After sending video to a pitching guru in New Orleans and getting his mechanics diagnosed, Abraham's fastball returned to its dominant mid-90s state. Re-signed as a six-year free agent, he would have been ranked in the top-60 had he been eligible. He has the demeanor on the mound down pat and a solid slider to compliment the heat. He has an invite to spring training and it would not surprise to see him in the big leagues this season.
While he posted an awful record in the DSL, Berroa is a power arm in the Simon Castro mold. He can pump it in the mid-90s with some further projection and developing secondary pitches – a slider that is improving and a changeup that comes in too hard. Finding the strike zone and consistent mechanics will be key.
Jose De Paula
Already blessed with a very good curveball and having the added bonus of being left-handed, De Paula can reach 90 MPH with his heater and has projection. He has good mechanics and is relatively polished for his age. A third pitch will put him even further ahead.
A dirty slider that drops out of the zone is what he uses to put people away but he will, at times, have a tough time locating it for a strike. If the opposition can pick up the spin they lay off and his walk totals escalate. When he is in the zone he is tough to hit and the hits generally aren't hard.
Daniel Garce
His second year in the DSL was much better than the first. He has a lean, live body that has projection. The ball jumps off his bat and he could develop into an interesting player in the middle of the diamond.
Trusting his stuff is the difference between being a prospect and an also-ran. Garramone has a good repertoire but oftentimes doesn't go in with the confidence he needs to get the job done. His two-seamer tails away and down but he often has a tough time keeping the rest of his repertoire down in the zone, as he will fall off line with his delivery to the plate.
He improved tremendously over the previous year and could profile as a utility player in the Placido Polanco mold, working at multiple positions and providing a line drive bat, if he can continue to make progress.
Mariekson Gregorius
A name few have heard of but one that could make waves at a different position than he currently sits. Gregorius is an outfielder with good athleticism but has a tremendous arm that some project will eventually land on the mound with a plus-fastball in tow.
A fiery competitor, Harrington performed better than his stuff. He consistently throws strikes and works down in the zone. The left-hander relishes pressure situations and is a workhorse out of the pen.
A left-hander who throws sidearm is a hard find. He doesn't throw very hard but the different plane he throws and his uncanny location makeup for the top-end heater. He hides the ball well and throws strikes – a staple of a reliever. If he can come close to duplicating the success of this year he will be on the radar.
He has been working for two years on better plate discipline and seeing more pitches. When the ball is in his sweet spot he can deliver but too often chases out of the zone. A shoulder injury this year derailed the makings of a quality season and he was not the same when he returned.
Ryner Liriano
He has yet to play professionally but profiles as a five-tool talent with good size. He has an athletic frame that has power, can run, and plays good defense. The Padres expect big things from this young Dominican.
A full-time catcher for the first time this year, Lobaton flashed a good bat and improving defense. He has a good arm and receives the ball well. Working on his choice of pitch sequence and overall call of the game are areas he needs to improve.
Re-signed as a six-year minor league free agent, Moreno is a tough right-hander that throws strikes. A former starter, Moreno found a home as a reliever that relished working in tough situations.
Stiven Osuna
A pitcher with know-how. He doesn't have the stuff of some other pitchers on the list but understands the game better at this stage. His fastball tops out in the low-90s but he compliments it with a good slider and changeup. He is a polished kid that throws strikes.
The right-hander can be filthy at times with a solid fastball and a good slider. He gets too amped up, however, during games and it makes him wild and ineffective. Controlling his emotions will be key, as he also flies open when he starts thinking too much.
There are questions regarding his willingness to compete and take the ball no matter the circumstance. He has a very good fastball with good life but has been shelled in close games, losing his confidence and never seeming to recover. He does, however, have good projection if he can overcome the mental side of the game.
A tough cookie behind the dish, Quiles has a good arm and could develop into a solid prospect down the road. He was hurt this season but has a lot of the intangibles you look at in a backstop, including an ability to work with pitchers and call a good game. He needs to add strength and weight to take advantage of the bat.
He played this year at 16 and performed well in the Dominican Summer League before making his way stateside. He has the Padres excited because of his confident approach, even when faced with a slump. He has good plate discipline and pitch recognition at an early age.
He can play multiple positions in the outfield and has always had a good approach at the dish and a pretty swing. Injuries have continually assaulted his progress and health is essential for him to continue reaching his potential. More power is also a necessity.
The shortstop has a solid frame that he should grow into. He has a good feel for hitting and stays square to the ball but needs to add strength to really improve. His defense, thus far, is suspect and needs to be refined. He could be exciting to watch develop.
He is a karate kick away from the big leagues and could be helpful to the team this season. His high leg kick and funky delivery – where he kicks out towards first base – make him hard to pick up, and he is left-handed.
A bulldog that wants the ball, Woodard came in, worked efficiently, located his pitches and worked in tough situations. He throws strikes, has a bit of deception in his delivery, and he is fearless, working inside and out, up and down.
A hamstring injury slowed his first professional season and there are some questions about his mental approach to the game with the feeling he takes things too personal. He has a solid stroke, though, and could become a player if he can stay away from prolonged slumps.

Assailants target Hispanics in Monroe, authorities say
by: Kathryn Burcham Updated:
MONROE, N.C. - Monroe Police are warning residents of a disturbing trend where Hispanic males are being targeted by roving groups of male teenagers.
Police said in the past two weeks they have received more than a half dozen reports of the men being attacked by groups of predominately black teenagers.
"The Hispanic population is being targeted. We just know that they're alone and they make an easy target for this group of young individuals," said city spokesman Pete Hovanec.
In each incident, police said the suspects distract the victims by asking to see their phones and then attack, often sucker-punching them in a style similar to the social media craze the knockout game.
But police said the trend doesn't appear to be the knockout game because the suspects are not posting video of their attacks online.
"It's a dangerous precedent. These individuals might think it's fun and games, but someone could get seriously hurt or killed," Hovanec said.
In the most recent attack, police said three youth approached 14-year-old Ashael Tinoco on Concord Avenue and asked to see his phone.
"I heard them from behind, then one of them punched me in throat," Tinoco told Eyewitness News.
Tinoco was not seriously injured but police are warning residents to be vigilant and increasing patrols in the affected neighborhoods.

text: About the Author • Born in Australia in June 1952. • Became addicted to heroine, and robbed stores with a toy pistol to fund his addiction. ("The gentleman bandit") • Caught in 1978 and sentenced to 19 years imprisonment in a maximum security prison. • Escaped from prison in June 1980, fled to New Zealand. His life on the run eventually led him to Mumbai, India where he spent the next 10 years of his life living with a fake passport. • Caught in Frankfurt in 1990 for smuggling Heroin, and extradited to Australia. Roberts spent the next 6 years in jail where he wrote his first novel, Shantaram. About the book Shantaram is chornologically the second book of a trilogy. According to the author, the defining theme of the century in which he grew up was alienation (from myths such as religious beliefs, the "just war theory", imperialism etc.) The three components of alienation that Roberts chose to focus on: 1. Conflict 2. Exile 3. The search for meaning The plot A first person narrative (chosen specifically in order not to violate the truth law) The plot works in and through a chain of betrayals (emblematic of the exile experience), and the unfolding revelations of motive for those betrayals. The plot also revolves around engagement (which is emblematic of the escape from the exile experience) as a resolution of the conflicts thrown up by the betrayals. Protagonist (Lin) arrives in Bombay -> chooses to stay in the city -> meets Prabhakar -> Goes to Prabhaker's native village Sunder-> christened as "Shantaram" – a man of peace by Prabhaker's mother -> robbed of all possessions on the way back from village -> forced to live in a slum in Bombay because of poverty -> sets up a free health clinic in the slum -> adapts to the community he is living in and even learns Marathi -> falls in love with Karla -> becomes involved with the local mafia -> thrown in Arthur road jail without reason -> tortured -> released due to the influence of the mafia -> goes to Afghanistan to help the Mujahideen -> upon his return, realizes he's become everything he used to loathe -> decides to build an honest life. Shantaram's central theme - Exile The image of the "island" - the saint's tomb on the island shrine at Haji Ali, Leopold's Beer Bar (read how many times the bar is referred to as "an island"), the village huts, the construction towers in the centre of Prabaker's slum, Khaderbhai's house, the Nabila Mosque, Madame Zhou's Palace, Gupta-ji's den, Arthur Road Prison, the Chinese-gothic Mandarin Hotel in Mauritius, the counting room building in the Fort Area, Abdul Ghani's mansion, and many others. The colours of the novel are green and gold. None of the characters – with the exception of Johnny Cigar, who is born to a vanished (exiled) father from somewhere beyond the city – is born in Bombay. All of the characters are exiles, in one way or another. Prabaker is an exile from his village, Karla is an exile from the Unites States of America, Abdel Khader is an exile from Afghanistan, Abdullah is an exile from Iran, Khaled is an exile from Palestine, Didier is an exile from France, the slum dwellers are exiles from many other parts of India, and on it goes. The exiled state of the book's central characters is placed in sharper relief with the description of Prabhaker's native village – where everyone knows precisely where they come from and where they belong. Is Shantaram an autobiography? "With respect, Shantaram is not an autobiography, it's a novel. If the book reads like an autobiography, I take that as a very high compliment, because I structured the created narrative to read like fiction but feel like fact. I wanted the novel to have the page-turning drive of a work of fiction but to be informed by such a powerful stream of real experience that it had the authentic feel of fact." "All of the characters in the novel, Shantaram, are created. None of the characters bears even a remote resemblance to any real person I've ever known." But… •Six months in remote Maharashtrian village, learn to speak Marathi language •Live in Bombay slum, establish and operate free clinic for slum dwellers •Imprisoned in India for 4 months •Recruited by Bombay mafia, training in currency crime, gold smuggling, passports •Gunrunning operation to unit of mujaheddin fighters in Afghanistan •Wounded in action, evacuated to Pakistan, recover and return to Bombay •Appointed controller mafia forgery unit, write short stories, published in popular series •Passport smuggler to Nigeria, Zaire, Iraq, Iran, Mauritius, Sri Lanka •Establish casting agency for foreign extras in Bollywood movies, act in movies Thank you.

This is a collab between myself and Gavinastic. Feel free to rate and comment.
All he could think of were the girls. He imaged them as he lay curled in sleep against the side of an empty trash barrel; girls with bright, billowing blouses, red leather straining over the knocks in their knobby knees. Chicken-legged girls. Girls with yellow hair, yellow dresses, and yellow eyes, like a cat perched on a fence post before a full moon. Girls with pouted lips, stained red from the evening's luster, spewing melodious incantations into the smoky air.
He saw them every hazing moment of his dreams, leaning too far over the sides of bridges as they sipped from glass bottles. He saw them in the shadows of the alley, and on the banks of waterlogged pools. He watched in awe as the spun around him, spreading their legs and their hands and their yellow eyes.
Late at night he sat alone in the corner of a deserted bar, and he watched them laughing and spinning over the rim of his empty glass. It did not matter that they were as intangible to him as the very air he breathed. They would come. Yes, they would come.

New Delhi, July 29: Whistleblower bureaucrat Sanjiv Chaturvedi, who has been selected for the prestigious Ramon Magsaysay award, today expressed disappoinment over functioning of the PMO and said he was able to "survive" only because of an "independent judiciary".
"There should be a zero tolerance against corruption not against honest officers. I am disappointed with the functioning of PMO as I worked with policy of zero tolerance as espoused by the Prime Minister.
I took this message to heart and took considerable personal risks to break corruption in AIIMS," he said. He was reacting to his selection for the Ramon Magsaysay award.
Chaturvedi and founder of NGO Goonj Anshu Gupta are the two Indians selected for the coveted award for this year.
Chaturvedi said he had taken action in a number of cases of alleged corruption involving senior officials and "powerful" people taking inspiration from the Prime Minister's slogans like 'na khaunga, na khane dunga' (neither will I take bribe, nor will I allow anyone to take bribe) but was unsuccessful.
Chaturvedi was removed in August last year from the post of Chief Vigilance Commissioner at AIIMS. He had alleged that he was removed because he had detected irregularities at the institute. Currently he is serving as Deputy Secretary in AIIMS.
"Our late President Abdul Kalam has been a role model for me. His positive attitude and selfless manner in which he served the country will always inspire me. "
He had said that to fight corruption, seminal role has to be played by mother, father and teacher of the children so that right moral values could be inculcated right from the very beginning," said Chaturvedi. PTI

A prisoner in Florida who has spent 28 years on death row has had his murder conviction and death sentence overturned after DNA evidence destroyed the prosecution case used against him almost three decades ago.
Paul Hildwin, 54, will remain on death row as he waits to find out whether the Florida authorities intend to prosecute him for a second time after the state's supreme court vacated his conviction and sentence and ordered a retrial. In a 5-2 ruling, the majority of the court said that "we cannot turn a blind eye to the fact that a significant pillar of the state's case, as presented to the jury, has collapsed."
In 1990, Hildwin came close to losing his life at the hands of Florida after a death warrant was issued and a date set for his execution. But tenacious legal work by the Innocence Project of Florida fended off his death, and painstakingly revealed crucial details pointing to his wrongful conviction.
He was put on death row for the 1985 murder of Vronzettie Cox, 42, who had been raped and whose body was found in the trunk of a car hidden in woods in Hernando County, Florida. Hildwin had accepted a ride from Cox and her boyfriend, William Haverty, and was later found to have forged a check he had stolen from her and to have some of her possessions including a radio and some money in his house.
His defence at the 1986 trial was that he had stolen the items while Cox and Haverty were having a violent argument in the car. But the prosecution told the jury that forensic tests linked Hildwin to semen and saliva found on underpants on the victim's body.
The state said the tests showed that the source of the material had to have been a "nonsecretor" – a man who did not secrete blood into other bodily fluids, which narrowed the field of possible suspects to 11% of white males. Hildwin was a "nonsecretor", the jury was told, while Haverty, who the defence claimed was the true culprit, was a "secretor".
In 2003, the "nonsecretor" argument used as a central tenet of the prosecution case was conclusively undermined after DNA tests of the samples proved that Hildwin could not have been the source. But it still took the Innocence Project a further seven years of legal tussling to force the state of Florida to check the semen and saliva remains against a national crime database.
In 2010, the Florida supreme court ordered the check to be done, and that in turn revealed a positive match from the semen sample to Haverty. Now aged 50, Haverty is currently serving a 20-year sentence for attempted child sexual assault.
Were Hildwin to be exonerated, it would add to Florida's long history of wrongful death sentences. It has exonerated 24 death row prisoners – more than any other state.

Poetry Education or Educating the Poet
Over at the Rumpus, David Biespiel is being inundated. "All of a sudden my inbox is filling up with links from friends to two essays related to poetry that have almost everything and nothing in common at once, and whose implications say a lot about how the art of poetry gets re- or de- artified." And what essays is he talking about, pray tell? Dorothea Lasky's recent essay in the Atlantic (reported on here) and Elizabeth Bishop's not so recent essay (1983) from the New Yorker. Both essays address, in different ways, themes of education and poetry.
Lasky's writing is efficient, heartfelt, and professional. It identifies with a movement in American education dating back to John Dewey that one learns by doing. It praises poetry to the skies, and so I give praise to Lasky for praising poetry in so prominent a venue as The Atlantic.
Bishop's writing is blowsy, sarcastic, precise as thread through a needle, warmly familiar to anyone who knows her poetry, and disarmingly common-esque, like a handsome frock. It identifies with a tradition in American literary experience dating back at least to Walt Whitman that one writes by living, by extracting language from experience and experience into language. Her essay embodies the idea that formalizing experience into a literary entity transforms lived life into a universe of new meaning and into what we call a poem.
Biespiel takes a close look at the essays and thinks about the traditions in American education and poetry each one addresses. Ultimately, he says this, "But, looking at these two pieces side by side, here's what I say:…" We're not going to spoil it for you! Make the jump to find out what side he leans toward.

An Offer of Purpose
The sun's touch warmly coats the ancient fencepost, bare wood and flaking brown paint treated equal. Thick grass gives shelter to the last of the raindrops, and the tangle of barbed wire spreads wide the range of a single spider's web. Halfway up the post, a mark of character bears its place upon the wood in letters of childhood memory. A knife edge had etched the initials with innocent intentions, and now their presence hold the fencepost as a landmark, here in the meadow on the hilltop beneath the naked maple.
Sitting cross-legged, relaxed and alive, I allow my eyes to wander free from my head. They flit through the lofty summer sky, my world being tossed upon a feather as the birds inspire me with their playful grace. The world gives a sigh and the grass rustles with excitement.
But as I breathe deeply, it is as if the air is suddenly poisonous; an anxiety enters as my lungs fill, and I falter as something feels fundamentally wrong. I let the air out without indulging, and I am disturbed from my state enough to tense. The birds: their flight has changed. The air: it is static and feverish. The light: it is betrayed.
I look up to meet the disturbance with intellect rather than with intuition and spirit alone. The chirruping birds are shrill and bemused as they arc through the air. Their flight is peculiar, and my curiosity melds into suspicion as a presence slips around me like a moth eaten blanket. Am I gazing straight into the disturbance without realizing its nature?
And then, like a riddle, the negative space shifts and the answer blinks to life. The disturbance shows not as an addition, but as a subtraction. Something is missing. A volume of air the size of a large boulder sits some meters above my head, and not a single bird will pierce its surface. Their paths divert, their calls cry into the abyss, and their wingtips brush the presence with an upset fervor.
Feeling suddenly naked, I climb to my feet, and with craned neck, I back out from beneath the empty air. Another would not have noticed such a subtlety, but I feel it like an omen. And though I feel a fear clawing at my tranquility, I bring composure to my inner discomfort.
Directly above the fencepost, the void continues to draw in my senses until I fall to my knees. I am seeing what is not there, and not with imagination or in the entrapment of hallucination. Laying eyes upon it is like going blind and yet seeing the blue sky beyond in the same instant. And as this sensation continues to build, I sense a heat upon my skin like from a second sun.
A vibration shivers through the air as the space expands once like the final beat of a monstrous heart, and then it shrinks like a pool of water spiraling down a drain. And yet the drain is in the center of the volume and the pipe in another world.
And from this other world, in the flash of the void's disappearance, a book emerges, sitting in the air of summer like any other clump of mass. And holding true to this appearance, the book then joins the union of gravity, dropping swiftly. It hits the head of the fencepost with a dull thud and lands in the grass, as solid and real as any other collection of atoms in the universe.
But knowing in detail of its abrupt creation, do I regard it as any different? Well first, I reason, I must inspect it.

"The military sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the reports foresee a situation so dire that they recommend curtailing operations, dry-docking ships and mothballing vehicles or aircraft and closing at least four Canadian Forces bases."
Why even bother with even the pretense of an army? Why not borrow some uniforms from the Vatican and kick back and spend the remaining money on importing comedy shows. According to Canadian Law, doesn't the next import comedy show have to be from France?
There are 60,000 people in the Candian Armed Forces and all reserve components, coming from a population of 33 million. Thus 0.188 % of their citizens serve at any time.
There are 280 Million Americans of which 1.4 million are on active duty with another 600,000 in the reserves. Thus 0.714% of US citizens serve at any time.
Can you say Libensraum?


text: German Market: New Jetta In-Depth Share Comments The information below is specific to the German-market Jetta V. While there are some differences between the two market versions, we've decided to feature this press release as there are a number of general similarities. Wolfsburg, 15 August 2005 – The Jetta returns to Europe. Already on the North American market since the start of the year, the more sportier than ever Volkswagen will now complete the saloon range below the new Passat. The notchback model technically based on the globally successful Golf has long since established itself as the most popular car from a European manufacturer in the USA. The new Jetta again shows more of an individual character to distance itself from the Golf. Due to its superior agility and high level of spacious comfort, the 4.55-metre (179.1 inches) long Jetta addresses customers, who appreciate sporty driving properties, a generous amount of space as well as sophisticated design. Particularly in countries like the UK, Turkey or France and Spain, the sporty elegant saloon will be driven more by a younger customer group. MARKET – The new saloon is a global player – delivered to all continents from Mexico A few facts on the success of the Jetta in the USA: Between New York and Los Angeles, the practical saloon has attracted over 2.2 million buyers since its launch in 1980. The Jetta therefore accounts for a volume share of around 40 percent within the brand. No other vehicle from a European carmaker is as popular among US citizens as this Volkswagen. In the old world too, the Jetta can now look back on 26 years of success. Including the Vento (1991 to 1998) and the Bora (1998 to 2005), over 6.6 million models from this series have rolled off the production line. Alongside Germany and the UK, Turkey is, for example, a very strong Jetta market. The Volkswagen has generally recorded successes in the whole European region and the Asian economic zone. Mainly because of the Jetta's domination of the North American market, the new generation will now be built at Volkswagen's Mexican plant in Puebla. Thanks to its high quality standards, Puebla is one of the group's leading production sites. A daily Jetta production of up to 850 is planned in Mexico. The first Jettas from the new generation destined for Europe left Mexico on 19 July. VERSIONS / ENGINES – Three extensive trim lines, seven engines, advanced manual and automatic gearboxes In Europe, Volkswagen will offer the new Jetta in three specially coordinated trim lines — Trendline, Comfortline and Sportline — as well as with four advanced petrol and three turbo diesel engines. The engine outputs range from 75 kW /102 hp (1.6) to 147 kW /200 hp (Jetta 2.0 FSI Turbo). They all fulfil the strict EU4 emissions norm. Except for the 75-kW basic engine, Volkswagen is exclusively using direct injection engines (petrol: FSI / diesel: TDI). The FSI engines available at launch deliver 85 kW / 115 hp (1.6 FSI), 110 kW /150 hp (2.0 FSI) and 147 kW / 200 hp (2.0 FSI with turbo charger). The TDIs available at launch produce 77 kW / 105 hp (1.9 TDI) and 103 kW / 140 hp (2.0 TDI). Six-speed manuals are used as standard with the engines delivering 85 kW and above. Volkswagen offers the highly efficient and sporty double-clutch gearbox (DSG) as an option for the TDI and the 2.0 FSI Turbo (as featured in the Golf GTI) delivering 147 kW. It has six forward gears and shifts extremely fast without interrupting traction. Like the classic Tiptronic, the DSG can also be controlled manually using a plus/minus gate. The six-speed automatic Tiptronic function is also available for the 75-kW and 110-kW petrol engines. DESIGN / DIMENSIONS – Exciting mixture of dynamics and elegance: The new Jetta shows a completely new sophistication The most striking design feature on the new Jetta is the front end with its chrome-framed radiator grille. On the fifth generation of the model, this face supports the claim that this car is significantly more independent, sportier and elegant. The V-shaped radiator grille stylishly indicates the relationship to the new Passat and Golf GTI, which were the first two production models to feature the new "VW Face". As a result, the front section features sharper lines making it more dynamic and also more elegant than before. The rear is also striking: It also follows the style of the current VW design line and features the very fast responding LED lights that are now typical for Volkswagen. At the same time, the side view enhances the athletic appearance of the four-door. The flat rear windscreen and comparatively short boot lid give the silhouette a coupé-like shape. Compared with its predecessor the Bora, the new Jetta has grown in all directions. As a result, there is considerably more space for rear passengers in particular. The body, which is 15 percent more torsionally stiff, has been stretched 17.8 centimetres (7 inches) to 4.55 metres (179.1 inches). The five-seater saloon is 1.46 metres tall (57.5 inches) (+ 1.3 cm) and has gained 4.6 centimetres (1.8 inches) of width (1.78 m). At the same time, the wheelbase is now 2.58 metres (101.6 inches). This means it has grown 6.5 centimetres (2.6 inches). The ample track width at the front and rear noticeably improves the driving dynamics of the new model. SPACE – Impressive amount of space, rear passengers in particular benefit from considerably larger interior dimensions Folding rear seat back and folding front passenger seat backrest The passengers on board the Jetta benefit almost exclusively from the exterior growth: The effective legroom has increased 6.5 centimetres (2.6 inches). At 143.7 centimetres (56.7 inches), the interior width has gained an extra 3.5 centimetres (1.4 inches). Adults can look forward to over 2.4 centimetres more headroom in the rear thanks, among other things, to a slightly lower seat position. Drivers and front passengers have gained four centimetres of interior width. The front seat adjustment range has been increased 2.2 centimetres lengthways so that even real giants will be able to find a relaxing seat position. In total, the new Jetta has an interior length of 1.74 metres (68.5 inches) — 5.4 centimetres (2.13 inches) more than the Bora. COCKPIT – Clear layout of interior emphasises lightness and transparency, self-explanatory controls with complex functions The interior is characterised by a clear, fresh and stylish design. All controls have been designed to be self-explanatory. For example, the instruments: All function levels are clearly separated, all buttons and switches are intuitive. The controls for the air conditioning are located immediately above the centre tunnel, which stretches upwards above the gear lever. Above that is a row of buttons for functions like the heated rear window, recirculation and seat heating. Next up is the radio or radio navigation system with a large central display. Right at the top is the hazard warning lights switch, air vents and another storage compartment (not with Climatronic). Specially designed interior trims give the more exclusive Comfortline ("Aluminium Microtec"; combined with the Pure Beige interior trim: "Microtec Anthracite") and Sportline ("Brushed Aluminium") versions an individual touch. Volkswagen also offers optional walnut inlays for both trim lines, a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel with wooden annulus, leather handbrake lever grip and a wood/leather gear knob as well as high-quality leather interiors. BOOT – The enormous luggage compartment in the new Jetta holds up to 527 litres (18.6 cu. ft.) — you can take full advantage of this volume thanks to a generous payload The new Jetta has endless cargo space with a boot volume of 527 litres (18.6 cu. ft.) – 72 litres (2.5 cu. ft.) more than the previous model. Compared with the Bora, the cargo area length has grown 10.2 centimetres (4 inches) to 1.16 metres (45.7 inches), the widest point has even gained 25 centimetres (9.8 inches) and the maximum boot height has been increased by 3.8 centimetres (1.5 inches). FLEXIBILITY / STORage ConCept – Numerous storage compartments, generously dimensioned through-load facility, up to 602 kilograms payload Storage box system When the rear backrest is folded down, objects up to 1.90 metres (74.8 inches) in length fit inside the Jetta. This means an extra 26 centimetres (9.8 inches). The rear bench backrest itself is asymmetrically split and folding as standard and, thanks to the optimised backrest pivot point, creates a full-length cargo floor. The Jetta Comfortline and Sportline also come with a decent-sized through-load facility as standard. It is large enough, for example, to hold two snowboards and is available as an option for the Jetta Trendline. To increase the maximum cargo length further, a folding front passenger backrest is available for the Jetta Trendline and Jetta Comfortline. Furthermore the Jetta has numerous smaller storage compartments. They include compartments under the front seats, pockets on the back of the front seat backrests and bag hooks in the side panels of the boot. There are also storage compartments on and underneath the instrument panel as well as in the roof console. The centre console has two cup holders and a storage compartment. This can be cooled using the standard air conditioning. The door pockets securely hold 1-litre bottles. Thanks to a maximum payload of up to 602 kilograms (Jetta 1.6), the boot volume can also be used to the full without you worrying about weight. At the same time, the Jetta versions delivering 77 kW or more can tow braked trailers weighing up to 1.7 tonnes (with 8 percent gradient). NETWORKING – Up to 40 diagnosis-compatible control units allow unmatched simple operation Speed-sensitive windscreen wipers The new Jetta has numerous innovative functions that allow a very high level of user friendliness thanks to the intelligent networking. For example, the standard air conditioning automatically switches to recirculation when reverse gear is selected or when you use the washer function to prevent unpleasant odours entering the car. Up to 40 fully diagnosis-compatible control units communicate with each other using the latest CAN BUS technology – there were just 16 in the previous Bora model. This also contributes to safety: The electromechanical power steering even works when the ignition is switched off, until the speed and rpm signal indicates that the car has come to an absolute standstill. DVD NAVIGATION / COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS – High-tech navigation system with dynamic guidance as well as audio systems with high-quality sound There is a wide range of radio CD and radio navigation systems available for the Jetta. The systems range from 40 to 250 Watt output power in hi-fi quality through up to ten specially configured speakers. The audio systems (and the optional car phone) can be controlled via a multi-function steering wheel if desired. The high-end RNS MFD-DVD navigation system has a 6.5-inch multi-function display in the centre console. Thanks to DVD-supported navigation, you no longer have to insert a new country CD when you cross borders within Europe. The actual driving recommendations are given acoustically parallel to the visual guidance in the multi-function display as well as visually in the "Plus" multi-function display. This display is located in the centre of the instrument panel directly in the driver's field of vision. LED TAILLIGHTS – The parking lights, brake lights and turn signals on the new Jetta use high-tech diode technology After making their debut in the Phaeton, the Golf Plus and Passat, LED taillights are now also being used in the new Jetta. The advantage of this innovative technology: The attractive and high-quality-looking "Light Emitting Diodes" are superior to conventional taillights due to their considerably brighter illumination. In addition, they have a faster response time, consume less energy, have a longer lifespan and are not sensitive to bumps. TYRE PRESSURE MONITOR – Tyre pressure under control thanks to sensors, automatic warning when pressure is lost The tyre pressure monitor comes as standard in the Jetta Comfortline. The system constantly measures the tyre pressure at each wheel using special sensors. These values are sent to the so-called convenience control unit via a data telegram. The control unit software evaluates the information. If the tyre pressure differs significantly from the pre-programmed pressure, a warning light will inform the driver about the problem. SIX AIRBAGS – The new Jetta is one of the safest vehicles thanks to its complex restraint concept The Jetta features a particularly effective protection system. All versions of the sporty notchback have six airbags as standard. In addition to the front, side and side head airbags, side airbags for the rear passengers are available as options. The front restraint systems in the Jetta are made up of a driver's airbag with 60 litres of volume as well as a front passenger airbag with a volume of 120 litres. In head-on collisions, the pedals fold forward to prevent accidents to the leg region. The basic model comes with five three-point seat belts, pyrotechnic belt tensioners and belt force limiters. Head restraints that can be set high for all five occupants (i.e. also for the rear centre seat) are, of course, included. Active head restraints (AHR) also protect the driver and front passenger in rear-end collisions. The side airbags — integrated again in the front seat backrests for ideal positioning for the passengers — have been designed precisely for the side structure of the car and provide exemplary protection for thorax, abdomen and pelvis. A new sensor concept allows even faster deployment times in side collisions. The large-sized side curtains prevent unnecessarily high biomechanical loads. They cover the side window area from the A to the C-pillar and reach from the headliner to over the door sill. This allows — depending on the size of the passenger — maximum protection on all outer seats. Also, in accidents, the fact that these airbags cover such a large area prevents the head from swinging out, extremities from being thrown out and objects from penetrating the interior. If necessary, the front passenger airbag can be deactivated, for example, when children travel in reboard seats in the front. Isofix anchors for child seats are provided on the outer rear seats as standard. Volkswagen has also developed a specially designed Isofix child seat. The high-quality and very practical Bobsy G1 Isofix Duo plus is particularly suited to children weighing from nine to eighteen kilograms, i.e. for ages between eight months and four years. Its seat shell can be locked at three different angles. The height of the safety harness is easy to adjust. The dynamic safety chassis for the new Jetta provides a successful synthesis of outstanding sportiness and convincing comfort qualities. A strut front axle, which has been extensively optimised compared with the previous Bora model, along with an all-new multi-link rear axle decisively improve handling, driving comfort and safety. Boarder track widths at the front and rear lower the centre of gravity of the agile notchback. This allows higher cornering speeds and a more precise driving feel. The advanced electromechanical power steering provides assistance related to the speed, stabilises straight running and reduces the average consumption of the new Jetta by up to 0.2 litres. Chassis – Complex multi-link rear axle optimises comfort and agility FRONT AXLE – Greatly optimised strut front axle: Even more agile, precise and comfortable than before The strut front axle with lower wishbone from the Bora has been extensively revised in numerous areas for use in the new Jetta. Greater transverse stiffness at the wheel contact point ensures improved steering precision. The stabiliser bar attachment reduces the body roll. The ride and driving comfort benefits from the optimised angled shock absorbers, the new bearing concept of the lower transverse link and the separate mounting of the spring and damper on the strut tower. MULTI-LINK REAR AXLE – Innovative suspension and ride comfort plus perfect handling properties The truly innovative multi-link rear axle in the new Jetta allows both superior driving comfort and perfect handling properties. Thanks to this axle concept, the longitudinal and transverse dynamics of the new model can be optimised more or less independently of each other. Thanks to their carefully configured bearings, the three transverse links define the wheel variables like the track and camber that allow safe and agile cornering. The trailing link with its large-sized bearings define the longitudinal movement of the wheel. Thanks to a slight toe-in angle, they also help prevent brake dive. In this way, they ensure stable road holding even when you brake in curves. Thanks to its refined kinematics or elasto kinematics, the Jetta's multi-link axle also easily meets the requirements for different loading states. ELECTROMECHANICAL STEERING – Lower consumption and noticeable more driving fun thanks to precise steering feel The extremely harmonious steering properties and the very precise steering feel in the new Jetta are down to the electromechanical power steering (EPS = Electrical Power Steering). It offers numerous advantages for the driving dynamics and also reduces the fuel consumption by up to 0.2 litres per 100 kilometres. Technical background: Unlike conventional hydraulic solutions, the electromechanical system only acts when you turn the steering wheel. While you are driving straight ahead, it does not normally need any power. One exception: If the "intuitive" steering detects that the road is sloping crossways, it will countersteer accordingly. The driver can therefore hold the Jetta on course more or less without any steering force. The immediate response of the steering from the centre position supports a particularly precise steering feel that improves safety and driving fun. The appropriate steering moment is built up for even the smallest steering angles. Thanks to the active return, the steering wheel automatically heads back to the centre position when you exit curves. BRAKES – Shortest braking distances and safe braking even in difficult driving conditions The powerful and solid brakes on the new Jetta form the basis for ideal short braking distances. It is characterised in particular by quick response and low brake pedal forces. Thanks to ABS plus ESP with the integrated brake assist DBA (Dual Brake Assist), it makes an important contribution to increasing active vehicle safety. In all versions of the Jetta, vented disc brakes are used at the front with diameters ranging from 280 millimetres (11 inch) to 312 millimetres (12.3 inch) (2.0 FSI Turbo). Disc brakes with diameters from 260 (10.2 inches) to 288 millimetres (11.3 inches) are used on the rear axle. Compared with the Bora, the latest generation of the electronic stabilisation program (ESP) has a series of new features: ATCM (Adaptive Track Control Model): The car is also constantly monitored when the handling is stable. The advantage of this is that if the car becomes unstable, the system can correct it faster. LDE (Low Dynamic ESP): Intervenes even when there are small deviations during braking even though the car is still travelling stably. FRAD (Full Rear Axle Deceleration): Actively increases the pressure on the rear axle up to ABS intervention if the front wheels are in the ABS range, but the rear wheels are not. Furthermore the new ESP generation includes the following functions: ABS (anti-lock brake system), TCS (traction control system), EBD (electronic brake pressure distribution), EDL (electronic differential lock), ESBS (extended stability brake system), HBA (hydraulic brake assist), EBC (engine braking control), overboost (additional hydraulic boost).

Chinese drink to golfing pioneers
IT seems Chinese historians are working themselves into a lather over the origins of the Royal & Ancient game of golf.
With interest in the sport booming on the mainland, a number of rather droll theories about the game's genesis have emerged.
Several international golf magazines have picked up on a cheeky claim that the Chinese actually invented the game. Although details are hazy, the conjecture is that a sport similar to golf, chui-wan, was played on the mainland as early as 943 AD.
But the more noble-minded golf researchers in China have countered that assertion with a wonderfully romantic, if historically debatable, account of golf's evolution.
In the totally up-front Propaganda Handbook of the Finals of the 41st World Cup of Golf which was distributed at Mission Hills Golf Club, Shenzhen, last month there was a fairytale type 'Introduction to the Sport of Golf'.
It read: 'Golf as a sport originated in Scotland in 15 D.C. (sic) or earlier.
'Scotland is a hilly region with humid climate and much mist or fog, which is good for grass growing and husbandry. Once upon a time there were huge pastures there.
'When shepherds got their cows wandering around, they played a game with wood clubs. They threw stones or rocks into rabbit holes. As the time went on, they changed their clubs and followed a certain set of rules. [As] the winter in Scotland was dreadfully cold, the shepherds had to take a bottle of liquor with them to keep warm.
'They took one mouthful of wine with the cap of the bottle while they hit a ball. It so happened that a bottle of wine was 18 ounces and one cap happened to hold one ounce of wine.
'Thus when they hit 18 balls with their clubs all the liquor in the bottle had gone. This resulted in the rule of 18 holes for the game. This game then was introduced into Britain in 1500 and made the British Royal House very interested, which helped the game develop rapidly until 1600. In playing golf, the players can enjoy fresh air and tranquil wildness so as to keep fit. This attracted many nobles and aristocrats, which gave golf a noble air.
'It is surprising that the word 'golf' is the combination of the initial letters of the four English words - green, oxygen, light and foot.' Golfers like Sam Torrance and Fred Couples were highly amused by this - they could just visualise the shepherds knocking back the whisky while whacking a stone into a rabbit hole.
There are numerous theories about golf's beginnings and the idea of a bored shepherd using an upturned crook to hit a stone is well recorded but the bit about the liquor is a new angle.
Good on the Chinese for de-mystifying golf's origins in one easy lesson.

McDonnell's Budget Cuts Draw Reaction
There are 74 comments on the NBC29 Charlottesville story from Feb 17, 2010, titled McDonnell's Budget Cuts Draw Reaction. In it, NBC29 Charlottesville reports that:Everyone from students to state employees is fired up about Governor McDonnell's proposed budget cuts, cuts that could mean mandatory furloughs and slash financial aid for thousands of people.

Not sure the posters on a local news blog constitute a statistically reliable sample of the community, but I'll humor you. It could be because teachers are in a uniquely well-informed position to speak to the issues involved.
Heck no! As I said before (read the article!), charter schools do a worse job at educating kids - including at-risk students - than public schools. Why on earth should we give money to a bunch of semi-private institutions who have not shown to be any better than what we already have, and who are not bound by many of the safeguards and standards that apply to public schools?
I'll agree with you that educational spending does not result in a one-to-one increase in achievement (it never will, and it is absurd to expect as much). However, public education funds, well-spent, do result in improved outcomes. See:
http://www.ets.org/Media/Research/pdf/PICWMM.... .
So that dog might hunt... if his class-size is small enough.
Tell you what - If the American public schools adopted the approach of most other nations and stopped insisting on an education for EVERY child, I bet our outcomes would look pretty good next to your 99%.
Not sure it's really fair to indict an entire community based on something like tax policy (as if the "educational community's" views on the topic were so monolithically uniform as to even be assessed). If it helps you, I love tax cuts (so do most teachers I know). I just have a different sense than you of when they are appropriate and when they are not.

Half the clowns, graduating from high school, can't read their diploma's. I can't see dumping in anymore money for the teachers union (who are all democrats). I pay property taxes and property taxes (80%), go to education.Some Renters have 5 to 6 kids (all on welfare) and load up the schools with their brood. They pay zip and my taxes are going off the chart.The Problem with socialism is you quickly run out of other peoples money. P.S. If there are any renters out there, who pay taxes for education. Sorry!!

UVA staff are state employees. They have had a hiring freeze in place for quite awhile which means all of the staff are doing more work as people leave for one reason or another. And if memory serves, they have not had a pay raise in 4 years. Meanwhile the faculty are only required to teach one class and some don't teach at all. What's wrong with this picture.
My advice to the guv is to have a study made of state departments by an outside group and start getting rid of agencies that are redundant. Believe me they are there.

Disillusioned, I understand your concern with road safety- perhaps I should have mentioned what i think should happen with these rest stops: privatization. Why not have a company pay to run them? Is this not the Republian/capitalist way? Many fast food chains already rented space in them before, and I a sure they would continue to let truckers rest in the parking lot just like the state does.
I have spent a lot of time driving all over America this past year and a half, and I never get angry if there is not a rest stop- I expect that it just means its time for me to get off the interstate, re-fuel, and get out and stretch my legs. I might even buy something, which BENEFITS whatever place I happen to be, as opposed to costing some taxpayer money if I use a Virginia rest stop.
While I do not miss public rest stops in other states, I DO get upset when there are potholes big enough to eat my car on the road going into Richmond; poor roads cause wear and tear and possble accidents. I also lament inadeqaute public transport for those that need it, and the fact that local schools, libraries and state parks are looking at closure, when rest stops are re-opening. It just does not make sense or cents. One example:
I do not think its possible to put a price tag on the economic impact of schools and libraries, but as far as State Parks, the five facing closure apparently will save us only an estimated "$500,000 a year, but will remove an estimated $5.6 million in economic impact by those visitors." (February 23, 2010 Farmville Herald) At the park nearest my house, 37 people will also lose their jobs- those people will now no longer pay income tax, may end up collecting unemployment an other services and it spirals from there- ditto for teachers, librarians, and other employees performing honest skilled work,as opposed to rest stops staffed by low paid/nonpaid inmates. More rationale needed.

Walking back up the path to the mansion I noted that it had been cleaned of leaves and there was deffinatly a scent of honeysuckle as I walked up. The mansion had been repaired since I had last been here and looking good as new. Hoisting my bag onto my shoulder again I took a deep breath and walked up the path to the front door. Just like the first time I had arrived, as soon as my hand touched the brass door knob the door swung open and I stepped inside. There didn't seem to be anyone in as it was quiet, too quiet.

THE only online bookie that lists SPFL first-scorer prices for every game are McBookie. It's a fantastic service but of course there is a limited card this weekend.
McBookie's Damian Walker gives his first-scorer tips every weekend and challenges punters to pick their own. Last weekend he picked another winner thanks to John Baird of Falkirk at 15-2. He netted a penalty that never was – good old Willie Collum!
Only one person posted a winner and that was hulkie who also chose Baird against Rangers. Email [email protected] with your McBookie username to claim your prize.
Leave your tip as a comment and quote player's club and first-scorer price with McBookie – Scottish games only. Here is Damian with this week's selections.
He says: Another good weekend last Saturday thanks to Baird's opener for Falkirk in their 2-1 win over Rangers. Goodness knows how the Bairns were 11-2 for that game?
"I also tipped Stirling to beat leaders Annan but got the Peterhead result spectacularly wrong and that is where we'll start this festive tipping piece. The Blue Toon are now unbeaten in seven league matches in a run that stretches back to October and includes last weekend's 3-0 win over second-placed Ayr and a 0-0 draw away to runaway leaders Dunfermline.
"Peterhead have scored 15 goals during those seven matches and I thought they should be clear favourites to win at Airdrie this weekend but all the bookies can't seem to split the pair.
"It is also a great time for Peterhead to be visiting the Excelsior Stadium as manager Gary Bollan has just left to go to Forfar and the Diamonds have won just two of their last seven in the league and they were against the same struggling Forfar and bottom-placed Stranraer.
"It usually doesn't pay trying to be too clever finding a Peterhead first scorer as Rory McAllister has scored 21 goals from 24 appearances this season. The striker is without a goal in three games which is longest period without a goal this season. McBookie make him 4-1 to end the drought.
"In the Premiership I am tipping a first scorer from a side that have won just one of their last nine matches – namely Dundee. The Dee haven't actually performed as badly as those stats would suggest as amazingly five of those matches were 1-1 draws.
"Plus they thrashed Hamilton Accies 4-0 last weekend so I think they are overpriced at 11-4 for their visit to Dingwall to face Ross County. The Staggies have lost five of their last seven matches and shouldn't really be a shade of odds on to win this in my opinion.
"Dundee striker Kane Hemmings couldn't be in better form having scored a hat-trick against the Accies last weekend making it nine goals from 19 appearances this season. Hemmings is 6-1 with McBookie to pick up where he left off with the first goal of the game on Boxing Day.
"Stirling Albion's recent wins have boosted my Christmas coffers and for the third week running I'll try to find a first scorer for them. Zero out of two so far.
"Anyway I am absolutely staggered that all the bookies (McBookie included) have Stirling at odds against for their home game with East Fife. Maybe the Christmas parties have taken their toll on the odds compilers so read the next two pars and then ask yourself what price you'd be about Stirling?
"The Binos have now won seven of their last eight matches including last weekend's 1-0 win over leaders Annan. By contrast East Fife have just won one of their last 11 matches and that was a 5-3 win over bottom side East Stirling.
"It is no exaggeration I would rate Stirling 8-13 or 4-7 shots for this game so 23-20 is really a massive price.
"Steven Doris is 4-1 with McBookie to score the first goal so hopefully we get can finally got both the result and a first scorer."
Can you find a winner this weekend?

The actor has a very valid reason behind this decision! Check it out here…
In recent times, there has been talk of some actors not being comfortable making an appearance on Krushna Abhishek's Comedy Nights Bachao (CNB) because of the show's 'roast' format. Most actors prefer to go on The Kapil Sharma Show, which has a milder format. Akshay Kumar recently chose to promote Rustom on TKSS and not CNB.
The root of the problem might stem from an incident on CNB this past May, when Akshay, along with the Housefull 3 cast, made an appearance on the show. The star was reportedly irritated by the racist comments of comedian Siddharth Jadhav, who called Lisa Haydon a 'black African' and said that she resembled a kangaroo (as she hails from Australia). Akshay was upset because Lisa isn't fluent in Hindi and he felt it was in bad taste to make fun of a person who didn't even understand the jokes. He made the point, but later AK's co-star Abhishek Bachchan said that it was all a prank.
However, an insider says Akshay skipping CNB has nothing to do with what happened last time, or the flavour of the show, "While it's true that Akshay is not going on Krushna's show, the reason is something else. CNB is a humour-centric show and Rustom, the film he is promoting, has a very serious subject. He thinks it's the wrong fit for a film like this and promoting it on that show, wont help the film. Rustom is a serious crime-drama and Akshay is very clear how he wants to promote it."
Brushing off speculation of AK being upset with Krushna, the source adds, "He is a friend of Akshay's and they have acted together in a few movies, including Entertainment."
Confirming that the Rustom team will be shooting for TKSS, the source adds, "Yes, the Rustom team will be on The Kapil Sharma Show, but it's not going to be all laughs and gags. The entire episode will have a theme based on the armed forces. Akshay plays Naval Commander Rustom Pavri of the Indian Navy in the movie and TKSS has scripted its format to suit the film."

I own one. I was also drawn in by the size of the 709 for a carry piece. I have not had one issue with the gun. Some friends have had FTF and FTE with my gun at the range which I have investigated and thrashed 1000+ rounds through the Firearm trying to recreate with no issues. The trigger take up is on the long side with moderate stacking but a super short reset. With full bore loads it can be a handful but not uncomfortable to shoot like the PF9 is.
In short I am happy with the gun and have never had an issue.
If I were spending the money over again now I would probably end up with a Ruger LC9 instead.
Hope this helps

Come kick-off this could actually be a meeting of the teams in third and fifth place, though it still has the ring of a heavyweight occasion. Arsène Wenger, his side so refreshingly resurgent this term, must instigate an immediate recovery after last week's mauling at the Etihad Stadium as he seeks a first win over José Mourinho at the 10th attempt. Chelsea, for their part, are labouring for rhythm at present but will draw encouragement from October's Capital One Cup meeting between the teams, when they won convincingly at the Emirates. Psychological damage can be inflicted on Monday night. The contest feels key. Dominic Fifield

Compulsory Purchase
Knight Frank works with land and property owners to secure the best possible results when affected by Compulsory Purchase Orders.
Knight Frank's team has over 100 years' combined experience advising land and property owners who are affected by Compulsory Purchase Orders or are entitled to compensation.
Compulsory purchase and compensation legislation, including Statutory Blight, is notoriously complex. Different rules apply depending on the purchasing authority. While individual discretionary compensation schemes can also apply to specific schemes, professional advice can help to ensure fair compensation. However, this need not be expensive as professional fees are usually indemnified and paid by the purchasing authority.
Who we help
Our clients include all types of property owners who are affected by a Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO), or who need to make a compensation claim. We specialise in farms, estates, rural businesses and high-value historic homes but also advise on residential development and London properties.
Why Knight Frank?
The team has in-depth experience of national infrastructure schemes, including:
We also deal with local schemes across the UK including water and gas pipelines, electrical cables and pylons and road widening projects.
How we can help
Strategic advice
We assess the potential impact of infrastructure schemes and provide advice on what strategic measures, including assessing ownership structures, clients should take.
Compensation scheme claims
We advise which compensation schemes are available at any stage of a scheme and submit applications backed up by comprehensive valuation and supporting evidence.
Compulsory Purchase Order negotiations
We negotiate with the purchasing authority to ensure our clients are fairly compensated for the value of their property and, where relevant, any income foregone and diminution in the value of property not required for the scheme.
Post-scheme advice
Infrastructure projects such as roads can sometimes create opportunities for commercial and residential development. We can advise on how to take advantage of these.
Where required, our in-house mapping team can create bespoke plans and maps to support any compensation claims.

You can't get the best combination of fuel efficiency and engine output without high quality engine components. Located inside the gas tank is your Porsche 968 fuel sending. The fuel sending unit will have an outlet pipe on it to service the demands of the fuel pump, and should there be any excess fuel in the carburetor or accumulator a return pipe will be there to take it back to the tank. All fuel sending units have a float attached to an arm on the unit that goes up and down as the amount of fuel in the tank changes. That articulating arm is connected to a resistor that changes its strength based on the position of the float; modulating the signal that tells your Porsche 968 fuel gauge how much fuel remains in the tank.

The Congress MP has left for Prakasam district from his family estate at Idupulapaya here to resume his yatra, which has invited the ire of the Congress high command.
On his way to Giddaluru in Prakasam, Jagan stopped at Porumamilla to unveil a statue of his later father, YSR.
"You are blessing me like your own brother or son. Can anyone say that our beloved leader Y S Rajasekhara Reddy is no more? He lives in your hearts. He has given me a huge family that comprises all of you. I am thankful to your love and affection," he told his supporters.
Defying the Congress high command, Jagan has already completed his consolation yatra, in West Godavari, Khammam, Srikakulam and East Godavari districts.
Jagan's Odarpu Yatra began in May 2010 to console the family members of those who died following the death of his father.
YS Rajasekhara Reddy died in a chopper crash on Sep 2, 2009 in Nallamalla Hills of Andhra Pradesh.

Chapter Eleven: The Second Queen of Time (1)Mature
Chapter Eleven:
The Second Queen of Time
Moriba seemed to glide toward him—or perhaps she simply altered the space between them, willing it to be narrower—or perhaps, Seymour's mind screamed, this is only a dream! Whatever the case may have been, the fact of the matter was that she was suddenly right in front of him. She smiled, exposing her fangs, and ran her cold, clammy fingers through his hair.
"Yesss," she whispered. "I am Moriba, I am the raven. I am the Lady, the Lady Raven, the Second of the Three Queens of Time. I am the ruler of the Realm of the In-Between, the queen of the Living Death. Some have worshipped me as a goddess, and some still do. Maybe I am a goddess, maybe I'm not. It matters little."
She had drawn even closer while she spoke; by this point, she was practically pressed against him, breathing in his ear. Their cheeks were touching. She still had one hand on his head, but the other had found his lower back and was now creeping downward on a trajectory that made him supremely uncomfortable.
"I'm gay," he blurted out in a desperate attempt to dissuade her.
"I know," she purred, and her hand came to rest on his right hip. "Do you think I care?"
"Probably not," he admitted dispiritedly.
She licked his neck, making him cringe. "Good guess, case closed. Congratulations, detective."
"Right. Will you please get off of me now?"
"One last thing," she whispered, and then she bit him on the side of his neck, in the same place that she had licked him a few seconds before.
It wasn't a deep bite—she didn't sink her fangs into him, just used them to puncture the skin—but it hurt. He gasped in pain and struggled to free himself, but she was securely attached, like an enormous leech, lapping up his blood as it rose to the surface.
When she at last released him, he stumbled backward into the castle wall and leaned against it, panting.
"I always like to take my payments in advance," she explained, and when he glanced up at her, he saw that a thin line of his blood was running from the corner of her mouth. When she smiled, it dripped onto the front of her ragged dress.
"What…what did I just pay for?" Seymour asked, his voice shaky.
"My advice, Seymour. As well as my knowledge. Isn't it knowledge that you seek above all else?"

Tolton Catholic HS to end relationship with clothing company over abortion stance
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Tolton Catholic High School announced Wednesday it is ending it's relationship with the clothing company that provides its school uniforms.
Administrators sent a letter home to parents saying it will no longer use Lands' End as a uniform provider because the company backs an advocate for abortion rights.
In the latest spring catalog, Lands' End endorses Gloria Steinem, who, according to the company, has "made a difference in her own industry and paved the way for others to follow."
Steinem has been an advocate for abortion rights for decades, and the letter said she has "spoken of women's 'need' for abortion, and referred to it as a 'sacrament.'"
Tolton said Lands' End has been a provider of its official uniform since 2011, but cannot continue that relationship in good conscience.
The letter reads, "We believe unequivocally that all life is sacred, from conception until natural death. It would be contrary to our school's very identity to support a company who celebrates the work of someone so opposed to our beliefs."
Lands' End released a statement on Wednesday, "We understand that some of our customers were offended by the inclusion of an interview in a recent catalog with Gloria Steinem on her quest for women's equality. We thought it was a good idea and we heard from our customers that, for different reasons, it wasn't. For that, we sincerely apologize. Our goal was to feature individuals with different interests and backgrounds that have made a difference for our new Legends Series, not to take any political or religious stance."
ABC 17 News contacted the Diocese from Jefferson City for their response to Tolton's decision.
"We are supportive of Fr. Tolton High School's decision to no longer use Lands' End as a uniform supplier," said Sister Julie Brandt, Associate Superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Diocese of Jefferson City. "We will be contacting all of our schools to make them aware of Tolton High School's decision and the facts related to that decision. We aren't aware of how many other diocesan schools use Lands' End as an official supplier, but we want all the schools to be aware of the situation when the local pastors, principals and advisory boards make their decisions on uniform companies," said Sister Julie Brandt, Associate Superintendent of Catholic Schools.
The Diocese of Jefferson City has 37 elementary schools and three high schools in 38 counties of central and northeast Missouri.
Tolton said students may continue to wear any previously purchased Lands' End clothing, but new uniform pieces can be purchased from Snow Creek Apparel, a family owned company in Columbia.

Three Word Ideas
How much can you write with just three words? How far can the story develop?
When writing stories, authors brainstorm a lot and they usually scribble nonsense here and there before they get a sense of what they would like to write. There would always be a group of words that just bunch up together and work so well that they can form a story. Any number of words are okay, but how far can it go? Does the author have enough plot to make a story flow? Does it make sense? Do those bunches of words connect together?
This exercise is used to work on brainstorming techniques. Just think of three words. Why not the first three words that come into your head? Make a short story of it and post it in one of these chapters.
Happy writing!
