BCCI to nominate Rahul Dravid for Khel Ratna, Yuvraj Singh for Arjuna Award

2012-07-07T04:37:00.000-07:00

Mumbai: The Cricket Board has decided to recommend recently retired stalwart Rahul Dravid for the prestigious Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ra
tna award and Yuvraj Singh, the player of the World Cup, for the Arjuna Award.

"We will be forwarding the names of Rahul Dravid for Khel Ratna Award and Yuvraj Singh for the Arjuna Award next week (to the government)," BCCI's CAO Prof Ratnakar Shetty said on Saturday.

The Government had recently extended the deadline for the nominations till July 20. The 39-year-old Dravid retired from all forms of the game at the international level following the Test series in Australia last year after having accumulated over 23,000 runs in Tests and ODIs combined since making a spectacular debut at Lord's in 1996.

If awarded the highest sports award in the country that was instituted in 1991-92, former India captain Dravid would follow the footsteps of his illustrious ex-teammates Sachin Tendulkar (1997-98) and Mahendra Singh Dhoni (2007-08) as the third cricketer to win the coveted award.

So far 20 sportspersons have been bestowed the award. Yuvraj, who has started practising at the nets at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore after his battle with a rare form of germ cell cancer between his lungs, was India's hero in the 2011 World Cup triumph.

Higgs boson-like particle discovery claimed at LHC

2012-07-05T03:34:00.001-07:00

The moment when Cern director Rolf Heuer confirmed the Higgs results

Cern scientists reporting from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have claimed the discovery of a new particle consistent with the Higgs boson.

The particle has been the subject of a 45-year hunt to explain how matter attains its mass.

Both of the Higgs boson-hunting experiments at the LHC see a level of certainty in their data worthy of a "discovery".

More work will be needed to be certain that what they see is a Higgs, however.

Prof Stephen Hawking tells the BBC's Pallab Ghosh the discovery has cost him $100

The results announced at Cern (European Organization for Nuclear Research), home of the LHC in Geneva, were met with loud applause and cheering.

Prof Peter Higgs, after whom the particle is named, wiped a tear from his eye as the teams finished their presentations in the Cern auditorium.

"I would like to add my congratulations to everyone involved in this achievement," he added later.

"It's really an incredible thing that it's happened in my lifetime."

Prof Stephen Hawking joined in with an opinion on a topic often discussed in hushed tones.

"This is an important result and should earn Peter Higgs the Nobel Prize," he told BBC News.

"But it is a pity in a way because the great advances in physics have come from experiments that gave results we didn't expect."

'Dramatic'

The CMS team claimed they had seen a "bump" in their data corresponding to a particle weighing in at 125.3 gigaelectronvolts (GeV) - about 133 times heavier than the protons that lie at the heart of every atom.

The BBC's George Alagiah explains the Higgs boson

They claimed that by combining two data sets, they had attained a confidence level just at the "five-sigma" point - about a one-in-3.5 million chance that the signal they see would appear if there were no Higgs particle.

However, a full combination of the CMS data brings that number just back to 4.9 sigma - a one-in-two million chance.

Prof Joe Incandela, spokesman for the CMS, was unequivocal: "The results are preliminary but the five-sigma signal at around 125 GeV we're seeing is dramatic. This is indeed a new particle," he told the Geneva meeting.

Atlas results were even more promising, at a slightly higher mass: "We observe in our data clear signs of a new particle, at the level of five sigma, in the mass region around 126 GeV," said Dr Fabiola Gianotti, spokeswoman for the Atlas experiment at the LHC.

Peter Higgs joined three of the six theoreticians who first predicted the Higgs at the conference

Prof Rolf Heuer, director-general of Cern, commented: "As a layman I would now say I think we have it."

"We have a discovery - we have observed a new particle consistent with a Higgs boson. But which one? That remains open.

"It is a historic milestone but it is only the beginning."

Commenting on the emotions of the scientists involved in the discovery, Prof Incandela said: "It didn't really hit me emotionally until today because we have to be so focussed… but I'm super-proud."

Dr Gianotti echoed his thoughts, adding: "The last few days have been extremely intense, full of work, lots of emotions."

A confirmation that this is the Higgs boson would be one of the biggest scientific discoveries of the century; the hunt for the Higgs has been compared by some physicists to the Apollo programme that reached the Moon in the 1960s.

Statistics of a 'discovery'

Particle physics has an accepted definition for a discovery: a "five-sigma" (or five standard-deviation) level of certainty
The number of sigmas measures how unlikely it is to get a certain experimental result as a matter of chance rather than due to a real effect
Similarly, tossing a coin and getting a number of heads in a row may just be chance, rather than a sign of a "loaded" coin
A "three-sigma" level represents about the same likelihood as tossing eight heads in a row
Five sigma, on the other hand, would correspond to tossing more than 20 in a row
Independent confirmation by other experiments turns five-sigma findings into accepted discoveries

BBC: Higgs boson collection

Scientists would then have to assess whether the particle they see behaves like the version of the Higgs particle predicted by the Standard Model, the current best theory to explain how the Universe works. However, it might also be something more exotic.

All the matter we can see appears to comprise just 4% of the Universe, the rest being made up by mysterious dark matter and dark energy.

A more exotic version of the Higgs could be a bridge to understanding the 96% of the Universe that remains obscure.

Scientists will have to look at how the Higgs decays - or transforms - into other, more stable particles after being produced in collisions at the LHC.

Dr Pippa Wells, a member of the Atlas experiment, said that several of the decay paths already showed deviations from what one would expect of the Standard Model Higgs.

For example, a decay path where the Higgs transforms into two photon particles was "a bit on the high side", she explained.

These could get back into line as more statistics are added, but on the other hand, they may not.

"We're reaching into the fabric of the Universe at a level we've never done before," said Prof Incandela.

"We're on the frontier now, on the edge of a new exploration. This could be the only part of the story that's left, or we could open a whole new realm of discovery."

2012-06-29T09:13:00.001-07:00

Mayyanad is a village in Kollam district in the state of Kerala, India.^[1]

Mayyanad is located at the south western suburbs of Kollam city in Kollam district of Kerala and is about 10 kilometers south of Kollam city. Mayyanad can be reached by frequent buses from Kollam City and Kottiyam town and by local train from Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram. Mayyanad is situated on the banks of the Paravur lake. Mayyanad's costal line along the Arabian sea is famous for its fishing.

Several famous Temples, Churches and Mosques are situated in Mayyanad.

Mayyanad is the birth place of several social leaders like C.Kesavan, C.V. Kunjuraman, etc. The first Panchayat President was Prof. K. Ravindran who went on to become the founder principal of Mahatma Gandhi Government Arts College in Mahe and Tagore Arts College in Pondicherry.

Malayalam Daily Newspaper "Kerala Kaumudi" was started from Mayyanad in 1911

Hided Beauty:Enchanting Wayanad

Enchanting Wayanad

Had been to Wayanad with the whole family...uncles, aunts, cousins, all of them. A few snapshots from there.
It rained quite a bit both the days, and we were on the road for quite a bit.

En route Wayanad, somewhere along the Mysore-Gundlupet road

Entering the Kerala border proved a big pain with the Check post having a massive traffic jam. Gave me time to explore the fields around

Viewpoint at Vythiri, this is the stretch that connects Kalpetta to Kozhikode

The hair pin bends seen from the view point, called "Churam" in the local language

Visited poookot lake too, sadly they do not open the gates until 9AM, so we waking up early and making a dash did not help us much.

Pedal-boated a bit with family, and also netted a couple of P. fasciatus with some nice earthen base color as stripes

Also seen were tons of tadpoles, have seen similar looking ones in the streams of the western ghats

There was tons of fern growth...they tend to grow nicely in moist areas.

And where there is moisture, there are leeches too. Thankfully caught one on my leg before it could latch on. Showed my cousins the way the leech "tracks" heat movement, almost like a snake.

Spotted some nice spiders too, a tiny red one which hopped onto my hand. Jumped off before I could transfer my camera from th e other hand.

Managed to click this HUGE Giant wood spider, a good 4"+

We moved on towards "Soochipara" falls amidst tea/coffee plantations. Though these are not really "natural" scapes, the green sure does soothe the eyes. It was heavily overcast and the humidity levels rose. Plus, without a particular light direction, metering enough from a moving bus to expose enough details on the landscape was getting tough!

Made use of every pothole where the bus slowed down to help compose the shot a bit

Even managed a macro, although a crappy one :P

The walk/trek to the Soochipara falls took a toll on some of the family. The walking distance is 1KM+
The falls itself is pretty tall, and the sound of the water thundering down on the rocks helped us reach faster :)
It was just filled with college folks and a few "Revellers", thankfully in about 15 minutes the crowd cleared out

Even with so much greenery around, the landscapes and sights enticed me into clicking a few B&W shots. Landscapes for some inexplicable reason just feel "Stronger"

There's so much more to explore, surely will be going back again to explore more of this captivating district of Kerala.

Super hit-Sakuni

2012-06-23T05:58:00.000-07:00

Karthi has become a familiar name among the Telugu audiences with the success of some of his dubbed movies in Telugu. In order to cash in on his popularity and fan following, the producers started making films in bilinguals. His latest movie Sakuni is one such attempt. The film has many Telugu artistes like Prakash Raj, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Radhika, Roja, Pranitha and others. When it comes to the story....

Kamal Krishna (Karthi) is a normal middle class guy and he wants to save his house in Samalkot as the government is planning to construct a railway sub-way. In a bid to save it, he meets Chief Minister Bhupati (Prakash Raj), but he is insulted by him. To teach him a lesson, Kamal supports opposition leader Perumal (Kota Srinivasa Rao). What kind of steps Kamal takes to teach a lesson to Bhupati? Will he be able to save his ancestral house? Answers to these questions are to be seen on the screen.

Performance: In Sakuni, Karthi steals the show with his wonderful performance. He has taken whole responsibility of running the show on his shoulder. Pranitha has no much scope except to shake legs with the hero. Santhanam tickles the funny bones of audiences. Prakash Raj, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Roja, Radhika, Anushka, Andrea, Kiran Rathod have also done justice to their respective roles.

Technical: PH Muttaiah's cinematography is bright and average, while Srikar Prasad's editing is very dull. GV Prakash Kumar's music is below the par and none of the songs are impressive and foot-tapping. Even the background score is very dull and the poor re-recording fails to elevate the scenes.

The director has chosen an excellent storyline with political backdrop, but has failed to narrate it properly. All the scenes are bits and pieces as he has chosen a novel way to narrate in the form of flashbacks. The entire film looks very dull due to unimpressive screenplay. He has also failed to tap the energies of Prakash Raj, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Nazar, Radhika and Karthi. Roja's character is wasted.

All the dialogues in the film had the Tamil scent and lacked local touch. The production values of Bellamkonda are good. The entire first half of the film is devoted to narration of silly points in the form of flashbacks. Second half takes fast pace for some time, but the director lose grip on the subject again.

Remarks: Watch the film if you are a hardcore fan of Karthi. Otherwise, you can wait for the DVD as the film is not that exciting and interesting to watch by going to the theatre. The commercial success of the film depends on how could Karthi pulls audiences to the theatre.

Cast: Karthi, Pranitha, Prakash Raj, Chandramohan, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Santhanam, Nazar, Radhika, Roja, Kiran Rathod and others.

Credits: Cinematography - PH Muttaiah; Editing - Srikar Prasad; Music - GV Prakash Kumar; Presenter - Bellamkonda Suresh; Producer - Gnanavel Raja; Story, screenplay and direction - Shankar Dayal.

Achuthanandan visits slain RMP leader`s house

2012-06-02T03:58:00.000-07:00

As news of unannounced visit spread, hundreds of people from nearby areas flocked to Chandrasekharan's house near here.

According to witnesses, former chief minister Achuthanandan appeared deeply moved when he met the murder victim's distraught widow Rema and his aged mother.

Rema broke down while holding Achuthanandan's hands. She related the family's distress since her husband was killed May 4 by men linked to the Communist Party of India-Marxist.

Once photographers had clicked away, Achuthanandan politely asked the media to leave.

He was then closeted for 45 minutes with Chandrasekhara's family and colleagues from Revolutionary Marxist Party, which the murdered man formed in 2008 after quitting the CPI-M.

Later, Achuthanandan went to the place where Chandrasekheran was cremated. He did not speak a word to the waiting media.

When the former chief minister reached the spot, supporters of the slain leader shouted slogans hailing the late Chandrasekharan as well as Achuthanandan.

The crowd was so thick that Achuthanandan, who heads the opposition in the assembly, had to walk a fair distance after getting off his car.

2012-05-31T05:42:00.000-07:00

Jagathy Sreekumar, who is now being treated at CMC Vellore is finding it very difficult to recognise people around him. The actor's right side was completely paralysed after the accident. Thanks to the efforts of the doctor, Jagathy is now able to move his right leg and is in a semi conscious state. Doctors hope that since his right side has begun to move, this movement will gradually pass on to the rest of his body as well and then the actor will regain his ability to speak.eak.

Moreover, all outside wounds have been healed and his body has begun responding to medication. Let's hope that Jagathy Sreekumar gets well soon and comes back on the big screen.

Chennai Super Kings innings (20 overs maximum)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
MEK Hussey	b Kallis	54	43	4	2	125.58
17.1 Kallis gets one for KKR, a tired Hussey departs after having made a huge contribution and having run 300 miles, a swipe misses and the length ball finds the stumps 160/2
M Vijay	c Shakib Al Hasan b Bhatia	42	32	4	1	131.25
10.2 slower one and what a catch! That was slogged away, wanted to go over deep square-leg, he does not get it in the middle, it was to the left of Shakib and he dived to catch that one, a bit of a send-off as well from the bowler! 87/1
SK Raina	c Lee b Shakib Al Hasan	73	38	3	5	192.10
19.6 Raina is dismissed off the final ball, Lee runs in from deep midwicket and catches the slog-swept ball low with a forward dive, he gets up and throws the ball away, but the damage has been done for KKR, too much of it 190/3
MS Dhoni*†	not out	14	9	2	0	155.55

Extras	(lb 3, w 2, nb 2)	7

Total	(3 wickets; 20 overs)	190	(9.50 runs per over)


Bowling	O	M	R	W	Econ
B Lee	4	0	42	0	10.50	(1nb)

Shakib Al Hasan	3	0	25	1	8.33	(1w)
19.6 to Raina, Raina is dismissed off the final ball, Lee runs in from deep midwicket and catches the slog-swept ball low with a forward dive, he gets up and throws the ball away, but the damage has been done for KKR, too much of it 190/3
SP Narine	4	0	37	0	9.25

Iqbal Abdulla	1	0	9	0	9.00

JH Kallis	4	0	34	1	8.50	(1nb, 1w)
17.1 to Hussey, Kallis gets one for KKR, a tired Hussey departs after having made a huge contribution and having run 300 miles, a swipe misses and the length ball finds the stumps 160/2
R Bhatia	3	0	23	1	7.66
10.2 to Vijay, slower one and what a catch! That was slogged away, wanted to go over deep square-leg, he does not get it in the middle, it was to the left of Shakib and he dived to catch that one, a bit of a send-off as well from the bowler! 87/1
YK Pathan	1	0	17	0	17.00


Kolkata Knight Riders innings (target: 191 runs from 20 overs)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
MS Bisla†	c Badrinath b Morkel	89	48	8	5	185.41
14.4 Bisla is gone this time, slower one working for Morkel, 109.6 kph short ball, he tried to make room and guide it over point, but ended up getting no timing on the stroke, and point went back a few steps to take the catch, but what an innings, could be a matchwinning one 139/2
G Gambhir*	b Hilfenhaus	2	4	0	0	50.00
0.6 out, bowled, end of the captain! That was an off-spinner at 120 km/hr, it drifted into the batsman and then held its line, misses the slog and it sneaks through to it timber, the KKR camp is as quiet as the others in the stadium are not. 3/1
JH Kallis	c Jadeja b Hilfenhaus	69	49	7	1	140.81
18.5 just got still tougher, probably even out of reach now, Hilfenhaus gets Kallis, he had to go for it, he had to go for the boundary, but he sliced a high full toss straight to sweeper cover, they check for the no-ball but bowler is alright, just about, full toss comfortably below waist height as well, a disappointed Kallis has to go 175/5
LR Shukla	c Hussey b Bravo	3	6	0	0	50.00
16.2 CSK have another wicket, the Shukla experiment has not worked, he has swung a pitched up ball straight to deep midwicket 152/3
YK Pathan	c Badrinath b Ashwin	1	2	0	0	50.00
17.1 now Ashwin takes out another, Yusuf Pathan has one innings of note to show for the season, he tried to slog-sweep, looked to be the carrom ball, top-edge flies high in the air, and midwicket settles under it 164/4
Shakib Al Hasan	not out	11	7	1	0	157.14

MK Tiwary	not out	9	3	2	0	300.00

Extras	(lb 1, w 6, nb 1)	8
