BlackRock to Buy Credit Suisse's European ETF Business: Reuters
BlackRock (BLK) has won the bidding for Credit Suisse's (CS) European ETF business, Reuters' Jessica Toonkel is reporting this afternoon.
The $17.6 billion ETF business was put up for sale about three months ago, according to Toonkel, and rival State Street (STT) is said to have dropped out of the bidding last month. It's the continent's fourth-biggest ETF business, with 58 ETFs and a 5.3% market share, she writes.

Trainer David Payne has confirmed that the 2014 Cox Plate will be the major Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival goal for Australian Derby winner Criterion.
Criterion was sent to the spelling paddock straight after his tough win in the Group 1 Australian Derby (2400m) at Royal Randwick on April 12 and according to Payne the Sebring colt has thrived in his time away from the stable.
Payne said last month that he was still tossing up whether to set Criterion for the Group 1 Caulfield Cup (2400m) at Caulfield on October 18 or the Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m) at Moonee Valley on October 25, but he told Sky Racing HQ this morning that he will be targeting the Australasian Weight-For-Age Championship with the two-time Group 1 winner.
"He is back and his main mission this year is the Cox Plate," Payne said.
"He went out a boy and I think that he has come back a man.
"He has put on weight and he is a much stronger horse.
"I am quite excited about the future of him.
"Early on in his career he cost himself a few races by being a little slow out of the barriers, he was a real baby, but the latter part of the year he put it together."
Criterion was originally purchased by owner Sir Owen Glenn to be a Golden Slipper contender, but the rising four-year-old has improved each time that he has been stepped up in distance during his racing career.
The talented galloper took out the Lidoran Group Plate (1100m), Listed Black Opal Stakes (1200m) and Group 2 Todman Stakes (1200m) as a two-year-old and was far from disgraced in both the Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) and Group 1 Champagne Stakes (1600m), but he made a slow start to his three-year-old preparation.
Criterion returned to a semblance of his best form with a second place finish behind Eurozone in the Group 2 Stan Fox Stakes (1500m) and flew home late to finish second in the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes (2000m) before coming from the tail of the field to finish fourth in the Group 1 Victoria Derby (2500m).
The three-year-old started his autumn preparation with a promising fourth place finish in the Group 3 CS Hayes Stakes (1400m) at Flemington on February 15 before charging home late to finish second behind Shamus Award in the Group 1 Australian Guineas (1600m) at the same venue a fortnight later.
Criterion returned to Sydney for the Group 1 Royal Randwick Guineas (1600m) and produced one of the most disappointing performances of his career, but he relished the wet conditions a fortnight later in the Group 1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m) to score a maiden Group 1 win and proved that was no fluke with his Australian Derby victory.
Criterion is currently available at odds of $26 in the Cox Plate betting market at Ladbrokes Australia.

Mythology is the issue
[If you think that you and your sympathizers are doing Heehs a disservice by giving him the importance that you are bestowing upon him, you are mistaken. Because it is people like yourself who have made Heehs larger than life. In fact, Heehs seems to occupy some of your lives more than Sri Aurobindo does. Subhas "Subjugating Jugal": Savitri Era at 4:29 PM, July 30, 2011 5:38 PM]
[A letter from "Anonymous Devotee" January 19, 2011
Several passages from Peter reflect nothing but pure personal speculation that has no place in a biography purporting to be an objective record of facts and events. The most striking example of this type concerns his treatment of Sri Aurobindo's motives in writing the play Vasavadatta. This is just plain silly, so silly that one should not even take offence to it. Sri Aurobindo explored all facets of human nature in his literary creations, and to think that what he wrote must be an echo of his own inner thoughts and feelings is baseless. But again, is it hostile? To say so is simply giving Peter too much 'credit', if one may use the word, for his abilities, as this would imply a level of subtle shrewdness that he nowhere shows himself capable of – he wields his pen more like a bludgeon than a scalpel.
Being foolish and deliberately trying to denigrate Sri Aurobindo are completely different things, and we are doing a disservice to ourselves and the community by mixing them up – this point cannot be repeated enough. Could not Peter simply be trying to be too clever by half, to fulfill his desire to somehow be accepted by mainstream academia, something that has not yet come his way? When this obvious and straightforward option of explaining his excesses is available, why must we overestimate his capacities, his scholarliness, and posit something far-fetched and complicated that just isn't there?
Here lies the delicious irony: both the Right and the Left overrate the calibre of Peter Heehs – the difference is one side sees masterly Machiavellian manipulativeness, and the other sheer academic brilliance. The boring reality is that Peter has done a commendable job of gathering information, in many places his account is highly readable and refreshingly objective, but, again ironically, he is guilty of the same shortcoming he himself has seen in hagiographical accounts: in parts he could not resist inserting his own personal opinions amidst the recounting of the events in the life of Sri Aurobindo. And with refinement and subtlety not being his forte, he was always bound to ruffle some feathers. Yet we must not forget that the arguably offending passages are relatively few in number in a book of over 500 pages, and these should not be allowed to colour too strongly our perception of the book as a whole – herein lies the importance of reading at least substantial parts of the book before forming an opinion, because then one sees that the hostility hypothesis put forward by Rightists who quote selectively does not hold water.]
[RK said... Dear Govind, I like your honesty. You might find this surprising, but I also agree with the points you mention, about subtexts and contexts. Yes, I have read the book, in full. The contentious portions I have read and reread numerous times - casting myself in various roles, as a so-called devotee, an aspiring yogi, an intellectual, a lay-reader, an Easterner, a Westerner, and finally just as myself, the composite mix of all these personalities.
And now I will surprise you once again. I don't find the book particularly outstanding. There are even statements in it I disagree with, strongly. There are portions, long passages, I find inspired and beautiful, at times even revelatory. I am impressed with the quantum of research, and the scope of his attempt, though at times I wished Peter would let down his intellectual guard, and speak about Sri Aurobindo with more open admiration and love. But this is his book, and not mine. So I am not enamoured of TLOSA. But really, Govind, even after reading it as many times as I did, I failed to find the "denigration". There is nothing in the book that 'cancels out' what is good, turns all the rest into 'poison'. Utter nonsense to say these things. … RK 12:04 AM, November 23, 2010 RK 12:05 AM, November 23, 2010 A.A.D. 8:22 PM, November 25, 2010]
Assuming the author of all these as one, it can easily be argued that the issue is definitely not Heehs (or his removal). Not even whether the book is good or bad or tolerable. The issue, to me, is what happens to the mythology with which I have lived all these years? Should it be allowed to be vandalized by all and sundry? It's purely a personal perception where other perspectives are not of much help, howsoever considered or valuable they may be. To recall an old ad-line, Why should I compromise? [TNM55]

Guha is wrong to club all devotees as rooting for ban
[Amrinder Pahuja - thanxx fr such a nice knowledge abt Sri Aurobindo. i was a great follower of his sayings as i studied in the school which was named after him. 10:12 PM]
Tusar N. Mohapatra - Yeah, the school is a great opportunity. Later on, of course, it's purely voluntary and takes an effort to follow his words. [TNM55]
Tusar N. Mohapatra - We should be thankful to Ramachandra Guha for bringing the issue of The Lives of Sri Aurobindo to the mainstream media, albeit belatedly. It is a planted piece, no doubt, but if it stimulates debate at a wider level, then something good might emerge from the whole exercise.
Guha has rightly noted, "Heehs is gently skeptical" of Sri Aurobindo; and this, in fact, is the crux of the matter. Where is the safety if such a person is entrusted with the charge of guarding the entire works of the Masters? Moreover, why should a hostile person be accommodated within the Ashram at all?
Guha is wrong to club all devotees as gunning for the biography. Savitri Era Party, for instance, has been consistently demanding publication of the book in

Evolution enlarges our faculties
[Getting to the point Mukul Sharma, ET, 29 Jul 2011
Cosmology, which studies the history and structure of the universe, is considered by many to be the closest science has ever come to religion. It digs deep and delves into contemplations of how and why the universe came into being, where it's headed and what might be the final outcome in the end. …
There are about a hundred billion stars in our galaxy alone and about a hundred billion galaxies altogether. … Religion, on the other hand, believes its faith points in some direction with a purpose.]
[On the complexity of society and social sciences – here's my latest column in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. by Don Boudreaux. Reality is like that. It's complex. The economy is especially so. ...
The zillions of decisions made daily by the billions of people in today's global economy simply cannot be predicted -- and the detailed consequences of these decisions cannot be predicted -- with the kind of precision that we take for granted in many of the natural sciences.]
Robert Lucas, the Nobel Prize winner, says that 'for income growth to occur in a society, a large fraction of people must experience changes in the possible lives they imagine for themselves and their children…economic development requires a million mutinies'.] 1:41 PM
[Kant and Hegel, yet again from The Pinocchio Theory - Jul 25, 2011
Basically, Kant posits a limit beyond which thought cannot go — we cannot know things in themselves. Hegel's critique of Kant is that, since thought is positing the limit, thought must always already be able to see beyond the limit; for Hegel, the idea of inaccessible things-in-themselves is bogus, because it is our thought that has first posited them *as* inaccessible. This is what Hegel says, and it is repeated time and time again by later Hegelians, e.g. by Zizek.]
When Sri Aurobindo affirms that the unknown is not unknowable, he invokes evolution within the framework of history having the potential to enlarge our faculties. Thus, by the simultaneous process of ascent and descent, the Kantian limit is breached and progressive cross-border integration occurs. The riddle of the universe vanishes once this concurrent dialogue between the finite and the infinite is presupposed. This integral assumption, therefore, is the cornerstone of the unique Sri Aurobindian Ontology. [TNM55]

Breivik spurs us to remember Eric
One thing we sorely miss in the Auro-blogosphere. Plays of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are hardly discussed or even referred to. Heehs has made Vasavadatta famous but there are scores of other characters as well. They should have been our pet similes and food for metaphors, but somehow we are all found lacking. Ex-students, who have chewed them for years, perhaps dread to face them again. Elders might be avoiding certain turn of phrase and moments which are purportedly un-yogic. Overall, ignorance and indifference may be the prime reason. Maybe, Breivik spurs us to remember Eric. [TNM55]

Subjugating Jugal
[Re: Of the sly and insidious Method ... if people hurl bricks at you by RY Deshpande on Wed 24 Mar 2010 04:01 AM IST | Profile | Permanent Link "ON THIS SITE IN 1897 NOTHING HAPPENED"
This is an interesting roadsign, but read the date as 1993 when the Revised Edition of Savitri was published. It could also be used for the year 2008, the year of publication of The Lives of Sri Aurobindo brought out by the Columbia University Press. ~ RYD]
[Re: Of the sly and insidious Method ... let us get down to the specifics by Sandeep on Wed 31 Mar 2010 05:59 AM IST | Profile | Permanent Link "arrogant, pompous and self-styled scholars and "visionaries" such as Mr. RYD himself."
It is a weakness of the Indian mind that any emphatic assertion of an opinion is automatically conflated with an inflated Ego. In
, people are raised to be deferential (to elders, to the authorities - and in this case Ashram Trustees) so any attempt to question conventional wisdom inevitably results in some such derisive response from a member of the audience. India
There could be many different reasons, high and low, for disagreeing with someone. On the low side, it could be an inability to restrain oneself from ranting. On the high side, a good poet may be able to perceive defects in a poem which an ordinary reader cannot, just as a civil engineer may quickly isolate defects in building construction which a longtime resident may not even notice.
"It is rather disheartening to see an elderly member of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram behave in such an infantile, immature and even ridiculous manner, particularly publicly."
Well, at least RYD is "misbehaving" on a blog and not through a biography like Heehs!
Again, the Indian mind automatically understands the importance of institutional allegiance, which the Western mind (and one Westernized Indian) seems to have difficulty accepting.]

Adversarial politics is bound to be vicious; effective attacks by parties on each other can be an instrument of accountability. But these attacks ought to measure up to the challenges at hand, not exacerbate them.]
Subhas is indignant at our self-promotion, but the blame should lie at the door of Spencer who had diagnosed the survival of the fittest. Strangely, however, he seems to be happy when Heehs is on such a spree, as though the latter holds the sole birthright. Upon successfully subjugating Jugal's dissenting voice, Heehs has been enjoying as the unchallenged knight for two decades till he ran amuck in 2008. He had the draconian grip over every comma or question mark emanating from the Ashram. Now, understandably, the Net is a pain in his neck. [TNM55]

Savitri Era Religion is the right alternative
[Anders Breivik & Europe's blind right eye The Hindu - Praveen Swami – July 25, 2011
, there are several important lessons. Like's India Europe's mainstream right-wing parties, the BJP has condemned the terrorism of the right — but not the thought system which drives it. Its refusal to engage in serious introspection, or even to unequivocally condemn Hindutva violence, has been nothing short of disgraceful. Liberal parties, including the Congress, have been equally evasive in their critique of both Hindutva and Islamist terrorism.
Besieged as India is by multiple fundamentalisms, in the throes of a social crisis that runs far deeper than in Europe, with institutions far weaker, it must reflect carefully on Mr. Brevik's story — or run real risks to its survival.]
[Norway killer's pro-Hindutva rant has Sangh squirming Times of India - NEW DELHI: Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik's ringing endorsement of Hindutva and Hindu nationalists has left saffron leaders embarrassed. ... Norway attacks: Breivik's manifesto quotes pro-Hindutvaideology Daily Bhaskar]
Naïve condemnation of religion is no solution for the grim reality humanity faces at the moment. A new mythology surrounding The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and their direct disciples is already in place. Besides, the rational bulwark available in black and white is their most powerful and convincing contribution. It's only by popularizing the Savitri Era Religion that an alternative world order based on love and harmony can come into being. [TNM55]

Ethics and aesthetics in Integral Advaitism
[Kant and Hegel, yet again from The Pinocchio Theory by Steven Shaviro
Or else, as I prefer — following Whitehead as I understand him — we can invert the order of the Critiques so that the 3rd critique comes first — becoming, as Whitehead put it, a critique of feeling, which makes the other critiques unnecessary — that is to say, aesthetics precedes cognition — we affect and are affected by other things aesthetically before we cognize those other things, and even (or especially) when we cannot cognize them adequately.
We cannot *know* things in themselves, or things apart from their correlation with us; but we can, as Harman rightly suggests, allude to them, i.e. refer to them metaphorically or indirectly. And we can, as well, be aesthetically *moved* by them — indeed, this is the primordial mode of actual contact among entities (and in saying this, I am espousing a Whiteheadian version of SR which differs from Harman's object-oriented ontology).]
Sri Aurobindo also assigns the locus of ethics and aesthetics in widely differing regions, but significantly, they are united at the source in his unique Integral Advaitism. Shaviro's "aesthetics precedes cognition" thesis surely seems to be a perceptive portrayal, but conceiving a too rigid distinction between how the two domains reign over us can be a bit dicey. [TNM]

Greek translated into Latin entails a fall
[On Blanchot and Writing from Per Caritatem by Cynthia R. Nielsen
It can be argued, perhaps, that it was not until Blanchot, who lived at the junction of phenomenology and poststructuralism, and within the milieu of post-World War II French philosophy, that writing finally could be accorded its inherent ethical essence, that the intrinsic ethical nature of writing could be uncovered. Is it simply that thinkers since Plato never fully examined the phenomenality of written language? Perhaps so. Approaching an answer to such a question is beyond the scope of this project.
Nonetheless, we can most likely agree that Heidegger's work on language began to set the stage for this rather late development that sought to locate ethics within writing. Heidegger's verdict—"Die Sprache ist das Haus des Seins." —begins to reveal not only the ethos (ήθος qua dwelling—das Haus—as well as ethics) of language but also—and equally important to Blanchot's project—the daof Dasein, the thereness of human being which Blanchot, by way of Lévinas, will come to understand as the terrible il y a of non-relational, neutered ontology.
For both Lévinas and Blanchot, language serves as the only escape from neutered being. Lévinas comes to understand, at least initially, dialog and conversation (interpellation) as the site where relational metaphysics (ethics) can occur. We need to remember, however, that for Lévinas, one's subjectivity is always already riddled with alterity. That is, I cannot (ever) be myself without the (prior and primordial) dispersion of identity across the differential field of otherness.]
[(title unknown) from enowning Iain Thomson on the Meyer Roman fountain poem.
"The Origin of the Work of Art" make the contentious case that this ontological diminution "begins" when concepts central to the ancient Greek understanding of being get translated into Latin without a full experience of what those concepts originally revealed. Hence the obvious appeal for Heidegger of Meyer's suggestive line: "Veiling itself, this [first basin] overflows / Into a second basin's ground". What remained of these ontological "riches" in the medieval world was then transposed into and reduced further in the modern epoch which, like the fountain's third basin, stands at the furthest remove from its original source.
It thus seems clear that Heidegger included Meyer's poem because he believed it suggestively illuminated the way the history of being unfolds as a history of decline, a "fall" which results from this history's increasing forgetting of the source from which it ultimately springs—the Ur-sprung or "origin" of Heidegger's essay's title—in a word: "Being" (Sein), Heidegger's famous name for the source from which all historical intelligibility originates (by way of the disclosive "naming-into-being" which Heidegger understands as the "poetic" essence of art).

The verdict of renowned people like Nissim Ezekiel and P. Lal on Sri Aurobindo's poetry is well-known, but we treat them as trash. 20th Century Philosophy, similarly, is the crest jewel of human thought and longing, and hence, overlooking stray critical comments pertaining to it would be more rewarding for young learners.

I do believe they hide secrets
[(title unknown) from enowning - John D. Caputo on Martin Hägglund's Radical Atheism, from The Journal for Cultural and Religious Theory 11.2.
Badiou's use of St. Paul, whom he interprets in terms of the truth-making event, while dismissing the actual content this event (the resurrected Christ) provides a more recent example. This leads to the question of which came first, the religious form of life or the philosopheme, the ontology or the "unavowed" theology. It was considerations of just this sort that led Derrida to speak of a religion without the doctrines and dogmas of religion, and this lay behind his musings on the relative priority of the messianic and the concrete messianisms or the "unavowed theologemes" that lay behind philosophy.]
[Style « Larval Subjects 25 Apr 2008 – Hopefully I have enough "cred" to inveigh against "difficult books" (I am, after all, mired in the work of figures such as Deleuze, Lacan, Hegel, etc., who are the worst of the worst), but I have increasingly found myself suspicious of the "difficult work". On the one hand, I read texts in the sciences that express extremely complex ideas in very basic prose. Somehow I'm just unwilling to concede that what Hegel is trying to talk about is any more difficult or complex than what the biologist, complexity theory, economic social theorist, ecologist, or quantum physicist is attempting to articulate. This leads to my concern. I wonder if terribly dense styles such as we find in figures like Deleuze, Lacan, Hegel, Derrida, etc., etc., etc., aren't a form of intellectual terrorism. Please do not misunderstand me. I am not referring to the quality of their concepts or arguments.What I am referring to is a general writing strategy that demands so much work on the part of the reader in the art of interpretation, that by the time you've managed to make heads or tails of what Lacan is arguing or Hegel is seeking to articulate or Deleuze is seeking to theorize, you have so much invested that you simply cannot think critically about that figure. …
Does this mean I cease to read such figures or reject them out of hand? No. I do believe they hide secrets. … I've spent my fair amount of time defensively defending the writing style of figures such as Lacan, Derrida, Heidegger, Deleuze, etc., etc., etc. What I realize is that what I was defending was not their style but the value of their concepts and arguments despite their style.]
I too had heard Derrida in
in 1997 without understanding a word of his lecture, but I won't blame him for that. The memory of meeting him, however, is now a cherished treasure. [TNM55 - Re: Integral Leadership by Anurag Banerjee Thu 21 Jul 2011 Permanent Link] New Delhi

Heidegger is trying to put us back into the texture of lived-experience
[(title unknown) from enowning In-der-Blog-sein - The Chasm on the poetry in the work of art.
It should be understood that Heidegger is trying, again, to put us back into the texture of lived-experience where we experience the work itself. As such, to say that art sets into motion the work of truth indicates the work has something to say, some meaning relevant to our participation with it, yet it does not arise solely from us like some noncognitivism. Instead, the art work creates meaning. Thus, we can understand why poetry is chosen. In poetry, there is no structure, no set or established rules to communicate or convey its message. Often, poetry is short, concise and plays at the boundaries of what we think the structure of language could be, and it still achieves to produce meaning. In producing meaning, the work also preserves the truth it set into motion.]
The problem is rather accentuated as we feel battered by the spasmodic Heehs imbroglio. But to let that cloud our perspective for ever won't mean depriving ourselves the opportunity to "Wade through the brook and tramp through the snow?"

The contribution of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo to the 20th Century theory and practice is complex and wide ranging. Hence it is befitting that diverse layers of their influence would be studied with appropriate academic rigour and diligence through varied lenses catering to multiple interests. Their being the Divine and Supreme Gurus doesn't invalidate the elaborate human action that they have performed so compassionately. They are dear to us especially for this nearness which conceals the greatest appeal and within the overarching safety of which we may well stare at them form whichever angle we feel like.

Social effectiveness and life-satisfaction
[Re: Four movements of consciousness "devindersingh" devgulati@..., dgulhati Sun Jul 17, 2011 3:24 am
In his exhaustive work, The Problem of aryan Origins: an Indian point of view, (second enlarged edition, Aditya Prakashan,
, 1992), (the late) KD Sethna presents his thesis countering the popular view of history. Presented below are excerpts from Pradip Bhattacharya's article High Adventure In Historiography in the commemorative volume brought out in November 1994 on the occassion of his ninetieth birtday "Amal Kiran Poet And Critc" edited by Nirodbaran and R.Y. Deshpande.] New Delhi
The latter may be a surprise to those who have been brought up on the virtues of "ego-strength", but there is convincing scientific evidence that the detachment furthered by yoga and meditation actually does lead to greater social effectiveness and life-satisfaction. An anecdotal but almost certainly historical support for this comes, besides, in the form of the life of the Buddha, a living example of selflessness, and yet, one of the most influential individuals who ever lived.]
As no modern examples have been cited, attributing "scientific evidence" to a multi-layered myth like "the life of the Buddha" seems like quicksand. [TNM55]

Smith's butcher is no longer a lone agent of pastoral vintage
One of the basic rules of investment is: Let your money work for you. Thus Adam Smith's the butcher, the brewer, & the baker are no longer lone agents of pastoral vintage but rather are multiple actors representing various asset classes of their diversified portfolios. This has contributed immensely to the complexity of modern economy as the normal human sentiments like greed and fear are not the predominant drivers.
Voluntary simplicity, similarly, exerts an unusual influence upon the life of a nation when practiced on a large scale. Thanks to our modern religious teachers, austerity per se has ceased to be seen as a virtue. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's unequivocal stand on money and economy is a distinct manifesto for the future world to follow. Savitri Era Party endeavours to disabuse people of discredited economic ideas. [TNM55]

Being an empty vessel
Subhas didn't relish the Conversations of the Dead analogy, so let's try Kargil where Pakistani infiltrators had occupied high altitude vantage points to the great disadvantage of the Indian Army combating from below. Subhas, similarly, has a clear line-of-sight advantage here, while I grapple with his many avatars such as Subbu et al in darkness.
Recalling the Zen master's counsel, I don't take his parting dig of being an empty vessel as a pejorative. But Subhas must reveal what are the things he is stuffed with. What is his past record and what has been his role during the Heehs imbroglio? Otherwise, a murderer can as well pose as a saint in his anonymous comments. Why Subhas is unable to understand this simple methodological anomaly is quite perplexing. [TNM55]

Mistrust permeates the Ashram fraternity
We hope that all the Savitri drafts, particularly in Sri Aurobindo's hand, are absolutely safe. We also hope that there is no tampering done with them. ~ RYD]
Subhas insists that everything is hunky-dory in the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry while we suspect hanky-panky. The comment above is testimony to the mistrust that permeates the Ashram fraternity and how those at the helms have abdicated all obligations of accountability and transparency. "Dignified silence" is proving to be the antithesis of "the universal laws of decent behaviour."
We can ill afford, at this juncture, to leave things to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and sit tight. Now is the time for unified collective action and mobilizing public opinion. [TNM55]

Wrestling with a ghost is a bewildering proposition
Sri Aurobindo has liberally used imaginary dialogues in prose as well as poetry in his inimitable style. Sri Aurobindo: A Dream Dialogue with Children by Nirodbaran & Freedom and Future—an Imaginary Dialogue with Sri Aurobindo by Daniel Albuquerque come to the mind in this context.
Wrestling with a ghost is a bewildering proposition and Subhas' invitation for spinning imaginary dialogues with an imaginary character is undoubtedly an unenviable situation. At any rate, it is gratifying to learn that our quantum of muck is woefully insufficient to move the mandarins and hence we multiply our decibel level. [TNM]

Heehs' hounds rue that they don't control the Internet
Heehs' hounds rue that they don't control the Internet. Having ruled the Sri Aurobindo Ashram by proxy and with wile for long, they are infuriated over the bad press they get regularly. Stoutly defending Das Gupta, itself, generates suspicion, and they do it so shamelessly that one feels pity for their bonded labourer status. Just because the majority of the devotees have no means to bother about the Ashram's malfunctioning, it is erroneous to assume that none would. [TNM55]

Manoj Das Gupta must go
Subhas wants debate and asks specific questions, but is unwilling to disclose his identity and antecedents. This is an unfair game into which no sane person would prefer to enter. At places, he sounds like a spokesman of the Ashram and uses specious logic to defend his stand. And obviously, none would buy that.
To say that the Ashram belongs to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is to say nothing. Various demands repeated over and over again on behalf of the Savitri Era Party are loud and clear. The tenure of the trustees needs to be fixed and Manoj Das Gupta must make way for others on account of overage and overservice. What has happened in the case of Satyam and Sathya Sai Ashram must be prevented at all costs. [TNM]

Ashram's silence might lead to scams
[Subhas said, July 6, 2011 at 2:17 pm
Secondly, to the best of my knowledge, the Sri Aurobindo Ashram is known for its un-intrusive attitude and approach and does not interfere with the doings of others, … But do you expect a spiritual institution such as the Ashram to stoop so low and even indulge in such futile bickering or try to make statements that resemble the press releases of motivated political parties?
Understandably, whether individuals such as Srimati Shyam Kumari or Mr. Peter Heehs or Mr. Nandhivarman feel the need to express their opinions, beliefs, findings and analysis of their work – whether obtained by more or less scholarly means – appears to be of little concern to the Sri Aurobindo Ashram.]
Subhas claims an exalted status for the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and justifies its silence. But, the same "spiritual institution" files reams of refutations in various courts from time to time the contents of which never come to the notice of the inmates and devotees. Pushing dirt under the carpet is certainly not good for the health of the Ashram, and all stakeholders need to be more vigilant and not mere supplicants. [TNM55]

Subhas' Achilles' heel
[Comment on Sri Aurobindo's Hindi poem by Subhas
"The Lives of Sri Aurobindo" authored by an inmate of the Ashram, one Mr. Peter Heehs which evoked mixed responses from the various members of the Ashram.]
Heehs' hounds are proliferating so fast that their number might soon surpass Homer's characters. The comment above is, undeniably, well written and well argued, but just one superfluous word, "one" preceding "Mr." mars the whole persuasion.
The fact of the matter is that Peter Heehs was not just "one" but "the" Chief of the Archives and "the" Editor of CWSA. Thus, equating him with Shyam Kumari amounts to deceptive twisting of recent history in order to justify and rationalize the hostile biography written by him. QED: Subhas' ploy flounders. [TNM55]

New Member-And I need a boat
Just saying Hello. I'm a new member to the community and just saying hi. That being said, I'm also ready...finally...after a lot of hard work and a few years gone by....ready to buy my boat. So if anyone knows of something available in the 30'-34' range...let me know.
Re: New Member-And I need a boat
Sailboatlistings.com is a good place to start. You can filter by length, price, age, location, and more.
Re: New Member-And I need a boat
OK, first of all, there are tons of boats available. Check Yachtworld.com, boattraderonline.com, sailboat listings.com and others.
A few questions...
Location? Where are you and how far are willing to go to get a boat? Do you want to sail small rivers or lakes or do you need something capable of crossing oceans? Type of sailboat wanted? Do you want a pure racer, floating condo or some combination of the two? Need something for occasional overnighting or weeks at a time? How many people will typically be on board?
Budget? $20,000 or $200,000?
Re: New Member-And I need a boat
Wow I actually got some replies. Very cool. I'm sure in the coming months I will have a lot of questions while I'm getting ready so I sure appreciate it. I've been looking at all those sites for about 5 years now. Just haven't been in the position to buy until now. I'm looking for a boat for 1, just me. Something small as I'm not into fancy equipment nor do I need tons of room. I've only sailed a 25' C & C which I lived on for about 3 months. I would like a bit more room that that, but I'm a very simple person. I'm not sure what the plans are, but in a couple months when I find one and move aboard, I don't have any time restraints, so I would like to hit the East Indies for a while, 6 months, a year...not sure, and then decide if I want to head west.
I do have my eye on a few boats, such as the Island Packet 31, Westsail 32, Contessa 32, Cape Dory 30 cutter, and the Niagara 31. If anyone has any input on any of these or have sailed any of these I would appreciate any information. I have been looking at older boats because I just really want a solid rig and proven track record. That's my story. Thanks for the help.
Re: New Member-And I need a boat
We have a 2002 34 foot Carver aft cabin motor yacht for sale in Alexandria, VA. You can look it up on YachtWorld or Shady Oaks Marina and Yacht Sales.
Re: New Member-And I need a boat
Re: New Member-And I need a boat
Thanks but I purchased an Island Packet recently and it's currently on the hard getting some work done on the bottom.

Car hits CVS in Champaign; child injured
UPDATED 12:55 p.m. Saturday
CHAMPAIGN — A car ran into the front window of the CVS store at Green and Neil streets in Champaign shortly before noon on Saturday.
A child inside the store was hit and taken by ambulance to a hospital. The child was awake and responsive.
According to Champaign police spokeswoman Rene Dunn, Emma L. Shelton, 88, put her car into drive when she intended to put it in reverse, and drove into the glass-enclosed entrance to the building.
The 3-year-old child was hit by the car and pieces of the safety glass from the store window, Dunn said, and was taken to Carle Hospital in Urbana. The hospital had no information available on the child.
No tickets were issued, she said, because the building is on private property.

Why can't they issue a ticket?! If someone robbed the store, the police would certainly respond. All businesses are on private property except for the UI research park. I can't believe there's no accountability here. I certainly hope the child is fine -- and Ms Shelton has insurance so the family isn't stuck with any medical bills.

Boris Johnson will lend his support to the campaign for Britain to leave the EU at the referendum in June, The Independent understands.
The Mayor of London will officially announce which camp he will be behind when his column for the Daily Telegraph is released at 10pm on Sunday night.
But after listening to David Cameron put the case for remaining in the bloc on the Andew Marr Show, Mr Johnson has made up his mind and will campaign for "out", informed sources have said.
Those lobbying for Britain to leave the bloc have been courting the mayor for some time, hoping he will prove a popular figurehead alongside the likes of Michael Gove, Iain Duncan Smith and Nigel Farage.
It is a blow for the Prime Minister, who issued a personal plea to Mr Johnson to join him in supporting the re-negotiation deal agreed with Brussels.
"I would say to Boris what I say to everybody else, which is that we will be safer, we will be stronger, we will be better off inside the EU," the Mr Cameron told Andrew Marr.
"I think the prospect of linking arms with Nigel Farage and George Galloway and taking a leap into the dark is the wrong step for our country."
Mr Farage said earlier he expected Mr Johnson to join the Leave campaign, telling Sky News' Murnaghan show: "I think he will, and 'hurrah' is all I can say to that.
"What again I think a lot of the commentariat in Westminster don't understand is there are literally only five or six people in this referendum whose campaigning, whose presence, can sway the undecideds, and he is one of those half a dozen."
What has the EU ever done for us?
What has the EU ever done for us?
1/7 1. It gives you freedom to live, work and retire anywhere in Europe
As a member of the EU, UK citizens benefit from freedom of movement across the continent. Considered one of the so-called four pillars of the European Union, this freedom allows all EU citizens to live, work and travel in other member states.
2/7 2. It sustains millions of jobs
A report by the Centre for Economics and Business Research, released in October 2015, suggested 3.1 million British jobs were linked to the UK's exports to the EU.
3/7 3. Your holiday is much easier - and safer
Freedom to travel is one of the most exercised benefits of EU membership, with Britons having made 31 million visits to the EU in 2014 alone. But a lot of the benefits of being an EU citizen are either taken for granted or go unnoticed.
4/7 4. It means you're less likely to get ripped off
Consumer protection is a key benefit of the EU's single market, and ensures members of the British public receive equal consumer rights when shopping anywhere in Europe.
5/7 5. It offers greater protection from terrorists, paedophiles, people traffickers and cyber-crime
Another example of a lesser-known advantage of EU membership is the benefit of cross-country coordination and cooperation in the fight against crime.
6/7 6. Our businesses depend on it
According to 71% of all members of the Confederation of British Influence (CBI), and 67 per cent of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the EU has had an overall positive impact on their business.
7/7 7. We have greater influence
Robin Niblett, Director of think-tank Chatham House, stated in a report published last year: "For a mid-sized country like the UK, which will never again be economically dominant either globally or regionally, and whose diplomatic and military resources are declining in relative terms, being a major player in a strong regional institution can offer a critical lever for international influence.
Speaking to the BBC on Sunday, Mr Duncan Smith said Britain's membership of the EU leaves the country vulnerable to a Paris-style terrorism attack.
The Work and Pensions Secretary, one of six ministers to declare for the "out" camp following Saturday's Cabinet meeting - said the UK's "open border" meant there was a lack of control over people entering the country.
But he faced criticism for "scaremongering" and lowering the tone of the debate just two days after Mr Cameron secured a deal on reforms if Britain stays in.
The pro-EU former deputy prime minister Lord Heseltine said: "I hope that Mr Duncan Smith's comments about terrorism are not typical of the scaremongering that could so easily characterise those arguing to leave Europe."

getting rid of old gas
201 Attachment(s)
I have about half a gallon of year old 2 stroke gas. I just bought a new weed eater and I don't want its first tank of gas to be stale. What can I do with it? I don't want to burn it BTW.
Does your community have a toxic or hazardous household waste collection site? Many communities do hold annual or semi-annual events too but you have to store it until then.
Age old problem. They are expensive but there is something to be said for those two-cycle cans of fuel if you only need a little bit each season.
201 Attachment(s)
If they do I have never heard of it. I know I can take used oil to the dump but I don't know of anywhere to bring gas. If it wasn't 2 stroke I'd put it in the car and then top it off. Is it safe to store it in sealed mason jars? I don't want them to explode from the pressure build up but I need to weed eat today.
I've always dumped old 2 stroke gas into the car.. You'll find mixed opinions on it, but IMO.. it won't hurt a thing. Half a gallon of gas mixed at 40:1, then added to a tank of 14+ gallons.. the amount of oil in the gas is negligible at that point.
+1 on adding it to your car's gas tank if your car is not empty.
201 Attachment(s)
I have a brand new truck with a 32 gallon tank but putting old gas in the brand new truck just don't seem right. Lol
Put it in your neighbor's auto.
Yea....just toss it in the tank....but make sure you have at least a 3/4 tank....that will dilute the oil enough so that it does not bother the emissions sensors.
+1 more = gas tank of car.
Take it to the local nature preserve and dump it in the swamp to kill off the skeeter larve.:eek:
We need a "No Thanks" button.
Polecat.......we know your kidding.....right?
Why not just use it? Cut it with new 2-stroke set up gas. 2-stroke engines will burn damn near anything. I've used gas as old as three years in my weedwhacker and while it did seem harder to start, and tended to make a bit more smoke, it still got the job done.
Given the various sensors, injectors and computers in new vehicles I would not recommend screwing around with them by using the wrong fuel. Yeah, it probably "won't hurt" for such a small amount, but if it does you're likely in for several hundred dollars in repairs.
You probably need a new gas container anyway, so, depending on your neighborhood, just leave it sitting about 2 feet from the curb or sidewalk. It may walk off by itself the first night.
that happened to me last yr and someone on here told me to buy 'seafoam' which I did and added to the gas, then I used it in the mower.
Just mix it with fresh gas and get whacking those weeds. Add seafoam if you feel the need, but I wouldn't bother for a 2-stroke setup.

I remember my early schooldays very well. I started at Bush Corner Open Air school in 1953. I was born in Ealing Road Brentford in 1947 and first went to school at Ealing Road school. When I was 6 I went to Bush Corner Open air school as I had suspected Polio and had a problem walking. My best memories of this school was the fact we started the day with breakfast ! we also had to have a sleep after lunch, camp beds would be put up in the 2 halls 1 for the boys 1 for the girls and we were supposed to go to sleep, this was sometimes quite easy other times impossible. The teachers would walk round keeping an eye on us and if we were asleep we were awarded a sugar lump !! which we collected from Miss Burridge the Headmistress. Imagine the state of our teeth, not good at all. Living in Ealing Road we all used to play at Karville Hall park brilliant fun and not to far away although I was allowed to go on my own which I would never allow my Grandchildren to do at the age of 6 or 7. My Grandfather worked at Kew Bridge Waterworks and I used to walk up Green Dragon Lane and go and see him and sometimes we would sit on the corner of the Great West Road and just watch the traffic go by and he used to tell me stories about maybe one day there would be a road in the sky where the traffic would be above our heads but I believe he thought this would never happen of course a few years later they built the Chiswick Flyover. My Grandfather moved away and died soon after so never lived to see this happen.

Tau Galaxy (Clan Wolf)
Sarna News
|Tau Galaxy
|Unit Profile (as of 3145)
|The Shadow Wolves (3057)
Hellions' Nightmare
|Parent Formation
|Clan Wolf Touman
Tau Galaxy was a second line formation.
The Refusal War[edit]
Tau Galaxy was reformed by Ulric Kerensky just prior to the beginning of the Refusal War. The Galaxy now comprised exclusively of Clan Wolf Warriors with Crusader beliefs, which fell in tune with Ulric Kerensky's plan of pitting Crusader against Crusader. [1]
They assaulted the Clan Jade Falcon world of Zoetermeer in 3057.[1] This was followed by a visit to Evciler where they faced the 73rd Striker (Clan Jade Falcon), 6th Provisional Garrison Cluster (Clan Jade Falcon), 51st Garrison (Clan Jade Falcon) and 9th Provisional Garrison Cluster (Clan Jade Falcon).[2]
The survivors of the Evciler campaign later jumped to Wotan, where the Jade Falcon Khans were located. There they engaged the defending Gyrfalcon Galaxy. The fighting was brutal, with Tau Galaxy and the defending Falcon forces suffering losses over 80%.[3]
The Wars of Reaving[edit]
Tau survived the Refusal War as part of the Jade Wolves.[4] With the reorganisation of the Wolf forces in 3058 Tau was disbanded, however, it was soon reformed for Home Worlds defence. The Galaxy spent most of 3065 and 3066 engaged in trials with Clans Ice Hellion and Fire Mandrill.[5]
In November 3067 its Clusters defended the enclaves on Tiber, Roche, Dagda, Paxon and Hoard.[6] The Red Keshik faced Clan Hells Horses in a Trial of Possession on Tiber in December. The Keshik broke zellbrigen and the Horses annihilated them with four Clusters and took most of the planet.[7] In 3071 the remaining Star of the Seventh Wolf Dragoons on Dagda was attacked and destroyed by Clan Cloud Cobra.[8] In December 3071 the last remaining Wolf enclave fell and the last Wolf warriors in the Home Worlds were wiped out by orbital bombardment from the Clan Steel Viper WarShip Snake Leader.[9]
The Jihad[edit]
The understrength Sixth Wolf Garrison Cluster arrived on Wheel in the Clan Occupation Zone during the early stages of the Jihad, the rest of the Galaxy had not been accounted for by 3079.[10]
Tau Galaxy is recorded, perhaps erroneously, as a part of the Draconis Combine front during Operation SCOUR in 3077 serving under the overall command of Gunji-no-Kanrei Kiyomori Minamoto. Tau spent several weeks trying to liberate Quentin, facing a determined guerrilla campaign from the 47th Shadow Division. They were involved in the final battle for the planet which involved them working alongside the 1st Sword of Light to trap the Manei Domini in a pincer move around the Blakist's hidden mountain base near the planetary capital on the 10th of July. This action crushed the Shadow Division and left just a few stragglers to escape to a nearby Word of Blake WarShip.[11]
Wolf Empire[edit]
After the formation of the Wolf Empire, Tau Galaxy was rebuilt with the graduating classes from Allison MechWarrior Institute and Lloyd Marik-Stanley Aerospace School. Practically every graduate from the 3139 through 3142 classes was assigned to Tau. These graduates still felt some loyalty to the Marik-Stewart Commonwealth, and were annoyed at having to be on the peaceful border with the Free Worlds League. Posting them to the Empire's Lyran Commonwealth border could've led to a diplomatic incident, so the Tau Galaxy soldiers remained on the League border.[12]
After the Refusal War of 3057, Tau Galaxy was led by Galaxy Commander saKhan Marialle Radick.[13]
As of 3067 the commanding officer was Galaxy Commander Nowa Vickers.[6]
In 3145 the commanding officer is Galaxy Commander Victoria Conners. Her aide is Star Colonel Brandon.[14]

After Nelson Mandela condemned the "tragic failure" of Zimbabwe's leadership, the opposition MDC offers Robert Mugabe one last chance to negotiate ahead of tomorrow's "election" run-off, amid continuing reports of violence.
Scroll down and refresh for news, reaction, and your chance to comment and report updates
11am BST
US presidential candidate Barack Obama has complained that South African leaders have been "quiet for far too long". He accused them of allowing "Mugabe to engage in this sort of anti-colonial rhetoric that is used to distract from his own profound failures as a leader".
Last night Nelson Mandela broke his silence on Zimbabwe by condemning its "tragic failure of leadership".
Opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, told the Times that Mugabe has last one chance to talk.
"Negotiations will be over if Mugabe declares himself the winner," he said.
Tsvangirai has also distanced himself from an article bylined to him in yesterday's Guardian, calling for peacekeepers to be sent in.
In a statement he said: "Although the Guardian was given assurances from credible sources that I had approved the article this was not the case.
"By way of clarification I would like to state the following: I am not advocating for military intervention in Zimbabwe by the United Nations or any other organization."
In an interview with Sky News Tsvangirai welcomed Mandela's statement. Speaking from the Dutch embassy he says "we appreciate the solidarity".
Asked about Thabo Mbeki's failure to criticise Mugabe he said : "I hope that given ... the degeneration of the crisis we are facing, he will also act in terms of it being urgent to fulfil his mandate."
Mugabe has attacked the British again. In a rally late last he said: "We are now an independent country and no longer under British colonial rule," according to South Africa's Mail and Guardian.
He didn't mention being stripped of his knighthood or Mandela's remarks. The only place you won't read about Mandela is in Zimbabwe itself.
The state-run Herald newspaper is unsurprisingly silent on Mandela's speech. It leads with the government's insistence that tomorrow's election is still on, branding Tsvangirai, an "unmistakable stooge" of the west.
Up to 200 people are seeking refuge in the South African embassy in Harare, according to the blogger Hope on This is Zimbabwe.
"Last I heard, the South Africans have a penchant for beating up foreigners seeking shelter and help from them. Hope those poor buggers in the embassy are watching their backs," ants says, commenting on the report.
The MDC secretary general, Tendai Biti, has been released on bail after being held for two weeks on treason charges, according to Reuters. Bail was set at 1tn Zimbabwean dollars - about £45.
Mugabe's information minister, Sikhanyiso Ndlovu, has brushed off Mandela's criticismby claiming he had been put under pressure from the west.
Campaigners are urging Zimbabwean's to boycott tomorrow's election. Here's a roundup of suggestions of what people should do instead - they include prayer and demonstrations.
On that subject, Comrade Fasto writes on his blog: "We need to continue lighting our many fires demanding a boycott of the vote, a deployment of peace keepers and a transitional government. Time is not on our side. But history is.
Zanu-PF is plotting to plant fake MDC polling agents in polling stations to give the impression that the opposition is participating, Zimbabwe Metro alleges.
"Soldiers will be out in full force tomorrow to herd voters to the polling stations to ensure that they vote for the single candidate,"
according to the Zimbabwe Times, quoting a senior army officer
The US ambassador to Zimbabwe, James McGee, makes a similar warning:
"We've received reports that ZANU PF will force people to vote on Friday and also take action against those who refuse to vote," McGee told Zim Online.
There's more on Zimbabwe here, including galleries, profiles and an interactive guide to the crisis.

Description Quality Martial Arts - Recreation
Quality Martial Arts offers a variety of programs suited to fit the varieties of people. Our main martial arts curriculum is based around the Korean art of Tae Kwon Do, the way of the foot and fist. Tae Kwon Do builds CONFIDENCE, fosters DISCIPLINE, develops RESPONSIBILITY, increases AWARENESS, and cultivates a sense of ACCOUNTABILITY. This style is founded on the tenants of Tae Kwon Do: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit. Each student learns to adhere to the oath taken and recited daily by every practitioner of TKD: "I will observe the tenants of Tae Kwon Do, I will respect all instructors and seniors, I will never misuse Tae Kwon Do, I will be a champion of freedom and justice, I will build a more peaceful world." Tae Kwon Do emphasizes stretching, technique and form application, self-defense, sparring, and conditioning to increase balance, body control, flexibility, and mental alertness. Another program of ours is a system of Ju-Jitsu recognized and accepted by the United States Ju-Jitsu Federation (USJJF), the National Governing Body of Ju-Jitsu in the United States for the Ju-Jitsu International Federation (JJIF). It is a dynamic system of combat and self-defense that allows the practitioner to learn common-sense, SIMPLE and direct methods to avoid and/or survive a violent encounter. It consists of impact techniques (such as punches and kicks), controlling techniques (such as joint locks), throwing techniques, and ground-fighting techniques. It is presented with strategy and tactics that makes sense within a modern context. Adult students are also taught other options of a more combative nature. Training in the martial arts is a great way for children to learn to handle life's everyday challenges. For children, it can help with learning to deal with anger as well as learn to handle tough situations, such as being bullied or peer-pressured. At Quality Martial Arts, we equip children with important life skills that make them well-prepared for the unexpected and confident in themselves.

This happened in LaLa land.
So what else is new?
This is a discussion on Nicholas Cage and naked intruder within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; This is all pretty weird to me, and of course I don't know anymore details other than this little news article. BTW I don't take ...
This is all pretty weird to me, and of course I don't know anymore details other than this little news article. BTW I don't take these articles for face-value because they are hastily written and generally inaccurate. However I've known about a couple of "naked intruders" that were actually "visiting the wife" and got caught ! So who knows what this is all about?
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A naked intruder broke into Nicolas Cage's waterfront home near Los Angeles, and put on one of his leather jackets before he was confronted by the actor, police said on Tuesday.
No one was hurt in the incident, which happened early on Monday in Newport Beach, an upscale community 45 miles south of Los Angeles. Cage, who was at home with his wife and child, asked the intruder to remove the jacket, escorted him outside and called a security guard.
Robert Dennis Furo Jr., 45, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to a first-degree burglary charge. He was ordered back to court on October 10 for a pretrial hearing.
Newport Beach police Lt. Craig Fox said Furo was "apparently" naked, and not known to Cage. There was no sign of a break-in, and he did not know what led Furo to Cage's home.
The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Cage paid $25 million for the property in 2005.
Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
This happened in LaLa land.
So what else is new?
When youre wounded and left on Afghanistans plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.
Rudyard Kipling
I know about LaLa land, in fact I wish I didn't know so much.
I found it particularly amusing in the article, it said that Cage, "escorted him outside". The word "escort" could have several different meanings in this case, it's likely that Cage held him lightly by his elbow and led the intruder outside. Probably here, the "escort" would have meant that he got thrown outside thru a window, or we helped the coroner take the stretcher and body outside.
Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
Too funny you posted this. The arresting officer is my brother's roommate.
Said he got a good crack out of it.
Any chance you could find out more?

text: A majority of small and medium businesses (SMBs) in the UK and US are unsure of cloud services or think they are only for large companies, thus missing out on the opportunity to increase productivity and stay more effectively in control of their IT security, new research from AVG Technologies reveals. AVG Technologies (NYSE: AVG), the provider of Internet and mobile security to 128 million active users, conducted research among more than 1,000 SMBs in the UK and US to gain insights into their understanding and attitudes towards cloud services and IT security. The study found just a quarter of SMBs had adopted some form of cloud services, while a similar proportion (22% in the UK and 17% in the US) thought cloud services were only for large companies. One-in-three SMBs (31% in the UK and 28% in the US) said they did not understand cloud services at all. "The research highlights the need to educate SMBs about the benefits that the right cloud services could bring to their businesses," said Gene Marks, a small business owner, author and columnist. "It is clear that SMBs are juggling the same challenges as their larger counterparts but are making complex technology decisions without the benefit of an IT department or outside expertise to guide them." More than three quarters of SMBs in both the US (77.3%) and UK (76.4%) say they are open to technology that makes their life easier, and are, in fact, dependent on large amounts of technology – over 95% of UK and US SMBs regularly use up to five pieces of technology in the course of their day-to-day work. Significantly, however, a substantial proportion of SMBs in the US (42%) and UK (52%) say they are dealing with IT issues, including security, themselves – and spending up to four hours a week in the process.

RIO DE JANEIRO, July 14 (Reuters) - A fire at Rumo sugar and grain terminal in Brazil's Santos port, the largest port in South America, broke out at 4 a.m. (0700 GMT) on Thursday, restricting operations, said a spokesman for the company controlled by sugar and ethanol producer Cosan SA.
The blaze in a warehouse was controlled within an hour, but operations were partially affected, he said.
News of the incident in the world's biggest sugar producing nation triggered a more than 4 percent rally in sugar prices .
Williams shipping service said the fire was at one of the conveyor belts that connects Rumo's warehouse XX to XXII, used for receiving cargo.
It was the second fire at Rumo in as many years. (Reporting by Stephen Eisenhammer; Editing by Frances Kerry)
