Possible compromise emerges on border request
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Outlines of a possible compromise over President Barack Obama's $3.7 billion emergency border spending request are emerging on Capitol Hill.
They involve making policy changes to allow the minors streaming to the border from Central America to be sent home more quickly.
The top House and Senate Republicans both said Thursday that they don't want to give the president a blank check and want to see the law changed to speed the children's deportations.
Immigrant advocacy groups and some Democratic lawmakers have opposed such steps. But the top House and Senate Democrats on Thursday left the door open to them.
The White House also has backed such changes, although in face of advocacy opposition it has yet to formally propose them.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
Congressional Republican leaders on Thursday blasted President Barack Obama's emergency spending request for the border crisis, saying Obama caused the problem and now wants Congress to sign off on more of the same.
"We're not giving the president a blank check," said Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, as dispute over how to deal with tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors arriving at the southern border mounted on Capitol Hill. "This is a problem of the president's own making."
Boehner spoke to reporters shortly after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell offered the same criticism on the Senate floor.
"What he appears to be asking for is a blank check - one that would allow him to sustain his current failed policy," said McConnell, R-Ky. "We want to make sure we actually get the right tools to help fix the problem. And that's not what we've seen so far from the president."
The White House defended the request.
"There is a clear and urgent need here," White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters traveling with the president in Texas. "We put forward a very specific line item proposal for what additional resources are needed and how much those resources would cost."
The back-and-forth came a day after Obama, in Dallas, appealed to Congress to act quickly on his $3.7 billion emergency spending request aimed at stemming the growing tide of arrivals from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.
"The only question at this point is why wouldn't the Texas delegation or any of the other Republicans who are concerned about this not want to put this on a fast track and get this on my desk so I can sign it and we can start getting to work?" Obama said after meeting with Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican with presidential ambitions who's harshly criticized Obama over the crisis.
"The problem here is not major disagreement," Obama said. "If they're interested in solving the problem, then this can be solved. If the preference is for politics, then it won't be solved."
Perry, in his own statement following the meeting, made no promises to help Obama shore up GOP support for the supplemental spending package and instead underscored the notion that the border crisis was the result of Obama's "bad public policy" on immigration.
Perry also kept up the pressure on Obama to make a border visit, telling CBS, "that's what presidents do. That's what leaders do. They show up and they interact."
"I'm not interested in photo ops," Obama shot back in response to such criticism. "I'm interested in solving a problem."
Obama was wrapping up his Texas visit Thursday afternoon with an economic speech in Austin, around the same time that his Homeland Security secretary, Jeh Johnson, was to appear before the Senate Appropriations Committee to make the case for the emergency spending request.
The money is intended to add immigration judges, detention facilities, aid for the children and teens arriving here without their parents, and programs to deter people from fleeing the Central American nations where vicious gang violence is driving them north.
Johnson faces a tough sell as Republicans have criticized Obama for asking them for money but not for policy reforms, specifically amending a 2008 law to address human trafficking that's contributed to the problem by guaranteeing court hearings to the arriving youths. In practice that often results in them staying here indefinitely.
The White House says it wants to change that law, but immigration advocates and some Democrats objected, and so far the White House has not put forward those reforms.
Democrats have raised their own questions about how the emergency money would be spent and whether too much of it would go for enforcement, rather than measures to help the children.
More than 57,000 unaccompanied kids have arrived since October even as tens of thousands more have arrived traveling as families, mostly mothers with their children.
Many are trying to reunite with family members and to escape violence, but they also report hearing rumors that once here, they would be allowed to stay. Republicans blame Obama policies aimed at curbing deportations of immigrants brought into the country illegally as children for contributing to those rumors, something Obama administration officials have largely rejected.
The situation has complicated the already rancorous debate over remaking the nation's immigration laws at a moment when Obama has declared legislative efforts to do so dead and announced plans to proceed on his own executive authority to change the flawed system where he can.

hi all, does anyone have an opinion on this? —a top digital company here in the region (asia) is sponsoring a photo contest where they have a section called Rights to Entered Work : —each applicant who owns the relevant entered work hereby grants ___(sponsoring company) a non-exclusive,world wide and perpetual license and the right to use,reproduce,prepare derivative works of, distribute, and publicly display the entered work for the purposes of displaying the entered in exhibitions and this contest,product catalogues,and promotional and marketing literature, all in printed and/or form Did I understand this right?

As I read this, they can take your photo and put it on the cover of the brochure for their new Pro-line printer catalogue without even a photo credit for your work.
I generally don't enter contests that include such language.
It follows that I don't enter many photo contests any more.
If it is only about promoting the photo competition they should not be asking entrants to hand over such extensive rights. No doubt they know what they are doing. Tourism boards often use the trick to build up stock libraries on their area for the price of a contest prize.

Sons of Anarchy Season 5 Episode 1 Quotes
Something happens at around 92 miles an hour - thunder-headers drown out all sound, engine vibrations travels at a heart's rate, field of vision funnels into the immediate and suddenly you're not on the road, you're in it. A part of it. Traffic, scenery, cops - just cardboard cutouts blowing over as you past. Sometimes I forget the rush of that. That's why I love these long runs. All your problems, all the noise, gone. Nothing else to worry about except what's right in front of you. Maybe that's the lesson for me today, to hold on to these simple moments. Appreciate them a little more - there's not many of them left. I don't ever want that for you. Finding things that make you happy shouldn't be so hard. I know you'll face pain, suffering, hard choices, but you can't let the weight of it choke the joy out of your life. No matter what, you have to find the things that love you. Run to them. There's an old saying, 'That what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger' I don't believe that. I think the things that try to kill you make you angry and sad. Strength comes from the good things - your family, your friends, the satisfaction of hard work. Those are the things that'll keep you whole. Those are the things to hold on to when you're broken.

BSE Sensex posts best weekly gain since November
MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex posted its best weekly gain in four months, but closed barely changed on Friday, with investors locking in gains after the recent rally, while the next week was viewed with uncertainty as unrest in the Middle
East continues.
Engineering and construction firm Larsen & Toubro, led the losses. It dropped 3.1 percent, after gaining nearly 10 percent over three previous sessions as traders booked profits.
The 30-share BSE index snapped a four-session winning streak and closed 0.02 percent, or 3.31 points, lower at 18,486.45 points, after rising as much as 1.3 percent earlier.
Sixteen of its components lost ground. It logged a gain of 4.4 percent for the week, its best since early November last year.
"Market is consolidating after the recent rise, triggered after the budget," Vaibhav Sanghavi, director of Ambit Capital, said.
In the annual budget on Monday, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee had forecast the economy would grow 9 percent in 2011/12 beginning April and inflation would ease.
Sanghavi said: "It is very difficult to say, how the market will behave next week. Unless, the situation in the Middle East stabilises, we will continue to see volatile trade."
Situation in Middle East was closely watched after opponents of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi prepared to march in the capital.
"The situation in Libya is changing by the hour. It is too difficult to assess the situation for now," Shankar Char, vice-president and head of sales trading at ICICI Securities.
The BSE main index is down nearly 10 percent so far this year, with foreign funds withdrawing around $2.1 billion up to March 1.
The banking sector index climbed 0.5 percent on hopes an expanding economy will boost demand for loans.
Top lender State Bank of India rose 0.4 percent. Private lender HDFC Bank firmed 1.2 percent, while its bigger rival ICICI Bank bucked the trend and shed 0.1 percent.
Mortgage lender Housing Development Finance Corp climbed 1.6 percent.
Leading outsourcer Tata Consultancy Services shed 1.4 percent, after gaining 3.5 percent in three earlier sessions.
Oil & Natural Gas Corp slipped 0.4 percent after sources told Reuters a share sale in the state-run explorer was likely to be delayed to the first week of April from an earlier launch date of March 15.
The 50-share NSE index or Nifty closed 0.05 percent higher at 5,538.75.
In the broader market, losers outpaced gainers in the ratio of 1.1 to 1, in a volume of 247 million shares, less than 30-day daily average volume of 286 million shares.
World stocks as measured by MSCI were up 0.4 percent by 1059 GMT, while its emerging markets sub-index rose nearly 1 percent.

(55-78, 27-42 home)
Coverage: FSAZ
9:40 PM ET, August 27, 2014
Chase Field, Phoenix, Arizona
PHOENIX -- It's almost September and Clayton Kershaw loaded the bases for the first time all season.
Of course, nobody scored.
Kershaw allowed only an unearned run in eight innings to become the first 16-game winner in the majors, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-1 on Wednesday night.
Kershaw (16-3) allowed six hits, retiring 12 of the final 13 batters he faced, seven by strikeout, to improve to 13-1 in his last 16 starts.
More from ESPN.com
Clayton Kershaw's MVP value is bolstered by the fact that the team's only other candidate who stands a remote chance of entering the MVP discussion, Yasiel Puig, has been so wildly inconsistent, Mark Saxon writes. Story
The left-handed ace struck out 10 and walked two.
Kershaw was unaware he hadn't faced a bases-loaded situation all year.
"I blew that streak I guess," he said.
His teammates didn't know about it either.
"A pretty shocking stat," Scott Van Slyke said, "but not really."
Manager Don Mattingly called it a surprising fact, then added "but nothing surprises me about him anymore."
Kershaw leads the majors in wins despite spending five weeks on the disabled list.
"Wins are a team thing," he said.
Van Slyke hit a solo home run off Wade Miley (7-10) before leaving the game with an ankle injury in the fourth inning. Matt Kemp had a two-run double.
Kenley Janzen pitched a perfect ninth for his 38th save in 42 tries.
The Dodgers, sweeping the two-game series, climbed to a season-high 18 games above .500.
ESPN Baseball Tonight with Buster Olney
Buster Olney and Keith Law discuss yet another dominant outing by Clayton Kershaw. Plus, Wallace Matthews on Derek Jeter's DH duties and Rob Biertempfel on the Pirates.
Kershaw reached double digit strikeouts for the third straight outing and his major league best ERA dropped to 1.73.
"It is kind of hard to describe unless you are up there," Arizona's Mark Trumbo said, "but his heater plays as hard as anyone you will see, even though velocity-wise it isn't as hard. It is everything. It is his curveball when he gets on top of it. It starts way up there and goes way down, but everything is set up by his fastball."
And Kershaw was nowhere near his best, at least early on.
"It was a bad start, really," he said. "I felt guys were on base all night. You know, working in and out of jams, which is never fun to do. But I was fortunate to get some outs when I needed them. After about the fourth or fifth I settled in a little bit and was able to make it to eight."
That bases-loaded situation came with one out in the third, but Aaron Hill popped out and Trumbo struck out.
The Diamondbacks' Ender Inciarte tripled to lead off the fifth, then Kershaw retired the next 11 before Trumbo's two-out single in the eighth. Kershaw ended his night by striking out Alfredo Marte to end the eighth.
Los Angeles scored all three runs in the third.
Kemp doubled in two runs but was out by a considerable margin trying to stretch it to a triple. On Miley's next pitch, Van Slyke homered just over the left field wall. Van Slyke is 8 for 18 with five home runs against Miley this season.
Arizona's Marte doubled down the left field line to lead off the fourth. Jordan Pacheco followed with a single to left. Van Slyke fielded the ball and launched what should have been a routine throw back to the infield.
But he rolled his ankle as he threw, and the ball fluttered away, allowing the unearned run to score.
Mattingly said X-rays were negative and he didn't expect Van Slyke to be out more than a few days.
Hill and Trumbo, the No. 3 and No. 4 hitters in the Arizona lineup, each stranded five runners on base, four of them in scoring position. They were a combined 1-for-8.
"It stinks," Trumbo said.
Van Slyke said the ground gave way beneath his ankle as he planted to throw.
"They've got bad grass here," he said.
Television replays showed that Van Slyke's ankle bent to almost a 45-degree ankle, but he was able to walk off the field.
"That side of my ankle's loose, so I think it will be all right,' he said. "I think it just went further than It normally does."
Kershaw had his only truly bad outing of the season in his last appearance in Arizona. On May 5, he lasted just 1 2/3 innings, allowing a season-worst seven runs in the Diamondbacks' 18-7 rout.
Dodgers: 1B Adrian Gonzalez had the night off with a stiff back. ... LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu, hip strain, pitched a simulated game Wednesday and is expected to rejoin the rotation Sunday or Monday.
Diamondacks: RHP Daniel Hudson, recovering from two Tommy John surgeries, pitched a perfect inning at Triple-A Reno Wednesday night.
Dodgers: Los Angeles has Thursday off before opening a three-game series at San Diego. Dan Haren (11-10, 4.44 ERA) goes for the Dodgers against Andrew Cashner (2-6, 2.43).
Diamondbacks: Arizona is off Thursday before beginning a three-game series against Colorado in a matchup of the teams with the two worst records in the National League.

Publisher's Summary
Shot on location in the Rocky Mountains
Where is God when I need Him?
When we look around at the pain, loss and hurt in our world and even in our own lives, we can't help but wonder, "God, don't you see this? Can't you do something about this? Where are you?:
In these four sessions, Margaret Feinberg uses fresh insights and Biblical teaching to study four verbs that Scripture uses in connection with God. When we understand God's active nature, we realize how God is always active and engaged in our lives. Even when we can't see or feel him, God is constantly on the move and working.
Four video-driven sessions:
Session 1: The Great I AM (15 min.)
Session 2: The God Who Sees (12 min.)
Session 3: The God Who Listens (14 min.)
Session 4: The God Who Calls (14 min.)
Includes a Leader's Guide (52 pages) and 6 Workbooks (32 pages each), in addition to four video-driven sermon illustrations:
- The Divine Element: It is as obvious and essential as the air we breathe. It holds together all that is and all that will be. It bonds with despair to create comfort. It is the one element before time from which all other elements arise. It is the holy, the sacred, and our Creator who is the Divine element.

Hard to Live by Faith: Today many people are stressed due to finances, illness or relationships. We struggle to make sense of our pain. This poignant illustration follows a young mother's honest, yet grateful prayer and encourages us to focus on God's provision.

Where is God?: It is easy to see God's hand in the splendor of a sunset or the glory of a mountaintop. But we wonder where God is when we are in our most difficult times. This uplifting video clip illustrates how God is with us when and where we need Him most.

Are You Listening?: From the moment we arise, we are bombarded with noise. The television blares, sirens wail, children chatter, there's constant commotion at work. And we wonder why we don't hear from God. This probing illustration suggests the need to be still to hear God's call.

Mere mention last week that I'd have more to say about Edward (Ted) and Alice Barnes this week had the postman busy these past few days with several readers providing bits and pieces of information on a couple who, they agreed, should be called 'The First Couple of MCC's Tambaram campus'. Indeed, no sooner work began on Madras Christian College's campus in Tambaram on January 5, 1932, the first building to be raised was a house into which the Barnes' moved in October that year. Barnes Villa , as the bungalow came to be known, was to remain their home till Ted Barnes passed away at the young age of 49 in 1941.
Prof. Barnes joined MCC as Professor of Chemistry in 1919. While in University in Britain during the Great War, he narrowly missed being arrested as "a conscientious objector", being out of his 'digs' when the warrant was brought. A member of the Society of Friends, he and Alice Varley, whom he married in 1930, were to be pacifists all their lives and dedicated Quakers. There may have at the time been no connection between the two events, but it was the year Barnes joined MCC that the College authorities decided they needed to move out of the city to more spacious surroundings and the search began for such space. This became a more formal decision in 1925 when a search committee was appointed. When it was learnt that the Forest Department was abandoning a block of scrub-and-palmyra land in Selaiyur, near the new railway station in Tambaram, the College zeroed in on it and, in April 1927, Ted Barnes was asked to inspect it. The College thereafter applied for 600 acres of this scrub forest and was granted 400 acres by Government on March 15, 1930 together with Rs.16.4 lakh, half of what it had sought for buildings. The fact that Madras had two Prime Ministers that year, Dr. P. Subbaroyan and B. Muniswami Naidu, who were alumni of the College certainly helped.
The first persons to move into the wilderness, the Barnes were to play a major role in transforming it into the tree-shaded, green campus it is today, rich in flora and fauna. Hundreds of species of plants and trees, many of them exotics, were introduced in the campus by them, several supplied by other members of the faculty as well as alumni. The couple nurtured the seedlings in their home and supervised their transplantation. Barnes not only documented all the species in the campus but he wrote profusely about them to international journals. But perhaps his most valuable written contribution was The New Environment: Detailed Description of the Tambaram Site (1937) which detailed "the physical boundaries, nature of water and soil, the kinds of tests done on them, the climatic conditions, the meteorological descriptions, and the wild life of the campus," according to Joshua Kalapati and Ambrose Jeyasekaran in their history of the College.
Even while he worked on greening the campus, Barnes teamed with Henry Schaetti, the Swiss architect, and, it is said, played a signal role in the planning of the lay-out and the buildings that were inaugurated on January 30, 1937. Truly were Ted and Alice Barnes the first curators of the Selaiyur campus.

Patriots' swim title tops year's best sports stories
December 31, 2014
It was another successful year for Issaquah community sports.
Athletes at the three district high schools took home conference titles, state championships and, in Liberty's case, made history in 2014.
Here is a recap of the year's top sports stories, in no particular order:
Game On — Local athlete keeps the competitive edge at every level he plays lacrosse
October 21, 2014
Whether it's coincidence, or a sign of some greater forces at work, the color yellow seems to follow Issaquah High School graduate Kevin Powers.
Powers, 21, donned the navy blue and yellow of the Swedish National Lacrosse team at the 2014 World Lacrosse Championship in July. In high school, Powers was a standout player in the purple and gold of Issaquah. He continued his success in San Rafael, California, where he is in his senior year wearing the — once again — navy blue and yellow of Dominican University.
Skyline Lacrosse wins first league championship
June 17, 2014
The Skyline Spartans Lacrosse Club's seventh-/eighth-grade Green team won the Greater Eastside Lacrosse League championship for the first time May 30, beating Bellevue Blue, 8-5, at Skyline High School.
The Spartans, who feature 16 eighth-graders and three seventh-graders, finished the season with a 13-0 record under coaches Scott Johnston and Gregg Harris.
Local lacrosse players honored
June 10, 2014
The Washington state chapter of U.S. Lacrosse continued to hand out awards as the season came to a close, and the honorees include several local athletes.
Issaquah High School lacrosse players Natalie Undi, Ella McMahan and Eryn Rogers were named to the first-of-its-kind state All-Community team.
The team recognizes the most community-focused boys and girls lacrosse student-athletes in the state of Washington, honoring community stewardship, academic excellence, leadership and creativity.
Issaquah shut out in state lacrosse title match
June 3, 2014
Issaquah lost to Bellevue, which won its third consecutive state championship, on May 31 at Seattle's Memorial Stadium.
The boys Division I game was the first shutout since the state's first boys state lacrosse title game was contested in 1979.
Issaquah had handed the Wolverines one of just two losses in the season April 25.
Athletes named to All-League Lacrosse team
May 27, 2014
Local lacrosse coaches recently selected their 2014 all-conference teams for both boys and girls.
Snoqualmie Conference: Suzy Emerson, Issaquah, junior; Katie Bucy, Skyline, senior; Jordan Hepperle, Issaquah, junior
KingCo Conference First Team: Zach Fritz, Issaquah, senior; Mikey Giannopulos, Issaquah, junior; Matt Thomas, Issaquah, senior; Spencer Noonan, Skyline, senior
Second Team: Charlie Kurtenbach, Skyline, junior; James Nelson, Issaquah, senior; Jordan Dondoyano, Issaquah, sophomore
Honorable Mention: Nate Holbrook, Issaquah, freshman; Andy Hutchings, Skyline, junior
Issaquah girls win state lacrosse title in a thriller
May 20, 2014
Katie Bucy got a second chance and made the most of it, scoring the game winner May 16 with under a minute remaining to give Issaquah an 11-10 victory over Lake Sammamish and its first Washington high school girls state lacrosse championship.
Bucy, a Skyline High School senior who will play next year at Missouri's Lindenwood University, delivered the winner on a free-position shot after a goal just seconds earlier was disallowed on a shooting-space violation.
"That's the biggest goal ever," Bucy said while celebrating with teammates from Skyline, Issaquah and Liberty high schools. "It was hit or miss, and this one was a hit."
The shot beat Lake Sammamish goaltender and Eastlake freshman Kristene Nickel low and to the left, opposite of where she wanted to go with the shot.
Issaquah athletes make regional lacrosse team
April 22, 2014
Two Issaquah girls were named to the 2014 Washington State Under-19 Girls Regional Lacrosse team.
Suzanne Emerson and Jordan Hepperle will join 23 other girls across the state as the team competes at the U.S. Lacrosse Women's National Tournament May 24-25.
Local athletes named to preseason lacrosse lists
March 18, 2014
The following athletes from Skyline, Issaquah and Liberty high schools were name to the 2014 KingCo preseason All-Conference lacrosse teams.
First Team
Mikey Giannopulos, junior, Issaquah; Michael Cowin, senior, Skyline; and Spencer Noonan, senior, Skyline.
Local gymnasts medal at state
March 4, 2014
Only two Issaquah athletes earned medals at the girls state gymnastics finals Feb. 21-22 at the Tacoma Dome Exhibition Hall.
Issaquah High School's Amanda Dumont placed eighth on the bars with a score of 8.4.
Skyline High School's Rikki Uhrich scored a 9.325 on the floor exercise, good enough for a sixth-place finish.

About $100,000 in jewelry was stolen from Rep. Darrell Issa's California home, according to police.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, had an estimated $100,000 worth of jewelry stolen from his home in Vista, Calif., on Nov. 29, according to San Diego County authorities.
Police records indicate more than 50 pieces of jewelry, including rings, bracelets and watches, were taken in the burglary, and authorities have thus far not made any arrests.
Issa is one of the wealthiest members of Congress, having made much of his fortune as the CEO of a company that manufactures automobile security products. A spokesman for Issa said the stolen items were family heirlooms.

Two record-setting dogs pass away
Oh, if these dogs could talk, the stories they'd tell. Chanel, a wire-haired dachshund and the world's oldest dog, and Gibson, a Great Dane and the world's tallest dog, both passed away this summer. Through the years, as Chanel's cataracts worsened and the cold began to affect her, she took after her fashionable namesake, donning tinted goggles and warm sweaters. Guinness World Records officials presented Chanel with a "world's oldest dog" certificate at a posh birthday party in May. Chanel died of natural causes Aug. 28 at her home in Port Jefferson Station, N.Y. Gibson, a Great Dane, was born in Grass Valley, Calif. At his peak size, he stood just over 42 inches tall and measured 7 feet, 1 inch when standing on his hind legs. Gibson showed compassion for people, gaining certifications in therapy dog, wheelchair assistance, and special needs work. Gibson was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in April and died Aug. 7. |

Head To Head: Dravid and Sehwag in Test Cricket - 1
Dravid fans pounced on baiters who poured cold water on their God! In some societies, such acts of blasphemy will lead to War or Self Destruction!
A dispassionate look at their careers
The two are as different as chalk and cheese. One drives a Mercedes and has waded through the milling crowds with humility and grace, can stand honking at traffic jams without fretting and fuming, can breeze on a highway with poise and elan – all this with hardly a scratch on the body. The other drives a Ferrari and believes that he can rule any racing circuit – including the lanes and bylanes of every part of the globe. And has taken body blows on several occassions – only to reemerge as a champion racer.
Instant Coffee versus Filter Coffee - no one has been able to explain or justify the difference in consumer sentiment, feeling and perception till now!
Let's start with analysing the performance of the two in Tests. There are many angles from which we will need to study their performances: 1) Dravid & Sehwag – Career Graphs (Figure 1) 2) Dravid with Sehwag – (Figure 2) 3) The 1st 84 Innings of Dravid and Sehwag (Figure 3)
Perspective 1:
On 3rd Nov 2001 Sehwag started his test cricket career in a blazing fashion with a 105 on debut, Dravid had already completed 84 innings in tests and had scored over 4000 runs. Has Sehwag 'bridged this gap' with his flamboyance?
Interestingly, Dravid's debut was no less spectacular – on 20th June 1996 - with a 95 against England at Lords. Their styles have a stark difference – yet, as we shall discover through a series of posts, there appears to be little or no difference in the value of their contributions to Indian cricket or their special place amongst the elite cricketers of all times.
Fitness and Consistency have been the hallmarks of Dravid's career - a fact reflect in the graph above, for you see virtually no 'gaps' in his long career. On the other hand, Sehwag's infamous form slump during the Grep Chappel era saw him losing his place in tests between May 2007 and Jan 2008 - having been "dropped" for the series against Bangladesh, England, Pakistan and the 1st test of the Kumble led series against Australia.
Perspective 2:
How have Dravid and Sehwag performed during the period they have been together from 03 Nov 2001 onwards?
Figure 2 below says it all"
Aggresion, blitzkreig, some high scores, many good scores and equally many low scores have been the highlights of Sehwag's career. In a little more than half the number of innings Dravid has played, Sehwag has seen more ducks than Dravid. "Hit Out" or "Get Out" has been Sehwag's credo. 84% of his scores of 50+ have resulted in a draw or a win for India.
Artistry, elegance, tenacity, unyielding obstinacy at the crease and many many high scores have been the hallmarks of Dravid's career. 88% of his scores of 50+ have resulted in a draw or win for India.
Perspective 3:
What was Dravid's accomplishments and stature at the time Sehwag arrived? 87 Innings (including 3 Did Not Bat) and 4033 runs. How does Sehwag's look like after 84 innings?
Take a look at figure 3 - and you will see that there is very little to choose between the two in terms of runs scored.
When Sehwag made his test debut, looking at Dravid he must have told himself: "Sir, when I have the same experience and exposure as you have, I hope to match you". He seems to have lived up to that - every word, every run! Their test careers have been as thrilling as a Formula 1 race. And I have no idea how their ODI careers compare! (To be continued)

Latest comments
@dravia yeah.i considered that we can make difference by strike-rate,fours , sixes, in 1st 135 innings.
u can see sehwag will have greater strike-rate, more fours and more sixes.
ha ha ha you itself accepted with mr.ragunath that strike rate and six,fours can be considered to judge the the two...
you are saying i'm complaining with whom?..........
ha ha ha good joke..am i a school boy to go and complain with the school teacher.
don't make a joke..
and i like RCB team but likes sehwag more than dravid.I can post my views here. I have right 2 post comments in favour of any1 or not.u can't stop any1 like this.
I thinks sehwag is better than dravid.that's all.
And yeah sehwag has many more records other than 300 and strike rate.
could you be able understand the nature of test cricket...
will you accept if india wins one test by sehwag's knock and then lose another two test by not anyone saving the test...
i know then again you will say he overshadowed him by his runs and strike rate.....
I'm not complaining to anyone...
i just said your atitude is wrong..
if yousuf pathan scores a very fast hundred in odi's(in future) who knows more than sehwag will you say he is best than sehwag?...
@dravia- U cant understand english? When its so clearly writtn by me n NCP we r not against dravid, i so clearly mentioned i m not disrespecting him n shown full apreciating in 1st paragraph of my blog. Hoping it wil end ur discomfort n there wont be more about this isuue. but u still keep complaining th same thing! grow up man! understand things properly. Where have i talkd just abt strkrate n 300? Didnt read the coment on my blog where i shown proper aggregate comparions? Dravid has playd more so he wil obviously have some higher stats then Sehwag tht u will produce. But the twist is Sehwag is not much lagging behind inspite of many lesser innings. U wil mostly mention about 98 worldcup, Eden garden test, England n Pakistan tour etc etc. So even Sehwag has many such high level facts that overshadow dravid. Put up as much u want to, but dont compare on incidents! produce stats considering their overall career and on aggregate. also considering that Sehwag has played lesser.

The Living Fit Network, set to launch on August 1st, is a community based network of health practitioners and eco-conscious businesses working together to help individuals in their quest for stronger, healthier lives. The network was founded to build a community of support for those practicing holistic and natural lifestyles, and to guide those just beginning their journey.
Educating individuals and families on how to take control over their healthcare and well-being is a topic becoming increasingly more important as the current state of the United States healthcare system grows more distressed. Facilitating education in creative and interesting ways is the primary focus for the developing Network. The partnership with local farmers markets will begin on the First Saturday of every month beginning August 4th at the SoCo Farmers Market in Costa Mesa and the last Sunday of every month at the Newport Beach Farmers Market at Lido Village. The event will consist of children's obstacle courses, whole food scavenger hunts, free health and fitness assessments and table sponsorships focusing on natural health and wellness products.
As Living Fit OC builds with a strong commitment to wellness education, they plan to raise funds for local non-profit organizations with specific initiatives for creating awareness of the National Health Observances. The overall purpose for creating this much needed health and wellness community is to educate and provide access to life changing resources, all while making a significant impact on the way health is viewed within the Orange County communities.
For more information on the Living Fit Network visit www.LivingFitOC.com, or email Brooke Warner at email@example.com.

New York
Things to do in New York
Given New York's size and diversity, just narrowing down your list of things to do in New York may be challenging. See the city like the newcomers did: Start with a harbor tour and then head over to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. The panoramic views from Lady Liberty never cease to be thrilling. Fifth Avenue has the biggest names (and often the biggest prices), so what to do in New York if you don't have limitless funds? Wander the boutiques in Soho and Greenwich Village, and shops in Chinatown, for quirkier and more economical finds. Don't dismiss the outer boroughs, either. Queens has Jackson Heights, which is gaining a large following for great ethnic food, and the Bronx has the famed Bronx Zoo, as well as historical sights such as Edgar Allan Poe Cottage, the author's former home on the Grand Concourse.
Seeing the big museums has always been one of the big things to do in New York—but it can be overwhelming. At the Metropolitan Museum of Art, narrow your visit to a few collections and then take your time with them. Another don't-miss is the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), or smaller museums like the Frick Collection on the Upper East Side.
As a quick side trip from the side—and an alternative to the hyped Hamptons— head to Greenport, on the North Fork in Suffolk County. It has a quaint village or inns and shops, and a fun Maritime festival in September. The Catskills and the Adirondacks offer endless outdoor things to do in New York: hiking trails, cool springs, and plenty of lodges or cabins where you can sit on a quiet porch that feels worlds away from the big city.
Everyone from local blues bands to Jimmy Buffett plays live music at this Amagansett mainstay, which first opened its doors in 1987. The low-key venue can quickly transform from intimate to suffocating during high season weekends with a sprawling line down the block so get there before 9 p.m.
Timberlock resort is a haven for trail rides, canoeing on Indian Lake, and even workshop sessions where kids can help make a birdhouse or decorate picture frames with bark and other woodsy finds.
Members show up regularly for continuing-ed classes or workouts in the 80,000-sq-ft gym, but this is hardly your average community center.
This beloved shop is a necessary stop for book lovers and anyone interested in the glory days of the East Village.
Robin Williams, Conan O'Brien, and Tina Fey have all graced the stage of this heralded 150-seat comedy venue, where shows take place seven nights a week, the tickets are cheap, and there's no drink minimum.
Housing 50 NYC-themed lanes, Bowlmor is part bowling alley, part nightclub. Beyond knocking down pins over drinks, there's also the Stadium Grill Sports Bar and Restaurant, run by celeb chef David Burke.
Since the tiny shop's designs started showing up in photos of starlets and rockers a decade ago, the neighborhood's secret is out but still worth a visit. Here you'll find great dresses that are feminine without being girly, and well-structured without being stiff.
This home décor store is the kind of place you can get lost in for hours. Every inch of space (ceiling included) is overflowing with charming gift-worthy items, such as brightly colored Yves Delorme mohair throws, owl-shaped salt and pepper shakers, and Savon de Marseille soaps.
A summer camp for adults. Straight across the water from Surf Lodge, Ruschmeyer's is a relative newcomer to the scene having opened in 2011.

Add a CommentI LOVED IT! I have this huge thing for fairytale retellings, so this was a really nice treat for me to read.
Loved the story hated the ending, it just stops with no explanation of reason. The twist on the boring version of the Cinderella story was refreshing to read I thought the main character Ash was was gay, which was a rare treat finally in a fairytale for once this felt closer to reality.However then she flirted with the elf. I was like oh OK. But the author never really made it clear who Ash preferred the Huntress or the Elf. So I hope there be another book to continue on a bit more.
Malinda Lo tells a great stroy but she built up too much to end so suddenly. i loved the idea of the book and the book itself but the ending was such a disapointment just because it was so sudden..Also i love how all these people have a problem with the bisexual aspect it cracks me up get over it and if you really thought she was just her friend you either werent paying attention or just cant grasp the idea of two girls together because it says it in the description jesus its 2013 get over it. =)
Though the writing wasn't the best at times, I really enjoyed this story. Not only are the main characters implied to be Chinese, not white, Ash is a bisexual girl who makes her own choices. It had me wondering at some points why other books couldn't be written like this, something slightly more unexpected than the typical Cinderella story.
I agree 100% with Nina_Maria_Francesca. Why take one of the most beloved concepts of romance, aka: Cinderella, and just twist it until it wasn't even the same thing or anything worth reading?
I really wish there were more voices like Lo's in the YA sphere today. If I had had this book when I was growing up.... well. Just take my word for it and read it.
this book was terrible. i hated it. the ending surprised me so much, it destroyed the book. why would someone make such a twisted version of a Cinderella book? i would NEVER recommend this book.
I love the book. It's a nice and interesting twist to a fairytale we all know and love. It makes the story fresh and I couldn't put it down.
Add a SummaryIn the wake of her father's death, Ash is left at the mercy of her cruel stepmother. Consumed with grief, her only joy comes by the light of the dying hearth fire, rereading the fairy tales her mother once told her. In her dreams, someday the fairies will steal her away, as they are said to do. When she meets the dark and dangerous fairy Sidhean, she believes that her wish may be granted.
The day that Ash meets Kaisa, the King's Huntress, her heart begins to change. Instead of chasing fairies, Ash learns to hunt with Kaisa. Though their friendship is as delicate as a new bloom, it reawakens Ash's capacity for love-and her desire to live. But Sidhean has already claimed Ash for his own, and she must make a choice between fairy tale dreams and true love

Sad news today that M. Stanton Evans, newspaper editor, founder of the National Journalism Center, conservative leader and author who wrote ten books, passed away at age 80. In 2006, Stan rewarded the Media Research Center and our audience, at the 2006 MRC Gala and DisHonors Awards, by accepting in jest, on behalf of Rosie O'Donnell, the "I'm Not a Political Genius But I Play One on TV Award."

MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews escalated his rage over Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress, Tuesday, hinting that the Israeli prime minister delivered what amounts to a coup. Appearing on his cable network for analysis, Matthews darkly warned, "This man from a foreign government walked into the United States legislative chamber and tried to take over U.S. foreign policy."

Everyone knows that college campuses are hubs for liberal groupthink and propaganda. But the media never cover the presence of conservative voices on campuses. So MRC Culture asked conservative students at CPAC, "Have you ever been treated differently because you're a conservative on campus?"
The answers we got were not surprising and reveal stories that the media is too biased to report.

In a Tuesday article for National Journal, senior political columnist Ron Fournier blasted Hillary Clinton over the breaking email scandal and even suggested she give up her presidential ambitions: "Perhaps Hillary Rodham Clinton shouldn't run for president....Because she doesn't seem ready for 2016. Like a blast of wintry air in July, the worst of 1990s-style politics is intruding on what needs to be a new millennium campaign: Transparent, inspirational, innovative, and beyond ethical reproach."

What was supposed to be a report on a constitutional battle in Alabama by CNN's Elliott C. McLaughlin quickly transformed into what can only be described as gushing celebration of a triumph over traditional marriage advocates who are stuck living in the past.
McLaughlin begans his piece on CNN.com with the story of a father of a gay man calling his son's wedding "disgusting." He then pours contempt on the father as if he were a Klansman saying, "Disgusting, a word one might use to describe child molesters or a dead opossum in the road, was being applied to a couple of seven years exchanging vows that they'd love and cherish each other forever."

New York's Times republished a Greenpeace press release on the front page of its Sunday, 22nd February edition that attacks Willie Soon of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics for obtaining $1.2 million in funding for his research over the last decade from energy corporations, electric utilities, and charitable foundations related to those companies. The press release, cleverly disguised as an article supposedly written by Times reporters Justin Gillis and John Schwartz, also claims that Dr. Soon did not adequately disclose the sources of his funding in articles published in scientific journals.

In today's speech, Benjamin Netanyahu took a not-so-subtle shot at John Kerry: will the MSM notice? The Israeli PM otherwise went out of his way to be bi-partisan, finding ways to praise President Obama and even Harry Reid.
But Kerry came in for a stinging swipe when Netanyahu said "last year, the same [Iranian foreign minister] Zarif, who charms Western diplomats, laid a wreath at the grave of Imad Mughniyeh. Imad Mughniyeh is the terrorist mastermind who spilled more American blood [at the Beirut Marine barracks bombing] than any other terrorist besides Osama bin Laden. I'd like to see someone ask him a question about that." Wonder just which Western diplomat Bibi had in mind, John? And Netanyahu threw down the gauntlet: do you dare raise the issue with Zarif next time you go for a stroll with him?

Moments after Benjamin Netanyahu finished his speech to Congress on Tuesday, liberal CNN correspondent Christiane Amanpour asserted that Israeli prime minister was hyping the threat of a nuclear Iran, and likened him to a famous movie character: "It was a very dark, Strangelovian speech painting a picture of a really dystopian world, raising the specter...of a genocidal regime spraying nuclear weapons to annihilate the whole world and the whole region."

Seconds after Benjamin Netanyahu ended his speech on Tuesday to Congress, the journalists at MSNBC began attacking it. Chris Matthews appeared and sneered that the Israeli prime minister "never mentioned the real world" in his address. The Hardball host insisted that Iraq was "the war [Netanyahu] talked us into." The journalist berated, "The reason Baghdad is under control of the Shia and under the control of Iran is he pushed that! And he never mentioned that! So, being a hawk all the time takes away some of your credibility, always being a hawk."

In an interview with former Obama White House press secretary and current NBC political analyst Robert Gibbs on Tuesday's Today, co-host Matt Lauer saw big problems for Hillary Clinton in the wake of revelations that she used a private email account during her tenure as secretary of state: "It provides a lay-up, doesn't it Robert, for her critics who say this is all about a lack of transparency as she prepares for a run in 2016, that you can't go back and look at those emails?"

"Victims." "Weak." "Unintelligent." "Hopeless." That's how the left and its media allies portray women, according to young conservatives at CPAC.
The "War on Women" has been debunked many times over, but still the media enjoy taking any opportunity they can to make conservatives look sexist, out-of-touch, and anti-women.

New York magazine's Jonathan Chait argues that "Inhofe's argument was breathtakingly devoid of a factual or logical grasp of its subject matter" and remarks that while "the design of environmental regulation, or the appropriate balance between economic cost and clean air, is a subject on which reasonable people can disagree…the modern Republican party (as opposed to the one of a generation ago) is structurally incapable of reasonable disagreement or calculus. Cranks like Inhofe have veto power."

"Disappointing For Heinlein"
As a big fan of most of Heinlein's work, maybe I just came into this one with expectations a little too high...
By no means were the five stories in this small collection bad, but aside from the first story, none of them really made an impression with me.
Spider Robinson did a pretty damn good job of narrating the book, especially considering that he himself is an author and not an actor. But as I alluded to previously, the content itself just wasn't that great for him to work with.
If you LOVE Heinlein, you might want to add this book to your collection, but otherwise, I would pass on this one.
6.96 / 10.00
"Great Ideas But A Little Repetitive..."
This was a really neat short story by Simak.
The ideas put forward in it are completely original yet very simple as far as sci/fi goes.
Its only problem is Simak's repetitiveness about exactly what is going on during some of the strange parts. Had it been slightly more straight forward, I might have given this a full five stars.
Narration performance is well above average.
Check this one out if you're a fan of sci/fi.
8.46 / 10.00
"So THAT'S What Happened..."
This whole novel was actually based off of Clarke's previous short story, "The Monolith", but obviously VASTLY expanded upon.
As I'm sure is the case with most people, I saw the film 2001: A Space Odyssey BEFORE having the opportunity to read the book.
Let me tell you - it makes a LOT more content within the movie actually make sense.
The opening scene of the movie with the apes and the monolith actually spans the first SIX chapters of this book. That should give you an idea of the amount of material left out of the film which fills in the curious plot gaps.
I don't want to ruin anything by giving more away, but whether you have seen the movie or not, I believe it is your DUTY as a science-fiction fan to read this book. There aren't many modern-day masterpieces anymore, but this would definitely fall under that category.
PS = Also, do yourself a favor and be sure to check out Arthur C Clarke's library of short stories as well. He is truly a master of the medium.
9.31 / 10.00
"An Interesting Conversation About The Universe"
Sometimes, I find myself unsatisfied with Asimov's short stories, but this one was pretty damn good.
This story is simply a conversation between scientist coworkers about life, the universe, its origins, and our place within these constructs.
Asimov goes above and beyond the average sci/fi author with his vast knowledge of everything scientific and philosophical. I actually had to listen to this short, 17-minute story twice before I fully grasped all of the ideas put forward entirely.
Despite it being very heavy on the scientific language used, this is still a great little listen. Definitely worth the 4 or 5 bucks or whatever I paid for it. No regrets.
7.75 / 10.00
"The Single Greatest Short Story I Have Ever Heard"
Although only just under 17 minutes, this story has had a much more lasting effect on me than any novel I have ever read.
Almost like poetry, if any single sentence was cut out from this story, it wouldn't be the same. Its perfection in simplicity is astonishing.
I will never forget this story. I think that says enough.
10.00 / 10.00
"Very Modern Sounding Sci/Fi For 1961"
I've heard this book raved about by a few people before I had the chance to listen to it. Honestly, it was pretty damn good, but I don't really see what all the fuss is about.
I think most readers fall in love with the protagonist. He is a lovable rascal. Everyone loves a rascal.
Narration performance was very good to top it all off.
I would highly recommend the book, but I wouldn't put it on any "Must-Read" lists.
8.62 / 10.00
"Excellent in Small Chunks at a Time"
The performer of this book did his job SO well that it nearly makes the book tough to listen to for periods longer than about a chapter at a time. That is because the story is told by a character who is supposed to be smarmy and unlikable and the book's reader pulled this stunt off to a tee. Bravo.
Aside from that complaint, this book was excellent. I have a special space in my heart for sci-fi that allows for a bit of humor from time to time.
If you are unfamiliar with Heinlein, may I suggest you check out "The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag" first. It will give you a better idea of the writer's style and range.
8.38 / 10.00
"Disappointing For Sheckley"
I'm probably one of Robert Sheckley's biggest fans, but this story was easily one of the weakest of his works.
The idea itself isn't too bad, but the writing just seemed rushed. Definitely not on par with the author's other short stories.
It's almost as if Sheckley was writing this under a strict deadline where he had to finish before he was entirely happy with it. That is, of course, complete conjecture on my part but that's how it comes across.
Skip this one.
5.6 / 10.0
"Very Interesting Take On Human First Contact"
I got into Williamson through his "Humanoids" trilogy of books, and expanded from there. If you have never read his work before, I suggest starting with "With Folded Hands", which is available on Audible in a pair combined with the book's follow-up, "The Humanoids".
This book was a really pleasant surprise to me.
The plot sheds light on both the possible advantages, as well as drawbacks from potential human-alien first contact. How it should be done, where it should be done, why it should be done, and of course, whether it should be done at all.
Williamson's vision of the trans-intergalactic community of species is far different from most writers in the genre. Unlike being set up like an empire, it is more of just a club of sorts. Refreshing take on an old, hashed out premise.
Narration was top quality as well.
Very nice surprise from a book that I had low expectations going into it.
8.48 / 10.00
"The Cold War + ROBOTS!"
This story is set up in a Cold War type scenario about one hundred years in the future.
The two sides have been at a stalemate for the entire century because of the looming threat of mutually assured destruction via thermo-nuclear bombs.
But things take a change when robotics is finally at the point where it can produce a humanoid robot that could pass undetected across the borders. A robot so realistic that it could fool even the experts upon close examination. And what if these robots were programmed to carry out an attack on enemy soil?
8.39 / 10.00

Hi guys, our new Pod order mails the 11th but was told by the rep the official switchover begins at Edgepark on the 15th where when they put order in for new pods that it alerts insulet to send new PDM. We are supposed to be getting the new pods but will have to call Insulet with lot number and get the PDM sent out. I know alot of you already have it but i hope it helps someone.
They held our order until after the 15th, but Im still waiting on the PDM from insulet, glad Im not out of old pods.
When I was going through my fiasco...Insulet told me that the distributors had already given them a list of everyone using the omnipod system, so it seems crazy to me that Insulet has to give edgepark the OK. If the distributors already gave insulet a list of people, seems like they KNOW who needs the new PDM's...
Got mine yesterday. No idea rhyme or reason. I put the pod on the front of my thigh since it's smaller and will fit under pants better. We'll see how it goes. I've been seeing huge rises overnight even before the new pod and i'm in the midst of readjusting basals in a big way. Hoping this doesnt throw everything off too much

Advocacy Briefs: Congressional Action Strengthens Future for Primary Care
.On December 9, Congress passed legislation that averted a 5 percent cut in the 2007 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (SGR) and replaced it with a freeze. Because internists will gain an average of 5 percent in total Medicare payments thanks to the ACP-championed five-year review of the relative values for higher level office visits and other evaluation and management services, most ACP members will actually see a substantial gain in total Medicare payments, not a freeze.
The bill also included the ACP proposal for a medical home demonstration. The medical home pilot program would provide participating internists with a "care coordination fee" for managing the care of patients with multiple chronic conditions. The program would also provide the ability to share in savings from reductions in hospital admissions that may result from physician-directed care coordination. The adoption of the proposal is key to ACP's overall long-term strategy of overhauling Medicare payments to support primary and principal care.
None of this would have been possible without the grassroots support of ACP's Medical Student Members who contributed to over 12,000 e-mails and faxes expressing concern about the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (SGR) sent to Congress via ACP's Legislative Action Center.
