Plaxico Burress Shot
Plaxico Burress Shot
New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress was involved in an accidental shooting at a night club Friday night.
Giants wideout Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg at a nightclub Friday night. Burress spent the night at
the hospital, and his wound is not considered life-threatening.
Burress had already been sidelined for this Sundays’ game against the Washington Redskins due to a hamstring injury. He was
not at team meetings and did not attend Saturday’s walkthrough. Specific details of the shooting are not available, and the
Giants are not commenting on the incident.
This marks another black spot in what has not been a good year off the field for Burress. He has been suspended and fined
several times this season for missing meetings and arguing with officials. After all his woes, Burress insisted he was not a
distraction to his team. Burress is currently playing on a $35million contract that he signed after the Giants won the Super
Bowl last season.

Chris Matthews For Senate?
Rumors have been flying around over the past year or so about the possibility of MSNBC political commentator and host of
“Hardball,” Chris Matthews, running for the Senate in Pennsylvania. He was born in Philadelphia.
Could it really happen? Two separate reports today indicate that it just might. FiveThirtyEight reports that Matthews has
been in discussions with veteran Obama staffers to “enlist in his campaign.”
Additionally, the Associated Press picked up on the story today to report that a Pennsylvania Democratic party leader has
heard some serious rumblings of a potential run as well.
A Pennsylvania Democratic party leader says MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews may be considering a run for U.S. Senate in 2010.
The Patriot-News of Harrisburg reports Matthews met with state party leaders this past week in Washington to discuss a
possible bid to unseat Republican Sen. Arlen Specter.
Party official Mary Isenhour says she left the meeting feeling that Matthews still hadn’t made up his mind.
The 62-year-old Matthews hosts MSNBC’s “Hardball” and provides political commentary on NBC’s “Today.” He ran unsuccessfully
for a Pennsylvania congressional seat in 1974.
But of course, the inevitable “that’s crazy!” retort was given by a spokesperson at MSNBC to Politico in response to the
rumors which have suddenly gained newsworthy attention today.
UPDATE: Through a spokesperson, Matthews gave the following statement to Politico about the FiveThirtyEight report: “It is
absolutely not true.”
Matthews would reportedly run as a Democrat against veteran incumbent Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA). Some pundits, including
the Cook Political Report, see Specter as a possible candidate for retirement when his term runs out in 2010. Specter would
be 80 at that time and has had two serious battles with cancer over the past few years.
The Cook folks have Specter’s seat currently rated as “Leans Republican” which means it would likely be a competitive race.
A recent poll shows Specter would have a significant lead to start with, largely due to the fact that voters don’t know much
about Matthews.

Linux 2.6 kernel ported to the iPhone
Linux 2.6 kernel ported to the iPhone
A rather interesting report has been filtering out of various websites: a 2.6 version of the Linux kernel has been ported to
the iPhone. This Linux operating system can be used on the iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, and first-generation iPod touch platforms.
This site: http://linuxoniphone.blogspot.com/2008/11/linux-on-iphone.html announced that the Linux 2.6 kernel has been ported
to Apple’s iPhone and is fully (more or less) functional, with support for the first and second generation iPhones as well as
the first generation iPod touch. They do warn that this is a rough first draft
of the port, and many drivers are still missing, but it’s enough that a real alternative operating system is running on the
iPhone.
This could be an important stepping stone for the true acceptance of the iPhone for a new breed of higher-end tech user.
What’s included so far: the Framebuffer driver, a Serial driver (and over USB as well), and interrupts, MMU and clock.
Read-only support for the NAND is nearly complete as well. Touchscreen, sound and wireless networking as still being added,
but he anticipates those will be in soon.

Haryana to implement sixth pay commission scales from Jan 2006
Saturday, 29 November 2008
CHANDIGARH: The Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda today said that the revised pay scales according to the
recommendations of sixth pay commission to all State Government employees would be implemented from January 2006. The State
Government had already made a provision of Rs. 1500 crore in the annual budget

The Chief Minister while replying the questions of Media Persons at Rohtak said that a committee had been formed under the
Chairmanship of Haryana Chief Secretary to look into the matter and to decide the revised pay scales as per the
recommendations of sixth pay commission.
He said that the committee had received about 225 suggestions from different departments about the revision in the pay
scales. For the transparency in the fixation of pay scales the committee had given personal hearing to all the request and
suggestions. He assured that the new pay scales would be satisfactory and justifiable to each and every category of
employees.
Hooda said that "employees are the back bone of the administration set up and the present Congress Government is well-wisher
of the employees". He said that almost all the retrenched employees by the previous Government had been merged in the various
departments by this Government only. They had also been given relaxation to appear again in the departmental examinations.

Good sex everyday, keeps doctors away
21 Oct 2008, 0000 hrs IST, MONIKA RAWAL
You would have never thought that a kiss could help keeping dental worries at bay or a gratifying sexual act at night make you feel fit and fresh the next morning. But that's what studies across the web claim.
Healthy sex leads to a healthy life. You may have tried copious measures to get that extra glowing skin and shiny hair. You must have also worked out rigorously to achieve that perfect ten figure you've desired. But the key to your mind and heart is fulfilling sex. Even for those who lose their temper or are always in a depressed state of mind, 'sex' can be the solution.
A happy sexual life with your partner not only gets you in shape with better skin texture and silken tresses, it also burns extra calories, keeps you fit, combats asthma, relieves headache, reduces depression and tranquilises your mind. From make-up experts, hair stylists, sexologists and fitness connoisseurs – there's a common consensus that a vigourous sexual life leads to a healthy life – both physically and emotionally. We get them share more on this...
There have been several notions stating that 'sex' produces certain hormones that bring happiness, which lead to a fit body and a healthy mind. Shedding some light on this, Dr. Sanjay Chugh, specialist on sexual issues, states, "Sex contributes to general good health. Any sexual intimacy that is enjoyable and pleasurable promotes well being by providing several physical
and psychological benefits. It is believed that sex boosts chemicals in the body that protects us against diseases. Research also suggests that sex and masturbation can help ease joint and muscle pain, combat depression, promote heart health and
lengthen one's life span."
Dr. Samir Parikh, clinical physiatrist adds, "The basic fact is that a good sex life also means in a larger picture, a good relationship with one's partner and this makes the partner happier, less stressed and by virtue of that physically
healthier."
Not just this, sex also accelerates blood circulation and one's basic metabolic rate, which further enhances the well-being of our mind and soul and helps us calm down.
On these emotional benefits, Dr Chugh adds, "A satisfying sexual relationship strengthens the bond between couples, making them feel secure and loved. The feeling of emotional connectedness adds to ones sense of belonging, which in totality helps
them achieve a positive physical, psychological and spiritual state that is necessary for one's general health."
Elaborating further, on a scientific angle, Dr Avdesh Sharma, a consultant psychiatrist, and an expert on relationship issues shares, "Sex is a way of bonding at the physical, mental and emotional level and leads to health (including psychological)
benefits. If it is used as a mechanical process, it may have limited benefits. There are physiological benefits of positive changes in parameters like pulse, heart rate, reduction in blood pressure (after an increase in B.P. specially if vigourous
sex is tried), dilation of blood vessels and capillaries of the skin, leading to a 'glow', burning of a few calories (depending on the duration of the act and vigour), exercising of some of the muscles, thus improving lung capacity (during
heavy breathing)."
However, we also need to understand that sexual acts work more in terms of improving resistance, but are not a safe guard or a treatment to illnesses. Any sexual act can neither be used as a treatment nor would it change your stresses of life, which
one would need to resolve irrespective.
"The extra edge of sex may be due to the feeling of being wanted, an expression of emotions and certain hormonal and physiological changes that happen as an expression of love for another individual. Unfortunately, the benefits of sexuality are usually quoted out of context and people may look at this as a panacea for everything. But sexuality without emotions have limited value," concludes Dr Avdesh Sharma.
Here are some lesser known fun facts about sex.
Have sex stay fit : Sex may seem like the safest sport you can take up. It de-stresses you, keeps you rejuvenated, elevates your moods and stretchs, tones and exercises your body muscles.
Expert opinion : Dr Ishi Khosla, clinical nutritionist, Director Whole Foods asserts, "Sexual acts certainly lead to a normal mental well-being and a healthy state of mind. This in turn creates a physically fit body. If there's an ill-health or
manifestation of any problem, it would reflect on your outer body."
Dr Samir Parikh adds, "You would still need a balanced lifestyle, which means that if you compare two equals in terms of lifestyle age and other factors as a constant, then it's possible that a sexually active person feels better."
Sex burns extra calories : It is indeed a form of exercise and naturally burns one's calories too.
Expert Opinion : Dr Geetu Amarnani, wellness expert at Kolmet Hospital, opines, "While having sex, the BMP (basic metabolic rate) increases and that ultimately helps in burning the calories, so it's widely believed that one can shed that extra flab through sexual encounters."
Sex for glowing skin and hair : When women make love they produce the hormone oestrogen which makes their hair shine and their skin smooth.
Expert Opinion : Make-up expert Sylvie, also an expert on sexual issues asserts, "As sex helps releasing the extra level of frustration and stress on one's mind and body, so logically it leads to a glow on your face and your skin texture looks
better too. Also, hormones in our body are activated at a faster rate than usual during sex, which helps in better blood circulation, adding that extra shine to one's skin and hair."
Sex brings relief from headaches, reduces depression and tranquilises your mind : A satisfying love-making session releases tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain. It brings you out of a depressed state of mind and acts as a tranquilliser.
Expert Opinion : Dr Sanjay Chugh, "The pleasure that is derived from a satisfying sexual act tends to relax one's mind, taking away headache. It releases endorphins into the bloodstream, producing a sense of euphoria and leaving you with a feeling of well-being. Good sex leaves the person feeling relaxed and satisfied thus acting like a tranquiliser."
A kiss to keep dental problems at bay : It is medically accepted that a kiss encourages saliva to wash food from the teeth and lowers the level of the acid that causes decay. It also prevents the build-up of plaque.
Expert Opinion : Dental expert, Dr. Vandana Jyoti opines, “Anything that increases salivation will help in bringing down the acid level, which causes damage to one’s teeth. It also prevents cavity. Other than a kiss, chewing gum and more of lemon
intake also tend to act in the same manner. But one has to be extra careful, as it might act the other way round, in terms of spreading germs, if either of the two persons involved in a kiss is suffering from a tooth infection.

KSRTC launches online hotel booking
Bangalore: If you plan to travel, you can now book hotels online through the new KSRTC website -- www.ksrtc.in -- that was
launched on Wednesday. The corporation has developed a software for booking hotels through private and e-booking services.
Many hotels in Bangalore, Mysore, Pondicherry and Mangalore have entered into agreement with KSRTC to use the online booking
service.
Transport principal secretary Upendra Tripathy said a state transport policy is in its planning stage. "Mobility is a
fundamental right. There should be 1,000 buses for every 10 lakh people," he said. "But for 4.5 crore population in
Karnataka, there are 20,000 buses maintained by four corporations and 7,000 private buses. The number should be 45,000
buses," he added.
Along with the launch of the website, Suvarna Karnataka tickets were also released. These tickets are valid for three or four
days and are ideal for short distance travel, such as in weekends. Passengers can buy the tickets online too.
The corporation has also launched a web portal to accommodate advertisements. The webpage will also offer news and other
information.

Career launcher: Will they make the IIM cut?
Bangalore: A fter years of holding down tough managerial positions and leading many in the boardroom, a few get back to the classroom. CAT candidates over 35, though few, are not uncommon. According to statistics provided by the Indian Institutes of Management, the number of candidates over 35 in 2007 was 22.72% higher than the previous year.
After garnering work experience, what interest could CAT possibly be hold for these candidates? According to Ajay Arora, director, TIME, of the total candidates, at least 3% fall in the over-35 category. "Most write the CAT because they feel they've reached a plateau and are looking for a career shift. An IIM degree would certainly add weight to the resume," said Arora. It's not the only reason -- some candidates are actually PhD aspirants or want to pursue the fellowship programme, added Arora.
According to Kavitha Narendra, head, academics, Career Launcher, said working software engineers also add to the number of CAT candidates over 35 years. "They take CAT for the post-graduate course in Software Enterprise Management, believing that an IIM degree adds value to their resume," said Kavitha.
Age, said these experts, is no hindrance. "Quite the opposite. As they've already been in the industry, they bring in a different perspective to the class than a person without any experience," said Arora. CAT experts said age and work experience are actually an advantage. "They're really focused because they know what they want. Besides, they've already experienced pressure in the workplace. It is easier for them," added Kavita.
Experts also said that if money is not a constraint, getting an IIM degree never goes waste. Manikantan Kumar (name changed), 38, works as an MNC global product manager. A mechanical engineer, he started working soon after getting his degree. With 15 years of experience to his credit, he's appearing for the test so "he can grow further and have a quantitative career jump". He said, "I'm looking at becoming a CEO of my company. For that, I need good qualifications," he said.
Disability no bar
Sanjeev Chaodhari, a visually impaired candidate, started his preparation in July but he's still not satisfied. "I'm in no hurry to get into the IIM or any other B-school. This time, I'm looking at improving my percentile and get familiar with the paper. For the next CAT, I'll start my preparation earlier," he said.
computer programmer Sanjeev said his toughest challenge is geometry and algebra as he's never studied geometry. He added that by next year, he'll be thorough with the basics in these subjects.
Like Sanjeev, there are other physically challenged candidates. Data provided by Career Launcher, a coaching centre, shows that IIM-Ahmedabad and IIM-Calcutta each has three Persons with Disability (PWD) who will pass out in 2009. In 2010, 10 students will complete the course from IIM-A.
Shiva Kumar, director (R&D), Career Launcher, told STOI that from his coaching centre, three PWD candidates will take CAT-2008. "PWD candidates are given extra time. For every hour, they get an extra 20 minutes according to IIM norms. Candidates come with their scribes who should be less qualified than the candidate," he said, adding that 3% of seats are reserved for PWDs.
Coaching such candidates, especially the visually impaired, is not easy. "We have software which can convert the entire study material into a PDF document. Most have this software, but it's just a small part. Some candidates don't have a problem with English but geometry is challenging for them and data interpretation (DI) document doesn't really help," he explained.
He added that candidates are given a feel of geometrical cut-outs. But the difficulty is in DI as it involves a lot of expressions. "We train candidates to ask the scribe the right questions when it comes to DI," Shiva Kumar said, adding that they sometimes advise candidates to quit geometry.

Infotech show in Bangalore from Nov 6-8
Software honchos and hardware geeks will gather to solidify strategies to tackle the effects of the global meltdown on the Indian information technology (IT) industry at a CEOs conclave. It will be a part of the three-day Bangalore IT.biz 2008 tech conference beginning at the Bangalore Palace grounds from November 6,2008.
N. Jayadeva, additional managing director of Karnataka Biotech and Information Technology Services of the Karnataka Government, told India Today that this year's edition will feature conferences and seminars on various IT verticals like telecom, cyber security, healthcare and even government's thrust on taking IT to the rural sectors.
The emphasis is on business and cyber security in the light of the increasing attempts to embrace technology by terrorists in India.
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa will open the event.
Yeddyurappa has said that he will like to emulate Modi's formula of development in his state, especially relevant after Karnataka fought hard to attract Ratan Tata's Nano project to his state which eventually drove to Gujarat, the partner state for the Bangalore tech show.
Famed guitarist Mexico-born Carlos Santana has been one of those who has endeared to the Indians not just because of the way he rendered top hits like Abraxas or Oye Como Va but also because of his closeness to Indian spirituality.
For a change, the Bangalore tech show will have a 50-member delegation from Mexico, the show's partner country. Mexico's minister for economy Gerardo Ruiz will be leading the team to explore tech opportunities in India.
"Indian software expertise has reached a new level," points out software hotshop Manthan Systems Managing Director Atul Jalan, "and Indian companies are at a level where they can offer their services to clients around the world."
Indian software exports have crossed thirty billion US dollars and the more than 6,000 units registered with Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) are hoping to push the figure beyond 50 billion dollars in three years.
STPI export awards will also be given away at the Bangalore IT.biz tech show.

Sixth Pay Commission: U'khand opposes raising VAT limit
The Uttarakhand finance department today said it was not in a position to concede the demand of the business community for increasing the threshold VAT limit from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 20 lakh.
The development comes a day after Chief Minister B C Khanduri assured the business community in Haldwani that he would look into their demand on sympathetic grounds, official sources said here today.
Indian Industry Association President Pankaj Gupta has also sought clarification from the chief minister whether any such move is being contemplated, saying the step would be “suicidal” for the economy of the hill state, which has meagre revenue resources.
Commenting on the chief minister’s reported statement, a top official said the threshold limit of Rs 5 lakh was in consonance with the national consensus on VAT. Any such increase would jeopardise the budget of the hill state, which is already reeling under the burden of the Sixth Pay Commission.
The Uttarakhand government recently decided to implement the new pay committee report that increases the salaries of its employees by 25 per cent and pensions by 40 per cent. The acceptance of the new wage report would put an extra burden of Rs 1,000 crore every year on the state exchequer. This year, the burden would be Rs 744 crore for salaries and Rs 284 crore for pensions.
“Since we are already reeling under huge financial burden, we will oppose any increase in VAT limit as and when the issue comes up,” said the official.
Meanwhile, Khanduri has also announced setting up of a new committee “Vyapar Mitra” to ensure better coordination between the business community and the government.
