EPA Issues Call for Papers With Smart Growth Focus
June 1, 2005
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a call for papers for the first annual Smart and Sustainable Campuses Conference to be held November 3-4, 2005, at the University of Maryland, College Park. Abstracts must be submitted by July 15.
College and universities are faced with many environmental issues and have significant impact on the built and natural environment. Many institutions are addressing issues associated with growth, energy, transportation, waste management, and relationships with local communities through innovative practices and solutions. This conference will bring together university and college leaders in the areas of campus planning and development; environmental health and safety; sustainability; finance and business; facilities management; and procurement as well as decision makers in communities in which colleges and universities are located. In addition to EPA and the University of Maryland, the conference is sponsored by NACUBO, the Society for College and University Planning, and the Association of Higher Education Facilities Officers.
This is a call for papers to showcase best practices that are appropriate to the program session.

East Franklin couple waives extradition in kidnapping case
An East Franklin man and woman waived their right to have an extradition hearing Friday morning and could be picked up by Virginia authorities next week.
Edward Lee Bracken, 35, and Regina Lynn Powell, 29, both of 20 Lindenwood Drive, appeared in court yesterday on a charge out of Floyd County, Va. in connection with the disappearance of a 15-year-old female.
Judge Kenneth Valasek informed the defendants of their rights and said they could be transported south sometime next week. Bracken and Powell both face a charge of computer solicitation of a child 15 years of age with the accused being seven years or more older for purposes of sexual sodomy, according to a warrant issued by Virginia authorities earlier this week.
The pair is being held in the Armstrong County Jail on $100,000 bail each for alleged crimes that occurred in Armstrong County. They both face charges of concealment of the whereabouts of a child and unlawful contact with a minor.
District Attorney Scott Andreassi said the local charges will be dismissed, allowing Virginia authorities to handle the entire case.
According to court documents, state police responded to the Lindenwood Drive residence on the night of June 17 with a caseworker from Children, Youth and Family Services and found the 15-year-old girl. She told police that she met Bracken and Powell on the Internet several months ago.
On June 15, Bracken called the girl and picked her up at her house, according to court documents. The three stayed at a camp site in Virginia that night and then drove to East Franklin after the girl said she did not want to go home, police said.
State police said the couple sexually assaulted the girl. According to court documents, the defendants told police that they talked to the girl online about having sex and went to Virginia for that purpose.

Usually love visiting this restaurant. In fact we booked it to celebrate my birthday but they were obviously short staffed and harassed. When the food eventually arrived it had so much sauce on it my daughter couldn't find her chicken and consequently left most of it. What a shame I hope they sort out the staffing problem soon otherwise we will not hurry back!

First time eating at Prezzo and was pleasantly surprised. Not being a great lover of Italian food, went with some trepidation as not particularly keen on chain restaurants but everybody in our party enjoyed their meals. My only concern was that I thought some of the dishes were slightly overpriced and car parking was an issue owing to location. However, on the whole,a pleasant experience.

Watching Cable TV in Olton
Here's some information about cable TV in Olton, TX we here at CableTV.com think you might like. In more than one-third of U.S. homes you can find four or more televisions, in part because 97% of the population still watches regularly broadcast TV. Because 72% of all TV viewers bundle cable with Internet, it only makes sense that 48% of them stream some content online. In Olton, that means there are 746 people with multiple televisions, 2,192 people watching scheduled programming, 1,627 bundling their cable services and 1,085 of those bundlers who stream TV online.

"The return address label saves my 10 year old son a lot of time on his thank you cards. I bought these along with the paint ball thank you cards. They are the perfect accompaniment. The blue is beautiful and the splat is all boy. Along with the paint ball thank you cards, the return address labels give a very professional look to my son's thank you cards. I'm impressed!"
"I ordered these for my son, which is a young adult. Quality is superb! I would definitely recommend, especially if you are looking for something not so feminine."
"These are simple and easy to read. They match the card that comes with it which is a nice touch. I like that it has a cross, but it is not the central focus of the label."
"The Quality of the label is really nice. It's thick enough and really looks great! I've had such good comments from my friends and family. I've even bought them as gifts for other family members. I highly recommend this product!"
"I ordered these to match my daughter's birth announcement and I just loved how the mailings turned out. To make things even easier, I ordered these and had my envelopes sent to me ahead of time so when I went to the hospital I already had my envelopes addressed and stamped! Total time saver and it was nice to not worry about any of this stuff while in the hospital with my new daughter."

Female vs. male senators
As the son of a woman, the husband of a woman and the father of daughters and granddaughters, I celebrate the record number of females who are now United States senators. However, I do see some differences in the way these and other women are treated, depending on their party, policies and beliefs.
Diane Sawyer broadcast a celebratory report last week on ABC's "World News Tonight" on which she gushed about the "record number" of 20 female senators. Senator Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., also praised the Senate female population. Senator Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said she won't be satisfied until there are 50 female senators.
In the Senate, the ratio of female Democrats to Republicans is 16 to 4. Would media approval for these women be different if the ratio were reversed? Consider how conservative females are treated, most notably Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn. During her presidential run, Bachmann was labeled a religious fanatic and anti-woman for being pro-life. Her husband Marcus was criticized because of his Christian counseling clinic that some allege focuses on converting gays to heterosexuality, a charge he vehemently denies.
The media mostly ignore other Republican women, like Gov. Susana Martinez of New Mexico — at least for now.
"We're less on testosterone," Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., told Sawyer. "We don't have that need to always be confrontational. And I think we're problem solvers, and I think that's what this country needs." Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, agreed.
So testosterone is to blame for the fact that male senators are so combative and that Congress continues to founder? Imagine a male suggesting that estrogen hampers women from performing well at their jobs. You don't have to imagine. Some men have said that and worse, to their shame, and society and ultimately history itself was right to denounce them.
But after all the talk about female bonding and how women and men have different approaches to solving problems, what does that mean? Does it mean that a Democratic female senator who is pro-choice on abortion and favors same-sex marriage, bigger roles for government, more spending and higher taxes will be able to find common ground with a Republican female senator who takes the opposite positions? I doubt it.
This double standard seems not only to apply to gender, but also to race. Consider the disparaging things said about Tim Scott, the new senator from South Carolina, a replacement for the retired Jim DeMint. Scott is black, but his race does not endear him to liberals. He probably won't be embraced by the NAACP, whose president accused him of not believing in civil rights, having received an "F" on the NAACP's civil rights scorecard, which judges legislators on their votes on "civil rights" issues. In fact, Scott is just as much an example of the advancement of civil rights for blacks as those female senators are examples of progress for women.
In the end, it isn't about gender or race, but ideology. When they speak of "women's issues," for example, the left seems to think that all women think alike, or should. The same for African Americans and civil rights. I think the right correctly sees content of character and ideas as superior to gender and skin color.
In the interview with Diane Sawyer, Senator Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said that by nature women are "less confrontational." Really? McCaskill must never have met the leaders of the women's movement whose disciples are among her colleagues. The chair of the Democratic National Committee, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., is no shrinking violet.
I'm not betting on estrogen besting testosterone to "get things done," forge compromise and diffuse confrontation, especially given the history of some very uncompromising female leaders like Cleopatra, Catherine the Great, underground railroad "conductor" Harriet Tubman, the late Bella Abzug, D-NY., or British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. In fact, these women exhibited more testicular fortitude than some men, which, in the case of the conservative Thatcher, likely had a lot to do with why her male colleagues dumped her as party leader.

Samsung mobile technology is set to be used for on-board camera viewing and social communications aboard Boeing's CST-100 spacecraft, according to former astronaut, Christopher Ferguson.
Samsung slims down its zoom lens camera smartphone and brings selfie-features across from its camera line.
The Korean electronics giant makes some iterative changes to its predecessor's shell and design, but packs a great deal more gadgetry and technology in the 5.1-inch beast.
The big question for Samsung is whether technologies like Android and NFC can create a halo effect and all-Samsung households to replicate Apple's success.
The South Korean firm has announced Isocell, a way to improve a camera's image quality without increasing the hardware's size.
After becoming the market leader in South Korea's mirrorless camera market during the last quarter of 2012, Samsung is focusing more resources to win over 25 percent global marketshare by 2015.
People are using their smartphones for cameras, so Samsung released a camera with Android on the back. It's a nice solution that takes solid photos, but it's rather expensive at $550.
Samsung has introduced a new mid-range handset to its Galaxy range that includes 4G LTE connectivity, dual-core processor, and a 5-megapixel camera.
Samsung, Toshiba, Sharp, Panasonic -- we've heard from several of the heavy hitters at CES already, and they say consumers want smart TV tech. Really?
The South Korean tech giant has two R&D centres in Israel – and their work can currently be seen on Samsung's flagship Galaxy smartphone.
Dropbox is spreading its wings with integration on Samsung's new Galaxy Camera as well as the Galaxy Note II.
The verdict is in, and Samsung is looking at a hefty fine in the US if its appeals process is unsuccessful. But does the ruling have any bearing on the companies' ongoing legal fight in Britain?
What happens when you advertise WiFi ready devices that actually aren't? Consumer watchdogs will descend.
Two of the biggest names in technology (Apple and Samsung) have locked horns in an ugly legal battle with each claiming the other stole its IP. The judge should rule in favor of Apple because simply saying that you had a similar design "in the labs" doesn't cut it.
As expected, Sony and Panasonic have agreed to partner up to take on Samsung --- and likely Apple --- as the OLED television industry sets its sights on a shift away from LCD technology.
The NSW Government has opted to roll out internet protocol (IP) telephones to the parliament and electoral offices, selecting Samsung Communications and Commander for the work.
Panasonic updates its DMC-GF3 entry-level interchangeable lens compact camera with incremental but useful new features.
Panasonic announces a pair of waterproof point-and-shoot cameras--one on the high end with features like GPS, compass, altimeter, and barometer, and one aggressively priced entry-level model.
Samsung is being formally investigated by the European Commission over licensing deals it made with rival manufacturers for the use of patents essential to mobile telephony standards

Instead Of The All-Star Game

from Chris Stevenson of the Ottawa Sun,
So (deep breath), how about an eight-team, four-on-four tournament?
It's not as complicated as it sounds.
I've put a good 20 minutes of thought into this.
The teams would represent the seven big hockey nations with Canada getting two teams (I'm making the rules here) to make a nice even number along with the USA, Russia, Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Teams Can't Address Weaknesses

from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
How equitable again is the collective bargaining agreement re-entry waivers clause that prohibited the Kings from recalling without prejudice superior AHL goaltender Jason LaBarbera even after both of L.A.'s top two goaltenders went on injured reserve?
No one should misunderstand, least of all league GMs. The triple-cap CBA is acting exactly as the punitive document it was meant to be. Predominant mediocrity is not only legislated by the hard salary cap, it is enforced by the system that has made trades obsolete.

Earning their tips- Wild tip specialist Mark Parrish says the three players he respects the most when it comes to redirecting pucks are Edmonton's Ryan Smyth, Detroit's Tomas Holmstrom and St. Louis' Keith Tkachuk. It's no surprise then that when asked what he plans to do in the skills contest Tuesday, Smyth said, "I don't imagine they have a deflections competition."
Southern discomfort- Is there a worse hockey market than Nashville?
Their exceptional ownership steps up and signs Paul Kariya and Jason Arnott. There's stability off the ice with the same coach (Barry Trotz) and GM (David Poile) since Day 1.
Yet, on Thursday, when Nashville overtook sinking Anaheim for first in the NHL, an announced 10,927 showed up to watch the Preds' shutout over Columbus.
What more can this franchise do to embrace the fans? And imagine, the Pittsburgh Penguins could be moving.

From Joe O'Connor of the National Post:
He is a sports marketer's dream: a polite, well-spoken, handsome and humble teenager with supreme hockey skills.
He is a sports marketer's dream: a snarling, sometimes foul-mouthed hockey hooligan who can bellow "You're f—-ing dead," at an opponent when he feels wronged.
He is a young man with two distinct sides, and it is Sidney Crosby's split personality that makes him the most attractive NHL commodity to skate for an American-based team since Wayne Gretzky tearfully bid goodbye to Edmonton for Los Angeles.
"He is exactly the way Michael Jordan was," says Marc Ganis, president of Sportscorp, a Chicago- based sports marketing firm.

Spector at his Fox Sports blog wants to know…
So, if you were a general manager looking for a first line center, would you make this trade? Would you trade away some promising young talent and draft picks and risk sacrificing your team's future for a quick fix player who's battling pain and might not even be available for every game and might not be playing at his best? A player who'll be gone by the summer?
I know I wouldn't. Would you, dear readers? Lemme know.

Miller To Wear Yellow Ribbon Mask
by George Malik on 01/20/07 at 06:16 PM ET

This is a follow-up to the stories posted by Paul 12 days ago and A2Y yesterday.
from the Sporting News:
Sabres goalie Ryan Miller and several other NHL players are going to Dallas-Fort Worth airport on Tuesday to greet returning soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan. The Stanley Cup also will be there (although it would be shocking if Miller broke hockey code and actually picked up the Cup before earning it on the ice).
Also, while visiting with the troops Miller is going to show two new goalie masks custom-designed to honor U.S. and Canadian troops. The masks, designed by renowned sports artist David Arrigo, will be displayed in the terminal during the visit. Arrigo has done paintings for all sports and sporting events. He designed the Canadian mask after a relative of a friend of his was killed in combat in Afghanistan. After seeing it, the NHL asked him to design one with an American theme.
By the time the returning soldiers see the masks at the airport, the masks will already be part of an online auction on NHL.com. They'll go up on the auction at 3 p.m. Monday. Proceeds from auction will benefit the United Services Organization (USO), the Canadian Forces Personnel Support Agency (CFPSA) and The Sapper Mike McTeague Wounded Warrior Fund.

Zajac Keeps An Even Keel

from the Winnipeg Free Press:
The transition from living in your parents' house and sharing a room with your brother to big-time pro athlete with all the trappings can often happen overnight. Ask Travis Zajac, hot rookie with the New Jersey Devils.
The 21-year-old Zajac was worrying about homework and whether his well-used Buick Century would make it through another winter as a student athlete at the University of North Dakota at this time last year.
Now it's chartered flights, days off in New York City and a bank account that most would covet. But don't worry about Zajac getting a big head. He's still an unassuming Winnipegger, his mom is still his biggest fan and he still treats reporters with respect. The latter usually wears off the quickest, but Zajac is one of those kids who realizes how lucky he is and has no sense of entitlement.
"It's pretty surreal. Most nights I'm playing against one of my heroes. Guys I grew up watching on TV. Joe Sakic or Joe Thornton. It's been said before, but I have to pinch myself sometimes to make sure it's real," laughed Zajac.

from Peter Cheney of the Globe and Mail,
The Age of YouTube has produced new, splintered brands of minor fame—and until last week, hockey coach Dave Gwyn had no idea that his own team was starring in an Internet clip that has put one of Toronto minor hockey's violent secrets on the world stage.
The footage, tagged "Martone vs. Tric," shows several members of Mr. Gwyn's Triple-A team engaging in "locker boxing," an activity that resembles a gladiatorial combat in hockey helmets and gloves.

Regner: Next season could be finale for Red Wings coach Babcock
MAY 09, 2014 10:08a ET
Mike Babcock will coach the Detroit Red Wings through the end of next season. That's a certainty.
But beyond next year, it's really up to Babcock.
When the Wings gathered to take their team picture and clean out their lockers a little over a week ago, Babcock made his intentions perfectly clear.
For now, he'll continue to coach in Detroit in some capacity because his daughter will be a senior in high school.
Babcock jokingly said that if he wasn't the Wings coach next season, he'd be Red Berenson's assistant at Michigan.
And then he said, "Look, I can get a job."
After the 2014-15 season -- Babcock's last under contract -- he will have been Detroit's coach for 10 seasons.
It's a common belief that, regardless of how effective a coach is, the message becomes stale after a decade, making a change of scenery beneficial for the team and often the outgoing coach.
There are always exceptions to that rule, and Babcock could certainly be one of those exceptions. But he's in a rare position.
This is how I see Babcock's contract situation playing out.
Red Wings GM Ken Holland will receive a contract extension sometime this summer. He and Babcock will then be perfectly content starting the season with Babcock as a lame duck.
As the season unfolds, speculation will mount about Babcock's future, and this will be the official statement -- from both the coach and team -- throughout the campaign: "We'll address the situation after the season."
Babcock is the best coach in hockey. Everybody knows that, and at the conclusion of next season, he'll be the NHL's hottest unrestricted free agent.
He's in a position of complete control, and if Babcock does decide to take his talents elsewhere, this won't be a snub to the Wings. In fact, it will most likely be a mutual parting of ways.
The Red Wings' lineup is getting younger by the minute, and the man most responsible for the rapid development of their young talent is Grand Rapids head coach Jeff Blashill.
He's also in the last year of his contract and is considered one of the top young coaches in the game. He was recently voted the AHL's outstanding coach for the 2013-14 season.
The Wings don't want to lose Blashill, so if Babcock leaves, Blashill could very well be his replacement.
The Wings and Babcock have had tremendous run together, and despite what happens next season, he'll always be regarded as the Wings second-best coach ever, behind Scotty Bowman.
But Babcock knows the score and was dead on when he told reporters that he can get a job.
It will likely be a job that he'll be able pick from many suitors, so don't be surprised if Babcock punches his ticket out of town. It could be the only time in his career when it will be completely his choice.

I just don't see the point of a standalone portable gaming device when we have phones that are running the Unreal 3 engine and
Driving games are quite bearable. A few other genres work... some puzzlers... But playing an FPS on a phone sucks donkey balls. And anything that requires more than one or two buttons is unplayable... Scrolling shooters? 2D-fighters? Platformers... Disasters all of them.
That's about phones, and in a country where essentially no one buys a phone without a contract. It's a cultural thing, folks in USA are used to paying a shitload of money in installments, but almost nothing in front. I believe it has to do with way finances are designed to work for individuals in USA, essentially slaving them to stable income, and encouraging debt that's just barely repayable.
Go to some EU countries, or even third world and you'll see the exact opposite. That's why nokia is still the king of phones across third world - it's phones are actually honest to god cheap rather then "costs you an arm and a leg, but will cut them off slowly over 2 years as you pay its actual price".
When some people discover the truth, they just can't understand why everybody isn't eager to hear it.

My husband of 21yrs in the United States Army was injured in Iraq. Through out 18 surgeries within 4 years our family of 3 fell on some really hard times. Living in hospitals and hotels for most of that time. We were referred to Adopt A Platoon in 2010. From the first phone call in the middle of a crisis this organization basically adopted our family! Helped with expense the Army couldn't fund! Example the army would pay for me to be a caregiver but not for our 4yr old at the time. For the past 4 yrs not only has this organization helped us financial but has provided pure love and genuine support!
Because of this organization I did not feel alone and I now have another family to turn too!
I can never say thank you enough!

Brewed yesterday and pitched yeast at around 6:30 pm. Should I be seeing any bubbles yet? Anything I should worry?
Just sit back and relax. It can take up to three days to see any signs of fermentation. Usually not that long, but you have nothing to worry about yet.
Wow, brown ales must be a popular first brew choice. I just did my first brew on Saturday (also brown ale). Out of curiosity what temp did you pitch at? And, what temp is the fermenter sitting in right now?
Because 65-70% is the proper temp.
I have a brown ale in fermentation now but it is my second batch. I brewed mine this past Saturday morning and didn't notice any airlock activity until Sunday evening. It's bubbling right along now. Maybe yours is just getting off to a slow start (like mine did).
Primary: Guava Pale Ale (Dry hopped with Citra)
Drinking: Strong Ale
Up Next: Imperial Stout Aged on Bourbon Soaked French Oak Chips
Thanks for the advice!!
Apparatus - is there a good rule of thumb for time where things could've gone wrong?
If you seen nothing by day 3 I would start getting suspicious. Also don't worry about the babby poop looking stuff that will be floating on top. I love brown ales and have a few good recipes that I can brew from grain to glass in 5 days(taste great by day 11) Your ferm temp sounds a little high for dry yeast which is what I imagine you pitched. Generally the higher the ferment temp the more flavors your going to get from your yeast. Great for whit beers and belgians bad for beer I like clean like my browns but pallets Differ.

Agreed. Are we over the "Macaframa" issue yet?
Can we start a "Black Friday 722ts" club?
Also, that candy apple 722 w/cutout looks amazing.
Right, but all the models that do have smooth welds say so in the description. Some have them, some don't. I really don't get why that's so confusing.
That green looks so nice.
Really enjoy the graphics... just found the font and made a cutting file to replicate them. This should hold me over until I can buy one.

The Victorian Government has revealed more than 100 inner-city properties will be demolished to make way the first stage of the East West tollway.
The detailed plans also show another 258 properties will be affected by a four-kilometre tunnel from Clifton Hill to Parkville.
The Premier Denis Napthine says the owners of houses to be demolished, will be fairly compensated under the compulsory acquisition scheme.
The Opposition says people who stand to lose their homes have been treated badly.

HEALTHDog fighting used to be a sport meant to entertain police officers and firefighters, and was advertised in police gazettes. Now that numerous laws have been passed that make dog fighting illegal, the sport has simply gone underground.
DOG HEALTH Many new puppies are adopted throughout the year, especially around Holiday time. One responsibility most first time dog owners forget to take into account is the amount of veterinary care that is necessary in keeping your puppy happy and healthy!

Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
06 Mar 2012 10:51 GMT | Politics, Asia, Latin America, Brazil, India
India's ruling Congress party is trailing in fourth place as vote counting neared its end in the country's most populous state of Uttar Pradesh, indicating a mid-term blow for the national government and a setback for the fortunes of the Gandhi political dynasty.
Tuesday's early results meant bad news for Congress party General Secretary Rahul Gandhi who had staked his political future on reviving his party's fortunes in the key northern state.
Gandhi, scion of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty that has ruled India for most of its 65 years of independence, had campaigned tirelessly to revive his centre-left party in a politically crucial state where it has not held power for 22 years.
The campaign was also seen as a test of his fitness to take over from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh after federal elections due in 2014.
Elections to provincial assemblies were held in five states over a period of one month, but it is the outcome from Uttar Pradesh where 200 million people live amid deep levels of poverty that is considered to be the most significant.
With partial results in for 386 of the 403 assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh, Congress and a regional ally were leading in just 38, according to the Election Commission.
Congress, which heads the federal coalition government, won only 22 of the state's seats in the last poll.
This could mean a return to power for Mulayam Singh Yadav, a former wrestler who first governed Uttar Pradesh from 1989, when Rahul's father, Rajiv, was still alive.
However, Yadav's party - the leftist Samajwadi Party (SP) - looked set to fall short of an absolute majority, and soit may seek a coalition with Congress to rule the state.
Gandhi on Tuesday accepted responsibility for the Congress party's poor results in the polls, saying: "I stood in front, so it is my responsibility.
"Organisationally we are not where we should be in UP (Uttar Pradesh state) ... I think it will be a very good lesson for me, because I think it will make me think about things in a detailed way," he told reporters in New Delhi.
Crucial test
Congress is looking to either take or return to power in four other states, namely northwestern farming heartland Punjab, the holiday playground of Goa, mountainous Uttarakhand, and northeastern Manipur.
A victory in Manipur, where Congress is historically dominant, looks almost certain, but the polls in the other three states are seen as too close to call.
The results come at a crucial time for 79-year-old Prime Minister Singh, who has been assailed by critics for his hands-off leadership style and his management of corruption scandals.
Gandhi, who is an elected national lawmaker from Uttar Pradesh, has pitched himself to the voting masses as a man who understands their everyday problems of corruption, unemployment and caste discrimination.
He says he wants to bring development and better governance to notoriously corrupt and economically deprived Uttar Pradesh, which has a population larger than Brazil.
Congress spokesman Abhishek Manu Singhvi defended Gandhi's electioneering despite the disappointing results.
"Not even Rahul Gandhi's worst enemies, political or otherwise, suggest that his leadership was lacking. He wasoutstanding," he said.
"He's gone to every nook and corner, he's provided the spirit, the euphoria, the leadership - if it doesn't translate, then it doesn't translate."
Narayanan Madhavan, assistant editor of India's Hindustan Times newspaper told Al Jazeera "the fact is very simply that hard work has not paid off for Rahul Gandhi," especially given the fact that Uttar Pradesh is of symbolic importance to the Gandhi family.
Madhavan said the results were "certainly a setback" for the party, adding that "the charisma, the famous charisma of the Nehru-Gandhi family seems to be on the wane, much like family jewels being sold off and the family becoming poorer. In this case, the goodwill of the family is in question".
The elections in the five states were held in stages over the last five weeks, beginning on January 28 in Manipur and finishing at the weekend in Uttar Pradesh and Goa.

The Oil had better hope for a high-flying shootout with the Bruins on Thursday night.
The Bruins have won three in a row, while missing six core players from their lineup. The Oilers are trying to wrap up a five-game home stretch at Rexall Place at 3-1-1 as they dig out from their giant standings hole. Taylor Hall has five goals and seven points in his past three games for Edmonton, and the Oilers offensive boasts the kind of speed and skill combination that's given this year's Bruins team fits of bad hockey this season.
Hall and Jordan Eberle are the kind of players that could really expose an older, slower Bruins defensemen corps.
It will be an interesting matchup of strength vs. skill with the Oilers boasting most of their lineup's pieces, and the Bruins seemingly due for a clunker after playing reasonably well vs. Toronto and Calgary through adversity.
"I'm one of those guys that still think it's going to be a matter of time [with Edmonton]. We're just waiting for them to explode," said B's coach Claude Julien. "We're not good enough right now to start looking at the standings, and decide how we're going to play with our effort. We need to be ready to play, and come with that kind of effort."
The Oilers would be second-to-last in either one of the Eastern Conference divisions given their 25 points this season, so it might be easy to overlook them heading into the game. It will be up to Julien and the remaining healthy core players to make sure that doesn't happen.
PLAYER NEEDING HIS TIRED PUMPED: Brad Marchand had a few steps in the right direction, but he's got one assist along with five shots on goal in four games in December. The line is clearly in flux with Loui Eriksson pushed out of the lineup with his second concussion in the past two months, and that's part of the problem. Another issue was the James Neal knee to the head of Marchand last weekend, although it seems that the winger was completely fine in the aftermath. Still, Marchand has also been incredibly inconsistent, and is now disappearing a bit at the beginning of December in an up-and-down season.
DRESSING ROOM MANTRA HEADED INTO THE GAME: "If you lose respect for any team because of their record, then you're in the wrong business. There's a lot of talent here, and you've probably heard every coach in the league say the same thing. We have enough of our struggles to make sure we're to play a team that has a lot of speed, a lot of skill and a lot of talent." –Julien, paying respects for the Edmonton Oilers.
KEY MATCHUP: The Oilers are 29th in the NHL while allowing 3.4 goals per game, so it should be a bountiful night for the Black and Gold's offensive players. Those of them that still boast good health, anyway. The David Krejci-Milan Lucic-Jarome Iginla line has goals in each of the past three games, and is heating up in December after an ice cold November. The B's need a big effort from that line, with so many other bodies banged up or missing, and that should continue against Edmonton's suspect defense and goaltending.
STAT TO WATCH: 2-1-1 – the Oilers' record on a five-game homestand that concludes against the Bruins on Thursday night. This has a chance to be an extremely good home stretch for the Oil with an Edmonton victory.
INJURIES: Dougie Hamilton (lower body) and Daniel Paille (upper body injury) were out for Tuesday night against Calgary. Chris Kelly (fractured right fibula), Loui Eriksson (concussion) and Adam McQuaid (groin) are on injured reserve, and also out for the Bruins. Tuukka Rask was fighting the effects of the flu on Wednesday, and there's some question as to whether he'll play on Thursday night.
Oilers defenseman Jeff Petry (head) is back in the lineup, but center Boyd Gordon (shoulder) is questionable. Left wing Ryan Smyth (neck) and goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov (neck) are out indefinitely with their injuries.
GOALTENDING MATCHUP: Rask was back in the saddle against Calgary, where he kept the Bruins in the game for the first 40 minutes until they turned it on for the third period. Rask actually played in place of Chad Johnson, who was scheduled to play his first back-to-back games of the season before the flu knocked him out Tuesday night. Now Rask is battling flu symptoms, and is a question mark Thursday night.
One would expect to see Devan Dubnyk manning the pipes for the Oil given the injury to Ilya Bryzgalov, and Dubnyk has struggled with a 3.27 goals-against average and .892 save percentage this season.

The two companies have bolstered a relationship that began last year, when Ask.com tested an SMS-based Q&A-styled trivia game at three Six Flags locations to assess consumer demand for in-park mobile interaction. During an October trial, Ask.com saw 9 percent of those using its iPhone app at Six Flags play the trivia game while trying to win a move to the front of the line. Sixty percent played the game at least twice, and they collectively sent 90,000 text messages.
Digital and traditional signage around the parks helped push the usage. Indeed, Ask.com was the advertiser while Six Flags was the platform.
Speaking with ClickZ News, Doug Leeds, CEO for Oakland, CA-based Ask.com, suggested his company is gearing up its mobile marketing efforts.
"Mobile opens up doors to newer ad models," he said. "While the Six Flags campaign is an example of [us] tapping the Six Flags platform as a means to test new features, drive downloads and engagement, it also indicates a new way [we] can bring value to advertisers through a location-aware model that ties together location-specific Q&A with timely sponsored answers and offers."
Ask.com released the second version of its iPhone app on May 19 to get ready for a bigger campaign that runs through Labor Day. The initiative will involve 10 Six Flags in major markets and will include frequent ads on digital in-park screens that encourage patrons to play an Ask.com-branded "Skip the Line" game on their iPhone. Players can earn points and win jumps in line at the amusement park if they answer trivia questions correctly.
The GPS-enabled app detects when users come within a two-mile radius of a Six Flags and alerts them of the amusement park location. According to Ask.com, the app has averaged 260,000 monthly unique users.
Leeds said, "With more than half of Six Flags guests being smart phone users, the in-app game builds on the early test with a location-aware launch trigger…and with new features like a player scoreboard and the ability to post scores on Facebook."
Meanwhile, Six Flags has also been orchestrating campaigns with the likes of Dodge, Jeep, Cadbury, and VH1. The Grand Prairie, TX-based amusement park has worked with the brands to utilize potential impressions as attendees experience "dwell time," or standing in lines for Ferris Wheel rides and other activities.
