Contractors defend their actions in Pa. collapse
PHILADELPHIA Two contractors involved in a downtown Philadelphia building collapse hurled blame at each other Tuesday, through lawyers who broke their clients' weeklong silence about the disaster that killed six.
Contractor Griffin Campbell's lawyer called him "despondent" but "absolutely not responsible" for the deaths. The lawyer for demolition subcontractor Sean Benschop said he was "a scapegoat" for the city's pain.
And each said it wasn't his client's idea to use heavy equipment to knock down a four-story brick wall, which collapsed onto an adjacent thrift store last week, burying 19 people inside.
"They had to blame somebody, so they picked the lowest person on the totem pole," said Benschop's lawyer, Daine Grey. "My client followed the directions he was given, 100 percent."
Hours earlier, lawyer Kenneth Edelin told reporters that Campbell was onsite with the building owner when the collapse occurred, but had only authorized the excavator to be used to remove debris, not to knock down the wall, which investigators said it was used for.
If that was done, Campbell never saw it, Edelin said.
"He was on the site, (but) he was not right there where the wall was, he was not right there where the excavator was," Edelin said.
But even the presence of Campbell and the building owner at the relatively small job site shows "they were much more hands-on than everybody thought," said lawyer Andrew Duffy, who represents some of the survivors who have filed lawsuits.
Campbell had bid $122,000 for the demolition job, then hired Benschop to help him. Benschop, 42, has been charged with six counts of involuntary manslaughter by prosecutors who said he had marijuana and painkillers in his system and was impaired when the building fell June 5. He also had a cast on his right hand due to a prior injury.
Campbell has more than 20 years in the construction business and four years in demolition, and hired Benschop because of his "extensive experience" in demolition, Edelin said.
Both men have criminal records. But Grey said his client had moved beyond a 15-year-old drug conviction, and counted the city of Philadelphia among his demolition customers.
"When he was originally arrested, everybody looked at him as a high former drug dealer who had no business being on the construction site. That's not the case. My client was an experienced contractor," said Grey, who said Benschop was fit to work that day. "The fact that you have a substance in your system does not mean you're impaired."
The six victims include a pair of 24-year-old artist friends out shopping together and a woman working her first day there.
A grand jury has been convened to investigate whether anyone else should face criminal charges. Campbell talked to police the day of the collapse but may not cooperate with the grand jury if he becomes a target, Edelin said.
Benschop, meanwhile, is being held without bail pending a June 26 court hearing.
According to Duffy, photographs and physical evidence of the site disprove any claim that heavy equipment was only being used to remove debris. A YouTube video taken the Sunday before the collapse shows a machine with a claw being used to knock down the facade, and bricks raining down on the open sidewalk.

Shipments of the iPad mini are expected to reach 8 million in 4Q12, reports DigiTimes.
Taiwan-based makers have prepared 10-12 million iPad mini's worth of components for shipping in the fourth quarter, the sources indicated. However, supplies of touch panels has been insufficient, the sources pointed out. Therefore, only eight million iPad minis are expected to be shipped in the quarter.
It's expected that as yield rates increase, iPad mini shipments could increase to 13 million units for 1Q13.

We couldn't end a snarky look at Canadian-developed video games without busting out this terrible little slice of shit again. Cel Damage was a 2001 multi-format release from Pseudo Interactive, of Ontario. It was a cartoon racer that took the unusual route of ensuring that nothing that even remotely qualified as 'racing' actually featured. In lieu of that, we were treated to piss-poor arena combat in cars. The whole thing resembles an Itchy and Scratchy episode, minus the blood leaking gore and entertainment value. You know how it is: 'Zany' personalities with 'no-nonsense attitudes' drive 'outrageous' vehicles and attempt to destroy each other using 'crazy' power-ups. The controls, the broken-ness, the repetitive nature of it all, the desperation to amuse, everything about Cel Damage will make your soul cry a little.

Blackwater Lodge: Retro Lodge Amidst Natural Splendor
The Lodge is very well organized for groups. My buddies and I arrived in various states of disrepair, and were quickly whisked to our rooms. The Lodge is a tad musty, but it is enjoyably "old modern" in a Truman / Eisenhower way. A recent addition containing a convention hall is less attractive than the rest.
The buffet dinner was rather ordinaire, but the canyon view from the dining room and half of the rooms is spectacular.
The Lodge is run by the State of West Virginia, and the following day an enthustastic ranger gave us an excellent bus tour with two well judged stops.
Cabins are available year round. No doubt the families who use them look like they stepped out of a Norman Rockwell illustration. As you can see in other users' pages, this is a popular place in the dead of Winter.

February 12, 2013 Dancing Surface Ads
Remember when Apple made ads depicting people dancing to the latest music playing from their iPod1? The message was express yourself by owning an iPod, and listening to your own soundtrack. The ads not only sold the iPod, they made Apple look cool. Now it is Microsoft's turn to promote their new line of Surface tablets. But instead of looking cool, the dancers in Microsoft's Surface ads are trying too hard. It is a like a North Korean propaganda parade meets an over choreographed flash mob. I get what Microsoft wants the ads to say. Be different. The Surface is different. This is not your ordinary kind of computing. Break free from business as usual. But instead of invoking an emotional response fueled by catchy tunes, Microsoft's ads left me feeling dazed and confused. Why are all those people dancing?!?!
Some people think Microsoft should let the Surface sell itself by showing off some of its features, but those ads never work.2 Can you remember the last time Apple showed off how an iPod worked? Already the placement of features like the stylus, and USB port in the second ad feel forced.3 It is ironic that during all this dancing Microsoft is showing off some really great ads that provoke an emotional response towards Internet Explorer. I just don't understand how one side of company can go this far astray, but I would like to think maybe this man is responsible.

Food from parts of Japan still banned
Publication Date : 28-04-2012
Singapore continues to ban food imports from eight Japanese prefectures more than a year after a tsunami and earthquake caused a nuclear disaster, even as Japan has placed stricter safety limits on foodstuffs sold.
But companies and restaurants in Singapore have found ways to cope with the ban, and are working with suppliers to source food from other parts of Japan.
For example, instead of Tokyo, one of the banned areas, they are buying tuna from Fukuoka, nearly 900km away.
They noted that while business dropped as much as 70 per cent a month after the quake, it has recovered relatively quickly.
"By about the third quarter of last year, our business was back to what it was in 2010 before the earthquake," said Ricky Ang, managing director of Kirei Japanese Food Supply. He has turned to the southern Japanese island of Kyushu for imports.
Last year, about 35,300 tonnes of food were imported from Japan, compared with 26,900 tonnes in 2010.
The March 11 earthquake and tsunami last year led to a radiation leak at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, which also affected nearby areas. Since then, the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) has banned imports of milk and milk products, seafood, meat, fruits and vegetables from Fukushima, Ibaraki, Tochigi and Gunma prefectures. Imports of fruits and vegetables from Chiba, Kanagawa, Tokyo and Saitama prefectures are also not allowed.
The AVA said these areas are deemed high risk as they are near the affected area.
It could not say how long the suspensions will last but its spokesman said it is monitoring the situation closely. It continues to test samples of foods from other parts of Japan to ensure they are safe for consumption. To date, it has tested more than 7,500 samples.
In Japan, stricter safety limits have been placed on foodstuffs this month. However, these have not significantly affected the amount of food that can be sold.
The amount of radioactive caesium in food has been a source of concern for consumers following the radiation leak.
But during the past few weeks, only about 160 samples of farm and fish products were found to have exceeded the new safety limits, despite the fact that they are much lower than before.
These samples accounted for only about 3 per cent of all the samples of farm and fish products tested around the country, and were concentrated in the eight prefectures near the stricken reactors, according to Japan's Agriculture Ministry.
The new safety limit for caesium is 100 becquerels per kilo - one-fifth of the previous standard - for general food items such as fish, rice, meat and vegetables.
The ceiling for milk and baby food has been set even lower at only 50 becquerels, or one-quarter of the old limit. The limit for drinking water is now 10 becquerels, or one-twentieth of the old guideline.
In contrast to the confusion in the first few weeks after the nuclear reactor disaster last year - which in a few instances resulted in foodstuffs that exceeded government radiation limits being unknowingly sent to market - the situation in Japan has now returned to normal. All food in circulation in the country is presumed to have cleared the safety guidelines put out by the government. There have been no reports of unsafe food being sold or consumed.
Tokyo Metropolitan University radiation expert Hiroki Ohtani said consumers should be confident about the new safety limits, which take into account age, gender and the amounts of food consumed.
Still, consumers are wary.
"As a precaution, my wife still buys food sourced only from areas unaffected by the nuclear disaster and we buy seafood that comes from overseas," said Singaporean Ken Foo, 34, who works in Tokyo's finance industry. His sons, aged five and seven, drink only bottled water.
In Singapore, Ronnie Chia, owner and chef at Japanese restaurant Tatsuya, said that although diners have returned, he continues to display a notice informing them of the origins of his ingredients.
"I want to give my customers peace of mind. Once they trust you, they will be confident that your food is safe," he said.

Farmers seek compensation for crop loss
The Water Resources Department officials have said that water can be released from the Malampuzha reservoir for paddy cultivation till January 31 only, though the farmers demand that water should be released till February 28 to save the standing crop.
The farmers said that they used to get water till March 31 for paddy cultivation in 50,000 acres in the ayacut areas of the Malampuzha irrigation project. But due to the failure of the last two monsoons, it was curtailed to January 31.
This would result in the destruction of crop in vast areas.
The officials said that water in the Malampuzha reservoir would last for distribution for another fortnight only and they were trying to extend distribution till January 31 by regulating supply.
In Mangalam dam
The officials said that water level in Mangalam Dam had also come down drastically and water could be released from it only till January 27.
From the Pothundy dam, water could be released till January 31, they added.
Meanwhile, the Desheeya Karshaka Samajam, a farmers' forum, has demanded compensation from the government for the loss of agriculture crops due to the shortage of irrigation water in the ayacut areas of Malampuzha, Chitturpuzha, Meenkara and Chulliyar irrigation projects in the district.
In a statement issued here on Saturday, samajam general secretary Muthalamthode Mani said that paddy crop was lost in vast areas due to shortage of water, causing huge losses to the farmersin the district.
The farmers have demanded a compensation of Rs.25,000 for loss of paddy per acre.

Get Real! Mansic is a band that plays for the art of punkrock and punkrock is attitude. It's a wroar of anger, of revolution, a howl for change!!! Most of the members in Mansic have a history in the anarchy movement and the belief that every human can be free, thinking creatures are still lurking in our minds.BiographyMansic started at the end 1999 as [sic] in a garage in a small town called Norrt�lje just outside Stockholm. The brothers Nizze and Micke decided to do something with their wasted spare time. The band released their demo, the self financed, 8 track CD �Waking Up� and in 2001 they went on a Poland tour before they knew what hit them. All the members weren�t into it enough so after a short trip to Holland and a couple of gigs Nizze made some rearrangements and changed the name to Mansic.
In the beginning Mansic had problems finding members suited for the mix between punk and folkmusic. Marcas followed Nizze from an old project of his called Nepente, and he recommended Clabbe from the folkmusic band De Osaligas Kapell for the base. Mansic was started and the hunt for a drummer started.
In 2002 Mansic went on a European tour. They called in Janne on the drums and Nizze played one of the guitars. Janne made a good job behind the drums but he never became close enough to the band. After the tour they tried out Emil for drums. He recorded the CD-R release �Punkrock Paperdoll�. Also in the band at the moment was Pontus, whose influences leaned more toward death metal. After an Open Air festival in Thalheim, Germany, Emil got kicked from the band and Pontus friend Lalle was called in. It worked for a while but the metal sound of the band was too distinct. So Pontus and Lalle resigned. Nizze was checking his memory and now the final step toward Mansic today was done; at first Clabbe had to change his instrument from base to guitar. Micke from old [sic] was asked to join and so even Jocke from Nepente. After just a few rehearsals everything was set.
They recorded the CD �Everyday is a Tragedy�, released on the very small Swedish DIY label Bug Records and went out on the European Punkrock Show 2003 tour just as it was released. It was only a month between the start of the recording and the beginning of the tour. Many of the songs were written just a couple of weeks before the studio session.In august 2003 Mansic were rewarded "Band of the month" from the Dutch radio show Punkhour.The last quarter of 2003 was a turn point for Mansic who now are signed by the U.S label Digitone Records for one album. Digitone Records will also distribute "Everyday is a Tragedy". The last december of 2004 Clabbe is taking a year off and El Norpo AKA Ove Sahlin is added to the line up as guitarist. Ove have been playing rock'n'roll in several constellations and wants to get back after some years in exil from the music. Started up in the band "Kronrock" in Sundsvall. During the 80's the played in "�l star blos b�nd" together with Jonas from Leathernun and Steve McW. During the 90's he played covers from the dirty 70's together with Robban (Protectors & Bombi Bitt), Petri (Nativein black) and Kenta (Rednex). And now... he is into some pure, dirty rock'n'rollpunk with Mansic.
Signed up with the German record label �Impact Records� and released the �Pig Iron� CD Although it was our first writing for many years it was too �metally� for us it didn�t cut the mustard. I think Metallica�s influence had something to do with it but also it was co-written by the whole band and not by Magoo and myself as it was in the early days.
Magoo and I started to throw ideas at each other for the �Scum� album and we took on Beef to give it some real bollocks.
Holidays in the Sun kicked off.
We were touring quite heavily to such places as the USA and Europe and we were enjoying it again, but Winston couldn�t handle it, the pressure was too much, he knew he had to leave. Jon Jon stepped in as part-time bass player. He had a act to follow but he did it with flying colours.
We recorded the �Scum Album� for a few quid, we couldn�t afford a lot of time in the studio so the album suffered, but it did mean that Magoo and I was writing again and getting back into Punk..
We returned to Yugoslavia to record the�Return to Yugoslavia� album but it didn�t have the same appeal, the Germans wanted to do it anyway.
Took on new drummer Danny, who with Jon Jon performed some more real class League antics���� which will be in the book that I am writing, along side all other infamous League stories to include :-
Magoo and dusty bin
Winston and the rude awakenings
PJ and the girl with the �lully� eye
The mystery of the New York flying dead cat
The southern black snack
Message in a bottle
And of course the famous Winston and Mr Whippy
Released �Out of Control� album which were all early rough demos of songs thrown out before �We are the League� its quite crappy but %#&!*%, ya have to start somewhere.
... and with the current line-up of Animal, PJ, Jez and Shady we are still playing a few shows around the world.
'Hardcore Storms America' Tour which was ANWL and UK Subs, it took us around the USA for about six weeks during which time we had been thrown off American Airlines (to cut a long funny story short) for touching up the air stewardess's, puking over fellow travelers and calling the captain an 'Old %#&!*%'(it was Charlie's fault) no sense of humour these yanks. The tour finished at the 'Peppermint Lounge' in New York which turned into a mass riot and we all ended up in the clap clinic.
We took on an extra guitarist, �Gilly� as Magoo was getting far to drunk to be able to play properly, seeing as we were going to Yugoslavia to record a live album. That even ran into trouble. The authorities in Yugoslavia would not release the tapes because we had made a few comments about their recently deceased President Tito. So that was hacked out the tapes before they could go to press, then as it was being pressed the police came down on us again and made us beep out all offensive words, (including a few �when�s�, it�s and ands) by now we couldn�t even fart without getting arrested. This was all now getting very boring, what the %#&!*% do we do now?
PJ quit the band during an American tour because of drink and drug pressures, we were spiralling out of control and we had lost our musical direction. Punk had finished for the time being and Heavy Metal was boring. We moved into areas of self indulgent CRAP inspired by amphetamines and dope. We started work on the �Perfect Crime� album.
We left our punk label and signed to GWR records, took on a new drummer �JB� and recorded the �Perfect Crime� album in the ICC Christian recording studios in Eastbourne ( I�ve been to Hastings and Brighton too) the album really did not get finished because when GWR heard the album in it�s rough cut and they refused to put any more money into it hence no professional producer and it was released in its rough cut to try and recoup some of the money they had invested. But I think we all realised it was a pile of %#&!*%.
Decided to do a one off farewell show in the Victoria Hall in our home town of �Tunbridge Wells�. It was record for a live album , I think called �Live & Loud� although the quality was rubbish, it did capture the moment. Thank you and Goodnight!!!!!!
As I waited on the edge of the stage waiting to go on it suddenly dawned on me I was just about to stand in front of 10,000 punters who didn�t know me from Adam and sing a song that I couldn�t %#&!*% remember����.all that kept running through my head was RUN you silly old %#&!*%.
After the show and chatting with Metallica they suggested the League get back on the road and do some shows. I had the bug again.
After riding for several years with various motorcycle gangs Magoo and I put together �The Anti Nowhere League� . Although Magoo had spent the whole of 1979 trying to teach me how to play guitar (Space Oddity I think) we came to the conclusion that I would never be able to play %#&!*% All so I might as well be the singer!! We collaborated with Bones (drummer) and Baggy Elvy (bass) to play a whole bunch of bad cover versions just for a laugh and to play live on Tunbridge Wells Common the same time as the annual Carnival was taking place , which we did and immediately got arrested, in the local rag the following week we hit the headlines by calling us a �Cacophony� of noise and so The League had arrived.
We had the band now all we needed was material, we looked no further than our own door step, disgusted from Tunbridge Wells was just about to get a kick up their 9 to 5, self righteous, middle class arse holes. In a very short space of time we were banned from all pubs and clubs and labelled The Anti Nowhere Conspiracy, toy town would never be the same again.
After parting company with Bones and Baggy, we joined forces with Winston Blake and PJ we were now ready to take on the world. We managed to wrangle an opening slot on the Apocalypse Punk Tour with The Exploited, Chron Gen and Anti Pasti. Punk promoter John Curd wanted a piece of the action and he signed us to his WXYZ record label and also co-managed us with Chris Gabrin who unbeknown to him drunk a pint of our piss on our first meeting.
After bribing Rat Scabies in a bog hole at some %#&!*% pub in the East End of London (two hundred quid I think) we got on a small tour up North with the Damned. We couldn�t afford hotels every night so we had to sleep in and under the van in the snow, but the Damned always fed us with their rider, which brings us to the famous carrot incident����.. Rat was giving it large in their dressing room after a show one night saying how he had seen all the rock and roll antics there was to see and nothing could shock him, Winston stood proud and bet Rat he could clear the dressing room within five minutes with just one antic. Rat took on the challenge, the dressing room was full of record company liggers, so Winston went to the food table pick up the largest object he could see which happened to be a 9 inch carrot, dropped his jeans and pants, dipped the carrot in mayonnaise, then in the pickle and then in the ketchup, he bent over and inserted the carrot right up his arse����he pumped it in and out a few times by now everyone was looking on in silence, he then removed it from his arse licked off the mayo, pickle, ketchup and %#&!*% dressing and ate the carrot. Rat said �Oh %#&!*% hell� and everybody ran out, we tucked into the rest of the food.
We were about to release �Streets of London� as our first single but couldn�t agree what to put on the flip side and as Magoo and I were sitting in a pub we listened in on a couple of bone heads having a conversation about things they had done. As one spoke the other was not listening and vice versa, so within five minutes we had wrote �So What� the perfect flip side. Little did we know it would become our anthem, the press had a field day with us.
By now we were in full flight, we toured the UK with the infamous 'So What' tour with bands such as Chelsea, Chron Gen and the Defects causing widespread offense to everyone, we were hated!. From Tony Blackburn to Mary Whitehouse everybody had a go, but we didn't give a %#&!*%, the illegal substances were flowing, our records were selling and I was promised a new Harley. Then bang, the obscene publication squad came down on us they seized all records from our offices and from our distributors, Faulty Products. The naughty boys had turned into criminals. It swept like wild fire, all our records were removed from shops and we were banned from radio and television, although during all this we did go to do a Top of the Pops appearance but when they found out I had bought a three foot axe up with me they would not let us go on, so we locked ourselves into a changing room and refused to leave until they paid us which they did and then escorted us off the premises, never to set foot in the BBC again..........they had their chance and they blew it, %#&!*% EM we were off to the states with the UK Subs.

Fantastic stuff-thanks:I made a mistake with Joe Strummer's followup band:they were Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros, and thier first CD was X Ray Style:the 2nd CD I dont have yet.But, I agree, the Clash were seriously underated in the UK in thier heyday.It's only now that they are appreciated.Now Joe's gone, that fantastic voice is foerever stilled.Let the Casbah Live on.
Though they never received the recognition they deserved, Squire was one of the earliest and finest mod-revival bands of the late '70s. Like the founders of the revival, the Jam, Squire were able to transcend the limits of the genre with their high quality blend of pop smarts and songcraft which drew equal parts from punk spirit and '60s sensibilities.
The band formed in Guildford, England around 1977 as a covers band consisting of Enzo Esposito (vocals/bass), Steve Baker (guitar), and Ross Di'Landa (drums). In June 1978, songwriter/guitarist Anthony Meynell joined just prior to a high-profile gig opening for the Jam. The addition of Meynell changed the band's focus to producing original material, and by 1979, they had released their first single for ROK Records, "Get Ready to Go." While the single gained them some airplay, their biggest break came with the newly termed mod-revival movement and their appearance on the legendary Mods Mayday album which featured two new songs by the band. Ian Page of Secret Affair (one of Squire's mod peers) had just started his own I-Spy label and signed the band on the merits of their app

The Jam emerged from the punk explosion of 1977, combining the energy of that movement with the musical values and styles of the previous generation's mod icons. The Jam: Sounds from the Street is the inside story of Paul Weller, Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler's rise to fame, their brief but momentous reign and their shocking decision to quit at the peak of their success.This authoritative chronology of the band's career weaves around an in-depth study of the band's entire musical legacy, including songs from their time as a four-piece and all the other tracks that comprised the pre-Polydor set list. Featuring exclusive contributions from Bruce Foxton, this is the essential account of one of Britain's best-loved rock groups.
Would you consider the Violent Femmes punk?� I love them to pieces, but I would say it is hard to classify them...
So go the lyrics to "Stiff Little Fingers" by the Vibrators, released in '77 as the b-side to their "London Girls" single.Left to right: Jake Burns, Henry Cluney, Brian Faloon, Ali McMordieMeanwhile in '77, Jake Burns-vocals and guitar, Henry Cluney-guitar, Gordon Blair-bass and Brian Faloon-drums, were in a cover band called Highway Star, in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Blair was soon replaced by Ali McMordie. (Gordon Blair joined the Belfast group Rudi.) Early in the year they saw the Clash play in Belfast, and were inspired to cut their hair and rename themselves after the Vibrators song. They started out playing covers of punk songs note for note. In November of '77, Gordon Ogilvie, a local journalist, caught their live show and was impressed. He encouraged them to write their own songs about what they knew best--life in Belfast. Jake came back twelve days later with "Suspect Device" and "Wasted Life". These were the first of what became SLF's signature style: lyrics that meld the personal and political, music that combines the energy of punk with infectious hooks, and delivery that rings of honesty and commitment. With Ogilvie's help, they released those two songs on their own Rigid Digits label, with an initial pressing of only 350. Ogilvie sent a copy to BBC Radio One DJ John Peel, who started playing it every night. The interest generated resulted in a distribution deal through Rough Trade in England. A local fanzine named Alternative Ulster asked the band to write a song specially for a giveaway flexi-disc. Although the plans for the flexi fell through, "Alternative Ulster" became the first single released by Rough Trade in October of '78. Jake once introduced it as "a song about having nothing to do." It became a punk rock classic. In the fall of '78, SLF toured the UK supporting the Tom Robinson band and gathered a solid following. That plus airplay by John Peel resulted in their first album, the now legendary Inflammable Material LP, debuting in the UK charts at #14. The album chronicles the band's anger and frustration at "the Troubles" in Northern Ireland, and calls on youth to create their own reality.Left to right: Henry Cluney, Jim Reilly, Jake Burns, Ali McMordieIn '79 the band moved to London and Brian Faloon decided not to go, which inspired the lyrics to "Wait and See". He was replaced by Jim Reilly who made his debut on the "Gotta Gettaway" single. In the spring they played on the Rock Against Racism tour. By the summer of 1979, SLF signed a deal with Chrysalis Records which included unusually broad artistic control by the band. They released the LP Nobody's Heroes in 1980. It combined the DIY ethic of the first album with more universal themes of alienation, anti-militarism, and anti-racism.

the band still exist, but it was their two first album that's really good, later on it became to much pop for my taste...
Not exactly old school punk, but punk just the same...
At their core, Green Day were simply punk revivalists, recharging the energy of speedy, catchy three-chord punk-pop songs. Though their music wasn't particularly innovative, they brought the sound of late-'70s punk to a new, younger generation with Dookie, their 1994 major-label debut. Green Day weren't able to sustain their success -- Dookie sold over eight million, while its follow-up, Insomniac, only sold a quarter of its predecessor -- yet their influence was far-reaching because they opened the doors for a flood of American neo-punk, punk metal, and third wave ska revivalists.
Green Day were part of the northern California underground punk scene. Childhood friends Billie Joe Armstrong (guitar, vocals) and Mike Dirnt (bass; born Mike Pritchard) formed their first band, Sweet Children, in Rodeo, CA, when they were 14 years old. By 1989, the group had added drummer Al Sobrante and changed its name to Green Day. That year, the band independently released its first EP, 1,000 Hours, which was well-received in the California hardcore punk scene. Soon, the group had signed a contract with the local independent label, Lookout. Green Day's first album, 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hour, was released later that year. Shortly after its release, the band replaced Sobrante with Tre Cool (born Frank Edwin Wright, III); Cool became the band's permanent drummer.
Throughout the early '90s, Green Day continued to cultivate a cult following, which only gained strength with the release of their second album, 1992's Kerplunk. The underground success of Kerplunk led to a wave of interest from major record labels; the band eventually decided to sign with Reprise. Dookie, Green Day's major-label debut, was released in the spring of 1994. Thanks to MTV support for the initial single, "Longview," Dookie became a major hit. The album continued to gain momentum throughout the summer, with the second single, "Basket Case," spending five weeks on the top of the American modern rock charts. At the end of the summer, the band stole the show at Woodstock '94, which helped the sales of Dookie increase. By the time the fourth single, "When I Come Around," began its seven-week stay at number one on the modern rock charts in early 1995, Dookie had sold over five million copies in the U.S. alone; it would eventually top eight million in America, selling over ten million copies internationally. Dookie also won the 1994 Grammy for Best Alternative Music Performance.
Green Day quickly followed Dookie with Insomniac in the fall of 1995; during the summer, they hit number one again on the modern rock charts with "J.A.R.," their contribution to the Angus soundtrack. Insomniac performed well initially, entering the U.S. charts at number two, and selling over two million copies by the spring of 1996, yet none of its singles -- including the radio favorite "Brain Stew/Jaded" -- were as popular as those from Dookie. In the spring of 1996, Green Day abruptly canceled a European tour, claiming exhaustion. Following the cancellation, the band spent the rest of the year resting and writing new material, issuing Nimrod in late 1997. Their long-awaited follow-up, Warning, was released three years later. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
The Dead Kennedys merged revolutionary politics with hardcore punk music and, in the process, became one of the defining hardcore bands. Often, they were more notable for their politics than their music, but that was part of their impact. The Kennedys were more inspired by British punk and the fiery, revolutionary-implied politics of the Sex Pistols than the artier tendencies of New York punk rockers. Under the direction of lead vocalist Jello Biafra, the Dead Kennedys became the most political and � to the eyes of many observers, including Christians and right-wing politicians � the most dangerous band in hardcore. By the mid-'80s, the band had become notorious enough to open themselves up to a prosecution for obscenity (concerning a poster inserted into their 1985 Frankenchrist album), and the ensuing court battle sped the band toward a breakup, but they left behind a legacy that influenced countless punk bands that followed.
The Dead Kennedys formed in 1978 in San Francisco when Biafra (vocals; born Eric Boucher) and bassist Klaus Flouride responded to a magazine ad placed by guitarist East Bay Ray. Drummer Ted (born Bruce Slesinger) joined soon after and the band played locally for the first two years of their career, occasionally venturing outside the Bay Area. Within a year, the band released their first independent single, "California �ber Alles," an attack on the then-current governor, Jerry Brown. It was followed shortly afterward by their second single, "Holiday in Cambodia." In 1979, Biafra ran for mayor of San Francisco; he finished fourth. By this time, the band had become quite popular in both the American and British underground. Finally, in 1980, the band released their debut album, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, on IRS Records. After its release, Ted left the band; he was replaced by drummer Darren H. Peligro.
Following the release of Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, the Dead Kennedys formed their own independent record label, Alternative Tentacles, in 1981. The first release on the label was the Kennedys' EP, <a href="http://w
Early in 1979, the Clash began their first American tour, entitled "Pearl Harbor '79." That summer, the band released the U.K.-only EP The Cost of Living, which featured a cover of the Bobby Fuller Four's "I Fought the Law." Following the later summer release of The Clash in America, the group set out on its second U.S. tour, hiring Mickey Gallagher of Ian Dury's Blockheads as a keyboardist. On both of their U.S. tours, the Clash had R&B acts like Bo Diddley, Sam & Dave, Lee Dorsey, and Screamin' Jay Hawkins support them, as well as neo-traditionalist country-rocker Joe Ely and the punk rockabilly band the Cramps. The choice of supporting acts indicated that the Clash were becoming fascinated with older rock & roll and all of its legends. That fascination became the driving force behind their breakthrough double album, London Calling. Produced by Guy Stevens, who formerly worked with Mott the Hoople, London Calling boasted an array of styles, ranging from rockabilly and New Orleans R&B to anthemic hard rock and reggae. Retailing at the price of a single album, the record debuted at number nine on the U.K. charts in late 1979 and climbed to number 27 on the U.S. charts in the spring of 1980.
The Clash successfully toured the U.S., the U.K., and Europe in early 1980, during which time the pseudo-documentary Rude Boy was released in England. During the summer, the band released the Dutch-only, dub-inflected single "Bankrobber," which they recorded with DJ Mikey Dread; by the fall, the British branch of CBS was forced to release the single due to popular demand. Shortly afterward, the band went to New York to begin the tension-filled, self-produced sessions for their follow-up to London Calling. In November, a U.S.-only EP of odds and ends entitled Black Market Clash was released. The following month, the triple-record set Sandinista! appeared in the U.K. and the U.S. The critical reaction to the album was decidedly mixed, with American critics reacting more favorably than their British counterparts. Furthermore, the band's audience in the U.K. was shrinking slightly -- Sandinista! was the first record the group released that sold more copies in the U.S. than the U.K.
After spending much of 1981 touring and resting, the Clash reconvened late in the year to record their fifth album, with producer Glyn Johns, a former engineer/producer for the Rolling Stones, Who, and Led Zeppelin. Headon left the band shortly after the sessions finished; the press statement said he parted with the group due to political differences, but it was later revealed that the split was due to his heavy drug use. The band replaced Headon with their old drummer, Terry Chimes, around the spring release of Combat Rock. The album was the Clash's most commercially successful effort, entering the U.K. charts at number two and climbing into the American Top Ten in early 1983, thanks to the Top Ten hit single "Rock the Casbah." During the fall of 1982, the Clash opened for the Who on their farewell tour. Though the tour helped Combat Rock scale the U.S. charts, the Clash were routinely booed off the stage on every date of the tour.
Although the Clash were at the height of their commercial powers in 1983, the band was beginning fall apart. Chimes was fired in the spring and was replaced by Pete Howard, formerly of Cold Fish. During the summer, the band headlined the U.S. Festival in California; it would be their last major appearance. In September, Joe Strummer and Paul Simonon fired Mick Jones because he "drifted apart from the original idea of the Clash." Jones formed Big Audio Dynamite the following year, while the Clash hired guitarists Vince White and Nick Sheppard to fill his vacancy. Throughout 1984, the band toured America and Europe, testing the new lineup. The revamped Clash finally released their first album, Cut the Crap, in November. The album was greeted with overwhelmingly poor reviews and sales; it would later be disowned by Strummer and Simonon.
Early in 1986, Strummer and Simonon decided to permanently disband the Clash. Several years later, Simonon formed the roots rock band Havana 3 A.M., which released only one album, in 1991; following the record's release, he concentrated on painting. After reuniting with Jones to write songs for Big Audio Dynamite's second album, 1986's No. 10 Upping Street, Strummer drifted between a musical and film career, appearing in Alex Cox's Straight to Hell (1986) and Jim Jarmusch's Mystery Train (1989). He also scored Permanent Record (1988) and Cox's Walker (1987). Strummer released a solo album, Earthquake Weather, in 1989. Shortly afterward, he joined the Pogues as a touring rhythm guitarist and vocalist. By 1991, he had quietly drifted away from the spotlight. For the remainder of the decade, Strummer was quiet, appearing on only one other recording -- Black Grape's 1996 Top Ten hit "England's Irie."
Though Strummer and Simonon were both quiet, and Jones was busy with various incarnations of Big Audio Dynamite, rumors of a Clash reunion continued to circulate throughout the '90s. When "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" appeared in a Levi's television commercial in 1992, the song was re-released in the U.K. by CBS, and it shot to number one, fueling reunion speculation. The rumors appeared again in 1995 and 1996, when the Sex Pistols decided to reunite, but the Clash remained quiet. Live: From Here to Eternity, assembling material recorded between 1978 and 1982, was released in 1999, shortly followed by the documentary film Westway to the World. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
The Sex Pistols may have been the first British punk rock band, but the Clash were the definitive British punk rockers. Where the Pistols were nihilistic, the Clash were fiery and idealistic, charged with righteousness and a leftist political ideology. From the outset, the band was more musically adventurous, expanding its hard rock & roll with reggae, dub, and rockabilly among other roots musics. Furthermore, they were blessed with two exceptional songwriters in Joe Strummer and Mick Jones, each with a distinctive voice and style. The Clash copped heavily from classic outlaw imagery, positioning themselves as rebels with a cause. As a result, they won a passionately devoted following on both sides of the Atlantic. While they became rock & roll heroes in the U.K., second only to the Jam in terms of popularity, it took the Clash several years to break into the American market, and when they finally did in 1982, they imploded several months later. Though the Clash never became the superstars they always threatened to become, they restored passion and protest to rock & roll. For a while, they really did seem like "the only band that mattered."
For a band that constantly sang about revolution and the working class, the Clash had surprisingly traditional roots. Joe Strummer (born John Graham Mellor, August 21, 1952) had spent most of his childhood in boarding school. By the time he was in his early twenties, he had busked on the streets of London and had formed a pub rock band called the 101'ers. Around the same time, Mick Jones (born June 26, 1955) was leading a hard rock group called the London SS. Unlike Strummer, Jones came from a working-class background in Brixton. Throughout his teens, he was fascinated with rock & roll, and he had formed the London SS with the intent of replicating the hard-driving sound of Mott the Hoople and Faces. Jones' childhood friend Paul Simonon (born December 15, 1956) joined the group as a bassist in 1976 after hearing the Sex Pistols; he replaced Tony James, who would later join Generation X and Sigue Sigue Sputnik. At the time, the band also featured drummer Tory Crimes (born Terry Chimes), who had recently replaced Topper Headon (born Nicky Headon, May 30, 1955). After witnessing the Sex Pistols in concert, Joe Strummer decided to break up the 101'ers in early 1976 in order to pursue a new, harder-edged musical direction. He left the band just before their first single, "Keys to Your Heart," was released. Along with fellow 101'er guitarist Keith Levene, Strummer joined the revamped London SS, now renamed the Clash.
The Clash performed its first concert in the summer of 1976, supporting the Sex Pistols in London. Levene left the band shortly afterward. Hiring as their manager Bernard Rhodes, a former business associate of Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren, the Clash set out on the Pistols' notorious Anarchy Tour late in 1976. Though only three concerts were performed on the tour, it nevertheless raised the Clash's profile and the band secured a record contract in February of 1977 with British CBS. Over the course of three weekends, the group recorded their debut album. Once the sessions were completed, Terry Chimes left the group, and Headon came aboard as the band's drummer. In the spring, the Clash's first single, "White Riot," and eponymous debut album were released to great critical acclaim and sales in the U.K., peaking at number 12 on the charts. The American division of CBS decided The Clash wasn't fit for radio play, so it decided to not release the album. The import of the record became the largest-selling import of all time. Shortly after the U.K. release of The Clash, the band set out on the whirlwind White Riot tour supported by the Jam and the Buzzcocks; the tour was highlighted by a date at London's Rainbow Theatre, when the audience tore the seats out of the venue. During the White Riot tour, CBS pulled "Remote Control" off the album as a single, and as a response, the Clash recorded "Complete Control" with reggae icon Lee "Scratch" Perry.
Throughout 1977, Strummer and Jones were in and out of jail for a myriad of minor indiscretions, ranging from vandalism to stealing a pillowcase, while Simonon and Headon were arrested for shooting racing pigeons with an air gun. The Clash's outlaw image was bolstered considerably by such events, but the band also began to branch out into social activism, such as headlining a Rock Against Racism concert. Released in the summer of 1978, the single "(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais" demonstrated the band's growing social consciousness. Shortly after the single peaked at number 32, the Clash began working on their second album with producer Sandy Pearlman, a former member of Blue �yster Cult. Pearlman gave Give 'Em Enough Rope a clean but powerful sound designed to break the American market. While that didn't happen -- the album peaked at 128 on the U.S. charts in the spring of 1979 -- the record became an enormous hit in Britain, debuting at number two on the charts.
The enduring L.A. punk band Social Distortion has overcome numerous personnel shifts, the demise of the Los Angeles hardcore scene that spawned them, and the heroin addiction of singer/guitarist/bandleader Mike Ness to achieve a measure mainstream acceptance for their rootsy, hard-hitting punk without compromise. Inspired by the fertile L.A. punk scene, Ness formed the group in 1978 with drummer Casey Royer and brothers Frank (bass) and Rikk Agnew (guitar). When the brothers left to join the Adolescents, Ness' schoolmate Dennis Danell joined on bass; the next few years saw a revolving-door membership. When the group finally recorded its debut album, Mommy's Little Monster in 1983, the band consisted of Ness, Danell (now on guitar), bassist Brent Liles, and drummer Derek O'Brien. Their music was often described as a punk version of the Rolling Stones, and "Another State of Mind" was one of the few punk videos to air on MTV in 1984. However, the band took four years to record a follow-up, as Ness descended into heroin addiction and self-consciously rebellious behavior. Liles and O'Brien left, and Ness, after straightening himself out, finally regrouped in 1988 with John Maurer on bass and Chris Reece on drums. This lineup recorded Prison Bound, a mature album broadening Social Distortion's roots rock influences with a country feel. Their self-titled 1990 effort included a cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" and returned the group to MTV via "Ball and Chain." Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell became their most popular album to date, producing a minor radio hit in "Bad Luck" and keeping with their now-established blend of punk, blues, country, and rockabilly.
Social Distortion took an extended hiatus following the release of Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell, returning in 1996 with White Light, White Heat, White Trash, which proved to be a moderate hit on MTV and modern-rock radio; former Black Flag and D.O.A. drummer Chuck Biscuits made his debut on the album, following the departure of Reece. Live at the Roxy followed in 1998, and a year later Ness issued a pair of solo albums, Cheating at Solitaire and the covers collection Under the Influences. Danell died February 29, 2000 of an apparent brain aneurysm; the guitarist was just 38-years-old. In the fall of 2000, Jonny Wickersham signed on as the group's new guitarist, and Charlie Quintana took over on drums from the often busy Biscuits. After extensive touring, the band went back into the studio in 2004 to record Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
Formed in 1979 by Black Flag vocalist Keith Morris and Redd Kross guitarist Greg Hetson, the Circle Jerks combined the rebelliousness of the Sex Pistols and Ramones with the aggressive athletic elements of the surfer/skateboarder crowd from Hermosa Beach. This coastal city just south of Los Angeles ignited the initial explosion of hardcore bands. Including bassist Roger Rogerson and drummer Lucky Lehrer, the band recorded their debut album, Group Sex, in 1980 on Frontier Records. Containing 14 tracks, the songs ranged in length from 1:35 to 27 seconds, taking the hyper blast of punk to the next extreme. With the release of the album, an appearance in the documentary film about L.A. punk The Decline of Western Civilization, and their incendiary live performances, the group's stature was assured in the budding hardcore community.
Their second LP, 1982's Wild in the Streets, continued the intensity while injecting a humorous slant into the music by covering '60s pop hits "Just Like Me"/"Put a Little Love in Your Heart," applied with their slamdancing aggression. The joke was expanded on Golden Shower of Hits, their third album, released in 1983. The second time around they tackled "Along Comes Mary," "Afternoon Delight," "Having My Baby," and "Love Will Keep Us Together." Golden Shower also marked the incorporation of a few longer songs that hovered around the three-minute mark, including "Under the Gun," "High Price on Our Heads," and "Rats of Reality." At this point the band took a two-year break, which found Hetson joining the newly formed Bad Religion, taking on guitar duties for both bands well into the next decade.
In 1985 the Circle Jerks returned with two new bandmembers, Keith Clark on drums and bassist Zander Schloss, releasing the metal-tinged Wonderful album on the Combat label. The group's new approach received mixed reviews, as their hard and fast thrash was slowed down and replaced by an explicit hard rock thump, which carried over to their next Combat release in 1987, VI. The band kept a low profile into the '90s, with the only Circle Jerks record being the 1992 anthology of concert performances titled Gig. By 1995, the band released its first new studio album in eight years, Oddities, Abnormalities and Curiosities, their major-label debut on Mercury. A highlight among the 12 tracks was a cover version of the Soft Boys' "I Wanna Destroy You," featuring a truly odd vocal appearance by Circle Jerks' fan Debbie Gibson, who would sporadically show up at gigs and perform the song with the band!
By 1996 the years of rough touring caught up with the bandmembers and once again they went on hiatus. Morris in particular had been plagued by serious health problems, including a back injury that forced him to wear a brace, colon and stomach problems including appendicitis, and a 1999 diagnosis of adult onset diabetes. Since Morris had no health insurance, benefits were held to curtail his enormous medical bills, allowing the now dreadlocked lead singer to begin recuperating. In 2003 Morris was well enough to play live gigs with his spoken word jazz-punk ensemble Midget Handjob, and also tour with the Circle Jerks and the Rollins Band. An appearance on the Henry Rollins' orchestrated benefit album Rise Above: 24 Black Flag Songs to Benefit the West Memphis Three would bring Morris full circle with a performance of "Nervous Breakdown," a track he initially recorded in 1978 with the first incarnation of Black Flag. ~ Al Campbell, All Music Guide
how about Fear, X, Black Flag?
One of the cornerstone bands of the '90s punk revival, Rancid's unabashedly classicist sound drew heavily from the Clash's early records, echoing their left-leaning politics and fascination with ska, while adding a bit of post-hardcore crunch. While some critics dismissed Rancid as derivative, others praised their political commitment, surging energy, and undeniable way with a hook. And, regardless of critical debate over their significance, the band's strengths made them perhaps the most popular neo-punk band after Green Day and the Offspring. Their third album, 1995's ...And Out Come the Wolves, made them a platinum-selling sensation and an inescapable presence on MTV and modern rock radio. While they never translated that success into an enormous blockbuster record (like the aforementioned bands who hit the mainstream first), that wasn't necessarily their ambition, choosing to stay with the independent punk label Epitaph and the creative freedom it allowed them. That decision helped them retain a large, devoted core audience as revivalist punk-pop began to slip off the mainstream's musical radar.
Rancid were formed in 1991 by San Francisco Bay Area punk scenesters Tim Armstrong (guitar/vocals) and Matt Freeman (bass). Lifelong friends and longtime punk fans, the two had grown up together in the small, working-class town of Albany, near Berkeley; they'd also played together in the legendary ska-punk band Operation Ivy, Armstrong as "Lint" and Freeman as Matt McCall. After Op Ivy disbanded in 1989, Armstrong and Freeman spent a few weeks in the ska-punk outfit Dance Hall Crashers, as well as Downfall; Freeman later briefly joined the hardcore band MDC. Meanwhile, Armstrong was waging a battle with alcoholism (but, fortunately, winning), and to help keep his friend occupied, Freeman suggested they escape their day jobs by forming a new band, which became Rancid. The duo added drummer Brett Reed, Armstrong's roommate and a familiar presence on the Gilman Street scene where Operation Ivy had cut their teeth. Just a couple of months later, Rancid were performing live around the area, and in 1992 they released a five-song debut EP on Lookout! Records.
The EP caught the attention of Brett Gurewitz and his well-respected Epitaph label, which signed Rancid to a highly favorable contract guaranteeing them a generous amount of creative control. The band's eponymously titled, first full-length album arrived in 1993, pursuing an up-tempo, hardcore/skatepunk style with few hints of early British punk. Rancid had been seeking a second guitarist, and Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong even played live with the group at one show. They pursued Lars Frederiksen, a Bay Area resident who'd joined a later incarnation of U.K. Subs and was performing with the band Slip; Frederiksen initially declined Rancid's invitation to join, but when Slip disbanded, he quickly changed his mind and came along on Rancid's first tour. Frederiksen made his recording debut on the early-1994 EP Radio Radio Radio, a side dalliance on Fat Wreck Chords. Released later that year, Let's Go was the album that made Rancid's name in the punk underground. It marked the beginnings of their fascination with the 1977-era London punk scene, particularly the Clash, and it also provided their first widespread exposure when MTV picked up on the video for the single "Salvation." Let's Go quickly went gold, and with the breakout mainstream success of Green Day and the Offspring that year, major-label interest in Rancid quickly escalated into a full-fledged bidding war (even Madonna's Maverick imprint got in on the action). Ultimately, Rancid decided that no major could offer them the level of decision-making power that Epitaph had given them, and stayed right where they were.
Rancid scored a major success with their next album, 1995's ...And Out Come the Wolves, whose title was a reference to the near-predatory interest in signing the band. The Clash fetish was even more pronounced, augmented with a greater interest in the original Two-Tone ska revival the Clash had helped influence (bands like the Specials). "Ruby Soho" was a major MTV and radio hit, and "Time Bomb" and "Roots Radicals" were hits in their own right. The album went platinum and made Rancid one of the most visible punk bands around. They played the 1996 Lollapalooza Tour, and afterward took a short break, their first since becoming a quartet. During that time, Freeman played with former X singer Exene Cervenka in Auntie Christ, while Armstrong set up the Epitaph subsidiary Hellcat; he and Frederiksen both began doing production work for other bands they hoped to spotlight.
Rancid returned in 1998 with the even more ska-heavy Life Won't Wait, a guest-star-loaded affair that featured members of ska bands the Specials and Hepcat, Dicky Barrett of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, dancehall reggae star Buju Banton, and Agnostic Front vocalist Roger Miret. While it didn't cross over on the level of ...And Out Come the Wolves, it demonstrated that Rancid retained a substantial fan base. For the 2000 follow-up, their second self-titled release, the group largely scrapped its ska-punk side, recording a visceral, hardcore-influenced album that blasted through 22 songs in under 40 minutes (in contrast to its two lengthy predecessors). Perhaps for that reason, Rancid received a highly positive response from the punk community.
that was quite a lot you got there Jonathan, i'll try to come back to the rest, but i could add that B52, like for example DEVO are more new wave than punx, or as the devolutionaries called it no wave... i think there good though, B52's hot lava or rock lobster, or DEVOS satisfaction or uncontrolabal urge... great tunes...
I forgot to add The Mother of Invention to my previous list and of course the Fuggs.

For the first time in Indian sporting history, every medal winner at the National Games will receive a cash reward. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has already directed the organising committee of the 35th edition of the Games, to be held in Kerala, to set aside a corpus of Rs 50 crore for the same. And once the committee approves the proposal, every gold medallist will pocket Rs 25 lakh. A cool Rs 17 lakh purse awaits silver medallist, while bronze medallists will take home Rs 12.5 lakh.
All these years, the Union sports ministry used to reward athletes who won medals at big events like the Asian and Commonwealth Games. The medal winners at these events were given Rs 20 lakh (gold), Rs 10 lakh (silver) and Rs 6 lakh (bronze). Olympic medal winners, of course, got much more.
dna has learnt that the proposal to set up the corpus came up for discussion during the first executive committee meeting of the newly-elected office-bearers in the Capital last month. Several other issues were also discussed during the meeting.
IOA secretary general Rajeev Mehta revealed that the cash awards would not just be "restricted to the medal winners". "Even those athletes who finish inside the top five will be rewarded. The IOA has asked the Kerala National Games Organising Committee to set aside a pool of Rs 50 crore for medal winners. This has been done to encourage our athletes," said Mehta.
Another important decision taken at the meeting is that "the IOA has made it mandatory for the National Games Organising Committee to accept entries in only those sporting disciplines which have been recognised by the IOA". "There are 31 disciplines which have been recognised by IOA Charter. The Kerala Games organisers have been told to accept entries only in those disciplines," added Mehta.
It must be mentioned here that the last National Games were held in Ranchi in 2011 after a long delay. It was postponed at least six times. And the 35th edition has already seen many postponements.
This is the main reason why IOA has already accepted the Uttar Pradesh Olympic Association's (UPOA) proposal to host the National Games in 2016. UPOA had also moved the proposal earlier to show its interest in holding 35th edition of the Games due to the Kerala government's lackadaisical approach.

Final Score: Nebraska 79, Wake Forest 63
Winston-Salem, NC (Sports Network) - Andre Almeida and Ray Gallegos netted 20 points each as the Nebraska Cornhuskers ran off to a 79-63 win over the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in an ACC/Big Ten Challenge matchup at Joel Coliseum.
Almeida also notched a double-double by grabbing a game-high 11 rebounds as Nebraska (5-1) bounced back from its first loss of the season. Dylan Talley went just 4-of-16 from the floor, but still managed to provide 14 points and eight rebounds. Brandon Ubel chipped in 11 points before fouling out in just 18 minutes of action.
Madison Jones came off the bench for Wake Forest (3-3) to score a team-high 14 points. Codi Miller-McIntyre scored 11 points as the Demon Deacons brief two- game winning streak ended. Travis McKie and C.J. Harris were both bottled up by the Cornhuskers, as they combined to make only 3-of-17 field goal attempts in the contest. McKie was able to pull down a team-best seven boards.
Although Nebraska led for most of the first half, the game stayed close as it shot only 39.3 percent from the floor. The Demon Deacons went into the intermission trailing 28-24 after they made only 32.1 percent of their field goal attempts. Wake Forest received a boost as its bench outscored the Cornhuskers' reserves by 12 points in the opening 20 minutes.
Nebraska stayed in control after the break and led by a double-digit margin for the final 13:19 of the contest. Wake Forest was unable to overcome the deficit despite shooting 53.6 percent from the field in the second stanza. The Cornhuskers kept the home team trailing on the scoreboard by draining 62.1 percent of their field goal attempts and 12-of-16 at the charity stripe in the final 20 minutes of action.
Nebraska avenged its two-point loss to the Demon Deacons in this event last season by owning a 36-30 advantage in the rebounding battle. Wake Forest was unable to overcome its poor 3-of-16 shooting performance from beyond the arc.

Entrepreneurs Showcase the Best in Russian and Ukrainian Start-Ups at Silicon Valley Technology Investment Conference.
PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Silicon Valley Open Doors (SVOD), the annual two-day technology investment conference hosted by the American Business Association of Russian Professionals (AmBAR), began today at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.
SVOD has become a premier industry showcase for entrepreneurs from the Former Soviet Union, bringing together more than 300 innovators from Russia and the Ukraine with prominent Silicon Valley venture capital firms, leading technology and business media and top US technology companies.
"With interest in the economic opportunities being created in the BRIC markets (Brazil, Russia, India and China) at an all time high, start-ups from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) countries have been thrust into the spotlight," said Vera Shokina, President of AmBAR and vice president at Silicon Valley Bank. "The quality of those opportunities is reflected in the quality of presented projects, as well as in the caliber of speakers and investors participating at this year's event."
2007 is a seminal year in the development of the Russian venture industry. In 2006, the Government of the Russian Federation government created the Russian Venture Company (RVC), a fund of venture capital funds, whose charter is to foster technology entrepreneurship in the country. At SVOD the Russian government will announce a significant increase in the funds now available to investment partners through RVC from US$600 million to more than US$1.25 billion. Simultaneously, RVC's responsibilities for promoting partnership with the Silicon Valley venture capital community have been expanded. "There is enough venture capital money on the Russian start-up market," said Yan Ruazantsev, RVC Investment Director. "We are looking for talents to boost the innovation of economy and let Russia break into the global high-tech market."
"SVOD has become a critical venue for connecting entrepreneurs and fund managers from the FSU with venture capitalists in Silicon Valley," said Dr. Evgeny Zaytsev, AmBAR Director and Partner at Asset Management Company. "We're witnessing a historic event at SVOD: the creation of a new fabric of trans-Atlantic technology cooperation."
Speakers at SVOD 2007 include: Franklin "Pitch" Johnson, Founding Partner of Asset Management Company; Andy Mattes, Senior Vice President and Chief Sales Officer, Technology Solutions Group, Hewlett-Packard; Ron Moritz, Managing Director, Moritz Technology Corporation (former Senior Vice President and CTO, Symantec Corporation); Kip Knight, Vice President of Marketing, eBay; Don Wood, Managing Director, Draper Fisher Jurvetson; Will Price, Managing Director, Hummer Winblad Venture Partners; and Peter Buhl, Partner, Blue Run Ventures.
The SVOD 2007 program features seminars and panel discussions by industry experts in information technology, biotech, security, business services, the formation of high-tech ventures, IP protection, talent management, recruiting, product launch and marketing strategies, and raising venture capital. A selected group of 16 start-ups, founded by the entrepreneurs originally from the FSU countries, will showcase their technologies and business plans to a panel of prominent Silicon Valley venture capitalists from such prominent Silicon Valley firms as Woodside Capital Partners, Pitango Venture Capital, Institutional Venture Partners, Alloy Ventures, Canaan Partners, New Enterprise Associates, Intel Capital, Opus Capital, and Charles River Ventures.
For additional information about SVOD or to register please visit the conference website at www.svod.org.
AmBAR is a non-profit business association of entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, engineers, lawyers and other professionals with headquarters in Silicon Valley. Started as an organization of expatriates from Russia, Ukraine and other former Soviet Union countries that were involved in technology businesses in the United States, AmBAR has grown into a large network in which innovators and entrepreneurs of all origin can exchange ideas and business contacts. Today AmBAR's membership base consists of more than 1,800 business professionals.
AmBAR creates a unique platform to facilitate the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and business contacts between technology entrepreneurs, professionals, and investors. The organization is also dedicated to accelerating access to capital for innovative projects and developing technology partnerships between Russia, Ukraine and other FSU countries and the United States.
