Party plans to target specific sections of voters through the use of film stars' services
Jayasudha, Jeevita to be asked to attend meetings of thrift groups and women
Party may ask actor Srihari to tour the Telangana districts
HYDERABAD: The State Congress leadership is gearing up to use cine glamour to the maximum extent in the next elections to woo different sections of people.
Instead of the routine practice of using the services of film stars just for campaigning, the Congress poll managers are planning to specifically target sections of voters using film stars. Krishna Mahesh Sena, the umbrella organisation of fans' associations of Krishna and his son Mahesh Babu, are training the fans under the guidance of the AP Film Development Corporation Chairman and Krishna's brother G. Adiseshagiri Rao.
Favourable response
Two such meetings in Khammam and Visakhapatnam have evoked good response. The Sena is targeting to rope in 50 lakh members to campaign for the party. Sources said that actors Jayasudha and Jeevita would be asked to attend meetings of thrift groups and women in districts to ensure their support.
Similarly, the leadership has intensified efforts to keep its Dalit vote bank intact. It has decided to utilise the services of 'Karunamayudu' fame Vijaychander, who became a star for his role as Jesus Christ in the film. The party is keen to capitalise on his image.
"The Congress has always been striving for the uplift of Dalits and what is wrong in using Vijaychander to canvas for the party among Dalits, particularly Christians," a senior APCC leader reasoned. The party is toying with the idea of persuading popular star Srihari to tour Telangana districts, where he has a good following.
Party confident
Actor Rajasekhar might be asked to concentrate in North Coastal Andhra to contain the influence of Praja Rajyam president Chiranjeevi and his brothers. Congress leaders are confident that more than a dozen actors, including well-known comedians, are likely to come out in support of the party.
The recent meeting of actor Rajendra Prasad with Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy is seen as an indicator of his willingness to join the Congress. Senior leaders said actors would be given specific subjects/issues after an orientation programme in November first week.

Every cyclist should carry a pump with them when cycling. Thankfully modern technology has enabled pumps to become smaller and lighter but still able to supply enough air to inflate tyres. Mini pumps offer convenience as well as punch as they can deliver impressively high pressures, needed for road tyres. Most mini pumps are small enough to fit in the rear jersey pocket while the slightly larger ones are supplied with a mounting bracket which fits underneath the bottle cage keeping the pump secure and out of the way. Most are both Presta and Schrader valve compatible but some are low volume for mountain bike tyres or high pressure for Presta valves only so please check manufacturers recommendations before purchase. Merlin Cycles staff will happily answer any compatibility questions so if you're not sure about your current valves or need any advice please contact us.

|Of course, with this birth having been unplanned unassisted, we get a lot of comments. I am fairly open about that as well. We think it was awesome and cool, though we'd have preferred our friend and midwife to be there. But it really was just not that big of a deal.
|but didn't think it was some massive heroic deed. Just normal. And natural.

One question I have heard repeatedly is:
I was on a conference call with a client team and my team. During a break we couldnt help but hear the client team talk about one of our team members in a derogatory way. What should we have done?
Put a stop to the problem as quickly as possible. The leader of your team immediately should say, Tom, I dont think you are aware of it, but unfortunately, we can still hear everything your group is saying. Yes, its embarrassing and even difficult to do. But the alternativeletting the other group continue with their trash talkingis much worse. There will be apologies, and it is best to simply acknowledge the apologies and move on.
This is a situation that comes up repeatedly in discussions with businesses about conference call problems. Its embarrassing for the people listening to the derogatory comments, and, as soon as they find out about it, it is really embarrassing for the people making the comments. When on a conference call, assume that the mute button is not working and that the other parties can hear everything you have to say. It may even be valuable for you to caution your team before starting the call that everything being said can be heard.
Other tips for a successful conference call include:
Be aware of time zone differences. One time I was going to be on a conference call with people in Singapore. They called me Monday evening. I wasnt ready for the call because I thought it was scheduled for Tuesday evening. It was Tuesday in Singapore, but it was still Monday in Vermont.
Know who the participants will be. It is hard enough identifying people just by their voices when they introduce themselves. Having a list of participants helps you remember who is on the call.
Try to be in same room with teammates. Have your team gather in a conference room rather than each person being on a separate phone in their own office or cubicle.
Set your Do Not Disturb button so your phone doesnt ring in the middle of the call.
When the call starts, check that everyone can hear each other.
Have each person introduce him/herself at each location.
Identify yourself before speaking: This is Jim in the Waltham office.
Announce five or ten minutes before the end time that the call will end soon.
Prepare and distribute minutes of the call detailing important discussions or decisions and identifying any to-dos that have been assigned and when they are due.

MUMBAI: The rupee appreciated sharply by 52 paise to end at a two-week high of 48.20/21 against the dollar on Monday as the weak U.S. currency overseas and strong equity markets powered its bounce-back.
The dollar dropped to a six-week low in early trade on the London Exchange after equity markets surged on hopes of encouraging earnings.
In fairly active trading at the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee moved in a range of 48.18 and 48.56 after resuming stronger at 48.52/54 a dollar against Friday's close of 48.72/73.
Cutting short a two-day losing streak, the rupee rallied to touch a two-week high of 48.18 in afternoon trade as the dollar fell sharply against the euro.
Dealers said the rupee drew support from buoyant equity markets, raising expectations of increased capital inflows in the second half of the calendar year.
Fresh signs of recovery in the economy also aided rupee sentiment.
The Reserve Bank of India, however, fixed the reference rate for the dollar at Rs. 48.43 and for the euro at Rs. 68.59.
The rupee premiums on the forward dollar firmed up further on sustained paying pressure from banks and corporates.
In cross-currency trade, the rupee declined against the pound sterling to end at Rs. 79.68/70 while it recovered against the euro and the Japanese yen. — PTI

Samajwadi Party MP Rewati Raman Singh will be quizzed on Monday by Delhi Police in connection with the cash-for-vote scam even as investigators are trying to trace the money trail in the alleged bribing of BJP MPs ahead of the July 2008 trust vote.
Investigators are also preparing to question BJP MP Ashok Argal, who was allegedly given the bribe money, and BJP leader L.K. Advani's former aide Sudheendra Kulkarni this week before police submit its status report to Supreme Court this Friday.
The probe in the three-year-old scam gathered momentum last week after Supreme Court came down heavily on Delhi Police for its "callous" investigations in the case and two persons -- Amar Singh's former aide Sanjeev Saxena and BJP worker Suhail Hindustani -- were arrested.
Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh, who BJP alleges was behind the efforts to bribe its MPs, was also questioned after Saxena and Hindustani named him. Singh, however, denied any involvement in the scam.
"We have issued a notice to Rewati Raman Singh to appear before us on Monday. We also plan to question Argal and Kulkarni before we submit the status report to Supreme Court.
If something new comes up, Amar Singh may be called for questioning once again," a senior police official said.
However, sources said, Amar Singh may be called again only after the status report is filed in the Supreme Court.
Asked about the questioning of Rewati Raman, the 68-year-old Samajwadi Party MP, the official said they will ask him about the telephone call he received from Hindustani on the midnight of July 21 and 22.
Police had already given a virtual clean chit to Rewati Raman and others saying it was Hindustani only who tried to approach them for striking a deal for MPs to vote in favour of the UPA government.
Keywords: cash-for-vote scam, Rewati Raman, Delhi police, investigation

Gone are the days when the term 'curated' was associated to organizing art shows in museums and art galleries. Today, the term is being extended to organizing a flea market too. Take for example, The Lil Flea is a series of pop-up stalls that will be curated by different individuals across various categories that will see some of the city's creative professionals under one umbrella for two days. There will be 75-80 pop-up shops selling all kinds of things from clothes to accessories to home decor and furniture to quirky gifts. This will be supplemented by 20 food pop-up shops with curated food ranging from top chefs to experimental cuisine by home chefs to street food. There will also be a host of fun workshops where people can learn how to make dream catchers, or hula hoop dancing or baking, jewelry making or pottery.
This will be further supplemented by around 7-8 up and coming song writers and musicians who will be performing at different slots like Clayton Hogermeer, Ayush Shrestha, The Filter Coffee and more. One of the highlights of The Lil Flea will also be its pop-up cafe which will not only have a host of food stalls but also a lounging space where visitors can relax and listen to live music. The cafe will also screen in two slots during the day some award winning and acclaimed short ?lms which are being put together by The Shamiana Film Club.
And what's their reason for doing so? "The Lil Flea is our attempt to pay respect to creativity and also a way to get together on one platform Bombay's coolest artists, mavericks, outliers, designers, chefs and start ups to create a thriving community that can help make our great city's art & creative scene that much more happening," informs Priyanka Punjabi, co-founder of The Lil Flea, who is an MBA and a designer. The other co-founder being Alankar Jain, who is an ex IITian and an entrepreneur. The Lil Flea team consists of 10 full time people working for The Lil Flea. The team of full timers include IITians, MBAs and designers. They have been preparing for this for the first time for around four months, with active work starting since December 2013.
The intent of The Lil Flea team behind doing the event is to also give back to the society in a sweet way by using this platform to support a few social causes, with initiatives like garage sale for charity and an art auction for Dignity Foundation. The Welfare of Stray Dogs, a Mumbai-based organization, will have a stall with adorable little puppies for adoption.
WHEN & WHERE: April 5 to 6, 10 am to 10 pm, Reclamation ground, Bandra (W)

Cosentry Makes Inc. Magazine's 33rd Annual List of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies for Sixth Consecutive Year
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) OMAHA, NE -- (Marketwired) -- 08/21/14 -- Inc. magazine today ranked Cosentry, the leading Midwest provider of Data Center Services, to its 500|5000 list of the nation's fastest growing privately held companies for a sixth year in a row.
The Inc. 500|5000 list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy -- America's independent entrepreneurs. Companies such as Yelp, Pandora, Timberland, Dell, Domino's Pizza, LinkedIn, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 500|5000.
Cosentry continues to grow and capture market share within the Midwest. Recently, the company announced growing close to 20 percent through first half of 2014, and they acquired XIOLINK to expand into St. Louis and integrate the company's managed services capabilities into Cosentry's award-winning portfolio. Cosentry now operates in four Midwest markets with eight data centers, including Kansas City, St. Louis, Omaha and Sioux Falls.
"We are proud that Inc. magazine continues to rank Cosentry among the fastest-growing private companies," said Brad Hokamp, CEO, Cosentry. "This prestigious list validates the strong adoption of our award-winning cloud and hosting products, data center capabilities, and comprehensive set of managed services." The 2014 Inc. 500, unveiled in the September issue of Inc. is the most competitive crop in the list's history. To make the cut, companies had to have achieved a staggering minimum of 942.6 percent in sales growth. The Inc. 500' s aggregate revenue is $15.2 billion, with a median three-year growth of 1,828 percent, generating 23,000 jobs over the past three years. Complete results of the Inc. 500|5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.
"What surprises me, even though I know it's coming, is the sheer variety of the paths our entrepreneurs take to success, thematically reflecting how our economy has evolved," says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. "This year there are far more social media and far fewer computer hardware businesses than there were, say, six years ago. But what doesn't change is the fearsome creativity unleashed by American entrepreneurship." The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring all the companies on the list will be held from October 15 through 17, 2014 in Phoenix. Speakers include some of the greatest entrepreneurs of this and past generations, such as Michael Dell, Martha Stewart, host of the CNBC show "The Profit" Marcus Lemonis, Container Store Founder and CEO Kip Tindell, and Chobani Founder and CEO Hamdi Ulukaya.

Writing—and publication—remains a crucial component of success for faculty at a research institution. Yet faculty find little support for accomplishing their writing goals. The Center for Writing's recent Summer Hunker events have created time, space, and community in order to sustain and support faculty in their writing endeavors. At this roundtable, past Summer Hunker participants will share what they have accomplished as writers and what they have learned in the process, hoping to help you—their colleagues from across the campus—find more writing success.
This event is part of the University's celebration of the 2010 National Day on Writing.

What a bitch..Fuck Chung
Its about time,
Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker Thursday confirmed to MMAWeekly.com that his middleweight champion, Cung Le, has booked another major motion picture role and will relinquish his belt.
Now that Cung Le is out to he way, Jake Shields vs Jason Mayhem Miller will fight on Nov. 7th for the belt. Heres what Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker had to say,
"I had a conversation with Cung and he has a lot of respect for Jake and Jason, and he's got another movie coming up, so he's asked me if he could step down, which we're going to honor his request … By no means does that mean he's going to be retired, but he's going to be unavailable for the next two months"
" he continued. "Now that he's not going to be our title holder, we'll put him in some big super fights and continue his MMA career, but not have the pressure of defending his belt when he has movie opportunities."
This move opens the way for Strikeforce to build a new champion, whether it be Jake Shields or Jason Mayhem Miller.
Headlining the Nov. 7th Strikeforce card will be "The Last Emperor" Fedor Emelianenko taking on Team Bison's Brett Rogers. The venue of the event has yet to be announced, but there are rumors it will be at the Sears Center Arena in Chicago.
What a bitch..Fuck Chung
I don't blame him for taking the movie.
But he's still an asshole for holding the belt hostage
for all this time only to give it up now.
shields will be the champ. cung should have fought a few more times and then made the movies. he's getting too old to make a comeback if he waits too long.
too old for a comeback ? you mean like Tito …Coleman …Tank Abbot….Shamrock …Lidell ? lol
too old for a comeback ? you mean like Tito …Coleman …Tank Abbot….Shamrock …Lidell ? lol
It'd be sweet if Miller got the belt, only to have it taken away by Tim Kennedy in a rematch between the two.
"Their are rumors it will be at the Sears Center…"??? Their? Their? Are you in Third Grade? Maybe Bob Arum's blasting of MMA, its fans, and the world around MMA – including illiterate blog writers – is justified and we are the morons he says we are. THERE are rumors, ya idiot. At least pretend you're a journalist and use spell check.
Choker555: Haha cut poor cage some slack.
He doesn't ever speculate or create rumors Like mmabay.
He isn't pompous and full of himself like sherdog.
(Loretta hunt, that's all I'm sayin').
He's just a guy who likes to report news.
So what if his blogs have spelling and Grammatical errors.
If the public School system in America did a better job and paid teachers enough to give a shit the point would be moot.
Miko: blame blame blame. Don't blame the teachers. I think if you write for a living, at least write on a ninth grade level. Know the difference between "their" "there" and "they're". It's not that hard. (But maybe it's the white man keepin' me down!)
@Choker555 If you are so concerned about grammar, go to a writing blog. This is a informal MMA blog. GRAMMAR LESSON are NOT allowed.
Now back to MMA

Señor Piñera Goes to Santiago
Chile elects a conservative president.
7:00 PM, Jan 24, 2010 • By JOHN LONDREGAN
Sebastián Piñera's victory last week marks the first time in over half a century that Chileans have elected a conservative as their president. It also marks the successful conclusion of Chile's transition to democracy.
Like adolescents embarrassed by their parents Chilean voters have for years complained about the increasingly corrupt and incompetent center-left coalition governing their country. But, like the adolescent that can't bring himself to decamp from the family basement and actually head out on his own, Chile's voters suffered a perennial failure of nerve at the moment of actually casting the ballot that would emancipate them from their familiar but venal government. On January 17, they packed the proverbial stereo, the magic cards, and the contents of their coat rack into the back seat of their aging Dodge Colt and finally struck out into the world on their own.
Twenty years ago the picture was very different. In 1988 the military government held a plebiscite on its continued rule and lost! What's more, it admitted that it lost, and in the subsequent elections Chileans chose a left of center coalition called the Concertación that excluded the Communists, but ran the gamut from the Socialist party to the left-of-center Christian Democrats. In a case of "midnight judges" that makes John Adams seem like an amateur, the military left behind a government well stocked with independent judges, auditors, policemen, and others ready to pounce on signs of corruption in a civilian government they little trusted. During its early years, the Concertación coalition decided to leave the laissez-faire policies of the military government in place. Left to their own resources, Chileans did what free people do best: They worked hard and made mostly good choices. As if by magic per capita incomes rose briskly.
As Chileans grew their economy, the Concertación focused on winkling the independent judges and auditors out of their institutional shells, replacing them with Concertación cronies, and occasionally, and very much by accident, with other independent-minded auditors and judges. At each election the Concertación drifted to the left: from socially conservative Christian Democrat Patricio Aylwin in 1990 to socially "progressive" Christian Democrat Eduardo Frei in 1994, to "decaf" socialist Ricardo Lagos in 2000, to "house blend" socialist Michelle Bachelet in 2006.
Over time, as the threat posed by independent auditors waned, corruption grew, economic freedom was attenuated, and the rate of economic growth slowed from an impressive pace to a mediocre one. To deflect attention, the Concertación invoked the former military government at every turn. Whether the discussion was about education or transportation or yet another scandal, the Concertación could be depended upon to retreat like an injured squid behind an inky cloud of denunciations of the former military government.
The last years of the Concertación were characterized by increasingly squalid policies and politics: Bridges collapsed, a public railway project was left to decay before it was ever finished, the education minister was impeached for refusing to account for her agency's budget, and a multimillion-dollar transportation fiasco called the TranSantiago replaced a private market system of mass transit that ran in the black with a public one that entails longer commuting times and requires an ongoing subsidy. Government agencies were directing money to be used by campaign workers, crime rates rose, and on, and on.

Recent Grass Valley Reviews
Thanks so much!
Want to thank Justin and Aldo for their hospitality and for providing us with their delightful house to enjoy during our stay in Grass Valley. The house is a spotless, well-equipped, and wonderfully quiet retreat. Thanks again.
Coziness without being cramped
Pros: This home was a phenomenal getaway for my whole family! I easily towed my 30' trailer down their well maintained private driveway. The property manager was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. My kids loved the toys and books in the house. My daughters spent hours watching the geese and ducks while throwing rocks into the lake. Each morning we enjoyed our coffee while we took the roughly 1/4 mile walk around the lake, it was a peaceful and gorgeous way to start the day. I appreciated the level trail and well maintained bridges for my small children and the older members of our group. Cons: The house is a little tough to find and feels very secluded.. Other than that, It's going to be hard to convince my kids not to come back every vacation!
Beautiful, relaxing family friendly retreat
Our family chose the Rausser Ranch for our annual "camping" trip. We have 5 siblings and all of us have children, and some have grandchildren. Our ages ranged from 10 months to 80 and we were all comfortable and relaxed throughout our stay. If you leave the windows in the bunk-room closed during the day and the fans on you hardly notice the lack of A/C. The home is built very well and is comfortable throughout. There is only 1 bathroom in the main house which is where the majority of the sleeping accommodations are but we were able to share the other 3 that are on the property easily so it was only a minor inconvenience. The cottages worked well for families with small children for napping and quiet time. Our days were spent at the pond fishing (the children easily learned catch and release and fished from sun up to sun down), swimming, playing on the water trampoline, zip lining, row boating or just relaxing on the grassy areas near the water. Nights were spent grilling and sitting around the fire pit making s'mores, star gazing and catching up. We went white water rafting with American River Recreation on one day and while it was a once in a lifetime experience, I would have loved one more day at the ranch. We had planned on sight seeing and hiking but chose instead to stay at the ranch and play. The caretaker, Don was warm and welcoming upon our arrival and gave us a tour with directions on how to use everything and explain the "rules". The rules are simple to follow and pretty common sense stuff. He visits a couple/three times a day and his dog, Blue quickly became part of the family. Don knows the area well and can recommend many area attractions and places to go. The screened porch was the perfect sleeping area for the high school/college aged boys and they enjoyed being able to have some time away from the adults and their own space. I doubt we will be pitching a tent anytime soon as we plan on making this our new yearly get together spot as long as we can. We all giggle when we talk about our "camping" trip as we still call it. Can't wait for next year.

Great adjustability
This stand is actually pretty handy it's adjustability makes it easy to put any bike in what ever position is convient to do the job you are doing. The only problem I ever had is I would try to move the bike to another position at times the legs would close, however a couple of bolts in to the legs where they contact the rest of the stand solved that
stand it up
good heavy duty stand easy to adjust . bit on the heavy side but it wont tip over ,quality built will last for years

Evening all! I have had a diary in mind since I saw Rachel Maddow's incredible show the night after the election, using her list of simple truths which tend to 'stump' Republicans as a take-off point. I am incredulous that they think the problems their party faces can be fixed through messaging. To me it is abundantly clear they failed because of the disconnect between their words and their actions. News report after news report speaks in terms of Republican 'soul searching' after their dismal results. The answer is fairly obvious to us ... no matter where they look, they're not going to FIND a soul. It is what is missing from their platform and position on the issues, it is what is missing in their politicking, it is what is missing in their broader relating in society. Their inclination is to tweak their 'message.' That if the message is compelling enough, women and blacks and Hispanics and teens are never going to notice the unlimited ways in which Republicans screw them and undermine them, denigrate and disrespect them, while casting their votes for hypocrites and two-faced manipulators with clever 'message.'

Witness Romney's rationalizations that he is a loser because of Obama's 'gifts,' completely undermining his pre-election walkback of his hideous (but TOTALLY honest!) 47% video.
Or William Bennett's simplistic (and denial-filled) election analysis, wherein he says:
We must counter the discourse and speak and educate in terms of family, faith, freedom, principle, values, work, country, community, improvement, growth, and equality of opportunity. No longer can the Republican Party be solely the party of business. Who controls the terms of discussion, dialogue, and education controls the country and, therefore, the election.Message, message, message. Never substance, never considering actually trying to HELP, to address the very real problems facing our nation and our people. They fail because their ONLY interest is in acquiring power, not in governing. Never in governing to help the people.
It's time for Republicans to take it back. This will require much work and time, but there is no more important business.
Or look at McCain's meltdown today, when confronted with truth to power.
Because I have the right as a senator to have no comment and who the hell are you to tell me I can or not?After all, he is a US Senator! We serve HIM, right?! HE is the important one, not us. He is owed answers, he isn't responsible for providing them, for informing the people, for being ACCOUNTABLE. What a dick. It seems he isn't clear on why and how he lost in 2008. And in the years, months, weeks, days and hours since. Like he lost today.
Here is just an excerpt of Rachel Maddow's incredible words on that fateful night. PLEASE do yourself a favor and read them ALL! Or watch video of that show. She hit a home run. Grand Slam. World Series Sweep. Rachel Maddow, 2016. I could do that without reservation!
Ohio really did go to President Obama last night.You go Rachel!
And he really did win.
And he really was born in Hawaii.
And climate change is real.
And rape really does cause pregnancy sometimes.
And evolution is a thing.
And Benghazi was an attack on us.
It was not a scandal by us.
And nobody is taking away anyone's guns.
And taxes have not gone up.
And the deficit is dropping, actually.
And Saddam Hussein didn't have weapons of mass destruction.
On to tonight's comments! Graciously compiled and formatted by brillig, my personal favorite Kossack!
::blush:: That was hands-down my favorite Rachel Maddow (or possibly anyone's) piece EVER. Blew me away with it in content and delivery. As does beninSC with his diaries, too.
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.
From Gentle Giant:I nominate this comment by cactusgal in today's (Thursday's) Cheers and Jeers. The conversation steered to plagues of locusts and cactusgal had this to offer.
From brillig:In Hunter's diary John McCain has meltdown when asked why he didn't attend Benghazi briefing, lgmcp counters McCain's assertion that how he spends his time is unquestionable.

The longstanding tussle over water-sharing between Haryana and Delhi is far from over. Haryana's sudden decision not to release an additional 80 million gallons of water a day (MGD) through the recently completed Munak Canal has upset Delhi's plans.
Unable to get Haryana to relent, Delhi has now gone knocking at the Centre's doors.
Sources told The Hindu on Monday that a meeting was chaired by the Union Cabinet Secretary on the issue earlier this month, which was followed by a meeting of the Chief Secretaries of both States. The issue is now expected to be discussed at a higher level.
"A meeting of very senior officials of the Central Government is likely to be held soon. Though it is yet to be scheduled, the matter could even be handed over to a Group of Ministers," said sources.
Referring to the differences between the two States, sources said: "It has been a very difficult situation for Delhi. The canal was constructed by Haryana with money that Delhi released. All along it was understood that the canal that has cost upward of Rs.315 crore will bring an additional quantum of water for Delhi. Now that the canal is complete, Haryana has put a spanner in the works. It claims that there is no mention of 80 MGD of water to be released to Delhi in the memorandum of understanding signed by the two States. Haryana wants Delhi to make do with what will be additionally available to it (the quantity that was otherwise lost to seepage)," said sources.
Funded by Delhi
The 102-km canal was built by Haryana between the Haryana border and Haiderpur in Delhi to cut down water losses due to seepage.
The multi-crore project ran into bad weather when construction work was halted because of delay in obtaining clearance certificates from the Centre for removal of nearly 7,000 trees that fell on its banks.
"Delhi has been banking on the Munak to ease its water woes. The additional 80 MGD was meant for the Okhla and Bawana water treatment plants (20 MGD each) and 40 MGD for Dwarka. Delhi has always reasoned with Haryana that its demand for water is for drinking purposes, therefore there cannot be any compromises. Haryana's own drinking needs are far less than their irrigation requirements. Also, Delhi being the national Capital, the other States are required to show more commitment towards the city's needs," sources said.
Keywords: Haryana, Delhi, water dispute

Delightful House for extended visit
The home is laid out well with a spacious master bedroom on the first floor overlooking the garden. The kitchen had everything a cook needed. The living room was very comfortable with a wonderful wood stove.
Everything in the home was new, clean, and well-cared for. I highly recommend
this property for a relaxing vacation in San Cristobal.
Home away from home
For those cool San Cristobal evenings the house is equipped with a wood burning fireplace which I enjoyed on a few evenings while reading one of the many books on the bookshelf collection.
The beds are very comfortable with plenty of linens and warm blankets. There are also plenty of bath towels in the linen closet.
Overall this is a wonderful house where you can enjoy everything San Cristobal has to offer while feeling like you are in your own home. I plan on returning to this Casa in the future.
I really enjoyed the house. I had come to think of this lovely comfortable place as home and I was sad to leave.
Activity and Interests
San Cristobal and the surrounding towns are beautiful and rich in people, culture and history.

I had mastitis and continued to nurse. In fact, my doctor encouraged me to nurse as much as possible to help it clear up. But I didn't have a reinfection like you did, so perhaps that's why you've been advised not to. Did they say that you could not go back to nursing at that breast ever?

Rotted Frames on Bounty
The witness, Todd Kosakowski, looked at Coast Guards evidence # CG-41: a series of 29 photographs he had taken of Bounty during its most recent yard period. Mr. Kosakowski the lead shipwright and project manager for Boothbay Harbor Shipyards - was in charge of the last maintenance project ever to be done on Bounty.
The pictures were of rotted frames and fasteners (trunnels) he found under the planking during repairs. Kosakowski told NTSB investigator Captain Rob Jones that he believes 75% of the framing above the waterline on Bounty may have been rotten, but that the ships representative in the yard, Captain Robin Walbridge, declined any further search for rotted wood. He convinced Kosakowski that they would make the repairs before their next Coast Guard hull inspection. The final witness of the day and the discussions of the evidence was stunning to those of us in the crowd.
He had given the photos to the USCG Investigator back in December. That same Coast Guard investigator Commander Kevin Carroll was on the other side of the table today, asking questions.
Carroll: And you had a conversation did you tell Captain Walbridge?
Kosakowski: Yes.
Carrol: What did he say?
Kosakowski: He was also concerned. I told him I thought that he had to pick and choose his weather he said that he was terrified of what we had found.
Kosakowski said that he didnt voice his concerns to anyone other than Captain Walbridge of Bounty and his own boss, Eric Graves, telling Carroll, I believe that the owners rep is the extent of my debt to notify.
Looking around to see if anyone else looked as dismayed as I felt, I didnt have to look hard. What we were hearing from Kosakowski came at the end of a long day of testimony that painted a picture of maintenance and management of Bounty that was suspect at best.

Morning testimony by Miss Tracey Simonin the HMS Bounty Organizations Director of Shoreside Operations revealed confusion about the ships status as it related to tonnage certificates and maintenance management, ABS and USCG notification of repairs, and who may or may not be in charge of repair work aboard Bounty.
In July of 2011, at the urging of USCG Activities Europe and MCA, Simonin walked through a new Tonnage Certificate issued by ABS that set Bountys gross tonnage at 409. During a visit, MCA inspectors noticed a change to the ships construction specifically the removal of a tonnage opening that was not reported to ABS. The new assessment made the Bounty subject to SOLAS, and the HMS Bounty Organization appealed. A year later they changed the vessel back to its previous configuration and received a new tonnage certificate that brought them back down to 266 regulatory tons, but it would seem that for a year Bounty operated in violation of IMO regulations. Like so much of what Ive seen so far in these hearings, there are more questions than answers; Simonin answered I dont know, and I dont remember, frequently.
In Simonins defense, there was someone in the room better suited to answer the Commanders questions today, but Mr. Robert Hansen (seated in the front row) is asserting his fifth amendment rights and will not be testifying. Simonin did clear up a couple of things. We learned that the person who posted on Bountys Facebook page was Jim Salapatek. He not the captain was the one who posted that the voyage into the hurricane was a safe decision, that the Coast Guard had issued a UMIB (Urgent Marine Information Broadcast) for Bounty on October 28th but had rescinded it (they hadnt), and he did all of that from his home in Illinois. His connection to Bounty? His son, Drew (29) was crew aboard Bounty. How did he get his information? I dont know, said Simonin.
There was a break from strained testimony and nervous answers when Mr. Bert Rogers, the executive director of Tall Ships America, was called as a witness. Bounty was the star of the show at our events because of her star appeal and we featured her as a headliner vessel at our events, Rogers said. When asked about Walbridges competence, Rogers spoke well of the captain and his efforts over the past 17 years to turn Bounty around. He said complimentary things about Bountys crew and the ships relationship and value to his organization.
It was 20 minutes of good news about the ship and her performance from a respected and experienced leader in the tall ship community. And then Rogers the first experienced tall-ship captain to take the stand was asked by Carroll, Would you have taken her out into that storm? No, I would have sought safer harbor upriver. No one was surprised.
Carroll: Do you think the ship was safer at sea?
Rogers: I dont believe that a ship is safer at sea. It is circumstantial. There are cases where that is the example and cases where it is not.
Carroll: Is the crew safer at sea?
Rogers: That is absurd; they are of course safer in bed than at sea. But if you have to decide between crew safety and ship safety you would have to go to the crew.
Rogers left before he could hear Kosakowski recount the condition of Bounty and the rotted frames. He didnt hear about the Walbridges decision to wait until the next yard period to get into extensive repairs. He didnt hear about the shipwrights warning to keep the boat out of heavy weather. If he had, I wonder what he would have thought about those circumstances?
The last to question Rogers was the attorney for the Christian family, Mr. Jacob Shisha. The body of the Christians daughter, Claudine (42), was recovered by the Coast Guard on October 29th.
Shisha: In late October how many member vessels did you have on the Atlantic Coast?
Rogers: About fifty.
Shisha: How many made a decision to leave port in anticipation of Hurricane Sandy?
Rogers: None that I know of besides Bounty.
Take the article posted above with a grain of salt. Thats not to say the the testimony wasnt riviting and that it wasnt an example of the Bounty maintainence. The problem with the news media is just that the news media. The post for sensationalism
An example: Posted by Jon Eisenberg
The first time I weighed in about the Bounty sinking I said that if Ive learned anything in my career, its that speculation rarely lines up with facts. It turns out that facts rarely line up with facts, either. My own local paper The Virginian Pilot reported that Svendsen stated that he twice urged Walbridge to abandon ship before Walbridge agreed, and later in the same article report that Svendsen twice told Walbridge they should abandon ship before Walbridge agreed. The boat rolled before an orderly evacuation could happen, spilling crew members into the ocean. The Pilot left out that the time between his first urging and Walbridges agreement was two minutes. Sincerely there was a time for an orderly evacuation, and it was long before Svendsen first urged his captain.
I watched the live video feed for almost all of Kosakowskis testimony. Watched his face, voice inflections, etc, Curiously the reporter left out a few other questions of this man which went to his motives and potential covering of his ass thus challanging his testimony. Heres what the reporter left out. The shipwright Kosakowski was the project leader for the shipyard affecting the repairs. He stated he had 30 conversations with the Captain about the repairs and what he found. He continued to affect repairs of the areas he was repairing and mentioned 2 times to Walbridge that the vessel MAY have damage in other areas that he wanted to explore further.. He testified also he took a moisture metter in these areas and the results we negative for moisture. He also stated that he needed to remove the planking to be sure. he stated that he reported his finding only to his boss. The first time he was asked by the CG was anyone there to verify he told the Captain that he should take it out in heavy weather until this was checked. He said no. When he admitted he had talked 30 times to Waldbridge he was asked again incredulously by the CG Commander that not one of the times was anyone there. He back tracked and said there were and there were two occasions. He further remembered there were 5 people present both times. To me ( Rockdawg is also watching the video feed too that I know of) this mans testimony was a bit self serving and ass covering for further legal actions by the Bounty Company.
It is apparent to me so far and I want to reserve judgement until I hear everything, that one of the main problems with this vessels was the funds to repair her completely in one shot. The repair work which was done by the shipwrights appeared to be first class where they worked on her. Funding for these vessels to continue their upkeep are a continual problem.
Caveat- I am not speaking to the ssue of his leaving in a hurricane, but just to what we have heard so far.
If you have a moment try and spend some time on the live feed.

Police, Railroad Release Photo Just Prior to Derailment
By KWGS News
Tulsa Police have released this photograph of at least two people seen walking near the train tracks shortly before last week's derailment last Friday.
Burlington Northern Santa Fe is offering a $100,000 reward after someone tampered with a train's air brake system, causing a major derailment in Tulsa.
About 20 railcars came off the tracks causing millions of dollars in damage to trains cars, engines, tracks and cargo.
