Historical Traveler Reviews Majestic Barriere Cannes
Grand Old Hotel
We had a most pleasant stay at this fine hotel. Our room had a great view of the sea. Location on the Croisette was exactly what we were looking for. If you're on a tight budget this probably isn't the one, but if you're looking for an upscale traditional hotel with great service you will enjoy the Majestic.
Disappointment, small outdated rooms
Save your money and stay somewhere else. Better yet, avoid Cannes altogether. We found the outlying areas to be more charming. Our first rooms was very small and had a horrible stench, after switching rooms we received a second room that was still stuffy and had electronic blinds and no view. Very few rooms in this hotel actually offer a sea view based on the way the hotel is construced. Service was average. Carpet on stairs of hotel literally had tears in it as well as some of the upholstery in our room. A colleague of mine also stayed at this hotel and had to switch after finding hundreds of ants on the floor.
Not all it's cracked up to be
We stayed here over Valentine's for a week. The foyer and bar areas are indeed splendid and palatial, but the room we had was small and pokey, with little room to move around. Our electronic window shutter was broken and was never repaired despite numerous requests during our week long stay. Also, considering the price we paid for our trip, we really grudged all the "extras", which amounted to just about everything other than toiletries. No tea or coffee making facilities in the room, and a king's ransom for any delivered. No breakfast included, and again an extortionate fee for a pretty basic and unexciting breakfast. Sandwiches ordered by the pool cost about �20 each (!!!!). There was also no iron in the room, so if you wanted to have anything ironed.....yes, you guessed it....extra. I had one skirt and one dress ironed and this cost about �30. I have no problem paying more for quality and service, but I think this hotel tries to take the Mickey a bit by charging high rates in the first place then charging more for anything else, which in most hotels in the UK, at this price, would come as standard.
De-Lightful Barriere
My wife and I were adequately impressed with this hotel. Although initially accomodated in a smallish room due to availability (compared with 5 star hotel room sizes we are accustomed to in South Africa), we were genuinely impressed when accomodated in the 'best suite' (must have been my wife's charm), sea-facing and with 'open' balcony. The service and attendance of the staff were impeccable in our experience, from first greeting to bidding us bon voyage, and which really contributed to making our first visit to the famed city-of-light a truly de-lightful experience. Sure, 'de-lightful' may not be a wanton description preferred by the Grand, an establishment frequented by great stars and dignitaries alike, but the staff's sheer professionalism, hospitality and sincere interest expressed in our well-being, made this a 'come-back-for-more' experience for us.
NIce Hotel
I spent 2 weeks here in June 2002 right after Film Festival got rate of 172 Euros including breakfast buffet. They did charge for pillows at Pool which upset me as I watched people walk in off the street and just sit on chairs others had left. Manager refused to turn on Pool heater as he didn;t like all the children congregating at the pool. Manger was Arrogant, but Carlo the concierge was great he rememebred my Mothers birthday and had roses and a scarf waitng in our room for her. All imn all a great expereince for her 60 th birthday
Don't expect too much. It's only the name.
Don't expect too much. It's a typical grand hotel, but if you do not afford the expensive rooms, you'll get a quite small chamber without any sign of luxury. As other reviewers said, everthing else there is quite expensive and mostly not worth the money (except you like bad drinks on expensive chairs at the pool). At all, the staff was quite arrogant: when I arrived with my car, they didn't ask me whether they can help me, but rather "what do you want here?". "I thought, I'll stay here for a night". "Ah, okay, sorry". Not very convincing.
A few last words: Try to avoid Cannes at all - at least, don't stay there. It's only the name. If there is no festival, half of the restaurants are closed, the beaches are expensive or completely overcrowded. Only take a walk at the Croisette, look at the yachts - and move on. Cannes is not really exciting. Rather stay at smaller hotels around this area.
Too many extras
Beautiful hotel, wonderful location, but for the price you pay you wouldn't expect to pay for using the swimming pool or the gym.
Majestic is wonderful (but Cannes...)
Stayed at the Majestic 4 nights in July 03. The hotel is wonderful and the staff is eager to please (except for breakfast, skimpy and overpriced at Fouquets). It's the lap of luxury, a shame it's wasted in a city that rests on the laurels of the film festival. Not much intersting to see or do. Not convenient as home base, either. As for the hotel, it is exceedingly comfortable, one of the best in the world. I cannot find fault with this wonderful property. Enjoy yourself!
Nice but lots of extra fees
The Majestic is a lovely hotel with very friendly staff. Given the price, you do not expect to be paying so much for the extras. For example, to go to the beach and get a mattress, expect to pay an additional 19 Euros per person per half day. Also, a chair by the pool will cost the same. I was also surprised to see an ancient hair dryer in the room. On the positive side, the hotel is very central and surprisingly quiet.
I expected more...
It is a beautiful hotel, but not the "majestic" I expected. For a hotel that is renowned, I expected more, while there is nothing that really distinguishs it from any other five star hotel (other than the view - if you have one!). One thing that really frustrates is the elevators, there are two small ones to service everyone, and they take forever to come.

Philosophy convertI've been loving Philosophy products ever since I recently tried the "Makeup Optional" kit, so I decided to give this primer a try too.

Definitely helps my foundation work/look better. Stiff price, but worth it for me!

Philosophy Girl Saddened By Results of The Presentlol ... I have to admit, I'm a die-hard Philosophy Girl; I like ALMOST everything I've ever tried from them. This, however, is one of those items I've tossed. The smell is unattractive, I didn't find it primed my skin well for moisturizer or foundation, and I disliked the texture immensely.

VA steps up effort to alert veterans about benefits
Forty percent of America's younger veterans – those who have served since the 9/11 attacks – say they have little or no understanding of the benefits due them, despite efforts over recent years to match returning soldiers with the help and services they need.
An analysis of Department of Veterans Affairs survey data found that more than half of all veterans say they have little or no understanding of assistance that ranges from access to the VA's well-regarded medical system to lifetime payments for disabilities suffered during military service to access to education, life insurance and home loan programs.
One major change will come this week when a new law will mandate all departing service members go through a series of detailed benefits sessions. Until now, participation in such sessions varied by service and was often optional.
The VA had been reaching 150,000 service members per year; under the mandatory, beefed-up, sessions, that's expected to rise to 307,000.
Read more in the Sacramento Bee about McClatchy Newspapers' analysis of what veterans understand about their benefits, how participation varies by state and the VA's outreach efforts.
"We want to accept them into the VA. We want to help them," said Joseph Curtin, who recently became the VA's director of outreach.
Read an earlier American Homecomings post about part of the new approach: New 'reverse boot camp' to help those exiting military

A book is shaped like a door, but it's too small to walk through, though I sometimes imagined that if I laid my cheek against the book and peered along the lines of type into the gutter or the margins, I might see something that lay outside the purview of the paragraph. I did the same with mirrors, hoping to catch a glimpse of something I had never seen before. So when I first saw a Sim walk into view from somewhere off the side of my computer screen, I thought I'd found, if not a door, at least a window into Wonderland.
The Sims are virtual people. They walk, and talk, and pee, and play computer games, and they do all this with or without your interference, though you can make it easier for them, or harder. You create a family for them, move them into a house, give them a life. A mundane one: They're constantly putting their dirty dishes on the floor, and you have to make them pick them up, or the rotting food will draw flies. If there's time after dinner, they might watch TV. There is no story, just the daily business of getting by, and no real way to win, though presumably you want to give them good jobs, more friends, and the "biggest pimpest house" (to quote one online player).
The Sims is the bestselling computer game of all time, and The Sims 2, out this fall from Electronic Arts, sold a million copies in its first 10 days of release. It is at least as addictive as the original. It is also, ultimately, boring; something is missing. Or maybe not enough is. What do you need to make an imaginary world? Not much. Every little girl knows that when you get a new doll, the first thing you do is take off her clothes. In a pinch, she can also do without head and hands. Imagination is the essential element. Props are secondary. Same with books, which give us in some ways more, in some ways less to work with: words on a page. But from them we can build a world.
So one thing an imaginary world needs, I think, is to fail. Those toiling away on CGI dinosaurs and VR helmets might consider this: When the illusion is perfect, it will no longer amaze. Lifelike is impressive because it's like life, meaning slightly, deliciously different. Lacan says that in early childhood we see ourselves in a mirror and find that self way more impressive than the mess of tingles, aches, smells, and partial glimpses by which we previously knew ourselves. We admire that resplendent individual, and we form ourselves in her image. We are our own wannabes. One of the first things Sims players doespecially in Sims 2, where you can model a face in considerable detailis make someone who looks like them. (But slightly, deliciously different.)
The Sims like mirrors too. They can practice their charisma in front of them, making speeches and gesturing. A little test tube floats in the air nearby, filling up with blue. When the tube is full, ding! They're one degree more charming! Sims also like to read. They select a book, sit down on a nearby couch. While they turn the pages, the tube appears. When it's full, ding! If they selected a cookbook, they are now less likely to burn down the house with a stovetop fire.
Sims can also read for pleasure. What are these books about? Nobody knows. Even if you could make out the words, you wouldn't understand them; Sims have their own language. Sure, you pick up some of their phrases; you even find yourself wanting to use them in situations where attitude means more than information, which are more common than you'd think. But the Sims actually are talking about something. You know what it is from the pictures that flash over their heads: masked robbers, the atom, bags of money, sailboats.
Simlish, a synthesis of vaguely familiar sounds, bears some resemblance to the composite language of Dante's demons as described by Umberto Eco.
Demons were consigned to a hodge-podge of tongues after Babel, same as humans. But whereas humans were cast into confusion by their sudden inability to communicate, demonslike angelscould communicate without words. Apparently the Sims can too, because only mind readers could speak a language in which words have no stable relationship to meanings. Sims say the same things over and overor rather, they make the same noisesbut different pictures flash above their heads.
Will Wright, the Sims' creator, originally wanted to use Navajo for the Sims' language, inspired by the Navajo code talkers in WW II. Navajospoken by so few people that it is harder to crack than a secret codeis the paradigmatic language spoken in order not to communicate. If there was something decidedly strange about using the language of a conquered people to wage war on behalf of their conquerors, there is something even stranger about using it for the kaffeeklatsch of a sort of virtual reservation, suburban-America-style.

OPINION: Fukushima crisis shows weakness in Japanese crisis management.
Initial assessments of Japan's response to the 3/11 disasters were positive. Tokyo appeared to have responded quickly and efficiently to the combined earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear catastrophes. The government established an emergency response team headed by the prime minister, coordinated over 300 organizations providing disaster relief, and quickly ordered deployment of the Self-Defense Forces to disaster areas.
Yet as time passed, a more critical assessment arose of Japanese indecisiveness, poor coordination amongst national and local governments, and unwillingness to assume responsibility. These factors, combined with the Japanese requirement for consensus-building leadership, hindered effective government disaster response.
The lack of decisive national leadership even delayed the government's initial understanding of the extent of the Fukushima nuclear disaster which, in turn, degraded Tokyo's efforts to contain the problem. Kevin Maher, former State Department Japan Desk officer, criticized Tokyo's efforts, saying, ''It was very clear to me as coordinator of the task force that no one was in charge. No one in the Japanese political system was willing to say, 'I am going to take responsibility and make decisions.'''
Poor coordination between national and prefecture governments resulted in costly delays to the U.S. military's disaster response. U.S. Marine Corps ground units were unnecessarily delayed for two days as a result of needless negotiations with local authorities.
Though Japan's response to the Great East Japan Earthquake was an improvement over those of the 1995 Kobe earthquake, lingering systemic shortcomings are cause for serious concern. Unless corrected, these systemic problems, most notably an inability or unwillingness to make decisions, will undermine Japanese responses not only to natural disasters but also foreign policy crises.
The (Naoto) Kan administration's stumbling response to Chinese belligerent behavior during the Senkakus incident in September 2010 was also due to indecisiveness and timidity. Similarly, Japan's inability to implement the 2006 Guam Agreement has strained relations with the United States. Although Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda has pledged to make tangible progress on the Futenma Replacement Facility, my meetings with senior DPJ officials cast doubt on that promise.
Japanese interlocutors during my mid-September trip to Tokyo unanimously praised Noda as an improvement over his predecessors -- though Kan and (Yukio) Hatoyama admittedly set the bar low. But all cautioned against expectations for Noda actually accomplishing anything until after either the DPJ election or general election in 2012 and 2013, respectively. It was argued that Noda must first prioritize harmony amongst factions and parties over national interest or implementing critically needed policy changes.
The unfortunate and potentially disastrous result is that Japanese harmonization and indecisiveness will lead the country to continue to lose influence and even relevance in Asia. Although Tokyo is unwilling to act, Beijing does not share the same self-imposed constraints.

Comment: Re:You're Talking About a Different Scale (Score 5, Insightful) 239
Frankly put, I'm unaware of "American organized political trolling" that rivals this.
Americans are quick to believe the Official Narrative, no matter how absurd. Mass media is the professional 'troll' that gets people to fight each here.
Again, you're conflating two things that are significant enough that I don't see a simple one-to-one comparison here.
The clear difference here is that the trolls in the article are a nebulous entity whereas the media trolls are not. I know to laugh at Glenn Beck and Katie Couric. I know who they are. I recognize their blubbering stupid talking heads. They're a trainwreck of lies and half truths. On the other hand, you can't stop google from returning search results that confirm what you're looking for. When it's a "trending hastag" on Twitter, you can't figure out if it's legit or not. How do I know that podonski432 on Twitter is the same individual on Youtube named ashirefort posting videos of an explosion is the same person retweeting podonski432 and adding ashirefort's video to their tweet?
Mass media doesn't employ subterfuge and I sure as hell can stop reading the New York Post & Washington Times & CNSNews & Huffington Post and all that other drivel. I can't, however, identify easily that this account on Twitter is just the new troll account that tricked me last time.
You do know that it's news if the New York Times is caught lying or spreading known falsities, right? I watched Jon Stewart hold a "reporters" feet to the WMD fire on one of his recent episodes. There's no self-policing mechanism like that among trolls.

What a riip off 5.2013
posted 2 years ago
24 PetWatch gave us a false sense of security with their "gift" insurance. They did not cover our valid claim for mites and they never have honored ANY claim at our vet, Kings Mountain Animal Clinic.As a member of the local SPCA I am going to strongly suggest they drop 24 PetWatch asap. Surely someone else can provide the microchip service.
Pros: COMPLETE SCAM
Cons: RIP OFF INSURANCE

This product is great for a little extra insurance on your pet. I know the local shelter uses them for all adopted animals so that they can be located if they ever get lost. I think it's definitely worth the money!
Pros: Keeps them safe

I leave 'em froze like her-on in your nose
from Nas – It Ain't Hard to Tell (Stink Mix) Lyrics on Genius
"Her-on" is the meme old-school way to pronounce "heroin"
Nas freezes his competition because he is so dope, in the same way that heroin can get stuck in your nose when you snort it.
Heroin also has a characteristic "chill" when it first hits one's bloodstream — this is due to its opium base, which severely numbs whatever orifice or appendage it comes in contact with. In the context of this line, it would leave your nose cold if it were to come in contact with it.

Globe Telecom shifting to new IT system in March
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—Globe Telecom postpaid users may experience difficulty in subscribing to various promotions for voice calls, short-messaging service (SMS) and mobile Internet for three days next month as the company launches its new $90-million computer system.
"We have invested over $90 million to launch a new and advanced IT system along with our ongoing network modernization," the company said.
In an advisory sent to postpaid users this week, the company said billing statements might also be late for as long as three weeks after the transition, which would take place on March 2 to March 5.
"As with most upgrades of this scale, we are spending significant effort to minimize any impact on you, so any impact will be small and temporary," the company said in the letter. "During this period, you will still be able to call, text and browse. However, there will be times when you may encounter some issues."
Globe and Tattoo postpaid users will be unable to register to promos, except for all roaming promos for Globe Postpaid, which will continue to be available even during the transition period.
"We will let you know through text advisories when you can sign up again for promos," the firm added.
The company said that as it migrates to its new billing system, first bills after the migration would be delayed by three weeks. "Your payment due dates will be adjusted accordingly," the company said, adding that users would also see some changes in their bills, depending on the cut-off date and the time the company would complete the transition to the new system.
"We will explain changes in how your bill looks like as you receive them," the company told users. The transition will have minimal impact on prepaid subscribers, it said.

"Telephone" The Morning Pages (Lady Gaga)Posted on November 18, 2010
Brooklyn roots-rockers The Morning Pages illustrate just how far a Macbook with iLife and a YouTube channel will get you in this world. Catchy country-rock groove that I would actually listen to on the way to work.
"Two Out of Three" Jamey Johnson (Meat Loaf)Posted on October 22, 2010
Jamey Johnson is hereby forgiven for co-writing "Honky Tonk Badonka Donk." Of course, if push came to shove, he wouldn't even have to do this awesome cover for me to forgive him. He's old-school country and I dig it.
"When the Stars Go Blue" The Corrs & Bono (Ryan Adams)Posted on December 10, 2009
Yeah, I did the Corrs. Three beautiful Irish sisters who can sing pop songs while playing traditional instruments. Sorry, can't forget the brother is OK too. Ryan Adams puts out so much material. One hopes that covers by the likes of Tim McGraw and these children of Ireland help turn people on to the rest of his catalog. Just stay away from "Jacksonville City Lights" unless you want to be really depressed.
"Amos Moses" Dale Watson (Jerry Reed)Posted on December 04, 2009
Primus probably has the best known cover of this swamp rock classic. But Dale Watson, who is trying his best to keep real country alive and well, does a good job. In fact, this wasn't part of his set. A fan screamed it out and he obliged.
I posted this because it is about killin' gators. Roll Tide tomorrow y'all!
"Fortunate Son" Todd Snider (Creedance Clearwater Revival)Posted on September 24, 2009
Todd Snider is a great songwriter. Period. Up there with Tom T Hall, Townes Van Zandt and Randy Newman. It all starts with being a great story teller. That's evident on all of his albums. His sense of humor is great too as you'll find out when he introduces his set or tunes his strings. of But he can also do a great cover. This is just what a great cover is all about. Here's Todd with "Fortunate Son" from Creedence Clearwater Revival.
"Blue" The Thorns (The Jayhawks)Posted on September 12, 2009
Indie/alternative rock supergroup (really?) The Thorns consisted of Matthew Sweet, Peter Droge and Shawn Mullins. They recorded one album to my knowledge around 2003. Here they are with a Jayhawks number. For my wife who says the Jayhawks version is better, even though we are both fans of Matthew Sweet & Co.
"Wagon Wheel" Southern Drive (Old Crow Medicine Show/Bob Dylan)Posted on September 08, 2009
Interesting story to this song. People like to say that Bob Dylan wrote it but that's only half true. He wrote the chorus for the western movie "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" and left it incomplete. Ketch Secor from Old Crow Medicine Show wrote verses to go with Dylan's choruses and the rest is southern liberal arts school sorority chick history.
Here's some band called Southern Drive on the campus at Southern Methodist University doing a superb cover, making it their own. Good job y'all. This is the perfect first entry for Open Mic Mondays.

The European Banking Federation (EBF) has published joint letters (dated June 6, 2014) to be sent to the European Commission and to the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) signed by the EBF, the European Fund Management Association (EFAMA), the European Savings and Retail Banking Group (ESBG), the Federation of European Securities Exchanges (FESE) and Insurance Europe.
The trade associations call on the Commission and EFTA to find an urgent solution to ensure that the ESA Regulations are included in the EEA Agreement and warn of potential disruption to the single market in financial services. The trade associations suggest that there is a risk that EEA member states will be transformed into third countries for the purpose of EU financial services legislation, which will impose new regulatory and organizational requirements for companies that have established branches in EEA member states.
The letter summarizes concerns that were raised in a position paper published in April 2014 by Finance Norway, which analyzed the potential risks of delaying the inclusion of the ESA Regulation in the EEA Agreement. Position Paper.

The title character, played well by Ron Cook, is an obnoxious actor's agent (imagine that) who gets sacked and goes into a high-speed tailspin that lands him sleeping on a park bench. Marber's agemid thirtiescuts him some slack: He's undoubtedly too young to understand the issue. Apparently, if current productions are accurate, boys will be boys until they're not, but only some playwrights are able to grapple convincingly with the subject.

Ever since the trailer of Kick released, apart from the international style action sequences, fans have been talking about the similarities between the look of superhero Hrithik Roshan aka Krrish vs Devil or Salman Khan in Kick.
Masks are a favorite with Superhero. However, in Kick, Salman plays a common man and wears the mask. He has no super powers. Interestingly, in the original version of Kick (Telegu) the hero wore dark glasses and nor a mask. Masks are cool, they define who we are or who we want to be and people can make a killing (literally and figuratively) wearing or selling them. We asked fans what they thought about the Krrish vs Kick masks (see box for results). About the similarities in the masks, director Sajid Nadiadwala says, "I don't really have anything to say about the comparison between the masks. In any case, our Kick is 10 per cent of the original Kick (Telugu)."
Poll results
Who wore it better
Hrithik Roshan: 55 %
Salman Khan: 45%
Best masks in Hollywood
Darth Vader's Mask (Star Wars)
Among the most iconic mask in movie history, Lord Vader's helm went through many concepts before arriving at the final product. And yes, it kept him alive, but that didn't mean it couldn't look sweet. But as slick as it was, it only concealed the decay inside, as we saw at the end of Return of the Jedi. At least until Lucas photoshopped Hayden Christensen in.
Jason's Hockey Mask (Friday the 13th series)
Why a hockey mask? It has less to do with goaltending and more to do with cutting people open with a machete thanks to one man in particular, Jason. There is no more iconic horror mask, and it almost, almost took the top spot.
Scream Mask (Scream)
The Scream mask is certainly one of the most iconic masks in a genre full of them, but its Munch-esque design made it truly memorable. But as it turns out, it's just a bunch of different people wearing it running around with knives, so it's much less terrifying than say, Freddy Kruger invading your dreams and shoving a razorblade hand up your rectum.
Hannibal's Muzzle (The Silence of the Lambs)
It's not so much a mask as a jail cell for Hannibal Lecter's mouth, but it's by far one of the most terrifying ones on this list. It physically restrained Hannibal from eating people's faces, but it never did contain him for long. Also, another great mask from Silence of the Lambs is the guard's face that Hannibal uses to escape. Gory genius.
Zorro's Mask (Zorro series)
Zorro's mask is definitely the most simple out of any on this list, but it's so iconic they made an entire movie based around it (The Mask of Zorro). It's all about how whoever picks up the mask assumes Zorro's mythos and all that jazz, but really it's about watching Catherine Zeta-Jones almost get naked.
Reconstruction Mask (Vanilla Sky)
Tom Cruise's protagonist David Aames enjoyed wearing this a little too much in the movie after his accident at the hands of crazy bitch Cameron Diaz, so much so that he started to freak people out. It bears an eerie resemblance to Michael Myers mannequin mask, but at least Aames only killed people by accident.

The prime minister has stressed on good governance and assured the nation of "good days ahead". How is this going to be implemented?
After the new government has taken over, we have been working day in and day out, and every ministry is trying to churn out its best possible results. We are trying our best to improve the economic situation of the country.
BJP says we have inherited only worst economic conditions from the Congress government. PM has talked about the 'bitter pill' as a remedy. What impact will it have on the common man?
On the basis of available resources, we are making our best efforts. Our focus would be on reviving the major sectors of economy, especially the manufacturing sector.
How are you tackling the issue of inflation?
The first and foremost measure that we have taken is de-listing, which means that the farmer will now be able to go anywhere and get the best price for its produce. He is not only bound to sell his produce through APMC. Additionally, we are planning to flood the market with crucial commodities such rice, onion and potato so that the prices can go down and be controlled in the short term.
How will you seek a balance between inflation and growth?
It is not just a single factor that decides the growth of the economy. Manufacturing, agriculture and several other factors are together responsible. The farmer must get immediate relief. An important point that I would like to make here is that even if growth rises to 10%, but there is no employment then the figure is a complete waste.
Finance Minister had earlier said that hoarding is flourishing in some of the states. At the outset, it appears as if the Centre is trying to shift the blame on to the states.
I disagree. We are not shifting our responsibility to the states. However, there are certain predefined division of the states for which only the state government is responsible; for instance, controlling hoarders and black-marketeers. We are working in tandem with the state governments. We are not saying that it is only the state governments' responsibility to keep a tab on hoarders and black-marketeers; we are insisting on the joint ownership of the matter.
It is a triple attack by inflation, weak monsoon and Iraq terror. Crude prices are going up. As a commerce minister how much does this concern you?
It is certainly worrying for me. We are monitoring the situation, and will take control of it soon.
Will you lift restrictions on gold imports?
Due to the existing gold import policy, jewellery and gems export sector has been badly impacted. We have received several recommendations to review the gold import policy. Whether the duty will be reduced would be soon announced in the Budget, and we are reviewing the matter on priority basis.
There have been differences regarding implementation of Goods and Sales Tax. How are you planning to put this through?
We are going through a complete exercise, and are trying to work on the differences of opinion with the opposition. We are quite clear that we have to get it rolling soon. We are in the process of consulting state ministries. Indeed, there are going to be some legislative and constitutional amendments involved in the same.
FDI in multi-brand retail was opposed by the BJP, even when your party was not in power. Now that you hold the chair, will you change your stand?
We believe this is not the right time for FDI in multi-brand retail to be implemented, and our stand on this matter has been consistent with the statements that were mentioned in our manifesto.
Being a corporate affairs minister, what is your reaction on chit-fund scams that are happening a lot recently?
We are waiting for investigations both from the state and central governments. We do understand that there are serious implications of such matters and a lot of small investors lose their life-long savings. We will try hard to provide immediate relief to small investors.
NSEL scam was close to Rs 5,000 crore. Jignesh Shah has been jailed and nothing has been done to the borrowers?
I have been flooded with appeals from the victims through social media. We are taking it very seriously, and I have presented it before the finance minister. Once the Budget preparations get over, we are definitely going to take strict measures to rectify the situation.

Seems a lot of the doubts as to whether the 19 year old would be able to stick behind the plate are starting to go away:
"Without question, he is significantly improved this year as opposed to last year," Cashman said. "To the point that we don't really doubt he's going to be a catcher in the big leagues."
What I wasn't aware of was that it's in his blood-on his mother's side!

DALLAS TWP. – The new president of Misericordia University will arrive with advanced degrees, a background in finance and something unusual among college administrators – a dozen U.S. patents.
Thomas J. Botzman will become the 13th president in the history of Misericordia on July 1, succeeding Michael A. MacDowell, who has led the school since July 1998.
The 53-year-old Akron, Ohio, native was offered the position this week after a unanimous vote by the school's board of trustees.
Botzman is vice president for business and finance at St. Mary's College of Maryland, a public liberal arts school with an enrollment of about 2,000.
It's the right place for my family and me, Botzman said in a phone interview from his office in St. Mary's City, Md., on Tuesday. The contract is for three years; financial terms were not made public.
Botzman does not anticipate making big changes and instead will look to continue building on the successes they have.
What drew him to Misericordia was its liberal arts curriculum and mission, something he has become accustomed to the past nine years at St. Mary's and in the previous 15 years he spent on the faculty at Mount Union College in Alliance, Ohio.
They're all small residential liberal arts colleges that look to engage students and prepare them to get out and do great things in the world, Botzman said.
His resume also lists several years working for Goodyear Tire & Rubber, earning patents for compounds used in the tire-making process.
In his role at St. Mary's, his areas of responsibility have included finance, human resources, facilities and maintenance, information technology, government relations, athletics, sailing and public safety. He's also a professor of economics.
While he enjoys teaching, Botzman doesn't anticipate getting into the classroom often his first year at Misericordia, although he hopes to be an invited guest lecturer as time permits.
He said his background in business and economics – he's worked in industry and is the holder of 12 U.S. patents – will play a big role in his ability to serve as president and make sure finances are in place to provide an education at a reasonable price for all students who want to learn.
As president of Misericordia University, I will need to convey the pivotal roles of teaching, research and service to a wide range of stakeholders and constituencies, especially in matching curriculum and program to students' needs, Botzman said, explaining how his background in both teaching and administration will aid his transition to the new leadership post.
That same background and enthusiasm were noted by the head of the search committee as making Botzman stand out from the other 68 applicants.
Dr. Botzman's background and expertise matched Misericordia University's agenda for new leadership perfectly. He brings significant enthusiasm for this important leadership position, and a broad array of successful experiences that will enable him to build on the momentum our University has experienced over these last 15 years, said university Trustee Christopher Borton.
The board of trustees voted unanimously to offer the position to Botzman after on-campus interviews with the four finalists: Botzman, Michael Fischer, Barbara Farley and Suzanne Mellon.
MacDowell applauded the hire.
Tom possesses the background and the credentials to make him an outstanding president. His years of leadership in higher education at both private and public colleges, his interest and experience in international higher education programs, and his demeanor fit well with the people and programs that make up the university.
Botzman will become the sixth person to take over as president of a local university in the past three years. Changes have also occurred at Wilkes University, King's College, Lackawanna College, The University of Scranton and The Commonwealth Medical College.
Joseph C. Bambera, bishop of the Diocese of Scranton, issued a statement welcoming Botzman to the diocese and the college.
I look forward to continuing to collaborate with Dr. Botzman and the Misericordia community in a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect as together we strive to produce leaders for tomorrow's world who possess intellect that is rooted in moral, spiritual and ethical sensitivities which are essential to be successful in today's society, Bambera said.
Thomas A. Botzman, who will become president of Misericordia University July 1, earned a B.S. in engineering from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. He also holds an M.A. in economics and a Ph.D. in business administration from Kent State University in Kent, Ohio. Botzman and his wife, Vanessa, a nurse, have one daughter, Gabriela, a high school senior.
