India's IT firms understand software, but not America.
It is the American character not to back down, and to fight for what is right. Our children are taught this from their earliest ages. Even new arrivals, immigrants or people on work visas are quick to grasp this essential truth.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Work visa debate shifts from H-1B to L-1 visas. | Stay ahead of the key tech business news with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: First Look newsletter. | Read Bill Snyder's Tech's Bottom Line blog for what the key business trends mean to you. ]
America's institutions reflect the national character. Our political system encourages sharp and hard contests. Our legal system facilitates a fight, as India's IT companies are now learning.
Three of India's largest IT outsourcing firms, Infosys Technologies, Larsen & Toubro InfoTech and Tata Consultancy Services, are involved in lawsuits filed against them by current and former employees. The lawsuits are a problem for each of the companies. But taken together, the cases are a major threat to the Indian IT industry in America.
India's IT firms are dependent on American businesses for about half of their revenue. They can't operate in this country without work visas, such as H-1B and L-1 visas. Thus the allegations by employees of visa misuse and harassment have broad implications and are attracting federal investigators and congressional oversight.
Infosys Technologies
Infosys Technologies was sued early last year by employee, Jay Palmer, who contended he was harassed after refusing to participate in what he alleged was a scheme to use B-1 visas, a business visitor visa, for work requiring an H-1B visa.
The visa claims raised by Palmer attracted the attention of federal investigators, and led to a grand jury investigation, with subpoenas issued by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The grand jury report has not been released.
The lawsuit also attracted the attention of U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who is always on the hunt for new ammunition for his longstanding efforts to get restrictions on work visas.
Meanwhile, Palmer's civil case is continuing through a discovery process.
Larsen & Toubro InfoTech
IT services firm Larsen & Toubro faces discrimination claims in lawsuits filed by two former employees, each of whom claim that their pregnancies led to harassment on the job and loss of employment.
One of the people who joined in the class action lawsuit, Nanda Pai, worked in the human resources department. Pai's lawsuit, filed this week, alleges that there was large scale visa fraud and a subsequent cover-up at the company. In the suit, she said a particular concern was the forging of her signature on visa-related documents. Pai was worried that she was being set up as a fall guy if something went wrong.
If the U.S. government is interested in Infosys, it's probably not a reach to expect that federal investigators will also take a look at the allegations against Larsen & Toubro.

BATON ROUGE, La. - LSU closed with a fast finish on National Signing Day, ending up with what most recruiting services say is the second best class in all of college football - the top team, Alabama, who else?
But finishing second to its hated rival, didn't deter LSU's Les Miles from wearing a big smile. He already had landed the nation's top prize when Leonard Fournette of St. Aug said he would attend LSU during a major all-star game. But, LSU also landed two of the top few who remained undecided on Wednesday.
First, Malachi Dupre, widely-regarded as the top receiving prospect in the nation out of John Curtis, opted to ply his trade up the road in Baton Rouge.
Later, massive defensive lineman, Travonte Valentine out of Florida, picked LSU over Miami.
Those late signings and a few others bolted LSU from 6th on most lists, to 2nd by day's end.
"The LSU class is ranked second in just about every major poll," said Miles. "We do a tremendous job of evaluating prospects. This class has a mix of speed, strength and size."

Red Stripe introduces D&G White Overproof Rum for Jamaica50
Red Stripe has introduced a white overproof rum to the market in recognition of Jamaica 50, which the company says will offer greater quality and value for its consumers. D&G White Overproof Rum, which was officially launched on Friday, July 13, represents Red Stripe's second innovation commemorating Jamaica's 50th year of independence following the highly successful introduction of Talawah lager beer.
"D&G White Overproof Rum represents quality and value for our consumers and it will be the most affordable white rum on the market," stated Red Stripe's Head of Marketing Jomo Cato. "2012 represents a special year for all Jamaicans as we celebrate 50 years as an independent nation and that's reason to celebrate. So we're offering our consumers the most affordable white rum to ring in our 50th anniversary."
D&G White Overproof Rum rounds out Red Stripe's extensive brew and spirits portfolio making it the most complete in the market. It's also a part of the company's overall strategy of having a portfolio that represents the best global and local brands.
Diageo, Red Stripe's parent company that owns renowned brands such as Johnnie Walker and Smirnoff, recently made a £300-million purchase for Ypioca, the largest-selling brand of premium cachaça in Brazil. Similarly, Red Stripe said having its own white rum was a logical step for the company based on its significance in Jamaica.
"The rum category has strong value in Jamaica," added Red Stripe's managing director Renato Gonzalez. "We see a great opportunity to offer white rum for our consumers that has great quality, provides great value for them, commemorates our 50th year of Independence and completes our portfolio as the best with the most options for consumers."
Cato added that Red Stripe would be aggressive in winning a share of the white rum market in year one and believes its competitive pricing, which will make it the most affordable white rum option on the market, will make that target possible.
D&G White Overproof Rum is available in 750 ml and 200 ml bottles which have been on the local market since July 1.

I have a Super C that has both a fast hitch and a trip bucket loader. When I bought it a little over a year ago the loader cylinders were set up to have up pressure only - no hoses were attached to the top, retract end of the cylinders -just vent plugs. There is an extra reservoir attached to the TC block, so when the cylinders are retracted the extra fluid has somewhere to go. I'm told this was common practice for farmalls with loaders.
I started running into trouble if I put the loader all the way up - it seemed that the cylinders needed more fluid when full than the regular and extra reservoirs could hold together, and the pump was sucking air. I would have no working hydraulics anywhere on the tractor. Lowering the bucket (with this loader set-up gravity would force the fluid back into the reservoirs) and waiting a minute or two, I assumed for the pump to re-prime, would fix all.
I decided to alter the system to give the bucket down pressure, assuming that this would sort of even up the fluid requirements for the bucket being up or down. Drained the system and added hoses, replaced the filter in the block and refilled. Started the bleeding procedure first with the two touch control rockshafts, and then with the fast hitch cyllinder. Everything seems fine. I try to put the bucket up, and nothing happens - though I figured out later that the hoses did fill, the cylinders, obviously didn't. I think, OK, probably I need to add more fluid, and yes, the system takes more fluid, but I now have no hydraulics anywhere. When I move any of the hydraulic controls, nothing happens - no noise, no engine laboring - nothing (the fast hitch was pulled down by gravity when its valve was opened).
All I can think is that either the pump is bad, or I have a big air bubble stuck somewhere in the system. I drained, checked the filter and refilled, but no luck. And these is no evidence of any hydraulic fluid gettig into the crankcase. Engine oil level has remained constant.
So I have 2 questions. 1. Are pump rebuild kits/parts available anywhere? I see you can get a complete new pump, but the nearly $700 price tag doesn't fit my budget!
2. Does anyone have any tricks for getting air out of the system? I've seen references to making sure the manifold tubes are full, but since the two lowest points on the tubes are the two ends, removing air is a mystery to me.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Cyber Control is a new DMX lighting software launched by Czech Republic moving-light manufacturer Robe Show Lighting. The software is designed for users that prefer to use a computer, rather than a conventional lighting console, for show and exhibition build-up and programming periods.
Cyber Control is quick, easy, and logical to use. It creates a perfect visualization of all parameters of intelligent lights and all types of lighting fixtures (including conventionals like PARs, ACLs, Profiles, and Molefeys). The end result is a sophisticated 3D-visualization of the show, including real-time beam, gobo and iris simulations. The PC-based software includes a large fixture library of popular moving lights.
It is available in three versions: Cyber Cue, Cyber Pro and Visual Control. With the CyberCue and CyberPro versions, a show can be created on a computer and run directly from a PC using a USB interface. Once the show is complete, the data is uploaded into the USB Interface, the PC disconnected, and the show can actually run from the Interface, while in "Stand Alone" mode.
CyberPro has additional image and musical features. It contains the multimedia extension EASY SHOW, which allows users to add multimedia music and image files (WAV, MP3, CD, AVI, MPEG, etc) into their onscreen show. Harnessing the power and potential of the 3D visualiser, the simulations will playback with these multimedia files.
The Visual Control version enables the user to download show data from a lighting desk to a computer for offline editing.

Lieutenant Gov. Timothy Murray welcomed Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Niki Tsongas to serve on the Executive Committee of the Massachusetts Military Asset and Security Strategy Task Force during a meeting at the State House Wednesday.
Murray first established the Task Force in February 2012.
Murray then formed an Executive Committee to bring together key leaders in government and the private sector to discuss a plan on issues and implement goals of the Task Force.
The Executive Committee focuses on protecting, promoting and enhancing the state's six military bases by delivering resources to support workforce training, infrastructure improvements, environmental and utility savings, veterans' services and military family support, housing and transportation at each base.
"The Task Force was created to work collaboratively across the public and private sector to support the state's military bases," said Murray. "As we continue to position Massachusetts' military assets to further protect jobs and investments related to each base, Sen. Warren and Congresswoman Tsongas' representation brings another level of expertise and advocacy to the table. Both have been incredible to work with on this issue thus far, and I look forward to collaborating with them, the rest of our delegation and all our partners."
"I'm pleased to join Lieutenant Gov. Murray, Congresswoman Tsongas and the other members of the Task Force's Executive Committee to support Massachusetts' military bases, our armed servicemen and women, and their families," said Warren. "The important defense work that goes on here in the Commonwealth is critical to our national security and to our state's economy, and we must do our part to ensure our military bases have the support and resources they need. I look forward to working with other members of the task force, community stakeholders and private sector partners in this effort."
"I appreciate the Lieutenant Governor's initiative to create this Task Force and look forward to working with him, Sen. Warren and all of the stakeholders on the Executive Committee as we continue to highlight the significance of our military installations and the talented people located here," said Tsongas. "As the only Massachusetts Member on the House Armed Services Committee, I have seen firsthand the essential resources and cutting-edge technology the Commonwealth's military installations provide to the United States Armed Services. The high-caliber workforce, top-notch educational institutions and advanced technological companies that are unique to this region create an important synergy that strengthens our military."
During its first year, the executive committee only included stakeholders at the state level and in the private sector, though Murray frequently included Tsongas and recently elected Warren.
Tsongas, who serves on the U.S. House of Representatives' Armed Services Committee, joined Murray and the Task Force on visits to the U.S. Army's Soldier Systems Center in Natick, Fort Devens and Hanscom Air Force Base in 2012, and the Massachusetts Military Reservation on Cape Cod earlier this year. The state's two other bases include Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee and Barnes Air National Guard in Westfield.
Last year, the task force partnered with the University of Massachusetts Donahue Institute to release the state's first comprehensive report on the jobs and economic impact of Massachusetts' six military bases.

Masai is located in Johor and specifically in Johor Bahru. Just a drive away from the heart of JB, the area provides a calmer and more serene atmosphere amidst the hustle and bustle that its district is synonymous with. It is also near the industrial area that is Pasir Gudang, making it a perfect spot between business and leisure. It is also filled with nostalgia as it contains many preserved buildings from the early 1900s which is understandable considering it is the oldest town in the state. Mixing past with present, it has seen some upgrading and with it, a big boost to its population and economic status.
It has nationally / internationally known banks like Maybank operating within its premises along with convenience stores the Saver Store, Kip – Mart and the ever so popular Tesco. Recreational options are provided by its very own golf club (the Octville Golf & Country Club). It even has a mini business area within its confines, namely that of Bandar Sri Alam. It is also and naturally so, very easily accessible. One can take the Pasir Gudang Highway and of course, Jalan Masai Lama. A sought after residential area for the well to do, it is hard to believe it once was vegetation for agricultural purposes.

Riders provide additional protection to the term insurance plan.
Rajiv Jamkhedkar, MD and CEO of Aegon Religare Life Insurance, throws light on the necessity of term cover and also on factors that need to be kept in mind while taking a policy, in a conversation with Business Line. Excerpts:
What are the risks that a term insurance policy seeks to cover?
A term insurance plan seeks to cover the risk of death. In case of the policy holder's demise, his/her nominee or beneficiary receive the sum assured. It is important to understand that insurance is not an investment. It is a financial instrument that covers the risk of death and everybody should have adequate insurance.
How does an investor decide on the amount for which the cover must be taken? What factors must be borne in mind?
The amount of protection one needs differs from person to person and there is no fixed formula to determine or calculate it. However, it is imperative to ensure that the amount of protection suffices the living expenses and lifestyle of the policy holder's family in his/her absence. The amount should also support the beneficiary in clearing any loan that the policy holder has to repay. While calculating the amount, one should factor in inflation.
For how many years should a term insurance policy be taken? Is it necessary to continue the cover post-retirement too?
A term insurance policy is ideally required till one has disposed of all the financial obligations. It is also required till the time one has dependants. It is not required post-retirement if these criteria are met. However, it is advisable to opt for a term insurance early in life to receive the cost benefit.
Are medical tests mandatory? In case it is optional, does it affect the claim or the premium rates in any way?
Medical tests help the insurer assess the proposal of insurance. In case of higher risk individuals, we propose a counter-offer with minor increase in the premium to help us cover the medical risk. This is decided by the reinsurer.
Medical tests are not mandatory.
It doesn't impact the claim process if the policy holder is truthful and responds to all the questions in the declaration form correctly. However, in case of false declaration made by the policy holder, the nominee might undergo a cumbersome claims process due to investigations.
Should investors 'step up' or 'step down' the sum assured over the years or should the amount be the same through the policy tenure?
The increase or decrease in sum assured would depend on the person's lifestyle. If one is likely to have an increased financial liability in the future, it is important to step-up the sum assured and vice versa.
How important are riders? Is it necessary to take them, given the increase in premium that would entail?
Riders provide additional protection to the term insurance plan. Most of the riders offered today suit the need of the policy holder. With a marginal increase in the premium rate, it would be ideal to opt for riders.
Are there any advantages in buying a policy online vis-à-vis offline? Do insurers offer differential treatment for either of them?
There are advantages in buying a policy online. This gives the customer an added cost benefit.
For an insurer, an online customer and an offline customer are the same and apart from the cost benefit, they are treated equally.
By how much do the premium rates change over the tenure of the policy for the same sum assured?
Premium rates remain unchanged over the tenure of the policy.
For those with no liabilities such as home loan EMIs, or other financial commitments, is term cover necessary?
We should look at a term policy as an income replacement/lifestyle preservation policy.
Even if there are no liabilities there is a lifestyle that needs to be guarded. A term plan does exactly that in case of the death of the life assured.

On Tuesday afternoon, Callejo was putting the finishing touches on his mural painted on an electrical box on North Figueroa Street near the Gold Line tracks across from La Estrella.
Callejo explained that the grant for the murals was applied for by Central City Action Committee, a graffiti abatement program that operates in Highland Park.
The murals feature indigenous plants and animals, including the California state animal--the grizzly bear.

A man who eluded Troopers for two and half days in remote Southwestern Alaska has been arrested on charges of rape and kidnapping, according to Alaska Public Radio's Alaska News Nightly.
Last week, 22-year-old Colten Zaukar fled from Troopers after allegedly violently assaulting a woman in the Southwestern Alaska village of Sleetmute. Zaukar reportedly used an axe to hack his way through the front door of a woman's home. Once inside he attacked a female resident, authorities say, beating her before dragging her from the house down a trail toward the nearby Kuskokwim River where he raped her.
The victim was taken to Bethel hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries while Troopers and a U.S. Deputy Marshal traveled to the village to investigate. Alaska News Nightly reports that Troopers believe Zaukar's family helped him elude authorities.
Trooper spokesperson Megan Peters said that the family members "took him to a wooded, mountainous region on the far side of town. Troopers were unable to apprehend him even though they took about six hours out in the woods trying to find him."
Zaukar is no stranger to violent behavior. In 2010 he was arrested for attempted murder after allegedly attacking a family member with a hatchet. But the attempted murder charges were dismissed after he plead guilty to third-degree assault instead. In 2011, Zaukar was arrested on suspicions of burglary. He was in jail until August 15 of this year, but posted bail and was released. His trial was set for the end of October.
Troopers did not say how they caught Zaukar, but only that they'd received a "tip" regarding his whereabouts and were able to apprehend him without incident.

Oregon Zoo researchers stopped playing matchmaker and instead let an endangered species pick their own companions.
The results aren't just proving positive for the Columbia Basin pygmy rabbits; they could lead to a breakthrough for a much bigger member of the animal kingdom.
The Oregon Zoo became the first in the world to breed the highly endangered rabbits in 2001. However, the minuscule bunnies were plagued with low birth rates and incompatibility among mates. Animals are typically paired based on estimates of genetic relatedness.
The dilemma prompted a community of animal-care professionals and scientists to consider whether allowing the animals to choose their own mates might improve reproductive success.
So in the spring of 2010, a rabbit "speed-dating" program was put together. The rabbits were housed in rows of neighboring open-air pens, alternating between male and female, thus giving each female a choice between two males.
"Females are the limiting factor in many breeding programs for mammals, because they tend to be the choosiest," said Meghan Martin, the Oregon Zoo research associate who led the study. "The female rabbits always chose one male over the other, and in most cases, one male was extremely preferred."
Each female's preference was judged by her behavior, whether she rubbed heads with a male through the fencing, chased him or ran parallel with him along the barrier.
Females were then paired with males from one of four categories: neighbor, non-neighbor, preferred and non-preferred.
Less than a month later, the researchers trained their eyes on the rabbit burrows, waiting to see which ones produced kits. As expected, the females that had been paired with neighbors and preferred males were more likely to have litters than those paired with non-neighbors and non-preferred males.
Now, Martin is in China attempting to find breeding success with the world's ambassador for endangered species, the panda bear.
"Giant pandas are notorious for their reluctance to breed in captivity," Martin said. "Applying the findings from our pygmy rabbit studies to this critically endangered species could be a key to increasing the panda population."
Martin's research is taking place at the Bifengxia Panda Reserve in Ya'an, China and is being conducted in collaboration with Portland State University, the Zoological Society of San Diego, and the China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Pandas.
Martin will expand on her pygmy rabbit study by taking male preference into account. She also plans to examine whether acoustic and hormonal cues, and personality traits such as shyness or boldness, can predict mate preference.

Bill Ward
Rushville Republican
When I was a young sprout my father had an automobile agency as well as a Philco appliance franchise. The local telephone company was owned by the people who used it and was right here in town on Main Street where the bank on the west next to the Chamber is today. Dad's phone number was 2555; that was it, no area code (not yet thought of), not 932 or 938, not enough phones around to need such things.
I found it rather interesting many years later when my family started a business the phone number was assigned to it by the national telephone company; that number was 932-2555. Dad may have gotten older but somehow managed to hang onto his first business phone number. Our home phone number was 2337 and we had a private line too. Dad felt because of his business and what he might not want others to hear we needed that at home.
There were a lot of people who did have phones and also were on what was called a party line. Party lines consisted of three or four other individuals on the same line as you. You would still have the phone ring to you if you were the one being called, but the rest of those on the line could also listen in. If you had a call and one of the other or all of them on the line picked up their phones they could hear everything said. And if you or they needed to use the line they had to wait until who ever was using it hung up.
Of course, many were not bashful when they wanted to use the phone and you were using it. I heard of people who yelled and screamed until you hung up so they could use the line.
My aunt in Dearborn County had a phone that was really an antique. It had a big round battery hanging off the phone. And the phone number was two long and a short. That meant two long rings and one short one to get her attention. The phone had a crank on the side and the receiver hung off a cradle on the side of the phone. That crank was how you made short and long rings. If the head set was hung up the line was dead until someone picked it up. There were three others on the same line and each had a distinctive ring to know they were the ones who were wanted.
Those rings would ring in all of those one that party line too. And, of course, they all could and usually did listen in on all calls. If someone rang Aunt Minnette it would also ring into all the others on the line.
That in reality meant hey there is a call for someone else so if you want to listen in get on the phone. Party lines meant no possible privacy for those on it.
There was a true monopoly in Bell Telephone as far as long distance went. They were highly regulated but still were number one and only for long distance. If you wanted to call outside of town or the county you had to go through the operator to do it. Early on, if you wanted to call you had to go through the operator. If you were the operator you had a switchboard in your home and were expected to answer any and all calls or requests for calls for those on your companies system. Other words, if at midnight I wanted to call someone I would pick up the phone turn the crank and wait. The operator would have to get out of bed go to the switch board and place the call for you then when your done disconnect it. Sure sounds like fun ,doesn't it? One of the nice things was if you wanted someone you told the operator and they then would connect you, and maybe listen in too.
The phone company owned the phone itself and rented it to you on a monthly basis. They also owned and maintained the lines coming into and through the home. Originally, you had a black phone. Period. No colors or much else as far as services were concerned. No call ID, or forwarding, no Princess phone (that sure did change when the utility was deregulated back in the late '60s. When they did deregulate it, boy did things get wild and lots of companies try to be your phone company.
Several large national firms purchased smaller utilities like Rushville Independent
Telephone Company and bundle them together.
I noticed on my phone bill last month more than half of my charges were taxes. I now own the phones I have in the house and either pay the phone company for maintaining the lines in my house or do it myself. I have one local utility and one long distance company rather than one that did it all. I have a cell phone that I can call long distance usually toll free, or use the land line and pay a long distance fee. In fact, I believe that fees make up most of anyone's' land line phone bill those charges and taxes are most of what you are charged anymore. Just one more of those funny things that we lived with and enjoyed way back when.

ALBANY, N.Y. – Monday is Earth Day, and that has a local assemblyman renewing his push to have the state legislature go paperless.
Republican Jim Tedisco is hoping to get a bill passed that would make all future bills be sent digitally to lawmakers instead of relying on paper copies.
He says it will save millions of taxpayer dollars and reduce waste.
If this sounds familiar, Tedisco co-sponsored a similar bill back in 2011. It passed the assembly, but didn't go much further.
A new version is currently in the senate judiciary committee, but no action, so far, in the assembly.
