It forces you to connect with your customers more authentically and market your ideas more imaginatively.

Too many of us are doing the former - and our lives are slipping away one day at a time. But what if we treated life like the gift that it is?

AUGUSTA – Governor John E. Baldacci today signed into law LD 1020, An Act to End Discrimination in Civil Marriage and Affirm Religious Freedom.
"I have followed closely the debate on this issue. I have listened to both sides, as they have presented their arguments during the public hearing and on the floor of the Maine Senate and the House of Representatives. I have read many of the notes and letters sent to my office, and I have weighed my decision carefully," Governor Baldacci said. "I did not come to this decision lightly or in haste."The governor goes on to say:
"While the good and just people of Maine may determine this issue, my responsibility is to uphold the Constitution and do, as best as possible, what is right.

Gov. Baldacci's signing of the marriage equality bill represents another historic step toward obtaining the security and protections of marriage for all loving, committed couples.

Fricot à la Poule
This dish is a variation of a stew served at Étoile de Mer, a traditional Acadian restaurant in Mont-Carmel.
Active time: 1 1/4 hr Start to finish: 1 3/4 hr
Leave a Review
Found this to be a bit bland. Added boullion for more flavor and more flour to thicken. Will use chicken stock next time. Just had a bowl for lunch - gotta say, better the next day! Family did love it!
Such a yummy, flavorful soup! Following earlier comments, I added a cube of mushroom bullion to the water. I also omitted onion. I would highly recommend this soup, just realize how much fat you are signing yourself up for. Other recipes discard the bacon strips, but this one keeps them. I think next time I will try one of the other stewed chicken recipes for a healthier alternative. Still, it was very, very good.
I love this dish. I have made it several times and it is always a hit. I add extra carrots and use 3-4 cups of chicken broth as substitute for the water. I also add a little minced garlic but that is optional. I have used leftover ham though the salt pork lends a creaminess to the dish. While it is not a heavy gravy stew, it has a richness that goes great with a good salad, sourdough bread & butter. Great rainy day dish.
I had a completely different experience with this recipe. Came out more like a soup with potted chicken. Really nothing 'stew-ish' about it. Followed the directions to the letter...the boullion would have definitely helped and I probably should have added more flour to thicken the broth.
Not sure why this recipe does not have more reviews and accolades. Maybe those who enjoyed it (like me) did not leave a review. This is a great year-round comfort food dish. I have made it before and plan to serve it for a committee meeting this week.
The recipe is very easy to follow and prepare. I added chicken bouillon cubes in with the water addition. I served it with a salad and good italian bread. It makes a filling summer meal.

It has come to my attention that the Marion County Fiscal Court has terminated Jeff Wooldridge, the best Animal Shelter Officer we have ever had! What were they thinking? Jeff didn't put animals to sleep after 15 days because he and all the volunteers worked hard at finding them homes and were very successful! The shelter was run like a concentration camp for the animals before Jeff took over. Since he has been there, it has been clean and the animals very well cared for. He invited volunteers in to help and that worked out very well for the animals. They all got lots of love.

The early twenty-first century is an era of genetics. Genetic science, genetic technologies, genetically based diseases, animal and human cloning, and genetically modified organisms are regular visitors to the news and entertainment culture. Together with the revolution in information technologies, and sometimes going hand in hand, the biotech revolution promises to transform the world. The well-known successes of molecular biology in the 1950s and 1960s have transformed biology and especially genetics. But because from the very beginning genetics has been intimately involved with human values, the revolutionary changes of this science and technology have challenged moral reflection.
A brief historical review of the development of genetics research will help place such challenges in context. For present purposes this history may conveniently be divided into three periods. The first, and longest, period was one of protogenetics, in which human values played a dominant...

"Weathering the Storm: Rebuilding a More Resilient New York City Housing Authority Post-Sandy" uses data from 600 surveys, interviews and background research, to reveal some of the major issues that NYCHA residents have faced since Hurricane Sandy, such as slow and inadequate repairs, malfunctioning boilers, mold and a lack of job opportunities. The report offers practical and effective solutions that the new NYCHA Chair and City leadership can use as a roadmap as they partner with community based organizations to assess how to spend Sandy related funds, revise NYCHA's emergency procedures and consider broader NYCHA reforms.
This report was produced and written in collaboration with community organizations across the City, including Alliance for a Greater New York (ALIGN), Alliance for a Just Rebuilding (AJR), Community Voices Heard, Faith in New York, Families United for Racial and Economic Equality (FUREE), Good Old Lower East Side (GOLES), New York Communities for Change, and Red Hook Initiative, with main research and writing support from the Community Development Project at the Urban Justice Center.
Read below for the Executive Summary and click on the image to download the full report.
Executive Summary
When Hurricane Sandy hit New York City on October 29th, 2012, approximately 80,000 people residing in over 400 New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) buildings lost many essential services such as electricity, use of elevators, heat and hot water. The City's response to Hurricane Sandy was slow and communication to residents before, during and after the storm was inadequate. As a result, many community-based organizations stepped in to provide relief to residents in need. More than a year after Sandy, residents in hard hit areas across New York City still face serious problems related to the storm such as mold, elevator malfunction and rodent infestation. 24 temporary boilers which remain in 16 developments break down easily leaving residents with sporadic heat and hot water. These problems were uncovered and exacerbated by Sandy but they are not new; policy choices and disinvestment over the last decade have caused NYCHA residents to live in an ongoing state of neglect.
As an estimated $3.2 billion federal dollars comes into New York City for relief and resiliency efforts (including $308 million for NYCHA) and NYCHA revamps its Hurricane Emergency Procedure, several community organizations across the City, in conjunction with the Alliance for a Just Rebuilding, including Community Voices Heard, Good Old Lower East Side, Families United for Racial and Economic Equality, Red Hook Initiative, Faith in NY and NY Communities for Change have come together with research support from the Community Development Project at the Urban Justice Center to assess how NYCHA residents living in storm-affected zones are faring and to develop solutions for how NYCHA and the City can address the issues exposed by Sandy.
For this research, participating community groups surveyed public housing residents living in NYCHA buildings in Zone 1 (formerly Zone A) as well as a few heavily impacted buildings that were formerly in Zone B, collecting 597 surveys in total. Surveys were conducted in Coney Island, Lower East Side, Far Rockaway, Red Hook and Gowanus. The main findings include:
Weak government response and poor communication with NYCHA residents created a gap that community groups filled.
NYCHA apartments, buildings and grounds are desperately in need of repairs. Sandy exacerbated existing repair needs in NYCHA buildings.
- 55% of survey respondents had repair needs in their apartment before Sandy;
- 40% had new repair needs as a result of Sandy;
- 62% were told they would have to wait 6 months or more to receive repairs.
Mold, a serious problem for NYCHA residents prior to Sandy, has gotten worse since the storm and is impacting the health of residents.
- 34% had visible mold in their apartment prior to Sandy;
- 45% have visible mold in their apartment after Sandy;
- Of those that have reported the problem, 34% said NYCHA cleaned up the mold poorly and another 38% said NYCHA has done nothing;
- 56% of those with mold reported that the mold has affected their health.
Although Sandy recovery activities provided opportunities for employment and training for public housing residents, NYCHA did not take full advantage of connecting residents with these opportunities.
- 64% of those surveyed are not currently working;
- 84% have NOT been informed of job opportunities with NYCHA.
While this report reveals some of NYCHA's major challenges in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, these findings and the related recommendations come at an opportune moment for public housing residents in New York City. We are encouraged by the City's new leadership, including Mayor Bill de Blasio, NYCHA Chair Shola Olatoye, City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and the new Chairs of two pertinent City Council Committees – Ritchie Torres, Chair of the Public Housing Committee and Mark Treyger, Chair of the Committee on Recovery and Resilience. We are hopeful that these new leaders will learn from the past administration's mistakes and tackle these challenges head on. The additional resources coming into the City for rebuilding and resiliency post-Sandy and the revamping of NYCHA's Emergency Procedure allow our new leaders to set a higher standard and pilot initiatives that could have ripple effects across the broader NYCHA system. The following recommendations were developed by those on the ground who witness NYCHA's problems on a daily basis. We offer practical and effective solutions that will make NYCHA a better place to live for its 600,000 residents.
Greater Communication and Coordination with Residents and Community-Based Organizations (CBOs)
- NYCHA and the Office of Emergency Management must improve communication with NYCHA residents before, during and after a natural disaster and pay special attention to ensuring that seniors, people with disabilities and people with limited English proficiency get the information that they need.
- NYCHA and OEM must improve coordination and communication with each other and with Community Based Organizations in Sandy-Affected Areas.
- NYCHA, the Mayor and the City Council should invest in creating vibrant community centers within NYCHA developments so that these can serve as community resources during natural disasters and beyond.
Tackling the Long-Term Mold Crisis and Addressing the Health and Safety of Residents
- NYCHA must go beyond temporary, surface-level fixes for mold and address deeper infrastructure and chronic, uncontrolled moisture issues such as leaky roofs and old pipes.
- NYCHA should create a program modeled on Back Home, Back to Work (BHBW), piloted in Sandy's aftermath, to provide job training to public housing residents in how to conduct safe and healthy mold remediation.
Increasing Transparency and Accountability Measures to Improve and Expedite Repair Process
- Each month, NYCHA should make public the list of outstanding repairs categorized by building or development and update it monthly.
- The City should create a Watch List for NYCHA properties, similar to the "NYC Worst Landlord List" (for private housing) and later the "NYCHA Watch List" set up by Mayor de Blasio while he was the Public Advocate. This will allow the public to know where the highest need exists and create public will to address the issues in these developments accordingly.
Creating a Resilient Infrastructure for NYCHA
- NYCHA should create more resilient infrastructure by installing Cogeneration (CHP) capacity in Zone 1 developments.
- NYCHA should replace temporary boilers and move all boilers and critical wiring systems of Zone 1 developments on to higher ground.
Increasing High-Quality Job Opportunities and Increasing Economic Resiliency for NYCHA Residents and Workers
- NYCHA should ensure that more jobs to go to residents, particularly jobs created with CDBG-DR funds coming to NYCHA for Sandy recovery.
- NYCHA should establish robust pre-apprenticeship programs and connect residents to them so that they can be trained and prepared for the apprenticeship slots and subsequent jobs that open up.
- NYCHA should ensure that more work is going to high quality union contractors through adopting job standard language for all Requests for Proposals and Requests for Qualifications.

Second- and
third-year law students have the opportunity to participate in the Frank J.
Remington Center's Federal Appeals Project (FAP), an expansion of the Oxford Federal Project. The Federal Appeals Project combines class work on federal appellate procedure, client-centered
representation, issue spotting, and persuasive writing, with work on an actual
criminal appeal assigned by Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
Students in FAP will work in pairs on a criminal
appeal under the supervision of Clinical Associate Professor Adam Stevenson.
Appeals will be timed so that the transcripts begin arriving in the fall.
Assuming that a case has merit, briefing in the Seventh Circuit will take place
during the late fall and spring semesters. Please note that each student must make a 2-semester
commitment, to ensure that he or she can take a case from start to finish.
In the fall, students will take a 2-credit class
entitled "Special Problems in Criminal Justice Administration: Federal
Criminal Appeals," along with additional credits of clinical work. This
class qualifies for the 60-credit rule. The class features weekly large group and
small group discussion sections. In large group sessions, students will learn
about federal appellate procedure, the ethics of appellate representation,
issue spotting, and persuasion. At the same time, in the small groups and
clinical components, students will be communicating with their appeal clients,
reading transcripts, and researching and investigating their client's cases.
During spring semester, students again take the seminar components, along with a
clinical course for 1-3 credits. Credits are variable depending on how much
work each student's appeal requires. There may be large group sessions during
the spring, but most of the work will be on the appellate cases.
The Federal Appeals Project uses a competitive
application process. To apply, please
see the attached information form. FAP typically starts accepting applications in March of the year before the
clinic begins, with applications due in early April to allow time for enrollment and
If you are interested in the Federal Appeals
Project opportunities in the Oxford Federal Project, please contact Clinical Associate Professor Adam Stevenson in Room 4315E.
You can reach Professor Stevenson by phone at 262-9233; or email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Red Arrow
The Red Arrow | |
Location | Gondor, Rohan |
Appearance | Black flights, steel barbs; red mark painted on the arrow's tip |
The Red Arrow was a way Gondor summoned its allies in time of need.
Contents |
[edit] Description
Its flights were black and its barbs were made of steel, and it took its name from a mark of red painted on the arrow's tip,[1] standing for blood to show the situation was serious. The black flights were like the Orc arrows.
[edit] History
First mention of the Red Arrow is when Borondir of Gondor and five other messengers rode north along Anduin to seek out Gondor's old allies, the Éothéod, when Gondor was being overrun by Easterlings, in T.A. 2509. Borondir was the only survivor, and presented the Red Arrow to the Éothéod King Eorl the Young.
On 9 March T.A. 3019[2] it became a summons for the Rohirrim. The Red Arrow was presented to Rohan by Hirgon in the War of the Ring, and Théoden King rode out with the Muster of Rohan to the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.[1]
It is not certain where the Red Arrow came from: it is possible that the tradition was an old one and that Gondor had always summoned its allies this way, but another possibility is that Borondir actually took an Orc arrow with a bloody tip to present to the Éothéod, to prove that the situation was as bad as his message stated.
[edit] Inspiration
It has been noted that J.R.R. Tolkien's concept of the use of a red arrow by Gondor to summon the Rohirrim to war is very reminiscent of a similar use in The House of the Wolfings, a novel by William Morris, which Tolkien owned and from which he took inspiration.[3]

Ducks lose Robidas to broken leg in Game 3
April 21st, 2014, 7:53 pm by BY ERIC STEPHENSDALLAS -- Ducks defenseman Stephane Robidas suffered a broken right leg early in the second period of Game 3 against the Dallas Stars and figures to be lost for the remainder of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
It is the same leg that the veteran fractured Nov. 29 while playing for Dallas in a game against Chicago. Robidas was plowed into by the Stars' Ryan Garbutt and appeared to get his right leg caught underneath the winger.
Robidas, who was acquired by the Ducks from Dallas on March 4, slammed his glove to the ice when he was unable to put any power on his leg. He needed assistance off the ice and was taken to a downtown-area hospital.
According to a Ducks spokesman, Robidas suffered a fracture above the previous break that he recovered from in less than four months. There is no immediate timetable on this injury but it appears certain that Robidas will not make it back to action no matter how long the Ducks play.
Robidas made his Anaheim debut on March 18 against Washington after the Ducks got him for a fourth-round pick that they had acquired from the Capitals when they dealt winger Dustin Penner.

February is cozy with groundhogs and hearts, March is revelry with Mardi Gras and St. Patrick, April delights with tulips and bunnies, May is mindful of moms and memorials, June ushers in summer with a hat-tip to dads, July explodes with patriotism, August is sultry and nostalgic, September revolves around my birthday, October brings mischief with candy and costumes, November reminds us to be thankful, and December enchants with lights to match the twinkle in everyone's eyes. Then there's January...the hectic Monday at the office after a long weekend, the comedown after a phenomenal bender.
I'm sure plenty of people think January is wonderful with its promise of newness — a tabula rasa on which to scribble all of our hopes and dreams. I think that's a lot of pressure for a tired month in the middle of winter.
In December, magazines churn out their version of the "year in review," and everyone takes inventory of the year's accomplishments as if compiling data for the curriculum vitae they plan to produce at the pearly gates. As the holiday fever fades and party chatter turns to talk of resolutions, I can't help but feel negligent for not having any deep thoughts about the year before or any declarations regarding how I plan to improve my life in the year to come. I tend to do any "year before/year ahead" thinking on my birthday.
I know from reading the bestseller lists that people respect those who have personal goals. This is why, each year, I strive to invent a resolution that sounds impressive and original. I choose to fabricate my New Year's pledge because my personal goals are, well, personal, and because I rarely have one ready by the stroke of midnight.
Maybe my disinterest in New Year's resolutions stems from my being an avid blogger, tweeter, and columnist, which requires constant reflection. I don't put off to the last minute of the year things I want to change or ways in which I wish to improve. When I quit smoking (around the time I met David), I did so early in December, for no reason other than that was when it occurred to me that my lungs would probably appreciate some less toxic air and because I couldn't think of any good reason to wait until the end of the month.
Last week, with the new year on the horizon, I Googled the top ten resolutions to help me prepare my answer for the question of the day. The first thing that struck me was how generic they all seemed, each one a slightly different way of saying, "I'm going to be a better person." I wanted something more descriptive, more specific, more...awe-inspiring. Maybe, I thought, I could take a few of the most popular resolutions and reshape them into something individual.
The trendiest resolution was to get in shape. I guess it makes sense to want to focus on health after a three-month eating-and-drinking binge (beginning with candy on Halloween). Only a monastic few escape the holiday bulge. I overdo it so much that, come January, I'm craving broccoli. If you told me three months ago that I would have a stash of chocolate that was of no interest to me, I'd have laughed in your face. And yet there it is, sitting in my kitchen drawer, unwanted. I actually gave away most of my cookie stash, as I couldn't stomach the idea of any more sugar or butter.
We justify our excesses by promising ourselves that we will be the epitome of restraint on January 1. It is because of the sudden, synchronized emphasis on health that I dread going to my gym in January, when a surge of gym rats invade. During this month of self-reinvention, exercisers who are unfamiliar with gym etiquette hoard my favorite machines, turning a routine act of going to work out into an unpleasant ordeal akin to catching a movie on opening weekend or dining out on Valentine's Day.
Even more irritating than negotiating my way through the mass of bumbling newbies is being mistaken for one of them. It never fails that someone perky with inspiration will assume I had the same bright idea — at the same time — to get my ass in shape. I learn of this assumption when said newbie goes out of her way (it's always a woman) to offer me encouragement, usually by way of "Good for you!" In response, I smile and thank her, stifling the retort in my head: "Yo, presumptuous bitch, I've been coming here at least three times a week for over two years."
I wrote off "work out more" as too common and continued scanning the list. Another favorite was "spend more time with family and friends." That was good. What better P.R. than to pronounce to loved ones that your resolution declares them as your priority? I decided to keep that one in my back pocket as my failsafe.
I was surprised to see "enjoy life more" right up there with losing weight and quitting smoking. My heart went out to those who felt the need to make a pact with themselves in order to find pleasure in living. I made a mental note to be more conscious of my appreciation for how good I have it, then wrote it beside my failsafe as a possible contender for my official resolution. I read right past "quit drinking," as no writer/wino could recite that one with a straight face.
Ooh, now "get organized" was a good idea. That's one I tell myself I'm going to do every day of the year but actually get around to on only a few. "Get out of debt" was another good one, but not very realistic in this economy. I didn't want to depress people; I wanted to amaze them. My eyes lingered on "help others," while I contemplated what that might entail. Maybe I'll keep that one to myself, I thought, and not make any grand commitments.
Mine? To stop trying to impress people as to how nice I am and just be nice and to live for myself. In an nut shell? To stop being ingratiating.
To be less of an a**hole. I'll still be my caustic and cynical self though.

Home to Salzburg
Trip Start
Jul 14, 2013
Trip End
Aug 15, 2013
The train ride home (for me at least) was almost unbearable just because I was exhausted. And there was, again, no air conditioning for five hours of it. We did meet a very nice Czeck guy named Jan. He complimented my German when I practiced with him-- he said that I didn't have an American accent but a Slavic one. I'm not sure if that's exactly a compliment but I will take it and run.
When we finally rolled into Germany, the funniest thing was that we were so excited to leave a country where we couldn't speak the language to... a country where we couldn't speak the language. At least we can sort of hack through our conversations in German.
At home, we went to eat at this Chinese buffet. After spending three weeks in China, I and my stomach were not feeling the Austrian food that was masquerading as Chinese, but it was all right.
Now, time to study for my German quiz tomorrow and actually get a night of sleep. We, the Sassy Seven, totally won travel weekend.

OMFG. 60k for her? and what does she speak about? "that ugly people can still feel good about themselves if they are whores" :O It's a mad,mad and sad world :(
Yes some reviews weren't that light on the movie. :P I just finished watching Neon Genesis Evangelion and a movie "taxidermia". If you're into random, explicit and surrealistic shit, then watch Taxidermia :P have you watched NGE bthw?
yes, it's a fail :P darksarcasm is only my name here and on msn :P bthw can you guess from where does dark sarcasm come from?:P
It's that lurking , dark presence that gives meaning to life sometimes, don't you think?
P.S. your real name is Zack. Yay. My real name is Driton. I know you will mispronounce it ^^
Zarathustra is indeed hard. I was thinking to abandon it and read it at last, that's why I started Steppenwolf. I hadn't heard about that movie and I checked it out on imdB. rating 6/10 which is ok. I will make sure to watch it some day.
Of course I listen to Bjork. Do you by any chance have a last.fm account? I hadn't heard of Dredg but will check them out for sure. Theymust be great, hence Dali inspired :) One of my great friends is into philosophical rappers, me, not that much. I've heard some(which I've forgotten though) and they never stick to me :P
You have some ambitions there which I shared a year ago. Now, maybe because I spent a year of disappointment and pointlessness in my life, I have forsaken anything valuable to me. But you have one great purpose(goal) in life. I hope you succeed in it. Societies are always a mess. Whether it's extreme right-wing radicalism at one side and worshiping of materialistic, hedonistic liberal stuff at the other side, the human is doomed. But one great quote that has been giving me consolation this year has been "Epur si mueve" or "again it moves", which as a philosophy student I'm sure you are familiar with. The universe doesn't really care at all, does it? -.-'
Though I just finished Neon genesis Evangelion and almost finished "steppenwolf" which , coincidentally, are about loving one self in the meaningless life, and I'm starting to again see some life worth living(I should tell you that the place I live in really sucksssss). My suicidal tendencies have vanished recently but they might return back some day.
I just saw that your university is from New Jersey. Guido fist pump FTW :P "Snooki wants to smoosh mush" ( if you watch South park :P )
umm.. It's fun. The moments of utter anger and rebellion I feel towards society give meaning to my life. ^^ yay... I knew it that we were the same. :P though I haven't read any Ludwig. I still haven't finished any Nietzsche book, but I'm currently reading "thus Spake Zarathustra" ( I'm reading it on ebook because I couldn't find hard copy and that's why it's taking me longer). Then I have to read "beyong good and evil; human, all too human" and "the Antichrist"(these two I have in paperback). But I'm familiar with Nietzsche's philosophy because I've read stuff on him and watched documentaries about him, and he too is my fav philosopher.
Soap&Skin is "grogeously haunting"( you nailed the word). Any artists you can recommend me?
I will make sure to check Borges( after I finish this 20 books that I just bought last month). I bought 3 from Sartre, but Nausea wasn't available :( I bought "Age of Reason" though and some political stuff... they were a collection so yeah -.-'). Love the Idiot, because I , personally, am a Dostoevskyan Idiot, including the epilepsy. :P :) What do you think of Nietzsche?
Aoi Bungaku Series was the next one on my list cuz it's praised a lot. Now that you recommended it, I'm even more sure to check it out. I've also heard of Despera and I can't wait towards its completition.
Haibane Renmei looks so happy :P I will make sure to check them out all once I finish Neon Genesis Evangelion ^^ and will report to you :P oh and don't worry, I'm a fan boy of Serial Experiments Lain as well :))))))
King of limbs was good, but when you are used to Radiohead producing excellence, then good becomes bad -.-' Veronica decides to die is a great book and is one of my fav because it was one of the first books I ever read ( as a mature individual). I still have yet to read Borges. Kafka looks to me very inspired by Dostoevsky, especially in the book "The Castle". in the castle at some moments I felt like I was reading Dostoevsky -.-' What's your fav Dostoevsky book bthw? Mine would be "notes from the underground" ^^ . I'm reading "steppenwolf"- herman hesse right now. Excellent book. Have you read it?
Oh you can freely recommend me any philosophical anime because I'm sure you have encountered more than me ( your list of "watched" anime was too long so I was too lazy to read it :P )

Ajit Agarkar, born on December 4, 1977, is a player whose career traversed unusual heights and depths. Abhishek Mukherjee looks back at an enigma who had a career involving a medley of being selected and axed spanning over a decade.
Sharjah, 1998. When a mysteriously promoted Nikhil Chopra fell, India had to score 31 from 22 balls. They had three wickets in hand as Ajit Agarkar walked out to bat. This being the pre-T20 era, the match was as good as lost, but an Agarkar scored 26 in 12 balls to help India beat Sri Lanka with five balls to spare.
He had been expensive earlier in the day, leaking boundaries and picking up two late wickets. But by the end of the day, he was a hero. That is the quintessential Agarkar for you. He had achieved feats that spanned both extremes. He rose to heights — especially in ODIs — hitherto unknown to the world. He rushed to 50 ODI wickets in 23 ODIs, setting a new world record that was his own till Ajantha Mendis came along. At that stage he was possibly expected to fill the big shoes of Kapil Dev.
Whippy, short and with a pace that seldom matched his fiery aggression, Agarkar impressed most critics in his first year despite being expensive, mostly due to his uncanny ability to pick up ODI wickets. Despite his rather smallish frame Agarkar could generate unexpected pace off a short run-up and had also learnt the art of reverse swinging the ball well.
Then, a year later, Agarkar toured Australia. He scored 19 in the first Test at Adelaide, but then began his famous string of ducks — starting with a first-ball duck in the second innings. He followed this with a king's pair in Melbourne and then another golden duck in the first innings at SCG — out 5 times in 5 balls. He somehow survived the first ball in the second innings, but he fell the very next ball. The run did not to end there. When Australia toured India a year later, Agarkar fell for a pair at Mumbai, thereby making it 7 ducks in a row against the Australians!
Test hundred at Lord's
Sandwiched between the two came his first real feat with the bat: he smashed the hapless Zimbabweans all over; he added 85 with Reetinder Sodhi in 39 balls, out of which he scored a 25-ball 67, pounding seven fours and four sixes. In the process he registered the fastest ODI fifty by an Indian – off a mere 21 balls, and completely wrecked the Zimbabwean attack, being especially harsh on Alistair Campbell, who was asked to bowl the final over. He finished the day with 3 for 26.
He had still not "arrived", everyone said. A solitary performance against Zimbabwe proves nothing – ran the verdict. The next year – at the Mecca of cricket – India were up against the daunting task of chasing 568 for a victory. Walking out at 170 for 6, Agarkar helped VVS Laxman add 126; with 9 wickets down for 334, Agarkar hit out as Ashish Nehra held fort, adding 63 for the last wicket; he scored a Test hundred at Lord's in the process. Of his illustrious colleagues, only Sourav Ganguly (and years later, Rahul Dravid) have managed the feat. Just to prove the erratic nature of his career, the unbeaten 109 remains Agarkar's only Test score above fifty. He followed the innings with an ODI 95 batting at No 3 against the West Indies later that year.
The revenge against the Australians came in 2003-04 at Adelaide. He had an ordinary first innings with the ball, despite taking two crucial wickets in Australia's first innings of 556. Then, after Dravid and Laxman lifted India to 523, Agarkar ran in with the new ball.
Justin Langer, Agarkar's "bunny" (he fell to Agarkar five times in the series), was trapped leg-before; Ricky Ponting cut him hard to Aakash Chopra at point for a duck. Then, with the Australian score on 184 for 6, Agarkar scythed through the rest of the line-up to bowl them out for 196; it was only fitting that he was at the crease when Dravid hit the winning stroke to pull off an Indian victory on Australian soil after over two decades. The 6 for 41 remains his only five-for in Test cricket. He followed it up with 6 for 42 against the Australians at Melbourne in an ODI on the same tour.
The following year Agarkar became the fastest to reach the milestone of 1,000 runs and 200 wickets in ODIs — a feat he reached in only 131 matches. And then, he faded away from the forefront, mostly due to lack of consistency and expensive bowling. With more and more new seamers appearing on the horizon to assist Zaheer Khan, Agarkar slowly faded into oblivion.
His ODI career of 288 wickets — a tally next to only Anil Kumble's and Javagal Srinath's among Indians — from 191 matches is quite impressive, and his bowling average of 27.85 is bettered by only Kapil Dev among Indians with 50 ODI wickets. However, an economy rate of over 5 and erratic performances meant that Agarkar could not retain his place in the Indian squad.
Update: Mohammed Shami currently has a better average as well.
He continues to perform well in the domestic circuit, though. In the epic Ranji Trophy Final of 2010, he took 5 for 81 to bowl out Karnataka and clinch the match by the narrow margin of 6 runs. After being axed from the Mumbai side, he came back with a vengeance to lead his home side in both versions of the game. And amidst all this, he has not ruled out a comeback to the national side either.
