You get 90 seconds. That’s it. An

excruciatingly brief slice of time to

showcase months of hard work,

with 11 other couples snapping,

slinking, shimmying and swiveling

hips on the same dance floor as you

execute your best cha-cha. Switch

to the samba and repeat.

The Ohio Star Ball, held at the

Greater Columbus Convention

Center each November, is

recognized as one of the largest

ballroom competitions in the world.

Anastasia Maria Gordeeva, 19, has

competed three times in Latin

ballroom—the cha-cha, samba,

rumba, paso doble and jive.

Although the Reynoldsburg High

School senior has yet to win or place,

she relishes the experience.“You

grow and learn from competition,”

says Gordeeva, who has placed first

in smaller contests. “The whole week

before, you go through the routines

in your head. It’s about muscle

memory. The judges just stare with

their clipboards. You have to smile,

not be tense, not bump into anyone.”

Gordeeva discovered dance relatively late, at 13. Her mom, Olga, says it was

all about the dress. “Anastasia saw a red dress I had designed and her

eyes got large like saucers,” the professional seamstress and costume

designer remembers. Gordeeva’s coach and mentor, four-time U.S.

national ballroom champion Bill Sparks, claims it began when she watched

a young friend dance at the studio: “Anastasia was a bit tomboyish and

thought it was not her thing, but her ability was apparent from the start.”

The 4.0 valedictorian, who moved here from St. Petersburg, Russia, with her

mom and brother in 1999, checks in at her high school campus for orchestra

practice—she’s a violinist. Then she travels to OSU for macroeconomics,

political science and the like; she’s amassed 35 college credit hours.She also

works two jobs. At Panera Bread, she’s behind the counter serving up lattes

and smoothies. At the Youth Ballroom Dancesport Academy, where she trains

with Sparks, Gordeeva instructs youngsters in the finer points of ballroom

dance: rhythm, foot placement and attitude.

“Make sure you get that full

range of motion,” she

implores. Three small girls

and a boy face the mirror,

hands on hips, right feet

perfectly pointed. The little

blonde in the sparkly silver

skirt briefly slumps. “Stay

tall!” Gordeeva says firmly,

then, smiling, continues. “Two, three, four and one, cha-cha-cha!”

Gordeeva readied six pairs, ages 6 to 13, for the Arnold Youth DanceSport

Classic, held in early March. “Most got first place!” she exclaims, beaming.

“But the preparations were grueling.” At the same time, the three-time Arnold

Classic dance competitor and her partner, Duy Phan, were polishing their own

routines. For the competition, Gordeeva went heavy on the tanning mousse and

slipped into a sizzling black and silver sequined dress designed by her mom.

Her plans to study international business at OSU in the fall have been shelved

for a teaching and training opportunity at a large dance studio in Wisconsin.

“Going professional opens many doors in dance,” Gordeeva says.

With this job, explains Sparks, “She gains business skills, improves as a teacher

and, most importantly, as a competitor.”

He smiles, blue eyes twinkling. “She could be a champion.”

Arvind Kejriwal passes floor test, butdodges Opposition's questions

When Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal rose to speak on the

motion of confidence, it was expected that he would answer the

questions raised by the BJP and the Congress MLAs during the

discussion, point by point. However, in his 20-minute long speech,

which was high on emotions, Kejriwal ignored some of questions

while giving a strong rebuttal to many others.

The two big decisions that the Kejriwal government has taken

since it assumed office on December 28 — free water up to 20

kilolitres to every household with functional meter and 50%

reduction in power tariff to customers who consume up to 400

01-01-2014 7 Hobby India Fortnightly

units in one billing cycle — were questioned by leader of the

opposition Harsh Vardhan and Delhi Congress chief and MLA

Arvinder Singh.

Interestingly, both Vardhan and Singh were on the same page

when it came to criticising the new government’s decisions on

power and water.

“You are taking decisions in a hurry,” Singh said. “Water subsidy

is not benefitting many and you have actually made water costlier

in Delhi,” Singh added. “If you are so concerned about the poor,

why did you raise water tariff by 10%?” Vardhan asked.

On the issue of giving subsidy to power consumers, Vardhana

and Singh questioned the logic of diverting taxpayers’ money for

other purposes. “You will have to divert money from the heads

of the other departments to fund the subsidy.” Kejriwal, though

he accepted that his decisions would only benefit a few, ignored

pointed questions on where the money would come from for the

freebies that his government has announced.

The chief minister, however, reiterated that his government would

take strictest action against the corrupt — both in the previous

Delhi government and the BJP-ruled civic bodies.

“The condition of education, health, roads, water and power is

bad in Delhi because the politics is bad,” the chief minister said.

“We are here to provide a corruption-free politics and governance

to the people of Delhi,” said Kejriwal. By repeating the promises

his party made in election manifesto, Kejriwal said he wanted to

see how many members in the assembly were ready to support

the issues that concern the aam aadmi of Delhi.


PM’s address at Diamond Jubilee Celebrations of UGC

Following is the text of the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh’s address at

Diamond Jubilee Celebrations of UGC, in New Delhi today: “I am delighted

to participate in the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of the University Grants

Commission (UGC), an organization with which I have an old association.

Today brings back very fond memories of the year 1991 when I had the

opportunity to serve as the Chairman of the University Grants Commission. It

has been a very meaningful journey for the UGC ever since it was established

in 1953. Its contribution to the cause of Higher Education has been widely

acknowledged. I congratulate all those who have helped build the organization

in the past 60 years. These 60 years have also seen a complete transformation

PM Inaugurated Diamond JubileeCelebrations of UGC


of the Higher Education system in our country. The process of change has

accelerated particularly in the past 10 years, which have been marked by an

unprecedented expansion of the Higher Education facilities in our country. The

rapid changes of the recent years have also implied greater challenges for the

UGC. As the principal regulator of Higher Education, the UGC has done very

well so far. However, the tasks that lie ahead require fresh thinking and innovative

ways of doing things. I am sure the Commission will utilize the occasion of its

Diamond Jubilee to reflect on how it should evolve in the future to be able to do

full justice to its onerous responsibilities. I would suggest that it should also now

play the role of a national ‘think-tank’ and organize a professional and purposeful

discourse about issues that have a close bearing on the sound management of

Higher Education system in our country. In the last 10 years, our Government

has put unprecedented emphasis on education at all levels- Primary, Secondary

and Higher. I think it is in this period that the criticality of educational opportunities

for the growth and development of our country and for the empowerment of our

citizens has been fully recognized. This period has also seen a very rapid expansion


of the Higher Education system. Several new institutes have been set up, including

23 new Central Universities, 7 Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), 9 Indian

Institutes of Technology (IITs), 10 National Institutes of Technology (NITs), 5

Indian Institutes of Science Education & Research (IISERs), 4 Indian Institutes

of Information Technology ( IIIT), and 2 Schools of Planning and Architecture

(SPAs). Several steps have also been taken to make the Higher Education

system more inclusive. These include reservation of seats in Central Educational

Institutions for the OBCs; establishment of new degree colleges in educationally

backward districts, establishment of polytechnics in un-served and under-served

areas and support to students from the disadvantaged sections of our society.

We have also made a sincere effort to leverage the potential of Information and

Communications Technology to strengthen the Higher Education system. The

National Mission on Education through Information and Communications

Technology (NMEICT) was launched in the year 2009. So far about 400

universities and 20,000 colleges have been provided high speed broad-band

connectivity under this mission. Under the National Program on Technology

Enhanced Learning (NPTEL), web and video courses are being developed for

engineering and humanities streams. All these efforts have shown visible results.

For example, the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in Higher Education, which

was 11% in 2005-06, almost got doubled to 19.4% in the year 2010-11. The

GER for women in Higher Education increased from 9.4 to 17.9% during the

same period. Our Government is committed to carry forward the work of

strengthening the Higher Education system with even greater energy and sense

of purposefulness in the future. In the coming years we will not only continue

our focus on the 3 Es of Expansion, Excellence & Equity, but also add a fourth

E of Employability. The recently launched Rashtriya Uchttar Shiksha Abhiyan

(RUSA), recognizes the importance of the State Higher Education institutes

which cater to a majority of the students receiving Higher Education in our

country. It aims to create 278 new universities and 388 new colleges and to

convert 266 colleges to Model Degree Colleges by the end of the 13th Five


Year Plan, besides providing infrastructure grants to 286 State universities

and 8500 State colleges. With the recent approval of the National Skill

Qualifications Framework (NSQF), our country now has an integrated and

unified qualifications framework linking technical & vocational education on

the one hand with general education on the other. This is a part of our efforts

to encourage skill development in a big way so that a trained workforce is

available to meet the needs of our growing economy and new opportunities

for productive employment are created in large numbers. It will now be possible

for people who have acquired training through non-formal channels to get

their skills certified and therefore get better opportunities in the formal job

market. As a country, we can be reasonably proud of the achievements of the

alumni of our premier institutes of Higher Education. They have done

exceptionally well in a diverse range of areas all over the world. However,

even our premier institutions do not figure among the best in the world and

quality in general remains a huge concern in the Higher Education sector. This

brings me to the related issue of shortage of faculty in our institutes of Higher

Education. This problem is likely to become even more acute with the expansion

that is planned in the coming years. I would urge the University Grants

Commission and other stakeholders in the Higher Education system to urgently

consider the issues of quality and shortage of faculty and find innovative methods

of resolving them. Our university system needs to put much more emphasis on

research and more specifically on enhancing the number and quality of the

doctoral programs. It is important to note that inter-disciplinary perspectives

are the cornerstone of present day research. We must therefore ensure that

inter-disciplinary research takes firm roots in the culture of our universities.

We must reverse today’s situation where individual departments largely operate

as islands, and there should be greater focus on problems that engage the

faculty in inter-disciplinary research. A substantive research initiative should

also be designed to specifically address issues of critical national importance

like climate change and disaster management. There is also an urgent need for


strengthening the university – industry interface to give a boost to Research and

Development. This would be of immense benefit both to the university system

and Indian Industry at large. Today, our universities depend largely on research

grants for undertaking research. Greater support from Industry will not only

lead to better research outcomes but also enable Industry to utilize these

outcomes for meaningful practical application. It may be worthwhile on the

part of our university academics to make a detailed study of how this interface

works in other countries so that we can replicate the international best practices.

The ability of our universities to promote innovation excellence in teaching and

research requires that they operate in an environment of academic freedom.

This requirement of academic autonomy has to be balanced with the need for

ensuring accountability. Let me take this opportunity to reaffirm that our

Government stands committed to putting in place appropriate policies and

institutional structures for ensuring the academic autonomy of the institutes of

Higher Education in our country. Although the demand for Higher Education

has increased enormously over the years, the Central and State Governments’

financial support to institutions of higher education has declined in real terms.

New models of financing higher education, based on well established norms,

and improvements in the existing system of funding by the Central and State

governments, therefore, are critical concerns. State universities in particular

require focused attention and support to improve their quality of teaching and

research. I am happy that the Rashtriya Uchhtar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) is

addressing this issue. The integrity and authenticity of basic statistics about our

institutions of Higher Education are critical for informed policy planning and

strategic interventions. This points to the need for strengthening the university

information management system on a priority basis. I am happy that the UGC

proposes to institute awards in the name of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru for individual

excellence in the areas of Science, Humanities and Social Sciences, Technology,

Fine Arts and Culture. I hope these awards will contribute towards promotion

of high quality research. These were some thoughts that I wished to share with

you today. Let me end by wishing the University Grants Commission and the

Higher Education system all the best for the future. The UGC has served our

country with great distinction in the first 63 years but I venture to think that the

best is yet to come and my very best wishes for the future.”

Government amends AICTE Act

The eight month old Supreme Court ruling on the All India

Council of Technical Education (AICTE) Act reducing much of its

powers, has been amended by the Government. The AICTE, in

charge of maintaining the standards of technical education in the

country, began in 1945 as an Advisory body. AICTE received

statuary status in 1987 however a recent Supreme Court ruling

stripped many of AICTEâ??s powers stating that colleges

affiliated to a University do not come under the category of

technical institution.

The decision for the amendment was announced by Higher

Education Secretary, Human Resources Development Ministry,

Ashok Thakur. Until the AICTE act is officially amended a

temporary arrangement has been set up under which AICTE will

set standards for technical Institutes and the respective

Universities will provide affiliation. The institutes would still

need to be assessed from National Board of Accreditation.

Although the Law Ministry has given their approval for the

amendments and interim arrangements regarding AICTE it will

still take time due to the Lok Sabha polls. The plan to coordinate

between AICTE and University Grants Commission (UGC) will

be finalized at a AICTE UGC meet on 10th January 2014 under

the committe head, Ashok Thakur. The AICTE accreditations are

relevant for the following fields: Engineering, Technology,

Architecture, Town Planning, Management, Pharmacy, Applied

Arts and Crafts, Hotel Management and Catering Technology at

different levels for training and research.

The cities adding the most high-paid jobs

Since 2009, nearly a quarter of all new jobs in the U.S. — more than 1.1

million — have been in just five low-skill occupations, according to the

most recent data from Economic Modeling Specialists International: food

prep and serving workers (which includes fast food); personal care aides;

retail salespersons; home health care aides; and waiters and waitresses.

Fifty-three percent of new jobs since the end of the recession have come

in occupations that pay less than $13.83 per hour. Still, the further

removed we get from the recession, the more high-wage job growth is

likely to pick up — and with it will come more jobs and better earnings

potential for lower-skilled workers. This trend is reinforced by the findings

of a new report from EMSI and CareerBuilder on America’s job outlook

through 2017. The report makes clear that the labor market is becoming

increasingly bifurcated, with the number of high- and low-wage jobs

expected to expand at or near 5 percent through 2017, while in the

middle-wage category, 75 percent of all occupations are projected to lose

jobs. Furthermore, for metro areas with strong projected job growth in

high-wage occupations, low-wage job growth — especially in the service

sector — is a natural corollary. This concept of high-wage and low-wage

job growth going hand-in-hand might sound strange, but it’s been well-

documented by regional economists. Jobs created in high-wage, export-

oriented industries do more than increase the number of well-paid workers

in those industries; they also lead to job openings in lower-paying service

industries in their city or region — which means more jobs for the baristas,

cashiers, and retail clerks who make up a large portion of any local

economy. These are the cities that we project will add the most high-

paying jobs through 2017
