The paper presents exhaustive performance system (a computer). The human brain is capable of performing comparison of 70 variants of proposed image retrieval technique complex visual perception, but is limited in speed while a using ten sundry color spaces and seven image tiling methods is done with the help of generic image database having 1000 images computer is capable of limited visual capabilities at much higher spread across 11 categories. For each proposed CBIR technique 55 speeds. In a CBIR, features are used to represent the image queries (randomly selected 5 per category) are fired on the generic content. The features are extracted automatically and there is no image database. To compare the performance of image retrieval manual intervention, thus eliminating the dependency on humans techniques, average precision and recall are computed and plotted in the feature extraction stage. These automated approaches to against number of retrieved images. The results have shown that object recognition are computationally expensive, difficult and RGB and HSI color spaces give the best performance for average tend to be domain specific. The typical CBIR system performs energy based image retrieval across all tiles. Also it has been seen in two major tasks [16,17]. The first one is feature extraction (FE), all luminance-chromaticity based color spaces ( Kekre's LUV, where a set of features, called feature vector, is generated to YCbCr, YUV, YIQ and Kekre's YCgCb) that as the number tiles increased the overall performance also increases. accurately represent the content of each image in the database. The second task is similarity measurement (SM), where a Keywords: CBIR, Average Energy, Color Spaces, Image Tiling. distance between the query image and each image in the database using their feature vectors is used to retrieve the top I. INTRODUCTION "closest" images [16,17,26]. For feature extraction in CBIR there The large numbers of images which are being generated from a are mainly two approaches [5] feature extraction in spatial variety of sources (digital camera, digital video, scanner, the domain and feature extraction in transform domain. The feature internet etc.) have posed technical challenges for computer extraction in spatial domain includes the CBIR techniques based systems to store/transmit and index/manage image data on histograms [5], BTC [1,2,16], VQ [21,25,26]. The transform effectively to make such collections easily accessible. Image domain methods are widely used in image compression, as they compression deals with the challenge of storage and give high energy compaction in transformed image [17,24]. So it transmission, where significant advancements have been made is obvious to use images in transformed domain for feature [1,4,5]. The challenge to image indexing is studied in the context extraction in CBIR [23]. But taking transform of image is time of image database [2,6,7,10,11], which has become one of the consuming and also needs all images of database to be of same promising and important research area for researchers from a size to get similar feature vectors. This limitation is overcome wide range of disciplines like computer vision, image processing here in proposed CBIR methods using average energy concept and database areas. The thirst for better and faster image with help of image tiling. retrieval techniques is increasing day by day. Problems with traditional methods of image indexing have led to the rise in techniques for retrieving images on the basis of automatically II.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION For testing the performance of each proposed CBIR technique randomly selected five images from each category are fired on the database as queries. The average precision and average recall are computed by grouping the number of retrieved images. Figure 2 gives performance comparison of assorted color spaces with average energy technique based on image tiling. It is seen that as the image tiling increases so does the performance increase. The overall best performance is given by HSI color space in tile-9 (3x3). As far as the color spaces go, the best results for each of the tiling methods is given by RGB and HIS color spaces. Also it has been noted that as the no of tiles goes on increasing in all luminance-chromaticity Figure 1: Sample images of Generic Image Database [Image based color spaces like Kekre"s LUV, YCbCr, YUV, YIQ database contains total 1000 images with 11 categories] and Kekre"s YCgCb, the overall performance also To assess the retrieval effectiveness, we have used the increases precision and recall as statistical comparison parameters [1,2] for the proposed CBIR techniques.

The Hebbal police on Wednesday arrested Janata Dal (Secular) member R. Surendra Babu, husband of popular Kannada film and television actor H.N. Hemashree (30), in connection with her mysterious death on Tuesday evening.
The police, who had detained the 52-year-old land developer on Tuesday evening, arrested him even as the post-mortem reports suggested foul play and the viscera sent to the Forensic Sciences Laboratory. Hemashree's father H.T. Nagaraj has filed a case in the Hebbal police station.
Mr. Babu had contested unsuccessfully from Bangalore North parliamentary constituency in 2009 general elections on a Janata Dal (Secular) ticket.

Victoria Hospital sources, on condition of anonymity, said that the body bore multiple injuries, including the head and face. There were abrasions on the cheek and mouth. Besides, there were indications she had been smothered.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) H.S. Revanna said: "We will now conduct forensic tests to establish the actual cause of death."
The police said Mr. Babu told them the couple was driving to Anantapur in Andhra Pradesh Tuesday evening when Hemashree developed convulsions and fell unconscious. He claimed he took her to Baptist Hospital where she died later.
However, Baptist Hospital authorities, who have filed a medico-legal case, said the actor was brought dead on Tuesday evening.
They said death had occurred at least two hours prior to her being brought there.
Troubled marriage
The couple, married in 2011, had been having problems. Last month, Hemashree had complained to Additional Commissioner of Police (Law and Order), T. Suneel Kumar about her husband. She was advised to contact the Cubbon Park police. However, no case was registered with the Cubbon Park police at the time.
It was the second marriage for Mr. Babu, who had divorced his first wife to marry Hemashree.

Thanks to her parents' hard work, Kate qualified for residency in a home for adults with Prader-Willi in Wisconsin. There she is monitored 24 hours a day and has lost 100 pounds over the past year.
Residents are trained in healthier living and can earn income doing manual labor.
ABC News' John Donvan met up with the Kanes recently when Kate was home for the holidays. The setting was a restaurant, where she demonstrated newfound self-control and ordered just salad.
But there was something odd about Kate's behavior. Her eyes wandered off mid-conversation. It became apparent that she was following the food going to other tables. Kate explained the hunger is always there.
Like Mirabel, Kate would lie to get food. She shoplifted. She sneaked into a neighbor's home for it. She hid food in her closet.
Today, kids born with Prader-Willi can get off to a better start. They can be diagnosed virtually at birth and start hormone therapy to assist in their development.
Driscoll is studying the brains of kids with Prader-Willi. He thinks research into how Prader-Willi Syndrome triggers this condition, what body chemicals are involved and how they interact could yield benefits for everyone who struggles with their weight.
"We think we're going to get major clues by understanding Prader-Willi Syndrome, which is one reason for obesity, that gives us a window of opportunity to go in and help to understand other causes of obesity and, eventually, to figure out what's broken and then how to fix it," Driscoll said.
But Kate and Maribel's ceaseless hunger is a terrible price to pay, even if they can help make a lasting contribution to researchers' understanding of the condition.
Maribel's mom -- who shares her daughter's name -- points out there are also blessings, however. "The blessing is we've learned so much from Maribel," she says.
"A lot of special persons [are] out there," she said. "We should all look and see what they have inside."

Twilight Prom Celebrates Love of Supernatural Series
By RYAN N. JONES firstname.lastname@example.com
Nearly 30 young adults arrived at the Roanoke County Public Library on Electric Road Tuesday dressed in their formal best for the library's Twilight Prom — an event inspired by a popular science-fiction book series.
Published in 2005, Stephenie Meyer's first novel, "Twilight," instantly captivated the hearts and minds of young readers across the county.
Now, with the August 2 release of the fourth and final novel in The Twilight Saga, "Breaking Dawn," fans are continuing to help bring Meyer's less-than-conventional characters to life with events like the library's Twilight Prom.
"There's always a huge list of holds [for the books]," said youth services librarian Wendy Rancier. "I just had a feeling it was going to be a popular thing to do."
Guests at the "prom" enjoyed music from Meyer's personal play list, which she posted on her official website for fans to download. They also brought their own T-shirts to decorate with phrases best understood by other Twilight fans.
The most popular phrase was "Team Edward" — a reference to one of the series' main characters, who just happens to be a vampire.
"The main character, you're just drawn to him," said Courtney Tamaro, a tenth-grader at Cave Spring High School, as she giggled with her friends about their attraction to the mythical Edward.
Rancier says despite the mostly adolescent female audience, some boys and adults have picked up the novels as well. She and her co- workers have enjoyed the novels themselves and welcomed the opportunity to organize the Twilight Prom.
"It was the last book and we really wanted to do something kind of special with it," she said.
Tuesday's event was the second of three Twilight Proms planned by the library system — the first took place August 4 at the Vinton Library and the last took place August 12 at the Hollins Library.
Many have compared the popularity of Meyer's supernatural novels to that of J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series, which ended when the seventh book was released in 2007.
"I like the books because they're supernatural, but in a relatable sense," Colleen Truskey, an eighth-grader at Cave Spring Middle School, said of The Twilight Saga. "I guess they [the books] are popular because they're just neat. They let you forget about things and escape."

Medveščak (creek)
Medveščak (pronounced [medʋeʃtʃǎːk], also called Crikvenik) is a creek in central Zagreb, Croatia. It flows from Kraljičin zdenac in Podsljeme down along the southern slopes of the Medvednica mountain to the Manduševac Fountain, its mouth. The creek was covered in 1898 and today forms part of the Zagreb sewer system. Medveščak has long served as an important geographical feature of historic Zagreb, delineating the border between the often warring twin cities of Gradec (Gornji Grad) and Kaptol between the 11th and the 19th century and causing many violent floods which often decimated houses on its banks. Most of the stream is located in the Gornji Grad - Medveščak city district, running underground under Tkalčićeva and Medvedgradska Streets.[1][2]
The creek today plays a minor role in the Zagreb sewer system, having ceased powering the Manduševac Fountain in 1882.[3] However, it gave its name to the Medveščak neighborhood.
One of the best known roles of Medveščak is as the border between the two cores of modern downtown Zagreb, Gradec and Kaptol. The two cities often had disputes about the creek's sovereignty and the ownership of mills built on it. One of the relics remaining as the evidence of these tumultuous times is the Krvavi Most, a former bridge and currently a very short street in the Zagreb pedestrian zone, whose name literally means "Bloody Bridge." It has been the site of several battles between the twin cities.[1]
Medveščak has been the center of Zagreb industry since the early days of the city, spawning numerous watermills. The watermills caused the development of Zagreb industry, easing the construction of Zagreb's first cloth, soap, paper and liquor factories and later animal skin industry. The watermills were often the subject of feuds between the twin cities, Kaptol and Gradec. A 1392 peace treaty forbade construction of new watermills along the shared city border, between today's southern end of Medvedgradska Street and Ban Jelačić Square, leaving only two mills within the city. Both mills were owned by a Cistercian monastery. However, they were both razed during the 1898 covering of the creek.[4]
The creek often produced catastrophic floods until 1898, at which time it was covered by the Creek Road (Croatian: Ulica Potok, today Tkalčićeva Street) and became part of the new sewer system.[5] The most tragic flood was the one in 1651, when 52 people were confirmed to have drowned in the creek.[6] The creek thus earned the name "Krvavi Potok" ("Bloody creek"), as described by the notable Zagreb historian Baltazar Adam Krčelić in his work Annuae.[2]

Madagascar pays a steep price for its political stagnation
- By Suzanne MerkelsonSuzanne Merkelson is an editorial assistant at Foreign Policy.
Almost a year and a half since protests spurned a coup that removed democratically-elected President Marc Ravalomanana, Madagascar's political crisis continues to drag along. The government remains paralyzed and isolated, and formal development is reeling, with hundreds of millions of much-needed aid dollars frozen by donors.
Yesterday, the interim government, led by former DJ and mayor of Antananarivo, the country's capital and largest city, President Andry Rajoelina, who also has the backing of the country's military, reached an agreement with nearly 100 smaller political parties for new election dates. The accord is set to be adopted tomorrow, but it looks to have little impact: The three main opposition parties are boycotting discussions. These parties say they will only take part in elections that they help orchestrate, not just one organized by Rajoelina's government.
The accord sets presidential elections for the middle of next year, with a vote on a constitutional referendum on November 17. Originally, the referendum was supposed to be held this month and presidential elections in November, but opposition parties balked at these too. Earlier power-sharing negotiations, conducted in South Africa, also failed to bring all parties to an agreement.
This news does not bode well for the Malagasy people, of whom about 70 percent live below the poverty line. The EU, World Bank, and USAID have blocked development aid. Also in peril is the island nation's delicate and extraordinarily unique environment, famous for endemic species like lemurs and baobab trees. Instability caused by the coup has created an illegal logging crisis in Madagascar's national parks. Loggers plunder rosewood trees, while lemurs have been hunted for bushmeat. This month, UNESCO's World Heritage committee added Madagascar's tropical forests to its Danger List of threatened ecosystems.
"What has been happening in Madagascar since the coup is little more than a smash-and-grab raid," Conservation International head Dr. Russell Mittermeier told Mongabay. "Unscrupulous companies have been taking advantage of the upheaval and the willingness of the current regime to allow highly damaging practices which bring no benefit to the nation and simply enrich a few greedy people."
In a surprisingly positive twist, a World Bank report (with the cautiously optimistic title: "Why has the Malagasy economy not yet collapsed?") published last month said Madagascar had largely avoided financial disaster thanks to a strong informal economy, which has grown an estimated 13 percent since 2009, and good weather. Rice yields have hit record levels after two years without cyclones.

The sentiment on bourses improved on Tuesday, with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) 30-share sensitive index (Sensex) closing above the 19000-mark again.
The Sensex closed at 19229.84 with a gain of 282.86 points or 1.49 per cent.
The rally was led by the beaten down sectors like realty, which gained 4.46 per cent, followed by banks by 2.92 per cent, automobiles 2.32 per cent and power 2.04 per cent.
However, consumer durables lost 0.20 per cent and metal 0.05 per cent. On the National Stock Exchange (NSE), the 50-share Nifty gained 86.90 points to close at 5699.30.
"A lot of the movement is attributable to the inflation data which was released. Many economists were expecting consumer prices to have risen 9.7 per cent in the month of July, but the actual number released was of 9.6 per cent. This data shows that inflation has cooled off somewhat," said Raghu Kumar, Co-founder, RKSV, a leading broking firm.

PH bets eye strong show in Special Olympics
MANILA—The Philippines hopes to continue its impressive showing by sending 38 athletes to the 13th Special Olympics World Summer Games set June 20 to July 4 in Athens.
The Filipinos collected nine gold medals in the previous staging of the event for intellectually-challenged athletes in Shanghai, China, four years ago and officials are confident of another creditable showing this year.
Bowling standout Roxanne Salve Ng and powerlifter Louie John Decolongon, who bagged gold medals in Shanghai, will again lead the contingent in Greece.
Maria Therese Macapagal, head of the Philippine delegation, Macapagal hopes the performance of the athletes will inspire Filipinos and also put to light the plight of people with intellectual disabilities.
"Our campaign is awareness through sports," she said, noting that those participating are athletes who are either autistic, with down syndrome or cerebral palsy. "We have won gold medals in the Special Olympics which is even better than our real Olympians."
Alexander Babst, the executive director of Special Olympics in the Philippines, noted that having representatives in the World Games is a triumph in itself because of the sacrifices made by the athletes and the coaches.
"The Special Olympics has been all about volunteerism," said Babst.
The Filipino athletes will compete in six events in Greece—athletics, aquatics, badminton, bowling, gymnastics and powerlifting.

Blast damages bridge to mine
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO—Unidentified persons set off explosives on a steel and wooden bridge leading to a mining site in Masinloc, Zambales, Sunday morning but no one was hurt in the blast, police said.
Senior Supt. Francisco Santiago, Zambales police director, said his men were investigating the incident on the bridge in Barangay (village) Taltal. The blast happened just after 1 a.m. on Sunday.
He said the bridge, which is 3.04 meters (10 feet) long, was damaged and the Department of Public Works and Highways had committed to finish the repair in a day.
Santiago said the police were looking at a dispute over the ownership of chromite tailings at Coto Mines as a possible motive for the blast.
Chief Insp. Pancho Doble, Masinloc police chief, said the bridge was located at Kilometer 13 of the access road that is used by miners and residents of the villages of Baloganon and Taltal.
Santiago said three bridges in the same area leading to Coto Mines were blown up last year.—Tonette Orejas and Cesar Villa

It isn't about Ferrer's size it is about his MIND. Ferrer just doesn't believe in himself and he might need help because his time on tour is limited he's 31 next week. If Ferrer wants to win a slam he has got to calm his nerves when he has chances to beat the top 4.
He is not going to win a GS. He sees Federer as a tennis god and himself as a tennis worker. Deep inside his mind he IS NOT allowed to defeat Federer.
Something similar (but to a way lesser degree) thinks about Nadal and Djokovic (and even Murray).
It is the opposite of what Djokovic showed back in 2007 (he was SO SURE of himself as the next nº1 player in the world).

text: /> "I knew what I wanted to do," he said. "I wanted to touch the ball." He was playing varsity ball by his sophomore year at John Tyler High School. A year later, he was well on his way to breaking the school's rushing record, a mark held for several decades by Hall of Fame legend Earl Campbell. College recruiters were calling, and future plans were developing. Then, one fall Friday night, Hunter made a dive toward the end zone. Defenders reached and grabbed as he leapt toward the goal line. He landed in the end zone for a highlight-worthy touchdown, but when Hunter popped up and started to walk, he fell right back down again. Something was wrong with his foot, and he thought his shoe had come off. "Then, I really looked," he remembered. "It was twisted backward." Hunter had broken his ankle so severely that he would need a plate and screws to surgically repair it. None of it fazed Hunter. He recovered quicker than his doctor had ever seen anyone rehab from such an injury. He returned to the field for spring ball about six months after the injury. "It's just me sitting out and realizing how much I love football," he explained. He carries a reminder of that with him always. He can still touch his ankle and feel the hardware just below the skin. That motivates him. Ditto for phone calls home to his family. His mom still lives in Tyler with his older brother and sister. "They motivate me a lot," Hunter said. He paused. "I just wish I could do more for my family," he said, his voice quiet but his words strong. "I just like to see them happy." Hunter already has quite a story to tell, but the final chapters have yet to be written. He has every intention of making the ending the happiest of them all.

Alabama Woman Finds Missing Cat During Interview
Get your tissues ready. Judy survived the Alabama tornadoes and managed to find two of her three cats. While she was doing a news interview, her third cat came walking up out of nowhere after being missing for weeks!

text: The Dementoid wiki last edited by Txapote on 01/02/14 07:18AM View full history Dementoid is a green-skinned "rehabilitating" criminal who joined the Redeemers in taking down the Sinister Spider-Man, Venom (Mac Gargan).Once, while committing a robbery, Spider-Man attacked him, and Dementoid's powers had no affect. Spider-Man than secretly ate both his arms. This was a problem, but not as bad as some of the other Redeemer's injuries since Dementoid at least had two tentacles. The Redeemer then convinced him to join the Redeemers.When the Redeemers tried to make Spider-Man apologize for his crimes, take therapy, and perform community service, Venom refused. In the ensuing battle Dementoid was beaten and defeated but did not die or lose any more limbs (although the symbiote did grow a mouth over Gargan's sphincter that did nearly kill him) Spider-Man let him get away rather than have him tell his story to anyone. The Dementoid was with the other two Redeemers not incarcerated or killed (Redeemer and General Wolfram). When the Redeemer announced another plan to "redeem" Spider-Man, Dementoid was reluctant. However, he later agreed and the trio sent images of Spider-Man doing various horrible crimes to Mayor J. Jonah Jameson. Powers and AbilitiesThe Dementoid is able to drive most people insane by his touch, but for some reason this did not work on the Sinister Spiderman (possibly because of the alien symbiote and/or Gargan was already insane). He has two cyborg arms that function reasonably well; it is unknown if they have any superhuman abilities. He also possesses two tentacles. His appearance is green, bald, tall, and distorted though his origin is unknown.

Winning the Fight Against Man-in-the-Browser – Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile Now Available
DALLAS, Aug. 16 /PRNewswire/ — In April 2010, Entrust, Inc., announced the newest innovation in strong authentication technology – Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile. The advanced mobile authentication application is a component of a layered security approach to thwart malicious man-in-the-browser malware attacks – like the nefarious Zeus Trojan – and is now available as part of the newest release of Entrust IdentityGuard 9.3.
"To effectively fight the increasingly sophisticated strands of malware, including man-in-the-browser attacks, financial institutions should use a layered approach powered by proven identity-based security solutions," said TowerGroup senior research director George Tubin. "In addition to successful strong authentication and fraud detection methods, out-of-band transaction verification via a mobile application can prove effective in helping defeat man-in-the-browser attacks."
Going Mobile
Establishing itself as a leader in identity-based security strategies and solutions, Entrust and the innovative mobile identity application allows organizations to strongly authenticate customers, partners, vendors or users via a smartphone device. Whether for consumer, government or enterprise environments, Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile represents an extremely cost-effective and secure approach for authenticating any end-user.
Leveraging deployed smartphones and without requiring any specialized hardware, Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile delivers unique security capabilities for organizations, including out-of-band transaction verification, to defeat the latest malware threats affecting online-banking users.
"This is a critical tool in the fight against online fraud, particularly man-in-the-browser malware like Zeus that have, unfortunately, been successful defrauding large and small organizations alike," said Entrust President and CEO Bill Conner. "Coupled with a versatile authentication platform and fraud-monitoring capabilities, secure mobile applications can help consumers and financial institutions defend against these malicious malware attacks."
Defeating Man-in-the-Browser
Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile works in conjunction with Entrust's proven authentication and fraud detection solution – a strategy that is recognized by leading analyst firms for its ability to stop man-in-the-browser malware.(1) The mobile security platform enables strong authentication, as well as detailed transaction review and confirmation, on the handheld device. The application then generates standards-based, one-time passcodes (OTP) based on the values of the transaction itself.
"A mobile security application that provides strong authentication and out-of-band transaction verification is undeniably critical for customers in the fight against today's malware threats," said Neosecure S.A. CEO Eduardo Diaz. "Having this tool as a component of a larger versatile authentication platform – and right on their smartphone – only increases its value to organizations seeking solutions that will help protect their customers from online attacks."
In fact, Entrust is one of the only vendors that offers three distinct and highly effective methods of addressing man-in-the-browser attacks – behavioral and transactional fraud detection; SMS authentication with transaction details; and mobile out-of-band transaction verification and signature.
Easy to Use
One of the most convenient, easy-to-use strong mobile authentication methods available today, Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile enables out-of-band transaction verification, OATH-compliant signatures and even a method to immediately report suspicious account behavior. It is designed to operate on today's leading smartphone platforms, including the Apple iPhone, RIM BlackBerry, Microsoft Windows Mobile and Symbian (Java).
Affordable Authentication
Unlike physical options, Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile leverages a user's existing smartphone; there's no extra physical hardware to buy and deploy. In addition, Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile delivers transaction notifications directly to the phone without the use of SMS, which can reduce the overall cost of deployment for organizations.
Securing the Enterprise
And while Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile is proven to authenticate identities and transactions in the external world of consumer and business transactions, it's equally effective as a strong authenticator for internal enterprise VPN access, web portal access or corporate desktop security. The smartphone application can manage multiple identities on a single device, making it one of the most versatile and easy-to-use soft tokens available on the market today.
Popular Authenticators, One Platform
Entrust enables organizations to layer security – according to access requirements or the risk of a given transaction – across diverse users and applications. Entrust's authentication capabilities include username and password, IP-geolocation, device, questions and answers, out-of-band one-time passcode (delivered via voice, SMS or e-mail), grid and eGrid cards, digital certificates (in software or on smart cards/USB Tokens) and a range of one-time-passcode tokens, including Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile.

Two former Chief Ministers of Gujarat, Suresh Mehta and Shankarsinh Vaghela, and about 20 others were arrested on Sunday morning to prevent them from attending a rally organised by the State government employees. They were demanding the implementation of the sixth pay commission's recommendations for the central government employees.
However, the Ministers and the others were released in the evening after the rally ended. Both, Mr. Vaghela and Mr. Mehta, while describing the arrests as an attack on their democratic rights, said, the undemocratic act of the police marked the "beginning of the end of the Narendra Modi government in the State."
The police had earlier denied the employees the permission to hold a rally due to security concern in view of the day being the 17th demolition anniversary of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. At the last minute, it allowed the rally to be held at a different venue and with a dozen odd conditions.
The State Government Employees' Coordination Committee, which organised the rally, was told that "no outsiders," including "politicians," would be allowed to attend the rally. Apart from security checks, the employees were allowed to enter only after their identity cards were checked.
As soon as Mr. Mehta and Mr. Vaghela entered Ahmedabad to attend the rally, the police arrested them. The two Ministers had recently formed an organisation called the "Prabuddha Nagrik Manch" that supported to the employees' agitation for pay parity.
Their arrests led to some skirmishes between the police and the supporters, including many Congress workers who lay on the road to prevent police vehicles from taking away the arrested Ministers. Some workers of the National Students' Union of India, the students' wing of the Congress, stoned buses of the Ahmedabad Municipal Transport Corporation. Several private vehicles were also damaged in the process.
Mr. Vaghela said if leaders were not allowed to pay their respect to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and support the "just cause" of government employees, "only God can save the State."
Meanwhile, an anonymous advertisement published in several vernacular dailies alleged that government employees were becoming "tools in the hands of the political parties."
Employees' Coordination Committee president Vishnu Patel suspected this to be the handiwork of the State government to misguide and divide employees. "But we are united and no attempt by the government will split employees." Mr. Patel said though they were not seeking the support of political parties, any leader extending support to the cause was welcome. He also said the agitation will continue and be further intensified in the coming days if the government failed to concede to their demands.

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority is suing insurer Aon Risk Services, alleging that the company failed in their fiduciary duty in informing the agency of the full spectrum of possible liability, causing the agency to incur larger than anticipated losses following a deadly crash in June of 2009 that killed nine people, including a train driver. The WMATA's DC accident attorney says the crash has cost the agency $9 million so far, and that funds paid to victims and survivors of the accident have been taken from operating costs for the Metro rather than insurance money. A spokesman for Aon calls the agency's suit "without merit," and says Aon looks forward to defending itself against the claims in court.
