In the lecture Mr. Pausch urged his students and colleagues to live life to the fullest. Among his words of wisdom:
- "Never underestimate the importance of having fun. I'm dying and I'm having fun. And I'm going to keep having fun every day because there's no other way to play it."
- "We can't change the cards we're dealt, just how we play the hand. If I'm not as depressed as you think I should be, I'm sorry to disappoint you."
- "Good teaching is always a performance, but what Randy did was in a class all by itself," says Andy van Dam, co-founder of the computer science department at Brown University, which Pausch attended as an undergraduate. "His students responded to him as athletes do to a great coach who cares not only about winning but about the team players as individuals."
Most felt condolences to his family, friends and students.

Mainer connected to California killings free after admitting to being accessory to crime
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) � A former Gardiner man who had been charged in connection with the killing of a Maine couple in California is free.
The Kennebec Journal in Augusta (http://bit.ly/13aWoOJ ) says 30-year-old Elijah Bae McKay is free after pleading guilty to being an accessory after the fact. His accomplice, 32-year-old Robby Beasley, formerly of Augusta, has been sentenced to life in prison for the 2010 murder of Augusta couple Frank and Yvette Maddox in a drug-related case.
McKay was sentenced in California court Tuesday to two years behind bars. The sentence is less time than McKay had served since his arrest in 2010, meaning he won't have to serve any additional jail time.
McKay, like Beasley, originally was charged with double murder. During his trial, McKay placed the blame on Beasley.

|Induction Class of 2012
|Previous College:
|Boston State College '71
Perhaps one of the greatest pitchers in Boston State history, Mark Matanes '71 was a four-year letter winner with the Warriors. The go-to ace in the Boston State bullpen, Matanes ended his college career as one of the most accomplished pitchers in program history, as he held program records in career wins, total innings pitched, strikeouts, and appearances.
During his four seasons he amassed a career record of 16–4 with a 2.85 earned run average. His standout play on the hill earned him All-New England and Most Valuable Player honors in 1969. Matanes helped the program to back-to-back New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) playoff appearances his junior and senior seasons, and he served as a co-captain in his final season with the Warriors.
Following his graduation from Boston State, Matanes went on to earn his master's degree from Boston University. He also earned his Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study from Boston College while teaching adaptive physical education to special needs children. He turned his education into a calling, working and coordinating Massachusetts Special Olympics programs for the Boston Public Schools. While doing all of that, Matanes also found time for the game he loved, serving as a coach for the South Boston Babe Ruth Baseball League.
After dedicating his life to the city of Boston as a teacher and coach, Matanes was recalled to active duty in 2005 with the United State Navy. After returning home, Matanes received one of the biggest honors of his life as he was enshrined in the New England Babe Ruth Baseball Hall of Fame in 2008.
Currently, Matanes serves as the State Commissioner of the Eastern Massachusetts Babe Ruth Baseball. He and his wife Rosemary have two children, Sara and Mark.

After a "lifetime of war," an appeal to keep the peace
By John W. Lacher
Guest Commentary
I was born shortly before the bombing of Pearl Harbor precipitated a world war. That war was the background music of my childhood: a refrain which was always present, sometimes frightening, but just part of life. It provided themes for playtime. We were soldiers in the battles. Our imaginary bullets brought a swift and sure end to childhood friends, whom we dispatched dozens of times each day. The only clouds in that quotidian struggle were the children who refused to "play dead" when properly shot first.
Away from the fields of battle, we watched our parents peel paper labels off of tin cans and flatten them to be saved for the war effort, deal with shortages of sugar, meat and gasoline, and purchase war bonds to support the real war. Some of our friends fathers fought and died.
Our parents faced the enemies of worry, shortages of goods, and relatives lost in the conflict. They worked hard, lived simply, and created a safe haven for their children. Alcohol and cigarettes were consumed with abandon.
When that "war to end all wars" ended, a normal life was about to begin for Americans. Well, nearly normal.

1. analyse Food as a Food Scientist
Food scientists develop innovative ways to create safe, durable and tasty food. Instead of a kitchen, you're usually found in a lab or a processing plant, improving packaging methods, experimenting with new preservative techniques or studying food-related illness. In short, you make the world a more healthy, nutritious and flavorful place to live.
Average Salary: $34,000 – $106,000
2. Celebrate Food as a Corporate Caterer
Company Christmas parties. Holiday conventions. End-of-year galas. If a large group is gathered, you amplify the seasonal spirit with appetizing noshies and decadent meals. Between coordinating servers, dreaming up creative menus and ensuring everything is piping hot, you get to sample your wares—just to be sure you're providing the best possible eating experience.
Average Salary: $23,000 – $71,000
3. Balance Food as a Nutritionist
While nutritionists are often associated with restriction and the dreaded "D" word (diet), a lot of your work is about sharing new flavours and ways of enjoying food. Using your nutritional expertise, you help clients create healthy menus full of delicious and oh-so-good-for-you ingredients.
Average Salary: $33,000 – $75,000
4. Glorify Food as a Food Photographer
Food photographers know how to capture the luscious red of a ripe strawberry, the mouth-watering steam rising off a sizzling steak and the creamy radiance of a spoonful of gelato. From blog images to glossy magazine shoots, you're in the business of making breakfast, lunch and dinner shine.
Average Salary: $17,000 – $63,000
5. Market Food as a Culinary Strategy Consultant
Standing at the corner of culinary arts and business marketing, you steer chefs, restaurants and food companies in the right direction. Working on projects ranging from recipe development, food trend tracking and product rebranding, your fresh advice helps get food into the hands of hungry consumers.
Average Salary: $17,000 – $63,000
6. Study Food as a Food Anthropologist
Food anthropologists explore how making, eating and thinking about food shapes cultures across history. This wide-ranging field can take you into any number of sub-specialties, as you research the intersection of food, religion, economy, art, migration, agriculture and more. Basically, this is a dream job for intellectually-inclined foodies.
Average Salary: $31,000 – $89,000
7. Invent Food as a Research & Development Chef
Want to get paid to experiment in the kitchen? R&D chefs mix creativity and culinary science to whip up new dishes for restaurants and food companies. And this job comes with sweet perks: while you'll log a lot of hours in the kitchen, many R&D chefs also take time to travel the world in search of tasty inspiration.
Average Salary: $34,000 – $106,000

Kim Jong-Il: 'mad as cheese'
Patten spills beans at security conference
Pity poor Kim Jong-Il. Back at the dawn of the decade he was all ready to be bezzie mates; having visits from Madeleine Albright, talking food aid, expecting Big Willie Clinton himself to drop by at any moment.
For an idea of how things have changed since then, try this from the CNN archives dated May 14 2001: "North Korea comes in from the cold".
But due to events beyond his control, everything changed. The world's only Stalinist regime unwittingly became the third leg in a Tripod of Evil with a violent nationalist state and a fundamentalist Islamic republic.
We heard about Kim's heartbreak at RSA Europe from Chris Patten. According to Patten, one of the few Western politicians to have actually met Kim, the Korean leader was baffled by the change in emphasis when the Bush administration took control of the White House. Even in a pre-9/11 climate, Kim was sensitive enough to notice his new American buddies weren't calling anymore.
He just couldn't understand what he'd done wrong, the poor wee lad.
During a seven hour audience with the world's most dangerous borderline midget, Patten had to explain at some length that there had been an election in the US. He said: "It was just not part of his world view."
That conversation was part of an EU effort to reach out to North Korea in May 2001. As EU foreign affairs commissioner, Patten visited Kim with then Swedish Prime Minister Göran Persson.
Despite his quarters sporting an ensuite bathroom that would make your average indoor tennis court seem pokey, Patten had little to recommend the North Korean capital as a holiday destination. "Pyongyang is not a fun city...you don't see many stag parties."
Despite his rudimentary grasp of democracy (no letters about the 2000 election, please) and current status as an oft-ridiculed hermit, Kim was apparently well up on global affairs. Accompanied by a lackey carting a stack of briefing papers, Kim had all the facts of the geopolitical scene at his fingertips.
For a post-Iraq British statesman, Patten has somehow maintained rare clout on the world stage. Since 9/11 he has campaigned for constructive dialogue with Tehran and Pyongyang on uranium enrichment.
Indeed, we reckon the Dear Leader's nuclear noodlings are a cry for attention: to borrow from the Reverend Al Green, Kim Jong-Il is just tired of being alone.
We would of course qualify that with Patten's own assertion that Kim is "as mad as cheese". ®

It would be too cool to have a Hummer body of that length, like a limo maybe...
He Who Dies With the Most Toys Wins.
Maybe I'll make one if the stryker body doesn't work
Ordered some fun stuff today I'm hoping I dont have to wait too long for them to arrive!
Last edited by ksb51rl; 09-16-2011 at 10:02 PM.
Started to work on the new body rack... I'll post some pics later!
I've been working on the body rack for some time now and I've made some progress!
Here's some pics: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...ojekti023.jpg/
I have also changed the way im going to mount the electronics. I have ditched the old revo 2.5 radiobox and i'm going to make my own rx box or modify it from some other box.
Also I have my battery trays installed so that they kind of float.
I got a mail from customs yesterday! My electronics have arrived but I cant get them until monday Stupid customs closes at four pm!
Last edited by ksb51rl; 09-16-2011 at 10:02 PM.
Nice! Hope to see more... About Customs, I feel you, I have to deal with them too and they are lazy (that's the nicest word I can say about them)....
He Who Dies With the Most Toys Wins.
Yeah! I think the most difficult thing is that you have to basicly figure out everything by yourself. You might have a good/great/marvelous idea in your head but you just cant make it happen because you dont have enough tools. It really sucks and then you gotta go and design everything again from the start...
I got tired of stripping the threads on the shocktowers and bulkheads with those "just long enough" stock screws. So I made a set of my own "a little" longer screws! :P
I decided to use my free time today to make the body rack. All I can say is that I progressed a lot today I got the rails done(they will need some minor tweaking still) and also I made the sliders to the cart(sorry can't figure any better word for the thingamajiggers).
Oh! I forgot to mention that the bodyposts still need quite a bit of bracing but I will be working on that soon!
I got a package from customs this morning!
What I found from it:
2x 150A esc
HK programming card
2x Lipo buzzers
10 pairs of 5,5mm banana plugs
******* 1100 kv motor
******* Tracstar 2650 kv Motor
Been doing a lot of soldering today! :P And also finished my Revo conversion!
Last edited by ksb51rl; 09-16-2011 at 10:03 PM.
I've been doing a lot of small stuff on the crawler recently. I mounted the ESC and the motor added bracing to the body rails mounted the receiver batterytray...
Also I waterproofed my receiver because I dont feel like making a box for it.
So basicly I used liquid mask on the circuitboard and after that I filled the cover with lithium grease just to ensure that no water gets in there. Will be postin more pics later!
Took some pictures today. I got the railplates done only thing I need to do now is basicly bolt them to the body(of course there's many things to do before I can get the body on but I'm getting closer)
I'm not going to link every singel pic that is in the gallery you can browse them by yourselves
looking good
my life sucks
Did some driving today with the new typhoon motor... I really like how it handle's right now I can start up sooooo smoothly and if I go over a hard obstacle the motor has so much torque that it will just spin the slipper like there ain't one. Guess I will have to tighten the slipper a bit...
Alltough theres much torque the top speed isn't so high but it doesn't matter cause I'm not looking for high speeds with this thing. I have my revo conversion for that!
I will be posting some vids when I have the time to take them!
Got the body rail finally done all I need to do now is attach it to the body!
I fitted the body first time in few months and had forgotten how HUGE it is! I really like how it looks and once I've gotten it painted it will look so SICK!
Had to take some pictures also! Here's a few:
More pics at:http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...ojekti054.jpg/
That thing is AWESOME.Great job. It must have took some thinking to come up with that idea.(8x8)
Actually I got the idea from another dude who was making 6x6 revo... So I just figured why not take it a step further!
I got the idea from this forum: http://rc10.fi/index.php?topic=27158.960
You can scroll through the next few pages. to see the progress and a few videos also. His nick is Penguin
And here's my original thread in the finnish forum http://rc10.fi/index.php?topic=42612.0
I've practiced the use of a cad program called Solidworks for the last few days.
No more stupid paint drawings and sketches.
First "real" part I designed was a custom nut for my crawler wheels! maybe someone at somepoint will manufacture it for me!
Here's some pics:
Sweet man love the build.
Very nice work sir! More video anytime soon?
Thanks Conrad859!
Sorry guys! Didn't have the time to take video this weekend!
I will be postin updates at some point again
I finally got the body mount mode done! I've braced the rails and attatched the slide to the body.
The body has only little room to wiggle sideways, but that's ok

Andrew Woodley -- Otterbein Sports Information
BEREA, Ohio – Senior quarterback Aaron Kingcade (Worthington, Ohio/Worthington Kilbourne) accounted for five touchdowns and the Cardinals upset No. 15 Baldwin Wallace University 38-17 Saturday afternoon at Tressel Field.
Otterbein University remains unbeaten at 4-0, 3-0 in the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC), and starts the season with four straight wins for only the fifth time since 1950. With the loss, the Yellow Jackets fall to 2-1 in the OAC, 3-1 overall. BW entered the week ranked 15th by D3football.com and ninth by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA).
The Otterbein running game, which entered the game averaging just 105 yards per game, pounded out 194 yards on the ground. Senior Brock Burzanko (Burton, Ohio/Berkshire) led the Cardinal rushing attack with a career-high 74 yards on 19 carries while Kingcade added 41 yards and three rushing touchdowns on 13 carries.
Kingcade also led the Otterbein offense through the air with 268 passing yards and two touchdowns on 15 of 20 attempts. For his efforts, Kingcade was named the Shriners Day Most Valuable Player of the Game.
Defensively, the Cardinals limited the Yellow Jackets to 308 yards of total offense and just 25 yards rushing (1.1 yards per attempt). The Otterbein defense collected three sacks and totaled five tackles for loss in the win.
Entering the fourth quarter Otterbein held a 24-17 lead with the ball at the BW 37 yard line. Five plays later Kingcade connected with senior Trey Fairchild (Dublin, Ohio/Dublin Coffman) for a 6-yard touchdown to give the Cards a 31-17 lead with 14:05 left in the game.
On the ensuing kickoff, Otterbein sophomore place kicker Nick Ganus (Chillicothe, Ohio/Zane Trace) recovered his own onside kick to give the Cards the ball right back. Otterbein capped off a 10-play drive with a 1-yard run by Kingcade to put the Tan and Cardinal up 38-17 with 6:06 left in the game.
Otterbein scored 24 first-half points and surpassed 300 yards of total offense in the first half. The Cardinals scored on all three of their red zone opportunities and did not end a drive without points. Kingcade's 82-yard touchdown pass to sophomore Joey Robertson (Middletown, Ohio/Bishop Fenwick) was the longest play from scrimmage this year for the Cardinals.
Otterbein held a significant advantage in time of possession, thanks largely to their running game. The Cardinals held possession for over 38 minutes of the contest and converted 10 of 13 third-down attempts. In the second half alone, Otterbein held the ball for over 23 minutes.
Senior linebacker Chad Pepper (Westerville, Ohio/Olentangy) led the Cardinals defensively with seven tackles and 1.5 sacks. Junior defensive end and reigning OAC Defensive Player of the Week Pat Seesholtz (Bremen, Ohio/Fairfield Union) finished the afternoon with two sacks and a forced fumble.
Kingcade spread the ball around to six different receivers. Fairchild led the Cards with six catches for 81 yards and a touchdown, while junior Steven Carpenter (Dublin, Ohio/Dublin Coffman) finished with five catches for 72 yards.
Otterbein will put their undefeated record on the line next week when they host Muskingum University for a 7 p.m. matchup. The Cardinals will induct eight individuals and one team into the Otterbein University Athletic Hall of Fame prior to kickoff.

UNION, N.J. (9/30/11) – Kean University blocked a field goal with less than a minute remaining to preserve a 7-6 win over The College of New Jersey in New Jersey Athletic Conference action on Friday evening.
The #10/13 Cougars (4-0, 3-0 NJAC) remain undefeated, as they hand TCNJ (3-1, 2-1 NJAC) its first loss of the season.
Senior Chris DiMicco scored Kean's lone touchdown with a two-yard run in the first quarter.
With less than three minutes remaining in the game, TCNJ took over at its own 37-yard line following the Cougar punt. A face-mask penalty moved the Lions into Cougar territory, before back-to-back carries by quarterback James Donoghue set-up first-and-10 just inside the red zone. Running back Joe Falco then carried the ball three times for 11 total yards, the last of which gave the Lions fourth-and-five at the Kean 8-yard line. On the ensuing 25-yard field goal by Tyler Olsson, the Cougars tipped the ball at the line to seal the win, as Kean took a knee on the game's final play.
After the two teams traded turnovers on each of their opening possessions, the Cougars would score their only touchdown of the game on the ensuing drive. Senior quarterback Thomas D'Ambrisi carried the ball 10-yards on the first play of the drive, before connecting with junior Matt Pitarresi on the 16-yard reception for a first down at the TCNJ 26-yard line. A D'Ambrisi seven-yard rush moved the Cougars into the red zone and a 17-catch by junior T.J. Denehy set-up first-and-goal at the two-yard line, where DiMicco capped the drive with the two-yard scoring run one play later.
The extra point by Billy Daniels gave the Cougars the 7-0 lead and moved Daniels into a tie as the program's all-time leader in PATs made with 70.
Kean and TCNJ would punt a combined seven times on the next eight drives, with TCNJ taking over at their own 39-yard line midway through the second quarter.
The Lions would follow with their longest drive of the game, with Donoghue completing four passes for 36 yards and the Lions taking advantage of a pass interference call against the Cougars to set-up first and goal at the Kean five-yard line. Three plays later, junior Matthew Rosati carried the ball in from six-yards out for the touchdown, however the Lions went for two following a low snap on the point after attempt and Kean junior Will Evans stopped holder Matt Della-Croce just outside the goal line to keep the score at 7-6.
The Cougars looked to extend the lead twice with a pair of 47-yard field goal attempts by Daniels, however the first one at the end of the second quarter was blocked as the half ended and his third quarter attempt fell short.
TCNJ had another red zone scoring opportunity late in the third quarter after Donoghue completed three passes for 21 yards and added 25 yards rushing, however Kean junior Brett Yacjaji intercepted the Donoghue pass at the 10-yard line to end the drive.
After the Cougars were forced to punt following a three-and-out on their next drive to start the fourth quarter, TCNJ again had a red-zone opportunity. This time, 18-yard field goal from Olsson was wide right and the Cougars took over at their own 20-yard line.
TCNJ and Kean posted nearly identical numbers on offense, as TCNJ had 95 yards rushing and 250 yards of total offense. The Cougars had 89 yards rushing and 241 yards of total offense, but were penalized 14 times for 166 yards.
D'Ambrisi completed 14-of-28 passes for 152 yards, while DiMicco led the ground attack with 50 yards rushing on 17 carries.
Defensively, senior linebacker Richard Esdaile made 10 total tackles, including five tackles for a loss of 13 yards. Esdaile now has 27 tackles for a loss in his career, moving him into fourth place in program history. Junior Jerelle Peay and senior Bekim Bujari each added nine tackles.
For the Lions, Donoghue completed 21-of-33 passes for 150 yards, with junior wide receiver Brian Mills catching nine passes for 83 yards. Falco gained 40 yards on 14 rushing attempts.
On defense, sophomore linebacker Nick Bricker, junior linebacker Greg Burns and senior defensive end John Kinzel each made 10 stops and a combined six tackles for a loss of 19 yards. Strong safety Shawn Brown made a pair of interceptions, including a diving pick on the first play of the game.
The Cougars return to action on Saturday, October 8, when they host Buffalo State College in NJAC action at 1 p.m.

This year, the Caribbean is not just a popular destination for vacationers and pre-World Cup cricket enthusiasts, as the 2006 International Whaling Commission (IWC) meeting will be held in St. Kitts and Nevis in June. Once again, rumors are rife that pro-whalers will hold the simple majority of votes. The same was true last year in Ulsan, South Korea, but in the end, the pro-whaling bloc was unable to assemble a majority.
There is an ironic twist this time around because the beautiful island nation of St. Kitts and Nevis has received over $14 million in fisheries aid from Japan over several years, and when it comes to matters of whaling, it consistently votes alongside Japan. Yet even if the pro-whaling nations do obtain a simple majority at the upcoming meeting, the IWC will still face deadlock, as the pro-whalers are unlikely to have the three-quarters majority needed to overturn the moratorium on commercial whaling that has been in effect since 1986. The two sides seem poles apart, with the pro-whaling countries recruiting new members year after year to vote in favor of a return to whaling and the anti-whaling countries pushing for more conservation-minded initiatives.
Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) Research Associate Susan Millward recently observed this division at an intercessional meeting; an impasse was declared over the completion of the Revised Management Scheme, the rules that would govern whaling if the ban were lifted. With the immense and synergistic threats facing the world's oceans and their inhabitants from climate change, bycatch, depletion of prey species, illegal and overfishing, toxic pollution and anthropogenic noise, a return to whaling would be disastrous for the world's remaining whales—the focus should be directed toward an integrated solution to oceanic habitat and inhabitant preservation.
Integrated Solutions
AWI has been promoting an integrated approach to species preservation in the Caribbean with Monitor Caribbean, which founded the Wider Caribbean Sea Turtle Conservation Network (WIDECAST) in 1981. WIDECAST, a coalition of governmental and non-governmental stakeholders, has grown to include volunteer coordinators across more than 40 Caribbean States and Territories working to preserve the region's six species of sea turtles. Attempting to replicate this hugely successful approach with other species, we co-authored and presented a paper on integrated conservation at a fall 2005 meeting of the United Nations Specially Protected Areas and Wildlife (SPAW) Protocol. The paper proposes the establishment of a structured network of experts drawn from various scientific governmental and non-governmental organizations to operate under SPAW. It was well received, and we have been given the go-ahead to begin researching, contacting and connecting various sources of expertise in the Wider Caribbean Region.
Harmful Practices
A month before the 2006 IWC meeting, animal welfare advocates will gather in Antigua to discuss animal issues such as disaster planning, humane education, animal cruelty investigations and responsible welfare practices. The environmental and economic impacts of various tourism activities related to dolphins, whales and other marine mammals will also be addressed. AWI will provide information in opposition to dolphin swim-with programs and the proliferation of ocean noise through participation in an evening workshop with representatives of local non-governmental organizations.
The issue of captive dolphin swim-with programs persists in the Caribbean, though we hope the progressive move taken by Mexico to ban imports and exports of cetaceans will resonate across Central America and be heeded in other countries. Caribbean nations also have much to be concerned about regarding ocean noise. There have been many marine mammal stranding incidents associated with acoustic activity in this region, and it is known to have a negative impact on commercial and recreational fishing. The reason for the high number of incidents may be the unique habitat offered by the steeply sloped seabed, which offers a concentration of prey species, especially for deep-sea diving beaked whales.
Recently, commercial fishermen in Trinidad and Tobago were awarded financial compensation from a Canadian oil company for their loss of income due to the company's seismic air gun use. Susan Millward and the Ocean Mammal Institute President Marsha Green will be discussing the issue with local government and fishery bodies while in the Caribbean. They will also participate in a town hall meeting and a radio show to discuss human-caused threats to marine mammals in the Bahamas.
History of the SPAW Protocol
The landmark Protocol Concerning Specially Protected Areas and Wildlife in the Wider Caribbean Region was co-authored in 1990 by AWI's Tom Garrett and Monitor Caribbean's Col. Milt Kaufman.
- As a product of the United Nations Environment Program, the treaty entered into force in 2000 and has been hailed as the first international environmental agreement to utilize an ecosystem approach to conservation.
- Its objective is to protect rare and fragile ecosystems and habitats in the Wider Caribbean Region, thereby protecting the area's endangered and threatened species.
- The Region extends throughout the marine environment of the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea and locations off the Atlantic coast of Florida.
- The Protocol has been signed by 15 nations and ratified by 12, including the United States in 2003.
US Protects Caribbean Forest Habitat
On Dec. 1, 2005, the US government signed into law the Caribbean National Forest Act of 2005, designating nearly 4,047 hectares of the Caribbean National Forest and another site in Puerto Rico's Luquillo Experimental Forest as wilderness areas.
This designation prohibits road construction or other development, as well as motor vehicles, bicycles and timber harvesting. The protected land is 25 miles east of the capital city of San Juan, on the western side of the Luquillo mountain range. It is the United States' first tropical wilderness area and the home of the endangered Puerto Rican parrot, one of the world's 10 most endangered birds. Other endangered wildlife species found here include sharp-shinned and broad-winged hawks and the Puerto Rican boa snake.
The Caribbean National Forest is also home to 240 native tree species and several endangered plants, including the capá rosa evergreen tree and the miniature orchid.


text: I thought someone on this list might have a suggestion for me, if I'm completely off base posting this here please let me know. We are doing some benchmarking of our clusters (some of which use SGE btw) and in the process of working with our user base and discussing what types of jobs are being run it has become apparent that its difficult to tell what kind of precision many of our apps favor. Essentially we know our hardware capabilities and have decent RPeak values for performance based on single and double precision operations but its hard to tell which way our jobs are leaning. Its either mostly single or double precision operations or some hopefully quantifiable ratio of both. Does any know of any tools available that we might use to help us profile our jobs, their resource usage, single v.s. double precision operation, simple FLOP values etc. I'm not too concerned about the performance weight of the tool as it will only be run in test scenarios to get a feel for what we have and not run with every job. A help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Lucas

Iggy Azalea's "The New Classic" is a flat LP that fails to utilize what that makes Iggy unique.
Defining a "classic" is no easy task. The first factor is obviously the quality of the music. Here we ask the basic questions: Are there any unnecessary tracks? Does the production impress without outshining the lyrics? The usual surface stuff that's easy to assess on two full listens. After the surface level is cleared, an album has to separate itself from the pack. Most of the time, this can be accomplished with historical significance or association with a proven track record. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is a classic not only because every track on it is an absolute smash, but also because the album's recording sessions, and the stories that resulted from them, will be talked about for ages. Only once an album meets both of those qualifications can it move on to its third and most important test: longevity. If the listener can't spin an album ten years later without skipping tracks, it probably isn't a classic. For this reason alone, anyone who really appreciates music should be hesitant to call any album a classic within two years of an album's release date. Personally, I'm not even ready to give good kid, M.A.A.D. City that kind of status yet. Down the line, it very well may be—but it's still too soon to say for sure. Iggy Azalea has boldly titled her debut album The New Classic. Lets see if the album qualifies.
To begin, lets talk about the surface level. After giving the project a few listens, a few things stand out. First, the production—while indisputably pop—is solid throughout. Whether it's on the DJ Mustard inspired "Fancy" or the dancehall banger "Fuck Love," the instrumentals themselves are strong. That being said, the problem here, unfortunately, is Iggy herself. As a rapper, Azalea is actually more than competent. Her message that hard-work prevails is one that has been often explored in this genre, but Iggy's flow and thick-accented delivery do more than enough to separate her from the pack. "Goddess" particularly emphasizes the full potential of her abilities. The problem is that Azalea has yet to learn her limitations. The most obvious of these drawbacks is obvious: she can't sing. Unlike Nicki Minaj, who has actually proven herself as a mildly capable pop vocalist (with the help of autotune), Iggy tries desperately on several of the album's hooks to bring some top 40 flavor and instead just leaves the listener with a bad migraine. "Don't Need Ya'll," "New Bitch" and "Impossible Is Nothing" are all victims of aiming for melody that could have been salvaged by a guest feature. A shame considering the verses on all three tracks are well above average. Meanwhile, "Work," "Black Widow" and especially "Fancy" are all enjoyable listens because the instrumentals work within the same formula: minimalistic with a dance breakdown. The songs rely on Iggy's flow (her strongest asset) to carry the track and, frankly, they work. The album itself also lacks fluidity, sounding more like a compilation of singles (and b-sides) rather than a coherent project.
Now, we can discuss historical relevancy. This is actually where the album had a real opportunity to shine. Despite her weaknesses, Iggy is an important asset to hip-hop music. A 23-year-old white woman from Australia who has only been in American for seven years, she's nothing like anyone else in this genre today. The shame is that she doesn't utilize what makes her coming historical to any avail. Her outsider's point of view could have made for some interesting one-of-a-kind music. Instead, the album is deeply impersonal. The hook on "Work," "No money, no family, 16 in the middle of Miami," is the closest Iggy allows listeners to understanding her as an individual, and that's hardly a surface layer. An album about her struggle, about her experiences outside of this country, could have been a captivating work. The New Classic is not that album.
At the end of the day, what Azalea has crafted here is a collection of potential radio-signals. As a bold-titled introduction, this is not what the album should have been. Azalea has a unique voice (literally and figuratively). When she finally starts using it, maybe hip-hop heads will start to listen more carefully.

YORK, PA - The York College field hockey squad put on a dominating performance on Saturday, defeating Washington & Lee 5-2 in non-conference action. It was the Spartans first win of the season moving them to 1-3 and the first win for new Spartan head coach Carly Zinn. The loss drops W&L to 1-3 for the campaign.
After a couple slow starts early this season, the Green and White came out hot early in the first half. Senior Jillian Brezgel (Herndon, Pa./Line Mountain) got things going early for the Spartans as she snuck one in the back of the goal giving York the early 1-0 lead just 10:53 into the game.
The Spartans kept relentless pressure on the Generals goalie throughout the first half. That pressure paid off when freshman Sydney LaMarsh (Pasadena, Md./Chesapeake) was able to get on the board for the Green and White as she collected a loose ball and fired it into the back of the goal. The lead would remain at two goals for the rest of the first half.
Seven minutes into the second half, Washington & Lee's Iziar Moure took a shot off of a loose ball and found the box to put the Generals on the board. The game wouldn't remain close much longer as junior Nancy Saylor (Manheim, Pa./Manheim Central) finished off an impressive drive with a goal, assisted by senior Kailey Brewer (Hartly, Del./Smyrna). The goal came less than four minutes after the W&L goal.
The Spartans wasted little time in padding the lead. Brewer was able to capitalize for York off of a great pass from Holly Martin to extend the lead 4-1 with just under 12 minutes left in regulation. Taylor Zusi added another goal for Washington & Lee as she collected a rebound off of York's goalie and sent it in the box. Brewer finished off the game with an impressive goal for the Spartans. Brewer received a long outlet pass, drove it around two defenders, swerved the ball around the goalie, and tapped it in for the final goal of the game. The goal is Brewer's team-leading fifth of the year.
For the game, York held all the statistical advantages with a 29-8 bulge in total shots and an impressive 20-1 edge in penalty corners.
York's Abby Baker (Baltimore, Md./Mercy) records the win for her Spartan squad with two saves on only four shots on goal. Washington & Lee's Megan Axelrod takes the loss having 11 saves on sixteen shots on goal.
The Spartans return to action on Thursday, September 12, against East. Mennonite. The game is set to start at 4:30 and Kinsley Field.

A fistful of talent has been invited on board writer-director Tom Tykwer's adaptation of David Mitchel's acclaimed novel, "Cloud Atlas," a time-skipping epic that spans thousands of years and features six main characters.
Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, James McAvoy, Ian McKellen and Natalie Portman are all said to have been offered roles, according to Production Weekly, by way of The Playlist.
From the publisher's official synopsis:
A reluctant voyager crossing the Pacific in 1850; a disinherited composer blagging a precarious livelihood in between-the-wars Belgium; a high-minded journalist in Governor Reagan's California; a vanity publisher fleeing his gangland creditors; a genetically modified "dinery server" on death-row; and Zachry, a young Pacific Islander witnessing the nightfall of science and civilisation -- the narrators of "Cloud Atlas" hear each other's echoes down the corridor of history, and their destinies are changed in ways great and small.
The book has been considered by some to be unfilmable, what with the shift in chronology and focus, but Tykwer has shown an affinity and talent for paling with time in his best known film, "Run, Lola, Run," so he apparently feels up to the challenge.

For rather a long time the local railway bridge has not been keeping the Worcester Park end up as far as putting on a decent welcome to the London Borough of Sutton (if travelling from Kingston) or to the Royal Borough of Kingston if coming the other way.
Local discontent has been rumbling on for a while such that a local campaign was set up back in November of 2011 to try to get it sorted out. In March last year when over 100 people had joined the campaign we were promised by local Lib Dems that it was all going to be fixed by the early autumn of last year. The local Lib Dem MP had even sent a letter to Network Rail.
Just when all hope seems to have faded the painters in bucket lifters turned up during the recent spate of roadwork and lo and behold the bring has been painted!
|Local parliamentary candidates Paul Scully and James Berry
"I met with Paul Scully at the railway bridge on Saturday morning. We have contacted the new Chief Exec of Network Rail and asked for a meeting with someone with authority to make decisions about the much needed works as soon as possible."Paul Scully, parliamentary candidate on the Sutton side was delighted with the result, telling the blog that:
"It's brilliant that the bridge has finally been repainted. The one silver lining of Central Road being dug up again was that Network Rail were able to get on with the repainting after James and I picked up the baton with them. Now we've finally seen some action. The next thing we need to sort out is keeping the pigeons away!"They even managed to paint out those really old light green bits!
As many readers have already suggested, it probably won't be long before the mentally challenged graffitists decide to try and seek our attention again by defacing the bridge, so you'd better enjoy the view while it exists in this pristine state.
Here's another photo you can use to convince your children's children that it was actually once clean and graffiti clear.

The first three drugs are called cholinesterase inhibitors. These drugs prevent the breakdown of a chemical messenger in the brain important for learning and memory. These medications treat symptoms related to memory, thinking, language, judgment and other thought processes.
The fourth drug, memantine, regulates the activity of a different chemical messenger in the brain that is also important for learning and memory. Both types of drugs help manage symptoms, but work in different ways.
> Learn more about these treatments and how they work
Before beginning a new medication, make sure your physician, pharmacist and care team are aware of any over-the-counter and alternative remedies you are taking to prevent drug interactions and unwanted side effects. Be sure to discuss all medications you take with your doctor to understand why they were prescribed and how to take them.

Medication Safety Tips From People Living With Alz
It's easy to forget whether you took your last dose and when. Here are some ideas that have worked for other people living with the dementia:
- Keep a calendar and check off each dose as it's taken.
- Set up a pill box each night for use the next day.
- Set the alarm on your cell phone or schedule dosing around meal times.
Treating sleep changes back to top
Alzheimer's or dementia may change your sleep patterns. You may have difficulty sleeping, take daytime naps, and/or experience other shifts in your sleep pattern. Researchers are not sure why these sleep changes occur. There are non-drug treatments and medications that may help improve your sleep.
> Learn more about treatments for sleep changes
Alternative treatments back to top
There are remedies, supplements and "medical foods" that are often referred to as alternative treatments. Alternative treatments are not regulated and do not need to adhere to the same standards as FDA-approved treatments. Claims about their safety and effectiveness are based largely on testimonials, tradition or a small body of scientific research.
If you are considering taking an alternative treatment, talk openly with your physician. It is important to be aware of any risks so you can make an informed decision. Even if advertised as "natural," alternative treatments can involve potentially powerful substances that have not met the FDA standards for effectiveness or safety, and some alternative medicines can cause unintended reactions when taken with prescription medications.
> Find out the facts about alternative therapies
Here is a list of questions to ask when considering an alternative treatment or supplement:
- Did the FDA test the product? If so, what were the results?
The FDA may have tested a product, but found it to be ineffective for the intended purpose. The company may still release the product as a medical food, either with or without changes.
- Has any non-FDA testing been done? If so, what were the results?
Does the testing entity have a vested insterest in the outcomes? For example, was testing done only by the company developing the product? If so, the results may not be entirely reliable.
- Does the developer of the product or the person recommending it to you have a potential financial gain from the use of the medication?
If so, use extreme caution. Check with your care team to see if they have any questions or concerns with your plan to use it.
- Is the product compatible with the other medications you are taking or with your diagnoses?
Be sure to check with your doctor or pharmacist to find out whether the product could cause negative outcomes given your diagnoses and any medications you are taking.
- Does use of the product have any known risks?
Ask your doctor or the pharmacist if the product has any known side effects.
Research into tomorrow's treatments back to top
Researchers are conducting studies to find new interventions and treatments that can prevent Alzheimer's, diagnose the disease earlier, slow its progression or stop it in its tracks.
Scientists are investigating future treatments called "disease-modifying drugs." These drugs aim to modify the disease process itself by having an effect on one or more of the many wide-ranging brain changes that Alzheimer's causes. These changes offer potential "targets" for new drugs to stop or slow the progress of the disease. These promising targets include beta-amyloid and tau protein (hallmarks of Alzheimer's brain abnormality); inflammation; and insulin resistance.

Participate in clinical trials back to top
Recruiting and retaining trial participants is now the greatest obstacle, other than funding, to developing the next generation of Alzheimer's treatments. You can help change this by participating in a clinical research study.
To find a clinical trial, use Alzheimer's Association TrialMatch® or call 1.800.272.3900 (line open 7 a.m.– 8:30 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday.)
TrialMatch® is a free, easy-to-use clinical studies matching service that connects individuals with Alzheimer's or dementia, caregivers, healthy volunteers and physicians with current studies.
Once you qualify for a trial, you will work with the trial research team to understand the benefits and risks of participating before making a final decision and signing an informed consent form. You will be going through this process with the people conducting the study, rather than your doctor. Many studies require that you bring a family member or caregiver with you to the interview, so make sure to ask the research team about this and any additional questions you may have.
The next time you visit your doctor, ask if a clinical trial might be right for you. Your doctor knows you and your health history, and can help you gather the information needed to locate a trial and help you identify what questions might be important to ask before deciding to participate.

Beautician and the Beasts...
Beautician and the Beasts – 'Su' has a nose for trouble!
You are warned – this is going to get personal. Sorry Sunanda, but it is our business. Whenever there is an attractive, single woman at the centre of a controversy, it always gets personal. Besides the time to get down and dirty is now! After 'Sho-nia', who? The answer's obvious 'Su-shi'. This 'Su-shi' platter doesn't even need a dash of wasabi to spice it up – our nostrils are on fire already. Of course, the media is going to chase the juiciest scandal after the Sania-Shoaib chakkar. Of course mediawallas will go overboard with every new dirty detail that emerges from the latest IPL lafda. Deal with it guys .Especially since at the epicenter of this delicious, salacious cracker of a story is a luscious woman. Someone who has emerged on the national scene out of nowhere and is likely to stick around, if she becomes our dishy ministerji's third shrimatiji. Strange how readers and viewers have clearly indicated their insatiable appetite for more juicy details on Sunanda Push(y)-kar - and to hell with everything else. Lalit Modi's very dodgy crime record ( according to press reports in the U.S. he was arrested in 1985 on charges of 'conspiracy to traffic cocaine, and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill' . Phew!). Let's put that down to, misguided, youthful follies as a student in America. His many misadventures thereafter are being duly reported on a daily basis, since the IPL war has heated up and the protagonists are all well matched, seasoned players. But, it is Sunanada who steals the show each time she tosses her bottle blond bob around, or readjusts her designer shades. A rather cruel tabloid report rubbed the lady's nose in the ground after it managed to unearth some telling ten year old 'before-and-after' photographs of the former beautician.Apparently ,expert rhinoplasty fixed her old, extra long nose to produce the current pert one. The surgeon who was given a Padma Shri in 2009 for his contribution to the field of plastic surgery ( was it a belated 'thank you'?), went on to reveal some more graphic details about other surgeries undertaken by the Kashmir Ki Kali, before she launched herself on the international scene as a player not to be messed with.
As things stand, she has given her gentleman friend ( Tweet King Tharoor) several charming character certificates. We now know he is a "kind, great, principled and honest guy", who is her good friend. Tharoor has generously returned the compliments by assuring everybody that Sunanda is not just his good friend, but his very, very good friend, who is being hounded by the media because us unsophisticated folks in India do not know how to respect attractive, woman professionals ( Chanda Kochhar, Naina Kidwai, Zia Mody – protest forthwith!!!). Excuse me, but when someone has the audacity to pass such a sweeping judgement on successful female careerists in India ( considering Tharoor's boss, Sonia Gandhi herself falls into this category), I'd say he and his lady love are asking for trouble. Today, more than ever, India is celebrating the incredible contribution of women in the work force. Women who have had to battle enormous resistance and prejudice to make their way in life. Sunanda Pushkar's story does not fall into this category. Going by her own family's accounts, Sunanda comes across as an adventurous woman who didn't always play by conventional rules ( a source in her plastic surgeon's clinic says she was not charged for the 3 or 4 lakh nose job since she had come with a 'recommendation'). Her IPL supporters claim she was given a nearly 70-crore gift ( come on, let's not confuse everybody with technicalities – call it sweat equity if you want. Gift, it is), for services she was going to render. Services such as marketing, event management and endorsement deals …. in the future. She herself said all this was in lieu of a salary. Sorry…. this doesn't sound like an ace professional talking.
When women like Sunanda Pushkar hit the headlines, it sends out the most terrible message about women in the workplace. Let's face it, Sunanda is as much of a hot potato as she is a hottie. Every possible stereotype is being dragged out of closets and paraded with a sneer and a predictable putdown that goes – " See – what did I tell you? Women are like that, only!" No sir. No ma'am. For every Sunanda out there, there are thousands of exceedingly hard working, extraordinarily committed women merely doing their job. And yes. Many of them are stunningly attractive,too.
When Tharoor tried to make India go on a guilt trip about his future wife, it was a low blow. Love can make even the world's sharpest, smoothest Casanovas behave in an irrational, gooey 'lattoo' way.While we fully understand the Minister's heart condition and wish him well with his latest bride-to-be, this is one coup de coeur that goes beyond his personal life. Today, the IPL story has brought disrepute to not just the game of cricket but several prominent personalities. It has also focused attention on the rot and corruption that lie behind the glamour and glitz of this multi-crore tournament. Charges of rampant drug abuse, underworld involvement, hawala transactions, prostitution, bribery and worse are doing the rounds. With so much sleaze and muck to deal with, the game itself has become incidental.And the man who set the ball rolling – Lalit Modi – will find it near impossible to crawl out of this pit unscathed. I have no sympathy for these big boys. They know how to take care of themselves. I have no sympathy for the lovebirds, 'Su-shi' either. By the time their big day arrives, there will be enough people to dance at the baraat ( as it happened during the 'Sho-nia' shaadi). We are great ones for celebrating 'weddings-sheddings'…. that's us. Sentimental fools, all. In this case, the bride has a lot to blush about. And so does the groom. But at least one thing is guaranteed after the garlands are exchanged – no more bad hair days for Shashi. Jai ho!

Hi Shobha,
Well written, as is your norm!
This is one of those scandals in which nobody emerges with any credibility. All the principal characters and those in the background have exposed themselves and also shown us how much contempt they have for the average Indian's intelligence.
Modi has always been a crook, and people were suckered into ignoring his crime record. He is an insult to anyone who loves the game of cricket in the country, but I doubt this is the last we have seen of him.
Sunanda is an insult to all the women professionals in the country, which the average man like me respects and takes pride in.
And Shashai Tharoor is constantly reminding us how he gave up a posh career to do us mortals service. I've had just enough of his snootiness. Speaking with a foreign accent and a star studded professional career does not always translate to a minister we can respect.
I wish the support cast in this drama cutting across political barriers – the other Modi, Pawar, etc are also exposed some day!

These are Kalyugi times for sure. I think you summed it up very well when you describe IPL as....
"rampant drug abuse, underworld involvement, hawala transactions, prostitution, bribery and worse are doing the rounds."
There are loads of HARAAM KI AULLAD in this IPL tamasha. My list of these Haraami who have betrayed this country for big bucks are following...
Sharad Pawar - May Sunanda tell him some plasatic surgeon to straighten his twisted cheek. I have to turn my face away everytime I see his SWOLLEN cheek filled with the fruits of corruption he accumulated over the years. Why do we need these full time politicians for running sports??
Lalit Modi - Gujrati bastard. He was a pawn used by Sharad Pawar and other BCCI offcials to destroy this game for BIG MONEY. HYPED BY MEDIA AS SOME GENIOUS...
THIS IDEA ORIGINATED FROM ZEE FILMS SUBHASH CHANDRA WHO WAS PUSHED OUT OF THIS BUSINESS BY BCCI's BULLYING TACTICS. BESIDES THERE ARE LOADS OF OTHER LEAGUES RUNNING IN FOOTBALL, BASEBALL AND RUGBY etc with similar format...
The only difference is that in those leagues it is still a sport. While in Indian Premier League or now defunct ICL it is a Raand's tamasha who takes control on TV and print media. The game of cricket itself looks a poor cousion.
Bollywood's Raand and Randuve - These NAALI ke KEEDEY got more coverage on cricketing matters because they can do silly stuff with bare minimum clothes. They can dance half naked in the after match parties. Prostitution and drugs goes with glamour. Fashion shows b4 and after the match only shows the LEVEL of DESPERATION and create more sluts in India to serve rest of the world.
Media's half prostitute and half journalist anchors and producer- Don't want to repeat the role of these parasites in destroying this country's.
Past Cricketers like Gavaskar and Shastri - These people also fell into the trap of making quick bucks and actually defended this tamasha. If free chhori and daaru is offered then it's difficult to resist...Isn't it Shastri ji???
Keep up the HEAT on these parasites who give bad image to India at least in the cricketing world.

Tharoor and Sunanda opened Pandora's box. They got burnt. who can bell the asli chors who are smiling away? When Shashi Tharoor tweeted to embarrass the Congress, all of you supported him. He grew arrogant and crossed the lakshmanrekha this time.
Lalit Modi and Sharad Pawar are the people who created the IPL Frankestein. First they crushed one of our best cricketers Kapil Dev and then they tried to remove whoever came their way. Who wants IPL which has no national flavour, no commitment? Cricket has degenerated to abysmal low levels. When these cricketers play for the nation, the runs dry up. When they play for money, they flow like water. I was aghast when a all smiling Rajdeep Sardesai interviewed two liers on nation television as if those two are the greatest thing happened on earth. As for Farookh Abdullah, his father and son are much more refined. He is all bollywood.

hey there..!
read this post yesterday in the TOI.
I think you were a bit too harsh on sunanda, going a tad bit too personal, especially regarding the plastic surgery part...!!
- April 19, 2010 at 11:22 AM

Pawar and Modi wanted to make the IPL empire(like Vatican) and they almost challenged the Indian State represented by Mr.Chidambaram by going off to South Africa. It is nothing but contempt for all the norms and procedures. Most Indians are addicted to cricket and bollywood. This is well exploited by the money hungry and the unscrupulous.
As for Sunanda's nose job, nothing wrong in going for a plastic surgery to enhance one's looks. Many women and many men go for it. Otherwise, it is impossible for an older woman to have a tight face, no wrinkles etc. etc. Women can do what men can do. The other day an ordinary looking Income Tax officer was caught accepting 1.5 crore bribe through her husband.
Whether we accept it or not, looks play a very important part. If there are two equally qualified girls, the man usually selects the best looking one. Women's looks can be used, sold and exploited. One cannot run away from this truth. To use your favourite expression, 'deal with it'.
Shashi is only a small fish and it is easy to catch him. Let us see whether the sharks are caught?

Thanks to IPL, the WINNER of the wisden's PLAYER OF THE CENTURY award and one who is inducted into ICC HALL OF FAME is sitting on the sidelines. The only person who brought world cup for India.
Not only KAPIL DEV was removed as chairman of national cricket academy but also his pension was revoked. IPL has disgraced the game of crikcet and humiliated some of it's finest players.
It's time to beat the shit out those who are running IPL and ruining the game of cricket.
NO PLACE FOR SLUTS like SHILPA Shetty, Preity Zeinta and Randuve like Shahrukh Khan and Lalit Modi to hog the limelight on cricketing matters.

sunanda ka nose job has been in news, more than sridevi's nose job or actresses s boob job. The Nosey that we are, we feel nose is the most important national news.
tharoors dreamt of being 3rd time lucky at being dishy... but in this sea of sharks, he - the sukda bombill got trapped in the net, and is now in the dish.
and today's advancements reveals that twitter can drop governments and sack ministers. wallah, what a tool.
now what's next for tharoor? will he be back?- ZAROOR!
he will be back after teh dust has settled. and now, will play a strategic "pulling strings and communicator" role through his playground - twitter.
and guess what- himeesss resamiiyyya is making a film on the eeesssu -

i can see what you are good at doing de.
you are good at presenting the wrongdoings instigated by men in a magnified way and making generalising things about them, and you are good at covering up the wrongdoings instigated by women by calling them damned career-oriented, strong, independant women.
ofcourse we all know when was the last the time you complimented men for anything at all-never. (but you dont refrain from using the things they invented including fashionable clothes, high heel sandals)
and you pick up some rarely heard women and magnify their contribution.
besides why do u think sunsnda looks beutiful. she is an old piece of shit, somehow putting together depreciated pieces of shit by using surgery and cosmetics and you call her beautiful. i guess you have done the same. we have the generation of women who are proud of their fake implanted boobs, surgery-made noses, lyposuctioned butts and they say we are beuty plus brain. what can be more rediculous.
you want people to know the ways to respect these so called career oriented women, and how do you respect the man who tried to do it ,who lost his job in offering a favour to a fake cosmetic peice- by calling him 'lattoo'.
i love to hate you.

Journalists like Rajdeep sardesai should refrain from calling interested parties like Vijay Mallya who acted like a defence lawyer and Rajdeep was handing over to him titbits so that Mallya could use them to praise Modi to the skies. What else can you expect from him?
Who is shielding whom? The NCP ministers like Praful Patel and Sharad Pawar, their roles and our own CBI, Income Tax etc. which acted now, instead of acting at the right time.
There were cases against Laloo, Mayavati and others. What happened to all of them?
Is the Congress itself is clean? Hushing up misdeeds of allies to survive makes its role dubious.
All the political parties are upto their necks in the dirt. And they are using all the instruments like CBI, Income Tax raids etc to scare.
Nothing will come out of this. After sometime, Modi will be back and Tharoor will be back. They will be interviewed and lionised. The show and party will go on while the bemused public wonders whether the volcanic ash do one favour by smothering the entire earth and make it free of human beings.

Lacys are intelligent, intense, active and always alert. Developed to be both hunting and herding dogs, they display an incredible drive and determination to work.
Bold and tough with tremendous heart, they have enough grit to stop big game and control difficult livestock. Lacys are also devoted to their family, are naturally protective and may be wary of strangers.
Young dogs may have too much energy and drive for small children. Being extremely smart, they are easy to train, learning new skills quickly.
The Blue Lacy is a working breed and most need a job. Work they excel at includes herding livestock, running trap lines and hunting wild hogs. Modern activities like agility that stress intelligence, passion, speed and nimbleness may be appropriate substitutes for traditional work.

We Want You to Sing With Us!
Section 8 Chicago has long been recognized for providing some of the most creative and vibrant support in Major League Soccer, both at home and on the road. Since the very beginning, Fire fans have been providing passionate and vocal support to the players on the field. The Fire and the Independent Supporters Association would like to amplify that support throughout all of Toyota Park. With that, Chicago Fire Soccer Club and Section 8 Chicago are partnering to launch the "Stand. Sing. Participate." initiative.
What is Stand. Sing. Participate?
To amplify the atmosphere created within The Harlem End, we're inviting all Fire supporters in attendance at Toyota Park to participate in specific chants that originate in the supporters sections. If you've been to even only one big night at Toyota Park, you've heard the songs. "Hot Time in Old Town". "Vamos La Maquina Roja". "Just Can't Get Enough". Songs that reflect the history of Our City and the diversity of Our Club and its supporters. Have you ever wanted to sing along with the supporters sections but weren't exactly sure what the words were? No worries, the Fire and Section 8 Chicago will have you covered throughout the stadium with chant cards to guide you along the way. This Saturday as you enter the gates at Toyota Park, you should receive a chant card listing five popular chants in Section 8 Chicago. When you hear them come out of The Harlem End, we ask that you Stand, Sing and Participate! Together with our combined voices, we can unite all Chicago Fire fans to create a dominant in-stadium force unseen in any American team sport and establish a home-field advantage whenever the Chicago Fire play.
Miss the chant cards at the gate? Find our roving Firestarters or wander over to the supporters sections and grab one! If you are unable to get one or can't get to the home opener don't worry we have you covered. The chant cards will be distributed throughout the entire season!
About Section 8 Chicago
Section 8 Chicago is the Independent Supporters' Association (ISA) for the Chicago Fire Soccer Club. The ISA is a registered 501(c)7 non-profit organization run by volunteers through an elected board of directors. The ISA represents all Fire supporters, organizing in-stadium support, road trips, tailgates, watch parties and social events.

Gun dealers see ammunition shortage due to laws
WATERBURY -- Gun dealers in Connecticut are reporting a shortage in ammunition they say is due to laws restricting guns.
At Northwest Sporting Goods and Supply in Winsted, for example, customers may not buy more than 200 rounds of .22-caliber ammunition.
The Republican-American reports (http://bit.ly/17iWely ) that owner Bill Berlinski says he or his staff calls wholesalers across the country to find ammunition. He says manufacturers are making bullets as fast as they can and retailers are selling them just as quickly.
The shortage began shortly after a gunman killed 20 children and six educators at a Newtown school in December.
Michael Bazinet, spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a trade group for gun manufacturers and retailers, says national debate over firearms restrictions has contributed to rising demand for ammunition and guns.

By now just about anyone within a 25-mile radius of the tri-state area is aware that Arlene Ackerman, superintendent of the Philadelphia School District since 2008, has accepted a $905,000 buyout of her contract to leave the district.
The deal, which brings together $500,000 from the district's coffers and another $405,000 from anonymous private donations funneled through a nonprofit, sends Ackerman packing after a summer of public sparring.
Astonishingly, the $905,000 is still less than the $1.3-1.5 million Ackerman initially sought to end her tenure three years early. With an annual base salary of $348,140 Ackerman's buyout should represent the minimum she would have earned had she stayed, not accounting for bonuses and other incentives.
Her lawyer, however, was quick to point out that she agreed to forgo her final year's salary, deferring it to funds for Promise Academies. It's hard to imagine that the public will see that as a sign of generosity when Ackerman has earned more than $1 million for three years work in a district that is facing a $650 million deficit.
The inequity represented by Ackerman's million-dollar buyout in a district that spends just $11,078 per student is egregious. The current enrollment estimate is 184,560 students, which means the total amount of money spent on the district's children just above $2 billion.
Philadelphia is the eighth largest school district in the nation with a total annual budget of roughly $2.8 billion. And yet Ackerman is leaving, wealthy and embattled, because of a political dispute with the Mayor and the School Reform Commission.
As Councilwoman Jannie L. Blackwell said in the Inquirer on Tuesday, Aug. 23, "She may have been an educator, but she's in a political environment, and anyone in her position has to accept that."
Is that the problem, Councilwoman? According to reports, Ackerman's relationship with Mayor Nutter soured when she announced a plan to save all-day kindergarten without alerting him first. At the time she was quoted as saying, "Is it a crime to stand up for children instead of stooping down into the political sandbox and selling our children for a politicians' victory?"
What is frustrating is watching these civic leaders play ideological volleyball, constantly switching sides and then diving undercover when called on the carpet.
It is especially frustrating when our collective short-term memory fails us, as it often does, and we forget that while the players may change, the problems rarely do.
When Paul Vallas left the same post after his five-year stint preceding Ackerman, Susan Snyder wrote in an April 12, 2007, Inquirer article, "Vallas to leave city schools post":
"Tensions among Vallas and the School Reform Commission and Mayor Street have flared in recent months, after his disclosure in October that the district's $2.04 billion budget had a $73.3 million deficit and faced large cuts for next year to balance the spending plan. As a result, the commission took some spending authority away from Vallas and put it in the hands of its own fiscal monitors."
Sound familiar? It should. Vallas did what he could and was widely praised for the improvements he made, and widely criticized for not doing more, which is why the rationale for Ackerman's ousting is erroneous.
Under Ackerman's leadership graduation rates improved, math and reading test scores improved and violent incidents in schools declined 29 percent.
Almost a million dollars is too much money for anyone to take from an ailing school system, where children should, as Ackerman said, be the top priority, but paying her to leave to save political face is nothing to hail as an achievement either.
