RIVER FALLS, Wis. (AP) Nick Novak and Connor Barth have a lot in common. They're roommates. They're good friends. They're trying to stomp on each other's dreams.
There's only one opening for a place kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs and Novak and Barth are competing against each other for the job neck and neck, or foot and foot as the case may be.
Novak, with 16 NFL games on his resume, has an edge in experience. In two stints at Washington and one at Arizona, he's 13-for-20 in field goals and 25-for-25 in extra points. Barth is an undrafted rookie on a team that's recently had a terrible experience with a rookie kicker.
In a camp that's been highlighted by heated competition at many positions, theirs is as close as any. Heading into Saturday night's preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals, the Chiefs have charted about 130 field goals, and Novak and Barth have both made about 85 percent.
They've been disappointing in the distance they've put into kickoffs. But 85 percent field-goal accuracy would be about a world and a half better than the 70 percent three struggling kickers combined for during a 4-12 campaign last year.
The Chiefs are hoping one man grabs hold of the job and keeps it.
"I told these two guys when we started camp, 'Look, one of you is going to make our team and one of you two is going to be our kicker for the entire year, and that's what we're looking for, some stability because we didn't have that last year,"' special teams coach Mike Priefer said.
The two have made an effort not to let their competition get in the way of friendship.
"We usually try to keep it on the field and everything," Barth said. "It's tough sometimes. You have a bad day and you get frustrated here and there, but for the most part it's been really good."
Novak has coached Barth's younger brother at a camp and met his rival's parents.
"Once I step on the field, and I think he's the same way, you want to impress and perform," Novak said. "But he just doesn't have the personality where it would come to where I wouldn't like the guy. We have a past as far as going to the same camps and I know his parents. The business side of it of course, I want to be the guy here at the end of the day. But he is also my friend and I want to see him be successful as well."
Adding to the uncertainty is the possibility that neither will win the job. After seeing rookie Justin Medlock fail so miserably last year, the Chiefs might want to go with someone more experienced. Veteran kickers get released often, such as Jay Feely, who was let go this week by Miami.
"Another thing that people aren't talking about is - we talk about it cause that's our job - is what do we do if one of these can't make it," Priefer said.
But Novak and Barth can't allow themselves to worry about such things. They're too close to winning an NFL job to be distracted by anything beyond their control.
"This is all a new experience for me, so I'm just trying to take it all in stride," Barth said.
Novak added: "I can't really describe the feeling I would get if I won this job."
Coaches will take a close look at what they do on Saturday night against Arizona.
"I would like to see more out of kickoffs on Saturday night. That will be a telling sign," Priefer said. "I expect them both to make their field goals."

Android amateur photographers rejoice! Soon your iOS friends will not be the only cool kids in town with Instagram on their phone.
This weekend, the image editing/sharing app/network posted a notification sign-up for anyone that would like to know about their new Android app as soon as it is available.
We have known an Android app was coming for a few weeks now, ever since it was demoed at South By Southwest.
Once Android owners start using the app, Instagram's user total is sure to skyrocket. At last check, they had 13 million users, which is a very impressive total given the limited base of just iOS device owners. It will be interesting to see how long it takes them to eclipse Flickr's 50 million users.
What do you think? How big do you think Instagram will get once the Android floodgates open up? Will it become the biggest photo-sharing service?

Arisa White, author of You're The Most Beautiful Thing That Happened, on Writing Habits
Oct 26, 2016 09:35 am | firstname.lastname@example.com (Michelle Miller)
I recently read an interview on Rumpus with fiction writer Laurie Foos, and when asked about her writing habits, part of her response was "I wish more writers would be willing to talk about the not-writing periods."
In reflection, I realized that, technically, I am always writing. Even if it's just a line I eked out while cooking dinner. Or images I jot down while watching Judge Judy or some magnificent thought comes to me during a Netflix binge. So I had to feel my way through the various kinds of writing I do.
When I am Writing, it is from an idea that came to me that I now get to nurture into something. I have been pulled in by the unconscious and I'm going. I'm on the journey—it's me and this thing and I'm free to express. Something about that Writing feels private and intimate, it isn't concerned with audience or how it sounds or if it's understood. It is shaping itself into form and I'm being fulfilled deep down from a joyful source. This Writing makes me feel connected, like I took root, plugged in and now I'm energized.
Lately, I've been in what I would define as a not-writing period. With managing my teaching load, a gig to write a children's book in verse, this is the not-writing where my writerly output is satisfying the needs of someone or something else that has little do with my inner creative desires. And this isn't a "good" or "bad" thing; it is what is.
For instance, the children's book I'm co-writing meets a desire of mine. I've wanted to try my hands writing for children. This particular project requires research on the life of Biddy Mason, who was born a slave in Georgia, petitioned for her freedom in California, and later became a wealthy landowner in Los Angeles. Much wasn't written about her earlier life as a slave, and writing verse for a lower 4th grade reading level has presented hair-pulling challenges. These rhetorical restraints force me to employ a whole other set of skills that I don't often use. I'm encountering a new writing persona of mine, and I'm self-conscious about her presence, unsure how she functions, fear that she will fail. The risks involved don't make writing a safe and free space. In this case, the writing is public, the content is based on a historical figure, there is an intended audience and the writing must meet their needs.
In these moments when I'm going and going, and not much time for myself, watching movies is like a vacation. It's how I bring pleasure back into my life—the indulgence in a good movie, or drama series, with my favorite bag of chips and the company of my wife is restorative. This also goes for making a meal, after picking out the ingredients in the market, or hanging out with friends, dissecting the word play on Battle Rap. The not-doing makes it possible to do later. Most important, the not-doing allows you space to see yourself more clearly.
Revision is another one of my pleasures during my not-writing periods. To return to pieces that I once thought were blah—my current feeling toward the new stuff I'm writing—with a pair of fresh eyes, I better see its potential and can work my craft to bring about it's life. Revision quiets the inner critic who pesters me about writing more and hates on the quality of what I do produce. Revision says to that doubting, self-conscious self, that I, the writer will not abandon you.
During this shift in my relationship to time, I'm wondering how to access that "in-the-pocket" feeling I get when I'm with my writing, uninterrupted. How can it happen on the Bart ride from Lake Merritt to Daly City? From Oakland to Sunnyvale? For an eight-hour day? Then there is the practice of returning to a piece each time—how to start again and again? This habit of seeing myself has been invaluable. Noticing my behaviors, my responses and seeing how my series of actions contribute to what I put forth in the world, gets me comfortable with the writer I need to be when I can't retreat.
I'm better at letting it be. Not stressing out on what I should, could or would be doing if…. Realizing that each of these different kinds of writing is keeping me in shape. I'm challenged to integrate my poetic voice in my prose, dramatic writing, essays, because without it, my writing lacks truth. It doesn't have a center and the primary sound from which my voice builds. This broadens my definition of poet and acclimates me to knowing my voice in other ways so its timbers do not intimidate me.
About the Book
Angular, smart, and fearless, Arisa White's newest collection takes its titles from words used internationally as hate speech against gays and lesbians, reworking, re-envisioning, and re-embodying language as a conduit for art, love, and understanding. "To live freely, observantly as a politically astute, sensually perceptive Queer Black woman is to be risk taker, at risk, a perceived danger to others and even dangerous to/as oneself," writes poet Tracie Morris. "White's attentive word substitutions and range of organized forms, lithe anecdotes, and disturbed resonances put us in the middle of living a realized, intelligent life of the senses." You're the Most Beautiful Thing That Happened works through intersectional encounters with gender, identity, and human barbarism, landing deftly and defiantly in beauty.
Early Praise
This is what I'm talking about. The fierce truth, the gorgeous loneliness, the late-night bravery and the tender, tender heart. It's the poetry of Arisa White and it's divine in every sense. Let's all talk about it." – Daniel Handler, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
"Swiss army knives, scuttling crabs, pinball machines, HIV/AIDS, the West Side Highway, daisy breasts, racial slurs, kitchen sink scorch marks, and mustangs running through veins: through all the kaleidescoping nouns of White's new collection, the starring roles are played by lust and roving hands and lovers and beloveds. These poems are nearly unblurbable: delicate yet tough, visceral and cerebral, innocent yet experienced, loving and longing, grotesque and hopeful: "…I drag our placenta behind us. Together/ can be restored with a blink." Come for the lyrical mastery, stay for the god-level Eros. The third full-length collection by one of America's most promising poets, You're the Most Beautiful Thing That Happened is required reading for anyone who's ever loved, been loved, or forgotten how." – Amy King, The Missing Museum
"Arisa White's You're the Most Beautiful Thing That Happened is a book whose true engine is love, and whose every poem, in all kinds of ways, reaches toward love. That in itself is astonishing, and to be praised. But add the formal playfulness, the rich music, the storytelling, and, perhaps especially, the sense of justice and humanity, and you'll realize you're holding a truly beautiful book in your hands." – Ross Gay, Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude
"Arisa White sharpens her words against this unpredictable world we live in, with the poems in You're the Most Beautiful Thing That Happened. In verse that is exhilarating and unexpected, White writes of race, of women loving women, of these all too human bodies we wear, of cities, of landscape. You're the Most Beautiful Thing That Happened is an assured and memorable book of poetry, one that provokes thought as much as it provokes a depth of feeling." – Roxane Gay, Bad Feminist
"Whether remembering a neglected friend or experiencing a sensual touch, Arisa White's poems will take your breath away. They nestle into rich language then burst up and out like birds taking flight; so close you feel their heat and wings inside you. She traverses many landscapes, both physical and emotional, sometimes evoking a melancholy longing, at other times an eager passion. In either case, these are exquisite, finely crafted poems that are irresistible." – Jewelle Gomez, The Gilda Stories: Expanded 25th Anniversary Edition
"Arisa White's You're the Most Beautiful Thing That Happened makes us sweat, reflect, cry, and discover. With a deft utilization of prose poetry, lyric essay, and verse, White delivers a guide to learning our freedoms. You will probably have to reconfigure your definition of beauty after you read this book." – Willie Perdomo, The Essential Hits of Shorty Bon Bon
"There are not enough books like or near Arisa White's new collection, You're the Most Beautiful Thing That Happened, addressing what it is to be young, Lesbian and Queer and Black and tender and unapologetic and erotic. In these poems, I hear Pat Parker's wit and challenge, and the insistence of Audre Lorde demanding that we look, listen, celebrate and change." – Pamela Sneed, Imagine Being More Afraid of Freedom Than Slavery

Report: Cardinals to call up top prospect Oscar Taveras
Oscar Taveras -- perhaps the best hitting prospect in all of baseball -- is reportedly on his way to St. Louis.
More MLB: Power Rankings | Expert Picks | Latest news & notes | Fantasy news
According to the sources of veteran baseball reporter Rob Rains, the Cardinals will soon call up top prospect Oscar Taveras.
Taveras, age 21, is presently batting .325/.373/.525 with seven homers and 15 doubles in 49 games for Triple-A Memphis. Taveras, whom the Cardinals signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2008, was ranked as the no. 3 overall prospect in baseball prior to this season by MLB.com and Baseball America. Across parts of six minor-league seasons, Taveras is a career .321/.377/.519 hitter, and he's authored those numbers despite being significantly younger than his peer group at every stop.
While Taveras is best suited to an outfield corner, he's capable of manning center. If he's indeed on his way to St. Louis, then don't be surprised if he's shifted around the outfield. Also of note is that starting June 4, the Cardinals will play seven straight road games against AL teams. As such, they'll have the DH spot available for one of their spare outfielders.

Enforcement of Arbitral Awards
04.03.2013, Dmitri A. Lubomudrov, Anastasia G. Yakovleva
Russian law sets a limited list of valid reasons for setting aside or refusing the enforcement of arbitral awards by courts of general jurisdiction or arbitrazh (commercial) courts. Reversal of arbitral awards is not allowed. In this respect, arbitral awards have preference over court judgments to the extent that the law provides more opportunities for challenging the judgments. Unfortunately, arbitration is not infrequently used as a mechanism for attaining very specific and sometimes unseemly business purposes.

Allotropes of Carbon
Carbon exists in various allotropic forms of which graphite and diamond are the well known crystalline forms.
Diamond possesses a rigid structure in which the carbon atoms are covalently bonded in a tetrahedral fashion with C-C bond length 154 pm. It is very hard due to which it is used as an abrasive.
Graphite posses a layer structure with carbon atoms in the form of planar hexagonal rings , it undergoes sp2 hybridisation in which carbon atoms are linked through three sigma bonds and one pi bond. The successive layers are 340 pm far apart and C-C bond length is 141.5 pm. Due to lose packing of layers covalent bonds can be easily broken unlike diamond. Hence, graphite is a good conductor of heat and electricity.
Giant modern structures of carbon were formed when an electric arc is struck in graphite in an inert atmosphere. This structure containing 60 or 70 carbon atoms forming cage like structures are called fullerenes . They are the purest forms of allotropic carbon. C60 which has a shape like soccer ball and called Buckminster fullerene.

Rhino tend to stick close to their "middens"—dung piles—and this predictably makes them even more vulnerable.
dung is to Ofili what beds are to Tracey Emin or formaldehyde is to Damien Hirst.
Private parts, be they of ducks, damselflies or dung beetles, turn out to have evolved novel forms at breakneck speeds.

Franklin County Assessor Tom Copeland said his office received notification Thursday that the reimbursement the county assessor's office gets from the state will cease as of July 1.
This fiscal year, his office was set to get about $215,000 in state funding.
"We're losing that as of Monday or Tuesday of this next week," Copeland said.
His office gets a $3 state reimbursement for each parcel it reviews.
"If the county can't find ways to support us with that shortfall then we would have to take measures in relation to cutting our expenditures," Copeland said.
The county commission Friday afternoon approved going forward with lending the assessor's office the money in hopes that the issues with the state funding can be resolved.
The state money is used for operational expenses in the assessor's office, such as salaries and fuel. Copeland's office does not get general funding from the county, he said.
The assessor's office also gets about $655,000 from the county taxing entities.
The issues with the funding appear to be related to the state budget and may not be resolved until after the Legislature's veto session in September.

7th graders go after methane, carbon with invention
Gregory R. Norfleet
· News · April 26, 2013
A quartet of young scientists wanted to do something to solve a human problem related to climate change and finished by addressing two.
Seventh graders Katie Edge, Bridgett Buol, McKenna Walsh and Annika Olson created a design for a wind-powered compost turner. The primary aim of the device keeps food waste out of landfills, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and the production of methane gases. But by powering it with wind, it also reduces dependence on carbon-based fuels.
Edge said that when food waste sits in a landfill, it builds up gases that are harmful to the environment. The compost turner keeps the food rotating, allowing oxygen in to help it decompose before putting it into a garden.
Regular fertilizer is not so natural, Walsh said. We create our own fertilizer with more natural resources.
The team plans to enter their invention in the Google Science Fair 2013 Competition, which looks for ideas from children ages 13 to 18.
There were some really cool ideas from last year, Edge said.
West Branch Middle School science teacher Brad McClosky said the team worked with New Pioneers Scott Koepke, who estimated that 70 percent of landfill garbage could be redirected and used for fertilizer.
Walsh said the teams device is simple, meaning that homeowners and farmers could build one. But it took some work to figure out a good design, they said, like using different materials and shapes for the windmill blade design.
We dont want (the food waste) to sit on the ground like it would in a landfill, Buol said.
Their machine runs a belt from the windmill to turn a container that keeps the food waste tumbling. They said the container would be filled and emptied from one of the flat sides.
This is a chance to make a change, Walsh said.
The grand prize in the Google Science Fair includes a 10-day trip to the Galapagos Islands with National Geographic Expeditions and $50,000 in scholarship funding.
Walsh said the pupils could also earn grants for the school.
Its actually a pretty big deal, Walsh said.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2012, net income was $206,000 or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to net income of $705,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. Cash flow from operating activities was $41,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1.9 million for the prior year comparable period. During the first nine months ended June 30, 2012, the Company spent $691,000 to repurchase its stock. Shahram Askarpour, President of ISSC, commented, "During the quarter, we balanced the need to deliver results in the near term while achieving progress on the four large EMD programs that will increase our addressable market over the long term. Among the accomplishments in the quarter was the completion of the development of the Flat Panel Display System ("FPDS") phase of the NNSA Boeing 737 program. Since the end of the quarter, we have completed the certification flight test for the FPDS phase of the program, and we expect to receive an STC from the FAA in the very near future. This certification will be the first of three STC's that we expect to receive for the NNSA program. In June, Eclipse Aerospace officially launched initial Eclipse 550 twin-engine jet production which will include our OEM advanced avionics suite, with deliveries expected to begin in 2013. Although near term conditions remain challenging throughout the military, general aviation and commercial air transport markets, we are confident that the investments that we are making to broaden our product portfolio, for both the retrofit and OEM markets, will enable us to penetrate new and growing markets and generate attractive returns for shareholders."

You could say that Cameron Diaz never left in the first place, but you'd be wrong. At some point after the last Charlie's Angels, she'd recessed into the dark corner from which Knight and Day and The Box emerged. But then came Bad Teacher, which wasn't so bad.

|Abduction Den
|Time Limit
|sublevel 1 - 180
| Pokos (w/ no death bonus
& w/o time bonus)
|Red Pikmin
|Yellow Pikmin
|Spicy Spray
|Bitter Spray
The Abduction Den is the twenty-fourth level in Challenge mode in Pikmin 2. There is only one sublevel, but there are many enemies. These enemies include: Bumbling Snitchbugs, Careening Dirigibugs, Fiery Dweevils, a Swooping Snitchbug, and a Greater Spotted Jellyfloat.
As said, there are quite a few enemies that take Pikmin and Captains in the air (abduction). It would be wise to lure the Greater Spotted Jellyfloat away from the rest to get the key it holds. If one is here for the pink flowers, then nothing else should be done. If a high score is wanted, taking out the Careening Dirigibugs with an Ultra-Bitter Spray is advisable.
Another way to beat this
Take both Captains with no Pikmin, and go over to the Greater Spotted Jellyfloat. Let it suck up ONLY ONE of the Captains, and let the other one freeze the Jellyfloat when it sucks up the Captain. Then as the Captain that is inside the Jellyfloat, rapidly press the same buttons you would as if you were taken by a Snitchbug. The Jellyfloat will break, you will escape, and the key is yours. take the key and escape as quickly as you can.

The meeting of the GoM on Land Acquisition Bill remained divided over the issue of retrospective acquisitions and the consent required from land owners
New Delhi: The meeting of a Group of Minister (GoM) on Land Acquisition Bill on Monday remained divided over the issue of retrospective acquisitions and the consent required from land owners with Indian Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar saying two-three meetings are required to finalise the bill, reports PTI.
During the last meeting too, the same issues had divided the members of the GoM headed by Pawar.
"No final view on retrospective clause could happen. We have not taken any final call on the suggestion that consent of two-third people will be required," a source familiar with the development said.
In Monday's meeting, some Ministers also demanded to retain the original clause of seeking consent of 80% of people (land owners) for acquiring land.
The 80% clause was earlier changed to seeking the consent of two-third (66%) of the land owners for making such acquisitions.
Talking to reporters after the meeting, Pawar said, "Two or three more meetings are needed for finalising the bill."
He said all the issues will be settled and the bill will be finalised in two or three more meetings.
"All ministers except Finance Minister P Chidambaram and Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia were present in the meeting. It (more meetings) will get done before this week," the sources said.
The first meeting of the GoM on the Land Acquisition Bill last month had witnessed a strong demand by some members for retaining a window of retrospective application which was done away with earlier.
The meeting had discussed threadbare the contentious clause of prospectively in the Bill and a question of Rehabilitation and Resettlement package on par with the Land Acquisition bill for the affected parties in mineral-rich forest areas.
Considering the protest from the industries and other infrastructure Ministries, the Rural Development Ministry has said it has made changes in the controversial clause which had said that the Bill would apply retrospectively.
According to this clause, the Bill would be applicable to all cases of land acquisition before the date of commencement of the Act if the award under the 1894 Act has not been made.
The Rs2,500-crore IPO of the state-run Rashtriya Ispat Nigam or RINL has been deferred twice since the filing of the draft documents with SEBI
New Delhi: Indian government on Monday said it will kickstart its ambitious Rs30,000 crore disinvestment programme with stake sale in Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd (RINL), this month, reports PTI.
"We have lined up all the cases for the next six months. The first case (RINL) is coming up sometime this month," Finance Minister P Chidambaram told reporters at the Economic Editors' Conference.
The Rs2,500-crore initial public offering (IPO) of the state-run RINL has been deferred twice since the filing of the draft documents with the market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on 18th May.
An Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM) is likely to meet on Tuesday to decide on the date and pricing of the IPO, a source said.
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs in January had approved disinvestment of 10% of the government's 100% stake in the firm.
An official source said that government has identified four more PSUs -- NMDC, NTPC, Power Grid Corporation (PGCIL) and Engineers India (EIL) -- for divesting its minority stake.
"We have floated a paper for inter-ministerial consultation for disinvestment of NMDC, NTPC, EIL and PGCIL and the proposals would soon come up before the Cabinet," the source said.
The Department of Disinvestment (DoD), the nodal point for conducting PSU stake sale, has already got Cabinet approval for stake sale in seven companies, including RINL, Hindustan Copper, Oil India, MMTC, NALCO.
The government plans to raise Rs30,000 crore through disinvestments in 2012-13.
On the budgeted target for disinvestment, Chidambaram said, "I will be quite happy if I can meet the target and complete the timetable (for disinvestment) as laid down.
Because if we do it in the five-and-a-half months that's indeed fast-tracking".
Chidambaram said reforms are required in coal, mining, power, petroleum and natural gas, as well as infrastructure sectors to help create jobs
"There should also be no controversy over reforms in the coal, mining, power, petroleum & natural gas, and infrastructure sectors including roads, railway and shipping.
It is these sectors that are the drivers of growth," he said.
Chidambaram said the first comprehensive Cabinet paper on allowing FDI in retail was prepared by the NDA Government in 2002, in which it acknowledged that FDI in retail was essential to improve the supply chain in agriculture which alone will bring benefits to both producers and consumers.
"That paper also endorsed the argument that FDI in retail will generate millions of jobs. The idea was never rejected.
So, why should there be a controversy when the Government announced its intention to lay down guidelines in order to enable FDI in retail," he questioned.
The Indian government had last month had allowed 51% FDI in multi-brand retail.
Saying that the implementation of FDI is left to the discretion of the states, Chidambaram said, "The controversy over FDI in retail is, in my view, unnecessary and unjustified".
Without reforms, India risk a sharp and continuing slowdown of the economy which it cannot afford given the imperative need to generate jobs and incomes for a large population, most of whom are young, says the Finance Minister
New Delhi: Cautioning that absence of economic reforms will slow down growth, Indian Finance Minister P Chidambaram on Monday said political parties may oppose but should not obstruct decision making, reports PTI.
"Every government is entitled to lay down policies. Opposition to policies is legitimate, obstructionism is not," Chidambaram said while addressing the annual Economic Editors' Conference.
"The government of the day must be allowed to lay down policies, pass legislations wherever necessary, and get on with the job of implementing those policies," he added.
Noting that these were challenging times, the Minister said, "Without reforms, we risk a sharp and continuing slowdown of the economy which we cannot afford given the imperative need to generate jobs and incomes for a large population, most of whom are young."
India's economic growth during 2011-12 slipped to nine- year low of 6.5% and during the first quarter of the current fiscal it was 5.5%.
Expressing confidence that with requisite savings and investments India's economic growth rate will recover to 8% and more, and perhaps touch 9%, the Minister said, "We should keep that rate of growth as our objective and progress towards achieving that objective."
Indian government recently took host of reform initiatives but steps like hiking foreign direct investment (FDI) cap in insurance and pension to 49% would require legislative changes, which would not be possible without the support of main opposition party Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
"Long standing structural reforms required to achieve high investment and high growth rates have been held back because of many reasons.
"Among them are...the need to forge a consensus on reforms, the practical necessity to garner support across the political spectrum to pass legislation... Nevertheless we are now addressing the difficult areas of reforms", he added.
Referring to the government decision to allow FDI in multi-brand retail, Chidambaram said, "We must not fear foreign investments in India. We have the sovereign right to decide where and how foreign investments would be allowed into India."
The decisions to allow foreign investment should not be tested on the basis of undefined ideology or theory, but on a clear-headed assessment of the advantages that would accrue to India, he said.
"I have no doubt...FDI in retail, aviation and FM radio broadcasting are decisions that will benefit the economy and the country," he added.
Chidambaram also underlined the need for containing inflation and said that appreciating value of the rupee would help in brining down the cost of imported crude, petroleum products and fertilisers.
"The value of rupee is an important factor that effects the value of imports. A depreciating rupee will also impact trade and investment. Hence, the need to stabilise the exchange rate. I believe that we have met with moderate success," the Minister said.
The rupee, which touched 57.22 to a dollar on 27 June 2012, has gradually appreciated to 52.13.
The other important task before the government was to contain fiscal deficit, he said, adding, "no one will have confidence in the Indian economy if there is uncertainty about the fiscal stability of the country".
As regards the Kelkar Committee on fiscal consolidation, the Minister said that it has presented the worst-case scenario and it was the duty of the government to take steps to avoid that and "do every thing possible to contain deficits".
The government, Chidambaram added, will shortly announce a fiscal consolidation programme based on the feedback on the Kelkar Committee report.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I had a DUI charge in 1992 leveled against me even though my BAC was half (.05/.1) the legal limit. My Atty got the prosecution to drop the case Nolle Prosequi, and I had to pay for a broken tail light and legal fee's. To this day I'm mad as hell about it, and have at time considered reopening the case, and plead not guilty. IF I was to do that, what do you think my chances would be of an acquittal? Would the State come at me looking for jail time? That is the ONLY criminal complaint I have ever had, and my driving record is very good. No I'm not crazy, just pissed after all these years.

You have no ability to open a dismissed case. If it is dismissed, you should consider seeking an expungement as your final way of 'cleaning' your record.
Every case varies depending on the law and the facts. Because questions often fail to disclose important facts, these 'answers' cannot and should not be relied upon as a replacement for a full or complete review of an actual case by a retained attorney. It is axiomatic that one only 'gets what they pay for', and this is one of those situations where such a phrase generally applies.Ask a similar question
Attorney Ramsell said it all. You cannot open up a case that was dismissed. Especially one that was dismissed 20 some years ago.Ask a similar question
Seriously? Why on earth would you want to have a case reopened when it was dismissed? You are taking a huge risk, even if you could reopen the case, which is not likely. As for the outcome, there is no way of knowing. Get over it and move on. Your attorney got you a great deal.Ask a similar question
There is no practical difference between a nolle pros and a not guilty. You cannot reopen the case because it is a criminal charge which the State, by entering a nolle pros with leave of court, refused to prosecute. You cannot compel the State to prosecute you. You do understand, do you not, that an acquittal is not an exoneration? All it means is that your guilt was not established beyond a reasonable doubt. You won this case twelve years ago and are going nowhere with it now.Ask a similar question
For all practical purposes, you already got a not guilty.
Nolle Prosequi is the prosecutor voluntarily dismissing the case. You won. There is no reason to "reopen" the case even if you could (which you can't).
I'm not sure why you feel it would be necessary to consider such an action. If the case was dismissed, file a petition to expunge the record.
Don't be angry- you won your case.
Even if your BAC is below the legal limit, you can still be guilty of DUI (the court or jury could find that you were impaired by alcohol. I would say you should be happy with the fact that the case was dismissed and leave well enough alone.
This general legal advice does not create an attorney-client relationship. Every case is individual and to have legal advice that you can rely on you need to talk to an attorney one on one, answer their questions, and hire them.Ask a similar question
A Nolle Prosequi is a dismissal at the State's request with the ability for the State to re-file, or reinstate the charge. The State, however, may only reinstate the charge within the applicable Statute of Limitations, which for a Class A misdemeanor is 18 months. A Nolle Prosequi that is not re-filed within the Statute of Limitations is equivalent to a dismissal with prejudice, meaning the State can never re-file that case. The fact that the case was Nolle Prosequi indicates to most persons familiar with criminal law that the case was weaker than a case that proceeded all the way to trial and resulted in an acquittal. The State, for all intents and purposes, admitted they could not convict you of the charge.Ask a similar question

Sean Modesto: Paleontological Success
Posted on August 12, 2016
Sean Modesto first discovered his passion for paleontology as an undergraduate student while taking a course in vertebrate paleontology and evolution at the University of Toronto in the 1980s. He found the lecture material fascinating, and after participating in the practical component of the course – the mechanical preparation of a 55 million-year old fish – he was hooked.
Sean has been working in the field of paleontology for twenty-nine years, the past thirteen of which as Associate Professor of Biology at CBU. When he is not teaching students, Sean spends his days at the university studying fossil specimens, writing papers, conducting computer analysis, and supervising summer research students. Involved in the paleontology community even outside of office hours, he is also a Managing Editor for the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology's Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology for which he prepares accepted scientific manuscripts for the publisher.
Sean says one of the most exciting aspects of his career is finding fossils of particularly rare animals. "On two separate occasions during field work in South Africa I've found skulls that became the type specimens of their respective, new species. In both cases my field identification of the fossil turned out to be wrong, and I only became aware I had a new species once I started looking at the fossil under a microscope," says Sean.
Currently, Sean is working on several projects involved in studying the anatomy and evolutionary relationships of reptiles that lived at the end of the Paleozoic Era. One of these projects is the naming of a new species of faunivorous reptile from a 289-million-year-old cave deposit in Oklahoma. He is also involved in collaborative research of vertebrate survivorship of the end-Permian extinction event of 252 million years ago, which involves ongoing field work in South Africa.
Sean notes the importance of paleontology to scientists, and says, "Palaeontology is the study of the organisms that lived in the past – their remnants (bones, teeth, shells, footprints, etc.) are now preserved in rocks. Many extinct invertebrates are relatively common and widespread enough to help geologists sort out layers of rock, and so were critical to the formulation of Geologic Time."
CBU Biology Team Finds New rare Yellow Lampmussel Population in Cape Breton
Posted on August 5, 2016
Kellie White, a senior lab instructor in the Department of Biology at Cape Breton University, along with her research team, recently made an exciting discovery in Forrester's Lake, Cape Breton. What they found was a pile of bright yellow shells from the rare Yellow Lampmussel, a freshwater mussel that is listed as a species of "special concern" by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada.
Until recently, only two Canadian populations had ever been discovered, one in New Brunswick's Saint John River and a second in Cape Breton's Blackett's Lake. In 2012, a third population was discovered in Pottle Lake, North Sydney.
"We knew what we were hoping to find, but we didn't know we'd stumble upon it so quickly and in one of the first lakes we checked," says White. "These two newly found populations are important for this rare species, not just because they represent additional Canadian populations but also because of the protections afforded to Pottle Lake, as a potable water source, to protect the Yellow Lampmussel and its habitat."
For the past two years, Kellie and her team have been carrying out this research, funded by the CBRM Water Utility and the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans, within Pottle Lake and Forrester's Lake. They have been gathering vital information that will aide in conservation of the Yellow Lampmussel in Cape Breton. Their research also examines how freshwater mussels contribute to the high water quality of Pottle Lake (the water supply for North Sydney).
"Freshwater mussels filter both the water column and sediment, feeding on bacteria, algae, and plankton," explains White. "We estimate that there are currently 5.5 million mussels in Pottle Lake. Each mussel can filter between 0.5 – 1 litre of water per hour, so the mussels in Pottle are filtering between 66 and 132 million liters of water per day. At this rate, the entire volume of Pottle Lake would be filtered by the mussel population every 74 – 148 days."
This summer, White's team will continue to examine the filtering capacity of freshwater mussels in Pottle Lake. White's team will also be investigating the important role that fish play in the life cycle of the Yellow Lampmussel, as lampmussel larvae must attach to the gills of a fish and travel with it for a few weeks before being released to begin their adult life on the lake bottom. The mussels don't harm the fish and it's thought that this "piggy backing" aides in the distribution of the mussels throughout the lake (as they have very little mobility themselves).
In other locations the only fish species found to serve as a suitable host for Yellow Lampmussel is White Perch. White's team will be sampling fish in Forrester's and Pottle Lake to determine if White Perch serves as a host for these populations as well. White and her team are also interested to see if the invasive fish species, the Chain Pickerel, is found in Pottle or Forrester's lake. Chain Pickerel has recently been discovered in Blackett's Lake and potentially threatens the survival of the Yellow Lampmussel there.
To support this effort White is also launching a "Bring us your Fish Heads" campaign, encouraging anglers who catch fish in Blackett's Lake, Meadows Brook, or the upper Sydney River to donate their fish heads to the CBU fish host study. The team will examine the gills for the presence of Yellow Lampmussel larvae.
Kellie White's work not only helps in the conservation of the Yellow Lampmussel but also helps teach CBU students about ecology. In addition to employing students to assist with this research, White also incorporates her research into her Ecology and Animal Behavior labs at CBU. White adds, "These types of projects allow students to learn how to conduct scientific research by participating in important local projects." This year Kellie hopes to have students from her second and third-year labs co-author and publish research papers on Cape Breton Yellow Lampmussel populations.
CBU Profs awarded more than $140K in NSERC Funding
Posted on July 19, 2016
The Government of Canada recently announced the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada's (NSERC) 2016 competition award winners for their discovery research programs and three Cape Breton University researchers were among the recipients. The programs, which include funds for scholarships, fellowships, research supplements and equipment grants, support researchers and students who are furthering our understanding of the world and how it works.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) The Australian Open will follow the U.S. Open and introduce an instant replay challenge system for disputed line calls.
The 2006 U.S. Open was the first Grand Slam tournament to introduce the video replay system, although the technology had been used at other ATP events.
The "Hawk-Eye" system will only be used on Rod Laver Arena — the center court at Melbourne Park — where two giant TV screens will be installed for players, officials and spectators to follow analysis of the disputed calls.
Australian Open spokesman John Lindsay said Tuesday organizers have yet to decide if they would limit the number of challenges — the U.S. Open allowed two per set to review line calls — or allow unlimited challenges.
Under the challenge system, a graphic rendering of the shot in question is played on the on-court video screen, with the ball's landing spot highlighted.
If the replay shows the original call was wrong, the player keeps that challenge. If the original call was correct, the player loses that challenge.
Prize money for the tournament, to be played Jan. 15-28, will increase to $14.95 million with the men's and women's singles champions each earning $960,000.
Roger Federer and Amelie Mauresmo are the defending champions.
Mark Edmondson, the last Australian man to win the national championship, will be inducted into the Australian Tennis Hall of Fame during the tournament. Edmondson, unseeded and ranked No. 212, beat John Newcombe in the 1976 final.

I know back when this whole CouchDB thang started there was a lot of talk about replicating designs around. This would be what allows a user to take an app offline, assuming the app server part was there. So in principle this is not somehting CouchDB would have a problem with. Someone a little more up to date on the current status might be able to shed more light, but there is nothing wrong with storing some docs that are design rather than data. Kerr

Professionals could be given longer periods of "gardening leave" when they move jobs because of the rise of networking site LinkedIn, a senior lawyer at a top London firm has said.
Daniel Isaac said the popularity of the site, which millions use to connect with business contacts, meant it was increasingly difficult for companies to enforce "non-solicitation" contracts barring departing staff from luring clients to new employers.
The partner at Withers said some would respond by imposing stricter contractual restrictions to stop ex-employees from competing for business against their former firm for up to a year after leaving.
But he predicted other firms would instead opt for longer periods of gardening leave in a move that could give hundreds of people each year the chance to enjoy extra months off at their former employer's expense.
The prediction comes ahead of a seminar on how social media trends are affecting business, hosted by Withers next week.
Other topics that will be discussed include reputational damage caused by inappropriate tweets and the risk of "off-message misbehaviour" by employees on social media.
Mr Isaac said the growth of LinkedIn, which claims to be used by one in three professionals worldwide, was likely to bring one of the most significant changes. This was because the networking site automatically notifies a person's contacts whenever they update their employment status.
He said although this was a potential breach of non-solicitation agreements, it could be difficult for employers to take legal action to prevent it. An alternative approach was to ask employees to "unlink" from clients when they left.
But Mr Isaac, whose specialisms include employment law and the creative industries, said this was also likely to prove unworkable, leaving longer paid gardening leave as one of the best ways to stop ex-staff from taking clients to their new employer.
He said: "My prediction is that lots of people are going to go for the 'you must unlink' option, but that the tide of technology will sweep that away and we won't have the traditional non-solicitation clauses any more.
"One way that employers could then seek to protect themselves is through longer notice periods in which employees have to stay away from work on garden leave."
Mr Isaac said that a further option would be to award contracts containing more restrictive "non-competition" clauses. These prohibit departing employees from work that competes with their former employer for a specified period, limited by law.
