Gujarat Police claiming threat to husband's life

A day after Sanjeev Bhatt was arrested, the suspended Gujarat IPS officers wife on Saturday wrote a letter to Gujarat's Director General of Police (DGP) Chitranjan Singh and Ahmedabad Police Commissioner Sudhir Sinha, saying there is a threat to her husband's life.
In the letter, Bhatt's wife Shweta also asked her husband shouldn't be interrogated at night and demanded to know why he was shifted to the Crime Branch.
Shweta also told the television channel Times Now that neither she nor Bhatt's lawyer were being allowed to meet him.
Bhatt had accused Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi of complicity in 2002 post-Godhra riots.
Bhatt was arrested on the basis of a complaint filed by a junior officer KD Pant. Pant alleged that Bhatt had forced him to back his allegations on record against Narendra Modi.
The Narendra Modi Government had ordered the suspension of the Inspector General-rank police officer in August this year on the grounds that his conduct was unbecoming of an IPS officer.

Medical seat sale racket

It is not only Munnabhai in the blockbuster 'Munnabhai MBBS' who lands a medical seat with a proxy writing the entrance exams for him. There are gangs engaged in similar operations and making huge bucks by selling medical and dental seats, Karnataka Police have found.
Medical and dental seats cornered through proxies passing entrance exams are sold for sums ranging from Rs.7.5 million to Rs.9 million, police discovered after busting the racket.
Eleven people belonging to two groups involved in the racket have been arrested, Bangalore's Commissioner of Police B.G. Jyothiprakash Mirji told reporters Monday.
Of the arrested, eight were held for offering medical seats and three for dental seats, he said.
Mirji said the gang members would engage 'qualified and employed' people to write the common entrance test (CET) conducted by the Karnataka government for professional courses (medical, dental and engineering) courses.
The gangs would also engage such people to write similar test conducted for private colleges by COMED-K, a consortium of private medical, dental and engineering colleges.
The proxy 'students' who got the medical and dental seats would surrender them and these seats were sold by the gang as management quota seats for prices ranging from Rs.7.5 million to Rs.9 million, Mirji said.
Police stumbled on the racket on the complaints of a few students who had been promised the management quota seats but did not get them even after paying the amount to gang members.
The students went to police after they were threatened by the gang members when they sought return of the money.
Mirji said most of the students duped were from other states.
He said the arrests took place in Bangalore Saturday. Police seized Rs.2.5 million in cash and demand drafts amounting to Rs.1.25 million from the arrested.
Mirji appealed to students and their wards who had been cheated to provide details to the city police.

Azharuddin's son dies

Former Indian cricket captain Mohammad Azharuddin's son Ayazuddin, died on Friday, five days after being critically injured in a road accident.
Confirming the nes, doctors at the Apollo Hospital in Hyderabad said Ayazuddin had sustained critical injuries after a high-end sports bike he was driving skidded off the road at Puppalguda on Outer Ring Road (ORR) here last Sunday.
Ayazuddin's cousin, Ajmal-ur-Rahman (16) who was riding pillion, succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment.
Ayazuddin is the youngest of the two sons of Azharuddin from his first wife Naureen, whom he divorced to marry former actress Sangeeta Bijlani.
In a medical bulletin issued on Thursday evening, Apollo Hospitals (Central Region) CEO Dr K Hari Prasad said, "Brain function tests conducted on Ayazuddin indicate brain dysfunction. And his status remains critical.

2012 Liability For Obama


Barack Obama's road to re-election is lined with lots of boarded-up homes.
Though the high unemployment rate dominates talk in Washington, for many 2012 voters the housing crisis may well be a more powerful manifestation of a sick economy. And, in an unfortunate twist for Obama, the problem is at its worst in many of the battleground states that will be decisive in determining whether he gets another term.
Swing states Florida, Arizona, Nevada, Ohio and Michigan — they all pulse red-hot on a foreclosure rate "heat map." And by themselves those five add up to 80 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency.
Mortgage default notices surged nationally last month. One in every 118 homes in Nevada received a foreclosure filing in August, according to the foreclosure listing firm RealtyTrac. One in 248 in Arizona. One in 349 in Michigan. One in 376 in Florida. And so on.
A foreclosure's impact is visceral and outsized, rippling far beyond one household.
"Entire neighborhoods see what's going on," says Bill Galston, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a former Clinton administration official. "The visibility contributes to the psychology of continued economic troubles."
There's the in-your-face eyesore sometimes created by a vacant house next door sprouting weeds on the front lawn.
There's the downward pressure on housing values that can follow for everyone else in the neighborhood.
There's the welling frustration felt by neighboring homeowners who may owe more on their own mortgages than their homes are worth.
Nearly a quarter of all U.S. homeowners with mortgages are now underwater, representing nearly 11 million homes, according to CoreLogic, a real estate research firm.
Again, many of the states with the highest underwater mortgage rates also are political battleground states: In Nevada, 60 percent of homeowners are upside down, according to CoreLogic. Arizona is at 49 percent; Florida, 45 percent; Michigan, 36 percent.

Air Race Crash

A World War II-era fighter plane flown by a veteran Hollywood stunt pilot plunged Friday into the edge of the grandstands during a popular air race, killing three people, injuring more than 50 spectators and creating a horrific scene strewn with smoking debris.
The plane, piloted by 74-year-old Jimmy Leeward, spiraled out of control without warning and appeared to disintegrate upon impact. Bloodied bodies were spread across the area as people tended to the victims and ambulances rushed to the scene.
Authorities were investigating the cause, but an official with the event said there were indications that mechanical problems were to blame.
Maureen Higgins of Alabama, who has been coming to the air races for 16 years, said the pilot was on his third lap of a race when he lost control.
She was sitting about 30 yards from the crash and watched in horror as the man in front of her started bleeding after debris hit him in the head.
"I saw body parts and gore like you wouldn't believe it. I'm talking an arm, a leg," Higgins said "The alive people were missing body parts. I am not kidding you. It was gore. Unbelievable gore."
Among the dead was Leeward, of Ocala, Fla., a veteran airman and movie stunt pilot who named his P-51 Mustang fighter plane the "Galloping Ghost," according to Mike Houghton, president and CEO of Reno Air Races.
Renown Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Kathy Carter confirmed two others died, but did not provide their identities.
Stephanie Kruse, a spokeswoman for the Regional Emergency Medical Service Authority, told The Associated Press that emergency crews took a total of 56 injury victims to three hospitals. She said they also observed a number of people being transported by private vehicle, which they are not including in their count.
Kruse said of the total 56, at the time of transport, 15 were considered in critical condition, 13 were serious condition with potentially life-threatening injuries and 28 were non-serious or non-life-threatening.
"This is a very large incident, probably one of the largest this community has seen in decades," Kruse told The Associated Press. "The community is pulling together to try to deal with the scope of it. The hospitals have certainly geared up and staffed up to deal with it.

Tri-Nations decider

The Wallabies and the All Blacks have taken great pains to understate the significance of a win in Saturday's Tri-Nations decider in the overall scheme of things for the World Cup.
Yet the emphasis from all other quarters this week has been almost entirely on the World Cup which kicks off in two weeks.
The Australians, distracted early by the suspension of utility back James O'Connor for oversleeping and missing two functions coinciding with the World Cup squad announcement, have repeatedly said the Tri-Nations title is their only focus this week.
Big lock James Horwill, who led the Queensland Reds to the Super 15 title this season and has just displaced Rocky Elsom as Wallabies skipper, claimed the World Cup "hasn't even been mentioned" in camp.
Hardly likely. But his argument is that Australia hasn't won the southern hemisphere championship since 2001, and that's motivation enough.
"It's the Tri-Nations final, it's a big game. It's a sold-out stadium in front of hopefully 52,000 hostile Australian fans and we want to make sure we put in the performance that's worthy of the magnitude of the game that it is," Horwill told a news conference Friday. "We haven't had our hands on that trophy for 10 years, that's a long drought."
Both squads are as close to full strength as possible for the test that will be the last curtainraiser before the World Cup, where the teams ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the world are hoping to meet again in the Oct. 23 final.
Wallabies scrumhalf Will Genia needed six stitches in his head after a training collision with No. 8 Radike Samo on Tuesday, then pulled up practice early on Thursday after another knock from lock Rob Simmons, but is expected to be fit.
"A lot has been made of it but it's nothing too serious," Genia said. "I ... felt a bit foggy at training but just pulled out towards the end because I felt a bit off. I feel like I'm good to go."
All Blacks coach Graham Henry, who took a second-string team to South Africa last weekend and lost 18-5, thinks the preparation matches for the World Cup should be viewed separately from the tournament.
"Frankly, if you look at history it means nothing," Henry was quoted as saying Friday. "We played France in France before the last World Cup, won by 40-odd points and got beaten (by France) in the quarterfinal.
"It's got some significance, but I don't think it's great," he added. "You go into these contests, play good footy and hopefully do the business. At the end of the day does it tilt the balance in someone's favor to win the Rugby World Cup? I don't think so."
Genia said Henry might be playing down the World Cup significance a little bit too much.
"That's obviously what he's come out and said, but I doubt that's the case," Genia said. Horwill added that every team wanted to go into the World Cup on a win, regardless of who it was over.
Henry and his All Blacks are under immense pressure to win the World Cup on home soil and claim the Webb Ellis Trophy for the first time since the inaugural tournament in 1987 — the last time it was staged in New Zealand.
Despite being the perennial No. 1 in the rankings, the All Blacks have had some epic upsets in the World Cup and haven't figured in the final since losing a tight contest to South Africa in 1995.
Two-time World Cup champion Australia has an imposing record at Lang Park, winning 15 of the 18 test matches at the venue. But all three losses have been to New Zealand, including a 28-24 defeat here in 2008 in what was effectively the Tri-Nations series final that season.
And so the Australians have plenty to overcome before they leave for the World Cup, particularly after being outclassed in a 30-14 defeat to the All Blacks at Auckland in the Tri-Nations opener last month.
After being let down by his second-string lineup last weekend, giving the defending World Cup champion South Africans their only win of the Tri-Nations and letting Australia back into contention for the title, Henry is taking no chances in Brisbane.
He recalled flyhalf Dan Carter and skipper Richie McCaw among 11 changes to his starting 15, including a completely new-look backline featuring Ma'a Nonu at the expense of rugby league convert Sonny Bill Williams at center.
Australia's young and enterprising backline is considered its strength, but the Wallabies were forced into errors by the All Blacks in Auckland and go into the match even more unsettled.
Nonu will be marking Pat McCabe, a surprise selection this season at the expense of 92-test veteran Matt Giteau, and Anthony Fainga'a, a late inclusion in a reshuffled backline after O'Connor was banned for this test. Adam Ashley-Cooper was moved into the wing to accommodate the inclusion of Fainga'a.
Australia will have a 5-2 split of forwards to backs on the bench, with one of the remaining bench spots to be decided after the Barbarians play Canada at the Gold Coast on Friday.
Squads:
Australia: Kurtley Beale, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Anthony Fainga'a, Pat McCabe, Digby Ioane, Quade Cooper, Will Genia; Radike Samo, David Pocock, Rocky Elsom, James Horwill, Dan Vickerman, Ben Alexander, Stephen Moore, Sekope Kepu. Reserves: Saia Fainga'a, Salesi Ma'afu, Rob Simmons, Ben McCalman, Scott Higginbotham, Luke Burgess, TBA.
New Zealand: Mils Muliaina, Cory Jane, Conrad Smith, Ma'a Nonu, Zac Guildford, Dan Carter, Piri Weepu, Kieran Read, Richie McCaw (captain), Adam Thomson, Sam Whitelock, Brad Thorn, Owen Franks, Keven Mealamu, Tony Woodcock. Reserves: Andrew Hore, John Afoa, Ali Williams, Victor Vito, Andy Ellis, Colin Slade, Isaia Toeava.

Day Of Worlds

The star of the show will make his first appearance on the opening day of the world championships.
Usain Bolt, the Jamaican sprinter who has become the most recognizable name in athletics because of his blistering speed and over-the-top showmanship, will run in heats of the 100 meters on Saturday.
More world records, however, are not likely this time.
"People expect a lot from me," said Bolt, who set world marks in winning the 100 and 200 at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and then followed with two more at the 2009 worlds in Berlin. "Personally, I'm just focused on winning."
Bolt won't get a chance to win a medal on opening day, though, because the 100 final is set for Sunday. The only two medal events Saturday are in the women's 10,000 meters and marathon.
Vivian Cheruiyot, who won the 5,000 two years ago in Berlin, is aiming for a long-distance double this time. The Kenyan only started running competitively in the 10,000 this year, but is already one of the favorites along with defending champion Linet Masai and Meseret Defar.
Defar finished fifth in the 10,000 two years ago, and won the 5,000 in 2007 before finishing third in that event in Berlin.
In the marathon, Chinese runners Zhou Chunxiu and Zhu Xiaolin will be bidding to make it two in a row for their country after Bai Xue won in Berlin. Edna Kiplagat, who was third at the London Marathon in April, will also be contending for the first medal of the championships.
Besides the men's 100, the women's 100 will also begin Saturday. Other events include the first five disciplines in the decathlon, the men's 800, pole vault qualifying and hammer throw qualifying, and the women's 400, steeplechase and qualifying for the discus and long jump.
But as usual, Bolt will be the one to take the spotlight and probably steal the show.
The tall Jamaican became a superstar in Beijing when he set a world record in the 100 while pounding his chest in celebration before even crossing the finish line.
He added a world record in the 200, and showboated before the starting gun even went off.
"That's just who I am. I like to have fun, like to make people laugh," Bolt said in Daegu. "The fans like seeing me being me and trying to enjoy the championships as much as possible."
A year after those record-setting performances in Beijing, Bolt again set records in both sprints at the worlds in Berlin, running 9.58 seconds in the 100 and 19.19 in the 200.
But even with all his confidence, Bolt doesn't think more records are in store this time.
"I don't think I'm in 9.5 shape," said Bolt, whose best time this year in 9.86. "But I definitely think I will be able to run fast."
