GE Marine has delivered one LM2500+G4 aeroderivative marine gas turbine to Avio S.p.A. of Turin, Italy, a GE Marine System Supplier. The gas turbine will power the French Navy's eighth FREMM frigate Lorraine.
The Italian-French FREMM program marks the first application in the marine sector of GE's LM2500+G4 gas turbine, which has 17% more power than its LM2500+ predecessor. Through Avio, 18 LM2500+G4 gas turbines will provide propulsion for the current FREMM program, which includes six ships for the Italian Navy, 11 ships for the French Navy, and one ship for the Royal Moroccan Navy.
In November 2012, France's first FREMM frigate Aquitaine was delivered to the French Navy by shipyard DCNS. According to DCNS, five FREMM frigates are currently under construction at its Lorient, France, center.
In July 2012, Italy's first FREMM frigate Bergamini was delivered to the Italian Navy by shipyard Fincantieri. Commissioning activities have commenced on Italy's Fasan and Margottini, and France's Normandie frigates. The remaining three Italian Navy ships and nine French Navy ships are expected to launch approximately one per year from 2014 through 2017 and 2022, respectively.
The LM2500+G4 gas turbine was manufactured at GE's Evendale, Ohio, facility. Avio will assemble the gas turbine into a propulsion system produced at its Brindisi industrial plant. The propulsion system includes a sophisticated turbine control system entirely developed and manufactured by Avio.

This book is written for people who are ill and aren't going to get better, and also for their caregivers, people who love them and suffer along with them in wishing that things were different. It speaks most specifically about physical illness. In the largest sense, though, I feel that this book is for all of us. Sooner or later, we are all going to not "get better."
That's acclaimed Jewish-Buddhist teacher Sylvia Boorstein in her introduction to How to Be Sick: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide for the Chronically Ill and Their Caregivers by Toni Bernhard.
The book was recommended to me by one of my congregants who cares for a chronically ill loved one. She described Bernhard's book as "How to be sick well" -- how to achieve emotional and spiritual wellness even when one's body remains sick.
Bernhard became ill in 2001 and has suffered from chronic illness ever since. The first two chapters tell the story of her illness. Beginning in chapter three she shares how her Buddhist learning offered her a way of approaching her illness as a spiritual practice. She wanted to know "how to live a life of equanimity and joy despite my physical and energetic limitations." This book offers her answers to that question.
Early in that third chapter she writes about the power of "just being" with what is:
Just "being" life as it is for me has meant ending my professional career years before I expected to, being house-bound and even bed-bound much of the time, feeling continually sick in the body, and not being able to socialize very often. [Drawing on Buddhist teaching,] I was able to use these facts that make up my life as a starting point. I began to bow down to these facts, to accept them, to be them. And then from there, I looked around to see what life had to offer. And I found a lot.
I struggle a little bit with her language of "bowing down to" these facts. And yet I recognize that there is wisdom in accepting what is, instead of getting caught up in wishing that things were different. I know that in my own life I get into trouble when I get attached to my expectations of how something will be, and I feel more open to blessings when I can simply be with what is.

5-hour trip on airbus wheel
22 April 2014 [12:42] -
A 16-year-old boy stowed away in the wheel well of a flight from California to Hawaii on Sunday, surviving the trip halfway across the Pacific Ocean unharmed despite frigid temperatures at 38,000 feet and a lack of oxygen, FBI and airline officials said.
FBI spokesman Tom Simon in Honolulu told The Associated Press on Sunday night that the boy was questioned by the FBI after being discovered on the tarmac at the Maui airport with no identification.
"Kid's lucky to be alive," Simon said.
Simon said security footage from the San Jose airport verified that the boy from Santa Clara, Calif., hopped a fence to get to Hawaiian Airlines Flight 45 on Sunday morning. The child had run away from his family after an argument, Simon said. Simon said when the flight landed in Maui, the boy hopped down from the wheel well and started wandering around the airport grounds.
"He was unconscious for the lion's share of the flight," Simon said. The flight lasted about 5 1/2 hours.
Hawaiian Airlines spokeswoman Alison Croyle said airline personnel noticed the boy on the ramp after the flight arrived and immediately notified airport security.
"Our primary concern now is for the well-being of the boy, who is exceptionally lucky to have survived," Croyle said.
Simon said the boy was medically screened and found to be unharmed.
"Doesn't even remember the flight," Simon said. "It's amazing he survived that."
A call and email message to a Mineta San Jose International Airport spokeswoman were not immediately returned. Officials at Kahului Airport referred questions to the State Department of Transportation, which did not return a phone call seeking comment. A Transportation Security Agency spokesman, who declined to be named, referred questions to the FBI and airport authorities.
The boy will not be charged and was referred to child protective services, Simon said.

Place of Birth
In the past, Kevin Nash has been pretty adamant about not wanting to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. He's even gone as far as to instruct his wife to decline the offer if he were to pass away. It seems like Nash is now softening his stance. He recently stated that he would refuse to be inducted as Diesel, but he did not mention anything about going in under his real name.
August 11, 2014
Even though he is now back in TNA, Rob Terry still continues to work for other wrestling promotions. Thanks to the new taping schedule for Impact Wrestling, he is able to work shows in Europe in early August. At these live events, he will be working under his real name as opposed to being under a mask like he is in TNA.
July 25, 2014
As many of you already know by now, Drew McIntyre, who was once viewed as a future world champion in WWE by both Vince McMahon and the fans, received his release from the company earlier this month. The talented and underrated performer will now be forced to use a different name if he wishes to continue in the professional wrestling industry because WWE owns the trademark. The belief is that he will wrestle under his real name for the time being.
June 20, 2014
While doing a podcast interview with Chris Jericho, Daniel Bryan revealed some interesting details about his name in WWE. He stated that management did not want him to use his real name of Bryan Danielson because they wanted to own the rights to it. Bryan also revealed that William Regal was the one that came up with his current name. Bryan also noted that Buddy Peacock and Lloyd Bonier were also suggested.
May 25, 2014
While he will forever associated with the famous wrestling last name, Ole Anderson is actually not an Anderson at all. His real name is Alan Rogowski. He simply adopted the Ole Anderson name to connect with the audience who were already familiar with Gene Anderson, his story line brother. Another interesting point of interest is that Ole Anderson is a play on the word oleander, a poisonous plant.
April 28, 2014
Ever since his debut with TNA, fans have been searching for information on the mysterious Tigre Uno. Since he is a masked wrestler, people have obviously been trying to uncover his true identity by looking for unmasked images of him online. Thus far, none have been found. That does not come as a surprise, as even his real name remains a mystery at this point.
April 4, 2014
On Monday Night Raw this week, WWE revealed that Scott Hall would be the final entry into the hall of fame at Wrestlemania 30. Here is the special video for that announcement. A lot of wrestling fans have noted that the company is opting to use the Razor Ramon name as opposed to his real name.
March 25, 2014
When the future WWE Hall of Fame inductee made his debut in professional wrestling in 1965, there were not a lot of prominent Asia people in the country, so Harry Fujiwara, who was actually born in the United States, opted to stop using his real name and shortened it to Mr Fuji. It was easier for promoters and fans to spell and pronounce, and the move paid off rather well.
March 20, 2014
As was the case with most other performers who portrayed a heel foreigner during the era, Ivan Koloff was not a Russian. He was actually born in Canada, and his real name is Oreal Perras. Prior to becoming a well known heel in the industry, Koloff portrayed yet another ethnicity. He was once known as Red McNulty, whose character was Irish.
February 25, 2014
Cody Rhodes made a special appearance at WWE NXT again this weekend. He showed up at a live event in Largo, Florida during a segment where Aiden English was berating Brandi Rhodes. The former tag team champion laid out the developmental wrestler being leaving with his wife.
February 15, 2014
Tyson Kidd paid a special visit to WWE NXT, and he ended up working the television taping in a match against Aiden English. Kidd successfully defeated the developmental wrestler in a singles match.
January 9, 2014
Since Sting made his WWE debut last night at Survivor Series 2014 by attacking Triple H, many are under the impression that a match between the two will be taking place soon. That might not necessarily be the case. Management is still hoping that Undertaker can be healthy enough to work a match at Wrestlemania 31, where he would do the dream match with Sting. HHH is said to be a backup opponent in case Undertaker cannot go.
November 24, 2014
Since rumors have been running rampant over the last couple of days about her possible departure from WWE, a lot of wrestling fans are under the belief that AJ Lee was punished by management at Survivor Series 2014 and forced to drop the title very quickly to Nikki Bella. Sources are saying that is not the case. It was an idea that the creative department came up and was not influenced by backstage heat.
November 24, 2014
For a good period of time there, the belief was that Randy Orton would be the mystery partner for the baby faces in the main event of Survivor Series 2014. There is a chance that might still happen. The former world heavyweight champion is backstage with WWE right now. Management could pull the trigger on a last minute change and have Orton, who was off filming a movie, replace one of the current team members.
November 23, 2014
Reports have surfaced that Roman Reigns is backstage at Survivor Series 2014. Some believe that he could be making an appearance during the pay per view. No word yet on what role that will be, but he could play a part in the main event elimination tag team match. Reigns could be utilized to attack Seth Rollins, which would reignite the feud between the two of them that was started before Reigns was sidelined by an injury.
November 23, 2014
Since they are now one of the more entertaining acts in the industry, Miz and Damien Sandow are the favorites to win the WWE tag team championship at Survivor Series 2014. Cody Rhodes and Goldust have lost a good amount of momentum, mainly due to the creative department not putting much focus on them. The feeling is that Miz and Sandow can help bring some energy back into the tag team division.
November 23, 2014
WWE is really desperate to increase the subscribers count for the WWE Network, and it might prompt them to pull the trigger on something that fans have long been waiting to see. In addition to providing their online service for free during the entire month of November, management is now seriously discussing the possibility of having Sting make his official on screen debut for the company.
November 22, 2014
There is a little bit of a buzz generating from the independent wrestling circuit. Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas are going to be reuniting for a show in Houston, which is being promoted by Booker T. The reason why there is a buzz brewing is because Kurt Angle recently teased fans on Twitter by asking them if they want to see a Team Angle reunion, which has sparked rumors that the Olympic gold medalist might be making a surprise appearance at the event.
November 22, 2014
Reports have surfaced that WWE intends on having Prince Devitt and Kenta Kobayashi continue working as a tag team. A possible tag title run is being discussed. However, this might lead to some problems, as one of the things that Devitt reportedly requested when he signed his contract was that he not be forced to stay in developmental for too long of a period. Devitt feels that he has enough international experience to be qualified for the main roster.
November 22, 2014
In what became a running joke, the New Day stable, which consists of Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E Langston, kept being delayed by WWE. The trio worked live events together, but they were not utilized on television. Reports have surfaced that the reason why management held off on their push was because of the situation taking place in Ferguson, where a white cop killed a black teenager. The company did not want anything that can be construed as racial on their programming, so the group had to wait.

While their new television contract with Destination America does not start until 2015, there are talks that TNA could start filming episodes of Impact Wrestling again in December. Initially, Dixie Carter had planned to do taping at the Manhattan Center in January, but those will now more than likely be canceled. The company would then film episodes in England during their annual tour of the country.
November 21, 2014
Some further details have been released about the return of Chris Jericho to WWE in January. In order to main his character's popularity, the former world heavyweight champion prefers to not be shown on television. Jericho wants to work live events, where he can still experience the thrill of entertaining an audience and be a marketing asset at the same time. An appearance at Royal Rumble 2015 is still a possibility.

While it is a well known fact now that Jim Ross will be calling the first Global Force Wrestling pay per view in January, it is still a mystery as to who will be joining him for the event. Reports have surfaced that both Ross and Jeff Jarrett were leaning towards adding Mike Tenay to the team. However, there might be some complications with that, as TNA has just secured themselves a new television deal.

Earlier in the week, it was revealed that Alberto Del Rio was going to be signing with two different wrestling promotions at the beginning of 2015. Reports have surfaced that one of those companies will be TNA. Del Rio is said to be adamant about being able to work in Mexico again, and TNA provides a bit more freedom than the bigger corporation up north. The belief is that the announcement can be made as soon as January.
November 18, 2014
Rumors about AJ Lee leaving WWE have popped up again. This time, the belief is that the Divas Champion will be wrapping up with the company in December. A part of the reason why the speculations have popped up is because AJ recently started her own website, independent of the company. Some believe that she is trying to make that her main source of revenue. For what it's worth, AJ is not advertised for events at the end of December.
November 18, 2014
There's been quite a bit of speculation this week about former divas returning to WWE. The latest name on the rumor mill is Maryse Ouellet. A big part of that is because the Miz mentioned the possibility on Twitter. There are those that believe that Maryse could be interested in a return, if it meant that she would get a spot on Total Divas. The exposure could help her business ventures exponentially.

Speculations are floating around right now that Brad Maddox has been given a release by WWE. Many noted that his profile was moved from the current roster to the alumni section on the website. Maddox has not been used much over the last couple of months, outside of a random appearance where he was actually allowed to work as an in ring performer. No confirmation has been given by WWE yet, however.
November 14, 2014
During the meeting with Rey Mysterio last week, it was made very clear that Vince McMahon was in charge of the situation. He is the one that desperately wants the popular masked performer back in the ring, even though Mysterio has made it clear that he does not want to make a return. McMahon reportedly pushed the former world heavyweight champion to return on a full time schedule, even though Mysterio does not feel that his body can hold up for that.
November 13, 2014
After months of silence between the two sides, Rey Mysterio and WWE got together recently backstage to discuss the contract situation that has been lingering for a bit. Reports are surfacing that Mysterio essentially told management that he was no longer interested whatsoever in working with the company and wishes to move on to other things. WWE is still hoping that the former world heavyweight champion will change his mind, as they really need the drawing power in Mexico.
November 11, 2014
Earlier in the week, Chael Sonnen caught the attention of the professional wrestling industry when he revealed that WWE had offered him a $5 million contract, which he claims to have turned down because he was dedicated to UFC at the time. However, sources within WWE are stating that the story is completely fabricated. Vince McMahon reportedly does not view Sonnen as someone worth that high amount of money.
November 6, 2014
There are speculations floating around that Antonio Cesaro has backstage heat on him from management because of some recent comments that he made in regards to the creative decisions being made by WWE. Some gasoline was thrown into the fire when Cesaro was shockingly defeated in two consecutive matches in a best of three falls match at Hell in a Cell 2014. Some are disputing the rumors, but we shall see how Cesaro is used in the upcoming weeks and months.

I worked at AT&T full-time (less than an year)
I worked for AT&T as a U-Verse Tier 1 Technical Support member through another company by contract. Most of the people there were great people very easy to get along with. The job itself was pretty easy, just sit there and answer the phone, follow the script, solve problem, done. The supervisors were great, always ready to help out. It's a good place to work to build up customer service experience.
It's a high volume call center so the moment you clocked in you were thrown to the wolves. You complete one call and are immediately thrown into another call. Very repetitive and some very angry customers sometimes but that comes with the job. Although it's easy to fix the technical problems if you're not good at customer interaction then this would be a bad fit for you as it was for me.

I have been working at AT&T full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
Decent hourly rate. Excellent training.Cons
The numbers you have to hit are completely unreasonable. They are constantly changing, and you get hit almost daily with some new thing to focus on. You would think working for Mobility, you would be selling cell phones. Wrong. You are expected to sell internet, Direct TV, Uverse TV, tablets, data connect devices, and home phones. There is always something new that gets added to the sales process. Today it's setting people up on ebill. Tomorrow may be selling Merchandise Protection Plans. There are so many things you are required to mention during every sales process that you are unable to connect with the customer and build rapport. You will be too worried about the manager standing in the corner doing observations. All you will think about is hitting everything you are required to say.
If you enjoy standing for hours on end, unbelievable micromanaging, and the most political environment I've seen in 20 years- then by all means take this position. If you enjoy having your commission plan "restructured" every year and losing money- then take this position. If your life's dream is to live in constant fear of not hitting numbers- this job is for you.
I never missed my numbers, so this isn't sour grapes. It's reality. This job has become ridiculous!Advice to ManagementAdvice
It wouldn't matter because management doesn't listen. We are constantly surveyed about how we feel. This is a complete waste of time because the company doesn't listen or care. My advice would be to find a balance between pushing employees to be successful without creating an environment of fear. Promotions shouldn't be based on politics.Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEO

I have
Five SQLquery that I need to run, either
Sequentially means one by one or
Independently. As currently what I am doing is that, I need to run all those
Five SQL query sequentially in one
Putty session or I can open five
Putty Session and enter one query each in those five Putty Sessions. So its very tedious and I need to run it manually. So I was thinking to automate the process.
Is there any way using some sort of scripts like Perl Script or Python script from which I can run all my Five queries either Sequentially or Independently?
Queries in my case are little bit complex and long but considering the above scenario I am taking the below five queries as an example- And these Five queries are not related to each other. And also these five SQL queries I am running using Hive.
SELECT * FROM Table1;
SELECT * FROM Table2;
SELECT * FROM Table3;
SELECT * FROM Table4;
SELECT * FROM Table5;
So My Question is how can I do that in any script language? Also I am not specific to any script, Just wanted to know which is better approach in my case. Any code snippets fulfilling my requirement will be appreciated.
I am working with HiveQL and HiveQL syntax is same as SQL Sytnax.
P.S. I am new to all the scripting languages.

 Can anyone tell me if ATMs anywhere in Mexico City dispense currencies other than Mexican Pesos?
 There are many countries where ATMs at airports, in particular, dispense as many as six different currencies.
 If I can get Euros out of a machine in Mexico City it'll save me bringing some to exchange later in Cuba.

There have been wide spread gas station scams at all three PEMEX gas stations reported by tourists over the years. I went to one of them (on 95 Av Sur & Av Lic. Benito Juarez --the road from San Gervasio Mayan Ruins to downtown). a few days ago to fill up tank before returning the rental car. At the gas station, I only drove ~80 kilometers on a full tank. The 2 attendants asked me to show them how much gas I have left (2/3 full). Then they filled up my tank for more than US$51. I told them I knew the cost should have been less than US$20 per estimate of my car rental agency. They declined to reason with me. Apparently, there are many reported cases of such scam at all three PEMEX gas stations on Cozumel for years (Google gas station scams in Cozumel).

 It's a shame for such an ugly behavior of human to be in contrast with such a beautiful natural world there.

 I assume its the APIS.

So far, so good. But the last sentence states that the US Goverment can deny me to even enter the plane, and that made me a bit insecure.

I got my ESTA revoked two years ago, applied for a visa at the US Embassy and was denied.

This is a non-stop flight. Google didnt really help me very much... Can you? :)

Or take from an ATM the amount that I'm gonna need for 3 weeks in mexican pesos and change it do Canadian dollars in Cancun and then take the CAD to Cuba and change it in some cadeca?

http://news.yahoo.com/cops-wore-cameras-california-towns-success-echoes-ferguson-121502335.htmlMEXICO CITY (AP) — The U.S. Embassy in Mexico issued a security message Friday warning U.S. citizens to avoid the Pacific resort of Acapulco because of violence and protests.

In yet another blow to a coastal city once favored by U.S. movie stars and jet-setters in the 1950s and '60s, the embassy said its personnel "have been instructed to defer non-essential travel to Acapulco, by air or land," and added that it "cautions U.S. citizens to follow the same guidelines."
 The alert noted that "protests and violent incidents continue in Guerrero state in response to the disappearance of 43 students there."
 Demonstrators have blocked highways to Acapulco, hijacked buses and blockaded the city's airport to demand the government find the students who disappeared Sept. 26 in the nearby city of Iguala. Prosecutors say local police working for a drug gang probably turned the students over to gang members, who may have killed them and burned their bodies.
 In early November, demonstrators blocked Acapulco's airport for hours carrying clubs, machetes and gasoline bombs, causing hotel reservations on a subsequent three-day holiday weekend to fall about 35 percent, said Javier Saldivar, head of Acapulco's business chamber. Hotel occupancy that should have neared 95 percent was only about 60 percent.
 "We suffered a serious loss," Saldivar said.
 While U.S. tourists account for about 55 percent of foreign visitors to Mexico, relatively few of them go to Acapulco any more. For example, while Mexico's most popular cruise ship port, Cozumel, handled 894 cruise ship arrivals in 2013, Acapulco had only 9.
 Drug gang violence has also played a role. In recent years there have even been some shootouts on Acapulco's famed coastal boulevard, but those incidents have calmed somewhat in the last two years.
 Acapulco was once a well-regarded destination. It was during a vacation there in the 1960s that novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez came up with the idea for "100 Years of Solitude." It was there that Bill Clinton took a young woman named Hillary for a honeymoon in 1975.
 But in the 1970s and '80s, the resort's infrastructure crumbled, and poor, crowded settlements sprung up inland from the bay, sparking rising problems of unemployment, crime and pollution.

Hi

I'm Planning a 2 week trip to Mexico beginning December and am a bit stuck on whether I'm being far too ambitious with my travel plans. Any advice/comments will be greatly appreciated!

My main concerns are diving as will as culture and food. My Spanish is non-existent (I am South Africa). I had planned to travel as follows:

Fly nyc to cancun, spend +-5 days in that general area (playa del carmen and Cozumel) to dive etc.

Travel to Oaxaca by bus. I realise I will probably need to break this journey up - suggestions please? I am looking for a good half way point(s) between the two - possibly Merida and then Palenque?

Spend a few days in Oaxaca and then journey on to Mexico City for my return flight to nyc.

Is this doable or is it too much time in transit?

Hello world.

I am writing as my girlfriend and I are interest in traveling to Mexico. She has stated only being comfortable staying in a "known hotel" with the preference of an all inclusive type deal. I have only done shoestring travel and have no idea how to go about looking for an all-inclusive type situation / finding the best deal for such a thing.

I am an experienced sport climber and she has just started so I think we will be limited to top-roping.

I am hoping for some advice in looking for an all-inclusive deal, and and rock climbing beta for top-roping 5.6 / 5.10.

Hi All,

If you had 4 days to visit a town (or towns) near Mexico City, which ones would you choose and why?

My wife and I are planning to go to Mexico from 11/22/14 - 12/01/14. We're flying in and out of Mexico City and will spend the first 5 days there, then would like to visit another town or towns from 11/26 - 11/29 before returning back to Mexico City for the last day and night of the trip. We expect that we'll travel by bus between locations, so we'd rather keep the transit time under 5-6 hrs. Please exclude Oaxaca and Guanajuato as we've already visited those towns.

Some activities we enjoy are general walking around and sightseeing, visiting ruins, exploring nature, checking out the markets and trying the local food, etc. We aren't into going to dance clubs or nightlife hotspots, don't do large group tours and enjoy exploring on our own, ideally avoiding large tourist traps if possible. However, we are willing to hop on a tour to a difficult to get to location, like ruins out of town, etc.

As for language, I can speak a bit of Spanish, enough to get through most situations, albeit clumsily.

Looking forward to any suggestions you all might share to help complete our itinerary!

Does anyone have some insight about the current situation along the Michoacan coast - specifically Caleta de Campos? We are very familiar with Zihuatanejo and are considering either taking the bus or hiring a driver to take us to Caleta and back for a week or so..

Deal seems close to end Anna Hazare's fast
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's leading anti-corruption campaigner edged closer Thursday to a deal to end his 10-day public fast after Prime Minister Manmohan's Singh government agreed to discuss his anti-graft proposals.
The campaign by 74-year-old Anna Hazare has sparked the biggest protests in decades, uniting millions of Indians, including its growing middle class, against a Congress Party-led government beset by corruption scandals in its second term.
The self-styled Gandhian activist said he would break his hunger strike if parliament began discussing his tough anti-corruption proposals, including incorporating low level civil servants into graft probes.
"If there is unanimity among all parties on these conditions then I will think about ending my fast, but not my protest," Hazare told thousands of his supporters.
A top government source with direct knowledge of the matter said Singh's government had agreed to discuss the proposals.
"Both the houses of parliament will discuss all versions of the Lokpal bill, including Team Anna's," the source, who declined to be named, told Reuters.
With key state elections due next year in the run-up to a general election in 2014, Singh is under pressure to end a crisis that has paralysed policy making and parliament and added to his unpopularity amid high inflation and a run of corruption scandals.
Political parties have united to ask Hazare to end the 10-day public fast that has drawn tens of thousands of supporters to a muddy expanse of open ground in the capital, New Delhi, with increasing concerns about his health.
"He has become the embodiment of our people's disgust and concern about tackling corruption," Singh told parliament. "I applaud him, I salute him. His life is much too precious and therefore, I would like to urge Anna Hazare to end this fast."
Hazare had so far appeared steadfast in his hunger strike, despite growing criticism that he is holding an elected parliament hostage to his demands. There was some confusion to whether Hazare would end the fast at the start of the debate or by the passing of an anti-corruption bill.
Police blocked streets around the prime minister's residence and closed metro stations nearby, detaining protesters and sending them home in buses, amid fears protests could escalate as talks appeared to be on the wire.
Singh proposed Thursday that parliament debate Hazare's bill as well as the government bill and a third piece of legislation on corruption to help forge a cross-party consensus.
Hazare was well enough to address crowds Thursday. He has lost nearly 7 kg (15 lbs) since the start of his fast.
"I am sure I will not die until we get the Jan Lokpal (anti-corruption) bill ... I will keep fighting," he said.
Hazare's deteriorating health could force the government to decide to force-feed him, a move that would risk sparking further protests against a fumbling government of elderly ministers widely seen as out of touch.
Many of India's fast-growing urban middle class have joined forces with Hazare to protest against a system that requires bribes for everything from driver's licences to birth certificates and has allowed politicians and businessmen to cream off millions of dollars through shady deals.
Several scandals linked to the government, including a telecoms bribery scam that may have cost the state up to $39 billion in lost revenues, led to Hazare's latest protest.

Rich Lowry: Lincoln Defended
Rich Lowry is editor of National Review. Parts of this essay are drawn from his new book Lincoln Unbound: How an Ambitious Young Railsplitter Saved the American Dream — and How We Can Do It Again, coming out this month from Broadside Books.Decades ago, the distinguished Lincoln biographer David Herbert Donald coined the phrase "getting right with Lincoln" to describe the impulse people feel to appropriate Lincoln for their own political agendas. Anyone who has watched Barack Obama, who as a senator wrote an essay for Time magazine entitled "What I See in Lincoln's Eyes" and swore the oath of office as president on Lincoln's Bible, will be familiar with the phenomenon. Democrats like to claim Lincoln as, in effect, the first Big Government liberal, while Republicans tout him as the founder of their party.But the reflex identified by Donald isn't universally felt. A portion of the Right has always hated Old Abe. It blames him for wielding dictatorial powers in an unnecessary war against the Confederacy and creating the predicate for the modern welfare state, among sundry other offenses against the constitutional order and liberty.

The End of the Affair by Graham Greene (Penguin, $15). Maurice Bendrix, novelist, gives us the "record of hate" that is his account of his adulterous affair with one Sarah Miles. Greene forces Bendrix to wrestle with the possibility of miracles, which makes Bendrix even angrier.
Sabbath's Theater by Philip Roth (Vintage, $16). The affair that Mickey Sabbath, gifted puppeteer, has with an innkeeper's wife catapults him into a journey backward. The novel is a debauched sexual roller coaster that ends with Roth's best closing line — a line about turning away from death: "How could he go? Everything he hated was here."
Emily, Alone by Stewart O'Nan (Penguin, $15). Emily Maxwell, the least creative person on this list, is in her eighth decade and passes her days mostly alone at home in Pittsburgh. Perhaps there is some small betrayal in Emily's husband having died before her. A car dies too, and Emily takes up with a bright blue Subaru. Who knew a writer could give readers such joy by describing an old woman falling asleep on a winter afternoon?
The End of the Story by Lydia Davis (Picador, $16). Davis's novel about an affair between an older writer and a much younger man disorients and frightens us with the possibilities of what any of us might do when overcome by obsessive love. I am afraid to read it again, but my wife and I keep several copies around the house.
The Great Man by Kate Christensen (Anchor, $15). Painter Oscar Feldman's life is dismantled shortly after his death by two biographers and the women who endured him. Love among the elderly is revered here, and it is a subject that writers too often ignore. And Kate Christensen, one of our best living writers, makes the women who speak about Oscar wild and whole.
Gods' Man by Lynd Ward (Dover, $9). This 1929 graphic novel is about a painter celebrated by art dealers and rich people. He is then robbed, scorned, and banished, and ultimately he leaves the dirty city to find a happy life with a wife and child before death greets him with a smile. Ward's story in pictures is unabashedly sentimental, and completely brilliant.
In Ben Schrank's third novel, Love Is a Canoe, a widower is forced to reconsider the advice he doled out in a best-selling self-help book.

Obituary: Leon Griffiths
Friday 31 July 1992
But journalism's loss was television's gain; and only a bigoted traditionalist would argue that 'Arfur' Daley was a comic creation inferior to Sam Weller or Bertie Wooster. I met Leon only once or twice - when he moved out of his mother's flat in, by then, a salubrious part of Hampstead, I moved in as a lodger - but his laconic wit delighted me. He recounted, hilariously, his meeting with a literary agent who had told him, 'Three things are doing very well now: Sex, Crime and Real Life.' Leon Griffiths, to his credit, chose real life.
How much of his character he owed to his remarkable mother is not for me to assess, but a book could be written about her and it would be more than a slim volume. I remember how the genteel woman who lived on the ground floor, apparently unaware of Sadie's political background, inquired: 'But why won't you put up a Conservative poster in your window, Mrs Griffiths?' To which the answer, conveyed in the richest of Glaswegian accents but mild in the circumstances, was: 'Because I don't want the buggers to get in]'

"One stupid thought and I killed him. I loved him. Why did I do it?" said a distressed Lucille Sarah Scollay when she was with police in the hours after she had stabbed her husband to death.
Constable Barbara Morse said Scollay, 45, was distressed, crying and on her hands and knees when Morse arrived at the Edgeware Rd scene at 3.10am on February 10 last year.
Guy Christian Scollay had been stabbed about 15 minutes earlier.
Scollay denies the charge of murdering him.
Her defence counsel, Rupert Glover, has told the trial in the High Court at Christchurch that Scollay accepted the only possible verdicts were guilty of murder or manslaughter.
Morse this morning quoted Scollay as saying: "I killed him. Oh God. Oh God. I'm so sorry, Guy. What the f... happened? I don't believe it."
Morse said Scollay continued to be distressed and tearful and talked constantly in an interview room at the police station.
Scollay had said: "I don't know how I did it. It's wicked, just wicked.
"My poor son [Louis Scollay, then aged 19, who was at the house at the time]. How am I going to face anybody after this. It's just too heinous."
Scollay had said she did not mean to kill her husband but just wanted things to change, Morse said.
"I loved him but I could not help him. I just destroyed everything."
She had also said: "I just felt trapped, helpless – that's not a defence, is it?"
The trial has been told that the couple had been married for 20 years, but Guy Scollay had been debilitated with fear of outdoor spaces, apparent anxiety, and drug addiction for many years. He had barely gone out of the house and was on the methadone programme.
Scollay was also depressed, on medication, and had been on the methadone programme herself.
Morse said Scollay had talked about why the ambulance had not arrived sooner after the stabbing.
Detective Rachel Jefferies interviewed and later arrested Scollay for murder.
Scollay had told her: "How can I have done that to him. He's not bad. We were just miserable. I can't believe I did that. What was I thinking."
She had said: "I didn't want to kill Guy. I miss him already."
Jefferies recorded Scollay saying: "God, Guy, please forgive me. We can't keep living like this. We are miserable. I love him. He's so damaged. We both are. I don't want him to die. I just want him to change."
Scollay told the police that she and her husband had never had a conversation about assisting him with suicide.
A forensic scientist for Environmental Science and Research (ESR), Wendy James, said she examined the Scollays' Edgeware Rd house on the day of the murder.
Guy Scollay was lying on his back on the floor of a bedroom, with medical equipment about, and a black-handled knife on top of a stack of books on the floor. The body had an oval-shaped wound near the left nipple.
She described the pattern of blood stains in the bedroom. Extensive blood staining in the bed indicated that Guy Scollay had been stationary in the centre of the bed for a time after receiving his injury.
Possible blood staining was found by testing in the laundry and bathroom, and blood was found on the knife.
Another forensic toxicologist at ESR, Samantha Coward, said she analysed a blood sample from Scollay. The sample taken at 7.30am on the day of the homicide showed a level of 93 milligrams of alcohol to 100 millilitres of blood.
Assuming a normal rate of "clearing" alcohol by her body, she estimated the level of alcohol at the time of the stabbing – about 2.55am – would have been between 138mg and 183mg. The legal driving limit is 80mg.
Forensic scientist Richard Wivell said DNA analysis showed extremely strong indications that the blood from the knife blade and on the washing machine in the laundry came from Guy Scollay.
Justice Cameron Mander has told the jury that it was expected that the trial would finish hearing all the evidence today, which is just the second day of the trial, and the jury would retire to consider its verdict tomorrow.
The jury was going to watch the DVD recording of the police interview with Scollay today.

Classes can be any day of the week (even weekends) in the morning, afternoon or evening.
In certain circumstances, if your home or office is not suitable, you can take your classes at the trainer's office. All course materials are provided.
We will be happy to offer a free language consultancy before the start of your language training course. This normally takes the form of a telephone conversation in which your specific language training requirements are discussed. We talk about the business situations in which you might be required to use your new language skills, and what work-specific terminology you would like to be able to use in the target language. We can also advise on the best method of learning for you to achieve your goals, and then design a language training course which will enable you to achieve them.
First lesson was great!
If your employer requires or recommends that you take a French course in The Hamptons, our one-on-one French courses are just the thing. The classes are based on your needs and will soon have you feeling confident with business introductions and whatever else you want to learn. Those who have completed our beginner business French course can expect to have gained ample telephone and email skills to communicate with ease in French, as well as survival French, necessary for effective communication during short trips to countries where the native language is French.
We know that every French student has different needs and wants. This is why our French courses in The Hamptons have been designed to allow anyone to learn in the way which best suits them. One of the most exciting aspects of our courses is that they are developed entirely around the needs of the students. The survival French that the student will gather from our one-on-one French courses will enable the user to speak with confidence in countries where French is the native tongue; making it the perfect option for those heading abroad, or studying for an exam in French.
Anyone who prefers to learn in the company of friends or work colleagues can also take French courses in The Hamptons with us. By choosing our Two-to-One or In-Company Small Group French classes in The Hamptons the students can still benefit from our professional, tailored approach to the lessons. All participants must have the same language needs, be able to study at the same time at the same place and be at the same level. All participants should be booked at the same time. This type of approach is ideal for up to 8 French students. Bigger groups than this can still be catered for, with a maximum of 12 able to take part in an In-Company Taster French course.
The Spanish, and others from countries around the Mediterranean, are known to make a fair bit of use of gestures when they're talking. If you're learning Spanish it would be useful to become famil...

Matt Bonner, DeJuan Blair pace San Antonio Spurs' 105-83 blowout of Atlanta Hawks
SAN ANTONIO — Matt Bonner and DeJuan Blair both scored 17 points, and the San Antonio Spurs handed the surging Atlanta Hawks their first lopsided loss of the season, 105-83 on Wednesday night.
Tiago Splitter added 16 points for the Spurs, who relished a convincing win over the Southeast Division leaders after losing two of their previous three and barely squeaking past woeful New Orleans on Monday night.
Jeff Teague led Atlanta with 22 points. Kirk Hinrich made his season debut, after missing 18 games recovering from shoulder surgery, and scored seven points in 14 minutes.
Joe Johnson had just 10 points for Atlanta. The 22-point blowout was a rare embarrassment for the Hawks (13-6), who had won six of seven.
Atlanta's few losses this season included a triple-overtime heartbreaker to LeBron James and Miami, and a two-point defeat to Derrick Rose and Chicago.
The Hawks got manhandled this time, largely by an underperforming outfit of San Antonio role players.
Tony Parker had 15 points, and Tim Duncan scored just six and grabbed 11 rebounds. San Antonio's reserves outscored the Hawks bench players 51-27.
Johnson, who had averaged 23 points in Atlanta's previous seven games, shot just 5 of 12 from the floor. Josh Smith added 13 points on 6 of 17 shooting.
The Spurs shot 51 percent from the floor, marking the first time this season that Atlanta has allowed an opponent to make more than half its shots.
The Spurs have been practically auditioning scorers without Manu Ginobili, who could miss at least another month because of a broken left hand. Parker has been the lone constant on offense, yet even the 29-year-old star entered the game shooting his lowest percentage (46 percent) in a half-decade.
He stumbled early against the Hawks and finished 5 of 13. The reserves picked up the slack.
Bonner, the 3-point gunner stumbling through a career-worst shooting slump, eclipsed double digits for only the third time this season and tied a season high with five 3s. Splitter, who scored a career-high 25 points in a weekend loss to Houston, was in double figures for the fifth straight game.
Even little-used rookie point guard Cory Joseph scored a season-best eight points in 19 minutes. The Spurs started the second quarter with the combination of Joseph, Splitter, Bonner, Gary Neal and Danny Green, who made for a surprising scoring unit that doubled San Antonio's lead to 41-28 in a span of six minutes.
Green finished with 10 points.
The Spurs improved to 10-1 at home, but are 2-6 on the road. They have only three more home games before they spend much of February away because of an annual Rodeo Road Trip.
Notes: The Hawks haven't beaten the Spurs on the road since Duncan entered the NBA in 1997.
