Re: Wednesday Service Plays
Ben Burns Freebie
New Jersey Nets
Reason: I successfully played on the Knicks last night, using them as my "Eastern Conference Game of the Month." However, this looks like a much tougher spot. Last night, they were catching the Wizards off a big win at Boston the night before and playing their fourth game in five nights. Tonight, its the Knicks which are playing the second of back to back games. This will also mark their sixth game in the past nine nights. Note that the Knicks are a poor 5-13 SU and 6-12 ATS the last 18 times they played the second of back to back games. They'll be facing a well-rested New Jersey squad which is anxious to bounce back after suffering losses to Boston and Portland the last two times out. Additional motivation will be provided by the fact that the Knicks already upset the Nets twice this season. Despite the loss here in December, the Nets remain a healthy 14-4 SU and 12-6 ATS the last 18 times they were a host in this series. I expect them to resume that homecourt series dominance this evening. Consider laying the points.
Re: Wednesday Service Plays
Rob Veno
New York @ New Jersey UNDER 191
Recent series history here in the Nets building has tilted severely toward the under going 4-1 the last five meetings. Have to believe that this contest will fall right in line as the posted number of 191 gives these two miserable shooting teams ample room to create a low scoring affair. Jersey offense has gone south the past couple of games posting 77 & 73 points as their shooting percentage has now fallen to a dismal 43.3%. With the Knicks suddenly confident on the defensive end after a pair of stellar performances, expect New Jersey have point scoring difficulties again. For New York, offense has been a weakness as well. Over the last 20 games, the Knicks have exceeded 95 points just seven times and their 24th ranked 43.8 FG% is barely better than New Jersey's. It took 77 free throw attempts in the last contest between these teams to have the total land on 193 and can't figure for that much charity help here. In the second game of their eight back to back situations this year, the Knicks are averaging just 184.3 points per game and they are 0-5 under the total versus Eastern conference opponents in this spot. Look for something in the 179-184 range tonight as this one stays under the total. Recommendation: UNDER

triple-dime betVirginia -5.0 vs Va. Tech
The Virginia Cavaliers have a great chance of winning their third straight ACC home opener, as they host a team they've dominated nine straight times on their home floor.
Virginia is coming off a humiliating loss to Duke, but this was to be expected, as the Cavaliers have now lost 12 straight games to the Blue Devils.
Cavaliers head coach Dave Leitao is an impressive 11-1 against in-state rivals and the team has won 20 straight home games in this situation.
The pressure of this rivalry will affect a young Hokies team that has freshman playing 51 percent of the time.
Virginia cruises to an EASY VICTORY tonight!

double-dime bet Marshall 0.0 vs East Caro.
The Marshall Thundering Herd have enjoyed road success against East Carolina in Conference USA play - winning three out of four matchups - and I don't expect things to change tonight.
East Carolina demonstrated weakness at home last season - winning only one home game in conference play and that happened to be the season finale against UTEP.
Marshall rolls to a victory tonight

triple-dime bet768 N.Illinois -1.0 vs E. Mich
NCAAB: Eastern Michigan Eagles at Northern Illinois Huskies - Northern Illinois -1 -110 | Unit Value: 3 DIME "Wednesday Destroyer)
Note: I played and won with this team Sunday and I am going to do it again, all for the same reasons. This team had a rough start to the year due to injuries several and players returning or leaving the team. Fifth-year senior point guard Ryan Paradise elected to end his career after dealing with myriad injuries. Paradise started the first six games before suffering a broken nose on Nov. 24. Guard Cody Yelder has not played due to acedemic issues, and Junior forward Sean Smith has been in and out of the lineup with the same. He returned to the court Sunday and put together a very good effort verses Toledo, at one time hitting 3 straight baskets on three possessions. Smith possesses a good mid-range jumper and can put the ball on the floor. Senior forward Ben Rand did not dress for the Toledo game. Rand, a transfer from Iowa, had started the last four games but was sidelined with a foot injury. Despite numerous lineup changes, almost daily, the Huskies are coming together, getting great bench work, and performing well verses some pretty good teams like Air Force and Arkansas Little Rock. NIU coach Ricardo Patton after the Huskies won their fourth straight home game, a 78-62 win over Toledo, "You have to take care of your home court and have a sense of pride. Certainly, our guys are developing that sense of pride." This is an amazing stat but here it comes. Northern Illinois' bench outscored Toledo 62-9 on Sunday. They do have a lot of people they can turn to, and the reason is simple. The Bench guys have had to be pushed into action and that has made the Huskies a much better team. Eastern Michigan poses no real threat on the road having lost 5 straight, their shooting numbers have been very poor over the last 5, and the Huskies are turning up the D, allowing less than 39% shooting over their last 5 played. They have another homecourt chance tonight verses a team that they have an 8-2 ATS record last 10. I don't know who is going to step onto the court first tonight for the home team. I do know that we will see a lot of players with capability doing so tonight. I am laying the small price

double-dime bet760 Iowa St. 6.0 vs Missouri
Analysis: NCAAB: Missouri Tigers at Iowa State Cyclones - Iowa State +6 -110 | Unit Value: 2 DIMES
Note: Some teams just give others Hell and the Cyclones do that to Mizzu. The last game these two play the Tigers came away with a win but prior to that Iowa State had beat Mizzu 4 straight times and they are also just 3-7 ATS last 10 meetings. This has not been a good series to be the favorite with a 3-13 ATS Mark for the "Better Team." Missouri is a tough team to beat at their homeplace and always has been, but they, like other schools struggle when they hit the road and Mizzu has done just that at 0-3 this year on true road contests and 1-5 away from Columbia overall. Iowa State does a lot of things right and one of those is play great D. They are allowing just 37% shooting here in Ames. Iowa State is starting one of the taller lineups among Big 12 teams, mixing three forwards (Wesley Johnson, Rahshon Clark and Craig Brackins) and a center (Jiri Hubalek) with a point guard, Bryan Petersen. The lineup enabled the Cyclones to forge a 44-37 advantage on the boards at Baylor last game. They did have some costly turnovers, (19) and that was their demise. Things will be better here at home, and their tall linup matches up very well with what Mizzu brings to the table. The Tigers have been outboarded on the road this year by a whopping 9 per game and they are more than likely going to get the same treatment this evening. The visitors also have not shown the ability to stop the opposition away from home, allowing over 53% shooting. They are coming off a huge home win over Texas. Perhaps a letdown, and perhaps not, but the Tigers will know they have played a game when this one is in the books. I am grabbing the 6 points.

NBA Total
double-dime bet TOR / SAC Over 199.5
Analysis: The Kings will be playing at full strength for the 1st time this season, with point guard Mike Bibby expected to make his 1st start of the season after sitting out with a thumb injury. They got leading scorer Kevin Martin back from a groin injury 2 games ago, and he has averaged 32 points off the bench as both went OVER. In fact, the total has gone OVER in the last 4 games for Sacramento. The OVER is also 3-1 in Toronto's last 4 games, including a 103-89 loss at Detroit on Tuesday. I simply expect the Kings to run in this one with all their players finally back, and I think the Raptors will have no problem pushing the pace and running with them. That's why I'm betting the OVER as my Double Dime NBA Total Play O' the Week.

Matchup: Northeastern at William Mary
Play: William Mary (-3.5-110)
The Huskies of Northeastern will be playing their 12th of 16 games on the road tonight as they visit William & Mary. They have yet to secure a victory in conference road games posting a 0-2 mark. The Huskies are a poor shooting team that doesn't have an outside scoring threat. They rank 317th in the country in 3 point shooting percentage. That of course limits their ability in a comeback situation. Northeastern is also a very young squad with no seniors on the roster with their top four minute producers being either freshman or sophomores.
William & Mary have won three straight conference games including back to back road wins at Georgia State and Old Dominion. The Tribe is an improving ballclub and we catch them here laying a small number to a young struggling club. While the Huskies are very young this is a veteran Tribe squad. Four of their top five players in minutes are either juniors or seniors.
Northeastern shoots just 39.8% from the field on the road while the host allows just 38.7% shooting in this building. We simply can't see a scenario where the less experienced Huskies can control the game here. They haven't played exceptionally well away from home and William & Mary is on the upswing. The number is simply too short to not back the veteran host.
Matchup: George Washington at Fordham
Play: George Washington (+5-110)
The record setting defensive performance against St Louis could be a springboard for this club which really struggled in non-conference play. But Atlantic 10 action is an entirely different ballgame and a new lease on life for the Colonials who are now 1-0 in conference play. They have owned this series winning 8 straight and 14 of the last 15 meetings, yet they are installed as an underdog here. George Washington allows just 39.7% shooting from the floor and they should own the rebounding edge in this game. Therefore we have the better defensive team who will control the boards yet we are getting points in this match-up.
Fordham has yet to defeat a team of any type of quality this season. They enter with a 6-8 record with victories over Columbia, Central Missouri State, Manhattan, Hofstra, New Jersey Tech and Binghamton. None of those victories were against teams ranked in the top 200 in the nation, yet they are a sizable favorite tonight. Against teams in the top 200 ranking the Rams closest defeat was by 4 points here to NC Greensboro. So we have a club that has been very consistent with their outputs, they play to a certain level, and that level not only isn't good enough to cover this number, it's doubtful they will win the game. Both teams are slow paced which means less possessions and fewer points scored which makes each point more valuable for betting purposes. Look for the Colonials to build on their last defensive performance and win in a very low scoring game.

Matchup: Michigan at Illinois
Play: Illinois (-11.0-110)
Michigan lost 54-42 the last time it played Illinois last Feb. 21. The Wolverines, who rely heavily on three-point shooting, will find points (from behind the arc) tough to come by again against the Illini, which plays strong perimeter defense. Michigan is 1-5 on the road and that loan win cam against a young and inexperienced Northwestern squad.
Matchup: Virginia Tech at Virginia
Play: Virginia (-5.0-110)
Virginia needs to get things turned around after getting routed twice in two games, and Virginia Tech looks to offer that opportunity. The Hokies have won four of their last five games after rallying to get past Maryland, but they have struggled on the road, where they are only 1-4 with losses to Wake Forest and Richmond, among others. Also, Virginia leads this series by a whopping margin of 78-47.

Drake (-2') at BRADLEY
Our long term free play run stands at a cool 93-63-3!
Revenge will be served tonight in Peoria, as the Braves of Bradley are most definitely in a downturn while the Bulldogs continue to impress.
Bradley enters this home game with a below .500 ledger at 8-9 straight up, and just a 5-9 mark against the spread. At home the Braves are just 1-4 against the math, and tonight they will have to face a Bulldogs team that comes in looking for triple-revenge!
Drake is off to a 14-1 start, and better still is their 9-1 mark at the ticket window, as the Bulldogs have been lining their backers pockets. One big reason the Bulldogs are rocking is the fact their top three scorers are averaging better than 46% from behind the trifecta line. When you can spread the court the way Drake can, you make it very difficult on the other team to hang in there for the full 40-minutes.
The last time Drake paid a visit on Bradley, they were waxed by 15 points last February, expect Coach Davis to remind his charges of that fact, and expect Drake to get their triple-revenge.
Play on the Bulldogs.

STAR: (712) NEW JERSEY (-7.5) over New York
(Risking $110 to win $100)
We rode the Knicks last night for an easy win but I'll fade them here tonight as they should be feeling pretty good about themselves now. New York will be looking for their first three game winning steak of the season when they travel to Jersey tonight, but I don't see that happening. The Knicks will have the full attention of the Nets because New York has already beaten Jersey twice this year. This line looks pretty fat and the public is starting to gobble up those points and take New York, but lets not forget this is still the Knicks that we are taking about and this is still a team coached (thats a joke) by Isiah Thomas. The Knicks have been horrible all year so their numbers in back to back games look just as bad as their overall numbers, but New York loses by an average of 12 points per game in the second of back to backs. The Knicks are also only 3-7 against the spread in the last 10 trips to New Jersey. Its time for the Nets to pay a good game, lay the points here!

double-dime bet Iowa St. 5.5 vs Missouri
MISSOURI (11-5) at IOWA ST (10-6)
The scheduling dynamic at play here in tonights Big-12 game between Missouri and Iowa St happens so seldom, that I deemed this play worthy of my first 2 unit play of the basketball season. The first piece of the puzzle was fulfilled when Missouri surprised then #12 ranked Texas 97- 84, sparked by a 14-2 run coming out of halftime the Tigers went on to an easy victory on their home court. Those type of wins where the home fans storm the court always grab my attention because a letdown is almost assuredly to come. Now we find the 2nd and most important piece to this little puzzle, Missouri has a game on deck Saturday at home against #3 ranked Kansas! Can you imagine those kids excitement and anticipation for the chance to knock off what may be the best team in the country, after having the confidence in knowing they can knock out a top opponent like they did last Saturday? Hence we are left with this almost too good to be true sandwich of epic proportions. Lightly regarded Iowa St has done nothing this year to garner anyones attention and Missouri will hardly be motivated or even the least bit excited to make this midweek trip to Iowa to play a game they know in their hearts they should win easily. OK, we have established the situation, now lets look at the technical facts that support this very strong play. I start with this questionwhat exactly has Missouri done on the road this season to make me believe they will not wipe the floor with the Cyclones? The answer, they have done absolutely nothing away from home to merit in any way being a 5 point road favorite. In fact they have played only 3 true road games and have lost all 3! Meanwhile, Iowa State was beaten in their conference opener by 7 points by Baylor. Oh boy! To say the public will be drawn to bet on Missouri in this game would be, to say the least, an understatement.
Iowa State coach Greg McDermott was hired away from Northern Iowa to put this basketball program back on the map. He was well known in the MVC for squeezing the most out of his players and will surely make Iowa State a perennial NCAA tourney entrant given enough time. He will have his team prepared for battle tonight as his 24-6 spread record as underdogs at Northern Iowa suggests. His old team at Northern Iowa showed the affects of missing his leadership last year as they stumbled badly down the stretch losing 9 of their last 12 despite high expectations. You get the point, he is a good coach, period. Though they have played little in the way of non conference competition, they have built up confidence at home by winning 8 of their first 10 home games. Missouri does not exactly have a good history of winning games here either. Indeed, they have won only once in their last 8 visits to Ames, Iowa. Three times they have come here and been favored in those 8 games and not once did they even win the game, let alone cover the spread. I could bombard you with meaningless trends to back this play, but nothing is more important than the HUGE situational advantages in Iowa States favor I have already outlined. Grab the points and watch Missouri fall victim to the unavoidable lure to look ahead to their game against Kansas. Iowa State gets the straight up win tonight as we should easily cash the first two unit play of the season.

dime bet Rice 26.0 vs Memphis
MEMPHIS (15-0) at RICE (3-12)
Ah yes, finally a contest that is more my style as we are back to taking perhaps one of the most unattractive plays on the board albeit also one of the best of the board. Going into this contest, I want to make it clear, Memphis (15-0 SU & 8-5 ATS) isnt in danger of losing for the first time this season. They take on a Rice team (3-12 SU & 5-8 ATS) that has been plagued by injuries all season. The latest player to be sidelined for the lowly Owls was their starting guard Rodney Foster who suffered a knee injury last week against Marshall. With three potential starting perimeter players out (Chris Hagan and Cory Pflieger also remain sidelined), the Owls continue to fined players to put out on the court. Just last week they added a walk-on in Junior Chris Szalay who will probably see some playing time. Senior forward Paulius Packevicius is the only active player to be score in double figures this season. He is averaging 10.6 points and ranks second in the league in rebounding at 9.5 boards per game. The injuries are a significant reason why the Owls enter this contest on a five-game skid with setbacks to Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, Oklahoma, Marshall and UTEP. Indeed, Rice's last victory was a 70-65 win over TCU on Dec. 29. In stark contrast, Memphis hasnt lost a game this entire season and at 15-0, they are one of only two undefeated teams in country with impressive non-conference wins over Connecticut, Georgetown and Arizona. Memphis doesn't just beat their opponents they usually do so in grand fashion as they have an average victory margin of 21.5 points and has defeated four opponents by more than 30 points. The Tigers are off two very impressive wins to open Conference USA play as they dismantled East Carolina 99-58 before going on the road to knock off Marshall, 68-45.
On paper this looks contest looks like an absolute blowout. Again their only common opponent Memphis knocked off the aforementioned Marshal by 23 in a 68-45 road win, while Rice was destroyed by the same Marshal team 47-66 at home. We also know that Rice has yet to win a home game this season where they are 0-5 SU & ATS. Given the disparity in the results against the common opponent and also given the fact that Rice is down now three starters one would naturally assume a high line. I knew going into this contest that the line was going to be exceptionally misleading and the books wanted to set this line to get public money pouring in. With that being said, the 26 point number is astronomical, but the books have got what they wanted as tracking sites are showing bets being placed on Memphis at a staggering 9-1 clip. Interestingly, however is the fact that the line has not moved off the number, despite the disparity in action and in at least two shops the line has moved down (against the money) to 25.5. The reason for this (at least in my eyes) is clear. Despite winning by an average of over 21 points per game this season, Memphis has been a completely different animal on the road. On paper, Joe public sees that Memphis is averaging a staggering 82.7 points per game, while Rice is averaging just 55.7! That difference alone amounts to 27 points hmmm and the line is 26 here, interesting odds maker. With that being said, the Memphis offense has averaged only 69.7 points per game on the road this season (a difference of 13 points) and they are shooting just .429. For as bad as Rice appears, they did manage to score 54 points against Texas and they put up 58 at Vanderbilt, and 49 at Oklahoma and they come into this contest averaging 55.7 in all contests. Rice also plays very aggressive on the defensive side of he ball, despite allowing 69.7 points per game. A key stat here is the fact that opponents are only out-rebounding Rice by a narrow average margin of +0.9 boards per game (37.1-38.0). The Owl offense is generating only 55.7 points per game, while allowing 69.7 points a contest. If Rice can manage to hold a similar small deficiency, limit their turnovers (which have killed them the last few weeks) and they can just score under their average, this game will be a very easy cover. Although there is a mired of trends that also favor Rice in this setting I will not bore you with that know. However, for what its worth, Wednesdays have been good to Rice as they are 13-3 ATS in Wednesday games over the last 3 seasons. Hey its Wednesday! Take those points.

Delaware is receiving far too many points tonight and now it?s time to capitalize. Delaware at 8-7 has returned all 5 starters from last season. They are now a force to be reckoned with in conference play. Delaware has won 4 straight games in which they were the underdog in each one. Linesmakers continue to overlook this very talented ball club. VA Commonwealth is 0-7 ATS in home games off a no-cover where the team won straight up as a favorite over the last 3 seasons. Delaware is 15-6 ATS versus good defensive teams allowing less than 64 points/game over the last 3 seasons. VA Commonwealth is 3-13 ATS in home games after playing 2 consecutive games as favorite over the last 3 seasons. Cash in with Delaware as the underdog.

Arkansas will roll in this SEC match-up with South Carolina. The Razorbacks are off to a hot 13-3 start this year with 5 returning starters at their disposal. Arkansas is a perfect 9-0 at home this season, outscoring their opponents by a colossal 18 points per game. Arkansas is 8-0 ATS in home games after failing to cover the spread in 2 or more consecutive games over the last 3 seasons. Cash in with Arkansas as the favorite.
3 Unit Sharp Play on Michigan +11.5
The Michigan Wolverines got the spark they needed last time out to get the confidence to pull off this upset at Illinois tonight. Michigan went on the road and beat Northwestern by 10 points as nearly a 5-point underdog on Saturday. Illinois is just 8-9 on the year and should not be a double-digit favorite Wednesday. Illinois is just 4-4 at home going 1-7 ATS in the process. Illinois is 0-6 ATS in home games after successfully covering the spread in 2 or more consecutive games over the last 3 seasons. Illinois is just 3-11 ATS as a favorite of 10 or more points over the last 2 seasons. Cash in with Michigan as the underdog.

Returning home after a 1-4 road trip, the Pacers have lost nine of their last 11 games overall. Golden State handed Indiana one of those road losses in a 106-101 win last Sunday over the Pacers. Golden State has won 3 straight and four of its last five. Golden State is 14-4 ATS in road games versus terrible defensive teams - allowing 103+ points/game over the last 3 seasons. Indiana is 5-15 ATS versus up-tempo teams averaging 83 or more shots/game over the last 2 seasons. The Pacers will continue to struggle against this explosive Warriors? team tonight. Cash in with Golden State as the underdog.

15 Dime –
Take the Magic as the small road chalk tonight over the Bobcats.
Orlando has owned Charlotte this year, winning all three matchups by an average of 12.7 points per game.
Forward Dwight Howard has been instrumental in the Magic's success against the Bobcats, averaging 27.3 points on 67.5 percent shooting and 18.7 rebounds in the three games.
Charlotte simply doesn't have anyone who can matchup with Howard and that's why he's been so dominant against them.
The Magic have also been able to keep Gerald Wallace under wraps, and if he can't produce big numbers tonight the Bobcats have no chance.
Take the Magic as the small road chalk as they grab the win and cover.
5 Dime –
Take the points with Florida State tonight when they host Duke.
Duke may be a Top 5 team, but they've had their troubles with Florida State recently.
The Seminoles have beaten the Blue Devils the last two meetings, 68-67 at Cameron last season and 79-74 at home in March, 2006.
Florida State has a big home court advantage, where it is 9-0 this season and 39-6 since the start of the 2005-06 campaign.
The Seminoles will man up tonight and defend their home court, giving Duke all it can handle to even win the game.
Take the points with Florida State as they stay within the number
Take Virginia tonight as the home chalk over Virginia Tech.
The Cavaliers have won five of the last six meetings with the Hokies, going 5-1 ATS. Virginia does have some injury concerns for tonight's game but I don't think that will hinder them from coming away with the win and cover.
Virginia Tech hasn't played that tough of a schedule thus far, which makes their record a little misleading. They are just 1-4 away from home this year and that shouldn't get better against a team they have struggled against.
The Hokies are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games, while the favorite is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings between these two.
Take Virginia as the home chalk as they grab the win and cover.

Comedy as a genre has been present on television since time immemorial, but the interesting fact is that, the face of the genre changes every few years. The way in which stories are told, characters behave and people are made to laugh changes tremendously over the years. This trend is especially seen on Indian television where we are bombarded with supposedly humourous slapstick Hindi comedy shows as well as the more refined and smarter shows from other parts of the world.
FRIENDS still remains a cult show even after a decade since it ended.
Looking at just the last decade, there is an immense change in the quality of humour that the writers are churning out. Exactly ten years ago, in May 2004 FRIENDS, an landmark show, came to an end after running successfully for a decade. It was and is still being aired on some channels.
To break down FRIENDS and analyse why it was funny, it mainly points to three things, firstly it had a considerable amount of observational comedy, which works on the premise of 'it's funny because it's true', secondly because of it's incongruous and surprise elements which make it even more random, and funny. For instance it was surprising and funny when it was revealed that Ross got mugged by Phoebe as a child. And lastly, because of use of sarcasm (obviously!), perfect timing, and punchlines dabbled with a few hyperbole and puns.
New Girl (top) and How I Met Your Mother (bottom) rely on the old formula of punchlines for inducing laughter
Soon thereafter, a lot of shows with a similar setting of a group of friends, living in a metro and struggling in their respective lives came up. Shows like How I met your mother, The Big Bang Theory, Rules of Engagement, followed the same premise and are popular among the audiences. The more recent shows based on similar concepts include Wendy, Friends with better lives and New Girl.
Two And A Half men (top) and The Big Bang Theory (bottom) are being extended just because of their popularity among audiences.
The core idea of all these shows remains the same, which makes Theodore Adorno's theory on popular music ring true for TV shows also. The theory claims that all popular music has a standardized format, and is pseudo individualised just to make it look unique, can also be extended to comedy TV. Some makers tend to drag the series just because it did well for a few years. How I Met Your Mother, Two and A Half Men, and countless Hindi serials are examples of forceful extension of storylines.
Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai was the most fresh and out-of-the box show on Indian Television.
Hindi comedy TV serials which came out a decade ago, had a certain freshness to them. Hats Off Productions' Sarabhai vs Sarabhai and Instant Khichdi provided a much needed break from melodramatic soaps, and introduced the sitcom culture in India. Sarabhai, the show which was much ahead of its time, and came across as a fresh story revolved around the Sarabhai family living in the plush locality of Cuffe Parade in Mumbai. This period also saw an increasing number of stand up comedy shows in India with reality style shows like The Great Indian Laughter Challenge, and the various seasons of Comedy Circus.
The Office (top) and Modern Family are the mockumentary style shows
The style of comedy shows is changing. The recent shows which have struck a chord with people, Modern Family, 30 Rock, The Office, Parks and Recreation have all adopted a unique way of tickling the audiences' funny bone. While Community is riddled with pop culture references and parodies television and film clichés, Modern Family, The Office and Parks and Recreation use the mockumentary style where the actual story is interspersed with characters directly speaking into the camera, sort of like an interview, and making confessions that makes for hilarious jokes. While ABC's Modern Family just got renewed for a sixth season after successfully running for five years, with unconventional storylines and awkwardly but funny situations, Parks and Recreation and Community have been cancelled for further seasons. Fans of the series took to social media to vent, and urge the channel to pick up Community for another season.
Parks and Recreation (top) and Community (bottom) are some very refined comedy shows
While Indian television is being hit by such smart comedies with a cult following, our own shows have slipped back in quality and don't seem funny at all. Shows like Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma, Lapataganj, FIR, etc enjoyed a brief period of high viewership, things aren't looking that great for fiction comedy shows. These shows generally lack a firm story and rely on slapstick humor to generate laughter, which comes across as a bit sloppy. Stand up format of comedy still remains a favourite among Indian viewers with shows like Comedy Nights with Kapil and Comedy Circus enjoy a massive viewership.
While English language fiction comedy shows are getting more and more refined, the future of Indian comedy seems somewhat unsure, unless we experiment with other styles of television and make more sitcoms, mockumentaries or even improv shows.

MORRISONVILLE - When Amy Sorrell and her mother, Janice Snider, couldn't find the fabric they wanted in the area, the shopped elsewhere. When they got tired of that, they started their own store.
This Halloween will mark the one-year anniversary of Sorrell and Snider opening their business, Cobblestone Quilts and Fabrics.
"When Jo-Ann Fabrics closed, it was hard to find fabric in town," recalled Sorrell. "There wasn't much selection in town so we'd drive across the lake to Vermont or to Malone."
"It was an hour drive to a fabric store," said Snider. "That's a long drive."
The mother-daughter duo began their business venture and hasn't looked back. The secret to the shop's success has been carrying several lines of fabric, including Northcott, Red Rooster, RJR, Thimbleberries and Maywood and an array of patterns. Offering homemade purses, tote bags and quilts and consignment items, as well as hosing regular quilting classes hasn't hurt either.
"It's constant here," Sorrell said of the shop's flow of customers.
Sorrell also credits that to keeping prices affordable.
"I try to keep costs [for fabric] under $10 a yard, but there are a few specialty fabrics that cost a little more," said Sorrell. "We even have some that are $3.99. Fabric doesn't have to be expensive."
The shop's location in the heart of Morrisonville in an old Victorian house is one Sorrell and Snider both think couldn't get much better.
"I like the idea of having a quilt shop in a Victorian house because it's an old-fashioned hobby in an old-fashioned building. It just goes together."
Having the small shop also reminds Snider of a piece of Americana lost in many towns today.
"When I was a kid, I can remember going to a different little store for everything," she said. "I like the idea of a street with little shops. I wish there was more downtown."

Poor Basic Fitness Amongst School Children Highlights Wider Concern
New research has found that two-thirds of primary school children aren't reaching basic fitness levels for their age group - an awful statistic. Child obesity rates are soaring as a result and this can easily be linked to the decline of sport and exercise. With the emphasis on creating a generation of test-passers and box-tickers, exercise and sport are being neglected in schools.

Folk singer, activist Pete Seeger dies in NY
The Hudson River was a particular concern of Seeger's. He took the sloop Clearwater, built by volunteers in 1969, up and down the Hudson, singing to raise money to clean the water and fight polluters.
He also offered his voice in opposition to racism and the death penalty. He got himself jailed for five days for blocking traffic in Albany in 1988 in support of Tawana Brawley, a black teenager whose claim of having been raped by white men was later discredited. He continued to take part in peace protests during the war in Iraq, and he continued to lend his name to causes.
"Can't prove a damn thing, but I look upon myself as old grandpa," Seeger told the AP in 2008 when asked to reflect on his legacy. "There's not dozens of people now doing what I try to do, not hundreds, but literally thousands. ... The idea of using music to try to get the world together is now all over the place."
Associated Press writer John Rogers in Los Angeles and Mary Esch in Saratoga Springs in contributed to this report.

AHL Game Night: 4-4-15 Crunch at Sound TigersSubmitted by pete on April 4, 2015 - 21:09
Comeback bid comes close to paying off.
Allen York allowed 3 goals on 26 shots for the loss. Again, paging Adam Wilcox?

BRI Sundstrom, (7) (Pulock, Quine), 14:50 (PP)
One thing about the Crunch this year, when changes to the roster have come it's taken a few games for them to adjust. Once they do, though, it's lights out. So, I expect Syracuse to settle in here, soon, and especially when they get Koekkoek and Witkowski back from Tampa Bay. They could be frightening when that happens, especially if they get more good goaltending from Gudlevskis and possibly Wilcox.
Matthew Peca got his first pro point on a fantastic setup on what was, at the time, the tying goal at 2-2 for the Crunch.
Syracuse remains 4 points up on Hartford in the division with both teams having 6 games left on the regular season slate.

NHL Game Night: 4-4-15 Lightning at PanthersSubmitted by pete on April 4, 2015 - 20:57
Ben Bishop stopped all 34 shots he faced for the shutout win. That's some U of Maine Justice right there for the Panthers. I think he's been off a little mechanically the past couple of games, either due to being banged up or being fatigued, but he's a battler and he battled his way to getting the goose egg tonight.
First Period
Second Period
6:10 TB Stamkos (41), (Johnson, Nesterov)(PP)
11:19 TB Stamkos (42), (Callahan)
Third Period
1:03 TB Callahan (24), (Stamkos)
18:13 TB Johnson (27), (Drouin)
Steven Stamkos, Ryan Callahan, and Bishop were the game's three stars.
There's so much good wrapped in this game, it's hard to make sure you hit all the high notes. From an in-game standpoint, the Lightning had 4 regular defensemen out of the lineup going against what should've been a desperate Panthers squad, and they managed to shut them out. Kudos to the young defensemen, and kudos to Coach Zettler and the staff in Syracuse. It's been fantastic to watch the sharp progress this season by Nesterov and the steady progress of the likes of Witkowski, Koekkoek, Blujus, and Dotchin. It's a really hard act following a guy who is arguably an all-time great AHL coach like Jon Cooper, but Zettler has shown some developmental mojo with these young defensemen and it makes you excited to see what he can accomplish working with a prospect like Anthony DeAngelo.
The Lightning also got a power play goal for the fourth straight game and Steven Stamkos snapped out of his funk with a vintage PP goal and a laser beam from the right wing faceoff dot. Stamkos needs to be Stamkos if the Lightning are going to do anything in the playoffs, and if he were to find his PP mojo, that alone could win the Lightning a playoff series or two they might not otherwise deserve.
From a standings standpoint, the Lightning clinched home ice in the first round of the playoffs and tied Montreal in the standings with the Habs holding a game in hand. The Lightning have the ROW tiebreaker, so all the pressure is on Montreal right now. The Lightning get 4 days to rest and heal now while Montreal has to keep getting points if they want to maintain control of their own destiny in the division title pursuit. If they lose a game, the Lightning may be able to get Hedman, Sustr, and Killorn back on the ice for the final 2 games at home with the real prospect of earning a banner in the balance.
Oh, and the Lightning eliminate the Panthers from playoff contention. It's never a bad thing to kick dirt on their grave, is it?
Slater Koekkoek was +1 with 2 penalty minutes, 1 shot, and 1 hit in 16:19. This wasn't quite the same effort for Slater as against Ottawa, IMO, but it was still a solid performance for the rookie. If I was a Syracuse fan, I'd be very excited to see him in the playoffs because he's going to go back to the Crunch with a ton of confidence.
Luke Witkowski had 2 penalty minutes and 1 hit in 15:34. Quiet is good.
Nikita Nesterov had a helper and was +2 with 4 shots, 2 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 21:18. There was a lot of gushing about Nesterov tonight and rightfully so. He ate big minutes and he changes the complexion of the Lightning power play with his shoot first mentality and ability to get pucks through and on net. Not to put too fine a point on it, but I think he's essentially running Barberio out of town for next season. They're similar players, but Nesterov's ceiling seems so much higher and he's already shown himself to be just as good, if not better, in his own third.
Vladislav Namestnikov played 11:36. He had one memorable rush where he slithered into the Panthers zone, but it was a quiet night for Namestnikov with Tyler Johnson returning and pushing him down off the line with Palat and Kucherov. Tonight was Namestnikov's 41st game of the season, so he graduated from prospect status on the website. Congratulations, Baby Faced Killer.

Evidence of contests intensifying came crystal clear in the MCC-Murugappa Gold Cup hockey tournament on Sunday. Nothing pointed to this more than SAIL, playing the tournament for the first time, notching up a 5-2 victory over last year's joint winner, Air India, in Pool B. What more, Air India led 2-1 at half-time.
SAIL's sizzling performance somewhat overshadowed the key contest between IOC and IOB in Pool A, in which the former emerged a 3-1, victor thanks to V.R. Raghunath's hat-trick.
From the opening day, the SAIL squad from Rourkela had caught the attention of the discerning followers for the quality it projected.
Strong in the fundamentals — the trapping has been outstanding — the team has built up its attack with commendable systematisation.
If poor finishing had robbed it of success in its earlier matches, the SAIL attack flourished on Sunday against the ageing Air India defence.
So incohesive was Air India's work in the mid-field that it was unable to hold on even to the 2-1 lead it had gained by half-time.
SAIL's chief motivating factor was the consistency of effort by the lithe Rajin Kandulna. He was everywhere on the field directing the attack, hitting penalty corners and defending the goal. His resilience and stamina were amazing indeed. He had scored in all the three matches, and notched up two goals on Sunday.
But the talking point of the day was Deepak Kullu's impeccable penalty corner hit which brought the team its fourth goal.
With three points from two matches, Air India has a hard task in hand to qualify for the semifinals.
SAIL has one match left against Indian Bank.
Persistent probing
For all the heroic work under the bar, goal-keeper Sreejesh eventually capitulated to the persistent probing in the second half by Deepak Thakur, Prabhjot Singh and Bharat.
Penalty corner hitter Raghunath profited from the defensive errors to transform the trend of the match.
IOB paid a heavy price for its emphasis on defending the lone goal secured in the first half.
Vinod Rayar did the spade work to which Shanmugam provided the finishing touches amidst spontaneous cheers from the big holiday crowd.
Sreejesh did well to smother the pressure in the first half during which IOC had five penalty corners — three of them came in succession in the final minute. Of the five in the second part, IOC emerged successful in three from Raghunath.
IOC has enhanced its chances of obtaining a semifinal berth with six points in two matches. The fight for the second berth could well by between IOB and Army in this pool.
PNB caused a flutter handing out a 2-1 defeat to BPCL. The defenders held the famed BPCL frontline in check almost throughout.
Jalwinder struck a brace for the winner, while Amar Ayaamma restricted the margin late in the match in Pool B.
The results:
Pool A: IOC 3 (V.R. Raghunath-3) bt IOB 1 (Shanmugam).
Pool B: SAIL 5 (Felix Baa-2, Rajin Kandulna-2, Deepak Kullu) bt Air India 2 (Somanna Pradhan, Sameer Dad).
PNB 2 (Jalwinder Singh-2) bt BPCL 1 (Amar Aiyamma).

On May 30, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit held that with regard to out-of-state state banks, federal law preempts Florida's prohibition on financial institutions settling checks for less than par value. Pereira v. Regions Bank, No. 13-10458, 2014 WL 2219166 (11th Cir. May 30, 2014). The ruling broadens a prior ruling that federal law preempts the same restriction with regard to national banks. Plaintiffs in this case filed suit on behalf of a putative class after the bank charged them a fee for cashing a check, claiming they received less than par value because of the bank's fee. Florida law prohibits a financial institution from settling "any check drawn on it otherwise than at par." The court explained that 12 U.S.C. 1831a(j) provides that the laws of a host state apply to any branch in the host state of an out-of-state state bank to the same extent as such state laws apply to a branch in the host state of an out-of-state national bank. The court held that, based on 12 U.S.C. 1831a(j) and the court's prior ruling regarding national bank preemption, the plaintiffs' claims were clearly preempted. The court explained that assuming the relevant Florida law would prohibit Florida branches of out-of-state state banks from charging a fee to cash a check presented in person, that law would apply "to the same extent" that it applies to out-of-state national banks, and as such, is preempted.

Von Hoff details CTI's new cancer drug development platform
SEATTLE, Nov. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Analysts, fund managers, and investors heard first-hand the progress and prospects of three of Cell Therapeutics, Inc.'s (CTI) (Nasdaq: CTIC and MTAX: CTIC) oncology drug candidates, as well as information on a drug CTI expects to acquire this year, from an international panel of clinical investigators at a Company-sponsored analyst day entitled "New Strategies, New Opportunities" in New York on Friday, November 9.
Leading off the meeting was oncology drug development expert Daniel D. Von Hoff, M.D., Physician-in-Chief of the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Arizona, and Chief Scientific Officer at U.S. Oncology. Dr. Von Hoff introduced the emerging platform of using clinical and genomic evaluation of tumors to guide oncology clinical trials as a method to increase the likelihood of success while potentially decreasing development time and expense. "Leveraging its unique relationship with TGen, through their acquisition of Systems Medicine, CTI is one of the first companies to adopt this strategy of onco-genomic guided clinical trials," noted Von Hoff. "This represents an exciting convergence of genomics, small inhibitors of RNA (SiRNA), bioinformatics, and cancer drug development. You have to admire CTI for quickly integrating these powerful tools to design current and future clinical trials like those being conducted or contemplated for brostallicin," Von Hoff said.

Americans may not feel like spending money on vacations, but advertisers are targeting them anyway, developing clever ads to lure business back to cities and airlines that have been smarting from the pinch of the recession.
In its latest creative move to attract travelers back to Las Vegas, Nev., which is among the major U.S. cities hit hardest by the recession, the city's tourism board has released a new ad confronting rumors that Las Vegas is deserted.
And Air New Zealand was willing to bare all if it meant enticing more consumers to buy tickets on its planes. The airline developed an ad that depicts the flight attendants dressed in nothing but body paint to promote just how serious they are about their no-hidden-fees policy.
"It's a fact that people have closed their pocketbooks," said Steve Hall, the editor of the marketing industry blog Adrants.com. "They're saving and listening to economic advisers who are saying do this and not that, and yet there are companies out there whose sole existence depends on people opening up their wallet, taking money out and giving it to them."
Click Here for the Latest Business Stories From ABC News
The desperation to stay out of the red has forced many companies to do whatever it takes to retain their customers and possibly attract new business, Hall said.
ABCNews.com took a closer look at some of the most original ways advertisers and companies are turning to desperate measures to promote their products -- and encourage consumer spending -- during the recession.
Las Vegas still has plenty of sin to go around; at least that's what the city's marketers would like consumers to think.
A new ad campaign released this month by Las Vegas Tourism revamps its old slogan "What Happens Here, Stays Here," and attempts to refute claims that nobody is interested in all that Sin City offers.
"All of the news coverage made it sound like things were closing down and we were boarding up the twon, and that's clearly not the case," said Betsy Ward, the director of communications for R&R Partners, the firm handling Las Vegas' advertising.
"We had to show, in a dramatic way, that regular people are coming here and having a blast," she said.
And dramatic it is.
The ad depicts faux television reporter Candace Newman delivering the news on the dismal reality of life in Las Vegas: Empty cabanas and pools where "the water's warm, but nobody's getting in."
But as soon as her broadcast ends, Newman strips down to a skimpy bikini and joins the revelers in the nearby pool.
"We decided to push back a little on the message that the sky is falling," Ward said. "Yes, things are tough but people still need a break and Las Vegas is the perfect place to do it."
Earlier this year, Las Vegas Tourism tried to alter the traditional image of the city by running ads that suggested travelers didn't have to be high-rollers to have a great Vegas experience.
A series of spots features all 358 residents of Cranfills Gap, Texas, traveling to Las Vegas for an all-expenses paid vacation, a ploy aiming to show that even small-town America can enjoy Vegas.
Air New Zealand staff members are baring it all -- for the sake of business, of course -- and they're not at all shy about doing it.

Queen of Babble
Title: Queen of Babble
Author: Meg Cabot
KDL Description:
Lizzie Nichols discovers that her inability to keep her mouth shut has landed her in hot water when she aggravates her unfaithful boyfriend, is stranded in London, and takes a job as a bartender for a catered wedding at a French chateau.
Queen of Babble Series
Amazon Description:
Lizzie Nichols has a problem: she can't keep anything to herself. And when she opens her big mouth on a trip to London, her good intentions get her long-distance beau, Andrew, in major hot water. Now she's stuck in England with no boyfriend and no place to stay until the departure date on her nonrefundable airline ticket. Fortunately, Lizzie's best friend and college roommate, Shari, is spending her summer catering weddings in a sixteenth-century château in southern France. Who cares if Lizzie's never traveled alone in her life and only speaks rudimentary French? She's off to Souillac to lend a helping hand!
One glimpse of gorgeous Château Mirac—and of gorgeous Luke, the son of the château's owner—and Lizzie's smitten. But thanks to her chronic inability to keep a secret, before the first cork has been popped Luke hates her, the bride is in tears, and Château Mirac is on the road to becoming a lipo-recovery spa. Add to that the arrival of ex-beau Andrew, who's looking for "closure" (or at least a loan), and everything—including Lizzie's shot at true love—is in la toilette . . . unless she can figure out some way to use her big mouth to save the day.

Anyone growing up on a staple diet of American legal drama TV series — LA Law, Ally McBeal, Practice to Boston Legal — will surely conjure up a litigious idea of America where people tend to sue at the drop of a hat. That too often on outrageous grounds. Remember Stella Liebeck's 'hot coffee' lawsuit against McDonald's in 1992?
The branch of law addressing "civil wrongs" with compensation ("damages") is called "Law of Torts". 'Defamation' is a "tort" and if it is verbal it is "slander". If in writing it is "libel". The "Tort Law" is extremely underdeveloped in our country. You can get an idea from the efforts made in 1986 by the Indian Government which chose Judge Keenan's District Court in the US to file a suit claiming compensation for the Bhopal Gas Leak victims. In retaliation, Carbide let loose Palkhivala's brilliant affidavit of hosannas for the Indian legal system. The US Court threw out India's suit and redirected parties to Bhopal!
The highest I have got a client in a defamation suit is Rs 5 lakhs! In fact, Indian cases rarely result in great damages. Such suits are also time consuming and often find diminished priorities, with the courts striving to short circuit the process by getting parties to settle.
It is against this backdrop that the interim order against TimesNow to deposit Rs100 crores in the defamation case filed by Justice PB Sawant for mistakenly carrying his mugshot for 15 seconds that has raised many an eyebrow in the legal fraternity.
Given the toothless tort remedy, many gravitate towards a criminal remedy — Section 499 of the Penal Code defines the offence of defamation as "by words, either spoken or intended to be read or by signs or by visible representations. Harm(ing) the reputation". This "harm" is an imputation which "in the estimation of others, lowers the moral or intellectual character…or lowers the character in respect of his caste or of his calling or lowers (his) credit". Section 500 makes this punishable with imprisonment upto two years and fine. There are several exceptions to defamation such as critique of a judgement or the actions of a public servant or a public performance and for public good.
Other reasons often weigh in favour of a criminal remedy. Its stigmatic, it involves an element of inconvenience — requirement to secure bail, facing a possible criminal detention and it is relatively inexpensive. Unlike in a civil case no court fees are involved.
Arvind Kejriwal's latest stunt has generated many a write up and I don't intend to top it. However, the Law Commission has sat up and decided to examine the issue of de-criminalisation of defamation.
As we hurtle towards the Shanghai model-via Gujarat, there is surely no better time than now to take stock of where Free Speech is headed in the Indian Republic. Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution ensures "freedom of speech and expression". Article 19(2) subjects this freedom to restrictions on account of national sovereignty, international relations, public order, morality, contempt of court, incitement of offence and defamation.
The criminal law of defamation brings with it the hazards of the criminal justice system. The complainant has to be present on each date or seek exemption; the accused has to seek and obtain bail. Most importantly, it brings along the stigma of being a "criminal accused". Kejriwal repeatedly cried foul about the system making him a criminal while the Purti pati was lording it over.
Several countries, over the years, have transitioned from a criminal defamation regime to a civil liability regime: Mexico, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Ghana, Ukraine and Romania to name a few. Russia — under Medvedev — had decriminalised the law in 2011. But Putin has now re-criminalised the law! Even Oscar's England has decriminalized "defamation" in 2009. Across the channel, France has also taken steps.
So while the "civilised" world takes steps to place "defamation" purely in the personal realm, in India this provision is readily invoked, many times to settle political scores or to overawe dissent. Is Gadkariji's stature more affected by his bariatric surgery than Kejriwal's jibes? Is the janata the ultimate judge in a democracy?
In power, our politicians are tempted to stifle dissent by jailing cartoonists for sedition or punishing authors with bans. And if the State apparatus is not at hand, the criminal machinery can always embroil the opponent in criminal litigation.
I do not for a minute advocate the shoot and scoot guerilla tactics of Kejriwal & Co. But I do feel that we have been presented with a wake up call which brings with it an opportunity to improve our justice dispensation system.
As the new Law Minister occupies the gaddi at Shastri Bhawan, the mantra I propose (and in Modi Sarkar I am told catchy slogans go a long way) is "Not More Judges but More Judgments". 'Certainty of Results' should be the core philosophy guiding all law reform. If we can assure the litigant and the offender alike, the "certainty of result", half the violations will melt away. If the offender knows that whatever be his wrong, the trial result is assured by X months, he would think twice before entangling with the law. In fact, in many nations plea bargaining is popular because the accused knows that the result of a trial is "certain" and possibly, if contested, would be harsher than what he gets through a plea bargain. In India the accused knows that his lawyer is equipped with magic and can transform a BMW into a truck! The accused knows that the trial can go on for ages and the appellate process for eons.
Therefore, even for defamation, there would be no need for a criminal option in case the civil law is strengthened and the litigant is assured a certainty of result and the possibility of securing a decent compensation within a reasonable time-frame.

When: 1/1/1970
Where: Graceland Too, The University of Mississippi
Organization:Elvis, Elvis Presley conference, Graceland Too, Paul MacLeod
Posted in: Elvis conference
It was an idea viewed with skepticism by some faculty members who felt Elvis, and the fandom that surrounded him, was tasteless and not worthy of intellectual discussion.
Fast-forward 20 years, and we live in a celebrity-obsessed nation that digests massive amounts of pop culture daily, often through blogs that chronicle the daily lives of stars.
Chadwick said the fact that Mississippi gave birth to the original king of pop culture, an iconic figure with worldwide reach, is something worth investigating. He hopes the university will reconsider, revive the conference and explore the influence of Elvis Presley.

Risk-free bond
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Risk free bond)
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)
A risk-free bond is a theoretical bond that repays interest and principal with absolute certainty. The rate of return would be the risk-free interest rate. In practice, government bonds are treated as risk-free bonds, as governments can raise taxes or indeed print money to repay their domestic currency debt.[1]
For instance, United States Treasury notes and United States Treasury bonds are considered risk-free bonds, even though investors in United States Treasury securities do face a negligible amount of credit risk. An example of this credit risk was shown by Russia, which defaulted on its domestic debt in 1998.
When hedging according to formulas like Black–Scholes a risk-free bond would be purchased (or sold) accordingly.

New Zealand Mountain Safety Council (MSC) endorsed Avalanche Courses
It is possible to spend a life time safely recreating in avalanche terrain but it takes skills and knowledge learnt through time in the hills and taking education courses.
The MSC have developed a range of courses from the entry level Avalanche Awareness course, through the recreational Backcountry Avalanche course to the Professional New Zealand Certificate in Avalanche Risk Management Stage 1, 2 , and 3. We have endorsed a number of training providers across NZ to deliver our recreational courses, and the Professional level courses are delivered by a number of tertiary providers around New Zealand which are all apart of Avalanche Educators Working Group. This helps to ensure the content and delivery of these courses is consistent, and based on the latest theory and techniques.
Click here to be taken to the endorsed course provider page
Avalanche course descriptions
Backcountry Avalanche :
The Backcountry Course is the next step in the development of observation, route finding and decision making skills that are critical for winter recreation in the mountains. It will give you the knowledge to travel and make sound safety decisions while in avalanche terrain. This is the course to take if you are intending to spend time in alpine terrain beyond the ski area boundary or in the parks and backcountry areas around New Zealand and the world.
New Zealand Certificate in Avalanche Risk Management Stage 1
This is an introductory professional course for people involved in the safety of alpine recreational activities and in the collection of snowpack data. It is the prerequisite for the Stage 2 course and the Diploma and a requirement for employment in many related areas including Ski Patrol, Guiding and Instruction.
Diploma in Avalanche Studies
This qualification will provide the outdoor snow sector with individuals who have the advanced skills and knowledge required to evaluate and manage avalanche risk to people and infrastructure while operating in dynamic outdoor contexts.It incorporates the New Zealand Certificate in Avalanche Risk Management Stage 2, which is a prerequisite for many professional leadership and decision-making roles in mountain terrain.

Tight security at KRS reservoir; train, vehicular traffic unaffected
Security has been tightened across Mandya district, especially at Krishnaraja Sagar (KRS) reservoir, following a "jail bharo" call given by the Mandya Zilla Raitha Hitharakshana Samiti against the release of Cauvery waters to Tamil Nadu.
Meanwhile, vehicular traffic on Bangalore-Mysore highway returned to normality on Tuesday with the protesters allowing vehicles to ply smoothly. Trains also ran as usual.
'Kara Nirakarane'
The samiti has threatened to hold "Kara Nirakarane Sathyagraha" as the Cauvery River Authority (CRA) "had failed" to safeguard the interests of the State farmers.
At a meeting here, the samiti urged people to participate in the satyagraha by refusing to pay excise tax, income tax, water cess, commercial tax, sales tax, land revenue, house tax and entertainment tax.
"We should hold 'Kara Nirakarane Sathyagraha' (refusal to pay tax) to pressure the Union government," the former MP and samiti president G. Madegowda said.
Tight security
The Mandya police have made elaborate security arrangements as the samiti has decided to lay a siege to the KRS dam on Wednesday. At least 20,000 farmers are expected to participate in the protest near KRS dam..
"We have kept ready one platoon each of Border Security Force (BSF) and Rapid Action Force (RAF) besides the Karnataka State Reserve Police (KSRP) and District Armed Reserve (DAR) platoons," A.N. Rajanna, Additional Superintendent of Police (Mandya), said on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, life returned to normality on Tuesday as the number of protests fell due to Gandhi Jayanti and the samiti leaders going to Bangalore to attend a meeting with regard to Cauvery agitation.
Members of the Women wing of Janata Dal (Secular), Sir M. Visvesvaraya Walkers Club, Bahujan Samaj Party, Hoysala Seva Karnataka, Aniketan Home for Elders, Sports Club, Akhila Karnataka Manava Hakkugala Horata Samiti, Karnataka Dalit Sangarsh Samiti, Ambareesh Fans Club, Mini Goods Carrier Vehicles Association, Vinayaka Geleyara Balaga, Kadamba Sainya, Nesra Trust and residents of Chikkegowdana Doddi, B.T. Lalita Nayak Layout, Hemmige and Soonaganahalli participated in protests.
Kalika Math seer Rishikumara Swami also participated in the "continuous protest" organised by the samiti.
Similar protests were held in Malavalli, Maddur, Pandavapura, Srirangapatna, K.R. Pet and Nagamangala taluks in the district.
No major roadblocks were reported. Farmers in small groups staged protests at Belagola, Gejjalagere, Kallahalli and at some other places.
Though less in number due to general holiday, shops and commercial establishments operated as usual.
Bus services
Even though buses attached to Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation's other divisions plied on Bangalore-Mysore highway, the Mandya division kept vehicles off the road due to fear of protests.
Water supply stopped
Members of the Mandya Zilla Raitha Hitharakshana Samiti barged into the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board's pumping station at Torekadanahalli in Malavalli and stopped water supply to Bangalore for nearly an hour.
However, they withdrew the protest as the water meant for Bangalore was flowing towards Tamil Nadu after they stopped the supply.
The protesters also blocked vehicular movement on Bangalore-Dindigul Highway for nearly two hours.
Meanwhile, tension prevailed for a while when a farmer attempted to commit suicide by hanging from a tree. The police and protesters managed to save him.
Supply to be hit today
Special Correspondent reports from Bangalore
Water supply to the entire city is likely to be affected on Wednesday
"If pumping stops even for a minute, it takes almost three hours for us to restore water supply as we have to restart almost 60 pumps," an official explained.
