Saviour Chishimba says idiocy in successive governments continues to thrive predominantly because of a foolish citizenry.
Chishimba laments that the level of foolishness is so entrenched in Zambia that a voice of reason would sound like a broken record.
"It is only in Zambia where leaders with a clear direction for the country will not be voted for – our people would rather vote for an idiot and known looters as long as he carries a big Bible and jumps like a monkey from one church to another on Sundays," says Chishimba.
This reminds us of what Abhijit Naskar wrote: "When a nation's people willingly or unwillingly make a mistake and give authority of their lives in the hands of a leader who represents neither hope nor humanity, instead keeps thriving on and indeed advocating for, the primitive elements of human character, it becomes the utmost civilised responsibility of those very people to either make a true leader out of him if possible, or dethrone him for good."
The success of our democracy will depend, in the end, on the reliability of the judgments we citizens make, and hence upon our capacity and determination to weigh arguments and evidence rationally.
We arecitizens, and citizenship carries responsibilities.
We are not born to accommodate tyranny over our hearts, minds, bodies, or souls. We are here to confirm an abundance of love-inspired possibilities greater than such restrictions.
Bill Maher said, "Freedom isn't free. It shouldn't be a bragging point that 'Oh, I don't get involved in politics,' as if that makes you somehow cleaner. No, that makes you derelict of duty in a republic. Liars and panderers in government would have a much harder time of it if so many people didn't insist on their right to remain ignorant and blindly agreeable."
It's not unpatriotic to denounce an injustice committed on our behalf; perhaps it's the most patriotic thing we can do.
In The Social Contract, Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote, "As soon as any man says of the affairs of the State 'What does it matter to me?' the State may be given up for lost."
There are thousands who are in opinion opposed to the way this country is being misgoverned by Edgar Lungu and his minions, who yet in effect do nothing to put an end to this; who, esteeming themselves good citizens, sit down with their hands in their pockets and say that they know not what to do, and do nothing.
If a government decision or practice is wrongheaded, feckless and corrupt, one should take it personally and consider it a moral obligation to sound off and not shut up until it's fixed.
When justice is prioritised by any leader at any level then to give justice to the citizenry will always be at the back of the mind of such a leader.
If there is any society where the leaders lack the knowledge and the importance of justice, then oppression will be a common neighbour of the citizens.

Lawyer told to apologise to court
A Port Moresby-based lawyer who had a civilian appear in Mt Hagen District Court on his behalf has apologised to the court.
Magistrate Joseph Donald told the lawyer to apologise to him before the case could proceed.
He said this after the lawyer asked a paralegal to appear in court on his behalf.
Donald told the lawyer that if he was unable to represent his client in a court case with Telikom PNG, he should ask one of his lawyer friends based in Mt Hagen to stand in on his behalf.
He told him in front of a packed court that he was not happy when a civilian, not a lawyer, appeared in his court on Feb 14.
Donald said law firms must respect the district courts.
The lawyer apologised to the court, saying that he was busy attending to another matter on that day and could not make it.
The lawyer said he would not repeat the practice.

A 60-year-old Winterville man was charged with driving while impaired after police said he ran a red light, collided with another vehicle and fled the scene according to a weekly review of Pitt County court records and a State Highway Patrol crash report.
Willie Lee Durham, of 2379 Wedgewood Drive was arrested by the Greenville Police Department on Nov. 6 after he ran a steady light at the intersection of South Memorial Drive and Dickinson Avenue and his 1999 Dodge van turned in front of a 2012 Nissan passenger car being driven by Terrance Purvis of Greenville. After the crash, which occurred at 7:45 a.m., Durham fled the scene but was later located and apprehended by police.
At the time of impact, Durham's vehicle was traveling 30 mph and Purvis' vehicle was traveling 20 mph. The speed limit for that section of road is 45.
Durham's van sustained $1,000 in damages and Purvis' car sustained $2,000 in damages.

It doesn't matter how great the reviews of an app or game are; there's always the chance that you'll buy it, download it, and be underwhelmed. Maybe it doesn't work as you'd hoped or even worse, doesn't work at all. That's when you request a refund.
Nobody enjoys asking for a refund, but nobody likes paying for a sub-par app or service, either. That's why requesting a refund is sometimes unavoidable.
When requesting a refund from the Google Play Store, things can be a little tricky. Google doesn't always give refunds for Google Play purchases, but in our experience, if you ask for an app or in-app purchase to be refunded within 48 hours of making the purchase, you shouldn't have too many problems.
If you're particularly quick and uninstall an app shortly after buying it, you may find that you automatically get a refund. If that does not happen, follow the process below. You have 48 hours from the time of purchase to ask for a refund–beyond that, Google may require that you contact individual developers instead.
Assuming you're within the 48-hour window, here is the process you can follow to request a refund from the Google Play Store.
To start things off, open a web browser and visit your Google Play account page. This is the same whether you are using a phone or computer.
Scroll down until you see your order history and find the app that you wish to have refunded. To the right of the item, you will see three vertical dots. Click those dots, followed by "Request a refund."

PETE Doherty and his band kept everybody waiting but it was well worth it.
He always manages to balance his concerts on a knife edge with that feeling that it could all come crashing down. But that only adds to the excitement.
It was the last gig on the UK tour and he seemed more fatigued than usual but he still had the audience in the palm of his hand and the band were razor sharp behind him.
Guitarist Mick Whitnall seems to have improved his musicianship greatly and Drew McConnell on bass with a new drummer drove the night along at top speed at times. The almost full O2 lapped up the songs from the new album Sequel to the Prequel and Doherty could do no wrong as he wore hats from the crowd and read out messages, asking people if they knew some of his old school friends from his Blandford days.
There was a worrying moment of dub reggae that thankfully did not last long and the echo on his microphone was a little strong at times.
But their early songs like Killamangiro and Pipedown were riotous and a rendition of The Ramones' Blitzkrieg Bop was fantastic.

Ned Vaughn resigns from SAG-AFTRA to run as Republican for Assembly
Source: La Times
By: Richard Verrier
In a surprising plot twist in Hollywood's largest labor union, Ned Vaughn, a key figure in the campaign to merge Hollywood's actors unions, is resigning as executive vice president of SAG-AFTRA to run as a Republican candidate for the California Assembly.
Vaughn said he would seek an Assembly seat in the 66th district, representing L.A. County's South Bay, an unexpected career move for the veteran actor who has been an influential figure in the formation of SAG-AFTRA, which was established a year ago and has about 165,000 members. Al Muratsuchi, a Democrat, currently represents the 66th District.
Vaughn was elected to the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) board of directors in 2008 and quickly rose to become the guild's first vice president in 2010.
Following the merger, Vaughn was named executive vice president of SAG-AFTRA, serving as the second-ranking and only Republican national officer of the union.
Vaughn, who lives in Rancho Palos Verdes with his wife and five children, cited his children's future as the primary reason for his entry into public service. He is known for his roles in "The Hunt for Red October," "Apollo 13," "The Tuskegee Airmen" and "24."
"California used to be the land of opportunity, where the Republican ideals of improvement through a quality public education, hard work and individual achievement could provide a good life for people and their families. Today, hard work and individual achievement are undermined by those who champion higher taxes and bigger government," said Vaughn. "State government and the Democrat majority are wasting money, over-regulating small businesses and leading California down a path to mediocrity. I'm running for State Assembly to change that."
Vaughn's term as executive vice president was set to expire at SAG-AFTRA's inaugural convention, to be held Sept. 26-29 in Los Angeles.
"Ned has been a driving force behind many of our greatest successes, in particular the years-long effort to merge our two unions," SAG-AFTRA President Ken Howard said. "There would not be a united SAG-AFTRA without his dedication and commitment. He's a tremendous leader and I'm sorry to see him go, but wish him all the best in his new endeavor."
Although many Hollywood union leaders have clashed with the Republican Party over perceived assaults on organized labor, Vaughn said he does not see any inconsistency between his union background and his GOP candidacy.
"It puts the lie to the idea that all Republicans are completely anti-union," Vaughn said in an interview. "What I did at SAG-AFTRA really hewed to my Republican principles. I came into a situation where members weren't served. The situation was one of wasteful, excessive spending. The consolidation of these unions created a more efficient and effective organization that increased the power of members. That's good business."
Vaughn was praised by U.S. House of Representatives Majority Whip Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), of Bakersfield. "Ned Vaughn is the type of leader California needs: a proven problem-solver and an effective communicator who can give voice to millions of Californians who are tired of seeing our state fall behind," said McCarthy.

text: health insurance marketplace With SCOTUS Case Looming, Missourians Worry About Affording Health Insurance By Hope Kirwan • Jun 17, 2015 Hope Kirwan / KBIA Several months remain until the next open enrollment period for health insurance, but any insurance company looking to raise the cost of their plans next year had to submit their proposed increase by June 1. In Missouri, seven insurance companies submitted rate increases for 11 different plans, with proposed raises ranging between 11 and 28 percent. Almost every company who submitted a rate increase cited the rising cost of healthcare as a reason for the change. Listen Listening... / 3:15 Advice from an expert: Get help choosing your healthcare plan By Hope Kirwan • Jan 28, 2015 fhcmo.org It's no secret that health insurance can be a confusing topic. "There's not a ton of health insurance literacy," said Aaron Swaney, Outreach Enrollment Specialist for the Family Health Center in Columbia. "But that's true from people who have never had health insurance before to people who work in the healthcare field." Listen Listening... / 3:15 Health expert encourages Missourians to review options in healthcare marketplace By Hope Kirwan • Dec 10, 2014 Missouri Foundation for Health Open enrollment for health coverage in 2015 is underway, and some Missourians satisfied with their current health insurance may be surprised to learn that parts of their plans, including premiums, are changed for the coming year. The Cover Missouri Coalition, a program of the Missouri Foundation for Health, is encouraging consumers to review their options during this year's open enrollment period. I spoke with Ryan Barker, Missouri Foundation for Health's Vice President of Health Policy, about changes in this year's health insurance marketplace. Listen Listening... / 3:14 What consumers should know about healthcare enrollment for 2015 By Hope Kirwan • Dec 3, 2014 healthcare.gov Listen Listening... / Last week marked the beginning of open enrollment for the federal health insurance marketplace, and on the surface it appears not much has changed. By some measures premiums before tax credits are just as affordable as last year - decreasing on average by about one percent according to a report by the Kaiser Family Foundation. But to be a savvy shopper, many consumers should give the marketplace a second look. Missouri healthcare enrollment success still leaves room for improvement By RIKKI-LEE BURLEY • May 2, 2014 Rosemary / Flickr The US Department of Health and Human Services released data Thursday showing that 152,335 Missourians are enrolled in health insurance marketplace plans. The number of enrollees more than doubled in March alone, the total exceeding the federal goal by 29 percent. Data also showed, however, that 300,000 people in the state are unable to get insurance due to ineligibility for Medicaid or financial help in the marketplace. As enrollment deadline draws near, Missourians share their health insurance stories By Katie Hiler • Mar 27, 2014 Katie Hiler / KBIA Listen Listening... / 7:39 We've been hearing a lot about the Affordable Care Act from a number of politicians - Governor Jay Nixon, Senator Roy Blunt, and, of course, President Obama, to name a few. These people can talk about the number of people insured and weigh the cost versus economic impact. But behind those numbers they're citing are people, Missourians. Those dollar figures they throw around, that's money in and out of our pockets. So how do Missourians who have been trying to utilize the new healthcare law feel about it? Health insurance navigators help Missourians in final days of enrollment period By Marissanne Lewis-Thompson • Mar 26, 2014 Marissanne Lewis-Thompson / KBIA With the March 31 enrollment deadline for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act drawing near, healthcare centers across the state have been ramping up efforts to get Missourians signed-up. The group Cover Missouri organized a number of enrollment events across the state earlier this month. Health advocates push for insurance enrollment By Associated Press • Mar 7, 2014 Tax Credits / Flickr Health care advocates are making an extra push to get people signed up for insurance through a federal website before a March 31 deadline. The Cover Missouri Coalition says about 40 enrollment events are planned Saturday around the state, including some featuring live music, free food and advice from tax preparers. Dozens of additional events are planned in the coming days. The coalition also will be running new online and radio advertisements between now and the end of the month. Federal judge grants injunction against Mo. state navigator law By Associated Press • Jan 23, 2014 Americasroof / Wikimedia Commons A federal judge on Thursday granted a preliminary injunction against Missouri's law requiring of a state license to serve as a navigator to help consumers sign up for coverage through the new health insurance marketplace. An attorney for the St. Louis-based plaintiffs calls the ruling by U.S. District Judge Ortrie D. Smith a "huge victory." Messages seeking comment from state officials were not immediately returned. Success with HealthCare.gov takes patience, persistence By Harum Helmy • Dec 20, 2013 Harum Helmy / KBIA News Listen Listening... / 5:30 On an afternoon in early December, 60-year-old Columbia resident Jeannie Wyble sits in a small cubicle at Columbia's Family Health Center, telling Aaron Swaney, a HealthCare.gov application counselor, about the heart attack she suffered in 2002. "I quit smoking when I had my heart attack," Wyble said. "Smoked my last cigarette on the way to the ER, never smoked another one." At the time, Wyble was still insured through her husband's union plan. But after the heart attack, the insurance company began increasing her monthly premium. Wyble says at one point, she had to pay almost $500 a month. "And then when we found out they were going to jump even more again the following January," Wyble said. "It was very clear to us that we couldn't pay my premiums anymore and that mine would just have to be dropped. In effect, [the insurance company] decided to get rid of me, and it worked. They did. They got rid of me." Lukewarm response to HealthCare.gov enrollment outreach in rural Missouri By Harum Helmy • Dec 18, 2013 Alan Cleaver / flickr Listen Listening... / 3:14 Listen to KBIA's Harum Helmy talk to Kate King, a navigator who's been helping with efforts of spreading awareness about HealthCare.Gov. As an Affordable Care Act navigator, Kate King has been traveling to counties throughout central Missouri spreading awareness of and getting Missourians enrolled in HealthCare.gov. King works with the Central Missouri Area Agency on Aging, which serves a 19-county area, 17 of them rural.

By Harum Helmy • Nov 7, 2013 Alan Cleaver / flickr As the Affordable Care Act's provisions continue to roll out, the law will continue to affect our lives. In Missouri, where the legislature still hasn't expanded Medicaid, 193,000 adults will fall in what's called the "coverage gap." These adults aren't eligible for Missouri's current Medicaid program (which doesn't cover any able-bodied adult without children, no matter how low his or her income), and they make too little money to qualify for any subsidies that can help them pay for insurance premiums through the online health marketplace. Despite the gap, a national report says 40 percent of the 800,000 in Missouri who are uninsured could be eligible for free insurance premiums through HealthCare.gov. That is, of course, if the website would just function properly. Meanwhile, some people are also getting kicked out of their existing insurance plans -- some of which have been canceled for not meeting the basic coverage to be a Qualified Health Plan under the Affordable Care Act.

Check out the 'How much is Obamacare going to cost me?' calculator By Harum Helmy • Sep 27, 2013 401(K) 2013 Starting Oct. 1, anyone looking to purchase health insurance plans can enroll in the new online marketplace. A key component of the Affordable Care Act, the marketplace has been touted as a totally new way to buy insurance. You, the consumer, can go to the marketplace website and do a side-by-side comparison of the benefits, premiums and coverage of different insurance plans. Campaign to raise awareness of new insurance marketplace kicks off By Harum Helmy • Aug 28, 2013 Alan Cleaver / flickr In about one month, a key part of the Affordable Care Act kicks off nationwide. The health insurance marketplace opens for enrollment -- and consumers can shop for an insurance plan from what could be hundreds of options. And this week, a Missouri-wide campaign to raise awareness about the marketplace begins, it's led by the Missouri Foundation for Health. States had the option to run their own marketplaces or let the federal government do it for them. Missouri, along with 26 other states, chose the latter. Two Mo. organizations will hire Affordable Care Act navigators By Harum Helmy • Aug 15, 2013 Alan Cleaver / flickr Primaris Healthcare Business Solutions and the Missouri Alliance of Area Agencies on Aging have been granted federal money to hire people who will help Missouri consumers navigate the new insurance marketplace, set to open for enrollment on Oct. 1. The Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services quietly announced the grantees Thursday. Health care advocates welcome state regulations for ACA marketplace navigators By Harum Helmy • Jul 26, 2013 Alan Cleaver / flickr The Department of Insurance has issued an emergency rule for licensing people who will help Missouri residents explore their insurance options in the new health marketplace. The federal government is regulating these helpers, also called navigators. A bill signed by Gov. Jay Nixon earlier this month added state regulations for the navigators. Insurance industry 'whistleblower' talks health care reform By Harum Helmy • Jul 15, 2013 Alan Cleaver / flickr Listen Listening... / 7:48 Listen to KBIA's Harum Helmy chat with insurance industry 'whistleblower' Wendell Potter on Under the Microscope. For about two decades, Wendell Potter spun carefully crafted public relations messages for Humana and Cigna, the insurance companies where he worked. He recalls convincing consumers that high-deductible insurance plans would be good for everyone; telling them that by paying more, they'd have more skin in the game of their own health. "I frankly just got so disillusioned and, ultimately, disgusted with what I was doing," Potter said. He said through his own research, he knew high-deductible plans were not the best insurance coverage for those with middle-class income. "The median household income in this country is just barely $50,000," Potter said. "A family that's earning $50,000, if they're in a plan with a high deductible, they face bankruptcy or foreclosure [if something happens]. I've talked to a lot of people who have lost their homes and have to declare bankruptcy because they have been in these kinds of plans. They think they have adequate coverage and they don't." In 2008, Potter left the insurance industry and became a consumer advocate. He testified in Congress against high-deductible plans. In 2010, he published a book detailing the ways public-relations practices of the insurance industry affect American health care. Now, Potter writes columns and travels around the country to debunk what he calls are "myths" about the Affordable Care Act. The law imposes stricter rules on insurance companies. They can no longer refuse coverage for consumers who have a pre-existing condition, for example. Companies also have to spend at least 80 percent of every dollar of a consumer's premium for patient care and quality improvements, not profits or administrative costs. On a recent visit to Columbia, Potter sat down with KBIA's Harum Helmy to chat about health care reform and the insurance industry's response to it.

Bill on Nixon's desk could add barrier in enrolling Missourians in ACA marketplace By Harum Helmy • Jul 10, 2013 pinprick / FLICKR Update: Gov. Jay Nixon signed SB 262 into law on Friday, July 12. A bill that was pushed by the state's insurance agents association could create a barrier in getting Missourians enrolled in time for the new online health insurance marketplace – one of the key parts of the health care reform law. Missouri health centers eligible for $3 million in insurance outreach fund By Harum Helmy • May 9, 2013 Tax Credits / Flickr Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius today announced another round of funding to help Americans enroll in the Affordable Care Act's new online health insurance marketplace. About $150 million is now available for community health centers nationwide to hire and train employees who would provide in-person help for the public about their insurance options in the marketplace, which is set to open for enrollment on Oct. 1. Helping Missourians navigate the ACA marketplace will likely be a collaborative effort By Harum Helmy • May 8, 2013 jfcherry / Flickr Listen Listening... / 3:14 Listen here for an interview with Stan Hudson, a health literacy expert and associate director of the Center for Health Policy at MU about the Marketplace Navigators program. Many Missourians will likely need help navigating the Affordable Care Act's new health insurance marketplace that's set to go online by Oct. 1, but one analyst says there might not be enough time or federal funding to train those who can help. The few things we know about Missouri's health insurance marketplace By Harum Helmy • Mar 20, 2013 Libby Burns / KBIA Listen Listening... / 3:14 Listen to a conversation with Health Literacy Missouri's Catina O'Leary about some challenges Missourians might face in the health insurance marketplace, set to be open for enrollment by October. This is the second in a two-part discussion about health literacy and the healthcare reform. Not knowing what the online health insurance marketplace looks like might be problematic for Missourians. As part of the Affordable Care Act, Missouri's uninsured can choose to buy insurance from the state's health exchange come October. The exchange is an online marketplace where anyone who isn't already insured will be able to compare and purchase private insurance plans. Some uninsured Missourians would be eligible for help with the cost, too. Missouri has missed the deadline to create its own marketplace or start a state-federal partnership. So, the federal government is setting it up. The problem is, even though the marketplace is supposed to be open for enrollment in about six months, no one knows what it looks like yet. "We're losing time that could be useful in helping people understand and prepare [for the exchange]," said Catina O'Leary, the director of Health Literacy Missouri, a nonprofit group that's working to make health care topics more understandable for Missourians. "It would be really great if we could manage people's expectations and start training on what they're going to need to know." But here's what we know so far:

Barnsdale Park was holiday central on Saturday as Santa topped off a day of festive activities.
The La Grange Park Chamber of Commerce and local businesses offered crafts and games, an outdoor bonfire and petting zoo, along with refreshments and musical entertainment.
Santa arrived by fire truck and was asssited by village firefighters as he set up to visit with children.
Many of the events were held indoors, including the chance to decorate cookies before eating them. But the fire outdoor allowed people to brave the temperatures while still keeping warm.
Among entertainment was the S.E. Gross Middle School band, performing holiday favorites.
The event follows the previous week's tree lighting ceremony by the village, which included the Park Junior High Forte Singers and Boy Scout Troop 66.
While the holidays are times of joy, there are things that can make it unpleasant. The La Grange Park Fire Department warns that December is a peak month for home fires, especially those caused by candles placed to close to items that can catch fire.
They also warn when buying a fresh cut Christmas tree check to make sure the needles do not fall off when touched, and cut 2 inches from the base of the trunk before placing the tree in the stand. Also keep the tree at least 3 feet away from heat sources and not blocking an exit.

History Written in Water
Gary Kamiya | Photo: Courtesy San Francisco History Center/San Francisco Public Library, Jim Hughes, Winni Wintermeyer, Corbis, Michael Short | March 20, 2014
We profaned the bay, then tried to save it. Now we're learning that it has a mind of its own.
The death of the old Port City transformed San Francisco forever, in many ways for the worse. Yet this figurative sea change was accompanied by a literal one that was entirely positive. Ironically, it was precisely at the moment that San Francisco ceased to be a working port and a food source for large numbers of residents that the people of the Bay Area learned to see the bay as something more than a highway for shipping, a waste of prime real estate, or a dumping ground.
Until 50 years ago, Bay Area residents simply took this natural miracle for granted. As Ariel Rubissow Okamoto and Kathleen M. Wong point out in their 2011 book, Natural History of San Francisco Bay, the bay covered 787 square miles at the time of the gold rush; by 1960, only 548 square miles remained. Incredible as it may now seem, people had virtually no access to the water: Of the bay's 276-mile circumference below the delta, only 4 miles were open to the public. The bay was seen as private, polluted, and unsafe, and the image became self-fulfilling. Raw sewage and industrial waste poured into the water from dozens of unregulated sites. The water stank and was unsafe to swim in, a state of affairs that inspired the musical satirist Tom Lehrer, when he played San Francisco in 1965, to sing, "The breakfast garbage that you throw into the bay, they drink at lunch in San Jose."
The citizen's movement that would change all this was kicked off by three Berkeley women who became alarmed when they observed trucks filled with debris rumbling down to the bay every day. After they learned that the city was planning to fill in several thousand acres of the bay without community input, they decided that they had to act. When leading environmental groups wished them well but offered no help, they started their own group, which would become Save the Bay. Soliciting $1 contributions from ordinary citizens, they got an overwhelming response. In 1965, the state legislature created the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission. The first coastal zone management organization in the nation, BCDC must sign off on everything that goes into the bay. (Most recently the commission put the kibosh on the so-called Google Barge docked at Treasure Island—a landmass of untold mysteries). Save the Bay not only stopped the desecration of San Francisco Bay, but also helped change the mindset that regarded the natural world as fodder for human exploitation. Another sea change had occurred. And the bay, in turn, got much, much cleaner.
Which brings us all the way back to the paradoxical sediment situation of today. To refresh: The loss of gold miner–era silt in the bay has led to two major, and unexpected, problems. First, and most seriously, it has threatened the restoration of the bay's marshes. The wetlands were originally seen as unhealthy swamps standing in the way of progress and were mercilessly filled in: By 1999, only 40,000 of the original 190,000 acres of tidal wetlands remained. Today we know that wetlands are vital to the health of the bay: Not only are they essential to preserving endangered plants and animals, but they are also the first and best line of defense against rising sea levels. In 1999, a coalition of scientists and agencies set a goal of restoring 100,000 acres—among the largest wetlands restoration projects in the nation.
But marshes need sediments, and the sediments created by heedless gold rush miners are no longer there—they've been washed out to sea or are impounded behind upstream dams. Under normal circumstances, marshes are capable of responding to sea level rise, says Robin Grossinger, a senior scientist at the San Francisco Estuary Institute, a bay think tank. They can move inland, and they can grow vertically. "But we've put obstacles in the way of both these things," Grossinger says. "We've built up around the bay so there's not much room for the marshes to move. And will there be enough sediment in the water to allow them to grow?" The answer to that question could decide the fate of many low-lying parts of the Bay Area.
The second problem has less apocalyptic long-term repercussions, but poses a greater short-term threat. As the bay's water becomes clearer, more photosynthesis-enabling sunlight can penetrate it, increasing the amount of nutrients that it carries. It sounds like a positive development, but in this case it isn't. High nutrient levels cause excessive algae growth that can ultimately lead to "dead zones" incapable of supporting fish and other marine creatures. The shallow, tepid south bay has seen a 105 percent increase in algae since 1993, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. If algae blooms continue to increase, sewage plants may have to start reducing the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus (substances that act as fertilizers) they release into the bay, which could cost billions of dollars.
And then there's another roiling controversy over bay-floor sediments. As it turns out, for more than 80 years, mining companies have been extracting vast quantities of sand from the bottom of the bay— the largest mining site is between Angel Island and the San Francisco waterfront—which they use to make concrete. But scientists with the USGS have published a series of papers asserting that the sand mining is contributing to beach loss at Ocean Beach, which is eroding faster than any other site on the California coast. The beach, the scientists say, is slowly being starved of its natural replenishment of bay-borne sand, sand that first found its way to the bay through the ceaseless hydraulic action of those long-dead gold miners. Despite those findings, in 2012 the State Lands Commission, which has jurisdiction over the bay floor, approved an environment review granting two mining companies' request to remove more sand than ever—two million cubic yards a year. Asked about the new research, the executive director of the SLC said that the environmental review had been thorough, that the science was inconclusive, and that the commission had to recommend what was best for the state.
Soon after the SLC's decision, a watchdog organization called the San Francisco Baykeeper filed a lawsuit against the state. "This issue has been kind of overlooked," says Ian Wren, the staff scientist at Baykeeper. "But from Noriega south, the loss of sand on Ocean Beach is noticeable. The edge of San Francisco is being eaten away." Wren says that the underpublicized issue may start to get traction when bills to fix the problem land on city hall's desk. "There's a draft plan to reroute the Great Highway as a result of erosion, and the city will have to foot the bill." If the USGS and Baykeeper scientists are right, sediment loss is not only harming marsh formation—it's also leading to a very real, and potentially very expensive, problem that will one day impact everyone who uses or even looks at our coast.
This final act of the 161-year-old hydraulic mining horror story illustrates that the bay is an astonishingly complex entity. What we do to it does not always have the effect that we think it will. The estuary is a self-regulating system, but only up to a point. Human interventions can be destructive, like the heavy metals and raw sewage that we poured into it for decades, or beneficial, like the water treatment plants that we created. They can also be both at once—like the sediment created by mining.
The fact of the waterfront's unconquerable complexity is grounds for concern: How do we know we'll take care of it properly? The narrative of the human relationship with the bay in the last half century is overwhelmingly one of success, but there are new challenges: emerging contaminants, sea level rise, algae growth, marsh formation. Going forward, we must be as vigilant as the stewards who preceded us. But in a deeper sense, the fact that the bay is still mysterious is profoundly reassuring.
The waters that surround us are an incomparable gift. We have desecrated them and squandered them and covered them up, and we still fight over them. But the knowledge that at any moment, on any hilly street corner, you can look up and see a piece of something blue and moving and bigger than we are is like having a personal mental canoe. Our waterways are one of the reasons that we live here. They define the Bay Area literally, but they also define it in less tangible ways. They moisten our spirit. They remind us that an undiscovered, rippling world waits just downstream. They invite us to push off.

You will end up billed the complete cost of the gender identification scan to deal with our Expert time even though we are struggling to receive a transparent graphic
The XYZ 3D Scanner comes in a Evidently purchaser-specific retail box with a photograph of the baby donning sun shades that's getting scanned (if you have little ones, you understand is is totally unattainable as they can't retain however).
Here's a bit of our record, and we are very pleased with it! – Pancita's Pregnancy Spa & Ultrasound Centre was Started in 2014 by exactly the same group that produced in 1998.

"Great put, would defiantly propose. Jacqui fitted us in at these types of brief discover for an early scan, which was incredible. The provider we received was superb and we can't thanks enough. 5*"
Naturally, I came up with a workaround for this. I discovered a totally free Home windows software known as DeskMirror by Minaware that mirrors the left 50 % of your display screen onto the proper 50 percent. This fashion you'll be able to just scale down the Sense for RealSense window and area it to the remaining and you'll have a digicam feed on the best that isn't thoughts bending.
"Yesterday we had a reassurance scan after a incredibly worrying working day. Diana was Unquestionably astounding with us and manufactured us truly feel peaceful, comforted and energized.
It prices half as much as the very first era 3D Systems Sense I reviewed previously. And when that unit captured the website geometric condition of objects inside a shockingly good way, its shade capturing was wholly useless due to RGB camera with a resolution just 320 x 240 pixels.
- For that clearest 3D or 4D scan, we advocate producing your appointment concerning 26 weeks to 32 weeks of pregnancy. A 3D or 4D ultrasound is The simplest way to get a detailed look at your baby right before They can be born.
When obtaining this package deal, we provide you with a discounted value on return visits in the course of the very same pregnancy. Agenda supplemental appointments whenever you like and pay back ONLY $89.
"Wonderful support by Wonderful girls. Originally we arrived in this article for HCG blood checks and now we are pregnant we have had 2 reassurance scans as we have been slightly anxious. The employees ended up good, wholly set our minds at relaxation and we listened to the baby's heartbeat. Astounding! Unquestionably propose!"
"I had my 12 week reassurance scan currently and I can not fault it. I left experience satisfied and reassured that every little thing was fine. The staff are very welcoming and go through every little thing along with you. I will certainly be coming back yet again afterward in my pregnancy, thank you!"
It's totally computerized and it has no configurations, however it did a very good job in my exams. The software program tries to colour the newly created geometry in a means that blends with the remainder of the texture. This operates for lesser places, but is understandably tougher for much larger holes.
"I went nowadays for an early pregnancy scan, it had been really professional, Jacqui was extremely pleasant and answered each of the inquiries I necessary. I would not be reluctant to go back again for long term pregnancies, highly reccomended."

Counter Strike 2009 Lag,LOSS,Choke Problems Solved !
What is Tickrate?
Valve explains Tickrate as: "During each tick, the server processes incoming user commands, runs a physical simulation step, checks the game rules, and updates all object states. After simulating a tick, the server decides if any client needs a world update and takes a snapshot of the current world state if necessary. A higher tickrate increases the simulation precision, but also requires more CPU power and available bandwidth on both server and client." DONT CONFUSE IT WITH sys_ticrate
What is use of good tickrate ?
Sometimes you may have heard players saying that their bullets dont register or they are framing.Sometimes you may shoot some players behind a player & still able to hit him a headshot.This all happens if u have low ticrate server.
What is tickrate of my server ?
When your server is running, type "sv_maxupdaterate" in console, it will tell you the tickrate of your server.
Commonly used tickrates are 30 or 60 or 101 but it can lie anywhere between 20-100
You must be thinking that if 101 ticrate server gives better performance why doont everyone run 101 tickrate server
Answer is running server on high tickrate costs more resources & bandwidth on both server & client sides
When play on a 30 tickrate server, type 'net_graph 3' in console.
Click Here
As you can see that 6.50 k/s is the bandwidth being used
on a 101 tickrate server bandwidth usage will be much more
Dont waste your time running a server if you dont have adequate bandwidth
To run a good server with 101 tickrate you need 1Mbits/s upload and download bandwidth
How to set tickrate of your server ?
Open you server's cstrike\server.cfg
For 101 Tickrate---
Change these values
sv_minupdaterate 10
sv_minupdaterate 101
sv_minrate 0
sv_maxrate 25000
fps_max 101
sys_ticrate 250
For 60 Tickrate---
Change these values
sv_minupdaterate 10
sv_minupdaterate 60
sv_minrate 0
sv_maxrate 12000
fps_max 101
sys_ticrate 250
For 30 Tickrate---
Change these values
sv_minupdaterate 10
sv_minupdaterate 30
sv_minrate 0
sv_maxrate 7000
fps_max 101
sys_ticrate 250
A simple advice is that you must not install HL Booster.It just screws up server.
We did some research on it and found that it only controls sys_ticrate value in realtime
so if u put sys_ticrate 250 your server will run very fine
If you increase this value above 250 you wont see any effect on Internet but on LAN it will.
NOTE:Achieving 101 tickrate on a server is not possible without Pingboosting. Ping boosting is done on server side
But it can be done only on Linux not on windows.
Where can i change tickrate of server?
Server's Tickrate cant be changed via RCON or any other tool
You need to have access to server console
That was a explanation for Host or Server
Now comes Client or Player
If u play on a 101 tickrate server with settings those of 30 tickrate you wont see any difference
You should always play on these settings...these should be put in config.cfg of your game
cl_cmdrate 101
cl_updaterate 101
rate 25000
cl_interp 0.1
fps_max 101
If u get choke even if you are using these settings, then it is possible that server is running on low tickrate
Try lowering your cl_updaterate to 60 & see if choke is decreased
Do same untill you have 0 choke
That was how to solve choke problem
If u have loss problem,that means there is some packet loss between you and server
This indicate some network connection problem either with your connection or server's
If you are only one who gets loss, it is problem with your connection
I Hope it solves your lag problem to certain extent.

I'm sorry my comment upset you so dearly.
I personally don't use Facebook. I have no practical need for it. Not saying I'm better than someone who does. Let people use what they want.
The fact is this; there's no checks or balances to stop it from happening. How can you prove that an article that was deemed "Fake News" was actually marked by users and not the corporation?
Facebook has already conducted an experiment by manipulating news stories that show up in your feed. Twitter has also dipped their toe in the proverbial water. So what's stopping them from doing that?
Again, this has nothing to do on anyone's stance of "Fake News". My question is simple; What's stopping some Facebook Employee from marking articles that they don't agree with as Fake News? Who's ensuring that only the users dictate this?
I mean, think about it. Say an article is published; the article is discussing a political party member in a negative light. What if the majority of Facebook's shareholders benefit from that particular party member and would benefit in some way from their success? What's stopping them from saying that story is "Fake News"? So when Joe Average see's it in their feed, it's marked as "Fake News" wouldn't you say it'll be ignored or dismissed?
Not saying they would, just a thought.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is requesting public comment on an application for exemption from Stemco regarding a regulation about the location of rear identification lamps and rear clearance lamps.
FMCSA regulations require rear identification lamps and rear clearance lamps to be located "as close as practicable to the top of the vehicle." Stemco is requesting for commercial motor vehicles equipped with the company's TrailerTail aerodynamic device, which is mounted lower than currently allowed, to be exempt from the regulation.
While the TrailerTail aerodynamic device is currently mounted slightly below the roof of the vehicle, Stemco states that this offset prevents the device from delivering the maximum available fuel economy benefit as opposed to mounting it flush with the top of the vehicle, which may block the visibility of the rear identification lamps and rear clearance lamps.
Stemco argues that the alternative location will maintain a level of safety that is equivalent to or greater than what could be achieved without the exemption. In addition to the exemption request, Stemco is petitioning FMCSA to amend the current regulation.
The comment period is scheduled to end July 11.
Comments may be mailed to Docket Management Facility, U.S. Department of Transportation, Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590-0001.

Can a marriage where the woman earns more than the man ever work?
By LAUREN BOOTH
Last updated at 09:58 15 February 2007
My husband, Craig, is an old romantic, so I have every right to feel excited. I know I'm guaranteed the traditional champagne breakfast in bed.
• Craig Darby: Actually, dear, it's hell being a kept man
And when I finally polish off the warmed croissants, it'll be time for my husband to give me my present. Of course, I'm hopeful it'll be thoughtful and expensive enough to take my breath away.
Yet, as I gaze in silence at the antique book, bracelet or ring, I won't be feeling as grateful as perhaps I might.
A voice in my head will be repeating a mantra that I must try extremely hard not to say out loud. 'Gosh I wonder how much all of this cost . . . me.'
You see, I am a Breadwinner Mum, the sole earner in a household of four. So when my beloved hubby spends weeks picking out the perfect gift, regardless of the exorbitant cost, it is - perversely - me who picks up the bill anyway. Does it rankle? Sadly for us, it does.
And I would wager that I am not alone in
that. Hundreds of thousands of women are now the main or sole earners in their relationship.
According to government figures, women now earn more than their husbands or partners in 21 per cent of all couples.
So what, I hear you say. In this enlightened age, why should we care who earns the most - who actually funds the children's piano lessons or who pays for new tyres on the car? Well, my husband cares. And if I'm honest about it, so do I.
I'm not saying this situation is putting our marriage under threat, but it has brought tensions which simply wouldn't exist if the situation was reversed.
According to psychologists (and divorce lawyers) many relationships where the financial burden lies entirely with the wife follow the same pattern.
First, the wife loses respect for her husband, then he begins to feel emasculated, and then sex dwindles to a full stop.
Well, I'm happy to say we're not there yet. I respect what Craig does for his family and he loves me enough to do the washing up when I'm really stressed out.
But many times I have felt simmering resentment when my income has funded bloke things like trips to London to visit his pals, or his 'must-have' tickets to this year's Rugby World Cup.
The flip side, of course, is that Craig also faces the relentless opprobrium of social prejudice which states that men should keep their wives and not be kept. On nights out, it's not uncommon for his cash to run out. Handing money to him at the bar never, ever goes unnoticed.
In hindsight, had either of us had any real idea of the petty daily irritations - let alone the larger social embarrassments - that have come with our arrangement, we might have thought twice about embarking on it.
We set off down this slightly dangerous path three years ago when, like an increasing number of couples, we decided we needed to rethink our work-life balance. Craig - whom I married in 2000 - was writing screenplays by night, and decorating flats by day. I was travelling around the country fulfilling broadcasting and writing commitments.
Even then, my journalism was earning the bulk of our income, but it didn't matter. Money was pooled into our single joint account, Craig simply handing over his wages every Friday, keeping just enough 'for the weekend'. It felt like an even financial partnership, even if it wasn't quite.
Our first child, Alexandra, arrived six years ago. But it was when Holly, our second daughter, was born in 2003 that the cost of childcare became a major issue.
London parents will know all too well the financial agony of paying a childminder more than £1,000 a month to look after their children. It all came out of my wages.
As my income continued to climb, Craig's levelled out because he was called on time and again to be available to drive the girls to and from the childminder's.
Alarmed by the violence we saw almost on a daily basis around our neighbourhood and determined to give our girls a more outdoorsy life, we decided to move to France.
So three years ago, we moved to the Dordogne and took stock of our lives and our income. A short-term plan was devised which would mean that instead of going out to work, Craig could look after the girls whenever I was on a foreign assignment. He was both pleased and irritated by the idea.
He likes being with the girls more than most fathers, but found the thought of managing the home even for a brief while very stressful. His own parents both worked and shared the chores, so being an equal partner wasn't a challenge.
For him to be a partner alone for a chunk of our lives is, however, a big deal. (As for my own parents, well, I certainly don't remember my father lifting a finger to so much as rinse a cup when I was small.)
After we moved, the idea was that Craig would also single-handedly renovate our barn into a five bedroom house. In the long term, we felt that economically this was a good use of his time, because it should add hundreds of thousands onto the value of our property.
But it left us staring at one very pertinent fact - we would be relying solely on my income. So far, so right on.
I was smashing the glass ceiling, Craig was breaking the mould. We (nervously) patted ourselves on the back. After all, we said, it doesn't matter who brings home the bacon. It'll get eaten just the same.
That was the theory. What we didn't bank on, as we sat in the French sunshine doing our sums, were the tensions and surprising pressures that would come with our new roles.
According to relationship expert Dr Gail Saltz, 'having the woman make more money than the man creates an insurmountable problem'.
Saltz believes some women resent being the breadwinner because they 'hold on to the fantasy that having a man support them makes them more feminine'. Hmm, sounds familiar.
Like most young girls, I was brainwashed into believing that one day a prince would whisk me away to a beautiful palace. This didn't quite fit in with my determination to have a career of my own, but the pattern was there for all girls of my generation to see.
Men earn the money, women should play a fulfilling but supporting role. Financially, and in every other way. Now that I was cast in the role of provider, I began to feel an almost unconscious dissatisfaction that this fairytale was not working out at all according to the script.
I remember, for example, one night a couple of years ago when, exhausted after a 15-hour day, I rang home to hear squeals of delight as the girls ran around imploring my husband to tickle them again.
'We've had a great day,' he laughed. 'Been to the aquarium, had lunch at our favourite restaurant. Really nice.' I wasn't proud of my snippy tone that night.
But the problems of having a Breadwinner Mum in the family are not restricted to the woman herself. There is an almost unlimited potential for the man who does not earn to feel emasculated when he is no longer in control of his own finances.
This comes partly from a masculine pride that is hardwired into all men - a competitive urge to win that manifests itself in a desire to be the familial provider.
And society at large is still far more comfortable with the traditional roles. Those outside a relationship like ours seem to glory in making unhelpful comments.
Take the old college friend who drunkenly demanded recently: 'So, mate, how's it feel being a kept man, eh, eh?' I watched uneasily as my husband's shoulders crept up to his ears with rising tension.
The prevailing view - in our so-called enlightened times - remains that men who take a financial back seat (whatever else they may do to care for their families) are little more than freeloaders.
One women's website carried out a survey into how married women feel about being the higher or sole income earner. More than a quarter of high-earning women reported that their friends or family members have said either outright (or hinted) that they perceive their situation as strange or wrong.
Meanwhile, almost a third admitted to being happier with it than their husbands.
The bottom line was this: 35 per cent of respondents wished their partner would find a way to earn more. And who can blame them?
It's not a breeze taking on the serious anxieties that come with being a primary earner. I'm a good sleeper, but on occasion even I get a bad case of the 3am terrors.
Mine are all based around one question: 'What happens about the mortgage, the bills, the future, if I'm suddenly unable to work?'
Another internet survey reflected these fears when it asked breadwinning women what worried them. The majority who responded said they were all terrified of getting laid off: about the mortgage going unpaid, bills spiralling out of control. Thirty eight per cent said they worry about cashflow 'all the time'.
I know that millions of men will howl and say these are the worries generations of fathers and husbands have wrestled with, and there's some truth in that. Except that those men didn't have to do the cooking and cleaning as well.
And here's the rub. While women have gained financial muscle, relations between the sexes have not yet evolved sufficiently to accommodate this shift in the balance of power between alpha women and beta men.
The most frustrating element in my experience is that the maternal breadwinner still ends up doing the lion's share of the work around the home. Not to mention the paperwork, the PE kit, the jabs, organising playdates, and on and on.
Indeed, one of the most intriguing emotional battles in a relationship like mine is over the housework and other domestic chores.
The truth is that when you are a woman and you have been away doing something exciting and fulfilling, you simply don't have the
heart, when you return, to nag a man for failing to empty the dishwasher.
Perhaps a working woman carries an innate guilt that her bloke is at home clearing out the bin while she has left her children with him to go out and enjoy a stimulating career.
I know I overcompensate when I get back from a business trip. I return to a house that is hardly what you might call spotless, and, tired or not, I just roll up my sleeves and get cleaning, doing the homework and so on.
Scientists at the Centre for Research on Families, at the University of Washington, have concluded that the more money the wife makes, the more housework she does in proportion to her husband. In fact, it's not even as equitable as when both partners are working.
'There's an association with housework being woman's work,' says the centre's associate director, Julie Brines. 'Women are not going to compound the tensions by making the husband do more housework.'
Another survey found that 41 per cent of high-earning wives said they still do more than half of the household and parenting duties.
What all this is really touching on are the scores of tiny psychological battles fought every day in the home of a Breadwinner Mum.
As I write these words, Craig comes into my office with a list of grocery shopping for our dinner party tonight. I ask him with a smile: 'What's the best thing about me being the breadwinner right now?' He tucks the £80 I've just handed him into his work shirt and says a single word: 'Nothing.'
He's grumpy about the dreaded pink wallet being opened again so he can dip in his calloused palm.
I remember when I was young watching as my grandad handed my nan her 'wages' out of his pay packet each week. I asked her about it once. 'Well, I work you know, love. This is what I've earned!'
The vast majority of this went on groceries and other essentials. Grandad never, ever would have dared to treat it as a gift or make a joke about it. That money was payment for a job well done. This is a knack of giving and receiving that Craig and I have yet to crack.
When it comes to handing over his weekly 'wages' for his work on the barn, we avoid eye contact wherever possible. It just doesn't feel . . . well, nice.
By not helping financially, he thinks that I feel he's freeloading. Which I don't. Honest.
But if it makes Craig feel uncomfortable coming to me for the grocery money, how will I feel this summer when he presents me with an incredible gift for my 40th birthday present? Yet again I'll swallow the uncomfortable feeling that he's spent so much of my own income on
So, simmering resentment at home for me, pressure from society, plus insecurity for him.
Before you take the plunge, be warned - becoming the family breadwinner could be a one-way ticket to marriage guidance counselling.
And one way or another, you'll end up buying your own roses on Valentine's Day.

I'm not very sure about that. In the first place, is it a book? Almost all of the content comes from previously published magazine articles. (Actually, about all Glass seems to have written are some "in the next section we look at" bridges.) Readable, as most magazine articles are, but long on quotes from interested parties, and short on hard facts or detailed analysis. Computing? While the companies noted in the stories deal with computers in one way or another, the shortcomings are generally those of management, and not technology. Calamities? Chapter one, for example, points out a major failure--but it is a failure of journalists and pundits. Glass points out that the repeated assertion that most software projects fail is based on faulty data; or, rather, valid data from a study that was looking at something else. Chapter two isn't about failures either, it's about turnarounds. Interesting, possibly, but hardly dealing with disasters as such. Chapter three is about failures, at least for the most part. However, it will be very difficult to draw any lessons from the stories therein. Some, in fact, deal with outright theft, rather than any shortcoming in either technology or business. One article does spell the lessons out for us, in point form. Even there, however, the text is not straightforward. So the company leader is arrogant and has a lavish office? When things are going well we are told that is how you succeed. When times get tough, well, obviously (with 20/20 hindsight) those were the seeds of your destruction. Chapter four looks at things in a slightly smaller scale: projects instead of entire companies. (On the other hand, some of these projects are bigger than some of the companies looked at elsewhere.) Continuing in the same vein, though, morals are hard to draw from the story. Some points are indisputable, but they tend to be the business equivalent of motherhood statements. Be customer driven, don't let a project get away from you, hire the right people, know when to get out: these are all good pieces of advice, but not necessarily easy to accomplish. Chapter five discusses some less commercial ventures, with equally ambiguous results. In chapter six, Glass seems to contradict both the subtitle of the book ("Lessons learned from products, projects, and companies that failed") and some of the earlier material by stating that the compilation is intended as a kind of memorial to the dearly departed who are unlikely to leave behind any remains of their passing. This literary "bait and switch" operation may be a little unfair on reviewers and unsuspecting potential readers in bookstores, but if that is the real intention then I suppose he has succeeded. A book is slightly less ephemeral than the periodicals in which the material originally appeared, and the content makes easy bedtime reading for technical managers. However, the likes of "Digital Woes" (cf. BKDGTLWO.RVW) and "Computer Related Risks" (cf. BKCMRLRS.RVW) are in no danger from works of this calibre. copyright Robert M.

Rajasthan cabinet expansion process gains pace, likely by month end
The Rajasthan cabinet expansion process has gathered momentum once again and it is likely to happen by the end of this month.jaipur Updated: Oct 26, 2014 16:05 IST
The Rajasthan cabinet expansion process has gathered momentum once again and it is likely to happen by the end of this month.
The list of probable legislators to get a cabinet berth is ready, but the final nod from the party high command is awaited.
Chief minister Vasundhara Raje is expected to meet the party leadership in Delhi in this regard soon. There is likelihood that she would discuss the expansion plans after the swearing-in ceremony of Haryana chief minister ML Khattar at Chandigarh on Sunday.
Earlier, Raje had visited Delhi before the Maharashtra and Haryana assembly elections to meet the party national leadership, but she could not meet national president Amit Shah as he was busy in poll preparations.
Raje, along with cabinet minister Gulab Chand Kataria and state party president Ashok Parnami, had camped in Delhi for last two days to discuss the expansion with senior leaders.
State party president Ashok Parnami said the expansion is likely to take place soon.
According to sources, cabinet expansion is becoming a tough nut to crack, as the party high command and state leadership differ on some of the names to be included in the list. There is deadlock on the names of Raje detractors Ghanshyam Tiwari and Narpat Singh Rajvi.
According to sources, their names are likely to be included in the list of cabinet ministers, but there can be last minute changes and both the veterans could be dropped on insistence of Raje.
The state government is also in rush for the expansion, as the government would fall short of the constitutionally required mark of at least 12 cabinet ministers in a government.
Water resources minister Sanwar Lal Jat, who was elected as MP, was allowed to continue as minister for six months, but that period would be over in October.
Raje had included 12 ministers in her cabinet formation. While minister Kailash Meghwal was made the assemblyspeaker, Jat was elected as MP.
There is likelihood of about a dozen legislators being inducted into the ministry. Among others, names of Rao Rajendra Singh and Vasudev Devnani are doing the rounds.
