He said the traffic police was ready to work out a solution with the college authorities. On its part, the traffic police can only focus on regulating the traffic inflow and every effort is being made in this regard, he added.

Shopkeepers in the area suggest that the college should use its back gate during peak hours to make sure that commuters taking the main road are not put to unnecessary inconvenience. The proposal to make the road one way also fizzled out because students of the college were against it.

Last year, Apple upstaged pretty much every other company in the gadget world with the unveiling of the iPhone, and this year, the rumor mill is hot and heavy with speculation about a tablet for the Mac line. As I do every year at this time, I recently called up the folks at Apple and asked them what to expect from Steve Jobs when he takes the stage for his keynote on Jan. 15. And as they do every year, the folks at Apple told me nothing. So if they won't tell me what they're working on, I'll tell them what I want for the new year.

That's why McCain is really not the best person to lead the attack. He's too volatile and prickly. If he comes off in the same way he came off in the Reagan Library debate, we're all doomed. So you have to find a VP who can do what McCain can't -- stay cool. Condi has been cool, and about much more pressurized opponents than this.

We can check our own population growth, or Mother Nature will do it for us. .
