Russians were ordered to attend Putin rallies

· Prosecutors look at apparent breach of law

Hundreds of students and state railway workers were ordered to attend demonstrations in Russia calling for Vladimir Putin to stand for an illegal third term as president, according to documents seen by the Guardian.
Regional government officials demanded that schools in Tver region and railway departments in Novosibirsk provided pupils and employees to cheer for the president at Soviet-style rallies in recent weeks.
Prosecutors are examining official telegrams laying out requirements for attendance at the rallies. The papers were uncovered by opposition politicians and appear to be a blatant breach of electoral law.
It is unclear whether the compulsory demonstrations were ordered by the Kremlin or arranged by local bureaucrats eager to please bosses in Moscow in the run up to elections.
Mr Putin has said he will not stand for a third term in March, but many of his hawkish advisers are thought to be desperately afraid that they will lose influence if he steps aside.
A campaign to keep him in power has peaked in recent days with a series of demonstrations across the country. Mr Putin's supporters gathered in Novosibirsk, Magadan, Tver, Volgograd, Voronezh and the capital of Chechnya, Grozny, where they hung a large banner reading, "A third term for President V V Putin strengthens Russia's role as a great power!" Yet while Mr Putin enjoys genuine popular support, it seems the demonstrations were not entirely an expression of free will.
A telegram from Sergey Lemikhov, a railways boss in western Siberia, to department heads, union representatives and veteran committees, gives a detailed breakdown of how many workers from each section should attend the Novosibirsk rally on October 24, which drew about 30,000 people. "Organise participation in the demonstration by workers and veterans of collectives and members of their families in the following quantities," it orders. Hundreds of employees are told to attend.
A similar order by education bosses in Tver region demands that 55 schools provide teachers and pupils to attend a rally. There, supporters waved flags reading "Putin, we trust you!" The Union of Right Forces, a liberal opposition party, said it had lodged a complaint with the central electoral committee about the order.
Anatoly Lokot, a Communist MP from Novosibirsk, said: "It's very sad that the Russian electoral campaign has set off down this path, when the law is broken."
While Mr Putin has promised to leave the presidency, speculation that he will stay at the top table of power and attempt a return to the Kremlin in 2012 is rife.
The president has hinted he could become prime minister when his term ends. Last month preparations for parliamentary elections in December took a farcical turn when Mr Putin agreed to stand as the only candidate on the list of the United Russia party, despite not being a member. He is likely to drop out after the vote and not become an MP, but his high ratings should ensure a landslide for United Russia, which has no identifiable policies besides slavish support for the president.

Macroeconomic data, IIP and inflation, will drive stock market sentiment in a holiday-shortened week ahead, say experts.
Stock market will remain closed on Tuesday on account of "Bakri Id".
"Macroeconomic data, progress of monsoon rains and trends in global markets will dictate trend on the stock markets in a truncated trading week ahead," said Vijay Singhania, Founder-Director of Trade Smart Online.
IIP and inflation data are slated for this week which may also influenced trading sentiment.
Inflation data based on Consumer Price Index (CPI) for August and Index of industrial production will be released on Monday, while wholesale price index (WPI) is scheduled for Wednesday.
"After the recent surge, we would see traders preferring to book some profit at the higher, which will add to market pressure in the coming week. We think, its normal to see a pause or consolidation around the record high level's," Singhania added.
Coal India's Q1 results is also scheduled for this week.
Over the past week, the Sensex climbed 265.14 points or 0.92 per cent and the NSE Nifty rose 57.05 points or 0.64 per cent. Both indices recorded second weekly gains.

KAUA'I O'O A'A
by Gentle Friendly on Splinter Series
Released 16/06/2014
Gentle Friendly are the London-based duo of David Maurice and Richard Manber, whose penchant for circular melodies, tidal fuzz and rapid junked rhythms is delivered via an austere instrumental setup of vocals, Casio MT-40 keyboard and drums (sometimes electronic), alongside an array of tapes and electronics. Since forming in 2008, they have released a steady sequence of singular and acclaimed recordings, forging a sound that - whilst informed by a rich tapestry of influences and a particular brand of 'Future Englishness' - is instantly recognizable as their own.
The band released their first material in 2008, with the 'Night Tape' 7" appearing on indie label No Pain In Pop, whilst 2009 saw London DIY powerhouse Upset The Rhythm release their debut album 'Ride Slow' to critical acclaim. Uncut considered "No Age, Ponytail and Health as spiritual kin", whilst Pitchfork even cited Clipse and Lil Wayne as influences on the band. A split 12" EP (shared with Dustin Wong) on FatCat's Palmist imprint followed in 2011. Since then Gentle Friendly have remodelled and rebuilt their sound into a stronger beast at their home studio called Deep House, a practice space they share with other leftfield lo-fi artists, Echo Lake, Way Through and others, all of whom Gentle Friendly credit with helping to shape and influence their sound.
Building on the musical and lyrical themes of 'Ride Slow' and 2011's 'Rrrrr', 'KAUA'I O'O A'A' is perhaps their most coherent and assured statement to date. Drawing from an expanded palette of English originality - including the likes of Disco Inferno, Seefeel, This Heat, and Kate Bush - combined with harsh/ethereal sonic atmospheres and top 40 radio pop and R&B, Gentle Friendly have crafted a wide-eyed ode to "the sounds and feelings of a city in love and/or on fire." According to the band, "the twelve songs on this record are about a lot of things, but they are mostly collective love songs and songs about the weather. Some of them are also about skinhead girl gangs, circular time, arson... One thing we were thinking about was translation, how music from Chicago, Detroit and elsewhere could make sense in terms of this primitive broken-down set of instruments we have - two punks in an ex-industrial building hundreds and thousands of miles away hearing those sounds and trying to make sense of it in a different way."
"Over the past year or so we recorded hundreds of fragments and sketches. We then began to re-sample the recordings we'd made, to pull them all apart and rework them again, to build things up gradually until we came to what became the final forms of songs. We always begin with the same basic setup of a Casio, tape machines and drums, and this record was about experimenting within those limits. We were also thinking about making words into sounds, and vice versa (just like the title)." They differentiate the album from previous records mainly in terms of sound: "it has a lot more texture, and a totally different focus - to us the record seems very 'song'-based, even in its strangest moments."
Driven relentlessly forward by Manber's bustling, frenetic beats and Maurice's distinctive vocal phrasing - clipped, overlaid, structurally repetitive, informed by his creative writing practise - the record is a snarling, bustling, expansive sprawl . Urgent and insistent; adventurously skewed and complex whilst underpinned by strong melodic hooks, you might catch glimpses of the visceral sonic / rhythmic chaos of early Animal Collective; the fractured melodic sensibility of punk experimentalists like Wire and This Heat; as well as hearing the influence of the loop-based electronics and sample-experimentation of post-rock pioneers like Disco Inferno and Seefeel or more modern dance splinter genres like juke / footwork and wonky. The band also cite the influences of Kendrick Lamar, Killer Mike, Black Dice, Boredoms, Guided By Voices, La Dusseldorf and The Minutemen.
The title KAUA'I O'O A'A comes from the Hawaiian bird, which was named after the eerie, echoey sound it makes and declined drastically during the 20th century following the islands' cultivation after the arrival of Europeans. In 1981 just a single pair remained. The female was lost following Hurricane Iwa in 1982, and the sole remaining male's hollow, haunting, flute-like calls were last heard in 1987. The band felt the title "seemed perfect for the record. It looks good and feels good to say." The last known field recording of the species - a mating call by that last remaining male appears on '18 Wave Crash'. "Our record is nowhere near that sad but the story seemed to resonate somehow."

Saguna, Welcome to the CDN Ecosystem
September 14, 2014 September 14, 2014 by Ernie
Saguna Networks is an innovative start-up that is taking mobile CDN to a whole new level, by extending CDN functionality into the mobile network, (3G and 4G RAN). Saguna Networks was started by Lior Fite and Danny Frydman, two veterans with decades of experience in telecom, cellular and routing technologies. RAN stands for Random Access Networks, a term used in mobile networks that refers to the ACCESS part of the mobile network. Their product is called CODS Open-RAN, which accelerates content delivery in the mobile network. In addition, CODS monitors real-time radio congestion, and monitors end user distance, in order to optimize wireless last mile content delivery.
Saguna works with CDNs, and does not compete against them. One of the biggest challenges that CDNs encounter in mobile networks, is that they operate outside the mobile network, and have little control over it. Saguna is the answer that bridges the gap by extending CDN functionality into the mobile network. One of their first CDN partners is non-other than Akamai. Saguna enables Akamai to operate within the mobile network (base station) more efficiently. Other CDNs are likely to follow suit, as Saguna will enable them to become a truly wireless last mile CDN that operates within the 3G/4G mobile network.

Celebrity Accused Of Plotting To Kill Wife
SANTA MONICA—On May 17, a former Food Network chef has been charged with attempted murder and solicitation of murder for allegedly attempting to hire homeless individuals to kill his wife.
The suspect, 48-year-old Juan-Carlos Cruz, was taken into custody on May 13, at about 12:30 p.m. The Santa Monica Police Department reports that on May 7, officers with SMPD's Homeless Liaison Program were contacted by homeless individuals who were accosted by a man who propositioned to pay them for killing a person. The people who were propositioned agreed to assist Santa Monica police with the investigation, which later uncovered the murder-for-hire method, where and when the victim was to be killed, and the terms of payment offered.
The victim targeted in the scheme is believed to be Cruz's wife, Jennifer Campbell. It is believed that the suspect attempted to hire at least two homeless men by proposing to pay them $1,000 to murder Campbell. One of the homeless men is now claiming that he attempted to inform Cruz's wife of the scheme two days before the men contacted authorities; however, police were unable to confirm the events.
Cruz, a resident of Los Angeles, is renowned as a television celebrity chef and had previously hosted "Calorie Commando" and "Weighing In," (formerly known as "Take Off") on the Food Network. His bail amount has been set at $2 million.
"He pled 'not guilty' at his arraignment hearing on May 17," spokeswoman Jane Robison, of the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office, told Canyon News. "His preliminary hearing is set for June 23 at the Airport Court at Department 144."
Robison reports to Canyon News that information on the possible motives for Cruz's alleged attempt to kill Campbell is not being disclosed.
If convicted, Cruz may be sentenced to life in prison.

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on audio-frequency electric amplifiers in South Africa face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying audio-frequency electric amplifiers to South Africa? How important is South Africa compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of audio-frequency electric amplifiers vary from one country of origin to another in South Africa? On the supply side, South Africa also exports audio-frequency electric amplifiers. Which countries receive the most exports from South Africa? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers? This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for audio-frequency electric amplifiers in South Africa. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for audio-frequency electric amplifiers for those countries serving South Africa via exports, or supplying from South Africa via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where South Africa fits into the world market for imported and exported audio-frequency electric amplifiers. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for South Africa in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that South Africa is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize South Africa compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes.

Life's a Pitch
Amanda Ameer
Life's A Pitch
For immediate release: the arts are marketable
Talk to me about BBC Music Magazine
February 19, 2010 by Amanda Ameer
As often as possible, on Fridays I will post interviews with
colleagues from the field who are far more knowledgeable than I am on
various marketing and publicity topics. In honor (-our) of all the gray days we've been having in New York, this week we have an interview with a Proper British Person! Here's BBC Music Magazine editor Oliver Condy on not bringing computers to the beach, Tweeting about the World Cup (…not), and how American journalists need to toughen up.
Oliver Condy has been the editor of BBC Music Magazine for over five years, before which he was deputy editor at Classic FM Magazine. Now living in Bristol, Oliver sings tenor with the Exultate chamber choir and gives organ recitals from time to time, most recently as part of the 2009 City of London Festival. Oliver has an MA in organ performance studies from Cardiff University and a Premier Prix from the Conservatoire at Rueil Malmaison, Paris.
Right, so: a glossy print magazine on classical music in 2010. How's that working out for you?
Glossy magazines about anything are having a tough time of it but, yes, music magazines are very vulnerable to the onslaught of the web. Blogs, downloading, streaming and free online newspapers have made it hard for commercial journalism to survive in the way they have for hundreds of years. BBC Music Magazine, however, is a strong brand, and I honestly believe that the more electronic our age becomes, the more people are going to cherish the printed product. But there's no denying that, at the moment, classical music magazines are seeing a drop in readership. The UK ABC (Audit Bureau of Circulations) figures were published in early February and all three major British classical music magazines (BBC Music Magazine, Classic FM Magazine and Gramophone Magazine) marked a fall in circulation. The good news for us is that, despite the fall, we saw the lowest percentage drop and actually increased our market share of the UK market by one per cent from 39 to 40 per cent. We're still the biggest-selling classical music title in the world.
A magazine, as many a New Yorker reader will testify, is a browsable, abusable, flick-through-able thing of monthly solace. Every four weeks, it thumps reassuringly onto the doormat, and never crashes, never breaks down and never runs out of battery. It's bath- and beach-friendly too. I'm not sure your MacBook Pro is terribly fond of sand, is it? We'll be ok, although I think we have some stormy times ahead.
What's the breakdown of web-only content vs. print-only content, and have you been under any pressure to go web-only? If I can play The Lorax Advocate for a moment, what's the benefit of having a print magazine at all? Advertising dollars? Erm…pounds?
You'll have to bear with me on this one. Hindsight is a wonderful thing in print journalism. This is how I see it: when the web became an unavoidable presence in the mid to late 1990s, newspapers leapt at the advertising dollars that were dancing before their eyes. Giving content away free was acceptable because, so the thinking went, the internet was a huge, limitless, brand spanking new pool for advertisers to dive headlong into. Papers gave away their content bit by bit and, for a while, falling revenues from newsstand sales were compensated by online advertising. Now look at print journalism. Internet advertising isn't as expensive as it was and papers are closing in the US at the rate of one every couple of weeks. Now UK papers are starting to wake up to the prospect of charging for online access and hiding themselves from news aggregators.
So – given everything that I've written so far, I honestly think that we'd be foolish to contemplate going web-only. There are still over 11 million people in the UK who aren't yet online, and probably never will be. Many of them are old, less privileged than you or I, or simply afraid of technology. And since we're dealing with classical music, you can guarantee that we're read by quite a few older members of society, many of whom won't want to log on.
We make far more money with our magazine because we're a magazine company – we know what we're doing and we do it well. And we know our competitors. Our advertisers also understand the nature of a magazine – a trusted source that they know is put together by knowledgeable people using the words of highly specialised, educated critics and writers. I see no point in going web only.
But, and I know I'm tackling the first part of your question last – for which apologies, our web presence is hugely important to us. Most of what we do at www.bbcmusicmagazine.com is written specifically for the site. We do have reviews up there from the magazine, but all the features, news and opinions are tailored for our site. You won't find, say, the cover feature from the February issue up on our site free of charge. That's unfair to the subscribers and unfair to journalism. Quality writing costs – and we can't simply give it away. We take a lot of pride in our audio clips, updated news items and new release info which we think complement the print version. But if you want the 'real' BBC Music Magazine, we're on the newsstands…
A CD comes with every issue of the magazine, correct? How did that get started, and who's in charge of the content? It seems logical for a music magazine, but I can imagine there are all sorts of rights/political challenges involved as well.
The CD was the magazine's original USP (unique selling point). No other magazine was giving away complete works on a cover CD when the magazine launched in 1992. BBC Music Magazine started producing them from issue one and has done so every month since. For those readers not in the UK, it might be worth mentioning that the BBC license payers support eight BBC ensembles: the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Philharmonic, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, the BBC Concert Orchestra, the BBC Scottish Symphony, the BBC Big Band (to an extent), the BBC Singers and the Ulster Orchestra (again, to an extent). Most of our CDs showcase one of these wonderful ensembles – and they are truly wonderful. We're lucky to have them.
We also tie in with Radio 3's New Generation Artist scheme and, from time to time, we collaborate with non-BBC artists.
Who's in charge of content? We have a CD editor, Alice Pearson, and she and I come up with content. She then sources it from new performances, gets orchestras to record the pieces or delves into the BBC's enviable archive – and battles heroically through the copyright minefields. Politically it's not a problem – artists are thrilled to be involved by and large, and we're thrilled to be able to have them on our discs.
We recently had a week-long discussion on this blog that involved some disagreements about how "human interest" stories affect the concert experience. As a magazine editor, where do you come down on that? The more we can tell people about artists-as-people the better, or the more potential and existing audiences are encouraged to focus on the music itself the better?
Yes – I saw that. Most people come to a concert to hear music and don't give a stuff about whether a musician likes, say, making cheese as a side-hobby. But it does no harm. We're dealing with a fundamentally human art here, and to deny musicians their 'other' existences is to dip classical music in aspic and make it irrelevant to our modern lives. Again. Why should knowing that Hilary Hahn likes pottery or baking stop us from enjoying her electrifying performances? Because we've been trained over the years by the likes of Mutter and Haitink to treat musicians as demi gods.
Everyone knew that Britten played tennis, or that Shostakovich was a football referee. Did audiences react less seriously to their music? Of course not. Knowing that Lorin Maazel likes ten-pin bowling or that Krystian Zimerman is partial to a spot of ice-diving only makes me admire them more.
I'm not saying that we should force artists to disrobe if they don't want to, but if they reveal themselves as a little more human, we may be able to understand them more clearly as artists.
Be honest: is an artist being attractive at all a factor in their getting a cover?
attractive? Have you seen some of our great musicians these days? Let's
not get libelous, but some of the great musicians on our recent covers
haven't exactly been oil paintings. Attractiveness has to be coupled
with utter brilliance – readers aren't stupid. Our best-selling cover
of the past few years was Elgar. Phwooar.
Perhaps more
pressing in everyone's minds than artists' looks being a factor for
coverage is how important being on a record label is in getting the
attention of a magazine like BBC Music Magazine. Do you consider all
records–self-produced or on a major label–equally? Are you pressured
by your advertising department to cover artists on major labels more
frequently? Do you review digital-only releases?
forget that we cover live music, broadcast music and recorded music in
equal (ish) measure. Of course, we heavily support the record industry
which I think is, artistically, in better health than it ever has been.
But we sometimes never mention as artist's disc – if he/she has one.
So, no. When we do review discs, our criterion is they have to have
distribution so we can point our readers to our online shop/mail order
shop/other outlets without them having to go to untrusted sources and
hand over credit card details online willy-nilly.
Our advertising department has no say at all in the editorial content of BBC Music.
If there was pressure from advertising and I had to bow to it, I'd
leave tomorrow. Our editorial integrity is our most valuable asset. Why
are we trusted? Because we're a BBC publication and our readers expect
– and receive – independent opinions.
As you know, I love the BBC Music Magazine Twitter feed (@BBCMusicMag),
because you can tell that the person (you? your colleagues?) has an
actual personality. Let's take a look back at some memorable Tweets:

from Tweetie
did you start Tweeting? You have an impressive 2,000+ followers. Has
using Twitter increased your subscribers or website traffic?
originally started Tweeting back in March 2009. It was something I'd
planned on doing before we were encouraged to do so by our Managing
Director in London. So we did and we've had enormous fun in the
process. We've increased our online presence through it, but I'm not
sure about subs. We'll see. Using Twitter is great for businesses like
ours – but it has to be done in the right way. No one wants to read dry
links to news stories. They want to be entertained, diverted, amused,
maybe educated or informed. But they don't want to be preached at. We
like the way Twitter opens us up to our readers in the same way that
performing musicians shouldn't be afraid to admit to their love of
croquet.
I'm curious how you feel about publicists
pitching you, the editor, versus pitching freelancers. I usually pitch
freelancers, because it seems like a good idea to have the writer "on
your team" from the beginning, but I assume you think it's best to
pitch editors?
Pitching directly to me means that I have
control over the angle of the story and who writes it. Pitching to the
writer means that the editor is stuck with the writer who may or may
not be suitable for the job. I've had a few instances when the idea has
been great, but the writer has simply misunderstood the subject matter
or not got on with the artist. So an interesting story is more likely
to run if I can dictate the terms. A sensitive story needs a thoughtful
writer, and often I can't take the risk with unknown quantities.
What do you look for in staff and freelance writers? How do you hear about possible freelancers?
do I look for in staff? Loyalty, dedication, humour, irreverence,
skill, efficiency and a willingness to party. As far as writers go, I
like deadline hitters. I also like those writers who can grasp a
concept without me having to bash out two pages of brief. I like
writers who can engage with interviewees and who can find that angle
that I hadn't thought of. I dislike lazy opening paragraphs. Never
write a lazy intro. And avoid clichés like the plague.
I hear
about freelancers either because they come knocking, or because they
have excellent references. I don't take on that many new writers, but
if the subject is too good to miss, I'll take a punt and cross my
fingers. I can always rewrite parts of their feature, if necessary.
Big picture final question: in what ways is arts journalism different in the UK and the US?
– not something I'd given a lot of thought to until now. I suppose
we're a little more scathing over here, I think. Our papers like to
denigrate the high arts quite a lot. But then we have a government who
thinks that classical music is for the 'elite'. Yawn. On the other
hand, I think US arts journalism is frequently too soft – conductors
are treated like aging admirals and concert reviews are too often
sugar-coated. Is that fair?
And, as an aside, it's worth pointing out that there are no glossy American classical music magazines. None. Fanfare is an infrequent tome with a small circulation, Opera News is linked to the Met Opera and Listen is
produced by Arkiv Music for promotional reasons.And that puts us in the
odd position of being America's biggest-selling classical music
magazine. How did that happen? That means that the only place to get a
decent number of monthly reviews of new CDs is through us and Gramophone, another British magazine.
Very small picture postscript question: In your expert EDITOR opinion, how'd I do as an interviewer?
Splendid job, Ameer.
Filed Under: Interviews, Main
Taylor V says
Absolutely fabulous interview! I loved reading the bit about US vs UK press and think it's right on. Indeed, splendid job Ameer!
Adam Ross says
I totally agree with Oliver about the press vs web issue. There are plenty of people who don't have a computer or simply still enjoys reading a newspaper. Great interview 🙂
Rosalie O'Brien says
Wonderful interview, very refreshing overall–it convinced me to renew my subscription. I like Mr. Condy's recognition of fairness to print subscribers (not that anyone who relies solely on periodicals' web presences gets the whole package). I know I risk sounding naive, but I dream that the decline in print subscribers will reverse as people recognize that over the long term, both directly and indirectly, you get what you pay for.

Rahul Dravid cutting Stuart MacGill for a boundary, removing his cap and raising his bat in celebration is an unforgettable sight for Indian cricket fans. It was Adelaide, 2003, and India had just beaten Australia in Australia for the first time in more than 20 years. Dravid was the Man of the Match, having made 233 and 72* in the game.
It was a special moment for the non-striker too, although he hadn't faced a single ball. Ajit Agarkar had set up the famous win, with a spell of 6 for 41 in the second innings which gave India an opportunity to push for a win after both teams had scored 500+ in the first innings.
What are your first memories of that game?
Rahul hitting those winning runs. Till then we didn't know that we could win a Test in Australia. It was my second trip; some of us had been there in 1999-2000, it was quite a tough lesson against arguably the best side in the world. To go back and... in Brisbane Australia played really well but we managed to draw that. So Rahul hitting those runs is my first memory. He cut Stuart MacGill, and I was at the non-striker's end.
We needed only four and I think Parthiv Patel got out, and I don't think I faced a ball. It was a special moment to witness it from the other end.
I always liked bowling at Adelaide. In 99-2000 I got five wickets in the game. It's one of those grounds where although the wicket was pretty flat, sometimes some grounds give you a nice feel about it. In the first innings I got a couple of wickets, Gilchrist and Katich. It was tough, Australia scored 400 on the first day and it was quite a flat wicket. From what memory had in the 99-00 Test, on days four and five, the wicket went up and down.
Thanks to that partnership of Rahul and Laxman, the scores were very close. We were not too far behind. There was still a fair bit of time left in the game where we could have been under pressure. The thing I remember the most was the Kookaburra usually swung. That particular afternoon we just wanted to bowl well, get some early wickets and put Australia under pressure. I don't think at that point anyone was thinking about winning the Test match because when there is 500+ runs scored by both teams and there's just one and a half days left on a good pitch, you don't think that you'll bowl a team like Australia out in their conditions and be in with a chance.
Fortunately the ball swung. Swung into Langer. Ponting was in some form... he has been in good form all his life and had made a double-hundred in the first innings. It was probably a ball too close to him and maybe with the new ball, it bounced a bit more. Instead of cutting square of the wicket, it went behind the wicket and Aakash (Chopra) took a sharp catch at gully. That kind of helped. Two premier batsmen, and the ball was still new. Suddenly the middle order was exposed, although it was a strong middle order.
It was one of those grounds where I sort of enjoyed running in to bowl. Always had a nice feel. Kookaburra generally swung for the first few overs, and if you get it right, you're always in with a chance.
How were the celebrations like?
Rahul was missing most of the time as he was busy doing pressers! We didn't see Rahul until a long time later. Obviously there was some champagne in the dressing room. Indian team had never been big drinkers, so it sort of happened very quickly.
Obviously for the newer guys it was just as special, because it was a tough Australian team to beat inspite of not having Warne or Mcgrath. Maybe I'm speaking for other guys as well, but guys who had been in the 1999 trip - in most matches we were smashed then. At no point in that series did we ever look like having a chance. To then come back and then win a Test, it was quite emotional.
Did it help that India weren't thinking about victory at the innings break?
No, maybe I put it wrongly. Everyone was happy that the scores was this close so we were not chasing the game. If we had conceded a lead of even 100 runs, we knew Australia could put a lot of pressure on us.
It was one of those things where we thought that if we got a couple of wickets, we could put Australia under pressure. It was a very good pitch, and if we had to chase somewhere around 200-220, we could. Maybe I put it wrongly, of course you want to win Test matches and funny things happen in the game. But the first thought was to get some wickets, and we got it. Everyone chipped in at different times.
Do you revisit that spell by watching on YouTube?
If it's on TV I watch it. It's very fresh in memory so I don't need to watch it. Any time you win a Test match, it's obviously special, especially away from India. In India you tend to win a lot. If you perform in those Test matches, it makes it even more special. So I don't mind watching it as many times whenever it's played on television.
You were good throughout the series, the second highest wicket-taker behind Anil Kumble. Was it one of the highest point of your career?
I think so. In 1999 I was highest wicket-taker among Indian bowlers. In both series I hadn't picked a wicket in Sydney, so all my wickets were from three Tests. I suppose it's a high point. We were in a position to win the series but we didn't quite get the job done. But to go and draw the series in Australia was tough. A lot of people back home had written us off saying we were the worst team to travel and all that. It usually happens. Nobody gave us a chance. To then compete and draw a series, you'd have to say it was special.
Steve Waugh was retiring after the series and things were changing, but they were still a hell of a team. They still dominated 4-5 years after that. To beat them in their backyard, to draw a series in their backyard was special. I wish we had got the job done in Sydney, it would have been even more special.
Another famous sight from the series is you raising your bat, after you broke the string of seven ducks against Australia.
You're always fortunate every time you get an opportunity to play Test cricket for India. It was one of those things, it was very instinctive, very unlike me to really show anything on a cricket field. It was one of those things. People spoke more about the zeroes than about my bowling, unfortunately!
That seemed to be the tendency. In 99, I thought it was probably the best I had bowled in my career and nobody spoke about my bowling after the series. For some reason I couldn't buy a run against Australia. Against the rest of the teams, my batting record wasn't so bad in Test cricket. For some reason - whether it was Mark Waugh or XYZ, I just couldn't get off the mark. It was one of those things, looking back, it's quite funny now. It was relief as well. Somehow I could get a single!
Is the current tour the best chance to get a series win in Australia?
You'll have to think so. I mean Australia seem to be all over the place even though our bowling attack seems to be back. It's not as straightforward as everyone is making it out to be. The batting doesn't look great on paper but they're playing in home conditions. You'd expect them to be more comfortable than in the subcontinent or even in England.
I don't think we've ever had a better chance. We'll have to bat well. Our downfall has been our batting when we've toured. Our bowling seems to be in good shape. Every time we bat well, whether it's in Johannesburg against South Africa on a tough pitch, or Nottingham against England, our batters had managed to put some sort of score which was par for that Test. It is definitely our best chance since we've been touring Australia. At least since the cricket that I've been watching. I don't know if we're favourites, but it's very close. Australia might be favourites because it's at home but I don't think it has happened before. I don't think India has ever started on par with Australia going to Australia.
What's your take on the current crop of Indian pacers?
I think the variety. Another thing that Virat has got into the team is the fitness ethics. The guys are a lot fitter, you have to pass a certain bar to be there. And it helps. Being a bowler I know that if your physical condition is good, generally you're a lot stronger in your mind. You can push yourself that extra mile. It's the variety, you still have to bowl well. That comes with experience. Bhuvneshwar can swing the ball. Umesh can bowl fast and swing the ball. Shami has got a bit of pace and bowls straight, bowls a lot of wicket taking balls. Ishant has got the extra height, Bumrah has X-factor, whether he bowls with the red ball or white ball. He's played in helpful conditions so far, but how quickly he has adapted has been really good. The quality is there, it's how quickly they adapt that will be key. It'll be different from England or even South Africa, so how they adapt will be important.

Kelsey Grammer's daughter is Miss Golden Globe
LOS ANGELES — Kelsey Grammer's daughter Greer is the new Miss Golden Globe.
Hollywood Foreign Press Association President Theo Kingma made the announcement Thursday night at a party in her honor. It's been a Golden Globe tradition for 50 years to have the daughter or son of a past winner help hand out statuettes during the ceremony.
Kelsey Grammer has been nominated for nine Golden Globes and won three, Kingma said.
Greer Grammer is an actress best known for playing Lissa in the MTV series "Awkward." She also has a recurring role on the ABC Family show "Melissa & Joey." Grammer had to leave the party at Los Angeles restaurant Fig & Olive early to film an episode of that show.
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old actress said she's "freaking out" about being named Miss Golden Globe and is already looking forward to her duties. First up is participating in the nominations announcement Dec. 11.
"That's so exciting to me," she said.
She's also thinking about her dress for the ceremony. She said she's been clipping photos since she learned of the honor last week.
"It still doesn't feel real," Grammer said.
Previous Miss Golden Globes have included Laura Dern, Melanie Griffith and "Fifty Shades of Gray" star Dakota Johnson.
Grammer aims to follow in their footsteps with her own acting career.
"I hope to be a Miss Golden Globe who gets to come back and win a Golden Globe," she said. "That's the end goal."
The Golden Globe Awards are set to be presented Jan. 11.


I am a Palakkad native, born and raised in Mumbai. After 35 long years as a banker, I have hung up my boots, to finally follow my passion in the kitchen and to spread my love for South Indian cuisine to patrons and friends. I enjoy conversations, love running a busy household and always have friends coming over for my pure filter coffee and delectable sambar!
My wife and me enjoyed all the items and had 2nd and 3rd helpings too. Kala ji and her husband are fantastic hosts and have a lovely garden flat. We are contemplating booking for their vishu meal too.
Each and every dish is prepared meticulously and has a traditional taste which is difficult to find in Pune.. wry welcoming family..had a great time!!!Thank u ma'am for d delicious meal..
This was my second visit. The hosts and the food was outstanding. We and our friends thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Would definitely be visiting again.
It was a very good experience dining at Mrs. Kala's home. She loves to cook and it is very evident in her food. All the items were well spiced and balanced. I particularly enjoyed the payasum, sambar and delectable rasam. The aviyal is simply to die for. Simple ingredients but great dishes make up this meal. Mrs. Kala and her family were very welcoming and great hosts. Would love to dine with them again.
Excellent food and very warm hosts. Must try if you are looking for some authentic veg South Indian food.


"New Years Eve show will be released next week Jan-11-2010! We've All Learned to Expect the Unexpected…Haven't We? I had a blast on New Year's Eve ringing in 2010 with Widespread Panic at Phillips Arena in Atlanta. With a New Year's show for the ages and a ton of friends and family to share it with, I don't think I could've had a better time. Now I just can't wait to listen to the recording. During the course of the two day run, it seemed like every conversation I had ended up centering on when the next Multi Track Archive release will be coming out. Although appropriately evasive with my responses, this topic certainly put me in an archive frame of mind. So, here I was, up early on 1/1/10…and on the heels of an incredible show with a legitimate archive question running through my mind. Combining these two thoughts together, "Instant Classic" Multi Track came to mind…and before I had a chance to reject that idea, I had already crossed my fingers and thrown it to Chris Rabold. And, wouldn't you know it...instant resonation. Chris' only concern was the overall production time a traditional Multi Track release would require would not be available due to scheduling constraints, etc. After going back and forth a bit about what level of quality he could achieve in a shorter period of time, we felt comfortable we could land in a much better spot than the familiar current 2 track option and therefore, release an enhanced recording. After assuring each other that roughly a week's delay would be ok if the reason was honorable, we decided to make it happen. So, Happy New Year all over again. The Widespread Panic 12/31/09 New Year's Eve show will be available in Mutli Track format next Monday, January 11, 2010. Pre-order your copy now! Cheers, Horace Moore "
"I had the time of my life both nights guys. This coming from a 35 year old who has seen the band numerous times. We had the luxury suite D 14 rockin' and when Mike Mills came out it exploded! Great job guys, you still amaze me."
"where is the new years eve marathon?????? "
"If you guys are waiting for the NYE sbd, check the WSP news page. It won't be out until next Monday as it is going to be a multi track release."
"I have to say, this two night run was the best i've seen in a while. What I don't understand is all the negativity? The godfathers of our lifestyle would be disappointed with all that nonsense. Are the hipsters out their not appreciative of the setlist? Like the old saying goes "a bad dead show is a good dead show." To all my fellow headdies, the best is yet to come! "

New bankruptcy applications regime to come into force
By Stephen Leslie
24 Feb 2016 | 6 min read
The Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 (ERRA 2013) received Royal Assent on 25 April 2013 and ERRA 2013, s 71 introduced a new bankruptcy applications regime to replace debtors' bankruptcy petitions. On 22 February 2016, three statutory instruments were published providing for the coming into force of the new regime on 6 April 2016.
What are the main changes to be brought in by the new bankruptcy applications regime?
The new bankruptcy applications regime is borne out of government consultations published since 2007 that, broadly, invited views on debtor bankruptcy petitions being dealt with administratively rather than by the court, and how such administrative process should operate.
ERRA 2013, s 71 inserts a new section 398A and (under ERRA 2013, Sch 18) sections 263H–263O into the Insolvency Act 1986 (IA 1986). ERRA 2013, Sch 19 also contains minor and consequential amendments.
The main changes are:
individuals can still apply for bankruptcy orders to be made against them, however, rather than presenting a debtor's bankruptcy petition, individuals will instead make a bankruptcy application
bankruptcy applications must be made through an online portal, unless there are technical issues with the portal
the court will not (save in certain circumstances) be involved in determining bankruptcy applications—instead applications must be made to, and determined by, an adjudicator
creditors' bankruptcy petitions will continue to be dealt with by the court and are unaffected by these changes
According to the Insolvency Service's latest insolvency statistics, there were 4,374 creditors' bankruptcy petitions and 11,423 debtors' bankruptcy petitions presented in 2015. On the face of it, therefore, the introduction of the new bankruptcy applications regime will remove a significant amount of the court's workload.
What secondary legislation has been passed?
On 22 February 2016, a number of statutory instruments were published in relation to the new bankruptcy applications regime:
the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 (Commencement No 9 and Saving Provisions) Order 2016, SI 2016/191—this provides that ERRA 2013, s 71 comes into force on 6 April 2016. By virtue of ERRA 2013, s 71(2) and (3), this also means that ERRA 2013, Schs 18–19 come into force on the same date
the Insolvency (Amendment) Rules 2016, SI 2016/187—this makes various amendments to the Insolvency Rules 1986, SI 1986/1925 (IR 1986) with effect from 6 April 2016. It also replaces IR 1986, Ch 3 which presently deals with debtors' bankruptcy petitions (existing IR 1986, rr 6.37–6.47). It is this new st
