Getting into college is only half the battle. Getting through is another challenge. The National Center for Education Statistics reports that only about half of first-time full-time undergrad students at public schools graduate in six years or less. While students at private nonprofit schools fared slightly better—65 percent turned the tassel in six years—only 28 percent of those at for-profit colleges graduated in the same time frame.
These colleges ensure that students get the courses they need to graduate. Here are the public colleges with the highest four-year graduation rates according to data compiled by The Chronicle for Higher Education, with tips for all students on graduating on time. We provide average net prices to see the cost of graduating on time. The good news is none of these schools even come close to some of the most expensive colleges in America [3].
US Service Academies
Graduation rate: 88.1% – 68.7%
All five of the US service academies have spots amongst the top 20 graduation rates because they're selective, provide one-on-one attention and deliver high-quality educations. They also come with free tuition. Students enrolled in the US Naval, Military, Air Force, Coast Guard or Merchant Marine academies receive free tuition, but are required to complete anywhere from four to ten years of military service after graduation.
Kalman A. Chany, author of "Paying for College Without Going Broke," says that all college students can set themselves up for an on-time graduation by establishing academic success early.
"Freshman year, they can do with not getting in over their head," he says, adding that taking too many classes or petitioning to get into difficult upper-level courses too soon can sometimes set students back.
University of Virginia
Charlottesville, Virginia
Graduation rate: 84.5%
Average net price: $11,590
If you want selection, UVA offers 51 bachelor's degrees in fields ranging from Environmental Thought and Practice to Speech Pathology. The problem with schools that offer a broad range of majors is it's not always easy to decide which one fits best.
To avoid changing majors and delaying graduation, Chany recommends focusing on general distribution requirements until you're sure which degree works. According to the University of California Berkeley's career center, students who start college without a declared major are less likely to switch degree programs than students who enter with a major declared.
College of William and Mary
Williamsburg, Virginia
Graduation rate: 82.2%
Average net price: $12,660
Regardless of your school's graduation rate, all students can lower their chances of sticking around too long by "planning your schedule carefully and thinking ahead, not just [to] the next semester, but a few semesters down the road," says Chany.
Underclassmen may not be able to plan all four years, but they can work with an advisor to ensure that they're getting required underclassmen courses. If a required course isn't available one semester, knowing early on will give students time to rearrange schedules and investigate summer school or transfer credit options that can save them from paying for another semester.
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Graduation rate: 74.9%
Average net price: $11,028
All schools on this list recruit high-performing students, but they also provides support programs to help students conquer tough courses. If you encounter an academic issue, Chany recommends addressing it early by "…showing interest, going to the office hours, making appointments to have a conversation with the professor or the instructor."
If a professor can't solve the problem, many schools offer on-campus writing centers, study groups and tutoring programs that can boost your grade.
University of Michigan at Ann Arbor
Graduation rate: 72%
Average net price: $14,074
It's not surprising that selective schools like UM Ann Arbor have high graduation rates, but if you attend a school with a lower graduation rate, don't panic. "That doesn't necessarily mean that if a school has a lower [graduation] rate than another that it's a bad school," says Chany.
Graduation rates usually don't separate drop outs from students who transferred. Colleges that cater to students with lower likelihoods of graduating, including nontraditional, low-income and academically-challenged students, may also have lower graduation rates even if they provide a great education.
To get a bigger picture, Chany advises prospective students to research a school's student retention and transfer rates in addition to the graduation rate.
Net price information was gathered through the National Center for Education Statistics [4].

For Mario Della Grotta, time was a commodity more precious than gold. His days consisted of a long, agonizing series of ritualistic routines involving counting, memorizing, organizing books and papers, checking and re-checking, over and over again. Mario was one of millions of Americans suffering from a devastating form of mental illness called obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). At the height of his OCD symptoms, he lost the time to be with his family, to pursue his college studies, and to enjoy living. The OCD totally consumed his life. Although he usually woke up early, around 5:30 am, he would spend hours thinking about his plans for the day. "I would just lie there and review what I was going to do that day," he explains. "I would just go over and over and over my plans."
Once he was finally out of bed, it would take another two hours to shower, shave, and brush his teeth. He felt an overwhelming compulsion that everything be done in a certain way, and a certain order, and couldn't stop until things felt "just right." He would often wash and re-wash his hands, even though he had just taken a long shower. By this time, Mario had been awake for about five hours, the morning was half over, and he was barely ready to begin his day.
"There was no time to eat breakfast," he says. "After the shower, a new ritual would start. Bathing rituals were always the same, and I would get done with those about 10:30 am. Then there would be worries about papers or books being properly aligned, or calculations and handwriting being perfect. I never ate breakfast and never stopped for lunch. I only ate the dinner my wife cooked for me."
Mario's day would end pretty much the way it started, with a two or three hour routine of repeatedly reviewing what had happened that day. Sleep, like so many other things in his life, was lost to him because of his OCD symptoms.
A bad dream of a life
Mario recalls that his "bad dream" of a life, tormented by OCD, began in grammar school when he became obsessed with numbers. As he grew older his obsessions expanded to include grooming habits, dressing, and counting money. He recalls taking six hours to count the Sunday worship donations at his parish.
And then there was the incident with his wife.
"When my wife was pregnant with our first daughter, she fell down the front stairs to our house during a snowstorm," Mario recalls. "She asked me to go to the hospital with her to make sure the fall did not cause harm to the baby. As I lay in bed ritualizing, my immediate response was that I could not go. I did not tell her why, but she knew the reasons; it would have interfered with my OCD rituals. I went to the hospital only after reaching a point when I felt comfortable with my ritualizing. Living with OCD has been like having a third person involved in our marriage. How do you choose between your spouse and your OCD? Believe me, it was very difficult."
For the longest time, Mario's wife Sheri had been insisting that he seek the help of a psychiatrist for what she believed were behaviors that appeared to be obsessive compulsive. Sheri worked at Butler Hospital and knew of a team of psychiatrists, Drs. Ben Greenberg, Steve Rasmussen, and Jane Eisen, who were world-renowned experts in treating people with severe, incurable forms of OCD. In Sheri's mind, Mario fit the profile of the kind of people the doctors were trying to help. He agreed to talk with them and began taking medications and going to weekly therapy sessions. In the majority of cases, this two-pronged approach can have dramatic results. But there is a percentage of OCD-sufferers who, for reasons not understood, do not respond, and Mario was one of them.
Mario felt time was running out for him. His life "was a mess." He was depressed and had to drop his college studies. His OCD rituals were consuming 15 to 18 hours each day. He remembers feeling so hopeless about his condition that suicide became a consideration.
It was then that he heard about an experimental treatment being tested in Belgium called Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS).
Drs. Greenberg and Rasmussen were about to begin the first tests of that technique in this country.
"We knew the risks involved," recalls Mario. "My wife was scared because the doctors would be working in my brain. I took a different perspective on this. This surgery was going to help me, and in turn it would help others. I knew by committing myself to this surgery, I would be paving the road for others suffering with OCD."
At Butler, Mario was carefully screened by a team of clinicians who, after documenting his inability to respond to all other forms of therapy and medications, approved him for DBS.
In February 2001, he underwent surgery to implant the DBS devices. Two weeks later, the devices, sometimes called "brain pacemakers," were turned on and adjusted. Their purpose is to change the workings of brain pathways involved in OCD. Mario was the first person to enroll in a DBS for OCD research study funded by Medtronic, Inc (the device maker) and the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression (a private foundation).
Four years later, Mario says the stimulation has reduced his OCD symptoms by about 70 percent. He is hopeful that as he continues his behavioral therapy, that he might see more improvement. But right now, his life, and the lives of his family, are so much better.
So much better
"When I think of what life was like before the surgery — it's just a wonderful feeling now," he says. "I remember that I told my wife before the operation, 'If I have a 10 percent improvement, this will all be worth it,' but I feel so much better than that." His wife Sheri is happier and says she sees a difference in his behavior. Mario now has more time to spend with his wife and his second daughter who was born earlier this year, and to pursue his college degree.
During a three-month period during the spring and early summer, Mario was able to function with the DBS device turned off. This was a significant and unexpected development. Dr. Greenberg believes that the procedure may have reduced his symptoms enough to enable him to fully benefit from the behavioral therapy techniques he has learned for controlling the OCD. The OCD research group is continuing to monitor his successful recovery.

87-90 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - May/June 2008
(a 50/50 blend of merlot and cabernet franc) Good deep color. Aromas and flavors of black fruits and minerals, lifted by spices and violet. Still a bit reduced but offers lovely sweetness of fruit and vivacity for the year. Finishes with very good cut and length. A terrific second wine, nicely rounded out by the addition of press wine.

Acting Gov. Richard Codey said he's "a little surprised and a little upset" that so much of the public reaction to Gov. Jon Corzine's auto crash injuries has revolved around how fast his SUV was traveling and the fact that he wasn't wearing a seatbelt.
"I am a little confused and baffled by all the talk about no seatbelt and how fast, when someone is in such grave condition that we would focus on that, both by the public and the media," Codey said during a press conference in Newark about campus security.
"My thought is let's get him well, let's get him back on the job and then he can talk about no seatbelt or going too fast or something like that. I'm just a little surprised and a little upset by it," Codey said.

my son doesn't do this every night...maybe every other or every two nights but:
he goes to bed just fine....an hour or two later: he's crying hysterically.
he's cutting his first tooth right now but nothing soothes him. I've orajeled him and it makes him really mad and he hates the taste which makes him cry harder and louder. He refuses to take his binky at all and cries with his mouth wide open...odd i know.
What I've been doing is talking to him calmly and just rocking him until he stops crying and starts to fall asleep on me. I hate doing that because I don't want to cause dependence with that.
I'm wondering maybe it could be separation anxiety too? Because nothing soothes him other than being cuddled up with me.....
Maybe it's night terrors? I've researched about them and he was a little floppy and still kind of out of it when I picked him up and he was still crying.
I'm so confused but it's breaking my heart soooooo badly having him cry like that and there's nothing I can do.

Five men were arrested today after police received a tip from Fairleigh Dickinson University safety officials that a man was walking around campus waving a gun, according to a report in the Record of Hackensack.
The report said campus officials notified Teaneck police after the man along with four other individuals left the campus in a car, the report said. Once stopped, police found an unloaded Sturm Ruger .357-caliber Magnum Black Hawk revolver in the car, according to the report. None of the men attend the school but told police they were visiting a female student, the report said.

This English book is aimed at the anesthesiologist with a moderate degree of experience in anesthetizing adults but little experience with the neonate. The book provides the reader, in the authors' words, "with a working knowledge of the apparatus and techniques used to anesthetize and resuscitate the newborn infant." The authors have a large clinical background of neonatal anesthesia and have drawn upon this to produce a useful practical text.
There is a chapter on the basic sciences pertinent to neonatal anesthesia. This is entitled "Anatomy, Physiology and Prematurity." The treatment in this chapter is too elementary for a text devoted entirely to such a limited field as the anesthesia of the newborn. This should have been greatly enlarged.
The chapter "Preparation for Major Surgery" discusses intravenous therapy, cutdown techniques, choice of incubator and temperature control in the neonate. There are many practical hints which ought to make for better

Assuming the role of General Aladeen from North Africa, Cohen's hold-no-punches antics are well served with a theme that is relevant as ever in today's changing political climate. Opening May 11, 2012, this is a can't-miss watch for folks who think political correctness should be thrown right out the door.

She went shoeless in a Pakistani mosque last week out of deference to Muslim custom, but the Queen cut a less-than-formal figure in other ways as well during her first official trip since Diana's death. The Queen—who let it be known that locals need not bow or curtsy to her—told guests at a state dinner in Islamabad, "I pay tribute here to the work done in Pakistan during her life of Diana, Princess of Wales. It has been a source of comfort and strength to know that people round the world have shared our grief."
A day later, Her Majesty again appeared uncharacteristically open when she told her audience, "I sometimes sense that the world is changing almost too fast...at least for us older ones. It is the younger generation who must lead the way."
Younger as in Prince Charles? "She may be having thoughts about delegating to other members of the family," allows Ben Pimlott, author of The Queen: A Biography of Elizabeth II. But delegation does not mean abdication. Says Brian Hoey, author of several books on the royals: "She will stay on the throne until she dies."
British mourners who signed condolence books for Diana got a scare last week when London's Sunday Mirror reported that pages containing 120,000 signatures had been shredded at a Derbyshire recycling center. False alarm. The Derbyshire County Council, which was collecting the messages for eventual inclusion in bound volumes, says that although a few pages of condolences were mixed into papers destined to be recycled, they were rescued in time. "We haven't shredded anything," says a spokesperson for the Good Samaritan's Recycling Centre in Chesterfield. Apparently, an employee at the center sold one of the pages to the Mirror, and the story took off. Says Lisa Blockley, press officer for the Derbyshire County Council: "We're still looking into how things went astray."
Prince Albert of Monaco, 39, took a crack at the other family business last week, wrapping up a cameo role in the Mexican period film One Man's Hero in Durango, Mexico. Persuaded to participate by his friend Bill Macdonald, the film's producer, Albert Grimaldi plays a former member of Her Majesty's Royal Artillery fighting against the U.S. in the 1846-48 Mexican-American War. "I thought, 'If he can stand in front of 140 delegates at the U.N. and give a speech,' " says Macdonald, " 'he can sure stand in the desert and ramble off a few sentences.' " Among the Prince's lines: when actor Tom Berenger's character tells him, "We'll have no royals here!" Albert replies, "Yes, sir!"
Princess Grace would surely be proud. Says Albert's friend Mark Thomas, who has a bit part in Hero himself: "On the set one day, Albert looked around and said, 'If Mum could see me now' I told him she's up there saying, 'That's my boy.' "

Not that this is a reason to want to go to jail. But if you're going anyway…
It's an urban myth that people who live in Highland Park fill their outdoor fountains with San Pellegrino because they like the way it sparkles.
It is NOT an urban myth that jail inmates in Highland Park have their meals catered by Bubba's.
Indeed, if those inmates have anything to complain about in this regard, it's that they're getting too much food from the world-famous fried-chicken shack (right) near Southern Methodist University.
Staff Writer Melissa Repko reports on our Park Cities Blog that Highland Park contracts with Bubba's to provide breakfast, lunch and dinner for all who stay in the town's holding cell. The Highland Park Department of Public Safety went local on jail food after years of serving McDonald's.
The typical menu is a sausage biscuit in the morning, and fried chicken for lunch and dinner.
"If you're friendly to us, we'll put gravy on your mashed potatoes," said Sgt. Lance Koppa, the department's spokesman.
But inmates do not wear jumpsuits designed by Gaultier.
That's an urban myth.

I really have not worn sneakers in forever. I just love that these are maroon and are wedged. I'd been looking for a pair like these to match with a seemingly office-type outfit to break the monotony of a dull, foggy December.
So Christmas is only 5 days away. I've been getting into the habit of asking people for what they want instead of just coming up with something, and that method has worked really well for me. I've learned to act this way because of my sister-in-law. She used to ask me what I wanted, and her presents (obviously) were always my favorite.
If you prefer surprises, this could still work by having people give you something in the same category or style of presents. I met up with two of my closest friends last weekend. One of them asked for a gift card from Macy's to help pay for her favorite fragrance; and the other, after much coaxing, eventually asked for something "girly like a cross body bag so (she) could look like a lady." I told the first friend that I probably couldn't give her the full amount to pay for her perfume, but I did end up getting her a purse-sized version of the perfume instead. She didn't expect it, so her reaction was definitely priceless. When the present is genuinely appreciated, both the giver and the receiver equally benefit. I don't think I did a very good job getting my other friend exactly the girly thing she asked for, but I think it's because it's a lot easier to work with specifics! I got her a cross body bag from Aigner, because she did say something like it. Either way, it was a lot of fun just seeing them!
A good way to determine what things the "giftee" would like is to look at their social accounts for clues. Today, we are not limited to just Facebook—there's Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, among other things. You could also have someone send you their online store (such as Amazon.com) wishlist or post one yourself.
Speaking of Macy's, apply for a Macy's card if you haven't! It's so worth it. You gets tons of benefits (freebies and discounts), and also you can opt to donate to charity. A lot of the things I am giving as presents are practically free with my Macy's card.
salmon nail polish (and other pastels) – long sweater with a dog (or cat/horse/galaxy) print, nude matte pumps, and lots of sweater dresses (matched with different colored microfiber tights for the cold)
Above are just a few of the things I've been wanting myself. I usually just end up purchasing what I want, because I do rarely say what I want from people. I really should try to be a bit bolder this time around, so I can cut my costs on things I will be buying for myself anyway!
What do you really want for Christmas? By this, I mean the season of commercialism and gift giving. Jesus will remain in my heart all year long.

Daphne Scholinski with Jane Meredith Adams
Even now, it's always the same question: Why don't you act more like a girl?" begins Daphne Scholinski in this memoir of her high school years, which she spent being treated in several Chicago mental institutions for "gender identity disorder"—or, in layman's terms, acting like a tomboy. After this provocative introduction, we learn in bits and pieces that Scholinski was initially institutionalized for behavior problems, that her sad young life also included random sexual abuse by neighbors and caretakers, membership in a street gang and "a touchy and violent" father who had been traumatized by his military experience in Vietnam.
It is easy to understand why Scholinski, now an artist who lives in San Francisco (and was invited to the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women, in Beijing in 1995), focused on the diagnosis and treatment of gender identity disorder. We learn for example, shockingly, that her therapy included regular instruction in makeup and hair styling—and this was in the 1980s: "Three years in three mental hospitals for girly lessons," she writes dismissively—and at a price of $1 million.
But Scholinski shortchanges other aspects of her life; enough of her warmth, wry humor and guts show through to keep us turning pages, but her complex, brutal story deserves a better telling. (Riverhead, $23.95)

Pamela Des Barres
|Pamela Des Barres
|Pamela Ann Miller
September 9, 1948
Reseda, California, United States
|Rock and roll groupie, author
|Michael Des Barres (m. 1977–91)
Pamela Des Barres aka Miss Pamela (born Pamela Ann Miller on September 9, 1948 in Reseda, California) is a former rock and roll groupie, actor, author and magazine writer.
Early life[edit]
Des Barres' parents were from Kentucky. Just before she was born, her father moved the family to southern California.[1] Her mother was a homemaker and her father worked for Anheuser-Busch and occasionally as a gold miner. Des Barres idolized the Beatles and Elvis Presley as a child, and fantasized about meeting and dating her favorite Beatle, Paul McCartney.[2] Later, upon discovering the Rolling Stones, she daydreamed of Mick Jagger, while growing up in Los Angeles in the early 1960s.[3]
Rock music groupie[edit]
A high school acquaintance, Victor Hayden, introduced Des Barres to his cousin Don Van Vliet, better known as Captain Beefheart, a musician and friend of Frank Zappa. Van Vliet in turn introduced her to Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones, which drew her to the rock music scene on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. She started to spend her time with the Byrds and other bands, and when she graduated from high school in 1966, she took various jobs that would allow her to live near the Sunset Strip and pursue relationships with rock musicians. One high school art class assignment was to visualize an object that showed both texture and color. Having fantasized about Mick Jagger's genitals, she made them the subject of her painting, which earned her an "A" grade.[3] After securing a position as the babysitter for Zappa's children, she at last found herself a few years later finding multiple opportunities to compare the drawing with the actual object.[3] She famously paired up as a friend to a lot of old school rockers, as well as with future sexual partners Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Keith Moon,[3][4] Nick St. Nicholas, Noel Redding, Jim Morrison, Chris Hillman, Gram Parsons, Waylon Jennings, and actors Brandon deWilde, Michael Richards, Woody Allen and Don Johnson.[2]
Music career[edit]
Des Barres was also a member of the GTOs, which was what is believed by many to be the world's first all-girl groupie "musical" group sponsored by Frank Zappa.[5] The group started out as the Laurel Canyon Ballet Company, and began performing as an opening act for Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. The GTOs set was an eclectic mix of music, spoken word, and performance art, all backed by Zappa's band (since none of its members were formally trained to sing or play an instrument). In 1969, they released their only album entitled Permanent Damage on Zappa's record label. Various music and lyrics were co-written by Zappa and some of the girls. Some of the personnel featured on the project included vocalist Rod Stewart, guitarist Jeff Beck, and drummer Aynsley Dunbar. Additional production credits went to Little Feat guitarist / bandleader Lowell George. The GTOs had only one performance under that name along with the Mothers of Invention and Captain Beefheart at the Shrine Auditorium in the metropolitan area of Los Angeles during the summer of 1969. The entire concert lasted for six hours. The group dissolved just a month after the album's release due to some of its members being arrested and detained for drug possession. A couple of them went on to record with Zappa on his own original material in the late 1970s as well as land sizable roles in his 1971 underground cult film classic 200 Motels. Another fact worthy of note is the reference towards Des Barres and bandmate Miss Mercy that appeared on page 1 in the Best Seller's List book The Hammer Of The Gods: The Unofficial Led Zeppelin Story, where they were interpreted as being 'the life of the party' as the British group would always call them when they would travel to Los Angeles on tour. As Des Barres explained in her diary, the GTOs are still something of the enigma that complemented the musicians in the true sense of the word muse, rather than focusing on being the musicians themselves.
Acting career[edit]
In the 1970s Des Barres decided to pursue a career as an actress, and acted in a few movies, including Zappa's 200 Motels, commercials, and a year acting on the soap opera Search for Tomorrow in 1974. She continued to work as a nanny/babysitter for Zappa, who urged her to continue to keep writing the diary she had begun in high school, in which she had faithfully recorded the important details of her life. When her acting career stalled, she continued to work for the Zappa family as a nanny for Zappa's children, Dweezil and Moon Unit.[4]
Family life[edit]
On October 29, 1977, she married Michael Des Barres who had been lead singer for Detective (signed to Led Zeppelin's Swan Song Records label) and Silverhead, and who, in 1985, was tour vocalist for Power Station. They have a son, Nicholas Dean Des Barres (GameFan magazine's Nick Rox). The couple divorced in the summer of 1991.
Des Barres wrote two memoirs about her experience as a groupie, I'm with the Band (1987) and Take Another Little Piece of My Heart: A Groupie Grows Up (1993). Conjecture has been published saying that Cameron Crowe drew from these memoirs to create the groupie character Penny Lane for his film Almost Famous; however, Crowe has written that the character was a fictionalization of events he witnessed as a young music journalist, a composite of a handful of girls calling themselves the "Flying Garter Girls," primarily one named Pennie Trumbull who went by Pennie Lane.[6][7] The memoirs by Des Barres still have a connection to the film: actress Kate Hudson read them for inspiration as she portrayed Penny Lane.[8]
Des Barres has written two non-fiction books other than her memoirs, Rock Bottom: Dark Moments in Music Babylon and Let's Spend the Night Together: Backstage Secrets of Rock Muses and Supergroupies (Chicago Review Press, 2007). An updated edition of I'm With the Band was released in 2005.
In 2013, Pamela launched her clothing line, "Groupie Couture;" she also writes articles for online and print publications. She has been teaching writing classes for several years, both in Los Angeles and in cities across the United States, and affectionately refers to her writers as her "Dolls."

Focus on Rationalising Tax Structure in Transport Sector
By Express News Service nie - THIRUVANANTHAPURAM
Published: 28th December 2013 10:23 AM
Last Updated: 28th December 2013 10:23 AM
Bilateral agreement will be reached between the states in rationalising the tax structure in the transport sector, said State Transport Commissioner Rishi Raj Singh while briefing reporters about the decisions of the 20th meeting of the South India Transport Council (SITCo) - Standing Committee of Transport Ministers of the Southern States - at the Press Club here on Friday. "At present, there is a huge difference in the tax for interstate contract carriage vehicles between Kerala and Karnataka. "Also, Kerala has demanded that Karnataka should revisit levying tax for one year from tourist vehicles entering Karnataka and bring down the duration like in Kerala. "Uniformity of taxes among the southern states would give a boost to the inter-state movement of vehicles,'' he said. State Transport Secretary V M Gopala Menon and Joint Transport Commissioner Alex Paul were also present at the briefing. Bilateral discussions were held between the Transport Ministers of Kerala and Karnataka as part of the meeting in which various issues between the states were raised. Kerala asked Karnataka to consider the issue of vehicles from Kerala, especially tankers, which are being re-registered in Karnataka without necessary fitness checks once their registration period expires. The state has asked Karnataka to tighten their security norms and ensure the fitness of all the vehicles at the time of registration. The meeting also discussed the distribution of funds as part of Central Government's Nirbhaya project for women's safety. The issues of goods vehicles carrying pilgrims and overloading of vehicles to Sabarimala had also come up for discussion. The Transport Commissioner also said that the issue of tax slab differences between the states was also discussed at the meeting. Against the backdrop of two recent road accidents involving Volvo buses in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, the Council has taken decision to put in place stringent safety norms for luxury buses. The Council also decided to recommend the Central Government to make speed governors mandatory for all kinds of vehicles which are produced since April 1, 2014.

What is ALE, EDI and IDOC in SAP??
How its linked with MM??
Explain the above things with example
IDOC = Intermediate Document
IDoc or Intermediate Document is a standard SAP document format. IDoc's allow different application systems to be linked via a message-based interface.
For more detailled information look in SAPNET under
For exapmle in purchasing:
The IDoc message type ORDERS is used to send a purchase order to a vendor.
EDI = Electronic Data Interchange
EDI stands for Electronic Data Interchange, which means that data is electronically transmitted from one system to another. The main requirement of EDI is that the systems of the communicating partners understand each other. Usually, the data from one partner gets mapped into the format of the other partner and vice versa.
Supporting this there exist EDI standards (named EDIFACT, ANSIX12, ODETTE, VDA, TRADACOMS, SPEC2000, ...), where the data formatting for exchanging documents are specified. Normally the partners agree using a special standard message (for example EDIFACT message ORDERS for a purchase order).
In the SAP system the outgoing data are stored in IDoc format. When processing a receiving document, the Inbound SAP system receives the data in IDoc format too.
Further processing (converting/mapping from IDoc in another format and vice versa) depends on the partner agreement:
If the partners have agreed using a special EDI standard, mapping between IDoc and the EDI standard is necessary. This mapping is not supported by SAP, external converters or EDI subsystems must be installed by the customers for this purpose.
If both systems use SAP software, there is usually no need for mapping (which can save users a lot of money). The two systems are often connected via ALE (Application Link Enabling).
If partners are using XML, the SAP Business Connector can be used. The business connector is a tool used to help customers connect via EDI. It includes routing and mapping and is XML compatible. To read more about XML at SAP go to SAPNet Alias 'XML' (http://intranet.sap.com/XML).
For example:
Vendor can send the invoice by EDI creating an IDoc with message type INVOIC using IDoc Type INVOICxx. He can determine (depending on the partner agreement) how to create an IDoc for Inbound processing with FI or MM-IV.
ALE = Application Link Enabling
ALE is short for Application Link Enabling. Special Basic programs support this functionaliity (see documentation of BC_MID_ALE).
To link applications you have to configure an ALE model. It contains all relevant data about how a system's configuration (normally a central system and assigned local systems) exchange data.
With help of the ALE technology, the distribution of contracts is possible in MM via the following business process:
Contracts that a central purchasing organization distributes to local purchasing organizations to allow the latter to utilize the more favorable conditions they contain for the procurement of materials or external services.Each local purchasing organization sends information on its own release orders back to the central purchasing organization.
For this purpose the contract in the central system can be copied to the local systems (with message BLAORD and COND_A). When a release order to a distributed contract is created in a local system, the release docu is automatically sent to the central system (with message BLAREL) updating the release docu of the contract in the central system.
Precondition for this scenario is, that in all systems the used master data (material, vendor, sources of supply, ...) are the same. This master data can be distributed by ALE, which should be done before sending the contract from the central system. Available message types for distribution of master data are:
MATMAS (ARTMAS in retail system) for material master
CREMAS for Vendor master
INFREC for info record
SRCLST for source list
COND_A for conditions of info record
SRVMAS for service master data
Technical documentation to ALE can be found by path:
Basis Components / Middleware (BC-MID) / Application Link Enabling (BC-MID-ALE)

WE19 Testing IDOCs
BD87 Status Monitor for ALE Messages (reprocess)

536411 Sample scenario for ALE contract distribution (only internally released)
I hope I could help you fruther
Best regards
ALE - Application link enabling - To connect different SAP systems or connect SAP system to non- SAP system for document /master data exchange
IDOc- it is data container whcih carries the business data (transaction data or master data)to other system.
With refence to MM:
PO created in our SAP system will flow to vendor as a IDOC and create SO in vendor system provided both systems are connected through ALE /EDI to avoid processing time.

EDI = Electronic Data Interchange
Cross-company exchange of electronic data (for example business documents) between domestic and international business partners who use a variety of hardware, software, and communication services. The data involved is formatted according to predefined standards. In addition to this, SAP ALE technology is available for data exchange within a company.
Here is some thing which helps you and here the purchase order is taken as example too..
Electronic Data Interchange, or EDI, is the electronic exchange of business data. Using a standard format, EDI provides a method of transmitting business data from one computer to another, without the need to re-key data. This electronic link can result in more effective business transactions. With EDI, paper documents such as invoices can be replaced with electronic transmissions, thus time is saved, and the potential for error is minimized. Data can be exchanged at any time. Related business expenses, such as postage, printing, phone calls, and handling, can also be significantly reduced. EDI can aid in the support of manufacturing efforts, such as Just-in-Time and Third Party Warehousing, and financial efforts, such as Electronic Payments.
What parts of the business cycle can be supported by EDI?
Any business documents that are currently exchanged using paper can be converted to an EDI. Standards. Standards include ANSI X12 and XML/EDI are primarily used in the United States, while EDIFACT is used in Europe and Asia.
How does EDI get started?
EDI gets started when one company contacts another expressing interest in trading business documents electronically using Electronic Data Interchange. The two companies must first determine each other's EDI capabilities. If you do not already know your EDI capabilities, we have prepared a questionnaire to help you determine them. If you are already EDI capable, we will coordinate with your technical staff to determine a testing plan. Upon completion of testing the EDI documents, the appropriate business personnel will set a production start date to begin the exchange of EDI business data. If you are not EDI capable, we recommend you first obtain a commitment from your upper management. Your company will need to allocate resources and capital for software, hardware, testing, possible programming, and training.
What is the flow of EDI?
The flow of EDI depends on the sophistication of your systems and your EDI software. If you have internal purchasing/order entry systems, you will need interface programs that can extract and insert data out of and into these systems. EDI programs that interface with your internal systems are preferred over software that requires re-keying of data. Embassy Software specializes in seemless interface between EDI and your back office systems. Using a purchase order as an example of a business document your customer would send that PO electronically (850) to you. It could be sent either through a VAN (Value Added Network) or through an FTP server. You would take that 850 and convert it either into and ODBC database, a flat file or XML document to be imported into your Order System with the use of EDI Software such as PassportXchange.. Using EDI communication software, which is part of the PassportXchange package you would pull down data at set intervals from the VAN or FTP. These documents are then processed through EDI translation software and output to our order entry system. Finally, an EDI document called a functional acknowledgment (997) is sent to your customer.
IDoc (for intermediate document) is a standard data structure for electronic data interchange (EDI) between application programs written for the popular SAP business system or between an SAP application and an external program. IDocs serve as the vehicle for data transfer in SAP's Application Link Enabling (ALE) system. IDocs are used for asynchronous transactions: each IDoc generated exists as a self-contained text file that can then be transmitted to the requesting workstation without connecting to the central database. Another SAP mechanism, the Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) is used for synchronous transactions.
A large enterprise's networked computing environment is likely to connect many geographically distributed computers to the main database. These computers are likely to use different hardware and/or operating system platforms. An IDoc encapsulates data so that it can be exchanged between different systems without conversion from one format to another.
IDoc types define different categories of data, such as purchase orders or invoices, which may then be broken down into more specific categories called message types. Greater specificity means that an IDoc type is capable of storing only the data required for a particular transaction, which increases efficiency and decreases resource demands.
An IDoc can be generated at any point in a transaction process. For example, during a shipping transaction process, an IDoc may be generated that includes the data fields required to print a shipping manifest. After a user performs an SAP transaction, one or more IDocs are generated in the sending database and passed to the ALE communication layer. The communication layer performs a Remote Function Call (RFC), using the port definition and RFC destination specified by the customer model. The IDoc is transmitted to the receiver, which may be an R/3, R/2, or some external system.
Check these links for IDOCs
What is ALE?
Application Link Enabling (ALE) is a set of business processes and tools that allow applications on different computer systems to be linked. This can be done between different SAP systems as well as between SAP and non-SAP systems.
In a single SAP system different applications are integrated via a single database (e.g. finance, sales, production, human resources). However, many companies do not have just one integrated system but a distributed environment with different applications running on different systems. To run the whole business in such an environment, the distributed applications have to be linked. This can be done through Application Link Enabling (ALE).
ALE provides distributed business processes that can be used to link the applications on different platforms. There are some ALE business processes delivered in the standard SAP system. Furthermore, there are tools that can be used to change the existing ALE business processes or to implement new distributed business processes.
Besides the business processes, there are special ALE services that are required to set up and control a distributed environment. These services include a distribution model, business object synchronization, and tools for monitoring or error handling.
ALE is a major part of SAP's Business Framework Architecture. Besides the basis middleware, that provides the communication between components, and the interfaces (BAPIs), ALE business processes and ALE services enable the cooperation of the single components within the framework.

The Santa Monica, California, native died Friday in a hospital in Puerto Escondido, in Mexico, where he was on an extended surfing trip, reports the Los Angeles Times. It's believed he died of a heart attack.
Adams gained attention in 2001 when he was featured prominently in Dogtown and Z-Boys, an award-winning documentary about Adams and childhood friends Stacy Peralta and Tony Alva. The teenagers formed Z-boys in the '70s in the Dogtown neighborhood of Santa Monica and unwittingly pioneered modern skateboarding, which was heavily influenced by their surfing moves.
As he grew up, Adams was in and out of prison, often due to drug charges, reports the Times. However, friends say he had turned a corner in recent years.
In 2005, director Catherine Hardwicke directed Lords of Dogtown, a somewhat fictionalized version of the trio's story. Emile Hirsch played Adams.
On Friday, Hirsch Tweeted this tribute: "We lost a true wild man with the passing of Jayboy. Jay Adams was a legend who will be missed."

Professional skateboarder Tony Hawk also Tweeted two memorials to Adams on Friday.
"Goodbye Jay Adams. Thank you for inspiring us to get vertical and to keep pushing the limits of what is possible." he wrote.

In another, Hawk slyly paid homage to Adams's anti-authority streak (warning: irreverent, NSFW pic).
"This one's for Jay Adams; still out here thanks to you. Skating is still the best thing ever, even on days like this."

New Documentary Brings Light to 'Dark Girls'
By Alicia W. Stewart CNN | 9/11/2013, 4:59 p.m.
Yvonne Hampton is 69 years old, and lives clear across the country from her older brother, Bill. But she can still rely on him to look out for her -- just as he did when she was growing up.
"The way our parents raised us, we stood up for ourselves, and my brother always protected me," Hampton said.
Even though Bill stuck up for his little sister as they came of age in Poughkeepsie, New York, he couldn't always protect himself, or her, from the cruel words of playmates who viewed their dark skin as offensive.
"We were made fun of, called 'Little Black Sambo' -- that was our introduction to kindergarten," she said. "You were made to feel 'less than' because your skin was darker, and (that) being dark brown or black was ugly."
Hampton's experiences as a "dark girl" were an inspiration for Bill Duke's documentary that explores the sometimes painful, undercover story of colorism -- discrimination based on skin tone -- inside and outside the black community.
Now a respected actor and filmmaker, Duke used his industry clout to bring attention to the issue.
Duke, along with D. Channsin Berry, co-directed and co-produced "Dark Girls," which will be released on DVD September 24.
When it premiered on the OWN channel earlier this year, the film stirred spirited conversation about black beauty, just as it did at screenings around North America.
"DARK GIRLS is a phenomenal documentary that opens the door on that light skinned/dark skinned thang," Oprah tweeted in June.
After the trailer hit the Web in 2011, the filmmakers soon learned that the issue did not only resonate among darker-hued American women.
"I started getting e-mails from women in Poland, and I was thinking to myself, I don't know any black women in Warsaw, or Poland or other places around there," Berry said. "And I kept getting (correspondence) from women's groups in the Netherlands asking us to talk about this, and screen the movie. And it was deep."
In this edited conversation, co-directors Bill Duke and D. Channsin Berry shared with CNN what they learned making the film and how the conversation began.
CNN: How did two male directors become interested in making a film about "Dark Girls"?
Duke: I saw the things that my sister went through -- she's dark skinned -- with boys not considering her attractive in her youth and the pain that it caused her. You have to explain to people the damage that it does to a young woman, and to see it and experience it is something that you don't forget: her crying in her room alone, her trying to lighten her skin, her feeling ugly, me having to beat up young boys because they said she was ugly, that type of thing.
CNN: How do you define "dark girls"? The documentary begins by looking at the issues of intracultural colorism within the black American community, but also touches on issues of color in India and around the world.
Berry: It changed, it really changed through my research. It was about sisters who were dark in complexion. But the more I started to do interviews around the country and around the world -- and this is the crazy thing I found out, it was so enlightening -- that all women around the world are "dark girls" at some point in time in their lives. It has nothing to do so much with the complexion of one's skin. It has everything to do with the lack of women's self-esteem. That's what I learned. And I also learned that pain is pain: If you're dark, you've got some pain, if you're light in complexion, you've got some pain.

Vegan Cookies and Bars
Brownie Bites
These delicious no-fat-added vegan cookies taste like luscious brownies. Contributed by vegan chef Beverly Lynn Bennett, this recipe was a favorite of my kids during their teen years, along with her Crispy Rice and Almond Treats. Moist and fudgy, it isn't hard to see why it was one of their most frequently requested treats. Photos by Hannah Kaminsky. more→
Vegaroons (Vegan Macaroons)
Flaxseeds stand in for the egg whites in this delicious recipe, while garbanzo flour helps to bind them. Now that is jazzy. Recipe from Jazzy Vegetarian Classics: Vegan Twists on American Family Favorites* (BenBella Books 2013), reprinted by permission.
Heart-Shaped Almond Coconut Granola Bars
I really loved Almond Joys growing up (and of course I will not be eating those now) so I wanted to come up with a granola bar that would be reminiscent of that. Oh my gosh, I think I did it! The whole family really loved these and I swear you will think you are eating something unhealthy they are so good. These are even yummier the next day and they are a very moist, cake-like granola bar. Recipes and photos contributed by Jennifer Strohmeyer of Virtually Vegan Mama. more→
Chocolate-Flecked Pumpkin Seed Cookies
These rich-tasting, slightly chewy cookies come together quickly, for those times when you just need a snack pronto. Pumpkin seeds are a good source of zinc, involved in more body processes than any other mineral and important for healthy immune functioning.

Low-Fat Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
These low-fat vegan chocolate chip cookies use only a third of the sugar called for in most conventional cookie recipes, and butter is replaced with applesauce and just a smidgen of oil—that's the magic. From their smooth texture, you'd never think that these cookies are whole grain, made with whole wheat pastry flour. Your family and guests will love you for it! Photos by Hannah Kaminsky.
Soft and Chewy Granola Bars
Here's an easy-to-make vegan bar filled with chewy granola in a soft dough. It's a kind of a cross between a granola bar and a blondie bar. Perfect as a mid-afternoon snack with coffee or tea, an on-the-go breakfast, or to pack in the lunchbox. Adapted from The Vegetarian Family Cookbook. more→
Vegan Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
These easy vegan chocolate chip cookies contain my favorite baking secret—using applesauce as a substitute for a lot of the fat and sugar used in conventional baked goods. Send them in the lunchbox, or serve with coffee or tea. This makes about 2 dozen smaller cookies or 1 dozen really big cookies. Photos by Evan Atlas.
Vegan Black Bean Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Vegan chocolate chip cookies, yum! But vegan black bean chocolate chip cookies, huh? Yep, vegan made, omnivore tested, approved! Will kids love them? They sure won't know what the secret ingredient is, so don't tell them! Recipe contributed by Sharon Nazarian of Big City Vegan. Photos by Hannah Kaminsky.

"It's a funny thing," Holmgren said. "It will be talked about, not just with us, but a lot of teams, this week, on how to do this. I thought a lot about it. I'm not sure there's a right way to do it. I believe in momentum going into the playoffs. I do believe in that. At the same time, everyone holds their breath that no one gets hurt. So how do you balance that? So what we're going to do, we're going to practice hard this week. We're going to play the guys hard. They are approaching it that way and keep our fingers crossed."
Holmgren said that part of his motivation for playing his starters is to continue to build on the running game that finally seemed to emerge last week against Baltimore.
For the entire season, Holmgren has been seeking consistency from the running game. He finally got it against the Ravens, the second-ranked run defense, with 144 yards, including 73 from Shaun Alexander.
To go away from that against the Falcons, who have the 25th-ranked run defense in the league, relinquishing 125 yards a game, would be foolhardy, Holmgren feels.
"The running game, we were teased a little bit there and I kind of like some of the things we did," Holmgren said. "That's absolutely one thing I'm looking at."
Holmgren also is looking at the practical side of things.
"I think when you start wholesale substitutions before the game or early in the game, there really is a tremendous domino effect on the special teams," Holmgren said. "Take the linebackers as an example. Your backup linebackers in the game, if they're active, you've got six or seven. The three backup guys are your core special teams guys. If you make mass substitutions, now they're playing every play and special teams. You're not going to take your other guys and have them play on special teams. Now you're real thin there. You open yourself up, even a little bit more to injury, in those situations so there's a lot of little things to think about."
Holmgren did say that players with injuries, like Rocky Bernard and Walter Jones, will not practice at all this week, and he will make a decision on their availability later in the week.
He also said that if the Seahawks get an early lead against a Falcons team in the midst of a six-game losing streak, he would rest quarterback Matt Hasselbeck for the remainder of the half.
Other than that, though, this week will be, for the most part, like Week 5.
"When we got to the halfway point, we were 4-4," Holmgren said. "I challenged the football team to take it one at a time and let's try to win eight in a row. Let's run the table one game at a time and we almost did that. I did not like the feeling that we had two weeks ago (in a loss to Carolina) so we're going to play the game."
SERIES HISTORY: 11th meeting with the Falcons. Seahawks lead series, 8-2, including the last four meetings. The last three games have been decided by a combined 11 points, and one of the games went into overtime.
--Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander wants to play as much as he can in Sunday's game because it is almost like he is going home. "You never want to go back (to) the south and watch," Alexander said. "It's a good middle spot between my college and my home. So there will be people from Florence, Kentucky there. Pretty much the whole state of Kentucky is invited, and the whole state of Alabama. It'll be exciting for me, no matter what coach says."
--Seahawks defensive backs coach Jim Mora Jr. is returning to face his former team for the first time since he was fired last season. "He's very much looking forward to the game," Mike Holmgren said. "But without overstating it, I believe he's moved on now and he's having fun coaching this year. I believe he's glad he's in Seattle. Would he still like to be a head coach? Yeah, certainly. That's obvious. But now he's moving forward so I think going back there, he's going to coach like he always does. He's going to get his guys ready to play."
--Seahawks defensive end Patrick Kerney, who spent eight years with the Falcons, said Atlanta's Keith Brooking is the player after whom he models himself. "He was the perfect model to follow," Kerney said. "A five-time Pro Bowler who walked the line day in, day out. He parked in the right place, did every lift, practiced hard, played with a broken back. That's not a joke either. He played with a broken back and he was a tough guy, a great guy to model yourself after so I was really lucky to have him around."
--PK Josh Brown needs three field goals to pass Todd Peterson and into second place on the team's all-time scoring list. Peterson was Atlanta's kicker the last time the teams played, in the season opener in 2005.
--Alexander said that his wife runs such a tight household that he had to go retrieve his daughter from her room at 8 in the morning on Christmas.
--If the Seahawks allow 13 points or fewer, they will set a club record for fewest points allowed in a season.
--Holmgren said he was not very impressed with the way Bobby Petrino left the Falcons earlier this year. "I am not going to cast judgment on that because I don't know all the ins and outs or things there," Holmgren said. "All I can say, that is bad. For me, I couldn't do that. If I ever reached the point to where it was as hard as it appeared to be, you just got to say, 'hey, you can't.' I couldn't do it. It wouldn't be any fun though, but I couldn't do it."
BY THE NUMBERS: 40 -- Number of yards Nate Burleson needs to set a franchise record for punt return yardage.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "They've just had an unbelievably bad run of luck starting back with what happened this summer with Michael (Vick) right on down to injury situations with both offensive, both defensive tackles. It's just about too much for any team to overcome." -- Patrick Kerney, on his former team, the Atlanta Falcons.
Even though Mike Holmgren says that he will approach this game like any other, there is a chance that he rests some of his veteran starters with injuries. Most likely to sit are offensive tackle Walter Jones, who would be replaced by Floyd Womack to rest Jones' sore shoulder; Rocky Bernard, who sat out last week with a sore groin and was replaced by Craig Terrill; and, after getting a lead, quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, who was replaced in last week's victory with eight minutes left by backup Seneca Wallace.
--OT Walter Jones did not practice on Wednesday because of a sore shoulder and is questionable for Sunday.
--DT Rocky Bernard did not practice because of a sore groin and is questionable for Sunday's game.
--WR D.J. Hackett participated in Wednesday's practice and could be available to play on Sunday. Hackett has missed the last three games with a high-ankle sprain.
--CB Josh Wilson had limited participation in Wednesday's practice because of a quad injury and is questionable to play in Sunday's game.
--S Mike Green did not practice because of a knee injury but is probable to play in Sunday's game against the Falcons.
--WR Deion Branch had limited participation in practice because of a calf strain but is probable to play on Sunday.
GAME PLAN: Against a team that has lost six straight and endured one of the most difficult seasons in recent memory, the Seahawks should be able to win this game just by stepping on the field. They are likely, however, to focus on their run game, which got untracked last week against Baltimore and is facing the 25th-ranked run defense this week. If that is not successful, Matt Hasselbeck will likely get some throws to get a lead, then be rested in the second half.
INJURY IMPACT: OT Walter Jones will not practice all week and is a game-time decision. Even if he plays, he is not likely to play the entire game. He is good enough to skip the game and be ready for the first round of the playoffs.
DT Rocky Bernard will not practice all week to rest a sore groin that kept him sidelined last week and is not likely to play against the Falcons. He will be replaced by Craig Terrill if he does not play. Bernard never practices so to skip the game would not be a big deal for the veteran.
