Tension grips T region as KCR gears up for fast-unto-death
PTI 29 November 2009, 01:50am IST

HYDERABAD: Tension gripped regions in Telangana on Saturday ahead of the proposed fast-unto-death by TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao demanding immediate grant of statehood for the region even as security was beefed up to thwart any untoward incidents

Rao is scheduled to start his fast on Sunday in his home town Siddipet in Medak district.

Alleging that the state government was using repressive methods to thwart his proposed agitation, the TRS chief said chief minister K Rosaiah would be held responsible for any eventuality. “You (Rosaiah) can’t stuff food into my mouth and break my fast. We have seen enough so far and we shall not cow down any longer” the former Union minister said in an angry tone even as police apprehended scores of party workers in different districts of the region for canvassing support for his fast.

Meanwhile, prohibitory orders under section 144 CRPC have been clamped in Karimnagar where Rao is currently camping. A large posse of police personnel virtually laid siege to TRS Bhavan in Karimnagar where Rao was closeted in a meeting with his party leaders. There were indications that the police may place the leader under house arrest in Karimnagar itself and prevent him from reaching Siddipet.

Six IPS officials and hundreds of policemen have been moved to Siddipet, Karimnagar and other places in Telangana for maintaining law and order with intelligence inputs indicating that the TRS cadre may resort to violence.

“We have put everything in place to ensure that the situation does not go out of hands. Our focus is on preventing violence in view of the threat issued by the TRS,” a top IPS official overseeing the operation said.

Hello, and welcome to the MIM blog!  My name is Patrick Dedrick, and I am one of the three student ambassadors for the program for this year’s cohort.  Before we dive right into some of the particulars of the program that this blog is intended to provide, the three of us thought it’d be nice to give some self-introductions, to give potential students an idea of exactly what kind of people apply for the MIM, what kind of academic and professional background we’ve had prior to the program and where they see the MIM taking them in the future.

I finished my undergraduate work from Pacific University in 2008, with a major in Anthropology and International Studies and a minor in Japanese, and as soon as graduation was over, all I could focus on was the fact that this was the end of the academic road for me, and that I would never have to worry about another piece of homework again.  Well, I rode that feeling for some time, and settled into a great job at a winery in Carlton, Oregon, where I worked in the tasting room and was eventually given the responsibilities that often befit a tasting room manager.  While I was having fun, learning about wine, and meeting great people, I couldn’t help but feel that I didn’t belong in that setting just yet, and began to look for graduate programs that would allow me to build on my newly inculcated interest in business and my previous experience with the Japanese language.  I spent long hours scanning the internet for programs and degrees that fit my specifications… and I came up empty handed, time after time.  I remember distinctly, sitting down to my computer on what I vowed would be my last search effort for a program that I genuinely wanted to apply for, before I resigned myself to applying to a program that I felt was malleable enough to meet my needs.  Needless to say, the Masters of International Management program came up in the search results, and I couldn’t be happier for it today – it is the perfect program for my interests, and truly one of a kind in the opportunities and experiences that it has to offer.

We’ve only just finished the bulk of our first quarter, and I’m more excited about the MIM than I have ever been.  The academics are challenging, interesting, and pertinent to business in an international setting.  The location in Downtown Portland is ideal for developing a very real relationship with the city.  Being an Oregon native, I’m finding myself getting to know Portland in an entirely new way, living right in the heart of it, on campus.  But the most rewarding aspect of the program has been the people.  Adam spoke briefly of this in his post Wednesday, but I have to mirror the sentiment – that the people really are what make the MIM so special.  I’ve gotten to know people from all over the world, and have made friendships in the past three months that I consider to be life-long.  And while this is largely due to the people in the program, these modes for friendship are facilitated by the program, with activities like a mandatory four day camping trip in Eastern Oregon, complete with rock climbing, canoeing, and white water rafting.  So far, my experience with the MIM has shown me that the program is committed not only to providing a quality academic experience in a specialized field but also to giving students the tools and resources they need to network and build lasting relationships that are meaningful in both their personal and professional lives.

The other ambassadors, Adam, Austin, and myself would like to encourage readers to participate in this blog, with questions that they may have – or any one of us can be reached at the askmim@pdx.edu email.  I look forward to passing on my experiences in the program through this blog, and would be more than happy to help prospective applicants any way possible.

Telugu Desam gains in GHMC polls
Special Correspondent, The Hindu 27 November 2009

Congress suffers setback

HYDERABAD: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections threw up a fractured verdict in the 150-member council, with none of the political parties in the arena crossing the magical half-figure mark.

The ruling Congress suffered a setback by winning just 52 seats, though it contested all the 150 divisions, while the main Opposition Telugu Desam staged a comeback by bagging 45 divisions out of the 141 it contested. The MIM bastions in the old city remained impregnable with the party bagging 43 divisions out of 70 it contested.
It was a dismal show for other political parties. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which spared no effort to regain its lost glory had to satisfy itself with a tally of five seats, though it put up candidates in 137 divisions. The face-saving solitary win for actor Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam came from Old Bowenpally, though it fielded candidates in 64 divisions.

Despite the fractured verdict, the ruling Congress is poised to get its Mayoral candidate elected with the help of ex-officio members (MPs of Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, MLAs and MLCs) in the indirect elections slated to be held on December 4. Congress leaders attributed the TDP’s haul to the backing it received from Andhra settlers in the twin cities as a reaction to the threats held out against them by the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS). APCC chief D. Srinivas described it as a ‘conspiracy`

Fissures in the Congress bastions in the capital and its surroundings have now come into sharp focus in the first-ever elections it fought after the demise of Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy. The 150 divisions fall in 24 Assembly segments out of which 13 are held by the ruling party, seven by MIM, one each by the BJP, TDP and Lok Satta, while a Congress rebel got elected from one constituency.

Telugu Desam fared better on the outskirts and managed to make a dent in the Congress-held Assembly segments. Notably, it bagged seven out of eight divisions in LB Nagar represented by Congress MLA D. Sudhir Reddy, while in Home Minister Sabita Indra Reddy’s Maheshwaram segment, it bagged both divisions.

Minister Mukesh Goud’s Maharajgunj segment elected four Congress candidates, while conceding two to MIM, one each to BJP and TDP. Similarly in Malkajgiri, it bagged four out of eight divisions, three out of seven in Uppal, three out of five in Serilingampally, three out of seven each in Jubilee Hills and Sanathnagar. The only segment to elect all the six ruling party candidates was Secunderabad, represented by first-time MLA Jayasudha Kapoor.

A view of the Charminar in Hyderabad on Thursday. The ruling Congress party and the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) were ahead in the Hyderabad civic polls with the opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) trailing in third position

 Andhra Pradesh’s ruling Congress party and the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) were on Thursday ahead in the Hyderabad civic polls with the opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) trailing in third position.

Counting of votes for the election held Monday began at 8 am. The Congress had won 17 seats and was leading in 11 while the MIM had bagged 15 seats and was ahead in four. The TDP was at third place with 10 seats and leading in four.

About 43 per cent of 5.7 million voters had cast their votes in the elections for the 150-member Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC).

Though the Congress and the MIM do not have an alliance, they are likely to enter into a post-poll agreement for election of mayor and deputy mayor to be held on December 4.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has so far won only one seat and is leading in another. The Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) of actor-turned-politician Chiranjeevi and Lok Satta floated by former bureaucrat Jayaprakash Narayan are yet to open their account.

This is the first test of strength for the political parties after the April-May elections to the State Assembly and the Lok Sabha. The elections also come in a changed political scenario following the September 2 death of former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy in a helicopter crash.

This is the first municipal election after Greater Hyderabad was created in 2007 after merging eight municipalities and 12 villages of neighbouring districts with Hyderabad.

This has made Greater Hyderabad the second biggest urban agglomerate in the country after New Delhi in terms of area (621.48 sq. km).

The last election to the Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad (MCH) was held in 2002. The TDP, which was in power in the State, had won a majority of the seats in the then 100-member body in alliance with the BJP. The TDP candidate was elected mayor in the direct elections held to the post.

This time the newly-elected corporators and ex-officio members (State legislators and MPs) will elect the mayor

AM:  I didn’t know you were left-handed?
T: After our conversation the other day,  I would’ve  told you if I were! I’m right-handed; I just eat left-handed, cos my Mim does.
AM: Oh, okay.
T (mimes strangling): AM, I’m going to muuurder you!

Sadece anne bazı sorular sormuş, hazır miniş uyurken cevaplayayım dedim.

Hızlıca…

1.Kavanoz mamaları ve Aptamil serisi hakkında düşünceleriniz neler?

Organik meyve içerikli mamaları zorda kalınca (yolculuk vs) kullanabilirim ama formül mamaya karşı mesafeliyim açıkçası.
2.Bu sebze çorbasının içeriğini ne zaman genişlettiniz? Yeşillkler ne zaman eklendi? Bizimki patates, havuç ve pirinçten ibaret..

2 hafta normal sebze çorbası verdikten sonra içine her hafta yeni bir sebze eklememi söyledi teyzemin arkadaşı olan şeker çocuk doktoru. Ben ilk kabak ekledim. Burda her sebzeyi kolay temin edemediğim için hala kabak var çorbada ekstra olarak. Taze ıspanak bulabilirsem ıspanak, sonrasında karnıbakarla devam etmeyi planladım. Yalnız karnıbahar gaz yapabilir diyordu doktorcan. Bi de ben sebze çorbasına 1 tatlı kaşığı da irmik koyuyorum. Bunu hem bana mail atan sevgili Anne Kardeş hem de doktorumuz söylemişti.
3.Yoğurdu siz mi yaptınız, aldıysanız ne aldınız?

Yoğurdu ben inek sütünden ekşi olmayacak şekilde mayalıyorum.
4.Gece tahıllı vereyim diyorum ama ya Can emmeyi terk ederse?

Bence süt yetiyorsa ve bebiş gece çok uyanan bir bebek değilse tahıllı bir sonraki aya ertelenebilir.

5.Ara öğün meyve dışında ne verebilirim? Kaşık mamalarından mesela?

Meyve dışında bişey vermedim şimdiye kadar. Meyveleri değiştiriyorum. Şimdiye kadar elma, armut, muz, kara üzüm, İzmir üzümü, nar tattı. Dediğim gibi kaşık maması bana pek cazip gelmiyor. Evde olduğum için kendim hazırlamayı tercih ediyorum.
