Fury in Pakistan's Quetta as Officials Shift Blame for Bombing
Shi'ites Urge Military Takeover of City Security
The massive weekend bombing in the Pakistani city of Quetta has left not only a major death toll, but anger in the streets and in government buildings, where officials struggle to shift blame for the attack.
Balochistan Governor Nawab Magsi blamed the attack on intelligence agencies, accusing them of being "too scared or too clueless" to stop the attack. Magsi was given huge amounts of extra authority after the last attack, however, and many are blaming him for not stopping the strike.
The Lashkar-e Jhangvi (LeJ) claimed credit for the attack and the group, whose entire existence centers around attacking Shi'ites, seems to be able to carry out such attacks with virtual impunity, leading to speculation that the government doesn't really want to stop them.
Shi'ite protesters in Quetta, sick of the constant barrage of attacks, have urged the military to step up and take over direct security in the city, convinced that the local police simply are unable or unwilling to do so.
Though this is unlikely in the near term, the continued anger may well be reflected in the next elections, scheduled for April, in which the ruling party and other mainstays of Pakistani policies will try to explain why their security plans haven't stopped sectarian violence, and why voters should choose them over newer parties with different plans.

There it was, for all the Sunday morning shows to dissect, analyze and digest -- Bobby Valentine answering boos by touching the brim of his hat on his way back from making another unsavory pitching change.
What message was he sending? Could he be firing back at his critics? Was his hat falling off his head?
Or maybe Valentine was saying subtly the same thing he had after having to weather previous uncomfortable walks back to the dugout this season -- "I would boo myself, too."
Nothing more complicated than that. Just like it wasn't any big mystery what Valentine had to do during that Saturday debacle. Pitchers weren't getting outs, so he was forced to take them out. That's how it works. And even the one move that had some room for interpretation -- taking out starter Felix Doubront after 99 pitches -- could hardly be criticized with much gusto. The Red Sox were ahead 9-1 and, as the manager correctly pointed out, Doubront's fastball velocity had dropped by three mph.
Every other manager would have done what Valentine did Saturday. It's just that every other manager isn't Valentine.
A late-night Toronto radio show asked the question Sunday: Would the Boston fans ever accept Bobby Valentine? It's a good question. If the Red Sox won every game on their current road trip, putting their first five-game losing streak at home in six seasons behind them, what would the reception for the manager be like then? Put it this way, the boos aren't going to be pushed aside easily. But that is because, more so than with the case of any other manager, the imperfections will always be identified -- whether it's with the team he is managing or the words he is saying.
In his latest appearance on WHDH's Sports Xtra Sunday night, Valentine was explaining how he went around the clubhouse to each player in an effort to gauge the players' moods. Cody Ross was smiling. Check. David Ortiz seemed OK. Check. Dustin Pedroia? Well, according to Valentine he was taking things pretty hard, as he is known to do. But that partly stemmed from, according to the manager, lingering effects of 2011. Ugh! So close, yet so far away.
But enough already.
So, Valentine continues to offer up fodder for those trying to suggest he is the be-all, end-all for this Red Sox start. It's a lay-up for some, just like the beer and the chicken were in October. Symbolism. People love symbolism. You know what's not nearly as convenient to comprehend? The fact that one of the biggest problems is a pitcher who is no longer on the team.
Do yourself a favor and understand that there are a lot of reasons the Red Sox have found themselves in this predicament, but Valentine shouldn't top your checklist. Unfortunately for the manager, he has been forced to evolve, learn and adjust in an environment where everybody wants quick fixes. But if you are looking for top dogs when it comes to where this is all trickling down from, start with the players … Mark Melancon, for instance.
Melancon was one of the most well-meaning, best-intentioned players on the Red Sox before his demotion. It was well-documented how little sleep he got after each of his four outings with the Red Sox, a run that produced 11 runs, 10 hits and just six outs. And the righty has shown signs of life in Pawtucket, where he has allowed no runs and just two hits over 2 1/3 innings, striking out three and not walking a batter.
But if Melancon was the pitcher the Red Sox acquired him to be, there would be no Yankees comeback Saturday. If Melancon was the pitcher the Red Sox had banked on when shipping Jed Lowrie and Kyle Weiland to Houston for him, the bullpen doesn't have a major league-worst 8.44 ERA. If Melancon is the Melancon the Red Sox were banking on, Valentine would have been booed at least two fewer times.
Yes, at this point in time, one pitcher should be saddled with more of the blame for what is going on than Valentine. That doesn't mean Melancon won't come back and help, or that he should be Buckner-ized. But what the reality should do is offer a reminder that there are far more important issues for the Red Sox to deal with than the manager making verbal missteps.
And that isn't the only myth that needs to be busted …
Believe it or not, the Red Sox have the pieces to fix things. The offense kept falling behind, but on Saturday it showed the ability to be the kind of threat (even without some key elements) that many anticipated. The starters? Other than Clay Buchholz's curious start, each has shown enough promise that suggests there will be far more good than bad.
And then there is the bullpen.
Alfredo Aceves could still be a legitimate closer, or, at the very least, a late-inning threat. Leading into his horror show of a performance Saturday, the righty had gone three straight outings without giving up a hit while watching his velocity reach levels he hadn't seen since his late teens. But what that Saturday outing, along with his first two appearances, offered were reminders that consistency isn't this group's strong suit right now. This isn't a Jonathan Papelbon-led bullpen, the kind of which never saw the now Philadelphia closer give up five runs in any appearance over the past six seasons.
So how do you fix it?
Unlike with a lineup, or even a starting rotation, uncovering a solution to late-inning relief woes in April is a tough task. Trades to fix such conundrums are almost never possible at this time of year. That's where Bard comes in.
The team said the righty will be available out of the bullpen for a few days but is still scheduled to make his next start on Friday. And, judging by his first two outings, Bard deserves to stay in the rotation. He appears to be on track to become exactly what the Red Sox had hoped, a legitimate top-to-middle-of-the-rotation starting pitcher.
Still, Bard also represents the only legitimate fix for the biggest problem the Red Sox are facing right now -- piecing together a bullpen. And when you have really only one solution to such a pivotal issue, you make the move, especially when there appears to be some sort of safety net in regards the starting rotation waiting in the form of Aaron Cook (3 starts, 1.35 ERA, 20 innings) and, slightly further down the road, Daisuke Matsuzaka.
Offensively, one of the focal points has been the catching position. When your perceived starting catcher, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, is hitting .206 with a .632 OPS, that will happen.
But here's the thing …
You know what Saltalamacchia was hitting after 36 plate appearances (what he has now) in 2011? Just .194. From May 1 until August 1 last season, the Red Sox backstop actually had the third-best OPS of any catcher in baseball (.888).
And while Lavarnway has kept progressing in Pawtucket, hitting .283 with a .830 OPS and two home runs after hitting safely in his last four games, there is no need to make the call for the 24-year-old quite yet. It should also be noted that the Red Sox' right-handed-hitting option at catcher, Kelly Shoppach, is also actually getting the job done, hitting .375 with a 1.149 OPS in 18 plate appearances. The result is a Sox team that ranks in the top half of the American League in terms of catching production, with a .255 average (7th), .352 OBP (6th), .468 slugging mark (5th) and .820 OPS (6th).
Mike Aviles has done an admirable job in filling in at the leadoff spot while Ellsbury recovers from his shoulder subluxation. In seven games at the top spot, the shortstop has hit .345 with a .387 OPS. But despite getting on base in three of his seven opportunities to lead off a first inning, he has only scored once.
It is still better than Ellsbury did in his seven plate appearances in the first inning before getting hurt, not reaching base a single time, but that was undoubtedly going to change. And what moving the capable Aviles up in the order did was thin out the Sox' lineup, leading to little production in the early innings.
Right now, the Red Sox' No. 9 hitters are managing just a .128 batting average, worse than all but three National League teams.
The Red Sox are also 19th in the majors in scoring runs in the first six innings, but third from innings seven through nine. The problem with that dynamic is that it has led to a boatload of deficits. Just three times the Sox have held the lead after six innings.
David Ortiz has been one of the best hitters in baseball this season. Not just one of the best designated hitters. Not the top 36-year-old hitter. Not one of the best left-handed hitters. No, one of the best hitters in baseball.
He is only behind Matt Kemp and Josh Hamilton in OPS (1.166), is also third in batting average (.436) and slugging percentage (.691). And to top it all off, he is hitting an even .500 (9-for-18) against left-handed pitching.

Rogers problems slow Canadian 3GS launch
iLounge editor Jesse David Hollington is on location at the Apple Store in the Eaton Centre in Toronto for the launch of the iPhone 3GS, and reports that technical difficulties on Rogers' end have slowed down the proceedings considerably. Hollington writes, "the Apple Store here at the Eaton Centre opened at 8:00 a.m. with about a dozen people in line with appointments, and about a dozen in another line who didn't make or couldn't get appointments. My appointment was for 9:00. The Apple Store began processing only NEW activations around 8:15 due to problems on Rogers' end. Apparently, the just-announced promotional pricing is so new that it isn't in Rogers' systems, so the Rogers computer will show all existing iPhone owners as ineligible for an upgrade (as would be the normal policy)."
He continues, "as a result, they have to physically telephone a Rogers Customer Care rep for each upgrade to confirm eligibility and billing (purchase price goes on the Rogers bill). Telephone hold times are running from 30-40 minutes just to talk to somebody. I've been told I'm next on deck at this point, one hour late for my original appointment (there are four people being processed for upgrades right now)."

Gee, technical problems on Rogers' end? No! What a shock!
Seriously, it's unbelievable that after their experience one year ago with the 3G (which was a disaster of biblical proportions), they weren't ready for this launch.

Interesting. Not terribly surprising. I was at a Fido store in Calgary when they opened at 8 and they said they were having problems with iTunes, not with the Fido servers (unlike last year, when they had problems with both).

On Wednesday, March 19, 2014, 4-H youth form across Wisconsin gathered at the State Capitol in Madison to celebrate 100 years of 4-H in Wisconsin. Freistadt 4-H Friends were there to represent Germantown. They gathered at the Concourse hotel to listen to guest speakers to talk about the benefits of 4-H.
Afterwards, 4-H youth spoke to Wisconsin Representative Pat Strachota about their 4-H involvement. Youth also spoke with Alberta Darling's aide, who asked, "What could we be doing as a legislature to help?" Youth leader Khia Kurtenbach replied that just being aware of what's happening with 4-H is enough. Youth also met with lobbyist and former Wisconsin State Representative Bob Welch to learn about civic engagement and careers in government.
The day also included a tour of the Wisconsin State Capitol. Freistadt 4-H Friends meet at the Germantown library at 6:30 P.M. on the 3rd Monday of the month. For more information, call Kristie Kurtenbach, Freistadt Friends General Leader, at 262-643-4289.

A real find!,
This review is from: Rossini: Complete Overtures (Audio CD)
It's always the most popular Rossini overtures that are recorded and it's fabulous to have the complete set. The usual suspects are there of course, but most of 2 of the 3 CDs contain lesser known overtures.There does seem to be one overture missing though; "La donna del lago"(The Lady Of The Lake)!
The recording quality is first class as are the interpretations by Sir Neville Marriner.
I'm now discovering some other early works of Rossini in the form of cantatas which are also available from Amazon UK.

La Donna del Lago has only a 1 minute 30 sec sinfonia introduction to an opening sung chorus of shepherds, sheperdesses and hunters, not a real overture. Perhaps that is way it is missing.

Written on: 02/01/2014
I ordered 2 bouquets as a Christmas gift, to be delivered just before Christmas. I took the trouble to email and request further confirmation that they would definitely arrive in time, which I got.
I waited in all day on the selected delivery date. I received 2 emails on the day: one to say the flowers were not going to arrive and one to say they were on their way. They didn't turn up and no-one answered calls. Very frustrating, as had I have known earlier, I would have ordered from elsewhere in time for Christmas.
The customer service is awful and totally unprofessional. I have been struggling to get a refund. I was offered complimentary bouquets- which I would have to pay for (not sure how they would be complimentary?!).
Do NOT use them!!

Changing your bank is easy
Relevant offers
Banking relationships last longer in many cases than marriages, which is curious because switching bank is a lot easier than getting a divorce.
OPINION: My theory, based on my own experience and that of friends and acquaintances, is that people move bank either because they become furious at poor service, or because they are chasing a better mortgage rate, or because of a major life event like a marriage.
Patriotic fervour may drive some to switch bank, judging by the rise of Kiwibank, but I have always ascribed its rise and rise to the sharpness of its interest rates and low fees.
There may even be instances where people see a new account or service advertised or a better savings interest rate, which sparks a decision to up sticks for fresher banking pastures.
The truth is many of us inherit our first bank from our parents, a kind of arranged marriage which begins when they take us along as wee children to open our first account.
After that, we bumble along and too often think that what "our" bank is offering is pretty standard, when we could be doing much better elsewhere.
And then one of those jolts mentioned above can get us thinking about moving.
But nowadays when people decide it is time to switch bank, they find it is a lot easier than it used to be.
A few years back Kiwibank lobbied for banks to get together to create a simple system to allow for greater ease of switching.
Under threat of legislation, all the banks agreed. That's great because easy bank switching makes for greater competition in banking services, which is a national good and has driven a better deal even for people who have chosen not to switch to cheaper banks.
Nowadays all you have to do to switch bank is give the bank you want to go to the authority to contact your old bank to get all your banking details.
Once you have chosen the accounts and services you need at your new bank, it will open them for you, switch over all your automatic payments and issue you with the cards you need.
It'll even make sure your old bank accounts are shut.
The whole thing takes about two weeks.
It shouldn't hurt at all.
Of course, if you have got a mortgage, simply storming out of a bank branch in fury and giving your authority to switch to a new bank isn't so easy. If your mortgage is floating, then you'll be able to shift with help from your new bank, which you should expect to pay all the costs of your moving to them.
But, if all or part of your loan is fixed, it will be much harder, and you'll need some advice from the bank you want to go to. You'll need to be patient, as the process - depending on what fixed-rate terms you have chosen - may take a while and there could be a cost in breaking the deal.
Many readers might find themselves feeling disloyal in considering moving bank.
Banks feel no loyalty to us, and there is precious little value attached to a long-term banking relationship other than the power it gives banks to charge us fees and interest for longer.
DON'T . . . Worry about the feelings of your bank manager. He doesn't worry about yours.
Put up with bad service and high fees.
Think changing banks is hard.
Stop looking around for a better deal.

A recap of Wednesday night's open of AFI Docs with Alex Gibney's "Zero Days" and highlights of what's to come.
Daniel Patrick Carbone's stellar debut "Hide Your Smiling Faces" has drawn deserved comparisons to David Gordon Green's "George Washington" and Terrence Malick's "The Tree of Life" in its capturing of the formative moments in which boys transition to men. While comparisons to masterful filmmakers often betray a critical inability to look deeper, the influences feel relevant here. Like Green's debut, this lyrical drama announces the arrival of a talented young director with a keen grasp of youth; a man who presents a truthful vision of how death impacts soon-to-be men differently depending on their ages.
"Hide Your Smiling Faces" opens with a long shot of a snake eating an animal. It is a tone-setter in that what follows has the feel of natural progression; that of a teen into a man.
Two boys, who we will learn are brothers, take shelter in the rain, with the younger boy following the lead of his elder as they spar, play and do what adolescents do. The taller one lifts the shorter one. They laugh. They play spontaneously as if there is little concern for what tomorrow will bring. The first act is filled with these moments of adolescence—boys wrestling in a field, finding a dead bird in an abandoned house, and one emerging from his home with his father's gun, a moment that will force parents to recoil at the potential danger but isn't played as foreboding or melodramatic. Later, when that same child is found at the base of a bridge, having fallen from above, we are left to wonder if it's related to the incident with the gun but it's the fact that death has entered this innocent world more than the how or why that interests Carbone as a storyteller.
Older brother Eric (Nathan Varnson) is shattered by seeing the dead body of his brother's friend. Immediately, there is a stronger distinction between the boy's reactions. Eric sits on the couch, holding his mother's hand in grief while Tommy (Ryan Jones) traces the pattern on the floor rug. And yet both still share a smile and an uncomfortable laugh. They're still boys, now forced to deal with something unexplainable and unimaginable. Adults toss platitudes like "life's just tough" but don't really know how to comfort Eric or Tommy and the differences in ages—Tommy appears of middle school age while Eric is most definitely high school—begin to impact how they process grief. Eric seems more reckless, more violent, while Tommy regresses in the other direction, becoming more cautious. There's a fantastic scene in which Eric drops Tommy in the water, knowing that he'll be safe but the latter has a degree of panic that feels heightened by recent developments. Carbone's narrative also gains resonance when Eric becomes concerned that a friend may be suicidal. These are boys thinking about, talking about, and experiencing the inevitability of the end of life and that it may come sooner than nature intends for the first time, and realizing that it is everywhere.
Carbone's approach to filmmaking works with dialogue and interaction that feels natural, improvised, and unforced, much like the playful days of the mid-section of Malick's film. There's a sense that these lazy days must end but Carbone's film is neither foreboding nor nostalgic in the way it underlines those themes. Finding the dead bird could be seen as a sign that everything that flies must die but Carbone constantly maintains distance from the emotion, shooting his boys naturally instead of forcing a cautionary tale of the dangers which so many adolescents survive. His aural choices are similarly unmannered, often allowing sounds of nature like wind rustling through the trees and birds chirping in the distance to suffice where other directors would have piled on a sentimental score.
What elevates "Hide Your Smiling Faces" is Carbone's gentle, lyrical touch where other filmmakers would have turned the same thematic concerns into melodrama. Nothing in "Hide Your Smiling Faces" feels overly underlined or forced in a way that would betray the truth of the characters in favor of the narrative. Carbone knows that kids can see the day they wrestled with other kids or hid from the rain as being as formative as the day that one of them brought dad's gun to play time. And it is only when we cross over from adolescence to adulthood that we can look back on all of those days and truly realize what they meant.

New website on Armenian Genocide launched
April 16, 2012 - 10:10 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Genocide1915.org is a new information site, dedicated to the 1915 Genocide in Ottoman Turkey, which engulfed Armenians, Assyrian/Syriacs and Anatolian and Pontic Greeks.
While there are number of excellent information sites on the Armenian Genocide, the new genocide1915.org aims to explain the genocide to the general public by answering the most frequently asked questions about the events during WWI, their background, the denial policy, the recognition process and gathering other information and material such as images, videos etc. in one place.
Genocide1915.org is the English version of the Swedish language Folkmordet1915.org which was released as part of the information campaign prior to the recognition of the 1915 Genocide by the Swedish Riksdag on March 11, 2010.
Genocide1915.org is created and maintained by Armenica.org in cooperation with the Union of Armenian Associations in Sweden.
Armenica.org is a nonprofit project for spreading information about Armenia and its related issues.

Residual pretensions - Hopelessness versus revolutionary politics in Bengal's Left
The Nuffield studies of each British general election since 1945 are valued to two reasons. First, they assess an election campaign from all possible angles, from the perspective of politicians to the media coverage of the exercise. However, far more important, these studies approach the elections, not from how it appeared in hindsight but how they seemed "in flight." This is particularly valuable as it prevents sweeping generalisations of how an election campaign seemed before the final counting of votes and declaration of results.
It is important to inject this chronological perspective into the recent West Bengal elections, a fortnight after the Electronic Voting Machines revealed an unequivocal mandate for Mamata Banerjee and her Trinamool Congress. With the outcome revealing little or no scope for ambiguity, posterity will probably forget that even as late as the evening of May 18, after all the anecdotal evidence from the districts had been dissected by the pundits and analysts, there were a very large number of people who predicted that the next morning would see Mamata and her loyal followers scurrying for cover. On the final day of polling I had spoken at length to a Communist leader and a 'dissident' TMC parliamentarian at the Central Hall of Parliament. Both had assured me that the groundswell of anger against the Mamata administration was far beyond their wildest expectations and that the TMC was heading for a complete rout. One Left stalwart gleefully described Mamata's apparently tense body language as she visited her offices for the "last time" before the declaration of results.
The wild optimism that had gripped the Congress-Left combine in the final days of the election campaign warrants mention. The idea is not to mock their horrible misreading of the situation: even the most experienced of political observers do get their sums wrong. It happened in May 2016, just as it has happened in the past and will happen in the future. Basically, all politicians live in an echo chamber and are inclined to talk up what they envisage is the reality. I recall the remarkable extent to which both non-Congress and media professionals failed to anticipate the phenomenal pro-Congress avalanche in 1984. Even a casual re-reading of the press coverage of that election demonstrates how the popular mood was insufficiently understood.
That the state unit of the CPI(M) miscalculated the verdict of May 2016 and ended up behind both the TMC and the Congress is apparent. In Left circles, this spectacular debacle is now the stuff of a fierce political battle involving the so-called 'Bengal line' and the orthodoxy. The Bengal CPI(M), it may be recalled, had basically told the Politburo to go and take a walk as it, inspired by Biman Bose and Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, crafted a variant of a Left-Democratic alliance involving the existing Left Front and the Congress. It was a quiet rebellion and was quite unprecedented from the standpoint of the CPI(M) that, in its internal structures, still adhered to Lenin's top-down command structure. The Bengal CPI(M) was more or less united in its resolve to include the Congress in a broad alliance against the TMC. Indeed, the local unit was so determined that many of its hotheads were even willing to contemplate a formal split in the party.
Now that the disastrous performance of the CPI(M) is a grim reality, there are some awkward choices that confront the party. First, a recalcitrant local party has informed the Politiburo that, far from admitting the error of its ways and shamefacedly falling in line, it proposes to continue the alliance with the Congress both inside and outside the Legislative Assembly, at least until the general election of 2019.
On its part, the Congress, which was the major (and unexpected) gainer from the alliance, has indicated it is willing to play ball with the CPI(M). Humbled in Assam, Kerala and Tamil Nadu and confronted with its own existential dilemmas vis a vis the rising regional parties, Congress Party spin doctors have lauded the Bengal experience as a way of blunting the BJP onslaught. Dejected promoters of the Congress-Left deal in West Bengal now say that the TMC prevailed only because a major chunk of the votes the BJP secured in the 2014 general election went totally in favour of the TMC. Earlier, during the campaign, it was presumed by the same people that the anticipated contraction of BJP votes would benefit the main anti-TMC combine. The presumption was a bit unreal since voters who lean towards the BJP are more than likely to favour other anti-Left forces as their second choice. But then, in hindsight, many of the political assumptions of the Congress-Left were based on the spurious belief that the battle to oust Mamata was essentially to restore civil liberties in the state.
Indeed, for the beleaguered CPI(M), the electoral battle in 2016 was essentially one of political survival. There was a time when the CPI(M) was driven by a desire to effect profound social change and use West Bengal as a springboard for expansion into the rest of the country. That dream was put to rest after more than three decades of uninterrupted power and the Left Front's failure to introduce socialism in one province. By and large, those who joined the CPI(M) after Jyoti Basu's victory in 1977 were driven by the desire to benefit from being on the right side of the political power structure. Once power slipped out of the Left hands in 2011 and the TMC mounted a campaign of ruthless expansion, the Left found itself struggling to just about stay afloat. It is interesting that, apart from a few mass rallies, the Left has been unable to intervene effectively at the constituency level since 2011. In short, the character of the Left and its political priorities has changed immeasurably. At its best, the Left has piggybacked on loose 'progressive' causes in a bid to roll back the advance of the BJP. To add insult to injury, as the swearing-in ceremony of Mamata last week demonstrated, it is being regarded as a bit player (if not a liability) by the regional parties that now dream of providing a 'federal' alternative to Narendra Modi in 2019.
The growing mismatch between Left hopelessness in West Bengal and the residual pretensions of revolutionary politics in the CPI(M) Politburo are now becoming increasingly visible. There is a growing contradiction between the CPI(M)'s larger political programme and the grim realities on the ground in West Bengal. At one time, revolutionary intransigence may have been a shield against the bad times but with international Communism now relegated to the history books, there is little hope for future optimism.
Traditionally, in India, Communists punched above their weight and made their impact through strategic interventions in the larger 'progressive' ecosystem. That might still happen if the Congress persists with its leftwards lurch but for the CPI(M) to remain relevant, it will have to undergo a doctrinal revision, incorporate the Congress into its definition of 'democratic forces' and, most important, reassess the relevance of being the 'vanguard' party of the proletariat.
Some of these shifts may have been forthcoming had the CPI(M) performed well in West Bengal. Unfortunately for it, the staggering setback has only hardened the resolve of those who see continuing merit in the historical legacy of the Red flag. If the CPI(M) is to maintain a relevance it can exercise two possible options. It can either make itself indistinguishable from the CPI of the mid-1970s by tailing the Congress. Alternatively, it can emulate the European examples and submerge itself into the largest 'progressive' party. The present incoherence can't persist indefinitely.

Partisan poll coverage puts media in the dock
The day after the first phase of voting last month in Assam, the political pages of the Delhi edition of a pink paper carried a curious report. It reported that the workers of the Congress Party had burst firecrackers celebrating the ground reports from Upper Assam that reported a huge consolidation of Muslim voters in its support. To be fair, the report also suggested that the BJP and its allies appeared to be doing spectacularly well in the urban centres, but this important detail was lost amid the gloating that followed the Congress' premature celebrations.
The inclination of the media to put out positive stories in support of a side it is inclined towards isn't new and nor is it a recent phenomenon. Throughout the recently-concluded round of Assembly elections, readers and viewers of what passes off as news were subjected to fiercely partisan accounts of the mood in the constituencies. In Assam, we were told that the Muslims were gradually veering round to the view that only the Congress was in a position to save the community from the BJP. This meant that the AUDF led by perfume trader Badruddin Ajmal was gradually being squeezed out of the race. The results revealed that the AUDF still retains its relevance and that the Congress too has a substantial Muslim support. Indeed, both the Congress and AUDF appear to have reduced themselves to becoming Muslim parties in Assam.
Likewise in West Bengal, a section of the media, particularly the ABP Group, the biggest media player in eastern India, actually launched a no-holds-barred attack on Mamata Banerjee. It not only created an environment to bring the Congress and the the CPI(M) together in an electoral alliance, but put out highly tendentious reports that suggested the unlikely combination was certain to win. The important distinction between what it thought to be preferable and an accurate description of what is actually happening on the ground was obliterated. So insidious was this campaign that most of the media were convinced till the early morning of May 19 that the Trinamool Congress would either lose or that the results would be tantalisingly close.
Finally, even in Tamil Nadu, the age old aversion of the media to a Jayalalithaa that accorded it absolutely no importance manifested itself again. This election didn't result in a total, one-sided verdict — the DMK emerged a very respectable second and would probably have done even better had it not needlessly accommodated a Congress which is nothing short of being merely a letterhead in Tamil Nadu. However, the media seems to have quite deliberately overplayed the quantum of resentment in Chennai at the State Government's apparent mishandling of the floods last year. If there was fierce and lingering resentment, it certainly didn't manifest itself in the electoral outcome.
It was only in Kerala that we saw the media conduct itself quite professionally. Maybe this was due to the fact that there is a gentlemanly understanding between the two fronts and endorsing on or the other is part of a general consensus. The media reports suggested a genuine uncertainty over which combine would be most affected by the surge in support for the BJP, and this uncertainty was understandable. In the event, the UDF lost far more from the BJP's spectacular advance to 15 per cent of the popular vote, than did the LDF. The BJP turned out to be a very effective anti-Congress spoiler.
The coverage and treatment of the Assembly elections of 2016 raises very important questions regarding the media's larger role in a democracy. That media freedom is inalienable and is part of the larger democratic freedoms enjoyed by citizens is undeniable. The larger question that emerges is whether it is justified to view the media as a separate Fourth Estate any longer?
If these elections and the general election two years ago are any indication, the media is gradually shedding its autonomy and is becoming indistinguishable from the larger political process.
Its functioning suggests that the media is rapidly turning into fronts of political organisations. The allegiances may be negotiable and could even have a transactional dimension but the larger political purpose is unmistakable. Barring some important exceptions, the difference between journalism and political activism and between journalists and politicians are increasingly becoming blurred.
Maybe this is an old development and maybe editors have always seen themselves as waging political war by other means. However, as the consensual categories break down and India moves away from Congress domination, a need to formally acknowledge the shift is becoming paramount. By formally acknowledging its own demise, journalism may even end up enriching partisan politics. It will certainly make its job description more honest.

Mamata's experiments with a khichdri coalition
By Swapan Dasgupta
Mamata Banerjee was fully entitled to enjoy her spectacular second-term victory by organising a grand swearing-in ceremony on the grand Red Road in Kolkata on Friday. It was by all accounts a difficult election campaign with a wide array of forces ranged against her. That she defied pre-existing electoral arithmetic and a vicious campaign launched against her by not only the CPI (M)-Congress combine, the intelligentsia and the biggest media house of the State made her victory all the more creditable.
Yet, while basking in her triumph, the Chief Minister of West Bengal was guilty of over-reading the significance of her conclusive victory against her old foes. Within minutes of it becoming apparent that she was sweeping the polls on May 19, her Trinamool Congress spokesman Derek O'Brien said on TV that it was but a small two-hour aeroplane ride from Kolkata to Delhi. Her Finance Minister Amit Mitra who resurrected the idea of a Federal Front echoed this sentiment. On her part, Mamata has not been so explicit but it was clear that she revelled at the fact that Friday's swearing-in was attended by, among others, Bihar's Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah. Apart from this, Arun Jaitley, Babul Supriyo and Ashok Gajapati Raju represented the Central Government.
True, there were important absentees. The Congress and Communists stayed away and even the Chief Ministers of neighbouring Orissa and Sikkim weren't seen. And the formidable Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa was probably too busy with her own ministry-making in Chennai to make a short flying visit to Kolkata.
Notwithstanding those who weren't present — and there may be innocent explanations — the galaxy of State leaders present in Kolkata has certainly fuelled speculation that following the elections in Delhi, Bihar and West Bengal, something interesting may be happening in all-India politics to build a viable national alternative to the BJP.
Before rushing to conclusions, it is pertinent to note that there are at least three models that are being experimented with —and almost simultaneously.
Sunday Pioneer, May 29, 2016
The first, preferred by the Congress, is the old United Progressive Alliance model with the Congress as the dominant player and other regional parties, ranging from the DMK, the Left and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) playing a supporting role. This approach acknowledges the diminished stature of the Congress but still accords it a role as a distinctive pole of national politics.
The second model that seems to have caught the fascination of Nitish Kumar attaches primary importance to alliances at the regional level where the dominant partner varies depending on circumstances. Thus, the RJD and his Janata Dal (U) that were the joint senior partners in Bihar, with the Congress playing a clear subordinate role. Nitish hopes that the experiment will be successfully replicated in Uttar Pradesh with the Samajwadi Party as the senior partner and maybe even in Punjab with a Congress-Aaam Aadmi Party alliance. For Nitish, the important thing is to ensure that the BJP and the National Democratic Alliance are defeated in the State elections. This will set the stage for the 2019 elections that could see the aggregate of State elections defeating the Narendra Modi Government. The nature of the central coalition and the choice of a leader can be negotiated subsequently. But Nitish, whose hatred for the BJP has assumed a somewhat strident proportion, clearly sees himself as a future Prime Minister, a project endorsed by Lalu Prasad who would love to be the last word in Bihar.
Finally, there is the Mamata model of the Federal Front. According to this model, a national coalition of regional parties that excludes the Congress, BJP and Left is the way forward in national politics. For Mamata's Federal Front, the point of inspiration is the 2014 general election results in West Bengal, Orissa, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Telengana where the regional parties prevailed and prevented the encroachment of the national parties. If 2019 results in the regional parties also prevailing in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Delhi, there is a possibility of a patchwork coalition of regional parties prevailing at the Centre. Whereas Nitish sees the coalition being bound by secularism and anti-BJPism, Mamata sees the federal principle as the basis of unity.
On paper, each of these three alliances have a measure of electoral viability. However, there are two imponderables.
To begin with, their success depends on the Congress reconciling itself to the present 45 seats in the Lok Sabha and shedding all hopes of a national revival. It also presumes that all intra-regional rivalries being set aside for the sake of a larger national cause. However as the still-born Janata parivar unity demonstrated last year, this is easier said than done.
Above all, however, there is the vexed question of arithmetic and chemistry. The patchwork coalition works best in national politics when the dominant party is in decline and another national alternative hasn't acquired sufficient momentum. This happened in 1996 and witnessed two fragile governments led by HD Deve Gowda and IK Gujral. By 1998, the pendulum had started swinging once again in favour of national parties. Experience suggests that federal and unitary impulses go hand in hand in India. While the region is all-important in Assembly polls, the nation becomes the point of concern during parliamentary polls.
Whether India will want a khichdi sarkar in 2019 is a moot point. Instead of focussing her energies on such a pipedream, Mamata should be better advised to address the pressing issues of West Bengal first and look to Delhi later. That is also an advice that should serve Nitish too.

The makeover of Modi and the remaking of India
Maybe it was the resounding win in Assam just a week earlier or even the equally conclusive rejection of the principal opposition party in the same set of elections, but the commemoration of the second year of the Narendra Modi government has been significantly less tentative than the first.
The first year of any administration, especially one where the ministers are new to the job, invariably involves on-the-job learning and blending discovery with disappointments. For the Modi government, elected with the dizzying promise of ushering achhe din, there was first the discovery that its inheritance was dire. The belief that the return of political stability and decisiveness would automatically kickstart a listless economy was quickly shattered. The economy, it was quickly realized, would require prolonged healing. Equally, it was realized that radical prescriptions of change would have to be tempered because the country was loath to digest shock therapy. In short, effective governance would have to involve intelligent innovation, unending application and perseverance.
The government can boast tangible achievements that include a significant enhancement of India's competitive edge, the upgradation of infrastructure, a focused foreign policy, devolution of resources to the states and, above all, a sharp reduction of corruption in official decision-making. Most important, the past two years have witnessed a steep rise in the energy levels of government. There was scarcely a month that went by without the launch of a significant initiative that touched some area of the citizen's interaction with the government. These included lofty programmes such as the Swachh Bharat initiative that involved the daunting task of altering the popular mindset. By way of early returns, many of India's railway stations are today cleaner than they have ever been in living memory.
In 2014, it was Modi's perceived qualities of leadership that motivated voters — even in places where the BJP had only a nominal presence — to turn a parliamentary election into a quasi-presidential one. The two years of Modi is, therefore, equally an occasion to assess the evolution of a prime ministerial style.
The most striking difference between the Modi who was chief minister of Gujarat for 13 years and the man who is now Prime Minister is the extent to which he has tempered his aggression. True, Modi remains pugnacious at election rallies but in matters of state, his combativeness has been replaced by an eloquence that seeks to bring the disparate strands of India together. The passion that made him one of India's foremost orators is intact, but has been replenished by a broadening of national concerns. In his Mann ki Baat, for example, there is a conscious desire to move beyond partisan political concerns and address societal themes that touch people's daily lives. As Prime Minister, Modi is attempting to position himself above the daily bickering of politics. While this exposes him to charges of wilful silence on awkward subjects, it has also raised his profile to beyond that of a humdrum politician.
In line with his status as the unquestioned head of the government, Modi has tried to position himself above political dogma. Nominally, he may be rightwing but this is coupled with an astonishing show of flexibility that comes from doing what is necessary and what is effective. Thus, in view of the private sector's inability to invest adequately in India's growth, Modi has undertaken an expansionist approach that is best described as Keynesian.
Modified: As Prime Minister, Modi has tried to position himself above political dogma, showing flexibility to do what is necessary and effective
Schemes such as Aadhar and MNREGA that had been debunked by the BJP while in opposition have been revived because they have a contextual utility. And privatization, which the BJP favoured during the Atal Bihari Vajpayee years, has been put in cold storage because it is deemed politically hazardous. For Modi, dogmatic absolutes have been substituted by managerial flexibility.
Finally, Modi has injected a sense of no-nonsense austerity into the lives and political styles of the political class. Whether it is the crackdown on needless foreign junkets or ministerial opulence, he has challenged the penchant for the easygoing and the shortcuts. Modi is governing by example and its impact is still skin-deep and the possibility of regression is still high. But if he has made a mark in just two years, the possibility of him reshaping India is enormous.
If Modi gets 10 years and doesn't trip on his sword, the India of 2024 will be a vibrant country. More important, the Indian may be a very different being. We could be on the cusp of an exciting Modi Revolution. Only the ranks of the entitled and the chalta hai brigade need to be very afraid.

Trump's angry Whites versus Hilary's elites, Blacks and Hispanics
By Swapan Dasgupta
Among the biggest pitfalls of political analysis is the belief—sometimes not altogether self-conscious—that what we believe is desirable will translate into reality. All of us have, at some time or another, been guilty of such a misreading of the situation, and not necessarily because of ideological convictions.
Last week, contrary to all the wisdom of punditry, the flamboyant billionaire businessman Donald Trump decimated all his remaining Republican opponents and emerged, for all practical purposes, as the Republican Party's nominee for the US presidential election in November 2016. When he entered the race many months earlier, the pollsters gave Trump only a two per cent chance of negotiating the primaries successfully. He defied the collective wisdom of the punditry and the organised might of the Republican Establishment to prevail. The next few weeks before the Republican convention may witness another last minute attempt by the grandees to deprive him of the nomination. But with the party faithful rallying behind him, any last minute bid to foist a more 'respectable' candidate is doomed to failure. In democracies, manipulative politics is powerless in the face of popular fury.
The Trump nomination has also set in motion a parallel explosion of conventional wisdom: the firm belief that November will witness the easy victory of Hilary Clinton. This confidence stems not so much from a larger international confidence in the wife of the former charismatic US President. The Democratic Party primaries have revealed the extent of Hilary's vulnerability in the face of a popular onslaught. If a poorly funded, slightly maverick, self-professed socialist such as Senator Bernie Sanders could the well-oiled Clinton many nervous moments, imagine what Trump can do?
Hilary may well end up as the first woman President of the US. But her victory against Trump isn't by any means assured, as yet.
It is tempting to portray Trump as a loose cannon blessed with a foul tongue and a repertoire of crazy conspiracy theories. The belief that such a man could only go so far and no further has been unendingly disproved over the past few months. Obviously, Trump's wild politics strikes a chord among many Americans. While debunking those beliefs is easy, it is far more instructive to identify the basis of his undoubted appeal. Just as Indian politics isn't determined by the Left-Liberal consensus of the newsrooms in Delhi or even the preferences of the insiders in Lutyens' Delhi, the mood of America isn't always gleamed from the self-comforting echo chambers of the campuses and financial wheeler-dealers. While their inputs should always be factored, they don't constitute the whole story.
To my mind, what makes the Trump campaign very potent is the fact that it has been able to tap the vast reservoirs of accumulated anger. When combined with fear, the cocktail is both hateful and explosive.
At the top of the anger-filled agenda is the belief that the US has slipped from its divinely-ordained position as the world's top dog. The Trump supporters believe that the once-mighty US of A is being kicked around by Islamic terrorists on the one hand, and an unscrupulous China on the other. American workers, they feel, are losing jobs and being reduced to impoverishment because they are hostages to transnational capitalism. Moreover, the demographic shift that has accompanied a permissive immigration policy has resulted in a huge mass of people who are no longer attached to the fundamental Judaeo-Christian underpinnings of the US.
Most of these beliefs aren't unique. Over the past two decades, the facets of American 'declinology' have been articulated by well-heeled think tanks. In the 1990s, Pat Buchanan articulated the resentment against multilateral trading systems and the Harvard academic Samuel Huntington (better known for his Clash of Civilisations) wrote tellingly of immigration destroying the American ethos.
Trump's achievement has been in tying all these different strands of resentment into a single, angry narrative and a single slogan. For a man whose campaign has so far been largely self-funded and without the benefit of a large army of pollsters, speech writers and researchers, the achievement has been colossal. As a canny businessman Trump instinctively detected political openings and rushed to fill the void. Whereas his Republican opponents in the primaries focussed on their Christian credentials, Trump's appeal was more wide ranging. Trump appealed to angry New Yorkers as well as those who felt short-changed by the 'system.'
It is the fierce anti-Establishment thrust of the Trump campaign that should not be underestimated, and more so since Hilary is seen as the personification of everything that is rotten about a cosy consensus. But more than that, Trump scores by not accepting the neo-Conservative beliefs on the economy at face values. Indeed, at times the differences between Trump and Hilary's Democratic rival Sanders is notional. It is this positioning that provides him the opening to appeal to traditional Democratic voters who are not driven by ethnicity. To put it starkly, against Hilary's grand alliance of the educated, the Blacks and the Hispanics, Trump offers a grand alliance of angry white America. His only shortcoming is that he alienated women with a few incredibly stupid comments but he still has time to repair that damage.
I believe that unless Trump scores a series of self-goals or unless Hilary somehow reinvents herself after securing the nomination, we are likely to see a riveting election whose outcome is not pre-determined. Decision makers in India should keep an open mind on developments in the US.

The FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology Sept. 11 released a schedule for testing of unlicensed devices that electronics manufacturers and computer component makers want to operate on "unused" TV channels upon the completion of the transition to DTV service.
Not only is the testing critical for evaluating potential interference to TV transmission, it also would identify possible interference on the VHF and UHF frequencies commonly used by wireless microphones in field newsgathering situations.
The schedule "provides sufficient time to develop appropriate standards" to prevent harmful interference from the unlicensed devices to the digital TV transmission, according to the FCC public notice announcing the timetable. It also gives companies "sufficient lead time" to design and produce such devices for sale by the Feb. 17, 2009, analog shutoff.
According to the public notice, the schedule sets target dates for testing milestones, including:
