Biography of Samuel R. Dillinger
Leave a Comment	/ Iowa, Kansas, Pennsylvania
Samuel R. Dillinger. One of the well known families of Clay County is that of Dillinger, which for many years had been active in the grain elevator business, and it had a worthy representative in Samuel R. Dillinger, who is manager of the Farmers Elevator Company at Bennington, Kansas. Mr. Dillinger was born in Des Moines County, Iowa, July 15, 1855, and is the elder of two sons born to his parents, who were Daniel and Nancy (Davis) Dillinger. His younger brother, Daniel Dillinger, came to Kansas in 1886 and is a prosperous farmer in Sherman County.
In tracing his ancestry back several generations Samuel R. Dillinger finds that his paternal grandfather, Daniel Dillinger, was born in 1789, in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where his grandfather had established himself when he came from Germany. Daniel Dillinger followed agricultural pursuits in Westmoreland County and died there in 1845. On the maternal side the grandfather, John Davis, born in 1803, in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, was a descendant of a Hessian soldier who settled in Pennsylvania during the War of the Revolution. John Davis came to the West in the early 50's and settled in Des Moines County, Iowa, where he became a farmer, having previously been a miller. He was married in Pennsylvania to Louisa Groover, and both died in Des Moines County.
Daniel Dillinger, father of Samuel R. Dillinger, was born in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, in 1829, and died in Des Moines County, Iowa, in 1857. He grew to manhood in his native place, where he followed farming and worked at the carpenter trade, and then came to Des Moines County, Iowa, where the rest of his life was spent. In politics he was a whig. He was married in Des Moines County to Nancy Davis, who survives and resided in Des Moines County. She was born in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, in 1836. Her second marriage was to Christian Ziegler, who was born at Baden, Germany, in 1828, and died in Des Moines County in 1914. Mr. Ziegler came to the United States and to Iowa in 1854 and followed farming all his life. Four children were born to that marriage, as follows: David R, who is a resident of Burlington, Iowa, for the past thirty years had been a traveling representative of the same hardware house; William, who is a farmer resided in Des Moines County; Harriet, who married a Mr. Fourner, resided at Fayette, Idaho, where her husband had a nursery and fruit farm; and Lucy, who died in 1905.
Samuel R. Dillinger obtained his edncation in the public schools in Des Moines County and when twenty years old went to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and worked for two years on the farm of his uncle, Samuel Dillinger. After coming back to his native county he worked by the month for farmers for one year. In the spring of 1878 he went to Nebraska and for flve years was engaged in farming in Clay County, then became a grain merchant and went into the stock business and continued his interests there until 1892, when he removed to Thomas County, Kansas. There farming engaged him for a time and for three years he worked for the Chicago Lumber & Coal Company and at the same time conducted an individual business. He continued there until 1900, when he moved to Luray, Kansas, where he became identified with the Midland Elevator Company and bought grain for two years. In 1902 he came to Bennington and went into the grain business here and is now manager of the Farmers Elevator Company, an important business enterprise of this section.
Mr. Dillinger married in 1880, in Clay County, Nebraska, Miss Melissa Belle Gallentine, who is a danghter of Daniel and Sarah (Ritner) Gallentine, both of whom are deceased. The father of Mrs. Dillinger was a substantial farmer in Clay County, Nebraska. Six children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Dillinger, namely: Samuel R., who is manager of the Co-operative Grain Association, operates an elevator at Green, Kansas; Helen, who is the wife of M. F. Fritts, who for three years was connected with the bank of Paradise, Kansas, now resided at Luray; Nellie, who is the wife of W. E. Wing, a lumber dealer at Luray, Kansas; Otis W., who resided at Delphos, Kansas, is in the grain business for the Lord Milling Company; and Letha and Irene, both of whom reside at home.
In politics Mr. Dillinger is a democrat but is not very active in political eircles. He had served for nine years on the school board as proof of his public usefulness. He belongs to Bennington Lodge No. 186, Ancient Free & Accepted Masons, and to Bennington Camp, Modern Woodmen of America. With his family he had membership in the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Appeals court vacates Chattanooga DUI conviction
The Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals has dismissed a drunken driving conviction, ruling that a roadblock that led to the man's arrest in Chattanooga was unconstitutional.
Thursday, August 23rd 2018, 12:18 PM EDT
CHATTANOOGA (AP) - The Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals has dismissed a drunken driving conviction, ruling that a roadblock that led to the man's arrest in Chattanooga was unconstitutional.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports 58-year-old Robert Franklin was convicted in 2016 of driving under the influence after he was stopped at a roadblock in 2012.
Franklin's attorneys argued that state highway patrol officers didn't follow guidelines that call for giving drivers notice of roadblocks and that police violated their client's Fourth Amendment protection against illegal searches and seizures.
Justice Camille McMullen wrote in Tuesday's opinion that police should have posted warning signs about the checkpoint.
Tennessee Attorney General's Office spokeswoman Samantha Fischer said Wednesday that state attorneys are studying the decision and haven't yet decided whether to appeal it.

I am a woman and have a habit of masturbating and I feel sad and guilty after doing this bad habit. I have heard that masturbation is a major sin. Is the ruling same for women, since mostly all the answers are related to men? Please provide reference from Quran and Sunnah. How can I stop this bad habit?
You have heard right that masturbation is haram and major sin. This ruling is for both male and female. If you are unmarried then keep on supplicating Allah for good match and instead of wrong thoughts in privacy keep yourself busy in dua, salah, recitation etc and avoid seeing objectionable picture and yet if you have wrong thoughts then remember the warnings and punishment of Allah. If you do so, in-shaAllah you shall get rid of this bad practice.


Reduce or eliminate varicose veins with minimally invasive treatment options like radiofrequency ablation.
Radiofrequency (RF) ablation is a minimally invasive form of treatment for varicose veins that uses high-energy radiofrequency waves to heat the inner walls of the damaged vein. Radiofrequency ablation treats varicose veins by causing the vein to develop scar tissue and close, thus reducing or eliminating the appearance of the varicose vein on the skin's surface. Dr. Schoenhaus offers radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of varicose veins in Boca Raton.
Varicose veins are swollen and twisted veins that most commonly develop in the legs, though they can emerge in any extremity. These damaged veins inhibit proper blood flow and create embarrassing lines and bulges on the skin's surface. If left untreated varicose veins can increase your risk of developing blood clots and other vascular diseases.
Radiofrequency ablation treats varicose veins with a similar technique to laser vein removal, but uses high-heat radiofrequency energy instead of lasers to break down the damaged vein.
The radiofrequency energy is delivered to the vein through a thin tube or catheter that is inserted through a small incision in the damaged vein. This form of varicose vein treatment is most commonly used to treat damage in the large veins in the legs. Radiofrequency ablation is generally completed as an outpatient procedure.
For enhanced comfort during the procedure Dr. Schoenhaus will administer a mild sedative, so patients receiving radiofrequency ablation for varicose veins should have someone to drive them home following the procedure.
Dr. Schoenhaus will discuss all risks and potential side effects associated with radiofrequency ablation prior to your treatment session. While side effects are rare, they may include mild burning or blood clotting. Risk of post-treatment complication is reduced by wearing compression stockings and following other instructions provided by Dr. Schoenhaus.
Radiofrequency ablation for varicose veins is considered highly successful, with an estimated 90 percent of patients experiencing full relief from their varicose veins after one treatment session.

A pioneer American Polar explorer, Dr. Cook spent two decades in expeditions to both Polar regions and subarctic Alaska between 1891 and 1909. Many authorities acknowledge him as the discoverer of the geographical North Pole in 1908. He was the first American to spend forced winters in both the Antarctic and the Arctic and is credited with saving the "Belgica" expedition to the South Polar regions in 1897-99.
In 1906 his first reported ascent of Alaska's Mt. McKinley (which he was the first to circumnavigate in 1903) was accepted until a bitter controversy arose in late 1908 about Cook's claim to having reached the North Pole on April 21, 1908. Cook was knighted by the King of the Belgians, honored by geographical societies and authored five books about his experiences.

Idea Email: You'll never outsmart Google, so stop trying.
Posted in Content Marketing, Customer media, Digital Media, Idea Email, by Hammock Inc.
Idea: You'll never outsmart Google, so stop trying.
On April Fools' Day 2002, Google ran a very funny spoof blog post about how the company's search results were based on its patented PigeonRank method that utilized birds to find the best websites. Last week, Google rolled out another search algorithm named after birds, Penguin 2.0. This time, it's no joke.
In the decade since that famous PigeonRank parody, billions of dollars have been spent by marketers who continuously try to beat Google's algorithms. The stakes are high: Online sales revenue can hinge on the ups and downs of where a marketer's website shows up in Google's results.
Rather than invest in great websites that will help their customers, many marketers have chosen to invest in trying to outsmart Google. They believed the self-declared experts who sold them bland copy filled with keywords and dubious back-linking plans designed to influence Google.
And for a time, such methods worked.
Search, however, is Google's goose that lays golden eggs. It should be obvious that the company won't stand by while so-called gurus invent methods designed solely to influence search results. Whenever a new "black-hat" search engine optimization (SEO) practice appears, Google's army of engineers will respond.
Penguin 2.0 is the latest version of Google's famed search algorithm designed to crush those who attempt to outsmart Google's search methods with unfriendly or "black hat" methods. In reality, this is good news for marketers and customers (unless you are in the type of SEO business Google is fighting). Sites that are helpful to customers are rewarded, while those that have depended on last month's magic methods of influencing search results are having to start all over.
Great customer media and content that is designed to help, not merely to be jammed full of keywords, will win out in the post-Penguin 2.0 era.
Search marketing done right is rewarded. Google provides a wide array of resources to explain the best ways to help it find your site and products. And sites like SearchEngineLand.com provide independent coverage and white-hat advice for marketers.
But no matter what the smart people at Google do, the smartest thing you can do, always, is this: Sell great products and services and turn your website into the most helpful resource your customers can find on the web.

Josh Gad To Lead "Shrunk The Kids" Reboot
Monday, May 13th 2019 9:30 am
Walt Disney Pictures is reportedly developing "Shrunk," a reboot but also a 'legacy-quel' of classic comedy "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids" with Josh Gad signed on to star in the Rick Moranis role reports Slashfilm.
In the Joe Johnston-helmed original, Moranis played a scientist father who accidentally shrinks his teenage son and daughter (alongside some neighborhood kids) to just a quarter of an inch in size. They must then adventure through their backyard to return home while fending off insects and other massive-sized obstacles.
The new project will reportedly be set in the same universe as the original movies albeit three decades later. Gad will play the grown-up version of scientist and inventor Wayne Szalinski's son, Adam Szalinski who accidentally shrinks his kids.
Though originally said to be in development for Disney+, the project is now reportedly aiming for a theatrical release and is currently on the lookout for a filmmaker to direct.

Why I Hate the Olympics
By Steven Lloyd Wilson | Think Pieces | July 25, 2012 |
I have loathed the Olympics for my entire life. At least there are a hundred other channels now, piles of DVDs, and Netflix these days. Those dark days in the past have receded, when one of the networks would shutdown for weeks in order to breathlessly flood our lives with ice twirling. I am convinced now that not having cable during those times of my childhood was child abuse by foul.
My first exposure to the Olympics was with the original Dream Team, when Michael Jordan and his buddies got together and savaged random pick up teams from the rest of the world while America blew its collective load over just how awesome we were. There were of course the arguments that this was a demonstration of why the Olympics were supposed to be about amateurs and not professionals. But watching amateurs is about as exciting as watching the College World Series, where we watch all the athletes who weren't good enough to be professional. Congratulations, here's your trophy for participating. And if we make it all professional, we've just engineered our way back to the professional sports leagues that already exist.
It's been a tradition for over two thousand years, they insist. The worst to me personally are those who insist that this tenuous tie to history means that I should implicitly care about the Olympics. I'm not sure what seventeen different diving competitions really have to do with the tradition of oil-dipped nude Greeks wrestling each other in between bouts of underage buggery, but here we are anyway.
The proliferation of events for the sake of events makes my ears fashion shivs and stab out their own ear drums. Just listening to a list of swimming and track events is like listening to Bubba talk about shrimp. So when I see the orgasmic delight of talking heads telling me that this is unprecedented, that this swimmer just won his 17th gold medal, I'm more impressed that someone came up with seventeen different ways to swim across a damned pool. I'm sure there are small strategic differences between the myriad of indistinguishable events, but then explain to me why the baseball players don't get separate medals for hitting seven different sorts of pitches, running to four entirely different bases, correctly identifying balls and strikes, catching ground balls and fly balls, blowing the biggest bubble, spitting the sunflower seeds most precisely, and scratching each nut individually and with team synchronization.
It's the false earnestness I hate the most though, the endless little vignettes about how little Jimmy overcame being born in the first world to fulfill his dream of running in circles. Oh but not the hundred meter circles, we mean the two hundred meter circles. For the one hundred meter circles we will instead be talking in awestruck tones about this kid whose name you can't pronounce from a country you've never heard of. His entire extended family was massacred by warlords, but don't you know that his grandmother's dying words were "keep running." Back to you Tom, this heartwarming story has been brought to you by Pepsi.
And I should say that I don't begrudge the athletes, or mock them in the least. They work their asses off trying to do what they do better than anyone else in the world. That is humanity at its most fantastic. But the Olympics as a product, as a thing that a network spends a billion dollars packaging into something to sell ad space, that's the tip of what's objectionable. The fact that people buy it up is what is most upsetting. Those people who are so excited to tell you about how they watched the triple-dodeca-running-thon last night and the boy who raised three blind cats won and isn't it just so exciting? They couldn't tell you where a track is in their hometown. They couldn't tell you if their local high school's track team got shut down because the money ran out. Those people who latch onto some human interest story attached to an obscure sport and pretend that they're a fan and not just a vampiric consumer of emotional porn.
Sports aren't about winning, they're about losing. When your team wins, it's glorious not because you heard some Readers Digest story about their lives, but because you have weathered their losing. And for every time you've screamed in wonder as the replay shows that two toes brushed the turf as time expired, there are a dozen times you've watched them fall short. Being a fan is pain, it's taking on the agony of the losing side so that someday you will get the joy of the other. And every time our team wins, we know that someone else is suffering how we have suffered. The only joy is on the backs of others' losses, not because we're zero sum sadists, but because the agony of losing is the gift we give to the winners. Except the Yankees, because fuck them.
For viewers of the Olympics, this is lost, for they are nothing but fair weather fans jumping on the bandwagon of whoever the talking head tells us has the most inspiring story. And if their long jump falls short of the next guy who the network neglected to do a puff piece on, well now let's flip to the semi-finals of women's curling. There's no investment of emotion, just hit after hit of cheap stolen joy, never feeling the depth of the losses because there's always another winner to move on to. And those fleeting little triumphs don't last longer than the next commercial break because they were never earned. Watching the Olympics is like a succession of one night stands, each blurring into the next, little spurts of enjoyment but none of the deep joy that is grudgingly yielded by years of devotion.

Coronavirus: Legislative Recap
As we have noted in prior Alerts, Congress has passed several pieces of legislation designed to provide important relief around various aspects of the coronavirus health crisis in the past two weeks. See below for a brief recap of these bills.
1. The first bill, H.R. 6074, focused on funding for the U.S. health care system in addressing coronavirus. The bill became law on March 6, 2020.
The legislation provides $8.3 billion to support at the local, federal, and international levels responses to the growing public health crisis. Primary provisions under this bill allot funding for vaccine and treatment development and loans for affected small businesses.
2. The second bill, H.R. 6201, Families First Coronavirus Response Act, was signed into law on March 18, 2020.
This $104 billion bill guarantees free coronavirus testing, provides paid leave, and strengthens food security through additional investments in WIC, food banks, and nutrition for seniors. The bill also provides protection for children who depend on free and reduced-price meals during school and child care center closures.
3. There are plans for a third and possibly fourth bill designed to further stimulate the economy.
The Administration has outlined a $1 trillion proposal which includes:
Airline industry support: $50 billion
Small business interruption loans: $300 billion
Other affected industry support: $150 billion
Checks to individual Americans: $500 billion
Two separate checks, April 6 and May 18
Amounts to be means tested
The Senate Republicans have announced plans to put forward a proposal targeted on four areas:
Small businesses and their survival
Financial assistance to Americans
Airline industry support
Additional assistance regarding health care for individuals, providers, and suppliers
The Senate Democrats have also released a list of priorities. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has proposed a $750 billion package which is targeted at families and includes $400 billion in emergency appropriations to assist public housing, schools, seniors and children. It includes public transportation relief, a further increase in Medicaid funds, and proposals to cancel monthly student debt payments and have the government provide payments.
The situation remains fluid as efforts are made to address the issues that have arisen for both business and individuals.
The stated desire on the part of Majority Leader McConnell is to proceed quickly to the resolution around additional relief.

The contract review checklist is a comprehensive list of every key component that should be examined whenever you are going to sign a contract. It functions as the bare minimum that one should do before agreeing to anything but is no replacement for a professional lawyer.
Contract review is the act of analyzing an entire contract with painstaking attention to detail. This is done to ensure that the conditions laid out are in your best interests. The original document is quite likely to have some term or condition that you may find unnecessary or unfavorable.
If you sign that kind of document without giving it a run-through, then you'll be hard-pressed to have it changed after the contract is signed.
The biggest misunderstanding that a business owner can make is to think that the original contract given to you is absolute. Negotiations are normal, but you must be the one to initiate it.
Reviewing contracts before signing them can help you avoid a lot of trouble in the future. For instance, if the contract you signed was illegal, you would still have to go through a legal process to have that settled.
Contract reviewing also allows you to maintain strong relationships with your partners. If you or another member of the contract is blindsided by some previously unknown condition, then all the goodwill between the involved parties will immediately vanish.
Smart contracts are the best way to keep allies on your side.
The contract review checklist is a valuable tool if you intend on signing a contract without the assistance of a lawyer.
The terms and conditions of the contract are satisfactory for you. These are always negotiable between companies, so don't hesitate to bring up any issues you have with the original offer.
You know who everybody involved in the contract is. Also, consider if an individual that you're working with is currently in a marriage and if their spouse will have any influence over the contract.
You have filled in every space. You don't want to risk having anyone filling in details that you were supposed to.
The terms and quantities are correct. You must be absolutely sure that any business terms and amounts stated on the contract truly represent the intentions and understanding of all parties.
Renewal terms are fully understood. Will the contract renew by default? Will the renewed contract be changed from the original?
Risks have been fairly allocated. Risks are typically transferred to the party that faces the least risk in the agreement. Make sure that all of the risk is being shouldered fairly.
You are aware of any indemnification and hold harmless agreements. These mean that certain parties will not be held accountable for any damages or losses that come from the contract.
You are aware of reference documents tied to the contract. Always read through these as thoroughly as the contract itself.
You understand the terms of default. Under what conditions will a party have failed to deliver on the terms of the contract, and whether you will be able to fulfill the conditions without defaulting.
You understand the remedies provisions. You need to know what the worst-case scenario is if you were to default, find ways to shift liability to someone else, and determine what actions will need to be taken if a default were to occur.
Some other details of the contract are also understood, such as termination, deadlines and important dates, warranties, representations, responsibilities and rights, and dispute resolution.

If there is any uncertainty about any aspect of the agreement, it would be advisable to hire a contract review lawyer to review the contract for you. If you deem it necessary, also have them use the contract review checklist so that you can be sure they didn't skimp on any important details.

Punjab to defend cops who fought terrorism
Two MLAs join Congress
The Punjab Chief Minister, Capt Amarinder Singh, today said that the government would do everything possible to ''defend'' policemen, who had done a commendable job in fighting terrorism. All monetary and legal assistance would be provided to the policemen and regretted that just because some of them could not afford litigation, they were in prison at present. Already a litigation cell, headed by an Inspector-General of Police, was functioning.
Addressing a news conference at his residence, Capt Amarinder Singh expressed his concern at the ''inhuman'' living conditions of security personnel, who had long duty hours and yet did not have even basic facilities like proper kitchens, cooking gas (firewood was used), water coolers, toilets and barracks.
Giving an example of the living quarters of his own securitymen, he said he was appalled to see that they were virtually living in a slum. He personally took mediapersons to the place to show the stinking toilets and what renovation was under way. ''As money becomes available, I would certainly like to improve the housing facility of the police and the paramilitary forces all over the state'', he remarked.
Capt Amarinder Singh, who returned from New Delhi after a meeting with the Planning Commission, disclosed that he had been assured by the Member, Agriculture, Mr Som Pal, that there would be neither decentralisation of the procurement of foodgrains nor dismantling of the minimum support price system.
In his presentation, the Chief Minister had impressed upon the commission that the much-hyped ''food surplus'' was only ''illusory'' because while on the one hand, millions were living below the poverty line, who must be provided with food as per their requirements, on the other hand, much of the stocks lying in the available storage might, in fact, turn out to be ''unfit'' for human consumption.
Capt Amarinder Singh, who was flanked by Ms Rajinder Kaur Bhattal, thanked the people for endorsing the Congress policies pursued in the past 100 days, by overwhelmingly voting in favour of the party in the panchayat samiti and zila parishad elections. The Congress won 79 per cent of the zila parishad posts and 64 per cent of the samiti posts.
He rejected the Akali allegation of foul play during the elections. As the Akalis had been defeated, including on their home turf, Lambi, Malout, etc, they could only cry for a repoll and level allegations. ''It is time Mr Parkash Singh Badal retires from politics. He has grown too old. He should go to a gurdwara and do service", he quipped.
Patting himself on the back, Capt Amarinder Singh said the panchayati raj institution poll showed that people approved of the government fighting corruption and showed that ''good'' governance could pay electoral dividends.
Capt Amarinder Singh said during the Budget session all Congress MLAs would be given forms to fill to provide details of their assets. The forms would be submitted to the AICC Ethics Committee Chairman, Dr Manmohan Singh. "These will not be made public''.
Having taken stock of the state's financial situation, working of the public sector undertakings, state of the economy, both agricultural and industrial, the government, Capt Amarinder Singh said, was now poised to draw the road map for reconstructing Punjab.
He said that the Washington-based Smithsonian Institute has organised a ''black-tie'' dinner on June 12 to raise funds for preserving and protecting the ''cultural heritage'' of Punjab. Though invited to the dinner, Capt Amarinder Singh could not go.
On the question of ''lavish'' spending on the renovation of some of the houses allotted to his close associates, Capt Amarinder Singh was evasive, but aware where the finger pointed.
He also announced the return of Mr Om Parkash Soni and Mr Sher Singh Gaggowal, both MLAs, to the Congress fold.
Capt Amarinder Singh was in his element today. Joyed over the success in the panchayat samiti and zila parishad elections, he shared lighter moments with the mediapersons. For instance, he said, he began his day by devoting one and a half hours to reading newspapers. In order of preference, he began his day with The Tribune. For spice it was The Indian Express and then Hindustan Times, etc. He got language dailies as well, but, amidst laughter, would not say which paper he did not read.
On the question of overspending on the renovation of ministers' houses, including his own, he said when he had a look at the place before shifting it was... (he fumbled for the appropriate word) and smilingly said: "If I use it, it will make headlines''.
Pointing in the direction of the gym, he remarked, tongue in cheek, he had got it redone and got his own machines for the workouts. "The only change I made is the hanging of a curtain that was missing between the gym and the jacuzzi used by ...''.
Soon after the swearing-in ceremony at Punjab Raj Bhavan, Capt Amarinder Singh brought along the new member of the Punjab Public Service Commission, Lt-Gen. Surjit Singh, and introduced him to the mediapersons. The Chief Minister said he was two years junior to General Surjit Singh, who had twice missed the opportunity to become the Chief of Army staff.
Asked why there were ex-servicemen now in key slots in the administration, he quipped: "The Army does a better job. That is why things are working now ''.
Surjit Singh sworn in PPSC member
Lt-Gen Surjit Singh (retd) was sworn in as a member of the Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) by the Governor, Lt-Gen J.F.R. Jacob (retd), at a simple ceremony at Raj Bhavan here today. The slot was created with the retirement of Mr R.C. Gupta.
General Surjit Singh will perform the duties of Chairman till the removal of Ravinder Pal Singh Sidhu, who has been suspended.
The Chief Secretary, Mr Y.S. Ratra, read out the warrant of appointment and the oath was administered in the presence of a select gathering, including some ministers, besides the Chief Minister, Capt Amarinder Singh. Mrs Deep Surjit Singh was also present.
General Surjit Singh had retired in March. He is the only General to have commanded field armies twice and also twice missed the chance to become the Chief of Army Staff, once due to two years' extension in the retirement age and, recently, due to a delay in the implementation of the Chief of Defence Services appointment.
He is a keen environmentalist and a voracious reader. General Surjit Singh comes from Nawanshahr, where he had his preliminary education. He has a son and a daughter, both married. His son is working in a multinational company.
Commissioned into the Army in 1961, he saw operations in 1965, 1971 and has worked in the East, leading his men against insurgency. He is a recipient of the PVSM.
General Surjit Singh said he was a member of a team that was required to function in a transparent and efficient manner and provide to the state the best available manpower for administration. It was a challenging job and he would do his duty, making use of his Army background, where any task assigned must be done.
Asked if he and his wife had planned a quiet life after retirement (he has put in 41 years of service) and whether he took his wife's permission before accepting the new job, he laughed and said: "It is a challenge, which I have accepted".
Initiate power reforms, Pant tells Punjab
The Punjab Chief Minister, Capt Amarinder Singh, has reasons to feel happy. His request to the Planning Commission for special allocation of Rs 50 crore to meet government obligations in the border districts has been partially met.
Following the presentation made to the Deputy Chairman , Dr K.C. Pant, in Delhi on June 10, Punjab's Rs 2,750 crore Annual Plan (2002-03) stands enhanced by Rs 43 crore. It is now pegged at Rs 2,793 crore.
The bottom line of the Chief Minister's presentation was how Punjab proposed to take a U-turn to put the economy back on the rails. Therefore, he emphasised that the Commission must intervene to bring ''greater equity'' into the relationship between the state and the Central government, as also provide additional central assistance.
Dr Pant, while landing Punjabi entrepreneurship, regretted that the state's economic growth had slowed down. It was 5.2 per cent in 1980-81 to 1996-97 and decelerated to 4.67 per cent in the first three years of the 9th Plan period. Referring to the structural changes in the economy in the past two decades, he said, the contribution of the primary sector to the gross state domestic product declined from 49.13 per cent in 1980-81 to an estimated 40.49 per cent in 1998-99, while that of the secondary sector went up from 20.01 per cent to 29.44 per cent in the same period. The share of the service sector has virtually remained stagnant at around 30 per cent.
Punjab achieved the 9th Plan target of foodgrain production, mainly due to the wheat-paddy rotation. This, however, has had an adverse effect on soil health, as also resulting in the over-exploitation of groundwater. The commission wanted Punjab to diversify into fruits, vegetables, floriculture, oilseed, sugarcane and cotton. ''Biotechnology should form an important component of the programme of second push to agriculture and allied sectors."
On irrigation, the commission advised Punjab to improve the system net-work, as the state had harnessed 98 per cent of the available irrigation potential.There had to be better management of water resources. In the same breath, Dr Pant spoke about implementing the decision of the Chief Ministers and Power Ministers conferences to charge at least 50 paise per kwh for agricultural consumption.
The Punjab State Electricity board was incurring commercial losses, he noted. The average tariff charged in 2001-02 accounted for only 65.4 per cent of the average cost of supply. Of the total available power, the agricultural sector consumed 28.47 per cent for which farmers were not charged. Unmetered supply to farmers concealed the actual level of losses during transmission and distribution. "The state should initiate power reforms in right earnest'', he added.
The commission expressed concern over the losses incurred by Punjab Roadways, Rs 89.35 crore in 2001-02. This was due to a large, obsolete fleet of buses and huge revenue expenditure, coupled with sluggish revenue receipts due to concessions.
There was visible concern over literacy. The rate is slightly higher than the national average but at least in seven districts it is below the national/state average. There is also preponderance of Scheduled Castes and low-income group students among dropouts.
The sex ratio was specifically mentioned by the Deputy Chairman. The female-male ratio, which was 882:1000 against the All-India figures of 927:1000, has, according to the 2001 census, dropped further to 874 against 933 for All-India. This trend could have serious repercussions, if allowed to continue unchecked.
The commission's advice, in a nutshell, is that Punjab must take a ''holistic view'' of developmental issues at this stage.
Capt Amarinder Singh assured "reforms'', hoping the commission would enable Punjab to change its economy. The commission projection was that Punjab was the slowest growing state. But then the commission, as also the Centre must help the state grow. The Chief Minister observed that the share of central taxes to states was much lower than projected by the 11th Finance Commission. He also suggested to the commission that the formula governing central assistance must be revised from the present 70 per cent loan and 30 per cent grant to 50 per cent loan and 50 per cent grant.
Taking a broad view of the commission's advice, Capt Amarinder Singh said the burden of loans must be reduced by allowing states to ''pre-pay the high cost debt''. Such rescheduling of debt would be ''monetary policy neutral''. He also urged Dr Pant to provide higher open market borrowings.
Some of the central agencies earned huge profits at the cost of states by charging high rate of interest on loans. This was unfair. Capt Amarinder Singh pleaded that since the government was downsizing its public sector undertakings and improving its fiscal management, the commission and the Centre must help the state financially in drawing up attractive voluntary retirement schemes.
CM to 'secure' package for Punjab
Tribune Reporters
Pathankot, June 11
Mr Ashwani Kumar, member, Rajya Sabha, and Chairman of the Vichar Vibhag cell, AICC, said here yesterday that the Congress would extend full support to the Central Government to combat cross-border terrorism, but will not compromise on the issue of national security and integration.
Mr Kumar said the President should be elected through consensus after consultation with other political parties.
Mr Kumar, who was addressing a gathering at the felicitation ceremony organised by Mr Ashok Sharma and other Congressmen on his arrival at Pathankot after being elected as member, Rajya Sabha, said he would work to revive the Punjab economy. He said Capt Amarinder Singh and other Congressmen would meet the Prime Minister for securing a special package for Punjab to bring its economy back on the rails.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr Sharma, MLA, thanked Mr Kumar for sparing time to visit his constituency.
He said Mrs Sonia Gandhi, AICC President, Capt Amarinder Singh, Chief Minister, Punjab, had strengthened the party and enthused party workers. He said the Congress had always protected the interests of the weaker sections of society.
GURDASPUR: Mr Kumar, talking to newsmen here on Tuesday said that Punjab's demands, including distribution of river waters and merger of Chandigarh and other leftout areas with Punjab, would be his priority in the coming Rajya Sabha session.
Regarding construction of the SYL canal as per the decision of the Supreme Court, Mr Kumar said the Congress was looking for constitutional means to withhold the construction. He added that the Eradi Tribunal was yet to give its decision regarding distribution of river waters. The Congress would put up its case before the tribunal that Punjab could not spare even a drop of water and hopefully the decision would be judicious, he said.
Political parties should not pursue policies which endangered the unity and integrity of the country. He accused the BJP of pursuing such a policy in Gujarat in spite of communal tension in the state.
Mr Kumar said the move to reappoint India's a High Commissioner in Pakistan and allowing Pakistan the use of Indian airspace have lessened tension between the two countries and are steps in the right direction. He said he favoured diplomatic offensive to isolate Pakistan.
He said the people of India had made up their minds to change the government at the Centre. The Congress had formed governments in 13 states and was sure to increase its tally.
Abolition of posts halts promotions
Sarbjit Dhaliwal
The Punjab Government's order to abolish all vacant posts and those which are likely to fall vacant in various departments has applied brakes on the process of promotions of the employees in the state.
An order issued by the Punjab Chief Secretary, Mr Y. S. Ratra, has directed the administrative secretaries and head of various departments to not fill the posts lying vacant and those which are likely to fall vacant due to retirement or other reasons. The order stated that all such posts should be deemed abolished forthwith. A post, thus, abolished could only be revived with the prior approval of the Council of Ministers after seeking the advice of the Department of Finance.
Mr Ratra issued the order to enforce the decision of the cabinet sub-committee to reduce non-plan expenditure on salaries and allowances of government.
While enforcing the order, the authorities have stopped the filling of the posts of block education officers, superintendents, deputy directors and other officers. The authorities concerned interpreting the Chief Secretary's order said since the post falling vacant because of retirement was supposed to be abolished, therefore there would be no promotion to fill that post.
Earlier, most of the posts falling vacant at middle and higher level used to be filled by promotion on the seniority basis from the employees eligible for the post within the department. Since the Chief Secretary has directed not to fill such vacant posts and abolish the same, the process of promotions in various departments has been halted. The Punjab Non-Gazetted Employees Organisation has submitted a representation to the Chief Secretary, Mr Ratra to issue the clarification urging the authorities concerned that the posts falling vacant at the higher level should be filled by promotion by following the earlier practice.
Mr Oma Kant Tewari, general secretary of the organisation, said the Chief Secretary had assured that he would issue clarification. A representation had been submitted to the Chief Minister today requesting him to revise the order. Mr Tewari said as many as 200 officials had retired last month awaiting their promotion and about a similar number of employees would retire this month. He said that the government should first abolish the posts of Financial Commissioners, Principal Secretaries, Special Secretaries and DGPs, ADGPs and others at senior level. He said the government was wielding the axe against junior-level employees. He said the employees had been feeling demoralised following the ban on recruitments. Besides, the government had not paid 4 per cent DA in cash to employees, he said.

Akali MLAs to meet PM on law & order
Akali MLAs, led by SAD President Parkash Singh Badal, will proceed to Delhi on June 14 to meet Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and Union Home Minister L.K. Advani the next day to apprise them of the "deteriorating" law and order situation in the state.
Mr Badal said he had met the Prime Minister and the Home Minister last evening in Delhi to seek an appointment regarding the meeting of MLAs with them.
Meanwhile, Akali legislators, according to Mr Badal, have submitted a motion to the Speaker of the state Assembly, Dr Kewal Krishan, seeking full debate on the "political murders" and the "deteriorating" law and order situation in the state. Mr Badal said the Akali leaders and activists would not rest till Congress minister Gurchet Singh Bhullar was arrested in connection with the murder of Akali leader Gurdial Singh and his certain close relatives at Bhikhiwind last month. Mr Badal alleged that Mr Bhullar was behind the murder.
After addressing a group of Akali workers, who had come from the Valtoha constituency to stage a dharna at the local Matka Chowk to seek the arrest of Mr Bhullar, Mr Badal said he would keep his promise to the people of the constituency that those involved in the murder of Gurdial Singh and others would be made to face the law of the land. Several family members of Gurdial Singh, including his widow, Gian Kaur, his sister Jeevan Kaur, his brother Nau Nihal Singh, along with others, had come here to participate in the dharna.
As we are expecting no justice from Capt Amarinder Singh's government on this issue, we have also planned to move to high court to seek a CBI probe in this case". He said before getting any inquiry conducted, Capt Amarinder Singh had given a clean chit to Mr Bhullar.
He said Akalis were not even being allowed to hold rallies and were being sent to jail even for using their democratic right to protest.
Mr Manpreet Singh Badal, in charge of the publicity unit of SAD, said his party's MLAs would not allow the Assembly to function till those involved in the "political" murders were arrested.
Among the others who addressed the dharna were Mr Adesh Partap Singh Kairon, Mr Ajit Singh Kohar, Mr Gurdev Singh Badal, Mr Raj Mohinder Singh, Mr Rattan Singh Ajnala, Mr Swaran Singh, Mr Veer Singh Lopoke and Mr Surinder Singh Kairon.
Crucial SGPC-Centre meeting tomorrow
Even as the Union Home Minister has convened a crucial meeting to amend the 77-year-old Sikh Gurdwara Act, 1925, on June 13 at Delhi, Mr Kirpal Singh Badungar, President, SGPC, has decided to lodge a protest against inviting of Chief Ministers of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Governor, Union Territory, Chandigarh at the meeting, Mr Badungar said as per Nehru-Tara Singh Pact 1953, the Central Government could make any amendment in the Act with the consent of SGPC only and hence the Chief Ministers had nothing to do with such meetings.
Earlier, Bibi Kiranjot Kaur, General Secretary, SGPC, had lodged a strong protest when Chief Secretaries and DGPs of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh had attended the meeting on May 17 in the office of Union Home Secretary, at Delhi with regard to the amendment in the Gurdwara Act. Talking to TNS, she said though the Union Home Secretary had assured her that he would record the dissenting note of the SGPC, yet representatives of other states at the meeting, proposed to be held on June 13 was bound to create unsavoury situation. She said the SGPC could not tolerate the intervention of any state in the Act or Sikh affairs.
Bibi Kiranjot Kaur alleged that during the meeting held on May 17, representatives of the Punjab Government had rejected the proposals of the SGPC without any reason while the representatives of Haryana had supported the same on the ground that it was the prerogative of the SGPC to make such suggestions.
Mr Badungar said the main agenda of the proposed meeting to be held on June 13 (earlier the meeting was scheduled for June 12) would include the demand for deleting the word 'Sehajdhari' from the Sikh Gurdwara Act 1925. Such an amendment would deprive the 'Sehajdharis' the right to vote during the SGPC elections. Another point of discussion would be reducing the age limit of SGPC voter from 21 years to 18 years. The SGPC has also sought amendment to the Act to ensure that the general elections of the SGPC and local gurdwara committees should be held simultaneously.
In yet another demand, the SGPC has asked the Centre that instead of Deputy Commissioner, Amritsar, Chairman of the Sikh Gurdwara Commission should preside over the first meeting of the SGPC after its elections.
The SGPC, however, has reportedly decided not to discuss the issue of 'one man, one post' at the proposed meeting to held on June 13. It may be mentioned here that the SGPC executive had decided that if any MLA or MP was also elected as SGPC member he or she should not become an office-bearer or executive member of the Shiromani committee. The move was aimed at debarring Bibi Jagir Kaur, Simranjit Singh Mann and Mr Gurcharan Singh Tohra from contesting the forthcoming election of the SGPC President. However, Mr Badungar said since the issue was not passed by the general house, it could not be part of the agenda of the proposed meeting.
No commitment from Power Minister
Funding of Shahpur Kandi Project
Is Punjab suffering for want of funds in the power sector due to non-implementation of the power sector reforms agreed upon at a central-level meeting a few months ago? In the reforms is an inbuilt system to do away with subsidies or at least rationalise them to logical limits.
Today the suffering was even more evident. At a function here, the Union Power Minister, Mr Suresh P. Prabhu, did not make a public announcement about future funding of the Shahpur Kandi Project despite cajoling by the Punjab Governor, Lieut-Gen J.F.R. Jacob (retd). The dam — an important one on the Ravi river — is a desperate need but the non-committal minister reflected the mood of the Power Ministry. Later when media-persons asked the minister about funding for the dam, the minister did not give a clear answer saying "Though it is on the list of projects but funds are not earmarked in the immediate future."
Without the dam, the waters of the Ravi which have been allocated for use to India under the Indus Water Treaty, 1960, are flowing waste to Pakistan as no barrier exists to prevent the flow. The Prime Minister, Mr Atal Behari Vajpayee, made an announcement while formally commissioning the Ranjit Sagar Dam in October last.
Sources in the power sector in Punjab said the question of funding such huge projects is directly linked to reduction in subsidies.
Actually during the function today, the Punjab Governor was present in his capacity as UT Administrator. During his speech at the commissioning of the 220 KV sub-station in Chandigarh he exhorted the Union Power Minister to make an announcement about the Shahpur Kandi Project. He said: "On behalf of the people of Punjab I request the Minister to release the funds for the Shahpur Kandi Project at the earliest". In his typical informal way the Governor asked the Minister to come forward and make an announcement but this was resisted by the Union Minister. Seeing his discomfort the Governor did not insist. Later, the Minister told reporters that Punjab and Haryana had to follow the principles agreed upon for power reforms in the country.
It may be recollected that a few months ago the Minister had come for another function in Punjab where he made it very clear that populist schemes would have to go.
Murder suspect exonerated
Sucha Singh, the NRI brother of Dalo, has been exonerated in the Dalo murder case and the "supari" angle sought to be given by the killer Pawittar Singh has turned out to be a ruse, a press note said here today. Dalo of Mauli village was kidnapped last month by his friend Pawittar Singh of Sadana village robbed of Rs 30.35 lakh, strangled and buried at Nawanpind village falling in Phillaur. The police had exhumed the decomposed body of Dalo on June 6 after nabbing Pawittar under Sections 364, 302, 120-B, 34 of the IPC. Pawittar had alleged that Sucha Singh, the younger brother of Dalo, who was settled in the UK, was behind the murder.
Sucha Singh, however, come to India and presented himself before local DSP Harmanbir Singh Gill who after a thorough probe, found him innocent. Sucha Singh had told the DSP that he had joint accounts with his brother Dalo and as such could withdraw money whenever he wanted. The police found that Pawittar Singh, a relative of Sucha Singh , had committed the crime all by himself and kept the entire amount of Rs 30.35 lakh robbed from the victim. Pawittar Singh, who is currently on a seven day police remand confessed during investigation, that he had himself strangled Dalo, the DSP added.
Move to sack PCMS docs opposed
In response to a call given by the PCMSA, doctors of the state wore black badges today in protest against the decision of the Punjab Government to terminate the services of all 872 doctors selected during the tenure of former Punjab Public Service Commission Chairman Ravi Sidhu and the proposed move of the finance committee to abolish the NPA.
In a press note issued here, Dr Hardeep Singh, president, and Dr Surinder Singla, general secretary of the association, said the association members had pleaded the case of 872 colleagues but had not received any positive move from the Chief Minister. Dr Hardeep said these doctors had been serving in rural areas of Punjab for three to four years.
The PCMS doctors thanked the Health Minister, Dr R.C. Dogra, for strongly representing the case of doctors to the Chief Minister and urged Capt Amarinder Singh to reconsider the decision.
Regarding the NPA issue, the association demanded that the proposed move of finance committee should be halted immediately as NPA was a right of doctors.
The PCMS doctors wore black badges and protested at the Civil Surgeon's office, ESI hospital and civil hospitals at Ludhiana, Jagraon, Khanna and Samrala. Dr Hardeep Singh said similar protests were held at Hoshiarpur, Jalandhar, Sangrur, Faridkot, Gurdaspur, Bathinda, Fatehgarh Sahib, Amritsar and Ropar.
NAWANSHAHR: Doctors working in the civil hospitals, dispensaries and primary health centres of the district today wore black badges to protest against the state government's proposed move to terminate the services of more than 850 doctors appointed during the tenure of suspended PPSC Chairman Ravi Sidhu and to abolish the NPA. This was stated by Dr H.S. Gupta, regional secretary of the PCMSA, in a press note issued here.
Probe ordered into former Mayor's working
The state Local Bodies Department has asked the Vigilance Bureau of the Punjab police to conduct an investigation into the alleged irregularities committed by the former BJP Mayor of Jalandhar Municipal Corporation, Mr Suresh Sehgal, during his five years of tenure.
Talking to reporters after the oath-taking ceremony of the newly elected councillors of the civic body at the MC office here yesterday, the state Local Bodies Minister, Choudhary Jagjit Singh, revealed that his department had asked the Vigilance Bureau to conduct a thorough probe into the alleged irregularities committed by Mr Sehgal during his tenure as Mayor.
When asked whether the department was considering to hand over the investigation into the multi-crore scam involving senior officials and some builders, who had erected huge buildings allegedly in violation of building bylaws throughout the city, the minister said that he was unaware of the matter.
The Vigilance wing of the Local Bodies Department, during a raid on the MC office last week, found from the official records that about 7,300 legal notices, issued to building defaulters during the past five years, were deliberately "suppressed" and no action was taken with regard to realising "compensation" fee, estimated to be Rs 100 crore, from them.
Choudhary Jagjit Singh said strict action would be taken against the erring officials and the decision regarding the handing over of the investigation to Vigilance Bureau would be taken only after receiving the report of the department's Vigilance wing in this regard.
The minister further said that the Punjab Chief Minister, Capt Amarinder Singh, had been authorised by the newly elected councillors of all four municipal corporations in the state to appoint mayors and his decision was expected by June 22.

The proceedings of the House were conducted in Punjabi by the Speaker.
There was little interaction among Akali and Congress MLAs in the House. Only Mr Gurdev Singh Badal met Capt Amarinder Singh briefly in the House while other Akali MLAs led by Mr Parkash Singh Badal left the House well before the Chief Minister.
It is worth mentioning that Capt Amarinder Singh and Mr Parkash Singh Badal have not exchanged pleasantries in the House yet.
Golden Temple serais being 'misused'
Alleging blatant misuse of serais attached with the sacred Golden Temple, Mr Puran Singh Josh, senior SGPC member of the Shiromani Akali Dal, accused the caretakers of the serais of letting out rooms to "mischievous and unscrupulous" elements in the premises of the Golden Temple.
In a press note issued here today, he stated that the rooms which were meant for the devotees free of cost were being hired at Rs 100 to 200 by these elements.
In addition to that, 'langar', which was cooked in the temple premises, was being served there with extra helpings while that being served in the temple was without these extra seasonings. Approximately, a hundred persons were served 'langar' in each serai attached to the temple. There were some persons who ate all their meals there and several policemen also eat 'langar' regularly by paying the staff. Moreover, it was learnt from reliable sources that the 'langar' cooked there was also sent to the houses of some important persons against the 'maryada'.
He said Guru Hargobind Niwas was one of the most misused serais out of the five serais attached to the Golden Temple.

DC patronising defaulters: DEO
Sushil Goyal
Dr Malti Batra, District Education Officer (DEO), primary, here today accused the Ropar Deputy Commissioner, Mrs Seema Jain, of patronising local defaulters allegedly involved in the Rs 136-crore scam in the Education Department. On the other hand Mrs Jain refuted the allegation levelled by Dr Batra, saying that neither she was aware of any such scandal or inquiry nor she was patronising anyone in the case.
Addressing a press conference here today, Dr Batra said she wanted that appropriate action should be taken against the alleged defaulters. She further said senior officers of the Education Department of the district and posted at Chandigarh were involved in the scandal. She also stated that in the scandal senior officers of the department siphoned off money through purchase of articles from "bogus" firms, withdrawal of money from welfare grants and fee collected from the students.
She added that she had written to the Deputy Commissioner in this regard. She also released the letter to the Press. She requested the DC to restrain the defaulters from threatening her. She alleged that the DC was pressuring her not to initiate action against the defaulters.
When the mediapersons contacted Mrs Jain, Deputy Commissioner, in her office today regarding the allegations levelled by Dr Batra, she refuted the allegation with regard to pressurising Dr Batra for not taking action against the alleged defaulters. She said she had come to know about the scandal only after May 31 when members of the district unit of the Government Teachers Union, Punjab, submitted a representation to her against Dr Batra, in which they had presented their grievances.
The Deputy Commissioner said, she had called both parties on June 6, but Dr Batra did not turn up and had sent a letter to her on June 4.
Dr Batra said the permission to hold a press conference at the local Canal Rest House was withdrawn which had been granted to her earlier. The Deputy Commissioner said she had not prevented anybody from going there. She said the rest house was already booked due to the panchayat samiti elections.
Dr Batra also stated that she had not received salary for the past 62 months in the absence of the last pay certificate (LPC) from the authorities concerned.
Regarding the suspension of four employees of the secondary wing of the department by her, Dr Batra said she had the powers to do so.
Varsity admission racket accused arrested
The police has arrested Parmanand, the main accused in the fake admission racket at Guru Nanak Dev University.
It may be mentioned here that Dr Kalia in his inquiry into the admission of Rakesh Kumar in the MCA course last year had found prima facie that Parmanand, the then PA to Dean, Academic Affairs, in connivance with Dr Kahlon, head of the Computer Science and Engineering Department, had taken over Rs 2.5 lakh from the student for accommodating him in the MCA course.
The scam was detected when Rakesh Kumar was allotted the roll number issued to another student for the first semester papers.
The police officials refused to divulge the details of interrogation. When contacted, Mr Narinderpal Singh, district police chief, said the police had still not found any proof against Dr Kahlon and they were investigating the case further.
Meanwhile, Mr Rakesh Kumar, the complainant, has alleged that the case was not being properly prosecuted in accordance with law as the police had not nabbed Dr Kahlon, the other accused.
Abohar boy tops AIIMS exam
Determination, hard work and self-study, that's what it took to make Abohar boy Abhinav Sidana a topper in the prestigious All-India Institute of Medical Sciences examination.
"The competition is very tough and seats very limited. One wrong question and you are out of the game. For the 34 seats of the institute, we have the best students competing from all over the country. Never in my dreams did I think of topping the examination," said an excited Abhinav, speaking on the telephone from his home.
A student of Army School, Fazilka, he said that he was regularly in touch with a coaching centre in Chandigarh and studied there on weekends.

ROME (Reuters) - ROME, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Inter Milan captain Javier Zanetti has denied he plans to join Jose Mourinho at Chelsea, despite newspaper reports he could move into coaching at the London club.
"I have a great rapport with Mourinho. We hear from each other frequently, but we've never discussed these things," the 40-year-old Argentine told the Inter Channel.
"I believe the Inter fans know how I feel about this shirt. I've always stressed that this club is my life and my home. And it's my desire to stay here. I don't need to add anything else."
Zanetti's contract with Inter runs out at the end of the season and media reports in England suggested that former Inter manager Mourinho wanted Zanetti in a player-coach role.
Zanetti has been at Inter for nearly two decades, helping them win five Serie A titles.
He played under Mourinho during the Portuguese's two-year spell at the club, when they won the Champions League and two league titles.
Inter are fifth in Serie A under coach Walter Mazzarri and host struggling Cagliari on Sunday looking to close the 11-point gap separating them from third-placed Napoli who host Genoa on Monday.

← DO WE HAVE A PRAYER?
This has the potential to be monumentally huge (no pun intended). President Trump stands poised to take on the Federal Government's right of ownership over public land, including the National Monuments act of 1906.
I have blogged on this subject in the past but really felt that I was merely blowing against the wind, taking a position that no one else would seriously consider. I approached the subject from the standpoint of a strict constructionist after searching the United States Constitution for any mention of federal land ownership apart from that detailed in the Enumerated Powers, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17.
Although land usage authority is mentioned in other places, nowhere is the government given authority to acquire any land that expands on the above mentioned article, section and clause.
It would not be possible to undo everything done in contravention to this section of the constitution, France will not be reclaiming most of Middle America, but it might be possible to drastically reduce the size of the Federal overreach.

Last week, we went out of town, so J called Z to let her know that we wouldn't need her to come on Tuesday to clean. He didn't rely on an interpreter but chose to try out his Arabic.
"What's the problem?" she asked, maybe thinking we were unhappy that she left "early" Saturday, while we were out running errands.
"No problem," he replied. "We'll see you on Saturday."
Only Saturday rolled around and no Z, no phone call, just...nothing. It was the anniversary of the first revolution, and the thought crossed my mind that maybe it was a holiday, but I ran this idea by an Egyptian friend who came over for a visit that day and she was skeptical of that being the reason Z didn't come.
This is not good, but it is not necessarily bad either. It is, in fact, very emblematic of the problem I have with her: We cannot communicate with each other. It is a constant source of frustration for me (and for her, I'm sure). I wake up on Tuesdays and Saturdays, full of stress because she is going to be in my house all day. Not an ideal situation now; will definitely not be an ideal situation when I am zombified from the fatigue of dealing with both a newborn and a toddler. Even if I had the desire, which I don't, to immerse myself in Arabic, there is no way I could make progress quickly enough to make a difference.
When Mark was small, I had a wonderful babysitter who spoke no English and my Spanish was very limited. We managed to communicate through her daughter until Mark picked up enough Spanish and we could communicate through him, too.
Ultimately, we both learned to communicate without them and it was awesome. She was worth it. She was awesome!
Your situation would be difficult, especially considering some of the other issues you've mentioned. Hope it all works out.
I wish I could say Z would be worth it and perhaps it is unfair to say she wouldn't be, but as you pointed out, the other issues I've had tell me that it is time to move on.
Sorry, it didn't workout for you, but it sounds like if the situation is causing you stress then it's the right thing to do.
