Alfonso Thomas will open the bowling, McCallum to face first.
19:59 With a minute to go, I've received my last message of good luck. Thanks Akash, it should be a cracker. Well, the match should anyway. "All the best to you on your debut then.. Lets hope we have an equally thrilling game as CSK v/s KXIP!!"
19:58 Out come the umpires and Pune. VVS Laxman and Brendon McCullum join them. Looks like a very full stadium.
19:57 Yuvraj Singh says he is happy to bowl, so looks like everyone got what they wanted here.
19:55 I took some stick for saying that the Kochi outfit, the lilac and orange, might be better for a sari than a cricket shirt. But looking at Mahela now, it's growing me as a cricket shirt too.
19:50 I've received my first feedback email of the day. Good spot from Vignesh here, thanks very much too. It is indeed my commentary debut, so be nice. "Firdose, Is this your 1st match to do commentary? Because I have never seen you commentating other than writing cool articles."
19:45 Let's have a quick recap of how these two teams did in their opening match of the IPL. Kochi batted well to post a competitive 161/5 against Bangalore, but were victims of an AB de Villiers blitz and fell short. Pune started off with a bang. They beat Punjab by seven wickets after a dominant showing with the ball. Alfonso Thomas and Shrikant Wagh were on fire in that game.
19:40 Twenty minutes to go before our second fixture of the day gets underway. While you're waiting take a look at the preview that Abhishek Purohit has put together for this match.
Toss 19:30 Mahela Jayawardene has won the toss and Kochi will bat.
Kochi have made no changes to the starting XI that lost to Bangalore. Pune are also unchanged.
We've just had a cracker of a match in Mohali which saw the Kings XI Punjab beat the Chennai Super Kings by six wickets. If you missed it, take a look at the scorecard here.

Rebuilding Lives
Every refugee deserves a bright and safe future.
That's why UNHCR invests in creating opportunities
and finding lasting solutions for the people we assist.
Every refugee deserves a bright and safe future.
That's why UNHCR invests in creating opportunities
and finding lasting solutions for the people we assist.
Education is the most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the world.- Nelson Mandela
of refugees are under the age of 18
Education is one of the most grounding and normalizing things for a child who has just experienced the trauma of fleeing his or her home amidst war and violence. Education is often seen as a luxury for young refugees or internally displaced people whose families are also struggling to find food, aid and shelter. But education is a basic right, one that UNHCR believes is vital to restore hope, dignity, stability, safety, and in the long-term, self –sufficiency.
If you ask a refugee mother the thing she wants the most, there's a very good chance she's going to ask for help getting her children back to school. Refugees know that the future recovery, safety and prosperity of their families and communities are directly linked to educational opportunities.
With your vital support, UNHCR is able to improve access to learning programs for young refugees of all ages, support teacher training, and fund educational supplies and school repairs. UNHCR supports distance-learning programs, which ensure degrees obtained in host countries are recognized when refugees return home, and even have a special fund that offers higher education scholarships for refugees in their host countries.
refugee households are headed by women
Unaccompanied women, single mothers, and pregnant, disabled or older women all face particular challenges and threats in crisis settings. UNHCR works with its partners to ensure marginalized women have ample and equal access to humanitarian assistance, that programs are planned and carried out with women's special needs in mind and that women are included in decision-making and empowered with new skills.
With your assistance, UNHCR and its partners are helping survivors of sexual and gender-based violence heal, recover and gain economic independence. UNHCR is helping widowed women return to their communities of origin and rebuild their homes. UNHCR is investing in young women—with special programs to increase their enrollment in secondary education and build leadership, life and vocational skills.
Work is the only thing that gives substance to life.- Albert Einstein, a refugee
Refugees may flee their homes with few belongings, but these former farmers, nurses, teachers and business owners always carry with them three things of value: knowledge, skills and experience. UNHCR recognizes the enormous potential of refugees to contribute to local economies wherever they settle and their ardent desire to become self-reliant. UNHCR works with refugees to help revive livelihoods and develop new marketable skills.
UNHCR livelihood specialists and local partners also provide career counseling, seed money and other assistance for entrepreneurs starting their own small businesses and other income-generating projects.
refugees returned to their countries of origin in 2015. Most returned to Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia or the Central African Republic.
UNHCR strongly advocates for safe and lasting solutions for refugees. Most refugees long to return home as soon as it is safe to do so. Unfortunately, returning home is not always possible. When refugees can't go back home, UNHCR helps them rebuild their lives in another country. "Since 1951, we have helped more than 50 million refugees restart their lives by helping them return to their homeland, integrate into the local community or resettle into a new country."
UNHCR believes the best option for refugee families is voluntary return and works with governments and partners to help refugees return when it's safe to do so. UNHCR also help refugees integrate into countries where they have found refuge, or resettle in countries that offer them permanent sanctuary, like the United States.
Resettlement is a precious and often lifesaving opportunity for refugees and the need for resettlement far outstrips available spaces. In 2015, nearly 134,000 were referred by UNHCR for resettlement, a 29 percent increase from 2014. The United States (82,500), Canada (22,900) and Australia (9,300) received 85 percent of all UNHCR submissions in 2015.
The United States remains UNHCR's leading resettlement partner, welcoming more refugees than any other country through a program that helps them settle in, restart their lives and become self-reliant.

Shares of genetics firm Illumina (ILMN) tumbled 9% in early trading Monday after Roche's (RHHBY) chairman said it was "off the table" as a buyout target. Meanwhile, Illumina made another buyout of its own.
Over the weekend, Swiss newspaper SonntagsZeitung published an interview with Franz Humer in which the chairman said merger negotiations had broken down over price. Illumina turned down Roche's $6.8 billion bid in April, but last month its stock jumped on rumors that a new deal had been made. But Humer said Illumina's leaders "were not willing to abandon the totally unrealistic price they were asking for."
In an email to clients, ISI Group analyst Ross Muken said this wasn't a big surprise, as Roche isn't normally willing to put down big money for market leaders. "That being said, we do not believes this precludes Roche from returning to Illumina as a targeted asset in the future and does not diminish its attractiveness as a potential M&A target (it merely discounts Roche's intent to purchase ILMN medium term)," he added.
Early Monday, Illumina announced it's agreed to buy Verinata Health, which makes tests for detecting chromosomal abnormalities in fetuses. Illumina agreed to pay $300 million upfront plus $100 million in milestone payments through 2015 as the company continues to develop new technology.
In the press release, Illumina's diagnostics chief Greg Heath said the buyout will work nicely with Illumina's September acquisition of BlueGnome, a genetics screening company that served the in vitro fertilization market. The combo will "enable Illumina to provide a compelling portfolio of offerings across the spectrum of reproductive health," he said.
Muken wrote that the technology has clear merits, but "capital returns may prove challenging, given investment required in building out commercial organization and reasonable likelihood of pricing pressure via competition."
Before the drop, Illumina held a highest-possible IBD Composite Rating of 99. Shares hit a 16-month high of 57 on Dec. 20, and the stock rose 90% in 2012. The stock was trading near 50 early Monday.

Advertising Card for City Studios, featuring the photographer David Fell, circa 1950s.
The City Studios operated at the 2nd floor of the Block Arcade in Melbourne, probably from the 1950s to the 1960s. This card, numbered D 257, was most likely used as part of the studio's street photography business, given out to a potential customer who had been photographed on the street and then invited to view the photographic proofs the following day and purchase copies of the photographs. They were identifiable through the number on the card, 'D 257'. The customer was invited to telephone the studio or forward the card with a stamped addressed envelope and postal note with full descriptions of the people photographed. This card advertises an offer of a free enlargement with each dozen photographs ordered.
City Studios also did photography work at weddings, parties and birthdays, without charge, offering their services on a no obligation arrangement.

Morning Silver Market Report
Compiled 01/09/12 6:00 AM (CT) Statistics: London Gold Fix $1,618.00 -$3.00 LME Copper Stocks 366,900 tons -1,225 tons SILVER MARKET FUNDAMENTALS: (6:00 AM CT) March silver looks to have started the new trading week respecting last week's pattern of lower highs and lower lows. While silver and other physical commodities could have been lifted this morning by favorable currency market action and spotty gains in international equity markets overnight, the silver trade has instead started off on a back foot. In retrospect, the bull camp in silver has to be disappointed in last week's slide in prices, especially in the face of very favorable US data last week and with looming Euro zone supply ahead this week, there appears to be a feeling of vulnerability in many physical commodity prices to start the new trading week. Comex Silver Stocks were 122.303 million ounces up 1,177,175 ounces. Comex Silver Stocks are actually at the highest levels since 04/01/2009. Stocks have increased 16 of the last 20 days. Comex Silver stocks are at their highest levels in the past 10. The Commitments of Traders Futures and Options report as of January 3rd for Silver showed Non-Commercial traders were net long 13,561 contracts, an increase of 2,533 contracts. The Commercial traders were net short 20,523 contracts, an increase of 1,986 contracts. The Non-reportable traders were net long 6,962 contracts, a decrease of 546 contracts. Non-Commercial and Non-reportable combined traders held a net long position of 20,523 contracts. This represents an increase of 1,987 contracts in the net long position held by these traders. OUTSIDE MARKET DEVELOPMENTS: (6:00 AM CT) Equity markets in Shanghai were strong overnight and that action helped Hong Kong shares to throw off some early weakness. Indian stocks were slightly weaker overnight, while European stocks this morning were unable to show much in the way of definitive direction. In early action today, US equity markets were simply waffling around both sides of unchanged early in the Monday US trading session. The US Dollar has started out weaker against the euro, but it was showing some gains versus the Canadian and Aussie Dollar. Overnight the markets saw generally favorable Euro zone economic readings in the form of strong German export figures, but the market also saw a German auction that effectively resulted in the German government being the benefactor of negative inflation adjusted yields. In looking ahead, the markets will see a US Employment trends index, a Fed speech and US Consumer Credit readings. There is also a German/French meeting underway to discuss normalizing Euro zone fiscal rules.

Blossom Series Vertical Bar
Enameled Necklace(ID: A88684)
Created by Marilee Nielsen
An intricate flower pattern and sandy texture is milled into this heavy gauge sterling silver. The flower detail is made from enameled metal that is cold jointed onto the circle. A lobster clasp on the figure eight sterling chain allows for adjustable length up to 18 inches. The enamel is sturdy but is still glass and should be handled with care, like all intricate, handmade jewelry, being careful to not let it drop. Clean with a soft cloth and store in a sealed plastic bag to avoid tarnish on the silver.

I would disagree, I think your analysis is too narrow and limited in scope, scale and time; perhaps even a touch cynical.
Warren Buffet buys Coca Cola stock because he thinks they make the best product, cola in this instance, for which they receive money in the form of sales profits and that will eventually enrich his investment for that very reason.
So yes, in an extended sense, Warren Buffet
care that Coca Cola produces and sells and excellent product for if they didn't they wouldn't receive as much money and by extension, then neither would Warren. Again though, in the end, it does come down to Coca Cola producting the best product.
A firm that didn't care and wasn't discerning about what products they were investing in would soon go out of business for investing in inferior products where neither the manufacturer nor the investor would receive money. Ultimately there has to be some real value of a real high-quality product -- be it manufactured, intellectual, service or whatever -- undergirding the value of an investment, especially in the long term.
Lacking that real value, you get your bubble economy that some may be able to play to their advantage in the short term but will ultimately collapse, often ruinously, in the end (reference to 2008, the real estate bubble and the Great Recession.)
