This still means that Sarvastivada is the gold standard for Mahāyāna authors. The Mahāvibhaṣa was the dominant abhidharma text in India for centuries. The only reason Vasubandhu's Kośa became so famous is that he did such and excellent job of summarizing it's many details in a short form.
There was an attempt by Tibetans to translate the Mahāvibhaṣa, but according to tradition, only Bagor Vairocana was capable of finishing his section. This translation supposedly still existed as of early twentieth century.
I heard a couple of years ago (at Mangalam in Berkeley IIRC) that HHDL had asked a scholar lama to make a new translation, and that it had been undertaken. Though, nobody seemed to have any news on how progress was going. Obviously, it would have been Chinese --> Tibetan translation. Maybe Ven Sangpo at Gampo will start on this next, after his remake of the Kosa translation (he said wishfully...)

Download the lyrics and join in Sunday's 10th annual musical celebration, featuring Noel Paul Stookey from Peter, Paul and Mary and jazz musican Stan Strickland.
When Noel Paul Stookey starts singing "This Land is Your Land'' beside the Charles River, audience members at Revels RiverSing will be invited to join in and celebrate the Autumnal Equinox with music that promotes a sense of community and social change.
On Sunday, Sept. 22, at 6 p.m., Stookey – an original member of the legendary folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary – will join with poets, puppeteers and street performers to mark RiverSing's 10th anniversary with an open air celebration that bids farewell to summer with song, dance and wondrous whimsy.
For 90 minutes, Stookey and local musicians will lead the audience through 19 songs including favorites like "Michael, Row the Boat Ashore,'' "Ol' Man River'' and "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot'' to observe the changing seasons and the promise of renewal.
"Taking part in Revels RiverSing was a way for me to remind people of our commonality,'' he said from his home in Maine. "In an era of suspicion, disrespect and general unease about the world, I felt RiverSing would provide a wonderful opportunity to remind people we are a family.''
Promising "a magical night of music, song and celebration,'' RiverSing begins at 5 p.m. in Winthrop Park in Harvard Square with family activities, hula-hooping and the foot-stomping New Orleans style music of the Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society Brass Band of Cambridge.
At 5:45 p.m., a festive Parade to the River will wind its way to the Charles like a caravan of musical theater.
Starting at 6 p.m. by the Weeks Footbridge, RiverSing will welcome the coming of "cooler, darker days'' with 90 minutes of communal song.
Organizer George Emlen called RiverSing "a beautiful collaboration'' that began in 2004 between the Charles River Conservancy and Revels, a nonprofit performing arts company with a national reach.
Now Revels' music director, he said the celebration attracted 3,000 attendees last year. Emlen said, "With Noel Paul Stookey, we're hoping for four to five thousand people,'' he said. "He's very impassioned and still committed to social causes. And he's a very engaging person and performer.''
Emlen said the lyrics for RiverSing's 19 songs can be downloaded from its website, www.revels.org.
He said RiverSing has grown into a popular local tradition because it preserves communal bonds though music that've been disappearing from peoples' lives.
"There's nothing like singing together. As a society, that's something we've sadly lost,'' said Emlen. "When people sing together, it creates a very, very moving chemistry that's builds bridges. That's why people keep coming back for RiverSing.''
Revels artistic director Patrick "Paddy'' Swanson promised "exciting theatrical'' acts during the pre-show at Winthrop Park, including poetry readings by members of Actors' Shakespeare Project, verse by poet Lo Galluccio, acrobats from Moonship Productions and Gabriel Q's illuminated butterflies. Providing pageantry and fantasy, Sara Peattie's Puppeteers Cooperative will provide a colorful dragon – "larger than a real kodomo dragon,'' a custom built River Puppet and Big Summer, a 12-foot tall "sun-faced lady in a blue costume'' manipulated by three puppeteers who'll take her place by the stage.
Swanson, who helped create the first RiverSing with Emlen and Renata von Tscharner, of the Charles River Conservancy, predicted one of the night's "magical'' highlights will be the arrival of jazz master Stan Strickland floating down the Charles River on an illuminated Sun-Moon boat playing his saxophone.
He said RiverSing's fusion of theater and music creates "a liberating environment.''
"We live in an age of extreme irony, lots of TV screens and earphones in which many people have a horror of getting together in a group and expressing their feelings,'' he said. "RiverSing creates a safe space where people can sing together and that's a healing experience.''
Revels was established in 1971 by the late John Langstaff as a vehicle to fuse "music, dances and seasonal rituals from an older world to a modern world that needs them.''
Emlen said Stookey provides a powerful link to the community-centered, spiritual music that fueled those traditions.
Starting in 1961, Stookey performed with Peter, Paul and Mary until Mary Travers' death in 2009 and has since focused on his solo career, releasing several albums, including "One & Many'' in 2012.
Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Peter, Paul and Mary were among the premier folk group, known for their soulful harmonies and early opposition to the Vietnam War.
Despite enormous changes in public taste, Stookey said he never lost faith in music's power to affect social change.
"I don't believe the music of social change went away. It might be filtered through pop music or hip-hop but it's still asking probing questions and calling for justice,'' he said.
After opening with Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land,'' Stookey said he'll "lead some songs,'' including "One and Many'' from his recent album and "participate in others.''
Near the event's end, he'll sing amended verses he wrote for Katharine Lee Bates classic "America, the Beautiful'' that recognize the contributions of immigrants and Native Americans, "Whose loyal families labor still / That we may live as one."
Before joining Peter, Paul and Mary, Stookey said, "I always thought music would be a hobby.''
He called singing songs by Woody Guthrie and Oscar Hammerstein to thousands of people "a humbling experience.''
"But one of the enduring lessons I learned is so many kinds of music are loaded with community concern'' he said. "I've come to realize over time music doesn't just entertain but it can educate and inspire.''

Laryngitis is swelling and irritation (inflammation) of the voice box (larynx).Laryngitis is usually associated with
Alternative NamesHoarseness
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The voice box (larynx) is located at the top of the airway to the lungs (trachea). The larynx contains the vocal cords. When the vocal cords become inflamed or infected, they swell. This can cause hoarseness. Sometimes the airway can getblocked.
The most common form of laryngitis is an infection caused by a virus, such as cold or flu viruses. It may also be caused by:
- Bacterial infection
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Injury
- Irritants and chemicals
Laryngitis often occurs with an
Several forms of laryngitis occur in children that can lead to dangerous or fatal respiratory blockage. These forms include:
Croup Epiglottitis
- Fever
- Hoarseness
- Swollen lymph nodes or glands in the neck
Signs and tests
A physical exam can findwhether hoarseness is caused by a respiratory tract infection.
Patients with hoarseness that lasts more than a month (especially smokers) will need to see an ear, nose, and throat doctor (otolaryngologist) for tests of the throat and upper airway.
Common laryngitis is often caused by a virus, thereforeantibiotics likely willnot help. Your health care provider will make this decision.
Resting your voice helpsto reduce inflammation of the vocal cords. A humidifier may soothe the scratchy feeling that comes with laryngitis. Decongestants and pain medicinesmay relieve the symptoms of an upper respiratory infection.
Expectations (prognosis)
Laryngitis that is not caused by a serious conditionoftengets better on its own.
In rare cases, severe respiratory distress develops. This requires immediatemedical attention.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if:
- A small child who is not teething has difficulty breathing, swallowing, or is
- A child less than 3 months old has hoarseness
- Hoarseness has lasted for more than 1 week in a child, or 2 weeks in an adult
- Try to avoid people who have upper respiratory infections during cold and flu season.
- Wash your hands often.
- Do not strain your voice.
- Stopping smokingcan help prevent tumors of the head and neck or lungs, whichcan lead to hoarseness.

Alibi Flashback: Hey Kids! Comics!
Two-fisted words and pictures team-up was an annual tradition
Tony Millionaire
Picture this: Back in the day, Alibi produced an annual comic-centric issue. It featured columns illustrated by many of the talented cartoonists with which we've worked. This was labor-intensive, time-consuming and really hard to do on a deadline. The result, however,was some of our favorite copy.

Coming of the Dragon
Rebecca Barnhouse
When he was a baby, Rune washed up onshore in a boat, along with a sword and a pendant bearing the runes that gave him his nickname. Some people thought he was a sacrifice to the gods and wanted to send him right back to the sea. Luckily for Rune, King Beowulf disagreed. He lifted the boy from the boat and gave him to Amma, a wisewoman living on a farm far removed from the king's hall, to raise as she saw fit.
Sixteen years later, Rune spends his summers laboring on the farm. And at King Beowulf's request, he comes to the hall each winter for weapons training. But somehow he never quite fits in. Many people still fear he will bring a curse on the kingdom. Then a terrible thing happens. On a lonely crag on a mountain that belongs to the giants, someone awakens a dragon. It is time for Rune to find the warrior inside himself and prove to the doubters once and for all that he is a true hero.

How They Croaked: The Awful Ends of the Awfully Famous
Georgia Bragg
Over the course of history men and women have lived and died. In fact, getting sick and dying can be a big, ugly mess—especially before the modern medical care that we all enjoy today. How They Croaked relays all the gory details of how nineteen world figures gave up the ghost. For example: It is believed that Henry VIII's remains exploded within his coffin while lying in state. Doctors "treated" George Washington by draining almost 80 ounces of blood before he finally kicked the bucket. Right before Beethoven wrote his last notes, doctors drilled a hole in his stomach without any pain medication. Readers will be interested well past the final curtain, and feel lucky to live in a world with painkillers, X-rays, soap, and 911.

FAIRFIELD -- The pain was still fresh, the grieving process just beginning when Sacred Heart athletic director Bobby Valentine made a suggestion that almost immediately rallied the entire Pioneer athletic family.
Longtime and recently retired athletic director Don Cook was dealing with the heartbreaking loss of his son, Christopher, to cancer, and the grief that Cook was feeling had to be close to unbearable. So Valentine wanted to make sure that Cook wasn't alone in dealing with this sadness. Cook's pain was SHU's pain, and rather than mourn a loss, Valentine wanted to celebrate a life.
For some time now, Valentine has been a spokesperson -- and a rider -- for the CT Challenge bicycle ride. The bike ride funds the Challenge's Center for Survivorship in Southport that provides support services and nutrition and exercise education for cancer survivors.
Last fall, during a brief time before Chris Cook's cancer returned, Valentine would go to the Center for Survivorship in Southport and take part in the wellness programs. So why not honor Chris Cook's life by raising money and volunteering at the upcoming 10th annual Challenge ride, set for Friday and Saturday? And that's just what the Pioneers are doing.
"After Christopher's passing, it seemed to be a natural fit to get a group from Sacred Heart University and we ride in the CT Challenge," Valentine said. "We want to give honor to those that have survived and also to Christopher, whose memory will live on."
Cook was just 48 years old when cancer took him on April 14. He was a vice president and general manager at Hitachi Capital America in Norwalk, and he enjoyed photography and especially fishing. He played baseball at Fairfield University from 1985-88, posting a career .320 batting average, which is the 14th highest in school history. His career on-base percentage of .436 is sixth best overall. He continued playing baseball with the New Canaan Senior Baseball League with the Cannons until 2012, when doctors first discovered a tumor on his tonsil.
"It was 34 days of radiation and intervals of chemo," Don Cook said. "And he got to the other side of it. In fact, the following September (2013), he was declared cancer-free. It was during that time that he went to the Center for Survivorship and got support from the group. He did that for a little while."
But then, doctors discovered another tumor near his esophagus.
"They removed it robotically but they discovered more `suspicious' cells, and whenever you hear that word `suspicious,' you know what that means," Cook said. "From there, unfortunately, he went downhill. But he got a lot of joy and self-satisfaction in going down there (to the Center for Survivorship)."
The day Cook died happened to be Tiana Williams' birthday. She had been on the job just one week as SHU's Director of Promotions, Game-Day Operations and Event Management when Valentine mentioned the Challenge. Williams jumped in with both feet.
"This was something that was right up my alley," she said. "We felt this would be a perfect opportunity to do something. Hearing (Chris') story and knowing how much the entire Sacred Heart community loves Don and his family, this would be a great idea to get everyone involved.
"A lot of people were grieving -- `How can we show our support?' -- and Bobby mentioned that the CT Challenge was an organization that Chris attended and it helped him mentally, so it made perfect sense to jump in and raise money for the Challenge."
"When I was first contacted about this," Don Cook said, "they asked me if I would mind if they did this in Christopher's name, and I was absolutely honored and thrilled that they would even think to do that. This is so special. I've really been touched by everything."
The Pioneers set a goal of raising $10,000 and are already close to $9,000 in pledges, according to Williams. There are close to two dozen "virtual" riders working to raise money, along with several actual riders -- including Valentine, who is slated to ride 25 miles, and Pioneers wrestling coach Andy Lausier, who is biking 100 miles.
Even Cook himself is going to ride the 10-mile loop, using Chris' bike and helmet.
"My daughter-in-law (Camilla) suggested that I take Chris' bike," Cook said. "It's a great way to stay close to him so that's what I'm going to do."
There is also going to be a "Team SHU Rest Stop" somewhere along the route, with upwards of 25 volunteers helping the estimated 600 to 700 riders that will be biking the course. They will wear matching T-Shirts designed by a friend of Chris' to show their support and honor his memory.
"Don has been such a big part of our athletic family here," Valentine said. "Just to be associated with Don brings out the best in all of us."

"Intel just announced that it has identified a bug in the 6-series chipset, specifically in its SATA controller. Intel states that 'In some cases, the Serial-ATA ports within the chipsets may degrade over time, potentially impacting the performance or functionality of SATA-linked devices such as hard disk drives and DVD-drives'. The fix requires new hardware, which means you will have to exchange your motherboard for a new one. Intel hasn't posted any instructions on how the recall will be handled other than to contact Intel via its support page or contact the manufacturer of your hardware directly."

I also think you can divide all men into whether they fancy the blonde one or the brunette one in Abba.
What else do we know about Sweden apart from Ikea and Hennes?
Scandinavian food was designated a hot food trend for 2011. In the UK cooks such as Trine Hahneman (Denmark) and Signe Johanssen (Norwegian) and Jamie Oliver have led the way in spreading the Scandi gospel. Noma, a Danish restaurant, has replaced El Bulli as the most influential restaurant for young ambitious chefs. This year Scandinavian chefs won all three top places at the international chef's competition Bocuse d'Or.
Regarding my personal relationship with Sweden, I have a curious story to tell, one which will, as usual, show that I'm not your average food blogger. In fact some readers may even think me "bonkers" (as seen in the Sunday Times).
I've always been fascinated by the occult and decided, upon finding out that my acupuncturist practised past life regression, to ask for a session.
I laid on the couch while she hypnotised me for the first time ever. This took the form of being asked to visualise walking through a garden down into a basement corridor. I pictured, on request, several doorways. I was instructed to open the door to my oldest memory. I saw myself laying in a cot in a dim flat. My mother picked me up. The acupuncturist asked me questions continually:
'What do you see now?' 'How do you feel?'.
I felt obligated to come up with some kind of response, a story. I felt vaguely embarrassed, like I was making it up. I remained perfectly conscious. I had always imagined that hypnosis would somehow render you unaware of your surroundings.
The acupuncturist asked me to go further back: to an older life. It was a struggle to reply but eventually I 'saw' a tennis court. I was playing.
'Who are you with?' I was asked.
'A man'. I replied.
The questions kept coming, dutifully I pieced together a story in which I was a rich society tennis player in the 20s. I was also gay. (I was Navratilova in a flapper dress?)
My death consisted of bright lights, hospital, possibly a car crash. Then I zipped back in time to another life; a nun gardening. The nun didn't have much to say for herself. My answers came even more slowly. I continued to feel like a fraud.
Suddenly I found myself breathing very deeply, more deeply than I have ever breathed in real life. My body seemed to expand, I felt muscular and strong. My conscious self registered that I had changed gender; I was a man. It felt brilliant, like I could leap over buildings. Physically, I felt completely transformed. This time I wasn't making it up, the answers came easily: my name was Kerstin Red Eyes, I was a Viking in England. I had a beautiful blonde wife with Rapunzel style plaits back in Sweden. I came to England as a soldier but once we conquered and settled I became a prosperous farmer.
After this 'life' the session was over. I had 'been under' for over two hours although it felt like half an hour. I couldn't explain what had happened.
Was I Swedish in a former life? Did this explain my liking for salty liquorice, sweet dill pickles, herrings and gravadlax?
This last week I spent five days in Sweden, in Stockholm and Gothenburg, visiting supper clubs and learning about Swedish culture and food. Here is my report: some of it is even true.
Day 1: StockholmI arrive at Stockholm airport. Giant posters of Bjorn Borg, Abba and Stieg Larsson welcome me. Taking the express train to central Stockholm, it's only 3pm but sunset is already reddening the sky. I walk past the 'ice bar' to my hotel the Scandic Grand Central hotel where they had prepared a 'bloggers room' for me. An interesting concept, they had provided an ipad, a tripod and a laptop tray for use in bed. Outside my window glowed a giant light display of melting ice. The entire hotel, only open since August this year, was enveloped in velvety black:
"for the last decade, the fashion has been for pale furnishings and lightness, we wanted to turn this into an urban theatre with dark colours" explained the hotel representative.
Taking the lift up to my room, I notice many guests are in full evening dress. Across town the Nobel prizes were being awarded. A Stockholm restaurant offers the possibility of choosing any Nobel prize menu since 1901.
Self-medicating loner that I am, I chew the rest of my salty liquorice until my teeth feel loose while watching back-to-back subtitled English language films: Four Weddings and a Funeral, Godfather II, The Queen (which always makes me cry). No wonder the Swedes speak great English.
Day 2: Christmas Market in StockholmI wake late with a sore tongue and a blocked nose and just manage to get down for breakfast before they close at 11am! The time difference and travel fatigue (plus doing a supper club on Friday night till late) has got to me. Breakfast is typically Scandinavian: an extensive buffet of cheeses, ham, pickles, muesli, yoghurt, fruit, different kinds of bread and crispbread, eggs, mushrooms, bacon. Of course I'd brought along a small pot of Marmite. I also make myself a sandwich for later from cottage cheese and sweet pickles.
Outside technically is daytime but the sky is overcast and grey. We are nearing December 21st and Stockholm has about five hours of daylight per day. I walk to the old town area, pretty with cobbled streets. Every cafe, shop and most residences have candles in their windows, often the seven branched wooden candelabra, the Advent candlestick.
'Yes it's very far' he says. 'How far?' 'Fifteen minutes' 'Fifty minutes?' I repeat, assuming I've misheard. 'No, fifteen minutes'. 'That's not far.''We think it is'.
'I can't drive you up to the 10th floor. This is Stockholm, not a Harry Potter movie.'

An affiliate of Chicago-based construction material supplier Lafarge North America has sold the industrial property at 2459 Channel Ave. on Presidents Island to two buyers for a combined $2.8 million.
Lafarge West Inc. sold the property, which has waterfront access on McKellar Lake, in two Oct. 10 special warranty deeds. Lafarge sold about 14 acres of the property to Cargill Inc. for $1.5 million and about 23 acres to Superior Bulk Logistics Inc. for 1.3 million.
Lafarge had acquired the property in 2011 for $2.8 million from Martin Marietta Materials Inc.
The industrial property contains a 7,483-square-foot warehouse and office building that was constructed in 1962; the parcel has a 2013 appraised value of $1.7 million, according to the Shelby County Assessor of Property.
No financing was associated with the purchases.

Nashville-based NovaCopy is seeking a tax freeze to expand to a larger building and add 30 employees.
The paper- and copier-supplies company plans to leave its location at Shelby Oaks to build a $4.8 million, 33,000-square-foot facility near Appling Farms and Whitten roads in Memphis, the company said in application to the Economic Development Growth Engine of Memphis and Shelby County.
The EDGE board will meet Wednesday, Oct. 16, to vote on the company's request for a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) freeze.
NovaCopy said its current facility could not accommodate the company's growing workforce and 3D-printing business.
The project would save the company $402,959 in taxes over the four-year PILOT term while creating $580,776 in new tax revenue for the city and county
The average wage for the 30 new jobs is estimated to be $44,133.
NovaCopy has been in growth mode, acquiring two businesses over the past year, one in Jackson, Tenn., and another in Missouri. NovaCopy also has operations in Chattanooga, Knoxville and Dallas. The company also is discussing a new acquisition in Little Rock.
"If NovaCopy chooses the Jackson or Little Rock location, it will still remain active in Memphis, but instead of doubling its space it will reduce it by 50 percent," the company said in the PILOT application. "Employment in Memphis would decrease from 50 to approximately 35, as regional headquarters would shift to the Jackson site."

Memphis-based Wunderlich Securities Inc. has initiated coverage of financial services giant Regions Financial Corp with a "buy" rating.
Wunderlich also has put a 12- to 18-month price target of $12 on Regions shares.
"Although Regions suffered significant losses during the credit crisis and was late to the recovery game, management's return to banking basics by simplifying the playbook and focusing on blocking and tackling is starting to pay off for Regions' shareholders," reads Wunderlich's first analyst commentary about Regions. "With Regions shares trading at a meaningful discount to peers, we believe current levels offer an attractive opportunity for investors to acquire shares of one of the few remaining recovery stories that also happens to operate in the most populous and fastest-growing economic regions in the U.S."
South Korean tire-maker Hankook announced Monday that it will build its first North American plant in Tennessee, creating 1,800 jobs.
Hankook, the world's seventh-largest tire maker, said it will build the $800 million facility in Clarksville. Construction on the 1.5 million-square-foot facility is scheduled to begin by the end of next year, and it will begin making high-end performance tires by early 2016.
Seung Hwa Suh, Hankook's vice chairman and CEO, called the construction of the U.S. plant "the next natural phase for our continued growth." He told reporters that the decision to locate in Tennessee was the result of a year of discussions with state officials, and he cited the central location and existing auto industry as major factors.
"Tennessee is the center of America," he said. "From a logistical point of view, this is a very good location for us to distribute tires to American consumers."
Nissan, General Motors and Volkswagen have assembly plants in Tennessee, and more than 900 further automotive sector companies are active in the state. Ford, GM and Toyota build vehicles in neighboring Kentucky.
"By supplying to major carmakers, our brand is getting better known in America," Suh said. The company supplies Ford, GM, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, along with Korean automakers Hyundai and Kia.
Clarksville is also home to a steel cord plant for Japanese tire maker Bridgestone, which has its Americas headquarters in Nashville.
Not all the news has been good for the tire industry in Tennessee in recent years. Goodyear in 2011 shut its plant about 100 miles to the west in Union City, causing 1,800 workers to lose their jobs.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam said officials showed Hankook several locations in the state.
The state offered $72 million in incentives to improve infrastructure, training and a cultural program to help Korean families integrate into the community. Local governments approved another package worth $50 million.

Beginning this month, prescriptions for opioid pain medicines and benzodiazepine medicines may not be dispensed in Tennessee in quantities that exceed a 30-day supply.
The new limits apply to anyone dispensing the drugs. That includes pharmacies, dispensaries and mail-order programs located outside the state.
According to the Tennessee Department of Health, some of the drugs limited under the new law are Lortab, Oxycontin, Percocet, Xanax and Valium.
For Schedule II medicines, each 30-day supply requires a new prescription. For other drugs, a single prescription can be refilled in 30-day increments for up to six months.
The new law is part of a statewide effort to reduce prescription drug abuse.
Tennesseans who need help with a drug problem can call the Tennessee REDLINE at 1-800-889-9789.
Arkansas finance officials say nearly 1,100 state employees are on furlough because of the federal government shutdown, but say that number could change as they double-check figures with individual agencies.
Richard Weiss, director of the state Department of Finance and Administration, on Monday said that 1,089 state employees whose positions are paid for with federal funds were idled because of the shutdown that began Oct. 1. State agencies were warned last week that the number of furloughs would rise since Arkansas no longer had the resources to cover for the federal programs affected.
Weiss says the number of idled workers could change as his department checks figures provided by agencies and as agencies review whether they can use leftover grant money to pay employees.

Mumbai: He hails from the small town of Allahabad, but has made it big like no other. Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, known worldwide for his acting prowess, believes it always helps to stay close to one`s roots.
The 70-year-old feels it is important that everyone remembers the beginning of their career as it helps them to face tough times.
"Many beginnings of our lives are easily forgotten when there has been extreme progress ... in our condition. I believe being in honest touch with your start up days, it`s circumstances and conditions keeps one grounded with reality," Big B wrote on his blog.
Amitabh has given the film industry blockbusters like "Deewaar", "Don", "Sholay", "Coolie", "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham..." and "Black".
However, the actor says he went through a lot of struggle during his over four decade-old Bollywood career. He feels the lessons learnt from bad experiences always help in life.
"The humble days of yore, of hardships and how they were overcome, tests and trials, embarrassing rejections … all go to play an important role in the days to come or the present times. It is good to remember every now and then where we began from," he added.

First day enrollment is up once again at Crowder College.
First day enrollment is up once again at Crowder College.
The spring semester kicked off on Monday with a 2.33 percent increase in headcount over the same time last year, while the number of credit hours students enrolled in this semester also rose by 2.45 percent more than in January 2012.
The numbers are only preliminary, however, as several students are still enrolling to take classes this semester.
Crowder College is expected to have official enrollment numbers in mid-February. The final numbers are not available until the 20th day of the semester, and should be released after Feb. 11.
While the numbers are only an early reflection, the semester increase seems to be a trend for Crowder College.
In the fall semester of 2012, Crowder reported a first day increase of 4.63 percent in headcount and a 2.03 percent increase in credit hours enrolled in.
The final fall enrollment set a Crowder enrollment record at 5,590 students.
Jim Riggs, Crowder's director of admissions, said the enrollment increase is a reflection of the wide area that Crowder College serves.
"We've really determined that access is better than ever before," Riggs said. "Not only do we have our various sites – Nevada, Webb City, Cassville and Neosho – but we've expanded offerings at McDonald County and also offer classes in Monett, Mt. Vernon, Greenfield, Lamar and Carthage."
The college most recently broke ground in November on a new campus site in Jane, where the future McDonald County campus will be located.
Crowder also announced in December that beginning this semester they would offer additional programs in the Carthage area, due to a Public Safety Program grant.
The grant is intended to assist students studying fire science, law enforcement and emergency medical services.
Those classes are held at the Carthage Technology Center, as well as in Webb City and Carl Junction.
"That's quite a convenience for people in southwest Missouri, whether they want to continue to pursue higher education or to complete their education at Crowder," Riggs said of the college's multiple locations.
Riggs also noted that Crowder offers students many direct-to-work associates' degree programs, including in such fields as nursing and automotive technology.

Woman pushed from minivan in mall carjacking
DES MOINES, Iowa —
A carjacking was reported at Southridge Mall in Des Moines Wednesday afternoon.
A woman said she was shopping at Target when a black man told her to get into her minivan about 4 p.m.
The man jumped into the driver's seat and drove to the southwest corner of the mall before pushing the woman out of the vehicle.
The van was found about a half hour later at an apartment complex a mile from the mall on Chaffee Road. The arriving officer reported the van was empty when he arrived.
Police are investigating the incident. Anyone with information on the case should call 911 or Polk County Crime Stoppers at 515-223-1400.

For the Orthodox Christians Bright Week is the first week of the period of celebration that continues for fifty days until Pentecost.
With Bright Week the faithful begin the period to Pentecost of joyously greeting each other with the salutation of Christ is Risen and the response of Indeed He is Risen or Truly He is Risen as the whole of creation is renewed by Our Lord and Savior. The services of Bright Week are done with the Royal Doors fully open as the altar symbolize's the open door of Christ's empty tomb.

As was often the case in seasons past, a dominant blocking effort from No. 3 Brigham Young University spelled doom for No. 12 UC Santa Barbara, who fell to the Cougars by a score of 3-1 on Friday night, with game score of 28-30, 25-17, 25-16, 25-22. The Gauchos fall to 4-9 (2-7) with Friday's defeat, while BYU- winners of five straight- improve to 11-3 with a 7-2 conference record.
The Gauchos were led by junior outside hitter Miles Evans, who picked up 13 kills on the night, pushing his streak of 10+ kill matches to six straight. Evans was just one dig away from a double-double, finishing with nine. Freshman outside hitter Kevin Donohue followed up his double-double from last Friday with an 11-kill, two-ace performance on Friday night. However, both players were held under a .100 hitting percentage for the night, combining for a total of 20 of UCSB's 31 attacking errors.
Sophomore libero Chad Kingi finished with 12 digs, the fifth match in a row in which he has recorded nine or more digs. Junior setter Oliver Deutschman had a strong night as well, pulling off several acrobatic back-sets on the way to 38 assists and nine digs.
The Cougars, who are operating without Taylor Sander, the reigning MPSF Freshman of the Year and conference leader in kills and points, received outstanding performances from three players. Middle blocker Russ Lavaja, who entered the game ranked third in the conference in blocking, led all players with 11 block assists. Senior outside hitter Robb Stowell had a match-high 17 kills, and setter Joe Kauliakamoa did a little bit of everything against the Gauchos, recording a career and season-high six kills and a team-high nine digs on top of his 47 assists.
Despite eventually winning the set with 30 points, the Gauchos were behind for the majority of the first set. Surrendering the first three points of the match, UCSB wasn't able to square things up until 20-20. Sophomore middle blocker Evan Licht was responsible for creating most of the momentum that made the comeback possible. Down 17-12, a quick-strike from Licht gave the Gauchos the serve. With Oliver Deutschman serving, Licht recorded a block or kill on the next three points, bringing UCSB back within one point of the third-ranked Cougars. Licht finished the night with four kills and two blocks.
The two teams would trade points from there on out- after just one tie and no lead changes through the first 41 points, there were 10 ties and five lead changes over the final 17 points. An attacking error by Stowell gave the Gauchos the first chance to clinch the match at 23-24. A triple block from BYU on the ensuing point extended the set. It was not until UCSB's fourth set-point at 28-29 that they were able to put away the Cougars, as an over pass off of a Kevin Donohue serve landed wide of the court.
BYU was able to get off to hot starts in each of the following three sets, but it wasn't until the fourth game that the Gauchos were able to once again put up a fight. Down 15-9, a double-block from junior middle blocker Dylan Davis and freshman outside hitter Austin Kingi sparked a rally that would see UCSB claim nine of the next 11 points. Austin Kingi, in his UCSB debut, tallied seven kills, four digs, and a pair of block assists. Davis also had seven kills, while totaling a team-high five block assists.
That last comeback would be all the Gauchos had left in the tank, however, as Lavaja and Stowell took over the end of the match. The two accounted for the final four BYU points, and four of the final six overall, as they recorded a kill apiece as well as teaming up on two blocks.
For the match, UCSB was outblock as a team 19.5 to 9.0 by BYU. That blocking advantage extended past that single statistic however, as the Gauchos were also held to a measly .105 hitting percentage. In fact, UCSB's team hitting percentage was held under .100 in each of the final three sets, whereas the Cougars averaged a .259 clip for the match.
Tomorrow night, the Gauchos will once again play BYU at Smith Fieldhouse. Barring a postseason matchup, it will be the last time the two play each other this season. The match will be streamed live online via BYU Sports. The link for the match can be found by following this link.

BOSTON, Mass.—For the third consecutive doubleheader UMass Boston mobbed home plate after a walk-off win, as Kelsey Souza's (Braintree, Mass.) RBI single in the bottom of the eight inning of game two helped the Beacons earn a sweep of visiting Little East Conference foe University of Southern Maine Wednesday afternoon at the UMB Softball Field.
With the 6-1 and 3-2 victories, UMass Boston kept their Little East Conference Tournament hopes alive, moving to 13-23 overall and 4-8 in conference action. The Huskies tournament hopes were crushed for the third straight season, as they fell to 7-30 and 2-10 in Little East play.
The pair of wins also improved UMB to 8-29 against the Huskies, with an 8-6 edge dating back to 2007. UMass Boston earned their second sweep in three years over USM behind a pair of stellar pitching performances and great days at the plate from Taryn Asta (Marshfield, Mass.) and Souza.
Asta matched her career-high for hits in a game by going 4-for-4 with an RBI and the game-winning run. Souza matched Asta with hits on the day and added two runs scored and an RBI to help the Beacons even their home record at 6-6.
Game One: UMass Boston 6, Southern Maine 1
Wednesday's first game should have been every bit the pitcher's duel that the nightcap was, if not for five Southern Maine errors.
The Beacons turned the five USM miscues into five unearned runs and cruised to a 6-1 win behind freshman starter Emily Gray (New Bedford, Mass.). Gray allowed just four hits and one run over seven innings work, while striking out four.
At the plate, Sue Killilea (Abington, Mass.) and Kristina Bove (Medford, Mass.) each finished with two RBI apiece, while Killilea continued to reset the Beacons and national record books. Killilea's leadoff triple in the first inning moved her into a tie for eight place in Division III history with 31 career triples. The senior also added two RBI, to assume sole possession of first place in UMB history with 89 RBI for her career.
Lyndsey Capra (Lowell, Mass.), Kelsey Svenson (Oxford, Conn.) joined Souza and Killilea with one hit apiece. Capra added a team-high two runs scored in three trips to the plate.
For Southern Maine, senior Jesse Hutchins took the loss, despite allowing only four hits and one earned run over six innings. Catcher Jessica Hayden led the squad with two of her team-high four hits on the day.
UMass Boston took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first when Killilea sent a triple into the left field corner and came into score on an RBI groundout from Asta.
The Beacons piled on three unearned runs in the third on one hit and two errors and added two more runs on two more Huskies errors in the fourth.
Southern Maine struck for their only run of the game in the fifth inning, when Cara Radino led off with a double to right and scampered home on Lindsey Somerset's RBI single through the left side.
Gray would take over from there-retiring eight of the final nine Huskies she faced.
Game Two: UMass Boston 3, Southern Maine 2 (8 Innings)
The nightcap proved to be a much more even contest as the Huskies played with their playoff hopes on the line. Pitcher Michelle Zullo (Everett, Mass.) and Stefanie Stockwell went pitch for pitch, as the two teams traded three leads, before UMass Boston earned their first extra-innings win of the season.
Asta led off the bottom of the eight for UMB with a blooper on the infield dirt that fell just behind third baseman Katie Davis to put a runner on first with no outs. After back-to-back outs moved Asta to second base, Souza crushed a single up the middle that easily scored Asta and sent her teammates piling out of the dugout.
The pair of seniors were the stars of game two for UMB, as Asta finished 4-for-4 with a run and an RBI and Souza ended the game 3-for-4 with a run and RBI as well.
On the mound, Zullo struck out a season-high eight batters, while scattering six hits and two runs over the course of eight innings. After retiring the first nine batters she faced, Zullo stranded two runners in the sixth and a runner on third in the eight, to come away with her sixth win of the year.
Stockwell was the tough-luck loser for USM, allowing three runs and 10 hits over 7.2 innings pitched.
She was helped out offensively by Hayden who finished 2-for-4 with a two-run homer that gave Southern Maine it's only lead of the day.
The Beacons took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning when Killilea struck for her second extra-base hit of the day (a double) and came into score on a two-out single to left field off the bat of Asta.
Southern Maine answered right back in the fourth, as Stockwell broke up Zullo's perfect game bid with a leadoff single and came around to score on Hayden's second homer of the season, a two-run shot to left field.
Playing from behind for the first time all day, UMB quickly evened the score at 2-2. Souza singled up the middle with one out, moved over to second on a sacrifice bunt and came in to score on a Capra RBI single.
From that point on the two teams would trade zeros over the final three innings, as both pitchers left three runners on base.
The Huskies put two runners on in the top of the sixth, only to have Zullo force an inning-ending groundout to second. While Stockwell allowed two runners to reach in the bottom half of the inning, before inducing an inning-ending popout.
Southern Maine looked primed to go ahead in the top of the eight before Zullo put together her most impressive pitches of the outing. Stockwell led off with a double to left-center and moved over to third with one out on a sacrifice bunt. With the team's top two run producers stepping up, Zullo promptly struck out Hayden swingin and forced Davis to ground out to end the inning.
Asta and Souza would perform their theatrics in the bottom half of the inning, to give UMass Boston their fourth doubleheader sweep of the year.
UMass Boston will return to action Thursday when they host Salem State University in a non-conference doubleheader beginning at 3 p.m. The Huskies will play host to LEC rival UMass Dartmouth Saturday at 1 p.m. in their regular-season finale.

Like I said, Im going by birthplace.
In terms of experience alone, I'd say Norcal hands down. Socal has the youth, but i think talent-wise and just plain all out skill, ray allen, Kidd, and having payton on the bench as well as Bowen (defensive all-pro right?) with Pierce would beat team socal.

Did you see the shitter on that critter? I'd love to give her the sawhorse slider!

The concept
- Making wholesome, delicious, high quality confections;
- Using organically grown, fair trade and locally sourced ingredients whenever possible;
- Treating customers, employees and suppliers in an honest, friendly and professional manner;
- Supporting environmental stewardship through choices of ingredients, processes and packaging;
- Providing fair compensation for employees and for those whose labors provide our ingredients and supplies;
- Hiring people who have barriers to regular employment; and
- Working to make the business, community and world more peaceful, just, joyful and environmentally sustainable.
The entrepreneur
Dale Anderson worked for years counseling young people who had been involved with the courts. He began to think that he could be more effective by providing them with a second chance through tangible work experience, especially for youth with convictions. By helping youth learn a trade, Anderson's primary focus is to help young workers confront systemic issues such as trying to complete their education. To date, about 20 young people have benefitted from Anderson's mentorship as volunteers or employees, becoming skilled about making chocolates. Together, they have made over 200,000 pieces of chocolate and truffles.
Anderson's product is high-quality chocolate made from as many local ingredients from local farmers as possible to support the Kalamazoo economy. Anderson is also committed to using Fair Trade chocolate, to extend to those who produce the cacao a measure of the systemic change and opportunity he hopes to offer his staff. In addition to traditional favorites, Dale creates new flavors to satisfy his own creativity. He has reinvented truffles and knows instinctively what works. Flavors change seasonally and include Dark Chocolate Truffles (Mexican Hot Chocolate, Orange Cardamom, Raspberry, Honeycomb, Bittersweet, Ginger, Jasmine Green Tea, Mint, Vegan Coconut Milk, 70% Ecuadorean with Cocoa Nibs), Milk Chocolate Truffles(Hazelnut, Curry, Peanut Butter & Honey, Damson Plum, Bailey's Irish Cream, Pumpkin Spice) and White Chocolate (Michigan Tart Cherry, Lemon, Honey Lavender, Walnut Maple Cranberry).
While Anderson is pleased he is able to treat his customers to a higher quality of chocolate, he defines impact in terms of helping youth. His biggest success story is about the turnaround of a current employee who had dropped out of school and was living in the Gospel Mission . Through the foundation provided by employment at Dale's shop, te employee has ccompleted the GED requirements as well as two semesters at Kalamazoo Valley Community College and is living in an apartment. Now pursuing business and psychology degrees, the employee hopes to be the director of a residential treatment facility for youth.
As for the future, Dales hopes that Confections with Convictions can expand its offerings to broader markets. This will allow him to hire more kids, thus providing them with more opportunities. Dale has settled in to being a small business owner and chocolatier.

Teen Dies of Flu Complications in St. Paul
ST. PAUL (AP) - Minnesota health officials say a teenager from Texas has died of complications of the flu.
Relatives say 17-year-old Max Schwolert and his family were spending the holidays with his grandparents in Amery, Wis., when he got sick on Christmas Eve. The teen died Saturday at a St. Paul hospital.
His uncle, Phil Schwolert, says his nephew apparently developed a staph infection along with the flu. The teen was a senior at Marcus High School in suburban Dallas.
The state Department of Health confirmed the teen died of flu complications, the third flu death this season in Minnesota. Health officials predict it could be one of the worst flu seasons in years in Minnesota. More than 120 Minnesotans were hospitalized with the flu in the week ending Dec. 22, nearly twice the number of cases in the previous week.
