Peach Buzz
As the more weighty aspects of the conversation tailed off, the subject of Romney's time in Salt Lake City as savior of the 2002 Winter Olympics arose. Handel wondered out loud whether Romney knew Donny Osmond, who was rumored to live in Utah. He said, yes, he knew the family. Politicians often wear their frailties on their sleeves. For Handel, an otherwise intelligent and mature 45-year-old woman of serious accomplishment, it is a lifelong crush on a boy pop singer. She still suffers from puppy love. She has "The Best of Donny Osmond" on her iPhone. "It is a specific age group. It's for those of us who are between 40 and 48," Handel explained. With Romney and Handel that particular day in May was Eric Tanenblatt, former chief of staff to Gov.
Now, saline water worries flood-hit Malwa farmers
After suffering heavy losses due to water logging this kharif season, farmers of the Malwa region are a worried lot with their fields still inundated and the wheat-sowing season already in the offing. With over 50 per cent of their paddy and cotton crops totally perished, the land tillers in villages of Bahmanwala, Takhtmalana, Jhabelwali, Chadhewan, Thandewala, Widing, Udaikaran, Chauntara, Bajja, Vattoo, Haraj, Sarainaga and Jammuana helplessly watched the migratory birds in their flooded or marshy fields. They are looking for remedies to get rid of the menace of sem (saline water logging in fields). As one walks over these sem-affected fields, the feet sink in the earth as if the water below is waiting to come up. The sem has blackened the top layer of soil. A farmer will have to plough such a piece of land at least four times to make it fit for cultivation.

What the Kennedy endorsement means
A throng of Kennedys came to the Bender Arena at American University in Washington to endorse Obama. Caroline Kennedy evoked her father. Sen. Edward Kennedy's slightly hunched form carried with it the recent history of the Democratic Party. The Kennedy endorsements will help among working-class Democrats, Catholics and the millions of women who have followed Caroline's path to maturity. Furthermore, here was Edward Kennedy, the consummate legislative craftsman, vouching for the fact that Obama is ready to be president on Day One. But the event was striking for another reason, having to do with the confluence of themes and generations. The Kennedys and Obama hit the same contrasts again and again in their speeches: the high road versus the low road; inspiration versus calculation; future versus the past; and most of all, service versus selfishness.
