After Andhra Pradesh government accepted K Rosaiah's resignation there have been many assumptions, as to who would be the one replacing him as the next Chief Minister of the state. Union Minister, S Jaipal Reddy, State Assembly Speaker, N. Kirankumar Reddy and State Minister, J Geeta Reddy are the names who are competing for one of the most responsible posts.
The new CM would be decided today itself, (November 24) at an emergency meeting of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP). Central Ministers and senior party leaders like AK Antony, Veerappa Moily and Ghulam Nabi Azad will be attending today's CLP meeting. It cannot be said that whether the final word will come from the party President, Sonia Gandhi or not. Jaipal Reddy is considered strong because of his vast experience.

| Jennifer Grey is the winner of Dancing With the Stars Posted: 23 Nov 2010 11:45 PM PST
It is the celebration time for the 'Dirty Dancing' star Jennifer Grey as she wins the 'Dancing With the Stars' competition, this season. Grey beat Bristol Palin in the finale. Palin was assumed to win the reality show because of the supposed Tea Party backing.
50 year old Grey won the dancing crown even though she was grieving with the injuries in her neck and knee. The star was paired with professional dancer Derek Hough. The pair consistently performed well throughout the season and was on the top of the charts of the judges. On the other hand, Palin and her partner Mark Ballas were consistently performing poorly and so did not stood at good positions on the judges list. But Palin had a huge support system and she survived in the show because of the votes. Palin getting votes had turned on the nerves of the people and she even got a threatening letter on the sets of the Dancing With the Stars. |

| What “Man and God” Dirty Dancing – Butoh-style Looks Like Posted: 23 Nov 2010 09:40 PM PST
Butoh is a kinda sorta dance named for a diverse range of activities, techniques and motivations . The Butoh dance/performance/movement is inspired by the Ankoku-Butoh movement.
1. playful and grotesque imagery, 2. taboo topics 3. extreme or absurd environment 4. is traditionally “performed” in white-body makeup with slow hyper-controlled motion, with or without an audience. 5. There is no set style and have no movement at all. 6. Its origins have been attributed to Japanese dance legends Tatsumi Hijikata and Kazuo Ohno.
The Kyoto Journal categorizes Butoh as dance, theater, "kitchen", or "seditious act". The San Francisco Examiner describes Butoh as “unclassifiable” ("strangest, most unclassifiable, and most haunting)". In other words if they don’t know what to call it in San Francisco, it ain’t got a name. The San Francisco Weekly calls is it a kind of “world” of "restaurant theater" in a skid row context.
Butoh occurs in: 1. areas of extremes of the human condition- skid row 2. extreme physical environments, caves with no audience (so, if nobody is watching, is s/he really dancing?) 3. remote Japanese cemetery 4. hanging by ropes from a skyscraper or in a bar in Beijing by Chinese Malaysian Lee Swee Keong who performed “Man and God.”

| Beijing Customs Tax Surpasses 2006 Goal Posted: 23 Nov 2010 05:38 PM PST
So, do tax dudes sit around at the end of the year and set goals for collecting taxes in the coming year? Apparently so. Beijing customs reports that it has already surpassed its goal in tax revenue for this year. The goal of $2.8 billion) was surpassed by the end of September – up 40% over last year. Total foreign trade for the first three quarters of this year was $41.4 billion also up over 40% on last year. Imports almost reached $25 billion – up 43.6%. The imported products were primarily, IT products, mobile phone accessories, communication equipment and spare parts for cars. Beijing-made integrated circuits, pc monitors and garments grew. I never thought of this benefit to Beijing – the more trade that occurs the more customs tax that is collected. Yet, another reason to increase the trade between China and the world, eh? What do you think? |
| Oniomaniac – The Cure to the World’s Economy Woes Posted: 23 Nov 2010 01:37 PM PST
Oniomaniac – an uncontrollable desire to buy things. Now, all we need to do is figure out how to give the disease to everyone in the world. Come to think of it, I think most people in China already have the problem. Chinese have what is known as the be like ‘ems. If they can buy up ‘stuff’ the way we do in the West, they’ll find happiness. And if they have oniomaniac and buy more stuff with a reason, why they can even be happier. Fat chance of that. Still if world governments can find a way to keep their country people spending, the economies of the world will continue to hum. Fat chance of that, too. |
