Cranston's honor was his third trophy for playing a high school math teacher gone wrong, while his co-star, Aaron Paul, earned his first award as best supporting actor for playing his partner-in-crime.

NEW DELHI: In his first interview since being incarcerated in a US jail nearly 10 days ago, Mumbai-based documentary film maker Vijay Kumar has claimed that he is a victim of racial profiling and is being harassed by US officials.

Speaking over phone from a detention centre where he was shifted from Houston county jail, Kumar, a strict vegetarian, claimed he skipped food in jail for two days as he was deliberately served non-vegetarian fare. Kumar's visa was revoked and he was declared an illegal visitor after he got bail from Houston county court. Kumar was detained at Houston international airport while on his way to Vancouver, Canada after "behavioural detection officers" at the airport felt something was amiss with him. They pulled him in for questioning and were further alarmed when his baggage revealed publications dealing with Jihad and Islam. According to US authorities, his checked-in baggage from New Delhi revealed a pair of brass knuckles, prohibited by Texas state law, though not banned under US federal law.

NEW YORK – Glenn Beck, the man behind Saturday's rally at the site of Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech, has built an empire around his own voice that grew exponentially with his move to Fox News Channel and President Barack Obama's election to the White House.

Beck has become a soundtrack for conservative activists and members of the tea party movement, angry and frustrated with Obama and other Democrats in a highly charged election year. Beck suggests Obama is a socialist moving the country away from its ideals of limited government. Beck's critics contend that he exploits fear with conspiracy theories and overheated rhetoric. Organizers say the "Restoring Honor" rally isn't about politics. It's to pay tribute to America's military personnel and others "who embody our nation's founding principles of integrity, truth and honor." It also is to promote the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, which provides scholarships and services to family members of military members.

NEW DELHI: More wrangling is in store over the civil liability for nuclear damage bill after the government again seemed inclined to dilute the suppliers’ liability. Earlier, a move to effect surreptitious changes in the standing committee’s report was exposed — page 30 of the report was actually scored out with a pen and another stapled in its place.

The government said it had no role to play in what had transpired while committee chairman Subbirami Reddy claimed the committee had sanctioned the alteration. Panel members claimed otherwise and pointed to the proceedings of the committee for proof.

Critics of the bill have been arguing that it had been structured to protect interests of US suppliers, a charge denied by the government. The government has argued it has sought to pin down liability irrevocably on the operator alone who could after settling claims of victims seek damages from a supplier at fault.

Even as United States president Barack Obama hails India on her 63rd independence anniversary, the new Border Security Act, which raises visa fees substantially, is expected to cost information technology (IT) outsourcing firms in India a whopping $200 million (Rs930 crore) a year.

The US has increased skilled work visa charges by nearly $2,000 (Rs93,000) per person per year. There are 70,000-1,00,000 Indians in the US, nearly all of them IT professionals, working on three-seven year visas, who will be impacted by the change. The move is targeted at bridging the cost difference between employing an Indian technology worker and a local worker. Indian and international IT firms prefer hiring Indian workers over locals as they are paid $60,000-$80,000 a year, making them around 20% cheaper than Americans.

WASHINGTON: Whatever the state of political and diplomatic play between Washington and New Delhi, business ties and private sector partnerships between the two countries have long been praised for elevating the relationship. But that equation may now be coming under stress, after a prominent US Senator stunned the corporate world on both sides by likening India's most storied I-T firm to a "chop shop" -- a term used to describe a business involved with the selling of stolen goods.

Visit http://axa-equitable-life-insurance.itpatil.com/ for AXA Equitable Life Insurance Blog, News and Reviews.

The disparaging remark about Bangalore-based Infosys by New York Senator Charles Schumer came during discussions on a $600 million border security bill that has already created a kerfuffle among Indian IT companies because it is largely underwritten by a 200% hike in visa fees in categories such as H1B and L-1. A chop shop is a slang phrase for an illegal location or business which typically dismantles stolen automobiles for the purpose of selling them as parts. It may also be used to refer to a location or business that is involved with the selling of stolen goods in general, or a brokerage that sells non-existent equities, both fraud and stolen goods. Another common use refers to a business whose product, service or equipment is of questionable quality.

Washington: The United States Senate has passed a border security bill that will raise the visa fees of Indian companies operating in the U.S. by $2,000 or more, a move that may seriously impact the operations of IT-focussed companies such as Infosys, Wipro and the Tata Group.

The National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) sharply criticised the bill, estimating the impact on Indian companies could be as high as $200 million to $250 million per annum. Arguing that the legislation will send the message that foreign workers are not welcome in the U.S., Mr. Mitall emphasised that the $1 billion-plus that Indian firms and Indian citizens paid each year to the U.S. in the form of social security taxes with no benefit or refund would be lost to the U.S. Treasury if this bill became law.

In an attempt to cash in on public sympathy amidst the devastating floods which has affected over four million people and killed nearly 1600 in Pakistan, groups like the Jamaat-ud-Daawa (JuD), the front face of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), has even appealed to the US to arrange for aid.

Taking advantage of the slow government response to the catastrophic deluge, several groups like the JuD have opened relief camps distributing food, medicines and other materials to counter the government's anti-terror efforts by winning hearts of people.

The JuD, which usually can be seen spewing venom against the US and its policies, has requested Washington to help Pakistan in this crisis. "Everyone should be digging in for humanity's sake, and we shouldn't be politicizing the matter. We aren't reaching out with an agenda in mind.

Visit http://axa-equitable-life-insurance.itpatil.com/ for AXA Equitable Life Insurance Blog, News and Reviews.

The Bill, intended to improve security along the US-Mexico border, seeks to fund the programme by levying higher visa fees on companies that do not satisfy the norm of employing at least 50% local staff. Brokerage CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets, in a note to clients after the US Senate approved the bill, said no Indian company meets this criterion and hence they “will be likely hit by higher visa fees”.

It quoted jailed LeT operative David Headley and others to indicate the terror group's diversity, mobility and versatility of self-selecting recruits whom organisations can pick to meet strategic goals.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands – Having lost her battle to avoid testifying, British fashion model Naomi Campbell is due to give evidence at the war crimes trial of former Liberian ruler Charles Taylor on Thursday.

Campbell will be questioned about claims made by actress Mia Farrow that Taylor gave the model an uncut diamond after a dinner party hosted by Nelson Mandela in South Africa in 1997. Prosecutors say if that's true, it's evidence that he received diamonds from Sierra Leone rebels in exchange for weapons during that country's 1992-2002 civil war. On Wednesday, judges rejected a last-minute protest from Taylor, who had argued that Campbell should not appear until prosecutors provide a summary of her likely testimony.

Lohan's abbreviated stay was not unexpected, although it was considerably longer than the 84 minutes she spent at the same facility in 2007. The judge said during Lohan's surrender on July 20 that she had no control over how long the actress would be jailed, but did require her to serve her time a women's jail operated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

Clearing one of the last hurdles in the operationalisation of the landmark civil nuclear cooperation agreement between the two countries, India and the United States have formalised an understanding that will allow New Delhi to reprocess American nuclear fuel after having used it in its nuclear power plants.

Visit http://axa-equitable-life-insurance.itpatil.com/ for AXA Equitable Life Insurance Blog, News and Reviews.

The reprocessing agreement has been signed by India’s ambassador in Washington Meera Shankar and United States Under Secretary for Political Affairs Bill Burns on Friday evening, a US government statement said. Reprocessing involves the separation of plutonium from the spent fuel, to be re-used in other reactors. Since plutonium can also be used as the fissile core in a nuclear weapon, access to reprocessing technology or the right to do so is generally not forthcoming. So far, the US has granted such reprocessing right only to the European Union and Japan.
