    E-auction, cost jump drag Coal India Q1 profit down by 16.5%

    State-run * Coal India today reported a 16.5 per cent dip in consolidated net profit at Rs 3,731 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, mainly due to lower realisation from e-auction, hike in wages and diesel cost and incremental increase of FSA coal sales.

    The company had registered a net profit of Rs 4,469 crore in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal.

    During the quarter under review, Coal India's (CIL) consolidated net sales were down 0.2 per cent to Rs 16,472.42 crore.

    CIL Chairman S Narsing Rao said profits were down due to various reasons that led to additional hike in operating cost to the tune of Rs 758 crore.

    "The e-auction realisation was lower by Rs 557 crore despite flat quantity. CIL's wage and diesel price impact too was close to Rs 555 crore and rise in expenses for contractual work was Rs 250 crore during the quarter over the corresponding period last year," CIL Director (Finance) A Chatterjee said.

    The substantial incremental increase of FSA coal sales to the power sector by 2.75 MT during the quarter had also impacted its profitability.

    FSA coal realisation is Rs 36 per tonne lower than average price of coal for rest of the sectors.

    Rao said the company will have to increase production by 7 per cent in the subsequent three quarters to meet 5.8 per cent growth target for the year.

    "With 4.75 per cent average rise in coal price done recently, along with increase in production, we hope to reverse the

    Unemployment rate drops, but hiring just muddling along

    13 hours ago

    Karen Dawal passes out information to job seekers during the East Bay's HIREvent on July 17, 2013 in Emeryville, California.

    The U.S. economy created fewer jobs than expected in July, with the bulk of the them in areas, such as retail and restaurants, that typically are low-paying.

    The Labor Department, in its widely watched jobs report, on Friday said non-farm employment rose by 162,000 and the unemployment rate slipped to 7.4 percent, the lowest in over four years. Gains in employment fueled some of that decline, but the labor force also shrank during the month, robbing some of the luster from the decline in the unemployment rate.

    Employment increased in retail trade, food services and drinking establishments, financial activities and wholesale trade.?

    The jobs growth, which missed expectations of an increase of 183,000 jobs, was enough to show the labor market continues to expand, but at a sluggish pace.

    A broader gauge of unemployment that includes the underemployed and those who have quit looking for work also fell, from 14.3 percent in June to 14 percent in July.

    "It's a much weaker number than was generally expected, and it's not troubling but it's a reminder that the labor market remains weak," said Milton Ezrati, senior economic strategist at Lord Abbett & Co.

    Previous months' job creation numbers were revised lower, bucking a trend in which the counts mainly have been revised upwards.

    The BLS now puts May job growth at 176,000, down from the previously reported 195,000, while June's figure fell to 188,000 from 195,000.

    At the same time, long-term unemployment rose, with the average duration of joblessness now at 36.6 weeks.

    And wage growth fell: After rising 10 cents an hour last month, average wages fell 2 cents to $23.98 an hour, while the average work week decreased by 0.1 hours to 34.4 hours.?

    CNBC's Jeff Cox and Reuters contributed to this report.

    Councilman Hotchkiss Thrown From Horse Before Parade

    By Giana Magnoli, Noozhawk Staff Writer | @magnoli |

    Santa Barbara City Councilman Frank Hotchkiss was thrown off his horse in the staging ground for the Old Spanish Days Historical Parade on Friday, and was taken to the hospital for treatment of his injuries, according to the Santa Barbara City Fire Department.

    Firefighters and paramedics responded to the call at about 11:45 a.m., and took Hotchkiss to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital as a precaution, since head and neck injuries are a big concern when falling from that height, fire Battalion Chief Robert Mercado said.

    ?It?s a big distance,? he noted.

    Hotchkiss, reached by telephone Friday afternoon, said most of his lower left back was very sore, and hospital staff were checking to make sure nothing was broken, but he hopes to be up and about in a day or two.

    ?I was at Pershing Park before the parade,? he said. ?It?s a good thing, too; all of a sudden my horse shied and bucked me kind of straight up in the air. I landed flat on my back on the grass.?

    He has ridden horses many times before, but had never been on that particular horse, he said.

    The animal apparently was spooked when Hotchkiss pulled off his hat to wave to someone.

    The Historical Parade is one of the largest equestrian parades in the country, and has hundreds of riders on horseback making their way up State Street every year for Old Spanish Days.

    City firefighters also responded to an incident involving a fall from a horse near the end of the parade on Micheltorena Street, Mercado said. A man and woman were riding the same horse and it's unclear whether the horse tripped or was spooked, but both people ended up on the ground, according to City Fire.?

    Both people were taken to the hospital on backboards, as a cervical spine precaution. They complained of back and neck pain, responding firefighters said. It's normal for City Fire to respond to a few incidents at the parade every year, though the riders who come out for Fiesta are usually very experienced, they noted.?

    The need to address homelessness in the Seattle mayor's race

    Editor?s note: Osa Hale, a Western Washington University student, is an opinion intern this quarter.

    I live in the University district. Every morning, on my walk to the bus stop, I encounter a few different types of people. There?s the neighbor walking the dog and taking out the trash; there are the morning joggers, and there are the people sleeping under the awning of the University Christian Church and lining up for the food bank.

    There are more than 8,800 people known to be homeless in King County, according to the 2012 One Night Count, a point-in-time census conducted by the Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness. Nearly one-third of these people are minors, and at least 400 of them are young adults.

    The next Seattle mayor has the responsibility of finding the most cost-effective and thorough way to help these people. The candidates had a few things to say about that task. Everyone made it clear how complex the issue is. But it isn?t enough to talk about why it is so hard to fix this problem. Comprehensive actions need to be taken.

    Sen. Ed Murray

    State Sen. Ed Murray

    For example, state Sen. Ed Murray emphasized the importance of getting people into housing that meets their needs, whether that is a short-term home to get them back on their feet, or a facility that could care for individuals living with mental illness. Murray mentioned the State Housing Trust Fund, saying it was a program he has helped push money into in an effort to help the homeless. The fund has put nearly $1 billion dollars into housing projects since 1987. If elected mayor, Murray said, he would try to create a partnership that would connect the fund with the private sector and nonprofits.

    Current Mayor Mike McGinn also mentioned government-funded housing efforts, explaining in a written statement that he would like to renew the Seattle Housing Levy, which was passed in 2009, and focused on making apartment buildings available to low- to moderate-income renters, including people who were formerly homeless.

    Mayor Mike McGinn

    Mayor Mike McGinn

    Another common theme among the candidates was a need for more coordination among nonprofits, private institutions and government to help the homeless. One can only hope this is something that will be a true priority, rather than one more collection of buzzwords that gets tucked away once a leader takes office. Lance Dickie made a similar argument in his November 8, 2012 column.

    Homelessness doesn?t exist in a vacuum; every city resident is touched by it in some way, and it usually is not a pleasant experience.

    In 2010, the Seattle City Council was faced with an ordinance that would have banned people from a variety of panhandling offenses, including repeatedly begging after getting turned down. This rule would have had a $50 violation fee. It nearly passed; the council passed it before it was vetoed by Mayor McGinn, according to this Seattle Times news story.

    Many of us have found ourselves in situations with homeless people when we have felt unsafe or annoyed. That is understandable. However, it is unreasonable to think a rule that skirts the limits of the First Amendment is the answer to the problem of street civility that naturally occurs in areas of high-density homelessness.

    Treat the cause, not the outcome. Homelessness won?t be stopped by only helping people once they hit rock bottom. The mayor has a responsibility to make the city a place where people can get and keep jobs, making a living wage. City leaders must keep a watchful eye on the minimum-wage debate going on in SeaTac right now, as described in this news article from July 25.

    The future mayor must also look further, and demand a greater federal safety net for low-income families and individuals. Lance Dickie weighed in on what politicians can do to pragmatically fight homelessness in this column from 2011.

    Former Seattle City Councilman Peter Steinbrueck

    Former Seattle City Councilmember Peter Steinbrueck

    This combination, of providing resources for people living on the streets and taking preventative measures with those who are on the brink of homelessness, is what Peter Steinbrueck characterized as ?closing the door at the front end, and opening the door on the back end.? It attacks the problem from both sides.

    Civic leaders need to make this issue a real priority. Substantial support for nonprofits that are already making a difference is the bare minimum. The future mayor should look at the problem holistically, and try to help the homeless and those hovering just above the poverty line, by putting money into the housing levy and the trust fund. While a tent city cannot last forever, the evicted residents of Nickelsville must be handled carefully, not abandoned as soon as they leave Highland Park Way. The Seattle Times editorial board expressed similar concerns in its June 16 editorial.

    There may be some people who will always be homeless, who choose the life of a vagabond or who will refuse all help. But those people are in the minority. I see men and women in their 20s, my age, begging for change every day. Nickelsville was built in large part by families, couples, and people with pets, who cling to each other to maintain a shred of normalcy in a situation that was not a part of the plan. In a country where some have reached Alpine heights of wealth, it is shameful for us to turn a blind eye to those who are in the depths of poverty. Steinbrueck thinks that Seattle is a compassionate city, ready to set an example in helping the homeless. I would like to believe he is right.

    If you are interested in the mayoral candidates? positions on street civility, here are edited excerpts of their answers to a Seattle Times editorial board questionnaire. Ed Murray, Bruce Harrell and Doug McQuaid did not participate in the questionnaire.

    1 Peter Steinbrueck

    Architect, former City Council member

    "We need more visible policing, foot patrols, neighborhood policing, and more proactive policing in downtown and in the parks.? There is a role for more eyes on the streets, perhaps a community alert system that you can sign up for on your cell phone.

    "Some of the street issues and civility concerns are beyond what the SPD alone can control. We need a triage approach, with specialized responses for the homeless, mentally ill and drug addicts. The complete answer will require other interventions and social services."

    2 Mike McGinn

    "There are some public safety issues that we cannot arrest our way out of. That's why we partnered with King County, Department of Corrections, the ACLU and many other regional agencies to launch Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD). LEAD targets known and repeat low-level drug offenders downtown and connects them with services like housing, job training, and services to fight their addictions. Similarly, I?ve expanded funding for the Seattle Youth Violence Initiative and other programs to aid in preventing crime among at-risk youth.

    "I also launched the Center City Initiative in 2011 to tackle the difficult problem of how to deal with low-level street disorder. ...

    "As a coalition of business interests, agencies, and other stakeholders, we also lobbied for more funding for preventive social service programs in Olympia."

    3 Mary Martin

    "We are for decriminalizing drug use. We are for treatment for those with drug addictions. We also advise all who want to seriously fight to advance the? interests of the working class to not take illegal drugs.

    "The working class needs jobs to unify our class and to build solidarity and confidence in ourselves and each other."

    4 Kate Martin

    web_KateMartin"We must have streets that are welcoming to women and children. ...

    "I'll introduce a panhandling by permit program.? Panhandling exacerbates many problems and often fuels the very problems that put these folks on the streets.? The status of folks that need social services, a job, and a roof over their head are not elevated from their status by panhandling. Vendors of Real Change, who are at the very least taking a responsible step toward creating income for a better life, would be able to get a permit as available.? Quantities of permits would be limited.? The permit would not be for corners and the legal locations by permit would change daily so as not to overly burden any particular business owner or resident."

    5 Joey Gray

    Information-systems specialist

    Joey Gray 2"We need a mayor who sets and maintains consistent, fair policies across the city in its response to all concerns. We need a tone that itself exemplifies civility, professionalism, and that engenders respect from the top."

    6 Charlie Staadecker

    Charlie Staadecker 2"There needs to be a higher police presence in the affected areas. Increased foot patrols and bike police need to be put in place for each segment of the City.

    "We need to accept that some of these people need help. There needs to be more opportunities for individuals to seek treatment for alcohol and drug abuse. Those committing violations need to be subject to warnings, and the possibility of removal, by the police. The response should depend on the level of disorder, but the consequences individuals face need to be very clear."

I want to go back to my old weight before I was put on all these meds that put it on me (Which I am now on a new med that counter acts them on that side effect) which was 110 at 5ft7-slightly underweight but nothing bad or dangerous or anything like that.... I have a ways to go. But I'm a determined girl. As it turns out though I'm ALSO a boredom and depressive eater at the same time. Ugh. My bad habit is WAY too much soda. I drink soda to stop boredom or depressive eating. How do I stop this depressive and boredom eating? Help?

    I think you already know the answer, since you said that your habit of drinking soda is bad. That's right, soda is bad. One thing that helps a lot is to stop buying it. Instead, buy plain seltzer water in the large containers if you have to have bubbly liquid. Put a squeeze of lemon or lime or for fancy a few raspberries in the glass, ice, and fill it up with seltzer. yum.
    I stop bored and depressive eating with walks, jogs, bike rides (I have a stand that my bike sits on to 'spin' indoors in the hot summer) and by eating a lot of raw vegetables, seeds like pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds, and always have some protein in the refrigerator to snack on. Hard boiled eggs are cheap and highly nutritious. Hope that helps. :)

    It's with some irony that I note that the post below this one was titled exercise.
    I think that pretty much covers it.
    However to be a little less flippant.

    I have faced the same issue.
    I tend to sit in front of the TV, and eat because that's what you do when you watch TV, sit on the couch and eat.
    I try to keep it to healthier food, such as fruit, nuts, and whole foods.
    So far as the soda, I drink a little ginger beer, or lemon lime and bitters - I use cordial mixed with mineral water.
    The rest of the time I usually drink filtered water, or plain mineral water.

    I've also dabbled with the 5/2 diet, where you eat normally 5 days per week, and eat a reduced diet 2 days.
    I've found with this I become more mindful of what I eat, am more aware of when I feel full, and actually start to feel full sooner than I used to, so this in turn reduces how much I eat.

    Exercise is also important.
    It is a fact that the difference between putting on weight, losing it, or remaining the same, is finding the right balance between the food (energy) you put into your body, and the energy you use.
    You cannot lose weight simply by eating less if you are still not burning off the excess energy or fat in your body.
    Similarly, if you have a good balanced diet and exercise regularly, and ensure you don't consume more food than your body needs you will not put on weight.

    Medications that make you put on weight often do so because they slow your metabolism, reduce your feeling of being full, or increase your appetite.
    I know it all sounds simplistic, and in writing it is, but in practice it is not.
    I hate every time I look in the mirror, and whilst I see a 41 year old man with a slight "spare tyre", my mind sees a grossly overweight slob.
    I also recall being underweight until my mid 20's, and being almost skeletal as a teenager.
    There is no cure for the disconnect between our mental body image, and what we actually appear like to others.
    There is also no quick fix for keeping in shape.
    However the sooner you find a routine you can stick to that works with your other commitments, the sooner you can feel ownership of your health, and both make yourself look and feel better.

    There is no substitute for determination and hard work. and no reward worth having that doesn't require these two ingredients.

    My sister had a similar problem the last six months when she was in another country, she was depressed and stressed out all the time, and also quite bored, as she didn't have much to do and didn't have as much friends as back here. She ended up binge-eating and gaining a noticeable amount of weight, around 25 pounds, despite her high metabolism. She said binge-eating calmed her down and made her feel good.
    She lost the majority of it when I went back though, for several reasons. My company did help make her less depressed and bored, and as I spent a good part of the day with her I could stop her from eating too much. She also stopped herself as she didn't want me to see her eating so much Laughing. And we did things together which stopped the boredom
    In general, if you're a depressed or bored eater, what you really need to address in the long term is the underlying cause, you being bored and depressed. I don't have enough knowledge to say something about the second, but for the first one the answer would be, as smudge said, to find something to fill out your day. A hobby, something you want to learn to do, perhaps go out with friends more often if you like such things, anything productive in general would do. Because if you're bored and depressed it's all too easy to fill up that time with something unproductive, which may not make you gain weight but is still a bad use of your time.
    In the short term, yes, I guess the sparkling water idea would do. Determination and hard work are useful indeed, but they only go so far. Drinking lots of soda is a symptom, not the cause, and if you spend your willpower on fighting the symptoms you'll be wasting it, when you could be fighting the causes instead.

    Seidio SURFACE kickstand case for Nexus 4 review

    Seidio SURFACE for Nexus 4

    Protect your Nexus 4's fragile exterior and pick up some style points at the same time.

     

    The Nexus 4's design has a lot of great features, but one of them isn't durability. With big plates of glass on both sides of the device and easily scuffed plastic around the sides, we wouldn't blame you one bit for wanting a case wrapped around it. Or like many of us, you may have gone without a case on your Nexus 4 at first, and now about 6 months in it has picked up some wear and is in need of a little facelift. 

    Seidio makes many great cases, and it now offers what is called the SURFACE kickstand case for the Nexus 4, and it's designed to take a beating and add a little bit of functionality and style while it does it. Read along after the break for a closer look.

    Foreign leaders shun Lusaka agriculture show | Zambian Watchdog

    The Patriotic Front governement?s jinx with foreign heads of state to grace national events has continued with no foreign leader coming to officiate at the Agricultural and Commercial show.

    Apart Robert Mugabe who has also stopped coming, no head of government or president from anywhere in the World has ever visited Zambia from the time Michael Sata became president.
    Even on his inauguration, there was no other president. But for Kenya?s Kenyanta, who is wanted for crimes against humanity, almost all presidents from Africa gathered for him in Nairobi. K

    After struggling with the International Trade Fair, the Michael Sata governement has allegedly been shunned for the Agricultural and Commercial Show.

    The International Trade Fair was eventually graced by Commerce Minister Emmanuel Chenda, the first time in its history that it had to be opened by a minister.

    Show organizing committee chairperson Joe Mwale said the event will be graced by Republican Vice President Guy Scott.

    Mwale announced that the show will attract about 1000 exhibitors with 22 countries confirming attendance.

    Zambia?s international credentials have been on a downward spiral following Human Rights abuses, lacking on diplomatic etiquette by President Sata that puts off foreign heads of State. No foreign head of state, apart from Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, has visited Zambia in the near two years Sata has been President.

    NSA phone spying document declassified

    WASHINGTON (AP) ? The Obama administration is declassifying documents about its telephone spying program to try to tamp down congressional opposition to domestic surveillance.

    The documents will provide little solace, however, to Americans hoping to understand the legal analysis that underpinned the widespread surveillance.

    And the redacted documents show only in broad strokes how National Security Agency officials use the data.

    One particular type of analysis, called "hop analysis" is hinted at but never fully discussed. That allows to the government to search the phone records of not only suspected terrorists, but everyone who called them, everyone who called those people, and others who called them, as well.

    With that authority, the government can search the records of millions of people in an investigation of one person.
