PRICE : For 2014 Nissan Rogue $22,490
As small crossovers go, the Nissan Rogue is a relative newcomer. The original model debuted just six years ago, and for 2014, Nissan has rolled out version 2.0 of the Rogue. In general, we thought pretty highly of the first-generation Nissan Rogue, praising its style, driving dynamics and cabin quality relative to the competition. Nissan is, of course, hoping to keep its upward momentum going on the fully redesigned model. In addition to offering better fuel economy, an available third-row seat and more technology features, the 2014 Nissan Rogue remedies some of the key deficiencies on the original version.
One of our criticisms of last year's Rogue concerned its modest 59.7-cubic-foot cargo capacity. The 2014 Rogue can swallow a class-competitive 70 cubes, and an innovative "Divide-N-Hide" configurable rear storage system is available. We also noted that the second-row seat didn't slide or recline in earlier Nissan Rogues, but this year it does both, with a useful 40/20/40-split configuration thrown in for good measure. Even better, Nissan added an optional third-row seat, a particularly shrewd move given that the Toyota RAV4 no longer offers one. Remarkably, all of this was accomplished without major increases to the Rogue's overall size or weight.
Under the hood of the 2014 Rogue, things are more familiar. Nissan's compact crossover carries on with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (generating 170 horsepower) and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). This powertrain still leaves something to be desired in the refinement department, as the CVT exacerbates the engine's noisy nature at high rpm. However, with a 28 mpg combined EPA estimate even with all-wheel drive, the Rogue is one of the most frugal non-hybrid small crossovers you can buy.
Despite the 2014 Nissan Rogue's improvements, there are rival crossovers that outdo it in specific areas. If you want more power, for example, the Rogue's got nothing for you, but the 2014 Kia Sorento boasts a robust V6 as well as a third-row seat of its own. Another mild disappointment is the new Rogue's softened suspension, which yields tepid handling compared to the sporty and similarly fuel-efficient 2014 Mazda CX-5. You might also consider a trip to your Hyundai dealer, where the two-row 2014 Santa Fe Sport promises superior performance and a unique sense of style.
Here's the genius of the redesigned Nissan Rogue, though: It may not be the best at everything, but its broader range of talents seems destined to draw more interest than ever before. Most compact-crossover shoppers will want to give the 2014 Rogue a look.
Premium surfacing is a nice touch and has a smooth flow that barely seems like it is made of metal. The most striking aspect is the new nose, with a deep chrome V forming the primary grille that is now much slimmer than before. The Rogue's headlights are also shifted from their vertical orientation on the old model to a now horizontal layout. Sharp edges the the lights show off the LED accent that lines the inner and bottom edges.
Running parallel with the glint of a reflection off the chrome grille, the white LED check marks in each corner of the Rogue's nose are a fantastic addition and way to give the crossover some major road presence. LED headlights are optional, as are fog lights down below.
Some premium sill and fender ribbing echoes the BMW X5 among others, and the standard 17-inch wheels make this affordable crossover seem far more expensive than it is.
2014 Nissan Rogue - Standard Exterior Features :
► Emotive design with no functional compromise (interior roominess, visibility)
► Halogen headlights with auto off function, standard LED daytime running lights
► Wide opening 2nd row doors for easy ingress/egress
► Body color outside mirrors with integrated turn signals
► Rear spoiler
► PURE DRIVE badge
► 0.33 coefficient of drag
► Eight available exterior colors: Midnight Jade, Saharan Sun, Brilliant Silver, Gun Metallic, Super Black, Cayenne Red, Moonlight White and Graphite Blue
The front seats are also impressive. They're the same "zero gravity" seats used in the Nissan Altima, and they offer greater levels of support and long-distance comfort than the Rogue's competitors. That's especially important because the seats adjust only six ways.
The second row offers plenty of room for two and three will fit in a pinch. The seat slides fore and aft up to six inches, so occupants can choose to maximize legroom or cargo room. Oddly, while the competitors have dropped their 7-seat option, Nissan adds an available third row for 2014. It's reasonably priced and included in the Family Package, but it's only useful for kids. Plus, to allow enough room for anyone to be comfortable back there, the first and second rows have to be moved forward, limiting legroom for everyone.
Nissan openly admits the cramped third row is just an "occasional seat" best suited for children, but this describes most third-row accommodations in vehicles of this size. Of course, cargo room suffers with that third row in place as there's only 9.4 cubic feet available. Fold both rows down and the Rogue opens up to offer 70 cubic feet of total space.
Stick with the two-row Rogue and you get the benefit of Nissan's new Divide-N-Hide cargo system. This rather ingenious two-piece cargo compartmentalization offers 18 configurations. It allows you to separate out wet and dirty boots and clothes, hold groceries in place and even offers a three-tiered shelving system, if you include the underfloor storage.

The base Rogue S starts from a very reasonable $22,490, not including destination charges, and comes with all the features most drivers need to plug and play it into their garages. It gets power windows, locks, and mirrors; an AM/FM/CD player with a USB port; Bluetooth with audio streaming; and a rearview camera. Add all-wheel drive, and the price rises to $23,840 before destination.
On five-seat models, the Rogue comes with the Divide-N-Hide cargo storage system. The third-row seat is offered only on the Rogue S and Rogue SV.
The $24,230 Rogue SV ($25,580 with AWD) gains 17-inch wheels; satellite radio; a power driver seat; automatic climate control; pushbutton start; and NissanConnect, which enables use of smartphone apps like Pandora. This connectivity kit is one of the easier systems you'll find in the class, with more limited functionality but plainer operation than the befuddled Ford setup, for example.
For $28,070 ($29,420 with AWD), the Rogue SL gets Bose audio; navigation; a power tailgate; surround-view cameras, one of our must-have features now that's it's spread outside the Nissan/Infiniti empire; 18-inch wheels; heated front seats; and leather upholstery.
Options on the 2014 Rogue include third-row seating on base and SV models; run-flat tires; a panoramic sunroof; those advanced-safety features; and LED headlights.
But only on the Rogue SL ($3800 over SV for leather, navigation, Bose audio, and bigger wheels) and its Premium Package ($2000) do you complete the technology suite, with forward collision warning and self-leveling LED headlamps, plus a moonroof. Since the moonroof is $1300 on its own and LED headlamps aren't cheap, that suggests the FCW component costs buyers $200-$300. At that price, it could have been offered on the mid-range Rogue SV.
At its best, Nissan adds a sporty flair to common products. The Pathfinder is one such vehicle, but the Rogue is not, which doesn't bode well for future Nissan and Renault products on the Common Module Family platform upon which the Rogue is based. The ride is generally comfortable, but handling is dull and interior noise is problematic. While handling is somewhat carlike, the Rogue has a tendency to understeer (push forward rather than rotate when driven hard into a turn). That doesn't make the driving experience bad — it's just not rewarding.
Nissan provides a system called active trace control to help the vehicle on its intended path during aggressive maneuvers, but it's only mildly effective. It amounts to brake torque vectoring that applies the inside brakes in turns to help the vehicle rotate, but it can't overcome the Rogue's inherent tendency to understeer and it doesn't add any fun factor. The steering doesn't help, either. It's artificially heavy but a bit slow and it offers little road feel.
The noise issues are due to a combination of drivetrain choice and not quite enough sound deadener. The Rogue uses Nissan's 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine mated to a continuously variable transmission. This provides adequate acceleration, but it's not peppy enough. Nissan isn't quoting zero-to-60 mph figures, but it's likely in the 9.5- to 10-second range, which is a bit slow for the class. Some rivals offer turbocharged 4-cylinder engines that are considerably quicker.
The CVT responds quickly enough to tap into the limited power the Roque has, but with no fixed gear ratios it sends the revs up high and keeps them there during acceleration. The result is an engine moan that owners might find annoying, especially when they've heard it for the umpteenth time. Ruts and bumps also cause crashing sounds...SEE ALL PHOTOS
The powertrains of the Rogue are the most carryover feature versus the groundbreaking exterior style and optional third row of seats inside. This is a machine that appeals to the core volume market, meaning an automatic transmission driving the front wheels with a four-cylinder engine is the standard setup.
AWD is optional on all trim levels, and the Rogue now puts out more power for a slightly quicker 7.8-second projected 60 mph sprint. The standard 2.5-liter engine produces 170 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque, which is up slightly versus last year.
The automatic is still a CVT, but Nissan is making big claims about its usability, performance and efficiency. This "next-gen" Xtronic CVT promises a 40-percent reduction in friction losses and a 10-percent improvement in fuel efficiency.
The friction losses stat is the most important, because it refers to a CVT automatic's ability to channel torque directly to the drive wheels without being reduced or 'overspun' (that irritating drone as the CVT absorbs engine power, then slowly meters it out to the wheels.) The new Xtronic box also promises a standard sport mode to go with the new configurable dynamics settings.
Much as the CVT is not a favorite of die-hard car guys, it is a perfect match for the Rogue's target market. It also delivers class-leading mpg scores, with Nissan projecting 26 mpg city and 33 mpg highway for the front-drive models.
With just marginal growth in wheelbase (up just 0.6 inches), the 2014 Nissan Rogue hasn't gained a lot of interior room versus the former model, which is now sold as the Rogue Select. That means it's still positioned at the smaller end of the compact-crossover class, but the perception of space and refinement has grown considerably. The Rogue's grown up--it's 1.2 inches taller and the doors open more widely--and it feels more grown-up, too.
As it did with the Altima, Nissan has outfitted the Rogue with very comfortable front seats and a good driving position, with just a touch of the Italianate steering-wheel tilt. Super-dense foam and great sculpting make the Rogue's chairs a place we could sit for a 12-hour road trip, no sweat. The manually adjustable seats add power for the driver on the Rogue SV and SL, but no passenger power seat is available. Instead, the front passenger seat folds down to extend interior cargo storage--you can toss an eight-foot ladder in through the tailgate and it should fit, provided you're driving solo.
The front seats also borrow a page from the Leaf playbook, with optional heating controls that warm up first in more sensitive contact areas.
Adults get ample accommodations in the second row, which slides on a 9-inch track to expand its leg room, reclines for long-distance comfort, and moves up and away behind the front seats for maximum cargo stowage. It's the third row they'll want to avoid: it's barely adequate for small children, and thankfully is an option unavailable on the top Rogue SL.
Both the second and third rows split and fold for flexible cargo space. It's 70 cubic feet in all behind the front seats with other rows folded down; 32 cubic feet behind the second row; and a skimpy 9.4 cubic feet behind the third row.
The third-row seat's such an occasional piece, we'd skip it in favor of the Divide-N-Hide cargo setup that's standard on five-seat models. With reconfigurable panels, you can create stowage boxes and bins in the back to suit whatever task you have, from carrying home ice packs and beverages, to hiding muddy boots until you can hose them off after a hike.
That active-lifestyle dreaming smacks into a more practical, soothing reality inside the Rogue. The cabin's trimmed out in more substantial, better-looking materials than the still-available Rogue Select, the former model carried over for a few more years. The contrast between new and old is stark: one's more plasticky and vaguely futuristic, one's tightly composed from low-gloss plastics and metallic trim.
The low point? Excessive engine noise that's amplified by the way its CVT holds revs in the more vocal part of its powerband.
From a driving enjoyment standpoint, we're not very fond of the 2014 Nissan Rogue's engine and CVT combo. Stellar fuel economy was the priority in this redesign, and it comes at the expense of rapid acceleration and overall refinement. As such, the engine speed sometimes drops too low for our tastes during gentle cruising, producing unwanted vibrations from the engine compartment that are audible in the Rogue's cabin. Hit the gas for maximum acceleration and the engine speed skyrockets, eliciting an intrusive drone from the 2.5-liter four-cylinder. Still, the 170-hp Rogue can get out of its own way when necessary, and it's hard to complain too much when you're earning 28 mpg combined.
Unquestionably, the 2014 Nissan Rogue's suspension is tuned for comfort. The ride gets a bit firmer with the SL's standard 18-inch wheels, but smooth and supple remains the order of the day. Fun to drive? Not exactly. The Mazda CX-5 easily retains its title on this front. But for daily driving, the Rogue's relaxed and mostly quiet dynamics are likely to hit the sweet spot for the majority of shoppers. This is a compact crossover that drives more like a midsize one, as families on a budget will be pleased to discover.
The only powerplant offered is a tried and true 2.5-liter four-banger. As before, it puts out 170 horsepower with 175 lb-ft of torque. These numbers are competitive, if unimpressive.
2014 Nissan Rogue Review04The engine may be essentially carryover but quite a few changes have been made to the transmission. If you were hoping for a stepped-gear unit opposed to the continuously variable trans installed in today's Rogue you're going to be sorely disappointed; the '14 vintage still has a CVT, but it's been refined in a number of ways.
The biggest news has to do with efficiency. Frictional losses in this gearless cog-box have been slashed by 40 percent, which results in 10 percent better overall petroleum efficiency. Sixty percent of the time it works every time!
The Rogue returns with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder and continuously variable transmission (CVT) found in the first-generation crossover. Power output's still fixed at 170 horsepower, though Nissan says 175 pound-feet of torque put the Rogue at the top of the compact-crossover niche.
Dip deeply into the gas, and the Rogue's CVT modulates the gaps between its pulleys to simulate an automatic with an infinite set of gears. It's quicker and smoother to do that, but the Rogue doesn't have fixed ratio points--"gears"--or shift paddles to reach them, like our current CVT favorite from the Subaru Forester. The result is mediocre, 8-second acceleration to 60 mph, and a noisy pause at the productive end of the Rogue's powerband. It's actually more refined in some ways than the prior Rogue, but compared to turbocharged four-cylinders and automatics in the Santa Fe, Escape, and others, it's less satisfying.
Where the Rogue makes up serious ground is in gas mileage and handling. The EPA rates both front-drive and all-wheel-drive Rogues at 28 mpg combined, with the front-drive model earning a 33-mpg highway rating.
Just as impressive is the Rogue's transformed road feel, more secure and substantial than it had been. Electric power steering isn't the curse here that it is in some compact cars: it doesn't wander and hunt on grooved concrete, and takes to changes with smooth responses. The suspension's independent all around, and ride quality is very controlled--bordering on firm.
It's augmented electronically with new stability-control logic. In one application, it damps the accelerator to smooth out the ride over bumps (instead of surging over them). In another, it clamps the inside front brake in corners to draw the Rogue through them more nimbly. The effects can't really be sensed without comparing the same Rogue, disabled, though.
Seventeen-inch wheels with all-season tires are standard; 18-inchers are an option on the top Rogue SL
► Standard Equipment:
For 2014, the basic Nissan Rogue S includes a multi-information display, 60/40-split rear seatbacks, a handy under-floor storage compartment, and a 4-speaker audio system with an auxiliary audio port. SV models add a power-adjustable driver's seat, premium fabric seating surfaces and a 6-speaker audio system with a 5.0-inch full color display and a USB port for portable music systems. A standard tilt/telescoping steering wheel lets you fine tune your driving position even closer to ideal. Standard safety equipment is comparable to most other small SUVs, but not exceptional.
► Optional Equipment:
With the majority of its feature content bundled into packages, including an expanded array of electronic safety features, the main individual options available for the 2014 Nissan Rogue are an enlarged panoramic moonroof, 7-passenger seating, Bluetooth, and all-wheel drive. S models offer a Special Edition Package comprised of 16-inch alloy wheels, a mid-grade audio system and a rear backup camera. Available on SV trims, the SL Package includes 18-inch alloys, navigation, a 9-speaker Bose premium audio system, Nissan's exclusive Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection, and leather seats.
The Rogue comes standard with stability and traction control, four-wheel antilock disc brakes, front-seat side airbags, side curtain airbags, a rearview camera and hill-start assist. The all-wheel-drive system adds hill descent control.
Additional safety features are available. The Around View camera system gives you a top-down 360-degree view of the Rogue's surroundings when parking, and it can be upgraded with a warning system that notifies you when moving objects enter the camera system's view. Also optional are a blind-spot warning system, a lane-departure warning system and a forward collision warning system.
2014 Nissan Rogue - Standard Safety Features:
► Standard Nissan Advanced Air Bag System (AABS) with dual-stage supplemental front air bags with seat belt and occupant classification sensors
► Standard front seat-mounted side impact supplemental air bags
► Standard roof-mounted curtain side impact supplemental air bags with rollover sensor for front and rear-seat outboard occupant head protection
► 3-point front seatbelts with pre-tensioners, load limiters and adjustable upper anchors
► LATCH System (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren)
► Child safety rear door locks
► Zone Body construction featuring front and rear crumple zones and occupant zone
► Standard Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) with Traction Control System (TCS)
► Standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with position monitoring
► VStandard Easy Fill Tire Alert system
The Nissan Rogue's gas mileage goes up significantly this year, nudging it from the ranks of the mediocre to the top tier of compact to mid-size crossover SUVs.
Last year, the front-wheel-drive Rogue was rated at 23/28 mpg; with all-wheel drive, its numbers fell to 22/26 mpg. That vehicle's still available as the Rogue Select, FYI, in case you're interested in a very low lease payment above fuel economy and crash-test scores.
This year, an optimized CVT and more efficient tires give the Rogue excellent ratings, on either the city or the highway cycles. The EPA certifies the front-drive Rogue at 26 miles per gallon city, 33 miles per gallon highway, or 28 mpg combined. With all-wheel drive, the combined number stays the same.
There's no plan for diesel power for the Rogue, as far as we know, and Nissan's hybrid four-cylinder in the new Pathfinder doesn't seem likely, given the Rogue's already impressive fuel economy.

Why am I so excited for baseball? That was the question posed to me this morning by one of my roommates when I gleefully told him that pitchers and catchers were reporting for our Buccos today. I really had no answer to that question. I mean, in the other sports I absolutely dread the thought of crappy teams and losing seasons. In other sports, I typically can tell when miserable teams are on the field (or court or ice) and I do my best to avoid getting too attached to those squads.
When the Pens missed the playoffs in the years B.S. (Before Sidney), I had little hope for most of those seasons, and while I followed hockey as much as any Burgher and student-rushed more than a few times, it wasn't because I really believed in those teams and they were a distant second to the Steelers from October through January. And by the time the NFL seasons wrapped up, the Pens were dunzo in the standings from 02 until 07 and it was hard to view them as much more than a holdover until baseball.
When Pitt football crapped the bed the past few seasons, I may have attended all their games and watched the road games on TV no matter what bizarre weeknight the Big East had them play on, but it was never a big deal to me. I love Pitt football, but I could tell those teams were fundamentally flawed and weren't going anywhere so I never got too attached until I saw the brilliance of Shady McCoy emerge last season.
Some might say this makes me a front-runner. I couldn't disagree more. In no way, shape or form have I ever abandoned a Pittsburgh team, not even when Matt Cavanaugh called for back-to-back passing plays on 3rd and 4th down late in the game from inside the Navy 3 yard line last season with the game on the line and Pitt needing a touchdown after Shady had run for roughly 5,000 yards in the game did I give up on a Pittsburgh team. But there is a difference between not abandoning a team and developing a close connection with a team. If you were able to develop a close connection that made you want to watch every game with Dick Tarnstrom and the 04 Pens and think about how those guys project into the future and every win made you think the team was building off of something, then my hat's off to you. You are a more devoted Pens fan than I. Not until the Pens got Sid or when Mario played the occasional game in those dark years did I go out of my way to watch the Pens, and I was often downright terrified to think about the team's future given that their franchise also doubled as the owner and one of the most injured players in NHL history. From Sid's rookie campaign on, I've been attached to each Pens team. Even that lousy first year that enabled us to get J-Staal. I bet I student-rushed 20 games that season. The connection to that losing team is how I've felt about basically every Pirates team since I was old enough to comprehend their ineptitude. But that initial attachment to the Pens wasn't because of an attachment to hockey or to the team. It was because of Crosby. Only after I saw the brilliance of Geno and J-Staal and the development of the Flower and Gonch getting his legs back did I come to appreciate this team.
Even after that (I hope) logical explanation some probably still are judging me. Especially some of the Pens fans I've seen at the Igloo of late. And I just can't let that stand. You know what? It's time for a quick rant. Just a warning, you may want to skip this next paragraph, but I need to write it.
Start Rant
Some of these older Pens fans seem incredibly irritated by the younger fans whom they view as just "bandwagon hoppers" who now fill the arena. Look, I understand how proud you are to be a fan since 1975 or what the hell ever, but what's with the resentment of people who are new to Pens fandom? Yes it's very cool and very admirable you stuck by the Pens during their dry run, but Hockey is one sport that sure as hell can't afford to turn any fans away, even if it is in a strong hockey market like the Burgh. I just don't get the perspective that fans in their early-mid 20s are all bandwagon fans because they weren't watching and going to games before the Pens were good a few years back. Uhmm...why the hell would we have gone to many games? I mean I've gone to more games than most my age but I'm sure some will look down their noses at me because I wasn't willing to devote 82 nights a year to watching EdZo fail miserably at installing the left wing lock while the league spiraled down the tubes and many thought it would go completely under. The NHL had a dreadful business model and a dreadful product in the early 00's and the Pens had a few dreadful teams and yet they still charged a butt load of money for tickets. Somehow everyone forgets all this. And now that the team is playing to full houses in the Igloo and there is youthful support of the squad, that's supposed to be a bad thing? Something's not adding up here. The Pens are basically the only youthful success in this old, old, old city of ours. Again how is that a bad thing?
End Rant
Aaaaaaaand we're back to the story: For some reason, baseball is different for me. Always has been. I don't know why. It was my favorite sport growing up, I played it in high school, and on beautiful days shortly after winter (like the past Tuesday and Wednesday) I really, really want to go out and shag a few flies and hit the batting cages. No matter how far into the season it is, I follow the Pirates no matter their record or how many dozens of games they are out of first. What can I say? I'm a sick, sick human being.
In all seriousness, how many college-age students or slightly younger in the Pittsburgh area can you say you know are Pirate fans? My guess is the number is hovering slightly above zero. And of those how many are legit die-hards? That number has to be so low it might even be negative. When your local baseball squad sucks for well over a decade, young impressionable fans start bailing when they get old enough to realize just how much of a trainwreck the organization is. I've always been tempted to do so, but never could actually do it. A few times I've even gone so far as to pick a new team to root for, but my heart was never in it. If that team was playing the Bucs, I switched sides within 2 seconds of the game starting. So finally I just stopped trying to switch allegiances. I'm stuck as a Pirate fan for life, no matter what. No question its been a maddening upbringing, but it's not been all bad.
I like to think that it's maybe kept me a bit grounded as a sports fan. At least that's one rationalization I use. I've been blessed with being a fan of the best franchise in all of football, watching back-to-back Stanley Cup titles come to town in my first two seasons as a Pens fan, watching countless transcendant talents in football and hockey, and following one of the best college basketball programs as it built itself from the ground up. Having the Buccos crap the bed every season and make gawd-awful decisions gave me a perspective on how the other half lives.
And so, another season of Pirates baseball is about to commence, and once again I will search high and low for reasons for optimism. And I will be there for my 14th opener out of the last 15 (PNC Park's first season is my only miss) and I will get every scouting report possible on whatever prospects they inevitably get for deadline deals, and when they finish this season at 70-92 or something like that, I will pinpoint any progress certain players have made and I will try to factor in the up-and-coming prospects and when they might be able to help out and when the earliest we could expect a winning record might be.
Yup, it's a very interesting existence being a Pirates fan, especially when baseball is the sport you are most attached to and have the most experience with. As maddening as it is and as much as I hate what the Pirates have done to me for the last 16 years, nothing can stop my massochistic side from going back for more. And so I look forward to a season of cheering on Wilson, Sanchez, Snell, Maholm, McLouth, and Doumit while hoping for the best from Morgan, the brothers LaRoche, Gorzelanny, and Duke and waiting for reinforcements to arrive in the form of McCutchen, Tabata, Alvarez, and Lincoln.
At some point this weekend, I'll be back with some more Pirates stuff. Until then
6 years ago

16. Libriomancer, by Jim Hines. While not the deepest book I've read this year, it's fun, and it gets points for asking some of the right questions.
17. The Apocalypse Codex, by Charles Stross. The fourth Laundry novel. If one likes this stuff, and I do, it's the sort of stuff one likes.
18. Alarums & Excursions #450.

20. The Troupe, by Robert Jackson Bennett. I liked this, and it's interesting to compare it to The Night Circus. I should probably also talk more about it in Logophile.
21. Lizzie Newton: Victorian Mysteries, volume 2. I hadn't yet found volume 1, but I find that picking up with volume 2 of a manga is often Just Fine. I had about as much chance of solving the mystery as in a Sherlock Holmes tale, i.e., none whatsoever, but it's all about the relationships.
22. The Thorn and the Blossom, by Theodora Goss. Well written, but there was something that happened which threw me out of the mythical stuff she was doing and made me thoroughly unsympathetic to one of the characters.
23. The Hum and the Shiver, by Alex Bledsoe. I enjoyed parts of this and got annoyed by other parts.
24. Houdini: The Handcuff King, by Jason Lutes and Nick Bertozzi. Graphic novel about one of my favorite stage magicians.
25. Lizzie Newton: Victorian Mysteries, volume 1. This felt to me like it played fairer than volume 2, but I'm not sure it really did, and I had the same chance of solving either of them.

I don't blog very often about heavy-duty political issues; a lot of other bloggers and print writers do it so much better than I. When presented with instances of outrageous injustice, I tend to go into stuttering rages that render me incoherent. Every once in awhile, though, some news item affects me beyond the point where shouting at the TV or muttering into my paper can fully satisfy my need to vent, and I'm compelled to pull myself together. A New York Times Quotation of the Day from last week is such an instance.
"This demonstrates, at least for now, that the United States is fully capable of prosecuting terrorism while affording defendants the full procedural protections of the Constitution." So proclaimed Michael Greenberger, a professor of terrorism law at the University of Maryland law school, on the conviction of Jose Padilla. {Emphasis added}
Sputter sputter. Rage rage. Mmf mmf. How can someone possibly say such a thing?!? Does he live in a cave? Can I possibly be more well-read than a law professor? (Answers: I don't know, apparently yes, and ditto.)
Jose Padilla, popularly known as the "dirty bomber," was last week sentenced to life in prison for allegedly collaborating with Al Quaeda operatives to commit terrorist acts in the U.S.–and while in custody Padilla was tortured. Dr. Angela Hegarty, a forensic psychiatrist who spent 22 hours with Padilla prior to his trial at the request of his lawyers, described his condition on Amy Goodman's Democracy NOW: after nearly four years in a military brig in South Carolina, most of it in solitary, Padilla, she said, was broken down to the point where he lost all semblance of self-identity. "What happened at the brig was essentially the destruction of a human being's mind," said Dr. Hegarty. "[Padilla's] personality was deconstructed and reformed." She said the effects of the extreme isolation on Padilla are consistent with brain damage.
Out of fear or disorientation, Padilla would not, or could not, describe everything that was done to him, so the following is, we can assume, only a partially complete list: keeping his cell all dark or all light for long periods of time; sleeping on a steel bed with no mattress; forced to wear shackles; slapping; exposure to heat or cold for long periods of time; forcible showering. He told Dr. Hegerty he was terrified of being taken to a thing called the "cage." He spoke of his lack of sleep, the relentless clicking and banging of doors and other loud noises, and never knowing the date or time of day. For a long time his only contact was with his interrogators. Dr. Hegerty concluded, "I have worked with torture victims and, of course, abuse victims for a few decades now, and I think, from a clinical point of view, he was tortured."
By designating Padilla an "enemy combatant," the Administration was able to deny him the rights usually afforded prisoners. During the first three years of custody, he was denied legal consultation: lawyers took his case to the Supreme Court, and organizations as diverse as the Cato Institute and the ACLU filed amicus briefs supporting the appeal. (For more on the appeal, see this article by the Cato Institute.)
Now, having read and absorbed the above, re-read the NY Times Quotation that got me started, published the day after Padilla's conviction:
This demonstrates, at least for now, that the United States is fully capable of prosecuting terrorism while affording defendants the full procedural protections of the Constitution.
If what Jose Padilla got was the full procedural protection of the Constitution, then I'll take the law of the jungle myself, thankyouverymuch.
I've just read a blog about the Jena 6, another case of outrageous injustice. Click here.

On a side note WTF happened to Petit Lion around the corner? Maybe 2 covers per night!
And if you pop in to New Orleans Athletic Club, you can see a plaster cast made from Sullivan's arm. Weird but true.
2008 Detroit Lions - 4-0 in preseason and lots of hope, 0-16 in actual games that count. Saints continue to be terrible.
This is why we only let them have one parade in Mid City. What a bunch of amateurs!! This is not much of a problem uptown but then again we're professionals!
As an aside, it is also time for the city to reassess these so called "driveways" though out the FQ. Most are complete BS and strictly become private spaces for the buildings. If you can't actually DRIVE a car into your building then the no parking thing should go away. This would add some revenue but of course would tick off some of the rich folks and lord knows Landrieu isn't going after them.

Information and Communication Technologies in Healthcare
As the population ages and healthcare costs continue to soar, the focus of the nation and the healthcare industry turns to reducing costs and making the delivery process more efficient. Demonstrating how improvements in information systems can lead to improved patient care, Information and Communication Technologies in Healthcare explains how to create a holistic Medical Records System as a core component to addressing the issues affecting the U.S. healthcare system.
Examining the impact of our aging population on healthcare, the book describes the range of systems that support key segments of the industry, including: hospitals, physicians, imaging, and nursing. It considers patient records, the physician's office, emerging home-monitoring networks, the recording and information submitting process, and hospice/nursing home use.
Leaving no stone unturned, this reference investigates: Healthcare technology Healthcare data standards Healthcare information exchange Legal and regulatory issues Electronic medical records Usability by patients and physicians Security and privacy Healthcare facility planning Emerging media and healthcare The book includes a case study that illustrates the human factors behind the implementation of technology.
Following the principle that data should be captured only once, stored in a repository, and then made available throughout the medical system, this is the ideal starting point for those looking to improve the effectiveness and cost efficiencies of the healthcare system.

Wednesday, December 31, 2008
This year was the year that defined "smart money" and "dumb money". There was very little "in between". This year was also a year full of the unexpected. Complete shockers. Who would have known that all of this stuff would happen?
The only way to trade was to expect the worst…even when we didn't know how bad it could get. I remember pulling all-niters on Sundays in October, just because I knew something would happen! I'm sure many others had sleepless nights.
I am also sure that many people who have their money managed by a mutual fund or a shitty hedge fund may want to re-think where they invest. The biggest investment should be in yourself through education. You are the master of your money. I met my target of reading over 100 books this year. I read 113. What's your target for 2009?
The fact is, I turned 24 just last month and I made north of 265%, my best year ever. I made a killing in CWST to cap off the year (just ask my students). I have an I.Q. of about 120, so I'm not a genius, I am just an average person. In fact, I failed Calculus I the first time I took it. The point is, anyone with the right mindset can become a successful trader – yes, even in the worst crisis of our generation.
I am glad that I finally stepped up to the plate to create this blog for the many readers who did want to learn about technical analysis, chart reading, and short-term trading. Going into 2009, I will make my best effort in presenting the technical picture of the market on a daily basis. I take pleasure in doing what I do best.
Below are the usual charts but also my predictions for 2009:
The S&P 500 will re-test the 750 lows in the first half of 2009, and we will close below 700 by the end of 2009. This bear market will not end in 2009.
Crude oil will stay below $75/barrel for all of 2009.
Gold will break out above $1100/oz.
The VIX will hit 100 for the first time ever.
Posted unemployment will hit 10.5%. Total Unemployment (U-6) will hit 20%. The Employment Diffusion Index will hit the teens.
Commercial real estate values will drop 30-40%. Land development, office space, warehouses, shopping malls, hotels, and resorts will do the worst. Large multi-family properties will do the "best" because they will house all the folks who will lose their homes.
20% of retailers will file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The bailout money will run out and the Fed/Treasury will request an additional package…and be denied. This debate will drag on for weeks and weeks.
Numerous local municipalities and/or states will go bankrupt. Many states will be unable to pay out full unemployment benefits.
The U.S. will be involved in another war.
A major terrorist attack, economic/financial, and/or political crisis will hit the U.S.
Martial law will be declared and FEMA's Executive Orders 10990-11921 will be activated by the President. Military units will be deployed on the streets of America. The UN will continue to ship large numbers of military vehicles to the US mostly via Port of Beaumont, TX. There will be a massive build up of military equipment.
Ok, maybe not the last one, but you get the idea. I don't see how our bear market (in the worst crisis since the Great Depression) can last for only 2 years. The tech bear lasted for more than 2 years and that didn't even involve a global credit crisis! Bulls should not get too comfortable in 2009. There will be disappointments.
I think this will once again be a trader's market, rewarding those that are nimble. Join me in battle next year and let's slay this motherfuckin' dragon and make some serious money!
P.S. Have fun tonight and tomorrow and try not to get into a situation where YOU'LL need a bailout!

Hi John!!
I'm really concerned about the VIX. I have one indicator says VIX will test RSI 25 = VIX's 200 day. Then , there's the actual RSI at 30.2 bull signal itself. ( VIX at RSI 32 today, I've been predicting that for weeks now)
What a conundrum.
Too bad, I won't know the answer until RSI is at 29.5, or bounces higher off RSI 30.2

Hi John-I love your blog and will start serious short term trading when I feel I am ready. Don't be so sure your last prediction won't come to be. We will be a lot safer once Bush is out of office but the potential is still there.

Ok, I'll bite, nice cheery outlook but where or is it how did you come to this conclusion? Where would the U.N. get military vehicles? This reads like something from 60's era red scare epic. Do tell, this is a less than happy prediction.

I hope doesn't happen, but there needs to be some kind of intentional disaster/crisis for this to happen. Until then, it won't happen.

Let's talk about the ideal way to burn fat. Since belly fat is stubborn you will need to be consistent and you'll see effects. Losing fat is just one of the most frequently encountered exercise objectives and it can be accomplished through just about any style of training you prefer. Healthy fats can promote weight reduction. Getting into all the incredible health benefits of exercise is beyond the reach of this short article, but exercise does appear to be good at reducing belly fat.
Let's talk about the ideal way to eliminate weight. In addition, it happens to be the healthiest approach to eliminate weight and it's more likely to result in long-term success. The best method to slim down is to quit eating ever again and commit your whole life to constant exercise. Walking has been heavily documented as the very best thing for sedentary folks to add to drop weight permanently. Be aware that reducing the usage of extra sodium only reduces the danger of being overweight it doesn't burn fat after you might have already gained an excessive amount of weight.
Bear in mind, though you wish to drop weight, you don't need to starve yourself. If buying T3 Clenbuterol you'll be assured to drop weight quicker with this than every other supplement currently on the market. When it has to do with losing weight, each one of these things can help or hinder your attempts to eliminate weight. Slimming down can surely be very challenging.
You don't lose weight by simply eating less. Combine this with a weight reduction program or weight loss program or diet that you devise and you'll shed weight and eliminate belly fat fast. While those methods may be useful for some, the best method to slim down fast is by simply practicing healthy living.
You will only be consuming all of your food in some specific windows, whilst fasting for the remainder of the moment. Every item of food which you put in your mouth comprises calories. You simply need to pick the proper foods and prepare them in a wholesome manner. Plus the unhealthiest food is the least expensive and most readily offered. A fat burning food is a kind of food that has a blend of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals which is used to promote fat burning hormones within your physique.
By utilizing olive oil instead of routine cooking oil, you're making your diet much healthier. What it does mean is, if you're on a diet, eating certain foods can help you burn calories and eliminate weight faster. While diet and exercise are important, they aren't the only aspects that you ought to be concentrating on. A suitable diet also has to avoid certain sorts of food. When it has to do with eating right you will need to have a really good well-balanced diet which includes loads of fruits and vegetables so you get the fiber, vitamins, and minerals your body requires. If you don't eat a well-balanced diet, this step is very important. The elimination diet is found through my internet site at the base of this page.
In order to truly see weight loss remember you're likely to get to be at a caloric deficit meaning that you're burning more calories than you're consuming. Therefore the way to use this report that will help you turbocharge your fat loss is to work out where you are storing nearly all of your
body fat. It makes it possible to feel full and thus assists in weight reduction. Add these 2 exercises to your routine and you're going to accelerate your weight reduction. It's not approved for weight reduction, so one should be mindful of those marketing claims by weight reduction supplement makers. Although by developing a calorie deficit is our primary aim, there is a particular approach to do it because consistent weight loss can't be achieved by simply eating less than you want.
Without proper vaccines, the body is able to be more prone to disease, which can be harmful to long-term well-being or even death. Your body requires fat to keep its function, but the sort of fat you take in is vital. You are able to train your whole body in only 2-3 exercises.
Whenever your body lets you know it's time to stop, get out. After 10-15 minutes you'll find your body slightly shivering. It safeguards your body from flu and also enables you to fight insomnia. Like it or not, your body requires fat to keep healthy and strong. It simply isn't going to be able to supply enough energy to take care of such a change. It will be able to help you drop a very good quantity of body fat fast.

I have always been motivated by His Holiness, Pope Francis' compassion and love for the mentally ill and their caregivers – as well as my mother's repeated advice to help as many people as I can – even though I have my fair share of critics.
Pope Francis teachings and homilies are excellent.
In a recent homily, he said these words of wisdom:
"Priests are called to console, not heap obligations on people.
Priests are called to be mediators between God and God's people, offering their time and their very lives in service; they are not God's "intermediaries" or functionaries, who go to work to get paid or, worse, enter the priesthood in search of status," His Holiness added.
An authentic priest, Pope Francis went on to say, "is close to the life of his people, while a functionary "does not know what it means to get his hands dirty."
Serving as a mediator, immersing oneself in the joys and sorrows of the people is the most satisfying part of being a priest, the Pope said "Those who are functionaries, on the other hand, are not happy, but seek happiness "in being noticed, in feeling like an authority."
"To make themselves important, they take the path of rigidity," he said. "Many times, detached from the people, they have no idea what human pain is. They have lost what they learned at home from the work of their dad, mom, grandparents, siblings," he said. "Those rigid ones heap upon the faithful many things that they cannot carry."
In concluding his homily, Pope Francis said: "They hold a whip in their hands with the people of God: 'You can't do this, you can't do that.' And many people who come to them seeking a bit of consolation, a bit of understanding, are chased off by this rigidity."
In yet another motivating speech, the Pope advised all of us to smile even though life is hard because when we smile there is hope.
God Bless you, Pope Francis and I wish you, "A Blessed Merry Christmas 2016 and A Happy New Year 2017".

Suzuki has short brown hair, always wears a jacket and has yellow starred eyes.
Suzuki is a nice and popular person, always taking care of people.
He spent his High School years at Sankai High. 7 years ago, since his classmate was also named Suzuki, he accidentally took his tracksuit instead of his own. He was told to meet him at the gym at 4pm to give it back, but his classmate died in an accident, so he preserved it.
3 or 2 years ago, he trained to be a teacher at Sankai High, and worked with the class representative Yōko Kanō who fell in love with him. She got the courage to give him her email address when his training ended, but a sudden gust of wind made him lose it and a lovely lady helped him look for it and became his girlfriend. He came back a year later at Sankai High as a newly-appointed teacher and hoped to apologize to Yoko for not replying, but she avoided him for she learned that he got a girlfriend and died of food poisoning.
Suzuki thought of giving his classmate's tracksuit to Rinne, who recently enrolled in Sankai High and couldn't afford a tracksuit. But as he happened to be dealing with the spirit of his classmate, Rinne had to ask Suzuki to give it back to his classmate so he may pass on.[1]
He would meet the spirit of Yoko when Rinne was dealing with her, and allowed her to pass on by reassuring her.[2]

Just What Makes Acn A Good Organisation Chance For Every Person?
ACN is a network advertising and marketing business that offers fundamental solutions to people from all strolls of life. Their items and also services include inexpensive telephone solution, electronic as well as video phones, and web and also cordless solution. It started as a small firm as well as throughout the years has expanded into something bigger as well as much better. Today, ACN is just one of one of the most popular multi-level advertising company. As a matter of fact, it is the world's biggest straight vendor of interaction items. ACN provides a wonderful income opportunity. It was started in 1993 by a group of people namely Robert Stevanovski, Greg Provenzano, Mike Cupisz, as well as Tony Cupisz. ACN runs in 19 nations and utilizes over a thousand staff members around the world.
However, practicing three times a day, 7 days a week is not mosting likely to make you a wonderful baseball player if you are exercising with a tennis racket. You have to be following a structured training strategy, and also doing the correct training in order to be the most effective. The same chooses being an ACN rep. You have to be adhering to a well considered company approach, targeting that you think will create the most earnings for your company. If you assume you could make the most sales from 18-24 years of age experts, then focus on this segment. Do not aim to require sales into the 65+ market- you can be throwing away beneficial time.
Do You Need To Recruit Individuals?
If you remain in business market, you probably became aware of ACN Inc. It stands for American Communications Network, the leading straight seller of telecommunication and essential products as well as solutions for both household and service customers. It started in the company in 1993 and also the target market was The United States and Canada. Over the years, the business broadened and began offering its product or services to various parts of the world, especially in Europe, Asia, as well as the Pacific. The sales pressure is the independent entrepreneur (IBO). The firm does not use typical advertising and marketing strategies. The marketing facet is turned over in the hands of independent company owner. With the top quality of products as well as services used by ACN Telecommunications, obtaining customers won't be a trouble.
Being a distributor of ACN Products, your objective is to reach a six-figure revenue in the initial year alone. Thinking about the services and products offered by ACN, you will surely have a significant market. With its front runner product, the video clip phone, you will certainly be able to make a substantial sale. Many people today are trying to find state-of-the-art items that will certainly allow them to connect to their loved ones regardless of where they remain in the globe.
Nonetheless, like any industry, there is the weird dodgy representative who will certainly sell ACN to you on incorrect pledges. Reps that assure Ressources that you will be making $10,000 each week within a month. Simply like the dodgy salesman who markets you a new vehicle, only for the exhaust to diminish after 2 miles. Unfortunately, these representatives are giving ACN a negative credibility. When reps do not meet these unrealistic expectations, they naturally feel as if they have actually been scammed and also conned.

After a dry spell of November/December, I have a flurry of good news to report:
* "The Candidate," a 5000+ word fantasy story written to immerse players in the background and storyline of Ascension board game, has been accepted by Gary Games and will be serialized in three parts on their web site sometime in late January or early February.
* A 2500 word essay "On The Road" will be published by Star City Games later this month. It is an autobiographical piece recounting some of my experiences while traveling to tournaments, and it's hilarious, if I say so myself. No prior knowledge/understanding of Magic trading card game is needed to read this, though it helps :)
* My column on MTG trading is forthcoming in the next issue of Beckett Magic magazine. Not sure of the release date, but should be sometime soon.
* "The Field Trip," a 2200 word humorous science fiction story has been accepted into the "In Situ" anthology from Dagan Books. "In Situ" is an archaeological term referring to artifacts found in their original environment. I found the concept intriguing and wrote the story specifically for this anthology, so I am naturally stoked to have it accepted. The anthology is tentatively scheduled for April 15.
* I am working hard to keep up with the Write 1 Sub 1 schedule. The first week of January was very productive. I polished up and sent out The Candidate, and wrote On The Road, both of which were quickly accepted. The second week, not so much. I had a ton of work I could not climb out of. Still, I wrote a 1000 word fantasy flash story "The Last Incantation." I am going to be a few days late in submitting it, since I like to stew the story for a little while, then send it to my friends for a second opinion, and then edit some more before actually inflicting it upon some innocent editors/slush readers - but I am optimistic about my ability to keep up with the W1S1 schedule on average, so far.

Ach - so I'm povvo. It's not going to change unless I do something drastic, and that's in the works now. So out of the long months of denial and freefall into the next chapter of Not Being Povvo Anymore.
Here's how I got here -
My marriage to Aquaman sadly hit the skids. I was working full time in a government job and things were sweet financially. I only had Teen Angst Queen...who was then known as Awesome Child.
Scorpio reappeared in my life and Cyclone arrived on the scene..errm rather quickly. Something to do with Scorpios house burning down and me clearly providing waaaaay to much comfort *snort *giggle.
I was also working part time for my father and when Cyclone was 4 months old I started a business in party plan (a cool one - ok?).
I bought a house when pregnant with Betty Boo (sucked in my tummy to get the loan) and the business started to take off. Took Mat Leave and juggled the business pretty well.
Home Business kept flying but it became apparent that I had to choose between business and family. Had savings so sailed through for awhile.
Returned to full time work when Betty was 2. Unmitigated disaster. Got shafted by stupid government - the day I showed up for work I was told I was moved to a totally different section meaning I had to completely re-train therefore stuffing my chances to return to my original salary and beyond within the timescale I required. Childcare, petrol, 2 hours a day in traffic and a Betty that wouldn't sleep turned me into a wreck within weeks and I had to chuck it in.
Bills piling up, picked up work here and there. Cyclones issues becoming more and more obvious. Thankfully find cheap therapist. Cyclone has sensory issues. This explains the intense and endless tantrums.
Betty needs a specialist for her eyes. Betty needs glasses. Car needs to be serviced. Cyclone needs a Paediatrition.
Return to study. Complete.
Start home business. Can't give it the attention but enjoy it immensely when I can.
Telly blows up. Children need clothes and food. Broken window. Car radiator bursts. Cyclone needs bigger carseat.
The list goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.
This wouldn't be a problem if I could have gone back to full time work, but I can't. I would need way too much time off. Cyclone has a bunch of appointments ($600 worth), he is in a school that I ADORE but costs because it's independent. I also need to be able to pick him up when he has a moment. No employer would cop that.
Now with my father unwell and needing me around alot more I've got a snowflakes chance in hell of getting back to the workforce anytime soon. I'm glad to be available to dad, it's just a heap of fricken irony that the moment he needs me I'm teetering off the edge. Fuck it.
I've hung in there for AGES, scraping by and never missing a mortgage payment but sacrificing everything else in the meantime. It's not working and the quality of life is.....craptacular.
It's allll over red rover.

We've come to rely on Tamara and Natasha Surguladze, identical twin sisters behind the London-based label Tata Naka, for splashes of colour and humorous patterns that make us smile like the Cheshire Cat. "Our main thing is not to take things too seriously," says Tamara. "We design for women who are not afraid to stand out and are fun and romantic. Our clothes are definitely not for a shy person!"
Tbilisi, where the sisters were born and raised, has a huge influence on their designs. "My grandmother's house in Tbilisi was the inspiration for one of our collections from a couple of seasons ago," Tamara says. "She had this colourful wallpaper, with traces of past generations that lived there and we designed the whole collection around that."
Below, Tamara talks us through her upcoming week and shares some of her favourite restaurants, markets and shops in London.
Alfies Antique Market (13 - 25 Church St, NW8 8DT)
We are planning on branching into homeware and interiors at Tata Naka and one of my favourite places to go is Alfies Antique Market for furniture and lighting. They have incredible mid-century Italian furniture and everything is curated very well, almost like a museum. I've recently bought some furniture with Murano glass details and some 1960s Italian sideboards and cabinets that are quite rare.
Bocca Di Lupo (12 Archer St, W1D 7BB)
I love Italian food and one of my go-to places for lunch is Bocca Di Lupo in Soho. The restaurant's menu features dishes from different regions in Italy. My favourite dishes are the orecchiette pasta with Nduja sausage and Roman-style fried artichokes. We just finished a collection – everything has been sent off to Paris this weekend – so we are celebrating the end of this crazy month by eating at this restaurant with friends.
Jo Hansford (48 South Audley St, W1K 2QB)
For colour, I go to Jo Hansford on South Audley Street. Natasha and I cut our own hair because we don't like it done too neatly – it has to be a bit messy. But we get our colour done professionally. I plan on getting highlights done this week before going on holiday because I love a lighter shade for summer.
John Sandoe Books (10 Blacklands Terrace, SW3 2SR)
My favourite bookshop to get books for the holidays is John Sandoe Books. It's really old and small but has a huge selection. It's got that charming, old-bookshop feel to it and the staff are really helpful. I've made quite a few purchases from there recently – right now, I'm reading two Iris Murdoch books I got from here. Her first book, Under the Net, is all about London. I think it's one of the best books about the city.
Mostly, I go there to buy classics – I'm not really into bestsellers.
Luigi's Delicatessen (349 Fulham Rd, SW10 9TW)
For groceries, I normally go to the local grocers and delis. We have Luigi's, the Italian deli down the road from our house that's been around for ages. It's super fun and has a great staff.
Weather permitting, we're planning on having a barbecue this week, so we'll get some meat and salads from Luigi's and have friends over. Growing up in Georgia, we had so many big food markets where you can find out where everything comes from. I like to continue that tradition here.

Kotha Prabhakar Reddy as TRS Medak Candidate
The Telangana Rashtra Samiti has zeroed in on its candiate for upcoming Medak Lok Sabha bypoll. After a lot of dilly dallying, it announced Kotha Prabhakar Reddy as its candidate for the seat. Whereas TNGO president Deviprasad, who was a strong contender for the seat, has been nominated as MLC. The election for Medak Parliament is necessitated after KCR decided to represent Legislative Assembly from Gajwel constituency and gave up the seat of Parliament.
48-year-old Kotha Prabhakar Reddy is a transport baron who own Sony Travels and rents his buses to corporate firms in Hyderabad. He is going to slug out with former minister Sunitha Lakshma Reddy from Congress. BJP-TDP combine is fielding Jagga Reddy as its candidate.
The bypoll election turned out to be curcial for all the major political parties. TRS is keen to pocket the seat again as this election might be seen as referendum to 3-month-old TRS government. On flip side, BJP-TDP is banking on Narendra Modi's charisma whereas Congress wants to improve its number in the Lok Sabha. The election is scheduled to take place on Sep 13 and the result will be announced on Sep 16.
