Mark Cuban says Donald Trump's $5 million challenge to Barack Obama was "one of the DUMBEST things ever" ... and now he's responding with a $1 MILLION challenge of his own.
Cuban appeared on Fox4 in Dallas last night ... and made the offer to Trump:
"Donald, you shave your head, $1 million to any charity you want," Cuban said.
Cuban says he's willing to up the offer to $2 million ... if it'll help seal the deal.
So far, Trump has yet to respond ... but let's get serious -- ain't gonna happen.

Masterchef Australia – It Was All A Bit Of An Anti-Climax
It was pretty predicatable what was going to happen tonight, as soon as Dani said about her banana fritters, that they were about a suburban Chinese restaurant as that was the direction she wanted to go. Images of bright red sweet and sour pork would not disappear. Unless Kate, Alana or Michael accidentally chopped their hand off in the kitchen Dani was always going to go home.
Tonight the challenge was for the contestants to cook their food autobiography. They had to cook three courses – which showed their childhood, formative years, and where they were right now. As regular commenter Skod said this challenge was straight from the Top Chef series. In fact it was the challenge that was set for the chefs in the finale of Top Chef Masters Season One.
It is not the first time a challenge has been pinched from Top Chef, it is such a great show I don't have a problem with that.
They were given three hours to cook. The challenge was such a big one it crossed my mind that it was always a possibility they were going to send all four to the elimination.
Alana cooked beautifully, but I found it disappointing she rehashed similar dishes to what she had cooked previously. For entree she made Yabby and Fennel Salad inspired by her childhood in Mildura. The only criticism of it came from Matt Preston who thought the dish was a bit busy. Matt Moran thought the yabbies were cooked perfectly.
For main she made smoked lamb cutlets however she said they were going to be different as she was giving them more middle eastern flavours than Greek flavours this time. I had always thought harissa which she used previously was middle eastern. We were not told how this dish was related to her formative years.
The lamb was perfectly cooked, and Gary brought out his Enid Blyton speak and called them "smashing".
For dessert she served up chocolate pudding which was the dish that got her into the top 24, however she said she was making it more restaurant quality. So she put gold leaf on it. To be fair it was a bit more sophisticated then that. Matt Moran said it was "hard to beat", and Gary moaned.
Michael's menu was a bit schizphrenic. He started off with pork called three little pigs, however only two were plated as his pork ribs were left in the oven. Again I was not sure what life stage of his this dish was showcasing. However because it was pork and it included a pigs head, at the judges urging, they loved it.
For any Masterchef wannabe contestants if in doubt cook pork for the judges. Next Michael plated up Duck Breast and Coleslaw with slow cooked egg. Gary couldn't decide whether he liked the dish. Matt Preston said it needed a sweetness like currents to bring the dish together. I am presuming this dish was about where he was now.
His last dish was fish and chips with mushy peas and a caper sauce. The caper sauce was dreadful, and Michael said he did not taste it. Pity it looked really good.
Kate's menu was the pick of the bunch it was original and looked fabulous. I laughed when she said at the judges table "I am just going to enjoy myself" and then cut to a shot of her looking petrified in front of the judges.
For entree she cooked smoked trout and apple salad with verjuice jelly. Matt Preston said it was a great dish.
The Spiced Pumpkin Tortellini with Prawns was based on her formative years, however we were not told how this was the case. Matt Preston thought it was a inspired dish. The only slight criticism was there was not enough burnt butter on it.
Finally for dessert she made caramelised white chocolate icecream sandwich. "A perfect dessert" said Matt Moran, and Gary moaned.
And now to Dani – her menu in theory sounded quite nice, and it told her autobiography, but it just all went horribly wrong. She blamed it on trying to do too much. It went pear shaped and she did not end up plating properly. She just plonked the tin of Black Sesame ice cream on the plate beside the banana fritter.
For entree she made Sweetcorn Veloute with Prawn Wontons and it did not look fabulous. Matt Preston said she cooked the corn soup too long. Matt Moran said "you could close your eyes and you would not know what you were eating". Ouch.
They praised her Braised Pork Belly with Vietnamese Scallop Salad – Matt M thought it was a great combination.
The banana fritters with black sesamae ice cream had a mixed response. The batter on the bananas were good, but no feedback on the main ingredient. Gary said it was not a well made ice cream as it was grainy and icey.
It was quick and painless and Dani was eliminated. She wants to open an Asian grocer with a food bar. However if you want to know what she is up to go to her website www.danivenn.com

I'm glad things finally came to a (lego)head.
- 2 alicia { 08.03.11 at 12:06 am }
Glad the right person has gone:)
- 3 Chunks { 08.03.11 at 12:41 am }
Still a long way from previous years in terms of serving consistent restaurant quality dishes I'm afraid. Hope poor Dani doesn't suffer Post-Traumatic Stress from all the social media loathing.
- 4 Jess { 08.03.11 at 1:06 am }
Kate's dessert was probably the most appetising thing I've seen all season.
- 5 Marie { 08.03.11 at 3:50 am }
Dani certainly did have her moments on the show! All the best to her but I am not even going to attempt to read anything on her website again until she finds someone to edit her grammar.
Kate's dessert looked fantastic!
- 6 PollyB { 08.03.11 at 7:14 am }
Alana cooks the same thing over and over. How many times can she make a bloody fennel salad.
- 7 smauge { 08.03.11 at 7:44 am }
If I see another bloody pork belly on this series I'll spew up.
- 8 Barbara { 08.03.11 at 8:00 am }
Incredible! Final four and one of them dumps a can of revolting looking ice cream on the table in front of the judges. To think that so many talented cooks were shown the door in order to keep Dani as close to the end as possible. Disgusting but at least she's gone. And Michael looks so petulant, time for him to go as well. I didn't have much time for Kate at the beginning but she's a winner!
- 9 smauge { 08.03.11 at 8:28 am }
It looked like clay didn't it Barbara? Everytime the opening credits starts I look at all of the good cooks sacrificed for Dani. They did it all wrong this season. I hope the return to last years winning formula next time.
- 10 Fedup { 08.03.11 at 8:36 am }
Right person left – now the remaining three have to pull more than same- o samw-o out of their frypans. Really is a disappointing show this one, watch the old series guys and work on your formula – less tears, less Judges favourite people staying in and some really awesome cooking may get more viewers next time. This series has been Days of Our Lives Food Wise!
- 11 Skod { 08.03.11 at 8:50 am }
Well her stuff looked quite despicable. Banana fritters? Really? That's street food in Malaysia/Singapore, even if you prettied it up.
Next season they should cut out all advice, to be fair to everyone. Just get the contestant's comments and that's it.
At least they didn't do the cut to commercial break for the elimination. Guess the editors wanted to see her gone.
- 12 Skod { 08.03.11 at 9:07 am }
Oh there were also a couple of moments I thought I was watching one of those parody movies, like a cooking show version of This is Spinal Tap. Kate going my favourite words.. open pantry.
I think she's been in there far too long.
- 13 seepi { 08.03.11 at 9:32 am }
michael's menu is just odd. starting with pork and finishing with fish. wierd.
- 14 Joseph Skyrim { 08.03.11 at 9:42 am }
Somewhat sad for Dani that she didn't cook well in her last challenge, because its obvious she -can- cook (just not as consistently as the remaining 3 though).
I like the idea of Alana doing dishes she already did, because you have already been practicing them and know how to improve them each time. Its a safe and strong strategy, better than picking something you've never attempted before. In the end, being a chef is all about repetition anyway if you think about it.
Can't wait for Sunday, then I can reclaim around 5 hours a week to do other stuff. 😛
- 15 Maz { 08.03.11 at 9:48 am }
My jaw dropped when Dani had about $100 worth of bananas on her bench waiting to be fried!!!
The general impression I got is that Dani didn't create the same hostility as say Sandra from S1 or Joanne from S2 but annoyance that the producers over-exposed her. So she should be okay post MC career wise.
Noticed in Coles that they had Alana's recipe out for her upside down apple tart (and nobody else's from the cookbook challanege). Does that mean she is in the top two?
Cookbook theories aside-Kate's book would be the one I would be interested in. Though Alana's could be called Refinement as she only seems to refine recipes not create anything new.
- 16 Emma { 08.03.11 at 10:53 am }
By smauge – "If I see another bloody pork belly on this series I'll spew up"
This. And bloody duck!!
I know Dani didn't go well last night but when they showed her best moments last night I had to laugh, she's such a wag and is pretty good value, I'd forgotten that. I hope she goes well with whatever she wants to do.
I agree that Michael's pork and fish was an odd combo ..
- 17 JaniceG { 08.03.11 at 11:03 am }
At last, Dani's luck runs out!!!
Frankly, I didn't care whether the episode was anti-climactic as I could easily watch Matt Moran in that outfit for an hour without getting bored at all :->
- 18 Fides { 08.03.11 at 11:10 am }
So bored last night. Even though it was all about the food, it was just a reflection of how little inspired I am by this bunch. Totally agree RR, it was all an anti-climax.
Agree that Alana plays safe and sticks to what she knows best – not saying it's a bad strategy, but compared to Kate, it doesn't seem like she's being that creative. Kate does look like she's progressed and her smoked trout salad was one of only two things this season which I would want to eat out of my tv (the other was Billy's Swiss roll). The recipe is up and it may be the only thing I will make from MC this season. So I've finally got someone to barrack for : Kate FTW!
They really need a regular female judge to counter the way the Danis and Ellies carry on. I noticed Gary said to Michael "why the hell didn't you put it in earlier " about his pork rack not being cooked in time. While that's not the most aggressive language he could have used, has he said that to Dani (eg why the hell didn't you prick your puff pastry?) or Ellie (why the hell did you buy a rabbit terrine?) ? I know in those instances he was annoyed or amused (in Dani's case) but I don't think he uses the same language with the girls. I could be wrong, just wondering if anyone else has noticed.
- 19 kingfisher { 08.03.11 at 11:19 am }
it is staged for a kate v micheal grand final they know alana just cooks the same " ELEMENTS " god i hate this word !!!! they love that micheal wants to be a future chef and they are grooming him as with kate she is the mummy cook and mummy cook's bring ratings, insn't that right Paul . I like micheal's honesty he just want's to change his career and learn .
- 20 Skod { 08.03.11 at 11:45 am }
Well at least Michael wasn't cooking chicken again.
Alana plays too safe, while Kate seems to be giving her all, like when she did the squab. But the final is more skill/tenacity than brilliance, so could go either way.
- 21 littlepetal { 08.03.11 at 11:53 am }
Kate has come a long way. She started the series with very basic cooking, like the coffee cake. Now she is dishing out beautifully plated dishes.
Alana needs to come up with some new dishes unless she is playing the game. Just be safe till you get to the Final 2 and then blow the judges away. Could backfire because she didn't get the chance to practice some of the other techniques and styles.
Michael need to dish the cooking technique using the vacuum pack and then cooking the meat in the waterbath. (Mental block at the moment and can't recall the exact term for this technique) He has used this technique many times and the dishes have never been a winner.
Dani-What can I say? Banana fritters never work in Australia. We just don't have the right bananas for it. It's not only the batter but the type of bananas is important. LOL when she blamed the fryer for not not enough!!! Didn't she realise that she should turn the fryer on earlier.
Also can't see how the fritters and ice – cream represent where she is now.
- 22 Culinary Boner { 08.03.11 at 12:05 pm }
Dani's wanton soup in callum custard.
Where can I get the recipe?
Oh, and I'd like one for elephantitis dick fritter as well.
- 23 Jruth { 08.03.11 at 12:08 pm }
Agree with Fides that a regular female judge is needed. Donna Hay said last year that it is too blokey, and she might not have been the right fit, but someone like Karen Martini would probably work well.
littlepetal – I think you are searching for "sous vide"!
I'm predicting that Michael will be the next to fall and it will be a Kate v Alana final on Sunday.
- 24 JaniceG { 08.03.11 at 12:17 pm }
I bet the producers are hoping for Kate to win: she's a natural on camera, she's articulate, and she's likable. I think she'd make a fairly good TV chef, as she's very clear when she's explaining what she's doing. I like Alana also, but she's a bit stiff in interviews – she probably would need to have everything rehearsed and unfortunately she's not very good at delivering scripted lines. I don't think Michael would be that great at public appearances at all: he gets thrown too easily and is not very articulate.
- 25 brain dead dave { 08.03.11 at 12:44 pm }
The concept of one of these reality tv contestants "winning" is as far fetched as Charlie's Sheen's "winning".
We're down to leftovers-a fox, a frump and a freak.
- 26 Rickard Lomez { 08.03.11 at 1:20 pm }
A frump!!!!! Kate is gorgeous, and sexy
- 27 Skod { 08.03.11 at 2:31 pm }
After seeing them for 3-4 months I don't think I can stand watching them on TV for a few years..

'The Young Ones', series 3, episode 1 "Stuffed"
Gary as Vyvyan Basterd, a punk headbanger whose quite polite to the ladies, but an ABSOLUTE BASTARD to the guys;
Matt P as Rick, a pretentious prat given to wearing 70s attire in an ironically non-ironic way and prattling on about sustainable eating whilst throwing plates, called Prick behind his back;
Matt Moran as Billy Balowski, a vegetarian butcher whose liverpool kiss and manic smile ensures he has the total respect of the others, known for his boning ability;
George as Mike, a ladies' man…no, make that a wee ladies' man, respected by the others for his profound sayings and constant puns (e.g boom, boom…shake the room), he is the glue that holds it all together, called Pants, as in Pants Man, behind his back; and,
Kylie Kwong as Neil, a depressed hippy… 'nuff said
Scene: On the set of a cooking competition.
Vyvyan notices one of the contestants Michael seems confused about how to put his pork in the oven and is ruuning his hands over his apron. Vyvyan runs up to him, shoves his face six inches from Michael's.
Vyvyan: "You Bastard!! You'll make the oven explode!"
Michael: "No I won't. Why don't you like me?"
Vyvyan: "Cos you're a complete bastard"
Michael: "Vyvyan, I'm being serious"
Vyvyan: "So am I. You're a complete bastard and we all hate you"
Michael: [chuckles and places hands on hips] "I find that very difficult to believe"
Vyvyan: "You wanna bet on it? I'll put down fifty quid"
Neil: "Yeah I will too"
Mike: "Count me in"
Rick: "Me too"
Banana fritter: "And me"
Their heads to turn to the table. A deformed banana fritter looks up at them, before it realises its mistake.
Vyvyan: "Who asked you?"
Banana fritter: "Us bananas have rights too, you know. I didn't ask to be made into a fritter"
Mike: "Well too bad you look like a walrus dick then"
Vyvyan begins violently hitting the fritter with a frypan, only pausing for breath on the 15th stroke, "Bloody hippy banana!"
Rick: "I blame the Tories. Bloody Thatcher."

I hated dani alot
I was happy when she went
But now i admit the others are as boring as hell
God why cant Alana or Michael be a bit more livelier and energetic
- 30 PollyB { 08.03.11 at 5:35 pm }
seepi – I agree. 'Western' style food, fish always come first for me.
Janice G – Mmmatt Moran did look scrummy last night didn't he!

See Alicia, don't wish too hard or you might get what you want and then wish you didn't have it. A lot is two words by the way.
- 32 Jo { 08.03.11 at 8:40 pm }
Dani kept calling herself an Asian expert but she never seemed to cook it all that well. And what kind of Asian expert hasn't cooked with tapioca before? Glad she's not in the top three. Alana is good but she's too safe. Michael is a little eccentric. I'm going for Kate.
- 33 littlepetal { 08.03.11 at 9:41 pm }
Agree with you, Jo. Very annoy when people use some fish sauce, palm sugar and lime juice and call that Vietnamese or Thai. I still question Dani Sri Lankan meal for the Dalai Lama because what is in the recipe and what she cooked didn't add up.
She used the coconut oil in the roti which I thought was a good idea. Coconut oil is semi solid in our weather and she did say melt the oil. But once the temp drop the oil will solidify again. Can't see how she soaked the roti dough in the coconut oil.
- 34 smauge { 08.04.11 at 6:55 am }
Alicia – I hope Michael was lively enough for you when he won last night's challenge LOL! I love an uninhibited celebration.

Super Puma crash: Five-year wait 'intolerable' for relatives
Sheriff Principal Derek Pyle's findings into the Super Puma crash which killed 16 men come almost five years after the North Sea tragedy.
Relatives say that wait has been "intolerable" - and they still want answers.
The Bond Super Puma crashed north east of Peterhead on 1 April 2009.
It suffered a "catastrophic" failure of the main gearbox during a flight from the Miller oil field to Aberdeen, and the crash left no survivors.
The rotor blades separated from the fuselage before the aircraft hit the water.
An eyewitness on board a nearby ship said he saw the helicopter falling "like a torpedo".
Sheriff Principal Pyle has now said precautions which might have avoided the deaths included following agreed procedures and communications.
He said the operators had considered replacing part of the gearbox after a fault was discovered just a week before the crash - but did not do so because of a failure of communication with the manufacturer.
He said: "The crash was a tragedy.
"Coupled with the other helicopter accidents in Scotland over the recent past, it has raised fundamental questions about the safety of helicopters, not least in the oil and gas industry of the North Sea.
"It cost the lives of 16 men. It has caused considerable public interest. It is therefore particularly important that whatever lessons can be learned from it are properly identified and acted upon."
Sheriff Pyle said: "During the course of the inquiry there was much discussion about the circumstances which led Bond not to follow the clear terms of the maintenance.
"Bond readily acknowledged that they ought to have done so.
"The essential fact is that everyone in the company well knew that maintenance must be done by the book.
"On one occasion, that fundamental rule was broken.
"It resulted in the failure to detect a significant fault in the helicopter's gearbox, which possibly - but only possibly - resulted in the crash."
He explained: "The whole object of impartial public inquiry is to get at the truth, to expose fault where fault is proven to exist, and in all cases to see to it so far as humanly possible that the same mistake, whether it arise through fault or any other reason, is not made in the future.
"The public interest, in whose names inquiries are held, requires and deserves no less."
'Too long'
He noted: "It is instructive to note that the Lockerbie fatal accident inquiry occurred in less than three years from the date of the crash - in contrast to this inquiry which was nearly five years.
"What can, I think, very properly be said is that nearly five years is on any view far too long and that we all have a responsibility for that.
"And that everyone concerned in future fatal accidents involving aircraft of whatever kind should do much better."
Sheriff Principal Pyle added: "No-one could not be moved by the courage of many members of the victims' families who sat through every day of the inquiry."
Audrey Wood, whose son Stuart died in the crash, said the five-year wait had been "intolerable".
"We the families feel let down by the system," she said.
Jim McAuslan, general secretary of the British Airline Pilots' Association (Balpa), said lessons had to be learned in an effort to prevent such tragedies in future.
Mechanical failures
He said: "The operator's maintenance failures which have been drawn out in both the AAIB report and today's FAI report are the main lesson for the industry - maintenance must never be treated lightly.
"Sadly, this accident was preventable, but not survivable, and the pilots had no chance to save the lives of the passengers due to the mechanical failures.
"Pilots are working with the CAA and operators to improve helicopter safety in the North Sea to ensure recommendations to raise and enforce standards are delivered, particularly as memories of recent accidents fade.
"We will be pushing the regulator and operators through our membership of the CAA's Helicopter Safety Review Group to ensure the lessons are learned."

Investors want to buy RBS's Williams & Glyn's
Royal Bank of Scotland has received an approach from 17 of the biggest investment institutions to buy 315 branches and their associated 2m customers for around £1bn - with a view to creating a serious new player in small-business banking.
I've only been back for four days, and this is the second time I am banging on about Royal Bank of Scotland.
Now I don't know whether that says more about the bruised largely nationalised bank or about me, but either way it may not be healthy.
What has been brought to my attention is an interesting new way to hive off the 315 RBS branches, which the bank was on course to sell to Santander, before the UK arm of that Spanish giant dropped the deal.
RBS is not allowed to keep the branches and their £20bn-odd of deposits and loans - together with 1.7m retail customers and 230,000 small-business clients. The European Commission has ordered the disposal, as a remedy for the state aid received by RBS when British taxpayers bailed it out in 2008.
And here's the thing: the deadline for the sale is November 2013 - though, arguably through no fault of its own, RBS has acknowledged that it is going to miss that deadline.
Or perhaps it might not, if it and the government like the look and smell of a proposal being put to it by 17 very substantial investment institutions, including Schroders, Threadneedle, Foreign & Colonial, Henderson and Invesco Perpetual.
I have learned that together with a sovereign wealth fund, a substantial hedge fund and so-called family money, they've been brought together by Baden Hill and Canaccord to make an offer for the branches.
They've collectively committed £700m, which in a sense was the entry price for getting access to confidential data about the branches, assets and liabilities. And they would expect to eventually make an offer of around £1bn - which is less than Santander had put on the table, but probably more than any other current proposal.
The reason any of this matters is that what is being sold is largely a small-business bank - almost two-thirds of its loans are to businesses, especially smaller ones - and right now one of the alleged great scandals of the British economy is the great shortage of choice for small businesses in the provision of vital finance.
Now you may wonder how on earth these investment funds would propose to run this hived-off bank, which - by the way - would trade under the famous Williams & Glyn's name (many of the branches being sold originally had that moniker).
Well they've recruited the man who set up Tesco's fast-growing bank, Andy Higginson, who was finance director of Tesco for years, as their Williams & Glyn's chairman. As for executives, and risk controls and technology, RBS has already committed to provide all of that.
However, right now Williams & Glyn's is in no fit state to be separated from RBS. And it may take a couple of years for the systems to be in place for it to be detached from the mother ship.
This is how RBS puts it, in its recent results statement:
"RBS is creating a standalone banking entity supported by a bespoke technology solution that would facilitate a trade sale now or at some point in the future, or an IPO (flotation on the stock market)."
It seems to me that the best way of seeing what the investment institutions are proposing is as a short cut to something that's not a million miles from an IPO - since these are exactly the kind of funds that would buy the shares in a stock market flotation.
And the advantage for RBS of their plan is that it can have most of the money almost immediately, rather than having to wait two or three years for the IPO.
The disadvantage of course is that the business could be worth a good deal more, as and when it was floated - and that matters to taxpayers, since we own more than 80% of RBS.
I suspect it may come down to politics, and whether early privatisation of a strategically important part of RBS were to appeal to the chancellor.

EU considers Qualcomm as next Microsoft?
As predicted, the European Commission has wasted no time in going after another American firm using the anti-monopoly precedent established with Microsoft. This week, the target is Qualcomm. Still on deck are Intel, Rambus and Google.
The EC investigation of Qualcomm is following up on a request 23 months ago by Qualcomm's two main chip rivals — TI and Broadcom — as well as European handset (and chip) makers Nokia and Ericsson, as well as Panasonic (Matsushita) of Japan. The investigation could take as much as two years, although the EC was careful to say the action "does not imply that the commission has conclusive proof of an infringement."
The main issue is not that Qualcomm is blocking other firms from using its technology, but the price that it charges. Specifically, Qualcomm charges the same royalty (about 4-5%) for both major flavors of 3G mobile phones — cdma2000 and WCDMA. Its accusers — including the leaders of the WCDMA camp — argue that Qualcomm should charge less for WCDMA because they successfully added lots of other IP to the WCDMA standard and thus Qualcomm's share is proportionately less. The WSJ [registration required] quoted these rivals as saying that the fee should be less than 2%.
The case may end up focusing on that most vaguely defined standardization concept, Reasonable and Non Discriminatory licensing terms, aka RAND aka FRAND (Fair, Reasonable and Non Discriminatory). Anyone who studies (or participates in) standardization knows that the term has been left deliberately vague as a way to win agreement among various parties. Rather than come up with a more specific ex ante definition to provide predictability for all concerned — something ETSI has notably shied from doing — key ETSI members want the chief EU regulator to impose an ex post definition based on its own judgment.
There are key differences between US and European law that make this action unlikely to succeed in the US. One is the (current) policy favoring patent holders in the US; the second is that US monopoly law requires demonstrating harm to consumers, while EU law considers harm to competitors to be an important issue. There is also the issue that the EC seems to be choosing unpopular defendants first — Qualcomm being the only company more hated than Microsoft in the European ICT industry — presumably to set a precedent. Once the precedents are established, they could be applied to other, less controversial firms (which today would still include Google).
Qualcomm faces other legal challenges, including its expired patent license with Nokia and its ongoing legal fights with Broadcom. Qualcomm hired a new general counsel Friday — Donald Rosenberg, formerly of Apple, and before that a 30-year IBM veteran. He certainly has his hands full.

As as per figures by the Delhi Government, 1,330 cases of rape were recorded in the capital city until October this year compared to 706 in 2012 while molestation cases have gone up from 727 to 2844. Only one case that of the Delhi gang rape, has resulted in conviction
On December 16, 2012, six men brutally assaulted and raped a young woman in the capital of India, Delhi. Her story invoked national shame and evoked outrage across the country. Protests broke out and the streets of Delhi were shut down as students, men, and women took to the streets.
Fifteen days later, six fast-track courts were set up to deal with cases of sexual assault.
On January 23, 2013, exactly a month after it was constituted the Justice Verma Commission (headed by the late Justice J S Verma, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court with the other two members being Justice Leila Seth, former judge of the High Court and Gopal Subramanium, former Solicitor General of India) submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the Criminal Law. The recommendations were drafted after extensive consultations with women and human rights groups in the country and suggestions from the public.
Among others, the recommendations stated rape and sexual assault were an expression of power and rape should include any non-consensual penetration of a sexual nature. The exception to marital rape in the IPC (the IPC considered intercourse without consent as rape except within a marriage) should be removed. While the former recommendations were present in the Criminal Law Amendments Bill, 2013, passed in April 2013, which amended the Indian Penal Code (IPC) the latter of marital rape was not.
It recommended that non-penetrative sexual contact be considered as sexual assault and that sexual gratification as a motive need not be prerequisite as proof of offence and the act be punishable with 5 years of imprisonment. Rejecting the death penalty as not good enough a deterrent to serious crimes, it recommended life imprisonment for rape. The Criminal Law Amendments however provides for death penalty in the "rarest of rare" cases. The Bill also criminalised offences like causing grievous hurt through acid attack, sexual harassment, use of criminal force on a woman with intent to disrobe, voyeurism and stalking.
Sections inserted after section 166 of the Penal Code, stated that (166A). if a public servant "knowingly disobeys" the law and fails to record FIR under sub-section (1) of section 154 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, they shall be punished with rigorous imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than six months but which may extend to two years, and shall also be liable to fine.
In September 2013, four of the rapists Mukesh Singh, Vinay Sharma, Akshay Thakur and Pawan Gupta were found guilty and sentenced to death. Earlier in March, one of the accused Ram Singh was found dead in his cell in prison. In August, another of the accused was given the maximum sentence according to his minor status which was three years in a reform facility.
The year 2013 ends with two high profile cases, a case of rape registered against Tarun Tejpal, of Tehelka magazine based on the complaint of a junior employee and of sexual harassment against former justice A K Ganguly based on the complaint of an intern. As of date women groups are demanding that the Prime Minister that Ganguly be removed from the position of themselves Chairman of the West Bengal Human Rights Commission. Tejpal is in police custody.
The fact remains however that as per figures submitted to the Supreme Court by the Delhi Government in October this year 1,330 cases of rape were recorded in the capital city until October 15, 2013 as compared to 706 in 2012 while molestation cases have gone up from 727 to 2844. Only one case that of the Delhi gang rape (Nirbhaya), has resulted in conviction.
Four inquiries were conducted by Delhi police of the recorded 501 allegations of harassment and 64 of rape between 16 December 2012 and 4 January 2013. As of September 2013, 1,090 sexual offence cases are still pending in various courts here as the fast track courts are reeling with the number of registered cases.
Last year 24,923 cases of rape were registered in the country, and as per media reports quoting sources within the National Crime Record Bureau, the figures are going to rise further this year.
Even as the nation was protesting the Delhi gang rape, a young woman was gang raped in Haryana, and her case was not registered for nearly fifteen days. Six months later, submitted to harassment by the police and authorities, she committed suicide. Her's is not a lone case, police indifference and apathy are common especially in rural areas and cases of offence against women from the marginalised sections of the society.
In Kerala, over 482 rape cases were recorded just in the first three months of the year. A young adivasi policewoman in Jharkhand was gang-raped while accompanying her family members carrying the dead body of her sister. According to the National Crime Records Bureau report of 2012, Assam tops the rate of cognizable crimes against women in India in 2012 at 89.54%. The Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative and the North Eastern Network recently issue a press release expressing concern regarding the severity of violence against women in the state.
West Bengal, according to data collected by the National Crime Records Bureau, has continuously recorded the 2nd highest incidents of rape in India, for the last seven years (2004-2010). Between, 2006-2010, the incidents of rape across the country increased by 15 per cent but increased by 34 per cent, in West Bengal. A victim of rape in Baranagar, WB, died of internal bleeding because of the callousness of the police and the administration. In another case, in Falta, the police initially refused to record the victim's complaint but the Calcutta High Court Orders forced the Falta police to investigate the allegation. A 37-year-old woman was raped at gunpoint in a moving car in Kolkata on the night of 5th February in 2012 after accepting a lift from the accused. The chief minister had dismissed the victim stating the complaint was "cooked up".
Earlier this month women groups in Delhi submitted their six-point 'womanifesto' – 1. Educate everyone, 2. Make laws count 3. Make police more responsive 4. Set up faster, competent courts, 5. Create support to survivors 6. Safe streets, safe city. This manifesto was submitted to the candidates in the recently held Delhi elections with the demand that they commit to it enforcing it with one year.
One could hope that such a manifesto be adopted on the national level which would be the first step towards dismantling the misogynistic, patriarchal societal norms that is prevalent in society, and its judicial, legislative and executive branches of government.

I just love a good outdoor shower, don't you?
This is our new shower, circa 1998. It has hot and cold water, a curtain, hooks for your towels and a nice wooden enclosure with walls, roof and door!
Prior to the big 1998 renovation it was a pipe with a nozzle at the top that was attached to the side of the house. Cold water only and bathing suits were a necessity. We've come up in the world!
My favorite time to shower is during a heavy rainstorm- the sound of the rain on the roof paired with a nice warm shower inside…perfect!

The Fallows Calls For an End to All Wars
Cultivated land that is allowed to lie idle during the growing season. The seventh year of the growing period in which the weeds are left to grow to nourish the land. On the seventh year the field is left fallow to nourish the land for another six year growing period.
The Fallows
is symbolic of the field within our hearts and minds."
Part One
Oh, how pain cultivates the fallows of our hearts
Like the threshing wheel of God's mighty hands;
Touching the depths of our most inner parts,
Nourishing the heart of our most vital lands.
Part Two
Oh, the joy of fallowed hearts
That were once lost to be found;
Upon life's most sacred cords tossed,
Brought together in love so tightly wound.
Part Three
Oh, how a great love move's upon the fallows,
To stir a heart unto great sacrifice,
Painting upon the earth its rainbows,
Yet such love comes only with a great price.
Part Four
Oh, how the fallows carry scars from the past,
While the present winds forever blow,
Planting seeds to forever grow and last,
Forever in their glory to live and grow.
Part Five
Oh, how the word touches the fallowed hearts,
If only to inspire one unto great actions,
Those ocean depths who can ever chart,
Words that move one unto great passion.
Part Six
Oh, how the fallows carry scars from the past,
While the present winds forever blow,
Planting seeds to forever grow and last,
Forever in their glory to live and grow.
Part Seven
Oh, how the fallows are one,
A field of joy forever to be planted,
To grow forth upon the earth under the sun,
As a bride and groom upon the earth united.

Bertrand Russell Quotes About ValuesQuotes about: Values
I believe that when I die I shall rot, and nothing of my ego will survive. I am not young, and I love life. But I should scorn to shiver with terror at the thought of annihilation. Happiness is nonetheless true happiness because it must come to an end, nor do thought and love lose their value because they are not everlasting.
I conclude that, while it is true that science cannot decide questions of value, that is because they cannot be intellectually decided at all, and lie outside the realm of truth and falsehood. Whatever knowledge is attainable, must be attained by scientific methods; and what science cannot discover, mankind cannot know.
Gradually, ... the aspect of science as knowledge is being thrust into the background by the aspect of science as the power of manipulating nature. It is because science gives us the power of manipulating nature that it has more social importance than art. Science as the pursuit of truth is the equal, but not the superior, of art. Science as a technique, though it may have little intrinsic value, has a practical importance to which art cannot aspire.
I hold all knowledge that is concerned with things that actually exist - all that is commonly called Science - to be of very slight value compared to the knowledge which, like philosophy and mathematics, is concerned with ideal and eternal objects, and is freed from this miserable world which God has made.
I believe myself that romantic love is the source of the most intense delights that life has to offer. In the relation of a man and woman who love each other with passion and imagination and tenderness, there is something of inestimable value, to be ignorant of which is a great misfortune to any human being.
He will see himself and life and the world as truly as our human limitations will permit; realizing the brevity and minuteness of human life, he will realize also that in individual minds is concentrated whatever of value the known universe contains. And he will see that the man whose mind mirrors the world becomes in a sense as great as the world. In emancipation from the fears that beset the slave of circumstance he will experience a profound joy, and through all the vicissitudes of his outward life he will remain in the depths of his being a happy man.
In regard to the past, where contemplation is not obscured by desire and the need for action, we see, more clearly than in the lives about us, the value for good and evil, of the aims men have pursued and the means they have adopted. It is good, from time to time, to view the present as already past, and to examine what elements it contains that will add to the world's store of permanent possessions, that will live and give life when we and all our generation have perished.
History is valuable, to begin with, because it is true; and this, though not the whole of its value, is the foundation and condition of all the rest. That all knowledge, as such, is in some degree good, would appear to be at least probable; and the knowledge of every historical fact possesses this element of goodness, even if it posses no other.
When white men first effect contact with some unspoilt race of savages, they offer them all kinds of benefits, from the light of the gospel to pumpkin pie. These, however, much as we may regret it, most savages receive with indifference. What they really value among the gifts that we bring to them is intoxicating liquor which enables them, for the first time in their lives, to have the illusion for a few brief moments that it is better to be alive than dead.
An educator should think of a child as a garderner thinks of a plant, as something to be made to grow by having the right soil and the right kind amount of water. If your roses fail to bloom, it does not occur to you to whip them, but you should try to find out what has been amiss in your treatment of them... The important thing is what the children do, and not what they do not do. And what they do, if it is to have value, must be a spontaneous expression of their own vital energy.
You, your families, your friends and your countries are to be exterminated by the common decision of a few brutal but powerful men. To please these men, all the private affections, all the public hopes, all that has been achieved in art, and knowledge and thought and all that might be achieved hereafter is to be wiped out forever. Our ruined lifeless planet will continue for countless ages to circle aimlessly round the sun unredeemed by the joys and loves, the occasional wisdom and the power to create beauty which have given value to human life.
In astronomy, the law of gravitation is plainly better worth knowing than the position of a particular planet on a particular night, or even on every night throughout a year. There are in the law a splendour and simplicity and sense of mastery which illuminate a mass of otherwise uninteresting details. But in history the matter is far otherwise. Historical facts, many of them, have an intrinsic value, a profound interest on their own account, which makes them worthy of study, quite apart from any possibility of linking them together by means of causal laws.

Implementing the Teredo Security Model
The Teredo security model is based on the Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) technology built into Windows Vista. As a result, it is recommended that third-party firewalls use WFP to enforce the Teredo security model.
The general implementation of the Teredo Security Model requires the following:
- An IPv6-capable host firewall must be registered with Windows Security Center (WSC) on the machine. In the absence of a host-based firewall, or WSC itself, the Teredo interface will not be available for use. This is the only requirement to receive solicited traffic from the Internet over the Teredo interface.
- Any application that receives unsolicited traffic from the Internet over the Teredo interface must register with an IPv6-capable firewall, like Windows Firewall, before receiving the unsolicited traffic.
A Teredo address will become dormant if traffic has not been sent or received over the Teredo interface for one hour and if applications that meet the required security criteria for unsolicited traffic are not running or do not have listening sockets open.
After the reboot of a machine, or if the Teredo address loses its qualifications, Windows Vista will automatically qualify the address and makes it available for use as soon as an application binds to IPv6-capable sockets. It is important to note that the Windows Firewall "Edge Traversal" option set by an application to allow unsolicited traffic via Teredo is persistent across reboots.
Firewall Requirements for Teredo
Firewall vendors can easily incorporate Teredo support in their products and protect their users by using the capabilities of the Windows Filtering Platform. This can be accomplished by registering the IPv6-capable firewall with the Windows Security Center, adding appropriate rules into the WFP Teredo sublayer, and using built-in APIs in Windows to enumerate applications that might listen to unsolicited traffic over Teredo. In situations where an application does not need to listen to solicited traffic over Teredo, firewalls do not require additional rules added to the WFP. However an IPv6 capable firewall registration with Windows Security Center is still a requirement to make the Teredo address to available for use.
In order to support this scenario, the firewall must be IPv6-capable and registered with the Windows Security Center. Additionally, the firewall must not change the running or startup state of the Windows Security Center service (wscsvc), as Teredo is dependent on the state information provided through the WSC APIs.
The API utilized to register a firewall with the WSC can be obtained by contacting Microsoft at firstname.lastname@example.com. A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is required for the disclosure of this API due to security concerns.
The following documentation details the filters and exceptions utilized to ensure optimal compatibility with Teredo:
- Implementing Firewall Filters for Teredo
- Required Firewall Exceptions for Teredo
- Required Windows Filtering Platform Exceptions for Teredo
Firewall Requirements for Other IPv6 Transition Technologies
In order to support other IPv6 transition technologies (such as 6to4 and ISATAP), the host firewall product must be capable of processing IPv6 traffic. The IP Protocol 41 indicates when an IPv6 header follows an IPv4 header. When a host firewall encounters protocol 41, it must recognize that the packet is an IPv6-encapsulated packet and as a result must process the packet appropriately and make the accept/deny decisions based on the IPv6 rules in its policy.

Citigroup Names Fischer Vice Chairman
Citigroup Inc. on Thursday named Stanley Fischer, the former first deputy managing director of the International Monetary Fund, as a vice chairman.
Fischer, an economist, will join the New York financial services company in February. He will report to Robert E. Rubin, a former U.S. Treasury secretary who is chairman of the executive committee of the board, the company said.
Citigroup said in its announcement that Fischer "will play an important role in better positioning Citigroup to take advantage of opportunities with governments and corporations in both the developed and emerging markets."
The appointment was announced a day after Citigroup said it would spin off its Travelers Property Casualty insurance business in a deal analysts estimate could garner up to $5 billion.
Citigroup chairman and chief executive Sanford I. Weill said proceeds from the Travelers' sale probably will go to investments in higher-growth businesses, particularly in emerging markets.
"Maybe in China," Weill said.
Citigroup said Fischer would work closely with Weill and other senior executives "and will play an active role in our risk management, fixed income, foreign exchange and equity trading activities."
Born in Zambia, Mr. Fischer is a graduate of the London School of Economics. He earned his Ph.D. in economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1969. He later taught economics at the University of Chicago and MIT. He was with the World Bank from 1988 to 1990.

MUNCH Machine makes innovative Cannabis harvesting solutions. MUNCH grew out of Dauenhauer Mfg, creators of the world's first mechanical hops harvesters in 1940. Prior to this, hops were hand-picked and hand-processed on small farms, similar to cannabis harvesting up to now.
Dauenhauer Harvesters changed the hops industry forever. Within a few years of the first prototype, the majority of US hops growers switched to mechanical harvesting. The adoption of this new technology dramatically increased efficiency, lowered processing costs, and gave farmers a competitive advantage over the laggards. Dauenhauer remains the world standard in commercial hops harvesting to this day.
At MUNCH Machine, we see the same scenario unfolding today as the cannabis industry emerges from prohibition, and we are ready to meet the challenge. We have the experience and the knowledge to create innovative solutions for your cannabis harvesting needs. Our goal is to make affordable harvesting solutions for Cannabis growers of all sizes.

YouView is coming to Sony's Bravia range of TVs next week.
Starting on November 4th – a week on Wednesday – Sony will roll out a software update that empowers its sets with YouView. That'll give you access to all manner of catch-up services, including BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, All 4 and Demand 5.
It will also endow viewers with more than 17,000 films and TV shows across all the various services. Quite a windfall.
But perhaps the coolest feature is the seven-day scroll back guide that lets you effectively travel back in time by scrolling back. It makes it much easier to catch up on something you missed, rather than delving into the menu and finding it through the relevant service.
YouView will also be incorporated into the home screen, letting you search through services by show or film name (or actor or director), or try something new using the Discover feature.
Just make sure your Sony TV is an eligible model, and that automatic updates are enabled. Then you should see the update sometime next week, or soon after.
"YouView was the natural choice of partner due to the intuitive design and interface and seamless user journey to access a huge content library," said Joan Anderson, country head of Sony UK and Ireland. "Harnessing this with the fantastic picture quality and beautiful design of Sony's Bravia TV range we are able to offer our customers the ultimate TV viewing experience."
