HYDERABAD: Majority of industry representatives welcomed the formation of Telangana  state and said the decision would in no way adversely affect them.  While welcoming the decision to allow Telangana people write their own fate, the infrastructure firm  IVRCL BSE -2.90 % Chairman E Sudhir Reddy said, "It may now lead to similar statehood demands from across the country. Given the law and order related experiences of  Chhattisgarh  and Jharkhand, the union government should now focus on a national-level disaster management mechanism to address such issues in smaller states in the national interest."  Chief financial officer  with an infrastructure company into construction, roads and power, who did not want to be named, said the Telangana state formation would in way affect the interests of Andhra-based entrepreneurs with business interests in Telangana region. "Most of the infrastructure firms have projects across the country and in fact the new c...

'You've got to find what you love,' Steve Jobs says This is a prepared text of the Commencement address delivered by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, on June 12, 2005. Video of the Commencement address. I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories. The first story is about connecting the dots. I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by colleg...

"All warfare is based on deception." -- Sun Tzu, "The Art of War" (500 B.C.) "An international monetary system dominated by a single sovereign currency has intensified the concentration of risk and the spread of the crisis." -- People's Bank of China (2009) It should go without saying that China and Russia have designs to end the U.S. Dollar hegemony and debtism free ride. This is fundamental to understand and will be a game changer. The impacts on the standard of living of these players will be profound and especially negative for the U.S. How and in what manner this plays out is the question. I strongly believe that the answer lies in two parts: letting the U.S. put a noose around its own neck and then at the appropriate time, kicking the chair out from under it. The first part of the operation is now advanced and is described below. The second part involves China and Russia preparing their relative currencies to be accepted i...

By David Jones and Jim Finkle NEWARK, N.J./BOSTON (Reuters) - U.S. prosecutors charged six foreign nationals with hacking crimes, including credit and debit card thefts that authorities say cost U.S. and European companies more than $300 million in losses, and charged one of them with breaching Nasdaq computers. Prosecutors said the indictments unsealed on Thursday for the payment card hacking were the biggest cyber fraud case filed in U.S. history. The long list of victims include financial firms Citigroup Inc(C.N), Nasdaq OMX Group Inc(NDAQ.O), PNC Financial Services Group Inc(PNC.N) and a Visa Inc(V.N) licensee, Visa Jordan. Others include retailers Carrefour SA(CARR.PA) and J.C. Penney Co(JCP.N) along with JetBlue Airways Corp(JBLU.O), prosecutors said as they announced indictments. Prosecutors said they conservatively estimate that a group of five men stole at least 160 million credit card numbers, resulting in losses in excess of $300 million. Authorities in New Jer...

Diarrhoea is one of the biggest killers of children in Africa. Cheap and simple remedies can be effective, but only if they reach those in need. So one British couple came up with a way to solve this delivery dilemma - by using something that was already there. It is not really a main street, just a wide dusty red track between a scatter of huts and little stores that make up the village of Kanchele in southern Zambia. At one end there is a cluster of lively market stalls. At the other end, the men are playing pool. Hens and tiny chickens scratch the red earth. It is a long way off the main road from the Zambian capital Lusaka to Livingstone near the Victoria Falls, bumping down 30 miles (50km) of increasingly rough tracks across the bush. Eventually reached, the village is pretty basic; no power supply, water fetched on foot from the river two kilometres or so away. No television, of course. I came to this remote place in Africa with a British campaigner called Simon ...

And a similar calculation with the GDP of the BRIC countries – Brazil, Russia, India and China – surpasses the cumulative GDP of the EU". English transcript: Speech at the 43rd Munich Conference on Security Policy 02/10/2007 Thank you very much dear Madam Federal Chancellor, Mr Teltschik, ladies and gentlemen!

This conference’s structure allows me to avoid excessive politeness and the need to speak in roundabout, pleasant but empty diplomatic terms. This conference’s format will allow me to say what I really think about international security...
