Former Union and State Ministers of Congress on Friday criticised N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, found no threat from Pavan Kalyan, and strongly felt that the party would be back in the play.
Former Union Ministers M.M. Pallamraju and Panabaka Lakshmi, and former State Minister Anam Ramnarayana Reddy spoke to media here on Friday before leaving for Srikakulam to the launch of party's Bus Yatra, while another Union Minister K. Chiranjeevi did not make any comment as he had already spoke about his younger brother and his party Jana Sena.
Mr. Pallamraju and others said the party's strength was its workers and they were intact, while some leaders had left for their personal benefit. He hoped that the party would see a repetition of the 1978 elections and retain the power.
The party would have as its agenda the good work done by it and the many welfare schemes being implemented, for the elections. The party would also get good leaders for the elections.
Dig at Kiran
Mr. Kiran Reddy was given a lot of support by the Congress considering his family's contribution to the party but he ditched it for his personal gains.
Mr. Kiran Reddy was trying to create a false belief among people that bifurcation process would not take place. But the process would certainly take place and the Congress was fighting to get Seemandhra its due, they said.
Welfare schemes launched by the State government to be on top of the party agenda

It's now 8-1 for Team PNoy
More News from Tetch Torres-Tupas
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines— It's now 8-1 in favor of the Aquino administration's Team PNoy after the Commission on Elections en banc sitting as the National Board of Canvassers (NBOC) proclaimed three winning senatorial candidates running under the administration's slate.
The canvassing board proclaimed Friday night Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV, Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III and Antonio Trillanes IV as the duly elected senators.
Aside from the three, other allies of President Benigno Aquino III already proclaimed by the NBOC are Grace Poe, Loren Legarda, Alan Peter Cayetano, Francis Escudero and Juan Edgardo "Sonny" Angara.
With the 8 senators-elect allies of Aquino, the President is poised to have a strong grip of the Philippine Senate that is vital to shore up support for his efforts.
During the campaign, President Aquino has asked voters to put their confidence in the administration slate to help him carry out the rest of his reform agenda.
The midterm elections last Monday is seen as crucial for the Aquino administration's bold reform agenda and a referendum on his efforts to transform a corrupt political system and an underperforming economy.
The NBOC has decided to again make a partial proclamation with 117 certificates of canvass counted out of 301. With the 117 COCs, there are a total of 35,990,336 voters who actually voted out of 52,695,140 registered voters.

Santa Denier Arrested In Kingston, Ontario
By editor
Good morning. I'm Linda Wertheimer. Kingston, Ontario held its annual Santa Claus parade this past weekend. But Virginia, we are sad to report a Grinch was in attendance. As the Christmas-themed floats cruised down the street, a man began shouting, claiming that Santa Claus does not exist. Apparently, he had gotten into the Christmas spirits instead of the Christmas spirit. He was arrested for public intoxication. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

More than 700 students of various branches of Lilavati Avhad Institute of Engineering and Management, Badlapur (Thane), have landed in a soup with their results held up at the university. The reason: Their institute didn't follow the norms laid down by the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) while admitting students in the first year.
Because the four-year-old institute allegedly didn't abide by rules after repeated reminders, the DTE directed the varsity to withhold results of the students.
The college offers four courses — mechanical (120 seats), electronics (60 seats), electronics (60 seats) and telecom and computer engineering (120 seats). "Though the college claims to have good infrastructure and faculty, in reality it neither has facilities nor approved faculty," claimed advocate Manoj Tekade, who is associated with Prahar, a students' organisation.
The students allege that the college failed to submit their records to the DTE in time, which is mandatory in order to prove that the institute admitted students as per the allocation made by the DTE under the centralised admission process. The DTE then sends the documents to the varsity for the enrolment.
Prahar has escalated the matter to the higher education and home ministries. Its members met higher education secretary Sanjay Kumar demanding strict action against the college officials. We will soon be meeting RR Patil seeking arrest of the college authorities for cheating the students, said Tekade.
Principal RV Kalembevakar and trustee Sandeep Sahare remained unavailable for comment.
Controller of exams Padma Deshmukh said, "The DTE has asked us not to declare the results. However, on Wednesday, it told us that it would have no objection if varsity declared the results. We will now release the results."
FIR against Avhad college for issuing fake mark sheets
On Wednesday, two final-year students filed an FIR against principal RV Kalembevakar, trustee Sandeep Sahare, HoD Narkhede and other trustees of the Lilavati College at Kulgaon police station (Thane rural) for allegedly issuing fake mark sheets to them. A case of cheating, forgery, forgery for purpose of cheating and possessing counterfeit materials has been registered against them
The students, Ambadas Sangoli, 23, and Amit Pathak, 22, were allegedly given a duplicate hall ticket and, subsequently, fake mark sheets in December 2013 for the ATKT exam of first semester, which they took in June 2012 that too after much persuasion
Sangoli told dna, "The mark sheets carry signature of Vilas Shinde as controller of exam of university though Shinde had resigned in 2012. The police are investigating... When we inquired with the varsity, we were told it's all fake."

Type of Surgery
Last updated: 02/17/2009
Skin burns from the defibrillator paddles are the most common complication of defibrillation. Other risks include injury to the heart muscle, abnormal heart rhythms, and blood clots.
Other Information
Defibrillation is the definitive treatment for the life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. Defibrillation consists of delivering a therapeutic dose of electrical energy to the affected heart with a device called a defibrillator. This depolarizes a critical mass of the heart muscle, terminates the arrhythmia, and allows normal sinus rhythm to be reestablished by the body's natural pacemaker, in the sinoatrial node of the heart.
Defibrillators can be external, transvenous, or implanted, depending on the type of device used. Some external units, known as automated external defibrillators (AEDs), automate the diagnosis of treatable rhythms, meaning that lay responders or bystanders are able to use them successfully with little, or in some cases no, training.
Other Information
If you need heart surgery, you don't want a surgeon who only got a C in medical school. The same principle applies in helping people with mental illnesses.

I can deal with a person trolling and making stupid posts if they bring stuff to the table every once in a while (ie: Big). jonjon couldn't do that, so he's gone.
He claimed to have another name so maybe we see him try and come back, maybe not.
Good call JensenS, though it's tough to come right in and are attacked on all fronts (not saying he didn't deserve it) it was pretty clear he had no intentions of changing his posting style and it wouldn't have worked out long term.

The Drunk Game
Try and see how far you can keep the drunk man up.
You just move your mouse left to right (no clicking) to keep him walking in a straight line.
The objective of the game is to keep him walking, without falling over, by using your mouse from left to right or right to left - you can't see your mouse which makes it more difficult. Apparently the record is 82 meters!
Do post your results :)

The most powerful tool that health plans have to limit or channel risk selection is medical underwriting, which allows them to classify risks, price them, and accept, reject, or limit coverage for individuals and groups. The most extreme form of underwriting is to exclude altogether from coverage individuals with certain characteristics, such as HIV infection, and entire categories of employers or occupations, such as hairdressers and lawyers—the latter for higher perceived risk of litigation. Coverage for a preexisting condition can also be barred temporarily or permanently. In addition, premiums for individual and small-group coverage are commonly based on individual risk factors, including both demographic characteristics and health status. Figure 5.1 shows how age and gender can affect premiums (CRS, 1988b). A health plan that does not use medical underwriting makes itself vulnerable to unfavorable risk selection if its competitors do engage in risk rating and similar practices.
Benefit design can crucially affect a health plan's potential for unfavorable or favorable risk selection. The range of relevant design features is broad and includes the types of services, providers, and sites of care cov-

ANAHEIMConsidering the Angels pitching rotation is as healthy as it has been all season, Friday seemed like an odd time to trade for another veteran arm.
But the deal that brought Scott Kazmir to Anaheim for Alex Torres, Matt Sweeney and a player to be named had at least as much to do with 2010 and beyond as it did with the rest of this season.
The Angels are entering an offseason in which they stand to lose John Lackey and Kelvim Escobar. The upcoming free-agent class is thin in starting pitching.
Kazmir, 25, is under contract through at least 2011, and the team inherits a club option for 2012.
"The way the pitching market is out there now, in terms of the players available the next few years, this made a lot of sense for us," General Manager Tony Reagins said. "We get a quality pitcher in the fold right now."
Kazmir is 8-7 with a 5.92 ERA in 20 starts this season, but his best work has come in the past two weeks. He struck out 10 on Wednesday in Toronto, where the Angels had positioned scout Marc Russo. Reagins said Russo clocked Kazmir's final pitch in the seventh inning at 95 mph.
"There have been moments where he's not been 100 percent healthy this year," Reagins said. "If you look at his body of work the last month-and-a-half or two months, he's been much better. He's pitching deeper into games, his velocity's holding up."
The Angels had discussions with Tampa Bay before the July 31 trade deadline. Kazmir cleared waivers, meaning each of the 29 other major-league teams declined to claim him.
The Angels beat the final trade deadline by three days. Players who switch teams after Monday are ineligible for postseason play.
The Angels will owe him about $1 million for the remainder of this year, $8 million for next season and $12 million for 2011. They have a $13.5 million club option for 2012.
In Tampa, the salary dump was being viewed as the team's best chance to keep All-Star left fielder Carl Crawford.
The Angels gave up two players with major-league potential. Torres, 21, was 10-3 with a 2.74 ERA in Class-A Rancho Cucamonga and 3-1 with a 2.77 ERA at Double-A Arkansas.
Sweeney, also 21, was batting .299 with nine home runs for Rancho Cucamonga.
After years of inactivity under General Manager Bill Stoneman, the Angels have been bolder under Reagins. A year ago, the team acquired slugger Mark Teixeira from the Atlanta Braves.
"I was surprised," Kazmir told the St. Petersburg Times. "It's hard to say anything right now. It was odd how the day came about, and now all of a sudden I'm traded."

Samsung Galaxy S3 - Chinese Handwriting Input
What do you think about this video?
Wing Lau: Background of purchase: bought brand new Samsung S3 online at Kogan based
in Hong Kong.
Phone's comes unlocked with Traditional Chinese input as an option in
language input list. However, missing from the video is after launching
SMS then swipe the space bar for 中文 , you have to press and hold the
settings key on left of space bar for a pop up menu then quickly tap on the
A icon (with a little pen) for screen hand writing. Might have to use both
hands 'cause sliding is not quick enough to catch it. It then works
wonderfully as above.
It's taken me a little while to find the switch over.
S3 bought else where might have little discrepancies in the O/S since local
suppliers might not think it's not necessary to include some languages (or
fonts) for that particular market. You have to buy from the right market
for your particular needs.
ciocapic: how do you press enter on chinese smartphone?
kntwing: can i do the phone on s4?can i write english like this in chinese?
Benny Lai: No built-in Chinese in T-Mobile Galaxy S3. Need to download iFlytek input. You can download it from Google store.
Stutz Edward: Thanks u for sharing. Good guide.

NMRA: It can write a few words.
teknodogg: I have GS3 with T-Mobile USA there's not an option for Chinese Traditional or Chinese in the Input languages selection screen =/ any ways to make that possible ?????
yukiscorpio: Worked for me. Thanks!
jenny hu: me either....did you get the tmobile one?
Julian Productions: Thank you soooo much! Now I finally know how to do handwriting on my s3 mini!
MrKhatMan: On the Galaxy S4 tap and hold the microphone button to the left of the space bar, and many options will appear, including the handwriting one.
kemas tham: Hi ribald, NMRA is right. You can write multiple characters at one go rather than one at a time. I have tried it out. See another video on writing multiple characters. Thanks NMRA.
Cheuk Hei Yeung: can't find the chinese one ;(
Jim Du: At&t galaxy does Not allow Chinese input!! Settings on this video are greyed out. I had to return the s3 after three days of searching and go back my iPhone.
NeoLightning: i dont have a chinese option on my phone what should i do to get it
victor khounvisith tse: thanks i now know how to do that because that was hard
SoldierOfUtopia: Anyone know what the song title of this piece is by Kevin MacLeod? I found a uploader on youtube (EricsArchives) who puts up all these Kevin MacLeod songs but they have so many it would be too tedious for me to stumble upon this piece.
Julie Chou: i can't find this on att phone... NO CHINESE D:
theoreo oreo: why i cant turn on the 'Saumsung keyboard'?
wei: Hi, Is there any source that enable me to install chinese writing input for samsung galaxy note N7000?
Khaalid Mawlid: thanks you so mch bro
kemas tham: Depends on the telco that carries it.
kemas tham: Believed the Chinese language option is also depends on the telco that carries it. Some telco may not have the Chinese language option.
s Arshed: how to get chinese language input? i used google pinme,but the receiver called me and asked me about the sms coz the sent message was not in chinese, (strange)..
kemas tham: If there are similar settings for the Samsung Galaxy S3 phone from at&t, then it should work. Regards
Eric Chao: pls tell me tmobile is and if so tell me how to do email me: email@example.com
Georgia Petrou: my s3 does not even have the button to turn on the handwriting.. i can write s memos but i dont see the handwrite icon on the settings while im on sms keyboard.. any advice pls?
TheKingChizzle: No Chinese input bro
ribaldi: Any ability to write a few words instead of just one at a time? Thanks.

Author(s): Zagorin, Perez

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
This book is a concise, readable introduction to the Greek author Thucydides, who is widely regarded as one of the foremost historians of all time.
Why does Thucydides continue to matter today? Perez Zagorin answers this question by examining Thucydides' landmark History of the Peloponnesian War, one of the great classics of Western civilization. This history, Zagorin explains, is far more than a mere chronicle of the conflict between Athens and Sparta, the two superpowers of Greece in the fifth century BCE. It is also a remarkable story of politics, decision-making, the uses of power, and the human and communal experience of war. Zagorin maintains that the work remains of permanent interest because of the exceptional intellect that Thucydides brought to the writing of history, and to the originality, penetration, and the breadth and intensity of vision that inform his narrative.
The first half of Zagorin's book discusses the intellectual and historical background to Thucydides' work and its method, structure, and view of the causes of the war. The following chapters deal with Thucydides' portrayal of the Athenian leader Pericles and his account of some of the main episodes of the war, such as the revolution in Corcyra and the Athenian invasion of Sicily. The book concludes with an insightful discussion of Thucydides as a thinker and philosophic historian.
Designed to introduce both students and general readers to a work that is an essential part of a liberal education, this book seeks to encourage readers to explore Thucydides--one of the world's greatest historians--for themselves.

Other commentators, including Mushtaque Chowdhury (Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee, Dhaka, Bangladesh) and Murugi Murekio (a health reporter in Ethiopia) stressed the crucial role of hunger alleviation. In Ethiopia, said Murekio, "antiretrovirals are free, but mostly women can barely afford a meal a day and so this diminishes their capacity to live healthily with HIV."
Jeffrey Sachs (Director of the United Nations Millennium Project) focused his response on prevention and treatment of malaria: "In tropical Africa, a mass distribution of free long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets to fight malaria accompanied by free access to artemisinin-based combination anti-malaria medicines." But he added that he has "spent years objecting to posing the question this way, since at low cost we could achieve major health advances through more comprehensive approaches."
Many of the responses note the importance of the rich world fulfilling its obligations to the global poor, while other commentators highlighted the empowerment of women ("Theres a saying that when you educate a woman you have educated a whole village," said reporter Rosebell Kagumire in Uganda), promotion of breastfeeding, provision of clean water, and childhood vaccination. Members of poor rural communities in Ayacucho, Peru, talked about the importance of housing, food, family, and social interactionsa view of health promotion that goes far beyond a strictly biomedical approach.

Buyer's Guide: Labor Day Deals on the iPad Air, Retina iPad mini, Apps, and More
There are quite a few deals on Apple products, apps, and accessories this week due to the upcoming Labor Day holiday in the United States. Retailers have discounted the iPad Air, Retina iPad mini, and more, and several app developers are cutting app prices.
While there are few deals on Apple's lineup of Mac products, Apple's own back to school program is still ongoing until September 9, offering EDU customers a gift card with the purchase of a Mac, iPad, or iPhone. Best Buy is also continuing to offer EDU customers $100 off all MacBooks and the iMac.
iPad Air
Staples is offering $30 off all models of the iPad Air for Labor Day weekend, dropping the price of the entry-level 16GB Wi-Fi only model to $469, for example. The company is also offering $100 off select computers that are regularly priced at $499 or more with the coupon code 11605, which applies to all iPads priced over $499, for a total discount of up to $130 on some iPad Air models.
Retina iPad mini
Best Buy is offering $50 off most models of the Retina iPad mini, dropping the price on the Space Gray entry-level 16GB Wi-Fi only version to $349. The discount applies to both Wi-Fi and Cellular models across the board, with almost all versions getting the price cut. Entry-level Cellular models, such as the 16GB Silver version from AT&T, are priced at $480 with the discount.
In addition to iPad Air discounts, Staples is offering $30 off all models of the Retina iPad mini for Labor Day weekend, dropping the price of the entry-level 16GB Wi-Fi only model to $399, for example. The company is also offering $100 off select computers that are regularly priced at $499 or more with the coupon code 11605, which applies to all iPads priced over $499, for a total discount of up to $130 on some Retina iPad mini models.
The Labor Day holiday is often a popular time for app discounts, and this year is no exception. Many app developers are already offering their apps at reduced prices, and additional discounts are expected before Monday. Our sister site TouchArcade has made a list of games already discounted, which includes Another World, Impossible Road, Pathogen, LEGO The Lord of the Rings, Strata Super Lemonade Factory, VVVVVV and more. Other apps on sale include Instacast 4 GoodReader 4, and Clone Magic.
Apple Accessories
Best Buy is offering a $100 iTunes gift card for $85, a discount of $15. Groupon is also offering a $15 iTunes card for $10, a discount of $5.
Woot is selling Sennheiser's MM---50-IP In-Ear Headphones with Apple Control for $24.99, a $25 discount. Woot is also offering a refurbished Jawbone Big Jambox Bluetooth speaker for $159, down from $299 new.
Groupon has the Logitech Folio case for the iPad Air for $19.99, a discount of $30. Groupon is also offering the Beats By Dre Tour In-Ear Headphones for $109.00, a discount of $40 off the regular price.
MacRumors is an affiliate partner with some of these vendors.

For $30-$50 savings, you might as well just wait and get a new one a couple of weeks later!

$130 off a new Retina iPad mini is tempting...
Makes it about $400 for a 32GB, or $500 for a 64GB. Less than the current price of refurbs from Apple.
Now to decide if I'm going to wait a bit longer and get a new 32GB "Retina iPad mini 2" in a few day/weeks (maybe?)....... hmmmm
Decided it was too good to pass up, LOL. 32GB Retina iPad mini + Smart Cover for roughly the same price as just a 16GB Retina iPad mini. Not bad.

I usually snap up a discounted iTunes card when these deals come along. This way I buy most of my iTunes content at a discount.
I support the MacRumors Blood Drive!

The Groupon deal is nice, 33% off... especially if you have a bunch of Groupon accounts.

Staples $30 didn't last long
Seems like Staples $30 off wasn't intended to stick around once they announced the $100 off coupon.

CPS "Indexing is falling behind"
We have a continues backup running but it keeps on having alert warning messages that say "Indexing is falling behind". What does that mean and how can I fix it?
Thank you for your help.
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
'If the Backup Destination has a "huge" volume of data, then simply enumerating the file system, twice, can cause the indexing process to take an extended period of time and if the Autonomy database is huge it may be slow at accepting records.' see http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH48545
What version are you using?
there is a hotfix but it is only for version 11d http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH61254
