Brazilian base rates could hit 10% before year-end, analysts say after Copom set the Selic rate at 9.5% on Wednesday
The Central Bank of Brazil, led by Alexandre Tombini, is
likely to raise the Selic rate at its next meeting, analysts
said after a 50 basis point rise to 9.5% on Wednesday.
Analysts were split over how high the Selic rate would rise
this year, though.
Wednesday's move was the bank's
fifth consecutive increase, as it targets inflation.
Bradesco analysts said they expected a 50 basis point hike
in November. Goldman Sachs analysts agreed, saying the
consistency of the central bank's statements meant
another 50 basis point lift was ahead.
"The unchanged statement implies that the case for reducing
the magnitude of hikes to 25 basis points in November would
have to be supported by better-than-expected inflation data
and/or worse-than-expected growth data, or a meaningful dovish
shift in the global macro outlook," the bank said.
Copom's last split decision was in April, when
six committee members voted in favor of a hike and two against,
as the rate increased 25 basis points. Since then, the
committee has voted unanimously in favor of 50 basis points
Another rate rise at the next meeting was the most likely
outcome, said Bank of America Merrill Lynch analysts. "Although
a 50bp increase appears to be the next move in the November
meeting, the weakness in recent economic data continues to
point towards the end of the tightening cycle before year-end,"
the bank said.
But Barclays disagreed. The bank said a 25 basis point
increase was its best guess for a November move.
Barclays said it expected growth to slow in the second half
of the year, with GDP expansion of 0.2% and 0.3% in the third
and fourth quarters, down from 1.5% in the second quarter.

Ala. attorney questions death penalty in new book
Jaffe, who almost accidentally became a capital defense specialist after being appointed to a death penalty case three decades ago, uses Padgett's case and others to write that the system is badly flawed. The book will be released Feb. 1 by New Horizon Press of Far Hills, N.J.
While Alabama's system is particularly troubled, he writes, dozens of people have been wrongly convicted and executed nationwide.
"I always keep in mind the maxim that history will judge a society by the way it treats its weakest and most vulnerable," he writes. "Although most would assume that applies to the poor and the elderly, all one has to do is look at those who end up on death row: an overwhelming number are poor, disenfranchised and suffer from some mental defect or even brain damage."
Rudolph is the most famous of Jaffe's clients. Jaffe represented him for more than a year after his capture, withdrawing from the case before the loner pleaded guilty to bombing a Birmingham abortion clinic in 1998 and setting off bombs at the Olympics and elsewhere in Atlanta earlier. The deal allowed Rudolph to avoid a possible death sentence.
Jaffe got along with Rudolph, who admitted to planting the abortion clinic bomb in what he said was a bid to save the lives of unborn children. But Rudolph didn't express remorse for the death of a Birmingham police officer killed by the blast, and Jaffe said Rudolph's actions highlighted a big difference between them.
"In every case, my fervent stance against the death penalty precludes a person or the government from taking any life, for any reason," he writes. "Only the God I believe in should do that, without human intervention."

Michael Wesley: Asia's New Age of Instability
Michael Wesley is an adjunct professor at the University of Sydney and a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
A central theme in the Obama administration's recent foreign-policy narrative has been that the United States is returning to Asia after a decade of distractions in the Middle East. It is easy to argue that Asia should be America's highest foreign-policy priority. After the financial crisis, Asia emerged as the growth dynamo on which the hopes for the revival of the American and global economies are pinned. At the same time, this very economic dynamism produces huge bilateral trade deficits and is largely responsible for the steady decline of American manufacturing. And Asia is home to the United States' most serious strategic competitor: China.
America is about to discover that Asia has changed dramatically over the past decade. Its main strategic competitor is now its largest creditor; its most important regional ally, Japan, has entered its third decade of economic stagnation, demographic decline and toxic politics; and once-estranged countries such as India and Vietnam have become promising but demanding partners. America has changed too. It is constrained by a war-weary population and a stifling government debt burden.
The big question is where the United States fits into this changed Asia. Its current approach appears to be a mixture of updated Asia strategies of old and tactical responses to various demands of Asian competitors, allies and partners—some wanting the United States to be a guarantor; others wanting it to be a balancer; and yet others viewing America as an opponent. What is missing is a careful reappraisal of Asia's new strategic dynamics, a hardheaded assessment of what America's Asian interests are and a considered approach to fulfilling these interests.
Such a reappraisal requires a proper understanding of the pillars of America's successful Asia policies in the last quarter of the twentieth century. It should include an analysis of the fundamental changes that have undermined these pillars and will likely erode them further in coming decades. It must then identify American interests within the new Asia and find the best policy levers for securing them...

It could be true based on the CrystalMark benchmarks that Everun provided to UMPC Portal. I just checked the numbers against the ones I ran on my Samsung Q1 Ultra Premium and the Everun Note shows significant potential. Bear in mind that Everun ran the testing, not a third party; I'll be more interested when the product actually gets some play time and testing outside of the Everun labs. ;)
Regardless, these are impressive numbers for a UMPC. It certainly helps performance when you tuck a dual-core AMD Turion 64×2 1.2 GHz CPU in there. What will that high-power do for run-time? Everun says three hours on the 19.2 W/hr battery, but I'll go out on a limb and suggest that as tested in the benchmarks, the device will see two hours at most. That remains to be seen until we see more information of course, but I don't recall the Turion 64×2 being a power sipper. Steve should have his hands on a test device in the near future, so I can't wait to see his experience.

US Boy Scouts covered up sex abuse to save face
Published on Sep 17, 2012 9:51 AM
(AFP) - The Boy Scouts of America failed to report hundreds of alleged child molesters over two decades and often left parents in the dark as a means to save face, the Los Angeles Times reported on Sunday.
After reviewing 1,600 confidential files dated 1970 to 1991 from the century-old organisation, the Times found more than 500 instances in which the Scouts learned of abuse directly from boys, parents, staff or anonymous tips, rather than after the incidents were reported to the authorities.
And in about 80 per cent of those cases, there was no record of the Scouts reporting the abuse claims to authorities. The Times also found that officials actively sought to hide the allegations or allowed the suspects to conceal the abuse claims in more than 100 of the cases.
Although the organisation, which counts nearly four million adult and youth members, has long sought to keep the "perversion files" out of public view, it could face a damning wave of lawsuits and bad publicity in the coming weeks as the records are set to be released.

Soybean slowdown
It's hard for me to complain about the showers we received followed by above-normal temperatures. I would guess that corn is well over 90 percent planted in my area, and the stands look great. Last week's warm moist weather was just what the doctor ordered for the corn.
Rained out
Corn planting is done for many. However, I have had a chance since it's been raining to drive around, and we are far from all planted as far as corn in this area. I have talked to several guys that still have two days of planting corn to go.
Rain welcomed
All our corn is up, which is also the case throughout our area. The vast majority of the soybean crop has been planted, too, and much of it has emerged.
Planting gains
The majority of producers has finished corn and is planting some bean acres. There has been a lot of corn emergence this past week with stand looking relatively well unless some low-lying areas end up drowning out from all the rain.
Upgrade and expand our transportation infrastructure
It is no secret that our nation's transportation infrastructure is in a state of disrepair.

Re: Binocular Conundrum: Field of View?
Not really groggy. I'm still stuck on the exit pupil being the same size, the eye relief being the same or very similar, and as a result the geometry, the size, of the image being put on the retina is going to be the same size.
If the "reality" is 100 feet wide, and the image on the retina is, let's say 10mm wide, then the apparent magnification is fixed and the only way to change the FOV is going to be by changing something, which will either result in a different magnification, or a reduction in the size of the image on the retina.
If all these binocs have the same "night factor", the same apparent size image as fixed by the exit pupil size, the iris, the retina, then they cannot have different FOVs. In order for the FOV to change, the magnification has to change (and they all say it doesn't) or the size of the image on the retina has to change. And they all say that's limited by the exit pupil size.
I'm no math ace, but either the binoc makers are tlaking in tongues, or there's something they just don't talk about which is in fact changing, along with the FOV. And for the FOV to change by 50%, the image on my retina has to become 50% larger as well, and that would mean some significant change in the back of the binocs. Exit pupil, eye relief, something has to show a similar huge change.
Or, they're all cooking the books with the numbers. You know, like "this boat sleeps eight!" Sure, as long as that's Snow White and her little friends, two to a berth. (G)

Less than a month after starting its services, the Mumbai Metro announced today that it would be providing Wi-Fi connectivity across all its stations. Earlier this week, the metro had faced a lot of flak for water leakage in one of its compartments.
Also read: 'State of the art' Mumbai Metro suffers leakage due to rain in first month
Unfazed, the Metro authority announced its new service on the micro blogging site Twitter today saying, "Network problems while travelling? Not Anymore! The Mumbai Metro now has W-Fi!".
Network problems while travelling? Not Anymore! The Mumbai Metro now has Wi-Fi! pic.twitter.com/jrtwSG7hOQ
— Mumbai Metro (@MumMetro) July 3, 2014
The Wi-Fi connectivity is available at all the 12 metro stations and commuters can now surf the net, mail, tweet or download while at the stations on their laptops, tablets or smart phones. Those interested in using the new service would get the first 15 minutes of usage everyday, for free as an introductory offer.
However, to stay online for more time, commuters will have to buy introductory coupons for Rs 100, which will allow them Wi-Fi access for 180 hours. These coupons would be valid for six months from the day of purchase. The introductory offer is valid only for the first 5000 buyers and the coupons can be purchased from customer care centres at the metro stations.
Speaking to dna, a Mumbai Metro spokesperson, said: "Mumbai Metro is facilitating its commuters with Wi-Fi connection and around 1000 commuters have already used the Wi-Fi network. Wi-Fi connectivity in trains is slated to be provided by the end of the month." The MMOPL has tied up with You-broadband to provide the connectivity.
The Mumbai Metro had began its services from Versova to Ghatkopar on 7 June this amid much political drama.
What to do if you want to avail the Wi-Fi Service
1) To Log on to the internet, users would have to select Wi-Fi @ Mum Metro
2) When a user opens the browser, it will automatically direct to the Youbroadband registration page.
3) Commuters seeking the Wi-Fi access are required to register on the page by providing details like their names, phone numbers etc. and then send an SMS to an authorised number given on the website to authenticate themselves.
Here's everything you need to know about getting your Wifi connection at our stations. #HaveANiceDay pic.twitter.com/1FELvdEUcp

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Tuesday alleged that the Congress-led UPA government has not properly utilized the money in 'Nirbhaya Fund', and added that incidents of rapes are becoming a day-to-day affair in Delhi.
Addressing a rally here, Modi said in the last ten years the country has lost so much, and added that unemployment, poverty, corruption and farmers suicide are very much prevalent.
"Today, rapes are happening on the day-to-day basis. But this government is fooling people. When Nirbhaya incident happened in Delhi, then the whole country protested on the streets. A scared government then constituted a 'Nirbhaya fund' in which they allocated Rs.1000 crores rupees. But they haven't spent a penny from that fund for the security of women in Delhi," he alleged.
Modi, who arrived late for the rally due to a delay, alleged that there was a conspiracy behind it.
"I want to apologise for coming late. There was two hour delay in Delhi. Then, my chopper was not allowed to take off for over three hours in Bareilly. I want the Election Commission to investigate," he said.
"It is pretty evident that the Congress has even lost the ability to digest their certain defeat. They are so much scared because their efforts to stop the BJP have been unsuccessful. They stooped to this level so as to cause inconvenience. The elections will go on for around 2 months. They are misusing the government for causing problem to the opposition," he added.
He reiterated that the Congress manifesto is a 'dhokhapatra' instead of a 'ghoshnapatra'.

But, in the manner of a well-funded sports team, it used its financial muscle to pre-empt an expected auction for the GlaxoSmithKline brands and snap up some top beverage talent.
That, in side-stepping the auction, it paid a premium for two brands that boast about GBP500m (US$785m) in annual sales is likely not much of an issue for the division of Suntory Holdings. After all, when it launched an IPO last month, Suntory Food & Beverage raised close to US$4bn, much of which it earmarked for acquisitions abroad. Also, in Ribena and Lucozade it has two brands that have a firm foothold in the UK as well as in emerging markets such as Nigeria and Malaysia, where Suntory Food & Beverage has zero presence beyond a Malaysian outpost of its chicken essence maker. (One analyst told me that GSK may have also been able to extract a high price on the back of a resurfacing of a feel-good factor in the UK economy.)
So, while the Ribena and Lucozade purchase makes sense from a current strategic standpoint, it also ticks boxes for further down the road. Suntory has already said it plans to use the brands as a Trojan horse to smuggle its existing portfolio into the UK and other markets.
Meanwhile, the company has said it has no plans to launch its latest buys into its home market. But, that may change, and it's not hard to imagine the company looking for the same success for Ribena and Lucozade in Japan as it has found for Orangina, which is growing well in the company's homeland, according to one analyst I spoke to. Like Orangina, Ribena and Lucozade are well-positioned brands that can aim for global expansion without having to tweak their underlying formulas too much. Growing their success, particularly in Europe, may also give Suntory Food & Beverage the confidence to finally launch some of its Japan- or Asia-only brands into Western markets, something Suntory's beer unit has started, albeit on a small scale.
Initially, however, it is in the UK where this acquisition will spark most change. It signals the entrance into a competitive market place of a new player, and one with very deep pockets; perhaps deep enough to further change the soft drinks landscape. It is only a few months since AG Barr failed in its attempt to merge with Britvic, but the Irn Bru owner may now be regretting that it didn't offer more sweeteners to complete the deal with its UK rival. Indeed, Barr had been mentioned as a possible buyer of Ribena and Lucozade but, after missing out, it may now be the next target for Suntory Food & Beverage and its IPO billions.
Such a move makes strategic sense - Barr would get access to an international network that far surpasses the one it sought from Britvic, while, in Barr CEO Roger White and his colleagues, Suntory would have a crack management team to head up its new UK venture.
An obvious hurdle would be the high price Barr would command. Suntory would "have to pay up", an analyst told me today, taking into account the political implications of the sale of a company with a strong Scottish heritage a year before the country votes on independence from the rest of the UK.
Yet, with Suntory's heaving war chest, a deal could be possible. And, Barr would find itself in control of Ribena and Lucozade, though under very different circumstances to what it previously envisioned.

Performance management
Managing performance translates in the effective management of both people and processes. Knowing and understanding the resources available to enhance effectiveness is critical to the success of our employees, our teams and our institution.
An important best-practice at McGill is its Performance Dialogue Process, currently adapted to the management and coaching of employees in the M category.
The two-fold process looks at planning/assessment and employee development.
Key components that inform Performance Dialogue are relevant, in a broader sense, to the needs of all employees:
- Clarity around roles, responsibilities and expectations (what is expected and how one is expected to undertake one's work, e.g. interpersonal skills, etc.)
- Understanding of how one's role links to the success of the unit's priorities, and to the University's Mission
- Dialogue/feedback on performance throughout the year (positive reinforcement, developmental and remedial)
- Recognition of employee contribution and encouragement toward continuous learning, with sensitivity to work context.

Mother Teresa Persevered Through Doubt
A Light in the 21st Century's "Dark Night"
By Elizabeth Lev
ROME, SEPT. 01, 2007 (Zenit) - As a respected Boston lawyer once remarked of recent biographies, "It's tough times for the dead." A case in point was the cover of last week's Time magazine. Splashed across the front page ran the headline "The Secret Life of Mother Teresa," accompanied by the gloomiest picture you ever saw of the saintly nun.
With its sensationalist title, Time magazine not only descended to the level of tabloid journalism, but betrayed a woeful ignorance of the meaning of Blessed Teresa of Calcutta's spiritual journey.
Capitulating to the fad of finding the sordid behind the glitter, where titles like "Britney's Breakdown" or "Lindsay in Crisis" are guaranteed to boost sales, the article itself feeds into the mentality that things are never as pretty as they seem. In our age of masking our own shortcomings by pointing out the flaws in others, it suggests that Mother Teresa's joyous love of the poor hid a darker, almost sinister side.
Recent interest in the extraordinary founder of the Missionaries of Charity stemmed from the recently published book "Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light." Father Brian Kolodiejchuk, postulator for the cause of canonization of the saintly nun who died in 1997, compiled her letters and writings, including a number that revealed Teresa's spiritual trials.
By releasing these documents, Father Kolodiejchuk sought to grant readers a window into the intimate spiritual life of Mother Teresa, and to offer inspiration and hope by recounting her challenges in following Christ.
Instead, some have twisted her doubts about her faith, which she confided in letters to her spiritual director, into an indictment of her sincerity and personal holiness. Time author David Van Biema writes, "Perpetually cheery in public, the Teresa of the letters lived in a state of deep and abiding spiritual pain."
These terms relate Mother Teresa's life to that of a comic actor, suggesting that her professional persona and her private self were separate. Yet Teresa did more than just smile for cameras; she demonstrated joyous love, through her every action, gesture and expression.
The predatory glee with which news services leapt upon word of Mother Teresa's "dark night of the soul" resembled the same relish with which they report celebrity arrests. Questions such as, "Can she still be made a saint?" demonstrated an utter lack of knowledge regarding the Church's idea of sanctity while attempting to sow division by casting doubts on her holiness.
As a side note, Mother Teresa of Calcutta is blessed, which means that she is officially recognized by the Church as being in heaven. When she becomes a saint, worldwide devotion to Mother Teresa will be permitted, i.e. church dedication, invocation during the liturgy etc.
A different standard
The standards of the media are not those of saints. While Teresa herself feared falling into a sort of spiritual hypocrisy, the fact was that she, like many saints, possessed an especially keen sensitivity to how she fell short of Christ's example.
Celebrated atheists leapt to recruit the nun to their cause. Christopher Hitchens, who penned a vicious biography of Mother Teresa, was quoted extensively in the article. Seizing the opportunity to reach millions, Hitchens eagerly made his bid to turn Teresa into a poster child for nihilism.
Time also consulted psychologists to posthumously analyze Mother Teresa from her letters. It seems strange that so many people who do not believe in the soul felt themselves qualified to probe that of Mother Teresa's.
Although many have already rushed to quell these sparks, Mother Teresa obviously needs no defense. Happily situated in heaven along with other doubters like, well, St. Thomas, she is probably beseeching Jesus with her characteristic compassion to forgive Hitchens and the others "for they know not what they do."
Paradoxically, the divisive aspect of the stories has done what many Church synods couldn't. Liberal and traditional Catholics have joined forces to correct the record and to recognize Mother Teresa as an example for all people who suffer spiritual loneliness.
Her doubts and suffering, far from being a source of shame for those who love and admire this great woman, should make us proud to discover that she is an even greater hero than we thought.
For anyone seriously interested in the cause of Teresa, her spiritual difficulties come as no surprise. They were made known after her beatification in 2003. Discussing the subject at Roman dinner tables at the time, people spoke with awe of Mother Teresa's exceptional perseverance in the face of what would have crumbled anyone less attuned to God's grace.
Mother Teresa's experiences are not scandal, ...

ok...so having been to the drs a few times i know my baby doesnt have colic. HOWEVER...
she's extremely gassy and fussy and basically constipated. not totally constipated...she has relatively normal poop when she goes but its a painful process to do it. she gets really red and grunts/cries a lot.
we have tried soy formula - made it worse. she's on enfamil gentlease now. its better than the soy. she's been on gas drops...sort of helping gas but not much. dr recommended a tablespoon of karo syrup in her bottles to help clean her out...she's still only having one bowel movement every 24-48 hrs.
its frustrating bc she fusses almost all day long. if she's not eating or sleeping its fussing. is there any other formula that has worked for others in my situation? or am i just going to have to deal with it until she gets older and her GI tract matures? and how long is that going to take?
she's just shy of 7 weeks right now. i just want to get this all sorted out before she's old enough for cereal and first-stage foods.

StoveTeam International Founder One of Five To Win $100,000 Purpose Prize For Establishing Sustainable Solution to Open Cooking Fire Risks in Developing Countries
StoveTeam International Founder Nancy Hughes will use winnings to continue opening sustainable fuel-efficient stove factories in developing countries to reduce risks associated with open cooking fires.
Eugene, Ore. (PRWEB) November 03, 2011
Eugene resident Nancy Sanford Hughes received international recognition today as a Purpose Prize® Award recipient. The $100,000 award will benefit StoveTeam International, the nonprofit organization she founded in 2007. StoveTeam International solves medical and environmental problems by helping start sustainable, locally owned factories to promote the use of safe, affordable, fuel-efficient stoves in the developing world
Civic Ventures, a nonprofit organization focused on work for a social purpose started The Purpose Prize® in 2005. It is the only national award to specifically recognize people over the age of 60 in âœencore careersâ making a social difference in the world. Five individuals over the age of 60 are selected each year to receive up to $100,000 to be put towards their endeavors, and Nancy is one of the two international winners.
To watch The Purpose Prize® video featuring Nancy click here.
Nancy will be honored at the 2011 Purpose Prize awards ceremony on December 1 in Sausalito, Calif. The approximately 300 attendees of the invitation-only event will hear from Purpose Prize judges, including NBCâs Jane Pauley and Sherry Lansing, CEO of The Sherry Lansing Foundation and former chair of Paramount Motion Picture Group. The 28 judges â" leaders in business, politics, journalism and the nonprofit sector â" chose the five winners from a pool of more than 1,000 nominees.
Nancy founded StoveTeam International in 2007 using matching funds from Eugene Southtowne Rotary. Nancy first saw the debilitating burns and devastating effects of smoke inhalation caused by open cooking fires when she served as medical mission trip in Guatemala in 2004. She learned that more than two million premature deaths annually are caused by exposure to smoke from traditional open fires, with women and children the most afflicted. It is one of the top five overall health risks in poor, developing countries, and the cause of twice as many deaths as malaria.
A colleague nominated Hughes for the award, and when informed of the honor, she said, âœI feel humbled. I did not choose to do this workâ"it chose me. The recognition is great; it will enable us to leverage StoveTeamâs expansion and protect even more children and families by reducing the use of open cooking fires. StoveTeam Ecocina stoves are fuel-efficient, safe, smokeless, portable, cool to the touch, and need just a few pieces of kindling to cook a full meal.â
In the past three and a half years alone, StoveTeam has helped establish six factories in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Nicaragua. Hughes and StoveTeam is currently researching new stove-making options for Ghana, Paraguay, Fiji and Kenya where they plan to open more factories in the coming year.

Kids With Autism Find It Hard to Describe Poor Behavior, Study Finds
FRIDAY, Oct. 19 (HealthDay News) -- It's difficult for children with autism to recognize improper social behavior and, even if they do, they are often unable to use spoken language to explain why the behavior was inappropriate, a small new study reveals.
The findings from brain scans of children with autism support the results of previous behavior studies that reached similar conclusions about language impairment in children with autism, the researchers said.
The study included 12 children with autism and 13 children without autism who were asked to identify in which of two pictures a boy was being bad -- a social judgment -- or which of the pictures was outdoors -- a physical judgment. As the children did this, their brain activity was monitored using functional MRI.
Both groups of children were successful at the task, but the children with autism showed activity in fewer brain regions involving social and language networks, according to the study published Oct. 17 in the journal PLoS One.
Although language was not needed for the task, the children without autism used language areas of the brain while making their decisions about the pictures, noted researcher Elizabeth Carter, of Carnegie Mellon University, and colleagues.
"These results indicate that it is important to work with these children on translating their knowledge into language," Carter said in a journal news release.

Story of the little shop round the corner won a National Award
Bharat Stores by P. Sheshadri, which got the best regional film award in the 60th National Film Awards, will release at four screens in multiplexes and a few single screens in nine cities across the State this Friday.
Actors Sudharani, Gurudutt, H.G. Dattatreya (Dattanna), who got special mention for his performance in the role of Govinda Shetty, Prasad, Kumar and Padmakala are in the star cast.
The preview had special invitees such as the Jnanpith award recipient U.R. Ananthamurthy, who appreciated Mr. Sheshadri's efforts in dealing with a situation that may well affect millions in the country in the days to come. "One needs courage and commitment to make a film on the subject and Mr. Sheshadri has exhibited both. The film effectively portrays the human [costs] of political decisions," he observed.
Bharat Stores delineates how globalisation has resulted in mushrooming of malls and marts, killing off neighbourhood kirana shops and the families that depend on them.
After the screening, Mr. Sheshadri spoke on what inspired him to make Bharat Stores. The idea germinated when the United Progressive Alliance government announced its decision to allow foreign direct investment (FDI) in retail trade on September 14, 2012 and news channels aired fierce debates on the pros and cons of the government's move. Recalling the days when he used to buy small packets of grocery for mere 25 paise from a petty shop near his house in Srinagar here, Mr. Sheshadri said a big mall that came up in the Kathriguppe area hastened the little shop's demise.
He discussed the subject with his friends Girish Kasaravalli, J. Prahlad, Gopalakrishna Pai and Dattanna, who were enthused. "Basanth Kumar Patil, who produces my films, chipped in and Bharat Stores evolved," he explained.
"I want to clarify one thing. I have not taken a stand either for or against FDI. I have just narrated the story of Govinda Shetty. It is up to the audience to take a stand on the issue," Mr. Sheshadri said.

Looking for a friend, fellow horse lover.
Hi. I guess you could call me an independent type of person. People have told me I have a good sense of humor. I don't believe in dwelling on the sad or bad things in the world or my life.

Someone to share interests, whether it be a beautiful sunset or a walk in the woods, or sitting by a campfire, or a trailride on the horses through the mountains or just sitting on the couch together watching a movie. Someone who enjoys many different things in life, and sharing them. I feel that a friendship is one of the most important things in life. Someone who is caring, trusting and fun to be with.

ANDERSON A South Carolina man has been arrested on charges of killing two people more than a month ago and stuffing their bodies in barrels before dumping them into a lake, authorities said Saturday.
John Michael Young was captured at an Anderson home, Anderson County Sheriffs spokesman Chad McBride said. A jail spokesman said Young was likely to make a first appearance before a judge later Saturday. He did not know if Young had an attorney.
Deputies charged Young with two counts of murder after collecting a chainsaw and machetes from his home near Lake Hartwell.
Authorities said in arrest warrants that Young killed 52-year-old Tony McGinnis in September and 37-year-old Andrea Mitchell in October by beating them in the head in woods near his home. Investigators didnt give a motive but said the victims werent killed at random.
Mitchells body was found Wednesday in a plastic barrel that was partially submerged in the lake after an officer saw the barrel and examined it. Deputies returned to the lake Thursday and found McGinnis dismembered body in a metal barrel about 10 feet under water.
The two victims were acquaintances and had several friends in common, McBride said.
A second man, Shaine David Fischer, was charged with two counts of accessory after the fact of murder. Investigators said he helped Young dump the bodies in the lake. Arrest warrants said he confessed to his role and led investigators to charge Young. It wasnt known if he had an attorney.

The 2013 FHM 100 Sexiest victory party held Wednesday at the World Trade Center in Pasay felt at times like a beauty pageant with the hopefuls parading in their national costumes—a Swiss milkmaid, Korean royalty, an American Indian … Then they disrobed, revealing flimsy, barely-there bikinis, and all hell broke loose. So much for world peace.
The show opened with scantily-clad models obviously out to fulfill myriad male fantasies— women in military uniforms or Japanese seifuku and kimonos. There were cowgirls, French maids, race-car drivers and baton-wielding policewomen. But it was the ones with nearly nothing on who sent the testosterone-heavy crowd to the edge.
A voluptuous model came out wearing only black thongs and tiny pasties on her ample busts. The men, necks craned, rose from their seats, and started hooting. As she walked down the lengthy catwalk, hordes of cameras, zooming in to who knew where, followed her every step of the way till she struck a pose at the end.
Aubrey Miles opened the main show, looking like a naughty queen in a red suit with matching cape. She made her entrance on a moving throne decked with palm leaves.
What followed was a series of well-choreographed dance numbers meant to titillate: Bangs Garcia in the Garden of Eden; Ryza Cenon and Meg Imperial in Aztec-inspired costumes; Glaiza de Castro as a sea goddess in a skimpy blue dress; Empress Schuck, who surprised not a few by landing in the Top 10, was the night's snow queen.
Missing was a huge chunk of the Top 10—Angel Locsin, Jennylyn Mercado, Cristine Reyes, Solenn Heussaff, Ellen Adarna, Anne Curtis and this year's bridesmaid, Sam Pinto, hailed FHM's sexiest in 2011 and 2012.
But their absence didn't mar the show, especially with hot moms Aubrey, Andrea del Rosario, Jana Victoria and Sheree showing everyone that they still had what it took.
Brazilian bombshell Daiana Menezes briefly stole the scene when she showed off her trim waist in a bright pink two-piece, and drew cheers louder than stars far more famous than her did.
Other eye-catchers onstage were Rufa Mae Quinto, Jinri Park, Gwen Garci, Saicy Aguila, Ornussa Cadness, Roxee B., Yam Concepcion, sisters Michelle and Ehra Madrigal, LJ Reyes, Ritz Azul and No. 9 sexiest, Jackie Rice.
Golden girl
A flock of women in golden thongs and masks took over. Some wore conventional tops; the rest didn't seem to have anything by way of concealment but long, wavy tresses. Their bodies, swathed in glitter, glistened as they walked, danced and tossed their hair about. Seductively, yes.
Then darkness, followed by a roaring clap of thunder. A female voice announced, "The sexiest and most beautiful woman in the land … Marian Rivera." As the lights came back on, the woman everyone was itching to see emerged atop the stage, setting off a frenzy of clicking shutters and flashing bulbs.
Marian, who had graced the magazine's cover for the first time last January, was in an all-gold outfit—a set of elaborate wings; strips of fabric snaking round her alabaster limbs.
With the stereos blasting Phoenix's "Girlfriend," Marian sauntered confidently—none of the hammy poses or antics of those who went before her. She smiled and gave a teasing smirk. That was more than enough to make the hot-blooded men in the crowd roar.
Her boyfriend, actor Dingdong Dantes must have been watching from somewhere, thinking, "That's the closest you'll ever get."

Lightning strike starts house fireDULUTH - A lightning strike sparked a fire Wednesday that caused significant damage to a two-story house in Duluth. Firefighters were dispatched at 9:31 p.m. to 3964 Leeward Court after a passing motorist noticed the blaze, said Lt. Thomas Rutledge, spokesman for the Gwinnett County Fire Department. No one was home - the residents were out of town, Rutledge said. The flames were brought under control by 10:22 p.m. There was significant damage to the interior of the house and smoke damage throughout the dwelling. Man admits to burning woman's purse LAWRENCEVILLE - A Lawrenceville man burned his girlfriend's purse Sunday after the couple got into an argument at his house on East Morningside Drive, according to a police report. The girlfriend told police that Mohammad Anwar Salim, 28, became irate when she told him she was going to a party. She claimed that Salim said "I'll settle this situation" and then walked outside and set her purse on fire. Salim admitted to burning the purse, but he told a different story. Salim told police he torched the purse after arriving home to find his girlfriend and his roommate "making out" on the front porch. Salim was arrested on a charge of criminal trespass. - From wire reports

Transnational Family Ties, Remittance Motives, and Social Death among Congolese Migrants: A Socio-Anthropological Analysis
Academic journal article
By Peter, Kankonde Bukasa
Journal of Comparative Family Studies , Vol. 41, No. 2 , Spring 2010
Article excerpt
In empirical research (1) amongst Congolese (2) migrants in Johannesburg, the majority of respondents consider remittances as constituting a strain on their livelihoods in host settings and as cause of a major setback to the realization of their initial migration projects (e.g., start or expand their businesses, further their studies, travel to other destinations, etc.). They allege that remittances contribute not only to protracted migration, but also to inability to invest material and social resources for local integration or onward movements (Landau and Kankonde, forthcoming). However, a significant number of respondents who feel that remittances cause a setback still remit, and do so despite circumstances of economic hardships in the host society. What is the social and familial significance of remittances explaining such a social pressure? To answer this question I propose a socio-anthropological analysis of remittance motives disentangled from their economic utilities.
Indeed, while primarily embedded in, and informed by familial membership negotiations, most research on remittances explores the remittances of labor migrants and their economic effects in their country of origin (de Bruyn and Wets, 2006; Muteta, 2007); much less is known about migrants' socio-cultural dynamics and effects of remittances in host settings. The research on which this article is based investigates how transnational family ties and socio-cultural dynamics shape migrants' remitting behavior and inform their familial relationships. It shows that influenced by an economic utilitarian conception of money, most research on remittances fails to capture migrants' personal and familial significance of remittances embedded not only in their transnational social relations, but also in cultural contexts. Drawing on quantitative data from a survey in Johannesburg among 200 Congolese, 200 Somali and 200 Mozambican migrants as well as 200 South Africans (as control group), and furthermore new qualitative research amongst 60 Congolese migrants in Johannesburg, the study's argument is that migrants remit primarily in a bid to foster familial belonging in order to escape social death and at the same time buy and sustain social status. It argues that socio-cultural influences and internalized stereotypes about economic effects of emigration shape migrants' awareness of their role expectations in communities of origin and exercise on them such a social pressure that migrants often feel a compelling need to be perceived as financially "successful" as well as "valid" and "good" family members not only in their communities of origin but also among other migrants. In such a context, remittances become fundamentally the measures and criteria shaping migrants' sense of familial belonging or exclusion.
I argue that in each society there are designations or identities attached to individuals who possess socio-cultural values or valued goods. Such acquired social designations or identities, as social objects (Med, 1994: 218 as referred to by McKinnon and Langford, 1994), not only have social market value, but are also established and sustained through participation in familial relations and the display of expected behavior (McKinnon and Langford, 1994: 218). Thus leaving a family or social class involves crossing the "gulf of belonging and such an act often involves marginalization as social sanction (S.I.R.C., 2007: 11). Any functioning society, somehow and depending on the specificities owing to local characteristics, distributes its members into social positions on the basis of birth, occupation or performed behavior, and induces them to perform the duties of such positions (Davis and Moore as referred to by Lin, 1999: 468). Families in Africa as elsewhere are goal directed and have tacit codes of conduct transmitted to children through cultural education, which define their family roles and expected behaviors. Thus, showing one's life skills or contributing towards the socio-economic uplifting of other family members, etc. …

The Tea Party in Colorado lifted another candidate to the forefront -- gubernatorial runner Dan Maes. The former businessman beat Rep. Scott McInnis, despite charges of plagiarism, fines for campaign finance violations and comments that he would fire thousands of state employees.
The Tea Party's support "was absolutely vital. There's no question," said Maes' communications director Nate Strauch. "When he got into it he was virtually unknown. ... They essentially put Dan on their backs and gave him that push and momentum that he needed to reach out to a broader group of voters."
Unlike the Republican Party, Tea Party supporters stringently require candidates to support the ideals of limited government, low taxes and personal responsibility, Strauch said.
"The fact that the Tea Party is requiring that of candidates whereas maybe the Republican establishment has overlooked some of that -- the fact that the Tea Party is requiring that the candidates meet those standards, stick to their guns, I think is a big boon in the general election," he said.
Here is a look at some of the top Tea Party candidates and their prospects in the November midterms:
Rand Paul: His honeymoon period had barely begun when the libertarian-leaning GOP Senate candidate found himself caught in the middle of a slew of controversies. First, it was his statement to MSNBC's Rachel Maddow questioning whether the government could enforce anti-discrimination laws in restaurants. He later issued a statement saying he did not support repealing the Civil Rights Act.
Most recently, a woman alleging to be Paul's former swim teammate at Baylor University told GQ magazine that he and another student had essentially kidnapped her, tried to get her to smoke marijuana from a bong and, when she refused, took her to a creek, blindfolded her and told her to bow down and worship Aqua Buddha. The woman later told the Washington Post that she wasn't forced, but the two men, including Paul, were messing with her. Paul told Fox News he "never was involved with kidnapping, and "with forcibly drugging people."
Paul is so far in a neck-and-neck race with his Democratic opponent, Attorney General Jack Conway, according to the most recent polls. Polls showed Paul as having a slight edge over Conway in May, but since then, the margin between the two has narrowed.
Sharron Angle: When the Nevada assembly member was elected for the Republican Senate seat against Reid, Republicans feared her extreme views on subjects such as Social Security would alienate her from the state's voters. The position was a well sought out one, seen nationally by Republicans as a chance to unseat the Senate majority leader. Less than four months away from the elections, those fears are increasingly growing.
Angle has steered clear of the media, except for some conservative outlets. Reid's campaign has seized on comments she made saying that people would resort to "Second Amendment remedies." She also chimed in with another Tea Party proponent, Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., that Congress approving state aid was a way to direct taxpayer money into Democrats' coffers.
While Reid has yet to gain a wide margin, most polls show him as having a slight advantage over Angle.
Mike Lee: Utah's GOP Senate candidate may have a smoother sailing in November compared to his counterparts, and he could be the Tea Party's biggest success story in November.
Sen. Bob Bennett, the conservative state's incumbent, was ousted, thanks in part to grassroots momentum from the Tea Party. But it was the national groups that helped fund Lee's campaign through the final days. Freedomworks PAC and the Tea Party Express poured money into the lawyer's campaign, and he also earned endorsements from Senate heavyweights such as Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C.
