IPL spot-fixing probe live Updates From Day 1 : After Chavan, now Sreesanth confesses

12:20 pm: Author of book on match fixing in cricket says IPL and T20 easier to fix

In an exclusive interview with Firstpost, Ed Hawkins, the author of ‘Bookie, Gambler, Fixer Spy: A journey into the heart of cricket’s underworld’ explains why it is so much easier to fix T20 and IPL matches :

I think the Twenty20 format is easier to fix. First and foremost, players don’t take it seriously as seriously as Tests or ODIs, even when they are playing for their country. With the franchise teams which has no history, players are kind of parachuting in from all over the world so they have no loyalty to that franchise or their team-mates, who are most often rivals or opponents.12:20 pm: Author of book on match fixing in cricket says IPL and T20 easier to fix

Tips To Arrange your desktop for maximum productivity

Let’s be frank: you spend more time at your desk than is reasonable. Given that we live in the pale glow of monitor light, how we construct and maintain our workspace isn’t a small subject. Today we’re going to go over a few simple tips on how to best arrange your desk so that you can get more done, and do so more quickly than before. 

After all, if you are going to sit and type, you may as well get as much done as possible. Heck, get enough done, and you might get to go home early. Let’s begin. 

Desk: Size?: To be frank, you need space. Your chair-desk in college was roughly the size of a matchbox, but now that you are an adult, you deserve square footage. No, you likely don’t need a L-shape wrap around desk, or an X-shaped desk like the traders of yore, but you will need enough space to hold significant hardware – more on that in a moment. 

To be frank, you can spend as much money on a desk as you have, or as little. There are cheap, functional options however that I recommend. Head to your local Ikea or a similar store, and create your own. They have desk components that will allow you to quickly assemble a simple table-desk that will serve you perfectly. If you have a larger budget, don’t go overboard, and don’t buy something that you will worry about spilling on; many of us eat a decent portion of lunches at our desks, and to fret about spillage is just extra stress that you don’t need. Small note: The color of your desktop should be pleasing to your eyes. You will glance at it hundreds of times per day. Choose wisely. 

As an addendum to this, your chariot is something that you may want to spend a bit more on. A good office chair will help your posture, and general health. This is one item that is different for everyone. Sit in everything, and find what is best for you. I know a startup in San Francisco that provides flexible, short stools for its employees if they wish; they have proven so popular that half its office now uses the odd chairs. 

Monitors: You need one more than you currently have, unless you have five. If you have but one at the moment, a second will change your life far for the better. If you have two, a third will help you in ways you honestly cannot name until you have the fresh pixel space. Why do monitors matter? They extend your mind, essentially. No more do you have to quickly tab through applications and windows to interact with different sets of information; when you have sufficient monitors; simply pull up the data across your screens, and glance back and forth. This will save you minutes per hour, easily. 

I know that the social Internet isn’t for everyone, but if you are the sort of person who tracks Twitter, or Facebook, or Pinterest, or any other such tool, an extra screen will be more than revelatory – it will better sync you to the pulse of the Web that you are looking to command. Your friends will be shocked at how informed you are. 

Clutter: Clutter is the enemy of productivity in a desk environment. Banish it as if each soda can, wrapper, napkin, take-out box, and stray pen is an foreign soldier arrayed to destroy your output. Not only does such rubbish directly slow your physical motions as you type and beaver away, but the clutter on your desk will clutter your mind; distractions are to be minimized, and not encouraged. Whenever you stand up from your desk, put something away, or throw something away. If you stick to this simple rule, you will always have the neatest desk in your office. And, heck, this way everyone can gawk at your beautiful monitors and well-appointed desk without having to peer through foliage! 

Lighting: It may not be possible, but natural light is a beautiful addition to any desk. I don’t mean that it will make your setup look nicer – it may, but that is immaterial – but instead that it is good for your mind. A functional work environment is one in which you are supported, body and soul. If there is a window near you, open it. If there is a drape next to your desk, raise it. Even if the weather outside is a bit nasty, better connecting yourself to the physical world, even as you immerse yourself into the digital realm. Feeling a sunray on your face, or a cool breeze across your fingers as they type is surprisingly cathartic. You will smile. 

Health-conscious desk = more productive?: A trend in recent years has been the rise in health-focused desks and chairs. Whether these make you more productive is down to your personal taste, but if a healthy body equals a healthy mind, then from standing desks to exercise ball chairs, they’re worth considering. 

Small Bites: The team here at TNW are productivity fanatics. We asked around and were told a few things that our writers do to help keep their copy flowing, and their minds sane. 

A few examples: 

.- Large (and expensive) mousemats like the SteelSeries SX are worth their weight in gold. 
.- Keyboards come in all shapes and sizes, but once you go mechanical, you don’t go back. Buy a damned expensive keyboard. Again, this cannot be priced effectively, as once you fall in love with a professional set of keys, no one could buy it from you at any price. 
.- External noise is a foe, buy noise-cancelling headphones if you need them. You can make a cheap pair by slapping earmuffs over earbuds. 

Final Thoughts: It may be that your workspace isn’t flexible, or you lack space, or time, or funds to improve your setup. It’s okay, you can upgrade in small pieces. Every month, try to make one addition – or, critically, a subtraction – to your workstation. Your desk will thank you. Just keep in mind that your mind uses your desk and your desk helps your mind. So long as that relationship is clear to you, you’ll know what to do. Get working! 

Mahesh surprises his Make-up Man

Mahesh Babu rarely makes any public appearances and makes it a point to attend any events only if it is strictly necessary.

Apparently, Mahesh decided to attend the house warming ceremony of his make-up man Pattabi as soon as he returned from his vacation in Singapore. Needless to say, Pattabi was thrilled to have a guest like Mahesh in his new house.

Athough Pattabi had invited the actor for the special occasion, he wasn't sure if the Superstar would grace it to make it a memorable day. The make-up man was more than happy to know that Mahesh has catered some time to him, despite the busy shooting (film & ads) schedules and the family holiday.

On the film front, Mahesh Babu will join the next schedule of Sukumar's flick from May 9th. Kriti Sanon is playing the female lead and Mahesh's Son Gautham is making his acting debut with this action entertainer. Music is by Devi Sri Prasad. The film is slated for release in December this year. 

IPL 2013: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings- Preview

Hyderabad: Enjoying an unbeaten run at home, Sunrisers Hyderabad would be faced with a stiff challenge when they take on former champions and table-toppers Chennai Super Kings in an IPL match here on Wednesday.

Sunrisers have 14 points from 11 matches and a win tomorrow would take them closer to a berth in the IPL semifinals.

The Chennai Super Kings, who have won the title twice before, are at the top of the points table despite a humiliating defeat at the hands of Mumbai Indians in their previous match.

After winning a record-equalling seven matches in a row, CSK endured a miserable outing in Mumbai where Mahendra Singh Dhoni`s men were sent packing for a paltry 80, which was the season`s lowest team total.

 It came as a wake-up call for CSK, who would be expected to bounce back immediately given the presence of high-profile and in-form players in their ranks.

In an indication of his team`s readiness to learn from mistakes quickly, Dhoni, in fact, expressed happiness that the defeat came during the round-robin stage.

"I think it was a good wake-up call for us. With a few more games to go, we got it at the right time," Dhoni said.

Chennai`s batting line-up comprising Michael Hussey, Suresh Raina and Dhoni himself is the envy of other IPL teams.

In the bowling department, CSK boast of Albie Morkel, Mohit Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin, Chris Morris and Dwayne Bravo. All of them have done their bit and would be quite a handful for the Hyderabad batsmen.

However, Hyderabad have also been impressive, especially at home. With their collective effort, they clinched thrilling wins against formidable teams such as Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore. 

Sunrisers undoubtedly have the best bowling attack in the form of world`s top bowler Dale Steyn, Ishant Sharma and Amit Mishra, who is one of the highest wicket-takers in IPL-VI. The in-form Karan Sharma has also added to the bowling strength.

Batting had been a major area of concern for the Hyderabad side, but that has also shown marked improvement after injured Shikhar Dhawan and West Indies Captain Darren Sammy joined the team and struck form immediately.

Sri Lanka`s Thisara Perera has been quite useful with both ball and bat and young Hyderabad batsman G H Vihari chipped in with some significant contributions.

Captain Kumar Sangakkara`s poor batting, however, continues to be a massive headache.

The Teams (from):

Sunrisers Hyderabad: Kumar Sangakkara (C ), Cameron White, Akshat Reddy, Amit Mishra, Anand Rajan, Ankit Sharma, Ashish Reddy, Biplab Samantray, Cameron White, Chris Lynn, Dale Steyn, Darren Sammy, D B Ravi Teja, G H Vihari, Ishant Sharma, Karan Sharma, Nathan McCullum, Pathiv Patel, Prasant Padmanabhan, Quinton de Cock, Sachin Rana, Shikhar Dhawan, Sudeep Tyagi, T Sargunam, Thisara Perera and Veer Pratap Singh.

Chennai Super Kings: M S Dhoni (Captain), Akila Dananjaya, Albie Morkel, Srikkanta Anirutha, Ankit Rajpoot, Baba Aparajith, Ben Hilfenhaus, Ben Laughlin, Chris Morris, Dirk Nannes, Dwayne Bravo, Francois du Plessis, Imtiyaz Ahmed, Jason Holder, Michael Hussey, Mohit Sharma, Murali Vijay, Nuwan Kulasekara, R Karthikeyan, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Ronit More, Shadab Jakati, S Badrinath, Suresh Raina, Vijay Shankar and Wridhiman Saha. 

KOBALI - Pawan Kalyan-Trivikram's Third Movie

The title is sounding quite unusual but according to highly placed sources, director Trivikram's another upcoming venture with Powerstar Pawan Kalyan is titled as 'Kobali'. Here goes the story.

After delivering a blockbuster movie like 'Jalsa' some time back, powerful Telugu hero Pawan Kalyan and magical writer-director Trivikram joined hands for another movie. This flick is right now under production and a title is yet to be decided for it. But even before completing their second venture, Trivikram shared with close sources that he will be directing Pawan again for the film 'Kobali'. 'Bali' means offering animals or humans at some place to Gods for the sake of loka kalyanam and 'Kobali' is a rayalseema word depicting the same. Targeting this ritual Pawan will be now producing 'Kobali' on his Pawan Kalyan Creative Works banner. Much details of this project are yet to come.

At the moment, Pawan and Trivikram are busy caning a high octane action sequence at the Railway Station set in Ramoji Film City. Talented action choreographer Peter Heins is handling this sequence and it is heard that this will be the interval bang of the movie. Stay connected for updates.

Allu Arjun's Iddarammayilatho Story Leaked

Allu Arjun's characterization has two variations. At times he appears as a pop singer and the very next minute he will be seen as contract killer. Bunny meets Amala Paul who is trained classical dancer when his troop lands in Spain for a competition and falls head over heals for her. The protagonist decides to leave behind his contract killer job and continue as the singer as Amala likes nothing but music and dance.

At the same time, Catherine Thresa joins the Bunny's troop and tries everything she can to get closer to the hero. Both of them fall in love. The rival gang who are in search of Allu Arjun finds him and takes revenge by killing Catherine. Bunny turns violent here and ends up killing the baddies one after the other. Like any other commercial film, the story comes to an end with the death of the antagonist.
