As El Salvador's largest and most profitable bank, Agrícola has held up well against the country's
economic headwinds
Banco Agrícola is one of the few banks in the world
rated two notches above its sovereign. That standing, combined
with a large asset base, strong profitability and a sound
capital ratio, makes it a clear winner for Bank of the Year El
Salvador, an accolade it has held consistently since 2007.
"Banco Agrícola is number one by size, profitability and
resilience, by any way you want to measure it," says Fitch
director for financial institutions Edgar Cartagena.
Agrícola's profitability will continue

After months of deliberation, I have finally decided to quit my job at Drizzlin Media and work on something of my "own".
Category: Career
Unemployed in Delhi
Lord, thank you giving us the freedom of making choices so that we may plan our own lives.
It was about time I made some choices and stuck to them instead of jumping around like a wild monkey. With that intention, I had made the move from semi-rural Hapur to developed Delhi.
Its been four days since I shifted to the noisy, promising and ancient city. I've been roaming about like an unemployed duck looking for work to do and money to make. But I've been quite unsuccessful so far. Broadly, I want to:
1. Find a job (preferably part-time) as an internet marketing consultant in some company
2. Start working on my website more seriously
3. Tutor kids in Math, Science and English
4. Work on creating online math classes
5. Volunteer at an NGO.
These are the five areas of work which I want to involve myself in. Every single day. However, I still must admit that there is fear, doubt, uncertainty and a lack of aim as to what I want with my life. I really don't know where or what I see myself as five years down the line. Yes, my life is that out of shape.
I haven't found a job yet. Most of the openings that come through Naukri.com are in Gurgaon and I don't want to relocate that far from Delhi. I'm not working on my website as seriously as I know I'm capable of but I do try and write a little on it everyday and I'm tutoring one class 4 child in Math, Science and English. Today, I even found an NGO where I can volunteer at though how I'm supposed to be doing it, I have not the slightest clue. It's a non profit called the Uday Foundation and they primarily focus on improving children's health and rights.
I met a couple of people there today and the guy who was talking to me seemed enthusiastic and motivating. I hope the work will be equally rewarded. Like Sherlock Holmes, I want to find work where I work for work's sake and not for the money, fame or friends. It will take me time to reach that stage but at least I've started. It's better than sitting on my ass in Hapur and not doing much constructive stuff.
The only cautions which I must heed are:
1. Not get discouraged easily – This happened today. I went into some weird spell of disinterestedness and boredom smack in the middle of my conversation with the NGO guy and I had to snap out of it and maintain my focus. Again, when I sat down to write content for my website, I was highly demotivated and felt like giving it all up, felt it was futile. But again I had to remind myself that it was a valuable asset and it was my duty to take care of it. So I have to keep the momentum strong and inspired if I want to reach anywhere.
2. Not speak much but let actions show – I have to start becoming humble and modest about my affairs. I met a guy from college whom I've barely talked to earlier. He asked me what I was upto since college got over and I kind of started blowing my own trumpet. Later on, I felt like a cheap vain ass. And this has happened in the past so I need to keep away from such vain tendencies.
3. I must continue striving and keep my goals clear – All four actions above closely tie with my long term goals of working in the education sector
List of NGOs to Volunteer with in Delhi
I am currently unemployed, almost alone, and quite miserable in a big city. So I thought, why not dig up a list of NGOs, contact them, and volunteer at one of them to pass time, feel a little good, and contribute to something larger than yourself?
This is the list, of possible NGOs where I can volunteer:
- Teach for India, India: http://www.teachforindia.org/careers.php
- Save the Children: http://www.savethechildren.in/careers
- Uday Foundation: http://www.udayfoundationindia.org/volunteer-in-new-delhi-india/
- CRY: http://www.cry.org/joinus/careers.html
Only four decent ones that I could list. I'm quite certain there are plenty more but I shall contact these for now and see what happens.
Money – Do we give it more importance than we should?
Why do Indian parents force their kids into 'safe' career options when the country is witnessing a vast change in it's overall outlook? Why do they want their kids to go into careers which have 'several options' or where the 'scope' is limitless? Isn't this morally wrong – to impose one's own wishes on the kid?
I read somewhere that making each and every decision for your child has a lot of severe disadvantages which are often overlooked. A – It will severely affect your kid's ability to make decisions. B – There's a tendency to impose one's own wishes and desires which have not been fulfilled after one's own life has finished, on the kids.
If the kid wants to do something else, shouldn't they be allowed to do so? Especially after college when they are old enough to decide?
A friend of mine is fond of baking. Now baking as a career is definitely not the conventional career path that parents choose for their kids in our country. But if this person wants to bake for a living, if she loves this more than anything else and is willing to work hard at it, why not give her a chance?
I seriously feel that a majority of Indian parents have stopped having fun in life, they have stopped growing up. Especially in Delhi. After all, there is so much 'competition' in the world right? What will happen if they don't choose a high paying career? Money is so important right? Much more important than having fun in life?
We are born in this world as beautiful little creatures as babies. White, pink, soft and tender. As the years go by, we become old and old and old and old..and as we become old, we usually become unhappy about this and that. Critical and cynical about things in life, we try and enjoy whatever little we can. Why do people do this to themselves? Why can't I have fun all the time? Is it is necessary to be 'serious' so that we can face the competition and make big bucks? What if I don't want to? Why should I spend the day working like a log earning 2 lac per month salary when I'm content with making 20 grand a day?
22 Possible Career Options
When you don't have a job to go to, a class to attend or an exam to write…you're pretty jobless. Which is what I am. In sophisticated language, I'm taking a sabbatical.
For the last few days, I have been planning, scheming and cooking up ideas in my spare time, trying to figure out a meaningful career for myself. Fancying creating a creative business of my own, earning my millions and enjoying the good life. I have yet to get my definition of 'a good life' right. I have thought about this before too. I was brainstorming some ideas and this is what I came up with:
My list of top 22 possible career choices after Graduation
- Scientist.
- Engineer.
- Mathematician.
- Finance/Investment Ninja.
- Indian Civil Services Officer.
- Police Inspector.
- Responsible Politician.
- Corrupt Politician.
- Writer.
- Full time Blogger.
- Film maker/Script writer.
- Social Entrepreneur.
- Business man/Industrialist/Corporate Honcho
- Start a Think Tank.
- Waste Recycling.
- Green/Alternative Energy Sector.
- Travel Journalist.
- Confused, Job-Seeking, Just-Another-Cog-in-the-blood-sucking-corporate world Worker Ant.
- Drug Peddler/Hippie/Guitarist/Magician/Astrologer.
- Organic Farmer.
- Spiritual Guru.
- Bhajans Organizer{Mandli} (There's shitloads of money in this, in case you're wondering whether I've lost my mind.)
- Scientist, Engineer, Mathematician and think tank – I dont't think I have the required skills and qualifications to make it big with these in India. Perhaps I could collaborate with people who are most passionate in these areas.
- Finance is a little boring. It's only about money. I'm not that greedy right now. Plus it requires tons of math and I'm recovering from a math overdose. But the money is good.
- IAS and Police and Politics..Hmm..Will require tons of studying and hard work. I don't really know why I would want to get into this..money and power I guess. Plus I doubt if I have the shrewdness to survive as a politician. But the money is freaking good!
- Writer/Blogger – Most probable option since I can write legibly and have some experience in the industry. Money is average. I can survive if I live minimally.
- Industrialist – Nah. There are way too many polluting industries in the world right now. We need something effective to counter that.
- Waste Recycling/ Green Energy/Organic Farming: Quite a possible choice. Plenty of demand and scope. We desperately need to cultivate sustainable living habits. Will require plenty of science and engineering and money though. Let's file this away right now.
- Travel Journalist/Filmmaker/Script Writer/Drug Peddler/Hippie/Guitarist – My parents will lose it if I talk about this to them. I'd rather file these away too. 15 years of education would be wasted if I ended up smuggling marijuana. My sense of humour has definitely gone down.
- Confused, Job-Seeking Worker Ant into sales/marketing.Nah. There's way too many people doing this in India right now. I wouldn't have an edge then.
- Bhajans Organizer/Spiritual Guru – I have a solid interest spirituality and the occult. And there's plenty of money in this too (A friend's brother made 50,000 in one night of bhajans through donations and good will. Sri Sathya Sai Baba and Baba Ramdev have a combined wealth of a over 40,000 crores.)
Off to scratch a new surface once again
Exams have ended and with them, so has my college life in Hindu College. It was an okayish life I guess. In the end, though, I do have a couple of regrets. Seeing the cut offs now (as much as 100% in SRCC for pursuing BCom) I realize that getting through DU is quite a stiffie now. I made it to Hindu College quite easily because I had worked my ass off in school. So I should've made better use of this opportunity to attend college in a premier college (atleast compared to other C Grade places in the country). But I didn't. Instead, I spent the time as most of the people in Colleges do – 'chillin'.
I guess the time to chill is now over now that college is over. I have to make a fresh start to my future career, which I am still deciding on. What should I be? Should I be an online marketer, copy writer, web designer or what? What I really want to be is someone like Steve Jobs. "To put in ding in the universe".
If there's one aspiration that I've had from the time I was six of seven years old, it has been to be an inventor. I want to create something new.Something for the betterment of society. And not just technology related. Technology in my experience becomes obsolete very quickly. As a result, it usually leads to a lot of e-waste. I want to contribute in an environmental friendly way to harm nature as little as possible. Unfortunately, I know zilch about engineering, thanks to the beautiful education system in this country which tends to bleed high performing students completely dry. Either that or the grading system in school is bull shit – inflating your grades more than you're actually worth. No point cribbing about this, have cribbed enough already.
It's going to be a very difficult journey, I know that considering the fact that my skill set is only limited to writing and marketing a little bit online. I have expand it drastically to be able to create something of value.
Yeah, during my three years in college, I had managed to create a movie blog which had peaked monthly page views of 500,000 in April. But due to the darned exams, some bad writers I had hired and outsourced some of the content to and Panda updates by Google, the traffic has come down to only a couple of hundred people a day. I don't know whether I will be able to take the blog to former glory (I had a lot of top rankings on Google! I think I will formulate a strategy so as to rely less on Google for my traffic and make a loyal fanbase for the blog so that such occurences do that happen again.
I am going through something which the Greeks called 'Hubris'. When one gets everything in life at an early age, they start challenging the Gods, showing their arrogance and pride. The Gods, well aware of such an attitude, are only too eager to reply. And they strike back with a thunderbolt so strong, it displaces you from your socks in a matter of minutes. You're knocked back into your sense to realize that life is not rosy and peachy all the time.
I had started making quite a sizeable income before I turned 21. A nice solid profit off my online ventures, more than anything which any of my friends from school or college would dream off, two or three years after college. I don't remember strutting my feathers in public or gloating about my achievements but I feel I did give off vibes which showed off this luck and hard work.
But now I seem to have come back full circle. With nothing to fall back upon, I have to start a new venture soon and work on my blog too, right from scratch. This time the competition is much more stiff than it was three years back.
Shall keep you posted on my progress.
How Careers Change
How things change within a matter of years. You will be surprised if you read this list of possible careers that I was thinking of going into right from the time when days were merry and we used to play in the sandpit outside Woodseats in 1996 Welham. (Things are so much more different even there, and you will be surprised if you heard that story.) Good things don't seem to last in this country. My school, like the rest of country has gone such a dramatic change – right from the kind of values that are taught to the children to the skills that are imparted. It used to be a nice boarding school where kids were taught how to think, play, have fun and be good at studies at the same time. Now only the studying bit is encouraged – much like any other government school. The teachers and administators have huge houses and flats in the school while the students don't have a swimming pool – something which is being 'promised' to them for the last 5 years now.

Crisis intervention
Crisis Intervention is emergency psychological care aimed at assisting individuals in a crisis situation to restore equilibrium to their biopsychosocial functioning and to minimize the potential for psychological trauma.[1][2] Crisis can be defined as one's perception or experiencing of an event or situation as an intolerable difficulty that exceeds the person's current resources and coping mechanisms.
The priority of crisis intervention and counseling is to increase stabilization. Crisis interventions occur at the spur of the moment and in a variety of settings, as trauma can arise instantaneously. Crises are temporary, usually with short span, no longer than a month, although the effects may become long-lasting.[3]
Crisis Intervention is the emergency and temporary care given an individual who, because of unusual stress in his or her life that renders them unable to function as they normally would, in order to interrupt the downward spiral of maladaptive behavior and return the individual to their usual level of pre-crisis functioning.[4]
Types of crisis[edit]
Crises can occur on a personal or societal level. Personal Trauma is defined as an individual's experience of a situation or event in which he/she perceives to have exhausted his/her coping skill, self-esteem, social support, and power. These can be situations where a person is making suicidal threats, experiencing threat, witnessing homicide or suicide, or experiencing personal loss. While a person is experiencing a crisis on the individual level it is important for counselors to primarily assess safety. Counselors are encouraged to ask questions pertaining to social supports and networks, as well as give referrals for long term care.[5]
Societal or mass trauma can occur in a number of settings and typically affect a large group or society. These are instances such as school shootings, terrorist attacks, and natural disaster. A counselor's primary concern when call to these types of crises is to assess people's awareness of resources. Individuals experiencing trauma in large scales need to be aware of shelters that offer food and water; places that met their basic necessities for survival.[6]
Typical responses to crisis[edit]
Counselors are encouraged to be aware of the typical responses of those who have experienced a crisis or currently struggling with the trauma. On the cognitive level they may blame themselves or others for the trauma. Often the person appears disoriented, becomes hypersensitive or confused, has poor concentration, uncertainty, and poor troubleshooting. Physical responses to trauma include: increased heart rate, tremors, dizziness, weakness, chills, headaches, vomiting, shock, fainting, sweating, and fatigue. Some emotional responses the person may experiences consist of apathy, depression, irritability, anxiety, panic, helplessness, hopelessness, anger, fear, guilt, and denial. When assessing behavior some typical responses to crisis are difficulty eating and/or sleeping, conflicts with others, withdrawal from social situations, and lack of interest in social activities.[1]
Universal principles of crisis intervention[edit]
While dealing with crisis, both personal and societal, there are five basic principles outlined for intervention. Victims are initially at high risk for maladaptive coping or immobilization. Intervening as quickly as possible is imperative. Resource mobilization should be immediately enacted in order to provide victims with the tools they need to return to some sort of order and normalcy, in addition to enable eventual independent functioning. The next step is to facilitate understanding of the event by processing the situation or trauma. This is done in order to help the victim gain a better understanding of what has occurred and allowing him or her to express feeling about the experience. Additionally, the counselor should assist the victim(s) in problem solving within the context of their situation and feelings. This is necessary for developing self-efficacy and self-reliance. Helping the victim get back to being able to function independently by actively facilitating problem solving, assisting in developing appropriate strategies for addressing those concerns, and in helping putting those strategies into action. This is done in hopes of assisting the victim to become self-reliant.[7]
General approach[edit]
The ACT model of crisis intervention developed by Roberts as a response to the September 11, 2001 tragedy outlines a three-stage framework: Assessment Crisis Intervention Trauma Treatment (ACT).[8] This theory of crisis intervention integrates numerous assessment tools and triage procedures; Roberts' seven stage crisis intervention model and the ten-step acute traumatic stress management protocol creates one comprehensive model for responding to crisis that can be utilized in most all crisis situations. It is important to note that this should be followed as a guide not to be followed rigidly (A.R. Roberts, Crisis Intervention Handbook 2005 p.157).
The first step is the assessment stage; this is done by determining the needs of victims, other involved persons, survivors, their families, and grieving family members of possible victim(s) and making appropriate referrals when needed. Three types of assessments need to be conducted. The first is triage assessment, which is an immediate assessment to determine lethality and determine appropriate referral to one of the following: emergency inpatient hospitalization, outpatient treatment facility or private therapist, or if no referral is needed. A crisis assessment also needs to be completed which consists of gathering information regarding the individual's crisis state, environment, and interpersonal relationships in order to work towards resolving the current crisis. This step helps facilitate development of an effective and appropriate treatment plan. The last area of assessment includes a biosocial and cultural assessment. This would be completed by using systematic assessment tools to ascertain the client's current level of stress, situation, present problem, and severe crisis episode.[9]
The goal of the crisis intervention stage of Robert's ACT model is to resolve the client's presenting problems, stress, psychological trauma, and emotional conflicts. This is to be done with a minimum number of contacts, as crisis intervention is intended to be time limited and goal directed. Stage one of the seven step approach focuses on assessing lethality. The clinician is to plan and conduct a thorough biopsychosocial and lethality/imminent danger assessment; this should be done promptly at the time of arrival. Once lethality is determined one should establish rapport with the victim(s) whom the clinician will be working with. The next phase is to identify major problem(s), including what in their life has led to the crisis at hand. During this stage it is important that the client is given the control and power to discuss their story in his or her own words. While he or she is describing the situation, the intervention specialist should develop a conceptualization of the client's "modal coping style", which will most likely need adjusting as more information unfolds. This is referred to as stage three. As a transition is made to stage four, feelings will become prevalent at this time, so dealing with those feelings will be an important aspect of the intervention. While managing the feelings, the counselor must allow the client(s) to express his or her story, and explore feelings and emotions through active listening and validation. Eventually, the counselor will have to work carefully to respond to the client using challenging responses in order to help him or her work past maladaptive beliefs and thoughts, and to think about other options. At step five, the victim and counselor should begin to collaboratively generate and explore alternatives for coping. Although this situation will be unlike any other experience before, the counselor should assist the individual in looking at what has worked in the past for other situations; this is typically the most difficult to achieve in crisis counseling. Once a list has been generated, a shift can be made to step six: development of a treatment plan that serves to empower the client. The goal at this stage it to make the treatment plan as concrete as possible as an attempt to make meaning out of the crisis event. Having meaning in the situation is an important part of this stage because it allows for gaining mastery. Step seven is for the intervention specialist to arrange for follow-up contact with the client to evaluate his or her post crisis condition in order to make certain resolution towards progressing. The follow-up plan may include "booster" sessions to explore treatment gains and potential problems.[8]
After the situation has been assessed and crisis interventions have been applied, the aim is at eliminating PTSD symptoms, thus treating the traumatic experience. A comprehensive view of how to treat the trauma consists of ten stages outlined by Lerner and Shelton (2001). These steps relate similarly to the crisis intervention steps. The first step is to assess for danger/safety for self and others, this means for the victim, counselor, and others who may have been affected by the trauma. Then the counselor should consider the physical and perceptual mechanisms of injury. Once injury is assessed the victim's level of responsiveness should be evaluated and any medical needs should be addressed. Each individual who witnessed or is experiencing a crisis should be observed to identify his or her signs of traumatic stress. After the assessment of the situation is completed the interventionist should introduce his or her self, state their title and role, and begin building rapport. Building this relationship allows for a more fluid approach to grounding the individual, this can be done by allowing him or her to tell his or her story. Again, the counselor is encouraged to provide support through active and empathetic listening, normalize, validate, and educate. Finally, the intervention specialist is to bring the person to the present, describe future events, and provide referrals as needed.
When using crisis intervention methods for the disabled individual, every effort should first be made to first find other, preventative methods, such as giving adequate physical, occupational and speech therapy, and communication aides including ASL sign language and Augmentative Communication systems, behavior and other plans, in order to first help the handicapped individual to be able to express their needs and function better. Too often, crisis intervention methods including restraining holds are used without first giving the disabled more and better therapies or educational assistance. Often school districts, for example, may use crisis prevention holds and "Interventions" against disabled children without first giving services and supports (at least 75% of cases of restraint and seclusion reported to the Department of Education involved disabled children in the 2011-12 school year.) Also, school districts fail to inform parents about their disabled child's "intervention" with restraint or seclusion, thereby providing little, if any, opportunity for the family to help the disabled child recover. Congress is trying to curtail the use of restraint and seclusion by school districts, having proposed legislation "Keeping All Students Safe Act" which had bi-partisan support but the bill has repeatedly died in committee. It will be re-introduced in 2015 by Senator Chris Murphy (CT). Critical incident debriefing is a widespread approach to counseling those in a state of crisis. This technique is done in a group setting 24–72 hours after the event occurred, and is typically a one-time meeting that lasts 3–4 hours, but can be done over numerous sessions if needed. Debriefing is a process by which facilitators describe various symptoms related PTSD and other anxiety disorders that individuals are likely to experience due to exposure to a trauma. As a group they process negative emotions surrounding the traumatic event. Each member is encouraged continued participation in treatment so that symptoms do not become exacerbated.[10]
Critical incident debriefing has been criticized by many for its effectiveness on reducing harm in crisis situations. Some studies show that those exposed to debriefing are actually more likely to show symptoms of PTSD at a 13 month follow-up than those who are not exposed to the debriefing. Most recipients of debriefing reported that they found the intervention helpful. Based on symptoms found in those who received no treatment at all, some critics state that reported improvement is considered a misattribution, and that the progress would naturally occur without any treatment.[11]

Remember when an unattended package was just that, an unattended package? Remember when the airport was a place that evoked magical possibilities, not the anxiety of a full-body scan? In the post-9/11 world, we have become focused on heightened security measures, but do you feel safer? Are you safer?
Against Security explains how our anxieties about public safety have translated into command-and-control procedures that annoy, intimidate, and are often counterproductive. Taking readers through varied ambiguously dangerous sites, the prominent urbanist and leading sociologist of the everyday, Harvey Molotch, argues that we can use our existing social relationships to make life safer and more humane. He begins by addressing the misguided strategy of eliminating public restrooms, which deprives us all of a basic resource and denies human dignity to those with no place else to go. Subway security instills fear through programs like "See Something, Say Something" and intrusive searches that have yielded nothing of value. At the airport, the security gate causes crowding and confusion, exhausting the valuable focus of TSA staff. Finally, Molotch shows how defensive sentiments have translated into the vacuous Freedom Tower at the World Trade Center site and massive error in New Orleans, both before and after Hurricane Katrina. Throughout, Molotch offers thoughtful ways of maintaining security that are not only strategic but improve the quality of life for everyone.
Against Security argues that with changed policies and attitudes, redesigned equipment, and an increased reliance on our human capacity to help one another, we can be safer and maintain the pleasure and dignity of our daily lives.

The Sharks won't be the complacent bunch who turned up at Newlands when they face Boland, says assistant coach Grant Bashford.
The Sharks were a shadow of the polished side we've seen for the majority of the Currie Cup, looking unstructured on attack and uncharacteristically vulnerable defensively.
Bashford attributed the poor performance to an attitude problem rather than any technical flaws but insisted there would be no trace of that when they face Boland in Durban this weekend.
"We really took the guys to task about their attitude coming into the Province game," Bashford told keo.co.za. "That had an adverse effect on the game and we were very disappointed to have been dominated at the set phases and breakdown, where we're usually very good.
"But the guys have had a good look at themselves and I'm confident that we'll get back on track this weekend."
Bashford said Boland would pose different challenges to Province, adding that while they were confident of victory they knew the Wellington union were capable of punishing inaccurate execution.
"They're one of those sides you would expect to beat but I know that if we don't turn up on the evening they could beat us," he said. "They have a couple of gamebreakers in their backline like John Daniels and Jongi Nokwe. I hear they're out injured but we'll believe that when we see it.
"On paper their pack shouldn't be good but they showed against the Cheetahs and Lions how competent they can be under pressure. Even going backwards for most of those matches they were able to be creative with the scraps they had to work with."
The Sharks have some serious injury concerns coming into the match. Flyhalf Brad Barritt and lock Steven Sykes are both almost certain to miss the match, while Johan Ackermann and Henno Mentz are deemed very doubtful. Bashford said the fact that those were experienced players was a concern but refused to take a pessimistic view on the situation.
"We've got 19 of our Super 14 players out either on Bok duty or injured. But We've got wonderful depth at the Sharks," he said.
"We're not viewing this [the injuries] as a huge blow but seeing it as an opportunity to give some of our promising young players a run."

Ukraine hoists flag over pro-Russian bastion
Published on Jul 6, 2014 6:33 AM
DONETSK, Ukraine (AFP) - Resurgent government forces on Saturday hoisted the Ukrainian flag over pro-Russian rebels' main stronghold after a devastating shelling onslaught levelled much of the city but delivered Kiev its biggest success of the campaign.
The self-proclaimed mayor of Slavyansk confirmed to AFP that insurgents had abandoned the rustbelt city of 120,000. A local resident said by phone that barricades once manned by the camouflage-clad gunmen stood abandoned since the early morning.
Images posted on YouTube showed helmeted troops carrying dozens of grenade launchers out of the barricaded Slavyansk city hall building as the blue-and-yellow national banner streamed under a blazing blue sky.
Kiev's ability to win back Slavyansk – home to one of the country's biggest weapons storage facilities that fell to the insurgents in early April – marks a key turning point in three months of low-scale warfare that has threatened the very survival of the ex-Soviet state.

A hunt launched for a man known to the victim
A woman recruit in the Delhi police constabulary whose decomposed body was found in the fields near Jhajjar in Haryana last Friday was murdered. The police have now launched a hunt for a man known to the victim.
Taruna was recruited last year and was enrolled with the Police Training College here. She went missing on June 13. Last Friday the Haryana police found the decomposed body in the fields of Chhara village. The post-mortem conducted at PGI Hospital at Rohtak reportedly revealed that she had been shot in the chest and head.
On the basis of the post-mortem report, the Najafgarh police registered a case of abduction and murder on Saturday and launched a hunt for a resident of Najafgarh. Enquiries by the police revealed that Taruna was in close contact with the suspect, who is married, for the past few months.
It is learnt that the suspect is a local leader of a political party and had been previously booked in a case of alleged criminal assault at the Jafarpur Kalan police station.
The police suspect that on June 13 Taruna left the PTC premises to meet him. He allegedly took her to some place, shot her dead and then dumped her body in the fields. "The condition of the body suggests that Taruna was murdered the day she went missing," said a Haryana police officer.
Although the body was decomposed, the Haryana police were able to identify the victim from a mobile phone SIM card they recovered from her possession. Later, her father also identified the body as that of Taruna from her belongings. Interestingly, the Delhi police here had also found a suicide note from Taruna's PTC quarter.
Several police teams have been formed and raids are being mounted in and outside the Capital to trace the suspect.

Corsair Vengeance 2000 wireless headset review -
Final words and conclusion
Final words and conclusion
There probably isn't anything more difficult to review when it comes to audio, thus speakers and headsets. Audio is subjective so that's an entire big grey area that you need to describe loaded with subjective perceptions and facts from the reviewers side.
One thing we can clearly state though is that Corsair have been very consistent in the design, features, and quality of their products, and it shows again in their Vengeance headsets. We liked the 1100, loved the 1500 and think the 2000 is downright impressive. Corsair had big shoes to fill coming from the HS1 and 1500 and it is safe to say that the Vengeance 2000 is an improvement over the HS1. The kit is fairly lightweight and very comfortable to wear. The adjustability of the headband and pivoting action of the ear cups ensures they should provide a proper fit for just about anyone. The headset is moderately lightweight but seems to be of solid build quality. The ear pads are made of micro fiber and are very soft and comfortable.
The million dollar question though is the Vengeance 2000 Wireless Headset actually a 5.1 or 7.1 channel set? No, it isn't. Corsair could have tagged it 9.1 as well but it's stereo that is virtualized trough CMedia's Xear. That makes it a virtualized surround sounding headset, but the accuracy you'll get from a real 5.1/7.1 speaker set is in a completely different league. The overall surround experience is good though, for headphones. But Corsair probably should not have tagged the kit with 7.1 as that just doesn't sit right with me.
The Vengeance 2000 Xear functionality really will reverb the sounds as if you were in a room, but due to the 2-channel configuration in Windows, it doesn't tell you where the sound is coming from (directional sound). Make no mistake, the sound quality is great, excellent really.
The overall sound quality is exceptional after you've tweaked it a little, I probably would not dare to state audiophile-quality but it is certainly above the level you expect for a $100-150 headset, especially considering there is a price premium to weigh in for the wireless feature. The wireless functionality works really well. In a range of say 10 meters you will have perfect reception. Even a concrete floor below the transmitter we had reception. Outside the 10 meters things get difficult fast though, sound simply dies off when you are out of range (and will pop back online once you are in range again).
The good thing about the USB based Vengeance 2000 is the fact that you can tweak the sound to your liking through the equalizer. The equalizer pre-sets are not just generic presets but are fine-tuned by the pros and that lifts up the product really well.
Being wireless we have to talk about battery life, it's actually pretty good, we got a good 9 hours out of one charge so that will definitely get you through a few movies or FPS fragfests. Once you are out of juice you can simply plug in the charging cable and continue to play until all your base are belong to us.
For straight up gaming, the Vengeance 2000 is tough to beat, the overall clarity and nice bass make it a killer headset. You will get into the game real fast... and that of course is not always a pretty sight...
Aesthetically it is a pleasing set to look at, the problem lies thereunder though. Lame photo puns aside, as mentioned the overall wear comfort is good, the microphone was great, and with a little EQ tweakage the sound will most definitely blow you away.
Though the surround Xear modes worked fine the reality remains that it's 'guestimated' or virtualized surround, it will never get close to real perceptive 7.1 sound for that matter. For videos and audio in combo with the EQ the surround mode however works very well so overall the Vengeance 2000 simply is a great set of headphones for many usages including movies, music and gaming.
With the bass pumped and thumped, and the treble upped up a notch my personal sound flavor was reached and satisfied real fast. The headphones can take a lot of deep bass pounding without distorting, more than actually is good for your ears.
Summing it up: The V2000 is a fantastic sounding and comfortable headphone set, its not real 7.1 channel surround though. Regardless of how its marketed; the overall quality combined with the wireless functionality is simply seriously good in this price range. A top pick award as such is granted as it's rediculously good.

The Surfaris suffice
Let's start by keeping it simple. If you love Wipeout, you're going to love Wipeout 2048. If you don't, you won't. It's as easy as that. The formula hasn't changed, you still race ridiculously named vehicular around ridiculous techno tracks from the future, while listening to techno music. If you've ever played Wipeout HD on the PS3, you're going to know exactly what to expect here; weapons (both attack and defence), speed pads, techno voice overs, and speed pads aplenty. Don't think this is a negative tone I've got going here; too be fair, not much needs changing!
Let's start with the single-player campaign. You've got three seasons to partake in; the 2048 season, 2049 season, and… any guesses? The 2050 season. Each season contains plenty of events that should take you around 40 minutes to pass. But that's not where to stop, oh no, what you should be aiming for is the elite pass. These are the toughest accolades to earn, and require you to get insanely fast lap times, or a fairly gentle rack of points. The things with these are, they range in difficulty. Some are just right and will have you biting your lip, just trying to get that elite pass, others are to be described as 'a piece of cake' and don't require too much effort or concentration. It's often the races that have the hardest elite passes to gain, and missing of the elite pass by a few milliseconds is agonising, but will not fail to make you re-try again, and again, and again until you finally get that elite pass. It can be cruelly addicting.
If you don't want to go for the elite passes, the racing itself if enjoyable, and will have you firing weapons and boosting over speed pads to get to pol position. There is a good variety of locations, although perhaps not enough. Some tracks are simply phenomenal, take "Sol" for example, that track is immense, exhilarating, and then some, but there are too few tracks to really have you excited throughout the entirety of a season. At the start of the season, you'll be excited to try out the new tracks, see all the awesome jumps, turns and objects around you, but as you drag towards the end of a season, these become stale as they are repeated far too many times only in different modes. 'Zone' shakes things up a bit, a returning event from Wipeout HD, an event that makes the track neon and colourful, but 'Time Trials' or 'Combat' events are exactly the same as races as far as the track is concerned. What's more, when in the 2050 season, you may even find yourself replaying tracks from season 2048! For the most part, the tracks are great, better than your average racer, but ruined by the fact that they are over-used.
Back on to a positive note, it is the best looking Wipeout to date, but you'd expect that on the OLED screen. I'm going to use the track 'Sol' again as an example. When you are flying off jumps, or heading downhill, the environment looks magnificent, and it's hard to believe that this is happening on a handheld, not on a PS3. The vehicles themselves all look unique and have various different paint jobs. But how do they handle? Well that depends on the vehicle you choose. There are three classes; Speed, Agility, and Fighter. These are all fairly self-explanatory. Speed vehicles are obviously going to be the fastest, but not the strongest, and not the nippiest (if that's even a word). The Agility is the class for getting around the bends easier, without worrying about bumping into the barriers, and the Fighter class are obviously home to the strongest vehicles but not as fast or nippy. They really do all feel different and you're sure to pick one as your favourite. I like the Agility class as they are less likely to crash. There is also the bonus 'Prototype' class which can be unlocked by finding hidden events in the career. These are essentially all the other classes mashed together.
You'll also be pleased to know that the game sounds great. The vehicles all sound the same, disregard of the class, but they all sound just right. Going in the air and crashing back down will signal a thud. The soundtrack is top draw too, no genre would be better than techno for a game like this and some of the tunes are a joy to play to.
Not forgetting multiplayer, as this is one of the few Vita games to have such functionality, is on the whole just as good as the single-player. Winning races feels great, and it shows a leader board in between races of who has won the most races in that session. I might also point out that from my experience; it is completely lag-free. There were no problems in that department. The one questionable aspect of the multiplayer mode is how you have a photo taken at the start of each race. Seems like a cool idea, because then at the end everyone can see the face of the person who beat them (no taking pictures of the genital region mind! That's a no go.) Although, you could. I know that sounds weird, but you could take a picture of whatever you want, you know why? Because no-one gets to see the picture! It doesn't show anyone! It says that your photo will be sent to the other racers. Bullshit. I didn't receive any photos from anyone. It could've have been a cool feature and could have been implemented really well, but it's not! Hopefully a patch will be released to fix the issue (still no naughty snaps though you dirty person.) However I'm sure someone will, you'll be receiving pics of hairy men in no time! (PEGI 7 by the way, or, rated E for Everyone.)
Now let's not forget that this game is on the PS Vita, for all you know what I've just described could easily go down as a PSN game. So how does it make use of the Vita? And why isn't it just a PSN game? Well, it's good and bad. The menus use the touchscreen (as always) and also use the rear touch panel for some not needed effects in the menus. You can also pinch in or out to zoom in or out like you would on a tablet. But that's just about it (along with the useless camera in multiplayer), none of them are implemented in game, which is a shame, I think tapping the rear touch panel to fire weapons could work. Now onto the bad news, this game can hurt your hands, and it's not the most comfortable game to play. Some races can be up to 5 minutes and holding down the right bumper flat-out for that long can pain, and will probably make it become numb. The other problem is the positioning of the left-thumb stick. Having to bend your thumb for 5 minutes rather than relax it can also be a problem. So why not just pause the game? Problem #3; the start button is in an awkward position and is far too small, that by the time you manage to hit it, you might have lost a couple valuable places in the race. I wouldn't say it's the controls that are dodgy, more the mapping of them. Perhaps using the d-pad to steer rather than the left analogue stick would work. You could say its SONY's fault, but there were alternatives for Studio Liverpool.
All in all Wipeout 2048 is an addicting racer that will have you coming back for more to try and get that elite pass. It's got the visuals and the audio going for it, but is by no means perfect. The use of the camera (if you can even call it a 'use') is broken, and the mapping of the controls isn't too easy to get to grips with, and could have you straining your thumb/finger. These niggles stop it from being a brilliant game, and instead 'just' a great one.
More of the same really, the glorious same.
The Good:
-Trying to get the elite pass can be hugely addicting
-Great graphics
-Catchy soundtrack
-Multiplayer gives you the bragging rights
-Some astoundingly brilliant tracks
The Bad:
-Terrible implementation of camera
-Dodgy control mapping leads to painful hands
-Tracks are repeated far too often

Vitamin K2 is an essential nutrient' best known for its role in blood clorring. Dietary sources are partially converted into Menatetrenone' or MK-4' the biologically active form of vitamin K2. Menatetretone has a unique effects on bones not shared by other forms of vitamin K' particularly at lower dosages.
Over the course of last decade' at least sixteen clinical trials have been performed using Menatetretone' and all have found that K2 supplement protect the skeletal system. Study results have shown that menatetretone not only helps combat the loss of bone mass' it dramatically helps reduce the risk of suffering a fracture. In one trial' women who took Menatetretone for 24 weeks increased their bone mineral density (BMD) by an impressive 2.2%' even as the women taking a placebo lost 7.31%. In another trial' osteoporotic women taking Menatetrenone sustained nearly no bone loss over two years' while cutting fracture risk by 64% as compared with non-supplementing women. The ability of bones to withstand fractures is not just determined by the quantity of bone' but also by the quality of bone. Bones with a better microarchitecture maintain their flexibility and therefore and therefore less likely to fracture. Evidence suggest that Menatetretone's most important effects are on this type of bone quality' and clinical trials have found that Menatetretone provides as much protection against fracture as drugs that have much more powerful effects on BMD.
Menatetretone's health benefits extend well beyond the skeletal system. Emerging science is now documenting the role of vitamin K in supporting cardiovascular health and brain health.

The food security bill, which was recently passed by the UPA government, is a very ambitious program meant to provide subsidised food to almost two-thirds of the nation. However, many see this as a political motive to this move, especially since the 2014 general elections are near. In the cartoon the politician is showing bearing the heavy weight of this responsibility. He smiles seeing the reflection on the mirror which depicts the electronic voting machine, probably thinking that the trouble may be worth it if they get re-elected next year.

Slum Village ft. Focus… - God Sent / Hunger
Artist: Slum Village
Producer: Young RJ
Album: Dirty Slums
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 10 votes )
Slum Village has always presented great music with great production, and the release of Dirty Slums is no different. While the album was released yesterday on iTunes, the track(s) God Sent/Hunger originally were featured on their free mixtape with Mick Boogie that dropped this past March. Now, as if a mixtape and album wasn't enough, the Detroit group have now released a combo video for their standout tracks. Featuring production by Young RJ, both records contain a percussion section that gives off an old school Hip-Hop break. I imagine James Brown would bob his head and mumble "aint it funky" to himself. The difference in the production is more on the synth portion, where God Sent adds a heavy synth sound that give the track a more dramatic feel and the video highlights that feel with darker and more serious scenes. Hunger, on the other hand, is a lot more laid back and lyrically is one of those "I told you I was going to be on top even though I started at the bottom" cuts. Despite their differences, both cuts are dope and were an obvious selection for a joint visual.

One strategy to help users ease into this transition is to hide, or collapse, the ribbon. Check out the screen shots below. Here is an image of Excel 2010 in its default state.
Below is an image of Excel 2010 with the ribbon collapsed.
Finally, here is an image of Excel 2003.
Interesting, right? Collapsing the ribbon makes the Excel 2010 tabs look similar to Excel 2003 menus. Okay, so it's not identical, but the reduction in change may help your users ease their transition into the fluent user interface.
Note the red circles in the upper right hand corner of the Excel 2010 images. This toggle arrow can be used to manually expand or collapse the ribbon, providing your users the ability to customize the interface to their preference. Additionally, CTRL+F1 can be used to expand/collapse the ribbon.
When deploying Office 2010 to your users, it's possible to create a customized installation to have the ribbon collapsed by default when your users first open an Office application. You can accomplish this by adding specific registry keys into your setup package.
For most Office applications, there is a single registry value that controls the ribbon appearance. Outlook is an exception and will be discussed later in this post.
Here is the registry value:
In the above value, <AppName> is any of the following values:
• Access• Excel• OneNote• PowerPoint• Project• Publisher• Visio• Word
The following table defines the available values for the "QuickAccessToolbarStyle" registry value.
A REG_DWORD value of 4 (shown below) will collapse the ribbon and has the same effect as pressing CTRL+F1 or selecting the toggle arrow.
Outlook provides a bit more customization. There are 24 different registry keys that control the ribbon and quick access toolbar. This is because there are so many different types of items and modules in Outlook that the product team had to create multiple ribbons. While this implementation is generally transparent to end-users, this complexity surfaces here. Thus, if you want to collapse the ribbon for Outlook, you'll need to determine the specific Outlook window that you want collapsed.
The below table outlines the different registry values that manipulate the visibility of the ribbon. All of these values are under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Toolbars\Outlook
The Office Customization Tool (OCT) can be used to add these registry keys just like any other registry key. Adding registry entries via the OCT is a pretty straightforward process. Check out the TechNet article Office Customization Tool in Office 2010 for details.
Deploying Office 2010 with a collapsed ribbon may help your users transition to using the ribbon instead of the legacy menus. Making sure your users are comfortable with change will help you accelerate deployments while reducing costs (by eliminating Help Desk calls). Adding some registry keys to your setup using the OCT provides an easy way to accomplish this.

I impressed from telescopes.
They have big mirrors and a small mirror at the focus , they are two axis symetrical , i mean verticaly and horizontaly symetric and curved.
What happens if I use a cylinderical mirror which made from curved stainless steel plate as the big mirror .
A there can be film at the focus of the big mirror ?
B or there can be a small cut cylinder stainless pipe as a secondary mirror which focuses the light through a hall at the big mirror on to the film at behind of big mirror.
What kind of image we get from horizontaly curved lens or mirror ?
Can it be computer corrected ?
I asked few experts offline but they said they did not know the answer.

Reading Past Dogen, to Dogen
We're having some interesting discussions at the Tricycle Community on the Big Sit, the teachings of Zen Master Dogen, and a bunch of other things. Here's an interesting response by Tricycle's editor-at-large, Andrew Cooper, to our post from last week's discussion on The Fundamentals of Dogen's Thought:
Reading Past Dogen, to Dogen
Studying the work of a religious teacher from a distant time and place presents any number of problems. Yet it is precisely through an active dialogue with tradition, for which such study can be essential, that the strivings and concerns of an individual's spiritual life are anchored in a context of shared human endeavor. Sometimes ideas from the past seem to float unimpeded across the centuries and resonate intimately with our deepest intuitions. Sometimes they just clang and clatter in discordance with our basic values and best knowledge about the world.
I think this week's selection from Kazuaki Tanahashi's essay points up some of the things in Dogen that are, to modern readers, problematic. To start with, the claim that Zen and Zen alone is the true transmission of the Buddha is premised on a fiction. Like other Buddhist schools, Zen sought to establish its legitimacy—indeed, its preeminence—by tracing itself back to Shakyamuni Buddha. Most traditions did this through scripture: schools based themselves on particular scriptures and made claims for their supremacy by citing reasons for the superiority of their favored texts. But when the Zen school formed itself, in China, it employed a different strategy, the idea of a mind to mind transmission "outside the scriptures," an unbroken lineage going back to the Buddha and extending up to the present. Of course, teacher to disciple transmission was indeed an integral part of Zen as Dogen encountered it. But it was a practice that began in China, not India. It is, then, deeply ironic that Zen's very model and proof of authenticity is, historically speaking, largely a fabrication.
But such things are common in religions. History—that is, the systematic and rigorous study of the past—is a form of knowledge that is quite foreign to Buddhism's self-understanding, as it is to that of any religion. The study of history began in ancient Greece, with Herodotus and Thucydides, and its tradition is Western humanism. Over the past century or two, its methods have become more exacting and powerful, and it has become the modern world's main way of knowing the past. But that is comparatively recent.
Through most of history, humans knew their past through some blend of myth, legend, and recollection of actual events. It is true that in Buddhism one finds a strong tradition in the interpretation of scripture of distinguishing between the literal description of events and the symbolic meaning they convey. But the two levels of interpretation were seen as reinforcing one another, not as alternatives. The power of the symbols attested to the truth of the events; the truth of the events explained the power of the symbols. Today, however, we know the past in a way our religious forebears never could, and so we repeatedly face a dilemma: to remain open to metaphoric meaning, we must, more often than not, sever the connection between symbol and event.
What are we to make of the sectarian Dogen? The parochial Dogen? The intolerant Dogen? These are attitudes that shadow words like "genuine," "true," and "correct." When Dogen says that zazen alone is the authentic gate to the Buddha-dharma, it is clear that he means that quite literally. He is saying that the zazen that was transmitted to him—and no other form of meditation or other practice—is the only way to practice true Buddhism.
It is hard to reconcile this narrow-minded Dogen with the Dogen of breathtaking religious genius. The latter speaks to and evokes our finest intuitions; the former expresses views that run directly counter to our best and most complete cosmopolitan sensibilities.
One can point out that Dogen's sectarianism was hardly unique to him. He was the product of a highly structured, hierarchical society, in which authority was a function of position as sanctioned by tradition. Further, it is always a problem to view the past through the lens of the present. To find meaning in writings from the past, even the recent past, there is much—bigotry, superstition, false assumptions, provincial attitudes—that we simply must read past. Dogen is no exception. Still, that is rather cold comfort.
Reading past Dogen's claim that there is but one true way—for we know that, as a literal statement, it simply doesn't hold up—we are still left to ponder the spiritual meaning of such a statement. And for me, notwithstanding the necessity of rejecting its literal meaning, there is a spiritual meaning that is undiminished.
Dogen is expressing the Buddha Way as it revealed itself in his life-practice. The universality of his wisdom derives from—is inseparable from—the particular circumstances in which it is rooted. The universal and particular constitute a wholeness, and I think it is the wholeness of life—whether it is Dogen's life or my life or your life—that he spoke of as being realized and actualized in zazen, and that zazen excludes nothing. It is from his deepest sense of things that he speaks, and it is in our deepest sense of things that we find him.
Share with a Friend
Thank you, Andrew, for your generous and clear explanation of the issues that the reading on Dogen raises for us, as modern-day Buddhists. Whatever tradition we practice in, I believe, we encounter similar problems. As you say, "To find meaning in writings from the past, even the recent past, there is much—bigotry, superstition, false assumptions, provincial attitudes—that we simply must read past." If we can't do this, we will always wander searching from group to group for the infallible teacher, the flawless sangha. That's a recipe for resentment, judgmentalism, dissatisfaction, suffering, and so surely not the right way. I have, unfortunately seen it happen in others, and felt twinges of the same reactions myself at times.
First of all, please do not take this personal. When I first read your essay, I simply label it as another attempt to study Dogen as a philospher or as a religious thinker. I believe as you stated"studying the works of a religious teacher' means that you encountered Dogen very differently than I do. I do not think Dogen wanted to be label or studied as a religious person or a philospher. In fact he clearly did not want to be label as a "Zen thinker." Many of his writings were very critical of groups that label themselves belonging to one sect or another including Zen. Second your premise that Zen's model of transmisson and proof of authenticity is a fabrication and premise on a fiction because it did began in China and not in India has no logic or reasoning. The authencity of Zen has nothing to do where it began nor what model it uses. The awakening that comes from Zen can come from a word-casting off body and mind. It can come from a sound-a pebble stricking a bamboo stick or a tile, from a gesture-fanning the wind with a fan,or from a koan-Mu. Third you label Dogen a historical figure that was a product of a highly structure hierarchical society, and that in his writing you find bigotry,superstition,false assumptions, etc... This is so far from the truth. Dogen cannot be label a historical figure that wrote for a 12th century audience. Why do we today study his writings? Do you think we are only interested what a person in the 13th century thought. I hope that this is not the reason we are reading him. His writings transcend the socio-cultural-historical conditions of a japan in the 1200s. There is something in his writings that enables a 21st century person to grasp the meaning of existance today and attain or realize freedom. His use of language and word and letters were not to portray thought in japan in the 1200s. Rather his use of words and letters were to open up our minds to reality-to encounter the truth. His language does away with " bigotry, superstition,false assumptions" Fourth as far as his "narrow-mindness", I am not sure where that comes from. Unless you mean on his assistance that we practice. But I consider that not being his narrow-minded, rather of his greatness. My question to you is in reading Dogen did you really encounter Dogen or simply studied him?
whew, big sigh of relief. Thanks so much -- I really needed your comments. I felt myself pulling away after reading last week's Perils of Dogen installment. It is so helpful to see that there is something useful to the upset, that I'm not the only one who....... I love the conclusion Andrew comes to: "his wisdom derives from—is inseparable from—the particular circumstances in which it is rooted. The universal and particular constitute a wholeness, and I think it is the wholeness of life—whether it is Dogen's life or my life or your life—that he spoke of as being realized and actualized in zazen, and that zazen excludes nothing." that is very nourishing. This is working, isn't it? aside from the cute strangeness of the social networking, I seem to be able to learn something. Who would have thunk it?

WCPO's Clyde Gray sat down with Mark Mallory to talk about the budget, the streetcar, his regrets on leaving office and much more.
Exit interview: What's next for Mark Mallory?
Mark Mallory
CINCINNATI -- Mark Mallory time as mayor of Cincinnati is coming to an end.
His second and final term ends Sunday when Mayor-elect John Cranley and members of City Council are sworn in at the Freedom Center. Two separate ceremonies are scheduled, one at 11 a.m. and a second at 2 p.m.
But if you think Mallory's glum about it, you don't know him.
No longer captive to news conferences and ribbon cuttings, it's as if someone lifted a weight off his shoulders, allowing him a freedom he hasn't experienced in eight years.
When it comes to what he hopes will be remembered as his legacy, Mallory can't point to one thing. He aimed to change the image of the city, revitalize its core and attract jobs. For him, that all adds up to a mission fulfilled.
"I want my legacy to be, he said he would change the direction of the city of Cincinnati, and he did," Mallory said.

Petco Park has been like second home to these die-hards who love their team
Guerrero stood outside the players' garage on Tony Gwynn Drive for about three hours. He greeted the Padres as they drove in. He clutched a poster for them to autograph. "Hey, good luck," Guerrero told each player. "Kick some butt."
Then it was on to batting practice, where Novello was already standing in section 111, up against the railing, his typical spot before games.
Only feet away, players trotted out of the Padres' clubhouse. Novello's voice was the first they heard as they stepped onto the field.
"He cheers us on through thick and thin," said Padres pitcher Clayton Richard. "He's here early every day. He's dedicated."
Richard is Novello's favorite player. When Novello celebrated his 28th birthday last year, he invited Richard and then-Padres catcher John Baker. They both attended the gathering at Lolita's, just across the street from Petco Park.
Richard gave Novello an autographed remote-control truck. Novello still hasn't taken the truck out of its box, for fear that he might break it.
"Clayton's a great guy," said Novello. "The Padres mean so much to me, and I love them. They'd probably say the same thing. They support me, too."
Iron man
Novello was born with hydrocephalus, a disorder causing cerebral fluid to build up in the brain.
Doctors predicted he wouldn't begin walking until age 10. He proved them wrong by taking his first steps at 18 months.
His three older brothers — Gabriel, Frankie and Dino — all grew up cheering for the Padres. But none is as big a fan as Luigi.
At 10, Novello attended his first Padres game at Qualcomm Stadium. There, he met Guerrero, who remembers a young man running up and down the outfield walkway holding a blue Padres flag.
Novello became a season ticket holder in 2003, using money left to him by his late father. His claim of perfect attendance at Petco Park is substantiated by Richard, ushers and other fans.
But his condition leaves him susceptible to seizures, which cause a short loss of consciousness and can strike at any time. Novello said that on at least two occasions he has had a seizure while attending a game at Petco Park. He had to leave for the hospital both times.
Those incidents, along with his doctor's advice, prompted Novello's decision to "retire" five years ago. On Sept. 28, 2008, Novello roamed Petco Park with a crown on his head and a cardboard poster in his hands. The crown proclaimed, "The Greatest Show on Earth." The poster declared, "Farewell Luigi San Diego Padres #1 Fan."
The Padres ended another long season with a loss to the Pirates. But Novello's career as a loyal supporter didn't end there.
"He kept saying it, but he never did it," said a smiling Guerrero, who has Novello's mother's phone number in case anything happens.
Novello said he's been able to manage his seizures with medication. He said he hasn't had an episode at the ballpark in two years.
Like Novello, Guerrero rides the trolley to Petco Park.
