One of my favorite responses from the people who attend Creation is from the Pastors and youth leaders who bring a group. I love to hear the cheering crowds, but when a pastor tells me how his young people were touched by Christ, that just thrills me! As a pastor I know how important it is to reach young peoplesuch testimonials always bless me. Statistics say that the church worldwide is loosing young people. That's hard to believe when you see thousands young people praising God and many streaming forward to the Prayer Tent during the altar call. We do not have to loose our young people. Instead I believe we need to embrace them with the truth and the love of Christ and His claims for their lives. We need to let them know they are not alone in their faith. Since 1979, Creation strived to never miss an opportunity to preach the glorious gospel of Christ. Never missing the precious moment to invite people to receive Christ as Savior and Lord. You would think I would take it for granted when thousands come forward for prayer year after year, but that could not be further from the truth. Every time with tears in my eyes I feel the Lord say "this is what Creation is all about." What could be better than to come to Creation and become a "new creation."in Christ. Creation Festival experience is how the Word of God is not a side-issue. It has always been front and center! We all know that a lot of things can fade away but the Word of God endures forever and never goes forth without returning with a harvest. your church and youth group will experience the ripple effect of young people serving the Master. I have seen it in the church I pastor and I know it to be true by the hundreds of testimonies of youth leaders and pastors. Creation is an awesome responsibility that we take seriously under God's guidance. We need you to be praying and standing with us as we seek to reach generations for Christ. We are here to serve your church and your youth. This is not a "gig" for us it is a divine appointment and we are expecting God to move among us. I stand by this promise in Psalm 71:18 "And even when {I am} old and gray, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Thy strength to {this} generation, Thy power to all who are to come."

CE EN I ER E EXP TH OUR Y ION EAT CR TORY S s! ia Kid ylvan enns and P tville is Ne This Last summer my life was changed drastically. This change was due to Creation Fest Northeast 2011, which is the largest Christian music festival in North America. Creation was more or less a "Christian Woodstock". Over 100,000 Christians gathered to a farm in the middle of no-where to listen to today's best music and listen to a couple speakers each night. Sounds a lot like Woodstock, right? The answer is yes but only to a degree are these two the same. Creation Fest had a major impact on my life because for once my eyes were opened! Every day we had our morning talk, followed by a couple of hours to go to a couple different stages to listen to a distinct group of bands. After the mid-day talk and a couple more hours of music, we gathered back to the main stage where we had the nights "main act" and a final talk which was special every night. The night that opened my eyes the most was the second to last night where we gathered around 11:30 PM and lit candles. When you looked up to the crowd of people, you saw an ocean of light. It was a very emotional night to say the least. Whereever you looked, you saw candles lit. During this time we prayed, sang together, and talked to one another. That night was the best night of my life because of the time spent together with every single one of those people. I would not be me if I had not experienced that night. Because of this experience, I have had the chance to connect with a distinct group of people, my youth group. I opened up more as a person. Also I have started being a leader to some people within this group to those who are having troubles in school work. - Bronson Pelfrey I have been to Creation 5 times. This summer is going to be my 6th time going. I love it so much. Every time I go it is different. The very first time I saw Family Force 5 I was shocked. I have never heard anything like them; they are now one of my favorite bands. The first time I saw Hawk Nelson I was blown away. My name is in one of their songs. It made my day when I heard them sing `Hello'. I can't stop talking about Creation. Every year I look forward to going. I can't wait until this year I am counting down the days. I think that everyone should go because it is amazing. - Madeline Staples The Porta-Potty Picture! I started going to Creation Northeast at the age of 3. I have seen many bands through that period of time. Creation has helped me come closer to God. My family and I have very good memories about going there. I plan on taking my cousin when she turns 12 years old. - Bethany Me and KJ52 at Creation 2011 Force 5 om Family apstique fr Me and Ch 2010 at Creation Me and Noah Toby Mac drum mer and me CREATIONFEST.COM/Y OURSTORY 4 The following are YOU R personal stories of sp iritual growth and tran from Creation Festival sformation s to the WORLD! Creation Festivals eMag featuring YOU! Creation Northeast 2011 was my very first Creation, and I got to bring my best friend Lisah wish made the experience much more fun. I met so many new friends and developed my faith so much. I give so much thanks to the staff and the people at the prayer tent for helping me through, because my mother works for AAFES, which helps the army in Afghanistan, and it was hard because that day she was leaving. I could see her before she left because I was at Creation, but the people there were so kind and I then felt better. Creationfest has always been something huge that I've always wanted to be a part of, my first time going was when I was 13, I only bought tickets for one day so I could see one band, but I walked away wanted to be there for the whole festival. The next year I went was when I was 14, I volunteered and it was the best experience of my life! It was so fun hanging out with the bands and growing closer in my walk with the Lord! my mom and I are planning on going to Creationfest every year for now on and bringing friends to help us volunteer! - Tenille Hockenbury Lisah best friend Me and my Chris August and I My cousin Natal ie and me Also, I got in to so many amazing bands that I love so much now. Creation northeast 2012 here we come!!! - Kayla Hargan Shonlock, myself, my sister and our friend Nicole that we met while volunteering! I started going to Creation Northeast in 2009. In the campsite I was called the "Newbie" and to be honest I didn't know if I would enjoy myself that year because the only band I had heard of was Relient K and I was only going for Relient K, but I'm glad I went because I ended up loving a lot of the bands on the line up thatyear. It was also my first time ever camping and I found out camping was amazing. Creation is just a great experience for me because I get spiritually fed and I justlove the fellowship of all the Christians together in one place and it just amazesme during candlelight service how many people are there; everytime I see it I get a tear to my eye and I just can't help to smile. It is also amazing after the speakers during alter call how many people dedicate their life to Christ or to rededicate their life. There are so many each year it's great. I can feel the presence of God here, out of all the festivals this is one of them. I am so thankful that back in 2008 I went to the Allegany County Fair and checkedout the exhibits because I wouldn't have seen the CIA Christians In Action) table there, the people running the table told me about Creation and I got interested and so glad they gave me the newsletter because ever since 2009 I've been going to Creation and I'm very close friends with the people that have the table and I thank them for taking me and being my friend, but most importantly I thank God for them coming into my life and that I was able to go to Creation and I hope to continue to come. I hope to see ya this summer!!! - Ashleigh Ruthanna Crabtree tion 2010 Carrie Crea ) My friend (Left (Right) Me kout e Loo om th fr sites Camp ve a gre Do you ha U you Send us EATIONFEST.COM/YO CR at tory?

I have been to Creation 23 out of 30 years of my life. "A Tribute To Our Creator." The first Creation I missed was because I was out touring with "Tenth Avenue Some of the best times were when I was a teen North." We toured for about six years and then we and began to realize that Creation "The moments that got word that there was a possibility of was about music, God and worship. really stick out in my us playing at Creation! I remember, like, Creation was instrumental to me be- mind are the times of geeking out! I was so excited. I couldn't worship, and, for me, understand how this could happen; from coming involved in Christian music. that sums up Creation standing in a crowd, looking up on stage quite a bit." The moments that really stick out in to now being on stage at Creation. Now my mind are the times of worship, the person on stage might be me! It was and, for me, that sums up Creation quite a bit. just kind of a weird moment. I was so nervous the That's one of the reasons I now enjoy playing at first year we played and all my family was out front Creation. I know they have an emphasis on worcheering. We played about 10am in the morning. ship and not just entertainment.

As we have played Creation, being back stage and meeting Pastor Harry Thomas and the staff of Creation and the faces I have known, I have had the chance to get to know their heart behind why they do the festival. They really want to focus in on people meeting with God. As 10th Avenue North continues to come back to Creation we are hopeful that we contribute to that goal. We are excited to be back at Creation in 2012, and to be part of a festival that was so huge in my childhood and teenage life, and to come back and hopefully give back to a festival that gave so much to me as a young person. We want to get people excited and play our music, but we want to leave the stage knowing people have met God and have been changed by His presence. That's our goal when we play at Creation.

The Creation Experience begins with incredible live concerts and top of the line sound and lights, brings you into heavenly worship, offers kids activities and entertainment, inspirational speakers, stadium size communion service, a breathtaking candle light service, baptism with over 400 of your closest friends, and even an energetic 5 am tarp run. Over the years, we've worked hard to deepen the Creation experience with ministry opportunities as well. We've heard stories of people who've attend Creation and then went on to serve in foreign countries on mission trips. Mission's work has always been a huge part of Creation and specifically Africa holding a place dear to our hearts and ministry purpose. Rarely do thousands of people have the opportunity to go to Africa, so this year Creation is bringing AFRICA to over 100,000 people in Pennsylvania and Washington. NOW, we can Share THE WORLD VISION EXPERIENCE in a whole new way with World Vision's interactive exhibit LIVE at Creation 2012. THE EXPERIENCE combines stirring audio and captivating photography, transporting you to the heart of Africa. Along with this is the Journey to Jamaa interactive, film-based worship service. This will allow you to experience poverty through the eyes of two children from Uganda. It is a compelling biblical message about God's heart for the poor. It's an: - Unforgettable - Engaging - Authentic - Moving - Personal and Intimate Experience. Much like Creation Festival, World Vision's THE EXPERIENCE will change you. You see, hear and experience stories of tragedy and triumph lived out by real children in AIDS - affected communities And you'll gain a completely new perspective on the greatest humanitarian crisis of our time.

Won't tell you how much over 50 I was, but I was definitely over 50. So here I am, signing up to volunteer at a Christian music festival I had never heard of before that day. Not sure why I volunteered, but I know God had everything to do with that decision.So, I get to the Festival at The Gorge Amphitheater in George. Set up camp and go to the orientation. I am feeling the "love" as I received a wristband, name badge, T-shirt, and a cool bucket hat. I am now a fully trained official volunteer staff person! The next day I am off to my first job assignment. A lot of people are asking me if I had seen the stage, and to make sure to go look at it when I got off shift. So, walking down to the main stage at the Gorge for the first time, I see this big banner hanging over the stage. It said, "A TRIBUTE TO OUR CREATOR". God gave me the answer to my why, in a great big, all caps banner. And every year after that, he gives me a reminder in a great big, all caps banner hanging over the main stage. Creationfest is "A TRIBUTE TO OUR CREATOR", but so are each one of the volunteers that come to help. As volunteers we give tribute to our creator by serving him with the gifts he has given us. We give all the glory to God. God is good! All the time! I have served in many different areas: Public Safety, Arena Security, Traffic, Entrance Gates, Setup and Teardown. I love them all, but Gates is my favorite. I like entrance gates because we are the first contact the festival guest's have with a festival volunteer. So we have the cool job of not only scanning their ticket, but making sure they feel welcome. We are the "welcome wagon" at the festival. God has put us there to be a blessing to all the people that we get to meet at the entrance gates. We have guests that share with us why they are at the festival, how many times they have attended, and who is their favorite band or speaker. I love serving Christ at CreationFest. God has graciously blessed me at both Creation West and Creation East with great Christian friends. It is an honor to pray, share and work with my Christian brothers and sisters at both festivals. My prayer is that we all leave the festival refreshed in our faith that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. "May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." 2Corinthians 13:14 love to hear it! tion ory?

TM The San Diego band first formed in 1996 when Foreman and his brother Tim put the group together. Butler says the band members were all friends from their days at Carlsbad High. At the time, the San Diego indie rock scene was thriving as bands such as Rocket from the Crypt and Drive Like Jehu had just started to gain national attention. In keeping true to its San Diego roots, the band annually hosts Switchfoot Bro-Am, an event that benefits the San Diegobased StandUp for Kids, a national volunteer outreach nonprofit. The Bro-Am includes a surf contest, charity auction, and festival concert. The event has raised over $500,000 to date, and this year's event attracted 10,000 people. "San Diego has given us so much," Foreman says. "Bro-Am is the most rewarding week of our lives. I've been given so much, it's natural for me to give back to these kids who have been dealt a tricky hand. These are amazing kids who are dealing with all sorts of issues." In addition to his role in Switchfoot, Foreman still finds time for Fiction Family, the acoustic outfit that he fronts alongside Nickel Creek's Sean Watkins. He has also become a columnist for the Huffington Post and writes about topics as wideranging as his backyard garden and inspirational civil rights leaders. "We love music and playing together," he says. We thrive on the communal aspect of song and the stories that are invested within. We've been through a lot together... Incredible, wonderful moments and also really destructive, painful moments. You can feel that weight in some of the songs. It's an incredible dream-come-true to say, `It's time for a new Switchfoot record' and to be able to go into the studio and make the album exactly how we want to make it."

A: Musically, we have all sorts of influences. We all grew up There are many themes throughout the songs, but this is the listening to rock. I've actually been on sort of a pop kick, one that you see over and over. though, lately. Q: What would you like to change about the music industry? A: We want to be more than just a band people listen to. We want to be an encouragement to our fans, but more than that, we want to be a resource. Maybe we make a website where our fans can connect with other believers. Maybe we have videos that can teach them and help them in their faith. Whatever it is, I feel that Christian music should do more than entertain. 22 Playing Main Stage at Creation NE&NW Kutless' guitarist James Mead talks about their new studio release... Q: We are so excited about your new release! Can you tell us a little more about the new album and what we can expect? A: Our forthcoming album is full of some really great songs (in my opinion). We are really excited for how the messages of these songs will start to move in people's lives, as God speaks to them. Our past few records have been somewhat manic in nature, not really settling in on one sound or the other. Over the years I think people have heard two sides of Kutess, so to speak...rock band and worship band. I think this record contains the best of both sides of our ministry. We are a rock band who is passionate about our songs being worshipful.

Born in 1982 in Brisbane, Australia, without any medical explanation or warning, Nicholas Vujicic came into the world with neither arms nor legs. Imagine the shock his parents felt when they saw their first-born brand new baby boy for the first time, only to find he was what the world would consider imperfect and abnormal. A limbless son was not what nurse Dushka Vujicic, and her husband Pastor Boris Vujicic had been expecting. How would their son live a normal happy life? What could he ever do or become when living with such a massive disability? Little did they or anyone else know that this beautiful limbless baby would one day be someone who would inspire and motivate people from all walks of life. God uses Nick to touch lives and bring the hope of Jesus Christ to people across the globe. Throughout his childhood, Nick dealt not only with the typical challenges of school and adolescence such as bullying and self-esteem issues; but also struggled with depression and loneliness. He constantly questioned why he was different than all the other kids surrounding him; why he was the one born without arms and legs. He wondered what the purpose behind his life was, or if he even had a purpose. According to Nick, the victory over his struggles throughout his journey, as well as the strength and passion he has for life can be credited to his faith in God. His family, friends and the many people he has encountered along the way have also encouraged him. CLICK TO READ MORE 26 BE A CHAMPION! CHOOSE LIBERTY!

Inside a well-laid room in her upmarket residence, a pheran-clad girl blushes as media shoots all sorts of questions. For class X student, it is her first tryst with media since she joined Kashmir's first all-girl rock band Praagaash seven months ago.
From fatwa to online threats to her quitting music, the 15-year-old is trying hard to answer all questions to quell the controversy surrounding the band. "We respect his (grand mufti) decision that music is haraam (forbidden) in Islam and therefore we have quit," she said.
It was last year when a relative gifted a guitar to her younger brother that ignited her interest in the music. She went to a local institute and started learning music before she joined the band.
Praagaash stood third in the 'Battle of Bands' competition which saw dozens of rock and other Sufi bands vying for the coveted title. But the happiness proved to be short lived as moral brigade posted abuse and threats on their Facebook page forcing them to go underground and shun public performances.
"What can I do if it is not allowed in religion? Band stands disbanded and two other girls have also quit. If there was no statement, we may have continued, not as a career but as a hobby," she said.
"The culture of Kashmir is not like this. Music has been going on from centuries. In Islam though it is not permitted and therefore we quit," she said. For centuries music has been an inseparable part of Kashmiri culture. Famous singers and poets including Lal Ded have left indelible mark in nurturing Kashmir's rich cultural ethos. A Kashmiri marriage is incomplete without wanwun, the folklore recited by women.
Visible shaken, the girl said the controversy has been blown out of proportion. "The threats were on Facebook and it did not matter. They (media) highlighted it too much (and we became the centre of focus of the debate)", she said.
Ask her about the threats to leave Kashmir to pursue music, the girl gets agitated, "Who are they to ask us to leave Kashmir? It is our Kashmir. It is our state and they should leave instead."
The girl now wants to leave behind the controversy and concentrate on studies. "I want to complete my schooling. I want to join engineering," she said. But she has a advice for others. "Listen to your heart. Kashmir is a place where you can't do anything," she said.

Re: AquaMark3 image quality comparison
Umm I am not trying to be rude or unappreciative of the work MikeC has put into this but what exactly is the point of all this? The chart shows the difference values between the different modes...this means nothing in my eyes. Of course Trilinear Filtering will be different than Anisotropic Filtering and so on. The number just shows how different the two screens are.
I don't see how these numbers will be of any significance when the X800 is added as the two cards use different algorithms which will produce different results. There is no correlation between the two different cards with those numbers unless you are comparing to a refrast image there is no true baseline for comparison. The only way those numbers would be valid for comparing is if you get a number by comparing refrast to a 6800 running Trilinear and then you get a number by comparing refrast to a X800 running Trilinear. This type of comparison would clearly illustrate the differences between the various IHV implementations.
The biggest difference seen is between Trilinear and any Anisotropic mode and I don't think any of you will argue that the Anisotropic modes are much sharper and overall more pleasing to the eye. I appreciate the work that MikeC has done especially with regards to the pictures as they show the differences between the modes quite well.

A sorceress' mystical power wanes and waxes over time. Like everything else, magic has its ups and downs, no matter how experienced or powerful the user is. Magic can be quite unpredictable, which, sometimes, can lead to shocking or dangerous situations. Let me tell you about one time I was having trouble with magic, where my power was at an all-time low... which almost led to the death of not only me, but also an innocent, young witch who trusted me.
Figuring that hot water might invigorate me, I turned the shower on and undressed, biting my lower lip as I got under the not-so-hot-yet water. As I mindlessly washed, I thought about my current situation. For some reason, my connection to magic had been extremely weak lately, resulting in an inability to cast most of the spells I could usually do without even speaking. This had led me into a state of near-depression, mostly because I felt so very useless without my powers... and that very realization hurt even more. Looking up at the showerhead, I raised both hands, aiming at it, and spoke:
"Retaw pots! "
As I suspected, nothing happened. No magical lightshow, no mystical breeze, nada. Gnihton. I didn't know which I found more pathetic: my powerlessness, or my unconscious denial, the latter of which made me keep on trying, unsuccessfully, to cast spells. Drying myself with a towel as I came out of the shower, memories kept assailing my mind. Memories of how powerful a witch I had been, of how great a hero I had been. So much for that.
Entering the living room, my eyes caught sight of the numerous mystical artifacts that I had come to own over the course of time. These objects, I realized, represented my only access to magic at the moment. Grabbing a small, golden talisman encrusted with a mystical emerald, I remembered the time I had stopped an evil wizard from using the talisman's ability to cast spells to destroy a city. Indeed, the little talisman, though it could only be used once, could grant a wish by casting any spell its user asked it too, after which it vanished, only to appear elsewhere, to grant another wish to another human. Outside, the clouds moved somewhat to allow a ray of sunshine to hit the emerald directly, generating a greenish glow around the room. I was about to put the talisman down when I heard my name being shouted. Turning around, I saw none other than Sally, a young witch I had helped keep her powers in check a few months back. It wasn't quite Sally, however, seeing as she seemed to glow and her entire body was transluscent. It was an astral projection, I realized.
"Zatanna, I... I don't have much time. I got into trouble, chasing a demon. I tried to-- we fought but-- I'm trapped. He negated nearly all my powers, all my magic and I'm trapped here! You have to help me. I saw him perform a purifying ritual on his athame moments ago: he's gonna kill me! You have to help me, you have to save me!"
I was about to argue that my powers, too, were negated when the astral projection lunged at me and grabbed my hand. Instantly, my surroundings blurred as, I realized, I was being teleported to wherever it was that Sally was being kept. For a moment, I was happy to feel magic at work around me, even if it wasn't mine. But then it hit me: I was about to face a demon, most probably a high-level one, if he had managed to block Sally's powers, and I had absolutely no magical abilities to fight back. Adrenaline rushed into my veins way before my surroundings stopped changing. What would I do?
I was going to die.

Colombia ex-prez makes waves, in and out of office
Uribe says the evidence-gathering makes Cepeda a "moral assassin."
Both men lost their fathers violently: Uribe's was killed on his ranch in 1983 by the FARC, which stands for Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia; a right-wing death squad including two soldiers assassinated Cepeda's father, a communist senator, a decade later.
While Cepeda was working to put his father's killers in jail, Uribe was building a national reputation as a hard-charging politician bent on taking rural Colombia back from the rebels.
Uribe would deal the FARC a knockout punch in 2008, the year of the Betancourt rescue as well as a cross-border raid into Ecuador to kill a rebel commander. That action reaped computer files implicating Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez as a FARC supporter.
The raid would earn Uribe regional censure, but U.S. applause.
Although leftist rebel violence is now restricted to remote regions, a recent uptick in violence prompted a shake-up in Colombia's military leadership and is making Colombians jittery.
Maria Astrid Mendez, a 44-year-old housewife interviewed at a Bogota bus stop, said that under Uribe "we felt more protected. We could take our children out for a drive outside the city. Even at night."
"I think that if President Uribe did something wrong, like the eavesdropping or paramilitarism that he's accused of, history alone will judge him," she added. "I don't think that President Uribe is a paramilitary."
Uribe accuses his foes of waging a campaign of "criminal vengeance." His defenders say the critics are simply tools of the FARC. To The Associated Press, he shrugged off the attacks, saying: "It's all right. That's democracy."
He lives with one of his two sons in a Bogota house on a police compound. His wife, Lina Moreno, lives mostly on a family ranch near Medellin, 240 kilometers (150 miles) away.
He spends a lot of time doing what ex-presidents do here just as they do in the U.S: He lectures for fees, gave some seminars at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. and recently had the role of elder statesman co-chairing a U.N. commission that investigated Gaza-related violence.
But he is rarely out of the public fray for long.
A teetotaler and yoga practitioner, he jokes that he takes homeopathic drops to ease his temper, but they do not work.
After procedural wrangling stopped his first session with the investigating commission, Uribe stormed out of Congress and paraded 15 blocks to a downtown hotel, drawing a crowd.
"Fascist! Paramilitary!" some people shouted.
But most cheered, and some tried to shake his hand. "Go, Uribe!" one hollered. "We're not going to abandon you!"
President Juan Manuel Santos, whose approval ratings have soared above 80 percent, won election on Uribe's coattails after serving as his defense minister but does not seem to need him now.
Santos has angered his former boss by mending ties with Chavez, whom Uribe has repeatedly accused of aiding the FARC in order to destabilize Colombia.
Santos has responded with good-humored restraint.
"I have a mantra now," he told a TV interviewer. "Don't fight with Uribe. I will not fight with Uribe."

Peel away the outer layers of news with just one question, in Latin: Cui Bono?
Marcus Tullius Cicero, a.k.a Mark Tully Really Senior or Yo Yo MC Tully, was a Roman philosopher, lawyer, orator, political theorist and hardcore Gangsta Latin Rapper and producer in the first century BC. One of his popular catchphrases that, in combination with a really phat beat, was "Cui Bono?" which is not to be confused with an SMS goodbye to U2's lead singer (with a typo). It means "To whose benefit?" It was a question he would ask with all the power of his oratorical voice and suitably gravitas-inducing hand-toga manoeuvres and it would, more often than not, make everyone go "hmm."
We must go to war with the Gaulish tribes, Caesar would say, and Cicero would go "Cui Bono", and then Caesar would go "Futue te ipsum!" in exasperation. The reader is invited to Google for the meaning of that expression while we move on to our main point: In politics, the question "who benefits?" results in one of many outcomes. The rarest of these outcomes is a civil public debate about corruption in politics followed by a peaceful transition of power to the ... umm ... outcumbent, if you will. But more often than not, the question is an open invitation for conspiracy theorists.
Riots in Bihar? The CM will ask "Cui Bono?" and go on to suggest that communal clashes will benefit the other side.
Riots in Kashmir? Clearly, someone's secular credentials are at stake.
Firing from across the border? Obviously, someone wants to now show off their ability to "give suitable responses to the enemy."
In political calculus, outcomes are largely local minima or maxima in a larger optimisation problem. If you didn't understand that, don't worry. I borrowed that from mathematics and it doesn't teach us anything we don't already know. It sounds impressive so you may want to bookmark it for later use in social settings.
But when the question "Cui Bono?" is asked of the BCCI, that gathering of august gentlemen working hard to take the Gentleman out of the Gentleman's game, they are likely to point in the direction of some chap who cheated them of Rs.50 crores in a land deal. In a glorious display of misplaced Schadenfreude, social media has been LOLing and ROFLing at the BCCI. "Serves these greedy fellows right," seems to be the general sentiment but, you see, the real cost of this fraud is most likely to be passed on to the very people LOLing and ROFLing right now. You can RT a tweet. They can raise ticket prices. You may not book tickets. They may not ticket bookies.
Winston Churchill once said "Never let a good crisis go to waste." If you are an optimist, you might read that as "good politicians do good things when there is a crisis" and if you are a pessimist, you might read that as "politicians exploit crises to become more powerful." Schroedinger's cat would like to say that both are true at the same time.
It turns out, for instance, that builders in Mumbai have already raised the costs of construction because of "the Durga Shakti effect." Honest officer implies annoyance to sand mafia in U.P., which implies negative media coverage about sand mining in general, which therefore raises prices in Mumbai. If a butterfly flutters its wings on the banks of the Ganga, your EMI will increase in Mumbai. Obviously, all honest roads lead to that tricky dilemma: Are you, the citizen, really willing to pay the price of honesty? Or are you content with Facebook/Twitter campaigns and being that part of the nation that seems to keep demanding answers on televised news shows?
Meanwhile, in the world of sports, Australia has finally mastered the art of turning into the England team from the 1990s, that perfect combination of mediocre performances and articulate whining about extraneous reasons for their defeats.
But it's interesting how we take cruel pleasure in watching the Australians lose. I asked someone why he enjoyed their sporting misery and his answer was "racism against Indian students." While you let that stunning piece of guilt-by-association logic sink in, let's consider, for a moment, what news really is. Nate Silver, in his book The Signal and the Noise, points out that all news is the organised collection and dissemination of rare events. Think about that for a moment.
The next time you learn of a riot in Bihar, a communal clash in Kashmir, cross-border firing, honest officer undone by the mafia or an Australian victory under Clarke, remember that there is quite a good possibility that it is a rare event that is amplified by those on the other end of the question: "Cui bono?"

Hollywood Is Remaking "Short Circuit"
Tim Hill, director of epic love stories such as "Hop" and "Alvin and the Chipmunks," has landed a new gig. He will direct a reboot of John Badham's 1986 classic "Short Circuit." The best part? He edged out Steve Carr, director of the critically acclaimed "Paul Blart: Mall Cop." Apparently there's just too much talent in Hollywood these days. (via.)

Police: Would-be fisherman arrested when detective spots pipe during worm-buying stop
A Southern Illinois man's planned fishing trip ended Tuesday afternoon when he plopped a suspected pot pipe down on the counter along with some cash to pay for fishing worms.
A local police detective happened to be standing next to him when he emptied his pocket.
John Mazza, 47, of Fairfield, Ill., had stopped at Wayne-White Propane and Sporting Goods on West Main Street in Fairfield to buy fishing worms when he was arrested.
Along with money to pay for a box of red wigglers, a one-hitter pot pipe wound up on the checkout counter in front of Wayne County Sheriff's Office Detective Michael Vinson.
Vinson was in the store to look at a rifle when he spotted the pipe. Vinson identified himself as a police officer and asked Mazza if he had any marijuana. Mazza produced a metal container from his pocket that contained a quantity of suspected marijuana. Vinson arrested Mazza and transported him to the Wayne County Jail, where he was booked on preliminary charges of being in possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Sheep grazing on the dried up paddy fields and cows grazing on the withering maize crop reflect the grim situation of Kharif season in this mandal, one that never witnessed a drought in the past three decades.
"I stopped my studies in 1978 and took up agriculture. I saw dry seasons but never such as this where there was no rain and no ground water," rues Chinnala Dhanunjaya of Lyabarthi village whose three acre paddy crop is fast withering.
Madha Venkataiah, an elderly farmer who lost 2.5 acres of paddy crop said that for one full year there was no rain. "My fields are brittle and all seedlings perished. Even if there is rain, there is no hope of reviving my crop as the good time is already past," he lamented.
"Those who have borewells are finding it difficult to harvest water for three to four hours continuously as they lie depleted. The water that is pumped is not adequate to wet one acre completely," he said.
Perala Sampath Rao who sowed maize in one acre and cotton in two acres has lost all hope and has allowed his cows to consume the withering maize crop.
According to Dhananjaya, the sowing season was over and even all that could be salvaged if it rained in the next two days would be insufficient to recover the investment. Wardhannapet mandal is normally endowed with ground water and canal water. However, both failed to hold promise this time leaving the farmers in lurch.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
