The hosts have gone one-up in the series, making it a superb start for Kumble, who led from the front to register victory in his first Test as captain. The veteran leg spinner was also adjudged the Man of the Match for the seven wickets he claimed in the match. The 88 runs partnership between Tendulkar and Ganguly ensured that India clinched their seventh victory against Pakistan on Indian soil and also their seventh consecutive win at the Kotla. Though Ganguly provided Akhtar with his fourth wicket of the innings, Tendulkar remained not out on 56. The Men in Blue will go into the second match full of confidence but Pakistan will have some serious thinking to do. The next Test begins at Kolkata's Eden Gardens on Friday, November 30th.

Hedge fund renews assault on Compton
Compton Petroleum Corp. is under renewed assault from its largest shareholder, which is now dismissing the Calgary gas producer's latest business plan as "ill-conceived" and reiterating an earlier demand that it put itself up for sale in order to maximize value for investors. In a letter sent Tuesday to Compton – and filed with securities regulators – Centennial Energy Partners LLC managing member Peter Seldin said the New York hedge fund "completely" disagrees with the plan, unveiled Jan. 23, in which the energy company said its board believes "the most appropriate strategy to create value for all shareholders is . . . to continue to invest in the large growth potential of its asset base." The plan calls for capital spending of about $1.6-billion between 2008 and 2010, which amounts to about $400-million more than Compton's current stock market capitalization of $1.19-billion.
Winemakers can mimic the flavor in oak casks for less
Talk about oak in wine, and one might picture rows of barrels, each cask snuggled into the two below. Go on a winery tour, and you'll march past walls of barrel tops decorated with coopers' stylized logos and winemakers' chalked notes. Read an account of visiting a French cellar, and you'll see descriptions of weathered barrels. Perhaps even more than vines, barrels are the most iconic symbol of a winery. Wine and oak casks have been partners for centuries. But if you like oak character and relatively inexpensive wines, your nightly beverage probably didn't carry on that tradition. Modern wineries have started to oust barrels from their throne. Barrel alternatives - staves, chips and dust tossed into stainless steel tanks with the wine - have gained ground in cellars by offering winemakers new opportunities, mimicking the best aspects of casks and giving customers the oak-influenced flavor profile they want.
