Book Description
Software development has turned truly global - with requirement gathering and design at one location and program development at another. Cost advantage has moved more and more of the software life cycle activities to the developing nations like India and the Philippines. While outsourcing, many companies in the US and other Western countries find project management an area that needs improvement in the emerging service provider nations. Processes and teams across different geographical locations make the management all the more challenging. It is precisely this need that this book intends to address. The author has extensive management experience in IT projects in the manufacturing, banking and telecom domains and distils that experience to narrate the project management knowledge areas with real life examples and case studies. Many books and articles have described the challenges faced by the US project manager in dealing with a contractor in another country, but the remedial measures for this skill gap needs to emerge within the cultural context of the service provider nations. This book addresses this challenge primarily from an Indian perspective, which can be extended to many other developing nations. Billions of dollars of US and European projects are now being handled in India and other developing countries and thousands of project managers have to emerge from the talent pools of these countries to efficiently manage this investment .It is with an intent to develop these skills this book has been written.

It can be used as a manual for project recovery by project sponsors, owners, leaders, project managers and teams managing projects.

Book Description
The Austin Outlaws is a women's professional football team. They play full-contact NFL rules and have been doing this since the year 2000. Based in Austin, Texas, they play an eight game schedule in the spring of each year. In 2003 I started shooting action photos of Outlaws games and practices. In 2011 I started a blog to showcase my photos. Along with hundreds of photos, the blog includes my insights about football and any other subjects that interest me. It is a mixture of serious and silly, fun for me to do and fun for fans to visit. My blog server suggested creating a book of my blog posts - and this is that book. It is a collection of selected blog posts taken nearly exactly as they originally appeared in the blog. I've done some editing to adapt to the book format. The book is fun and a great keepsake for Austin Outlaw players. The blog is: http: //womenwhoplayfootballplus.blogspot.com/.

Book Description
The 1992–1995 battle for Sarajevo was the longest siege in modern history. It was also the most internationalized, attracting a vast contingent of aid workers, UN soldiers, journalists, smugglers, and embargo-busters. The city took center stage under an intense global media spotlight, becoming the most visible face of post-Cold War conflict and humanitarian intervention. However, some critical activities took place backstage, away from the cameras, including extensive clandestine trading across the siege lines, theft and diversion of aid, and complicity in the black market by peacekeeping forces. In Blue Helmets and Black Markets, Peter Andreas traces the interaction between these formal front-stage and informal backstage activities, arguing that this created and sustained a criminalized war economy and prolonged the conflict in a manner that served various interests on all sides. Although the vast majority of Sarajevans struggled for daily survival and lived in a state of terror, the siege was highly rewarding for some key local and international players. This situation also left a powerful legacy for postwar reconstruction: new elites emerged via war profiteering and an illicit economy flourished partly based on the smuggling networks built up during wartime. Andreas shows how and why the internationalization of the siege changed the repertoires of siege-craft and siege defenses and altered the strategic calculations of both the besiegers and the besieged. The Sarajevo experience dramatically illustrates that just as changes in weapons technologies transformed siege warfare through the ages, so too has the arrival of CNN, NGOs, satellite phones, UN peacekeepers, and aid convoys. Drawing on interviews, reportage, diaries, memoirs, and other sources, Andreas documents the business of survival in wartime Sarajevo and the limits, contradictions, and unintended consequences of international intervention. Concluding with a comparison of the battle for Sarajevo with the sieges of Leningrad, Grozny, and Srebrenica, and, more recently, Falluja, Blue Helmets and Black Markets is a major contribution to our understanding of contemporary urban warfare, war economies, and the political repercussions of humanitarian action.
