Mule images were leaked around late October. http://www.autoblog.com/2012/10/31/g...-ostentatious/
Would be nice to start a new section for the fourth gen.
Looks like a Ford to me, big blue oval on the grill .
That's probably a decoy oval emblem to make us think "ford"Quote:

Unless of course they decide to delay the Escalade for a year after the Tahoe/Yukon for some reason, which seems highly unlikely ... especially since:
Originally, estimates put the launch of the new full-sized SUV line somewhere in the second half of 2013, beginning with the all-new Chevy Suburban/Tahoe and GMC Yukon/Yukon XL models, with the Escalade following a few months after. This also means that GM may not officially reveal them for quite some time. http://gmauthority.com/blog/2012/12/...r-2014-launch/
Ok stop showing off. Lol. More power to ya !Quote:

So at least another 14-15 months.
Original production date was jan 27-2014 but since the production of the Tahoe and Yukon is getting delayed few months from November 2013 to jan-feb of 2014.
For sure they won't make escalade before Tahoe so more likely production date is march or April.
This is what it might look like with xts style grill.
Gm inside news
Thanks for the linkie.
So it's interesting ... it does indeed look like they pushed everything back a few months. I wonder why because I was under the impression that the Arlington plant's retooling was on schedule. Not sure what to make of this info.
Your welcome.
I think they are waiting for 8 speed transmission.
I read that it's gonna be ready first few months of the 14.
As far as weight reduction goes I had big hopes but i was told by a member at gm insidenews that weight savings would be around 200 pound or so.
I think tooling is done at Arlington but it doesn't cause problem to keep on building current truck.
isn't GM showing it at some car show later this month?
I think only new caddy will be plug in electric car converj at Detroit show.Quote:

Simon's shutout was historic for Cougs
Fri., April 12, 2013, midnight
Scott Simon's best start of the season was also one of the better outings, statistically, for a Washington State pitcher in quite a while.
WSU's Sunday starter was named Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week on Monday after allowing just five hits in a complete-game shutout against the Utes on Sunday, allowing the Cougars to salvage a 5-0 win and leave Salt Lake City without getting swept.
"I felt good before the game. I felt really good and strong," said Simon, a third-year sophomore. "I was fortunate enough to have all my good stuff – fastball's velocity was there, off-speed was good and consistent, and that's something that I've been a little bit inconsistent with this year.
"I was just fortunate enough to have my good stuff that day, (we) played good defense and everything worked out for me that day."
Simon's seven strikeouts in that game were a career-high, and he became the first WSU pitcher to throw a shutout since Wade Parrish did it against San Jose State in 1999. And Aaron Sele was the last Cougar to throw a nine-inning shutout in a conference road game when he did it at Washington in 1995.
"He pitched outstanding for us," coach Donnie Marbut told reporters. "I haven't seen him pitch that well in a long time."
The right-hander is 3-0 with a 3.27 ERA in eight starts this season. A herniated disk in his back, along with bone spurs in his elbow, combined to slow Simon early in the season.
He still managed to take the mound for WSU during its season-opening series at Western Carolina, and has yet to miss a start. The back issue still bugs him from time to time, Simon said, "but once I get going, it goes away. Just an injury you've kind of got to deal with."
If not for the early health problems, results like Sunday's could have been more likely from the beginning of the season.
"I think I started off a little bit slow," Simon said. "I've been getting stronger and more consistent throughout. I feel like early on I could have been better than I was, but it's a work in progress, I guess."
And, he hopes, a starting point for something better.
"I still don't think you've seen the best of what Scott Simon has to offer," Marbut said.
"Once you kind of set that bar, that's what you expect every time you go out," Simon said. "So next time, I have to strive to be better than that."
The Cougars (17-13, 4-5 Pac-12) are striving to be better than they were last weekend when they lost two of three games to Utah, winning behind Simon's effort on Sunday in a game Marbut termed afterward as a must-win.
WSU begins a three-game series against Arizona (21-11, 6-6) on Friday at Bailey- Brayton Field. The Wildcats, one year removed from a national championship, have won six consecutive games after losing their first six conference games.
WSU will likely be without third baseman Nick Tanielu, who sprained his knee last weekend and is doubtful to play against Arizona. Tanielu leads the team with a .402 batting average.
The Bulldogs had to wait an extra day to finish their three-game series against Portland – rain wiped out their scheduled Sunday game – but it was worth it. Gonzaga (20-10-1 overall) swept the Pilots for the third consecutive season and improved to 8-4 in West Coast Conference play. That's good for first place at the moment, though Pepperdine, at 6-3, has the same .667 winning percentage. … Gonzaga opens a three-game series at home today against Saint Mary's (11-22, 2-4).
The losing streak was snapped with a 15-12 win over Lewis & Clark last Saturday, but the Pirates dropped the final two games of that series to fall to 10-17-1 overall and 5-10 in Northwest Conference play.

Yes, you may have a case but should speak with an attorney right away so the attorney can understake an analysis of your case. Most personal injury attorneys offer free consultations. J.D. Smith (206) 588-8529See question
I was hit by a car while walking. My MRI shows a torn maniscus and privouse degenerative arthritis. But I didnt know it and had no pain or mobility issues. I Tried physical therapy and the shots for pain with no help. Know my doctor says the only ...
I am not licensed in NH and I would suggest you contact a lawyer licensed in NH right away. This is a common problem for injury victims. You are not likely to get the insurance company to agree with you and pay the appropriate amount for a knee replacement. A good lawyer may be able to use the law in your favor. Most jurisdictions have jury instructions that essentially say a defendant is response for lighting up a preexisting condition. Let me reiterate my suggestion that you contact a NH licensed attorney right away. Most attorneys will provide you with a free consultation.See question
i lost control and hit a light pole in a freinda truck then left the scene.the truck is totaled and i dont know if they have my name to press charges what should i do
Consult a lawyer immediately. Many attorneys will provide a private and free consultation. The owner of the light pole (usually a city or county) will likely want the costs of repairs to the light police. Leaving the scene of an accident is also a crime. It is for this reason, you should consider consulting a lawyer immediately.See question
What are the consequences of my actions?
I agree with the other answers but would like to a few things. I believe you are using the wrong wording by saying "cut off" if you were speeding eastbound and the other driver was heading south. You may have a comparative fault situation, meaning both drivers bear some liability in causing the collision. It is fairly common for drivers to travel 5 miles or so above the speed limit but 70 in a 45 seems excessive. I agree you should consult a lawyer immediately. I know some folks may ask why do the lawyers always say consult a lawyer when you are asking a question here. First, by communicating in this forum there is no attorney-client relationship formed, there is no privacy and all of the facts have not been made available to allow a lawyer to digest the facts, analyze the law and then render sound legal advice. So consult a lawyer by calling and either having a telephone consultation or even better, an in person meeting.See question

I agree with the other answers but I must caution, anytime you are dealing with insurance you must always read the policy. Oftentimes the first response you get from an insurance adjuster is not right. They are human and have different levels of experience. You may ask to get a supervisor/manager involved to make sure everything is being done according to the policy and existing law.See question
The driver hit the back door on the driver's side. He does not have insurance. He was ticketed and has gone to court. is there any way I can get him to pay to have my car repaired. The estimates range from 1300 to 1500 dollars.
Before heading into legal action, you may want to consider speaking with the other driver. Show him copies of the estimates and your other expenses and ask him if he will voluntarily pay them. Given the circumstances, he would likely lose in court so it makes sense for him to pay up. Going to court will only make the amount higher so paying now makes the most sense.See question
I have liability insurance only. One car was pulling out of a parking space, struck another vehicle, than that vehicle struck mine. This is in Chicago, who is responsibe for my car?
I agree with the other answers but would add that when making a claim with your company you will likely have to pay your deductible. Most insurance polices provide that your company has the discretion to pursue the other driver. If they do and they are successful, they will pay your deductible back. If they chose not to pursue the other driver (sometimes they do this because it may cost them more than the amount in question) they will reimburse your deductible. I might also caution assuming the 2nd vehicle does not have some responsibility. Before automatically letting them off the hook, you should consider whether they were speeding; whether they failed to keep a proper lookout; and/or whether they failed to avoid the collision. Good luck.See question
i'll go to court for a car accident law suit, if I am consider at fault, what documents should I present to the case to demonstrate my assets
You are getting ahead of yourself. If you are facing a lawsuit, consider retaining a lawyer immediately. If you were insured, most insurance policies will require your insurance company to pay for a lawyer for you. You are entitled a trial on the merits of the case before your assets are relevant. If there is a judgment entered against you, then you will need to worry about demonstrating your assets. Good luck.See question

I would suggest you first not jump the gun, speak with the owner or manager of the first shop. Explain what happened and talk through your concerns. Just becasue someone at the second shop says so, doesn't mean they are right about the intentions of the gloves being left in the filter. The reality is the gloves were not sucked through the engine, so be thankful for that. If the gloves caused the need for repairs, consider asking for a refund. If you are not satisfied with the reaction from the first shop, consider making complaints with the Better Business Bureau. if that is not sufficient consider taking the matter to a Small Claims Court. Good luck.See question
My tire blew and took the right fender off with it. it was no fault of my own and the police oficer that filed the incident report had told my brother (who was driving at the time) that it looked like he had a lawsuit. i have pictures and a paper ...
More information in needed to adequately answer your question. Before getting into those questions, let me first point out that there are many causes of blow outs, most of which do not provide a basis for filing a lawsuit.
Was anyone injured? If not, the expenses of litigation may make it prohibitive to pursue. How old were the tires? Has there been a recall of the tire in question? Had you had any work done on your tires recently?
Hopefully you preserved the tire so an expert can inspect it and offer an opinion on the cause of the blow out. If not, pursuing a case may be quite difficult. Remember, the person bringing a lawsuit has the burden of proof. I hope no one was hurt and I wish you well. J.D. SmithSee question

Together alone: Hanson brothers (from left) Isaac, Taylor and Zac.
As kids they were pop idols. But do the Hanson brothers cut it as adults, asks Bernard Zuel.
You never want to be a trivia question in the "whatever happened to" category. Nor do you want to remain fixed in pop-culture aspic as a trio of angelic boys barely out of primary school and looking like you had been raised on curds, whey and lots of Motown. But you don't always have much choice.
Not when your first hit is a slice of incalculably-brilliant pop called MMMBop and you are three teenage brothers who sing, play, write and, on top of that, look like beautiful blond boys from central casting.
But that was then - 1997, the year Hanson were everywhere and not just with a one-off single but an album, Middle of Nowhere, that sold multiple millions to people who discovered the Hanson brothers had genuine talent and were not some made-for-TV machine. They were pop stars, yes, but not Popstars.
Then they disappeared from the light. Oh, they made a second album a few years later that did moderately well, and they kept touring, but outside of a seriously devoted fan base who dot the internet like feverish fifth columnists, the world didn't know. And didn't care.
Splitting from the record company seemed the final act. For this Oklahoma trio, a future beckoned only a step or two above the church-socials and spring-fairs circuit.
Yet it didn't happen. Today the Hanson brothers, Isaac, Taylor and Zac, are 23, 21 and 19 respectively. They've got their own label, a new album (Underneath, out on October 19) and have spent the past year touring the songs from this album acoustically, reminding anyone who'd forgotten that they are musicians, too.
The songs are a mix of hearty American pop/rock, some country flourishes and a bit of the soul that always excited them. It may not be genius but it's solidly good mainstream fare.
Oh yes, they're still damn good-looking. Particularly keyboard-playing and lead-vocalising Taylor, who is on the phone from his home town of Tulsa, though he lives in New York. He opens the conversation with the line a legion of fans would die to hear: "I'm at your beck and call."
It's funny. It's also the last time Hanson says anything even vaguely unexpected. Earnest, articulate and very carefully worded, his answers stay on message no matter where the questions lead. Not that he's robotic - he's polite and engaging - but, as befits a veteran performer of more than a decade who is now a small-business operator, there's no room for frivolity.
Naturally, he still enjoys touring, he tells me. "That's one of the great things we get to do: those two hours each night." But what about the other 22 hours? As Tim Freedman said recently, most artists choose this career so as to avoid the 9-to-5 grind and leave a lot of those jobs to managers, accountants - anyone else really. But if you're managing yourselves and running your own label, you're always on the job.
"Whatever I'm doing, if I can do music then at least I'm one step beyond the grind. And if I can make a career out of it then I will always be better off than anything else I could have done," Hanson says.
"But I think artists who see it as a grind to think about the business side, it's really lazy on their part. Our job is to take the initiative. These are my fans, my music, something I believe in, and I'm going to be the one to make the decisions. If it's number crunching then that's what it is."
The Hansons are emblematic of a shift in the music industry's power centre away from a monolithic record company to artists who have recognised that, as long as becoming this year's pop behemoth isn't on their agenda, they can do better for themselves by doing it themselves.
"It's got to get back to asking: what is it we're trying to do?" Hanson offers. "We're trying to connect with people, get them to come to live shows, get them to buy records by making that connection."
That reminds me about what former Grateful Dead figure Bob Weir once said: "Hanson are the real thing. It'll be interesting to see if the youth of America want music that speaks to them and not for them, or if they want candy-coated horseshit."
The inexorable rise of Australian Idol-like instant stars may suggest it was the candy-coated option that was taken. But maybe Hanson will yet do it the old-fashioned way.
"The fans who have always been there have grown up with us, their average age is 20 years old. You start by reaching the fans you have and then begin to rekindle the interest with the others."

Slow Couple of Days Here at the Ol' Blog
May 19, 2011 at 8:02 PM Leave a comment
It was slow here at the ol' blog today and it will be tomorrow too because I'm volunteering extra time at the food bank
sorting food brought in by the Letter Carriers' Food Drive.
The preliminary reports are that in the Boulder area (the food drive was a nationwide effort), the haul is down by about half over last year.
Understandable but depressing.

Last night, Computer Magic played a stellar electro-pop set at the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan as part of MoMA Nights, a weekly summer concert series that features "creative women who are making their mark on today's music scene." Computer Magic is the solo project of Danielle "Danz" Johnson who composes spacey sci-fi soundscapes layered with vocals that are as fuzzy and soft as kitten mittens. Last night she performed alongside her beau Chris Egan (bass synthesizer) and Ignacio Rivas Bixio (drums). Museum guests and fans sat primly in their seats as children frolicked around the sculpture garden, waiting for the show to begin.
The set started at sundown with the trippy, melancholy song Ex-Believer, released in 2011 on a Kitsuné Maison compilation. The performance captivated the crowd, and soon enough the whimsical synth effects inspired kids and grownups alike to bop their heads to the beat and dance around the garden. Danz was characteristically sweet, and took a moment in between songs to thank everyone and announced, "I'm very excited to be playing the MoMA."
Computer Magic premiered several dreamy new songs during the show, including the bubbly Be Fair, Secret and Spaces. Danz is currently working on her first full-length record with producer Claudius Mittendorfer who has recently worked with Neon Indian, Temples and Kaiser Chiefs.
The set closed with Running, a lyrically nostalgic track ("Can you find me/In the dark/I haven't got anywhere to go/Can we go back to the start") that was visually enhanced by calligraphy artist Maaya Wakasugi joining Computer Magic on stage to paint words in English and Japanese on several large panels.

Submitted to: Journal of Invertebrate Pathology
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 5/7/2007
Publication Date: 10/1/2007
Citation: Ugine, T.A., Wraight, S.P., Sanderson, J.P. 2007. A tritrophic effect of host plant on susceptibility of the western flower thrips to the entomopathogenic fungus beauveria bassiana. Journal of Invertebrate Pathology. 96:162-172. Interpretive Summary: Western flower thrips are important pests of many greenhouse crops. Growers generally rely on chemical insecticides for control, but there is interest in developing safer, sustainable, alternatives. Use of insect pathogenic fungi is one alternative; however effectiveness of these biocontrol agents is limited by a number of factors. Results from our previous studies suggested that host plant type was one factor determining thrips' susceptibility (we observed poor thrips control on impatiens). Host plant effects have been reported for other pest-pathogen systems; these have usually been attributed to plant chemicals that inhibit the fungi. In this study, our objective was to determine if thrips' susceptibility was affected by impatiens and to determine the cause of any observed effect. Thrips were exposed to Beauveria bassiana-treated bean vs. impatiens leaves and then transferred to clean bean or impatiens leaves and monitored for mortality. Treated thrips were examined microscopically to determine numbers of fungal spores attached to their bodies. Spores were exposed to intact and macerated impatiens leaves and checked for viability. Greater levels of infection were observed among thrips exposed to treated bean compared to impatiens; however, there was no evidence of fungal inhibition by plant chemicals, and the differences in thrips mortality were accounted for by the observation that thrips picked up 75% more spores from bean leaves than from impatiens leaves. This unexpected result indicates that host plant is an important factor in assessing effectiveness of fungi, and suggests that taking steps to improve delivery of spores to the target pest could overcome negative host plant effects in some cases.
Technical Abstract: Adult female western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) were exposed 12–24 h to bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and impatiens (Impatiens wallerana) leaf disks treated with Beauveria bassiana conidia and then transferred to clean bean or impatiens at various times post-treatment. Significantly greater levels of fungal infection were observed when thrips were treated on bean versus impatiens, but exposure to impatiens following treatment had no effect on fungal infection (percent mortality). This result, combined with observations of no inhibition of germination of conidia exposed to intact or macerated impatiens foliage, indicated that the negative effect of the impatiens host plant was not due to plant chemical compounds (antibiosis). Further observations revealed that insects acquired (picked-up) 75% more conidia from treated bean disks than from treated impatiens disks. This difference in dose acquisition was determined to account for the observed difference in percent mortality (15%) following treatment on the two host plants. Median lethal doses (LD50) of B. bassiana were not significantly different on the two host plants, but median lethal concentrations were nearly 7-fold greater on impatiens. This difference was explained by disproportionate rates of conidial acquisition at measured rates of conidial deposition (an inverse relationship was observed between application rate expressed as conidia/mm2 and the number of conidia acquired. The mechanism underlying the differential rates of conidial acquisition from bean versus impatiens was not determined.

Adoption means a lot to me. A lot.
My mother, Venice Witch lived a life of pain and suffering. She was bred to breed. She was forced to breed with a money-making male greyhound when she was young. She became pregant, expanded, and had her puppies in a cage big enough for her to lay down in. She could not completely stand up. She couldn't turn around. She sat in her cage all day-every day.
Then she had me, Phrantik. (aka Abby. Phrantik is my racing name) When I entered this world I was scared. I heard dogs screaming in big metal cages stacked on top of each other. I was scared! I looked to my mother for protection, but I saw pain in her eyes. Where was I? I was at a greyhound farm. This was where I would be trained to become a racing greyhound.
I woke in a cramed, hard metal cage every morning. I had no idea that somewhere out there, dogs where waking up in a warm bed next to loving humans.
Then, the trainers yanked at my collar and threw my in a pin where I was supossed to learn how to race. Why should I race, for them? They barely take care of me?! I'm just a puppy! I don't want to race! I want to live a life of comfort and love!
Then, the worst thing happened, I'll never forget it. I had apprently refused to run. They took a knife and cut the end of my tail off, to teach me a lesson.
3 months later I was shipped to actual racetrack. After one race, they decided I was too slow and was a waste of their money. I would be killed in a week. 2 days later, I met the best people I will ever meet for the rest of my life. They came to visit me, I stood right by their side, because I never wanted to leave! They looked into my eyes,t alked to my trainer for awhile and decided to visit again in a couple days. When they came back to visit, they decided they were going to adopt me!
The next week, they took my home and I would never have to go back to the racetrack! Because I had never lived in a house, I didn't know what it felt like to be pet, how to walk through the door, what windows are and that you can't walk through them, how to go up stairs, and how to play with toys. It took me awhile to adjust, but I'm glad I did!
I'm one of the lucky greyhounds.
Of the 838,426 greyhounds whelped from 1986 to 2006, 652,205 were individually registered, a difference of 186,221 young dogs eliminated from the system before reaching racing age.
28,000; alive on breed-ing and training farms: 28,000; and greyhounds that have been adopted: 179,000, indicates that more than 600,000 greyhounds have died in the 21-year period from 1986-2006.
Greyhounds are not always killed humanly:
– Euthansia
– Sale / donation to medical research
– Mass euthansia
– Abandonment (often muzzled)
– Gunshot
– Sale to racing interests in 3rd world countries
– Starvation
– Electrocution
– Bludgeoning
I have focused one breed. Think of all the other breeds that are suffereing and living in animal shelters.
Adoption is the BEST way to go! Don't consider anything else! Opt to Adopt!
-Abby (aka Phrantik)
Woof Woof! I have a new partner in crime! His name is Onyx and he's a black greyhound! Mommy is helping our greyhound adoption group by signing up for vacation fostering. There have been quite a few foster parents that are vacationing, but have no place for their foster dogs to go! So, they'll give us a vacationing greyhound. (We got Onyx) He is a special needs dog. He has diabetetes, allergies, and seperation anxiety. They sent us Onyx, because he's used to being around lots of dogs, which is the cause of his seperation anxiety. If he does fine with just one other dog, it could open up more adoption oppertunites. (most people don't have 3-10 dogs) I've been showing Onyx around Dogster and decided to let him talk for a little big: Heloo Dogster! My name is Onyx! I'm living with my new friend, Abby! My foster mommy is currently taking care of 10 doggies! (some are vacationing foster greys) Abby's mommy said she'd help out, and took me in for a few weeks! I'm a lot bigger than Abby. Sometimes, I don't relize how big I am and I plow right over her. I just want some petting! =D Last night, there was a big scare. I escaped from my harness, and got loose! The humans caught me very soon. Back to Abby! Thanks for listening! You can se pictures of Onyx right here.
Hello Everydog! I'm writting to wish you a very very safe and happy Independence Day! Tell Mommy and Daddy to stay safe while shooting off your fireworks and playing with sparklers. And for you, make sure to find a nice cozy spot to hide while the "the booms" are going off! Don't forget to have your parents see if fireworks are legal in your area, also!
So, any plans for the 4th? I am!! Mommy, Daddy, and Big Sis are having a picnic while watching fireworks! (aka "the booms") Big Sis says she'll put all my favorite blankets and toys in my room while the family is on their picnic. I go crazy during thunderstorms, how am I gonna survive with fireworks.......ALONE!?!?!?!?! You see, last year, Big Sis and Her Friend (and mommy and daddy) went to a 4th of July parade in the afternoon. So they didn't go to see fireworks that evening, they watched the fireworks in New York and Chicago on TV. And they were there to comfort me!
Please pray for the stray dogs, cats, birds, deer and other wildlife on July 4th! This is extrememly scary for them! I'm sure some small critters have heart-attacks! Big Sis feels so sorry for all the animals on the street this day! Please Please Pray Pray Pray!

Police Blotter: Two crimes involving marijuana; witness assists in arrest of car thieves
By Cassandra Baker
1:01 a.m., October 21. 62nd block of 24th Ave NW
Police responded to reports of an aggravated assault with a firearm in the middle of the night on October 21. They arrived at the scene and spoke with the victim, who said that on October 19 he had gotten into a dispute with his marijuana dealer. He said that the suspect threatened to "bleed" him if he didn't pay the $700 he owed. The victim said that the suspect then struck him in the head with the grip of a black semi-automatic handgun. He said that he did not report it at first because the suspect threatened him and said that his "network" would "get him" if he called the police. The responding officers examined the victim but did not see any evidence of his injury. The victim was concerned that the suspect would come after him and expressed a desire to recant his claims.
5:00 a.m., October 19. N 105th St and Greenwood Ave N
A man called police early on the morning of October 19 after he saw two suspicious-looking men in the parking garage of his apartment complex. He saw the men looking into cars and said that they entered at least one vehicle. While waiting for officers to arrive, he remained on the line and reported that the suspects had left the garage and entered a car parked on the street. Officers arrived at the scene and quickly located the two suspects and the two female passengers of the car.
The car was missing both license plates, and officers determined that it had been stolen from Marysville. It contained a large quantity of backpacks and electronics that were presumed to have been stolen. The male suspects also had many car keys in their possession. The car was impounded and the male suspects were arrested and then booked into King County Jail on charges of burglary and auto theft. The two female suspects were arrested for outstanding warrants.
3:45 p.m., October 18. 46th block of Shilshole Ave NW
A man called police on the afternoon of October 18 to report that he believed that a former employee had burglarized his business. The suspect broke in between 10:00 p.m. on October 17 and 1:00 a.m. on October 18 and stole specialized equipment designed to extract chemicals from marijuana. The victim said that the equipment was custom built and was worth about $25,000. He said that the suspect operated the equipment for about four hours before stealing it. There was surveillance video of someone in the building, but it did not show the theft.

Sports and science join hands: Learn with Kris Srikkanth, the fun way
- Careerguide.bhaskar.com
- Jun 11, 2011, 00:30 AM IST
New Delhi: Ever thought of learning Maths and Science through Sports? Well, former Indian cricket team captain and chairman of the selection committee of the Indian cricket team, Kris Srikkanth has made this union between sports and education a reality.
The former Indian cricketer has recently launched an e-learning initiative which uses sports, particularly cricket, to enhance management and leadership skills of students.
He has come up with www.edustrokes.com, for learning Maths and Science in a unique way. Another portal which uses the "language of cricket' for career enhancement and personality development is www.careerstrokes.com.
The renowned cricketer is in Delhi for a Special Address at The National Education Summit 2011, an initiative by the Dainik Bhaskar Group. "It gives me immense pleasure to be associated with initiative taken by the Dainik Bhaskar Group."
We caught up with him to get more insights into his unique and novel initiative.
What is the concept behind edustrokes.com andcareerstrokes.com?
These initiatives have been launched to use the language of cricket for career enhancement and personality development. The medium of cricket is used to enhance the soft, management, leadership, and communication skills of students. Cricket and Sports will give real examples to students. Science and Physics will be taught to students through the medium of Sports. There will be videos and interactive sessions which will make learning an exciting and enjoyable experience for students. Through the audio video medium students will easily understand a particular topic.
What is special about your site?
Learning Objects are based on real-life concepts such as sports, so it is easy to understand. It has a lot of video content which makes learning an enjoyable experience. Real life cricketing examples are given through visuals and videos. There are also interactive audio-visual sessions. Live sessions, webinars, and chats with teachers and coaches are also organised for students.
You are a qualified engineer and still you chose cricket over a degree…
Cricket is my passion. I never wanted to become a cricketer but I became one as it was my passion, which is now my profession.
Sometimes it is difficult for students to choose their passion over profession. What is your advice for such students?
A student should choose only that career in which they have interest and what they really want to do. If they are passionate about something, they will definitely succeed in it. They should choose a career which they enjoy. Do not pursue something just for the sake of it. If you'll not enjoy something then you will not be successful in it.
There are so many cricket academies mushrooming in every nook and corner. What factors should a student should keep in mind before choosing one?
Since most of them are driven by monetary purposes, students should choose one which will actually give them training. Look for the coach and the in-charge of that academy and then opt for it.
Apart from cricket what are the other sports in which a student can make a career?
These days, there is a lot of interest in Tennis, Football, Badminton and Athletics. The more the champions our country produces in different fields, the more interest we create in different sports.

What a trip
Hey guys,
What a spectacular trip. I happen to accidentally stumble upon it when looking for the address of the guest house we are at in Chang Mai (Whiskey Inn) and your blog entry popped up.
We are in the middle of a 15 month strip of our own, but we are not touching western Europe or North America because they are too expensive. Would you be willing to share your costs for your trip for comparisons sake?
our blog is
one of the last few entries gives detais of our finances so far.
Take care
Introducing Carlie
Loading Map
After Carlie had slept for a while we decided to go back and wake her up so we could all get some dinner. Let's just say of all the pizza places we could have chosen we picked the wrong one. Sure the food was okay but the waitress (or perhaps it was a waiter) was very strange. When she asked us what drinks we wanted Carlie answered a "Diet Coke", Megan asked for a "normal Coke" and Rick asked for either a Sprite or Seven up, he didn't care which
After dinner we took Carlie to check out the coolest clothing store on earth - Gap and American Eagle. So cool!
On the way back Rick got stopped by some guy on the street and when he ignored him as we so often do when stopped by strangers trying to sell us something poor Rick was accused of being a racist and being upset at the OJ trial! What the?
A very interesting mix of characters here in LA to say the least.
Now for those of you who are wondering who Carlie is, she is Megan's younger sister that has decided to join us on the last part of our trip. She likes romantic walks on the beach, digs 80's music and is a big Ramones fan. Her star sign is Leo, so she can be a bit of a lion sometimes and when she was younger wanted to be a librarian. Overall a nice innocent girl very keen to leave the country behind and wander through the big wide world.

When summer rolls around, no one is in the mood to bake. Heat in the kitchen can take just about anybody's appetite away, and that's why no-bake desserts are key. Fudge is an easy, utensil-free, no-bake dessert that everyone can get their hands on, and similar to ice cream, its flavors are completely customizable. Instead of pre-heating your oven (and house) this summer, consider whipping up one of these six fudge recipes.
1. Old-Fashioned Chocolate Fudge
Starting out with the classic, we come to this recipe for old-fashioned chocolate fudge from All Recipes. Requiring just five ingredients, this recipe will make 60 squares.
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions: Grease an 8-by-8-inch square baking pan. Set aside. Combine sugar, cocoa, and milk in a medium saucepan. Stir to blend, then bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer. Do not stir again.
Place candy thermometer in pan and cook until temperature reaches 238 degrees Fahrenheit (114 degrees Celsius). If you are not using a thermometer, then cook until a drop of this mixture in a cup of cold water forms a soft ball. Feel the ball with your fingers to make sure it is the right consistency. It should flatten when pressed between your fingers. Remove from heat.
Add butter or margarine and vanilla extract. Beat with a wooden spoon until the fudge loses its sheen. Do not under beat. Pour into prepared pan and let cool. Cut into about 60 squares.

Fifty years ago to the day, two teams from the Whangarei Bowling Club skipped by Harry Ashcroft and Jack Roos met in the final of the Centre Fours at the Kensington greens. Ashcroft won the match 26 shots to 10.
Last Sunday, that result was repeated when teams from the Whangarei Club skipped by Gary Herbert and Dusty Reader met in the final of the men's Centre Fours at Kensington greens.
This time the result was a win to Dusty Reader, Ken Fitness, Laurie Reader and Steve Smith over Gary Herbert, Paul Graham, Eddie Horgan and Dave Holwell by 17 shots to 10. This was a gold star performance for Dusty.
In the women's final, the winning performance came from the Kensington combination of Sally Stirling, Marie Barrett, Shirley Holland and Margaret Gurney over the Hikurangi combination of Anne Bateman, Linda Pedro, Gwen Lawson and Savanna Lauder by 18 shots to 10. The score was 10-10 after 12 ends, but a four dropped by the Hikurangi team on the 13th end gave the Kensington combination the advantage and set them up for the win.
Pairs deadline
The Centre Open Pairs is the next event on the calendar and players are reminded that entries close today.
Title won again
The NZ Trust Open was contested, with the women's triples and singles events completed last Friday.
This competition was a great success for Northland combinations, with Anne Bateman and Nancy Jujnovich winning the pairs final from another Northland combination of Ann Muir and Jude Ganley.
The triples event saw another Northland combination of Anne Bateman, Ann Muir and Lauren Mills combine together to try and defend the title that they won last year. It was not to be this year, however, and they lost the final 13-9.
Bowlers are reminded that the finals from this event will be shown on Sky TV commencing tonight at 7pm.
Umpires' corner
All players are reminded to read the conditions of play for all Centre events that are on pages 9 and 10 of the handbook, covering topics such as playing uniforms and each team wearing the same attire. Substitutes or replacements are only accepted in certain circumstances. Please check the rules.
Coming events
Umpires' tournament, November 28; Secondary Schools NZ finals at Hamilton, December 8-10; Northland versus Far North and North Harbour at Whangarei and Onerahi clubs, December 16.

(NEW YORK) — The Seattle Seahawks will sign veteran kicker Ryan Longwell, according to sources of ESPN's Ed Werder, after their starting kicker Steven Hauschka injured his calf in the team's playoff win over the Redskins Sunday.
Werder also reported that although the Seahawks have signed Longwell, Hauschka may still be activated for Sunday's divisional round matchup against the Falcons if his calf is feeling better.
The 38-year-old Longwell last played in the NFL in 2011 for the Minnesota Vikings. In his 15 NFL seasons, Longwell has converted 83.2 percent of his field goal attempts.

Dr. Jorgenson is one of the newest additions to the Campbell University Divinity School faculty, being named the Assistant Professor of Christian Theology and Ethics in Fall 2008. His research explores the intersections between theology and spirituality, religion and the arts, and ancient tradition and contemporary church life. He travels across North Carolina and the United States, preaching and teaching at churches and college campuses.
Topics: Theology and Spirituality / Theology, Literature, and the Arts / Theology and Popular Culture
Available for: Lectures / Retreats / Pulpit Supply / Interim Pastorates
Travels from: Buies Creek, NC // Flies from: RDU
Cameron Jorgenson teaches Theology and Ethics at Campbell University Divinity School. Although his doctoral research delved into the nature and role of tradition in Baptist theology-- and therefore, the importance of Christian thinkers of the past for Christian life today--his research and presentations often explore the nooks and crannies of popular culture to engage the theology one can find in unexpected places like literature, television, films, and popular music.
Jorgenson graduated summa cum laude from Grand Canyon University and earned his Master of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary. He was a Presidential Doctoral Scholar at Baylor University where he earned his PhD. While at Baylor, Jorgenson focused his studies on Theology and Philosophy, presenting widely at academic conferences and serving in various leadership capacities (President of the Graduate Theological Fellowship, founding Fellow of the Honors Residential College, member of the American Academy of Religion Graduate Student Committee). Now in his second year at CUDS, Jorgenson is relishing life as a new professor, teaching, mentoring students who are interested in doctoral studies, and speaking in churches. He is especially glad that upon arrival at Campbell he met his bride: Kelly Jorgenson, the Divinity School's Director of Admissions.
Jorgenson has spoken to diverse audiences—churches of various denominations, campus ministries, college chapel services, spiritual formation retreats, faculty gatherings (and once to a Bible study for gang members in inner-city Los Angeles)—and in each of the settings the goal has been the same: to encourage believers to plunge deeper into the mystery of the Christian faith. He shares the conviction of Evagrius of Pontus that: "A theologian is one who prays, and one who prays is a theologian." Jorgenson's hope is that the church at large would be full of praying theologians.
Pulpit Supply / Interim Pastorates:
Dr. Jorgenson has a passion for preaching and the work of the local church. His preaching imaginatively engages the rich stories of scripture and draws attention to the surprising ways that those stories speak to real life and our ultimate questions. To inquire about availability for pulpit supply or an interim pastorate, click here.
Lecture Series:
Distinctly Baptist in a Diverse Culture
Today, the religious landscape in the United States today is more diverse than it has ever been. These lectures explore this new reality, addressing how Baptists can respond to these changes in ways that remain true to the Baptist identity. Sessions include discussions of the promise and peril of pluralism, how we might move beyond "toleration" to Christian hospitality, how we relate to other Christian churches, how we might engage public policy and political life, and how we can develop a deeper and more rooted Christian faith in a time of change.
Pilgrimage and the Christian Life
This series traces the theme of pilgrimage—a sacred journey—in scripture and the history of Christian spiritual practice. Sessions include explorations of pilgrimage and prayer, the ancient practice of the "Stations of the Cross," and the role of travel in spiritual formation. Practical and interactive, this series challenges believers to embark on the great adventure into the heart of the Christian faith.
Theology & Pop Culture
In popular culture there are plenty of obvious examples of things worthy of criticism. But what happens if we look deeper? What we find is a mixture of things that are deep and shallow, meaningful and meaningless, sacred and profane. If we have eyes to see and ears to hear, we can discover profoundly theological questions being explored artistically in the context of films, television, music, and literature. This series intends to provide a way into the dialogue with popular culture, helping believers better engage the profound questions that are raised in the public square.
Visual Faith: Learning to Pray with Your Eyes Wide Open
In the earliest centuries of the church a rich visual heritage emerged, seeking to praise God through beauty while expressing the deep mysteries of the faith in visual form. Intended to educate, to encourage, and to call the church to prayer, these images were a vital aspect of the faith of the early church; but, due to concerns about their use and abuse, images fell out of favor during the Reformation. This series explores the Christian visual heritage, the theology of images that developed in the early church, and the challenges of developing a "visual faith."
The Shack: Wrestling with the Ultimate Questions through Popular Literature
The New York Times bestseller, The Shack, by William P. Young, has provoked a tremendous response from both critics and enthusiasts. This series engages the novel generously--though not uncritically--as a fascinating treatment of the most perplexing Christian mysteries: the Trinity, the problem of evil, and how we know (and name) God.
Additional details:
"Dr. Jorgenson brings to the table a delightful combination of solid scholarship and skillful presentation wrapped in a package bound with joyful, even humorous, spirit. In him you will find a warm-hearted scholar and churchman whom you will want quickly to embrace. I recommend him highly!"
Dr. Dwaine Greene
Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs
Campbell University
"When Cameron filled the pulpit for me, his message was tailored to continue the sermon direction I had been taking during the previous weeks. It was the perfect transition into a new ministry strategy our church recently implemented. He also led in a large group discussion of the book, The Shack. He was fully prepared and handled questions with grace and confidence. I was especially grateful for how he was able to speak to both mind and heart during the session. Our people loved him."
Dr. Brian Lee
Senior Pastor
Lafayette Baptist Church - Fayetteville, NC
"Last year, we partnered with Dr. Cameron Jorgenson to lead a series of discussions about the tough questions of faith. He did an excellent job leading our students in discussions about some of the big questions of faith that we often avoid in the church. He was able to provide historical and theological information for them. It was easy to understand and the students were engaged. The students still speak highly about the series. I highly recommend Dr. Jorgenson to any church or organization that wants to go deeper in their understanding of key theological issues in a way that is engaging to everyone."
Rev. Charity Roberson
Campus Minister
Raleigh Area Baptist Student Union
Spring 2011 Commissioning Sermon
Chapel Service, September 6, 2011
Advent Service, December 4, 2012
To inquire about Cameron's availability, please send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com. Please indicate the type of event you have in mind along with information about the proposed date, suggested topic, and the intended audience. Thanks for your interest!

What Went Wrong?
This week's front cover story about two Arverne teens, Lakim Luster, 17, and Marcus Fyall, 16, who carjacked and shot a Rockaway man, is yet another reminder of violence among our younger generation. Within the last few months, The Wave reported on the murder of BJ Smith by two teens and the murder of a Far Rockaway boy for his gold chain by his "friends." What is going on here?
Obviously from the school shootings seen across the country, Rockaway's teen violence is not isolated. Kids are taking out there anger in new ways. They are showing not only a lack of disrespect, but an absolute lack of concern for life. It seems like life, both theirs and others, is not valued or worth a dime.
Luster and Fyall seemed to have everything going for them. They were top stars of their high school sports teams with futures in college ball. Why waste it all on a carjacking and attempted murder? What made them decide to act in such a violent way?
Some will say it is the lack of God. Others say it is the crumbling of the American family as we know it. Then there is the blame on drugs, money. Probably, it is all these elements combined that bring this type of deviant and defiant behavior in our teens.
Really, there is no single answer to all these questions. In the end, this is an individual challenge for all of us. Those with children are obligated to set positive examples for them, teaching them that their life, and the life of all others, is beautiful and full of endless worth. They must nurture their children, providing them with a balance of love, structure and discipline. They must be involved with their children, in all aspects of their lives. And for those without children, remember there are plenty that need us. Maybe your involvement in a child or young teen's life could make the difference.
Since this doesn't usually occur the way we would like, a small community like Rockaway truly feels the consequences of such senseless acts.
In the future, before we get to these senseless acts, let's act upon our obligations to each other. It could mean life or death…

Constellation Brands Offers Dim Outlook
Constellation Brands (STZ) is bracing for trouble selling its wines and beverages in 2008. The U.K. market has been weak. Meanwhile, U.S. companies that distribute Constellation Brands' products are consolidating and slashing inventory. After the Fairport (N.Y.) company warned Mar. 1 that its earnings will get worse next year as sales fall, investors dumped its stock.
Constellation expects to have $1.65 to $1.70 earnings per share in the year ended Feb. 29, 2007 and year-over-year sales growth in the low double digits to low teens. Then Constellation thinks it will have $1.30 to $1.40 in comparable EPS during fiscal 2008 and a 12% to 14% sales drop. Consensus estimates had been for $1.83 per share EPS and an 11.7% sales drop in 2008, after $1.67 EPS and a 12% increase in 2007, according to the San Francisco research firm StarMine.
Investors sold the stock 16.5% to $19.60 per share on the New York Stock Exchange on Mar. 1.
Constellation Wines U.S., which includes California wineries like Robert Mondavi, is planning to cut down on distributor inventory levels during the first half of the fiscal year. As distributors continue consolidating and getting larger, they're also making their business processes more efficient and cutting down on their costs. For example, a large distributor might be able buy its inventory in bulk at lower rates than a small one.
While Constellation Brands navigates such issues, the company is also taking hits in the U.K., where low cost bulk Australian wine is available and the market has been competitive. But Constellation expects the U.K. market to eventually correct its problems and recover.
UBS analyst Kaumil Gajrawala says issues in the U.K. were not new, but appear worse than expected, according to a report from Standard & Poor's MarketScope. The analyst maintained the firm's neutral rating on the stock, given limited visibility in the near-term in the company's wine business.
Constellation continues pushing to keep up with the consolidation in the industry by expanding its own growth. For example, news hit in July of its plans for a joint venture with the Mexican beverage giant Grupo Modelo to market beer beginning in 2007. The company also completed its acquisition of the Mississauga (Ont.)-based Vincor on June 5. And on Feb. 6, Constellation announced its agreement with Guillaume Cuvelier and Belgian-based Alcofinance S.A., the owners of Svedka Vodka, to acquire the brand and related business for $384 million.
"Our confidence in Constellation's long-term growth remains strong and we continue to take actions intended to strengthen the company during increasing consolidation in the beverage alcohol industry," CEO Richard Sands said in a press release March 1. Putting his money where his mouth is, Sands allowed his company to authorize the buyback of $500 million in common stock. Sands said "repurchasing Constellation shares is an appropriate investment for us, in addition to being an excellent opportunity for available capital."

Springfield Armory XD9SC, Glock 26, and Smith & Wesson MP9C come to mind immediately. All are sub-compact 9mm's and can easily be used for CCW.
I was looking to buy a semi-auto 380 or 9mm for concealed carry purposes. Currently the only semi-auto I have is a Charles Daly HP, which for me is a little to large to conceal(5'4" and 103lbs). So far all the ones I had considered, none of the gun shops or their distributers have them in stock. The compacts I had looked at the Bersa 380 and 9mm compacts, the Keltek PF-9, and the Ruger LCP(found out they had a recal though).
So my question is what other 380/9mm what there for around/under $600, that are realiable and relitively compact.
Springfield Armory XD9SC, Glock 26, and Smith & Wesson MP9C come to mind immediately. All are sub-compact 9mm's and can easily be used for CCW.
I don't know much about the others, but the Springfield xd9 is a great gun.
Shoots very well out of the box.
+1 for the XD SC9. Also the Bersa 380 is a really nice choice. If you can't find an LCP, try the Kel Tec P3AT but both of these are small pocket guns.
Thanks for the suggestions, I called my local store and they have the Glock 27 (I know you said 26, but they are suppose to be similar in dimensions) so I am going to go take a look at it. They have a firing range there to so I might go ahead and purchase it if I like the way it shoots even though it is .40 cal instead of 9mm/380.
The Kahr MK and PMK 9's are nice small compact pistols. I have the 40s&w models and have been very happy with them. If you want one of the Bersa models try to look at the thunder CC model I was able to check one out at the last Gun show and am thinking of picking one up.
I sold my XD9SC for a M&P9c, which is an improvement (in my hands). LOVED the XD, love the M&P more.
I carry a Kel-Tec P-3AT daily, when I cannnot carry the M&P9c.
I trust my life to both. I prefer 12+1 of 9mm in the M&P, but the Kel-Tec beats no gun at all... and is 100% reliable.
Look at the Kahr CW Series. Come in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 acp. The CW9 may be the perfect carry pistol.
Since I'm about twice your weight and often carry a G26, what comes to mind is that if I were half my size, I would want a thinner pistol. Yes, the XD/M&P/Glock compact/subcompacts are great pistols, but you are smaller than the average gun totin' person. I would recommend that you consider the thinner pistols. They will be easier to conceal, yet still have enough grip size for you to shoot without any problems.
Take a look at the Walther PPS, which has interhchangeable backstraps. The KT PF9 would work, but is not nearly as nice as a PPS. I would also concur with the Kahr CW9 suggestion as well, and include the MK9 too, which is more or less the metal version of their PM9. The CW9 is thinner than a Glock or XD or M&P, and they average only about $399 in price.
I'll add SIG 239 and S&W 908. Both single stack, 8+1 in 9mm.
What about the Beretta PX4 Storm Subcompact? It's 12+1 and is aviable in 9mm. Since they are brand new (and very delayed) they may be hard to find, but perhaps you will have beter luck then I did!
Actually the PX4 SC is 13+1. I own one.
I have owned the kel-tec .32 great for concealment just not much in the trigger department. I now own a bersa and I love it
Please remember that the smaller the pistol, the more difficult it is to shoot effectively. Even a .380 ACP like the tiny Ruger or Kel-Tec is very difficult to control.
If you decide to carry a pocket-size pistol, you also have to decide to put in a whole lot more practice with it, both dry- and live-fire, than you would to become proficient and effective with a larger gun.
Most people have difficulty making center-of-mass hits in a torso-size target that is as close as 20 feet (across an ordinary bedroom), with a small-size pistol.
Practice dry-fire daily for at least 10 minutes. Put in at least 30 minutes of live-fire, once a week. Get your hand used to the uncomfortable recoil of your small pistol, or your second shot will always be a wild one.
Good luck!
Smaller gun is easier to conceal but you are giving up accuracy as well as ease of control. Personally I don't like anything smaller than an officers model 1911 and a lot of those I've seen are not all that great.
The follow up shot is not all that easy with smaller pistols but if one was to practice..A LOT then one could at least do as well as the gun will allow. I understand the whole 21 foot mentality but I like knowing I can reach out and touch someone at greater distances.
Anyway, if it was me I'd go for a 9mm over the 380. I just believe it to be a better round and the options you have are much greater. There's a ton of good 9mm pistols out there. A smaller person I would say look for a single stack 9mm and you will have no problem with it. That Bersa Thunder 380 is a pretty good little pistol but it is a little hard on the hands and that's from someone that shoots a 45 almost daily.
Sig is coming out with a new .380. It's the 238 and it looks a lot like a Colt Mustang.

We were planning our next move, which had been determined in part by the fact that Bree was asking for an oil change and that there is a large Camping World store in Albuquerque - which incidentally allows overnight parking, a bonus indeed. Since we wanted to avail ourselves of a free night we didn't want to arrive in time for the job to be done on Wednesday, hence the "Let's drive into..." Those of you who have been blog regulars know that if its one thing I hate its driving through large towns in the bus...let alone stopping...parking etc. We have avoided such foolishness like the plague. Being the dutiful wife I agreed to look at the map, yes it seeeemed OK there was a car park with dedicated RV parking it was right near the old town, perfect. So with sweaty palms and a dry throat (me not Malc, who was unusually calm) we found said car park. There was just one little hitch; instead of oversize spaces big enough to accommodate 50' of vehicle there were only normal spaces, charged at $1 per half hour. We took up 7 spaces in all!! Maybe not such a good idea. Slowly pulling out of the car park we spotted another RV parked on the road, fortunately there was space for us around the corner. I have to say Malc did a superb job parking all 50' of us expertly.
Well, we were now right in the downtown area, not only the oldest part, but also the museum quarter. I have to admit that we gave them a miss, sometimes you can just be all 'museumed' out.
Downtown Albuquerque was well worth all the tribulation, the old town plaza, surrounded with adobe buildings and with the inevitable old church had a lovely relaxed feel, or was that just me that had relaxed?

WB, NE a hotbed of investment frauds: probe
The regulators have found that almost none of the entities accused are actually registered as or running chit fund companies.
New Delhi: Amid a raging controversy over alleged cheating of gullible investors by Saradha group, the regulators have found that West Bengal and Northeastern states have become a hotbed of such frauds and NRIs from these regions account for a large chunk of defrauded people. While the Centre has announced an SFIO (Serious Fraud Investigation Office) probe into the affairs of Kolkata-based Saradha group and other such entities across the country, market regulator Sebi is also investigating illegal money-pooling activities of many such groups.
While the capital markets regulator is focussing its probe on violation of Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) norms by these companies, it has prima facie come across various instances of funds being channelled to and from other countries and these cases, after further probe, could be referred to other agencies like the Enforcement Directorate, RBI and other agencies, a senior official said. The Enforcement Directorate and the Income Tax department have already begun their own respective investigations into the matter and assistance could be sought from RBI and other regulatory and enforcement agencies as well, he added.
The preliminary probe into Saradha group and other continuing investigations into various other entities also shows that West Bengal and Northeastern states like Assam and Tripura have become the favourite hunting grounds of the companies engaged in illegal money collection activities. Besides, a large number of NRIs having origins in these states are understood to have been defrauded by many such companies, including Saradha group.
The regulators have found that almost none of the entities alleged to have defrauded the gullible investors are actually registered as or running chit fund companies, although their investment schemes are commonly known as 'chit funds' in the region.
Capital market regulator Sebi has already passed an order against one group entity, Saradha Realty India, asking it to wind up all collective investment schemes and refund the money collected from investors. Besides, Sebi is also probing at least ten other Saradha entities for raising funds without the regulator's approval. The Income Tax Department would also soon start its investigations into the activities of this group.
The decision to order a probe came after a meeting taken by the Corporate Affairs Minister Sachin Pilot of the top ministry officials yesterday, where activities of Saradha group and other money-pooling entities were discussed. Besides Saradha group, the meeting also deliberated on steps required to check suspected fraudulent activities of other chit fund companies, sources said.
In the past, the Ministry had received complaints of alleged ponzi schemes at 73 companies of about a dozen different groups in West Bengal. These complaints, which also include those against Saradha group entities, were referred to concerned agencies and departments by the Ministry. Saradha group has more than 100 firms registered with the RoC (Registrar of Companies) for businesses across sectors including real estate, auto, education and entertainment.
Most of these companies are registered with names starting with 'Saradha', while there are also firms with other names. Authorities are already looking into alleged ponzi or multi-level marketing schemes of at least ten Saradha firms. Majority of the group's firms are into real estate. These include Saradha Build-Dev, Saradha Realty India, Saradha Infra Properties, Saradha Township, Saradha Villa and Saradha Housing. The group also has registered companies related to education, exports, automobiles, shopping mall, agro development, tour and travels, among others.
Typically, chit fund schemes are very small in size and operate among a small and fixed group of investors for a fixed tenure. In such schemes, generally a small number of people come together to pool in their money every month and one of those persons is given the entire pool of money. The money is later returned in installments.
In comparison, the illicit ponzi or money-circulation schemes involve thousands, and at times lakhs or crores of people, and the money collected from them also range from a few hundreds to lakhs of rupees. The regulatory probe shows that a large number of investors in the West Bengal and North-Eastern states have been lured into schemes of real estate, hospitality and tourism businesses with promises of huge returns.
About a dozen groups from this region are being probed by Sebi, while it has already taken action against many others in the past. A special task force has also been set up under the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) to carry out all investigations into such companies, the Corporate Affairs Ministry said yesterday.
The decision was taken in view of a "larger public interest involved in these cases, and concerns regarding misuse/laundering by such companies of the ill-gotten wealth and the possibility that the promoters of these companies may strip these companies," the Ministry said. The probe follows raging public protest against alleged duping of lakhs of investors by Saradha group through their chit-fund and other money-pooling activities in West Bengal.
After being on the run for several days, Saradha Group Chief Sudipta Sen was arrested in Kashmir valley three days ago and a Kolkata court has ordered his police remand. The SFIO Task Force will also also coordinate with other law enforcement agencies and regulators wherever required, in its investigations.

The trading deadline is a little bit more than 24 hours away. So far, we have Kevin Garnett still sticking to his guns about not waiving the no-trade clause. And then we have a report that says that the Boston Celtics are likely not going to make a trade. There was also talk that the Clippers think they're giving away too much (Eric Bledsoe and DeAndre Jordan) for a player that will probably only play for one or two more seasons. Well, things will come to a bit of a halt, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports. Check out this report:
For now, the Los Angeles Clippers have terminated talks with the Boston Celtics on a Kevin Garnett for Eric Bledsoe and DeAndre Jordan trade, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. The Celtics have been eager to continue the conversation on the deal, but league sources said the talks will remain dormant unless Clippers star Chris Paul pushes the issue with management.
So it's all up to Chris Paul, apparently. And we had also mentioned that Chris Paul has tried to convince Garnett about the Clippers but Garnett has said the same thing: he won't waive his no-trade clause. But if Celtics President Danny Ainge changes his mind about staying put with the team and trades Celtics icon Paul Pierce, then Garnett might be less inclined to stay with the team and waive that no-trade clause. That's probably what the Clippers are hoping right now if they are going to continue to pursue Garnett. There isn't much time left, though. As mentioned, the trade deadline is at 3pm EST on Thursday. But, apparently, teams are waiting on the Atlanta Hawks to move Josh Smith. Once Smith gets moved, a domino effect may happen when it comes to dealing. Even still, other than possibly Smith and Garnett, no other big stars are expected to get dealt due to luxury tax and the big free agent class of 2014. We will continue to keep an eye on the Celtics and Clippers and see what they do.

THE head of a Celtic supporters' trust has provoked outrage by defending the singing of pro-IRA songs by the club's fans during matches.
Dr Jeanette Findlay, who chairs the Celtic Trust, which represents supporters and small shareholders, claimed chants about the IRA were "songs from a war of independence".
She was speaking during an interview on BBC Radio Five Live's breakfast programme. Her comments prompted a furious response from listeners.
Dr Findlay, who is a research fellow and economics lecturer at Glasgow University, had been replying to questions by presenter Nicky Campbell about the trust's opposition to the appointment as club chairman of the former home secretary, John Reid, who was a cabinet minister at the time of the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Dr Findlay said the trust's opposition was to do with Mr Reid's "leading role in relation to what many believe is an illegal and immoral war".
Mr Campbell then asked her if she was more uncomfortable with the singing of pro-terrorist songs or the appointment of Mr Reid.
Dr Findlay responded: "I have tried to explain about the nature of Celtic as a club. It was founded to help the poor Irish immigrants to Scotland.
"They may take a particular view of the history, of what happened in Ireland, which is different from many other people, so I don't call those pro-terrorist songs. What history tells us is that it is facile to say that politics and sport will ever be separated."
Mr Campbell said he was not referring to songs such as The Fields of Athenry, but to "actually chanting: 'The IRA'."
She replied: "Many of those songs are songs from what was essentially a war of independence going back over a hundred years."
Celtic fans bombarded the show with angry texts and e-mails and some members of the trust said they would quit.
One said: "I listened to her on my way to work. I was actually shouting at the radio for her to please shut up."
Another fan, Sean from Derry, texted: "Her one-eyed hypocritical views... are disturbing and a ludicrously perverted take on history. She doesn't represent the majority of opinion of Irish nationalist Celtic fans."
A Celtic FC spokeswoman distanced the club from Dr Findlay's words: "These comments are unrepresentative of the Celtic support... and we are delighted with the way in which our fans currently support the team."
Richard Benjamin, director of the anti-sectarian group Nil By Mouth, said: "While I defend Dr Findlay's right to express her personal beliefs, context is important. Expressing religious and political views in football can be damaging, not just to the sport, but to the wider community, too. I think most football supporters would not be exposed to chants about the IRA at matches."
Dr Findlay was unavailable for comment last night. The controversy came on the day the Scottish Government launched its Kick Out Bigotry campaign.
Dr JEANETTE Findlay is widely acknowledged as one of Scotland's top experts on football economics.
Beyond her main role as a lecturer in Glasgow University's department of economics, she has been closely involved in a campaign to establish a Scottish national unit dedicated to helping football supporters become more involved in the running of their clubs.
The Celtic Trust, which aims to promote the interests of small shareholder fans and is thought to have about 200 members, is one of the first registered trusts in Scotland.
Dr Findlay is also the co-director of the Glasgow University Football Research Centre and is currently involved in setting up a postgraduate course in sport and public policy.
She is also carrying out a project to study the local economic effects of stadium development.

Date of Stay: August, 2012
Definitely a communication problems. Called two weeks prior to book for a three nights stay. Asked if we could bring our own wood, was told yes but was not informed there was a fire ban. Never told that the pool was out of commission before booking, when we did ask once on site, we were told that it was gonna be working hopefully that day, but the whole decking around out was torn out for repair, obviously was not a small fix and was not fixed by the day we left. The store was open at random hours, couldn't quite figure out the hours. We were there for four days and not once did the washroom get cleaned and never had paper towel or soap to wash your hands. Was quite difficult to figure out which site was what number and no help from staff on site. We would definitely not go there again.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
Started camping this year. This was the second site we had tried and the one we have liked the best. People are so friendly. Owners do want to please. They have tons of activities for kids. It's so welcoming and family oriented. We will definitely be going there again.
