Climate Change Topics
For years, Democracy Now! has closely followed the issues of global warming and climate change. We reported live from the three recent U.N. Climate Change Conferences in Doha, Durban, Cancún, and Copenhagen. In addition, we attended the World Peoples' Summit on Climate Change hosted by Bolivia in 2010. We have interviewed many of the world's top scientists, writers, policy makers, activists, indigenous leaders and academics who focus on these issues. We also continue to follow the local and global environmental movements who are organizing to directly confront the root causes of global warming, advocate for climate justice, and to provide sustainable alternatives.
In a rare media appearance at the U.N. climate talks in Doha, U.S. climate negotiator Jonathan Pershing is questioned by Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman about the United States' failure to do more to cut emissions and to save the planet from catastrophic climate change. Meanwhile, U.S. climate envoy Todd Stern has held just one press conference here in Doha. He was scheduled to hold another one today, but if you look at today's conference...Dec 05, 2012 | Story
Most major issues remain unresolved at the U.N. climate summit in Doha as negotiators enter the final stretch of the two-week summit. While the Doha talks involve nations working toward a pact to limit greenhouse gases starting in 2020, many say the world cannot wait that long. The United States has come under intense criticism at the summit from environmentalists and smaller nations who say President Obama has failed to meet his stated commitments...Dec 06, 2012 | Story
Broadcasting from the U.N. climate summit in Doha, we look at how young activists are loudly and unequivocally calling for drastic action to stop climate change. Youth delegates from around the world are urging the United States and other wealthy nations to deeply cut greenhouse gas emissions and compensate poorer nations for loss and damage from weather events caused by climate change. We're joined by three guests: Amanda Nesheiwat, a 23-year-old...Dec 06, 2012 | Story

The 18th U.N. climate-change summit is taking place in the small but immensely wealthy Gulf emirate of Qatar, the largest per capita emitter of greenhouse gases in the world.
Talks at the 18th U.N. Climate Change Conference in Doha are taking place in the shadow of a devastating typhoon that struck the southern Philippines on Tuesday, leaving more than 500 dead, hundreds missing, and at least 250,000 homeless. "We have never had a typhoon like Bopha, which has wreaked havoc in a part of the country that has never seen a storm like this in half a century. And heartbreaking tragedies like this is not unique to the...Dec 07, 2012 | Story
Profiting From Pollution: Top Venezuelan Negotiator on the Economic Motives Behind the Climate Talks
We speak with Claudia Salerno, the top negotiator for Venezuela at the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Doha, who is known for her dramatic action at the conference three years ago in Copenhagen when she bloodied her fist while banging it on the table, demanding to be heard. She says her main concern this year is that new commitments to the Kyoto Protocol, the only legally binding international climate agreement, will be "meaningless."...Dec 07, 2012 | Story -
Speaking on behalf of youth organizations, 19-year-old Munira Sibai criticized the actions of world leaders as she addressed the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Doha, Qatar. "Over the past two weeks, we have seen not only a complete absence of vision, but also an active effort by some to move backwards," Sibai said. "Those who have caused the climate crisis already accepted the responsibility to solve it two decades...Dec 07, 2012 | Story
We speak with two representatives of civil society who have attended the U.N. climate talks for the past decade. "We strongly believe that we need a high level of ambition, we need urgent action, and we need action based on equitable sharing of the atmospheric space," says Sunita Narain, Indian environmentalist and director general of the Centre for Science and Environment. "So we said to the Indian government, we expect the Indian...Dec 07, 2012 | Story
The United Nations climate change summit ended Saturday after negotiators agreed to a weakened deal that will do nothing to halt rising world greenhouse gas emissions. The so-called Doha Climate Gateway extends the Kyoto Protocol for eight more years and paves the way for talks on a new global U.N. pact to enter into force in 2020. Under the deal, the United States made no new pledge to cut its greenhouse gas emissions or to increase its aid to...Dec 10, 2012 | Story

MARQUETTE - The Great Lakes Rodeo got off to a flying start Friday evening, and continues throughout the weekend at the Marquette County Fairgrounds in Sands Township.
The Great Lakes Rodeo is a non-profit organization that started seven years ago and was originally created to help fiance a local recreation center. Today, it serves as a way to raise funds for youth development in the area through grants and scholarships, said Jesie Melchiori, president of organization.
"The youth has to apply for the money, so they have to write up a grant and fill out an application," Melchiori said.

Over the last six years, the organization has given more than $13,000 to youth programs in Marquette, Melchiori said.
Included among recipients have been North Star Academy, The Posse and Evergreen Acres 4-H clubs, Salvation Army Recreational Center and many more.
Not only is the money raised beneficial for youths, but Melchiori said she believes the rodeo events provide a good learning experience for them as well.

"I think it's good for them to see other events out in the community," Melchiori said. "So I think it's good for them to support things like that."
Gates open at 9 a.m. today with the Jackpot Team Penning starting at 11 a.m. The first rodeo performances starts at 6 p.m., followed by a barn dance with Trailer Hitch at 9 p.m.
Events also kick off at 9 a.m. Sunday with the Jackpot Speed events, Cowboy Church at 10 a.m. and the second rodeo performances starting at 2 p.m. Sunday has been designated as "Tough Enough to Wear Pink" day, and everyone is encouraged to wear pink the performance in support of breast cancer awareness.

Crossovers Information |
Anyone who has experience with audio gear will confirm that the crossover is one of the most essential components of a sound system. Engineers havent yet invented a "Perfect Speaker" that can play all frequencies with audiophile clarity and precision, so we use crossovers to split the sound between tweeters, midwoofers and subwoofers. Crossovers divide your music into high, low and midrange frequency ranges, and then directs signals to specific amplifiers or speakers. These crossovers contain low pass filters and high pass filters to isolate the high and low notes.. While many component systems include a passive crossover, those looking for an extra level of control and manipulation will use active, adjustable crossovers to split the sound between multiple drivers, and in some cases, multiple amplifiers. Active or electronic crossovers are a key component when bi-amplifying, or using separate amplifiers for the tweeter and midwoofer. A 2-way crossover will split the sound between two drivers, while a 3-way crossover enables 3 drivers to work in conjunction. One of the most appealing features of an active crossover is the ability to adjust the crossover frequencies, and many models also allow you to adjust the slope as well. Shop our terrific selection of active and electronic crossovers and fine tune your sound! |

Wyścig Pokoju
What's astonishing about bike racing is that you're never going to get even remotely close to the bottom of it.
When Stalin hermetically sealed off half of Europe in 1949, he simply turned the lights out. The Eastern lander of Germany, for decades her most fertile breeding grounds for cyclists, vanished. In Poland cycling had been the most popular of all sports between the wars, her riders huge stars. Now, though, they were lost to us. Cycling was tremendously popular behind the iron curtain, but it existed in a vacuum. A sporting black hole.
The point about the Peace Race, of course, is that it was forged as an instrument of détente. Two of Stalin's surfs, Poland and Czechoslovakia, built it to engender peace as they bickered over what to do with their respective Germanic populations. And it worked.
So too in East Germany, when they had the courage and humility to allow them to compete, in 1952. It was the first sporting event to recognize GDR as a sovereign state, to offer legitimacy to the 19 million people hitherto derided as the pariahs of Europe. The Peace Race delivered not only international sport but – finally – a place to belong. For the sporting public of Eastern Germany nothing mattered more.
Schur and Vesely, Kapitonow and Królak. Then Moravec, Sukhoruchenkov, Szurkowski. For fourty years these, and thousands like them, built the one-eyed legend of the biggest bicycle race on the planet, the biggest free spectacle in all of Europe. When a decent, unassuming Scot named Ian Steel won it in 1952, 250,000 packed into Prague's national stadium to bear witness. He'd won the biggest race in the world, thrilled millions. And yet the British press… and yet nothing.
Ostensibly an amateur event, the Peace Race fired the public imagination like nothing else. In Leipzig, Katowice and Brno, and in the thousands of towns and villages it passed through, the race delivered joy and genuine community. Like so much cold war sport it was shabbily treated, a political football. Impossibly compromised (and on occasion almost unfathomable), it was the ultimate communist paradox.
This was a bike race for anybody, regardless of creed, of athletic prowess, of wealth or political orientation. It crossed the literal and metaphorical borders which the people transfixed by it could never hope to. They were living, millions of them, in a prison, but for two weeks of the year it mattered not. The Peace Race remained something genuine, and genuinely good. Travel amongst them and you'll see that it was nirvana. It made them dream, and it still does. In their hearts and in their minds it's still beautiful. It's the race of peace.

Excellent piece, I'm looking forward to it. And I'll have to go back and re-read not just the article about Ian Steele but the one about the East German rider (shamefully, I can not immeadiately recall his name) who was treated so badly - as so many were - by the Stasi.

It is currently offered in two flavors, Ginger-Orange and Ginger-Mango. Additional tropical flavors will hit the market by late this year.

DOUGLAS -- Douglas Police have released surveillance footage from the Saturday night armed robbery at the Dollar General on Route 441.
The footage shows one of the victims, Shanda Griffin, pull up to pick up her boyfriend who is an employee at the store. The two employees inside leave the store and start to lock up when two masked men come up with guns outside.
One of the men orders Griffin's boyfriend, Brian Rollins, back into the store and demands money while the other stays outside to rob Griffin.
Griffin says she resisted and angered the robber, causing him to shoot her in the back. She was later treated at the local hospital and released.
The video also shows officials dispatched to the scene, but the thieves had already gotten away with an undisclosed amount of money.
Detective Randy Ryles with the Douglas Police Department says they have no solid leads at this point and ask anyone with information to please call them at 912-384-2222.


text: There are many aspects of a shop that make it successful, but there's only one that trumps the rest: performing a service better than the competition. Primer Inc. of Pasadena, Texas, is one of those shops that seems to achieve that number-one trait effortlessly—and with a unique style. Started in 2006 by Pat Kahanek and Jason Barron, "Primer Inc. Customs is dedicated to building unique custom bikes that do not follow any specific trend—we blend vintage looks with modern technology," Jason says. They prove Jason's words with every bike they build—this bike for example; it's their version of a boardtrack racer, but that's not exactly how it started. Like so many radical custom bike builds, Jason and Pat started off building the bike for Pat to ride himself. They started by obtaining a rigid Kraftech frame on eBay. "We got the frame; put it on the bench, and just started cutting off anything not needed to ride it. Less is more to us," Jason says. Subtracting the unnecessary is customizing, but not custom. They really started to get creative with the bike when they incorporated a 1931 Ford I-Beam front axle into the frame's backbone. They continued the styling cues of the backbone into the custom girder front end built 2 inches under stock length. A pair of '70s-inspired 16-inch Invader five-spoke wheels were attached to either end of the chassis with a spool-style hub for the front wheel (meaning there's no provision for any type of rotor or brake drum), and a Flyrite Rocket sprotor attached to the rear. A modern Twin Cam is good-looking and reliable, but it is hardly considered one of the most aesthetically pleasing and isn't known as a "technical" looking engine—Jason and Pat decided that a Shovelhead would better fit in with the bike's general theme. Osborn's Cycles (a local motor builder) built them a stock 1976 74ci beauty, and they slipped it into the modified Kraftech in front of a RevTech five in a four-speed kicker transmission. They installed a velocity stack that barely covers the intake side of an S&S carburetor and added a Morris magneto that provides the spark to ignite the fuel atomized by the carb. With the mantra, "less is more" echoing in the back of their heads, they knew the bike wasn't going to require much in the way of sheetmetal. "I guess the most challenging part was the I-beam backbone. Getting the right angle to give enough room for the tank and still look good was hard. The gas tank was a breeze, though," Jason says. The rear fender looks like it might have been slightly more challenging—it incorporates the oil bag into its leading edge. "Most people look at this bike for a few minutes, squat next to it with a puzzled look on their face, then suddenly a big smile comes over them and you hear them say, 'There's the oil tank,'" Jason says. When looking at OEM bikes throughout the last 100 years, that's not exactly traditional oil-bag placement. I guess the most challenging part was the I-beam backbone. Getting the right angle to give enough room for the tank and still ... The pair didn't stop hand-making parts once the sheetmetal was finished. Every oil line was hand-bent with copper tubing—and there may seem to be an excess of it, but the added loops are very functional. The stacked coils above the remote oil filter act as an oil-cooler, and the loops that seem superfluous when a straight tube looks like it might have worked, exist as a kind of suspension between parts—every 45-degree V-twin rider knows that they vibrate quite a bit—and those loops prevent the lines from breaking or leaking. Tying the lightened look of the bike together (and actually subtracting a significant amount of weight from it) holes were drilled in just about everything and parts were found that already had holes drilled in them. A fancy paintjob would only take away from all the custom work they'd done, so they decided on a scheme that would be less distracting. An understated basecoat was applied to the bike with subtle pinstriping—the only real flair was the variegated gold leaf number 39 on the gas tank and flourish on the rear fender. Complementing the gold touches of the gold leaf, brass fasteners were used wherever possible, further adding to the delicious blend of metal finishes that included polished, cast, machined aluminum, chrome, stainless steel, and copper. Designed to be ridden from the start, the bike continues to see road time to this very day. The inherent low center of gravity created by the smaller wheels and under-stock frontend coupled with the bike's light weight could only make for an exciting ride. Don't be surprised if you see Pat slamming this bike through the gears on the local highways near Pasadena, then lined up at the bike show in the next major rally! 1 | 2 | » | View Full Article By Greg Friend Of Gearhead Inc.

I saw this bad boy at the local toy store, and I immediately knew this was going to be a huge hit this holiday season. Essentially, it's a levitating frisbee with a remote for the fan that resides underneath. The analog fan control allows you to make the disc float in mid-air, or shoot skyward for up to 30 feet. You can also toss it for a mid-air launch. How cool is that? The remote uses a 9-volt battery, although some iterations come with a charging-like docking station. You can find it for about $20.

Man, how cool is this! Yesterday I received a catalogue from the Noble Collection company, which showcased some really beautiful sculptures and replicas for your desk or home. If I had room in my current place, I would totally jump for some Lord of the Rings gear, like the replica shown here. I also liked the Constellation Draco Compass and the Da Vinci Flying Machine. Very classy conversation pieces, indeed. Check out their entire online catalogue, or even better, order a print copy so that you can see them close-up in nice setting. You'll be impressed.

Mojave Aerospace Ventures, the company that funded the SpaceShipOne project, spent over $20 million to get this far. While a $10 million prize does not sound like much of a reward, there are already many companies that are ready to license the technology, one of which is Virgin Atlantic. Virgin plan on investing $25 million into a commercial space flight division called Virgin Galactic which will be based on SpaceShipOne technology.

Baseball robot will eventually sign with Yankees for $18 million per year
More video is rolling in from last week's Robo-One 12 competition, courtesy of Robots Dreams. One of the challenges of the recent bipedal robot competition in Japan was to have a robot play catch.
As this video shows, robot King Kizer took that challenge to another level altogether, also fisting an inside changeup to the opposite field, diving back to first base on a pickoff attempt, and stealing second with no throw. Let's watch.
This isn't the first time we've seen a robot with baseball skills, although King Kizer may have the most well-rounded game. This … Read more

Testimony before the Subcommittee on Investigations and Oversight of the House Committee on Science
June 24, 2008
by Diana Furchtgott-Roth
Mr. Chairman, members of the Committee, I am honored to be invited to testify before your Committee today to speak on the subject of promoting U.S. worker competitiveness in a global economy.
Currently I am a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute. From February 2003 until April 2005, I was chief economist at the U.S. Department of Labor. From 2001 until 2003, I served at the Council of Economic Advisers as chief of staff and special adviser.
The United States has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the industrialized world. In April 2008, the latest month for which comparable data are available, Americans had an unemployment rate of 5.0 percent, while unemployment rates in the Eurozone were 7.1 percent; in France, 8.1 percent; in Germany, 7.6 percent; in Spain, 9.6 percent; and in Canada, 5.3 percent. Only Japan had a lower rate than the United States.
Last month, although the unemployment rate rose to 5.5 percent, unemployment rates among adults 20 and over remained below 5 percent. Unemployment rates for men were 4.9 percent, and for women were 4.8 percent. The jump in the unemployment rate was due to unemployment of teenagers, who have been priced out of the job market by last summer's hike in the minimum wage.
Skilled workers are important for global competitiveness. We live in an open, global economy, and we compete against other countries to offer the best environment for investment and for firm location. We want firms to locate and expand in the United States, creating jobs here rather than going offshore. In order to do that, we need to provide a ready supply of labor and keep the smartest entrepreneurs and workers here. When our workers lose their jobs, we need to help them find new ones as effectively as possible.
Our challenge is to facilitate the movement of workers from some sectors to others. The need for skilled workers makes it all the more imperative that we modernize our workforce training programs and make them as efficient as possible.
Workers already have some protection from job loss. About 97 percent of wage and salary workers have unemployment insurance (UI), a federal-state program funded by employer payments that rise with the number of firm layoffs. The program gives many unemployed workers, who last month numbered 8.5 million, benefits for up to six months. Qualifications and benefit levels are set by individual states.
There are more than a dozen programs organized by the Labor Department to help train unemployed workers. I won't describe all, but let me review just a few. Workers adversely affected by trade have access to Trade Adjustment Assistance, a program that is projected to help 92,000 workers in FY 2008, at a cost of $9,000 per participant. Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) compensates manufacturing workers age 50 and older who lose jobs to imports. If these workers take a job paying less than their previous position, they receive half the difference in wage between their new job, up to a level of $5,000 annually, for 2 years, a concept called "wage insurance."
The Workforce Investment Act program for adults is projected to have 296,000 participants in PY 2008, at an average cost of $2,900 per participant. This has a network of "One-Stop Centers" where unemployed workers can register for benefits, training, and available job openings. A related program, the Workforce Investment Act program for dislocated workers expects to serve 319,000 participants, at an average cost of $3,750 per person. The Wagner Peyser Employment Service is projected to help 14 million participants, at a cost of $54 per person. Other programs, for youths, Native Americans, older Americans, and migrant and seasonal farmworkers, also make important contributions.
Some have proposed expanding TAA to other sectors, such as services, in order to deal with problems of global competition. Last October, the House of Representatives passed the Trade and Globalization Assistance Act of 2007, at a cost of $9 billion over 10 years, and the bill is now awaiting action in the Senate. However, economic circumstances do not warrant such a drastic expansion of the program.
The Trade and Globalization Assistance Act of 2007 would cover more workers with TAA, even those now covered under other programs, and give more benefits — hence the expensive $9 billion price tag. The bill would extend TAA to the service and the government sectors, claiming that these workers suffer from trade. Perhaps true, but services have generated over 90 percent of the 8 million jobs created since the start of the jobs recovery in August 2003, and government has created another 9 percent.
The bill would go further. Whereas workers in particular firms are now certified by the Labor Department as affected by trade and eligible for TAA, the bill would enable entire industries certified as TAA-eligible. If three firms in an industry were certified within six months, all workers in that industry could get benefits, even those at firms not affected by trade. Similarly, if the International Trade Commission certifies that there have been unfair imports of low-cost goods, all workers in the domestic industry would automatically be eligible for TAA.
In addition to expanding numbers of eligible workers, the bill would expand unemployment benefits. Workers in TAA can now receive up to two years of benefits, with an extra six months if they need remedial education. This would be increased to two-and-a-half years of benefits, with three years if remedial education is needed. So workers who can least afford it would be encouraged to stay out of work and lose three years' income.
The Trade and Globalization Assistance Act of 2007 would prevent TAA-eligible workers receiving job advice from anyone other than a state worker. Unemployed workers on TAA walking into a career center would not be allowed to talk to job counselors from the private sector, the county, faith-based organizations, non-profits, or local governments. They would have to wait in line to see state workers.
TAA can be improved with less costly congressional legislation by focusing the program on training and reemployment, rather than on unemployment.
One reason that more people are not participating in the program might be that they are finding jobs on their own in the many growing industries in the United States. Industries such as education and health services and professional and business services have hired many more workers over the past few years.
Another reason could be because of administrative difficulties with applying for benefits. If this is the case, then it would be worthwhile to try to streamline the application process of the current program before expanding it.
Other measures to improve TAA could have some effect in shortening the period of unemployment. Workers affected by trade are all different, and it may be beneficial to have One-Stop staff work with TAA recipients to develop individualized plans to find new jobs and determine under what circumstances training is likely to have a large positive effect.
TAA recipients could be required to register at One-Stop career centers and periodically check computerized job listings for suitable jobs. Then, One-Stop staff could monitor recipients' job search to ensure that they are effectively looking for work.
The One-Stops could provide funds to cover direct training costs and stipends to provide income support, but only in cases where One-Stop staffs certify training is likely to have a high payoff.
In order to further increase incentives to take the best available job, the Labor Department could pay the additional cost of transportation to cover commuting to a job far from home for up to 2 years and paying a portion of relocation expenses. However, relocation payments should be contingent on remaining employed in an area for at least six months.
Before expanding any program, it's necessary to make sure that One-Stops are making the best use of their resources. We should use high-quality measures and standards to hold One-Stops accountable for ensuring funds go to workers assiduously searching for new jobs or obtaining training likely to have a large effect on subsequent earnings.
We also need to redirect the use of training funds to include more community colleges for helping unemployed workers. Community colleges provide some of the best training in the country. They train the majority of nurses and emergency personnel. Forty-five percent of the nation's freshmen are enrolled in community colleges. Studies have shown that when unemployed workers take targeted technical courses at community colleges, their future earnings increase.
For recipients not in training, an ideal performance measure would capture how much quicker recipients return to work than otherwise would be the case. For recipients in training an ideal measure would capture how much higher their earnings are and how much better other aspects of their jobs are than otherwise would be the case. The earnings/job-quality measure also is an appropriate secondary measure for recipients not receiving training.
Americans don't know whether expanding wage insurance, paying unemployed workers part of the difference between the salary of their old job and a lower salary of their new job, will solve problems of economic insecurity from globalization. But it might be worth trying in a few states to see if it works, rather than imposing a federal mandate.
In addition to workforce training, America needs to take a fundamental look at how we educate workers before they join the workforce. We need to lower our high-school dropout rates, if necessary by incorporating vocational training into the last years of high school, and encourage young people to get as much education as possible. This would prepare them for a succession of careers, rather than just one, and enable them to change jobs more easily.
In summary, economic circumstances do not warrant expanding TAA at the present time. A few changes in the administration of the program could make it more efficient without the need for comprehensive expansion. Further, integrating different types of federal training programs and making them more effective would help the unemployed make the best use of these services and obtain a new job more quickly.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to appear before you today. I would be glad to answer any questions.

Some hungry shoppers in Wausau had to wait nearly an hour for their meat Monday morning.
The line was out the door at TownLine Market as people came to buy their turkeys, pork chops and prime ribs.
"We were waiting for about 35 minutes," said Kronenwetter resident Judy Meyer. "We were fortunate enough to get in before the line formed on the outside. But we're excited about Christmas and having our dinner. And the good news is, everything was still in stock!"
Many shoppers came for the Christmas Eve deals. Despite the crowd, Meyer says everyone was enjoying the atmosphere.
"We met a whole new group of neighbors," she said. "Some from Kronenwetter, some from Wausau. But it was really pretty exciting. Everybody's in good spirits and laughing about the fact that they should have come yesterday."

Last week, the U.S. Agency for International Development's (USAID) Mission in Uganda and the USAID Development Credit Authority released a video that will make you rethink development. The video tells the story of a private infrastructure project on a remote island in Uganda, where a USAID co-guarantee spurred private sector investment.
In the 1960s, during USAID's founding decade, official development assistance represented 70 percent of all capital flows to developing countries. Today, foreign aid makes up just 13 percent, having been replaced over time by trade, investment, and other sources of private capital.
This changing landscape means our impact can be even greater. Rather than using our development dollars to substitute for missing private capital, we can use them to attract it. Even better, we can unlock existing local wealth and put it to work for development.
That's what we do at the Development Credit Authority (DCA). Watch the above video to see how effective private sector partnerships can positively impact people's lives, and visit our website to learn more about our work.

Techie was gang-raped on outskirts of Hyderabad
By Express News Service - HYDERABAD
Published: 23rd October 2013 07:40 AM
Last Updated: 23rd October 2013 09:32 AM
What was thought to be an attempted sexual assault on a 22-year-old techie on the city outskirts last Friday has turned out to be a horrific gang-rape.
The incident, which sent shock waves across the city, came to light Tuesday after the Cyberabad police arrested the accused, V Satish (30) and N Venkateswarlu (28), on charges of kidnapping, raping and intimidating the girl. Producing them before the media, Cyberabad Police Commissioner CV Anand gave a chilling account of the sequence of events of the fateful night.
Satish, a car driver from Warangal district, and his associate Venkateswarlu — both work for a certain Manoj Agarwal, manager of the Alexandria Construction Company which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange — set out in a Volvo luxury car belonging to him on Friday night with the intention of raping any girl.
The unsuspecting techie, who came out of a mall, boarded the car around 8.45 p.m. near the Mind Space Junction. She had been waiting for an auto but got into the four-wheeler as it's common in the area to travel in cabs. She was to go to her hostel at Gowlidoddi in Gachibowli. The duo told her they would drop her at the hostel. But, they took the ORR service road to the AP Police Academy and proceeded up to Kolluru exit where they committed the crime.
Although the girl raised an alarm, there was none to help her in the isolated area near the Open Mind Birla School on the Tellapur road. One by one, both forced themselves on the victim.
After the six-hour ordeal, they dropped her near her hostel with a warning to be silent, which was why the girl at first said it was an abduction attempt. "The video footage we had was blurred. We took the help of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to enhance the blurred footage of the CCTV cameras which led to cracking the case," CV Anand said.
Venkateswarlu claimed Satish had forced him to rape the girl and threatened to kill him if he didn't. Venkateswarulu from Nalgonda district is an office boy while Satish is the personal driver of Agarwal. Both have been staying together at Yellammabanda in Kukatpally. Agarwal, who was out of station Friday, is a resident of the Malaysian Township in Kukatpally. He has taken the car on lease from an agency in Jubilee Hills for his use.

More from this section
Punishment for rape is mild and conviction rate is abysmally low in general. Inspite of being a big hub of employment, Hitech city is poorly connected to rest of the city by public transport. RTC buses are few and far between, that too serve places like ECIL, Kukatpally JNTU etc. Employees living in other nearby and far off places do not have convenient transport. Women employees are seen hitching any taxi, auto whatever, they just are in rush to go home and do not have much option to think in terms of security. For example, at 8:45pm, even to wait longer for any other mode of transport is equally risky!! These criminals exploited the taxi look of the vehicle and posed like ordinary taxi drivers. May be this crime is just a carbon copy of the Delhi incident. News agencies must be careful in doling out finer details of news items. Hitech city is pretty stone age vintage when it comes to transport and street lighting.

APSRTC bus service is woefully inadequate in many areas of Hitec city, Gachibowli, Nanakramguda etc. e.g. Buses regularly ply only between Kothi and Wipro Circle, and there are no regular buses at all to Wipro Circle from Secunderabad. Only one bus goes from ECIL to Wipro Circle in morning and one return trip only in evening. RTC should increase the frequency as well as spread in that area. Techies do not mind paying a little more for bus fares but want more services, and RTC should ply buses from there to Hyd. and Secunderabad 24 by 7. - Sekhar

APSRTC buses are less and people agitating for any cause target and destroy Gov buses. They should understand by doing this they are working against their own fellow men.

When public castration becomes the punishment rape; that the day we won't see any more rapes in India.
Posted by M Ragu at 10/24/2013 00:26 Reply to this Report abuse
There is no APSRTC bus route touching Hitec city-Kothaguda X Rd-Gachibowli since very beggining even though a number of people had to commute between these areas for work or stay. Many IT people working in Madhapur are staying in Gachibowli. Occasionally one finds route no 10H/17H bus runs but this is quite unreliable. One is compelled to depend on the mercy of 7 seater operators or vacant cab drivers and these people dictate terms!

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
The pension mess that is unfolding across the nation may eventually bankrupt some of our major cities.
And -- many reasons for this but what stands out for me is the corruption about political class.
Here's my take.
In Chicago former mayor Richard Daley paid into the legislatures pension fund for just one month's.
For that he added 50000 dollars a year to his pension full life.
What he did was not illegal.
But one month pay in with a lifetime payout was a rule created by politicians -- politicians act.
At the expense of tax ideas cities and states are going broke in -- because of the the analogy of politicians.
The money has run out and the shady deals are coming to light.
The most respected Chicago journalists took to the airwaves last night and said metadata -- legacy as -- tainted for have a and so it happens.
So too has the standing of local politicians everywhere -- health and education services are being -- so we can pay the pensions and everywhere reform.
He's opposed and blocked we have yet to hear from that daylight when we do I would want to hear an apology.
And I want the money -- talked and I want to pay phone plan that will put the public sector on the same footing as me.
Because you live on my money and I'm tired of paying.
And that's my take.

Hi ,
Requirement is , want to have purchase order number plant wise. I know that we can have different number ranges for different document types in standard SAP. But how to achieve different number ranges for purchase order plant wise.?
Is there any user exits available for this?
MM06E003 Exit Name
I dont think it is possibe to have diffrent number range for PO plant wise.
As u can have diffrent report to get the PO created for that plant
Why they need purchase order number range plant wise?. If they want define diffrent document types.
Thank you
Sap MM
in standard SAP functionality is the possiblility to have items from several plants in one PO. hence a PO number by plant does not make sense, except you ensure that items of several plants can never be entered to one PO.
Hi Jurgen,
Thanks for your explanation. But client requirement is , want to have separate number range for plant wise in PO. In this case, in PO all the line items will have the same plant not different one. Is there any work around to achieve this?
I think it is not possible to have plant wise number range for PO. If you tell your business requirement we can try to give better solution.
For each plant have different document type and assign diff number range for the doc type.
check for the user exit avalable for the appication EF.
Hi smitha,
You can not have different document types for different plants , it is not plant level.
Any other way is there to achieve ?
it is possible through a BADI to get the separate number ranges for plant wise PR/PO,
but u need to maintain a customised table with number ranges and plants,
whenever the user try to save a PO/PR the syatem will pick the number range from the customised table,
that BADI is ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST,
it is very useful if any client has number of plants like 30 or 40 plants,
and it is easy track the PO from where it has raised.
you forgot to say that you have to prevent having items for more of one plant in a PO then.
By the way I have more than 500 plants in the system and do not need to use extra number ranges to know from which plant the PO was raised. A very few people will be able to know 500 different number ranges to immediatly this Po was raised from plant xxxx.
set PO number range to external in config.
Use either the exit or the BADI previously mentioned.
1. On call PO create, stick any old number in initially (you don't know the Plant yet)
2. On Save or Check, check only one Plant for all items on PO, error message if not.
3. On exit, if PO not saved, you haven't referenced the 'real' PO numbers so just allow exit
4. On exit, if PO saved, call bespoke number range tables (take next number for given Plant, update last PO number).
It would be worth checking the confirmation of PO create includes the 'real' PO number too.
I think you wants a identification of PO with plant wise. So just you need to a small customization in PO format for PO Number Block to you ABAP people.
For Example : Your plant is : 1000 and PO number 5000000456, So its should be display as 1000-5000000456.
Ramesh Kumar
Hi Ramesh,
Going by your logic. What will happen if Items from multiple plants are included in a PO?
Thank you,
The number will be picked either from the first or from the last plant, making your logic even more nonsense.
it was already said that you have to take care yourself that nobody can enter items of different plants in one PO if you want this logic.

Suppliers Working Toward Sustainable DRC Mining |
As manufacturers take care to wash traces of so-called Conflict Minerals out of their supply chains, many citizens of the Democratic Republic of Congo have been deprived the opportunity to live a better life by mining the precious ores beneath their feet. A small but growing group of major electronics OEMs and suppliers, together with the Dutch government, are working on a plan to ensure certain mines under the protection of the national army are certifiably "conflict-free." One of those suppliers is Alpha Metals. CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY editor in chief Mike Buetow spoke by phone with Alpha vice president of global marketing & corporate development Bruce Moloznik about the new initiative.

What is the most important information I should know about pioglitazone?
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to pioglitazone, if you have severe heart failure, if you have active bladder cancer, or if you are in a state of diabetic ketoacidosis (call your doctor for treatment with insulin). |
Do not take pioglitazone for longer than recommended. Taking this medication for longer than 1 year (12 months) may increase your risk of developing bladder cancer. Talk with your doctor about your specific risk. |
Before taking pioglitazone, tell your doctor if you have congestive heart failure or heart disease, fluid retention, a history of bladder cancer, a history of heart attack or stroke, or liver disease.
Take care not to let your blood sugar get too low. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can occur if you skip a meal, exercise too long, drink alcohol, or are under stress. Symptoms include headache, hunger, weakness, sweating, tremors, irritability, or trouble concentrating. Carry hard candy or glucose tablets with you in case you have low blood sugar. Other sugar sources include orange juice and milk. Be sure your family and close friends know how to help you in an emergency.
Some women using pioglitazone have started having menstrual periods, even after not having a period for a long time due to a medical condition. You may be able to get pregnant if your periods restart. Talk with your doctor about the need for birth control.
Women may also be more likely than men to have bone fractures in the upper arm, hand, or foot while taking pioglitazone. Talk with your doctor if you are concerned about this possibility.
Certain oral diabetes medications may increase your risk of serious heart problems. However, not treating your diabetes can damage your heart and other organs. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of treating your diabetes with pioglitazone. |
What is pioglitazone?
Pioglitazone is an oral diabetes medicine that helps control blood sugar levels.
Pioglitazone is for people with type 2 diabetes. Pioglitazone is sometimes used in combination with insulin or other medications, but it is not for treating type 1 diabetes.
Pioglitazone may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking pioglitazone?
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to pioglitazone, if you have severe heart failure, if you have active bladder cancer, or if you are in a state of diabetic ketoacidosis (call your doctor for treatment with insulin). |

How should I take pioglitazone?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results.
Pioglitazone is usually taken once daily. You may take the medicine with or without food.
Your blood sugar will need to be checked often, and you may need other blood tests at your doctor's office. Visit your doctor regularly.
Know the signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and how to recognize them: headache, hunger, weakness, sweating, tremors, irritability, or trouble concentrating. |
Always keep a source of sugar available in case you have symptoms of low blood sugar. Sugar sources include orange juice, glucose gel, candy, or milk. If you have severe hypoglycemia and cannot eat or drink, use an injection of glucagon. Your doctor can give you a prescription for a glucagon emergency injection kit and tell you how to give the injection.
Check your blood sugar carefully during a time of stress or illness, if you travel, exercise more than usual, drink alcohol, or skip meals. These things can affect your glucose levels and your dose needs may also change.
Ask your doctor how to adjust your pioglitazone dose if needed. Do not change your medication dose or schedule without your doctor's advice. |
Use pioglitazone regularly to get the most benefit. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely.
Pioglitazone is only part of a complete program of treatment that may also include diet, exercise, weight control, foot care, eye care, dental care, and testing your blood sugar. Follow your diet, medication, and exercise routines very closely. Changing any of these factors can affect your blood sugar levels.
Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light. |
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. You may have signs of low blood sugar, such as extreme weakness, blurred vision, sweating, trouble speaking, tremors, stomach pain, confusion, and seizure (convulsions). |
What should I avoid while taking pioglitazone?
Avoid drinking alcohol. It lowers blood sugar and may interfere with your diabetes treatment. |
What are the possible side effects of pioglitazone?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. |

This includes prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.
Remember, keep this and all other medicines out of the reach of children, never share your medicines with others, and use this medication only for the indication prescribed.
