Performance and Narrative: Craft Notes
Last night, in the Dikeou Gallery in Denver, as part of the launch for TITMOUSE magazine, I gave, towards the end of the evening — a performance, that built in me:
:as I sat in my chair. Built. Until it became impossible to consider reading from the Belladonna chapbook of a book, a "poem-essay" (not yet written): BAN. Instead, I did this. I presented a scene from a novel that does not exist, in novel-form: though the scene does.
I performed a scene from a novel in order to write a novel. How does a poet write a novel?
Nude Page for Ban:
1. To strip down, partially, because nudity, to be effective, to be frightening, should be that. I read it like this — the description. Of the person who was exposed: to light. In the night-time scene.
2. To ask three women of color, who identify as non-white in some way, to stand to my left. One is my mother, one is my sister, one is my child who was not born.
3. To ask eleven men who are white, or who identify as white, to stand to my right.
4. There is what I understand later to be a ceremony, or at the very least, preparation. To prepare for what's coming, and it comes. The red Kashmiri powder mixed with champagne in the cup. Or water. Or champagne. The alcohol has a place in the story. The water is always there, pouring over the rooves and into the streets at night as rain. The women apply the paste to my torso, throat and face. I stop them when I am dark enough. Darker than I was. Visibly so.
5. An invitation. To take, in turns, the chance to hit. Or kick. Or hit. Or hurt. The white men took it in turns to hit me, then re-formed the loop. I ended the loop by saying, now the performance is over. I did not feel attenuated or vivid during the series of impacts; I felt something else.
6. Afterwards.
7. Afterwards, the men spoke to me, some of the men spoke to me, about mixed race sensation deep in the body, and what it felt like to line up, to identify as white, and what it felt like to hit a woman with a symbolic weakness or low tone. With the women of color, something else unfolded. They wept. And in the night, an e-mail from Danielle Vogel about color and failure. The sensation, again, in the body around race. With the women, I talked about writing directly. With the men, the work was to talk about touch.
8. I want to write another symbolic scene and I want to stand on the edge of the carpet. The carpet is a concrete floor. It is a street. It is a year. It is 1978 or 1979; a brown-skinned girl, walking home from school like Brueghel's Icarus, gets caught in the beginning moments of what will become a year-long surge of racist violence, culminating in the Southall Race Riot of 1979, in April, in which the anti-racist campaigner, Blair Peach, died.
9. Today, I finished Kurdo Baksi's "Memoir of Friendship" — an account of Steig Larsson's anti-racism work in Europe in the 1970s, 80s, 90s, and on. I wept by the daffodills to complete it, this small book from the Loveland Public Library. At the limit of three renewals, I had to return it today. I wept and wept, discharging the emotion from the night before. I pinned the postcard of Leanora Carrington, sent by Kate Zambreno, to the tree.
10. Some of the red is from the powder, which is Hinduism. But I wanted to record the bruise beneath my left clavicle, and also a scratch. I can't see the scratch in this photograph. Next time, I would push that loop until it burst of its own accord. The moment of terror, someone in the audience said, was when the men lined up again. I made a factory line. I did not give them an instruction but, having struck my body, to varying degrees, they took their places again. Like cognition.
13. Laura Mullen sent a photograph from the Guggenheim's HAUNTED show. I immediately saw, a fact that was confirmed by my mother, that she had sent the Southall Water Tower; or a structure resembling it so precisely, that I pinned it to the tree. Our (rather special) mailman said: "No Bach today? I think Satie would be a better choice for a tree…."
15. Which comes first: gender or ethnicity: as a factor in the violence committed against an immigrant woman or girl? ("Gender.") This is Steig Larsson's question. Not mine.

Organisers were forced to close the bar early at an 80s-themed concert at one of Auckland's top wineries because revellers reliving their youth were "staggering around" drunk.
Billed as "the biggest Downunder reunion of all-time", The Class of '81 event on Saturday afternoon at Villa Maria Estate near Auckland Airport was dedicated to celebrating the music from that year.
The Exponents, When the Cat's Away, Sharon O'Neill, Mental as Anything, Dragon and Shona Laing performed at the all-ages concert, which started at 2.30pm.
But some of the 4500-strong crowd got very drunk, forcing organisers to close the bar at 8pm, an hour early.
One punter described it as chaos.
"There wasn't real trouble ... [but] the place was filled with people in their 40s and 50s staggering around and trying to relive their youth. It wasn't pretty.
"When they closed the bar, it was like a braying mob, angry that they couldn't get another drink. It looked like it was going to get nasty, but fortunately it seemed to calm down without any serious problems."
Another concert-goer said he saw a small group "became unruly and aggressive" but thought it was an over-reaction to close the bar.
Police told him there had been a couple of fights and some drunken behaviour and they were worried the disorder might spread.
"I took a long walk among the crowd at that time. They were all in a relaxed, happy mood enjoying the atmosphere and the music. There was absolutely no evidence of out-of control behaviour," the man said.
"I would add that I was not personally wanting to purchase any further alcohol, but I felt strongly that the rights of other people were unreasonably interfered with by some meddlesome busy-body who had authority beyond their competence."
Villa Maria director Fabian Yukich said 99 per cent of the crowd behaved themselves and had a good time.
"It was a long day ... and a very, very hot day and after consulting with the District Licensing Authority and the police, we decided to close the bar a little bit early - which was probably a good decision. The call was made that if we closed it now, we wouldn't end up with issues later. It was more about being proactive, rather than acting afterwards."
A few concert-goers became disgruntled when they found the bar closed, Mr Yukich said, "but once we explained to them the reasons for closing the bar they understood".
Villa Maria had hosted 20 concerts and organisers always "tried to make it an experience people will enjoy".
"There may have been a couple of people who had had a little bit too much to drink ... but you try and stop that sort of thing from being too bad."
Mr Yukich said the winery normally closed the bar about 8.15pm but one of the problems on Saturday night was that it was before the final act, the Exponents, played.
Auckland Council spokeswoman Angela Jones said it was Villa Maria's decision to close the bar but licensing authority representatives at the winery were consulted.

I am Nitin Sundar starting off commentary today, and Sid Ravindran will bring you the second half. Gopi Rangarajan is on scoring, and that wonderful gentleman Sriram Veera is on the bulletin. Albie Morkel has the new ball, AB de Villiers has the big gloves. Shahzaib Hasan and Imran Farhat will open.
A bit of a delay at the start. Meanwhile, Shehzad is not a fan of Mohammad Hafeez. "Who has selected hafeez again and strange thing is there is never an objection on his selection. Look at this averages, they are far below than any batsman in the world and he is not a great bowler either."
19.57 A few minutes to go to the start. Enough time to install the spiffing new Chrome extension. It is for free and it is quite magnificent. In fact it is just what the doctor ordered.
South Africa have been trying to resurrect their Twenty20 side following the forgettable World Twenty20 2010. They have since beaten West Indies and Zimbabwe in the shorter format, but these conditions and the Pakistan team offer a different challenge. Pakistan, meanwhile, have blown hot and cold as always - beating Australia 2-0 before losing to England by the same margin on the recent England tour. Will Pakistan's performance here be affected by the spot-fixing controversy? Graeme Smith says it is not a distraction for South Africa.
19.50 Another legendary fast bowler is on air. Waqar Younis, the Pakistan coach. "We need to try and generate revenues from this series and ensure they are delivered back in Pakistan (where floods have caused massive devastation). Younis Khan is back in the longer formats. Mohammad Yousuf will be back too. We all know what happened in England, but now we have our brain back in cricket," he says.
Steyn on air: "These things happen," he says philosophically about that horrendous fall on his head, which led to concussion, in the Champions League semi-final. "I have broken fingers while fielding, broken my back while taking a catch - a lot of freak injuries." In essence, he's seen it all. "Another opportunity for Rusty Theron, and the other youngsters coming in. I want to bowl consistently at 150 kph, and in the right areas." Batsmen the world over won't want him to recover in a hurry.
19.43 Younis Khan is not playing today. But the big news is Jacques Kallis and Dale Steyn are not playing either. Steyn was warming up in the ground, but South Africa don't want to hurry him into action following that major injury in the Champions League.
19.38 It's that time of the year when there is cricket in every corner of the world. At times, even we struggle to keep track of it all.. just kidding! Download the ESPNcricinfo toolbar to ensure you don't miss anything.
We will bring you the teams once we have them. Meanwhile, time to log into Twitter and follow our new and improved avatar out there. Lots of news, rumination, interesting factoids, stats, the occasional quiz, and loads of fun to be had at @ESPNcricinfo - 140 characters of all the cricket you need.
Toss: Afridi wins the toss and elects to bat. "Reading the pitch is an art, there is something here for the fast bowlers, but it should favour batsmen. South Africa are a good opponent, lots of youngsters in both sides."
Johan Botha: "There will be dew later, I think it will work in our favour. Hope to form a good leadership partnership with Graeme Smith (captain of the other two formats). Great series against Zimbabwe and we look to continue that."
19.26 local time Hello and a warm welcome to the first Twenty20 between Pakistan and South Africa. Plenty of build-up to this series, it is an important one from Pakistan, from their home away from home in the Middle East. South Africa meanwhile return here after ten years. Firdose Moonda gives a ringside view of South Africa's lead-up to this tour here. The toss, from the resplendent Sheikh Zayed stadium in Abu Dhabi, is upon us in a couple of minutes.
JA Morkel to Shahzaib Hasan, 1 run, back of a length outside off and moving away, Shahzaib plays watchfully and picks a single behind square on the off side.
Two slips in place for Morkel. Reasonable and quite noisy crowd in.
JA Morkel to Imran Farhat, no run, slips down the leg to Farhat the left hander. A touch of the pad on the way denies the wide
JA Morkel to Imran Farhat, 1 wide, no such luck this time, Farhat made sure he let it go safely to the keeper. Morkel got this closer to the batsman, but not close enough.
JA Morkel to Imran Farhat, 1 wide, this time he's really sprayed it. A good foot and a half down the leg. Easy call for wide
JA Morkel to Imran Farhat, FOUR, crisply done. Albie finally lands one on the money, but it is invitingly over-pitched on middle stump and he flicks it elegantly over square leg
JA Morkel to Imran Farhat, FOUR, this is a poor start from Albie and Farhat is not letting him get away with it. Another gently half volley on the pads and Farhat gets inside the line and whips it in front of square leg
JA Morkel to Imran Farhat, no run, finally lands one on middle and leg, Farhat punches it nicely on the up but can't beat a sliding mid off
JA Morkel to Imran Farhat, 1 wide, Well well, Albie has left his radar device back in South Africa. Wide down the leg
JA Morkel to Imran Farhat, 1 wide, it does look like Albie believes Farhat is a right hander, despite all the evidence to the contrary. Another one goes down the leg.
JA Morkel to Imran Farhat, 1 run, over-pitched on middle and leg again, but this time there is protection at deep midwicket to prevent Farhat from flicking happily for four more. Just a single this time.
Horror start this for South Africa.
End of over 1 (14 runs) Pakistan 14/0 (RR: 14.00)
- Imran Farhat 9 (5b 2x4)
- Shahzaib Hasan 1 (1b)
- JA Morkel 1-0-14-0
Two slips for Tsotsobe, left arm over.
Tsotsobe to Imran Farhat, no run, better start from this end, hits the deck back of a length and pushes Farhat into the backfoot defence
Tsotsobe to Imran Farhat, 1 run, a hint of room this time just outside off and enough for Farhat to steer to the right of point for a single
Tsotsobe to Shahzaib Hasan, no run, angles across the right hander at 133 kph, and Shahzaib reaches out to play it towards point. Tall batsman, is Shahzaib. A half stride helps him cover a couple of feet
Tsotsobe to Shahzaib Hasan, no run, that's it, Shahzaib has seen enough and looks to thump one into Dubai. Misses making contact though as it whistles past outside off stump
Tsotsobe to Shahzaib Hasan, 1 run, hmm, a hint of inward movement from Tsotsobe, Shahzaib presses forward and ends up looking quite prone in front of the stumps. Thankfully got some inside edge out to square leg for a single
Tsotsobe to Imran Farhat, OUT, and gone. Farhat did not have to do this, he walked down the track, looking to dominate Tsotsobe early. It was floated well outside off, beating Farhat's pre-meditated intention to go over the leg side. Ended up going through with the shot anyway. Mistake. It took the toe end of the bat and landed in first slip's lap.
Imran Farhat c Smith b Tsotsobe 10 (10m 8b 2x4 0x6) SR: 125.00
End of over 2 (2 runs) Pakistan 16/1 (RR: 8.00)
- Shahzaib Hasan 2 (4b)
- LL Tsotsobe 1-0-2-1
- JA Morkel 1-0-14-0
Morne Morkel comes on to correct the follies of his brother.
M Morkel to Shahzaib Hasan, no run, big appeal, rightly turned down. Shahzaib again pushes his front foot out, it seems like a trigger movement that will have him in trouble against inward movement. Morne got it to jag back in and it hit him on the pads. But it was too high
M Morkel to Shahzaib Hasan, 1 no ball, good ball, except for the over-stepping. Shahzai ended up poking uncertainly as it shaped away from a length
M Morkel to Shahzaib Hasan, (no ball) 1 run, another no-ball. Albie specialises in wides, while Morne takes care of no-balls. Hmm. Shahzaib looks to launch the free-hit over wide long on, but it comes on faster and he ends up playing the shot too early. Single taken as the catch balloons to the outfield inconsequentially
M Morkel to Mohammad Hafeez, FOUR, lovely shot from Hafeez, he makes room by backing away from the stumps as Morne over-pitched on and outside off stump. Hafeez went down on his knees and drilled it square. Smoothly played.
M Morkel to Mohammad Hafeez, no run, hits the deck back of a length and forces Hafeez on to the backfoot. Defended to the offside
M Morkel to Mohammad Hafeez, no run, a hint of room outside off and Hafeez looks to slam it on the up. Straight to cover though. This pitch looks good.
M Morkel to Mohammad Hafeez, FOUR, another top shot from Hafeez! This was quick from Morne, pushing Hafeez back, but there was around half a foot of room outside off. Enough for Hafeez to go back in the crease, ride the bounce and coax it through point.
M Morkel to Mohammad Hafeez, no run, ends up with a fish outside off as Morne gets it to move away from outside off stump.
End of over 3 (11 runs) Pakistan 27/1 (RR: 9.00)
- Mohammad Hafeez 8 (5b 2x4)
- Shahzaib Hasan 3 (7b)
- M Morkel 1-0-11-0
- LL Tsotsobe 1-0-2-1
Tsotsobe to Shahzaib Hasan, 1 run, Shahzaib does that again, looking to fetch a ball from middle and off without quite getting to the pitch as it deviates in from a length. Inside edge dribbles away square on the leg side for one
Tsotsobe to Mohammad Hafeez, 1 run, on the stumps from Tsotsobe, who has easily looked the best of the three bowlers so far. Hafeez spots the hint of inswing, covers the deviation and punches to mid on for a quick single
Tsotsobe to Shahzaib Hasan, 1 run, Shahzaib gets a short one, and early indications that this is what he likes facing. Pushes forward as is his wont, but rocks back in time to slam the pull shot to deep square leg for one. It went in a trice.
Tsotsobe to Mohammad Hafeez, 1 run, slow off cutter at 127 kph, Hafeez spotted the change in pace and ran it down square on the off side for one
Tsotsobe to Shahzaib Hasan, 1 run, another slower ball, 120 kph this time and Shahzaib picks a single behind square on the off side
Tsotsobe to Mohammad Hafeez, 2 runs, Hafeez drives on the up through the covers, literally, since the fielder there dives over the ball. Theron runs across from mid off to keep it down to two. Not very well timed this time.
Faisal: "Was I the only one impressed by Asad Shafiq in England? If Pakistan played Hafeez as an allrounder there are better spin all rounders in Pakistan, Mansoor Amjad and Yasim Murtaza as a start."
End of over 4 (7 runs) Pakistan 34/1 (RR: 8.50)
- Mohammad Hafeez 12 (8b 2x4)
- Shahzaib Hasan 6 (10b)
- LL Tsotsobe 2-0-9-1
- M Morkel 1-0-11-0
M Morkel to Shahzaib Hasan, no run, another almighty swing and a miss from Shahzaib. Planted the front foot forward a good second in advance and looked to detonate it over long off. Missed the line completely though.
M Morkel to Shahzaib Hasan, 1 no ball, slower ball, swing and a miss again. Guess what, Morne has over-stepped again as well.
M Morkel to Shahzaib Hasan, 3 runs, short ball, hurries Shahzaib into a rather ungainly pull. He was setting himself for the front foot hit, but the bounce forced him into a pull. Top edge goes straight over the keeper's head for three.
M Morkel to Mohammad Hafeez, no run, slow off cutter from Morne, cleverly done and completely befuddles Hafeez, who played an attempted flick without getting his feet into position, approximately one second before the ball came
M Morkel to Mohammad Hafeez, no run, normal pace this time, coming into Hafeez who punches crisply to mid on
M Morkel to Mohammad Hafeez, no run, a touch of room outside off and Hafeez tries to steer it through point, but can't get it past the fielder
M Morkel to Mohammad Hafeez, no run, driven in pleasing fashion out to mid off. Too well-timed to steal a single
The fielders and batsmen are sweating buckets. Oh, the hot and humid ways of the Middle East!
End of over 5 (4 runs) Pakistan 38/1 (RR: 7.60)
- Mohammad Hafeez 12 (12b 2x4)
- Shahzaib Hasan 9 (13b)
- M Morkel 2-0-15-0
- LL Tsotsobe 2-0-9-1
Tsotsobe to Shahzaib Hasan, OUT, Shahzaib is gone. It is the kind of dismissal you would expect from someone who plonks the front foot across without intent to reach the length, and drives almost always on the up. It was on a length from Tsotsobe again, angling across Shahzaib, who did that half-stride across and looked to go over the off side. He ended up scooping it straight over Duminy at point, who ran back around 20 yards and took a nice tumbling catch.
Shahzaib Hasan c Duminy b Tsotsobe 9 (28m 14b 0x4 0x6) SR: 64.28
Umar Akmal walks out.
Tsotsobe to Mohammad Hafeez, no run, fullish on the stumps and Hafeez drives it to mid on
Tsotsobe to Mohammad Hafeez, 1 leg bye, close call - direct hit might have got him. Hafeez got some pad on it as it came in from back of a length on the stumps. It dribbled out to the off side and Duminy swooped across quickly as the batsmen hesitated. He shied, but missed.
Tsotsobe to Umar Akmal, no run, full and well outside off, Akmal looks for an expensive off drive, but can't quite time it
Tsotsobe to Umar Akmal, no run, lets one go outside off as it angles across from well outside off
Tsotsobe to Umar Akmal, FOUR, Umar plays the shot of the evening. Marginally over-pitched by Tsotsobe outside the off stump, Akmal rises with the bounce and slams it with the full face through the covers
Tariq Engineer is excited by that shot. "sOOOOperb, he EASED into it," he says.
End of over 6 (5 runs) Pakistan 43/2 (RR: 7.16)
- Umar Akmal 4 (3b 1x4)
- Mohammad Hafeez 12 (14b 2x4)
- LL Tsotsobe 3-0-13-2
- M Morkel 2-0-15-0
Rusty comes on with one slip.
Theron to Mohammad Hafeez, 1 run, slowish delivery, back of a length outside off and it is run off the face square on the off side for one
Theron to Umar Akmal, no run, Umar Akmal is jumping around in his crease, prances out to off stump and then looks to get well forward even before Theron is in delivery stride. Ends up playing and missing to a back of length ball outside off
Theron to Umar Akmal, no run, and again, Akmal jumps across and fishes without looking like making contact..
Theron to Umar Akmal, no run, back of a length outside off, Umar gets behind the line this time and defends down the track
Theron to Umar Akmal, 2 runs, well-fielded at the third man fence by Bosman. Akmal gets beside the line this time and steers it well, it looked like it may have run across, but Bosman ran across quickly and put in the dive to stop it
Theron to Umar Akmal, no run, there is mackerel in the Red Sea, and Umar Akmal wants it. Only that can explain this compulsive fishing outside off
End of over 7 (3 runs) Pakistan 46/2 (RR: 6.57)
- Umar Akmal 6 (8b 1x4)
- Mohammad Hafeez 13 (15b 2x4)
- J Theron 1-0-3-0
- LL Tsotsobe 3-0-13-2
Botha brings himself on.
Botha to Mohammad Hafeez, no run, tossed up on off, Hafeez reaches out and plays it back to the bowler.
Botha to Mohammad Hafeez, OUT, Hafeez is gone, and very unfortunate too. He makes room on the off side by backing away before Botha delivered and made good contact, perhaps too good contact, as his carve over the off side ended in deep point's hands as he ran across to his right.
Mohammad Hafeez c Ingram b Botha 13 (26m 17b 2x4 0x6) SR: 76.47
Sheikh Zayed Stadium erupts as Boom Boom Afridi walks out.
Botha to Umar Akmal, no run, AB de Villiers has put it down. Lovely stuff from Botha, tosses it up outside off and Umar reaches out, defeated by the loop and gets a thick outside edge. AB can't hold on
Botha to Umar Akmal, no run, gets well behind that one and defends to the off side
Botha to Umar Akmal, 1 run, Umar Akmal drives out to the covers and that brings Afridi on strike
Botha to Shahid Afridi, SIX, Strike Rate of 600. Thank you very much. Afridi trots out, gets to the pitch and launches Botha over the long-on boundary that is pulled well in. Would not have mattered anyway. Afridi means business. As usual.
End of over 8 (7 runs) Pakistan 53/3 (RR: 6.62)
- Shahid Afridi 6 (1b 1x6)
- Umar Akmal 7 (11b 1x4)
- J Botha 1-0-7-1
- J Theron 1-0-3-0
Theron to Umar Akmal, 1 run, Akmal does the smart thing. Another single, this time runs it from outside off behind point, to give Afridi strike
Theron to Shahid Afridi, 2 runs, back of a length outside off, without much pace. Afridi waits for it and fiercely uncocks those wrists at the last moment to pick a couple to deep point
Theron to Shahid Afridi, FOUR, Bang. Short ball from Theron, may have been a slower ball, but Afridi picked it early and pulled it wide of mid on. A moment later the ball thudded into the wide long on boundary boards.
Theron to Shahid Afridi, 1 run, another slow off cutter, Afridi again spots it and works it off the back foot to midwicket for one
Akmal is standing outside his crease to counter the change of pace.
Theron to Umar Akmal, no run, back of a length outside off and coming in as Akmal reaches out and plays back to the bowler
Theron to Umar Akmal, 1 run, 111 kph outside off, and Akmal waits an eternity before managing to make contact with the glide and pick a single to deep third man
End of over 9 (9 runs) Pakistan 62/3 (RR: 6.88)
- Umar Akmal 9 (14b 1x4)
- Shahid Afridi 13 (4b 1x4 1x6)
- J Theron 2-0-12-0
- J Botha 1-0-7-1
Botha to Umar Akmal, 1 run, Botha drops it short and Akmal cuts it into the covers for one
Botha to Shahid Afridi, SIX, that's big, that's huge, that's as high as the Burj Dubai! Afridi chips out again and gets to the pitch. Once that happens, the rest is of only academic interest. It booms off the middle off the bat, takes off into the Abu Dhabi night and lands well behind long on
Botha to Shahid Afridi, SIX, mid-hit, but that does not matter. Afridi looked to cross bat this without getting to the pitch, ended up getting a top edge but it still happily carried over Bosman at long on. Well.
Botha to Shahid Afridi, OUT, finally, Afridi mistimes one well enough for it to land inside the field of play. Another cross batted heave, this time it goes off the bottom half of the bat and comes down around 10 feet inside the ropes at long on. Bosman pouches it and Abu Dhabi goes slient.
Shahid Afridi c Bosman b Botha 25 (8m 7b 1x4 3x6) SR: 357.14
That sparkler from Afridi ended too soon. Remember the World Twenty20 semi-final between these sides in 2009? Afridi's onslaught on Botha changed the complexion of that game, but ended too early this time.
Botha to Umar Akmal, 1 run, tossed up on off, reaches out and works it to the leg side for one.
Welcome back Misbah ul Haq.
Botha to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1 run, tossed up on the pads and Misbah clips it to midwicket to get going on his comeback to the side
End of over 10 (15 runs) Pakistan 77/4 (RR: 7.70)
- Misbah-ul-Haq 1 (1b)
- Umar Akmal 11 (16b 1x4)
- J Botha 2-0-22-2
- J Theron 2-0-12-0
Albie comes back on. The match is live on the new Ten Cricket channel in India, for fans writing in asking about the telecast.
JA Morkel to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, back of a length outside off, comes in as Misbah defends
JA Morkel to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1 run, over-pitched on the pads and Misbah plays it out to long on for one
JA Morkel to Umar Akmal, no run, Albie will prefer this - two right handers batting - back of a length outside off and defended
JA Morkel to Umar Akmal, no run, outside off this time and he looks to run it off the face but can't get it past point
JA Morkel to Umar Akmal, 1 run, over-pitched on the pads and Umar nearly falls over as he looks to squeeze it to the leg side. Ends up getting a single to mid on
JA Morkel to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1 run, gentle and wide outside off, Misbah reaches out and looks to square drive but can't get it past squarish third man
End of over 11 (3 runs) Pakistan 80/4 (RR: 7.27)
- Misbah-ul-Haq 3 (4b)
- Umar Akmal 12 (19b 1x4)
- JA Morkel 2-0-17-0
- J Botha 2-0-22-2
Botha to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, flighted on middle and leg, Misbah looks to work it with the spin, but can't beat short fine leg.
"Run rate's coming down boys," yells AB into the stump mic.
Botha to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, the floater, befuddles Misbah completely as he looks to cover the non-existent spin. Whizzes past the outside edge
Botha to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, this one turns in and he works it with the spin to the leg side
Botha to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run
Botha to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1 run, Botha is troubling Misbah here, another floater, and Misbah closes the face expecting spin, and gets a leading edge into the covers. Single taken though
Botha to Umar Akmal, 2 runs, Umar skips out, reaches the pitch and drives it with the spin to long off. Some good running helps them pick two, despite Tsotsobe's sterling effort on the boundary
End of over 12 (3 runs) Pakistan 83/4 (RR: 6.91)
- Umar Akmal 14 (20b 1x4)
- Misbah-ul-Haq 4 (9b)
- J Botha 3-0-25-2
- JA Morkel 2-0-17-0
JA Morkel to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, whoa, cat and mouse stuff. Misbah moves away to the leg side, Morkel sees him and drops a slow bouncer. Misbah waits for it and makes contact with a gentle forehand, but can't place it through the off side
JA Morkel to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, good bowling, nice variation with lengths there. Misbah is forced back into a hurried defensive shot down the track
JA Morkel to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1 run, fuller on off stump and this time Misbah manages to drive down the ground for one
JA Morkel to Umar Akmal, OUT, well, there are ways of getting out, and then there is this. Umar Akmal has gone here, spotting a slow bouncer from Albie early and swatting it ferociously. A foot on either side of Botha at midwicket inside the circle would have given him four, but he found the man with surgical precision.
Umar Akmal c Botha b JA Morkel 14 (30m 21b 1x4 0x6) SR: 66.66
Razzaq walks out. Another one of those monster hitters lurking in the lower middle order.
JA Morkel to Abdul Razzaq, no run, pitched up at 125 kph, Razzaq'a feet movement was so slow as he shaped to drive it to mid off. "Played away beautifully for nothing," says Ramiz Raja on air.
JA Morkel to Abdul Razzaq, 1 run, off cutter at 126 kph, Razzaq got a thick inside edge as he looked to drive. Single to long on
Good over there from Albie. His changes in length caused a lot of problems and earned him a wicket.
End of over 13 (2 runs) Pakistan 85/5 (RR: 6.53)
- Abdul Razzaq 1 (2b)
- Misbah-ul-Haq 5 (12b)
- JA Morkel 3-0-19-1
- J Botha 3-0-25-2
Botha to Abdul Razzaq, 1 wide, slides down the leg for a wide
Botha to Abdul Razzaq, 1 run, pulls it back a touch outside off and Razzaq taps into the covers for one
Botha to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, Misbah can't get it away, worked with the spin to midwicket
Botha to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1 run, shorter this time, slides down the pads and Misbah picks a single behind square on the leg side
Botha to Abdul Razzaq, 2 runs, Razzaq moves into an airy drive to a floater extremely late. Somehow gets it out to deep point for a couple
Botha to Abdul Razzaq, OUT, and gone. Razzaq'a languid movements do him in as Botha slips in another floater and Razzaq gropes belatedly inside the line, after getting half forward very late. Off stump is uprooted and Pakistan are disintegrating.
Abdul Razzaq b Botha 4 (3m 5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 80.00
Haider walks out to face.
Botha to Zulqarnain Haider, 1 run, tossed up outside off and Haider eases into a check drive square on the off side.
Botha finishes with 3 for 31. 18 of those came in three shots from Afridi. Good stuff otherwise from the SA captain.
End of over 14 (6 runs) Pakistan 91/6 (RR: 6.50)
- Zulqarnain Haider 1 (1b)
- Misbah-ul-Haq 6 (14b)
- J Botha 4-0-31-3
- JA Morkel 3-0-19-1
Morne returns to the attack.
M Morkel to Zulqarnain Haider, no run, big appeal for caught behind turned down by umpire Rauf. That was sliding down the leg and there was a woody noise as it passed the batsman. Did he get a nick?
M Morkel to Zulqarnain Haider, no run, on the money this time, Haider can't do much with it and works it back to the bowler.
M Morkel to Zulqarnain Haider, OUT, easy as they come. Haider's eyes lit up the moment he saw that there was some width. He got half forward into the square drive, but once again, he neither went decisively over the top, nor took the effort to keep it along the ground. Head high catch for a jumping Duminy at point. Gone.
Zulqarnain Haider c Duminy b M Morkel 1 (2m 4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 25.00
Umar Gul is the new man in.
M Morkel to Umar Gul, no run, Good stuff from Morne, gets disconcerting bounce from just back of a length and a nagging line, which forces Gul into a defensive fend.
M Morkel to Umar Gul, no run, Gul had no clue what to do with that bouncer. Should he go for an out of position pull? Should he take it on the body? Should he flick and hope he middles it? He went for option three, but ended getting a top edge that popped up and landed a second later, next to him. Could have gone anywhere
M Morkel to Umar Gul, no run, Clueless is Gul. Another short ball, whizzes a foot away from his body outside off as he makes up his mind on how to play it. By the time he had, the ball was in AB de Villiers' gloves
End of over 15 (wicket maiden) Pakistan 91/7 (RR: 6.06)
- Umar Gul 0 (3b)
- Misbah-ul-Haq 6 (14b)
- M Morkel 3-1-15-1
- J Botha 4-0-31-3
Tsotsobe comes on.
Tsotsobe to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1 run, back of a length outside off and worked off the face of the bat through point for one
Tsotsobe to Umar Gul, no run, extra pace from Morne, lack of pace from Tsotsobe - both are tormenting Gul equally. Pushes out uncertainly and gets as inside edge as it comes on slowly. Dribbles out to mid on
Tsotsobe to Umar Gul, OUT, well, that was an agonising stay for Gul and the good part for him is that it has come to an end. Back of a length and angling across him, he chose the pull - can't blame him, he had tried several other shots without success in that short stay - but sadly, he was very late on it. Top edge balloons up and lands in Smith's bucket hands on the square leg boundary
Umar Gul c Smith b Tsotsobe 0 (4m 5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Tsotsobe to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1 run, textbook punch from Misbah into the covers, all for a single
Tsotsobe to Saeed Ajmal, no run, fuller outside off and Ajmal can't quite time the drive into the off side
Tsotsobe to Saeed Ajmal, 1 run, back of a length outside off and Ajmal manages to late cut it to deep third man for one
Great spell from Tsotsobe comes to an end.
End of over 16 (3 runs) Pakistan 94/8 (RR: 5.87)
- Saeed Ajmal 1 (2b)
- Misbah-ul-Haq 8 (16b)
- LL Tsotsobe 4-0-16-3
- M Morkel 3-1-15-1
M Morkel to Saeed Ajmal, 1 run, Morne hits the deck again and pushes Ajmal back. But he does well to dab it into the off side for a single
M Morkel to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, angles into Misbah from outside off, and back of a length. It is the kind of approach that ensures the batsman cannot get a boundary without taking a risk. Misbah takes none.
M Morkel to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, short ball, gets really big on Misbah who gets into all kinds of problems as he looks to swat-pull and keep it down. It does not go anywhere.
M Morkel to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1 run, another short ball, another unconvincing swat pull to mid on. Single taken this time
M Morkel to Saeed Ajmal, no run, slower ball at 122 kph, so slow that Ajmal had played his pull shot and was looking at fine leg when the ball came and hit his shoulder
M Morkel to Saeed Ajmal, 1 run, makes reasonable contact this time with the pull and gets it over the infield for a single to the leg side
End of over 17 (3 runs) Pakistan 97/8 (RR: 5.70)
- Saeed Ajmal 3 (5b)
- Misbah-ul-Haq 9 (19b)
- M Morkel 4-1-18-1
- LL Tsotsobe 4-0-16-3
Theron, the death over specialist come on. These are the death overs really, since Pakistan's innings seems to have died.
Theron to Saeed Ajmal, 1 run, length ball outside off and Ajmal punches uppishly almost back into the bowler's hands. Theron doesn't reach soon enough and it is a single to long off
Theron to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1 run, Misbah is still not looking for boundaries. Gets a single with a non-violent flick to midwicket
Theron to Saeed Ajmal, OUT, Ajmal is run out. It is one of those days when NOTHING is going Pakistan's way. Length ball on off stump. Ajmal times the off drive rather well, but Theron on his follow through gets his hand on it and parries it into the covers. Ajmal is well out of the crease looking for a single when the throw from Miller in the covers comes in and breaks the stumps at the striker's end. Ajmal is around a foot short.
Saeed Ajmal run out 4 (8m 7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 57.14
Theron to Shoaib Akhtar, 3 runs, and finallt some respite. Tsotsobe misfields at cover as Shoaib drives the full toss, and ends up conceding three
Theron to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1 run, Pakistan have raised their slowest 100 in T20s, despite Afridi's 7-ball blitz for 25. Misbah takes another single into the leg side.
Theron to Shoaib Akhtar, no run, full toss on the pads and Shoaib defends. It was imperative that he survived that ball to give Misbah a shot at some late fireworks
End of over 18 (6 runs) Pakistan 103/9 (RR: 5.72)
- Shoaib Akhtar 3 (2b)
- Misbah-ul-Haq 11 (21b)
- J Theron 3-0-18-0
- M Morkel 4-1-18-1
JA Morkel to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, over-pitched outside off, Misbah looks to go down on a knee and cart it over the leg side, but he can't time it at all. He refuses the single to long on
JA Morkel to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, goes for the pull this time, but can't place it past midwicket. Another possible single denied.
JA Morkel to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, Well, Albie has completely decieved Misbah with his lines there. Misbah was prancing inside the crease, jumping across to off stump but Albit kept it even wider outside off and Misbah had to let it go
JA Morkel to Misbah-ul-Haq, FOUR, full-toss on off stump and finally some respite. Misbah dumps it over Morkel's head for a straight four. First bounday since the 10th over.
JA Morkel to Misbah-ul-Haq, FOUR, and again, this is poor from Albie, who delivers another full toss. Misbah does well to go down on a knee and get under it. Another loft over Morkel's head and four more.
JA Morkel to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1 run, well done by Misbah, who calmly nurdles a ball on the pads for a single to square leg. He retains strike for the final over
End of over 19 (9 runs) Pakistan 112/9 (RR: 5.89)
- Misbah-ul-Haq 20 (27b 2x4)
- Shoaib Akhtar 3 (2b)
- JA Morkel 4-0-28-1
- J Theron 3-0-18-0
Theron to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, attempted yorker, ends up as a half volley but the angle is perfect as it comes into Misbah and denies him a chance to drill off the back foot through the covers. He refuses the single
Theron to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, short ball, another mis-timed pull from Misbah and another single refused.
Theron to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, 125 kph and Misbah is still so late on the pull that Sriram Veera likens it to Alberto Berasategui's forehand. Straight to midwicket. No run.
Theron to Misbah-ul-Haq, SIX, Moral of the story - don't give Misbah full tosses. Theron delivers this knee high on leg stump and Misbah gets everything behind it as he blasts it over deep square leg for six.
Theron to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1 run, OUT, Akhtar is run out and Pakistan are all out. Misbah can't get much power on the off drive as he looks to play off the back foot. He tried to take two to retain strike. Miller, running in from long off, collected from inside the circle and threw down the stumps for the second time in the day. Shoaib was never going to make it at the bowler's end.
Shoaib Akhtar run out 3 (9m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 150.00
Tsotsobe: "Very happy with the return, I think I deserved this today. People say I swing the ball in, but I don't look to swing it in really. I rely on the cutters. Bowl them in the same are and look for cutters, that is it," says Tsotsobe who has mastered the art of deception - he brings balls into the right-hander without looking to do it. Well bowled today!
120 to win for South Africa. One would expect this to be an easy chase, but never discount Gul, Shoaib and co. Sriram Veera's updated bulletin is here. While we wait for the second innings, why don't you check out our new and improved Twitter handle. Sid Ravindran will bring you South Africa's chase.

ANKARA: Turkish Airlines has banned air hostesses from wearing brightly-colored lipsticks such as red or pink, a move which has sparked fierce debate as the government is accused of trying to Islamize the country, local media reported Wednesday.
According to the media reports numerous women posted pictures of themselves wearing bright red lipstick on social media websites to protest at the measure, part of a new aesthetics code for stewardesses working for Turkey's main airline.
TheNewsTribe correspondent from Istanbul added that the lipstick ban is the latest in a string of conservative measures adopted by the airline, which have sparked the ire of fiercely secular Turks.
"This measure is an act of perversion. How else could you describe it?" said Gursel Tekin, vice-president of the main opposition party CHP.
Turkish Airlines defended the ban, saying in a statement Tuesday that "simple make-up, immaculate and in pastel colors, is preferred for staff working in the service sector."
In recent months the booming airline – 49 percent state-owned – has also stopped serving alcohol on internal flights.
In February, images of proposed new uniforms for flight attendants bringing in ankle-length dresses and Ottoman-style fez caps were criticized as too conservative. The skirts of Turkish Airlines stewardesses once came in far above the knee.
However the more conservative new uniforms have not been adopted.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyin Erdogan's Justice and Development Party, in power for over a decade, is often accused of creeping efforts to coerce the country to be more conservative and pious.
Turkey is a fiercely secular state, despite being a majority Muslim country. Under Erdogan's rule headscarves – banned in public institutions – have become more visible in public places and alcohol bans are more widespread.

Sometimes, the IBD Big Cap 20 celebrates the return of a former market leader.
As experienced IBD readers know, this does not happen often.
IBD has studied the attributes of huge winners during bull markets over 27 market cycles. One trend that is very hard to deny: An old winner rarely goes on to set the pace in a new bull market.
Apple's (AAPL) latest struggles are a fresh example. During the market's uptrend in 2010, 2011 and 2012, the iPhone giant frequented IBD's weekly ranking of top-performing companies with market values north of $15 billion. However, with a 26 RS Rating today, falling profits for two straight quarters, and a 40 Composite Rating, it is hard to imagine the great innovator of Cupertino, Calif., will make a valiant return to the Big Cap 20 anytime soon.
Meanwhile, Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTSH) has made a quiet return. In the Sept. 10 edition of IBD, the IT (information technology) services titan cracked into the Big Cap 20 at No. 6. It currently has a market cap of $24 billion.
The stock made a 70% plunge in 2007 and 2008, yet rebounded to new highs after the market turned in March 2009. In 2011, the stock was a laggard, falling as much as 36% while the Nasdaq corrected 20.4%. Yet check out its mini-chart, and you can quickly begin to understand why the global firm has made an impressive comeback.
The Earnings Per Share Rating of 95 reflects outstanding earnings growth in both the long and short term. Annual EPS at Cognizant have risen from 35 cents in 2004 to $3.73 in 2012, up 966% over that period. Revenue ballooned from $587 million to $7.35 billion.
Equally impressive is how Cognizant has lifted its near-term profit and revenue. Since the first quarter of 2012, EPS has grown 16% to 24% vs. year-ago levels each quarter. Revenue has climbed 17% to 25%. Growth in mobile apps and technology has appeared to help bolster demand for Cognizant's services.
Return on equity of 26% last year helps explain why Cognizant gets a top-notch A for SMR Rating.
Cognizant pierced through upside resistance near 80 on Monday, rising 1.5%. The stock cleared a handle on a long cup at 76.18 last week in higher weekly trade.
Oil Plays
Elsewhere on the Big Cap 20, the energy sector has secured at least two spots in the list: EOG Resources (EOG) and Continental Resources (CLR).
The former has acted like a champion since busting through a 139.10 base-on-base entry. The latter is holding firmly above an 89.73 cup-with-handle buy point. Its recent sideways action is a hair short of a five-week flat base.
Monday's IBD special report updates the technology and trends fueling America's current oil and gas boom.

A woman held at gunpoint in her rural Canterbury home had only recently moved in before the attack by three armed men.
Police investigating the Tuesday night incident say information from the public has so far failed to provide any leads.
Detective Sergeant Jennifer Hooke said "a number of people'' had contacted police about the possible offenders "but none of these leads has proved positive''.
"This was an extremely distressing confrontation and especially frightening for a young woman who was alone in a house that she had just moved into. Fortunately she has a good support network around her to help her through this difficult time,'' Ms Hooke said.
The woman was confronted by the men who forced their way into her house, struck her in the face, and held her at gunpoint.
Police said the men were not known to the woman.
They asked for a person they believed lived at the home but the young woman did not know the person's whereabouts.
"One of the men held the woman at gunpoint while the other two ransacked her address. When they didn't find the person they were looking for, the group left in a vehicle that had been left idling outside the address, possibly indicating there may have been a fourth person involved.''
Forensic analysis is being completed on several items seized from he home during a scene examination.
Investigators have also confirmed the gun used by one of the intruders was a double-barreled shotgun.
Ms Hooke said police were attempting to locate a previous occupant of the address. That person, who has not been named, was believed to be outside the Ashburton area.
"Establishing the facts in this incident may take some time. The fact that it occurred at night, in a remote location and well away from neighbouring properties makes it a challenge,'' Ms Hooke said.
Anyone with information should call Ashburton Police on 03 307 8405 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Barcelona extended Henrik Larsson's contract for an extra year despite the Swedish striker missing the rest of the season due to a serious knee injury.
"Barcelona want the player to concentrate on recovering from the injury without having to worry about his contractual situation," the Catalan club said on its website on Tuesday.
"I have offered a contract renewal to Larsson so that he can put his mind at rest during this difficult time," Laporta told Catalan television station TV3.
The 33-year-old striker had told a Swedish newspaper that he is uncertain about his future after keyhole surgery revealed that he had torn the cruciate ligament in his left knee during his side's 3-0 victory over Real Madrid on Saturday.
"I can't say if I will continue or quit before I have all the cards on the table," Larsson told Helsingborg Dagblad on Tuesday.
"Right now everything is just so grim and tiring. There are a lot of thoughts moving through my head. I had really hoped it would not be so serious." Larsson, who has scored 32 goals in 82 appearances for Sweden, signed for Barcelona at the start of the season after spending seven highly successful years at Celtic.
The Swede is the fourth Barcelona player to be ruled out for the remainder of the season because of a serious injury.
Midfielder Thiago Motta and defenders Edmilson and Gabri suffered almost identical injuries during the last two months.

McTeague HTML version
Within a month after his departure from San Francisco, Marcus had "gone in on a
cattle ranch" in the Panamint Valley with an Englishman, an acquaintance of Mr.
Sieppe's. His headquarters were at a place called Modoc, at the lower extremity
of the valley, about fifty miles by trail to the south of Keeler.
His life was the life of a cowboy. He realized his former vision of himself, booted,
sombreroed, and revolvered, passing his days in the saddle and the better part of
his nights around the poker tables in Modoc's one saloon. To his intense
satisfaction he even involved himself in a gun fight that arose over a disputed
brand, with the result that two fingers of his left hand were shot away.
News from the outside world filtered slowly into the Panamint Valley, and the
telegraph had never been built beyond Keeler. At intervals one of the local
papers of Independence, the nearest large town, found its way into the cattle
camps on the ranges, and occasionally one of the Sunday editions of a
Sacramento journal, weeks old, was passed from hand to hand. Marcus ceased
to hear from the Sieppes. As for San Francisco, it was as far from him as was
London or Vienna.
One day, a fortnight after McTeague's flight from San Francisco, Marcus rode
into Modoc, to find a group of men gathered about a notice affixed to the outside
of the Wells-Fargo office. It was an offer of reward for the arrest and
apprehension of a murderer. The crime had been committed in San Francisco,
but the man wanted had been traced as far as the western portion of Inyo
County, and was believed at that time to be in hiding in either the Pinto or
Panamint hills, in the vicinity of Keeler.
Marcus reached Keeler on the afternoon of that same day. Half a mile from the
town his pony fell and died from exhaustion. Marcus did not stop even to remove
the saddle. He arrived in the barroom of the hotel in Keeler just after the posse
had been made up. The sheriff, who had come down from Independence that
morning, at first refused his offer of assistance. He had enough men already—
too many, in fact. The country travelled through would be hard, and it would be
difficult to find water for so many men and horses.
"But none of you fellers have ever seen um," vociferated Marcus, quivering with
excitement and wrath. "I know um well. I could pick um out in a million. I can
identify um, and you fellers can't. And I knew—I knew—good GOD! I knew that
girl—his wife—in Frisco. She's a cousin of mine, she is—she was—I thought
once of—This thing's a personal matter of mine—an' that money he got away
with, that five thousand, belongs to me by rights. Oh, never mind, I'm going
along. Do you hear?" he shouted, his fists raised, "I'm going along, I tell you.

Our Secondhand Lions
While at Eva's dance classes, I have learned the hard way to sit and listen to my iPod while reviewing flashcards for my upcoming (some day....) certification exam. Or at least I pretend to be studying. Either way this excludes me from the painful "mom" conversations going on around me and drowns them out. This has become a critical coping mechanism in my Monday mornings.
I'm not entirely sure where I stand on the whole concept of ghosts, but I like to keep an open mind. It could have all been coincidence and me just looking for something. Either way, in the span of 30 minutes, this happened:
1. I looked up at just the right moment to see a Schmidt's bread truck drive by. (My grandfather drove one for a living.)
2. I pulled a random flashcard about aortic insufficiency. (My grandmother had to have her aortic valve replaced. It was just over a year ago, about 10 months before her death.)
3. WQED tweeted about a special airing tonight about the TB Sanatorium in Cresson, where my grandmother once worked. She lived in Cresson (a teeny tiny town on top of a mountain) for more than 60 years. I'm pretty sure that in the couple of years I've been on Twitter, that I've never seen anyone tweet about it before.
This might have led to me looking like the slightly unstable mom who randomly starts crying for no reason. Oh well. If they think I'm crazy, they'll leave me alone, right?
Of course, this led to me texting my sister.
Her: That's a lot. What does it mean?
Me: Kinda feels like Mee-maw and Gramps are hanging out in LoCo today....
Her: Hanging out? That doesn't seem right. I'd go with "popping wheelies up & down Algonkian."
Me: LOVE. IT.
Her: Ending in a foot race of epic magnitude.
Her: I can see Mee-maw driving the bread truck, letting Gramps swing off the sides and the back. Both wearing aviator gear.
Me: I can only see that happening if Gramps agreed to take turns. We're talking about a woman who used the roof of her orphanage as a slide.
Her: Exactly. I honestly see them like "secondhand lions."
Me: I'm also guessing that Grandpa Paul is somewhere nearby, shaking his head at them.
Her: Sneaking out. Playing the drums.
Me: Writing a little blog post. This convo is going in it.
Her: Haha. That's just what they'd want.
Where ever you are, what ever it means, we miss you!
On a side note, I really need to start doing more crazy things if my legacy is ever going to hold up to that of my grandparents. I think my future grandchildren need some good stories to tell about me. The odds are pretty good that at least one will start with, "This one time at a hockey game...."

I came across your comment about the WQED Cresson San special. I was in that TV special as I was a 17 year old TB patient there in 1955 for 16 month before making a full recovering. I also have a website dedicated to the history of the san and stories and photos of patients and staff. I invite you to visit the website and view the video at the links below and to submit any info and photos you might have of your grandmother's time working at Cresson. The staff are remembered with great fondness by the patients for all their work in helping us recover.

The Isaac Regional Council in Queensland's Bowen Basin says the money from the State Government's royalties for regions projects should be invested back into the regions from where it was taken.
The State Government has announced the Belyando Estate Bridge and the Dysart Medical Centre as two of the short-listed projects for the funding.
Isaac Mayor Anne Baker says the Isaac council's applications should be given priority.
"The Isaac Regional Council is the engine room of the royalties money that goes to the state," she said.
"We're very aware of the money that comes out of this region and the money that comes back into it." She says the region has 29 of the 56 active coal mines.
"We produce a very high percentage of the coal royalties for the Government," she said.
"Our view of the world is that we should be right at the top of the list for the green light on these applications."

whats the best to get,ive never owned a black car so all advice thankfully recieved,ive got a meguiars clay kit to get started
whats the best to get,ive never owned a black car so all advice thankfully recieved,ive got a meguiars clay kit to get started
a washing mit not a sponge, two clear buckets,some decent shampoo.
thanks for that,what about polish wax etc
plenty of quality polishes and waxes, i use megs crystal polish and autosmart carnauba wax. gives a great finish with a bit of elbow grease!
Hi Tony,
Depends how carried away you wanna get
Megs clay kit is a good start as said you should also get yourself a nice lambs wool wash mitt, decent shampoo, couple of buckets and a nice dryning towel.
A couple of great glazes/polishes for black paintwork are chemical guys EZ creme or black hole both do a great job of hiding hairline scratches etc and lay down the perfect foundation for application of your wax choice.
For a wax you cant go far wrong with colinite 476s fairly cheap compared to most waxes and out punches anything in its price bracket in terms of durabilty
A foam lance would be a great asset as well but again depends how much £ you want to spend.
Hope that helps
Oh monty1,
You'll be nipping out cleaning it all the time Black is awesome when clean and $hite when dirty, I hope ( like me ) you enjoy washing your car
I've heard of chemical guys but who manufacture "black hole"?
I've just got a hold of some Dodo Juice Blue Velvet, yet to give it a whirl, just curious as to your professional opinion on this wax for black cars ?
what does it cost to get your car detailed i think mines gonna need it,theres quite a few swirl marks
In all honesty I've not used black velvet so cant give you an opinion other than it is a wax for dark coloured cars and dodo products are great I use a fair bit of there range
SlowTech (02-10-2009)
nattys blue on top of black hole brings the car up a treat, i find 2 layers of black hole then two of nattys really gives a deep wet shine!

Red-yeast cholesterol fighters can be worthless
Manufacturers don't report quantities of active ingredients, which can be next to nil, or the presence of fungal toxins
By Janet Raloff, 11:45 AM October 26, 2010
A little more than a decade ago, a federal court ruled that over-the-counter red-yeast rice products were not drugs — despite the fact that these products contained naturally occurring chemicals that were functionally indistinguishable from lovastatin, a cholesterol-lowering prescription drug. And so a major dietary supplement industry was born. By 2008, Americans were spending $20 million a year on red-yeast rice products, many on their doctor's recommendation (and perhaps even via their doc...

Ericsson's Surprise Nosedive
Was it bad luck, bad management, or a warning sign of deeper problems lurking in the $250 billion telecommunications equipment business? Investors didn't know the answer, so on Oct. 16 when mobile networks giant Ericsson (ERIC) warned of lower-than-expected third-quarter revenue growth and a sharp decline in profits, they took the path of least resistance and pressed the sell button. And pressed it again. And again.
By midday, Ericsson stock had plummeted more than 29%—the biggest intraday drop ever recorded for the century-old Swedish company—taking shares down to levels last seen in 2004. In a blink, some $17.5 billion in market capitalization had vaporized, though by the end of the day, prices had recovered somewhat to a loss of 23.8%. Ericsson's swoon also dragged down the Stockholm exchange, which closed off 3.1%, and other stocks and exchanges across Europe.
An Abrupt About-Face
Overblown market reaction or not, Ericsson's warning struck a nerve among investors scanning for signs of economic slowdown in the wake of the U.S. subprime loan crisis and its late-summer spread to global capital markets. The sudden reversal of fortune for the strongest player in telecom gear suggested that operators might be paring back capital spending because of slowing demand or the rising costs of financing.
Even if a broader slowdown isn't under way, investors were rattled by the rapid change of tone from Ericsson's executives. Just six weeks ago, the company met analysts in London and delivered a bullish forecast. "Confidence in management has been shattered," says analyst Richard Windsor with Nomura Securities in London. "They stood up two weeks before the end of the quarter and said that everything was okay. They should have known by then."
Ericsson had been scheduled to announce third-quarter earnings on Oct. 25, and analysts were expecting roughly 10% year-on-year revenue growth with steady operating margins of around 20%. Instead, less than 24 hours after final quarterly figures were compiled, the company held an emergency board meeting and then disclosed that sales would be up just 6%, to 43.5 billion Swedish kroner ($6.77 billion), short of the $7.07 billion forecast by the Street.
Poor Outlook on Future Margins
That doesn't sound so bad, but the real problem lay deeper in the numbers: Quarterly profits were down 36% from last year, to 4 billion Swedish kroner ($623 million), about 37% below consensus expectations. Worst of all, operating margins plunged from 21.2% last year to just 12.9% in the quarter, and Ericsson's fourth-quarter guidance suggested future margins in the "mid-teens," far below what analysts were banking on. The company also projects slightly lower-than-expected fourth-quarter revenue growth.
Ericsson blamed the shortfall on an unexpected decline in sales for its high-margin software and network-upgrade businesses. The company relies on these more profitable sales to offset lower margins in new network construction, especially in the developing world, where it has been discounting heavily to nab business away from rivals Alcatel-Lucent (ALU), Nokia Siemens Networks (NOK) (SI), and Nortel Networks (NT).
Specifically, the company says it was caught off guard by delays late in the quarter to two key upgrade contracts, one with AT&T (T) in the U.S. and the other with Hutchison 3G in Britain. In a hastily called Stockholm press conference, Ericsson Chief Executive Carl-Henric Svanberg said he didn't consider the contracts at risk, but he didn't elaborate on the reasons for the postponements.
A Risky Bid for Growth
Ericsson's vulnerability to the loss of two contracts in the quarter highlights the risky game it's playing with profits, analysts say. In a bid to win new accounts in the developing world away from competitors, Ericsson has been offering better terms than its weaker rivals can afford to match. The company readily admits to this land-grab strategy. "Ericsson's networks business continues to develop most rapidly in regions where new network rollouts and break-in contracts are predominant," it said in a statement. "This is where competition is intense, as it builds footprint for long-term profitable growth."
Analysts also understood the game—and generally applauded it as long as higher-margin upgrade sales and service contracts back in the developed world kept overall profits in balance. But the delay of the AT&T and Hutchison deals lays bare just how much lower margins really are for sales in the developing world. "Ericsson actually did quite well in sales there, better than expected," says analyst Steven Hartley with telecom consultancy Ovum in London. "That's why the revenue miss was so much less than the profit miss. But the margins in emerging markets are a hell of a lot slimmer."
Despite the Oct. 16 shock, some analysts remain relatively sanguine about Ericsson's prospects. Even at 12.1%, its margins are still better than those of its rivals, notes Nomura's Windsor. And the surge in lower-margin network installations—while it hurt Ericsson's profitability—is a sign of continued strong demand for mobile infrastructure around the world. Brokerage RBC Capital Markets (RY.TO) circulated revised forecasts on Oct. 16 showing Ericsson revenues growing 4.3% this year and 7% in 2008.
Still, Svanberg conceded Oct. 16 that Ericsson may now have to adjust its strategy. The company has managed to increase its market share in the past few years from 35% to 45%, he says, which has allowed it to reestablish "scale advantage" after years of devastating downsizing in the wake of the dot-com and telecom crashes. Now with its footprint established around the globe, Svanberg says Ericsson "will shift…focus slightly and capitalize on our market-share gains."
Rivals Get a Breather
That's a prettier picture than the prospects for Alcatel-Lucent, which issued its third profit warning this year (BusinessWeek.com, 9/28/07) on Sept. 28 as its wireless equipment business craters under assault from Ericsson. And though No. 2 player Nokia Siemens Networks is faring somewhat better, continued problems at the joint venture are raising questions about its future (BusinessWeek.com, 10/4/07) including the possibility that Siemens might pull out. Alcatel-Lucent shares fell 4.5% in Paris on Oct. 16, and Nokia was down 3.2% in Helsinki.
The biggest risk for Ericsson is that its new world of lower margins will persist into the foreseeable future—a possibility raised by some analysts on Oct. 16. Even if carriers in the developing world continue building out mobile networks to satisfy burgeoning demand, a slowdown in the developed world would wreak havoc on Ericsson's profits.
Ovum analyst Hartley says he imagined on Oct. 16 that beleaguered Alcatel-Lucent CEO Patricia Russo "might have a sly smile on her lips today." The sudden misfortunes of her fiercest rival take some of the pressure off Russo—and also validate her claim that Alcatel-Lucent's problems trace in part to sluggish orders from carriers in the U.S. and Europe.
But in the cutthroat world of telecom equipment, nobody has the luxury of schadenfreude for long. Ericsson's problems today will be shared by everybody in the industry tomorrow, and the only real question is how deep they go and how long they'll last.

CLIFTON — A Clifton High School junior has been charged with sexual assault and criminal coercion of another student on two separate occasions in one of the school's stairwells.
The first sexual assault took place during the first week of January while the second assault took place sometime last week, said Police detective Sgt. Robert Bracken. Police are not releasing all details of the sexual assaults because of the ongoing investigation, Bracken said. He said the sex assault was not an attack, rather the girl was coerced and both individuals agreed to meet at the location on both occasions. Bracken would not release any information on the source of the coercion, but said the two met via Facebook in the summer.
The victim, a 16-year-old sophomore did not report the first sexual assault, but did tell a family member after the second assault, Bracken said, adding the family member reported it to police. Bracken said police learned of the incident this past weekend and began "an immediate investigation."
The 17-year-old junior male student was arrested on Sunday night and charged with sexual assault and criminal coercion for the first incident and sexual assault, criminal coercion, criminal sexual contact and criminal restraint for the second incident, according to police reports.
School officials were notified of the assaults by police officers earlier this week.
Superintendent of schools Richard Tardalo said neither incident was ever reported to any district official.
"We're not sure of the exact time of day or location that the incident took place," he said. "The school was not in the loop but we're utilizing the police report to determine any necessary action."
Tardalo said administrators are aware of the accused individual's name and that the high school will take appropriate action after the district is in contact with the parents of the two students.
Bracken said this was not an "attack" where he grabbed her in the hallway, but prearranged between the two parties as a result of the coercion.
The suspect, whose name has not been released by police because he is a juvenile, is being detained in the Essex County Juvenile Detention Shelter.
The sexual assaults took place in a stairwell of the East Wing on the first floor, the same stairwell where another female student was reported sexually assaulted last May. School officials learned of that incident in June 2011 after the victim confided in a friend. In the 2011 incident, two male students allegedly grabbed and dragged a female student to a stairwell where she was sexually assaulted. Clifton High School Principal Michael McGinley, who was hired following the 2011 incident, established additional hall patrols once he took over "to ensure a safe environment," according to Tardalo.
"The safety and security of the students is always our priority," he added. "Each year, classroom lessons and [local TV] broadcasts urge students to come forward early and report any bullying or harassment they witness."
Clifton school board president Jim Daley said additional security cameras, which were planned for implementation following the June assault as well as to deter truancy, have not yet been installed. A security camera system bid was approved by the Board's facilities committee and discussed during last week's board of education meeting.
Tardalo said the process has taken additional time because the district has chosen to install a digital security camera system which allows police to access and view recorded footage.
The district remains in close communication with the police, Daley said on Tuesday.
