The UID (Unique Identity) Scheme is one of the most ambitious projects of the UPA government. The agenda to set up the UID Authority of India (UIDAI), under the parameters of the Planning Commission, is targeted at providing a unique identity to most of the population of the flagship schemes to ensure that the benefits reach them. The unique identification number would ensure that any lacuna in these schemes is removed so that the benefits do not reach those they are not meant for.

en.wikipedia.org Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (born October 26, 1947) is the 67th United States Secretary of State, serving in the administration of President Barack Obama. She was a United States Senator from New York from 2001 to 2009. She was a leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in the 2008 election. A native of Illinois, Hillary Rodham first attracted national attention in 1969 for her remarks as the first student to deliver the commencement address at Wellesley College. She embarked on a career in law after graduating from Yale Law School in 1973. Following a stint as a Congressional legal counsel, she moved to Arkansas in 1974 and married Bill Clinton in 1975. In 1977, Rodham co-founded the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families. In 1978, she became the first female chair of the Legal Services Corporation. She was named the first female partner at Rose Law Firm in 1979, and was twice listed as one of the one hundred most influential lawyers in America. She specialized in patent infringement and intellectual property law,[34] while also working pro bono in child advocacy;[69] she rarely performed litigation work in court.[70] Rodham maintained her interest in children's law and family policy, publishing the scholarly articles "Children's Policies: Abandonment and Neglect" in 1977[71] and "Children's Rights: A Legal Perspective" in 1979.[72] The latter continued her argument that children's legal competence depended upon their age and other circumstances, and that serious medical rights cases, judicial intervention was sometimes warranted.[48] An American Bar Association chair later said, "Her articles were important, not because they were radically new but because they helped formulate something that had been inchoate."[48] Historian Garry Wills would later describe her as "one of the more important scholar-activists of the last two decades",[73] while conservatives said her theories would usurp traditional parental authority,[74] allow children to file frivolous lawsuits against their parents,[48] and argued that her work was legal "crit" theory run amok.[75] After the Iraq War began, Clinton made trips to both Iraq and Afghanistan to visit American troops stationed there. On a visit to Iraq in February 2005, Clinton noted that the insurgency had failed to disrupt the democratic elections held earlier, and that parts of the country were functioning well.[214] Noting that war deployments were draining regular and reserve forces, she co-introduced legislation to increase the size of the regular United States Army by 80000 soldiers to ease the strain.[215] In late 2005, Clinton said that while immediate withdrawal from Iraq would be a mistake, Bush's pledge to stay "until the job is done" was also misguided, as it gave Iraqis "an open-ended invitation not to take care of themselves."[216] Her stance caused frustration among those in the Democratic party who favored immediate withdrawal.[217] Clinton supported retaining and improving health benefits for veterans, and lobbied against the closure of several military bases.

Sri Swami Vivekananda the divinely light of world People. Tamil Speech by SVRamani. Spiritual genius Vivekananda Born on 12-1-1863 in the Datta family of Calcutta, the youthful Vivekananda embraced the agnostic philosophies of the Western mind along with the worship of science. At the same time, vehement in his desire to know the truth about God, he questioned people of holy reputation, asking them if they had seen God. He found such a person in Sri Ramakrishna, who became his master, allayed his doubts, gave him God vision, and transformed him into sage and prophet with authority to teach. After Sri Ramakrishna's death, Vivekananda renounced the world and crises-crossed India as a wandering monk. His mounting compassion for India's people drove him to seek their material help from the West. Accepting an opportunity to represent Hinduism at Chicago's Parliament of Religions in 1893, Vivekananda won instant celebrity in America and a ready forum for his spiritual teaching. For three years he spread the Vedanta philosophy and religion in America and England and then returned to India to found the Ramakrishna Math and Mission. Exhorting his nation to spiritual greatness, he wakened India to a new national consciousness. He died July 4, 1902, after a second, much shorter sojourn in the West. His lectures and writings will guide all the people from ignorance and self confidence.

Obamas Financial Regulatory Reform Plan is Nothing of the Sort Kurt Nimmo Infowars June 17, 2009Obamas misnamed Financial Regulatory Reform Plan is a brazen attempt by the bankers to consolidate their power. www.infowars.com Obamas plan will be run out of the Treasury under former New York Fed Grand Poobah Timothy Geithner. Obama — or rather, the bankers who own Obama — has devised something called a Financial Services Oversight Council to be chaired by the bankster dominated Treasury Department. This uber-council would call the shots for every financial firm in the country and supposedly refer emerging risks to the attention of regulators with the authority to respond, even as Obama plans to call for the US Office of Thrift Supervision to close under the direction of the Federal Reserve. Instead of independent bank regulators, Obama proposes a National Bank Supervisor who would have separate status within Treasury and be led by a single executive, according to Clusterstock. The NBS czar would occupy a centralized post in enemy territory and take over the prudential responsibilities of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which currently charters and supervises nationally chartered banks and federal branches and agencies of foreign banks.

A relative of mine recently had trouble with their Dell Dimension 4700 after a power outage. The computer would not start, and it took hours and hours on the phone with Dell, and $65 to get the computer running again. (open cover, pull out memory cards, battery, put back) This chain of events was caused by LIPA, our electric company, not updating the antiquated power grid on Nassau's north shore. A transformer blew, like it does every month in Great Neck, and LIPA doesn't seem to understand the words LARGER TRANSFORMER NEEDED. Dell's support is torture, one hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing, and it takes practically a whole day and quite a few phone "techs" to finally find the problem. All thanks to shipping our jobs overseas. And Mr.Change aint doing a damn thing about it, except handing more tax money over to corporations.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi Hi-mohandas_karamchand_gandhi_pronunciation.ogg listen (help·info) (Gujarati:(2 October 1869 30 January 1948) was the pre-eminent political and spiritual leader of India and the Indian independence movement. He was the pioneer of satyagraha—resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience, firmly founded upon ahimsa or total non-violence—which led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. He is commonly known around the world as Mahatma Gandhi (Sanskrit: महात्मा mahātmā or "Great Soul", an honorific first applied to him by Rabindranath Tagore), and in India also as Bapu (Gujarati: બાપુ bāpu or "Father"). He is officially honoured in India as the Father of the Nation; his birthday, 2 October, is commemorated there as Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday, and worldwide as the International Day of Non-Violence. In December 1921, Gandhi was invested with executive authority on behalf of the Indian National Congress. Under his leadership, the Congress was reorganized with a new constitution, with the goal of Swaraj. Membership in the party was opened to anyone prepared to pay a token fee. A hierarchy of committees was set up to improve discipline, transforming the party from an elite organization to one of mass national appeal. Gandhi expanded his non-violence platform to include the swadeshi policy — the boycott of foreign-made goods, especially British goods. Linked to this was his advocacy that khadi (homespun cloth) be worn by all Indians instead of British-made textiles. Gandhi exhorted Indian men and women, rich or poor, to spend time each day spinning khadi in support of the independence movement.[10] This was a strategy to inculcate discipline and dedication to weed out the unwilling and ambitious, and to include women in the movement at a time when many thought that such activities were not respectable activities for women. In addition to boycotting British products, Gandhi urged the people to boycott British educational institutions and law courts, to resign from government employment, and to forsake British titles and honours.
To REGISTER: mtsu36.mtsu.edu 6 students have enrolled but we need 4 more!!! Defining a Nation: India on the Eve of Independence,1945 is set at Simla, in the foothills of the Himalayas, where the British viceroy has invited leaders of various religious and political constituencies to work out the future of Britain's largest colony. Will the British transfer power to the Indian National Congress, which claims to speak for all Indians? Or will a separate Muslim state-Pakistan-be carved out of India to be ruled by Muslims, as the Muslim League proposes? And what will happen to the vulnerable minorities-such as the Sikhs and untouchables-or the hundreds of princely states? As British authority wanes, smoldering tensions among Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs increasingly flare into violent riots that threaten to ignite all India. Towering above it all is the frail but formidable figure of Gandhi, whom some revere as an apostle of non-violence and others regard as a conniving Hindu politician. Students struggle to reconcile religious identity with nation building-perhaps the most intractable and important issue of the modern world. Texts include the literature of Hindu revival (Chatterjee, Tagore and Tilak); the Koran and the literature of Islamic nationalism (Iqbal); and the writings of Ambedkar, Nehru, Jinnah, and Gandhi.

Citing the "threat of global climate disruption," California Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. today joined three national environmental organizations in petitioning the United States Environmental Protection Agency to adopt strict greenhouse gas regulations for ocean-going vessels. The petition asks the EPA to make specific findings that ships significantly contribute to global warming. At a news conference at the attorney general's headquarters in Los Angeles, Brown said: "The US EPA has the authority to curb greenhouse gas emissions and our petition today asks the agency to exercise that authority without delay." Ocean-going vessels, in total, emit more CO2 emissions than any nation in the world except the US, Russia, China, Japan, India and Germany. Ominously, these emissions are projected to increase nearly 75% during the next 20 years. "International law guarantees a right of �innocent passage' for all ocean-going vessels, but this right does not include polluting the air or water near our coastal cities," Brown said. "If the US is to do its part in reducing the threat of global climate disruption, then EPA must limit the global warming emissions from ships that enter the ports of the United States," Brown added. Under the Clean Air Act, California has the authority to file a petition asking the EPA to establish CO2 emissions standards. In the petition filed today, Brown asks the EPA to: -Make a finding that carbon dioxide emissions from ocean-going vessels contribute to air pollution and endanger human health and welfare. -Set standards for reducing such carbon dioxide emissions. Brown said that under the reasoning of the United States Supreme Court's holding in Massachusetts v. EPA, the Environmental Protection Agency has the authority to adopt standards for greenhouse gas emissions from vessels that enter US territorial waters. The United Nations International Maritime Organization (IMO) has authority under international treaties to establish pollution standards for vessels but to date has failed to adopt controls on greenhouse gas emissions. At a recent meeting of the IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee, it was agreed to inventory greenhouse gases by 2009, but no commitment was made to regulate such emissions.
