Doda Joint Civil Society held protest, demands speedy investigation in Mintoo murder case
Hundreds of people, including prominent civil-society members, under the banner of Doda Joint Civil Society staged a protest on Thursday at the Old Bus Stand here demanding speedy investigation in the murder case of the 22-year-old engineering student, Mehraj Khalid Mintoo.india Updated: Feb 13, 2014 22:05 IST
Hundreds of people, including prominent civil-society members, under the banner of Doda Joint Civil Society staged a protest on Thursday at the Old Bus Stand here demanding speedy investigation in the murder case of the 22-year-old engineering student, Mehraj Khalid Mintoo.
The members of the civil society expressed resentment and anguish over the delay in start of investigation in the murder case of Khalid Mintoo by Punjab Police. They also criticised the Jammu and Kashmir state government for their failure in sending a police team to Punjab.
The protestors demanded a CBI probe so as to ascertain the actual cause behind the murder of the engineering student in Hoshiarpur district of Punjab.
One of the speaker said, "With Khalid's death, the number of students belonging to Chenab Valley and studying outside the state that have died under mysterious circumstances has risen to six. But nobody knows the actual cause behinds their sudden deaths."
It is pertinent to mention that Mehraj Khalid Mintoo, 22, son of Riaz Ahmed Mintoo, a resident of Doda, was found dead in mysterious circumstances in the intervening night of January 18 and 19 in Hoshiarpur district of Punjab. He was a student of final year in B Tech at Rayat and Bahra Institute of Engineering and Management College there.
However, minister of state for home, Sajjad Ahmed Kichloo, in an official letter had asked home department of state government to send a formal request letter to Punjab government to constitute a special investigation team (SIT) for probing the cause of death of Mintoo, besides sending a team of Jammu and Kashmir Police to coordinate with Punjab Police to facilitate the investigation.
Meanwhile, the protestors have warned the Punjab government, Punjab Police and state government to look into the matter at the earliest, otherwise "they would be forced to start a foot-march from Doda to Hoshiarpur".
Those who were present in the protest included civil society leader Ishtiaq Dev, chairman care for women and child Nuzhat Iqbal Zargar, president doda welfare society Mohammad Iqbal Balwan, low paid employees federation leaders Shakeel Dev and Ghulam Hassan Pampori, chairman Chenab Welfare and Educational Trust (CWET) Doda Shahab ul Haque Batt, president national rural health mission (NRHM) para medical association Faizan Tramboo, Rehbar e Taleem teachers' Forum president Sajjad Malik, tehsil president international human rights Ayaz Bangroo, president All India Students Federation (AISF) Doda Mukesh Kumar, chairman Koshish NGO Irfan Attu, Doda Youth Federation Member Rajid Wani, Obaid Balwan, Atta ur Rehman Khateeb and several others.

The ballet recital
It's amazing how quickly life intervenes and prevents you from getting anywhere. During the two weeks Damon was home from work, we got an incredible amount done… The house boxed up and moved, beginning to set up the new place… but now that he's back at work, we're lucky to get a box unpacked every day. With work, school, birthday parties, and ballet recitals? It's tough to find time for anything else.
It's a little frustrating. I'd really like to have the house free of boxes rather shortly. I don't want to go into the holiday season amidst piles of stuff.
So here's something cute. 🙂 The girl had her very first ballet recital today. Granted, it was an early introduction class for 3, 4, and 5 year olds – so there wasn't much to it. But it was cute just the same. Here's the video her Daddy took:
December is Almost Upon Us.
I don't know about you, but I could use another couple of weeks before December. YIKES! How on Earth did it jump from November 10th to November 25th so quickly? Way too many holiday projects are about to become due in no time flat. I had plans to make our own little advent calendar for the girl, but I'm now wondering if I'll have time to do all the sewing I'd planned to. I may just have to cut some corners and find little pre-made baggies to put each days "treasure" in. LOL Well, either way, I'll get something put together.
For now I intend to put on some super comfy warm holiday themed PJs, pop on a show, grab a puppy or two, something yummy to snack on, maybe my husband, and cuddle into the bed. The temperature drop today definitely says "holiday's a'comin", and rather than pump the furnace into high gear just yet, I'm retreating for the coziness of a very full bed. 😉
Goodbye Christmas!
Well… looks like the holiday season has come and gone.
First we bid a goodbye to Yule. Then it was so long Christmas Eve. Followed by a fare thee well to Christmas. A "don't care where ya go, but you can't stay here" to Boxing Day. Then today it was our family feast of leftovers… See ya next year!
It was a gooder, full of fond memories (and some crummy breaks too – gotta love a holiday car accident). The holiday season of 2011 will be generally looked back upon with joy. And here's a little scrapbooking layout sharing a wee bit of our Christmas morning:
Pictures, beginning at the top left, are of: Riki, Jewles and the kid, Ron, Wilson and kid kid, my Dad and Lily-Ann, Lily and Marie, my Mom and her grandgal, and finally Steven and Lil'. Not pictured but also present (get it? present?) were myself and Damon. Not present, but loved none the less, my brothers Aaron and Earl.

Keeping Secrets is Tough!
Gifts are a funny thing to get your head around when you're four. There's a whole lotta rules associated with them. Including the dreaded "must keep it a secret" rule.
Keeping something of that excitement level from someone you love is flipping hard! A fact evidenced by my daughters level of secret-keeping when it come to her father. A gift for anyone else? No problem. She can keep that secret. But a gift for her Dad? Not on your life.
I had thought we were doing really well. She knew back in November what she wanted to buy Damon for Yule… and I knew it was something we'd never find locally. So we began our online crusade for this holy grail. We hit big chain websites, we hit small merchants, we hit etsy, and ebay… all the standbys. And we found exactly what she was looking for. We actually spent about a week browsing through online shop after online shop – and she kept it a secret during all that time. We ordered the item, and waited for it to arrive. And still her secret she kept. She did great! Right up until the day the package arrived.
"Daddy I got you something to hold toothpicks!"
Damon returns this announcement with shocked silence. Me on the other hand? I burst out with "Lily!?!? That was a secret!"
"It's okay Mom, I didn't tell him what colour it is or how it works."
And then today, when we got back from picking up a piece of what I'd been planning for the last month… she lets that surprise slip too. We had picked up a couple other pieces we'd had printed at the same time, and with her Dad right there (and knowing the third item was a Yule gift for him) she asks "…but Mom, where's the other one?"
"Lily-Ann… shhh… the other one is a present for Daddy."
"…but where's the one of us all where we look like pirates?"
Again Damon greets this with stunned silence.
So, like I said. The politics of presents can be tough to master… especially when the gift is something you find really exciting and it's for someone you love.
Sorry Damon. Guess the cat is out of the bag, on both accounts.
Trimming our half-a-mini-faux-tree-thing.
I've shared in the past a little about our funny little half a fake tree wall hanging, and why we love it in spite of it's intense oddness. You can read all about it here: https://td365.wordpress.com/2010/12/21/the-yule-tree/
Normally I like to put the kind-of-a-tree up on Yule. It's part of our celebration… but the girlie has been asking to do so for a couple of weeks already, so I figure it's something worth bending on. 🙂 And this year, instead of just photographing it, we decided to do a couple little iPad videos – each one is only about 30 seconds long, so give them a click and take a peek.
Organizing Ornaments: After putting on the garlands, we always sit down and dig all the tiny ornaments out of the tins, organizing them as we go.
Trimming the Tree: Here's kid-kid. She did the majority of the trimming herself this year. I helped with about 1/3 of the ornaments, but only when asked. She was having sooo much fun doing it, that I wanted to save as many as possible for her.
We Wish You a Merry Christmas!: When we were all finished, Lily-Ann wanted to do one last video. So here she is singing (unrehearsed) a little carol. And I must say, I think this years tree is the best yet. All thanks to my awesomerific kid! 😀
A holiday from work…
We are on the eve of my husband's last week of holidays from work. This is the last chance to get renovations and cleaning done before Winter comes. I have high hopes for what can be accomplished… or, rather… what MUST be accomplished this week.
We've been living amidst piles these last months in preparation for this week of "time off". We've gotten toys boxed up, the kitchen mostly pulled apart, and furniture ready to be moved. It's my hope to reinvent two of the main floor rooms completely. Turning one into a living room, and one into an office with dedicated workstations for all three of us. The kitchen simply needed to be torn apart to make it function better (even if we aren't really adding anything new to it).
I love living in a small house, but it definitely offers challenges. The main one we face right now, is that there isn't enough space to accomplish any changes indoors once the weather turns cold. We need to be able to utilize our outside space in order to get these renovations completed. So time is working against us.
Wish us luck.
A week may seem like a lot, but when you get down to the nitty gritty, a week can be easily frittered away (that can't be right, did I just mix my metaphors again?) LMAO

Unified EU Coastguard On The Cards
#COASTGUARD - Greater co-operation between Europe's coastguard organisations is inevitable, according to the Irish Coast Guard director.
Chris Reynolds was speaking at Search and Rescue 2012, the EU Heads of Coastguard conference in Dublin last Thursday, at which he outlined a feasibility study being conducted by the European Commission on a standardised coastguard service across Europe.
As Shephard Media reports, Reynolds admitted that some challenges stood in front of any effective change in the sector, noting that SAR policy at member state level is often spread across many departments.
But the Costa Condordia disaster off the Italian coast recently may focus governments to develop a "sense of urgency" on the issue, he said.
In the keynote address at the conference, Italian coastguard chief Giuseppe Troina said it was fortunate that the death toll in that incident had not been much greater, emphasising that more than 4,000 people survived the cruise ship's sinking.
The Irish Times has more on the story HERE.
NI Faces Big Fine Over Horse Mussels
#MARINE WILDLIFE - Northern Ireland faces a whopping £8 million (€9.6 million) fine from the EU over its failure to protect horse mussels.
According to BBC News, "little has been done" to protect horse mussel reefs in Strangford Lough despite promises from two government departments as far back as six years ago.
Last year Afloat.ie reported on a study from Queen's University Belfast that revealed the extent of damage to horse mussel reefs in the lough by fishing activity.
Strangford Lough is officially protected as a Special Conservation Area and a Marine Nature Reserve, as well as an Area of Special Scientfic Interest, but as BBC News states, "in reality there has been little protection put in place".
Horse mussels are pivotal to the lough's ecosystem, as some 100 other species rely on the reefs formed by the mussels in the seabed for their habitat.
NI officials now have just a few months to persuade the European Commission that they are taking strong action to protect the species, otherwise they will be charged with breaking EU directives.

IWDG to Host European Cetacean Conference in Galway This March
#MARINE WILDLIFE - The Irish Whale and Dolphin Group (IWDG) will host the 26th annual European Cetacean Society Conference in Galway on the weekend of 24-25 March this year.
The Galway Bay Hotel will be the site for the main conference sessions, while workshops will also be held at the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT).
This year's gathering is being held under the theme 'Communication: Information and Ideas Worth Sharing'. Participants will be exploring communication between marine mammals as well as between marine scientists, and between scientists and the public.
As Ireland's Wildlife reports, the conference "offers a offers a great opportunity to find out more about whales and dolphins, their conservation, the cetacean research being carried out in Europe and to meet the researchers who are working to uncover the mysteries of these most enigmatic of creatures."
Registration is now open for the two-day event. For full details of the conference programme, venues and booking information, visit the European Cetacean Society Conference micro site HERE.
Licence Application for Aran Islands Fish Farm 'To Be Lodged in January'
#FISHING - The licence application for a proposed new deep-sea fish farm in the Aran Islands is expected to be lodged in January.
As previously reported on Afloat.ie, Bord Iascaigh Mhara's (BIM) planned 15,000-tonne organic salmon farm off Inis Oírr would be the largest of its kind in Europe, and would create hundreds of jobs in the area.
Commenting on the plans, Galway West Senator Fidelma Healy Eames said it was "a major opportunity for Galway and would represent a very significant economic boost for our coastal communities."
She added: "Deep sea fish farming has proven to be very economically beneficial in countries such as Norway, Chile and Scotland. It is timely that Ireland would capitalise on our fantastic marine resources as these countries have."
According to Healy Eames, the project is expected to "meet all environmental standards and will be barely visible from 2km away and effectively not visible from land.
"It would take up a negligible amount of inshore fisheries ground in the bay (0.22%) and would not interfere with existing fishing routes or Galway Bay ferry routes."
US Cutter Eagle Returns to Home Port After Europe Voyage
The US Coast Guard's training barque Eagle returned to her home port of New London, Connecticut last week after a summer-long voyage to Europe.
Last May the ship and its crew paid a visit to Waterford ahead of this year's Tall Ships Races, where it met a contingent of Connecticut residents, before sailing on towards Hanover, Germany where she was first constructed 75 years ago.
Other ports of call included London, Reykjavik, Halifax in Nova Scotia and a final stop in New York City.
"The cadets had an incredible chance to sail the Atlantic as it was meant to be sailed," Captain Eric Jones told Connecticut's The Day.
The captain noted that it was also a voyage of remembrance, referencing the history of the ship - which the US received in reparations after the Second World War - and the laying of a wreath to memorialise the Coast Guard cutter Alexander Hamilton, torpedoed by a German U-boat off the Icelandic coast in January 1942.
The Day has much more on the story HERE.
US Cutter Eagle On Its Way to Waterford
The US Coast Guard cutter Tall Ship Eagle has set sail on its 75th anniversary voyage to Europe - with Ireland being its first port of call.
Captain Eric C Jones, who pilots the US Coast Guard's training vessel and goodwill ambassador, said the trip was a special one for him and the more than 140 cadets on board, as it will be revisiting the shipyard in Hanover, Germany where it was built in 1936.
Other stops include London, Reykjavik, and Halifax in Nova Scotia before a final stop in New York on 5 August, according to The Day.
Dignitaries and residents from the Eagle's home port of New London, Connecticut will be heading to Waterford - host of the Tall Ships Races this summer - to welcome its arrival in 27 May.
Watch some video of the Eagle in action:
US Schools Send Mini Sailboats Across The Pond
Mini sailboats could soon be spotted in Irish waters if a US school project goes according to plan.
The Bangor Daily News in Maine reports on the Educational Passages programme, through which middle school students will equip miniature sailboats with GPS trackers and set them out to sea to follow their progress across the Atlantic.
In previous years the programme - which is designed to give youngsters hands-on experience in maritime professions and skills such as oceanography and chart reading - has sent its self-steering boats as far as Portugal.
This year's students are hoping to catch the Gulf Stream to send their boats to Europe. The boats will be launched by trainees on the Maine Maritime Academy's training vessel State of Maine, which will also be retrieving a boat from a previous project that was recovered in Ireland.
New Inspection Regime for Ships and Yachts in Europe, Russia, Canada
Yachts in Europe, Russia or Canada will face new marine safety inspections from 2011 following the implementation of the Paris MOU's New Inspection Regime (NIR), Sail World reports.
Previously only 25% of ships and very few yachts were inspected at ports in countries signatory to the Paris Memorandom of Understanding on Port State Control, which includes most maritime countries in Europe as we as Russia and Canada.
But the introduction of the NIR sees a shared commitment to inspect all ships and boats visiting ports in the Paris MOU region.
Vessels will be inspected under such categories as type of vessel, age, flag, class society, owner and/or manager and inspection history. A 'Ship Risk Profile' will also classify vessels as either low risk, standard risk or high risk, requiring inspections every two years, 12 months and six months respectively.
The NIR has courted controversy among boat owners due to the requirements for classification as a Low Risk Ship, which state that the flag in which a yacht is registered must be included on the Paris MOU's approved 'white list'. At present only 16 flags have such approval.
Meanwhile, the region's 'black list' - which represents flags of countries considered high risk - lists a number of Caribbean states.

What qualifies as "American-Made" on AnytownUSA.com?
All products sold on AnytownUSA.com must comply with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Made in USA Policy, and we require that all sellers on AnytownUSA.com certify to us that they are in compliance with this policy. For guidance on how to comply with the FTC regulations, go to https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/complying-made-usa-standard.
Important Notice to Sellers: The following summary is not intended to constitute legal advice, and does not set forth all applicable legal requirements pertaining to "Made in USA" labeling requirements. Each seller should consult with their own attorney as to compliance with such requirements. See also "Important Notice to Shoppers", below.
The FTC guidelines are long! So, to summarize, two major types of products can comply:
Unqualified Claims
First, some products can make Made in USA claims because they have "all or virtually all" all of their significant parts and processing based in the United States, and the product was last "substantially transformed" in the United States. It also means that a very high percentage (virtually all) of the parts and processing associated with the product are of U.S. origin. Any foreign content or processing is so small as to be negligible and far removed from the finished product.
Qualified Claims
Second, other products can make Made in USA claims as long as certain qualifications are clearly identified for shoppers, such as the extent of domestic processing or the presence of imported material associated with the product (for example, "Made in USA of U.S. and imported parts"). In addition, the last substantial transformation of the raw material/components into the finished product must take place in the United States for these products to be eligible to make such a claim.
We value transparency for AnytownUSA.com shoppers. We wish to make our shoppers aware of the general amount of U.S. processing involved in making products available through AnytownUSA.com. To sell on AnytownUSA.com, we require sellers to certify that at least 50% of the cost of goods sold (production materials, direct production labor, and production overhead) of each of these products is U.S. based. We also require that sellers identify the presence of imported material for shoppers.
To comply with our policy that sellers identify the general amount of processing and material of U.S. origin for each product, we require that sellers check these boxes when uploading each product for sale on AnytownUSA.com:
In making/producing this product: At least 50% of the cost of goods for this product (production material, direct labor, and production overhead) is of U.S. origin, and
This product is made from (pick one):
- "All or virtually all" U.S. material
- U.S. and imported material
- Imported material
In addition, Sellers on AnytownUSA.com will be asked to certify that all products offered for sale on AnytownUSA.com have been made in America in accordance with the FTC Made in USA Policy.
These certifications are extremely important to us and to our shoppers. If it comes to our attention that a certification is invalid because a product offered for sale is not actually made in the U.S., then the product will immediately be removed from AnytownUSA.com. Further, AnytownUSA.com will be under no obligation to refund the seller registration fee. So, don't be scared about our certification policy, but please read it carefully!
Important Notice to Shoppers: While we require that our sellers certify that the products offered on AnytownUSA.com comply with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Made in USA Policy, we rely on the accuracy and truthfulness of such certifications in determining whether a seller is compliant with such policy. While we will conduct further investigations if we receive notice that a seller is in violation of this policy, we cannot guaranty that the displayed country of origin information is accurate or consistent with information provided to us by a seller. For updated, accurate country of origin data, it is recommended that you rely on product packaging or manufacturer information.

Serena, Roddick draw fans' ire
A 'Bag before the Big Show. Check back Thursday for the U.S. Open seed reports, and don't forget our guide to attending the tournament in New York:
I am BEGGING you to help me lead the charge against these American tennis "role models" headlining both tours. I watched Andy Roddick act like a buffoon yet again in front of my students in his loss to Philipp Kohlschreiber in Cincinnati. Less than 12 hours later, I had the "privilege" of sharing Serena Williams' half-speed performance against Tsvetana Pironkova with another group of my kids. (I also feel like I need to mention that Serena couldn't be bothered with hitting her own autographed balls into the stands after her win -- that was left up to the volunteers on Center Court. Serena CLEARLY doesn't want to be here.)-- Patrick Fete, Cincinnati
• I got a message from a well-placed source the weekend before last suggesting that after reaching the Toronto final, there was no way Serena would stick around for the Cincinnati event, especially with her being invited to Kim Kardashian's wedding last weekend. I thought this was a joke. Then on Monday, Patrick (and others) noted that Serena apparently claimed that she was too tired to hit balls into the Cincinnati stands after winning her first match. On Wednesday, after riding a roller coaster at the nearby amusement park, Serena abruptly pulled out of the tournament on account of a toe injury. Hmmm. Without turning this into the familiar and tired discussion ("Is she faking?" "Is she disrespecting the WTA?" "Is she playing us for fools?" "Hey, wait: Who are you to question an injury?" "Her abundance of caution is the reason she's still playing!"), can we at least agree that Serena makes life tough on the Republic of Tennis?
Personally, I'm at peace with Serena. It's impossible to ignore the reality that she competes like no other player and, when able and willing, she's simply the best. It's also impossible to ignore how shabbily she treats the tour, events and her own fans. Trust me: Victoria Azarenka had nothing on the groans emitted by administrators after the latest "Serena shenanigans," as they've been called by assorted suits (and pantsuits). But what's the WTA to do? Call out its most marketable star? Question her commitment when so many of her contemporaries have either retired from burnout or been chronically injured? What's the USTA to do, especially when it needs Serena well after her career is over? The Cincinnati tournament isn't going to call her out either, not when it might need her next year.
So I think we just resign ourselves to this: Serena is not Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal. She's doesn't hold the sport's institution in high regard. She either doesn't have a knack for p.r., she's indifferent to perception or she gets some of the worst advice in the history of celebrity. There will seldom be an absence of drama, whether that's threatening linespeople, bailing out of a Fed Cup commitment citing "exhaustion" but then showing up in Europe that week to promote her book, or declining to hit balls into the stands. Yet -- and this what I can't overlook -- when she does compete, you get an honest effort, a relentless competitor, a peerless athlete. Especially when the rest of the field is more volatile than the S&P 500. I think you have to pick a side and live with the consequences. You either get a champion who may disappoint with her playing schedule and breaches of decorum, or you get a player you can dislike personally who is impossible not to admire when the ball is in play.
As for Roddick, we've often said that he was born in the wrong era. While this usually pertains to tennis and the unfortunate coexistence of Federer and Nadal and now Novak Djokovic, it also pertains to his conduct. At a time when the champions comport themselves like champions, Roddick's antics and implosions are thrown into sharp relief. Hitting a ball into the stands in frustration, as he did the other night in Cincinnati, is hardly a felony. But there's a larger of pattern of regrettable behavior, especially the protracted debates with the chair umpire and mistreatment of linespeople that reek of bullying and, maybe more important, rarely seem to help his tennis. Roddick's body and game have been betraying him, and that is surely a source of great frustration. But, judging from your mail, his good will is diminishing. That's more unfortunate than all the losses. You'd like to see him finish strong -- both on the court and in the court of public opinion.
Here's the good news for Patrick and the others: If it's role models you're after, there are plenty of other options, both male and female. Even if you insist on restricting yourself to Americans, you could do worse than the Bryan brothers, Mardy Fish, John Isner, James Blake (whose results have tailed off but his good-guyness has not) and Venus Williams.
I hope Novak Djokovic has something left in the tank for the U.S. Open. Tennis can be so cruel. ND probably has won too many matches for his own good. Is ND still the U.S. Open favorite? And what a great time for Andy Murray to peak. I believe in his chances in New York.-- Dave, Jersey City, N.J.
• At this writing, we're still at the "fingers crossed" stage with respect to Djokovic. Give him credit simply for playing Cincinnati, where he withdrew from the final against Murray with a shoulder injury. As we discussed last week, he had already won a hardcourt tune-up in Montreal. He was playing well. He had a mental edge. He's logged a lot of matches in 2011 (59, with 57 victories). Apart from complying with the ATP schedule, there wasn't a whole lot of upside from playing the second of a back-to-back Masters Series event. Sadly, risk trumped reward here. You hope he recovers over the next week and that health isn't the determining factor in whether he wins his third major of the year.
As for Murray, we invoke the Wilander Rule: You can't be picked to win a Slam until you've won a Slam. But, yes, he is peaking at the right time. His title was overshadowed by Djokovic's injury, but it shouldn't go unremarked upon: Murray looked awfully strong.
When asked about Roger Federer's chances to win a major, we've said, "Sure, but a lot has to break right. The Fates have to help." Well, with Nadal looking un-Nadal-like (thanks in part to teppanyaki, of all things) and Djokovic's status suddenly in doubt, it's starting to feel a lot like 2002. Murray is in this camp, too. Without picking him to win, there's an opportunity here.
Last week, Tim from New York asked, "Why are the two summer Masters Series events (Rogers Cup and Western & Southern Open) played back-to-back?" While these are in the summer lead-up to the U.S. Open, the bigger question is why the two biggest non-Slam events (Indian Wells and Miami) are hosted back-to-back. These are the only two-week Masters events, they are both joint ATP/WTA events and they have 96-player draws instead of 64-player draws. And yet, Miami starts the day after Indian Wells ends. Davis Cup is played the week before Indian Wells. If you moved Davis Cup to the week between, you'd at least give SOME players a break between the two.-- Ted Ying, Laurel, Md.
• Keep in mind that the majority of the players are from Europe. Spacing out Canada and Cincinnati means they tack on an additional week to what is already a long stretch in the United States. That's a lot of Marriott nights and Chelsea Handler and Olive Garden. As for Indian Wells and Miami, they're back-to-back on the schedule, but Indian Wells finalists typically get a few days off before starting in Miami. And there is sometimes an extra day between matches at both events. That makes a lot of difference.
I've been thinking about on-court coaching and the Cincinnati final between Maria Sharapova and Jelena Jankovic exemplified the biggest reason I dislike it. It takes away a factor that sets tennis apart from other sports, which is that the players have to find their way out of trouble on their own. Without it, it's a routine win for Sharapova, who is much stronger mentally. Bring in coaching and JJ gets the opportunities to get out of her own way after someone else presents her with tactical advice and some good pep talks. It makes for better TV and probably higher-quality matches, but it doesn't feel right. What are your thoughts on this?-- Dave, Jersey City, N.J.
• On-court coaching is wrong on so many levels. It's a corruption of the rules. It sends an anti-feminist message. It's of no value to the fans. Eventually the WTA will cut bait.
Just curious if you are getting any mail about the Bryan brothers' "700" jackets commemorating their number of victories as a team? Lord knows there was enough flak when Federer put on the "15" at Wimbledon; I didn't have a problem with it then, and I don't now. I still don't know how it's different from the winning Super Bowl team immediately putting on the champions hat and T-shirt, but ...-- Lori, Kitty Hawk, N.C.
• Rule of thumb: The money you would spend on congratulatory apparel, either on yourself or someone else? Instead, invest it in a nice dinner or surround sound equipment or an iPad. Maybe even a charitable contribution.
• Maybe a year ago, a friend told me that he'd had a tennis lesson with a former ATP pro. "Who's that?" I asked.
"Alex Bogo -- something."
"Yeah, that's it."
In a downright Fishian "mid-carrer turnaround," Bogomolov has beaten both Andy Murray and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga this year. At age 28, he is ranked a career-high 45th and, after the U.S. Open, will have won more than $300,000 this year.
• Michael Rauch of San Angelo, Texas, has this week's anti-grunting email:
"Perhaps all of the concern, annoyance and vitriol is being directed in the wrong direction. Since the WTA does not appear to view this as a consequential issue, instead of voicing one's displeasure with the shrieking to the WTA, one may consider petitioning the networks. Anytime one discontinues viewing of a particular match specifically in response to the shrieking, one should contact the broadcasting network to say as much. If enough people do this, then advertising dollars would decrease. That would cause broadcasting rights to decrease, hitting the WTA where it hurts. Then it may possibly become an area of interest for them. Just a thought."
• Here's sign-up information for a U.S. Open suicide pool.
• Joe Johnson of Allentown, Pa.: "Jon, based on the following video, can you honestly say that women's tennis has more depth than it did a decade ago?"
• Bryan Park of Philadelphia: "As someone who doesn't have a cable subscription (or even a TV!), I feel that I am in something of a golden era of tennis watching -- thanks to my laptop, DSL and ESPN3.com. With ESPN3 I've been able to watch the majors and a whole host of other tournaments that I never previously had access to -- Indian Wells, Key Biscayne, Family Circle Cup, Legg Mason, Rogers Cup, Western and Southern last week and New Haven and Winston-Salem this week."
• Thanks to reader Willie W. of Riverdale, N.Y., for this bit on a local player.
• Helen of Philadelphia has long-lost siblings: Miles Maclagan and Daniel Vallverdu. Looks like Andy Murray traded Miles Maclagan for ... a younger Miles Maclagan.
• We neglected long-lost siblings last week so here's a second one, from reader Carol: Djokovic and Portuguese soccer player Nelson Oliveira.

The big money super fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor in Las Vegas could take place on 26 August.
With McGregor having recently signed his half of the deal, it cleared a major hurdle for what would be the biggest bout in combat sports history.
And while Mayweather is still contemplating signing his half of the deal, it looks like another hurdle could be cleared soon regarding the date of the fight.
According to ESPN, Mayweather Promotions are planning to formally request the Nevada State Athletic Commission for the date of 26 August to promote an unspecified boxing event with broadcast network Showtime.
While a deal with Showtime has not been finalised yet, once it has been struck, Mayweather Promotions can ask the commission to add the requested date to a future agenda.
"There are negotiations ongoing, but none of us wants to turn this into the circus that the Mayweather-[Manny] Pacquiao negotiations were," Showtime Sports executive vice president and general manager Stephen Espinoza told ESPN. "So I think it's best if we keep all the business discussions private until the deal is done."
With the bout likely to take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, it was originally pinned for 16 September until the highly anticipated Gennady Golovkin vs Saul "Canelo" Alvarez fight was booked on that date.
It is also believed that MGM Resorts International (parent company of the T-Mobile Arena) would assure that Mayweather vs McGregor would not take place within three weeks of the 16 September fight with 26 August being three weeks before Golovkin vs Alvarez.
All in all, it looks like the highly anticipated fight is edging closer to completion as each day goes by with McGregor recently tweeting that something big was coming.


text: Game & Fish Online Staff - February 10, 2016 SHOT SHOW 2016: Mossberg Pro-Series Waterfowl You might wonder about the name 'Pro-Series' in a waterfowl shotgun. You might wonder about the name "Pro-Series" in a waterfowl shotgun. It comes from the fact that many of the upgrades in these two new models —  the 930 and 935 Magnum —  come from the influence of pro shooter Jerry Miculek and the three-gun side of the Mossberg business. Waterfowler Dave Miles of Mossberg shows the new 935 Magnum Pro Series waterfowl shotgun at SHOT Show 2016. They took the features that are making the 930 Jerry Miculek Pro Series a fast-loading and reliable shotgun and put them in these new waterfowl editions. But they also put a stainless steel recoil spring in the stock: any workhorse duck and goose gun will get muck inside the buffer tube, and anything less than stainless will corrode pretty quickly, especially if you get into saltwater.Dave Miles of Mossberg said they also put additional boron nitride coatings on internal parts, such as piston rings and magazine tubes, and increased the finishes on parts like the shell stops and bolt slide to reduce friction and speed follow-up shots. Both models come in Mossy Oak Shadowgrass Blades and have a fiber optic front sight, three chokes and a stock-drop system that lets you adjust your drop-at-comb. MSRPs range from $797-$931. The 930 Pro Series Waterfowl was one of the new highlights at SHOT Show 2016. It comes in 3-inch chambering and the 935 Magnum has a 3 1/2-inch chamber.

Geoffrey Wolff, who reviews Ethan Canin's new novel in this issue, is a writer whose books include the memoir "Duke of Deception" and a biography of John O'Hara, "The Art of Burning Bridges." Wolff started out as a book critic, however.
"I began writing about books for The Washington Post," Wolff told us in an e-mail interview. "In 1965, when I was 27, Ben Bradlee plucked me from the slush pile of probationary reporters. Uncovered in glory as an obituary drudge and night police ambulance-chaser, I was about to be fired (and married) that August. Bradlee inviting me on the strength of a few reviews to be The Post's book editor was and is my hero." Wolff later wrote reviews for Newsweek and Esquire, among other publications.
Wolff had this to say about today's critical culture: "As a reader, I regret that too few fiction writers will agree to review fiction. Reviews, of course, are enemy machines, and given the ubiquity of generously paid reading gigs at writing programs and lavish literary prizes judged by peers, what writer longs to make an enemy of another writer? Besides, a novelist knows how difficult it is to write even a flawed novel, whatever an unflawed novel may be. But still. ... "

Oregon's Blount caps trying year with crucial TD in Pac-10 title game
Only this time he wasn't snarling. This time, he held a rose in one hand. The other hand held an iPhone to his ear. "Where are you?" the Oregon tailback asked late Thursday night as he craned his neck to scan the crowd.
At the front of the green-and-gold crush amassed at the barricades outside the Ducks' locker room, a hand shot upward. "I'm right here," Merissa McCullugh screamed. Guards allowed McCullugh through the barriers, and fiancée and betrothed embraced. The look on Blount's face suggested something was still missing. Blount approached a police officer, whispered something in his ear, and the officer and McCullugh took off through the masses.
While Blount's teammates celebrated the spoils of a 37-33 win against Oregon State in the greatest of 113 Civil Wars -- a Pac-10 title and the school's first Rose Bowl berth in 15 years -- Blount celebrated the culmination of his team and individual goals by waiting patiently. Still in uniform, he signed autographs and politely declined all interview requests. The look on his face suggested he was waiting for something very, very special.
Waiting is pretty much all Blount has done these past three months. He waited to learn if Oregon coach Chip Kelly would reinstate him after the Sucker Punch Heard 'Round the World. He waited to learn when Kelly might reinstate him. Once back on the team, he waited to learn if he'd ever touch the football again as a Duck.
By the time Blount faced that wall of fans Thursday, it had been three months almost to the minute since his right hand had connected with the jaw of Boise State defensive end Byron Hout. It had been three months almost to the minute since Oregon receivers coach Scott Frost dragged an enraged Blount away from a wall of equally irate Boise State fans and stopped the Malice at the Palace: On-Campus Edition before it began.
Blount's cowardly punch played in a seemingly endless loop on SportsCenter and on YouTube. He became the face of the out-of-control college athlete. To millions who had never met him, Blount was the punch. Those who knew him prayed that punch wouldn't define him forever. "It was just one of those moments when he lost control," Oregon running backs coach Gary Campbell said. "That's not who he is. I knew that."
Blount apologized until his tongue hurt for losing control. Kelly still suspended him for the remainder of the season, effectively ending the career of the 2008 junior college transfer from Perry, Fla.. Kelly had reconsidered and opened the door for reinstatement. Then, before the Ducks faced Arizona State on Nov. 14, Kelly reinstated Blount.
For two games, Blount stood ready, but he never crossed the white line. He had to settle for being the most muscular cheerleader on Oregon's sideline. A rusty Blount had come back at No. 5 on the depth chart and worked his way up. Still, coaches weren't sure if he could help the Ducks win. They didn't want to put him in to make an appearance. He had to be prepared to contribute.
Then, at 8:11 p.m. Pacific time Thursday, Kelly turned to Blount on the sideline.
"L.G., you're in," Kelly said.
"He threw off his cape," Campbell said. "And ran onto the field."
Campbell had prepped Blount for his return to the field. "Hey, whatever you do, just hang on to the football," he said. "Don't fumble. I don't care about you trying to make a big run. Just get us some first downs."
It was the third quarter, and Oregon trailed its rival by nine. Blount slammed into the line for a 2-yard gain on his first carry. He ran for two more on second down. The drive ended with Blount soaring over the goal line for a 12-yard score.
Blount sprinted to the sideline and bear-hugged Campbell. "Thank you," Campbell remembered Blount saying.
Blount wasn't much of an on-field factor the rest of the way, just as he wasn't much of an on-field factor this season. Thursday was a clash of Texans -- Texarkana's LaMichael James for the Ducks and Richmond's James and Jacquizz Rodgers for the Beavers -- and a duel of quarterbacks with clashing styles. Oregon's Jeremiah Masoli, the 5-foot-11 fireplug with almost zero chance of playing quarterback in the NFL, kept plays alive with his legs. Oregon State's Sean Canfield, a 6-5 philosophy major with a draft party in his future, would have done the original Stoic Zeno proud as he calmly stood in the pocket, oblivious to the Oregon rushers and the 59,000-seat mosh pit surrounding him.
In the end, it came down to three fourth-down plays. On the first, fourth-and-15 from the Oregon 27 with a little more than six minutes remaining, Canfield's pass sailed just wide of James Rodgers' arms and over the sideline. On the second, Oregon faced 4th-and-3 from the Oregon State 33. Beavers safety Lance Mitchell had Masoli stuffed short of the stick, but Masoli blasted through Mitchell and past the marker. Three plays later, Oregon faced 4th-and-2 from the 19 with 1:43 remaining. Oregon State had one timeout. Masoli faked a handoff and took off left. Just before he got creamed, he pitched to Kenjon Barner, who raced for five yards.
The mosh pit throbbed. The Ducks' yellow helmets bobbed as they hopped in celebration. When it came time for the victory formation, Kelly told LG he was in again. "LG's been through a lot," Kelly said. "I'm just proud of him. Really proud of him."
After the fans emptied onto the field with roses clutched in their hands and their teeth, Blount swam through the sea of humanity until he reached the locker room. After a search turned up McCullugh, he waited again. As he walked down a hallway, he finally saw what he was waiting for. LeGarrette Blount Jr., a bundle of tiny curls with his daddy's eyes, was born Sept. 17, two weeks to the day after Blount's punch landed. When Blount laid eyes on his son Thursday, the wattage of his grin could have powered the entire Pacific Northwest for a week.
"Hey, little man," Blount cooed to his son.
An Oregon employee noticed the crowd gathering around father and son. "LeGarrette isn't doing any interviews," she said. It didn't matter.
His smile told the entire story, from a Thursday nightmare in September to a dream come true three months to the minute later.

I meant to post this a couple of days earlier, for anyone in western North Carolina. There will be live jazz at the Rock Bottom Grill in downtown Hot Springs tonight (Saturday, April 23, 2011) staring at 6 PM with the North Buncombe High School Jazz Ensemble. The Mars Hill College Jazz Ensemble will follow, and they will be performing a few of my compositions on their set. It will follow with the Steve Alford trio.

Sixties Girl
The spirited success of Innocent Girl at Taunton on Thursday took our score for the season to sixty.
But we were not really in the mood to celebrate after Royalzaro, our first runner of the afternoon, had to be put down after severing a tendon on his comeback from a break of 490 days.
It was desperate luck for a horse who had shown a fair bit of promise after winning two Point-to-Points.
Innocent Girl has been highly progressive since joining us in the summer.
She raced off a mark of 73 when successful on her debut for us at Southwell in October and was running off 105 when winning the novice handicap chase at Taunton under a really good patient ride by Kieron Edgar.
He is a good addition to the team and is deserving of more opportunities.
As Innocent Girl needs good ground she was given a mid winter break of almost five months once the rain came and was fresh and well ahead of Thursday and ready to go again.
We are half thinking of running her in a valuable mares' novice handicap chase at Cheltenham in April if she squeezes into the race at the foot of the weights.
If not then it's possible that she could try to take advantage of a lower mark of 87 over hurdles.

A Poem for our Birthdays: The Miracle of Our Togetherness
Rosemary and I have been sharing this August 2 birthday for 47 years! It is a special day and we treat ourselves to play and feasting. Today will be no different!
I began the day thinking about this fun fact of shared birthdays and about our relationship. This poem came to help make her day special:
The Miracle of Our Togetherness
It is a joy for me to share your birthday!
And as we sail swiftly into our Golden Years,
Our Golden Time together,
I just want to reflect on that shared journey.
We were like two lightening bugs flashing
On a warm July evening seeking each other
In the wilds of the wide world,
Not even realizing there was a joining to be made.
We were so different! And joined with others.
You, the conservative, Catholic cosmopolitan girl;
I, the gangly, sometimes goofy, farm boy still out to save the world.
You from Washington, DC; I from the wilds of Wisconsin and Africa.
And we flashed in that July heat all that time ago;
We knew, instantly (or eventually) that our worlds had changed.
We knew some magic, some miracle had brought us together.
And we still know there is magic to make together.
It is a magic of pure gold, a magic all our own.
Others see it, know it; the gods see it, show it to us.
And we see it, know it, struggle with words to show it:
The Gold of Lightening; the flash, the sizzle, the bright light of Love.
Lammas, magic cross-quarter time, a golden time
Of harvest, the reaping time of all that has been sown.
The light shifts now from the silver light of summer
To the golden light of autumn: Our Golden Time.

A Sunday evening poem: Accept and Flow to Grace
I've been meditating on this for the past few weeks; how do we get to that state of Grace? Actually I think I've been working on this for most of my life! And last year, 2018, my word for the year was "flow." For 2019 my word is "grace."
Maybe I'm finally putting things together! In the Chinese Medicine philosophy and approach the Five Elements govern a lot about who we are, how we live and how our health can be influenced. My Element, my constitution is Wood. The virtues of Wood are clarity, vision, creativity. The primary emotion is anger. And the process to transform anger into the virtues of Wood is Forgiveness!
Another factor in "putting things together" is my fingerprints. Without getting into the details of hand and fingerprint analysis I am in the "school of love" for this lifetime. So, these words, acceptance, flow, grace and love are important to me; I wrote this poem with these key words in mind:
Accept and Flow to Grace
The magic act,
True magic,
No slight of hand,
No deceit,
Only the pure act:
The magic act
Powering acceptance;
Forgive self,
Forgive Self,
Forgive him,
Forgive them,
They know not;
Only the pure act:
The magic state,
Birthing with acceptance,
Breathing with forgiveness,
Moving through what is
Only the pure state:
The true magic,
Flowing from the heart,
Flowing from the mind,
Flowing from Cosmos,
Flowing from Divine;
The only pure Magic:
The True Magic,
The germ of acceptance,
The pith of forgiveness,
The shell of flow,
The seed of Grace;
Only the pure Magic
Grows Love.

A Sunday thought: Respect
I see you.
Yes, I really see you.
I look; and I look again.
This is respect.
I turn a cheek.
I turn the other cheek.
Jesus taught about Other.
He showed respect.
I look into your eyes.
I gaze deeply in your eyes.
I see you, really see you;
And you reflect.
I see you
And you see me.
I see respect and you
Reflect the respect I see.

A Poem for Friday: In Formation
Are you overwhelmed yet? The information continues to flood in around just about any subject area you can examine: politics, environment, world affairs, scientific discoveries, medical advances, … it never ends! And my question is, does any of it really matter?
In Formation
How does the average guy,
Filled with stress, anger, resentment,
Cortisol and dis-ease get along?
Is it any wonder that our country, society,
Our so-called culture, is in such a mess?
How in the world did we get here? I think
Technology has a lot to do with it.
I am applying our so-called technical advancement
To the Information Age we find ourselves in.
Are we in information overload?
And are we addicted to this flood of information?
The more we know the more we want to know.
But, do we really know anything?
The deeper we plunge into "existence"
The more we learn there is nothing there.
Matter at the lowest level winks in and out of existence.
Left alone it is a wave of energy probabilities.
Observe it, it becomes some-thing we call a particle;
Look away and it falls back into a wink and a wave,
Flapping in the breeze of the quantum field which
May be there, or not!
Does anyone truly understand this
When they hug their daughter goodbye?
We live in a world of probabilities
Never knowing for sure what is real,
What to believe, what is true,
What to perceive as with our own eyes.
We use to hear: "everything is energy."
Now we are told: "everything is information."
Energy packets contain the code that describes the state,
Like DNA seals our fate to grow, age and die.
Information too, grows, ages, dies – its half-life
Grows shorter through the age until it too
Winks out of existence, becomes the lie
That was so true yesterday!
We just know and then we don't, letting it go, forgotten,
Overwhelmed by the next truth in packaging, in lending,
In the telling; just another story.
As the half-life of truth grows shorter,
Does it ever collapse into Truth?
Or is it always in formation,
Always becoming something else we take for Truth
Until it too become another short-lived truth, a lie?

A Valentine Poem: Human Virtues
Rosemary "downloaded" these five virtues, or qualities, the other day in meditation. She brought this up in "Circle" when speaking of the qualities needed to complete a circle for whatever human purpose the circle is called.
As I meditated myself on these qualities this poem emerged. I gave it to Rosemary to celebrate today, our togetherness, our circle, our humanity. She wants to share it with the world. Happy Day!
Human Virtues
It all begins with love,
The creating force alive
Through the whole world
From deepest deep to highest above.
A state of being derived from love,
Self-love, the source of all;
A principle that upholds, ennobles,
Creating the foundation for Human.
Springing from honor, Human
Knows place in the world; holds
Space firmly on that foundation,
Rises to each occasion to bless.
Integral Human reaches outward
To serve humanity in blessed community.
Community blesses Human in sacred symmetry
Echoing voices of goddesses and gods.
High Purpose:
The highest purpose is to love,
Honor, grow in integrity, serve
Community in a spiral blessing rising
Through the evolution of Humanity.

A poem to recover from: "Blood Moon"
I don't know about you, but this Full Moon in Leo (Aquarius Sun) hit me pretty hard. A super moon/eclipse as icing on the cake. Even the heavens are acting up at this point in our active history making era. And while there are many aspects of this history we make to bring out cries, it's also good to laugh; the joke is always on us!
Blood Moon
Coyote cries:
"Who is eating the moon?"
It was so full and bright,
Beautiful to light my way
Through the night.
Now look at that bite
Growing large; stealing my sight.
Crow cries:
"What bloody trouble!"
Dark congealing puddle
Blots the sky with gore
After the struggle twixt
Those three; what was it for?
Earth in the middle of the muddle.
Fox cries:
"Look up, stop the whine!"
When you peer twixt oak and pine,
See that shine, a smiling break
As a curving line splitting to grin.
The din of the dark turns to a laugh;
No crime, just a joke among the three.
Bear cries:
"Go back to sleep; it's cold and deep!"
Winter Sun, Leo Moon,
Earth shadow reaps, and
For a moment everyone weeps. But
Then from sad to glad, shadow fades
Blood Moon cries her promise "I keep!"

A Poem for the New Year: More to Be
This can be a tough time of year for many; sickness, hospitalization, even death. The holidays mark passages; we celebrate hard and then the let-down sinks in. And, now, today we move through a new moon/solar eclipse in Capricorn – at 8:28 PM Eastern.
So, be careful with yourself, watch your energy level, stay atuned to your inner needs, and be!
More to Be
The list is long,
The new year moves
Ahead, more's afoot,
Low sun shadows head north.
Days remain short,
Long dark cools the soul.
Energy wanes in the aftermath
And always more to do.
Chill winds blow,
A chance of snow,
Time to hunker
Shrugging in the lee.
Moon hunkers in sun's lee
Tonight. Long lists wait,
The breath abates,
And always more to be.

James TaylorLive (1993)
Текст песни с переводом слов James Taylor «I Will Follow» из альбома «Live» (1993).
I Will Follow
Yonder mountain so high, I can't make it all on my own, no.
Rolling river, why so wide? To sweep me up and to bear me on,
up against the sky so bright that I can't even close my eyes.
I know I will follow, follow love, yes, yes, I will follow, follow love.
I know I will follow, follow love.
Growing slowly like a tree, someday soon, darling I love you, I love you.
Soft and gentle, full Summer moon, set my soul free, thank you, baby.
Drifting like a cloud in the sky, I can see myself from high above.
I know I must follow, follow love, yes, yes, I will follow, follow love.
I know I will follow, follow love.
Oh, half the future and half the past, they're waiting inside your eyes.
Yes, and after all of this, to last and last till at last it's your time to rise, rise.
True believer that I am, I am blind, lead me on, lead me on.
Blessed receiver of your love, I own my own time and I've been holding on, holding on.
Leave the word unspoken and the spell will not be broken.
And I'm bound to follow, now, follow love. I know I must go, follow love.
I must follow, follow love. Yes, I must follow, follow love.
Someone to hold my hand, follow love. Somebody to lead me on, follow love.
Somebody to walk beside me, follow love. Someone to follow me now, follow love.
I must follow love, follow love. I will fall in love.
I will follow love, follow love, anywhere it leads me.
I will follow love, follow love, follow love.
