Facts about the 1964 Ford Falcon Convertibleby Michael Bailey
American Motors stunned the automobile industry with the wildly successful 1958 reintroduction of its compact Rambler. It was an easy-to-handle second car aimed at housewives in the suburbs. The Rambler actually moved AMC into the Big Three when it outsold Plymouth for a short time in 1959. Studebaker's 1959 Lark, and cars like the 1960 Plymouth Valiant and Ford Falcon, emphatically demonstrated that Detroit had noticed. By 1964, the Falcon was well-established and sporting a fresh new style.
Level Flight Model
The Falcon marked a design departure for Ford, and used a unitized body like the Rambler, instead of a traditional, body-on-frame design. The floor pan and frame were welded as a unit. The firewall, rear panels, rear cabin bracing and crossmembers were designed to interlock the frame with two side panels and a roof section. This type of construction, derived from aviation technology, is very lightweight and extremely rigid, but transmits much more road noise and feel than a full-frame design with a separate cabin. The unitized chassis has become by far the most dominant design in the industry today. The wheelbase of the 1964 Falcon was 109.5 inches. It rode on independent coil springs in front and leaf springs in back. The front track was 56 inches and the rear track was 52 inches. Cars equipped with the inline six had 9-inch brake drums with four lugs, and V-8 models had five lugs with 10-inch brake drums. Six-cylinder convertibles and wagons had 157 square inches of brake lining, and all V-8 Falcons had 154 square inches of brake lining. All models came with 13-inch wheels. Tires for the convertible were 6.50 inches wide for sixes and 7.00 inches wide for V-8s.
Heart of a Predator
Base power for the 1964 Falcon was the 85-horsepower, 144-cubic-inch Falcon Six, which was not available in convertibles. The convertible's standard Falcon 170 Special Six made 101 horsepower with 170 cubic inches, and the Falcon 200 Special Six offered 116 horsepower with 200 cubic inches. The original Falcon's 260-cubic-inch, 164-horsepower Challenger 260 V-8 was continued, but had been replaced with the world-beating 289 by the end of 1964. All Sprint models featured the Challenger 260, renamed the Sprint 260, as standard equipment, and added a tuned air cleaner and muffler, along with special engine trim. The Sprint 260 was also rated at 164 horsepower. The new 289 became the Falcon Sprint's standard engine late in the model year. Manual-transmission clutches for the sixes had an 8.5-inch diameter and V-8 clutch diameter was 10 inches. The base transmission was a three-speed manual with synchronized second and third gears, except on the Falcon 200 Special. The Falcon 200 and V-8 models featured a fully-synchronized, three-speed manual. A fully-synchronized, four-speed manual was optional on all Falcons except station wagons. The two-speed, Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission was built by Borg-Warner and used a vacuum throttle body. The automatic was optional for all Falcons, except those equipped with the base Falcon Six.
For 1964, the Falcon was restyled along the same lines as the fresh new Galaxie, with a more squared-off and aggressive, forward-leaning look. Convertible and hardtop bodies were reinforced around the doors and below the floor pan. The reinforcement was necessary in these models to mitigate the loss of support compared to sedans that resulted from elimination of the B-pillar. The subframe assembly for the powered convertible top also reinforced chassis strength and added some rigidity. The Falcon was offered in three trim levels. Buyers could choose from the base Falcon, the Falcon Futura and the Falcon Sprint. The Convertible was only offered in the Futura and Sprint trim levels. Chrome rocker panel covers were optional for both convertible models. Available roof colors for the convertible were black, white and blue. A color-keyed vinyl tonneau cover for the lowered roof was optional. Both the Sprint and Futura convertibles were offered in 12 solid colors and 12 two-tone paint combinations.
Clear for Takeoff
Both the Futura and Sprint featured full-width, separate front seats upholstered in vinyl, with vinyl bucket seats offered as part of the Sport package for both models. There were 10 vinyl colors to choose from in the Futura, and five in the Sprint, along with full carpeting, courtesy lighting and a color-keyed steering wheel with chrome trim. Sprint convertibles featured padded sunvisors. Optional equipment included power steering, a padded dashboard, seat belts, radio, a heater-defroster and air conditioning.
Bag Your Bird
The 1964 and 1965 Falcons were very popular, and good examples are easy to find today. It makes a very attractive alternative to the Mustang and offers similar performance for street builders and racers alike, at a much cheaper entry point. The Mustang was based on the Falcon and the two models shared many parts, making the mechanical part of a restoration relatively pain-free. Values can vary widely, depending on equipment. Since the 1960 entry of the Falcon into the market, the Ranchero series had been realigned from the Fairlane to the Falcon in design, styling and equipment. That means another possible source for parts, or even a unique, yet matching companion to tow the Falcon with. Clean, running 1964 and 1965 Falcons can still be found in early 2014 for a few thousand dollars. This is only a general rule, however, and convertible versions of any American car will always command a bonus over other models in the same condition, with the same equipment. This is especially true with V-8 Futura and Sprint convertibles. The National Automobile Dealers Association estimates a low retail value of $4,725 for a six-cylinder 1964 Futura convertible with a four-speed, in drivable condition. It estimates a high retail value of $18,450 for the same car in excellent condition. For the Sprint and its standard V-8, these values rise to $10,200 for drivable cars in need of repair, and $37,050 for excellent examples with the 289, four-speed and air conditioning. Options like bucket seats, tonneau cover, seat belts and padded dashboard should also be expected to raise the asking price.

After a year-and-a-half of teases and anticipation, the folks hoping to bring the 2024 Summer Olympics to Washington will finally find out Thursday if they’ll move on to the next stage. The US Olympic Committee’s executives are scheduled to meet at Denver International Airport at 4:15 PM to announce their selection, then board a plane to the chosen city—either DC, Boston, Los Angeles, or San Francisco.
Of course, there’s a lot more to anticipate than just a simple announcement. Given the DC Olympic bid’s ability to turn even the most committed pro-development types into panicking NIMBYs, it’s first worth reminding everyone that the 2024 Olympics will take place more than nine years from now, not next week. The USOC’s choice is not the final decision either, as whatever city the organization picks will proceed to spend nearly three years wining and dining the International Olympic Committee, which will select a 2024 host in September 2017.
Local officials are all for it. Mayor Muriel Bowser joined Wizards owner Ted Leonsis and the rest of the Washington 2024 leadership on their final sales pitch to the USOC in December, and the bid also has the unanimous support of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, which represents 22 jurisdictions.
Winning an Olympic bid would certainly give Washington an incentive to fast-track many of its infrastructure priorities. Although all four US cities reportedly submitted budgets of less than $5 billion to the USOC, DC’s bid would still require a lot of new construction. The centerpiece of the bid is believed to be an Olympic stadium on the site of the dilapidated RFK Stadium, which could then be repurposed after the Games to be a new home for Washington’s NFL team. Organizers also envision building an Olympic village east of the Anacostia River, though there’s an immediate and valid concern whether that post-Games housing would be affordable to low- and middle-income residents. It also gives the entire region a motivation to upgrade Metro’s shoddy reputation as a people-mover.
But as CityLab’s Kriston Capps pointed out yesterday, the DC government has already shown its committment to building sporting venues whether or not there are Olympics in the city’s future. (To wit: look at publicly funded Nationals Park or the forthcoming DC United stadium, which will cost taxpayers up to $150 million.) An Olympic bid could be just the kick in the pants needed to focus on the non-sporting components of the Olympics, like efficient transportation and sustainable housing.
Then again, if panic is your thing, tune into Olympics Twitter at 4:15 and steel yourself for the announcement. If Washington is chosen, there will be a local press availability somewhere in Washington tomorrow, followed by as long as nine-and-a-half years to stage your home for the most outlandish Airbnb listing ever.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
May 26, 1976
M & M TRANSPORTATION COMPANY, Plaintiff,
U.S. INDUSTRIES, INC. and the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Defendants
The opinion of the court was delivered by: CONNER
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
CONNER, District Judge.
Plaintiff in the above-captioned action stakes its jurisdictional claims on the grounds of diversity and the purported existence of a federal question, coupled with an amount in controversy exceeding $10,000. Presently under consideration are defendants' motions to dismiss, pursuant to Rule 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6) F.R.Civ.P., for absence of subject matter jurisdiction and for failure to state a claim upon which relief might be granted.
So far as is relevant herein, the facts, as recited in plaintiff's amended complaint, are as follows. Plaintiff, a Massachusetts corporation, was formerly a member of an "affiliated group," within the meaning of 26 U.S.C. § 1504, of which the corporate defendant (USI), organized under the laws of Delaware and having its principal place of business in New York, was common parent. Pursuant to the provisions of 26 U.S.C. § 1501, the USI group filed a consolidated federal income tax return for calendar year 1971; plaintiff has alleged that it paid, through the agency of USI, its own portion of the group's 1971 federal income tax liability, as allocated in accordance with 26 U.S.C. § 1552(a)(1).
Since May 1973, when USI sold its stock in plaintiff to a third corporation, plaintiff has been a member of another affiliated group. The latter, through its common parent corporation, filed a consolidated return for calendar year 1973, which reflected, inter alia, a net operating loss derived solely from plaintiff's 1973 operations and an unused investment credit attributable solely to plaintiff's costs of qualified investment. Plaintiff has filed with the Internal Revenue Service a claim for refund of monies paid on the USI group's 1971 consolidated tax, a claim based upon plaintiff's loss and credit carrybacks to 1971.
The instant action has its roots in Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-78(b), which, in pertinent part, provides that,
"where a loss is deducted from the consolidated taxable income or a credit is allowed in computing the consolidated tax liability for a consolidated return year, any refund shall be made directly to and in the name of the common parent corporation. The payment of any such refund shall discharge any liability of the Government with respect to such refund."
According to the amended complaint herein, "U.S.I. has asserted that [Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-78(b)] requires the payment of the Refund [claimed by plaintiff] to U.S.I. * * *." Contending that "any interpretation of the said regulation which requires payment of the Refund to U.S.I. is unreasonable, does not clearly reflect the income tax liability of the parties, renders the regulation arbitrary and capricious and is beyond the power of the Secretary [of the Treasury] or his delegate to prescribe," plaintiff seeks a judgment, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2201, declaring that "the Refund" under contest "is the property of M & M" rather than that of USI and that it "is in equitable trust for M & M"; plaintiff further asks that the United States and USI be enjoined, the one from paying "the Refund," the other from receiving it, pending the determination of the present action.
The Government has launched its motion to dismiss by pressing the familiar principle that the United States may not be sued absent an effective waiver of its sovereign immunity. See, e.g., Larson v. Domestic & Foreign Commerce Corp., 337 U.S. 682, 93 L. Ed. 1628, 69 S. Ct. 1457 (1949); United States v. Shaw, 309 U.S. 495, 84 L. Ed. 888, 60 S. Ct. 659 (1940); United States v. U.S. Fidelity & Guaranty Co., 309 U.S. 506, 84 L. Ed. 894, 60 S. Ct. 653 (1940). Although it concedes that such a waiver has been effected with respect to proceedings for income tax refunds under 26 U.S.C. § 7422, and although it characterizes the instant action as no more nor less than a suit for recovery of taxes pursuant to that statute, the Government maintains that plaintiff's failure to satisfy the relevant strictures of 26 U.S.C. § 6532 disallows plaintiff's present claim from consideration in this forum. Plaintiff, for its part, acknowledges that it has not met at least one of the preconditions to suit under Section 7422.
Nonetheless, plaintiff argues strenuously that
"this is not a suit for refund of any tax. The Court is not being asked to review plaintiff's claim for refund or to determine the amount thereof. All that is being sought is a declaration of the rights of the parties to a specific property, the refund claim." Plaintiff's Brief in Opposition to Defendant [U.S.A.]'s Motion at 10.
The unhappy fact remains, however, that neither plaintiff's original complaint nor its complaint as amended makes any reference to such statutory allowances for federal subject matter jurisdiction and waiver of sovereign immunity as might render the United States amenable to this action. The absence of those references alone would be fatal to plaintiff's suit against the Government. See United States v. Alabama, 313 U.S. 274, 85 L. Ed. 1327, 61 S. Ct. 1011 (1941); United States v. Sherwood, 312 U.S. 584, 85 L. Ed. 1058, 61 S. Ct. 767 (1941); United States v. Shaw, supra. However, at least one of plaintiff's briefs on these motions indicates that plaintiff stands ready to amend its complaint anew if to do so would cure those deficiencies. In anticipation of a motion to amend, and thus in the interest of future judicial quietude, this Court is obliged to address plaintiff's argument that the Administrative Procedure Act (the APA), 5 U.S.C. § 701 et seq., supports plaintiff's maintenance of the present action against the Government.
Plaintiff has correctly observed that, at least under the authoritative rulings in our own Circuit, the APA "constitutes a waiver of sovereign immunity concerning those claims which come within its scope." Kletschka v. Driver, 411 F.2d 436, 445 (2d Cir. 1969); Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center v. Richardson, 486 F.2d 663, 668 (2d Cir. 1973). But see Sierra Club v. Hickel, 467 F.2d 1048, 1054 (6th Cir. 1972), cert. denied, 411 U.S. 920, 93 S. Ct. 1545, 36 L. Ed. 2d 313 (1973); Littell v. Morton, 445 F.2d 1207, 1213 (4th Cir. 1971). Plaintiff is no less correct when it notes that the Treasury Regulation it would have this Court scrutinize constitutes a "final agency action" within the meaning of 5 U.S.C. § 704. See Toilet Goods Association, Inc. v. Gardner, 387 U.S. 158, 18 L. Ed. 2d 697, 87 S. Ct. 1520 (1967); Abbott Laboratories v. Gardner, 387 U.S. 136, 18 L. Ed. 2d 681, 87 S. Ct. 1507 (1967).
Having acknowledged so much, this Court must conclude nonetheless that plaintiff's reliance upon the APA is misplaced, for, with respect to the claims herein, plaintiff simply lacks standing to sue under that Act. Suits under the APA may be maintained only by persons "suffering legal wrong because of agency action, or adversely affected or aggrieved by agency action within the meaning of a relevant statute * * *." 5 U.S.C. § 702. As explicated by the Supreme Court in United States v. SCRAP, 412 U.S. 669, 93 S. Ct. 2405, 37 L. Ed. 2d 254 (1973), and Sierra Club v. Morton, 405 U.S. 727, 31 L. Ed. 2d 636, 92 S. Ct. 1361 (1972), the above provision brings within the pale of APA standing only one who can allege both "that he has been or will in fact be perceptibly harmed by the challenged agency action," 412 U.S. at 688, and that the interest he seeks to vindicate is "'arguably within the zone of interests to be protected or regulated' by the statutes that the [defendant agency is] claimed to have violated," 405 U.S. at 733. It must be observed that plaintiff has no footing on either base.
As the Fifth Circuit has noted, the "injury in fact" prerequisite to standing contemplates an injury that, "in the event of a decision adverse to the position of the party asserting standing, [will] be not conjectural or speculative, but certain." State of Florida v. Weinberger, 492 F.2d 488, 494 (5th Cir. 1974). In an affidavit on its motion, the Government avers that the Internal Revenue Service has made no determination either that any refund is due under the claim filed by plaintiff or, a fortiori, that any particular amount is due under that claim, whether to plaintiff or to USI; the truth of that averment is apparently conceded by plaintiff in its papers in opposition.
In such factual context, plaintiff is hardly able, at least at the present time, to assume gracefully the posture of one to whom an injury certainly would flow from a judicial confirmation of the regulation that it challenges.
Moreover, with respect to the second precondition to APA standing, it is enough to note that plaintiff's avowed interest in "a specific property, the Refund" -- the anticipated product of a tax benefit accruing from plaintiff's loss and credit carrybacks -- does not arguably come under the aegis of any statute that the accused regulation might conceivably be claimed to contravene. Indeed, as the Ninth Circuit has observed in an analogous context, "there is nothing in the [Internal Revenue] Code * * * that compels the conclusion that a tax saving must or should inure to the benefit [either] of the parent company or of the company which has sustained the loss that makes possible the tax saving." Western Pacific R.R. Corp. v. Western Pacific R. Co., 197 F.2d 994, 1004 (9th Cir. 1951), vacated on other grounds, 345 U.S. 247, 97 L. Ed. 986, 73 S. Ct. 656 (1953), prior opinion aff'd, 206 F.2d 495 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 346 U.S. 910, 74 S. Ct. 241, 98 L. Ed. 407 (1954). Thus, review under the APA in this case, and at the behest of this plaintiff, would be entirely inappropriate.
There remain for consideration plaintiff's claims for declaratory and injunctive relief
against USI, under this Court's diversity jurisdiction. As has been underscored above, the subject of that requested relief is the anticipated refund to which plaintiff has laid a formal claim and to which USI, according to plaintiff's allegations, has asserted a claim of right via informal communications with plaintiff.
As plaintiff would have it, the essential issue on the merits of this action is as follows: "Who is entitled to the refund?" Plaintiff's Supplemental Memorandum at 2. Mindful of the prohibition against judicial issuance of advisory opinions, this Court must conclude that it is not its office to resolve that question under the circumstances of this case.
Plaintiff argues with some vigor that this action represents a justiciable "case or controversy" warranting relief under the Declaratory Judgment Act. But plaintiff's exertions on that account, however notable, are unavailing. To be sure, this Court does not doubt that, as plaintiff has stressed in its memoranda, there is indeed an active and genuine dispute between plaintiff and USI; the subject of the parties' rivalry -- some $440,000 in anticipated refund stakes -- is not, after all, an unlikely target of corporate passion. It is no less certain, however, that an established dispute, whatever its heat, does not necessarily amount to a "case or controversy" rightfully to be tested in the forum of a court of law.
In the landmark case of Aetna Life Insurance Co. v. Haworth, 300 U.S. 227, 240-41, 81 L. Ed. 617, 57 S. Ct. 461 (1937), Chief Justice Hughes explained that
"[a] 'controversy' in this sense must be one that is appropriate for judicial determination * * *. A justiciable controversy is thus distinguished from a difference or dispute of a hypothetical or abstract character; from one that is academic or moot * * *. The controversy must be definite and concrete, touching the legal relations of parties having adverse legal interests * * *. It must be a real and substantial controversy admitting of specific relief through a decree of a conclusive character, as distinguished from an opinion advising what the law would be on a hypothetical state of facts * * *. Where there is such a * * * case * * *, the judicial function may be appropriately exercised although the adjudication of the rights of the litigants may not require the award of process or payment of damages."
The above formulation, conclusory as it is, hardly supplies a conveniently precise standard against which to gauge justiciability in every case. Thus, for example, another court has observed that
"[a plaintiff] must show that the facts are sufficiently complete, mature, proximate, and ripe to place him in gear with his adversary, and this [sic] to warrant the grant of judicial relief. Just when the controversy has reached the state of maturity cannot be a priori defined." Ohio Casualty Ins. Co. v. Maloney, 44 F. Supp. 312, 314 (E.D.Pa. 1942).
However troublesome the concept of justiciability may be in its application to some cases, the prematurity of the issue presented in the instant action is clear enough. In essence, the Court is herein asked to declare the parties' rights to an "asset" that does not presently exist and whose future existence is not a certainty.
To be sure, plaintiff may be pregnant with confidence that the subject refund eventually will be allowed. That condition, however, is not enough to permit, in effect, a decree of custody over what is now no more than an expectancy that might never be realized. This Court cannot ignore the often-recited admonition that "it is not the function of a United States District Court to sit in judgment on these nice and intriguing questions which today may readily be imagined, but may never in fact come to pass." American Fidelity & Casualty Company v. Pennsylvania Threshermen & Farmers' Mutual Casualty Insurance Company, 280 F.2d 453, 461 (5th Cir. 1960). Cf. Brown & Root, Inc. v. Big Rock Corporation, 383 F.2d 662, 665-66 (5th Cir. 1967); Johnson v. Interstate Transit Lines, 163 F.2d 125, 128-29 (10th Cir. 1947).
None of the multitude of cases cited by plaintiff in suggested support of its position is apposite to the present action. Thus, for example, among the decisions cited are cases involving, at the time of suit, injuries already sustained, Mastan Company v. A. L. Jackson, 321 F. Supp. 865 (N.D.Ill.E.D. 1971), debts in esse, Landers Frary & Clark v. Vischer Products Co., 201 F.2d 319 (7th Cir. 1953); Tomlinson v. Smith, 128 F.2d 808 (7th Cir. 1942), admitted tax liabilities, Henshel v. Guilden, 300 F. Supp. 470 (S.D.N.Y. 1969), and immediate contract obligations, see, e.g., Maryland Casualty Co. v. Pacific Coal & Oil Co., 312 U.S. 270, 85 L. Ed. 826, 61 S. Ct. 510 (1941); Ohio Casualty Ins. Co. v. Maloney, supra. Other cases cited by plaintiff involve questions of patent infringement, cases ripe for declaratory relief on the principle that the Declaratory Judgment Act was intended "'to avoid accrual of avoidable damages to one not certain of his rights and to afford him an early adjudication without waiting until his adversary should see fit to begin suit, after damage had accrued, '" Akron, Canton & Youngstown R. Co. v. Barnes, 215 F.2d 423, 427 (7th Cir. 1954), quoting E. Edelmann & Co. v. Triple-A Specialty Co., 88 F.2d 852, 854 (7th Cir.), cert. denied, 300 U.S. 680, 81 L. Ed. 884, 57 S. Ct. 673 (1937); Dewey & Almy Chemical Co. v. American Anode, Inc., 137 F.2d 68 (3d Cir. 1943); Formmaster Corporation v. G. H. Bishop Co., 138 F. Supp. 115 (S.D.N.Y. 1956).
It must further be observed that plaintiff has wholly failed to demonstrate that a declaratory judgment in this case would "effectuate the purposes of the [Declaratory Judgment] Act and thereby afford relief from uncertainty and insecurity with respect to rights, status and other legal relations." Sears, Roebuck & Co. v. American Mutual Liability Co., 372 F.2d 435, 438 (7th Cir. 1967). Plaintiff's suggestion that declaratory relief at this juncture is "essential" -- to establish "who should prosecute the Claim for Refund through the office of the I.R.S. * * * [,who] should bear the expense of such services * * * [,who] should determine whether to bring action if part of the claim is disallowed and who should bear the expense of such an action" -- if not in part disingenuous, see Treas. Reg. § 1.1502.77(a), is entirely unpersuasive. With respect to the prosecution of a claim and the institution of a judicial action, plaintiff, with the aid of its counsel, hardly requires a declaration from this Court to understand the course set it by the combined force of the above-cited Regulation, various sections of the Internal Revenue Code, USI's failure to date to file a claim for refund, and the fact that the United States could not be bound by any judgment that might issue in this case; nor is the Court convinced, in light of those combined factors, that its entertainment of the present suit might best insure against a multiplicity of actions and an unnecessary financial investment by plaintiff.
It is even more to the present point, however, that
"the requirements of justiciability are not met if the complainant merely alleges that he 'is at a loss to know what course to pursue'. The [Declaratory Judgment] Act is not designed to eliminate the function of attorneys." 6A Moore, Federal Practice para. -57.12, at 57-111, quoting Duart Mfg. Co. v. Philad Co., 30 F. Supp. 777 (D. Del. 1939).
For the reasons discussed above,
defendants' motions to dismiss are granted.

Witness in BART killing: 'They never struggled with me'
Says none of the officers withdrew their guns except for Mehserle
By Paul T. Rosynsky
LOS ANGELES — Former BART police officer Marysol Domenici, the second police officer to arrive at the scene where Oscar Grant III eventually was killed, began her testimony today, giving the jury its first glimpse of how a prosecutor intends to attack the credibility of the officers who witnessed one of their own kill an unarmed man.
Deputy District Attorney David Stein wasted no time in attacking Domenici's testimony, immediately pointing out that statements she gave in previous hearings and interviews did not match with what was depicted in recorded scenes of the events that led to the 22-year-old Hayward man's death.

Mob torches bus, blocks highway to protest lynching in Bengal’s Kalna
Seven day labourers who had gone to Kalna two days back to spray pesticide on trees were beaten up by people at Baruipara, who suspected them to be child lifters.kolkata Updated: Jan 21, 2017 20:13 IST
A mob on Saturday set a Kalna-bound bus on fire and brickbatted the police force on NH 34 at Habibpur in Nadia district to protest against the lynching of a man and thrashing of five others at Kalna in Burdwan two days ago.
Seven day labourers, who had gone to Kalna to spray pesticide on trees, were beat up by local people at Baruipara -- who suspected them to be child lifters. It led to the death of one Anil Biswas while five others were injured.
Claiming that the labourers hailed from the area, the mob torched a private bus plying on Ranaghat-Kalna route, a senior police officer said. The situation was soon brought under control and some of the protestors were detained, the officer added.
The protestors were demanding that all those involved in the incident be arrested and adequate compensation be given to the family of the deceased and injured.
The Nadia police officer said the Burdwan police had arrested some people in connection with the incident.

Q & As


A recent Liberty Nation poll found that most believe $5 gas will be the most important issue for voters in the mid-term elections in November, topping abortion rights. If this is the attitude that Americans possess heading into the voting booth, it might not bode well for President Joe Biden and the Democrats, especially after the latest messaging calamity from the Commander-in-Chief.
Speaking to reporters at the conclusion of this week’s NATO summit in Madrid, Spain, Biden was asked how long Americans can expect to contend with soaring energy prices. His response did not spark confidence or encourage households still feeling the pain at the pump and financial agony in their utility bills.
“As long as it takes. Russia cannot, in fact, defeat Ukraine and move beyond Ukraine,” the president responded. “This is a critical, critical position for the world. Here we are. Why do we have NATO? I told Putin that, in fact, if we were to move, we would move to strengthen NATO. We would move to strengthen NATO across the board.”
Biden also tried to kill two birds with one stone: blame President Vladimir Putin for the spike in price inflation and champion his economic record by claiming that inflation is higher in other countries. “I can understand why the American people are frustrated because of inflation. But inflation is higher in almost every other country,” he said.
One look at inflation rates around the world shows that this is incorrect. Today, the US annual inflation rate is 8.6%. Elsewhere, the flash European Union inflation reading is 8.6%, Canada is enduring a 7.7% consumer price index (CPI), Japan recorded a rate of 2.2% in May, and Australia posted a 5.1% CPI. So, what is he talking about exactly? Perhaps he is referring to Turkey’s 70% inflation and Venezuela’s 100% rate. At this point, Biden either speaks gibberish or utters falsehoods.
A Recession is Coming
While Wall Street and economists have increasingly made a recession their base case within the next 18 to 24 months, the US might already be situated in an economic downturn, according to the latest and perhaps most reliable gross domestic product (GDP) indicator.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s GDPNow model shows that the economy is projected to contract 1% in the second quarter. This is down from the previous growth estimate of 0.3%. But what caused the downward revision? New economic data. In the April-June period, real personal consumption expenditures growth tumbled to 1.7%, and real gross private domestic investment growth declined to -13.2%. Also, real net exports rose to a subdued 0.35%.
Meanwhile, separate economic data on July 1 should have Washington officials worried. The Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing purchasing managers’ index (PMI) dropped to 53, falling short of the market estimate of 54.9. Construction spending fell 0.1%, personal spending edged up at a lower-than-expected pace of 0.2%, and initial jobless claims four-week average inched higher again to 231,750.
So, where is this strong economy that the administration is touting? Perhaps it is inside the “Liberal World Order” recently touted by National Economic Council (NEC) Director Brian Deese where data, facts, and numbers are manufactured out of thin air, and Biden is the God-Emperor of the United States.
Bears Devour Stocks in First Half
It was a bloodbath on the New York Stock Exchange in the first six months of 2022, with equities suffering their worst first half since 1970. The only bright spots in the market were agriculture, energy, and the US dollar. So, how bad was it in the stock market? Well, investors will need a mop and bucket to clean up all that red ink flowing on Wall Street and forcing traders to digest crates of Pepto Bismol. Here is a look at the percentage performances in this bear invasion:
- Dow Jones Industrial Average: -15.31%
- Nasdaq Composite Index: -29.51%
- S&P 500: -20.58%
- Gold: -1.36%
- Silver: -13.6%
- Copper: -17.29%
- Bitcoin: -59%
However, for investors parked in commodities, they were the only ones who might have been ebullient. Crude oil and natural gas soared 40.5% and 58%, respectively. Gasoline prices spiked 60.51%. Soybeans climbed 7.7%, corn rose 4.3%, and wheat advanced 15.35%. Also, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which gauges the greenback against a basket of currencies, soared more than 9% in the January-June span.
But why did this happen? It was all centered around inflation and how public policymakers responded. The Federal Reserve is turning ultra-hawkish, raising the benchmark Fed funds rate by 75 basis points in June. Businesses and consumers are responding negatively to this inflationary rising-rate environment as the PMIs, personal savings rate, and sentiment collapse. The second half may not fare any better as investors price in a recession and brace for a long dark winter. Better store your nuts!

Inducing Positive Sorting through Performance Pay: Experimental Evidence from Pakistani Schools (Job Market Paper) - Draft Coming Soon
with Tahir Andrabi
Abstract: Attracting and retaining high-quality teachers has a large social benefit, but it is challenging for schools to identify good teachers ex-ante. This study uses teachers’ contract choices and a randomized controlled trial of performance pay with 7,000 teachers in 243 private schools in Pakistan to study whether performance pay can attract and retain higher-quality teachers. Consistent with adverse selection models, we find that performance pay can induce positive sorting: both high value-added teachers and teachers who respond more strongly to incentives significantly prefer performance pay and sort into these schools. Using two additional treatments, we show effects are more pronounced among teachers with more information about their quality and teachers with lower switching costs. Teachers have considerably more information about their quality than their principal, and this holds throughout most of their tenure. If we take into account these sorting effects, the total effect of performance pay on test scores is twice as large as if we just measured the direct effects on the existing stock of teachers, suggesting we may have significantly underestimated the benefits.
Subjective versus Objective Incentives and Employee Productivity
with Tahir Andrabi
Abstract: A central challenge facing organizations is how to incentivize employees. While high-powered incentives can motivate effort, they can lead employees to distort effort away from non-incentivized outcomes. This is one reason why most performance incentives allow for manager subjectivity. However, this subjectivity can introduce new concerns, including favoritism and bias. We study the effect of subjective versus objective performance incentives on employee productivity using a randomized controlled trial in 234 Pakistani private schools. We estimate the effect of two performance raise treatments versus a control condition, in which all teachers receive the same raise. The first treatment arm is a “subjective” raise, in which principals evaluate teachers; the second treatment arm an “objective” raise based on student test scores. First, we show that both subjective and objective incentives are equally effective at increasing test scores. However, objective incentives decrease student socio-emotional development. Second, we show that these effects are likely driven by the types of behavior change we observe from teachers during classroom observations. In objective schools, teachers spend more time on test preparation and use more punitive discipline, whereas, in subjective schools, pedagogy improves. Finally, we investigate the mechanisms of these effects through the lens of a moral hazard model with multi-tasking. We exploit variation within each treatment to isolate the causal effect of contract noisiness and distortion on student outcomes. We then show that teachers perceive subjective incentives as less noisy and less distorted, and these contract features affect student outcomes, serving as key channels to explain the reduced form effects we see.
Attention as Human Capital
with Supreet Kaur, Geeta Kingdon and Heather Schofield
Abstract: Cognitive capacity—a key predictor of labor productivity—has traditionally been viewed as a fixed component of human capital. This project reexamines this view by testing whether attentional ability is endogenously shaped through one's socio-economic environment. We focus on a specific dimension of attention: the ability to sustain focus toward a task. We first document a novel fact: lower-income individuals exhibit larger attentional declines than more affluent ones across disparate field settings in both rich and poor countries—school tests, worker productivity, voting—and these declines help explain performance differences among the rich and poor. Next, through a field experiment with 1,650 low-income Indian primary school students, we increase the time devoted to focused cognitive activity during the school day, using either math or non-academic content. Each of these interventions improves the ability to sustain focus across a variety of unrelated domains—academic performance, listening retention, and IQ, as well as on traditional attentional ability measures—indicating that our interventions affected an underlying core resource. In addition, the interventions improve performance on school administered tests in core subjects. Our findings suggest that worse schooling environments may disadvantage poor children by hampering the development of cognitive capacity.

Adding to the drama, Steven Sinofsky, president of Microsoft's Windows division, left the company just weeks after Windows 8's launch. Did he quit or was he fired? Neither party is telling. Though reports claim Sinofsky's exit had to do with his prickly management style than the success or failure of Windows 8, the departure didn't help public perception of Microsoft's fortunes so soon after the controversial operating system's launch.
Apple vs Samsung: Year two fallout
The Great Patent War between Apple and Samsung entered its second year in 2012, with a number of legal bombshells falling on either side. The biggest by far was the landmark ruling in September, which found largely in Apple's favor and fined Samsung an enormous $1.05 billion . Though Samsung alleged jury misconduct, its appeal was denied, and Judge Lucy Koh refused to grant the company a new trial.
Samsung won back a minor victory when the court denied Apple's request for a permanent injunction forbidding the sale of several Samsung devices. Apple took another major blow as the US Patent Office tentatively declared the "Steve Jobs patent," which covers--broadly--gesture control on a touch screen, invalid.
The Apple-Samsung lawsuits are ongoing in countries all across the globe, and we're sure there will be more bombshells to talk about at the end of 2013.
Megaupload gets shut down
In January, Megaupload was wiped off the face of the Internet, its domain names seized, assets confiscated, and founders imprisoned by New Zealand police acting on behalf of the US government. The popular filesharing site's closure started a firestorm on the internet, spurring the "hacktivist" group Anonymous to launch a successful denial-of-service attack against the Deparment of Justice, the RIAA and others. The site's closure had a domino effect , causing many other "cyberlocker" sites--including FileSonic, Uploaded.to, UploadBoc, FileJungle and FileServe, amongst scads of others--to either clamp down on file sharing or preemptively shut down their entire service, fearing similar government action.

October brings with it autumn breezes, fall foliage and this year, a brand new target location!
The massive retailer announced the grand opening of a Union Square location set for October 22, 2023. Shoppers will be able to find it at 10 Union Square East. It will take over former pub, SideBar.
News about the opening first came about in 2020, when The New York Post reported that a lease had been signed for the store space.
“As we get closer to opening the store, we’ll have more specific details to share – including how the shopping experience will be tailored to serve local guests,” said a Target spokesperson.
Target most recently opened a gigantic location in SoHo last summer. Beyond the Union Square store, Target is expected to open more than five additional locations across NYC. Those locations include a store in the Bronx Bruckner Commons (139,000 sq. ft.), Brooklyn Kings Plaza (90,160 sq. ft.), Chelsea (28,000 sq. ft.), Harlem (44,000 sq. ft.), Astoria (47,000 sq. ft.), and Yonkers (132,000 sq. ft.)

To sit alongside Virgin, Amazon and the BBC is an outstanding achievement and an indication of the strength of the companies and how far the industry has come. The days of construction companies being old school, dirty boots and a full English breakfast are all in the past and creates an image that won’t encourage people into the industry. Today the industry is innovative with a modern approach to working that is helping to make it a more attractive career choice.

Brief summary of game...
Putting it simply, Bass Pro Shops: The Strike is a fishing game as I would hope that you assumed from the title. Basically, you drive a boat around a lake and fish. You can purchase the game with a small fishing rod that replaces your controller. I purchased this game to help me get through my winter time fishing withdrawals.
Summary of My Review Method
I can assure you that these will be my honest opinion I'm going to try to get detailed and try to present a total picture of the game. Of course this will be completely based off of my opinion so that doesn't mean that you will feel the same way. I would love to hear how people feel about my review whether they agree or not, and everyone is welcome to leave their opinions in the comment section of the review.
My system has 10 sections worth 10 points. 100 total. I also include 4 bonus sections worth 25 points.
The games total score is based on the combination of all of these points. For a more detailed explanation of how I review games you can find it on my hub... Some Random Hillbilly Reviewing Video Games - My Method For Reviewing Video Games
I found this game to be pretty darn fun. If you enjoy fishing there is a good chance that you would enjoy this game.
OK, I realize that you can't expect much of a storyline from a fishing game, and I am giving consideration to that with my rating. You can however expect most sporting games to include a career mode which substitutes as a story, and that is what my rating is based on. The career mode isn't bad at all, but it certainly isn't amazing either. You have some very basic customization options for your fisherman that could have been a lot better. At least they had some though. In career mode you basically drive your boat around a lake and catch as many fish as possible until your reputation gets high enough to enter a tournament. Once you've entered the tournament you will have twenty minutes to catch 5 of the biggest fish of a certain species. If you do well in the tournament you will open a new lake and start over this process. I actually am on the last lake currently so I don't know if anything else happens after this. You also have a boat garage to store the multiple boats you can win and a Bass Pro Shop to buy gear from. The career mode is not a horrible set-up but they didn't really go out of their way to make it super great either.
Storyline Depth 2/10
I'm giving it a 2 here because while I don't expect much depth from a fishing game storyline, a little bit more would have gone a long way.
As I said I'm currently on the last lake and I don't know if there is more after that or not. As it stands the game has a pretty decent length. It's not a game I've played straight through or spent countless hours on, but I pick it up for an hour here or there. So I feel like the length is pretty appropriate. Of course after I finish the last lake I will come back and update.
This section is kind of hard to rate. I purchased the game with the fishing rod that replaces the normal XBOX controller. The controls are a little weird to get used too and the sensitivity while you are trying to cast is hideous. However the fishing rod is pretty cool and I would have rated them higher just for having it, but...
The fishing rod quit working! Everything still works except for the D-pad. This would be fine except the D-pad is how you control your map of the lake which is crucial when you are fishing tournaments. This would make me want to give controls a rating of about 2, but.....
I switched to my regular XBOX controller almost seamlessly. The game still plays very smoothly on a regular XBOX 360 controller so that is a big plus. I almost felt like I lost nothing switching back to a normal controller.
The graphics are really nothing special, but they certainly aren't hideous. The sound isn't bad either except they add nature sounds so while you are playing occasionally you here this high pitched bird sound that gets annoying once you've noticed it.
The game plays pretty smoothly. The controls aren't bad and working a fish in can be really fun, although some times it takes a little too long to bring one in. The combination of graphics, sound, and controls all meld together pretty well.
Replay Value 10/10
If you enjoy the game, then it's one of those games you would probably pick up occasionally just to do some quick video game fishing. The replay value may be the greatest aspect of this game.
While fishing games have been around forever there haven't been many that included an actual fishing rod to play with. Putting my complaints about the rod aside, it is still a pretty cool concept. I know that Rapala has fishing game out as well that includes a rod, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet to see how they stack up against each other.
Dollar vs. Time 9/10
It's hard to say how much time I've actually spent playing this game, but I only spent $26 for it so I feel like I've gotten my money's worth. Also as I mentioned, I feel like it has a good replay value.

64 Total Points... Bass Pro Shops: The Strike is Just OK
Other than the shoddy fishing rod, I don't really have anything bad to say about this game. It's pretty fun and I could see myself spending a lot more time on it. If you buy this game expecting something amazing you may be disappointed, but if you are just wanting a fun fishing game to play you probably be please.

My Thinking Space
T hink about the video. 50% of crime and 90% of domestic violence is alcohol related. With alcohol and young people there tends to be a lot of anti social behaviour incidents like underage drinking, swearing in the streets, and fighting. People do things they wouldn’t normally do when under the influence of alcohol as their decision making and rational is floored, this can lead to future consequences with the police. H ow would you feel? If you woke up in a police cell one morning after excessive drinking the night before and you couldn’t really remember how or why you got there? It’s a scary though right! I t’s your life. You can be a good honest decent person but too much alcohol can make you do something you might regret, would that be something you want for your life? N ow make a decision.

According to Electrek,Tesla is working to transfer driver files to the cloud for synchronization between vehicles. This will make it more convenient for owners of multiple Tesla vehicles and those who rent or share Tesla vehicles.
In the past few years, Tesla has been taking action to build a smooth experience for the future of autonomous driving and car sharing. For example, Tesla has previously introduced a new “Car Access” feature that allows car owners to allow others to access their cars through the company’s mobile application.
Although this is already useful for people sharing Tesla, this feature is expected to be particularly useful once the company launches the “Tesla Network”, a network for autonomous driving, car-hailing, and car sharing.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has also been talking about putting user profiles in the cloud and automatically loading all the owner’s preferences into the new Tesla vehicles they use.
Now, Tesla is working in this direction with a new “Vehicle Sync” feature.
Not a Tesla AppThis feature was discovered in the latest Tesla software update.
In this version, a new feature called “cloud profile” is mentioned, which allows users to choose to “enable vehicle synchronization” for individual driver profiles.
The new “Vehicle Sync” feature can be enabled for specific driver profiles.
It will help Tesla drivers synchronize their profiles on different vehicles:
If you own multiple Teslas, use a borrowed Tesla or a rented Tesla, then you will be able to keep your profile settings the same on your vehicle. When you change a setting, it will automatically transfer to your other vehicle.
Now, car owners can easily add vehicles to their Tesla apps through the “Car Access” feature, which opens up many possibilities.
After Hertz announced its intention to purchase 100,000 Tesla vehicles to update its rental fleet, Musk was asked if Tesla could release such a feature, and the CEO confirmed that it is in progress.

CEO and CCO of Soko, Felipe Simi is one of the main names of the new generation of advertisers and one of the judges of the YouTube Works 2022
Felipe Simi one of the most prominent names in Brazilian advertising. CEO and CCO of Soko, the creative just returned from Cannes with the Golden Leo in Entertainment for Sports. But at YouTube Works 2022, Simi will be one of the 14 market professionals who will evaluate the works this year.
The award aims to recognize brands that make the best creative use of YouTube and that, at the same time, build a strategy capable of achieving expressive business results.
This year’s YouTube Works will recognize the pieces in five categories: Business Impact, Best Work With Creators, Social Impact, The Unskippable and Meeting the Moment, in addition to the Grand Play, which goes to the case that best met all aspects of the award, as creative, business and use of platform tools.
The analysis of the cases submitted to YouTube Works will be done with Kantar, responsible for managing the curation and judging process of the campaigns, as well as for moderating the judging sessions. Currently, the award is in the case voting phase. The winners will be announced in September, in a face-to-face ceremony.
In an interview with PROPMARK, Simi talked about what he expects from the works, the importance of YouTube Works for the market, among other matters.
What are your expectations for Social Impact cases?
I understand that every advertiser has a social role to make the world better. We have a very powerful tool at hand to build references and incite action. I hope to be inspired by what brands are designing for our future.
In your opinion, what are the criteria for a campaign to win in this category?
In my view, in addition to the pertinence of using the channel and connecting with the brand, in Social Impact the look must necessarily turn to the legacy that the campaign leaves for social issues. So it is not enough to raise a question, for example, without addressing something that actually helps to solve the problems.
What does YouTube Works represent for the market?
Our craft, at the end of the day, is about telling good brand stories. And YouTube is a fantastic platform to do that, because of the diversity of formats that doesn’t limit creativity, in addition to having an incredible track record of results for the business. So YouTube Works ends up being not only a showcase for these stories, but a beacon of our industry for all the best possibilities we can envision for telling brand stories more effectively.
Felipe Simi the third juror to be interviewed by PROPMARK. The first was Alvaro Garcia, CMO at Mondelz, who highlighted the importance of YouTube Works to the market. [O YouTube Works] has increasingly become an inspiration for the entire market on new ways of engaging people, creating ever deeper and more individualized connections., he said.
Who also spoke with the report was Joo Pedro Paes Leme, journalist and CEO of Play9. For the executive, the platform has a fundamental character of bringing good content to society in general. Stimulating creators, brands, agencies and content companies within this very important ecosystem for it to become increasingly relevant, he said.
Finally, Luciana Haguiara confessed that she hopes to find works and ideas that show how to go beyond awareness. And use the tools we have to solve real problems, emphasized ECD Media.Monks.

About Acid Reflux, GERD, & Heartburn Surgery
Do you suffer from heartburn, also known as gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD)? This occurs when stomach acids reflux or comes “back up” from the stomach into the esophagus after eating, which can cause a significant amount of discomfort and dramatically reduce quality of life. Conditions such as esophagitis (chronic inflammation of the esophagus), chronic regurgitation, poor control or Barrett’s esophagus often result in the need for acid reflux surgery.
If you suffer from chronic heartburn, acid reflux or other conditions associated with this health problem, learn more about minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery with board-certified surgeon Dr. Surya Challa.
During this procedure, a laparoscope is inserted through a few small incisions. In laparoscopic acid reflux surgery, Dr. Challa operates from outside the body using small tools inserted into the abdomen, as opposed to “open” surgery, where the surgeon operates directly in the body. If a Hiatal Hernia is identified, he repairs the hernia first. He then tightens the lower esophagus to prevent acid from moving from the stomach into the esophagus and causing acid reflux.
Because of smaller incisions, laparoscopic acid reflux surgery is more minimally invasive than traditional “open” acid reflux surgery and our Chesapeake patients benefit from less post-operative discomfort, a shorter recovery, a shorter hospital stay and less post-operative scarring. Dr. Challa has performed over 200 of these surgeries. The state-of-the-art facilities at Chesapeake Regional Medical Center allow both advanced laparoscopic and robotic approaches.
FAQ: Acid Reflux Surgery in Chesapeake, VA
Is Chesapeake acid reflux surgery performed under general anesthesia?
Yes. This procedure is performed under general anesthesia.
How long does this surgery take?
Depending on the size of the hernia, surgery takes anywhere from 1.5 to 4 hours.
What is the recovery like following this surgery?
Our acid reflux surgery patients typically resume their daily activities in 1-2 weeks. Most patients are advised pureed foods and no carbonation. We do advise that patients refrain from strenuous activities like exercise for about 4 weeks.
How long do the results last?
Laparoscopic GERD surgery has excellent clinical outcomes and patients rarely need follow-up procedures.
Is there scarring following this surgery?Typically the scars are limited to the laparoscopic sites and are minimal following acid reflux surgery in Chesapeake.
How many of these procedures has Dr. Challa performed?
Dr. Challa has performed around two hundred GERD surgical procedures with a very high patient satisfaction rate. Majority have been performed with minimally invasive laparoscopic methods. Recently, Dr Challa has started utilizing the Da Vinci Robotic System to perform these surgeries.
What areas of Virginia does Dr. Challa serve?
Since Chesapeake Vein Center & MedSpa is located in Chesapeake, VA, we are conveniently located to all Virginia Beach and Norfolk county patients
Is a hospital stay required?
Usually overnight patient stay is required prior to discharge. It is not uncommon to stay longer following acid reflux surgery, depending on other patient factors including for example, a large hiatal hernia.
What makes Chesapeake Vein Center and MedSpa different?
Dr. Challa rigorously reviews all medical protocols at Chesapeake Vein Center and MedSpa prior to application. An advantage of having a surgeon such as Dr. Challa actively practicing at the same site is the higher standard that medical offices typically adhere to. You can be assured that these practices are safe, effective and tested.
Is Dr. Surya Challa actively practicing in Chesapeake, Virginia?
Yes! Dr. Challa actively sees and treats patients at Chesapeake Vein Center and MedSpa. This means that our office adheres to a higher standard of care, equal to that of medical offices. Other medical spas are often ‘overseen’ by a medical director, or may be simply ‘associated’ with a medical director; neither of these situations carries any guarantee that the medical director even practices out of that location.

text: (Vigna unguiculata) A staple crop of East Asia, where they have been grown for centuries. After frost, when soil has warmed, sow 1-2 inches deep, 4-6 inches apart in rows where plants are to grow. Vigorous climbers need full sun and a trellis or other support. Takes heat and humidity better than common beans; recommended for the Deep South. Keep the pods picked to maintain production. Drought tolerant, but more productive with adequate moisture. The pods are stringless and tender, and taste best sauteed (not boiled). I would not go one season without them.

An exhibition based on Moore's last portfolio of prints, together with five related maquettes. Throughout his working life Henry Moore constantly returned to the theme of the mother and child. For Moore this was a 'fundamental obsession'; he never ceased to find interest in the subject, continually exploring new forms and reworking old to release from them new meaning. In 1983 when Moore was in his eighties, he returned to his well-loved subject and started working on a series of etchings of the mother and child, These late prints were some of the most intimate of Moore's work and perhaps stemmed from memories of watching his own wife and child.
A modest leaflet with an essay by Julian Stallabrass was published to accompany the exhibition which originated in 1990 and was disbanded in 1993. No ISBN number
A separate catalogue (Hebrew only) was published by the Herzliya Museum of Art; an Arabic version was printed by the Ministry of Culture for the showings in Cairo and Alexandria, and by the Bank of Cypeus Cultural Foundation for the showing in Nicosia,
