The Ontario boys and girls under-16 teams are both headed homewith gold medals after a Sunday sweep at the 2014 Field HockeyCanada Under-16 National Championships in West Vancouver, B.C.Both teams were undefeated in the tournament and completed the

repeat double-victory after having done so at the 2013 Nationals in Brampton.It is a testament to the level of hockey being played and taught in Ontario andto the players who came together in a short time period.The Ontario boys were extremely dominant both offensively and de-fensively en route to the final, with only three goals against and twenty-one goals for in four games played.The final, however, began with the host team, British Columbia, scor-ing first. A tally from B.C.'s Kyle Bishop in the opening minute gavethe local boys hope and got the visitors' attention.After some pressure of their own, Ontario tied the game in the fifthminute on a field goal from Jeevan Jammu. The game was only fiveminutes old and had already seen two goals.The goals kept coming in the first half, but it was all Ontario.In the ninth minute, Arshjot Toor scored his first of back-to-back goalsto give Ontario the 2-1 lead. Toor scored again in the fifteenth minute,before Jammu tallied his second of the half to make it 4-1 in the thiry-second minute. That's how the teams went into the half-time break.B.C. was a much improved team in the second half, applying pres-sure for the majoriy of the final frame.

Congress in crisis: Leadership challengedBY PRASHANT SOOD &

SREEPARNA CHAKRABARTY

New Delhi: It has not been an easytime for the Congress since it wentdown to its lowest tally in the LokSabha elections two months back.While the par ty is witnessinginternecine battles in many states, itis also facing competition from someregional parties to hog the opposi-tion space in the Lok Sabha.What is even more worrying for theparty leadership is that there appearsa subliminal current against the stew-ardship of party vice-president RahulGandhi, whom many hold respon-sible for the party's rout in the gen-eral election.The party appears not to have beenable to assert itself in the Lok Sabhawhere it is seeking recognition for itsleader Mallikarjun Kharge as theLeader of Opposition in the house.The Congress has 44 members inthe Lok Sabha and is closely followedby the AIADMK with 37 members andTrinamool Congress with 34.Trinamool Congress appears to befaring better than the Congress as anopposition party. During the presen-tation of the rail budget, it was theTrinamool Congress which was mostvocal in its protests. The AIADMK andthe Biju Janata Dal (20 members) arealso making their presence felt.Trinamool Congress MP Sultan

Ahmed claimed that the Congresshad lost touch with the common manand that was the reason for the partynot taking the lead in raising issues."When they (Congress) were inpower, they had insulated themselvesfrom the common man. Naturally,they are failing on the floor of thehouse," Ahmed, who is the MP fromUluberia in West Bengal, told IANS.Congress president Sonia Gandhi isa regular during question hour and"zero hour" in the Lok Sabha and takesher seat on the front bench. But herson Rahul Gandhi prefers to sit onthe back benches and rarely partici-pates in the debates or rises to makea point on any issue. Rahul was oncecaught on camera taking a nap in thehouse which gave the rulingBharatiya Janata Party (BJP) anotheropportunity to attack him and theCongress.YSR Congress MP from Nellore M.Rajamohan Reddy was of the viewthat the Congress was demoraliseddue to the scale of its defeat and theloss of many of its articulate leadersin the election.The party has given an informal whipthat at least 22 members should bein the house at any given time butthat does not appear to be the norm.The party's seniormost member interms of electoral wins, Kamal Nath(ninth term), has not been seen muchin the house.

The Congress is also facing internalproblems as rumblings have begunin some of the state units which willface assembly polls in a few months.The expected organisational revampis also not in sight.Sonia Gandhi had talked of drawing"appropriate lessons" from the "un-precedented setback" days after theLok Sabha results but the party hasnot come up with a plan of action atthe grassroot level despite the Modigovernment being on the defensiveon the issue of price rise.The 3-0 win in the Uttarakhand by-elections a couple of days agobrought some cheer to thebeleagured party but it is the comingassembly polls in Maharashtra,Haryana, Jharkhand and Jammu andKashmir that are crucial for the Con-gress efforts for a revival.However, the scenario in manystates does not present a rosy pic-ture. Senior minister Narayan Ranequit his post in Maharashtra as didHimanta Biswa Sarma in Assamostensibly because of the par ty'scentral leadership not changing in-cumbent chief ministers - Prithviraj

Chavan and Tarun Gogoi respectively- who failed to ensure a credible per-formance during the Lok Sabha polls.The attacks on chief ministers arebeing seen in some sections as veiledattacks on party vice president RahulGandhi due to his apparent backingto the two chief ministers, though theparty has denied any such link.Apart from the resignations of Raneand Sarma from the their ministerialposts, three Congress legislatorshave joined the Trinamool Congressin West Bengal. Two-time party MPChowdhary Lal Singh left the party inJammu and Kashmir and there havebeen constant demands from somesenior leaders in Haryana to replaceBhupinder Singh Hooda as chief min-ister.Mehboob Ali Kaiser, Lok JanshaktiParty MP from Khagaria in Bihar whospent long years in the Congressbefore quitting it two months beforethis year's Lok Sabha polls, said therewas a sense of "drift" in the Con-gress."Even now (there) appears nochange. After the drubbing, theyshould wake up to the reality, put

things in the right perspective," Kai-ser told IANS.He said there was a lack of confi-dence in the central leadership of theCongress. "That's why people areleaving. They are not getting a pa-tient hearing," he said.Recalling his own experience, Kai-ser, a former chief of the Bihar Con-gress, said that he had found it diffi-cult to meet and explain matters to aCongress functionary who was incharge of Bihar.Some Congressmen, in private, alsocomplain about the style of function-ing of people in Rahul Gandhi's teamand their own sense of unease withthem. "They (Rahul's aides) areyoung but inexperienced. It is easy torelate to a person who understandsyou and the contribution you havemade," said a Congress MP who didnot want to be named. He said theparty office-bearers in charge ofstates should be decisive and shouldnot keep issues pending.However, Gaurav Gogoi, son ofAssam CM Tarun Gogoi againstwhom Sarma has raised the bannerof revolt,

defended the party leadership."People in leadership are taking ev-erything into account," he said. "Thereare by-elections and municipal pollsin Assam. The assembly polls are in2016. I am confident that we will dowell as a party," Gaurav told IANS.BJP MPs attributed the troubles ofthe Congress to problems related toleadership. "There is likely to be ademand in the coming months thatPriyanka Gandhi Vadra should playa more central role in that party," saidArjun Meghwal, BJP MP fromBikaner.But Congress spokesperson SanjayJha dismissed talk of the party fac-ing a crisis. "The party is doing avery thorough and detailed self-ex-amination to see the kind of chal-lenges and to go forward."He attributed the resignation of thetwo state ministers to "personal am-bitions" and said these were sporadicincidents."We are bullish. We are more thanresolved to move forward. We arevery well entrenched. We will be re-invigorated and ready for the fu-ture," he claimed.

JUST SPORTCWG IS BEYOND THE REACH OF SMALLER NATIONS

BY VETURI SRIVATSAWhat is the relevance of the Commonwealth Games (CWG) in the 21st cen-tury? This question pops up every four years, more so in the last two decades.The Games are invariably held in British Isles, Australia, Canada or New Zealand.The only exceptions were Kingston, Jamaica, in 1966, Kuala Lumpur in 1998 and2010 New Delhi. That's the imperialistic stranglehold. Now South Africa is anothermajor player joining the big league.The idea of the Games was valid, say, some 80 years ago for the British empire tobring together its colonies to understand each other and also have fun. But today itis asked what purpose the Games serve when the world's top athletes do not takethem seriously.Most countries hoping to host the Games shudder to think of the fall-out. Theinfrastructure facilities and the spin-offs from the Games are not commensuratewith the bills the country has to pay for ages. After the New Delhi Games unfortu-nately the word corruption has been added to the CWG lexicon.For most member-countries, ruled by corrupt despots, these Games are a way tooblige their cronies even though some of these countries produce the world'sleading athletes.In recent years the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) met the membersunsuccessfully to prune the Games to a manageable limit so that some of thesmaller countries can also host, thus making the bidding process more transpar-ent and reasonable.The spiralling costs of the Games are discouraging potential bidders as the Interna-tional Olympic Committee has realised while calling for bids for the 2022 WinterGames. Three bidders pulled out, leaving three in the fray.Similarly, the 2019 Asian Games have become a drag on the economy of countrieswanting to host and Vietnam found out after successfully bidding for the Games thatit did not have the wherewithal to organise it. Delhi made some noise before theprohibitive costs and the public scrutiny during the CWG forced its hands. One

Indian Olympic Association (IOA) official was clearly unnerved at the prospect ofa media trial even before Delhi is allotted the Games. The Games have to beaffordable and enjoyable.The CWG are frightening the potential bidders. After the next Games in the beautifulGold Coast in Brisbane, Australia, in 2018, Canadian city Edmonton and SouthAfrica's Durban are the only bidders for the 2022 games. Gold Coast beat the onlyrival Hambantota in Sri Lanka.Who knows by the time the decision to allot the Games is taken next year, neitherbidder may be interested, not because they can't host but because of the devalua-tion of the Games.The Edmonton official, though, spoke eloquently about the relevance of the Games,citing how well the city had organised it once in 1978. He has said over 30 yearsago Edmonton had to house 1,400 athletes, but what he has not said is that inGlasgow there are over 7,000 competitors!What hurts the hosts is the lack of interest shown by world class athletes. Delhimissed Usain Bolt because he had expended all his energies making pots of gold,running in Golden League. This time he is making a token presence in the relays forJamaica. There will also be no Asafa Powell or Yohan Blake. Glasgow's biggestdisappointment will be that Britain's Mo Farah has also decided to skip the GlasgowGames at the eleventh hour. The Olympic 5,000 and 10,000 metres gold medallistin a carefully constructed explanation says his body tells him that it is not ready torace yet. He is recuperating after an abdominal issue. The flip side of it is thatbudding athletes can have an opportunity to showcase their talent in the absenceof the big guns. As for India, they have done well in the first two days. It maybe a far cry to expect them to get anywhere near their 2010 home perfor-mance of 101 medals, but if they can do better than their 69 medals with 30gold in 2002 in Manchester or the 49 with 22 gold in Melbourne in 2006 theyshould be happy. Veturi Srivatsa is the Sports Editor of IANS and viewsexpressed are personal.

Winds of change in offices: Minister saab is watchingBY RANJANA NARAYAN

New Delhi: Most officials are re-porting for work on the dot at 9 a.m.and, those who get delayed, espe-cially those coming from outsideDelhi, have to perforce take the dayoff as "minister saab", Informationand Broadcasting Minister PrakashJavadekar, is personally keeping astrict tab on the punctuality of hisministry staff.With Prime Minister Narendra Modihimself setting a fast pace of work,most ministers of his governmenthave been ensuring that punctualityis maintained - a new trait in govern-ment offices where babus, the lowerlevel officials, stroll in and out whenthey want without any sense of dis-cipline or regimen.Javadekar is not the only one.According to official sources, HumanResource Development MinisterSmriti Irani, Women and Child De-velopment Minister Maneka Gandhiand Urban Development Minister M.Venkaiah Naidu have given their min-istry staff strict instructions to comeon time and monitor attendance reg-isters.Javadekar and Naidu issued guide-lines on punctuality after they con-ducted surprise checks on their min-istry offices one morning to find many

lower level were still to come or werestrolling in.During the surprise check on June30, Javadekar had directed that thosewho do not report to work on timeshould furnish casual leave applica-tions. The surprise check, includingphotographs of Javadekar giving di-rections in an office room with mostchairs empty, was circulated by anaide of the minister to media housesfor publication.The information and broadcastingministry is acquiring a biometric at-tendance system to keep tabs onwhat time staff enter and exit, a min-istry source told IANS."We all arrive sharp at 9 a.m. or evenearlier. Those who get late, take theday off, according to the directions ofthe minister," another source saiddeclining to be identified. Theministry's top official, Secretary BimalJulka, arrives much before 9 a.m. tomonitor the time at which officialsreport for work.Lunch breaks are no more the re-laxed affairs they used to be. Mostofficials, especially the senior ones,keep working while grabbing a bitein between, another source told IANS.While junior staffers are able to leavefor home at 5.30 p.m., the senior offi-cials and their aides are not so lucky.

Most senior officials are in office till7 p.m. and their staff too stay put.Saturdays have turned slowly into fullworking days, said one official sound-ing none too pleased. And if peopleare complaining, it must be mutedas no one is giving vent openly toany opinions any longer, as was thecase during the previous UPA gov-ernment when everyone gave freerein to their views and even plantedstories in the media against the gov-ernment.Are staffers able to manage comingon time? "Well, it is tough on thewomen, especially those who havefamilies and those coming from out-side Delhi," said one bureaurcat, whohad to be coaxed into saying some-

thing. Javadekar personally keepstabs on what time the ministry offi-cials arrive. Many of his cabinet col-leagues are also doing the same.The Modi government's initial pushfor cleanliness and hygiene - thatsaw senior officials throw out old fur-niture and files and take rounds ofthe office premises to ensure every-thing is spick and span - seems tohave slackened of late.The o ld dus ty f l oo rs andunswept corners are again be-ginning to be visible in govern-ment offices. The directives forhygiene and cleanliness were wel-comed by all. Maybe it is time theywere issued again, said visitors togovernment offices.

Majority (55%) of Students Have HiddenHow Much They Spend From Parents

Toronto - When it comes to knowing about their children's debtand post-secondary spending habits, a new survey conductedby Ipsos Reid on behalf of RBC reveals a concerning discon-nect between parents and their children when it comes to moneymatters at school.Nine in ten (90%) parents 'agree' (49% strongly/42% some-what) that they know roughly how much debt their childrenhave, compared to only three quar ters (78%) of students whosimilarly 'agree' (34% strongly/43% somewhat) that their par-ents have an awareness of their debt level. Perhaps even morealarming is the revelation of a wider gap between parents andchildren when it comes to having to hide expenses.A majority (55%) of students 'agree' (19% strongly/36% some-what) that they have sometimes hidden how much they spendmoney from their parents so they wouldn't have to justify thechoices to them, compared to only one in three (33%) parentsthat 'agree' (6% strongly/28% somewhat) that their childrenhave hidden their expenses from them so as to not have tojustify them.Three in four (76%) students 'agree' (24% strongly/53% some-what) that they are confidence in their ability to manage theirfinances, although even more (87%) 'agree' (40% strongly/47%somewhat) that they still have a lot to learn about managingfinances.Interestingly, more parents (89%) 'agree' (39% strongly/50%somewhat) that they have been a good financial role model fortheir children, compared to just four in five (80%) students whosimilarly 'agree' (40% strongly/41% somewhat).Talking to their children may help alleviate worry and stress,from both parent and child, considering the experience momand dad have with managing their own expenses. Parents (57%)are less likely to worry that their children's savings will notcover all of his/her school expenses, while students (71%) aremore likely to have this worry. Students are also more anxiousabout taking on debt than their parents think they are (69 percent versus 60 per cent of parents).

Avery slim propor tion disagreed with this idea(7% Canadians, 10% Americans).Younger Canadians and Americans appear tobe more attracted to the idea of living down-town, in comparison to older Canadians andAmericans. While over one half of Canadians(54%) and Americans (53%) would choose tolive downtown if it meant more green space,walkable areas, and convenience, muchlarger propor tions of young people wouldchoose this compared to those over 55." Seven in 10 (70%) Canadians and64% of Americans between the ages of 18-34would choose to live downtown, compared toonly 53% of Canadians and 55% of Americansage 35-54.

Calgary, Alberta Selected as Site for Innovative Eco-Friendly Condo Developmentwhat agree) and Americans (91%, 41% strongly agree/49% somewhat agree)agreeing that downtowns need to feature green space in more creative ways.

Again, only a small proportion of Canadians (7%)and Americans (9%) disagree with this statement.The idea of growing food downtown is popularamong Nor th Americans, with nine in 10 Ca-nadians (90%, 43% strongly agree/48% some-what agree) and Americans (88%, 42% stronglyagree/46% somewhat agree) suppor ting thetrend of growing food in cities.

SOLANKI SWORN-IN ASHARYANA GOVERNOR

Chandigarh: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kaptan Singh Solankiwas Sunday sworn-in as the governor of Haryana. He was adminis-tered the oath of office by acting Chief Justice of the Punjab and HaryanaHigh Court Ashutosh Mohunta at Haryana Raj Bhavan here. Solanki,75, a BJP Rajya Sabha member from Madhya Pradesh and formercollege professor, succeeded Jagannath Pahadia whose five- yearterm ended Saturday. Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and otherministers were present at the swearing-in ceremony. The new gover-nor is likely to take up the matter over the controversial enactment ofa law in Haryana that created the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara ParbandhakCommittee (HSGPC) to manage gurdwaras (Sikh shrines) in Haryana.Outgoing governor Pahadia gave his assent to the controversial bill,passed by the Haryana assembly June 11, despite stiff oppositionfrom the Akali Dal in Punjab and the Amritsar-based ShiromaniGurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC).Solanki earlier said that he would go through the record of the entireissue before taking a decision in the matter. The Akali Dal and theAmritsar-based SGPC are demanding that the governor withdraw theassent to the HSGPC bill. The bill was introduced by the Congressgovernment in Haryana just ahead of the assembly polls in the stateto be held October this year. With the Bhupinder Singh Hooda govern-ment going ahead with its move for a separate committee for Haryanagurdwaras by announcing a 41-member ad hoc HSGPC, the newgovernor will have to explore constitutional options over the issue.The SGPC will lose control over 72 gurdwaras with the creation of theHSGPC.

The conventions were called by the Shiromani Akali Dal in Amritsarand Haryana Sikh leaders in Karnal (Haryana). Both sides are locked in a bitterstand-off over the creation of the HSGPC . "All Sikhs are concerned today. What-ever happened in Saharanpur today has increased our concern. The Sikh quam(community) is facing a new challenge today. In this situation, I order all groupsto call off their conventions in Amritsar (Punjab) and Karnal (Haryana)," Gurbachan

Singh announced in Amritsar, 250 km from here. He said that the Akal Takht willcall a meeting of Sikh high priests and senior Sikh leaders later to resolve theissue (over the creation of the HSGPC in Haryana). Punjab's ruling ShiromaniAkali Dal, which had called for a World Sikh convention in Amritsar'sGolden Temple complex Sunday (July 27) immediately announced that inview of the Akal Takht directive, Sunday's Sikh convention stood can-celled. "We have called off the Sikh convention to be held tomorrow (Sun-day). We have taken this step in the interest of the Sikh community follow-ing the Akal Takht's directive. We are informing the Sikh leaders aboutthis," Punjab education minister and Akali Dal spokesman Deljeej SinghCheema said.

MODI GOVERNMENT HASDONE COMMENDABLE WORKIN TWO MONTHS: NAIDU

Hyderabad: Asser ting that the Narendra Modi government hasdone commendable work since it assumed office two monthsago, union Urban Development Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu Sun-day said it was trying to put the country's economy back on rails.He told repor ters here that the economy was derailed during theUPA's rule and that the Modi government is trying to put it back onrails. He also blamed the previous government for messing upeverything, including economy and administration, for devalua-tion of rupee and leaving behind a huge debt.Naidu said inviting SAARC leaders at Modi's swearing-in as theprime minister sent a good message as for the first time in thehistory the heads of the SAARC countries came together on sucha platform. The prime minister also attended BRICS summit andIndia was made the first chairman of the newly-set up BRICSBank, he said, adding that Modi demonstrated his foreign policyand took the initiative in improving ties with the member coun-tries. The prime minister held talks with the leaders of other coun-tries. Naidu said the government in its first budget took severaldevelopment-oriented measures and tried to create atmosphereconducive for investment. "The government created confidenceamong people about their future. It also began effor ts to solvevarious problems faced by the country," he said.The minister claimed that the government also tried to strengthenthe railways and star ted work on pending projects.Naidu, who also holds the parliamentary affairs por tfolio, lashedout at the Congress par ty for criticizing the National DemocraticAlliance government for the very decisions that had been takenduring the United Progressive Alliance's 10-year rule but not imple-mented for one reason or the other.He said that it was the Congress government which decided toincrease rail tariff but put on hold its implementation fearing a polldebacle but the same par ty was now criticising the NDA govern-ment for implementing the decision. "The Congress is unable todigest the fact that it was defeated in the elections," he said andadvised the opposition par ty to act with maturity and not to score"self-goals". He said the Congress was demanding a statementby Modi in parliament about the BRICS summit but forgot the factthat Manmohan Singh attended the conference five times and nevermade a statement. Attributing the price rise to the wrong policiespursued by the previous Congress-led government, the union min-ister said it was surprising that the Congress was blaming theNDA government for it. "The price rise is caused by the economicpolicies of the government. Our government has just made thebeginning and its policies of last one month can't be responsiblefor this. Let the government run for a year or two and then criticise,"he told the opposition. Naidu said the Congress was responsiblefor creating problems in the conduct of civil services exams in2011 and 2013 but was targeting the new government for the same.He said the government had appointed a committee to look intothe grievances of the students.

Close comet flyby puts NASA's Mars spacecraft at riskWASHINGTON: As a comet headstowards a close flyby of Mars Oct19 this year, NASA is taking stepsto protect its Mars orbiters whilepreserving oppor tunities to gathervaluable scientific data, the USspace agency said in a statement.The "C/2013 A1 Siding Spring"comet's nucleus will miss Marsby about 132,000 km, sheddingmaterial hur tling at about 56 kmper second, relative to Mars andMars-orbiting spacecraft.At that velocity, even the small-est par ticle - estimated to beabout half a millimetre across -could cause significant damageto a spacecraft.NASA current ly operates twoMars orbiters, with a third on itsway and expected to arrive inMar tian orbit just a month beforethe comet flyby.Teams operating the orbiters planto have all spacecraft positionedon the opposite side of the RedPlanet when the comet is mostlikely to pass by."Three exper t teams have mod-eled this comet for NASA and pro-vided forecasts for its flyby ofMars," said Richard Zurek, chiefscientist for the Mars Exploration

Programme at NASA's Jet Pro-pulsion Laboratory in Pasadena,California."The hazard is not an impact ofthe comet nucleus, but the trail ofdebris coming from it," Zurekadded.However, he said that the hazardis not as great as first anticipated.

"Mars will be right at the edge ofthe debris cloud, so it might en-counter some of the par ticles --or it might not," Zurek said.Dur ing the day's events, thesmallest distance between Sid-ing Spring's nucleus and Marswill be less than one-tenth thedistance of any known previous

ear thly comet flyby.The period of greatest risk to or-biting spacecraft will star t about90 minutes later and last about20 minutes when Mars will comeclosest to the centre of the wid-ening dust trail from the nucleus,NASA said.

Kathmandu, (IANS) A parliamentary panel in Nepal Sunday asked thegovernment to sign as soon as possible a "Power Trade Agreement"(PTA) with India under which New Delhi has proposed 100 percent Indianinvestment or joint ventures with Indian entities in the Himalayan country'spower sector.Both sides held marathon negotiations during the weekend visit here ofIndia's External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj to firm up a deal."Large-scale investment is inevitable in the energy sector but invest-ment will become uncertain in the absence of a power trade agreement.As a result, a PTA is necessary with India," read a statement on thecommittee's decision.Reading out the statement, lawmaker Amrit Kumar Bohara, who chairedthe meeting, said such an agreement "was necessary to attract invest-ment", and emphasized on the need for concrete homework and coordi-nation between the government and the committee on the same.The PTA, however, has courted a lot of controversy in Nepal, as it hasbeen alleged that India would capture Nepal's natural resources andmonopolise its water resources.Expressing concern over the postponement of the power deal, the Parlia-ment Agriculture and Resources Committee Sunday directed the Nepalgovernment to immediately conclude the PTA with India.India had proposed the draft of the agreement May 8 to Nepal for consid-eration.However, according to Nepali stakeholders, the most contentious clausein the draft was article 3 which speaks about investment in power gen-eration and transmission, including joint ventures.Article 3a says the parties will facilitate investment in each other's coun-try in power generation and transmission, subject to legislation, whilearticle 3b says the parties will cooperate in effective harnessing of Nepal'shydropower potential through facilitation and speedy construction of powerprojects in Nepal, either with 100 percent Indian investment or joint ven-tures with Indian entities.

US congratulates Iraqis on their new president

Arab Parliament denouncesescalation of violence in Libya

Cairo: The Arab Parliament (AP) Sunday condemned the escalationof violence in Libya, warning that the situation threatens Arab na-tional security. AP President Ahmed Mohammed Al Jarwan de-manded that all the involved parties exert joint efforts to preserveterritorial integrity and unity of Libya and realise political and secu-rity stability. Al Jarwan affirmed AP's support for Arab diplomaticeffor ts aimed at preserving unity of Libya and reconcile warringfactions. He called for immediate halt to fighting between armedgroups that shed Arab blood. In the last few days, fighting amongrival militias for control of the airport in Tripoli has left at least 50people dead, extensive damage to airport facilities and planes, andthe suspension of all flights to and from the airport. The UN SecurityCouncil last week condemned recent violence in Libya, calling onall sides to engage in political dialogue and refrain from violencewhich threatens stability. The United States Saturday closed itsembassy in Libya and evacuated the staffers to neighbouring Tuni-sia amid security concerns in the restive north African country.

Washington: The US has con-gratulated the Iraqis on the elec-t ion of their new PresidentMohammed Fuad Masoum. "Bytaking this crucial step, the Coun-c i l o f Rep resen ta t i ves hasdemonstrated its commitmentto unite the countr y," Xinhuaquoted US State Depar tmentspokeswoman Mar ie Har f assaying.Mohammed Fuad Masoum

Thursday was elected as thenew president of Iraq.Masoum, 76 , was the f i r s tprime minister of the semi-au-tonomous I raq i Kurd is tan in1992.He is a leading figure in the Pa-t r i o t i c Un ion o f Ku rd is tan ,headed by outgoing PresidentJalal Talabani.Masoum a lso headed theKurdistan Alliance in the Iraqi

parliament since 2005.The Kurds nominated Masouma few days a f t e r t he a i l i ngTalabani, 81, returned from 18months of medical treatment inGermany. Masoum won 211 votesfrom 269 lawmakers who attendedthe session of the 328-seat parlia-ment. The US has also urged Iraqileaders to form an inclusive govern-ment to address the threat of the Is-lamist militants.

"Only with an inclusive, cohesivegovernment that represents all Ira-qis, can the country most effectivelyand successfully confront the ur-gent security and humanitarianchallenges it faces in the fightagainst Islamic militants," Harfsaid. Iraq's leaders must take thenext step in their democratic pro-cess by choosing a prime minis-ter and forming a government, Harfadded.

Nepali officials say this clause gives the impression of denying involve-ment of other countries as well as Nepali companies in power generationand transmission."The content of the draft gives the impression of an umbrella agreement,which could be detrimental to Nepal," an official said.With the ar ticle remaining silent on involvement of other countries, Nepaliofficials fear that investors other than from India will not be allowed in thecountry.During the negotiations, officials from both sides agreed to end the dis-putes but did not reveal what was accepted by both parties.Earlier, at the parliamentary panel meeting, Nepal's Energy Minister RadhaGyawali said that as energy was the first door to development of Nepal,a PTA with India was "essential"."It is for the nation's development but we will keep national interest inmind," the minister said."The ministry will not step back on matters of national interest but powerdevelopment is in the interest of Nepal," she added.Nepali Congress lawmaker Gagan Kumar Thapa, however, blamed theenergy ministry for creating an "unnecessary dispute" over the proposedPTA.Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) lawmaker KashinathAdhikari sought an explanation from the government over the delay inconcluding the agreement, though Nepal had sent its draft to India fouryears ago.Energy ministry secretary Rajendra Kishore Chettri said the sign-ing of the PTA was delayed due to lack of necessary homeworkfor it."We are trying our best to conclude the negotiations before thevisit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Nepal, so that itcan be signed during his visit," Chettri said.Modi is scheduled to visit the Himalayan country in the first week ofAugust.

'KICK' IS A KICKASS SAL-MANENTERTAINERA massive throng of movie afi-cionados (obviously die-hardSalman fans) on the anterior ofticket window and a jam like situ-ation out side the cineplexes area few such social phenomenonswhich often precede the releaseof any and every Salman movie.And with the release of muchawaited Salman starrer of theyear 'Kick ' the history once againrepeated itself. When the firstlooks of 'Kick' made it to grape-vine and vir tual world, numerous'Dhoom-bastic' and 'Krrish-matic'buzzes about its being somethingon the l ines of 'Dhoom' and'Krrish' star ted shaping around it,but finally in order to brush asideall such speculation this one ofthe most anticipated cine flick ofthe year made it to cine arena.Starring Jacquline Fernandes,Randeep Hooda, NawazudinSiddhiqui and MithunChakrabor ty this directorial ven-ture of Sajid Nadiadwala and theremake of a southern super-hitwi th same name, 'Kick ' suc-ceeded in securing a cent percentoccupancy at its opening (Do Ineed to specify the obvious rea-sons?). Anyhow leaving aside thechronology of events which pre-ceded 'Kick', let's apprise youabout the premise of the moviefirst. 'Kick' primarily is the storyof a fun loving, but otherwise asuper-brainy guy, Devi Lal Singh

BANGING RESPONSE: 'BANG BANG' TEASERCREATES HISTORY?

Cast: Salman Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez,Randeep Hooda, Nawazuddin Siddiqui,MithunChakraborty, Archana Puran Singh, SaurabhShukla,Sumona ChakravartiDirection: Sajid NadiadwalaRating: ***

(Salman Khan) whose ultimateaim in life is to get a kick (a fit ofadrenaline rush with a superbdose of thrill) in whatever he doesor is supposed to do. And right atthe onset of the movie Devi has arendezvous with Shaiana(Jacquel ine Fernandez) wholeaves our very own 'kick hun-gry' Casanova love-struck.With frames rolling ahead lovebattens between Devi and his'Psycho' beauty Shaina, but theshort-lived love story bumps intoan obstacle as the latter could not

handle Devi's lack of commitmenton professional front. Then theplot takes a massive leap of al-most an year or so and Shainamigrates to Poland where herfamily fixes her match with a su-per cop of Indian origin, HimanshuTyagi (Randeep Hooda), who hasarrived in Poland in search of aheist-master, Devil, who incidentallyhappens to be Shaina's ex Devi. Sowhat follows when Himanshu andShaina realize that their Devi andDevil are not two, rather one indi-vidual?To know book your tickets for thismega cine-enterprise starringSalman. Well before going aheadwith the story analysis I would like tomake one thing very clear right at theonset that, 'MASALA MOVIES' orMASALA ENTERTAINERS' are neither

the warm hosts for the logics, northey like to see them loitering in thecine ballroom (so logic should vol-untarily leave the cine arena) and infact it won't be wrong to say that"Masala Movies" come with an in-discernible disclaimer underneathstating, "leave your brains out" andup-till some extent so is the case withKick too. As far as premise of 'Kick'is concerned then it has nothing grandor 'never-seen-before' kind of cineidea at its core, but it certainly is asoothing potpourri of action, drama,love, charity, foreign locations, anitem number, a gorgeous femalelead and at last but not leastSalman Khan. But on the hind-side there is no denying the factthat whole of the cine proceedingof 'Kick' keeps you reminding ofDhoom franchise.

Bipasha Basu is all set to promoteVikram Bhatt's film Creature 3D,but the actress apparently wantsthe film's makers to take care ofcosts incurred for her styling, hairand makeup. What's more, thiscost is amounting to a whoppingRs 1 lakh per promotional appear-ance. A source close to the ac-tress says, `Bipasha will pro-mote the film but her stylist willapparently charge around Rs 65-70,000 and her hair and makeupar tistes need to be paid aroundRs 15-20,000. Her driver and manFriday too have to be paid.` An-other source says that Bips hasinsisted on wearing what her styl-

ist asks her to even at the printinterviews and that the stylist willbe paid for these appearances aswell.It may be pointed out that the filmis said to have already gone over-budget due to the VFX effects usedin it and now Bipasha Basu's de-mands wil l apparently up thecosts considerably. This, in turn,is said to have upset the film'sproducer. When contacted,Bhushan Kumar said, `Bipashahas not charged any extra amountfor the film's promotional activi-ties. We have signed a contractwhich clearly states the remu-neration for her staff and we will

continue the same forpromotions as well.Òn her par t, Bipashasaid, `Staff paymentsare always a par t of thefilm contract and they getpaid an amount that hasbeen already agreed upon.So there is no additionalcost here.
