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

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
this financial year.

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.


He said that keeping in view the interest of the employees the Government had made the ex-gratia scheme more effective for

their dependents. This scheme would provide financial security besides giving social security to the employees.
