Yuvraj, Harbhajan back for England Tests
 |
The 30-year-old, who fought back after being diagnosed with a rare germ cell cancer last year, forced his way back into the squad after commendable performances in the domestic circuit.
Harbhajan
also got the nod from the new selection panel headed by former Test
cricketer Sandeep Patil more than a year after his last appearance in a
five-day game.
There
were no major surprises by the selectors, who dropped Suresh Raina to
accommodate Yuvraj while Harbhajan made his way at the expense of
injured leg-spinner Piyush Chawla.
Sachin
Tendulkar, the seniormost member of the squad, will provide solidity in
an otherwise inexperienced middle-order line-up which will also have
the inform Virat Kohli. Cheteshwar Pujara and Yuvraj will be the others
in the middle order.
Tamil
Nadu opener Murali Vijay was also named in the squad as a reserve
opener though the selectors retained the experienced duo of Virender
Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir despite both of them going through a form
slump for a long time.
Vijay replaced S Badrinath, who featured in the last Test against New Zealand in August.
Pace
spearhead Zaheer Khan, whose fitness was under the scanner after he
limped off the field during a Ranji Trophy match on Sunday, has also
been retained apparently after getting the physio's nod. Umesh Yadav and
Ishant Sharma are the two other pacers in the squad.
The
team has seven specialist batsmen, three pacers, three spinners and one
wicketkeeper batsman in skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
The
series starts in Ahmedabad from November 15, followed by the second
Test in Mumbai (from November 23 to 27). The third Test is scheduled in
Kolkata (December 5 to 9) and the final match will be played in Nagpur
from December 13 to 17.
Squad for first and second Tests: Mahendra
Singh Dhoni (c), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Sachin
Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, Cheteshwar Pujara, R Ashwin, Umesh Yadav,
Pragyan Ojha, Ajinkya Rahane, Harbhajan Singh, Ishant Sharma, Murali
Vijay, Zaheer Khan.
Obama, Romney wait with bated breath as US votes
With President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney
locked in an intense battle for the White House, Americans today voted
in an election that followed one of the most expensive and negative
campaigns, with pundits predicting a wafer-thin win for the incumbent.
Voters from a small township in the battleground New Hampshire State were the first to cast their ballot shortly after midnight when the polling began.
Dixville Notch in New Hampshire has been casting the first ballot of presidential elections since 1960.
So far, it has picked seven out of 13 winners.
For the first time ever, the vote was tied in the township, with both Obama, 51, and Romney, 65, receiving five votes each, another indication of the knife’s edge separating the two candidates.
Unlike India and in most of the democracies across the world where the entire nation has one time for the opening and closing of polls, the election schedule in the United States, world’s largest democracies, varies from State to State.
In US, the President is not chosen by the popular vote, but indirectly through the electoral college, in which states vote based on population, with a candidate needing 270 out of 538 electoral votes to win.
Hours ahead of the today’s elections in which over 180 million people were eligible to vote, both the Romney and Obama campaigns, in their speeches and conference calls with reporters, claimed that enthusiasm was on their side.
Though polling centres in the US opened this morning to decide who will sit in the White House for the next four years, over one-third of the voters have already exercised their franchise using the provision of early voting.
According to latest figures complied by the US Election Project of the George Mason University, more than 30.5 million voters had already cast their ballots.
Obama, who cast his vote through early voting along with First Lady Michelle Obama, led from the front as he became the first US President to do so.
The battle for the presidency has narrowed to 10 swing states, as Obama and Romney engaged in last ditch efforts to break into each others’ votebanks yesterday.
This election has witnessed the most expensive and one of the most negative campaigns.
More than USD 6 billion were spent by the rival camps in a bid to woo Americans, who were still reeling under a sluggish economy and the impact of the superstorm Sandy that slammed the US East Coast last week claiming nearly 100 lives and causing billions of dollars in losses.
Obama preferred to spend the election day in his home town of Chicago, playing basketball with friends and giving a dozen satellite interviews in several battleground States.
His strategy on the final day of campaigning was to cement his last line of defence in the crucial industrial mid west and attempt to pluck away several insurance states from Romney’s target list.
Romney, who started as an underdog but grew into a formidable opponent, dashed through the swing states of Iowa and Ohio, trying to break into the Democrat citadels, telling voters that Obama’s record, particularly on the economy, did not warrant a return to the White House.
Obama wrapped up his campaign yesterday at a community college in Colorado.
Opinion polls, have suggested a close contest.
The latest Washington Post-ABC tracking poll released yesterday gave Obama (50 per cent) a three point lead over Romney (47 per cent), which is still within the margin of statistical error.
“The poll also finds that Obama remains the favourite, with 55 per cent of voters saying that he will win. By contrast, 35 per cent believe Romney will win while 10 per cent register no opinion,” the daily said.
The polls are too close to call, the CNN said, so did other major news networks.

The secret to getting through: Always be doing something.
So here's a resource you can keep coming back to until the polls close.
Obviously, the most important thing you need to do is vote. Confirm your polling location and hours.
Make sure you ask some neighbors to go with you when you head over.
But when you're done with that, don't wait around for the news. Make the news -- do something:

King-size thought leadership for change
New Delhi : November 06,2012 : Over the past decade iCONGO – International Confederation of NGOs has created numerous action oriented ideas & citizen movements which include THE JOY OF GIVING (to encourage philanthropy for social justice from 2003) , KARMAYUGA the RIGHT EVERY WRONG generation (to promote Individual Social Responsibility – ISR a term coined by iCONGO)ࠬ www.iIDishoom.com (the first people reporting and whistle- blowing news / views social media portal) Karmaveer-ʧlobal awards for social justice & citizen action, Karma Kurry for the mind body heart & soul a series of books with inspirational stories and www.HallaBolo.com simple weaponry to help citizens combat corruption on a daily basis. iCONGO has also been organizing the RIOGHT every WRONG conclave. This has now been rechristened and is all set to be launched as REX- IDEAS FOR ACTION the one and only platform beyond social, political and economic boundaries of a country to churn King-size thought leadership for change. Over the past 7 years ideas created at REX have led to action for addressing socio-political issue like combating corruption, creating electoral reforms, addressing climate change and creating other social panacea for causes like HIV, Disability, Poverty, communal harmony, corporate governance, CSR, Humane Capitalism, ethical entrepreneurship, proactive volunteering, whistleblower protection, community service and social ventures.

Elaborating the vision behind REX, Jeroninio Almeida founder & curator of REX and iCONGO༯span>said, 㼢>㙯u can kill, harm, exile, imprison, destroy/ defame a person but not an idea. You can co-opt/ corrupt a person but not an idea that becomes a collective movement & ideology. This collective ideology cannot be killed, harmed, exiled imprisoned destroyed, defamed, co-opted or corrupted. This shall always prevail and stay as an ideology of the people collectively. REX is a simple and austere platform aiming at enabling partnerships between grassroots community, industry workers and people from media, government, businesses and citizens at large to generate ideas for action that can make a difference in our world and bring about a༯span>change for the greater good of humanity.䠁s was said by Gautam Buddha㮠An༢>idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an༢>idea that exists only as an༢>idea and thus REX is based on the Eastern Ethos of creating ideas emerge from nothingness and traditional wisdom based on pure philosophy and the will to make things happen for the benefit of the community and society. I shall be speaking about how citizens can help stop corruption in our country through www.Hallabolo.com which is power in the hands of people to fight corruption and right every wrong.

CAIT MADE AN UNUSUAL APPEAL TO MEDIA TO HOLD DEBATE ON FDI IN RETAIL
The issue of FDI in Retail Trade of India has become
crucial for national economy and will have far reaching impact on the
life of every citizen. The Government is laying all stress to establish
that FDI in Retail is the ultimate solution of all problems of the
Country. The Prime Minister, UPA Chairperson Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, Congress
General Secretary Mr. Rahul Gandhi and other politicians within the
Congress are relentlessly advocating the benefits of FDI in Retail
without substantiating their arguments with logical reasoning and
apparently the Government has not conducted any proper research to
determine the impacts of the FDI in Retail. The opposing voice of the
majority of political fraternity and that of stakeholders has been
deeply ignored by the Government. Though Government is able to put forth
its view whether right or wrong before the public through various
resources at its command, the reasoning of opposition to FDI in Retail
has not been reflected in its right perspective though the media has
done his best to highlight the issue.
Under the circumstances, the Confederation of All
India Traders (CAIT) while taking an unusual step today appealed the
media of the Country to hold a "comprehensive open debate” for
sufficient duration of time in a structured manner by inviting votaries
of both sides to place their view point with proper reasoning supported
by relevant facts and figures in order to bring the real truth of the
controversial issue before the people of India. The CAIT also suggested
that to monitor the debate a panel of eminent and distinguished citizens
not belonging to any side may be formed to ensure impartial debate.
The CAIT is officially writing communications to
different media for holding such a debate so that the issue may go down
the last man of the Country and to make people aware of the pros and
cons of FDI in Retail-informed CAIT National President Mr. B.C.Bhartia
and Secretary General Mr. Praveen Khandelwal in a joint statement issued
here today. The policy which seems to be beneficial to about 150
corporate houses at the cost of 120 crore people of the Country needs a
public scanning.
Quoting former US President Thomas Jefferson saying
that “If it were left to me whether we should have a government without
newspapers or newspapers without the government. I should not hesitate
to prefer the latter” both Mr. Bhartia and Mr. Khandelwal said that it
is the primary function of the press to provide comprehensive and
objective information on all aspects of the issues concerned with a
common man since democracy is not only a form of government but also a
way of life where public opinion is an important aspect. There is a need
to inform the people of things around them so that there is a check on
the Government. In a country like India where most of the people are non
participant in framing the policies, public opinion needs to be
generated and media is competent enough to perform the duty. it has to
present what is true, advocate what is necessary and enable the people
to sift the essence from material.
The CAIT leaders hoped that since the issue has been
made confusing due to incorrect information and illogical arguments
which are being floated without going in to the depth of the issue to
mislead the Country, the media will certainly rise to the occasion and
will hold “open debate” on the issue. “The CAIT is ready to participate
in any such debate”-said Mr. Bhartia and Mr. Khandelwal
Naresh -- I didn't want this to get lost in the excitement of everything that will happen tomorrow, so I wanted to take a moment, right now, to say two simple words that I cannot say enough to all of you who have traveled this journey with us: Thank you.
Thank you for the kindness, warmth, and love that you have shown me, Barack, and especially our girls -- your support and your prayers mean the world to us. Thank you for the hard work and energy and passion that you have poured into this campaign -- from all those hours knocking on doors and making calls to all those times you dug a little deeper and gave what you could when it was needed the most.
Like me, you have done all this because you love this country, and you care deeply about the world we're leaving for our kids and grandkids. And you've done it because, for these last four years, you have had a chance to see the man I've known for the past 23 years: A man of honor and integrity who knows what he believes and stays true to his values. He is an honest man who knows the facts and gives them to us straight -- a man whose strength and resolve to build a better tomorrow has never wavered.
With your help, over the past four years, Barack has been able to start moving this country forward. He's rescued our economy from the brink of collapse. He's passed health reform and ended the war in Iraq. He's fought to help women get equal pay for equal work, make sure students can afford college, ensure that our seniors can retire with dignity, and that our veterans can get the benefits they have earned.
For four years, Barack has been fighting to give every single one of us a fair shot at that great American dream, no matter what we look like, where we come from, or who we love.
He's been able to do all of this only because of people like you -- because of your hard work, determination, and commitment.
And tomorrow, everything we've been working for and fighting for is at stake. Tomorrow, we will decide whether we'll keep moving this country forward for four more years. So make sure to tell everyone you know to vote, and then help every last supporter get to the polls before tomorrow night. You can even make calls to voters from the comfort of your own home using our call tool.
Our family has been truly blessed to share these past four years with all of you -- and we can't wait to continue our work together for the next four years. So tomorrow, let's get out there and finish what we started:
http://my.barackobama.com/What-You-Can-Do
Thank you again for everything you've done and everything you will continue to do to bring about that change we all believe in.

The most important requirement of any healthy
relationship is that there should be unity of thoughts and deeds. By unity of
thoughts and deeds I mean there should be a broad consensus between the two
about the purpose of life, philosophy of life and role one is to play to make
life meaningful. As they say birds of the same feathers flock together. The
converse is also true birds of different feathers cannot flock together. Excerpts from this book
