Thirsty for vengeance, young Mathayus trains at the Order of the Black Scorpion to sharpen his skills as a killing machine, then journeys to the underworld to retrieve the one sword that can help him defeat Sargon.

Time sheets: Vt. trooper worked 374 hours in June
Supervisor signed off on time sheets
Records show that a former Vermont state trooper accused of falsifying his time sheets put in for 374 hours of pay for four weeks in June.
The Burlington Free Press reported the hours after filing a Vermont Public Records request for former Sgt. James Deeghan.
Deeghan pleaded not guilty to false claims regarding the June time sheets.
The records show Deeghan worked 172 hours from June 3 to June 16, and 202 hours from June 17 to June 30. Each pay period included his normal 90 hours. Entries were listed for being on call, administrative time, responding to a burglar alarm and other incidents, and handling a patrol contract in Jericho.
A supervisor signed the time sheets.
Investigators were meeting with Jericho officials to discuss the contract.

It seems that speculations regarding snakes are the maximum. These slimy creatures are available in as many as 2900 species across the world. While some are highly vengeful and poisonous, there are others that are calm and non poisonous too. Thus, it is needless to say that some snakes do exist that can be tamed easily. Snakes that will make pets easily are characterized by docile attitude, together with easy to hold and easy to clean nature. So, here we bring a list of five such snakes that make great pets.
1. Corn Snake
The snake that tops the list of pet creatures is the corn snake. You will love to tame it because it has a maximum growth of six feet in length, though most of these remain restricted to five feet only. Corn snake is docile and has a good temperament. So, you are at the least threat of getting bitten. The snake is easy to maintain and once a week handling is enough for it. It eats thawed and frozen mice and rats. This variety of snakes comes in variegated shades and subsequent names such as snow, candy cane, creamsicle, etc. The most rewarding thing about corn snake is that if you provide it with proper growing conditions, it survives for a really long span.
2. King snake
King snake is a common pet reptile and comes in different species and sub-species, bearing names like California king snake, Florida king snake, mountain king snake, grey-banded king snake, etc. King snake is the most preferred pet snake because it can be easily captivated and tamed. Its average lengthwise growth is four to six feet, which is ideal for a domestic ambiance. You will also find it eating well and demanding the least of maintenance. The variety of skin color and contour of king snakes, ranging from stripes to banded and to speckled, create much visual interest about them too.
3. Gopher snake
This snake is considered having the best temperament among all the snakes that can be tamed easily. It is extremely predictable in nature and can be easily tamed. It eats well too and shows excellent feeding behavior. The maximum growth a gopher snake attains is six feet, which makes it a perfect pet snake. But some of these might grow a foot larger than that too, though it is very rare. Although the snake is not available in a wide plethora of colors like the king snake or the corn snake, its coat texture and color is definitely a visual splendor you cannot overlook.
4. Ball Python
This variety of snakes is best known for its aesthetic appeal, which features a bright combination of black and gorgeous yellow coat in general. Ball python is very good natured and does not bite at all. It grows to a maximum length of five and a half feet. Its average expectancy rate is 25 years and most of these attain that age if you ensure proper care. But the gravest drawback about this snake is that some of them are too finicky about their food. While a few of them find frozen rats and mice best, others may prefer fresh species only.
5. Garter snake
This variety is highly recommendable for a beginner snake keeper. The most important attribute that makes it a novice snake keeper's favorite is that it is tolerant to various and frequent handling, which forms the basic part of training for a beginner. Other than this, it is smaller in size which makes it easy to handle for a beginner. You can be assured of its docile nature and temperament and can be confident that it will never bite. You will also treasure its aesthetic appeal.

Uggla hits grand slam in 9th, rallies Braves
Published: Monday, April 14, 2014 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 15, 2014 at 12:12 a.m.
PHILADELPHIA — Dan Uggla hit two home runs, including a grand slam in the ninth inning Monday night that lifted the Atlanta Braves to a wild 9-6 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Evan Gattis also homered twice and Uggla drove in five runs as the Braves won their fourth straight. The teams combined for five homers and 12 runs in the final two innings.
Gattis, Uggla and Andrelton Simmons hit consecutive homers in the eighth that put Atlanta ahead 5-1.
Domonic Brown's three-run homer capped a five-run bottom of the eighth that gave the Phillies a 6-5 lead.
But the Braves rallied against Jake Diekman (1-1). B.J. Upton walked, Freddie Freeman reached on a grounder when second baseman Chase Utley made a questionable decision to try for a forceout and Justin Upton walked to load the bases with no outs.
After Gattis struck out swinging at a 98 mph fastball, Uggla drove an 0-2 pitch from Diekman deep into the seats in left.
Philadelphia's regular closer, Jonathan Papelbon, wasn't used because he had pitched three straight days.
Luis Avilan (3-1) wound up with the win and David Carpenter got his first save.
Ryan Howard homered and Marlon Byrd drove in two runs for Philadelphia. Utley had two hits, and is batting .489 this season.
Braves starter Ervin Santa matched his career high with 11 strikeouts. He pitched six innings and gave up one run and four hits.
Gattis put Atlanta in front 2-1 with a two-run homer in the sixth off Roberto Hernandez. After the Braves hit three more homers in the eighth, the Phillies loaded the bases with no outs against Avilan.
Howard struck out looking, but Byrd hit a two-run single that made it 5-3. Brown gave the Philadelphia the lead with his first homer since last Aug. 14.
The Upton brothers didn't get any hits, but they almost hit each other. Justin sent a liner that nearly took out B.J. as he led off third base. B.J. had to dive out of the way, got up slowly and stared at Justin in the batter's box in mock disgust.

In 1980, the
"health fair" concept was developed by Dr. John F. Brensike.
His research at the National Institute of Health in
Washington, D.C. led to the formation of the National Health
Screening Council for Volunteer Organizations. This became
the vehicle for promoting preventative health maintenance
throughout the nation. In Fort Wayne, the ABC affiliate,
WPTA-TV and the American Red Cross chose to partner and plan
for health fairs in their service areas of northeast Indiana
and northwest Ohio. An advisory committee was formed in 1980
with our first health fair offered in 1981.
In 1993 the Focus on Health program became a Midwest Alliance for Health Education Community Affairs Project.
The Midwest Alliance for Health Education is a 501 © 3 non-profit organization and the managing sponsor for Focus on Health.
Adult Focus on Health Program
Every spring, Focus on Health provides the community with
free health checks and interactive learning centers to
assist our participants in making informed health care
choices and to detect disease in pre-symptomatic stages. In
a traveling "health fair" format offered in
numerous locations
throughout our communities, individuals can access this free
or low cost service in various settings. To date, well over
150,000 adults between the ages of 18-100 have benefited
from this program.
At each location, free health checks include:
In addition, a health summary review with
professional nurse volunteers can provide referral service
and resource information. Many of the locations will have
osteoporosis, hearing, foot, oral cancer screenings
and access to balance testing at a few locations.
A blood chemistry profile, hemogram, PSA (prostate), TSH (thyroid), A1c (blood sugar average) and Vitamin D are available at all locations for a nominal fee. (See Health Checks/Screening)

On Oct. 20, 2009, 911 operators received a report of a hit and run at the Department of Economic Services building in Peoria, Ariz. Witnesses said an SUV struck two women in the parking lot. The victims were identified as 20-year-old Noor Almaleki, seen here, and 43-year-old Amal Khalaf.
When paramedics arrived, Noor was unconscious and lying face down in the gravel. She had been dragged several feet under the vehicle before it fled the scene. Noor was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, fighting for her life.
Although severely injured, Amal was able to identify the driver of the vehicle. She told police it was Faleh Almaleki, Noor's father.
The horrifying news that Noor Almaleki had been run over by her own father spread quickly among her friends.
"When I found out Noor was in an accident-- I was so shocked. I didn't wanna believe it," said Nuha.
"Is this true? Is my friend really-- hurt?" Sana said. "Why would something like this happen to Noor?"
"I didn't believe it at first...and when I found out exactly what had happened, and it was just...you know, really heartbreaking," said Adhi.
The 20-year-old college student was in a coma... fighting for her life.
"Noor's condition was -- was very critical," Peoria, Ariz. police detective Chris Boughey told "48 Hours Mystery" correspondent Troy Roberts. "She...suffered multiple vertebrae fractures, an ankle fracture, a severe closed head injury and multiple soft tissue injuries from head to toe, basically."
Noor's friend, Amal Khalaf, had been thrown 27 feet, fracturing her pelvis and femur. Miraculously, she survived.
"This is a serious crime," Det. Boughey said. "Two people were severely injured and it was an intentional act. That's a big deal."
But the man suspected of running them over -- Noor's father -- had vanished. So on Oct. 20, 2009, Det. Boughey launched a manhunt.

The Hindu, WikiLeaks and Me: Malarvizhi Jayanth
Guest post by MALARVIZHI JAYANTH
Once upon an election, the ruling party was bullying and booth-capturing recklessly. I was there. I saw it. Outside one booth, three Tata Sumos drove away at mad speeds, their screeching, spinning wheels blowing dust into my eyes in a scene straight out of the Tamil movies. I walked into the booth to find it had been ransacked minutes earlier. I saw weeping government officials and ballots with the stamp over the rising sun scattered everywhere. Other reporters saw similar scenes. Reporters received complaints of cash and biriyani(!) being distributed to voters.The management of the newspaper I worked for chose to run the Election Commission's claims that the elections had been without incident, rather than accounts from several reporters who had seen the captured booths and heard from voters who had been offered bribes. Two days later, when almost all other media (barring the usual suspects) had run outraged stories about the brazenness of the booth capturing, hesitantly, The Hindu followed suit. Today, they announce to us that cash for votes is a way of political life in Tamil Nadu. Yeah, thanks, we know that already. Too bad you couldn't believe your lowly brown-skinned reporters who told you all about it. A white man sends off a cable about it to his masters and then it becomes news? Really? The ways of power are mysterious. Now, The Hindu is releasing the WikiLeaks India cables to the world. Now, we know what many people in Tamil Nadu had been yelling about – that the Government of India was in cahoots with the Government of Sri Lanka to turn attention away from the bloodbath to wipe out the LTTE – was true. Now, in fact, we know that our worst fears and suspicions about institutions are often true. And now, I write about how I grew disenchanted with the newspaper I grew up with, the paper that framed my worldview, ruined my prose and beat any interest in journalism out of me.
Once I discovered that bottled water could have cyanide or shit or worse in it. This was when the Chennai Corporation was on a spree of taking water samples and blacklisting bottled water brands because they claimed the samples were unfit for consumption. So. I visited several private water-bottling facilities in the outer suburbs of the city. Several brands can get their water bottled from the same plant. I saw workers on the same premises segregating bottles after they had been sealed and pasting the stickers of different brands on them. All these plants had laboratories to test samples of the water they are bottling, to comply with regulations. Samples had tested positive for everything from cyanide compounds to faecal matter. They have recorded these cheerfully, I have no clue why – possibly because inspection officials can be bribed – and shown them to me equally cheerfully – possibly confident that a stupid woman would not understand what these record notebooks had to say.
I started drinking tap water from that day. I'm still alive.
I went to the government Bureau of Indian Standards lab to understand the process of water testing. They walked me through the steps involved in testing water samples.
I visited the Chennai Corporation lab where they claimed to be testing the water. My school's chemistry lab was better equipped. This place did not have a functioning refrigerator to store samples at low temperatures (a crucial part of the testing process). They showed me some grimy test tubes when I asked to see samples of the water that were being tested. The claims about testing water were clearly false. The moral of the story: None of them are clean – neither the bottlers nor the people claiming to be testing it. The article I wrote shuttled between the internal censors for more than a week. Then it was quietly rewritten for unreadability and published.
The Hindu is a good employer. They take care of their employees – practically free healthcare, heavily subsidised canteen food and all that jazz. I was a bad journalist. I did not know how to stay in the good books of the powers-that-be. I did not know how to impress the right people. Most of my stories about civic problems in the suburbs, the rites of the transgendered, the farmers markets in Thiruvallur and such-like trivia did not make the first three pages of the paper. Most importantly, I did not know how to cosy up to government officials – vital if I want to be able to milk them for stories later. I treated all of them like they had some communicable terminal illness. The Chennai Corporation Commissioner is a smooth operator who knows how to keep journalists and politicians happy. I pride myself on the fact that he yelled at me once when I was working on the water purification story. That is among the few moments in my journalistic career when I felt I was doing something right.
I wish I could say that I walked out of office in rage over some incident of internal censorship and never went back. The reason I actually quit was far more trivial. A few months later, salaries were raised across the board since the management wanted to hire ACJ graduates, who were all being offered much higher starting pay by other organisations. My salary raise still did not equal the pay that freshers were being offered, though I had been working for this newspaper for three years. I am an ACJ graduate myself (oh, the exquisite irony of it all) I fought to get the raise. Then I quit. There was high drama and exchange of memos and self-righteous letters because I refused to serve the notice period for resignation. Each time I cross that office I feel a thrill of joy that I no longer work there.
Cue next flashback: The first story I wrote for The Hindu was about the idle Braille press at the Government School for the Blind, Poonmallee. With the only government Braille press in Tamil Nadu out of action, none of the high school visually challenged students in the state would have individual textbooks for their board exams. The internal censor who decided which stories should be run from the city sat on this article for a week. He finally reluctantly allowed it to be published in one of the inside pages, buried between two ads. The headline was a quote from a government official. This was my first intimation that my employer (or his intermediaries) did not like stories that rocked the Establishment's boat. I thought this only applied to the government. I was wrong.
The students of an engineering college were up in arms when it became clear that their sprouted-overnight college did not have AICTE approval or any of the infrastructure that a college should have. I wrote an article quoting some of their claims. The next morning I was stunned to see an article replete with smooth-talking quotes from the management of the same college without a single student voice. I had only written an article about the students' accusations (biased supporter of the oppressed that I am). The above-mentioned censor had done the re-writing and run the story. It was whispered that he could get anybody a seat in any engineering college because he was friendly with most of their managements. No-one made these accusations in public. We did not rock the Establishment. No, sir.
I don't know if any of the work I did as a journalist ever helped 'change the world'. I know I made things worse for the wrong people once. I went to a village on the banks of Cooum upstream – two hours away from Chennai. The magnificent river bed of this seasonal river is a sight to be seen. Comparing it with the sewer that runs through the city is heartbreak. The women in this village were protesting against arrack being sold on the banks of the river. They posed hesitantly for a picture after I told them that it would add power to their claims. The next day I heard from a panchayat official that the women had been threatened with violence by the police for having dared to complain to the press. No, they didn't want to complain about the coercion. Resistance can be beaten out of us very simply in a day. Or it could take a little longer. For me, at The Hindu, it took about three years.
I continue to be perplexed about why a newspaper that will publish Sainath should choose to dance over a tightrope when it came to the Tamil Nadu government. In spite of everything, I still read The Hindu and am happy they have published the WikiLeaks India cables. But I have been inside once. And seen that chess games are in progress all the time. Who the sacrificial pawns and who the knights are this time, and this close to the elections, is difficult to tell. The ways of power are truly mysterious.

Thank you for the article. Similar thoughts are running in my head too. Growing up in a small town, reading the editorials of The Hindu, i thought The Hindu was newspaper equivalent of superman, voice for the voiceless. Last two years in Chennai I have wondered at their double standards. Perhaps N Ram should reply to this article..
After the 2G scam broke was the first time I think Hindu published anything anti-DMK. Until then all the govt was doing was above suspicion, the same with the Srilankan govt. I have come to realize that printing fiery, analytical editorials in one thing and writing on the same issues happening in your backyard is quite another. For Hindu this doesn't go hand in hand.

Most Indian newspapers are garbage. They employ few journalists for the local crime scene, articles on movies and the sports page. The rest, they take from wire services, or employ bloggers as columnists. Their marketing departments dwarf the editorial departments.
The Hindu is a standout among Indian newspapers – it has a lot of journalists, it has a lot of original news, and is the only newspaper which can take on something like 5000 wikileaks cables. It also has the best web page of any indian newspaper, that does not poison your browser with cookies and pop-up ads.
The censor that you speak of is probably the marketing department. Why anger most of your local advertising community (drinking water, fraud universities) who help keep the price of the newspaper at Rs 2, and help you to publish people like Praveen Swami and Siddharth Varadarajan and Hassan Suroor who are writing good articles?
In any newspaper, a balance has to be struck between the fights the editors want to fight, and the fights they´d rather not fight. I am sorry the Hindu decided not to fight your fights, but that does not mean that they are not doing a good job. If you want to be in a newspaper that wants to fight all your fights, you should join the Tehelka.
Admittedly, their reluctance in publishing the article on booth capturing is worrying. Maybe the ruling family in tamil nadu is more powerful than all of us think.
Sumit permalinkMarch 27, 2011 9:41 PM
this is a highly irresponsible thing to say that newspapers choose their fights. I think thats the complete blindening of people by the very easy excuse of corporate compulsions. If things keep going this way, soon enough all media (which is increasingly so) will be a sell out. A newspaper doesnt work on the whims and fancies of the managament, it has a social responsibility too. I hope the erroneous perspectives change.

Do you expect Hindu Mgm to be critical of DMK? Impossible. Today's Hindu is not Kasthuri Iyengar's Hindu. For Ram, China cannot do any wrong. I learn that Hindu Family and MK's family are related to each other through matrimonial alliances (Not sure whether this is true). If true, you can understand why Hindu will not take any anti DMK stand.

Thank You. That is all i can say. You have inspired me, a former ACJian and ex-Hindu ite to come out and say things in open. And I hope The Hindu hears this-the voices of the oppressed in their own organisation and takes action. Because otherwise, they truly have no right to speak for and about the 'oppressed' and 'truth' and 'honesty'.

Hello everyone. Glad to see such a vibrant discussion.
@Sreejith Yes, The Hindu had an extremely cosy relationship with the ruling party until signs of trouble appeared with the 2G scam.
@James I differ with you on your evaluation of Indian newspapers. But I agree that The Hindu is a stand-out. That's why I lasted three years there. No, the internal censors were not marketing, they are editors who were either following the dictates from above or assuming this is what 'people above' would want. In the engineering college example, it was not even that. It was just plain opportunism on the part of an individual editor. I agree that I have been indiscriminate in picking my battles – I blame it on my being perpetually angry. The ruling family is very, very powerful but that does not excuse The Hindu's willingness to cosy up to them till very recently.
@Ravi Yes, there is a matrimonial alliance, I don't remember the details though. But I would put that alliance down to a strategic consolidation of their ties, rather than the reason why they do not like to take stances critical of the government.
@Padma Priya I hope they do:)
@Nag The link seems to be working for me…

There seems to be a fundamental journalistic problem right at the beginning of this article. The author emphatically states that :" I saw weeping government officials and ballots with the stamp over the rising sun scattered everywhere. Other reporters saw similar scenes. " But over the last decade the state has not witnessed any paper ballots. The opposition has been talking about the rigged electronic machine. And now a reporter claims that she has indeed seen ballots with stamp over the rising sun. I am really at a loss to understand this…
March 25, 2011 4:16 PM
Ah, the discussion heats up:)
@Sunalini Thank you. I hope that I will never, ever be an editor-in-chief though.
@MS :) Totally. Also, I knew that the internal censor in question was going to do major rewriting anyway in favour of the management and decided to give him a tough time. I had also quoted the Students' Federation of India to place this protest in the larger context of other protests that were taking place. But our censor checked that one at the gates too.

S.Karthik permalinkMarch 28, 2011 9:20 AM
When emotions run high, facts are like spices;
Use them as you please to cook what you want
An introduction is in order. My name is Karthik Subramanian and I was a former colleague of the author. I worked with her for the Chennai City Reporting Team, and I remember her a lot different from the fire and brimstone personality she now comes across as.
I wont call her my friend. She was a colleague. My recollection of interactions with her were mostly cordial. She was junior to me in the newsroom by a few years. There was a very brief period when she had to report to me. I did sense some insubordination then but any elaboration on that would make this seem like mud-slinging. I wont get into that.
BTW I am certainly not one of the so-called 'internal censors'.
My journalism career started in 1998, and I started where few journalists start today. As a cub reporter with News Today, an evening daily in Chennai, and worked my to get to The Hindu, after stints with ANI, TV news agency, and the New Indian Express. It was a long and arduous journey and I did not take any ACJ crash course to brilliance.
First up, the reason for this response here. It is by no means to steal Ms.Malarvizhi's thunder. Just to set some records straight, because by raising hell here, she has also shown absolute disdain to a few good people, and crassly misrepresented them in the process. She has, also, smartly extrapolated her own personal experiences to connect with what all is deemed wrong with The Hindu. Though there is the oblique reference to The Hindu's editorial stand on Sri Lanka, the author's post is hardly about that. It is more about how the 'internal censors' snuffed out the life of an idealistic young journalist.
I see no excuse for sullying the name of her former colleagues, bosses here because this is a public forum. And a very respected one at that.
She has some owning up to do. And yes, I would not have bothered to respond if it did not involve blatant references to people.
The author is trying hard to stand tall by stamping on their heads.
First up, let us see what are the facts that the author is presenting here.
The tipping point, it seems is the article in The Hindu's article based on Wikileaks' US cables on "Cash for Votes is a way of Life". Ms. Malarvizhi says that the 'internal censors' would not allow such articles. Dramatic? Yes, absolutely. What a lead … "Once upon an election". Brilliant writing.
But is it factual to say that 'internal censors' snub every negative article there can be, even if factual? Not really. How would I know?
Here is The Hindu's coverage of the Chennai Corporation elections in the year 2006.
I remember this well because it was one of my last articles to appear on the front page of The Hindu before I moved out of active reporting.
Please check the photo. It is a description of everything the author has explained in her dramatic first paragraph. It made it to The Hindu as a front page lead. I wrote that.
This was not some one-off story I had filed during that time. In fact, I had a series of articles, some of which were eventually attached by the Madras High Court while calling for a re-election to a record number of wards that year. This btw was a big blow to the ruling DMK.
I don't remember if Ms.Malarvizhi was with The Hindu then, but surely the two 'internal censors' who she dismisses off like they are some minions executing some masterplan, were in the mix as decision makers.
Surely, it is possible to write anti-establishment reports for The Hindu. I know it too well in fact as people who have seen me during my active reporting days would vouch for.
If it was possible for me to get this report published just a year ahead of the by-elections that Ms.Malarvizhi covered, did the entire world change within The Hindu reporting within a short span of time? Not really.
Which brings me to another interesting episode mentioned in this article.
Ms. Malarvizhi is very disturbed about how her article on packaged water was ostensibly delayed by the 'internal censors'.
Now, is she the first to take up this issue within The Hindu? Has The Hindu ever reported about impurities in packaged water before? Has The Hindu reported about the Chennai Corporation being ill-equipped to handle the testing of water?
Yes, Sir. It has. How would I know? I have reported on this actively for quite a few years, and have filed reports about this for The Hindu, some even when Ms.Malarvizhi was probably a school student.
In fact, packaged water was one of the subjects I actively reported on during my initial years – 1998 to 2004. Some it was with The Hindu.
I really don't get what the fuss is all about. That her story got delayed? Well, that happens. Sorry. If you are the junior-most in the department, be prepared to grit it out. Don't expect glory otherwise. Even if you bear the ACJ emblem.
Did she really think she was writing something never before written? Something that warranted immediate attention?
Beats me.
Did the 'internal censors' not understand the gravity of the terrorising report she filed – people would die drinking packaged water, after all, even by her claims. But then these 'internal censors' are people with a lots of experience – and as I can prove several times over, they have cleared the very kind of reports Ms.Malarvizhi claims have been killed in the desk. Because I have filed those exact kinds of reports for The Hindu.
Which brings me to another "fact" in her post, and within it belittling a person I respect for being a good person. Let us forget good journalism or professional behaviour for a while now. This man, she has not named him – more out of cowardice because she has seriously mocked at him – is one of the few people most people in Chennai's journalism circles would concur to be a "good person".
Now I don't know the exact details of what happened and why her college protest report was "modified," and if it was indeed done so with malicious intent as the author alleges. But then again, this person is no longer even a journalist, and reserves at least the right to know that his reputation is being sullied here.
In fact, I suspect this is exactly how Ms. Malarvizhi's report would have been – a ranting account of just one person or one side, without properly balancing it with views from the person she is accusing. This sort of writing is fit only for blogs not newspapers. Surely not The Hindu. I will explain that later.
Like every one else in The Hindu, I know who she is talking about. It is quite disgraceful that she would do it to her former boss, three years on, in a public forum.
Which takes me to a pertinent question. Was this man, the 'internal censor,' hell bent on censoring every dissent-filled article that came his way? Was he just doing his duty in balancing that article? I can't answer that for sure because I was not involved.
But one thing I do know. He supported me when it came to writing articles critical of the DMK government. Whoa! Hard to believe?
Take a look at these links
This was over the DMK government's plan to acquire dry and waste land from villagers on the Kelambakkam-Vandalur Road in Chennai's outskirts.
And what was the government response the very next day at the Tamil Nadu Assembly?
How is that for The Hindu impact?
Yes, Malar, We did rock the Establishment. Did you see? I took the side of the underdogs.
It is possible for a lowly brown-skinned reporter to do that.
I know I am posting most of my links from mid to late 2006. But I am doing this for two reasons. One, because they coincide with my last few days of active reporting. Two, also because this was around the same time Ms.Malarvizhi joined The Hindu.
Is it very possible that Ms.Malarvizhi was just a bad journalist who could not get her reports through because of her inability to present a balance? Or was she a journalist, who was still learning the ropes … one who must have steeled it out instead of thinking the world she hoped for did not exist? Of course, the ultimate reason for her quitting has nothing to do with her idealism.
Maybe she believes that good language is enough to put out a really imbalanced article.
I am not here to make a case for The Hindu or its editorial policies. That is a subject open to discussion and criticism. There are things I don't agree with when it comes to The Hindu's editorial stands. Of course, that is natural.
But what rankles me is the manner in which she has dismissed some good people, presenting just her side of the facts.
One thing for certain. It is possible to write anti-establishment reports for The Hindu. I have done it for quite a few years, under different regimes, different bosses, different 'internal censors'.
Unlike the author, I have the experience of having worked in different organisations. Yes, it is a lot more easier to file anti-establishment reports in a few other newspapers in the country. With The Hindu, it is not impossible just very tough. Because The Hindu does not publish articles based on just claims. During my initial years with The Hindu, I found this tough. But I understood later that it is just a different beast altogether. And things got easier when I accepted the fact that it just requires a bit more effort.
I stand to risk making one generalisation now. But like all generalisations, there are surely exceptions to this too. I see that a lot of young journalism pass-outs, high on octane and hunger to do something fantastic, unwilling to steel out the first few years as a cub reporter. The first few years are always the most testing. But if you bother to stick it out when the going gets tough, the tough in you will get going later on. Three years is hardly any time.
I have reported to a few bosses in the last 13 years, some of those years have been tough. I have had my own team in the due course of my journey, and now I am back reporting to a senior journalist. In all these years, I have had run-ins with my bosses, authorities and many others. Not always have I come out looking the best or even right. I have taken things on my chin and moved on.
But like they say in cricket, what happens in the dressing room stays there.
If you are out of The Hindu for so long, question what you read. Rip it apart if you can based on facts. But if you are going to take on people – which is pretty sad after such a long time because it looks like you are nurturing hatred and anger – at least do it with dignity.
Dear Kafila.org,
Your reputation as a media watchdog is sound with journalists, senior, junior and intermediates like me alike.
While this post makes for good reading, did not occur to you even one bit that it is a bit abrasive, given the very personal nature of this rant?
Did it not occur to you that the author is not really delivering a commentary, substantiated with facts, about media neutrality or the lack of it with The Hindu – which btw would make a very compulsive reading. She is making some damning claims about what happened nearly three years back.
So are all disgruntled press employees welcome to present just their views here on Kafila? Will all of it pass as good media critique? Is radical always rational?
sohail hashmi permalinkMarch 28, 2011 10:08 AM
Karthik, thank you for your serious and thoughtful response. Kafila is an open forum and we are happy to host critical commentary on the media among other things, especially from journalists writing from their experience. There are almost always several accounts of the same experience, and we welcome an open debate. But we cannot in advance decide that particular critical voices are merely "disgruntled" and should not be given space at all – that would make us very much like the big media.
Thank you again for coming in on this post, and we hope you continue to read kafila.

I find it strange that AS Panneerselvam, veteran journalist and ostensibly a proud journalist, chooses to pick nits with Malarvizhi and questions the fundamentals of her journalism. And then when he is corrected, he keeps quiet. What is also odd is ASP chooses to remain silent on the practices within The Hindu: he seems to have no comment to make on it. What Malarvizhi has perhaps left unsaid in this post is that she was perhaps one of the few nonbrahmins (clear from her name) in The Hindu; and unlike Mr Karthik (presumably brahmin) may have had lesser success for her zealous stories. I wish Malarvizhi also wrote a bit about the 90 percent brahmin staff of The Hindu–packed at the top with members of the core family and distant relatives all over.

@S. Karthik Hey there, Kat-man! Long time, no hear. I still remember you looking at my water article and saying, "Flower-eye, this is the best piece of journalism you have produced but I doubt if it will be carried as-is." *wipes away a fond tear*
I was not mud-slinging – I was pointing to the ways in which certain kinds of censorship function. All the articles I mentioned were published – including the fracas during the elections – delayed, mutilated or otherwise. No, I was not a good journalist – we are totally in agreement here.
You remember 'an element of insubordination' – let me jog your memory – was it the time you looked at me and said, "Flower-eye! You can't take your off tomorrow! Namita is coming and we have to show her the assets of the office!" !?! (for the Northies – Namita is, like me, spectacularly well-endowed and, unlike me, is a Tamil film starlet) I turned on my heel and walked out. I blame the womens-libbers – making women insubordinate at sexist remarks since 1969. Or whenever.
@Sohail What a masterfully dignified comment. I should learn from you.
@Raja M I have already written about the caste composition of The Hindu on Facebook. But it might be a bit too strongly worded for Kafila. Ok, I'm writing like Sohail here. That piece has more than a few swear-words. D*mn my filthy mouth:)

Hi Malar: I quite expected you to come up with something new thought I would have never guessed you would stoop even lower. I am no longer going to dignify your emotional rabble-rousing with well-thought out responses.
For you to pull that out of your hat, in a manner to taint my character and thereby nullify my comment without addressing the issues I have raised, is still in tone with the brain explosion you are having. This is actually classic Right Wing tactics, I am afraid. If you cant reply to the substance of the comment, attack the character of the person making it. Some dignity you have shown, Comrade. Have a good life.
BTW do you wear heels? Or was it just a good turn of phrase? Cause I honestly don't remember anything half as dramatic as you have mentioned.
Regarding the allegation of me being sexist, well, let those closest to me be the judge of that.
Your insubordination – whether it was over my Namitha remark or not I don't even remember – is very clear even otherwise. You are unable to take it that your stories are subject to revisions/ edits by the heads of the departments.
@To all else: Am I a Tam Bram? ROTFL. Guys, get a life.
@Sohail: I agree with you that you cannot, in advance, decide whether contributions are from disgruntled employees or not.
But what about the author's insinuation in her reply here that I made a sexist joke? What does it even have to do with the post you published for the author or my reply? Is that not to belittle whatever other arguments I have constructed?
And I guilty of being a sexist, Tam Bram right winger even before trial? How ridiculous is that? Are we even discussing journalism here? Is that not the near impossible charge to dignify with with a response? So what are you moderating, Kafila, if at all you are moderating comments?
I rest my case. Good luck to you, Kafila. I hope some young journalists seem light here and this forum throws up opportunities for sensible discussions in the future. Though I doubt if I would participate in them.
March 28, 2011 4:58 PM

All the time. How else do you think we get right-click context menu

Oh, you meant "do you make much use of mouse button 2?" X calls this
button "button 2"; your window manager (and you) should call it button 2
for consistency's sake since every other window manager/X app does that.

Bad idea in general; there are some applications out there (notably

things don't quite work right unless the application can receive button
2 events.

That's probably OK, just make sure you make it so that the user can pass
button 2 events to an app in an easy way if necessary.

Hell no. If it stopped button 2 from working, I'd still be reluctant to
use it, since I've learned to use the select-text-to-copy/button-2-to-
paste behavior to my advantage. (And I like KDE's window manager.) But

The girl, if girl she was, sat with her knees pulled up and her head resting across her arms. Behind her an old record player scratched away. The music seemed to sooth the girl, who was starting absently across the room at a homemade doll. In the eyes of anyone else the doll would be grotesque and to some even frightening. Its head was an old baseball, the body bits of rope and random stuffing. One of the arms ended with a corkscrew, the other was just a knotted bit of rope. Tacks and nails studded the baseball, the heads of which had been dabbed with red paint. Patiently wound around each nail was a single piece of continuous wire, making the head look like an unraveling ball of string. The girl stared at it with adoration mixed with longing.
The girl herself was thin, with long brown hair tied into a high ponytail with a white ribbon. Her dress, which at one time might have been of dark blue but was now faded and dirty,

The Internet and the Web are fantastic creations that have opened up a new world for everybody in connected parts of the world. But the freedom these worldwide networks brings us also means temptation is placed in our way. Whether it's illicit streams of copyrighted material or content that our governments would rather we not be privy to, the Internet and the Web have expanded our options considerably.
One of the avenues opened up in this way is pornography. While sexually-explicit material has been around for centuries, it's now available in huge quantities and accessible by all and sundry, assuming no controls or restrictions are placed in the way. This – as well as Christian's recent feature article about addiction to online pornography – prompted last week's We Ask You.
What Are Your Honest Views Of Internet Porn?
We asked you, What Are Your Honest Views Of Internet Porn? I made sure to insert the word "honest" in the title to ensure people gave their unedited opinions on this tricky subject that so often gets swept under the carpet. The majority of people took note, and not only did we have a very good response to the question, the range of views expressed was wide and varied.
This is clearly a subject that people feel strongly about, evidenced by most people airing extreme views rather than sitting on the fence. On the one hand we had people condemning the very idea of pornography and wishing it wasn't even a topic for discussion, while on the other we had people admitting to viewing porn regularly and seeing nothing wrong with doing so.
It's extremely hard to draw any conclusions from the debate, as it's an open and frank discussion that generally fails to find any common ground. Many people like the idea of the .xxx domain – which already exists and is used by some online porn producers – but even then there was disagreement over how it should be used. Some people would like to see all porn sites consigned to that domain, while others feel this would be the start of a slippery slope towards censorship.
Several people discussed how the question of online pornography should be raised when parenting children, with most agreeing that open and honest discussion is the way to go. Barring access is obviously a good idea for those who feel the need to do so, but ignoring the subject completely may lead to problems further down the line.
Comment Of The Week
Laga Mahesa, slywlf, Austin Halsell, and Juan Carlos Espinosa Agudelo all made vital contributions to the debate. But Comment of the week goes to Cary, who won with this comment:
I believe there was a working party put together by "the great and the good" in UK some decades ago to clarify the legal definition of "obscene". It was a group of bishops, judges etc.
They divided porn into 3 categories: erotic, explicit, obscene.
How I understand that is:
Erotic may be sexually stimulating and may have a postive/beneficial effect in some situations, does not necessarily involve nudity.
Explicit is comparatively cold could be kind of sex manual stuff "here are the bits" and "how to" – frankly not the kind of stuff you want to see, part of the reason we wear at least a swimming costume in public.
Obscene is degrading acts. Even if the participants are being portrayed as "willing" then a (subective) opinion is that there is a high probability that poverty, coercion or drugs play a part in their apparent compliance. It may involve subjects unable to give knowing consent – e.g. the young, animals, those with low mental capacity. Anything involving physical damage (mental damage too but that's hard to assess from a photo.)
Of course the boundaries are not clear, it's a spectrum – I guess that ranges from those societies where it seems the men are judged to be unable to control themselves to the extent that a square inch of visible female skin must be covered lest it set off their animal urges to the most extreme porn which I'm not inclined (or qualified) to describe.
As regards censorship, yes I use OpenDNS to protect my family at least from "accidental" internet porn, those explicit pop-ups some websites used to deliver. I'm sure if teenage son wants to he can find his way around that obstacle but the key point is that he knows it's "wrong". Yes censorship is a slippery slope, where do you stop? For example OpenDNS gives a whole range of choices so I can choose to block lingerie and swimsuit sites. In my opinion that's going too far. In an ideal world everyone would understand what is morally acceptable and would "self censor". There always has been censorship and always will be. I don't see any of the "no censorship" brigade arguing for newsagents to bring their top shelf magazines down to the bottom next to the kids comics. I don't see them standing up for the rights of paedophiles. There is a line that most people won't cross. The arguement is not whether or not to censor, it's about where to draw the line. What do we do about those without a moral compass? They represent a risk to society. It's all very well to dismiss "morals" by sniggering at the dirty priest stories as it's they whose role ostensibly includes promotion of moral values. That is to introduce a misunderstanding of the word as something to do with religion. Most if not all traditional religions do include a set of moral guidelines not vastly different from the Christian ten commandments which is an indicator that morality is not "to do with religion" it's to do with humanity. It's the UN declaration on human rights. Read it in the context of this question about porn.
My preferred approach would be to require ISPs to provide OpenDNS style filtering blocking some porn as standard but for those who request it (i.e. not openly promoted as an option and subject to some validation so my teenage son can't impersonate me to request a change in filtering). Those who want porn will find it regardless but they will get the message that they are doing something that much of society regards as unacceptable, that it is shameful.
Is porn damaging? I'm not an expert. To find an answer would need the testimony of psychiatrists and criminologists who had completed peer-reviewed scientific research on both viewers of and participants in a range of pornography. Personally I find it hard to believe that, at the more extreme end in particular, participants are there because of "their right to freedom of expression and the love of their art". I think that by portraying some acts there is a risk of "normalising" them. There's pressure on the parties in normal girlfriend/boyfriend relationships to get involved in activities they find distasteful because they now think that it's "normal" and one party has expectations the other is not comfortable with. One might argue "just say no" but bring youth, inexperience, drugs or alcohol into the picture and freedom of choice is compromised. And what about the effects on those disenfranchised from normal sexual encounters (such as sociopaths) when they see the possible and want to participate?
This may seem contradictory but that's why I'm in favour of legalised properly controlled prostitution. Among other things it provides a means for those creepy guys that stand no chance otherwise and might be induced to find an unwilling partner. And the girls – well can I refer you to "Belle du Jour" as an example. I accept that there's a big difference between high-class prostitutes operating hygenically and in safe locations for very substantial earnings and the girl on the street charging the visiting truck driver a few quid for a quickie in his cab. But I think I'm drifting too far from the question of porn so let's leave that debate for a different time.
This comment raises more questions than answers, but it made me think, and that's an important contribution, especially in the midst of a debate such as this one. It also concludes that we don't really know the full effects pornography is having on society. There is evidence it's harming some, but what about the majority?

Phendimetrazine Tartrate User Reviews
Now you can gain knowledge and insight about a drug treatment with Patient Discussions.
Here is a collection of user reviews for the medication Phendimetrazine Tartrate sorted by most helpful.
Under my doctor's supervision, I lost 15 pounds in my first month on Phendimetrazine. I love it! It gives me energy without the gitters and I feel great!
I have been on this medication for about one month. I lost 8lbs so far. I was prescribed 105 mg divided into 3 pills per day. For the most part I take 2 pills per day because I end up forgetting at some point during the day. I don't get jitters or constipation like I did with phentermine (that was initially prescribed to me). I like that I still eat, I just get full after much less. With phentermine I was just not eating since I was never hungry. I do cardio exercise 2/per week and eat a low fat diet. I also try and stay away from bread. I think I would have lost more weight but I have been cheating the last 2 weeks - mostly because I forget to take the 3rd pill.

On Monday May 19, 2008 I started taking Phendimetrazine 35mg. I was nervous and skeptical. I weighed in at 212 lbs. Today Sunday May 25, 2008 I have lost almost 12 lbs. I take a pill an hour before each meal and so far it's never made me jittery which I was afraid of it doing. I'm following my doctor's plan â" no more than 4grams of Carbs and no more than 2 grams of saturated fats and not to eat anything with âoseâ in the ingredients. You eat 100 grams of protein a day and I now can have vegetables with my protein. My doctor also gave me a list of foods that are safe such as cucumbers, lettuce, and sugar free jello to eat which I can eat anytime I want. Included was a list of fast foods that I can eat from different fast food restaurants. I'm really excited to see what my results will be in a month. I didn't think this was going to work at firstâ¦but now I'm a believer. Of course I'll have to write a review when it's time for me to get off the Phendimetrazine. I also got a B12 shot. I felt a little warm/ flushed when I received the shot. I woke up the next morning at 5am and felt great and ready to begin my weight loss program. If you're considering this method keep a positive outlook and know you can do it!!!
Related Reading: B12
I have tried several programs to lose weight. I lose but put it back on. I don't even have the engery to excerise. I have been on this medication since 2/4/08 today is 2/13/08 and I've lost 12 lbs. It has at least given me hope. Even the small amount of 12 lbs has made a difference. I am sticking with it as long as I can.
I have tried this drug 3 times and each time it has been effective in losing the weight. I only had 20 lbs. to lose, and lost 8 - 10 lbs. each time. If I would have continued it, I would have lost all 20 lbs. I quit using the drug because I would get short term memory loss. I asked my doctor if the memory loss was one of the side effects of the drug, and he said it was not. He said he never had anyone complain of memory loss from this drug! But each time I have taken it, I do get memory loss or a little "spacey." Once I go off the drug, I don't have the memory loss. It's not major memory loss, just little things, like forgetting where the car keys are; but then I find them. I hope this info was helpful. The drug does work with weight loss, though.
I started 3 months ago needing to lose 50 lbs. My blood pressure was 150/100 with medication. Now, 3 months later, using this medication and restricting my diet to high protein, low carbs â" low calories â" I am within 5 lbs of my target. It has been easy actually. And my blood pressure â" using only half the medication previously used â" is 120/80 range. I have had a couple of side-effects...One is constipation. You need to drink plenty of water. The other is erectile dysfunction. Never really dealt with that before â" but I am assuming it is the effects of the pills (at least I hope it is). I guess I will find out in a couple of weeks when I go into maintenance mode..Other than that â" my experience has been overall very positive...

I took this medicine in 2001 and lost about 30 lbs in about four months. I gained a little back (I was to small) and I looked great. In 05 I had gall bladder surgery and I kept gaining weight. I have taken the pills off and on since the first weight loss and have not stuck to them consistently to see the same results. Today 6/12/08 I am going back on for real, and I know its all about diet and exercise. The pill just helps you keep with a 1000-1200 calorie a day diet + energy. The pill does keep u up if u take it late, and I have experienced heart flutters in the past, but it seemed to only be when I was really hungre...(dont know what that was about.) This pill works and I never write reviews. Just eat better and exercise at least 30 min. First time I lost I didnt exercise that much, but the longer your on the meds u have to work harder. The pills don't work as easy as the first time. Hope was helpfull

Looks like old Knoxy is about to slap Dinny after the bill poke in P2. He's so flustered, he spells "inadmissible" wrong in P3.
wait . . . wasn't Dinny a deal with Darby?
Us lawyers don't need no rhetoric… or spelling.
Get a million dollars for her grandfather who slipped on the ice, why else would Darby be involved so much in this story line.
Looks like a little flirting going on there in P2.
I suppose ALL the boring characters like Miles Paris, Hamani Gaines and Amanda the catcher NEVER have anything exciting happen. I look forward to see HOW MUCH Jaxon has grown since last year.
I bet when Knox trys to put the Chaldean out of business the ladies will just be flocking over him. Knox must think that beating down immigrants trying to make a living is all the rage on the Milford campus this year.
Why is he waiving one of those giant foam hands in P3??
Must really suck being a sarcast, doesn't it, desertdwlr? Let's dissect your drivel:
'uh-oh the dreaded EHS (Exploding Hat Syndrome) rears it's ugly head in P2—-then it spreads to his eye in P3"
Well, I guess your narrow-mindedness prevented you from seeing Dinny poke his finger at the cap's brim!
"Why is he waiving one of those giant foam hands in P3??"
Hey, stupid, it's a CLOSE-UP. He's putting his hand close to his mouth because he's SHOUTING.
'Does Dinny have an artificial left arm with a small glove slipped over it ? inquiring minds want to know"
And it's what nitpicky minds want to ask. I don't see anything "artificial" about his arm. Maybe the sleeve is loose fitting? Ever think of THAT, Mr. Art Critic?
Okay, that's it. I'm flagging you.
Knox,you idiot! Every junior lawyer knows you do not ask a question that you don't already know the answer. When is this obnoxious kid going to get a swirly?
He'll have to attract her with wealth. Perhaps his father will use the ice-slip settlement to back his son's life long dream to open a berry farm tourist attraction just south of Milford. Of course, this story could end if Darby's family decides to move to Lexington. That would make their daughter a legitimate Kentucky Darby.

Safety Group: Car Booster Seats Are Getting Better
Booster seats are better than they used to be. That's what the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says after testing 72 of the safety seats designed to help keep children restrained safely in a crash. In a report today the safety research group, which is funded by the insurance industry, gave 21 boosters a top rating of "best bet." Seven more seats performed well enough to receive its "good bet" rating, meaning the group recommends them along with the best-bet seats. There were eight seats that performed so poorly they landed on the "not-recommended" list.
For the first time, top-rated boosters outnumber ones the group doesn't recommend. Last year only 9 seats out of 60 the Institute tested got the top rating. The change suggests safety-seat makers are designing seats with greater precision. For parents, the latest test results mean finding a top-rated booster seat will be easier and include a wider range of choices. Still, half of the seats tested aren't recommended because they performed well in some vehicles but poory in others.
Boosters are those seats typically used by children who are four to eight years old. Unlike safety seats for infants and toddlers, boosters aren't tightly attached to the vehicle and do not restrain children on their own. Instead, they are designed to raise the child so lap and shoulder belts, which are designed for adults, fit their smaller bodies properly.
Unlike the Insurance Institute's better-known crash tests of cars, the tests it performs on child booster seats are less dramatic and don't involve collisions. Ratings are based on how well the seats position a child relative to the vehicle's seat belts. A good booster routes the lap belt across a child's upper thighs and positions the shoulder belt at mid-shoulder, the group says. The Insurance Institute uses a dummy the size of an average six-yer-old for the tests. An Insurance Institute video shows how the tests are conducted and how the belts should fit. More information on booster seats is at www.highwaysafety.org
Here's a list of the seats the Insurance Institute tested and how they fared.

The root cause analysis of this incident is now available. In it we explain how this event occurred and what changes Sophos has already made - or will make in the near future - to ensure this kind of incident does not happen again.
If you were affected by this issue and your anti-virus cleanup options were set to "Deny access and move to …" or "Delete" files, the false positive may have prevented non-Sophos applications, such as Adobe and JavaTM, from updating or running. If not fixed, these applications could create a security risk (for example: a recent vulnerability in Adobe is shown here APSB12-22 - Security updates available for Adobe Flash Player).
If you had non-Sophos applications damaged during the false positive, then beginning in October 2012, you may receive a suspicious behavior alert via your console. Read article 118323 to get tools and information to help fix the issue.
Note: These issues only affect Windows computers.
You may have seen many false alerts on your computer or network. These false alerts also prevented the updating of Sophos products and some other products.
For many customers, the problem was temporary.
Provided you are using Endpoint Security and Control version 10 with the default settings, the problem should have resolved itself within three hours. You should now be fully protected and receiving updates as usual.
If you had these settings applied to your computers, you should be fine already:
You should just check that updating is working as usual. You also need to clear the false alerts from your management console and endpoint computers.

The Pros:Fit comfortably, nice interior texture. Light weight, won't weigh down your hands. Can take a fair amount of abuse and still work well.
The Cons:Inhibit finger freedom when grappling training. Wrist straps make putting them on/ taking them off a bit tedious.
UFC's Vinyl MMA Training Gloves are intended for new or aspiring mixed martial artists, as they offer a low price point and all-around general training utility. They also have features, like cut-away palm and cut finger joints, that make it easier to get used to the feel of MMA gloves.
Loading latest prices from ProductWiki...
They have extra knuckle and backhand padding and a large thumb hole for dexterity. There is also an adjustable velcro wrist strap for support. One of the main reasons for the low price point is that these gloves are made of vinyl, as opposed to the polyurethane or leather of which other competitive or training gloves are made. These gloves are available in black with either a red or white emblazoned logo.
fit comfortably, nice interior texture
light weight, won't weigh down your hands

wrist straps make putting them on/ taking them off a bit tedious

This practically rewritten edition, presenting the principles and scientific foundation of the chemistry of foods and nutrition, deserves an enthusiastic welcome. The subject is concisely discussed in a simple manner that conveys a good general understanding of this field. Food is considered chiefly in its relation to nutrition; detailed description of individual foods is omitted to advantage. The food requirements of man and considerations essential to development of good judgment on the nutritive value of foods and their choice and use for the maintenance and advancement of health are prominent features of the plan of presentation. The text is excellently balanced in its treatment of the four main factors of nutrition—energy, protein, mineral elements and vitamins. New material and data and several new chapters are incorporated. Valuable reference lists for supplementary reading accompany the chapters. Tables on the edible organic nutrients, ash constituents and vitamin content of individual foods are

SCO Group Suffers Another Defeat
The years long legal battle by the SCO Group over UNIX copyrights, which indirectly affect Linux, has resulted in another verdict in Utah court. The jury has ruled in favor of Novell.
In a short announcement, Novell is pleased with the court ruling and considers it "good news for Novell, for Linux, and for the open source community."
Novell was already granted the UNIX copyrights in court in 2008 and SCO Group went on the defensive. As usual, the Groklaw website specializing in open source rights wrote up a summary of the recent outcome
SCO Group went into bankruptcy last year after its protracted litigation against also IBM, among others. The claim against Big Blue in 2003 marked the beginning of the wave of lawsuits.
Whether the verdict truly puts to rest the protracted claims by SCO of being the rightly owner of UNIX and other software is still questionable. The Salt Lake Tribune reports that SCO is still seeking claims against IBM, despite the Novell ruling.

Roger wins Olympic gold medal!
Roger made up for the disappointment of missing out in the singles by winning his first Olympic gold medal as he teamed up with Stanislas Wawrinka to claim the doubles title on Saturday. The Swiss pair beat Simon Aspelin and Thomas Johansson of Sweden 6-3, 6-4, 6-7, 6-3.
Against Johansson and Aspelin, Roger's thumping groundstrokes and Stan's impressive backhand gave the Swiss the early advantage. After winning the first set, they soon broke to lead 3-1 in the second before the Swedes responded. It took a tie-break, which Johansson and Aspelin won, to decide the third set. A brilliant reaction volley from Roger helped break Aspelin again at the start of the fourth set, our star eventually serving out the match.
"It is like a fantastic dream comes true, I feel really happy to win the gold medal. It is great, I enjoy that," said Roger in the mixed zone. "I have tried for several times to get a medal, and I came really close to the medal in Sydney where I finished fourth. Since then I can't stop thinking that If I am the best player in the world, I should do the same in the Olympics, and then finally I made it, it is really special also because it is for Switzerland, you know, our country can not get so many medals at one Olympics, maybe one or two, but this time I got a gold medal, it is for my country, I really feel different, as it is for my country, it is different from the Grand Sam where I did it for just myself."
At the medals ceremony, when they played the Swiss national anthem and Roger and Stan stood on the highest platform, both were clearly on the edge of tears.
just want to congratulate our man (Roger).. i guess this would sum up all the best moment we were all waiting from you. make it good roger. we are really hoping for you to get the US open. please get your spot.

We need some colour in our lives and cheeks. Instead we added music.
What a busy old week....and long. Raffy isn't quite himself, another blasted tooth causing him and us sleepless nights. The gallery has been REALLY busy, some schools finished so they are all starting to arrive for holidays. We weren't quite prepared so have been cleared out of so many things so amidst the madness I had to do a mad stock collection this morning of framed prints of mine. Doctors this afternoon, seven deliveries in the gallery and more unpacking of deliveries. Gorgeous new products, I'm excited to show you next week.
I've been listening to wonderful Beth Orton. She reminds me of my favourite job (bar this one) working in a coffee bar in the Northern quarter in Manchester. That was a good Summer. It's been a long time but she is releasing a new album in time for us to to see her in December.
And another I have been humming all day..... the beautiful Feist.
