- Clause on arrest will lead to inspector raj, says Amit Mitra
West Bengal finance minister Amit Mitra believes that implementing goods and services tax is not feasible from April given that there are at least 15 issues on which consensus is yet to emerge. In an interview with TOI's Surojit Gupta and Sidhartha, he dismisses suggestions that politics is behind Bengal's recent opposition and says that the stance is driven by economics. Mitra also warns of the return of inspector raj if proposals related to arrest and unbridled powers on the proposed anti-profiteering clause go through. How feasible is the April 1 deadline? There are many issues, at least 15 unresolved, which are critical. For example, the definition of agriculture, definition of agriculturist, what happens to a share cropper? Further, what needs to be resolved is the definition of a state. Now a question that has come up suddenly is whether the area of 12 nautical miles from state borders belong primarily to the Centre or to states. Gujarat gets Rs 1,200 crore from ships (through taxes on high seas). Maharashtra, Kerala, Karnataka, Odisha and WB have been collecting taxes. All of a sudden, some subtle interpretation of the constitutional variety has emerged. There are issues such as clauses related to arrest and non-profiteering. What about the arres clause? It is the most draconian measure. Barring Gujarat, no state has the arrest clause in VAT and it has never arrested anybody . Tax violation above Rs 2 crore will be eligible for arrest but is bailable. Above Rs 5 crore is non-bailable. And who gets the power? The tax officer. What kind of power? The same power a police inspector has. But why didn't you or others protest? Several states, including Andhra Pradesh said this should not be there. Then, the question was let us keep it and then water it down. Why not drop it and make it same as VAT law? In Bengal, tax collection doubled in five years without the power to arrest. States across political parties are of the view the arrest clause is in violation of ease of doing business. The anti-profiteering clause was inserted to protect consumers. Why the opposition? The argument made by businesses was that competition should take care of the fact that when we benefit from taxes, if I don't lower my prices, somebody else will. It may not happen in a monopoly or an oligopoly . That's where the competition commission is supposed to intervene.Now, you are looking at another authority . A point made by a large BJP state was that how many items among thousands are we going to chase? It will be cherry picking resulting in inspector raj. Is this the GST we want? Centre has said it will be an enabling provision. The minute you enable yourself, you open the gate for po tential inspector raj by an authority that has not yet been defined in the law. This clause was introduced by Malaysia and it has failed. What about dual control and what is the so The empowered committee came to an unanimous decision that was informed to finance minsiter Arun Jaitley in Kolkata and again in Delhi. The consensus was that below Rs 1.5 crore, states should continue to look after all the business, including goods, deemed goods and services. The central bureaucracy , especially the Central Board of Excise and Customs has 86,000 tax personnel, while the states have 2.65 lakh. The underlying political issue is one of federalism. There is a feeling that if there is dual control, and if the Centre has a say below Rs 1.5 crore, it will end up with the central offices in sub-divisions, or even lower than sub-division level. What about tax rates, have officers been able to categorise products? A call also has to be taken on the nature of the product.The question is who is going to take that call? For how many items? You are talking about thousands of items that may fall between two different rates. Not a single meeting has taken place on fitment of products. When is the earliest we can expect GST? The approach of the central bureaucracy will have to undergo some change. In case of dual control, in the case of IGST, both of them have been objected to by the central bureaucracy . Six meetings have been postponed on the topic of dual control. You are not committing to a date.I would not commit on a date I would not commit on a date till we have answers to these questions. Is July feasible if issues are resolved within a month? Does it appear to you that in a month what remains to be settled will be settled? That will be magical. You can have a sub-optimal, truncated GST with draconian clauses, inspector raj thrown around.Is that what the nation has betted on GST? There is criticism that you are holding up GST because of political issues -demonetisation and arrest of your party colleagues? When we ventured we knew the nation will take a hit on tax collections, particularly states. That is the reason we asked for compensation. At that time there was no other economic hit in the picture and then came demonetisation. Can the economy take two hits simultaneously? We found cesses in the GST council that will go into a fund.How much? Rs 55,000 crore.Tomorrow, if it is Rs 85,000 crore where will it come from? The Centre has promised nothing. Why can't the Centre ay that we will give it from the Consolidated Fund of India?
- Amit Shah to pick candidates for 70 seats in eastern UP

- Why Amit wants to listen to more music this year
The last episode of The Dewarists 5.0 is out and starring in it are a percussionist and music director who need no introduction. While V Selvaganesh has played with artistes ranging from Zakir Hussain to Shankar Mahadevan and also toured with international guitarist John McLaughlin, Amit Trivedi has the distinction of being one of the most talked about music directors in Bollywood. The team behind The Dewarists took these two young musicians from Chennai and Mumbai respectively, and set them free amid the dreamy streets and stirring beaches of Sri Lanka. Before long, they came up with a song dedicated to Casanovas. To those who need to constantly be in love, and whose need carries them from one love to another, much like a bird flies from cloud to cloud. We caught up with Amit, who is "excited" about his upcoming project with Aamir Khan, Secret Superstar, for his thoughts on working with V Selvaganesh on Panchiyaa, among other things. Selvaganesh describes you as a person who listens first and then suggests. Is this true? I love listening to what people say. And when masters speak one must quietly listen because one gets to learn so much. Selvaganesh is one of the greatest kanjeera players and percussionists in our country and it's been my honour to collaborate with the maestro for The Dewarists Season 5. After working with him I can say he is an equally amazing human being and a pleasure to work with. You've said you don't have time to discover others' music. Is this something you would like to change? Yes, I would love to change that this year, because it's important to know what's happening around you as far as music scene is concerned. But I find it very difficult to find that kind of time and space, because after working for hours on my own music I want to go home and just relax and not listen to more music. But I would like to change that this year. As a person who does not like his own voice, what do you have to say to fans who are hoping to hear you in new tracks this year? I still think that I am a part time singer. But yes, I am working on my singing a lot and wouldn't want to disappoint my fans. Songs that impressed you last year… I liked Jag Ghoomeya from Sultan and Channa Mereya from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. What kind of music shaped you during your formative years? Lots and lots of Gujrati gaṛbas and Maraṭhi lok geet.
- Only BJP helps poor, says Amit Shah

- BJP leader Amit Shah in Jabalpur on Jan 8

- Note ban, surgical strike to be BJP's poll planks, Amit Shah says
Demonetisation as a "pro-poor" measure and the surgical strikes on terror launch pads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir will be BJP's major election planks in the coming assembly elections in five states, party president Amit Shah told the party national executive on Friday.
- Amit Shah addresses office-bearers ahead of national executive meet
NEW DELHI: BJP president Amit Shah addressed party office-bearers here ahead of two-day national executive meet, where its top brass is expected to give final shape to BJP's poll strategy in assembly elections in five states. The party is seeking to make demonetisation, which it has terms as a "war against black money and corruption", a major poll issue, besides encashing on the surgical strikes in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir and the "pro-poor" schemes. Shah finalised the party's resolutions to be passed in the two-day national executive meeting that will be inaugurated with his address later in the day. The BJP chief will seek to motivate the party leaders to steer the party to victory in five states that go to polls in February-March, especially in high-stakes Uttar Pradesh. The party leaders will discuss and review the ground situation in the poll-bound states, BJP leaders said. The party will use the occasion to burnish its pro-poor and pro-weaker sections credentials by citing several government schemes, including the recent sops announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The top BJP brass is also expected to target the opposition over its attack on the government for advancing the Budget Session of Parliament and may project it as yet another attempt by the Congress and the other rival parties to derail Modi's "pro-poor" agenda. With the mood in the saffron camp optimistic following the prime minister's huge rally in Lucknow recently and what it believes to be a positive public response to the currency ban, the party is expected to project the opposition's criticism of the exercise as an attempt to protect the corrupt. Two resolutions, one political and the other economic, are likely to be passed at the meet. The army's surgical strikes last year to target terror launchpads across the border could also find a mention at the meeting. The Election Commission has announced the dates for Assembly polls in five states -- Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Manipur, Goa and Uttarakhand. BJP's central election committee is likely to announce the names of party candidates after the auspicious 'Makar Sankranti' which falls on January 14.
- Another gang member held in builder Amit Patil firing case
KALYAN: A day after the arrest of a sharpshooter of Abu Salem, police have arrested Majeedin Shaikh alias Mohammed Hakka, a sharpshooter of Chotta Shakeel gang, in last month's builder Amit Patil firing case in which bodyguard Vicky Sharma died. The cop so far has arrested four accused in case including Raju Hatankar sharpshooter of gangster Abu Salem. Police have found that Shaikh along with others was involved in a conspiracy to kill Patil, but by mistake shooters killed Patil's bodyguard Sharma. Shaikh was serving life imprisonment for his role in the Lakhan Bhaiya fake encounter case. Shaikh was among the 21 people, including 12 Mumbai cops, convicted in the killing of Ramnarayan Gupta alias Lakhan Bhaiya, who was considered to be a close aide of underworld don Chotta Rajan. Shaikh, who resides in Borivali, presently out on bail, was involved in property dealings. He has more than 10 cases of murder and extortion registered with the different police stations in Mumbai. The involvement of gang members has unearthed a big conspiracy behind the firing. Police sources said that Shaikh and Hatankar are among those who had taken supari to kill Amit. The police said their team is still searching for other accused in the case. Abhay Kabdule, senior police inspector of Manpada police station, confirmed about the arrest of Shaikh. Amit Patil's family have demanded arrest of local politicians for allegedly giving supari to the gang members.
- Abu Salem's aid held in builder Amit Patil firing case in Dombivli

With arrest of Hatankar total number of arrest in case have reached up to three including two shooters. The cop is also searching for one more shooter from Mulund who is on the run. Hatankar recently was on bail in seven murder cases most of which of businessman on behalf of Abu Salem in Mumbai. He presently were staying in Akola District where from recently he had contested Zila Parishad election from MNS party. Amit Patil and his family earlier had raised doubt against MNS leader Raju Patil and his brother Vinod Patil's from locality for their role behined firing and now with arrest of Hatankar who is associated with MNS party have raised doubt against both.
- Victory in local polls shows support for note ban: Amit Shah
NEW DELHI: On the last day of the 50-day window announced by PM Narendra Modi to bear with the fallout of demonetisation, BJP president Amit Shah said that the party's win in recent local polls in several states, including Chhattisgarh and Gujarat, reflected people's "stamp of approval" of the government's bold move. On Friday, Shah credited the impressive performance in civic polls in Maharashtra and Chandigarh among other places to ban on Rs 1000 and Rs 500 notes which, he said, benefitted the poor and hit hard the hoarders of black money. The BJP chief said the next round of elections would also be fought on this plank. "It is clear with results in local elections in states like Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Chandigarh and now Chhattisgarh and Gujarat that people are with the Modi government in this fight against black money and corruption while the opposition is only doing negative politics," Shah said in a statement. "People of the country have put their stamp of approval on the demonetisation decision taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 8," he said. Shah hailed PM Modi and the government for the numerous measures taken to root out corruption and black money from the country. Complimenting finance minister Arun Jaitley for the revised Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement with Singapore, Shah said the agreement would not only prevent double taxation but also increase the government's revenue. "Under PM's leadership, the BJP government at the Centre has been committed to wipe out corruption and black money from the country from the day it took charge," he said. He listed the SIT against black money, Jan Dhan scheme, IDS (Income Disclosure Scheme) as some of the steps taken by the government. "This government is for the villages, poor and farmers Modi government," he said. "In polls held across different parts of the country, including its remote rural corners, people have expressed their views clearly to the opposition and shown faith in Modi's vision and the BJP's politics of performance. This is five straight win of BJP in local polls after demonetisation," he said.
- Thane builder Amit Patil escapes bid on life, aide injured
THANE: Two unknown persons fired shots at a builder in Dombivli on Wednesday afternoon. While Amit Patil managed to escape, his bodyguard Vicky Sharma suffered bullet injury on his head. Sharma, who is in critical condition, has been taken to Shivam hospital where his condition is said to be in danger. The police said that the exact reason behind firing is yet to be known but personal enmity could not be ruled out. The incident took place in Dombivli East where Patil was standing on road near his residence and was having discussion with Sharma when suddenly two people came on a motorcycle and started firing shots at Patil from behind. After firing, the attackers fled from the spot. Following the incident, Thane police have formed different teams to find the attackers.
- Didi unfazed by personal attacks from Amit Shah
KOLKATA: Mamata Banerjee is unfazed by BJP president Amit Shah's personal attacks on her and Mayawati at the Uttar Pradesh rally on Saturday. Instead, the Trinamool chief may roll out her strategy to members of Trinamool core committee to take her anti-demonetisation stand beyond the Parliament precincts till the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls. According to sources, Didi has plans to send a party MP to represent her in former PM Chaudhuri Charan Singh's birthday celebrations at Muzaffarnagar on December 23. This event, according to some party leaders, is likely to bring several opposition leaders on the same platform. On Saturday, RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav also announced an event in Patna. Trinamool may attend the programme to reciprocate to RJD's extending support to Mamata's Patna meeting. Mamata left it to her Rajya Sabha MP Derek O'Brien to respond to Shah's comments. "In dangabazon ne desh to loot liya hai. Aap ko koi bhashan shobha nahin deta hai. Jaise hum Bangla mein bolte hain: chor ki maan ki awaaz oonchi. Chor machaye shor (these rioters have looted the country. Your remarks do not sound good)" Derek tweeted. The Trinamool MP's shrill response was a repartee to the BJP president's comment: "People who have money to hoard are the most worried. Have you looked at Mamata Banerjee and Mayawati? Unke chehre se noor utar gaya hai (their faces have lost the charm)." Banerjee, however, maintained her reserve without losing focus on Narendra Modi. She saw an "ulterior motive" in new tax exemption granted to political parties. "Mark the timing when the statement was made. Are they trying to give a hidden message to the cadre of one political party?" Mamata tweeted on her twitter handle.

Texas School District Saves with Fluorescents
San Antonio's Comal School District says it will save about $54,000 per year in energy with help from Acuity Brands lighting and controls solutions.
Kinder Ranch, an 87,300-sq-foot elementary school, is the first in the district to feature a high performance lighting solution.
The district installed 2' x 4' Lithonia Lighting SP T8 fluorescent troffers and 2' x 4' WRT T8 fluorescent troffers in classrooms and hallways. Gotham 8-inch AF compact fluorescent downlights were installed in common areas for architectural downlighting.
"We wanted to have a maximum of three lamp types in the building so maintenance only has to have three lamps in stock at the facility," said Zachary Schneider of CMTA Consulting Engineers, which assisted with the project.
As a way to further maximize energy savings, nLight lighting controls from Acuity Brands were installed to customize lighting for school activities such as quiet time and projector usage, as well as controlling occupancy sensors and daylight harvesting. But teachers can override the lighting controls, driving the lighting up to 100 percent for activities such as testing, when they need a higher light level.
Exterior glazing as well as daylighting windows were placed high towards the ceiling to drive natural light into classrooms, and shelves were installed on the inside and outside of the windows in order to eliminate glare.
To address energy savings outside, Kinder Ranch utilized a combination of Lithonia Lighting WST series luminaires for decorative wall mounts above outdoor entrances and hallways and KSF2 luminaires for area lighting in parking lots, entrances and exterior hallways.
Kinder Ranch Elementary completed the 2011-2012 school year as a high performance school, exceeding the ASHRAE standard, with total energy usage of 24.5 kBtu per square foot per year. Comparing Kinder Ranch to other elementary schools in the area, the district saved about 45 percent on utility costs. For the 2011-2012 school year, the energy savings was roughly $54,000.
Comal School District is using the Kinder Ranch Elementary high performance school model to construct an elementary school, middle school and high school.

Santa lives in Brooklyn
I met Santa Claus yesterday in front of my apartment in Brooklyn. He wore a long red jacket, with a matching cap, and he rang a small bell. Christmas carols blasted from a speaker above his head.
As I approached he smiled warmly, and reached his hand into a small wicker basket, removing a candy cane. He bowed his head slightly and stretched a gloved hand toward me, offering me the candy cane. I accept.
My eyes stare into his and suddenly I am a kid again. Memories of Santas knees, milk and cookies, and coconut-stuffed stockings rush over me. I thank Santa for the gift and wonder which of his two lists Im on this year.

Magic Realism appeared as a critical term for the arts and it later extended to literature The term was first used by the German critic Franz Roh in 1925 to characterize a group of Post-Expressionist painters Franz Roh described it as a form in which our real world re-emerges before our eyes bathed in the clarity of a new day It was later replaced by New Objectivity Magic Realism survived to define a narrative tendency in Latin America during 1949 to 1970 It can be defined as a preoccupation or interest in showing something common or daily into something unreal or strange A magic realist narrator creates the illusion of unreality faking the escape from the natural and tells an action that even if appears as explainable it comes across as strange In strange narrations instead of presenting something as real the writers reality becomes magical The writer suggests a supernatural atmosphere without denying the natural and the style is distorting the reality The intention of the narrator is to provoke strange feeling The explanations are not clear or logical There also is no innuendo or psychological analysis of the characters instead they are well defined almost in opposition and never appear confused or surprised about the supernatural Gabrial Garcia Marques says for him it is the supernatural and the natural peacefully co-existing and showing themselves through magic realism It is the encounter of strangeness and familiarity During colonization Europeans found a land full of strange and supernatural things and their records were based on their interpretations which lead to a uncertainty of Latin America Gabriel Garcia Marquez in the Conferencia Nobel 1982 the year in which he was awarded the Nobel Prize La Soledad de America Latina tells of a Florentine sailor named Antonio Pigafetta who wrote about his expeditions around the world This sailor described strange creatures which many can be found today but his interpretation created a supernatural rendition of

"From Dirt Roads to the Survival of My Soul" - Memoir of an Abused Child Who Learned How to Heal
From Dirt Roads to the Survival of My Soul tells in unflinching terms the powerful true story of author Hope Ashley.
Born in West Virginia in 1962, she was raised at a time when child abuse was seen, but not acknowledged. Her memoir tells how long the suffering from abuse can last, especially the mental abuse. "Abuse is a hard thing to share. It is also a hard thing to overcome. The physical stuff heals, but the mental stuff seems to stay with you and is much harder to deal with."
Tormented by voices from the past, the author writes of self-loathing and thoughts of suicide. She finally found her road to peace and healing by writing about her struggles to survive. Read about this amazing woman's journey in From Dirt Roads to the Survival of My Soul.
About the Author: Today Hope Ashley lives in Waskom, Texas. She wrote this book as part of her healing process and hopes it will also help others. She would like to write next about finding peace with God, because "God has changed my life in so many ways."

The general reaction to Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) Fire Phone has been a puzzled shrug. It's a good but unexceptional device with entirely conventional high-end and high-margin pricing - a move as out of character for Amazon as the purchase of Beats was for Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) (and probably driven in part by the way the U.S. pricing structure makes even $400 phones 'free').
There's an interesting quasi-3D UI feature and a big flashing BUY button, in line with Amazon's role as the Sears Roebuck of the 21st century, but little that really changes anything or couldn't be done on any other smartphone anyway. And that leaves people wondering why Amazon bothered. The most productive line of thought, I think, is to look at Prime, Amazon's whale service, and the role that the Fire Phone plays in securing that relationship.
To me, though, the interesting thing is less the phone than the platform and what it it represents - that is to say, the first real attempt to sell a phone that forks Android outside China.
Android itself is open source, and anyone is free to take the code (AOSP) and build whatever they want. Android is the new Linux, in this sense. But AOSP doesn't give you Google's (GOOG, GOOGL) own smartphone apps and it doesn't give you all the system services Google has built. So if you make an Android device without reference to Google, and change a bunch of things ('fork Android') your device won't have the app store and the maps, and it won't have the Google services APIs that lots of third-party apps need, most obviously push notifications, in-app payments, location and embedded maps. There are lots of other things Google makes as well, but those are both the important and the hard parts.
Without this Google layer you really only have a featurephone, and to get Google's layer you need to submit to Google's control over what you make, which amongst other things means that you have to use Google's interface and you have to take the whole package - whatever Google wants on the phone goes on the phone. (The core mechanic here is that you have to pass the compatibility test). Hence, Google uses access to its apps and services as a lever to control Android. This is pretty similar to the way that Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) used Office and Windows: selling an Android phone without Google's services is like selling a Windows PC that doesn't have Office and can't run it.
In China, all of this works differently. Google services are either blocked, or weak, or both (the Chinese unaccountably didn't let Google send its mapping cars down every road in the country), while the Chinese internet giants Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU), Alibaba and Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY) ('BAT') and scores of others have built lots of great Android services of their own. So the vast majority of Android phones sold in China (even from Samsung (OTC:SSNLF) or Motorola) come with no Google apps and integrate these instead.
Outside China, though, if you want to use Android as a platform but do something different, you need to build or buy those core functions yourself, and that's what Amazon has tried to do. It has licensed Nokia's (NYSE:NOK) HERE mapping platform, it has built an app store for Android, and it has built its own versions of the key enabling APIS - location, push notifications etc.
The problem is that the maps and the app store are not commodities. Adding them is not just a matter of spending the money. Google's Maps platform is very good and HERE, at least in western markets, is not as good. As with Apple Maps, it works, mostly, but the gap is clear and there is no roadmap that points to that gap closing. For apps, though an app store itself is perhaps a commodity, Amazon has only persuaded a minority of Android developers to load their apps into its store, partly since this means they have to swap out Google's APIs (for maps etc) for Amazon's, and that is not necessarily trivial. Amazon has done just about as good a job as one could expect anyone to do at this stage, and there are very few other companies that could get this far - perhaps only Microsoft. But it hasn't, remotely, reached parity with Google.
And so Amazon is testing the proposition that you have to have Play (or iTunes) and Google Maps to sell a smartphone outside China - or, rather, it is testing just how good the app store and maps have to be. How many of the latest cutting-edge apps do you have to have, if you cover the basics? How close do you have to get to Google Maps' coverage? We know Windows Phone does not have enough apps, but can the Amazon store get there?
These same questions apply to any Android OEM that might be thinking of asserting greater independence from Google (such as Samsung), with a further complication. Google's agreements with OEMs have been leaked several times, and they include clauses that prevent you from having a foot in both camps: you cannot sell a forked device and carry on selling official Google Android devices. So you can't experiment on the margins (Samsung can't sell a phone running Amazon's Fire software) - you have to walk away from Google entirely, or not at all. That's really no choice at all at the moment.
All of this takes us to the elemental question - why, exactly, are you forking Android? What important problem do you solve that's worth reinventing the wheel, while taking on the risk of building on someone else's platform, open-source or not? Why are you asking people to buy a phone with second-rate maps and a second-rate app store? Are you offering them something you couldn't otherwise do in return, or just addressing your own strategic concerns? Are you solving a user problem or your own problem?
Both Xiaomi or Cyanogenmod (an a16z portfolio company) have built their own very custom versions of Android that do none the less pass the compatibility test. And though Xiaomi differentiates on software, Xiaomi phones outside of China ship with Google Apps. Hugo Barra called it 'a compatible fork'. After all, it's not as though you're not allowed to change Android at all. Google describes the compatibility test as follows:
"Enable device manufacturers to differentiate while being compatible. The Android compatibility program focuses on the aspects of Android relevant to running third-party applications, which allows device manufacturers the flexibility to create unique devices that are nonetheless compatible."
Generally, Android OEMs have been no better at differentiating on software than were PC OEMs, even though Google allows you to change more than Microsoft did. But it doesn't follow that you can't make Android visibly better without forking it if you bring the right skills and culture - Xiaomi and Cyanogenmod (and a number of other Chinese companies) show that.
Hence, it seems to me that the forking question really flows not from a specific feature that you want to implement but for the fundamental principle of controlling your destiny - you want a platform that's 'yours'.
That is, a central strategic problem for both Amazon and Facebook (NASDAQ:FB), amongst others, is that their businesses have moved from the essentially neutral platform of the web browser, where there has been no real change in the user interaction model in 20 years, to the much messier, mediated and fast-changing platform of smartphones, where the web is just one icon and platform owners are continually adding new ways that users much discover and engage with content, such as iBeacon or Google Now. They didn't need to make browsers because browsers had become transparent commodities, but smartphones aren't. This of course is why Google itself made Android - to make sure that it would not be shut out in this new environment. Making an entire new OS is not an sensible option for Amazon or Facebook at this stage, but building on top of a free, open-source one is worth at least thinking about. But, again, in doing that you need to solve the users' problems, not just your own.
Facebook is also poking away at this issue (such as with the abortive Home), but as Mark Zuckerberg pointed out, even a really successful Facebook Phone would only be used by 5% or 10% of Facebook's users, so would really just be a distraction. Instead, faced with a very different set of competitive dynamics on mobile, Facebook is exploring the unbundling of its product with a 'constellation' of different apps. That is, Facebook is embracing this new and more complex environment. With the Fire Phone Amazon is going the other way - greater bundling rather than less.
I do wonder what might appear if Facebook's strategy was applied to Amazon's product - if there were half-a-dozen different interesting and useful Amazon apps for finding and buying products. But Amazon has never been a user experience company in that sense - it thinks about user experience the way Fedex (NYSE:FDX) does, as something to focus on ruthlessly, but not as a playground for new experiences. That means it's going to be very interesting to see how it can enchant and delight people who buy its phone.

Jones (top) submitted Vitor Belfort. | Al Bello/Zuffa LLC/Getty
Jones (17-1, 11-1 UFC) retained his light heavyweight crown in the
152 headliner, as he submitted "The Phenom" with a fourth-round
keylock on Saturday at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. His arm
bent at a grotesque angle, Belfort tapped out 54 seconds into round
four, a victim to submission for just the second time in his long
and storied professional career.
Against an undersized light heavyweight, Jones was far from
flawless. Belfort attacked from his back after succumbing to a
first-round takedown and trapped the champion in a tight armbar.
Jones escaped after a brief struggle but remained in visible pain
in the immediate aftermath of the fight.
"He got that armbar in every way, shape and form," he said. "I've
never had my arm pop like that before. I felt it, but I worked too
hard to give up. I was honestly waiting for it to break, but I
wasn't going to tap out. It just felt numb."
Jones admitted it affected his arm throughout the bout.
"My brain is trained to throw it, but it definitely didn't feel
powerful at all," he said. "It was just a really numb feeling, so
I'll have to see what is wrong with it."
Belfort (21-10, 10-6 UFC) knew a golden opportunity had come and
"It was cracking and popping," he said, "but he was tough."
Once Jones freed himself, he settled into Belfort's guard and
hammered away at the Brazilian with his trademark elbow strikes
from top position. It was not long before the blood was flowing.
Belfort's situation did not improve. Jones kept him contained on
the feet -- he even dropped him with a side kick to the solar
plexus in the third round -- and battered him on the ground.
Belfort elected to pull guard on a number of occasions, but the
tactic did not serve him well. Less than a minute into the fourth
round, Jones jumped into a topside crucifix, isolated the
challenger's arm and finished the fight with the keylock. Belfort
had not been submitted since Alistair
Overeem put him away with a guillotine choke more than seven
years ago in Pride Fighting Championships.
"I was trying to work my jiu-jitsu, but I couldn't catch my
breath," Belfort said. "He was long and moved his pace pretty well,
so that's why he's the champion."

Johnson (above) became the first.
Two of the three judges, Jeff Blatnick and Doug Crosby, scored it
for Johnson (16-2-1, 4-1-1 UFC) by 48-47 and 49-46 counts; a third,
Richard Bertrand, saw it 48-47 for Benavidez (16-3, 3-1 UFC).
"I was a little shocked [that it was a split decision]," Johnson
said. "I felt that on the standup I got him there. I took him down
a lot more. He didn't get me down once. I controlled him and had
his back. The judges are doing their jobs, and I'm doing mine,
which is to fight."
The two flyweights engaged one another for the full 25 minutes in a
dazzling display of skill, speed and technique. Benavidez made his
most significant moves in rounds two and four, nearly finishing it
in the fourth, where he staggered Johnson with a right hand and
jumped into a mounted guillotine choke. "Mighty Mouse" struggled to
free himself from the hold and was ultimately successful,
threatening Benavidez with a leg lock before returning to his
Johnson -- who opened a cut near his foe's left eye with a stout
right hand in the third round -- answered the championship call in
the fifth, as he delivered a pair of takedowns, countered
beautifully and finished with a flourish.
"Joseph is a great competitor," Johnson said. "I train hard, and I
dedicate my life to this sport. It means the world. I still have to
prove a lot of things. It's like I said. If I become a champion,
the same thing is going to happen. I'm going to go home and rest,
get back in the gym and get ready for the next battle."
Bisping's 13 Octagon victories tie him with Jon Fitch for
10th on the promotion's all-time list.
Stann (12-5, 6-4 UFC) had his chance late in the first round, when
he clobbered "The Ultimate Fighter" Season 3 winner with a searing
right hand. Bisping found himself on rubbery legs in a blink, but
he survived and escaped to new life in the second round. There,
Bisping took control with accurate, high-volume punching. He also
exploited Stann's most glaring deficiency -- takedown defense -- as
he grounded the American twice in each of the final two frames.
"I always try to push a fast pace," Bisping said. "I was never a
particularly gifted athlete. I just want this so bad, and I train
so hard. Ask any of my coaches. No one trains as hard as me.
Listen, I'm not the most talented person in the world, but I'm
hungry and I want it. That overpowers anything. My desire to be the
world champion is not going away. To the owners of the
organization: come on, hook a brother up."

Hamill (left) did enough to win.
Hamill did his best work in rounds one and three, as he took down
the Canadian repeatedly and racked up the points with punches. The
35-year-old Ohioan held fatigue at bay down the stretch, leaning
heavily on his wrestling chops and suffocating top game. Hollett
(13-4, 0-1 UFC) entered his promotional debut on a five-fight
winning streak and left it a defeated man.
Oliveira (16-3, 4-3 UFC) struck for a takedown inside the first
minute but failed to capitalize. Once he returned to his feet,
Swanson landed a crippling left hook to the body and, not long
after, delivered the fight-ending blow. Oliveira remained upright
for a brief moment before crumpling to the canvas in a bizarre
delayed reaction.
"He was tough. He threw me off for a little bit, and it took me a
minute to get my rhythm," Swanson said. "My coaches had a lot of
confidence in my power, and they told me that if I landed one big
punch, he was going down for sure. I dipped down to make him think
I was going to the body again, and then he dropped his guard. I
went up top and hit him with that one to the eye."

A young boy with a blood disorder has made his comic book debut thanks to help from his family, the power of social media and Marvel Comics.
Max Levy has haemophilia and needed a metal disk surgically inserted into his chest to allow easier treatments for his blood disorder.
Max's father Dan and his wife were unsure how to tell their son about the treatment but, given his love for the comic book hero Iron Man, they came up with a unique way to break the news.
Marvel makes young haemophiliac boy's dream come true. (Twitter/ Dan Levy)
"I said to him, 'Do you remember the scene where Tony Stark takes the port, takes the arch reactor out of his chest and puts the new one in? ... you're going to get one of those."
Max responded, "I get to be Iron Man."
That's when the brave parents decided to update friends and family about Max's progress using the hashtag #IronMax.
Meanwhile, Max's sister Zoe created calendars featuring pictures taken by herself and with the help of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia(CHOP), they raised $7,000.

Marvel's top writer Brian Michael Bendis heard about Max's story and helped make Iron Max the real deal.
They made him a character in an issue of The Invincible Iron Man comic, written by Bendis and drawn by Dave Marquez, which was released on Dec. 2, 2015.
"Since he's been a baby he's been told what he can't do and now it's sort of kind of neat to see what he can do and he can be anything — he can be a superhero," Mr Levy said to NBC News.
"This can help other kids with haemophilia and people with other diseases or just to raise awareness and money."

"No one thought 14 years ago that molecular biology would become such a significant research tool in museums. But we were able to make space for it here; we remodeled an area for a gene analysis lab that ranks with those at the National Institutes of Health and other medical centers. Over the years we have revamped the air-handling system and safety practices to accommodate today's sophisticated curatorial research."
Gazing from a balcony out over one of the enormous pods, a warehouse space big enough to hold Citizen Kane's collections, or, as Wilcox muttered, like the one in the final scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark, I could believe that the Old Testament ark might indeed lie somewhere in that forest of boxes.
As we walk back past the wet pod I ask about human remains. "Tell you a story. John Wesley Powell [the Grand Canyon explorer] started arguing with a fellow geologist about who had the bigger brain. So they made a bet. In their wills they requested that a surgeon — who was later a visiting scientist at the Smithsonian — measure their brains. Powell won but he never knew it. Oh yes, his is here. In one of those jars."

Google Adds Patents
News: Google is boosting its Patent Search engine by adding patents from four more sources, reports ZDNet. The company's Patent Search engine, which currently has more than 7mn US patents logged in its database, will now include copyright ownership records from Canada, China, Germany and the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO). Google hopes the move, which comes after it added millions of submitted patents to the European Patent Office in August 2012, will improve the quality of patents in the US and worldwide.

I'm fascinated by networks. The very means by which information and resources travel throughout the world is both surprising and powerful. Significant benefits exist for those who can place themselves at strategic "hubs" within complex network structures. Three stocks that are well positioned to benefit from their key locations within complex network structures are as follows:
Burlington Northern Sante Fe (BNI). As the economy continues to grow, railway companies will continue to benefit from their existing infrastructures and key locations within the complex network structure we know as the US railway system. I like BNI in particular because of its key access to strategic west coast ports. As products come into the US from China and other Eastern Asia countries, they are loaded up on BNI railways and delivered throughout the rest of the US. The recent move toward double stacked railcars makes the industry increasingly attractive versus competition from the trucking industry. Approximately, 17% of BNI's revenue comes from agricultural product transportation (corn, wheat, soybeans, ethanol). This is encouraging especially as the ethanol industry grows and because according to the USDA this year represents the single largest corn planting in the US since 1944. I'm encouraged by the 4.3 million share repurchase in Q1'07. BNI shareholders are in good company as both Warren Buffett and George Soros are large shareholders. From a valuation standpoint, BNI trades at a 14.65 forward P/E (in line with peers), and I believe the recent dip in share price over the last two weeks creates a very tempting time to buy.
BNI 1-yr chart
ValueClick (VCLK). I love the Internet Advertising industry. Apparently, so do Google and Microsoft as is evidenced by their recent acquisitions of DoubleClick and aQuantitative, respectively. Internet advertising companies are extremely powerful because of their ability to efficaciously direct advertisements throughout the complex network structure know as the Internet. As more businesses (small and large) continue to look toward the Internet to reach customers, proven Internet advertisers stand to make a lot of money. The entire industry grew 35% last year, and is expected to do the same in 2007. Shares of VCLK have dropped significantly over the last two weeks as the company has reiterated that it is not a buyout target and no sale of the company is imminent. In my opinion, this share price drop creates a very good opportunity to buy.
VCLK 1-yr chart
Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS). Goldman Sachs sits right in the center of one of the most complex network structures in the World. The global financial marketplace is huge, and GS has access to all of it (e.g. brokerage, IPO underwriting, financial derivatives, research, hedge funds, foreign investments, mergers and acquisitions). Further, GS people are first class. GS employs many of the smartest hardest working people in the industry. On top of all of these things, GS stock is still cheap. From a valuation standpoint, the company trades at a forward P/E (10.01) below most of the other major investment banks. GS gross (91%+) and operating (39%+) margins are some of the best in the business. GS announced earning last week, which were up and better than analyst estimates, and the stock price still fell $8 (mostly an over reaction to sub-prime mortgage woes). Even without the $8 drop, I'd still be a bull on Goldman Sachs because it sits right in the middle of a huge and complex network structure known as the capital markets.

Williams Says Fed Should Extend Bond Purchases Into 2013
Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President John Williams said the central bank should extend its program of bond purchases into next year by buying both mortgage-backed securities and Treasuries.
"We should continue the MBS purchases into next year and continue the Treasury purchases," Williams said to reporters today after a speech in Salt Lake City. "I haven't seen the kind of improvement in labor-market conditions that would call for ending the MBS purchases."
U.S. companies hired 171,000 workers in October, more than forecast by economists, after a 148,000 gain in September that was more than first estimated, the Labor Department said today. The jobless rate rose to 7.9 percent from 7.8 percent as more people entered the labor force.
The Federal Open Market Committee, aiming to spur growth and reduce unemployment, on Oct. 24 affirmed plans to buy $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities each month without specifying the total size or duration of the purchases. Williams, who holds a vote on policy this year, was among the first Fed officials to advocate open-ended bond buying.
The purchases will be warranted until there's evidence of "a sustained, significant improvement in the labor market," such as a pace of payrolls growth more than 200,000 jobs a month, Williams told reporters.
'Not Enough'
"If you talked about 200,000 or 190,000 or that kind of thing, that's not enough of an improvement," Williams said. "I would want to see a measurable decline in the unemployment rate and a significant, sustained, well above 200,000 jobs a month on payrolls, and coherence across lots of indicators. Not one that's strong, but all of them pointing in the same direction."
Improvement in the labor market failed to keep commodity and technology shares from slumping today.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index retreated 0.9 percent to close at 1,414.20 in New York, down 1.6 percent since Sept. 12, the day before the Fed announced the new bond-buying. The yield on the benchmark 10-year treasury was little changed at 1.72 percent after gaining as much as 0.05 percentage point.
Williams said in his speech today that the Fed's bond- buying will help spur U.S. economic growth to 2.5 percent next year and 3.5 percent in 2014 while not fueling inflation. The world's largest economy expanded at a 2 percent annual rate in the third quarter after climbing 1.3 percent in the prior quarter, the Commerce Department said last month.
'Desired Effects'
"Our policy measures are having the desired effects," Williams told community leaders. "We have substantial scope to use monetary policy to stimulate the economy without creating too much upward pressure on prices."
Concern that large-scale asset purchases "might ignite a bout of inflation" are unwarranted because price increases are being held in check by elevated unemployment and an economy that "isn't operating at full speed," Williams said.
Wage pressures are limited. Average hourly earnings climbed 1.6 percent in October the same time last year, the smallest gain since comparable over-year records began in 2007, today's Labor Department report showed. Earnings for production workers rose 1.1 percent in the 12 months to October, the weakest since records began in 1965.
The civilian labor force, those people who are either employed or actively looking for work, jumped by 578,000 in October. The number of people unemployed rose by 170,000, pushing the jobless rate higher.
The Fed bought $2.3 trillion in securities in its previous two rounds of bond-buying and has swapped its short-term Treasuries with longer-term securities in a program called Operation Twist.
