The Most Demanded Social & Political Product: Lokpal
Why Lokpal: The country is today ridden by corruption. Whether it be routine transactions that involve the government or services and amenities and benefits provided through the public exchequer, the ordinary citizen pays a price daily in terms of harassment, delays, poor quality, absent infrastructure and in-equal access. What we need is an effective and independent institutional mechanism for tackling the malaise of corruption in this country which we haven't. Lokpal has played an effective role in checking corruption and wrong-doing in Scandinavian and other nations. The Administrative Reforms Commission (ARC) set up in 1966 recommended the constitution of two-tier machinery - Lokpal at the Centre, and Lokayukta(s) in the states. What if head of party and head of the government or organization do corruption in a organized manner? To support this many visible examples are in public domain for example many CMs, CJI, top most IAS, babus are under cloud.
History: The Lokpal Bill introduced in 4th Lok Sabha in 1969 but could not get through in the Rajya Sabha, subsequently, Lokpal bills were introduced in 1971, 1977, 1985, 1989, 1996, 1998, 2001, 2005 and in 2008, yet not passed and pending since 42 years. A big hue and cry about it is going on nowadays.
Lokpal as social and political product: it was an invisible issue before April 2011 like other bills for example Womens reservation. Baba Ramdeo founded Bharat Swabhiman trust on
To achieve desired results he applied tools, technology, tricks and concepts of ICT and marketing for these social issues like any commercial product. By using modern social media and applying marketing fundamentals, he made these issues visible and important in pubic eye in a very short span of 2 years.
In the mean time assessing the visibility of the issues, Anna team brought the solution in the form of Lokpal to curb corruption. His Gandhian style and austere life is his great strength. He has a good team of experienced and learned people of different fields. Hence his coterie is now a civil cabinet at national level to market social products. He sat on Jantar Mantar on 4th April to have a strong and capable lokpal to provide medicine to a country-wide problem of corruption. Demand was already created over the years by all level of growing corruptions and Baba added salt to it by his Bharat Swabhiman trust. Anna tried to match this huge social demand by supplying its solution in the form of Lokpal. Disappointed citizens purchased this social product and in exchange giving unexpected support. Naturally this annoyed Baba and he showed it in his style on Bhusons inclusion issue.
The opposition by the powerhouse (GoI) making the things easy for Anna team. The opposition on the role of civil society in policy making is a big issue now. In almost all fields, civil societies are assisting and working in various ways but its first-time entry in policy enactment area has raised eye-brows of political actors. They are feeling this incident as an intrusion. During my study in
Theoretically speaking, in any policy making the first step is constituency building that is demand generation for the issue or making it visible and popular. Lokpal is now talk of the town all over the country and abroad. So its first step is 100% successful. The second step is drafting the bill document. Now a parallel draft of civil society is in public domain. If government will bring any weak and ineffective bill, it will be compared and will expose the intension for fighting the corruption. So, enacting a weak and showy lokpal bill prove counterproductive to the party in government.
How it is the best social and political product: Citizens are facing corruption everyday in one form or other. Anna is now a symbolic hope for all sections of society including politicians and political parties. On political lines one can't say anything but in personal capacity mostly are with team Anna. Anna is trying to brand his social product Lokpal to get the emotional attachment of citizens. For this, he is saying it is a movement to liberate the country from corruption like Gandhiji's movement of freeing country form British rule. We can say one more similarity in this liberation movement. Anna represents Naram Dal and Baba Garam Dal. Swabhiman site home page mentions in priceless thoughts about revolutionaries.
I hope this social marketing strategy through branding will bring the desired result in day to come as it a great social potent product.
Political product: States and Parliament elections are contested on some issues having wide constituency. Bad governance and rampant corruption in states have made corruption and development election issues.
Dispute between Anna team and Government: If we read between the lines, there is no difference as basics are agreed upon that is it must be passed in coming session of parliament. Political economy is the main hurdle for the government. Doing political business Congress led government will try all its best to get its credit. To acquire the benefit, they are trying to dilute the position of civil society and oppositions through different diplomacy and tactics. There are so many compromised formulas which will suit both the sides. But Government is fighting for its business to maximise its political economy. Merchant Minhaz suggests one most amicable compromised solution in his article in ToI on
first, should the prime minister come within the purview of the Lokpal? Yes: the prime minister as head of the government must welcome institutional scrutiny - as, for instance, US presidents routinely do - not evade it.
Secondly, should the higher judiciary (high court and Supreme Court judges) fall within the purview of the Lokpal? No, the Judicial Standards and Accountability Bill, currently under legislative review, should instead be strengthened to include a judicial commission which would hear public complaints against senior judges. The judicial commission could have five members: the chairperson of the Lokpal body, the central vigilance commissioner, the leader of the opposition, a senior government minister and a former chief justice of
Corruption is not a normal issue as it looks- affecting whole country. So, it needs a movement like led by Gandhiji and will take its own time. A start has been by Anna and Baba. It will see many more ups and downs. So far, we have seen one up and one down of Anna and Baba. Citizens need to push their effort to achieve this patiently and continuously. Indian governance is very complex as diversity is its basic nature. For government, making a balance among all factors is not an easy task. Congress will move in steps and gradually like in 2G and CWG. In these two aslo, first they oppose like lokpal , but public pressure molded them for actions and still actions are in progress. It seems Lokpal will see the light of the day in steps and gradually and not in one go. Since this is the best current social and political product. So, it can't be set in reverse gear as it has win-win situations for all stakeholders.

Sexual signals, such as plumage color, are thought to reflect an individual's condition and thus to be a relatively honest indicator of quality to those seeking a mate. The condition of individuals, however, can change over time, leaving one to wonder if such traits only provide honest information about condition at a specific point in the past. Vitousek et al. tested whether signals themselves may influence an individual's condition and thus provide a more accurate indicator of current quality. Specifically, they experimentally darkened the underside of female North American barn swallows and measured indicators of physiological state, such as reactive oxidative metabolites and circulating testosterone. Manipulated birds had consistently lower levels than controls. Naturally darker birds have greater resistance to oxidative stress and reproductively dominate lighter birds. The authors suggest that darkening the birds led to altered social interactions, including fewer challenges and greater mating success. Further, they suggest that the reduced stress experienced by darkened birds left them in better condition, one more reflective of the high-quality trait they displayed. These results suggest that feedback between a signal, its bearer, and recipients may help keep both the signal, and the signaler, honest.

NASHVILLE, Tn (TWRA) - Caves located on land owned by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and other state lands in Tennessee will be closed for a year in an effort to prevent the spread of White Nose Syndrome (WNS) among the state's bat population.
The TWRA and state agencies agreed to close all caves on public property after receiving a request from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. The Nature Conservancy has also agreed to follow the state's lead to close all caves located on Conservancy property.
The closures are effective immediately and temporarily close public access to all caves, sinkholes, tunnels and abandoned mines on state land managed by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and the Tennessee Department of Agriculture Division of Forestry. These lands include state parks, forests, and wildlife management areas. The closure extends through May 2010 and follows similar steps taken elsewhere in response to a U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service advisory asking for a moratorium on cave visitations in WNS-affected states and adjoining states.
State agencies will work with the Nature Conservancy, cavers and caving groups to share information and answer questions about the need for the temporary year closures.
White-nose Syndrome, or WNS, is named for a white fungus that appears on the faces, ears, wings and feet of hibernating bats. Scientists are trying to determine the cause of WNS and its effects. Once a colony is affected, the fungus spreads rapidly and has killed at least 95 percent of bats at one hibernation site in just two years. Other monitored bat colonies affected by WNS are experiencing similar large fatalities. There have been no reported human illnesses attributed to WNS and there is currently no evidence to suggest that WNS is harmful to humans or other organisms.
"Bats provide a tremendous public service in terms of pest control. If we loose 500,000 bats, we'll loose the benefits from that service and millions of pounds of insects will still be flying around our neighborhoods, agricultural fields and forests," said Richard Kirk, Non-game and Endangered Species Coordinator for the TWRA.
Scientists believe WNS is spread bat-to-bat as they cluster in caves and mines, and it may be unknowingly transferred from one cave or mine to another on the footwear, clothing and gear of humans visiting caves. Infected caves and mines may not show obvious signs of its presence.
WNS was first recorded in 2006 in a cave near Albany, N.Y. and within two years had spread to Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont. WNS outbreaks were confirmed this past winter in nine states, including new outbreaks in Virginia and West Virginia. Tennessee officials want to take action to further prevent the spread of the syndrome and protect Tennessee's bat populations.
Nearly 500,000 bats are known to have died as a result of WNS in the New England and Mid-Atlantic states, including almost 25,000 endangered Indiana bats. The syndrome has already affected caves in Virginia, and Tennessee state officials feel it is only a matter of time before occurrences of WNS will be found here.
The U.S. Forest Service has closed thousands of caves and former mines in national forests in 33 states in an effort to control the fungus. Other public closures in Tennessee include the Cherokee National Forest and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Biologists are concerned that WNS could devastate populations of endangered Indiana and gray bats. Bats play a key role in keeping insects such as agricultural pests, mosquitoes and forest pests under control. Between April and October, they usually eat their body weight in bugs per night.
"Temporarily staying out of caves and mines is the one thing we can do right now to slow the transmission of White Nose Syndrome. With cooperation and some luck, this will give us the time we need to develop an effective response strategy to slow the further spread of the WNS," said Cory Holliday, Cave and Karst Manager for the Nature Conservancy.
The disease causes bats to use up their fat reserves rapidly during hibernation. This causes the bats to fly out of caves during the winter in a desperate attempt to find food, but since the insects they eat are also seasonally dormant, the bats soon die of starvation.
This summer, staff from the Nature Conservancy, the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and the Arnold Air Force Base will be conducting extensive out-flight counts of the state's bat populations to establish the current populations as well as determine the overall health of Tennessee's bats. Scientists and researchers throughout the eastern U.S. are modifying their work to avoid cave entry and the handling of bats. Scientists are hopeful that the cave closures along with WNS public awareness will give them time to discover the cause of WNS and how to limit its transmission.

The mystery surrounding Disney's revamped Sleeping Beauty, aptly named Maleficent, has been rich. The three trailers are spellbinding visual feasts featuring the piercing cheekbones of Angelina Jolie. Then, there's Lana Del Rey's take on "Once Upon A Dream" that, in true Del Rey form, is pretty, macabre, but still mysterious. We know Maleficent once had some wings, but we don't know how or why she lost them.
Disney's just-released featurette seeks to dispel at least a glimmer of its riddle. Here's what we know now: Maleficent is "beautiful," "different," and "not what people expect." Cool, so is life, and that mystery has been nagging philosophers for eons. Elle Fanning says, "It's the classic story of Sleeping Beauty, but with so much more." Okay, girl. We could've gathered that from the three trailers. Then there's the film's screenwriter, who's quick to note this won't be a "retelling," but a "reinvention."
Alright, well, at least we know we're not being fed a live-version of the 1959 classic. Stay tuned for the next installment, where audiences will find out why Maleficent's cheeks are so enviable. Or, wait until May 30, when the movie, and all its mysteries, will be released to the public. (Empire)

Disney Now Buying Hasbro in Attempt to Own All Your Childhood Favorites
What's that you say? Your head hasn't stopped spinning since you heard about the Disney and Lucasfilm merger? Allow us to give it another whirl. MTV Geek is reporting that Disney is in talks with Hasbro to buy out the toy and board game company – founded in 1923 by two brothers in New Jersey — and a deal could be possible at any time.
The consolidation makes perfect sense, considering Hasbro currently holds license for the Star Wars brand. They also hold rights to Marvel — at least until 2017. Several years ago the Mouse House bought rights to the superhero property and may renew Hasbro's license or deny it when the hourglass runs out. At that time, Hasbro's biggest worry was that Disney would go to rival Mattel with Marvel, but that won't matter much should this union become official.
Other major properties that would shift to Disney include G.I. Joe, Sesame Street, My Little Pony and Transformers. MTV weighed in on the Transformers and Joe movie franchises, which are currently overseen by Paramount, but reminds us that control over those properties could easily change, as it did with Marvel.
Other revamps to consider would be to various animated series, comic book works, and crossover scenarios, but that's a whole other web to untangle. Consider this news a rumor for now, but feel free to speculate to your heart's content in the comments section about the insanity of My Little Transformers and other Disney-Hasbro mash-ups.

Charles F. Hockett, one of the last great champions of structural linguistics, an approach to the study of language upstaged by the ''Chomsky Revolution'' of the 1950's, died Nov. 3 at the Cayuga Medical Center in Ithaca, N.Y. He was 84 and lived in Ithaca.
Before his retirement in 1982, Dr. Hockett was the Goldwin Smith Professor of Anthropology and Linguistics at Cornell University. His many books included ''A Course in Modern Linguistics'' (1955), which remained the standard introductory work for nearly two decades, and the anthropology text ''Man's Place in Nature'' (1973).
Dr. Hockett, whose goatee and deliberate manner of speaking contributed to his professorial mien, was one of the most prominent linguists of the post-World War II era, recognized for his meticulous analyses of languages from Chinese to Fijian to Potawatomi, a lifework he once described as ''anthropology wrapped around linguistics.'' He was later known for his stinging criticism of Chomskyan linguistics, which he called ''a theory spawned by a generation of vipers.''
Until the late 1950's, structural linguistics held sway as the field's reigning methodology. Closely allied with behavioral psychology, it viewed language as a social phenomenon and the linguist's task as the compilation of minutely detailed grammatical inventories of individual languages.
But in 1957 the young linguist Noam Chomsky redirected the course of the field from behavior to biology, arguing that human language ability is the product of an innate, universal cognitive faculty. The task of the linguist, then, should be to characterize this inborn faculty by means of abstract, quasi-mathematical rules. Dr. Chomsky's work, originally known as transformational-generative grammar, continues to be the dominant force in linguistics.Continue reading the main story
Dr. Hockett, however, remained a lifelong adherent of structuralism, lamenting what he viewed as the Chomskyans' ripping of language from its social context. ''In the form of an aphorism that paraphrases Stalin and Einstein,'' he wrote in 1979, ''linguistics without anthropology is sterile; anthropology without linguistics is blind.''
Charles Francis Hockett was born Jan. 17, 1916, in Columbus, Ohio, where his father, Homer Carey Hockett, taught American history at Ohio State University. Charles entered Ohio State in 1932 at the age of 16, receiving his B.A. and M.A. in ancient history jointly in 1936. He received his doctorate in 1939 from Yale, where he was a student of the renowned linguist and anthropologist Edward Sapir.
As a United States Army officer during World War II, Dr. Hockett prepared foreign-language instructional materials for military personnel (''In 1944 I could say 'Where is the toilet?' in 28 languages,'' he recalled), and on returning to civilian life he worked briefly on the American College Dictionary (''Many of the nontechnical definitions in the B's are mine, and I am especially proud of the entry on 'bubble' ''). He joined the Cornell faculty in 1946.
Dr. Hockett is survived by his wife, the former Shirley Orlinoff, a retired professor of mathematics at Ithaca College; his daughters, Alpha Walker of Los Angeles, Amy Rose of Detroit, Rachel Youngman of Cambria, Calif., and Carey Hockett of London; a son, Asher, of Ithaca; and five grandchildren. He was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Science, and a past president of the Linguistic Society of America.
In 1968, Dr. Hockett published ''The State of the Art,'' a book-length denunciation of the transformational grammarians. ''Their studies are as worthless as horoscopes,'' he told The New Yorker in 1971. ''They have rejected the scientific approach to the study of the human mind and human behavior, and retreated into mysticism.''Continue reading the main story


text: beauty REVIEW(S): Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in #21 by iamnicolefaller - 9/09/2016 12:00:00 PM It was in 2008/2009 when I first encountered the term BB Cream. Clueless of what it means, I started to do my research on its meaning and the best brands so far. Missha was the first famous BB Cream brand I've seen during that time. It has the best reviews and claims that got me interested to buy. Price at that time was still at Php1000+ and since I was still in college that time, I couldn't afford to buy one. Good thing, I was able to finally buy one at Althea Kr website last February at a much cheaper price. It still has the same positive claims and so I was so excited to try this one. So let's get started with my review on the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream. Description: "Originally developed as a salve for patients after laser treatment, BB cream's soothing and regenerative properties were adapted for cosmetics to improve skin while providing coverage. The M Perfect Cover BB Cream is Missha's most popular product with over 30 million sold worldwide. It gives an even and natural looking coverage with the soothing l, moisturizing properties of a cream. It is suitable for all skin types including acne-prone skin, and can be used as a makeup base or foundation!" Packaging: This comes in a red and silver box and the product is placed in this red BB tube. It also has a pump for easier use. Volume: 50ml Price: Php550 (got this at Althea Kr box) Shades: They have 5 shades to choose from #13 Bright Beige, #21 Light Beige, #23 Natural Beige, #27 Honey Beige and #31 Golden Beige - Got mine in #21 Light Beige Consistency: Very creamy and gives off a dewy finish Coverage: Light-medium coverage. It cannot completely cover my dark spots, pimples, blemishes and uneven skin tone. A concealer is still needed for coverups. Swatch: Gives off a gray undertone. Review of the product below: Longevity: - I was able to use the product for about 7 hours. - I can already see the oil on my T-zone and some on my cheeks during the first 4 hours. - After 7 hours, oil can be seen all over my face and blotting is a must. Video review on my Youtube channel below: Pros: - Light to medium coverage - with SPF 42 PA+++ - Long lasting - Buildable coverage - Dewy finish - Light weight - Affordable if bought at Althea Kr site Cons: - Was able to see oil on my nose after 4 hours of use - For oily skin like me, a primer and good final powder is still a must to help the product last longer - Mostly recommended for dry skin Verdict: Overall, maybe I was really expecting a lot from this product but I think the product's just average for me. Also, I'm not used to gray undertone and dewy finish which I don't like since I do have an oily skin. I was expecting more on the longevity but sadly I was only able to stretch the product for about 4 hours before I had to touch up.I think a good primer and finishing powder is a must for this product especially for oily skin like me. But for the value of money, I think it's still a good everyday bb cream since it is very lightweight and I got it for a cheaper price. Haha Will I repurchase it? Since I do have an oily skin, I'm still unsure if I'll repurchase this one the future. **Product is bought from own money.

A TERRIFIED woman called in animal rescuers to save her from a 5ft snake – that turned out to be a draft excluder.
She found the "beast" curled up in the loft of the house she had recently moved into. In a panic, she phoned the Scottish SPCA.
Animal rescue officer Karen Hogg found the distressed woman waiting for her. She said yesterday: "We've rescued hundreds of snakes from properties in all sorts of unusual circumstances.
"We had no reason to believe this might not be the real thing. I'd brought gloves and a pillow case to enable us to handle and contain the snake safely.
"But as soon as we spotted it, we realised the equipment wouldn't be necessary.
"The poor lady was still very shaken, even after we'd removed the stuffed animal from the property.
"This callout really made us smile and given that we deal with cruelty and neglect day in, day out, it was refreshing to go to a job where the 'animal' was completely unharmed."
The draft excluder – in green and black scaly fabric with a red felt tongue – has been nicknamed Sid since being found in Kingswells, Aberdeen, on Monday.

In a U.S. trial involving almost 2,000 patients, 12.5% lived to hospital discharge after chest compression as did 11% of patients who received chest compression and rescue breathing. A smaller Swedish study showed a 30-day survival of 8.7% with chest compression alone and 7% with conventional CPR.
Chest compression alone resulted in a trend toward better survival in two key subgroups of the U.S. study: patients with a cardiac cause of arrest and those with arrhythmias that could be treated with defibrillation.
Both studies appear in the July 29 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
"There was a consistent trend toward meaningful outcome differences in favor of chest compression alone in key clinical subgroups," Thomas D. Rea, MD, of the University of Washington in Seattle, and co-authors wrote in their conclusion.
"The results, viewed within the context of other investigations, strengthen a layperson CPR strategy that emphasizes chest compression and minimizes the role of rescue breathing."
Taken together, the studies lead to the "straightforward conclusion" that chest compression alone and with ventilation result in similar survival, Myron Weisfeldt, MD, of Johns Hopkins, wrote in an accompanying editorial.
Given that mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing is more difficult to perform and that many people find it distasteful, "advocating continuous chest compression without ventilation by a bystander should increase the frequency of bystanders' effectively performing CPR and therefore increase the chances of survival after cardiac arrest," added Weisfeldt, a past president of the American Heart Association.
Early initiation of CPR by a bystander can increase survival and improve long-term neurologic recovery. CPR traditionally has consisted of chest compressions interspersed with rescue breathing. In recent years, however, interest has grown in bystander CPR that emphasizes chest compression and minimizes or eliminates rescue breathing, Rea and co-authors noted in their introduction.
As suggested by Weisfeldt, chest compression alone might be more acceptable to laypersons, and studies involving preclinical models of cardiac causes of arrest suggest CPR with chest compression alone may increase circulation and improve survival.
The only randomized clinical trial to compare the two types of bystander CPR also showed no significant difference in survival (N Engl J Med 2000; 342: 1546-1553). However, the higher survival among patients randomized to chest compression alone (14.6% versus 10.4%) is clinically relevant, Rea and co-authors wrote.
In an effort to determine the best approach to bystander CPR, the Seattle investigators conducted the Dispatcher-Assisted Resuscitation Trial (DART). The trial tested the hypothesis that bystander CPR with chest compression alone would improve survival compared with conventional CPR.
The DART population included 1,941 patients and originated from bystander calls to the 911 system for patients in cardiac arrest. Dispatchers determined whether a patient was unconscious or not breathing and not yet receiving CPR.
If the caller was willing to perform CPR with dispatcher assistance, a patient was randomized to chest compression alone or chest compression plus rescue breathing. The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge.
Although chest compression alone did not improve survival in the overall population, subgroup analyses revealed trends favoring chest compression without rescue breathing.
At two participating sites, investigators evaluated survival with a favorable neurologic outcome, which proved to be 14.4% with chest compression and 11.5% with chest compression plus rescue breathing (P=0.13).
In the overall study population, chest compression alone resulted in a trend toward improved survival in patients with a cardiac cause of arrest (15.5% versus 12.3%, P=0.09) and for patients with shockable rhythms (31.9% versus 25.7%).
The Swedish study involved 1,276 patients from throughout the country. As in the U.S. study, dispatchers determined eligibility and randomly assigned patients to the two CPR strategies. The primary endpoint was 30-day survival. Like its U.S. counterpart, the trial tested the hypothesis that compression-only CPR might be superior to standard CPR.
The 1.7% absolute difference in the primary endpoint did not achieve statistical significance (P=0.26), Leif Svensson, MD, PhD, of the Karolinska Institute at Södersjukhuset, and co-authors reported.
The secondary endpoint of one-day survival was numerically greater in the compression-only group, but that difference did not achieve significance either (24% versus 20.9%, P=0.18), nor did the difference in survival to hospital discharge (19.1 versus 14.8%, P=0.16).
Outcomes of analyses across multiple subgroups also yielded no significant differences between treatment groups. Nonetheless, the authors considered the results as support for compression-only CPR.
"Overall, this study lends further support to the hypothesis that compression-only CPR, which is easier to learn and to perform, should be considered the preferred method for CPR performed by bystanders in patients with cardiac arrest," Svensson and co-authors wrote in conclusion.
Other U.S. emergency medicine and cardiology specialists generally seconded the authors' conclusions.
"For a bystander with no training, it is clear that a 911 operator can coach that bystander to do chest compressions alone more easily than chest compressions plus ventilation," Clifton Callaway, MD, PhD, of the University of Pittsburgh, said by e-mail in response to a query from MedPage Today and ABC News.
"This result does not suggest that trained rescuers -- including bystanders with training -- should not ventilate the patient," he added. "While a few minutes of chest compressions without ventilation can be tolerated and can support life, at some point the patient needs oxygen."
The studies both show a lack of benefit for rescue ventilation in the setting of untrained bystander CPR, cardiologist Steve Nissen, MD, of the Cleveland Clinic, said in an e-mail. However, the results do not mean that trained personnel could not improve outcomes with chest compressions plus ventilation.
Moreover, neither trial addressed the situation when two bystanders are present, one to perform chest compressions and the other to perform mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing, Nissen added.

NEW DELHI -- Lok Sabha was adjourned for the day today and Rajya Sabha till 2 pm without transacting any business in view of the funeral of former President A P J Abdul Kalam taking place in his hometown of Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu.
As soon as the Lok Sabha assembled, Speaker Sumitra Mahajan paid obituary reference to three former members of Lok Sabha -- Sriballav Panigrahi, R S Gavai and B K Handique.
She also referred to the Gurdaspur terrorist attack and mentioned the names of SP Baljit Singh and Home Guards Sukhdev Singh, Bodh Raj and Des Raj, who were killed in the incident, besides other civilians.
"The House strongly condemns this terrorist attack...," she said.
Mentioning the name of slain police personnel is in line with the recent decision of the Lok Sabha Secretariat to pay obituary to the personnel of armed forces and police forces who die in the line of the duty.
Soon after she made the obituary reference, Mahajan adjoured the House for the day citing the funeral of Kalam.
The development apparently took Home Minister Rajnath Singh by surprise. Singh was standing on his seat when the House was adjourned.
Government had earlier announced that the Home Minister would make a statement on the Gurdaspur terror incident and Speaker had even suggested that she could allow some clarifications.

Incidentally, Congress members today were not sporting the black bands on their arms to protest government "inaction" on Lalit Modi controversy and Vyapam scam.
In Rajya Sabha, soon after the House condemned the terrorist attack in Punjab, Chairman Hamid Ansari said "since the funeral of former President A P J Abdul Kalam is in progress" at Rameswaram, the House is adjourned till 2 PM.
Earlier, Ansari referred to the Gurdaspur terror strike and said "this dastardly attack is deporable," he said. The loss of lives in the terrorist strike was tragic and unfortunate.
The House "condemns the terrorist attack," he said reiterating the firm resolve to confront such attacks with determination.
Members stood in silence as mark of respect to the departed.
Both Houses were adjoured for two days on Tuesday as a mark of respect for Kalam.
The Rajya Sabha was earlier adjourned only for Tuesday, but later after a meeting of leaders of all parties in the Upper House, it was decided not to have a sitting on Wednesday as well.

Given the widespread angst over Newt's apparent betrayals of conservative principles, I've begun the process of researching for myself Newt's current and past policy positions and voting record.
Yes, I have lingering concerns about the consistency of his conservative record, but I also understand that being an evolving and very much engaged politician–a political practitioner who was often in the rough and tumble front lines of legislation–doesn't always easily lend itself to achieving the appearance of absolute philosophical purity. There are times when, as a practical politician, one must bend to achieve one's core legislative agenda. Thus the likely misleading appearance of apostasy.
As for some of the more questionable positions he's taken in the past, these items beg for an explanation. Do they really represent hidden Progressive, aka neo-Marxist, inclinations, or, more realistically, were they merely political expediencies. Here are some of those troubling positions into which we must all do some objective delving:
1. Co-sponsored the Fairness Doctrine which was mercifully vetoed by Pres. Reagan in 1987. (So far, I cannot determine if he actually voted for it.)
2. Supported the GATT Treaty thereby granting increased sovereignty to the UN. (11/94)
3. Voted for the single largest increase in federal education spending–$3.5B. (04/96) (Question: will he actually eliminate the Dept. of Education?)
4. Supported fed taxdollars for abortions. (04/95)
5. Supported Bush's proposal for mandatory carbon caps. (02/07)
6. LIke other conservatives, said he would have reluctantly voted for the $700B TARP bailout. (09/08)
7. Lobbied for ethanol subsidies. (01/11)
8. Suggested that flex-fuel vehicles be mandated for Americans. (01/11)
9. Wrote book saying he believes in man-made climate change. (02/11)
If Newt is able to explain these positions within the context of political expediency, misrepresentation, misstatement, or momentary addlepation then his conservative credentials would appear to be intact. I emailed these concerns to Newt's campaign and am hopeful of a timely reply. I am also exploring how best to channel these items of concern to upcoming debate moderators Donald Trump and FOX News as well.
The question is were those inconsistencies and/or faux pas and/or political expediencies indicative of Newt's foundational philosophical bearings. At this juncture and pending further research, I think not.
At this point, I've tentatively concluded that Newt is, in all likelihood, a bonafide conservative with clearly defined and vigorous conservative solutions. I am especially heartened by his "21st Century Contract with America" and am especially impressed by the 9th and 10th points of that Contract which, respectively, call for effectively clipping the wings of our runaway, activist judiciary and for beginning an orderly transfer of power and responsibility back to the States. For me, these two initiatives are at the heart of any real solution which seriously aims to restore constitutional order.
So, yes, I will be sending another donation to his campaign today. But, I will also continue to research and to keep my eyes and my options wide open.

Here is a collection of some of my favorite cake, cookie, cupcake, and frosting recipes – with a few oddballs, like panna cotta, thrown in! Additionally I will be sharing tutorials on how to make edible decorations. We all spend hours perusing the web and cookbooks for that smooth, fluffy buttercream, that wonderfully delicate cake, or that soft and chewy cookie that will impress ourselves and our friends with its perfection. These are some of my personal favorites based on my own preferences.
I'll tell you right now, I like a slightly dense cupcake or cake…not so fluffy as a box mix, and not as dense as a pound cake. There needs to be a tight crumb, and a pillowy soft mouth feel for this girl to be happy! As far as buttercream, and really any frosting, I can get down with all of them, but what really makes my taste buds happy is a slightly less sweet than commercial varieties, creamy, and fluffy mound of heaven adorning my cakes. Cookies need to be soft and chewy, flavors should be noticeable on first bite but not so strong as to scare anyone away, and decorations can be anywhere from elegant and formal to downright silly.
But, these are just MY preferences, just so you have an idea what these recipes may contain. I will still venture outside of my comfort zones to bring you other flavors, textures, and methods as I value all things dessert equally and know they all deserve the chance to shine!

Madam Speaker, the Malaysian Government recently seizedChristian children's books written in English because they contained illustrations of Bible prophets Moses and Abraham, an alleged violation of Islamic Shariah law.
The Malaysian Government's publications and "Religious Enforcement Police" found that the images of Bible characters in the Christian books offended the sensitivities of Muslims and must be banished.
Malaysian Prime Minister Badawi indicated other religions must understand that Islam is the true religion for Malaysia.
The government's "midnight raid" on these books infringes on the basic human right of religious freedom, a right which ironically is protected in the Malaysian constitution, but nonexistent under Islamic Shariah law. This is yet another example of the problems with a State religion.
Ghandi once said, "If we are to respect others' religions as we would have them respect ours, a study of the world's religions is a sacred duty." The Malaysian government expects all religions to be tolerant of the Islamic religion, but hypocritically is intolerant of the Christian faith.
And that's just the way it is.

This is a continuation of part 1 and provides reports given by Major General Samuel Curtis' subordinates during the events at Mine Creek, to include the capture of Confederate General John Marmaduke.
I present extracts from the reports of my comrades who mingled bravely in the great panorama, showing some of the details of this eventful struggle.
Colonel Blair's Report
Colonel Blair, now acting on my staff, after detailing his movements at or near Marais des Cygnes, [says]:
I here fell in with Major Seed, of your staff, and Surgeon Walgamott, and we advanced in front of the left of our line. On an eminence in rear of where their last line of battle was formed we came across an abandoned wagon, the first I had seen since the burning ones south of their camp. Finking a lot of books, letters, and papers of various kinds in the wagon we stopped a few minutes to make a hasty examination of the contents, and on resuming our forward movement I observed that the brigade on our right was some distance past us although we were still in advance of the one on our end of the line. Arriving on the table-land, which forms the summit level between the Marais des Cygnes and Osage, we again saw the enemy's line, and at this time it was evident he was in full force, although his whole line was not visible, his right being behind the brow of a hill which descended into Mine Creek.
Meanwhile the gallant brigade on our right was steadily advancing, with skirmishers well out, though brought to a check, apparently unsupported, in the face of this overwhelming force. The artillery was playing with great rapidity and considerable effect. I looked at the enemy's line, close, serried, and vomiting fire; I looked at the dauntless little brigade which was unflinching and steadfast in its front, and then turned to the rear, and it seemed a fearful distance to the head of the supporting column. I called Major Weed's attention to the situation, and he galloped to the rear to hurry forward re-enforcements, as it was evident here the battle was to be fought and the desperate issue joined on which the fate of the south tier of Kansas at least depended. Advancing alone to see if possible how far the right extended behind the cover of the hill, the bursting in the air and the tearing up of the earth soon satisfied me that they were firing canister at an enemy that they supposed was advancing on their right and hidden from view by the acclivity immediately in their front. This conviction on their part, I am satisfied, saved the brigade on our right, as a rapid and vigorous advance at that time would either have overwhelmed or utterly put it to rout. I moved to the right to get out of the sweep of the canister and then advanced till their extreme right was developed to view, and then rode rapidly to the rear with a tolerably full understanding of the situation.
Meeting Colonel Crawford but a short distance back I explained matters to him very hastily, told him they had commenced canister-firing, and urged him to go back and hurry up the troops, as he was acquainted with most of the brigade officers of General Pleasanton's division and I had no acquaintance whatever with any of them. He agreed to do so and again started to the rear. I then moved off to the brigade on our right, and when I arrived there found it engaged at long range and halted for our other troops to come up in line. The enemy's artillery was playing on this line with fearful effect and we had nothing but musketry to reply, but the men were steady and self-possessed and perfectly easy under the fire. I don't know how long it was before the other brigade came up. to me it seemed a long time, and I had ridden from this brigade back toward the enemy's right once or twice before it came up. When it did come on line the whole command advanced to short range, and for a time the fire was incessant and terrific. Both lines seemed like walls of adamant-one could not advance; the other would not recede. The crash of musketry, the scream of shell, the hissing sound of canister and balls, mingled with the shouts of the soldiers and the cries of the wounded, set off, too, by the walls of fire in front and girdles of steel behind, which marked both lines, formed a scene more easily remembered than described. During this terrible conflict I passed along the whole line and met your gallant staff officers everywhere, counseling, encouraging, exhorting, and commanding, and the tenor of the whole was "Charge!" It was evident that our only safety was in a successful charge by which we might capture the guns.
Capture of General Marmaduke
At length the movement commenced, slowly at first but increasing in velocity until it swept on resistless as an avalanche. A rush, a scramble, and all was over. The guns were captured, the enemy broken and flying to the rear, while our victorious squadrons were in almost breathless pursuit. So rapidly was this accomplished that when our left pushed forward into a field on the south side of the ravine the shell from our own artillery was crashing right into their midst. I was to the right of this, but so close that I could see this result, and also see Captain Hinton, of General Blunt's staff, in the midst of our victorious line. Pushing rapidly forward I witnessed the capture of Major-General Marmaduke by Corpl. James Dunlavy, of Company D, Third Iowa Cavalry. Marmaduke was endeavoring to rally his men and Dunlavy was galloping toward him, occasionally firing at him. Marmaduke evidently mistook him for one of his own men and started toward him, reproving him for firing on his friends. At least I so judged from what I could see and hear, and so the boy afterward told me. The boy stopped and coolly waited until Marmaduke got within twenty or thirty rods of him, then covered him with his carbine and ordered him to dismount and surrender or he would fire. Marmaduke dismounted and his horse galloped off. Seeing that I was an officer the boy proposed to turn him over to me, but I declined being bothered with a prisoner. General Marmaduke then said: "Sir, you are an officer. i claim protection at your hands. I am a general officer – General Marmaduke."
I then took charge of him and informed him that I would protect him until delivered to you as a prisoner of war, at which he seemed very much relieved. The boy then spoke up and said, "Colonel, remember If took him prisoner; I am James Dunlavy, corporal of company D, Third Iowa Cavalry." I told the boy (who was severely wounded in the right forearm, but who still grasped his pistol with vigor and energy) to come along also, and he should have the honor of being introduced to you as the captor of Marmaduke. On the way General Marmaduke complained of being dismounted, and Dunlavy promptly apologized, saying, "If I had known you were a general officer I should have allowed you to remain on horseback." Marmaduke then informed me that he was very faint and weak and could not walk much farther. meeting a soldier with a led horse I took charge of him and mounted my prisoner. Soon after this I met Major McKenny, of your staff, and proffered to turn the prisoner over to him, but he was too intent on getting to the front to be troubled with him. On my way back I saw one or two general officers, but preferred delivering my prisoner to the commanding general of the Army of the Border, and you will remember that I accordingly placed him in your own hands, at the same time introducing him captor, giving his full name, company, and regiment. This is the true, unvarnished story of the capture of Marmaduke, about which there has been so much misrepresentation in the newspapers.
Having rid myself of this responsibility, I again hurried to the front. When I overtook the advance I found it halted at the foot of the precipitous mounds descending into the Osage Valley. Leaving colonel Cloud, of your staff, here, Captain Hinton and myself pushed forward on to the skirmish line, away in the advance, almost as far as we could see over the smooth prairie, and on arriving there we could plainly see the rebel column moving straight in the direction of fort Scott. At the same time a smaller column was effecting a junction with it and came from a point to our right higher up the Osage, and which was most probably the force engaged by Colonel Moonlight near Fort Lincoln. The column in our front moved off and disappeared from sight, while our own line still remained stationary in our rear. I picked up an orderly from the skirmish line, who belonged to the Second Kansas Cavalry, and sent him back with a message to Colonel cloud, requesting him to get General Pleasanton to move forward, as I feared for Fort Scott, and at the same time got a citizen who had come forward with us to make a detour to the right and try to reach Fort Scott with a verbal message for the commanding officer to hold out to the last if the enemy struck him, as we were immediately upon his rear. Minutes passed and still our line did not move. I grew impatient and sent another man of the Second Kansas with a second message to Colonel Cloud, requesting him to see you and tell you that the enemy was moving in a direct line toward Fort Scott, and that to save it something must be done immediately. I feared that someone unacquainted with the topography of the country had led you to believe that the enemy was diverging to the east, as I knew at that time he was not. At length my suspense was ended, and the line began to move, and from this on there was no unnecessary delay.
Simultaneously the skirmish line also advanced. I waited until General Pleasanton came up (he being with the advance), explained to him the topography of the country, the direction the enemy had taken, my fears for Fort Scott, its situation, amount of stores, and then hurried forward again to the skirmish line.
It is proper to say here that the delay at the mound spoken of and subsequently on the summit was only sufficient for General McNeil's brigade to come up and take the advance, which seemed absolutely necessary to relieve the weary troops that had before acted in front. Fort Scott was Colonel Blair's home and his regular post, and a few moments seemed to him a long period, besides Colonel Cloud was then in the advance by my orders, leading the skirmishers, and could not have received Colonel Blair's reports.
The movement was then rapid and continuous till the skirmish line was checked near the verge of the Osage timber. The woods seemed alive with rebel soldiers but in rapid motion. The skirmishers kept up occasional firing at them until the advance brigade came up and we all charged rapidly down into the timber, but the enemy disappeared before our arrival. Colonel Cloud was in the charge, with about sixty veterans of the Second Kansas Cavalry. He halted in the timber to rest his horses for a few minutes and I passed on with the advance brigade, which I think was Brigadier-General McNeil's. At all events it was commanded by a general officer.
We followed down the stream some distance, crossed at the ford, and just as we were emerging from the timber on the south side the head of the column was fired on by the enemy's skirmishers. We soon dislodged them, however, and pushed on toward a corn-field on the left of the road. The head of the column was here checked by a heavy fire from the field, and it was evident another battle was to be fought. Accordingly the general (McNeil) formed his brigade in close column of companies, and made them a little speech while forming to the effect that it made no difference whether there was 1,000 or 10,000 men in that field, he wanted them to ride right over them. The men responded with a yell, the dismounted skirmishers tore down the fence in the face of a galling fire, and the column swept through it like a tornado. In the rear of the corn-field another line was formed on the prairie, the right resting on a skirt of timber fringing a small stream, while the advance of the brigade, rapidly deploying into line, charged and broke them at the first onset. A third line of battle was formed still farther to the rear, in a low basin, where there had been an evident intention to encamp, which was surrounded by a semicircle of hills, where they held us at bay under a severe fire for about twenty minutes or more, and until the whole brigade formed in line and charged. Before this impetuous charge they were again broken, and as I passed through their temporary halting place there was abundant evidence of the haste they were in, in the broken wagons, dismounted forges, fragmentary mess-chests, and smashed crockery with which the ground was strewn.
The chase this time continued about a mile to the top of the hill south of the valley of the Osage, and on getting view of the enemy from the summit of the hill I was gratified to observe that he was bearing very palpably to the east, thus giving me my first reasonable hope that Fort Scott might be spared. I noticed, too, with increased satisfaction, that we were at least a mile east of the wire road and that for the first time the enemy's direction was turned from this place. Satisfied that I could render no further service, I determined to come directly here (Fort Scott) to see to a certainty whether the post which was my special care was safe or not, and to satisfy those cravings of hunger which, though persistently ignored for three days and nights, would still, despite of resolutions, occasionally become clamorous.
I refrain from adding the glowing compliments properly bestowed on others of my staff by Colonel Blair, although he and they deserve all he has written, for undoubtedly much of the success of this day's operations is due to their unceasing and extraordinary efforts.

And while he can say whatever he wants to say, we're all in this for the evidence. As scientists reporting on science, we shouldn't be making pronouncements that we can't back up. Right?

That would be PSI who can check if your registration key was sent or not.So its just a manual payment, and someone there will have to manually notice its been paid, and manually send me a registration code. So maybe someone there could manually check and see if one was actually sent?
Like I said before, it's best to get in touch with Poco Support, as I can't help any further here.Anyway, if the paypal receipt can get through, i'm sure your reg code will also make it just fine...

If the idea of being dragged around room after room of fancy old frocks fills you with gloom, fear not.
Because among the sequins and the tulle that froth through the galleries of the V&A, its new exhibition, The Glamour of Italian Fashion 1945-2014, is peppered with some fascinating men's clothes, too. Designs only decades old from labels including Giorgio Armani, Zegna and Dolce & Gabbana appear extravagantly different in proportion from the clothes we wear today, demonstrating how speedily shapes change in menswear; 20 years from now, today's slimmish-fitting garments will probably look like fossils, too.
Many earlier, mid-20th century examples of tailor-made sprezzatura – the notion of "nonchalant elegance" epitomised by Marcello Mastroianni – on show were made by companies still famous today such as Brioni. But the most fascinating, however, is an outfit from Angelo Litrico, a tailor all but forgotten in the 21st-century fashion world.
To modern eyes, Litrico's four-buttoned, slightly shiny, pale mohair dinner jacket looks preposterously long. It was made for John F. Kennedy in 1963, the year of the American president's assassination – and was one of the last of a series of commissions cut by Litrico for the leader of the free world. Slim (for then) suits, tuxedos and ties – one hand-painted with a "peace dove" – were among the clothes ordered by Kennedy during his visits to this Sicilian's Rome workshop.

Simultaneously, Litrico was making the suits JFK contemplated when facing his nemesis. Nikita Khrushchev first took to Litrico in 1957, after a delegation from the burgeoning Italian menswear industry travelled to Kiev to showcase sprezzatura to the Russians. The tailor brought a coat for the Soviet leader as a gift, cut from measurements guessed from newspaper photographs. Khrushchev was entranced. He took to ordering half a dozen Litrico suits a year in a shape far blockier than Kennedy's, but with arms and legs far narrower and elegant than anything available in Moscow.
When, in 1960, Khrushchev became enraged by Harold Macmillan during an assembly of the UN and banged his shoe on the desk in front of him to protest, the shoe was from Litrico. Indiscreetly, the tailor later divulged that the footwear had a slightly stacked heel to give an inch or two's extra presence.

Macmillan, Tito, Eisenhower, Hirohito and Norman Mailer wore his clothes, too, but the most significant customer was the Italian actor Rossano Brazzi. The tailor had arrived in Rome from Sicily, started a small shop, and took to wearing his own jackets to the opera. One night Brazzi spotted Litrico's jacket, asked where it was from, and commissioned one for himself. This first celebrity customer started the ripple of word-of-mouth recommendation that would lead all the way up to the chief protagonists in the Cuban missile crisis. That mohair jacket on display in the V&A is a relic of a time when, decades before glasnost, Italian menswear transcended the Iron Curtain.
The Glamour of Italian Fashion 1945-2014, sponsored by Bulgari, runs from April 5 to July 27 at the V&A, London

While I waited on my book to arrive I change my mind about twice a day. One minute I was just going to read it and see what it had to say. The next minute I was all in... And, then I would be saying there was no way. This went on for two weeks as I waited on my shipment. A couple of days before the book arrived I finally decided I HAD to stop the excuses and just do it. I jumped in full force and clueless really. I just started doing my best and making plenty of mistakes along the way. I joined a local support group through FaceBook and I was totally on board. I read that 600 page book in two weeks! I was all in. I did not do too many weird foods but I found a few tricks that worked for me and stayed focused on that. My new motto became: Focus on what you CAN have and not what you CAN'T. I scheduled my rare cheats and allowed that. On days I felt deprived I let myself have something I thought I wanted and quickly realized it really was not that wonderful. I got my sweet fix while detoxing by having an occasional squirt of whipped cream in my mouth or on a THM pancake. Unless it was scheduled I mostly went off sweets for the first four months. I had a hard time adjusting to stevia and other sweeteners so just avoiding sweets of all sorts worked best for me. I dropped 4 pants sizes and 30 pounds in those first four months. I went from a size 14 down to and 8... I am only 5'3" tall so honestly I am not done, yet. After that point I began to struggle more. I still stayed on plan most of the time and during the Summer I lost another 5-8 pounds or something like that, but I kept yo-yoing and just cold not get lower than that. I was claiming a 35 pound loss. This past Christmas I went on vacation and for the first time ate freely of any and everything. I gained 10 pounds which was a bummer as I approached my one year Trimaversary. That is no good but I have learned to fix the mistakes I make. As soon as I was back from that vacation I jumped right back in and as I type this right now I have officially lost that vacation weight that I gained. I am claiming a 32 pound weight loss at this time. So, this summarizes my story. Over time I will try to share some things that worked for me and some pictures.

Hi, I really hope to hear from you soon! You can reach me:
- Via facebook.com/kristinarunning
- On Twitter @kristinarunning
- By email at email@example.com
- And on Instagram
Hi, I really hope to hear from you soon! You can reach me:
Hi Kristina! I just came across your blog and I love it. I started running "seriously" (as in signed up for a Learn to Run clinic at the Running Room) just over a year ago- I'm also 28. 🙂 It looks like we have similar paces too- my body is not designed to run "fast" and I'm totally okay with that. I love for long, slow runs. I'm looking forward to catching up on your blog backwards! I live in Ontario, so snow will be here soon… I shall live vicariously through your nice running weather.
Thank you for being a normal human! I just finished my first ever marathon (that had complications with no markings, so it was really 28+ miles) in 7:03:13. Every other blog out there has marathoners finishing in half that time — and seeing your blog actually makes me feel more normal!!!!

Jeter hitless in return with Yankees
On a tradition-filled day, Derek Jeter was back at shortstop and
batting leadoff for the New York Yankees.
It doesn't get much more fireworks and hot dogs than that.
Sidelined since June 13 with a calf injury, Jeter was activated
from the 15-day disabled list Monday to continue his quest to reach
3,000 career hits. He went 0 for 4, reaching on an error and played
error free in the field in the Yankees' 6-3 loss to the Cleveland
"I felt fine, no problems, no issues," Jeter said. "I was
nervous at the beginning, almost like it was opening day again. It
was just nerves. Three weeks is definitely a long time to be out. I
felt better as the game went on."
Manager Joe Girardi didn't hesitate writing Jeter's name at the
top of his lineup card.
"It's easy to put him back in there. It's like he never left,"
Girardi said. "You just put him right back in there."
The Yankees' captain, named to his 12th All-Star team Sunday,
needs six more hits to become the 28th major leaguer to reach
3,000. Although he has struggled this season, batting just .260 in
62 games, Jeter is also just a few swings from becoming the first
player in New York's storied history to eclipse 3,000 – a
distinction that would separate the 37-year-old from all previous
pinstriped greats.
Jeter said he hasn't spent a moment dwelling on the milestone,
which will only add to a Cooperstown-worthy resume.
Jeter said he and Girardi will discuss how he'll be used in
upcoming games.
"I want him to get to 3,000 as soon as he can," Girardi said.
"I'm going to manage him more from a physical standpoint than
3,000 hits."
Jeter's absence was felt way beyond the boxscore.
"You miss his leadership and his consistency on a daily
basis," Girardi said.
To make room for Jeter, the Yankees optioned outfielder Chris
Dickerson to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Dickerson batted .300
(6 for 20) in 31 games for New York.
As he dressed before the game, Jeter quietly chatted with former
major leaguer Bobby Bonilla, who now works for the players' union.
Alex Rodriguez walked into the Yankees' clubhouse after getting a
haircut and faked being surprised when he walked up to Jeter, who
shared a hug with his teammate.
Jeter was eligible to come off the DL last week, but needed more
time to strengthen his calf. The AL East-leading Yankees went 14-4
without him and young shortstop Eduardo Nunez showed he may be the
one who one day replaces Jeter. Nunez went 7 for 8 with a homer and
three doubles in two weekend games against the Mets.
Jeter said before the game it wasn't disappointing to see the
Yankees thrive without him.
"I wish they went 18-0," he said. "We did a great job,
especially in interleague play. Hopefully, it will continue."
Jeter signed a three-year, $51 million contract this winter but
he is clearly on the decline. There has been renewed debate about
how long the Yankees should wait before moving one of the most
popular players in Yankees history out of the top of the lineup.
Jeter said he doesn't feel any pressure to perform in the season's
second half to silence critics.
"I don't try to prove anything to anyone," he said. "I try to
help my team win. There's been constant questions. It's nothing new
to me. I try not to pay attention to it (criticism) and try to
Asked what he needed to work on this season, Jeter said,
"I need to be a little more consistent than I have been," he
said. "I can't change anything that has happened in the past. I've
been criticized before. I take it as a challenge."
Girardi said the time off could serve Jeter well.
"A lot of times guys come back and they get their legs back
under you," Girardi said. "I hope it works out that way."
