Telangana 85: Say NO to Telangana Talli
39 comments:
Sujai, symbols are an important part of a movement. The idea of a "language mother" is archaic as most people use land or region or culture to rally people (e.g. Bharat mata, das Vaterland).ReplyDelete
Even though I am an atheist, I accept cultural symbols like batkamma, bonalu etc. I also use language like "khuda haafiz". This does not imply adherance to a religion but an acknowledgment of culture.
True Telangana talli looks like a Hindu god. However the proposed state song (Jayajayahe Telangana including a reference to Golconda), the proposed state symbol (Charminar) and the planned bi-lingual state should reinforce a secular image, though not a non-religious one.
symbols are an important part of a movement.
I do understand and promote such symbols to be used in the movement which could continue to be used after formation of Telangana. My objection is to adopting symbols that are deeply religious – especially when it represents only one religion.

telugu thalli-personification of telugu language
telangana thalli-personification of telangana REGION and NOT tg slang
how could shri shri shri harish rao gaaru be so immature to compare both of them???
by the way, dasaradhi krishnamacharyulu once said that nizam used to fine people who spoke in telugu instead of urdu.

now what on earth diod telugu thalli do????

Telangana is a "panchaveni sangam" of Telugu, Urdu, Marathi, Kannada & Hindi. We reject language as the basis of state formation.
The so called "Telugu talli" represents andhra hegemony in the form of unity. The concept was floated by TDP which came to power on the so called Telugu self respect plank.
"by the way, dasaradhi krishnamacharyulu once said that nizam used to fine people who spoke in telugu instead of urdu"
This is a baseless propaganda. Dasaradhi wrote both in Telugu & Urdu.Replies

Even C.Narayana Reddy wrote and spoke both Telugu and Urdu but he had said on several occasions that Telugu was not allowed during Nizam rule. Where was your so called "panchaveni sangam" when Telugu was not allowed prior to 1950s and you were forced to study in Urdu. Who really cares if you believe in Telugu Thalli or not. Why does Telangana Thalli have Bathukamma in her hand when in truth Bathukamma was a festival of some BC castes which did not allowed dalits to participate in it. There are several articles about it and even videos where dalits and other castes compalined. Why did Doras oppose the festival during Nizams times and why do they make use of it now. Bathukamma is just used as a media to attract people.Delete

Dear Above Anonymous,Delete
every one left home, you are very late. You are just asking the walls and chairs. Go home, sleep tight.
If Telangana really is the "panchaveni sangam" of Telugu, Urdu, Marathi, Kannada & Hindi
Why don't you preach this to the Kannadigas, Marathis and ask them to become part of the would be Telangana state?
Lets see how many of them would show their affinity to Telangana.
The defunct Hyderabad state (Not Telangana state) was an amalgam of the above stated languages, after states reorg, people are happy with their current setup (except T region people).
Kannadigas are very happy with Karnataka, as do Marathis with Maharashtra.They have no affinity or any remote relationship to Telangana. The current Telangana movement is only a movement of the disgruntled "Telugu's" belonging to a certain geographical region.
Also ask your parents as to how many times they participated in elections and how many times they voted for TDP?
TDP did certainly come on Telugu unity plank and the people of Telangana voted with their feet and elected it to power (probably in an inebriated state ??).

If not because of Nizam, why was Telangana backward prior to 1950s? Who are Indian muslims and Christians? Did they all migrate from Afghanistan or Iran or middle east? No, they have been forcibly converted. The Hindu religion is the identity behind our history of civilization and the basis of a country called 'India'. Those who say India was born in 1947 ignore unifying cause behind India, a land of varied cultures and languages. Those who ignore history and abandon self-respect for 'political correctness' and 'expediency' will be left with no culture and identity.ReplyDelete
Nizam impoverished the region, imposed Urdu and had army that raped Hindu women. What is the history during Nizam rule that you are proud of? We do not force Muslims or others to follow Hindu songs, traditions etc but that does not mean we should abandon our identity. 'Secular' europe is abandoning multiculturalism, USA is Judeo-christian nation, Israel is Jewish and there is no shame in saying or accepting India is a Hindu nation. Other faiths can live and practice and laws of the country will not be biased against them.

As much as I want a Telangana State, I am affraid of the psedo-seculars and islamists that dominate this region. Given a choice, I think seperate autonomous region with seperate budget and water share, almost like a state within a state kind of arrangement is best for Telangana. BTW, I am originally from Karimnagar.ReplyDelete
I am not referring to the Marathwada Marathis or HK Kannadigas but to those who live in Telangana. There was no migration from Telangana to either of these states after 1956.
Marathis, Kannadigas & other linguistic minorities are fully supporting Telangana movement.
You may not be aware but there is currently a movement in HK for inclusion in 371D. You must have heard of the Vidarbha movement.
TDP, its megalomaniac founder and current scheming leadership may have fooled Telangana people for some time but no longer.
This "panchaveni sangam" that Jai keeps talking of is just a lie. If that was the case why did you have maharashtrian and kannidga movements that wanted their respective linguistic regions (the other districts) included in their states and MORE IMPORTANTLY why didn't the so called Telugu Telanganites not fight and stop it on the ground of the concept of "panchaveni sangam".ReplyDelete
This is just a set of lies. And as a Hindi speaking within the "panchaveni sangam" I can say that conclusively. In fact the telugu telanganites have actively sidelined the others of the so called "panchaveni sangam"
The Hindu religion is the identity behind our history of civilization and the basis of a country called 'India'.
If that is the reason, why is Kashmir Valley, Ladakh, Mizoram, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim is with India?
In all these years, I have seen only one non-Telugu Hyderabad guy oppose Telangana. He ignores the stand of Jadhav, Saxena, Nigam, Melkote, Ekbote etc. but does not reveal his "plans" for starting a "udyamam" for a "new Pondicherry".ReplyDelete
Fantastic Jai,ReplyDelete
At least the united guys are saying that they are "telugu" people and wanted to stay united.
What happened to you people when our beloved old Hyderabad state was being broken. Did any of you raise a voice. And what happened when the other language people were sidelined and discriminated against by Telugu telanganites.
Where were you jai with all your sangamam argument. Now you want to speak in double tongues.
And as far as agitations are concerned you need a lot of jobless people to do that. You think there are many among the ones you choose to attack?
And as far as agitations are concerned you need a lot of jobless people to do that. You think there are many among the ones you choose to attack?
That's speaks very low about you and your understanding of the history. Agitations involve all kinds of people. Do you really think only the jobless people carry out agitations?
Indians carried out agitations to win freedom from British. After India attained Independence, many people participated in many agitations. There was a time many eminent personalities took to streets to fight Emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi. Recently, many people participated in fasts and rallies across India in support of Anna Hazare.
I asked you earlier not to show up on this blog, but you shamelessly show up again and again. That speaks volumes about you and the kind of people we are up against in this Telangana Movement.

not a great deal i suppose.but, the thing here is that both of them are visually challenged and fell in love just by hearing each other's voices.
this is what i call as "manavathvam" which is beyond caste,religion, region, etc

"If that is the reason, why is Kashmir Valley, Ladakh, Mizoram, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim is with India?"
Dude... u do not understand the concept of 'Bharathvarsha' that was the basis and identity behind current Indian nation. India does not mean all states have to be Hindu majority but the whole basis on which India emerged as a nation-state is owing to Hindu tradition, culture and identity. This is despite the fact that northeastern states have steadily been converted by rich evangelical groups and churches, under the guise of charity. To think all Christians and Muslims are descendants of Mughals, Persians, Syrian Christians or Portuguese is perversion of history and destruction of Hindu identity.
The idea of Akhand Bharath includes Pakistan, Bangladesh and South east Asian nations where Buddhism spread.
Yup Sujai,ReplyDelete
That needs a correction. Instead of typing out "as far THIS agitation is concerned" I typed the plural for which I stand corrected.

That's like saying even you were told repeatedly and even today in the parliament that a consensus needs to be reached but you shamelessly (may I add un-democratically) see no need for it. And there are these silly arguments of "panchaveni sangamam" which is utter bullshit and we see it as a tool/concept to further marginalize us - and specially in Hyderabad.
If you cannot live with your own brothers (for all the speeches you give about as separating like brothers) and spew such venom on them you think we Hindis or Marathis or Kannadigas should trust you?

it is useless asking such questions.
I asked my domestic help the same question. "If he you throw us out, how a third party comes here?". His reply was simple "it will not have impact on relations with others".
@Anonymous commenter with a quote from his anonymous "domestic help"ReplyDelete
You will notice the "great Hindi speaking new Pondicherry crusader" does not counter the names I cite. Nor does he come up with the name of a single opinion leader supporting his "GHMC as seperate entity" cause.
Why only andhras (not everyone; only some, mostly those who have moved recently) have problems integrating in Telangana? The answers to this lies within them, not us.
Marwaris, Kannadigas etc. want to prosper together, not dominate. They participate in and contribute to the culture, not insist on imposing their culture. They celebrate अपना वतन, not మన (in fact, మా) ఆంద్రప్రదేశ్
Good comment. Perhaps you should include scare mongerers apart from the "hate monger's".

My god Jai, how true you are. People are forced to either keep silent or support this movement and this includes even media channels for the fear of attacks of TG rowdigitators,
And you expect the andhra spouses to be silent or anti-TG movement. They will get beaten to pulp by their husbands if they speak otherwise.
How ironic that you made this comment where atrocities "against women by men" have married with "atrocities against peace loving people" by KCR and his extortionists.
And thanks hummingboy for the compliment. I will write at least for you. We need to fight this cancer spreading across the nation. Look at Sushma Swaraj yesterday who spoke like a gully leader rather than as the leader of the opposition. She needs to be removed by BJP and made head of some Nizambad or Warangal district.

That is really joke, actually what united guys want is 'Telangana should not get Hyderabad', here are there priorities
1. United Guys want Hyderabad, they every one agrees then they can help to form Telangana state without Hyderabad.
2. Or they want United State so that they continue milking Hyderabad and Telangana as bonus.

you made my day ;)..I used to enjoy your debates with Medam ji and greenstar :)
i think BJP's telangana stand is just a political stunt...they see their future in Telangana than in Andhra hence they support blindly...in next elections if Andhras happen to send few MP's then the stand will change.
I saw a clip in you tube about a groom from nallagonda insisting his andhra bride to say Jai Telangana threatening he will not marry her if she don't ...obviously she says Jai Telangana as she would care more of her marriage than region.

To Arvind and Anonymous,ReplyDelete
I am not sure of sujai's argument on one talli vs another talli but I believe the whole concept of treating nation as a mother/father/god /godess is not proper and ridiculous, let alone treating a region as talli(be it telangana, andhra, dravida nation)
Regarding north east and historc Indian nation, not all territories were considered part of 'akhand hindu bharat',If anything they are treated as 'melecchas' in hinudism,Bhagavat gita explcitly states us to be away from these 'melecchas'.even in our epics the farthest eastern point mentioned is lauhitya(Arunachal ),which was an occupied kingdom and not part of 'bharat-varsha'
The Nagas,Mizos,and other tibeto-burmese tribes were never considered to be part of 'sanatan -dharmic' tradition.
Do we have a state by state analysis of which parts of the seven north east states and tribes were part of 'hindu-india',which emperors ruled all theese states?
The argument that many south-east asian contries were also hindus hence part of 'Hindu Akhand bharat' does not apply.Hindusim spread to south east asia the same way as Islam spread to India,Some by conquest some by trade,but these kingdoms were never considered to be part of 'bharat khand' ,They were friendly kingdoms and that is all.
Many Islamists make the similar argument that India was once part of Islamic 'ummah' by the same logic you gave for 'akhand bharat'
Just because some people were occupied or embraced Hindusim does not mean they are considered part of the country.
Another good example is andaman islands,by what logic do we claim that the tribes of these regions are Indian?
Many of these regions like north east and andaman were added by british to their 'Indian' kingdom purely for administration purposes.
How many Hindus can recognise all the tribes of north-east,how many can even tell apart a north-eastern person from a chinese person?
Going by vedic slokas the entire world can be considered Hindu,beacuse it was bramha who created the entire world right? who created the all the other non-Indians,some other god?
- AnonymousAugust 07, 2011 9:29 PM
first let me narrate a funny story of Moulvi Nasruddin
Once Nasruddin lost his donkey and could not find it. Out of desperation he says that was a bad donkey and he would sell it for one coin even if he found it. But one day he finds the donkey. Now he has to keep his word of selling it for one coin. He takes it to market for selling. He tells buyers donkey is one coin only but I would sell it along with my cat. And price of cat is 1000 coins.
you may be correct about NE states. To my knowledge history of these states is a but obscure. For that matter even Nepal never identifies itself with Bharata varsha.
The blog owner is very intelligent. He clubs a doubtful case with other cases and projects as if all under same category like selling cat and donkey.
Any reader with counter argument is bound to make a mistake of rejecting all in-toto. Now unwitting supporters like you surface and counter others' arguments.
Now where we are? We have to accept Kashmir also not part of India. Hence India seen as OCCUPIER. Right?
Coming back to your point 'akhand bharath' view of some group might be flawed and nothing INDIAN about NE states. But did they ever question their association with India? Did they want to separate from India?
Finally why should anybody discuss them in context of T agitation?
- Jai TelanganaAugust 08, 2011 10:34 AM

Browsing Working papers by Author "Tranæs, Torben"
Now showing items 1-2 of 2
Filges, Trine; Kennes, John; Larsen, Birthe; Tranæs, Torben (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper studies labour market policy in a society where differently gifted individuals can invest in training to further increase their labour market productivity and where the government seeks both effiency and equity. Frictions in the matching process create unemployment and differently skilled workers face different unemployment risks. We show that in such an environment, training programmes that are targeted to the unemployed complement passive transfers (UI benefits), unlike a general training subsidy. Combining passive subsidies with a training subsidy conditioned on the individual being unemployed (for a while) - the typical Active Labour Market Programme - implies a favorable trade-off between equity and efficiency which encourages high spending on training.

Kennes, John; Tranæs, Torben; Larsen, Birthe; Filges, Trine (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We find that the main featues of labor policy across OECD countries can be explained by a simple general equilibrium search model with risk neutral agents and a government that chooses policy to maximize a social welfare function. In equilibrum, policies are chosen to optimal redistribute income from advantaged to disadvantaged workers. A worker can be disadvantaged in the sense that they may have less ability to aquire and utilize skills in the workplace. The model explains why passive benefits tend to fall and active benefits tend to increase during the course of unemployment spell. The model also explains why countries that appear to pursue equity spend more on both active and passive labor market programs. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7648

DevExpress, Bootstrap, MS SQL Server etc. We develop software for Web,
Windows, iOS and Android. We use Amazon EC2 extensively.
We work with customers of varying technical levels. As a
result, we do not have a fixed internal methodology - we are agile by
nature but development managers have flexibility to establish their own
working practices.
Our company environment is informal but professional.
The management structure is flat, there are no internal politics, and
we strive to make our working environment as friendly and relaxed as
GBP 35,000 to GBP 45,000 per annum, depending on skills
and experience.
This is a full time position based at Blueberry HQ in
Digbeth, central Birmingham. Home working is a possibility, although
attendance at the office is preferred.
Work patterns are based around a 37.5 hour working week, typically 9-5

Asus and its Eee PC have always been at the forefront of Netbook development. After all, the company practically invented the market, and virtually owned it for some time, as Dell, HP, and others dithered over whether to get into Netbooks at all.
Asus also makes some of the best Netbooks, with excellent battery life, good keyboards and touchpads, and higher-end models with dual-core CPUs and Nvidia's Ion GPU. One thing Asus hasn't had is a simple, solid Netbook at the magic $299 price. Most of the company's basic models have come in just above that, at $350 or so, while upstarts such as Acer have been able to swoop in and capture entry-level customers.
To put it another way, if you're looking for a Netbook with the standard loadout of an Intel N450 CPU, 1GB of RAM, Windows 7 Starter, and a 160GB hard drive, there's no reason to pay more than $299 for it. That's why we're pleased that the Eee PC 1001P hits all those marks for $299, giving Asus an entry level Netbook that doesn't cost any more than the competition. Even better, it doesn't feel or look especially cheap, and even though it uses a slightly older version of the Asus keyboard and touchpad, it's just as good as any nonpremium Netbook (such as models with HD displays or video accelerator ships) we've used.
The design of this Eee PC is very similar to that of Asus Eee PC 1005PE that we'd consider the line's current flagship (and which was the first Intel Atom N450 Netbook we reviewed). With a slight taper towards the front lip and gently rounded edges on the lid, it's a sleek, mainstream-looking clamshell system.
Instead of the typical glossy black, this specific version has a matte checkerboard pattern on the lid, which gives it a sophisticated look that belies its budget status. If anything, it looks fancier than its more expensive shiny cousins.
Other recent Eee PCs have widely spaced island-style keys, similar to what we saw on the excellent HP Mini 5102. The 1001P, however, has an older Asus keyboard design, which uses flat-topped keys packed closely together. If given a choice, we'd prefer the version on the more expensive Netbooks, but the difference is minimal and largely a matter of personal choice.
If anything, we like the touchpad on this model better than the touchpads on Asus' more expensive Eee PCs. The Eee PC 1005PE has a touchpad made of the same plastic material as the rest of the wristrest, demarcated by a field of tiny, raised dots. It's usable, but not our favorite, and some people don't like the feel of the tiny dots. The 1001P, on the other hand, has a traditional touchpad surface, made of a smooth, slightly resistive material. It's just easier to use, and more reminiscent of touchpads in full-size laptops. Both examples, unfortunately, have a single metallic rocker bar instead of left and right mouse buttons–something that always annoys us.
The 1001P has a typical 10.1-inch display at 1,024×600. For a $299 Netbook, that's fine, but it feels cramped, especially when scrolling down long Web pages or office documents. If you're looking to spend about $100 more, you can find models with 1,366×768 screens, sometimes in a 10-inch display, but more often in an 11-inch one.
This is where the budget price starts to have an impact. Many only slightly more expensive Netbooks support the faster 802.11n Wi-Fi standard, instead of the (still more common) 802.11g speed. You also miss out on Bluetooth, which is especially handy for portable mice.
The current Netbook standard–Intel's 1.66GHz Atom N450 — has an advantage over the older N270 and N280 Atom chips in terms of power efficiency, but doesn't move the needle much in actual performance. That means you'll get much longer battery life than last year's Netbooks, but the performance will feel about the same.
Our standard Netbook advice applies here–systems such as the Eee PC 1001P are fine for basic Web surfing, e-mail, and light multimedia playback, but any real attempt at multitasking will slow the single-core CPU to a crawl, and even basic tasks can seem to stutter at times.
This is especially obvious when you compare a Netbook to a device such as the Apple iPad, which, despite having an even slower CPU, uses software specifically built for it, rather than running the same version of Windows (albeit Win 7 Starter vs. Win 7 Home) meant for mainstream laptops with dual-core CPUs.
Battery life is one of the 1001P's strong points. The system ran our video playback battery drain test for 5 hours and 3 minutes–not the best in the Netbook category, but certainly a respectable showing that will last through a full day or mixed use.
Asus covers its laptops with a standard, one-year, parts-and-labor warranty, and it offers online Web-based help and a toll-free phone number. The company's confusing mix of support Web sites is a bit of a mess, but after digging around on three different related support subsites, we did manage to finally dig up the U.S. 24-7 toll-free support number, which is 888-678-3688

Fox News' Fox Nation site has pulled a post in which Ann Coulter jokingly called for Meghan McCain to be murdered.
Coulter facetiously recommended the murder of her fellow political pundit in the post published Wednesday. Fox News did not immediately respond to an inquiry from TheWrap about the post's removal or whether it was initially vetted.
"MSNBC's Martin Bashir suggested that Republican senators need to have a member of their families killed for them to support the Democrats' gun proposals. (Let's start with Meghan McCain!)" Coulter wrote.
As New York's Daily Intelligencer noted, Bashir didn't actually call for anyone to be killed. But that contention was quickly overshadowed by the comment about McCain, a past critic of Coulter's.
McCain took to Twitter early Thursday to respond to Coulter.
"Apparently Ann Coulter made a joke about me being killed in a recent column. I should expect nothing less but disgusted regardless," she wrote in one tweet.
"My father is a very famous politician. My family gets a lot of threats. Joking about me being killed really isn't funny or appropriate," McCain added.
She also wrote: "A little perspective this morning. People like Ann Coulter are part of the past and only live to spread hate and negativity. I literally couldn't imagine living a life that seems so void of love, compassion, and perspective. Basically I get to wake up every day wanting to make this world a better place and people like her want to make it a worse place. I feel blessed to have not grown to be a person like that."
Meghan McCain's mother, Cindy McCain, added, "Ann Coulter, have one of your family members threatened. See how you feel!"

Fighting malaria in the remote reaches of Cambodia
Clip: 01/12/2019 | 7m 26s
Malaria causes nearly half a million deaths worldwide every year. Ninety percent of them are in sub-Saharan Africa, where poor infrastructure limits delivery of drugs. But now there is worry that those drugs are losing effectiveness as disease strains become resistant. Special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro reports from Cambodia, where scientists are researching and tracking new outbreaks.

Scholars of the U.S. House disagree over the importance of political parties in organizing the legislative process. On the one hand, non-partisan theories stress how congressional organization serves members' non-partisan goals. On the other hand, partisan theories argue that the House is organized to serve the collective interests of the majority party. This book advances a partisan theory and presents a series of empirical tests of that theory's predictions (pitted against others). The evidence demonstrates that the majority party seizes agenda control at nearly every stage of the legislative process in order to prevent bills that the party dislikes from reaching the floor.Read more
- Was the first comprehensive analysis of who wins on final passage votes in the U.S. House since Reconstruction
- Was the first comprehensive analysis of the direction (left or right) that bills reaching final passage votes propose to move policy in the post-Reconstruction U.S. House
- Features extensive range of quantitative evidence in support of the agenda control theory
Reviews & endorsements
"In this follow up to their previous work on congressional parties, Cox and McCubbins have made a major contribution to the scientific understanding of Congress. The theoretical argument is tightly reasoned and persuasive, and the evidence is extensive and convincing. Setting the Agenda will be widely adopted in courses and will shape the research agendas of other scholars for years to come." David Rohde, Michigan State UniversitySee more reviews
"This is a majestic book on Congress. Cox and McCubbins provide a new approach to the most important questions in the field: Why is Congress organized as it is? What is the role of parties in Congress? What do congressional leaders do? What does the Rules Committee do? Moreover, this book seeks to reinterpret critical moments in congressional history, such as the Reed Rules in 1890 and the era of the so-called "textbook Congress" of the mid-twentieth century. This book succeeds on every dimension. Given the controversies in this literature, it will be read by every student of Congress." Barry Weingast, Stanford University
"Setting the Agenda is a remarkable achievement. It responds with impressive historical sweep to more than a decade of research on parties in Congress, and it significantly advances our theoretical understanding of why parties matter. This work will itself set the agenda for scholarship on Congress and its parties in the years to come." Sarah Binder, George Washington University
"Another Cox and McCubbins masterpiece. Building on the theory in Legislative Leviathan of why parties form, Setting the Agenda explains why and how parties matter. By controlling the agenda party leaders can stop policies their members do not like and can ensure party discipline by preventing votes on issues on which their members have conflicting opinions. This has implications beyond the US Congress, for understanding politics and policy-making in parliaments throughout the democratic world." Simon Hix, London School of Economics and Political Science
"Cox and McCubbins make a powerful case for viewing agenda control as a persistent and fundamental dimension of party influence in the modern U.S. Congress. Even readers who may not be persuaded that this mode of analysis captures the full range of contributions parties and leaders make to congressional politics will benefit from a close reading of this study." – Randall Strahan, Emory University

China Isn't Saying Who, But They Would Very Much Like Someone to Caaaaaalm Down
China's president, Xi Jinping, said Sunday that "no one should be allowed to throw a region and even the whole world into chaos for selfish gain," obviously (but not directly) referring to North Korea's latest round of saber-rattling that has put South Koreans and the United States on high alert. North Korea is looking to provoke other countries enough that they are given further aid and an end to sanctions against the isolated, despotic country, while observers become worried that it might launch a new missile this week.
China, an ally of the DPRK, has been pretty much quiet on the recent stirrings of its neighbor, giving all the more weight to Xi Jinping's declaration that the situation is of "grave concern." China is caught in the uneasy position of either working with North Korea to quiet down its threats, or dealing with a larger American presence in the Pacific, a long-time goal of the Obama administration.
China has asked North Korea to protect diplomats in Pyongyang, after it told them on Wednesday that their safety "could not be guaranteed."
From the comments made by its president, it looks like China will play the role of the sober-minded friend who stands between a hothead and the gigantic army that is about to beat him up.

The ESPYs coming into their own
I took a stab at watching the ESPYs (ESPN's annual sports award show—I think it stands for Everybody Sports People Yay) last night. I made it to the 2:25 point, but with no end in sight and a late DVR start, I had to give up. The ESPYS give out awards like "best team" (New Orleans Saints) and "best moment" (Landon Donovan's game-winning goal for USA versus Algeria in the World Cup), but they also have a bunch of "most inspiring little league moment" type awards that guarantee you cry. This year, ESPN made a super wise decision handing the show over to Seth Myers who booked all his SNL pals to do skits throughout the show. I think I enjoyed the ESPYs so much this year because of Myers. He never took it too seriously, making Tiger Woods the butt of many jokes, and he looked fantastic in his tux. I hope the film and TV award show people were watching—Seth Myers needs to host the Golden Globes. He did pass on a "most likely to go home with Ashley Greene" joke, but I'll do it for him. The "most likely to go home with Ashley Greene" award goes to…tennis pro John Isner!
The ESPYs have turned into a pretty big industry event. The show was held at the Nokia Theater in downtown LA, and the celebrities were more numerous than ever and the profiles are steadily getting bigger. Will Ferrell turned up to support Myers, as did Andy Samberg, and in the night's best bit hand's down, Paul Rudd and Steve Carrell did a taped send-up of "The Decision", Lebron James's one-hour tribute to murdering the city of Cleveland. Then there were the non-comedians, Samuel L. Jackson, Zac Efron, January Jones, and Jacek's favorite model Brooklyn Decker. Of course, the tryhards were out in full force as well. Amber Rose was way overdressed in a bright yellow gown, Stephen Baldwin somehow got invited, and Ashley Greene posed so hard she looked like she was on the verge of a nose bleed all night. At least Ashley's dress was nice. The fit wasn't the best, but the dress was a solid choice.
Still, if ESPN really wants to make the ESPYs a real-deal award show, they're going to have to cut the run time. The Oscars can go three-plus hours because it's The Oscars, but the Everybody Sports People Yay awards shouldn't last more than two hours.
The Decision spoof with Rudd and Carrell:

I have redrafted the problem so as to be conceptually simpler.
I have two calsses, a main class and resources class.
public class Main { private static Resources resource = new Resources(); public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Program initiating"); resource.add(1); System.out.println(resource.Queue); } }
public class Resources { public int Queue; public boolean status; public Resources() { Queue = 0; status = false; } public void add(int x) { System.out.println("y is \t" + "Queue here is "); int y = x + 3; while (y<20) { y++; Queue++; System.out.println(y + "\t" + Queue + "\t"); } //return y; } }
I want to see the Queue variable in the resources class being changed as it loops. However i would like to do this by calling the Queue variable in the Resources class from the main class. Currently, when i do this (through System.out.println(resource.Queue); in the Main class), i am only being returned with the final number in Queue after all the loop has been done.
Is there a way to implement this from the main class?

Selecting bearing unit designs and variants
The SKF ball bearing unit assortment is extensive. It includes three housing main shapes with a choice of five different materials and a wide variety of insert bearings that can be locked onto the shaft in different ways (→ Locking methods). The housing materials are:
grey cast iron
- composite
- pressed steel
- composite for the SKF Food Line
stainless steel
Because of their design, each ball bearing unit exhibits characteristic features that make it more or less suitable for a specific application.
Since, in many cases, several factors have to be considered when selecting a suitable ball bearing unit, there is no way to provide a list of general rules. However, important factors that should be considered include:
- locking method
- loads (magnitude and direction)
sealing solution
- operating temperature
- speeds
lubrication: relubricable or relubrication-free unit
Keep in mind that the total cost of a bearing arrangement and inventory considerations could also influence the final choice.

This contract was drafted in 1876 by Headmistress Eupraxia Mole on behalf of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in regards to Peeves. This contract was created as a response to a three day siege on the castle by Peeves, who was angered by an attempt made to contain him by Rancorous Carpe. By the terms of the contract, Peeves agreed to stop his relentless, murderous attack on the castle's population and, presumably, to surrender the weapons he had obtained. In return, Peeves was granted a weekly swim in the ground floor boy's lavatory, free choice of the school's stale bread for "throwing purposes", as well as a custom-made hat by Madam Bonhabille. Peeves agreed to these terms and ceased his assault, allowing school life to continue.[1]

Authorities say they're monitoring two dozen pilot whales that swam into shallow waters off southwest Florida.
Officials with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Fisheries Service say they counted 24 pilot whales Sunday afternoon in a shallow area off Naples.
NOAA regional stranding coordinator Blair Mase says three whales beached themselves temporarily but were able swim out of Gordon Pass with the tides along with the other whales.
Mase says biologists are monitoring 20 whales that had gathered just north of the pass and four others swimming farther offshore.
In early December, more than 50 pilot whales stranded in Everglades National Park. Seven died and four were euthanized before the rest apparently swam back into deeper waters.
The pilot whale is a common species involved in mass strandings.

Lawsuit Claims Pilot Shared Explicit Photos of Flight Attendant Online
A new lawsuit filed in Texas on Thursday accuses a United Airlines pilot of posting nude images online of a flight attendant he once dated and United did nothing about it according to a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The lawsuit claims that the United pilot - Mark Uhlenbrock - "frequently" shared several sexually explicit photos of a ex-girlfriend he once dated across several websites. Uhlenbrock also included identifying information about the woman, including her name and the airport she was based out of.
According to a report in McClatchy, the pilot would often comment on his postings with things like "look at her when you fly!" and that she was a "new reason to 'Fly the Friendly Skies.'"
"Employers have an obligation to take steps to stop sexual harassment in the workplace when they learn it is occurring through cyber-bullying via the internet and social media," said Philip Moss, a trial attorney in the EEOC's San Antonio Field Office. "When employers fail to take action, they fail their workers and enable the harassment to continue."
According to the lawsuit, the unidentified woman and Uhlenbrock had been in a consensual relationship between 2002 and 2006. The woman allegedly allowed the man to take the intimate photos and videos which eventually ended up on websites.
It wasn't until 2006 that a male gate agent told her that he had spotted nude photos of her on a website for "swingers" and that he believed he had been chatting with her online where she sent him even more nude images.
That's when the woman realized the photos were coming from her ex-boyfriend and the private images had been secretly been shared by him.
It was around this time the woman says she broke up with Uhlenbrock. However, the photos continued to follow her around for the next decade as the pilot "continued to regularly post sexually explicit photos, videos, and stories" about her online, the lawsuit said.
"United was aware of the intimate details of how its pilot was harassing its flight attendant, but took no responsibility to put a stop to it," said EEOC Supervisory Trial Attorney Eduardo Juarez. "As a result, over a period of many years, the flight attendant had to work every day in fear of humiliation if a co-worker or customer recognized her from the pilot's postings."
In a statement provided by United to McClatchy, the airline said they do not tolerate sexual harassment in the workplace.
"We have reviewed the allegations in the complaint and disagree with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's description of the situation. United does not tolerate sexual harassment in the workplace and will vigorously defend against this case."

With global bee populations shrinking drastically, designer Karen Ingham's decided our winged pollinating friends need all the help they can get. Enter the Pollinator Frock, a garment doused in a nectar-like solution that's designed to help foraging bees.
Here's how Ingham describes the project:
The Pollinator Frocks Project is a limited edition collection of clothing based on scanning electron microscopy images of plant pollen grains linked to endangered pollinators. These digitally enhanced images form the basis for a range of striking and unusual printed fabrics, which act as 'wearable gardens'. The fabrics will be treated with pollinator food sources that replicate nectar, which will be specially coated onto the fabric prior to cut and assemble as 'pollinator frocks' (loose fitting unisex clothing). Working with technologists at the Welsh Centre for Printing and Coating research is also underway that looks at olfactory attractants and iridescent coatings that mimic the way insects view flowers. The designs consist of 'day-wear' for insects such as bees and butterflies and 'evening-wear' for moths. In the urban environment where garden space is limited and nectar rich plants rare, the clothing can be hung out as clothes are hung on a washing line, to act as an attractant to pollinators.

One of the world's biggest cities is bursting at the seams with energy, culture, great food and enough surreality to keep it endlessly fascinating
Author Joe Keohane Photography Holly Wilmeth
MEXICO CITY, a.k.a. "El Monstruo." The French poet André Breton called it the most surreal place on earth, while writer Salvador Novo said you don't live in Mexico City, you merely practice it. For generations, writers, wanderers and musicians have flocked here from around the world, drawn by the city's mad improvisational energy and deep culture, its freewheeling lifestyle and seeming lack of any organizing principle.
Formerly Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital, Mexico City still suffers from a reputation earned in the later years of the past century, but the city known by the roughly 20 million residents in its metro area as "D.F.," for Distrito Federal (akin to D.C. in the U.S.), is booming. Real estate prices are rising; the film, publishing and music industries are among the strongest in the Spanish-speaking world; and a new mayoral administration has launched a slew of programs to cut smog, improve mass transit and enhance public safety, making it easier to enjoy the city's 160 world-class museums, countless acres of beautiful parks and some of the best food going.
An endlessly surprising, utterly fascinating mix of the sublime and the surreal, D.F. is beloved by its people, known as Chilangos. Come here and they'll squander no opportunity to tell you about it, argue about it, sing its praises. And here's the thing: After a few days, you will too.

I noticed that the last three "Three Perfect Days" articles are not available in pdf format (the last one was Stockholm). I do have the Hemispheres iPad app, but I don't usually walk around foreign cities with my iPad in my hand. It's nice for reading, but not for sightseeing. Nor do I have international data roaming plans that permit me to pull up the web based versions while traveling overseas.
Could I convince you to continue the practice of posting the pdf versions in addition to tall the other dissemination?
I really love the articles and have followed the recommendations of many of your Three Perfect Days articles — with a printed copy in my hands!

GLEN ELLYN – The College of DuPage Board of Trustees appropriated $30 million in reserve funds at its June 26 meeting for construction of a new instructional building.
The building will be on the west campus and is estimated to be 75,000 to 100,000 square feet, according to a news release from the college.
Though there are no specifications yet, the preliminary concept includes a large number of 35-seat classrooms and a small number of 25-seat classrooms. The building would also include two 50-seat science classrooms, four 25-seat computer classrooms and a 25-seat computer lab.
Additional spaces expected to be included in the proposal are offices for two associate deans and 15 faculty members, an adjunct faculty work center, a student commons area, a multi-purpose room and a food option, according to board documents. There will also be an open space for future development.
There is no timeline for the start – or completion – of the project. Vice President for Marketing and Communications Joe Moore said the board will receive input from faculty and administrators to determine specific plans for the new building, including what classes will be placed there.
The board set aside $33 million in reserves at its March 20 meeting for the potential construction of such a facility, board documents stated. The money from the college being spent on the project will come from its reserve fund, rather than the $168 million referendum passed by voters in November 2010, which has been used to fund many college construction projects in recent years.
The $30 million from the college is expected to be supplemented by $20 million from the state, for a total project cost of $50 million. In the event the state does not appropriate additional funds, the board would re-examine the proposal.
"We would then revisit the project and see if we would need to scale the project down while still meeting our educational needs," Moore said.
The project is being considered due to larger class sizes resulting from an increase in enrollment, according to Moore. In the spring 2014 semester, the College of DuPage had an enrollment of 28,000, he said.
Moore estimated some buildings were at more than 90 percent capacity between the college's peak hours of 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The potential for future increased enrollment numbers is being considered in the proposal.
"We believe this new building would accommodate continued growth," Moore said.
The Board of Trustees approved the funding of the project by a 6-1 vote, with Trustee Kathy Hamilton providing the lone dissenting voice.
Hamilton wanted more concrete numbers on how many students the building would accommodate and how administrators could be sure enrollment would continue to increase.
"For me, this is not enough information for $30 million," Hamilton said at the meeting.
Hamilton also suggested the college rent a space for additional classes.
Trustee Kim Savage said it would be better to start plans on a building now, rather than waiting until enrollment numbers actually begin to rise.
"If we wait long enough until we actually need it, we'll be in a hard place to get it done," she said at the meeting.

December 29 – Happy Birthday Frank Delahanty
Over the years, there have been several Yankee players who had brothers who were also big leaguers. The great Yankee Clipper, Joe DiMaggio had siblings Dom and Vince. Matty and Felipe Alou were Yankee teammates for a while when their younger brother Jesus was also playing in the Majors. Clete Boyer's older brothers Ken and Cloyd preceded the good-fielding Yankee third baseman to the big leagues. But no player on the franchise's all-time roster could top long-ago Yankee outfielder Frank Delahanty when it came to baseball-playing brothers.
James and Bridget Delahanty immigrated to America from Ireland in 1865, the same year the US Civil War ended. The couple settled in Cleveland and while James took on a variety of jobs, his wife turned their home into a boarding house. They lost their first child in infancy, but the second, a boy named Edward James would grow up to become one of baseball's first great sluggers and a Hall of Famer. Their next three boys, Tom, Joe and Jim would also become big leaguers as would their youngest, Frank, who would be nicknamed Pudgie.
The youngest Delahanty made his Yankee (actually Highlander) debut in 1905, when he was just 22-years-old. The following season, he became New York's fourth outfielder, starting 92 games and setting a career high with 41 RBIs. That '06 Highlander team won 90 games and finished second in the American League. Manager Clark Griffith thought his team could win the Pennant the following year if he could improve his starting rotation. In an effort to do so, Frank Delahanty was traded to Cleveland for former twenty-game-winner Earl Moore.
Both Delahanty and Moore were complete flops with their new teams in 1907 and by July of 1908, Delahanty found himself back with the Highlanders. He became one of the team's better hitters during the second half of that season but instead of re-signing with New York, he jumped to the Buffalo Buffeds in the upstart Federal League. What are Buffeds?
Delahanty shares his December 29th birthday with this former Yankee pitcher, this former Yankee first baseman and this other former Yankee first baseman.

Laura and Anna found Kitten in the middle of 29 Palms Hwy. So much in the middle, that the four cars before them had to straddle him to avoid making kitten roadkill. Laura risked her life to run into the hwy and save him – but unfortunately by then he had already suffered enough injuries that the local shelter said that if they took him, he would have to be put down.
Thinking that there is nothing that can't be solved by throwing a little cash at it, is where I came in. (It never fails that whenever I'm almost down to zero in my bank account, that a new stranded animal shows up and I start spending money on vet bills like other people spend on shoes) See the stitches under his chin? All the skin there had to be pulled back up and re-fastened, he has a broken leg and tail, and lost the pad off of one of his rear feet.
Not that that we need another animal in the house – we already have Poppy the dog, Emmett's two beetles named Billy and Sam, the Tortoise named Rosemary Desert Willow, the unnamed pigeon – and now we have a kitten. I'm not a cat person but really have to admit that kitten totally rocks. He is resilient, gregarious, affectionate, voracious and better then an alarm clock at 6:30 AM.

TORONTO - Kyle Quinlan only realized how much he loved football once it was taken away.
After being charged with assault following a September 2011 incident at a campus bar, the McMaster Marauders quarterback rededicated himself when he returned from a three-game suspension.
That new-found focus helped Quinlan propel his team to not only last year's Vanier Cup title, but to the cusp of winning a second championship.
"Anytime you're missing out on games, I think regardless of the circumstance, you realize how important the game really is," the fifth-year pivot said this week as the Marauders prepared to meet the Laval Rouge et Or in Friday's rematch of last year's 41-38 double-overtime victory. "Being forced to watch a game from the sidelines ... you realize how much you love being in there and how much the game really means to you.
"That's something that definitely drove me going forward all through last year, through the off-season, through this season."
The incident following a loss to Western was a watershed moment for both Quinlan and the Marauders.
The team went 3-0 without its starting quarterback and haven't looked back since, going on a record-breaking 21-game CIS winning streak that included the school's first Vanier Cup.
McMaster head coach Stefan Ptaszek says Quinlan returned from suspension with the burden of having let his teammates down. It was a feeling the product of South Woodslee, Ont., never wanted to experience again.
"He made a mistake that probably a lot of university students make in their growing up (but) he did it front of (the media) and at the expense of his entire locker-room. To have those stakes meant he was held to a higher level of accountability," Ptaszek said. "Football is not a right and I don't think most 20 year olds understand that.
"He knows it's a privilege and this may be his last football game ever and he's one of the few kids in their five years that hasn't wasted many days."
Quinlan was charged with two counts of assaulting an officer and one count of assault but eventually pleaded guilty to causing a disturbance and was given a one-year conditional sentence.
He was supported by coaches and teammates throughout the process, who said the incident was completely out of character.
"(In a) controversial situation to be involved in, to have a guy like coach Ptaszek stick his neck out there for me was saying a lot," Quinlan said. "He really backs up his talk and he truly is a players' coach and he's going to put his players before himself."
McMaster players, meanwhile, took notice of a change when their undisputed leader returned.
"He just came back with bigger passion and bigger drive than I've seen any player with in sports. It was unbelievable," Marauders receiver Robert Babic said. "You could just tell in his demeanour and his style of play. He was focused to another level and he really wanted to prove to the league and to us that he's all in."
Added defensive lineman Ben D'Aguilar: "It might have humbled him a little bit and made him work a lot harder than before to make people realize he's a good kid."
Quinlan, who was named the OUA's most valuable player in 2012 and set a conference record by completing 69 per cent of his passes for 2,457 yards, led the nation with 19 touchdowns and two interceptions.
In last week's Mitchell Bowl against Calgary, Quinlan was named MVP after throwing for 412 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for three other scores in a 45-4 whitewash of the Dinos.
Friday's championship game against Laval at Rogers Centre will be Quinlan's finale in Canadian university football. Whether or not he gets a chance to play at the next level is another question entirely.
Quinlan was invited to Hamilton Tiger-Cats training camp in 2011 and spent time with the Montreal Alouettes this pre-season before returning to McMaster.
Former Ottawa Gee-Gees quarterback Brad Sinopoli, the third-stringer for the Calgary Stampeders, was the only Canadian pivot on a CFL roster in 2012.
The reality is that quarterbacks from north of the border take longer to develop and don't count as part of the import ratio, but Ptaszek, who played in the CFL with three teams, says if anyone deserves a shot it's Quinlan.
"The CFL fundamentally has said based on their rules that they don't want Canadian quarterbacks. I would never have played receiver in the CFL ever if receivers didn't count towards the Canadian content," Ptaszek said. "I would have been cut inside five minutes but they are counted towards the Canadian content so I did get to play. Why they don't do that for the quarterback position? I don't know.
"They need to change that rule ... or one of the best players who has ever played in CIS university sport has nowhere to go from here."
Laval head coach Glen Constantin, whose team advanced to its third straight Vanier Cup with a 42-7 victory over the Acadia Axemen in last week's Uteck Bowl, has seen Quinlan up close and agrees.
"He runs to pass and not just to run to get yards. He's got a quick release, which often CFL coaches don't think of Canadian quarterbacks having," Constantin said. "I think he's been exposed to a good offensive system with good coaches. He understands structures of defences and coverages and I think he deserves a shot."
Quinlan, who is the favourite for the Hec Crighton trophy as the MVP of CIS football, desperately wants to play at the next level.
"This is a game that I've played my whole life — since Grade 7 I've been playing football," he said. "It's a game that I love and it's a game that I definitely would love to stay involved with as long as I can."
Friday's game against Laval could be his last chance to show CFL teams what he can do.
"When you play on a big stage like this, there's definitely some more eyes on you. It's different than playing just a regular-season game within the OUA or the Quebec conference," Quinlan said. "I know there's going to be eyes on me and there were last year as well."
Ptaszek says that whatever the outcome against the Rouge et Or, Quinlan's name will be mentioned along with the greats of Canadian university football.
"His five years is set in stone. Nothing he can do on Friday night ... would change anybody's opinion of what a great player he is," Ptaszek said. "He's got too much history of great football."

Russian official: Putin foe targeted for probe
MOSCOW (AP) — The spokesman for Russia's chief investigative body says that a criminal probe of a Russian opposition leader was triggered by his fierce public stance, which authorities previously denied.
Lawyer and blogger Alexei Navalny exposed official corruption and spearheaded a series of massive protests in Moscow against Putin's return to the presidency in 2011 and 2012. Navalny, 36, goes on trial on Wednesday on charges of leading an organized crime group that stole timber worth 16 million rubles (about $500,000).
In an interview published Friday in Izvestia daily, Vladimir Markin, spokesman for the Investigative Committee, said investigators would not have looked into a "banal theft" if that wasn't for Navalny's reports alleging government corruption.
"If a person tries hard to attract attention, or if I can put it, teases authorities — 'look at me, I'm so good compared to everyone else' — well, then one gets more interested in his past and the process of exposing him naturally gets faster," Markin said.
The Investigative Committee ran a probe into Navalny's alleged embezzlement from a state-owned timber company in the Kirov region from 2011 to May 2012, when the case was closed. It was reopened a few months later after the agency's chief publicly harangued investigators for closing that probe.
The Investigative Committee works only with high-profile cases of major violent and economic crimes. The case like Navalny's would normally be handled by local authorities.
Navalny has denied the charges, calling them politically motivated.
In a blog post reacting to Markin's interview, Navalny said the investigator was confused about what the actual charge is. Markin mentioned that Navalny "forced" the timber firm to sell its produce at an artificially low price while the lawyer is charged with stealing the timber.
"This shows that they themselves are confused about how exactly the Investigative Committee is framing the case," Navalny said.
