Oregon's Top Private 150 Companies
|| Print |
|Archives - July 2009
|Tuesday, June 23, 2009
The results from our annual Private 150 ranking are understandably bleak, given that the economy has been in recession for nearly 20 months. Revenues and jobs for Oregon's privately held powerhouses fell steeply, with Big Timber continuing to take a beating, along with heavy manufacturing and auto dealerships. There were exceptions to the general downward trend, but the gains of the few were modest in comparison to the losses of the many.
The billion-dollar club shrank again, from nine companies in 2006 to six in 2007 and five in 2008, with North Pacific the latest Titan to move down a rung.
The hundred-million-dollar club also shrank, from 94 companies to 88. Timber, auto and heavy manufacturing companies slid the furthest. Hampton Affiliates dropped from 7th to 13th. Guaranty RV fell from 41st to 76th. West One Automotive plummeted from 55th to 79th. Ochoco Lumber tumbled from 93rd to 125th.
Others gained ground. Reser's Fine Foods jumped from 16th to 10th. Harder Mechanical rose from 52nd to 38th. Fortis Construction soared from 105th to 59th. Vigor Industrial jumped from 92nd to 57th. The Jubitz trucking empire rose from 94th to 66th. Slayden Construction jumped from 87th to 67th.
Unfortunately, improved results from construction firms can be misleading because of the lag time between winning projects and getting paid. Most construction companies are expected to fall further in 2009, along with the timber and automotive companies that prospered during good times. Tech and retail businesses are likely to bounce back sooner, although how soon remains to be seen.

The Hottie and the Nottie — Love It or Leave It?
by Celebrity 90 Reactions 0 Shares Print
2007 wasn't exactly the best year for Paris, what with her jail time and all, but that only leaves room for improvement in 2008. Next year she'll attempt to show off more of her acting skills and we've got the trailer for her next movie, The Hottie and the Nottie. After you watch Paris's foray into the wide world of romantic comedies, tell us — love it or leave it?

They made the nottie so ugly..If Paris's character wasn't going to date until her nottie friend had someone, wouldn't it be better for her to suggest ways for the nottie to not be ugly ie. not have gross toenails? They've been friends for like 20 years!

You kinda have to wonder why they went so far with the ugly on the poor "nottie." Is it to help Paris look "hot"?

Rumors surface of Apple showing interest in acquiring TwitterA couple of popular tech blogs are reporting Tuesday that Apple may have some interest in acquiring Twitter in an all-cash deal, though neither publication is able to substantiate the rumors or outline a clear-cut strategy that would serve to motivate the iPhone maker into such a deal.
For those unaware, Twitter (AppleInsider Twitter feed) is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that lets users broadcast short messages of up to 140 characters — known as tweets — to other users who subscribe to their feeds, known as followers.
Twitter usage has skyrocket in recent months as celebrities like Ashton Kutcher and Britney Spears have adopted the service as means of communicating with their fans. A variety of applications that let users tweet from their iPhones have also helped matters and emerged as some of the App Store's most popular downloads.
It's estimated that there are now approximately 25 million Twitter users worldwide, a figure which has been swelling at a rate of 40 percent each week ever since Oprah announced her plans last month to incorporate the service into her daily routine, says TechCrunch.
The technology blog was one of the publications to report Tuesday that Apple may be talks to acquire Twitter for $700 million in cash, citing "a normally reliable source" as saying that, Apple is in late stage negotiations to buy Twitter and is hoping to announce it at WWDC in June."
Still, the publication immediately hedged its bets, explaining that it contacted other sources who would presumably be familiar with the matter if it was indeed materializing only to have them express no knowledge of such a situation.
"If these discussions are happening, Twitter is keeping them very quiet indeed," wrote TechCrunch's Michael Arrington, who added that he would have passed on reporting the dubious rumor entirely had it not begun to find its way onto other technology blogs.
Arrington was likely referring to a report that cropped up a few hours earlier over at rival tech blog ValleyWag, which cited a "source who's plugged into the Valley's deal scene and has been recruited by Apple for a senior position" as passing on similar, if not exactly the same, details.
In neither report, however, is there a compelling argument waged as to where an acquisition of Twitter would fit into Apple's strategy, though ValleyWag did give it a shot by claiming the deal would land Apple seasoned engineers in tune with modern Web culture.
Founded in 2006, Twitter has yet to devise a way to profit from its success and continues to run on solely on venture capital. After reportedly turning down a buyout offer from FaceBook north of half a billion, the company in January began pitching a $250 million valuation to venture capitalists in an effort to secure more cash and maintain its course.

Exxon Mobil, Russia's Rosneft sign Arctic deals
Exxon Mobil Corp. and Russian partner Rosneft have signed an agreement that will give the U.S. company exploration access to an additional 234,000 square miles in the Russian Arctic.
Associated Press
Exxon Mobil Corp. and Russian partner Rosneft have signed an agreement that will give the U.S. company exploration access to an additional 234,000 square miles in the Russian Arctic.
A separate agreement will give Rosneft the opportunity to acquire a 25 percent interest in the Point Thompson unit on Alaska's North Slope.
The companies also said Wednesday they will study a potential liquid natural gas project in the Russian Far East.
The agreements were announced Wednesday on the website of Irving, Texas-based Exxon Mobil. Rosneft President Igor Sechin and Exxon Mobil Exploration Co. President Stephen Greenlee signed the agreements in Moscow in the presence of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The agreements will give Exxon exploration access to seven new blocks in the Chukchi Sea, Laptev Sea and Kara Sea.
"The agreements signed today bring the already unprecedented scale of the Rosneft and ExxonMobil partnership up to a completely new level," Sechin said in the announcement. "The acreage in the Russian Arctic subject to geological exploration and subsequent development increased nearly sixfold."
Participation in Point Thomson, Sechin said, would increase Rosneft's access to the latest gas and condensate field development technologies used in harsh conditions.
Point Thomson contains about 25 percent of the known gas resource base in Alaska's North Slope, the companies said.
The Point Thomson unit is 60 miles east of Prudhoe Bay and 22 miles east of the trans-Alaska oil pipeline. Alaska officials have said Point Thompson's importance transcends field development because it's the first project that will connect the trans-Alaska pipeline to eastern North Slope development.
Point Thomson is considered primarily a natural gas field and estimated to contain 8 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, about 300 million barrels of gas condensate liquids, and traditional crude oil. Its development is considered critical to development of an Alaska natural gas pipeline.
The state of Alaska moved to terminate leases at Point Thomson after concluding that Exxon and other companies were not taking adequate steps to develop them. However, after litigation, the state last year reached a settlement that called for development of the field.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in October issued a permit allowing Exxon Mobil and PTE Pipeline LLC to fill 267.1 acres - or about 0.4 square mile - of North Slope waters and tundra wetlands to construct a drilling project.
The Exxon Mobil agreement with Rosneft on LNG development includes possible construction of a facility in the Russian Far East. The companies said they would form a working group that will study the viability of an LNG project.

HOUSTON - by Drew Karedes/KHOU 11 News and www.khou.com
Bees are vital to crops, but you probably don't want them in your personal space. That's what happened to a woman in northwest Houston who was dealing with thousands of the unwanted guests.
Gwen Gayden went to bed on Friday night and woke up on Saturday to an unexpected and alarming sight.
An estimated 8,000 honey bees had attached themselves to the front left tire of her truck. Gayden figured the bees would eventually disperse if she waited patiently.
After days of waiting and phone calls to several agencies, Gayden didn't know what to do.
"I was afraid that the bees would attack and also, we have lots of kids in the neighborhood," said Gwen Gayden. "I'm afraid to even open that door!"
KHOU 11 News reporter Drew Karedes called a bee expert for advice. He gladly offered to come and help Gayden.
"You don't know what's going to happen. You don't know if you're allergic to bees. It takes 500 bees to equal the venom of a rattlesnake bite," said Michael Sexton, 'The Pest Guru'.
Sexton said bees fill themselves with honey throughout the winter, and often times, colonies become overcrowded by spring. That's when swarms are often out looking for new homes.
He said the maroon color of Gayden's pickup truck is a magnet for insects.
"If she would've drove off, it would've disturbed those bees," explained Sexton.
Sexton geared up and moved in to round the bees up in a cardboard box.
"Once you start messing with them, they can start swarming," he said, beginning to put the bees in the box.
Sexton gently scraped as many as he could into the box. He was able keep much of the swarm intact with their queen. A number of other bees dispersed into the air.
"I'm just happy they're gone. I thank you guys so much. I'm relieved," said Gayden.
Sexton left the northwest Houston neighborhood to find the bees a new home -- one further away from people.

The role of Russia as a key global supplier of natural gas will be amplified at upcoming 'Russian Day' event.
The Russian Energy Minister, Alexander Novak, confirms he will host a special 'Russian Day' at one of the world's leading gas industry events in London this October.
The role of Russia as a key global supplier of natural gas will be examined during the day-long session, which also welcomes Novak's Deputy, Pavel Fedorov, plus chief executives from petrochemical giant SIBUR and liquefied natural gas exporter, Sakhalin Energy.
Other leading government and state energy executives will also be present to explore future investment and financing issues in Russian energy and project development.
Head of Content for Gastech, Gavin Sutcliffe, said: "The involvement of so many senior Russian energy figures, including Minister Novak, indicates how seriously the Russian government is responding to the growing demands for natural gas and LNG from other consumer regions outside the EU. Russia's shift towards the potential privatisation of large swathes of state-owned energy assets has struck a global chord – opportunities such as those currently being discussed present enormous potential for private investors and foreign organisations alike.
Mr Novak said: "I look forward to welcoming delegates and guests to the Gastech Conference and Exhibition in London. I believe that Gastech is an ideal opportunity and platform to assist international partners to co-operate more effectively, allowing the launch of new joint projects within the energy sector.
The 'Russian Day' is being developed in collaboration with the Energy Ministry amid growing political will in Russia to diversify the customer base and drive forwards liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to increase business with Asian gas consumers.
The Russian government is also currently closely involved in discussions with the European Commission in a bid to cement energy ties until 2050, with Russia the EU's single largest natural gas supplier – but appreciates that growing demand from Asia means a commitment to delivering LNG export potential is also now a top priority.

British medieval records award special status by UNESCO
Twenty items have been selected from the UK's libraries, archives and museums to represent the outstanding heritage of the United Kingdom, including several that date back to the Middle Ages. They new items listed in the UK Memory of the World Register include the Cura Pastoralis of Gregory, the Gough Map, Wakefield Court Rolls, Winchester Pipe Rolls and records of The Great Hospital in Norwich.
The international-level register, which features items of global significance, includes items from the UK such as 1215 Magna Carta, the Mappa Mundi and the film The Battle of the Somme. The UK Memory of the World programme is part of UNESCO's work to promote preservation of and access to the world's archive holdings and library collections. The UK Register is available at www.unesco.org.uk/ukregister
"We were incredibly impressed by the diversity and richness of these nominations to the register," said David Dawson, Chair of the UK Memory of the World Committee. "These are some of the UK's exceptional, but lesser-known documentary riches. By awarding them with the globally recognised UNESCO Memory of the World status we hope to elevate them to the world stage."
The winners were chosen by the expert committee of the UK Memory of the World programme, following a nomination and review process.
The archive of St Giles's Hospital (known as 'The Great Hospital'), founded in c. 1249, is said to have 'no rival anywhere in the country' and is labelled as the 'fullest and by far the most important set of British medieval hospital records to survive the English Reformation'....

Thursday, 19 Aug 2010 07:03 AM
A long-running dispute between radio broadcasters and the recording industry over music royalties has taken an unexpected turn with a proposed settlement that threatens to drag the mobile phone industry into the ring.
The compromise under discussion by radio broadcasters, recording labels and recording artists could include a federal mandate that all new cell phones come with a built-in FM radio chip. While a deal is far from final, the prospect that the government could dictate a key design decision for such a ubiquitous consumer device has alarmed electronics manufacturers and wireless providers.
"This is two old-media industries attacking the new wireless broadband industry," said Gary Shapiro, head of the Consumers Electronics Association. "This is a battle that doesn't involve us."
Building FM radio into cell phones requires an additional antenna, which could add weight and bulk to devices prized for their sleekness, Shapiro said. It could also drain battery life more quickly, which could lead manufacturers to remove other features from their devices, he added.
"We don't think Congress should accept a back-room deal on how an iPhone should be designed," Shapiro said. "We think consumers should choose and companies should choose."
For years, the National Association of Broadcasters has been fighting a music industry proposal that would require radio stations to pay music royalties to recording labels and performers for the right to play their songs on the air.
Current law requires broadcast radio stations to pay royalties to songwriters, but not recording labels or artists. Broadcasters argue that the existing arrangement makes sense because radio airplay provides free promotion and drives music purchases and concert ticket sales.
But compact disc sales have dropped off, and sales of digital albums haven't made up the difference, prompting labels and artists — represented by a group called musicFirst — to step up their push to start collecting royalties, too.
Successors to over-the-air radio, such as satellite radio, Internet radio and cable TV music channels, are required to pay performance royalties, noted Marty Machowsky, a spokesman for musicFirst, which is backed by the Recording Industry Association of America and the Recording Academy. Broadcast radio stations, he said, get a "free ride" — paying nothing for "musical performance which is the foundation of their business."
Both the House and Senate Judiciary Committees have passed bills that would give recording labels and artists a cut of advertising revenue that radio stations generate by playing their songs, but neither contains an FM chip mandate. Both bills have stalled due to fierce broadcaster resistance. Faced with a stalemate, lawmakers have asked NAB and musicFirst to try to negotiate a compromise.
The proposed settlement would establish a tiered system of royalty payments that would bring in a total of roughly $100 million for the music industry. Commercial radio stations with more than $1.25 million in annual revenue would pay royalties totaling 1 percent of revenue. The smallest commercial and nonprofit stations would pay either 1 percent of revenue or $100 annually, whichever is less.
As this battle has dragged on, new rivals to broadcast radio have grown stronger and drawn more listeners as digital music players and streaming Internet radio have flourished. If Congress approves the compromise with the FM radio mandate, it would be a victory for NAB, which is seeking to expand radio station audiences.
Both the recording industry and the broadcasters trumpet the clause as a win for consumers. Machowsky said FM radio on cell phones "would give consumers more ways to listen to and enjoy music."
And Dennis Wharton, executive vice president of the National Association of Broadcasters, which represents over-the-air radio stations, said such a requirement would provide a valuable public service — particularly in emergencies, when consumers often tune into local stations seeking critical public safety information.
But Jot Carpenter, vice president of government affairs for CTIA-The Wireless Association, which represents wireless carriers, insists that while consumers do like to listen to streaming Internet radio and music downloads on their wireless devices, there is "not a huge desire to listen to over-the-air, ad-laden radio" on mobile handsets. Phones with FM radio chips are not in high demand, he noted.
At this point, NAB and musicFirst are pushing ahead. They are taking the potential agreement back to their members to try to get buy-in on a deal that they can take to lawmakers after the summer recess. And they hope that Congress will act in the fall.
"Nothing is locked down just yet," said Mitch Bainwol, chief executive of the Recording Industry Association, "but we're on the precipice of an historic breakthrough."

Lovebirds Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo granted Wendy Williams the huge honour of having their first sit-down televised interview together on her hit talk show on Wednesday...Watch video below!
They've been together now for little more than a year, and we've seen in this time plenty pictures of them together, on vacation and work, and talking to the media at red carpets, but their appearance on 'The Wendy Williams Show' truly marks the first official interview of Jordin and Jason. During the just over 7 minutes their segment lasted, Wendy had time to ask the couple if theirs was love at first sight, if they plan to live together, had them participate in a fun game called 'How You Lovin'?', but there was also room for more serious matters, like when Jordin spoke of her work with Whitney Houston in 'Sparkle'.

A Look at Prohibition, Hardly Dry: 'American Spirits' at the National Constitution Center
PHILADELPHIA — It has been a long time since anybody said: "You know, the 18th Amendment was a pretty good idea. Too bad it was overturned by the 21st." And perhaps only the most prescriptively devout among us is likely to advocate banning the sale of alcohol again in the United States.
But that is what makes the history of Prohibition such a challenge to understand. We have to imagine what kind of passions created it, but we risk distorting them because they are so alien.
Yet that movement altered the Constitution in a radical fashion, extending its reach to matters once considered personal and restricting freedoms rather than expanding them. In effect from 1920 to 1933, Prohibition drastically altered the legal system of every state, and overturned ordinary citizens' behaviors and expectations. While claiming high virtue and utopian prospects, it inspired spectacular violations and grotesque criminal violence....

Happy Halloween! I love Halloween and all that comes along with it – trick or treating, funny costumes, candy, bon fires, and pumpkin everything! I don't buy much candy for the house, as we do not get many trick or treaters here. But I always buy Lucy a little treat for the holiday! I have selected a few of my favorite gift ideas for Halloween.
1. Jewelry – I love these Kate Spade studs. They are so affordable and great for every day wear!
2. Fall scented candles – Bath and Body Works has some amazing scents in the fall. I am also a huge fan of Scentsy warmers. Lucy has one in her room. I love that they are a wax burner with no flame.
3. Handbags and Totes – I tend to buy gifts that my loved ones can use all year! Vera Bradly has gorgeous, rich fabric shades, and I use my Initials tote in my bathroom cabinet to hold my hair accessories.
4. Black cat sweaters are a cute trend, as are all animal sweaters right now.
5. Socks – my favorite gift. I wish I had a new pair of socks for every day of the week
6. Comfy shoes – Chuck Taylors can be paired with almost anything, so they are a great investment. And who could resist these fabulous kitten ballet shoes?!
Happy Halloween! I hope you enjoy the day no matter if you are participating in the trick or the treat part! What are your favorite gift ideas for the holiday?

Senate to hold initial gun control vote Thursday
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Tuesday said he has scheduled an initial vote for Thursday on a controversial gun control bill that is in reaction to December's massacre at a Connecticut elementary school.
Reid, however, said he does not know if he will be able to attract the 60 votes necessary to overcome procedural hurdles from senators opposed to gun control.
In the meantime, some senators are trying to reach a bipartisan compromise on background checks for gun buyers, which could help build support for the measure.

TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Gunmen stormed Libya's parliament on Tuesday and opened fire, forcing lawmakers to abandon a vote on the next prime minister, witnesses said.
Parliament spokesman Omar Hmeidan said several people were wounded in the shooting by the gunmen, who were linked to one of the defeated candidates for prime minister. He gave no name. Lawmakers fled from the building, witnesses said. The incident ended quickly but the vote was postponed until next week.
The government has been unable to control armed groups and Islamists who helped oust Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 but refuse to disarm and have carved out regional fiefdoms. Militias have repeatedly attacked the interim General National Congress (GNC) to make political or financial demands.
Hmeidan said deputies had started the final vote on a replacement for Premier Abdullah al-Thinni, who resigned two weeks ago saying that gunmen had attacked his family.
In the first ballot, businessman Ahmed Maiteeq came out on top among seven candidates. A second round between Maiteeq and the runner-up Omar al-Hasi had been meant to take place when the gunmen burst into the assembly.
Thinni had resigned just one month after his election, replacing Ali Zeidan, who was fired by deputies over attempts by rebels in the volatile east to sell oil independently.
The assembly is deadlocked between Islamists, tribes and nationalists, compounding a sense of chaos as Libya's fledgling army tries to assert itself against unruly ex-rebels, tribal groups and Islamist militants.
In February, it agreed to hold early elections in an effort to assuage Libyans frustrated at political chaos nearly three years after the fall of Gaddafi.
Deputies initially agreed to extend their term after their
mandate ran out on Feb. 7 to allow a special committee time to
draft a new constitution. But that move provoked protests from
Libyans angry at the slow pace of political change.
Many people in the OPEC nation blame congress infighting for
a lack of progress in the transition to democracy.
In another sign of trouble, the attorney general asked to lift the immunity of assembly president Nouri Abu Sahmain to investigate a leaked video showing him being questioned over a late-night visit by two women to his house, Benghazi MP Ahmed Langhi told Reuters.
The case has the potential to damage Abu Sahmain, who is the army commander and has quasi-presidential powers. He has disappeared from public view since the attorney general launched his investigation in March.
At the time of the incident in January, rumours surfaced that he had been briefly detained by a militia to question him about the women. He denied then he had been kidnapped.

The additional projects included a new Jackson Elementary School (also the first LEED-certified Gold School in South Carolina), an addition and media center renovation at Blaney ...

OPEN LETTER TO Bhakti Vikasa Swami
«« Back To Stats Page
Dear Devotees,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Maharaj is expressing a concern in the lecture which a lot of devotees share along with him. There is a general perception in the world today that we at ISKCON has become commercial/ mundane non-profit charity. Srila Prabhupada wanted Pubic Kirtan and Mass distribution of Prasadam to be done at large scale so that more and more people get the mercy of Krishna. The mood behind this was his compassion. We as his followers are supposed to imbibe the same mood and continue the programs for his pleasure. However, in some quarters the MDM and FFL is perceived as whole & soul of ISKCON activities for eg. at Bangalore. Maharaj was expressing the concern which is today spreading across the temples as this is an easy funding effort compared to book distribution etc. Srila Prabhupada wanted us to develop pure love of Godhead. Prasadam and Holy name connect us to Krishna. However if in MDM and FFL we become so engrossed that we forget the primary goal it will be not appreciating what Srila Prabhupada gave us. Lets see these things in a dispassionate manner for they have the key to take us further in our Krishna Consciousness.
Thanking you, your servant

Delhi gang rape teen to be tried as juvenile; victim's family angry
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - A teenager accused of taking part in the December 16 gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old student in New Delhi will be tried as a juvenile, facing a maximum of three years in prison if convicted, a special panel ruled on Monday.
The ruling shocked the victim's father, who watched the news flash across his television screen.
"A sudden current ran through my body in disbelief. I can't believe this," the father told Reuters. "How can they declare him a minor? Do they not see what they did?"
The teenager has not yet been formally charged because police were hoping he would be declared an adult so they could include him in the main trial of his five co-accused.
He does not have a lawyer and his account of what happened on December 16 is not known.
Lawyers for the five accused men said they would plead not guilty and one has accused police of torturing him, his lawyer said.
The panel's decision on the youth is likely to infuriate many people, including protesters, some police and political leaders, who have called for the age at which people can be tried as adults to be lowered to 16 from 18.
A government committee examining changes to sexual crime laws, however, last week ruled out such a move.
Police allege that the 17-year-old and five men gang-raped and severely beat the student on a moving bus in the capital before dumping her and a male friend in the road. The woman was so badly injured that she died of massive organ failure in a Singapore hospital two weeks later.
The case has sparked national debate about rampant crime against women, and President Pranab Mukherjee, made an unusual call in a television state-of-the nation address on Friday for the country to "reset its moral compass".
A juvenile board, comprising a magistrate and two child welfare activists, said it accepted school records showing the juvenile, who may not be identified, as having been born on June 4, 1995. It said a bone density test to determine his age was not necessary.
Police, who suspect that he is older than 17, said they could appeal the board's ruling, although there was no immediate plan to do so.
"This is wrong. We need the bone test to determine the accused real age, certificates can be forged," the victim's younger brother told Reuters by telephone.
The teenager attended Monday's hearing but journalists waiting outside the building did not catch a glimpse of him. He will now stand trial before the juvenile board and if convicted will be sent to a juvenile detention centre.
Across town, lawyers for his five fellow accused presented arguments for the first time on Monday in a pre-trial hearing that will determine what charges the five men will face when the case eventually goes to trial.
Outside the wood-panelled courtroom dozens of policemen armed with bamboo canes or "lathis" jostled with reporters waiting to get a glimpse of the five accused. The men, wearing grey woollen caps and scarves to hide their faces, were hand-held by policemen as they were led inside.
In India, all rape cases are held in closed court to protect the identity of the victim. This rule is being enforced in the New Delhi gang rape case even though the victim's family has already said they are not opposed to her being identified.
The judge hearing the case, Yogesh Khanna, has taken the additional steps of cautioning lawyers not to talk about the proceedings outside of court and warned the media not to repeat any information they glean from sources.
The prosecutor had complained that defence lawyers were violating an earlier court order by briefing reporters.
The scarcity of information about a case that shocked the world stands in stark contrast to the intense media coverage that preceded the start of the court proceedings.
There is still simmering public outrage over police handling of the case and the slow response by the government, which was caught off guard by street protests that turned violent.
Many still have questions about what really happened on the night of December 16, what drove the women's attackers to assault her so savagely, and how such a brutal crime could take place in an affluent and modern part of the capital.
The government panel set up after the gang-rape blamed police negligence for a climate of insecurity in New Delhi, known as India's "rape capital".

Some of you might not like this comment, that's the reason I am posting it here on Reuters but not on India news sites. I already get lots of abuse due my opinions there.
1. Law does not allow people to marry till they are 21 years for boys and 18 years for girls.
2. Sexual urge starts at the age of puberty (14-16 years). This urge is most intense in the beginnig years, and subsides as people gets older.
3. When law stops you to lawfully fulfill your sexual urge (by marriage), how can law punish someone for this.
This is a short of legal blackhole. Should the law makers be held accountable for the law they passes?
