KITTY, a finger-mounted keyboard for data entry into PDA's, Pocket PC's and Wearable Computers which has been developed here at the University of California in Irvine.
KITTY was one of this years ISWC (Int. Symposium on Wearable Computers) Wearable Fashion Show main features (see here).
KITTY, an acronym for Keyboard-Independent Touch-TYping, is a fingermounted keyboard that uses touch-typing as the method of data entry.
The device targets the portable computing market and in particular wearable computing systems, which are in the need of a silent, "invisible" data entry system based on touch-typing. The new device combines the idea of a finger-mounted chording device (such as the "Twiddler" by the HandKey Corp.), with the advantages of a system that uses touch-typing (such as the Virtual Keyboard by Senseboard or the Scurry by Samsung).
However, the KITTY system has distinct and important advantages in comparison to the mentioned devices (see attached Comment.txt document).
A patent application for KITTY has been submitted. We also have secured the international rights on the device.
More information about KITTY (including a Flash Demo) can be found at Kittytech.

Strong enough for a Pirate, soft enough enough for a Princess!
In principle, the Sitting Bull looks like a standard beanbag chair, but when reviewed closely, it's really much more than that! This is the first collection of beanbags to cater for different interior design styles, even for your kids! The mini fashion bag is more than just an ornamental piece – it is an individual piece of furniture that can be seamlessly integrated into interiors that exude character.
Due to its unique design, it can be formed and shaped for optimal sitting comfort. Its filling is made out of specially produced EPS beads that are extremely durable and high in quality and not made out of standard shredded Styrofoam waste like most low quality beanbags. Additionally, to Sitting Bull's advantage, the cover material's surface is made of sturdy, high quality polyester that can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth... but Sitting Bull's real test in quality is when you finally sit in it, and only then you shall know that there is absolutely no comparison!
• may be used as a chair, mat, or small mattress
• polytex cover is easily cleaned with cold water and soap
• yarn material is made of 100% nylon thread with triple stitching, non-aging, UV-resistant, extra strong and tear proof
• water & stain resistant
• breathable
• washable
• filled with extra small EPS-beads (polystyrene virgin pearls)
• extra-strong, 4 inch wide velcro childproof fastener
• for indoor and outdoor use, but should be stored inside (not for permanent outdoor use or storage)
• measures 35 x 51 x 8 inches
Usually ships in 5-7 business days

The new VFR is a good bike – but it's not a great one.

Haiti's Unnatural Disaster
Posted on: Thursday, September 11, 2008
Keywords: Economic Justice, Environmental Justice, Haiti, Latin America and Caribbean, Emergency Relief
We've been doing all we can this week to get emergency support to our partner organizations in Haiti.
Haiti—the poorest in the hemisphere—has been slammed by four major storms in the past month. More than 1,000 people have been killed and about one million left homeless.
One of the most harrowing parts of the disaster is that rescue workers cannot reach people in need. Haiti's third-largest city, Gonaives, is under water right now. People there, more than 200,000 of them, have been stranded for days without food or drinking water. Many are huddled on rooftops with what few possessions they have left. They are waiting for rescue, but relief workers are nowhere in sight.
Fortunately, MADRE's sister organizations are already on the ground in Haiti. Our partners at Zanmi Lasante and KOFAVIV are part of the communities devastated by these storms. They don't have helicopters or professional rescue gear. But these are women and men with deep ties in their communities and stellar organizing skills. Right now, with their communities in crisis, it's the social networks that our sister organizations have built over years of organizing that are enabling people to reach out to each other and save lives.
Our partners know who the most vulnerable people are—who just had a baby, or whose grandfather can't walk. And they know how to reach them, even in chaotic flood conditions. We are working through MADRE's Emergency and Disaster Relief Fund to get drinking water, food, medicine, and other emergency aid into the hands of our sister organizations so they can bring relief to survivors.
We need to get people off of rooftops and into shelters. Longer-term, we need to recognize that this is not a natural disaster. The two biggest reasons for the shocking death toll in Haiti are deforestation (which leads to flash flooding) and lack of civic disaster planning and response. Both are consequences of the fact that Haiti has no functional government. US-led policies, like the 2004 overthrow of Haiti's only democratically-elected president, have kept the country impoverished and virtually ungoverned.
Haiti's new prime minister Michèle Pierre-Louis has visited flooded areas and some government officials have been working day and night since the disaster struck. But these amount to individual efforts. There is no infrastructure in place for the country to respond.
Just compare Haiti to Cuba, which actually bore the brunt of Hurricane Ike. In Cuba, four people were killed by the storm. Hurricane fatalities are almost unheard of there, because Cuba's disaster-response system can get millions of people to safety during a storm and then meet their needs for food, medical care, and housing.
What Cuba badly needs is access to medicine. That's because the US embargo makes it almost impossible for them to import medicines and medical supplies that are badly needed in times like this. MADRE has always stood against the embargo. Like most of the world, we consider it to be a cruel policy that violates human rights standards.

Persistent Parker nears top job at American
Doug Parker has no problem donning rapper Psy's light blue tuxedo for Halloween and performing his own version of Gangnam Style before hundreds of employees. The CEO of US Airways even let a video of his dance get posted to YouTube. He's outspoken, confident, and persistent, and he is very close to being put in charge of the world's largest airline.
After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Parker camped out in Washington for three months to secure a government loan to keep his airline in business. One executive who was with him said it often seemed like the other airlines just wanted America West to go out of business.
Parker later engineered an audacious merger of America West and the larger US Airways. Then he spent the next seven years looking for another partner. First Delta rebuffed him. Then United. Twice. Parker then went after the only big airline left: American.
American also resisted at first. But Parker convinced its unions and bankruptcy creditors to pressure American management until it relented. The two sides announced Thursday they'll combine to form an airline that's bigger than United and Delta. Parker will run it.
States' choices set up national health experiment
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama's health care overhaul is unfolding as a national experiment with American consumers as the guinea pigs: Who will do a better job getting uninsured people covered, the states or the feds?
The nation is about evenly split between states that decided by Friday's deadline they want a say in running new insurance markets and states that are defaulting to federal control because they don't want to participate. The choice was left to state governments under the law: Establish the market or Washington will.
With some exceptions, states led by Democrats opted to set up their own markets -- called exchanges -- and Republican-led states declined.
Herbalife stock surges after Icahn grabs stake
NEW YORK (AP) -- Strictly business, nothing personal. That's how Carl Icahn characterizes the latest turn in his clash with fellow Wall Street titan William Ackman.
Both men have a keen interest in Herbalife, a maker of dietary supplements designed to promote weight loss. Ackman claims the company is a fraud and has bet that its stock price will crumble; Icahn says it's a great buy.
They both can't be right, and for now it's not clear which one is. Icahn, for his part, disclosed in a regulatory filing late Thursday that he had taken a 13 percent stake in the company, essentially betting that Ackman is dead wrong. Icahn says he's not making his bet merely to spite Ackman.
US factory output falls on weak auto production
WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. factories slowed production in January after two solid months of cranking out goods. The weakness mainly reflected a big drop in output at auto factories that is likely temporary.
Manufacturing output fell 0.4 percent in January from December, the Federal Reserve said Friday. The decline followed increases of 1.1 percent in December and 1.7 percent in November.
Overall industrial production edged down 0.1 percent in January compared with December. Output In mining, the category that covers oil and gas drilling, fell 1 percent. Utility output jumped 3.5 percent, as a cold snap led more households to turn up their heat.
Foreign holdings of US debt hit $5.56 trillion in December
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Foreign demand for U.S. Treasury securities rose to a record level in December, evidence that overseas investors remained confident in U.S. debt despite on-going budget battles in Washington.
The Treasury Department said Friday that foreign holdings of U.S. Treasurys rose 0.3 percent in December from November to $5.56 trillion. It was the 12th consecutive monthly gain.
China, the top foreign holder, increased its holdings 1.7 percent to $1.2 trillion. Japan, the second largest holder, boosted its investment 0.2 percent to $1.12 trillion.
Burger King feels heat as rivals focus on value
NEW YORK (AP) -- A revamped menu helped boost Burger King's profit in the fourth quarter but now the world's second biggest hamburger chain says it needs to play up value more aggressively to compete with rivals.
The Miami-based chain said Friday that sales in the new year are trending "modestly negative" as the broader fast-food industry fights to attract cash-strapped diners with cheap eats.
To address the intensifying focus on value from competitors, Steve Wiborg, president of Burger King's North America operations, noted the company launched a limited-time offer for a Junior Whopper at $1.29 this week.

Future Financial Resources Task Force plans for the "new normal"
By Adam Overland
October 14, 2009
The lion's share of the discussion at the Oct. 8 and 9 Board of Regents meetings dealt with the financial future of the University of Minnesota. Cochairs of the Future Financial Resources Task Force, Richard Pfutzenreuter and Steven Rosenstone, detailed for the board what President Bruininks referred to as "the new normal"—and what the University must do to meet its long-term challenges.
The system-wide financial task force has spent the past year studying the U's financial outlook, and its message was clear: the new fiscal reality is a dramatic and permanent shift in the University's revenue sources. "Falling state support, the increased importance of tuition, rising costs, increased competition—they all represent a paradigm reset of the University's finances. These are permanent changes—they are not short-term fluctuations—and if we do not meet these challenges in new, decisive ways, quality will slide," said Rosenstone, vice president for scholarly and cultural affairs.
The report cited a decline in state funding as a significant challenge, noting that the share of the U's budget provided by the state has dropped from 43 percent in 1978 to 21 percent in 2010. "The task force [doubts] that state support will grow in the future, at even the bottom 2.2 percent annual rate of growth that the U has experienced over the last decade," said CFO Richard Pfutzenreuter. He noted the potential for a $7.3 billion state budget shortfall in the next biennium as one factor. Changing demographics, including an aging population, will also shift the state's allocation of funds.
The task force noted that because of this the U's commitment to prepare the next generation of leaders in health care and other professions is at risk. "At the same time that the state needs more doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and dentists to care for our aging population, resources from the state are compromising our ability to deliver," said Pfutzenreuter. Fully 70 percent of all health professionals working in Minnesota are trained at the U.
The task force suggested a number of measures to meet the financial challenges of the future:
In order to meet basic yearly incremental costs and fund a modest level of academic investment, the U has historically needed $80 million in recurring funding each year. It's a massive budget with considerable impact on the state, including thousands of new jobs resulting from the new knowledge and innovation generated by the University's research enterprise.
Bruininks said it's important that the entire U community be engaged in thinking about solutions. "We need everyone asking, 'What should be strengthened, what should be maintained, and what should we eliminate [or] substantially reduce?'" he said.
He noted examples of the U's progress in controlling costs. Health care cost increases at the University are trending at about half the market rate, and administrative overhead increases trail other institutions in the state. Additionally, said Bruininks, the U has so far avoided approximately $80 to $100 million in construction costs in recent years, and has implemented a major energy conservation effort.
"If I had a basket full of problems like these, I'd want to be at the University of Minnesota, because everyday I come to work and I get a chance to work with some of the most creative and entrepreneurial people in the world," said Bruininks. "You ask them to save money, and they come to you and tell you 'Do you know if we change light bulbs in a different way we can save $1.5 million a year?' The solutions to the things we're talking about are embedded into the DNA of this place," said Bruininks. (He was referencing information found in the U story, "Light on the subject.")
In other board action:
2010 State Capital Request
The Board of Regents approved the 2010 State Capital Request, including a $2 million reduction to the request for the renovation of Folwell Hall to $34.5 million due to a favorable construction climate.
The request asks the legislature for $193.3 million in state bonds (matched by $46.7 million in University bonds). The request includes $100 million in HEAPR funding for maintenance to existing facilities, the Folwell Hall renovation, a new physics and nanotechnology building on the UMTC campus, a new American Indian Learning Research Center on the UMD campus, $10 million in general lab renovation, and improvements to the Itasca Biological Station. For more information, see Capital Request.
2009-10 enrollment
Provost Tom Sullivan presented the board with a report on 2009-10 enrollment. Sullivan said UMTC earned a record retention rate in 2008, with 90.6 percent of last year's freshman class returning. He cited the quality of incoming academic classes, a strengthened advising program, and Welcome Week and other programs that help students adjust to the University. Sullivan also noted that the fall 2009 class has a record 112 National Merit Scholars.
UMore Park
The board approved the creation of a UMore Park LLC and a legacy fund that will manage any proceeds from the development.
UMC Evergreen Hall dedication
Some members of the board visited the UMC campus for the dedication of Evergreen Hall, the first residence hall in the U system to receive Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. Otter Tail Power Company formally announced at the dedication that it would work with UMC to reduce electric energy consumption on the campus by as much as 15 percent, as part of the company's Campus Energy Challenge.

The Colyak Bowhunters archery club was established in 1951 and is chartered by the
Washington State Archery Association (WSAA). The Colyaks are made primarily of bow
hunters - target and recreational shooters. The Colyaks promote and stimulate interest in
all phases of archery and cooperate with other organizations such as the WSAA and the
Department of Fish and Game to improve archery season, hunting, and outdoor life in
the state of Washington.
The Colyaks hold monthly club meetings to discuss upcoming and current archery events,
exchange hunting stories, and socialize with other archery enthusiasts. The club also
encourages family participation in different club functions. To further enhance this, we
hold various activities throughout the year.
Our activities include four 3-D shoots a year that occur in January, February, March, and
November. We can usually average about 200 shooters at these events. We also have
weekly indoor shooting during the winter months for those who like to shoot all year
round. This usually runs from January through March.
To round out the season, we hold an annual club picnic in the spring. The picnic is where
all the members and families come for a day of outdoor meals and fun shoots. The Big
Game Awards are awarded to those who successfully harvest a big game animal. We also
give out a Traveling Trophy. This goes to the bow hunter who has persisted and persevered
in harvesting the MOST big game animals that season.
If all of these sound fun and something you and your family would like to become a part
of or participate in, give us a call or
contact us

Hello, I m Sherry Conelly. I Love to learn about different cultures and one of the aspects that I feel a speciall appeal is the practice of using piercings in different ages and societies. Sometimes as a way to indicate status or just for aesthetics. If you like this topic, I am glad to invite you to keep in touch with this page that I will be feeding every now and then, always that some new and interesting data would appear.
That is the object of creating this small website.
Genital piercing has been around for many years. Historically it may be hard to set exact dates but it is known that some tribes in Borneo had bones inserted in the penis or in the glans. The Kamasutra mentions the Sanskrit that has set out the rule of sensuality and love among the Hindu society.
Their penis was adorned with jewels.It is possible that someone out there has genital piercing. While you can see a nose ring, lip ring or belly ring, only an inconspicuous metal detector would let you know there was genital piercing.With the popularity increasing, more and more people who cringe at the thought cannot figure out why someone would actually do "it." It is not secret that Prince Albert had a ring to keep things in place during formal occasions.
Apparently the Victorian population he was exposed to caused frequent arousal.There are legends that abound about Arabs, Greeks or African cultures that pierced their genitalia routinely. There are also legends that say nipple rings began with the Romans to keep their toga in place. Not true for the most part.While it is general practice in some cultures, its popularity is recent and Western. Studies have been done to determine the age of the genital piercing ritual.
Most of the newfangled names came about in the 1970's in Europe and the United States. No ancient rights of passage are involved in the history of genital piercing.Those who disapprove or are uncomfortable with the piercing want to believe it came from ancient times in far away places, but that is not the case. It is not something that is restricted to tribal rituals, but to piercing parlors all over Europe and the US.During the 19th century those of European society began having genitals pierced.
The husband of Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, is said to have had that "dressing ring" described earlier.After WWII it's popularity increased. Its popularity did not ebb until the 70's with the punk movement and some SM and gay cultures. From Los Angeles to the mainstream of America, the practice grew.Types of Genital PiercingSome credit needs to be given to some of the piercers.
They can get quite creative when the need is there. They are happy to create any number of jewels and holes for clients.Women get the vertical clitoral hood most often. It is easy to do and quick to heal. Owners claim it is fun to have. The piercing is directly above the clitoris and stimulates it at times. There are other variations but physical dimensions prohibit the use of some.
If women have large enough labia, they too can be pierced.Men, on the other hand have quite a selection of places to choose from. One of the most popular is still the Prince Albert. While common, the fact that it goes through the urethra and out the glans makes it messy to urinate standing up. There is also a popularity for piercing between the anus and scrotum and between the anus and the loose skin on the underside of the penis, the frenum.You won't hear about it or see it often, but it is being done on a fairly regular basis.
The Gauntlet in Los Angeles, was a forerunner in the genital piercing business. They have created and studied the whys and wherefores of the motivation of their clients.
While body piercing has been noticed more and more through the years, the reasons were obvious. A nose ring, eyebrow ring or lip or tongue ring was to draw attention to the person pierced. Genital piercing, on the other hand isn't seen except by the person and a select few.It is totally a secret happening. It doesn't make up the basis for cocktail party chatter or other social events. It would be like buying a mink coat and only wearing it at home.
Not exactly the norm, by any means.The common motivation, according to Angel, former manager of the Gauntlet is sexual. Penal implants can increase stimulation for the persons partner. Vertical clitoral hoods (VCH) stimulates the person that is pierced. Couples often get piercings that are compatible with each other. Women who have difficulties achieving orgasm have had better success with a VCH, according to Angel.
There are those naysayers that claim that genital piercing is merely a form of masochism. They feel there could be no other reason to stick a needle through such a sensitive portion of the anatomy. There are psychiatrists and psychologists to categorize it as a form of cutting or other self-destructive behavior.
According to professional body piercers, this is not the case. They do not believe that it has anything to do with masochism. The reasoning is that it isn't that painful. The terms sting or pinch are more appropriate than pain when describing piercing. The purpose of genital piercing is for increased pleasure not pain or prevention of sex.There are devotees that believe there is a possible spiritual component to the practice.
They will claim that modern society has destroyed many rites of passage from the old times. This is unfounded when you consider that it is not a "ceremony" but a private moment. It does not involve society as a whole, but merely the recipient. That is not what a "rite of passage" is.There are certain risks involved in genital piercing.
The problem is determining the degree of risk. It is not an easy subject to study. There is a possibility that there are side effects that have not, as yet, come to light. As the numbers of people getting pierced increases, the risks will become better known.The most common side effect is infection.
This is the result of improper technique. Either the instruments are not sterilized properly or the area to be pierced has not been adequately cleansed. The reputation of the studio is important. By investigating the habits of the piercers, you may be able to determine and prevent the possibility of life threatening disease. Things such as hepatitis, HIV and other STD's can be passed through the process.
Some genital piercing can result in scarring or narrowing of the urethra. Improperly performed it can also cause impotency. Bleeding is another side effect, but some blood in the area is good, as it promotes healing. Most important is finding a professional who has had vast experience in genital piercing. It's difficult to ask for references, but it is important to know the piercer's track record.

In all of my classes, my goal is to foster improved communication through language, promote cross-cultural awareness and respect, and prepare students for their lives as global citizens. I work to enrich a student's ability to read, think about, and discuss literature with a new critical awareness of their aesthetic, cultural, and historical significance.
See my Areas of Expertise under the biography tab – these are also my research interests. Teaching invigorates my research as I present and discuss topics in different ways to new audiences with broad perspectives.

1903 was a banner year for aircraft development, and Stafford County was on the bleeding edge of it. On December 17, Orville and Wilbur Wright had the first successful manned flight of a mechanical, heavier-than-air machine at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. But two months before that, on October 7, Samuel Pierpont Langley—with the blessings of Smithsonian—launched his design at Widewater in Stafford County. The only problem was, the well-funded flight crashed, dooming Langley's dreams of being first in flight.
Kate Waller Barrett (1857-1925), gently-raised daughter of a prominent Stafford County family, was confronted as a young woman by a heart-wrenching scene that played out before her in her home. It stirred her heart and propelled her into a public life. The humanitarian work inspired by Kate Waller Barrett's experience led eventually to established shelters and services across this country and abroad known generally as the Florence Crittenton Mission.

With school just around the corner schedules are changing and so are eating habits. After summer, children move back to stricter schedules, which has many of them skipping the most important meal of the day--breakfast.
"Children that don't eat breakfast often don't think as well during the day. They're not as on top of things and [it] makes studying and learning very difficult," said Dietitian Erika J. Zeff.
It's not just over eating during at night, but also pigging out on snacks. More importantly eating the wrong kind of snacks in the wrong kind of amounts.
"I say everything in moderation. Nothing is completely off limits but portion sizes are very important especially when it comes to snaking because its the snack foods that people tend to overeat on," said Zeff.
"For his lunch he gets juice and a bagel, or a sandwich like turkey or something like that and maybe some fruit," said parent Jim Pisano.
Dieticians suggest a main entree, side, and veggie. Sides include cheese or low-fat yogurt and main entree?es can be creative.
"The best things to do with sandwiches is to vary the bread. You might have two slices of bread or you might have pita bread or use small wraps. You can make low-fat burritos, you can make low-fat wraps, you can do pita pizzas," said Zeff.
Children enjoy interactive eating. You can take veggies and dip them in light dressings or fruit in low-fat yogurt.
Charlottesville in particular has focused on getting healthier food into the schools vending machines.

Google's social net to launch tomorrow
Tomorrow, Google will launch its new social networking API, called OpenSocial, with a host of high-value social networking players already at the party. The most significant of these players are LinkedIn, Salesforce, and Orkut, who've all been around quite a while and have substantial vertical popularity: LinkedIn in the business work, Salesforce in CRM applications, and Orkut as a South-American MySpace-killer. Even Friendster, which has become a sort-of also-ran with a great brand name, has joined the party. Perhaps these relatively peripheral social nets see Google as their ticket to competing with MySpace and Facebook.
Like Facebook, Google's API will provide participants with options for dealing with user profiles and events. But unlike Facebook, OpenSocial will really on commonplace JavaScript to do the API's bidding. Facebook uses it's own "FBML" specification, which means it can't be used off of the Facebook system. Google's intention is to get as many third-party social nets supporting OpenSocial as possible. And developers will flock to anything that saves them from having to re-develop their widgets for a dozen different social nets.

Nehru Cup 2009: India 3-1 Sri Lanka
India led 1-0 at half-time thanks to a Bhaichung Bhutia goal and although Sri Lanka restored parity just after the hour mark, Gauramangi Singh and Steven Dias scored further into the second period to secure a 3-1 victory for India.
India made one change to the squad as Surkumar Singh came in place of Deepak Mandal while Sri Lanka's S. Dimudu coming back after a sending off in the first match.
India made a bright start to the game as they looked to pressurize the Sri Lankans early on. Their plan worked as the Islanders succumbed to the pressure.
It all began in the second minute of the match when Climax Lawrence's chip saw Anthony Pereira through on goal but Lankan defender Dinesh cleared the ball out of danger
India continued their forage into the Sri Lankan half as the Indian midfielders found their touch after missing it in the earlier games. A Steven Dias free-kick in the 6th minute was punched away by the Sri Lankan custodian.
India thought that they had taken the lead in the 13th minute when a Steven Dias free-kick was headed home by Sunil Chhetri. But it was flagged offside, much to the chagrin of the fans gathered at the Ambedkar Stadium.
Full back Surkumar Singh then released Steven Dias with the latter's shot from inside the Lankan penalty area hitting the crossbar.
It was once again the combination of Surkumar and Steven Dias on the right that played a crucial part in breaking the deadlock. Surkumar found Steven, whose cross saw Bhaichung Bhutia head into the net in the 25th minute. This was the Indian skipper's second goal of the tournament.
The Sri Lankans could never again find their rhythm for the rest of the first-half as India demonstrated their superior class with no mercy.
Bhutia soon had a great chance to double India's lead when from an Indian clearance he got away from the marker. However, in his attempt to chip the ball over the head of the Lankan 'keeper Kumara,, he chipped the ball over the crossbar.
Towards the final stages of the first-match full-back Surkumar Singh received a needless yellow card when he made a challenge on Mohideen. Sri Lankan, though, couldn't do anything from the resulting free-kick.
Both teams started the second half on a bright note with Sri Lanka trying to equalize and India trying to double their lead. The Bhangra Boys could have done so had Bhaichung Bhutia's header off a Surkumar Singh's cross not struck the frame of the Sri Lankan goal.
India continued to march forward and NP Pradeep played a crucial role everytime India did so. However, things didn't go as expected as the Sri Lankans found a way back through and got back into the game.
In the 62nd minute W. Ruwanthilake outjumped Anwar and headed home a Mohideen corner as the Indian defence looked shaky for once.
But India didn't buckle down and made their intentions clear immediately after conceding the goal. Bhutia won a free-kick and it was taken by Stevn Dias. But Lankan 'keeper brilliantly blocked it.
Soon after Surkumar Singh ran from inside his own half into the opposition's 18-yard box, taking on several Sri Lankan bodies. However, he was blocked at the crucial point by Warakagoda.
But before long India surged ahead for the second time in the match. Mahesh Gawli earned a free-kick on the left and Dias took it brilliantly. NP Pradeep struck it but Kumara blocked his shot.
Fortunately for India, the ball fell to a lurking Gauramangi Singh who tapped in India's second goal.
The Men in Blue did not stop thereafter and continued to threaten the Lankan backline as Pradeep's right-footer hit the post.
Star of the day Steven Dias added his name on the scoresheet when released by Pradeep on the right, he took a shot that found the Lankan net.
That Steven Dias goal sealed a 3-1 victory for hosts India. This win should silent their critics who had been questioning their performances especially after their opening day loss.

COLUMN: Does 'the three men I admire most' include pope?
A SINFUL nature, much enhanced by diligent practice, explains my interest in the world's religions. So far none especially reassures me, though I like my chances in Buddhism as a next-life Sheltie. Combined with 13 years of fieldwork—my marriage to a Roman Catholic—this spiritual exploration equips me to make certain statements about the pope.
On the one hand:
- The pope is elected following the prayerful deliberation of church cardinals, who are in the main, surely, good and pious men.
- Speaking ex cathedra—i.e., with the authority of his position—the pope is the absolute law in matters of church doctrine (which makes, say, "Catholics for Choice" a dopey non sequitur).
- As influential figures in Christendom go, besides the pope the archbishop of Canterbury is a pygmy; Rick Warren, Franklin Graham, and Joel Osteen could dangle from a pontifical charm bracelet.
On the other hand:
The pope is not divine. Godis divine, Jesus is divine, the Holy Spirit is divine. The Virgin Mary, according to Catholic teaching, has divine qualities—e.g., sinlessness. The pope makes no such claim.
- In terms of holiness, the pope is normally inferior to a saint. Most saints—officially, the holiest humans—were not popes, and most popes were not saints. Some popes, especially in the old days, were scoundrels. I give you Pope John XII. Reigning from 955–964, he killed and mutilated political enemies and died in the act of cuckoldry.
And hands aside:
- The pope likely has a sense of humor. In fact, the lame-duck pontiff, Benedict XVI, suggests that it is mandatory. "'Humor,'" he once wrote, "is a barometer of faith." Verily, is it that hard to imagine the affable Pope John Paul II, on the spit at a Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, cracking up at a Flip Wilson Pollock joke?
Some readers who wrote to object to The Free Lance–Star's Feb. 14 editorial cartoon on Benedict, showing him in retirement as a greeter at Walmart, are evidently more Catholic than the pope, who I imagine would have chuckled at the rather gentle caricature.
I don't fault the religiously orthodox for defending their church, however. It gets kicked around a lot in today's popular culture and finds few fast friends in the mainstream media. Most reporters and editors, in my tumbleweed experience, are secularists (heathens, semantically perfumed), agnostics, mainline Protestants of the "social gospel" persuasion, non-observant Jews, and lapsed Catholics. The kinetic Pentecostal, the Rosary-saying Catholic, the Jew who keeps kosher—in most newsrooms, these species are as exotic as Komodo dragons. Reporters do stories about such people; they rarely work with them.
To be visibly religious at a modern newspaper is typically to be thought strange, or primitive, or—since conservative faith and conservative politics usually coincide—slightly suspect. Catholicism, because it stands—majestically, in my view—against the temper of the times, is especially disdained (though not at this newspaper). As proof, consider the cartoons, reprinted here, which we did not use. They appeared on the Cagle website, our main cartoon source, within a day or two after Benedict announced his retirement plans. All are disparaging or worse.
First cartoon: Daryl Cagle thinks that all candidates for the papacy are just the same—the very definition of stereotyping. Second: David Fitzsimmons heaps on mean and witless ridicule. Third: Olle Johansson has the pope tossing his pastoral staff into a trash can, a distasteful image. And, fourth, Adam Zyglis' sinister-visaged Benedict, under a caustic caption, appears in need of an exorcism.
And some Catholics were upset by the Walmart cartoon?
There is no such thing in Catholic teaching as the Holy Quadrinity, and trying to create one by inserting the pope into the Godhead is heresy. He is a man—a very special man, indeed, the Vicar of Christ by Roman belief—but not one immunized from good-natured levity. If you want that kind of holy man, you're in the wrong faith. Try Mohammed.
Who first poked fun at a pope? Perhaps the same figure who, looking at Peter, declared, "Upon this rock I will build my church."
Paul Akers is editor of the opinion pages of The Free Lance–Star.

Consumer spending rose in March by the largest amount in five months but the gains were financed out of savings, which fell to the lowest level in 18 months. A modest rise in incomes added to concerns that the recovery could weaken unless income growth increases more rapidly.
The Commerce Department says consumer spending rose 0.6 percent in March, matching economists' expectations. Personal incomes edged up just 0.3 percent, raising new worries about lackluster income growth.
The March surge in spending was financed out of savings, which drove the personal savings rate down to 2.7 percent of after-tax incomes, the lowest level since September 2008.
