After reading a great thread by my friend SRL88 (his thread is here), I have been inspired to start my own save, and indeed thread, of a similarr, (ok then, the same), ilk.
Before I dive in further though, I would like to apologise to SRL88 for taking such vast inspiration in terms of post layout from his thread - I'm sorry!!!!
Before beginning my save I had the painstaking task of deciding which countries and leagues to upload. My laptop is not quite as powerful as some, so I wans't able to load up vast numbers of countries and divisions for my save. I feel though I have more than enough to make this a great save.
(The lowest league available is listed next to the country)
Brazil - Serie B
England - Blue Square Bet N/S
France - Championnat National
Germany - 3. Liga
Italy - Serie B
South Korea - K-League
Spain - Liga Adelante
Switzerland - Challenge League
For my save I have used a Large Database, and around about 50,000 players have been loaded.
Aims And Ambitions
I don't really have any aims in my save, except that I want to have a fun save.
I have never in my history on Football Manager had a long career save, (I have had long saves, but always with just one club), so I really just want to have an enjoyable save, maybe jumping from club to club, and bettering my own position. Over the years on FM I feel I have developed my skills, and hope that I could be relatively successful no matter what country or league I play in.
If not, then it could be an even more enjyable in a slightly perverse way!
I hope that you, (if there are any of you), enjoy following my journey.

A killer app is a piece of software that's so attractive that consumers will buy the hardware necessary just to run it. In the early days of personal computing, Visicalc -- the first spreadsheet computer program -- made the Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) II computer attractive for buyers. Later, email was considered a killer app for Internet access.
A killer app doesn't have to be a specific piece of software. It can be the way a device is applied. For example, with smartphones, the killer application was having the mobile web everywhere you went. With tablets, it was consuming the media the Internet had to offer -- streaming movies, reading eBooks, perusing news articles -- in a much more attractive (physically and fiscally) package than a laptop.
Smartwatch manufacturers and developers have yet to find the killer application for these wrist computers. Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) has thrown its hat in the ring with Android Wear and Google Now. Apple is expected to unveil a smartwatch with its own suite of built-in applications. And several other manufacturers have made smartwatches that aren't much more than fitness bands with better specs.
Health-conscious technology
A lot of people are excited about the fitness-tracking potential of smartwatches. The Galaxy Gear 2, for example, has a heart rate monitor built in, and Apple announced HealthKit at its WWDC this summer.
A smartwatch should be able to let people leave their phones at home when they go out for a run or do some crazy Crossfit workout. Gym goers would likely prefer to have their phone safely in a locker out of the way of rogue dumbbells. But for the most part, fitness bands already solve this problem.
There are a few nice additions in smartwatches compared to fitness bands, such as a heart rate monitor and display, but the idea that these features would appeal to a much wider crowd than less expensive fitness bands doesn't make sense to me. A killer app has widespread allure.
While a smartwatch should be able to replace a fitness band, offering a slight upgrade at a significantly higher price point won't draw consumers to the new category en masse.
Give me information now
Google unveiled Android Wear, its modified version of the mobile OS for wearables, in March. Google put the focus on its Google Now service, which provides you with pertinent information based on context -- time, place, etc. It's also able to quickly fetch data like sports scores, stock prices, and weather.
Google Now is great for the smartwatch form factor because it produces "cards" that are meant to be viewed at a glance. The problem is that using Android Wear usually requires you to have your phone nearby. Google Now is excellent on Android phones, and it's even pretty good on iPhones through the Google Search app. I'm not sold on the idea that people will pay $200 to $300 just for the convenience of leaving their phone in their pocket.
Apple might be working on something
Apple's long-awaited iWatch is expected to be part of this falls new product lineup. If any company has a killer app up its sleeve, it's Apple.
After speaking with Tim Cook, UBS analyst Steve Milunovich says that he expects Apple's killer app to be voice messaging. Although slightly different from Android Wear's voice controlled text messaging, voice messaging is not unique. WhatsApp just added voice messaging as part of its Android Wear update.
Moreover, voice messaging likely has limited appeal. Nobody wants to be that weirdo that's telling his watch to send a message for him. The best use is for people driving or riding a bike, who can't easily use their phone. Why voice messaging is better than placing calls or text messaging is beyond me.
Still, Milunovich has high expectations for the iWatch. He thinks Apple can ship 21 million units in fiscal 2015, which at an ASP of $300 would translate into $6.3 billion in revenue. That would barely move the needle at Apple, which generated $171 billion in revenue during fiscal 2013. Those expecting the iWatch to be a game changer for Apple may want to rethink.
The world awaits
It usually takes some time before software developers catch up with the hardware available. While Apple's closed system puts in the best position to have a killer app at launch, we haven't heard anything that makes me believe that it has that piece of the puzzle yet. As a shareholder, I'd love to be proven wrong.
Meanwhile, smartwatch sales have underwhelmed thus far, with just 500,000 units sold in the U.S. between October and the beginning of June, according to NPD. Until there's a killer app, sales are unlikely to pick up speed. If developers take too long, the smartwatch may suffer the same fate as the netbook.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

It's that time of year when everyone has an excess of zucchini. I've been getting wonderful squash from my mom's garden and my neighbor, Sylvia. I decided to use some of it for zucchini bread. I don't yet have an art studio, but I can be creative in other ways, right?!! Like cooking.
I tried a super healthy zucchini bread recipe from Cathy Fisher's Straight Up Food blog. Her recipes are all vegan and sugar, oil and salt free. This zucchini bread uses oat and millet flour, which I made by grinding the whole grains in my Vitamix. You can use other grains and substitute already ground flours. It's sweetened with dates and grated apple. It's very good, and only slightly sweet, which I like. If you want it sweeter, add a few more dates.

We grabbed a Hot Chocolate on a Stick Gift Tin ($25) from Dean & DeLuca to give to a friend with an end-of-autumn birthday, but we're just dying to crack it open ourselves! It smells rich and sweet, and that's through the package! We've thus far resisted the temptation to swirl one of these sticks into a big mug of warmed milk, but our efforts may be futile. We'll just have to order another tin!
You should also check out Ticket Kitchen in San Francisco, for their amazing hot chocolate on a stick. They do dark chocolate, salted, and French, IIRC. They're *all* good. http://store.theticketkitchen.com/

Second Hand Mobiles Contain Personal Data
Mar 22nd
YORK, England, March 22, 2011 — /PRNewswire/ — People are unsuspectingly selling their personal information to complete strangers as a new report from CPP finds half (54%) of second hand mobile phones contain extensive personal data.
Second hand mobile phones and SIM cards purchased on eBay and used electronics shops by life assistance company CPP were examined in a live experiment to see what personal information was available on the handsets and whether it constituted a threat to their former owners' identities.
The experiment revealed 247 pieces of personal data* that had been carelessly left on a range of mobile phones and SIM cards. The personal data included credit and debit card PIN numbers, bank account details, passwords, phone numbers, company information and log in details to social networking sites like Facebook and LinkedIn.
In research that supported the experiment, half of second hand mobile owners said they have found personal information from a previous owner on mobile phones and SIM cards they have purchased second hand.
Worryingly, the vast majority (81 per cent) of people claim to have wiped their mobiles before selling them, with six in ten confident they have removed all of their personal information from them. However, the experiment revealed that 54 per cent of mobile phones and SIM cards contained sensitive personal information putting people at unnecessary risk of identity and card fraud.
The variance could be explained by the fact that most people who claimed to have 'wiped' their handsets tried to erase the data manually – a process that security experts acknowledge leaves the data intact and retrievable.
And it seems personal information comes cheap with individuals selling their old handsets and SIMs for an average price of 47 pounds Sterling.
As people rely heavily on their mobile phones to store personal data such as e-mail addresses, social networking log in details, banks account details and even debit and credit card PIN numbers, CPP is calling on people to make sure they remove all of their personal and financial information from their mobile phones and undertake adequate security measures to protect themselves from identity theft.
Mobile data expert from CPP, Danny Harrison said: "This report is a shocking wake up call and shows how mobile phones can inadvertently cause people to be careless with their personal data. With the rapid technology advancements in the smartphone market and new models released by manufactures multiple times a year, consumers are upgrading their mobiles more than ever and it is imperative people take personal responsibility to properly manage their own data.
"If they do sell or recycle them online or even give them to friends and family, they need to ensure they remove all their personal information thoroughly and consider the serious consequences of not doing so."
Senior Vice President of CRYPTOCard Jason Hart, who was commissioned by CPP to carry out the experiment said: "The safest way to remove all of your data from a mobile phone or SIM card is to totally destroy the SIM and double check to ensure that all content has been removed from your phone before disposal. With new technology does come new risks and our experiment found that newer smartphones have more capabilities to store information and that information is much easier to recover than on traditional mobiles due to the increase of applications."
CPP's top tips on wiping your mobile phone of personal information:
- Restore all factory settings – this is the first step that you should take as it is the easiest precaution before disposing of the unit, but factory resets are far from permanent so follow steps 2 – 4 to protect your data
- Remove your SIM card and destroy it
- Delete back-ups – even if your smartphone, PDA or laptop data is securely removed from the mobile device, it can continue to exist on a back up somewhere else
- Log out and delete– make sure you have logged out of all social networking sites, emails, wireless connections, company networks and applications. Once you are logged out make sure you delete the password and connection
- Various passwords – avoid using the same ID/password on multiple systems and storing them on your mobile phone, if you are going to store them on your phone use a picture that reminds you of the password
- If you are selling on your phone ensure you ask for it to be wiped to be on the safe side
- Don't store vast amounts of personal information on your mobile phone / SIM
- Make sure you check your bank statements regularly to monitor for suspicious transactions
- Remember the Golden Rule: Identity thieves are experts at spotting an opportunity to steal your identity and only need a few personal details
- If you want more information on how to protect yourself or see how these experiments worked, please visit CPP's blog
Notes to editor
247 pieces of data were left on 19 of the 35 mobiles phones and 27 of the 50 SIM cards
All data found on the mobile phones was deleted – either manually or by using the forensic software to remove and destroy the information. The SIM cards were destroyed.
Research Methodology
ICM interviewed a random sample of 2011 adults aged 18+ online between 16 – 18 February 2011. Surveys were conducted across the country and the results have been weighted to the profile of all adults. ICM is a member of the British Polling Council and abides by its rules. Further information at www.icmresearch.co.uk
A live experiment was also carried out in February 2011. Ethical hacker Jason Hart was commissioned by CPP to conduct a number of reviews relating to the data contents of re-sold mobile devices used and SIM cards within the United Kingdom with the objective of the review being:
- Understand if sensitive information has been left on resold mobile devices
- Understand what type of information is stored
- To see if information can be recovered from resold mobile devices even if the mobile device has been deleted by using software freely available on the internet
- Understand what information can be found on used SIM cards
- To see if it would be possible to use any information found to on a mobile device and or SIM to conduct any form of identity theft against the original owner of the device and or SIM.
35 second hand mobile phones and 50 SIM cards were analysed using the following techniques:
- A mobile phone SIM Reader (a standard SIM reader that can be purchased from most electric stores)
- SIM recovery software
- Forensic examination software – mobile forensic software that analysis mobile phones, smartphones and PDAs for data.

Over 75 Percent of Mobiles Sold Without VAT in India
Mar 14th
Indian tax authorities have conducted raids on mobile phone sellers across New Delhi, discovering evidence of significant levels of tax evasion.
On March 13th the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) released a statement saying that a series of raids have been conducted on several mobile phone retailers around New Delhi who were selling phones which were not properly registered and are considered to be a potential security threat.
According to the CBDT, retailers have been importing mobile phones which do not have the legally required International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI). The devices were predominantly imported from China. No records are made of the phones as they enter the country, and they are sold to consumers with no Value Added Tax (VAT) charge.
The CBDT raided 59 separate retailers across New Delhi, and found evidence of INR 2.3 billion (approx. USD 50.84 million) of unpaid VAT. Tax authorities have already closed the stores of some retailers who were found to be avoiding VAT levies or selling illegal handsets. According to the Indian Cellular Association (ICA) approximately 30 percent of the handset sold in New Delhi are imported from China with no EMEI, and sold with no VAT charge. High-end phones are even more likely to be sold without a VAT levy, with nearly 75 percent of phones costing above INR 10 000 (approx. USD 220) are sold without paying taxes. Customs data shows that nearly 7.3 million phones were imported into India in 2009, through the New Delhi Airport alone, and logistic difficulties mean that it is impossible to verify the EMEI number of each device.

Mobiles, Bhatia to give Mamata campaign tech edge
Mar 13th
KOLKATA: Many reckon one of the reasons Barack Obama won the race to the White House was his belief in the power of the cellphone as a mass campaign tool. Well, word seems to have travelled from DC to the Trinamool Congress HQ in Kolkata.
Team Mamata is looking to unleash an home-grown version of the Obama magic by leveraging the mass penetration levels of the mobile phone as a potent campaigning device during the upcoming West Bengal assembly elections. And helping her ride the campaign trail on mobile is the original poster boy of e-mail, Sabeer Bhatia of Hotmail fame.
Details remain under wraps. But on cards are dedicated numbers where people across Bengal will be able to directly air their thoughts and concerns to the TC leadership through SMS. The purpose of the mission is to forge strong bonds with the electorate, especially the Genext voters. Also in the pipeline are mobile caller tunes that will ring out the party gospel in coming weeks.
"I told TC leaders the best way for political parties to communicate with their constituents and establishing good governance is through the mobile phone and not the PC, given India's huge mobile population which is many times more than the PC. I also shared ideas on viral marketing and on ways to connect with the grassroots across rural Bengal using mobile technology," Bhatia told ET. But the Hotmail founder, who was in town on Sunday stressed he wasn't playing tech consultant to the TC, but merely sharing a bunch of ideas for free "purely in a friendly capacity".
However, the truth is Bhatia anchored two brainstorming sessions with TC leaders like Partha Chatterjee over the past 48 hours to put in place the building blocks of the party's mobile-driven campaign strategy that aims to build bridges with the youth and the rural population. What's more, he's been invited by Trinamool boss Mamata Banerjee to come up with a business plan six months down the road on ways to tone up communication channels down the grassroot levels across the state.
"Using SMS is also considered a far more economical way of campaigning which increases voter turnout at a fraction of the cost. Traditional methods like door-to-door canvassing are known to be more expensive," said a telecom consultant, who did not wish to be named.
Bhatia, who's wife Tania is from Kolkata, is yet to meet Banerjee. But the genesis of his association with the TC goes back to an informal conversation that his in-laws had with the TC chief last Christmas, said a party insider.
Abhishek Banerjee, lead member of TC's national cyber team who was also present in these meetings, said: "Our sessions with Sabeer Bhatia were a great learning experience which we plan to implement at the party level and in governance."
"We've asked Sabeer to come back in six months to present a business plan on ways to establish two-way communication between the government and citizens across the state by deploying mobile technology," said Derek O' Brien, vice president, Trinamool Congress.

China plans to track Beijing citizens through their mobiles
Mar 4th
Human rights campaigners have expressed concerns over plans to track every mobile phone user in Beijing through global positioning technology.
Chinese media reported this week that pilot schemes were being introduced for an "information platform of real-time citizen movement" to help with traffic management.
Li Guoguang, deputy director of the Beijing municipal science and technology commission, said the project would be used to tackle congestion by allowing officials to monitor the flow of people through the transport system.
"To some degree, [it] can effectively increase citizens' travelling efficiency and ease traffic jams," he told the Beijing Daily.
He added that citizens would be able to buy the information, although more sensitive information – such as the location of individuals – would not be available.
But while Beijing's roads are increasingly congested, experts say there are plenty of ways to assess and manage traffic and suggest the project is bound to be used for security purposes too.
"Certainly the use of the platform will not be limited to gathering traffic information. Officials in other areas, such as anti-terrorism and stability maintenance, will also find it useful," Chen Derong, professor of wireless communications at the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, told the South China Morning Post.
"I think despite the excuse of traffic control this is part of the escalation of the use of technologies to control social discontent," said Wang Songlian of the Chinese Human Rights Defenders network. She pointed out that last year the government introduced compulsory registration for anyone buying a sim card.
"A lot of activists have said their cell phones are already tracked by security forces. They use it to locate where people are and whether other activists are going there," she said.
But she added: "For ordinary people, the government is worried about social unrest. Often there's a spark somewhere and everyone gathers and puts out information. By registering people and tracking them, it enables them to find out about particular protests and punish individuals."
China National Radio said the municipal government hoped to start the project in two parts of the capital within the first half of this year.

New mobiles swap chance

Local News New mobiles swap chance
By MANDEEP SINGH , Posted on » Thursday, March 03, 2011
BAHRAIN's mobile phone users can swap their broken and irreparable handsets for a chance to win new ones as part of an initiative combating e-waste.
The National Mobile Phone and e-Waste Recycling Campaign is being offered by telecom company Zain Bahrain in association with Enviroserve.
It is part of the company's corporate social responsibility (CSR) campaign, said general manager Mohammed Zainalabedin.
"We are targeting practically every one in Bahrain," Mr Zainalabedin yesterday told a Press conference at the Zain group headquarters in Seef.
"Most, if not all, have at least one mobile handset they do not use and which, sooner or later, would be thrown into the bin.
"We want them to bring that handset to us and get a coupon in return for a chance to win a new handset."
He said the old handsets collected in this way would go to a 'refinery' in Singapore to be completely re-cycled.
"The mobile phone contains several hazardous chemicals, including zinc, barium and mercury," said Mr Zainalabedin.
"One phone, if improperly discarded, is capable of polluting 600,000 litres of water.
"So we can imagine what the cost on the environment could be, with hundreds of thousands of phones discarded every year," he added.
Mr Zainalabedin said they believed it was time to provide a solution for the e-waste concern.
"We have made this an interactive CSR initiative by offering participants a raffle ticket to enter our draw and win a new handset from Zain Bahrain," said Mr Zainalabedin.
"The biggest bonus is that the discarded handset will be disposed of in a responsible manner that is environmentally safe."
Enviroserve chief executive officer Stuart Fleming said his company focused on providing innovative and sustainable waste management solutions.
These include integrated waste management, cleaner production, waste minimisation, process solutions as alternatives to landfill and innovative treatment and disposal options.
"We will collect all these phones and take them to a 'phone refinery' in Singapore where they will be crushed and recycled," he said.
"All dangerous chemicals will be separated and re-used."
He said initially they would collect only mobile phones but later move on to collecting other e-waste items like computer screens, keyboards and printers.
Zain Bahrain corporate communications manager Samya Hussein said the campaign had been created to help every resident help the environment and support the movement for a cleaner, greener Bahrain. Handsets can be dropped off at any Zain shop in Bahrain from today. firstname.lastname@example.com

Drug addict collegians caught stealing mobiles
Feb 26th
AHMEDABAD: Two students were caught stealing mobile phones to support their dope addiction. Dharmik Patel, 23, a resident of Judges Bungalow road, is an MBA student while his friend Jayesh Joshi, 22, a resident of Memnagar, is an engineering student.
The duo broke into a mobile phone shop in Vastrapur's Akash tower on Friday night. They broke the security camera inside the shop to avoid being identified, but the watchman caught them and handed them over to the shop owner. Later, Yatin Shah, the shop owner, called the police and lodged a complaint against the two. During investigation, the police found that the two were addicted to drugs and wanted money to get their supply of dope. The police also seized their scooter, a Honda Eterno.
"The duo met each other through common friends. They both confessed to breaking in and attempting to steal goods from the shop. They also damaged the CCTV camera to conceal their identity. They said they were addicted to drugs and wanted money desperately. They also said they had stolen money from their homes as well," said a Vastrapur police official.

Mobiles phones 'affect the brain'
Feb 23rd
23 February 2011 Last updated at 08:55 GMT Mobiles phones 'affect the brain' Mobile phone use increased brain activity
A study by the National Institutes of Health in the US suggests that mobile phones could have an effect on the brain.
They reported higher sugar use in the brain, a sign of increased activity, after 50 minutes on the phone.
The research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association said the clinical significance was unknown.
Experts in the UK said there was no suggestion of a health risk.
Since the boom in mobile phone use, there has been considerable interest in the effect on the body.
The largest study on 420,000 mobile phone users in Denmark, has not shown a link between phone use and cancer.
This small study on 47 people investigated the effect of magnetic fields (RF-EMFs) coming from a phone's antenna.
It suggests that brain activity is affected, but cannot draw any conclusions about possible health implications.
Mobile phones were attached to both ears of each participant. One phone was off, the another was on but muted so the person could not tell the difference.
Their brains were then scanned to detect changes in glucose use, which increased by 7% in parts of the brain close to the antenna.
The researchers conclude that "the human brain is sensitive to the effects of RF-EMFs from acute cell phone exposures.
"However theses results proved no information as to their relevance regarding potential carcinogenic effects, or lack of such effects."
Professor Patrick Haggard, from the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London, said: "This is a very interesting result, since it suggests a possible direct effect of mobile phone signals on brain function.
"The implications for health remain unclear. Much larger fluctuations in brain metabolic rate occur naturally, for example during thinking.
"However, if further studies confirm that mobile phone signals do have direct effects on brain metabolism, then it will be important to investigate whether such effects have implications for health."
Professor Malcolm Sperrin, director of Medical Physics and Clinical Engineering at Royal Berkshire Hospital, said: "This paper is particularly interesting in that it reports an increase in brain metabolism as a result of the use of mobile phones.
"More work is required to establish any possible link between RF energy deposition in the brain and a consequential health risk. It is reasonable to assume that the small increase in metabolism results from a deposition of energy, which may result in turn from local temperature changes or perhaps magnetic or electrical stimulation that does not involve heat at all.
"It is important to fully appreciate that no health risk is identified in this paper."

Mobiles 'affect brain metabolism': Study
Feb 23rd
Researchers have found a connection between mobile phone use and increased brain activity.
American scientists found that 50 minutes of mobile phone use was associated with increased "brain glucose metabolism" – a marker of brain activity – in the region closest to the phone antenna.
However, the health implications of the finding are unknown, they say in the latest issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, out on Thursday.
The article points out that there have been concerns regarding potential harmful effects of exposure to radiofrequency-modulated electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) of mobile phones.
But studies of the association between mobile phone use and prevalence of brain tumours have been inconsistent and remain unresolved, they say.
Nora D Volkow, of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, and colleagues conducted a study involving 47 people.
Mobile phones were placed on the left and right ears and brain imaging was performed to measure brain glucose metabolism twice, once with the right phone activated – but with the sound muted – for 50 minutes and once with both phones deactivated.
The researchers found that whole-brain metabolism did not differ between the on and off conditions – but there were significant "regional" effects.
Metabolism in the brain region closest to the antenna (orbitofrontal cortex and temporal pole) was significantly higher (approximately seven per cent) for 'mobile phone on' than 'mobile phone off' conditions.
The researchers write: "Results of this study provide evidence that acute cell (mobile) phone exposure affects brain metabolic activity.
"However, these results provide no information as to their relevance regarding potential carcinogenic effects (or lack of such effects) from chronic cell phone use.
"Further studies are needed to assess if these effects could have potential long-term harmful consequences."
Reacting to the study, Professor Patrick Haggard, of the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London, said: "This study reports a seven per cent increase in brain metabolism close to the antenna of a commercial mobile phone during transmission, compared to when the phone is off.
"It is not the first study to report such effects, but it is considerably larger than any of the previous studies, including many more participants.
"This is a very interesting result, since it suggests a possible direct effect of mobile phone signals on brain function. However, the result should be treated with some caution.
"First, independent replication of results in a different laboratory is generally considered very important in this area of research.
"Second, it would be useful to know whether participants could tell if the phone was on or off. Simply knowing that the phone is on could influence brain activity, so the results can only definitively be attributed to the mobile phone signals if this can be ruled out.
"Third, as the authors point out, the implications for health remain unclear. Much larger fluctuations in brain metabolic rate occur naturally, for example during thinking.
"However, if further studies confirm that mobile phone signals do have direct effects on brain metabolism, then it will be important to investigate whether such effects have implications for health."
Professor Malcolm Sperrin, director of medical physics and clinical engineering at Royal Berkshire Hospital, said: "This paper is particularly interesting in that it reports an increase in brain metabolism as a result of the use of mobile phones.
"The causality is important since a direct link is reported as opposed to coincidental events which may have an independent origin.
"The authors and institution where the research was carried out are all of the highest calibre and the paper is written in an authoritative manner.
"The fact that there is an increase in metabolism as a result of phone use is not claimed to be clinically significant; more work is required to establish any possible link between RF energy deposition in the brain and a consequential health risk.
"It is reasonable to assume that the small increase in metabolism results from a deposition of energy, which may result in turn from local temperature changes or perhaps magnetic or electrical stimulation that does not involve heat at all.
"Furthermore, it is known that sensory input (eg. hearing) does elevate brain metabolism although the asymmetric nature of the finding does suggest that this is not the case here.
"It is important to fully appreciate that no health risk is identified in this paper."

Samsung Announces 12MP Image Sensors for Mobiles
Feb 11th
Samsung's research and development on image sensors is yielding results for the mobile phone market. Samsung announced that they have developed 12 MP and 8 MP CMOS sensors for smart phones and other high end phones. The 12 MP sensors are based on 1.12 micron technology whereas the 8 MP sensors are based on 1.4 micron technology. Both the sensors are of the 1/3.2-inch size format which will fit the 8.5 x 8.5 x 6.0 mm dimensions for use on phones.
HD 1080p video recording coming to a phone near you
Samsung claims that the new sensors will offer crisp image quality as well HD video recording at high frame rates. The 12 MP S5K3L1 sensor will be able to shoot 12 MP images at 30 fps and 1080p video at 60 fps as well as 720p videos at 90 fps which is more than what most good digital cameras and camcorders can these days. The sensors will go into mass production soon and samples of the sensors will be available sometime in the third quarter of 2011. The new sensors will also be shown off at MWC 2011 a few days from now as well.

Radiation Therapy at
McKee Medical Center
McKee Cancer Center is committed to providing the best quality cancer care through cutting-edge technologies and the newest treatment protocols.
Our expansion of the McKee Cancer Center has included an upgrade to the most advanced radiation therapy equipment in northern Colorado.
Radiation therapies available at McKee Cancer center include:
3D Conformal Radiation Therapy
Conformal radiation therapy is planned in three dimensions and uses the targeting information to focus precisely on the tumor while minimizing damage to the healthy surrounding tissue. This exact targeting makes it possible to use higher levels of radiation in treatment, which are more effective in shrinking tumors.
Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)
The patient's anatomy is digital imaged before or during treatment allowing additional guidance of the radiation beam. This allows more accurate and precise treatment than traditionally possible.
Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
IMRT varies the intensity of the radiation that is used for cancer therapy. It delivers multiple radiation beams that conform to the shape of the tumor which dramatically increases the dose that can be delivered to the tumor and at the same time, reduces the amount of radiation to adjacent healthy tissue. Specialized mechanical devices called multileaf collimators are used to shape or "sculpt" the radiation beams. Advanced planning and software are also needed.
Smart Arc
Smart Arc technology is an advanced form of IMRT in which a precise radiation dose is delivered in a single or multiple arcs around the patient. It benefits the patients by significantly reducing treatment time, increasing accuracy and sparing

Researchers at Michigan State University (MSU) are suggesting that leptin may be a cause for compromised immune systems in obese patients. They report that this hormone, which is produced by fat cells, supports white blood cell production in the body.
"The more fat a person has, the more leptin there is in the bloodstream," explains Pamela Fraker, Ph.D., professor of biochemistry and molecular biology and lead scientist. "In obese people, it seems that the body becomes leptin-resistant. So giving obese people leptin doesn't help them lose weight."
The MSU scientists were examining ob/ob mice (genetically programmed to have nonfunctional leptin) and db/db mice (genetically programmed to have nonfunctional leptin receptors), giving them supplemental leptin to study its effects. While causing the mice to eat less, those that were given leptin had double the number of B cells.
"This is a brand new role for leptin," according to Dr. Fraker. "It appears that most obese people may be somewhat immunosuppressed. This finding shows us that the body's resistance to leptin plays a role in that too."
The study was reported in this week's online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Ubisoft's highly anticipated online shooter, "The Division" could be delayed into 2015, according to a report Tuesday from Gamereactor.
Citing sources from within developer Ubisoft Massive, the site reports development on the shooter only recently began, all but ruling out the previously announced 2014 launch date.
"The game engine works well," the source told Gamereactor. "It's not done, but works well. The actual game development has barely started, however."
The source goes on to tell Gamereactor the developers are not happy with its publishers' insistence on such a date. The ambitious shooter is going to require a substantial development period, and there's no way Ubisoft Massive can get it ready this year, if the report is true.
"The fact that Ubisoft has gone public with a 2014 release date feels laughable to be perfectly honest, we will never be able to release 'The Division' this year," the source said. "It's a large project, and we have very far to go."
Ubisoft is no stranger to delaying its high profile titles. The upcoming open-world hacking game "Watch Dogs" was unveiled in a similar manner as "The Division," at E3 2012, and was scheduled to be a launch title for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One before being delayed at the last minute to an ambiguous "early 2014" window. Its racing title "The Crew" was similarly delayed with no new release date. The publisher still has yet to show any progress on the previously announced "Rainbow 6: Patriots," which was supposed to be available on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 last year, before being completely pulled from the release calendar.
A delay for "The Division" would not be surprising, and would actually be quite an anti-climatic announcement.

At the beginning of every month, I am offering C&Z readers a new wallpaper to apply on the desktop of your computer, with a food-related picture and a calendar of the current month.
Our calendar for July is a picture of zucchini blossoms shot at Alain Passard's vegetable garden a few years ago. It was a memorable visit that inspires me to this day, and in case you missed my report then, I invite you to take a look at the post and the accompanying photo set. If you're stuck in the city this summer, perhaps they will provide a measure of refreshment.
And as far as zucchini blossoms are concerned, I've tried stuffing them in various ways and it was fine (especially when the filling involved fresh sheep's milk cheese), but really, nothing beats frying them.
Instructions to get your calendar are below.
include("/var/www/cnz/blog/include/calendar.inc"); ?>Here's how it works:
1- This link will open a new window (or tab) displaying the right wallpaper image for your screen.
2- Right-click (or ctrl-click for some Mac users) on the image, and chose the option that says, "Set as Desktop Background", "Use as Desktop Picture," or something to that effect — the exact wording will depend on the browser you use.
3- If the image does not fit your desktop background neatly, you may have to go to your preference screen (on a Mac: System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Desktop; on Windows: Control Panel > Display > Desktop) and choose "Fit to screen" as the display mode of your background image.
4- Enjoy!
[Note: Readers of this blog live all around the globe, and I am unable to provide localized versions of the desktop calendar at this point. This is why I've opted for the international standard, by which a large majority of countries abide, and which states that Monday is the first day of the week.]

Thank you for kind wishes and your visit.
Like Sunsets this is a very good one.
I'm planning a trip here this summer Greg! Thank you for all the inspiration :)
Thank you Christos, This came towards the end of a wonderful holiday spent exploring the fjords, with plenty of warm sunny days and many photo opportunities. I didn't expect to be tempted to swim in a fjord, but in the warm weather the beautifully clear water was very inviting. I swam in the Hardanger Fjord on 3 afternoons and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Wonderful picture, excellent photo! LIKE!
Greetings, Imre
Very good view and photo.

Looking at economic philosophy through the eyes of a sociologist, the teachings of Karl Marx provide insight into why American capitalism was more successful than Russian communism. Marx viewed war and social unrest as primarily an inherit conflict between economic classes, the proletariats, i.e. the workers/producers of goods and services, and the capitalists, i.e. the exploiters of the producers. Supporters of Marx viewed all conflict as more or less economic in nature while the Communists believed they could eliminate conflict by eliminating the capitalists, i.e. the wealthy elite. Unfortunately, they neglected to realize they were only creating a more permanent, more powerful privileged class that could more readily abuse power. In other words, they created an oppressive government class that lacked rivalry.
In the West, Americans understood capitalists do not just exploit workers: they can add to the efficiency of an economy by organizing the distribution of resources and coordinating economic activities. It is when the demands of the capitalists outweigh their benefits that they become little more than a disposal burden. Thanks to an underlying philosophy of self-sufficiency and self-determination, Americans are expected to act as both proletariats and capitalists by offering their labor for a negotiated sum of capital, i.e. we are expected to demand reasonable compensation and ensure our own interests are met, which is the democratic way. As such, Americans did not seek to eliminate the upper classes; we sought to disperse power across a broad range of individuals in a variety of fields. Long before the issue of Communism arose, the American People aspired to build a nation based on equal opportunity. As such, the United States has long promoted multiple elite classes that anyone can join. This is why we believe every American should have the opportunity to work his, or her, way up to the status of the elite.
When small groups of individuals control the elite classes of the different power arenas in our society, and/or the lower classes lose their ability to achieve a higher socioeconomic status, the powerful few have the ability to short-circuit democratic processes. In tandem, our interests can only be addressed when those in power have a perceived interest in addressing our interests. Because minority groups, including the wealthy, are naturally inclined to seek power, as they must to ensure their interests are not neglected by the majority, and the powerful are driven to solidify/legitimize their power, a smaller elite class, which is based more on inheritance rather than true merit, will seek to undermine the interests of the majority when its interests conflict with the interests of the powerful. In other words, when the rulers of a nation have consolidated, legitimized, and solidified their power, they will have no incentive to respect democracy or address the interests of the majority. The greatest threat to the American way of life is, therefore, a consolidation of the elite classes and the inability of individuals to improve their socioeconomic status, i.e. everyone must have opportunity to pursue their interests.

"But can you deliver for other people and at the right price point?" Kimberly asks. She invites me to assist her on a project she's agreed to do for a customer.
"Two midcentury chairs? Easy," I say. I spend a weekend schlepping to flea markets. Not only can I not find in-expensive midcentury chairs, but I accidentally drop $150 on a pair of Robert Clergerie boots for myself.
I eventually locate the right chairs on eBay, but they are "slightly soiled." Yuck. I drift to YouTube for a video break. Cats on a treadmill are irresistible, especially when you're bored. At another online retailer, there's a set of authentic tulip chairs, only they're in Atlanta and the shipping will be costly. Kimberly's words come back to haunt me: "You need to amortize your price by the amount you've paid and the hours you spend shopping, tracking Google Analytics and keeping current on trends on other sites. You also need to factor in the costs of running a website and of photo shoots." YouTube tempts me again. Yep, nothing cuter than kittens.
Fourteen hours later, I e-mail pictures of my top choice, and I'm only $2,700 over budget. "We'll just have to tell them to spend more," I say. From Kimberly's silence I determine that, for me, shopping should remain a hobby. Clearly I don't have the patience for this gig.
What about a career as a do-gooder? I've volunteered for many causes and once appeared nude in an Internet campaign to persuade people to opt out of receiving junk mail. Confident I can turn my zeal into a fully clothed profession, I reach out to my sister, Lisa, who travels the globe as a senior executive for World Learning, an 80-year-old nonprofit.
"Come to an event in Washington, and we'll put you to work," she says. "You'll need to know the backgrounds of the attendees, because that's key when engaging with potential donors."
"I can do this. I learn lines all the time!" I say.
"Oh, and read up on our AIDS project," she adds. "We have programs in more than 60 countries, so just get familiar with all of them." Gulp.
Guest bios begin flooding my e-mail inbox. I open the first one and am perplexed. Is it written in Cyrillic? After several minutes, I realize I'm looking at acronyms of government agencies. Someone works at USAID; there's an ADA of the B of E&E, a PTP, an IDEP and an IREX. I have no idea what any of these mean, but I remind myself that I did once play an attorney on Boston Legal, to excellent reviews.
I arrive at World Learning's D.C. headquarters in time to attend a series of educational seminars. Documents are passed around showing graphs labeled "Capacity building," "Auditing performance gaps" and "Intervention chain implementation." I've seen the words before, but never in those combinations. At the end of the session, one line in my notes reads, "Need a nap."
I duck into my sister's office to review my cheat sheets on projects in Liberia and Macedonia. I thought I'd put them in my handbag, but they are nowhere to be found. I pull out a school field trip permission slip that was due two weeks ago, fossilized breath mints and a Post-it that reads, "Call Barbara N!!!" I have no idea who Barbara N is. Lisa's desk has color-coded calendars and briefing documents stacked in tidy piles. It's not possible that we're really sisters.

Beginning in 2005 with the launch of the Xbox 360 and continuing with the launch of the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii in 2006, the previous generation of the consoles was fraught with some of the most stellar titles of all time. With the release of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (and the WiiU being somewhere in between), this generation is winding down to a close.
What a ride this has been. We saw the rise of indie game development and more prominent digital distribution of video games. Wireless controllers have become the standard, as well as entertainment features that became a standard for all gaming devices (Netflix, Youtube, etc). However, the real reflection needs to be on the games, as the quality has peaked yet again.
Disclaimer: I have not played everything, nothing on PC. As I will try to be objective, ultimately, this list will of course be comprised of my opinion. Because of the amount of games that this generation has had, I'm guaranteed to miss a couple of your favorites. That's what the comment section is for. Onward! Oh, and there may be some spoilers…
Honorable Mention: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, 2007
Say what you will about what Call of Duty has become, haters. You cannot deny the influence the series has had on the industry. When Modern Warfare first dropped, it was amazing, a game changer. The story gave you characters that you cared about, even if the story was a bit generic (stop terrorists from blowing up the world). However, that nuke being dropped and killing your character was unexpected. The graphics were incredibly photo realistic and the gun models were stellar. The game also ran at 60 frames per second, which I admit, am a sucker for.
Let's talk influence. Aiming down the sights is a staple in every first-person shooter now, as is clicking down the left analogue stick to sprint. Every online multiplayer mode has customizable classes now, complete with loadouts, skill trees, and those notorious kill streaks. Modern Warfare popularized experience points in online shooters, making them RPG-esque (which I am a fan of). Anytime I do anything in an online shooter these days, a number pops up on my screen (+10xp, +50xp, etc). Sure Call of Duty has caused the gaming landscape to be oversaturated with shooters, changed the way companies take risks creatively and with new ideas, and popularized annual franchise releases for many genres (although to be fair, sports games have been doing it for generations), but you can't deny the influence and awesomeness of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Check out Part 2, counting down 10-8 of the top 10!

A report last night on KOMO that the Seattle Mariners – following a security mandate from Major League Baseball (MLB) that will apparently be in full force by 2015 – will screen all fans with metal detectors at Safeco Field starting this year has Evergreen State gun owners fuming.
MLB has reportedly been working with the Department of Homeland Security on the stadium security issue. Like any federal agency, DHS seems to think that making citizens defenseless somehow translates to making them safer, critics will argue.
Many gun owners are sounding off on the KOMO website with no small amount of sneering sarcasm about the team's inability to win games, thus draw crowds to "The Safe" and a few mention their concerns about getting back and forth from the stadium to their parked cars.
Mariners spokeswoman Rebecca Hale insisted the move is being made because "Fan safety and security is our top priority." That seems rather shaky logic considering the potential for crime between the stadium and parking lots – remember this is the same neighborhood in which Shoreline Community College professor Troy Wolff was stabbed to death after leaving neighboring Century Link Stadium – not to mention the probability that after every game, at least some fans leave The Safe after downing several beers only to climb behind the wheel of their sedan or SUV, and everybody knows it.
Many gun owners have long questioned whether they can legally be prohibited from carrying firearms at the stadium because of state law. It depends upon how one reads the statute, and whether the facility is considered public or private property, or managed privately. Police are already miffed at a gun prohibition at Century Link. Here's the part of the law that has gun rights activists crying foul:
(2) Cities, towns, counties, and other municipalities may enact laws and ordinances:
(a) Restricting the discharge of firearms in any portion of their respective jurisdictions where there is a reasonable likelihood that humans, domestic animals, or property will be jeopardized. Such laws and ordinances shall not abridge the right of the individual guaranteed by Article I, section 24 of the state Constitution to bear arms in defense of self or others; and
(b) Restricting the possession of firearms in any stadium or convention center, operated by a city, town, county, or other municipality, except that such restrictions shall not apply to:
(i) Any pistol in the possession of a person licensed under RCW 9.41.070 or exempt from the licensing requirement by RCW 9.41.060….
Whether a court challenge arises out of this new restriction remains to be seen, but it already appears to have convinced many gun owners to write Mariners baseball off of their "to do" list for 2014.
The Mariners are not the only ones taking sides against gun owners, it appears. Congressman Rick Larsen last week endorsed Initiative 594, the 17-page gun control measure now before the State Legislature in Olympia. I-594 is backed by the well-financed Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility, and is ostensibly being pandered as a so-called "universal background check" proposal.
The Seattle Weekly and Seattle P-I.com both played up Larsen's decision. The Weekly erroneously repeated the demonstrably false suggestion that the Bellevue-based Second Amendment Foundation will be waging "all-out war" against I-594. SAF has nothing to do with the political battle and never has because the foundation does not engage in political campaigns.
SAF's sister organization, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, is part of the Protect Our Gun Rights coalition supporting Initiative 591, which requires background checks to comply with a uniform national standard. The confusion stems from the fact that Alan Gottlieb, who founded SAF and is chairman of CCRKBA, is prominently involved in the I-591 effort.
Larsen also said something to the Seattle P-I.com's Joel Connelly that has been completely discredited, but still continues as an urban legend.
"Four in ten gun sales in our country take place without background checks to make sure that the purchaser is not a criminal or a danger to public safety," Larsen said.
That 40 percent "guesstimate" comes from a tiny survey – fewer than 300 people participated – dating back more than two decades, before Brady Law background checks became the federal requirement. Factcheck.org has refuted this argument, and the Washington Post gave it three "Pinocchios," which amounts to calling the claim bogus.
All this demonstrates, in the eyes of gun owners in Larsen's district, is that he has suckered for two canards. They will remember that in November when his job will be up for a vote, as likely will be the dueling initiatives.

New paper on recent (Open)Solaris security features
By user9159837 on Jul 10, 2008
Jan Pechanec, Mark Phalan and I published a paper together entitled "New Security Features in OpenSolaris and Beyond" (pdf) at the OpenSolaris Developer Conference in Prague. Jan even interrupted his vacation to give the talk!
Jan Pechanec and Christoph Schuba and Mark Phalan. New Security Features in OpenSolaris and Beyond. In Proceedings of the Second OpenSolaris Developer Conference. Prague, Czech Republic, June 2008.
This paper examines several new security features and enhancements to existing security features that were introduced into the OpenSolaris Operating Environment in the time period of approximately mid 2006 through mid 2008. We focus on the following contributions, rather than present an exhaustive list: Solaris Trusted Extensions (the multi-level security features that is now an integral part of the Solaris architecture), the Key Management Framework (KMF - a unified set of interfaces for managing PKI objects), the OpenSSL PKCS#11 engine, and a number of functional enhancements to our Kerberos system.
Furthermore, we present work in progress on filesystem encryption (most notably ZFS encryption and the loopback file system encryption), PKCS#11 engine, SunSSH, and Kerberos, new security features that, as of mid 2008, are being actively developed and are scheduled to become part of future OpenSolaris versions and distributions.

By supporting innovative thinking, research and information-sharing across the commercial fishing industry, we have encouraged the development of new fishing gear and practices that aim to reduce the risk of bycatch to non-targeted species
Reducing Porpoise Bycatch in the Gillnet Fishery with Acoustic Pingers
During the 1990s, our researchers began the investigate the use of acoustic pingers as a bycatch reduction device in the gillnet fishery. We proved that these pingers reduced the bycatch of harbor porpoises in gillnets by an order of magnitude. These results eventually led to the mandated use of pingers in a number of gillnet fisheries in the US and the technique has spread to other fisheries around the world. It also highlighted the monumental gains in bycatch reduction that could be achieved by having science and industry working in partnership.
Bycatch Reduction Database
The Consortium developed the Bycatch Reduction Database to facilitate information sharing between scientists, fishermen and fisheries managers.

Killer Samich Food Truck @ Caffe Nove
I had the chance to try the Killer Samich Food Truck at Caffe Nove some time back and it was a truly great food experience. I have to admit when I first thought of a sandwich food truck, I wasn't too interested because I wasn't sure how the flavors could be twisted enough to warrant $6-$10. It was not until I checked out the Facebook fan page of this food truck and saw this amazing looking sandwich on their cover photo that I began salivating for a taste of the Killer Samich food truck.
The actual truck design is very simple and to the point. I think having some more photos on the food truck would be helpful though for diners. Killer Samich is one of the earlier food trucks to hit the streets and has been out on the road since Fall 2011. After quite a long internal debate on which sandwich to order (the Killer Cuban was highly enticing) – I decided to try the Pork Carnitas Sandwich from the cover photo I had seen before.
The Pork Carnitas comes with Cilantro Lime Slaw, Sweet-n-Spicy Pickles & Citrus Mayo. After one bite into this sandwich I was completely sold on Killer Samich. The interesting blend of flavors was like no sandwich I have had in Tampa Bay. The hoagie roll bread was perfectly toasted and every last bite was enjoyable. The slow-roasted pork was incredibly succulent to the point where I was just chomping away happily. No Subway, Publix, or even local deli shop could compare to this awesome sandwich and Tampa deserves to know that this is a top local sandwich. The tortilla chips that came with the sandwich were also great and made it more of a meal.
This beautiful sandwich enlightened me on the Killer Samich food truck.
Most food trucks spend their time in South Tampa or Downtown, I think it's awesome that Caffe Nove brought Killer Samich out for a day to the New Tampa and USF area. Definitely check out Killer Samich if you have a chance, you won't regret trying one of their sandwiches. Next time I want to try their Killer Cuban which was recently introduced on the menu. We Tampa residents love our Cubans!

In the past couple years, or so, a great number of good ideas have become real things that you can buy and use thanks to crowdsourcing platform, Kickstarter. We've seen magical socks from Ministry of Supply, shoes from mohinders, as well as the Pebble smartwatch. Thanks to 714 backers who pledged a total of $22,352 the Old Familiar Comb became a reality.
This comb is cut from 12 gauge stainless steel and features an elegantly curved and particularly handy bottle opener at one end. These combs are CNC cut and abrasively finished then polished to make sure all the edges are clean and smooth in order to pass through the hair with ease. Old Familiar, which makes these unique combs in Columbus, Ohio, will also custom engrave one for you so you can flash your mad style as you slick back your fresh do.

I'm using an API where I need to pass in a callback function, but it doesn't support any user defined parameter to pass an object pointer.
What are my options of recovering an object from my static / extern "C" callback function?
I'm using
SetAbortProc(), which takes an HDC and passes through to the
AbortProc() callback. Unfortunately, I don't see any way to associate further data with the HDC.
Solutions I can think of:
- Use a global Cls *my_abort_object
Should work as only one print job can be active at a time. It seems a bit sloppy, but maybe that's just me?
- Use a global std::map<HDC, Cls*>
Probably useless for me, as only one print job can be active. The global pointer solution is easier and doesn't have drawbacks in this case.
- Use a singleton which encapsulates the whole aborting thing
Probably the sanest approach without too much work.
- Use ATL style thunks
(This is basically runtime-generated code that calls
real_callback(HARDCODED_OBJ_PTR, cb_arg1, cb_arg2, ...);That code passed in as callback function).
Would be very nice but hard to do on your own, problematic with data execution prevention, etc. Something a framework can do which you can't easily emulate.
I'm currently leaning towards the singleton solution as it seems the cleanest without too much overhead. I'd appreciate any suggestions!

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Team Squad for 2013 Indian Premier League – IPL 6 Players List.KKR team IPL 2013 season 6 Pepsi.we will provide all team squads players list of Indian and foreign who join team and logo jersey style also here.Kolkata Knight Riders team have quality proposition but some holes to plug. Largely in keeping with the rejoicing fact that they are the defending champions, Kolkata Knight Riders have retained all but four of their players for the 2013 edition. Yet, wonders if the formula that helped them win in 2012 will hold true this time.Gambhir is a class act and opens with the swashbuckling Brendan McCullum. McCullum appears weather-beaten these days, but a nice solid inning may modify all that. They are followed by the ever-reliable Jacques Kallis with a wealth of experience behind him. Eoin Morgan can unleash some histrionics and0 Doeschate can suddenly keep in mind his twin centuries in World Cup 2011.
Manoj Tiwari gives it an Indian touch; while Yusuf Pathan himself waits for his bat to blaze away.Bowling is largely dependent on Narine and Brett Lee, although the latter has lost some pace. Merchant De Lange and Balaji play second fiddle with aplomb. They also have a confident all-rounder in Shakib Al Hasan, who has grown from strength to strength. Kolkata also has a nicely balanced fielding side.Out of all the eight teams that were selected for the first season, the most hyped and popular was (and still is) Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The team owners are heavyweight celebrity like Shah Rukh Khan (the so called King of Bollywood) and Juhi Chawla among others. Fans are waiting eagerly to see some action from KKR IPL 6 squad.They waited a very long time to taste victory in IPL, & may be charged up to repeat the endeavor. Their issue has always been an unexplained urge to lose the match from ridiculous situations. They haven't released anything of note, & in the event that they plug some holes & rakes, they are going to be a quality proposition.Kolkata Knight Riders is owned by Famous King of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan's Company Red Chillies Entertainment in partnership with Bollywood Herione Juhi Chawla and with her husband Jay Mehta from the Mehta Group. Currently Kolkata Knight Riders captained by Gautam Gambhir and coached by Trevor Bayliss a former Australian cricketer.

College Hockey:Miami Earns First Road Sweep With Victory Over FSU
BIG RAPIDS, Mich. — Miami's struggles before this weekend were well-known. Now, the RedHawks look to have the momentum to sneak into the playoff home-ice picture after a 5-3 victory and a sweep of Ferris State on the road.
On Saturday, Nathan Davis' wrist shot from the slot that hit the far post and went in was the game winner at 16:18.
"The OT game last night led into this one and we responded," Miami coach Enrico Blasi said. "I think the team rallied around [netminder] Charlie Effinger tonight. They want to play in front of him, and his effort showed that he wants to continue to play."
"Once again, I thought we played well tonight," Bulldogs coach Bob Daniels said. "I think our weak spot these last two games was our goaltending. I don't want to put it all on their shoulders, but there were a couple goals they should have had. In these tight games, the other goalies aren't giving these goals up."
Miami had the extra jump in the first period as the RedHawks had a clear advantage in scoring opportunities. Bulldog goaltender Derek MacIver stopped the shot on three odd-man rushes early, but a quick power play by Miami gave the 'Hawks an early lead.
At 4:42, Marty Guerin made the Bulldogs pay for another undisciplined penalty. Chris Michael's shot missed just wide and hit the boards behind the net. Guerin was there on the other side of the net to shoot the puck into the open side of the net to make it 1-0.
After that goal, the Bulldog defense shored up and both teams were working hard just to get their shots off. Both goaltenders easily made the saves when the shots were to the outside.
The second period featured more of the same — with plenty of defensive play by both teams to start out. Bulldog defenseman Andrew Winnik was given a major penalty for hitting from behind, but Miami couldn't cash in on the opportunity. Ferris State had a late spark in the period, but Effinger was there to keep the Bulldogs off the board.
Early in the third period, Carter Thompson finally got through the armor of the Miami goaltender. Thompson unleashed a shot from a sharp angle that deflected off a Miami defenseman and went into the back of the net.
But Miami answered at the 7:04 mark when Guerin got his second goal of the game off a screened shot from the point that hit the top corner of the net just above the glove of MacIntyre.
The Bulldogs tied it up once again at 8:15 while on the power play. Greg Rallo passed the puck to the point to Jeff Legue and with Effinger screened, Legue made no mistake and ripped a shot upstairs on the Miami goaltender to tie the game at 2.
With the game tied, Ferris State was awarded two straight power-play opportunities. The first one expired without incident, but the second one gave the momentum back to Miami. Davis capitalized on an odd-man rush at 15:19 to give the lead back to the RedHawks.
Derek Nesbitt scored with the extra attacker to bring the lead back to one, but Ryan Jones' empty-net goal for Miami completed the scoring.
