West Indies defeat India by eight wickets, level T20I series 1-1

With another poor day on the field barring an exceptional sideways running catch from skipper Virat Kohli, the Indian bowlers were way of target, especially spinners Ravindra Jadeja (1/22 in 2 overs) and Yuzvendra Chahal (0/36 in 3 overs) were off the mark. West Indies' dominance was evident by the half-dozen sixes that they hit apart from 11 boundaries compared to five maximums by the hosts, four of which were hit by rookie all-rounder Shivam Dube. Simmons hot four sixes while Lewis hit three and it helped that the spinners didn't vary the length of their deliveries. Unlike first innings, when hitting through the line was difficult, it became easier in the second innings with ball coming onto the bat easily. Nicholas Pooran (38 off 18 balls) coming back after a brief ban on charges of ball-tampering, also added insult to injury with a couple of sixes and four boundaries. After the Bangladesh T20 in Delhi, this is the second time in last five games that India have lost trying to post a competitive score. Dube justified his promotion in the batting order with a smashing half-century but it was a struggle for the other Indian batsmen after being put into bat. Despite Dube's 54 off 30 balls, which had four huge sixes apart from three fours, India didn't get the required momentum during the death overs on a track where Caribbean seamers used a lot of back of length slower deliveries along with well-disguised short balls. The last five overs India couldn't get the required momentum as Rishav Pant (33 not out off 2 balls) tried his best couldn't connect the big shots. The variation enabled West Indies to compensate for the 13 wides and two no-balls that they bowled during the evening. Kesrick Williams after being subjected to humiliation from Virat Kohli, came back well with figures of 2 for 30 in four overs including the prized scalp of the Indian captain (19 of 17 balls). There was no 'Notebook Celebrations' but just a quiet 'finger on lips' this time around. The other bowler, who impressed was leg-spinner Hayden Walsh (2/28 in 4 overs), who pitched the ball good areas and was also able to get some sharp turn on his leg breaks. Left-arm spinner Khary Pierry who gave away only 11 runs from his 2 overs in the Powerplay, was surprisingly not called on to bowl again. The highlight of the Indian innings was giant Mumbai all-rounder Dube's big-hitting prowess which he finally displayed at the international level. The southpaw took a liking to the bowling of West Indies captain Kieron Pollard, smashing three huge sixes in the ninth over. He reached his maiden international fifty in 27 balls (4 sixes, two fours). Skipper Kohli, who decimated the Windies attack in the game on Friday, saw Dube go big, but couldn't get going, falling to Williams as he mistimed a cut. West Indies' ploy of bowling back of the length did work as the deliveries were not easily coming onto the bat making it difficult for hitting through the line. Only briefly, it was Dube, who got a hang of Pollard's slower ones and picked them up over deep mid-wicket region.

India needs laws to protect press from govt

Section 165 empowers an investigating police officer to raid the premises if he has 'reasonable grounds'. It is a subjective opinion. But when the police enter the premises they observe no limits. In 1987, the Rajiv Gandhi regime, afraid of reports on the Bofors scandal, ordered a raid on the premises of the Indian Express in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Cochin and other places on the pretext that the income tax and the customs acts had been violated. The officials tried to censor the news copy flow in the teleprinter department. The teleprinter room — before the Internet arrived — was the very hub of a newspaper office. It was from there that news was disseminated. Worse, the officials assaulted the photographers who shot their conduct, removing films from cameras. Clearly, some safeguard for privacy must be woven into the law. The press does not claim to be above the law; but the law must protect it in the discharge of its duties. The privacy of sources needs to be protected from random searches. One case illustrates the problem. In the Zurcher vs Stanford Daily, the university paper had evidence of a crime and threatened openly to destroy it if it knew that the police would come for it. Four police officers entered its offices to search for photographs of a clash between the police and demonstrators at the university hospitals. On May 31, 1978, the US Supreme Court ruled against the daily. Earlier in 1965, it had ruled in Stanford vs Texas that unrestricted power of search and seizure could also be an instrument for stifling liberty of expression. Hence the need for checks. It 'invalidated a warrant authorising the search of a private home for all books, records, and other materials relating to the Communist Party, on the ground that whether or not the warrant would have been sufficient in other contexts.' 'Where presumptively protected materials are sought to be seized, the warrant requirement should be administered to leave as little as possible to the discretion or whim of the officer in the field,' said the judgement. In 1978, the court spoke of 'neutral magistrates'. Does the species flourish in India? It held against 'rummaging at large in newspaper files or to intrude into or to deter normal editorial and publication decisions'. This logic applies also to NGOs surely. Concurring Justice Powell said: 'This is not to say that a warrant which would be sufficient to support the search of an apartment or an automobile necessarily would be reasonable in supporting the search of a newspaper office.' Therefore the press does need special protection. Justice Potter Stewart dissented: 'Policemen occupying a newsroom and searching it thoroughly for what may be an extended period of time will inevitably interrupt its normal operations, and thus impair or even temporarily prevent the processes of news-gathering, writing, editing and publishing. '…A search warrant allows police officers to ransack the files of a newspaper, reading each and every document until they have found the one named in the warrant, while a subpoena would permit the newspaper itself to produce only the specific documents requested. A search, unlike a subpoena, will therefore lead to the needless exposure of confidential information completely unrelated to the purpose of the investigation.' There was an uproar. 'Politically appointed' magistrates are no safeguard. News reporters preserve source material unused in their reports. 'The compelled production of a reporter's source materials can constitute a significant intrusion into the news-gathering and editorial process,' a judge points out, 'Like the compelled disclosure of confidential sources, it may substantially undercut the public policy favouring the free flow of information to the public that is the foundation for the (First Amendment) privilege.' In 1980 the US Congress passed the Privacy Protection Act. India needs such a law. It must substitute a sessions judge, if not, indeed, a high court judge, as the authority for a specific search warrant. The warrant must not only specify what is wanted but lay down a ban on a rummaging search. An official which violates the ban must be ordered personally to pay the fine. By arrangement with Dawn ...

YouTube shooting: Who is Nasim Aghdam?

An eye-witness, senior software engineer Zach Vorhies, told The Associated Press that before pulling the trigger, she yelled, 'Come at me, or come get me.' Another employee of the company said she was wearing glasses and a scarf. She was reportedly also an animal lover, and was quoted 2009 as saying, 'For me, animal rights equal human rights.' Sundar Pichai calls firing at YouTube HQs 'unimaginable tragedy' The suspect's father said she was angry with YouTube as it stopped paying her for videos she posted on her channel, reported AP. Ismail Aghdam added that he reported her missing on Monday after she didn't answer her phone for two days. When the police located her sleeping in a car and informed him, he reportedly warned them that she may go to the YouTube HQs. Her YouTube channel, nasim wonder1, is terminated by the company. Aghdam killed herself before law enforcement officers could reach her. The police found her body with a self-inflicting wound within minutes of arriving at the scene. They ruled out any angle of terrorism almost immediately.

Women taking OCP has smaller hypothalamus volume

This may be in part because validated methods to quantitatively analyze MRI exams of the hypothalamus have not been available. Michael L. Lipton, M.D., Ph.D., FACR, professor of radiology at the Gruss Magnetic Resonance Research Center said, "There is a lack of research on the effects of oral contraceptives on this small but essential part of the living human brain, we validated methods for assessing the volume of the hypothalamus and confirm, for the first time, that current oral contraceptive pill usage is associated with smaller hypothalamic volume." In his study, Dr Lipton and colleagues recruited a group of 50 healthy women, including 21 women who were taking oral contraceptives. All 50 women underwent brain MRI, and a validated approach was used to measure hypothalamic volume. "We found a dramatic difference in the size of the brain structures between women who were taking oral contraceptives and those who were not," Dr Lipton said. "This initial study shows a strong association and should motivate further investigation into the effects of oral contraceptives on brain structure and their potential impact on brain function." Other findings from the study, which Dr Lipton described as "preliminary," were that smaller hypothalamic volume was also associated with greater anger and showed a strong correlation with depressive symptoms. However, the study found no significant correlation between hypothalamic volume and cognitive performance. ...

Ranji Trophy: Game time for Test specialists, opportunity and hope for rest

With India playing two Tests against New Zealand, starting from third-week of February, the likes of Pujara (for Saurashtra), Ajinkya Rahane (Mumbai), Mayank Agarwal (Karnataka) Ravichandran Ashwin (Tamil Nadu), Umesh Yadav and Ishant Sharma (both rested on BCCI advice for their respective first games) are expected to feature in a significant number of games during the first two months. And sooner than later, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya are expected to play a few games to test their fitness before they are back in the national fold. Their presence will only lift the profile of the tournament as well as making it competitive. With Mayank grabbing his spot in the Indian team, he would relish the challenge of facing Ravichandran Ashwin, expected to come up with a bagful of tricks when Karnataka take on Tamil Nadu in a high-profile group B clash in Dindigul. Ashwin against Mayank and back in-form Karun Nair will be the marquee duel in the first-round games. Similarly, Rahane and Shaw will have their own checklists when Mumbai take on Baroda in an away match. Having made an impressive return in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 post doping ban, Shaw will be vying for the third opener's slot in the Test side or at least a place back in the India 'A' squad for the "shadow tour" of New Zealand in January. He will face stiff competition from Gujarat's Priyank Panchal, Bengal's Abhimanyu Easwaran and his former India U-19 teammate Shubman Gill of Punjab, who many consider to be as talented as the Mumbaikar if not more. Rahane, on his part, will like to make some big hundreds and see if he can sneak into the white ball squad in the wake of some good red ball performance even though it is highly improbable at the moment. For Pujara, it couldn't have been a better place to play the first game as Saurashtra take on Himachal Pradesh at Dharamsala in chilly conditions where Rishi Dhawan and company are expected to make the ball talk. A three-figure mark will be a special one as it will be his 50th first-class hundred. For Delhi, where off-field drama dominates news space, the team sans Ishant Sharma, who is expected to play some of the later games, will be banking on their pace trio of Navdeep Saini, Pradeep Sangwan and Pawan Suyal to unsettle a Kerala line-up which has the likes of Vishnu Vinod, Sachin Baby and Jalaj Saxena. Dhruv Shorey, Hiten Dalal and Nitish Rana will be hoping to give good account of themselves against Sandeep Warrier's back-of-the-length stuff and Basil Thampi's pace. Last but not the least is two-time defending champions Vidarbha, who probably will depend on Rajnish Gurbani's seam-up stuff in the absence of Umesh Yadav. But all eyes will be on 41-year-old Jaffer, who is only 853 runs shy of 20,000 first-class runs. Jaffer's insatiable appetite for runs, Ashwin's knack of showing who's the boss, Shaw's audacious strokeplay are what will make the months of December, January and February special.
