BLAINE - The Pottawatomie Sheriff's Office says two men who died when communications towers collapsed were from Missouri.
The victims of Tuesday's collapse were 38-year-old Martin Powers, of St. Charles, Mo., and 25-year-old Seth Garner, 25, of St. Peters, Mo. They were contract workers for Wireless Horizon.
They died when the Union Pacific communications towers collapsed near Blaine in northeast Kansas, about 50 miles northwest of Topeka.
Officials say one of the towers was recently built and the other was an older structure that was being dismantled by the two workers who died.
Both men were more than 250 feet above the ground when the tower fell. One died at the scene and the other at a hospital.

When it comes to picking a college, what is more important: cost or reputation?
Continue Reading Below
U.S. News and World Report released its annual rankings of the nation's top schools for 2013, but as tuition prices continue to rise, student loan debt reaches new records and job prospects remain weak upon graduation, the decision-making process has become more complicated.
Ivy League schools Princeton, Harvard and Yale took the top three spots on the national list of nearly 1,800 institutions. Williams College, Amherst College and Swarthmore College came in the top three spots for liberal arts schools this year, according to the findings.
Students and parents are more engaged in the college selection process, taking into consideration "any and all information" regarding higher education than in the past, says Isabel Sawhill, senior fellow at the Brookings Institute. She adds that the U.S. News and World Report list is so well-known it is unlikely it will fade from the scene anytime soon, however the clout these rankings traditionally carry may fade as cost plays more of a role.
"We have discovered people are spending a huge amount of money on higher education without having a good idea about what they are getting for their money," Sawhill says. "That has caused the president to put forward a new proposal, which says we need a new college ratings system."
President Obama asked the Department of Education to create a College Scorecard system by 2015 that will help students compare the value offered by schools. There will also be an additional move to base student aid on college value by 2018.
Sawhill says measurements like U.S. News and World Report's rankings muddle the college decision-making process. "It's a complicated question—the quality of school matters in terms of what you get out of it, and how much you earn when you graduate," she says. "The quality of the school you go to matters a lot so spending more may be worth it because the returns may be higher."
These rankings also create an increasingly competitive mentality among colleges and universities so they spend more to increase their place on these lists, those added costs get passed on to students, according to Amy Laitinen, deputy director for Higher Education at the New America Foundation.
"Colleges see these lists as very important and respond to them—it shapes what they do," she says. "And if they increase costs trying to move up the ranks, it will impact students…. But these [rankings] have nothing to do with whether students are learning more, earning more or getting better jobs."
She says students should focus on potential schools' value rather than ranking along with the level of debt graduates depart with.
And as far as costs go, many families will get "sticker shock" from pricing schools during the selection process and choose not even to apply to certain schools based on the number, but Laitinen says there is often more than meets the eye when it comes to schools' prices.
"The sticker price isn't how much you end up paying," she says. "For example, Princeton has a really high sticker price, but students may end up paying less because it has so much money that it can help low, middle and even some upper-income students."
So while rankings do hold weight, the bigger question is of course, is college worth it? And Laitinen says her take on this hotly-debated issue is yes, but with serious consideration and taking into account many sources of information. "College is absolutely worth it, but it may not be worth it at a particular institution, and a particular price," she says.

From the prison's roof Naomi watched the ambulancia men ride the stretcher with Dean on in the ambulance. A vicious smile played around her lips.
Anna had killed Dean, but had been so careless as to leave his body unguarded. Naomi had done juju on the police and the prison staff and then she had transported Dean to a cell.
Dean wasn't convicted. In fact they would've released him. People that weren't convicted yet, didn't get a free trip to prison.
But fact was that in prison the chance of Dean being found was much bigger and Dean being found was exactly what...
It was quiet in prison, wing C. Most inmates were asleep. Some of them were awake, lying in their uncomfortable beds.
The door to wing C opened and a correctional officer entered. He was there for the nightly checkup. They wouldn't want any convicts get funny ideas.
"Wake up, bitches!" he barked.
Slowly, más to piss off the co than anything else, the inmates stepped out of their beds and walked to the front side of their cell.
The co walked por each and every cell, giving each inmate a disgusted look.
Anna leaned over Dean's body. She had managed to ship them to an Angel-free zone, but there was no doubt that they sensed her presence and as segundos passed she could feel their presence closing in on her.
"Dean, wake up, we have to move" Anna urged him, while shaking him, but dying twice with only a brief pause between both times wasn't exactly a walk in the park.
She gave up trying to wake him, and pulled his arm over her shoulder. After a quick look right and left she disappeared and rematerialized in front of the dungeons.
Evan was pacing up and down the living room of his house. This could not be happening. Erin's murderer could not get away with a minor penalty. Crazy, my ass, Evan thought. It was no secret Meg knew how to fool everyone.
Come to think of it, she had probably fooled Cas that she loved him, so he would kill for her. He sunk down on his chair at his desk. There was a foto of Erin on it, that he picked up.
"I'm sorry I failed you, sweetheart" he mumbled sad. Suddenly he felt a chilling wind in his neck and he felt the hairs on his arms and in his neck stand. "I can't do...
Meg had been brought back to her cell in awaiting for her transferring to the mental hospital in Colorado Springs.
Craig was standing outside her cell.
"I will talk to the judge and I'll make sure tu get transferred back to castillo Rock" he said. "In the meantime, try to stay out of trouble. I heard Colorado Springs doesn't exactly inhabit the nicest of people"
"That's probably the reason why they're shipping me there" Meg replied dry.
"I'll see to it that they put tu in a private room" Craig said.
Night had taken over the día and Dean lay on his uncomfortable bed, wide awake. Sam hadn't been very enthusiastic about Dean's plan, but he'd promised he'd talk to Anna about it.
"Do tu have a death wish o something?"
Dean turned his head aside to see Anna.
"The moment you're back in Heaven Raphael will kill you. tu tried to escape. They kill tu for that" she warned him.
"Is that why tu haven't been there?" Dean asked, sitting up. "You could've gotten Cas out long ago, but you're too much of a coward to even try. I went to Hell for...
"I didn't mean to fall in amor with Cas" Meg continued. "In the beginning I just used him for protection. I was on the run for Crowley's demons. So, I moved into the house opposite Daphne Allen and spied on them. Daphne was a little crazy and in the beginning it was all very funny, but then she became violent. She abused Cas, physically and mentally. I told him to leave her, but he wouldn't listen. Until Dean came to town and we had no choice but to tell him the truth about who and what he is"
Sam stormed inside the police station, colliding into a cop. Not bothering to apologize he passed the cop and ran straight to the desk.
"Where's my brother?" he asked panting. The man behind the escritorio raised his eyebrows. "My brother, Dean, where is he?"
The man curled his mouth and typed something in in his computer. "Dean Winchester is being interrogated right now" he dicho lazy. "You'll have to wait o go home"
Sam decided to wait.
After what seemed like two hours inspector Morris left the investigation room and walked to the room.
"When I was younger I became really ill and my mother was afraid I would die" Meg started her story. "So she made a deal with a demon to save me. He did, but in exchange-"
The judge held up his hand. "Did tu just say demon?"
"Yes, your honor, tu heard me correctly"
"Okay" the judge dicho skeptical. "Go on"
"In exchange for my health my mother had to give me up" Meg continued. "From that moment Azazel became my father and I looked up at him like that. He taught me how to kill, how to survive. I've killed thousands of people"

(AP) UCF rallies to upset No. 8 Louisville, 38-35
By GARY B. GRAVES
AP Sports Writer
LOUISVILLE, Ky.
Blake Bortles and Central Florida had one last rally left, and it was enough to topple Teddy Bridgewater and No. 8 Louisville.
Bortles threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Godfrey with 23 seconds left and the Knights stunned the Cardinals by rallying for a 38-35 victory on Friday night, ending Louisville's perfect start.
Down 28-7 midway through the third quarter, the Knights (5-2, 2-0 American Athletic Conference) scored three touchdowns in a 7:22 span to tie the game. Storm Johnson had a 1-yard TD run and a 20-yard reception for another score, and William Stanback ran 12 yards for the tying TD.
UCF then went in front on Shawn Moffitt's 34-yard field goal with 7:36 remaining.
Louisville (6-1, 2-1) reclaimed the lead on Dominique Brown's 15-yard run with three minutes to go, but the Knights drove 75 yards in 11 plays to take the lead for good on Bortles' TD and then held off the Cardinals' comeback attempt.
Bridgewater made one last desperate heave into the end zone as time expired, but the Heisman Trophy contender was unable to find anyone. The Knights then rushed the field in jubilation as a small gathering of fans in one section chanted "UCF, UCF!"
"What can you say? It was a heck of a game," Knights coach George O'Leary said. "Both teams played their hearts out. That was a great drive and it was a great win in a tough environment.
"Obviously, it's a big win. It's a big win because of the conference. We had great effort and great execution. … We could have hung our heads, but we got after it."
Bortles finished 21-of-32 passing for 250 yards and two touchdowns while Johnson rushed for 109 yards and a TD on 18 carries, leading a spirited comeback during which the Knights outgained the Cardinals 269-210 in the second half to finish with a 446-445 edge.
It was Central Florida's second win over a ranked team in 27 attempts. It also came in the lone conference meeting between the schools; The Cardinals are headed to the Atlantic Coast Conference next season.
Struggling against a defense that entered the night allowing a nation-best 7.3 points per game, UCF eventually found room to run when Johnson started to cut and bounce his way to extra yardage.
Bortles chipped in with crisp passing, especially on the 20-yard pass to Johnson following a fumble recovery on the Cardinals 15.
The combination of Johnson and Bortles ruined Louisville's homecoming and its 100th game at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium before a crowd of 55,215.
Bridgewater finished 29-of-38 passing for 341 yards and two touchdowns. He welcomed back top receiver DeVante Parker from a shoulder injury, connecting for a 29-yard pass on Louisville's opening drive.
Bridgewater also went to former high school teammate Eli Rogers, who caught five passes for 44 yards, including an 18-yard touchdown that gave Louisville a 7-0 lead.
Ryan Hubbell's fumble that hit the pylon for a touchback and a punt on the next drive prevented the Cardinals from expanding the lead, and UCF scored on its fifth possession.
Johnson's 23-yard reception helped prolong the 71-yard drive, but Stanback's recovery of Rannell Hall's fumble at the 4 turned out to be the key play. Stanback scored on the next play.
Louisville responded with a 10-play, 75-yard drive ending with Bridgewater's 10-yard TD pass to Parker in double coverage just before halftime. The Cardinals then emerged from the locker room to drive 75 yards for a 21-7 lead on Dominique Brown's 20-yard touchdown run up the middle.

Natural Resources and the Washington Consensus
In a recent interview on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, I reacted to statements by Patrick Bond on Africa's export of raw materials and on structural adjustment policies. I said that the problem with natural resources was not that Africa exports them, but that many African governments have not used the revenues from these resources productively. On structural adjustment, I said that policies followed by the better-performing African countries over the last 15 years were quite similar to

Student Activities
Try these activities with your students.
Student Survey
Take time to get to know your students as members of the classroom
community. Survey your students for their interests, experiences,
background knowledge, family heritage and traditions, and
reading habits. Use the online Student Survey as a guide.
(See the Appendix in the Support Materials.) Use this information to enlighten your understanding
of the multiple perspectives they bring to the classroom and
how you can capitalize on those assets to enhance students'
understandings of the author's or other readers' perspectives.
As an alternative to this survey, ask students to create
a collage that represents their personal life experiences,
interests, reading habits, and anything that is significant
in their lives. Ask students to write a companion paragraph
explaining key elements of the collage. Invite students to
share these collages in small groups. Then, discuss ways in
which their experiences help shape their understandings of
what they read and how these might compare with others. Here,
both overlap and difference are important to discuss.
Good Questions
One way to ensure dynamic literary dialogue in your classroom
is to ask students to generate discussion with their own questions.
Students need opportunities to think about how to craft thought-provoking
questions in relation to literature they are currently reading.
Assign a short story for your students to read either in
class or at home. Selections like Shirley Jackson's "Charles,"
Toni Cade Bambara's "Raymond's Run," or Langston
Hughes's "Thank You M'am" are appropriate short
stories that will engage your students. Then, in collaboration
with your students, brainstorm a list of characteristics of
thought-provoking questions. Ask students to consider what
makes a good question. Narrow the list down to two or three
key qualities. As a homework assignment, ask students to use
these qualities to generate three questions for the next day's
whole-class literature discussion about the short story.
When students return to class the next day with their questions,
take time to discuss and evaluate the questions they created.
As a way of doing so, ask students to write out each question
on a separate strip of paper or on an index card. Shuffle
the cards and distribute a set of questions to groups of four
to five students each. Ask students to evaluate the quality
of the questions in terms of their ability to stimulate thinking
and discussion about the text. If questions need revising,
ask students to do so in the groups. Students may rewrite
the questions on the same strips of paper or index cards as
the original questions are written. Circulate from group to
group, helping students with their revisions.
When students are ready, begin the whole-class discussion
by inviting different groups to pose questions from the index
cards or strips of paper. This encourages participation from
all students and it invites them to take ownership of the
class discussion.
After the literature discussion, invite students to share
what they learned from the question writing experience. Ask
them what they think they gained from the literature discussion
that they would not have if they didn't pose their own questions.
Coat of Arms: All About Me
Cut out shields or use the student activity sheet Coat of
Arms. (See the Appendix in the Support Materials.) Ask students to draw, write
information, or cut out pictures from magazines to create
a coat of arms that represents who they are as a person. Invite
students to orally present their coat of arms in small groups,
so that students in your classroom community get to know one
another. As you circulate throughout the classroom when students
share their Coat of Arms, help students to recognize similarities
and differences among themselves in each group. Then have
the students discuss what these differing representations
might mean for how they might interpret a story or poem. This
will help you and the students in the class understand the
different life experiences and multiple perspectives that
exist in the literary community.
Teacher as a Reflective Practitioner
Start a classroom observation journal. Each time your students
participate in a literature discussion, take time to reflect
upon the discussion. You may take time after school or during
lesson planning for journaling. Think about classroom discussions
with your own students. How would you characterize them? What
elements of your classroom discussions support envisionment
building? Do students offer multiple perspectives? Do they
explain to each other why they arrived at the interpretations
they did? Do they return to the text and discuss what they
think is the author's vantage point? What is your role in
the discussions? Are students raising thought-provoking questions
relevant to the literature at-hand? How can you offer additional
support to the students as they work towards becoming active
participants in a literary community?

Let $E/\mathbb C$ be an elliptic curve. It is known that if $E$ has CM, then $j(E)$ is an algebraic integer. My first question is: what about the converse? Is there a way to identify the subset of algebraic integers whose elements correspond to [isomorphism classes of] elliptic curves with CM? The second question is: fixed a number field $K$, does there always exist an elliptic curve over $K$ with CM? And without CM?
Thank you very much!

This topic includes information about Landlord/Tenant issues and Foreclosure.
Landlord/TenantWhat is housing court like?
Housing matters between landlords and tenants are usually heard by the District Court. In some counties, the pace at which housing cases are heard can be quick. Your case will be scheduled for a certain time, for example 9 a.m., but you will need to wait in the courtroom until your case is called.
The judge will usually ask the plaintiff (the party who brought the suit) to speak first. The plaintiff will explain his or her side of the case, and present any relevant evidence. The judge will then ask the defendant for his or her response. At this time, the defendant can explain his or her point of view and also present any evidence.
The court may enter judgment in favor of one of the parties, or it may schedule another hearing if more information is needed.
If both parties don't appear in court, the court may dismiss the case, issue a judgment, or postpone the trial. To request a postponement, send a letter to the clerk's office of the court hearing your case before the trial date. You must mail a copy of the request to the opposing party.
Issues for Tenants

- Petition for Warrant of Restitution. Before an eviction can take place, the landlord must get a JUDGMENT in one of the cases described above (No. 1-4), and then wait four days. After 4 days, but no later than 60 days, the landlord can then file this "petition for warrant of restitution," which, if granted, allows the landlord to evict the person in the home.
a. When this is filed, the landlord must send you a copy of the petition in the mail, but there is no hearing.
- Failure to Pay Rent. A landlord files this when he or she believes you owe back rent. The landlord can use this to seek EVICTION and MONETARY DAMAGES.
- Was I properly served?
- You can be "served" by POSTING or IN PERSON.
- The sheriff or constable can serve you by POSTING the form in a conspicuous place, usually on the door of the rented property.
- The sheriff will also send a notice by first class mail. The sheriff or other person can also serve you IN PERSON by delivering the summons/complaint to you.
- What happens if I don't come to court?
If you do not attend the hearing, the court can POSTPONE the trial, enter a JUDGMENT against you, or DISMISS the case. If the judge enters a judgment against you, you can then be evicted, under certain circumstances.
- How to prepare?
Bring all court documents and evidence to support your claim. You may want to bring the lease, accounting records, cancelled checks, photographs and other documents or items that can demonstrate what you are trying to prove.
- What happens in court?
The judge will listen to both the landlord and the tenant present their version of the dispute. If the court rules in favor of the landlord, the court may issue an Order of Possession. In certain limited circumstances, the court may enter a monetary judgment in the amount of the rent due and the costs of the suit.
- What happens if I am evicted?
If the court issues an ORDER OF POSSESSION or grants the WARRANT OF RESTITUTION, you may be evicted. You can avoid eviction in most cases if you pay the amount the court decided was due, plus court costs, before the eviction takes place. Payment to the landlord must be in cash, certified check or money order. EXCEPTION: If you have had three (3) judgments of possession against you (or four(4) in Baltimore City) during the past 12 months before the current suit, a landlord may ask the court to deny your right to redeem the property. If the judge grants the landlord's request, you may be evicted even if you pay the rent due. The landlord cannot evict you on a Sunday or holiday. The sheriff must be present during the eviction. The landlord does not have to notify you when the eviction will take place. Once your property is removed from the premises, you are responsible for its safety.
I am living in a property with housing violations, what can I do?
- What action?
When a tenant lives in a property with certain defects or conditions (usually housing code violations), the tenant can file an injunction or rent escrow action in District Court.
- What do I need to do first?
Notify the landlord about the property's defects or conditions, and request that the landlord make necessary repairs or correct the conditions.
- What is rent escrow?
Rent escrow is when the tenant pays rent payments to a third party, who holds the rent payments in an escrow account. The landlord will not have access to the rent payments without following the court's order (usually regarding making repairs).
- How to file?
File a Petition in Action of Rent Escrow or For Injunction (DC-CV-083) with the District Court, along with any relevant documents you will present as evidence. The landlord will need to be served with the papers. The landlord may file an Answer to defend his or her actions.
- What happens in court?
- The judge will hear from both sides, and may enter judgment in favor of one of the parties. If the court finds in favor of the tenant and orders that a rent escrow account be set up, the judge can take several actions.
- The court can order that money be returned to you from the account as compensation, that either you or the landlord receive money from the account to pay for repairs, or the judge can order other actions. You must continue to pay rent into the escrow account.
- Baltimore City has special laws about rent escrow.
- What action?
For your landlord to keep any part of your security deposit, within 45 days after the tenancy ends, the landlord must mail to you a written list of the damages claimed with a statement of the costs the landlord actually incurred. If a landlord wrongfully keeps any part of your security deposit, you can file a civil claim with the District Court.
- How to file?
File the Complaint form (DC-CV-001). Include any documents you intend to present as evidence at trial.
- How to give notice?
The clerk's office can have the landlord served by certified mail or you can pay a fee to have the Sheriff serve the defendant. The landlord can also be served by private process, meaning you arrange for service by another person or company.
- What happens in court?
The landlord may file an answer to your complaint to defend his or her actions. In court, the judge will hear from both sides, consider any evidence, and enter a judgment in favor of one of the parties.
Issues for Landlords
My tenant stopped paying rent, what can I do?
- What action?
When a tenant fails to pay rent, the landlord may seek eviction and money damages.
- How to file?
Once rent is past due, the landlord may file a Failure to Pay Rent form (DC-CV-082). File the form in the District Court in the county where the rental property is located.
- How to give notice?
After the case is filed, the tenant will need to be served. The District Court can mail copies of the papers to the tenant, or you can request that the Sheriff serve the tenant in person (for a fee). You can also arrange for private process service, where a company or individual will serve the tenant for you.
- What happens in court?
- On the trial date, both parties must appear in court. If both parties don't appear, the court may dismiss the case, issue a judgment, or postpone the trial.
- If the court finds in favor of the landlord, the court may enter judgment for possession. In Baltimore City, special notice requirements apply.
- What happens after judgment?
After the court enters judgment for possession, the tenant no longer has the right to live in the property.
See the next section about Evictions.
- What action?
When a tenant fails to pay rent, breaches the lease, or holds over (refuses to leave), the landlord may seek eviction.
- What do I need to do first?
Obtain a judgment for possession against the tenant from the District Court. See "How to File" above. The eviction process cannot start until 4 business days have passed from the time the court entered judgment for possession in favor of the landlord.
- How to file?
After this time, the landlord may file a Petition for Warrant of Restitution (DC-CV-081). The court will decide whether to enter an Order for Warrant of Restitution.
- How to give notice?
The landlord is not responsible for notifying the tenant of the time of eviction. However, it is makes sense to do so because it gives the tenant the chance to remove personal property before the eviction.
- How to evict the tenant?
The Sheriff must be present during the eviction. The eviction must take place within 60 days after the court orders the Warrant of Restitution. The Landlord must file the request for a Warrant within 60 days of the date of judgment. The eviction cannot take place on a Sunday or holiday. Once property is removed from the premises, the tenant is responsible for its safety. In Baltimore City, special property removal restrictions apply.
ForeclosureWhat is the foreclosure process like?
If you are behind on your mortgage and you cannot reach an agreement with your lender, your lender may try to foreclose on your home. You have the right to request foreclosure mediation with your lender.
90 days after you have defaulted on the terms of your loan – Your lender may file a foreclosure action with the court.
45 days before filing the foreclosure action – The lender must send you their Notice of Intent to Foreclose. The Notice will explain why the foreclosure is happening, and the itemized amount you can pay to stop foreclosure.
After filing the foreclosure action – The lender will file the foreclosure action in the Circuit Court for the county in which your property is located. The lender must serve you with the papers it filed with the court.
What can I do to prevent the foreclosure? You can stop the foreclosure by paying ALL of the missed mortgage payments, fees, and other charges due to the lender. You can also defend against the foreclosure if you can prove to the court that you did not default on your loan, or that the lender did not follow the foreclosure procedures required by law. To do so, you can file an Answer with the court, and send your Answer to your lender. The court will hold a hearing and decide whether the lender may foreclose on your home.
You may be able to work out a solution by requesting mediation. If your home is your principal residence and you are facing foreclosure, you may request mediation when your lender starts the foreclosure action with the Circuit Court. The lenders will file one of two documents with the Circuit Court. They will file a "Preliminary Affidavit" if they have not completed an analysis of your ability to repay the loan, or a "Final Affidavit" if they have completed the analysis. As part of the Final Affidavit, your lender must send you a "Request for Foreclosure Mediation" form. You have 25 days from the time you receive this form to complete it and file the request for mediation with the Circuit Court. You must pay a non-refundable $50 fee when you request mediation. This is the only time you will be offered the opportunity to request foreclosure mediation. Commercial and other non-owner occupied properties are not eligible for foreclosure mediation.
45 days after you were served – If you do not pay the amount due to the lender or defend against the foreclosure, the lender may sell your home at public auction.
Before the sale at auction - The lender must have published notice of the sale in a local newspaper for at least 3 weeks in a row.
At least 10 days before the sale at auction – The lender must send you notice of the date of sale. Your failure to receive or sign this notice will not stop the foreclosure.
Up through 1 business day before the sale – You can pay the full amount due to the lender to stop the foreclosure from happening.
After the sale – The person who purchased the home at auction will receive the title to the property. The court will enter judgment giving possession to the purchaser. At this point, you no longer own or have a right to live in the home. The court may order the Sheriff to evict you.
There are steps you can take to try to prevent or avoid foreclosure. Learn more from Maryland's HOPE Initiative. Watch out for scams by individuals who approach you about your foreclosure; the HOPE Initiative can tell you more about such scams.I'm renting a house that is being foreclosed on. What's going to happen?
45 days before the foreclosed home is sold at public auction, the person authorized to make the sale must mail a notice to all occupants entitled "Important Notice" containing information about the foreclosure.
Between 10 and 30 days before the foreclosed home is sold at public auction, the person authorized to make the sale must mail another notice to all occupants entitled "Notice of Impending Foreclosure Sale." This second notice will explain the details of the sale at public auction.
A foreclosure sale will not end your lease automatically. The new owner must serve on each tenant a notice stating that you should send rent payments to the purchaser or the purchaser's agent. The notice must also contain the name, address, and phone number of the purchaser or the purchaser's agent who is responsible for managing and maintaining the property.
90 days before terminating the lease – If the new owner plans to live in the property (as an "owner-occupier"), the owner must give all tenants written notice that the owner intends to terminate the lease.
If the new owner is not an "owner-occupier," the new owner must allow you to continue renting the property until the end of your lease.

Well, I have a laptop here that is giving me problems. I need to try and get some files from its documents folder. Obviously it doesn't boot up and gives me constant errors. I have tried redoing all the registries from the repair folder and still no luck. I'm now trying to just save the documents and wipe it out. Well, it seems that I cannot access any other folders except system folders when logged into the recivery console. There is one way around it though. You have to set group policies in the main OS (prior to crashing) to allow you to use the SET commands to allowremovablemdia and allowallpaths. Now comes the next question. Is theer a way to edit the registry from the command prompt in windows XP? I've looked and looked to no avail. I basically have to edit the software hive to set:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Setup\RecoveryConsole
SetCommand (DWORD) 1 = allow floppy copy etc, 0 = restrict some file
So... any suggestions?

My friend Shin Miyata from Japan came to visit over the weekend. He wanted to go to a bar in East L.A. that he had never been to. After discussing a few that were "been there, done that" by Shin, we decided on a steakhouse/bar in Monterey Park called The Venice Room. We arrived just in time to hear someone sing a Karaoke version of Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight." It was painful. It was so bad that Shin apologized to me on behalf of the Japanese people for creating Karaoke. The Venice Room looks like it was the place to be at one point. Now it seems like it has gone the way of many neighborhood bars in the area. People want sports, so it's ESPN on the T.V. screen the entire night. The décor of the place has been ruined by way too many beer advertisements. And then, there is Karaoke. On the plus side, at least it's not some hipster joint. The Venice Room serves its purpose. It's a neighborhood bar for neighborhood people. Drinks are cheap and I can choose to fall into the fun or go to another place for drinks. That night we chose to go to Ordoñez for some late night food since The Venice Room had stopped serving food.
The Venice Room reminded me of dive bars I used to hang out in when I had just turned twenty-one. Each one was a new experience. Some I liked and some I didn't. Most of the time, the places I liked were dictated on the jukebox. My favorite places were the ones that still had the jukeboxes with the 45's in them. With CD jukeboxes, there is always that person who will play an entire Doors album. Then you get stuck listening to them sing along with the whole thing and soon you wish the joint had Karaoke. With 45's, you had the choice of side A or B of a single. It discourages the jukebox hogs. You can't play the entire "Dark Side Of The Moon" album because it can't fit on a 45. I got exposed to some great music by not having many choices. The limited choices forced you to listen to artists that normally you wouldn't listen to. Even if you only played the artists that you liked, you would be forced to listen to the b-side of a single at some point.

New Balance's 574s for this year have been really on point, especially the ones associated with their Tall Tales pack. Another lovely edition of the classic sneakers from that pack has just surfaced in this beautiful maroon color. The Made in USA 'Johnny Appleseed' sneakers are made up of a buttery soft looking suede along with some matching nylon mesh. Another great feature of these bad boys is the gum sole, which really pushes these into "must cop" territory. You can pick these up now at Bows and Arrows.
Take a detailed look after the jump.

This is just a little ditty to all of the so called right wing bloggers and pundits who are crying about the Harry Reid debacle. I am disgusted that any of you have a nerve to sit and act all high and mighty calling for this man to step down all the while chastising the black community for not joining your cries. It bothers me to no end how the same idiotic people who are calling Harry Reid a racist, are the same folks who just the day before were probably talking about how over sensitive blacks are and how they continuously play the race card.
So it is completely obvious that this is just a silly game to you. I have a question for you. When did you start caring one iota for the black community or what bothers us? Where in the hell were you when Rush Limbaugh was playing that Barack the magic Negro song? Oh, that's right you were defending him and telling people to lighten up. But now you feel that we need to get all up in arms. When in the hell have any of you ever called for the stepping down of one of your own? Or better yet, when was the last time any of you took one of those racist right wing pundits you seem to love, to task when they continuously spew racist drivel? That would be never.
Tell me exactly what it is you find offensive about what Harry Reid said, it can't be the word Negro. Wasn't it the right wing numb nuts who were just yelling a day or so ago that no one should care that the US census added the word Negro back on the list? Didn't Glen Beck go so far as to say that African American was a bogus term and Negro more fitting? And now it is offensive to the Republicans? What is this, the Twilight Zone? It is almost as if you all have developed a serious case of multiple personalities.
Were any of you fighting for black people's right not to be offended by the word Macacca? In fact, the Confederate flag has been offending blacks for years. We have been asking for it to be removed from States forever. I still haven't seen any Republicans going out of their way to cry on black people's behalf and help to get that flag thrown out. Doesn't this make you even more of the hypocrites that you're crying that the Democrats or the black community are? Well if Republican's have a need to help blacks all of a sudden, can you take a look at the unemployment numbers?
And since when did any of you who are NOT black, have any right to tell any of us who ARE black people, what we should or shouldn't be offended by. Haven't we gone through this before, when you all claimed that we shouldn't be offended by Barack the magic Negro? Isn't the fact that you somehow think that you have the right to chastise the black community for not feeling MORE offended and then running to herald your cause just as racist, if not more?
Whether it was Harry Reid, Sarah Palin or whatever person any of you wish to replace these names with, the outcome would be the same. They would be chastised and they would apologize and they would move on. The last time I checked, Joe Wilson with his blatant disrespect is still a sitting Senator. And of course the Democrats would be calling for their heads, it doesn't come to anything. Isn't this what both of these stupid parties do? Isn't this the normal mode of operation, that we have to play this stupid back and forth game.
So what this boils down to is a bunch of people who could care less how the black community feels about anything, are using this feigned, so called degradation of black people as a rally cry to further their own means. A game which is to help oust the man who has a pivotal role in helping to pass this health care bill which they deathly oppose. And they wish to use the black community like so many pawns on a chess table to do it. And the Democrats have no intention of ousting Reid when he is so pivotal right now.
It is too bad that you don't understand black people or know how pretty much any of us feel, think or see life. This is because you have no desire to know black people beyond your rightwing shills. You see, we are not stupid. We know full well that BOTH parties are full of racists. They are chock full of racists with their own agendas. But you see we do know one thing.
And that is that out of both of these racist filled parties; the Republicans have made a blatant decision that they were going to be the party of the angry racist southern white person. And they continue to make it perfectly clear that they have no desire to encompass the black race within any of their agendas. As they continue to show nothing but total disdain and disrespect for blacks on a constant basis.
And as far as I am concerned neither of your idiotic parties deserve to have the black community voting for you. We are out in the cold no matter which party gets into office. They don't represent us. We are continuously told that we need to help ourselves, even if pledges are being made to help every community in this country and even those that aren't. So the fact is, if you need a black lackey to do your crying for you; then get Michael Steele. It seems that he does fine enough for us all.
In case any of you right wing numb nuts were confused about how you portray yourselves to the black community, then just go back and take a look at that Klan rally that you called a Republican national convention. The brown and black faces were so sparse as to not be seen. And the rhetoric on the stage was one of complete and utter blatant contempt for minorities. Now you all want us black people to believe that you have our best interest at heart and are just angry on our behalf for what Harry Reid said. Give it a rest already.

We were big fans of the GT1 Matech Ford GT racecar. Now you can have one for the road. Excuse us while we drool.
Technically, this isn't a road-legal racecar, so much as a street car upgraded to near-racing specifications. It is the work of RH Motorsports, who bought the original Matech 2009 GT1 prototype race car, all of the molds, and the Matech GT3 race car's complete bodywork. Now RH Motorsports is planning on building 20 of these street-legal race replicas called the GT1-S.
The GT1-S comes with race-derived suspension, a 4" widened track, the new bodywork, and a tuned engine. You can order a 600 horsepower naturally aspirated motor, a 760 horsepower supercharged one, or a 1,000 horsepower twin turbo set up. They'll also have a milder GT3-S.
We'll keep dreaming so long as we don't hurt our heads thinking about how weird it is to turn a race car (the original Ford GT40) into a street car (the Ford GT) into a race car (the GT1 Matech Ford GT) into a street car (this GT1-S).

Worth a shot, though the whole saga at some point involved getting our signatures verified and stamped by KEP. Our local KEP lady is also very keen to help Brits as she's lined up for a serious English exam in the winter and likes to practice her spoken English.

If you have lived here 9 years, have no income in Greece and were registered as tax resident here from the beginning then you have a pretty poor accountant. The 183 day rule was only introduced about 4 years ago. Before that, under Greek tax law you could remain tax resident where your income arose and most ex-pats were registered as non-tax resident completely legally on that basis.

This item was given to me as a Christmas gift and I'm absolutely in love with this product. From the beautiful smell of roses to the easy application, I will be purchasing a 2nd jar once it's finished this winter. I have very dry and sensitive skin due to my age and I struggle with eczema so I am always hesitant to use new products for fear of aggravation to my skin and clogging of my pores. I have used many of the Weleda body products and I am a huge fan of their body oils and the skin food for around my lips so I was open to trying it. I can now say that I can add this to my list of faves. Although the capsules looks small, one application provides you with enough to do your face and neck at night and in the mornings my skin is soft, supple and glowing (I wish I did not have to wash it). As an almost 40 year old, I am fortunate to say that I don't have wrinkles yet but in terms of "nourishing" my skin for the cold Canadian winter, this is a winner by far and I am happy to recommend this product. It's safe for sensitive skin but would not recommend it for people with scent allergies as it is scented. It is an oil but absorbs quickly and does not clog your pores or give you acne. It's recommended for use 1-2 times a week so this will last a while. For drier skin types you will need to use it more frequently as suggested. Although they have suggested for night time use, I have also used it for the daytime if I am going to be outside for a while.

I brought the capsules because of the positive review.I dont think Singapore carry this brand so I got mine from japan.What I love about Weleda is that they are all natural.I used facial oil before and some gave me horrible breakout as I have very sensitive with acne prone skin but my skin conditionis getting better.I am quite worry because I have never use their products before so why not just give it a try.
It contain natural plant base oil which is good for skin, the aroma of this product smell so wonderful but the oil is a little too greasy for my skin to handle and it cause me to have oil seeds aroud my jaw area which I am super scared as my skin is clearing up from acne but something which I really like about this products is that it give me a healthy glow and radiance complexion. My oil seed disappear really quick but I do not want to give up on this product since I did not follow the instruction the first time which is you need to apply the oil on damp skin.So I try the second time on damp skin after steaming my face with panasonic nano facial steamer.The oil absorb into skin really well comparing to the first time I tried.
The next day when I woke up and wash my face,I realized my skin is more radiance and plump up but still see oil seed around my jaw lin.
I will still continue using the product as it did not break me out or cause red patches, just oil seed.Maybe my skin is not use to rich nutrients and need more time to adapt. So I only give 3 lippis, I will update again after trying it for 1 month!
24/07/2014 Update: it's been more than 1 month, I will give this face oil 4 lip stick!! I was so dumb that I did not read the the instructions probably before applying the face oil on my skin.The correct way is to use it on semi wet skin because the absorption will be better and seriously I find that by putting on damp skin, the absorption is superb .The next day when I woke up, my skin look so radiance and pump without looking oily plus no more oil seeds on my cheeks or jawline.I follow the step by step massage technique included in the box, it is very easy to follow and I will definitely repurchase the oil in japan again.

I bought this oil based on the positive reviews. Unfortunately for some reason it doesn't work that well for me on my face. I have semi-dry and sensitive skin, also sensitive eyes. When it's applied it feels very good for the first hours, hydrating, softening, etc. But the next morning that effect is gone, the absorption seems superficial, it's hard to explain why, but my skin doesn't feel hydrated and soft, only superficially soft as if you could wash it off. Actually my skin seems a little dry the next morning since I don't apply a moisturizer when wearing this oil. I also think it gives me headache, it happens everytime. My eyes don't sting, but they feel tired when I wear it. Sometimes I get some red patches too on my most sensitive areas. As for the fragrance, that rose oil smell is not horrible, but a little heavy for my taste when I wear it on my face. I saw the review on Beautypedia, and it was rated as "poor" and one of the reasons was the fragrance. I now wear this on my neck after shower to use it up, my neck feels softer, I even consider buying the wold rose body oil. I wouldn't buy this again.

Oh my god, I love this. It's super-moisturising, leaves my sensitive skin soft and luminous and feels so luxurious.
This is a little fussy in the capsules, so I just use a whole capsule on my face, neck and decollete before bed when I'm parched or flaky. It's also perfect for protecting the skin on a long flight, when I really enjoy the gorgeous, soothing scent.

I get dry flaky patches around my forehead and nose and it looks bad and I'm still looking for something that makes them go away, because this isn't it. It's a good product made of natural ingredients and does hydrate (I suggest using it after shower when your skin is still moist) but for me it's not enough because I still get these flakes. And when I use it too often (more than twice a week) I get pimples. I'm also not a fan of the strong scent it has. The price is okay and the idea of casules very clever, but over this I prefer a regular "single malt" organic 100% oils like jojoba which doesn't smell and doesn't give me pimples no matter how much I use it. It is also much cheaper, because I can get a bottle of jojoba oil and use it all over my body.

I've bought this product based on the good reviews here and I'm so glad I did! Every winter the skin around my mouth and nose gets very dry. I've used all kind of expensive and inexpensive (vaseline) cremes but nothing works like this oil.
The weather is extremely cold here right now and I don't have any drie flakes!! So happy I finally found something that works:)
The reason I gave it 4 lippies and not 5 is because of the price. I know there are lot's of even more expensive oils out there but I think �17,- for 30 days (I use it every day) is quite steep.
That is however the only downfall I can think of.
Would definitely recommend!! Would I buy it again? I've already did:p
Make sure you look at the date though considering it is a fresh product.
Hope this was helpfull!

I purchased the Weleda Wild Rose facial oil after researching this on MUA. And I will say upfront that I am NOT disapointed.
Having great experience with rosehip oil, this product is simply divine. It comes in a little glass jar with 30 individual capsules containing these precious concoction of oils.
I believe that this product is primarily made up of rosehip oil. It also contains sweet almond oil, evening primose oil, and peach kernel oil. How luxurious !
While the instructions says that you should use one capsule per application, however, I reckon that it is adequate for up to 2 uses (one if you're applying it on your neck as well). I only use this one-twice a week as a pampering treatment for my skin. Since they are individually packed in a capsules, every drop that you get is very 'fresh', and ohhh, the scent. How lovely ! These are not only a treat to your skin....it is to your senses as well.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a luxurious treatment for the skin.

This definitely is a luxurious, "pamper me" oil treatment for the facial skin. I have skin that is acne prone with areas that are dry and others (like my nose and forehead) that are oily.
I paid about $42 NZD for this, which I find expensive for just 30 applications, never the less, I loved this oil and would most certainly repurchase.
Firstly, unlike a lot of oils, this did not break me out.
In fact quite the opposite happened...I applied it at night on a cleansed face (no creams on top so that it fully absorbed)...In the morning my face felt super soft, no greasy residue and in fact my face seemed to glow through my make up (which almost never happens).
I used all 30 capsules for an intensive one month treatment and it was amazingly effective. At the end of the month my skin seemed much smoother and fine lines around my eyes and lips appeared much finer.
The only downside is the size of the capsules (super tiny, like the tip of your index finger)...The packaging says you can apply it on your face and neck, but there is only enough product to spread on your face...
However, this is a great product and I highly recommend it.

I bought this product because it has primrose oil in it, which is my favourite daily supplement and I believe it helps me control my hormonal breakouts. Thus, I assumed it would do wonders on my skin when used externally too. Unfortunately, after only three days of use I noticed quite a few visible clogged pores, and the bumps all appeared at once, an unlikely coincidence...Using a super-magnifying mirror, I obviously couldn't leave them alone and made a complete mess out of my face as a result.
Can't give Weleda capsules a bad rating for that, as the texture and the packaging are lovely, so are the ingredients. Just my (annoying) individual skin reaction to essential oils (and hands that should be restrained from using a magnifying mirror).

I tried this stuff yesterday overnight and it is amazing.
I have dehydrated, acne-prone, ageing and sensitive combination skin, so I guess, you could call my skin "difficult".
The package contains 30 capsules with a combination of biological oils. Weleda is a German company, which produces eco-cosmetics with a high biological-certified standard. I paid 15 Euros for the capsules in Germany.
You have to open the capsules and put the oil on your moist skin (this is important). Usually, I spray my face lightly with thermal water before putting the oil on my face.
I use it overnight, because it doesn�t seem as a suitable makeup-base and the ingredients work better.
My skin feels good after putting it on and it doesn�t feel greasy or sticky on my skin. It smells like roses.
But wait until you see the overnight-effect. I really tried different types of oil capsules or overnight serums. And I often was disappointed, because they never delivered what they promised.
I woke up and my skin was amazing. Hydrated, glowing, fresh and my pores were minimized. I also looked well rested.
Although it is oil, you don�t have to be afraid if you have acne-prone skin. My skin didn�t react with clogged pores or breakouts. So it�s worth a try.
I like this product a lot and you can use it 14 days as a "special treatment" or 1-2 times a week to pamper your skin. Either way it makes your skin feel well.
Update 21/08/2012:
Having tried many high-end serums and oils, I can definitely say, that this is cheaper and more effective than most expensive and hyped facial oils.
The combination of the oils seems to work miracles and pamper your skin with so many essential fats and moisture, that it feels wonderful. And I feel that the combination of oils works better on my skin than a single carrier oil alone.
I never broke out from the capsules, as they contain no comedogenic oils. And the essential oils and the perfume in it didn�t make my skin react or be irritated. Just basically good biological oils to nourish and feed your skin.
Wonderful in wintertime, when your skin needs a little more extra care.
If you want a cheap and effective pampering for your skin, try it.

Greenpeace issued a fresh call Monday to stop the practice of bottom-trawling, saying the international organizations that manage fish stocks were doing nothing to stop the destruction of ocean beds.
OTTAWA Greenpeace issued a fresh call Monday to stop the practice of bottom-trawling, saying the international organizations that manage fish stocks were doing nothing to stop the destruction of ocean beds.
The conservation group says trawlers hunting for fish such as the orange roughy let their nets drag along the seabed at depths of up to 2 km (1.2 miles), destroying everything in their wake.
"We have documented an enormous range of the deep sea life that's coming up in these nets, including 500-year-old pieces of coral that are just ripped out of the seabed and (then) tossed back over the side," said Bunny McDiarmid of Greenpeace.
Last year a group of international scientists blamed around a dozen nations for the practice, including Russia, Japan, New Zealand, Iceland and Norway.
World fish stocks are managed by a number of regional international bodies and last year the United Nations General Assembly asked these groupings to look into bottom-trawling.
But Greenpeace said Monday that the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO), which covers Canadian waters, and other such groups were very poor on protecting species.
A Greenpeace statement said an estimated 60 percent of bottom-trawling took place in the northwest Atlantic, most of it in the NAFO area.
"They've done an incredibly bad job of managing the fish for the last 25 years ... NAFO has an appalling record," said McDiarmid, co-author of a critical report on NAFO released by Greenpeace Monday.
McDiarmid said the regional organizations only cover 25 percent of the high seas and are focused on fish stocks rather than preservation.
She called for "a time-out" on bottom-trawling until proper rules can be worked out and criticized the Canadian government for not supporting a moratorium on bottom trawling.
Fisheries Minister Geoff Regan said that while he agreed regional fisheries bodies needed to become more efficient, the idea of a blanket ban on bottom trawling was unrealistic.
"It's clear to us that there are certainly types of (sea) bottoms where bottom-trawling doesn't do significant damage," he told Reuters in a telephone interview.
"Saying (we should) ... ban all of it is really a blanket broad brush approach that isn't going to be successful and isn't going to target the key problem," he said.

|Ranges of the Ganges river dolphin and of the Indus river dolphin
The South Asian river dolphin (Platanista gangetica) is a freshwater or river dolphin found in India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan which is split into two subspecies, the Ganges river dolphin (P. g. gangetica) and Indus river dolphin (P. g. minor).[2] The Ganges river dolphin is primarily found in the Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers and their tributaries in Bangladesh, India and Nepal, while the Indus river dolphin is found in the Indus River in Pakistan and its Beas and Sutlej tributaries. From the 1970s until 1998, they were regarded as separate species; however, in 1998, their classification was changed from two separate species to subspecies of a single species (see taxonomy below). The Ganges river dolphin has been recognized by the government of India as its National Aquatic Animal.[3] The Indus river dolphin has been named as the National Mammal of Pakistan.[4] Further, the Gangetic river dolphin has been elected to be the city animal of the Indian city of Guwahati.[5]
The species was described by two separate authors, Lebeck and Roxburgh, in 1801, and it is unclear to whom the original description should be ascribed.[6] Until the 1970s, the South Asian river dolphin was regarded as a single species. The two subspecies are geographically separate and have not interbred for many hundreds if not thousands of years. Based on differences in skull structure, vertebrae and lipid composition scientists declared the two populations as separate species in the early 1970s.[7] In 1998, the results of these studies were questioned and the classification reverted to the pre-1970 consensus of a single species containing two subspecies until the taxonomy could be resolved using modern techniques such as molecular sequencing. The latest analyses of mitochondrial DNA of the two subspecies did not display the variances needed to support their classification as separate species.[8] Thus, at present, this one species with two subspecies is recognized in the genus Platanista, the P. g. gangetica (Ganges river dolphin) and the P. g. minor (Indus river dolphin).[9]
- Synonyms
- blind river dolphin, side-swimming dolphin
- Ganges subspecies: Gangetic dolphin, Ganges susu,[10] shushuk
- Indus subspecies: bhulan, Indus dolphin, Indus blind dolphin
The South Asian river dolphin has the long, pointed nose characteristic of all river dolphins. Its teeth are visible in both the upper and lower jaws even when the mouth is closed. The teeth of young animals are almost an inch long, thin and curved; however, as animals age, the teeth undergo considerable changes and in mature adults become square, bony, flat disks. The snout thickens towards its end. The species does not have a crystalline eye lens, rendering it effectively blind, although it may still be able to detect the intensity and direction of light. Navigation and hunting are carried out using echolocation.[11] They are unique among cetaceans in that they swim on their sides.[12] The body is a brownish color and stocky at the middle. The species has only a small, triangular lump in the place of a dorsal fin. The flippers and tail are thin and large in relation to the body size, which is about 2-2.2 meters in males and 2.4-2.6 m in females. The oldest recorded animal was a 28-year-old male, 199 cm in length.[13] Mature females are larger than males. Sexual dimorphism is expressed after females reach about 150 cm (59 in); the female rostrum continues to grow after the male rostrum stops growing, eventually reaching approximately 20 cm (7.9 in) longer.
Distribution and habitat
The South Asian river dolphins are native to the freshwater river systems located in Nepal, India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.[1] They can be most commonly found in water with high abundance of prey and reduced flow.[11]
The Ganges subspecies (P. g. gangetica) can be found along the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna and Karnaphuli-Sangu river systems of Bangladesh and India, although its range formerly extended to Nepal.[11] A small subpopulation can be still found on the Ghaghara River and possibly the Sapta Kosi River. The majority of the Indus subspecies (P. g. minor) is located between the Sukkur and Guddu barrage in the Sind Province of Pakistan.[11] Two smaller subpopulations have also been recorded in the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Provinces. Since the two river systems are not connected in any way, it is a mystery how these sub-species ended up in the two rivers. It is improbable that the river dolphins made it from one river to another through the sea route since the two estuaries are very far apart. According to Land of the Seven Rivers: A Brief History of India's Geography by Sanjeev Sanyal, a likely explanation is that several north Indian rivers like the Sutlej and Yamuna changed their path in ancient times and carried the dolphins with them.[14]
Births may take place year round, but appear to be concentrated between December to January and March to May.[15] Gestation is thought to be approximately 9–10 months. After around one year, juveniles are weaned and they reach sexual maturity at about 10 years of age.[16] During the monsoon, South Asian river dolphins tend to migrate to tributaries of the main river systems.[15] Occasionally, individuals swim along with their beaks emerging from the water,[17] and they may "breach"; jumping partly or completely clear of the water and landing on their sides.[17]
The South Asian river dolphin feeds on a variety of shrimp and fish, including carp and catfish. They are usually encountered on their own or in loose aggregations; the dolphins do not form tight interacting groups.
International trade is prohibited by the listing of the South Asian river dolphin on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).[18] It is protected under the Indian Wildlife Act, although these legislations require stricter enforcement.[15]
Both subspecies are listed by the IUCN as endangered on their Red List of Threatened Species.[1] The Indus river dolphin is listed as endangered by the US government National Marine Fisheries Service under the Endangered Species Act. On a positive note, in recent years, the population of blind Indus dolphins in Pakistan has increased.[19]
The immediate danger for the resident population of P. gangeticus in National Chambal Sanctuary is the decrease in river depth and appearance of sand bars dividing the river course into smaller segments.[20] The proposed conservation measures include designated dolphin sanctuaries and the creation of additional habitat.
Ministry of Environment and Forest declared Gangetic dolphin as national aquatic animal of India. Also, a stretch of Ganges river between Sultanganj and Kahlgaon in Bihar has been declared as dolphin sanctuary and named Vikramshila Gangetic Dolphin Sanctuary (VGDS). It is the world's first dolphin sanctuary for the conservation of Gangetic Dolphin P. Gangeticus.
The species is listed on Appendix I[21] and Appendix II[21] of the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS). It is listed on Appendix I[21] as this species has been categorized as being in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant proportion of their range and CMS Parties strive towards strictly protecting these animals, conserving or restoring the places where they live, mitigating obstacles to migration and controlling other factors that might endanger them. It is listed on Appendix II[21] as it has an unfavourable conservation status or would benefit significantly from international co-operation organised by tailored agreements.
The Uttar Pradesh government in India is bringing up ancient Hindu texts in hopes of raising the community support to save the dolphins from disappearing. One of the lines being versed from Valimiki's Ramayan, highlighted the force by which the Ganges emerged from Lord Shivji's locks and along with this force came many species such as animals, fish and the Shishumaar—the dolphin.[22]
Human interaction
Both subspecies have been very adversely affected by human use of the river systems in the subcontinent. Entanglement in fishing nets can cause significant damage to local population numbers. Some individuals are still taken each year and their oil and meat used as a liniment, as an aphrodisiac, and as bait for catfish. Irrigation has lowered water levels throughout both subspecies' ranges. Poisoning of the water supply from industrial and agricultural chemicals may have also contributed to population decline. Perhaps the most significant issue is the building of more than 50 dams along many rivers, causing the segregation of populations and a narrowed gene pool in which dolphins can breed. Currently, three subpopulations of Indus dolphins are considered capable of long-term survival if protected.[23]
Non-human personhood
On the 20th of May, 2013 India's Ministry of Environment and Forests has declared dolphins as 'non-human persons' and as such has forbidden their captivity for entertainment purposes.[24] Some scientists postulate that dolphins and whales are sufficiently intelligent to justify the same ethical considerations as humans.[25] As a consequence in order to keep dolphins in captivity one must provide a legally sufficient reason for their imprisonment.
