HYDERABAD: The early exit of the Chennai Super Kings in the Champions League Twenty20 must not have gone down well with their fans but it seems to have done a world of good for the Indian team.
The loss gave skipper MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina a few extra days of rest and the rejuvenated Super Kings came back with a bang as India began the five-match ODI series against England with a resounding 126-run win on Friday.

Mrs. Saxobeat: Dev is on the verge of having her first solo Top Ten single.
Bamboozle knows how to pick them. In the past few years, the music festival has specialized in featuring young artists on the verge of mainstream success. Drake, Mike Posner and Wiz Khalifa followed up performances at Bamboozle 2010 with chart hits later that summer. When electro-rapper Dev performed on the Prom Stage at Bamboozle ’11, most of the crowd didn’t know who she was. Five months later, she’s got a Top 20 hit.
ASBURY PARK, NJ—Wall, New Jersey resident Jessica Charlotte Poland is one of those real home-grown musical surprises that we New Jerseyans keep up our sleeve. If you do any reading or browsing, you’ll see that New Jersey is full of musicians and artists that make contributions without the high-visibility of Los Angeles, New York and other areas. Jessica has quietly gone from a lanky dance class brat to a major label artist (Geffen/Interscope) with something interesting to say. She has been featured in Elle magazine, as well as The Bamboozle and The Warp tour’s annual compilation CD. Jessica showed on my radar after a mutual friend, Garen Gueyikian (Kill The Alarm), asked me to come check her out at The Saint.
My office is right above the Occupy Tampa protest site. The picture I see is very different than the one you showed in the paper. Most of the time, there are fewer than 10 people there. At busy times, there are as many as 20. The entire area they "occupy" is smaller than most conference rooms. Heck, a hot dog vendor would draw a bigger crowd.
Inside of six months, Livingston-based rock band Going Dark has gone from playing the famed Bamboozle Festival and playing before 9,000 while opening for Big Time Rush this past summer to two upcoming dream projects drummer and Livingston High School sophomore Alex Fogg continually called "crazy" and "surreal."
IT WASN’T referee Bryce Lawrence who cost South Africa their quarter-final game against Australia. It was their own bone-headed tactics.
It’s difficult to believe that a team has been refereed out of the game if it enjoys some 80 per cent of territory and more than 70 per cent of possession. But what did the Springboks do with all that possession? They passed to a big man who ran into a big man, then recycled the ball which was passed to another big man who ran into a big man. And they kept on doing this again and again. There was one spell when they went through some 20 single-pass phases and failed to advance more than a dozen yards. Stupidity is repeating the same action and expecting a different outcome.

What’s happening in Myanmar?
Is the country better known as Burma finally seeing real change, after almost four decades of military rule?
The signs that something genuine is happening are multiplying, although plenty of skeptics remain.

In 1911 -- propelled by 60 years of rampant political corruption, environmental degradation, and crony capitalism -- Californians gave themselves the entire Progressive agenda: the referendum and recall, direct election of United States Senators (which previously had been selected by the state Legislature), cross-registration of political candidates, and the requirement that nearly all public offices be officially non-partisan.
Every time I write a “World According to Gold” piece, gold is setting a new record, among a new crop of bubble-callers, and still the world hesitates to pile into gold for fear of getting burned. Many of those who have doubled or tripled their money have since died, retired, or simply kept on making money investing, succumbing to the addictive quality of wealth. The only other consistency with the new old record and another eponymous article, is that there is yet again more fiat capital in the system. But now, the rate at which capital fabrication is increasing is itself increasing. In other words, larger sums are required just to keep the international circle-jerk in motion.
You've got to hand it to David Beckham. He certainly knows how to make a little go a long way. Beckham’s rise to global stardom is, in one sense, bordering on the unbelievable.
Even in his prime he couldn’t outpace opponents or bamboozle them with his trickery. His heading prowess was conspicuous only by its absence.

NEVER LET it be said that 'Inside Right' isn't willing to suffer for the cause, lay his body on the line and take a right good battering, all in the name of sport.
You might think it's only players that suffer the bumps, bruises, sprains and breaks but being a supporter can also be a dangerous pursuit, fraught with all sorts of unexpected dangers.
WHERE did that one come from? Sunderland pulled off one of their best victories in several years when they toppled unbeaten champions Chester-le-Street in a five-star performance at Ashbrooke.
Even though Joe Coyne gave the Wearsiders a good start with an opening 65, there was no hint that the home side were on their way to a win as the efficient Chester bowling machine whittled its way slowly through the home line-up.
From the days of Sam Arkoff and Joseph E. Levine to the modern-day media gamesmanship of Harvey Weinstein and Michael Moore, the movie business has always been full of wily hucksters willing to use any outrageous stunt to get moviegoers to see their film.
Back in the 1950s, the B-movie producer William Castle released a cheesy horror film called "Macabre." Patently awful, the film is remembered today only for Castle's bravura marketing gimmickry. The producer took out a policy with Lloyd's of London, insuring every ticket buyer for $1,000 in case they died of fright, displaying a huge reproduction of the insurance policy over every theater marquee. Castle had hearses parked outside the theaters with fake nurses on hand in the lobbies. The movie was a huge hit, with audiences showing up just to see if anyone dropped dead.
Donald Trump is jumping ugly with Barack Obama -- and conservative voters should cheer this and would-be candidates should take notes. Frankly, I love the whole thing. That, however, should be the extent of conservatives' flirtation with the real estate billionaire.
As demonstrated for all to hear on Friday's Rush Limbaugh Show, Trump presents an incoherent political philosophy that is built mainly on the Perot-esque notion that we should vote for Trump because, well, he is Trump. Actually, part of me finds this very refreshing, but as a conservative I just can't get past the incoherent philosophy thing. Trump is bolder than 2 Bushes, a Dole and a McCain stylistically, but maybe even squishier on the big issues.

While announcing last year’s KCPE examination results, Education minister Sam Ongeri observed that performance in Kiswahili was dismal. This did not come as a surprise, as it has been the trend for a couple of years.
Many Kenyans received this news with anger and despondency, arguing that this should not happen because Kiswahili is our national language and also one of the two official languages.
Just for the record, the blood libel is a medieval legend blaming Jews for the ritual murder of Christian children, to drain their blood for use in secret religious rites.
It was frequently exploited after a child went missing, to bamboozle the peasants into slaughtering their Jewish neighbours, and was especially useful if the local spendaholic nobleman was in debt to the district moneylenders. These were inevitably Jews because the Church prohibited usury and it was one of the only job Jews were permitted to do – hence the the myth of the money-grabbing Jew. Indeed, in Plantagenet England there were several notorious episodes. The case of Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln is mentioned by Chaucer, and has become well known.
