Aaron White ranks first among active Big Ten players in rebounding (774) and is third in scoring (1,569). White ranks first on the team in rebounding (7.1), steals (1.6), and scoring (15.8), and is fourth in assists (1.8) this season. His rebounding and scoring averages rank fourth and eighth, respectively in the Big Ten this year. White is seeking to become the first Hawkeye to lead the team in scoring and rebounding since Greg Brunner in 2006 (14.1 points and 9.2 rebounds per game). White was the only Big Ten player to average 13+ points and 7+ rebounds during league play in 2014. White became the first Hawkeye ever to register 1,300+ points, 650+ rebounds, 100+ steals, and 100+ assists by his junior season. White was the only player in the country to shoot better than 55 percent from the field and 80 percent from the foul line in 2014. He shot 58 percent from the field and 81 percent from the charity stripe. Again, White is the only player in the country to shoot better than 50 percent from the field (51 percent) and 80 percent from the charity stripe (83 percent). White became the fifth player, since 1960, to lead the Hawkeyes in rebounding three consecutive seasons. White joins Don Nelson (1960-62); Kevin Kunnert (1971-73); Bruce King (1975-77); and Greg Brunner (2004-06). He is seeking to become the first player all-time to lead the Hawkeyes in rebounding all four seasons. White became the 41st Hawkeye to surpass 1,000 career points with his 19th point scored with one second remaining at the free throw line versus Notre Dame (Dec. 3). He reached the 1,000-point milestone in his 82nd career game. White currently ranks 10th in Iowa scoring; he is 10 points from surpassing Adam Haluska (1,578) for ninth all-time.
IOWA VS. RANKED TEAMS
The Hawkeyes are 2-3 against ranked opponents this season. Iowa won at No. 12 North Carolina (60-55) and at No. 18 Ohio State (71-65) on Dec. 30. The Hawkeyes fell to No. 10 Texas (71-57) and No. 23 Syracuse (66-63) in New York City, and at home to No. 13 Iowa State (90-75).
FINDING WAYS TO SCORE
Aaron White ranks first in the country by a wide margin in highest percentage of points scored from free throws (minimum 250 total points). The Hawkeye senior has scored 109 of his 268 points (41 percent) from the charity stripe. White went 12-of-15 (.800) from the foul line in Iowa’s win over Nebraska on Jan. 5. His fifth make was his 517th free throw, which surpassed Roy Marble as Iowa’s all-time leader in free throws. He currently ranks eighth in Big Ten annals and is three makes from surpassing Indiana’s Steve Alford (535) for seventh in conference history.
UTHOFF PRODUCING ON THE WING
Jarrod Uthoff ranks second in team scoring (12.1 ppg) and steals (1.2), and first in 3-point shooting (29-of-75, .387). He is the only Division I player to have 25+ 3-pointers, 25+ blocks and 20+ steals. The redshirt junior drained a personal-best four triples in Iowa’s victory over Hampton (Nov. 14) and at No. 18 Ohio State (Dec. 30). He has reached double figures in 12 of Iowa’s first 17 contests, including pouring in a career-high 22 points in Iowa’s last outing at Minnesota on Tuesday. Uthoff has made 23 of his team-leading 29 3-pointers in Iowa’s 11 victories. He is averaging 16.8 points and shooting 50 percent (24-of-48) in Big Ten play, while averaging 10.6 points and shooting 39.8 percent (51-of-128) in nonconference action. In Iowa’s three true road games (North Carolina, Ohio State, and Minnesota) Uthoff is averaging 16 points and 7.7 rebounds. Uthoff tallied eight points and equaled career bests in rebounding (11) and blocked shots (five) in Iowa’s five-point victory at No. 12 North Carolina. He had 18 points, seven rebounds, and a career-high five assists in Iowa’s road win against the Buckeyes, while totaling 22 points, five rebounds, four assists, and four blocks at Minnesota. Uthoff became the first player to amass 22+ points, 5+ rebounds, 4+ assists, and 4+ blocks in a Big Ten contest since Minnesota’s Joel Przybilla versus Iowa on Jan. 12, 2000. The native of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has two double-doubles this season (North Florida and Michigan State). He had 10 points and a person-best 12 boards against North Florida (Dec. 22), and 12 points and a team-best 10 rebounds versus Michigan State (Jan. 8).
Aaron White is one of only two active Division I players (Oklahoma’s TaShawn Thomas) to have 1,500+ points, 750+ rebounds, 150+ assists, and 100+ steals. He is the only Hawkeye ever to post those numbers in the program’s history. Also, his 13 career double-doubles ranks second among active Big Ten players; Michigan State’s Branden Dawson ranks first (15).
Iowa has three true road wins (No. 12 North Carolina; No. 18 Ohio State; Minnesota) by Jan. 13, which is the fastest a Hawkeye team has posted three true road wins since the 1998-99 season (Drake, Dec. 1; Kansas, Dec. 8; Northwestern, Jan. 3). That 1998-99 Iowa team advanced to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen.
Junior Adam Woodbury helped celebrate his 21st birthday on Tuesday scoring nine points and snagging a game-high eight rebounds in Iowa’s win at Minnesota. The Hawkeyes are 2-0 in games played on his birthday (won 70-50 at Northwestern in 2013). Iowa also beat Ohio State (84-74) the night before his 20th birthday a year ago in Columbus.
UTHOFF TABBED BIG TEN PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Junior Jarrod Uthoff was named Big Ten Player of the Week on Jan. 6 by the Big Ten Conference office. The honor is the first of Uthoff’s career. Uthoff (6-9, 210) led Iowa to its first 2-0 start in league play since the 2002-03 season with wins at No. 18 Ohio State (71-65) and vs. Nebraska (70-59). The native of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, shot at a 50 percent clip from the field (11-of-22), including (7-of-14) from 3-point territory, averaging 16.5 points, seven rebounds, 3.5 assists, and one block. Uthoff tallied 18 points, including sinking a 3-pointer and a 17-foot jumper on back-to-back possessions in the final 2:19 of the game, to preserve Iowa’s victory at Ohio State. He also matched career highs in assists (five) and 3-point field goals (four).

SHAMROCK RECIPIENTS: Father William Rooney assisted by Altar-boy William Howe giving Shamrock to schoolchildren at St Patrick’s Church, Wolverhampton, this morning on the occasion of St Patrick’s Day 1949.
The flag of St Patrick adorned the pulpit in St Patrick’s Church, Wolverhampton today as the large congregation attended High Mass in honour of Ireland’s patron saint.
The Rev. Canon M.R. Woulfe (Oldfallings) was celebrant, the Rev J. Griffin (Handsworth) was deacon, and the Rev. P. Kavanagh (Wolverhampton) was sub-deacon.
Girls from St Patrick’s School were present. A choir of girls sang the mass and the service closed with the blessing and distribution of shamrock by the parish priest, the Rev W. Rooney.
In his sermon Father Rooney talked of the worldwide love and devotion of the Irish people to the memory of St Patrick; commenting that most people in his parish were descended from the Irish .
Father Rooney recalled that nearly 100 years ago the Church was built by poor Irish exiles from their country who had brought with them a faith in Jesus Christ. He mentioned also how progress and success in other parishes throughout the country had been influenced by the sacrifice, effort and devotion of the sons of St Patrick.
2010 Celebrates 145 years of the parish of St Patrick in Wolverhampton
St. Patrick’s, Church intended for the growing Irish population of Wolverhampton, built by E.W.Pugin in 1866. This was the former ‘Carribee Island’ area of the town where poor Irish immigrants set down their roots. Around the turn of the nineteenth century Father Darmody, the local priest at St Patrick’s ruled the roost like a one man militia.
Father Darmody would often venture unaccompanied into many public houses frequented by the Irish, such as the Dan O’Connell, the Limerick and the Hibernian; places where the local police feared to go; and calm down many a drunken situation. In this mean neck of the woods between Stafford Street and the canal, there was a total lack of respect for the local authority, but the Catholic priest was treated like royalty.
A view of the inside of the church; where as I remember in the years just after the war, even with its large seating capacity, you would still be lucky to find an empty seat once any one of the three services held there on a Sunday morning had started.
Pictured here is a view of St Patrick’s Church across the open space left by the removing of parts of Westbury and Thornley Streets during the 60s.
On the steps as usual after 11 O’ clock Mass, stands Father William Rooney, having just sold the remainder of his weekly raffle tickets. Now quietly talking to the few remaining parishioners whilst they in turn, wait for either the ‘Warwick’ or ‘Dan O’ Connell’ or any one of the many pubs in the area to open for their Sunday lunch drink.
Father Rooney retired and left for Ireland shortly after the above picture was taken, and passed away in the early 1970s.
Thankfully he didn’t live to see his beloved Church cut down by the advance of the Ring Road. In 1972 St Patrick’s Church was re-built at New Cross, Heath Town.
2010 a celebration of St Patrick at Graisley Lane
This isn’t the glorious statue of St Patrick that I recall from 1949, seen in the earlier picture adorning the inside of the church. This statue was at one time in the old Catholic Girls School in Bagnal Street, and after that school building was demolished it was removed and today features strongly in the playground of the St Patrick’s infants School in Graisley Lane, Wednesfield.
Which incidentally celebrates its 40th birthday, this year.

text: I watched this last night and it's been my first Michael Moore movie I've seen. After taking sociology and political science classes, my eyes have really been open to what the government is all about. Now, I'm not sure how accurate or dramatized this movie was but it really makes you think about our system of capitalism. In sociology you learn that capitalism is all about exploitation and competition. In the news and the movie, people are really starting to revolt which makes me to believe that a change really is coming. Has anyone else seen this movie and think that an economy shift from capitalism to socialism really could happen sooner than you think?

IMG announced today, April 29th, 2010, plans for its first season of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Lincoln Center’s Damrosch Park at a fashion industry briefing supported by The City of New York, Lincoln Center and the Council of Fashion Designers of America. The move to Lincoln Center has allowed IMG Fashion to unveil event upgrades such as modernized production capabilities for designers, digital services concurrent with the advanced needs of the 21st Century, better accessibility for attendees through both public and private transportation and great resources/facilities on-site and in the surrounding areas.
The move to Lincoln Center comes after extensive work between City Hall, Lincoln Center, the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), IMG and the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
“This is a very exciting day for us, said Peter Levy, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of IMG Fashion Worldwide. “The move has allowed IMG to reinvent and improve so many aspects of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week as well as develop a stronger link to the surrounding facilities and spaces available at Lincoln Center and the neighborhood. This is the first season in what we are confident will be a long run‚ at Lincoln Center”.
Said Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, Director of Fashion, Lincoln Center, “We are delighted to provide Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week with a new home and an extraordinary array of possibilities. Over the past few years, Lincoln Center has undergone a transformation, resulting in a campus that is aesthetically spectacular as well as extremely accessible. We look forward to providing the fashion industry with one central location for activities in and around the tents. In addition, we plan to welcome consumers with a dynamic array of opportunities to engage with the art of fashion”.
“The move to Damrosch Park at Lincoln Center is the culmination of a working partnership between the Mayor’s Office, NYCEDC, IMG, Lincoln Center, and the Department of Parks and Recreation, said Patrick M. Murphy, Director of the Fashion/Retail Team at the Center for Economic Transformation at NYCEDC. “The enhancements to the tents, the ability to stage additional presentations, along with access to major transportation routes, and the connection with the Lincoln Center brand will be a terrific boost for the fashion industry, and will have a positive economic impact for the event and the City.”
“The industry support and innovation being utilized to transform Lincoln Center into the new home of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is a testament to New York City‚s premier status among the greatest fashion capitals of the world,” said Stephen Cannon, Vice President of Marketing for Mercedes-Benz USA. “Our commitment to the event‚s success will continue as we officially announce today that Mercedes-Benz is renewing a three year agreement with IMG to remain title sponsor.”
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Lincoln Center, which will be held from September 9 to 16, will implement a number of technical enhancements to adjust with the changing needs of the fashion community. These upgrades include; a gracious lobby to better accommodate designer guests, press and industry professionals; modified runway theaters and modular designer spaces that support advanced production capabilities; expanded lighting and digital design resources; new décor and increased venue/runway sizes and seating enhancements. The event will continue to host three runway venues, and has added a fourth presentation space for designer presentations, industry forums, press conferences and other activities. The venue cost to each designer will remain the same as in previous seasons of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.
IMG Fashion will extend the Tents‚ original mantra to organize, centralize and modernize‚ into the digital realm, launching a new Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Lincoln Center website and suite of digital services that provide expanded capabilities for designers, press and attendees. These improvements include a new designer centric website and updated registration and credentialing system synchronized with designer seating. The digitization of the event will further streamline the communication between the different constituencies, providing up to the minute resources for press registration, press contact details for designers, online RSVP and show check-in capabilities.
Lincoln Center allows a unique opportunity in the evolution of the event, offering expanded resources and facilities around campus for the use of designer, press, industry and consumer activities. Inside the Tents, the site will feature increase lounge style seating in the event lobby and an outdoor garden for events and presentations as well as a number of restaurants, cafes and sitting areas around the Lincoln Center campus. Lincoln Center also provides attendees with convenient transportation and access to the event via the MTA’s subway systems, buses, the West Side Highway and light traffic flow on 9th Avenue (Columbus) and 10th Avenue (Amsterdam) making the hectic week of shows as effortless as possible for all attendees.
The City, working with IMG Fashion and Lincoln Center, has embarked on a coordinated effort to ensure Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week takes place in an efficient and organized manner. Led by the Citywide Event Coordination and Management Office, City agencies including the Transportation, Police, Fire, Buildings, Parks and Recreation and Sanitation Departments together with the Mayor‚s Community Assistance Unit, and New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) are coordinating issues related to pedestrian access, ancillary parking, community resources, traffic flow, and opportunities for local businesses.
Each year, the 232,000 attendees at Fashion Weeks generate new economic activity for New York City businesses, accounting for more than $466 million in direct visitor spending and contributing to $1.6 billion in annual tax revenue to the City’s fashion industry. For the businesses surrounding Lincoln Center specifically the restaurants, hotels, and retailers as well as the thousands of caterers, security, and service workers staffing the shows, relocating Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week will result in economic benefits. More than $40 million annually is spent on meals at local restaurants; nearly $30 million on taxis, Town Cars, and public transportation; and an additional $56 million at area hotels.

VenkateswaranGanesan · @_Drunkenmunk
6th Feb 2014 from TwitLonger@icarusprakash @nom_d_plum @sagittarian82 @balakarthik78 IR on Masters and Masters on him.
IR speaks highly about Master Dhanraj (MD) and says only MD can understand his own research. MD researched the musical aspects of Silappadhigaaram and would swear that Kovalan sang this song in this chapter in this raaga and had researched stuff to prove himself. IR says MD made him teach the students when IR was quite new to Dhanraj's class and IR learnt from what he taught students. Normally MD takes classes 1 hr classes 2 days a week for one student. idhu maari neraya students in different stages of music (theory, instrumentation practicals) come to him to face exams, become better musicians all the week. IR asked if he could come everyday. MD agreed and taught IR for free and IR says MD brought Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, Tchaikovsky every day to the room. Very early in his tutelage, MD asks him to play on the piano and gives him training to differentiate a piano from a harmonium. IR plays an MSV song before scores of students. MD is impressed with the composition and says (I quote from the book here): "See the first phrase! - This is a Question. See the answer! Yes second phrase. It is perfect form of music" என்று theoretical ஆக விளக்கினார். The song is Enna Enna VaarthaigaLO from Vennira Aadai. IR says his respect for MSV went up several notches.
But otherwise, MD was very critical on film composers and would abuse them to heart's content. MSV, KVM, GK Venkatesh, no one escaped his anger. IR says he fell for it briefly but as he was assisting GKV, he got a chance to play for MSV one day and seeing MSV teach every instrumentalist (IR played combo organ for Malar enna en kangal dhaan from Sridhar's Avalukkendru Oru Manam) the notes for their portion and saw that he taught every musician by playing the music from his mouth in 45 minutes. His respect for MSV went up several notches there and he says he felt ashamed that he rated him low with MD's words. MD has the right for he understands Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and compares the film musicians with them and abuses them. But what right do I have, wonders Raaja, who from then on started to revere MSV, who was already a favorite of his. MD also despised IR for entering films and when IR missed a class due to a recording with GKV, MD abused him and refused to teach him for his exam in Trinity College of Music, London, which held its exams in Chennai. IR's self pride hurt after a point of abuse, challenged MD that he'd score 85% (honors) and will only then meet MD. He taught himself to play the instruments and was ready. Theory was a problem since IR hardly knew any English then. Yet, he says the music taught through English made itself clear and he somehow educated himself. And he scored 85%, went with that certificate to MD who eventually exclaimed, "Raaja, you are really great da!"
IR's anecdotes on Naushad, John and Laszlo Kovach are impressive too. Will quote their praises from IR's pen and say what IR thinks of self praise.
IR says he likes CR Subburaman and MSV the most among all old Tamil composers though he respects all. He learns CRS's composition style is based on Naushad's and that increases his respect for Naushad. But also adds CRS did not lose his individuality. Says Naushad, Khmechandra Prakash and Hanslal Bhagatram (under whom Naushad played piano) were the trio that laid the foundations of IFM. Also rates C Ramachandra (SD Burman's mentor, composer of Aye Mere Watan Ke which is unfortunately known as a Lata Mangeshkar song today), Madan Mohan, Roshan, Shankar Jaikishen, OP Nayyar, SDB, Vasant Desai and RDB very highly and each has their own signatures according to IR, something that is missing today, he feels. Goes on to his interactions with Naushad and him sharing his How To Name It with Naushad and inviting him to preside over the launch of Nothing But Wind. Naushad speaks, MSV, Hariprasad Chaurasia, Uttam Singh are on stage. PB Srinivas translates Naushad's Hindi into Tamil for the audience. At one stage, PBS stops, shocked and refuses to translate what Naushad says since he cannot accept Naushad's words. On to Raaja now:
நௌஷாத் அவர்களோ PB ஸ்ரீனிவாஸ் அவர்களை விடவில்லை!
This is my true feeling!
You are a translator!
Please do your duty - என்றார்.
PBS மிகவும் தயக்கத்துடன் இழுத்துப்பேச ஆரம்பித்தார்.
விஷயம் இது தான்:
"இளையராஜாவிடம் நெறைய விஷயங்கள் இருக்கின்றன. எனக்கு உடல் நிலை சரியாக இருந்து, நேரமும் இருக்குமானால், இந்த இளைஞனிடம் உட்கார்ந்து கற்று கொள்வதற்கு நான் தயங்க மாட்டேன்." என்றார்.
மற்றவர்கள் என்ன நினைக்கிறார்களோ அறியேன்! இசையென்றால் என்னவென்று அறியாத இந்த பட்டிக்காட்டானிடம், இசை கற்றுக் கொள்ளலாம் என்று கூறிய என் முன்னோடிகளில் முக்கியமானவரான திரு. நௌஷாத் அவர்களின் பாராட்டுக்கள் என்னை மேலும் உற்சாகத்தில் ஆழ்த்துவதற்கு பதிலாக சிறிய புழுவாக்கி விட்டது!
Speaks highly of Naushad, C Ramachandra in other chapters too. He then goes on to talk in detail about Hey Ram which was the first time he went to Budapest to record (Guru la he brought a few Budapest Symphony orchestra people to Chennai to record). He thanks Kamal for arranging it and says it was entirely Kamal's endeavor. Speaks about L Subrahmanyam-Kamal's difference and him doing the film. All this we know. But Kamal and Sarika wanted to share this composition with LS and IR's over the film as a video with the public but IR refuses. He doesn't mind him being praised but doesn't want people to think low of L Subramaniam. Adds he suggested Isaiyil Thodangudhamma as that was not in the screenplay before and Kamal agreed saying the song was hidden in the screenplay and it was the screenplay's magic there that brought this song from IR. Chandrahassan weeps listening to it.
Fast forward to Laszlo Kovach. He calls Laszlo to Chennai to read the symphony score for Hey Ram's BGM and to suggest any possible corrections and Laszlo comes with his wife, Monika. Laszlo reads the score, says it's very good and suggests some very minor corrections which IR changes and writes right there. IR takes Laszlo, tells him the film's tale (LS to IR) and plays LS's version of Nee Paartha Paarvaikki. Laszlo enjoys it and immensely appreciates LS. IR then plays his version over the video. Laszlo goes silent. And leaves. On to IR: "You didn't tell me anything about my song? It is not good? I want to know your true opinion about my composition. Even if you don't like it!" என்று எனக்குத் தெரிந்த ஆங்கிலத்தில் கேட்டேன்.
நடந்துக்கொண்டிருந்த அவர் நின்றுவிட்டார். சிறிது யோசித்து (அவருடைய ஆங்கிலத்தில் அப்படியே எழுதுகிறேன்)
No it's not like that. சிறிய இடைவெளி. பின் தொடர்ந்தார்,
Anyone can write music for the same situation, and even I can also write!
But not this music!... Not this!!!
I have travelled all over the world, and I have studied, and conducted the great Master's compositions in various concerts. I could find through your music, that "you have not struggled for ideas... The Music is coming to you and it flows without effort." I am sure you are a "very special composer" in the Music world - that is all I can say - என்றார்.
IR adds these people know their music and do not appreciate a composer to satisfy him. If they don't like it, they would say it's ok... and then drag with words like but and so on. So he considers it special praise.
As they were recording Hey Ram in Budapest, he says Laszlo can imagine the overall music with every instrument sound in his head by reading the score on paper. IR writes a score where there is a lengthy pause on a single note for a sustained duration to create a certain impact in the viewer's mind. But for the musicians playing, they'd get bored. IR hence writes it as chords (musicians will play different notes but the overall sound of the music THEY ALL PLAY will sound like a single continuous note). Laszlo says, "It is a good style of writing." IR: "But I am not formally trained to write." Laszlo: "That is the real greatness." The musicians while playing looked at each other in amazement because they were able to realize immediately that though were playing different notes, the FINAL sound was one continuous note. IR then asks Monika her account. Monika says Laszlo did not let her sleep the night they met IR and was raving about IR all night and he has done that to anyone else.
IR then speaks about the BGM score of Lajja. He again goes to Budapest to record it with the symphony. In Chennai, same formality with Laszlo. Superlatives from Laszlo and at the title score, he feels it will be fun playing it with the orchestra. IR then writes another melody. Over to IR:
Laszlo: 'This is something wonderful! - more personal and emotional unfulfilled longing is there.'
அந்த melody-ஐ வாங்கி, முதலில் எழுதிய Title Musicஐ cancel செய்து விட்டு (90 பேருக்கு எழுதிய orchestra அது). மறுபடியும் புதிய melodyக்கு அரை மணி நேரத்தில் எழுதி கொடுத்துவிட்டேன். ஆச்சர்யப்பட்டு போனார்.
Fast forward to Budapest. Symphony orchestra plays the film's full score, are very appreciative and finally come to the title score. As they finish playing, they are amazed at the depth of the score for mere arial shots of New York night's skyline. The orchestra then applaud and present him with a book titled 'Opera' as a token of their appreciation. Raaja's words:
அவர்களுக்கு நன்றி சொல்லி நான் பேசும்பொழுது, நீங்கள் வாசித்த அத்தனை இசையும் பத்தே நாட்களில் எழுதப்பட்டது என்றேன். அனைவரும் 90 விதமான உணர்வுகளை வெளிப்படுத்தினார்கள். ஒரு பெண் தன் வயலினைக் கீழே விட்டுவிட்டாள். இன்னொரு Lady, Oh! My God... என்று கத்தினார். இன்னுமொருவர் This is not humanly possible என்று கைகளை ஆட்டினார். பலர் வாதியங்களாலே கை தட்டினார்கள்.
Laszlo: yes it's true! I was personally there. He is a very fast and qualified composer.
But I am an illiterate... உங்களைப்போல் நான் எந்த இசை பயிற்சியும் இல்லாதவன், ஒரு பட்டிக்காட்டான் என்றேன்.
இன்னும் ஆச்சர்யத்தின் உச்சிக்கே சென்றுவிட்டார்கள்.
Laszlo, privately later: Raaja, what we recorded in these 5 days. It is really Hollywood standard of Music. But it's too much for your Bollywood என்றார்.
இதைப்போல் தன்னைப் பற்றி தானே பீத்திக் கொள்வதைத் தடுப்பதற்காகத்தான் பத்திரிகைப் பேட்டி, TV interviewக்களை தவிர்த்து வந்தேன் (wrote this in 2001, hence very true for that time).
நமது பழந்தமிழ் நூல்களில் கூரப்பட்ட ஒருசெய்தி நினைவுக்கு வந்தது. இறைவன் தன்னைப் பற்றி தன் அடியார்களுக்கு அவனே தெரிவிக்கவில்லை என்றால் அடியார்களுக்கு அவனை பற்றி அறிய வாய்ப்பே இல்லாது போய்விடும்; அதனால் இறைவன் தன் அருமை பெருமைகளை தானே சொல்வதுப்போல், கல்வியில் புலமைமிக்கவர், கல்வி அறிவில்லாதவர்கள் மத்தியில், தங்கள் கல்வி புலமையை தாங்களே அறிவிப்பதில் தவறே இல்லை. அப்பிடி அறிவிக்காவிட்டால் ஒன்றும் அறியாதவர்களுக்கு கல்வியின் அருமைகள் எப்படித் தெரியும்? என்று குறிப்பிட்டு உ.வே.சா. ஐயர் எழுதியதை நான் படிக்க நேர்ந்ததால், நானும் என்னைப் பற்றி சொல்லிவிட்டால், உங்களுக்கும் உலகிற்கும் தெரியாது போய் விடுமே என்ற காரணத்தால் மேற்கண்ட செய்தி குப்பைகளை உங்கள் மேல் கொட்ட வேண்டியதாயிற்று.
பிழை இருப்பின் மன்னிக்க!

Negotiations had come to an abrupt standstill Friday morning when McCarthy said it was time to “pause” talks.
WASHINGTON — Debt limit negotiations between the White House and House Republicans hung over the weekend with tough talk but little action, as President Joe Biden and world leaders kept watch from afar hoping high-stakes discussions would make progress on avoiding a potentially catastrophic federal default.
The Biden administration and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., are racing for a budget deal that would pave the way to increase the nation’s debt limit.

The day began for us in a fine drizzle drenching all of us as we quickly struggled to paste new banners on a new bus. The earlier day, as we moved our saamaan from a vehicle from Bangalore to the new bus, there were so many people to help out in the parking grounds of the new travels’ people that we hired the bus from in Hyderabad. The crew of the bus turned out to be extremely helpful too. Many additional requests (for an extra stepni, for their UPS to be checked for its capacity to charge laptops, for a mechanic to be brought in from outside to check out the engine, clutch etc.) were met with promptness and happy visages. Yes, a smile was something we had forgotten for a long time, on anything related to the Yatra bus. The previous crew never had that attribute nor could we think of smiling because of what we underwent.
After having to break up into smaller groups because of the need to replace the earlier bus, we all re-met again today and even had our breakfast inside the new bus under the same roof!
Today, a unique event was planned by the organizers in Andhra Pradesh – a coup of sorts – a debate on the Future of Farming where all major political parties in AP were represented in the debate where three sharp questions were posed to these representatives to hear their views. This was also broadcast live on a popular TV channel called HMTV.
The three aspects on which the parties were asked to respond include:
1. How do you look at income security for all farmers (in the medium and long term too)?
2. How do you look at ensuring environmental sustainability given that various productive resources are getting degraded and/or contaminated?
3. How do you look at issues related to control over productive resources like land, seed etc., and the need for this to be in the hands of farmers?
Senior political leaders and farmers’ leaders like Mr Raghuveera Reddy, Agriculture Minister; Mr Vadde Sobhanadreeswara Rao, former Agriculture Minister; Mr Hareeshwar Reddy, TDP; Mr Eetela Rajendar, TRS; Mr Malla Reddy, State Vice President, BJP; Mr Kodand Reddy, Congress Kisan Cell; Mr Jaiprakash Narayan, Lok Satta; Mr Kolli Nageswar Rao, AP Rythu Sangam (CPI); Dr A Prasada Rao, AP Rythu Sangam (CPI-M); Mr Prabhakar Reddy, Federation of Farmers’ Association; Mr Y Nagendranath, AP Rythanga Samakhya etc., spoke.
Not all speakers chose to respond to these questions pointedly and many brought up a diverse set of issues which are all pertinent in the context of addressing farmers’ distress. A few even used the platform to do some government-bashing.
There was a unanimous view that farmers need to be supported adequately to stay and have dignified lives in farming, that the agricultural distress that they are reeling under has to be comprehensively and urgently addressed and that the crisis has been created by anti-farmer policies.
All the leaders including the Minister for Agriculture welcomed the Kisan Swaraj Yatra heartily and congratulated the organisers of the Yatra for highlighting the issues of farmers in a visible manner yet again. There was concern expressed on degradation of land quality and fertility and there were also views expressed on the fact that pricing of agricultural produce being fixed low to support consumers is a wrong policy whereas the government should think of supporting both farmers and consumers and not one at the expense of the other.
There was a strong consensus on the issue of better pricing support for all farmers and particularly paddy farmers in this region, in a manner that is scientific, which covers not just the cost of cultivation but provides a dignified standard of living for all farmers. Several organisations vowed to continue with the fight to secure better pricing support for farmers in the state. There was also strong concern expressed by many farmers and farmer leaders that the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers has led to loss of soil fertility, water pollution, reducing yields, and increasing health crisis.
A unique feature of the Yatra in AP is that a wide variety of organizations have taken active part in organizing the meetings and taking ownership of the Yatra’s mission of bringing farmers’ issues to the fore. One of the aims of the Yatra is to bring all groups and individuals with concern about agriculture issues on the same platform. The groups involved in organizing various events include independent farmer organizations such as AP Raitanga Samakhya and Federation of Farmers’ Associations, farmer unions of political parties, agricultural worker unions such as APVVU, organic farmers’ associations, tribal groups like Adivasi Aikya Vedika, citizens groups such as Jana Vigyana Vedika, Human Rights Forum, Telangana Vidyavantula Vedika, non-governmental organizations such as Centre for Sustainable Agriculture, AID-India, Anthra, Caring Citizens Collective, Chetana Organic, RDT, etc, and prominent individuals such as former Agriculture Minister Sri. Vadde Sobhanadreeswara Rao and Prof. K.R.Chowdry.

Frangipane is a filling made from or flavoured like almonds. This filling can be used in a variety of ways including cakes, tarts and other assorted pastries. It is normally made of butter, sugar, eggs and ground almonds.
I like anything with almonds in it and you can add fresh fruits, can fruits or jam and it is good to go.
This particular sweet tart dough is a little sweet, very crispy and has also ground almond in it. It is a little different from ordinary sweet tart dough and worth making a batch to keep in the freezer and take it out whenever you need it. The filling is enough for 6 to 7 individual tarts and the tart dough needs pre baking but do not need to weigh it down with baking beans if you poke enough holes in them.
This recipe is adapted from Jamie Oliver 30 minute meals and Pierre Herme's Desserts.
Frangipane Tart with Blueberries Recipe
Ingredients for Sweet Tart Dough (enough to line two 9 inch tarts or 12 individual tarts)
285g butter (softened)
188g icing sugar
50g ground almond
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
500g plain flour (sifted)
For making the sweet tart dough, put the softened butter in a mixer bowl, put on the paddle and mix till light and fluffy.
Add icing sugar, almonds, salt, vanilla extract and eggs and mix on low speed. Blend well after scraping the sides.
Add the sifted flour in a few additions, do not add all at once.
Switch off the machine as soon as dough comes together. Do not over mix.
Divide the dough into two or three portions. Roll each portion into a ball and wrap with food plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours preferably. You can store the rest in the freezer if you are not using it. This can be stored for up to a month.
Heat the oven to 180 C, when you are ready to make the tart, cut out a freezer bag or a big clean plastic bag, and put the dough in between to roll out. Cut according to size of the tray.
Press gently onto the tray and poke holes all over with a fork so that it allows air to go around when baking.
For a big tart, put beans on alluminium foil before baking at 180 C for 18 to 20 minutes, remove the beans and bake for another 5 minutes till golden brown.
For individual small tart shells, we do not need to use beans for weighing them down.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 180 C till golden brown for the small tarts.
Cool the tart shells on a rack and prepare the filling.
Ingredients for the Filling:
1/2 punnet to 1 punnet of fresh blueberries
100g butter (softened)
100g ground almond
Zest of 1 orange
1 tsp of vanilla extract
Heat the oven to 180 C.
Put butter, almond, sugar, zest, vanilla extract and the egg into a mixing bowl. Use a silicon spatula and mix the ingredients together to a paste. It is that simple.
Fill the individual tart shell first with a big spoonful of filling, put about 10 of the blueberries in them, then top the tart with the another spoonful or two of the filling. You do not need to smoothen the filling as it will spread out on its own during baking.
For a big tart, put in half of the filling into the tart shell, spread the blueberries onto the filling and add in the remaining filling.
Bake at 180 C oven till golden brown, around 30 minutes. Checking after 20 minutes of baking.
Cool the tarts on wire racks. Remove tart from metal tart trays and serve warm. You can serve them with Vanilla ice cream if desired.

Gathering Relevant Evidence
Collecting relevant evidence is one of the most critical steps in building a solid defense case. This may include physical evidence, witness statements, expert testimony, and any other information that can support your innocence or mitigate the charges. Your criminal defense attorney will work diligently to ensure all pertinent evidence is gathered and preserved.
Challenging the Prosecution’s Case
Your attorney will scrutinize the prosecution’s case, looking for weaknesses, inconsistencies, or any violations of your constitutional rights. This may involve challenging the legality of search and seizure procedures, questioning the credibility of witnesses, or exposing flaws in the evidence presented.
Developing a Comprehensive Legal Strategy
Based on the specifics of your case, your attorney will develop a comprehensive legal strategy. This may involve negotiating a plea bargain, filing pre-trial motions, or preparing for trial. Your attorney will carefully evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your case to determine the most effective approach.
Utilizing Expert Witnesses
In some cases, expert witnesses can play a crucial role in your defense. Depending on the nature of your case, your attorney may enlist the help of forensic experts, medical professionals, or other specialists to provide testimony or analysis that supports your defense.
Considering Alternative Sentencing Options
If a conviction is unavoidable, your attorney may explore alternative sentencing options. These may include community service, probation, or participation in rehabilitation programs. The goal is to minimize the impact of a conviction on your life and future prospects.
Protecting Your Rights
Throughout the legal process, your attorney will ensure that your constitutional rights are protected.

Understanding the Legal System and Court Proceedings
Navigating the Complexities: Understanding the Legal System and Court Proceedings
The legal system is a complex and intricate web of laws, procedures, and institutions designed to uphold justice and protect the rights of individuals. Whether you find yourself involved in a civil dispute or facing criminal charges, understanding the legal system and court proceedings is crucial for navigating this intricate landscape.
The Structure of the Legal System
The legal system is typically divided into two main branches: civil law and criminal law. Civil law governs disputes between individuals or entities, such as contract disputes, personal injury cases, and family matters. Criminal law, on the other hand, deals with offenses against society, including crimes like theft, assault, and murder.
Within each branch, there are various levels of courts, ranging from local courts that handle minor cases to state and federal courts that handle more complex and high-profile matters. The court system is hierarchical, with lower courts bound by the decisions of higher courts.
Key Players in the Legal System
Several key players are involved in the legal system, each with distinct roles and responsibilities:
- Judges: Impartial arbiters who preside over court proceedings, interpret and apply the law, and ensure fairness and due process.
- Attorneys: Legal professionals who represent clients, provide legal advice, and advocate for their clients’ interests in court.
- Prosecutors: Government attorneys responsible for bringing criminal charges against individuals or entities accused of committing crimes.
- Juries: Groups of citizens selected to listen to evidence and testimony and determine the facts of a case in certain types of trials.
Court Proceedings: A Step-by-Step Guide
Court proceedings can vary depending on the type of case and jurisdiction, but they typically follow a general process:
- Filing and Pleadings: The legal process begins with one party filing a complaint or petition with the appropriate court, outlining the nature of the dispute or charges. The opposing party then has the opportunity to respond with their defense or counterclaim.
- Discovery: During this phase, both parties exchange relevant information, documents, and evidence to prepare for trial.
- Pre-trial Motions and Hearings: Before the trial begins, various pre-trial motions and hearings may be held to address procedural issues, evidentiary disputes, and other matters.
- Trial: The trial is the culmination of the legal process, where evidence is presented, witnesses are examined, and arguments are made before a judge or jury.
- Verdict and Judgment: After considering the evidence and testimony, the judge or jury renders a verdict, which determines the outcome of the case. The judge then issues a judgment based on the verdict.
- Appeals: In certain cases, either party may have the right to appeal the judgment to a higher court if they believe there were legal errors or procedural deficiencies during the trial.
The Importance of Legal Representation
Navigating the legal system can be challenging, especially for individuals without legal training or experience. This is where the role of attorneys becomes paramount. Skilled legal representation can help ensure that your rights are protected, that you understand the legal processes and procedures, and that you have the best possible chance of achieving a favorable outcome.
Whether you are embroiled in a civil dispute or facing criminal charges, seeking the guidance and representation of a reputable and experienced attorney is often a wise decision.
Promoting Access to Justice
While the legal system aims to uphold justice and protect the rights of individuals, there are challenges and barriers that can limit access to justice for some members of society. These may include financial constraints, language barriers, or lack of legal awareness.
To address these issues, various initiatives and programs have been established to promote access to justice, such as legal aid services, pro bono representation, and community legal education programs. By ensuring that everyone has equal access to the legal system, regardless of their circumstances, we can work towards a more just and equitable society.
Understanding the legal system and court proceedings is essential for anyone involved in the legal process, whether as a plaintiff, defendant, or interested party. By familiarizing yourself with the key players, processes, and procedures, you can better navigate this complex landscape and protect your rights and interests.
Importance of Hiring an Experienced Criminal Defense Lawyer
Navigating the Legal System: The Importance of Hiring an Experienced Criminal Defense Attorney
Facing criminal charges can be an overwhelming and daunting experience. The legal system is complex, and the consequences of a conviction can be severe, ranging from hefty fines to potential imprisonment. In such situations, having an experienced criminal defense lawyer by your side can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.
Expertise and Knowledge of the Law
An experienced criminal defense attorney possesses a deep understanding of the intricate legal system and the specific laws that govern criminal cases. They have spent years studying and practicing in this field, staying up-to-date with the latest legal developments, precedents, and court rulings. This extensive knowledge allows them to provide valuable insights and develop effective defense strategies tailored to your unique circumstances.
Investigative Skills and Resource Access
Skilled criminal defense lawyers have access to a wide range of resources and investigative tools that can be crucial in building a strong defense. They can hire private investigators, forensic experts, and other professionals to gather evidence, analyze crime scenes, and uncover potential weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. This comprehensive approach can often uncover overlooked details or new perspectives that could potentially exonerate you or mitigate the charges against you.
Negotiation Prowess and Courtroom Experience
An experienced criminal defense attorney has honed their negotiation skills through years of practice, allowing them to effectively negotiate with prosecutors and judges. They understand the nuances of plea bargaining and can leverage their expertise to secure the best possible outcome for your case, whether through negotiated plea agreements or outright dismissal of charges.
In the event that your case proceeds to trial, an experienced criminal defense lawyer will be a formidable advocate in the courtroom. They will have a deep understanding of courtroom procedures, rules of evidence, and effective cross-examination techniques, enabling them to present your case in the most compelling manner possible.
Protecting Your Constitutional Rights
The criminal justice system is designed to safeguard the rights of the accused, but navigating these protections can be complex. An experienced criminal defense lawyer will ensure that your constitutional rights are upheld throughout the legal process, from arrest to trial. They will vigilantly monitor for any violations of your rights and take appropriate actions to protect your interests.
Emotional Support and Guidance
Facing criminal charges can be an emotionally draining experience, filled with uncertainty and anxiety. An experienced criminal defense attorney will not only provide legal representation but also offer emotional support and guidance. They will explain the legal process, manage your expectations, and help you make informed decisions throughout the course of your case.
While the decision to hire a criminal defense lawyer may seem daunting, the potential consequences of navigating the legal system without experienced representation can be severe. By securing the services of a skilled and knowledgeable attorney, you increase your chances of achieving a favorable outcome and protecting your rights, freedom, and future.
Rights and Protections for the Accused
Rights and Protections for the Accused: A Comprehensive Overview
When an individual is accused of a crime, it is crucial to understand their rights and the legal protections afforded to them. The criminal justice system is designed to uphold the principles of due process, ensuring that every accused person receives a fair trial and is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
The Right to Counsel
One of the fundamental rights granted to the accused is the right to legal representation. The Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees the right to counsel, meaning that every defendant has the right to be represented by an attorney, regardless of their financial situation. If the accused cannot afford to hire a private attorney, the court will appoint a public defender or a court-appointed lawyer to represent them.
The Right Against Self-Incrimination
The Fifth Amendment of the Constitution protects the accused from being compelled to testify against themselves or provide self-incriminating evidence. This right, often referred to as the “right to remain silent,” ensures that the burden of proof lies solely on the prosecution, and the accused is not required to assist in building a case against themselves.
The Right to Due Process
The Due Process Clause of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments guarantees that the accused will receive a fair trial and be treated according to established legal procedures. This includes the right to be informed of the charges against them, the right to cross-examine witnesses, and the right to present evidence in their defense.
The Right to a Speedy Trial
The Sixth Amendment also provides the accused with the right to a speedy trial. This ensures that the accused is not subjected to excessive delays, which could result in the loss of evidence, memories fading, or witnesses becoming unavailable. The right to a speedy trial helps protect the accused’s ability to mount an effective defense.
Presumption of Innocence
One of the most fundamental principles of the criminal justice system is the presumption of innocence. This means that the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The burden of proof lies entirely with the prosecution, and the accused does not have to prove their innocence; the prosecution must prove their guilt.
Protection Against Unreasonable Searches and Seizures
The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution protects the accused from unreasonable searches and seizures by law enforcement. This amendment requires that searches and seizures be conducted with a valid warrant based on probable cause, except in specific circumstances where exceptions apply.
The Right to Appeal
If an individual is convicted of a crime, they have the right to appeal the decision to a higher court. This process allows for a review of the trial proceedings to ensure that no legal errors were made and that the defendant’s rights were not violated. The right to appeal provides an additional layer of protection against wrongful convictions.
These rights and protections are essential pillars of the criminal justice system, designed to uphold the principles of fairness, due process, and the presumption of innocence. By understanding and exercising these rights, the accused can ensure that their legal rights are protected throughout the criminal proceedings.
