Prime time gay-themed drama alarms bishops
MANILA, Philippines—GMA 7 has dared to tackle homosexuality on prime time TV via its drama series "My Husband's Lover," and the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) is not amused.
The CBCP, through its Episcopal Commission on the Youth (ECY), on Tuesday called for "more sensitivity" in the handling of an already sensitive subject matter.
In a report posted on rappler.com, the commission's executive secretary, Fr. Conegondo Garganta, pleaded with TV producers and writers to carefully study themes explored in their shows, and consider the impact of those themes on young viewers.
"My Husband's Lover" is about the romance between two men, one of whom is married, with children.
Garganta said producers of programs such as this one should "keep in mind that our culture values morality."
In a statement sent to the Inquirer on Wednesday, the network acknowledged CBCP's "scrutiny," but pointed out that the program deals with "real-life situations."
The statement, signed by corporate communications consultant Butch Raquel, insisted that the series was being presented "with utmost prudence and good taste."
In any case, GMA 7 vowed to comply with the standards of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) that gave the program an SPG (Strong Parental Guidance) rating.
Raquel took the opportunity to cite the show's "high ratings" in its first two weeks, and thanked viewers for their support.
For now, the network seems to have found an ally in the MTRCB.
In a text message to the Inquirer, MTRCB Chairman Eugenio "Toto" Villareal said the SPG rating meant that the network was "subject to compliance with the law," but that it was allowed self-regulation.
Villareal, however, said the public—parents especially—could "invoke the board's jurisdiction," should they catch "inappropriate" scenes that might defy the SPG rating.
Malacañang echoed this in a reaction to Garganta's call. The Palace urged parents to immediately report to the MTRCB scenes in the series that they would find objectionable.
Raquel rallied another sector, viewers of the show who conduct "intelligent discussions… in all forms of media," promising them that the network would continue to produce "relevant" programs.

MIAMI -- For the first time in more than four years, Miami Heat center Greg Oden played in a regular-season game.
Oden had not suited up since Dec. 5, 2009, against the Houston Rockets, when he injured his left knee in the first quarter. In total, it had been 1,502 days since Oden last played in a game.
But that changed Wednesday night when Oden came off the bench against the Washington Wizards. Wearing No. 20 and with both knees heavily wrapped, Oden entered with 6:03 remaining in the first half and made an immediate impact: He had an offensive rebound, a dunk and a foul in his first 30 seconds.
By halftime, Oden had two dunks, two free throws and a pair of rebounds. The Heat were getting blown out when he stepped on the floor, but he helped trim a 34-point deficit to 21 at halftime.
Oden started the second half -- he said it was to keep him from getting stiff -- and played four more minutes before sitting for good. His final line: eight minutes, six points, two rebounds, 2 for 3 from the field and 2 for 2 from the free throw line in a 114-97 loss.
"Earlier today, coach said I could dress," Oden said after the game. "I didn't know if I was going to play or not, but I got out there and I did, and I'm happy I got the chance.
"It felt good, just being able to be back out on the court. Honestly, the big thing is, to be able to have now that connection now with my teammates. I've been here, I've been around, but when you're not playing, sometimes deep down you don't really feel part of the team as much. I'm happy I can do that."
Part of his eight minutes of action included a dunk off a LeBron James pass.
"I had no idea he was playing, actually, until he was getting dressed and I saw he had his knee brace on," James said. "I was like, 'Oh, you active?' And he was like, 'Yeah,' so I was very excited. ... Obviously in a short amount of minutes tonight he was pretty good for us."
The Heat listed point guard Mario Chalmers (Achilles tendinitis) and forward Chris Andersen (knee soreness) as inactive for Wednesday night's game.
The activation of Oden came on the heels of a three-team trade in which the Heat sent reserve center Joel Anthony, a lottery-protected 2014 first-round pick and a future second-rounder to the Boston Celtics. In the deal, the Heat received backup guard Toney Douglas from the Golden State Warriors, who acquired guards Jordan Crawford and MarShon Brooks from the Celtics.
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said there was "no real relation" between the Anthony trade and Oden's status.
Heat president Pat Riley, meanwhile, gave a rare interview before Wednesday's game and said Oden was "in uniform." Riley then backtracked and said it was up to Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, who indicated that a decision hadn't yet been made on Oden's playing status.
Eventually, the Heat decided to give it a go.
"He's been working very hard," Riley said. "He's really progressed."
Oden was happy to be back but disappointed with the outcome.
"Very good, very good," he said of his return. "But you know, I wish we could have won. That's the most important thing."
Oden was seen in the locker room pregame with an ice pack on his left knee before going through a pregame workout.

She's back, better than ever and will be "your keeper for life."
In her first video since becoming a new mom, iconic Canadian singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette trades her famous "Jagged Little Pill" angry rock vibe for a more maternal and mellow tune in her new music video "Guardian."
In a clip that begins in monochrome and slowly shifts into what seems like a burst of healing warmth, light and colour, Morissette sings on a Berlin rooftop equipped with a set of angel wings and eventually brightens the children and parents she is watching over.

"This video is a tip of the hat to Wim Wenders' 'Wings Of Desire,'" the 38-year-old says. "The full circle poetry of my having written 'Uninvited' for its remake (1998's 'City of Angels,') combined with my love of the original movie, combined with my love of Germany, having lived there for three years as a child, combined most importantly with how this video is such a visual extension of the song 'Guardian,' which is so close to my heart... it was so much fun to make it in Berlin!"
She also says, "I think it really shows how the parent/guardian angel role are linked... how, ultimately, a powerful inner parent calls upon a spirit to guide her/his choices on the loved ones' behalf... whether it is for a child, a friend, or an inner child... this love and this grace is available to everyone."

After welcoming a baby boy named Ever Imre with her rapper husband Mario 'Souleye' Treadway in 2010, the Ottawa native began blogging about her battles with post-partum depression and her experiences with being a new mom.
Experiences that seem to have heavily influenced the content and creation of her upcoming album, "Havoc And Bright Lights," as she tells Rolling Stone, "To be honest I wrote it post-partum the whole few months after my son was born, so I barely remember the process."
She also said, "It was in our home, and we built a makeshift studio in what is now the playroom because I'm an attachment parent, so I wanted to be able to breastfeed. So it was literally in and out of this room, writing with Guy Sigsworth, recording, being a mom, back and forth in my house. I barely remember it and I wouldn't say I was letting loose, but I was having fun."
Look for "Havoc and Bright Lights" to debut in Canada on August 28 and head here for more on Morissette's journey.
Check out Morissette in the studio and talking about the creation of "Guardian" in the clip featured below.

You can quantify Chip Kelly's success in his first season as coach of the Philadelphia Eagles in any number of ways, and we'll get to some of them shortly. But with winter descending upon wild-card weekend, the best place to start is the snow.
A blizzard dropped several inches of snow on Philadelphia during the Lions-Eagles game in Week 14, making for a delightful TV-viewing experience but a miserable first two quarters for both offenses. At halftime, Kelly's prolific attack had produced 90 yards and zero points.
So what did he do about it? Casting his ego aside, Kelly scrapped his game plan. Instead of the usual dizzying array of east-west motions and running plays, the Eagles rushed right at the Lions – often without using the shotgun, a staple of Kelly's scheme.
Tailback LeSean McCoy ended up rushing for a team-record 217 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-20 Eagles victory.
"Some of the adjustments we make in games are awesome," tight end Brent Celek told reporters afterward. "The way Coach Kelly has the faith in us to do those types of things is big. Guys appreciate it."
Kelly has brought a lot to Philadelphia. A space-age, no-huddle offense that set franchise records in several statistical categories. Innovative training methods that have made the Eagles' injury report one of the least populated in the league. A knack for getting the best out of quarterbacks no matter their skill set.
But perhaps the biggest factor in the turnaround Kelly helped engineer – lifting the Eagles from worst to first in the NFC East and into a wild-card game against the New Orleans Saints on Saturday – is what Celek referenced: trust. The players believed in Kelly from the beginning, and he in them – even when the Eagles started 3-5.
"One of the things we talk about – really, the only thing we talk about – is we are mentally and physically tough, we don't make excuses and we work hard, and they stuck to that," Kelly told reporters this week. "When you're 3-5 and you have a plan … you can start to question the plan, and these guys didn't.
"We all made mistakes, but we owned our mistakes. And I think when you own up to your mistakes, then you can correct them."
Kelly hasn't made many missteps since leaving Oregon for Philadelphia a little less than a year ago. Maybe he should have started quarterback Nick Foles from the get-go, instead of injury-prone, inaccurate Michael Vick, but that's like critiquing the Liberty Bell for the crack that runs through it.
Here's a sampling of what the Eagles accomplished during the regular season under Kelly:
• Improved their win-loss record from 4-12 in 2012 to 10-6.
• Set franchise records for points (442), net yards (6,676) and touchdowns (53).
• Became the second team (1998 San Francisco 49ers) to accumulate 4,000 passing yards and 2,500 rushing yards in a season.
• Became the first team to have a quarterback with a 100-plus rating (Foles, 119.2), a 1,500-yard rusher (McCoy, 1,607) and a 1,300-yard receiver (DeSean Jackson, 1,332).

My wife and I visited Venice for 2 nights and the b & b Rialto was superb the only down side was getting there if we were told to get the water taxi and the locatation to get off that would have spared some stress walking through the windy and narrow streets to find but once we arrived the accommodation and surrounds were beautiful we recommend the restaurant around the corner over a very quaint bridge.

Our host Luciano made every effort to ensure our four day stay was pleasurable. Sharing a bathroom with other guests was not as daunting as one might imagine. Location is great with easy access to markets and transportation. While the bustle of activity outside can be noisy at times the view was unrivaled. I would stay here again.

Credit has to be given to Michael, the manager, who is most helpful and friendly and very tidy and neat person. The place is kept impeccably perfect and Michael is always ready to help,with any issues one has. The accommodation is very convenient and fronts the Grand Canal and within 10 steps of the market and very central indeed.

Very good location. close to everything and not far from airport. Nice terrace to have breakfast or just a coffee which is all provided for self help. The host Michael is very helpful but disappears during the day. So any questions ask when you check in. Good free WiFi. Fully equiped kitchen so can cook a meal if you want to. Shared bathroom is no problem as there are only 2 rooms sharing it. Only comment I would suggest is that coffee is not available for breakfast if it is used up at previous day time. A couple of ordinary salt and pepper shakers would also be handy, as there was only 1 salt grinder. Apart from that. Excellent!

This was by far one of the nicest, most welcoming places we have ever stayed in. Location was excellent, on the the Grand Canal right across from the Ca' d' Oro but still very peaceful. Michael was an excellent host tending to our every need. When we arrived, we were even upgraded to the suite with private bathroom etc. great surprise. The complementary sparkling wine on new years eve was also a very nice touch. The breakfast basket was great as we could take this with us while exploring the city and have a picnic. We would recommend this to anyone visiting the breathtaking city of Venice!

If we are ever able to revisit Venice we will definitely stay at the "Bed & Breakfast Rialto". It is,as stated, on the Grand Canal just a short walk from The Rialto Bridge. Our room was spacious and appeared to be very close to being new constuction. I understand the building was built in the 1600's, but you will never know it from the interior of your room. The young man who maintained the place was very freindly and very helpful.

We stayed in one of the guest rooms that used the shared bathroom and found this to be no problem for the two nights we were there. The room is a typical European size room with a double (queen in USA) bed, TV, and a wardrobe in the room. The bathroom is across the hall from the two rooms that share it. You do have to use a stairway to access the rooms, there is no lift due to the age of the building. The breakfast consisted of a tray of refrigerated items (milk, juice, cheese, yougurt, etc.) and a bowl of pre-packaged non-refrigerated items (croissant, bread, snack cakes, jam, muffin, etc.) each day. Cereal and fresh fruit were also available. There was plenty of food and we ended up having breakfast and a snack from it each day. There was also an espresso maker available at all times. The hotel was located right next to the market on the Grand Canal, but in general we found this location quieter and less travelled (less touristy) than others throughout the city. The B&B was very convenient to all the landmarks (5 min from Rialto Bridge and 15 min from St. Marks area), and a vaporetto stop was 2 min walk away. We really enjoyed it and would definitely stay here again.

Drop City Yacht Club ft. Jeremih - Crickets
Artist: Drop City Yacht Club
Featuring: Jeremih
Producer: Kristo
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 10 votes )
Fresh off inking a major deal with A&M/Octone, THX, A. Wolf and Kristo are no longer the music-game equivalent of first-year students. Thus, the Golden State crew have traded in their old moniker, "The Freshmen," to the more upscale "Drop City Yacht Club." Name change aside, the trio don't plan on switching up their style now that they're in the big leagues. Rather, they're going to do the same dope sh*t, only bigger. This freshly-released update of May 2012 single Crickets is a case in point. Retaining all the elements that made the cut a hit with our readers when first we featured it, the record receives an extra dose of pop appeal courtesy of heavyweight hookman Jeremih (replacing original guest Allen I). A stylish lyric video by Don Tyler rounds out the package. This rendition of Crickets is set for inclusion on a forthcoming free mixtape from the Yacht Club. Keep it locked for further details on the project, which as yet lacks both a title and a drop date.

Lions Face Extinction in West Africathe daily dish
Fewer than 250 adults may be left in West Africa, and those big cats are confined to less than 1 percent of their historic range.
Thinkstock1 of 3
Thinkstock2 of 3
Thinkstock3 of 3
The new study, detailed in the journal PLOS ONE, suggests that without dramatic conservation efforts, three of the four West African lion populations could become extinct in the next five years, with further declines in the one remaining population, study co-author Philipp Henschel, the lion program survey coordinator for Panthera, a global wildcat conservation organization, wrote in an email. [In Photos: The Biggest Lions on Earth]
Top 10 Camera Trap Wildlife Photos
The majestic lion once roamed throughout West Africa, from Nigeria to Senegal.
But as people have converted wild lands to pastureland, hunted the lion's traditional prey - antelopes, gazelles, wildebeest, buffalos and zebras - and gotten into conflicts with the animals, the big cat population has plummeted in West Africa.
Cash-strapped West African governments have put little money into lion conservation, in part because "wildlife tourism is quasi-absent in West Africa," Henschel said.
And research institutions have similarly neglected the region.
"Like wildlife tourists, most international research institutions and conservation organizations active in Africa also flock to the iconic game parks in East and southern Africa, meaning that lions faced a silent demise in West Africa over the past decades," Henschel told LiveScience.
Massive Survey
To remedy that, Henschel and his colleagues recently completed a massive, six-year survey of West Africa's lions, using remote cameras, interviews with people and counts of lion tracks. The survey, carried out between October 2006 and May 2012, builds on a smaller study done last year, which found shrinking savannas for lions in the region.
About 400 adult and juvenile lions existed in the region. And the wild cats, which were originally thought to have inhabited 21 separate regions, actually exist in just four. Their range is now confined to pockets in Senegal, Nigeria and the borderlands between Benin, Niger and Burkina Faso.
These isolated populations are also threatened due to reduced genetic variation.
"Individuals are limited in their choice of mates, and end up reproducing with closely related individuals. Such inbreeding reduces the genetic fitness of sired offspring, which, in lions, manifests itself in lower reproductive success caused by lower sperm counts and higher rates of abnormal sperm in males," Henschel told LiveScience.
Endangered Status
To keep the lion from going extinct in Africa, governments and conservation organizations should boost budgets for conservation parks and personnel, to keep people from killing the lions' prey or the big cats themselves, Henschel said.
Half Of Africa's Lions May Go Extinct In 40 Years
The International Union for Conservation of Nature currently lists the lion as vulnerable in Africa. The West African lion is not considered a different species, so it is rated as regionally endangered, Henschel said.
But recent studies suggest the West African lions are genetically distinct from their brethren in other regions of the continent and are closely related to Barbary lions of North Africa and the few Asiatic lions left in India.
The genetic findings, combined with the dire survey results, suggest the West African lion should be listed as a critically endangered subspecies, or at the least, as a regionally critically endangered animal, Henschel said.

Its more important the world has outta control over-populating of Africans, than of the Animals that were also God's Creation. Just joking. Its sad. Mankind has robbed the environment of the animals. As if we need another Billion Africans.

Mostly, it's a matter of NOT enough land & resources for ALL the wildlife and ALL the people. Constantly climbing human population has cut wildlife "reservations" by more than half worldwide, in the last 20-30 years. There are now over 7 Billion people on this planet, and if the human race keeps increasing at the current rate, the only places people will be able to see these majestic creatures, will be in Zoos, IF they're lucky!January 11 2014 at 2:08 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

You are right and this is not only happening in Africa. It is still happening in the U.S. There is still fighting going on in the west over the re-introduction of the wolf. The ranchers still want to kill them all off as they did a hundred years ago. Americans still haven't learned from their errors. Look what we did to the buffalos. They have been re-introduction in a small number. I wil dare to approach a touchy subject - I think the world needs to think about human limitation on the number of births. There is only so much space on this world.January 11 2014 at 3:21 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
why do we do this crap? Who do we as a so called \"human race\" think we are. Laws that are on the books should be enforced, Why are the hunts even legal?

This will be the first time that Sajid will be missing from an episode of the dance show. As far as we know, there's never been any trouble between Sajid and Salman, so wonder why Sajid has chosen to stay away. Meanwhile, the episode that will be dedicated to Salman will have the contestants dancing to his songs. It remains to be seen if Salman will give marks to the contestants as that will truly make him the judge on the show, even if it's only for one episode!

Re: HMS Bounty in trouble...
Re: HMS Bounty in trouble...
The concept you are discussing is known in the law as "proximate cause" - whether there is a legally recognized causal connection between the breach of a duty and the damages caused.
What you fail to realize is that the captain is responsible for the reasonably foreseeable consequences of his inexcusable decision to set sail toward the likely path of a hurricane.
There exists the unlikely possibility that some superseding, intervening cause resulted in the death of this young woman. For instance, if she died from food poisoning on board and just happened to stumble overboard just as the ship was sinking, or if the Navy accidentally bombed the ship as part of aerial bombing practice, then the captain's asinine decision to take to sea may not have been the proximate cause of her death. There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever supporting a superseding, intervening cause of death.
On the other hand, if she died because the ship lost a plank or the bilge pumps failed or the engine failed or she was hit by a loose life raft on deck, those would all be events that inexorably follow from the failure of the captain to exercise prudence in his decision-making. It is reasonably foreseeable, in fact likely, that mechanical failure during a storm on that ship would result in a sinking an a loss of life, even though such mechanical failure in calm conditions would cause no permanent harm. It is reasonably foreseeable that a ship like the Bounty might founder and capsize in gale or hurricane conditions, so the captain who put the ship in that position will be held responsible for all consequences not due to a superseding cause.
People are responsible for the reasonably foreseeable consequences of their failure to live up to their duties as reasonably prudent people, in this case, a reasonably prudent professional captain. A reasonably prudent professional captain of a ship like the Bounty does not set sail in the face of an impending, unpredictable hurricane. The estate of "Captain Hurricane Chaser/"There is no such thing as bad weather" and everyone responsible for employing someone with knowledge of his apparent lack of judgment will now be responsible for all reasonably foreseeable consequences of his negligence, including the death of this woman. That seems perfectly fair and just to me.
Some of you apparently do not embrace that concept. Some on this listserv refuse to accept the responsibilities of a ship's captain. Your passengers and crew do not assume the risk of your faulty decision-making just because taking to sea is risky venture. When you assume responsibility for other's lives by commanding a boat, you are required to be PRUDENT - which means wise, judicious, careful, cautious and discreet. You have no legal right to gamble, play the odds, and take risks with other's lives at stake. If you do not like that legal liability, then sail solo and do not summon rescue forces
There is no rush to judgment. No further investigation will ever portray this captain as wise, careful or cautious, given what we already know about his decision-making in the circumstances. We are not required to search for a superceding cause to exonerate him. This is very simple: he put the boat in harm's way and harm resulted.-James Wilson
Guilty as charged no need to investigate and further says Judge Dred of Sailnet

GDP rise not enough to make dent in jobless rate
Still, he isn't willing to go on any shopping sprees, even though he and his wife have secure jobs in an art department at a marketing company.
What would it take for consumers to boost their spending much higher and help catapult economic growth?
Analysts say employers would need more confidence that sales will rise enough for them to ramp up hiring and raise workers' pay. Shoppers need to be able and willing to borrow more. And Americans need to rebuild more of their household wealth, especially equity lost from home values that tanked during the recession.
Few people expect any of those things to happen quickly. Many economists think it will take until at least the middle of the decade to lower the unemployment rate to a more normal 5.5 percent to 6 percent range.
"How will consumers behave in terms of spending in the coming months? On a scale of one to 10, I'd put it at a four," said Richard DeKaser, president of Woodley Park Research.
DeKaser and others predict increases in consumer spending will slow to a rate of around 3 percent in the second and third quarters. That's respectable. But it falls far short of how much consumers spent coming out of the deep recession of 1981-82.
The first quarter's reading on GDP was a tad shy of the 3.4 percent growth rate economists were forecasting. GDP measures the value of all goods and services - from machinery to manicures - produced within the United States. It is the best gauge of the nation's economic health.
Companies helped boost GDP by restocking inventories shrunken during the recession. Their first-quarter spending on equipment and software rose at a brisk 13.4 percent pace, after an even bigger 19 percent growth rate in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Exports grew at a slower pace in the first quarter. Imports rose much faster - reflecting stronger demand by U.S. consumers. That meant the nation's trade deficit dragged on GDP in the first quarter. Slower export growth probably reflects less demand coming from trading partners in Europe because of the debt crisis there, analysts say.
Troubles in the real estate market slowed economic activity. Builders trimmed spending on housing projects after two quarterly gains. Spending on commercial real estate plunged at a 14 percent annual rate, the seventh straight decline.
The federal government increased spending at a 1.4 percent pace, but state and local governments continued to trim, a trend that analysts expect will continue for years.
Despite its weaknesses, the U.S. economy appears to have turned a corner. Employers are creating jobs again - a net total of 162,000 in March, the most in three years. Manufacturers are boosting production. Consumer confidence is higher.
And a rising number of companies - from Ford, Caterpillar and Whirlpool to UPS, Estee Lauder and Royal Caribbean Cruises - are seeing profits grow. General Electric says the "clouds are breaking" after having suffered one of its worst years in 2009.
Economists in a recent AP Economy Survey predict the economy will gain some speed, growing at a rate of 3.7 percent in the April-to-June quarter.
Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS Global Insight, bumped up his second-quarter forecast to a pace between 4 and 4.5 percent, up from 3.7 percent. Zandi, another survey participant, is sticking with his forecast of second-quarter growth slowing to around 2.5 percent.
For 2010 as a whole, economists in the AP survey predict the economy will grow 3.1 percent. That's an improvement from the 2.4 percent decline in 2009, the worst since 1946. But much stronger growth in the 5 percent range is needed to drive down the unemployment rate.

If you want to know more just ask :p Life began for me the morning of February 21st 1989, while a Caesarean section was being performed on my mother. This probably explains why I am a little stubborn. My estimated birth date was supposed to be on Valentines day, although that did not pan out I am still happy to be here. I have grown up in many parts of Jamestown, as well as a lot of different places in Utah. I'm a New York native and currently live in Jamestown. My last name is Irish and French Indian decent and starts with a silent k. For example, knight, or know. My background consists of Irish, French Indian, and Black-foot through my father.

Furious woman wrecks McDonald's Florida branch
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – Workers at a McDonald's branch in St. Petersburg, Florida have posted a video of a naked woman rampaging inside the fast-food restaurant.
They claimed the incident happened last March 24, 2014.
The more than 2-minute footage, which was uploaded on YouTube last April 8, 2014, has so far drawn 126,453 hits.
The woman was seen wrecking electronic cash registers at the counter, banging her head onto the counter and emptying the contents of a refrigerator and an oven.
The CCTV footage also showed the woman placing her head under an ice cream dispenser, gulping down the sweet frozen food and smearing her face.
Police have arrested the woman soon after her rampage.
Meanwhile, Britain's Daily Mirror reported: "Police allege Suarez (name of the nude woman) became angered after a restaurant worker turned down her offer of sexual favours in the car park at the branch in St Petersburg, Florida."
It added that "the workers who posted the video were later sacked as bosses claimed the footage was released "without authorization."

Gaddigoudar likely from BJP, Congress yet to pick candidate
The incumbent MP of Bagalkot Lok Sabha constituency, P.C. Gaddigoudar, has emerged the strongest contender among ticket aspirants in the Bharatiya Janata Party for the coming elections. Given his standing in public life and popularity, his re-nomination is expected to be a certainty.
Though the party is yet to announce its official candidate for the coming elections, it is generally believed in Bagalkot that Mr. Gaddigoudar is the only choice for the BJP, more so after he won two successive elections. If Mr. Gaddigoudar secures the party ticket again and also registers victory, he would be the first BJP MP of Bagalkot district to record a hat-trick.
Meanwhile, it is learnt that the former Minister, Murugesh R. Nirani, is reportedly making efforts to secure ticket with the help of his mentor and former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa. His name has been shortlisted, but it is highly unlikely that he can beat the claim of Mr. Gaddigoudar.
With reference to the Congress, indications are that the party is going through a tough time in identifying a candidate since there are far too many aspirants keen on contesting. Prominent among them is the former Minister, Ajaykumar Sarnaik, who lost to Mr. Gaddigoudar in the last elections to the Lok Sabha in 2009.
The other aspirants include Devaraj Patil, a Kuruba leader of the district, and District Congress president M.D. Soudagar. Both of them are reportedly trying to lobby for the ticket with party leaders.
It should be noted that with no other political party having a major presence in Bagalkot, the electoral battle will largely be a direct contest between the Congress and the BJP. Looking at their respective strengths, the BJP is expected to rely on the clean image of Mr. Gaddigoudar and the palpable Modi factor in the constituency.
Being the ruling party in the State, the Congress believes that it has an edge, and this is reflected by the number of aspirants seeking Congress ticket. Of the eight Legislative Assembly constituencies in the Bagalkot Lok Sabha constituency, the Congress has seven elected members. Besides, the district also has two Ministers — Umashree and S.R. Patil. All these add to the strength of the Congress in this constituency.

Really, I earned my Eagle in 1961. I know of no Eagle young or old that would buy into global warming. CO2 is a byproduct of heat and not the other way around. Climate change has little or nothing to do with mankind; we haven't been on Earth that long. We are able to react to climate, but we cannot change the climate.<quoted text>
Sorry, this American born, taxpaying, Christian schooled, Eagle Scout, who worked for Newt Gingrich is the poster boy for all things American. Now other than you being another gunshow gloryh0le kook seeing commies hiding behind every tree, what else are you absolutely clueless about? It's funny how everyone who is smart enough to see past lame rightwing propaganda like the new Red Scare 2.0, is a "Liberal". The truth is, I know much more about the hoops you mindlessly jump through than you do and I can tell you from working behind the scenes, the GOP conservatives are a bunch of deviants who think they know what's best for everyone. We'll let the elections sum up what REAL Americans think of that.
Now if you are done with your fantasies of everyone being a commie, shouldn't you "patriots" get back to turning on your own country because you lost and that mean old black man is in your white house? Or what most voting Americans like to call....treason.
I have much mistrust in your comments, not.

Allegany, New York man, Glen Avery, runs 56 Mile Marathon in South Africa and is one of a Handful of People who Have run Marathons on all 7 Continents.
Glen Avery is known to many as the "marathon man" for his completion of marathons on all seven continents. Avery achieved yet another feat on June 3, 2012: the 56-mile Comrades Ultramarathon in South Africa.
Houghton, NY (PRWEB) June 21, 2012
Glen Avery ´76, technology librarian at Houghton College, is known to many as the "marathon man" for his completion of marathons on all seven continents. Avery achieved yet another feat on June 3, 2012: the 56-mile Comrades Ultramarathon in South Africa.
Avery accomplished the brutal endurance event in 11:55:27. The finish cut-off for the event is 11:59:59.
Approximately 14,500 people started the race and about 11,800 finished, according to Avery. The event was 89 kilometers (56 miles) long, progressing from Pietermaritzburg in the mountains to Durban on the Indian Ocean. Avery first attempted this event in 2007, but withdrew at the 47-mile mark.
"89 kilometers (56 miles) is a very long way. Running and powerwalking that distance is an energy allocation problem that required my mind to monitor my body almost constantly and to calculate when and how much to eat and drink, and how much effort to exert at any one moment," shared Avery. "I said often to myself during the event, ℠I am running with my mind; the legs are just along for the ride.´"
The thoughts and prayers of many friends and supporters also kept Avery going. "I chose to make this ℠our race´ rather than ℠my race.´ I did not want to fail them."
The Comrades Ultramarathon is deemed one of the most challenging endurance events in the world, due primarily to the strict time cutoffs at various points in the race and the 12-hour limit at the finish. The hilly terrain and the wide fluctuation in temperature and humidity add both physical and mental difficulty.
Avery ran a conservative and smart pace, passing about 920 people after the 17-mile mark.
"I am proud to have gone back to South Africa and conquered this event. I love the country and I love this event that is so historically important to its people. One of the few Americans to have ever completed the Comrades, I now have a bond with South Africans that will endure forever."

Bets back 'bundy clock' for solons
MANILA, Philippines—Senatorial candidate Risa Hontiveros on Tuesday said she agreed with the suggestion that lawmakers be made beholden to the bundy clock like most workers to solve the problem of absenteeism among legislators.
Hontiveros, a former House party-list member, said the lawmakers clocking in "could be a great equalizer" that would put powerful lawmakers in the same situation as ordinary wage earners who must submit to salary deductions as a result of habitual tardiness and absenteeism.
Benigno Aquino IV, the youngest of the administration Team PNoy candidates, has proposed that Congress impose fines that would increase with every succeeding unexcused absence.
'Time-in time-out' system
"Our students have, in effect, a 'time-in time-out' system. Our workers and employees also go through this system. So this policy even in our legislature could be a great equalizer," Hontiveros told a news conference at Team PNoy headquarters in Makati City.
"Our workers… if they are absent or late, their pay gets affected. Why not let our legislators go through the same? They are also working people," she said.
Hontiveros and Aquino were asked about the issue of absenteeism that has affected most legislative proceedings, particularly with regard to important bills. Absenteeism and the resulting lack of a quorum in the House of Representatives has been widely blamed for the continued nonpassage of the freedom of information bill.
"If students get kicked out of school after several absences or if workers who don't report for work don't get paid, why are our lawmakers held up to a different standard?" Aquino told the same news conference.
Aquino also expressed the hope that Sen. Franklin Drilon, the Team PNoy campaign manager who has been repeatedly introduced in campaign sorties as the next Senate President, would support the idea.
"I also hope that Senator Drilon, whom we expect would lead the Senate at some point, would adopt this policy of imposing fines on absentee congressmen and senators," he said.

It's no surprise that one of the biggest stars of this year's SEMA show is the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The C7 Corvette appears seemingly everywhere you look at the Las Vegas Convention Center, with a host of tuners using the sports car as their canvas.
Of course Chevrolet is also heavily promoting the Stingray, and several interesting models can be found at the brand's extensive SEMA booth. One of the more relaxed variations on the C7 theme is the Gran Turismo Corvette, a vehicle that reflects the tie-in between Chevrolet and the upcoming video game Gran Turismo 6 for the Sony Playstation. The Gran Turismo Corvette is finished in an electric blue with yellow-highlighted headlights and decals advertising its digital roots. The car also features a mild body kit, which makes use of carbon fiber as an added accent to the Stingray's already menacing looks.
Chevrolet has also stoked a friendly rivalry between the East and West coasts with the Corvette Stingray Pacific and Corvette Stingray Atlantic concept cars. Surprisingly – give the climate – the Corvette Stingray Atlantic is a convertible model. Designed with cruising in mind, the Atlantic is equipped with an automatic transmission. The Pacific is more performance-oriented, starting out with the Z51 Package's host of go-fast upgrades. Both cars dip extensively into the Chevrolet accessories catalog in the form of various aesthetic improvements.
It's a little unusual to see Chevrolet not offering any ultra-high-performance editions of the Stingray at its SEMA booth, preferring to leave the blown-and-stroked-versions of its iconic coupe to the aftermarket to show off. This could indicate that the Bowtie brand doesn't want to steal any of the thunder from the upcoming Z07 model, or the next-generation of the Corvette ZR1. Given the potency of the standard edition of the Corvette Stingray, it's reasonable to expect that the Z07 will at the very least make some of the SEMA crowd more than a little jealous when it finally breaks cover.

Is It just me or have other subscribers to PCAdvisor Magazine noticed that the Magazine has started to appear on the shelves of the local supermarkets before they are posted out to subscribers at least to me anyway? Both Morrison's and Tesco have the July issue on sale and I have still not received my copy and this is not the first time this has happened.

Not just PCA - I've noticed a couple of magazines I subscribe to are arriving later.
I think this is probably down to Royal Mail rather than the publishers...

Whilst I recognise that two Bank Holidays in a row (and probably a further reduction in the number of days we get deliveries of post anyway - yes, I know Royal Mail will deny breaking the rules) it is very obvious that PCA is arriving later.
I had wondered if this may result from the years when PCA was getting issues out some months in advance (e.g. June's issue arrived late March/early April) and there was now an effort to bring it back into line a bit. I do remember a thread mentioning the production cycle some time ago, but what the result was I simply can't bring to mind.
Still I have hopes that July's issue will arrive sometime soon.

Dissection of a Galaxy
May 19, 2004
Sometimes, the best way to understand how something works is to take it apart. The same is true for galaxies like NGC 300, which NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has divided into its various parts. NGC 300 is a face-on spiral galaxy located 7.5 million light-years away in the southern constellation Sculptor. This false-color image taken by the infrared array camera on Spitzer readily distinguishes the main star component of the galaxy (blue) from its dusty spiral arms (red). The star distribution peaks strongly in the central bulge where older stars congregate, and tapers off along the arms where younger stars reside. Thanks to Spitzer's unique ability to sense the heat or infrared emission from dust, astronomers can now clearly trace the embedded dust structures within NGC 300's arms.
