American Millionaires
The number of Americans who are millionaires is about one percent of the population. NPR

Of the 435 members of the House, 244 current members of Congress are millionaires - that's about 46 percent and that includes 138 Republicans and 106 Democrats, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan watchdog group that tracks money in politics. In fact, there are probably many more millionaires in Congress, since lawmakers don't have to include the value of their family home and other details. NPR

In 2010, the average winner of a House race spent $1.5 million for his/her campaigns. The average Senate winner spent close to $10 million. Closely contested races are much more expensive. And about half of that money, on average, comes from an elite group of very wealthy donors. NPR

Wealthy Americans have more access to lawmakers than most regular voters and constituents do, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. NPR

The median net worth for a current member of the U.S. House of Representatives was $725,000 in 2009, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, and the media net worth of a U.S. Senator was $2.4 million. Open Secrets

Dalits ousted from village in Balangir

Dalits ousted from village in Balangir

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bhubaneswar/Dalits-ousted-from-village-in-Balangir/articleshow/10411210.cms

TNN | Oct 19, 2011, 09.02AM IST

BHUBANESWAR: At least 15 dalit families were allegedly thrown out of their homes from a village in Khaprakhol block of Balangir district, around 400 km from here, by upper caste families. Eighteen days after the September 30 incident, the dalits are still taking shelter with their relatives and are unable to return to their houses, a dalit outfit said on Tuesday.

Om Prakash Kumbhar, president of Lakshe Ghara Ganda Samaj Samiti, said the upper caste families attacked the Ganda (a scheduled caste) families in Ambabahal village, ransacked their houses and forced them to leave, suspecting them of indulging in theft, the allegation of which was found to be false by police.

Kumbhar, who led a fact-finding team of the samiti to the village recently, said a pregnant woman delivered stillborn twins while fleeing the village. The woman, Savitri Deep, and her husband Santosh are now taking shelter in a make-shift tent at a weekly haat, around 10 km away from their village.

The village had about 30 dalit families, who were staying in two localities. Sources said the village has witnessed a series of thefts in the past few months. The villagers had discovered two dalit youths moving in the area in a suspicious manner and presumed that they were involved in the thefts. "Police later found the two innocent," Kumbhar said.

Police said a case was registered against the alleged culprits under SC/ST Atrocities Act. Further investigations are on, they said.

Food security bill violates SC rulings, say court commissioners

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court commissioners in the food case have warned the Union government that their draft National Food Security Act falls foul of apex court orders on providing food and nutrition to the needy.

In a letter to the government, the principal advisor to the office of commissioners,Biraj Patnaik, noted that the draft violated several existing orders of the Supreme Court.

He said the apex court explicitly banned the role of profit making contractors and suppliers selling ready to eat meals to children but the draft bill has provisions that contradict this order. "The definition of meal is a cooked meal or ready to eat meal or take home ration, as prescribed by the central government. The words 'locally produced' should be inserted in the definition, and ready to eat food should be deleted," he said.

"The Hon'ble court has explicitly stated and reiterated, through various orders over the past few years, that meals for children to mean locally produced, 'hot cooked meals' or take home rations," he added.

Patnaik also pointed out that the issue of number of beneficiaries to be covered by such programmes was sub-judice at the moment. "The matter of the BPL/priority households is now sub-judice in the Supreme Court. Till such time that a final decision on this is taken, any mention of targeting of specific percentages of people to be covered within the ambit of the NFSB is not advisable," he said.

Hearing on the controversial Planning Commission affidavit stating urban poverty cut-off at Rs 32 in urban areas and Rs 25 in rural areas is to come up in the apex court on November 2. It remains unclear if the government intends to rethink the affidavit and not use the cut-offs for counting the beneficiaries under various social sector programmes.

Patnaik pointed out that the government already has a wide coverage of people through its targeted public distribution system and forcing a fewer number of people to avail the benefits of food security would violate apex court directives as well as federal powers of state as 'food' sits in the concurrent list.

Patnaik said various nutrition support programmes that have the backing of the court have also been kept out of the food security bill and should be added to the benefits under the proposed law. These include maternity benefits for those with children below six months, pension for senior citizens, single women and people with disability.

Patnaik has objected to the absence of a strict starvation code and the definition of priority households, which does not expressly include the vulnerable already covered under the Antodaya Anna Yojna. Groups like the aged, infirm, disabled, destitute men and women, pregnant and locating women and widows are mandated by the apex court to be included in the AAY programme but these would not automatically find inclusion in the proposed 'priority' households which get the highest support under the law

Greenpeace Hits Out at Indonesia’s Dirty Politics

Greenpeace Hits Out at Indonesia’s Dirty Politics
October 19, 2011

Greenpeace has lashed out at allegations made by a legislator that one of its top British activists managed to skirt an entry ban into Indonesia by using a false passport. 

Nur Hidayati, Greenpeace’s country representative for Indonesia, said on Tuesday that Andy Tait entered the country using a valid passport and that attempts to deport him last Saturday failed because the purported entry ban was riddled with errors. 

She was responding to allegations of passport falsification raised by Tubagus Hasanuddin, deputy chairman of House of Representatives Commission I, which oversees defense and foreign affairs. 

“There must be due legal process by the police to investigate this document falsification,” Tubagus, an Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) lawmaker, had said. 

He also said Mas Achmad Sentosa, a member of the Judicial Mafia Eradication Task Force, should be investigated for his intervention at Jakarta’s Halim Perdanakusuma Airport, where Tait, a Greenpeace UK forest campaigner, was stopped by immigration officials. 

Desmon Mahesa, a Great Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra) legislator on House Commission III, which oversees legal affairs, said the task force should be evaluated because of indications that Sentosa had used his authority for personal reasons in helping Tait evade a potential deportation. 

“Why should task force members get away with breaking the law in the name of the people?” Desmon said. 

Sentosa said he was simply doing his job by questioning why Tait faced deportation or if the entry ban against him was even valid. The Directorate General of Immigration has already denied ever issuing an entry ban for the Greenpeace representative. 

The controversy came days after John Sauven, the Greenpeace UK director, was turned back at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport by immigration officials last Thursday despite having a valid visa. The government has since said his presence posed a threat of “instability and disorder” to the country but did not elaborate. 

In a statement on the Greenpeace UK Web site on Monday, Sauven said he had been scheduled in the country to “meet with a number of government officials, the UK ambassador and one of the country’s largest palm oil producers. I was also planning to bear witness to the deforestation caused by Asia Pulp and Paper in Sumatra for myself. 

“I had the correct visa, issued by the Indonesian embassy in London, but apparently that doesn’t count for much when you are part of an organization fighting companies who have powerful connections in government.”

Muammar Gaddafi killed in gunbattle: NTC official

Reuters | Oct 20, 2011, 06.02PM IST

Gaddafi killed in gunbattle: 

SIRTE (LIBYA): Muammar Gaddafi was killed on Thursday as Libya's new leaders declared they had overrun the last bastion of his long rule, sparking wild celebrations that eight months of war may finally be over.
Details of the death near Sirte of the fallen strongman were hazy but it was announced by several officials of the National Transitional Council (NTC) and backed up by a photograph of a bloodied face ringed by familiar, Gaddafi-style curly hair.

"He was killed in an attack by the fighters. There is footage of that," the NTC's information minister, Mahmoud Shammam, told Reuters.

Western powers, who have backed the rebellion which took the capital Tripoli two months ago, said they were still checking. NATO said its aircraft fired on a convoy near Sirte earlier, but would not confirm reports that Gaddafi had been a passenger.

Several NTC fighters in Sirte said they had seen Gaddafi shot dead, though their accounts varied.

With a final declaration of the country's "liberation" from 42 years of one-man rule apparently imminent, and crowds firing in the air and dancing in the streets of Tripoli and Benghazi, Libyan television said NTC chairman Mustafa Abdel Jalil was about to address the nation.

The two months since the fall of Tripoli have tested the nerves of the motley alliance of anti-Gaddafi forces and their Western and Arab backers, who had begun to question the ability of the NTC forces to root out diehard Gaddafi loyalists in Sirte and a couple of other towns.

Officials said some of Gaddafi's entourage had been killed in the same incident, while his son Mo'tassim and other aides were taken prisoner. Another son, Saif -- long the heir-apparent -- was believed by the NTC to be still at large, possibly in the immense southern deserts of the Libyan Sahara.

ARAB SPRING The death of Gaddafi himself became perhaps the most dramatic development since the Arab Spring revolts that have unseated rulers in neighbouring Tunisia and Egypt and threaten the grip on power of the leaders of Syria and Yemen.

"He (Gaddafi) was also hit in his head," NTC official Abdel Majid Mlegta told Reuters. "There was a lot of firing against his group and he died."

Mlegta told Reuters earlier that Gaddafi, who was in his late 60s, was captured and wounded in both legs at dawn on Thursday as he tried to flee in a convoy which NATO warplanes attacked. He said he had been taken away by an ambulance.

An NTC fighter in Sirte said he had seen Gaddafi shot after he was cornered and captured in a tunnel near a roadway.

The capture of Sirte means Libya's ruling NTC should now begin the task of forging a new democratic system which it had said it would get under way after the city, Gaddafi's hometown rebuilt as a showpiece for his rule, had fallen.

As potentially vast revenues from oil and gas begin to roll in again, Libya's six million people, scattered in towns spread across wide deserts, face a major task in organising a new system of government that can allocate resources across long-competing tribal, ethnic and regional divisions.

Gaddafi, wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of ordering the killing of civilians, was toppled by rebel forces on Aug. 23, a week short of the 42nd anniversary of the military coup which brought him to power in 1969.

NTC fighters hoisted the red, black and green national flag above a large utilities building in the centre of a newly-captured Sirte neighbourhood and celebratory gunfire broke out among their ecstatic and relieved comrades.

Hundreds of NTC troops had surrounded the Mediterranean coastal town for weeks in a chaotic struggle that killed and wounded scores of the besieging forces and an unknown number of defenders.

NTC fighters said there were a large number of corpses inside the last redoubts of the Gaddafi troops. It was not immediately possible to verify that information.

'Gaddafi found hiding in a hole and said don't shoot, don't shoot'

Reuters | Oct 20, 2011, 06.38PM IST

Gaddafi was also hit in his head according to National Transitional Council official Abdel Majid Mlegta.

SIRTE ( LIBYA): Former Libyan leaderMuammar Gaddafi who died of wounds suffered during a gunbattle to capture him reportedly said "Don't shoot, don't shoot" to the men who grabbed him. However, there was no independent confirmation of his remarks.

His killing, which came swiftly after his capture near Sirte, is the most dramatic single development in the Arab Spring revolts that have unseated rulers in Egypt and Tunisia and threatened the grip on power of the leaders ofSyria and Yemen.

"He (Gaddafi) was also hit in his head," National Transitional Council official Abdel Majid Mlegta told Reuters. "There was a lot of firing against his group and he died."

Mlegta told Reuters earlier that Gaddafi, who was in his late 60s, was captured and wounded in both legs at dawn on Thursday as he tried to flee in a convoy which NATO warplanes attacked. He said he had been taken away by an ambulance.

There was no independent confirmation of his remarks. An anti-Gaddafi fighter said Gaddafi had been found hiding in a hole in the ground and had said "Don't shoot, don't shoot" to the men who grabbed him.

His capture followed within minutes of the fall of Sirte, a development that extinguished the last significant resistance by forces loyal to the deposed leader.

The capture of Sirte and the death of Gaddafi means Libya's ruling NTC should now begin the task of forging a new democratic system which it had said it would get under way after the city, built as a showpiece for Gaddafi's rule, had fallen.

Gaddafi, wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of ordering the killing of civilians, was toppled by rebel forces on Aug. 23 after 42 years of one-man rule over the oil-producing North African state.

NTC fighters hoisted the red, black and green national flag above a large utilities building in the centre of a newly-captured Sirte neighbourhood and celebratory gunfire broke out among their ecstatic and relieved comrades.

Hundreds of NTC troops had surrounded the Mediterranean coastal town for weeks in a chaotic struggle that killed and wounded scores of the besieging forces and an unknown number of defenders.

Amitabh Bachchan played a critical role in 1984 riots by provoking masses :says witness

1984 riots: ‘Why nobody noticed Amitabh Bachchan spewing venom in India’

Yudhvir Rana, TNN | Oct 20, 2011, 05.54PM IST

A prime witness in 1984 anti-Sikh riots case has alleged that Ambitabh Bachchan shouted ‘khun ka badla khun sae laengae’ (Blood for blood) two times instigating the rioters.

AMRITSAR: A prime witness in 1984 anti-Sikh riots said that everyone who had been watching Doordarshan saw how superstar Amitabh Bachchan provoked the rioters. 


AMRITSAR: "I wonder why no one in India lodged case against Amitabh Bachchan for provoking killing of Sikhs," said Jagdish Kaur, prime witness in 1984 anti- Sikh riots while talking to TOI on Thursday. 


Following Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's assassination by her Sikh bodyguards Satwant Singh and Beant Singh, India erupted in riots against Sikhs in 1984. Reminiscing the sad memories of hate crime against Sikhs she said, "I watched live relay on Doordarshan and saw Amitabh Bachchan raising his arm and shouting the slogan, 'khun ka badla khun sae laengae' (Blood for blood) two times. " 


Jagdish Kaur said that everyone who had been watching Doordarshan was witness to how the bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan provoked the anti- Sikh riots. "I am not concerned that a case has been registered against him in Australia but all I want to know why nobody noticed Amitabh's provoking statement in India," Kaur asked. She said that ever since she saw Amitabh spewing venom in full public glare she never watched any of his movies or programmes on TV. "Any mention of him or his work reminds me of his role in the 1984 riots," she said. 


Recently a US-based Sikh human rights group lodged a criminal complaint against Bachchan in Australia for instigating and abetting 1984 anti Sikh riots. Australia's 'Criminal Code Act 1995' states that Australian courts can have jurisdiction over cases involving crimes against humanity irrespective of whether the offense was committed in Australia or not. 


Jadish Kaur, then 42, had seen her husband and son being murdered in cold blood by a frenzied mob inside her house in Palam Colony (West Delhi) on November 1st 1984. She also saw her three brothers Narinder Pal Singh, 35, Raghwinder Singh, 28 and Kuldeep Singh ,21, all contractors with MES, burning to death by the mob while they were trying to save themselves.

UID project hits job plan roadblock

UID project hits job plan roadblock

Chetan Chauhan, Hindustan Times
New Delhi, October 17, 2011

Nandan Nilekani lead the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has hit a Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee (MGNREGA) roadblock.
The government had refused to make unique number or Aadhaar mandatory for making wage payment to people enrolled under the world’s largest social security scheme unless all residents are covered.
The reason given was that MGNREGA is a universal scheme and anyone can demand work. Unless all resident in a district have an Aadhaar number, accepting UIDAI’s request will be in violation of the job guarantee law.
“Only when Aadhaar becomes universal the UIDAI request can be accepted,” a plan panel member said, while adding that there was still a long way for UIDAI to achieve the goal.
The UIDAI wanted the government to declare Aadhaar must for issuing the job cards to foster enrolment of people for the unique identity number scheme. But, the rural development ministry found that very few Aadhaar numbers have been issued to those enrolled in MGNREGA even in state such as Jharkhand, where it was launched first.

Nilekani had recently told reporters that Aadhaar number will be linked for MGNREGA bank accounts for electronic transfer of wages. It was the next step UIDAI was looking at after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) declared Aadhaar as enough for one to open a bank account. 

UIDAI chairperson Nilekani had recently met Rural Development minister Jairam Ramesh and plan panel member Mihir Shah to explore the possibility of linking Aadhaar with MGNREGA bank accounts.
Once that happens, Nilekani had proposed the MGNREGA workers will get the facility of withdrawing the money at their doorsteps through banking correspondent model. A person having a small hand-held machine linked with the banks server through mobile based internet service is called banking correspondent.
The plan panel was also skeptical on the banking correspondent model as it has been employed in small pilots but not vigorously tested in the tough rural landscape, where mobile connectivity is still a problem.
“A lot of issues would have to be sorted out before UIDAI is made mandatory for MGNREHA bank accounts,” the member said.
