US, India discuss trade ties The new Indian envoy discusses business opportunities between two countries with USIBC members IANS,WASHINGTON
‘Khobragade episode could have been avoided’
I
nvestment opportunities in India were the focus of discussions between the new Indian Ambassador S. Jaishankar and a group of 90 industry executives and businessmen from the U.S.-India Business Council (USIBC). The meeting here on January 30 was followed by a welcome reception of over 200 member companies of the trade group comprising 350 top-tier U.S. and Indian companies advancing U.S.-India commercial ties, U.S. government officials, think tanks, and friends of India. Jaishankar, according to a media release, engaged with USIBC on important topics that have dominated the bilateral commercial relationship in recent months —namely, tax treatment of investments in India and the protection of intellectual property (IP). Industry captains also discussed the need for improvements to infrastructure and increased investment in defense and energy, it said. The executives advocated for the lifting of FDI caps in important sectors like insurance and defense, and for adjustment of the retail policy to attract major investment and organized players into India. The group raised the need to

The flight-tracking website FlightAware reported that by February 3, 177 flights were cancelled at LaGuardia Airport, 75 at John F. Kennedy International (JFK) Airport, and 188 at Newark Liberty International Airport. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for New York City, Long Island and parts of New Jersey, where 12-20 cm of snow is expected.

That is part of the conversations underway,” he said. “But what the issue does highlight is the need for greater sensitivity, for better understanding and for stronger oversight of our ties,” said Jaishankar. Asserting that “the grand strategy underwriting our ties is sound”, the new envoy said: “It needs maintenance and from time to time, an upgrade. That puts the emphasis on detailing and problem solving.”

Massive winter storms have dumped snow across the northeast of the country and ushered in dangerously cold temperatures, leading to at least 13 deaths in the eastern U.S. so far.
WASHINGTON: Conversations are underway to repair the avoidable damage done by the Khobragade episode to the India-United States relationship, which both sides consider “indispensable”, according to India’s new ambassador S. Jaishankar. “For those of us who have devoted time and energy to building Indo-U.S. ties, the last few weeks have been truly distressing,” he told a Washington audience Wednesday, alluding to the worst diplomatic spat between the two countries over the December 12 arrest of an Indian diplomat. “What I have encountered since my arrival is the sense that this situation should never have happened,” said Jaishankar in his first public comments on U.S.-India relations at the Carnegie
WASHINGTON: Janet Yellen has been sworn in as the U.S. Federal Reserve chief, becoming the first woman to occupy the post. She was previously the Fed’s vice chief. The oath was administered on February 3 by Governor Daniel K. Tarullo in the Board Room, Xinhua reported citing a Federal Reserve statement. U.S. President Barack Obama announced Yellen’s nomination on October 9, 2013. The Senate confirmed her on January 6. As a close ally of former Fed chair Ben Bernanke, Yellen is expected to keep enforcing the low interest rates and cutting back the massive bond-buying program that aims to restore growth.
sserting that the U.S. downgrade of India’s aviation regulator had “absolutely nothing” to do with the Khobragade affair, the U.S. says it was committed to help India get its status back as soon as possible. “This absolutely had nothing to do with the ongoing case of Dr. Khobragade,” State Department spokesperson Marie Harf told reporters on January 31 when asked if the U.S. action would hurt efforts to restore ties with India after their worst diplomatic spat over the Dec 12 arrest of an Indian diplomat. “Again, this was a regulatory decision,” she said referring to the U.S. Federal Aviation Authority’s (FAA) downgrade of the safety ranking of India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) from category-I to category-II rating. “I don’t know how much leeway we have in those,” Harf said when asked if it was not possible to try and defer the FAA decision amid efforts to repair frayed relations over the arrest of Devyani Khobragade, India’s former deputy consul general in New York. “But it’s my understanding that

this was all made inside a regulatory framework that has very specific criteria countries have to meet under ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) standards that we’re all party to,” she said. “These aren’t our standards,” Harf said commenting on India’s expression of disappointment over the FAA decision. On the broader question of relationship Harf said: “we’re all committed to moving on to working together on all of the issues we work on all the time.” “A number of folks obviously have talked to our Indian counterparts over the last few weeks, and I think we’re all committed right now to moving the relationship forward and really focusing on working together,” she said.

UPA for anti-graft bill The UPA government sets ambitious agenda for the last session of the 15th Lok Sabha; opposition in no mood to let the government score brownie points just before the elections
There are 126 bills, including some key ones, pending in the two houses of Parliament.
Telangana: Andhra CM, ministers protest in Delhi NEW DELHI/HYDERABAD: Opposing the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy sat on a silent protest in the national capital. Union ministers, Congress MPs and state ministers and legislators from Seemandhra (Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra) region joined the chief minister in the protest, asking the central government not to table the bill for formation of a Telangana state in Parliament. Defying the Congress leadership, the chief minister and his supporters sat on the day-long protest to demand that the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Bill 2013 be rejected in both houses of the state assembly should not be tabled in parliament. Central ministers K.S. Rao, Pallam Raju, K. Chiranjeevi and D. Purandeswari, state Congress chief Botsa Satyanarayana and a large number of party workers from Seemandhra participated in the protest. They shouted slogans in support

Kejriwal opens can of ‘corrupts’ IANS, NEW DELHI
IANS, NEW DELHI
T
he government has an ambitious agenda for the last session of the 15th Lok Sabha beginning February 5 of passing Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi’s pet anti-corruption bills and other pending legislation. However, the opposition seems to be in no mood to let the government score brownie points just before the elections. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh hoped that Parliament in its wisdom will pass the bills. Rahul Gandhi too is learnt to be planning to meet the opposition leaders. The United Progressive Alliance government is keen to pass six
pending anti-corruption bills despite likely disruptions over Telangana and the opposition’s apparent desire not to hand over an election plank to the Congress ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. Officials said 39 bills were on the agenda for the session including the women’s reservation bill. The opposition has also spelled out its issues including the now cancelled VVIP chopper deal and price rise. With Lok Sabha elections expected in April-May, the government is likely to make a strong push for passing the pending anti-graft legislation in an apparent bid to take political credit for this and shore up its image, battered by allegations of corrup-
tion levelled by opposition parties. Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi has over the past two months been strongly pitching for passing these six anti-graft bills. The Congress had suffered heavy reverses in the assembly polls late last year and the party is making an apparent effort to reclaim the lost ground. “The anti-corruption bills are a priority for the government. We will like them to be passed,” Congress spokesperson Shobha Ojha told IANS. The government will also take a vote-on-account during the session which will conclude on February 21. According to PRS Legislative Research, a think tank, there are 126 bills pending in the two houses.
D
elhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has stirred a fresh controversy by naming over 20 top politicians including Rahul Gandhi, Nitin Gadkari, Mayawati and Sharad Pawar as ‘corrupt’. Hitting back, Congress questioned his commitment to a legal process while the BJP asked him to furnish proof or apologize. Union minister Farooq Abdullah, who was also among the 20 politicians named by Kejriwal, said he will take recourse to legal action against the Aam Aadmi Party leader. Addressing the Aam Aadmi Party national executive here,

A delegation of northeast leaders and activists also met Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde and demanded a judicial probe into the matter and a law against racism.
In a related development, a Delhi court sent the three men Sunder Singh, Pawan Farmania and Farman — arrested in connection with Nido Tania’s death to judicial custody till February 18. Expressing “deep sorrow” and “concern” at Tania’s death, President Pranab Mukherjee in a statement asked all citizens to “work hard” to strengthen the “bonds of friendship and amity” amongst diverse communities. Condemning the violence which preceded Tania’s death, Mukherjee called upon law enforcement agen-

Kejriwal also attacked Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi and Bharatiya Janata Party’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi for spending crores on creating a “brand”. “I have made a list of corrupt people. This is just the beginning and the list will grow,” said Kejriwal. Singh said “every possible effort” would be made to punish the guilty. In a statement, the prime minister said: “The attack on Nido Tania, the student from Arunachal Pradesh, is most condemnable. While the actual cause of Nido Tania’s death will be known only after the autopsy report is received, the violence which preceded his demise is tragic and shameful.” He also said people from other parts of the country like the northeast are as much a part of the city as anyone else. “All citizens need to work together to ensure that our brothers and sisters from northeast feel safe and secure in Delhi,” he said. Various organizations and students from the northeastern states, demanding justice have been holding protests in the Capital.

The ballot counting began immediately thereafter at counting centers. Voting went ahead in 89 percent of the 93,952 polling stations across the country, the Bangkok Post reported citing the Election Commission. The vote count will be sent to the Election Commission and results will be released only after the by-
elections for advance voting and blocked polling stations. The by-elections are scheduled to be held on February 23. Some six million registered voters were affected by the closures, the Election Commission said, BBC reported. Protests prevented voting from taking place in 438 of Bangkok’s 6,671 polling stations, and there was no voting at all in nine southern provinces, the report added. The government said there was no disruption in the north and north-east of the country. The prime minister, who won the last election in 2011, called for the elections to head off mass protests that began in November 2013.
Nearly 121 died in Syrian bomb attacks CAIRO: At least 121 people died in bombardments using barrels of explosives dropped from helicopters on the weekend by the Syrian army over various sites in northern Aleppo province, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported on February 2. Among the fatalities on February 1 were 13 children and at least 10 combatants of the Al Nusra Front, which is linked to Al Qaeda. The targets of the deadliest barrel-bomb attacks were the Tarik Bab neighborhood, where 34 people died, and the Al Salihin and Al Marya zones, where a combined total of at least 22 people perished. Apart from the regime’s air attacks, at least 26 people died in armed clashes between rebel brigades and members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, which is also linked to Al
Qaeda. Clashes between rebels and the forces of the Bashar al Assad regime near the Aleppo prison resulted in the deaths of nine fighters.

Yanukovych warns against extremism KIEV: Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych on February 4 warned Ukrainians against fomenting extremism and radicalism in the country. “I urge to say ‘no’ to extremism, radicalism and fomenting enmity, which is based on the political struggle for power,” Xinhua quoted Yanukovych as saying during an international round table entitled ‘The democratic process and the threat of radicalism in Ukraine.’ On the recent confrontation between anti-government demonstrators and police officers, Yanukovych expressed regret and called on Ukrainians to unite against Nazism, racism and xenophobia.

Khurshid “emphasized that India attaches the highest importance to the safety, security and well-being of Indian fishermen and thanked the Sri Lankan minister for his personal efforts in ensuring the release of the Indian fishermen”, the sources added.

KATHMANDU: More than two-and-half months after polling for a new Constituent Assembly, Nepal’s legislativeparliament will Monday endeavour to elect a new prime minister following failure of several bids to install a consensus government. Earlier, a sevenday deadline given by President Ram Baran Yadav to install a consensusbased government with the support of all 30 politi-
cal parties represented in the legislative-parliament expired on February 2. After several bids to elect a consensus-based prime minister according to the constitutional provision failed, President Yadav on February 3 instructed Nepal’s parliament to elect the new prime minister through a majority vote. According to the constitutional mandate, the formation of the consensusbased government would be given first priority. If all attempts fail to install such a government, the only option remaining will be for a majority-based government through voting in Parliament. As of now, Sushil Koirala of the Nepali Congress, the largest party in the Parliament is the sole candidate laying claim to the post.

Andhra CM congratulates Nadella HYDERABAD: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy congratulated Hyderabad-born Satya Nadella on being appointed the CEO of global software giant Microsoft. The chief minister, in his message, said every Indian should be proud of Nadella, who has made a great mark in the world of software. “He made Telugu people proud,” said Kiran Reddy while expressing his happiness over Nadella’s elevation. The chief minister also noted Nadella was educated in Hyderabad Public School (HPS) and was also a member of the HPS cricket team. “The younger generation should get motivated by such personalities,” he said. Kiran Reddy also did his schooling from the HPS.

The Wall Street Journal had some doubts.

Murthy all set to be
‘America’s doctor’ The physician would be the first Indian American to be the appointed as US surgeon general if confirmed ARUN KUMAR, WASHINGTON
P
resident Barack Obama’s pick for surgeon general, Vivek Murthy, breezed through his confirmation hearing before a Senate panel even as several Republican senators expressed concern over his support for Obama’s signature healthcare law. Murthy, 36, who would be the first Indian-American to become “America’s doctor” if confirmed by the Democratic controlled Senate, was an early supporter of Obama and his health-care law. A physician with the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and an instructor at Harvard Medical School, he co-founded an advocacy group in 2008 called Doctors for Obama, a national organization of 16,000 doctors and medical students. It later became Doctors for America and promoted the Affordable Care Act nicknamed Obamacare. At the hearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labour and Pensions Committee, at least

H
arvard Business School’s Indian-American Dean Nitin Nohria has made an extraordinary public apology for the school’s treatment of female students and professors and vowed to make changes at the institution. Born in Nohar, Rajasthan, Nohria acknowledged to alumni and guests at a function in San Francisco that the school had sometimes treated its female students and professors offensively. He conceded there were times when women at Harvard felt “disrespected and unloved by the school. I’m sorry on behalf of the business school,” he told a hushed room, according to CNN Money. Among other things, Nohria
one Republican senator said he expected the Brookline doctor to be confirmed by the full Senate thanks to a recent change in the chamber’s rules allowing a filibuster to be overcome with a simple majority. Murthy told the Senate panel he would focus on community health prevention projects, especially combating obesity, and not primarily on political issues. “The role is not to be a legislator or a judge,” he said. “The role is to be a public
health educator.” Murthy said he believed the surgeon general should focus on areas where there is broad agreement, including prevention of chronic diseases, efforts to curb smoking, and programs to improve diets. He said he would try to work at community level, recruiting religious groups and even arts organizations into public health education programs. He is a graduate of Yale University, where he earned a medical degree and an MBA.
Lawmaker Joe Crowley
Community honors US lawmaker IANS, NEW YORK
I
ndian American community in Jackson Heights and broader Queens area of New York has honored Joe Crowley, Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives for his efforts on behalf of the community. During the event in Queens, New York last week, Crowley, vice chair of the Democratic Caucus was recognized for his successful efforts to convince the federal government to begin collecting data on hate crimes committed against Sikh-Americans and Hindu-Americans. His leadership in establishing the first-ever, breakthrough Congressional Diwali celebration in the US Congress in
October 2013 and his ongoing work to end the presumptive ban on Sikhs serving in the US military, were also lauded. “The Indian-American community is an integral part of Queens and our city, contributing to our economic success and enriching our culture,” said Crowley, who serves as the cochair of the Congressional Caucus on India and Indian-Americans in the House. “I am proud to have fought for and won concrete victories on behalf of the community and I will continue to do so,” he said. Nearly 100 community members and leaders from New York’s Sikh-American and the broader Indian-American community attended the event to honor the lawmaker.

Harvard dean apologizes for sexism on campus pledged to more than double the percentage of women who are protagonists in Harvard case studies over the next five years, to 20 percent. Currently, about 9 percent of Harvard case studies — which account for 80 percent of the cases studied at business schools around the world — have women as protagonists. Nohria’s comments, CNN Money noted, come five months after a lengthy front-page article in The New York Times fuelled a major debate on gender issues at Harvard and many other business schools. Today, some 57 percent of Harvard’s cases are international in nature, up from less than 5 percent a decade ago. The school produces roughly 250 new case studies a year.
Kashkari keen on California guv run WASHINGTON: Former IndianAmerican US treasury official Neel Kashkari, a multimillionaire who oversaw the $700 billion bank bailout after the 2008 financial crisis, thinks he can unseat California’s popular Democratic Governor Jerry Brown. Kashkari, who lives in Laguna Beach in Orange County, previously worked for Goldman Sachs. Last year, Kashkari quit his job as an investment banking executive and began travelling across the state and mulling his run for governor, meeting with potential donors, community organizations and regular Californians. “Clearly Governor Brown is a very powerful incumbent, but there are so many examples nationally of where very powerful incumbents lose,” he said on January 31.

Indian Americans save most
for children’s education IANS, WASHINGTON
I
ndian Americans, who have the highest income among America’s multicultural groups, save much of their higher household income for their children’s college education, according to a new study. This heavy emphasis on higher education, however, leads to times when Indian Americans prioritize saving for their children over saving for themselves, according to the third biennial 2013 State of the American Family Study. The study from Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual),offering a broad snapshot of Americans’ financial views indicated that Indian-Americans are savers. One third of them indicating that they have six months or more of their monthly living expenses set aside as savings. The top two
financial priorities of IndianAmerican for their savings are for their children’s college education and keeping the family financially shielded. As a result, one quarter of Indian-Americans struggle between saving to pay for their children’s college education and saving for their own retirement, the study notes. “Being an Asian Indian myself, I know and understand the importance that the community places on putting family first,” said Nimesh Trivedi, director of multicultural market support, U.S. Insurance Group at MassMutual.

Modi doesn’t assure new
bull market
The fact remains that market participants are bullish on Indian equities over the next year solely because of rising expectations of Narendra Modi-led BJP at the helm VATSAL SRIVASTAVA, NEW DELHI
I
ndian equities have witnessed a few choppy trading sessions following the United States Federal Reserve’s announcement to further taper its monthly bond buying program by $10 billion to $65 billion a month. The emerging market currency sell-off has also added to short term bearishness. But the stabilization of the Turkish lira and the South African rand in the latter half of last week will most likely lead to an improvement in trading sentiment in the emerging market space. As the Nifty of India’s National Stock Exchange (NSE) looks to find support around the 6,000point level, the underlying mood still remains bullish with all major
brokerage houses having year-end targets at 6,700-7,000 points — a further 10 percent upside from current levels. The main catalyst for this rally would be what the majority of analysts on Dalal Street are calling the key event risk of 2014 — the spring general election. Recent results of state assembly elections and opinion polls are clearly indicative of wave in favor of Narendra Modi the prime ministerial candidate of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Foreign institutional investors are “overweight” on India largely based on the assumption that a stable coalition led by the BJP in majority will kick-start the investment cycle by introducing a host of pro-growth policy measures. But what is the corelation between political stability
Reviving craftsmanship
IN KASHMIR IANS, NEW DELHI
A
new generation of craftsmen from Kashmir are on the path to revive and develop age-old craft techniques like traditional numda rugs, kani
shawls and crewl embroidery through a project that is mentoring them and providing financial assistance of `400,000 — and generating jobs. Six young entrepreneurs from the Valley were in the capital at
BJP’s PM candidate Narendra Modi and party president Rajnath Singh wave to the crowd during a rally in Meerut, UP.
What is the co-relation between political stability and positive economic outcomes? and positive economic outcomes? The economics research department of JP Morgan put out a note last week to analyze evidence of the past 20 years. This comment presents facts produced in the JP Morgan India special report, titled ‘5 Questions That Keep Us Awake’ dated January 26. To address this question, the analysts created an index of political stability which is defined as the fraction of seats of the largest party in the ruling coalition vis-a-vis the total number of seats in the Lok Sabha. For example, if the party
with the largest number of seats in a governing coalition was 200, the index is 200/543 (543 representing the number of elected seats in the Lok Sabha) or 0.37. Thus, the larger this ratio, the more politically stable the government is presumed to be. When the Indian average GDP growth rate for 1992-2014 is plotted against the index of political stability, we see the negative co-relation between the two variables as shown in the graph. Further, as their analysis points out, both the Asian financial crisis
the lush, green lawns of GandhiKing Plaza at India International Centre Sunday evening where they talked passionately about how the NGO Commitment to Kashmir (CtoK) helped them with financial muscle to establish their small businesses, which in turn have provided employment to a large number of artisans, especially women. One of the success stories is that of 23-year-old Mahvash who has replaced the traditional “flower and leaves” embroidery with “birds of Kashmir”. This twist to a traditional design was welcomed by many, but she didn’t have money to take the skill forward. She then approached CtoK with her idea of producing highend fashion garments and it was immediately lapped up. “Money has definitely helped me with the business, but it is the mentorship that I cherish the most. I have been able to learn a lot from my mentors about business and how to take it forward,” Mahvash told IANS. Because of this assistance, Mahavash has been able to provide
direct employment to over 100 artisans, mostly women, who are involved at various levels in fabricating hand- embroidered shawls. Karan Singh, a Congress member of the Rajya Sabha and son of Maharaja Hari Singh, the last ruler of erstwhile princely state of Kashmir, who was the chief guest at the event, said such stories from the Valley are “rare” but provide a “ray of hope” about its future. “We have hardly heard any good news from the Valley in a quarter of a century. There has been a monumental tragedy in Kashmir and such a project is a massive attempt to heal the scars of the community,” he said. “When one gets to hear such rare stories, it gives a ray of hope to us. Kashmir has always been famous for its art and craft and this project is helping young people to exhibit their skills,” he added. The project was conceived by the late L.C. Jain, a former member of the Planning Commission, to enable young people in the Valley sustain themselves. Among the prominent names associated with the project are Laila Tyabji of Dastkar; Manju
in 1998 and the global financial crisis in 2008 occurred during regimes that scored relatively low on the index of stability. Thus, if one were to adjust and include the negative effects on growth of these external factors, the negative correlation would be even stronger. Another possible explanation, according to the research was that perhaps stable regimes engage in more fiscal consolidation, and go after inflation more aggressively. As things stand today, the fact remains that market participants are bullish on Indian equities over the next year solely because of rising expectations of a Modi-led BJP at the center. Anyone looking to put their money in Indian stocks solely based on one future event should keep this analysis in mind.
Nirula and Gita Ram of the Crafts Council of India; Ritu Sethi of Craft Revival Trust; Gulshan Nanda, former chairperson of Central Cottage Industries Emporium and Jain’s family members. In Kashmir, the project has the support of the Crafts Development Institute and its faculty. The selection process at CtoK, which basically run on donations and grants, is simple. It examines the business plans of craftspersons, entrepreneurs and women from the Valley and selects four or five for providing interest-free loans. It also guides in drawing up marketing strategies, apart from conducting skill-enhancement workshops. “There is so much of turbulence in the Valley that people have lost their confidence. The unsettled socio-political of a state that is highly dependent on its craftsmanship has pushed its backwards,” CtoK trustee Tyabji said. “The objective is to enable people sustain themselves, help them with grants, mentor them and help them establish and identify potential markets,” she added.

Humiliation continues for Men in Blue After a dismal performance in South Africa, Kiwis beat India by 87 runs in the final ODI to hand over another series defeat to India IANS, WELLINGTON
A
comprehensive performance from New Zealand fired them to a 87-run win over India in the fifth and final One-Day International (ODI), clinching the series 4-0 at the Westpac Stadium here on January 31. A consecutive century by Ross Taylor powered the hosts to 303/5 in their 50 overs after being put in to bat. But the visitors could only manage 216 and were bowled out with two balls to spare. Pacer Matt Henry impressed on debut, taking 4/38 in 10 overs. The loss meant India lost their second overseas series in a row after going down in South Africa. The hosts struggled at the start against pacers Mohammed Shami
(1/61) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1/48). But New Zealand came back strongly, backed by a 152-run thirdwicket partnership between Kane Williamson (88) and Taylor (102) which took them beyond the 300mark. Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s decision to field first seemed like it was bearing fruit as Shami and Bhuvneshwar made up for their poor show at Hamilton. Shami bowled

Tiger Woods enthrals Indian fans in Delhi IANS, NEW DELHI
W
orld No.1 golfer Tiger Woods played the full 18 holes at the Delhi Golf Club (DGC) on January 4 carding an unbelievable nine under during an exhibition game to enthral fans. To put things in perspective, Mohammad Siddikur of Bangladesh finished with a total of 14 under 274 at the same course when he won the Indian Open crown. Only select media personnel and DGC members were invited to the private event organized by the Hero Group and the World Sports Group (WSG). Woods, who reportedly received $2.2 million for the appearance, played with Hero MotoCorp MD and CEO Pawan Munjal and some select invitees for most of the time.

He was later joined by Indian golf stars Shiv Kapur and Anirban Lahiri who played the last three holes. “Thanks so much for the time, it was an absolute blast. It is hard to say how much fun I had today. It was a narrow golf course and I was
nervous with my tee shot. My best buddy Arjun (Atwal) told me so much about India and I am happy to be here. Thank You so much,” Woods told reporters. Among the guests were former India cricketers Madan Lal and Murali Karthik. The American golfer arrived here Monday from Dubai, where he took part in the Dubai Desert Classic, and was whisked away from the VIP area at the airport amidst tight security. Meanwhile, the general public was left a little aggrieved by the privacy of the event. Many had wanted to get a glimpse of the sport’s most popular figure “A few days back I had heard the news that Tiger Woods would be coming to Delhi. Later I found out that this was a members only event but I still came here hoping to see him,” golf enthusiast Varun Bapna told IANS.
Super Bowl Sunday halts US ARUN KUMAR, WASHINGTON
A
merica came to a virtual standstill on February 2 to watch the year’s biggest sporting event — Super Bowl, a game of American style football — much like the sub-continent does to watch a cricket match between India and Pakistan. From President Barack Obama down, fans prepared for days for “Super Bowl Sunday” to watch the 48th annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL), the highest level of professional American football, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
But the game isn’t anything like the football played in the rest of the world as two teams of eleven players, each dressed in helmets and thick shoulder pads, try to advance an oval ball down the field by running with or passing it. Originating from the sport of rugby football, the first game of American football was said to have been played on Nov 6, 1869, between two college teams, Rutgers and Princeton. Obama celebrated the Super Bowl by having the White House tweet a picture of him throwing a football. He also gave his sixth traditional Super Bowl Sunday interview telecast during Fox News’s pre-
eight beautiful boundaries and a huge six. Once the 23-year-old got caught at point while trying a square drive, Taylor took control of the innings. Taylor hit 10 boundaries and a six to reach his 10th ODI century before being the last wicket to fall. After the initial few overs, the Indian bowlers struggled once more with only part-time bowler Virat Kohli (1/36) averaging below six per over. All other Indian bowlers leaked runs with only Aaron taking two wickets (2/60). India started the chase poorly and crawled to 20 for two in the first 10 overs, allowing the run rate to increase right from the start. Both openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan struggled. Kohli again provided the fireworks with his knock of 82 . His fifth wicket 67-run partnership with Dhoni revived hopes of India chasing down the stiff total.
DAVIS CUP: India whitewash Chinese Taipei INDORE: Indian tennis players Saketh Myneni and Yuki Bhambri won their respective reverse singles matches in straight sets to whitewash Chinese Taipei 5-0 in their Davis Cup Asia/Oceania Group I tie here on February 2. The hosts had already sealed their progression to Round 2 by winning the doubles rubber on January 1 taking an unassailable 3-0 lead. Myneni and Bhambri clinched the dead rubbers to make a clean-sweep of the contest. India rested Somdev Devvarman, who played a tiring five-setter on Janu-
game show. About 48 million Americans were expected to order takeout or delivery food from a restaurant instead of cooking at home, according to ABC7SB TV citing the National Restaurant Association. Tickets for the inaugural Super Bowl were sold for $6 but the price increases have outpaced inflation and the face value for tickets this year ranged between $500 and $2,600. For the record, what was expected to be very competitive game with Obama predicting a 24-21 score for the winner of the match, though he was careful not to take sides, turned out to be a totally one sided affair. The Seattle Seahawks won their first Super Bowl title on February 2 night beating the Denver Broncos 43-8.
ary 31 and February 1 to give debutant Saketh Myneni his maiden singles match in the Davis Cup. The 26-year-old had partnered experienced Rohan Bopanna to victory in his first Davis Cup match in the doubles rubber on February 1. Myneni once again came out on top Sunday to defeat higher ranked TsungHua Yang 6-1, 6-4 in the first reverse singles. In the second match, Bhambri easily defeated Hsien-Yin Peng 7-5, 6-0 to register his eighth Davis Cup win in nine outings. The Anand Amritraj-led team progresses to Round 2 where they will take on South Korea April 4-6. The winner of the clash will advance to the World Group Play-offs. — IANS

The film is set to be remade in Telugu and Hindi. Daggubati Venkatesh will feature in its Telugu remake, which will be helmed by Sripriya, while the talks are on for the Hindi remake with a top star. Southern actress Meena, who essayed an important role of Mohanlal’s wife in Drishyam, is likely to be retained for the Tamil remake as well. Haasan is also set to soon start working on Tamil comedy Uthama.
‘Kochadaiiyaan next step in Indian cinema’ CHENNAI: After months of delay, superstar Rajinikanth’s Tamil period-drama Kochadaiiyaan is slated to release worldwide on April 11, and its director Soundarya Rajinikanth Ashwin views the film as the next step in Indian cinema. “Following last year’s celebrations of India’s film making centenary, we view the release of Kochadaiiyaan as part of the next step of Indian cinema. For the first time a full length feature has been made using performance capture technology in India and I truly hope this creates a whole alternate film making avenue apart from live action films,” Soundarya said in a statement. Kochadaiiyaan features the unique visual mastery of photo-realistic performance capture technology for the very first time in the history of an Indian film. It is releasing worldwide in cinemas April 11, 2014, added the statement. The film is an epic dramatization of good versus evil starring Rajinikanth in a
double role in a larger than life depiction. Also starring in the grand production is Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone with South India’s leading stars such as R. Sarath kumar, Nasser, Aadi Pinisetty, Shobana and Rukmini.

e was a legend in the Telugu film industry. But in real life, Akkineni Nageswara Rao, popularly known as ANR, was a humble man, says his son and Telugu superstar Nagarjuna. It would be near impossible to fill the gap created by the demise on January 22 of his 91-year-old father who won the Padma Vibhushan and Dadasaheb Phalke Award for his contribution to cinema, Nagarjuna told IANS in a telephone interview. “My childhood was special because dad brought me a bicycle when I was small and I loved it,” Nagarjuna said in the interview, detailing his earliest memories of ANR. How do you differentiate between ANR the father and the star? “They were completely different. My father was a humble human being and a very disciplined actor,” Nag, as he is fondly known, said. Nag, 54, is

one of the top stars in Telugu cinema. He has so far acted in over 80 movies, mainly in Telugu. He has also starred in Hindi films including Shiva, LoC Kargil and Criminal. “I remember going to shoots with dad, with my brother and sister,” recalled Nag with a deep sigh. “It was his aura and presence that moved me every time he would walk into a room... He was my best guide.” ANR played a critical role once Nag decided to plunge into the movie industry, giving him many invaluable tips. Even as a busy actor, Nag pined for his father’s company. In a career spanning seven decades, he was the undisputed emperor of the Telugu film industry. But despite the dizzying success, he never lost links with Ramapuram in Andra Pradesh where he was born. He won several accolades inlcuding the Dadasaheb Phalke Award (1991) and Padma Vibhushan (2011).
t’s brave on the part of producer-turned-actor VTV Ganesh to play the lead in a film which is more or less a semi-autobiography based on events from his own life. It is not because Ganesh plays the lead that Inga Enna Solludhu is unarguably boring, but because it is a shoddily written story that fails to entertain. Ganesh occupies the frame from the opening scene and with little honesty he proves that this project is very dear to him. But all this hardly matters to people who pay and watch a film for the sake of entertainment. En
route to Chennai in a car, Ganesh shares his story with the driver played by Santhanam. He talks about how he started his career as a bartender and went on to do multiple jobs before getting an opportunity to turn producer. If not every detail, most of this story could have been taken from
Ganesh’s life but the way it is narrated hardly makes one root for the protagonist. Ganesh casts most of his industry friends in small roles in the film, and because of that we get to see some bad performances. Even the likes of Santhanam and Simbu aka Silambarasan (a popular Tamil actor) don’t appeal because their roles are equally bad. Meera Jasmine and Andrea are merely used to fill in the shoes of weak characters. Initially, we see a strong Meera standing up against a drunk cab driver who tries to misbehave with her but later we see her marry Ganesh for reasons never explained in the film. Likewise, we are never told how Ganesh and Simbu know each other and they appear in a scene out of the blue. Inga Enna Solludhu is a story you feel sorry for. It’s a film that makes a success story look like a joke on screen. — Haricharan Pudipeddi

‘Drama queen’ a positive word for me: Parineeti NEW DELHI: Actress Parineeti Chopra is seen grooving to the beats of Drama queen in her new movie Hasee Toh Phasee and she says that she takes the word very positively. “The word ‘drama queen’ is very positive for me, because I am like that. I am very outspoken, I talk loudly, I am always happy and smiling...I do a lot of dramas and I don’t think it’s a bad thing,” Parineeti told reporters during a promotional conference of the film here. The 25-year-old says coming to the sets of the movie, which also features Sidharth Malhotra, was not new to her because she has always done medium budget films. “For me, to play the character was a challenge, but coming to the sets of Hasee Toh Phasee was not new because I have always done medium budget films. You know, I have always done movies with restricted budget, so shooting was fine with me but the character came to me as a challenge,” she said. — IANS

‘One By Two’- a slice of urban life
I
t takes a while to figure out why this deliciously yummy concoction about urban aspirations is called One By Two. And it would be a crime more criminal than character assassination to tell you why the two main characters in the film never meet till the closing moments. This is a film that wears its heart on its sleeve. And it doesn’t roll up that sleeve when the narrative is endangered by uncomfortable twists of circumstances. Devika Bhagat loves her protagonists Samara and Amit, quirks, excesses, flatulence and all. The urban fable constructs Samara and Amit’s dreams as a spiral of frustrations. We really don’t expect these two people to come out triumphant at the end. And really, they don’t. What they
Film: “One By Two”; Cast: Abhay Deol, Preeti Desai; Writer-Director: Devika Bhagat; Rating: ***1/2
do is to connect themselves as very believable young people with dreams that seem to be picked out from the streets rather than man-
ufactured on a cinematic stage. One of them likes to pound the guitar. The other one loves to dance. She is on that crazy jour-
ney through the dance-reality show, the kind that Anushka Sharma embraced in Aditya Chopra’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi to fob off a housewife’s boredom. The dysfunctional girl Samara(effectively played by Preeti Desai)has serious dreams that seem driven more by her alcoholic mother’s frustrations. Indeed some of the film’s most effective dialogues and drama emerges in the mother and daughter scenes....Quite understandable when the mother is played by the ever-dependable Lilette Dubey. Abhay clocks up a very assured working-class hero’s character. He is bitter but not broken. Bewildered by the vagaries of life, but never unamused by the irony of it all. He is everyman, and yet special in his ordinariness. Irresistible in parts, One By Two never disappoints. — Subhash K. Jha

Farhan to host KBC? MUMBAI: Farhan Akhtar has been the toast of all award functions this year after the success of his last release, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. A source reveals, “Post the success of BMB, Farhan was flooded with a number of offers. In fact, after a month of the film’s release, he was contacted to host a season of Kaun Banega Crorepati. It seems that the team of the show is planning to attract younger viewers with their choice of host. As new aspects of the show will demand someone who can connect particularly with the youth, they have approached Farhan.” In the past, Shah Rukh Khan too has hosted a season of the popular game show and various celebrities such as Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and even Farhan himself have been part of special episodes. When contacted, a source said, “We will discuss his work only when any project deal has been sealed”.
‘Was confident of winning Nach Baliye 6’ NEW DELHI: Small screen actress Asha Negi won the sixth season of Nach Baliye with actor-boyfriend Rithvik Dhanjani and says she was confident they will win the celebrity dance reality show. The couple had performed consistently well from the beginning of Nach Baliye 6 and won the finale on February 1. “Both me and Rithvik, we were confident that we will win the show. There was never a moment when we lost the confidence or that we were over-confident. But, we did our best, gave my 100 percent and we knew it will pay off,” Asha told IANS in a telephonic interview from Mumbai. The actress said that competing with Debina Bonnerjee and Gurmeet Choudhary was difficult for them as they always had something new or different to perform. “Gurmeet and Debina always gave good performances, they used to surprise us with their acts. So, it was challenging to compete with them, but Rithvik was always there for me and it’s because of his support that we were able to reach the finale and win the trophy,” she said. Along with the trophy, the couple was handed over ` 35 lakh as prize money and Asha has already thought of what to do with it.

The show will be an Indian interpretation of the novel, following the life of a mother who runs a marriage hall and lives with the hope of seeing her two daughters. “All I can say is that it’s a very passionate story of love...” Ekta said in a statement about the new show.
Payal rejects film offer MUMBAI: Actress Payal Rohatgi has rejected a film offer by a French director, who was keen to sign her in his next film. Even though the script was interesting she couldn’t sign him because of lack of dates. The director was amazed by her performance he said, “She is a brilliant actor and perfect for my character.” Payal Rohatgi said, “I am happy that I got an international offer by French director but I won’t be able to take part in his film as he wanted me exclusively for two years. As I am getting many offers from Bollywood and Television industry I won’t be able to do it. In future I will surely look forward to do Hollywood projects.”
MUMBAI: While a lot of Bollywood celebrities are experimenting with the small screen, especially judging reality shows, actor-producer John Abraham wants to stay away from it. “I would like to judge shows in colleges and schools but I am not yet prepared to judge any show on TV,” the 41-yearold said at the Jai Hind college alumni meet here. John is also an alumnus of Jai Hind college.

BY A STAFF WRITER
he Hindu Mandir of Lake County performed Ma Saraswati Puja on February 2 with great religious fervor and devotional songs. Some 130 students of different ages from the temple and other local schools participated in the puja and prayed to the Goddess of Knowledge for their academic success. Children were enthusiastic about the ceremony as they were given a special puja plate with Lord Ganesh and Ma Saraswati, Kumkum, Akshata and flowers. Pandit Anil Joshi Ji started Lord Ganapati and Ma Saraswati puja and asked the students to perform the same in their plates along with him. All children chanted Sarswati Beej Mantra, Stotra and Vandana along with him. It was spectacular to see all the youngsters in yellow dresses, uttariya, and their chanting with utmost devotion. Grayslake Hindu Mandir is running religious and Hindi language classes for the past four years on every 1st, 3rd and 5th Sunday of the month. The classes are organized by Sanjay and Parina Mehrotra, along with 28 dedicated teachers and 15 volunteers.
Students performing Saraswati Pooja
They run 14 classes for students in the group of 5 to 15 years. Bhagavatgita classes are also arranged for adults by Upadhyaya Ji. The temple is making all-out efforts to build a special connection between younger generation and the Hindu religion by teaching them all socio-cultural and spiritual values as well as languages. According to Pandit Joshi ji, Vasant Panchami marks a glorious occasion to seek
Ma Saraswati’s blessings to acquire secular and spiritual knowledge, adding that real education makes person more humble, compassionate and full of loving energy whereas knowledge makes man egoistic. President Harsh Kumar gave vote of thanks to all the volunteers and devotees. Finally, a grand Maha Mangalarati was performed by all. After the arati, the prasad was distributed to all by Neelakanth Anand and his team.
Is Social Security in danger? BY A STAFF WRITER ocial Security is a very well designed and maintained program. Who could ever oppose such a beneficial program? Well let’s see. The finance industry wants to privatize IRA accounts in order to profit from this lucrative pot of money that exists in the form of Social Security. In addition, the affluent sector of Americans maintain an interest in saving money through taxes. Numerous demonstrations and polls relay that the majority of Americas strongly oppose cuts in Social Security, however, the White House overlooks the public opinion in this regard. Leading news sources will portray Social Security as a burden on young Americans without regarding it as a safeguard for our country’s elderly and disabled. Democrat Senator Tom Harkin (Iowa) offers a sensible solution. It involves taxing the highest earners of our nation. Senator Elizabeth Warren mentioned in her speech how strongly she believes in the wrongful cuts on Social Security, as well as President Obama’s chained CPI (Cost of Price Increase) Cut, which ultimately dips into the pockets of Social Security over time.

ADISON (WI) -- A legislative aide charged with voter fraud has admitted her voting a c t i v i t i e s o n Fa c e b o o k , according to court records associated with the investigation. The criminal complaint provides information found by an investigator with the Dane County District Attorney’s Office, in an election fraud case against Marcie Malszycki. She faces two counts. The complaint states Malszycki, in a facebook post dated November 2, 2010, wrote, “Just voted for Waker, Johnson, Kapanke, Huebsch and JB Vanhollen. Go Team!!!” Records show Malszycki lives in Madison, and when questioned in the post by a Madison neighbor about where she voted Malszycki responded, “Voted in Onalaska since I am living here.” The complaint details that Malszycki was living in Onalaska temporarily while working on a candidate’s campaign. It goes on to state Malszycki told an Onalaska police officer she had been staying with her parents, and that she told a poll worker she had been living with her parents for two months before voting. Malszycki says a poll worker informed her she could vote if her mother signed her registration form acknowledging Malsyzcki has been living there, which her mother did. The complaint also details evidence that Malszycki registered to vote at the polls on November 4, 2008 in Onalaska, using her parents’ address, despite living in her home in Madison a few months before. Work records show Malszycki took a leave of absence in the fall of 2008 and fall of 2010 to do campaign work. Malszycki currently works for State Rep. Warren Petryk, a Republican from Elvira. Rep. Petryk said in a statement: “The incident would have occurred prior to her working in my office. She is a valuable and excellent employee.”

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2014 MIDWEST EDITION
In the interest of fairness and accuracy, hi INDiA feels it is appropriate to publish the response of Global Country of World Peace to the article published January 24, 2014. Specific Reply to Points in Hi India and related Articles 1. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been given information concerning Vedic Pandits l e a v i n g t h e i r U S C I S a n d St a t e Department approved program at the campus in Iowa, and ICE has been given passports, when not in the Pandits possession. 2. The Pandits who leave the program without returning to India are in violation of US Immigration Law and it is therefore a Federal matter, beyond the legal jurisdiction of local officials in Iowa or the Indian Consul General in Chicago (though the prior Consul General visited the Pandit campus in Iowa and expressed great pleasure at the program and facilities). Therefore, information that GCWP has or develops concerning the AWOL Pandits’ possible whereabouts, which is scant, has and continues to be provided to ICE for their investigation, which we presume is ongoing. As neither the local authorities in Iowa nor the Counsel General in Chicago have the proper resources to investigate these matters or the responsibility to enforce the immigration laws that may be violated by the Pandits and by the employers who may be employing them, they are not the authorities who have been contacted. 3. The Indian organization has been advised of the Pandits who leave in this fashion. These Pandits, who are adults, have the responsibility to advise their families of their departure from the program (which we understand they have done). Their departure has occurred without any prior notice to Global Country of World Peace (GCWP), the US organization sponsoring them in the US. 4. All Pandits at the Iowa campus who are at the end of their two-year stay or who express a need to visit family in India and take a necessary leave, are transported to O’Hare airport with their luggage by campus staff, assisted with check-in and placed on the plane to India on that very day, at no expense. This is either by virtue of pre-purchased tickets or tickets purchased at the airport on previously known available seats. They all travel to India on the day taken to the airport and are not returned to campus, except for any Pandit who leaves on his own without notice before ticketing or boarding. 5. Only a small number of the over 2,600 Pandits, or about 5%, who have come on this unprecedented Vedic program to the US have left in this fashion. For the first four years of this program, it was a very small number. In recent months this number has been unfortunately increasing. It appears they have been induced by individuals providing false information of high (and unlawful) earnings, or by unscrupulous employers taking advantage of them. ICE may be identifying them but we are not privy to the details of their investigations. We understand from those who have left who returned to GCWP in Iowa, that they have been living in very unfortunate circumstances. Those Pandits who have left and then returned have been sent back to India immediately at no expense. The Pandits are, however, not forthright
in providing any information on other Pandits whereabouts to GCWP as there is a strong code among them against doing so. 6. The Pandits leave in Chicago at the airport and some walk off the campus in Iowa. Those who go to Chicago do so after purportedly saying they have a family need to return to India. Sometimes this occurs when departing from the van at the airport, even before having their luggage unloaded, and sometimes after having gone through airport security. GCWP cannot force them to get on the plane or talk sense into them (they are of adult age), and that is when their travails begin. 7. There is a specified program and qualifications that the Pandits must have and engage in to qualify for their visa. This includes: the detailed Vedic activities of their spiritual vocation. This has all been thoroughly reviewed and approved by USCIS and the Department of State over the last 8 years through their extensive regulatory review processes. Four years of preparatory work with the US State Department prior to the commencement of the program was engaged in by GCWP. 8. Only those individuals who have many years of training in the Vedic performances by our Indian affiliate are accepted and qualified. The Pandits come from several states in India and from Nepal. 9. They are on R-1 visas. They are not in possession of a visa to be day laborers nor are they equipped to be such. Their visa only entitles them, and they are solely qualified to engage in, their spiritual vocation of meditation and Vedic performances. This involves morning meditation, morning Vedic performances, afternoon exercise and study and evening meditation and study. They are not subject to minimum wage laws in this spiritual or ministerial vocation, like monks in a monastery. 10. The Iowa campus has been specifically inspected and approved for this precise purpose by USCIS, for use as a site for R-1 Pandits (and visited by the prior Indian Consul General in Chicago with much appreciation). 11. The Pandits are thoroughly briefed on the terms of their engagement in India in Hindi in writing and orally and in the US upon arrival and are provided their benefits and care on those same terms. 12. No Pandit has ever come on the program under 18 years of age. Their average age is approximately 25, with the ages of those leaving ranging from 20-42, with the group generally being in the 20’s and 30’s 13. All of the Pandits’ housing, food, clothing, winter coats and boots, personal supplies, medical insurance and other needs are provided to them at no charge. It has been agreed with the Pandits that of the $200 per month base cash compensation, $150 will be transmitted to their families in India. It has been paid. Additional bonuses are paid based on longevity and status, and upon return to India those additional amounts are paid. In some cases, when the Pandits hurriedly leave in Chicago prior to their luggage being unloaded
from the van, they may not have their to progressively larger facilities, all at no clothing with them. expense to the Pandits or their families. This includes the ability to enroll in 14.

LOCAL POLITICS COMES OF AGE FOR INDIAN AMERICANS BY A STAFF WRITER
N
ew York -- At an interesting and successful fund-raiser organized by Harbachan Singh at his residence, and Malini Shah on January 25, a group of motivated Indian Americans unanimously pledged their support to Indian American Swati Dandekar who is making a run for a US Congress seat from the State of Iowa this fall. She had won a seat in the Iowa State Assembly in 2002 and a seat in the Iowa senate in 2009 and is now geared for capturing a seat in US Congress. Harbachan Singh, a community activist and a leader of several organizations, said he welcomed the candidature of Swati Dandekar, who, he said, was a professional and a seasoned politician, adding that her experience and performance during the last ten years was a glowing testimony that she was dynamic and highly capable of best representing the people of Iowa in particular and all Indian Americans in general in the US Congress. India’s Consul-General in New York, Dnyaneshwar Mulay, said that Indian Americans were now coming forward to play an active role in the politics of their
Burglars strike at homes of Indians, Pakistanis

O N N E C T I C U T: T h e Connecticut police are asking people of Indian and Pakistani descent to take steps to protect themselves from break-ins, especially since in some cases the burglars appear to know when families are away from home. According to a press release issued by the Norwalk Police Department Detective Bureau, the department is noticing a rise in burglaries of Indian-American and Pakistani-American households by crooks who are well-organized and seem to be familiar with cultures from the Subcontinent. Gold jewelry, diamond jewelry and cash have been particular targets of the burglars. While burglaries cannot always be prevented, the department says it is possible to make homes less likely target. Some of the recommendations made by the department include not using social media sites to inform others of absence from home, always lock doors and windows, always activate the burglar alarm, even if it’s for a short time. The police also cited a recent home burglary on New Year’s Eve, where expensive electronic items were left behind. This is not the first time in the past few years that homes of Indian-Americans and Pakistani-Americans in Norwalk have been targeted by burglars.

the basis of their artistic abilities to become candidates for the rare honor. The program, which began in 1964, annually recognizes high school students on the basis of their accomplishments in many areas—academic and artistic success, leadership, and involvement in school and the community. Fewer than 200 of the nation’s students will become Presidential Scholars. Those selected will travel to Washington D.C. in June for enrichment activities and be presented with a Presidential Scholars Medallion during a ceremony sponsored by the White House. For now, each candidate must submit an essay, self-assessment, school reports and transcripts.
‘White powder’ at hotels, post offices found to be harmless
E
BY A STAFF WRITER
AST RUTHERFORD (NJ) -- The suspicious white powdery substance delivered to at least six hotels just miles from MetLife Stadium is believed to be cornstarch.. Hazardous material (haz-mat) units, a bomb squad and law enforcement officers descended on five hotels in Lyndhurst, Rutherford, East Rutherford and Carlstadt and two postal offices located just miles from MetLife Stadium when suspicious white powder was found enclosed in envelopes. The discoveries on January 31 prompted a major law enforcement response and triggered a security scare two days before the stadium hosted the Super Bowl. Though investigators believe the off-white substance sent in envelopes is cornstarch, they’re awaiting final test results from county haz-mat officials. The FBI said the substance was deemed to be harmless. “The locations have been secured and initial field screening on the first samples has shown the substance to be within normal values,” a
statement from the FBI’s Newark division said. Additional tests would be conducted at a Trenton lab, but there were no reports of any illnesses from the letters. In Rutherford, Police Chief John Russo said officers were alerted around noon when an employee at the Renaissance Meadowlands Hotel saw an off-white powdery substance while opening mail. Authorities quickly quarantined the woman. “She was in good health the entire time and there was no need for medical attention,” he said. Emergency crews talked to the woman through a window during the investigation. The county’s hazardous materials team later confirmed the substance was cornstarch. “We got lucky in that it turned out to be nothing,” the chief said. Some hotel guests were evacuated on borough buses and brought to the nearby library to keep warm. Others on upper floors were told to stay in their rooms while the police secured the area. FBI agents took the letter and were handling the investigation. The police also tracked the letter back to a mail route and delivery driver at the Rutherford
post office, where authorities conducted another search. That investigation didn’t turn up any suspicious substances or letters. Similar reports emerged throughout the day in six towns near the Super Bowl site. Two suspicious letters were discovered at the Courtyard at Marriott and the Quality Inn in Lyndhurst. The letters were “isolated” and no one was exposed to any danger.. In Wood-Ridge, officials also found a white powdery substance believed to be cornstarch at the post office, according to the police. Wood-Ridge Mayor and State Senator Paul Sarlo said schools were operating normally, but officers were out to ensure a safe dismissal. The Police and emergency crews also tended to a report of a suspicious letter at the Hilton Hasbrouck Heights on Terrace Avenue and the EcnoLodge motel on Washington Avenue in Carlstadt, officials said. County haz-mat units began receiving reports of the letters around 11:45 a.m. Another letter was mailed to the 6th Avenue office of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the NYPD said. The letter was found to be harmless.

‘Designing menswear
can be fun’ One can play around a lot of variety in male costumes, says Dubai-based Indian-origin designer Varoin Marwah NIVEDITA, NEW DELHI
C
ontrary to the belief that designing menswear has limited options and one can just experiment with restricted cuts and patterns, Dubai-based Indian-origin designer Varoin Marwah says one can play around a lot of variety in male costumes. “It’s a myth when people say that menswear designs are very limited. If one looks at it, (the) same holds true for women. It is one and the same thing, but if we can play differently with womenswear lines why can’t we also do so for men’s clothing,” Marwah told IANS in an interview. The designer recently showcased at India Resortwear Fashion Week 2014, his debut on the Indian runway. His designs reflected the romantic side of men in the forms of shorts and jackets in bright pastels. Marwah said that his collection gave a fair idea to all those men who want to dress up differently for holidays and parties. “There were varieties of shorts with jackets in my collection and that’s exactly what I wanted to introduce to the market. I want to give a message to all those men who think that they can’t walk

out in shorts and jackets. Such outfits can also look glamorous if worn differently,” he added. The inspiration behind the collection was also unique. “This collection almost took me three months and it started while I was holidaying in the Caribbean, where I saw romantic couples who were just having a great time. I just noticed that there is a need for men to realize that they also need to dress up for the occasion. With this line, I just wanted to show the softer side of men,” he said. A graduate of New Delhi’s JD School of Fashion Design, he started designing at the age of 18 and has modelling experience for various wellknown designers such as Shantanu and Nikhil Mehra and Tarun Tahiliani. le areas one step at a time.

But the results showed that an inexpensive, fun and relatively simple movie-and-talk approach can be just as effective as other more intensive therapist-led methods — reducing the divorce or separation rate from 24 to 11 percent after three years.

Key protein helpful for leukemia therapy
Healthy sleep helps ward off depression A recent study has revealed a link between sleep duration and depression IANS, WASHINGTON
D
on’t sleep deprive yourself as it may be a precursor for major depression as you reach adulthood — occurring before other symptoms of major depression and additional mood disorders hit you hard. A genetic study of adult twins and a community-based study of
adolescents has reported novel links between sleep duration and depression. Both short and excessively long sleep durations appear to activate genes related to depressive symptoms. “We were surprised that the heritability of depressive symptoms in twins with very short sleep was nearly twice the heritability in twins sleeping normal amounts of time,” said Nathaniel Watson, associate pro-

fessor of neurology and co-director of the University of Washington Medicine Sleep Center in Seattle. This new research emphasizes that we can make an investment in our health by prioritizing sleep, added M. Safwan Badr, president, American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Sleeping six hours or less per night increases the risk for major depression, which, in turn, increases the risk for decreased sleep among adolescents, said the study. Optimizing sleep may be one way to maximize the effectiveness of treatments for depression such as psychotherapy. “Healthy sleep is a necessity for physical, mental and emotional well-being,” said Badr.

NEW YORK: In a ray of hope for leukemia patients, a protein critical to hematopoietic stem cell function— that give rise to all other blood cells — and blood formation has been identified. The finding has potential as a new target for treating leukemia because cancer stem cells rely upon the same protein to regulate and sustain their growth, said researchers at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine. “A protein called Lis1 fundamentally regulates asymmetric division of hematopoietic stem cells, assuring that the stem cells correctly differentiate to provide an adequate, sustained supply of new blood cells,” said principal investigator Tannishtha Reya from department of pharmacology. Reya said the findings shed new light
on the fundamental regulators of cell growth both in normal development and in cancer. “Our work shows that elimination of Lis1 potently inhibits cancer growth, and identifies Lis1 and other regulators of protein inheritance as a new class of molecules that could be targeted in cancer therapy,” he explained. The findings appeared in the journal Nature Genetics.
Vitamins may blunt endurance training
OSLO: An alarming study suggests that high doses of vitamin C and E supplements may blunt the improvement of muscular endurance by disrupting cellular adaptions in exercised muscles. “Our results indicate that high dosages of vitamin C and E - as commonly found in supplements - should be used with caution especially if you are undertaking
endurance training,” alerted Goran Paulsen from the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences in Oslo. As vitamin C and E supplements are widely used, understanding if they interfere with cellular and physiological adaptations to exercise is of interest to people exercising for health purposes as well as to athletes. “Our research found that vitamin C and E supplements blunted the endurance train-
Your week ahead... Aries Keep the faith with the house, flat, family, household, home town or homeland goal. Jupiter is going backwards which is why nothing is moving forwards, yet the trine to Chiron on Wednesday should still give you hope.
Taurus If there is one area of your life which has been flakey and fuzzy for a year or two, it’s the business of friendship. Of course, when your friend is also part of a group business project, you can crank up the potential for confusion.
Gemini Your ruler Mercury is retrograde in Pisces from Thursday so it’s pretty clear that your career is unclear! You can substitute university life or charity work if that’s your calling instead.
Cancer Halfway through last year something very new rose up in front of you. Since then the continent keeps going under water just when you think you’re ready to go even further. How very frustrating.
Leo Halfway through last year you came across something very new and extremely positive. It involved you ducking out of sight and taking a back seat. Alternatively it involved a confidential project with classified information.
Virgo Virgo, the sight of both Chiron and Mercury Retrograde in Pisces, your opposite sign, paints a most unusual picture of your opposition. Alternatively we are talking about your partner who is on the other side of the scales from you.
ing-induced increase of mitochondrial proteins, which are needed to improve muscular endurance,” added Paulsen. In the 11-week trial, 54 young, healthy men and women were randomly allocated to receive either 1,000 mg vitamin C and 235 mg vitamin E daily or a placebo (a pill containing no active ingredients). Neither the participants nor the investigators knew which participant received the vitamins or placebos. — IANS
(February 6-12) Libra You will have soaring success within four weeks, making March, April, May, June and July memorable for all sorts of good reasons. One of them is the sheer vindication of your faith.
Scorpio You must be wondering if you were mad to put so much energy and time into another country or culture; a spiritual endeavour; a book. Actually you were right and this process you have experienced is part of your eventual success.
Sagittarius Chiron and Mercury Retrograde are in your zone of the home. This covers your house or apartment. Alternatively we are talking about your homeland or home town. If you can’t identify your home, then this is the story this week.
Capricorn Capricorn, about halfway through last year you were thrown an opportunity involving your former, current or potential partner. Perhaps an enemy or opponent too, strangely enough.
Aquarius It’s quite clear that a substantial business, money, property or charity decision is pending. See how long you can put off the final judgement call, though. Mercury will be retrograde in this zone of your chart from Thursday.
Pisces Pisces, even though nothing really substantial has happened with the children, or a youth project, what occurs near Wednesday should give you reason to keep hoping (and trying). —Jessica Adams
