Played this down the club on Monday night, and we laughed the whole way through. The game took us about 15 minutes to work through the rules (six players), and the game took about 90 minutes to play. We made it to within 8 minutes of victory, surviving reactor malfunction and the kraken attack, before the sub sank deep enough to crush us all to death!
Good points - gameplay was simple, though we did have to check the rulebook on a number of occasions early on. The concept was very funny. And the pictures on the cards enhance the game.
Bad points - the board; it's tiny - no more than a sheet of A4 paper - and makes tracking the time unnecessarily awkward.
Overall - 4 stars. We lost, and we still all enjoyed the game. This is one game where the journey IS more important than the arrival!
After spending two hours reading the 23 page instruction manual, viewing utube videos about how to play and reading several forums that try to make sense of the instructions I have to conclude that this game is just too complicated.
My family had high hopes for this game, it looks fun, but we are frustrated by the confusing rules. The rule book gets you to a point where you at least understand all the various tokens, cards and markers and how to place your player piece on the board to set up the game. But how do you start the game? Several posts in the forums all ask the same question.
The only way I am going to understand how to play this game is to actually watch someone else set the game up, start play and proceed through several moves. If the publisher would be willing to put up a video that accomplishes this I will attempt to play the game again and might put up a better review.
We are game players and have dozens of other current games (most bought from this site) and we have never before been unable to play a game due to confusing instructions.

Like This? You Should Subscribe Here Now: http://bit.ly/VErZkw Here's 'That's Alright,' the new video from Kindness & Trouble Funk. We just heard from Adam Bainbridge, who let us know a bit about the making of the video. "Hello, my name is Adam. I make music under the name of Kindness. The below explains a little about the video we have just made for "That's Alright." "That's Alright" is almost entirely based upon samples from the Trouble Funk song "Still Smokin." Trouble Funk are a go-go group from Washington DC, who have existed in one form or another since 1978, and previous to that as a more straightforwardly r'n'b oriented act called the Trouble Band. Go-go has been on my radar since Rich Harrison first started putting out incredible songs with a go-go influence. As a DC area native, Harrison knew well the urgency and vitality of go-go, and its unswervable effect on an audience. Hence his use of go-go breaks in "Crazy in Love" by Beyonce, "One Thing" by Amerie and "Take this Ring" by Toni Braxton. In clearing a sample for use in a song, you have to send a copy to the original writers for approval and publishing clearance. So I knew that Trouble Funk ought to have heard the song already. For that reason I thought we might try and take things a step further. Would the band perhaps be interested in performing the new version of their song for the video? And could they find me something to do? My flight into Washington DC was sadly delayed. The rehearsal which was due to be our first meeting went ahead without me. In fact, the first time we got up together on stage was shortly before the doors opened at the U Street Music Hall, in the heart of Washington, a short stroll from the White House. Playing with Trouble will remain one of the most awe-inspiring experiences of my life. Bands like these are few and far between. I hope we manage to capture something of the musicality and vibrancy of the go-go scene, and cement a little more the legacy of the incredible players, song writers and talents who compose these bands - those still gigging, moving a crowd and finding that sweet 'socket' together. We're in the process of putting together a documentary piece to accompany this video - between them, Big Tony and Tee Bone, both founder members of Trouble Funk have 68 years of playing time under their belts, and that's with this one band alone. They tell the story of go-go better than I can, and those with an interest in what they're doing should reach out to them directly. In the meantime, please enjoy "That's Alright," as performed by the band that inspired it, with a slightly overwhelmed Brit at the back of the stage.

The Associated Press
The price of oil surged to near $103 a barrel Thursday after a U.S. inventories report showed a larger-than-expected drop in crude oil supplies.
By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark U.S. crude for August delivery was up $1.64 at $102.84 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. On Wednesday, the Nymex contract added $1.24 to close at $101.20.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said U.S. crude oil inventories fell by 7.5 million barrels to 375 million barrels in the week of July 11. The fall was bigger than expected and attributed to increased refinery activity. Analysts had forecast a drop of 3 million barrels, according to a survey by Platts, the energy information arm of McGraw-Hill Cos.
Last month, supply concerns caused by conflicts in Iraq jacked up the price of oil to above $107 per barrel. But the price drifted lower as Iraqi insurgents failed to advance and oil exports remained unaffected. Libya's comeback to the oil market also pushed down prices, though experts remained cautious.
"The performance of oil prices in the next few weeks is likely to be dictated above all by the development of Libyan oil supply," said a note to clients from analysts at Commerzbank in Frankfurt. "Since it will doubtless take some weeks before the oil terminals are fully operational again, the oil supply from Libya is unlikely to increase noticeably in the short term."
New sanctions announced by Washington against Russia over the conflict in Ukraine were seen giving some support to prices, though their impact wasn't expected to be immediately significant. Energy firms Novatek and Rosneft have been barred from getting long-term loans from U.S. entities.
Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils, was up 87 cents to $108.04 on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
In other Nymex trading:
— Wholesale gasoline was down 0.38 cent to $2.852 a gallon.
— Natural gas dropped 6.4 cents to $4.055 per 1,000 cubic feet.
— Heating oil rose 1.26 cents to $2.882 a gallon.

Patients - Vital to Drug Development
Patients - Vital to Drug Development
04.17.12 | By
I recently worked with the American Cancer Society and some local biotech executives on the launch of a new report - Research in Your Backyard: Pharmaceutical Clinical Trials in Oregon. We all agreed that this report was a good start, but that more needed to be done to solve the largest challenge facing clinical trials today: educating patients about the importance of participation.
Without adequate enrollment in the tests, drug development slows down and patients have to wait longer for novel, sometimes life-saving medicines to become available. Up to seven years of clinical testing in a 10-to-15-year drug development process are required to help prove that a new drug is safe and effective. Without this evidence, the Food and Drug Administration cannot approve any new treatments.
And yet, for patients, the decision to participate in trials can leave their heads spinning! The fact is, there are potentially both risks and benefits to being involved in a clinical trial and it is not a decision to be made lightly.
What is especially troubling, however, is the number of patients who don't know about the availability of clinical trials of new medicines in their communities and states or who won't consider tests because of their fears, which could be assuaged if they had more information.
That's why it is vitally important that more patients learn and understand the benefits and risks to trial participation in consultation with their physicians.
To be transparent, I should note that this is not a casual thing to me. As a hairy cell leukemia survivor who was saved by a wildly successful chemotherapy more than a decade ago, my sincere thanks go out to everyone who participated in the trials of my treatment. They played a crucial role in making it possible for me to receive effective therapy, and I applaud their brave efforts to help themselves and other patients like me.
We need more patients to follow in their footsteps. To weigh the benefits of trials - such as obtaining expert medical care at leading health facilities - against the risks, patients and their caregivers can find out about trials that may suit them by accessing www.clinicaltrials.gov, PhRMA's Clinical Research and Trials Resources page and Center Watch.
Have you ever considered participating in a clinical trial?

Nima Shiraz Takes Britex to LA
For many years, Britex has had the honor of being a hotspot for fashion designer Nima Shiraz. We pile amazing fabrics and trims in his arms, send him on his way, and then pouf! He has transformed our items into breathtaking high fashion. This last month we have watched as Nima bought out an entire color of our Swarovski crystal collection, leather and velvet, and lace. And then, we found out what it was for. At the beginning of this month, there was a tribute concert for David Lynch and his foundation to teach Transcendental Meditation. And Nima was making a catsuit for one of the performers, the gorgeous Chrysta Bell.

'Justice on Trial' in the Times of Tilism: The Absence of Binayak Sen and the Presence of Anna Hazare on Television in April 2011
Sometime today, the Supreme Court bench of the honorable Justices H. S. Bedi and C.K. Prasad will hear arguments for and against the petition asking that Dr. Binayak Sen, currently sentenced to life imprisonment by the Chhattisgarh High Court on charges of sedition and several other sections of the Indian Penal Code, be given bail.
Last week, the learned bench deferred their decision on the matter, because the counsel for the State of Chhatisgarh asked for more time to make their arguments as to why he thought Dr. Sen should continue to remain in detention. That time was given by the court. I hope that the bench entrusted with the hearing will, as of today, no longer find it possible to tolerate the moral and intellectual lethargy that the counsel for the State of Chhatisgarh has hitherto exhibited in arguing its case. To be fair, the counsel for the State of Chhatisgarh has a difficult task, because they have no case to plead. Naturally, all they can do is to ask for more time.
Last week, on the 6th of April, another bench of the Supreme Court, consisting of the honorable Justices B. Sudershan Reddy and S. S. Nijjar, heard arguments in another case – a Public Interest Litigation filed quite some time ago by Prof. Nandini Sundar and others against the Chhatisgarh Government's arming of a militia – the Salwa Judum – and the violence pepetrated by it and its successor entities on the mainly Adivasi (indigenous, tribal) inhabitants of the great forest lands of Bastar. The hearing on the 6th of April featured a reading of a deposition by Swami Agnivesh on the impunity enjoyed by the successors of the Salwa Judum – the so called 'Special Police Personnel' who are called 'Koya Commandos' these days. The learned bench asked the counsel for the State of Chhatisgarh, what business the Government of Chhatisgarh had in arming a section of the population to attack other sections of the population. In reply, the learned counsel for Cchatisgarh asked for what they ask for whenever faced with a difficult question. The counsel asked for time. More time.
But had you watched television last week you could be forgiven for not having known that the state of Chhatisgarh had asked for more time, and yet more time, and still more time, to file their replies in two cases, whose outcomes will be of the utmost significance for our society, News television runs for twenty four hours, seven days a week. That is a lot of time. Last week that time was devoured by the devotional music coming out of a place in New Delhi called Jantar Mantar. A man called Anna Hazare did not eat for three, maybe four days. And television ate, digested and excreted the time that it took for him to stay hungry. Times Now, the 'market leader', we are told, in English Language News Television, for instance, devoted 'ninety seven hours of programming' (according to its pre-eminence, Arnab Goswami, who admitted as such towards the end of a 'Newshour' special) to the reportage, or should I say, spectacolage, of the rise and fall of Anna Hazare's blood pressure and blood sugar levels and the effects that these fluctuations had on the 'national consciousness'.
Had you watched television last week, particularly on the 4th, 5th and 6th of April you could be forgiven for not knowing that just about as many people as had collected around the hungry Hazare on the 5th and 6th of April had also gathered, on two of the same days, not very far from Jantar Mantar, in the Auditorium of the Alliance Francaise de Delhi to protest against what is happening to Dr. Binayak Sen and to several other political prisoners in india during the course of a three day event called 'Justice on Trial' . You would not have known that stencilled graffiti of Binayak Sen's face behind bars, with the simple legend, 'Free Binayak Sen' is beginning to appear on all sorts of surfaces in Delhi. On walls, flyovers, hospitals and even police barricades. Binayak Sen's face emblazoned on the skin of our urban fabric, like the viral proliferation of Irom Shormila's stencilled visage suggests that there is something going on in the interstices of street and public spaces that mainstream representations of the city are unable to comprehend. At 'Justice on Trial' a slideshow of these images formed the backdrop of all the music acts, repeatedly bringing the street and its contingency into the precincts of the space of discussion.
'Justice on Trial' was organized by a rainbow coalition of artists, filmmakers, performers, journalists and activists, who succeeded in reaching out to a large and varied public with a spectrum of films, discussions, music, performances and contemporary art. in fact, it is arguable, that on the 6th of April, there were more people in the audience listening to people talking about the state of civil liberties, especially (but not only) in Chhatisgarh, at 'Justice on Trial' than there were at the 'anti-corruption' indefinite public hunger strike organized by a body called 'India Against Corruption' at Jantar Mantar. Things began to turn at Jantar Mantar only from the third day of Anna Hazare's fast onwards, by which time, forty eight hours of non-stop televised public relations for 'India Against Corruption' (inc.) along with well timed tweets and re-tweets from the Ramdev network, brand endorsements from Bollywood (those wonderful, shiny people who are so clean that they rarely feel the need to make or receive payments by cheque) and several right-thinking, right living, right-wing eminences translated into large numbers attending the protest at Jantar Mantar and other venues elsewhere in the country.
This – 'attendance' – too – had a virtually self-perpetuating character. We heard people on television exhorting everyone to come to Jantar Mantar. And then we heard people at Jantar Mantar tell everyone on television that they had come because they had heard the appeal on television to come to Jantar Mantar. And then they repeated that appeal. And then the reporter, and then the anchor faithfully echoed that appeal. And then some more people turned up at Jantar Mantar. And so the wheel turned, and turned, and turned.
The three days of events at 'Justice on Trial' were also packed to capacity, regardless of the absence of television coverage, regardless of televised appeals. Newspapers, such as the Hindu and the Mail Today did carry substantial reporting of the proceedings, as did the website of a magazine called Hard News (after the event) . Even the Times of India carried Sharmila Tagore's exhortation to young people asking them not to be indifferent to the fate of Dr. Binayak Sen. Facebook messages proliferated.
Afterwards, you could see Danish Husain and Mahmood Farooqui's dastangoi performance for Dr. Sen on blogs like this one, and download (from Facebook and Youtube links) the sharp and highly political rap and ska music that the Delhi band – Ska Vengers performed, or the tracks that the alt-trock band 'Them Clones' presented, or compositions that emerging musicians like Imphal Talkies, Manzil and Faith Gonsalves – (who spoke of having met Binayak Sen as she sang her favourite protest songs ) performed. These uploads went viral, but television stayed immune. Remotes were remote from the action on Binayak Sen.
Even as Anna Hazare and Narendra Modi were delicately constituting their mutual admiration society, TV news could not bring itself to deal with the fact that barely days ago, a packed hall of several hundred people, (with several hundreds more spilling over around a projection on a screen outside the auditorium) had roared its applause at 'Justice on Trial' when the Ska Vengers called Modi out with their music for what he had allowed to occur under his watch in Gujarat in 2002. They called it 'murder'. But television was not listening to the sharpness and intelligence of their music that night.
It was almost as if the television news was living up to the image that the Ska Vengers rapped out – (and you have to imagine this delivered in the slightly gravelly, 'ska' inflected baritone of Taru Dalmia a.k.a 'Delhi Sultanate' and the crisp, sinuous energy of Samara C as they sang) –
"…Now the guns them bust
Rougher than rough
Suffer in silence
News never cover you much
Cuz they love violence
Now we're in a newsflash
Now ministers say
Insurgency must crush
So its encounter killing
And hands in handcuffs
Nuff leaders are madmen in a goldrush
And in GK they live posher than posh…"
No, 'the News' does 'never cover you much'. Nor was the 'News' able to bear witness to the edginess, and the razor-sharp politics in the performances by Arjun Raina or Inder Salim. Arjun Raina, in full Kathakali regalia, drew parallels between Dr. Binayak Sen and Leonard Peltier, a Native American activist unjustly detained in the US prison system for decades in his performance 'Bird on a Wire'. Something about the uncanny and fragile silence towards the end of his performance, as he spoke of what made his aged father recall his 'Naxalite' years in the late 60s and the early 70s, or what made Leonard Peltier tick in the silence of the prison yard made concrete sense on the first evening of 'Justice on Trial', but television would not have known what to do with that sense.
Nor would it have known what to do with Inder Salim, known for his provocative but sensitive evocation of the situation in his native Kashmir through striking instances of performance art. Inder Salim dedicated his performance on the second evening to Dr. Binayak Sen by encasing his head in a cage, locking the cage, holding a brush between his teeth and painting the phrase 'I Am Binayak Sen' on a canvas with the motions of his caged head. He threw the key to the cage at the audience and said – 'you are the key'.
Outside the auditorium, there was a constant throng of people on all three evenings. They bought books and badges, took in the exhibition of posters on Binayak Sen's life and work designed by several well known graphic artists including Orijit Sen, Vishwajyoti Ghosh, and Parismita Singh and created a space of informal and convivial solidarity that is rare to find in the otherwise rather staid political culture of protest in Delhi. Many of the people who constituted this gathering were not the ones that one can characterize as the 'usual suspects' in such contexts. It was as if a new generation, and a new kind of person was tentatively trying out a new vocabulary of political presence, across and beyond the labyrinths of class, discursive formation and political style. This was a new Delhi and the tentative presence of the possibility of a new kind of politics. There were few of the usual cliches, the music and slogans were not the usual mix of piety and secular-liberal lamentation, nor, thankfully, were there any people holding hands and candles. There was anger, there was rage, there was joy and a certain surprise at the recognition that people could instinctively feel about the presence of something new between the things said and unsaid in the course of the three evenings.
Inside, there were images, words, music and a sense of urgency that rarely, if ever, felt heavy or oppressive. The screening of Anand Patwardhan's film 'Prisoners of Conscience' on political prisoners during the internal Emergency (1975-77)and of the National Award winning documentary by Haobam Paban Kumar on the Armed Forces Special Powers Act in Manipur – 'AFSPA : 1958' prompted lively discussions. A question that hovered over the discussion went like this – "Does the detention of Dr. Binayak Sen and several others under colonial era laws like the Sedition act, or the exceptional violence and humiiatation visited, say, upon the Manipuri people as a consequence of the AFSPA constitute evidence of a sitation of an undeclared emergency?". The Sahitya Akademi Award winning poet Manglesh Dabral, Patwardhan himself and Sharmila Tagore seemed to think so when they spoke on a panel that followed the screening of 'Prisoners of Conscience'. But television was not listening. Nor was it listening when Vrinda Grover (lawyer) Prof. Ilina Sen (feminist academic & Dr. Binayak Sen's courageous and dignified partner) and Aruna Roy (Right to Information Activist) spoke of the necessity, and the responsibility, to combat cynicism and despair even in the darkest of times.
In a panel on the third and final day, Kavita Srivastav (civil liberties activist and comrade of Dr. Sen), Arundhati Roy (writer), Prof. Amit Bhaduri (Economist), Prashant Bhushan (advocate) and Amit Sengupta (journalist) spoke at length about the exceptional situation in Chhatisgarh and the broader political and economic contexts against which the assault on civil liberties needs to be seen. The content of these discussions did not have the character of the stage managed consensus that we saw emerge in television studios on exactly the same evenings. There was nuance, there were divergences, differences of emphasis and an attempt at dealing with complexity. All this should have made news. It did not.
The parallel occurrence of two different public mobilizations at a distance of a few kilometers from each other in the national capital almost affords us with a set of laboratory test conditions for experimentally gauging the responsiveness of the electronic media to public issues. The results of this particular experiment are now transparently available.
As events go, the two mobilizations were comparable, at least to begin with. Both had sizable numbers of 'idealistic' and telegenic young middle class people – the kind that news television loves to have on air. The atmosphere, at both venues, had a defiantly festive atmosphere. And I can vouch for the fact that the music at 'Justice on Trial' was far superior. Both had their fair share of celebrities, Sharmila Tagore, rooting for Binayak Sen, Anupam Kher, rooting for the draft Jan Lokpal Bill.
Seventeen prominent artists, including Subodh Gupta, Bharti Kher, Probir Gupta, Ram Rahman, Gigi Scaria, Mithu Sen, Shreyas Karle and others – contributed art work to an exhibition held in solidarity with Dr. Sen at the 'Justice on Trial' venue. They read out a statement that asked, among other things, for the scrapping of the Sedition law, in the presence of no less an eminence than the veteran American feminist, and civil rights activist Angela Davis. Angela Davis spoke to the gathered artists and others at the exhibition, saying that were it not for people like them in the United States , she too, like Dr. Sen, would still have been languishing in prison in California.
The artists statement, which was read alound during the opening of the exhibition, says –
"…The Sedition Law directly attacks the freedom of expression, and is therefore impossible to reconcile with the conditions necessary for a healthy atmosphere for culture, art and intellectual life. As artists, we understand that we are directly affected by any attack on the freedom of expression and conscience. We understand the value of liberty, because without it, we cannot work. It is for this reason that we cannot be indifferent when we witness attacks on liberty. No civilized society sends an individual like Dr. Binayak Sen to prison for doing what can only be regarded his duty as a medical professional and as a civil rights activist. If it can happen to Binayak Sen today, it can happen to anyone tomorrow…"
Under ordinary circumstances, one would expect that were you to hear some of the most prominent (and rightly so) contemporary artists in this country, whom the media otherwise loves to lionize (not because it is interested in the content of their art but because it is eager to 'scoop' the prices of their work) speaking out against the detention of political prisoners and arguing that the law on sedition must go, you would find a news-hungry media just as eager to report such an occurrence as it is when it flashes a Bollywood celebrity's politically-correct tweet, or re-tweet. Mysteriously, this was not the case. Neither Subodh Gupta, nor Bharti Kher, nor Probir Gupta, nor Sharmila Tagore, nor Angela Davis made the cut on Television. Was it because they were all taking a stand about a man called Binayak Sen? (Sharmila Tagore, who had done her homework, even gestured towards the atrocities committed by the Salwa Judum and the Koya Commandos, but again, the electronic media was not listening.)
Irom Sharmila, who featured briefly in Haobam Paban Kumar's film on Manipur, whose hunger striking credentials stretch far more impressively than Anna Hazare's do, has rarely, if ever, made it on television in any meaningful way. And that is not because she is any less telegenic think than the cute veteran from Ralgan Siddhi, So lets rule that out, but, could it be, could it just be that this is because Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Kiran Bedi and Rishi Kapoor haven't quite made up their minds about what to do regarding the 'corruption' eating into the Indian Republic's moral centre courtesy the Armed Forces Special Powers Act? Perhaps, like the counsel for Chhatisgarh in the Supreme Court, they too need some time to think about this 'other' kind of corruption. More time, much more time.
Yes, a reporter and camera crew of one news channel did make an appearance on one of the days at 'Justice on Trial' , but their report has not yet seen the light of day. Perhaps the managing editors of the channel the crew represent did not think they had the time to show that report. Like the counsel for the State of Chhatisgarh, and the worthies I just mentioned, perhaps they too, need more time, and yet more time, before they can listen adequately to what is happening in prisons and court houses across our world-cup winning Republic over the din of the relentless background muzak of their anti-corruption campaigns.
Some people, such as the lawyer Prashant Bhushan, even appeared in both places – at Jantar Mantar, and at 'Justice on Trial' . Prashant Bhushan spoke eloquently about what is happening at Chhatisgarh, and is of course one of the prominent faces in the movement crystallizing around the draft Jan Lokpal Bill. And yet, you did not see Prashant Bhushan talk about Binayak Sen on TV last week. We saw Swami Agnivesh repeatedly on Television, as an interlocutor for Anna Hazare, and yet, no one found it necessary, in the course of all his appearances, to ask him even a single question about the fact that his deposition had been heard the the very same day in the Supreme Court in the PIL against the State of Chhatisgarh on the issue of the Salwa Judum.
Granted, corruption makes news, and ought to make news. But how do even begin to understand and explain the silence and the void on television when it comes to a consideration of disappearances, the burning of villages, rape, and the impunity enjoyed by the militia armed by the state. Is the density of the discourse around corruption so intense as to constitute a black hole which swallows every form of dissent that cannot be translated by television into an automatic call for strengthening the state ?
By the time the last act on the last evening of Justice on Trial – Mahmood Farooqui and Danish Husain's brilliant Dastangoi performance – 'Dastan e Sedition banaam Hakim Sen' ended, the atmosphere in the auditorium had been absolutely electrified. Farooqui and Husain began, as they always do, by invoking with their words, in Urdu, the most beautiful, delirious, incisive and wicked language known to humanity, the image of a 'Tilism' – a magic sphere governed by the magician Afrasiyab and his minions – whose spell has to be broken by itinerant 'Ayyars' (tricksters who are virtuous, intelligent and mischievous as hell). In this dastan, dedicated to Dr. Sen, the two story tellers set their tilism in a barely disguised Chhattisgarh, which they called Kohistan, and took us into the depleting undergrowth of its MoU threatened forests and the thickets of its courtrooms and prisons.
The baroque form of the dastangoi tradition makes it possible for us to conceive of tilisms within tilisms, spells upon spells, enchantments upon enchantments. And the spell of televised spectacle, which sculpts the noise as well as the silence of our political life, is precisely such a device. It envelopes everything from the 'Judum-Judum' noise of stormtroopers in the forest to the drone of judgements meted out in courtrooms and television studios. It conjures entire revolutions in and out of thin air at a moments notice, wraps repression in bright colours and makes it dance to noble sentiments and stirring music. It is an enchantment spun by great spin-doctors, emperors of dissimulation, the veritable Afrasiyabs of our times. It is to combat such powerful spells that a few ayyars of Delhi – artists, filmmakers, writers and others, and hundreds of decent, good people who are as disturbed by disappearing people as they are by disappearing money had gathered for those three evenings last week at the Alliance Francasie de Delhi.
As often happens in a dastan, Afrasiyab's spell may have won the first round, and the tilism seems all powerful now. But the memory of how the Ayyars acted, as recounted by the chroniclers of our time, may yet succeed in breaking the spell that drapes the currently supine form of justice and liberty. The people of Kohistan, Hindustan, may yet open their eyes. Chhatisgarh may see an end to a meaningless war. Dr. Binayak Sen may yet return to his clinic and Kopa Kunjam to his vitally necessary work.
I have heard it said that Judges generally stay aloof from the tilism spun by television and the powerful elite that set its agendas. This morning, as dawn breaks, I hope that the honorable judges who will sit on the two benches that will hear the two cases pertaining to Chhatisgarh will make up their minds, uncontaminated by the silence and the noise of the tilism at the end of the remote-controls in their living rooms. I hope they will act by listening to their consciences and by paying attention to what I pray is their innate sense of fairness and justice. In any case, regardless of whether they do so or not, the Ayyars who stood by Dr. Sen last week in Delhi had better stay prepared to combat the spell for the long haul. The tilism is not going to break so easily. But give in it will in the end. We have to make sure that there can be no other way for this dastan to end.
POSTSCRIPT : Since this post was written and uploaded this morning, we have received the news that the Supreme Court bench of Hon'ble Justices H.S. Bedi and C.K. Prasad has granted bail to Dr. Binayak Sen. This is very welcome news. A friend (Samina Mishra) posted on facebook that a small crack seems to have appeared on the Tilism. We will all have to keep working to ensure that this crack widens, and that one day, the spell of the Tilism is broken.

You mean that what Anna Hazare was protesting being a first person concern for a vast majority of the country had nothing to do with it?
These articles are getting so "niche" that they are losing the larger picture. Just inflaming a sense of wrongdoing achieves nothing.
There are many who believe that Dr. Binayak Sen is wrong even though I don't. Binayak Sen is in one part of the country. There are many who believe that the AFSPA keeps India safe, even though I don't. The AFSPA is applied to some parts of the country. I have yet to meet anyone who thinks corruption is a good idea. This applies to the whole country. Judgmental observations will not change that.
April 15, 2011 1:59 PM
Corruption is not as bad as idea as it is made out to be…The Nazis were not corrupt…Stalin and his regime were not corrupt…America is not corrupt but the Native Americans are not impressed by its uncorruptable state…and so to the defintion of corruption …etc…etc…

@ Vidyut, "Judgmental Observations will not change that."
Wow, being non-committal on somebody getting wrongly jailed (Binayak) or being shot at sight simply on suspicion of being a terrorist (AFSPA) is apparently better than 'judgmental observations'…
And getting all heated up about your 'hard-earned' money being siphoned off by evil people 'out there' (isn't that how we think of corruption?) is better than thinking about Binayak and AFSPA or the huge population in this country that doesn't even have the luxury of earning money – hard or easy. Thanks for making your own 'judgmental observations' so blatant, Vidyut, so we can all save time trying to guess what they are.

This is, quite simply, the best piece of political commentary I have read recently. All manner of kudos to Shuddha across the full spectrum from aadabs to the sashtaang namaskar!
I am writing mainly to incite him and other "kaafilaiterers" to address — in a comparably illuminating and powerful manner — further issues relating to the differential media resonance and "popular presence" of different strands of the two issues. It would be particularly useful to try and distinguish what is important (and worth addressing) and what is not in such vexed issues as, for example — a) Binayak Sen vs. Equally Important but Anonymous Others in the Chattisgarh struggle; b) Chattishgarh & Maoism as particulars vs. "Tribal" issues and "Radical" politics more generally; c) Anna Hazare vs Other Tendencies/Strands in the broader Transparency/Anti-Corruption struggles.

The argument that sedition law should be scrapped because it is a colonial era Law is Simply ABSURD , because our Judges still wear wigs and IPC is basically taken from the pages of ECL our whole Public administration system was designed by the colonials, so by that logic everything from IAS to rashriprathi bhavan should be scrapped

Media may give more importance to some issues and less importance to some. It is equally true of Kafila and many other sites.I can find fault with Kafila and most of the so called left and progressive websites for not giving importance to thee evidence that suggested Pakistan's hand in 26/11 and giving more importance to criticisng what is called as saffron terrorism.I can say the same about Sathish Deshpande's one sided articles in EPW as he simply ignores the other side/perspectives that challenge his views. Big media has a bias and supports some causes and personalities while ignoring many other causes. Ditto for Kafila, Ditto for EPW. Those who complain about others silences should be aware of theirs first. Silence could be due to ignorance as well.

I have yet to meet anyone who thinks imprisoning good doctors on false charges is a good idea.
On the other hand, I've met plenty of people who think what a particular law may call corruption isn't wrong — a lot of those people knowingly choose to help re-elect politicians who are charged with corruption. They must have different views on it.
So Kafila's not really that niche.
Sunalini permalinkApril 16, 2011 10:16 AM
Shuddha, beautiful prose, but sorry, a gathering at Alliance Francaise is not comparable to the Hazare spectacle, whatever my personal opinion on that spectacle may be. Television is utterly and totally ridiculous today, very true. Maybe one of the most dangerous illusions of our time is the idea of the neutral fourth estate; along with the idea that a bombardment of technologies of recording 'reality' (whose most extreme manifestations are the idea of the citizen journalist, CCTVs and mobile phone cameras) will create more and more freedom and justice. Ha, the illusion that cameras and microphones are merely inert pieces of techne through which reality flows freely, sans judgment and bias….
What further muddies the waters is that regimes of new technology or their proliferation also cannot seem to escape the imprint of history – the fact that private television channels appeared when India had begun to shine for the middle classes – that fact seems to have sealed their fate for the foreseeable future as far as them becoming truly 'mass media' (mass in a numerical sense) is concerned. Publics have been engineered since the advent of modernity (starting with the reading publics and coffee houses of early modernity), and television is busy engineering its own in our times. Indeed, my worry with your other article on Anna Hazare (again, very beautifully written) is not that it was too cynical but that it wasn't cynical enough…my prediction for the Anna phenomenon? That it will be absorbed quite effortlessly by the large, murky swamp of the state; indeed by the labyrinthine interstices of the legislative, executive and judicial arms of the state. Not to mention by the party system, which will use the campaign in several ways in the immediate future. Neither will a truly draconian Lokpal be allowed to emerge overriding the current elite convergence on governance and the existing formally democratic structures; nor will a hundred democratic flowers bloom in the countryside. If we're talking of principles of course, you are bang on target. The idea of a supra-legislative/judicial body should be anathema to anybody who is committed to the principles of representative democracy. But my point is that Principle and Idea doth not this phenomenon make. This is something else, something that can perhaps be captured more precisely by contingent histories, political narratives and biographies of the kind that Mukul has undertaken, or the kind that I'm hoping to post this afternoon by Aditya Sarkar.
Anyway, coming back to the Alliance and Binayak, apart from the fact that a gathering at Alliance does not count as 'public' to me in quite the same way as one at Jantar Mantar (however narrow even that other gathering may be for other reasons) are you not at least a little suspicious of the timing of this event and its generous hosting by the French in India, just at the time that they are seeking to create a left-liberal legitimacy for international intervention apropos Libya? Remember how India reacted to the international observers at Binayak's hearing in Raipur? Why are the French being allowed to muscle their way in on an 'internal matter' (India's paranoid, hyper-nationalistic response) this time? Why has this cause become THE legitimate cause for certain people to support? You will agree that an event of this sort would be harder to organise for Irom Sharmila, for instance? Arguably, the support for Binayak has also benefited from earlier rallies and similar cultural programmes at Jantar Mantar, which is a very different space from the Alliance…what I'm saying is, this event cannot simply be explained as "artists, filmmakers, writers and others, and hundreds of decent, good people who are as disturbed by disappearing people as they are by disappearing money…(gathering) for those three evenings last week at the Alliance Francasie de Delhi." For one, those disturbed by disappearing money are almost never the same as those disturbed by disappearing people – the response to those two disappearances signal very different kinds of political education; and two, there are diverse reasons why hundreds (come on, it was closer to fifty to maybe hundred at the more serious panel discussions) would land up at such an event. Most would have some degree of concern for Binayak, true, but they would also be drawn by the excitement that comes from seeing those artists, filmmakers and the odd literary or film celebrity gathered in one space, and seeing PLUs' (people like us). It's true for most of us, so really no judgment intended. Really, it is the easiest thing to do for most of us, to attend an event with nice music, intelligent discussions and good films in the comfort of Lutyen's Delhi. Makes us feel good, too. I hope to God that such an event affects the fate of the Binayak trial in the right direction, even if to a tiny degree, but as to why it was well attended, or what were the type of people attending, it was pretty clear to me.
None of this reduces the importance of trying as hard as we can to make those venn diagrams of political constituencies overlap – to forcefully argue for the media to create opportunities for real debate, and so on…but I remain circumspect about the scale and importance of any event at the Alliance Francaise.

Manash permalinkApril 17, 2011 3:13 AM
Your post doesn't make sense. It is dishonest to say the least. You visited Aliance but I don't think you went for the Anna show. That by itself should have sufficed for you but it seems it didn't. Maybe you are being self-critical. Possible. But it doesn't have to be at the expense of Suddha's piece. I have differed vehemently with him on other occasions but this piece warranted love, and am amazed you tried to bring up some convoluted points to get at him. The history of television and such lecturing was unwarranted. you could have clarified on how you looked at Anna Hazare vis-a-vis Binayak Sen. You of course don't have to buy the dichotomy, you could have refused it. Shuddha brought the binary up and I think he did it for good reasons. We have to make distinctions when the public, through popular media, is also making distinctions. We have to push the political envelope. Why France and a French centre is involved is really such a deplorably side-issue. Don't go there next time you want to catch an event. Unless of course you go to such places to snub them later. Which you have the right to.

The Sedition law, like the Blasphemy law in Pakistan, should be repealed because (1) the 'crime' is vaguely specified, (2) it is open to abuse, and (3) it is incompatible with freedom of expression and conscience, and therefore has no place in a democracy. Sedition is blasphemy against the state.
Srinivas permalinkApril 18, 2011 2:19 PM
I didn't know much about either Binayak Sen or Anna Hazare when I first read about them in the newspapers recently. I am just a middle-class common man for whom personal survival and progress is paramount.
Binayak Sen, I read, is a great person who worked on public health issues in remote villages of Chattisgarh who was arrested on charge of sedition as Maoist material was found with him and he visited jailed Maoists. People who were fighting for his release argued that Binayak Sen has freedom of expression of ideas which may be sympathetic to the Maoists, but he cannot be arrested just based on that alone unless it is proven that he actually worked with the Maoists against the government (like killing police or bombing public property).
Anna Hazare was name which appeared familiar, but I had to look him up on Wikipedia to read about how he brought together all people of Ralegaon Siddi in building an ideal village and so on. The newspapers said he was Padmabhushan fighting for legislation of something called Jan Lokpal Bill which makes politicians who control organizations such as CVC and CBI accountable.
Now, if there were public agitations organized by supporters of these two individuals which one would I chose to join?
On one hand we have a person who is arrested for helping the Maoists who are waging battles against a democratically elected government. May be he is innocent of sedition. May be he is just a sympathizer who keeps Maoist material at home and visits Maoists in prison but himself doesn't do anything illegal. On the other hand, we have a person who is working with a democratically elected government in trying to make the government more accountable. May be his methods are not very democratic. But yet, the whole concentration of what he is currently fighting for is improvement of democratic institutions.
For anyone who is believes in constructive improvement of our democratic institutions, the choice is between a sympathizer of people who believe in killing democratically elected leaders, government personnel like police who represent democratically elected governments, and a person who is strengthening such democratic institutions by making them more accountable. I would choose Anna Hazare.

For the so called media leaders ,Dr.Binayak has no use and they ignored him.Let us forgive them untill they are awakened by the people<s movement.

Shudhabratta Sengupta writes so well on an impinging issue which, indeed,needs such reasoned and emotionally distilling engagement. The event at Alliance Francaise is distinguished from that at Jantar Mantar by the 'absence' of television. And indeed that is what gives it meaning and gravitas. Television would only have, to use the medium's favourite metaphor, "tainted" what – from Shudhabratta's account – was a remarakable, rebellious celebration. Why would any one subject this unique occasion to TV's baleful glare?

25th Apil 2011 will be the 43rd listing of the Salwa Judum matter in the Supreme Court (the PILs were filed in 2007). The matter has been listed 17 times in the last year alone, of which the Chhattisgarh or Union counsels have asked for time pleading sickness, or need to ask for instructions, at least 8 times.
The main outcome of the case so far is that the lead petitioner in WP 119/2007, Kartam Joga, is now in prison. He was arrested in August 2010 on five separate charges, including the absurd accusation that he was involved in the ambush and killing of the 76 CRPF men in Tadmetla on April 6 last year. A few months ago, he was transferred from Dantewada to Jagdalpur jail, after going on hunger strike, along with other CPI workers, in protest against the spate of illegal arrests by SRP Kalluri.
The second petitioner, Dudhi Joga, whose house was burnt down like that of many others in his village Arlampalli, continues to stand testimony for the failure of the state government to compensate victims, despite the repeated directions of the Supreme Court.
The third, Manish Kunjam, had his protection restored by the Supreme Court a full year after it was withdrawn. He had been credibly warned that his life was in danger.
To live in Dantewada, to file a case against the government at a time when Salwa Judum was at its peak, to hold rallies against the violence and the injustice, and to maintain sanity and hope, requires courage of the highest order. The CPI in fact was the first to properly document what was happening with Salwa Judum, and is also the only party in the area led entirely by adivasis.
Kopa Kunjam, another local hero, was arrested on equally trumped up charges, and his bail has been rejected by the high court. And for what – for liasing with government to rehabilitate villages devastated by the Judum.
Yet, given the independent left's increasing disdain for organised party politics, and the class bias in activism among other things, it is sad, but not surprising, that even of those who attended the Alliance meeting for Binayak Sen, few would be able to name or place these four extraordinary men.

Though the city doesn't officially sponsor Spring Break, the first group of college students from the Midwest is expected to check in.
A number of Florida colleges are also on break this coming week, so crowds are expected at the beach.
Spring Break runs through March 30.

Taha Tabish and Misbah-ul Haque became a huge part of each other's lives when they started working to provide change to those in need. They met through their grandmothers, who met at their local Mosque while visiting from Pakistan.
In 2008, Misbah travelled to Ghana with Operation Groundswell, an organization that goes by the motto "backpacking with a purpose." The knowledge and growth he attained during his travels lit a spark within him.
"The knowledge, the skills … Ghanaians could do things that I couldn't do!" he said. Upon returning from his trip, Misbah was eager to travel again–and Taha was intrigued to go along.
In 2009, the two set off for Ghana. The trip inspired ideas for how they could meaningfully contribute to communities in need, and small conversations turned into big plans.
"We weren't trying to come up with a grand idea," Taha said. "It just happened."
The two soon became great friends, and in 2010 they registered G-Roots, a not-for-profit organization in Canada and Ghana. Their mission is to help develop communities by instilling sustainable income methods with a focus on sustainable farming and irrigation.
The Canadian team consists of Taha, Misbah, their web developer Yun Sik Shin and the Director of Business Development, Steve Reiss. Evans Akanpol, the Program Coordinator, and Ghanaian Executive Director Joseph Abobtey are both Ghanaian representatives for G-Roots as well as the ambassadors for the Kadema community they work with in the Buliisa region of Northern Ghana.
Joseph had already been doing great things in his community for years before Taha and Misbah contacted him. Taha and Misbah first approached Joseph to discuss what needed the most attention in the region, and he quickly became the liaison between the community and the boys.
"It's Joe's baby," Taha admits when speaking of G-Roots.
"Learning on the go" is how the boys describe the experience of creating G-Roots; however, Taha recently finished his Master's in Public Health and Misbah graduated from York University's International Development program.
Although the organization is still young, the research and growth that has been seen in Ghana and Canada is enormous. Numerous G-Roots volunteers have traveled to the Buliisa region during July and August over the past couple years to study the land quality and see what the farmers in this region need most. G-Roots aims to instill sustainable solar-based power and products into the community, which will save the farmers a lot of money in the future.
Taha and Misbah have been very fortunate with the help they've received from volunteers wanting to support their cause. The Toronto team is in the midst of planning their 100 Days of Change Campaign, a social media-based campaign aimed at raising funds for some of their new sustainable farming strategies such as solar irrigation and livestock while inspiring Toronto to step up and make positive changes in themselves and in their community. Set to launch January 1st, 100 Days of Change Campaign funding will be used to purchase livestock for the community.
Ghana's dry season will bring many new reports and research for Taha and Misbah to start off the new year with further insight into their sustainable farming project.
Action Items:
1) Visit www.g-roots.ca to learn more about the organization and/or to volunteer.
2) Join us to launch the 100 Days of Change Campaign. Visit www.g-roots.ca or www.raineforwater.org for details.
3) Do some research about the country of Ghana.

The award recognizes a select group of college basketball student-athletes who have made significant contributions to the greater good of their communities through volunteerism and civic service.
In its second year, the Allstate NABC and WBCA Good Works Teams® honor players at all levels of college basketball who represent the sport's finest in the areas of leadership and charitable achievements amongst their peers. The student-athletes nominated for this prestigious award embody the true spirit of teamwork and giving back.
"Allstate is proud to recognize these two outstanding groups of men and women whose commitment to service and volunteerism demonstrate that 'good works' extend beyond the basketball court," said Pam Hollander, senior director of marketing for Allstate Insurance Company and a member of the 2014 NABC and WBCA Good Works Teams® selection panels. "Each of the nominees serves as a role model and inspiration to future generations seeking ways to give back, and another reason to celebrate the good happening in our communities."
While jump shots and rebounds earn recognition on the hardwood, the Allstate NABC and WBCA Good Works Teams® help tell the stories of good taking place off the court that often go unnoticed. It is those players who demonstrate the exceptional ability to balance academics with athletics while donating their limited free time to serving others who have been nominated by their respective colleges and universities for this prestigious honor.
The 2014 nominees uphold impressive service resumes detailing unique and inspiring stories of servitude. From volunteering with sick and underprivileged children to lobbying state legislature for new laws that could help save lives, this exceptional group of young men and women demonstrate the positive impact student-athletes can have on-and-off the court.
From the 117 NABC nominees and 84 WBCA nominees submitted by sports information directors across the nation on behalf of their schools, special voting panels will select two 10-member teams comprised of five student-athletes from the NCAA® Division I level and five student-athletes from NCAA® Divisions II, III and the NAIA. Former Duke University student-athlete, two-time NCAA champion and seven-time NBA All-Star Grant Hill will headline the Allstate NABC Good Works Team® voting panel, while WNBA basketball star Tamika Catchings, who played at the University of Tennessee, will serve on the Allstate WBCA Good Works Team® panel. The final roster of 20 award recipients will be unveiled in February.
Members of the Allstate NABC Good Works Team® will be invited by Allstate, an official corporate partner of the NCAA®, to the 2014 NABC Convention and 2014 NCAA® Men's Final Four® in Dallas, where they will participate in a community project in the city. Members of the Allstate WBCA Good Works Team® will be recognized during the 2014 WBCA Convention and at the 2014 NCAA® Women's Final Four® in Nashville, and will also participate in a local community project. Allstate is an official corporate partner of the NABC, WBCA and NCAA.
"The partnership of the NABC and Allstate provides an outstanding opportunity to recognize 117 men's college basketball players who have been nominated for the 2014 Allstate NABC Good Works Team®," said NABC Executive Director Jim Haney. "The contributions they have made locally, nationally and globally are uplifting and demonstrate their great compassion, spirit and determination."
In addition to Hollander, Hill and Catchings, the 2014 Allstate NABC and WBCA Good Works Teams® selection panel members include: former college basketball players Greg Anthony (UNLV), Mateen Cleaves (Michigan State) and Alana Beard (Duke); former head coaches Bobby Cremins (College of Charleston), Seth Greenberg (Virginia Tech), Marsha Sharp (Texas Tech) and Nell Fortner (Auburn); current college basketball coach Coquese Washington (Penn State); and media members Seth Davis (Sports Illustrated/CBS), Dana O'Neil (ESPN), Carolyn Peck (ESPN) and LaChina Robinson (ESPN/FOX).
Since 2008, Allstate has partnered with the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) as sponsor of the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team®, which shines a spotlight on the positive, off-the-field impact college football student-athletes have on their communities. Through an arrangement with the AFCA, NABC and WBCA, Allstate is able to expand the Good Works Team® to also recognize college basketball student-athletes at all levels who donate their time and effort to make a difference off the court.
More information about the Allstate NABC Good Works Team® and the Allstate WBCA Good Works Team® is available at www.nabc.org and www.wbca.org.

Say goodbye to bad hair days!Basically, I've been using crappy hair dryers all my life till now. I had a Philips Salon shine 1500W dryer, which never really did anything for me, other than give my hair a lion mane look. So I finally decided to splurge a little more and get a better dryer. I had to choose between the D5020 and the 2011, but I took this because the D5020 has more power. Professional salon dryers always have higher power settings, so you can blow dry your hair without frying it, and also this minimizes the frizz!

I love itRookie at blow drying hair then brush up your skill but . Do not buy this product if you have no experience in blow drying as it 2100 W . OMG professional work with such a hair dryer. BTW if you think a hair dryer will make your hair look great well honey with such a powerful dryer your hair can look hideous so practise . Remington hair has 3 heat setting and 2 speed setting which is good as you don't get so much options in other hair dryer . It has a diffuser which is best thing about this hair dryer you can curl your hair and you don't need a curler, plus you can dry your hair with a dif… (Expand)

SatisfactoryHey Everyone! First of all your choice of purchasing this model is right. This is an amazing blow-dryer. It has three speed and heat settings with a turbo and cool shot. The cord is long enough, at least for me it is. Flipkart took forever to deliver this product to me but at the end, the product was alright with no fault. I've had 2 blow-dryer's prior to these which were the two mistakes of mine. Although it is expensive, it's worth each penny.

Good enough.What I love about this dryer is that it is not heavy and looks chic. What I hate about it is the fact that it came sans an instruction booklet! I never used a dryer at home and have only some fuzzy idea (that too after lot of online search)about ''cool shot'', ''turbo setting'' etc... As for the attachments......what do I do with those?? The round one is HUGE and rather scary!! I am not even sure if that is to be used on the scalp :D Had to ask Google uncle a lot of questions.

Remington d5020 hair dryer (diffuser)I never knew we could get hair diffusers in india. Thanks to flipkart for making it available. A hair diffuser is a MUST have for a girl with curly hair. This diffuser works out the frizz by evenly distributing the heat and works perfect for my curls! Well defined, bouncy curls is what u get!
Jan 2, 2014
Heating is very minimalLoved it when I used for the first time..It makes no wonder unless u've loads of smoothening products on your hair. The heat produced even in max speed setting is very minimal, due to which u'll have to spend lotsa time to style ya hair. Weighs bit heavy, not suitable for personal use.

Simply AmazingI was tired of air drying my hair every time i washed it.It took too long and was really a hassle. Remington D5020 turned out to be just perfect for me.It dries your hair in just minutes and is perfect for people who have a strict morning schedule.

"Whether new to the Bible or looking to refresh the ol' memory, Edward Falzon's book provides readers with a fun and accessible pathway to reading and understanding one of the world's most influential texts." -- The Front Page Online
Black Jesus: Miracle Man
Last month in Manilla, two million very spiritual Filipinos herded around a statue of a black Jesus, attempting to touch it in the hope that it will cure random ailments.
Well, actually, looking at the statue, it seemed to me to be less a statue of a black Jesus and more a black statue of a white Jesus. It had no facial features that resembled an African; its hair was even wavy! So it was your typical honky Jesus, dipped in black paint. This, apparently, makes it more miraculous.
The statue is dressed, as the real Jesus always was, in the garb of Richard the Lion Heart.
The people were literally climbing over each other in an attempt to touch the statue, but with a couple of million people, most missed out. So they started throwing cloths at the people on the float, who would wipe the statue and throw the cloth back. Yes! Miracles are contagious! You didn't know?
Some people knew well in advance that they weren't going to get a touch, so they ingeniously brought their own statue to the blindly fervent event. This begs the question: Why would they bother going outside if they have their own special Afro-Jesus at home? Perhaps it's another of those special Christian Mysteries.
There are 90 million people in poverty in the eighty-percent-Catholic Philippines, despite centuries of prayer to Afro-Jesus. In other parts of the Christian world, poverty and disasters continue unabated under the watchful eye of White Jesus, Rainbow Jesus and Buddy Christ. But Christians never seem to think, "oh, wow, maybe this statue isn't actually doing anything." Is humanity still that stupid?
Yes. Yes we are. Right now, people in the United States who are otherwise quite reasonable, actually believe that "End Times" are upon us, announced by the mass-deaths of animals that have occurred in the last month. 3,000 avians in Arkansas, 40,000 crabs in Kent, 300 fowl in Faenza, and so on.
Sure, why not! I mean, religious types have identified pretty much every bad event in history as portents of End Times. Just because they were wrong about the 2004 tsunami, Adolf Hitler being the Antichrist, Jesus of Nazareth returning in 1914 and every single End-Times prediction in the last 2,000 years, doesn't mean they're necessarily wrong this time! So just like the faithful did in 999 when the Church announced the imminent return of the Anointed One, and in 1844 when William Miller tried the same trick, you should totally sell all your possessions and give them to a church of your choice.
But I digress.
So the Afro-Jesus Parade — I think that's its official name — caused two deaths and 50 injuries in 2008 on this special day of healing and miracles. This year, there don't seem to have been any deaths (score one for Jesus) but the number of injuries came uncomfortably close to 600, including fractures caused by the adulatory crush of the crowd.
When Katrina hit New Orleans, Christian survivors reported an increased faith in Yahweh, Jesus and the other guy, presumably because they prayed for their lives and lived. (The people who prayed for their lives and died anyway were not available for comment on whether their faith increased.)
I suppose, going on Katrina-based faith, the 1.99 million Filipinos who weren't injured can praise the Black Guy in the Sky for their continued good health.

Just 35 minutes away from the National Capital, Greater Noida is fast emerging as a symbol of modern day town planning. This is as a result of the pioneering efforts by the state government to create international standard infrastructure for integrated townships near Delhi, which has been amply backed by Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA), the force and brains behind this township.
That apart, innovative social scheme like mobile creches, mahila dairy and other technical schemes ensure the development of the rural and the weaker sections of the region, along with the township. According to Santosh Kumar Srivastava, additional chief executive officer, GNIDA, this sub-polis prides itself on the thrust it lays in keeping the city green.

Are Tokyo's Olympic Predictions Too Sunny?
Tokyo's victory this weekend to host the Olympic Games in 2020 led to a proliferation of statistics over the likely economic impact.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said he hoped it would lead the country out of years of deflation. The Tokyo government estimated the economic impact of the games at a whopping ¥3 trillion ($30 billion), or 0.6% of Japan's economy, with the creation of 150,000 jobs.
The Nikkei stock market has jumped 4% since the announcement.
But a few days later, and a number of party poopers are saying the projections look too optimistic.
"This enthusiasm is clearly misplaced," wrote Capital Economics economist Marcel Thieliant in a note.
Mr. Thieliant points out that total planned spending on the games, including operations and capital expenditure, is only ¥720 billion. Excluding capex that was planned before the games, the number falls to ¥460 billion.
Even allowing for cost overruns, as is typical, he estimates the annual expenditure on the games over the next seven years will be equal to only 0.04% of Japanese gross domestic product.
So where does the ¥3 trillion "economic impact" figure come from? The Tokyo government has estimated it will spend ¥350 billion on venues, ¥310 billion on operations (temporary employment of staff and security). Then it estimates ¥176 billion in spending from athletes and spectators, ¥228 billion in extra household consumption related to the games and ¥152 billion on other spending such as corporate marketing activities.
The multiplier effect this spending could have – by creating demand for other goods and services in the economy – is likely to add up to a total ¥3 trillion, the government estimates.
Skeptics say this is too optimistic.
As a purely commercial enterprise – looking at the cost of hosting an event versus the receipts from tickets sales and sponsorship – many games haven't even broken even.
Goldman Sachs, in this report last year, pointed out the Munich Olympics (1972) and Montreal Olympics (1976) made significant losses. Los Angeles (1984), Barcelona (1992) and Atlanta (1996) made profits.
When considering the cost of building venues and security, it's unlikely any games make money, the report found. "If one fully accounts for all of the costs related to hosting a games, it is questionable whether an Olympics ever truly makes a profit," it said.
But the report notes there are wider economic impacts. These are short-term effects from hiring staff and extra spending from consumers and tourists. These are hard to quantify and could be offset, for instance, by tourists who avoid cities during games, as Goldman Sachs notes.
This is where the Tokyo government could be too sunny, according to some observers.
Hideki Matsumura, senior economist at The Japan Research Institute, says the spending on public works is not a net gain as Japan's debt-laden government will have to cut spending elsewhere. Consumers, meanwhile, could tighten belts on other items if they spend on the Olympics.
"If you pile up all the projects and what-not involved in hosting the games, then yes, it could add up to ¥3 trillion, but you need to remember how this could slow other parts of the economy," Mr. Matsumura said. "I won't expect the games to bring any remarkable impact on the economy."
Takafumi Yamawaki, chief rates strategist at J.P. Morgan Securities in Tokyo, said the estimate could be too large, considering how some projects, like the new Olympic Stadium, costing ¥100 billion, were already planned before Tokyo was chosen to host the games.
Capital Economics' Mr. Thieliant says Tokyo is betting on a "huge multiplier" effect of the extra spending to get to the ¥3 trillion figure. He also points out that the 150,000 jobs will only be temporary.
There also are concerns the public spending could exacerbate the nation's already massive debt, which today stands at about 230% of GDP.
"If Tokyo sticks to its concept of hosting a compact games, fine," Dai-ichi Life Research Institute said in a note. "But if it decides to boost infrastructure development and allows massive public spending, it could induce excessive strains on the government's fiscal management."
Indeed, many analysts project the event could lead to a broader public construction boom.
"With the aging of important infrastructure built at the time of the last Tokyo Olympics, the decision to host the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo could spark calls for a massive rebuilding of infrastructure in the nation's capital," Barclays Securities Japan said in a note.
Beyond all this, there are the intangible benefits of a games: an improved image for Tokyo that could boost tourism and investment, ending a somber period in Japanese economic history.
But, as Goldman says, "these effects are more difficult to estimate."
