<b>(Reuters)</b> - When Ashton Kutcher replaced Charlie Sheen on the hit comedy "Two And a Half Men", he also took his place as television's highest-paid actor, according to Forbes' annual survey released on Wednesday.</div>
</span><span id="midArticle_0"></span><div style="line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Forbes estimated Kutcher earned $24 million from May 2011 to May 2012, while Sheen, now starring in "Anger Management" on cable television following a very public firing from the hit CBS show, didn't even make the top 10.</div>
<span id="midArticle_1"></span><div style="line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Sheen's $40 million a year ago however easily out-earned Kutcher by some $16 million. Steve Carell, also in the top 10 last year with $15 million before he left "The Office," was also nowhere to be found this year.</div>
<span id="midArticle_2"></span><div style="line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Earnings runners-up included "House" star Hugh Laurie and Ray Romano of now-canceled "Men of a Certain Age," with $18 million each.</div>
<span id="midArticle_3"></span><div style="line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Other highly compensated actors in the top 10 list included Emmy winner Alec Baldwin of "30 Rock," "Last Man Standing" star Tim Allen, "Men" co-star Jon Cryer and "The Big Bang Theory"'s Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki.</div>
<span id="midArticle_4"></span><div style="line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Forbes said its estimates did not include deductions for manager and agent fees, or "the other costs of being a celebrity."</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"><b>Mount Vernon, Ia.</b> – Facing criticism from Republicans and the media that he hasn’t offered a specific vision to support his reelection, President Barack Obama on Wednesday detailed his second-term plans, reiterated his first-term successes and warned of a turn backwards should GOP nominee Mitt Romney be elected.</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">The comments came during a rally at Cornell College here, his first public appearance following the second presidential debate Tuesday night in New York.</span></span><br />

I talked about it last night. I want to export more products, outsource fewer jobs. We can give tax breaks to companies that are shipping jobs overseas or we can give those tax breaks to companies that are investing right here in Iowa, right here in the United States of America.”</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;"><b>ENERGY</b></span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">“I want to control more of our own energy.”</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">“We have doubled the amount of renewable energy that we generate from wind and solar and biofuels.”</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">“Today the United States of America is less dependent on foreign oil than any time in the last two decades.</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">“The question is whether we build on the progress for the new energy sources for the future.”</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">“I’m not going to keep on giving corporate taxpayer-funded welfare to oil companies, $4 billion a year, when we can be using that money to continue to promote wind and solar.”</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;"><b>EDUCATION</b></span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">“I want to give more Americans a chance to get a great education and get the skills they need to compete for the 21st century. I tried to talk about education last night. We kept on getting waylaid.”</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">“We could gut education to pay for Gov. Romney’s $5 trillion tax cut or we could recruit 100,000 new math and science teachers over the next decade.”</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;"><b>INFRASTRUCTURE REBUILDING</b></span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">“The 4th part of the plan is use some of the money saving from ending wars in Iraq and winding down war in Afghanistan to pay down our deficit, put people back to work, including our veterans, rebuilding roads and bridges all across America.”</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;"><b>DEFICIT REDUCTION</b></span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">“Finally, I want to cut the deficit by $4 trillion over the next 10 years and I’ve worked with Republicans and Democrats already to cut a trillion dollars worth of spending. I’m ready to cut more spending that is not contributing to our growth. But we can’t just cut our way to prosperity. We’ve got to make investments in science, research and infrastructure.”</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;"><b>CRITIQUING ROMNEY:</b></span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;"><b>ROMNEY HAS ONLY A ONE-POINT PLAN.</b></span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">“As I pointed out last night, as you guys heard for yourself, it’s really a one-point plan. It says folks at the very top play by their own set of rules. That’s why they can pay lower taxes than you. Or they can use off-shore accounts. Or they can invest in a company, bankrupt it, fire the workers, take away the pensions, ship the jobs overseas and still make money doing it. It’s the one point that says it’s OK for Wall Street to keep engaging in the reckless behavior that got us into the mess we’ve been fighting back from for the last four years. … It’s the same philosophy that we saw in the previous administration and I have seen too much pain and too much struggle to let this country go down that same road again.”</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;"><b>ROMNEY WANTS A TAX CUT THAT FAVORS THE WEALTHY.</b></span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">Romney “tried to sell us his $5 trillion tax cut that favors the wealthy. Once again he refused to tell you how he’s going to pay for it. He said he’d let you know after the election. Now, here’s a tip . Usually when a politician tells you he’s going to wait until after the election to explain the plan to you, they don’t have a pleasant surprise in store for you,” he said to laughs.</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">Just about everybody who’s looked at the $5 trillion tax cut has said it would either blow a hole in the deficit or raise taxes on middle class families, he said. “It can’t be done.”</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;"><b>ROMNEY’S JOBS PLAN DOESN’T ADD UP.</b></span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">“So let’s recap what we learned last night. His tax plan doesn’t add up. His jobs plan doesn’t create jobs. His deficit reduction plan adds to the deficit. So Iowa, you know, everybody here’s heard of the New Deal. You’ve heard of the Fair Deal. You’ve heard of the square deal. Mitt Romney’s trying to sell you a sketchy deal. We’ve tried that. We’re not going back. We’re moving forward. That’s why I need your vote.”</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;"><b>ROMNEY ON EDUCATION</b></span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">“Gov. Romney says hiring more teachers won’t grow our economy over four year. But you know what? Yes it will.”</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;"><b>ROMNEY ON WOMEN’S ISSUES</b></span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">“When Gov. Romney was asked about it, his campaign said we’ll get back to you. That shouldn’t be a complicated question. Equal pay for equal work. I want my daughters paid just like somebody’s else’s sons are paid for the same job.”</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">Obama also said of Romney’s stance on women’s issues, “Gov. Romney didn’t want to talk last night about how he wants to end funding for Planned Parenthood, how he supports turning over certain decisions about women’s health care to their employers.”</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">“I don’t think your boss should control the health care that you get. I don’t think insurers should control the health care you get. And I certainly don’t think politicians should control the health care that you get.”</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;"><b>ROMNEY ON TAXES AND SPENDING</b></span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">“Gov. Romney was asked, is it fair that he pays a lower tax rate than a teacher who makes $50,000 and he said, yeah, I think it’s fair, I think that’s how you grow an economy. He’s wrong.”</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">“I’m not going to ask middle-class families to give up their deductions for owning a home or raising their kids or sending their kids to college just to pay for another millionaire’s tax cut.”</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">“I’m not going to ask the students here to pay more for college so I have more money in my pocket. I don’t need it. I’m not going to kick children out of Head Start programs or eliminate health care for millions of Americans who are poor or elderly and disabled.”</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">All Romney has offered to reduce the deficit, Obama said, is eliminating funding for Planned Parenthood, getting “rid of Big Bird” and ending production tax credits for wind energy.</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">“It adds up to less one 100th of 1 percent of the federal budget – now that was an estimate, by the way. I was doing that off the top of my head.”</span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;"><b>ROMNEY ON IMMIGRANTS AND GAYS</b></span><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><br style="line-height: 24px;" /><span style="line-height: 24px;">“We have heard this pitch before.

<nyt_text><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S6ypSfVYRDg/UH-mNr7g3TI/AAAAAAAAMXM/0vO1pquNhV4/s1600/2012-10-16__Syria.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="271" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S6ypSfVYRDg/UH-mNr7g3TI/AAAAAAAAMXM/0vO1pquNhV4/s400/2012-10-16__Syria.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="line-height: 1.467em;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Beirut, Lebanon </span></b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">— Iran declared support on Wednesday for the new Syria peace envoy’s cease-fire proposal, joining Turkey in a rare moment of accord between two of the regional powers backing opposite sides in the 19-month conflict that has pitted the Syrian government against an array of armed opponents.</span></div>
</nyt_text></div>
<div class="articleBody" style="background-color: white; line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.7em; margin-top: 1.5em;">
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="line-height: 1.467em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But the Syrian government expressed skepticism that rebels would honor a cease-fire, and the peace envoy,Lakhdar Brahimi, who represents both the United Nations and the Arab League, said a temporary halt to the fighting would constitute only a tiny step toward resolving the conflict, which has left more than 20,000 people dead.</span></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="line-height: 1.467em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A veteran Algerian statesman who has been on the job for less than two months, Mr. Brahimi has spent the last several days conferring with Middle East leaders about ways to break the Syria impasse. His predecessor, Kofi Annan, resigned in frustration at the end of August after his proposed peace plan slipped into seeming irrelevance.</span></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="line-height: 1.467em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On Monday, Mr. Brahimi proposed a cease-fire during the three-day Muslim holiday of Id al-Adha, which begins Oct. 26, hoping that a religious reprieve universally respected by Muslims could be the basis not only for a pause in the fighting but perhaps the beginnings of a dialogue in Syria.</span></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="line-height: 1.467em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sunni Muslims constitute most of the Syrian population and virtually the entire insurgency, while President Bashar al-Assad is a member of the ruling Alawite sect, a Shiite offshoot. The country is home to a variety of other religious minorities, including a significant Christian population.</span></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="line-height: 1.467em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Both Turkey and Iran publicly endorsed Mr. Brahimi’s effort on Wednesday. Those endorsements were significant because Iran is the most influential regional supporter of Mr. Assad’s, while Turkey supports Mr. Assad’s armed adversaries, is host to more than 100,000 Syrian refugees and has repeatedly called on Mr. Assad to resign.</span></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="line-height: 1.467em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the past few weeks Turkey also has banned Syrian aircraft, moved armed forces close to its 550-mile border with Syria and engaged Syrian gunners in sporadic cross-border shelling, raising fears that the conflict in Syria could turn into a regional war.</span></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="line-height: 1.467em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, who met this week with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey at a regional summit meeting in Baku, Azerbaijan, was quoted by Iran’s state-run news media on Wednesday as saying he supported the Syria truce proposal and “any group that derives power through war and means to continue war has no future.”</span></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="line-height: 1.467em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Turkish foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, was quoted by the semiofficial Anatolian News Agency of Turkey as saying a holiday cease-fire was desirable but that any longer-term truce would require “certain measures for its sustainability.”</span></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="line-height: 1.467em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mr. Brahimi, who was visiting Lebanon on Wednesday, called on the Syrian government to back the cease-fire, saying he had guarantees from rebel leaders that they would observe it if the government acted first. But a Syrian government newspaper expressed doubt that insurgent units, who lack a unified command, would or could simultaneously uphold a cease-fire.</span></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="line-height: 1.467em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In Damascus, the Foreign Ministry spokesman, Jihad Makdessi, said in a statement released by the official Syrian Arab News Agency that his government would welcome any “constructive initiative” from Mr. Brahimi, who was widely expected to travel to Syria.</span></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="line-height: 1.467em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But the very modesty of Mr. Brahimi’s proposal seemed to be an indication that in recent months the conflict has drifted further from resolution. Random responses from ordinary Syrians reached by telephone seemed to reflect a similar assessment.</span></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="line-height: 1.467em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A resident in the embattled northern city of Aleppo, who gave only a nickname, Abu al-Hassan, said he believed neither side was willing to stop shooting. “What does this even mean?” he asked. “That instead of 40 martyrs we will have 20 martyrs a day?”</span></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="line-height: 1.467em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A Syrian businessman based in Damascus said Mr. Brahimi’s efforts would be better spent persuading the Syrian authorities to release the thousands of people arrested or abducted by pro-government militias during the conflict. “We got used to the gunfire — no need to cease it — but we will never get used to the absence of the detained and kidnapped people,” he said.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Century Fox Lifestyle: <a href="http://centuryfoxpost.blogspot.in/2012/10/unprotected-sex-makes-women-happier.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;">Why women seem to be more happy after oral sex or unprotected sex?</span></a></b><span style="color: #990000;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /></span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">But some researchers argue that vaginal stimulation is simply activating a different, internal, section of the clitoris. Women report different sensations from vaginal and clitoral orgasms, Komisaruk said, but which one women prefer largely comes down to personal preference.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">In some cases, female orgasm is even more complex. For example, Beverly Whipple, professor emerita at Rutgers University and one of the discoverers of the G spot, a sensitive area felt through the front wall of the vagina, has found that women with complete </span>spinal<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"> cord </span>injuries <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">can sometimes experience orgasm, even though the nerves that carry sensation up the spinal cord from the pelvis have been severed.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">It's likely that the sensory vagus nerve, which runs in the abdomen but bypasses the spinal cord, is recruited to carry signals to the brain in these cases, Whipple told </span><em style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">LiveScience.</em><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">In the new study, Brody and his colleagues asked 323 women, mostly Scottish university students, to recall past sexual encounters. They were asked about their recent sexual behaviors as well as how important penile-vaginal intercourse and other sex acts were to them. They were also asked whether penis length influenced their ability to orgasm with vaginal stimulation.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">Defining "average" as the length of a 20-pound banknote or U.S. dollar bill, which are 5.8 inches (14.9 cm) and 6.1 inches (15.5 cm) long, respectively, the researchers asked women if they were more likely to orgasm vaginally with a longer-than-average or shorter-than-average penis.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">They found that 160 of the women experienced vaginal-only orgasms and had enough sexual partners to compare size experiences. Of these, 33.8 per cent preferred longer-than-average penises, 60 per cent said size made no difference and 6.3 per cent said longer was less pleasurable than shorter.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">Supporting the hypothesis that size matters, Brody and his colleagues found the women who reported the highest number of vaginal orgasms in the past month were most likely to say that longer was better.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">"This might be due at least in part to greater ability of a longer penis to stimulate the entire length of the vagina, and the cervix," Brody said.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">The data supports Brody's claim, Whipple said, but the sample is limited to Scottish university students and should be replicated with a broader group. Nevertheless, she warned against worrying about the findings in bed.</span></span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Indian premium Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) segment just got more exciting with the addition of a brand new product coming from the stables of Mahindra and Mahindra (M&M) Limited and its South Korean subsidiary SsangYong Motor Company called <b><span style="color: #741b47;">Rexton.</span></b> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The SsangYong Rexton marked its presence on the Indian turf on October 17, 2012 and the company has introduced two models of its new SUV in the Indian market, under the namesakes - RX5 and RX7. The base model Rexton RX5 and the top model Rexton RX7 carry a price tag of Rs. 17.67 lacs and Rs. 19.67 lacs, respectively with all prices corresponding to the ex-showrooms of Mumbai.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: left;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Prior to its launch, the Rexton SUV had already generated an immense buzz in the Indian market with many domestic enthusiasts eyeing the latest M&M-SsangYong offering as their next-to-be vehicle. The 2012 SsangYong Rexton competes against the likes of Toyota Fortuner, Ford Endeavour, Mitsubishi Pajero SFX, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and Hyundai Santa Fe. Accordingly, some intense competition can be expected between the Rexton and its contemporaries in the Indian premium SUV scene.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 2012 SsangYong Rexton RX5 incorporates a 2.7 litre RX270 XDi diesel motor, which churns out a peak power-torque output of 162 bhp and 340 Nm, respectively. Interestingly, the top end variant Rexton RX7 comes fitted with a refined 2.7 litre RX270 XVT engine under its hood that delivers out a whopping power-torque equation of 184 bhp and 402 Nm, in the order of their mention. Further, the Rexton RX7 underlines its power and performance quotient by effortlessly racing to a top speed of 194 kmph. The ARAI certified mileage ratings of the SsangYong Rexton RX5 and RX7 are 12.4 and 11.18 km per litre, respectively.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Toyota Fortuner is the current champion and market leader in the country. The premium SUV from the Japanese auto giant instantly dominated the market upon its arrival and has set an important benchmark in terms of an overall impact of a single vehicle. The Fortuner comes assimilated with a 3.0 litre, 2982 cc, diesel motor that churns out a maximum power of 168 bhp and a peak torque of 343 Nm.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Evidently, the Rexton RX5 and RX7 can pose a stiff competition to the Fortuner and it is going to be interesting to see a major territorial dispute in the Indian premium SUV market. The Japanese auto maker retails its Fortuner SUV in the country within the price range close to Rs. 21-23 lacs in the Indian auto market, which proves to be nothing but inferior to the aggressive pricing of the SsangYong Rexton.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Ford Endeavour has been another fawned upon premium SUV in the country with many Indian admirers of the brand getting awestruck with the car's macho built and gorgeous looks. The Endeavour comes trimmed with a 3.0 litre, 2953 cc Duratorq TDCi diesel powertrain that puts out a peak power delivery of 155 bhp and a maximum torque of 380 Nm. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The power-mill incorporated under the hood of the Ford Endeavour also features a state-of-the-art fuel injection system coupled with a five speed manual transmission gearbox. The American auto major has offers the Endeavour within a price tag close to Rs. 18-21 lacs and considering its below par engine performance and a stiff pricing, it can be said with certainty that SsangYong Rexton beats all its competition with a big margin in the country.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ngA_iCzHYKA/UH-ZZD2eJKI/AAAAAAAAMWE/31NH2M90FUY/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ngA_iCzHYKA/UH-ZZD2eJKI/AAAAAAAAMWE/31NH2M90FUY/s400/6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">China's mammoth economy slowed for a seventh straight quarter in July-September, missing the government's target for the first time since the depths of the global financial crisis.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, other data released on Thursday pointed to a year-end rebound.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The National Bureau of Statistics said GDP grew 7.4 percent in the third quarter from a year earlier - in line with forecasts from economists polled - the first miss of the official target since the first quarter of 2009's 6.5 percent.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Industrial production, retail sales and investment data were all slightly ahead of forecasts, however, and quarter-on-quarter GDP growth was strong, suggesting the worst may be over and the world's No.2 economy will pick up in the final quarter - as a once-a-decade leadership transition gets under way in Beijing.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Growth this quarter should be back above 8 percent, said Kevin Lai, an economist at Daiwa, in Hong Kong. The worst should be over. We are seeing better numbers in industrial production and retail sales.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Riskier assets reacted positively, with Asian shares outside Japan rising to a 7-month high, while the Australian dollar, sensitive to Chinese demand for industrial commodities, touched its highest in two weeks.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While GDP growth at 7.4 percent would be cause for joy in recession-stalked developed economies, it represents a sharp slowdown for China, where GDP grew 9.2 percent in 2011 and has averaged an annual rate near 10 percent for three decades.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fixed-asset investment rose 20.5 percent in January-September from a year earlier, ahead of the 20.2 percent consensus forecast, although still down from around 25 percent seen for most of last year.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Consumption also quickened, with retail sales in September expanding by 14.2 percent year-on-year, ahead of the 13.2 percent forecast, which would have been unchanged from August.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Growth in factory output came in at 9.2 percent, slightly ahead of both the 9.0 percent forecast and August's 8.9 percent.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Real estate investment, which affects more than 40 other sectors from cement and steel to furniture, rose 15.4 percent in the first nine months of 2012 from a year earlier, slowing from an annual increase of 15.6 percent in January-August.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The September data indicates economic momentum has picked up strongly compared with July and August, said Zhang Zhiwei, chief China economist at Nomura in Hong Kong.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">New project investment picked up further in September, indicating infrastructure investment will continue to rise in coming months. This data set helps reinforce our view that growth will rebound visibly in Q4.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">GROWTH TARGET</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The government targets growth of 7.5 percent for the full year - reduced in 2012 from the previous 8 percent target - and the consensus forecast of economists polled is that it will deliver on it, with an expansion of 7.7 percent.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Indeed, Premier Wen Jiabao was quoted by local media as saying on Wednesday that the economic situation in the third quarter was relatively good, and the government was confident of achieving its goal.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But the remorseless slowdown has confounded forecasters repeatedly this year, with the initial consensus call for growth to bottom in the first quarter being persistently beaten back to its present position of a trough in the third quarter followed by a mild uptick in the fourth quarter.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some analysts cite electricity usage growth running at roughly half the average rate of the last five years as a manifest sign of economic malaise.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Others disagree. They say there is clear evidence that the financial system's liquidity taps have been opened wide and that fine-tuning policies - Beijing's mantra for a year now - are gaining traction.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The fine tuning includes two interest rate cuts, three cuts to the proportion of deposits banks must keep as reserves - freeing an estimated 1.2 trillion yuan ($190 billion) for lending - and approvals in the last month for infrastructure projects worth about $157 billion, although Beijing has not said explicitly where the money to fund them is coming from.</span></div>

<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 7px 0px 0px; text-indent: -0.375px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, 21, faces charges of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to provide material support to al Qaeda, the US Department of Justice said in a statement. If convicted, he faces life in prison.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 7px 0px 0px; text-indent: -0.375px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The FBI said the public was not in danger because the explosives provided to Nafis were never in working condition and the suspect was closely monitored by the undercover agent – highlighting a script law enforcement has employed several times this year in similar cases, including one in Washington and another in Ohio.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Attempting to destroy a landmark building and kill or maim untold numbers of innocent bystanders is about as serious as the imagination can conjure,” said Mary Galligan, FBI acting assistant director-in-charge. “The defendant faces appropriately severe consequences.”</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 7px 0px 0px; text-indent: -0.375px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In an initial appearance in federal court in Brooklyn on Wednesday, Nafis wore a plain brown crew-neck T-shirt, dark-coloured jeans and sneakers. He barely spoke during the brief hearing, mumbling answers of “yes” to questions from U.S. Magistrate Judge Roanne Mann.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 7px 0px 0px; text-indent: -0.375px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">According to the criminal complaint, Nafis travelled to the United States in January 2012. Once in New York, he claimed to be in contact with al Qaeda members overseas, although federal agents found no evidence that he was working for al Qaeda or that he was directed by the organization, according to a U.S. official who declined to be named.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 7px 0px 0px; text-indent: -0.375px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nafis considered several targets for his attack, including the New York Stock Exchange and high-ranking government official, who the source identified as President Barack Obama.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 7px 0px 0px; text-indent: -0.375px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the end, Nafis decided to focus on the Federal Reserve Bank in lower Manhattan, according to the criminal complaint. To create a cell to help him carry out the bombing, Nafis began to seek out recruits, eventually bringing on board an undercover agent working for the FBI.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 7px 0px 0px; text-indent: -0.375px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The two met on Wednesday morning and travelled by van to a New York warehouse, where Nafis assembled what he thought was a 1,000 pound bomb, before driving to the Federal Reserve bank, among the most secure and guarded buildings in Manhattan.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 7px 0px 0px; text-indent: -0.375px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A couple of blocks from Wall Street, the bank stands like a limestone and sandstone fortress, sitting atop what is believed to be one of the world’s largest stockpiles of gold.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 7px 0px 0px; text-indent: -0.375px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After parking near the bank, Nafis walked to a nearby hotel and recorded a video statement in which he said, “We will not stop until we attain victory or martyrdom,” according to the FBI.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 7px 0px 0px; text-indent: -0.375px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nafis was arrested in the hotel as he repeatedly attempted to detonate the inert bomb, the FBI said.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 7px 0px 0px; text-indent: -0.375px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Other FBI sting operations this year have netted American and foreign suspects.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In February, a 29-year-old Moroccan man was arrested near the U.S. Capitol wearing a vest he believed was full of al Qaeda-supplied explosives, and charged in an attempted suicide bombing of Congress.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 7px 0px 0px; text-indent: -0.375px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Five self-described anarchists in the Cleveland area were arrested in May and accused of plotting to blow up a four-lane highway bridge. An undercover FBI agent had sold the men inoperable detonators and plastic explosives<strong style="border: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">.</strong></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="background-color: white;"></span></span><div id="story-body-text" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.43; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">HEMPSTEAD, N.Y.</span></b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> — In a town-hall-style debate that was supposed to focus on questions from ordinary voters,President Obama and Mitt Romney circled each other on the stage and engaged in finger-pointing displays, arguing over energy, immigration and the deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Obama ducked a question from audience member Kerry Ladka about who in the administration had denied a request for extra diplomatic security in Libya, and why. But Obama seized an opening when Romney challenged the president's statement that he had described the incident as an act of "terror" on the day after the attack.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Is that what you're saying?" Romney said. "I want to make sure we get that for the record, because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror."</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Obama responded sharply, advising Romney to "get the transcript," as moderator Candy Crowley of CNN confirmed the accuracy of what Obama had said.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"He did in fact, sir," she told Romney, prompting Obama to respond, "Can you say that a little louder, Candy?"</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">According to a White House transcript of the Sept. 12 Rose Garden ceremony, Obama said, "No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation," though he did not specifically declare that the Libya attack had been an act of terrorism.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Obama entered the night under pressure to rescue his candidacy with a more assertive debate performance. In contrast to his distracted mien in the first debate, the president watched his rival intently, sometimes leaning toward him as he listened from his perch on a stool. Romney, who returned time and again to the struggles of the American people, addressed the president directly, demanding answers in a prosecutorial manner.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">An exchange over energy policy turned into a rapid back-and-forth over Romney's claim that oil and gas production on public lands was down under Obama. The two men spoke over each other as they faced off onstage.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"You'll get your chance in a moment. I'm still speaking," Romney said, and Obama turned his back to him and walked away.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The second presidential debate of the general election campaign, scheduled to end after 90 minutes, lasted nearly an additional 10. It was during the final moments that Obama zeroed in on Romney's remark about the 47% of Americans who paid no federal income tax last year and therefore, Romney had said, relied on government to fulfill their needs, a group that includes millions of seniors on Social Security and veterans.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"I want to fight for them. That's what I've been doing for the last four years, because if they succeed, I believe the country succeeds," said Obama, who had the last word. Romney could not respond, though he had said moments earlier, "I care about 100% of the American people."</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">From the outset, Obama was in an attacking mode. It was a signal that he had intended to engage his rival and defend himself far more aggressively than he did in the first debate, which recast the 2012 race after Romney was declared the winner. Polls taken since that event have shown Romney gaining and the contest statistically tied, three weeks before election day.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Though Obama's decision to engage his rival probably denied Romney a second consecutive debate win, the Republican stood his ground. He was at his best when he described the contours of a still struggling economy.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"We just can't afford four more years like the last four years," he said in response to audience member Michael Jones, who said he supported Obama in 2008 but that he was no longer as optimistic. "The president has tried, but his policies haven't worked. He's great as a speaker and describing his plans and his vision. That's wonderful, except we have a record to look at."</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He challenged Obama over the high price of gasoline, the president's failure to advance immigration reform in his first year in office and his inability to reduce the government's budget deficit or see the jobless rate come down more sharply.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Century Fox Exclusive: <a href="http://centuryfoxpost.blogspot.in/2012/07/us-poverty-highest-since-1960s.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;"> American Poverty is highest since 1960.</span></a></b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But Romney also appeared to contradict himself when he stated that all women should have access to contraception, though he supported an amendment in Congress that would allow employers to deny birth-control coverage to their workers. He refused to acknowledge that he had changed his position on restricting assault weapons and skirted a question about the hard-line stance he took during the GOP primaries on immigration, an issue the candidates debated for the first time Tuesday night.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Obama's wide-ranging assault — on everything from Romney's personal tax rate, his comments about "the 47%" and his work as a venture capitalist, to his policies on taxation, immigration, contraception and healthcare — were studded with specific details designed to portray the Republican challenger as an avatar of the wealthy.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Gov. Romney doesn't have a five-point plan; he has a one-point plan. And that plan is to make sure that folks at the top play by a different set of rules," Obama said.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He also linked Romney to the unpopular Republican Congress, something he had failed to do earlier. And the president pivoted repeatedly from his critique of Romney to signal that, unlike his GOP rival, he intended to look out for the middle class.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"When Gov. Romney stands here, after a year of campaigning, when during a Republican primary he stood on stage and said, 'I'm going to give you tax cuts' — he didn't say rate cuts, he said 'tax cuts to everybody,' including the top 1% — you should believe him, because that's been his history," Obama said. "And that's exactly the kind of top-down economics that is not going to work if we want a strong middle class and an economy that is striving for everybody."</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But when Obama returned to an earlier theme of his campaign attack ads, outlining what he described as Romney's efforts to profit from investments in companies that export U.S. jobs to China and other countries, Romney challenged Obama's own investments.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Mr. President, have you looked at your pension?" Romney asked three times.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Obama replied that he hadn't because it wasn't as large as Romney's, prompting the GOP nominee to respond: "You also have investments in Chinese companies. You also have investments outside the United States. You also have investments through a Cayman's trust, all right?" Obama did not respond before Crowley turned the discussion back to immigration.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 1.43;"><br />The debate, held at Hofstra University on New York's</span><span style="line-height: 1.43;"> </span>Long Island<span style="line-height: 1.43;">, was politics in the round. The candidates shared an intimate, red-carpeted stage in the school's sports arena with 82 local voters seated on semicircular risers. Crowley, the moderator, chose the questions, in advance, from written submissions by the voters, who were selected by the Gallup polling organization from surrounding Nassau County, a close suburb of New York City.</span>At times, Romney revived a tendency, which surfaced during the GOP primary debates, of complaining about the debate rules not being enforced. The moderator had to wrestle both men, but especially Romney, for control.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Televised debates have been unusually important throughout the 2012 contest. During the Republican nomination battle, strong debate performances propelled a changing cast of GOP candidates into the lead. Others fell from contention after stumbling in multi-candidate forums. Romney's commanding performance in his first meeting with Obama two weeks ago reenergized his flagging campaign, and he has continued to make progress in head-to-head polling matchups against the president.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a landmark for the fall campaign, Romney reached 50% Tuesday for the first time in Gallup's national preference poll of likely voters. Obama was at 46%.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The two men will meet in a final debate next Monday in Florida, which has more electoral votes than any other swing state.</span></div>

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1391785175031499538" style="outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img alt="Questions raised over Tendulkar getting Australian honour" id="text_image" src="http://static.cricketnext.in.com/pix/sitepix/03_2012/sachinkisseshelmet_630.jpg" style="border: none; width: 676.5px;" title="Questions raised over Tendulkar getting Australian honour" /></span></a><br />
<br />
<div class="line_hight" id="article_contener" style="line-height: 22px !important; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>(Century Fox Post):</b> Questions have been raised over the decision to honour Sachin Tendulkar with an Order of Australia, with an Australian MP and sports commentators across the country terming it as 'soft diplomacy' from Australia to please the Indian government.</span></div>
<div class="line_hight" id="article_contener" style="line-height: 22px !important; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While An Australian politician Rob Oakshott has questioned Prime Minister Julia Gillard's decision to award Tendulkar, columnists of well-respected newspapers Down Under condemned the decision. "I love Sachin Tendulkar, I love cricket. but I just have a problem with soft diplomacy as you call it," he said, adding "Getting in on the act of the Australian honours." </span></div>
<div class="line_hight" id="article_contener" style="line-height: 22px !important; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oakeshott pointed out that the honour should be given to an Australian for doing community work and not Tendulkar. "I'm not going to die in a ditch over it...but it's about the integrity of the honours list which should be for Australians," he said.</span></div>
<article id="article_contener" style="margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 10px 0px 0px;"><div id="below" style="line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Peter Munro, who writes for <i>Brisbane Times</i>, termed the move as "curious" and the one which has been done to bolster relations between the two nations. "Short of sending a ship-load of uranium to India, Ms Gillard's nod to Tendulkar in what she called the "cricket-mad nation" has worked wonders in bolstering relations with our fastest-growing export market," he said.</span></div>
<div id="below" style="line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Century Fox Reports: <a href="http://centuryfoxpost.blogspot.in/2012/10/mp-sachin-tendulkar-wants-to-help.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;">MP Sachin Tendulkar wants to improve sports in Schools.</span></a></b></span></div>
<div id="below" style="line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Munro questioned the decision saying Tendulkar has done nothing to benefit Australia apart from entertaining them by playing cricket. "Sure, many Australians like cricket and Tendulkar is particularly good at playing it. But beyond giving us something to watch over summer, what has he done to benefit Australia?"</span></div>
<div id="below" style="line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oakshott said that Tendulkar was an "obvious diplomatic touch point", and he further suggested setting up an inter-nation award, such as an "Australia-India award".</span></div>
<div id="below" style="line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There was also uproar on <i>Twitter</i> following the announcement of Tendulkar getting the honour, with many reacting angrily at the decision.</span></div>
<div id="below" style="line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Australian cricket writer Malcolm Conn said in his tweet: "@malcolmconn: #cricket How can PM Julia Gillard award Tendulkar an Order of Australia after his central role in the Monkeygate racism scandal?"</span></div>
<div id="below" style="line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another Australian sports journalist Greg Baum reacted sharpily to the news, saying: "@GregBaum: I love Sachin, but Order of Australia? I only ever saw him making disorder of Australia."</span></div>
<div id="below" style="line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">During her visit to New Delhi on Tuesday, Gillard announced that Tendulkar an Order of Australia, an award given to an individual for his achievement or merit in service to Australia or humanity in general, will be conferred on Tendulkar for his contribution to the sport.</span></div>
<div id="below" style="line-height: 22px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tendulkar was elated after hearing the news hoping it would further "cement the bond" between the two countries. "I indeed feel privileged and honoured at receiving this recognition," Tendulkar said from South Africa where he is representing Mumbai Indians in the ongoing Champions League Twenty20 tournament. "I hope that this honour will further cement the bond between the two countries, we both share a unique love for cricket," he added</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">LONDON</span></b></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;"> — European Union governments Tuesday imposed their toughest sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program. EU and U.S. officials say sanctions are vital to curbing Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions. But some analysts say the sanctions have failed to do that and are causing Iranians to suffer as the value of Iran's currency plummets.<br /><br />Shuttling across the narrow Strait of Hormuz are Iran's high speed smugglers.<br /><br />Using boats equipped with 200 horsepower engines, they take goods - everything from luxury perfume to livestock - from Oman across to Iran, avoiding import duties on the way.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="281" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/oTrAivugeKc" width="500"></iframe><br /><br />But the plunging rial currency is hitting even this illicit trade. The smugglers say Iranians can no longer afford their goods.<br /><br />"It's very intense, over there, on that side, it's very intense. It's really hurting the people. The authorities are really hurting everyone and everything," said one teenage smuggler.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;"><b>Century Fox News: <a href="http://centuryfoxpost.blogspot.in/2012/09/iran-israeli-strike-could-trigger-world.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;">Iran stated, "Israel attack could trigger World War III."</span></a></b><br /><br />European Union ministers decided on Monday to expand sanctions against Iran and on Tuesday listed more than 30 Iranian firms as being targeted. Iran insists its nuclear program is for civilian purposes and denies it is trying to develop an atomic bomb.<br /><br />The West says sanctions are the main way to pressure Iran and forestall military conflict.<br /><br />"We have decided on a further package of sanctions, to increase pressure and make negotiations more substantial, in the areas of trade and banking, transport and energy," Westerwelle said. "In addition we will enforce measures to put an end to bypassing sanctions," said Guido Westerwelle, Germany's foreign minister.<br /><br />Iran's economy, both legitimate and clandestine, is suffering. And on Tuesday, Iran slammed the EU sanctions as "inhuman and ineffective." <br /><br />The plunging currency has sparked protests in Tehran.<br /><br />"This is hitting the Iranians hard in the pocket. Also with the restrictions on imports, there's growing food shortages. That was seen especially around Ramadan with shortages of chicken for instance which again affected the ordinary Iranians incredibly. We're going to see this sort of thing increasing more and more," said Jamie Ingram, a Middle East Analyst at IHS Global Insight.<br /><br />Analysts say sanctions targeting Iran's oil industry have hit hard and the country is scrambling to find new markets.<br /><br />Iran's Energy Minister Majid Namjoo visited New Delhi last week and expressed hope that Indian businesses would invest in Iran.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span>

Again, analyst Jamie .<br /><br />"A large part of the social bargain between the ruling mullahs, the government and the people is based on the provision of services. This is going to become increasingly embarrassing for the government and the pressure could tell eventually," Ingram said.<br /><br />With few signs of a diplomatic breakthrough, analysts say the latest round of EU sanctions will tighten the economic stranglehold on Iran's economy even further.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Media and analysts have said for months that Apple has an “iPad mini” in the works. The tablet is thought to be about half the size of the regular iPad and to start at $249 or $299. The regular iPad starts at $499 for the most recent models.</span></div>

The full-size iPad has a 9.7-inch (24.6-centimeter) screen, giving it about twice the display area as the 7-inch (17.7-centimeter) units.</span></div>

Shares of the company, valued at about $7.9 billion, rose as much as 3.83 percent to 606.9 rupees in early Mumbai trading, their highest since March 2000. The shares were up 0.6 percent at 10:18 a.m.</div>

"This is a time when clients are really looking to cut costs, especially in many areas of services that are becoming commoditised.

<div class="article_body" style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 16px 0px 0px;">
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">NBC comedy stars<strong> <span style="color: magenta;">Tina Fey</span> </strong>and <strong><span style="color: magenta;">Amy Poehler</span> </strong>will host the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards, it was announced Monday. </span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 30px;">The Globes are set to be broadcast Jan 13, 2013.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The hosts team is something of a coup for the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., which awards the Globes each January, and for Dick Clark Productions, which produces the high-rated show for NBC. Fey, the popular creator-star of <em>30 Rock</em> and such films as <em>Date Night </em>and <em>Mean Girls</em>, has in the past turned down overtures to host the Academy Awards. She and Poehler, who stars on NBC's<em>Parks and Recreation</em>, are friends and former <em>SNL </em>castmates.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Having both Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on board to host this year’s festivities is a major coup,” said <strong>Paul Telegdy</strong>, president of alternative and late-night programming for NBC Entertainment, in a statement. “Tina and Amy have a proven chemistry and comedic timing from their many years together on<em>SNL</em> to their successful co-starring roles in <em>Baby Mama</em>.”</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Century Fox News: <a href="http://centuryfoxpost.blogspot.in/2012/09/primetime-emmy-award-winners-2012.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;">More about 'Primetime Emmy Award Winners'</span></a></b></span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The hiring of Fey, 42, and Poehler, 41, two well-known comic talents with big fan bases — and large followings among women, who make up the majority of awards-show viewers — could be seen as a direct shot by the Globes at the Oscars, which went with a lesser-known and more male-skewing host in <strong>Seth MacFarlane</strong>. </span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In addition, the Academy, in a move perceived by some in Hollywood to be an attack on the Globes, moved up its voting deadline this year so that the Oscar nominations announcement will take place Jan 10, three days <em>before</em> the Globes ceremony. (In past years, the Oscar noms were announced after the Globes.) With the Oscar nominees known, the thinking goes, viewers might be less interested in which actors win Globes, and some presenters and honorees might be less inclined to participate in the Globes if they were overlooked by the Academy and would be asked about the snubs on the red carpet. </span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“The unparalleled comedic timing of Tina and Amy will surely have viewers wanting to tune in to see them in action,” said HFPA president <strong>Aida Takla-O'Reilly</strong> in a statement. “The HFPA is thrilled to have the magnetic duo be a part of the show’s 70th anniversary!”</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 2013 Globes is a key show for organizers. It's the first ceremony to take place after Dick Clark Productions was purchased in September by Guggenheim Partners for about $370 million, more than twice what the company was sold for in 2007. (Guggenheim also is an owner of <em>The Hollywood Reporter</em> parent company Prometheus Global Media.) And the January show is the first to take place in the wake of a key ruling in the long-running litigation between the HFPA and Dick Clark over whether the production company had the right in 2010 to negotiate a long-term television deal with NBC that lasts until 2018. In May, a judge ruled in favor of Dick Clark, and the HFPA has appealed.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Globes also will be the first ceremony since the April death of <strong>Dick Clark</strong>, who rescued the show in the early 1980s when it had lost its broadcast network television deal and set it on a path to success. Clark's death will likely be acknowledged on the 2013 show.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Hempstead, New York (CNN)</strong> -- President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney face off Tuesday in the second of their three debates, this one in a town hall-style setting in which they'll take questions from likely voters.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph2" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The stakes couldn't be higher: Obama must get his campaign back on track after a poor performance in the first debate that left Democrats demoralized and Obama's lead evaporating both in national polls and those in key battleground states. For Romney, who polls among voters showed won the first debate overwhelmingly, a second strong performance would boost his momentum going into the third debate next Monday and the final two weeks before Election Day.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph3" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are five things to watch for on Tuesday:</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph4" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. Connecting with the audience</span></strong></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph5" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Unlike the first presidential showdown in Denver two weeks ago, this debate will include a town hall audience of approximately 80 undecided voters, some of whom will get the chance to ask questions to the two candidates.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph6" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's a completely different dynamic than the first face-off between the president and the Republican nominee.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph6" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>More News: <a href="http://centuryfoxpost.blogspot.in/2012/10/top-10-debate-moments-of-us-elections.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;">Top 10 Presidential Debate Moments</span></a></b></span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph7" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"The challenge is that they've got to connect, not just with the people that are looking into the television and watching them, but to the people that are on the stage with them," the debate's moderator, CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley, said.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph9" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"They have to keep those folks in mind. It's a much more intimate and up close adventure with voters. The candidate that makes a connection with the person asking the question is also making a better connection with the person back at home," added Crowley, who's also the host of CNN's "State of the Union."</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph10" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With no podium to hide behind in Tuesday's debate, the candidates' style and body language will be in the spotlight. If you don't think this matters, flash back 20 years to the first town hall-style presidential debate when then-President George H.W. Bush repeatedly checked his watch. It was a sign, some thought, that the incumbent would rather have been anywhere else than debating Democratic challenger Bill Clinton.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Arkansas governor highlighted his ability to connect to voters by walking towards the town hall audience when answering a question about the recession.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Democratic strategist and CNN contributor Paul Begala, who was chief strategist for Clinton's campaign, agrees with Crowley on the importance of connecting with the audience.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph13" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"If you do that -- with empathy, compassion, understanding and cool strength -- you will win the debate and the election," said Begala, who's a senior adviser for a pro-Obama super PAC.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph14" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. Find a warm place</span></strong></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph15" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After a lackluster performance in the first debate, it's obvious the president needs to step it up in Round 2. Even Obama himself admits he was flat in the face-off in Denver, telling ABC News, "I had a bad night."</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph16" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The big question is how aggressive will the president be in this second showdown?</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph17" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Obama needs to look like a fighter. The normally cool president needs to heat it up, but he can't come off looking overly aggressive or negative. That might smack of desperation.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph17" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Century Fox reports: <a href="http://centuryfoxpost.blogspot.in/2012/10/obama-is-even-losing-hollywood.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;">Obama is even losing Hollywood</span></a></b></span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph18" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Don't over-correct. Don't go from being too passive in the first debate to too aggressive in the second," Begala cautioned. "You need the Goldilocks Strategy: Not as cool as the first debate, not as hot as Vice President Joe Biden."</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph20" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Making Obama's task even tougher is the debate format. Many of the questions from the audience of undecided voters may focus on the president's record the past four years, forcing Obama to defend himself in front of the crowd, before attempting to pivot to criticizing his GOP challenger.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph21" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's a delicate dance.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph22" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But Begala says Obama can learn from Biden's performance at last week's vice presidential debate by emulating "Biden's combination of facts with common sense."</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph23" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And we're also going to watch to see if the president plays the empathy card.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph24" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Obama needs to connect the struggles and sacrifices his family made to the struggles families in the town hall audience are going through. Romney can't do that," Begala added.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph25" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. Getting women's issues into the conversation</span></strong></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph26" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Obama pollster Joel Benenson released a harshly worded memo on Monday attacking the Gallup organization over a new poll, released in tandem with USA Today, that showed Romney now tied with Obama among women voters.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph27" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You read that right. After months of leading Romney by double digits among women, his lead among female voters has effectively vanished, if you believe that poll.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph27" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Century Fox Reports: <a href="http://centuryfoxpost.blogspot.in/2012/10/is-obama-employing-rope-dope-debate.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;">Will Obama employ the "Rope-A-Dope" strategy?</span> </a></b></span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph28" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Benenson savaged Gallup's methodology and dismissed the poll as an outlier. He's correct that no other survey has shown Romney performing that well among women.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph29" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But for Chicago's sake, he better be right. Along with his impenetrable lead among Hispanics and a near total hold on African-American voters, Obama has led Romney all year thanks to his robust support among women. If that disappears, so do the president's re-election hopes.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph30" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What does this mean for Tuesday night?</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph31" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Women-specific issues -- topics like abortion, contraception, child care, education -- did not come up at length in the first Obama-Romney showdown.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph33" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They did in the vice presidential debate, however, and Romney running mate Paul Ryan scored poorly among women in debate-watching focus groups when he explained Romney's opposition to abortion rights.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph34" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If Obama hopes to lock in his lead among women, he must find a way to get issues like abortion and contraception in the spotlight in order to draw a sharp contrast with Romney.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph35" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. Strong performance pays off -- literally</span></strong></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph36" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A strong debate showing doesn't just move numbers, it raises money.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph37" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Romney's energetic performance in Denver -- which voters judged as a clear win, polls showed -- accomplished something very important for the Republican nominee.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph38" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In short, his supporters now like him.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph39" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Before the debate, according to a Washington Post/ABC News poll out Monday, fewer than half of Romney supporters said they were "very enthusiastic" about his candidacy. Today, the "very enthusiastic" number is up to 62% among likely voters.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph40" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That's crucial for Romney, who needs a fired-up base of supporters to show up on Election Day.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph41" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But the more immediate post-debate impact was financial: Romney raised more than $12 million online in the 48 hours after Denver, his campaign announced just a few days after the debate.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph42" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And if a campaign is rolling out fundraising data before the federal deadline for financial reports, you know they're feeling good.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph43" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On top of that, the campaign said it raised $27 million online from low-dollar contributors in the first two weeks of October.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph45" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That's good money for a campaign currently engaged in an all-out television ad blitz in key swing states.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph46" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Both campaigns are in the process of emptying their war chests for the final three-week push before Election Day. A burst of online donations means an extra TV ad here and a final volley of mail pieces there. In a race this right, every little bit counts.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph47" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. Watch out for the wild card</span></strong></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph48" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The economy is still issue No. 1 for voters in this election. Foreign policy and national security have also crept into the discussion, with tensions in the Middle East slightly eroding Obama's edge over Romney on the commander-in-chief question.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph49" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But unlike in the previous two debates, when editorial control rested in the hands of the moderator, Monday's debate is a town-hall style forum, in which the audience, about 80 undecided voters from Nassau County, will be the ones generating questions for the candidates.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph50" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That means there's a real chance Obama and Romney will have to talk about something that might not have come up in their exhaustive debate prep sessions.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph51" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A question on affirmative action? Funding for AIDS-relief efforts overseas? Guns? NFL head-trauma? Is that Brody guy from "Homeland" really a terrorist?</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph52" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Theoretically, anything is on the table. The moderator, Candy Crowley, and her team will have final say over the submitted questions.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph53" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But with regular people in the mix, there's always potential for a wild card that could throw one or both of the candidates off his game.</span></div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph53" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">

The NSG, according to sources, is now guarding the least number of protectees — 15 VVIPs/ </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">VIPs</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"> — after a long time following the de-induction of a large number of commandos.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">"The force has shifted one of its three VIP security units — the 11 </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Special Rangers Group</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"> (SRG) for training in specialist counter-terror operations as part of its original charter," an official said.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">The development has come at a time when there is a raging debate on whether an elite force constituted for such key duty as special operations in terror situations should be guarding VIPs. NSG commandos were deployed for VIP security duties in 1992. It was raised under a parliamentary Act in 1984 as a federal contingency force.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">The formations of the NSG are segregated into five units, two </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Special Action Groups</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"> (SAGs) manned by officers and jawans from the </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Army</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"> and three SRGs comprising personnel from paramilitary forces.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">"One unit has been de-inducted from rendering VIP security duties.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the '70s and '80s, a series of studies from the university, which has tracked tens of thousands of Seventh-day Adventists since 1958, were the first to show that vegetarians live longer than meat eaters.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Seventh-day Adventists have long been known as advocates of a vegetarian diet. The new research presented at Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics' 2012 Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo is halfway into completion and includes 96,000 people from the US and Canada. Principal investigator Gary E Fraser revealed that the new study found that vegans are, on average, 13 kilogrammes lighter than meat eaters and five units lighter on the Body Mass Index scale than meat-eaters.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Vegetarians are also less insulin resistant. Lean people are also more likely to exercise regularly, eat plants, and avoid cigarettes than overweight people.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Researchers analysed samples of soil collected from the Moon by the Apollo missions and found it contained water in the form of compounds called hydroxyls.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="secondPar">
<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The water was most likely formed on the surface of the Moon by the constant stream of charged particles ejected from the Sun known as "solar wind", the scientists said.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="thirdPar">
<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The traditional view that the Moon was entirely dry has been proven incorrect in recent years, with growing evidence that icy drops of water can be found on its surface.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="fourthPar">
<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In 2009, a Nasa satellite slammed into a crater and threw up a plume which scientists found contained an unexpectedly high amount of ice, and small amounts of water have also been found in powder and rock in the Moon's outer layer.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="fifthPar">
<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But although the discoveries have proven the existence of water, the problem which has continued to baffle scientists is where it came from.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="body">
<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now a new paper by researchers from the University of Tennessee suggests the water was produced on the Moon's surface rather than being delivered there by a comet or other piece of space debris.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Solar wind is a flow of particles continually flowing away from the Sun. The Earth's magnetic field deflects them away from our planet, but the Moon has no such protection.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Researchers analysed the soil samples and found that they had similar chemical properties to charged hydrogen particles found in the solar wind.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The findings suggest the hydrogen was brought to the surface of the Moon in the solar wind, and then combined with oxygen to form hydroxyls, compounds similar to water which contain one hydrogen and one oxygen atom. These were then stored in the soil.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Youxue Zhang, one of the researchers, said: "Our work shows that the 'water' component, the hydroxyl, is widespread in lunar materials, although not in the form of ice or liquid water that can easily be used in a future manned lunar base."</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lead author Yang Liu added: "This also means that water likely exists on Mercury and on asteroids such as Vesta or Eros further within our solar system. These planetary bodies have very different environments, but all have the potential to produce water."</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In an accompanying comment article in the Nature Geoscience Journal Dr Marc Chaussidon of the Université de Lorraine in France wrote that the findings were "opening the door to another source of water for inner Solar System bodies".</span></div>
