News: Cedric Paquette (leg) is a game-time decision for Monday's game against Montreal, NHL.com reports. Analysis: There was plenty of Lightning injury news on Monday, with defensemen Jason Garrison and Andrej Sustr slated to miss time and center Tyler Johnson ruled out for Monday night's contest. Look for a further update on Cedric Paquette's status for the game to arrive during pre-game warmups.
News: Jason Garrison will miss 3-4 weeks due to an upper-body injury, NHL.com reports. Analysis: Such a timetable effectively rules Jason Garrison (who has 30 points in 70 games to date) out for the remainder of the regular season, further taxing a Tampa Bay blue line that will also be without Andrej Sustr for 1-2 weeks.
News: Tyler Johnson (upper body) will miss Monday's game against the Canadiens, NHL.com reports. Analysis: Coach Jon Cooper relayed Monday that Tyler Johnson -- who has recorded 67 points in 74 games to date -- is day-to-day in advance of Tuesday's game against the Maple Leafs.
News: Andrej Sustr (upper body) will be out one-to-two weeks, Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune reports. Analysis: With Andrej Sustr -- who has 13 helpers in 73 games -- sidelined, the Lightning have bolstered their blue line depth by recalling Luke Witkowski from AHL Syracuse.
News: Alexander Steen (lower body) won't play Monday against the Canucks, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Analysis: With Alexander Steen considered day-to-day and out Monday, Olli Jokinen is on track to re-join the Blues' forward mix Monday night.
News: T.J. Oshie (illness) is on track to play Monday against the Canucks, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Analysis: T.J. Oshie, who missed Saturday's game against the Blue Jackets, checks back into the Blues' lineup with 19 goals and 51 points in in 66 games to date.
News: Though Erik Johnson (knee) hasn't been ruled out for Monday's game against the Oilers, Terry Frei of the Denver Post suggests that the blueliner is more likely to return to the lineup at some point during the Avs' upcoming three-game road trip, which starts Wednesday at San Jose. Analysis: Erik Johnson, who had arthroscopic knee surgery on Jan. 26, last suited up on Jan. 21. Prior to sustaining his knee injury, Johnson had recorded 23 points and 33 PIM in 47 games for the Avs.
News: Semyon Varlamov is slated to start Monday's game against the Oilers, Terry Frei of the Denver Post reports. Analysis: Semyon Varlamov, who stopped 35 of 38 shots in Saturday's win over the Sabres, will look to rebound Monday from last Wednesday's rough outing against the Oilers, in which he was pulled after giving up three goals on seven shots. Beyond Monday, coach Patrick Roy indicated that the Avs plan to turn to Reto Berra on Wednesday at San Jose.
News: William Karlsson was reassigned to AHL Springfield on Monday. Analysis: William Karlsson registered a goal and an assist along with a plus-2 rating in three games after joining the being recalled Mar. 23. He will head back to the minors, likely indicating one of the injured forwards could be available Tuesday against the Devils.
News: Ben Bishop is slated to start Monday's game against Montreal, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Analysis: Ben Bishop will look to bounce back Monday on the heels of back-to-back losses in which he has allowed six goals in 86:08 worth of ice time. Meanwhile, the Habs -- who lead the Eastern Conference with 102 points -- snapped a two-game slide with Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Panthers.

A new Pete Rose book is on its way, but it costs how much to talk to Pete?
- Steve Watkins
- Staff Reporter- Cincinnati Business Courier
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
Do we need another Pete Rose book? Kostya Kennedy, a prominent Sports Illustrated writer, seems to think so.
His "Pete Rose: An American Dilemma" takes what appears to be a balanced look at Charlie Hustle's legacy.
Sure, the Cincinnati native and longtime Cincinnati Reds star is Major League Baseball's all-time leading hitter, with 4,256 hits. But he was suspended for life from MLB in 1989 for betting on baseball. But after baseball's steroid era, maybe Pete's gambling tendencies don't seem so bad.
There's no doubt Pete Rose is a complex character with a complex legacy. That's what Kennedy explores in his book, which is due for release by Time Home Entertainment Inc. on March 11.
Kennedy told me his publicists don't want him to talk about the book before its release date.
But the most surprising thing happened when I tried to talk to Pete. I emailed his publicists to find out if I could talk to him for a few minutes to get his thoughts.
"Interviews for Pete regarding this and similar topics are $500 each for up to 10 minutes in length," Mike Maguire wrote me in an email.
Wow! Not only does the Courier not pay for interviews, but 500 bucks for 10 minutes seems outrageous even by Pete's standards. I guess he doesn't want to say much about the book.
Nevertheless, it doesn't sound like Kennedy attacks Rose.
"Even now, 25 years into his exile, he remains a figure who stirs uncommon passion, righteousness, indignation," Kennedy wrote.
Kirkus Reviews, a highly respected New York-based book reviewer, had this to say: "Were this book just a biography of 'Charlie Hustle,' it would be a fine one. But more importantly, Kennedy explores not only Rose's life and career and his ignominious fall from glory, but also the complexities and conundrums surrounding his ineligibility and his character. Rose's detractors and supporters alike will find evidence here to both confirm and challenge their biases. … Rose may not deserve as nuanced a biographer as Kennedy, but baseball fans certainly do. A remarkable book about a fascinating, vexing figure."

Windham man charged in Salem car theft
Salem police arrested William Szafran, 26, shortly before noon on Thursday.
According to Deputy Chief Shawn Patten, police responded to reports of a vehicle stolen on Royal Circle earlier that day. While the officer was speaking with the vehicle's owner, the unidentified woman told police the car was being driven up the street as they were standing on the porch.
The vehicle was located in a nearby driveway before Szafran got out of the car and began running through backyards, ignoring officers' orders to stop.
Salem dog units tracked Szafran through the area and apprehended him on Alta Avenue. Szafran, who had an active electronic bench warrant at the time of his arrest, faces new charges of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, driving after suspension and resisting arrest.
He was released on $500 cash bail and awaits his court hearing. A date for the hearing has not been set.

Pain reduction: Sustained improvement at Week 48 compared to baseline was demonstrated (p<0.0001) in the mean Composite Pelvic Signs and Symptoms Score (CPSSS) such that many subjects would no longer qualify for enrollment (a requirement of CPSSS greater than or equal to 6 at Screening). The findings were nearly identical when comparing the ITT population (n=252 randomized) and the "completers" (n=131 subjects who completed the no-treatment out to Week 48) providing confirmation of the robust nature of this improvement. The "responder rate" on the dysmenorrhea component of the CPSSS at Week 24 was 77% and at Week 48 was 64% based on the definition of an improvement of greater than or equal to 1 point (elagolix 150 mg qd). As menstruation returned following discontinuation of elagolix, dysmenorrhea symptoms become more common but did not reach baseline severity. At Week 48 the mean scores for all treatment groups remained improved (p<0.0001) and are comparable among treatment groups. The "responder rate" on the Non-Menstrual Pelvic Pain component of the CPSSS at Week 24 was 86% and at Week 48 was 67% based on the definition of an improvement of greater than or equal to 1. The mean scores for the treatment groups also did not return to baseline severity after discontinuation of treatment and remained statistically significantly improved at Week 48 (p<0.0001) (elagolix 150 mg qd).

Home Literacy Practices in Diverse Families: Parental Involvement in Kindergarten Children's Literacy Development
Date: May 2013
Creator: Gonzalez, Lauren
Description: Although prior research has shown that parental involvement positively affects a child's literacy development, attention should also be directed to the factors that keep parents from being involved in their children's education. The study reported in this dissertation examined five factors: socioeconomic status, level of education, employment, culture, and language that may be influential in parental assistance of their children's literacy development in the home. The data sources for this investigation included interview responses and a demographic survey. Data from 17 parents, each from a different household, and each with a child in kindergarten were obtained and used for the study. For analyses of these data, content analysis was used to identify similar themes among the interview responses and the demographic survey. Results indicated the following: (1) the time parents spent assisting their child with literacy activities was affected by long work hours, (2) parents with a yearly income of $25,000 or less were unable to provide additional literacy materials for their children, (3) lack of multicultural literature caused culturally diverse parents to feel devalued, and (4) parents who did not speak English fluently lacked the strategies to assist their children in completing English literacy homework. The findings suggest there ...

Effects of a Brain Improvement Program on Students' Reading Achievement
Date: May 2013
Creator: Sánchez, Edelmira
Description: How to close the reading achievement gap among K-12 students is an ongoing emphasis for educators in the 21st century. The purpose of the study was to determine if using kinesthetic movements from the Brain Gym® program improved the reading achievement of Grade 3 Hispanic and African American students. Students from four elementary schools participated in the study. The students in the control and experimental groups completed a 2004 release TAKS third grade reading assessment for the pretest and posttest. Students in the experimental group completed five selected kinesthetic movements from the Brain Gym® program five minutes at the beginning of each Monday through Friday school day. The intervention lasted 30 days and a total of 150 minutes. Data were analyzed using a 2 x 2 mixed between-within subjects analysis of variance. Findings revealed that performing the five kinesthetic movements from the Brain Gym® program did not increase students' reading achievement scores. Only the variable of time between pretest and posttest affected students' reading scores. The results from this study did not support the findings of other studies of the effectiveness of kinesthetic movements.

The Disney Influence on Kindergarten Girls' Body Image
Date: May 2013
Creator: Asawarachan, Tanawan
Description: Media is now a part of the early childhood world. In many countries, including industrialized and developing countries, children spend more time consuming various kinds of media. The impact of media on children's perception of their body images has been and continues to be a concern of parents and early childhood professionals. This research examined the influence of Disney movies on Thai kindergarten girls' body images and self-esteem. Thai kindergarten girls completed three measures of body self-image: the Body Figure Preference Scale, the Body Esteem Scale, and the Self-Esteem Scale. The girl participants were randomly assigned to two groups: focused on a female theme (FFT) and focused on a non-human theme (FNT). The experimental group viewed "female" Disney movie themes, while the control group viewed "animal" Disney movie themes. Girls in the experimental group expressed greater body image dissatisfaction scores after watching Disney movies, which was an expected finding. Results from the present study suggest that girls in both groups become concerned about their body esteem after video exposure. However, there was no significant difference in self-esteem between girls in FFT and FNT. In summary, the findings of this study support the belief that Disney movies influence young girls' perceptions ...

Taiwanese Preschool Teachers' Awareness of Cultural Diversity of New Immigrant Children: Implications for Practice
Date: May 2009
Creator: Ting, Chia-Wei
Description: This study investigated Taiwanese preschool teachers' awareness of cultural diversity of new immigrant children and how this awareness influences their educational practices. In particular, this study focused on the cultural awareness of preschool teachers who work with young Taiwanese children whose mothers are immigrants from Southeast Asia. This study used quantitative and qualitative methods. One hundred seventy-two Taiwanese preschool teachers from the different geographic areas of Taiwan participated in the study. Data were collected through the use of the Cultural Diversity Awareness Inventory (CDAI) survey and participant interviews. Research results of the study revealed: (a) most Taiwanese preschool teachers had an awareness of cultural diversity, but their perceptions of how to create a multicultural environment need to be improved; (b) Taiwanese preschool teachers' personal experiences with children from different cultures were more associated with their cultural awareness than their ages and educational levels; (c) Geographic location was the factor affecting preschool teachers' awareness of cultural diversity and educational practices. This study is informative to the understanding of Taiwanese preschool teachers' awareness of cultural diversity and the implications of this awareness for classroom practice. In addition, multicultural perspectives of the Taiwan society toward immigrant families and children can benefit from the ...

Effectiveness of a Web-based course in facilitating the integration of technology into early childhood curricula.
Date: December 2007
Creator: Graham, Leticia
Description: Although technology is available and used in early childhood classrooms, little is known about what early childhood teachers believe about the use of technology and how technology is integrated into early childhood curricula. This study was designed to (a) determine the beliefs of early childhood teachers about technology integration into early childhood curricula and (b) describe the extent to which early childhood teachers integrate technology in their early childhood curricula. The participants included 39 prekindergarten teachers who volunteered to participate in a technology integration project. The treatment group accessed a Web-based technology integration training program and participated in two classroom observations, along with completing an attitudinal questionnaire pretest and posttest. The Prekindergarten Web-based Technology Integration Training included four modules each expanding the following themes: (a) national and state standards and guidelines for technology; (b) setting up a computer center; (c) integrating technology; (d) using the digital camera. The control group participated in two classroom observations without the benefit of the Web-based technology integration training program and completed the attitudinal questionnaire pretest and posttest. Results indicate that Prekindergarten teachers believe that technology can enhance a child's learning, but there was no statistically significant difference between the control and the treatment group.

A survey study of entry transition practices used by teachers of infants and toddlers.
Date: December 2004
Creator: Fernandez, Mary Elizabeth Poteet
Description: This study identified transition practices used by teachers and/or primary caregivers of infants and toddlers when entering child care programs across Dallas , TX . Participants completed the Program Entry Transition Practices Survey regarding their use of transition practices in fall 2003 and perceived barriers to entry transition practices. Results show frequency tallies, percentages of use for each transition practice, and the mean number of practices used for the entire sample and with the sample split according to participants from profit and non-profit programs. Results were also organized into four subscales based on the type of practice used. Results supported the hypothesis that teachers and caregivers would report more transition practices occurring after beginning care and directed towards a group than those occurring before beginning care and directed towards an individual. In response to the broader research question regarding barriers: Teachers and caregivers from profit and non-profit centers reported similar barriers to implementing transition practices.

Patterns of verbal communication in children with special needs.
Date: May 2006
Creator: Conde, Joann M.
Description: The social interactions between children with special needs, learning disabilities and/or attention deficit disorder (ADHD), were investigated. The children were observed in groups of three/four while creating a cooperative art project. During this activity, their interactions were recorded and coded for patterns of verbal communication. Verbal communication was evaluated through statements reflecting requests for information and materials; helping/cooperation/giving; consideration/positive reinforcement; competitiveness; intrusiveness; rejection; self-image; neutral statements; and persuasiveness. Results indicated that children with special needs tended to engage in a greater frequency of helping/cooperative/giving statements as opposed to any other verbal statements. Specifically, positive statements as opposed to negative statements classified their verbal interactions. These children also appeared to demonstrate more internalizing behaviors than externalizing behaviors. The influence of children's behaviors on children's verbal statements was examined. Results indicated that children who evidenced a disability in reading or language appeared to engage in a greater frequency of cooperative or helping statements than their non-disabled peers. Intrusive tendencies may be associated with the following: presence of a reading disability, absence of ADHD, and absence of a disability in written expression. Additionally, the conversations of children with a disability in mixed receptive language tended to evidence a greater frequency of neutral statements ...

Development of a proposed toddler caregiver training program for South Korea.
Date: May 2009
Creator: Kim, So-Yeon
Description: Based on the survey results of 150 South Korea toddler caregivers about training needs, I developed a relationship-based approach for a toddler caregiver training program. The training program was modified using suggestions provided by 6 South Korean professors, who were asked to review the program. Survey findings revealed that: (a) All participants (toddler caregivers) perceived that it is necessary for caregivers to attend training. However, most (72.2%) found that it was difficult to attend training programs more than 1 time per year because it was hard to find a substitute teacher (64%). Participants desired to attend training programs on toddler care because of the lack of in-service education (26%), curriculum (24%), and training programs (15.3%); (b) Caregivers who had the third-degree caregiver certification preferred to learn parent education more than child development. However, caregivers who had a higher degree of caregiver certification preferred to learn child development more than parent education; and (c) Caregivers who had more than 5 years of teaching experience preferred to learn about the teacher's role more than caregivers who had fewer than 4 years of teaching experience. Future studies need to evaluate the effect of this relationship-based training program for toddler caregivers in relation to ...

Predictors of Successful Aging: Associations between Social Network Patterns, Life Satisfaction, Depression, Subjective Health, and Leisure Time Activity for Older Adults in India
Date: August 2007
Creator: Varshney, Swati
Description: Aging in the new millennium is greatly influenced by both global and region-specific factors. In Asia, the aged population is increasing at a faster rate than both Europe and North America, making issues related to older adults needing immediate attention of researchers & planners. This study aims at identifying the predictors of successful aging. Successful aging as a construct often has an integration of good social engagement, sense of purpose in life, maintaining cognitive capacity and functional autonomy. One hundred fifty participants in India completed the Life Satisfaction Questionnaire, Geriatric Depression Scale, Health Awareness Schedule, and the Leisure Time Activity Record. Firstly, it is mainly evident that social support network is larger for older adults residing in a joint family as compared to a nuclear family setup. Further, married males in a joint family have the largest network size compared to all the other groups. The study however, reveals an interesting reverse trend of widowed females having a larger network size compared to widowed males. Statistical analysis found measures of successful aging to be highly correlated with each other, with subjective health and depression being significant predictors of life satisfaction. Further, life satisfaction, depression levels, and leisure time activities were ...

Preschool Mathematics: An Examination of One Program's Alignment with Recommendations from NAEYC and NCTM
Date: December 2010
Creator: Johnston, Elisabeth
Description: The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which a preschool program followed the recommendations outlined by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) in their joint position statement "Early Childhood Mathematics: Promoting Good Beginnings." Six teachers were randomly selected from three of the preschool program's six locations that are situated in an urban city in North Texas. Two parts of this program's approach to mathematics were investigated: the teachers' instructional practices and the program's curricular materials. Data came from observations using the Classroom Observation of Early Mathematics-Environment and Teaching (COEMET) protocol and field notes. Each teacher participated in three interviews over the course of this research. Analyses of these sources provided insights into teachers' instructional practices for mathematics. Reviews of curricular documents and lesson plans for mathematics instruction provided information pertaining to the math curriculum used at this preschool program. All of these data sources were analyzed using the framework presented in NAEYC and NCTM's position statement. Analysis of the data indicated that, although teachers did not have any knowledge of these guidelines, teachers followed some of these recommendations; such as presenting children with ...

Today is a day like no other in Japan as the country remembered the 9.0 magnitude earthquake and devastating tsunami on March 11, 2011 that left 15,881 dead and 2,668 still missing.
The nation observed a moment of silence at 14:46 (05:46 GMT), the exact time the earthquake struck off along the northeastern coast. It was Japan's strongest recorded earthquake in history.
But unlike other past incidents where people may have been expected to have moved on, the Japanese remained anxious as the 2011 disaster could actually just be the start of bigger and equally destructing earthquakes to come.
The University of Tokyo's Earthquake Research Institute in January 2012 had forecast Tokyo will again face the wrath of a 7.0-magnitude or higher quake by 2016. If it does occur, the death toll could ring in at up to 11,000 people and $1 trillion worth in damages to the world's third-largest economy.
The March 2011 not only gave off a frightening earthquake of such magnitude. It also led to a killer tsunami that not only destroyed coastal communities but also pounded on the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. The impact was so great that it resulted to meltdowns and explosions, the worst since the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident.
At the time it was happening two years ago, the Gravity Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE), a super-sensitive satellite owned by the European Space Agency, was able to detect the sounds the earthquake registered on land.
"The atmospheric infrasounds following the great Tohoku earthquake ... induced variations of air density and vertical acceleration of the GOCE platform," a report published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters said. It noted that the magnitude 9.0 tremor "sent shock waves through the atmosphere" which the satellite picked up.
Two years after, Japan still feels the effects of the accidents, what with 315,196 people still displaced and without permanent homes, living in cramped temporary housing units.
"Unless spring comes to the Tohoku region, a real spring won't come to Japan. We are determined to accelerate reconstruction work," Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said in video posted on YouTube Monday. The Tohoku region is Japan's northern region greatly devastated by the disaster.

Symbioses shape all levels of biological organization. Although symbiotic interactions are typically viewed as bipartite associations, with two organisms interacting largely in isolation from other organisms, the presence and importance of additional symbionts is becoming increasingly more apparent. This study examines the importance of a third mutualist within the ancient symbiosis between leaf-cutting ants and their fungal cultivars. Specifically, we experimentally examine the role of a filamentous bacterium (actinomycete), which is typically carried on the cuticle of fungus-growing ants, in suppressing the growth of a specialized microfungal parasite (Escovopsis) of the fungus garden. We conducted two-by-two factorial design experiments crossing the presence/absence of actinomycete with the presence/absence of Escovopsis within small sub-colonies of Acromyrmex octospinosus. In these experiments, infection by Escovopsis became much more extensive within fungus gardens and had a greater impact on the health of gardens in those sub-colonies with the bacterium removed from workers as compared to gardens with the bacterium still present on the ants. We establish that the actinomycete bacterium is most abundant on those major workers tending the garden, providing further support that the bacterium is involved in garden hygiene. We also found a significantly higher abundance of actinomycete on workers in colonies experimentally infected with Escovopsis as compared to uninfected control colonies. We suggest that mutualisms between antibiotic-producing microbes and higher organisms may be common associations that are mostly overlooked and that the role of symbionts in reducing the impact of parasites is likely an important aspect in the cost-benefit assessment of mutualisms.

State aid: Commission approves restructuring aid for LOT Polish Airlines
The European Commission has concluded that restructuring aid of PLN 804 million (around €200 million), which Poland plans to grant to its national flag carrier LOT, is in line with EU state aid rules. The Commission found, in particular, that LOT's restructuring plan will allow the company to become viable in the long-term without unduly distorting competition in the Single Market.
Commission Vice President in charge of competition policy Joaquín Almunia said: "LOT has prepared a credible restructuring plan that should make it a viable company in the near future. At the same time, it gives up some profitable routes and slots at several congested airports, which creates opportunities for its competitors and reduces the competition distortions brought about by the aid."
LOT has been in financial difficulties for several years, reporting significant losses and negative equity. In May 2013, the Commission approved temporarily a €100 million rescue loan, upon the commitment of Poland to notify a restructuring plan capable of ensuring the long-term viability of the firm (see IP/13/431). In June 2013 Poland notified the restructuring plan to the Commission. The plan provides for a €200 million capital increase intended to help LOT finance the restructuring. The Commission opened an in-depth investigation in November 2013 (see IP/13/1045) to assess its compatibility with the requirements of the 2004 guidelines on state aid for the rescue and restructuring of companies in difficulty (see MEMO/04/172).
The investigation revealed that the restructuring plan, which aims at restoring LOT's viability by 2015, is based on realistic assumptions and should enable the company to return to long-term viability within a reasonable timeframe. LOT's actual financial results in 2013 were already better than expected and the company reported a net profit for the first time since 2007. The proposed capacity reduction, which includes a withdrawal from some profitable routes and return of several airport slots, will limit the distortions of competition brought about by the aid. Finally, LOT's own contribution to the costs of restructuring, provided in the form of a finance lease obtained on market terms, covers more than 50% of these costs, and thus even exceeds the level required in the guidelines.
The Commission has also examined information received from third parties who claimed that LOT had already received state aid in the form of deferred airport charges by Polish state-owned airports. Moreover, the Commission has examined other transactions which allegedly involved state aid, including the sale of real estate and of subsidiaries, the provision of several loans from public and private companies and the purchase of fuel. If these allegations had proved true, LOT would have breached the so called "one time, last time" principle according to which a firm can receive restructuring aid only once over a period of 10 years. The Commission found that none of these measures involved state aid within the meaning of EU rules, as they either involved no state resources or were carried out on market terms and thus did not confer any undue economic advantage to LOT.
The Commission therefore concluded that the planned restructuring aid complies with the conditions set out in the guidelines.
LOT is a state-owned company, employing approximately 1 660 people and operating a fleet of 47 planes. It has reported losses in every financial year since 2008 (except from 2013) and faced increasing liquidity problems as the sources of funding used so far (e.g. the sale of subsidiaries) have been exhausted. In November 2012, the Commission concluded that the sale of three of LOT's subsidiaries to state-owned entities did not involve state aid (see IP/12/1243). Previous restructuring attempts undertaken in 2009-2012 had not been successful. The financial difficulties culminated in December 2012 when LOT was forced to ask for rescue aid in order to avoid bankruptcy.
Aid granted to companies in difficulty is highly distortive of competition as it artificially keeps a company in the market that would otherwise have left it. It can therefore only be granted under strict conditions.
The Commission's guidelines on rescue and restructuring aid for companies in difficulty (see MEMO/04/172) require, in particular, that beneficiaries work out a sound restructuring plan that enables them to become viable in the long-term on the basis of realistic assumptions. This is to avoid that a company that cannot become viable again keeps asking for public support. The plan must provide for measures to reduce the distortions of competition induced by the state support, such as the reduction of capacity or market share. Furthermore, the beneficiary needs to make a significant own contribution to the costs of restructuring. Finally, rescue and/or restructuring aid may be granted only once over a 10-year period ('one time, last time' principle).
Public interventions in companies that carry out economic activities can be considered free of state aid within the meaning of the EU rules when they are made on terms that a private player operating under market conditions would have accepted (the so-called "market economy investor principle" – MEIP).
On 9 July 2014, the Commission has finalised its in-depth investigations for SAS Scandinavian Airlines (see IP/14/797), Adria Airways (see IP/14/788) and airBaltic (see IP/14/789). Previously, the Commission adopted decisions concerning the restructuring of Air Malta (see IP/12/702) and Czech Airlines (see IP/12/981). See also policy brief on the Commission's policy concerning state aid granted to airlines in difficulty.
The non-confidential version of the decision will be made available under the case number SA.36874 in the State Aid Register on the DG Competition website once any confidentiality issues have been resolved. New publications of state aid decisions on the internet and in the Official Journal are listed in the State Aid Weekly e-News.

Irregular tire wear is usually a symptom of some other malfunction such as poor alignment, improper inflation or even poor driving habits. The peril with mechanically induced irregular wear is that it begins the day you install the tire, though it won't produce any visible signs until weeks or perhaps months later. By then, its progress is almost irreversible.

"The destination calls back again"
- Posted Oct 7, 2014
Srisailam is just an awesome place for all those who love nature. There were many places to see like Akkamaha devi caves, the road on which we travelled, rope way and the srisailam dam. I just loved the trip, and now I decided to go again to the same destination.More » « Less

Overall a very good experience. Wearing a dhoti is a must if you are offering special darshan. September, post Ganpati is a very good time to visit. There are special lines for darshan. Do not forget to take the big ladoo costing Rs. 40. Visit Patalganga via the rope way or trek downwards to reach the Krishna river. Amazing scenery around the Krishna river. There are Akka Mahadevi caves which is approximately 18 kms from the temple or 4 hour boat ride from Patalganga... On our way back we went to Mantralayam which is 40 kms from Raichur on the banks of the Tungabhadra river. Again a must visit place.More » « Less

"We had a comfortable darshan"
- Posted Jun 28, 2014
Overall, though it was a mahasivarathri day, we had a comfortable stay and darshan. There was heavy rush on the roads, and heavy traffic on the way to Srisailam. If you wish to have good darshan of the lord comfortably, this is not the right day. Go on any other day, to have a pleasant and peaceful darshan of the lord, whereby you can concentrate your mind on the lord, and have full satisfaction of having visited the lord.More » « Less

The visit to Srisailam was a pleasant experience. The journey was uneventful. Srisailam is a neat and tidy place when compared to similar tourist destinations in North India. Besides the Mallikarjun temple, there are many smaller temples around which can be fitted in a religious trip. In addition, Srisailam Dam also provides a picturesque sight, from a tourist point of view.More » « Less

The Mallikarjun Sadan hotel where we stayed was also new and good. The restaurant where we had breakfast, opposite Mallikarjun Sadan, was not very good. It could be kept more neatly and the service could be better [with staff well groomed and in uniform]. The food items tasted good, though.
The road from Hyderabad airport to Srisailam was excellent. We could cover the 200 KM distance in 4 hours, in spite of the ghat section.

Just looks extraordinary when the dam gates are open. There are a total of 12 gates and when all the gate are open to the fullest.The entire diameter of about 20kms will get drizzled. A must visit, be it for families, bachelors, couples, teams. A great outing and one can cover the entire place in just a day or twoMore » « Less
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: You would find only vegetarian food within Srisailam. 9kms away from Srisailam there is one restaurant which provides both veg and non-veg. Need some liquor, find it here. Anything before you enter 9kms mile stone.
Activities & things to do: Rope way, temple, boating, dam, mallella theertham.
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: If you are starting from Hyderabad and are self driving, make sure you reach 75km milestone to Srisailam before 6pm. You are not allowed to cross the point after sundown as after that till Srisailam the entire ghat road is a thick dense forest and wild animals like tiger, cheetah, lion, wild boar, deers etc would be crossing the road. It's a great road to drive.

Srisailam is approx 230kms from Secunderabad. It is famous for Mallikarjuna Temple which is one of the sacred places for Shivji Jyotirlingam.More » « Less
Srisailam is also famous for its forest reserves, pathalganga, and many other temples. It is a breath taking journey for people who love nature and for the ones coming for religious purpose. The Mallikarjuna Temple itself is a must visit.
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Local food mainly idli, vada, dosa at very nominal prices say Rs.14 for a plate of idli, Rs.18 for a plate of vada, Rs.20 for a dosa. Since the base camp of the journey is Hyderabad, you can not miss the famous Hyderabadi Biryani which comes for Rs.130 and one plate is sufficient for 3 people.
Activities & things to do: Visit Paradise Circle when in Hyderabad, on the way to Srisailam from Hyderabad you will visit Phaldhaara Panchdhaara, Sakshi Ganpati Temple, Pathalganga, Mallikarjuna Temple, Tribal Museum, Shikhar Darshan.
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: We got down at Secunderabad junction from Delhi and had our 2 day package booked online on the site of Andhra Pradesh Tourism. Trust me the package was really worth the money. We paid Rs.1350 per person for 2 day package that included t/fro transportation by non ac bus, accommodation, dinner, breakfast, sightseeing and services of a guide. The hotel & food was awesome. The bus started from AP tourism office at Yatriniwas in Secunderabad and dropped us back the same day.

Three well-known journalists in Chennai mull over the changing trends in journalism and share some stories from their time in the industry. As told to Madhumitha Srinivasan and Nileena M.S.
The questions we asked them
How they look at the changes in journalism over the years?
Their take on current trends and evolving practices in journalism?
How has the industry faced challenges from other media?
Their view on concept of student reporters?
One interesting assignment/person they met in their career?
One journalistic practice/guideline they've stuck to?
Lack of variety in reporting
By and large journalism practices remain the same. Now, greater emphasis is laid on the use of visuals. People think that Page 3 journalism is new, but I would say it has always been there. I started working as a journalist in 1951 and this is my 60th year. There were a lot of women in this field in Sri Lanka then, but that was not the case in India.
Today, there are fewer and fewer exclusive stories and there is a great deal of similarity in the way newspapers cover issues. This is because the reporters are not trying hard enough to explore. We have practically done away with proof reading and subbing and a lot of factual errors creep in. But, nobody questions it even when 1639 is printed as 1939.
The main challenge that the industry faces is to make the publication different from the rest. A lot of space is dedicated for national news, whereas people are more interested in local news. There should be more emphasis on local stories; one or two newspapers have started doing this. The reporters should dig out more information.
When we look at other media, obviously they are going to be the first bare bones. So the challenge is how you present the story. People already know most of the news; you have to think of making it different and interesting. To get the reporters trained this way is another challenge. We need good writing style and grammatical accuracy; we can't depend on spell check.
I am all for student reporters. This is a trend that we should encourage. I started contributing to the children's section of newspapers when I was eight years old.
One of my most memorable assignments was covering the rubber-rice pact between Sri Lanka and China in the 1950s. There was an embargo on rubber import to China because of its support to North Korea, but Sri Lanka signed the pact. We broke the story and ran stories for one week. Those six days shook Sri Lanka. But, 50 years down the line, I wonder if we were right. At that time rice was important for Sri Lanka; if China had not supplied rice, the country would have starved. When we are going for exclusive stories, we should consider all moral sides to it. This is especially important now when the Wikileaks is in the news.
My principles are very simple. State the fact and keep out the comments; comments are for editorials. Even in feature writing, facts are our strength. The role of research is very important. Strictly follow the stylebook. The role of subbing and proofreading should not be undermined.
S. Muthiah is a veteran journalist and the editor and publisher of Madras Musings.
Get the basics right
Disappointed with the new trends. Most entrants are poor in basics. Journalism is not taught; the buzz is Visual Communications, at least in Tamil Nadu.
Most journalists seem to pursue desk-driven reporting and their writing is average. The media is keen to plan specials, pullouts and deals to keep the revenue pie. But things are pretty dirty at the mid and local level of newspapers.
Space for budding journalists is important; they must be encouraged. But they need training in the basics of reporting and writing.
One challenging assignment was an investigative feature on Tamil Nadu as the backyard of the LTTE (Tamil Tigers); how the Tigers had their training, medical assistance, manufacturing, PR and print, arms, transfer, transport all laid out in this state.
Get the facts. Avoid bias. Push the limit. Say 'no thanks' to freebies.
Vincent D' Souza, Editor, Adyar Times/Mylapore Times/ Arcot Road Times.
Young people are doing a good job
Earlier reporting was practised in water-tight compartments; reporters were confined to their beats. But with the advent of television journalism, it is no longer possible to stick to one field alone. For instance, they should know about nuclear reactors, politics, election and even crime at the same time.
A positive trend I have observed is that a lot of young people are coming in to this field and reporting on sensitive issues. I feel they are more articulate and have good networking skills; they accumulate information easily. They build contacts easily and in not much time know about their sources and where to get the right information.
But, I think that they don't have the capacity to hit the road running. The training they receive in colleges is not enough; the courses need to be restructured. Importance should be given to general knowledge and practical training.
They say, "If the T.V. story is the F.I.R, print story is the charge sheet". There is always room for both. T.V might break the news, but a newspaper gives more in-depth and analysed reports. News channels try to bring this in through discussions. Every morning I read four newspapers. I feel restless when newspapers don't come out on holidays. The news media are, thus, interdependent.
Giving space for student reporters is a boon. My tryst with journalism started in Std IX when I sent a letter to the editor of The Hindu and it was published. Most of my letters focused on civic issues. When subsequently action was taken, I realised the power of journalism; of getting my voice heard. Students didn't have a separate platform then, they had to compete with the adults. NXg is a ready-made platform for students and they should make the most of it.
Having worked for NDTV for 14 years, I have done a lot of stories and I can't pinpoint one. But covering politicians in Tami Nadu has always been fascinating; it was a learning curve. Reporting about unsung heroes like 'Traffic Ramaswamy', and credible NGOs gives me goose bumps.
One practice that I have always followed throughout my career is to crosscheck the information before presenting it to the public. Being in the T.V. media there's the urge to break the news immediately, but it is important to never take things at face value.

The idea is to develop a basic telework strategy and then select a small group of employees to give it a trial run. That approach offers a chance to show managers that telework fears are unfounded — or fine-tune the strategy if their fears play out.
A pilot project "is a good opportunity to get managers to support it, if they know it is something that is just being tested out and they are an important part of the process," said Jennifer Carignan, an associate manager of research at the Partnership for Public Service.
But it can't just be for show. Agencies should use the test project to identify and fix problems with technologies or work processes. All stakeholders should be involved, Carignan said: managers, union representatives, information technology employees, human resources staff members and agency leaders.

"The goal is to get everything out on the table and begin working on solutions," she said.
Agency leaders can also use a pilot project to build a business case for telework, which will make it easier to get the investment needed to extend the strategy on a larger scale.
"You ease people's concerns along the way, which makes it easier to adjust and continue growing the pilot," said Cindy Auten, general manager of the Telework Exchange.
When it comes to the initial project, it's better safe than sorry, experts say. For example, the project should have a limited scope and focus on employees who are a good fit for telework.
"We recommend agencies start with small frequencies — maybe even one day a week — and let's just see how it works," Auten said.

It's easy to be impressed with what Kia Motors is doing these days.
I recently spent a week with the 2011 Kia Sportage EX AWD. It's a four-door small SUV that seats five.
There's not much this particular trim doesn't have. The MSRP for the silver/black model I drove was $29,990.
Two options packages totaling $4,500 pushed the price up considerably.
A $1,500 package is the navigation with premium audio. Then there's the $3,000 option Premium package. It's got leather seat trim, heated front seats (with a driver's seat that can also be cooled), push-button start, panoramic sunroof, and heated outside mirrors.
The Sportage has a light feel to it. For example, the doors don't close with the Whoomp! sound of a heavier SUV. It's a tinnier sound on the Kia.
It's comfortable to drive, although the plasticky feel to the interior won't win many awards. But the interior isn't what sells the Kia. It's the amount of vehicle for the money. You'll get around 23 mpg if you drive a combination of local roads and highways. Any by now you're aware of the 10 years/100,000 miles limited power train warranty.
And I'm especially fond of the daytime running lights. Audi has the most eye-catching in today's market, in my opinion, but Kia has notable LED ones as well.
This product of Korea is nimble, and the Sportage was recently rated as a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety. After all, it's got airbags everywhere, plus stability control is standard.
It even was rated as having the highest residual value in its class (61% of MSRP after three years), by ALG, a company that tracks that kind of information.
As with most new vehicles these days, no need to worry about your portable electronics. There's a USB and auxillary audio inputs.
I used to think Americans weren't ready to lay out 30 grand for an automobile from a company perceived at one time as turning out cheap imports. But the Kia reputation has changed.
Kia is a smaller unit of Hyundai, but it's got big plans. It had 10% sales growth in 2009 and it's market share spiked from 2.1 to 2.9. (By comparison, Volkswagen's market share in the U.S. is 2.2.)
The company also isn't standing still. Kia is adding a five-door hatchback version of its popular Forte five-passenger sedan to its lineup.
Are we too complacent about world events, how to protect yourself from tax fraudsters and whats in your mixed drink.
Germanwings flight co-pilot 'deliberately' crashed plane but questions remain, self driving cars are almost here but only for 1 per-centers and Dean Smith willed $200 to each of his former players.

On the road against the Portland Timbers the point for D.C. United was to get at least a point.
Two months into the season D.C. United is a part of the serious conversation in Major League Soccer.
D.C. United is now unbeaten in four matches. It's true United was just moments away from a three-game winning streak, but had to settle for one point and a 1-1 tie with the Crew in Columbus.
By BOBBY BANCROFT
It's D.C. against New York. That says it all. It is cliché, but records have not mattered in this series dating back to the start of Major League Soccer in 1996.

Recent South Carolina Reviews
Great Place to Stay
We have been to Charleston several time and stayed in different hotels. Until I found this on HomeAway I did not even think about a yacht as an option. It was awesome. Joel's yacht was perfect for my wife and me to spend our 25th anniversary. The accommodations were far better than a hotel and we spent mornings and evenings on the bridge taking in the scenery and enjoying the breeze. This experience has changed the way we consider where we stay when we travel When we return to Charleston we will definitely be calling on Joel first before booking a hotel.
The "Dulce Vita" does not disappoint!!
The yacht was very beautiful and well kept. The view of the sunset from the deck was by far the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen! The marina where the yacht is docked is conveniently situated beside a park that has a play area for kids that often has activities going on during the weekends. The owner, Joel LeVine, is very courteous and accommodating. We booked an additional excursion through Joel, that our family thoroughly enjoyed! (We saw lots of dolphins and sights along the shore, including Fort Sumter, and were able to make a stop onto Morris Island to look for shells and other treasures before docking to eat at Shem Creek!) We would highly recommend this yacht to anyone we know! Staying here really enhanced our Charleston experience and created some great memories!
