Next up: Sequester, budget
Now that the debt ceiling fight has been delayed until May, the next big fiscal drama deadline is March 1, when the spending cuts of the sequester take effect.
Or not.
Story Continued Below
There's a growing number of senior Republicans, such as Senate Minority Whip John Cornyn, who are prepared to allow the billions of dollars of automatic spending cuts to military and other domestic agencies take effect without intervention.
Privately, some top Republicans in the House believe the threat of an economy-shaking debt default is off the table — at least for now — as a political weapon for Republicans to extract spending and entitlement cuts from President Barack Obama. That is certain to anger tea party conservatives who want to renew their demands for dollar-for-dollar spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt ceiling again.
If that line of thinking holds, the GOP will focus squarely on two major deadlines to push their demands: funding the government past March 27 and adopting a new budget blueprint by April 15.
"This doesn't go away," Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) said of the GOP's decision to accept a three-month debt ceiling hike after demanding dollar-for-dollar cuts. "This is a temporary thing."
But the battle lines aren't that simple; both parties have internal struggles ahead to determine their priorities and when and how to fight.
Senate Democrats, for instance, now boxed into advancing a budget resolution for the first time in four years if they want to receive paychecks after April 15, need to decide what they want to do on tax reform and entitlements.
A split is emerging between powerful Democrats, such as New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and Montana Sen. Max Baucus, over whether to employ controversial fast-track procedures to pave the way for a sweeping overhaul of the Tax Code that would presumably raise revenue to help slash future deficits. How the dispute is resolved will have dramatic implications for the contents of a final fiscal package.
The dueling House and Senate budget resolutions could force the two parties into a serious policy debate over cuts to Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid — as well as whether to raise new taxes through a reform of the Tax Code — something that was largely avoided in the previous Congress.
How this is resolved will define Obama's second term in office and whether Capitol Hill can finally get a handle on its finances — or fall into yet another crisis.
Many are skeptical much will happen.

The National Cancer Institute's Translational Research Working Group (TRWG) developed a set of tools that it believes will improve that process. The tools, known as "Pathways to Clinical Goals" are published in the September 15 issue of Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.
"The NCI supports a great deal of excellent translational research, but inefficiencies arising from a lack of communication and coordinated effort prevent many promising leads from reaching clinical trials and eventual approval," said Lynn Matrisian, Ph.D, a special assistant in the Office of the Director, NCI. Matrisian co-chaired the TRWG, which was formed in 2005 with the goal of accelerating the pace of translational cancer research. Publication of the Pathways is expected to be a major step forward in this process.
There are six Pathways that address the following categories: anti-cancer agents (drugs or biologics), biospecimen-based assessment methods, immune response modifiers, image-based assessment modalities, intervention devices, and lifestyle alterations.
Each pathway is a flowchart with a series of steps intended to clarify and streamline the translational research process. For example, in the anti-cancer agent pathway, researchers are encouraged at the outset to address the following three questions:
* Is the empirical basis for attributing clinical potential (alone and/or in combination) convincing?
* Does the envisioned clinical need justify expenditure of resources?
* Is it feasible to identify/develop an agent against this target?
If the answer to any of these questions is "no," then research leaders are encouraged to direct their research toward more effective plans.
Matrisian and her colleagues hope that the TRWG pathways will be widely used and that they will make the early translational research process more efficient.
"The NCI funds many important research projects, and we hope these pathways will help in placing each research opportunity in the broader context of tangible cancer detection, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment strategies. We believe the NCI 's experience will be an important resource for other groups advancing translational research as well," said Matrisian.

2012 - Mikrogirder
Simpler, faster and more efficient than science dreamed possible, impervious to gravity and dramatically reducing isochronous error, potentially easier to manufacture and able to precisely measure time to a phenomenal 5/10,000th of a second today, and probably even more precisely tomorrow… The MIKROGIRDER is the fastest mechanical regulator ever crafted and tested. Overturning three centuries of watchmaking convention in the way mechanical energy is generated, stored and regulated, the MIKROGIRDER opens a promising new era in watchmaking, with potentially powerful and energy-sparing new movements precise to ever-smaller fractions of time. Accurate to an unprecedented 5/10,000 of a second, the MIKROGIRDER is a completely new regulator system - a coupling beam/girder and excitatory beam/girder system working with a linear oscillator (versus a spiral shape in a classical hairspring) that vibrates isochronously at a very small angle, as opposed to a traditional watch, which vibrates at an angle of up to 320 degrees. The advantages are numerous. In a classic spiral hairspring system, the effect of gravity due to mass is a dominant issue. With the MIKROGIRDER, the problem no longer even exists. There is no loss of amplitude and the movement's frequency can be modulated on a very large spectrum of frequency without overburdening the power supply. The result is a significant increase in precision (division of time) and performance (frequency accuracy and stability). The MIKROGIRDER energy performance will enable TAG Heuer chronographs to attain ultra-high frequencies never before dreamed possible. Ten patents are pending on this breakthrough.

UPDATE: 11:45AM – Kumi has been arrested and is being taken to Greenland in a helicopter.
As he climbed the 30 metre ladder rig operators tried to stop him making it to the platform by dousing him with a freezing jet of water fired from a powerful water cannon.
But, despite being soaked to the skin and freezing cold, Kumi made it to the top to deliver the 50,000 strong petition and demand that Cairn immediately halt drilling operations and leave the Arctic.
In a final radio transmission to the Esperanza he said:
"It looks like I'm being arrested now. They say I'm going to be taken to Greenland, but what happens after that I don't know. I did this because Arctic oil drilling is one of the defining environmental battles of our age. I'm an African but I care deeply about what's happening up here. The rapidly melting cap of Arctic sea ice is a grave warning to all of us, so it's nothing short of madness that companies like Cairn see it as a chance to drill for the fossil fuels that got us into this climate change mess in the first place. We have to draw a line and say no more. I'm drawing that line here and now in the Arctic ice."
06:30 am - Kumi Naidoo, the Executive Director of Greenpeace International has crossed into an exclusion zone and scaled a controversial Arctic oil rig 120km off the coast of Greenland.
At 6:45 am this morning an inflatable speedboat carrying Kumi was launched from the Greenpeace ship Esperanza. It evaded a Danish navy warship that has been circling the rig for several weeks and delivered Kumi to the base of the rig where he climbed 30 metres up the outside of one of the platform's giant legs.
Before leaving the Esperanza he told us why he was doing it:After a freezing dash out from the coast of Greenland in a small boat to meet the Esperanza, I'm now preparing to leave again at first light to board the Cairn oil rig Leiv Eiriksson.With one companion I'll follow in the footsteps of the twenty Greenpeace activists who've gone before me in the past two weeks. Together they prevented Cairn's reckless deep sea oil drilling here in the Arctic for a total of five days.Most of them spent almost two weeks in jail and have been deported for their trouble. Cairn's response was an attempt to silence peaceful protest with a massive lawsuit against Greenpeace International. In it they demanded we pay 2 million euro for each day our action prevented their oil drilling operation. But, despite a small army of expensive lawyers, it didn't go Cairn's way in court. The judge awarded them far less than they asked for and even questioned why Cairn didn't publish its oil spill response plan as we asked.What's a spill response plan? It's the document that an oil company has to draw up explaining how it would clean up a spill. They are nearly always made public, but Cairn is keeping its one secret. Why? Because you can't clean up an Arctic oil spill, that's what the experts say, and publishing the plan would show that Cairn hasn't got a viable plan.We have made repeated requests for Cairn's oil spill plan, including phone calls, faxes, emails, a visit to the company's UK headquarters and finally our delegation of 18 boarding the rig. Cairn claims the Greenland authorities won't allow it to publish the spill plan, but Greenpeace has legal advice making it clear that Cairn could easily publish the plan if it wanted to. It's standard industry practice.Cairn is keeping the plan secret because it knows it is not worth the paper it is written on. Cairn is hiding it from the people of Greenland whose real economy depends on fisheries and a clean environment. It is hiding it from Greenpeace because it knows it cannot clean up a spill. It is hiding it from its investors who, if they knew the full extent of the risks, would think twice about investing. In the final hearing the court did stipulate that Greenpeace is liable for 50,000 euro for each further day we interfere with Cairn's drilling. It's far less than Cairn asked for, but still a significant sum.I have with me the names of 50,000 people who emailed Cairn to demand they publish their spill response plan. I am about to go aboard the rig to deliver those 50,000 names with a personal call that Cairn leaves the Arctic. For me this is one of the defining environmental battles of our age, it's a fight for sanity against the madness of those who see the disappearance of the Arctic sea ice as an opportunity to profit. As the ice retreats the oil companies want to send the rigs in and drill for the fossil fuels that got us into this mess in the first place. Fossil fuel driven climate change is already making life hard for millions. I have seen this first hand where I come from in Africa and it will only get worse unless we can phase out our addiction to oil.We have to draw a line somewhere and I say we draw that line here today.The Arctic oil rush is such a serious threat to the climate, to this beautiful fragile place and to our hopes for a better future that I felt we had no choice. So I volunteered to come to the rig and make a personal appeal backed by Greenpeace supporters everywhere to call for an end to this dangerous arctic oil drilling. Cairn has something to hide, they won't dare publish their plan to clean up an oil spill here in the Arctic, and that's because it can't be done. I'm going onto that rig to give them the names of fifty thousand people who've emailed them to demand they publish their plan, and I won't leave until I have it in my hands.
Passionately involved in liberation struggles from a young age, he continues to speak truth to power across the range of Greenpeace campaign activities around the globe. He is dedicated to engagement, dialogue and change and seeks a green and peaceful planet for all the world's inhabitants.

Central Queensland band The Short Fall are making their move on the music industry.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Brothers Angelo and Ryan Conway recently released a music video for their song 'The Meadow' from their EP Make a Move.
It's catapulted it into the top 100 songs on Triple J Unearthed and had music lovers around the country dancing around their lounge rooms over the weekend during their appearance on Rage.
They say they've received huge local support.
"It feels like the wheels are in motion, wherever it takes us it will be good but it feels like things are in the works," says Ryan.
"We've just got to take every opportunity that we get and that's what we've been doing," says Angelo.
The Short Fall will be supporting The Whitlams at the upcoming 'Flicks in the Sticks' event.
"It's something that we're really stoked about because The Whitlams are obviously a major Australian act going back years and we grew up listening to them so it's really great," says Angelo.
And if that wasn't keeping them busy enough, the duo have announced they'll be heading on tour.
"We're doing our first run of south-east Queensland shows," says Angelo.
"It was kind of the next step, it was inevitable and we're really excited to finally plan those shows and finally get down there and play some shows in the Brisbane area."
As their career gain momentum, the boys say they're not letting it change their lifestyle too much.
"In the last few years we've been playing a lot of covers gigs so we've just dropped back on that a little bit and we both have very flexible lifestyles," says Angelo.
"I'm working for myself and have uni so it kind of makes things easier to drop everything if you need or plan a tour or do things like that so the lifestyle we choose probably helps that."
So what next?
"Do another music video," says Ryan, jokingly.
"We just found that process really fun and probably writing more songs," says Angelo.
And they're also hoping there'll be plenty more tours and gigs to come.
Take a listen to the acoustic version of 'Maybe we're losing' off their EP Make a Move.
They'll be performing in:
- Yeppoon at the Town Hall, May 25
- Brisbane at Dowse Bar, May 30
- Gold Coast at Govs Espresso, May 31

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's state media has raised to 35 the death toll from unrest this week in far western Xinjiang region, and denounced the clashes, the deadliest in four years, as a "terrorist attack".
Xinjiang is home to a large Muslim Uighur community and violence focusing on its discontent had been confined recently to southern districts. The altercations in Shanshan county on Wednesday marked a return of unrest to Xinjiang's north.
Many Uighurs, Muslims who speak a Turkic language, chafe at what they call Chinese government restrictions on their culture, language and religion. China says it grants Uighurs wide-ranging freedoms and accuses extremists of separatism.
On Wednesday, gangs with knives attacked a police station and a government building and set fire to police cars. Twenty-four people died in clashes with police, including 16 Uighurs, state news agency Xinhua said.
According to Xinhua's latest dispatch on Thursday night, eight more died in the police response. It called the incident a "violent terrorist attack" and said the overall situation was now "on the whole, stable".
An officer at Shanshan county's public security, or police, bureau told Reuters by telephone that the cause of the riots and the ethnic origin of the attackers remained unclear.
Xinjiang government officials could not be reached.
A resident of Shanshan, speaking by telephone, said police officers were patrolling town streets, though he was unable to say if their presence was heavier than usual.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying condemned the incident, though she stopped short of saying who was behind it.
"This is a violent terrorist surprise attack. There is no doubt about that," she said at a daily ministry briefing. "But with regard to who they are, or whether foreign forces were involved ... local public security is vigorously investigating."
A clash two months ago in Xinjiang's south, involving axes, knives and at least one gun, culminated in a house being burned down, with 21 people dead. The local government also described that incident as a "terrorist attack".
Uighurs make up 88 percent of residents in Shanshan county, according to the Global Times, a tabloid owned by the Communist Party's mouthpiece, the People's Daily.
Dilxat Raxit, the Sweden-based spokesman for the exiled World Uyghur Congress, blamed the "continued suppression and provocation" in Xinjiang for the conflict.
Duncan Innes-Ker of the Economist Intelligence Unit said the latest deaths highlighted the failure of Chinese authorities to resolve the region's ethnic and religious tensions.
"The government needs to come up with a new approach to dealing with ethnic and religious strains in China's minority regions, as its past efforts to address them with tight security and economic development have been a manifest failure," Innes-Ker said in a statement.
The Global Times renewed accusations by the authorities that "overseas terrorist forces" were to blame.
"Many foreign forces would like to see turbulence in Xinjiang, but those with a little analytical sense know this can hardly be reality," it said in an editorial.
Wednesday's unrest was the deadliest in Xinjiang since July 2009, when nearly 200 people were killed in riots pitting Uighurs against ethnic Chinese in the region's capital Urumqi, about 200 km (125 miles) northwest of Shanshan.

A look at key moments this past week in the wrongful death trial in Los Angeles between Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, and concert giant AEG Live LLC, and what is expected at court in the week ahead:
Jackson's mother wants a jury to determine that the promoter of Jackson's planned comeback concerts didn't properly investigate Dr. Conrad Murray, who a criminal jury convicted of involuntary manslaughter for Jackson's June 2009 death. AEG's attorney says the case is about personal choice, namely Jackson's decision to have Murray serve as his doctor and give him doses of a powerful anesthetic as a sleep aid. Millions, possibly billions, of dollars are at stake.
—Jurors heard from AEG General Counsel Shawn Trell, who discussed in detail the company's contracts with Jackson and Murray, as well as its dealings with the pop singer's estate.
—The jury was shown an email in which Trell's boss described Jackson as "the freak" on the same day the singer signed a multi-million dollar agreement to perform the "This Is It" shows. Katherine Jackson's attorney said it demonstrated AEG's disdain for Jackson, while defense lawyers said it was shown to merely embarrass the company.
— Katherine Jackson left the courtroom in tears after her attorney questioned Trell about whether AEG pushed Jackson too far.
— The anatomy of a mega-concert tour as attorneys flashed budgets and Trell explained the mechanics of contracts, tour cancellation insurance and wrangling over how to handle Jackson's health and missed rehearsals.
—"This is the kind of respect that your lawyer shows to this artist, referring to him as a freak," plaintiff's attorney Brian Panish, visibly agitated, questioning Trell about emails the lawyer and his boss exchanged.
—"My chance meeting, my one meeting at the house, he was very personable. I won't forget it," Trell said of meeting Jackson in January 2009.
—Several Jackson fans lined a courthouse hallway wearing t-shirts emblazoned with a picture of Katherine Jackson and the words "We Support You" and (hash)TeamKatherineJackson" as the family matriarch returned to court from a lunch break.
— The trial's focus will stay on AEG Live, with one of its top executives, Paul Gongaware, taking the witness stand on Tuesday. Gongaware worked directly with Jackson and negotiated with Murray.
—Makeup artist Karen Faye, who tearfully described Jackson's health in earlier testimony, returns for cross-examination by AEG's attorneys.

Baseball Pitcher & Player of the Week ? No. 4
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Brian Ferrell of Bethel (Tenn.) has been named the NAIA National Baseball Player of the Week and Drew Greiwe of Central Methodist (Mo.) has been tabbed National Pitcher of the Week, the national office announced Tuesday. Ferrell and Grewie were selected based on their performances from April 1 – 7 and were chosen out of a pool of conference/independent/unaffiliated group winners.
Ferrell, a senior from Jackson, Tenn., hit .706 (12-of-17) with three doubles, two home runs, a triple and eight RBI as he led the Wildcats to a perfect 4-0 week, including a sweep of TranSouth Athletic Conference rival Martin Methodist (Tenn.) April 5 – 6. Ferrell, who recorded a 1.353 slugging percentage over the four games, was also 3-for-3 in steals and tallied 11 runs scored.
Ferrell opened the week with his second multi-extra base hit performance of the season, recording two doubles in a 3-for-4 effort against Brescia (Ky.) on April 1. In Bethel's series opener against Martin Methodist on April 5, he played a key role in the Wildcats' seven-run fourth inning with a two-strike, two-run single to give Bethel at the time a 4-1 lead. The next day, the senior outfielder recorded his second home run of the season in the bottom of first en route to a second of three-straight days with three runs scored. He capped the week by going 4-for-5 – a double shy of the cycle – with another RBI and three runs scored as Bethel edged Martin Methodist, 10-9, in extra innings.
Ferrell, who leads the team in batting average (.387 – minimum 70 at-bats), RBI (31) and stolen bases (16), is 25th in the NAIA in total bases per game (2.24).
Greiwe, a native of Macon, Mo., allowed zero runs on zero hits while not surrendering a walk to record Central Methodist's first-ever prefect game in the Eagles' 7-0 win over Graceland (Iowa) on April 6. The senior left-hander struck out nine over seven innings en route to his 12th career win, which ties him for ninth on the team's all-time wins list. Greiwe (5-0), who improved his earned run average to a team leading 2.31 (minimum 20 innings pitched), threw 82 total pitches in the contest, including 17 first-pitch strikes.
On the season, Greiwe ranks 13th in hits allowed per nine innings (5.54) and 19th in opponent batting average (0.183). He leads the Eagles with 39 innings pitched and is No. 2 with 39 strikeouts.

Drake Sings 'Let It Go' While Impersonating Manny Pacquiao [VIDEO]by Thomas Chau | PopCrush
Drake put his comedic talents to work last night (July 16) as the host of the ESPY Awards. In addition to appearing in a sketch together with Chris Brown, the 'Started From the Bottom' rapper also impersonated boxer Manny Pacquiao hilariously trying to sing 'Let It Go' from 'Frozen.'
Speaking with Pac's accent, Drake is seen in studio with Bernie Champion (Gary Cole), who encourages the boxer to pursue other avenues outside of boxing. Drake masters Pac's speech pattern and also jokingly refers to himself in the third person.
"Sometimes, people only want Manny Pacquiao fight all the time. I can't fight for the rest of my life. I have to do different things that make me happy. I like to sing," Drake says as Pac.
From there, we see Drake's Pacquiao try to tackle the difficult notes of 'Let It Go' while struggling with the English, all while studio producers are looking at each other with disapproving nods.
Given how well-reviewed Drake was received last night, we can only hope that we see more comedic endeavors from him in the future.
Click on the video above to check out the hilarious sketch.

Do I have Copyright?
I have all sorts of copy rights on every idea/thought/quote/expression on this blog. That's the first thing you learn before becoming the MBA variety. As they say "Own what you really own.. son!". Actually nobody said it. I just made it up. So if you are going to use this line, you have to pay me money. But seriously, plagiarism is bad, So is using stuff without crediting.
Whats in a Name?
Hawkeye is a character from a T.V Series called M.A.S.H. I am a huge fan of M.A.S.H. A black-comedy T.V series that ran from 1972 to 1983. I have seen each episode of M.A.S.H around 25 times. I think M.A.S.H has around 250 episodes. I started watching M.A.S.H in 1993 and have been watching it for more than a decade. The lead character in M.A.S.H was called Dr.Benjamin Franklin Pierce, he was nicknamed 'hawkeye' by his father because of a character called hawkeye in The Last of the Mohicans. I have not seen/read "Last of the Mohicans". So I do not know anything about the 'real' Hawkeye. I feel, I connect with the 'hawkeye' in M.A.S.H at many levels (not the smugness traits but other traits). Which is why the url and now my display name is 'Hawkeye'. Oh! What did you say? Wouldn't this name change cause a confusion among other bloggers? Yes! it would. But when I myself am constantly confused about my own identity why shouldn't you be?
Lightning Strikes Everyday?
It might be three nonsensical words uttered by a madcap blogger to you. But to me its the governing fact of my life. Something which no reader can understand and something which I have to live with. I created this blogger account in 20 minutes. For 19 minutes and 59 seconds, I spent time writing my profile and groping around other stuff needed to maintain a blog. It took me a second to fill the 'Title' section of my blog. For a person to say 'I am the unluckiest man in the world' is easy. For person who does not believe in luck to say so is complex and dark. For a person who is aware of the philosophy of self-fulfilling prophecies to say so is extremely convoluted, complicated, confusing and fool-hardy, which is exactly the kind of person I am. People say lightning never strikes a man twice in the same place. The probability of lightning striking the same place twice times the probability of the same man being there again is already minuscule. However, for that to happen to the same person several hundred times reduces the probability of such an event happening to one person over the number of people who have ever lived on earth. I am that one person. I epitomize Murphy's law. I should be researched, written about and my stories archived for the rest of mankind to awe at. On one hand a person who believes so strongly that he is jinxed can hardly be called an optimist but on the other hand to survive the kind of odds that I am bestowed with and still get up everyday morning thinking something good will happen to me, one needs to draw from enormous reserves of optimism. To sum up, any succession of ill-fated events that you would think can never happen or makes you go 'nah! maybe one or two might happen, not all. not all to one person' - you can assume that it has happened to me several times. But I still exist. Somehow.
Praise and References for this title
- At the beginning of the MBA program, I remarked to a person who later on went on to become on of my closest friends that I was jinxed beyond belief. He laughed in my face and said that I shouldn't be such a pessimist. I told him that it had nothing to do with 'isms' and that I was simply stating a fact of life. He just rolled his eyes and thought I was a weirdo. At the end of the two year program as we were driving madly to the airport to catch the flight in the last minute, he said to my brother 'do you know that Murphy's law was created for your brother'.
- A reader of my blog, who also knows me personally said only recently 'I never believed you when I read your blog. Now I can see where lightning strikes comes from. This (incident) has never happened before and its happening to you. It is so weird'
some other related posts on the same topic
1) I consider myself to be an essayist. If you don't understand what the word means - I write long blog posts. That's because I love writing them. I love writing long posts because I love reading long posts. Reading for entertainment is such good time pass. Think of this as a big time pass newspaper article that you would read over a cup of coffee.
5) The blog will center around open-space public domain issues/situations/concepts like applying for higher studies and vying for corporate jobs. This is a huge space in which a lot of strong opinions can be expressed.
6) All these opinions are mine. Obviously! This is my blog. Somebody else's opinion will be in somebody else's blog. For a reader who is 20 years or older, it should be obvious to him/her if some part of my blogs are/is not relevant to him/her. I don't feel the need to say in every blog insipid things like "All this is IMHO and take this advice with a pinch of salt/pepper/cucumber/tamarind etc". In fact even this disclaimer itself is a waste of space.
7) This blog talks about my experiences and things I learned in the process. This is also a prescriptive blog. Not all things suggested/mentioned in this blog has been experienced/done directly by me. Some ( a very few) are things I believe I should have done and didn't. I am writing these blogs because I believe it will work for other people. I hate putting disclaimers which say "It may not work for everybody", when I am specifically trying to write something for others. It is purely up to you to determine whether the suggestions offered here fits with your individual requirements. If you are a normal garden variety engineer from a regular Indian college, most probably things in this blog will fit you.
8) I also won't force myself to be politically correct and in the process push myself into a corner where I can't express any opinion at all. If I have to take a stand on something I won't wimp around saying "I dunno..my thighs feel weak" etc. I'll just take a stand on what I believe.
9) Again that does not mean I'll leak out company secrets and any confidential information I know. I am not a controversy monger. I respect corporate and institutional laws and won't break them.
10) In the public domain space that is outside/mutually-exclusive of these legal stuff, I like people who stick up to what they believe even if they fail at a later stage. I do not like people who don't say anything concrete because they don't want to be looked upon as people who are wrong/failures or worse so that they can avoid getting into a controversy (again this with things in the public domain). These people are boring and a waste of space. For example many Indian cricket commentators like Mohinder Amarnath will say "anything can happen. Cricket is a funny game". When India is chasing a target of 369 and is now 28/9 in 49.5 overs. Funnily enough, they are being politically correct. To me they are also stupid and I really hate such people. At the same time I won't "always" do a Kris Srikkanth and say "India has lost. The match is over", when we are 30/3 and Tendulkar, Dravid and Sehwag have gone back to the pavilion. Oh! I do think the match is lost, but I'll wait for a few more overs or one more wicket before saying that. But I have to say in this spectrum I am more 'Cheeka' than 'Jimmy'.
11) Oh! and for god's sake dont come running with one exception and claim that what I wrote isn't what happens. That your 3rd uncle's son managed a Wharton admit with a 430 GMAT is good, but it doesnt mean anything. Almost everything I say will have exceptions. Learn to distinguish exception Vs norm using the 80-20 rule. Don't complicate yourself saying 'you cant say that for sure its all situation dependent'. Yes! there are also many situation dependent scenarios. So wherever relevant, I'll try and say its situation-dependent.
12) What I am blogging about is something that has worked/works. This is intended to inspire 'other people'. It is meant for ordinary people like us. If you have a sense of humor and you think it talks about extra-ordinary things then it is meant to inspire ordinary people to do outside-the-ordinary stuff. This is a collection of my experiences/mistakes and other people's experiences/mistakes. If it works for me and people whom I knew, then it must obviously work for a lot of people. I have tried to present it in a way that will help a big majority of people benefit from my experiences.
13) If you followed some ideas in this blog and still didn't go anywhere, it only means you screwed up somewhere. Find out where you screwed up, instead of coming here wailing like a baby saying "i failed because your theory did not work". That only makes you a Loser and a sore one at that.
14) Off-late, I hate putting his/her and she/he. I'll just put one of 'he' or 'she'. Most probably it will be 'he'. Since many of you have obviously finished 8th standard Biology, you know what your gender is. Please understand such references to mean your own gender, wherever applicable.
15) There are a lot of people who have done MBA and who are writing blogs. Even more people, who have done an M.S/working, are writing blogs. Their opinions/contradictions/criticisms/love/money are welcome. As long as they realize there is a more than one way to slice a cake/ nail a cat/ cook sambar rice.
16) If I have contradicted myself anywhere or said things in an inconsistent fashion in my blog. Please point it out to me. There is a good chance I may not alter any of my past statements. But I'd like to know where I contradict myself. I have long since reconciled to a self-contradictory life. I do think most other people contradict themselves many times over, even if they claim otherwise. We'll have to live with everything.
17) I make a lot of spelling mistakes. I am very poor in 'ie' and 'ei' related things. Please point them to me. I'd like to change.
18) I hate songs in movies. Although I review movies that has songs, and may even appreciate song-picturization, I still think songs shouldn't be part of movies. I don't think songs-in-movies have anything to do with Indian tradition and I'd like to see movies without songs in the future. I used to believe in the 'sneezing' superstition among the list of superstitions blogged delightfully well here.
19) The quote above (the one about advertisements under "Lightning Strikes Everyday") is from the TV Series M*A*S*H. MASH is my all-time favorite TV Series. I have watched each episode of MASH around 20 times. Hawkeye in MASH is a character I am crazy about. His dialogs resonate with my views like crazy. If I don't change this disclaimer to reflect a new source but just delete this point, when stuff under the title changes, please assume it to be my own stuff.
20) Most of the posts don't have a point, a moral or a message. If I unintentionally make a point or write something like 'the point is' - that post maybe an exception.
1) Graduate Studies in the U.S is Post-Graduate Studies in India. While in India a person who has completed his Bachelors degree is called a Graduate in the U.S he is just a person with an Under Graduate degree.And while in India a Masters level degree is called Post-Graduate degree, in the U.S its just a Graduate degree. Wokay?!
2) oh! almost forgot. While in India you stop going to a school after XIIth Grade (High School), In the U.S you are going to a school as long as you are studying (even if you are doing a Ph.D). Any place which offers education can be called as a school in the U.S. Whereas in India once you throw away your uniform and finish high school you start going to college and not school. In all the blogs concerning education the terminology that will be used will be U.S terminology.

My dad bought me a blank pcb board and I wanted to make a pcb (first time) the problem is that it is real dirty. It also have some scratches on it. Here is some pics. If any one can give me an idea how to clean it. I tried with spirit, water and soap but nothing worked.
Oh and should I clean both sides or only the one which I transfer to?

Years ago, seed companies would start sending out their vegetable catalogs in late winter with the hopes of capitalizing on upcoming spring fever. But in some evolutionary fashion, one that has run in a parallel universe to that of Christmas, the catalog season creeps further and further away from the actual event.
As we have all witnessed, Christmas and holiday paraphernalia make their way onto shelves soon after Halloween, and shoppers start running credit cards on Thanksgiving evening rather than waiting until Black Friday. And, of course, we all cringe and complain about the holiday creep, but if it werent for the throngs of people lining up to buy their precious electronic gadgets as soon as they finish their pumpkin pie, I know the stores would not be open.
Similarly, seed catalogs now come out before Christmas (hmm, coincidence?), just a couple months after we put our gardens to bed. Now, Ill admit it, I dont throw those catalogs away. But as a father of a couple of kids who still feel the holiday spirit from head to toe, my focus is directed toward them.
Maybe it has something to do with the vast number of choices one now has with vegetables. There is the possibility that it would take a person a longer amount of time to choose which variety of lettuce (Johnnys Seeds currently has 121 choices) or tomatoes (Territorial Seed Co. offers up 108 options) to grow than to wrap every Christmas gift. And, of course, each description reads like a romance novel, trying to convince someone in Southwest Colorado who lives at 7,500 feet that even they can grow sweet corn. So if one were to read the catalog, cover to cover, it could potentially take until spring.
As I have mentioned before, multiple errors have taught me that it is a much more efficient use of garden space to grow what you, or your family, like to eat. While I love rutabagas, and I am often saddened by the lack of love (even in the aforementioned seed catalogs) they receive, they take up a lot of space in my raised beds, and on more than one occasion, some have sat in the vegetable crisper way too long. We grow crops that we tend to eat often (carrots, lettuce, squash, beans), preserve (tomatoes, beets) or store (potatoes, onions, garlic). Even with that conservative approach, the family always likes to throw in a couple wildcards: watermelon radishes, rainbow carrots, and, hopefully, in 2013, they choose shishito peppers. But like so many of our gardens, mine is limited in space, and when you factor in the essentials squash, zucchini, tomatoes the square footage is greatly reduced.
So choose your crops wisely and map out your garden before you plant. Before ordering your seeds (or buying your transplants) know how much space you actually have and how much space each crop really takes up.
Share seeds, because most of us dont really need to plant 250 radishes.
Oh, and start preparing for Valentines Day its only 34 days away!

The ugly Scion brand concept knockoff of the Honda Element. This boxy vehicle was marketed to a target audience of high school boys who typically cannot afford to purchase a more expensive and better quality vehicle like a Honda Element. For unexplained reasons, it is quickly becoming a favorite vehicle among bros who are giving up their fuel inefficient bro trucks due to high gas prices. Scion provides fairly numerous accessory kits, but all the owners tend to buy the exact same ones, failing to individualize their vehicles. Because so many kits are available, most owners never install true "custom" modifications.

Receive Dental Health Tips from a San Mateo Family Dentist
These dental health tips from a San Mateo family dentist are your key to keeping your teeth and the teeth of your loved ones in the best health possible. To avoid expensive dental bills, cavities, and even more severe oral infections, take proper care of your teeth by following these guidelines.
1. Begin bringing your child in for dental care as soon as their first tooth arrives.
Many people wait until their children have a full mouth of teeth before they visit a dentist. We encourage families to visit much sooner than this. Fifty percent of children between ages 12-15 have cavities due to waiting too long to visit the dentist and not employing proper dental care. Teaching your child the importance of thorough dental care from the earliest age possible will lead to years of cavity-free teeth. Another great aspect of visiting the dentist while teeth are coming in is that we offer sealants that can provide an extra coating of protection for your child's teeth. Our sealants can significantly reduce the occurrence of dental caries, and the sealant application process is fast, simple, and affordable.
2. Talk to a San Mateo family dentist about fluoride use.
Fluoride provides an advantage much like that of sealant for your teeth and your child's teeth. Fluoride is not technically a protective coating, but it does provide your teeth with the necessary minerals to strengthen them significantly. Since your teeth remineralize naturally when enamel wear occurs, fluoride jumpstarts and assists this process. If you do not drink fluoridated water, it is especially important that you take steps to receive the needed fluoride application for your teeth. Make sure you are always using toothpaste and/or mouthwash that includes fluoride.
3. Brush and floss every day, twice a day at least.
No matter what your age is, you should brush your teeth twice each day. You should also make sure you floss at least once a day. This is the most important of all our dental health tips from a family dentist. Brushing and flossing as directed helps keep your teeth free of plaque buildup, which, if not removed, can lead to periodontal disease (gum disease) and severe tooth decay. You should make sure you are using a toothbrush that is not too worn out. Toothbrushes that are worn do not remove as much plaque as newer brushes. Change your toothbrush every 3-4 months to get the most out of brushing.
4. Visit our family dentist office at least twice a year.
You should schedule bi-annual visits to our office for every family member. It is best to visit every four to six months so we can keep your teeth and gums free of extra plaque and bacteria. We will be able to tell if you have any developing cavities and if you are taking the most thorough care of your teeth possible. If you have questions regarding teeth and gum care, we can answer them when you visit.
These are only a few dental health tips from a San Mateo family dentist that we suggest you follow. For many more dental health tips to ensure you have a cavity-free mouth, visit our office.

Sydney Jenkins and the Crimson face Penn in its second Ivy League game (photo Justin Agaloos).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard field hockey team will take on its second Ivy League opponent of the season Saturday, when it travels to Penn for an 11:30 a.m. contest.
About Harvard
The Crimson (1-4, 0-1 Ivy League) has dropped its last four games after topping Holy Cross, 1-0, in its season opener. Sophomore Caitlin Rea has paced Harvard with three points, on three assists, through the first five games. Rea has contributed to all three Crimson scores this season, as Catriona McDonald, Caroline McNeill and Noel Painter have found the back of the cage. Senior co-captain Cynthia Tassopoulos has started four of five games in goal and enters the weekend with a 1.91 goals against average and .800 save percentage.
Last Time Out
Harvard was issued a sudden loss when Yale tallied a game-winner 12 minutes into overtime Sept. 15. The Crimson erased a 1-0 halftime deficit on a Noel Painter goal with four minutes remaining in regulation to force extra time before eventually falling. The two teams played an even match throughout as they ended tied in shots, 15-15, and penalty corners, 13-13.
About Penn
The Quakers (3-3, 0-1 Ivy League) won its first three games of the season, before going on a three-game skid. Most recently, Penn was pummeled by Cornell, 4-0, Sept. 15. The Big Red scored four times in the first half, although Penn had the advantage in shots, 9-8, during the first 35 minutes. Junior Julie Tahan leads Penn in goals with five and junior Amelia Cohen has also added four scores. Sophomore Carly Sokach has started all six games in goal and has allowed 19 goals while stopping 36 shots.
Ivy League History
Princeton and Yale split the Ivy League championship last season, ending a six-year run of outright titles by the Tigers. Prior to 2011, the last time a team other than Princeton won the Ancient Eight was 2004 when Harvard and Penn shared the championship. Harvard's last outright title came in 1990, while Penn hasn't had sole possession of the championship since back-to-back titles in 1992 and 1993.
All-Time Series
Harvard has taken the last two matchups against Penn and has an 18-11-2 advantage in the all-time series. Noel Painter and Bridget McGillivray scored in last year's matchup to lead Harvard to a 4-1 win. The Crimson is 8-7-1 against Penn in Philadelphia.
Join the Conversation
Be sure to follow Harvard field hockey on Twitter (@HarvardCrimson) and Facebook (facebook.com/HarvardFieldHockey) for updates throughout the season.
Up Next
The Crimson comes back to Jordan Field Monday to take Bryant in a 6 p.m. non-conference matchup.

The Gardener Within
I believe that gardening should be all about self-expression and personal style. To each his own, as it were.
But when it comes to practices that are unnatural and environmentally unhealthy, I need to speak up. Call it self-appointed deputizing for fighting crimes against horticulture, as my friend and West Coast colleague, Billy Goodnick, has coined such practices.
There"s no shortage of instructional horticultural how-tos, from planting a tree, growing a lawn or pruning roses. But apparently, not enough people are getting the message when it comes to what not to do.
Case in point: The starkness of winter always reminds me of a problem found across the country. My personal pet peeve is tree-topping (also known as pollarding, stubbing, dehorning and heading). Topping results in the largest branches lopped off to mere nubs, void of all leaves and appearing more like a large coat or hat rack, rather than the graceful form that nature intended. It is a sad and pitiful sight to come upon such a tree after a topping incident.
Despite numerous campaigns by such organizations as Plant Amnesty International and articles by the International Society of Arboriculture and other credible sources, people still do what they do. In this case, maim, mangle and unknowingly ultimately kill beautiful trees in the process. How people do not link the cause and effect impact of topping trees to their deadly decline over subsequent seasons, I do not know. There"s a right way to do anything, even when it becomes necessary to prune overgrown trees, but coat-rack cutting is not one of them. Few trees can withstand the incredible stress put on them by such drastic measures, especially when the process is repeated over several years. It"s only a matter of time before the only reminder a tree once stood in that spot is the remaining stump, its fate sealed at the hand of human ignorance.
In the town from where I recently moved, there were so many abuses of tree-topping that I once tried to photograph every one to build my case to whoever would listen, that these practices have to stop. But it wasn"t long before I eventually stopped taking pictures of each sad case. They were all atrocious and equally disheartening to look at, and I found myself in a bad mood with each graphic reminder.
So why do people do it — top these trees? My conclusion is that it"s part herd mentality (see one person doing it, then another and, before you know it, they"re all doing it, with no real knowledge as to why), a healthy dose of ignorance and a decent sales guy with no conscience who happens to own a chain saw and a pickup.
Fortunately, I"m not so angry anymore. I now live in a city where tree-topping is nonexistent as far as I can tell, so I don"t have the daily reminders that I lived with for six long years.
So allow me to try and close here on a more positive note, with an attempt to encourage sound landscaping practices. But please: Don"t top your trees!

Not so much Hot Stuff as Cool Stuff, really.You've got us – this is the new Dyson Air Multiplier.
They look just like the old one to me. Ah, but it's what's inside that counts. Dyson's acoustic engineers have been beavering away on the innards to make the new range of Air Multipliers 75 per cent quieter than their predecessors.
How have they done that, then? They've stripped out airflow obstructions and added acoustic cavities to reduce turbulence, while a Helmholtz cavity in the base of the fan dissipates sound waves to eliminate tones of 1000Hz – that's the maddening high-pitched whine of a mosquito in flight, fact fans.
So it won't wake me up? Au contraire, it'll waft you off to sleep. There's a new remote control with a sleep timer; you can select one of 10 airflow settings, set a time up to nine hours, and leave the fan to cool you down just enough.
Lovely. How much?You'll be able to pick up the AM06 model from March for £220 (RM1205), with the AM07, AM07 Mini and AM08 setting you back £300 (RM1640). I'm your biggest fan. But not the quietest.

Australia and New Zealand each have unique and ports, sights and attractions for cruise passengers; together, the two make a spectacular cruise destination.
Most of the sizable cruise lines sail to Australia and New Zealand at least part of the year; for some, it's a year-round destination. When selecting a sailing date, remember in the southern hemisphere winter is June through September, and summer is December through March. Summer "Down Under" means warm temperatures and strong sun, so pack your sunscreen; winter can be a bit chilly in the southernmost ports, so bring a warm jacket.
Each port that welcomes your ship will have a distinctive character. Auckland, New Zealand, is a sophisticated, multicultural city that's as much about the water as the land: the sailboats and yachts in the harbors seem to be more numerous than the people. Spend a day enjoying beaches and water sports, touring museums and galleries, or venturing out to the wine region or the Waitomo Glowworm Caves.
Christchurch, New Zealand, may be "the most English of cities outside England." The architecture, lovely gardens and punts (flat-bottomed boats) on the Avon River are reminiscent of Oxford. Visit the Christchurch Cathedral, and the cafes and boutiques around Cathedral Square. Then, ride the Christchurch Gondola up Mount Cavendish for stunning 360-degree views.
Across the Tasman Sea, Sydney is Australia's most famous port city. Many of its iconic symbols, including the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, surround the beautiful harbor: don't miss The Rocks, the historic birthplace of Sydney. From the harbor area, venture out to Sydney's beaches, including Manly and Bondi; to King's Cross, once the city's red-light district; to the Paddington neighborhood's art galleries, boutiques and cafes; and much, much more.
On Australia's tropical northeast coast, Cairns is a gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. The lively town features the Cairns Esplanade, with a boardwalk, a craft market, bars and seafood restaurants. The Esplanade Lagoon is a pretty and safe place for saltwater swimming; there are none of the crocodiles or jellyfish that tend to inhabit the coastal beaches. Many visitors take excursions to the Great Barrier Reef for unbeatable snorkeling, diving and glass-bottom boat tours.
There are more great ports and so much to see that you and your Cruise Holidays personal cruise expert could consider booking two back-go-back cruises: one to circumnavigate Australia and another to circumnavigate New Zealand. That would add up to one unforgettable cruise vacation!

Panna means cream in Italian. To us, it signifies the best - a perfect and simple ingredient from a culture that loves food and reveres cooking.
SO, WHAT IS IT? It's the best recipes designed for the home cook from the world's best chefs. But it's not a cookbook, a magazine, or a TV show. We took the best ideas from all three and built a simple, beautiful application for the iPad and iPhone specifically designed as a tool to make cooking easier.
The app will be a monthly video subscription organized into sections such as entertaining, weeknight meals, classics, and more. Starting in September 2012 and each month thereafter, you'll receive 15 new video recipes, that are yours to keep, (over an hour and half of video) created, selected and taught to you by master chefs. And you can follow along step by step, at your own pace.
THE CHEFS: We're honored that some of the best chefs in the US have joined us: Rick Bayless of Frontera Grill in Chicago, Anita Lo of Annisa in New York, Nancy Silverton of Osteria Mozza in LA and Jonathan Waxman of Barbuto in New York. As more join us, our supporters will be the first to know!
WHAT THIS FUNDRAISING COVERS: We've designed the app and have amazing chefs on board. The pledges from this Kickstarter campaign will go to cover the costs associated with filming the recipes for our first issue and launching it to the public this fall.
THE PANNA TEAM: David Ellner, who after 25 years in the entertainment industry working with artists like Stevie Wonder, Jack Johnson and Lil Wayne and running digital and business development for American Idol, decided to marry his personal passion with cooking with his business background in media and technology to start a new company. He's put together a team who are passionate about cooking including: Kelli Anderson, Kristal Bergfield, Carolynn Carreño, Jeff Domke, Daniel Dunnam, Alex Solomons and Rob Terrell.
WHY WE CREATED PANNA: If you like to cook, you probably have a lot of cookbooks and you learn something new from each one. But if you're like us at Panna, as you get better, you want more. More technique. More insights. More new things to try to elevate your cooking and make your friends and family say "wow!", and you want to cook recipes the way the chef intended. We didn't feel like anything like that existed. So we're making it.

WAG's Family Sunday Takes You on an Arctic Adventure
Winnipeg, MB, February 28: Want to learn how to build an igloo? Ever tasted Arctic bannock? How do you write your name in Inuktitut? You can discover all this and more at the Winnipeg Art Gallery's Arctic Adventure Family Sunday on March 17 from 1:30-4pm. Admission is $10 per family (2 adults and up to 4 children 18 and under).
Based on the exhibition Creation & Transformation: Defining Moments in Inuit Art, this unique Family Sunday will take you on an exploration of life in the Arctic. Try your hand at Inuit games such as the bone puzzle and tug-of-war. Learn the mysterious legends of the sea goddess Taleelayok and the blind boy Lumak. Become mesmerized by the haunting sounds of throat-singing and the rhythm of the drum-dancers. Create your own Inuit print and sign it in Inuktitut. Take a snowmobile ride to Pangnirtung on Baffin Island. If all this activity makes you hungry, take a break with some Arctic bannock.
"We have pretty much everything Arctic here except polar bears!" says Rachel Baerg, WAG Art Educator. "Creation & Transformation: Defining Moments in Inuit Art is one of our major Centennial exhibitions and it lends itself so perfectly to a really busy and fun Family Sunday."
The WAG has been collecting Inuit art since 1957, and now has the largest collection of contemporary Inuit art in the world. Drawing on works from this collection, Creation & Transformation: Defining Moments in Inuit Art is a fascinating look at the development of Inuit art over the past six decades.
"Canada's Inuit people have a fascinating culture and this Family Sunday gives families a wonderful opportunity to learn more about it," says Art Educator Sophie Begin.
Creation & Transformation: Defining Moments in Inuit Art is presented by TD Bank.
Celebrating its centenary in 2012-13, the Winnipeg Art Gallery is Canada's oldest civic art gallery and Manitoba's leading visual arts institution. With a collection of over 24,000 objects spanning many centuries and cultures – including the world's largest collection of contemporary Inuit art – the WAG is constantly moving between the historical and the contemporary in an effort to engage a growing public with the power of art in our lives.

ACT Senator Kate Lundy, the minister assisting for industry and innovation, believes that the roll out of the National Broadband Network will help Gov 2.0 initiatives flourish.
"I think most of you know how proud I am to be part of a government that's investing in a universal, high bandwidth network for Australia," Lundy, who is also the minister for sport and the minister for multicultural affairs and a high-profile supporter of open government, this morning told the inaugural DrupalCon Sydney conference.
"And what the NBN means is, of course, for the first time that … here in Australia we can invest in online services in all things digital in the knowledge that we are not going to exacerbate the digital divide.
"We're not going to create a bigger chasm between the haves and the have nots. Because at its very heart the strength of the NBN, yes it's about high bandwidth, but in my mind most of all it's about the universality."
However Lundy also said that open government required a cultural shift among public sector bodies and for the organisations "turn themselves inside out".
"It isn't easy for institutions that have thrived on a closed culture for the last, depending on when they were established, a hundred or even 200 years. We're talking about institutionalised processes that have resisted openness as part of who they are and how they were established."
"The Australian government has implemented an open government regime and supports open source tools, but ultimately their success depends on individuals and organisations breaking out of old habits and overcoming traditional fees," Lundy said during her keynote speech.
"Sadly some of my fellow parliamentarians still question the use of social media by public servants – shock, horror! Nothing is more guaranteed to send people back in their cocoons than blanket condemnation of open technologies.
"And I think it's a shame where a lack of knowledge and understanding about the power of open source and open methodologies are used to supress innovation in the public sector in this way."
Employing social media enables governments and government agencies to receive better feedback on policies and initiatives.
"The use of Twitter [is] a great example of that," Lundy said. "You get a direct feedback loop alright. Something goes wrong, you know about it really smartly. And we can use this. Agencies and service providers can use this to tweak and tailor their services. And it's quite often in observing how public services have evolved it's been through introducing a new dynamic or a new technique."
Drupal makes ground in government
Many in the public service view open source solutions as "not only as a viable but as a really exciting substitute to proprietary tools," Lundy said. The senator made reference to the Department Education, Employment and Workplace Relations' extensive use of Drupal.
The department chose Drupal based on the usual criteria for selecting software, but has also realised "the deeper benefits in having an open source CMS," Lundy said. The department has been able to build their own modules and share those with other agencies.
Lundy said that Drupal has a "very strong" reputation in the federal government. More than 60 federal government websites run on the open source Web platform. DEEWR's experience is "seen as a great example of what can be done… when you nurture a development community within an agency or department and the insight that is giving other departments and agencies is always interesting too…"
