Southern India
Earth : Asia : South Asia : India : Southern India
South India includes major states in peninsular India and the two island groups of Lakshadweep and Andaman and Nicobar.
There are many cities in South India. Below is a list of the nine most notable. Other cities are listed on their specific regional page.
Other destinations
One typically can understand by simple sights and sounds, the big air of difference between Southern Indian with rest of the parts of the country. The basic culture of south is essentially Dravidian culture, quite different from North India's Indo - East European culture. The people of South would remain down to earth, calm inspite of excellent talents. They respect every other's religion and sentiments unlike their Northern neighbours. Historians and Scholars across the world have always admired the culture and language of South India.
The South India has a glorious history of more than 3000 years. With advent of Aryan civilization in early BC centuries, much of the Dravidian civilizations (said to be even base for Indus Valley civilization) resided to southern India, which soon became a major Dravidian bastion. Though Hinduism remained as the invisible thread that connected North and South, much of the culture and outlook remained entirely different with both parts of the country, thanks the mighty Vindhya Ranges that could successfully prevent Northern cultural dominance into south untill Medieval periods.
The ancient history of South India was much attributed to large empires like the Hoysalas, Chalukyas, Gangas, Kadambas, Chola, Pandya and Chera, all hailing from similar roots. Whereas Cholas were more famous through its large empires, cultural monuments and navy which brought much of South East Asia under its domination, the popularity of other houses, Chera and Pandiyas were nevertheless. Cheras ruled much of the modern Kerala was extremely popular through its extensive trading relations with West, particularly Roman and Greek Empires as well as with Egyptians. Pandiyas were renowned for their cultural achievements, concenrated much of Southern Tamil Nadu. Towards early AD Centuries, several other Hindu Dynasties like Chalukyas, Vijayanagar Empire, Pallavas etc scrambled much of the Southern peninsula barring Kerala, which remained under Cheras.
Towards Medieval periods, Vijayanagar Empire became one of the largest empires covering two thirds of South India, particularly Karnataka and Andhara Pradesh with its capital at Hampi. The frequent attacks of Sultans of Delhi and other Northern Muslim states, slowly weakened the great Vijayanagara Empire, disintegrating it, giving raise of several Muslim states modelled on Northern Mughal styles in south. The growth of Portuguese, Dutch and other European powers, made South India, one of the major bases for European powers to fight for its share, in which British emerged victorious. British started their expansion into India setting up its base in Madras (Chennai) and slowly grew into a major power all over India. Barring a few Kingdoms like Travancore, Kochi, Mysore, Hyderabad and Coorg, most of the south Indian area came under British dominance by end of 19th century.
After Independence, South India remained one of the major economic powerhouse for the nation. Most of the south Indian cities are reputed for various industrial bases. The growth of the IT industry in cities like Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Trivandrum, textiles in Coimbatore, Auto-manufacturing in Chennai, and Tourism and economy in Kerala, have contributed to the success of the South, and has propelled it as the leading region of the country.

One of the major differences between the South and the rest of India are the languages spoken. The four major languages, Kannada (in Karnataka), Malayalam (in Kerala), Tamil (in Tamil Nadu) and Telugu (in Andhra Pradesh) are all Dravidian languages entirely unrelated to the Indo-Aryan languages, such as Hindi, spoken in the rest of the country, though they contain many loan words from Sanskrit. Even the scripts of all four languages, while originally Indic, have diverged quite radically from Devanagari.
As a rule, throughout the South, English is better understood than Hindi. The Tamils, in particular, have resented Delhi's occasional attempts to impose Hindi on them, and many will find it offensive if you try to talk to them in Hindi. Learning a few words of the local lingo, on the other hand, will go down a treat. Outside Tamil Nadu, Hindi is still usable as all educated people will have learnt Hindi in school, though it is not widely spoken in rural areas.
Get in
By plane
South India has more international airports than rest of India with regular connections to almost every corner of the world. Hyderabad & Chennai are the major air gateways into southern India, fielding flights from all over the world.Bangalore International Airport,Kochi international airport and Thiruvananthapuram International Airport are other airports after Chennai along with and has regular connections from Middle East and South East Asia as well as popular tourist oriented charters. Other popular options are , Kozhikode Airport, Trichy Airport, Mangalore Airport and Coimbatore Airport.
Get around
South India's Dravidian architecture is quite different from the rest of India. The most obvious, and often striking, feature is the gopuram perched on every temple entrance, a stepped, steeply rising pyramid carved with layer upon layer upon layer of fantastically detailed and brightly painted statues.
Important historical temples include Mamallapuram (7-9th century) and Hampi (14-16th century),Jewish synagogue in Kochi, while the busiest active pilgrimage sites today are Tirupati, by some measures the entire world's busiest, and Madurai, which has been operating continually for over 2,500 years.
India's best scuba diving can be found in Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep.
South Indian food is quite different from that elsewhere in the country, being mostly rice-based. They also make greater use of pulses. The typical meal is sambhar or koottu (a watery curry) with rice, or avial (mixed vegetables) with rice. There are regional variations too — the coastal regions make greater use of coconut and fish. In the State of Kerala, it is common to use grated coconut in everything and coconut oil for cooking, while someone from the interior could be surprised to learn that coconut oil, can in fact, be used for cooking. Anyway, all kinds of dishes from all parts of the world can be found in cities across South India. A variety of sea food fresh from the sea can be found in cities like Kochi & Chennai.
A very incomplete list of typical standalone Southern dishes, all of which are commonly eaten for breakfast:
All of these can be eaten with Sambhar, and chutney, a condiment that can be made from practically anything. South Indian cuisine is predominantly vegetarian, though Chettinad, Andhra and Kerala cuisines use meat heavily and are a lot more spicier. Coffee (kaapi in Tamil) tends to replace tea in the south.
A South Indian speciality is the banana leaf meal. This consists of steamed rice served with about two to six vegetable dishes like sambhar, porial (a dry stir-fried dish), rasam (a thin, peppery soup), koottu along with curd and buttermilk, all spread out on a disposable and environmentally-friendly banana leaf. For a non-vegetarian meal, curries or dishes cooked with mutton, chicken or fish are included. Meals are often accompanied by crisp appalams. Refills of curry and rice are often free, with men with buckets walking around to serve you more. After a final round of rice and curds or buttermilk or both, a traditional meal is concluded with a small banana and a few betel leaves and nuts. If served on a metal tray instead of a banana leaf, a set meal like this is known as a thali instead.

2006 Mini
Kyle Smith worked in the specialty gas industry but is now a stay-at-home dad and actor living in Union City.
Back on a weekday in late August of 2005 I was looking for something to do with our two young daughters while my wife, a teacher, was getting ready for the approaching school year. I had been intrigued with the new-generation Mini since BMW introduced it in 2001 and thought it would be a hoot to drive one.
Just a test drive, mind you, with absolutely no intention of buying one. None. I only wanted to scratch the itch of my curiosity about these little cars from England.
We arrived at the dealer and asked to drive an "S" type with a stick shift, and it turned out that the only one with a stick was also a convertible, new for 2005. What the heck, it's not like we were actually going to buy the car. So I thought, "Let's take the old drop-top out for a spin."
Several things went wrong at that point. First, the dealer only needed a copy of my driver's license to send us out on our own, so there was no obnoxious salesman to detract from the driving experience. Second, the girls fit just fine into the back seat. Third, it was an exquisite day in Pleasanton, the kind of day made for a convertible (and to pity the poor fools stuck in their rolling sensory deprivation tanks).
It didn't help that the Mini handled like a slot car, accelerated like a stabbed rat and made the most delightful sounds - from the supercharger whine to the burbling exhaust. We giggled in delight as we hustled around corners, charged down straightaways or just idled at a stoplight.
My taste in cars was cemented in my teenage years during the 1970s. I've been attracted to sporty English cars as long as I can remember - how can someone not be attracted to a Jaguar XKE? - but have always been most fond of the Triumph TR6. While some would argue that the Mazda Miata/MX-5 is the spiritual successor to the late TR6, I believe a case can be made that the Mini Cooper convertible is the rightful heir. Especially if that case is being made by a family man who needs a car that can hold four people in a pinch.
My dear wife was not at all convinced that a new convertible was a necessity, but she allowed me to go ahead with the purchase of what I was now calling "my mid-life crisis car."
Almost six years later, the Mini is still a delight, and there are some idiosyncrasies that only add to the little car's charm. The trunk is only big enough for three full grocery bags, yet the lid has one of those government-mandated glow-in-the-dark emergency release handles. The rock-hard suspension and run-flat tires give the Mini a bit of a punishing ride. While this adds to the sporty feeling of the car, it has also given the Mini an assortment of squeaks and rattles that remind me of what a vintage British roadster would sound like.
The large centrally located speedometer means that everyone in the car knows exactly how fast we're going. This can actually be a benefit, since I have yet (touch wood, as the British would say) to get a ticket in the Mini.
And there is no mechanical pleasure finer than motoring down an East Bay back road with the top down, the sun shining and the wind flowing through my thinning hair.
My Ride is closed to submissions until June 1, 2012. Contact the Cars editor at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Welcome the new year with a dose of Disney magic. The latest Disney On Ice extravaganza arrives at Nassau Coliseum, opening Jan. 11.
The spectacle features Disney's inspiring heroines and their beloved stories, including those spunky royal sisters, Anna and Elsa, and the hilarious snowman Olaf, from the always popular mega-hit "Frozen." Joining this spirited pair are the always-enchanting Ariel, Belle, and the spirited Rapunzel. Their wishes come true in lively version of "The Little Mermaid," "Tangled," "Beauty & the Beast," and "Frozen."
"We are taking a fresh new spin on how we're presenting the Disney stories," says Producer Juliette Feld. "We are weaving together the four worlds of royal sisters Anna and Elsa, Ariel, Belle and Rapunzel as they each embark on their own epic journey."
In keeping with longstanding Disney tradition, it's a fast-paced spectacle,hosted by Mickey and Minnie, of course, with the assistance of the Disney on Ice Rock Stars."Each segment has its own special appeal," says Antonella Ross, who appears in the show as Ariel.
The 24-year-old skater, who is entering her second year with Disney on Ice, is eager to share her interpretation of the iconic character with audiences. "I like everything about her and am so excited to be portraying her. She is one my favorite princesses and to be able to do this is magical."
In fact, everything about "Reach for the Stars" is unforgettable, according to Ross. "It's a beautiful show. It has so many magic moments. Each segment has its own appeal with a special reveal. We have elements that are not in other shows."
Skaters burst out onto the ice to get things started with an explosion of color for the lively introduction that includes a dance-off-sing-off between the boys and girls, led by Mickey and Minnie and their crew. Families are encouraged to get up and dance along to music featured on the Disney Channel.
"It's a truly fun segment that gets the audience involved," says Ross. "Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Donald — and the Rock Stars — get everyone to their feet."
Then Ross makes her way onto the ice, as "The Little Mermaid" unfolds, to the delight of the audience. "They start screaming immediately," she says. And, of course, many fans come in costume, "which is so exciting to see."
The highlight of her segment is the Spanish web act, in which Ross' skating skills command attention. Ariel transforms from mermaid to human when she emerges from Ursula's cauldron, and dangles 35-feet over the ice, showing off her brand new legs.
"I'm actually flying the air for two minutes," she says. "I get a huge reaction, especially during the spinning part."
"Everyone will be in awe as they watch Ariel slowly pulled upwards and then rapidly twirl above the ice," says Director Patty Vincent. "This is the first time that we've captured her transformation like this in a production. That's what makes "Reach for the Stars" different, we selected scenes we've never done before and then took our time on the details to make them truly special."
"Beauty and Beast" takes on a new dimension on the ice. Every aspect is exaggerated and over the top, enticing the crowd to follow along on the adventure. Gaston leads a giant mob of villagers with real fire torches to track down and "Kill the Beast," the iconic red rose is oversized with petals that actually fall, and the castle set is whimsically shaped, giving it an animated feel.
While audiences enthusiastically respond to all the stories, it's probably "Frozen" that hold the most appeal. "Everyone is so excited when Olaf comes out," says Ross, and then they go crazy for all the Frozen characters."
And then it's time for the finale. It all wraps up with a light stick show as the Rock Stars reappear for an enthusiastic send-off. Ariel, Belle, and Rapunzel are joined back on the ice by their Disney friends, along with Anna and Elsa who return to wish the audience farewell.
Disney On Ice's Reach for the Stars
When: Thursday through Sunday, Jan. 11-14. Times vary. Tickets start at $15, available at Nassau Coliseum Box Office,
(800) 745-3000 or www.ticketmaster.com.
Where: Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale.

The Cult - Rain
The Cult, was playing Sonispherefestivals last summer.
In Sweden they played in a small music town called Hultsfred.
I was doing the spotlight on them and Metallica but when i touched the spotlight it was electric or electrified, so under most part of The Cult the technichian had to turn my spot off to fix the cables. but then in the end of their preformance the cables was fixed and the second guitar player got the lights shining on him :)

For Guy-Alain Amoussou, building bridges is the most important task of the day. No, he's not a civil engineer at work spanning a mighty waterway, he's building bridges between disciplines, between continents and between the ways we view the world in a globalized society.
For starters, students in Guy-Alain's computing sciences courses are encouraged to find ways to apply their work to the real world. That means bridging the gap between theoretical software design and creating products that can affect the way we live our lives. "In our capstone course we pick projects that are totally based in the real world, and the students always tell me it's a rewarding experience because they are building something useful for the community."
As the former director of HSU's International Programs, Guy-Alain also oversees an ever-growing group of international students on campus. Students come to Humboldt State through a variety of means, whether through Fulbright scholarships, exchange programs, as fully matriculated students or through dual-degree programs between the U.S. and their host country. All of these students get a chance to improve their English and many get an opportunity to study fields that wouldn't be available to them in their home country. They also provide something to the American students, something that Guy-Alain calls "diversity of the mind."
"In a business class with students from China, Côte d'Ivoire, Niger, India, the dynamic will be different. They will enrich the class with the synergy of their knowledge. Diversity of the mind allows students to be more flexible, more aware and ready to be engaged as professionals."
Finally, Guy-Alain sees himself as building bridges back to his native Côte d'Ivoire and his wife's home country, Benin. "My wife was riding the bus into HSU one day and a young student asked her where she was from. She replied 'Benin' and he asked 'is that in the jungle.' So I see it as a responsibility for us to teach people about Africa. For example, if I were to blindfold people and drop them in the business district of Abidjan, the commercial and administrative center of Côte d'Ivoire, you would think you were in a western city. Africa is a very different place than what we see on the news."
To that end Guy-Alain and his wife can be found serving up traditional African foods during festivals on the Arcata plaza or hosting African artists at the Bayside Grange. Both these efforts entertain and educate people in our area and help raise funds for the myriad ventures that Guy-Alain has established both here and abroad. In fact, he'll soon be returning to Africa with a team of students and educators to look for research opportunities in fields like oceanography, geography and more.

Krauss Touches on Science Educationby Brandon Stewart '08 • January 29, 2008 Share:
Through a variety of endowments and special funds, Wabash is privileged to bring a variety of different lecturers to campus. However, it is very rare that Wabash is able to bring someone of such stature as Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar, Dr. Lawrence Krauss. On Monday, he gave an evening lecture entitled, "Science, Non-Science, and Nonsense: From Aliens to Creationism" in which he discussed a variety of topics ranging from the status of science in American high schools to the interaction between religion and science.
Wabash Professor of Physics Dr. Dennis Krause introduced the evening's speaker. He explained to the audience that Krauss is the author of over 200 scientific publications, as well as numerous popular books. In addition to his many prestigious awards and scientific works, he is widely known for his ability to make complex science accessible to the general public. He has also alternatively served as a judge in the Sundance film festival and been nominated for a Grammy.
To begin, Krauss began to very animatedly declare that "science in America is in disarray." As way of proof, Krauss related that "only 47 percent of American adults knew that dinosaurs had died before humans appeared on Earth." Going on, he stated that a stunning "50 percent of adults did not know that the Earth orbits the sun and that it takes one year to finish this process."
After relating those facts, Krauss began to discuss who was to blame for what he saw as a dismal failure to educate our country on basic science. "One reason," he said "is that journalists are trained to look for two sides to every story. But in science, one side is simply wrong."
Krauss also blamed high school teachers "many of whom hadn't had a science class since high school." He also pointed to a typical science catalog that gets sent to teachers. Along with a credible video from the National Geographic Society, Krauss pointed out videos about aliens, the Loch Ness monster and other spurious scientific claims.
With all the sources of misinformation, Krauss suggested a method to distinguish fact from bunk. "There are some things you don't have to debate. Some things we know. It's over." When evaluating a claim, it's important to decide whether "there is something I know about the world that tells me that this can't be true." It is important that we seek the truth, Krauss explained, because "when truth is allowed to be blurred with impunity, we jeopardize the very basis of a healthy democratic society." In fact, he continued, the ethos of science is "honesty, full disclosure, and anti-authoritarianism."
To illustrate his point, he discussed a variety of examples where the current Administration and current Congress have edited reports or spun research in a more positive light. Krauss reacted strongly to this interaction of politics and science.
"We are censoring reports," he said loudly, "based on dogmatic reasons and is harming our children."
He then went through a variety of examples to demonstrate the tension between religion and science. He mentioned a variety of examples ranging from the Taliban's destruction of ancient Buddhist statues to a quote by Tom DeLay which seemed to suggest that the Columbine shootings were a result of the teaching of evolution in class.
That last example led Krauss to discuss the emergence of intelligent design theory, which he described as "simply opposed to evolution." He criticized religious persons who refuse to accept scientific facts, seeking to replace the way the world is for the way they would like it to be. For such persons, Krauss declared, "science is immoral because God does not play an explicit role."
Krauss criticized the "marketing efforts" of ID proponents. Appealing to people's sense of fairness, proponents demand that ID be taught in schools along with evolution. Krauss dismissed this suggestion, suggesting that advocates of ID were "seeking to short circuit the scientific process."
"The purpose of education," Krauss declared, "is to overcome ignorance, not validate it."
Furthermore, he suggested that much of the modern tension between religion and science or science and politics is because people are afraid of science. But Krauss explained, "Science is not the enemy, ignorance is the issue."
There were a variety of reactions to the lecture among the packed Salter hall. Overall, however, audience members were pleased with the lecture. "It was both illuminating and enlightening," said Clifford Hull '11. Senior Biology major Andrew Rodenbarger agreed, "I thought it was pretty good. However, he didn't really comment on anything that could be disagreed with. He stuck to the facts."
Krauss will give a noontime lecture on Tuesday in Baxter Hall 101 entitled "Einstein's Biggest Blunder?: A Cosmic Mystery Story."

Succession & Estate Planning
Estate Planning is about retaining and passing on wealth from generation to generation, while ensuring family unity, individual growth and a sense of contribution. The preparation and maintenance of an estate plan is an effective way to ensure that your client's estate is passed onto their chosen beneficiaries, with certainty and in the most financially efficient and tax effective way.
Succession Planning plays a critical role in estate planning, as it guides the direction of the individual or family and can help prompt sometimes hard conversations in relation to what comes next. Given that the succession and estate planning process can take anywhere from six months to five or more years, it is vital that your clients start to address these areas as soon as possible.
David Foulds and Andrew Gray are Succession & Estate Planning specialists. They will guide you through the different stages that a business owner goes through when contemplating the future of their business, and the structures that may be helpful in ensuring that the family grow and develop from the succession process. David and Andrew will also address how good estate planning can support business or wealth succession plans and vice-versa.
Key takeaways:
- Business management succession
- Estate planning process
- Impact of holding wealth in trusts
- Superannuation in estate planning under new laws
- Grow or sell the family business
- Distribution or retention of family wealth
- Thinking as an owner versus thinking as a manager

1.4 The Home and the Church
In the teachings and practices of the restored gospel, the family and the Church help and strengthen each other. To qualify for the blessings of eternal life, families need to learn the doctrines and receive the priesthood ordinances that are available only through the Church. To be a strong and vital organization, the Church needs righteous families.
God has revealed a pattern of spiritual progress for individuals and families through ordinances, teaching, programs, and activities that are home centered and Church supported. Church organizations and programs exist to bless individuals and families and are not ends in themselves. Priesthood and auxiliary leaders and teachers seek to assist parents, not to supersede or replace them.
Priesthood and auxiliary leaders must endeavor to strengthen the sacredness of the home by ensuring that all Church activities support the lives of individuals and families. Church leaders need to be careful not to overwhelm families with too many Church responsibilities. Parents and Church leaders work together to help individuals and families return to our Father in Heaven by following Jesus Christ.
Strengthening the Home
Followers of Christ are invited to "gather," "stand in holy places," and "be not moved" (D&C 45:32; 87:8; 101:22; see also 2 Chronicles 35:5; Matthew 24:15). These holy places include temples, homes, and chapels. The presence of the Spirit and the behavior of those within these physical structures are what make them "holy places."
Wherever Church members live, they should establish a home where the Spirit is present. All members of the Church can make efforts to ensure that their place of residence provides a place of sanctuary from the world. Every home in the Church, large or small, can be a "house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a
A home with loving and loyal parents is the setting in which the spiritual and physical needs of children are most effectively met. A Christ-centered home offers adults and children a place of defense against sin, refuge from the world, healing from emotional and other pain, and committed, genuine love.
Parents have always been commanded to bring up their children "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4; Enos 1:1) and "in light and truth" (D&C 93:40). The First Presidency proclaimed:
"We call upon parents to devote their best efforts to the teaching and rearing of their children in gospel principles which will keep them close to the Church. The home is the basis of a righteous life, and no other instrumentality can take its place or fulfill its essential functions in carrying forward this God-given responsibility.
"We counsel parents and children to give highest priority to family prayer, family home evening, gospel study and instruction, and wholesome family activities. However worthy and appropriate other demands or activities may be, they must not be permitted to displace the divinely-appointed duties that only parents and families can adequately perform" (First Presidency letter, Feb. 11, 1999).
Parents have the primary responsibility for helping their children know Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ (see John 17:3). Latter-day Saint fathers and mothers have been commanded to teach gospel doctrines, ordinances, covenants, and ways of righteous living to their children (see D&C 68:25–28). Children who are so reared and taught are more likely to be prepared at the appropriate age to receive priesthood ordinances and to make and keep covenants with God.
Strengthening individuals and families is the focus of ministering (see D&C 20:47, 51) and inspired Church programs such as family home evening. As in all things, Jesus set the example of entering homes to care for, teach, and bless (see Matthew 8:14–15; 9:10–13; 26:6; Mark 5:35–43; Luke 10:38–42; 19:1–9).
Family Home Evening
Latter-day prophets have counseled parents to hold a weekly family home evening to teach their children the gospel, bear testimony of its truthfulness, and strengthen family unity. Stake and ward leaders are to keep Monday evenings free from all Church meetings and activities so family home evenings may be held.
Family home evening may include family prayer, gospel instruction, testimony sharing, hymns and Primary songs, and wholesome recreational activities. (For information on using music in the home, see 14.8.) As part of family home evening, or separately, parents may also call a periodic family council to set goals, resolve problems, coordinate schedules, and give support and strength to family members.
Family home evening is sacred, private family time under the direction of the parents. Priesthood leaders should not give directions as to what families should do during this time.
Strengthening Individuals
Church leaders should give special attention to individuals who do not presently enjoy the support of a family of strong Church members. These members may include children and youth whose parents are not members of the Church, other individuals in part-member families, and single adults of all ages. They are covenant members of God's eternal family, deeply loved by Him. These individuals should be given opportunities for service in the Church. The Church can provide wholesome sociality and fellowship that these members can find nowhere else.
Every member of the Church is as precious as every other. God's eternal plan provides for all of His faithful children to receive every blessing of eternal life, exalted in families forever.

The government shutdown is affecting crucial veterinary programs that ensure the welfare of animals and protect the public, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).
The AVMA has called upon Congress to reopen the U.S. government so that the nation's federal employees who promote the health and welfare of animals, guard the country against disease outbreaks and ensure food safety can get back to work.
"Not only is Congress affecting the lives of more than 800,000 federal employees by its lack of action, it is compromising the health and well-being of millions of animals," says Ron DeHaven, DVM, AVMA's chief executive officer. "Each day that the U.S. government is shut down, we are faced with a dwindling supply of available vaccines to keep livestock healthy, a lack of inspections that protect animals from abuse, and a dearth of food safety inspections. Our elected officials need to double down on their efforts to come to a bipartisan, bicameral agreement, and put Americans back to work so they can continue protecting the health and welfare of animals and the public."
Many key veterinary programs have been affected by the government shutdown, including, but not limited to:
- The closure of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service's (APHIS) Center for Veterinary Biologics (CVB), which verifies the safety of animal vaccines before releasing them into the marketplace. Most food-producing companies only hold a one- or two-week inventory of major vaccines, meaning that they could soon run out of their supply if the CVB is unable to release new batches after a two-week period. Food-animal producers may soon be forced not to vaccinate their flocks or herds, which will endanger herd health, food safety and public health.
- The APHIS office that conducts inspections of animal facilities such as pet breeders, zoos and research facilities to ensure that animals are being given the proper care, per the health and welfare guidelines set by the Animal Welfare Act, has been suspended.
- Though the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) will continue carrying out food safety inspections of meat and poultry products, the Food and Drug Administration will cease operations of its program that inspects the safety of seafood and dairy products.
- Important research conducted by veterinary researchers approved for funding by the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) may experience delays in receiving grants during the shutdown.
- The Centers for Disease Control, which monitors for foodborne illnesses, has been forced to reduce its staff, leaving the public more vulnerable to disease outbreaks.
"We look to our elected officials in Congress, especially those who are part of the U.S. House Veterinary Medicine Caucus, to exert their leadership and help Congress rise above the partisan bickering to do what is right for both Americans and our nation's livestock and pets," DeHaven says.

Hampshire County Council is celebrating the successful completion of its Enterprise Education Programme: 'Innovating for the Future', which was delivered in schools across Hampshire.
Innovating for the Future encouraged school children to become the next generation of entrepreneurs by teaching them practical business techniques. These ranged from developing a product or service to creating business plans, carrying out market research, managing finances and marketing their products.
Twenty schools took part in the programme which included a range of enterprise activities. More than 3,000 students took part in Enterprise Days and 'Dragons Den' style challenges, with local business people on hand to provide inspiration and business advice, and 42 school companies were created through the Future Innovators element of the programme.
The culmination of the programme was a Future Innovators Trade Expo, where students got to show off what they had learnt and the products and services they had invented, from customised clothing to celebrity endorsed cookbooks, which were scrutinised by a panel of judges from local businesses.
Leader of Hampshire County Council, Councillor Roy Perry, said: "The whole programme has been a huge success by helping children and young people thrive and achieve their full potential by providing opportunities for all to develop the skills needed to play a full part in the future of Hampshire's economic success. I've been hugely impressed by the quality of business ideas I have seen and the enthusiasm of the students who have so professionally presented their ideas."
Innovating for the Future was run on behalf of Hampshire County Council by a consortium consisting of the Portsmouth and South East Hampshire Education Business Partnership (lead partner), Basingstoke Consortium, First Partnership and Solent EBP.
Cath Longhurst, Portsmouth and South East Hampshire Education Business Partnership, said: "It has been brilliant seeing how so many young people have learnt real skills about business that will help them in the future. There are some real entrepreneurs amongst these students, they have some great ideas and have shown tenacity and enthusiasm in getting this far. I would like to thank all the business people, who gave their time to mentor students, and Hampshire County Council, for giving us the opportunity to run this project."
Hampshire County Council continues to make work related training a priority with the creation of 1,000 apprenticeships and traineeships over the next five years under the Hampshire Youth Investment Programme. The programme gives young people real work experience and an opportunity to gain vocational qualifications. Apprentices and trainees receive on and off the job training, with opportunities as diverse as mechanics, administration, rangers, and teaching assistants.

Best Kids Parties: Lalaloopsy
Name: Emily (4)
Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado
My daughter chose to do her 4th birthday in a Lalaloopsy theme. She loves the little button eyed dolls and bright colors. I have to admit that I think they are fun and cute too, so I was super excited to plan this party for her.
For the past two months leading up to her birthday I visited craft supply stores in search of colorful items and all things buttons. It was actually quite easy to find things, especially since it is summer. I bought a lot of items either in the dollar bins or in the clearance section. One of my favorite dollar items were the colorful doilies that I strung with a measuring tape.
I made cupcakes and button cookies from a recipe I saw on Pinterest. I saved myself time and bought a store bought white plain cake and just added the Peanut Big Top topper, sprinkles and candies. I have never been great at baking cakes especially since we are high altitude.
We played two games, Hoop Toss and Pass the Button (hot potato). The party guests each glued on buttons to a wooden frame and took those home. Each guest was given a favor bag that included, Lalaloopsy markers, notepad, stickers, bubbles, measuring tape, and candy buttons.
The best part was how excited my daughter was when she saw me put it all together. She said to me, "wow this is amazing mommy!"
Thanks, Jennifer! Readers, visit Jennifer at Fran & Jen & Emily.

Latest portfolio - Lyonia: A Florida Upland
This body of work was created at the Lyonia Preserve in Deltona, Florida. It is a prelude to another portfolio Fifteen Preludes to Lyonia. Lyonia and the few habitats like it left in Florida often are referred to as an "upland" (meaning high and dry) or a "scrub" habitat which is aptly named after the Scrub Jay bird native to Florida and this habitat.
New book published

It contains 123 photographs along with background information about each portfolio and her personal thoughts and experiences of the entire photographic process.
Every photograph and print by the photographer Lee Dunkel is a performanceas classic as a Renoir, as edgy and smart as Brubeck's 'Take Five'and faithful to the nature of the artist."— Stephen Crowley, Staff photographer, The New York Times

Wee update
I'm just back from a short holiday in Berlin with my girlfriend (our first holiday together!) and I was in London before that for a work conference. Busy busy busy. This weekend I have a family friend staying with me but to be quite honest what I'd really like to do is just have a quiet one, sit around in my PJs and watch crap TV. Unfortunately all these social events seem to all happen at once. So hard to be popular and in demand, haha!
Something I'm quite excited about right now though is that I've joined a local community garden. It's a charity project which gives people in the neighbourhood a chance to get involved in growing our own vegetables. We're just planning what to grow next year and I'm really looking forward to it. I've never grown anything before so it'll probably be a bit of trial and error but there are more experienced members who will be on hand to help. The area I live in has mostly flats, so it's great to have a space and the facilities to grow our own veg.
So that's it really for now, nothing to complain about!
I hope everyone has got their Christmas jumpers on, not long now till Santa comes!!

Squirrel, what a great project. I hope you will take photos along the way and share with us. Also, thanks for sharing that life is going well for you. It is so good to hear!!! And who doesn't ALWAYS want to sit around in Pj's watching crap on TV. It is my dream life! Every day I think I have free for this gets filled. :(ReplyDelete
A community garden sounds great! There is nothing like the taste of fresh veggies (especially if you grew them!), not to mention the mental and physical health benefits of gardening and community involvement. And, I second Cathy: I would love to see pictures!ReplyDelete
Also, glad you had a nice holiday with your girlfriend :) Once again, I will express my jealousy of where you live!ReplyDelete
I will definitely provide pictures! We're sharing most of the produce but we're split into teams who will look after different vegetables. My team is going to be responsible for the broccoli, brussel sprouts, beetroot, parsnip, peas and salad leaves. Yum yum.ReplyDelete

Brevard selects Sheffield as dean
Brevard College recently named Scott Sheffield vice president of academic affairs and dean of faculty. Sheffield has held the position in an interim capacity since July.
"Scott has made exceptional contributions to Brevard College during his tenure, and his expertise and experience make him an outstanding choice as the next dean," Brevard College President David C. Joyce said. "We look forward to his continued leadership in this critical position."
Sheffield joined the faculty of Brevard College in 1993. As associate professor of history and coordinator of the history major, he taught courses in modern European history and the history of science as a part of the college's history program.
His research interests focus on science, society and culture in the 20th century and, in particular, he has done extensive research on the life and scientific work of the Hungarian-born physicist Leo Szilard.

Week 46. Politics. What are your childhood memories of politics? Were your parents active in politics? What political events and elections do you remember from your youth?
This challenge runs from Saturday, November 12, 2011 through Friday, November 18, 2011.
Politics, eh? They say to never discuss religion or politics if you want to keep a conversation friendly. If this blog post is really short, you'll know I wrote a whole bunch and then decided against posting it for one reason or another. I'm actually concerned that posting this could come back and bite me at some future time, depending on where our country and world go from here.
To the best of my knowledge, neither of my parents were politically active beyond voting every four years, and I'm not entirely positive they always did even that much. People in my neighborhood didn't seem to talk about politics that much, at least not with us kids around.
I am young enough that I wasn't around when Kennedy was shot. I don't really remember Lyndon B. Johnson. I do, however, remember Richard M. Nixon saying he was not a crook, not a quitter, and then resigning before he could be impeached. I remember liking Gerald Ford despite the lampooned trips that would get laughs for many years afterward. I thought he should have been elected in place of Jimmy Carter. Not that I didn't like Jimmy Carter, I just didn't think he was the right man for President. Looking back, I still think we'd have been better off with Gerald Ford.
I was still too young to vote in 1980, but I was pulling for Ronald Reagan to win. Apparently I was quite a little conservative in my youth. In 1984, I came of age and voted for his re-election. Then I joined the Navy as he was building up to a 600-ship force. George Bush the Elder continued that plan in 1988, and as I was on active duty, that meant more possibility for me to get advanced, and pretty much guaranteed pay raises even if not advanced.
I was still on active duty in 1992 when Bill Clinton got elected. Again, I thought he was the wrong man for the job, though in hindsight, the country did pretty well on the whole under his leadership. I never did favor him while he was in office, and I still think he and Hillary got off easy with their scandals. However, by the end of their terms, I was beginning to like where the country was at, and headed, and it looked like Al Gore might move further in that direction. I especially liked the push toward renewable energy and lessening our dependence on foreign oil. That has always struck me as a poor thing from a national security standpoint, and it still does.
Unfortunately, Al Gore didn't fight for the presidency as hard as George Bush the Younger. However you may feel about that election, I still believe the Republicans stole it from the people. And that's the turning point when I realized the Republican Party no longer represented my interests. Neither, though, did the Democratic Party, and to this day I have no allegiance to either. In fact, I never officially joined any political party. It has become apparent to me that all of them have greed and corruption of one sort or another, none of them represent anything but power grabs for their top players, and even more so for people behind the scenes like Karl Rove during George W. Bush's terms, and the Koch brothers in the current political situation
I tend to agree with whoever said that anybody who actually wants the job of President should be automatically disqualified from holding that job.

The Lumia 920T for China Mobile
We've seen a lot of the Lumia 920T in the last few weeks as the Chinese variant was getting ready for its debut. Now word has it that China Mobile has officially announced the device for a November launch, ahead of the mid December timeframe originally hinted at just a few weeks ago. Rumor has it that China Mobile (and probably Nokia) want to beat the iPhone 5 to market and to be honest we can't blame them.
The Lumia 920T is essentially the same as the current Lumia 920 but features some different radios to work with China Mobile's network, including TD-SCDMA ( 3G), GSM (2G) and TD-LTE (4G). Not too shabby. One thing is for certain: having the Lumia 920T on such a large network (655 million subscribers) is a very good thing for Nokia.

In foreign countries, there are many ways to keep track of students to ensure they are in school when they should be. In Thailand, most schools enforce a uniform rule and students caught during school hours in a uniform at an entertainment location can be reported to the police to send them back to their educational facilities. In Brazil, things go a step further. Not only do students have to wear uniforms, their clothes are outfitted with micro-locator chips that alert parents if their students aren't where they're supposed to be.
In the state of Bahia, Brazil, at least 20,000 students in the 25 selected public students from the city of Vitoria da Conquista are required to wear uniforms with these chips, whether they are installed in their T-shirts, under their sleeves, or behind a school badge. These students, between the ages of 4 to 14, must keep their "intelligent uniforms" on during school hours. When students get to school, parents will get a text message to let them know their children have arrived. If students step outside of school premises or do not show up to a class after 20 minutes, parents will also receive a text that reads, "Your child has still not arrived at school." If a student has been alerted of cutting classes three times, parents must explain their absences or the student gets reported to authorities.
"We noticed that many parents would bring their children to school but would not see if they actually entered the building because they always left in a hurry to get to work on time," said Coriolano Moraes, the city's education director. "They would always be surprised when told of the number times their children skipped class."
The concept is similar to chips that help track and locate pets. The chips are reportedly so strong that "tampering [is] virtually impossible," and these intelligent uniforms can be washed and ironed without any damage. City government is investing $670,000 to design the intelligent uniforms to address the unacceptable number of students skipping class, with the hope that by 2013, the city's 43,000 students will all be required to wear these micro-locator chips. Brazil official believes this method will be a solution to keeping students in school, and hopes to be a trendsetter for other cities and countries to follow suit.
Do you believe government officials are going too far by forcing students to wear locator chips and track them like pets? The idea seemed interesting until the comparison to locating pets, because it reminded us of those leashes parents put on young kids to keep them in sight. Children aren't pets, and shouldn't be treated like them, but they do need an authoritative method to keep them in class. Another thing to think about is how easily it could be for students to bring a change of clothes after they've arrived to school to keep their intelligent uniform within school grounds while they're out cutting class. Never underestimate children's intelligence!

SACRAMENTO — Gov. Jerry Brown proclaimed last week that California, which now has enough cash to pay its day-to-day bills, can no longer be described by naysayers as a "failed state."
But even though it appears to be free of the deficit that dogged the Capitol in recent years, the state is no model of financial health.
Sacramento is legally obligated to pay many billions of dollars withheld from schools, local governments and healthcare providers as lawmakers struggled repeatedly to balance the books. It owes Wall Street more per resident than almost every other state. And it has accumulated a crushing load of debt for retiree pensions and healthcare, now totaling more than taxpayers spend each year on all state programs combined.
The budget Brown proposed Thursday addresses only a small portion of the overall debt, which stems from the same types of bills that drove cities like Vallejo, Stockton and San Bernardino into bankruptcy. The state is likely to find its debt consuming an ever larger share of money meant for the basic needs of government.

Should We Be Interested In 'Saving' Any Industry?
from the forward-or-backwards dept
"I'm not even slightly interested in saving the industry."And it got me thinking about understanding the mindset of "saving" an industry more deeply. The truth is, whenever anyone seriously (not mockingly) refers to "saving" an industry, invariably, they're really talking about saving a few legacy companies in that industry from whatever disruptive innovation is shaking things up. It's never actually about "saving an industry," because the "industry" almost never actually needs to be saved. The industry may be in the process of being changed (often radically), but that's not the same thing as needing saving.
What's telling is that, through all of this, you almost never hear start-ups talking about asking for help trying to "save the industry" that they're in. That's because they know "the industry" is just fine, and in all of the upheaval there's really tremendous opportunity. So, anytime anyone talks seriously about "saving" any particular industry, challenge them on what they really mean, and see if they're actually just talking about saving a few companies, rather than saving an actual "industry."

Boston Architectural College
Story by Allison Postlethwait
The Boston Architectural College was pleased to host the 6th annual Gala Preview Party for AD2021: Art & Design of the 20th and 21st Centuries & The Boston Print Fair to benefit the College. More than 600 guests attended the event at the Cyclorama at the Boston Center for the Arts on Thursday, March 21 to show their support for the BAC, and to preview this year's collection of modern art and design at the annual show produced by Tony Fusco and Robert Four.
The AD20/21 Gala Preview Party is The Boston Architectural College's premier fundraising event of the year, attracting hundreds of guests from the BAC and Boston's vibrant design community, and has been an important opportunity for the College to raise funds that enhance student experience and allow the College to continue to educate the finest emerging design professionals. This year marked the best attendance ever.
"The BAC is grateful for the support this Gala provides toward educating the next generation of emerging designers and the public as to what values are inherent in great 20th-century design," said BAC President Ted Landsmark. "The annual AD20/21 Gala tonight celebrated Boston collector John Axelrod and brought together happy supporters of great 20th Century design and fine art who also support the BAC. Collectors, educators, students, professional designers, museum curators, bon vivants, and friends found outstanding decorative arts and fine art assembled by dealers committed to advancing knowledge of the artistic attributes that underlie the rapid rise in values of the 20th Century arts that inspire innovative 21st Century interior designs."
Guests included architects, decorative arts and interior design specialists, landscape architects, museum curators, furniture dealers, builders, developers and real estate professionals, collectors, artists, bankers, fashionistas and photographers, BAC trustees, overseers, faculty, and students. John P. Axelrod, collector and philanthropist, was awarded with the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Estate Jewelry and Loan will soon open on Reid Avenue but Port St. Joe city commissioner�s reaction to the word �loan� raised questions regarding Nicholas DiLallo�s business.
Estate Jewelry and Loan will soon open on Reid Avenue but Port St. Joe city commissioner�s reaction to the word �loan� raised questions regarding Nicholas DiLallo�s business.
Due to an ordinance set in 1969 requiring pawn licenses to be issued only with approval by city commissioners. DiLallo went before the group last month and made his request but the request was tabled.
Commissioner Rex Buzzett and Mayor Mel Magidson, Jr. were apprehensive about the pawn aspect of the business and wanted to discuss the addition with other business owners in the area.
The commissioners scheduled a hearing for Tuesday where a final decision will be reached.
�My concern was that it appeared we may be approving something so rapidly that other businesses may not find out what he�s doing,� said Buzzett. �We wanted to make sure it was compatible with what Reid Avenue has done over the past few years with the fa�ade program.�
According to DiLallo, his business will be focused on jewelry and hard-to-find collectibles that include sports memorabilia, bronzes and paintings.
With the permission of commissioners he plans to offer discreet loan services for those in need.
�There aren�t going to be neon lights everywhere. It�s not going to be lawnmowers and junk,� said DiLallo, who moved to the area last month from Miami. �I believe in my heart that Port St. Joe could use a jewelry store.
�I collect older things that people look for. I go to watch shows all over the country. I can get things that people are going to want, and if they�re looking for something in particular, I want to be their local guy.�
DiLallo said that there hadn�t been a stable jewelry store in town since 1970 and aimed to remedy that.
Since DiLallo purchased the building on Reid Avenue that he will share with Joseph�s Cottage, there has been an air of mystery around the shop.
The windows have been covered with brown paper and very few people have been inside.
DiLallo said that he�s not hiding anything, but rather is proud of the renovations he completed on the storefront and wanted to build anticipation for the grand opening.
�If locals want to buy a nice piece of jewelry or watch for a birthday present or anniversary gift, I can do that for them,� he said. �Right now, if they need to buy a watch battery, they have to go all the way to Panama City.�
Patrick Jones of Talcor Commercial Real Estate sold DiLallo the building in January and praised the owner for the upgrades he made to the space.
�It will blend in with everything else we have on Reid and tourists will see its value and quality,� said Jones. �(DiLallo) has invested money into the community and that�s a positive aspect.�
The business owner and his wife, Theresa, vacationed to Gulf County three times a year for the last eight years. Like many of those who visit the area, they fell in love with the beaches, weather and community that was smaller and tightly knit.
�It�s where we want to retire,� said DiLallo. �People here go to church on Sunday. Not everyone�s rushing around like in Miami.�
Since 1992 DiLallo has worked in the Miami pawn business. Over the years he has accumulated rare jewelry of all types, interesting collectibles and antiques. He said that he enjoyed making the deal and having fun in the process.
�It�s my thing,� said DiLallo. �People will be able to get second-hand goods at a great deal.�
After saving for 25 years, DiLallo sold his Miami store last month and bought a home in Mexico Beach.
He plans for Estate Jewelry and Loan to be open by the end of October in time for the annual Ghosts on the Coast event.
�I want to serve the locals and the tourists,� said DiLallo. �I want people to see that we�re there, and a part of it.�
Despite the initial tabling of the application for a pawn license, Buzzett seemed supportive of DiLallo�s endeavor.
�It�s a quality-looking place and I think it�ll be fine, but we have to be careful about what we allow,� said the commissioner. �The next guy may not have the quality vision that Nicholas does. We don�t want to open a can of worms.�

|Aids-HIV Could be cured in 4 years time says Noble Prize professor Luc Montagnier

WE COULD HAVE HIV-AIDS CURE IN 4 YEARS WITH PROBER FUNDING says the professor that found HIV Oct 13, 2008
Hi Guys, you are our shining light with the countless hours and time you put into helping people with hiv live a normal life... Noble prize winner prof Luc Montagnier has stated a cure for hiv can be on hand with in 4 years with proper govement funding, what do you know about this Guys ??? Has Prof Luc hit the jackbot ??? he is a genius and will make 40 million people so happy if this can happen.... Dr what do you know about this possible cure in 4 years time ???
'There could be an Aids vaccine in four years,' says Nobel Prize winner By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 9:54 PM on 06th October 2008
Comments (31) Add to My Stories Professor Luc Montagnier believes a 'therapeutic' cure is in sight A French scientist awarded the Nobel Prize for discovering the Aids virus has predicted there would be a 'therapeutic vaccine' for the disease within four years. Luc Montagnier and his team discovered HIV at the French Pasteur Institute in Paris 25 years ago, and have been awarded the prestigious prize along with other scientists who worked on discovering the root of the virus.
Montagnier, 76, said a treatment could be possible in the future with a 'therapeutic' rather than preventive vaccine for which results might be published in three or four years if financial backing is forthcoming. 'I think it will be possible with a therapeutic vaccine rather than preventative vaccinations. We would give it to people who are already infected. A therapeutic vaccine prevents disease from flourishing after it has taken hold. The Nobel Assembly of Sweden's Karolinska Institute praised their work, saying: 'The discovery was one prerequisite for the current understanding of the biology of the disease and its antiretroviral treatment.'
Response from Dr. Young
Thank you for your post.
I hope the eminent Dr. Montagnier is right, though I'm skeptical that such advances will happen in this short a period (sort of like presidential candidates saying that they will balance the federal budget).
Nevertheless, certainly with a global commitment to providing HIV research, prevention and treatment, many, indeed millions of lives can be bettered.

I have the same comments as I did on Nov. 26th. You might ask why the same order 2 months later ... the case was not designed nor did I expect it to survive being thrown off the trunk of my car as I took a turn at 20 MPH. It did hold up well but I got a new phone so I figure I should have a new case.
