EDITORIAL >> Jim Bunning strikes out
Jim Bunning, who pitched superbly for 17 years for the Philadelphia Phillies and Detroit Tigers but was a long-running disaster as a public servant, single-handedly halted unemployment benefits for hundreds of thousands of men and women, stopped payments to doctors for treating Medicare patients, shut down road-building projects, ended COBRA coverage, blocked flood insurance and small business loans and held up distant network television for satellite viewers. Arkansas reaped some of his whirlwind.
Bunning said he was for all those good things, but he wanted to make a point and he didnt care how much suffering it caused.
Authorization for all those programs ran out at midnight Sunday and Bunning has used a rule of senatorial courtesy to prevent the Senate from voting to continue the programs. The quaint rules of the Senate require the unanimous consent of senators to take up emergency measures, which allows someone to put a temporary hold on legislation until he can get up to snuff on it. It is one of those rules that was never intended to allow one or even a few senators to thwart the majoritys will but rather to slow down a stampede. The filibuster rule is another. Now theyre used to prevent the majority party, whichever it happens to be, from doing anything.
Bunning announced last month that he would not let any of the programs continue until the Senate, House of Representatives and the president raised $10 billion to pay for them, either by taxes or slashing other programs. He wouldnt want them to cut defense spending or anything that affected his state.
Bunning has become as unpopular in his own state as he is in Washington with members of his own party, who view him as a buffoon and a handicap. He has been at war with the party and his own Kentucky colleague, the minority leader Mitch McConnell, and he was driven last fall to announce that he would not run again this year. The Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee had recruited people to run against him.
Bunning decided to take a defiant stand on what he thought was the most popular ground in the country: deficit spending. He said the Senate simply had to stop deficit spending and that he would block the most popular programs until the government funded them directly.
He counted on the country and the good people of Kentucky having short memories. The mammoth deficits that he correctly condemned were much of his own making. The country had run four consecutive years of surpluses for the first time in 70 years when in 2001, Bunning began to vote for all the initiatives that ended balanced budgets and created the worst string of deficits in history. He voted to go to war in Iraq and Afghanistan and not to pay for them, preferring instead to finance them by borrowing. He voted for four rounds of tax cuts for the well-to-do and corporations. It took five years for the governments revenues to return to 2000 levels, but meantime, Bunning and his colleagues ramped up spending until the deficit soared past $1 trillion for a single year. He voted in 2003 to vastly expand Medicare but to meet the hundreds of billions in new invoices by just putting it all on the tab. President Bush said it would be all right, so that was good enough for Jim Bunning. Bush had once owned the Texas Rangers, so he had to know what he was doing.
Yes, Bunning bucked his president and the leaders of his party and voted against the bailout of financial institutions in 2008, correctly sensing that most people would be outraged that the government was helping the very people who had brought on the second worst economic crisis in the nations history. But he picked February 2010 to become a deficit hawk.
As we were going to press yesterday evening, Bunning capitulated. His own party in virtually unanimous rebellion Senator Susan Collins of Maine said people in her state were baffled that Congress could permit such foolishness he said he would allow a vote.
President Clinton confided to his historian after leaving office that the old Philly righty was the creepiest person in Congress.
Clinton will get no argument from most Republicans, but heres the thing. In Washington, D. C., for a few weeks, Jim Bunning was running the show.

GAINESVILLE — The longer, less coiffed hair isn't the only thing that's different about Chandler Parsons. In fact, it's the least of the changes that jump out at you when he steps onto the court for the Florida basketball team.
For the past two seasons, Parsons has struggled to cultivate a complete game. When the forward's shots were falling, he struggled on defense. And when he tried to hone his defensive game, his offense fell off.
So this past offseason, Parsons said, he recognized that he hadn't truly bought into the importance of playing all-out defense in games, and he decided that would be one of many areas he'd strive to improve upon.
The result has been a much more aggressive defender and a more complete player.
"My rebounding and defense," Parsons said when asked where he feels most improved. "I feel like I'm a lot more reliable defender and playing a lot better help defense. I think it's probably conditioning. Last year I would kind of settle on some possessions and not go to the offensive glass. And this year, every single time I'm going to the offensive glass, and even if the ball is not bouncing to me on that possession, I have faith that it's going to the next time. So I'll just keep going every time."
A former Jordan All-American and Class 5A all-state player from Casselberry, the 6-foot-9 junior is averaging 10.7 points and is the second-leading rebounder (behind Alex Tyus' 6.9) with 6.4 per game. He has led the Gators in scoring three times.
With the improved play has come a noticeable confidence in Parsons, and nobody is happier than coach Billy Donovan.
"It was one of those things where he probably came in as a freshman disillusioned a little bit in terms of how easy it was going to be or what he could do," Donovan said. "He had a good, solid freshman year, and then I think the expectation part from himself, what he thought he was going to be as a sophomore, was a humbling experience for him.
"The biggest thing with Chandler right now to me is that he's just playing really hard, he's going to the glass, he's doing physical things, he's trying to do things that are really impacting our team," Donovan added. "Maybe as much as anybody I've coached, there's been some really positive growth and development of Chandler over the last two years. I've got a lot of confidence in him. I'm really, really happy for him that he's got a better understanding of what goes into being a successful, good player. He's always been a hard worker, but I don't think he's had a true understanding his first couple of years of what it's all about. I think he's got a much better comprehension of that now."
Parsons was a spark off the bench for the first 16 games but got his first start last week against LSU after senior Dan Werner missed most of the week with the flu. Parsons scored 11 in 27 minutes then started again in Thursday's win over Arkansas (six points but 11 rebounds in 31 minutes). Donovan said he plans to leave Parsons in the starting lineup tonight.
Chandler and the Gators will host South Carolina tonight, less than 48 hours after their win at Arkansas. Donovan made the unusual decision to remain in Fayetteville on Thursday after the game, returning Friday afternoon, to maximize his players' opportunity to rest.
"The only thing I can liken this to is when we were in New Jersey and we played back-to-back games against Michigan and Rutgers," Donovan said. "We've had some games where we've had just a day in-between, but it was two home games. It is what it is, and we've got to do the best job we can at preparing in the short period of time that we have."

The Dell Aero is now on sale in the U.S., but bargain-hunters may want to wait before picking up the smartphone.
Shoppers can buy the Aero now for $299 from Dell.com. But the price drops to $99 if the phone is purchased along with a two-year AT&T service contract. However, the Aero isn't yet on sale from AT&T.
AT&T has not given a timeline for the launch, and will only say that the phone is "coming soon."
Update: Although the Aero is listed at $299 on Dell's website, AT&T spokeswoman Diana Grace says "there is a step where you can activate the phone with a two-year contract and save $200."

Prom and New Opportunities: Setting Ourselves Up To Fail?
My mother is a wonderful, funny woman. She has several interesting stories from her past which she shares with me, including one about prom. For her prom, she decided to go dressed in a long, powder blue dress. Her date somehow managed to catch his matching powder blue jacket in the car door and was a half hour late because his mother attempted to get the tar out by bleaching it, turning the entire side of the jacket white. My mother and her date went to a fancy restaurant and her date began to scream that he was dying due to a small piece of glass in his Boston cream pie. As if the night couldn't get any more exciting, another girl at the prom wore the same dress as my mother but in green and then at her after prom she beat her date at mini-golf so he, being a very sore loser, left her there. I'm praying that I don't have that same amount of excitement, an identical dress as someone else there, or other typical prom "dilemmas." But it is prom season and let's just say I'm a little overwhelmed with all the hype it's given. I want to go, but there is so much pressure to have the perfect dress, hairstyle, make up, shoes, and all that other superficial jazz. It really takes away from what prom actually is: the last true chance for the seniors (and sometimes the juniors) to bond.
At any rate, I went on Elle.com to look for some fashion tips and beauty advice for prom and found an intriguing article called "Female Depression: Why Women Are Unhappier Than They've Been in Years." The main argument of the article is that as the female movement produced new possibilities, it created new ways that women could fail. For instance, because there were so few jobs available for women, there was more competition, and it was easier to fall short. According to the article, since women haven't had the same amount of time to experience similar things men have, we have more potential to be disappointed and ultimately depressed. With this theory in mind, I'm eligible to attend prom, an event that is always built up in movies and life in general, but what if I can't find a dress? What if someone is sporting the same exact hairstyle? With so much pressure and new possibilities, I'm automatically setting myself up for failure.
However, I'm still debating whether or not I agree with this article. Women shouldn't blame new opportunities for their depression, if anything it should be the opposite. Moreover, the female movement occurred a long time ago, and we shouldn't be caught up in the past. And men have just as much difficulty getting jobs.
Being the nerd that I am, I searched through websites for information about depression. One article in particular, "Why Women Are More Susceptible to Depression: An Explanation for Gender Differences" stated that studies show females are more depressed than men, and it's caused not only by external factors and stereotypes, but by biology. Hormones increase one's emotions, and therefore increase one's rate of depression. Women who are experiencing menopause in particular undergo estrogen depletion, which tends to make women feel less womanly, older, and infertile. The article also theorizes that depression is dominant in the X chromosome, and since women have two X chromosomes and men only have one, women are more susceptible to depression. Stereotypes, the same article says, can also lead to these emotions and many women feel the need to live up to conventional roles of perfection no matter what they do. Additionally, the media portrays women as extremely thin with beautiful skin and luscious hair (this is something I've certainly encountered while searching for prom tips), and the article states that consequently women become depressed because they feel they don't fit society's demands and stereotypes. Due to such high physical appearance standards, women suffer from eating disorders, such as anorexia and bulimia, and according to the article, more women are diagnosed with eating disorders than men, and depression disorders are known to appear with other syndromes.
I think that there's some truth in comorbidity and how severely stereotypes affect women, but that shouldn't be a reason why studies show women to be more depressed than men. Men too have social pressures and stereotypes, as well as opportunities to fail. What if at prom they forget the corsage? How will their date react? If movies illustrate prom to be extremely significant for girls, how will they face that pressure to make their date's night perfect?
What are your thoughts on depression and gender? Prom? Better yet, do you have any fun prom stories you'd wish to tell?

Also, women are taught to keep their feelings to themselves, which leads to depression. Women sometimes feel angry about stuff, but they are taught to never express anger towards others. Without any outlet, they direct the anger towards themselves. Self-directed anger=depression.
Men, on the other hand, are encouraged to express anger freely! That's why they end up letting all that negative energy out, preventing them from becoming depressed.

a couple of things from the guys side:
There are actually some unwritten rules that the more sartorial (read as "pretentious") among us (like myself) seek to adhere to.
If wearing bow tie and tails:
ALWAYS tie the tie yourself,or at the very least make sure it was at least tied and not a clip on.
Make sure its white. If you are wearing a tailcoat, white tie, lest one commit a monumental social gaffe. This does not apply if you are wearing a tuxedo, in which case clip ons are acceptable only in the case of NON-windtipped shirts.
And thus we all see why a labelled myself as pretentious.
another thing: if wearing a Kilt then it should be noted that underwear should not be worn. a true Scotsman never wears underwear with his kilt. Unless he finds the wool itchy in which case fair enough.
The rules regarding bow ties cover women as well, the kilt rules do not.
Also: the colouration of the suit is to be taken into account.
if the event is happening under electrical light AND in the nighttime then a suit of "midnight blue" is advised, as this causes a curious optical illusion whereby the suit appears to be "blacker than black", as ACTUAL black actualy appears drab and semi-morbid under such conditions. HOWEVER if the event is taking place under DAYLIGHT then a suit of midnight blue is to be avoided under ALL CIRCUMSTANCES (unless the event is of lesser formality than the traditional ball, or highland ceilidh) , as this shade will simply make you look like a cheap magician.
However, such attention to detail has been lost, except in the occasional cases of victorian fashion enthusiasts, tailors apprentices, of which there are few, steampunks, who will turn up looking amazing, and put you all to shame, and, on occasion, the noirish formations associated with more traditional goths.
Now, as long as the suit is still in one piece and doesnt have a price tag on it, you are fine.
Once again, can i emphasise that any girls thinking of cross dressing had better look better than everyother guy there, or retorts to insults may be hard to come by.
PS: This post was only partially ironic.
typhonatemybaby @ at 1:15 pm, April 26th, 2010
that said, yes, women have a harder time over it than men.
Steph @ at 8:18 pm, April 26th, 2010
Eugh, prom (or grad, as we call it here) dress shopping. SO glad I'm wearing a tux.
Gina @ at 2:55 am, April 27th, 2010
I agree that there are aspects of a woman's biology that leave her more susceptible to depression than a man. However, I disagree with you on the assumption that there is a "depression gene" as you described it. To my knowledge, nothing like that has been revealed in research, at least not to the point where we can go ahead and assume that it is a recessive trait in males. Depression is a multi-factorial condition that does involve hormones and many environmental factors as well. All of these interact with one another in ways that are difficult to track. Molecular biologists have their work cut out for them.
There's my two cents. On a completely different note, you're a pretty good writer for a high schooler. You have a bright future ahead of you.
natalie @ at 3:57 am, April 27th, 2010
Is it me, or does the woman in the blue prom dress look abnormally tall – like her legs are over twice as long as her head and torso. Is she on stilts or is this a photoshop job?
Katherine @ at 10:35 am, April 27th, 2010
Part of me is glad that I never went to prom – I avoided all the bullshit associated with it. It all felt like playing dress-up so that you could parade around in front of people (people I never wanted to be in the same room with anyway)
But, part of me feels like I missed out on a ritual of cultural importance. I don't know what it's like to go dress hunting or get my hair done up or feel like I was parading around in front of people. It almost feels like it's some coming of age ritual, a milestone of womanhood that I skipped.
Lisa @ at 7:39 am, April 28th, 2010
It might be different, because I live in Australia, but I *loved* going to balls during high school; I think I went to seven or eight altogether. I brought one dress in Year 8 (when I was 13) and I wore that dress to every ball I went to. It was not a big deal at all, lots of girls did it. As for choosing hairstyles, I went to the hairdressers and told them to go for it! I never had the same hairstyle twice
I think what I'm trying to say is, balls are what you make them. If you stress about it, it'll be stressful. If you go with good friends and have fun getting ready, you'll probably have fun there as well.
I hope your prom goes well!
Melissa @ at 6:14 pm, May 2nd, 2010
Are you sure that women really suffer from depression more than men do? As in, is this a difference in actual prevalence, or just in the number of cases that actually get diagnosed?
Jack Koopmann @ at 6:05 pm, May 13th, 2010
Seems like tons of xbox enthusiasts here, I am a fan also and enjoy to play video games… my gf says I play too much, but man it's so amusing. I've been playing mw2 and halo for weeks and can't stop! What would you fellow gamers recommend? In any case, looks like a nice website, is this wordpress? I've made a few pages myself and it's not easy. Thanks for taking time to writing this up.
A @ at 11:17 pm, September 18th, 2010
I think that all the opportunities that women have created for themselves that have given more reasons for depression have given an equal amount of moments of joy. For example, a woman might be able to apply for a job at a company that she might not have been able to a few decades ago. If she doesn't get the job, she will be upset, but if she does, she will be elated.
Zey @ at 8:05 pm, February 2nd, 2011
I agree with Lisa.
I had two proms. One was at 16 at our high school graduation and the other was 18 at our college graduation.
Our high school graduation prom (or ball, as we called it) was much flashier. The second prom was at a bar, so it was slightly more casual and miniskirts and all were allowed.
I went to the first one and not the second.
In the first one, I had a night to unleash my feminine side without consequences (a little bit of a social issue, I admit). But it was a moment where I can be someone else for the night and blend in without being judged for trying to get male attention or trying to be a "man-hater". I remember wearing a dress that did touch the floor and I remember choosing between two heels (a huge change from sneakers/trainers): the one that was glittery but uncomfortable or the one that was more "smart" and comfortable. I chose the glittery one. A huge difference to a girl who always wears men's clothing because they are "much more comfortable and I can breathe in them".
But by the time it came to the second prom, I felt like I was starting to put on a bit of a show to others, and I didn't want that.
See, even though I spent weeks hunting for the right dress (which was fun hours, I LOVE looking at fancy clothes for some reason), wore uncomfortable shoes and spent time on other areas of physical perfection, like makeup, I did it all for fun and I did it all for me. I will NEVER wear anything to impress other people. My huge dress covered the heels I wore, but I still wore those shoes but it – for some strange reason – made me feel empowered. The dress itself was a bit long; I must have swept the floors while I walked but I loved the way I looked in it, it gave me confidence. The makeup was great too. My sister did the whole thing, giving me jewellery on the way, and I felt like a work of art. Had my sister not bothered, I wouldn't have either. There was no pressure, no conformity. It was just a night where I could overdress and (as Shania Twain) put it "feel like a woman".
I know, I know: the usual response is for me to "stop dressing like a man start being feminine and we won't need outdated rituals like proms!" This is a very simplistic way of putting things. Some feminists, from my personal life, claim that I'm dressing in an androgynous manner so I can be equal with the men. The truth is I'm dressing in that way because that's my style, because that's who I am, because I feel impressed when I look into the mirror. Generally dressing up in men's shirts and wearing no makeup is my version liberty from societal pressures but that doesn't mean I don't support the occasional red lipstick or the miniskirts. I like 'outdated' rituals like proms because it's like a masquerade party, or even just a normal party; a little bit of difference, anonymity and fun – so long as you don't go overboard. If it bothers you, I really wouldn't suggest you go.
Though I must admit, I am one of the lucky ones. I have heard that other schools force you to bring dates for prom. Now THAT is an issue that I think is worthy of a feministic argument.

Kindergarten to College Teacher Training
Kindergarten to College
Wednesday, January 30, 2013 from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM (PST)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Offered to: All Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd Grade teachers of K2C students. A $90 stipend will be provided to all teachers who complete the full session.
Did you know starting this fall, every kindergarten student entering SFUSD automatically receives a college savings account with an initial $50 deposit from the City and County of San Francisco? This isn't merely a "nice thing to do;" good intentions wouldn't justify a program this ambitious. Rather, Kindergarten to College is a powerful, ongoing investment in a stronger, healthier city. College-educated people are a critical part of a city's success. They're more likely to have jobs, open businesses, and contribute to the tax base. Also, the accounts will serve as a financial education tool throughout each child's school years, helping foster a more money-smart population.
Under the program, every student entering kindergarten in the City's public schools is automatically given a College Savings Account (CSA) containing a $50 deposit from the City and County of San Francisco. Children enrolled in the National Student Lunch Program will receive an additional $50 deposit.
The program offers incentives for children, parents, friends, and extended family to save earlier and to save more. Foundations, community organizations, local businesses and individuals have provided generous additional deposits and matching incentives.
A second benefit of the program is financial education with each student's K2C account serving as a teaching tool. This makes San Francisco the first city in the nation to integrate financial education linked to a real-life account.
A third benefit: banking unbanked families. In lower-income and immigrant communities, too many families live without a relationship with a financial institution. This account automatically makes those families clients of a major bank, making it easier for them to open other accounts as well.

Vatsalya dedicates itself to empower the vulnerable children to become responsible citizens in the mainstream, Shukti Sarma describes
The genesis of The Vatsalya Foundation lay in a field project of students from Nirmala Niketan. They started working with the children living on the streets in the Marine Lines area (Mumbai) in 1982. "At first, they would look at us with suspicion. But when they saw that we meant no harm, the kids warmed up to us. We ate together. We went rag-picking together. And we taught them how to save from their daily earnings. By 1994, we decided to form an organisation which would take up the cause of these children seriously. Thus, Vatsalya was born," recalls Swathi Mukherjee, executive director and trustee of Vatsalya Foundation.
Vatsalya, she claims, is the pioneer in its field. It works with children between six and 18 years of age. It started as an outreach project; the volunteers and founder-members established a rapport with the children and then involved them in several group activities. Today, Vatsalya has numerous community and learning centres (some separately for girls) along the western suburbs of Mumbai. They also have a centre in Asangaon (Maharashtra) for tribal children which is solely managed by the local tribals. Apart from children's shelters, Vatsalya also has group homes where young adults board.
Outreach is still a very important part of the Foundation. But there are many children at Vatsalya's centres who come via reference also. Requests come from families whose wards have come to Mumbai to earn a living and have now become pavement-dwellers. Many of their former residents, who have stayed at their community homes, or have been part of their programmes, also refer children to Vatsalya's shelters.
Viewing itself as a networking centre, where children are given non-formal education and engaged in group activities at the shelters, Vatsalya arranges for their admission in government schools and colleges. It also arranges for their vocational training in streams like gardening, catering, computer and BPO training and beautician courses. "When there are so many institutions in Mumbai which have the facilities for training people, why do we add to the number? Instead, through our network, we help these kids take advantage of the existing facilities,"
Ms Mukherjee says. Vatsalya collaborates with other NGOs who deal with issues like de-addiction, rehabilitation and child labour management, and also help runaways get back to their families.
Many children taken in by Vatsalya have now become volunteers for the organisation. They not only help in handling administrative jobs, but also teach the children. Sanjiv, who came to Vatsalya 12 years ago, is originally from a slum in Vadala (central Mumbai). He will turn 18 next month; he teaches maths at the centre. He is about to start his graduation in commerce. "I also do some data-entry tasks and other jobs. I have an interest in banking and insurance," he says. He knows what it is like adjusting to living in a centre after living on the streets; and can handle his students well. "It is not that we don't have fun. But I know when to act tough too," he laughs.
There are others, who have now established themselves. "One of our former inmates now runs a cargo centre and has set up an NGO to help children going through the same hassles that he endured," Ms Mukherjee says. Apart from their former members and staff, there are many students who work with Vatsalya as part of their projects.
Ms Mukherjee doesn't see the hardships as 'problems'; they are challenges which have to be overcome. "We do not think that there is much awareness about the issue; most people view it as charity which we do not believe in. It is about empowering children and helping them become self-sufficient," she says.
One can contribute by being a part of Vatsalya's awareness drive, or by becoming a volunteer. All donations are exempt under Section 80(G) of Income Tax Act.

The Nifty may see a sideways movement between 5,290 and 5,425
Global events and dismal domestic factory output numbers for December 2011 weighed on the market this week. The international scene was dominated by the impasse in Greece over the agreement with its creditors. Even though the beleaguered nation managed to clinch a deal on reforms and austerity measures, policymakers are concerned about Greece keeping its commitments. However, despite pressures, the market managed to close with a gain of 1%, making it the sixth positive weekly close.
The market closed higher on positive global cues on Monday. However, on Tuesday the market fell on concerns that Greece may be unable to avoid the default as it struggled to reach terms on a new bailout package. The market managed to register gains on Wednesday on hopes that Greece would find a way to end its debt problems. The benchmarks extended their gains on Thursday even as Greece failed to sew a deal to avoid a debt default. Dismal IIP data for December and a weak performance of the global markets saw the market closing lower on Friday.
The Sensex added 144 points to close the week at 17,749 and the Nifty ended 56 points up at 5,382. We may now see the Nifty moving sideways between 5,290 and 5,425.
The BSE Realty index and the BSE Consumer Durables index both closed 6% higher, while the BSE Healthcare index ended 1% lower.
Jindal Steel & Power (up 9%), Bajaj Auto (up 8%), TCS, Wipro and Sterlite Industries (up 5% each) were the top Sensex gainers whereas Bharti Airtel (down 10%), Hindustan Unilever, Mahindra & Mahindra, Sun Pharmaceuticals (down 3% each) and BHEL (down 1%) settled as top losers in the week.
The Nifty toppers were Jindal Steel & Power (up 9%), Cairn India, SAIL, Bajaj Auto (up 8% each) and ACC (up 6%). The main decliners were Bharti Airtel (down 10%), HUL, IDFC, Dr Reddy's Laboratories and M&M (down 3% each).
Industrial production grew just 1.8% in December 2011 compared to 8.1% in the corresponding period last year, due to contraction in mining and capital goods sectors and a lower manufacturing sector growth. The decline in IIP numbers will make a good case for further rate cuts by the RBI, experts opine.
India's exports growth rate recorded a marginal increase of in January with the overseas shipments expanding by 10.1% year-on-year to $25.4 billion despite weak demand in the western markets. Imports grew at a faster rate of 20.3% to $40.1 billion, leaving a trade deficit of $14.7 billion, commerce secretary Rahul Khullar said on Thursday.
According to Mr Khullar, the problems in the US and Europe are clearly weighing down on the country's exports. From a peak of 82% in July 2011, export growth has slipped to 44.25% in August 2011, 36.36% in September 2011 and 10.8% in October last year.
On the international front, after many days of flip-flops, Greek leaders Thursday said they had reached a deal on economic reforms and austerity measures needed to secure a second bailout, however, Eurozone finance ministers demanded more measures and a parliamentary nod before providing the aid.
In the US, the country's trade deficit widened more-than-expected to $48.8 billion in December, rising to the highest level since July 2008. Meanwhile, weekly jobless claims dropped by 15,000 to 358,000, the second-lowest level in nearly four years, according to a government report Thursday.
According to Crisil Research, the 8% rise last month over December was on higher inflows in money market funds and mark-to-market gains in equity funds. Money market funds witnessed inflows of Rs264 billion in January, taking the total assets under this category to Rs1.48 trillion compared with Rs1.21 trillion in December
New Delhi: The Indian mutual fund industry's assets increased to Rs6.59 trillion in January, registering an increase of Rs477 billion on a month-on-month basis, reports PTI.
According to Crisil Research, the 8% rise last month over December was on higher inflows in money market funds and mark-to-market gains in equity funds.
Money market funds witnessed inflows of Rs264 billion in January, taking the total assets under this category to Rs1.48 trillion compared with Rs1.21 trillion in December.
Meanwhile, as a result of the uptick in the equity market, assets under equity funds surged by Rs184 billion or 11% to Rs1.80 trillion.
The equity market represented by the benchmark S&P CNX Nifty rose around 12% in January spurred by positive global and domestic cues, the first monthly gain for the market since October 2011.
Gilt funds recorded highest inflows since September 2010 of over Rs5.21 billion in January, the second consecutive month of inflows.
"Sentiments for gilt funds have risen on views of peaking of interest rates and easing of monetary policy going forward.
This is expected to benefit long-term debt funds including gilt funds," the report said.
Meanwhile, income funds (including ultra short-term debt funds) saw outflows of Rs29 billion in January, the third consecutive month of outflows, primarily because, investors preferred "long-term debt avenues on views of peaking of interest rates in the domestic economy" the report said.
Fixed Maturity Plans (FMPs) continued to garner majority of the new fund offers (NFOs) during the month.
In January, 49 FMPs were launched garnering Rs78.44 billion compared with three other NFOs launched, which in total garnered only Rs6.57 billion.
An analysis of month-on-month mutual fund flows and AUM distribution, shows that Money Market Funds, Gilt Funds and Gold ETF funds were the three categories which witnessed a net inflow of Rs264.29 billion, Rs5.21 billion and Rs0.82 billion respectively.
In January, income funds witnessed a net outflow of Rs29.26 billion, followed by equity funds which saw outflow of Rs3.80 billion and, balanced funds—Rs1.01 billion, Crisil said.

The MMP is vital to the future of HIV care, treatment, prevention and support services
Your participation is essential to the success of this project. Your influence in and knowledge of the community is an asset to the patients for whom you provide care. Together, we can gain a better understanding of the ever-changing nature of HIV infection. Providers and patients can contact their state or local health department for more information on the MMP.
The Medical Monitoring Project
Have you heard about the Medical Monitoring Project (MMP)? It's a survey of the needs and experiences of people living with HIV Disease in the United States. The MMP is supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, the Health Resources and Services Administration and your state or local health department. The MMP will help answer important questions about people living with HIV Disease, such as:
The MMP is unique because the information collected will represent the experiences of people who receive care for HIV Disease. No project has been able to do this before. The Medical Monitoring Project opens the door for the opportunity to provide information that will be useful to community planning groups, Ryan White CARE Act advisory and planning councils, and providers of HIV care. If you participate, your experiences could help guide decisions that may improve the lives and the quality of care for people living with HIV Disease.
Questions & Answers
Initially, your state or local health department will be contacting you to get an estimate of the number of HIV-positive patients to whom you provided care during the project period. These numbers, along with estimates from other facilities across the 26 participating areas, will be used to draw a random sample of all HIV care providers. Providers that are selected through this process will be contacted by the health department and later, patients will be randomly selected from those providers.
Providing this preliminary information to the health department will assist in characterizing the providers in your area. If you are selected, the HIV-positive community and the community of care providers will benefit by your participation. By participating you will be representing providers similar to you who care for HIV-positive patients. If you are not selected, you will be represented by providers like you. Data collected and outcomes determined from MMP will help to demonstrate how care is impacting the health of people with HIV in your community.
If you choose to participate, state and local health department representatives will conduct all data collection activities so as to not disrupt you, your staff, or services to your patients. Security and confidentiality of personal and health care information will be strictly maintained. Names of participating facilities, providers and patients will not be disclosed to the CDC.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 permits health care providers to disclose protected health information to public health authorities for the purposes of preventing or controlling disease, for example, as part of this public health surveillance project. For more information about HMMP and the MMP or other surveillance projects, please contact your state or local health department.
Project Participation
Maximum provider and patient participation will increase the likelihood of obtaining information that is truly representative of patients in care for HIV. The success of MMP depends on the providers and patients selected to participate. Providers and patients not selected to participate in the project, you can still help by encouraging others to participate.

A Mitcham art student who made a stained-glass panel for her A-level coursework has had it placed on display at St Paul's Cathedral.
Sylvia Wydra, 19, who graduated from St Mark's Academy last year, was inspired by Christian symbols and her own religious beliefs to make the panel for one of her final year projects.
Miss Wydra, who is now studying graphic design at Middlesex University, said: "After looking through the sketches my teacher said, why don't we call St Paul's? I wanted to laugh. Why would they want a work of mine? Then they said it looked wonderful and they'd love to have it.
"I still can't believe it because it's not something that happens every day and I would never have thought just calling that they would want the work."
The abstract design with a heart and three crosses was inspired by medieval symbols and the crucifixion of Jesus.
Miss Wydra said: "It's the heart of a mountain. Jesus was crucified on a mountain together with two criminals and you can see three crosses and the heart has a crown of thorns around it."
Entitled "Easter Symbols", the work reflects the theme of love, and in particular the love Christians believe Jesus demonstrated when he died for human salvation.
Sylvia's stained glass, for which she was awarded a distinction grade, now hangs on the wall of the Cathedral's schools and families department classroom.
Janet Marshall, from St Paul's Cathedral, said: "Sylvia wanted the stained glass to be somewhere where others would get to see it, enjoy it and explore its symbolism. It's absolutely fantastic that she thought of us and that it's now hanging in our department where hundreds of young people will be able to see it.
"It will act as an ideal resource for us as we work with many school exploring symbolism in Christian art using our many art works in the Cathedral. It also shows students what can be achieved by learning new skills and applying their talents."

Penn Singles Records |Penn Doubles Records
PHILADELPHIA - Penn's women's tennis team (4-2) takes its annual Spring Break trip to Florida this weekend. The Quakers will play three matches in five days, starting in DeLand, Fla. against James Madison (1-1, 1-1 CAA) on March 3 and Stetson (3-1) on March 4, and then finishing in Fort Myers, Fla. against Florida Gulf Coast (4-2) on March 8.
With just five matches remaining in Penn's non-conference schedule, the Quakers' three-match stay in the Sunshine State will continue their warmup for an extremely competitive Ivy League - Penn will start Ivy play against Princeton in Philadelphia on March 30.
Singles So Far:
Sol Eskenazi (4-1) has spent the majority of her career at Penn playing first singles, and 2012-13 has not been any different. Other than her loss to the reigning America East Player of the Year, Nini Lagvilava of Stony Brook, in two tiebreak sets, the Penn sophomore has rolled through the competition this spring. Eskenazi's highlight win was over Jeltje Loomans of William & Mary, who is one half of the second-ranked doubles team in the nation.
Stephanie Do (4-2) has taken her place at second singles for most of the spring, and has split her four matches there. Additionally, the junior co-captain's lone spring match at first singles was a win over the reigning Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year, Melissa Kandinata of Richmond, in straight sets.
Sonya Latycheva (3-2) has grown into her own at third singles, and is 2-1 in that position. The freshman most recently took down Julianna Pires of Old Dominion in straight sets, and has seen time at second singles as well - Latycheva compiled a 1-1 record at No. 2.
Jaime Yapp-Shing (2-1) had a late start to her spring, but has seen success in her short time playing at fourth singles. Alex Ion (3-3) has played equal time this spring at third, fourth and fifth singles, seeing most of her success at third and fourth. Katherine Jania (4-2) has had success this spring as well, playing mostly at fifth and sixth singles. Emma Whitfield (3-1) has held the sixth spot this spring, with her only loss coming against now-No. 25 William & Mary.
Doubles So Far:
The No. 24-ranked pair of Eskenazi and Latycheva (4-1) has been dominant this spring at first singles, with their lone loss coming against the second-ranked duo in the country, Jeltje Loomans and Maria Belaya of William and Mary. Do and her co-captain Jules Rodin (2-0) have been Penn's most successful second doubles pair this season, with wins over Richmond and Stony Brook. Lastly, third doubles has seen Whitfield and Ion (2-0) have the most success, but Do and Ion (1-0) have teamed in recent weeks as well, winning their most recent match against Old Dominion.
Florida Outlook:
The Series with James Madison:
The Series with Stetson:

Touring is One of the Practices of a Successful Band Posted in Music
Touring is one of the most important practices of a successful band. If you have any aspirations at all of making your band or your craft your career it's important to tour regularly to stay in the public eye and to expand the geographical borders of your audience.
There are few bad reasons to tour. It gives you the opportunity to connect with fans you don't run into every day. It allows you to promote your new album or EP. It gives you the opportunity to test out new material or hone old standards to an audience of people who will give you visual and realistic feedback. It allows you to meet and discuss your music with new people and new bands. It allows you time to digest the material that you're working on and potentially come up with new material. It pulls you out of your comfort zone and forces you to focus on performance rather than just doing covers of your own songs. According to Jim DeRogatis of Sound Opinions, it's one of the easiest ways to find out about new artists.
What can touring do for you in your home environment? When you return from a tour you'll have a new perspective of your performing skills, a better grasp over your old material, ideas for new material, tricks picked up from bands you've met, new contacts that can help you further promote your music, closer bonding with your bandmates, great stories, new ideas for your band, (potential) financial gain from merchandise sales, new fans who will listen to your music, prosthletize, consume, attend your shows.
With all those positives you'd think that every band you know would be mounting tours regularly. This isn't the case and there are several reasons for it. First, it can seem daunting to book and mount a tour. Second, everyone falls back on the economy negatively affecting shows. This is only partly true but it can contribute to an overall perception that touring is more difficult than it should be.
Is touring difficult? It's certainly not as easy as getting booked and selling out a show in your hometown. It doesn't have to be as difficult as the widely held perception though. There are hard and fast rules for how to book a tour, promote a tour, execute a tour and have an impact. Some of them will be discussed at the next Bandcamp (link), some others are mentioned here, here, and here. The question is, where do you want your musical career to go?
In the short term, the easiest way to learn how to book a tour, the responsibilities of a touring artist and improving your merchandise sales on tour, is to attend the next Bandcamp. The next installment of Bandcamp will be held at Caroline Collective on January 4th, 2009. The topic will be Touring and we'll cover the entire process of touring from the booking to the promotion to the execution of the tour and getting home safe and sound. Speakers include Gretchen Schmaltz of Western Civilization, Sara Winter of Warehouse Live and Terry Crane of Commerciant.
*The biggest bonus for members of the Houston music community looking to book a tour is that we're going to help you do it. Bandcamp will be taking proposals from bands for length of tour, location, budget, goal. From the submitted proposals we will be booking a tour for one Houston band.*

I love this story. It gives me chills when you write about how Tom speaks to her in her dreams. You're an amazing writer.

Author's Response: Such a nice review is ALWAYS welcome! Thank you so much for the compliment...
I agree with almost everything you said, but see I have only seen one story with an abused Lily so if you know of others please let me know, otherwise I feel you are bashing on my story.
Author's Response: ...Why would you feel I am bashing on your story, because you have an abused Lily? I've seen so many of those, and it annoys the hell out of me. However, I don't remember exactly where they were. Anywho, if you do have an abused Lily story, then you *should* feel that I am bashing your story, because I *am*. Ciao!
Its wonderful! I love it! I can't even portray the love Ginny has for Harry this well! Keep going!

The title to Wes Anderson's seventh – and no less idiosyncratic – film does not simply refer to the beach camp 12-year-old sweethearts Sam and Suzy set up. It conjures that liminal state as the sun sets on childish innocence and the moon of full-blown adult lunacy rises. Both have been classified as "disturbed children", yet they are perfectly calm when left to themselves. In the world of this film we begin to feel there is no reason why they shouldn't determine their own lives. Benjamin Britten is a leitmotif of the film. He is a composer who is oddly appropriate for a film in which the kids are more mature than the adults.
This is a video game thinly disguised as a movie. Its slowish beginning devolves into a protracted sequence of fights, chases and explosions – tedious in the extreme. Director Len Wiseman has systematically removed all the wit and creativity of the novel and given us a mindless, charmless remake. If one ignores the offensive racialist overtones, what is left is a film that is merely an insult to the IQ. Colin Farrell, who plays Doug Quaid, is a poor substitute for Arnold Schwarzenegger and the role of his "wife", played by the director's real-life wife Kate Beckinsale, has been expanded to mammoth proportions.
Beyond the lashings of action, suspense and skullduggery, this film offers textbook lessons in the repressive power of the state, which will appeal to conspiracy theorists. Like Jason Bourne, new protagonist Aaron Cross is a one-man army; a decent fellow inexplicably caught up in the nasty business of espionage and murder. The sensitivity of these heroes requires a more strenuous suspension of disbelief than the chase sequences.
