Extractions: Skip to the content of this page Advanced options The renaissance of cricket is happening in Silicon Valley. From: Issue 12 December 1997/January 1998, Page 78 By: Eric Ransdell Photographs by: Katrina Dickson Every Sunday from April to October, a several-centuries-old tradition meets a new-world ritual on playing fields from Santa Clara to Marin County. For eight hours some of Silicon Valley's top knowledge workers alternate hurling and thwacking balls across a 22-yard pitch of freshly mowed grass. It's the height of the season for the 26 teams in the Northern California Cricket Association (NCCA) and players are decked out in white duck trousers, white wool vests, and white, floppy canvas hats to bowl, bat, and take afternoon tea. Sridhar Ranganathan, star fast bowler (pitcher) for the Santa Clara Cricket Club (SCCC), is typical of the new breed of Silicon Valley cricketers. He grew up playing the game on the streets of Bombay before earning a BS in engineering at the city's university. From there he went on to get an MS in computer science from Villanova University and then an MBA from Berkeley (while working full-time at Xerox). A year ago he launched a startup that makes software to integrate computers and television. For Ranganathan, 32, cricket not only links him to a rich network of engineering talent (95% of SCCC's members hold engineering degrees); it also offers a gratifying mix of competition and community. "It's half sport, half social occasion," he says. League games are fierce teams battle it out in a round-robin until the playoffs in late September but the SCCC's 55 members seem to spend as much time together at parties, picnics, and outings as on the field. And, true to their engineering roots, team members debate everything from game strategy to groundskeeping on an email list and maintain a club Web site http://www.best.com/~srikar/sccc with schedules, player bios, and cricket links.

Internet Movie Database The first guide ever to libertarian-themed film. Contains over 250 reviews. An oustanding source of inspiration and pleasure! The premise here is a bit far-fetched, but the telling is more than entertaining enough to make a little suspended judgement worthwhile. The year is 1893; the place, a rural town in British colonial India. It seems the annual "lagaan" (agricultural tax) on local villagers was cancelled in the previous year due to an extended drought that made paying it impossible. Though the drought continues, the sadistic British captain in charge of the province orders the lagaan not only reinstated but doubled. The desperate villagers appeal this decision, so the captain makes them a Machiavellian offer: the village will play a game of cricket against the occupying British troops; if the villagers win, the tax will be cancelled for three years; if they lose, the tax will be reinstated and tripled. What follows is a cross between "Ghandi" and "The Bad News Bears," as the villagers assemble an untrained cricket team from their own rag tag ranks to face the relentlessly professional Brits, knowing all the while that if they lose they face certain destitution.

And what's more this girl, like Australia's first international golfing sweetheart, can play! But champion lawn bowler Karen Murphy laughs when you suggest she is the glamour amongst all the old boilers. "They're my mates you're talking about!" she says with mock indignation. With Murphy, the laughter at such an outrageous suggestion comes not from any embarrassment, but a self assurance refreshing in a 22-year-old sports star of any description. The stunning brunette, who attracts huge crowds wherever she competes on the lucrative national bowls circuit, wants to be admired for the depth of her bowling talent rather than any skin-deep assessment of her looks and youthful success. Over the past year or so she has won three national titles, Australia's most prestigious pairs tournament and the Coca-Cola Golden Nugget at Tweed Heads, the world's richest women's singles event, twice. These achievements earned her selection in the Australian team which defeated New Zealand in the recent Trans-Tasman Series on the Gold Coast, reinforcing the argument that, even at 22, she is more than just a pretty face.

Extractions: Taxonomic Classification Isn't Always Easy The purpose of this paper is to familiarize you with some of the subjective elements of how animals are classified,particularly at the higher order (i.e. families, orders, subphyla). A survey of entomology and zoology texts reveals substantial variation in the number and inclusiveness of insect orders recognized. One particular area of controversy is the relation of the primitively wingless (apterygote) to each other and other insect orders. Some authors believe they are polyphyletic and different enough from insects for each to be elevated to the rank of class. Your paper should be between 2-5 pages, typed (double-spaced), and fully edited. Use text (pp.340-347) as your main reference for Apterygote and Pterygote characteristics. Ch. 11 (pp.318-323) contain a useful discussion of systematics and biological classification. Be prepared for the possibility of exchanging your paper with other students in class. Writing Assignment- Explaining Insect Metamorphosis at the Family Dinner Imagine that you have left campus to spend the weekend with your parents and celebrate your uncle's 50th birthday. Your relatives are naturally curious that you are taking a course in entomology, and while sitting at the dinner table, your 9 year old cousin demands to know how a caterpillar can possible turn into a butterfly in only 4 or 5 days, and why doesn't a cockroach also metamorphose into a more attractive creature. Although you would prefer to dodge the question, you catch a stern look on your father's face and realize that the time has come to show your relatives what you have been learning down at college.
