The Ticonderoga Elks Lodge 1494 presented dictionaries to third grade students at St. Mary's School. Elk members Mary Lloyd Burroughs and Richard A. Nadeau, PER, delivered the books to teacher Joanne Cook, volunteer Mary Ann Majors and students.
In an era of computers, smartphones and other technology, are paper dictionaries still relevant?
Ticonderoga Elks Lodge 1494 believes so.
"There's much more to a dictionary than just the spelling of a word," Richard Nadeau, Ti Elks Dictionary Project coordinator. "There are some things you just can't do with a computer. And there are still many students who don't have access to a computer or the internet."
That's why the local Elks recently completed their ninth year with the national Dictionary Project. The effort gives a dictionary to every third grade student in the area. This year more than 600 dictionaries were given to students at Ticonderoga, St. Mary's, Crown Point, Moriah, Putnam, Schroon Lake, Mountainside Christian Academy and Addison, Vt., schools.
The dictionaries, which are updated every year, also include the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, mathematical and science tables, presidential biographies, maps and other information. Large print dictionaries are available for students with vision problems.
"The goal is to give students a reference tool to help them," Elk David Carr said. "We feel a dictionary is an important tool for everyone. We know of students who have used their dictionaries all through school and taken them to college."
The Ti Elks also present French and Spanish dictionaries to middle school language students.
The Dictionary Project began in 1995 when Mary French, a resident of Charleston, S.C., decided to raise money for dictionaries in a local school. By 1999 French had managed to get dictionaries to every third grade students in her state. That's when Carr heard about it.
"My wife, Penny, is a retired English teacher," Carr said. "She thought it was a great idea to give dictionaries to students and suggested the Elks may want to get involved. I spoke to Sue Fahey, a Ticonderoga third grade teacher, and she was excited about the idea."
Later, while on vacation in South Carolina, the Carrs had an opportunity to meet French, who explained the Dictionary Project in detail. In 2003 the Ti Elks started the program locally.
"It was so successful that in 2004 I brought it to the New York State Elks Association and in 2005 to the grand lodge," Carr said. "I met with every state president and every state secretary. It really spread across the country and the Elks are a big part of it."
Civic groups and others support the Dictionary Project nationally with the Elks, having started in Ticonderoga, accounting for 40 percent of all dictionaries given away in the U.S.
"I want to thank the Elks for all their help in introducing the Dictionary Project nationwide to their members," French said. "Many Elks lodges throughout the United States have joined the Dictionary Project and have distributed several hundred thousand dictionaries to children.
"It is virtuous to work so hard to expand the vocabulary of the children where you live," she said. "I can't think of a better investment than putting words into the hands of children."
Carr eventually became national president of the Elks and remains active nationally. He handed the reins of the Ti Dictionary Project to Nadeau in 2006.
As coordinator of the Ticonderoga Dictionary Project, Nadeau is responsible for raising money to support the purchase of the books, ordering the dictionaries and distributing them to area schools.
"It's a treat to bring the dictionaries to a class room," Nadeau said. "We spend a few minutes explaining the dictionaries and we usually ask the students to look up a word. The kids are usually very excited and happy."
The dictionaries are distributed at the beginning of each school year, but it's a year-long project. Money needs to be raised each year and the dictionaries are ordered in the spring.
This year its cost Ti Elks $1,200 for the dictionaries.
"We get a lot of support financially, but we could certainly use more," Nadeau said. "The (Ticonderoga High School) Key Club, French Club and Spanish Club send us a check every year. Most of the money for the dictionaries comes from the Elks."
Individuals can also support the Dictionary Project. With a $50 donation the Elks will place a person's name or a memorial notice in 30 dictionaries.
"That's basically dictionaries for a class," Nadeau said. "Inside the front cover we place a sticker that reads something like 'Courtesy of...' or 'In memory of...' We point that out to the students when were deliver the dictionaries."
People interested in supporting the Dictionary Project can contact Nadeau by Email at email@example.com
Elks take photos and ask students to write a short note about their dictionaries. Those are collected and placed into an album kept at the Ticonderoga lodge.
"That album is on display for people to see what the Dictionary Project is all about," Nadeau said. "People are welcome to come in and see it."
Nadeau pointed out the Dictionary Project is just one of several Elks youth initiatives. The Elks also sponsor an Americanism Essay Contest and a drug awareness program.


text: Hello everyone! I came across this dog again today and brought him to the Humane Society! He is male, very thin, with ribs protruding outward, and wearing a faded, mulit color collar with blue on it. He is also very hyper, most likely because of his desparate situation of being starved! He still wanted to play ball though, which demonstrates his strong spirit to live! I really hope that a responsible person can adopt this dog, because it would seem that his current situation is not working! Hoping he gets a fresh start in life!

The Nook - too late to catch the Kindle?
The e-reader and tablet markets are sorted, right? Amazon owns the e-reader business with its Kindle, Apple's iPad dominates in tablets, with a bit of room at the cheaper end for Google's Nexus and the Kindle Fire. But a giant US book chain begs to differ.
Barnes and Noble has unveiled its plans for an assault on the UK market this morning. It will be offering British customers its Nook range of e-readers, along with new colour tablet computers, the Nook HD and the Nook HD+.
I had a briefing earlier this week, and got a chance to look at the devices. At first glance they seem worthy competitors to the Kindles, iPads and Nexuses. The Nook Simple Touch Glowlight, for instance, is a touchscreen e-reader with an inbuilt light which enables you to read in bed in the dark without disturbing your partner.
Backing up the impressive hardware is the Barnes and Noble online store, offering 2.5 million books, all of the leading newspapers and magazines and plenty of movies and TV series.
It seems a compelling offering and Barnes and Noble, which has grabbed 27% of the e-book market in the US, hopes to make a big impact in the UK. It believes its e-readers will prove more attractive than the Kindle, and its Nook colour tablets will give the Google Nexus and the Kindle Fire - when it arrives in the UK - a run for their money.
But here's the problem - it may be too late, the die may already be cast. In the smartphone market, hopeful executives from Nokia and Microsoft insist that the race has only just started because most of the world has yet to get a smartphone.
Similarly, Barnes and Noble can point out that most people have not yet got an e-reader or a tablet so there should be room for all sorts of new entrants.
The trouble is that in both markets, the early adopters have chosen the winners - Apple and Samsung in smartphones, Apple, Amazon and maybe Google in e-readers and tablets. And when consumers new to these markets ask friends what they should buy, they are likely to be told to get whatever those early adopters have chosen.
New devices may have better screens, superior battery life, and be lighter or thinner than the market leaders - but it's increasingly hard for consumers who aren't experts to differentiate between them. I waved a Nook around at a techie gathering this week, and most people thought it was a Kindle.
Given the huge dominance of Amazon in e-books - and Apple in tablets - many will be wishing Barnes and Noble well as it tries to carve itself a place in the UK market. More choice is surely a good thing. But a brand that is virtually unknown in the UK may struggle to get consumers to snuggle down with a good Nook rather than cosy up to a Kindle.

Cheek Lifts
Cheek lifts and mini face lifts with maximum results
Cheek lift surgery— which can include a mini lift, a complete cheek lift and neck lift, or a mid-face lift— is a facial plastic surgery that reduces the look of heavy or sagging cheek tissue to restore a more youthful appearance. Whether you want to reduce heavy jowls, puffy lower cheeks or tired eyes, a cheek lift can help reduce the signs of aging.
All three types of cheek lifts are considered outpatient facial plastic surgery procedures.
The mini lift
The mini lift
A mini lift is a cheek lift that produces more subtle improvements at a lower cost and is typically performed under local anesthesia. With a mini lift, just a small area is lifted near the ears to smooth skin across the cheek area.
Some patients choose to further rejuvenate their appearance by including an eye lift, brow lift or a neck lift with their cheek lift to help open eyes and further reduce fine lines.
These additions to a mini facelift or mini lift, are outpatient facial plastic surgery procedures, which are often done under local anesthesia, and produce more subtle improvement at a lower cost, and faster recovery.
The complete cheek lift
A complete cheek lift and neck lift provides more dramatic results by pulling sagging cheek tissue up and anchors it in place higher on the cheek bone, and improves the neck contour as well.
View more cheek lift photos
The mid-face lift
A mid-face lift smoothes the midsection or central third of the face.
About Scripps Clinic Division of Plastic Surgery
When considering facial plastic surgery, you want to be sure that you go to a plastic surgery center that offers safety as well as quality. At Scripps Clinic, our surgeons are expertly trained in cheeklifts/facelifts so they can create a natural look with maximum safety.
When you have a complete cheek lift, mini lift or mid-face lift at Scripps Clinic Division of Plastic Surgery, you can be assured of comfort and quality. The surgeons – Ross Rudolph, MD, and Salvatore Pacella, MD – who practice out of our plastic surgery center:
- Are board certified in plastic surgery
- Have years of experience in the artistry of cheek lifts, neck lifts, mini facelifts, mid-face lifts, eye lifts and brow lifts
- Partner with board-certified anesthesiologists
In addition, all procedures are performed in a hospital or approved ambulatory surgery setting for added sterility and infection prevention, as well as maximum safety.
What to expect
When you've made the decision to have facial plastic surgery, your surgeon will help you decide if a complete cheek lift and neck lift, mini facelift or mid-face lift is right for you. Your plastic surgeon will discuss the specifics of your surgery with you so that you can expect the best results for your skin and bone structure.
General guidelines for cheek lift surgery
While every patient is different, below are some general guidelines for your cheek lift surgery:
- The duration of cheek lift surgery depends on the type of cheek lift surgery. A mini lift will take less time than a mid-face lift or a complete cheek lift and neck lift
- During a complete cheek lift and neck lift, you will most likely be under a general anesthesia to reduce your discomfort. For a less dramatic mini lift or mid-face lift, you may only need local anesthesia
- Bruising is usually minimal to moderate after a complete cheek lift, mini lift or mid-face lift. The amount of bruising will depend on what type of facial plastic surgery you have.
- You will need to schedule several follow up appointments with your surgeon to check the progress of your complete cheek lift, mini facelift or mid-face lift including one or two days post procedure, and again at one and two weeks as necessary. All post facial plastic surgery visits are no charge.
- You may return to work within 10 to 14 days after any of the cheek lift surgeries
- Antibiotics as well as pain medication may be prescribed after your cheek lift surgery to help reduce discomfort, inflammation and possible infection

The Reefs, Bermuda
The Reefs is a family run hotel and one of the older establishments on the island. It perfectly combines old island charm with laid back luxury and will make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive.
The hotel is set into the limestone cliffs to the south of the island, between Hamilton and Hog Bay. Look out across the turquoise waters and over the private pink sandy beach and you'll realise why Bermuda is often referred to as the 'jewel of the Atlantic'.
Your Room
Suites are rustic and charming, with lots of hard wood and locally created art works. Many overlook the expansive ocean below and private terraces and gardens are available too. We loved taking a dip in the hot tub as we gazed out to the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse.
Why we like it
The boutique atmosphere of The Reefs and the more secluded location of this hotel makes it feel like you are visiting friends or relatives, far from a hectic and busy resort, you will find yourself totally unwinding here, in true island elegance.


text: News Release TPB Votes to Remove I-66 Project from Regional Transportation Plan Feb 18, 2009 Washington, D.C. – Following a lengthy discussion, the National Capital Region Transportation Planning (TPB) voted today to remove an Interstate 66 project from the 2009 Constrained Long-Range Transportation Plan (CLRP). The TPB was acting on a resolution to approve a set of projects for inclusion in the air quality conformity assessment. The assessment is a necessity for projects to be included in the regional plan. The I-66 project that was removed today consisted of spot improvements on portions of the interstate located within the Capital Beltway. I-66, which runs from Front Royal, Virginia into Washington, D.C. is a key passageway for area commuters. The project had previously been deferred due to a lack of funding. After an initial roll call vote resulted in a tie, Chris Zimmerman, TPB Member and Arlington County Board Member, requested that a weighted vote be taken. A weighted vote, an unusual move for the Board, allocates each jurisdiction in the region a percentage of the vote proportional to their population. The final weighted vote was 9.16 in favor of removing the project and 5.84 opposed. Zimmerman and several other Board members expressed their desire to see the results of a multi-modal environmental impact study before approving the project's inclusion in the CLRP. The CLRP identifies all regionally significant transportation projects and programs that are planned in the Washington metropolitan area from the present until 2030. Over 750 projects are included, ranging from simple highway landscaping to billion-dollar highway and transit projects. Tags: CLRP Highways & Roads Back to news

Passenger dies in Highway 30 crash
by Bend Weekly News Sources
The identity of a passenger killed in a two-vehicle accident on Highway 30 near Scappoose late Sunday afternoon is being withheld pending notification of family members, deputies reported.
The passenger of this vehicle, as yet unidentified, died in a two-car crash on Highway 30 Sunday - MCSO photoAccording to a news release issued by the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office, deputies were called to the scene on Highway 30 and Rocky Point Road about 6:30 p.m., July 29. Because of the severity of injuries and other observations, deputies requested the assistance of the East County Vehicle Crimes Team (VCT), which is comprised of Oregon State Police, and police departments from Gresham, Troutdale and Fairview.
VCT conducted an investigation with closed all lanes of traffic for several hours, and is expected to continue throughout Monday. According to a news release, preliminary investigation suggests that drugs or alcohol do not appear to be a factor in the crash, and no charges have yet been filed.
According to witness statements, a 1969 Chevelle SS driven by 65-year old James Phelps of St. Helens was stopped on Rocky Point Road preparing to turn left (north) onto Highway 30 toward Scappoose. Witnesses reported that the vehicle fish-tailed, briefly regained control, then skidded into the path of and collided with a 2001 Chevrolet Malibu.
Phelps and his passenger were both ejected from their vehicle, and the car body was separated from the chassis. Phelps was transported to in Emanuel Hospital where he was listed in serious but stable condition, and his passenger was deceased.

Summary: It was thee best "Big Show" show, ever, and I've seen them all. It DID rain on Sunday's parade, but it didn't dampen the enthusiasm.
Friday night:
Rush hour traffic TO the theatre for tech rehearsal wasn't good, but wasn't horrible. Such a beautiful, historical theatre; it even has a balcony. The girls checked out the small dressing rooms, yet with lighted mirrors, and a sturdy rod that went the length of the room which was great for hanging costumes. It was exciting to see their Irish Dance school name on the marquee, and M's photo on the wall-sized poster as advertisement. Visited a local Irish establishment with a dance dad (DAID) while waiting, who took a smaller poster to put in their window. C's office is nearby, so he'd stopped over and told me to pick up a town newspaper, as M's photo and a write up on "Big Show" and TCRG Ma was in it. Got texts from E's daughter about the "smaller town" parade Saturday morning. Seeing the dancers onstage still gives me such pride in them all. I picked up the tickets I'd ordered last December, put two back on hold in my mother's name, and worried that our 3rd row seats would be too close, oh well. Tech rehearsal ran a little over, but it'd run well. The 100 extra lightbulbs that'd been rented, were needed.
I took M home so she could prepare for Saturday and get some rest, then I joined E at a ceili in progress. This is our main Irish ceili and set dance groups annual St. Patrick's Day ceili. It's beginner and family-friendly, and the one M enjoys the most, where people "know her name," and have watched her grow up. She'd started her Irish dancing with this group. M's stepdance school often performs a short bit during break, but the owners of the small town venue complained of the hardshoes on their wooden floor, and the dancers had their tech rehearsal as a conflict, anyway. (Another of their school's performing group performed at the annual "big country club" gig, so yeah, one less stressor.) I was tired, but it was fun to get in the time there that I could, even the last dance of Haymaker's Jig. M enjoys that dance, and had planned to attend, originally. Even TCRG Ma exclaimed regret, "I love that ceili!" I got a call confirming the new time for dancers to meet up at the theatre tomorrow, and I texted with M to make sure she was getting to bed.
After I was home and walked Daisy, I pulled M's black jazz pants and yet another pair of black tights out of the wash, which M'd forgotten to do, in hopes they'd dry by morning.
Threw black jazz pants and black socks into the dryer for just a short bit. Called Mom about the tickets being in her name, which relieved her. I reminded her that my stepfather's seat has no one sitting in front of him, which should be great for his legs. I figured I'd tell Mom at the threatre that C's mother had asked ME, not him who lives in this town, to pick up a ticket for her. Ultimately, E would sit w/ his parents, and C's mother would sit with Mom, stepfather, and me.
M went to pack up her gold tiara for SO's daughter, and realized it can't work any longer for her old green velvet with gold sleeves solo dress. Previously, L's mom lovingly sewed a pink backing to M's gold tiara to match M's current solo dress, of pink, gold, and black. SO's daughter had borrowed M's green and gold dress to dance at Shamrockfest at RFK stadium, as she's between dresses. SO said the girl could wear her silver tiara and wig, instead. M's "Big Show" will use natural hair. Some girls were curling their hair, but apparently the latest thing is straightening hair. M was up early straightening hers, and going over her costumes again just in case. I left to pick up E and drop him off at the "town" parade; he's in charge of our main groups parades. His daughter brought her two boys, all decked out and excited. I hated missing it; I never miss this one. At least I didn't have to also find SO in the gatherings to pass off the tiara. All reports are that this one was fun and went well, like usual.
Helped M pack her basket and things into the car, and off to the theatre! This was dress rehearsal morning, with full colored lights and costumes and hair and makeup. One adult in the group had asked the newer girls how to apply makeup; they all needed assistance from the more veteran performers. Two girls just received their new, new-styled velvet dresses; one arrived that morning. It's interesting how each unique dress looks so wonderful on its owner when planned well. How beautiful, and how differently they'd look if on another dancer. I talked some with TCRG/Figures Teacher about the solo dresses, upcoming spring recital, and the figures choreography. The figures choreography piece is in "Big Show," and looks really great with their new school dresses. I waited until their opening number, which took a while as details were being set up and worked out first. Wow. All the time, all the driving, all the rehearsals and lessons, all their hard work and dedication, and us parents money. When these dancers come out in their fanciest competition costumes, i.e., the solo dresses for girls and vests and tie outfits for boys, and perform that opening hardshoe piece, it just takes your breath away. They looked great, and obviously love dancing it. It's just so worth it. I'm so proud of them all.
E was calling to see when I'd be back, as the town parade had ended. I hated leaving the dress rehearsal, yet, my day was only beginning. The parade after party, with our main dance group, was about to start. While I skipped the several versions of corned beef, I love the carrots and potatos and cabbage boiled along with the corned beef. And soda bread. And, specially made Irish coffee (rather weak this year but that's just fine). Some music, some hanging out, then off again. E's parents were driving up from northern Virginia, to his home. They're getting a little older, and were meeting us at E's home. (My mother and stepfather live in the older town where "Big Show" was being held.) The parking garage was PACKED as was the theatre, and we'd even arrived in plenty of time. My stepfather wasn't feeling well, unfortunately, but a friend of my mom's was able to use the ticket.
It was thee best show ever. I told TCRG Ma that, and she said, "The kids were on fire." Yes, they all were, just on top of it and into it, and THERE. No rainsticks breaking and b-b's all over the floor (that happened at their 1st run 2 weeks previous, but none of us in the audience could tell). My mother cracked up at the scene held in the Catholic school, Class Act, which was the intended response. Kitchen Jam is also a fun piece, and so full of details,

Reconfigurable parallel architectures use reconfigurability of their interconnection network to establish a communication topology optimized for the problem being solved. Processors can make local connectivity decisions based on their own data, rather than have such all decisions dictated by a centralized controller. For some problems, this powerful capability permits far faster solutions than can be achieved by fixed interconnection systems, such as hypercubes or meshes, or even by PRAMs. Reconfiguration also provides significant fault-tolerance ability.
This book surveys most of the existing and proposed reconfigurable massively parallel systems from around the world. It also analyzes many algorithms and applications, particularly in the area of image processing.

February 26, 2013 15:30 ET
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Feb 26, 2013) - imgZine (pronounced "imagine"), a Dutch app development company, today announced the U.S. launch of its real-time social publishing platform for mobile devices. Ideal for commercial publishers as well as internal and external communication programs for enterprises, imgZine offers a complete customizable app development platform, from concept to launch, including design, content management and app store placement, as well as all the necessary iOS and Android approval processes.
imgZine has spent the last 18 months fine-tuning the product since its launch in the Netherlands in August 2011. During that period, imgZine completed more than 30 apps for commercial publishing companies, large enterprises and the Dutch government. Most recently, imgZine produced a novel publishing app for DNP (De Nieuwe Pers), offering the world's first digital newspaper that enables subscriptions to individual journalists. Earlier this month, imgZine also launched an externally targeted app for RaboBank, one of the largest banks in the Netherlands. This was the third app developed for RaboBank, who have adopted the platform for internal and external communication programs.
"Having spent our first year working with a few early adopters, we now have a fully optimized product and development process. With a proven product and an established European customer base, the timing is right to bring the benefits of our technology to the U.S. market," stated Bert Kok, founder and president of imgZine. "The key to our technology is engagement. Whether you're a publisher providing relevant content to your readers, or you're an enterprise communicating with your internal and external audiences, the content needs to be delivered in an engaging fashion. We have a platform that presents your content in real-time and in an interactive environment, keeping your audiences engaged at all times."
Described as a white label Flipboard or Zite, imgZine's platform requires no extra content creation, IT or design support and offers secure connections into private intranet networks to share sensitive information to employees in real-time. The technology leverages open APIs and web standards to push content in real-time to customized apps on smartphones and tablets running iOS, Android and Windows operating systems. Content channels can also be personalized by the user and are fully integrated with social media platforms.
Publishers in the Netherlands have been amongst the early adopters as the platform offers newspapers and magazines many unique and innovative features to help commercial publishers transitioning into the digital age. As with DNP's novel publishing app, the platform allows readers to subscribe to individual journalists behind a paywall, creating potential new revenue streams for publishers while giving readers more control, selecting the content they want. In addition, publishers can incorporate full-page advertisements, which have significantly higher click-through rates than web-based or banner advertisements.
"While the real-time mobile publishing aspect of the platform shows obvious returns to newspapers and magazines, we believe the real opportunity lies in our ability to facilitate secure, customizable internal and external enterprise communications to engage and educate different communities with exceptional control. Our timing couldn't be better. The self-publishing model is gaining rapid momentum and we're extremely well-positioned with a fast, cost-effective and engaging platform," concluded Kok.
imgZine has partnered with San Francisco-based media agency Impress Labs to facilitate the launch and U.S. sales of the imgZine platform. Both companies will be co-located at 811 Sansome Street, San Francisco, CA 94111. For further information please contact email@example.com or call 415-395-0941.
About imgZine
Founded in 2011, imgZine's founders were inspired by the success of iPad apps like Flipboard, Pulse and Zite. They realized that the publishing industry was undergoing a massive disruption, driven by the convergence of storytelling, advertising and technological innovation. Targeting publishers, enterprise and media agencies, imgZine's platform enables effortless publishing of real-time, dynamic magazines on smartphones and tablets, based on existing content.

Judge Maryann Sumi of Dane County has issued a restraining order blocking the Wisconsin Secretary of State from publishing the union-busting bill rammed through by Republicans.
The complaint, filed by the Dane County district attorney, alleges the GOP lawmakers violated the state's open meetings laws in the run-up to last week's vote.
As discussed here previously, Democrats may not have been given required notice to arrive for the vote. And that seemed to be just fine with Republicans.Click here for reuse options!

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
Look at her smiling. Brazen! She's flirting with you RIGHT NOW.
Before we get started, a cautionary tale.Once there was a girl named Smulieanne Jolinski who had a very Hot Mom. The Hot Mom once went to a fundraising event for a man named Ron Jedwards, who was a candidate for the office of Price Vesident of the Stunited Yates. Ron was married at the time, but asked one of his assistants to get the Hot Mom's name. Smulieanne admits that she was a little incredulous when she first heard this story. And now she's very sorry, because it turns out that Ron was probably stupid enough to hit on a lady while married and running for public office.OK, now that that's out of the way: Let's talk about the juror on the John Edwards case who was allegedly disrupting the trial with her hotness and flirting. GAVEL BANG!
First, there was this nutty ABC News article last week from reporter James Hill...
Note, FEMALE juror. Because if you just wrote 'juror' we'd all go, A MAN? HOW GAY!
...but until today, we had little information about the "female" juror aside from a pastel drawing of the back of her head. For all we knew, she wasn't even conventionally hot. What if James Hill had a thing for fatties or Eastern European jolie-laide types?
I encourage you to read all of James Hill's thoroughly weird piece, but the gist is that… the John Edwards trial was nuts. (OK, with you so far.)… there was a Hot Juror (Hmmmm.)… the Hot Juror was flirting with John Edwards! (Allllllll right, James Hill.)Not to go all "the male gaze!" on you guys, but the whole post sounds like it was written from the viewing end of a creepy telescope.James Hill describes Juror 274 as "an attractive young woman with jet-black hair" (calm down there, Jodi Picoult) and goes on to write in detail of how she Wants It from John Edwards so bad: "The juror clearly instigated the exchanges. She smiles at him. He smiles politely back at her. She giggles. He blushes."Was anybody else seeing this aside from James? Apparently. The Washington Post reported that she was wearing a totally slutty shirt, a "revealing red top with a single strap and an exposed right shoulder." They also corroborated that she "has been spotted smiling at Edwards and flipping her hair in what seems to some to be a flirtatious manner." Flipping her hair!While I can't say that I think it's appropriate to wear a one-shouldered top anywhere but to a 21+ dance club on a remote stretch of interstate with a name like "Shadows III," I also think that perhaps it's equally inappropriate to comment on the relative physical attractiveness of a juror and speculate as to whether she is flirting with the defendant. Maybe it's naive of me to think that this is Creep Journalism and Not Newsworthy, or to have enough faith in humankind and the justice system to suspect that any judge worth his or her salt would not stand for this kind of behavior. Also, a female juror! They're letting women on juries now! I thought it was supposed to be a jury of your peers??? John Edwards is a MAN! It wasn't until after the sorta-verdict was read that we heard from the Hot Alternate Juror herself, a Greensboro denizen named Denise Speight. Denise denies she was flirting with John Edwards, but confessed to smiling and wearing the color red. Talk out of both sides of your mouth much, Denise?Denise says that all of the jurors were giggly and hair flippy because the trial went on for a VERY long time, and well, everybody was a little punchy. Some days, they even agreed to dress alike for fun, choosing a color (like yellow, or -- LAW AND ORDER DUN DUN -- red) or an outfit theme, like -- no joke -- "Fifty Shades of Grey." What in the Pauly Shore heck?She explained to Good Morning America that she's just a naturally friendly person who was trying to keep her fellow jurors' spirits up, and isn't sure how her smiling and wearing colors was misconstrued. Have you ever ridden the subway, Denise? Just having beautiful jet black hair is an open invitation for somebody to masturbate on you. Don't even get me started on what happens when you walk by a construction site wearing a one shouldered top. In red, the color of estrus. The whore shirt also made its GMA debut, when Denise politely held it up for the cameras and explained that she wore it to the trial that day because she had a date. With her husband. Who, NBC News helpfully noted, is "an amateur model." Named Rod. Why flirt with hamburger when you have amateur model Rod steak at home?She also says that she was surprised that she made it past jury selection, because she's a Republican. If only James Hill had known that when he saw her flip her hair and smile and confused her for some kind of common, unmarried, non-Republican skiznank.Rod was understandably upset by the James Hill article, but in James's defense, it is SUPER hard to tell when a woman is "just smiling" and when she is presenting like some kind of rutting justice baboon.
And in a disturbing twist, Smulieanne's mother smiles frequently and often wears colors. She shudders to think what would have happened to the Hot Mom had she smiled at Ron Jedwards, or a passing reporter, because she doesn't want a new dad.

Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found that he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for the six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.
The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.
The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, "I know why."
Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comfortin explanation.
He said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life - like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?" The six-year-old continued, "Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."

This soldier I realized must have had friends at home and in his regiment; yet he lay there deserted by all except his dog. I looked on unmoved, at battles which decided the future of nations. Tearless, I had given orders which brought death to thousands. Yet here I was stirred to tears. And to what? By the grief of one dog.
- Napoleon Bonaparte, on finding a dog beside the body of his dead master, licking his face and howling; on a moonlit field after a battle. Napoleon was haunted by this scene until his own death.
An Insomniac's Best Friend (from the NY Times)
Chief was my insomnia buddy. As far as late-night companions go, you could do worse than a dog. We humans fill the sleepless void with mental anguish, constructing indexes of recriminations and future-forward panic. Dogs, anchored in the present, know no such travail. The sum total of their fixations are food, belly rubs, and alerting to possible intruders. Chief and I, the worrier and the worry-free, formed a yin and yang of preoccupation. We were perfect partners.
Ever anxious in my sleeplessness, I cherished the uplift that came from the familiar circle, circle, plonk of my 100-pound, unusually tall yellow Lab, throwing himself onto the checkerboard rug by my side. Devoted in the extreme, he was so determined to be near me that someone once exclaimed, "He'd crawl into the corner of your eye if he could." I'd put aside my cares for a moment and pick up one of his great webbed paws, sniff the tough, street-blackened pads and exclaim, "Your feet smell like Fritos!" I'd tickle the divot of his belly button, or rub his velvety cutlet ears. He'd shift positions, leaving behind an aureole of hair so thick it looked as if all his follicles had sneezed at once.
On New Year's Day 2009, Chief started to cough. His normal deep breathing became a rapid pant. A trip to the animal emergency room yielded a chest X-ray so cloudy, the vet couldn't see the dog's heart. "I think it's fluid," she said. "I can't help him here. There's a hospital in Yonkers where they can treat him. If I were you, I wouldn't wait." We raced him 90 minutes down the Taconic Parkway, where they drained two liters of fluid from his chest and performed a biopsy.
Our poor Chief was a statistical rarity — one of the 4 percent of dogs each year who develop lung cancer. The tumor was the size of a cantalope. We did our research: after cancer surgery, the average canine life expectancy is nine months. Chief was only seven years old, and otherwise healthy — nay, robust. We opted for the surgery. It was expensive, but for once in my writer's life, I was flush. It would be worth it. It would be worth it if he had a long and otherwise healthy life.
While the dog was in the veterinary I.C.U., yoked to tubes and beeping machines, I scarcely slept a wink. Rather than thumbing through a varied index of anxieties, I was focused on one specific dog-shaped worry. I lay on my back next to my husband, tears leaking from my eyes to collect in my ears.
"I miss him," my husband whispered into the dark.
"Me, too."
Four days later, we brought him home from the Yonkers animal hospital, a Fentanyl-doped Frankendog with a row of glimmering staples down his side. He healed quickly, was given a hopeful prognosis, and returned to his normal, uncomplicated life. He swam in the Hudson River, and he chased deer through the woods. He kept me company each night. It was a very good summer. We opted for six rounds of monthly chemotherapy, hoping to improve his odds. He trotted happily from each session, unfazed. I never thought about the money. Between the surgery and the chemo, my husband and I laid out close to $15,000. What I didn't know — couldn't have known — was that we were whistling past the graveyard, writing checks as we went.
Nine months to the day after his surgery, we noticed Chief once again straining to breathe. We thought in vain that it might be kennel cough but an X-ray exposed our delusion. The cancer was back, his lungs percolating with fluid. Our beloved, handsome dog was drowning from the inside out.
We had no more money, no more options. No more time. In the vet's office, an assistant led us to a stark room. I leaned on the stainless steel exam table and signed away my dog's fading life. I checked a box, declining the chance to take home Chief's ashes — too costly, too sad. The staff wanted to be assured I was lucid in my cloud of grief. "So, group cremation?" they asked over and over. Ashes to ashes, dogs into dust.
Under sedation, Chief wobbled and drooled, stumbling as his vision blurred. My husband, who in battle had seen the light dim in too many people's eyes, sat sobbing and despondent. I loved him more for that. The dog, in drugged stupor, looped around, jumped up on my husband, paws on his lap and licked the tears from his face. Around and over again.
A second shot of sedative brought Chief to the floor at last. I knelt beside him and stroked those velvety ears. When the young vet took up a syringe of opaque pink fluid, I whispered into the dog's forehead. "God will take care of you." Within seconds of the plunger easing down, he was gone, and the room went perfectly still. My loyal insomnia buddy had met his final rest. After a few minutes, the assistant asked, "Would you like a paw print to take with you?" At first I thought it morbid, then I knew it would be all I'd have left. I nodded. She disappeared in search of the inkpad, leaving me alone to weep over my dog's sweet face, kissing his still-warm muzzle.
That first night without Chief, I found myself straining to hear him coming up the stairs, his arrival heralded by toenails on the hardwood, followed by the crash of the spare bedroom door opening as he strolled in to take his place on the rug. Circle, circle, plonk. But throughout the house, no sound, just the branches groaning in the wind and the aggressive plink of wind chimes outside the window. I was alone. Chief was gone for good.
Now, months later, I'm awake and alone yet again, and, as in years past, worried about money. I pass the infernal deep blue hours haunted by memories of my dog, haunted by regret. When I ask myself, "Was it worth it?" and come up short, I then ask, is it so bad that my wildest indulgence was trying to keep someone I adored alive and happy just that much longer?
Samuel Butler once wrote: "The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself, too." We owners fling cash like idiots for no other reason than we are crazy about our pets, and because they, in their blasted, heartbreaking, loving ways, are crazy for us.
In the absence of belly scrubs to distract me, or floppy ears to beguile me, I console myself at night with that thought — man and dog can be fools for each other, and folly knows no higher calling than to be a fool for love. It's what I have left, along with the memory of a gentle, galumphing companion, and an ink print on the refrigerator in the place of paw treads on the stairs.

Here in this house......
I will never know the loneliness I hear in the barks of the other dogs 'out there'.
I can sleep soundly, assured that when I wake my world will not have changed.
I will never know hunger, or the fear of not knowing if I'll eat.
I will not shiver in the cold, or grow weary from the heat.
I will feel the sun's heat, and the rain's coolness,
and be allowed to smell all that can reach my nose.
My fur will shine, and never be dirty or matted.
Here in this house...
There will be an effort to communicate with me on my level.
I will be talked to and, even if I don't understand,
I can enjoy the warmth of the words.
I will be given a name so that I may know who I am among many.
My name will be used in joy, and I will love the sound of it!
Here in this house...
I will never be a substitute for anything I am not.
I will never be used to improve peoples' images of themselves.
I will be loved because I am who I am, not someone's idea of who I should be.
I will never suffer for someone's anger, impatience, or stupidity.
I will be taught all the things I need to know to be loved by all.
If I do not learn my lessons well, they will look to my teacher for blame.
Here in this house...
I can trust arms that hold, hands that touch...
knowing that, no matter what they do, they do it for the good of me.
If I am ill, I will be doctored.
If scared, I will be calmed.
If sad, I will be cheered.
No matter what I look like, I will be considered beautiful and thought to be of value.
I will never be cast out because I am too old, too ill, too unruly, or not cute enough.
My life is a responsibility, and not an afterthought.
I will learn that humans can almost, sometimes, be as kind and as fair as dogs.
Here in this house...
I will belong.
I will be home.
Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her.
I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid. As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today. Sometimes the overworked shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them.
As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life.
She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well.
Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms.
I would promise to keep her safe.
I would promise to always be by her side.
I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes.
I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one.
I rescued a human today.

In offhand, birdsong passing, Marguerite Young observes: "As for the nineteenth century, it may be said that it was probably the leakiest century there ever was and so would remain." By leaky perhaps she means wounded. Still, why the nineteenth and not, say, the fifteenth century? Weren't there also lots of holes in the twelfth? Or maybe she means wordy, rhetorical, inflated, gaseous–like grand opera, Romantic poetry, psychoanalysis and such blimps of ink as Kapital, Les Misérables, Moby-Dick or Darwin. But Young won't pause to parse. She's as flighty as her "long-limbed seraphim." She has been describing Mark Twain's sojourn on the Great Salt Lake with Brigham Young. (Yes, Marguerite and Brigham were distantly related; Moroni is one of her angels.) She is about to visit the Mormon mikado's thick-walled compound, Lion House, with its schoolroom, weaving chamber, soap shed, buttery, twenty-nine wives and 110 children. She will presently explain the Golden Bee Hive and then, having digressed to tell us exactly how Marx felt about the Manchester Mormons who used to blow their noisy trumpets through the window of his buddy Engels, lightfoot on to note that in 1844, the same year Joseph Smith was lynched, Marx and Engels published Dialectical Materialism, which would have been at least coincidental, if not interesting, had they ever written any such thing, which they didn't.
Harp Song for a Radical–reverie, breviary, apostrophe, incantation, dirge–may be the leakiest book I've ever reviewed. Like an Old Norse burial mound, it is full of the bones of bygone utopians (Robert Owen, Etienne Cabet, Father Rapp). Like a Buddhist stupa, it honors left-wing secular saints (John Brown, Susan B. Anthony, Mother Jones, Haymarket martyrs, Molly Maguires). Like a Toltec stele, it speaks to savage gods (oil, steel, Gould, Pullman). Like an addendum to Dos Passos, it snapshoots oddballs and wild cards (Pinkerton and his spies, Gatling and his gun, Emma Lazarus, Jesse James, Whistler's mother). If a surprising number of pages contemplate Heinrich Heine, the German poet with "cataracts like snowflakes blotting out the vision in his eyes," many more are lavished on James Whitcomb Riley, the Hoosier poet Young had intended to write a biography of till she got sidetracked for twenty-eight years.
What it isn't, really, is a biography of Debs, whom she calls "the Garrison and Wendell Phillips of the day's abolitionists, the Charles Martel of wage slavery, the St. John crying in the wilderness, the preacher of the gospel of labor…a Wilberforce and Kossuth and a Mazzini and a Chrysostom compounded." And not only because Harp Song stops short, before the 1894 Pullman strike, which almost destroyed Debs's union, after which he would live another thirty-two years, found the American Socialist Party, run five times for President and lose the soul of organized labor to Samuel Gompers. (Young apparently intended three volumes, and by the time of her death in 1995 had completed more than twice as much manuscript as Knopf chooses to publish. There is, of course, a Web site devoted to these matters: faculty.washington.edu/connieei/youngweb.htm.) It also scants his early, serial suspicion of and opposition to boycotts, strikes, industrial unionism and insurrectionary violence. And it is disdainful of the ideology and party politics of anything that smacks of "scientific socialism." It comes out instead for moonbeams. As in her Angel in the Forest: A Fairy Tale of Two Utopias (1945), the heart of the poet (Prismatic Ground) and novelist (Miss MacIntosh, My Darling) belongs to those dreamers for whom the New World was the "millennial continent." More than history, Harp Song is theology and romance.

Federal Judge Agrees to Review Age Restrictions on Morning-After Pill
Let's update that federal court hearing on the age restrictions of the morning-after pill. Judge Edward Korman heard arguments yesterday, and while he did not take action against the FDA, he did move the case forward:
A federal judge Tuesday rejected a request to hold the Food and Drug Administration in contempt of court over its policy on the emergency contraceptive Plan B but said he would consider reviewing the government's refusal to make it easier for girls and women to get the drug.
U.S. District Judge Edward R. Korman in Brooklyn agreed with the government that the request to hold the FDA in contempt was "moot" because the agency had reviewed a petition by family planning groups to make Plan B available without a prescription and had concluded Monday that there was insufficient evidence to do so.
But Korman said he was willing to hear arguments over whether the agency should have allowed the sale of the morning-after pill to girls younger than 17 without a prescription, and he instructed advocacy groups to file the appropriate legal motions. Korman specifically suggested adding Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to the lawsuit.
The Center for Reproductive Rights, which is leading the court challenge, said it would comply with the judge's request.
This is the culmination of a ten-year lawsuit, which only coincidentally lined up with the HHS ruling on Plan B last week. The Center for Reproductive Rights has tried to make the morning-after pill available to teenage women without a prescription for a long time now. Korman already ordered the FDA to lower the age requirement to 17 back in 2009. And he said at the time that the FDA made "arbitrary and capricious" decisions to restrict the sale of Plan B, influenced by "political and ideological" concerns. I don't know how you can look at the recent ruling, which was made not by FDA researchers or scientists but a political appointee, and not think the same thing.
Importantly, this hearing involves the two-pill Plan B, not Plan B One-Step, the one-pill drug that HHS ruled on last week. FDA defends their position on restricting the age of the two-pill drug cocktail, as separate from Plan B One-Step. The Center for Reproductive Rights wants all contraceptive choices made available to women of all ages.
The case is likely to drag on for some time.

A geriatric nurse specializes in caring for aging and elderly adults, according to Nurse Without Borders and ExploreHealthCareers.org. Various duties of a geriatric nurse include helping patients with self-care tasks such as bathing and dressing, administering medications, measuring and recording vital signs, helping patients exercise, and educating patients about taking care of their health and well-being.Continue Reading
Elder care is a varied field, and the specific duties of a geriatric nurse can depend on where the nurse works. Geriatric nurses are employed by hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living facilities, according to ExploreHealthCareers.org. Some also go to patients' homes and care for them there. Often, geriatric nurses act as liaisons, helping their patients' families and caregivers understand the patients' health issues and needs.
Because nursing is a field that requires much interaction with others, geriatric nurses should have strong interpersonal skills. They need to be attentive and empathetic in order to effectively care for and reassure their patients, who may be discouraged, sad or angry about their declining health, says Nurse Without Borders. Geriatric nurses should have cheerful demeanors, to help their patients stay in a positive frame of mind about their own health. They should also be emotionally resilient enough to cope with upsetting events such as the death of a patient.Learn more about Careers

Don't Deliver Us from Evil (1971)
Mais ne nous délivrez pas du mal
... "Don't Deliver Us From Evil" suffers a little from its own controversial reputation, as it has got a lot more to offer than just graphic shocks and gratuitous nudity. The film poster proudly announces, in letters that are far bigger than the title itself, that this is the only French film to be banned in France. It's a nice promotion stunt, but it only forces potential viewers to anticipate a non-stop sleazy and exploitative smut flick, whereas Joël Séria's film is primarily a beautifully dark and almost poetic depiction of how adolescents of high social descent deal with boredom and sexual curiosity. The script may be loosely inspired by the real-life Parker-Hulme murder case (the same case Peter Jackson used for his "Heavenly Creatures") but I strongly believe Séria also used the opportunity to criticize the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church as well as the unfair French social classification system. During the long & boring nights at the boarding school, 14-year-old Anne becomes interested in salacious literature and she quickly convinces her friend Lore to join her into exploring the exact opposite of all the Catholic mumbo-jumbo that is forced upon them by the nuns and their deeply religious parents. It all starts with naughty, yet harmless games and the discovery of their own bodies & sexuality, but the situation escalates into something genuinely malice. When summer vacation begins, and the girls spend two months away from authority, they perform a ritual to become accepted as disciples of Satan and cross the line for good. Their innocent games are gradually replaced with the the dangerous seduction of mentally unstable men, vicious rites of animal cruelty, arson and eventually murder. (IMDB Coventry)

Before the Christmas holiday, rumors of Apple's overtures to the networks abounded like so many visions of sugar plums. Journalists and bloggers posited about the effect of Apple's entrance into the subscription television market. Most of the analysis was solid. The Seeking Alpha blog featured this succinct write up. Most expect a successful Apple offering would threaten cable and satellite subscription models. Others note that an invigorated Apple TV could put the pinch on the Netflix Roku service. Light Reading's Cable Digital News noted the following.
While cable operators likely won't face an immediate threat from the subscription service Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) is purportedly pitching to major content suppliers, the offering may instead put the hurt on over-the-top video service providers like Boxee and Roku Inc.
It should be noted that Apple TV employs a hard disk. Content is downloaded before it's played. Roku receives streams, so it's a lower cost, lower footprint device. Most importantly streaming allows more delivery flexibility. Netflix doesn't care whether I watch my content on a PC or a TV. Apple TV is anchored to a television. While an iTunes account can be managed from multiple devices, content needs to be downloaded to each to play it. Even with improved progressive download performance, this model has its limitations. One blog noted that a full season of an HD network television series can take up to 50 GB of hard disk space. So there's a limit to how much content can be delivered to an Apple TV.
For Apple to leverage the strong iTunes brand it has to unhitch content from the device – a fundamental change in business model for a device manufacturer. But if any company has shown the ability to adapt to the digital media marketplace of the early 21st century, it's Apple. If Apple succeeds at getting content deals in place, I expect a next-generation Apple TV to emerge shortly thereafter.

Dear friends,
Many of you would have heard of the several controversies around Dr Kailash C Bansal, a GM crop developer who then went on to be appointed as the Director of National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources. Two days ago, Mail Today (an India Today publication) reported about how Dr Bansal made false claim about one of the patent application (relating to insertion of a foreign gene in brinjal chloroplast) and how a prestigious award was given to him on such claims.
There are some irregularities reported in his appointment too, with another GM crop developer, an ICAR DDG Dr Swapan Datta, not acting on complaints against Dr Bansal.
Insiders also point out to some break away from regular guidelines within NBPGR since he took over, which could be termed as risky to the germplasm collections as well as favoring of the industry, though we are not able to provide more concrete details about this at this point of time.
Pasted below is a letter that we would be sending from ASHA to the Union Agriculture Minister, demanding for Dr Bansal's removal from his post. WE WOULD LIKE TO SEND THIS ALONG WITH OTHER ORGANISATIONS/UNIONS JOINING US IN THIS DEMAND, AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ENDORSE, KINDLY WRITE BACK TO ME (firstname.lastname@example.com) with full name and organisation by the evening of November 2nd, Friday. Please do send a letter directly to the agriculture minister if you get to see this mail and would like to endorse after that. Thank you.
Mr Sharad Pawar,
Minister for Agriculture,
Government of India.
Dear Shri Sharad Pawar,
Sub: Demanding removal of Dr K C Bansal from the post of NBPGR Director, apropos media reports on false patent claims by Dr Bansal, based on RTI responses
There have been several media reports, apart from internal correspondence within DARE about the infractions of Dr K C Bansal, appointed to head a prestigious and important institution in DARE in India, the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources. The latest is a report in Mail Today on October 29th 2012, titled "Top GM Researcher Falsified Patent Claim to Grab National Award" (available online at http://indiatoday.intoday.in/
Based on previous RTI responses and its own investigations, the report clearly points out how Dr Bansal made false claims about filing three patent applications for novel gene discovery including one on transgenic brinjal and was given the prestigious Rafi Ahmed Kidwai Award in July 2009 based on such fictitious claims. This is outright scientific fraud and if a senior technocrat can make such false claims, how is the invaluable germplasm collection of this country being entrusted into his hands and leadership in NBPGR?
There are also reports about how the recruitment of Dr Bansal was done in violation of several guidelines that are in place for ASRB recruitments – this pertains to his Confidential Reports from 2004 to 2010 which were not handed over, despite these being essential for his promotion/selection to higher posts, in addition to questions on the selection panel apparently constituted twice over to ensure his selection.
What qualifies him to head an institution which is supposed to collect and protect germplasm wealth for the country?
There is also the unanswered letter from Dr P Anandakumar, (then superior officer of Dr Bansal and head of National Research Centre on Plant Biotechnology (NRCPB)) on the fact that Dr Bansal did not hand over his research materials to NRCPB and the work on eight claimed GM events in tomato, mustard, wheat etc. This puts a big question mark on crores of rupees spent in the GM research work that he is supposed to have been involved in, and further puts a question mark on the ICAR transgenic research programme involving 20 institutes all over the country (with the budget exceeding 135 crore rupees).
We are attaching RTI replies as evidence to the allegations against Dr Bansal.
Just as the ICAR set up a 3-member committee headed by Prof Sopory for an independent investigation into the Bt Bikaneri Narma scandal, why is a similar action not being taken in the case of these allegations? Why is the extra favour being bestowed on Dr Bansal, if not as a payback for his extra support to GM technology, and hobnobbing with MNCs and industry associations?
We demand an immediate removal of Dr Bansal from his post for the falsification of claims on patent applications given that this is clearly unscientific and unethical. We also demand an independent investigation into all the other allegations against him urgently.

Mob it up – The new Mob Museum in Vegas
Are you ready to bring out your inner gangster? Three floors of gangster, that is.
Whether you're intrigued with the bad boys like Bugsy Siegel and Al Capone or the heroes (FBI investigators and other law enforcement agencies), you're going to love The Mob Musuem in Downtown.
I wasn't really too familiar with the mob, although "A Bronx Tale" was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Whether we like to admit it or not, this part of history is intriguing, indeed.
While "A Bronx Tale" was a fictional story, it was fun to see the mob life through the eyes of an adolescent. In a way, walking through this museum was like witnessing all the dirty deeds without worrying about taking a bullet.
"The story of the mob is a story of America," said curator Kathleen Barrie. "Through the interpretive program of the Mob Museum, visitors understand where the connections are, how organized crime, mob activity, and law enforcement ran parallel and then collided at certain points. It is a fascinating story that plays out through the museum experience."
The experience begins with an elevator trip to the third floor, then flows down to the lower floors. The third floor re-creates a police department environment of the 1950s. You can even walk inside a police lineup booth. I personally liked all the emphasis on the law enforcement — the good guys! Mob busters include J. Edgar Hoover, Joe Pistone, Rudolph "Rudy" Giuliani, among others.
Don't miss the second floor's historic courtroom where the Kefauver hearings took place. You can take a seat on one of the benches and watch a video explaining the history about it.
Also on the second floor, you can listen in on actual wire taps, as well as read the steps on what it takes to be in the witness protection program.
There's also a section that talks about other organized systems, including Yakuza, the Japanese crime lords.
Like to shoot? Here you can take your shot with a simulated Tommy gun. There's even a section where it shows you how to become a "made" man.
There are some pieces at this museum that are sure to make your skin crawl. You'll witness the electric chair where one of the mobsters got executed. You'll also see the actual barber shop chair where another mobster was murdered.
The Vegas room is a lot of fun — you get to watch surveillance tapes of actual people cheating the tables. There's also a room that explains what goes into the process of a "skim."
The bottom floor features a Hollywood room, as well as an area where you can kick back and watch clips of Mafia-related movies. What a way to end your tour!
The Mob Museum is from the same folks who designed the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland and the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. Even if you're not a history buff, you'll still enjoy yourself. There's just so many interactive stations to look through, that I plan on making a second trip back myself.

There are a few types of Javascript operators.
- Assignment
- Comparison
- Arithmetic
- Bitwise
- Logical
- String
The commonly used operators are assignment, comparison, arithmetic and string operators.
The standard arithmetic operators are addition (+), subtraction (–), multiplication (*), and division (/).
In an earlier example, we have made use of + operator which is an arithmetic operator.
Comparison Operators
|Equal (==)
|Returns true if the operands are equal.
|Not equal (!=)
|Returns true if the operands are not equal.
|Greater than (>)
|Returns true if the left operand is greater than the right operand.
|Greater than or equal (>=)
|Returns true if the left operand is greater than or equal to the right operand.
|Less than (<)
|Returns true if the left operand is less than the right operand.
|Less than or equal (<=)
|Returns true if the left operand is less than or equal to the right operand.
String Operators
The string operator can be used on string values.
The concatenation operator (+) concatenates two string values together, returning another string that is the union of the two operand strings.
For example, "my " + "string" returns the string "my string".
<!DOCTYPE html>   <title>String Operator +</title>
String 1

String 2

String 1 + String 2

 <button onclick="strFunction()">Click Me</button>
Notice that in the result string, we have used
var z = x + " " + y;
Adding " " will add a space in between the 2 strings.
