According to industry experts, the sector is facing huge slowdown in terms of domestic sales and exports.
The Indian automobile industry is expecting a boost in demand with the government hiking savings options for taxpayers.
"Auto sales numbers — except for the two-wheelers probably — have not seen significant improvement. The extension may have something to do with this."
Diesel sales had been declining since last year but demand picked up in last two months even though fuel's price has risen by Rs 10.70 per litre.
Weak monsoon could have a negative impact on the automobile sector, which is seeing early signs of improvement.
In addition to this, the lobby group for the automobile industry has also sought government support for promotion of electric and hybrid vehicles.
'Everything takes time because India has running at around 5% growth rate for the last odd one year and it is going to take a lot of time before we can get the growth rate back to the trajectory of 7-8%.'
Despite sales volume growth between 8% and 55%, analysts say it is too early to revisit their sales volume assumptions made for the next two financial years.

Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer and police Chief Charlie Beck announced today a campaign to help property owners and real estate agents comply with Proposition D, a measure regulating medical marijuana dispensaries.
Proposition D, approved in May 2013, bans all but about 100 medical marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles.
Feuer's office will be distributing brochures to real estate brokers to make sure they, as well as property owners and businesses, are "fully apprised of their responsibilities."
Since the pot shop ban took effect July 20, Feuer has filed numerous cases against both business and property owners.
"We've been prosecuting hundreds of dispensary owners, operators, managers and others -- nearly 300 such individuals have been the subject of our criminal prosecution so far," he said.
Following a combination of warning letters, criminal prosecutions and civil enforcement lawsuits, "more than 100 dispensaries have closed so far," Feuer said.
About 800 dispensaries were estimated to be operating illegally when Proposition D was approved.
Feuer recently secured an injunction against real estate brokers and a sales person involved in a planned medical marijuana dispensary in Mar Vista.
Feuer said today his attorneys "have found through our prosecution or enforcement of Proposition D that there is a lot of misinformation among realtors."
An "urban legend" has circulated agents that "the mere receipt of a business tax registration certificate displays the lawfulness of a medical marijuana business, and that is false," Feuer said.
Feuer said he was partnering with the Southland Regional Association of Realtorsto ensure its membership of about 10,000 real estate agents is better informed of the law. The organization's president, Mel Wilson, said they "want to make sure our realtor members do not get in trouble with the law, nor do we want our clients to be in trouble with the law.
"So we will do our best to educate our members about what the rules are and help get that message out to our clients so they will not be an unwilling participant in breaking the law," he said.
Feuer also said today two additional attorneys have been assigned to enforcing Proposition D, while Beck announced all 165 of the police department's senior lead officers will be trained in the law, "identifying and in some cases making notifications of illegal operations of medical marijuana dispensaries in their area of responsibility."
"I think Prop D is a work in progress and that work has been dramatically improved by the efforts to the city attorney," Beck said. "We have struggled in the state, not just in L.A., since the initial legalization of medical marijuana to find the right balance to get it to the people who need it and keep it out of neighborhoods that don't."

Biker Just Barely Avoids Certain Doom
Posted by helloexactly on Jan. 17, 2014
Posted by helloexactly on Jan. 17, 2014
@Chris-Goebel I wish you were the guy in the bike and I do wish you didn't avoid certain doom whatsoever... Idiot
If he survived then the doom wasn't "certain", was it...?
Hopefully he learned to slow down after that. That was his sign. Next time he won't be so lucky.
A tale of two idjits. One on two, the other in 4 wheels. One speeding, the other lacks common sense. Good both are OK.
@tobassco, So where exactly was any of this this guys fault? at no point did this biker do anything illegal. can't even tell if he is speeding. you pretentious douche bag.
What you didn't see is he crashed while praying.
Yes, certain dooms are worse than others!
I don't have a problem with people using machines to achieve speeds otherwise unattainable by humans, but I do have a problem when those machines posses a life threat to other drivers because "I want to go fast." I'm glad nobody got hurt but I hope this guys bike breaks down. Find a track if you want to go fast.
The other way he could have avoided the accident is by, I don't know, not going twice the speed limit. Â Â I don't have to rely on insane reaction times on my Harley as I drive 40mph in a 40mph zone, shit happens slow. Â I know, just blew your mind.
Excellent reactions, that's usually how things get worse is by not adjusting to speed when reacting to things, meaning slow speed, bigger movements, high speed bigger movements. He didn't even need to hit the car to crash, just over compensate. So poor decision to drive that fast, excellent reactions none the less.
An obviously skilled veteran biker, did not over react, said an appropriate prayer afterwards. Been there, done that.
Did he ride ?
I hope when he prayed at the end he asked GOD to give him a brain
Should have been taken out of the gene pool... moron..
If get hit that black car then he flies off his bike into oncoming traffic.
Well if he wasn't going about 100 in a 45 she might have seen him
Oh well
Most likely has a sticker on his car/truck/SUV that reads something about how drivers need to watch out for THEM.
Don't know where you drive but there are idiot drivers everywhere. This is one type who likes to push their and everyone's luck when they're driving. I'm sure you know who I mean, that one who likes to take over on a continuous line, that other one with this exponential driving confidence who will make a left turn right in front of you instead of waiting for his priority it's all day like this... day after day, this guy got lucky but it's not even surprising.Â
Praise Jeebus!
Hey Atheist. Explain to all who,designed you and is the Master Engineer of You Being You breath and live. Do You Love? You're ignorance of fact is sad. Have you ever watched a bird in flight and wonder who engineered that flight? It wasn't you!!!! Or Apes!!,,,OR THE DIRT YOUR SOUL LESS CORPSE WILL BE BURIED IN. , PH 4:13. Keep mouth shut! and Read!
Fake. This is a commercial for Cialis erectile problem pill.
Corrected title: Â Biker Justifiably Shits Himself.
I'd be filling my pants.
Hope he had a spare pair of drawers handy.
Speed can kill
he made a smart move instead of panicking and slamming on the brakes
I don't get why everyone is against motorcyclists! Clearly he was just trying to overtake the car in front because apparently it's hard to drive in a straight line as the person in the black car had difficulty with. The black car was clearly in the wrong here! A motorcyclist has no protection an this is why we always try to get into clear traffic. No doubt at least one of your family members rides a bike, and you are wishing for them to die too??!
a retarded bike driver like yourself will only avoid whats coming to you for so long.Â
speeding to your doom
I would not have cared in the least if this biker did a header. He was driving like a maniac.Â
Feel free to die. Just don't take anyone else with you.
Drive like that and get what's coming
The windshield flexes from the wind force.
Give him a gun
Second life
No braking there, it was the drag from his full pants that slowed him.
Well, drive like a cunt and accidents will find you.
I would have said a little prayer too
Haha. If he had a brain he wouldn't have done it the first time.
Nope. The one turning didn't expect somebody coming along at three times the speed limit.
Wow , at first I thought you were joking but now I'm even amazed that yes, you really are that dumb!!!
@Charles-Bodenheimer-65Â Do you love? yes I love grammarÂ
@Sam-Axe-363Â lol there was no time for brakes
@schmidt-07 Â what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
@MattP725Â @schmidt-07Â hahahahaha what you couldn't think of anything original to say??? Â Billy Madison! Great Movie. Â Now please enlighten us with your opinion on this clip instead of just trying to start arguments with everyone, and make sure to give it some thought. hahaha gotta love keyboard warriors!!!

Tom Ward and Collin Harmon are joined by former Oregon wide receiver Marshaun Tucker on this week's edition of Inside the Pac.
Alabama and Florida State hold the top two spots in the first BCS standings of the season. Oregon was a close third behind second-place Florida State.
No. 2 Oregon overcame the prolific passing of Connor Halliday for a 62-38 victory over Washington State Saturday night.

Tom Ward and Collin Harmon are joined by Kevin Leonard on this week's edition of Inside the Pac.
Mariota threw for 366 yards and three touchdowns, added another 88 yards and one TD rushing, and the second-ranked Ducks won their 10th straight over their rivals to the north with a 45-24 victory over No. 16 Washington on Saturday.
Steve Sarkisian finally has Washington where he believed they could get when he inherited the program. All they need is a validating victory, and none would be more meaningful for the 16th-ranked Huskies than to knock off No. 2 Oregon on Saturday.

This dissertation examines how Modernist autobiographical prose texts centralize ecstasy, the paradoxical experience of being beyond the normal awareness of self and time. Even seminal autobiographers such as Augustine and Rousseau confront problems in self-representation that are themselves rooted in both the limitations of linear time for articulating certain moments in a life and narrative reliance on absolute distinctions between the sentient subject and the world's objects. Alternative modern models on literary subjectivity and perspectives on discontinuous time are distilled from essays by Walter Pater, Marcel Proust, Virginia Woolf, Samuel Beckett, and Walter Benjamin. I integrate these literary interventions with phenomenological theories of subject-object collaboration in sensation and perception and Leo Bersani's theory of reciprocity between the self as an 'aesthetic subject,' and the world. The project then turns to a reexamination of autobiographical projects by James Joyce, Colette, and Jean Genet. Even it in its earliest draft forms, Joyce's novel Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1914) equates the spontaneous linguistic inventions in childhood with a foundational, sense-based form of body-world association that is severely undermined by the civilizing maturation of Stephen Dedalus, a predicament informed by Joyce's interest in cyclical theories about human history. Turning to the work of Colette, I evaluate how her novel about music-hall pantomime and dance, La Vagabonde (1910) and her pictorial and poetic memoir La Naissance du jour (1928) depict ecstatic experience in figurations of silence and solitude, breaking with the representational style around dialogue and sociability most associated with her literary self-portraits. Jean Genet's first and final memoirs Journal du voleur (1947) and Un Captif amoureux (1986), as well as his hybrid fragment essays on perception and the visual and plastic arts exemplify how lived experiences achieve significance only when their latent ecstatic properties are articulated in a nonlinear lyrical form. The dissertation concludes by suggesting how the force of authorial presence and the ecstatic dimensions of experiences are reconciled in the materiality of a highly personalized language, a perspective made paradigmatic by the idiosyncratic style of autobiographer Michel Leiris.
This dissertation is a survey of what I call "analytical fiction" in nine representative texts: Ovid's Metamorphoses, Boccaccio's Elegy of Madonna Fiammetta, Lyly's Euphues, Marguerite de Navarre's Heptameron, Lafayette's Princess of Clèves, Richardson's Clarissa and The History of Sir Charles Grandison, Austen's Persuasion, and Stendhal's Armance. My thesis examines the underlying motifs and narrative temperament of a sub-genre that depicts how narrators and characters dissect, anatomize, and interpret their own thoughts, motivations, and actions in literature written well before the formalization of psychoanalytic theory. Analytical fiction is ultimately about reading; it is concerned with the relationship between knowledge and feeling in characters, and the networks of understanding between authors and readers, between narrators and characters, and between one character and another. The plots of analytical fiction comprise narrators and characters who are constantly faced with false, incomplete, or withheld information, misprision, doubt, and confusion, leading to self-deception, jealousy, and crises of love. Above all, what these works share is a tendency on the part of the narration to keep characters apart, to trap them in a closed, confusing society, and to defer, for as long as possible, any chance of intimacy, finality, or resolution.
Because the betrayal is closely connected to the crucifixion and the resurrection, Judas Iscariot, perhaps the most infamous personage of the New Testament, occupies a privileged place in the Christian imagination. Judas figures prominently in patristic commentaries and exegetics, as well as in a number of extra-canonical texts and traditions from late Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and beyond. This project considers the matter of Judas in two apocryphal legends of the later Middle Ages, situating them between canonical and extra-canonical traditions, and focuses on their circulation in British and Irish manuscripts. This original research rests upon a philological foundation, correcting a number of errors in previous scholarship on these texts. The first legend, De ortu Judae, is an Oedipodean biography of Judas that fills in gaps left by the evangelists and uses the 30 silver coins paid to Judas as the basis of an explanation for the betrayal of Jesus. Close comparison of Latin and Middle English texts shows that Jacobus of Voragine's Legenda Aurea is the direct source of the South English Legendary version of the Judas legend, rather than the anonymous Historia Apocrypha as some scholars have suggested. A further conclusion, that the unknown SEL poet was creative and innovative, is supported by annotated translations into modern English prose of the South English Legendary chapters on Judas and Pilate. In the second legend, De gallo redivivo, the miraculous resuscitation of a cooked cock proves to Judas the error of his ways, ultimately providing a motivation for his suicide, as well as making an explicit connection between the sins of Judas's betrayal and Peter's denials of Jesus. This apocryphon also links the 30 silver coins paid to Judas with the 30 silver hoops placed around the rood-tree by King David, centuries before its wood was made into Christ's cross. An examination of the Latin manuscript traditions demonstrates that, despite thematic similarities, De ortu Judae and De gallo redivivo hardly ever circulated together, and that, moreover, they were not integrated into a continuous narrative. Analysis of Judas texts from the Leabhar Breac and several other late medieval Irish manuscripts yields a preliminary conclusion that while De gallo redivivo was attested in the Irish vernacular, De ortu Judae was not well represented in Ireland and may even have been unknown there. Another conclusion that may be drawn from the test case of Judas is that there was always a great deal of interaction between canonical scriptures and apocryphal writings, and, for that matter, between official interpretations and popular traditions.
My 2005 translation of Mouloud Feraoun's Le Fils du pauvre, Menrad, instituteur kabyle, sought to correct an historical error by presenting this Algerian Francophone classic to an American audience for the first time since its publication in 1950. A central figure of the first generation of Algerian intellectuals to compellingly represent in fictional form the internal lives of native people during the era of French colonialism, Feraoun (1917-1962) embodied a moderate, humanist, culturally situated viewpoint that was ultimately sacrificed by all sides to the extremism and violence of decolonization. Choosing to work from the original edition, rather than the edition edited for French audiences on the eve of the Algerian revolution, my translation restores an entire section of the novel and offers a new glimpse of Feraoun's larger literary project. The work presented here is dual in form: As a translation commentary, it seeks to evoke, trace and illuminate the wager of Feraoun's first autobiographical novel from its inception to it troubled reception and its continuing impact. As a translation journey, it offers an evocative meditation on the audacity of any writer to pass from silence to authorship and sketches out in a comparative framework the connections and disconnections between Algeria and America. I argue that we have not translated Feraoun because Feraoun's work mapped a territory whose political boundaries imploded, yet whose human parameters were and remain universal. Today, we have much to gain from listening to the astute, ironic and deeply humane interrogations of this Berber-Muslim voice.
This thesis is the first full-length study to compare Dostoevsky's and James's mutually illuminating concepts of art and its relation to life. It examines Dostoevsky's and James's artistic and intellectual kinship through the hitherto overlooked structural and thematic parallels between their fiction and criticism. Both authors distinguish between two concepts of reality: the external, objective reality--the raw material of life, infinitely rich and abundant, but ultimately meaningless in its indiscriminate inclusiveness; and what James calls the "transmuted real," reality rendered meaningful through individual perception and experience and reflected in art. When it comes to the inner reality of the self, one finds in the fiction of Dostoevsky and James the same distinction between the "raw" material of interior reality, indeterminate and "unfinalizable," and the meaningful social identity formed in the process of self-actualization--the creative effort of life-writing. Dostoevsky's "White Nights" and James's "The Beast in the Jungle" are examples of failure at life-writing resulting from individual consciousness' disengagement and isolation from external world. Concerned as they are with the inner workings of the psyche, Dostoevsky and James nevertheless stress that a living consciousness is characterised by interaction, i.e. it is always conscious of other consciousnesses. Yet Daisy Miller and Notes from the Underground dramatize the problems inherent in such interaction. Both novellas focus on the discrepancy between the essential indeterminacy of the self and the social and cultural identities through which it is allowed to express itself in a social setting. The freedom to preserve indeterminacy and potentiality is presented in both novellas as the chief law of life, yet indeterminacy is incompatible with communal living. In The Idiot and The Wings of the Dove, Dostoevsky and James present artistic imagination and such forms of literary activity as plotting, scripting, reading and narrating as essential parts of self-scripting strategies of the characters confronted with this predicament. Despite Myshkin's and Milly's failures as heroes, they nevertheless succeed in realizing their artistic potential, embodying art's capacity for reconciling the self's vital impulses for being and for seeing, and therefore for meeting both aesthetic and ethical demands of life.
The present study is a critical edition and translation into English of the New York City prison letters of St. John de Crèvecoeur. The letters were first published in French in the 1784 and 1787 editions of Lettres d'un cultivateur américain. Until now, these five autobiographical stories of the author's 1779 incarceration by the British during the American Revolution have been unavailable to English readers. Consisting of a critical introduction, annotated translation, photographs, illustrations, and an appendix, this dissertation fuses the literary with the historical. St. John de Crèvecoeur's suspenseful, impassioned account of the most harrowing experience in his life is amplified by historical research that fleshes out wartime events and the actual lives of his fellow sufferers in the notorious Provost Gaol. The critical introduction identifies themes that course through the prison stories, and indeed much of St. John de Crèvecoeur's work as a whole: the horrors and contingencies of civil war, along with the perils of neutrality and artificiality of allegiances. The introduction then examines the generic properties of the prison letters: they share qualities of the epistolary, sentimental, and captivity narrative. Finally, the stories are placed into historical context, followed by a discussion of the implications of this prison episode in the assessment of St. John de Crèvecoeur's life and work. The letters themselves begin with the "The Generous Daughter," a story of a man whose daughter's efforts to secure his release inspire wonder and admiration in all the inmates. "Anecdote of Sergeant B. A." anatomizes the movements, countenance and behavior of a man about to be executed. "The Ill-Fated Father" is the portrait of a defiant old man whose sons are wantonly murdered. "Circumstances" is principally the author's own story, recounting the torments he suffers, as well as the kindnesses bestowed on him, during his three-month confinement in the Provost. "Last Letter" recreates the suspenseful night on which the author discovers that he will finally be released from prison. Acts of benevolence that defy partisan expectations elicit his wonder as readily as acts of arbitrary vileness.
Much has been written about the unprecedented proliferation of sensationalist literature in the nineteenth century but very little about its origins. Such an oversight leaves our sense of early American literary history incomplete and even distorted by some persistent misconceptions about the concept of sensationalism and its place in American culture. In this dissertation I devise methodical ways of approaching this subject and explain its significance in the formation of American literary conventions. My project expands the scope of recent scholarship on sensationalist literature by examining the two areas which have so far been neglected in American studies: the origins of the American tradition of sensationalism and its place in the transatlantic context. As I demonstrate, the spectacular rise of sensationalist literature in the nineteenth century was not a spontaneous development. It grew out of a long domestic tradition of sensationalist rhetoric that emerged in the colonial period--much earlier than what is commonly perceived as the first significant outbreak of literary sensationalism in the aftermath of the American Revolution. Furthermore, patterns of provocative rhetoric, which also emerged early in the colonial period, formed an enduring rhetorical tradition whose proponents relied on a set of recognizable conventions that made a notable impact on American literary history.
Abstract RELIGIOUSLY BASED MORALITY IN THE THEATRE OF OSTROVSKY by Olga Muratova Adviser: Professor Daniel C. Gerould The dissertation offers a new way of interpreting Alexander Ostrovsky's dramas. The Ostrovsky scholarship is systematic, thorough, and well documented, but it may overlook a particular aspect of the playwright's work, that of Christian, and more specifically Russian Orthodox, morality. The dissertation correlates facts of Ostrovsky's biography (some of which were not publicized during the Soviet era), textual content of his dramas, and biblical conceptual language in them with the historical and cultural context of nineteenth-century Russia, revealing religiously based didacticism in the playwright's oeuvre. A coherent explanation of the factors (historical, ethnological, theological, epistemological, and, at least partially, ontological) that shaped Ostrovsky's life views and consequently his writing is offered as a key element of the argument presented. The writer's four metanarratives (guilt vs. shame; sin; money; theatre), which are being singled out as dominant in his dramas, are looked at from the standpoint of his understanding and interpretation of Christian doctrines. Previous research traditionally labeled a number of Ostrovsky's plays atypical for his writing style, thus creating an exclusive approach to the interpretation of the body of his work. However, if Ostrovsky is regarded as a didactic author who embodied within his plays certain attitudes about morality, which were the outgrowths of religion-influenced ethical positions of his time, exclusions become unnecessary and every drama conforms to a unifying pattern. By shedding more light on Ostrovsky's work and grounding it in Russian Orthodoxy, the dissertation demonstrates that while the playwright should be considered a realist in form, the content of his plays renders them moral fables, rooted in the Bible and the teachings of the Russian national church.
Abstract BLOOD: A VICTORIAN IDEA IN THE FLESH by Raluca Musat Adviser: Professor Felicia Bonaparte Based on a large body of primary works in science, philosophy, political economy and literature, this study argues that in the nineteenth century novel the meaning of "blood" changes from genealogy, as employed in the service of the aristocracy, to capacity for generosity and affection, conceived as able to counteract the godless secularism and money worship haunting the industrialized England of the time. "Good blood" begins to mean possessing these qualities more relevant to the needs of the time. Nevertheless, the old associations with noble genealogy continue to exercise influence imaginatively, through the connection with ancestors reputed to have been exceptional in some way, and in some respects practically, through the wealth and political clout still left the aristocracy. This inherent power is not to be wasted but repurposed by novelists, in an effort to reconcile the two meanings of the term and put the fable of blood behind the qualities required of true leaders. The study establishes the versatility of the word, which denotes, more than just social standing, physiological as well as moral and affective predispositions. This wide adaptability of meaning stems from the duality of blood, its physical concreteness coupled with unusual powers of suggestiveness. In showing that these can be manipulated to give authority to self-serving ideas, novelists dismantle the old prejudices in favor of hereditary titles and coats-of-arms. However, they continue to make use of the metaphoric potential intrinsic to the idea of blood to suggest that all people are bound in a fellowship of mankind and that those who are strong have a duty to help the weak. This spirit of altruism is apt to create a new set of relationships benefitting from associations with blood only in the derivative sense of parental care, brotherly love, and affinities of the heart. The goal is to reconstruct British society on the organic model of a great family, with an aristocracy of talent, and possibly even of birth, at its head, but functioning in a benevolently paternal way. This is not the end of the aristocracy but, rather, an opportunity to justify its privileges anew.

Financial language baffles outsiders with its jargon and density. Such opacity is not necessarily sinister: sometimes words are complicated because reality is complicated. But we should make a special effort to understand. "Incomprehension is a form of consent. If we allow ourselves not to understand this language, we are signing off on the prospect of an ever-widening gap between the rich and everyone else" (3,500 words)

Review of Michael Lewis's "Flash Boys", about high-frequency trading, which has made stock markets "secret and mysterious" to outsiders. "The principle on which much market legislation rests is that it's illegal to trade on the basis of information that is not publicly available.

Lanchester's capacity to render plainly and relatively calmly the monstrosities of the banking system during and since the 2008 crisis make him the most reliable and, by the same token, the most terrifying financial commentator for the intelligent general reader, Matt Taibbi notwithstanding.

Banks' Barely Believable Behaviour
Short history of scandals in the British banking industry since the 2008 crash. Short in proportion to the scandals, that is, which were many and colossal, most recently the mass selling of insurance to people who couldn't claim on it. As Lanchester says, it may be fortunate for the banks that so many scandals came in such a short period, defying attempts to grasp the scale and folly of any one of them individually. Read this and weep (6,700 words)

Fantasy and sci-fi books may sell millions of copies, but general readers of literary usually won't touch them. Why is Game different?

It's addictive. Hence the worry over whether George Martin will ever finish it (4,617 words)

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I use rice with many meals and this is a great rice cooker. I used to cook rice on the stove, but since getting this rice cooker I use rice a lot more often. I had a Krups coffee maker from many years ago that I loved, so I knew this was a good brand. I've had this rice cooker for about a year now and it works great just like from day one.10 cup capacity is greatUsually I only make 2 cups, but I love that this is large enough for when serving a large number of guests. Nonstick Bottom Makes Clean up EasyThe bottom of the rice hasn't stuck at all for me and clean up is so easy. Usually I soak the rice at the bottom for a little while with warm water and then use a gentle sponge and clean up is so easy. Clean up is so easy with this rice cooker.After Cooking Switches to Warming ModeAfter cooking the rice the machine automatically switches to warming mode. I've never let it sit longer than 30 minutes, so I don't really know how great the warming mode works, but after 30 minutes the rice is still hot and tastes great.Great for Cooking Sausage as WellMany times I add a few already cooked sausage links on the top of the rice so they get steam cooked while the rice cooks. This is one my family's favorite meals and it is very easy to cook.

Colombia shifts from drugs to food in farm expansion
BOGOTA (Reuters) – Colombia plans to nearly double agricultural land growing crops for food and biofuel, part of a new investment boom in the country as violence ebbs from a decades-long internal conflict fueled by drug profits.

of oil and mining royalties to overhauling the health system
and government finances. Already Colombia's fiscal performance
during the global economic crisis and Santos' promises to deal
with deficits prompted Standard and Poor's to grant the country
investment grade, and other credit agencies will likely soon
follow. [ID:nN11250209]
Colombia central bank ups growth view, hikes rate
BOGOTA, April 29 (Reuters) – Colombia's central bank raised
its 2011 growth forecast on Friday and increased interest rates
for the third time this year but did not take any new measures
to curb the strength of the country's currency.
Latin America's fifth-biggest economy is among regional
economies such as Brazil, Chile and Peru that have raised
interest rates to fight inflation spurred by higher fuel and
food costs.

I think this was debatable:
"Yet he forged strong working relationships with the likes of Leonid Brezhnev and Mao"
Brezhnev still persisted with a huge domestic military buildup, and both he and Mao continued to support North Vietnam.
Maybe if Nixon was able to serve out his entire term he would have been able to conduct a detente with the Soviets with more muscle, and effectiveness from the point of view of America's interests?
Otherwise, Nixon's real foreign policy achievement was really in the Middle East, with the aid of Henry Kissinger. They pried apart Israel and Egypt and helped set the groundwork for Camp David towards the latter end of the decade.
They don't get points for Vietnam in my opinion since it took a full term to reach a flawed peace settlement. Granted Nixon had to square one heck of a circle, with a public that tired of the war but didn't just want to bugout outright.
Transcripts over the India Pakistan war are not exactly charitable to Nixon and Kissinger - in fact makes them look a bit like unhinged frat boys.
I have often wondered if it was just a coincidence that Nixon seemed to go off the rails at a time when there were no living former presidents who could have provided some sort of psychological balance.
Wow, that's one heck of a hit piece on JFK.
Anyway, per a USPC Presidential Ranking study (which looks pretty comprehensive), out of 44 total president -
JFK is ranked 11th.
Nixon, 30th.
First, Kennedy got assassinated, so that tends to evoke more sympathetic sentiments. Conversely Nixon was forced to resign, after a country got pretty polarized, both under his administration and the prior one.
As for Vietnam, there are valid points about Kennedy's responsibility. However, Kennedy was still largely sending professionals - Green Berets, advisors, specialists, pilots, etc. The escalation didn't take place until after he died, under LBJ.
Conversely Nixon got caught in a dynamic of fighting and talking that stretched out from 1969 to 1973. More than a year of that in Korea helped wrecked Truman's Presidency, so imagine what four years could do for one's position in history.
As for China, well the country may not have been completely out of the "Who lost China" rhetoric by the time of Kennedy's administration. And Kennedy had to run on a strong defense, playing up assertions of bomber gaps and missile gaps that proved not true.
Period? If you are unable to open up to debate then consider leaving TE forums, the word period doesnt really have any place here.
And by the way, you are wrong, unless of course you mean it in relative terms because JFK, Reagan and the Bushes were all more of an ass than he was.
It's a Gate-gate!
One bit of his legacy not mentioned but still ubiquitous is the media's use of the suffix "-gate" to describe any scandal, from politics ("Monicagate" in the Clinton years) to sports ("Spygate", "Bountygate"). That suffix has been used and abused for over 40 years now, and we have Dick Nixon to thank for that.
Nixon deserves little respect. He and his crony, Spiro Agnew, disgraced the office of the president and vice-president. What other American administration has had to resign those offices due to corruption? For me, what was most egregious about the man was how he cynically kept the Vietnam War going for four years so he could use it as a re-election platform.
A man with out a moral compass? what else is new of any US President?
Try Carter for probity or uprightness, or Ford.
How crooked? Much less than Kennedy and more moral than Clinton.America's greatest but most underrated post war President,Richard Nixon.
You have an interesting way of interpreting what you read. I didn't compare him to Adolf Hitler, I compared a specific aspect of his foreign policy to Hitler. It isn't the same thing. You can go read Seymour Hersh's book, if you would like, as I am merely paraphrasing from his journalistic account of the events leading up to the Watergate scandal.
Richard Nixon was guilty of a conspiracy to cover-up the Watergate burglary. He did not conspire or participate in the burglary itself. For this he would have been impeached if he did not resign. No one died during this burglary or its cover-up.
What he did does not compare in any way to what is now going on in Washington DC with the current administration. Eric Holder, the US Attorney General, was running guns into Mexico (Fast and Furious) and refusing to admit his knowledge of the operation. The death of a US border patrolman was tied to one of these guns. We have no idea how many Mexicans were killed by the drug lords who obtained these weapons smuggled into Mexico from the UIS. The Benghazi cover-up of the terrorist murders of the Americans in the consulate and the ensuing cover-up by the Obama administration with the implicit cooperation of most of the main stream media is another example of the sheer crookedness of the current administration. The Congress has not been allowed to interview the other thirty staffers who were injured during the terrorist attack.
But not to worry, the media and news publications love Barack Obama our new savior.
When do you think Nixon "went off the rails"?
Now Truman died in December of 1972; while LBJ passed away in January of 1973.
There are some who got pretty worked up over Nixon's policies pertaining to Cambodia (although the VC and North Vietnamese were doing most of the "violating" of "neutrality"), at least with the incursions in the spring of 1970.
Others point out to odd actions during the lawsuit over the Pentagon Papers in 1971, notably the breakins into various places associated with Daniel Ellsberg (home maybe, believe his psychiatrist's office, etc.; Henry Kissinger seemed more worked up though).
There are many who felt Nixon was into dirty tricks during the primary season of 1972 as well as the campaign (which led to the Watergate burgularly).
And of course, others against the war were not happy about Nixon's support for South Vietnam during the Eastertide invasion/offensive by the North. With Linebacker I and II, Nixon went all out against the North in terms of strategic bombing, mining harbors (setting up a virtual blockade), and supporting the South with massive firepower and supplies.
I have never been a supporter of Nixon and do not deny Watergate happened. What is puzzling is why Nixon was hounded so that he had to resign to avoid impeachment when other Presidents, for crimes not any less serious did not have to. Examples- President Johnson's Gulf of Tonkin Incident, Reagan's Iran-Contra fiasco, GW BUSH's WMD and the Iraq war. I have been pondeing this for many years and have my own conclusions that is now in a book "Watergate -The Political Assassination". You need an open mind to read it, as it has a most amazing account of the events. Why were the Watergate culprits apprehended at their third attempt at breaking in? Why did two of the arrested Cubans have details of Howard Hunt in their diaries that pointed to the White House when H Hunt had already left the White House months ago? Why did the dollar bills found on the culprits have consecutive serial numbers?
Anwsers need to be supplied.
The best work to deal with Richard Milhouse Nixon is Robert Altmans film - "Secret Honor" which could be subtitled the 'tragedy of power'. He could never fill the shoes of Eisenhower & was unable to understand that. A foul-mouthed, foul-minded Quaker who thought nothing of incinerating Cambodians and making deals with genocidal Communists but still he is too much the panto villain where simple, bland men have probably done more harm behind the scenes.
I still think those rookie cub-reporters Woodward & Bernstein were exceedingly lucky to have the No.2 of the FBI (and who knows who else) to help them stumble on to the greatest political scandal of the century.
The South is not people who don't vote the way you want. Maryland is also one of the former slave states.
If Watergate hadn't been blown wide open, Nixon would've been as revered as Reagan today, at least by Republicans. Does the fact that a politician is caught in the act mean he's a particularly corrupt politician, or does it mean other politicians are simply not caught? Looking at children, isn't it usually the least guilty but most gullible kid that is caught, because the other cleverer kids have already got away?
It seems to me that, from a scientific point of view, we should place less weight on things like scandals and assassinations when evaluating presidents, because those are statistically extreme events. These outliers are no doubt interesting materials for storytelling, but they also bias our overall assessment.
Boring twosome with nothing to show for their time in office - as far as Carter goes he had only disasters while Ford was a lame duck from the start, an accidental President with nothing to show except possibly a pardon.
What I think is interesting is those on the Right who preach morality and personal responsibility -
Also promote presidents with low integrity scores, like Nixon, Bush 2 and Reagan -
While demonizing those with high integrity scores, like Carter and Obama.
So, so much for morality from the Right. :)

And their call for war on poverty is a smokescreen we don't need, cos the only war worth fighting for is a war on their pure greed.

We stayed here a couple of nights with our kids who were on spring break. The room was clean, but could stand a bit of upkeep. The toilet was slow and plugged while we were there. Were given a plunger upon request. Having stayed at Best Western Hotels in the past, we expected a bit more for the free breakfast which consisted of OJ, milk, coffee, 3 types of cereal, biscuits, hard boiled eggs and glazed doughnuts. The Wi-Fi worked, but seemed a bit on the slow side even thought the connection was good. The write-up states that there in an indoor pool as did the sign for the establishment when we drove up. The pool is really an outdoor pool with a glass enclosure and is really a 3-season pool at best. When we were there it was closed and infested with a really bad case of algae. Quite nasty looking. There are pleny of restaurants nearby to choose from and Chattanooga is about 10 minutes away. Overall it was OK, but I believe that there are probably better alternatives in the area to choo...

Desk clerk tells me to come to office to get codes...NOT. My husband calls him back and he gives him the codes over the phone. Remote still doesn't work. He goes back to office to get remote changed...still doesn't work. They end up giving us one from another room after he came to our room because he was convinced my husband was not doing it right. So, I end up hiding in the bathroom after having to get out of jacuzzi so the clerk could come to room......wasted night!!! Then to sit and look at dirt on the floor just topped it all off.

First, the staff we encountered were awesome. Patient, helpful, and very friendly. Then, at breakfast, we were at the end and the staff made us fresh coffee and refilled the waffle batter and syrup just for the 3 of us! Most would have said tough!
The room could have been cleaned better, there was dust along the lamp mounting and headboard. Also, our room was missing a chair and just had a big empty space. Took the a/c forever to cool the room so they should start that early for confirmed guests.We got there late, around ten, and the front desk lady got us extra coffee and hunted down some of the sweetener I prefer.
