Koyambedu Bus Stop (CMBT) – Chennai
Last weekend, I was in Chennai Koyambedu Bus Stop (Chennai Mofussil Bus Terminus). It is more than a decade since I travelled long distances in buses – most of the time we end up in trains or air. Obviously I never had the opportunity to see the Koyambedu Bus Stop so far, though I have heard about it many times in the past. It was an unplanned trip to Chennai (to support my relatives in their sudden bereavement) and I was returning to Bangalore and the state transport bus seem to be the most viable option for unplanned travel.
My first impression when I stepped into the Koyambedu bus stop was "WOW, it is huge". I was even more impressed when I saw a nice central welcome hall which gave lot of space for passengers and public to wait. I was completely sold on the CMBT when I saw the excellent direction boards which clearly listed the platforms and the corresponding places where buses ply. I saw few wandering foreigners who were looking at the direction boards and making notes.
I was thrilled that I got easy directions from sign boards and started walking towards the platform bay where Bangalore buses start. I was so relaxed that I spent good time on the way in a small shop getting magazines and newspapers. When I reached the bay, I was in for a shock – as I saw buses travelling to some Tamilnadu cities were in the bay. I again went and checked on the sign board which clearly said – platform 5, bay 23. I enquired with couple of bus drivers who were standing and chatting – they were very helpful. Here is the conversation
me: sir, where is Bangalore bus?
conductor 1 : Bangalore busa? antha pakkam sutthi ponga (Bangalore bus? go around to the other side)
me (confused!): board said 5th platform…this is 5th platform
conductor 2 (looking at me as though I am from another planet): idatha mathidanga – board appidiye irruku! (changed the place, but the direction board is not changed!).
Now, I just ran around to find the right platform ……..God, you made my happiness short-lived!! And if you think that the story stops here……it continues ………….
Having used to making advance bookings on trains and air using net (especially, I have mastered the Tatkal booking scheme of Indian railways!!), I fell into the prey of booking the bus travel ticket over net (www.tnstc.in). As it was a hurried trip and it was a sunday morning, I did not get a print out assuming that the handheld I carry can display the ticket to the conductor. I also had my ID card listed in the ticket and thought it should suffice.
When I found the right place of Bangalore buses, I was into the second shock. There was no unique number for the bus which I was supposed to go (may be, I am still not very sure if I have missed it). There were three buses waiting to start to Bangalore and all the three had the same route number. Again, I reach out to the conductor standing near one of the buses
me: I have booking for the bus which starts at 10.45. which bus is that?
conductor 3 (looks very vaguely at me – again it is the look of "which planet did you come from?"): "intha busu pathinoru manniku pogum. eeri seatla okkarunga (this bus will go at 11. get in and sit).
me: (puzzled!): I do not have a print out of the ticket, it is in this phone and you can see it in this. is it ok?"
conductor 3 (completely convinced that I am in no way a passenger who can go by bus): "illa illa, print out venum. (no-no, need print out)"
me (not lost confidence yet!): I have my id card – voters card (with too much of a confidence!) also. you can compare it with your list.
conductor 3 (irritated now!): "print irrunthathan vandilla eeralam (only if you have print out, you can get into the bus)"
me (bit tensed now!): Is there any office where they can print out here?
conductor 3 (totally lost interest): poi keetu paarunga anga – (go and ask in office)
Now, considering I have less time, I run into the office and ask them if they can print the tickets out (as there were no shops inside the entire CMBT bus stop which can print). While there were two computers and two folks operating it, they were least interested to even hear about my problem. I came back to the bus again and this time there was another conductor 4 who felt it was ok to get into the bus. I just got in and sat – yes, I did come to Bangalore.
So, if you are a first timer in CMBT, remember two basic lessons – ensure you validate the platform numbers with conductors and not just go by those direction boards. And avoid net booking and get the tickets directly from the conductors – considering there are so many buses plying it should be ok to just go and get the tickets on a normal day (may be, the reservation may help on some holidays or festival days where the crowd is too high).
Koyambedu – I know how to handle you now! 🙂 🙂 🙂

The IFPI has partially succeeded in its war against the Pirate Bay, at least in one European country. The international counterpart of the RIAA won a lawsuit last week in Denmark that resulted in one Danish ISP, Tele2, being ordered to block access to the site. Tele2 has complied for the time being, but the ban hasn't exactly dealt a blow against the Pirate Bay—in fact, the site is getting more traffic than ever from users in Denmark and has already found new ways to help Tele2 customers to get around the ban.
The Danish court found that the Pirate Bay is indisputably used as a means to traffic copyrighted materials between users and that Tele2 is responsible for making the site freely available to customers. "[T]he court finds that DMT2 Ltd., by giving its customers access to the www.thepiratebay.org, assists in the violation of the copyrights administered by the claimants," reads the translated ruling posted at Danish consumer rights lobby group Piratgruppen. "DMT2 Ltd. is ordered to undertake the adequate measures, suitable in the prevention of access for DMT2 Ltd. customers to the web site of www.thepiratebay.org and related sub pages and sub domains."
Tele2 went along with the ruling and began blocking access to the Pirate Bay, but not happily. It was the only ISP in the country ordered to block the site, while others were allowed to continue serving up Pirate Bay pages. "In this case, we think it is needed to have a clarification of the legal grounds, and that is why we are discussing this with the other companies," Tele2 regulations chief Nicholai Pfeiffer told IDG.
Still, the Pirate Bay wrote on its blog that traffic in Denmark is up 12 percent since the ruling last week, which it attributes to media attention and users trying to find ways around the ban. The group wrote that Tele2 customers are beginning to find DNS solutions—such as OpenDNS—that don't block the site, and many of them are using the Pirate Bay's new domain thejesperbay.org for their torrenting needs. From just Tele2, the Pirate Bay says that there has been no noticeable traffic difference before and after the ban.
This isn't the first time the IFPI has held Tele2 responsible for aiding in the trafficking of copyrighted content. A very similar Danish court ruling came down in 2006, demanding that Tele2 block access to Russian music site AllOfMP3, which didn't go over very well at the time either. Industry groups called the move dangerous, as ISPs could also be forced to censor sites that also provide access to freely-published, legal content (such as, well, the Pirate Bay). Piratgruppen spokesperson Sebastian Gjerding agreed, telling TorrentFreak last week, "In Turkey and China, it's the state that decides what information the people can access and what should be censored. In Denmark its apparently the record industry."
Of course, the folks behind the Pirate Bay wouldn't be happy without voicing their own opinions on the matter, which is that they operate legally within the confines of Swedish law (where the operation is based). Gottfrid Svartholm Warg spoke on television about the case, saying that the site doesn't actually transfer illegal materials and is therefore not guilty of copyright infringement. "It's not stealing, morally or legally," he said.

The Cost of Government Guarantees
John Kay's column in yesterday's Financial Times criticizes government guarantees to banks because they involve hidden but large costs. According to Kay:
- Such guarantees distort competition: sheltered banks outperform rivals not because of greater efficiency, but because capital becomes cheaper to obtain.
- Sheltered banks gain too-big-to-fail status, which creates barriers to entry for smaller, more efficient banks.
- Relief from business risk leads to more risk taking, AKA moral hazard.
- Cheaper private risk management incentives are reduced within and outside the bank.
Other kinds of government guarantees, such as social insurance, also involve large hidden costs. Social Security and Medicare's guarantee of a paid holiday with medical care for the rest of retirees' lives generates the same types of costs:
- Labor competition is reduced because the programs induce early worker retirements, which leads to higher wage costs, on average, and lower national output.
- Workers who believe they will receive Social Security and Medicare will engage in lower personal saving, which means less capital formation and lower economic efficiency.
- Retirement income guarantees induce riskier personal savings portfolios, AKA moral hazard.
- Guaranteed retirement income means poorer financial knowledge and poorer risk management.
And now, retiree political power is too big to fail as well!
How come when Kay writes about market distortions from government guarantees for banks, he gets published; but when I do the same about government guarantees for people, I get the cold shoulder from editorial page editors?

Dog Tags
The unique purpose of custom dog tags was constant for hundreds of years. But in recent years, imprinted identification markers were embraced by the public for their ability to display specific information. Personal identification data, often including vital medical information, is a popular and potentially life-saving way to use these items both on and off the battlefield. Usually manufactured from durable, corrosion-resistant metals or materials, they keep your message legible and intact no matter how roughly the wearer treats them. Typically worn around the neck on a chain or lanyard these products have become popular and stylish way for people to express themselves as well as display affiliations. So whether you need custom dog tags to communicate a personal belief, name, or marketing message, the prominence of these products will ensure that your message receives optimal exposure, no matter what.

Not a regular Summer Camp...
Posted 30 September 2004 - 12:33 AM
I live in a small suberb in Connecticut known as Colchester. I recently moved back here and about a year ago i heard about this old camp in my town that doesnt run anymore. There has been many stories. One is that a Camp Counsiler went mad and killed several kids. There has also been many reports of seeing and hearing screaming children. On some accounts there has been stabbing sensations in the stomach of some of the visitors. I myself have not gone into the camp mainly because there is no tresspassing but i have driven by on various accounts. If anyone has anymore information on this mysterious camp please reply. Thanks.

Colchester - Camp Connecticut - in pictures taken there are many "orbs" near the main gate and near the large sign within the camp, examinations shown not be photo error or bad development. Witnesses have seen 40 apparitions standing in front of the gate, as they walked towards them they parted, letting them though, and they walked right in between them. as the got to their car the figures slowly disappeared.
and this on dawghouse
"Camp Connecticut is supposedly haunted. It's located in Colchester. The exact location I'm not too sure of but you can reach it by taking a dirt road off of Rt. 85, I believe. Across the street from the entrance is a house with a door that leads to nowhere. The door is on top of the house. I heard that the people that live in that house do some pretty strange rituals in the camp ground (which is no longer in use, and is privately owned), such as sacrificing animals and/or children. My friend claims she's seen skulls laying all around the camp sites, but I have yet to see this place with my own eyes."
12.18.02: Coby writes, "I would love to know where the individual who submitted this thinks Camp Connecticut is located. I live in Colchester and also belong to a ghost hunting organization. I discussed this with a friend of mine who grew up in Colchester and still lives in town and he shook his head he has never heard of "a dirt road off of 85." I have never seen a dirt road off of 85. It is a major road that runs through the center of town. I travel up and down it every day. I really have a feeling someone is pulling your leg."
12.20.02: A visitor writes, "I live in Hebron and Camp Connecticut is a shortways beyond the rec park in Colchester. You will see a sign on the left that says, plain as day, "Camp Connecticut." I heard that there is a payphone that has been disconnected from the phone lines but has been known to ring on occasion. I have never been on the grounds but Camp Connecticut is there."
10.20.03: A visitor writes, "For my entire life I've lived in Colchester CT, well within 3 miles of "Camp Connecticut". First of all, the camp is not some withdrawn, secluded place as you are lead to believe. Its entrance sits right on a well traveled road, and the gate is frequently open. The property itself is owned by the Oddfellows, a fraternal society much akin to the Shriners, who have allowed residential camping on the property. Contrary to what "Dragoon" claims, the adjacent house is not home to Cultists, but a local family with the ill-fortune of being located next to a hot-spot of urban legends. I myself have visited the camp numerous times, half of them after dark. Most of my visits have been uneventful, yet the overall creepiness of the squalid property is enough to put a knot in your back, and play tricks with your eyes. However, one occasion which still bothers me was in late March, when I ventured to the property with a few friends. We used a back trail to the property, coming from the area of Judd Brook Road. Our investigation of the area proved to be another episode of twilight hallucinations but, as we walked to Old Hebron Road on the entrance road we decided to stop once more and take photos, mostly just for kicks. Upon development of the pictures we noticed the trademark orbs of light that denote the presence of a supernatural presence. Although none of us felt anything or were accosted, I doubt if I'll get anybody else to go back with me. My best advice would be to go up there for a day and check it out, but be wary of anybody staying there, they can be a little on the strange side."

NLU Dedicates Veterans Lounge as part of Veterans Day Celebrations
By Robert Schroeder
National Louis University commemorated Veterans Day 2012 with a series of events, culminating with the dedication and ribbon-cutting of its new Veterans Lounge at the Chicago campus.
The lounge is the first major piece of infrastructure built as part of NLU's Education to Employment (E2) Veterans Initiative, funded by a grant received from the McCormick Foundation in January 2012.
"We have been given this opportunity by National Louis to put something aside from everyone else in the University, to have our own lounge, a place to stand out," said Staff Sergeant Paul Millbrandt, Bachelor of Science in Management candidate and a veteran of action in Operation Enduring Freedom. "It's incredible."
NLU Director of Armed Service Relations John Dill emceed the ceremony, which began with the presentation of colors and singing of the U.S. National Anthem. Millbrandt spoke about his role as the president of the newly formed Student Veterans Association at NLU, and fellow student and Staff Sergeant Tammy Burton, Doctor of Community Psychology candidate, offered a moving address on the critical needs facing veterans returning from conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The event concluded with the ribbon-cutting of the new Veterans Lounge and an observance of a moment of silence for the National Roll Call, observed nation-wide at 1 p.m. CST.
As an armed service member wounded in action, Millbrandt sees a need for a unique model to assist active duty and veteran soldiers seeking higher education opportunities.
"As a student veteran organization, we need to move this organization forward with the values of respect, loyalty and professional knowledge as our veterans move forward in their careers outside the University," Millbrandt said. "This will assist student veterans with developing networking connections, leadership and competent skills…that will set [veterans] aside from others due to their service to their country and their education."
Burton, who is pursuing her doctorate degree to lead services needed for active duty soldiers and veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), described NLU's initiative as an necessary extra step to ensure the post-military success of veterans.
"Some individuals don't have the types of wounds we think of when they return; they have the wounds you would never know about unless you have a conversation with them," Burton said. "This is a special group of veterans that we want to pay attention to, especially as educators, because they need an extra layer of support to make sure their next mission, coming home, is accomplished."
NLU's E2 Initiative, beginning this fall and running through 2014, aims to increase the percentage of students within at-risk groups. The key components of the E2 Veterans Program include helping military students integrate back to society by providing a military-friendly education and employment opportunities, both before and after graduation.
National Louis currently offers veterans a 10 percent tuition discount, and has been a member of the Yellow Ribbon Program, which matches contributions of institutions of higher education when tuition costs exceed the award offered by the Post 9/11 GI Bill. In addition, the university has run campuses in Washington, D.C. and McLean, VA as well as offered degree programs on the Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland.
In early 2012, NLU's Office of Institutional Advancement invited alumni with military backgrounds from the Washington, D.C. and McLean, VA campuses to serve on a veterans task force to advise NLU faculty and staff building the program. Nick Chandler, M.S. in Management '91, Mike Chandler, B.S. in Management '06, Timothy Graves, B.S. in Management and Information Systems '07 and Felipe Romo, B.S. in Management '06 and Master of Business Administration '08, provided valuable insight into the needs of today's generation of veterans. Sue Shumate, former Executive Director of the McLean campus, and Jack James, former faculty at the McLean campus, also worked with the task force.

- Born in Vietnam in 1963, I lived mostly in the US from 1975 until 2018, but have returned to Vietnam, where I live in remote Ea Kly. I've also lived in Italy, England and Germany. I'm the author of a non-fiction book, Postcards from the End of America (2017), a novel, Love Like Hate (2010), two books of stories, Fake House (2000) and Blood and Soap (2004), and six collections of poems, with a Collected Poems apparently cancelled by Chax Press from external pressure. I've been anthologized in Best American Poetry 2000, 2004, 2007, Great American Prose Poems from Poe to the Present, Postmodern American Poetry: a Norton Anthology (vol. 2) and Flash Fiction International: Very Short Stories From Around the World, etc. I'm also editor of Night, Again: Contemporary Fiction from Vietnam (1996) and The Deluge: New Vietnamese Poetry (2013). My writing has been translated into Japanese, Italian, Spanish, French, Dutch, German, Portuguese, Korean, Arabic, Icelandic and Finnish, and I've been invited to read in Tokyo, London, Cambridge, Brighton, Paris, Berlin, Leipzig, Halle, Reykjavik, Toronto, Singapore and all over the US. I've also published widely in Vietnamese.
