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
901-01-2014 Hobby India Fortnightly
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
1001-01-2014 Hobby India Fortnightly
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
1101-01-2014 Hobby India Fortnightly
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
1201-01-2014 Hobby India Fortnightly
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
