I was even more startled when the break in the tradition came from the normally affable and polite Prithviraj Chavan who this week refused to attend the foundation stone laying ceremony for the Nagpur metro project by Narendra Modi; he had earlier been heckled in Solapur by BJP supporters much as the Haryana and Jharkhand CMS were earlier in the week.
However, while Chavan's decision was clearly on instructions by his party high command, I also believe Modi also has breached the etiquette as demonstrated by his inability to rise above being just a regional chieftain warring with other chief ministers to being a Prime Minister responsible for the whole country's well being.
Some of us in Bombay believe the run-in was started by Chavan who could not resist rubbing it in to Modi during the inauguration of a special economic zone in New Bombay that it was actually Maharashtra and not Gujarat that led the country on almost all the parameters.
But that still does not explain why Modi supporters should heckle Haryana's chief minister, unless Modi was insecure about Haryana's parameters which leads Gujarat on several fronts as well.
But what about Jharkhand which is indisputably backward and should not give Guajrat any complex whatsoever. The Jharkhand chief minister too has expressed dismay at how he was heckled in his own state by BJP supporters the same day as Chavan chose to boycott Modi.
I recall when I began my career in the 1980s, Andhra Pradesh chief minister N T Rama Rao was usually in direct confrontation with Mrs Indira Gandhi when she was prime minister.
He had set up the Telegu Desam Party in direct opposition to Mrs Gandhi as he felt she had insulted the state's chief minister in full public view at the Hyderabad airport.
But when he became chief minister he swallowed his bile enough to receive her at the airport and she too was gracious in acknowledging his efforts to speak in Hindi at the function she was attending so that she could understand what he was saying.
I do not remember any run-ins between Rajiv Gandhi and chief ministers from opposition parties while he was the prime minister, nor do I remember any confrontations between Atal Bihari Vajpayee and any Congress chief minister.
So I wonder at Modi's insecurity complex that makes him put up supporters to heckle the rival leaders, for we have always known that leaders who encourage such sloganeering at public functions are always those who carry chips on their shoulders about something or the other and are essentially flexing their muscles before the rest of the world.
Now with protocol broken for the first time by a Congress chief minister, some Congressmen in Maharashtra are worried about the impact this may have at the coming polls in the state. But there is another section which is suddenly energised by the show of aggression by their normally pusillanimous leadership — they were bold enough to show black flags to Modi, again something that I do not remember happening with any other prime minister, at least in Maharashtra.
However, the Congress are past masters at boycott – starting right from the days of freedom fighting when they boycotted British goods to calling for them to quit India to more recently when they boycotted George Fernandes for his alleged involvment in the coffin scam during Vajpayee's regime.
That time they had refused to ask him questions in Parliament or listen to his replies driving the defence minister quite crazy after a while.
However, I did not think Congressmen were goose enough to be booed out of anywhere but the current boycott has obviously been very calculated. They have nothing to lose considering it is not Chavan but the more in your face Narayan Rane, who is in charge of their campaign in Maharashtra and combined with Sharad Pawar's campaigning skills and art of smoothing things over, they stand the best chance of scoring one over Narendra Modi and the BJP.
Still, it is the Congress which has been the first to breach the protocol much as the BJP too has thrown magnanimity and conventiobn to the winds and turned every government function into a political tally. I quite despair for the quality of leadership in India.]]>
Of course, it is unforgivable of any political party in this country to hoist the national flag upside down but I wonder if my lack of complete outrage is because even I was once part of a group that had hoisted the tricolour with the green strip up and the saffron one down. I was living in a girls' hostel whose Anglo-Indian matron was somehow more patriotic than all the rest of us put together. A nurse in a British hospital during World War II, she had chosen not to "migrate" to the UK at Independence and though hundreds of her countrymen made fun of her British accent and terrible Hindi, she always strived to get everything Indian right.
So there was no mercy for any of us under her care on both Independence Day and Republic Day – if we thought we could sleep in late, loll around or make it a holiday, we had rude awakenings. All had to be up early and on the terrace of the building by 7:30 in the morning sharp – and we were not permitted in pyjamas or nighties. We had to offer proper respect to the flag — to be bathed, dressed and fresh and bright-eyed for the celebration of our freedom ad our republic. Because they always sang hymns in the chapel Sunday mornings, on these national occasions, Ms Dennis made it a point that, apart from the national anthem, we had some patriotic songs – 'saare jahan se achcha', 'o aye mere watan ke logon' – ready upon our lips. We had to sing in unison at the top of our voices, much as the hymn-singing was enforced in the chapel every week. And Ms Dennis never failed us on the sweets and candies – lollipops as well as laddoos. In later years, as I became more politically conscious, I always wondered at her devotion to the Indian flag and the Indian republic for I would never have bothered with distributing laddoos for Independence Day!
However, even with all that enthusiasm and earnestness in her heart, one Independence Day, Ms Dennis got her flag code wrong. None of us had any clue either. It was a huge fluttering tricolor, she had lovingly wrapped fresh flowers into its fold and she always allowed a different girl each year to hoist the flag. After the claps and the songs, a special breakfast and lunch was always laid out for us in the dining hall. That year, even as we were exclaiming over the feast at lunch, one of the workers at the hostel rushed upstairs in panic. There were cops at the door, she said. We had committed some serious offence and they had come to investigate.
They were just constables but they were dead serious to find out if we had been playing deliberate mischief. It took some time for comprehension to dawn upon us and then Ms Dennis was suddenly shattered. "Oh, how could I have done that! How could I have got it wrong! Am I under arrest?"
But the two cops were absolutely floored by the sincerity of her breast-beating and contrition. They were somewhat flummoxed at that intense reaction and now turned into comforters rather than law enforcers. "It is ok, Madam. It is ok!"
"No, no! It is not ok! At least I should have known. I was at the Red Fort when Panditji unfurled the flag for the first time. How did I not notice!"
"Just go up and turn it around. Not too many people might have noticed," they said, voluntarily offering to bend the law and look the other way.
We all rushed upstairs and lowered the flag before dusk- against the flag code again — with the cops looking on benignly and quickly retied the strings to get the saffron strip up. Ms Dennis then put us through the ceremonies again. With the cops standing in smart salute as the flag went up a second time that day, the national anthem rang out again on the terrace of that girls' hostel that afternoon.
"Just take care from the next time or you could go to jail," they said as they prepared to leave.
But Ms Dennis did not let them go without partaking of the Independence Day feast. They were bemused, of course, but ate like gluttons. Since special meals at our hostel were restricted by the plate, we wondered whose portions they may have dipped into. We learnt later – Ms Dennis went without food that day. "It was my penance," she said without any rancour. "I had sinned. I had to repent."
Never before or after did I ever hear any of my countrymen ever associate sin with hoisting a national tricolour wrong. But Ms Dennis that day taught me what it had meant to our forefathers to get freedom from the British. And how much they valued the symbols of that freedom, I still get goose bumps every time the Indian flag goes up and I see smartly uniformed people standing in salute.]]>
"Aap itni achchhi Hindi kaise bol leti hain?" he asked me in utter surprise.
I launched into yet another explanation about how my mother tongue was really Hindi and not Tamil or Malayalam, as most presume it should have been. Although of South Indian origin, my mother had been brought up in Madhya Pradesh and we all started life speaking Hindi. As we grew up we switched to English – my father did not speak Hindi too well and my mother did not want our Hindi pronunciation corrupted by his Kerala accent.
Today most of my friends find it difficult to believe that my origins are indeed South Indian – I speak English, Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, even some French. But no Tamil or Malayalam. That is because English was the bonding language at home and my father – a defence scientist – was always posted in the north of India. But barring the language, we are all equally comfortable with the culture of the south as we are with that of the north and my father used to proclaim proudly to all his friends that his children were truly the products of national integration.
When my aunt's British friends once came visiting India, they were impressed by my near-flawless English. "Except for `going to go' you make no mistakes at all while speaking English," they said in wonder. "Where do you get it from?"
Now, unlike what most people presume, I was not "convent educated". I did my schooling from something as home grown as Kendriya Vidyalaya where my English language texts were always one year behind those studied at the convents. I was always the subject of ridicule by my friends at these schools because the Rapid Reader I was learning out of in Class V was the one they had already completed in Class IV. And yet I grew up speaking and writing better English than any of these girls ahead of my own English texts could ever do for themselves. In fact, I ended up with better English from Kendriya Vidyalaya than those with life-long study at convents and Jesuit institutions ever did.
My proudest moment arrived one day in Paris at a mid-career course for journalists – with all nationalities present at the institute we were divided into two basic groups – Francophones and Anglophones. While the Pakistani, Sri Lankan and Nepali, my sub continental colleagues at the institute, too, were in the group of Anglophones, they did not find a place on the editorial board of the magazine we produced. I did. But that was not my triumph. That came later. One of the person on the editorial board was a haughty Englishwoman who still believed in treating the rest of us, including the Australians and Irish on the board, like colonial slaves but she soon came up short against my English. She went from dictionary to dictionary – Oxford, Websters, Chambers, Australian, Canadian and all the other editions as well – to get her spelling of `catastrophe' even as I insisted that the word was spelt with an `e' and not `y'.. "I come from a country where there are so many catastrophes that I have good reason to know that word," I told her.
When no dictionary co-operated with her, she pulled out her pocket Oxford to say. much like King Henry, "My dictionary will give me the `Y'." It didn't. So she `let it pass', even as I did not say, 'I told you so'.
There were several such run-ins – with me and the others — over many other words and she rapidly became the most unpopular person on that team. Then one day as we all sat silently at our computers putting the final touches to our stories, she looked around at a room full of hostile colleagues and picked me out as the friendliest of the lot. "How do you spell rain?" she asked.
"Depends upon what sort of rain," I said. "There are three spellings with three meanings."
"As in a king's reign," she said
As I gave her the spelling, she asked "And is that the same as in a horse's rein?"
"No," I replied. That goes without the 'g'.
'Thank you' was all that she said and swiftly exited even as the whole room broke into applause – the Canadians, the Australians, the Asians and the Africans, all from once colonised countries speaking English. The delicious irony was missed by none of them. And, of course, my French hosts at the institute, traditional rivals of the Brits, were delighted. I did not tell them for they would not have understood – to me it was more than just a triumph, it was my very own revenge on Lord Thomas Macaulay!
Against this background when Shatrughan Sinha discovered that I spoke the purest form, of Hindi and put me to the test with a conversation longer than just two or three sentences, I was delighted to reply to him with all the 'aaps' and 'aaiyegaas' that my mother had taught us to use in formal conversation. Even at home, she banned the `tu' and the `main'. 'Hum" was the preferred form of address in both the singular and the plural, that I dropped only when I came to Bombay and became familiar with its Bollywood slang. But at my Paris institute it had been, Bollywood Hindi had been the binding factor between me and my sub continental colleagues — whenever we wanted to block the others out of our conversations. Of course it was a mish mash of Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi and Nepali words along with some Tamil that came from the Sri Lankan and Malaysian in the group but we all understood each other perfectly well.
So as the current dispensation deliberately creates a controversy over language and sets Hindi against English – when the latter continues to be the aspirational language of all classes – I recall what a professor of mine at university had said about the subject even as the Hindi versus English debate was causing riots on the streets even then. "Languages are supposed to unite. In India they only divide."
As someone who has written a book in English but loves writing long, rambling letters (whenever I can take a break from my smartphone) to my cousins in equally proficient Hindi, I simply do not understand why that should be so.]]>
In the 1990s, the bulk of the BJP's seats came from these two states – and Bombay had nearly 60 per cent voters belonging to either Bihar or Uttar Pradesh. With their relatives threatened with violence in Bombay, they, in turn, threatened the BJP – with the withdrawal of their support for the BJP in these core states that gradually led to the BJP's decline in the cow belt of India that has taken nearly two decades to recover in 2014.
But while parties like the Sena and the BJP can only fume at the Uttar Bhartiya migrants, I wonder why no government in so many decades has done much for the people of these states – like, create job opportunities on their own home turf that will stem the migration into other cities. I am, of course, of the view that the more the migration into cities like Bombay and Delhi, the more it means that these two cities are thriving and therefore sought after. Look what happened to Detroit in the US when it went after Indian and Chinese automobile workers in the late 1980s in their 'dot busters' campaign. 'Dot' meaning the bindis that Indian women wore on their foreheads – it forced Indians in the US into more international attire but the Chinese could do little not to stand apart ethnically. Soon both Indians and Chinese moved out of Detroit and other such cities which are a dead zone economically speaking today.
However, it was former Maharashtra chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh who gave me a unique insight into the problems that thriving cities and governments of such states face from migrant populations. Bombay gets 350 families every single day arriving at its various railway stations from various towns in UP and Bihar. Constitutionally, they have the freedom to travel, live and work anywhere they please. So, Deshmukh said, as a chief minister who had sworn to protect the constitution, he could never demand their deportation or denial of ration cards.
But the double jeopardy to such states was that while the migrants come in because these cities are thriving, the Planning Commission denies them funds on the grounds that they are more developed and self-sufficient and hence require less central assistance than days like UP and Bihar. "Unless the chief ministers of these states utilise the extra funds they get for development purposes properly to generate employment opportunities in their own home states, such migration will never cease and we will continue to suffer in terms of imploding infrastructure, bursting populations and tremendous pressure on our resources — we will have to continue to just grin and bear it."
I thought Nitish Kumar had made a good beginning by generating employment opportunities in Bihar in recent years but somehow Uttar Pradesh seems beyond the pale and as primitive as ever. I have male friends from these states who sometimes wish to return home – but without exception their wives refuse to do so. Friend after friends has told me that if they insist their wives say, "You go back. I will stay here with the children."
That is because Bombay is a safer city for women, they can go shopping to the markets on their own, they can drop and pick up their children from school without hassle, there is no fear of kidnappings of both women and children and the sense of freedom – of not being dependent on their male relatives for anything – is simply too precious to give up.
Stands to reason, then, why from taxi drivers to professors no migrant from UP or Bihar ever wants to return and why the pressure continues to grow n cities like Bombay and New Delhi.
But stopping them from migrating to bigger better cities is not the solution. Deshmukh had told me, "I want to tell the chief ministers of those states that they must focus more sharply on development and improving the quality of life of their people but it is not my place. I am not the Prime Minister."
Well, I think a Prime Minister with a `chappan ki chhati' can work up the gumption to lay the law down to these states in this regard. I think Modi owes it to the people who have invested so much faith in him at the Lok Sabha polls and given him such a sweeping victory from these states – without which he might have been far short of his huge majority. That much at least is owed to the people of UP and Bihar. And also Bombay and Delhi who gave the BJP a cent per cent victory. If anyone can do it now, Modi can, he has no reason to just grin and bear it.]]>
But the most remarkable thing seems to be that, never mind the Lok Sabha results, no party seems to be in any position to reign over the others – each one is leaderless and floundering for a raison d'etre and looking for an issue that could take it over the hump at the assembly elections in October.
If Gopinath Munde had still been alive, I would have said that given the Narendra Modi factor, the BJP could have won this election hands down. But without Munde, who knew Maharashtra like the back of his hand, there is no leader in the party as yet who can step into his shoes and make a lasting difference to his party's fortunes.
The BJP was largely dependent on the Shiv Sena for the assembly elections but now the party is chafing at the bit – and why not? For Uddhav Thackeray, the leader of the Shiv Sena after Bal Thackeray's passing away, is no chip off the old block and perhaps does not have it in him to lead his party to victory – I agree with Narayan Rane that the Sena victory at the Lok Sabha elections was owed entirely to Modi. His cousin Raj Thackeray too is floundering and while he has declared himself as a chief ministerial candidate, it is doubtful how many seats he can win this time around – the two together might have done wonders but despite the best efforts of many well-wishers of the Shiv Sena, the cousins refuse to sink their differences and reunite.
The situation is similar with the Congress-NCP combine – they hate each other from the bottoms of their hearts but power is the glue that makes them stick together. However, even here the Congress does not have a leader or a campaigner – despite the best efforts of Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan, I am not sure how much he might succeed in keeping the Congress's neck above water.
That leaves us with only Sharad Pawar – the single leader of consequence that Maharashtra has been left with. But Pawar , it is now clear, has become a neta confined to western Mahrashtra and now increasingly troubled by dissensions in his own party as well as family. He can be expected to know the state best and win it against the odds but his own personal and business compulsions are getting in the way of his political proficiency – increasingly trusted by fewer and fewer of his own men and even less by his ally, the Congess, I am not sure he will be able to pull off a miracle in the coming polls.
However, unlike in April when more than a hundred Congressmen joined the BJP and won the elections too, there does not seem to be a scramble towards the saffron alliance this time round. There are ample numbers of dissatisfied leaders in both the Congress and the NCP – notable among them Narayan Rane and Chhagan Bhujbal, both formerly of the Sena but while they may be dissatisfied by their current parties, they seem to be ruling out a return to their roots: their disenchantment with the Shiv Sena seems to be permanent (a does Raj's) and the BJP no real option in view of the left of centre ethos of Maharashtra that has voted against its core philosophy only once – at the last Lok Sabha elections.
No one is sure which way the elections might go this time around but even if opportunism prevails the dislikes and distrust are so entrenched in the minds of the state's politicians that they are stuck in their grooves and are unlikely to shake off their disadvantages in time to win the next elections.
However, that does leave one with an interesting situation wherein every leader is threatening every other with exposure and – to use Narayan Rane's words in the context of Uddhav Thackeray – a `vastra haran' of the other. Since they have been in all the major political parties or alliances, they can be expected to know each other's secrets and at least I am waiting with bated breath the revelations they have promised in the future.
The political discourse may not be very edifying at the moment but at least it is a lot more chatpataa, if I might use that word, for want of a better one in the English language. Nevertheless it is a sad commentary on the state of affairs in India that established political parties have hardly any leaders of might and consequence today – and if they do, their discourse is limited to just threats and abuse.
It should be an interesting election in the next eight weeks, I should think.]]>
The book, published by HarperCollins India, was previewed in Bombay on Monday at an event organized by Literature Live wherein HT media advisor Vir Sanghvi discussed Thackeray inside out with former editors Kumar Ketkar and Bharat Kumar Raut (the latter is also a former Shiv Sena MP) and I was very glad that the portrait that I have painted fell perfectly into place with the images that Sanghvi and Ketkar evoked of the man, even though Raut was hard put to defend a violent demagogue and his flip-flops over the decades that kept his politics alive, of course, but perhaps diminished both the city and the people he loved beyond compare.
Shiv Sainiks might not be too happy with what I have written but painstaking research over three years went into that effort and the picture that emerged at times startled even me, the veteran Maharashtra political journalist who was on the Shiv Sena beat the entire length of my career. I would have thought I had seen it all but reporting contemporary events for the modern times are perhaps different from background, motives and consequences of those events. While I will leave it to readers to get the book and read it for them here are some excerpts from the preface which I hope will tell them something about my own reasons for demystifying Bal Thackeray:
This book is not a biography of Bal Thackeray. Nor is it even a definitive history of the Shiv Sena. It is merely a labour of love for my subject matter that hopes to explain to readers unfamiliar with his life and times — and those who have only a narrow view of his parochial politics — the phenomenon that was Bal Thackeray. And why and how he succeeded when others, his peers and those better equipped, may have tried and fallen by the way side.
There is no gainsaying the fact that Bombay – or Mumbai as it is now known – would not have been what it is today had it not been for Bal Thackeray. In reality, the very fact that it is known as Mumbai is Bal Thackeray's gift to the Marathi-speaking people of the capital city of a state (Maharashtra) which has more people speaking languages other than Marathi and might have quite lost its Maharashtrian flavour had it not been for the Shiv Sena and its Sarsenapati.
I am not a biographer. Nor do I claim to be a historian. But as a journalist, a reporter who worked the difficult Shiv Sena beat for years, I had an inside view of events that unfolded, particularly from the mid-1980s when I began my journalism in right earnest, to the peak of Bal Thakeray's powers in the mid to late 1990s and the waning of his influence in the early part of this century.
The mid-1980s was also the period when Thackeray was making a paradigm shift from being just a regional leader to the protector of Hindus across the country. I recall when I attended a mid-career course for journalists from across the world in Paris, France, my Pakistani colleague at the Centre pour le Formation et le Perfectionnement des Journalistes, awaiting me with trepidation. I wondered at his hostility and put it down to the usual India-Pakistan stand-off. But then half an hour into my conversations with my new colleagues at the CFPJ and making friends across the room, he suddenly cheered up to say, "Oh, but you are not anything like Bal Thackeray!''
We were then just into the 1990s and the demolition of the Babri Masjid had not yet happened. But even before the infamous 1992-93 riots of Mumbai, my Pakistani colleague told me Thackeray was the most feared and most hated Indian in Pakistan – and also the most well known politician from India. "My heart sank when I saw your name on the list of students this year,, I thought all Hindus were like Bal Thackeray,'' he said
…Years later, as the Shiv Sena went more and more parochial and, apart from Muslims, began to target North Indians of all hues, I was stunned to receive an e-mail on one of my stories for the Hindustan Times from a North Indian living outside Mumbai and Maharashtra, saying she was beginning to hate all Maharashtrians because Raj Thackeray's shenanigans led her to believe that all Maharashtrians were narrow-minded, parochial, unwelcoming and goonish who routinely beat up so-called `outsiders.
I was startled because my mother who hailed from Madhya Pradesh and had settled in Maharashtra long before Bal Thackeray had formed his Shiv Sena in 1966 always sought out Maharashtrian neighbours whenever we moved homes (my father was with the defence ministry) . "They are peace loving, non-aggressive and keep to themselves…''. Bal Thackeray's subsequent parochialism came as a surprise to her.
I believe most Maharashtrians are still like my mother thought they were. However, Bal Thackeray is certainly responsible for changing the character of some of his followers from one of non-intrusion to one with invasive tendencies and I hope the observations I have made in this book – based not just on my experience but also that of a large gamut of Maharashterians who hate the manner in which their character has been portrayed by the shenanigans of the Shiv Sena, will help readers elsewhere in the country to understand and overcome the notion that every last Maharashtrian is a clone of a Bal or Raj Thackeray.
Indeed, Thackeray's very own son, the present leader of the Shiv Sena, Uddhav Thackeray, is a gentleman in the truest sense of the word who has been trying hard to change the character f his father's party from militant to moderate… I am sure he will eventually succeed.
A large portion of my interactions with Bal Thackeray were at a time when I worked for a wire service – the United News of India – which required the feeding of instant reactions to unfolding events across the world. On December 6, 1992, I called Thackeray for just such a reaction to the demolition of the Babri Masjid – tragically, even I did not realise, in my lack of experience at the time, how his tendency to sometimes portray himself as something he was not, could lead to a tragedy of such immense proportions as the riots of December 1992 and then January 1993. As Vir Sanghvi, my first editor at the Hindustan Times, now media advisor to the newspaper, and one whose political insights are second to none, explains in the foreword, Thackeray was always a victim of his own imagery. I would extend that to say he had no qualms about making false claims if it suited his political interests to do so – he knew very well his Shiv Sainiks had not demolished the Babri Masjid, as I explain in the chapter titled `The Weather Cock'. But he went ahead and claimed credit for it anyway because it suited his pro-Hindutva image of those times… I refuse to believe he had a personality disorder that led his to flip-flops; they were almost always hard-headed and cold-blooded political decisions without a thought to the consequences.
You either loved Bal Thackeray or you hated him to the core. There were no half measures about the Hindu Hriday Samrat. But in my interactions with him, I often found you could not either love or hate Bal Thackeray to exclusion. Whatever his public posturings, in private conversations, he would always acknowledge the truth.
…There is much in this book that blind supporters of Bal Thackeray might disagree with. I started writing it while Thackeray was still alive pp I wish he were still alive – I would have loved to discuss every issue with him (and compelled him) to acknowledge the truth.
Now this is my tribute to Bal Thackeray, the most colourful political leader of our times who has no peer and who can have no challenger to equal his achievements even in the future.''

Leo V, (born , Priapi?, Italy—died September 903), pope from August to September 903. Elected while a priest to succeed Pope Benedict IV, Leo assumed the pontificate in a dark period of papal history. He was deposed and imprisoned by the antipope Christopher. Leo was perhaps murdered, either by Christopher or his successor, Pope Sergius III (904–911).

Here is all the news you may have missed from Tuesday, all wrapped up in one neat little package.
Cody Kessler will reportedly start at quarterback for the Trojans when they host Washington State on Saturday. Both Kessler and Max Wittek saw time against Hawaii in week one, but neither of them looked particularly great. Kessler went 10 of 19 for 95 yards, a touchdown and an interception while Wittek went 5-10 for 77 yards. That's not going to cut it, and there needs to be marked improvement at the position if USC wants to be a real contender in the Pac-12 South.
Wide receiver Kenny Bell retired from football on Tuesday. For a little while, anyway. Bell was reportedly frustrated over playing time, but Nick Saban said that Bell is welcome back to the team after basically taking a personal day. Bell caught 17 passes for 431 yards and three scores last year, but didn't catch a pass in the Tide's season opening win over Virginia Tech.
The Bruins unveiled a new set of black uniforms, which will be worn on Nov. 15 against Washington. A school with uniforms as beautiful as UCLA wearing black alternates doesn't make a ton of sense to me, but boy those uniforms sure are black!
The Tigers got their season off to a great start by beating Georgia on Saturday, and the offense looked as good as advertised. They reeled off 76 plays against the Georgia defense, which is normally a pretty high number ... but offensive coordinator Chad Morris doesn't seem all that impressed:
[...] "We can play faster. Tajh slowed us down a whole bunch. That was some of our biggest downfalls,'' Morris said. "He played well, he played like a veteran, like he's supposed to play. But as far as the tempo, especially in the third and fourth quarter, he was the one slowing us down because he wasn't getting his eyes to the sidelines quick enough.''
The Bears will be without starting safety Avery Sebastian for the rest of the season after he tore his ACL against Northwestern. He has a good shot at getting a medical redshirt waiver for this season, but that doesn't do much to help Cal's already-thin depth at safety for this year.
Targeting ejections
Six players were tossed from games over the weekend due to the new targeting rule, and after review, four of them were upheld and two were overturned. Texas A&M defensive back Deshazor Everett was among those that did not have their ejections overturned, and probably has the best case that he was hard done by the officials. The validity of his gripe is obviously up for debate, but see for yourself:
The AP and USA Today released their first polls of the season that are actually based on this year's games. Polls this early in the season are still silly, but this week was good for Clemson and bad for Oregon State and Boise State. Predictably, I suppose.

Celtics Insider
End of 1st quarter: Celtics , Raptors
After missing one game with a sprained right ankle, Rajon Rondo looks none the worse for wear here. Playing the day's first 9:41, he has four points and seven -- yes, seven -- assists.
But the big Celt lead was on more than just the point guard. These guys simply weren't missing. The C's hit a scorching 73.7 percent from the floor in the period, making 14 of 19 attempts.
Paul Pierce led with eight points, despite shooting a cold (compared to the rest of his teammates) 3 for 6.
Toronto, meanwhile, was held to 33.3 percent shooting.

Saunter and Weep
Weep O' weep,
no sleep to keep,
for fear of tears,
brings worthless years.
Let it flow, let it go,
tear stains upon the snow.
With sad December wandering,
melancholia and sauntering.
Cacophonies of memories,
symphonies of bellowing.
Head banging and gut ripping,
self ashamed and blaming.
Rocking back and forth,
Forth and back,
Back to north,
And forth to black.
Rosy kisses of bliss,
That slip the slit
of wrists for gifts,
With the mists of bliss.

ECI Telecom and Comlink Announce Real-Time Live One Terabit Trial
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ECI Telecom's presence in the North American market expands even farther with this 1 Terabit live trial from Chicago to Grand Rapids based on ECI's Apollo Packet Optical Transport Solution.
Petach Tikvah, Israel and Lansing, MI - ECI Telecom North America, a global provider of next-generation network solutions and COMLINK, Michigan-based cloud, network, and voice services provider announced today their plans for a live 1 Terabit trial.
COMLINK is a leading provider of cloud services, dedicated and virtual private servers, storage, and co-location all connected over a private, protected Ethernet backbone with bandwidths over 100Gbps. Using a private fiber network and multiple certified data centers, COMLINK provides enterprises and business customers with a full line of reliable and secure Data, Internet and voice services including a true disaster recovery and business continuity plan.
ECI Telecom's NPT and Apollo packet-optical transport systems were recently selected to support COMLINK's extensive network expansion initiatives, driven by the aggressive demand for growth in the area of business services, including a new data center and a national private medical network designed specifically for the health care industry.
ECI Telecom's growing presence in the North American market expands even farther with this 1 Terabit live trial from COMLINK's Chicago-based Sermac POP to its Grand Rapids Data Center. Although to date, most Terabit trials are done in a well-structured lab-based environment, the COMLINK trial will be a real-time live trial on their public networking structure. After the trial, the core Apollo infrastructure being used for the demo may remain in place, providing COMLINK's customers high-speed bandwidth services over the link.
Recently ECI Telecom, based on the Tera Santa Consortium technology, and its consortium partners, successfully demonstrated 1Tb/s transceiver transmission over a live optical network. The consortium demonstrated transport of a non-regenerated 1Tb/s coherent super channel signal through the German Research Network - Deutsches Forschungsnetz e.V. (DFN-Verein) optical network. Finisar Corporation, a world leader in flexible optical technology and the Technion Israel Institute of Technology, members of the Tera Santa consortium, will join forces with ECI to realize the 1Tb/s trial over Comlink's network. This trial will demonstrate flexible grid optical capabilities of the Comlink network, deployed by ECI, to include delivery of 200GHz super channel signals over Finisar's Flexgrid(TM) Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) devices.
The trial is based on Finisar's 1 terabit optical technology, with the Technion's OFDM digital processing algorithms, and ECI's system/network level technology. The 1Tb/s signal will be transmitted over ECI's Apollo Optical network while the WSS devices are set in gridless mode.
"This trial demonstrates COMLINK's investment in future proof, high bandwidth, technologies that allow us to meet our customers' needs for the expansion and growth of their networks. High-Bandwidth applications like cloud computing, video and other large data demands on the current network structure will necessitate these speeds in the near future," says COMLINK President and COO John Summerset. "The Apollo 100G infrastructure left in place after the trial will provide our customers with increased capacity and access to high speed broadband as their needs continue to grow." "ECI is excited to bring the successful optical solutions we have implemented overseas to the North American market," states Tony Gomez, Head of the North American Business Unit at ECI Telecom. "For over 60 years, Tier 1 carriers and carrier of carriers have come to rely on ECI as their Partner for Network Growth. Now that these networks have grown, companies like COMLINK are turning to ECI's Optical and SDN solutions to meet the extra challenges of increased bandwidth, higher speeds and virtualized networks." ECI Telecom will be participating at the SDN & OpenFlow World Congress in October 2014 in Germany. ECI's Head of Solutions Marketing, Yoav Valadarsky, will be speaking under the session of Network & Transport - SDN, Infrastructure, Optical, Ethernet about SDN and how to use it for better network utilization & multi-layer optimization.

An Evolving Issue

Oh, you're in the private scetor. You far from me? Wouldn't you say that right now the vast majority of their habitat is sparsely developed? Any idea what the level of losses are to vehicles? You and I are part of a few that know the glory of the southwestern deserts in spring. I need to quit being so damn lazy with uploading and caching my images so I can share them on reddit. A lot of my pics are negative, though, like pics of transient campsites and illegal dump areas, but if I see fields of flowers or some interesting wildlife, I take a snapshot.

Lambert cuts short holiday to begin pre-season training
Rickie Lambert has cut short his holiday to begin pre-season training.
The striker reported to Melwood one week earlier than he was required to, following his trip to Brazil as part of England's World Cup squad.
Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com at the club's training complex, he said:
– Rickie Lambert, talking to Liverpoolfc.co.uk
"Probably for the first time in my career I've been looking forward to pre-season - and it's not bad for a 32-year-old to be saying that!
"I was itching to get back, be with the lads and play football. It's good. It's my second day and I'm enjoying it. It's hard, but I'm feeling good.
"This [early start] is what I have to do now; it's no longer a choice for me, really. I know my body and know what I've got to do, to get into the same shape as everybody else and it tends to be that I need to do a little bit more."

Breakout Lyrics - Miley Cyrus
Every weeks the same
Stuck in school's so lame
My parents say that I'm lazy
Getting up at 8 AM's crazy
Tired of being told what to do
So unfair
So uncool
The day's too long
And I'm holding on
'til I hear the bell ring
'cause that's time when we're gonna
(Time when we're gonna)
Let the party start
We're gonna stay out
sponsored linksGonna break some hearts
We're gonna dance till the dance floor falls apart
Uh oh, all over again.
We're gonna wake up everyone we know
We're gonna have some fun, gonna lose control
Feels so good, to let go-oh-oh.
Hangin' out's just somethin' we like to do
My friends and the mess we get into
These are the lessons that we choose
Not a book full of things we'll never use
I wish it would never end,
Spending time with my friends.
Oh with my friends!
[Chorus x2]

Freshman rower comes to WSU Crew with unique experience
Jul 13, 2009 4:07 PM | Print
Incoming freshman Sydney Fish began her rowing career in 2007, and she will continue rowing at Wichita State University for WSU Crew.
Her first experience in competitive water sport was at 6 years old as a swimmer. Fish spent her summers at Twin Rivers swim club and swam for Wichita East High School for four years.
"I've never been a particularly great swimmer or a team star," she said, "but if my boat sank a couple miles away from a remote island shore, I'd survive."
Fish responded to a recruiting call from the Wichita Rowing Association when she was 16.
"Usually, you have to do a lot of training on land before you can get in a boat on the water," she said, "but the very first day I showed up, I got plopped in a boat and started rowing."
She said she picked up the sport in a couple of weeks and competed in her first regatta that fall.
Fish is the captain of the juniors' team and a member of the board, representing junior rowers, at the Wichita Rowing Association.
Her success traveled to WSU where she competed in the Shocker Sprints, an indoor regatta raced individually on rowing machines. She won both races in the junior women's division.
"But that race is really intense so I pretty much felt like a blob of jelly after it," she said.
Fish said the WSU Crew brought her on because she had past rowing experience, which is rare in Wichita.
"They realize that I'm going to hit the ground running, and I'll put in a lot of focus and effort and push myself," she said.
Fish will join the novice team when she begins college in the fall, but she does not know where she'll be placed in the boat.
"I'm an experienced rower on both starboard and port, not to mention stroke and bow and any seat in between," she said. "I can be useful wherever I'm put."
Fish will major in geology at WSU.
"I've always been an enthusiastic student of science, especially chemistry, and the earth sciences particularly interest me," she said.
But she also said she may not have chosen geology if it had not been for family members working as geologists.
"They really got me interested in it," she said.
Fish applied to both Kansas State University and the University of Kansas and was offered small rowing scholarships, but she said WSU was a better fit.
"I'm really excited about coming to WSU," she said. "It'll be a lot more compatible to my learning style, and I'm just ready to make the change."
Fish said she's an explorer and, as she did with rowing, she's always willing to try something new.
