Indian industry must take up business opportunities coming up in Myanmar, Indian Ambassador to Myanmar Villur Sundarajan Seshadri said on Thursday.
Outlining the possible areas of interest, Seshadri said earlier this month the Myanmar Energy Minister had said that there would be open bidding for onshore and offshore oil and gas blocks later this year.
"He also said that the next tender will contain 10 onshore and offshore blocks. They are also known to be working on a mining policy, which is likely to be outlined later this year. Incidentally, event management has also become a big business. In addition, in the telecom sector, there are ambitious plans to open up and expand by 30 million lines in next five-six years," the Envoy said.
He said though foreign banks were not allowed to open direct retail operations in Myanmar, the United Bank of India had already got a licence for opening a representative office and Exim Bank had applied for one. "I think one or two more Indian banks are showing interest," he said.
Seshadri said Myanmar had taken a number of steps to attract foreign investment, including floating its currency, short-listing 12 Myanmar companies for starting insurance business and moving towards selling off Government businesses.
He said while details were not available as yet, reports indicated that foreign investment of up to 49 per cent was proposed in agriculture, livestock and offshore fishing. Besides, in high technology, Myanmar has allowed up to 100 per cent foreign investment.
"There is a minimum level of investment for foreign investment which is at 35 per cent," he added.
Addressing the meeting, Chairman and Managing Director of Exim Bank T.C.A. Ranganathan said India needed to get out of the 'No Action Only Talk' in Myanmar.

Let's start with a disclaimer: If you are looking for a critical, hard hitting breakdown of yesterday's practice...well, you are not gonna find it here. Jimmy and jasonkylebates have been all over the actual practice coverage; lettin' us know how Vince and CJ are looking, evaluating the battle for CB #2 and all the rest. Me? Well I took my opportunity yesterday to just be a fan. So what you are gonna find here are my story...a lot of pictures...and maybe some observations on how big of a dude Eugene Amano really is (huge!) or how Marc Mariani looks like Jimmy in shoulder pads (he really does!). So, enjoy!
So I was invited to attend Titans practice on Tuesday as a guest of a corporate sponsor of the Tennessee Titans. We arrived at Baptist Sports Park around 2:15 local time and were immediately taken into the practice bubble to wait on the rest of our group. The bubble contains a 120 yard field-turf practice field that the team is able to use when weather forces them inside and also when they are preparing to play games on turf like Lucas Oil Stadium.
(Click on any of the pictures throughout to see them larger.)
Saw this right when we walked into the bubble. Looks like an autograph, just not Rennie Curran's:
We spent about 30 minutes in the practice bubble getting our nametags and wristbands situated and being greeted by Titans' Executive Vice President Don McLachlan (who actually thanked US for being there!). Mr McLachlan also introduced us to Voice of the Titans Mike Keith and Executive Vice President of Player Personnel Ruston Webster. All 3 gentlemen treated us to a Q&A period, as well as talking to us about the state of the team and the overall excitement surrounding our 2010 draft class. To be honest, it felt a little surreal to be standing there with such a small group being able to ask questions. I really had to restrain myself from tackling my buddy to see if Mike Keith would yell SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!
I should have done it.
So then it was getting close to time for practice and we started to make our way out to the practice field. It was hot. But I didn't care. The team had a tent set up on the side of the practice field that was being used for 104.5 The Zone to broadcast from. It was also where the caterer set up the spread for our group (it looked great, but it was too stinkin' hot to eat anything. They had some mighty fine strawberry lemonade though.) Practice was just beginning, and the running backs were running position drills with new running backs coach Craig Johnson right in front of our tent.
That is Coach Johnson getting ready to throw a pass to Alvin Pearman with LeGarrette Blount (who is huge by the way..I had no idea how big he was) #42, Stafon Johnson #13, Javon Ringer #21 and I think you might know who #28 is. (And I put those numbers underneath the players so you would know who they were. I know southtexastitan would be the first to ask if the numbers are on the field.)
The quarterbacks were throwing with the receivers closer to the building. I want to believe that Kerry and Vince were wondering aloud if the KC vs VY thread was still active at MCM.
Kenny Britt, Paul Williams and Justin Gage
Headed over to where the OLine and DLine were working. Noticed on my way that Big Country is bigger than a golf cart:
And Pinoy's boy Eugene Amano (54) appears to be wider than a golf cart:
Next stop was a popular stop for fans attending practice: The defensive line drills.
You can see here that Coach Washburn is not afraid to get down and work with his men. Here he lines up against Jason Jones (91) while Seabreeze (95) takes a knee:
MCM favorite Jacob Ford gets some instruction from Coach Wash
The next two pictures are Jason Jones lining up against Seabreeze and running a drill while Coach Wash watches intently:
Something I noticed while I watched the dline run through their workout was that Derrick Morgan (96) had been sneaking in closer and closer to where the action was. Coach Wash actually moved him back once...I could have sworn he was gonna jump in there and hit somebody. You can tell he is ready to get over this injury and get to work.
After the dline went to work with the oline, I headed over to watch the receivers and defensive backs battle. Here we can see Marc Mariani (83) line up against Chris Hope (24). You can also see friend of MCM Alterraun Verner (20) looking on, as well as Michael Griffin (33) and SoCalTitan's favorite LaVelle Hawkins (87).
Dominique Edison (19) and Vincent Fuller (22) finish up while FOMCM Alterraun Verner (20) tells Kenny Britt (18) that he ain't gettin' by this time:
Robert Johnson (32) goes against Paul Williams (81) while the receiver group looks on. (BTW, both Johnson and Myron Rolle look much taller in person than I had thought they were.)
Cortland Finnegan (31) covers Nate Washington (85):
I took some more pictures as the team moved into 7 on 7 and full team workouts. Here we see FOMCM Alterraun Verner and (this made me kind of sad) Rennie Curran sporting the Titan blue 53:
A good picture of Javon Ringer (21) bringing me the ball (you can also see Myron Rolle (25) at safety):
I'm over here Javon!
Oh, and a little MCM favorite Donnie Nickey sighting for ADub right there!
The defense lined up here with Rolle (25), our 7th round pick David Howard (67) at tackle, Jason Babin (93) and that Titan blue 53 again:
3/4 of our starting secondary:
My Bironas kicking a field goal:
#1 offense takes the field with Amano at center:
I happened to notice this guy taking pictures:
Alterraun lines up across from Mariani as Edison goes in motion:
For all the #28 fans out there...let's have VY get him the ball out of the backfield and let him take it down the sideline:
That's Tully (55) lining him up for the big hit
It was right after that play that I noticed the equipment guy in the gray shirt had the tattoo of the day:
20 and 83 again:
The last picture there is the beginning of what was one of my two favorite plays of the day. Verner started the play lined up across from Mariani, but picked up Phillip Morris (16) down the field after he started in the slot. Morris had the position and the ball in his hands, but Verner decided he was not gonna give up until that ball was on the turf. Awesome play here:
And who is bringing the ball back? That is Friend of MCM Alterraun Verner:
I think we are really gonna love us some two zero.
And this brings me to my second favorite play of the day. One that really showed how much fun these guys are having on the field. Ryan Mouton (29) made a great play on an interception late in the practice (I believe Simms was the quarterback) and had a clear path to 6. But a certain starting quarterback was not gonna let it go that easy. I wish I had been taking pictures during the whole play instead of running my mouth imparting my Titans knowledge on somebody who probably doesn't care as much as I do, but I did get the camera going when I noticed VY giving chase. Here is the sequence where VY makes sure Mouton doesn't get to score:
And don't worry....it was all in almost slow motion...nobody was gonna get hurt messing around like that. This also drew the biggest cheer of the day from the crowd. But it wasn't over yet! VY was still "hot" and was not gonna let 20 and 23 come down and congratulate Mouton on his great play:
Now I really get to show off. After practice, we had several players who were not scheduled to sign autographs come over to greet us and sign for us. All of the players that we met were polite and talkative. David Thornton assured me that he would be ready to start the season, and that he was working twice as hard to fill the void that will be left by Bulluck's departure. So between them and the players who were scheduled to sign I managed to fill up my ball pretty good.
Mike Keith and David Thornton:
Jamie Winborn (52), Vince Young and Damian Williams (17)
Ryan Mouton (29), Will Witherspoon (4), LaVelle Hawkins (87) and Derrick Morgan (96)
And it should be mentioned that Vince Young stood by the fence and signed autographs until everyone who wanted one had one. Well over an hour. Props to VY.
So after we got some autographs, my buddy wondered aloud if I thought they would give us a tour of the facility. What is the harm in asking? So he asked Mr McLachlan, and I almost passed out when he said "Sure! Follow me!"
So we grabbed our bags and followed Mr McLachlan across the practice field and into the building where the players enter the locker room. Just so happened Coach Cecil was standing just inside giving an interview, and Michael Griffin was standing by as if he was next. We proceeded down the hall into the training room, through into the weight room (which is enormous) and then turned into the hallway that leads from the weight room into the locker room. This is the "mural" hallway where you often see Mike Keith interviewing players. I stopped for a minute to take some pictures of some of the pictures on the wall:
The Miracle:
AFC Champions:
Two of my all time favorite Titan pictures that just happen to be from the same game:
Our tour continued through the locker room, down the hall by the defense meeting room, coaches' offices (where I shook Coach Johnson's hand and spoke with Coach Graves for a moment), by the team meeting room and training table and back out into the lobby of the building where Mr McLachlan told us goodbye (and we thanked him profusely). In the lobby of the facility, they have framed copies of the Tennessean hanging on the walls commemorating special moments in Titan history. A couple of my favorites:
What a
good great awesome abso-freaking-lutely incredible experience. I will owe my friend AC for a while for inviting me along. Everyone associated with the Tennessee Titans, Titans Radio and 104.5 The Zone that we met were incredible. The other thing that I am convinced of after visiting practice is that we are gonna be back this season. Yeah, I said it. My Titan fandom is like an upside down bell curve. I bottom out in April-May-June as I continue to dwell on the dissapointment of the previous season and then bring it back up as camp opens. Especially when I get as excited as I was yesterday. So I have officially changed my stance on the 2010 Season of Doom.
Hope you enjoyed reading and checking out the pictures. I have an old man rant that I am gonna lace into next, so go ahead and click out if you don't want to hear it.
Old man rant!
A conversation that I actually witnessed yesterday while waiting on Jamie Winborn to sign my football:
Mouthbreather: Hey man! What's your name!
Jamie Winborn: Jamie Winborn
Mouthbreather: Cool! I am mouthbreather, nice to meet you!
Jamie Winborn: Nice to meet you.
Mouthbreather: Hey, is Cortland gonna come out and sign?
Jamie Winborn: Don't know...probably not.
Without saying another word to Winborn, the mouthbreather turned around and walked off as Winborn was reaching to sign his football. What a freaking loser. To his credit, Winborn just shrugged his shoulders when I told him that what mouthbreather did was screwed up and that I appreciated his time. He handled it a lot better than I would have.
I know that our society has lost most all semblance of politeness and civility (go read Stampede Blue if you don't believe me), but the autograph seeker behavior I saw yesterday disgusted me. It was really appalling. Is it that freaking hard to tell a guy "thank you" for signing your jersey? Or not elbow the girl next to you in the head because you just have to be the next one to get Kenny Britt to sign the 34 football cards you have on your clipboard? I honestly heard "thank you" maybe 3 times. And that was after I made smash tell Damian Williams thanks. David Thornton looked at me like I was speaking chinese when I told him thank you. I am not getting into a discussion about how much money someone makes and whether or not they owe you an autograph. Just freaking say thank you. It really is not that hard. And don't beg em for their shorts and get pissed when they say no. And if Vince Young politely says he wants to sign more autographs and not take the time to stop and take a picture with you when he knows that you can't work the camera, don't throw a hissy fit. I am honestly surprised that these guys are still so willing to sign an autograph after the garbage I saw. Embarrassing really.
Oh, and one more thing:

Is it possible to live with dignity in today's world, and if so, how can this be done? To raise such a question may sound strange in an age like our own, when our frantic struggle to make ends meet hardly allows us the leisure to ponder such abstract matters. But if we do pause long enough to give this question a little thought, we would realize soon enough that it is not merely the idle musing of someone with too much time on his hands. The question touches on the very meaning of our lives, and goes even beyond our personal quest for meaning to the very springs of contemporary culture. For if it isn't possible to live with dignity then life has no transcendent purpose, and our only aim in the brief time allotted to us should be to snatch whatever thrills we can before the lights go off for good. But if we can find a basis for living with dignity, then we need to consider whether we are actually living as we should and whether our culture as a whole supports a dignified lifestyle.
Though the idea of dignity seems simple enough at first sight, it is actually more complex than one might suppose. My Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (1936!) defines it as ßelevation of character, intrinsic worth, excellence, nobleness of manner, aspect, or style.ű My Roget's Thesaurus (1977) groups it with ßprestige, esteem, repute, honor, glory, renown, fameű Đ evidence that over the last forty years the word's epicentre of meaning has undergone a shift. When we inquire about living with dignity, our focus should be on the word's older nuance. What I have in mind is living with the conviction that one's life has intrinsic worth, that we possess a potential for moral excellence that resonates with the hymn of the galaxies.
The conscious pursuit of dignity does not enjoy much popularity these days, having been crowded out by such stiff competitors as wealth and power, success and fame. Behind this devaluation of dignity lies a series of developments in Western thought that emerged in reaction to the dogmatic certainties of Christian theology. The Darwinian theory of evolution, Freud's thesis of the Id, economic determinism, the computer model of the mind: all these trends, arisen more or less independently, have worked together to undermine the notion that our lives have inherent worth. When so many self-assured voices speak to the contrary, no longer can we view ourselves as the crowning glory of creation. Instead we have become convinced we are nothing but packets of protoplasm governed by selfish genes, clever monkeys with college degrees and business cards plying across highways rather than trees.
Such ideas, in however distorted a form, have seeped down from the halls of academia into popular culture, eroding our sense of human dignity on many fronts. The free-market economy, the task master of the modern social order, leads the way. For this system the primary form of human interaction is the contract and the sale, with people themselves reckoned simply as producers and consumers, sometimes even as commodities. In vast impersonal democracies the individual becomes a mere face in the crowd, to be manipulated by slogans, images, and promises into voting for this candidate or that. Cities have expanded into sprawling urban jungles, dirty and dangerous, whose dazed occupants seek to escape the pangs of wounded pride with the help of drugs and loveless sex. Escalation in crime, political corruption, upheavals in family life, the despoliation of the environment: these all speak to us as much of a deterioration in how we regard ourselves as in how we relate to others.
Amidst this wreckage, can the Dhamma help us recover our lost sense of dignity and thereby give new meaning to our lives? The answer to this question is yes, and in two ways: first, by justifying our claim to innate dignity, and second, by showing us what we must do to actualize our potential dignity.
For Buddhism the innate dignity of human beings does not stem from our relationship to an all-mighty God or our endowment with an immortal soul. It stems, rather, from the exalted place of human life in the broad expanse of sentient existence. Far from reducing human beings to children of chance, the Buddha teaches that the human realm is a special realm standing squarely at the spiritual centre of the cosmos. What makes human life so special is that human beings have a capacity for moral choice that is not shared by other types of beings. Though this capacity is inevitably subject to limiting conditions, we always possess, in the immediate present, a margin of inner freedom that allows us to change ourselves and thereby to change the world.
But life in the human realm is far from cozy. It is, rather, inconceivably difficult and complex, rife with conflicts and moral ambiguities offering enormous potential for both good and evil. This moral complexity can make of human life a painful struggle indeed, but it also renders the human realm the most fertile ground for sowing the seeds of enlightenment. It is at this tauntingly ambiguous crossroads that we can either rise to the heights of spiritual greatness or fall to degrading depths. The two alternatives branch out from each present moment, and which one we take depends on ourselves.
While this unique capacity for moral choice and spiritual awakening confers intrinsic dignity on human life, the Buddha does not emphasize this so much as he does our ability to acquire active dignity. This ability is summed up by a word that lends its flavour to the entire teaching, ariya or noble. The Buddha's teaching is the ariyadhamma, the noble doctrine, and its purpose is to change human beings from ßignorant worldlingsű into noble disciples resplendent with noble wisdom. The change does not come about through mere faith and devotion but by treading the Buddhist path, which transmutes our frailties into invincible strengths and our ignorance into knowledge.
The notion of acquired dignity is closely connected with the idea of autonomy. Autonomy means self-control and self-mastery, freedom from the sway of passion and prejudice, the ability to actively determine oneself. To live with dignity means to be one's own master: to conduct one's affairs on the basis of one's own free choices instead of being pushed around by forces beyond one's control. The autonomous individual draws his or her strength from within, free from the dictates of craving and bias, guided by an inward perception of righteousness and truth.
The person who represents the climax of dignity for Buddhism is the arahant, the liberated one, who has reached the pinnacle of spiritual autonomy: release from the dictates of greed, hatred, and delusion. The very word arahant suggests this sense of dignity: the word means ßworthy one,ű one who deserves the offerings of gods and humans. Although in our present condition we might still be far from the stature of an arahant, this does not mean we are utterly lost, for the means of reaching the highest goal is already within our reach. The means is the Noble Eightfold Path with its twin pillars of right view and right conduct. Right view is the first factor of the path and the guide for all the others. To live with right view is to see that our decisions count, that our volitional actions have consequences that extend beyond themselves and conduce to our long-term happiness or suffering. The active counterpart of right view is right conduct, action guided by the ideal of moral and spiritual excellence. Right conduct in body, speech, and mind brings to fulfilment the other seven factors of the eightfold path, culminating in true knowledge and deliverance.
In today's hectic world humankind is veering recklessly in two harmful directions. One is the path of violent struggle and confrontation, the other that of frivolous self-indulgence. Beneath their apparent contrasts, what unites these two vicious extremes is a shared disregard for human dignity: the former violates the dignity of other people, the latter undermines one's own dignity. The Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path is a middle way that avoids all harmful extremes. To follow this path not only brings a quiet dignity into one's own life but also sounds an eloquent rejoinder to the cynicism and hollow pretensions of our age.

Buddhism Without Beliefs: A
Contemporary Guide to Awakening.
Stephen Batchelor.
It has often been said that Western Buddhism is distinguished from its Asian prototype by three innovative shifts: the replacement of the monastery by the lay community as the principal arena of Buddhist practice; the enhanced position of women; and the emergence of a grass-roots ßengaged Buddhismű aimed at social and political transformation. These three developments, however, have been encompassed by a fourth which is so much taken for granted that it is barely noticed. This fourth development might be briefly described as the transplantation of Buddhist practice from its native soil of faith and doctrine into a new setting governed by largely secular concerns. Stephen Batchelor's Buddhism Without Beliefs is an eloquent and provocative attempt to articulate the premises of this emerging form of Buddhism and to define its style of practice. Batchelor is a gifted writer with a talent for translating abstract explanation into concrete imagery drawn from everyday life. His book is obviously the product of serious reflection and testifies to a deep urge to make the Dhamma viable in our present sceptical age. Whether his vision is adequate to that aim is a tantalizing question which I hope to touch on in the course of this review.
The book is divided into three parts, each with several short sections. In the first part, entitled ßGround,ű Batchelor sketches the theoretical framework of his ßBuddhism without beliefs.ű He begins by drawing a sharp distinction between two entities so closely intertwined as to seem inseparable, but which, he holds, must be severed for the Dhamma to discover its contemporary relevance. One is ßdharma practice,ű the Buddha's teaching as a path of training aimed at awakening and freedom from ßexistential anguishű (his rendering of dukkha); the other is ßBuddhism,ű which he views as a system of beliefs and observances geared towards social stability and religious consolation. According to Batchelor, if the Dhamma is to offer an effective alternative to mainstream thought and values, it has to be divested of its religious apparel and recast in a purely secular mode. What then emerges is an ßagnosticű version of the Dhamma aimed at personal and social liberation from the suffering created by egocentric clinging.
The most controversial plank of Batchelor's agnostic Buddhism is his claim that the ideas of rebirth and kamma have no privileged place in the Dhamma. They are, he contends, merely part of the ancient cultural baggage that the Buddha inherited from his Indian background and need to be stripped away to reveal the Dhamma as ßan existential, therapeutic, and liberating agnosticismű (p.15). For those of us who take a more traditional approach to the Dhamma, the twin teachings of rebirth and kamma are the girders that support the Buddha's whole program of deliverance. Within the framework of the teaching they do not function as articles of belief commanding intellectual consent, but as guideposts to right understanding that at once make known the condition from which we need liberation (i.e. the round of re-becoming) and the prospect of gradual progress towards the goal (i.e. through cumulative striving over many lives).
The sharp dichotomy that Batchelor posits between ßdharma practiceű and ßreligious Buddhismű is also hard to endorse. In its place we should recognize, rather, a spectrum of Buddhist practices ranging from simple devotional and ethical observances to more advanced contemplative and philosophical ones. What makes these all specifically part of the Buddhist Dhamma is that they are enfolded in a distinctive matrix of faith and understanding which disappears when ßdharma practiceű is pursued on the basis of purely secular premises. Even Batchelor's contention that Buddhist religiosity is defined by a set of beliefs seems to derive its plausibility from viewing Buddhism in terms of a Christian model. As taught by the Buddha, the Dhamma makes no demands for blind faith, for the invitation to question and investigate is always open. In the Buddha's version of the path, one begins with certain beliefs that one uses as guidelines to right understanding and right practice. Then, when one's practice matures, one goes beyond belief to personal realization based on insight. Once one arrives at the far shore one can leave behind the entire raft (see MN 22), but one doesn't discard the compass before one has even stepped on board.
The middle portion of the book is called ßPathű and provides a sketch of Batchelor's agnostic conception of dharma practice. His explanations here are clear and lively, allowing him to display the creative side of his literary gifts. Separate sections deal with mindful awareness, insight into emptiness, and the development of compassion, each introduced by a simple example. He also includes a section on the twelve links of dependent origination, which he interprets in an original way.
In the final part, ßFruition,ű Batchelor tackles the problem of the encounter between Buddhism and the contemporary world. He here argues that the meeting of Buddhism with the contemporary West has given rise to the need to create, from the resources of the dharma, a new ßculture of awakening that addresses the specific anguish of the contemporary worldű (p.110). Such a culture must respond to the unprecedented situation we find today, when the promise of spiritual liberation has converged with a universal striving for personal and social freedom. In attempting to create such a culture of awakening, he stresses the need for dharma followers to preserve the integrity of the Buddhist tradition while at the same time fulfilling their responsibility to the present and the future. With this much I am in full agreement. Where I differ with him is on the question of what is central to the Dhamma and what peripheral. In my view, Batchelor is ready to cast away too much that is integral to the Buddha's teaching in order to make it fit in with today's secular climate of thought, and I'm afraid that the ultimate outcome of such concessions could be a psychologically oriented humanism tinged with Buddhist philosophy and a meditative mood.
[I would also maintain that when the secular presuppositions of modernity clash with the basic principles of right understanding stressed by the Buddha, there is no question as to which of the two must go. Sam1sŕra as the beginningless round of rebirths, kamma as its regulative law, Nibbŕna as a transcendent goal: surely these ideas won't get a rousing welcome from skeptical minds. A sense of refuge, renunciation, compassion based on the perception of universal suffering, a striving to break all mental bonds and fetters: surely these values are difficult in an age of easy pleasure. But these are all so fundamental to the true Dhamma, so closely woven into its fabric, that to delete them is to risk nullifying its liberative power. If this means that Buddhism retains its character as a religion, so be it. In this I see nothing to fear; the greater danger is in diluting the teaching so much that its potency is lost.]

This is an abridged version of a fuller review published in the online Journal of Buddhist Ethics .
According to the commentary the sixteen defilements of mind are abandoned by the four noble paths in the following sequence:
(i) The path of stream-entry abandons six defilements: (5) denigration, (6) disputatiousness, (7) envy, (8) avarice, (9) deceit, and (10) hypocrisy.
(ii) The path of non-returning abandons four: (2) ill will, (3) anger, (4) malice, and (16) negligence.
(iii) The path of arahantship abandons the remaining six: (1) covetousness and greed, (11) obstinacy, (12) competitiveness, (13) conceit, (14) arrogance, and (15) vanity.
The path of once-returning does not abandon any defilements completely, but it weakens the coarser aspects of the defilements to be abandoned by the two higher paths.
The classification proposed by the commentary is not in perfect agreement with the suttas. There is one text in the Anguttara Nikŕya (II,xvi,21; PTS ed. AN I 96) which states that the six defilements listed under (i), which the commentary says are abandoned by the stream-enterer, are obstacles for a trainee (sekha) bhikkhu, i.e. for one who is at least a stream-enterer. This, of course, would not be possible if the stream-enterer had abandoned them. It also seems that the suttas use the term negligence (pamŕda) in so broad a sense that it can be taken to underlie all the other defilements, which would imply that it is fully eliminated only by the arahant.
Nevertheless, regardless of how this scheme is interpreted, the rest of the sutta makes it clear that at this point the monk is not yet an arahant, for the Buddha will go on to show what he must do to reach the final goal. While the text does not expressly indicate his level of attainment, it drops several hints that he is a non-returner. We will point these out below.
After declaring that the monk has abandoned (in part) these defilements of the mind, the Buddha next draws out the consequences. He first states that in abandoning the defilements the monk becomes endowed with confirmed confidence (aveccappasŕda) in the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Sangha, each of which is described by its standard recollection formula. Confirmed confidence in the Three Jewels is the unique faith of a noble disciple, possessed only by those who have reached one of the four stages of awakening. The confidence is said to be confirmedŢavecca, literally ßby having undergoneűŢbecause it is based on direct perception of the Dhamma. Having seen for themselves the truth of the Buddha's teachings, the noble disciples never vacillate in their conviction that the Three Jewels are the supreme objects of trust and devotion. They place perfect trust in the Buddha as the peerless spiritual guide; in the Dhamma as the flawless map of the way to final liberation; and in the Ariya Sangha as the community of those who have won the transcendent path and gained access to Nibbŕna the Deathless.
The faith of a worldling, no matter how fervent and sincere, cannot be described as ßconfirmed confidence,ű for such faith is vulnerable to doubt and may even be discarded through a change in religious allegiance. When, however, a disciple arrives at the path of stream-entry, he or she penetrates the ultimate truth and eradicates the lower three fetters, including the fetter of doubt. With this step, the provisional trust the disciple invested in the work of treading the path receives indubitable confirmation, and this transforms that provisional faith into confirmed confidence.
As the monk reflects on the fact that he has partly abandoned the mind's defilements, and considers further his fixed confidence in the Three Jewels, his reflection becomes the starting point for a process of meditative development that culminates in concentration. We can see in this a ßfeedback mechanismű at work, by which the effort that the monk initially put into the practice culminates in penetration of the Dhamma, which in turn brings an upsurge of joy that inspires renewed effort and hence higher attainments. As the monk reflects he gains enthusiasm for the goal (atthaveda) and enthusiasm for the teaching (dhammaveda), and this gives rise to gladness based on the teaching. As the gladness deepens it turns into rapture (păti); with his mind elated by rapture his body becomes tranquil; tranquil in body, he experiences inward happiness (sukha); suffused by happiness, his mind gains concentration (samŕdhi).
The Buddha praises this monk thus: ßIf a monk of such virtue, such concentration, and such wisdom eats alms food consisting of choice rice and various sauces and curries, even that will be no obstacle for him.ű Reading between the lines, we see that these words imply that the monk is a non-returner. The reason is that a non-returner has eliminated all sensual desire, i.e. all desire connected with the ßfive cords of sensual pleasure,ű and thus has no attachment to delicious tastes. Since the monk can eat choice food without encountering any ßobstacleű (antarŕya)Ţnamely, any craving for tastesŢthis means he has overcome the fetter of sensual desire, which implies he is a non-returner. Thus elsewhere (SN 12:63/II 99) the Buddha says: ßWhen the nutriment of edible food has been fully understood, the lust based on the five senses is fully understood; and when the lust based on the five senses is fully understood, there is no fetter bound by which the noble disciple will come back to this world.ű

Tariff panel moots 28 pc cut in GAIL gas transmission rates
Richa Mishra
New Delhi , Nov. 23
THE Tariff Commission, which was tasked to review the gas transmission tariff of GAIL (India) Ltd, is understood to have suggested a 28 per cent reduction in charges.
The Government had decided to review GAIL's tariff after the Fertiliser Ministry, on behalf of the fertiliser industry, complained of high transmission costs.
The Commission, in its final recommendations recently submitted to the Fertiliser and Petroleum Ministries, has examined two scenarios a high case tariff of a little over Rs 820 per thousand standard cubic metre (SCM) of gas moved on its Hazira-Vijaipur-Jagdishpur (HVJ) pipeline, down from the current tariff of Rs 1,150 per thousand SCM. The low case corresponds to a tariff less than Rs 650 per thousand SCM.
The Commission has also suggested a marginal reduction in the marketing margins charged by GAIL. Marketing of gas constitutes a significant 65 per cent of revenues, but it rakes in a measly eight per cent of GAIL's profits.
GAIL's current tariff of Rs 1,150 per thousand SCM, or roughly 60 cents per million British thermal unit (mmbtu), over a 20-year period is arrived at after `levelising' the tariff uniformly over a 20-year period. Experts say that if the Government accepts the Commission's recommendation to slash tariff then it may lead to GAIL witnessing a dip in its profitability. Transmission business brings in 16.5 per cent of GAIL's revenues and 42.5 per cent of its net profitability.
When contacted by Business Line, Mr Proshanto Banerjee, CMD, GAIL, said, "If an integrated transmission charge for gas has been recommended in respect of HVJ and Dahej-Vijaipur Pipe Line (DVPL), then as per our understanding the recommendations would lead to a lower tariff to some extent for HVJ and to some extent a higher tariff for the DVPL system. However, the final outcome would depend upon the decision to be taken by the Group of Ministers and only then the financial implications for GAIL and our customers can be worked out."
"The recommendations of the Tariff Commission would not only allow adoption of a simpler, transparent and flexible methodology, but also would pave way for the creation of a uniform tariff computation mechanism, which would become a benchmark for all the pipeline systems in the country," he said.
Based on what the company has gathered, the Tariff Commission has recommended Cost of Services methodology for computation of pipeline tariffs, in place of the earlier Discounted Cash Flow methodology, which is a positive signal, he said. Now, there would be an integrated tariff for the HVJ and DVPL systems of GAIL, in place of the current individual tariffs, he added.
The company was of the view that once these important principles are accepted by the Government, it would equally apply to all the gas transportation companies, namely, Gujarat State Petronet Ltd, Gujarat Gas Company Ltd, Assam Gas Company Ltd, Gas Transportation and Infrastructure Company Ltd of Reliance, and, indeed would also apply to all the oil pipeline players such as IOC, HPCL, BPCL for their crude and product pipelines.

SACRAMENTO—Four out of five teenagers in the 21st Century are armed with a technological device that could ruin their lives and land them in jail.
According to Harris Interactive, 17 million teenagers in the United States carry a cell phone device capable of taking photographs, sending short messages and -- the obvious -- making and receiving phone calls. Fifty-seven percent of teens say cell phones are key to keeping up with their social life.
But some teens are making a choice to use their cell phone for a dangerous and illegal trend -- sending pornographic photos of themselves through text messaging.
The act is known as "sexting," a practice that one in five American teenagers has engaged in according to a research poll by Chicago-based Teenage Reserch Unlimited. In order to engage in sexting, a teen needs two simple tools: A phone capable of taking photographs, and a cell phone plan capable of sending and receiving multimedia text messages.
Accidental Leaks
The issue of sexting was thrust into the national spotlight after nude photos of "High School Musical" star Vanessa Hudgens were leaked onto the Internet after a hacker allegedly broke into her cell phone in 2007. Hudgens later apologized for the incident, which she considered a "lapse in judgment."
One year later, nude photos of Phillip Sherman and his wife were leaked onto the Internet after the Arkansas-native left his cell phone behind at a McDonald's restaurant.
"If you lose your phone, the pictures could end up in the wrong hands," the website MomLogic.com wrote in a recent blog entry on the topic. "Nothing is 100% secure. The only way to make sure nude photos of you don't leak is not to take them."
Shattered Lives
Jesse Logan was sixteen-years-old. She thought the nude photos she took with her cell phone would only be seen by her boyfriend. What she didn't realize is that the photos would spread throughout her Cincinnati-area high school after her and her boyfriend split up.
In May 2008, Logan offered herself to a local television station reporting on the dangers of sexting. Her message was simple: Texting naked photos has irreversible, long-term, damaging effects on everyone involved.
"I just want to make sure no one else will have to go through this again," she said in the television interview, appearing in silhouette to conceal her identity.
Logan was taunted and teased every day at school. She began skipping classes and suffered from depression.
"She was being attacked and tortured," Cynthia Logan, Jesse's mother, told NBC News. "She was vivacious. She was fun. She was artistic. She was compassionate. She was a good kid."
A good kid who made a choice that changed her life forever. Her dreams of studying design at the University of Cincinnati after high school ended on July 3rd, 2008, when Jesse Logan hung herself in her bedroom.
Since her suicide, five teens have been accused of spreading Logan's photos to other students. Cynthia Logan has exhausted six lawyers who launched unsuccessful campaigns to bring those responsible for spreading Logan's photos to justice.
Criminal Acts
The problem with sexting among teenagers is that many see the practice of sending nude photos to peers as no big deal, even routine in 21st Century socializing. To an innocent mind, sexting may sound like harmless fun between friends or couples; however, the consequences of sexting can be long-lasting, even criminal, to those who send and receive the explicit photos.
"Sending and/or receiving photos of a sexual nature will result in serious consequences that may involve the police and other authorities," Monica Brady, a mom-blogger formerly from Sacramento, says.

Carlos Zambrano on schedule to join #Cubs Friday in Denver and will meet with players pregame
Via tweet from ESPN's Buster Olney:
Heard this: The Cubs have made it clear to other teams that they are ready to move Carlos Zambrano, if anyone is interested. #trades
Of course, there's the matter of nearly $42 million left on Z's contract to consider. The Cubs would have to eat a lot of it or take someone else's bad deal in return. SB Nation Chicago suggested a swap of Z to the White Sox for Jake Peavy, which would give the Sox a pitcher they need, who could be handled by his manager, in exchange for Peavy's risk of never pitching again.
As always, we await developments.
Paul Sullivan says it's "one more outing", then back to the team:
Carlos Zambrano will throw one more outing for Triple-A Iowa before returning from the restricted list next weekend in Colorado.
"We thought all along it would be in the Colorado series," manager Lou Piniella said. "And it looks that way."
At cubs.com, Carrie Muskat says it might be more:
Zambrano has been on the restricted list since June 29 following his dugout tantrum June 25 at U.S. Cellular Field. He will make at least one more outing with Iowa, then is expected to rejoin the Cubs at the end of the week in Colorado.
Zambrano threw two scoreless innings on Saturday; he might make another appearance for Iowa at Round Rock tonight. The Iowa Cubs fly to Albuquerque for a series starting Tuesday; from there it'd be a short hop for Z to fly on to Denver to meet the major league squad this weekend.
Carlos Zambrano will be given the chance to apologize to his teammates before facing the media on his return to the team:
"I think it's more important for him to clear that hurdle first," Piniella said of the apology. "And once he does that, then talk to the media. I think that's the right approach from him…We're just going to let him talk to the team, whatever he wants to say. Whenever he gets here, we'll have a little meeting and let Carlos say what he needs to say."
Piniella has not spoken to Zambrano, and neither have his most of teammates, with the exception of Ted Lilly.
Zambrano still will undergo anger-management sessions at various times the rest of the season, sources said, and the Cubs remain extra cautious about his comeback.
Zambrano is expected to make one or two more appearances for Triple-A Iowa before joining the Cubs in Denver for their series against the Rockies, which begins Friday, July 30.
Lou Piniella expects Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano to return to the team beginning with Monday's roadtrip after being placed on the restricted list following an in-game spat between himself and Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee on June 25.
Piniella made the announcement before Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals, saying he believes that a return on the road as opposed to at Wrigley will be easier for Zambrano.
"We talked about [it being easier for Zambrano to return on the road]," Piniella said Friday before the Cubs opened a series against the St. Louis Cardinals at Wrigley Field. "I think that [would] probably be a little easier.
"But at the same time, when he gets home, there will be a big media presence."
Piniella also discussed Zambrano's first outing for the Iowa Cubs, the team's Triple-A affiliate, on Thursday.
"He threw the ball OK," Piniella said. "The velocity is in the 91 to 92 mph range, and he competed, but he could use more work. "He hasn't been out there in three weeks or so, that's a long time. I think you get the rust off him first and then he can start getting ready strength-wise to pitch the way he's capable of. Let's not put too much into the few first appearances. It's been a while for him."
Via Dave van Dyck at the Tribune:
Iowa manager Ryne Sandberg said he expects Zambrano to throw three times — each most likely limited to one or two innings — as he begins his comeback to the Cubs after his suspension and counseling for anger management.
Via tweet from cubs.com's Carrie Muskat:
#Cubs Carlos Zambrano struck out one in one inning for the Mesa Rookie League team Monday night. Next stop, Triple-A Iowa
Here's the boxscore from the game; Z faced Royals rookie league hitters in the second inning of a 2-1 loss. Reliever Jeff Gray, who has also pitched for the major league Cubs this season, started the game and also threw a scoreless inning.
Via tweet from cubs.com's Carrie Muskat:
Expect #Cubs Carlos Zambrano to pitch for Triple-A Iowa Wed or Thu; he also will pitch in Round Rock this weekend before rejoining team
USA Today reports that Z's rehab assignment will begin after tomorrow:
Suspended Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano will throw a simulated game at the club's Mesa, Arizona facility Monday and then report to Class AAA Iowa to begin a rehabilitation assignment of at least one week.
Manager Lou Piniella said it's unlikely Zambrano will rejoin the big-league club on this homestand, which ends next Sunday. "He has missed alot. I would think (it would be) some time on the roadtrip," he said, of the timing of Zambrano's return.
General manager Jim Hendry said Cubs' pitching coach Larry Rothschild and staff will evaluate how many minor-league appearances Zambrano needs after Monday's simulated game workout.
ESPN's Bruce Levine quotes GM Jim Hendry on the situation:
Cubs general manager Jim Hendry said he was most concerned about Zambrano overextending himself upon his return.
"You want to make sure that you're sharp and you're ready when you get up here," Hendry said. "The health of the player is important. You don't rush it along, because when you get him up here he'll be over-amped a little bit. You have to prepare him for that."
Multiple media reports out of Des Moines say that Carlos Zambrano will pitch at least one game for the Iowa Cubs this week.
Carlos Zambrano will start his minor league rehab in Des Moines, Iowa Cubs officials said Saturday.
He is expected to be with the team during Tuesday's doubleheader against Oklahoma City that starts at 5 p.m. at Principal Park. Whether he pitches Tuesday, or during Wednesday's 7 p.m. game, also at Principal Park, is uncertain.
Iowa Cubs team sources say they are expecting Carlos Zambrano to pitch for the I-Cubs this week. He'll take the mound at Principal Park against Oklahoma City on either Tuesdays or Wednesday.
There is no confirmation of this from either the Iowa Cubs or Chicago Cubs officially — yet.
Carlos Zambrano has completed his mandated anger management therapy and threw 25 pitches today in Mesa, Bruce Levine reports. The Cubs are unsure of Zambrano's return date, but will sit down with the pitcher to establish it soon.
From MSNBC.com, quoting a Paul Sullivan Tribune article that was mostly on other topics:
The Cubs haven't said much on the topic, but Big Z is not yet throwing and might not be done with his anger management therapy. "We're still in limbo," manager Lou Piniella said Thursday. Zambrano was suspended indefinitely by the club after going on a tirade in the dugout in late June.
It doesn't seem likely that Z will return before the end of July, and it's still possible that management is working on a trade that could send him elsewhere before he ever puts on a Cubs uniform again.
MLB.com reports that Z has begun throwing on his own but is not on any sort of official program nor timetable:
"We can't do anything until the people who are looking at it give us the OK," Piniella said. "Larry's got a contingent plan made, assuming we get the OK soon."
Zambrano was examined by doctors assigned by Major League Baseball and the Players Association. He was in Chicago to undergo treatment. Piniella said Zambrano has been throwing. When the Cubs get the go-ahead, expect the right-hander to go to Mesa, Ariz., and workout at the team's facility there.
"He can play catch," Piniella said. "He's been throwing. But we're talking about on an assignment program."
Zambrano wasn't supposed to return until after the All-Star break, but that's now less than a week away. We await developments.
MLB.com reports Z will begin a throwing program:
Cubs manager Lou Piniella said before Monday's game at Chase Field that he expects pitcher Carlos Zambrano to begin working out and throwing this week, but he's not sure when the volatile right-hander will be reactivated.
Piniella also couldn't say when and where Zambrano even will begin working out, only that the team would be putting together a program for him.
"We'll have some details for you tomorrow," Piniella said shortly before the Cubs opened a three-game series against the D-backs.
Z isn't expected back before the All-Star break; when Lou has details, we'll post them here.
ESPN Chicago's Jeff Dickerson reports that, when Carlos Zambrano is ready to return to action with the Cubs, he'll likely be sent to make one or several rehab appearances in the minors. The report is based on manager Lou Piniella's remarking that, "I would think he would need a little work somewhere, yeah. But that subject hasn't been brought up yet."
Whether he stays with the Cubs or moves on, Zambrano is looking at a veritable lost season. To date, he's made only nine starts and pitched a total of 55.2 innings.
The Chicago Sun-Times spoke to sports psychiatrist Dr. Robert Burton, who had these thoughts about Carlos Zambrano's situation:
Burton said emotions often are part of an athlete's makeup.
''Athletes use their emotion to fuel their performance,'' he said. ''Each preferably has an optimal state you try to achieve, but it also requires him to manage it in a setting that is best for the team.
''And in a team sport, the important part is also getting along with the team. There's obviously a dynamic on the team that allows for certain behavior — but gross outbursts [like fights] aren't going to be well received.
''It's a good idea to let him be away from the team for a while.''
Zambrano may still need to be traded for the team's — and his — own good, but now he will be able to get help so he can channel those emotions into his performance rather than angry tirades.
On MLB Tonight on the MLB Network Monday evening, analyst Kevin Millar — who was in spring training camp with the Cubs this year — had this to say about Carlos Zambrano's suspension and what might come next:
I think he wants to heal the situation, whether he remains a Chicago Cub or not. Who knows if the wounds are too deep? Who knows? That's Jim Hendry's job. But see this is the problem: we give huge contracts to players and now we think 'Oh, that equals leadership,' or, "If a guy's doing well, that equals leadership.' That's not the case. You create these monsters through organizations and Carlos Zambrano's Carlos Zambrano. I think they knew this was an intense guy, I think they knew this guy who dances to a different beat at times, but he's not a bad human being by any means.
The altercation between Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano and first baseman Derrek Lee last week has led to the pitcher being placed on the restricted list according to Chicago Breaking Sports.
Carlos Zambrano will be placed on the restricted list, undergo a treatment program for his anger issues and will not return to the team until after the All-Star break, the Cubs said Monday.
Cubs general manager Jim Hendry spoke to representatives from Major League Baseball and the players union on Monday, and also spoke to Zambrano and his agent.
Zambrano's indefinite suspension will be limited to three games, ending after Monday night's game. He will be placed on the restricted list Tuesday.
"I think we all agree it's time he got help and address apologies later," Hendry said. "He will not meet formally or travel with the team before the (All-Star) break."
Reliever Jeff Stevens will rejoin the team Wednesday.
Paul Sullivan says a decision on Carlos Zambrano's status may come soon:
"Probably a four- or five-game suspension would suffice," he said. "As much attention as the incident received in Chicago, you really can't justify a suspension of more than that for acting like a goof and arguing with a teammate."
Zambrano already has served two games of the suspension. General manager Jim Hendry said he expects to hear from Major League Baseball and the players union today or Tuesday on how long the indefinite suspension can last.
There is one further option the Cubs have, as Sullivan writes:
The Cubs' chances of putting Zambrano on the restricted list
- where he wouldn't be paid or credited with service time -appears slim. The Cubs would be able to call someone up from the minors to replace Zambrano if he was on the restricted list, but will have to play one man short as long as he's on the suspended list.
Gordon Wittenmyer's Sun-Times article claims Zambrano told friends it was Lee's fault:
Zambrano already is calling his actions Friday ''completely misunderstood'' and blaming Derrek Lee for turning it into a big deal by confronting him during his ranting and raving after the White Sox' four-run first inning.
''All he wanted to do was pump the team up. It was completely misunderstood,'' a source close to Zambrano said, adding that Lee ''took it personal'' and told Zambrano to ''shut the f—- up.''
Yet team sources say Zambrano's rant – much of which was in Spanish – included yelling, ''This team is horse s—- !''
That's when Lee is caught on camera intervening and telling Zambrano to shut up.
They had to be separated.
ESPN.com's Rob Neyer sums it all up:
Seems to me that while Zambrano's obviously got some anger issues, the Cubs also have some management issues. Their general manager keeps committing gobs of money to players who can't control their tempers, and their manager just throws up his hands and makes jokes.
None of it matters much, this season. But I'll bet next spring we see an "Under New Management" sign.
Before next spring, probably.
Carlos Zambrano has been suspended indefinitely by the #Cubs. Says GM Jim Hendry: "We'll play with 24 before we tolerate that behavior"
Another tweet from Carrie:
#Cubs Carlos Zambrano has reportedly left US Cellular but not without shouting obscenities at Chicago TV camera crews
Zambrano may have played his final game in a Cubs uniform.
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) – Carlos Quentin's three-run homer in the first inning set Cubs starter Carlos Zambrano into a frenzy, while Jake Peavy and the White Sox continued to roll with a 6-0 decision to reach 10 straight wins for the first time in over 34 years.
The last time the Sox won 10 straight was May 18-26, 1976. They have won 14 of 15 overall, their lone loss in that span coming to the Cubs on June 13 in the finale of a three-game set at Wrigley Field.
Peavy (7-5), fresh off his first shutout since 2005, struck out nine and allowed just three hits and two walks in seven shutout innings. The former National League Cy Young Award winner has won three straight starts, all coming against the Senior Circuit.
Gordon Beckham hit a solo homer and a sacrifice fly for the ChiSox, who improved their major-league best interleague record to 14-2.
Zambrano (3-6), coming off seven innings of one-run ball against the Angels on Sunday, had the shortest outing of his career as a starter, allowing four runs on four hits in a first inning that ended with the volatile right-hander enraged in the dugout.
Carlos Zambrano had a tough first inning in the Cubs-White Sox game and seemed to take it out on teammate Derrek Lee afterward.
Bruce Levine from ESPN Chicago has the report.
Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano had to be separated from teammate Derrek Lee in the visitor's dugout after surrendering four runs to the Chicago White Sox in the bottom of the first inning Friday at U.S. Cellular Field.
It was unclear what upset Zambrano, but his frustration was directed at Lee. The two were face to face before manager Lou Piniella and others intervened.
Tom Gorzelanny replaced Zambrano in the top of the second.
Cubs activate Aramis Ramirez and designate Chad Tracy for assignment ramirez bats fifth today and is at 3rd.
(Sports Network) - It has been over 34 years since the White Sox last won 10 straight games. All they have to do Friday to match that run is claim a victory over the last team to beat them.
Jake Peavy will look to build off his first shutout in nearly five years this afternoon when the Pale Hose play host to their Windy City neighbors, the Cubs, in the opener of a three-game set at U.S. Cellular Field.
Interleague play has helped the White Sox shoot up the American League Central standings. Their current nine-game winning streak, the club's first of that length since June 15-24, 2006, has them just 2 1/2 games back of the first- place Twins and has improved the White Sox record this year versus the NL to 13-2.
The White Sox have also won 13 of their last 14 games, with the lone loss in that span coming to the Cubs on June 13 in the finale of a three-game set at Wrigley Field. That loss snapped the White Sox's five-game winning streak against the Cubs.
The Pale Hose, though, swept Pittsburgh, Washington and Atlanta each in three games after that set with the Cubs, finishing off the Braves with Thursday's 2-0 victory to put themselves into position to win 10 straight for the first time since May 18-26, 1976.
Paul Konerko made his team a winner when he blasted a two-run homer with two outs in the eighth inning to break a scoreless game, while starter Gavin Floyd threw seven innings of two-hit ball in a no-decision.
"It came out of nowhere, we weren't playing great baseball all year. We started playing well against Detroit [from June 8-10] and I think the Cubs series kicked us into gear and we've been off and running since then," Konerko said. "It's not going to last forever, but you just try and ride it out."
The White Sox, who have also won each of their last five home games overall and have bested the Cubs in five of the last six meetings at U.S. Cellular Field, have a collective 2.28 earned run average over their winning streak and Peavy has been a big part of that.
The 2007 NL Cy Young Award winner has won two straight and three of his last four starts, including a three-hit shutout of the Nationals on Saturday. Peavy walked two and struck out seven, retiring 20 straight at one point in his first shutout since Aug. 23, 2005 while with the Padres.
"It doesn't work out often where you get to throw a complete game. And then when you throw a complete game and give up no runs, it just doesn't happen very often in today's world," Peavy said. "Things just worked out today."
The 29-year-old righty kept Washington off the board despite having his start pushed back two days due to a sore right shoulder and improved to 6-5 with a 5.07 ERA. Peavy, though, has a 1.57 ERA over his last three starts and he beat the Cubs on June 11 with seven innings of two-run ball. That improved him to 4-2 lifetime against the Cubs with a 2.72 ERA in nine starts.
The Cubs have lost five of nine since their victory over the White Sox and they narrowly avoided a three-game sweep at the hands of the Mariners with Thursday's 3-2 victory in 13 innings.
Marlon Byrd plated the go-ahead run with a single off Seattle reliever Sean White for just the Cubs' fourth run in the series.
Ted Lilly, who threw eight innings of one-hit ball in a victory over the Floyd and the White Sox on June 13, held the Mariners to a run over six innings.
Carlos Zambrano did not face the White Sox at home in mid-June and is 2-2 with a 3.63 ERA in four starts since being reinserted back into the rotation.
The right-hander bested the Angels his last time out on Sunday, hurling a season-high-tying seven innings of one-run ball. He also struck out seven in the 12-1 triumph that improved him to 3-5 with a 5.10 ERA in 21 games this year, eight of those starts.
"He had better velocity," Piniella said of Zambrano on the Cubs' website. "He had good movement. He used his breaking ball a lot more than the last three games. He used enough split-fingers. The breaking ball came more into play than it had in prior games. He becomes a three-pitch pitcher and can get you out as opposed to [just] throwing fastballs."
In 13 career meetings with the White Sox, 11 of those starts, Zambrano is 5-3 with a 4.56 ERA.
Zambrano may have third baseman Aramis Ramirez backing him up in the field today. Ramirez has been on the disabled list since June 9 due to a left thumb contusion and is batting just .168 in 47 games this year with five homers, 22 RBI and 45 strikeouts.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A long-term treatment facility is expanding to provide living space for homeless veterans.
The City of Hope is helping those who fought for American freedoms, but are now fighting to help keep a roof over their heads.
"My drug of choice was opiates," said veteran Brandon Reed, who has been clean since April 5.
Reed has completed 30-day treatment programs in the past but always seems to regress.
"I'd build a house of cards back up and then knock it back down and I was back in a 30-day treatment starting all over again," Reed said.
But now Reed believes he's in the right place to get the help that he needs.
"Long-term is the key for me."
The expansion at City of Hope in west Louisville will make room for more recovering addicts and military veterans.
"A lot of the programs were full and some of the veterans were getting homeless they were not able to find a place to stay and a lot of those veterans are recovering," said pastor Greg Troutt, who pastors the campus church at City of Hope.
Troutt says everybody is chipping in to make room for the veterans and additional recovering addicts.
"We are doing floors, we are doing drywall, painting up the buildings on the outside, doing the landscaping."
Pastor Troutt says the new building hasn't opened but City of Hope has already opened its doors to the veterans.
"Twenty-five right now is what we are doing; we have veterans now you know signing up weekly but in the end we hope to have anywhere from 50 to 75 beds," Troutt said.
"You know, veterans, I've heard some of their stories in AA meetings and it's just incredible," said Reed, who is looking forward to continuing his recovery alongside veterans who are going through the same thing.
"It almost makes me feel guilty for all of the advantages that I've had in life, and now they're coming back no jobs and very few skills and they're really struggling," Reed said.
The City of Hope is prepared to house the veterans and recovering addicts for up to two years if needed.

CRIME REPORT: Memphis man can't fool pharmacist in alleged prescription drug scheme
A Memphis man who allegedly posed as a doctor to get prescription pills didn't expect a pharmacist to actually know the doctor being imitated, according to a police affidavit.
Police responded to Walgreens at 4155 S. Third, where the pharmacist told officers she was called by a man claiming to be a Memphis-area doctor she knows. The man was calling in a prescription for 60 Lortab pills, according to the affidavit.
The pharmacist knew something was wrong because the man sounded black, but the doctor is Asian, according to the affidavit. She phoned the real doctor soon afterward and confirmed there was an impostor.
The suspect was arrested after trying to pick up the prescription later that day.
Stephen Liggins, 28, was charged with obtaining a controlled substance by fraud, deception or forged prescription.
He told police he was picking up the pills for a friend, and the friend had called pretending to be a doctor, according to the affidavit.
The pharmacist accused of Liggins of trying the same ruse several times in the past.
He is being held in Shelby County Jail without bond.
Memphis man charged in double shooting in Horn Lake
A 20-year-old Memphis man has been charged in a double shooting in Horn Lake that left two teens with non-critical gunshot wounds.
Carey LaShunn Hughes was charged with aggravated assault in the shooting that occurred Wednesday shortly after 6 p.m.
Horn Lake Police Lt. Scott Evans said the incident occurred on Meadowbrook Drive on a bridge. He said less than a dozen teens who ranged in age from 15 to 20, walked past each other on the bridge and they began "mouthing back and forth," Evans said.
The verbal altercation escalated when police allege Hughes took out a gun and began firing.
A 15-year-old boy and an 18-year-old man, who were not identified, were hit by the gunfire. The 15-year-old was shot in the leg and the 18-year-old got hit in the lower back. The 18-year-old was treated and released from the Regional Medical Center at Memphis.The 15-year-old was treated and released from Le Bonheur Children's Hospital.
Hughes was arrested and taken to the DeSoto County jail where he remained Thursday on a $100,000 bond.

For the most part of the episode I was doing something else by side, because the plot just didn't get to me. I actually don't know what to say about it, because it felt really worn out.
And for the final scene... As stated before, this was really a lame exit for Matthew Crawley. Death after childbirth. Didn't we see that before? But I actually thought in a similar direction, when they held their baby and I was thinking: "Where should they go from here? This perfect little boring couple and now their Well, it didn't hit me the same way as it did with Sybil. Her death was excruciating for me.
I really liked Matthew, I will miss him. And I'm really not that sure, if I will anticipate the following season of Downton Abbey. It's just not holding up very well - plotwise.

|Song lyrics
Friday night, you and your boys went out to eat, yeah
Then they hung out
But you came home around three
If six of y'all went out
Then four of you were really cheap
Cause only two of you had dinner
I found your credit card receipt
[chorus 1]
It's not right, but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and leave
Don't you dare come running back to me
It's not right, but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you
Leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy
I'll pack your bags
So you can leave town for a week
The phone rings
And then you look at me
You said, it was one of your friends
Down on 54th St.
So why did 213
Show up on your caller I.D.
[chorus 2]
I've been through all of this before
So how could you think
That I would stand around
And take some more
Things are gonna change
That's why you have to leave
So don't turn around to see my face
There's no more tears left here
For you to see
Was it really worth you going out like that
See I'm moving on
And I refuse to turn back
See all of this time
I thought I had somebody down for me
It turns out
You were making a fool of mee
[chorus 1 to fade]

Framed by lilies, this geisha looks so sweet and innocent.
The two disparate art forms, geisha and stereoscopy, collided when Japanese photographer Nobukuni Enami (known as T. Enami) began taking pictures of 19th-century Japan. Enami was one of his country's most successful photographers, and his images have appeared in millions of bestselling books and magazines.
Featured here is a selection of his fantastic hand-colored geisha stereo views, which offer us a glimpse of a world that, even during the Meiji period, was mysterious and exclusive.
