There are inherent risks and dangers if India were to adopt genetically modified crops. Here is an expose about several myths surrounding GM crops. This is the first part of a three-part series
There has been a great deal of publicity of late, particularly by the Agriculture Minister, about the necessity of genetically modified (GM) crops for feeding India's masses, while dismissing the widespread concerns about them. These concerns cover health, environmental impacts, farmers' indebtedness, loss of seed diversity and sovereignty. These risks are not activist extremism, but have repeatedly been endorsed by independent investigations—both abroad and in India.
Independent reports on GM: The first serious report in India was in 2010 by former minister of environment Jairam Ramesh, who called for a moratorium on Bt brinjal after inputs at seven public hearings and perusing scientific studies in favour and against its introduction. Then, in 2012 a report by the Parliamentary Standing Committee for Agriculture (PSCA) consisting of 31 members across party lines, unanimously castigated rampant regulatory failures, the exaggerated claims of increases in yield of Bt cotton, the health and environmental risks increasingly being reported across the world, and the stranglehold by large transnational seed corporations, whose expensive patented seeds have to be purchased afresh every year causing economic distress and suicides of farmers. The PSCA called for a complete moratorium on field trials of GM crops until a proper bio-safety regulation based on the best globally available legislation is enacted and regulatory loopholes are plugged. Its report is accessible here as well as a three page press release of it by the Lok Sabha Secretariat.
The most recent report is by a Technical Expert Committee (TEC) appointed by the Supreme Court in a public-Interest Litigation (PIL) on GM (Writ Petition no (Civil) No.260 of 2005). The TEC consisted of six members, of which five submitted a unanimous report calling for the following:
Each of these has been followed by a spate of articles, in some newspapers, attacking the findings of the PSCA, personal denigrations of their authors and fear mongering that without GM, India will be unable to grow the food it needs. GM is one of the most important issues for India as it affects food and seed, vital for us all, and also because the spread of living organisms is irreversible. There is thus the need to sift PR hype from truth.
GM hype and GM truth: The hype is that GM is cutting edge technology in agriculture, that 170 million hectares are under GM crops, and that India will be left behind if it does not adopt this GM technology. The truth is that 170 million hectares constitutes only 3.4% of the world's total agricultural land, that only six countries account for 91.8 % of all GM area (USA 40.8%, Brazil 21.4%, Argentina 14%, Canada 6.8%, India 6.3%, and China 2.3%) and that most countries in the world are rejecting or restricting it. The first four countries, accounting for 82% of all GM cropland, have average farm sizes of about 300 to 1000 acres and their main GM crops are Herbicide Tolerant (HT) i.e. designed to withstand herbicides, which will kill all plants other than the genetically modified HT crop. This actually results in more irresponsible spraying of herbicides, thereby leading to more toxin consumption. It has also led to unprecedented herbicide resistance in weeds. These pose a major problem to US farmers who cannot eradicate these "super weeds" which have affected 61 million acres of US farmland (Report by Stratus Agri-Marketing). The TEC has rightly recommended that there is no justification for HT GM crops in India, where sizes of Indian farms are only 3 acres on average and manual weeding provides employment to millions of women.
In India, Bt cotton is the only crop permitted so far. Bt crops involve the transfer of a gene from a soil bacterium (Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt) into the seed, to produce a protein toxic to a targeted pest e.g. the bollworm in cotton. The hype is that Bt cotton yields have made India the second largest exporter of cotton whereas the truth is that very little of this is due to higher yields from Bt cotton. In fact, according to Cotton Advisory Board figures, cotton yield increased by 69% (i.e. from 278 kgs per hectare in 2000-01 to 470 kgs per hectare in 2004-05) when Bt cotton was less than 6% of total cotton area. However, as Bt cotton expanded to over 90% of the cotton area, yield increased by only about 6%, stagnating at around 500 kg per hectare for the past 5 years. India has also become the world's largest exporter of organic cotton—which does NOT use GM seed. In fact organic cotton exports are now being jeopardised by Bt contamination, as importers of organic cotton do not permit the slightest trace of genetic modification. Moreover, some types of bollworms have developed resistance and, after Bt cotton, there is an unprecedented invasion by other pests—such as sucking pests—which were earlier never a problem with cotton. Farmer risks now include more expensive seeds (5 to 10 times the cost of earlier seeds), pesticide spraying on these secondary pests and crop failures as these seeds need timely irrigation, which 65% of our farmers cannot provide. While some farmers may have benefited, amongst rainfed farmers indebtedness and suicides have not decreased despite wide adoption of Bt cotton. Other possible impacts eg Bt toxin on soil microbes and on animals which consume the plant, allergy in cotton pickers and consumers, and health consequences of Bt cotton seed oil now being liberally mixed into edible oils, need to be monitored through independent and transparent long term studies, which is, unfortunately , not happening.
Stay tuned for part two of the three-part series.

After laying more than 70kms of gas pipeline on farmland, the Tamil Nadu government wants GAIL to reroute the laying process and align it with highways. This entails several risks, that of safety, security and maintenance
State-run GAIL (India) Ltd is the largest gas transmission and marketing company in India, operating for the last 25 years, covering over 30,000kms of gas pipelines, out of which they themselves have laid 10,000kms.
At the moment, work on their Kochi to Mangalore gas pipeline, 310kms of which are projected to pass through Coimbatore, Tirupur, Erode, Namakkal, Salem, Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri in Tamil Nadu, has to be stopped at the request of state government. The Tamil Nadu government alleges that the farmers, in some of these areas, feel that laying gas line will lead to a loss of agricultural production!
GAIL has, in the past, laid network of gas pipelines on farmlands in several states like Karnataka, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh Haryana, Gujarat, Goa and Maharashtra, without any trouble. Experience shows that laying the gas pipeline via the farmland is the safest means of transport of gas, which is practised all over the world. It does not affect the farmer who is adequately compensated, and the pipelines are laid one or two metres below the ground level.
BC Tripathi, chairman and managing director (CMD) of GAIL, in a recent interview, has stated that the so-called unrest, agitation and apprehension in the minds of farmers have been created by vested interests. The work on the pipeline started after initial consultation, mutual discussions and after arriving at an understanding with the Tamil Nadu government and with its cooperation, GAIL has, in fact laid more than 70kms of gas pipeline on farmland.
To appease the farmers, it appears the Tamil Nadu government has now proposed that GAIL must reroute the laying process and align it with the highways. Such a change—laying the gas pipeline along with highways—entails several risks, that of safety, security, maintenance etc. Even the process of laying the pipeline would totally disrupt the movement of goods and services during the construction, besides being costly. In addition, such a move would mean that the gas lines would have to be below the national highways, on which heavy loads of traffic will pass!
GAIL, failing to receive an encouraging response from the Tamil Nadu government, has now resorted to take up the issue through the Madras High Court. GAIL feels there is no other alternative means to resolve the issue, though they are keen to sit across with the state government and find a solution to the problem.
Tamil Nadu government must realise that this gas pipeline will bring in much needed gas to the power starved state. Their own revenue will also come in the form of 4 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscmd) of gas to cover the taxes and other levies.
Readers of Moneylife may recall that Tamil Nadu Government had made objections in regard to the development of CBM (coal bed methane), as the Tamil Nadu Pollution Board (TNPB) had not given clearance to the project, though the work on this has been going on for a couple of years. In this particular case, it will be another 60 days or so before we know the recommendations of a Committee appointed for investigating this matter. Such delays only harm the national progress.
GAIL's work on the gas pipeline is also stuck in the same manner, which has followed the laid down procedure of the government, and this interference by Tamil Nadu government cannot be accepted, as it reflects on its poor ability to sort out the mess created by vested interests.
Hopefully, we expect the Court to direct the Tamil Nadu government to assist GAIL in completing the project on time and to take care of the leaders of the agitators.

In response to Moneylife campaign for better disclosure of PMS data, a SEBI official has written to us defending the regulator's stance. Here are the watchdog's arguments, and our rebuttal
For nearly two years, Moneylife has battled the regulator to get information on the performance of portfolio management services (PMS) through Right to Information (RTI) application. Our effort started with the discovery that one investor has lost a whopping Rs1 crore (Read: Sordid tales) in a single action of gross mis-selling and a doctor couple whose nest egg halved in PMS (Read: Bad experience). The Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI), which swears by a 'disclosure'-based regime, thwarted our attempt to collect PMS data at every turn. We filed an RTI request, which was turned down. We appealed to the Central Information Commission (CIC), who ordered SEBI to put PMS information in the public domain (Read: Power of RTI: CIC directs SEBI to disclose all information related to PMS). Even that order has not been followed in spirit.
So we did more work. We struggled to compile the information that was available. We filed another RTI seeking data on a compact disk, as if it is parting with state secrets. SEBI refused. We then conducted a survey to get reactions from PMS investors and compiled it all in our cover story (Read over cover story here : Portfolio Management Schemes: Will Your Portfolio Blow Up?). Finally, SEBI has woken up, but in anger. Amritha S Naik, an assistant manager at the Investment Management Department wrote to us defending SEBI's position on niggardly disclosure and claiming that it was doing plenty for investors. Read the full letter below.
Incidentally, her predecessor was in touch with us when we started our campaign, but quickly clammed up and refused to respond, like all official channels of SEBI. Ms Naik's letter too has not been routed through the communications department. We are not even sure whether mid-level SEBI officials are allowed to dash off letters to the media on their own on a selective basis. Here are the some of the main points of Ms Naik's letter and our rebuttal.
"Minimum investment per client increased from Rs5 lakh to Rs25 lakh so that only sophisticated investors can have access to such services".
Moneylife: We wonder what is SEBI's definition of "sophisticated". The PMS investors that Moneylife has come across and who have lost money are indeed "sophisticated" but not necessarily 'sophisticated investors'. They are doctor, actors, singers, editors, marketing consultants, advertising gurus and IT experts. Do they understand financial products? No. In fact, they choose the PMS only because they want expert money management and are willing to pay for expertise that keeps their money safe and growing. Yet, a majority of them end up with pathetic returns or even lose a part of their principal. Will Ms Naik explain to us how a "higher networth" is equal to "more sophisticated understanding of products and markets". Do they mean that a Kareena Kapoor or a Sachin Tendulkar will have a terrific post-retirement career as experts in choosing the right financial products? Many years ago SEBI borrowed terms like "sophisticated" or "discerning" investors from the West and framed appropriately loose regulations for them. As the subsequent experience has shown, this assumption is all bunkum. This is why in UK and US, regulators have woken up to more instrusive regulation rather than hands-off, purely disclosure-based regulation. Maybe SEBI officials need to make a few more foreign trips to get the hang of where the global regulation is headed.
"With regard to PMS investors not having sufficient data to enable them to make an informed choice of a Portfolio Manager, we have tried to provide the available data in the best possible manner and in a way that is as informative as possible. We are also continuously working at making better information available from the perspective of PMS investors.
Moneylife: If SEBI is truly working to part with the data instead of trying to suppress it, why does SEBI continue to thwart our attempts to provide reliable information to hapless investors? SEBI has only started disclosing monthly PMS data after losing in an RTI appeal by Moneylife, and the data is hard to compile. It has also uploaded performance data only from January 2013. It is impossible to obtain data of every PMS given the site is pathetically slow and prevents easy comparison. More importantly, the performance needs to be compared with a benchmark. SEBI provides consolidated data of all schemes of a PMS, which is unusable by an investor. An individual needs to know how each scheme has performed and whether it has beaten its respective benchmark or not. This is available in the disclosure document sent to existing clients and SEBI. This should be made available. Even in the disclosure document, only three years worth of PMS data is available, unlike mutual funds which schemes' performance is disclosed from inception. Why can't the same thing be implemented for PMS schemes? But then, SEBI claims that every single PMS is individually customized, more about that later.
"The PMS is expected to individually and independently manage the funds of each client in accordance with the needs of the clients which does not partake the character of a mutual funds"… "One of the main factors hindering this is that the data in respect of PMS is not amenable to straightforward consolidation in view of the fact that PMS is essentially an individual-oriented and customised product rather than a group-oriented product. No units are issued and there is no NAV. Hence the data of various clients at a single PMS provider or across PMS providers is not amenable to consolidation, and thereby easy comparison…Disclosure Documents (DD) of the PMS are meant for the clients of the PMS. The portfolio managers are required to give access to DD to the clients through login id and password so that each client can view its portfolio, performance etc. The clients may not like to expose its portfolio to general public."
Nice claim, but if this is the case then:
Our research on the PMS data that we could lay our hands on reveals that the schemes of only two PMS companies have done consistently well in a three-year period. Many have performed erratically and some have not even performed at all. This information is only available in disclosure documents and our inquiry shows that no banker, who hawks PMS products, has access to this information or has compiled it for clients before recommending specific schemes. The recommendations are all a part of revenue deals between PMS companies and the banks. This can only be to the disadvantage of investors who are required to make a minimum investment of Rs25 lakh for PMS services, by SEBI's own diktat.
What is it so hard for SEBI officials to understand that investor can make an informed choice only by comparing the performance of different portfolio managers? Probably because SEBI either does not engage with investors directly or does so selectively. One can see how varied the performance of portfolio mangers can be in our analysis of 26 PMS companies. (Read: PMS Performance: The Good, the Average and the Ugly)
"Performance fees, if charged, shall be mandatorily on the basis of high-water mark principle." Moneylife: Again, performance fee is only a part of the fees paid to a portfolio manager. The total advisory or performance fee paid to portfolio managers may be a fixed charge on the quantum of the funds being managed (or) charges linked to portfolio return (or) combination of both This is mentioned only in the disclosure document. Our cover story mentioned that the fees are negotiable from client to client. Therefore, an individual with a higher corpus can negotiate a lower fee. However, this is not the only cost; there are other expenses like brokerage and transaction costs, depository fees etc. This could be the highest if the portfolio manager resorts to excessive churning. In our PMS survey (Read the 'Survey Findings' section over here), many investors claimed excessive churning. SEBI has still to issue an order in the case pertaining to the actress-singer Suchitra Krishnamurthi (Read HSBC loots Suchitra Krishnamoorthi after big promises of 24% returns) who suffered enormous losses because of such reckless churning. SEBI has failed to address the issue because it is probably not even aware of it. Or does not want to exercise its brains as regards what it means for investors, like many other issues. We have accessed and examined portfolios where PMS companies have excessively churned stocks as well as mutual fund investments to create losses in the books of investors.
Based on how ill-informed and untenable SEBI's arguments are, far from an apology, we demand that SEBI come down from its ivory tower, read the comments to our articles on PMS and engage with us in finding out facts, collating information and honestly redress genuine grievances about mis-selling, mismanagement and downright cheating. We would also like it to respond to all our reports on such mis-selling, not selectively. Only then will start justifying its role as a regulator.
Here is the letter we received from Ms Naik…
Dear Sir,
1. SEBI has taken various measures in the interest of investors of the Portfolio Management Services (PMS). Some of the measures taken by the SEBI in recent past are as under:
i. Minimum investment per client increased from Rs5 lakh to Rs25 lakh so that only sophisticated investors can have access to such services.
ii. Segregation of unlisted securities in individual client accounts.
iii. Raising the minimum net-worth requirement for Portfolio Manager from Rs50 lakh to Rs2 crore excluding minimum capital adequacy/ net -worth requirement for any other activity.
iv. Performance fees, if charged, shall be mandatorily on the basis of high-water mark principle.
v. The PMS is expected to individually and independently manage the funds of each client in accordance with the needs of the clients, which does not partake the character of a mutual funds.
2. You are aware that PMS is in many ways different from Mutual Fund. Some of the major differences are given as under:
i. In contrast to Mutual Funds, in case of PMS no pooling is allowed and no unit is issued
ii. PMS products are meant for investors with higher net-worth, and who are generally understood to be having more sophisticated understanding of the market and products.
iii. The relationship between portfolio manager and the client is contractual in nature and PMS is expected to provide customized service taking into consideration the need of customers, his preferences, risk profiling, suitability etc.
iv. The PMS is expected to individually and independently manage the funds of each client in accordance with the mandate of the client which is rather different from the character of a mutual fund.
v. The performance of the portfolio manager for various clients will be different as investment philosophy, need, preference, risk taking ability, choice of different products, mandate etc. are different for different clients.
vi. Disclosure Documents (DD) of the PMS are meant for the clients of the PMS. The portfolio managers are required to give access to DD to the clients through login id and password so that each client can view its portfolio, performance etc. The clients may not like to expose its portfolio to general public.
3. With regard to PMS investors not having sufficient data to enable them to make an informed choice of a Portfolio Manager, it is stated that we have tried to provide the available data in the best possible manner and in a way that is as informative as possible. We are also continuously working at making better information available from the perspective of PMS investors. One of the main factors hindering this is that the data in respect of PMS is not amenable to straightforward consolidation in view of the fact that PMS is essentially an individual oriented and customised product rather than a group oriented product. No units are issued and there is no NAV. Hence the data of various clients at a single PMS provider or across PMS providers is not amenable to consolidation, and thereby easy comparison.
4. And, finally the language and tone used in your article is unacceptably offensive. Characterising the SEBI staff as "corrupt" is really most unbecoming of your magazine. While constructive suggestions and criticisms are welcome, the use of defamatory expressions should be totally eschewed. The least we expect from you is an unqualified apology and no more repetition of this kind in future.
Yours faithfully,
Amruta S. Naik
Assistant Manager

Discussion in 'Off Topic' started by ThyPhon, Jun 23, 2014.
There is exactly 1 hour and 20 minutes !
What do you think? Who wins?
Regarding the group qualification is not that important seeing the fact that both teams have already been qualified but nevertheless this will be one interesting match to see. I hope the Netherlands will win.
This will be an enjoyable game
It might be very important. Since Brazil will most likely win group A (unless Cameroon wins against them, which I doubt), the winner of group B can evade Brazil in the 1/8 finals - which totally makes sense.
Separate names with a comma.

To be done right, you have to spend time building relationships with high quality partners, while also getting the right volume of content distributed.
You have to establish relationships in your market or industry that can help get your content to the right audience; however, publishers and partners are not interested in one-time, or ad-hoc relationships. They will want to verify the quality of your content and only partner with companies that can produce enough quality content on an ongoing basis to make that relationship worth their time.
Unless you are a Fortune 1000 business, chances are you do not have the in-house expertise, time, or assets to effectively execute this type of campaign. Developing relationships with the right channels to get your content distributed requires a lot of time, knowledge, patience, and a great sales pitch.
But relationships are only half the battle. The content you distribute also needs to be structured properly if you want it to drive search engine equity back to your website. This is why we incorporate a distribution and outreach program into all of our marketing campaigns. It allows us to maximize the overall SEO value of your content, while also placing content with partners that can drive direct traffic, leads, and sales back to your website.
This is just a taste of the challenge businesses face when trying to set-up an effective distribution and outreach program.
Main Path generates a lot of quality content each month across all of its clients. Therefore, Main Path has "buying power" with major publications, local news outlets, niche blogs, industry-specific media hubs, and other websites. We leverage this buying power to negotiate deals with all of these different distribution options. These sites want a steady flow of content, not just a couple of one-off pieces each year. So, just like any company who deals in volume, Main Path gets these sites to listen to us and to establish an ongoing relationship that we can leverage for all of our clients.
As we have mentioned though, establishing these distribution relationships is just half the battle. Main Path ensures that your content not only gets placed on the right types of websites, but also is optimized to drive the most equity back to your website. Getting a link (structured properly) pointing back to your website, from an authoritative and relevant website, is like gold in the eyes of search engines. Many publishers have very strict requirements on what types of links can point back to target sites. Main Path structures relationships with these publishers so that we can extract the most value possible for our clients and link building services.
Every piece of content that Main Path generates for its clients has a specific purpose. Some content pieces are designed to live on the client's website, while others are created for distribution to major publications, niche or industry-specific websites. Every piece of content we generate has a designated distribution and outreach effort assigned to it through our data-driven formulas. We have put a lot of thought into how to conduct an effective distribution and outreach program for our clients and have built a process that drives results for our clients.

Jason Segel Saturday Night Live
November 21, 2011 by staff
Jason Segel Saturday Night Live, During their lukewarm cold open, in which Jason Sudeikis played a "raw and unleashed" version of Mitt Romney (and by raw and unleashed they meant, wore a leather jacket and made "Obama hair" jokes,) it seemed like it was going to be business– or in this case, politics– as usual for Saturday Night Live. Then, as we'd all hoped, the Muppets showed up!
No, they weren't hosting. (Though, they pondered why they weren't. First the Oscars, now this!) Rather, they'd stopped by to help out their pal Jason Segel, who was having his first go as SNL host. After the beaming Segel hit the stage, he told the audience he couldn't put his genuine excitement into words. Lucky for him, there was a piano and the Muppets–namely Kermit, Miss Piggy, Rowlf, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, and Scooter–nearby to give him some assistance. During the sweet, bouncy little tune, titled "I Can't Believe I'm Hosting SNL", Segel lived out two of his lifelong dreams at the same moment: Hosting the late night show and hanging out with his beloved Muppets. If this opening monologue–which included some great zingers from the Muppets aimed towards Lorne Michaels and Segel himself ("When people go to a Muppet movie, they say, 'Gee, I can't wait to see the human!")–was any indication of how funny, heartfelt and nostalgic The Muppets will be, I think we're all in for a treat come Wednesday. Watch the full clip, including Kermit's spot-on impression of Ray Romano and a visit from Statler and Waldorf,

Mining Publication: Multiple-Seam Mining in the United States: Background
Original creation date: May 2007
Studies have estimated that 156 billion tons of coal, representing two-thirds of the minable reserves in the United States, are subject to multiple-seam mining. In some U.S. coalfields, particularly in central Appalachia and the West, the majority of today's mines are operating above and/or beneath previously mined seams. The effects of multiple-seam interactions can include roof falls, rib spalling, and floor heave, which can seriously disrupt mining operations and threaten the safety of miners. In early 2006, a West Virginia coal miner was killed by rib roll that occurred in a high-stress zone beneath a remnant structure in an overlying mine [MSHA 2006]. Fortunately, not every multiple-seam situation results in hazardous conditions. Indeed, the vast majority do not. Accurate prediction of which interactions are likely to be higher-risk allows mine planners to prepare for them or avoid them. Over the years, multiple-seam mining has been the subject of much research, both in the United States and abroad. Much advice on how to mitigate the risk has been presented, but unfortunately it is often contradictory. For example, one group of researchers wrote that "stresses from superincumbent workings are not transferred through shale strata for distances of over 110 ft" [Haycocks et al. 1982], while another group indicated that "a stress transfer distance of 760 ft has been recorded between longwalls" [Haycocks et al. 1992]. For the past several years, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has been conducting research to develop better techniques for predicting the location and severity of multiple-seam interactions. During this investigation, more than 50 mines were visited across the U.S. coalfields. The study also made extensive use of numerical models, particularly the LaModel family of software [Heasley and Agioutantis 2007]. This paper presents the background to that study. The results of the study are discussed by Mark et al. [2007].

Granny's Best Buns Recipe
When it came to baking, my granny was the absolute tops. I have seen her create culinary masterpieces in a gas oven, produce cakes and pastries that would have made the angels weep from a cantankerous old wood stove, and make an absolute disaster of the kitchen in the process. It didn't really matter what she made, it was inevitably superb, from her roast beef with Yorkshire Pudding, replete with juicy roast drippings, to the simple but simply amazing bread pudding topped with her signature golden, mile-high meringue.
...and the mess she created in the kitchen was equally legendary. Her passage through a kitchen could be likened to the path of a tiny, implement-wielding hurricane. Given the unfailing high quality of the offerings, it was really no chore to be on KP. Once you became accustomed to the seeming-destruction she left in her wake, you could see that it was nothing that couldn't be set to right with some concentrated effort and elbow-grease, though. She hadn't really used every pot, bowl, and tool in the kitchen, it just appeared as if she had - and we were, after all, quite used to it.

Sweet Rolls - Quick Method
I never truly understood what was so quick about about this method, The buns take quite some time to rise properly. Then, of course, you must punch them down, etc., etc. Nor are they particularly sweet. That, however, is the section in the cookbook that contains this particular recipe...and, in all fairness this method is faster than the alternative, overnight method.
They are so light and delicate, yet they hold together equally well when stuffed to overflowing with delicious, home-made chicken salad, or piled high with cold cuts, crowned with crisp lettuce and garden-fresh sliced tomatoes.
- 1 tsp Quick yeast
- 2 cups milk, scalded and cooled to just warm
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter or cooking oil
- 1 egg, well beaten
- 1 tsp salt
- 51/2 - 6 cups sifted flour (or sifted bread flour)
Soften yeast in lukewarm milk
After yeast has worked , add beaten egg, oil or melted butter, sugar, and salt
Stir in sufficient flour to make a slurry. Continue adding flour until dough is soft but easily handled
Turn out onto lightly floured board and knead until smooth and elastic
Place in lightly greased bowl and cover with a clean cloth. Place bowl in a warm place and allow dough to rise until doubled in bulk.
Punch down and shape into buns. Bake according to the recipe you are using - usually fro plain buns, at about 400 - 425 F, for 20 - 25 minutes, or until light brown.
This basic recipe can be adapted fr fancy dinner rolls called "Shamrock Rolls" because of their shape. It is also the basis of the well-known "Parker House Rolls", distinguished by their fancy folded and slashed shapes as well as the slathers of melted butter with which they are brushed before baking.
You can also flatten the dough into a long thin rectangle and brush it with butter. Then sprinkle it with raisins, brown sugar and cinnamon, and roll up like a jelly roll. Slice into 1 - 1 1/2 inch pieces and place cut-side down in a baking pan that has been buttered and generously sprinkled with more brown sugar and cinnamon. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk. Bake at 300 - 375 F, for 25 minutes.
You may add pecans to the baking pan with the sugar and cinnamon for a crunchy treat.

...And What's In Your Lunch?
This particular bun recipe was quite a hit at school as well. My then husband was the most popular guy in the staff room come lunch time. I didn't find this out 'til some months later, though.
When I first took up baking, as the stay-at-home mom of a young toddler, I was gratified that my first efforts met with success. I had yet to master the art of pastry - that was to come some years later - but I seemed to have just the right knack for bread and buns.
At first I simply doubled my bread recipe, and made four loaves plus several dozen buns. The idea was that the extra buns would be frozen for later consumption. This worked fairly well at first, but the buns tended to dry out a bit, so I decided to try to find a recipe that would freeze better and for a slightly longer time.
From the first batch, Granny's Best Buns were a big hit. As well, because they rose so much faster than the bread recipe, I could bake a single batch of bread, freeze two loaves for the rest of the week, and have a double batch of the buns baked in less time than it had taken me to bake all of the double batch of bread.
The buns were a welcome replacement in the lunch bag, and I was especially pleased when I was asked to make an extra sandwich. This continued fro several weeks, and then I was asked for two extra sandwiches. Though it was grand that my buns were such a success, I was now forced to make double my double batch to keep up with the added demand.
After another few weeks of this, I laughingly commented, "My goodness, It's so nice that you like the buns. You are certainly eating a big lunch!"
My spouse rather sheepishly replied, "Oh, no. They're not for me. I'm bringing them for the other staff. They really like your baking."
I fear I replied rather tartly that perhaps the other staff might like to contribute to our larder, seeing as we had been feeding them lunch every day for the past couple of months. After that, he took his normal couple of buns for lunch.
My position as unwitting benefactress to the school staff's unofficial "lunch program" may have suffered after that, but my reputation as a top-notch baker was never in question, and any school bake sale or pot luck was always the recipient of at least a dozen or two of the much-loved buns along with the other goodies.
This is also one a most versatile recipes, as it can be turned out as a savory or a sweet with the simple addition of herbs and spices, or a savory or sweet filling. I am particularly fond of using a mixture of ricotta cheese mashed with a drift of nutmeg, a sprinkle of icing sugar, and chopped, preserved citron.
Another yummy combination is tender cooked beef or chicken, sliced fine, with caramelized onions, all tossed in just enough smoky teriyaki sauce to moisten. A spoonful of this gently rolled into the center of a bun and baked 'til golden brown is heavenly hot from the oven or served cold the next day - if you have any left to serve the next day, that is.

Yummy yummy! I guess I should just write a shopping list...and I might suggest you keep a close eye on your freezer lol...you might have a few fellow hubbers stalking your pantry :P
All of a sudden I'm really hungry despite the fact that I just ate like 2 hours ago...I wonder why? Great hub! I'm not experienced in baking but I might give this a try. What's the worse thing that can happen? Don't answer that please.
Ooooh yum! I would have loved a granny like yours...come to think of it even a friend who bakes will do! :)
All sounds and looks great. Hubby can bake decent bread but I have never tried. He too though, like your granny, is a messy hurricane in the kitchen
I have added this page to my recipe folder in my favorites
Thank you
..Oh gosh you're making me hungry 'cos only granny has the best buns in town!
You are awesome! This all makes me so hungry! liked and shared :)
Great hub. LOve it.
Now I just have to learn how to make these using whole wheat flour. I so love bread but as I am "maturing" carbs seem to stick better than the dough they come from and not in the right places.
Hey RedElf, this is a recipe hub I've not come across, yet it seems to remind me of my grandmother's cooking. :) My grandmother made almost everything from scratch and it was always a wonderful sitting, regardless of what she made. I just enjoyed watching her do it and managed to learn a few things which helped when my father decided to teach me how to cook. My mother was pretty damn good at baking things, such as this and I learned from her as well. Thank you for sharing such an excellently written hub. :) I'm glad I had the pleasure of reading it. :) Voted up! :)

MUSIC VIEW; When a Big House Engulfs a Small Opera
By Donal Henahan
Published: October 4, 1987
TO PARAPHRASE GEORGE BER-nard Shaw, I have been to the Metropolitan Opera three times in a week and I still live. To open the 1987-88 season, the company offered ''Otello'' as an hors d'oeuvre for Verdi lovers, then lured us to Massenet's ''Manon'' and Strauss's ''Ariadne auf Naxos.'' Only the ''Ariadne,'' though vocally uneven and often downright frustrating, stays brightly in mind, which might seem odd. After all, of the three, the Strauss is the one least at home in the Metropolitan Opera House.
Despite its rich-sounding orchestration and a final scene that demands mock-Wagnerian heroics by a dramatic soprano and equally robust tenor, ''Ariadne'' remains at heart a gleeful little satire on conflicting social and musical manners. Alternately delicate and raucous, it calls for a small orchestra (the Met, faithful to the composer's intent, uses 38 players). So, to make a proper effect in a house with a seating capacity of nearly 4,000, the wit must often be splashed on in primary comic-book colors. To the extent that a production tries to avoid such exaggeration, it runs the danger of sending a large part of the Met's grand-opera audience into a sleep as deep as the one enjoyed on stage by the entertainment's parvenu patron. So, it is somewhat surprising that the intricate comedy devised by Strauss and his librettist, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, has always enjoyed a loyal following, considering how few of its admirers can have experienced a thoroughly satisfactory performance other than on records.
Sarah Caldwell, in her bilingual New York City Opera staging for a considerably smaller theater than the Met, responded to the problem of large-house reality by turning the work's Commedia dell'arte giddiness into outright burlesque. That certainly made good theatrical sense. There is, however, a well-argued, seriocomic subtext to ''Ariadne'' that slapstick productions can only obscure. Strauss and von Hofmannsthal, that argumentative couple, set up a highly improbable conflict between two performing troupes, one popular and the other classical, and resolved the esthetic differences in practical theatrical terms without coming down finally for either side.
''Ariadne'' is thus a precursor in a sense of the dialectical philosophizing in ''Capriccio,'' a more fragile Strauss work in which seemingly irreconcilable artists argue with exquisite subtlety and religious fervor the relative importance of music and poetry. I am a fancier of ''Capriccio'' and most other late Strauss, but I hope never to see it blown up to fit the proportions of the Metropolitan Opera House. Not that, under the present Metropolitan management, there is any real fear of that or much else in the way of dangerous living.
But where does that leave the sizable audience that frequents only this house because it has been taught over the years to believe that what the Metropolitan does not present is not worth hearing? That public is impoverished by not knowing, let alone taking to heart, many modestly scaled masterpieces that enliven smaller opera houses all over the civilized world: Janacek's ''Cunning Little Vixen'' and ''Katya Kabanova,'' Pergolesi's ''Serva Padrona,'' Rimsky-Korsakov's ''Tsar's Bride,'' Britten's ''Turn of the Screw'' and ''Albert Herring,'' Handel's ''Acis and Galatea,'' Monteverdi's ''Orfeo'' and ''Coronation of Poppea''. . .the list is endless.
Perhaps as unfortunate as such gaps, however, is the fact that many works regularly or occasionally presented on the Metropolitan's stage do not belong in a space where half a dozen touch-football games could be played simultaneously. To some degree, most 18th-and early 19th-century operas, including all of Mozart with the possible exception of ''Idomeneo'' and ''La Clemenza di Tito,'' suffer serious distortions of sense and sensibility.
Even the middle and late Romantics -Bellini, Rossini and Donizetti - may be woefully misrepresented. It is not fully appreciated how closely the much-deplored decline of bel canto is connected to the expansion in theater size that began late in the last century. And yet, that must be a major factor: ask any singer who has come directly to the Metropolitan after making a career in the small houses that still exist in many European cities.
Off and on, for at least the last 20 years, the Metropolitan has toyed with projects intended to ease this problem. Rise Stevens's spunky National Company, which might have helped, was scuttled in 1966 by Rudolf Bing and a hostile board after two seasons. Seven years later, the Mini-Met survived just one.
In recent years, James Levine has talked - through his hat, it sometimes seemed - of establishing a small satellite house in which the Met could experiment with new works and stage offbeat repertory. The idea, it now appears, was a dream balloon whose effect was to distract attention from the company's increasingly stagnant policies. Ideally, the Metropolitan should be two theaters. The present one, now officially named the Sybil Harrington Auditorium, in honor of a wealthy donor, would be reserved for Zeffirelli and Ponnelle extravaganzas. In the more modest second house, we could hope to hear an ''Ariadne'' at close quarters. Or a ''Figaro,'' a ''Cosi,'' an ''Entfuhrung.'' Or even a genuinely conversational ''Capriccio.'' Sweet dreams, opera fans.

Hello Chowhound,
Frequent lurker, lazy poster, retired badger (now living in Canada) here. I will be celebrating my birthday in Madison, WI with 9 of my friends during a conference. I originally thought of The Old Fashioned, but unfortunately they don't take reservations; being this a Saturday, I don't want my guests to become impatient.
My favorite restaurants in town (after living 7 years) are Lombardinos and Lao Laan Xang. Unfortunately, we don't have transportation to go either; my folks would not be patient enough to walk more than 500 ms. We'll be in the campus area, and will need a festive, fun, not too stuffy place to hang out. Where shall we go?

Ichimaru Gin amused me in this episode... hes so full of bloodlust, yet he holds such sentimental feelings towards Rangiku. When she grabbed his wrist, it showed a slight bit of his reaction in his eyes, I bet he was ready to lop off the persons head that grabbed him then it turned out to be Rangiku and he quickly surrendered.

Byakuya suddenly became very human and emotional. A tricky situation indeed. But his; hold my hand "little sister" and that stuff was a little too much. If I was Ichigo I would tease him for that for quite some time.
It is the women who´s been dominating these last episodes. They´ve been saving the day (aka lives) a lot of times now.
By the way, that "3 Guardians part" what happened at that time in the manga?

I wonder what Gin is up to as well. Not having read the manga, from his actions up to now, I can only conclude he is following his very own agenda - not necessarily resulting in being Aizen's underling, but rather seeming like he is riding along the stream at the moment.
I think the reactions to Rangiku in specific show that there might be more to him than just being Aizen's right hand. I am most interested in learning of the background they share (in the anime, not the manga. Please no spoilers ).
What impresses me most is the level of character development that has taken place. It is not like "oh well, these guys turned evil. So there!", but more like each seems to have his individual reasons. Same goes for the fights beforehands. Must be why Bleach is by far my favourite show
I like how Komamura stepped up in the beginning of the ep - full of righteous anger. Sad to see him fail so easily, but then again, Aizen's earlier opponents didn't look too good either

hmm......i don't think so.......cause Aizen was waiting to get that thing out of Rukia before trying to fuse with a hollow so that he would keep his sanity.

I am happy how it turned out. I was kind missing the whole hollow part of the series and now it looks like they are getting back on track. I am very curious to see what Ichigo and the rest of the gang will do.
P.S. I miss my avatar and signatur cant believe they both gone.

on another note, I felt that byakuya sudden emotional change seemed kind of artificial to me. How the hell can he do everything he's done without showing any emotion? It just didn't seem right at all.

What happened with Ichigo's sword is different IMHO: Ichigo thought to have stabbed Aizen but Aizen's hypnotism made Ichigo think Aizen was a little forward to his real position and so Ichigo stopped his sword himself before reaching the "true" Aizen and at that point Aizen had an easy time to show off his theoretical godly status.
It's the same happened with the fox captain: he directed his bankai against a fake Aizen and then he realized all of a sudden that Aizen was right under him and fox captain didn't have any time to escape Aizen black box. I think that, if Aizen didn't want, the fox captain couldn't even have realized that Aizen was under him and the one he targeted was just a mere fake.
As I wrote in the Aizen's speculations thread, I think that with a techinque like complete hypnosis it doesn't matter how strong an enemy is, if you can control him like a puppet you will always be able to manipulate him like you wish.
So I think Aizen has a godly techinque, but it isn't like he's god by himself, without that techinque he would be just a very strong shinigami... he couldn't be taken down by Rukia of course, but he wouldn't be able to do such a total ownage we've seen in the latest two episodes.

I also loved the moment matsumoto "hugged" gin. It would seem that the matsumoto was the one thing in the soul society that gin would miss.
"If only you held me longer" was what gin said. Would rangiku be able to stop gin if she tried hard enough?

Greenbelt MD (SPX) Jul 22, 2014
While the moon's surface is battered by millions of craters, it also has over 200 holes - steep-walled pits that in some cases might lead to caves that future astronauts could explore and use for shelter, according to new observations from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft.
The pits range in size from about 5 meters (~5 yards) across to more than 900 meters (~984 yards) in diameter, and three of them were first identified using images from the Japanese Kaguya spacecraft. Hundreds more were found using a new computer algorithm that automatically scanned thousands of high-resolution images of the lunar surface from LRO's Narrow Angle Camera (NAC).
"Pits would be useful in a support role for human activity on the lunar surface," said Robert Wagner of Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona.
"A habitat placed in a pit -- ideally several dozen meters back under an overhang -- would provide a very safe location for astronauts: no radiation, no micrometeorites, possibly very little dust, and no wild day-night temperature swings." Wagner developed the computer algorithm, and is lead author of a paper on this research now available online in the journal Icarus.
Most pits were found either in large craters with impact melt ponds - areas of lava that formed from the heat of the impact and later solidified, or in the lunar maria - dark areas on the moon that are extensive solidified lava flows hundreds of miles across. In ancient times, the maria were thought to be oceans; "maria" is the Latin word for "seas."
Various cultures have interpreted the patterns formed by the maria features in different ways; for example, some saw the face of a man, while others saw a rabbit or a boy carrying a bundle of sticks on his back.
The pits could form when the roof of a void or cave collapses, perhaps from the vibrations generated by a nearby meteorite impact, according to Wagner. However, he noted that from their appearance in the LRO photos alone, there is little evidence to point to any particular cause.
The voids could be created when molten rock flowed under the lunar surface; on Earth, lava tubes form when magma flows beneath a solidified crust and later drains away.
The same process could happen on the moon, especially in a large impact crater, the interior of which can take hundreds of thousands of years to cool, according to Wagner. After an impact crater forms, the sides slump under lunar gravity, pushing up the crater's floor and perhaps causing magma to flow under the surface, forming voids in places where it drains away.
Exploring impact melt pits would pin down the nature of the voids in which they form. "They are likely due to melt flow within the pond from uplift after the surface has solidified, but before the interior has cooled," said Wagner. "Exploring impact melt pits would help determine the magnitude of this uplift, and the amount of melt flow after the pond is in place."
Exploring the pits could also reveal how oceans of lava formed the lunar maria.
"The mare pits in particular would be very useful for understanding how the lunar maria formed. We've taken images from orbit looking at the walls of these pits, which show that they cut through dozens of layers, confirming that the maria formed from lots of thin flows, rather than a few big ones. Ground-level exploration could determine the ages of these layers, and might even find solar wind particles that were trapped in the lunar surface billions of years ago," said Wagner.
To date, the team has found over 200 pits spread across the melt ponds of 29 craters, which are considered geologically young "Copernican" craters at less than a billion years old; eight pits in the lunar maria, three of which were previously known from images from the Japanese Kaguya orbiter; and two pits in highlands terrain.
The general age sequence matches well with the pit distributions, according to Wagner.
"Impact melt ponds of Copernican craters are some of the younger terrains on the moon, and while the maria are much older at around three billion years old, they are still younger and less battered than the highlands. It's possible that there's a 'sweet spot' age for pits, where enough impacts have occurred to create a lot of pits, but not enough to destroy them," said Wagner.
There are almost certainly more pits out there, given that LRO has only imaged about 40 percent of the moon with appropriate lighting for the automated pit searching program, according to Wagner. He expects there may be at least two to three more mare pits and several dozen to over a hundred more impact melt pits, not including any pits that likely exist in already-imaged areas, but are too small to conclusively identify even with the NAC's resolution.
"We'll continue scanning NAC images for pits as they come down from the spacecraft, but for about 25 percent of the moon's surface area (near the poles) the sun never rises high enough for our algorithm to work," said Wagner. "These areas will require an improved search algorithm, and even that may not work at very high latitudes, where even a human has trouble telling a pit from an impact crater."
The next step would be to tie together more datasets such as composition maps, thermal measurements, gravity measurements, etc., to gain a better understanding of the environments in which these pits form, both at and below the surface, according to Wagner.
"The ideal follow-up, of course, would be to drop probes into one or two of these pits, and get a really good look at what's down there," adds Wagner. "Pits, by their nature, cannot be explored very well from orbit -- the lower walls and any floor-level caves simply cannot be seen from a good angle.
Even a few pictures from ground-level would answer a lot of the outstanding questions about the nature of the voids that the pits collapsed into. We're currently in the very early design phases of a mission concept to do exactly this, exploring one of the largest mare pits."
The research was funded by NASA's LRO project. Launched on June 18, 2009, LRO has collected a treasure trove of data with its seven powerful instruments, making an invaluable contribution to our knowledge about the moon. LRO is managed by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

In the world of CET Designer, we often talk about Catalogues and Extensions. Not everyone knows that CET stands for Configura Extension Technology and that it is the foundation of our business. We've previously written about the many benefits of creating a Catalogue but, in this blog post, we wanted to explain the many benefits with creating an Extension.
First, what is an Extension?
Most commonly, an Extension is a collection of a manufacturer's products that they want to use in CET Designer. The difference between a Catalogue and an Extension is that the products in an Extension can contain programming code while a Catalogue is database driven. By using programming code, products in an Extension can be smart – product rules are built in so the user doesn't have to know how the product can be configured and is visually presented with all options on the screen. The product can intuitively be stretched and configured based on the rules that have been programmed.
An Extension can also be more than just products
Contrary to Catalogues, an Extension doesn't solely have to contain products. Because an Extension can contain programming code, it can have additional functionality such as a connection to an ERP system, global schemes, the ability to create walkthrough videos, customized quoting, etc. Ultimately, anything that can be programmed can be added to an Extension.
Catalogues and Extensions are commonly combined
Most manufacturers don't create a pure Catalogue or Extension but a hybrid. This is done when products are first entered through Catalogues and then have programming code added to make them smarter. This saves time, since a data-driven solution means that many products can be entered faster, while still maintaining good user experience.
Using our Extension technology means we can create a multi-industry solution
CET Designer is the core program that powers our Extensions and the technology permits each user to pick and choose what Extensions should be added. This enables each user to create a customized version that can include multiple manufacturers' products – it could even be manufacturers from different industries. To better understand this, let's look at an example.
Manufacturer A manufacturers kitchen cabinets, manufacturer B manufacturers desks and manufacturer C manufacturers wall systems. With our Extension technology, each sales team can use their Extensions individually to sell their products. However, if the manufacturer permits external sales people and designers to sell their goods, a sales person or designer could use all three Extensions to sell an office space with a kitchen area and dividable wall system.
The same works for manufacturers of material handling and industrial machinery. An entire factory can be planned using conveyor belts from manufacturer D, robotic arms and cameras from manufacturer E and then layout pallet racking for storage from manufacturer F. All planning and calculations from multiple manufacturers can easily be done in one single program.

Jean-François Racine (born April 27, 1982 in Roxton Falls, Quebec, Canada) is a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender.
Playing careerEdit
Racine played junior hockey for the Drummondville Voltigeurs from 1999 until 2002. After his first season of junior, Racine was selected 90th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL) in the third round of the 2000 NHL Entry Draft. He turned professional with the Memphis RiverKings of the Central League in the 2002–03 season. In 2003–04, he moved up to the St. John's Maple Leafs of the American Hockey League, the top Maple Leafs affiliate. Racine stayed with the team when the St. John's team moved to Toronto to become the Marlies.[1]
While he has had many chances to play for the Leafs in the NHL, arguably outperforming Maple Leaf back-up Mikael Tellqvist during the 2005 training camp, he has still been relegated to the Marlies. Originally sharing the starting role with the Marlies with Tellqvist, the departure of Trevor Kidd as the prime back-up spot on the Leafs earned Tellqvist a promotion, with Racine earning the starting spot. The signing of Jean-Sébastien Aubin to the club, however, led to the two splitting the games 50/50. With the groin injury of Ed Belfour on December 12, 2005, Aubin was recalled to back up Tellqvist. Racine continued with the Marlies until 2007 when he joined Sherbrooke St. Francois of the LNAH.
He retired in 2009.

Kiara Lord – Kiara Lord
Released: May 30, 2014
Kiara takes the first few minutes to talk about two of her favorite things, yoga and pissing. She's definitely not shy about talking in front of the camera, eagerly sharing her enthusiasm without overdoing herself. Politely, she says, "I really hope you don't mind if I do it right now". We didn't mind at all. She stays in talky mode after she pees through her pink dress and wraps herself up in the wet throw rug. Twice, Kiara pees with her legs split into the air lying on the couch. Most notably, Kiara pees with her ass in the air while filmed from behind. It starts off as a small trickle and then launches beautifully into an angled stream. She adjusts her glasses, smiles, and waves goodbye with her fingers after her final pee.

George Soros and the Muslim Brotherhood
Mark Tapson|FrontPageMag
In a recent interview with prominent TV journalist Christiane Amanpour, who never misses an opportunity to promote repellent moral relativism about fundamentalist Islam, Middle East analyst Marwan Muasher declared, "The Muslim Brotherhood has been used for a long time as a scare tactic" (emphasis added). This eyebrow-raising dismissal of legitimate concerns about the world's largest Islamist movement went unchallenged by Amanpour – no surprise there – although Muasher did weakly concede this: "that is not to say they don't have designs."
"Designs" indeed. Nothing less ambitious than the downfall of the West and the establishment of a medieval dystopia known as the worldwide caliphate. Is it a mere scare tactic to point out that internal Brotherhood documents themselves reveal that the "elimination of Western civilization" is the Muslim Brotherhood's endgamel? Or that the Brothers' motto is: "Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. Qur'an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope"?
Considering these "designs," the group's swift, successful entrenchment around the globe, and its spawning of such alumni as current al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri, only the willfully naive or complicit could claim that the Brotherhood shouldn't be taken seriously as a threat.

A major milestone was achieved on May 18, when Legco accepted legislative changes to ban trawling in Hong Kong waters. This ban is needed to revitalise our seas for the benefit of the whole of Hong Kong, especially the long-ignored and beleaguered fishing community.
The next important milestone is tomorrow when Legco's finance committee decides whether to accept the steps and overall finance package needed to ensure the ban is successful.
Protests by offshore trawlers, in the harbour on May 15, and objections by other related industries such as ice providers have confused the main issue. The fact remains that our fishing community is in terminal decline, we are no longer in control of our supply of seafood and our marine life is at the point of no return. A full implementation of a ban on trawling, which has proved very successful in other countries, is needed now to redress the situation.
We understand that the affected fishermen will need wide support, and it is coming from the government and from businesses and green groups, such as Living Seas Hong Kong and WWF. With a ban on trawling and with government support there is real promise for jobs and new businesses in the marine sector, especially in the areas of eco-tourism, pleasure boats, recreational fishing, sustainable fishing and aquaculture.
Conservation efforts do not mean that people will necessarily be negatively affected, as new, exciting opportunities will open up. Finance committee members must ensure a vibrant future for our marine life and for the fishing industry in Hong Kong with a 'yes' vote. Any delays or indecision at this point could really be the final nail in the coffin.
David O'Dwyer, Living Seas Hong Kong

Center For Human Rights and Humanitarian Law
REPORT No 8/91
Case 10.180 (MEXICO)
22 February 1991
2. The issues raised
a. The position of the complainants
Where the exercise of any of the rights or freedoms referred to in Article 1 is not already ensured by legislative or other provisions, the States Parties undertake to adopt, in accordance with their constitutional processes and the provisions of this Convention, such legislative or other measures as may be necessary to give effect to those rights or freedoms.
Action for amparo does not lie in violations of political rights because these are not guarantees of the individual.
... my government will open up our democratic life. To this end I propose a new political covenant that will strengthen our unity and make room for our differences.
It must be a covenant that refines our electoral procedures, updates the rules for the governance of parties, and modernizes the practices of the parties to the political process, starting with the government itself.
My administration will respond to the demand of the citizens for respect of pluralism and real participation. The most urgently needed guarantee in the political sphere is the transparency of electoral processes. I share that concern of the citizenry. Let us guarantee to all that their political power, in the full measure of the free choice of the voters, will be counted and recognized by all parties. We urgently need trust, openness and acceptance of others.
b. The position of the Government of Mexico
Even in the case of political rights, if the act complained against may also involve the violation of individual guarantees, which cannot be determined a priori, a suit for amparo in connection with such violation must be admitted and heard in order to arrive at the appropriate rulings in the final judgment.
...it wishes to offer the Commission its arguments in proof that, if it were true that the state law impugned could have had the effect of depriving the citizens of Nuevo Leon of their political rights, there was in fact a higher remedy to be invoked and exhausted in the domestic law, that of amparo.
it cannot escape anyone that underlying this complaint... is a theme, that of the so-called inequality of participation, which is a basic point of the reform of political elections undertaken in Mexico by President Carlos Salinas de Gortari. The Mexicans are pinning great hopes on this intense nationwide review of the electoral laws. The Government of Mexico rests assured that the Commission, by the very nature of its functions, does not which that process to be hindered or to allow itself to be used as a political tool to frustrate its aims, which the Commission doubtlessly shares.
... private documents are also accepted, as are affidavits, declarations and even eyewitness accounts and records of events, duly certified by notaries public, justices of the peace and elected officials, polling station chairmen and secretaries...
3. Considerations
This Constitution, the laws enacted by the Congress of the Union under it, and all treaties that are in conformity with it and have been and are to be entered into by the President of the Republic with the approval of the Senate, shall be the supreme law of the Union. The judges of each state shall be governed by that Constitution and those laws and treaties, any conflicting provisions in the Constitutions and laws of the states notwithstanding.

London: Tottenham Hotspur beat Derby County 3-1 in the English Premiership on Monday, a result which moved Spurs up to 12th in the table and left Derby marooned back in 18th place. An early goal by Les Ferdinand was cancelled out by Fabrizio Ravanelli before Christian Ziege restored Tottenham's lead just before half-time. Gustavo Poyet made it 3-1 in injury time to give his side only their second win at home this season and consign Derby to their fifth consecutive defeat. Tottenham took the lead in the 10th minute, after a nice cross in from Christian Ziege, found Les Ferdinand, who powered the ball past derby's keeper. Derby managed to level the match five minutes later as Fabrizio Ravanelli slid a low shot beyond Neil Sullivan and just inside the far post for his fifth goal in nine games. Tottenham though took the lead once again five minutes before the break. Tottenham had to wait till the 67th minute before again coming close. But Taricco took too long as the Derby defence managed to pull off a crucial save from the six-yard line. Substitute Sergei Rebrov who came on in the 86th minute, took a shot at goal, but it was well saved by the Derby keeper. And then in injury time, the Spurs scored the final goal, after a mistake by Mawene saw the ball taken by Poyet, who chipped it from 25 yards only to see it sail over the Derby keeper and into the back of the net as Tottenham won the match 3-1.
