Forms are structures that contain data in Zoho Creator. The form data is stored in a relational database and Deluge provides an easy wrapper called collection variable for accessing these data. The collection variables hold one or more records fetched from a form, based on a given criteria, sort by and range. To access the currently submitted/persisted field values, you can use the Deluge variable named input with syntax input.<fieldname>
<collection variable> = formname[<criteria>] sort by <field> range from <x> to <y>;
collection variable - name of the variable that contains the fetched records from the form.
formname - name of the form whose data has to be fetched.
criteria expression - the criteria expression that evaluates to a value
sort by <field> - the field based on which the records will be sorted in ascending order . By default, the records will be sorted in ascending order. Specifying the sort by <field> is optional.
sort by <field> desc - the field based on which the records will be sorted in descending order.
range from <x> to <y> - range enables you to limit the records fetched within the start index (x) and end index (y). If range is not specified, all the records in the form that satisfy the given criteria, will be fetched.
In the following example, the on add -> on success script is written to fetch specific records from the Book form with Name same as the currently submitted book name in the "Issue Book" form. The record fetched is stored in the collection variable named myBook. You can now access any field in this record, from the myBook collection variable.
on success
if (count(Book [ID == input.book]) > 0)
//fetch the book row from the 'Book' form
myBook = Book [ID == input.book];
//modify the 'Status' of this book to 'Issued'.
myBook.Status = "Issued";

Lots of post-game stuff to digest in your lunch hour and a few other things looking forward to tonight's big US Olympic Qualifying showdown against El Salvador.
EJ Holland writes that Ugo Ihemelu was disappointed by the loss in a game where he feels Dallas deserved a point.
"It was a disappointing game for us, but we fought," defender Ugo Ihemelu said after the match. "We gave up two big goals. It was just very disappointing. It's one of those games where we feel like we should have at least came out of there with one point."
In the Kansas City Star, Kei Kamara said his game winning goal was like a movie and he couldn't believe it.
"I knew if he hit it that it wasn't going to go far, so that was in my mind," Kamara said. "The whole thing was like a movie. I can't believe it actually happened, but it felt great. It felt so great that I couldn't even celebrate it. All I could do was stand there and let my guys tackle me."
Game highlights after the jump as well as a look around the league and some stuff to set you up for tonight's game
The Bootroom Blog has an in-depth look at Kei Kamara's game winner
In the end, this is a gem of a goal from Sporting Kansas City. The awareness, vision and work ethic the players display in making it happen puts it up as my early candidate for Team Goal of the Year. Further, it caps off a great performance that deserved a win. Finally, this goal shows what Kansas City brings to Major League Soccer this year — entertainment value.
Steve Davis drills down on Sunday evening's game, picking out Blas Perez as an effective player for Dallas.
Although he didn't get any decent chances on goal, Blas Perez continues to show why he was one of the most under-appreciated acquisitions of the winter. Everybody knew he'd physically be a handful for MLS defenses, but today, the challenges he posed Besler and Collin resulted from his movement and passing. In the first half, he went wide (to the right of Collin), chased down a diagonal ball, and made two more small plays in the sequence to create a chance for Bryan Leyva. In the second half, his backheel flick wide to Jair Benitez put the Colombian behind a high KC line, the defender-cum-midfielder's resulting ball through the six nearly giving Jacobson a go-ahead goal.
Kyle McCarthy's Monday MLS Breakdown is always a must read
"For me, we've started the first two games with pretty average first halves," Portland coach John Spencer said. "We played 90 minutes of decent football – the second half against Dallas and the second half against Philly – and took four points. You can't go a goal down every week and expect to win games."
Drew Epperley's "What We Learned" recap for SB Nation will also get you caught up on the weekend quite nicely.
RSL held a massive edge in possession, shots and well just everything. It just wasn't meant to be on the night.
Does this make RSL a weaker team? Absolutely not, it was one game of 34 and only their fifth regular season loss at Rio Tinto Stadium. Games like this happen but can be good for a team like RSL. Getting a tough loss out of the way early can pave a way for a long spell of success.
Looking towards tonight's game, read Brek Shea's newest blog for Goal.com
In Caleb and Jurgen Klinsmann, I've been fortunate to have two great coaches and have learned so much from both of them. I would venture to say their styles are different but both have had such a great impact on my game but at the same time both are very different in their own ways
Caleb Porter has no doubt the United States will move to the semifinals and win tonight.
"Mostly we just have to have a good performance ourselves," Porter said. "We're confident in our team. Players are confident we can get the job done. There is no doubt in my mind that we are going to get the result."

Dame Joan Sutherland One More Time
The memorial service for Dame Joan Sutherland (died October 13, 2010) was held this morning at London's Westminster Abbey. Prince Charles attended. Did the Queen have a dentist appointment or something?
Writer Norman Lebrecht posted a wonderful account of the service on his blog Slipped Disc.
First, take a look at this clip of the dress rehearsal for the revival of Vincenzo Bellini's I Puritani at the Metropolitan Opera.
If Luciano Pavarotti was in the cast, it must have been November 7, 1976 – Dame Joan's 50th birthday. Not only does she get quite the happy surprise, you hear her in full, glorious voice telling us she's a happy virgin ("Son vergin vezzosa").
This might not be a happy condition for a 50 year old, but Elvira in I Puritani is meant to be fifteen-ish. Listen, if you're sixty or eighty and can sing like this, who cares? It's opera, after all.
Now, after a private funeral in Switzerland, a big memorial at the Syndey Opera House and Prince Charles at the Abbey, we can all get on with it, leave Dame Joan alone and continue to enjoy her recordings, films and broadcasts.

Phil the trolley set to return home
10:03am Wednesday 8th May 2013 in News By Hannah White
A SHOPPING trolley that has been pushed around 50 towns and cities around the UK to raise money for charity is set to return to Salisbury on Friday.
Phil the Trolley left Salisbury on April 8 to raise funds for and awareness of the Trussell Trust's work to stop food poverty.
Throughout the five-week tour, Phil has been pushed by many different people including schoolchildren, former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, Alex Salmond and the captain of Millwall FC, Paul Robinson.
Salisbury MP John Glen is lending his support to the campaign and is set to welcome the trolley when it arrives back in Salisbury.
Chris Mould, from the Trussell Trust, said: "The trolley push is a timely reminder to politicians and the public that people right across the UK are in crisis.
"The support we have had from every local community during the course of the last five weeks has been inspiring. The public understanding of the problem of hunger in the UK is growing all the time.
"There's still time to donate to the campaign, which will help with the rise in the number of people needing emergency food."

When a player causes a stir at the NFL Combine simply by weighing in you know you have a rare specimen indeed:
The defensive tackle was listed at 6-foot-5 and 322 pounds, with 9 1/8-inch hands and 35-inch arms — contributing to his 83 7/8-inch wingspan. Despite only one full season as a starter at LSU (with 47 total tackles and two sacks in 2011 as a redshirt sophomore), Brockers' measurable caused a stir and could lift his draft stock at the NFL Scouting Combine.
I have no idea if this helps Brockers in the Panthers eyes but given we already know he is coming in for private workout in March we now have no question as to why. 35 inch arms! 84 inch wingspan? 322 with the build to add a little more weight? I'd have a hard time being upset if he is the Panthers choice at #9. Then a CB in the 2nd and a LB in the 4th please!
On a different note Brockers hand size gives perspective to WR Alshon Jeffery's hand size which was measured a full inch & 1/8th larger than the 100 lb heavier Brockers. Jeffery has catcher mitts for hands essentially. Let's hope he runs a 4.6 and slides to us at #40! Wait, I want a CB at #40...hmmm. Glad I'm not Hurney!

Bumped. GO BRUINS. - N
"The truth always comes out"
Those are Pete Carroll's own words, when (wrongfully) accusing UCLA staff of spreading misinformation of Ken Norton Jr. taking over as defensive coordinator for DeWayne Walker to elite recruits. The timing of this accusation was curious, as it came fresh off the heals of the de-committal of top-recruit Morrell Pressley from Southern Cal to the Bruins.
Now Pete Carroll is losing Mark Sanchez to the NFL draft, and once again, those words shed some light on the big picture.
"The truth always comes out"
Pete Carroll has enjoyed quite a bit of success at Southern California for nearly a decade now. Much of that success is borne from the ability to lure elite recruits to the program on a yearly basis, stacking nearly all positions 2 or 3 players deep of 5 star talent.
Mark Sanchez was a 5 star recruit, widely considered the best QB in the country, with enough talent to probably start as a freshman or sophomore at most programs. Pete Carroll somehow lured in Sanchez the very same year he convinced Heisman-trophy winner Matt Leinart to bypass the NFL for another year of ballroom dancing and Reggie Bush pushing, all the while having another 5 star QB recruit John David Booty waiting in the wings as a redshirt freshman.
Well you know the story. Leinart lost to Vince Young, then slipped in the draft, lost millions, and is riding the pine in Arizona. John David Booty took over, played fairly well for two years, now is riding the pine in Minnesota (I think). Mark Sanchez rode the pine for 3 years at Southern Cal, patiently waiting his turn, then finally got his chance and had a fairly good year his fourth year.
Pete Carroll somehow keeps his gravy train going by convincing recruits that it's not necessarily playing time that makes players better, it's the competition in practice. Yet, when it's time for those players to make the decision to take their game to the NFL, all of a sudden, playing time is now paramount. "I really think he (Sanchez) needed more experience" Carroll said. You know what I call that? A TWO FACED LIAR.
So which is it, Pete? What makes a player better: playing time, or the competition in practice? Or is it simply: whatever is good for Pete Carroll and Southern Cal?
Mark Sanchez got his degree (don't laugh), did his time on the pine for three years (getting better with competition at practice), had a nice fourth year and is projected to be the 2nd QB taken in the draft. He decided to take his opportunity now. There are no guarantees in sports. He made his decision. And for that, Pete Carroll publicly embarrasses him by acting like a selfish, jilted lover and giving him the cold shoulder at his press conference. Nice way to send the guy off, Pete!
Mark Sanchez in now discovering what it means to be in the "Trojan Family". That is, you are part of the "family" as long as you do what is best for the "family" first. Sounds more like a DICTATORSHIP to me!
"The truth always comes out"
UPDATE (N): Arash Markazi, a writer on SI.com who just happens to be a Trojan alum eviscerates Pom Pom for embarrassing himself:
It was a sad display for the usually gregarious Carroll, who spoke of Sanchez as a statistic rather than a person and a player he's known for five years. If that's what Carroll has to say about Sanchez in front of the cameras, I'd hate to hear what he's going to say about him behind closed doors when NFL scouts and general managers start calling him.
Again note to all the recruits. According to a Trojan alum himself you guys are nothing but a "statistic" to disgraceful Pom Pom Petey. GO BRUINS. - N

The NBA Lottery takes place at 7:00 p.m. Central on Tuesday, May 17th at the NBA Entertainment studios in Secaucus, New Jersey. The Wolves have the best chance at getting the top slot, but the odds of them getting it are just 25%. The team has never moved up in the lottery, despite what seems like an annual appearance at the event.
What pick do you think the Wolves will get?
Update: No discussion of the NBA Lottery would be complete without including a direct link to ESPN's Lotto/Mock Draft thingy. Keep clicking until the Wolves get the first pick!
p.s.--Once again the Timberwolves have a "Pay the Pick" promotion going, where you can purchase an upper-level season ticket based on the lottery slot in which the Timberwolves land. For example, if the Wolves get the 2nd pick, your ticket is $2 per game. It's a really good deal, but you have to commit to a $43 dollar non-refundable deposit (per ticket) before the lottery occurs.

Bennington County, Vermont - March 18, 2009
Its been more than two years since 12-year-old Jaliek Rainwalker disappeared, and his family has not given up hope that he will be found. His grandmother, Barbara Reeley, spent Thursday posting age-enhanced photos of Rainwalker in Bennington.
The boy vanished in Greenwich, N.Y., in November 2007. The search has crossed the state line into Vermont because Rainwalker's adoptive family often went camping there.
"Can't give up hope. There are times when I get down, but I realize that doesn't help in the search for him," Reeley said while hanging missing posters. "I have to keep searching, looking, and letting people know he's still missing."
Reeley plans to lead a search of the Merck Forest in Rupert this year to look for evidence or human remains.
Jaliek Rainwalker's adoptive father Stephen Kerr has been named as a person of interest in the case. Since the disappearance, he has moved from New York to West Rupert, Vt.

For the Yankees, however, it was an all-too-familiar look on the scoreboard. They were shut out by Josh Beckett in the deciding Game 6 of last year's World Series.
There's a current Twins connection to Morris beyond the fact that he fills in on some radio broadcasts during the regular season. Morris went on to another World Series in 1993 with Toronto. The Blue Jays' catcher was Pat Borders, who has resurfaced as the Twins' backup catcher. And you thought Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon was a fun game.
Vitals check
A look at key statistics through Game 1 of the ALDS.
Team stats
Behind the numbers
Minnesota's playoff record five double plays was partly a tribute to Santana's induced ground balls. That goes against trend; his 0.93 ratio of groundouts to flyouts ranked 31st in the AL and trailed teammates Carlos Silva and Kyle Lohse.
Frozen moment
Waiting to see if Jacque Jones' opposite-field shot was going to clear the left field fence. When it reached the left-field seats, it gave Minnesota a two-run lead -- not much, but enough that Santana could allow a baserunner and not feel suffocated.
Slick move
Inserting Luis Rivas as a defensive replacement at second base. He couldn't start because of bone chips in his elbow, but he made his presence felt almost instantly by helped turn an eighth-inning double play with the potential tying run at the plate.
Modern history
The Twins set a playoff record by turning five double plays. Twelve other teams turned four double plays in a game; eight of those teams won their games.
Last word
"Tonight, we showed how to play the game." -- Santana

INDIANAPOLIS — Legislation that would free high-performing schools from some state regulations is stalled in the House, as lawmakers work out details of how much flexibility to give those schools.
One of the sticking points that has kept Senate Bill 189 from coming up for a committee vote in the House is disagreement over the bill's provision that would allow those high-performing schools to shorten their school year.
The bill's author, Republican Sen. Mike Delph of Carmel, wants to free top-achieving schools from the state's current 180-day school year requirement and give them some additional flexibility in teacher evaluations and curriculum.
But one of the bill's sponsors in the House said there are some reservations about letting schools shorten their school year when other options — including shortening the school day — may be a better option.
"There is a general consensus that we need to create more flexibility for high-performing schools," said Rep. Todd Huston, a freshman Republican legislator from Fishers. "The question is how do we do that in a way that benefits the kids?"
Senate Bill 189 passed out of the Senate in mid-February on a vote of 44-5, but has yet to have a committee vote in the House. Testimony has been heard on the bill by the House education committee but a vote on it has been postponed several times.
It's now expected to come up again in front of the House education committee. Huston said it will likely be amended but declined to say what amendments he'll offer or support.
Delph wasn't available for comment.
The bill is designed to give high-performing school districts what Delph calls "regulatory relief" from certain state education rules. If passed, it would allow those school districts that meet certain standards to develop some of their own curriculum, design their own teacher evaluations, and create their own plan for career and technical training.

Baiting time is here!!!!!!
Picked up the oats today; just have to mix in the old fryer oil, sugar and liquid smoke. I'm going to go up for a look next week, although I here there is still a lot of snow in the bush. The old Argo on tracks will be alright, though. Got my meat scraps and the secret ingredient all lined up; might even put the barrels out next week, if I have time. Can't wait to lower the boom on Mr. bear with the Rezen!!! Good luck and good hunting to all who are going bear hunting this spring.:)
I still have to make a trip out to the father in laws to get some oats but now my besnard lake bear trip is back on so may 9th we'll head up there and put out the baits.I can't wait.
are you mixing your oats,oil, sugar and liquid smoke all together in a barrel?Is there big jugs of liquid smoke?I can only find the little bottles in llyod at nutters.
We can get it in gallons, 5 gallons etc. but I don't think you want to pay shipping from here to there. Try a restaurant supply or even your local diner may be able to order it for you. It shoul be WAY cheaper than the little bottles.Good luck with the baits.
Ya let me know what they cost I might be looking for a jug or 2.I like to mix the liquid smoke with fish guts.
big bear scents
Sorry it took so long to respond. We have been extremely busy unloading and selling bear bait lately (about 13,000#) this weekend alone plus still running the studio full time & getting ready for Quebec. You can't shoot enough. Yes Big Bear Scents are strong best I've found to date & Dave is easy to work with.
Are you a guide if so where.
I have 5 baits set and 2 more to go out. I hunt in a party of 4 guys but we like to have a few extra sites in case the bears are a little slow on some sites. We're using oats, corn, grease, pigskins and stink baits. I couldn't get any beaver again but we have pails of rotten chicken and fish that seem to work. Another trip is planned soon to set up the last 2 sites and to double up on the grease at the existing sites
Heading out on another bait run tomorrow. If things work out, I'll start hunting them next week. Once I get through with my last day shift on the 12th, I've got 12 days of bear hunting going on.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII is NOT dead!
07/28/2012 | Games | 3 Comments|
Believe it or not, but it has been SIX years since Square-Enix first showed the Final Fantasy Versus XIII trailer. It was received very well because it looks so damn awesome. But, that was a very long time ago and a few weeks back, a rumor surfaced that Square is going to let FF Versus XIII die and fade into nothing.
BUT! It seems that is not the case (for now). As posted in Kotaku, Square Enix head Yoichi Wada tweeted that he just came out from a Final Fantasy Versus XIII meeting.
According to his tweet: "There's someone making a false rumor that Versus was cancelled. Haha…Just a minute ago, the regular Versus meeting ended. If you saw the presentation of the city, it'd knock you off your feet~lol".
I hope it is not a troll.

April 7, 2007
Albany - - The Easter holiday is just hours away. Some South Georgia children are making sure they have all their eggs lined up before the Easter bunny arrived.
The annual Great Egg Hunt brought tons of families out to Chehaw park Saturday. Children hurried across an open field to collect as many eggs as possible. After they lined up their eggs, they exchanged them for candy.
The kids say they take this very seriously.
"You can get one egg over there and you can get a whole bunch of candy. There was a whole bunch of people out there. I ran out there and dived on my knees, crawling over, getting eggs. A lot of kids out there try to tackle you and everything," says Tyler Sheffel.
The event was well attended, as many families waited in line off of Philema road, just to get into the park.

For those of you still playing in Fantasy Football, this would be your Super Bowl week. My Super Bowl week is two weeks long... I hate this league. Anyway, there are a lot of key acquisitions to be made this week if you need to bolster your roster.
First, Toby Gerhart. With Adrian Peterson out for Week 17 with multiple knee injuries, the best backup RB in the NFL (with the exception of Ben Tate) is primed for a big week. The Bears play great defense, but now that they are officially out of the playoffs, I see them playing softer. They have nothing to play for. Meanwhile, The Vikings are trying to avoid matching the worst single season record in Vikings history and they will *likely* be playing a lot more with Joe Webb, who has inspired The Vikings offense like no other this year in his limited game time action. More on Webb later.
Next, Graham Gano, kicker for the Washington Redskins. This man has been on fire lately, and he is going up against a revitalized Philly defense that crushed The Cowboys into submission. I expect Grossman to connect on some deep passes to get them into field goal territory, but not being able to finish the drive for 6. This is probably going to be a big game for Gano, I estimate at least 3 field goals from The Skins.
Speaking of Philly, their defense is on my league's waiver wire for some reason. If they are there for you, snap them up. I expect plenty of picks of errant Grossman passes coupled with the ever present possibility of D-Jax returning kickoffs for a score should it be a close game.
If Philly isn't there, and you need another defense to play this week, I would suggest Miami or Seattle. They are both risks in that Seattle just got eliminated from playoff contention, but they are playing a division rival and may look to end the season on a high note for Pete Carroll. Their defense has been suffocating 3 out of the last 4 weeks, so it's not too much of a stretch to expect them to shut down Skelton and Wells. Miami is a risk for a different reason. The Jets give up the 3rd most points to defenses, but we are all well aware of Miami's late season collapses. This year seemed to be a different case, but the 2nd half of The Patriots game sounded some alarms in the back of my head of our defense potentially laying down. If you think The Miami Defense will come out and play hard for Bowles, then you pick them up, but without Long there's a good chance they get put in some bad situations by the offense. So, if you need a defense, my claims would go in this order: Philly, Seattle, Miami.
Finally, if you have a two QB league, or you have been leaning on Matt Moore/Carson Palmer in the later half of the season, Joe Webb is somebody you should monitor this week. With Ponder suffering a concussion, The Vikings may decide to finally give Webb the nod (I don't understand why they didn't let him start Week 1), and you can expect pretty outstanding numbers from a FA. He's a mini-Newton and he just might blow up against The Bears.
Sidenote: If you want to play mind games with your opponent, drop Brandon Marshall (so long as you have a decent replacement. Hartline will honestly probably get more points than him this week) since he is up against Revis this week who has held both Nicks and D-Jax to a combined 5 points in the last two weeks. The only way Marshall gets points is by getting a TD pass in the red zone, but it's too much of a risk IMO. If you like to gamble, drop him and see if your opponent picks him up to start. That will hurt his team while benefitting yours. No guts, no glory!
Thanks for reading and if you guys have any questions about other positions of need, don't hesitate to ask!
Edit: Now that Anthony Fasano has returned to practice after suffering a concussion in Week 15, he will be a valuable pick up if you don't have an elite TE. With Marshall expected to pull Revis, Matt Moore is going to need a big end zone target. That will be either Charles Clay or Fasano and, given Fasano's track record this season with Matt Moore, you can reliably assume that Fasano will get a couple Red Zone targets this week.

Roman Lipi Parishad.
Roman Lipi Parishad (RLP), based in Bombay, aims to encourage the adoption of Roman script (lipi) as a common alphabet for the many languages of India. RLP chairman, Madhukar N Gogate (see below), keeps us informed of progress: we first published a report in the Simplified Spelling Society Newsletter of J2 Spring 1986, again in J3 Summer 1986, and in our Journal J6 1987/3; Journal J7 1988/1 included an Indian view of English spelling reform. We here first present extracts from the proceedings of RLP's third conference, held in December 1988, which explain some of the thinking behind the Roman lipi proposed, and follow this with most of the text of an RLP leaflet, which states the proposals in some detail.
From the Proceedings of the Third Roman Lipi Sammelan.The Chairman's remarks included the following:
... Average man ... does not bother with subtle phonetic differences. We have given outline sound-symbol relations. Let every language modify them, if they wish. After all, we have no enforcing power. We do not recommend use of diacritical marks (bars, dots above/below letters) since they are not available on all machines, and so we have adopted colon symbol, to distinguish a few sounds. We prefer small letters, reserving capital at beginning of a name...
Cinema people should be persuaded, but generally they consult astrologers for 'lucky' number of letters in titles, and accordingly they use spellings GITA, GITAA, GEETAA and so on. A script has no religion. Hindu scriptures are propagated abroad in English (Roman script). Marathi Christians in Vasai (north of Bombay) use Devanagari for Bible, and Bangladesh Muslims use Bengali script for their prayers. Please do not confuse Roman script as a part of Christian religion ... Please note that the existing scripts are not to be discarded. They are helpful to transmit knowledge. Roman script would be only an alternative. If this is made clear, 90% resistance melts down. Roman letter sequence can be altered bringing lip consonants together, for instance <p, ph, b, bh, m), but we prefer popular sequence <abcd ... xyz> for phone books, dictionaries, etc...
Hindi/Marathi use common Devanagari script for differing words, but we manage. Similarly we have to manage using cement in English, siment in Hindi and so on...
... Fixing sound-symbol relations is only 1% of the job, 99% is how to popularize Roman lipi, how to produce writers and readers for that script. Do not spend time further on sound-symbol relations. No scheme would satisfy everyone. Scientists have chosen C for carbon, Ca for calcium. Why not Ca for carbon and C for calcium? One does not argue about it One accepts standard symbols, closing debate.
Why Roman Lipi?1. India is a multi-language, multi-script vast country. Various scripts are in use for a long time at different levels. They are vehicles of knowledge and literature. They must be used and studied. But Roman lipi (script) should be encouraged as an optional script. Roman lipi consists of 26 letter <abcd ... xyz>. It would benefit us in a number of ways.
2. Main industries in India have accepted English as business language. "Send this share certificate in Bengali script to a Bengali investor. Send this scooter with Tamil label to a Tamil customer" - such problems are not wanted by industries. So all correspondence, invoices, share certificates, dividend warrants, engineering drawings, legal contracts, audited accounts etc are in English. Most office equipments such as typewriters, teleprinters, computers serve English language and print Roman script. Industrial goods such as soaps, toothpastes, radio sets, fans, even village bricks display Roman alphabets. People are familiar with them.
3. Only 3% Indians know English, but since the literacy level is 36%, it means that 8% literates know English. They are spread throughout the country. Their number is fast growing, as English is taught as a second language in all high schools. English newspapers account for 20% total newspaper circulation. Professional bodies of doctors, engineers etc insist on English medium for higher education, to keep abreast with latest knowledge and to exchange views at seminars.
4. Though we use English our hearts are with mothertongues. We can understand and express thoughts much better in our languages than in English. For an average Indian, it is difficult to acquire mastery in English. Our mothertongues should prosper, so that knowledge is transmitted to all strata of society. Newspapers and books are printed in our scripts, but as regards office equipment, people look to economy. It costs money, afterall, to buy and maintain 2 typewriters for 2 scripts or a multi-script expensive electronic machine. General trend is to buy machines only for English, and use a mere pen to write our languages. This lowers prestige of our languages. Today it is electronic machines, tomorrow it may be some other machines. If we accept Roman lipi, our languages will be immediately linked to the world's latest machines.
5. All English printing machines in India are made by our efforts. Foreigners are not imposing Roman script on us. So we should not mind using these machines for development of our languages. Roman script can be adjusted to indicate various vowels and consonants.
6. Each script has separate numeral symbols. But we have accepted global numerals 0123456789 for phone dials, calculators etc. All of us have benefitted thereby. Tamil and Malayalam languages have accepted global numerals for all books and newspapers. Devanagari numeral one looks like global numeral nine, causing confusion. So Marathi textbooks and science magazines have accepted global numerals.
7. Indian scripts are multi-tier with symbols attached to each other at different levels. Word murti ('idol') is written in Devanagari equivalent to muitr,with <u> below <in> and <r> above <t>.
8. Love for our scripts is understandable. But an overloyalty is dangerous to unity and progress. Demands are being whipped up (and already partly fulfilled) to print phone books and vehicle number plates in local scripts. When this change is completed, the police would be unable to identify vehicles coming from other states. Obviously, crime will thrive. A doctor cannot be called if a phone book is unreadable. Recognition to Roman lipi will curb this harmful fragmentation. In cities some signboards are in English and local language. But mostly everywhere they are in local script baffling unfamiliar visitors. It is desirable to replaint them in local language, both in current script and Roman lipi. Today Hindi-Tamil, Marathi-Kannada etc dictionaries are very difficult to make or use. A Marathi person does not know symbols or their dictionary sequence in Kannada script, and vice versa. They do not read each other's literature, though hundreds of words are common. They do not come closer by minds, though they are geographical neighbours. Hindi is a fine language, but it could not be cultivated as our national language. Watching a Hindi film is good entertainment but using Hindi as official language is a serious business. It requires extensive machine support, dictionary support at all levels. Until Hindi takes Roman lipi, its literature writers may be only Varma and Sharma, but no Barua, Banerjee, Reddy, Aiyar or Patel. Roman alphabets, by themselves, are mere diagrams. But their acceptance would signify the birth of machine-consciousness and mutual considerateness, vitally necessary for progress.
Popularization.9. During last 2 years, RLP had concentrated on Marathi language, and arranged several talks, articles in newspapers, discussions at annual literary conference, and so on. Bombay Doordarshan took note of our campaign, and invited RLP for a half hour program. It was telecast on Maharashtra-Goa network in April 1988. Several editors, authors, scientists, thinkers, even common people favour Roman lipi. Of course there is opposition too, but that is natural in a democracy. In 19th century, Marathi switched over from Modi script to Devanagari. Bombay-Pune is a highly industrialized belt and that changes people's outlook towards script. People read stock-exchange quotations in a-b-c-d sequence. People see English keyboards everywhere. These factors have helped in advancing Roman lipi among Marathi people. Role of RLP is to stimulate and coordinate efforts. Later on media, universities etc. would popularize Roman lipi. Government would take interest when public opinion is aroused.
Simplified Marathi.10. RLP intends to publish a Marathi-English guide book of about 500 words, typical 100 sentences, and basic grammar rules. As a prelude to that book, we here present 5 Marathi sentences, about 25 Marathi words with English translations. Roman lipi is quite capable of writing according to standard grammar (Set A). In fact it may improve on present orthography. Madhe, garam are written unphonetically in Devanagari, equivalent to madhye, garama.
11. Several non-Marathi persons in Bombay desire a practical, quick-to-learn guidebook for Marathi, relaxing some rules of grammar. They do not seek high proficiency. A few mistakes here and there, but they would like to talk to Marathi people and understand their TV programs. They have no time to go to classes. They are repelled by complex grammar. To build bridges of goodwill and communication between various language speakers, some grammar simplification seems desirable. It is true that every language has evolved a grammar after years of usage and research. It should be followed for standardization. But for a beginner, an unknown language should be made attractive and easy. If he develops keen interest he will lateron learn standard grammar, current script and so on. On a trial basis, we present Set B with simplified grammar. Therein we have omitted the colon symbol. Postpositions are separated from main words. Hyphen (dash) is introduced before endings. This is meant for dictionary convenience. Actually there is no pause at the hyphen. Set C is word-to-word translation of Set B. Proper translation is given in Set D.
12. Marathi grammar contains gender, inflections etc. Verb aahe can be used with I, he, she. On same logic, jaail, jaain verb variety is reduced to jaail. Adjective laal ('red') is invariable. On same line, hirvaa, hirvi, hirve, hirvyaa (a variable adjective according to gender, number, case) are reduced to a common form hirve ('green'). Nouns desh ('country'), bhaashaa ('language') have common form in singular and plural. Similarly, pustak ('book') need not have a separate plural form pustake. Marathi counting 1 to 100 should be simplified like English cyclic counting. There are many other endings, as in jaa-taanaa ('while going'), which have not appeared in these examples. There are few special words, such as gele ('went') which need not be replaced by an artificial word jaa-le. It will be seen that the grammar simplification is marginal and not drastic. With the aid of dictionary, one can quickly learn a simplified language. Of course, idioms cannot be literally translated.
13. We request non-Marathi readers to comment whether they found the translation process easy enough. Please give Set A, Set B, Set C sentences in your language, in Roman lipi, to give end translation as in Set D. Underline words in your language. Give dictionary of' relevant words. Explain areas of grammar simplification, Let us compare notes. Explain special symbols if required.
Sound-symbol Relations.14. Sound-symbol relations for Roman lipi can be best explained to people with their script symbols. Here they are based on English words. Symbols are so chosen that the English printing machines can be immediately used, without any change, for our languages. The script has be-en made reasonably phonetic. But minor sound variations are ignored. Afterall, current scripts too are not perfectly phonetic. The script should be compact and easy for writing, reading and printing. A colon symbol is used to distinguish shades of sound.
15. Vowels are as follows: <a> (u in up), <aa> (a in army), <ae> (a in apple), <aw> (aw in law), <e> (egg), <i> (it), o (open), <u> (u in put). Note that <ai, au> are read as <a> followed by <i, u>, and not as in English words main, author. Long vowels are <e:> (ay in may), <i:> (ce in meet), <o:> (oa in road), <u:> (oo in cool).
16. Consonants are as follows: <b> (boy), <ch> (church), <d> (th in they), <g> (girl), <h> (he), <j> (jam), <k> (king), <l> (lamp), <m> (man), <n> (no), <p> (pin), <r> (run), <s> (sit), <sh> (she), <t> (soft t, not in English), <v> (w in woman), <y> (yes), <z> (zebra). Note that <ch, sh> contain non-phonetic <h>. But <h> is phonetically added in <bh, chh, dh, gh> etc. English uses sounds of <jh> (s in measure), <ph> (ph in phone), <th> (thin), <vh> (v in victory). For hard sounds add colon: <d:> (d in dog), <1:> (hard l), <n:> (hard n), <t:> (t in toy).
17. Minor variations may be made to suit particular languages. Thus Hindi, Gujarati require vowel nasalizer <m:> as in Hindi kyum: ('why'). Marathi does not need <e:, i:, o:, u:>. Tamil, Malayalam use peculiar sound <zh>. Urdu uses <f, q> and so on.
18. Names will be respelled as gaandhi, jawn in place of Gandhi, John. If this is not possible due to reasons of documents, retain old spelling, with first letter capital. Note that Marathi words van ('forest'), sun ('daughter in law') are read like English words won, soon.
SET A (Marathi).
mumbaipaasun dillilaa i vimaanaane jaain. pinjryaamadhe ek hirvaa popat: aahe. kaal khup paaus pad:laa. chauryaahattar nambarchaa peshant:laa dawkt:ar aushaddh detaat. tyaalaa garam kawphi aavad:te.
SET B (Simplified Grammar).
mumbai paasun dilli-laa mi vimaan-ne jaa-il. pinjraa madhe ek hirve popat aahe. kaal khup paaus pad-le. sattar chaar nambar-che peshant-laa dawktar aushadh de-to. te-laa garam kawphi aavad-to.
SET C (Word-to-word translation of Set B).
Bombay-from to-Delhi I by-plane will-go. Cage-within one green parrot is. Yesterday much rain fell. Seventy four number's to-patient doctor medicine gives. To-that hot coffee likes.
SET D (Normal English).
I shall fly from Bombay to Delhi. There is a green parrot in cage. It rained heavily yesterday. Doctor gives medicine to patient number seventy-four. He likes hot coffee.
aahe is aavad 'like' (verb), 'liking' (noun). aushadh 'medicine'. chaar 'four'. dawktar 'doctor'. de 'give'. dilli 'Delhi'. ek 'one'. garam 'hot'. hirve 'green'. jaa 'go'. kaal 'time, yesterday'. kawphi 'coffee'. khup 'much'. twdhe 'within'. mi '1'. mumbai 'Bombay'. nambar 'number'. paasun 'from'. paaus 'rain'. pad 'fall'. peshant 'patient'. pinjraa 'cage'. popat 'parrot'. sattar 'seventy'. te 'that, he, she'. vitwan 'aeroplane'.
-che (after noun): possessive sense. -il (after verb): future tense. -laa (after noun): 'to'. -le (after verb): past tense. -ne (after noun): 'by'. -to (after verb): present tense.
a) Verb is placed at end of sentence. b) Marathi uses postpositions and not prepositions. Thus mumbai paasun 'from Bombay'. c) Nouns have same form in singular, plural.

Green Day Singer Billie Joe Armstrong Out of Commission – Concert Dates Unclear
By Lance Norris – Muze Staff Writer
If you were planning on seeing Green Day anytime soon, you may have to be content to watch them on video. Singer Billie Joe Armstrong was admitted to an Italian hospital last weekend for a 'throat aliment'. Band mates Tre Cool and Mike Dirnt apologized to fans via a video message. On Monday, Armstrong returned to L.A. claiming his voice was completely gone.
No word yet on if the band has pulled out of the iHeartRadio Music Fest in Vegas on September 21st. The only other date on the band's schedule this year is the Voodoo Music Experience in New Orleans on October 27th. The band plans to release three new albums over the next few months, aptly titled "Uno", "Dos" and "Tre".

Tap Dancing Why
Today, during surgery, my ferret Tuukka died.
The doctors think he was probably a lot older and sicker than we realized.
He's been back East and I haven't seen him in a year because I moved to LA. I missed him a lot. I loved this ferret. He would lick your lips if you sung to him and he was always happy.
Bye, Tuukie.
Q:do you own a ferret or just really like them?
I have a white ferret (a lot like the one in this gif—he's the one in my last ferret related post) named Tuukka, after the Boston Bruins' goalie.
Sadly, ferrets are not legal in CA, so my ferret lives in CT with his "sister" Leelu and his adoptive parents who take extremely good care of him. He'll be moving to Seattle soon, though to hang out with people who make comics and eat all their erasers.

"We're going to focus on indoor play," owner James "Sonny" Hall said.
With scorching hot temperatures outside, children now have the option to play a wide variety of games indoors, such as air hockey, skee ball, and video games. Additionally, many of the games take tokens, and children receive tickets to redeem for prizes.
Kathy Pate brought her children to Sonny's, and is happy that the establishment is providing a fun place for children of all ages to go during the summer months.
"Jasper doesn't have anything for kids to do," Pate said.
Hall feels that Sonny's isn't just a place for children. He believes that it is a good place for couples and families to have a good time.
"I think we've got a total package," Hall said.
People can use Sonny's as the venue for their next birthday party as well, and all birthday party packages include two hours of access to the party area. Sonny's also welcomes field trips.
Hall says that the company is planning to expand and is always looking for ways to improve.
"We're going to keep working to make things as good as possible," Hall said.
Sonny's Fast Track is located on Highway 69, and welcomes kids and adults of all ages to have fun and make special memories.

Sichuan Yema are a wily bunch based in Chengdu, South West China, their automotive neighbors would include FAW, FAW-VW, Chang'an and Lifan, but that hasn't stopped them from going all gung-ho and setting up their own company in a sea of sharks. At last years Chengdu Auto Show (Yema avoids the international Beijing, Shanghai and even Guangzhou Auto Shows) the company revealed a series of cars that we had seen before, not 'seen before' as in already existing models from the company, we mean models we've seen before from other companies but wearing Yema badges.
The next in line for production at Sichuan Yema is the Toureg style vehicle. The interesting thing about Yema is that they don't actually have a license to produce cars from the central government. Every car maker must have a license, and that license tells you what you can and cant make, perhaps it says pick up trucks, light trucks, SUV's or passenger vehicles, if you're a big manufacturer it will say everything, Yema of course can only make SUV's.
So what do Yema build their SUV's off? They use the Austin Maestro platform which was developed sometime in the late 1970′s in the UK, put into production in the early 80′s and continued to be on sale until the mid 90′s before the then MG-Rover sold off the well worn tooling and moulds to a Bulgarian company that tried to make cars but failed, later everything went to ETSONG, a cigarette make in Qingdao who tried to sell Maestro's to an unconvinced Qingdao populace, FAW came in and bought the lot, made the Maestro for a few months before realizing it was terrible and turned the factory into a truck factory. FAW sold the tooling to Sichuan based company called Yema, and now you have the full story.
Yema might make some odd looking cars, but they are actually selling quite well in fourth, third, and even second tier cities around China. Their goal, according to their ex-GM, is to become the next Great Wall Motors, offering quality cars for peanuts. Perhaps this strategy will work, there is plenty of demand for small SUV's in Western China.
A Toureg costs in the region of 1 million RMB in the Chinese market thanks to its imported status, but this Yema Toureg is likely to be a more affordable 100k RMB, a major saving. The downside is that the engine size is likely a 2.0L 4 cylinder than a 3.0L V6 TFSI.

But the number that stood out the most to Niumatalolo and his Midshipmen was a zero. Navy did not incur a single penalty. As things turned out on the sport's opening weekend, only Illinois could claim the same achievement among Football Bowl Subdivision teams. Navy also had only one turnover, when Proctor was intercepted in the third quarter.
"You've got to do that for us to have a chance," Niumatalolo said after the game at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. "We can't turn the ball over; we can't beat ourselves. That's always been our MO. It's hard enough to beat other teams, much less if you're beating yourselves."
Said inside linebacker Matt Warrick: "I think for us, we have to play like a perfect game penalty-wise to give us a chance. It was huge for us to keep the momentum on our side."
That Navy didn't have any penalties for only the second time since the 2002 game against Army — the Midshipmen also did it last season in their victory over Notre Dame — was a bit surprising. It was the first game since last year's starting quarterback graduated. It was also the first start for as many as 10 players.
But given what the Midshipmen have done during their first three years under Niumatalolo, it should not be a shock. After finishing second in the country in having the fewest penalties a game and fewest penalty yards in 2008, the Midshipmen were first in both categories in 2009. A year ago, Navy finished No. 1 in the country in 2010 in fewest penalty yards per game and second in number of penalties assessed.
Navy (1-0) will be seeking similar perfection tonight at 6 when the Midshipmen play at Western Kentucky (0-1).
Niumatalolo had been on his players at practice leading up to the Delaware game because of their lack of focus and intensity, but against the Blue Hens the Midshipmen seemed to click from the moment Proctor broke off a 75-yard touchdown run on his team's second play from scrimmage.
Asked Wednesday about the fact that no penalties were committed in the opener, Niumatalolo couldn't point to a single factor.
"Some of it is luck, some of our guys played well," he said. "You try your best as a coaching staff to make sure your guys are dialed in, make sure they do their assignments. You never know what's going to happen in a game. Fortunately we've been OK in that field the last couple of years. But that definitely helped us, because that's a good football team. I was pleased that we played that well from a penalty standpoint."
Conversely, the Blue Hens were penalized five times for 45 yards, including a 15-yard personal foul for hitting Proctor after he had gone out of bounds. It came on third-and-8 from the Navy 47 with the Midshipmen leading 19-7 in the third quarter. It helped Navy sustain a drive that ended with a 27-yard touchdown run by Proctor.
In a 14-3 loss to Kentucky, Western Kentucky was penalized 12 times for 120 yards.
Defensive line coach Dale Pehrson's unit was playing with two new starters in sophomores Jamel Dobbs and Alex Doolittle, who was in because senior Jared Marks had been suspended for a game for violating team rules. They were aggressive in following the lead of senior Jabaree Tuani but never jumped offside.
"We're a little bit of a bend-don't-break defense and you can't give things away if you're going to play that kind of defense," Pehrson said. "It's really critical. Not only the yardage, but there's a mentality of 'What have we done?' [by committing a penalty]. It sort of snowballs. To not have a penalty, to keep the focus, it's critical. It's hard to get 5 yards, and it's hard keeping them from getting 5 yards."
Said junior inside linebacker Matt Brewer, who in his first start and basically his first snaps on defense led the Midshipmen with seven tackles: "You want to play with discipline and not make mistakes. To see that hard work pay off and translating into a game gives us the confidence that we can do this."

A method for estimating 3D displacements from two stereo frames is presented. It is based on the hypothesize-and-verify paradigm used to match 3D line segments between the two frames. In order to reduce the complexity of the method, an assumption is made that objects are rigid. The formulate a set of complete rigidity constraints for 3D line segments and integrate the uncertainty of measurements in this formation. The hypothesize-and-verify stages of the method use an extended Kalman filter to produce estimates of the displacements and of their uncertainty. The algorithm is shown to work on indoor and natural scenes. It is also shown to be easily extended to the case in which several mobile objects are present. The method is quite robust, fast, and has been thoroughly tested on hundreds of real stereo frames.

Oh, to be a gambling man. Rich Franklin is making good on his promise that he would get a tattoo if he was to lose to Forrest Griffin at UFC 126, according to MMAFighting.com. After dropping a unanimous decision, "Ace" is apparently getting a dragon put on his back and will be providing photos once it is finished.
Not even winning "Fight of the Night" is enough to save UFC lightweights from the massive cuts still coming down after the merger with the WEC. Gareth Davies (via FiveOuncesofPain) brings word that British striker Paul Kelly (11-4) has been released from the promotion after his second round submission loss to Donald Cerrone (14-3) at UFC 126: "Silva vs. Belfort" on Feb. 5. The "sucker punch" reportedly had nothing to do with the decision to let "Tellys" go.
After suffering a knockout loss to Mike Pierce (12-3) in his Octagon debut at UFC 126, welterweight Kenny Robertson (10-1) has been released by Zuffa, according to FiveOuncesofPain.com.
Here comes the "Money." Fresh on the heels of a unanimous decision win over Michihiro Omigawa (12-9-1) at the "Silva vs. Belfort" event on Feb. 5, featherweight Chad Mendes (10-0) has signed a new four-fight deal with the UFC, according to MMAWeekly.com.
UFC light heavyweight Jon Jones was involved in a car crash today, although he was not injured and his fight against Ryan Bader at UFC 126 will go on, according to his Twitter. The other person involved in the collision was a woman who was carried out on a stretcher. There has been no word on her condition.
Rich "Ace" Franklin graces the cover of the Januay 2011 issue of Muscle and Fitness magazine in the lead-up to his fight against Forrest Griffin at UFC 126: "Silva vs Belfort" on Feb. 5 in Las Vegas.
Ryan Bader says that despite Jon Jones track record against strong wrestlers, he has to respect his skills.
