Weekdays at Noon on 98.7 FM Arizona Sports
Bickley and Marotta
When Sports Matter Too Much
The name - Zinetula Bilyaletdinov - will barely ring a bell. It will probably get trapped on your tongue. You surely won't remember that he was an assistant coach for the Coyotes in 1996-97, their debut season in the Valley.
But in Russia, the name will echo for at least another four years, a new entry in the Kremlin Hall of Shame.

It's become an annual tradition for the Colorado State Senate to call for equal treatment of women. But this year there's a twist: The resolution will condemn the Obama White House for paying female staffers significantly less than male staffers.
Federal records show the average male in the Obama Administration makes $71,000 per year, whereas the average female staffer makes $60,000 per year.
But Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray, offered an amendment that noted female staffers in the White House earn an average of 18 percent less than male staffers. The pay disparity was the subject of recent news reports and has been circulated widely among conservatives.
"I think that is unacceptable," Brophy said.
But Sen. Irene Aguilar, D-Denver, a co-sponsor of the resolution, urged fellow Democrats to accept the amendment.
"As soon as Michelle (Obama) finds out about it, they (female staffers) will all be in good shape," Aguilar said.
The amendment passed with 15 Republicans and nine Democrats in favor and 11 Democrats opposed.
For the record, I think Aguilar is being a little naive. Michelle Obama knows female staffers around her are making less. She doesn't care. The White House could pay female staffers more, but then Michelle would have to cut back on her luxury vacations on the taxpayer dime. And she's not going to do that.
Besides, even if the administration suddenly moves to fix the disparity it'd be nothing more than a political reaction. They'd be temporarily responding to public demand — not changing the long-term culture that made such disparity acceptable even in the most left-wing administration in history. So who cares?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | November 2, 2010
Alzheimer's Foundation of America to Open NASDAQ to Mark National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month and Upcoming 'Together for Care' Telethon
NEW YORK, NEW YORK— As part of its efforts to drive home the urgency of the Alzheimer's disease crisis, the Alzheimer's Foundation of America (AFA) today will call on the public to rally around the need for care and cure as it rings the opening bell of NASDAQ.
Ringing the opening bell will be Bert Brodsky, AFA's chairman, and Eric J. Hall, AFA's president and CEO.
AFA's participation in the NASDAQ ceremony comes as the nation marks the start of National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month, observed each November, and as AFA gears up to raise awareness of Alzheimer's disease in an unprecedented way: the national nonprofit organization will hold its inaugural "Together for Care" telethon on December 4.
"We must spread the message loud and clear that Alzheimer's disease is a health crisis of immense proportion," said Hall. "We no longer have the luxury of time. With the incidence of the disease escalating, families must be assured that our nation is striving to provide optimal care while searching for a cure."
Designed to both educate and engage the public, the telethon will air in 16 major markets on NBC and be telecast online on AFA's Web site for national viewing. Al Roker of the "Today" show, who will serve as host, and actor Hector Elizondo, AFA's honorary celebrity chairman, lead the show's celebrity lineup. For more information, visit www.alzfdn.org.
Currently, as many as 5.1 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, which causes loss of memory and other intellectual function. Advanced age is the greatest known risk factor for the disease, with the incidence doubling every five years after age 65. It is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States.
Alzheimer's Foundation of America
The Alzheimer's Foundation of America, based in New York, is a non-profit organization that unites more than 1,400 member organizations nationwide with the goal of providing optimal care and services to individuals confronting dementia, and to their caregivers and families. Its services include a toll-free helpline, educational materials, a free quarterly magazine for caregivers and professional training. For more information about AFA, call toll-free 866-AFA-8484 or visit www.alzfdn.org.

WAYZATA, Minn. - Lamar University junior Kevin Hesbois posted rounds of 72-70=142 (-2) on Sunday to finish the first day of action at the Gopher Invitational in a fourth place tie and help the Cardinal golf team to a seventh place standing through 36 holes.
Despite being seventh of 11 teams, Lamar is just six strokes out of third place heading into Monday's final round of 18. The Cardinals brought home the team title in the event in 2007 on the par-72, 7020-yard Spring Hill Golf Club.
LSU (+6) shot a blistering 281 (-7) as a team in the second round to move from ninth after 18 holes to first place after 36. Kent State (+8) is just two strokes back, with Arkansas and UNC-Charlotte tied for third at 588 (+12) and UNC-Greensboro (+15) rounding out the top five.
Hesbois shot three straight 74s at the event last year to tie for 21st place. The two-year letterman out of Belgium trails Kent State's John Hahn by seven strokes after Hahn recorded impressive rounds of 68-67=135 (-9).
Fellow juniors M.J. Daffue and Xavier Feyaerts are tied for 23rd after each golfer shot identical rounds of 75-75=150 (+6). Freshman J.T. Taylor rebounded from an opening 79 to fire a 74 in the afternoon and is tied for 34th at nine over par.
Junior transfer Matt Stephens opened with a 78, but shot a disappointing 87 in the second round and finds himself in 56th place out of 60 golfers.

McNair Achievement Program
The SOU Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program is one of the TRIO programs (A Brief History of TRiO Programs) from the U.S. Department of Education. The program is designed to ensure that the student scholars receive a Bachelor Degree, enroll in graduate school, and have the knowledge, skills, and background preparation that are required to successfully complete a doctoral (Ph.D.) program. Nationally, students from low-income backgrounds are eight times less likely to complete a bachelor degree than non-disadvantaged students however the statistics for students participating in McNair programs reveal extremely high rates of baccalaureate matriculation and enrollment into graduate school programs, and these rates are much higher than rates for comparable populations who have not participated in the McNair program.
McNair participants are from disadvantaged backgrounds, have demonstrated strong academic potential, and have been selected for the honor of participating in the program. The program works closely with these participants through their undergraduate requirements, encourages their entrance into doctoral programs, and tracks their progress throughout their successful completion of the Ph.D.
During the SOU McNair program student scholars work closely with the Program Director and with a faculty mentor from their academic major. The SOU McNair program offers McNair students specialized seminars and workshops designed to enhance acceptance into doctoral programs, assistance in locating and applying for funding for doctoral programs, and support to increase the student's potential for post-baccalaureate achievement. The McNair Seminars are held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:00 am to 7:50 am. The program provides financial resources for: travel to conferences, symposiums, and meetings, cultural activities, access to tutors, research related supplies, access to the McNair Computer Technology Center, and the opportunity to develop and conduct a research project related to their major. The students who participate in the SOU McNair Program Summer Research Internship receive a $2,800 stipend.
McNair Program Timeline:
The McNair Cohort year begins on January 1 each year. All scholars are required to attend the McNair Seminars taught by Dr. Dee Southard, the Program Director.

Newcastle registered their first victory of the post-Andy Carroll era as goals from Peter Lovenkrands and Leon Best ensured a comfortable 2-0 success against Birmingham at St. Andrew's.
Lovenkrands opened the scoring after four minutes and then Best struck early in the second period to wrap up the points for the Magpies.
Birmingham enjoyed a fair share of possession but lacked a cutting edge as they suffered their first defeat in six games.

|Protect and Prevent against Kidney Disease; FREE SCREENINGS
|....Return to List
April 23, 2013
(Mendota, IL) – (May 18th, 2013)-- Millions of people at risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be able to prevent the need for dialysis and kidney transplantation with early identification and a dedication to healthy habits.
The National Kidney Foundation of Illinois (NKFI) in partnership with Mendota Community Hospital are calling on community members to protect their kidneys and prevent damage by educating themselves about CKD and the proactive ways they can reduce their risk for kidney disease.
More than 26 million Americans have chronic kidney disease, and millions more are at risk but most don't know it. CKD often develops slowly with few symptoms, and many people don't realize they're sick until the disease is advanced and requires dialysis or a transplant. But kidney disease doesn't have to be the ninth leading cause of death in the U.S.
"Unfortunately, many people don't realize that a few simple lifestyle changes can slow the progression of CKD and can reduce the chances of developing it," said Kate O'Connor, CEO of the NKFI. "Knowing the risk factors and controlling the major ones, such as diabetes and high blood pressue may prevent kidney failure. Regular physical activity and a diet low in fat, salt, sugar and protein can make a big difference in reducing risk and preventing complications."
Because identification of the disease is such an important first step, NKFI is offering a free screening for diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney disease on Saturday, May 18th, 2013 at Mendota Community Hospital located at 1401 E. 12th St. from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. All testing will be done in the Community Health Services Department at MCH. This FREE screenings, by appointment, are open to all community members especially those most at risk for CKD – anyone with diabetes, high blood pressure or a family history of kidney disease. Call 815-539-1411 to schedule your screenings.
NKFI is dedicated to preventing kidney and urinary tract diseases, improving the health and well-being of individuals and families affected by these diseases and increasing the availability of all organs for transplantation. For more information about risk factors and the NKFI visit www.kidneymobile.org or www.nkfi.org.
Participants are invited on board the KidneyMobile®, which will be located in the north parking lot of the hospital, for an educational tour and short video featuring people whose lives have been impacted by diabetes and kidney disease. You do not have to participate in the screening to visit the KidneyMobile.

Speaking Out for Research
- Details
- Published on April 01, 2014
The FASEB Capitol Hill Day is an annual event during which members of the FASEB Board and Science Policy Committee go to Capitol Hill to meet with their legislators to request increased support for the NIH and NSF. Drs. Justement, Brown and Chatham met with staff from Senators Shelby and Sessions offices as well as Representative Sewell's office. They also had an opportunity to meet directly with Representative Bachus to discuss the important role that UAB plays in the economic growth of Alabama and how its activities foster improved health for the state. Representative Bachus was very supportive as were all of the legislators that they spoke with.
A summary of the FASEB Capitol Hill Day visit for 2014 prepared by Jennifer Zeitzer of FASEB can be viewed here.
Activities such as these are important to raise awareness of the effects that decreased support for NIH and NSF have on the future of biomedical research in the US. If anyone has an interest in speaking out on behalf of biomedical research, they should contact Drs. Justement, Brown or Chatham for advice. Additionally, most professional societies have active public affairs offices that are willing to arrange visits to Capitol Hill. Remember, you can take the initiative to contact your legislators at any time by email or phone, and be sure to respond to requests to contact your legislator sent out by FASEB or other societies. The more often Congressional legislators hear from the scientific community, the more likely they will be to appreciate the importance of the NIH and NSF.

YIELD: Makes about 120 one-inch pieces
1. Grease the baking sheet with the 1 teaspoon butter, and set it aside on a heatproof surface.
2. Combine the sugar, chocolate, evaporated milk, and heavy cream, in a large (6- to 8-quart) saucepan or stockpot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, uncovered and without stirring.
3. Once the mixture has come to a boil, insert the candy thermometer. Add the corn syrup, and stir gently with the heatproof spatula until everything is mixed well. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often and making sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to keep the mixture from burning, until the mixture reaches 230°F/110°C (thread stage), about 30 minutes.
4. Add the 3 1/2 tablespoons butter and, stirring continuously, cook the caramel until it reaches 238°F/115°C (soft ball stage), 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the caramel from the heat.
5. Stir in the salt, making sure to mix well so that it's distributed evenly. Wearing oven mitts, carefully pour the caramel onto the prepared baking sheet. Allow it to cool completely until it's firm to the touch, at least 3 hours, preferably overnight. (If it's humid, cover the caramel with plastic wrap until you can cut it and wrap it in wax paper.)
6. Lightly coat a sharp chef's knife with cooking spray, and run the tip around the edge of the baking sheet to release the caramel. Gently turn the caramel out onto the lined cutting board, and cut it into 1-inch squares. Wrap the pieces in wax twisting paper (to turn the squares into little logs, fold each piece over on itself, wrap the twisting paper around it and roll the wrapped caramel against the cutting board, then twist the ends of the paper shut).
Store the caramels in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to 4 weeks; they'll last for up to 3 months in the refrigerator.

Human existence around present day Nagpur city can be traced back 3000 years to 8th century BC. Mehir burial sites at Drugdhamna(near Mhada colony) indicate megalithic culture existed around Nagpur and is still followed in present times. The first reference to the name Nagpur is found in a 10th century copper-plate inscription discovered at Devali in the neighbouring Wardha district. The inscription is a record of grant of a village situated in the visaya (district) of Nagpura-Nandivardhana during time of Rastrakuta king Krsna III in the Saka year 862 (940 CE). Inscription found at Ramtek show that during the 12th century AD Nagpur and its surrounding regions formed the part of the thickly wooded country called Jhadimandala under Yadavas of Devagiri. However, tradition ascribes the founding of Nagpur to Bakht Buland, a prince of the Gond kingdom of Deogarh in the Chhindwara district. In 1743, the Maratha leader Raghoji Bhonsle of Vidarbha established himself at Nagpur, after conquering the territories of Deogarh, Chanda and Chhattisgarh by 1751. After Raghoji's death in 1755, his son and successor Janoji was forced to acknowledge the effective supremacy of the Maratha Peshwa of Pune in 1769. Regardless, the Nagpur state continued to grow. Janoji's successor Mudhoji I (d. 1788) came to power in 1785 and bought Mandla and the upper Narmada valley from the Peshwa between 1796 and 1798, after which Raghoji II (d. 1816) acquired Hoshangabad, the larger part of Saugor and Damoh. Under Raghoji II, Nagpur covered what is now the east of Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, and parts of Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand.
In 1803 Raghoji II joined the Peshwas against the British in the Second Anglo-Maratha War. The British prevailed, and Raghoji was forced to cede Cuttack, Sambalpur, and part of Berar. After Raghoji II's death in 1816, his son Parsaji was deposed and murdered by Mudhoji II. Despite the fact that he had entered into a treaty with the British in the same year, Mudhoji joined the Peshwa in the Third Anglo-Maratha War in 1817 against the British, but was forced to cede the rest of Berar to the Nizam of Hyderabad, and parts of Saugor and Damoh, Mandla, Betul, Seoni and the Narmada valley to the British after suffering a defeat at Sitabuldi in modern-day Nagpur city. The Sitabuldi fort was the site of a fierce battle between the British and the Bhonsle of Nagpur in 1817. The battle was a turning point as it laid the foundations of the downfall of the Bhonsles and paved the way for the British acquisition of Nagpur city.Mudhoji was deposed after a temporary restoration to the throne, after which the British placed Raghoji III the grandchild of Raghoji II, on the throne. During the rule of Raghoji III (which lasted till 1840), the region was administered by a British resident. In 1853, the British took control of Nagpur after Raghoji III died without leaving a heir.
From 1853 to 1861, the Nagpur Province (which consisted of the present Nagpur region, Chhindwara, and Chhatisgarh) became part of the Central Provinces and Berar and came under the administration of a commissioner under the British central government, with Nagpur as its capital. Berar was added in 1903. Tata group started the country's first textile mill at Nagpur, formally known as Central India Spinning and Weaving Company Ltd. The company was popularly known as "Empress Mills" as it was inaugurated on 1 January 1877, the day queen Victoria was proclaimed Empress of India. Political activity in Nagpur during India's freedom struggle included hosting of two annual sessions of the Indian National Congress. Non-cooperation movement was launched in the Nagpur session of 1920. In 1925,K. B. Hedgewar founded RSS, a Hindu nationalist organization in Nagpur with an idea of creating a Hindu nation.
After Indian Independence in 1947, Central Provinces and Berar became a province of India, and in 1950 became the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, again with Nagpur as its capital. However when the Indian states were reorganized along linguistic lines in 1956, the Nagpur region and Berar were transferred to Bombay state, which in 1960 was split between the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat. At a formal public ceremony on October 14, 1956 in Nagpur B. R. Ambedkar along with his supporters converted to Buddhism starting Dalit Buddhist movement which is still active. In 1994, city witnessed its most violent day in modern times due to Gowari stampede deaths. Also see: Nagpur state
Nagpur city lies on the Deccan plateau of Indian Peninsula. The underlying rock strata is covered with alluvial deposits resulting from the flood plain of the Kanhan River. In some places these give rise to granular sandy soil. However, in low lying areas which are poorly drained, the soil is alluvial clay with poor permeability characteristics. In eastern part of city crystalline metamorphic rocks such as gneiss, schist and granites are found. In the Northern part of the city, yellowish sand stones and clays of the lower Gondwana formations are found.
Nagpur city is dotted with many natural and man made lakes with Ambazari lake being the largest of all. Other natural lakes include Futala lake, Gorewada Lake and Telangkhedi lake. Sonegaon lake along with Gandhisagar lake are man-made lakes creted by cities historical rulers. Nag river, Pilli nadi along with various nallas form the natural drainage pattern for city.
Nagpur is administered by Nagpur Municipal Corporation(NMC) which is democratically elected civic governing body. Nagpur Improvement Trust(NIT) works along with NMC and carries out works like development of civic infrastructure and new urban areas on behalf of NMC. The city is divided in 10 zones which are in turn divided into 136 wards. Each ward is represented by a corporator, majority of whom are elected in local elections.
Winter Session of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly assembles in Vidhan Bhavan during the month of December. In addition, a bench of the Bombay High Court is located in the city.. Nagpur is an important city for the scientific community as it is headquarters of number of national level scientific and governmental establishments like NEERI, Central Institute of Cotton Research (CICR), National Research Centre for Citrus, National Bureau of Soil Survey and Land Use Planning, the Jawaharlal Nehru National Aluminium Research and Development Centre, Indian Bureau of Mines, India's Intellectual Property Training Institute, the National Academy of Direct Taxes, the Chief Controller of Explosives of the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation, and regional office of the Indian Meteorological Department.
The Nagpur Police is headed by Police Commissioner, who is an IPS officer. The Nagpur Police comes under the state Home Ministry. The city is divided into three police zones each headed by a Deputy Commissioner of Police(DCP). Also there are separate DCPs each for traffic and cyber crime. The Nagpur Fire Brigade department is headed by the Chief Fire Officer, who is assisted by Deputy Chief Fire Officers. Nagpur also has National fire service college.
Nagpur is also an important city for the Indian armed forces. It is headquarter of Maintenance command of Indian Air Force. Indian Army's Ordnance factory and staff college are located on west side of city. Nagpur's suburb Kamptee has cantonment of Regimental center of Indian Army's Brigade made up of National Cadet Corps' Officers' Training School, Institute of Military Law and other establishments. Nagpur's National Civil defense College provides civil defense and disaster management training to pupils from all over India and abroad. Indian Air Force's giant IL-76 transport planes nicknamed "Gajraj" are based in Nagpur.
The food culture in Vidarbha is quite distinct from rest of Maharashtra. Nagpur is famous for its Saoji restaurants. Saoji food is very spicy but not harmful to the body, as the process of cooking has been modified to overcome any health problems.
Prominent cultural and literary societies in Nagpur include Vidarbha Sahitya Sangh(for development of Marathi), Vidarbha Rashtrabhasha Prachar Samiti (promotion and spreading Hindi) and Vidarbha Hindi Sahitya Sammelan (for promoting Hindi). The Nagpur central museum (estb 1863) maintains collections are mainly for Vidarbha region. The South Central Cultural Centre also actively sponsors various other cultural events in Nagpur city, such as the Orange City Craft Mela and Folk Dance Festival, which is noted for its numerous folk-dances. City was judged as the cleanest and second greenest in India after Bangalore. The Vidarbha Cricket Association Ground (VCA) in Nagpur is one of the nine test venues in the country. A new stadium of VCA is coming up on Wardha road which boasts a seating capacity of 100,000 people.. INOX Nagpur (area:45,000 square feet) is the first multiplex in city. The present day Maharajbagh zoo was originally a garden developed by the Bhonsle rulers.. Government of Maharashtra has approved a new safari park of international standards besides Gorewada Lake.
Nagpur is known for staying calm during communal conflicts in India. Deekshabhoomi, the largest hollow stupa, is located in Nagpur. It is an important place of dalit buddhist movement. Sri Poddareshwar Ram Mandir and Shri Mahalaxmi Devi temple of Koradi are important Hindu temples. Several important religious events are observed in the city throughout the year. Ram Navami is celebrated in Nagpur with shobha yatra which a massive procession of floats depicting various events from the Ramayana. Like the rest of India, Nagpurkars celebrate major Hindu festivals like Diwali, Holi and Dussera with fervour and enthusiasm. Celebrations lasting for several days are held on Ganesh Chaturthi and Durga Puja festivals in virtually every small locality in the city. There is sizable muslim population in the city, mostly coming from the service-class, working in local factories and government offices. There is a big concentration of Muslim-Bohras in the city who are mostly into hardware business. The famous places of worship for muslim is Jama Masjid-Mominpura, Bohri Jamatkhana-Itwari, Ahbaab Chowk Masjid, Baba Taj Dargah-Tajabad Umred Rd., Masjid-Sadar and Chhaoni. Processions are also held on important festivals of other religions such as Eid e Milad, Guru Nanak Jayanti, Mahavir Jayanti, Durga puja, Ganesh Puja and Moharram. Taj Baba Dargah is a good example of communal harmony and peaceful co-existence in Nagpur city, as people shed their religious, caste, cultural and language barriers to pay their respect to the great Soofi Saint. Every year, Government of Maharashtra organizes a week long Kalidas Festival, a series of music and dance performances, by national level artist. A number of newspapers are published from Nagpur in English, Hindi and Marathi. The Hitavada leads as English newspaper followed by local edition of The Times of India and Lokmat Times. Lokmat, Sakal, Tarun Bharat, Loksatta are some of the Marathi newspapers. Dainik Bhaskar and Nav Bharat are the Hindi dailies. Apart from the All India Radio, which has its own VividBharati service in FM band(107.8 MHz), the city now has private FM channels Radio Mirchi(98.3 MHz), My FM(94.3 MHz), Radio City(91.1 MHz)and S FM(93.5 MHz). Doordarshan TV service is available even terrestially while private satellite TV channels are available through cable operators or via Direct to Home (DTH) service.
Nagpur has been the center of commerce in the Vidarbha region since early days and is an important trading location. However, Nagpur's economic importance had gradually declined relative to Mumbai and Pune after the merging of Vidarbha into the Maharashtra because of a prolonged period of neglect by the state government. Nagpur's economy is now recovering from past slowdown and city has attracted Rupees 5,000 crore in investment in 2004.. During the slowdown, state and central government offices were a major source of employment in the city. Nagpur regional office of Reserve Bank of India was opened on September 10, 1956. The Butibori industrial area is the largest in all of Asia in terms of area. The estate's largest unit is of Indo Rama Synthetics, which manufactures synthetic polyester yarn. Other units in Butibori include the power transmission company KEC, Hyundai Unitech, ACC Nihon Castings Ltd.. Koradi & Khaparkheda are 2 thermal power stations located near Nagpur and operated by MSPGCL.
The Hingna industrial estate located on the western fringes of the city is made up of around 900 small and medium industrial units. The major ones among them are tractor manufacturing plant of Mahindra and Mahindra, casting units of NECO Ltd. (the country's largest casting group), units of International Combustions, Bajaj Auto group, Candico (the SECOND largest confectionery manufacturing plant in India ), Ajanta toothbrushes and Sanvijay Group (largest steel rolling group of companies for long products in Central India). Nagpur is home to ice-cream manufacturer Dinshaws, Indian dry food manufacturer Haldiram's and Ayurvedic product company Vicco.
Currently, Nagpur is witnessing an economic boom as "Multi-modal International Cargo Hub and Airport at Nagpur(MIHAN)" is being developed. MIHAN will be used for handling heavy cargo coming from south east Asia and Middle east Asia. Project will also include Rupees 10,000 crore Special Economic Zone (SEZ) for Information Technology (IT) companies. It is expected that the area around the MIHAN industrial project will become Mihanpur, a self-sufficient city when the project takes off. Mihanpur will metamorphise itself from being a satellite city to become a twin city to Nagpur just like the well known Hyderabad-Secunderabad twins.
Bhosle Dumb and Deaf School, Bharat Muk Vidyalaya and Residential Blind Boys Institution provide education to physically challenged. Matru Sewa Sangh's Nandanwan school is for physically handicapped and mentally retarded children.

Due to its central location in India, the Nagpur Railway Station is an important railway junction and a transit for trains that connect the country lengthwise and breadthwise, especially trains connecting India's four major metropolises (Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, and Kolkota) located in the four corners of the country.
Nagpur is also a major junction for roadways as India's two major national highways (Kanyakumari-Varanasi (NH 7) and Hajira-Kolkata (NH-6)) pass through the city. One more highway number 69 connect Nagpur to Obaidullaganj near Bhopal. Nagpur is at the junction of two Asian Highways namely AH43 Agra to Matara, Sri Lanka and AH46 connecting Kharagpur, India to Dhule, India. Auto rickshaws operate in most parts of Nagpur and are the main form of hired transport within the city.
Nagpur's Air Traffic Control (ATC) is the busiest in India, with more than 300 international flights flying over the city every day in 2004. In October 2005, Nagpur's erstwhile Sonegaon Airport was declared an international airport and was renamed Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport. Country's first ever rnational cargo hub, the Multi-modal International Cargo Hub and Airport at Nagpur (MIHAN) is planned on the outskirts of the city.

'Follow the Model,' Miss J's Guide to Unleashing Presence, Poise, and Power
Reading "Follow the Model, Miss J's Guide to Unleashing Presence, Poise, and Power" by my old friend, assistant stylist / sidekick, former partner in bettering the crimes of fashion is just like sitting around and talking to Alex, ummm Miss J.Well, we've already gone through this he has as many names as he has fabulous steps as a runway coach. He is Alex to me as his real name is Alexander Jenkins but others also know him as Jay. Then there is J. Alexander from his modeling days and Miss J to those who know him from "Americas Next Top Model." The book will explain…"Follow the Model" is a steady stream of consciousness. A long and winding journey that is colored with words so dense with visuals that you feel like you share each experience with him short of his hilarious in-the-flesh impersonations, that is. If he weren't on ANTL, he'd probably be on SNL.I've never been very good at working with people bereft of personality life is too short to be bored to death. I prefer to surround myself with creative-minded people who are inspirational and entertaining. When I was a stylist, my posse may have had a bit too much personality, if that was ever possible.Published on February 05, 2010

TuneIn Radio ($1.99) by Synsion Radio Technologies is a universal radio app for your iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
There are plenty of radio apps out there, but TuneIn Radio is a recent addition and worthy of checking out for any radio listener.
First thing's first, if you have a radiotime.com account, you can log in with it in the app. Doing so will pull in your presets and merge bookmarks. If you don't have an account, the app informs you that you can create a free account at radiotime.com. Bonus: In the iPhone version, there's a fully functional in-app web browser that you can use.
Now that I got that out of the way, let's go into the meat of the app. You'll want to search for your favorite radio stations out of the 40,000+ available, and the iPhone version has a simple Browse screen that lists various methods of browsing.
You can choose from Local Radio, Recents, Talk, Sports, Music, Location, and Language. Selecting any of these will bring you another subcategory list or a listing of stations you can tune into. If you want to get specific, you can even search by station, show, song, or artist.
On the iPad, it's a little different. There's a left sided pane that already splits up searching by Location, Music [genre], Talk, and Sports. It's a little less selection than the iPhone version but provides the same stations.
What if what you want isn't there? If you have a URL for it, just plug it in and it should start playing. This app has you covered!
Once you find a station, select it and it will start playing. Most of the time you'll find an album cover and song info for whatever is playing, but sometimes you won't (like when commercials are playing). TuneIn Radio also lets users listen to podcasts of any radio show if it's available.
Both the iPhone and iPad versions will allow you to bookmark stations, view Last.fm artist stations, Buy from iTunes, choose the quality of the stream (this largely depends on your data connection), set alarm/record/sleep timers, view schedules (if available), and report any problems with the stream.
The iPhone version also has an optional clock display that will be a transparent layer on top of the "Now Playing" screen. The iPad version also currently requires a Safari workaround to be able to play in the background since iOS 4.2 is not available yet. I'm sure once it is, the developers will update the app promptly to enable background playing like on the iPhone with iOS 4.1.
TuneIn Radio also has the nice addition of allowing users to record any station they are listening to. This is a very nice feature to help you remember something that you may want to look into later on. The only other app that I know of that has this feature is Snowtape Radio, which only has a limited amount of Internet streaming stations and doesn't cover the wide variety that TuneIn Radio has.
Keep in mind that these recordings take up space on your iDevice, so use it sparingly unless you have tons of room to spare. All recordings are kept in a separate Recordings section that appears in both the iPhone and iPad versions
The best part of TuneIn Radio is that it's like a TiVO for radio. You can pause live streams and even rewind and fast forward to any point within 30 minutes. On stations that display song information, you can even skip directly to the beginning of a song. This is a feature that I'm sure any radio listener can appreciate – you can even skip annoying commercials if you had the stream paused!
Want to try something new? The app can recommend related and recommended streams, shows, and even genres to you. This is great for exploring and finding new stations that could become your next favorites.
TuneIn Radio is an exceptional mobile radio app that is worthy of a place on your home screen. The recording and TiVO-like features make it worth the measly $2 asking price for it. If you're worried about them not carrying your favorite station, you can quickly check here: http://www.tunein-radio.com/stations.html before you decide to buy the app. Don't carry it? You can contact the developers regarding it.
It's feature-packed and looks good, especially on the iPad. Definitely for all radio fans.

The Associated Press has just updated its AP Stylebook 2012 application, adding full iPhone 5 support and allowing users to preserve their edits, notes, and entries when installing future app updates. At the moment, the application is available to download in the App Store for $24.99, and is optimized for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
As a reminder, AP Stylebook 2012 allows users to access a digital version of the Associated Press Stylebook on the go, from an iDevice. While users can search or browse through the extended document, and have the option of marking particular items as favorites, it's also possible to add entries to the application for future reference. Problematically, however, up until now, updating the app resulted in the erasure of all such notes.
Once users have version 1.2 of AP Stylebook 2012 installed, however, the app will save users' notes when the application is updated, which is a handy feature (albeit one that really should have been available from the beginning). In addition, the app is now fully optimized for the iPhone 5, and will assume the full height of the smartphone's 4-inch screen.
Both are useful features, and will surely be appreciated by users of the application.
As mentioned, AP Stylebook 2012 is a universal app optimized for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, and can be downloaded in the App Store for $24.99.
Take a look at the updated application, or for further app related news, see: "Painless" Photo-Editing App AfterLight Updated Yet Again With More Enhancements, Apple Pulls Controversial Hookup Service Bang With Friends From App Store, and Popular Grocery List App AnyList Goes Universal With Full iPad Support.

CTRacer Review: A Drive Down Frustration Lane
By Jason Gallienne (Jrgsubzero), OnRPG Journalist
One of the rarely ventured genres in MMOs would have to be racing games. Mobil Planet is here to try to put its foot into that genre with their game CT Racer.
So, if you've played Drift City before then you'll know what to expect here. You start the game by buying a car. Of course you're not rich so you'll be cruising in one of the starter vehicles. You can then either go into a race or try free roam mode. In race mode there's either Downhill battle, which is basically just a race, or head for the championship races which require a fee to enter.
The real attraction is free roam mode. Here you can do quests, duel other players, and roam around on the open road. The quests consist of a time attack mode which involves going to a certain place on the map within a certain amount of time, a mode where you have to get to points on the map without being hunted down, and lastly quests where you have to hunt down the runners. One of the best perks of this game would be how often there are events, which you can see if you check out the site.
CTRacer: roam the roads
Car Show
You'll be doing these a bit to grind up that cash you need for new cars. Obviously, you can buy new cars but you can also buy parts. To be able to equip these parts you'll need to a certain amount of Tech points that you invest in stats, which you get from completing quests.
The different stats are: Power-up, which allows you to equip parts that deal with acceleration and speed, next is the Driving-up stat that deals with handling, the Dress-up stat allows you to put on decorations, the Accessory stat, allows you to put neon lights on the bottom on your car and finally, the Special stat, which deals with the weight of your car and allows for smoother turning. You can paint your car using a red, green, and blue color slider, but to be able to buy the color change you'll need cash shop money.
Road Block
This game can be very confusing unless you do some research and ask around in-game. The mini-map didn't seem to help me that much when doing quests as it didn't tell me which way to go, the only way I could navigate was to open the map every few seconds. The map itself is just a bunch of colored lines and text but at least there are markers for your objective. There are tutorials in game that teach you the basics but those and even some on the game-site look like they were badly translated. The beginner guide on the site even has pictures that are in Korean. Did I mention that if you run out of fuel and have no way of getting cash you can't play anymore? Also, if you want to change options you will have to leave whatever you're doing and go back to the starting screen.
CTRacer Interface
The default music in-game wasn't my style so I was glad to see I could pop in my own MP3s to listen to while cruising. There's a music player on the screen and you can change the songs while driving. This can be done by going to the game folder, looking for the music folder, and placing your own songs in there.
The graphics are of decent quality but could really use some improvements. The cars look all right but the environment is low-detail. The trees for example look very odd, as if they are made of cardboard. The people that watch you as you race are 2D. The map looks as though it was made in MS paint and the game has a very old, feel to it. Also, there didn't seem to be a window mode feature and I couldn't alt-tab out.
Don't let anyone overtake you!
In conclusion, I didn't have much fun with this. The game has a very small but nice community. There are better MMO racing games out there, this one feels like a rushed translation of a sub-par game. But don't take my word for it, feel free to play it and if you end up liking this, more power to you.
- UniqueMMO Experience
- In-game MP3 player
- Events are hosted often
- Community is welcoming and friendly.
- Navigating can be frustrating
- Some things are translated poorly
- Not many people to do the races with.

Disney Versions of Star Wars and Other Lucas Films to Fear
When Disney first bought out Lucasfilm back in October, Star Wars fans cringed at the initial thought of the family-friendly animation juggernaut getting its hands on their reason for living.

Sometimes it's hard to place Star Wars references into a holiday. Thanksgiving is one of those holidays.
Happy Star Wars Speech Impediment Day!
Well, it's May the fourth again and, for some fairly humorous reasons, is Star Wars Day. However, there is one reason that May the fourth was mixed up with "May the Force" that is rarely brought up: good, old-fashioned embarrassing speech impediments. Happy Star Wars Day, everyone!
Easter: Say It with Star Wars
Easter is one of the most neglected holidays in meme-dom, so we gave it a Star Wars theme.
Boba Fett Denies Part in Saints Defense
New Orleans, LA: The latest entry as "America's Team" was delivered a crippling sack this past weekend, as former players opened allegations of knowledge and support of a bounty program against the New Orleans Saints' former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. However, many wonder why the Saints should be disciplined harshly, considering how horrible their defense has been in recent years.
Valentine's Day: Say It with Star Wars
It's been far too long since there was an update at Something Awful's Star Wars Valentines, so with the help of some last minute brainstorming, we came up with two that you can send to the Alderaanian geeks in your life.
Hate Crimes Begin Over Differing Gut Bacteria
Racism and prejudice in general were dealt a mighty blow recently, as scientists confirmed that human beings each harbor one of at least three different groupings of stomach bacteria. Much to the dismay of racist bigots everywhere, studies have also shown that the bacteria strands are not race, class, creed, sex, or sexual orientation related.
Darth Vader Receives Psychoanalysis
Not so long ago, in a lab across the Atlantic, several psychologists donned their white lab coats, popped some popcorn (extra butter), and set out to diagnose one of the most famous villains in film history—Darth Vader.
Now, any smart working person knows what this really was—a clever way for some sci-fi geeks to get paid to watch movies. But, nevertheless, their findings made their way into various academic and medical journals around the globe.

London — When mobile carriers talk about owning the customer, it's their SIM card that contains the "ownership" they're thinking about. It contains both the customer's identity and his or her ability to get on to the network. Movirtu's new service unbundles this relationship a little and provides new possibilities. Russell Southwood spoke to its CEO Carsten Brinkshulte about what they have planned.
At the moment, voice and data are two largely separate charging streams for mobile operators. One day everything will be data so the logic is that everything would be charged as data. In between those two points is a blurry middle ground in which the mobile operators try to figure out how to retreat holding on to as much revenue as possible.
Movirtu started life as a SIM platform that was able to offer multiple identities on a single phone that was aimed at low-income users wanting to share a phone. Effectively, you had a login and got your own second number and SMS messaging rather like someone visiting a cyber-café to use Hotmail or Googlemail.
The service is still being marketed but took off rather slowly so the company has pivoted to use its technology to offer a range of different services, including being able to set up a second number on smartphones as a way for companies to get to grips with the current wave of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD).
Based on the WebRTC standard, CloudPhone uses Virtual SIMs to enable calls and messages over Wi-Fi networks from non-SIM devices - using a user's mobile number as their identity. The virtual SIM card manages identity and authentication and uses your existing mobile number for devices that don't have a SIM card. So instead of having to have a separate number (like a Skype bought number) for your calls via the Internet, you can use your own mobile number. As Brinkshulte told us:"You don't have to maintain two numbers and as a user you can decide where to pick up your incoming calls."
Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO at Movirtu, said: "Mobile coverage issues and challenges with smartphone battery life need no longer be a problem for users. With CloudPhone, they can use their mobile number from a tablet or laptop to make and receive calls over WiFi. CloudPhone makes it easy for operators to extend their reach, bringing mobile numbers to the internet and even offering virtual numbers to other operators' subscribers. This delivers a competitive advantage while also increasing revenues and reducing churn."
The service concept is not entirely new as O2 has a service called ToGo using Wi-Fi to allow its customers to make international calls using an app on a smartphone. The cute thing about the Movirtu service is that it unbundles the service from the phone on to any device.
So how does the charging work? With roaming there are two parties involved, the roaming carrier and the home carrier:"On the CloudPhone, the roaming carrier is not involved. Using Wi-Fi, you make the call as if you're in the (home) country". Since one rather two parties is involved, the home carrier can offer this international calling service cheaper than if both parties were involved.
Put slightly more brutally, it cuts the roaming carrier out of the picture. This business model will work well as most home carriers have little or no interest in helping the high price roaming carriers keep their prices high. But it's not clear how Vodafone UK would take a decision on this one in relation to its impact on say Vodafone Ghana or Safaricom.
However, despite the slow sales cycles of the mobile operators Movirtu will make an announcement soon about a deal with one of the major African mobile operators, so watch this space.
The transition happening here is that the industry will go from needing a physical SIM to protect its relationship with its customer to that same customer eventually being nothing more than a name and an IP address. Right now, we're all in that messy middle ground but anything that can bring international calling rates from Africa down has to be good news.
And there's another slightly bizarre piece of news this week that goes to demonstrate that smartphones really are computers. According to a report in Trusted Reviews, Huawei is developing a phone that will run two operating systems, Windows and Android, which will go into the US market in Q2 this year.
Shao Yang, Huawei's CMO, told Trusted Reviews that this will make it "easier for people to choose Windows Phone," with Android offering a comfortable fall-back position if Windows Phone doesn't work out for them.
For those of us who are Mac users, this will remind you of the dual operating system programmes like Parallels. This was designed to shoot down the often-raised objection that a particular piece of software only worked on Windows.
The days when a phone was just a SIM card, a voice and SMS service and maybe a torch may one day be over and it may not be that far away.
