Grade I winner Stephen Got Even was retired from racing due to an injury the colt sustained while training toward a start in the Woodward Stakes (gr. I). The 4-year-old son of A.P. Indy--Immerse, by Cox's Ridge, will stand in 2001 for a fee of $30,000 live foal at Lane's End Farm near Versailles, Ky.Owned by Stephen and Tomisue Hilbert, Stephen Got Even earned $1,019,200 from 11 starts, five of which were wins. Following a two-length win over First American in a Gulfstream Park allowance race in February 1999, Stephen Got Even was sent on the Kentucky Derby trail, winning the Gallery Furniture.com Stakes (gr. II) by 2 1/2 lengths. Sent off as the second-choice in the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) behind the coupled entry of General Challenge and Excellent Meeting, he finished a troubled 14th, beaten by 8 3/4 lengths. The Nick Zito trainee then finished fourth in the Preakness (gr. I) and fifth in the Belmont Stakes (gr. I). Stephen Got Even next raced in September, winning an allowance race against older horses before coming home third in the Woodward Stakes (gr. I) and fourth in the Jockey Club Gold Cup (gr. I), both won by River Keen. His only 2000 start was a 3/4-length win over Golden Missile in the $500,000 Donn Handicap (gr. I), his lone grade I win."We are very excited to have Stephen Got Even return to Lane's End," said William S. Farish, who bred the colt in partnership with the late W.S. Kilroy. "He's an outstanding looking individual, with a sire pedigree that is a complete outcross to Northern Dancer and Mr. Prospector."According to a Lane's End release, Stephen Got Even should arrive at Lane's End within the next week and will be available for viewing during the Keeneland September sale.

Yesterday I went for a run on San Bruno Mountain to break in my new Asics trail shoes. The mountain was hidden in fog - it was a wet run.
I guess the rabbits on the mountain felt safe in the fog from the red tail hawks that normally hunt them. I saw about two dozen bunnies during my run.
My legs felt good, and I really powered the hills - great run compared to some runs the last few days when I felt like a:

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians: 'I think Michael Floyd is starting to reach his potential'
In the days following his hiring, Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians met with a handful of players not only to introduce himself but to share his expectations for the coming season.
One of those players was second-year wide receiver Michael Floyd, who had an up-and-down rookie campaign in Arizona under the direction of Ken Whisenhunt, catching 45 balls for 562 yards and two touchdowns.
Whatever was spoken between player and coach during their initial meeting certainly sparked a fire underneath the former No. 13 overall pick, as he had a career year in 2013. Floyd caught 65 passes for a team-leading 1,041 yards to go along with five touchdowns.
"I think Michael is starting to reach his potential," Arians told the assembled media at the NFL Combine this week. "He had what I considered a breakout year with over 1,000 yards. He still needs to be a little more consistent each week."
During his breakout year, the former Notre Dame standout had a remarkable streak that spanned the entire month of January, catching 25 straight passes for first downs, culminating with a 31-yard, game-winning touchdown reception in a 16-10 win at Seattle.
But Arians admitted that what impressed him most from the still-maturing wideout was his ability to play through pain. Despite suffering from a handful of maladies, including a sprained shoulder and ailing ankle, Floyd played in all 16 of Arizona's contests.
"He played through injuries for the first time, which is a huge step for a young player to play through injuries," said Arians. "A lot of times they'll just sit themselves down. He wanted to win. He wanted to help us win. I thought he made great strides.
"Now this year, can he do it again? That'll be the question for him."
If he can, the Cardinals might have found their star wide receiver of the future.

DreamHost Gives Debian Wheezy Linux the Boot in Favor of Ubuntu
Dreamhost is one of the most popular web hosting companies and it has long been a strong support of Debian Linux.
Dreamhost isn't making the move to Wheezy which was recently released. Instead Dreamhost is moving to Ubuntu - apparently because they see it as being more stable.
"About ten months ago, we realized that the next installation of Debian was upcoming, and after upgrading about 20,000 machines since Debian 6 (aka Squeeze) was released, we got pretty tired," Dreamhost developer Brett Gailey wrote in a blog post. "The release cycle for Debian is stable, but it's not long enough for us to focus on stability."
Umm really? Debian isn't stable enough?

Jolla's Open Source iPad Alternative Raises More Than $1M In Two Days' Crowdfunding
Late last week Finnish mobile startup Jolla launched a crowdfunding campaign for a tablet running its open source Sailfish OS, smashing past its initial funding goal of $380,000 in a couple of hours. It has since pushed past the $1 million mark, with around $1.18M now pledged from more than 7,370 backers of the Indiegogo campaign. Speaking in an interview with TechCrunch prior to the campaign kicking off Jolla co-founder Marc Dillon was bullish. "I think we're going to sell out," he said. "I believe that we will quickly see the small initial targets, we will put up some stretch goals. I think that we're going to sell a lot of tablets."

Convention center to get $2M makeover
Published: January 21,2013
Tags: center, city, convention, enhancement, facility, government, improvement, meeting, municipal, municipality, renovation, visitor
COLUMBUS — A $2 million-plus renovation of the Trotter Convention Center will begin later this year, city officials say.
The Commercial Dispatch reports work on the city-owned building could take up to two years.
Mayor Robert Smith said initial work will be done on the interior, including installing Wi-Fi, upgrading restrooms, installing a new elevator from the Second Avenue North entrance and installing a new sound system and lighting.
Exterior improvements include redoing copper awnings, installing restrooms in the courtyard and adding benches.
The center was created in 1983 by an act of the Mississippi Legislature to serve Lowdnes County.
Funding for the renovations will come from a tax agreement between the city and Columbus Light and Water. The city will pay back $200,000 a year for 20 years on the project.
"Columbus Light and Water will pay the city a fee instead of sales tax," Chief Operations Officer David Armstrong said. Armstrong said the city had collected $1.6 million under the deal and Columbus Light and Water will provide an additional $400,000.
The utility also is working with the city on an energy efficiency project that will provide lighting upgrades in most city buildings including City Hall, the Columbus Police Department and five fire stations.

Dear Reader,
There's one community on Mexico's Caribbean coast that keeps grabbing Ronan McMahon's attention. It's on the cusp of an explosion in popularity…which means property prices are set to boom.
When they do, you'll be hard pressed to find an opportunity as affordable as the one Ronan outlines below.

$550 a Month: Your Own Money-Making Condo Near the Best Beaches
Dear Reader,
The best beaches in Mexico are just 70 minutes down the coast from Cancun. It's a place of utter beauty and tranquility—azure blue water and total silence except for the roar of the surf.
But it's not just about white-sand beaches. This region is rich in culture, history, and natural beauty…Mayan ruins and exotic wildlife.
Offshore, the world's second-longest coral reef, teeming with brightly-colored tropical fish, hugs the coastline. This area attracts divers, snorkelers, golfers, hikers, potholers…it's all here.
This is Tulum, an area that is starting to boom in popularity. But the chance to own here is limited. That's because of the Sian Ka'an Biosphere (a nature preserve just outside Tulum), which is surrounded by wild jungle and ancient Mayan cities.
The protected biosphere reserve means that much of the land in Tulum can't be developed. This is a natural barrier to entry and future competing supply.
The land that can be developed will only feature low-rise and low-density developments—there'll never be a mass market sprawl here. Tulum will remain a secluded, high-end paradise.
However, right now, in a quiet wooded corner here, just off the third fairway of a world-class golf course, you'll still find an opportunity to buy at an incredible price.
On offer are loft condos, within an established resort community, which offers amenities and entertainment like golf, yoga, massages, and more. These lofts will soon be released. But thanks to a special deal I've negotiated, there's a way to buy now—at $32,500 less than the launch price. Members of my Real Estate Trend Alert group can take advantage of this deal. (You can, too, when you register for the Open House here.)
As part of this members-only deal, you could lock down one of these luxury condos with monthly payments of just $550.
This is an area that will continue to grow in popularity in the coming years. As more folks catch on to what this community—and Tulum—has to offer, more will want to vacation here or buy a second home, which means more renters will want to stay in the condo (when you're not using it for yourself, of course) and more prospective buyers will want to take it off your hands when you feel it's time to cash out.
Tulum is, and will stay, boutique. This is where you'll come for a yoga retreat, to learn a new skill, or to just chill. There are trendy new restaurants, too, and you'll get to see the strength of the vacation rental market here.
With a small down payment and manageable monthly payments of only $550, you could choose to spend as much time as you wanted down here—and find a sizeable and constant rental market when you weren't using the property. Renters will come here in their droves. These condos are in a luxury boutique community that's part of a major master resort community.
This is a place where you'll want to spend time, which is one of the reasons for the profit potential we have. As more folks catch on to this region, the number of people who will want to come for vacation or to buy a second home will increase—which means more renters and prospective buyers for us (when it's time to cash out).

Top post-draft needs: NFC South
Personnel gaps left for the Falcons, Panthers, Saints and Bucs
This is the final installment of an eight-part series in which Football Outsiders looks at the biggest post-draft needs for every NFL team. Last week consisted of the AFC teams, by division, while this week focused on the NFC.
Today, Outsiders looks at the NFC South.
Atlanta Falcons: Returner
With the departure of Eric Weems to the Chicago Bears, the Falcons need to find a punt and kickoff return man.
Coach Mike Smith said early in the week that slot receiver Harry Douglas and reserve cornerback Dominique Franks were leading candidates for the return jobs. Douglas returned punts as a rookie in 2008, averaging 11.9 yards per return and scoring one touchdown. He also returned four kickoffs, uneventfully, that year. Franks returned one punt for zero yards last season.
The Falcons did not address the return game or receiver depth in the draft, but they did sign some rookie free agents who fit the return man profile.
To read the rest of Football Outsiders' analysis of the Atlanta Falcons, plus the biggest post-draft needs for every other team in the NFC South, you must be an ESPN Insider.

I'd like to begin by saing that I don't agree with the statement that life is much better today than in the past. I like historical books and movies, so sometiomes I'd just like to go back to the past and move into the times of Scarlett O'Hara, polish golden age or the Ancient Rome. Living in past seems more interesting to me that living in the present day, when people are always in hurry and care only about money and career. They don't live with each other but next to each other. However living in past not always was the idyll, there were three factors which decided about it: First of all - the financial and social status. Life wasn't easy for slaves or farmers.
They had to work very hard and could be killed only because of their owner's bad mood. But on the other hand kings, nobility and church dignitaries lived in the lap of luxury, spending time on the feasts and huntings. They were rich enough to have beautiful houses, carriages, clothes, lots of servants and full larders without doing anything.
Next important thing was a gender - being a woman was nothing but misery. They couldn't do anything interesting except sitting in house, weaving, cooking and waiting for their husbands. Whats more - women couln't even choose husbands theirselves. They couldn't go to school (maybe it wasn't so bad) and often were the victims of the witch- hunting and ended their lives on the pyries. In contrast men could do whatever they wanted, for example - fight the duels and kill their enemies without any punishment or have the mistresses.
The last factor was the place and time of living. It was a misfortune to be borne during the World War II, the Great Plague in England in 1665 or partitions in Poland. Nevertheless people who were living in Roman Empire, United States before demolition of slavery or Poland in its golden age had nothing to complain. Every country had its ups and downs and every century was different in various countries and that's why place and time should be considered together.
In conclusion: living in the past was not always easy. It all depended on various historical circumstances. Living in the present day has its advantages like electricity or tap water but it lost a lot of romanticism and charm. However we can still imagine being a princess in a beautiful dress with a corset who takes part in a ball on a castle...

Scott Lively Finds More 'Proof' That Obama Is Gay, Having an Affair with Reggie Love
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 2/21/2013 5:20 pm
Pastor Scott Lively of Defend the Family, who is best known for his anti-gay activism in Uganda, is once again pushing the claim that President Obama is secretly gay. Like fellow conservative activists Jerome Corsi and Vic Eliason, Lively believes that President Obama is covering up his gay past.
Today, he finds new "proof" in a Weekly Standard article which notes that Obama went on a weekend trip with his aide Reggie Love over the weekend…without the First Lady.

Two professors say they are disappointed with the universe after learning that it is "smoother" and "flatter" than they expected. The compared the discovery to a trip to Switzerland that was switched for a trip to the Netherlands.

Keywords: astronomers, model, universe, clusters
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Instead of majestic soaring alpine peaks, two astronomers say the universe resembles more the countryside of the Netherlands. The British astronomers compared recent observations of the cosmic background radiation to the number of galaxy clusters in the universe. Their study shows that the leading model of how the universe is formed does not match what is actually observed, specifically, there should be more galaxy clusters in the universe.
Astronomers agree that the universe was formed over 13.7 billion years ago in an event known as the Big Bang. This cosmic explosion, which represents the instant in which the universe was created, still echoes in the form of the cosmic background radiation, a faint afterglow of the Big Bang. This afterglow is uniformly seen no matter where astronomers look.
From that epic event, matter clumped together, forming stars, then galaxies, and galaxies formed into clusters of galaxies.
Based on the models that are used to describe the events following the Big Bang, we expect to see a large number of galaxy clusters throughout the known universe. However, the number of clusters we can actually observe is lower than what the model predicts, by a factor of at least two.
That discrepancy was discovered by Astronomy professor Chris Collins and Dr. Ian McCarthy from Liverpool's John Moores University. Professor Collins used an analogy to convey his disappointment:
"Have you ever booked a holiday to Switzerland expecting to trek the Alpine mountain ranges only to be disappointed by ending up walking the flat countryside of Holland? Similar disappointment was felt when Dr. McCarthy and I conducted an experiment to measure the number of large massive clumps in the Universe, called clusters of galaxies."
He continued, "Science is at its most interesting when prediction and experiment disagree and so although our cosmic landscape is smoother than we thought, this may mean we need to re-think bits of our cosmological theory and such progress is good for science in the long run."
"Although the perceived wisdom was that we would find lots of big clusters, in fact, when we looked, the Universe did not live up to our expectation and we found far fewer of these really huge structures than expected."
So what does this mean?
It means that either the professors made a mistake in their work, that we cannot identify all of the clusters that are out there and we may be missing some, or it means that the models used to describe the formation of the universe are incomplete.
Which is correct will require the work of other scientists who will analyze their methods and repeat their tests. If Collins and McCarthy are correct then cosmologists will need to account for the discrepancy and either locate the missing factor or revise their models.
If nothing else, this shows the self-correcting power of science. Mistakes can be made, however they are also corrected over time and each new discovery adds to our body of knowledge. We still have a great many questions about our physical universe, but as long as we wonder, we will continue to find new answers that will excite us and drive at the very core of our being.

Indians' and many articles from many others have been claiming "india catchs up with China" for long time. This is just another one. The truth is that the economical gap between China and India increased from 3 times to 4 times, let along the huge gap of in absolute size.
The more young population cannot always transfer more advantage in economy. Otherwise, African could be the best place for doing business. The commonwealth games is telling the true facts about India. It is incompetent, corrupted, chaos, Indians oftern talk big that they cannot deliver. A footbridge for such a big event can even collapse, what else you can expect?
Education is the key to manpower in modern era. India is a country with about only 61% of literacy rate. When Reliance decided to build a gas pipeline in India, the company could not even find enough skilled labor to do the jobs and had to ask help from a Chinese company and thousands Chinese were sent to India to finished the jobs. A 7-km Bridge in Mumbai took Indians 10 years to build with the most difficult part was build by a Chinese company. If population cannot be converted to valid labor force, that's a huge burden to the society, and would do nothing good to that country.
Yes, India has been predicting a lot of good thing about the country's future. They fulfiled anything? Reducing the property rates from 51% in 1990 to 21% in 2015? Do you believe it can happen? Even today 46% of Indian kids has malnutrition problem, 2 million indian kids of less than 5 died each year with half caused by starvation. 1000 pregant Indian women are dying in everyday now.
The US$35 tablet mentioned in the article was actually designed and made by HiVision, a Chinese company. Also the cost of the parts are at least US$35 in China, where you can find cheapest parts. DO you think Indians can do it?
Unlike Japan, China and the rest of the developed world, which is flooded with surplus capacity, India is running at over 100% capacity over its dilapidated infrastructure. Its young (but poorly educated) manpower and democracy will not be able to sustain economic growth without power, transportation, or telecommunication.
Despite the Indian govt's plan for building infrastructure, this simply will not happen for the forseeable future. Be serious, just look at the 2010 Commonwealth Game!
For example, China has built more roads and high speed railway in the past year than India did for the past 50 years. All the roads, railway, airports, power stations and optic fibre network may not necessarily bring economic growth. Japan is a prime example of wasteful infrastructure building. But surely there cannot be any sustained growth when the infrastructure is overloaded at 100+% capacity.
yet another article over hyping India.
Amazing how the author ties Arcelor Mittal to the success of India system. Mittal steel's success had absolutely nothing with India. Mr Mittal left India and started buying up steel mills around the world and turning them around. In fact as far as India is concerned, he still having a lot problems setting up his 12 billion dollar steel plant because of protests by "tribal people". If anything Arcelor Mittal is sign of what India system failed to achieve.
The difference between China and India happened before China's reform, not after the reform as mentioned in the article. In 1978, China had 900 million population and India has 1.2 billion today. Between 1950 and 1978, China's grain production increased from 130 million tons to more than 300 million tons, an increase of 130%. India could only produce 220 million tons of grins in 2009 on more arable land. China produced 550 million tons in 2009, it is 2.4 times of what India did in the same year and increased by 77% over China did in 1978. You can see the difference between China and India and China's performace before the reform.
More than 85% of China's irrigation system was built before the reform. China's irrigation rate reached about 70% before the reform. India now is about 40% as I remember. This is the main reason why China can produce much more food than India on less arable land.
China's industry size was as tiny as 19.1 billion RMB in 1950, but it was changed to 423.7 billion in 1978, and 15695.8 billion in 2009 (Current currency value). According to these data given by China's Central Statistical Office, China's industry grew 22 times in the the 28 years before 1978, and 37 times in the 31 years after 1978. China did not have inflation before the reform for a socialism economy and had experienced huge inflation in 1980s-1990s. China's industry growth before the reform was much faster than after the reform. China could built a Dam on the mighty Yangtz river (Gezhouba Dam) and could make a workable nuclear submarine. I doubt Indi's industry can do this today.
Comparing with India? China 's steel and iron production was between 30-40 million tons in 1978. India reached the point in the 21st century. China built more than 1000 km of nre railways each year between 1950-1978 with total of more than 30000 km of new lines during that peroid. India built total of about 15000 km in the 63 years after its independence in 1947. This difference is huge.
After the comparison of economy, lets do the same on the social development.
China's literacy rate reached 80% before the reform, way higher than India's 61% today. Chinese's average life expectancy increased from 40 years old in 1955 to more than 65 in 1980. Indian's average life expectancy was less than 64 even in 2005. See the difference?
There is mess and chaos every where, including China. The key difference is freedom. India is an open society, the world's largest democracy. China is not. And that might determine longer term success.
India appears confusing to some, as it is diverse and noisy. How else would you expect a large democratic country to be?
As far as its poverty or internal strifes/quarrels are concerned, they probably exist in many countries. It's just that India does not suppress such news. China, on the other hand, wilfully tries to prevent any damaging truth from leaking. Not very successfully though.
As John Bolton aptly noted in a column last year, "China's internal situation is far from rosy. The "one child per family" policy has left tens of millions of Chinese men with no realistic prospect of marriage, ever. China's creatively derived economic statistics conceal huge unseen armies of unemployed, both in coastal cities and deep in the interior, with only remote job prospects. These and other factors portend potentially enormous social and political instability."
In the long run, freedom fosters inovation which in turn leads to economic progress. It, therefore, makes perfect sense to surmise that at some point in time, unless China ends its repressive ways, India indeed will take over in terms of growth rate and well-being.
indica is telling jokes.
Huawei is investing in India only because Indian government force international telecom equipment makers to do so. The samething is happening in other infrastructure area, such as electricity generators.
International business can make more money in India that China? Anyone with brain will not claim that if he only know the huge difference of market size. China's auto market is almost 8 times of India's. China's PC market is almost 8 times of India's. Chinese even eat 2.4 times of food as Indians do. This is only the consumer market. If you go to market for heavy industry, that's even bigger. China aline uses about of the half of the world iron and steel, uses 55% of the cement the whole world uses. China's market is very open. Honda's profit in China could be about 80% of its worldwide gains. More than 40% of VW profit comes from China. S. Korea's Hundai makes 600000 cars in China for Chinese market only, and will be expanded into 1 million soon.
But it could be difficult for international companies to find local competitor in India. Unlike China that has a strong industry in almost all areas, India's industry is tiny and small. For example, international telecom makers have to be more competitive than China's Huawei, ZTE, HomeFiber in China market. But there is simply no decent telecom hardware makers in India. China's eletricity generation industry is also very strong. International companies like GE have fight for market share against local companies. India only has BHEL that can make generator of 660 MW with most of part imported from Simens.
Let me give you some numbers about sales of luxury cars in China and India in 2009, then you can understand the difference of the two market, and know how tiny Indian market is:
BMW sold 3,619 (growth rate 24%)cars in India and 90,500 in China (growth rate 38%) in 2009;
Volvo Sold pitiful 140 cars in India and 22,405 cars in China in 2009;
Mercedes Benz sold 3,247 cars in India and 68,500 cars in China in 2009;
Audi only sold about 2000 cars in India and 158,941 cars in China in 2009.
US's GM sold more than 2 million cars in China in 2009, that's much bigger than the total of India auto market (1.4 million in 2009).
India moves slow but with certainty - there is a broad consensus on free markets being the best antidote to poverty, there is also a broad consensus on smarter, more targeted state support for those left behind by free markets as India moves ahead.
The GST (goods and services tax) and proposal paper on entry of foreign retail by the finance ministry are examples from this year of the former and the UID (universal identification) card planned implementation of the latter.
Corruption is a plague, but the experience of South Korea (which went from one of the most corrupt countries on the planet to one of the most 'honest') is encouraging - rising incomes are the best antidote to corruption, as they are to poverty.
The literacy rate is indeed rising fast. It may take another generation for overall literacy rates to cross 90%, but the key is the literacy rate among those in their mid-twenties and younger, which is already approaching that figure. A 40-65 year old's new literacy isn't going to add to the country's growth story.
Rising literacy already is and will continue to make Indian democracy better - in the last three elections governance has been increasingly rewarded (and lack of it penalized) generally speaking and this rising trend will continue as more and more people enter the masses of the educated and empowered.
I, like most Indians, am cautiously socially liberal and guardedly optimistic about my country's economic future. Execution, be it better governance or literacy or stomping out corruption, is a long fight, but I am positive this fight will be won.
There is a background to these reports on India. Several features to it:
1) In the 1960s, Japan and S.Korea were booming, then S.E. Asian 'tigers'. India was the 'laggard'. Many enjoyed it, still do, to dismiss India as 'rubbish'. India is obliging them now, to take notice. You dismiss India at your own cost.
Hua Wei the premier Chinese Telecom firm is investing US$500 Million in chennai to manufacture tele equipment.
2) Business people from all over Asia and the West know that they can make more money in India than China, and fear government less in India than in China.
There is no 'central mind' in India, that is evident in China, to ensure that foreigners do not make profits in India. The CEO of General Electric, was reported to have said of China,
"They do not want any of us to succeed here."
The difficulties of doing business in India are a result of omissions in governance, which are not directed at foreigners solely. It is different in China.
3) South Koreans are the best of Asians who have done well in India; who know how to deal with India. They are closely followed by Suzuki of Japan.
This list of foreign firms who are making healthy profits of India is growing. Soon that list would include some well-known Chinese companies, both private and state ones.
Singapore Chinese, who are familiar with Indians and India, are able to make headway in India.
4) Chaos now but changes are coming. Present chaos is not paralysing. Much is going on. This is also the message of these Economist articles. There is no denying of chaos, as facts.
5) Indian culture is more open than China's. Xenophobia in business is much smaller than in China. Indians are more negotiable, if you like, more open-minded than the Chinese. Some features of Indian temperament, with all its foibles, foreigners understand better than the inscrutability of the Chinese.
Pot-holes or not, India does travel on.
The poverty rate in India is expected to decline from 51% of the population in 1990 to 24% by 2015 (reference below).
This is the best evidence that this Economist article has a good point. It is extraordinarily heart warming.
China and India are finding two somewhat different approaches to getting rid of poverty, yet they have similarities. Both approaches are fundamentally free-market and capitalist. They differ on degree of central authority and central control.
Despite these differences, both are delivering huge achievements for mankind.
The 21st century will be the first time in human history when most human beings have enough to eat. Think about that for a minute...
This is real revolution.

A disappointing article. The author mentions the overwhelming obstacles to India's development-corruption, malnutrition, illiteracy, glaring inequalities, political and social unrest-only to conclude with a rosy picture of a thriving democracy unaffected by any of these ills when, in reality, even one of those factors can destabilize the growth witnessed in recent years.
India's democracy is a failing one, never mind freedom of speech and fewer regulations on businesses than before. These are perhaps necessary for peaceful and sustained development, but are by no means sufficient. Governments of all poltical stripes have failed to provide millions of people with basic education, basic health care and basic nutrition, and unless they do so within the next few decades (which, given the pace of development so far and the spreading epidemic of corruption, seems unlikely) democracy in India will be rendered little more than meaningless.
What truly hurts and angers Indian citizens about the 2010 Commonwealth Games is not the shoddiness of the event itself but what it represents-the blatant misuse of an enormous amount of taxpayer's money to serve the interests of those in power. Corruption has been institutionalised in India for a long time now, but this kind of venality is truly breathtaking, even for jaded citizens who have reconciled themselves to the fact that most of Delhi's roads vanish for a few months after the monsoon year after year, because the municipal authorities are easily bribed by the road contractors who deliberately use low-grade materials to build them.
India muddles on despite everything because its citizens have no option but to accept the status quo and get on with their lives (the matter of choice in this democracy is mostly an illusion- political parties may change but the lack of political will to improve the lives of the poor and hungry remains largely the same), but it is anybody's guess how long this state of affairs will last before the cracks begin to widen irreversibly.
India's investment on education is small and not sufficient. Average investment on a college student is only about US$400 each year, much lower than other countries. For that money, it maybe enough for education in business schools or IT majors. That's one of the reasons why India's performance in other majors is very low today. If you go to check worldwide competition such as ACM, topcoder, math, physics, chemistry, biology, Indian students' performance is very very low, while Chinese students can always be found on the top of the lists.
India's IT industry actually is also killing other industries in that country. Since the cost for IT education is low and IT is almost the only industry students can make easy money, most talent kids are lured to the area. But the jobs in India's IT industry do not require the top talents. This situation is causing huge wasting of talents and talent shortage in other industries.
China's software and service industry is way bigger than India even there are much more talks about India's IT. The disadvantage for China's software and service is the language. Another view has to be changed: Back-Office Services are actually not high-tech. Other than software and service, China is very imprtant in telecommunication. Huawei, ZTE, HomeFiber are important players in the world. China has TD-SCDMA (one of the 3 international standards for 3G wireless telecommunication), TD-LTE standard for 4G wireless that is directly competes against Intel's WiMAX, WAPI for fixing security issues in 802.11 wireless standards. Can Indian companies have such achievement?
India's advantage in pharmatheutical industry is not its innovation or research. It is because of its patent system for the industry that actually does not respect any patent in the industry at all.
One of the few articles balancing positive and negatives of the India story. Unsure why instant China comparisons crop up, no doubt China has pulled the carpet from under every bidder in Manufacturing but as the article points out IT Services, Automotive, Private Mobile Companies are India's forte.
In every other sector requiring minimal government intervention (permits, land acquisition etc) private companies are surging at their own pace. And sitting in remote parts of the developed world the only India story at the moment is the 'over-hyped' Commonwealth Games which may yet go through peacefully.
I cannot understand Arcelor Mittal's inclusion here there are several other examples of successful Private oranizations originating from India but the 'Indian System' did contribute partly to Arcelor Mittal's success story (Indian origin employees highly trained from the Govt. owned Steel and Heavy Industries sectors; not to mention IIT/IIM/BITS/SCRA/REC's).
Maybe some people don't like to hear but indeed why Western and Indian media are so keen to compare India and China is baffling me.It's the truth that neither Chinese government&media nor the people take India as a real&serious competitor, go look up the paper or internet forums in China, not so much people talk about India at all. What the fuss about so called "Commonwealth humiliation", is it not what INDIA always and really is??
Chinese living in HK
So WHAT's new? Or is this the story that analytics says will sell? I think i'd rather cancel my subscription of this tabloid.
I happened to be travelling across the country recently and meeting local cloth traders, large farmers and people in upcountry India. Sometimes these conversations happened on trains at other times at functions. It's impossible to put up everything but key take-outs:
1. Illiteracy may not be as much of a problem as job skills. More than educated people, there is a need for skilled people. The cloth factories are running out of skilled workers, farmers out of skilled labor, hospitals out of nurses. So rather than focus on education only, the government can focus on vocational courses
2. Due to the agri boom, the traditional rural migration is drying up. Putting pressure on labor intensive jobs in cities. This is leading to salaries increasing rapidly in cities.
3. The drying up of labor is an indication of strong rural growth. This means that 60% of the Indian market is yet untapped
4. Despite the naxal menace brisk sales happens in affected areas, one needs to have a channel to reach there
5. A wealthier population is spending more creating more demand, opportunities for business and jobs.
In any given situation market forces will prevail and the Indian people have since the dawn of time been the the most intelligent and efficient traders on the planet. You will see massive reform in all areas of life in India over the coming decade. It is inevitable. I lived in India from 1970 to 1992. Ok it was a comfortable living but nothing much happened. There was a commercial class who had a good time and we took everything for granted. It is very different today just 18 years later. Development will accelerate over the next dacade.
The main difference between China & India is that Chinese ladies are treated in most walks of life as equal to men and equal employment opportunities are a fact of life. ladies are not relegated to clerical positons. So you have a richer and more prosperous and balanced family.Also a more productive population.
And then the Chinese farmer. Irrigation is the key here. The chinese farmer is educated, literate, healthy and hardworking and benefits even in remote parts of the country from a demand for a bewildering variety of fruit and vegetables herbs and medicinal plants.
Yes there is also massive pollution and corruption but in China corrupt people are executed not so in India!! This approach has had an effect. Pollution is now front and centre in Chinas development and a real effort is being made to clean up the environment.
For these reasons China has an edge over India but not by much.
I will say shortage of Skilled workforce is biggest problem for India.
There is no one ready to be Civil Engineer but pays are lesser than that of Software Engineer. And there are thousands of KM highways to be build.
"Despite all the mess and chaos of India, the country's business is booming. This will change the world"
Interesting that "the House" seems to think so! And I sps u mean by "change the world", apart from changes already made. Like eg jus consider Karuturi Global (an Indian MNC) that grows acres upon acres of flowers in Kenya and Ethiopia to sell to most of the rest of the world!
As long as pvt enterprises keep growing no matter what nationality count me in!
Btw what's with all the "gushing" and "charm offensive" on India? Ya ya I know it's an article on Indian bizness and not on approval of GoI or India's pol/econ systems. But still ... Has there been a drastic change in the upper mgmt :-) Or is it the "CWG touch" ;-) Cant help but wonder!
Western n Indian papers compare china n india since they are the 2 fastest growing countries in the world. It says something about press freedom that the Chinese media does not! Comparisons between the top 2 are inevitable in the nature of things.
Oneman's factoids r good n I respect his estimate that india is nowhere in the league of china. Yet the economist chart shows that some factoids support the comparison. I would argue that the 2 opinions arise from the fundamental difference in means n methods of economic growth. China scored on govt intervention n growth followed infra that was centrally planned. India's growth has been inspite of n not because of central planning. Static analysis recommends more of the same, comparative analysis urges learning from others. Am glad Indians are taking this comparison seriously- that may give us a hint of the future
It is rather "no-way" out for the larger world community that it promotes India after China starts to show its fangs.....these are all state managed, and I am not a bit cynical in saying that. The other demographic factors will certainly complete the story for the global community to invest in this nation but certainly the story did not initiated from this point.
With this India and particularly South Asia is sure to see some geo-political hot slings because geo-political follows prosperity. Moreover a dollar invested in India will bear more return for the foreign investor even if we follow the basic marginal utility principle of fundamental economics.

'ET' set to test the next level
Charles talked about the usual things that a player goes through after their college career is over; missing his teammates and coaches. But the main focus was on the future. Now that it's over, Frederick has been busy preparing himself for taking his game to the next level. Since the season ended he has been kept busy by rehabbing his leg from the hamstring injury that sidelined him for most of 2004. "I've been working out, trying to get my legs stronger again, rehabbing and trying to make sure it's ready to run on," said Charles.
Though he's made progress since he was injured Frederick admitted that the injury still bothers him. He still says that he's not up to full speed. "It's still the hamstring" he admitted.
Just recently Frederick participated in the NFL combine in Indianapolis. Those that have ever watched Charles play were shocked when they saw the forty-yard dash time he ran at the workout (4.75 and 4.78). His body fat (10.3 percent) was second-highest only to Florida State's Chauncey Stovall. It would also shock most to discover how many times Charles had ever run a forty. "I'd never ran one before," said Frederick. The draft combine was the very first time he had ever timed one. He admitted to being somewhat nervous. "I was a little nervous trying to push up my leg," he added.
Though his time was discouraging Frederick was confident about his performance in the rest of the workout. "Catching the ball, running routes I felt comfortable, I think I did great," he said. It was in these drills that Charles showed off his superb quickness that made him a tough cover for cornerbacks.
The Indianapolis combine wasn't his last time to shine for the pro scouts. "By pro timing day I'll be ready to run my forty," Frederick said. "The annual workout at Husky Stadium is scheduled for March 11 this year and is traditionally a helpful tool for Washington players to impress scouts. Charles has been focusing on getting his forty time down now and he's specifically working on his start. "I've been working on coming out of my stance," he said.
As the draft approaches Frederick will have to wait and see when he's taken and where he's going. He sneaked a peek at one opinion though. "Mel Kiper has got me going in the 2nd or 3rd round," he said. So would a selection in that area please Charles?
"I would be great with that," said the man they call 'ET'.

Redstone Rodeo is a downhill battle
By Austin Considine
ESPN The Magazine
Mountain races are quick and chaotic, often lasting less than one minute.
You don't have to be drunk to race a horse down a mountain. But Darren Sulin swears it helped him. "I do seem to go a bit slower since I quit drinking," says the 42-year-old Canadian, whose grin has been missing its front teeth since they were knocked out during a bull ride 15 years ago. "I guess when I was drinking, maybe I didn't hold back."
On this August day at the Redstone Rodeo in British Columbia, Sulin is the first of five racers to ease his horse to the starting line at the top of an unnamed mountain. Only from this vantage point can he truly comprehend the path ahead of him, which involves scrambling 1,500 feet down a steep, rocky trail in less than a minute. In the valley below, the noisy crowd that packs the bleachers looks like a trembling patchwork of little specks. The horses shudder and snort as the PA announcer's voice echoes off the hills.
Every summer across Canada's westernmost province, locals show off their riding and roping skills on the rodeo circuits. At three stops in the Cariboo-Chilcotin region—
a remote swath of grasslands, pine forests and mountains that is home to the six tribes of the Chilcotin Nation—they hold a separate competition native to the region: mountain racing. The sport strikes some outsiders as animal cruelty. The cowboys see it as tradition, rooted in the long-standing and ongoing practice of wild horse wrangling. Explains Roger William, the winningest racer since events were first organized in 1980: "Water, rocks, dams, trees, trails. That's what these wild horses put you through trying to chase 'em."
The region is one of the last places on earth where wild horses roam free. This is also moose and grizzly country. The Chilcotin people have lived there since their ancestors wandered down from the Bering Strait thousands of years ago. The water of its glacier-fed streams and lakes is clean enough to drink. Its mountains stand tall and icy. According to tradition, they take the forms of ancient chiefs who were turned into mountains by the gods, peaks that remind the Chilcotins of their mortality. The mountain races serve the same purpose; three horses died in recent events, and one rider was seriously injured.
The initial drop at Redstone is the steepest of any of the races, a 31-degree descent atop loose rocks and sand. Still, waiting at the starting line now, Sulin is undaunted by the view. He has won there before. Doug Hennigar arrives next, a cigarette dangling from his lips. The remaining three—points leader William, defending series champ Jimmy Lulua and up-and-comer Darren Setah—wait behind a thin veil of trees. At a cue from the judge, the riders gently nose their horses to the starting line, waiting until the last second to point their muzzles downhill, lest they get spooked. One rider takes a final gulp of liquid courage, tossing aside a can of Cariboo Genuine Draft.
Everything about this scene evokes a sense of foreboding. But for men like William, a former chief of the Xeni Gwet'in tribe, mountain racing is more important than ever, a stand against the growing threat to Chilcotin culture. Vast stretches of nearby forest are black and bare from voracious pine beetles or from arsonists embroiled in logging disputes. Tribal leaders worry that a proposed gold and copper mine will ruin a huge piece of historically Chilcotin land and at least one fish-bearing lake. "It's just a rainfall of bad to our people," says William.
A judge sounds an air horn to start the race. The horses leap forward, leaving a plume of dust and cowboy hats behind. Lulua and Setah get the early jump and within seconds lead the pack around the first bend. But as the five riders sprint downhill toward a creek at the foot of the mountain, they bunch at a crossing barely two horses wide. The racers disappear among the trees and brush that clutch the banks of the water. They do not all emerge; Sulin and Lulua have collided at the crossing. Though neither of the cowboys or their horses is seriously hurt, the incident leaves only three men to spur their mounts in a mad dash across a freshly mowed hay field. The finish line, visible ahead, is always the gate of the rodeo corral. As the crowd of 150 hollers its support, Setah—the youngest of the riders at 23—surges past William to win by three lengths.
At the next day's race, the final of the season, the crowd is a little thinner—partly because of a rodeo dance that lasted until the wee hours. No accidents this time; Setah wins again and clinches the season championship. Sulin comes in last, but he doesn't seem troubled.
A few days later, he offers me a horseback tour of his ranch, a broad landscape of fields and forest marked only by bales of hay and a few modest buildings, including the one-room cabin where he lives. It has a generator for electricity and no running water. Inside, his girlfriend, the mother to their two sons, cooks freshly caught salmon.
As we finish our ride, Sulin's 5-year-old gets frightened when his horse suddenly bucks. "A cowboy doesn't cry when he falls off his horse," Sulin admonishes. "He gets right back on, to ride again."
The three of us climb into Sulin's truck for a jostling ride along a dirt trail, back to the main road where I've left my car. The boy is done crying now. He proudly shows me some small plastic figurines. Among them: a bull, a bucking bronco and a cowboy that looks an awful lot like his old man.
