Richard Ryan, a professor of psychology, psychiatry, and education at the University of Rochester and co-founder of a leading theory of human motivation, has been selected for the 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Network on Personal Meaning.
The award recognizes more than three decades of both clinical and research contributions that advance health, spirituality, peace, and human fulfillment.
"Dr. Ryan was selected because of his outstanding contribution to research, practice, and theory development," said Paul T. P. Wong, INPM founder and chair of the selection committee. "His paper with Dr. [Edward] Deci on self-determination is now among the top 10 most cited psychology papers. He is one of the most influential psychologists in the world."
A practicing therapist and director of clinical training at Rochester, Ryan is also a widely published researcher and theorist with more than 250 articles, chapters, and books. Ryan and fellow Rochester psychology professor Deci developed in the 1980s Self-Determination Theory a basic theory of human motivation. At the heart of the theory is the principle that wellbeing depends in large part on meeting one's psychological needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness. This approach has been studied by psychologists at universities around the world and has been applied to an array of areas including health care, parenting, mental health, work organizations, and athletic settings.
Ryan's research has attracted funding from the National Cancer Institute, the National Institute of Health, the United StatesIsrael Binational Science Foundation, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, among others. He has given addresses at more than 70 universities worldwide and is a fellow of several professional organizations, including the American Psychological Association, the American Educational Research Association, the Society for Self and Identity, and the Society for Experimental Social Psychology. In 2008, he was awarded honorary membership in the German Psychological Society. Ryan has received James McKeen Cattell and Leverhulme fellowships, as well as other research and teaching awards.
Ryan earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Connecticut, and a doctorate in clinical psychology from Rochester, where he has been a member of the psychology department since 1981 and a professor of psychiatry and education since 2004.
The International Network on Personal Meaning is a multidisciplinary society founded by Wong in 1998 to promote psychological health and fulfillment through the universal human search for meaning. The network brings together high quality research on the myriad ways in which meaning contributes to the wellbeing of individuals and communities. Although its members hail largely from the fields of psychology and counseling, the network also connects professionals in medicine, nursing, clergy, social work, education, and management.
Ryan was presented the Lifetime Achievement Award on July 28 during the INPM's biennial conference in Toronto , where he also delivered the keynote address, "The Motivations Behind Meaning: A self-determination theory perspective."

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Stanford is off to a fast start in its attempt to get back to the NCAA championship game.
The No. 2 seed Cardinal beat UC Santa Barbara 74-39 in an opening-round game on Saturday night, getting double-doubles from Pacific-10 Conference player of the year Jayne Appel and freshman Nnemkadi Ogwumike. Appel had 15 points and 11 rebounds, and Ogwumike had 13 points and 11 rebounds.
Stanford (30-4) extended its winning streak to 17 games.
The Cardinal will face San Diego State on Monday night, with the winner advancing to the regionals at Berkeley. For Stanford, that would mean a trip across San Francisco Bay.
"I think we are really excited," Appel said. "But we are glad to get this first one done."
The Cardinal lost to Tennessee in last year's national title game, 64-48.
Stanford last won the NCAA title in 1992. For what it's worth, that tournament run began 17 years earlier to the day with an 82-73 win over the Gauchos on Stanford's home court.
"It's no surprise that the Stanford Cardinal are a pretty amazing team," UCSB coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. "I think we saw them on a pretty good night. They came out like one of the best teams in the country. I think they will be in this for a long time, maybe all the way to the finals."
Stanford made five 3-point shots in the first 11:30, including two apiece by Kayla Pedersen and Jeanette Pohlen, to race to a 20-11 lead. The Cardinal, the Pac-10 regular-season and tournament champion, finished the first half with a 16-0 run to lead 42-14.
"Hitting those shots helped us get in the game and relax," Pohlen said.
"We hit our shots, rebounded and took care of the ball really well early on," coach Tara VanDerveer said. "I think we can play better. We will have to do a better job on Monday."
San Diego State beat DePaul 76-70 to improve to 15-0 this season at Cox Arena, and ran its overall home winning streak to 17.
Whitney Warren had 10 points for the Gauchos (22-10).
Lauren Pedersen, who came in leading the Gauchos at 13 points a game, was held scoreless, going 0-for-8 from the floor.
Stanford outrebounded UC Santa Barbara 57-31.
It was the eighth time Stanford reached the 30-win mark, and the first in consecutive seasons.
In its on-going effort to draw awareness to breast cancer and to promote its research, the UCSB Athletics Department will sponsor "Pink Week" at three of its athletics events on Mar. 28, 2009. Three UCSB intercollegiate events, scheduled for Saturday, Mar. 28, have been desiganated "Pink Week" games. The women's tennis match, slated for 11 a.m. on the Robertson Gymnasium Courts, a softball doubleheader scheduled to start at 12 p.m. on Campus Diamond, and a 12 p.m. women's water polo match at Campus Pool will all be part of the effort.
"Pink Week" is part of UCSB Athletics' BE Great initiative.

How to Draw PT Concrete Slabs
From Draftsperson.net
The drafters drafting survival guide to pre-stressed/post-tensioned concrete slabs.
By Allan Wise
Please note: This information has been compilied by drafters working in the Australian PT concrete slab industry. This information may apply to other countries/systems.
Disclaimer this is information is for a guide only. While this article was complied by drafters actively involved in PT drafting, errors or mis-understandings may occur, please contact the editors, if you notice a mistake, or would like to contribute to this article.
Sample of an Engineering PT slab drawing
Download this sample AutoCAD 2000 format 68kb
PT: A method of pre-stressing reinforced concrete with tendons tensioned when the concrete reaches a specific strength.
TENDON: An bundle of strands.
STRANDS: A single wire in a tendon. Think of the chords that make the rope.
DUCT: The tube in which the tendons fit.
ANCHORAGE The end dangle bits on the duct that 'anchor' it all into the concrete. Commonly at one end is the live end anchor and the other the dead end anchor.
What do the Symbols Mean?
The Two Main Systems of Stressing
1. Mono-Strand System – Strand stressed individually, usually an oval shaped duct with rectangular shaped anchorages. The most common system used for stressing slabs.
2. Multi-Strand System – All strands stressed simultaneously, usually a round duct with square shaped anchorages.

Sharp Aquos LC-37G4U 37-inch LCD HDTV Monitor
Although flat-panel LCD TVs have been hanging around even longer than plasma models, their small-size screens have garnered less attention. But things changed in the past year: LCD TVs started zooming up in size, undoing the myth that the technology is good only for small displays in the kitchen, bedroom, or office. Today, you can find flat-panel LCD TVs plenty big enough for home theater use. The widescreen, 37-inch LC-37G4U, a step down from Sharp's largest LCD models, boasts a resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels and comes with a separate A/V switching and control box, a set of detachable speakers, and a table stand that pivots about 30° in either direction. All the pieces have a high-tech, silver finish.
The external AVC System, or A/V switching and control box, is about the size of a DVD player and has pretty much every type of connection you'll need to hook up high-def sources like a satellite receiver or cable box, including the new all-digital HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) and DVI (Digital Visual Interface) inputs. There are also dual RF antenna jacks for tuning in analog off-air TV broadcasts and cable programs - you'll need a separate HDTV tuner to receive off-air digital broadcasts. About the only thing that seems to be missing is an S-video jack. There is one, but it's located beneath a front-panel door that also conceals a PC Card slot for viewing digital photos stored on flash memory.
Sharp's slim, silver-toned remote control is packed with buttons but has a clean layout and a fully backlit keypad. Once I located the important controls, like Input and View (display) Mode, it was easy to find them again in a dark room. To switch sources, you press Input and either scroll through a list of options using the arrow keys or step through them by pressing the button again.

Water quality monitoring is the measurement or observation of a waterway over time. It allows people to assess water conditions and to determine if waters can support aquatic life. Monitoring data can be used to inform and educate about the conditions of local creeks and streams. Monitoring data can also be used to identify pollution problems.
The Water Watch Program is a fun way to learn about water quality while spending some time in the creek. Learn about our local waterways and what makes a stream healthy.
The Water Watch workshop is scheduled for:
Date: Saturday, September 10, 2011
Time: 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Location: 2147 Bethabara Road, Historic Bethabara Park (meet in the Visitors Center parking lot)
Volunteers are provided with all necessary equipment. Please dress with safety in mind (long pants to protect against scratches, closed toe shoes or boots to protect feet from sharp objects in the creek) There is no cost for the workshop, though participants are asked to volunteer to monitor a creek twice a year and report on their findings.
This program is sponsored by the City of Winston-Salem's Stormwater/Erosion Control Division and the NC Cooperative Extension of Forsyth County. Space is limited.
To register, please call (336) 747-6960.

(Look for Part 1 of this series HERE!)
Of course, there are plenty of individuals—and couples—who haven't waited until the last minute to seek help. These people want to be proactive about their concerns. Some people simply need some clear, unambiguous information about human sexuality. A surprising number of people are trying to piece together their sexual lives, but are hampered by misconceptions and misinformation.
Sometimes a momentous event motivates a person to address arising sexual or intimacy issues. The birth of a child, a disease process, a death in the family, or an accident can fundamentally alter the power dynamic of a relationship, which will require a rethinking of the entire relationship.
Or perhaps someone comes to a new realization about him or herself: Perhaps they are finally able to acknowledge their bisexuality, or that he's gay, or she's a lesbian. Maybe they are finally able to acknowledge a fetish—he's a crossdresser, or she's into another kink. Things like this obviously impact the individual, but if that person is in a relationship, the relationship is also affected. People in these self-revelatory situations are often unsure how to talk about their discoveries with a partner, which is another reason they seek counseling.
Some couples don't fret when the sex vanishes from the relationship; other couples are devastated. What does one do when one partner still has sexual needs, but the other doesn't? Often, there are unexplored options that can hold the relationship together, but will address the disparity in sexual interest and desire.
In this case, I can help the couple make compromises without losing their moral compass. Some couples navigate this with ease; others not so much. It can be extremely challenging, but there are ways to preserve what's sacred about a primary relationship, while contemplating opening the relationship to include others. I can help a couple establish guidelines and ground rules for making the necessary adjustments.
Sometimes the relationship is really wonderful and fun. The couple really loves each other, but they've noticed their sex life together is pretty boring and stale. I'm often approached to simply help a couple spice things up. In this instance, my work is sheer joy. Mostly, I just give them permission to experiment and have fun.
You've probably noticed that a good portion of the work that I do as a sex therapist is merely giving permission. That may not sound like therapy at all, but when you consider that our sex-negative culture is so full of prohibitions; permission giving is often the front line of sexual rehabilitation. Most of the permissions I give are for an individual to educate him or herself about his or her body and his or her sexual response cycle. Personal exploration, such as masturbation, is the very best means to that education. I'm a huge proponent of partners masturbating together.
Happily, our need to reacquaint and reeducate ourselves about our bodies and our sexual response cycle is a life-long process. There is always something new to explore. As we age, our bodies change, and if we don't keep up with those changes, we can become frustrated and disoriented. Older people, menopausal women and andropausal men, take longer to build up "a head of sexual steam," so to speak. If they're not attuned to the changes they're going through, they can easily miss the important cues their body is sending to slow down and enjoy the sensuality.
Of course, I could go on and on, but now I want to leave you with what is the distillation of years my thinking about the role sexuality plays in our life:
I believe that sex is like food. We can enjoy it alone, or with others. We can be abstemious, or gluttonous. We can nosh or nibble; dine or devour. And we can be certain there will be both times of feast and famine.
Sex is like food. It can nourish and sustain us, or it can make us sick. We can consume all the available bounty, or restrict our diet. It can completely satisfy, or leave us devastatingly empty. We can employ it to express our highest aspirations, or allow it to rob us of our soul. We can give it as a gift, or use it as a weapon. It can be both bacchanal and sacrament.
One thing is for sure, whether purely physical or transcendentally spiritual, no one can live without food…or sex.

The governments of four African countries and several international organizations are calling on the WTO cotton subcommittee to move more aggressively in abolishing subsidies by industrialized nations.
In a policy declaration following a conference in Benin, the countries said the elimination of cotton subsidies and other "price-distorting factors would lead to higher cotton prices in the short run and spur production in non-subsidizing countries."
That leaders from the four African countries — Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad and Mali — would make such a statement is not surprising. They've been making such claims since a Wall Street Journal reporter gave them a world platform.
What is is that representatives from France, Japan and the United States, the European Community, World Bank, World Trade Organization and the International Monetary Fund would join in supporting allegations that have little basis in fact.
The declaration from the Benin Cotton Conference spreads the blame for declining cotton prices: euro-dollar exchange rate movements (accounting for a 20 percent drop in local cotton prices); distortions in global agricultural trade; and a surge in output from other developing countries including China, Brazil, India and Pakistan. But the continued focus on industrial country subsidies and the WTO cotton subcommittee is troubling.
Since the subcommittee was established in the July 2004 Framework Agreement of the WTO's Doha Round, U.S. cotton industry leaders have argued that the panel's activities should be limited to an advisory role.
The four African countries and the representatives of France, Japan, the United States, the WTO, the World Bank, the IMF and other international organizations attending the conference obviously view the subcommittee's role differently.
Calling for separate treatment for cotton subsidies in the Doha Round negotiations would be a serious mistake, according to Mark Lange, National Cotton Council president and CEO.
"The proposal is based on a faulty assumption that their current economic troubles are due to the presence of the U.S. cotton program even though a number of independent analyses have attributed only marginal price impacts of 2 percent or less to the U.S. program," said Lange.
"The proposal does nothing to address serious distortions that exist in international trade in textiles and apparel which are at the center of low prices faced by world cotton producers. There is no meaningful textile proposal in the document."
Lange said the proposal would actually introduce more subsidies — a new internationally funded subsidy program to be provided only to certain African countries and administered by the WTO.
"The U.S. cotton program is not the source of economic hardship for farmers in African countries; rather their continued reliance on a monopolistic, parastatal ginning and marketing system," Lange says.
"African farmers need assistance in improving agronomic practices, establishing a reliable classing system, improving infrastructure and ginning, privatization of marketing and distribution and assistance in building expanded markets."
He could have added that some realistic advice — and better economic analyses — from international banking organizations and foreign governments might help, too.

Cabbage kootu
Kootu is a very easy and healthy dish. A lot of vegetables can be prepared this way and it goes well with both chapathi and rice. I usually make kootu with chayote squash, cabbage, snake gourd, yellow squash and spinach.
Cabbage (chopped) - 2 cups
Tomato (chopped) - 1/2
Moong dal - 2 tbsp
Green chilly - 2
Coconut (shredded) - 2 tbsp
Cumin seeds (jeera) - 1 tsp
Salt - as needed
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Split urad dal - 1 tsp
Asafoetida - a pinch
Oil - 1 tsp
Pressure cook the cabbage, tomato, moong dal and one slit green chilly with 1 cup of water for one whistle. Grind the coconut, one green chilly and jeera with 2 tbsp water. After the pressure has subsided, open the pressure cooker, add salt and heat the pressure cooked cabbage till all water evaporates. Add the ground mixture and cook till the raw smell disappears (about 5min). Heat 1 tsp oil in a small pan and add the seasoning ingredients. Remove from heat when the mustard starts to splutter and then add it to the cabbage pan. Serve hot with rice or roti.

This book reminds me that I saw hippos in the Bronx Zoo. It was funny when the hippos laid down in the goldfish pool. I thought that after, when Robert swallowed the pill, that dozens of elephants would follow him.
I think if someone likes hippos they should read this book.

We can't tell if its the looks, or the lookbook's regular BMOC (Big Man On Campus), but we can't find a single misstep in Scotch & Soda's latest men's collection. For fall, the Dutch import has changed some things up — like narrowing their proportions and diversifying their textures — but their classically autumnal palette keeps the leaf-changing season familiar.
From the bright tomato anorak to the deep evergreen pea coat, all the outerwear is offered up in full, stunning saturation. With many exceptions (i.e. the whale blue dyed chambray shirt or the dusty taupe jumper), things begin lighten up in the layers, like the slender peach and pink wovens, or the limber-collared lumber jack oxford. These in-between pieces provide great, super-necessary contrasts to the more rough-and-tough, in-your-face bold numbers, making for a range that's so staple but not snoozy, with easy (easy) items that guys can wear day after day after day, whether they're on the quad or in a square-shaped office. It almost makes you forget that 'tis the season of the dreaded nipple tank, no? (Dude on the 3rd floor, we're talking to you.)
Stream the slideshow for the dude-approved pieces that ladies love, too .

9 top holiday markets around the U.S.
Get ready for mulled wine and twinkling lights One of the best parts about living in a city during the holidays is the festive nature of it all: The lights, the decorations, and the hustle and bustle of locals rushing to holiday parties wearing ugly sweaters and weighed down by presents. But another tradition?the outdoor holiday market?has emerged as a key event in cities across America.
Borrowed from the European tradition, the outdoor holiday market is modeled after long-standing events like Christkindlesmarkt in Nuremburg, Germany. Arguably the most famous Christmas market in Europe, Christkindlesmarkt offers more than 180 wooden stands full of handcrafted ornaments, games, and treats and runs from late November to December 24.
The American version looks a bit more contrived and more corporate, sometimes featuring big time sponsors like banks. But the main elements of the European holiday market are there?think twinkling lights, wooden stalls, steaming cups of Gluehwein (mulled hot wine) and most importantly, an outdoor location. It doesn?t matter if it?s cold, and in fact, sometimes that?s the point. If a trip to Europe isn?t in the cards this holiday season?and let?s be frank, for most of us that?s unlikely?don?t fret. We?ve rounded up the 9 best holiday markets around the country, so you too can experience the joy of sipping hot wine on a cold winter night in a city you love. Bonus: Many of the markets are free and all of them are family friendly.

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station successfully grappled and berthed Orbital Sciences Corp's Cygnus "Orb-1" capsule early Sunday, marking the Dulles, Va. based company's first cargo delivery under the provisions of an eight-flight, $1.9 billion Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) agreement with NASA in effect through 2016.
U.S. and Japanese astronauts Mike Hopkins and Koichi Wakata, positioned at a control post in the station's cupola observation deck, captured the unpiloted, 10,000-pound spacecraft using the station's 58-foot-long Canadian-built robot arm at 6:08 a.m., EST, following a thre- day "stair step" series of rendezvous maneuvers that began with Thursday's lift off of the Antares/Cygnus rocket and cargo carrier from Virginia's Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport.
The commercial freighter, with its 2,780 pounds of provisions, science and experiment hardware, computer equipment and spacewalk tools, was maneuvered to a berthing with the station's U.S. segment Harmony module by the two robot arm operators and secured at 8:05 a.m., EST.

Access to the capsule by the ISS crew was planned for late Sunday or early Monday. In addition to a commercial fleet of 28 Earth-observing nanosats for Planet Labs of San Francisco, some of the science delivery includes an assortment of 23 student experiments, among them a live ant study, to encourage youthful interest in the science, technology, engineering and math fields. Other provisions included an assortment of fresh food and holiday gifts.
The capsule, named for the late NASA astronaut and test pilot C. Gordon Fullerton, will remain berthed to the station until Feb. 18. It will depart with trash for a destructive re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.
Rendezvous and capture operations aboard the six-person orbiting science laboratory began Sunday, shortly after 1 a.m., EST, as Cygnus began a series of precise close in rendezvous maneuvers coordinated by NASA's Mission Control in Houston, Orbital's flight control center in Dulles and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency in Tsukuba.
"The snares are open, and we have a great view of the vehicle," Hopkins reported, with the freighter just over 1,000 meters from the ISS, shortly after 4 a.m., EST. The "snares" are the internal grapple mechanism within the tip of the robot arm.
The capsule closed to a separation of 250 meters, a critical "go-no go" point in the rendezvous activities by 5 a.m., EST, well ahead of schedule. Orb-1 began its advance again at 5:17 a.m., and shortly afterwards Hopkins and Wakata performed a successful check of their ability to remotely control the spacecraft, including the issuance of an abort command if necessary to avoid a collision. Cygnus reached 30 meters separation, a hold point, at 5:44 a.m., EST, and then closed to the capture point at 10 meters below the station.
Originally scheduled for a December lift off, the Orb-1 mission was delayed by a Dec. 11, ISS thermal control system flow control valve failure that prompted a pair of contingency pre-Christmas spacewalks by Hopkins and NASA's Rick Mastracchio; a January blast of cold weather at the Wallops Island launch site; and concerns over the radiation environment in Earth orbit from high solar activity last week as the Antares launch vehicle awaited lift off.
"You've got to stay flexible, persistent and pay attention to details," noted Frank Culbertson, Orbital's executive vice president and general manager of advanced programs.
Orbital joined SpaceX, of Hawthorne, Calif., as an approved ISS U.S. commercial re-supply service last September-October, as the Dulles firm completed an ISS demonstration mission flown under NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services program.
Orb-1 marks the first of eight multi-national ISS cargo missions anticipated in 2014. Orbital Sciences is preparing additional missions of its own in early May and late October. Those are to set the stage for the inaugural launch of a Cygnus upgrade, which will increase the cargo carrying capability of the freighter by an estimated 600 to 700 kilograms, or 1,300 to 1,600 pounds. The debut is anticipated by mid-2015.
Russia's Progress 54 cargo mission is tentatively set for a Feb. 5 lift off. SpaceX is to follow on Feb. 22 with the launch of its third CRS flight.
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station successfully grappled and berthed Orbital Sciences Corp's Cygnus "Orb-1" capsule early Sunday, marking the Dulles, Va. based company's first cargo delivery under the provisions of an eight-flight, $1.9 billion Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) agreement with NASA in effect through 2016.

Elizabeth Bishop was born on February 8, 1911, in Worcester, Massachusetts. When she was less than a year old, her father died, and shortly thereafter, her mother was committed to a mental asylum. Bishop was first sent to live with her maternal grandparents in Nova Scotia and later lived with paternal relatives in Worcester and South Boston. She earned a bachelor's degree from Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1934.
Bishop was independently wealthy, and from 1935 to 1937 she spent time traveling to France, Spain, North Africa, Ireland, and Italy and then settled in Key West, Florida, for four years. Her poetry is filled with descriptions of her travels and the scenery that surrounded her, as with the Florida poems in her first book of verse, North & South (Houghton Mifflin), published in 1946.
She was influenced by the poet Marianne Moore, who was a close friend, mentor, and stabilizing force in her life. Unlike her contemporary and good friend Robert Lowell, who wrote in the Confessional style, Bishop's poetry avoids explicit accounts of her personal life and focuses instead with great subtlety on her impressions of the physical world.
Her images are precise and true to life, and they reflect her own sharp wit and moral sense. She lived for many years in Brazil, communicating with friends and colleagues in America only by letter. She wrote slowly and published sparingly (her Collected Poems number barely one hundred), but the technical brilliance and formal variety of her work is astonishing. For years she was considered a "poet's poet," but with the publication of her last book, Geography III (Chatto and Windus), in 1977, Bishop was finally established as a major force in contemporary literature.
She received the 1956 Pulitzer Prize for her collection, Poems: North & South/A Cold Spring (Houghton Mifflin, 1955). Her Complete Poems (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1969), won the National Book Award in 1970. That same year, Bishop began teaching at Harvard University, where she worked for seven years.
Elizabeth Bishop was awarded an Academy Fellowship in 1964 for distinguished poetic achievement, and served as a Chancellor from 1966 to 1979. She died in her apartment at Lewis Wharf in Boston on October 6, 1979, and her stature as a major poet continues to grow through the high regard of the poets and critics who have followed her.

The estimated production is 996 pieces with an estimated date of late June or early July. So, if interested in getting your hands on one of these sweet things, pre-orders can be submitted ASAP.

Kurma means Tortoise in Sanskrit and is the second of the 10 ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu. There is only one temple in the world dedicated to the Kurma Avatar of Lord Vishnu and it is the famous Sri Kurmanatha temple at Srikurman in Andhra Pradesh. The idol of Kurma worshipped in temple represents the head and body of a tortoise. The idol consists of two feet long two scared stones coming out of the ground.
The Kurma incarnation of Lord Vishnu is associated with the myth of the churning of the cosmic ocean (Samudra Manthan). The temple is believed to have been built before 2nd century AD and it is believed that the temple was revived by Sri Ramanuja Acharya. The temple underwent huge renovation in the 11th century and is noted for its sculptures and architecture. The temple is mentioned in numerous Puranas like Padma Purana, Brahmanda Purana.
Apart from being the only temple dedicated to the Kurma incarnation of Lord Vishnu, the deity installed in the temple has its back to the entrance. It is said that the Lord Kurma turned around to give darshan to one of his ardent devotee, a gypsy who was a low caste.
Another highlight of the temple is the Swetha Puskarani, a scared lake noted for its curative properties.
Sri Kurmanatha temple is located about 18 km southeast of
in Andhra Pradesh. Srikakulam Town

Warning Shadows
Home Alone With Classic Cinema
Gary Giddins
W.W. Norton: 416 pp., $18.95
Gary Giddins is well known for his writing about music — he was a Village Voice jazz columnist for three decades, and his books, among them the biography " Bing Crosby: A Pocketful of Dreams," are revered. His writing about movies gets less attention only because he does less of it. "Warning Shadows: Home Alone With Classic Cinema" is his first book devoted exclusively to movies, and it makes me wish that the New York Sun — the short-lived (2002-08) newspaper where many of the essays making up the book first appeared — were still around, if only so he'd still be reviewing DVDs regularly. His film pieces — witty, informed and insightful — are an absolute pleasure to read.
Giddins is as much of a fan as a critic, and since he's not a daily film reviewer, he hasn't been beaten down by constant exposure to insufferable movies. It's a mark of his enthusiasm that "Warning Shadows" makes me want to watch or re-watch nearly every movie he discusses. That includes Disney's insane-sounding 1945 musical "The Three Caballeros" featuring Donald Duck, Carmen Miranda's sister Aurora and Doña Luz as a disembodied head.
The book begins with a new essay tracing, with regret, cinema's century-long migration "from Radio City Music Hall to streaming laptops." The rest of the pieces cover directors, stars, genres and individual films.
Giddins is especially good at assessing the totality of an artist's work. Hitchcock's films "have achieved something better than timelessness; the older they get, the more astutely they function as social critiques." John Ford "earns his patriotism by seeing through veils of vast sadness; he understood why America is worth dying for and even forgiving, which can be a tougher chore." The "handsomeness" of Ingmar Bergman's work "is itself dramatic, compensating for the occasionally sluggish pans, logical lapses and 'whither God?' meditations." As for Samuel Fuller: "You can either fend his films off with invocations of logic and good taste, or give yourself up to his mania for truth, justice, and the American way."
Giddins' observations about actors' strengths and significance are consistently keen and often stingingly funny. James Stewart "brought something new" to the western: "the battle-scarred victim of treachery who overcomes obstacles of nature and villainy while rediscovering his own scabbed-over core of decency. Before Mel Gibson, Stewart may have been the most shot, whipped, beaten, betrayed, and left-for-dead movie star in Hollywood history."
By the time Joan Crawford starred in "Torch Song" in 1953, he writes, her "lipstick no longer followed the contours of her lips and her characters no longer followed the rules of humble humanity. If self-parody became her, [the 1934 film] 'Sadie McKee' is a reminder that there was something worth parodying — something intrepid, insubordinate, and incorruptible."
Unsurprisingly, Giddins pays close attention to movies' use of music. He notes "the humid saxophone glissando that became ubiquitous in melodramas of the 1950s. Whenever a doll gets flirtatious or has too much to drink or wanders into a bad part of town, cue the alto — a sultry, ascending little lick, jazz's putative contribution to moral unrest." He adores musicals but isn't above slaughtering some sacred cows: Everything Rodgers and Hammerstein touched, he says, "turned to dessert."
His jazz background enables him to make fascinating historical asides, as when describing a three-minute scene with Duke Ellington in the 1930 blackface Amos 'n' Andy vehicle "Check and Double Check": "Ellington wanted Bing Crosby and the Rhythm Boys to handle the vocal part, but as the producers would not allow white singers to share the stage with a black band, a mike was set up for the trio to sing behind a curtain and three band members lip-synched their chorus for the camera, prefiguring the climax of 'Singin' in the Rain.' "
The lead essay (as well as several other pieces) mourns what is lost now that we do more and more of our movie watching at home. The elegiac tone is set by the book's dedication page, which salutes nearly three dozen of New York's bygone movie theaters. Giddins' disappointment can make him sound like a scold: "Nothing in the history of America's long disregard for its schizophrenic architectural style is more disheartening than the wanton destruction of these magnificent tributes to art and monopoly."
But Giddins is actually ambivalent. He realizes that DVDs and streaming allow us to watch our favorite films pretty much whenever we want and that the popularity of DVDs has led to the discovery of forgotten gems. (The book takes its title from that of "a little-remembered marvel of German Expressionism" from 1923, first released on DVD in 2006.) And while home video is no substitute for the theatrical experience — "only in a crowd is the viewer borne away on waves of joy and sorrow and recognition," Giddins writes — it's certainly an undeniable joy, one that keeps cinema's past alive.
"With its glorious vistas, clanking battles, luminous colors, thumping Miklós Rózsa music, and haunting climax, unfolding in 70-mm grandeur like a living tapestry, it was cinema as circus — an enveloping, emotional, big-movie event," Giddins writes of Anthony Mann's "El Cid." "The DVD, good as it is (a clean 35-mm transfer with stable colors, impenetrable blacks, vivid audio), can no more replicate that experience than a gift-shop poster can capture a Vermeer. But it's a lovely alternative."
Levi is co-author of "The Film Snob's Dictionary."

text: London - Proteas team manager Mohammed Moosajee has said Kevin Pietersen's controversial texts to members of the Proteas squad were just "banter" after claims he criticised England captain Andrew Struass and Andy Flower.Pietersen was dropped from the England team for the crucial final Test which starts at Lord's on Thursday after he refused to reveal the contents of the texts, which he sent during the drawn second Test at Headingley earlier this month.The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) had told Pietersen his selection depended on him confirming publicly that no derogatory texts had been sent to the opposition or if they had been sent then he had to publicly apologise for them.When South Africa-born Pietersen refused to respond to the ECB's request, he was axed and the 32-year-old's international career is now in tatters.But Moosajee played down the content of the texts and said the messages contained nothing more than "banter".He also refuted suggestions Dale Steyn and AB de Villiers were the two South Africans Pietersen had texted."There has been untruthful allegations in the media implicating members of our squad in the current issue between Kevin Pietersen and the ECB," Moosajee said on Monday."We stand by the same stance we have taken since we heard the news about these allegations. Yes, text messages were sent but like we said before it was banter among team-mates, which is perfectly acceptable."The ECB has not made a formal approach to myself or any member of the team to see the text messages, as currently reported in the media."Allegations that Dale Steyn and AB de Villiers were the recipients of the texts are unfounded. Until such time that the allegations are met with the correct facts and evidence, we shall not comment."The internal issue between Kevin Pietersen and the English cricket board has been publicised for weeks, even before we arrived in the UK, and we don't want to get ourselves involved in an issue that has nothing to do with us."

A 77-year-old woman was mortally injured when she and her husband were struck by a car slowly backing out of a Palatine driveway near their home, police said tonight.
Jieru Chen and her husband were walking on the 400 block of North Hicks Road about noon Wednesday when a 42-year-old woman was slowly backing her 1998 Chevrolet Malibu out of a private driveway at an apartment complex, according to a Palatine police news release.
The driver said she did not see anyone or feel the car strike anything, but when she looked to her left she saw the man and woman, both 77, lying on the ground outside the driver's side door, police said.
While the victim's husband attended to his wife, the driver called 911 and remained on scene. Preliminary information indicates Chen had hit her head on the pavement when she fell while moving out of the way of the car or when she was bumped into by the vehicle at a very slow speed, police said.
Palatine Fire Department personnel took Chen to Northwest Community Hospital, and she later was airlifted to Lutheran General Hospital -- where she succumbed to her injuries at 11:33 a.m. today.
The incident is under investigation by the Palatine Police Technical Accident Reconstruction Unit, and no citation information was immediately released.
An autopsy for Chen, of the 400 block of Baldwin Street in Palatine, is expected to be performed Friday, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Gelfand said that one client came from New York City to deliver Godiva chocolates as a pick-me-up. Others have brought baked ziti, soup and pizza. "People just care," Gelfand said. "It's overwhelming sometimes."
He noted that the clinic is only a block east of Long Beach's West End, a neighborhood of one- and two-story homes that were once summer bungalows, known as a close-knit community where everyone knows everyone else. Now, construction debris is piled so high in front of homes that the neighborhood resembles a war zone.
"We lost a business. They lost their lives. That's not a relative comparison," said Gelfand.
He said that he and Geltman plan to rebuild their business. "We're going to douse this place and rebuild from there," Gelfand said. "The power washers are waiting."
And, he said, they're hurrying to get the business back to normal so they can rehire the employees they had to temporarily lay off because they no longer have the facilities they did, such as their kennel. Before the storm, they had 28 employees. Now they are down to seven.
One of those who stayed on is Monique Entes, a veterinary technician whose West End home was destroyed by floodwaters. "I lost one home," said Entes, her voice tinged with sorrow. Of All Creatures, she added, "I lost a second home."
When she first arrived at the hospital after the storm, she said, "I had to walk out for a couple of minutes. I just started to cry. I love everything we do. I love our clients. It's been a lot of work –– 13-hour days. It's worth it. I love this place. I believe in this place."
"This town is going to come back," Gelfand said of Long Beach. "We're going to be what we always were."

A total of 25 scouts representing 22 NFL teams were on hand at Ole Miss' annual Pro Day Monday, including former Rebel Von Hutchins, now with the Oakland Raiders organization. Donte Moncrief, who participated in the 2014 NFL Combine, did not participate in all of the drills Monday. He measured in and then ran routes and caught passes in position drills.
Pierce Burton, who started at right tackle in all 26 games of his Ole Miss career, said he made the most of his opportunity Monday. He said he ran in the 5.1 range in the 40-yard dash and benched 225 pounds 26 times.
"I'm just trying to make an NFL team," Burton said. "That's what it's all abut. I have been hearing late rounds to priority free agent, so I hopefully I held my status today."
Barry Brunetti, who played in 29 games with two starts at quarterback, went through workout drills and then participated with the running backs and receivers during position drills. He said he has heard safety, running back, slot receiver and maybe even tight end as possible positions for him at the next level.
"I had personal records in some of the tests," Brunetti said. "I didn't get a chance to throw, but I got a chance to show some of my versatility at receiver and show that I can catch the ball. I have been working at running back and some receiver, but mostly running back. That was one of my first times through at receiver. Overall, I had a good day."
Here's an update with some official numbers from NFL.com's Gil Brandt:
Scouts from five NFL teams, as well as a coach from one -- Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers coach Bob Bicknell -- watched 18 players work out at Ole Miss' pro day Monday. The workouts took place indoors and on field turf.
Donte Moncrief, who participated at the NFL Scouting combine, was among the 18 players who worked out, but three others looked like they were good enough to bring to camp as free agents.
Donte Moncrief, WR: Moncrief was weighed and measured (6-foot-2 3/8, 219 pounds) and did position drills only. Scouts said that he looked very, very impressive.
Jeff Scott, RB: Scott measured in at 5-6, 165 pounds, and posted times of 4.49 and 4.47 in the 40-yard dash. He'll probably be a free agent.
Michael Marry, LB: Marry (6-2 1/4, 256 pounds) ran a 4.96 in the 40. He also posted a vertical jump of 30 inches and a broad jump of 9 feet, 4 inches. He'll be a free agent only.
Charles Sawyer, CB: Sawyer (5-10 7/8, 186 pounds) ran a 4.56 in the 40 and posted a vertical jump of 37 inches and a broad jump of 9 feet, 2 inches.
Stay tuned to NFL.com's Gil Brandt and NFL.com's pro day reports for more from Ole Miss pro day. The NFL Draft is May 8-10.
