IPL ignored and humiliated Pakistani players in the most malicious manner possible. The Indian authorities gave the following reasons, however most people believe them to be petty excuses:
1) Potential difficulty in issuing visas would mean that Pakistani players should have been sidelined
2) Many of the world's top cricketers were also left out
3) There were threats from some politicians, Shiv Sena and like minded extremists
Shahid Afridi, Sohail Tanvir, Umer Akmal, Umar Gul etc are amongst the best T20 players in the world, so what was the justification of sidelining them in this manner? Indian government spokesperson Chidambaram clearly defended the government saying that the issuing of visas was not a problem from the Indian side.
The immense confusion and blame game makes it seem like every stakeholder, be it the government, the movie stars or the administrators, has a guilty conscience and no one is brave enough to come out in the open and declare that this was a jingoistic and politically motivated decision.
Shahrukh Khan, hailing from the Pakistani province of NWFP,
gave the boldest statement from an Indian's perspective saying that politics should not be involved in sport. His comments have been perceived very negatively by Hindu extremists in India, most notably the Shiv Sena who have threatened to not release his upcoming movie, "My Name is Khan", in Mumbai. They
have also said that if he wants the Pakistanis to play cricket, he should go to Lahore or Islamabad.
Apparently there have been negotiations between Shahrukh Khan and IPL organisers where Khan has convinced some of the organisers to invite Pakistani players. Afridi and Razzaq expressed their interest in playing IPL after this fiasco, however it was disappointing to see a player like Afridi who frequently refers to pride playing for Pakistan, succumb to the temptation of money like this.
Ijaz Butt was seemed confused and directionless to begin with, but now the PCB has made the right decision by banning IPL participation by Pakistanis for 2010. This comes as a blessing in disguise because if these players had participated in IPL, a lot of Indians as well as Pakistanis themselves would have considered these players are some kind of prostitutes who have no self esteem, and can do anything for money.
It is time for these cricketers to realise that their country comes first.
The travesty is that Pakistanis are so cricket crazy that all of these famous cricketers can still lead glamorous and luxurious lives in Pakistan, but they surrender themselves to greed which is why they lose self esteem. Someone like Wasim Akram can make such a huge difference if he becomes involved in academies in Pakistan, but Wasim is more interested making money in India.
This thread is not about jingoism, or an eye for an eye. It is about sending a clear message to Pakistani cricketers that they need to develop some pride. Also, this thread is a lesson for those who believe politics should be involved with sport. Pakistanis need to send a clear message across the border that they have had enough with this constant mixing of politics and sport. Cricket must never be threatened by the whims of some cowardly, hate-filled extremists.
This thread is also not an attack on India. Like most Pakistanis, most Indians are also peace loving people who want to build strong relations with others. Whoever was behind this devious scheme to humiliate Pakistan has received a slap on their face, since most Indians even have criticised this decision.
WAYLE BOLD DANiiiiiii

Wayle Bold Daniiii
When you hear this phrase 'well bowled Dany" in desi accent it is no one else but, Kamran Akmal trying to perk up Danish Kaneria after he has dropped a simple sitter. One can easily say that he is a bad keeper and a good baby sitter. He was baby sitting his child all night while his wife was sleeping in the hotel room. When I first read this on a cricket blog, I did not believe it, but here it is: "According to sources, Kamran was often seen pacing up and down the corridor of the Inter Continental Hotel in central Sydney with his baby in his arms." http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/sports/babysitting-affected-kamrans-sydeny-performance_100301332.html#ixzz0cKG4FfSw
Bringing wives on foreign tours is something that has become a fashion these days It is a point to prove that you are committed and devoted to your wife (whereas, you are supposed to be committed and devoted to the game) and not being distracted by the cheer leaders. Also, to show to the conservative nation that you are not a playboy but, a boy who plays. He who plays, and plays for his wife is Akmal. He who plays and, betrays his team and nation but, pleases his wife by babysitting is Akmal. He who plays behind the wickets and drop simple catches is Akmal. He who drops a catch is a wicketkeeper, ignore him. But, he who drops a hat-trick of simple catches, is Akmal, play him again and again, so that the team never wins. This is the result of having an extra baggage or a drag in the team. He brings his extra baggage on the tour and he dumps it on the ground.
It is about time that Kamran Akmal is dropped from the team. He needs a sabbatical, perhaps a year or two. If he wants an extra pair of hands to babysit his child who could be better than his own brother or uncle of the baby? Take him along Mr. Akmal, but stop black-mailing the board or the nation. Don't use pressure tactics and don't consider your younger brother as a trump card. You have ruined your career don't ruin his. He has just started his career and doing well, if you drag him in this mess of politics, he will not grow up as a cricketer but, a petty politician. He will be better off if you take him along and join a political party and groom him over there.
Every time the Pakistan cricket team steals the headlines but, not for good reason. It is either about ball tampering, drugs related, discipline related name a controversy and they are not behind. This time, it is an administrative issue and that too a simple one. A player who is not performing well, gets some rest. But, Kamran Akmal is so adamant to play in the third test that he is playing the dirtiest of games by not only being disobedient by refusing to back off, he is talking to the media, telling that he is definitely playing, calling Sarfaraz Ahmad "a rival" and citing Ricky Ponting's current batting form to defend his own weaknesses and follies, rather blunders. And, the irony is, he is not ashamed, he appears to be very proud about his past performance, which he thinks is excellent? As if no one has any brains to remember how "disgustipatingly" pathetic a wicketkeeper he is.
His records may only show the number of runs he scored or number of catches he held. But, there is no record of the century or catches that he dropped in ALL forms of the games i.e., test, ODI and T20. Some people are used to seeing him dropping catches and take it for granted, some are sick of it and want to see his back. Unfortunately for Pakistan, all those who have criticized his bad performances their voices have disappeared in oblivion. Kamran Akmal is there for the last one decade, constantly dropping catches like bird droppings which are unhealthy and potentially fatal. Likewise, Kamran dropping catches alone has resulted in defeats for the team, which otherwise could have won at least 25-30 test matches and 30-40 ODI's during the last ten years. This is not an exaggeration, if there is any source that records the number of catches dropped, Kamran Akmal must be topping the list, he must be head & shoulders above the rest of the wicketkeepers in the world.
So much has been written and said about his pathetic wicketkeeping since the shameful defeat at Sydney Cricket Ground last week when he dropped 4 simple catches of Mike Hussey, three in a row and another one the next day that people are sick of discussing it anymore and many Pakistanis I have encountered and asked their opinions, they said, they are not interested in cricket anymore. Especially, as long as Kamran Akmal is playing, as long as Mohammad Yousuf is the captain, as long as Intikhab Alam is the coach-cum-manager of the Pakistan team.
For the sake of 170 million population Kamran Akmal, Mohammd Yousuf and Intikhab Alam PLEASE GO HOME, I AM READY TO PAY ONE WAY TICKET TO YOUR HOME.
From the dreams of stealing a historic victory to the jaws of a deplorable defeat
Posted by JAVED A. KHAN in LS Pakistan on January 6, 2010
Has Pakistan team learnt anything here after this agonizing defeat? The answer is a big NO. The reason is, there is no professionalism in the team, there is this "Bhai Culture" that supersede the professionalism. You respect your seniors and remain their yes man, you are pardoned, forgiven and sometimes even rewarded for being a "chota bhai".
Mohammad Yousuf may be a good Muslim, he can forgive someone even for a heinous crime but, taking over the blame on himself for a crime that Kamran Akmal has committed is not something you expect from a professional. Yousuf's captaincy is questionable and reportedly he is a very, very weak and unimaginative captain. Somehow in the Sydney test he wasn't doing that bad initially when his bowlers were exploiting the wicket conditions to their favour. Then getting a first innings lead of 206 wasn't great, but not that bad either.
The real test of Yousuf's captaincy came in the second innings when he was supposed to be attacking the Aussies, he was on the defensive. The pitch conditions were not assisting his pace bowlers, his lone and only spinner was toiling hard to scalp some wickets and his old time foe who almost ruined his career by dropping dozens of his catches was at his best on the 3rd day, he dropped Mike Hussey three times which is criminal and Mohammad Yousuf wants to show to the rest of the world that he is a Messiah who forgives and forgets the sins and crimes of those who hurt him or his countrymen.
Yousuf has backed Kamran Akmal publicly by saying: "Things like this happen in cricket, Kamran is always trying his best. You tell me, how can we afford to give him a rest? He is such a good batsman. He scored well in New Zealand and we need him here." It is like that Persian expression, "My father was a Sultan – but, I am a pauper." The fact is Kamran Akmal needs a break. You cannot carry on a drag on the basis of his past glories and performances. Same should be the case with Misbah, he needs retirement.
The irony is, Mohammad Yousuf not only supports Kamran Akmal but his citing of the example of Ricky Ponting and comparing his action with that of Ricky's form and his decision to opt for batting after winning the toss is a matter of utter naivety and ignorance. The bottom line is: Whatever decision Ricky Ponting took or whether he delivered or not, he as a captain of the Australian team not only won the test match and the series, but also pulled a victory from the jaws of a certain defeat.
The PCB selectors and administrators are notoriously famous for nepotism, favourtism, undue patronage and above all promoting regionalism to the extent of being labeled as jingoists are determined to ruin the game of cricket in Pakistan. The country which has so much talent and the youth is so full of exuberance and skill and are so motivated and eager to play for their country but, they are discarded, rejected or ignored because of the trivial politics. From the political situation that exists in the country, this continuous negative tactics by the PCB may not be ending in the near future. Because, the whole system is cancerous and needs to be overhauled right from the top to the bottom. Until and unless this is done, there cannot be fair team selection and not only the players, but the fans and supporters for the promotion of cricket in Pakistan shall be mourning the untimely death of cricket in Pakistan.
Our blog has been extremely fair and unbiased in commenting, criticizing the players, officials and their decisions. Once again I would like to request the bloggers to express out their true and fair feelings about the future team selection of a Pakistan XI and not a Punjab XI.

text: rodent 294 Posted September 26, 2007 I've read through the other post about this topic, but I think my situation is a little different. Feel free to debate, or tell me I'm wrong. I'm asking it here because I know I get the truth. If I ask my family, they may not tell me what they really feel. I chose one of the least expensive hotels in the area, so guest wouldn't need to stay somewhere else in order to save money. I sacrificed a beautiful gazeebo & some other things I wanted to make sure the hotel was affordable. Maybe they could save some money with a non-AI, but not much. So they'd be choosing to stay somewhere else for other reasons, like they prefer a different area, or they want to stay somewhere fancier, etc. Even my parents who normally stays in cheap non-AI hotels in mexico think this place is a bargain. Also, I'd almost prefer someone not go, than to stay somewhere else. Unless they are totally fine with not hanging out with us much. I just don't want to have to leave the hotel where I'm having a great time with other guests to meet these guests at a public beach so we can hang out. I also think it would be hard to coordinate group trips when they are in a different hotel. I posted on the website that it cost $80 to enter the hotel each day. I didn't say who would have to pay it, but just wanted to make sure they knew this when making their decision. Our budget is small so $80 per person is a lot. If we were spending $20,000, another $80 for a few people wouldn't be such a big deal. For our budget it really is. If 10 people wanted to stay off the property, I'd have to cancel something very important to me like my photographer. There is really nothing else to cut back on. I haven't splurged on anything for the wedding. The only exception is we might have 2 guest who would stay with friends in the area. I can understand this, because it's not like they are just picking a different hotel. We will offer to pay for them. It's only slightly more expensive for them to get a room at the hotel for the night instead of a day pass, so we'll probably offer to pay for their nights stay or $80 of it. But if someone picks a different hotel just because they like it better (even a more expensive hotel), should we have to pay for them to get into our hotel? Honestly it would really hurt my feelings if they didn't stay with us. I don't expect us to hang out the whole time, but I do think there will be some great group times that I wouldn't want anyone to miss out on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My name is Jeff Eagar. I'm from Canada but I just spent six months in India and I love
India. I think India is my favorite country in the whole world. India is very interesting.
It's real life. It's the good and the bad, and the rich and the poor, and the happy and

emotion, you feel a lot of sadness and happiness and joy and that's why India is my

Question and Response

What can I say About Me?
I have been spinning Records since 1982, and joined a DJ crew in the mid 80's called Deep Space (Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Eddie Fowkles, & Keith Martin) In my college days, I somehow indirectly connected my next door neighbor, Kevin Saunderson and Derrick May to kinda help start the whole Detroit Techno era. Years later, I worked as Promotion Director for Kevin Saunderson's KMS label in the late 80's and helped the whole Detroit Techno scene spread throughout the US.
Although I'm a Househead for life, in the Mid 90's House and Techno lost its Soul and I developed an appreciation for Rap and Hip Hop during the "Golden Age" so I feel somewhat comfortable in both worlds. I went on to do Indie Record Promotion for a few Record Labels including the infamous Luke Records and the 2Live Crew (Midwest Street rep). I was also an Asst. Director of Midwestern Dance Assn DJ Record Pool in the late 90's handling Urban Music.
In the late 90's/early 2k – the bottom fell out of the Music Industry so my passion shifted to my other interest Apple Computers and Mac where I worked locally as a Apple Retail Rep and was a member of several Macintosh User Groups.
Around 2007, I started DJing digitally with Serato Scratch Live and it has renewed my interest in the whole concept of DJing again. Detroit is saturated with House Music DJs (more DJs than venues) and many of the mainstream DJs in Detroit have given up on the Art of Beatmixing and Programming. I still like to beatmix mainstream Rap and R&B like House Music. I currently spin on occasion at Firewater II (New Center Area), Club Topaze (West Side), Club Introvest (West Side) and Club Waterfalls (Downtown) in addition to other spots out and about. Hopefully one day, I will get back in the House Music scene soon and do some things with our House Music Promotion group – Strictly House Detroit…..
I also just started mixing and DJing with Music Videos and I am still looking for the right venue that will support, adapt, and promote this new exciting Entertainment concept.

- Vegan propaganda – Yes, WTH is an exposé that screams propaganda. WTH follows Kip Andersen, one of the documentary's producers, on his inauthentic, dramatic, overtly biased mission to antagonize various organizations, institutions, and individuals. The approach and style of this piece was clearly written to be controversial and contentious, and it was successful on those accounts. However, I believe that this messaging strategy is counterproductive to (what should be) the documentary's overall purpose: to promote healthier dietary choices amongst Americans.
- The implication that vegans don't get sick – Wth, WTH? This is highly, highly misleading. Vegans are not inherently resistant to development of chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. By claiming that vegans are perpetually healthy, immortal fountains of youth (I'm exaggerating but you get the idea), WTH ignores reality, insults viewers' intelligence, and alienates those with common sense who know this to be untrue. Diet is not the only factor that determines whether a person acquires a particular disease – even a chronic disease.
- The idea that genetics do not contribute to disease – Our genes are programmed from conception and may contain mutations or mutate over time. Our genes and their mutations can lead us to disease regardless of our diets, exercise habits, or environmental exposures.
- Lack of dietary alternatives – For all of its animal-product-bashing, WTH doesn't actually tell viewers what food options are preferable. Perhaps this is not the goal of the documentary, but many viewers are left wondering what the heck they're supposed to eat.

By Kenneth R. Harney
September 23, 2012WASHINGTON ― Here's some encouraging news for condominium unit owners, sellers and buyers: The biggest source of funding for low-down-payment condo mortgages, the Federal Housing Administration, has revamped controversial rules that caused thousands of buildings across the country to lose their eligibility for FHA financing.
The revised guidelines, which were issued Sept. 13 and took effect immediately, should make it easier for large numbers of homeowner associations to seek certification by the FHA. The certification process is intended to provide the FHA, a government-run mortgage insurance agency, with key information about a development's legal, physical and financial status. Without approval of an entire development ― regardless of whether it's a small complex in the suburbs or a massive high-rise in the center city ― no individual unit can be financed or refinanced with an FHA mortgage.
One of the most significant changes the FHA made involves personal legal liability for condo association boards and officers. The previous rules required officers to attest that they had "no knowledge of circumstances or conditions that might have an adverse effect on the project or cause a mortgage secured by a unit" to become delinquent, of "dissatisfaction among unit owners about the operation of the project or owners association" or of "disputes concerning unit owners." The penalty for officers who "knowingly" and "willfully" submitted information to the FHA that was found to be false: fines of up to $1 million and 30 years in prison.
Although the previous rules focused on entire buildings, individual unit owners seeking to sell often have taken the brunt. The Community Associations Institute, the condo industry's largest trade group, welcomed the relaxation of the FHA rules, predicting that "this will spark home sales and help tens of thousands of condominium communities begin to recover from the housing slump."
Not surprisingly, many board officers declined to take on what they interpreted as lifetime legal responsibility for such details as whether the condominium fully complied with state and local environmental and real estate requirements. Although the FHA insisted that the associations were overreacting, the new certifications contain much less scary language. The penalties for intentional frauds against the government remain the same, however.
Among other key rule changes:

Welcome back to the WPlus9 December Release!
My first card features the latest addition to the Punny Produce line, "Punny Produce: Peaches".
I thought these peaches would be just perfect with the Lattice Frame Die. I die cut a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch piece of white card stock with the Lattice Frame die. Then I masked off the lattice and stamped the peaches in Sweet Nectar and Mojito ink. This was adhered to a white card base and tie with a simple Linen Thread bow.
My next card features the Miss You Lots stamp set and die.
This was a bit of a stretch for me as I'm not normally a colorer. The image is so beautiful that I had to give it a try. I'm not sure how much justice I did it, but I certainly had fun :)
Head over to the WPlus9 Design Blog for more inspiration. Then visit Joni & Kara to see what they've designed using the new products!
I'll be back tomorrow for release day! See you then!

Fleetwood boss Graham Alexander has urged fans not to expect instant success with the club in the throws of a painful rebirth.
Supporters took to websites and social media to criticise the manager following Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Oldham Atheletic - casting doubts over the quality of the strike force he has assembled.
But Alexander made it clear there would be no more quick fixes at Highbury with the club building for the long term.
However, he will be hoping for a glut of goals at Gigg Lane this evening to lift the pressure on himself and his squad.
Town created more than half a dozen good chances to hit the net in Saturday's defeat.
But Alexander isn't one to panic - taking solace in the fact his side have never been more creative.
He said: "The frustration is still there but there's no point looking back and trying to change that because it has happened.
"We've just got to look back, see what we could have done better, particularly with the goal.
"I watched it again on Sunday and we created a lot of opportunities.
"We created more than we have done at any stage last season.
"We're just not taking them at the moment."
One thing is for certain, Alexander and Fleetwood are going to press on with their new model - chairman Andy Pilley hoping the club can break even this term.
Alexander said: "We won't change the course of our path - we'll continue playing the way we are.
"We'll continue to try to improve the players in the squad because we knew we had to work hard with them because of the newness and youthfulness
"Even if we'd won the last two we'd be doing the same things.
"We have to look at the positives, feed them to the players and make sure they continue to do them."
The former Burnley and Preston defender is under no illusion about the task ahead - starting tonight at Gigg Lane against the newly promoted Shakers.
They took a bizarre point on the opening day thanks to a walk-in goal which made headlines worldwide - Doncaster boss Paul Dickov gifting the Shakers an equaliser after his side accidentally scored trying to sportingly give the ball back.
A 2-2 draw with well-fancied Swindon on Saturday kept David Flitcroft's side unbeaten as they continue to ride the crest of the promotion wave.
Alexander will have done his homework but remains more focused on his own camp.
"We know of Bury's strengths," said the Fleetwood boss.
"They did great getting promoted last year, we've played them before and it's been tough against them before.
"But we'll focus on our players.
"When we started this process more than 12 months ago we didn't envisage it being an overnight success.
"We did talk about the problems we might have - as a board and management staff.
"We talked about the process you have to go through with young and inexperienced players.
"We'd like to have got more points in the first two games
"But it's the first two games of a season where we're evolving the club as well as the team.
"Things don't happen overnight - we'll be patient and stick with it."
And he emphasised that going out and buying a striker wasn't an option - Town unable to spend anywhere near what it would take to recruit a proven League One hitman.
For Alexander and Fleetwood success must come a different way.
He said: "We still have the same drive and ambition as a staff and a club.
"It's not a quick fix programme we're going through now.
"It's can we build, can we bring young players through our own system.
"Can we identify young talent, bring it in and make them evolve with us and that's hte process we're going through.
"There will be negative moments but I can't get past the positives of it.
"I've been asked by the club and I agree with it, to put a process in place to create a different club than it has been in the last 10 years and we are two games in.
"Anyone expecting instant results - a team of 20 year olds with five games under their belts to be top of the league in League One, there's a bit of kidology going on there."

What motivates violence? How can good and compassionate people hurt and kill others or themselves? Why are people much more likely to kill or assault people they know well, rather than strangers? This provocative and radical book shows that people mostly commit violence because they genuinely feel that it is the morally right thing to do. In perpetrators' minds, violence may be the morally necessary and proper way to regulate social relationships according to cultural precepts, precedents, and prototypes. These moral motivations apply equally to the violence of the heroes of the Iliad, to parents smacking their child, and to many modern murders and everyday acts of violence. Virtuous Violence presents a wide-ranging exploration of violence across different cultures and historical eras, demonstrating how people feel obligated to violently create, sustain, end, and honor social relationships in order to make them right, according to morally motivated cultural ideals.Read more
- Argues that violence does not result from a breakdown of morality, but is morally motivated
- Contrasts with prevailing theories on violence which explain violence as resulting from a lack of self-control, failure to think morally, or radical rational calculation
- Explains the motives for violence to help readers understand why people feel that it is right to harm or kill others, or themselves
- Compares a great many different kinds of violence - both culturally condoned and criminal - across different cultures throughout history
Reviews & endorsements
"With its wealth of eye-opening ethnographic and historical comparisons and its contrarian but well-argued analyses, this book is a fascinating exploration of violence and a major contribution to our understanding of the human condition."

"Through compelling analyses ranging from primeval forms of human sacrifice to contemporary torture, ancient wars to medieval jousts, contact sports to gang fights, violent revolutions to suicide terrorism and mass murder, Virtuous Violence lays bare the moral motives for murderous passions, as a sort of evolutionary impetus to manage the interpersonal and intergroup interactions upon which societies depend, often aided by gods, spirits and abstract causes to which no creature but man is subject."
Scott Atran, Directeur de Recherche, Anthropologie, CNRS/Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris and author of In Gods We Trust and Talking to the Enemy
"A provocative tour through the (long) world history of violence. You won't think about violence and its many manifestations - or read a newspaper - the same way again."
Dov Cohen, University of Illinois
"It's so hard for us to think clearly about violence because acts of violence trigger such strong moral condemnation. Fiske and Rai strip the moralism out of our own minds and put it where it belongs - in the minds of the perpetrators, who usually think their acts are justified. This astonishing book offers a unified approach to understanding the most ghastly events, from street crime and honor killings through war crimes and genocide. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand and ultimately reduce violence."
Jonathan Haidt, New York University Stern School of Business, and author of The Righteous Mind
"It's not possible to have a clear understanding of the past, present or future of war, terrorism and torture without knowing the basic message of Virtuous Violence."
Richard E. Nisbett, Distinguished University Professor, University of Michigan
"We have all watched movies where violent actions occur as part and consequence of social relations, and where the art of the movie consists of letting the audience share exactly the same emotions and motives that make that violence inevitable and feel right. At the same time, the mainstream social psychological arguments rarely pick up on these motives. This book provides a powerful argument in favor of scientifically considering these causes of violence. It is a scientifically important book, which touches on many issues we are concerned about as citizens, and will surely attract much attention and discussion as well as hopefully influencing future work in the social and behavioural sciences on this topic."
Thomas Schubert, University of Oslo
"The authors of this exciting book convincingly show that most individuals and groups engage in violence believing that what they do is right, moral and even obligatory. This well-written book shows the great challenge of preventing such righteous violence, and provides the knowledge base to engage with this challenge."
Ervin Staub, author of The Roots of Evil; The Psychology of Good and Evil and Overcoming Evil
"Virtuous Violence settles the question of whether violence is a rational act or an expressive gesture triggered by the emotions. Morally motivated violence, the authors explain, is based on emotional experience. But while emotions may be acted on impulsively, there is no reason why a moral stance cannot be arrived at logically and pursued with careful planning. This solution is much more intellectually satisfying than the binary division of one versus the other, and means that the message of the book may be reconciled with the work of diverse theorists."
David Mansley, Theoretical Criminology

(Top 20 Colour Cube by VA)
For those of you who go out to see live music, you know that part of going to shows is not going to shows. Concerts are cancelled, plans change, unforseen events present themselves, and sometimes people plain up and die (luckily, Johnny Thunders made a full recovery from his early-evening overdose on the night I went to see him, living to play the show, albeit barely).
As I work my way through my series, I wanted to have an entry that honoured those concerts and performers who I did not get to see … and here it is, also doubling as a celebration of working my way up to No. 020 (they say that hindsight is 20/20, so I felt this was a fitting number for the piece).

If you check your credit scores regularly — and experts recommend you do — it can be a little scary to hear that credit inquiries can damage your credit. That's a little like telling someone who is trying to improve their physical health that stepping up on the scale carries health risks. (And that's not just because you might have a heart attack if you see that number.) There's information that could be useful, but the consequences make you wonder if it's worth it.
Some people think credit is like that. Why look if you think it could make a shaky credit score even lower? And if you think your credit is good, why risk shaving off a few points by checking?
It's helpful to clarify what "checking credit" means, because in many cases it has no effect at all on your credit standing. If you request your own credit reports or scores, it has no effect on your scores. Similarly, if a potential employer who has your permission reviews your credit reports, it shouldn't count against you. The fact that your credit was reviewed is recorded as an "inquiry" on your report, but employment-related inquiries are not supposed to be factored into your credit scores, and therefore are not supposed to affect them. (An exception that happened to one of our commenters was when an employment-related inquiry was misclassified as a credit inquiry.) This is another reason it's worthwhile to check your free annual credit reports; a mistake could keep your score from being as high as it ought to be.
If you apply for credit, the lender or card issuer will typically check your credit score and/or credit report. That inquiry will affect your credit. But the damage to your credit is usually minimal — less than 10 points — and temporary. (Inquiries stay on your credit reports for two years, while most credit scoring models only include inquiries in the past 12 months). The inquiries that affect your scores are called "hard inquiries" as opposed to "soft inquiries," which do not.
Soft inquiries that don't affect your credit include those generated when:
- You check your own credit
- Your credit is evaluated for promotional offers
- Your current lenders periodically review your credit
- Insurance companies and/or employers review your credit information
Hard inquiries that can affect your credit include:
- Applications for credit
So if you applied for several credit cards at once, then perhaps a car loan, you could see your scores go down some. However, you can check your own credit (a soft inquiry) every day if you want, and it would not hurt your perceived creditworthiness. You can also get two free scores, updated every 14 days, on Credit.com, and monitor your scores that way.

The Demons of Chitrakut
by Ashok Banker
A riveting story - the third part of a retelling of the Ramayana. It reads like a fantasy bringing these mythical worlds to life. Definitely one for a long winter's night in front of the fire.
She looked at him with an expression of utter serenity, like a palace cat that had partaken it's fill of milk and cream and fish. 'I said that I wished for Rama to go into exile for twice times seven years. And for my second boon, I wished to have my son Bharat crowned prince-heir on the morrow.' She whispered the next words, though they seemed to echo resoundingly in the vast, empty pillared chamber. 'And you said you could not refuse me anything I desired. And so the pact was struck.'
Lord of the Rings by J R R Tolkien
Tales of the Otori by Liam Hearn

by Heather Morris
Echo Publishing, Richmond Paperback: 270 pages Price: AUD$29.99
Reviewed by Michael E. Daniel
In 2003 screenwriter Heather Morris was introduced to Lale Sokolov, an elderly Jewish man, after being told that he may "have a story worth telling".
The result is an extraordinary Holocaust survival story: that of Lale and his girlfriend Gita. Originally conceived of as a screenplay, Morris ultimately re-wrote it as a novel.
The novel is the product of extensive interviews Morris had with Sokolov, then an elderly widower, who insisted at their first meeting that she have no preconceptions. Morris meet with him three to four times over the next three years, and he gradually recounted his story. In doing so, he revealed his sense of guilt that he and Gita may have been viewed as having survived the Holocaust because they had collaborated with the Nazis.
As the title suggests, this novel is about the man who survived by tattooing the numbers onto prisoners on their arrival at the camp, particularly Jewish prisoners. Those familiar with the story of the Holocaust would recognise instantly that the tattooing of prisoners was an integral facet of their dehumanisation by the Nazis. After being tattooed, prisoners were only ever identified by their numbers, not their names.
Born Ludwig Eisenberg in Krompachy, Slovakia, in 1916, as a young man Lale was involved in the textile trade. He was transported to Auschwitz on April 13, 1942.
A few months earlier he had acquiesced to a demand that each Jewish family hand over a member to work for the Germans or be sent to a concentration camp in the mistaken belief that in doing so, his family would be spared. Ironically, his parents were to be transported to Auschwitz before him.
The novel begins with Lale being transported to Auschwitz.
Recruited by the tattooist Pepan to be his offsider, Sokolov soon replaces him as head tattooist after Pepan disappears without warning. By this stage, Lale has learnt not to ask too many questions. In a camp where the average lifespan of Jewish inmates is three months, Lale survives for three years.
His job affords him some protection from the brutality of the Nazi guards. He also establishes a rapport with Stefan Baretski, an SS guard, and this alliance also affords him some protection.
However, the other important key to his survival are the connections he establishes with the female prisoners involved in sorting through the possessions of those transported to Auschwitz. By obtaining jewellery items, he is able to exchange these for food for himself and other prisoners.
However, it is Gita who gives Lale the motivation to live. Attracted to her at first glance, Gita and Lale soon form an intimate friendship. They meet whenever it is possible for them to do so, and Gita becomes one of the chief beneficiaries of Lale's smuggling activities.
One turning point in the novel, though, is when Lale's cache of jewellery is discovered, and he is sent to the infamous Block 11. Ironically, in an extraordinary twist of fate, Jakub, the prisoner assigned to torture him to extract information from him, aids his survival, and Lale is one of the few prisoners to emerge alive from this block. He soon regains his job as tattooist.
Told from Lale's perspective, the novel format effectively engages readers as they are drawn into an understanding of Lale's motivations. His reactions to the events he witnessed and experienced are vividly described. What emerges is a moving description of the power of human beings not only to survive unimaginable horrors but to cultivate and develop intimate friendships in such circumstances.
The Tattooist of Auschwitz is a "must-read". It is one of the best books this reviewer has read in recent times, one that he found extremely difficult to put down.

Rebecca Black has been a part of the pop culture vernacular for less than a year, yet she — and those involved in the creation of her so-bad-it's-a-sensation video for "Friday" — are already the subject of a short documentary by This American Life's Jon Ronson. In it, we meet Benni, known on the internet as "Awkward Dancing Girl in Pink," who says that on the set of Rebecca's shoot, she was trying hard to get Patrice Wilson, the man behind the video-making machine, to notice her. He didn't.
Ronson then seeks an interview with Wilson; at first he wouldn't grant permission for Ronson to interview him, but when he heard that Ronson would be appearing on Conan O'Brien's late night show that night, he allowed him in. Hmm, maybe it's because the world really didn't want to know how little effort went into creating something so popular? This is how Wilson says the lyrics for the hit song came to him:
"'Friday' probably took me about thirty minutes. It did. Thirty minutes. It was Thursday and I was like, 'I need to make a song, I need to make a song' and then it was Friday. I'm like, 'It's Friday. Oh that's a song, it's Friday!' There's no song about Friday out there. I'm like, really? Make 'Friday'."

Apache Indian (Goyathlay --1829-1909)
To other members of the Chiricahua (chair-i-cow-ah) Apache, Geronimo seemed to reflect all things they embraced as a people - courage, diligence and aggressiveness - qualities that for years kept them relatively safe from the increasing white encroachment in Arizona and New Mexico.
The Chircahuas were nomadic, following game and farming in the warmer months. But when times were tough and food was scarce raids on other tribes was the way of life, and considered honorable.
Geronimo was born Goyathlay (One Who Yawns) in Arizona, grandson of a chief of the Nedni Apache, but his father married a Bedonkohe Apache and joined her tribe, thereby forfeiting his hereditary right as leader. Therefore, contrary to popular ideas, Geronimo was never a chief. He was a dutiful follower of many great chiefs though, including Cochise and Coloradas.
While many Europeans were trickling into the area, the Spanish were already firmly in place for years. The whites were a problem, but it was Mexican soldiers who raided and killed Geronimo's family - his mother, wife and three children. Prior to this event, Geronimo had been considered more a holy man than a warrior, but as a result of his loss he often spoke of his hatred for whites and coveted a vengeance that would bring him to kill as many as he could.
Geronimo's "white name" came as a result of his fearless and resourceful as a warrior. While leading a charge against Mexicans they began to shout "Geronimo!" seeking help from their patron saint, Jerome, or Geronimo in Spanish. Emerging conqueror over the Mexicans, the warriors bestowed the name of Geronimo on their fearless leader. To this day the name remains a battle cry.
The army tried to place all the Chiricahua on reservation in 1876, but Geronimo fled to Mexico and escaped capture for a decade. While the press is accused of "making news" these days, so it was then. The press had Geronimo everywhere and doing everything, often at the same time.
The media image of Geronimo made him the most high-profile and feared of all the Apache. It wasn't all myth however. His name was associated with terror in the Southwest and ultimately it took more than 5,000 soldiers and 500 scouts to track down Geronimo and his followers.
He finally surrendered after hearing his people were being sent East. He was the very last renegade Indian to surrender to white authority. Geronimo was sent to a reservation in Florida for two years, where many died of malaria or tuberculosis. Geronimo longed to return to his beloved Arizona, but that was not to be so. He was to make another stop in Alabama before finally being placed on a reservation in Oklahoma, which at least bore a climate more similar to that of the Southwest. It was here, at Fort Sill, that he spent the last 14 years of his life.
In his old age, Geronimo learned a little English and how to write his name. He became very enterprising in his ability to market himself and his legacy, selling buttons from his coat for a quarter apiece, his hat for five dollars or bows and arrows that he made. For 50 cents, he would sign his name. If asked he would show off his battle wounds with pride. He also made personal appearances at places like Oklahoma fairs, the Exposition in Omaha in 1898, the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo in 1901, the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904 and Teddy Roosevelt's inaugural parade in 1905.
Despite making the rounds as an "attraction," Geronimo was never allowed to return to Arizona. As an old man, he remained a crack shot, and he enjoyed good health well into his 80s. Geronimo also drank, sometimes to excess and this ultimately was his demise. On a cold night in February of 1909, drunk, he fell off his horse and lay undiscovered on the cold ground. This brought on pneumonia and he died a few days later.

SAP S/4 HANA Finance (formerly called SAP Simple Finance) includes many new features, such as the universal journal, streamlined design, and real-time analytics. The new SAP Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module is one example of a financial module that has been redesigned in the S/4HANA suite to increase process efficiencies across the life cycle of an asset.
Since SAP announced the release of SAP S/4HANA Finance (then called SAP Simple Finance) in early 2014, there has been a lot of confusion on what this product was all about. Most people, including those who were SAP customers, thought that it was a Financial Accounting and Controlling (FI/CO) sub-module that was in some way simpler to configure than the effort currently required in the ERP suite.
Having encountered the confusion around SAP S/4HANA Finance, I decided to put together a summary of what SAP S/4HANA Finance means from a business perspective. First, to understand what SAP S/4HANA Finance is, it is essential to understand SAP's journey with SAP HANA, as SAP HANA is inextricably linked to not only SAP S/4HANA Finance but also SAP's DNA.
Before I answer this question, let me explain what SAP S/4HANA is. It is the SAP ERP 6.0 suite that is fully capable of running on an SAP HANA database. SAP S4/HANA Finance takes that a step further. Certain key components of the former FI/CO suite have been recoded so that they can take full advantage of SAP HANA's potential. SAP Simple Finance (version 1.0) that was released in 2014 was the add-on SAP HANA-optimized version for the Financial Accounting module in SAP Business Suite. In comparison, SAP Simple Finance 2.0 is part of the SAP S/4HANA product that was released in 2015. SAP Simple Finance 2.0 is the redesigned and recoded successor of SAP Simple Finance 1.0.
Note: Today S/4HANA Finance is available as both on-premise and cloud versions. The cloud version is continuously enhanced in approximately quarterly releases. The 1503 release was followed by 1505, 1508, and 1511. (For those of you who have not figured this out yet, in the new numbering convention the first two digits are for the year (2015 in this case) and the last two digits pertain to the month of the year. The on-premise version is enhanced on a yearly basis.
As of September 2015, the term SAP Simple Finance is obsolete. It has been replaced with the term SAP S/4HANA Finance. For the rest of the article, I use the term S/4HANA Finance and focus on the S/4HANA Finance on-premise version, in particular the 1503 release formerly known as Simple Finance 2.0.
Since SAP S4/HANA Finance is part of the S/4HANA suite, it is important to understand what S/4HANA consists of. SAP S/4HANA consists of four components:

Ultrasensitive and selective detection and quantification of dopamine (DA) plays a key role in monitoring neurodegenerative diseases and the detection limit reported is typically in the lower nanomolar range. Pushing the detection limit to picomolar (pM) or lower for this particular target to cover the physiological levels (< 130 pM) is significant. In the following article, DA DNA aptamer (DAAPT) gold nanoparticle (AuNP) conjugate is utilized to enhance the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) signal, which enables to detect and quantify DA in the femtomolar (200 fM) to pM range.Continue Reading

In a recent paper authored by Navaneetha Santhanam et al, published in Biomaterials ((2018) 166 64-78), UCT's specialty chemical 3-trimethoxysilyl propyl diethylenetriamine (DETA), an amine-terminated alkylsilane, was employed to promote cell adhesion. This study was designed to develop and evaluate a prototype of a drug-screening platform for neuromuscular junctions at different modes of operation: presynaptic and/or postsynapticContinue Reading
In a recent study published in Drug Testing and Analysis (DOI: 10.1002/dta.2378), authored by Heather K. Knych et al, UCT's Clean Screen® DAU was employed to extract grapiprant following oral administration to exercised thoroughbred horses. Grapiprant is a newly approved non‐ cyclooxygenase inhibiting non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drug that has demonstrated efficacy and safety in other species. As long‐term use of these drugs can adversely impact the health of the horse, anti‐inflammatories with a more favorable safety profile are warranted.Continue Reading

Seth Rogen tapped as roastmaster for Comedy Central roast of James Franco
To pretty much everyone's delight, Seth Rogen will be the roastmaster for Comedy Central's roast of James Franco. Rogen announced the news via twitter saying, "I will be 'Roastmaster' at the Franco Roast on Comedy Central. It's to help promote the Russian release of This Is The End." Rogen and Franco have teamed up multiple times in the past, so we know what an awesome duo they are, making this announcement that much sweeter. They most recently co-starred in the aforementioned summer hit. But before that, they appeared together in Freaks and Geeks, The Green Hornet, and of course, Pineapple Express. While the network has yet to announce who the other roasters will be for the Aug. 18 taping, we're expecting to see additional This is the End costars– Craig Robinson and Jonah Hill, perhaps? Having Michael Cera sling expletive-filled rants on Comedy Central would also be interesting. The roast premieres on Labor Day; that's Monday, Sept. 2 at 10 pm ET.

Supplier diversity certification
In order to classify your company as a diverse business, SRP requires proof of certification. We accept certification from the following organizations:
- The National Minority Supplier Development Council (and/or any of its affiliates)
- The Women's Business Enterprise National Council (and/or any of its affiliates)
- Government agencies and/or entities (City of Phoenix, etc.)
- State agencies and/or entities (Arizona Department of Transportation, etc)
- Clearinghouses
Frequently asked questions
Certification as a woman- or minority-owned business indicates an objective third-party organization has closely examined a business and determined (usually through submitted documents and a site visit) that the business is owned, operated and controlled by a woman or minority or a group of women or minorities. While each certifying agency may have varying standards, most agencies require a business owner to be a U.S. Citizen or have U.S. Resident Alien status and to meet specific criteria proving true ownership and control of the business.
Determining if certification is right for you requires you to examine your business plan to see if you will be able to utilize certification as a tool in growing your business. Certification helps some businesses more than others and in some cases, depending on your product or service and your customer base, certification may not bring significant value to your organization.
Generally speaking, businesses providing products and services marketable to other businesses, corporations or government entities will garner the most value from certification. Examples of businesses which can utilize certification as a resource or tool include, but are not limited to, service providers and consultants, industries not traditionally owned and operated by women such as general contractors, construction companies and electricians, and those within competitive industries such as Information Technology (IT), marketing and advertising. Small businesses or retailers which market directly to the general consumer such as florists, card and gift operations, minor home repair businesses, etc. may not experience a significant benefit, if any, from certification. The value of certification will ultimately rest in how the certification is used, which is usually as a means of gaining access or breaking into accounts.
If some of your corporate or government customers are asking you if you are certified or are encouraging you to become certified, there is a reason for it. Often times, these entities are tracking their dollars spent with diverse businesses (including woman business enterprises (WBEs), minority business enterprises (MBEs), small business enterprises (SBEs), disable veteran business enterprises (DVBEs), etc) by both dollar amount and percentage of total spend. They are tracking these dollars for any number of reasons which may include:
- Business objectives related to customer base, competitive edge, or economic growth
- Contract requirements, meaning one, or more, of their customers with whom they are under contract is requiring them to report diverse spend as a requirement in fulfilling the contract
In the case of contract fulfillment, some of your customers may be facing negative consequences if they fail to comply with diverse business spend requirements. Their contract could possibly be cancelled or not renewed, which could mean lost business to you if you are sub-contracting to them. In complying with contract requirements and mandates, corporations and government entities often require certification as a means of identifying diverse suppliers and protecting the integrity of the diverse business figures they are reporting.
Becoming certified takes time, effort and diligence on your part as a business owner, as it requires a substantial amount of paperwork. Depending on the certifying agency, certification may require a fee as high as $350 and can take up to 90 days from the time you submit your paperwork. You can reduce process time by ensuring complete and accurate information in the packages you submit to the certifying organization. Keep in mind, certifying organizations are required to strictly adhere to standards in order to protect the integrity of the certification, which makes it more valuable to you once you have it.
Some of the information and documents you may be asked for when applying for certification include, but are not limited to:
- History of the business
- Financial structure
- Business plan
- Proof of citizenship and gender (if applying as a woman-owned business)
- Financial statements
- Customer references
- Loan activity
- Stock certificates
- Tax returns
- Legal structure documents:
- By-laws
- Articles of Incorporation
- Articles of Organization
- Stock Ledgers
- Management agreements
- Franchise/license agreements
- Resumes
- List of employees
- Salary information
- Profit sharing information
- Copies of bank-signature authorization card
Organizations which certify woman- and minority-owned businesses include government entities, such as cities, counties, states and federal agencies, clearinghouses, such as the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Clearinghouse, the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) and the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC). Deciding which organization(s) from which you should pursue certification requires some homework on your part. You want to choose the certification which is likely to be accepted by the majority of your customers.
For example: If the City of Phoenix is one of your primary customers, certifying through the city makes sense for your business. If, on the other hand, your business is of a national or global nature, certifying through WBENC or NMSDC will be more useful to you as both organizations offer a nationally accepted certification.
Detailed information about the organizations and their certification processes can be found on their web sites (both organizations have local affiliates or regional partners):
WBENC's affiliate for the Phoenix area is the Women's Business Enterprise Council-West, and is often referred to as WBEC-West.
NMSDCs regional affiliate is the Grand Canyon Minority Supplier Development Council, or GCMSDC.

Really great stuff by my colleague Chris!
In the world of website creation, on-page SEO is one of the most important factors (if not the most important) in helping potential visitors find your site.
On-page SEO is a term that describes the elements — both content- and code-based — that produce a page that ranks well for searches around a certain topic. Building a perfectly optimized page is challenging; overdoing it might result in penalized sites and poor rankings.
While there are countless guides out there, each with their own opinions on what an optimized page entails, there are a few important factors that practically every SEO resource agrees on — factors that come organically with good content, which search engines love. Let's go through six of the most crucial ones.
Your Audience Comes First
Great content satisfies a need that a person visiting your site has.
The expression "Content is king" has been tossed around the search engine marketing sphere for a number of years. It's used as…

The Toronto Star by Anuradha Dugal 17 April 2012
Apparently, it was supposed to be funny.
In an effort to capitalize on the celebrity of Chris Brown, the hip hop artist who was convicted of assaulting his former girlfriend Rihanna, a Georgia restaurant recently created a new sandwich: "The Caribbean Black and Bleu."
The restaurant slyly tweeted: "Chris Brown won't beat you up for eating this unless your name starts with R and ends with A."
After a public outcry, the sandwich was pulled from the menu.
That's the good news.
The bad news? This is not an isolated incident.
Belvedere Vodka recently launched an online campaign that showed a grinning young man who seems to be trying to force sexual contact on a frightened young woman. The tag line: "Unlike some people, Belvedere always goes down smoothly." The company pulled the ad, but many suspect the whole thing was simply a PR campaign.
Last year, men's clothing retailer Topman was forced to withdraw T-shirts that read: "I'm so sorry, but," followed by excuses: "You provoked me . . . I was drunk . . . I didn't mean it . . . "
It seems violence against women has graduated from social crisis to trendy marketing campaign. The cultural zeitgeist is in motion and businesses have noticed.
So have your kids. Following Brown's controversial appearance at this year's Grammy awards, dozens of young women tweeted: ". . . he can beat me anytime." Last summer, #reasonstobeatyourgirlfriend and #rapistsongs trended big on Twitter. And despite attempts to get them removed, Facebook pages like: "You know she's playing hard to get when she tries to break out of your van," and "You know she's playing hard to get when you use another roll of tape," remain live.
Every day, in dozens of subtle and not-so-subtle ways, our sons and daughters are learning it's okay to treat sexual and physical violence against women as a joke.
This mindset is helping to create an epidemic of teen dating violence, with one in three teens in Canada experiencing some form of abuse in their romantic relationships.
Societies with the strictest gender roles have the highest rates of violence against women, and Canada isn't as far ahead as we assume. If you think gender doesn't matter anymore, you haven't been in a high-school classroom lately. Teachers who deliver Healthy Relationship programs funded by the Canadian Women's Foundation tell us they're often shocked at how fiercely some teens defend creaky old gender stereotypes. This month, a U.S. study of Grade 7 students found that 63 per cent strongly agreed with sentiments like: "When dating, the boy should be smarter than the girl."
Young people may joke about violence, but those who experience it are usually silent. They don't tell their teachers and they certainly don't tell their parents. They're most likely to tell their friends, who are least likely to understand the issue and least able to help. Although teens may be wizards when it comes to technology, their relationship skills can be rudimentary.
A teen who is abused by their date has a much greater chance of being abused later in life. Once learned, abusive behaviour is extremely difficult to change. That's why dating violence is one of the strongest predictors of future violence. Prevention is key, and the earlier in life the better.
Research clearly shows Healthy Relationship programs work. Girls and boys alike learn to recognize the warning signs of an abusive relationship and how to get help. They learn how to create a respectful relationship — romantic or otherwise — a skill they will use for the rest of their life. As one teen said after participating: "It's like you see the world differently. You see the value of the people around you."
However, the message that violence is normal has become so loud, it's going to take a massive, collective effort to be heard above the din.
You can help. Be a positive role model, and talk to your children about relationships. Ask them what their friends are saying, what they're watching online, and what they see in movies and video games. If your local high school doesn't offer a Healthy Relationship program, ask them to start one.
If we work together, we can help our kids beat the odds, and stay safe in their relationships.
