Return of the iPhone 3.0 Direct Movie + TV Show Download Rumors!
Following that iPhone 3.0 would add movie and TV show direct, on-device downloads to the current music and audio and video podcast downloads, reports that they have:
…learned from people familiar with Apple’s training program that new self-guided training materials being distributed to familiarize AppleCare agents with the features of iPhone 3.0 software “definitely covered” the ability to directly download movies and TV shows on the device itself, rather than just syncing video content through iTunes.
And points out that “Apple never puts out product training this far ahead of a product launch.”
So what’s going on with that? We figure it’ll be Wi-Fi only, but could there be anything else going on here?

Sixth pay commission: EC implements pay commission proposals in Guj
Gandhinagar: The Election Commission (EC) has cleared the request of the Gujarat government to start giving pension to retired state employees in accordance with Central government's sixth pay commission recommendations.
The move will benefit nearly 3.13 lakh pensioners, even as it puts an extra Rs 650 crore burden on the state coffers. The government had to approach the EC as it failed to issue a government resolution (GR) for implementing the sixth pay panel for the state's pensioners before the electoral code of conduct came into force. In a marked contrast, it promptly issued a GR for state employees. BJP was on tenterhooks, as failure to implement new pension scales would have meant a setback during the
forthcoming polls.

Personal Quotes
I grew up sort of like a princess. I know that sounds awful, but I was the baby of the family. I had older brothers, so the
little girl always gets everything she wants. As I've gotten older, I've realized that if you want something bad enough, you
can have it. I've never gone after something I didn't get. Not yet.
It's great playing someone who is not like me at all. I'm really a nice girl, so it's fun to be a bitch, then come home and
be myself again. When I meet people now, they're surprised that I'm a good person.
I love the fact that we play people who are not like us at all and we can just go crazy at work and then be very normal after
filming.
I feel very lucky to work in the environment that I work in. I'm surrounded by people that I love and care about and who make
me laugh every day. I get to work with my friends and you really can't ask for more than that.
A lot of people are surprised by how nice I am. Summer and I are both driven, but I'm not snobby. I'm a pretty good
conversationalist and I like meeting new people.
I feel like you have to be who you are and be true to yourself first, always. You can't worry about how your're going to be
perceived by other people. I have a quote that my mom taught me: 'It's none of my business what other people think of me.'
"Josh Schwartz likes to dress me up. It's uncomfortable being in that Little Miss Vixen outfit for 17 hours, but it's fun as
long as you can make fun of yourself. That's key".
I kind of just take things one day at a time and do what I do and hope that I'm not known as Summer Roberts for the rest of
my life. But I'm grateful that she is known, and that I'm known for her, because it's really brought me everything.
It was like second nature in a way, because I was familiar with the sets and stuff and it wasn't like a strange world. It was
like all things in life: You try it and if it makes you happy, it sticks. (On starting professional acting.)
I feel pretty strongly about it, morally. It's not necessary to be exploited in that kind of way. I can't say that I'll never
do it, but I don't see a reason now, especially when you're still trying to establish yourself. It's just more important to
be known for your acting and that you're not willing to strip down for a scene. (On her refusal to film nude scenes.)
I hate it when people are like, 'How do you stay thin?' or 'Do you work out? What's your routine? What's your diet?' Then
it's like, 'If I tell you I don't, then are you going to give me a hard time?'

Miley Cyrus Loves Pilates and Billy Ray
Miley Cyrus Loves Pilates and Billy Ray
Offering up her signature peace sign, Miley Cyrus was spotted popping out of her Pilates class in Los Angeles on Friday (February 20).
The “Hannah Montana” starlet looked to be in high spirits, dressed casually in “Isle of Pink” sweats with a short-sleeved black top.
Meanwhile, Miley recently spoke up about being bothered by “people who think there’s something wrong with the bond between her and her dad, singer Billy Ray Cyrus.”
“The media has said some stuff about my dad and me being too close and too cuddly for a father and a daughter. For me and my dad it’s not weird at all,” the 16-year-old penned in her new memoir “Miles to Go”.
Written with Hilary Liftin, Cyrus’ memoir is all set to be published next month by Disney-Hyperion Books.

Freida Pinto: Diva in the Making
Fresh off of a pre-Oscar party the previous night, Freida Pinto looked to be soaking up every minute of her newfound stardom as she returned to her Los Angeles hotel on Friday (February 20).
With a Jimmy Choo bag under her arm and an Oscars access pass around her neck, the elegant 24-year-old was all smiles as she exited her limo, appropriately tagged with a “Diva 37” license plate.
Meanwhile, it has just been reported that Freida will be joined at Sunday’s Academy Awards by all of her fellow “Slumdog Millionaire” actors who play the three main characters in three stages of their lives, including the children from India.
“I’m very happy that I’m going to the Oscars,” 9-year-old “Slumdog” star Rubina Ali told press just hours before leaving for the States. “My friends are saying, ‘Your fate is so good.’” (celebrity-gossip.net)

Chris Brown hires Paris Hilton's spin doctor
Chris Brown hires Paris Hilton's spin doctor
Washington (ANI): Singer Chris Brown has chosen Paris Hilton’s spin doctor Mike Sitrick to get him out the Rihanna mess, which began after he allegedly attacked her leaving her with horrific injuries. However, Brown’s choice of hiring Mike has
added fuel to the rumors claiming that it was actually Hilton who sent a text to him, before he had an argument with Rihanna over the message, which finally led to his assault on her.
Rihanna was allegedly attacked by Brown, after the duo had a heated argument over a text message from other woman, reports Fox News. Rihanna was left with a split lip, a bloody nose, and bite marks on her hands after the attack. Although brown has
not yet been proved guilty of his crime, he has been facing flak from many celebrities and Rihanna fans, as many radio-stations have pulled out his songs from their play list following protests from fans.

Jason Wu
Jason Wu (designer)
Jason Wu (born in Taipei, Taiwan) is a Manhattan-based American fashion designer. He began learning how to sew as a 9-year old in Vancouver by designing and sewing for dolls, and went on to study sculpture in Tokyo. He decided he wanted to be a fashion designer while spending his senior year of high school in Paris. He enrolled in Parsons The New School for Design and interned with Narciso Rodriguez. His first full collection debuted in 2006 and won the Fashion Group International's Rising
Star award in 2008. First Lady Michelle Obama wore one of Wu's dresses for a segment on Barbara Walters Special right before the election, prompting many in the media to consider Obama his "career-launcher". She also wore a custom-designed, elaborate, one-shoulder, floor-length white chiffon Wu gown at the inaugural balls, the night of President Barack Obama's inauguration. (wikipedia.org)
Jason has been a professional photographer for over 18 years. He began his career by studying with and working for Master Photographer Edmond Lee of San Francisco for several years. Since then, he has established his own studio specializing in portraiture, as well as wedding and children's photography. Jason is known for his passion in capturing feelings and expressions in each portrait that he creates.

Bhati Airtel launches IPTV services
Bharti Airtel on Monday became the first private player to launch its IPTV services under the brand—Airtel Digital Television interactive.
IPTV services provides television content through broadband connection. " We will now be able to offer a single knock on the door experience with our triple play services through which Airtel will deliver voice, broadband and TV and video
entertainment," said Bharti Airtel Telemedia services president Atul Bindal.
The customer would have to pay Rs 3999 as one time activation charges. The company has come with two price points for IPTV subscribers: Rs 999 per month for 135 channels, a broadband connection and a landline connection. The other package is for Rs 599 per month which comes bundled with 117 channels and a broadband connection. The company will offer a single bill for all these three services.
The service has been launched for the NCR region. " Unlike DTH service which is mass-based, IPTV service is targeted at the 7-8 metro cities," he said. The company will soon launch in Mumbai and Bangalore in a phased manner.
Mr Bindal said the company would leverage on the existing Airtel customer base to drive the penetration of DTH and IPTV services.

Sixth pay commission: Employees threaten stir
Srinagar, Jan 18: The Jammu and Kashmir Employees Joint Action Committee has threatened to go on agitation against the government if the administration did not implement the sixth pay commission recommendations immediately.
“We are ready for dialogue with the Joint Action Consultative Committee or any other committee formed by the government.

Barack Obama Hair cut
Barack Obama Hair cut
Bangaloreans think OBAMA’S crew cut is above the rest
Dipannita Das| TNN
While history was made in the United States on Tuesday, style statements, namely the crew cut sported by a certain Barack Hussein Obama, emerged as a new fad among Bangaloreans.
The Obama cut is fast edging out the Ghajini look among youngsters — a little more hair, and there you are!
Parlours across the city said customers, especially youngsters (collegegoing and young professionals), were opting for the ‘Obama cut’.
Sameer Khan, a hairdresser who owns a parlour in Shivajinagar, said he had already liberally used his scissors on three customers, asking for a cut like that of the new American President.
“They specifically asked for the Obama cut. I had to check a catalogue, and after studying a photograph of Barack Obama, I cut their hair,” he said.
Celebrated hairstylist Javed Habib, who has salons all over the country, said, “There isn’t a big difference between the Obama and Ghajini cuts. The only difference is that the Ghajini look is a tighter cut and there are two lines, vertical and horizontal, running through. A short haircut typifies a certain hardness of character, which is essential in leadership roles.”
Parlours in Bangalore are bracing for more requests after the Presidential swearing-in
ceremony in Washington on Tuesday.
The ‘Obama cut’ tops the popular vote among the fairer sex with some of them urging their boyfriends to shear their locks. “My boyfriend has long hair,” says Roshni Rajgopal, a 22-year-old media professional. “I want him to go for the ‘Obama cut’. It’s neat and it also has a toughness about it.”
The no-nonsense crew cut was popularised by the military. Today, the short crop has many variations — surfer, mohawk, buzz, and bowl — which range from sporty to smart to soft.
However, it’s the age of ‘whatever works, dude’. So, a walk down Bangalore’s popular streets will give you the entire range of haircuts — short, long, shoulder-length, emo (or the punk cut), and even no hair.

It’s a custom cut, customized for him. I did create the cut. We simplified it and we called it the ‘Obama’ — Zariff, President-elect Barack Obama’s barber and owner of Hyde Park Hair Salon and Barber Shop in Chicago. (FROM ‘THE SACRAMENTO BEE’)

Being the first Black President, Obama is going to be a legend. What he will do as President is something we’ll have to wait and watch.

Inauguration speech: Barack Obama calls for return to 'old truths'
Barack Obama today called on Americans to embrace a "new era of responsibility" and work with courage and selflessness to guide the United States through the economic crisis and back to a position of global leadership.
In an inspirational inaugural address after being sworn in as the 44th President of the United States, Mr Obama told the nation: "Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and begin again the work of remaking America."
He portrayed the United States as a country built on the sacrifice and hard work of immigrants, pioneers and slaves and said that a similar sense of sacrifice was called for now.
"For as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation relies," Mr Obama said from the steps of the Capitol as an estimated two million watched in sub-zero temperatures.
"It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest hours," Mr Obama added. "It is the fire-fighter’s courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent’s willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate.
"Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends - hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism - these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history.
"What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility - a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.
"This is the price and the promise of citizenship. This is the source of our confidence - the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny. This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed - why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent mall and why a man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath."
Before his speech, as he took the 35-word oath of office, Mr Obama stumbled, mixing up the words as his wife watched on, smiling broadly.
But he was soon back to his oratorical best as he delivered an inaugural speech likely to go down in history not just for the fact that it was delivered by a black man, but for its stirring call to arms in the face of economic and geopolitical crises.
Mr Obama began by saying that his 43 predecessors as president had delivered their inaugural speeches "during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace" but also, occasionally, "amidst gathering clouds and raging storms".
He said: "That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.
"These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that America’s decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.
"Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America - they will be met."
Spelling out the broad lines of his recovery plan, he continued: "We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished.
"But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions - that time has surely passed.
"For everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act - not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place and wield technology’s wonders to raise health care’s quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do."
Mr Obama also took care to reach out to the world beyond and promise a more inclusive foreign policy.
"We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan," he said. "With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the spectre of a warming planet.
"We will not apologise for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defence and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.
"For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus - and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.
"To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society’s ills on the West - know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.
"To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world’s resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it."

Abraham Lincoln Biography
Abraham Lincoln Biography (1809 - 1865)
(born February 12, 1809, near Hodgenville, Kentucky, U.S.—died April 15, 1865, Washington, D.C.) 16th president of the United States (1861–65), who preserved the Union during the American Civil War and brought about the emancipation of the slaves. (For a discussion of the history and nature of the presidency, presidency of the United States of America. Cabinet of President Abraham Lincoln.)
Among American heroes, Lincoln continues to have a unique appeal for his fellow countrymen and also for people of other lands. This charm derives from his remarkable life story—the rise from humble origins, the dramatic death—and from his distinctively human and humane personality as well as from his historical role as saviour of the Union and emancipator of the slaves. His relevance endures and grows especially because of his eloquence as a spokesman for democracy. In his view, the Union was worth saving not only for its own sake but because it embodied an ideal, the ideal of self-government. In recent years, the political side to Lincoln's character, and his racial views in particular, have come under close scrutiny, as scholars continue to find him a rich subject for research. The Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., was dedicated to him on May 30, 1922.
Life
Born in a backwoods cabin 3 miles (5 km) south of Hodgenville, Kentucky, Lincoln was two years old when he was taken to a farm in the neighbouring valley of Knob Creek. His earliest memories were of this home and, in particular, of a flash flood that once washed away the corn and pumpkin seeds he had helped his father plant. His father, Thomas Lincoln, was the descendant of a weaver's apprentice who had migrated from England to Massachusetts in 1637. Though much less prosperous than some of his Lincoln forebears, Thomas was a sturdy pioneer. On June 12, 1806, he married Nancy Hanks. The Hanks genealogy is difficult to trace, but Nancy appears to have been of illegitimate birth. She has been described as “stoop-shouldered, thin-breasted, sad,” and fervently religious. Thomas and Nancy Lincoln had three children: Sarah, Abraham, and Thomas, who died in infancy.
Childhood and youth
In December 1816, faced with a lawsuit challenging the title to his Kentucky farm, Thomas Lincoln moved with his family to southwestern Indiana. There, as a squatter on public land, he hastily put up a “half-faced camp”—a crude structure of logs and boughs with one side open to the weather—in which the family took shelter behind a blazing fire. Soon he built a permanent cabin, and later he bought the land on which it stood. Abraham helped to clear the fields and to take care of the crops but early acquired a dislike for hunting and fishing. In afteryears he recalled the “panther's scream,” the bears that “preyed on the swine,” and the poverty of Indiana frontier life, which was “pretty pinching at times.” The unhappiest period of his boyhood followed the death of his mother in the autumn of 1818. As a ragged nine-year-old, he saw her buried in the forest, then faced a winter without the warmth of a mother's love. Fortunately, before the onset of a second winter, Thomas Lincoln brought home from Kentucky a new wife for himself, a new mother for the children. Sarah Bush Johnston Lincoln, a widow with two girls and a boy of her own, had energy and affection to spare. She ran the household with an even hand, treating both sets of children as if she had borne them all; but she became especially fond of Abraham, and he of her. He afterward referred to her as his “angel mother.”

Barack Obama sworn in as new president of the United States
Barack Obama sworn in as new president of the United States
Barack Obama was sworn in as America's 44th president today in front of an estimated two million people who flooded central Washington for a distant view of history.
But even as he arrived at Capitol Hill in an armoured limousine with his predecessor George W Bush, US security agencies were urgently investigating a potential threat against him from an East African terror group.
According to a joint bulletin from the FBI and Homeland Security, US intelligence officials had received information that people associated with a Somalia-based Islamic terror group might try to travel to the US with plans to disrupt Inauguration Day.
The alert said that US counter-terror officials have grown concerned in recent months about the threat posed by the militant al-Shabaab group and a cell of US-based Somali sympathizers who have traveled to their homeland to "fight alongside Islamic insurgents".
But Russ Knocke, a Homeland Security spokesman, said: "This information is of limited specificity and uncertain credibility... As always, we remind the public to be both thoughtful and vigilant about their surroundings, and to notify authorities of any suspicious activity."
Unaware of the threat, hundreds of thousands of people began arriving in central Washington from before dawn for a distant view of history and the right to say 'I was there' when America's first black president was sworn in.
Vast crowds braving freezing cold crammed into the National Mall and mobbed streets leading onto the central thoroughfare, clogging up the Washington metro system and roads into the city centre more than five hours ahead of the handover.
After attending a church service this morning, Mr Obama and his wife, Michelle, arrived at the White House at 10am (1500GMT) for a courtesy call and a final cup of coffee with President and Mrs Bush.
He then travelled with Mr Bush to Congress to prepare for his inauguration shortly before noon (1700GMT) appearing on the steps of the Capitol about 15 minutes earlier to vast cheers from the crowd and the chant 'Obama! Obama!'
The inauguration took place amid unprecedented security. About 8,000 police were deployed and a total of 32,000 military personnel are either on duty or on standby.
The Secret Service launched its final security sweep of downtown Washington at 3am. An hour later special Metro trains were already filled to capacity and darkened roads into the city were packed with traffic.
The final crowd figure was anyone's guess, but it was expected to dwarf that for all previous presidential inaugurations, including the 1.2 million who attended Lyndon Johnson's swearing-in in 1965.
Mr Bush departs from office with the lowest approval ratings of any US president and leave his successor two foreign wars and an economy crippled by the credit crunch. Mr Obama's most potent weapon will be the vast fund of goodwill he enjoys both in the United States and overseas.
Yesterday, Mr Obama paid tribute to Martin Luther King on the holiday which marks the birth of the slain civil rights leader.
"We will come together as one people on the same mall where Dr King’s dream echoes still," Mr Obama said, in a nod to the transformative 'I have a dream' speech that King delivered from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963.
"As we do, we recognise that here in America, our destinies are inextricably linked. We resolve that as we walk, we must walk together. And as we go forward in the work of renewing the promise of this nation, let’s remember King’s lesson: that our separate dreams are really one."
Unknown on the national stage before an appearance at the Democratic Convention of 2004, Mr Obama, 47, was propelled to the presidency on the back of his own skill as an orator, allied with an unflappability and strategic conviction that enabled him to see off Hillary Clinton in a bruising campaign for the party's nomination.
His oratorical skills were to be on display again in a 17-minute inaugural speech that is expected to stress the themes of shared responsibility, echoing John F Kennedy's famous plea 28 years ago today: "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country".
Mr Obama took the oath of office on a Bible used by his political hero, Abraham Lincoln, at his first inauguration in 1861. His swearing-in will be followed by the U.S. Marine Corps band playing "Hail to the Chief" and a 21-gun salute.

Dipika Pallikal goes down fighting in Asian Junior squash
Dipika Pallikal goes down fighting in Asian Junior squash
India’s Dipika Pallikal, the second seed, blew two match points as she went down to arch-rival Low Wee Wern of Malaysia in five games in the girls singles final of the 14th Asian Junior squash championship at the ICL Academy courts, here Monday.
The top seeded Wern won the 49-minute encounter 11-5, 8-11, 11-9, 9-11, 12-10.
final, second seed Ivan Yuen of Malaysia overcame top seeded Leo Au of Hong Kong 11-6, 6-11, 11-8, 11-4.
While Dipika, ranked 50 in the world, matched her Malaysian rival stroke for stroke and at times even looked the better among the two, she was unable to finish off the contest when she was ahead in the fourth game.
Dipika showed far more variety in her game, but some errors at critical juncture helped Wern, ranked 42nd, to escape from the jaws of a certain defeat.
The match looked a repeat of British Open junior final, where the two had met last.
Earlier, Dipika, after losing the first game, came back strongly to go 5-0 up in the second and went on to level at 1-1.
It was touch-and-go thereafter with Wern winning the third game and Dipika the fourth with both players being prone to errors.
Meanwhile, the preliminary rounds of the team championship commenced Monday. The final will be held Jan 23.

Announcement of Sixth Pay Commission
Announcement of Sixth Pay Commission
While the Sixth Pay Commission favours government employees, a pay hike for them leads to non-government employees facing a lot of problems. A simple peon gets Rs. 7000 but daily labourers remain where they were.
THE SIXTH Pay Commission declares that the salary of government employees has increased. Now it is a debatable question that is it right or wrong? I thought it is a wrong decision because of this the non-government employees are faced a lot of problems. Because of this the government employees are getting a salary of not less than Rs. 7000 but in that case, daily laborers or a businessman cannot get a proportionate amount.
A simple peon also gets Rs. 7000 but daily labourers remain where they were. So the dream of a secular country is vague in this context, because rich are becoming richer and poor are becoming poorer. The maximum amount of the country’s money is with the upper classes of the people. Upper section because the government employees are considered as powerful and respected in society, whereas the number or percentage of government employees are less in society and they affect the total system. Like when the price of commodities increases it is not a big deal for government employees but it is a big problem for the rest of the people in society. So the common men have to manage with a limited budget.
A simple example -- in a marriage function of a government employee who can afford to give a grand party, the price rate suddenly increases and they get the vegetable from the market. So after that if a common man goes to the market to buy something they get nothing or if they get something than it is at a high rate. Again in the feast the extra amount or the food left by the guests on their plates would be sufficient for a common man. So a large amount of food is wasted because they can afford to buy all this and this is because they get a good salary. Why are they paid this much? Is it because they are doing their duty properly? If they are doing their duty correctly then its ok but it is not so.
An example; in a sub-collector’s office the employees reach office at around 10:30 am or 11am go home for a lunch break before time but came back at around 3 or 3:30 pm and the office closes at 5pm. So why are they paid so much.
Recently in schools the fees have increased because of the decision of the Sixth Pay Commission. So who will benefit from this declaration? The government should reconsider because India is not only peoples by rich sections but also vast sections of the poor.

Sixth Pay Commission: BJP asks J&K govt to implement 6th pay panel report
Sixth Pay Commission: BJP asks J&K govt to implement 6th pay panel report
Jammu (PTI): The BJP on Tuesday demanded that the National Conference (NC) led coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir should pay heed to the demands of government employees and immediately implement the recommendations of the 6th Pay Commission.
"The NC-led coalition government is turning a blind eye to the demands of employees. We ask the government to immediately implement the 6th Pay Commission recommendations and fulfil their demands," BJP's legislative party leader Chaman Lal Gupta told reporters here on Tuesday.
The employees have been agitating on this issue for the past several months and leaders of both the Congress and NC had promised during electioneering that they would implement the pay panel recommendations if voted to power, he said.
"But now despite coming to power they are keeping mum thereby causing mounting discontent among the employees," the saffron leader said.
He recalled that even the previous Congress government of Ghulab Nabi Azad had given the impression while presenting the state budget that the pay panel recommendations would be implemented and adequate funds would be allocated for the purpose.
There are several other issues such as poor supply of electricity and water that the government should address immediately, he added.

Indian Railways make big bucks with Tatkal Seva
Indian Railways make big bucks with Tatkal Seva
BANGALORE: The Indian Railways - that gigantic organization that forms an integral part of the country's economic and social support system - is In the South Western Railways' Bangalore Division alone, the scheme is a major favourite with passengers.
Statistics show that despite the limited number of Tatkal seats, in every consecutive month, along three major lines, the number of tickets in demand and those issued has always been higher, in some cases, almost double.
This, railways officials explain, is because when it comes to issuing tickets to those in the waiting list, passengers in the Tatkal waiting list are given first preference over general passengers. Tatkal tickets are available, at an additional fee, to passengers five days before the day of the journey.
South Western Railways charges Rs 150 for a sleeper class Tatkal ticket and Rs 200 additional fee, more than the actual fare, for 2nd class and 3rd classA/C coach.
Though the additional charges vary as per the peak season, officials add that there is a proposal to make the Tatkal fees uniform throughout the year. The peak season of April, May and June, including a bit of the Dasara rush, is when the railways
see the highest demand for this service. Bangalore divisional railway manager Akhil Agrawal said the Karnataka Express that runs between Bangalore and New Delhi, is almost always booked completely.
In December 2008 alone, the seats confirmed under tatkal scheme were over 7,900, while the numbers of tickets available were a wee bit over 6,900 under the sleeper class alone. riding high on the revenue accrued through the Tatkal Seva scheme.
The railways make a tidy penny out of the service. Last year, the revenuegenerated from Tatkal scheme alone was over Rs 300 crore all over the country. Bangalore gets a fair chunk of it too. Several complaints of discrepancies and passengers being
left in the lurch continue to make some noise. But the tatkal scheme continues to be that last resort to millions of rail travellers.

Sixth Pay Commission: Rs 500 fee hike irks Delhi pvt schools
Sixth Pay Commission: Rs 500 fee hike irks Delhi pvt schools
NEW DELHI: Parents could end up having to pay more than the Rs 500 hike in fees for private schools recommended by the Bansal Committee, which submitted its report to the Delhi government on Tuesday. The schools have unanimously said the proposed hike is too little and have threatened to move court if the recommendation is implemented.
Many private schools are demanding that they be allowed to hike fees by 50% to meet the increase of 40%-50% in the salary of teachers as per the Sixth Pay Commission. The schools are also seeking the government's approval to charge Rs 8,000 per student for arrears to teachers, which is far more than the limit of Rs 4,500 set the committee which went into the issue.
"Putting a cap of Rs 500 on the fee hike has no rationale. Thankfully, it is only a recommendation as of now. But if the government ends up considering it, we may even move the court. We cannot implement the provisions of the Sixth Pay Commission unless we hike the school fees enough," said S K Bhattacharya, president, School Action Committee (SAC) ^ a body of all the school organizations in the capital.
The seven-member Bansal Committee was constituted by the city government to recommend a suitable fee hike in private schools which would enable them to bring the salaries of their staff on a par with the Sixth Pay Commission bands. Bhattacharya said SAC had worked out the required fee hike to be 50% as the increase in teachers' salaries, with effect from September 1, 2008, might be to the tune of 70%. The hike in salary will also be applicable to the non-teaching staff in the school.
The Bansal Committee has recommended slabs for different schools, which amounts to less hikes for bigger schools like DPS. Vinay Kumar, principal, DPS, Vasant Kunj said, "We are a big school but that doesn't mean we don't require to hike the fees. We have 200 regular teachers and 4,000 students. The minimum fee hike we require is between Rs 800 and Rs 1000. The arrear per child works out to be Rs 16,000."
Kumar said the government can't have it both ways. "They cannot ask us to not hike the fees suitably while telling us to increase the salary of teachers."
Ameeta Mulla Wattal, principal, Springdales School, Pusa Road said that her school will be run in a deficit if the fee-hike is capped at Rs 500. "If this hike is approved, we will have to stop all building development programmes, community programmes over the next two years. We may also pay staggered amount to our teachers as arrears over a longer period of time," said Wattal.
Though the government has now appointed a sub-committee to work out the technical aspects of the Bansal Committee report, schools say the move will only waste time. "Arrears are mounting. How will we afford it? The government should take a decision fast," said S L Jain, chairperson, National Progressive Schools' Conference.
Wattal agreed, "Besides arrears, Class XII is soon going to move out and the new nursery class will be coming in. A decision has to be taken this session itself. If the government had to go about the entire matter again by a making a sub-committee now, what good was the Bansal Committee?" Wattal said.
Schools say classifying schools into different categories doesn't seem feasible as this would take a long time to accomplish. Bansal Committee itself had taken two extra months to decide on the recommendations after talking to the representatives of several schools and also parents. "Now the sub-committee will probably have to do a survey or receive a proforma from schools to fix the hike for every school. It will be a lengthy process," said L V Sehgal, principal, Bal Bharti School, Ganga Ram Hospital Marg.

The hike in salary will also be applicable to the non-teaching staff in the school.
The Bansal Committee has recommended slabs for different schools, which amounts to less hikes for bigger schools like DPS. Vinay Kumar, principal, DPS, Vasant Kunj said, "We are a big school but that doesn't mean we don't require to hike the fees. We have 200 regular teachers and 4,000 students. The minimum fee hike we require is between Rs 800 and Rs 1000. The arrear per child works out to be Rs 16,000."
Kumar said the government can't have it both ways. "They cannot ask us to not hike the fees suitably while telling us to increase the salary of teachers."
Ameeta Mulla Wattal, principal, Springdales School, Pusa Road said that her school will be run in a deficit if the fee-hike is capped at Rs 500. "If this hike is approved, we will have to stop all building development programmes, community programmes over the next two years. We may also pay staggered amount to our teachers as arrears over a longer period of time," said Wattal.
Though the government has now appointed a sub-committee to work out the technical aspects of the Bansal Committee report, schools say the move will only waste time. "Arrears are mounting. How will we afford it? The government should take a decision fast," said S L Jain, chairperson, National Progressive Schools' Conference.
Wattal agreed, "Besides arrears, Class XII is soon going to move out and the new nursery class will be coming in. A decision has to be taken this session itself. If the government had to go about the entire matter again by a making a sub-committee now, what good was the Bansal Committee?" Wattal said.
Schools say classifying schools into different categories doesn't seem feasible as this would take a long time to accomplish. Bansal Committee itself had taken two extra months to decide on the recommendations after talking to the representatives of several schools and also parents. "Now the sub-committee will probably have to do a survey or receive a proforma from schools to fix the hike for every school. It will be a lengthy process," said L V Sehgal, principal, Bal Bharti School, Ganga Ram Hospital Marg.

Sixth Pay Commission: Bardhan urges Nitish to hold talks with striking staff
Sixth Pay Commission: Bardhan urges Nitish to hold talks with striking staff
PATNA: CPI general secretary A B Bardhan appealed to the Nitish Kumar government to take proper initiative to hold dialogue with the striking employees to end the 10-day indefinite strike of the non-gazetted employees, secretariat staff and fourth
grade employees.
The indefinite strike began on January 7, demanding implementation of the Central Sixth Pay Commission recommendations. In between, the finance department officials held talks with associations of employees which had not gone on strike.
Bardhan said that the government should enter into dialogue with the representatives of striking employees and accede to their demands. "Their demand is simple. They want cent per cent implementation of the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations,"
Bardhan said.
According to him, several states had implemented it. CPI parliamentary party leader Gurudas Das Gupta, who, along with CPI state secretary Badri Narayan Lal, accompanied Bardhan, said that the West Bengal government had also been holding talks with the employees. "Why not Bihar?" Bardhan asked, adding: "We have never said that Bihar should always remain behind. In some matters, Bihar should be ahead."
Later, Das Gupta, who is also the general secretary of All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), addressed the rally of the Bihar State Road Transport Corporation Employees' Federation held on the premises of the State Transport Corporation. Das
Gupta said that the demands of the transport corporation employees were genuine, and, therefore, the government should implement the order of Supreme Court with regard to their demands.

Sixth Pay Commission: EJCC Calls for Pen-Down Strike on Jan 28
Sixth Pay Commission: EJCC Calls for Pen-Down Strike on Jan 28
Srinagar, Jan 17, KONS: State government employees have called for a one-day pen-down strike on January 28 to press for their demands, including the implementation of the 6th Pay Commission recommendations and enhancement of the retirement age to 60.
The decision was announced simultaneously in Jammu and Srinagar by functionaries of the Employees Joint Consultative Committee (EJCC), a union of government employees’ organizations.
EJCC leaders, including heads of both factions of the Employees Joint Action Committee (EJAC), called an emergency press conference in Jammu today accusing the state government of not fulfilling their demands despite repeated assurances, and not taking any initiative in this direction.
The union leaders said that they had held several rounds of talks with the government and on every occasion had been assured of serious dispensation of their demands, but nothing practical had been done so far.
They said that even the governor, N. N Vohra, had promised that employees’ issues would be solved once the new government took over.
“But even after the new dispensation having taken office, there has been no headway in our demands,” they said.
The five demands the employees front has put before the government include the implementation of the 6th Pay Commission recommendations, removing the pay disparities in state government employees, enhancing the retirement age to 60 from 58, increasing the wages of daily-wagers and other temporary employees, releasing COLA for public sector employees.
Calling for a pen-down strike on January 28, the employees’ leaders have threatened an indefinite shutdown thereafter if their demands are not met.
Employee leaders in Srinagar, too, have endorsed the strike call, saying that the EJAC would abide by the programme of the employees’ platform.
