Beryl Fowlie passed away January 28, 2013 in Monterey, California surrounded by her family after a brief battle with cancer. She was 83 years old.
Beryl Bernice French was born in Detroit, Michigan on February 13, 1929 to Herbert Fredrick French and Dorothy May French. Known as "BB" to her family and close friends, she, along with her brother Wayne, grew up in the Detroit area during the Great Depression. They visited their grandparents in Canada often and even moved there for a brief time during the depths of the Depression. She also witnessed the spectacular Dresden Meteorite Fall while spending a warm summer evening in the yard with her family, an event she often recounted.
After graduating from high school, she received a degree from the Henry Ford Hospital School of Nursing. Although she had known her husband since childhood, it was while a nurse there that she fell for her future husband, Dr. Jack A. Fowlie. They married in 1955 and immediately decamped to Hawaii where her husband was stationed in the Navy. They returned to California in 1958 making their home in the foothills of La Canada where she would spend the rest of her life.
She loved to travel and she and Jack would trample through the ancient ruins of CentralAmerica, Peru and Southern Europe on various trips. Family camping trips to Baja and the Western US were made all the better by her fantastic meals and adventurous spirit. Later in life she traveled with friends to all seven continents, including Antarctica on a Dennis Prager cruise. But the place she liked best was right here in La Canada. Driving to her home high in the foothills, she would often say how much she loved these mountains and couldn't imagine
living anywhere else.
She went on to receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Health from Cal State Northridge and worked as neonatal intensive care nurse and public school nurse with the LAUSD. She was a member of the La Canada Presbyterian Church for 54 years, and a member various clubs including Las Rigde-Adas. She volunteered at local hospitals and assisted with the La Canada Rose Parade float a number of times.
She leaves behind her son Jack, daughter Karen, son-in-law Ron and two wonderful grandchildren, Bethany and Cassandra.
Aprivate service is pending and the family requests any donations be made to the American Cancer Society.

SEATTLE -- A passenger was kicked off an Alaska Airlines flight at Sea-Tac Airport Sunday after allegedly cat calling a flight attendant during the safety briefing.
Amber Nelson, a passenger seated in front of the man, wrote about it on her Facebook page. She said as the flight attendant was demonstrating how to use the life vest, the man said, "ooh, baby."
He was seated in a middle seat with a woman sitting on either side of him, according to Nelson, and three women seated in front of him.
Nelson says she exchanged uncomfortable glances with two other women in her row.
"Every woman I know has been through this kind of degrading experience. We were trapped on a plane with a guy who clearly disrespected women and saw us as his own personal entertainment," said Nelson.
The flight attendant removed the vest, went up to the man and said, "You need to be respectful," according to Nelson. As the flight attendant returned to her duties, the man allegedly said "C'mon, I'm just playing with you!"
Nelson said all the flight attendants stopped the safety briefing and convened in the front of the cabin. A few minutes later, another airline employee came on board to escort the man off the plane.
"I didn't do anything wrong! I didn't do anything wrong!" the man said, according to Nelson, before gathering his belongings and leaving.
"I felt honored as a patron of the airline - and as a woman - because Alaska Airlines supported their staff and those of us on board who were demeaned by another passenger's juvenile and exceedingly disrespectful behavior. Thank you for taking this seriously," wrote Nelson.
Business Insider reports Alaska Airlines confirmed the story.

DEAR ABBY: I'm a 40-year-old woman, diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder after two suicide attempts. I have tried to get my parents and siblings to attend a session with me so they would understand my diagnosis, but all I hear is, "You don't need all those drugs. You're fine -- just a little different than the rest of us," and, "You have always been 'odd' and we like you that way."
I have given up trying to get their support, but my gifted 14-year-old nephew has been asking questions about my diagnosis. I'm not sure how much to tell him, especially about the suicide attempts, one of which landed me in the hospital.
Any advice about what I should tell him and how to get family support? -- HEARING VOICES IN ILLINOIS
DEAR HEARING VOICES: Tell your nephew the truth. If he is as intellectually gifted as you say, he will go online and start researching. Explain that your condition can be overwhelming at times, which caused you at one point to try to harm yourself, but that it is kept in check with medication.
Your relatives may be reluctant to admit that there is a mental illness in the family, which is why they refuse to allow your psychiatrist to confirm it. However, you may be able to find support from NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness. With 1,200 affiliates, NAMI provides grassroots, self-help groups for people with mental illness and family members who are affected by it.
The website is www.nami.org and I hope you will check it out. The organization was established in 1979, and it may be able to help you get through to your family that your problems are not imaginary.
DEAR ABBY: I host a lot of gatherings at my home and sometimes when I am on vacation. I put a lot of thought and effort into them. Some are themed parties, such as Valentine's Day or a luau.
Do you think it's rude for guests to show up 10 or more minutes early? I enjoy hosting, but I need the last few minutes before party time for me, so I can get dressed, light candles, put out the food or just plain relax for a few minutes. Your thoughts, please. -- WONDERING IN WESLEY CHAPEL, FLA.
DEAR WONDERING: I agree with you. Guests with good manners show up at the appointed time. While arriving 15 minutes late is acceptable, to arrive early is an imposition on one's host.
DEAR ABBY: My young married daughter, "Megan," has a problem with a neighbor. This woman has a family of her own, but is in Megan's business so much she is now actually taking my grandbaby out to eat at restaurants and seems to want people to think the baby is hers.
I have spoken to Megan about this. She doesn't like what is going on, but feels powerless to stop it. This neighbor does a lot for my daughter, and Megan doesn't want to hurt her feelings. What can she say that will put this woman in her place and make her realize that my daughter's family is not up for grabs? -- OHIO MOM
DEAR MOM: Megan is not "powerless." As the mother of that child, all she has to do is start saying no. If the neighbor asks for an explanation, she should reply that what's going on is making her uncomfortable. Period. There is no need to be unkind about it -- just firm.
For everything you need to know about wedding planning, order "How to Have a Lovely Wedding." Send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby, Wedding Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.

5 to 7 cloves garlic, peeled, plus 2 cloves garlic, one sliced, one minced
Enough olive oil to cover the bottom of a wide saute pan
4 big handfuls greens (baby mustard, turnip, chard), picked and roughly shredded
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Place saute pan over medium heat and then lightly crush 5 to 6 garlic cloves. When the pan is hot, add just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan and add the garlic. Cook, stirring frequently until golden brown (3 to 5 minutes). Remove from the oil. At this point, the greens can be quickly Sauteed for a mild garlic flavor.
If you're looking for something a little stronger, thinly sliver 1 clove and add it to the pan stirring constantly (burned garlic is not Good Eats, nor is anything that touches it). Once the slivers turn golden, add the greens and toss to coat with the hot oil. Season with salt and pepper as soon as the greens start to wilt and plate immediately.
If you're looking for even more garlic flavor, finely mince a clove of garlic and toss it into the greens during the last 30 seconds of cooking and toss the greens to distribute. Keep the pan and the greens moving constantly, if you can.
Serve as a side dish or toss with pasta and serve as a main course.

Coalition forces detained 11 suspected terrorists during operations targeting al Qaeda in Iraq operations in the Baghdad area today.
In operations yesterday, Multinational Division Baghdad soldiers seized a bomb-making factory, along with another large weapons cache while on patrol in the eastern portion of the Rashid district of the Iraqi capital. Troops from Company A, 2nd Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment, and Company A, 1st Battalion, 38th Infantry Regiment, discovered the factory, a complex of small buildings deep in the thick palm groves of East Rashid. The find consisted of one vehicle wired and loaded with explosives, 54 82 mm mortars, 27 155 mm artillery shells, one 500-pound bomb, 64 anti-tank mines, two 200-pound bombs, three 100-pound bombs, 30 130 mm projectiles, 30 hand grenades, 200 artillery boosters, 10 40 mm rounds, 300 5-gallon cans of nitric acid used in homemade explosives, and 1,500 anti-personnel mines. Troops also found enough wiring and bomb-making material to create more than 300 improvised explosive devices. In a separate cache found near the complex, an additional 125 5-gallon containers of nitric acid were found. Three other vehicles were found wired as car bombs, but did not contain explosives. Elsewhere in Iraq, Multinational Division Baghdad soldiers, in cooperation with Iraqi security forces, conducted a raid in the western Baghdad neighborhood of Hateen on June 10, uncovering a cache of bomb-making materials and capturing a terrorist suspect believed to be linked to al Qaeda in Iraq. Soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 32nd Field Artillery Regiment, attached to 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, caught the alleged al Qaeda member and found about 500 boxes of toilet bowl cleaner and 20 boxes of circuit breaker covers, which can be used to build improvised chemical weapons. In other Iraq operations, an insurgent detonated himself in a suicide car bomb near the Iraqi highway patrol headquarters east of Tikrit on June 10. Fourteen Iraqi policemen were killed in the attack. In addition, Iraqi army and coalition force soldiers fired at and used attack helicopters to repel insurgents firing from inside the Al Hussiniyah mosque in Old Baquba on June 9. (Compiled from Multinational Corps Iraq news releases.)

Bay of Bengal, large but relatively shallow embayment of the northeastern Indian Ocean, occupying an area of about 839,000 square miles (2,173,000 square km). It lies roughly between latitudes 5° and 22° N and longitudes 80° and 90° E. It is bordered by Sri Lanka and India to the west, Bangladesh to the north, and Myanmar (Burma) and the northern part of the Malay Peninsula to the east. According to the definition of the International Hydrographic Bureau, the southern boundary extends from Dondra Head at the southern end of Sri Lanka in the west to the northern tip of the Indonesian island of Sumatra in the east. The bay is about 1,000 miles (1,600 km) wide, with an average depth of more than 8,500 feet (2,600 metres). The maximum depth is 15,400 feet (4,694 metres). A number of large rivers—the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri (Cauvery) on the west and the Ganges (Ganga) and Brahmaputra on the north—flow into the Bay of Bengal. The Andaman and Nicobar groups, which are the only islands, separate the bay from the Andaman Sea.
Physical features
The Bay of Bengal is bordered to the north by a wide continental shelf that narrows to the south and by slopes of varying gradient on the northwest, north, and northeast, all cut by canyons from the rivers. Most important are the Ganges-Brahmaputra, Andhra, Mahadevan, Krishna, and Godavari canyons. These were former estuaries when the shoreline was at the margin of the continental shelf during the Pleistocene Epoch (about 2,600,000 to 11,700 years ago). The deep floor of the bay is occupied by a vast abyssal (deep-sea) plain that slopes to the south. The main submarine features include the beginning of the long, seismically active Java Trench near the Nicobar-Sumatra mainland and of the aseismic Ninetyeast Ridge. The fan of sediments of the Ganges River is the widest—5 to 7 miles (8 to 11 km)—and thickest in the world. The bay itself was formed as the Indian subcontinent collided with Asia within roughly the past 50 million years.
The climate of the Bay of Bengal is dominated by the monsoons. From November through April a continental high-pressure system north of the bay produces northeast winds (the northeast monsoon) characteristic of the winter season. During the northern summer (June–September) the rain-bearing southwest monsoon prevails, as intense heat produces a low-pressure system over the continent and a subsequent air flow from the ocean.
Cyclones—intense tropical storms of high winds and torrential rains—occur in spring (April–May) and fall (October–November); these are the weeks preceeding the onset of monsoon rains and the weeks following their retreat. A cyclone in November 1970 in the Ganges River delta resulted in the deaths of an enormous number of people and livestock. A storm of comparable magnitude in April 1991 devastated the eastern shore of Bangladesh, and another powerful cyclone devastated the coastal Indian state of Orissa in October 1999. Water spouts occur frequently in the bay during the summer months.
A unique feature of the bay is the extreme variability of its physical properties. Temperature in the offshore areas, however, is warm and markedly uniform at all seasons, decreasing somewhat toward the north. Surface densities are considerably greater in spring than in fall, when river discharge is highest. Surface salinity, normally measuring 33 to 34 parts per thousand, can fall to nearly half that level and can extend well south of the bay during the fall. Below the surface layer is an oxygen-poor intermediate layer that has high salinity and undergoes only weak circulation. Weak upwelling occurs in the northeast during the northeast monsoon. The sea presents alternately slick and ruffled surfaces over shallow internal waves all along the east-coast shelf. Surface movements of the waters change direction with the season, the northeast monsoon giving them a clockwise circulation, the southeast monsoon a counterclockwise circulation. Severe storms occur at the change of monsoon, particularly to the south in October.
In addition to water-level changes resulting from waves and tide, the average sea level varies throughout the year. Because rainfall and riverine input exceed evaporation, the bay exhibits a net water gain annually. The bay is also subject to occasional tsunamis; one such event, caused by an undersea earthquake near the Indonesian island of Sumatra in December 2004, devastated extensive coastal areas of the bay, particularly in Sri Lanka and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Bottom deposits
Sediments in the Bay of Bengal are dominated by terrigenous deposits from the rivers, derived mainly from the Indian subcontinent and from the Himalayas. Calcareous clays and oozes are found near the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and atop the Ninetyeast Ridge. The amount of organic matter present in the continental-shelf sediment of the northern part of the east coast is poor compared with the world's average for nearshore sediments.
Economic aspects
Resource exploitation
The Bay of Bengal has a distinct tropical marine ecosystem, and copious river drainage into the northern part of the bay and the profusion of wetlands, marshes, and mangroves increase productivity of nearshore fish species. The exploitation of these resources is carried out by small-scale fisheries; commercial fishing in deeper waters is done largely by countries bordering the bay and by Japan. The annual catch of prawns, the major export crop, has remained stable despite intensified harvesting. Several species of tuna found in the bay also are important. The tuna fishery is confined to the true oceanic sector of the bay, south of latitude 15°N, since fresh water runoff from the large rivers greatly influences the nearshore waters.
Petroleum and natural-gas discoveries have been made in the Bay of Bengal, notably offshore of the Godavari and Manandi deltas. The bay has a geologic setting similar to that of the Indus River basin and the western margin of the Indian Peninsula. Hydrocarbon resources in the Bay of Bengal generally are located in deep areas, as compared to those in the Arabian Sea. There are placer deposits of titanium off northeastern Sri Lanka and rare earths off northeastern India. Heavy mineral sands occur around Nagapatnam (in Tamil Nadu state) on the southeastern Indian coast, near Chennai (Madras), and in coastal areas around Vishakhapatnam. They consist of ilmenite, garnet, sillimanite, zircon, rutile, and manganite.
The principal trade routes for large tankers en route from the Persian Gulf to the Strait of Malacca pass south of the Bay of Bengal. Hence, oceanic transportation is limited to carriage of cargoes to and from Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and the east coast of India. Principal ports in India are Kolkata (Calcutta), Haldia, Vishakhapatnam, Chennai, Cuddalore, and Paradeep. Sri Lankan ports of importance are Colombo and Trincomalee. Dhaka and Chittagong are noteworthy in Bangladesh, and Akyab (Sittwe) is Myanmar's chief port on the Bay of Bengal. Haldia, Vishakhapatnam, and Paradeep are well developed as iron ore terminals, reflecting India's profitable exportation of raw materials.
Study and exploration
The Periplus Maris Erythraei, an early Greek manual of sailing directions written in the 1st century ad, described sailing routes from the Red Sea (Maris Erythraei) to coastal areas along the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal to eastern India north of the Ganges delta. During the 2nd century ad, Ptolemy described voyages from the Ganges across the Bay of Bengal to the Strait of Malacca. Based on these descriptions, it is presumed that Indian and Malayan navigators had been crossing the Bay of Bengal on trading voyages for some time. Colonizing voyages began in the 1st century ad and can be divided into two periods: gradual colonization between the 1st and 6th centuries and development journeys between the 7th and 10th centuries.
Chinese maritime dominance of the Bay of Bengal dates from the Nan (Southern) Song dynasty (1127–1279). In 1405–33 the renowned admiral Zheng He led voyages for the purpose of exacting tribute and extending Chinese political influence in the Indian Ocean. He crossed the bay and visited ports in Sri Lanka. The Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama led the first European voyage into the bay, which—after circumnavigating Africa—reached Calicut (now Kozhikode, India) in 1498. By 1511 the Portuguese had reached and occupied Malacca (now Melaka, Malaysia). The other major European voyages of the 16th to 19th century passed well to the south of the bay.
Interest in the scientific study of the bay grew in the 20th century, especially after World War II. The postwar voyages of the research vessels Galathea of Denmark, Vityaz of the U.S.S.R., and Pioneer and Anton Bruun of the United States undertook significant work in the region; and a notable effort was the International Indian Ocean Expedition (1960–65), during which a considerable amount of information was gathered. The National Institute of Oceanography, established in India in 1966, furthered this research, utilizing the vessels Sagar Kanya and Gaveshani. Indian Ocean fishery research and development programs have been carried out on a coordinated basis by Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and several countries on the periphery of the Bay of Bengal, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Maldives.Suri Balakrishna Joseph R.

though I too find any kind of spacial FX, anything that messes with the stereo field at all, often ruins the sense of being there.
Sometimes a lot of crafting can create a whole new sound....
I wonder if field recording is akin to taking photographs, where you have a certain location in mind or you wander without direction and capture as you go, this is how I have taken pictures in the past. lets see if the same applies.
Thanks to loads and loads of human pollution around, I find myself editing my field recordings to get them as human-free as possible (no cars passing by in the distance, no airplanes overhead, no dogs barking in the neighbourhood, you name it). Then I process them in some sampling unit to see what I can squeeze out of them. Crickets, for a start, sound spooky when played back two or three octaves below their original pitch.Stephen
Thanks for the comment Stephan.The idea of recording a space, say a parking garage or an empty shopping mall, never seen one of those..... a quiet stadium, the rhythm of machinery.

Such stretching is exactly what scientists say best keeps a brain in tune: get out of the comfort zone to push and nourish your brain. Do anything from learning a foreign language to taking a different route to work. "As adults we have these well-trodden paths in our synapses," Dr. Taylor says. "We have to crack the cognitive egg and scramble it up. And if you learn something this way, when you think of it again you'll have an overlay of complexity you didn't have before — and help your brain keep developing as well."
I've found this to be true in my own experience, having just taken up guitar lessons at age 50--it's an experience that really pushes me into new and unfamiliar territory, and had led me to more creative thinking. (I even find it helps me with training, as it's a situation in which the roles are reversed and I'm a beginner student.) If public speaking is a skill you've avoided until now, or put off trying to learn, you've now got a new reason to try. The article busts a few myths, like the thought that you lose brain cells as you age, and offers some insights into how your brain works when you're trying to remember something on the tip of your tongue, another useful insight for speakers.


text: Land O'Lakes Electrolyte System Reformulated for Maximum Performance June 24, 2014 05:16 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By News Release Email Land O'Lakes Animal Milk Products introduces a reformulated Land O'Lakes Electrolyte System. "It is essential that oral electrolyte solutions contain an alkalinizing agent to address acidosis caused by the acid-base imbalance that occurs during scours. Products containing bicarbonate have been used effectively for this purpose for many years. Research by Dr. Geof Smith at North Carolina State University demonstrates that electrolyte products containing acetate as the alkalinizing agent have advantages over bicarbonate," says Dr. Tom Earleywine, technical services director for Land O'Lakes Animal Milk Products. "As a result of this key research, we are pleased to announce the Land O'Lakes® Electrolyte System Add Pack treatment is now one of the only U.S. electrolyte products formulated with acetate as the alkalinizing agent." Dr. Geof Smith, professor of ruminant medicine at North Carolina State University explains, "Our research shows that abomasal pH rise is not observed when using acetate-based oral electrolyte solutions. Maintaining a low abomasal pH addresses the risk of bacteria reaching the small intestine that may lead to infection or clinical disease." Acetate benefits include: producing energy when metabolized, stimulating the sodium and water absorption in the calf intestine and inhibiting the growth of Salmonella, E. coli and other bacteria. The Land O'Lakes Electrolyte System is designed to address the effects of scours, electrolyte loss, nutrition and dehydration. It is a two part, cost-effective program structured to address the effect of scours and dehydration before it starts and after it has taken hold of the calf. The Electrolyte System Base is designed to address the effects of scours early. It can be fed pre-shipping, prior to a long haul, on arrival of animals as part of an operation's receiving protocols, during hot or humid weather (as a dilute solution) and at the first signs of scours (scour score 2), with no visible signs of dehydration. The Electrolyte System Add Pack treatment can be used in conjunction with the Base at the first visible signs of dehydration and when more severe effects of scours is prevalent (scour score of 2+ to 3). "The use of electrolytes is vital year-round, but critical during summer heat and stress. The quality of commercial oral electrolyte solutions can vary greatly. When choosing an electrolyte product, remember that it must satisfy the calf's need for sodium and potassium to replace what is lost, as well as provide agents that promote sodium and water absorption from the intestine," says Dr. Earleywine. For more information on or on how to incorporate the Land O'Lakes Electrolyte System into your herd, visit www.lolmilkreplacer.com or call 800-618-6455.

(Article from the Hindu)
As an eminent journalist you are entitled to have your own views, and over the years I have always held your journalism in high esteem. Unfortunately, the article written by you titled: "Narendra Modi and why 2002 cannot go away" was blatantly biased. Communal riots, whether the 1969 Ahmedabad riots in which over 1,500 Muslims were killed or the 1987 Bhagalpur riots where over 1,000 Muslims were butchered or the 2002 Gujarat riots, every one of them is condemnable.
Charge of complicity
First, the real issue is: what was the response of the Gujarat government during the 2002 riots? No doubt, several invaluable lives were lost and properties destroyed in the riots. But to charge the Gujarat administration and police with having shown complicity with the rioters is nothing but crude propaganda. As we all know, the Godhra train carnage in which 59 kar sevaks were brutally burnt down sparked the riots on the morning of February 27. As the trouble broke out, a 70,000-strong police force was deployed to control the situation. The Gujarat government also promptly sought the Army's help the very same day. Even as the Army was to be mobilised from the border areas (which was done overnight), on the second day itself (February 2002 was a 28-day month), the first flag march of the Army contingent took place in the wee hours of March 1 and The Hindu itself had reported it. Can you recount any riots in the country where 170 rioters got killed in police firing? Had the Gujarat Police and administration shown complicity with the rioters, could such police action have been expected? Therefore, one should not allow the truth to get suppressed under the thickness of bias.
Second, describing the Gujarat riots as a "pogrom" is nothing but a canard. The "pogrom" was the violence unleashed and subsequent massacre of 8,000 Sikhs in Delhi in 1984 by Congress cadres instigated by its top brass after the unfortunate assassination of the then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi. The 1984 anti-Sikh massacre was an organised killing by members and leaders of a single political party.
Third, as stated above, all efforts were made to control the riots in Gujarat and criminal action was taken against the rioters, whereas in 1984, no effort was made to stop the massacre. Leave alone firing shots at rioters, the police did not even wield lathis. Not many arrests were made despite the fact that nearly 8,000 Sikhs were killed in the massacre. To my knowledge, not even one person was shot dead by the police or the army. The police was conspicuous by its absence for three full days. The army, though available locally, was not called for three full days. But these riots escaped the media glare because in those days, television was in its infancy.
Fourth, why do learned people like you conveniently forget about several other bloody riots which took place under Congress rule and selectively choose to point fingers at Mr. Modi for absolutely no fault of his? Is it because he is posing a democratic challenge to the corrupt, directionless and weak government led by Dr. Manmohan Singh?
Fifth, as far as the apology of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to the Sikh community for the 1984 riots is concerned, you yourself have pointed out that it came from a person who was in no way accountable for the riots. What was the use of such an apology when the former Prime Minister, the late Rajiv Gandhi, shamelessly justified the killing of thousands of Sikhs by asserting that "When a big tree falls, the earth trembles?" In contrast, Mr. Modi never justified the riots and acted tough in every possible capacity. Therefore, is it not wilful omission on your part to conveniently spare former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and the Congress, under which numerous riots have taken place in this country?
Development as a poll agenda
While Mr. Modi's adversaries spare no opportunity to paint him communal, the Gujarat Chief Minister, despite unceasing criticism has been able to reach out to people, including Muslims, through the rope of "good governance." He has not only set the agenda of "good governance" rolling ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha election, but also united the people in the State under the umbrella of good governance. But for the political gimmickry, even his adversaries will have to admit that the fruits of growth in Gujarat have touched people belonging to various castes, creeds and religions. A lot more development needs to be done, but the agenda of good governance set out by Mr. Modi is spreading fast and touching new lives day after day. Those who accuse the Gujarat administration of being anti-minorities could be silenced if the following statistics were considered in earnestness.
Of the total population in Gujarat, Muslims are less than 10 per cent. But 12 per cent of the police personnel in Gujarat are Muslims and 10 per cent of the government jobs are held by Muslims. The economic uplift of Muslims in Gujarat can be gauged from the fact that 18 per cent of the RTO registration of new two-wheelers is by Muslims. Their four-wheeler registration also is higher than their proportion in the overall population. On the contrary, West Bengal has the highest, 25 per cent, Muslim population, but even after 30 years of Left rule, only three per cent of Muslims are in government employment there. The world today knows Gujarat for the growth story and for its immense economic potential. The Hindus and Muslims of Gujarat are both part of the growth story. Still you have chosen to relay a false threat that the advent of Mr. Modi would be a danger to the democratic and secular ethos of India. It is unfortunate that you conveniently forgot the autocratic rule of the Congress, which the country bore during the Emergency, imposed by none other than Indira Gandhi.
In a democracy, everyone has the right to put across his viewpoint and agenda to people. It is the people who accept or reject them. The Congress-led UPA government has become synonymous with corruption, lack of leadership, policy paralysis and economic mismanagement. On the contrary, the implementation of the development agenda in the BJP-ruled States with earnestness is getting translated into mass support for Mr. Modi in rural and urban areas alike. People want to move on and are yearning for "good governance." That is why Mr. Modi has caught the popular imagination of every youth, or aged, literate or semi-illiterate people of this country and is working hard to realise it.
(Prakash Javadekar is a member of the Rajya Sabha and national spokesperson of the BJP)
BJP's national spokesperson, responding to the article "Narendra Modi and why 2002 cannot go away", by N. Ram, published in The Hindu on November 6, 2013, says the Gujarat administration and the police were in no way complicit in the 2002 riots, and Mr. Modi has been able to reach out to the people, including Muslims, through "good governance."

Hello again Freestyle readers. I'd like to take this opportunity to recognize the many contributions that Gilligan tirelessly nurtured for the community. From both the immediately visible ones like special events to the day to day operations of managing a mod team, Gilligan approached all of them with class and tact. His work and dedication stand as an example of what it means to be a moderator on Conquer Club.
Gilligan will long be remembered for his tireless work in the Special Events. He was responsible for organizing and monitoring many of the special events for the last few years. From the map contest of Easter 2012 to the organization of the Halloween Mafia game for 2011, Gilligan has been the catalyst for Special Events and he ensured they all ran without a hitch.
Gilligan also contributed to the Entertainment team in a less visible but equally important way. He meticulously kept track of community interest and involvement in the special events and the other public projects of the Entertainment team. By providing and organizing the statistics of community interest, Gilligan allowed us to see which activities drew more interest and which were relatively less popular. His willingness to hunt and calculate these numbers help the Entertainment Team tailor its events to better appeal the community at large. His many contributions to the community can be represented by his 14 General Contribution medals (tied for 3rd all time!) which reflect his 4+ years of involvement as a moderator.
You Stay Classy, CC.

Hello again my friends, and welcome to your favorite part of the Newsletter, "War Games", where you can find information about CC Tournaments!
I think we can start to be optimistic that the tournament world is at last regaining momentum. This is the first time in a long time that I have seen the Create/Join a Tournament forum go to two pages. The Ongoing Tournaments forum, which has been oscillating between 9 and 10 pages for a few months, seems to have solidly settled on 10. Mind you, this is still a long way from the 13 pages that it was when I joined CC, but I believe that the long-abused optimists of CC are seeing vindication.
We have plenty of interesting features for you in this issue. First, I speak to tournament winner Junior Bee. Then, I have a look back at the original tournament Hall of Fame, one of many projects that our recently-retired department head, Gilligan, worked on during his extraordinary career as a CC volunteer. Then, out of the sadness surrounding flexmaster33's retirement, Dave takes inspiration for another great installment of his tournament tips. Dave also updates the TPA situation.
Finally, we have Join This? Or Not!, the longest-running feature in the newsletter. Sadly, this is the last time that it will be authored by WorldCup4James. James has decided that the conflict between academic achievement and Conquer Club will be resolved in favour of academics, and in all good conscience I cannot disagree. I wish him well in his studies, and I will certainly miss him around here. It is always sad to lose a volunteer, but someone as good as James is a hard act to follow.
