It's difficult to imagine a book on constitutional matters being an emotional experience. But that is what Madhav Khosla's The Indian Constitution is. In fact, reading it somehow brought to mind a conversation with an elderly uncle, who once described to me what it was like to be there on the evening of August 15, 1947, when he had tears of joy streaming down his face, as he joined the multitudes of hopeful, newly freed citizens on the streets. In that sense, the book is a small antidote for our cynical and depressing times.
In 1946, Khosla tells us, three hundred people came together from various parts of India, various sections of society and various ideological positions to form the Constituent Assembly and embark on an extraordinary human endeavour: the drafting of a constitution for our new-born nation. As Jawaharlal Nehru, one of the key players, noted at the time, "I tremble a little and feel overwhelmed by this mighty task". And well he might. The assembly was perhaps one of the most diverse bodies of its kind in history until then, and its participants often disagreed vehemently on the very basic principles, yet they worked large-heartedly towards accommodation and consensus. Three years later they delivered one of the world's great political texts: a document both magnificent in its vision and intricate in its detailing, and which seeks to reconcile the conflicting pulls of individual liberty and a strong state. Yet, when Dr Ambedkar presented it, as chairman of the drafting committee, he had the humility to say that the members had merely done the best they could, given their human limitations.
The book is essentially a guided tour of the Constitution for the average informed citizen, explaining its architecture and key themes. This is done over the course of four compact chapters: Separation of Powers, Federalism, Rights and Goals, and Changing the Constitution. Khosla touches thought-provokingly on the key themes, ranging from the doctrine of separation of powers, especially between Parliament and the judiciary, to the asymmetrical nature of the Constitution, urged on by the doctrine of inequality.
It obviously took a masterly grasp of the Constitution to come up with a must-read effort that is not simplistic, nor overly complex.
The book is admirable for two reasons. First, because it is so concise, yet lucid, covering what is probably the world's longest constitution (approximately 400 articles and over a hundred amendments) in just about 175 pages. And second, because it passes the 'Goldilocks Test': it's not so simplistic that it becomes a mere dummies' guide, nor is it so complex that you need to be a lawyer to decode it. It is also admirable for the way it manages to present the Indian Constitution as not merely a cold legal treatise, but a living, breathing human document that defines us as a people and a nation.
It obviously took a masterly grasp of the Constitution on Khosla's part to pull it all off so succinctly. He is a gifted and idealistic PhD scholar of political theory at Harvard, and his book is essential reading for all those who chatter about politics, whether at cocktail parties or on TV channels. But more than that, it should perhaps be compulsory reading for the occupants of a certain circular building on Delhi's Parliament Street, if nothing else, to remind them politely of the towering idealism and vision of their predecessors.
> "....should perhaps be compulsory reading for the occupants of a certain circular building on Delhi's Parliament Street, if nothing else, to remind them politely of the towering idealism and vision of their predecessors."
Perhaps we have a better Constitution than we deserve!
If the Constitution is the upholder of the law, and the Supreme Court the function of the Constitution, then economic activity is what seems to be what gives the law direction. We want to live, without the censure of law, but we respect the law, nonetheless. It's pretty obvious, that economic activity is a situation, where the producer is as important, or otherwise as the shop floor operator, or the owner of the small grocery store. It's not that we want no one to be responsible, but we want to experience freedom in our lives, unfortunately, we are, and we are living already what we want to experience. How the political, will survive, is the question. They have no choice, but to promote this, because it appears, they have to, in the situation.
It is not the constitution itself, but in its implementation ( read - judiciary ) that is at the core of the failure of Indian democracy.
I was a post independence generation and I had the spirit of India as I the author says.But it has been lost among the youth of today who are only interested in welath and in the creation fo wealth.They adore wealthy people.
This change of culture is going to be the end of this great country.In the meanwhile politicians who are nothing but crooks are only enjoying.Constitution cannot be enforced in this kind of atmosphere and it is going to be a very bad and sorrowful end to this great country.

HOME ownership is becoming "unaffordable" for middle-income British families, Business Secretary Vince Cable has warned, amid fears rising prices are stoking a new property market bubble.
In an interview with The Independent, the Liberal Democrat cabinet minister said there were still not enough homes being built to satisfy the demand of people wanting to buy a place of their own.
"The fundamental problem is a chronic imbalance between supply and demand. A recovering mortgage market is just fuelling demand again," he said.
"A family on average income is nowhere near able to afford a house at the average price. Property has become much more unaffordable for people on middle incomes."
His intervention comes after a survey by the Nationwide Building Society found that the "house price gap" between London and the rest of the country was at its widest since records began in the 1970s.
Cable hit back at the Conservative housing minister Kris Hopkins who suggested that rising house prices were a good thing.
"If you are an owner-occupier who has paid off your mortgage, it is an increase in your paper or real wealth," he said.
"But if you are a young family trying to get into the housing market and it is unaffordable, it is an extremely bad thing."

This is a pretentious bit of hipster douchebaggery. Seriously. Idiots who use things (sports fandom) to act like idiots are in everything. If this were aimed at sports fans who attend live games, your idea would have merit... if this kind of crap didn't happen at ANY EVENT where lots of people and lots of alcohol coincide. These same douchebags are at concerts, local and national. They are at carnivals and major festivals. They are at Tea Party rallies and Occupy #Whateverthehell . Painting Ohio State fans in such a broad brush, and then trying to imply that they are somehow WORSE than any other fanbase (Spencer Hall's team, Florida, as recently as 2009, had a fan hit an OSU player over the head and caused head injury/brain swelling, for example.) is intentionally dishonest and just someone being extreme for attention. I am not saying sports fans are this noble group of awesome dudes, I'm not even that intense of a sports fan, nor do I condone what any drunken douchebag does, but at least acknowledge you're writing about all of them and not targeting one team (That happens to be massively popular and will garner attention, MUCH more popular than our local teams), and then half cherry-picking information and half-drudge reporting (Exaggerating/making stuff up, like that the 2 year BOWL ban (NOT competitive ban) had nothing to do with problems with fans, but more about the economics of college football/relationships with boosters and alumni.
Get attention by having talent, not by trying to sling mud and hope some of it sticks. And again, I'm a very casual sports fan. I catch MAYBE 1 game a month, and only if I don't have something better to do. I can't imagine how angry this must make reasonable people who have genuine passion for their team.
And if you have read Spencer's site, you would know that it's mostly satirical and he has written scathing things about pretty much every fanbase everywhere. They make fun of everyone. And /his/ site is insulting /and/ entertaining. This is just insulting.
Either answer would be correct. Both Bertman's and Stadium mustard have and are official mustards for different Cleveland stadiums. Technically speaking, Stadium Mustard came first but Bertman's was sold in Cleveland stadium first, then switched to Stadium Mustard in the Art Modell era... so depending on the context both answers are right. Perhaps you should do some research before you call people idiots for no good reason. This information brought to you by Wikipedia and corroborated by Bertman's and Davis Food co.

Telomeres are specialized structures at the ends of linear chromosomes that protect them from enzymatic attack and preserve chromosome stability. During the growth of human cells the telomeres shorten with every division until they reach a critical length. Such short telomeres become dysfunctional, lose their protective features, and the cells recognize them and respond with permanent arrest or death. Consequently, replication associated telomere-shortening represents a powerful tumor suppressive mechanism, evidenced by the fact that almost all human tumors find a way to maintain their telomeres at a constant length. Tumor cells activate one of two potential pathways to counteract telomere shortening. 90% of cancers up-regulate the telomerase complex, capable of elongating telomeres by reverse transcription. 10% of tumors activate a recombination-based mechanism termed ALT. While fewer tumors initially rely on ALT, it can be considered the dominant mechanism, since ALT can be initiated upon inhibition of telomerase, rendering targeting of telomerase as cancer therapy without effect. While models such as yeast, mice and human cells have emphasized the importance of telomeres for cellular and organismal survival, they have so far failed to provide detailed information about regulation of both, telomerase and ALT. Furthermore, no multicellular system for studying the role of ALT in aging and cancer is available. Here I propose to take advantage of our finding that C. elegans telomeres represent primitive telomeres that rely on and regulate ALT as well as telomerase. I hypothesize that nematode telomeric proteins are regulators of these pathways, and that we can take advantage of them to understand the roles of ALT in organismal survival and tumorigenesis.
AIM 1 is designed to isolate the complexes that regulate telomerase and ALT, to characterize the individual proteins in the complex, and to analyze their telomeric functions in detail.
AIM 2 is designed to investigate the generation and maintenance of telomeric C and G overhangs in nematodes and mammals in detail, based on the hypothesis that C overhangs are defining features of ALT cells.
In AIM 3 we will study how ALT can replace telomerase as telomere maintenance mechanism in a multicellular system. We have generated such an organism;we will characterize it and use it as a screening tool for regulators of the ALT pathway. In summary, this proposal suggests to establish C. elegans as a model system for telomere maintenance in cancer, and to translate between findings in nematodes and cancer cells.
Cancer is an extremely variable disease, and the multiple different tumor types share few common aspects that can be targeted for therapy. Given that all cancers need to find a way to maintain telomere length in order to obtain immortality, telomeres, the natural ends of linear chromosomes, represent one of these universal targets. This proposal consists of three specific aims designed to understand telomere length maintenance mechanisms in the more primitive regulative system of the nematode C elegans, which can be decoded more efficiently, with the final goal of the development of inhibitors of these pathways as cancer therapy tools.

With oil prices falling to a four-year low, the development of two frontier basins in northwest Europe, the Barents Sea and the West of Shetland (WoS), is likely to be postponed and further progress will require cost reductions, according to an analyst with research and consulting firm GlobalData.
Both Chevron and Statoil, operators of the WoS Rosebank and Barents Sea Johan Castberg fields, respectively, are continuing to delay their Final Investment Decisions (FIDs) for the projects, which have 240 and 545 million barrels of oil equivalent of recoverable reserves, respectively.
Matthew Ingham, GlobalData's Upstream Analyst covering Europe, states that the sanction of these projects is crucial to permitting the construction of much-needed infrastructure that will provide an export route for the region's hydrocarbons, of which there are thought to be vast reserves.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I rented property with an individual who ended up being mental unstable and yelled at me in front of my children about something which we had a verbal agreement on (witnessed by at least three individuals), and began to make demands on me regarding how things on the property would be carried out. Our landlord stated that he would let one of us out of the lease and sign a new lease with the remaining person, so I gave my 30 day notice. I paid last months rent upfront, and he is now stating that he is going to keep the prorated amount (last day is Dec 12th) if she is unable to cover the rent or find a new roommate. Legally can he hold my funds (if was well known that we split everything equally) because she is unable to pay rent? What if she can't cover January, does that make me liable?
The landlord can hold any funds that you put down at the start of your lease and use them to cover any money you owe at the end of your lease. This includes amount of the rent for the time you were there. When two or more people sign a lease, unless the lease says otherwise, they are jointly severally liable for the entire amount of the rent, which means that if one person can't pay their share of the rent the LL can go after the other person for the entire amount of the rent. Once your lease has ended though (after the 30 days) you are out of the picture and if your ex-roommate can't cover her rent then the LL can only go after her for it. Hope that's helpful, good luck.Ask a similar question
Thank you Jordon. He extended the offer to allow one of us to leave the lease peacefully, and I took him up on that offer. He accepted my 30 day notice and my last day is December 12th. I paid $800 towards last months rent (shared rent combined is $1600 for the property, 8 acres with a house, a barn and a shop) and $400 towards a cleaning deposit. If at the end of the 31 day time period I do not receive my refunded rent of $490 and whatever portion of the cleaning deposit that he does not use (I always leave my rentals cleaner than when I moved in, this will be no exception), I will be filing in small claims for double the amount as allowed in the Oregon landlord tenant code.

Investigators are trying to find out whether the man who shot dead a policeman in Paris had accomplices as he had shown no previous signs of radicalisation despite a long prison record.
The gunman, identified as Karim Cheurfi, opened fire on a police vehicle parked on the Champs Elysees in Paris late on Thursday, killing one officer and injuring two others before being shot dead.
The attack, which was claimed by the Islamic State terror group (ISIS), overshadowed the last day of campaigning for Sunday's presidential election first round.
Cheurfi, 39, a French national who lived with his mother in the eastern Paris suburb of Chelles, had spent some 14 years in prison from 2001 for crimes including gun attacks on law enforcement officers.
"The investigations will now focus on determining ... the potential help that he may have benefited from," Paris prosecutor Francois Molins told a news conference on Friday.
"He was not on the security watch list and had shown no signs of radicalisation despite his many years in prison."
But Mr Molins confirmed police had found a note with handwritten messages defending ISIS near his body, addresses of police establishments in his car and a Koran.
Police believe he had "opened fire on the officers in the knowledge he would be killed by them", a source close to the investigation said.
As well as the assault rifle used in the attack, a pump action shotgun and knives were in his car, Mr Molins said. Three of his family have been placed in detention, the French interior ministry said.

Cheurfi served 10 years in prison after firing on two plain-clothes officers in 2001 as they tried to apprehend him in a stolen car. While in detention, he shot and wounded a prison officer after seizing his gun.
Released on probation in 2015 from a further two-year jail term imposed for lesser offences, Cheurfi was arrested again in February after threatening to kill police officers - but released for lack of evidence.
A French interior ministry spokesman initially confirmed on Friday that a second man was being sought, based on information from Belgian security services.
"It's too early to say how or whether he was connected to what happened on the Champs Elysees," ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet said. "There are a certain number of leads to check. We are not ruling anything out."
A potential second suspect was identified as Youssouf El Osri in a document seen by Reuters. Belgian security officials had warned French counterparts before the attack that El Osri was a "very dangerous individual en route to France" aboard a high-speed train.
Mr Brandet later said a man with that name had turned himself in at a police station in Antwerp.
ISIS claimed responsibility for the shooting soon afterwards, in a statement identifying the attacker as "Abu Yousif al-Belgiki (the Belgian)".
El Osri's connection with either the downed assailant or the man named by ISIS remained unclear on Friday.
"We don't understand why Islamic State has identified the wrong person," said a police source. "What does seem clear is that Islamic State was planning something."
Observers had long feared an attack ahead of Sunday's election in France, following a string of atrocities by extremists since 2015 that have claimed over 230 lives.
The impact on the outcome of one of the most unpredictable contests in decades is unclear, but far-right leader Marine Le Pen and scandal-hit conservative Francois Fillon immediately cancelled their campaign events on Friday.
The shooting came two days after the arrest of two men in southern Marseille who allegedly possessed weapons and explosives and were suspected of preparing an attack to disrupt the campaign which concludes on Sunday.
French President Francois Hollande, again forced to address the nation after an attack, promised "absolute vigilance, particularly with regard to the electoral process" and paid tribute to the police.
Le Pen earlier welcomed security moving to the heart of the campaign Thursday as she took part in a prime-time interview show alongside 10 other presidential candidates.
"We are suffering the consequences of a laxity that has continued for years," she said shortly before the shooting, promising to take a hard line against extremists and anyone suspected of being an Islamist.
For weeks, centrist former banker Emmanuel Macron and Le Pen have been out in front but opinion polls now show there is a chance that any of four leading candidates could reach the second-round runoff on May 7.
As the first details of the Champs Elysees shooting filtered through, US President Donald Trump sent his condolences and said that "it looks like another terrorist attack. What can you say? It just never ends."
France is in a state of emergency and at its highest possible level of alert since the attacks that began in 2015.
The Charlie Hebdo magazine publisher was hit in January 2015, sites around Paris including the Bataclan concert hall were targeted in November the same year and a truck was deliberately driven through crowds at a fireworks display in Nice in July last year.
In between, there have been a series of smaller attacks, often aimed at security forces.
Thousands of troops and armed police have been deployed to guard tourist hotspots such as the Champs Elysees or other potential targets including government buildings and religious sites.
In February, a man armed with a machete in each hand attacked soldiers on patrol at Paris's Louvre Museum. The attacker, a 29-year-old Egyptian, was seriously injured.
And in March, a 39-year-old man was killed at Paris's Orly airport after attacking a soldier.

ILWIS has been developed by the International Institute for Aerospace Survey and Earth Sciences (ITC), Enschede, The Netherlands. For more than a decade, since 1985, the software has undergone major improvements. The last of which includes the change from DOS to the Windows environment. The release of ILWIS for Windows marks a new era in the development of the software. As a GIS package, ILWIS allows you to input, manage, analyze and present geographical data. From the data you can generate information on the spatial and temporal patterns and processes on the earth surface. The ILWIS media The ILWIS Applications guide is part of the documentation for ILWIS 2.1. The full documentation includes: ILWIS Installation Guide. Instructions for setting up ILWIS and guidelines for setting up hardware, such as digitizers and printers; ILWIS Beginner s Guide. A first look at ILWIS, introducing the basic concepts, some essential ILWIS techniques and the main operations included in ILWIS; ILWIS User s Guide. Training in the skills you need to work with ILWIS. It provides numerous exercises to practice GIS techniques and Image Processing operations; ILWIS Applications Guide. Advanced procedures to work with ILWIS, providing 25 case studies for various research disciplines; ILWIS Reference Guide. Detailed description of the functionality of ILWIS including its window types, the objects, the operations, etc., illustrated with tips and examples. Besides these Guides, extensive on-line and context-sensitive Help is available in the program. The ILWIS Applications Guide: Main objectives The ILWIS Applications Guide contains discipline oriented case studies, and is intended for those who want to know how ILWIS 2.1 can be used for specific problems in various disciplines. The ILWIS Applications Guide is meant for experienced ILWIS 2.1 users. Therefore, the descriptions of the operations to be carried out, are not fully written ILWIS Applications Guide i
8 Preface out in detail. Those persons who want to learn how to work with ILWIS 2.1 are referred to the ILWIS User s Guide. The ILWIS Applications Guide can be used both by persons on an individual basis, as well as in a course environment. Many of the case studies presented in this book are used in courses given at ITC. Structure of the ILWIS Applications Guide The ILWIS Applications Guide consists of 25 case studies, arranged more or less according to the disciplines, reflected by the ITC departmental structure. Applications in Earth Sciences. Chapters 1 to 15 all relate to earth science topics: Applied Geomorphology and Natural hazards. Chapters 1 to 7 deal with problems concerning natural hazard, such as flood hazards, cyclone hazards, volcanic hazards, landslide hazards, and seismic hazards. Engineering Geology. Chapter 8 shows how to create an engineering geological data base for a mountainous area with a scarcity of borehole data. Surface hydrology. Chapters 9 to 12 deal with hydrological problems related to irrigation, determination of peak runoff, and erosion modelling. Hydro-geology. Chapter 13 explains a method for the evaluation of aquifer vulnerability to pollution. Geology. Chapters 14 and 15 deal with the use of satellite images in geological surveys. Applications in Environmental Management. Chapters 16 to 18 relate to multi-disciplinary environmental problems. Neighborhood modelling. Chapter 16 and 17 deal with the use of neighborhood modelling in GIS for specific environmental problems. Data combination. In chapter 18 a number of methods are shown to combine multi-disciplinary data for the selection of a waste disposal site. Applications in Land Resource and Urban Surveys. Chapters 19 to 24 are concerning problems related to land resources analysis and urban studies. Urban Surveys. Chapters 19 to 21 cover the suitability analysis of urban expansion and the monitoring of this expansion. Land use planning. Chapter 22 is concerned with the analysis of fuelwood demand. Soil Surveys. Chapters 23 and 24 are about soil erosion analysis. Cartographic applications. The last chapter (25) shows how ILWIS can be used in the preparation of a layer tinted map. ii ILWIS Applications Guide
9 Preface The data set All data files required for the exercises in the ILWIS Applications guide are included on the CD-ROM, which also contains the software, the data for the Beginner s Guide and the data for the exercises of the User s Guide. The files for the Applications Guide can be found in the directory d:\appguide (where d is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive). For each chapter, there is a separate subdirectory in which the data required for the exercises of that chapter are stored (e.g. d:\appguide\chap01 for chapter 1). During the installation of ILWIS you can install the data files on your hard-disk, normally in the directory c:\ilwis21\data\appguide and the subdirectories for the 25 chapters.! If you did not install the data files during the installation of ILWIS, you should do so, before continuing. See the ILWIS Installation Guide on how to install data files. You can also use the Windows File Manager to copy the data files from the CD-ROM to your hard-disk. The subdirectories of c:\ilwis21\data\appguide will be the working directories for the exercises of each chapter. For example, when you start with the exercises of the first chapter, you should go to the directory c:\ilwis21\data\appguide\chap01. When you have finished the exercises for a certain chapter, and you want to continue with the next one, you should change directory.! When you want to repeat the exercises for a chapter, we recommend that you copy the original data files from the CD-ROM, or use the ILWIS Installation program, so that you always start with the original files, and not with files which may have been altered. Conventions used in the ILWIS Applications Guide This manual is formatted in such a way that the specific actions dealing with the software are separated from the accompanying text. This is an exercise box. You can follow the instructions step by step. Words in Times New Roman 10 Italics are keywords. Formulas that should be entered are shown in Courier New 10. For example: Mapc = Mapa + Mapb ILWIS Applications Guide iii
10 Preface All information that should be supplied by the user is also shown in Courier New 10, as well as all the names of objects (maps, tables, columns, etc.) For example: Geology. The names of, operations, dialog boxes and the options in dialog boxes are shown in Arial 10. For example: Display Options - Raster Map.! This is a tip-box. It is used to give tips. Although we have tried to make the different case studies as uniform in style as possible, you will see that there are some differences between the chapters with respect to the structure of the case study, the detail in which the steps of the analysis are explained, and the amount of theory. Some case studies only contain very basic instructions on how to do an analysis, while others explain the steps in more detail. Request for new case studies It is the intention of the ILWIS team to expand the ILWIS Applications Guide with new case studies in a next release. We are also considering to put a number of case studies on our Web-site (http://www.itc.nl/ilwis). We are interested in the way ILWIS is being used for all kinds of applications. If you have been succesfully applying ILWIS in your own specialization, and you want to share your findings with others, you have the opportunity to contribute with a case study in the next release. If you are interested, please contact: Drs. Jelger Kooistra, ITC, PO Box 6, 7500 AA Enschede, The Netherlands, e- mail: tel.: , fax : , or Dr. C. J. van Westen, ITC, PO Box 6, 7500 AA Enschede, The Netherlands, e- mail: tel: , fax: iv ILWIS Applications Guide

House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings (WA-04) today sent a letter to Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Steven Chu inviting him to testify at a Full Committee hearing on Tuesday, September 11th regarding his Memorandum to the Power Marketing Administrations (PMAs). Secretary Chu was originally invited to testify at a hearing on April 26, 2012, but declined due to foreign travel.
Serious concerns and questions have been raised about Secretary Chu's Memorandum, which mandates new missions for PMAs and could raise energy costs on over 40 million Americans. In June, over 160 House members and Senators sent a bipartisan letter to Secretary Chu expressing concerns with the missions outlined in his Memorandum. The House also passed bipartisan appropriations language prohibiting funding for any new activities in the document.
"I believe your Department's actions to justify and implement the Memorandum are very troubling. At a very fragile economic time, we cannot afford to raise electricity prices. Over 40 million families and small businesses that ultimately receive PMA power could experience rate increases under the unilateral actions outlined in the Memorandum. Those ratepayers and Congress deserve real answers to legitimate questions," wrote Hastings in the letter. "The process your Department has undertaken on behalf of your Memorandum is fundamentally broken and no implementation of new activities in the Memorandum should occur until further congressional oversight and real public input can occur. As the Memorandum states, you have directed this effort and you are responsible for its implementation. Your appearance before the Committee could help resolve valid concerns and answer many serious questions."
On March 16, 2012, Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu sent a Memorandum to Power Marketing Administrations (PMAs) that includes directives that could increase the cost of energy for millions of American families and small businesses. The four Power Marketing Administrations are: Bonneville Power Administration; Western Area Power Administration; Southwestern Power Administration; and Southeastern Power Administration.
Chairman Hastings initially raised concerns that Secretary Chu's Memorandum would raise energy costs on March 16th as well as in a Subcommittee on Water and Power budget oversight hearing on March 20th with the Administrators of all four PMAs in attendance as witnesses.
On April 26, 2012 the House Natural Resources Committee held an oversight hearing on "Increased Electricity Costs for American Families and Small Businesses: The Potential Impacts of the Chu Memorandum". Secretary Chu declined Chairman Hastings invitation to testify. At the hearing, consumer-owned utility representatives testified how the Memo would directly impact millions of Americans who rely on affordable energy from PMAs.
Many groups have come out in opposition to the proposed changes to the PMAs. The American Public Power Association (APPA), a not-for-profit, non partisan organization representing more than 2,000 community owned electric utilities, released comments detailing why they do not support the changes. In the comments, APPA states, "Given the course of the proceedings up until now, we find it hard to believe that DOE is genuinely seeking customer input, or that it does not have a predetermined policy agenda it wishes to pursue, regardless of customer input or the actual facts on the ground."
National Rural Electric Cooperative Association CEO Glenn English also issued a statement in response to Secretary Chu's memorandum, noting, "America's electric cooperatives are concerned about the potential impact on consumers of the proposals listed in Secretary Chu's memo These proposals could have the practical effect of increasing electric bills for millions of co-op members."

Jess is an incredibly giggly person. Mike pretends to be serious and contemplative, but he's just as cheerful. I had a blast running around Dumbarton Oaks with these two on an incredibly pleasant fall afternoon (don't we miss those temperatures now!?) They were up for anything and I'm so so glad they insisted we visit this tree.
I love greenhouses, what can I say? "Oh hey let's play with the watering can." ::dirty jokes ensue:: "Okay, give the can to Jess."
I'll take some more of this light, please.
Look at this woman.
Congratulations, guys! Good luck with all the planning and the being in a foreign country and everything!

The Nintendo Power Glove came out back in 1989 and, although was a cool idea, it was also complete flop. Still, it has not been forgotten even after all these years. In fact, one glove recently got a new life thanks to animator Dillon Markey who uses the glove as a stop-motion animator on projects like Robot Chicken and PES.
He worked with an electrical engineer to modify the device so that it now works with his stop-motion software via Bluetooth. Not only does it let him more easily calibrate where things should be for each shot, but they added gadgets to the glove like tweezers and sensors that emit the perfect (NSFW) phrase if you do a fist bump.

Matt Williams provided a major surprise with the second lineup of his managerial career. Bryce Harper batted seventh for the first four games of his major league career, and he has not batted lower than fifth since. Until tonight, when Williams penciled him into the sixth spot, two places lower than cleanup hitter Adam LaRoche.
Williams reiterated what he said opening day when asked about Harper hitting fifth: "We want to continue to open Bryce's game up," he said. When asked about what that meant, and why Harper needs to hit lower in the lineup in order open up his game, Williams expanded on his reasoning.
"One, I think it takes a little bit of pressure off of Bryce," Williams said. "It allows him to use his legs, and I think that's important, when he wants to use his legs. Now, we look at tonight as an example. [Mets starter Bartolo Colon] is really quick to the plate, so will there be opportunities to do that? You never know. But we want to give him the option to do. He's a five-tool guy so he can beat that other team in many, many ways. We want to give him the opportunity to do that.
"Now, from a managers' perspective you say 'If I hit him second or third in front of Jayson [Werth] and [Ryan Zimmerman], do I really want him trying to steal second when we're one swing away from a two-run homer or a three-run homer?' That's the logic. Most of all, I want him to be free and play and not have those boundaries on him. And I think, for me, over the long run he will drive in big runs for us.
"Tonight's lineup is a little different than opening day, where he hit fifth behind those two guys. But we'll probably see that one a lot, because he's going to have the opportunity to drive in big runs for us. And hopefully we look at the end of the year and he's got a whole bunch of RBI because he's hitting in that spot. Doesn't mean he's going be there every day. What it does mean is that we are allowing him to be free and play and relying on him as a big part of our offense to play and produce for us and drive runs in."
One could counter that Harper would have more opportunity to drives in if he batted higher and, therefore, came to the plate more often. You could also say that since Harper is one of the Nationals' best hitters, batting in front of Werth and Zimmerman would likely provide more chances for them to hit two-run homers than an alternative. And that, come to think of it, more two-run homers is a better outcome than more stolen bases. But anyway, there you have it.

Much on the lines of what was seen in the general interest and other titles space, the business dailies offer a mixed bag of performance with Hindu Business Line (HBL) and Financial Express (FE) holding on to their readership unlike the leader in the segment – The Economic Times (ET) – and other players. In terms of business magazines, from Business Today to Business World – all have recorded a fall in the IRS 2006 R 1.
Looking at the numbers of the business dailies, leader by a very large distance, ET, currently has a readership of 8.68 lakh, which is a 4 per cent drop from its previous 9.06 lakh. The next player in the pink paper space is HBL, which has grown by 3 per cent with a readership of 1.73 lakh. There is good news for the Express Group, too, with FE growing by 7 per cent, offering a readership of 93,000. Business Standard, with a readership of 75,000 has dropped significantly from its readership figure of 1.01 lakh, recorded in the previous round.
As far as business magazines are concerned, Business Today leads with a readership of 7.16 lakh, which is a decline of 5 per cent from its previous 7.54 lakh. Business India currently has a readership of 5.26 lakh, which is an 8 per cent fall from the 5.71 lakh readership it had in the last round. Business World has dropped by almost 10 per cent and is at a readership of 3.35 lakh. Outlook Money has dropped a whopping 32 per cent and is at 1.91 lakh readership at present.
Further niche in the space, Capital Market, has also declined by 4 per cent and is at 1.04 lakh readership.
However, going against all trends, modest player Dalal Street Investment Journal has grown by 8 per cent and is currently at a readership of 82,000, perhaps aided by a buoyant Sensex.

Chantilly, Va.-based Engility, the government services contractor created through a spin-off from L-3 Communications last year, said Monday that it has agreed to buy Dynamics Research Corp. for about $120 million.
The deal hints at coming consolidation within the government services industry, as contractors adapt to shrinking federal spending. DRC itself made a major acquisition in 2011, buying Reston, Va.-based High Performance Technologies.
Engility said Monday it will pay $11.50 per share in cash for all the outstanding shares of DRC common stock. Based on about 10.4 million shares of outstanding stock, the deal is worth about $120 million.
Engility has tried to carve out a new space in the government services industry, focusing on cutting costs to meet government needs. Tony Smeraglinolo, Engility's president and chief executive, said the acquisition would help the company expand and diversify its work.
For example, he said, 75 percent of DRC's revenue comes from customers who do not work with Engility. Although about 75 percent of Engility's revenue comes from Pentagon customers, about half of DRC's revenue is unrelated to Defense Department agencies.
"Engility and DRC are very complementary," he said during a morning call with analysts.
Although DRC is based in Andover, Mass., the company has a significant D.C. area presence, including a large office in Arlington's Clarendon neighborhood, which serves as its local headquarters. Specializing in engineering, IT and technical consulting, DRC has more than 300 active contracts and more than 1,100 employees. The company has estimated revenue in 2013 of about $275 million, according to Engility.
Engility said it expects the deal to close in early 2014.
