Danica Patrick owes much to Bobby Rahal
SEBRING, Fla. -- Bobby Rahal won the 1986 Indianapolis 500, three CART championships and 25 races in one of the last sentimentally remembered periods in open-wheel racing.
He is a successful team owner -- a long-time partner with late-night television icon David Letterman -- in both open-wheel and sports car racing and is the father of a driver, Graham Rahal, widely considered a crucial facet of any renaissance IndyCar will produce in the United States.
But sitting outside his motor coach in the brown and silty innards of Sebring International Raceway during IndyCar preseason testing, Rahal considered his most widely recognized contribution to the national sporting culture: discovering, or at least financing, the early development of Danica Patrick and providing the IndyCar opportunity she drove to stardom.
"Yeah, I'm to blame," he said, laughing.
Patrick was an underemployed 19-year-old road racer when she met Rahal at Road America race course in Wisconsin in 2001. They became friends and kept in contact when each returned to Europe -- he to oversee the Jaguar Formula One program, she to continue finding her way through the European ladder system for the fourth year. Patrick, quoted in Rahal media materials, said of the time: "We were two Americans a long way from home who would get together and complain about British food and the weather. Bobby was a great friend and a source of support when I needed it most."
Patrick signed a multiyear deal with Rahal in 2002, running a limited schedule in the developmental Barber-Dodge Pro Series. Rahal used his influence with Ford to provide Patrick her first stock car opportunity in a June 2002 test session with the ppc Racing Nationwide Series team at Greensville-Pickens (S.C.) Speedway. The 285-lap test was lauded as a success by Ford executives and the team, but Patrick was routed back toward open-wheel racing in 2003, undertaking the first of two seasons in the Toyota Atlantic series, a feeder system for the now-defunct Champ Car series.
Patrick calls that opportunity one of the most pressurized and crucial junctures of her career.
"When I raced Atlantics, it was my first real opportunity in the States to run, run up front with people and show them what I could do," she said. "I wanted to do a good enough job that Bobby would want to run me in IndyCar one day."
She did. Patrick learned she had earned that opportunity in the 2005 Indianapolis 500 -- and subsequently the full season -- during a Carb Day news conference in 2004. That race, in which she set gender marks in starting and finishing fourth and leading 19 laps, helped launch her cultural phenomenon.
The blur of time and Patrick's final five full-time IndyCar seasons at Andretti Autosport tend to obscure Rahal's part in the process, but he seems content with it. He said he feels "very good about what happened," although Patrick's decision to leave in 2007 preceded a marked decline in the fortunes of his IndyCar team. Rahal went from a three-car program in 2005 to one by 2008 and contested only the Indianapolis 500 the last three seasons. Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing returns to the series full-time this year with driver Takuma Sato. Patrick, meanwhile, won her only career IndyCar race in 2008 at Motegi, Japan, and continued her ascent as the sport's most marketable driver before leaving for a full-time NASCAR career this season.
"Would we have stayed in IndyCar longer if we'd had her? Don't know. It's hard to say. Maybe, maybe not," Rahal said. " This is my passion, and the passion is rewarded on the racetrack by winning and bringing good people in and seeing them exercise their passions. I did what I said I would do. I think I gave her a great opportunity, and the rest is history, as they say."
When Patrick left in 2007, she said she "took this opportunity because I needed a team that was doing everything it could to win. I needed a team that knew how to win, that was going to get it done."
Rahal said he was "disappointed" when Patrick left his team and believed he offered roughly the same financial package as Andretti, "but they must have offered her something else." Andretti's teams had won 20 of 34 races and driver titles in 2004 and 2005 before struggling in 2006. Buddy Rice's three wins -- including the Indianapolis 500 -- in 2004 comprised Rahal's entire IndyCar total at the time, but the owner insists Patrick was surrounded by the resources she needed to win.
"We were giving her very competitive cars," Rahal said. "We had great cars. She had great teammates with Buddy Rice and Vitor [Meira]. As I've said to many people, Danica really has never had to deal with inferior equipment. She had good equipment with us in IndyCar, then to Andretti; now she's with Earnhardt and Stewart [in NASCAR Nationwide and Sprint Cup, respectively]. It doesn't get much better than that. So she's had all the advantages, and it will just be interesting to see how it all plays out."
As the initial underwriter of Patrick's career, and one whose business relationship with her has come and gone, Rahal reserves the right to critique candidly. In 2009, when she decided to explore a part-time NASCAR career, he said, "she may not have the ultimate pace, but generally she can stay out of trouble and finish in the top six or seven," and "I have no question she'll be able to drive a stock car around."
Rahal doesn't regret his financial outlay in aiding Patrick's career, but said he "probably should have been a lot more mercenary" in their business dealings.
"But that's not why I did it. I did it to help her, thinking that maybe she could be successful," he said. "I don't think anybody quite understood because if you look at her from a racing record, she's not had much success. But she's gone beyond that and she's a personality. You can almost say it doesn't matter, but I think it will, eventually.
"I don't have any regrets how I approached it with her. I did it to help her. I didn't do it to help me. I guess I can say, like [some say], if it hadn't been for me, who knows where she would be today."

Angry and Gay
For those who like their slapstick theater laced with leftist acidity, the San Francisco Mime Troupe's annual performance in San Lorenzo Park (Oct. 1-2 at 3pm) usually hits the spot. They set up their compact, functional stage, deliver an afternoon of hilarity at the expense of Republicans, plead for donations and leave.
Gay rights activists had reason to be both angry and pleased last Thursday after GOV. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER vetoed AB 849, the RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND CIVIL MARRIAGE PROTECTION ACT, but signed into law four other bills that protect and expand the scope of civil unions.
DIVERSITY CENTER executive director BOB CORREA and GLBT ALLIANCE co-chair MERRIE SCHALLER both agree the most important piece of legislation actually signed was AB 1400, the CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 2005, which author and DISTRICT 27 Assemblymember JOHN LAIRD says is intended to "clarify and reinforce that all businesses that provide services, goods or accommodations to the public cannot discriminate based on sexual orientation, gender identity or marital status."
"I'm really proud of John Laird," says Schaller, "and it's been so important to our community to have him--an openly gay legislator--there in the Assembly. His bill is a particularly big one, and if there wasn't the brouhaha around the marriage bill, we'd notice it more."
Also signed were AB 1586, which prohibits insurance companies from discriminating on the basis of gender identity; SB 565, which keeps homes owned by registered domestic partners from being reassessed when one partner inherits the home on the death of the other; and SB 973, which allows domestic partners of public employees, insured by PERS. who retired before 2005 to receive death benefits on the death of the retiree.
But ultimately the bill that drew the most publicity--and gay rights activists and supporters out to the Clock Tower last Friday afternoon--was of course AB 849, which defined marriage as a civil contract between two persons. Schwarzenegger says he vetoed the bill because it conflicts with PROPOSITION 22, passed by voters in 2000, which prohibits same-sex marriage.
In a press release issued after his veto, Schwarzenegger said that "the ultimate issue regarding the constitutionality of section 308.5 and its prohibition against same-sex marriage is currently before the Court of Appeal in San Francisco and will likely be decided by the Supreme Court. This bill simply adds confusion to a constitutional issue. If the ban of same-sex marriage is unconstitutional, this bill is not necessary. If the ban is constitutional, this bill is ineffective."
GLBT Alliance co-chair THOMAS LEAVITT, who coordinated last week's protest, wasn't convinced.
"The governor vetoed fundamental inequality," says Leavitt. "It's great he signed all the other bills, but the biggest one of all was the marriage equality bill. Not signing that is just a total cave-in to the religious right, and it strips any pretense off of him being a moderate."
Says Correa, "He bowed to the right-wing conservatives that can fund his re-election instead of doing the right thing."
"On the other hand he did sign these significant bills," adds Correa, referring to AB 1400, AB 1586, SB 565 and SB 973. "It at least breaks down some inequality that will still exist until the equal marriage legislation really comes to fruition."
In the meantime, Correa, Leavitt and Schaller are bracing themselves for an onslaught of conservative ballot initiatives designed to block same-sex marriage and undermine civil unions.
"It looks like there will be ballot measures in June and November next year," says Schaller, adding resignedly, "I'm tired just thinking about it."
Diversity's New Digs
Meanwhile, Correa is pleased to announce new digs for the Diversity Center, over at 1117 Soquel Ave., across from the CAYUGA VAULT and next door to LOVEDOG TATTOO.
"The center was sort of tucked in the corner," says Correa of the former downtown location, adding ironically, "Having the words, 'gay,' 'lesbian,' 'bisexual' and 'transgender' brings us out of the closet."
So to speak--but the move was a long time coming.
"We've been looking for over two years off and on," says Correa. "We just found this great space. It has an outdoor yard, it's in a great neighborhood, there are so many good eateries and stores there and everyone's excited we're coming because of course we're going to bring lots of foot traffic."
With the help of dozens of volunteers spending hundreds of hours rebuilding and painting inside, the new center will celebrate its grand opening on Dec. 3, but it's already open and functioning. For more information, visit www.diversitycenter.org.
Spit and Polish
What's the second funniest thing about the 30TH SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL STAND-UP COMEDY COMPETITION? Almost none of it takes place in San Francisco. And the funniest thing? The comics, of course. This latter fact comes hardly as a surprise given that hundreds of wannabe WILL DURSTS and ROSEANNE BARRS audition for the privilege of competing in the annual event, and out of these herds only 30 are chosen--and only five of these selectees survive the grueling schedule--which involves competing for four weeks at 18 different venues--to make it to the finals.
As JON FOX, who organizes the annual event with his wife, ANNE, explains, "We try to have certain types of venues in each round of the competition--a college, a casino, a theater and a nightclub scene--to put comedians into different performance challenges and show who can thrive best in all situations."
This year, the final is being held this Saturday at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center in Santa Cruz, a venue so intimate that the audiences are within spitting distance of the comedians--a reality that has already got finalist DON FRIESEN quipping, "Great. Then I'll save up my saliva!"
To be fair, Friesen, who won the event six years ago, relies more on self-deprecation than vitriol--a characteristic he hopes will help him beat out his four fellow finalists: San Francisco's manic KEVIN AVERY, DAVE BURLEIGH from the "mean streets of Los Altos," Fairfield-based Cain Lopez and Portland's most dangerous comic FLOYD J. PHILLIPS--to win the $30,000 prize and retake the title, which ROBIN WILLIAMS, DANA CARVEY, WILL DURST and ELLEN DEGENERES have held.
For his part, Friesen likes the 15-to-20-minute spiel time that comics are given in the final stretch of the event.
"It gives you a chance to show what you can do, especially if you're not a one-note comedian," says Friesen. "My shtick is a composite of my life experience. My act is almost completely clean. I'm a dad, I have two kids. I'm not angry, but I do have a lot of angst. I tried to do bitter, but making fun of myself works best."
Tickets for the 9pm Oct. 8 event, which Sue Murphy emcees, are $25/door or $20/ advance from Streetlight Records or Ticket web.com. For more information, call 415.383.4759.

I'm undecided on her She seems a bit *too* skinny, but regardless of that, when I first saw her on SFASM I thought she'd win over the other finalists. I don't think she's particularly photogenic though.
30-09-2003 | |
I like her. I don't particularly care for Alyssa Sutherland, so this girl is a more appealing Aussie model to me.

Disappointed book inspired films
(55 Posts)What book inspired films would you say really let the literature down?
One that really sticks in my mind is Cecelia Ahern's PS: I Love You. I adore the book. It has moments of laughter and sadness. I actually cried reading it.
The film was a huge disappointment. I just couldn't gel with it. It didn't flow right and quite a substantial amount of the book was left out.
Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Book beyond brilliant. Film dire.
But don't forget what Hitchcock did with most Daphne DuMaurier. There are probably others, where the film is better than the book.
The Golden compass. I nearly walked out. I was seething.
I agree with PS I Love You, also The Davinci Code, couldn't put the book down, missed huge pieces out of the film. Biggest disappointment was Marley and Me, the book was the most touching book I have ever read (as a dog owner/lover), I went through a whole box of tissues at the end, DH sat aghast and watched me sob, film was a waste of time.
I believe if you have read the book don't bother with the film.
EachandEvery I must make a note to read Captain Corelli's Mandolin. I thought the film was OK which goes back to my post about seeing the film first. I am sure once I read the book I will change my mind about the film
Omg the golden compass! I'm livid! My favourite books of all time. If I win the lottery I'll buy the rights from new line cinema and remake them I promise! I'll get Ben affleck to direct, just because he's cute
world war Z
I'm just about to start reading the girl with the dragon tattoo. Watched the film first which is unlike me, I like it- are the books good?
Dark is rising
Gutted. My all time favourite book. Wrecked.
World War Z. Someone said: it has everything you loved ... about the title. Yup. Such an absolute waste of source material.
I'm with you there Earthworms. Not my favourite book but one which terrified me as a youngster. The film would have fine (if rather average) if I'd not known the source material. I am glad that Alan Garner's books seem to have avoided film adaptation, <whispers> it must be time to redo the Owl Service on telly.... </whispers>
I think the best book adaptations are where the book was disappointing but the film is ace. I suspect Pride and Prejudice and Zombies would be much better on the screen.
I am legend
Never let me go
Golden compass
I hear they are filming 'the book thief'. I loved that book too...
BigW the Book Thief is a brilliant book, would be interested to see the film adaptation.
Agree with you BigW on I am legend.
That was a great book and a poor film. The saving grace about that cinema trip was the fact that when the dog died a women behind us howled and howled until she was dragged out by her friend. I think she must have recently lost a dog but it was so surreal!
Tales from Earthsea - I couldn't actually figure out how it related to the Earthsea books at all . . .
Katekate77 - I read the book first, enjoyed it and thought they did a reasonable job with the film (I saw the Swedish version as opposed to the American one). They had to leave out a lot though - the book is much more complicated.
Another vote for Captain Corelli's Mandolin - urgghhhh.
The Woman in Black
The Lovely Bones
We need to talk about Kevin
Atonement is the only example of a film being better than the book imo.
Oh thought of another, all the Girl with Dragon Tattoo books are dull as ditch water but films are ok.
The Dark is Rising. Painfully bad.
If we can give examples of films being better than the book, I put forward Mary Poppins, Dick Van Dyke's dodgy cockney accent and all.
YY to the Dark Is Rising. Would make a wonderful TV series.
PS I love you nothing like the book.
I don't know how she does it - loved the book. Film was set in America (was meant to be in England) and missed out most of the point.
Have tried to read the English patient and failed at least twice but loved the film.
The book thief is released later this year I think.
Mine is the hunger games. And pride and prejudice. And the other Boleyn girl.
Actually I can't think of a good adaptation ?
Cold Mountain - woefully miscast.
Agree it's hard to think of a film that's better than the book, best I can usually say is if it's pretty true to the story.

Travel disruption is expected across the UK after the Met Office issued the highest possible weather alert for parts of the country, and advised people not to "not travel" and "avoid the coast".
As rush hour kicks off on Wednesday, travellers are facing diversions.
The Highways Agency (HA) has advised road users in the South West, North West and North East of England to check the weather forecast and road conditions before they travel, as high winds are forecast.
A HA Severe Weather Alert has asked those using high-sided vehicles, caravans and motorbikes to take extra care when travelling due to the increased risk of vehicles blowing over.
Drivers are also asked to plan for their journey before they set out, checking the forecast and road conditions and to leave extra time if travel conditions are poor, and to delay their journey if the weather becomes severe.
There are still major disruptions for rail services, with severe delays between Reading and London due to flooding near Maidenhead, while the QEII bridge at the Dartford crossing has been shut due to high winds.
Avon and Somerset Police have closed Spine Road, St Philips Causeway, Arnos Vale, in Bristol, in both directions as a "safety precaution" after a lorry driver blew over in his vehicle.
The AA said it had attended 29 flood-stricken vehicles on Wednesday, bringing the total to more than 680 since Friday.
Rail advice:
Both north-south rail arteries are now blocked.
The East Coast line is currently closed in both directions.
With the West Coast main line closed north of Preston for the remainder of the day, travellers between London, the north of England and Scotland were re-routed via the East Coast. But at 9pm, a train from Edinburgh to London King's Cross struck a fallen tree and sustained damage.
National Rail Enquiries is also reporting major disruptions on Abellio Greater Anglia, Arrive Trains Wales, CrossCountry, East Midlands Trains, First Great Wester, First Hull Trains, First TransPennine Express, London Midland, Merseyrail, Northern Rail, South West Trains, Southeastern, Southern, and Virgin Trains.
The organisation is also posting live travel updates on its Twitter page.
Virgin Trains, which operates across large parts of the UK including between London and Edinburgh, posted a message in capital letters on its official Twitter account urging "all customers to abandon travel".
It added: "Owing to overhead wire problems between Crewe and Liverpool Lime Street all lines are blocked, delays of up to 30 mins are expected."
All Virgin services out of London Euston are suspended until further.
Network Rail said some train services were running out of Euston station to Birmingham and Wolverhampton but with delays.
Several train firms said Crewe station was evacuated and all services stopped after the roof was blown off the station. There were also problems with overhead power lines in the area.
Problems have been reported at Lichfield near Stafford, Stoke, Crewe, Macclesfield and Stone.
Oxfordshire, Hampshire, Sussex, Kent and Surrey were among the counties where train disruption was rife.
In West Sussex, a lightning strike at Angmering caused signalling problems which affected services.
Those travelling from London through the Midlands and to the north west of England had to put up with speed restrictions tonight, with passengers warned to expect their journeys to take up to 60 minutes longer than normal.
There are minor delays to Northern Rail services.
Diversion advice for motorists:
Sections of many roads were closed due to flooding, with the depth of water causing a lane of the M25 in Surrey to close. Fallen trees added to the problems for motorists.
Among areas and routes affected by flooded roads and obstructions on the road were Purley in south London, a number of routes in Worcester city, the A29 in West Sussex, the A35 at Christchurch in Dorset, the A30 in Somerset, the A41 in Shropshire, and the A49 Wigan Road at Ashton-in-Makerfield in Greater Manchester.
M6 Cheshire, closed in both directions:
The M6 is closed in both directions between junctions J20 and J21 due to high wind speeds being experienced.
Diversions in operation:
Northbound traffic exit the M6 at J19 to join the A556 northbound and then join M56 eastbound and then the M60 clockwise to join the M62 westbound and then rejoin the M6 northbound..
Southbound traffic will exit the M6 at J21 and join the A57 westbound to join the A50 southbound to rejoin the M6 at J20A.
The A249 Sheppey Crossing is closed in both directions to all vehicles due to high winds. Traffic is being diverted via the Kingsferry Bridge.
The A14 Orwell Bridge in Suffolk is closed eastbound between junctions J55 and J58 and westbound between junctions J58 and J56 due to high wind speeds being experienced.
Traffic is being diverted in both directions between J55 and J58.
Eastbound traffic should exit at J55 and take the A1214 to the Woodbridge Road roundabout. Join the A1189 and continue to Felixstowe Road and join the A1156. Continue on the A1156 to J58 and rejoin the A14.
Traffic travelling west bound should follow the above route in reverse.

An employee of a North Miami pawn shop turned the tables on a would-be robber, opening fire on the suspect and chasing him off, police said Tuesday.
Police say the owner of American Pawn at 13007 Northwest 7th Street shot at robbery suspect Jeffrey D. Moore, 20, who quickly fled the area.
The incident began when an employee confronted Moore, who was armed, and a struggle ensued to get ahold of the weapon. Moore was then shot by the employee, and he ran away and hid in an adjoining residential neighborhood until he was located by the police, authorities said.

"You've got to pay a livable wage, ... We've got some excellent staff that are turning things around."
Anthony Grant
"We're just in a critical position,"

"Where does that leave us in terms of the town clerk and public-works director?"
"I wish I had better insight to realize the financial strain he was under. He really wanted to help his family, and that was the entire purpose of why he did what he did. ... But he learned that sometimes you end up hurting the people you love when you try to do too much."
"Those losses were good because we hadn't been hardened yet as a team. To lose like that, heartbreaking losses, that stuff hardens you. And it helps you because now you're able to hear what (Donovan) has to say. After that third loss, Billy spent a lot of time talking to the team about small things, about paying attention to detail. We hadn't been doing those things, and it finally caught up to us."
"That's why you count your blessings when you get here. You realize how fortunate you are."
"We had other options. But, I'll say, we were very, very happy when he made the call to say he was still interested in us."
"We're playing in the last game. It's the thing that every coach wants when the season begins. And it's a very good feeling."
"I believe it would be the fulfillment of a dream for him. When you think about a guy who was a part of it as a player and to be here for a second time as a head coach, he has run the gamut of emotions, but he hasn't felt the emotion of winning it. You can imagine what an unbelievable feeling that would be for him."

Here We Come, Capitalist Swine
I attended a typical East Dallas Dem-fest last week -- a fund-raiser for U.S. Senate candidate (Cornyn's seat) Emil Reichstadt. Got there for the tail-end of Emil's remarks.
Over the weekend what kept replaying through my head were remarks not by Emil but by lifelong loyal Dems with whom I chatted after the speech, out on the lawn of the extremely interesting Robert Bellamy estate. If I distill it all down to the basics, I think this is what several of them were thinking:
If Oakley can get elected mayor -- with this wild-ass, off-the-wall, barricaded gunman campaign of his -- then it's finally really true: Republicans are dead in Dallas.
Some people thought maybe it was already true when Jim Foster got elected county judge. If a nebbishy nonentity from nowhere can win the top county spot just by being on the ballot, maybe it means people out there hate the party of Bush/Cheney so bad that whoever is on the Democratic ticket wins from here on out.

But Foster could have been a fluke -- a Being There thing, a Casper whom nobody even noticed on the ballot. Oakley, on the other hand, is aggressively obnoxious, causing even the most die-hard Dems to gasp and hold their hearts over the sheer vileness of his campaign in the last couple weeks.
What if that doesn't matter? Has the day finally arrived when a Democratic candidate can be exuberantly awful and people will vote for him anyway because he's not a damn Busher? And if so, what would we call this?
I think I'd call it simple equity. --Jim Schutze

Gloria Romero: Education reform effort at critical juncture
Tone deaf? Fear of powerful special interests?
Or was it simply an overt expression of disdain for an independent judiciary and a historic court ruling on behalf of mostly poor and minority students?
To whatever it can be attributed, just days after Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Rolf Treu issued a ruling on the unconstitutionality of five employment laws affecting teacher hiring and dismissal, including tenure, California legislators continued with business as usual. At the June 18 Senate Education Committee hearing, Assembly member Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego, argued for passage of Assembly Bill 1619 to expand permanent employment status (tenure) to school districts serving fewer than 250 students, currently exempted due to their small size.
It was a disturbing public display of the disconnect between Sacramento politicians and the majority of Californians, who support reform of teacher employment and dismissal laws that have made it too easy to hire ineffective teachers and too hard to fire them – even when they have committed egregious acts of criminal misconduct against kids.
Despite past efforts to reform these laws, it took nine brave children – backed by education reformers – to file a civil rights lawsuit, Vergara v. California, seeking to invalidate five laws exacerbating the inequitable access to quality teachers in California's classrooms.
Prior to the ruling,the Gonzalez bill had sailed through the Assembly.
One might think Judge Treu's ruling would prompt Gonzalez to halt her efforts to expand laws just ruled unconstitutional. After all, she is a talented legislator representing a significant number of poor and Latino children in her San Diego district. But prior to her election to the Legislature, she headed the San Diego labor federation and is heavily backed by the California Teachers Association. Indeed, she appeared oblivious to the ruling that has generated national attention.
In a rare setback to the teachers union, the bill failed in the Senate Education Committee – but only because two Democrats, Sens. Lou Correa of Santa Ana and Loni Hancock of Berkeley abstained, and three Republicans voted no. All other Democrats – including the committee chair – continued to pay homage to the union's clout and voted in favor.
Nonetheless, the bill could get a reconsideration vote as early as Wednesday.
The fight for education reform has reached a critical juncture.Many want to see whether politicians continue to kowtow to powerful special interests, or muster the courage to stand up for millions of poor and minority children seeking justice when the Education Committee reconvenes.
What leadership will newly elected Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, exhibit? Will he show allegiance to his former employer – CTA – and urge the bill's passage? Or as the first modern-era Latino Senate president, will he respect a court ruling on behalf of poor and Latino students, urge defeat and instruct the Legislature to start rewriting statutes now deemed unconstitutional?
I'm hoping for the latter.

Siddha science considers nature and man as essentially one. Nature is man and man is nature. Man is said to be the microcosm and Universe is the macrocosm because what exists in the world exists in man. Man is nothing but a miniature world containing
A close relationship is found to exist between the external world and the internal system of man. Siddhars (practitioners of Siddha) maintain that the structure of the human body is a miniature world in itself. Man consumes water and food, breathes the air and thus maintains the heat in the body. He is alive on account of the life force given by ether. The earth is the first element which gives fine shape to the body including bones, tissues, muscles, skin, hair etc. Water is the second element representing blood, secretions of the glands, vital fluid etc. Fire is the third element that gives motion, vigor and vitality to the body. It also helps digestion, circulation and simulation besides respiration and the nervous system. Above all, ether is the characteristic of man's mental and spiritual faculties.
Siddha system of medicine is based on Saiva Siddhantha. Siddha is a Tamil word that is derived from its root 'chit' which means perfection in life or "heavenly bliss".

MySpace.com is a funny place. Millions of bands and people all coming together to try and out-cool each other on a global scale. I must admit I'm prone to a bit of MySpace nonsense, usually contacting some random people in the hope that they might like my band, but nevertheless, it's a worthwhile corner of the Internet universe as it was Autumdivers who came along and wanted to be my MySpace friend.
The intro to the album is a wonderful, barely conscious dribble of sounds, all melding into one another until something screams, and we're in to the album proper. 'Turnaround' is, like most Autumdivers songs, a long, protracted exercise in two chords, reverb and simple drumming. Not that this is a bad thing, on the contrary, it's a delightful mix of all your favourite shoegazers, thrown together and made to play acoustics. There are elements of Ride, Mary Chain, and maybe even Hood, but without the electronics.
Standout tracks 'Amend', 'Disappearing Act' and 'Get Me Out' are stunning in their own little world, as laidback stoner rock, but with less beards and drop D riffage, and more sunglasses, delay pedals and melancholy.
Maybe a bit overlong, without actually doing that much, but on the whole, the album is a pleasant antidote to the high dramas of post-rock, or the dirge of prog. It's kinda like the musical equivalent of morphine - it's unlikely to make you get up and dance, but it's excellent as wistful background music, when you need to relax and savour life's many nuances.

Currency fluctuations, particularly in the French franc, dollar and German mark, knocked pounds 5.5m from the group's half-year sales and more than pounds 1m from the pre-tax profit figure.
The currency impact forced Sage shares lower in early trading in spite of a 20 per cent increase in interim profits to pounds 19.3m.
However, the shares later recovered to close 1.5p higher on the day at 654.5p.
Profits in all main markets, the UK, US and mainland Europe, grew.
Sage expressed confidence that the pounds 40m acquisition of KHK, Germany's largest vendor of accounting software, would prove beneficial with Sage working to improve margins.
In France the removal of overlapping product ranges cost pounds 2.5m in the first half while in the US operating profits rose by 16 per cent.
On current trading, David Goldman, chairman, said the second half had started well and he expected the outcome for the full year to be satisfactory.
Group sales were 2 per cent higher at pounds 73.6m in the six months to 31 March. The dividend was increased by 10 per cent to 0.97p.

Case study: Wetherspoons
The pub chain maintains that variable hour contracts have been in place at the company since they started, and has been successful in allowing both the employer and the workers a greater flexibility in their hours. It is believed that around two thirds of Wetherspoons' staff are flexible employees and the success of the company has to do not only with good management but also a motivated and engaged workforce. Indeed, in September 2013 more than 21,000 zero hour workers at Wetherspoons were awarded benefits consisting of a share in a £22 million bonus pot in cash and shares.
Wetherspoon spokesperson Eddie Gershon says: "Wetherspoons does operate flexible contracts for its hourly paid staff because the company operates in a seasonal sector and offers flexible hours to meet demand… [It] probably offers more hours per week than any other pub company because of its long opening hours and the fact that its pubs are busy throughout the day and Wetherspoon pub managers always try to give staff the hours they want."
He went on to explain how Wetherspoons are careful to make sure their flexible staff receive holiday pay, bonuses, staff discounts and a number of other benefits including a free shares option after 18 months. He confirmed a statistic from the ONS that states: "flexible hours suit many people, though we appreciate that they do not suit all."

Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Police interrogate girl over convoy attack[TamilNet, Sunday, 01 March 1998, 23:59 GMT]The Sri Lankan Police in Trincomalee is interrogating a girl working in the accounts department of the Naval base in the eastern port whom it has accused of passing information to the Liberation Tigers about the SLN convoy which was attacked by the Sea Tigers last Sunday. The girl, Maalini Subramaniam, was arrested last Wednesday by the Trincomalee Police on a tip off from an LTTE suspect in their custody said defence sources. But a well informed member of an ex-Tamil militant group operating in Trincomalee dismissed the claims of the Police, saying that she was naturally suspect because she was a Tamil working in a sensitive position. He pointed out that Maalini Subramaniam has been working in the Navy's accounts section for more than three years. He was of the opinion that someone working with her could have petitioned the Police that she had links with the LTTE which, he said, is not an uncommon occurrence in Sri Lankan government offices.

Bgy chief/homeowners prexy slain in Caloocan
- Written by Edd Reyes
- Published in Metro
- Read: 830
A newly-elected president of a homeowners association and currently chairman of Bgy. 166 was gunned down by four unidentified masked men inside his office Wednesday afternoon in Caloocan City.
Barangay Chairman Onofre "Obet" delos Santos, 58, of 714 General Luis St., Bgy. 166, Kaybiga, and president of Vista Verde Homeowners Association, succumbed to bullet wounds in the body while being rushed to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital.
Caloocan Police North Extension Office (NEO) desk officer PO1 Divine Grace Rola said Delos Santos, together with certain Zaldy Fernandez, Manny Igliane and Marcelo Lao, were inside the office of the homeowners association on Vista Verde main road, Bgy. 167, Llano Road, when armed masked men barged in at around 3 p.m. and ordered the victim to lie down.
The suspects then repeatedly shot the victim then grabbed his clutch bag containing valuables and cash collections before they fled on two motorcycles.
Elements of the Scene of the Crime Operatives (SOCO) recovered at the crime scene an empty shell and a deformed slug for cal. .45 pistol which will be submitted to PNP Crime Laboratory for ballistic examination.
In an interview with one of the officials of Bgy. 166, who refused to be identified, he said they have gathered information that their chairman's name is on the police watchlist as alleged protector of illegal drugs.
However, homicide investigator SPO2 Allan Budios gathered from sources that the victim had received death threats since his assumption as homeowners president of Vista Verde-North Executive Homes.
Caloocan police chief Senior Supt. Johnson Almazan ordered a thorough and impartial investigation into the killing of Delos Santos and bring those responsible to justice.

Sony's Waterproof Camera Is Slimmer than the Rest
The Sony TX5 is a bit slimmer in every dimension, versus Casio's ultra slim waterproof camera which was announced last month: the $299.99 Casio EXILIM G EX-G1. The respective dimensions are as follows:
Casio EXILIM G EX-G1: 2.53 by 4.01 by .78 (HWD) inches
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX5: 3.75 by 2.25 by .72 (HWD) inches
Like the Casio EX-G1, the Sony TX5 will also be ruggedized so it can withstand drops as high as 5 feet and operate in temperatures as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Its housing will also permit the camera to shoot in water depths up to 10 feet deep.
The Sony TX5 will offer 10.2-megapixel captures (via the CMOS image sensor), 4X optical zoom and high-definition video capture at 720p30. It will sell for about $350 beginning this April, in color choices of silver, black, pink, green and red.
Also announced on Wednesday was the $250 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H55, with a 10X optical zoom. This new model is a less expensive version of the 10X optical zoom camera that Sony launched last month, the $350 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5, which uses a better CMOS image sensor and offers high-definition video capture at higher resolutions and a choice of variable-bit-rate codecs for higher-quality video. The H55 also lacks support for TransferJet, a new wireless radio, which the HX5 included.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H55 will offer 14.1 megapixel captures via a CCD image sensor, 10X optical zoom and high-definition video capture at 720p30. It will be available for about $250 in April, with color options of black and silver.

Lincoln History
Abraham Lincoln High School came into existence on Tuesday, August 27, 1940, accepting approximately 950 students under Lincoln's first Principal, Clyde W. White. Its opening and dedication ceremony was held on September 22, 1940.
The result of a 1938 bond measure approved by San Francisco voters to address the increasing population in the Western San Francisco area, Abraham Lincoln High School was incorporated into a modern three-story building that was completed at a cost of over $750,000 in 1940 with just 50 classrooms, a cafeteria, a football field, and a library. A little known fact is that the North and South Gymnasiums, the auditorium, and the bungalow expansion were completed much later as separate projects.

Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Vets sought to treat wounded elephant[TamilNet, Wednesday, 23 July 2003, 02:09 GMT]The Forest Conservation Division of the Liberation Tigers Wednesday appealed for veterinarian experts to help treat an elephant which had been seriously injured after triggering a landmine, officials said. The tusker trampled on a landmine in the thick jungles of Odduchuddan in Mullaitivu district. The area had been occupied by Sri Lankan troops during Operation Jaya Sikirui in the late nineties and the area has not been demined after it was recaptured by the LTTE in November 1999. Forest Conservation sources said that hundreds of wild animals have been killed in these jungle areas by landmines. Forest Conservation Officials are urgently seeking the assistance of experts and wild life conservation organizations to help treat the wounded pachyderm, which is said to be in distress. |

Automated Verification of Virtualized Infrastructures
Publication: Research - peer-review › Article in proceedings – Annual report year: 2011
Virtualized infrastructures and clouds present new challenges
for security analysis and formal verification: they are complex
environments that continuously change their shape, and that
give rise to non-trivial security goals such as isolation and
failure resilience requirements. We present a platform that
connects declarative and expressive description languages
with state-of-the art verification methods. The languages
integrate homogeneously descriptions of virtualized infrastructures,
their transformations, their desired goals, and
evaluation strategies. The different verification tools range
from model checking to theorem proving; this allows us to
exploit the complementary strengths of methods, and also to
understand how to best represent the analysis problems in
different contexts. We consider first the static case where the
topology of the virtual infrastructure is fixed and demonstrate
that our platform allows for the declarative specification of a
large class of properties. Even though tools that are specialized
to checking particular properties perform better than
our generic approach, we show with a real-world case study
that our approach is practically feasible. We finally consider
also the dynamic case where the intruder can actively change
the topology (by migrating machines). The combination of
a complex topology and changes to it by an intruder is a
problem that lies beyond the scope of previous analysis tools
and to which we can give first positive verification results.

(CNN) - John McCain and Sarah Palin are campaigning in Media Pennsylvania this hour.
Watch the event on CNN.com/live
BALTIMORE, Maryland, (CNN) – One day after John McCain questioned Barack Obama's judgment to be commander-in-chief in front of the conference of the National Guard Association, Democratic VP nominee Joe Biden came to his defense in front of the same gathering Monday, hitting McCain on foreign policy and national security.
Biden also countered John McCain's accusation that behind Barack Obama's views "lies the ambition to be president."
"No one party has a monopoly on virtue or good ideas," said Biden. "We can question each other's judgment, that's what elections are all about but we have to stop questioning each other's motives and each other's patriotism."
"We all put 'country first,'" he added, borrowing the McCain camp's slogan. "When John and I send our sons to war, they don't wear a Republican flag or a Democratic flag. They wear the American flag."
McCain's son Jimmy, a Marine lance corporal, has served in Iraq. Biden's son Beau, Delaware's attorney general and a member of the state's National Guard, will be deploying there this fall.
Like McCain's Sunday remarks, Biden's lines on patriotism and the American flag got a rousing reception from the crowd. The crowd was silent during his attacks on the Republican nominee.
Leaders from all over the world are gathering in New York this week for the fall session of the United Nation's General Assembly.
And with all the possible conversations between heads of state and other political leaders that will go on there...One meeting is creating so much hype, the flies are fighting for spots on the wall to listen in.
Alaskan Governor and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin is scheduled to meet with Afghan President Hamid Karzai. The meeting comes as the McCain-Palin camp works to assure voters she has a good enough grasp of foreign policy to be one heartbeat way from the presidency.
Until now, Palin's foreign policy experience involves a trip to Kuwait and Germany to visit Alaskan National guard members...And something about being able to see Russia from her house.

Brief Synopsis
In the Russian countryside in July 1896, Dr. Mikhail Astroff arrives at the estate of the aging Professor Alexander Serebryakov, who is plagued by gout. Meeting with elderly nurse Marina in the garden, Astroff reflects that he has been visiting the estate for more than eleven years, and has grown bored by the unvarying dullness of country life. Ivan Petrovich "Vanya" Voynitsky, the professor's brother-in-law from his first marriage, and the manager of the estate, joins Astroff and Marina, and describes the dreary daily routine of the querulous Serebryakov. Despite his fondness for his niece, Sonia, Vanya remains critical of her father's torpid lifestyle. Just then Serebryakov, his second wife Elena and Sonia arrive in the garden and Vanya comments on the injustice of an old man having such a young and beautiful wife. Vanya's mother Maria and family friend, Ilya Ilyich Telegin, a poor but pleasant man who works on the estate, join the others and Maria nags Vanya about his unsuccessful financial management of the estate. Before departing to tend to a local patient, the doctor casually invites Elena to visit him some time at his secluded home deep in the forest. Despite Elena's cool response, Astroff describes the beauty of nature and the unfortunate tendency of man to destroy it. Annoyed by Astroff's patronizing air, Elena mocks his fondness for nature, prompting Sonia, who secretly admires Astroff, to protest. After the doctor's departure, Elena chats with Vanya, expressing her puzzlement over the village's constant gossip about her marriage to a much older man. Overcome by Elena's nearness, Vanya declares his love for her, but Elena remains completely indifferent. Two weeks later, during an evening rainstorm, Serebryakov petulantly accuses his wife of being repelled by his old age and suspects that his family is only waiting for him to die. Sonia enters the study and chastises her father for summoning Astroff, then refusing to see him. Serebryakov dismisses Astroff as incompetent and continues his grievance about being disregarded by his family, until placated by the soothing Marina. A little later, Vanya again makes overtures to Elena only to be rebuffed. In private Vanya wonders what his life might have been had he rather than Serebryakov married Elena. Meanwhile, Astroff and Telegin have consumed several glasses of vodka and Telegin plays his guitar and sings. Astroff drunkenly tells Sonia that her father refuses to follow his medical advice and is wallowing in his stagnant existence while Vanya foolishly pursues Elena, who remains oblivious and self-absorbed. Sonia pleads with Astroff not to drink and points out that he is behaving like the ignorant peasants of whom he is so critical. Startled, Astroff reflects that life is passing him by and then comments upon Elena's great beauty. Sonia asks the doctor what he would do if a woman fell in love with him, but Astroff declares that he is incapable of loving anyone. That evening, Elena approaches Sonia and the two women, estranged since the professor's marriage, reconcile. Although Elena declares she does indeed love Serebryakov, she admits that she is unhappy. Sonia confesses her feelings for Astroff and Elena cautions her that the doctor is a difficult man. Pleased about their reconciliation, Elena offers to play the piano for Sonia if her husband will allow, but Serebryakov refuses. By September, little has changed at the Serebryakov estate. Continually bored, Elena laments the coming winter. When Sonia stoically confides that she has given up all hope that Astroff will notice her, Elena offers to ask Astroff about his feelings. Upon reflection, Elena realizes her own attraction to Astroff, but, when alone with the doctor, as promised, asks him if he cares for Sonia. Perplexed, Astroff confesses that he believes his time for happiness has passed. Abruptly suspecting that Elena is only flirting with him, Astroff criticizes her for her selfish, spoiled existence, yet embraces and kisses her. Walking in on the couple, Vanya is stunned, despite Elena's feigned outrage at Astroff's behavior. Astroff departs and Vanya's heartbroken attempt to question Elena is interrupted by Serebryakov's appearance and declaration that he has an announcement. When the household members have gathered, Serebryakov declares his intention to sell the estate and retire to a small country cottage. Shocked and outraged, Vanya angrily objects, reminding the professor that his sister left the property to Sonia. Maria attempts to silence Vanya, but he emotionally proclaims that he has spent his entire life managing the estate and years earlier spent his own money to help his sister pay it off. Vanya then adds that he has worked since his sister's death for a pittance without any acknowledgment from Serebryakov. When Maria refuses Vanya's pleas for support, he storms from the room while the professor remains offended by the outburst. Sonia reminds her father of all the help her uncle has provided in the past and, agreeing to speak with Vanya, the professor goes in search of him. Moments later a gunshot rings out and Serebryakov rushes back into the room, followed by Vanya who waves a pistol at him and fires, missing him again. Distraught, Vanya collapses as Elena demands that her husband take her away. Two hours later, Marina and Telegin discuss the Serebryakovs' impending departure. Astroff appears and demands that Vanya return a missing vial of morphine. When Sonia chastises her uncle for not bearing his despair properly, he gives the morphine to Astroff. Before departing, Serebryakov meets with Vanya to exchange apologies while Elena bids farewell to Astroff. The doctor repeats his invitation to visit him in the forest, but then condemns the Serebryakovs for poisoning the estate with their idleness. Elena and Serebryakov depart, leaving Sonia with her uncle, who remains despondent over Elena's final snub. After accepting a drink offered by Marina, Astroff takes his leave. As Sonia settles into helping Vanya with the bills, she reflects that they will live a long time in poverty and solitude which, in time, will matter to no one.
