Music has no religion.
Back then, I had just observed that some Hindustani musicians were called Pandit, and some Ustad. I had asked my father why that is so. He had told me, "Simple, Hindu musicians are called "Pandit", and Muslim musicians are called "Ustad". See, Pandit Jasraj, Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, Pandit Dinkar Kaikini are all Hindus, and are called 'Pandit', whereas Ustad Alla Rakha, Ustad Bismillah Khan, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan are all called 'Ustad'". "Oh!", I said, "I hadn't realized that they were Muslims."
I was not thick in the head, nor was I a kid. I was old enough to know one religion from the other. Yet, this minor detail had escaped me. Just like I had not realized that Naushad was a Muslim. And why should it have crossed my mind? It is just not relevant. They are all the same to me - great musicians. Nothing else matters.
Even as my father and I recalled this incident, the reports showed a file clipping of Naushad, speaking on stage in an assembly, where, I think, he was being honoured. He was thanking everybody, and saying, "....I am very fortunate that .... Mujhpe Maa Saraswati ka Ashirwad hai.. " [I have the blessings of Goddess Saraswati]. Whaaaat??? Saraswati? Naushad? Muslim???
My father reminded me that this was nothing new - Ustad Allauddin Khan was a staunch devotee of the Sharada temple at Maihar, reportedly going so far as to refuse to move away from Maihar for medical treatment, saying that if he had to die, he would rather die close to Sharada (Another name for Saraswati). Ustad Bismillah Khan is also a devotee of Saraswati. Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, among many others, sang beautiful compositions in praise of Hindu Gods. Likewise, There are many Urdu compositions which are religious or spiritual in nature, and are sung by all musicians, religion notwithstanding. And why should it matter? After all, it is just music.
No wonder it is said that Music has no Religion.
[Do check out the comments for some more heart-warming examples!]

Music - It knows neither religion nor boundaries! :-)
May Naushad's soul rest in peace!

well, this can be extended to languages too. There are some songs from languages that we dont understand, but, still move to the rythm and beat.
I guess, music has no relevence to politics and politicians. So, it is spared from religion and boundaries !! - 5/08/2006 4:00 PM

Very touching. I am afraid most will not believe you. Alas!
Only after the Babri Masjid incident did I realise that I had a muslim maama - Rehman Maama. I knew that he was a muslim. It never looked incongruous to me to call him maama. I have been planning a blog on this - the death of innocence. That is my greatest grouse against the saffronites.
Similarly Reddy Maama. Incidentally, he died yesterday and here is the report: http://www.hindu.com/2006/05/08/stories/2006050805711200.htm . (Take a look at the family he leaves behind, as listed in this report!)
And Naidu Maama
Coming to the music part of it. I heard Bismillah Khan say "Arre, hum Pakistan chalegaye to Shivji ka rozana seva (playing Shehnai) kaun karega?" (My Hindi is not very good, but I guess I have reproduced what he said correctly. If not, you know what he meant.)
No wonder Allauddin Khan's daughter is Annapoorna Devi.
I also heard Bismillah Khan play a beautiful Yaman and ask the audience "what jaat is this?" Defiantly – almost. And with the amusement of a father about his son's follies. Kind, loving, still contemptuous.
Gangubai was honoured in Mysore. An association of the community to which she belongs offered a garland to her. She accepted it but in her speech took exception to it. We musicians are just musicians. But people like this remind us to what community we belong to.
The past great "GNB", G N Balasubrahmaniam, once touched the feet of Bade Ghulam Ali Khan after a concert to the great consternation of the orthodox Brahmin community. He could not care less. He was paying obeisance to a great master. In some ways, their music was similar. Vigorous lightning quick birkhas were the hallmark of both.
On a lighter note (musically speaking) who can forget the innumerable devotional songs of Md Rafi?
Religion is and must remain personal. If it comes between people it is blasphemy. In music it is unthinkable. Or should be. - 5/08/2006 6:13 PM

Good post,
To this day my favorite bhajan in a hindi movie along with "Allah Tero Naam" is "Man tadpat hari darshan ko aaj" from Baiju Bawra, which was sung by Mohd Rafi, music by Naushad and written by Shakeel Badayuni!! - 5/08/2006 10:40 PM
- Manasi said...
HOw true! If only we all could be 'musical'.
Naushad's music was amazing, soulful and all through those many long years he never failed to enchant us. People like him come scarce.
A moment of silence in his honour. - 5/08/2006 11:06 PM
Same Old Anon: In the same light I recall an incident that I read in some magazine some years ago.
The greatly talented and gifted singer - KJ Yesudas once attended a felicitation ceremony which was organised by some association from his community.
Someone there probed him as to why he sings devotional songs in praise of Lord Aiyappa and why he spents nearly 15 days every year without fail at Kollur, praying to Goddess Mookambika.....and that he should instead limit his devotional songs in praise of Lord Jesus....
According to that report, Yesudas left that function immediately saying that he does not want to be felicitated by a group who mixes music and religion..... - 5/09/2006 8:44 AM

Asatyanveshi: Haudu :(
Kalyan: Ghazals are in Urdu yes, but I don't think the majority of them have any religious meanings.. spiritual, yes, but religious - haven't really heard any like that. But then yes, even if it did, how does it matter? :)
direkishore: Correct!! That is one excellent example!
Manasi: Absolutely.
Same old Anon: Hey that was a very interesting incident indeed! Thank you! Makes me feel good :) - 5/09/2006 9:24 AM

Let alone music, in all creative fields, religion takes a back seat. Take the case of Rahi Masoom Raza, the great script writer. Wrote all the episodes of Mahabharatha!Javed Akhthar is no exception.

Harsha: You are so right... it's very unfortunate. A religion-less world is .. sigh.. a beautiful dream!

I recall one more incident here. Sometimes back, I was watching an interview of the South-Indian legendary film singer SPBalasubramaniam. The interviewer asked him 'Sir, you speak Telugu as good as you speak Kannada. You speak Tamil as good as Malayalam. You manage to speak Hindi too. We are confused as to which is your mother tongue!!' For which the legend answered "My Mother tongue is music." !! What a great answer.
True. Music has no religion, it has no other confinities like language, boundaries nothing. - 5/09/2006 5:03 PM

shruthi, well written. as u said, music has no religion. want to share an incident with u: few years back, i had the good fortune of meeting MS Subbulakshmi. her drawing room walls were covered with pictures of great singers of all times. i also found a picture of Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan amidst all these pictures. i told her he had referred to her as SUSWARALKSHMI SUBBULAKSHMI. she told she was blessed to have learnt under him!
great people are truly humble. - 5/09/2006 5:44 PM
very very very well written.
A touching incident though most people will not look into the depth of it.Brilliant! - 5/10/2006 12:09 AM

nice post
Raskhan, one of the greatest poet who wrote poems about Krishna was a muslim. And the best Bhajan in the history of hindi movies, "Man tadapat hari darshan ko aaj man", from movie Baiju Bawra, was written by Mazrooh sultanpuri, composed by Naushad and sung by Mohd. Rafi...
Music has no religion.... - 5/10/2006 4:09 PM
- Shruthi said...
Kandarp: Thanks! I hadn't heard of Raskhan, thanks for this info!
Also, the lyricist for "Man tadpat" was Shakeel Badayuni, as another commenter has already written! (I googled for this too, and found that it was indeed Shakeel Badayuni). But yes, the point is that he was a Muslim :) - 5/10/2006 5:23 PM
Music achieves religion. But none of us understand what religion is or has really lived religion and it is this that makes us either to be in one or to be out of it. Neither do we understand music. Without knowing, being any of these we say Music has no Religion and call that profundity. What a pity. Music is religion.
- Raaji - 5/10/2006 5:52 PM
- Shruthi said...
Raaji: In this post, I was just expressing my pleasure about the fact that in this mad mad world where religion seems to be the focus of everything, music is such a beautiful thing that when you listen to it, the last thing you think about is the religion of either the singer, or composer. Simple. I am not talking about understanding music deeply. YOu really need not understand, you can just just enjoy listening.
All of us have been tagged with a religion whether we like it or not. This tag is mising in music. That is the message of this post! :) - 5/11/2006 12:24 PM
- Ranjit Nair said...
Shruthi, another related story - a K.J.Yesudas one. As Anon has mentioned somewhere here, Yesudas (also spelled as Jesudas sometimes) dominated the Malayalam music industry like nobody had ever before (even Lata did not have such a profound effect on Hindi music, I think), and as a result he has sung a huge volume of bhajans and religious songs (on Krishna, Ayyappa and almost any other god you can think of). Any temple in the state would have the glorious voice of Yesudas blaring through their bell-shaped speakers (illegal, btw!).
Yet, there are many temples (Guruvayoor being the most famous, perhaps) who refuse entry to Yesudas, because he is 'Christian'. If this isn't hypocrisy, then what is? - 5/13/2006 8:26 AM
- Shruthi said...
Ranjit: Right! I was really saddened hen I read that news about him denied entry in Guruvayoor.
Actually until then, I hadn't realized he was a Christian! Then I thought, silly me, its so obvious - there is "Yesu" in his name! - 5/13/2006 9:22 AM
- k'dar said...
hey! thnx for the info.
call it ignorance or greatness,i always keep/kept musicans away from religion.
the same incident of u'rs happened with me...but with A.R.Rehman. it was difficult for me to digest that he is of a "different religion".
indeed-MUSIC HAS NO RELIGION. - 5/13/2006 11:44 PM
Dear k'dar
He is not from a "different religion". It is only that he was born a Hindu and later converted to Islam.
A lot has been talked about Rahman's conversion to Islam. In fact the quiet music composer even received a lot of flak for the same. It was in the year 1989 that Dileep Kumar and his family converted into Islam. In 1988, one of his sisters fell seriously ill and in spite of the family's effort to cure her, her health deteriorated by the day. They happened to meet a Muslim Pir - Sheik Abdul Qadir Jeelani or Pir Qadri. His prayers and blessings did wonders to his sister who made a miraculous comeback to life. Thus began the journey of A.S.Dileep Kumar to A.R. Rahman. - 5/18/2006 5:00 PM
- Shruthi said...
K'dar: My pleasure :) For that matter, even I had a moment of "Ohhh Rehman is a Muslim"!
Bellur Ramakrishna: Thanks for the info! - 5/30/2006 4:38 PM
See Music is Born from Sama Veda... that is why all these Muslim masters of music respect Saraswathi and all other Hindu Gods..when you really into Music you will know.
Now a days K.J. Yesudas even though he is born as a christian he is living a Hindu's life.
First of all we should be proud of our religion and then become spiritual! - 11/12/2006 12:13 AM

How do different financing conditions affect investments, allocation of credit and output across sectors? IESE's José M. Campa, Óscar Arce, of the Bank of Spain, and Ángel Gavilán, of BBVA, explore financing conditions in the construction sector in a number of OECD countries during the decade prior to the 2007 financial crisis. Their findings present an interesting model, with salutary lessons for investors.
Sancho, Carlos; Santomá, Javier
If two companies from different countries with a contractual relationship have a conflict, it behooves them to go through an arbitrator rather than the national court system. According to IESE's Carlos Sancho and Javier Santomá, the procedure is faster, less expensive and ensures a greater degree of confidentiality than a lawsuit.

Sixty years a portrait of Jesus has hung in one Ohio middle school along with other well known an influential people throughout history.
But that may be coming to an end the freedom from religion foundation and the ACLU say it violates the First Amendment and why taken down.
-- now free fair and balanced debate Dan barker co president of the freedom from religion foundation.
And Hiram Sasser for from the liberty institute which is assisting the school district in this matter.
I -- start with skill on the what have you been able to tell the school this point about this demand that the portrait of Jesus has got to down.
Well we've been that tasked by the school district to do AO report and recommendation.
That one of the things that that that we found out is that.
You know this is the backbone of America Jackson Ohio these are hard working folks and they've they've been part of building America.
And they sent a lot of people over seas are world war two and just afterwards they were experiencing a lot of the the whole open -- and -- -- yet.
At an end and looking towards a better future just post World War II.
But suddenly one of the members of the high -- club Christian club there in 1947.
Who's going to be the valedictorian franc rise he died of leukemia.
And that was the year the high why club put the Jesus portrait up.
In this school they hung it up for themselves and even in subsequent years -- taken pictures with it.
To identify with -- with their club.
And so I think -- it's a shame that that the freedom from religion foundation wants to come down and and and and from Wisconsin.
And go to Jackson Ohio tell them they can't have that they -- -- -- can have its Judith portrait anymore in the.
Why are we had a little trouble getting Dan barker who represents that organization on we'll have them up as soon as we can.
But let me just -- responds with this group is saying they say that.
Basically a portrait of Jesus in a public school is announcing two government endorsement of religion.
It violates the first and now and then and there's no way that -- can stay.
-- -- so you know we're in the -- -- processor do on our our investigation but why one thing is is is pretty clear is that.
We we have bay in this case the high why -- -- Christian club that put it up in 1947.
The year that frank writes died of leukemia.
And you know I I think we're gonna be very careful when it comes to dealing with the free speech rights of the -- why club.
And other clubs that may be allowed to deal would have put up portraits and posters.
And yet to be very careful many situations not to infringe upon their free speech rights in their religious liberty rights as well.
I -- a number of school districts around the country -- faced a similar losses at this point were not to the point of a lawsuit in this particular case.
And this portrait as part of a hall that does include other historic people people from the community.
Over the years that are important to this school.
-- but for the average and school districts facing this kind of demand apparently there was a complaint by somebody who was offended by that portrait thought it was inappropriate for the public school.
How does the school way in making these decisions because it's not an expensive to have an attorney I understand your organization -- stepped in free of charge here.
But some school districts that may simply be intimidated and say this isn't a fight we can afford to take on.
Well -- the freedom from religion foundation sends out.
About a thousand letters a year.
Threatening lawsuits but with their small staff and budget they're not able to bring a lawsuit in every one of those are counting on.
School districts deciding that they just want to back down and and give -- without doing a proper investigation that's why liberty institute.
I stands ready to to help any school district that receives one of these letters.
Because we want to be able to do the investigation historical research at the Supreme Court says has to be done.
Before -- any determination can be made as to whether or not portrait like this -- it would be allowed to step.
-- Karen Sasser we thank you for your time our apologies to our viewers that Dan barker from freedom from foundation.
Freedom from religion foundation.
Was not part of this isn't technical difficulties we welcome him we want to share both viewpoints on the story we think it's important.
We will try to do that as soon as possible -- thank you for your time.
I think for having --

Bench effort keys No. 12 EMCC to 86-65 tourney win over Brunswick |
HUTCHINSON, Kan. –- Sparked by 39 collective points from the bench, the 12th-ranked East Mississippi Lions made a successful debut in their first NJCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship showing with a solid 86-65 first-round victory over Brunswick (NC) Tuesday afternoon at the Hutchinson Sports Arena.
In making their initial appearance in the 63rd annual postseason event, the EMCC Lions advance to meet Navarro College (TX) in second-round action of the championship bracket Wednesday at 8 p.m. CT. A video stream broadcast of the contest will be available via the Internet by logging onto www.njcaa.org/tv. Improving their season record to 27-5, the EMCC Lions received a career-first double-double from reserve forward Richard Dixon and a career-high 16 points from backup guard Joe McCoy. A freshman from Baton Rouge, La., Dixon notched his fourth double digit-scoring effort in the last five games – all coming during the postseason – with 17 points and a career-high 13 rebounds. Hitting 8-of-13 shots from the field, Dixon's scoring total was one point shy of his season-high 18 points scored against Northeast Mississippi in the opening round of the NJCAA Region 23 Tournament. "This was a total team effort today by our guys," said EMCC third-year head coach Mark White, recently tabbed this year's NJCAA Division I/District 15 Men's Basketball Coach of the Year. "With CoCo Ware playing only 24 minutes because of foul trouble, we had some players really step it up for us out there." With Ware, a preseason second-team NJCAA All-American, saddled with second-half foul trouble, McCoy stepped up to hit 6-of-7 shots from the field and 4-of-6 from the line en route to his career-best scoring effort. A freshman from Raymond, McCoy's previous season high of 10 points came against Bevill State in January. Limited to a season-low 24 minutes of action, Ware finished with a season-low four points to also match his career low coming in the third game of his collegiate career a year ago. A hot-shooting Brunswick team initially put East Mississippi in an early hole, as the Dolphins took a 25-16 lead on Tyree Graham's 3-pointer with 11:07 remaining in the opening half. The Lions came alive with 11 unanswered points to reclaim the lead (27-25) and used a 9-2 run later in the half to maintain a 45-40 halftime lead. "We didn't panic in the first half, because we knew they were a good team and they were making some tough shots," White added. "In the second half, we continued to stay with our game plan and play with tough, aggressive man-to-man defense. I thought we did a better job in the second half of attacking, driving the ball and getting to the free-throw line." Following back-to-back baskets from Brunswick's Chris Smith two minutes into the second stanza, EMCC's reserves began to make an impact. Dixon and McCoy combined for 10 points between them during a key stretch that saw the Lions increase a five-point lead to 14 points (65-51) with 9:08 left in the contest. From there, the Dolphins could not get any closer than a dozen points, as EMCC kept adding to the eventual 21-point triumph. After both teams shot better than 53 percent through the opening half of play, East Mississippi held Brunswick to 29-percent (9-of-31) shooting from the field and to only 25 points over the final 20 minutes. The Lions' defensive intensity translated to the offensive end, as they connected on a sizzling 65 percent (17-of-26) from the floor during the closing period to finish the contest shooting a season-high 58.6 percent (34-of-58) on the day. With four players scoring in double figures, freshman guard Deonte Alexander, from Nashville, Tenn., contributed 16 points and seven assists for the winners. Rookie forward Marino Thompson, a former Southeast Lauderdale product, added a dozen points for the Lions, including hitting three of the team's first five baskets during the opening few minutes of play. In falling to 23-11 on the year and into the consolation bracket of this week's double-elimination tournament in Hutchinson, Brunswick was led by Tyree Graham's 17 points. Alan-Michael Thompson and Marcus Graham followed with 12 and 11 points, respectively. Fans are also able to follow this week's NJCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship by visiting www.njcaabbtrny.org to access official brackets, live stats, game results, and additional information about the tournament. |

A new article describes the process of nature therapy, where psychotherapists use nature to help in their work with their clients. Outdoor enthusiast Joshua Fink comments on this new type of treatment.
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 20, 2013
A new article released by the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel describes the process of nature therapy, where psychotherapists rely on the natural world to help their clients attain healing. Eco-psychology, a relatively new field, is becoming increasingly popular as research supporting the psychological benefits of interaction with nature continues to develop. Joshua Fink, outdoor enthusiast, believes in the importance of this new type of psychology.
The article explains that eco-therapists assign homework to clients, and use nature-based rituals, symbols and ceremonies as part of the healing process. Much of their information relies upon ancient knowledge provided by civilization's earliest form of mental healers. These individuals understood that nature had the ability to promote emotional healing, and they used it to help troubled citizens.
Modern eco-therapists rely on behavioral science to confirm the beliefs held by ancient civilizations. Nature is able to provide comfort and enlightenment to those in need. An example of applied nature therapy involves encouraging patients to head to a "healing space" in the natural world. It is spot that provides beauty and mystery. This space differs from person to person. For some it is a waterfall, while to others it may be a woodland stream.
These healing spaces work to address emotional, intellectual, and spiritual needs. People may go there to think about important decisions, release toxic feelings (such as resentment) and quiet their mind as they nurture their creativity, release their worries, and gain greater perspective.
Joshua Fink states, "Nature provides a range of benefits. From giving an individual a chance to exercise, spend time with loved ones, and find peace, there is no limit to the offerings that can be found when the choice is made to venture outdoors. The outside world played a major role in my life, and was always a way for me to relax after a busy day."
A healing space in nature, whether real or imagined, is able to help an individual heal, grow, and find clarity. There are instances in history of spiritual and political leaders venturing into nature when they needed enlightenment.
Joshua Fink adds to this thought, "It's hard to continue to feel overwhelmed or worried with the burdens of the 21st century world when you're quietly sitting in the forest near a stream. You no longer have to worry about responding to dozens of e-mails or returning text messages. It's a time for peace and relaxation, and that's what many people crave in a busy society."
Joshua Fink is an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys spending his time snowshoeing, canoeing, hiking, and fishing. His adult children share his passion, and frequently join their father on these expeditions. In his youth, Joshua Fink successfully scaled peaks like Mt. Everest and Kilimanjaro.

While many Republicans have already diagnosed their party's problems after the presidential loss earlier this month, the chairman of the Republican National Committee is saying not so fast.
"I don't think you can draw any quick conclusions other than the fact that we lost and we know that," Reince Priebus said Tuesday on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight," the chairman's first television interview since the election. "But in order to get back in the game, you've got to look at and do a full autopsy of what happened."
Priebus said that over the next several weeks the party will dive deep into analysis of the recent election and come up with a four-year game plan tailored to avoid the mistakes it made this time.
Many Republicans in recent weeks have called for a "bigger tent" party that will be more representative of the country's changing demographics. They cite President Barack Obama's overwhelming victory among minority groups. Obama he took 71% of the Latino vote and 93% of the African American vote, according to CNN exit polls.
Priebus, however, did not wade into specifics Tuesday, saying only that the party will undergo a review and draft a plan that "both the grassroots and the donors and everyone in between can buy into for the next go-around."
Asked whether he believed the party's choice of Mitt Romney as the nominee was a mistake, Priebus said, "No, I don't think so at all."
"I think he would have made a great president," Priebus told Morgan.
He did acknowledge, however, that Obama's campaign had "something that was pretty good" in terms of its ground game and pledged that the party would look at taking a similar approach.
"What we can conclude is that we've got to be better, and that's something that we're committed to doing," he said.
Priebus also weighed in on the efforts to avert the so-called fiscal cliff, a massive amount of tax hikes and spending cuts that will kick in next year if Congress fails to act. The RNC chair accused the president of not sharing his plan with the American public.

DICK'S Sporting Goods offers a variety of cleats for men, women and kids. Cleats are available from top brands like Nike, Adidas, Puma and Under Armour. At DICK'S, you'll find cleats in a variety of colors for specific sports, like football, lacrosse, baseball and soccer cleats. Choose from low-cut cleats, mid-cut cleats and high-top cleats depending on your specific needs.
There are several sport-specific options for you, such as soccer, baseball or softball, football, lacrosse, track and field, field hockey and rugby cleats. If you are in need of replacement cleats for your football, soccer, baseball or track shoes, you'll find plenty of options from the brands you love at DICK'S.
Construction of the uppers of your cleats is an important part of your purchase decision. Cleat uppers made of leather are typically breathable. While uppers made of synthetic material may not be as breathable as leather uppers, they do offer reinforced foot and ankle areas.
When deciding between plastic or metal cleats, make sure you become familiar with the regulations of the sport you are playing. Plastic cleats are molded and safer, and some metal and molded cleats can be interchanged or replaced to provide better traction and extend the life of the cleat.
Another major consideration is the sport you will be playing. Soccer cleats have a lower cut with smaller, molded spikes. Football and lacrosse cleats typically have a higher-cut for increased ankle support and long cleats for increased traction for leverage and when making quick movements.
Choose cleats that provide support in the cut zones along with overall protection. An EVA insole cushions the foot and reduces muscle strain. Quickframe outsoles enhance speed and allow for smooth lateral movements that reduce risk of injury. The tongues on your cleats need a lock-down fit that naturally contours to your foot for a wide range of motion.
Look for metal cleat configuration for improved traction, and go with a full-length EVA footbed for proper shock absorption. Depending upon your sport, spikes should be positioned specifically for your season, enhancing your running, pitching or other movements.
Synthetic leather provides a snug fit and comfort for all-day play. Cleats that include a sockliner will bring additional comfort and support that's ideal for young players, while a lightweight feel is a priority for all.

A general view of eBay headquarters in San Jose, California is pictured in this February 25, 2010 file photograph. REUTERS/Robert Galbraith/Files
By Alistair Barr
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - EBay Inc reported holiday quarter results that beat Wall Street expectations as the e-commerce company benefited from a boom in mobile shoppers, but it gave a cautious forecast for 2013, restraining share price gains.
The stock rose 1 percent to $53.43 in after-hours trading following the announcement.
Expectations were high ahead of the results because sales data from outside sources suggested strong sales growth from eBay's online marketplace and a solid increase in transactions processed by the company's PayPal payments business.
EBay's online marketplace, one of the largest in the world, has lagged behind the growth of e-commerce and Amazon.com Inc for several years. But under Chief Executive John Donahoe, eBay has invested to improve the buying experience by upgrading search capabilities and prodding sellers to provide more services such as free shipping and easier returns.
The explosive growth of mobile shopping and popular mobile shopping applications have also attracted millions of new consumers to eBay's marketplace and PayPal in the past year.
"These are great numbers," said Bill Smead of Smead Capital Management, which owns eBay shares. "The marketplace business used to be a noose around their neck, but now it's a key destination for people wanting to buy new goods as well as existing goods."
Amazon shares edged up less than 1 percent to $269.50 in after-hours trading, close to a record. The world's largest Internet retailer is due to report fourth-quarter results on January 29.
On Wednesday, eBay said fourth-quarter revenue jumped 18 percent to $3.99 billion. Profit came in at $927 million, or 70 cents a share, in the period. That compares with profit of $789 million, or 60 cents a share, in the same quarter last year.
EBay was expected to earn 69 cents a share on revenue of $3.98 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
EBay forecast 2013 revenue of $16 billion to $16.5 billion and profit of $2.70 to $2.75 a share. Wall Street was calling for revenue of $16.3 billion and profit of $2.74 a share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
"We feel great about 2012 and are carrying that momentum into 2013," said eBay Chief Financial Officer Bob Swan, during a conference call with analysts.
Still, he said PayPal profit margins will be flat in 2013, compared to 2012, while eBay marketplace margins will be in line with previous forecasts, as the company invests for future growth opportunities.
EBay's results were partly driven by rapid growth in mobile shoppers, many of whom bought on eBay.com and with PayPal for the first time.
For 2012 as a whole, more than 4.3 million new users came to eBay through mobile devices, CEO Donahoe said.
The company's online marketplace handled $13 billion in mobile transactions during the year, more than double the volume in 2011. PayPal processed almost $14 billion in mobile payments, more than triple the previous year.
EBay expects both businesses to handle more than $20 billion in mobile transactions each in 2013, the CEO said.
Mobile consumers shop more frequently than personal computer users because they have their smartphones and tablets with them a lot more of the time, Donahoe explained.
EBay's mobile business is also a good way to expand into new countries, the CEO added, citing new mobile applications designed for Brazil and Russia.
In so-called BRIC countries - Brazil, Russia, India and China - as well as emerging markets, many consumers will access the web for the first time using a mobile device, Donahoe said.
"In the BRIC and emerging markets, our new user growth is very significant," the CEO added. "Our 2013 and '14 plans really are stepping on the gas of leveraging our global platforms in those BRIC and emerging markets for new users... We think it's a huge opportunity."

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Ray Lewis will end his brilliant 17-year NFL career after the Baltimore Ravens complete their 2013 playoff run.
Lewis has been sidelined since Oct. 14 with a torn right triceps. The 13-time Pro Bowl middle linebacker intends to return Sunday to face the Indianapolis Colts in what will almost certainly be his final home game.
"I talked to my team today," Lewis said Wednesday. "I talked to them about life in general. And everything that starts has an end. For me, today, I told my team that this will be my last ride."
Lewis will walk away from the game because he wants to spend more time with his two sons. While working to return from his injury, Lewis watched them play on the same high school football team, and he intends to watch Ray Lewis III perform as a freshman next year for his alma mater, the University of Miami.
"God is calling," the 37-year-old Lewis said. "My children have made the ultimate sacrifice for their father for 17 years. I don't want to see them do that no more. I've done what I wanted to do in this business, and now it's my turn to give them something back."
Which means he'll pull off his No. 52 uniform for the last time after the Ravens are eliminated or win the Super Bowl.
"It's either hold onto the game and keep playing and let my kids miss out on times we can be spending together," Lewis said. "Because I always promised my son if he got a full ride on scholarship Daddy is going to be there. I can't miss that."
Lewis was the AP Defensive Player of the Year in 2000, when Baltimore won the Super Bowl title, and in 2003.
"I never played the game for individual stats. I only played the game to make my team a better team," he said.

Teacher Education
If you want to be part of the next generation of outstanding teachers and make a real difference to young peoples' lives, our Teacher Education courses will start you on your journey.
Our experienced team are passionate about education and strive to find better ways to prepare the next generation of teachers through cutting-edge research and outstanding community-based partnerships with schools.
Our Teacher Education courses are practical and delivered in excellent facilities. So, if you aspire to teach, join us to make a difference.
Friends, Study and Community Partnerships
At ECU, we strive to support seamless study for all. Our student association, known as Network Teach, will provide you with the opportunity to study with friends and to contribute to community projects.
The student association group at Joondalup received the 2011 Vice‑Chancellor's award for peer mentoring, and the group at Mount Lawley has been granted funding to mentor Indigenous Australian students at Mount Lawley Senior High School.
Learning in Schools
Our courses in Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary Teacher Education are renowned for their extensive professional practice, making our graduates job-ready and preferred by many employers.
We have strong partnerships with over 500 public and private schools in local and regional areas. Experienced professionals guide our students in developing knowledge and skills to work in a range of educational settings from early childhood through to secondary schools.
"Studying my course at ECU has provided me with the knowledge and skills I need to succeed."
"I always enjoyed physical education from a young age and participated in a range of sports. At high school I was given the opportunity to teach primary school students how to play tennis, and in upper school I attended lower school sport carnivals and helped coach the students. My ideal career option was to become a Physical Education Teacher and to teach students how to play sport and to experience the same enjoyment I did.
The knowledge and skills I have developed during my course have provided me with the opportunity to be the most successful teacher I can be. The course content is well designed and contains a balance of both education and sports science units.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my study experience at ECU. Throughout my course I have been provided with the skills and knowledge that are required to successfully advance my career as a teacher. "
Bree White
Secondary Education graduate
Engaging with Schools
At ECU, your study will focus on the needs of schools of today and will be supported through many rewarding classroom experiences in our partnership schools.
Our team of educators have established research centres through the Fogarty Foundation at Roseworth Primary School and Ashdale Secondary College, to provide students with observation rooms and video facilities to support and enrich our teaching program.
Science for Kids Day
Science for Kids (S-Kids) day allows primary school children from across metropolitan and regional areas to visit our Mount Lawley campus for the day and experience hands‑on science activities with enthusiastic Science teachers and ECU teaching students. Children take part in a number of exciting and engaging activities that bring science and teacher education together.
What do our employers have to say?
Len Christie, Beechboro Primary School Principal, says
"ECU students and graduates are task orientated and genuinely enjoy working with children and colleagues. They possess competence, confidence and a willingness to listen and act on advice.
"From our experience ECU teaching graduates stand out. We actively recruit those graduates who have performed well in our school," he says.
"Having hands-on experience was definitely the most beneficial aspect of the course."
"As early as primary school I knew I wanted to become a teacher. ECU really encouraged me to develop the diverse range of skills needed for this fantastic career path. From exceptionally knowledgeable and professional lecturers and tutors who really understood student needs to the hands-on experience of the 10-week Assistant Teaching Program, the experience has been positive and has given me the ability to be a confident and effective teacher"

How to discover services
lunes, 16 de abril de 2012 13:47
I have succesfully deployed a service that autostarts and also exposes a discovery-endpoint (with a CustomBinding).
Based on the messages in the EventLog the service works fine.
I also created a Client that calls the service. This works fine as long as I use explicit endpoints but when I try to use a dynamic endpoint based onhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd456792.aspx
I get a message that the CustomBinding cannot be found.
This is my clientsideconfiguration<system.serviceModel> <bindings> <customBinding> <binding name="discoBindingConfiguration"> <discoveryClient> <endpoint kind="discoveryEndpoint" address=http://localhost/ServiceClients/DiscoveryClient binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="basicHttpBinding"/> <findCriteria duration="00:00:10" maxResults="2"> <types> <add name="WhiteRebel.AutoStart.Contract.v1.IAutoStart"/> </types> <scopes /> </findCriteria> </discoveryClient> <textMessageEncoding messageVersion="Soap11"/> <httpTransport /> </binding> </customBinding> </bindings> <client> <endpoint kind="dynamicEndpoint" binding="CustomBinding" contract="WhiteRebel.AutoStart.Contract.v1.IAutoStart" endpointConfiguration="discoBindingConfiguration" /> </client> </system.serviceModel>
I can't find very much information about the specific requirements for the customBinding, like
a. Should the adress="http://localhost/. . . . " conform to some rules?
b. Is there a specific binding I should use (other than basicHttpBinding).
c. Anything else I didn't think of.I have looked on the internet to find more information, but most of it is unspecific. Also the information in "Programming WCF Services" O'Reilly 3rd edition isn't clear on this subject. It seems esy enough but I can't get it to work.
The service is running on a Windows 2008 R2 server with AppFabric.
The client is running on a Windows 7 platform.
There are not other machines in the network.Nico

Does this link help you? http://robbincremers.me/2012/01/06/wcf-dynamic-endpoint-discovery-with-udpdiscoveryendpoint-and-discoveryclient-with-findcriteria-and-scope/
On this link he is not using a custom binding. On his client configuration he is using WSHttpBinding. This MSDN example also shows calling the service using the WSHttpBinding: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee816864.aspx
