Best Hindi Films 2012: Top 5
Most of these films didn't even cross the 50 crore mark at the box office, leave aside entering the 100 crore club. However, most who saw it in theatres first acknowledged that these were taking Bollywood in the right direction. Here is presenting the Best Five Hindi Films of 2012.
Time and again one hears directors come up with descriptions like 'My film has layer after layer being explored' or 'You would be on the edge of the seat right through the narrative'. Well Sujoy Ghosh, the film's director, doesn't say any of this, he just does it. While the story holds maximum prominence here and Sujoy keeps it all together without aspiring to be at the centre-stage, the person who makes it possible for his vision to be executed is undoubtedly Vidya Balan.
'OMG – Oh My God' turned out to be a fantastic film. Even though it boasts of a complicated subject where everything from God, religion, faith and worship is challenged, this Umesh Shukla film never loses its way through it's duration. A film like this was always akin to walking a tight rope, what with more chances of a viewer going against it than for it. However one has to credit the way it is spun together as well as convincingly enacted that instead of feeling offended, one ends up getting into an introspective mode.
'English Vinglish' turned out to be a very entertaining piece of cinema that was not just heart felt and emotional but also a highly class affair where one can't help but say 'wow' at various junctures. The very fact that Gauri Shinde followed a balanced approach towards the film and Sridevi was just an ideal actor to enact this part made 'English Vinglish' a film that just cannot be missed. In fact it almost went into the Rajkumar Hirani space and ensured that there were all around moist eyes right through it's play.
When released, this small unassuming film arrived amidst decent buzz though one could never foresee the biggie that it eventually turned out to be. A sweet and simple tale which was realistic yet so much fun, 'Vicky Donor' fits into the mould of a humorous tale which is not just the first of its kinds but also promises to bag a cult status for itself in years to come. Yes, it does end on a tad filmy and predictable note and though one would have thought that a different culmination would have perhaps made this an even better enterprise, the film still has in it to hold its high as one of the best cinematic outing of 2012.
One of the most impressive things about 'Paan Singh Tomar' was an abundance of wit and sarcasm in number of sequences. While one felt that this would be an out and out hard hitting drama and rely primarily on performances and acidic dialogues, director Tigmanshu Dhulia incorporated number of ingredients that allowed the film to take a largely entertaining route for most of its duration. Now if only the film's second half could have been further trimmed with avoidance of repetitiveness that seeped in, 'Paan Singh Tomar' would have been even better.
Which according to you was the Best Hindi film of 2012? Apart from the films above, we have added a few other critically acclaimed films to the list.

BARFI is the best movie of 2012. infact its the best movie in the last 3 years since 3 Idiots.
the top 5 movies are :
1. Barfi
2. Kahaani
3. Vicky Donor
5. English Vinglish
P.S. PST was another great film, which just misses the top 5. and about OMG, i would like to say it's a bit over-hyped. though the concept was very good, but had many flaws like mithun's acting, items songs incorporated without need & many other things.

Actually the above 5 films were liked by classes & the 5 films liked by the masses are Ek tha tiger,rowdy rathore,dabangg 2,agneepath & bol bacchan.
This is the reason of some stupids commenting & crying for their hero's crap films which were not liked by none except their fans.So stop your frustration.

Time for Alpha 11!
- Details
- Written by kharnov
Download it! Read on for what's new.
New Plat23 beta!
The map has been completely redone from scratch, and while it maintains a similar layout, the appearance is much more refined. For instance, the lighting is better, and the outside area is brand new, featuring a high-resolution space skybox. The textures are all properly aligned as well, providing a smoother appearance. Over successive releases, the cliffs and the structure outside will receive further detail, but for the time being, the map is fully playable and pleasantly overhauled.
Map updates!
Based on feedback, Yocto and Parpax have received updates to their layouts. For instance, Yocto now has ladders in the formerly inescapable gill room, and Parpax has received some alterations to its rooms and corridors. This will be the tentative final beta for Yocto, assuming that no further changes need to be made, as work will begin soon on another map. As for Parpax, its textures will begin to be normal mapped shortly.
We've had bloom in the engine for a while, but it didn't look the way we wanted it to. For this release, we've fixed it, and we've also provided a menu option and the appropriate shaders in the asset pack. If you're running the GL3 renderer, try it out! It works with any light source, and will take on its color when appropriate. It looks particularly nice with the marauder zap and the flamethrower, as well as other flashy human weapons.
Bot refinements!
Our bot behavior has been refined, and your favorite computer-based friends should now be much less awkward when dealing with map geometry. For instance, small gaps will no longer prevent them from movement. Navmeshes for the bots are generated much faster than before, too!
GLSL updates!
Shaders will be generated faster than before, as there are fewer of them to be generated in the first place – they have been optimized by removing two unused macros. This should shorten the wait for those on older hardware, and should make it relatively painless to recompile shaders on a whim when testing things or switching between graphics options.
Library changes!
You will no longer need Speex to build the server when compiling from source, and WebP is now internal, which should make things easier for those that do not have the proper version in their repositories. We're now on GLEW 1.9, and unnecessary GLEW files have been removed.
New translations!
Entirely by accident, German was not included in the prior release, but it is there now and should be functional. In addition, we now have French! This means that you can now play Unvanquished in English, French, German, Polish, and Ukrainian.
Ubuntu packages!
PlayDeb has been down for a while now, but there's no need to worry! We now have packages built for Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10, and we will continue providing these packages in the future. They should work just fine in derivatives such as Linux Mint, too. Instructions for adding the repository may be found here.
Looks awesome, also like the idea of better Bots...
Quick question... How the f**k does the translation system work?
Because i have submitted some translations a fiew months ago and now i went back in today and all text-boxes are gray?¿? so i had to download the file and do it from there...so how do i re upload the file? And why do i come up as anonymous user?
[on-topic] And are you gonna release a SDK?
EDIT: New installer up
I recommend downloading the updated installer but it can be fixed manually.
Open up /Applications/Unvanquished.dmg (the dmg not the app!). Now right click on Unvanquished and select "show package contents". Copy the folder called contents. Now we need to right click on /Applications/Unvanquished (the app this time) and select "show package contents". Paste the folder in here making sure to overwrite all files.
Downloading the Ubuntu package right now, can't wait to try it since I got a new graphics card (Nvidia 680).
When new releases are out, will my game automatically update to them? Or will I have to manually uninstall the old alpha, and reinstall the new release?
It is a good new to see French in this new release, since the translation work, I think I will translate the Unvanquished client and finish the Unvanquished game logic.
Thank for this new version :D

JUST POSTED: NCL to base ship in Tampa for first time. Click HERE for details
DUBAI -- Say what you will about Costa Cruises, but they do know how to throw a party.
The fast-growing Italian line officially inaugurated its latest vessel today in an elaborate pier-side ceremony in Dubai that offered everything from Italian tenors singing famed Italian songs such as "O sole mio" to a small army of traditional Arabian dancers to display after display of exquisite horsemanship.
The two-hour extravaganza to name the 2,260-passenger Costa Deliziosa also included a troop of 40 elaborately-costumed children from the United Arab Emirates dancing to traditional songs and a precision arrival from the air of parachutists from the UAE Police force.
RELATED: Costa to debut Red Seas cruises in 2011
RELATED: Royal Caribbean begins cruises out of Dubai
RELATED: Costa executive CEO Maurice Zarmati on the line's allure
The ceremony marked the first time a cruise ship had been named in an Arab city and comes as the Persian Gulf begins to take off as a cruise destination.
Among more than 3,000 invited guests at the event was the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who was accompanied by an entourage of dozens of courtiers in traditional white robes.
Tala Dionisi, the wife of the Italian ambassador to Dubai, served as godmother of the Deliziosa, cutting a ribbon that triggered a champagne bottle to break against the ship's hull. In a nod to the local custom, however, there was no alcohol in the bottle. Instead, it was filled with date juice.
Carnival-owned Costa is now in its fourth year of offering regular Gulf cruises out of Dubai, something it pioneered in 2006 along with German-focused sister line Aida. In addition to the Deliziosa, Costa is basing a sister ship, the 2,260-passenger Costa Luminosa, in the city this winter. A third Costa vessel, the 1,494-passenger Costa Europa, also is visiting the region on a series of eight one-way cruises between Italy and Dubai.
The sunny and warm Gulf region is proving a popular winter getaway for cruise fans from Europe, in particular, as well as Middle Easterners and smaller numbers of Americans, despite its location near several troubled countries including Iraq and Yemen. Unlike the nearby waters of the Gulf of Aden, the Persian Gulf is not known for pirate attacks on ships.
The trend of cruises around the Middle East got a big boost last month as industry giant Royal Caribbean began its first season of voyages in the region. Royal Caribbean's 2,112-passenger Brilliance of the Seas, now sailing weekly out of Dubai on seven-night trip to Oman, Bahrain and other parts of the United Arab Emirates, was docked next to the Costa Deliziosa today during the ceremony.
Today's naming of the Costa Deliziosa coincided with the official unveiling of a new cruise terminal at Dubai's Port Rashid that can accommodate up to four cruise ships at a time.

Ocean Awareness:
Kauai's ocean is both beautiful and powerful. Please exercise caution and common sense at all times in the water (and even walking along the beach during high surf).
Our advice for those unfamiliar with the ocean is to always stand and watch the water for a while. If you are going into the sea in an unfamiliar spot, look for other swimmers to verify that it is a good swimming beach.
Never turn your back on the surf!
If you have any questions about safety, ask someone in the area. During high surf be extremely cautious where you go into the water. When in doubt, don't go out.
Ask lifeguards for swimming & safety tips. When you see warning signs posted, please read & abide by them.
You'll find lifeguard stations at Ke`e Beach, Haena Beach Park, and Hanalei Bay. For daily lifeguard reports, visit http://kauaiexplorer.com.
Rescue tubes:
In certain areas, where no lifeguard is present, you'll find rescue tubes such as between Kepuhi Beach (outside Hanalei Colony Resort) and the Y camp (sometimes called Naue Beach or Banana Beach).
Respect the reef:
Kauai's coral reefs are living eco-systems. They are home to many species of marine life and can be destroyed quickly. Please do not stand or walk on them.
What does it mean?
Here are some definitions to help you understand common ocean safety terms:
High surf advisory - A High Surf Advisory is issued when breaking wave action poses a threat to life and property within the surf zone. Advisories are issued for conditions that may cause major inconvenience and could lead to situations that threaten life or property. High surf criteria vary by region.
High surf warning - A High Surf Warning is issued when breaking wave action results in an especially heightened threat to life and property within the surf zone. Issued when a threat is imminent or expected to occur within 24 hours or less. Actions for protection of life and property should begin immediately. High surf criteria vary by region.
Source: http://www.pdc.org/iweb/high_surf_terms.jsp
When you're staying at the Hanalei Colony Resort, or anywhere on the island, keep ocean safety in mind. Want to check the National Weather Service Weather Hotline? Just call (808) 245-6001

Are we witnessing the birth of a new Social Network?
Are we witnessing the birth of a new Social Network?
Imagine being able to connect with friends, create status updates that can be as detailed as blog posts, check into and recommend local restaurants, find great news stories and share them with connections, upload images and even create short video snippets.
Sound familiar?
If it sounds like Google+, with maybe some Vine and Foursquare thrown into the mix, there's good reason for that. When Google decided to create their new social network, it was a combination of a new platform and strong tie-ins to other platforms, like YouTube, which had been acquired.
So when Marissa Mayer joined Yahoo! as CEO in June, 2012, it's clear that she created a strategy for the Internet Giant to once again become relevant. But what, exactly, that strategy was hasn't been clear.
Until now.
During the last eight months, Mayer has initiated one acquisition after another. While not every one may be related to the construction of a social network, there are several key components that are coming together.
Let's review the timeline of Yahoo acquisitions since Mayer came on board:
- October, 2012 - Stamped - Social Recommendation
- December, 2012 - OnTheAir - Video
- January, 2013 - Snip.it - Social News
- February, 2013 - Alike - Social Recommendation
- March, 2013 - Jybe - Social recommendation
- March, 2013 - Summly - News aggregation, summarization
- May, 2013 - Astrid - Productivity
- May, 2013 - GoPollGo - Real-time surveys
- May, 2013 - MileWise - Travel Rewards
- May, 2013 - Loki Studios - Mobile gaming
- May, 2013 - Tumblr - Blogging
- May, 2013 - Playerscale - Online gaming
- June, 2013 - GhostBird Software - Mobile Photography Apps
- June, 2013 - Rondee - Video Conferencing
- July, 2013 - Bignoggins Productions - Fantasy Sports
- July, 2013 - Qwiki - Automated Video Production
Do any of those stand out to you?
The core of any social network is that it's a network. That means you need to be able to make connections and network with people. Some may even recall that Yahoo! tried that once, starting in 2005 (Yahoo! 360), and then shut the service down almost four years ago exactly. But does this capability exist elsewhere within the Yahoo! universe?
Within Flickr, you can indeed make connections with other people. Similar to Facebook, connections are two-way and must be approved by the other party. Flickr also has a growing Community system where people of like interests share and comment on each other's photos. While it doesn't have a status update, users are able to share (content, via images), like each other's posts (favorite), and leave comments.
So for those of us that prefer to communicate and forge connections via text, there's Tumblr. Acquired during May's shopping spree, Tumblr offers its users a platform to share updates. Similar to Google+, posts can be short or long, and include basic formatting. Images can be posted, as well as video and even audio, making it a very dynamic platform for sharing content.
Millions still rely on Yahoo as an information portal, providing them with news and information from trusted sources. LinkedIn has been working on developing their version of this for some time now (LinkedIn Today), and Facebook is rumored to be creating a similar system of their own. This is because more and more people are not only turning to the Internet, but to Social Media, as a source for their news and information.
And this is an area that Yahoo continues to improve, most recently with their purchase of the news curation service, Summly.
One of the contributing factors for the rapid growth of Google+ was that it was tightly integrated with Google's email system, Gmail. Gmail users were automatically afforded a Google+ account.
Yahoo! currently has nearly 300 million email users. If they were all to suddenly have accounts in a new Yahoo! social network, Yahoo! would leapfrog LinkedIn to the #3 spot.
And the acquisition of Astrid, a Reminder and Task list app, would make a nice addition to the Yahoo! email and ecosystem. Astrid already had strong email integration, and it could be that Yahoo! is hoping to replicate some of Gmail's ability to understand emails you receive and act on them using Google Now.
Foursquare, Yelp and even Facebook have long battled over the field of local recommendations. And Google has Google+ Local which seems destined to be further integrated into the search engine and social network. With each ecosystem, local businesses can be discovered, liked and recommended by friends, and Yahoo! wants a piece of that pie.
Stamped, Alike and Jybe were all focused on local discovery, and all have been shut down in favor of a new Yahoo! product. Will it be integrated into the new social network?
Yahoo! already owns one of the most popular image sharing networks, Flickr, which we mentioned earlier. But the Flickr app is lacking the kinds of picture taking, editing and sharing features that users are demanding - and getting from other services like Instagram.
Enter GhostBird. As a development company, GhostBird has created two apps for iOS: KitKam and PhotoForge2 that were very popular. They've since discontinued those apps and made it clear that their focus is in bringing that level of photography to the Flickr app.
OnTheAir is a video platform that claims to make "Hangouts look static" and that, coupled with Rondee, could create a very viable video communication platform.
And now Yahoo! is poised to acquire Qwiki, which can take images and audio and create short video snippets, giving Yahoo!'s platform the flexibility to do both short and long video.
Most of these acquired services have been temporarily disabled, with their websites simply stating announcements that they've been purchased by Yahoo!. Those services that Yahoo! does not intend to fold into something else would clearly be allowed to continue to function as-is.
The idea of Yahoo! getting into the Social Media industry isn't new. Many assumed that Yahoo! purchased Tumblr as a way of buying their way in, and they are right, to a degree. I suspect though that there's more to it than that. Yahoo! is working on something Big. Something Epic. Yahoo! has spent over $1.5 Billion in these acquisitions. And Mayer knows they can't just create another social network and expect people to do anything with it. Like Google+, it has to be innovative.
Just as MySpace is forging a return based on their strengths in the music industry, Yahoo! needs to play on their strengths in the News and Information arena. Yahoo! still sports one of the largest search engines and directories in the world. When Marissa Mayer announces a Yahoo! event later this year, I'd watch.

Best Male Singers in Bollywood: Top 5
The trend of male playback singing has changed quite significantly over the years. Gone are the days when singers were known as the voices of actors on screen. Kishore Kumar for Rajesh Khanna and Dev Anand, Mukesh for Raj Kapoor, Mohd Rafi for Shammi Kapoor, Dharmendra and so on.
It was history when every second Bollywood popular song was sung by either Kumar Sanu or Udit Narayan. With the evolution of internet, the music industry was adversely impacted as the demand for music cassettes or CDs declined drastically.
As a result, music directors are trying out new voices today with huge success. The long race horse is very difficult to determine but there are quite a few who have managed to grab the attention of avid listeners. Quality masters Sonu Nigam and Shaan have understandably become selective about their work. Also we get to hear voices of multi-talented guys like A.R. Rahman, Himesh Reshammiya, Farhan Akhtar, Vishal Dadlani, Adnan Sami, Lucky Ali, Daler Mehandi, Wajid and Shankar Mahadevan mostly in their own albums (movies) only. Atif Aslam, Benny Dayal, Kunal Ganjawala, Shahid Mallya, Shafqat Amanat Ali and Ash King have also been impressive in their outings and have shown a lot of promise.
Here goes my list of the Top 5 singers who are worthy contenders for the most popular male playback voice today:
1. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan:
Trained by his legendary uncle, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Rahat debuted with a masterpiece 'Laagi tumse mann ki lagan' from the movie Paap. There was no looking back since, as he has sung a number of unbelievably sweet renditions over the last few years. Some of my personal favorites are Main Jahaan Rahoon, Jiya Dhadak Dhadak, Jag Soona Soona Laage, Bol Na Halke Halke, Teri Ore, Tere Mast Mast Do Nain, Surili Akhiyon Wale, Teri Meri Prem Kahani and the list goes on. The songs have been loved, acclaimed and appreciated by one and all. He is, arguably, the most popular and loved voice of the generation. Hope to see a lot more of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in the near future.
2. Mohit Chauhan:
Mohit Chauhan created waves in the Indipop music with 'Dooba Dooba' of Silk Route band way back in 1998. It took him 9 years to wait for his mainstream Bollywood success with Tum Se Hi from Jab We Met. Since then his unique 'dard bhari aawaaz' has been heard in many famous romantic ballads. His chartbuster songs are Massakali, Pee Loon, Tujhe Bhula Diya, Kahin Na laage mann, Ye Dooriyan, Tune Jo Na kaha, Pehli Baar Mohabbat Ki hai, Phir Se Ud Chala, Sadda Haq and the most recent Saiyaara. The magic is expected to continue as he has some very exciting projects in the pipeline.
KK has got arguably the most versatile voice amongst all the singers of this age. Just imagine, the voice of most recent 'Laapata' from Ek Tha Tiger is the same voice which we heard almost 13 years ago in 'Tadap Tadap' from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. He has given his silken touch to many classic and popular numbers like Sach Keh Raha hai Deewana, Tu Aashiqui hai, It's the time to disco, Bas Ek Pal, Kya Mujhe Pyaar Hai, Alvida, Aankhon mein teri ajab si, Khuda Jaane, Dil Ibadat, Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai, Zindagi Do Pal Ki and many more. The freshness of the voice has remained the same during all these years. Commendable!
4. Mika Singh:
With his unique, entertaining and energetic voice, Mika has belted out many chartbusters in Bollywood movies. His listeners are always dancing to his tracks irrespective of their age and nationality. Amongst a wide catalog of smash hits, the prominent ones remain Singh Is King , Mauja Hi Mauja, Ibn-e-Batuta, Dhanno, Dhin Chika, Desi Beat, Subah Hone Na De Pungi , Ganpat, Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, Dil Mein Baji Guitaar, Jugni, Ban Gaya Kutta and the recent hit Chinta ta Chita Chita. His success has made him one of the most sought after singers today.
5. Neeraj Shridhar:
He is the lead vocalist of the rock group Bombay Vikings and became an household name with remix hits like Kya Soorat Hai, Woh Chali and Chod Do Aanchal. The super success of Hare Rama Hare Krishna from the movie Bhool Bhulaiyaa in 2007 made him one of the hottest male playback singers in the industry. Since then he has given many hit dance numbers most of them composed by Pritam Chakraborty. His superhit numbers include Race Saanson ki, Love Mera Hit Hit, Aai Paapi, Soniyo, Chor Bazaari, Aahun Aahun, Twist, Character Dheela, Pappa Jag Jaayega, Pappa to Band Bajaye, Jhak Maar ke, Prem Ki Naiyya and the most recent Tumhi Ho Bandhu from Cocktail.
So tell us, who's the most popular voice of today. Vote Now!

Your getting the idea. However you do not go far enough. Who educated you to read, think, deduce, communicate, etc. etc.. How was the infrastructure established that produced the fertile soils for your business to grow. Who provides the security that protects your business and how long has that been going on. Passing from one generation to another. Thats just the tip of the many necessities required for your businesses to survive. Now what of your children. What are they going to build on, if not what you produced as a foundation for them to continue to make things better or perhaps worse. Should they discard your achievements and decide they want to start all over from ground zero . Hermit Hmmmm. They say you achieved nothing its all about them and no one else. Hmmm Unable to communicate, uneducated etc. etc. What chance do you think they will have in survival and or happiness?
#16899 Feb 19, 2013
I go beyond far enough. My taxes pay for infrastructure, education, and security. There is no free ride. The same as if I build a fence I buy the land, I buy the post, I buy the wire, I dig the post holes, and I set and tamp the post. I BUILT THAT FENCE! That which I didn't do I PAID FOR. It is the same with building a business, that which you do not do you pay for. I agree that we are all in this together but I did not help you build your business, and you did not help build mine. You can twist it any way you want but I owe you nothing that you do not earn and you owe me nothing I do not earn. I meaning me have worked for everything I have. Niether you or the government has GIVEN me anything, period point paragraph.

He has a nice wonderfull family and he is a kind hearted person but he is not fit and cut out for president. If you had eyes and hears you would know of the problems in this county we are having today. It doesn,t matter what color a president is he has to be able to do the job and if he can,t do the job then we need a new president. Yeaaa go vote for obama on another forum.

Individually, the members of the Valley Christian squad were not championship-caliber. Collectively, the Trojans proved they were more than worthy of a championship.
Despite no individual champions, Valley Christian returned to the top of the heap, winning its 8th title in 12 years on Saturday at the Division IV state track championships at Mesa Community College. The Trojans had 60 points, while St. Johns and Arizona Lutheran tied for second with 53.5 points.
"Toward the end of the year, we really started to feel we had a shot, but at the beginning, we were thinking, how are we going to piece this together this year," said Valley Christian coach Dan Kuyper. "There's real satisfaction because it's more of a blue-collar win this year. I always like hard working teams and these guys were really about that. We didn't have a lot of fabulous talent, just hard work."
Valley Chrstian's only win came in the 4x800 relay, as Austin Weinland, Alec Chavez, Matt Benninger and Nathan Basinger rolled to victory in 8:12.88. Other than a second-place finish in the 4x400, the Trojans put together enough third, fourth and fifth-place finishes to claim the championship.
"We had a good middle-distance group and I always like to build a team around middle distance," Kuyper said. "That gave us enough to put us over the top."
Jacob Moore placed third in the pole vault (12-6); Andrew Sullivan was third in the 110-high hurdles in 15.59 (he was also fourth in the 300 hurdles) and Dustin Nelson was third in the 100 in 11.47.
Both seniors, Sullivan and Nelson (and Trent Maselink) were out for track for the first time this year and their addition proved just what the Trojans needed.
"This group, we kind of strung it together," Kuyper said. "And those seniors really helped."
Benninger also added seven more points with his fourth-place finish in the 1,600 and his seventh-place effort in the 800.
Rounding out the scoring for the Trojans were Tyler St. James, fifth in the high jump (5-10); Trent Maselink, fifth in the 300 hurdles (42.02) and Austin Weinland, seveth in the 400 (52.17).

Taking on the eliteApril 17,2014When Ecuador struck oil in the 1970s, the tiny group of wealthy families who ran the place bought themselves mansions and
private jets. They threw a few bones to the poor: subsidies for gas and food. But then the price of oil plummeted. Suddenly, they were broke.
So they borrowed more money from the United States and the International Monetary Fund. Once again, they stuffed their own pockets with cash. But this time, they gave almost nothing to the poor. The United States and the IMF wouldnt let them. The loans were conditioned on free-market reforms: reducing subsidies, selling off state-owned enterprises, and letting foreign oil companies have their way.
Understand that history, and you will understand why the poor people rose up and toppled three presidents in Ecuador. You will also understand the meteoric rise of Rafael
Correa, who has built a career on criticizing the IMF and the United States.
Correa comes from that virulent reaction of people not just sensing that they were getting screwed over, but seeing it, said J.D. Bowen, an assistant professor of political science at Saint Louis University.
Correa isnt your average politician. Hes an economist, one of the few to get a chance to put his theories into practice. In 2001, he earned his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His dissertation examined why market-oriented reforms of the 1980s failed to make Latin America better off.
He concluded that the Americans pushing those policies didnt understand the vast inequality in Latin America between the elite, who controlled everything, and the poor, who just got the scraps.
To listen to them talk about the free market where most people do not have access to good education, good health, good wages, it was crazy, Correa said in an interview during a recent visit to Boston. Its one thing to sell off state-owned enterprises in Britain, where ordinary people have money to buy stock. Its another thing to auction them in a country of peasant farmers who have no way to participate.
In Illinois, Correa learned that the United States doesnt always practice what it preaches. When it comes to protecting their own vulnerable industries, Americans push the free market aside.
Yes, I am skeptical about free trade, Correa said, flashing a movie-star grin. I learned that from Alexander Hamilton.
Ultimately, he came to view capitalism and socialism as sets of tools to fix problems. The question was: Whose problems are you fixing? The problems of the majority? Or the elite?
After he got his degree, Correa returned to Ecuador to teach economics. He wrote memos for the Ministry of Finance, and swiftly got appointed minister. But he grew impatient with the ministrys submissiveness to the IMF. He quit with a big speech that made him famous. In 2006, he ran for president against Ecuadors richest man a banana magnate and won.
Since then, he is best known in the United States for rejecting a free trade agreement, refusing to renew the lease on a U.S. military base, and offering refuge to Julian Assange. On Capitol Hill, hes been called everything from an irresponsible rogue to a tyrant who stifles the press. It is true, especially in recent years, that he has used a heavy hand against his critics in the media and in some nongovernmental groups.
But his record speaks for itself. Correa has used Ecuadors oil wealth to target inequality, investing in education and infrastructure. Poverty has dropped from 35 percent in 2007 to 27 percent in 2012, according to World Bank data. Per capita income has risen from $3,310 to $5,170. Today, Ecuador has one of the fastest-growing economies in the region.
Perhaps one of the reasons that Correa has been so successful is that he isnt really the reckless ideologue that he pretends to be.
He may have announced in fiery speeches that he refused to pay back those fraudulent international loans. But quietly, he cut a deal that bondholders were willing to accept. Unlike Venezuelas Hugo Chavez, Correa has been very pragmatic, says Hans Humes, a longtime investor in Ecuador.
So maybe, at the end of the day, Correa is not a man who rejects the power of the markets invisible hand, but rather someone who thinks the hand works best after inequality is addressed. Wealth and power are inextricable. When a tiny group of the elite control everything, it hijacks the invisible hand to serve its interests alone. Thats not just a lesson for Latin America. Its one we should learn here in the United States.

NHL lockout: Mediation fails to break stalemate
Two days of mediation was unable to push the NHL and NHL Players' Association closer to a new collective bargaining agreement.
No progress was reported after a series of meetings with U.S. federal mediators Scot L. Beckenbaugh and John Sweeney in Woodbridge, N.J.
"After spending several hours with both sides over two days, the presiding mediators concluded that the parties remained far apart, and that no progress toward a resolution could be made through further mediation at this point in time."
And so the stalemate continues.
Rick Curran has never had a situation where his client sat down with an owner and signed a new contract. If he did, the joke goes, the agent might find himself out of a job. But there have been times during a tense negotiation when Curran found it beneficial to step aside and allow the two principal parties to talk and get a feel for what each wanted.
"It's strictly to get a fresh view," Curran said Friday. "Anytime there's an opportunity out there to take a fresh approach, to have further communication, how can it hurt?"
That seems to be the NHL's belief for suggesting that the players and owners meet without their negotiating representatives following this week's unsuccessful meetings with a federal mediation. They have tried almost every other combination so far: large groups and small groups, meetings where only NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr were present, and others where just the deputy commissioner Bill Daly and NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr participated. Nothing has worked.
So on Thursday, Bettman proposed that he and Daly and the Fehr brothers step aside and let the owners and players meet privately and speak directly to each other.
Such a meeting would not end in new collective bargaining agreement. It is a just a chance to talk without lawyers clouding the message.
"I think it's a good idea," player agent Mark Gandler said. "If nothing else has happened, why not try this?"
"I think we're at a point where you have to exhaust any and all possibility that would potentially allow for some traction," Curran said.
A similar approach was taken in January 2005, when former player Trevor Linden met privately with Harley Hotchkiss, the late Calgary Flames co-owner. Of course, that did not prevent the cancellation of the season a month later.
"No one is suggesting they're going in to negotiate a contract. That's not what's going on here," Curran said. "And perhaps the end result will be the disappointment of nothing coming out of the mediation. But how can it hurt?"
The question that the players' association was mulling over on Friday was how to properly proceed. Fehr was hired because of his expertise in labour negotiations, so not having him inside the room would seem to be a tactical disadvantage for the union. Then again, depending on which owners and which players are present, there could be advantages in having employers and employees meet face-to-face.
"Really what it comes down to is that while Bettman and Fehr are working on behalf of both sides, it's the owners and the players that the dispute is between," player agent Kevin Epp said. "If you get in a room with an owner and listen to what his perspective is, and you get to tell an owner what your issues are, then I think that makes sense."
This isn't a one-on-one negotiation. This is a group of players and a group of owners. So I don't think the players will be shy
The key, added Epp, is making sure the right people are present.
"You can't have players who are on the periphery, who just get all the hearsay and don't know all the issues or dynamics and haven't been in on any of the meetings," Epp said. "I think you'd want players to speak to the owners they are employed by. You want a guy like [Vancouver Canucks owner Francesco] Aquilini talking to Cory Schneider or [Montreal Canadiens owner] Geoff Molson talking to Josh Gorges."
Those inclined toward conspiracies might believe this is a tactic by the league aimed at driving a wedge between the players and Fehr. The NHL has tried this in the past by publishing its proposal on NHL.com and allowing general managers to talk to players. So maybe Bettman believes this is a setting where the players will cave.
"I don't think it's a trap," Gandler said. "It's true that any given owner has much more experience than any given player in negotiating deals and discussing important matters. However, this isn't a one-on-one negotiation. This is a group of players and a group of owners. So I don't think the players will be shy. I don't see a lopsided discussion here. I think it will be pretty even."
In other words, this could be yet another stalemate. If it is, the next meeting that the players hold could be with the labour board announcing their plans to decertify the union. Or it could be when Bettman meets with fans to announce that the season is finally cancelled.
Either way, time is running out.
