Here is some great art

We more bowling shots performance like Jadejas

Sachin Tendulkar came to the party and Barabati had a ball. Till Dinesh Karthik spoilt the mood of the capacity crowd a wee bit with some unwanted heroics right at the end to deny the maestro a shot at his 46th ODI century. 
    Not used to getting overshadowed match after match, as the Dilshans and Sehwags have dared to do in recent times, the Little Master carved out a classic unbeaten 96 (104 balls, 13x4), but was left left high and dry tantalisingly close to his 89th international hundred as Karthik hit a six and four to close the gap and there weren’t enough runs to get to the target and the milestone. 
    In the end, India galloped to 242 for 3 in 42.4 overs after Ravindra Jadeja’s career-best spell (4 for 32 off 10 overs) had defused the threatening Lankan charge to stop them at a meagre 239 in 44.2 overs. 
    A target of 240 was not going to test India unless they suffered a Sri Lanka-like collapse. Virender Sehwag ensured a rollicking launch (44 off 28 balls, 9x4), quickly bringing down the asking rate to 4 and a half, and then Sachin took over. 
    He was in no rush and eschewed risk by playing straight in the early phase. Among his bouquet of boundaries were three sublime cover drives. As the spinners came on, he gave Ajantha Mendis and Suraj Randiv the treatment —- the paddle sweep, the flicks and the drives flowed sweetly off his bat. There was a typically cheeky four over the keeper’s head as well, off Nuwan Kulasekara. 
    Gautam Gambhir (32) and Yuvraj Singh (23) missed out, but it didn’t matter as Sachin had decided to take matters in his hand. 
    The Lankan innings, after Sangakkara opted to set a target for a change, threw up two starkly contrasting phases. A whirlwind start, courtesy Dilshan, saw them raising 50 in 3.4 overs —- the fastest by any side against India. Despite the mind-boggling pace being slowed down after the departure of Dilshan, the Lankans still maintained an impressive run-rate to reach 165 for one in the 23rd over. 
    Then came the nosedive, which saw them losing nine wickets for 74 in 21 overs. The top-3 contributed 160, while the next 8 could muster just 79! 
    There was turn for the spinners, but it was hardly a wicket to justify such a stunning collapse. The skipper triggered it, with a moment of indiscretion. Having batted with characteristic fluency and grace to race to 46, Kumar Sangakkara (46 off 41 balls, 3x4, 1x6) charged Virender Sehwag, got outfoxed by his opposite number who held the ball back a bit, to be stumped by Dinesh Karthik albeit at the second attempt. 
    Having settled down to play the anchor’s role, Tharanga (73 off 81 balls, 6x4, 1x6) perished almost against the run of play, done in by Jadeja’s arm ball. That was the beginning of a dream spell by the Saurashtra left-arm spinner. 
    Mahela Jayawardene, short of runs since his epic double hundred in the first Test, did not do justice to his talent on this day either. He pottered around for two off 12 balls before pulling a long hop from Harbhajan Singh into Suresh Raina’s lap at midwicket. 
    Having opened up the fragile and inexperienced Lankan middle-order, the Indians went for the kill.

Realty going the wrong way for long term

 In the city’s largest land transaction of 2009, the Mumbai-based Wadhwa Group is believed to have recently concluded negotiations to buy the 18-acre Hindustan Composites land in Ghatkopar for Rs 570 crore. Given the current circumstances, when the property market is just about finding its feet following a slump, the price is considered to be substantial. 
    The prime land is located on LBS Marg in Ghatkopar and has seen a slew of prospective buyers over the past several years. In 2008, the Suresh Raheja-led K Raheja Universal was believed to have virtually bought this land for over Rs 700 crore. However, when the property market tanked, the deal did not go through. 
    The plot is one of the last such sprawling defunct factory properties in the eastern suburbs; most of them have been sold since 2005. Vijay Wadhwa of the Wadhwa Group refused to comment but market insiders confirmed that the developer and the factory management would announce the transaction in the next two weeks. Wadhwa is expected to raise about Rs 400 crore from financial institutions for the land acquisition. 
REALTY RISES IN THE EAST 
The 18-acre prime property is located on LBS Marg in Ghatkopar. It is one of the last remaining mill lands in the eastern suburbs and has a development potential of 15 lakh square feet 
Many developers wanted to buy the land since it went on the block in 2006 
Developer likely to construct at least 15 residential buildings with over 1,100 apartments 
OTHER BIG-TICKET BUYS RIL bought 18 acres in BKC for Rs 1,104 crore in 2006 
Wadhwa Group bought less than 2 acres in BKC for Rs 831 crore in 2007 
Sajjan Jindal group acquired 2.5 acres of Orbit Corporation’s property in Kalina for Rs 807 crore in 2007 
DLF bought NTC’s 17-acre Mumbai Textiles mill for Rs 702 crore in 2005LBS plot has huge potential for devpt 
Mumbai: Property market experts said the Wadhwa Group had chalked out a plan to set up at least 15 residential buildings with over 1,100 apartments on the sprawling 18-acre land in Ghatkopar. The property has a development potential of about 15 lakh square feet. This potential could shoot up substantially if Wadhwa takes advantage of the government’s parking FSI of 4. 
    Many in the industry felt that the Wadhwa Group, known to be one of the more aggressive real estate groups, had overstretched itself when it quoted an astronomical Rs 831 crore for a less-than-two-acre plot in the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) in November 2007. It was a national record for the purchase of commercial land. His bid worked out to Rs 5.04 lakh for every square metre or almost two and a half times the reserve price of Rs 1.53 lakh set up by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority(MMRDA). 
    Soon after, the property market stagnated and there was a feeling that Wadhwa had burnt his fingers by paying such a huge price for this plot. But MMRDA came to the rescue when it increased the FSI in BKC, thus increasing the development potential on Wadhwa’s plot. 
    LBS Marg in the eastern suburbs from Ghatkopar to Mulund was once known as an industrial belt. Today, it has become a hotbed for real estate activity, with many closed factories being converted into residential and commercial zones. Some of these are the Glaxo-owned Burroughs Wellcome, Bombay Oxygen and Schrader Duncan plots in Mulund, GKW and API Industries’ land in Bhandup and the Mukand Ltd plot in Kurla. 
    The Hindustan Composites land transaction comes barely months after the Lodha Group offered to pay Rs 710 crore for the National Textiles Corporation’s (NTC) 10.4-acre Finlay Mills plot in Parel. However, NTC rejected the offer without offering sufficient reasons, and Lodha had to approach the Supreme Court to prevent NTC from selling the land to a third party.

Hirani.

Slated to release Christmas this year, 3 Idiots, sees Aamir Khan, Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Kareena Kapoor and Boman Irani in pivotal roles.

3 Idiots is a story of two friends [Madhavan and Sharman Joshi], who embark on a quest for a lost buddy. On this journey, they encounter a long forgotten bet, a wedding they must crash, and a funeral that goes impossibly out of control. It’s a story of their hostel days that swings between Rancho’s romance with the spirited Pia [Kareena Kapoor], and his clash with an oppressive mentor, Viru Sahastrabudhhe [Boman Irani].

3 Idiots is a comedy of ideas that is as provocative as it is funny, as wildly entertaining as it is insightful. A laugh-riot that talks about the most important of human pursuits: self-actualization.

Money rules the world

DESPITE the gloomy talk that preceded the UN climate conference, the opening was upbeat. Most big countries had vowed to cut or limit emissions during the previous few weeks. As delegates arrived, America’s Environmental Protection Agency announced that carbon-dioxide emissions were an “endangerment” to health. This allows Barack Obama to regulate them, whatever Congress does.

The happiness did not last. On December 8th a draft agreement which had been discussed some weeks ago was leaked to the Guardian, a British newspaper. It caused a furore. The “Danish text” had been circulated by the hosts, but not to all parties; and it seems to confirm the futility of moves towards the legally binding treaty that many still want.

It also seems to link any rich-to-poor transfers of money to specific actions taken by developing countries to curb emissions. Embarrassed Danes said the text was one of several unofficial papers that had been floated, not a basis for real bargaining. The lead negotiator for the “G77 plus China” group of developing countries, Lumumba Di-Aping, was unsoothed. “This text…is a major violation that threatens the success of the Copenhagen negotiations,” he fumed, saying two years’ work had been swept aside.

Can there still be a deal? The main obstacle may not be emissions cuts, which will not change much, but the closely linked issues of the shape of a deal and how much money it involves.

Everyone agrees that poorer countries, including India and China, need cash for climate “mitigation”—adopting green technology and new approaches to land use and forest conservation—and for “adaptation”: coping with the anticipated effects of climate change, some of which (like a degree of sea level rise) look unavoidable. America has joined the list of countries accepting such transfers, saying it will pay its “fair share”. Rich countries have talked of a “quick start” fund. The leaked Danish text has it starting in 2010-12 at a value to be determined; the UN has suggested $10 billion. To poor countries, this sounds paltry: responses range from “bribery” to “it will not even pay for the coffins”. Instead, the G77 has asked for 0.5% to 1% of the rich countries’ GDPs. That implies hundreds of billions of dollars on top of existing development aid. The idea that rich countries will hand over 1.2% to 1.7% of their wealth in perpetuity is not going to fly.

Some transfers occur already. Rich states meet emissions targets by paying poor countries to do the cutting, under Kyoto’s Clean Development Mechanism. This system is under fire in Copenhagen for being too choosy or too arbitrary in the projects it backs. It is also too small: it abates only 330m tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, and billions of tonnes must be cut.

On Thursday, George Soros, a philanthropist, proposed turning on a much bigger tap: he wants a new use of Special Drawing Rights, effectively the IMF’s in-house gold-backed “currency”, mainly held by the rich countries. The IMF extended an extra $153 billion to rich countries last year to help them with the financial crisis. Most of it was unused. Mr Soros wants rich countries to lend $100 billion-worth to poor ones, creating a “green fund” to jump-start mitigation. The IMF’s gold reserves could pay the (small) interest amounts that poor countries would otherwise owe.

Other proposals abound. The REDD initiative on forestry should move lots of money to countries which avoid felling trees. If emissions from ships and aircraft are cut, using a tax or an emissions market, that could provide cash. Less promisingly, France wants a levy on financial transactions. And the European Climate Foundation, a think-tank, says more could be taken from existing carbon markets: cash could be winkled from traders who arbitrage the price difference between green projects in poor places and the “allocation” paid by rich-world emitters.

The question of who gets paid what, and how, feeds back into the main issue in these and inevitable future talks: to what extent will obligations under the Kyoto protocol be extended beyond the developed countries to developing ones? Rich countries account for most of the past emissions that now fill the air, but less than half the world’s current emissions.

Settling this question will mean some differentiation between developing countries, a term that includes both industrial giants and hapless victims, whose interests are very different. Some people think this was the reason for the leaking of the Danish text. Those most offended by it are the smallest, weakest countries, which are vulnerable and emit very little. They are more interested in strong action than in who pays for it or who has to make the cuts. The calculus is different for the larger, more industrialised emerging markets, at least four of which—Brazil, India, South Africa and China—saw the text before it was leaked. They have more to gain from keeping the onus of action and payment on the developed world alone.

These countries have produced their own draft document, which would absorb any new agreement into the existing Kyoto framework. If the leak serves to firm up resistance to a deal that spreads the duties of reduction wider, China and other large developing states may be the gainers

WAR GAMES
Dec 10th 2009

Consumer products and video-gaming technology are boosting the
performance and reducing the price of military equipment

VIDEO games have become increasingly realistic, especially those
involving armed combat. America's armed forces have even used video
games as recruitment and training tools. But the desire to play games
is not the reason why the United States Air Force recently issued a
procurement request for 2,200 Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) video-game
consoles. It intends to link them up to build a supercomputer that will
run Linux, a free, open-source operating system. It will be used for
research, including the development of high-definition imaging systems
for radar, and will cost around one-tenth as much as a conventional
supercomputer. The air force has already built a smaller computer from
a cluster of 336 PS3s.

This is merely the latest example of an unusual trend. There is a long
tradition of technology developed for military use filtering through to
consumer markets: satellite-navigation systems designed to guide
missiles can also help hikers find their way, and head-up displays have
moved from jet fighters to family cars. But technology is increasingly
moving in the other direction, too, as consumer products are
appropriated for military use.

Traditionally the military has preferred to develop and control its own
technology, not just for tactical advantage but also to ensure that
equipment was tough and reliable enough for those whose lives would
depend on it. That began to change after the cold war as defence
budgets became constrained and the development of sophisticated
industrial and consumer products accelerated. As some of these
technologies have become commoditised products which are available to
everyone--friend and foe alike--there seems less reason not to buy them
and use the savings for more critical equipment that needs to be
built-to-order. And consumer products can often be tweaked to make them
more rugged or secure when necessary.

HANDS OFF THE XBOX
A new piece of military kit can take years to specify, test and acquire
using a traditional procurement process, only to arrive already
outdated. So, where possible, it is quicker and cheaper to buy
commercial off-the-shelf items. These range from industry-standard
components, like processor chips incorporated into military equipment,
to products that consumers would recognise. Sometimes these are made
more rugged, like Panasonic Toughbook computers, or converted for other
uses, like Xbox 360 video-game controllers adapted to operate small
robotic ground vehicles used for reconnaissance.

Apple's iPod and iPhone are among the latest additions to a soldier's
kit. American forces in Afghanistan and Iraq are using them for
translation (one such device is pictured above) and to view
intelligence information, such as pictures transmitted from unmanned
reconnaissance drones. An iPhone app called Bullet Flight enables
snipers to calculate range and trajectory for their shots, and built-in
satellite-positioning allows local weather conditions to be taken into
account. The basic version costs $3.99 and the full military one--which
even calculates how the Coriolis effect from the rotation of the Earth
will influence a bullet's flight--costs $29.99.

In the fast-moving consumer-electronics industry, where some products
are lucky to have a shelf life of more than a year, companies can
spread their research-and-development costs across a global mass
market. Defence contractors, however, usually supply only a limited
amount of equipment designed to meet the specific requirements of a
particular customer. Exports can help spread costs, but different
countries demand different specifications, which pushes costs back up.
Consumer-electronics companies also adopt aggressive pricing strategies
to grab market share. The PS3, which now costs $300 in America, was
initially sold at a loss by Sony in order to boost its popularity. (The
company hopes to recoup its losses by taking a cut from the sale of
each game for the console.)

In many cases it is probably now impossible for companies outside the
consumer-electronics industry to match the price and performance of
mass-market components. BAE Systems, a British aerospace and defence
contractor, has calculated that a GBP300 ($500) video card from NVIDiA,
a Californian company which is a leader in gaming graphics, can replace
GBP30,000 worth of other computing equipment used for engineering
simulation.

What has changed in the past two years, says David Standingford, group
leader of electromagnetic modelling at BAE, is that products such as
the PS3 and NVIDiA graphics cards have become immensely powerful
computers in their own right. He adds that the emergence of new
industry standards and a leap in power from the use of multi-core
processors, which contain several number-crunching engines working in
parallel, has made it easier to incorporate and link up such devices to
tackle much bigger tasks.

Last year an IBM supercomputer called Roadrunner, based at the Los
Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, established a new record by
operating at more than one petaflop (1,000 trillion calculations a
second). Roadrunner is the world's first "hybrid" supercomputer, having
been assembled in part from off-the-shelf equipment, including 12,960
Cell processor chips like those found inside the PS3. It will be used
to simulate the behaviour of nuclear weapons.

In Britain, BAE Systems, Airbus, Rolls-Royce, Williams (a Formula 1
racing team) and others have set up a not-for-profit laboratory based
in Bristol called CFMS to evaluate consumer products and components
that could reduce the cost of engineering simulations. Jamil Appa of
BAE, who is involved in the project, says one aim is to see how easily
the internal architecture of video-games consoles can handle the
complex algorithms used in simulations. The lab will provide feedback
to consumer-product suppliers, he adds.

NVIDIA already recognises that it is not just gamers who are interested
in its products. In September, when Jen-Hsun Huang, NVIDIA's CEO,
unveiled the company's latest graphics technology, he described it as
the "soul of a supercomputer" with applications beyond gaming.

Nor is it just the military that is keen to employ consumer technology
in sophisticated applications. The Swedish police are already using a
virtual autopsy system based on gaming technology to help solve crimes
(see box). And Siemens, a German electronics and engineering giant,
recently launched an ultrasound scanner which allows expectant mothers
to see their unborn child in 3-D. It uses an NVIDIA graphics card and
3-D glasses devised for gaming. Soldiers have also been spotted wearing
3-D glasses, which will add another dimension to modern warfare.

Another life for CAT

Bangalore: Are the IIMs mulling over holding another CAT for admissions 2010? Stung by nationwide criticism on bungling the CAT test, the IIMs want to put the mouse away and go in for the paper-pencil format.

Sources said those within the IIMs have suggested to the directors to consider holding another test before the HRD ministry thrusts it on them. The big question: will the 10-day exercise (computerised CAT) that concluded on Tuesday be declared null and void?

At a meeting of the IIMs of Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Calcutta last week, there were clear indications that the B-schools may have no choice but to conduct another test in the interest of thousands of IIM aspirants. “Our main interest is in ensuring that we give each candidate a fair chance to write the test and at the end the test is a fair one. We always have an option of holding another one. The CAT committee has already prepared additional tests,’’ sources said.

HRD minister Kapil Sibal too is unhappy with the way the CAT was conducted this year. “He has cited the example of his predecessor Murli Manohar Joshi who cancelled the test five years ago after a question paper leak. The directors may well take a decision before the ministry directs them to do so. That will be embarrassing for the premier IIMs,’’ the sources maintained.

The IIMs have privately admitted that they could not conduct the computerised CAT 2009 in a foolproof manner as desired. The test was organised in 32 cities, 106 centres and 361 labs.

Airport Chaos

Smog, runway repairs add up to flight delays






It was a mess at the airport till evening.the security area was so crowded that it is difficult to breather
A thick smog over the city left flight operations at Mumbai airport suspended on Tuesday afternoon as visibility fell below the required minimum, forcing many flights to divert or reschedule. The evening saw major delays, with air traffic congestion mounting due to a backlog of flights waiting to depart or land. The smog coincided with shortened runway operations due to maintenance work on the cross-runway intersection.

Only 19 flight movements took place in the five hours when the shortened runway was in use—13 incoming flights and six departures. The average of flight movements on the shortened runway since the past two Tuesdays has been 50. Passengers had a tough time as most departures slotted during shortened-runway operations were cancelled or postponed. The shortened runway—half the length of the main runway—was in use at around 1 pm after a portion was closed for resurfacing. But operations had to halt almost an hour later, because visibility dropped to 1,800 metres. Operations resumed two and a half hours later, only to close again in 20 minutes. The full runway reopened at 6 pm as per schedule.

“On the main runway, which is 3,400 metres, aircraft can land even when visibility is as low as 800 metres. But during shortenedrunway operations, the minimum is 2,400 metres for a Boeing 737 and 2,800 metres for ATR aircraft. Hence, there was no option but to shut down operations as the pilot could not have seen the runway because he was using the visual approach to land,’’ an official said.

Officials said visibility had fallen to 1,000 metres on Monday, raising concerns. “The disruption was expected as the smog was very thick through Monday. What’s worse, on Tuesdays there’s no assisted landing for aircraft. So low visibility means no visibility,’’ a senior commander said.

Officials said seven Jet Airways, five Kingfisher an two Jetlite flights were diverted to Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Pune, Bangalore and Aurangabad. After the main runway opened, flights clustered to land. “There were 40 arriving flights waiting to land hovering within 100 miles of Mumbai’s airspace,’’ a source said. “After these flights landed and the skies cleared, the departure queue swelled up,’’ he added.



TROUBLE ON THE TARMAC





The shortened runway, which at 1,700 metres is about half the length of the full runway, can accommodate only smaller aircraft, such as an ATR or a Boeing 737

Aircraft cannot land on the shortened runway in wet weather. Hence operations have to shut down even if there is a light drizzle

Aircraft cannot land on the shortened runway if visibility is below 2,400 metres for a Boeing and 2,800 metres for an ATR

Lavasa future cities

Most Indian cities today are reeling under problems of infrastructure collapse because of increasing population, lack of planning and poor management. The underlying cause very clearly is absence of a robust governance structure and its accountability to public. India has the 2nd largest urban system in the world. 310 million live in 5161 cities and towns. That's like cramming the entire population of America into the third of the space. Most Indian cities are probably operating at their peak levels of occupancy. Perhaps in some cases, it's a miracle they still work. To make matters worse, in the next 30 years , another 400 million will migrate to these cities. That's about twenty Australias for you. And by 2030, India's urban population is estimated to reach a staggering 575 million. It's about time somebody asked the question: in the years to come, where will India live? Lavasa, in association with The Times of India presents Lavasa Future Cities, an initiative borne of a vision to build new cities that are sensitive to the environment and intelligently planned for a fast-evolving future. It is an unchangeable fact that the India of tomorrow will find expression in its cities. What we can question and hence change is how that future will be lived. It’s time we started a new conversation. Lavasa Future Cities; it starts now.

A Livable City

What makes a city livable? It is a commonly debated question and an important one for cities striving to improve their quality of life. What makes a community pleasant? What leads its citizens to feel a sense of pride in where they live? There are an enormous number of potential criteria for assessing the livability of a city. What should be our urban planning model? Some policy makers have often looked up to the Singapore model and advocated the benefits of central planning in directing the growth of the city. As the example of India’s previously planned cities like Chandigrah and Gandhinagar has shown, that may not always be the best answer. City planning is one of the few sectors where the public and private sector can work individually toward common goals

Family

This my family on a vacation. It was probably one of our best and we are having a great time.

My elder Son Neel is now taller than me and basket ball person and my younger one Jai just a little happy elve.

My wife is a teacher very pasionate about her work.
