RIM to Miss Financial Targets Again, Weak PlayBook Sales to Blame

Much of RIM's future success hinges on its success (or failure) in the tablet market. The company's first foray into the burgeoning market, the PlayBook, has struggled to gain traction among consumers. In an attempt to increase sales, RIM has slashed the retail cost of the PlayBook by $300, at a total cost of $485 million (pre-tax) in Q3.
Discounting to drive tablet sales costs Canadian company $485 million
BlackBerry manufacturer Research In Motion (RIM) today announced that it would not hit its projected third-quarter revenue estimate of $5.3-$5.6 billion that the Canadian company forecasted at the end of Q2.
The company, headquartered in Waterloo, Ont., pointed to discounting of its already weak PlayBook tablet sales as one reason the company will miss its financial goals. RIM said it was also expecting to miss its projected full-year earnings per share (EPS) of $5.25-$6.
Still, the company says it will stand behind the PlayBook tablet, and that the tablet market is "still in its infancy."
"Although a number of factors have led to the need for an inventory provision in the third quarter, we believe the PlayBook, which will be further enhanced with the upcoming PlayBook OS 2.0 software, is a compelling tablet for consumers that also offers unique security and manageability features for the enterprise," RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis said in a press release.
Recently, RIM slashed the price of its PlayBook tablet by $300, bringing the total cost down to $200 (from $500) for the base 16GB model. In an attempt to drive sales, the intense tablet discounting cost the manufacturer a reported $485 million — $360 million after tax. "Early results from recent PlayBook promotions indicate a significant increase in demand across most channels," Lazaridis said.
The company says it will record a pre-tax provision of $485 million in Q3 to write down the value of unsold Playbook tablets, 150,000 units of which RIM says it sold to retail channels in the same time period.
RIM's troubles adjusting to a post-iPhone/Android mobile market are well documented. The company hasn't been helped any by the widespread,
media attention-grabbing outages
or weak sales of the
initially overpriced and not-quite-ready-for-its-closeup PlayBook tablet
reports of unmet quarterly financial goals
are becoming a bit of a theme — or recurring nightmare — for RIM. The company is forecasting an even weaker Q4 compared to Q3, "due to several factors including lower than expected sell-through in the third quarter and RIM's current view of fourth quarter demand."

Jun 16, 2011, 13:00 ET from Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board
WASHINGTON, June 16, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Recovery Board Chairman Earl E. Devaney says a new feature being launched today on Recovery.gov will allow users to create and customize charts and graphs that will make it easier to follow stimulus funds of most interest to them.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100702/RECOVERYLOGO)
Smartronix, Inc., the prime contractor on Recovery.gov, worked with the Recovery Board to develop the visualization feature, which is called Recovery Explorer.
Devaney said that users of Recovery.gov will be able to build their own charts and graphs for spending and jobs at the state, congressional, county and city levels. There are 15 categories that can be displayed including "Funds Awarded," "Funds Received," "Number of Jobs,'' "Number of Awards," "Fiscal Quarter and Year,'' and "Awarding Agency.''
"This remarkable new feature allows you to chart data submitted by recipients of Recovery funds in ways that are most important to you,'' Devaney said. "Recovery Explorer is easy to navigate. If you want to change what is being displayed on a graph or chart, all you have to do is change the category and a new graph or chart with the information you want will be displayed.''
Recovery Explorer is expected to be available within the next month as free iPhone and iPad apps that can be downloaded at the Apple iTunes App Store.
The new feature is the latest enhancement made available by the Board so that users can get easier access to information on contracts, grants and loans awarded under the $787 billion Recovery program.

Laura Geller Sugar Free Blush-N-Brighten
Laura Geller Sugar Free Blush-N-Brighten Reviews
BLUSHING BEAUTY!A great blush becomes even more important to me during the summer months. I need a color which looks especially natural, as daylight can be harsh and unforgiving and I spend more hours in the sun. Because I don't tan and don't use a self-tanner or bronzer often, I want more color than usual at the same time. Laura Geller's baked "Sugar Free Blush and Brighten" does exactly what I need, surprisi...read morengly all without any shimmer. It is available in two shades, "Boysenberry" (pink/rose) and "Raspberry" (berry/mauve). Laura Geller is a genius when it comes to marbeling traditional blush shades with lines of gold and slivers of copper. This leaves me glowing beautifully, but never artificially. Yes, paying $31.00 is a lot for blush, but a blush of this quality is relatively hard to find. — 4 years, 2 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

Brush and BrightenThis came in a set and I was blown away at the pigmentation and clarity of application. I had not heard of this line before, but I saw it in Ulta and sampled various items. I bought a $60.00 kit that has full size products: foundation, this blush, eye shadow, primer and 2 brushes. I can't get over the quality of this line. Glad I discovered it! — 5 years, 11 months agoCaroleVonAllten | 1401 reviews

Sugar FreeI love Laura Geller's Sugar Free Blush-N-Brightens because they have no shimmer at all. The matte pigments are gorgeous and if you want a blush that has no shimmer, this is the blush you need. Laura uses multiple pigments in the same color family to achieve a multi-dimensional look. Laura's blushes stay put and look beautiful on all skin tones! — 5 years, 5 months agopowerwoman033 | 509 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Cisco ( CSCO) has unveiled more details of the "Internet of Everything", demonstrating how it can generate additional revenue over the next decade by having many more devices connected to the grid. The networking giant noted there's the potential for companies to generate as much as $14.4 trillion in revenue over the next decade (2013-2022), as more devices become connected to the grid. Companies are expected to generate at least $631 billion in profits this year (there's an additional $544 billion in value that's left on the table for 2013), so the far majority of the opportunity lies in the years ahead. Some 21 different use cases make up that $14.4 trillion, including asset utilization ($2.5 trillion), employee productivity ($2.5 trillion), supply chain/logistics efficiency ($2.7 trillion), improved customer experience ($3.7 trillion), and innovation ($3 trillion). Here's the entire 16 slide presentation, showcasing where Cisco sees opportunity for itself, as well as the technology sector as a whole. Email. Follow @Chris_Ciaccia

Staten Island Pediatrician Responds To Study Linking Academic Performance With Physical Fitness
BOHEMIA, N.Y., June 27, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Dr. Michael Gabriel of GPM Pediatrics, a Staten Island Pediatric Center, responds to an article, "Improving academic performance with physical fitness" published by Medical News Today. The article discusses a recent study scheduled for publication in The Journal of Pediatrics, which found a link between physical fitness and academic performance.
Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140621/119804
The article states, "Cardiorespiratory capacity, muscular strength, and motor ability are components of physical fitness that have documented potential to improve health, each of which may have different effects on the brain and, therefore, academic performance." The study looked at 2,038 children and adolescents between the ages of 6-18 with "complete data on physical fitness, body composition, and academic performance."
The study found, "Cardiorespiratory capacity and motor ability, both independently and combined, were related to academic performance. However, the association of academic performance and physical fitness was stronger for motor ability than cardiorespiratory capacity, meaning that motor ability may be more important for academic performance. In contrast, children and adolescents who had both lower levels of cardiorespiratory capacity and motor ability had lower grades."
Dr. Michael Gabriel, a Staten Island pediatrician, thinks that this study has great implications for future research. "It is well known that physical fitness has an effect on mental health and physical health but this research suggests that there can also be a link between academic performance and that is very interesting for the medical community." Dr. Gabriel asks parents to encourage their children to be active for at least an hour a day. "Whether or not future studies agree with this finding, keeping your child active is extremely important for their overall wellbeing. The summer is a great time to come up with fun games to get your child outside playing instead of sitting sedentary front of a television screen. Kids need to keep both their body and brain stimulated over the summer and physical activity is a great way to do so."

Our board certified pediatricians and experienced staff help provide a very warm and nurturing environment for both you and your children.

Have you been watching Chris Hardwick 's @midnight on the Comedy Network for the last month? No? You just turn off the TV after Colbert ? Well, you've been missing out on some brilliant, biting comedy. Fortunately there is so much more to come.
The show, which originates on Comedy Central in the U.S., has just been picked up for a 40-week order.
So what's the show about? It's a fake game show featuring Chris Hardwick - who you might know as the host of The Talking Dead and the Nerdist ringmaster - as the host and three guest comedians as the contestants. All the material used the various games come from the deepest, darkest, most absurd recesses of the internet. Games include Hashtag War, Rapid Refresh, Cringe-Worthy and Photobomb: Creepy or Cute. The jokes are funny and dirty and smart and quick and I don't think I can adequately express how much I love this show. Unfortunately, because Comedy Central geo-blocks and The Comedy Network is total kill-joy, I can't post any video examples.
Deadlin e explains the numbery things, which in turn explains why the fortuitous pick-up happened: "The renewal is not surprising given how strong the show has done in Comedy Central's target young and male demos. In Men 18-34 (237,000 through 11/10), Men 18-24 (106,000) and persons 18-24 (142,000), @midnight is the third-highest-ranked late-night show in all of television — cable or broadcast — behind only Comedy Central's The Daily Show and The Colbert Report . In adults 18-34, it is No. 3 among all cable late-night programs (323,000), and it ranks fourth in adults 18-49 with 453,000. Among total viewers, @midnight averages 624,000 and handily tops fellow midnight cable newcomer, TBS' The Pete Holmes Show , in every ratings category. Not surprisingly, given @midnight's social media focus, it is the most popular late-night show (broadcast or cable) on Twitter by a mile."
What they said.
Sadly, last night's show was the last in the trial run and we now have to wait until Jan. 6 for the return. Fortunately this gives anyone who hasn't yet watched a chance to catch up the episodes on The Comedy Network 's site.
And because I can't post any video from my new favourite show here, instead, is the Nerdist crew bowling against Jimmy Fallon's crew. #randomyetdelicious.

Kanaan still soaking in first Indianapolis 500 victory
FORT WORTH, Texas – Rarely has anyone looked as happy without sleep as Tony Kanaan did Tuesday in Fort Worth.
Of course it helps that Kanaan is just two days removed from his first-ever victory at the Indianapolis 500, making it easy for Kanaan to get by on fumes in the whirlwind that followed his victory at the famed Brickyard.
He had no complaints Tuesday when he met with Texas Motor Speedway season-ticket holders at a Forth Worth restaurant.
"It was a very special win not just (because) it was because something I was always looking for," said Kanaan, who had led 221 laps at Indy but never won before Sunday's win in the No. 11 Hydroxycut Chevrolet. "And not just because it was the 500. The fans over the last few years have been supportive of me. It was just an amazing day."
The support for the Brazilian never wavered despite several close calls at Indy that included five top-five finishes and a second-place finish in 2004, which was also the year he won his lone IndyCar Series championship.
Whether it was because he got to hold a lucky gold medal from former driver Alex Zanardi, raced with a necklace he gave a sick girl nine years ago or because his KV Racing Technology team finally put it all together, it was Kanaan who won under caution Sunday.
It marked the first time the Jimmy Vasser co-owned team had been to Victory Lane in the series, although Kanaan had a hard time believing it was actually happening even as the race finished under caution.
"A lot of things came through my mind," he said. "First of all I started to freak out. I started to see my wheels falling off, running out of fuel. Knowing myself and the history of my career, this can't be true. Nothing comes easy. This can't be true. I'm going to run into the pace car. A bird's going to crap on my helmet or something. When I got that out of the way, I couldn't see straight because I started to cry."
That led to the most surreal moment for Kanaan since the win.
"The victory lap when all the fans were still in the stands waiting for me to go by and wave at them," Kanaan said. "That was an extremely special (moment) for me."
Kanaan's victory was followed by a busy couple of days. Following his stop in Fort Worth, Kanaan headed to New York to be a guest on the "Late Show with David Letterman." He didn't sleep Monday night because he was too busy celebrating and he didn't want to miss anything.
The distractions that go along with winning at Indy are well worth it.
"I think I've seen more microphones and cameras than anything else in my life," Kanaan said. "That's a good problem to have. The little moments I had to rest I spoke to friends, caught up on emails and have been on social media interacting with my fans. It is a good problem to have but it's been extremely busy."
The fun for Kanaan ends after the trip to New York. While the victory was nice, he's still seventh in the championship point standings. He's had success in Detroit, where the series is this weekend, and TMS. The series comes to Fort Worth for the June 8 Firestone 550.
Kanaan hopes the Indy win and racing at tracks he likes can point him toward his second title.
"After tomorrow when we're done with the media obligations it's going to be race mode again," he said. "The 500 – I'm going to have to turn the page and move forward. We still have a lot of races to go."

23 days of good CRAC: Arcadia Cruise Review by prestonman001
Overall Member Rating
23 days of good CRAC
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Southampton
Arrived at the terminal at 13:15, sadly it took until 14:40 to board. This fortunately was the only major negative point over the entire 3 weeks. The bottleneck was the security check - way way over the top, indeed worse that most major UK airports. Only 2 security scanners available - P&O and British Ports need to sort this one out - 2nd successive time this has happened - Indeed the check in desks we empty on at least 3 occassions whilst we queued in order to redeuce the queue size waiting to board.
OK onto the actual cruise - Arcadia - 2nd time on board, and a much better experience than the previous trip. Crew very attentive and friendly. Ambience overall good, public rooms good, but do reflect in places the ships age - i.e. Carpets - this years refit should take care of that.
Cabin was excellent - Although sold More as a restrictive view, we had an uninterupted view from 50% of the cabin wide floor to ceiling window.
Food - Overall 8 out of ten. Main returant was good, Buffet was fine. The two pay venues Orchid - and Marco Pierre Whites - excellent.
Entertainment - Bearing in mind 23 nights - good, mind you one of the comedians was well past his sell by date, and the Batchelors (1 original) was not my cup of tea.
My only niggle is that Arcadia is not a late night ship. I like a late drink, and after 24:00, only the main bar tended to have people - and very few at that.
Arcadia will I use her again - not until I am into my 70's, the age group is a little old for me. If what I came across as average the I will also stay clear of Oriana. Overall good value for money, and 3 weeks resting on a fone ship. Less

Keeping Up With The Kourts
Sorry for the wonkey spelling in the headline but I thought it would be cute since we are talking about every body's favorite pay per sighting family the Kardhashians. You remember that little credit card scam they tried to pull, they decided was not in the best interest of their fans? Well it looks like the fantastic plastic girls might be hiring dear ol Daddy's friends to help get their shapely back ends out of a situation. Wait, situation that's the skanks from the other coast, sorry.

J'EDEIW.LRIllPORTER,vol. 71. there is an exceedingly strong case made out of abuse or palpable mistake in the exercise of its discretion. It was considerably more , liberal :to the salvor than the decrees in two recent cases in the English courts presenting a striking similarity to this in all the elements which constitute the basis of an award. The Ulysses, London Shipp. Gaz. Lloyd's List, July 19, 1895; The Julio, ld., March 22,1895. The decree is affirmed, but without costs.
not to change the decree of the court below in salvage.causes unless
THE AGA'l'HE. MARTIN v. THE AGATHE.
(DIstrict Court, S. D. Alabama. January 10, 1895.)
No. 685.
VOLUNTARY PAYMFJNTS-c-SUIPPING-GENERAL AVERAGE CLAIM.
Money paid by the consignees of the cargo to the master upon a wrongfUl claim for general average, and, reimbursed to the consignees by theconsignor, cannot be recovered by the latter from the ship, If the payment by the consignees was voluntary. But it may be recovered if the paym.ent ,was made for the· purpose of getting possession of the cargo.
This was a libel by William H. Martin against the bark Agathe to recover money alleged to have been illegally exacted from libelant's consignees upon a wrongful claim for general average, and for which he had reimbursed them. . , 'J L. & H. T. SmIth, lor claimant. PiUans,Torrey & Hanaw, for' libelant. TOULMIN, ,District Judge. It appears from the libel that it is filed to ,recover damages for breach of contract; the contract being a charter parity and bill ,4;lflading thereunder, made by the owners and master of the vessel, in which contract it was stipulated and agreed tlIat vessel was to transport ,and deliver the cargo provided for to the consignees, at Dundee, Scotland, on paYlilent of freight. , The :breach alleged is that the master of. the vessel failed to faithfully perform his part of the said contract, in that he wrongfullY extorted from ,a large sum of money upon a Claim of geIiefal average;' It is al1eged'that the cargo was sold to the consignees at Dundee, and that the burden of paying all costs '(uid chargeg its carriage and delivery rested upon the libelant, ,r ahd' that tbe'master of 'the' vessel was' informed Of' this before he ::gailed froon'the' port of Mobile,"-the port of loading., It is furtheral· Iegedtl1atthe"Claim of general average was unjust and wrongful, an-dthe'circulns'tiu1cestinder which' said claim'arose are shown, to have been unjustandw'rongful.It also appearsfromtae libelthat' at the time the' cargo was delivered to the
constgnees a general average bond was demanded of them, and they were req nested to pay a sum of money as 4.. w upon said general average claim. It appears that said sum of money was paid on January 29, 1894; but it does not appear whether it was paid ,at the time of the delivery of the cargo, or was subsequently paid, it not appearing from any specific allegation the libel whether the general average bond was or was not given. It is alleged that the payment of the money was not voluntary, and was made by the consignees only as the price of receiving the cargo from the vessel. The libel further alleges that the libelant was required by the consignees to pay to them, and that he did pay to them, the sum of money paid by them to the vessel in order to obtain the cargo from it, and this sum the libelant claims is the damage he has sustained in the premises. This, as I understand it, is the substance of the case made by the libel. It seems to have been filed on the theory that the libelant's contract was that the vessel was to deliver the cargo to the consignees on the paywent of the freight, and that the vessel refused to deliver the cargo on the payment of the freight alone as it contracted to do, but claimed, demanded, and received a certain sum of money as a further consideration or price for the delivery of the cargo. The case, however, was argued as if the suit was for money had and received by the master of the vessel for the use of the libelant. The contention of the libelant was that the money sued for was wrongfully exacted from him, and was paid under compulsion to the ship, and that, in equity and good conscience, he was entitled to receive it back. The contention on the other side was that the money was paid to the ship voluntarily by Fleming and Barry, who were the consignees of the cargo, and who were the libelant's agents for the purpose of paying all charges and freight on the cargo, and that the libelant ratified and confirmed such payment by. voluntariIyrepaying or reimbursing Fleming and Barry the amount so pdd by them. I do not know which, on the facts of the case, is the correct theory, but my opinion is that, on either theory, if the payment by Fleming and Barry was voluntary, the libelant cannot reCOller. But I am not informed as to the facts of the case further than they appear from the allegations of the litel, and I am unable to say from them that the payment was voluntary. The libel is somewhat ambiguous in its averments of facts, but it does aver that the payment was not voluntary, and that it was made under C0m· pulsion.to enable the consignees to obtain possession of the caJ'go. Whether the ,payment was made at the time of the delivery of the cargo, or was ,.subsequently made under a general average bond given on the delivery of the cargo, does not clearly appear. But. as I have said, it is alleged that the payment was made under compulsion, to enable Fleming and Barry to obtain possession of the cargo.; exceptions admitthe allegations. of the libel to be true for the purpose of this heal'iq.g, and,. as l these allegations, l t,he exceptions' beoyerruled; and. it is so ordered. v.71F.noA-34
vol. 71.
(May. 27. 1895.)
If a party has in his possession goods or other property belonging to another, and refuses to deliver such property to that other, unless the latter pays him a sum of money which he has no right to receive, and the latter, in order to obtain possession of his property, pays the sum, the money so paid is a payment by compulsion. Lonergan v. Buford,148 U. S.591, 13 Sup. Ct. 684. But a payment is not to be regarded as compulsory, unless made to emancipate the person or property from an actual and existing duress imposed upon it by the party to whom the money is paid. 148 U. S. 590, 13 Sup. Ct. 684. The ship delivered the cargo to the consignees in good order, free. from any lien or incumbrance. She asserted a claim against the cargo for a proportionate amount of salvage or loss which she had incurred when in distress by stranding,-a claim of general average; but it does not appear from the evidence that she sought to compel payment of this claim by any duress of property. To any action on such claim, whether backed by a general average })(;Ind or not, negUgencecausing the stranding would be a full defense. There is nothing to show any concealment or misrepresentation on the part of the ship, or that the libelant did not have full knowledge of all the facts attending the stranding. Having paid the ship's claim for contribution voluntarily, with the facts before him, he cannot now insist that the ship shall repay it to him upon the theory set up. Phipps v. The Nicanor, 44 Fed. 504. The rule is well settled that the payment of a money demand made voluntarily, and with knowledge of the facts, and not in consequence of any fraud, misrepresentation, or mistake, nor under any duress or apprehension of· person or property, is binding, and cannot be recovered back. A known defense in such cases must be made before payment. The Nicanor, supra; Radich v. Hutchins, 95 U. S. 213. If, at the time of the payment by Fleming and Barry, the cargo owners (whether libelant or Fleming and Barry) were under no legal liability to pay any salvage contribution, because the stranding arose fronl the negligence of the ship, then there was no legal damage, and the payment would be voluntary in the legal sense, and cannot be recovered back. The ship had a lien upon the cargo for such contributory share as, under the facts of the case, the cargo owners might be bound to pay; and, if the ship had required payment of such share before delivery of the cargo, the owners could have recovered back the sum paid, in order to have obtained their goods, upon proof that the stranding was from negligence. But there is no such detention of the cargo proved. It was delivered upon the execution of the usual average bond. Any possible lien upon the cargo was thereby discharged, and thereafter the only existing claim agaihst the cargo owners was a money demand, according to the terms of the bond, for such sum, when adjusted, as might be shown to be a charge upon the cargo. If, as the libelant alleges, the stranding was caused by negligence, then no charge upon the cargo existed in favor of the ship for any salvage, or for contribution towards the -.alvage award that she had paid. Such negli-
TEXAS &: P. BY. CO. tl. THOMPSON.
gence would have been a perfect defense to any action which the master or owners of the ship might have brought either against the goods in rem before delivery or against the owners in personam upon the average bond. The bond stands as a substitute for the cargo. It does not commit the cargo owners to the payment of the sum adjusted, whether justly owing or not. It is not to be construed as a submission to arbitration before the adjuster. It does not preclude the cargo owners from any legal defenses against the payment of salvage apportionment, wholly or in part. It was perfectly competent for them to show that, by reason of the ship's negligence, neither the ship's owner nor her agents could recover anything on the bond. As the facts constituting the alleged defense were known at the time of the payment by Fleming and Barry to the ship, and by the libelant to Fleming and Barry, the libelant was bound to avail himself of this defense at the time; and, having paid without any duress or constraint, the payment was voluntary, and the libelant is, in my opinion, barred· from a recovery back. The Nicanor, 40 Fed. 366. The libel must therefore be dismissed; and it is so ordered.
TEXAS & P. CO. v. THOMPSON.
SAME v. DIETZ. (Circuit Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit. December 30, 1895.) Nos. 399, 400.
MASTER AND SERvANT-8AFIll MAOHINERy-ACT OJ' FELLOW SERVANT.
The theory of the defense, in a suit for personal injuries resulting from the explosion of the boller of a locomotive at rest, that the explosion was caused by the sudden generation of steam consequent upon the letting in of cold water upon a heated surface by plaintilf's fellow servant, should be recognized in the charge to the jury,-where there is evidence that such fellow servant had opened the fires to raise the steam pressure; that he ran the engine down the track, banked her fires, and left her, but 15 minutes before the explosionj that the safety valve and other parts of the engine were in good order; that she had been regularly and duly inspected; that the steam pressure, before the explosion, was low; and that the engine, the day before, had made a run of 179 miles over steep grades, with a heavy train, under full pressure. Per Speer, District JUdge, dissenting.
It was error to refuse a charge that the verdict should be for the defendant if the jury should find that the defendant used ordinary care in the selection of an engine, and in the selection of competent persons to inspect and manage it,-where there was evidence that the engine was one of the best makes; was but little over two years old; had been thoroughly tested but a month before the accident; and that, in the year preceding the explosion, she had been in the shop for three or four weeks, and was thoroughly overhauled. Per Speer, District Judge, dissenting.
This requested charge is not SUfficiently covered by an instruction that the defendant is bound to use ordinary care in the selection of safe machinery and appliances for use by its employlis. Per Speer, District Judge, dissenting.
These were actions brought against the Texas & Pacific Rail· way Company by R. J. Thompson and S. M. Dietz, respect1vely, to

Patna, Sep 28 (IANS) A day after Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi opposed an ordinance against disqualification of convicted lawmakers, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar Saturday urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to take back the ordinance.
"It is not a question of prestige. The Congress-led UPA government should take back the ordinance immediately. If the PM withdraws the ordinance, it will enhance his prestige," Nitish Kumar told reporters here.
"Let the government put the issue in parliament for discussion," Nitish Kumar said, adding that Gandhi was right.
The opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and others demanded the resignation of the prime minister after Rahul Gandhi said the government's decision to pass the ordinance was "wrong".
"There was no need to bring an ordinance from the backdoor to protect convicted lawmakers from immediate disqualification," he said.

Virender Sehwag put England on the back foot with a destructive century on day one of the first Test at the Sardar Patel Stadium.
Sehwag (117) dominated a century opening stand with Gautam Gambhir, and was then joined by Cheteshwar Pujara (68no) for another partnership of 90 in India's teatime 250 for three.
Even with Graeme Swann already responsible for all those wickets, and therefore up to 195 and two past the great Jim Laker as the most successful off-spinner in England's history, there was little cheer for the tourists after losing the toss on a pitch likely to increasingly favour spin.
The first hour gave England precious little encouragement; the second surely a chastening sense already of their undertaking as new captain Alastair Cook tries to lead his country to a first series win in India since the winter he was born.
The India openers were quickly in cruise control, before Sehwag upped the ante - and by the first ball of the 20th over, thanks mainly to Sehwag, the total was in three figures. Sehwag dispatched Tim Bresnan, on for James Anderson after eight overs, for 4-4-6 in successive balls, forcing Cook into more changes.
Early afternoon brought three let-offs for India, two of them costly. Matt Prior dropped Sehwag on 80, down the leg-side off Anderson, and in the next over missed a stumping chance when Gambhir over-balanced against Swann. The left-handed opener did not add to his score before Swann (3 for 60) got one to skid on and bowl him on the back foot to end a stand of 134.
But Sehwag soon reached three figures, with a 15th four lofted over mid-on off Swann to go with his six, his first hundred for almost exactly two years - against New Zealand on this same ground.
Pujara was not dropped but nonetheless had fortune, and an England slip, on his side on eight when Anderson over-committed himself at mid-on and could not then reach a leading edge off Bresnan. The number three soon had a look of risk-free permanence, on his way to a 67-ball half-century.
By the time Sehwag missed a sweep at Swann, and was bowled, England had five men on the boundary to the India opener.
His departure brought Sachin Tendulkar to the crease, to the obligatory delight of the crowd. But the veteran master batsman did not last long, holing out in the leg-side deep off Swann, and it was Pujara who was beginning to threaten England most.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/7/2014 (1119 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
FINALLY, there is something other than roads and potholes as an election issue -- but the resolution could be just as elusive.
Mayoral candidate Gord Steeves says he'll convince the province to reduce the buffer zones for mosquito fogging to 40 metres from the current 90 metres.
He's also wants city-wide aerial spraying every few years to combat mosquitoes that carry West Nile virus.
"We're not living up to the expectations of our citizens on mosquito control," Steeves, a lawyer and former city councillor, said while speaking from a backyard on Dudley Avenue in Fort Rouge Tuesday. "We're causing all sorts of problems in our community."
Not only would Steeves work to reduce the size of the buffer zones, he would also ensure residents could only register for buffer zones based on medical reasons -- not simply as a preference.
"For the benefit of the greater good, choices must be made," Steeves said. "The will of the larger majority should carry the day."
It's a sensitive topic that draws strong support and vocal opposition.
The buffer zones are mandated by the provincial permit the city has to apply malathion mist from the back of trucks to kill adult nuisance mosquitoes.
The zones prohibit the malathion mist from being applied 90 metres on either side of the registered property.
Some observers said Steeves' announcement is simply a cynical move to attract votes, knowing it's not a promise he can keep.
Steeves made this an issue in 2010 but only the province can reduce the buffer zone and it would only agree to reduce the buffer zone to 90 metres from 100 metres.
Taz Stuart, the former City of Winnipeg entomologist, said there are physical reasons why the buffer zone can't be reduced -- malathion mist drifts for 90 metres when applied from the back of a moving truck. "People have the right not to be subject to the chemical simply for a nuisance program," Stuart said.
The health concerns of malathion are also up for debate, at least among supporters of buffer zones. Health Canada says malathion is safe for humans when applied properly by professionals but many people refuse to accept that position.
"It is a divisive issue and some residents would love it and others would hate it," said Coun. Jenny Gerbasi. "I disagree with the medical note idea -- some people who are concerned about overexposure to pesticides don't have a specific medical issue other than not wishing to have themselves or their families exposed to more chemicals."
One of the other mayoral candidates, Brian Bowman, said he used to register for the buffer zone because he didn't want to be exposed to it -- but that changed six years ago with the birth of his first child.
"We wanted to be able to go outside and enjoy the yard," Bowman said, adding he's open to the idea of reducing the buffer zone but realizes only the province can make that change.
Steeves said Winnipeg summers are too short for the enjoyment to be ruined by individuals without valid reasons to be protected from spraying with buffer zones, which he said now stretch the length of a football field on either side of a property.
"I do not believe buffer zones should be allowed for political reasons, only for medical reasons," he said.
Steeves said he'll need the province's support to reduce the size of the buffer zones, adding Broadway should allow city hall to determine the size of the buffer zones.
Steeves also wants to introduce city-wide aerial spraying -- without buffer zones -- to combat West Nile virus-carrying culex mosquitoes, and for other public health concerns. He said aerial spraying would only occur every four to six years when conditions warrant it.
Stuart said Grand Forks, N.D., does aerial malathion spraying but that community is much smaller than Winnipeg, adding accuracy is an issue for aerial spraying and accuracy is important in a public health situation.
"When it comes to aerial spraying, you could just as well end up spraying 13 acres in East St. Paul rather than over the city of Winnipeg, where you want it to be," Stuart said.
Is Gord Steeves and his mosquito spraying pitch out of step with the times or smart populist politics? Join the conversation in the comments below.

Welcome to THT Fantasy's Roster Doctor. If you'd like your team to be analyzed by one of our fantasy baseball experts, please send your full roster to this address. Also be sure to include your league's player pool (mixed, AL-only, NL-only), number of teams, scoring format (roto, head-to-head, points, etc.), categories, whether or not it's a keeper league, and any other pertinent information. If your roster is selected it will be analyzed in a future Roster Doctor column.
Time was a little short for me this week so I did not have time to finish part two of the strikeout debate article, so instead you are treated to an extra Roster Doctor today! I decided to go traditional…
Player Pool: Mixed
No. of Teams: 12
Categories: Traditional 5×5
Scoring Type: Head-to-Head
Other notes: Nine keepers per year
C – Mike Napoli
1B – Lance Berkman
2B – Chase Utley
3B – Alex Rodriguez
SS – Jose Reyes
OF – Alfonso Soriano
OF – Bobby Abreu
OF – Johnny Damon
Util – Joey Votto
BN – Kurt Suzuki
BN – Mark Reynolds
BN – Juan Pierre
BN – Daniel Murphy
BN – Andrew McCutcheon
SP – Zack Greinke
SP – Rich Harden
SP – James Shields
SP – Ervin Santana
RP – Heath Bell
RP – Huston Street
BN – Derek Lowe
BN – Ted Lilly
BN – Gil Meche
BN – Kris Medlen
BN – Fernando Rodney
As usual, I will start with the hitting; the impressive hitting, I should say. Your lineup is stacked from top to bottom and even has solid depth. Napoli and Suzuki are two good young catchers, one with obscene power and the other with good all-around skills. Your infielders sound like a list of MVP candidates and all are performing decently well as of late. Berkman, who was the lone concern, has really picked it up in the last week as he should have been expected to. No reason to panic there.
Although on the older side, all three of your outfielders are playing great so far this season. Damon in particular, is playing exceptionally well and I would look to sell him high right now. Looking from the perspective of a keeper league, his value might never be higher than it is now for the rest of his career. As someone living in the New York area who gets to see him everyday, it is only a matter of time until pitchers stop lobbing him that down and inside pitch he loves to turn on. See what you can get for him.
Votto is a monster of a hitter, but I am concerned about him right now. As an A's fan, I know a thing about fluky injuries, and the repeated dizziness he has been experiencing lately is hopefully the result of just a minor illness. Most likely that will be the case and he will be back in the lineup before we know it, but for the next couple of days bench him.
You mention your offense has struggled the past few weeks; I see little area for upgrade so I would stick with the guys you got for now. Any struggles are the result of random fluctuations due to the small sample size of one week.
Looking at your pitching, it appears to be fairly good, but I do not see it as being as dominant as you describe. For as many pitchers that have been good for you this year (Greinke, Lowe, Lilly, Broxton) I can name as many that have done poorly (Harden, Shields, Santana, Meche). Shields I find particularly concerning because of his uncharacteristically low K rate and high walk rate.
In my opinion, it is your pitching that you should be focusing on improving—more than your lineup—and I would look to acquire an ace type of pitcher. You have solid depth, your rotation goes more than five pitchers deep, but you lack a second sure thing besides Greinke. It would be beneficial to sacrifice a little of your depth in exchange for one more ace-type of pitcher. And if it is too hard to get an ace, you could always target a buy low like Lester or maybe even Verlander.
Medlen is a nice pickup, and although I might not start him right away, the stats he put up in Triple-A this year are too impressive to ignore. He could turn out to be an asset down the road.
Stay active like you have, rework your rotation a little, and I think your team should stay in contention for a championship this year.

SPICEWOOD — Car No. 1, "Come and Take It," revved its engine, plowing over the moist dirt. Seven smashed cars growled as loud as a rock concert, emitting a thick tang of gasoline and engine fumes. Then a 15-foot high fire erupted almost spontaneously out of the black sedan's hood.
The Spicewood Volunteer Fire Department had been waiting just outside the demolition derby field, ready to pounce on dangerous situations like this. After all, they were the ones hosting the event.
The battle scars and shells of wrecked cars from the 21st annual Destruction Derby earlier this month are a reminder that volunteer fire departments don't pay for themselves.
The derby, a popular tradition among local daredevils who build and wreck the glorious clunkers, is also the Spicewood Volunteer Fire Department's largest fundraiser, netting about $20,000 a year toward its $150,000 budget.
Grants from Burnet County and other agencies, as well as smaller fundraisers like a barbecue and firearm raffle, help cover the rest, the Austin American-Statesman reported.
Volunteer fire departments, part of the proud tradition of self-reliance in small towns across the state, typically count on community fundraisers to pay for their lifesaving gear and training.
But more and more, that's not enough. A growing number of volunteer fire departments have been holding elections to create taxing districts for a larger, more consistent source of money.
Taxing district
In Burnet County, for instance, 10 of the 13 fire departments are all-volunteer. Seven of them created voter-approved taxing districts within the past five years.
Spicewood may join them: It will ask voters in November to approve an Emergency Services District to help fund the 32-person department, which would remain all-volunteer.
"Communities are voting (taxing districts) in and recognizing that you can't provide valuable fire protection and emergency medical services with barbecues and bake sales — or demolition derbies," said Cliff Avery, the executive director of the Texas State Association of Fire and Emergency Districts, which lobbies the state on behalf of such departments.
The state's roughly 310 Emergency Services Districts have all been created since the law allowing them was passed in 1987, but a growing number were created in recent years. In almost every general election there are several ballots items to create such a district somewhere in the state, Avery said, and volunteer departments are trending in that direction.
Serves 5,000 residents
The Spicewood Volunteer Fire Department serves about 5,000 residents in a 50-square-mile area.
If voters approve, the taxing district could charge up to 10 cents per $100 of assessed value, though officials plan to charge about half that amount.
That would make for a $90 to $180 fire tax bill on a $180,000 Spicewood home.Those dollars would add up to about $125,000 a year for the fire department, mostly to maintain current equipment and response levels.
A variety of factors brought Spicewood to this point, said EMS director Patsy Lester, 72, who has been a volunteer for the department since it was founded in 1976.
The prolonged drought hurt the wallets of many residents whose incomes depend on tourism at nearby Lake Travis, leading to a drop in donations, she said.
The younger generation works more and has less time to help with fundraisers. And the newer vehicles have more sophisticated technology, which means firefighters can't do routine maintenance or repairs on their own.
Still, there remains a question of whether collecting property taxes to fund a service that has long been provided by giving hands takes away any of the community feel.
"I don't think it'll change any. People around here in Spicewood are very community-oriented people," Lester said.

New mom Jenna Jameson took to her MySpace blog today to give fans an update on life with 1-month-old twins Jesse Jameson and Journey Jette.
Jenna writes that she delivered the "gorgeous boys" at 33 weeks, after 2 months of bed rest and credits her "easy" childbirth to many, many sit-ups:
"I was blessed with a very easy labor, it lasted about 2 hours. When it came to pushing them out, I truly believe the 500 sit ups a day paid off. I was able to push my 5 pound Jesse out in 5 pushes. Journey who was 4lb 11oz was out in 3 pushes."
Though the twins are just a month old, it sounds as though Jenna and her boyfriend Tito Ortiz are planning to add to their family one day.
"I loved the whole process of being pregnant and I hope to have another baby someday," she says. "But in the meantime, I'm having a blast with my two little monsters! By the way, Jesse looks like me and Journey looks like Tito! I feel like the luckiest girl ever!!!!!!"

(This is the sixth of a series of article on the situation of the Jews in Europe today by Eugene Lyons, noted foreign correspondent now studying conditions in Europe for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. In the following article, Mr. Lyons describes anti-Semitism in the Soviet Republic and the government measures to suppress it. The final article in this series will appear in the week-end edition of the Jewish Daily Bulletin.)
The official instructions for the nationwide "chistka" or purging of the Communist Party membership, recently completed, listed anti-Semitism among the major ideological lapses, punishable by instant expulsion from the ranks. Thousands of Communists, indeed, were throw out of the ruling Party for this reason.
There is no doubt that anti-Semitic sentiments persist among Communists. The very fact that measures to combat it in the ranks are found necessary is an open admission that the condition is neither negligible nor neglected. A party with millions of members drawn from the marrow of the population, inevitably reflects moods and prejudices of that population.
And anti-Semitism, despite earnest and in large measure effective official efforts to stamp it out, is still widespread in Russia. Planted and nurtured lovingly for centuries by State and church, schools and press, it is too deeply rooted to be eradicated in a single generation.
The inclination to blame the Jews for whatever evil befalls them was second nature to wide sectors of the Russian people, and it still persists. I have heard the grumblings on food lines and street cars too often in these years, I have been witness to too many anti-Semitic outbursts by drunken or desperate Russians, to doubt that the evil growth is still there.
The most significant fact, however, is that the whole power of the Soviet regime is being applied to the Herculean job of tearing up that foul weed of Tsarism. It is no reflection on the Kremlin that the job is far from done. It is merely another proof of the fearful hold prejudice can have on dark minds.
Where formerly hatred of Jews was open, insulting, often brutally violent, it is now reduced to a futile and usually hidden emotion. All the machinery of education and propaganda in the hands of the government–which means everything from wallpapers to radio, from schoolroom to theatre–is used to fight anti-Semitism. All the vast repressive apparatus of a thoroughgoing dictatorship is used to punish expressions of anti-Semitism in word or act.
Even aside from its internationalist principles, the Soviet regime is obliged by the very nature of its history to struggle against anti-Semtism. It is fully aware that it is the first weapon of White Guard invasions and conquests in the terrible years of civil warfare, Both in fact and in the minds of the Russian masses anti-Semitism and counter-revolution are two strands in one rope, inextricably intertwined.
The internal struggles in the communist Party have reduced seriously the number of Jews among the outstanding leaders of Bolshevik Russia. This I am convinced, was an accidental result of the struggle, with nothing anti-Jewish in it. The line-up, especially in the Trotsky-Stalin fight, was purely along ideological lines, but it happened that many of the leaders on Trotsky's side because of their mental outlook and personal histories, were Jews.
If anything, the triumph of Stalin at that juncture represented the defeat and outlawry of the Party "intelligentsia." Since so many of the Party intellectuals were Jews, their expulsion and exile did have a false appearance of being anti-Jewish, Reactionary remnants of the old world, in their nooks and crannies, chuckled with satisfaction and shined up their rusty black-hundred emotions.
But they were wrong, Jews are still in positions of paramount importance and their numerical strength in the ruling Party is far greater than in the population as a whole. According to an authoritative estimate nearly ten percent of the delegates to Party conferences and congresses in the last few years have been Jews. Since only about one and one-half percent of the Soviet population is Jewish, it is clear that the influence of Jews in the control of the nation is larger than an arithmetical distribution of power by race would warrant. For that especially the Georgians, exercise power far out of proportion to their numbers. As persecuted minorities the Jews, the Georgians and other non-Russian groups naturally took leading roles in the revolutionary movements.
The spectacle of Jews in important places, the large number of Jews at the head or second in command of so many economic undertakings, inflame anti-Semitic feelings where these still persist. Even in the seventeenth year of the revolution one hears bitter references–never aloud or where it might be reported, of course–to "this Jewish government." Reason and prejudice were never on speaking terms and are never likely to be.
If ever there were a movement against the Soviet government–which at present is not only impossible but unthinkable–Jews would be the first victims of the reaction. Even the most bitterly anti-Soviet Jews know this to be a fact, and their political thinking is consequently badly muddled. However much they dislike the economic policies and dictatorial methods of the Communist State, they realize that it stands between them and old-fashioned Jew baiting.
I have asked Jews hostile to the Soviet idea what they would do if faced with a choice of sides in a counter-revolution. Almost without exception they declared that they would be obliged, in sheer self-defense, to fight with the Reds against the counter-revolutionaries. The exception was an aged rabbi, to whom the Bolsheviks are merely enemies of religion. He admitted that the overthrow of Bolshevism might bring pogroms, persecution and ghetto restrictions for the Jews.
"But we shall only be risking our bodies then," he said, "and now we are losing our Jewish souls." He chose unhesitatingly the ghetto and religion as against atheist equality.
A leading Jewish Communist with whom I discussed the problem of anti-Semitism recently, frankly admitted its seriousness.
"Is feel it in my personal life," he said. "Sometimes I analyze the personal bitterness towards me of some comrade. Ostensibly it may be disagreement on some matter of policy in the institution where I work. But running through it, whether this comrade knows it or not, is the ancient hatred for Jews. The Party fights it and is gradually succeeding. Among our young people it is not yet extinct. But certainly it is on the decline."
On the streets of Leningrad not long ago I met a man whom I knew from Moscow. He is now an official in a certain trust, carries a portfolio importantly and seems a typical Soviet bureaucrat. It happens that I was aware of his personal story. His family had lost a fortune in the revolution, which made him a "former." He had done too well under Nep, which made him a "Nepman."
In short, he was a fit target for official hatred, and experienced more than his share. He had "sat" many times, had been deprived of vote and bread card and had been held for months by the "valuta section" of the G.P.U. In the end he managed, despite his record, to obtain a respectable Soviet job. But certainly he could harbor no great affection for the Bolshevik regime.
"Have you ever been here before the revolution?" I asked, just to make conversation.
"Yes, I was in Petersburg twice," he said. "I came on business, with money in my pockets. But since I had no right to be there, being a Jew, and could not register anywhere, I slept in hallways…"
He paused a moment and took me by the arm, looked me in the eyes. He smiled, squared his shoulders and grappled his portfolio.
"But now," he added proudly, "I have one of the best numbers in the Astoria Hotel, as a guest of the government! I don't like the Bolsheviks, but we Jews must pray to God for them…"

I always love finding body sprays. I found one at the Dollar Tree that everyone is complimenting me on it's called Lavender Lace. I don't think anyone believes me when I told them it was $1. Anways I love your videos and blog! It's nice to see people promoting drugstore brands equally with high end because not everyone can afford the top stuff! You and I have similar coloring too dark hair,dark eyes, and light skin so your makeup tips have done wonders for me!!!! Thanks for everything!ReplyDelete
I use the Vanilla fantasy and guys love it. I think they like frsh clean uncomplicated smells, they dont want you all covered up in an overpowering smell.ReplyDelete
