Madhu .D was away from Bangalore for six months and when he returned he couldn't recognize his city. "The accelerated change and erasures are inevitable here, the city seems like a construction site, a battle ground of change and resistance, loss and hope. The unplanned chaos is unnerving; the change in landscape has left us with only real estate as a promise for the future. This is visual response to the absurdity of a city that is at siege, the moaning of loss and the mocking of a city that seems to be waking up late and has been caught napping."
He has been in town for a few weeks and I met him co-incidentally near the Vishweshwarya Science Museum and we got talking. He described the following project to me and I invited him to do it as part of CitySpinning and Openspace India's engagement with Bangalore city.
Project sketch:
The above structure was made and carried around across Bangalore as a part of a performance. Some of the photographs strung up on the structure are:

Emily Gusse had two RBI in Game 2 Saturday (Photo: Mike Slade).
NEW YORK – Strong pitching and timely offense was the name of the game, as the Harvard softball team took a pair of games from Columbia, 4-1 and 3-1, Saturday in an Ivy League doubleheader. The wins are Harvard first in Ancient Eight play, moving Harvard to 2-2 in the conference and 9-14 overall. Columbia dips below .500 with the results at 11-13 on the season.
Harvard managed a pair of hits in the first two innings (singles by Kasey Lange and Stephanie Regan) but it was Columbia that was able to push the first run across. After a 1-2-3 first inning for Crimson pitcher Morgan Groom, she had her only hiccup of the afternoon in the bottom of the second when Kayla Shimoda popped a solo homerun to left-center to give the hosts an early lead. Shelbi Olson registered Harvard's third hit of the day in the third, and the Crimson loaded the bases with one out in the fourth, but Columbia pitcher Brooke Darling was able to wriggle out of the jam unscathed.
The runs finally came in the top of fifth, where Olson reached on an error to lead off the inning. Lange, who extended her hitting streak to six games in her first at-bat, cranked a two-run homer to centerfield, swinging the lead to the Crimson and giving Lange her third home run in as many games. Adrienne Hume followed immediately with a base hit, but Harvard ended the inning with a 2-1 lead.
Groom stayed poised down the stretch, surrendering one hit and no runs in the final three frames. A pair of RBI singles from Regan and Olivia Piccione in the Harvard seventh stretched the lead to 4-1, and Columbia was unable to respond in its final at-bat. Groom earned her fourth win of the season in the complete-game effort, surrendering four hits and striking out five on the day. Lange and Regan had two hits each in Game 1, with Lange's two RBIs leading all Harvard hitters.
It was a bit of an ugly start to Game 2 for Harvard, as a pair of fielding errors allowed the Lions to plate a run in the first inning for its second lead of the day. Harvard had a quick response, however, scoring two runs in the second to reclaim the lead in the early going. Regan walked to lead off the inning and moved into scoring position on a wild pitch. Two batters later, Emily Gusse ripped a double down the left field line, plating Regan to knot the score at 1-1. Alyssa Siegmann advanced Gusse to third with a single through the middle, and Gusse came home on another wild pitch for a 2-1 lead after two.
The Columbia bats were a bit more potent in the second game of the day, but despite collecting hits in the second through sixth innings, Harvard starter Gabrielle Ruiz made sure keep the Lions from crossing the plate again. Gusse came through again for the Crimson in the sixth, bringing home Regan with an RBI single to right, pushing the lead to 3-1. Jamie Halula came in to pitch the sixth and seventh for the Crimson, and the freshman surrendered just one hit en route to collecting the save in the 3-1 win.
Gusse had two of Harvard's six hits in the game and also had a pair of RBI. Ruiz collected her third win of the year, scattering six hits over five innings and striking out two.
Harvard returns home for its next action, as it welcomes Providence to Soldiers Field for a Tuesday doubleheader. Game 1 is slated to begin at 3 p.m.

Ah the supposedly "liberal" Anglican church.
Peter Jensen, Anglican Archbishop of Sydney, is not "liberal." He demonstrates this in his explanation of the Anglican demand for wifely sumbission in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Many of our young people want to be "wives and husbands" rather than simply "partners" and in their weddings they come as "bride and groom" rather than simply two individuals. They believe that expressing these differences, including different responsibilities, makes for a better marriage.
Both kinds of promise are provided for in the Sydney Anglican diocese's proposed Prayer Book, which has been the subject of commentary this week.
There is nothing new in this – it is the same as the Australian Prayer Book which has been used for decades.
Did you spot the oh-so-subtle dig at same-sex marriage? I know you did.
And then the nothing new nothing to see here move along – well lots of things aren't new, but that doesn't make them good. We've been doing lots of things for decades, in fact centuries and millennia; some of those things are bad things to do.
Where different promises are made, the man undertakes great responsibility and this is also the wording of the book, as it has always been. The biblical teaching is that the promise made voluntarily by the bride to submit to her husband is matched by the even more onerous obligation which the husband must undertake to act towards his wife as Christ has loved the church. The Bible says that this obligation is ultimately measured by the self-sacrifice of Christ in dying on the cross.
That's what we're always being told about Islamic laws of marriage. It's such a great deal for the woman, because the man has to support her and all she has to do is surrender all her rights. And all that crap about as Christ has loved the church and the self-sacrifice of Christ in dying on the cross – what's that got to do with anything? What does it even mean? How has "Christ loved the church"? By doing the dishes one evening a week? Flowers? Diamonds?
And anyway what is the point? It's a way to end arguments. Yes, but not a good way, and how is that the archbishop's business anyway – how other people end their arguments?
This is not an invitation to bossiness, let alone abuse. A husband who uses the wife's promise in this way stands condemned for betraying his own sworn obligations. The husband is to take responsibility for his wife and family in a Christ-like way. Her "submission" is her voluntary acceptance of this pattern of living together, her glad recognition that this is what he intends to bring to the marriage and that it is for her good, his good and the good of children born to them. She is going to accept him as a man who has chosen the self-discipline and commitment of marriage for her sake and for their children. At a time when women rightly complain that they cannot get men to commit, here is a pattern which demands real commitment all the way.
Along with inferior status. What "glad recognition"? And who says it's "for her good?" It's all purple language – so typical of churchy types – that doesn't say anything. They can both perfectly well choose self-discipline and commitment without one of them having to be inferior to the other. Just get over it, dude – it's not written in the stars that women are required to "submit" to men.
Secular views of marriage are driven by a destructive individualism and libertarianism. This philosophy is inconsistent with the reality of long-term relationships such as marriage and family life.
Referring to "partners" rather than husband or wife gives no special challenge to the man to demonstrate the masculine qualities which he brings to a marriage.
Boy, that's their go-to reason now, isn't it – the alternative is ew ick secularism and individualism. The pope does it, the archbish of Canterbury does it…It seems to be all they have left.
It is a pity that the present discussion has been so overtly political. Instead of mocking or acting horrified, we should engage in a serious and respectful debate about marriage and about the responsibilities of the men and women who become husbands and wives. The Bible contains great wisdom on this fundamental relationship.
The rush to embrace libertarian and individualistic philosophy means that we miss some of the key relational elements of being human, elements which make for our wellbeing and happiness. It's time to rethink marriage from first principles. It really matters.
The bible contains great wisdom on marriage? Please.
This kind of thing reminds me why I'm a gnu atheist (with or without pluses). That article is so annoying – all that windy dignified word salad, saying very little and that little totally wrong. It's perfectly possible to have a serious and respectful debate about marriage and about the responsibilities of the women and men who become wives and husbands, but the bible has nothing to contribute to such a process.
Religion simply obstructed Peter Jensen's ability to say anything even faintly relevant or interesting or useful.

Dark Line Coffee
We created our Dark Line in the late 90s as a result of customer demand. The rising popularity and growth of chain coffee shops made coffee drinkers aware of dark roasted coffee, and our customers were increasingly requesting it.
Our dark coffees became very popular as soon as we introduced them. More than a decade later, they're still in demand. We have six dark coffees, each with its own totally unique, different flavor profile, in distinctive black packaging. And as their names imply, these coffees are packing some very bold flavors!
What makes dark roasted coffee different? Raw coffee has an enormous flavor profile. The roasting process highlights different parts of that spectrum of flavors. Lighter roasting brings out brighter notes and produces a more fruit-forward coffee. With a darker roast, the beans reach higher temperatures and their sugar caramelizes more, which produces the dark chocolate, roasted nut and caramel notes that are more characteristic of dark coffee.
So that's what makes dark coffee different. But you know what makes it great? Perfect beans in the hands of an expert roaster who knows the difference between a dark roast that's smooth and one that's been blistered beyond recognition! Unfortunately, most so-called dark roasts are a product of the heavy- handed roaster who figures you're not smart enough to know the difference between dark and dreck.
So when we started to hear the faint rumblings of thunder among some of our great customers for a darker roast, we listened. And the message was loud and clear. They wanted a roast that would make their eyes pop open and taste buds bounce. A heady blend that didn't taste like it was brewed from the burned-on crust from their brother-in-law's barbeque grill.
And here it is! The Dark Line from The Roasterie. A collection of dark roasted coffees with attitude. Not burned. Not bitter. But full of intense aromas, rich flavor, and full body. Coffee that will have all you lovers of a strong, smooth dark blend saying, "Whoa, baby! Now that's a cup o'joe!"
And by the way, in addition to our Dark Line, some of our other coffees, such as our Pitalito Estate of Colombia coffee in the Origin coffees section of our site, are available in a choice of roasts. Here's the key: Our lightest roast is Vienna, and our darkest is Italian. Our French roast is in between the two.

Reid, Shephard get wet for charity
Good Morning Britain presenters Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard got a drenching for a charity stunt this morning - and were left shrieking.
The pair had chilly water thrown over them during this morning's show as they agreed to take the "ice bucket challenge" which has seen many public figures and celebrities receive a dousing.
Reid, wearing a sleeveless print dress, showed her horror as she was about to be soaked, asking: "Oh my goodness, is this actually going to happen?"
Good Morning Britain presenters Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid taking part in the Ice Bucket Challenge for charity (ITV/PA)
She screamed as the water poured over her and looked as though she was in danger of losing her balance as she tottered in her heels.
Afterwards she grinned as she stood on the roof of the ITV studio at London's South Bank but said: "It's so cold."
They were nominated to take part by weather presenter Laura Tobin, who has already had a go.
Participants then dare others to take part in the challenge, which raises money and awareness for Lou Gehrig's Disease.
Shephard then nominated This Morning presenters Ruth Langsford and her husband Eamonn Holmes, with Langsford responding: "We accept that challenge."
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Archangel Recipe
A simple mix of muddled cucumber, gin, and Aperol makes for a cooling and refreshing cocktail. This drink was created by Michael McIlroy and Richard Boccato of Milk & Honey in New York.
I usually make this one with a London dry gin such as Beefeater 24, but it's also great with other gins. Try Hendrick's to amp up the cucumber flavor or Plymouth for an even lighter taste.
- Yield:makes 1 cocktail
- Active time: 2 minutes
- Total time:2 minutes
- 2 (1/2-inch thick) slices cucumber
- 2 1/4 ounces gin
- 3/4 ounce Aperol
- Garnish: lemon twist
Add the cucumber slices to the bottom of a mixing glass. Muddle them to break up, but do not pulverize completely.
Add gin and Aperol to mixing glass then fill 2/3 with ice and stir until well chilled, about 20 seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass, garnish with lemon twist and serve.

Die casting
In die casting liquid metal is injected into a die of the exact shape in which, under pressure, it solidifies. Meltings processed in this manner encompass materials with lower melting points such as tin, lead and zinc alloys, those with mid-range melting points such as aluminium or magnesium and their alloys, up to copper alloys with higher melting points.
In the cold chamber die casting process the melting of the metal to be processed is drawn in portions from a dosing furnace and filled into a casting chamber by means of a ladling device. Afterwards the metal that was poured in is pressed into the die with a hydraulically driven plunger. Due to the fact that the casting chamber does not come into contact with the liquid melting during the entire casting process, thus is cold in contrast to the melting, the term cold chamber process is used. In the hot chamber die casting process the casting chamber is in constant contact with the melting. This chamber is at casting temperature.
Since aluminium alloys and copper alloys react with the steel of the casting chamber, a longer contact of this melt with the tool components leads to erosion and corrosion. For this reason these metals are processed using the cold chamber procedure. In order to be able to guarantee even casting of the dies without premature solidification on thin gage parts as well, the melt is moulded under pressure of 200 300 bar. Due to these high pressure conditions the casting processes take place correspondingly quickly. Even the dies of aluminium castings weighing several kilograms are filled within seconds.
Nowadays approximately 80% of the aluminium castings are produced using the cold chamber die casting procedure.

The afternoon keynotes at the Professional BusinessWomen of California were focused on financial advice and retirement planning.
Valerie Coleman Morris started out with some sage advice: "Don't worry about what you've lost, you can't get it back." Harsh, but true. I know I've personally spent too much time on the "what if" game for my 401K and other investments.
Ms. Morris's emphasis on this for woman is due to the fact that in general women spend 13 years less in the workplace than men do - which means we really need to start thinking about retirement sooner and more seriously, to make the most use of all of our working years. Yes, this is SO hard to think about fresh out of college - all I can say is that I am so glad that there was an older man in my first day of orientation at work that told me retirement is sooner than I thought and talked me into starting my 401K right away.
She warned us that because women live longer, we are more likely to find ourselves with many medical needs that are not covered by any sort of insurance. More reason to save. Also, she said the average age of widowhood was 55.5, so you won't be able to count on joint social security income or anything of that sort.
Ms. Morris also cautioned all women that were in a committed relationship to make sure that they knew where all the accounts were, where to find account numbers, and any brokerages holding any investments.
To keep our financial planning paranoia going, the next speaker was Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz - yes, the same family as the famous Charles Schwab brokerage. Ms. Schwab-Pomerantz stressed how concerned she was that financial planning of any sort was not being taught in school, and how critical this good planning is for all of us having a secure future.
Ms. Schwab-Pomerantz talked about how to keep our heads above water, even in this economy, giving these few "easy" guidelines to follow (okay, they're not easy, but they definitely have merit and I'm pretty sure she knows what she's talking about):
- Have an emergency fund
- Should be a minimum of 3 months worth of expenses
- Minimize debt
- Should not have more than 30% of your income in debt
- Save
- Hard to think about while minimizing that debt and creating your emergency fund, but she said that if you think you'll need a retirement income of $50,000 a year you will need to save at least $1.25 million. Wow!
- Have a will and a trust
- Again, hard to think about while young and healthy, but you have no idea what will happen when to either your or your spouse.
- Health Insurance
- Without this, one health crisis may wipe out all of your savings and put you back to square one at any time.
Both of these women gave me a lot to think about!

BROOKINGS, S.D. – Junior shortstop Tanner Funk (Kearney, Mo.) of the Georgia College baseball team was named Daktronics Division II All-America Honorable Mention, the organization announced Saturday.
In his first year with the Bobcats, Funk was second on the team in hitting at .393 with two home runs and 54 RBI. He also led the PBC in doubles with 20. He slugged .520 and scored 45 runs.
All-time, GC student-athletes have now earned four All-America honors through the Daktronics organization, Funk being the first infielder to do so.
The Bobcat baseball team went 35-17 in 2011, a season that saw them hold down the No. 1 spot in the country for two weeks. The Bobcats finished second in the PBC West, honoring three all-region players, and an All-American in Funk.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

BALTIMORE – Using school record performances and event victories, the UMBC men's track and field team took first place at the Morgan State Legacy Meet which concluded Saturday at Hughes Stadium. The men scored a meet-best 122 points while Retriever women's squad finished tenth with 36 points.
After taking the lead on Friday behind victories in the javelin and hammer from freshman Vincent Rentzsch (Oranienburg, Germany) and sophomore Thor Serafenas (Olney, Md./Good Counsel/Clemson), the Retrievers won three events on Saturday to clinch the victory.
Junior Yao Adantor (Laurel, Md./Reservoir/Morgan St./Maryland), who finished seventh in the hammer on day one, took the top spot in the shot put with a new school record distance. Already the record holder following the Big Dawg Invitational, Adantor improved his mark at Morgan State with a toss of 16.60m (54'5.5"). Serafenas also picked up a top-ten finish, placing eighth.
The distance team provided the other two wins as junior Jake Albino (Hampton, N.Y./Minisink Valley) won the 1,500m run and freshman Hassan Omar (Frederick, Md./Thomas Johnson) claimed the 5,000m run. Albino paced the competition and pulled away on the final straight away, finishing in 4:00.55. Sophomore Eric Schuler (Columbia, Md./Reservoir) finished just three seconds back in fourth place.
In the 5k, Omar led a group of five Retrievers placing in the top-seven. The freshman crossed the line in a time of 15:00.18, with classmate Redatu Semon (Waldorf, Md./Thomas Stone) and junior Tom Eldridge (Rocky River, Ohio/Rocky River) taking third and fourth, respectively, and senior TJ Cowing (Severna Park, Md./Severna Park) and junior Brandan McGee (Hiram, Ohio/Crestwood) taking sixth and seventh.
In the sprints, senior Dennison Long (Greenbelt, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt/FIU) proved his versatility once again, earning top-five finishes in both the 100m and 200m dash events. In addition, he anchored the 4x100 relay team of Pat Balderson (Mount Airy, Md./Linganore), Dosu Teyibo (Silver Spring, Md./Barrie), and Jenove Blanfort to an IC4A-qualifying time of 42.47.
For the women, senior Amanda Deller (Aberdeen, Md./Aberdeen) made her return to the shot put competition by recording a season-best toss of 13.76m (45'1.75") to qualify for the ECAC meet next month.
Junior Cody Mezebish (Westminster, Md./South Carroll) posted a season-best time of 2:15.04 in the 800m run to place fourth.
In the 5,000m run, freshman Harmony Roche (Millersville, Md./Severn School) led a trio of Retrievers in the top-seven. Roche took fifth in the race with a time of 18:16.71, just ahead of sophomore Julie Gessler (Ellicott City, Md./Institute of Notre Dame) and freshman Nicole Dawson (Jessup, Md./Hammond) who finished sixth and seventh.
The Retrievers wrap up the invitational portion of their schedule with the Penn Relays next weekend. The three-day meet in Philadelphia begins on Thursday Apr. 25 at Franklin Field.

It's the Eastern Conference Semifinals, and the Knicks are rocking black sneakers for good luck. This is their shot. 1994: the year without Jordan. New York has to win now, while they can. Because whatever little fantasy MJ is living out at that moment – pretending to be a baseball player, Indian chief, astronaut, or whatever – they all know it won't last.
And the Knicks are winning the series 2-0, when the scuffle breaks out between Derek Harper and Jo Jo English in Game 3. These teams hate one another. Pippen and Charles Smith had technical fouls before the game even started. Now the benches clear quick.
The fight goes down to the ground on some bad jiujitsu. Arms and legs everywhere. John Starks is about to throw a punch when Phil Jackson grabs him from behind. They both get tackled into the stands, and security bodies Starks up. Ewing and Pippen play the old hold me back, hold me back game. And Pat Riley's not even mad until Derek Harper puts hands on coach's suit.
But the best part? David Stern sits a few mere rows from the melee. He's literally close enough to reach out and break up the fight himself, but he can't move. The commissioner just stares, bug-eyed, into his own personal slow motion disaster reel, as both teams crush the heavy spenders sitting courtside.
New York went on to win the series in 7 games, and Jordan returned to basketball the following season.

Nationals acquire INF Asdrubal Cabrera from Indians
The Washington Nationals today acquired 28-year-old infielder Asdrubal Cabrera and cash considerations from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for shortstop Zach Walters. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement.
Cabrera is a career .270 hitter (933-for-3460) with 211 doubles, 82 home runs, 290 walks and a .331 career on-base percentage in 914 games, spent exclusively with the Indians, spanning eight seasons (2007-14).
A two-time All-Star, Cabrera represented the Indians in the 2011 and 2012 All-Star games. His initial All-Star citation came in his finest offensive season, as he hit .273 and establishing career highs with 25 home runs, 60 extra-base hits and 92 RBI to garner a 2011 AL Silver Slugger citation. His on-field contributions have twice helped the Indians qualify for the postseason (2007, 2013).
A switch hitter, Cabrera performs almost evenly against both left and right-handed pitching. Although Cabrera has hit more than three times as many home runs against right-handed pitching (62 to 20), he owns a higher career OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) against lefthanders (.753 vs. left, .737 vs. right).
Cabrera has hit 11 home runs in 73 career games against competition from the National League.
Cabrera was batting .246 with 33 extra-base hits, including 22 doubles, at the time of the trade. With nine, he is just one home run shy of registering his fourth consecutive double-digit homer campaign.
Defensively, Cabrera has spent the vast majority of his career as a shortstop (730 games, .974 fielding percentage), but he has also played 162 games (149 starts) and amassed a .994 fielding percentage as a second baseman during his career with Cleveland.
Walters, 24, has hit .234 with three home runs and six RBI in 40 games for the Nationals the last two seasons. The switch-hitting Walters was originally acquired from the Diamondbacks on July 30, 2011 in exchange for right-handed pitcher Jason Marquis.

Code Snippet:
int Convertchar_wchar(char* pData, int pDataLength)
wchar_t wcsQuery[4096*2 + 2];
memcpy((void*)wcsQuery, pData, pDataLength)
wcout << wcsQuery << endl;
I am trying to execute the code for multilingual support. Hence I need to handle non-english languages on English OS(here Win2K3). Now the problem is when I pass any non english characters(I have tried with Japanese) instead of passing the non-english characters it is converting it to ?????. I have confirmed its not display problem but when memcpy is called the value inside is getting changed. The value being passed through char* pData is in the form of UNICODE value, still it is converting into wrong values.
Can some one help me to understand why memcpy is converting the value? Does memcpy internally uses default code page value? How can I pass the correct value to the wide char pointer?
I have already tried wcscpy, RtlCopyMemory. I am not sure what Code Page to pass if MultiByteToWideChar is used such that it will support all the languages.
Waiting for some input ASAP.

Abstract: We analyze the economic consequences of strategic delegation of the right to decide between public or private provision of governmental service and/or the authority to negotiate and renegotiate with the chosen service provider. Our model encompass both bureaucratic delegation from a government to a privatization agency and electoral delegation from voters to a government. We identify two powerfull effects of delegation when contracts are incomplete: The incentive effect increases the incentive part of service providers' remuneration and we show that strategic delegation may substitute formal incentive contracts. The bargaining effect improves the bargaining position vis a vis a private firm with market power and leads to a lower price for the service.

When a bad storm is bearing down on you, there's a long list of things you need to do. Some you know inside and out, such as get plenty of water, canned food, and batteries. But you probably don't give much thought to your cell phone. Consumer Reports has important advice to keep you connected.
Consider getting a prepaid phone on a network that's different from your main phone. Having access to two networks increases your chances of getting a signal. If calls aren't getting through, try texting. Texts can often get through when calls can't because the data demands are smaller. And for those who don't yet text, it's time to learn. If you have older family members, get them started! It's really important.
You also don't want your phone to go dead. So consider getting an extra battery that you can switch out when one dies. With phones that you can't swap out the battery, including the iPhone, consider getting a charging case, or "juice pack," that extends the life of the battery.
It's also important to conserve your phone's power. People don't realize that running apps can really drain a phone. On an iPhone, double press the home button and you'll see the running apps. Leave your finger on one of them until you see them quiver, then delete them by hitting the minus sign in the upper left-hand corner of the app. On most Android phones, hit the recent apps button to see the apps that are running. Then swipe them to the left to shut them down. Also lower the brightness of the screen and turn off Wi-Fi connections until you need them.
Those key moves before and during a storm can go a long way to keeping you connected. Consumer Reports says you might want to consider getting a battery-operated charger for your phone—just make sure you have plenty of batteries on hand. There are also hand-cranked chargers that take some effort but will help keep you powered up.
Complete Ratings and recommendations on all kinds of products, including appliances, cars & trucks, and electronic gear, are available on Consumer Reports' website.

Egypt sides with Israel in conflict with Hamas
CAIRO — An echo of the anti-Hamas rhetoric coming from Israel during its conflict with Gaza is resonating from what many would consider a surprising corner since fighting erupted July 8: Egypt.
A country whose leader just over a year ago had been a close Hamas ally is now one of its principal antagonists. It is stirring up public opinion against the militant group because Hamas is the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, which Egypt has outlawed.
Normally, Egyptians would be decrying Israel for the Palestinian death toll in Gaza, which is at more than 750 and rising. But Abou Ahmed Shehab, 60, who sells scarves at a sidewalk stand in central Cairo, was quick to attack Hamas.
"The reason for what's happening to our Palestinian brothers is because of Hamas," he says. "Hamas is an extremist group."
Last summer, the Egyptian military ousted Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed Morsi as president and jailed him. It branded the Islamist group a terrorist organization and threw thousands of its leaders and members in jail. Hundreds were killed as the Islamic movement became the focus of a security crackdown.
Since then, a military-backed government that is now led by Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who went from military strongman to elected president this past spring, has succeeded in stoking anti-Islamist sentiment among a large swathe of Egypt's public.Both state-run and privately owned media have helped fuel the anti-Hamas attitudes.
Hamas has "terrible policies and the outcomes of those policies are being felt by women and children," said taxi driver Medhat Kamel, 40, about civilian deaths in Gaza. "They rely on violence and don't use dialogue."
From a political standpoint, Hamas is criticized in Egypt for its "unwise ways" of managing the crisis with Israel, said Mustapha Al Sayyid, a political science professor at both Cairo University and the American University in Cairo. Last week, Hamas rejected an Egyptian cease-fire initiative, saying it wasn't consulted and the proposal wouldn't end an Israeli and Egyptian blockade of Hamas-ruled Gaza, which is suffering economically as a result.
Egypt's hostility toward Gaza may be one reason Hamas lamented last week that it feels "alone" in battling Israel without support from the Arab region.
Today's situation is different from 2012, the last conflict between Israel and Hamas. At the time, Morsi brokered a cease-fire that Hamas accepted.
Two years later, the Egyptian government, which has accused Hamas of helping militants attack soldiers and police in Egypt, is doinglittle to help the Palestinians. It's keeping its Rafah border crossing with Gaza closed, even preventing a humanitarian aid convoy from crossing.
Khaled Fahmy, chair of the history department at the American University in Cairo, has observed a sea change in public discussion about Hamas recently.
"There has been an alarming outpouring in the past two weeks, not only dumbing down and toning down criticism of Israel, but also — in fact — a very, very sharp increase in vitriolic, racist discourse against Palestinians and Hamas in particular," Fahmy said.
Last week, an Egyptian writer accused Hamas of militant violence in Egypt, and called on people in Gaza to rebel against the group.
"We are not going to support you going forward or have sympathy for you unless you get rid of the Hamas gang, which puts you in conflict with the world, Israel and the Egyptians," Adel Nouman wrote in an opinion piece for daily newspaper El Watan. "This is the stance of the Egyptian people."
Some went further, praising Israel's assault on Gaza.
"I'm telling the Israeli army, the Israeli people and the Israeli leaders: You are men," media personality and staunch adversary of political Islam, Tawfiq Okasha, declared in a TV broadcast.
Despite the Hamas bashing, support for Palestinians and hostility toward Israel have not disappeared from Cairo's streets.
Umm Youssef, 33, who was visiting from southern Egypt, said, "Egyptians and Palestinians are one people, one nation."

The Nez Perce Trail: Part IV
"Fight No More Forever"
Colonel John Gibbon's surprise attack on the Nez Perce camp in Big Hole, Montana, on August 9, 1877, did not produce the desired result. His U.S. Army soldiers killed many women, children, and elderly, in addition to some warriors, but he was driven back and pinned down by sharp shooters. By nightfall of the 10th, all surviving Nez Perce were gone and the battle was over (this is part four of the Nez Perce Trail series).
Until the Big Hole massacre, the Nez Perce were traveling relatively peacefully without going out of their way to attack settlers along the way. That changed with the battle of Big Hole. From that point on, they became offensive and went looking for revenge.
General Oliver Howard arrived in Big Hole the day after the battle ended. He found bodies from both sides scattered throughout the valley. His soldiers pursued the fleeing Indians into Camas Meadows. They were only a day behind and closing the gap. That all changed in the darkness of the night. Warriors doubled back and made off with 150 pack animals while the soldiers slept. The Army came to a stop and waited four days for supplies to come from Virginia City while the Nez Perce crossed into Yellowstone National Park.
Riding on Empty
Yellowstone National Park had been designated five years earlier and tourists were already visiting the area to enjoy its wonders. Some of those tourists were captured by the Nez Perce. Some were killed and others were set free. There were also ranchers, miners, and fur trappers who felt the wrath of the raiding parties. Many of the Indians who lost family at Big Hole were eager for revenge while others simply wanted to get out of the country.
With replenished supplies, Howard resumed his pursuit of the Nez Perce. He did not have women, children, and the elderly to slow him down, but he did have a problem with supplies. The Nez Perce were scaring off all the game they did not use and Howard was unable to feed his troops off the land. By the time he exited the east side of Yellowstone Park, he was no more than a couple days behind them, but his supplies were nearly gone
Howard thought he had another ace in the hole. His last telegraph had instructed Colonel Samuel Sturgis from Montana to box the Nez Perce in by blocking a canyon they were passing through. He did not know that Sturgis left the canyon before the Indians got to that point. When Howard exited the canyon, Sturgis was not there and the Nez Perce were long gone. Howard established a camp near Belfry, Montana, to wait for supplies.
Sturgis caught up to Howard at that camp. The colonel was verbally scorned for his failure and left camp in one last charge to catch the Nez Perce. He drove his troops hard and caught up to the Indians about 9 miles north of Laurel in Canyon Creek Canyon. Nez Perce warriors were waiting for him. They killed three of his soldiers and wounded twelve more. A few well-positioned sharp shooters kept him pinned down while the rest of the Indians continued heading north. The battle of Canyon Creek ended Sturgis' involvement in the fight. He hunkered down to wait for General Howard.
Cut Off
Howard had taken on a new tactic. He purposely slowed down his pace to encourage the fleeing Nez Perce to do the same. In the meantime, he contacted Colonel Nelson Miles in Miles City to get in front of the Indians and block their path to Canada.
Chief Joseph took the bait. They were only 40 miles from the border and if they had pushed forward, they would have made it to Canada. With Howard's troops no longer threatening him, Joseph brought his band to a stop at Bear Paw. His people were tired and many of them were sick or wounded. Many others tried to persuade him to continue, but with no immediate threat in sight, he refused.
On September 30, Miles attacked the Nez Perce. Both sides took heavy losses, but the Indians were trapped. The battles continued for five more days until Howard arrived with his soldiers. The Nez Perce had managed to kill 20 percent of Miles' forces, but they had not been able to get past him. With the new enforcements, what little headway the Nez Perce had gained was gone.
During the night, Chief White Bird and more than 200 of those fit for travel skirted past the Army and crossed the border into Canada. The next day Joseph surrendered and uttered his famous words: "From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."
Contrary to promises made, the captured Indians were not permitted to return to the Idaho reservation. Instead, they were sent to Oklahoma.
The Trail Today
The trail from Big Hole to Bear Paw is well documented in the guidebook Following the Nez Perce Trail, written by Cheryl Wilfong. Much of the Montana parts follow faint trails through remote country. Of course the part through Yellowstone is all paved and does not actually follow the path taken by the Indians or the army.
Lone Writer and Happy Jack followed the trail into the Missouri Breaks in Montana by way of a town called Winifred. They got within view of Cow Crossing at the Missouri River, but there is no bridge at that point. They backtracked to the Stafford Ferry but it was out of service due to floods earlier that year. They then attempted to cross the river by following the Lower Two Calf Road but the road was completely washed away at Two Calf Creek. All of that traveling took a lot of time, but it was well worth it. The dirt roads and two track trails in the Missouri Breaks offer spectacular views and great camping opportunities.
Lone Writer and Happy Jack finished their trip to Bear Paw by crossing the Missouri River at Judith Landing. After making that crossing, they picked up the Nez Perce Trail on the north side of the Missouri Breaks. The Bear Paw battlefield is located in a remote hilly area. There is a hiking path through the battlefield with historic markers along the way.

Miguel Olivo, former Rockies catcher, reportedly bites an ear off Dodgers teammate
Former Rockies catcher Miguel Olivo, now in the Dodgers organization playing for Triple-A Albuquerque, reportedly bit part of the ear off teammate Alex Guerrero in a dugout fight during a game Tuesday against Salt Lake.
Salt Lake Tribune reporter Steve Luhm reported that the game was halted in the eighth inning because of the fight. Then, later in the day, Fox's Jon Morosi cited agent Scott Boras who said part of Guerrero's ear had been bitten off and would require surgery.
Boras said that police are now involved. Find the Twitter updates below.
Olivo caught 110 games for the Rockies in 2010, his only year with the team. In his 13 years in the big leagues, Olivo has played with nine teams.
Salt Lake-Albuquerque game delayed briefly in the 8th inning. Fight between Isotope teammates seems to have broken out in the dugout.

Avenging Men
The male Avengers all showed for The Avengers premiere last night. I'll need some nerd help on the following: is Nick Fury considered an Avenger? I was picking all the pictures and excluded Tom Hiddleston because he doesn't qualify as Loki's a bad guy but how about Sam Jackson? (Easy you horny Hiddleston fans. I'll have a lot more Hiddleston for you after the weekend. And not just pictures either. Look out for it.)
As mentioned earlier, first reviews for The Avengers are largely positive. Some verge on the orgasmic.
So here they are, the men of The Avengers:
Robert Downey Jr, with his wife Susan, having just celebrated the birth of their son, meticulously manicured in a purple suit, very much part of the Hollywood Establishment now. This is the face of two mega mega franchises with two major studios. I feel like this is something we don't acknowledge enough. That RDJ has managed to redefine his celebrity identity. And for those of you who've been consumed with this sort of thing lately, would he actually risk that by sh-t talking? And how would that fit into his new list of priorities?
What will the combined box office of the Hemsworth brothers be in two years? Maybe this should be a discussion some time: Celebrity Brothers-Off featuring the Afflecks, Wilsons, Hemsworths, Coens, Wahlbergs, Jolie-Pitts, and I know I'm missing a few more but you see my point.
Second time this week that I'm down with what Chris Evans is wearing and how he's wearing it. Such an improvement over this.
Jeremy Renner picked the worst suit of the lot, I think. But I'd be afraid to tell him because he'll f-ck you up, motherf-cker. Jeremy Renner will f-ck you up.
And finally, the best of them all...
Mark Ruffalo.
He is the answer, always, to the question: Who do you love?
I love Mark Ruffalo so much.

Dear Readers: Of all the columns I've written, the one on the care and cleaning of the carpet in my home has generated by far the most interest and, shall I say, creative feedback! It's also had the most requests to reprint. Since you asked, here it is again. Enjoy!
I have a love/hate relationship with carpet. I love how it looks, but I hate dirty carpet. The thought of what lurks between those fibers gives me the heebie-jeebies. When it comes to keeping carpet clean and pristine, its two enemies are: 1) soap and 2) water. And guess what carpet cleaners use to clean carpet? Soap and water. The problem with the soap is that there is always a residue that remains. Most cleaners use way too much to start with, leaving no way to retrieve every last bit. Any soap left in the carpet becomes a sticky dirt magnet, which is a huge problem.
The problem with the water is that it is not extracted fully, which leaves the carpet wet for too long, causing it to mold and mildew. That sets you up for an icky mess. But, I am so proud to say, I've licked the problem. After more than 8 years, my carpet is still lovely. Pristine. Stain free. No paths, marks or problems. I owe it all to my Hoover SteamVac. This home steam-cleaning machine (cheaper than one visit from a carpet-cleaning company) is truly an amazing machine, but only because I have made a few adjustments to the way I use it. Let's just say I have slightly rewritten the owner's manual. Yes, I am a brave woman. First, I do not use any soap or cleaning liquid in the machine. None. Nada. I'm no fool. I know that I will never be able to get that soap out, no matter how hard I rinse. Instead, I use a good liquid spot remover to take care of spots as quickly as I can, when they happen. That is so important. I vacuum often, which is also important. Then every few weeks or months, I pull out my buddy, Hoover.
The instructions say to fill the top canister with hot water. I go one step further. I boil the water and pour it in there carefully, boiling hot. Do not worry. This is OK! After all, what do you think steam is? It's very, very, very hot water! Most home cleaners do not use the power of boiling water, but I do.
Now here's the bonus: Because the water is so hot and it gets sucked back up so quickly, the carpet dries in no time. I know, you are suspicious about this. But it is so true. Hoover has such a powerful extractor, I think I get up almost all of the water I lay down.
And the best part? No sticky residue — just the feel, look and smell of beautifully clean carpet. Yes, my Hoover SteamVac is the best thing I ever bought. NOTE: I do not suggest trying this on all steam cleaners. I have only done this with my Hoover SteamVac, which has tanks, not bladders. If your steam cleaner does not have a very sturdy tank, it's not wise to pour boiling water into it, is it?

Indians claim right-hander Whitenack off waivers
TORONTO -- The Indians added an arm to their farm system on Wednesday, claiming right-hander Robert Whitenack off waivers from the Cubs. Cleveland optioned the starter to Double-A Akron.
In order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster, the Indians transferred right-hander Frank Herrmann to the 60-day disabled list from the 15-day DL. Herrmann will miss all of this season while recovering from Tommy John ligament-replacement surgery on his throwing elbow.
Whitenack -- designated for assignment by Chicago on Monday -- went 19-18 with a 4.13 ERA in 69 career games in the Cubs' Minor League system. The 24-year-old was selected by the Cubs in the eighth round of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft.
Last season, Whitenack went 1-6 wth a 5.96 ERA in 15 outings for high Class A Daytona in his return from Tommy John surgery.
Whitenack went 7-0 with a 1.93 ERA in 11 starts between Daytona and Double-A Tennessee in 2011, putting himself in position to potentially reach the big leagues. That was before the elbow injury that led to season-ending surgery in June that summer.
Prior to the injury, Whitenack went 18-12 with a 3.77 ERA over 54 Minor League appearances.

|This is the article on the chapter. For the episode, head to Eyes That See in the Dark.
"Eyes that See the Darkness" (闇を見る眼, Yami o Miru Me, Viz: Eyes That See In The Dark) is chapter 574 of the original Naruto manga.
In the Konohagakure Intelligence Division, Karin feigns mental instability to lessen the guards attention to her, and begins plotting her escape with a lock-pick set hidden in her glasses and behind a portrait of Sasuke she managed to keep with her. Jūgo and Suigetsu learn about the war, near one of Orochimaru's hideouts. Jūgo questions Suigetsu's reasons to be part of Taka, and while the two argue, Jūgo's killing instinct kicks in, and he attacks Suigetsu. Suigetsu simply reforms and begins drowning Jūgo to subdue him. He notices that the attack revealed a secret room, where Suigetsu discovers important intelligence gathered by Orochimaru. Sasuke runs into a group of White Zetsu clones, who question his presence outside, and realise he's killed the original White Zetsu before attacking. Sasuke uses Susanoo and incinerates several of them. He interrogates one of the White Zetsu using genjutsu, and learns about the war and its purpose. Sasuke finishes the White Zetsu and decides to go kill Naruto. Sasuke is pleased with Itachi's eyes, and reminisces about him. Elsewhere, Itachi is on the move.

Your robot servant will use Gense's Amuze salad servers in the year 2200. Actually, let's be real; By then we will have evolved past eating food, but if you were some kind of future hipster you'd be into these pieces. For now you can just enjoy them on your regular old dinner table.
The well-designed stainless steel set costs $US56, and it's dishwasher safe. Gense has been designing cutlery for more than 150 years, but these particular pieces are ultra-modern. Although who's to say whether or not we'll need them in another 150 years. [Polyvore via YLiving]
