'Extra' Host Maria Menounos on Her Prince Harry Sighting: I Would Have Asked If He Got Any Beer (VIDEO)
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? Extra host Maria Menounos was quite the jet-setter this weekend -- arriving at the Do Something Awards in Santa Monica, Calif. on Sunday after her short trip to Las Vegas, Nev. where she saw Prince Harry.
The stunning brunette took to Twitter on Sunday saying, "Here we are at the pool," as she interviewed singing sensation Jennifer Lopez. Menounos followed with, "and prince harry is here" -- which has been removed from her twitter feed.
So, what's Maria's take on her interaction with Prince Harry in Vegas?
Naturally after seeing that tweet, reporters asked the star about the Royal. What would the Extra host have said if she had a chance to speak with him? "Did you get any beer?" she joked.
Menounos gushed, "It was kind of funny. We were walking down and someone on the team was like 'Oh Prince Harry is here,' and of course we were all dying laughing."
"We're like, 'Of course, he's here," she smirked.
Celebuzz also learned that Menounos likes to interview people more than being interviewed herself -- which makes sense considering that she has made a career out of it.
"I like interviewing better, because I like to be in charge a little more and I like to be in control, so maybe interviewing people better would be more fun."
"Yeah definitely," she later insisted.
Along with celebrities such as House of Lies star Kristen Bell, Twilight's Ashley Greene, and Fashion Police host Kelly Osbourne, Menounos appeared at the even to support and honor the biggest achievements in charity work for 2012.
Watch the video above to see what else Menounos had to say.
The Do Something Awards air Tuesday at 9 PM on VH1.
Below, see what Pretty Little Liars star Brendan Robinson told us at the event.

Dutch defender Karim Rekik insists that he won't return to Manchester City unless he is given a chance in the first team.
The teenager has impressed during his current loan spell at PSV Eindhoven, to such an extent that Louis van Gaal has called him in to his Netherlands squad.
Rekik, who has also spent time on loan in England with Blackburn and Portsmouth, is due to return to the Etihad Stadium this summer.
However, the 19-year-old says that he will not be looking at spending next season at City unless he is under consideration for the first team.
"My main aim is to play for City, but I'll only go back if I have a serious chance of game time," he told Voetbal International.
"I've got a season's experience of Dutch football under my belt, and it would be senseless for me to go back and spend another year sitting on the bench or in the stand.
"I need to be able to play a minimum 20 games for City next season in order to develop as a player and it is an important time for me.
"I will make this clear when I meet them to discuss my progress.
"I have a lot of competition with Vincent Kompany, Martin Demichelis, Joleon Lescott and Matija Nastasic in City's squad.
"If they all stay put, it's best for me to have another year out on loan.
"But Lescott wants to leave and if they let him go and don't replace him, then it will be interesting for me."
Rekik joined City from Feyenoord's academy in 2011.

One week on the Olympic Peninsula
Written by Pamela | 4 Comments
We left on a Sunday and spent 5 nights exploring the Olympic Peninsula. We had sort of intended to spend 7 nights but with Friday being the 4th and all, it was a little not-our-style to be in a packed out campground and the idea of driving home in the soft rain seemed much more appealing than setting up a tent.
Before our trip I did extensive googling on 'exploring the olympic peninsula with toddlers' and 'family activities in the olympic peninsula' and such. The biggest advice I got was DON'T GO ON LONG HIKES and CHECK OUT THE EXCITING MARINE LIFE AT LOW TIDES. Both great advice. And so here is our version of a family camping trip in the Olympic Peninsula.
Our first decision we made was that we were going to do the trip in a clockwise direction. Most advice online suggests doing the trip in a counter-clockwise direction but the dates we wanted to book at Hobuck didn't line up so well if we did the trip that way.
So our first destination was Lake Quinault.
We packed up the car like expert Tetris players (something I find so strangely satisfying) and made a quick stop at Fremont Market for some lunch before making the 3 hour drive all the way to Lake Quinault.
What we packed for Mika
3 books, bubbles, a box of chalk, her blankie and 2 of her tiny dolls (Mimi and Lulu). We also packed the iPad in my bag but to our actual huge surprise, we didn't use the iPad ONCE, until she discovered it by accident on our last day. Somehow she managed the 600 miles or so of driving with just this awesome music CD (found on Spotify) and small talk with her imaginary friends Snake and Monkey.
Lake Quinault is gorgeous. We set up a tent at Falls Creek (no reservation needed) for $20 a night and almost had the entire place to ourselves. The water was swimmable and we cooked some veggies with pasta for dinner and had hot cocoa before sleep.
The next morning we did some little hikes opposite the campground. There are many tiny trails of less than a mile each that you can kind of join together to make your own distance. Mika walked for 1.4 miles of trail and then we carried her for another .6. Super great family spot that was definitely not too busy on a Sunday afternoon.
Our second night we spent at Kalaloch which did NOT live up to the hype. It is one of the only campgrounds in the peninsula where you really need to reserve a site and we managed to grab one a week before we left. The campsites are all on gravel, so it feels sort of like you are tenting in a parking lot. And the ocean view is nice I suppose, but it's pretty windy and once you make it down to the beach it is quite spectacular but not we-should-spend-the-whole-day-here-building-sand-castles sort of lovely, more like this-would-be-a-romantic-windy-wild-beach-walk sort of lovely which, of course, we were not able to really make the most of. So Kalaloch was meh.
For dinner we ate my favourite canned soup and Ivan had chili.
From Kalaloch we drove up the coast to Mora Campground via Ruby Beach which is wow beautiful and perfect for a half-full day excursion with toddlers. We walked to little rock pools and saw huge starfish and beautiful colors.
We stayed at Ruby Beach until we were hungry for lunch. Our next stop: the Hoh Rainforest. The Hoh Rainforest is pretty spectacular and we happened to be there on the hottest day of the week (92F/33C). We hung out in the visitor centre for a while, mainly for the air conditioning, and then set out to do the Hall of Mosses trail. The trail is easy, Mika walked 3/4 of it, but despite the beautiful moss and trees and nature, I was being followed by some nasty stinging flies/bees that would NOT leave me alone. We had left the bug spray in the car so I sort of just swatted and walk/ran most of the trail and felt flustered and hot by the end of it.
Back in the car, we stopped at Forks (Twilight famous) for some supplies and continued to Mora Campground. We found the best camp spot in Loop E (closest to the river) and set up our tent nestled amongst huge trees.
You can't walk to the river because apparently it's moved over the years and so we had to hop back in the car and drive to the beach (4 minutes). The beach was Rialto beach and it is covered in gorgeous drift wood and amazing rocks (not much sand).
We did the hike to the hole in the rock – we strapped Mika in the Ergo with the intention of making it a good-paced trip, but with mistiming the tides and and walking mostly on piles of sinking rocks (not packed sand) it turned out to be about 3.5 hours round trip. The wild coast is so beautiful and towards the end of the walk Mika fell asleep on Ivan's back so the whole thing felt sort of magical.
For dinners at Mora we had hummus sandwiches one night and the best ever easy-to-make bean burgers the next night.
From here we were joined by some friends and we made the 2 hour drive to Hobuck Beach Resort. We had booked a cabin for a night which didn't have ocean views but was a 2 minute stroll to the beach. The vibe of the place is very Indian Reservation as opposed to hot tourist spot and it was definitely one of our favourite places so far. It reminded us a lot of the top of the north island in New Zealand (like a much bigger version of Spirit Bay).
We swam in the ocean, played frisbee and buried the girls. We took our first shower in a week and felt so fancy and clean that we decided to go out for dinner. The sun was low and hot and we drove to Neah Bay and found what seemed to be the only dining spot in town and right on the water. It was almost suitably named Warm House Restaurant.
If you are ever up that way and you get the urge to dine out – DON'T. Steph and I shared a seafood platter and there wasn't anything on our plate that wasn't deep fried in the most repulsive batter you can imagine. The place is really just a small town Denny's or a glorified seafood version of KFC. It's not worth it.
The next morning we drove out to Cape Flattery and told the girls they would need to walk the whole thing. I actually had no idea what the walk would be like or how long it was, but the girls managed marvelously and the trail itself is extremely toddler fun/friendly. The views at the most northwestern point of the contiguous United States aren't overly spectacular, but it's more just the sort of feeling one gets when standing at a point that is the 'most' of anything. (Glorious).
From here we headed back down through Neah Bay and stopped at Pat's Place for some Indian Tacos which is something I WOULD recommend because the place is small and run by Pat herself and the food must be bad for you but is delicious.
And this is where we made the decision to head straight home instead of trying to set up a tent at Lake Crescent. It started raining lightly and we decided we would stop at Sol Duc hot springs so we could swim in the rain and then drive back to Seattle.
Sol Duc Hot Springs is nice but not really the greatest place for a 3 year old. There are 3 small thermal pools, more just like hot tubs, and only one of them allows toddlers. There is also a big non-thermal swimming pool that is 'warm' but definitely not toddler warm and so at 4pm when they closed the toddler-friendly pool for an hour for cleaning/resting, M really had nothing to do. So she and Ivan went inside to get a beer and I swam for another 15 minutes in the colder pool before hopping out.
There is supposedly a lot of great hikes around the hot springs and so I think the ideal thing to do would be to stay in a cabin next to the hot springs, sans toddlers, hike all day and relax in the hot springs in the afternoon before dinner.
So that was the whole trip. Camping with a toddler was, in our case, easy and enjoyable. We had such a good experience and we can't wait to do more. On the way home M asked us when we would go camping again and we told her that we plan to do it as MUCH as possible before her little sibling arrives at the end of summer.
we bought a car.
Written by Pamela | No Comments
We bought a car. It's definitely nothing special, but it is a car. We have managed for 2 years without one and if we are to be honest, the last few months have not so much been 'managing' without one as opposed to spending too much money on alternatives (Uber and car2go) and relying on the kindness of our friends.
And then we went to REI in our new car and spent all the rest of our money that we don't have. And now we are WELL EQUIPPED to explore Washington proper.
a BBQ in south park
Written by Pamela | No Comments
We all squeezed into one car and drove to south park with chips and guacamole and beer and veggies. We sat in the sun and talked and played games and the kids were a little gang and they ran wild. We ate lots of things we don't normally eat, like tamales and marinated meat and birthday cake. And then on the way home our tummies were so full but we discovered a forgotten bag of strawberries and so we found room somehow to eat those too.
marveling and praying
you wake up around 4 or 5am and you creep into our room, sneak into our bed and fall asleep again. and your papa and i think how glad we are to have a king sized bed because EVEN with our giant bed we still end up feeling like there is not much room because we wake up looking like a capital H and you are the middle bit and we are very much at the edge of our mattress.
this morning i woke up at 530am and you and papa were sleeping and i couldn't get back to sleep so i crept out the house and went to yoga. when i came back you were still asleep and so i crawled into bed and you woke up and asked 'where's papa?' i told you he was in the kitchen and asked if you wanted to go see him and have breakfast and you said 'no, let's just cuddle for a little bit'.
today was one of the very good days. a few days ago we had one of the very frustrating days, the sorts of days that i wonder if i'm actually cut out for parenting at all and i have ally mcbeal moments of, well, i probably shouldn't say, but ya know – your little 3 year old brain can be p.r.e.t.t.y annoying sometimes.
lately you've been very very involved with your imaginary play. and i'm sure that it's very good, but is it weird that sometimes i get jealous? i mean, it's actually awesome cause you like to play with your friend 'monkey' and i very rarely need to participate. you're a very good friend to monkey and it makes me feel like we need to have a huge family one day: you LOVE being around your friends and family.
Hanging out with a three year old is nuts. Some of the time you seem totally sane and rational and intelligent. And then within minutes, the same rational girl that was telling me all about sharing with her friends, turns into an INSANE PERSON. And sometimes i actually laugh, because the only other option would be to cry. And despite it all (or because of it all) i love you more and more each day. I love your little dreadlocked hair, naked-all-the-time ('we have trouble getting her to keep her clothes on' your teachers say), grubby, paint-covered body, always-art-making, bear-hugging, kissy, loud-singing, water-loving little self.
At the end of each day, your papa and i always, always marvel at your existence.
And pray that you will sleep through the night.

LiveDeal, Inc. Reports 2012 Second Quarter Financial Results
LiveDeal, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIVE), a provider of web-based local marketing services and related products for small businesses, today reported financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Net loss for the fiscal 2012 second quarter decreased 89%, or $2,055,707, to $258,993 from $2,314,700 reported for the fiscal 2011 second quarter. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in the company's cost of services and general and administrative expenses described below. Gross profit for the fiscal 2012 second quarter increased by $989,711, to $595,093, from a loss of $345,618 reported for the fiscal 2011 second quarter, which is primarily ascribable to the decrease in the company's cost of fulfillment services described below.
Net revenues for the fiscal 2012 second quarter were $821,701, a decrease of $296,464 (27%) from $1,118,165 reported for the fiscal 2011 second quarter. The decrease was primarily attributable to an ongoing pause in the company's sales efforts, which commenced in July 2011, during which time the company has evaluated new sales programs, improved its marketing and fulfillment services, and implemented various cost reductions. The company's cost of services for the fiscal 2012 second quarter was $226,608, a $1,286,175 (85%) decrease from $1,512,783 reported for the fiscal 2011 second quarter. The decrease was primarily ascribable to decreased fulfillment costs as the company took over fulfillment activities from third party vendors and a decline in the number of customers. General and administrative expenses for the fiscal 2012 second quarter were $821,434, a decrease of $789,948 (49%) from $1,611,382 reported for the fiscal 2011 second quarter. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in employee compensation costs, professional fees, depreciation and amortization expenses, and other expenses.
"We are very pleased to report a great improvement this quarter, which demonstrates our continued efforts to reduce costs as we explore various methods to grow revenue," said Jon Isaac, CEO of LiveDeal.

On 28 June 1914 Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and his wife Sophie were assassinated in the Bosnian city of Sarajevo. The fallout from this faraway event would ultimately claim the lives of 18,500 New Zealanders and wound more than 40,000. Places thousands of miles from home with exotic-sounding names such as Gallipoli, Passchendaele and the Somme were forever etched in the national memory during what became known as the Great War.
The war took more than 100,000 New Zealanders overseas, many for the first time. Some anticipated a great adventure but found the reality very different. Being so far from home made these New Zealanders very aware of who they were and where they were from. In battle they were able to compare themselves with men from other nations. Out of this, many have argued, came a sense of a separate identity, and many New Zealand soldiers began to refer to themselves as 'Kiwis'.
A popular and enduring view of the significance of the war on New Zealand society was summed up by a man who participated in it from Gallipoli to France. Ormond Burton went from being a stretcher-bearer at Anzac Cove to a highly decorated infantryman on the Western Front. He believed that 'somewhere between the landing at Anzac and the end of the battle of the Somme, New Zealand very definitely became a nation' [1].
Quick facts and figures
- The total population of New Zealand in 1914 was just over one million.
- In all, more than 120,000 New Zealanders enlisted, and around 103,000 served overseas.
- More than 2200 Maori and around 460 Pacific Islanders served overseas with the New Zealand forces.
- 11 Victoria Crosses were won by soldiers serving with New Zealand forces.
- At least 3370 New Zealanders served in the Australian or British imperial forces, winning a further five Victoria Crosses.
- In all, 550 nurses served with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, and many others enlisted in the United Kingdom.
- Around 18,500 New Zealanders died in or because of the war, and about 41,000 were wounded or fell ill. More than 2700 died at Gallipoli and 12,500 on the Western Front.
- The names of those who died are recorded on approximately 500 civic war memorials throughout New Zealand.
[1] Quote from Ormand Burton's unpublished autobiography 'A rich old man' p138.

Amyris And BASF Reach Agreement For Strain Engineering Collaboration
EMERYVILLE, Calif., April 3, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amyris, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMRS) announced that it is entering into a collaborative research and development agreement with BASF SE (XETRA:BAS). Under the agreement, Amyris will use its strain engineering technology to develop a microorganism capable of producing a target molecule identified by BASF.
" Through this new collaboration, Amyris will seek to develop strains capable of producing a relevant target molecule for BASF, which could help performance and competitiveness with the traditional sources for that molecule. Amyris's synthetic biology and strain engineering technology platform and BASF's capabilities and superior market leadership in the chemicals industry are complementary, and, I believe, our two companies can build on this initial effort to lead the way to innovative renewable chemicals produced through industrial biotechnology," said John Melo, President & CEO of Amyris.
Based on success of the initial development program, the companies expect to collaborate further on a strain development program and consider other joint research and development opportunities. The companies have agreed not to disclose any details of the agreement.About Amyris Amyris is an integrated renewable products company focused on providing sustainable alternatives to a broad range of petroleum-sourced products. Amyris uses its industrial synthetic biology platform to convert plant sugars into a variety of molecules -- flexible building blocks that can be used in a wide range of products.

Amyris is commercializing these products both as No Compromise® renewable ingredients in cosmetics, flavors and fragrances, polymers, lubricants and consumer products, and also as No Compromise renewable diesel and jet fuel.

With Republicans in control of both houses of the Legislature come January, Milwaukee officials are convinced lawmakers will take another stab at ending the city's residency law, perhaps early next year.
For now, few Republicans are talking. But Mayor Tom Barrett, who has fought this battle before, is convinced the law, on the books since 1930, will be challenged.
"I know they are putting together a lobbying effort to repeal the law," he said.
Asked if Republican Gov. Scott Walker had ending the residency law on his to-do list, his spokesman Cullen Werwie said, "Right now, we're focusing on the next state budget and creating jobs."
Residency laws are viewed as a stabilizing force by big cities, especially in an era of so many foreclosures. And Barrett has long been concerned about the impact on property values if city workers flee for the suburbs.
Opponents say the residency law infringes on the freedom to live anywhere. Police officers have been particularly vocal.
Nationally, there have been efforts to stop residency laws. Last month, the Missouri Supreme Court ruled that St. Louis firefighters with seven years on the job can move out of the city. That changed a decades-old rule.
St. Louis city officials said the ruling was an insult, arguing that under existing "home rule," they had the right to set the rules.
So far, members of organized labor - the groups most likely to favor ending residency - have not commented on the possibility of the law being changed. Spokesmen for the Milwaukee Professional Fire Fighters and AFSCME District Council 48 did not return calls seeking comment on the law.
Neither did a spokesman for the Milwaukee Police Association. But the MPA as recently as last year backed a change in the residency rule, noting that it was of great importance to police officers.
"The Milwaukee Police Association is confident that the relaxing of the residency restriction will cause no harm," President Michael Crivello said last year in a report to officers. "Some officers will move beyond the city boundaries while many others will continue to reside in Milwaukee."
So far, Republicans are keeping their cards close to the vest. A spokesman for incoming Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) said Vos would wait for a specific proposal before commenting.
A spokesman for incoming state Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) said Fitzgerald would have no comment.
One legislator who has supported ending residency laws in the past is Sen. Leah Vukmir (R-Wauwatosa). Her aide Jason Booth said Vukmir is reviewing the issue.
The Milwaukee Public Schools has a policy, enacted in 1975, that requires new employees to live within the city within one year of being hired. On Thursday, an MPS committee will consider a plan that would extend that timeline from one year to three years. The proposed policy would affect new employees hired after Jan. 1, 2013.
An MPS paper prepared in support of the policy change notes that while "residency is not a singular barrier to attracting and retaining teachers and/or administrators, it remains a documented contributing factor and MPS cannot afford to lose any highly qualified and talented candidates or existing employees to residency or any reason."


text: Christiane Amanpour Berates Wolf Blitzer for Quoting Russian Officials on Ukraine Print article Send a Tip by Frances Martel 4 Mar 2014 post a comment Coverage of the turmoil in Ukraine got tense last night on CNN, as Christiane Amanpour berated host Wolf Blitzer at the end of a segment for informing viewers of what the Russian take on the new Ukrainian government is. Amanpour warned Blitzer, in the name of the network, to be "really careful" about providing Russian narrative as fact – which Blitzer, apparently, wasn't doing. That information was the claim that the majority of the anti-Russia right wing movement in Ukraine was anti-Semitic. It has been a common claim of pro-Putin activists and the stance that NYU Professor Stephen Cohen took on the program opposite Amanpour that night, but Amanpour appeared to misunderstand Blitzer as agreeing with Cohen. After a lengthy discussion in which Cohen denied that Putin was a "thug" or "is trying to recreate the Soviet Union," Amanpour appeared exhausted of Cohen's passionate support of Putin. Cohen went as far as to call Putin "the most consequential leader of the early twenty-first century" and claim that the "extremism" in the Ukrainian situation resulted from a "small but resolute" group of "crazy fascists" who had installed an "illegitimate" government. Amanpour appeared peeved for most of the segment, denying to Cohen that there was any evidence that the Ukrainian revolution was based entirely around a small cabal of fascists. Amanpour insisted that "the state Russian media is very bad" on the fascist accusations at the moment and that, while the protection of ethnic minorities in Ukraine was pivotal, there was no evidence they were under threat to the extent that Russian agitators are alleging. Toward the end of the conversation, Amanpour suddenly shifted her outrage from Cohen to Blitzer. Blitzer ended the segment by noting that Amanpour was correct to note that Russian state officials were being very rigid in promoting the same talking points, citing the argument before the Security Council by Russia's representative this week in which he claimed that the new Ukrainian government was led by "ultrafascists" and "anti-Semites." Amanpour then proceeded to scold him for agreeing with Russia. "You know, youve got to be really careful putting that across as a fact," she replied to a baffled Blitzer, asking, "Are you saying that the entire pro-European Ukrainian [sic] are anti-Semites?" Blitzer replied matter-of-factly that he was "just pointing out that a Russian official today was saying that," but that did not appear enough for Amanpour, who appeared outraged on behalf of the network. She never quite seemed to understand that Blitzer was not only providing factual information but doing so in a way that corroborated Amanpour's point. The bizarre segment concludes with Amanpour calling for more responsible journalism "as a network" and making the implication that CNN must remain objective on the issue, despite Amanpour's extensive track record of subjectivity on very sensitive human rights topics, from promoting the agenda of Cuban dictator Raúl Castro's daughter to wishing Zimbabwe's lifelong strongman dictator Robert Mugabe a happy birthday.

Uttaramadra division[edit]
Aitareya Brahmana makes first reference to the Madras as Uttaramadras i.e northern Madras and locates them in the trans-Himalayan region as neighbors to the Uttara Kurus. The Uttara Madras, like the Uttara Kurus, are stated to follow the republican constitution. The Uttara Madra country of Aitareya Brahmana is often identified with Bahlika (Bactria).
Madra divisions[edit]
As the name Uttara Madras itself shows, there was yet another Madra group also, which obviously was living to the south of the Uttara Madras (northern Madras). These southern Madras were an offshoot from the Uttaramadras, a bulk of whom, probably under nomadic pressure from north, migrated southwards and settled in Punjab [1]
The post-Vedic, pre-Buddhist Brahmanical literature is overflowing with the names of tribes. The most powerful among them, commanding the greatest respect, in the Madhyadesha (Middle country) was the Kuru/Vatsa-Panchala which incorporated the two families of Kuru and Puru (and the earlier Bhāratas) and of which the Panchalas was a confederation of lesser-known tribes. They occupied the Doab and the Kurukshetra region. In the Prachya or east, the clans of Kasi, Kosala and Magadha predominated. In the north-west or Uttarapatha division, the Kamboja, Gandhara, and the Madra clans were the most important.
Pāṇini's Madras[edit]
Pāṇini documents the Madra janapada as a part of modern Punjab country with capital at Sakala or Sagala, modern Sialkot. Pāṇini mentions two divisions of the Madras in Panjab or Vahika country i.e. the Purva (Eastern) Madras and the Apara (Western) Madras. The Purva-Madra extended from the Ravi to Chenab and the Apara-Madra from Chenab to the Jhelum. Thus, it appears probable that the Madras of Panjab had cultural interaction with Bahlika (Bactria) country, the land of the Uttara Madras. Some verses in the Mahabharata allude to this connection of the Madras with the Uttara Madras.
Madra was Bahika country[edit]
Madra was a part of the Bahika or Vahika country. Some hold that Madra was Vahika country.[2] They held the central parts of Punjab — the region lying between river Chenab and Ravi.[3] In epic period, they occupied the district of Sialkot.[4] Pāṇini does not offer derivation of Bahika but Katyayana derives it from Bahis 'outer edge' with the suffix ikak.[5] This agrees with Mahabharata description of Bahika as the country of five rivers but was where Dharma was weak (dharma-bahya), devoid of religion (nashta-dharma) and impure (aśuchi).[6]
Karna Parva of Mahabharata derives name Bahika from the names of two Pishachas or demons named Bahi and Hika (Bahi + hika = Bahika) living in river Vipasa (Beas). The Bahikas or Vahikas i.e the people of Vahikas are the offspring of those two Pishacas. They are not creatures created by Prajapati.[7]
Variants of Madra[edit]
Variants of Madra are also found as Madrak, Madraka, Bhadra, Bhadraka.[8] It has been pointed out that Bhadras were located on Ghaggar near north-eastern border of Bikaner.
Mahabharata references[edit]
The Mahabharata refers to a king Vyusitashva of the Puru family whose wife Bhadra bore seven sons--, four Madras and three Salvas.[9] This tradition indicates that Salvas and Madras belonged to common stock and there were seven branches of one tribe. But Kasika and Vaijayanti refer to only six branches of the Salvas (and Madras) viz., Udumbras, Tilakhala, Bhulinga, Sardanda, Yugandhara and Madrakara.[10] The above list apparently does not include all the branches of the Salvas and the Madras. Though there is no ancient reference to four branches of the Madras, Dr M. R. Singh has however suggested them to have been as Uttamabhadra, Sravanabhadra, Prabhadra and the Bhadra or Madra themselves.[11] (Variants of Madra are also found as Bhadra, Madraka, Bhadraka and that Bhadraka and Madraka are transferable).[12] Prabhadraka as an attribute has been used for the Parama-Kambojas section who had sided with the Pandavas in the Kurukshetra war against the Kauravas.[13]
The Uttamabhadras lived in Punjab, the Bhadrakas in modern Bhadra and Sravanabhadras are believed to have migrated from Kanyuakubja and settled in Malwa.[14] Uttamabhadras originally were people of Balkh who had entered India in Vedic times. In Vedic times, they were closely related to Kurus and the Purus. In Kurukshetra war, we also find Madras associated with the Kurus.[15] King Shalya had taken part in the Mahabharata war, on behalf of the Kauravas.
Madri, the wife of Pandu king of Hastinapur and the mother of Pandava-putras Nakula and Sahadeva, was a Madra princess daughter of the king of Madra. Madri has also been referred to as Bahliki i.e princess of Bahlika janapada/tribe and king Salya has been referred to as Bahlika-pungava i.e foremost among the Bahlikas. Epic also refers to king Ashvapati of Madra, the beloved of the Paura Janapadas, who was father of Savitri. King Vyusitashva was a descendant of Puru a famous king of Rigvedic times.[16]
These references obviously connect the Vahika Madras to Bahlika i.e Bactria Madras i.e the Vedic Uttara-Madras or Uttamabhadras, which is known to have been the earliest settlement of the Madra people. It is also seen from the above references that initially Mahabharata had really high opinion of the Madras. But later, this view was changed since there are several later epic references where the Madras have been severely downgraded. Every possible ill word has been spoken against them.
In Karna Parva of Mahabharata, Karna specifically directs his wrath against Shalya who was from Madra, and ridicules the region he was from. Karna calls the Madra men and women as "scum" of humanity.[17] See link.[18]
Adi Parava of Mahabharata says that Madra princes had attended Draupadi's self-choice (Swayamvara) ceremony along with the other princes of neighbouring kingdoms from northwest. Thus prince Shalya, the king of Madra Kingdom, with his son, the heroic Rukmangada, Rukmaratha, Somadatta (king of Bahlika Kingdom) of the Kuru race with his three sons - Bhuri, Bhurisrava, and Sala and Sudakshina Kamboja the arch-bowman (dridhadhanva) of the Puru race [19][20] had participated in the Draupidi swayamvara[21] See Ganguli's Trans: [4].
Karna had fought with and vanquished the Madrakas, Kekayas, Kambojas, Avantis, Gandharas, Matsyas, Trigartas, Tanganas, Sakas, Panchalas, Videhas, Kulindas, Kasi, Kosalas, Suhma, Anga, Vanga, Nishada, Kalinga Taralas, Asmakas, Rishikas, Mlechchas and forest dwellers etc.[22]
Madra king Shalya, came with an Akshouhini of troops to join the army of Pandavas, since youngest Pandavas, the twins Nakula and Sahadeva, were his nephews. It is stated that his troops marched slowly on every day from Madra (Punjab province of Pakistan) to Upaplavya (somewhere in the border of Rajasthan and Hariyana), the Matsya city, where the Pandavas were camped. When his army reached Kurujangala (the kingdom of the Pandavas, the modern-day Hariyana), Duryodhana's men shrewdly intercepted the army. Without revealing their identity, they received Shalya and his men, made tents for them and refreshed them with all the comforts. By the time the truth surfaced, Shalya had already become indebted to battle for Duryodhana's sake. Madra army had battled along with other armies of north-west including the Trigartas, the Kekeyas, the Gandharas, the Kambojas, the Yavanas, the Shakas, Tusharas, Khasas and Daradas (all these latter six armies had fought under General Sudakshina Kamboja),[23] the Sindhus, the Sauviras, the Amvasthas etc. King Shalya was the last Generalismo of the Kaurava army and was slain by Yudhisthira on the last day of the Kurukshetra war.
Bhagavata Purana and the Madras[edit]
Bhagvatam Purana attests that the prince of Madra along with princes from Matsya, Usinara, Kosala, Vidharbha, Kuru, Srnjaya, Kamboja, Kekaya, Kunti, Anarta, Kerala was present at Samanta-pancaka at the occasion of the solar eclipse.[24] [5]
Valmiki Ramayana on the Madras[edit]
Kishkindha Kanda of Valmiki Ramayana says that Sugriva had sent his persons to search Sita in various lands of the Uttarapatha including the Madras. Thus, Sugriva directs his detectives to search Sita in the countries of the Mlecchas, the Pulindas, the Shurashenas, the Prasthalas, the Bharatas, the Kurus, the Madrakas, the Kambojas, the Yavanas along with the countries of the Shakas and the Paradas and also the Himalayas.[25]
Kautilya Arthashasta on the Madras[edit]
Fourth century BCE Arthashastra of Kautiliya refers to the Madras as following republican constitution. It refers to Licchivika, Vrjika, Mallaka, Madraka, Kukura, Kuru, and Panchala etc and labels them as Raja-shabd-opajivin class (i.e living by the title of Raja) while referring to the Kshatriya Shrenis (warrior-bands) of the Kambojas and Surashtras it styles them as varta-shastr-opajivin class (i.e. living by the profession of arms and varta).[26][27]
Madras in Puranic literature[edit]
Vishnu Purana mentions the Madra along with Arama, Parasika and others.[28] In Matsya Purana, the Madras find mention with Gandharas, Yavanas and others.[29] In the same Purana, a reference is also made to king Asvapati of Sakala in the country of Madra.[30]
Matrimonial customs of the Madras[edit]
Mahabharata attests that it was a custom among the Madras to give their daughters in marriage on taking a fee (shulka). This was their family custom. Pandu, the Kuru prince had also to pay fee for marrying Madri, the princess from Madra.[31]
Madra princesses were favored[edit]
The beauty of Madra women, like those others from the northwest including the Kamboja, Uttarakuru was proverbial. Buddhist literature calls Madra-Desha as the store-house of beautiful ladies (maddaratham nama itthagaro).[32][33] The Madra women are characterized as "white" in the Mahabharata (VIII).[34] Buddhist Jatakas bear ample tesimony that Madra princesses were sought after in marriage by the great Kshatriya houses of northern and western India. Sumangala-Vilasini attests that the wife of a Chakravarti comes either from Uttarakuru or from Madda (Madra) and Uttaramadra.[35] Bhadra, wife of Kalpana of Pippali Manavaka was a beautiful maiden from Madra. Pabhavati, a beautiful princess of Madra was married to prince Kusa, son of Okkaka, of Ikshvaku royal family of Benares.[36] Even a prince of royal house of Kalinga in the far east sought the hand of a princess of Madra country as is attested by Kalinga Bodhi Jataka.[37] Chandata Jataka also attests that the royal houses of Madra and Benares were allied with each other through matrimony. According to Mahavamsa, on the death of Sihabahu of Sinhapura (Lala Rattha = Lata Rashtra = Latadesa = Gujarat), his son Summita became king of Lata. He married a Madra princess by whom he had three sons.[38] Khema, one of the three queens of Bimbisara (reign 544-491 BCE), the ruler of the Magadha from the Haryanka dynasty was also a princess from the Madra clan. And of course, princess Madri, sister of king Shalya of Madra was also married to Pandu, the Kuru prince of Hastinapur.[31]
Uttaramadra-Uttarakuru-Parama Kamboja connections[edit]
Vamsa Brahamana[39] of the Sama Veda refers to one Rsi Madragara Shaungayani as the teacher of Aupamanyava Kamboja. As the name itself suggests, and as the scholars have rightly stated, Rsi Madragara Shaungayani belonged to Madra tribe.[40] Dr Keith and Dr Macdonnel, the authors of Vedic Index, as also Dr H Zimmer and numerous other scholars postulate a possible connection between the Madras i.e. the Uttaramadras and the Trans-Hindukush Kambojas.[41] Dr Jain also observes: "Kamboja Aupamanyava, pupil of Madragara, is mentioned in the Vamsa Brahmana. This points to a possible relationship of the Madras or more probably of the Uttaramasdras with the Kambojas, who probably had Indian as well as Iranian affinities".[42] Since both these people were a very close neighbors in the north-western part of ancient India, such connections were but natural.[43] According to Dr Jean Przylusky, the Bahlika (Balkh) was a settlement of the Madras who were known as Bahlika-Uttaramadras.[44]
In his Harsha-Carita, Sanskrit scholar Bana Bhatta, the court poet of king Harsha Vardhana of Thanesar makes reference to the horses from Kamboja. And the Commentator on Harsha-Carita in his commentary reveals to us that KAMBOJAH BAHLIKA DESAJAH, i.e the Kambojas belonged to/originated from Bahlika-desa (Bactria in north Afghanistan).[45] Furthermore, The Yasastilaka, a Jaina work, one of the best known champus in Sanskrit, composed by Somadeva Suri (959 A. D.) too identifies ancient Kamboja with Bahlika-desa.[46] This ancient evidence indicates that Bahlika (Bactria) (the land of Madras i.e the Uttaramadras) or its eastern parts may have formed parts of ancient Kamboja, and that both these people were a close neighbors and possibly of an allied stock. According to Nanimadhab Chaudhuri, the Kambojas who were settled to the north-west of the Indus were connected with the Madras and they were probably a branch of the Uttaramadras.[47]
Atharvaveda-Parisita also juxtaposes the Kambojas with the Bahlikas (i.e ..Madras..).[48]
Mahabharata also closely allies the Bahlikas and the Kambojas and further places them in alliance with Transoxiana Sakas.[49]
Valmiki Ramayana also mentions the Kamboja and the Bahlika in the same breath.[50]
Aitareya Brahmana refers to the nations of Uttarapatha (northwest) and mentions the Uttaramadras and Uttarakurus as the tribes following a vairajiya (kingless) constitution. The same text also tells us that these nations lay beyond the Himalaya (i.e Parena himavantam) [51] where Himalaya here is said to refer to Pamirs/Hindukush ranges.[52] It has been pointed out that the list of the northwestern nations referred to in the Aitreya Brahmana is illustrative only and, by no means, exhaustive since it does not mention other clans of the Trans-Himalayans like the Kambojas (i.e. Parama Kambojas)/Rishikas etc who also had followed kingless (republican) constitution and also were located beyond Himalayan.[53] It is also possible that the Kambojas may have been considered a part of the Uttaramadras/or the Uttarakurus and therefore, not mentioned separately in the Aitareya Brahmana list.
The foregoing discussion suggests that in the remote antiquity (Vedic age), a settlement of the Madras was located in Bahlika (Bactria)--the western parts of the Oxus country. These Madras were, in fact, the Uttaramadras of the Aitareya Brahmana (VIII/14).[54] This also indicates that there was a very close affinity between the Uttaramadras, Uttarakurus and the Parama Kambojas--- all lying beyond the Himavantan i.e beyond Pamirs/Hindukush ranges. However, in the 4th century BC, this Bahlika/Bactria came under Yavana/Greek political control and thus the land started to be referenced as Bahlika-Yavana in some of ancient Sanskrit texts.[55]
Origin of Madras: traditional accounts[edit]
According to another traditional account preserved in the Puranas and Mahabharata etc, king Yayati, the great grandson of Prurvasa Aila had five sons viz.: Yadu, Turvasa, Anu, Druhyu and Puru. Pruravasa Aila was, in turn, the grandson of Vaivasta Manu, the mythological ancestor of all royal families of the Indian traditions. The Lunar line of Kshatriya families of Indian traditions are believed to have originated from this Pruravasa Aila.
These Puranic accounts indicate that the Madras, Usinaras and Kekayas were the direct descendants of Yayati's son Anu.[56][57]
Other scholars maintain that the Madras and other clans like Angas, Kalingas, Sauviras, Kambojas, Sindhus and the Gandharas were offshoots of the Anu tribe of the Rigveda.[58]
Researchers like Dr J. L. Kamboj, on the other hand, infer that the Kambojas, Gandharas and some other tribes of northwest (including the Madras) may have descended from the Druhyu tribe of the Rigveda.[59]
Broadly speaking, these ancient traditions indicate that Anu was the author of Anu clan (Anavas), Yadu of the Yadava clan, Turvasa of the Yavana and Turushaka clans, Puru of the Paurava/Kaurava clans and Druhyu of the clans like the Gandharas and other frontier clans of the north-west like Kambojas, Madras etc.
However, it is very difficult to speak with confidence about these traditional accounts.
Maukharis descent from the Madras?[edit]
The Maukhari dynasty which ruled in the 5th century CE in the neighborhood of Gaya (Bihar) claims their descent from king Asvapati of Sakala of Madra country of central Punjab in northwest India. Their name is also referred to by Pāṇini in his Ashtadhyayi. There is a seal belonging to Maukhari family of the Mauryan period. An inscription dated 239 CE found in Kotah state refers to a military General from Maukhari family. There are four inscriptions engraved on stone yupas which show indicates there were many Maukhari families in Rajasthan in 3rd century CE.[60] It is therefore possible that the Maukharis were a clan of the Madras; and like the Kambojas, they may also have been migrating and widely spreading over northern India.
Madras pay taxes to the Guptas[edit]
The Madras and several other republics of northern and north-western India including the Arjunayans, Sivis, Malavas, Kunindas, Kulutas, Audumbras, Kambojas, Yaudheyas etc were vanquished, subjugated or else destroyed by the Gupta rulers (4th century CE). There is evidence of Madras paying taxes to Gupta king Samudragupta, as we learn from the fact that latter's imperious commands were fully gratified by the Madras and others giving all kinds of taxes and obeying his orders and coming to perform obeisance.[61]
Madra and the Pala dynasty of Bengal[edit]
It appears that the kingdom of Madra continued till the 9th century when we find the Madras as the allies of Dharmapala (770-810) of the Pala Dynasty of Bengal who, with the connivance of the Madras and other northern powers, had dethroned Indraraja of Kanauja and placed Chakrayudha on the throne.[62] It is also held by some that Dharmapala had seized the lands of Bhoja, Matsya, Madra, Kuru, Yadu, Yavana, Avanti, Gandhara, and Kira. It is interesting to note that there is no mention of the Kambojas in the above list of the north-west kingdoms, but it seems that the term Gandhara itself included the Kamboja as well. This is because little later, king Devapala (810—850), son of Dharmapala, had an encounter with the Hunas in north and then with the Kambojas in the north-west as is amply attested by the Monghyr Charter of Devapala.[63] Benjamin Walker writes: "Like their neighbours the Kambojas, the Madra people also migrated through the Gangetic plain towards Bengal, and we find them in the ninth century as allies of the Pala kings of Bengal (Vol I, p 59).[64]
Madras vs Medes[edit]
Many scholars also identify the Medes (Madai) as a branch of the Madra tribes,[65] while some identify Media (Medes) with Uttaramadra referenced in the Aitreya Brahamana.[66] Similarly, the Persian Achamenedae are also believed to be an offshoot from the Scythianised Kuru-Kamboja hordes, who outpoured from Kambysene of ancient Armenia.[67][68][69][70]
Madras at present[edit]
A gotra of North India claiming descent from the ancient Madras is found in various form of Med/Mair Rajputs.

- ^ "....The caste observances were so slack in the frontiers that the Brahmanical literature began to look upon the Madra, Gandhara and Kamboja peoples as loose-lived and barbaric. As compared to the rigid four-class social system of Madhyadesa, these tribes of the frontiers followed two social classes and further there was permissible vertical mobility.... The women were treated equal to men and there was no taboo of social mixing among the two sexes. Both sexes ate meat, drank strong liquor and there would be mixed public dancing in a state of undress. Such way of life was positively obscene to the eastern Brahmin eyes. The custom of bride price among the Madras (instead of dowry) appeared degrading to the easterners. Nevertheless, the beauty, the loving nature and utter fidelity of the women of the north-west including Madra, Bahlika remained proverbial (e.g: Immortal Love Legend of Savitri & Satyavan. Savitri was the daughter of Asvapati, king of Madra tribe). A warrior's widow in these regions would even immolate herself with her husband's corpse. The horrifying custom of Sati was completely unknown in the east until as late as 6th century AD. ... Compared to the above feeling of the easterners towards the westerners, there are, unfortunately, no surviving records which tell us as to just what the westerners thought of the snobishly exclusive and yet rather countrified accolytes of the east; but it is known that the more enterprising low-caste youths from the east could travel to the west, acquire the brahmin's bag of tricks and ultimately pass themselves off as brahmins. No attention was paid by their learned frontier teachers to caste limits upon occupation.." (See: Mobile Men: Limits to Social Change in Urban Punjab - 1976, p 3, Satish Saberwal; The Culture and Civilization of Ancient India in Historical Outline, p 119, D. D. Kosambi. See the link: - [1]). Obviously, it were such Brahmins who had later passed judgements as above on the non-puritanic way of lives of the frontier westerners.

- ^ As per Mahabharata translation by Ganguli, the epic styles Sudakshina Kamboj as belonging to the Kuru/Puru race. This reference, if true, apparently connects the tribal Kambojas with broader Puru/Kuru race. Thus, the Kambojas may appear to have been an off-shoot from the Kurus/Purus and later-on, under an eponymous chieftain called Kamboja, they had established for themselves a distinct royal family, separate from the Kurus. There is indeed an evidence to this chieftain (called Kamboja) in the Shanti Parva of Mahabharata (MBH 12.167.76). See link: Mahabharata Sword
- ^ The Gorakhpore recension of Mahabharata styles Sudakshina Kamboj as of Puru race, but the Poona Critical Edition styles him as of Kuru race. But this does not make any difference since the Kurus and Purus are ethnically connected and come from the same original racial stock.

- ^ The Indian Historical Quarterly, 1963, p 131; Literary History of Ancient India in Relation to Its Racial and Linguistic Affiliations, 1952, p 11, Dr Chandra Chakraberty.
- ^ Dr Chandra Chakravarty regards the Kambojas as a branch of the Scythian Kambysene from ancient Armenia (See: Literary History of Ancient India in Relation to Its Racial and Linguistic Affiliations, 1952, p 165,149, 37). Dr Chakravarty further regards the Achaemenids as outcome of the Scythian Kuru-Kamboja mixture with the Alpine Puru-Khattis (Parsa Xsayatia)). The Kambysene Scythians (Kuru-Kambojas), mixed with other Caspian Sakas, invaded Persia several centuries prior to Christian era and got mixed with the Alpine Parsa Xsayathya (Puru-Khattis) settled in Susa, thus giving rise to the well known Achaemenidae (See: Racial History of India, p 158; Literary History of Ancient India in Relation to Its Racial and Linguistic Affiliations, 1952, p 11/37/148, 165; Paradise of Gods, 1966, p 330, prof Qamarud Din Ahmed). But according to other view, the Kambojas probably moved from Bactria to north-west Iran and then to its south-west under circumstances and time-frame still unknown to history.
- ^ Dr Michael Witzel wrote somewhere: 'The Old Persian -s-(as in < asa 'horse') <*śś <śv <c'v <Indo-European k'w, shares the development of Indo-Iranian c'v > śś with Saka -śś-, while the rest of Iranian has -sp- (aspa) and Vedic has -śv- (Aśva). This feature and others (cf. further grammatical features in Witzel 1989, Ch 10) may point to an ultimately north-eastern (Bactria?) rather than north-western (Urartu/Median) origin of the Old Persian and thus to a track of immigration from the North-east via Media to the Persis, somewhat like Nichols' (1997-98) 'southern trajectory'. A North-eastern origin would be close to the location of the Vedic Parśu.
- ^ If the Madras were Medes as some modern scholars have suggested, then the Achaemenidae/Parśus may have been an off-shoot from the Bahlika-Kambojas or vice-versa. Seeing close connections of the Kambojas (Parama-Kambojas), the Madras (Bahlika-Madras or Uttaramadras) and the Kurus (Uttarakurus) which tribes were all located in/around Oxus in Central Asia in remote antiquity, it can be thought that the Kurus, the Kambojas and the Parśus were a related people. This may also prove as to why the great kings of Achaemenid Parśu dynasty have used names like Kurush (Greek Cyrus) and Kambujiya or perhaps Kambaujiya (Greek Cambyses) as their personal names. (See Cambyses, Kamboj, Kamboja Kingdom and Kambojas).
- ^ James Hope Moulton writes: "The names Kuru and Kamboja are of disputed etymology, but there is no reason whatever to doubt their being Aryan. I do not think there has been any suggestion more attractive than that made long ago by Spiegel (Altpers. Keilinsch.'-, 96) that they attach themselves to Sanskrit Kura and Kamboja, originally Aryan heroes of the fable, whose names were naturally revived in a royal house. Spiegel thinks that the myths about Cyrus may have originated in confusion between the historical and the mythical heroes. (Kamboja is a geographical name, and so is Kuru often: hence their appearance in Iranian similarly to-day as Kur and Kamoj)" (Early Zoroastrianism, 2005, Page 45, James Hope Moulton - Kessinger Publishing).

BMW 335d will be released in November as 2009 model
Rest easy, torque-lovers, BMW will be releasing the diesel version of its uber-popular 3 Series sedan in the United States later this year, exactly on schedule. Because it's so late in the year, the Bavarian automaker will be labeling it as a 2009 model, leading some to believe that the 335d was not going to be coming until next year. Not so, according to BMW spokesman Tom Plucinsky, who confirmed to KickingTires that both the 335d and the X5 35d will be making it Stateside sometime in November after production begins in September.
Both upcoming diesel models from BMW will use a 3.0-liter twin turbo oil-burner rated at 265hp and 425 lb-ft of torque. That's plenty of stump-pulling torque, but the best news could be the expected fuel mileage of 23 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway when paired with the six speed automatic.
