As the State had performed appreciably along various fiscal parameters amid a slowdown at the national level, Haryana Finance Minister Harmohinder Singh Chattha did not levy any fresh taxes while presenting the Budget for 2013-14 in the Assembly on Friday.
To achieve the objective of "Faster, Inclusive and Sustainable Growth" in the 12th Five Year Plan, Mr. Chattha proposed an outlay of Rs.27,071.32 crore, which included an Annual Plan of Rs.18,000 crore, which was 24 per cent higher than in the previous fiscal. An additional outlay of Rs.2,352.65 crore through Centrally-sponsored schemes is expected to raise the composite Plan outlay to Rs.20,352.65 crore.
Charting out the agenda of the government in the next financial year, Mr. Chattha said the agriculture and allied sector would get Rs.1,854.29 crore, while major emphasis was on infrastructure where the power sector will receive allocations worth Rs.5,232.97 crore, road and transport Rs.4,471.21 crore, irrigation Rs.2,240.96 crore, public health engineering Rs.2,307.49 crore, urban development Rs.3,112.66 crore and education Rs.8,944.87 crore. Provisions of Rs.3,216.28 crore had been made for social justice and empowerment including welfare of Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes, while the government proposed to spend Rs.1,898.40 crore on rural development and panchayats.
Unfolding a list of initiatives, Mr Chattha said the government proposed to launch an ambitious housing scheme, Priyadarshini Awaas Yojna (PAY), to facilitate housing in rural areas. The scheme proposes to provide houses to at least two lakh families in two years. Each beneficiary would receive financial assistance of Rs.81,000 by the State as grant for the construction of a house as well as an assistance of Rs.9,100 for the construction of toilet in convergence with Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA). A sum of Rs.350 crore has been earmarked for the next fiscal to meet the targets of the scheme where funds are being raised through HUDCO. The government would provide adequate infrastructural facilities for water and power connections at the doorstep of the beneficiaries.
The Budget estimates projected total receipts at Rs.52,640.85 crore, registering an increase of Rs.7,486.62 crore. The Finance Minister predicted a total expenditure of around Rs.53,073.59 crore, of which revenue expenditure would reach Rs.46,223.56 crore and capital expenditure would remain at Rs.6,850.03 crore. Revenue and fiscal deficits for the next year were projected at Rs.2,443.23 crore and Rs.8,975.97 crore, respectively.
Mr Chattha informed the House that the revenue deficit as a percentage to Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) was expected to fall to 0.59 as against 0.90 in 2012-13. The ratio of salary and pension to total revenue receipts would also reduce, while the Debt:GSDP ratio would decline favourably to 16.47 per cent remaining within the limits prescribed by the 13th Finance Commission.
To cover the budgetary gap, Mr. Chattha expected additional resources through a 17.26 per cent increase in VAT that would yield Rs.19,288.61 crore. While Excise collections would bring in Rs.4,000 crore, stamps and registration, passengers and goods tax, share from Central taxes and vehicle taxes, are expected take the receipts on the tax revenue to Rs.32,268.24 crore. The non-tax revenue including the grant-in-aid of Rs.6,349.61 crore from the Centre is expected to reach Rs.11,512.09 crore.

They must go back as their report has been rejected, says BJYM
The Centre's interlocutors on Jammu and Kashmir, who were scheduled to meet several delegations to discuss the recommendations made in their report, on Sunday faced protests by activists of various organisations, following which they were forced to return from the meeting venue.
Demonstrations staged
As interlocutors Dilip Padgaonkar and Professor Radha Kumar arrived at the venue on Sunday morning, activists of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), Sangharsh Samiti Kranti Dal and Panun Kashmir staged demonstrations against them, compelling them to leave the area.
The interlocutors held the conference after the protesters were dispersed from the venue.
Meanwhile, the protesters said the interlocutors must return as their report had been rejected.
"The Bharatiya Janata Party has already rejected the report, and so we do not want to see them [the interlocutors] here," BJYM State president Munish Sharma told journalists. The interlocutors arrived here from Srinagar, where they met a cross-section of people during the past three days.
Panel meets delegations
The panel also met a few delegations to obtain inputs about the recommendations made in the report.
The BJP, Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party, Nationalist Congress Party, Bahujan Samaj Party and Panun Kashmir boycotted the meeting.

A spell of good rains on Sunday left the city drenched, but that was far from quenching its thirst. With the catchment areas continuing to receive subnormal rainfall, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is likely to inflict an additional water cut in a range of 5 per cent to 10 per cent.
In a normal case, the BMC supplies 3,750 million litres daily (MLD) water to city as against the actual requirement of 4,200 MLD. But in view of poor rainfall, the civic body has been implementing 20 per cent cut in time slot for which it supplies water to domestic consumers.
The corporation reduced water supply to recreational facilities and commercial establishments between 50 per cent and 100 per cent since July 17 as useful content across lakes continued to recede. The BMC is set to review the water situation by the month-end. But the current situation has left the corporation mulling over additional cuts. Nearly 89 per cent of BMC's consumers are domestic ones.
"The water stock is at four-year low. We can go for cloud seeding, but are not sure of how effective it will be. Also, it is a short-run measure. So there is no other way left for us but to consider an additional water cut," said a senior civic official, wishing not to be named.
The official though said the cut is unlikely to be more than 10 per cent. "The system won't be able to handle a sudden shock. So we are likely to increase cut by a meagre 5 per cent to 10 per cent. Rains started picking up in catchment areas in the afternoon on Sunday. We hope it rains heavily over the next few days as even we are not happy with inflicting cuts," he said.
The official said the BMC will take a final call on the duration of restricted supply by month-end. "We can only appeal residents to use water judiciously. Save every drop of water, a valuable resource," he added.
Meanwhile, Mumbai was lashed by heavy rainfall on Sunday with the Santa Cruz and Colaba receiving 102.4 mm and 65.4 mm showers respectively between 8:30 am to 8:30 pm.
Stocktaking: July 27, 2014
Total water available: 3,51,685 million litres
Stock on the same day last year: 11,32,942 million litres
Annual water requirement (as on October 1): 13.50 million litres

Belfast featherweight Martin Lindsay hopes to one day emulate countryman and WBA super-bantamweight champion Bernard Dunne and scoop world title honours of his own. Gearing up for this Saturdays (April 25) British title dust-up with Paul Appleby, the talented Mac Man has been buoyed by the crowning of Irelands latest world champion. I didnt know what to expect before the fight, says Lindsay of Dunnes WBA title fight with Ricardo Cordoba in March..
I knew Cordobas record and reputation, but Id never seen him actually box before. I knew Dunne was going to be up against it, though. The fight was just brilliant. There were times in the fifth round where Dunne looked like he was on his way out and yet he came back superbly and won the title.
It was a tremendous fight to watch and Im sure the crowd got their moneys worth with that one. It was an amazing moment for Irish boxing.
Admitting he was inspired by Dunnes rise to prominence in the super-bantamweight division, Lindsay may one day find himself on a collision course with the newly-installed WBA champion.
It wouldnt be a bad fight for Ireland, would it? says the 26-year-old Lindsay. Im sure Bernards got other plans right now, though, and Ive heard hes looking at Israel Vasquez. Hell be looking to jump on to the big stage now. Whatever Dunne goes on and does now is a bonus. Nobody can ever take away what he did against Cordoba.
Before Lindsay can even start dreaming of world title shots, he must first conquer Appleby on April 25 at the Ulster Hall. Both unbeaten, both hungry for titles and both highly-rated by boxing aficionados, Appleby vs. Lindsay figures to be one of the most intriguing domestic battles of 2009.
The 21-year-old Appleby realises the threat of Lindsay and has prepared accordingly.
Trainings gone very well, says Appleby, 14-0 (9 KO). I spent six weeks in Cyprus and I feel better than Ive ever felt before. I havent had to watch my weight so much this time round because the first date between the pair of us was postponed. That gave me a few more weeks to get down to the weight. I kept on training hard throughout, but just started eating more normal again. I didnt have to worry too much about dieting.
Its quite hard to make featherweight. Im not going to lie about it. My future will probably be at super-featherweight or lightweight. I may even end up at light-welterweight in the future.
A promising featherweight for the time being, Appleby enters the lions den on Saturday night, hell-bent on retaining his prestigious Lonsdale belt. Despite the recent run of Irish boxing victories, Appleby is relishing the chance to beat Lindsay in Belfast.
Im actually looking forward to boxing away in Ireland, admits Appleby. Hopefully the crowd are booing me a bit. That will get me even more psyched up and make me want to win even more. Id fight Lindsay anywhere. It doesnt bother me. I just love to box, no matter where the ring is.
*** Martin Lindsays British title shot against Paul Appleby takes place at the Ulster Hall, Belfast on April 25. Tickets priced at £35, £50 and £70 can be purchased directly by calling 02890 334 455.

Norwich puncher Sam Sexton says he will ruin Martin Rogan's homecoming on May 15 in Belfast.
Sexton will tackle Rogan for the Commonwealth heavyweight title at the Odyssey Arena on an action-packed card to be televised by Sky Sports.
And the Norwich puncher is vowing to derail Rogan's world title dream following back-to-back victories over Audley Harrison and Matt Skelton.
"To beat someone like Rogan you have to show him no respect and go straight to him. I'm not planning on any fancy dan boxing, I'm just going to meet him head on and see what he's got and if he can take what he dishes out," said Sexton.
"I know I'm going to be in for a war and I'll have to go into the trenches but that is what I relish.
"I know there will be a hostile crowd in Belfast, but as soon as I start landing then I'll silence them.
"This fight is being billed as a big homecoming for Rogan after two hard fights on the road, but don't expect me to be the fall guy.
"I feel sorry for all the Belfast fans who are turning up expecting a Rogan win, I just want them to know now that I'm coming to ruin his little party.
Sexton, still only 24, has shown plenty of promise in his 12 fights to date, winning 11 of them.
And like Rogan, he triumphed in a Prizefighter heavyweight tournament, pocketing £25,000 after winning three times in one night.
"That was a nice bit of cash," said Sexton.
"But I know that if I beat Rogan then there will be even bigger sums on offer.
"Domestically, Martin is the man to beat at the moment, and if I knock him out then I'm going to be in line for some big pay days."
Tickets are priced at £150 (Ringside), £100 (Floor), £60 (Floor), £40 (Tier) and £30 (Tier) are available from: Odyssey Arena Box Office 02890 739 074 www.odysseyarena.com

Parisian IT company KoDe looking to locate in Dulles
KoDe runs VivaMens, an SQL query accelerator, which allows for faster database searches on the web.
Reports from the company state that it expects to locate in the Dulles area and add six staff members with an initial investment of $100,000.
The company brought in a new CEO and received venture capital money from A Plus Finance in October.
"We welcome KoDe into Loudoun's sizzling-hot I.T. community," said Buddy Rizer, Loudoun director of economic development in a prepared statement. "One of the great things about information, communications and telecom companies is that small businesses can make a huge impact in their industry and often grow very quickly."
"The bottom line is that we chose Loudoun because they made things happen for us. They didn't just talk a good game; they always did what they said they would do," CEO of KoDe Software Eric Hifi said in a prepared statement.
Rizer recently mentioned in an interview with the Times-Mirror that the Economic Development Department was hoping to expand its discussions with international businesses.
Dulles International Airport and soon-to-be Metro stops, paired with an ever-friendlier technology community, position the eastern Loudoun area to capture those assets.

Tina Turner celebrates her wedding in Switzerland
GENEVA (AP) - Tina Turner is celebrating her wedding to Erwin Bach with a party at her Swiss lakeside estate near Zurich.
Swiss media are reporting that pop stars David Bowie, Sade and talk show impresario Oprah Winfrey are among the more than 120 guests invited to Sunday's Buddhist-inspired event.
Zurich police spokeswoman Esther Surber says authorities are temporarily barring boats on Lake Zurich from nearing Turner's Chateau Algonquin estate in the Kuesnacht municipality to prevent onlookers from causing accidents on the waterway.
About a month ago, the 73-year-old American pop star tied the knot with Bach, a 57-year-old German music executive and her longtime beau, at the town hall in the wealthy community.
Turner's marriage to her former musical partner, the late Ike Turner, ended in divorce.

A driptorch is a tool used in wildfire suppression, controlled burning, and other forestry applications to intentionally ignite fires.
The driptorch consists of a canister for holding fuel with a handle attached to the side, a spout with a loop to prevent fire from entering the fuel canister, a breather valve to allow air into the canister while fuel is exiting through the spout, and a wick from which flaming fuel is dropped to the ground. The wick is ignited and allows the fire to be directed as needed. The spout and wick can be secured upside down inside the canister for storage or transport. Typically the fuel used is a mixture of gasoline and diesel with a ratio of 30% to 70% respectively, although, the amounts may need to be adjusted according to fuel and weather conditions.[1] Sometimes heavier oils are used to increase adhesion of the liquid fuel to the vegetation, and increase burn time and heat.
Variations of the driptorch can be attached to off-road vehicles (like tractors etc.) to ignite a fire while driving slowly along the ignition line. Another variant of the driptorch is the helitorch, which is attached to a helicopter and is used to ignite fire from the air.
The intentional ignition of fires is a common firefighting tactic. A burnout (also called a firing operation, or firing out) is a smaller fire ignited along a control line ahead of the main fire. The intent is to consume fuel ahead of the main fire, strengthening the control line. A backfire is a more aggressive type of burning done to influence the behavior of the main fire.
In forest and prairie management, the driptorch is the most common tool used to ignite prescribed burns, which are used to remove excess fuel buildup or to re-create natural cycles of fire in an ecosystem. Other tools which can also be used for this purpose include the fusee, a pyrotechnic device similar to a road flare, other pyrotechnic devices, or even shovelfulls of burning vegetative fuels thrown from one place to another.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Scottie Wilbekin had 14 points and eight assists, Pat Young recorded his sixth double-double of the season and No. 7 Florida handled No. 25 Kentucky 69-52 on Tuesday night.
The Gators (20-3, 10-1 Southeastern Conference) snapped a five-game losing streak in the series, and coach Billy Donovan improved to 2-7 against Kentucky's John Calipari.
This one solidified Florida's spot atop the league standings.
The Wildcats (17-7, 8-3) lost for the first time in six games, and it may have been costly.
Nerlens Noel, the nation's leading shot-blocker, injured his left knee in the second half and did not return.
Noel, a freshman who averages 10.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 4.5 blocks a game for the defending national champions, landed awkwardly on his leg with about 8 minutes to play. He screamed in pain as trainers rushed to his side. Teammates carried him to the locker room for tests.
Florida had a comfortable lead before the injury.
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Gary Harris scored 17 points and Derrick Nix had 14 to help No. 8 Michigan State rout No. 4 Michigan, the rivalry's first matchup of top 10 teams.
The Spartans (21-4, 10-2 Big Ten) broke a first-place tie in the conference with No. 1 Indiana.
The Wolverines (21-4, 8-4) have lost three of four, but the closely contested setbacks on the road against the Hoosiers and Wisconsin were nothing like the latest.
Michigan State didn't trail once, led by as many as 16 points in the first half and enjoyed 30-point leads in the second half.

One subject she has not yet touched on is her new husband, Michael McCuddy, a former teacher who now works as a contractor and artist. But he says he's more than okay with that.
"Her songs are usually about a guy being a jerk," he said, laughing.
"He's very happy I don't write songs about him," she said.
The pair seemed very satisfied with their relationship. DioGuardi said, "He's just so genuine and good and honest and supportive and not freaked out, not jealous, he doesn't compete with me. He's just so understanding and loving. I just smile when I think of him," she said, smiling as she spoke. "He's just the best."
The couple wed in July 2009, and these days they are renovating their home in Los Angeles.
DioGuardi credits her husband, and her experience with "American Idol," for giving her the confidence to overcome her stage fright and perform her own songs. DioGuardi said she's enjoying the performances, where she will play some of her well-known tracks.
"I tell the story of how they were written," she said.
Often she'll discuss certain obstacles they overcame in writing the song or perhaps some of the backstory on how the song came about. "And then I sing the song acoustically. And then there's a 15 minute Q&A period: 'Is Simon really that mean?' 'Does Randy really say "dawg" that much?' 'What's it like with Ellen?' she said, laughing.
"You know, that kind of stuff, it's really fun," she said.

History of poker
The principle of poker is very ancient. One of its ancestral games—primero (Spain), primiera (Italy), la prime (France)—appears in literature at least as early as 1526. In this game each player had three cards, and the counting combinations were three of a kind, a pair, and a flux (flush; three cards of the same suit). In later developments certain cards had special value, equivalent to wild cards in modern poker. By about 1700 the betting and bluffing aspects had produced the games of brag in England (one of four card games about which Edmond Hoyle wrote) and pochen (its name meaning "to bluff") in Germany. From the latter the French developed a similar game called poque, first played in French America in 1803, when the Louisiana Purchase made New Orleans and its environs territories of the United States. During the next 20 years, English-speaking settlers in the Louisiana Territory adopted the game, Anglicized its name to poker, and established the essential features of the modern game.
The earliest known reference to poker in American literature occurs in the memoirs (1829) of Joe Cowell, a touring English actor. From his description it is clear that the original American game was played with a pack of cards that included five cards for each player; all the cards were dealt, and the players bet on who had the best five-card combination. So played, poker is virtually indistinguishable from an older Persian game called as nas, a four-hand game played with a 20-card pack, five cards dealt to each player. This coincidence led some students of games to call poker a derivative of as nas, but this theory has been discredited.
By 1834, the date of the second known reference to poker, the game had been adapted to the modern 52-card deck. No description of poker is given in any book of the rules of games before 1858, but, in such books published in the 1860s, it is not characterized as a new game. The history of the game since then consists entirely of new features introduced to encourage freer betting: the straight, introduced as an additional valuable hand; the draw, so that players might stay in even when not originally dealt good hands; stud poker, to increase the number of opportunities for betting; and the jackpots, originally applying only to a pot to which each player antes, creating an unusually large pot at the start. Most of the innovations came in the decade 1861–70 and probably were engendered in the great amount of poker played by soldiers on both sides in the Civil War. Poker was a favourite in saloons throughout the American "Wild West" during the 1870s and '80s, and, contrary to Hollywood movies, the games rarely led to shoot-outs over accusations of cheating.
The spread of poker to other countries probably began in 1871, when Colonel Jacob Schenck, the U.S. minister to Great Britain, explained the game to a group of gentlemen that included members of the British court. Queen Victoria heard about the game and expressed interest, whereupon Schenck wrote and had privately printed (1872) a set of rules to send to her. This is the earliest known work devoted exclusively to poker, although the game had previously been treated in compendiums. Poker was already sufficiently identified with the United States so that Schenck described it as "our national game." However, this may have been only because all other card games played in the United States were undeniably of European origin. Although poker had a brief vogue in British court circles in the 1870s, its widespread acceptance in Great Britain and on the Continent came chiefly in the decade 1911–20 and was undoubtedly much influenced by the American Expeditionary Force in World War I.
For nearly 100 years in the United States, poker was considered a gambling game of men—unsuited to polite or mixed gatherings—but after the 1920s its popularity extended to both sexes and all levels of society. Surveys conducted in the middle of the 20th century showed poker to be the favourite card game of American men and the third most-favoured (after rummy and bridge) of American women, and in Great Britain it ranked next after contract bridge with both sexes.

Fitch Affirms Accenture's IDR at 'A+'; Outlook Stable Business Wire NEW YORK -- November 20, 2012 Fitch Ratings has affirmed the ratings of Accenture plc (Accenture) and subsidiaries as follows: Accenture --Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'A+'. Accenture International Capital SCA --Long-term IDR at 'A+'; --Senior unsecured bank credit facility at 'A+'. Accenture Capital Inc. --Long-term IDR at 'A+'; --Senior unsecured bank credit facility at 'A+'. The Rating Outlook is Stable. Approximately $1 billion of debt, consisting of an undrawn credit facility, is affected by Fitch's action. The Ratings and Outlook are supported by Accenture's: --Strong balance sheet with negligible debt; --Solid liquidity supported by significant and consistent free cash flow (FCF; about $2 billion plus), despite cyclical demand associated with the consulting and systems integration (C&SI) business. Fitch projects $2.5 - $3 billion of free cash flow (post dividends) in fiscal 2013 compared with $2.9 billion in fiscal 2012; --Revenue stability from established, long-term client relationships and industry expertise, resulting in a significant percentage of new contracts awarded on a sole-sourced basis; --Strong market position in targeted IT service groups with solid projected long-term market growth rates, especially application and business process outsourcing, supported by the company's significant and diversified offshore delivery capability; --Recurring revenue provided by longer-term outsourcing contracts (nearly 44% of net revenue) and less capital-intensive business model relative to its peers; --Diversified revenue base from a customer, industry, geography and service line offering perspective. Ratings concerns center on: --Potential for sizable debt-funded share repurchases and/or acquisitions. However, Fitch believes Accenture has considerable financial flexibility at the current rating due to its strong balance sheet and consistent FCF. --Pricing pressures due to intense competition from multinational, offshore (primarily India-based) and niche IT Services providers. --Long-term effect of software as a service (SaaS) adoption on demand for traditional systems integration services, particularly enterprise resource planning software. Fitch believes total IT services revenue generated from SaaS will likely be less than traditional software implementations over the software's entire life cycle, despite initial revenue from integrating SaaS into a client's existing systems. --Threat of new market entrants in the traditional outsourcing market due to increasing adoption of cloud computing. As of Aug. 31, 2012, Accenture's liquidity was strong, consisting of $6.6 billion of cash and investments, an undrawn $1 billion revolving line of credit maturing 2016 and $2.9 billion of FCF in the latest 12 months. The credit facility agreement requires the company to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio (debt/EBITDA) of less than 1.75 times (x). Fitch believes the company maintains greater flexibility in accessing its cash due to certain structural considerations taken as part of the 2001 reorganization that continue with Accenture's reincorporation in Ireland. Fitch anticipates free cash flow remaining after cash dividends will continue to be utilized primarily for share repurchases and acquisitions. As of Aug. 31, 2012, Accenture had negligible outstanding debt as the company generates ample cash flow to internally fund share repurchases, cash dividends and relatively modest acquisition activity to date. Total debt was less than $0.1 million on Aug. 31, 2011 compared with $4.4 million in the prior year. The company does have off-balance sheet debt in the form of significant operating lease commitments since it does not own any of its real estate as part of its 'asset-light' strategy. In the past five fiscal years, Fitch estimates total adjusted debt to EBITDAR ranged from 0.9x - 1x and was 0.9x in the fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 2012. WHAT COULD TRIGGER A RATING ACTION Negative: Future developments that may lead to a negative rating action include: --Significant debt-financed acquisitions and/or share repurchases that result in a material deterioration in credit protection measures. Positive: Upside movement in the ratings is unlikely in the near term. Additional information is available at 'www.fitchratings.com'. The ratings above were solicited by, or on behalf of, the issuer, and therefore, Fitch has been compensated for the provision of the ratings.

The dreaded Riva 125 electric bystarter (choke)
View Single Post
cheap bastard
Joined: Oct 2010
Oddometer: 32
The 125 riva (in my experience) starts very poorly in sub 50 degree weather if it's allowed to sit for a couple days. My personal investigation has shown, at least on my scooter, with an in tact clean carb, the float bowl nearly dry by day three. There is very little vacuum at cranking speed and it is pulsing, of course. The vacuum petcock has little chance to supply enough fuel to the empty chamber, so cranking times are very long. My engine showed 160 psi during a compression test. Cranking vacuum peaked at 7 inches. Clear fuel filter installed, Fuel shows low flow when cranking. If a vacuum is applied to the petcock before trying to start the engine cold and dry, filling the float chamber, starting is easy.
Conversations with a couple guys that have used these machines for years has taught me that cold start issues are very common, at the least.
The Grizzly 125 ATV may have a related engine with a proper choke, but I came up with no supporting info. Changing to a different model's carb was more work than I wanted to expend on this bike, so I looked for other solutions. A "T" in the vacuum line, with a syringe and hose could provide a vacuum source for the petcock. A check valve in the carb side of that arrangement would be needed, but a way to defeat it would also be required to shut the petcock off as it would hold a vacuum after shut down. The other idea, the one chosen, was to port a hose long enough to route to a handy position. The hose was fastened over a nipple inserted in the air box. Starting fluid can then be sprayed into the air box without dripping it all over ones hands. There is a cap on the hose to avert having unfiltered air drawn into the engine.
One could also just start the machine every day or two and put a battery charger on it occasionally for maintenance.

Cytokine in Childhood Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Principal Investigator: Marco Grados, M.D., M.P.H.
This study aims to understand pattern of cytokine expression in childhood Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Monthly assessments over a 12-month period are conducted in order to measure the level of OCD symptoms, tic severity, and general psychiatric symptoms of children aged 5-17 years. Hospital visits at months 1, 4, 8 and 12 employ blood tests to determine the expression of cytokine networks, ASO titers and other immune-marker measures. In months 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 11 the same measures (blood tests and tests for OCD and tics) are administered in the home or by phone (alternate months). Additionally, if a dramatic worsening in symptoms occurs in intervening months additional blood samples are obtained. Thus this study aims to understand if OCD symptoms fluctuate in parallel with cytokine network changes or other immune measures using a longitudinal design.

With the subsidy component for sale of petroleum products at subsidised prices from the government still to come, Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), on Thursday, announced the biggest quarterly net loss of Rs.22,451 crore.
HPCL posts Rs. 9,249 cr loss
Another public sector undertaking Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) also posted a net loss of Rs.9,249 crore in April-June. The government has not compensated oil marketing companies (OMCs) for selling diesel, domestic LPG and kerosene below cost this year as the originally marked Rs.40,000 crore subsidy has all been exhausted in paying compensation for last fiscal.
IOC Chairman R. S. Butola is quick to sound a warning note that it could soon exhaust the limit to which it could take debt, and sourcing crude oil would become difficult as international sellers don't give credit. The government should realise that OMCs were on the brink and the issue of fuel subsidy need to be addressed urgently without any further delay, Mr. Butola told journalists here.
The three fuel retailers are projected to lose a record Rs.177,715 crore this fiscal as they sell diesel at a discount of Rs.12.13 a litre to its cost, kerosene at Rs.28.54 a litre and LPG at a discount of Rs.231 per 14.2-kg cylinder.
For IOC and other OMCs, things have gone from bad to worse due to the continued slump in the value of rupee against the U.S. dollar making import of crude oil costlier. "We had a net loss of Rs.22,450.95 crore in the April-June quarter as compared to Rs.3,718.70 crore loss in the same period a year ago,'' Mr. Butola said.
This was primarily because IOC was not compensated Rs.17,485 crore for selling diesel, domestic LPG and kerosene at a discount to its cost and the company lost another Rs.950 crore on selling below its cost. IOC's borrowings have gone up by a huge Rs.15,000 crore in the April-June quarter to Rs.90,923 crore. The company could borrow a maximum of Rs.110,000 crore, and if losses on fuel sales continued that borrowing limit would soon be reached, after which it would not get any finances impacting the company's ability to buy crude oil from international markets, he said.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. ( TheStreet) -- A lot of people stand to win or lose depending on the outcome of the Justice Department's effort to block the merger of US Airways (LCC) and American Airlines (AAMRQ). But I don't think anyone has as much at stake as US Airways CEO Doug Parker.
Parker began running America West in 2001, just days before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. His first task as CEO was to spend weeks in Washington, begging for money so the airline could survive. Soon after the patient was stabilized, Parker turned his attention to seeking a merger, which has remained a high priority for the past nine years.
Five attempts have been made public, starting with the failed 2004 effort to merge with bankrupt ATA. So far, the only success in this prolonged endeavor has been the 2005 merger between America West and US Airways, which combined two weak airlines into one that is viable.
The deal was a big step up for America West, but the new US Airways doesn't amount to much as a global competitor, despite a nice trans-Atlantic hub in Philadelphia and a nascent Latin America hub in Charlotte.The only way to get where Parker wanted to go was - and remains -- a merger with American, Delta (DAL - Get Report) or United (UAL - Get Report). This is not a new thought, by the way: Every US Airways CEO for the past four decades has known that the airline lacks a hub big enough to assure it can keep pace with bigger competitors. Parker began trying to bulk up almost as soon as the ink on the US Airways/America West documents was dry. The 2006 attempt to merge with Delta might have been one of the wackiest merger efforts in history. I will never forget my amazement during a press conference where attorneys retained by US Airways assured reporters and analysts that the DOJ would approve, even though it was obviously anti-competitive and would have resulted in a single airline dominating both Atlanta and Charlotte, the only two hubs in the Southeast. Talk about eliminating competition on one-stop flights -- which is the basis for the DOJ complaint against the proposed merger with American. The vast majority of flights within the Southeast, home to about 80 million people, would have been on the same airline. On a conference call with reporters on Aug. 13, the day the suit against American/USAirways was announced, Assistant Attorney General Bill Baer was asked about previous airline mergers the DOJ had opposed. In his response, Baer commented on the 2006 bid for Delta, saying, "We were looking seriously at the hostile bid for Delta when that got abandoned

Changes to the Polish Gambling Act have broadened the array of payment service providers that Polish-licensed operators can use.
In October 2013, an amendment to the Polish Gambling Act came into force which changed the scope of permitted payment operators. Previously, any internet betting operator holding a valid Polish license could only receive and send money to and from bank accounts operated by:
Following the October 2013 amendment – which resulted from the implementation of Directive 2009/110/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 on the taking up, pursuit, and prudential supervision of the business of electronic money institutions, amending Directives 2005/60/EC and 2006/48/EC and repealing Directive 2000/46/EC – internet betting operators now have more flexibility. Namely, they can accept bets and pay winnings not only to and from bank accounts, but also with the use of payment accounts kept by:
In practice, this change means that as long as a domestic or EU payment institution or electronic money institution is authorized to operate a payment account in Poland (e.g. through a subsidiary, branch, or directly based on the freedom of service principle), any internet betting operator is permitted to use its services to accept bets from customers and/or to pay out winnings.
Taking into consideration the popularity of using electronic money to pay for goods and services on the Internet (and advantages such as the immediate transfer of funds or the security of traditional bank account/credit card details), the amendment should considerably facilitate betting over the Internet and encourage more users to place their bets in this way.
Furthermore, the amendment has created an opportunity for domestic or EU payment institutions and electronic money institutions to offer their services to Polish internet betting operators.

Doppelmayr (North America)
Key people
|Mark Bee, President
Doppelmayr is an aerial lift manufacturer based in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Saint-Jérôme, Quebec, and a subsidiary of the worldwide Doppelmayr Garaventa Group. The North American company was formed in 2001 after the merger of Garaventa of Goldau, Switzerland, and Doppelmayr of Wolfurt, Austria.[2] Its only competitor is Leitner-Poma. Between 2001 and 2010, the company was named Doppelmayr CTEC.
CTEC before merger[edit]
CTEC, which stands for Cable Transportation Engineering Company, was the successor to Thiokol, a company which built 41 ski lifts between 1971 and 1977.[3] By 1977, Thiokol had decided to stop producing ski lifts and sold their designs to two employees, Jan Leonard and Mark Ballantyne.[4]
CTEC's first lift produced as an independent manufacturer was at Seven Springs Mountain Resort, Pennsylvania, in 1978.[5] Leonard oversaw engineering at the company's Salt Lake City facility while manufacturing was performed in Sacramento, California, where Ballantyne worked.[4] CTEC slowly grew to become one of three major lift manufacturers in North America along with European-owned Doppelmayr USA and Poma of America. In 1989, CTEC partnered with Von Roll to build its first detachable chairlift at Solitude Mountain Resort, Utah.[6]
From 1990 onwards, CTEC used detachable grips built by the Swiss company Garaventa. In 1992, CTEC and Garaventa merged and the new company was named Garaventa CTEC. Prior to the merger, Garaventa had built only a few lifts in North America, including Aerial Trams at Snowbird, Utah, and Squaw Valley Ski Resort, California. The combined company utilized the designs and manufacturing facilities of CTEC since Garaventa never had much of a presence in North America besides supplying parts to CTEC. CTEC's growing reputation combined with the European ownership and parts supply of Garaventa allowed it to win contracts for large lifts such as the Gold Coast Funitel at Squaw Valley, Placer County, California, gondolas at Telluride Ski Resort and Vail Ski Resort, and Steamboat Springs Ski Resort in Colorado, and Deer Valley, Utah, .[7] In 1999, Ballantyne left the company to form a window and door distribution company but Leonard remained president.
Doppelmayr USA before merger[edit]
Doppelmayr was a world-renowned Austrian ropeway manufacturer that began exporting surface lifts to North America in the 1950s under the name "Alpine Lift." The first Doppelmayr chairlift in North America was installed at Marmot Basin, Alberta, in 1968.[8] Doppelmayr's first North American manufacturing facility in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec, opened in 1978.
Unlike its competitors, Doppelmayr used exclusively European designs in North America. The company built the world's first detachable high speed quad chairlift in 1981 at Breckenridge Ski Resort in Colorado.[9] As detachable lifts became increasingly popular, Doppelmayr's market share and reputation increased.
In 1996, Doppelmayr's European holding company purchased VonRoll, a Swiss lift manufacturer which had been making lifts in North America since the mid-1980s. More importantly, VonRoll owned Hall Ski Lifts, a domestic company that produced more than 400 lifts from 1960 to 1985. Doppelmayr now controlled all the spare parts sales for Doppelmayr, Von Roll, and Hall brand lifts.
Merger of Doppelmayr and CTEC[edit]
In 2002, Garaventa of Switzerland merged with Doppelmayr of Austria, forming the world's largest aerial lift manufacturer. The new company would be known as the Doppelmayr Garaventa Group in Europe and Doppelmayr CTEC in North America.[10] Consolidation resulted in the closure of CTEC's Sacramento manufacturing facility and Doppelmayr's Golden, Colorado, office. Functions were consolidated into an expanded Salt Lake City headquarters.
Starting in 2003, Doppelmayr CTEC produced a new line of products that combined the best designs of Doppelmayr and CTEC. The Uni-GS detachable chairlift terminal design was specifically designed for the North American market and incorporated elements of Garaventa CTEC's Stealth line and Doppelmayr's Uni line. Many of CTEC's fixed grip designs were kept. Today, manufacturing of fixed grip chairlift terminals and all tower tubes and chairs is done at Doppelmayr CTEC's Salt Lake City factory, while all line equipment and detachable terminals are made in the Quebec plant.[11] Jan Leonard, president of Garaventa CTEC became president of the new company, and Doppelmayr USA's Mark Bee became Executive VP.
After the merger[edit]
In 2003, the company installed its first UNI-GS detachable chairlift, the Panorama Quad, at Gunstock Mountain Resort in Gilford, New Hampshire.[12]
In 2003, the company was selected to design, fabricate, install and maintain the Portland Aerial Tram at a cost of $57 million.[13]
In 2005, the company purchased Partek, a small chairlift manufacturer based in Pine Island, New York. Also included in the purchase were Partek's rights to Borvig lifts.[14]
Jan Leonard stepped down as president of the company in October 2007 to start a new company, Skytrac Lifts. He was replaced by VP Mark Bee.[15]
In 2007 and 2008, Doppelmayr CTEC constructed two notable lifts at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia. The new tram at Jackson Hole cost $28 million and replaced the iconic original Jackson Hole Tram.[16] Whistler-Blackcomb's Peak 2 Peak Gondola is the largest lift of its kind in the world, breaking multiple world records and costing CDN $52 million.[17]
On January 1, 2011, the company dropped CTEC from its name to become Doppelmayr USA. Subsequently, chairlifts built since 2011 have utilized the Doppelmayr logo used prior to the 2002 merger.

Private building has been built on K.K. Nagar property; slum dwellers trespass
Before every election for the past decade, residents living around K.K. Nagar peripheral hospital have demanded that its services be improved.
The facility, under the control of Government Royapettah Hospital (GRH), was opened in 1979 and has a dedicated labour ward. However, the hospital refers women to the Chennai Corporation-run maternity centres in Kodambakkam and Shenoy Nagar.
According to S. Arumainathan, a resident of Virugambakkam, pregnant women in low income groups are beneficiaries under a government-sponsored cash scheme for new mothers that they can avail of at the Corporation-run centres. The scheme is not in operation in K.K. Nagar peripheral hospital.
Nearly a decade ago, a proposal to develop the facility as a trauma care centre was mooted, but the government has not yet approved it. Earlier this month, residents protested in front of the hospital after a patient alleged that he was denied treatment.
On Tuesday, residents will stage a road blockade to press for their demands. One of their complaints is poor maintenance of the hospital.
The hospital authorities, however, are grappling with several issues. A private building has encroached on the property. In April last year, a resident sought details about the building, under RTI, from the Public Works Department. The reply stated the land the building stands on has not been leased out by the government. The official further informed that there had been no complaint from hospital authorities about the presence of the building.
To a query about action against the encroacher, the reply stated that the hospital was the responsibility of PWD, health and revenue departments and no action had been taken against the encroacher. There was no threat from any politician either, the reply had stated.
"The government is aware of the issue. We often find the well and even the roof of the hospital being misused. People throw plastic covers into the toilets. They steal water pipes and even the concrete cover from the drainages. Slum dwellers have trespassed into the hospital land and are causing all the problems," the hospital assistant engineer said.
The hospital recently constructed a compound wall around the well on its premises to prevent further misuse.
According to some PWD officials in charge of the hospital's maintenance, the case pertaining to the private building is now in the Supreme Court. "We don't know what decision the higher authorities have taken," said an official.
The superintendent and the resident medical officer of GRH said they were unaware of the issue as 'the file has not come' to them.
Up until Monday evening, efforts to reach the secretary and chief engineer of the PWD were futile.

SATA controller driver issue?
Likes # 0
Posted February 19, 2012 at 2:04PM
Hello folks Apologies for oncoming ramble, but hope it's relevant and will aid understanding of my thought process. I have an issue that's been ongoing on my desktop pc for quite some time now. The pc boots into windows profile page(XP SP3) reasonably quickly, but then once a profile is entered, the desktop background appears but no system tray or short cut icons anywhere for anything between 1 and 7 minutes. I've run all my security stuff on numerous occasions (MBAM, Spybot, AVG Free, Adaware free, ccleaner etc) and they have occasionally found the odd scrap, but nothing of any significance and nothing that has improved matters on removal. Mostly they come back entirely clean and find nothing at all. I found a reference on an Adaware forum today, where a member had exactly the same symptoms as me. I looked there as I noticed that Adaware was pulling 50% CPU usage whilst waiting for the desktop to load. And whilst this person did get advice from Adaware and also AVG to disable Adaware Live, it transpired that his issue turned out to be an IDE controller driver. I've just checked mine, although I have SATA not IDE, and Windows is showing an error against my controller in computer manager. I have a SATA HDD, but it shows up as SCSI and the error it displays in device status is "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)" Any suggestion please on how I can correct this? Thanks

Been struggling with it all morning with no success, then as soon as I post here I find a reference on the net that seems to have had some effect. Firstly, I am totally incorrect in assuming the SCSI controller was my SATA HDD, it isn't. My HDD is being controlled by Nvidia SATA controller.
I found some advice on a similar issue being caused by remnants of Daemon Tools Lite, which I had trialled some time ago, and later uninstalled. The advice was to check for a specific driver left by Daemon, in Sys32, which was indeed there. Once the driver was removed, I disabled and uninstalled the iffy SCSI controller and rebooted. Reboot was much improved and iffy controller is no longer there.
Hopefully resolved and waste of a long ramble. ;o) I'll leave unresolved for a while pending further trials.

Day 2 of the EHL Round 1.1 event at RC de Polo de Barcelona produced four excellent matches, with Atlétic Terrassa, Grunwald Pozan, H.C. Rotterdam and Waterloo Ducks all recording wins.
Atlétic Terrassa overcame strong resistance to eliminate CA Montrouge of France thanks to a 4-2 victory. Spanish international defender Xavi Ribas scored from a penalty corner shortly after Montrouge had taken the lead, before strikes from Pere Castello and Ignasi Freixa gave Atletic a 3-1 lead. Montrouge came back into the game when livewire midfielder Matthieu Durchon found the net before Sergi Enrique sealed victory for the Spanish champions.
Ireland's Glenanne were forced out of the competition at the hands of Grunwald Poznan, going down 6-1. Patrick Petrykowski opened the scoring for Grunwald, before Szymon Hutek extended the lead before the end of the first period. Goals from captain Tomasz Dutkiewicz, Hutek, Artur Mikula and Pawel Bratkowski gave Grunwald a 6-0 lead before Glenanne grabbed a consolation goal from Jonathan Cane.
Phil Burrows and Marc Schwarz scored two goals apiece in Rotterdam's 6-1 triumph over Kelburne, giving the two time EHL semi finalists the perfect start to this year's competition. For Kelburne, the result meant elimination from the first round of the competition for the second successive year.
That match was followed by a closely fought encounter between Russia's Dinamo Kazan and Waterloo Ducks of Belgium, with Waterloo emerging 3-1 winners thanks to late goals from Xavier Brooke and Maxime Tys. The result meant that Dinamo Kazan were forced out of the competition at the first hurdle.
The action continues on Sunday with four matches that will decide the all important issue of which teams will take the first qualifying position in each Pool, ensuring that they will avoid a group winner in Round 2 of the competition. Spanish giants Atlétic Terrassa take on Reading HC of England in Pool B, which is followed by a tasty looking encounter between Poland's WKS Grunwald Poznan and UHC Hamburg of Germany. Pembroke Wanderers and H.C. Rotterdam then go into battle in Pool G before the in-form tournament hosts RC Polo face Waterloo Ducks of Belgium.
