Cash-Rich, Publicity-Shy, Abu Dhabi Fund Draws Scrutiny
2008-02-28 20:28:00 Abu Dhabi has about 9 percent of the world’s oil and 0.02 percent of its population. The result is a surfeit of petrodollars, much of which is funneled into a secretive, government-controlled investment fund that is helping to shift the balance of power in the financial world.the fund recently formed a small team that is now buying big stakes in Western companies. This unit masterminded ADIA’s $7.5 billion investment in Citigroup, the nation’s largest bank, in November. It has also taken a large position in Toll Brothers, one of the country’s biggest home builders.ADIA is the largest of the world’s sovereign wealth funds, giant pools of money controlled by cash-rich governments, particularly in Asia and Middle East. But Abu Dhabi, the wealthiest of the seven Arab emirates, says little about its fund. Few outsiders know for sure where ADIA invests — or even how much money it controls. And secrecy breeds hyperbole; some estimates of the fund’s size surpass $1 trillion. ...
Shielded from scrutiny
2008-02-26 04:31:00 The A-League's showpiece finale was a tale of match-costing errors of judgement - and not all of them from the vanquished Central Coast Mariners.Newcastle's worthy 1-0 win has been somewhat overlooked in the wash-up of a match which unlike previous grand final episodes was decided by individual errors rather than flashes of brilliance.Topping last season's five-goal haul from Melbourne marksman Archie Thompson was always likely to be a pointless exercise - and so it turned out as the Jets, the better team on the day, carved out a hard-working although ultimately fortunate victory to scoop their maiden domestic title.Fortunate not because the Mariners had a player, goalkeeper Danny Vukovic, sent off nor because retiring veteran defender Tony Vidmar made a meal of clearing his lines and gifted possession to Australia under-23 striker Mark Bridge who curled a second-half winner.Fortunate because for consecutive weeks the league's top officials made a perplexing penalty decision in ...

AIR PURIFIERS UNDER SCRUTINY AGAIN
2008-02-11 15:15:00 Ozone-emitting devices may be a health hazardSounds strange but the very device you put in your master bedroom to clear the air may in fact be creating more pollution.The Wall Street Journal reports in today's editions that air purifiers may produce a highly-reactive ozone gas, that while being beneficial as a filter of harmful ultra-violet rays, may also be serving as a pollutant on the ground.Air purifiers have been a source of controversy for years. In 2005, Consumer Reports magazine said that even the best air cleaner can be a frivolous investment and said there was little evidence that the devices will reduce the effect of indoor pollutants for those with asthma or allergies."Ozone is considered a toxic gas by the EPA, and its adverse effects include lung damage, exacerbated asthma symptoms and, at high levels of exposure, an increased risk of death," said the WSJ report.Consumer Reports has reported previously that people with asthma or respiratory allergies are especially se...

Pressure, media scrutiny could claim more players: Lee
2008-02-05 10:16:00 Australian pace spearhead Brett Lee believes that the relentless pressure surrounding international cricket players to not only perform, but also to excel in their chosen skill, could claim further high-profile casualties. Lee warned that incessant cricket and increased expectations, besides being subjected to intense media scrutiny, could create unbearable burdens on cricketers struggling for form. Empathising with fast bowler Shaun Tait’s plight, Fox Sports quoted Lee as saying: "It's very hard because there is a lot of pressure on cricketers around the world these days, we are playing a lot more cricket." "We are also under a lot more scrutiny through the media, especially if you are not taking wickets or scoring runs. Taity is going through a bit of a tough time at the moment, but it's up to us as mates to make sure we are calling him and make sure he is in a good place. He needs some time away from the game and we hope to see him back shortly," he a...

Antidepressants Under Scrutiny: Sweeping Overview Suggests Suppression of N
2008-01-17 05:13:00 Today's Wall Street Journal published a very controversial story about the effectiveness of antidepressants:The effectiveness of 12 popular antidepressants has been exaggerated by manufacturers' selective publication of favorable results, researchers asserted in a new review of unpublished data that were submitted to the Food and Drug Administration. As a result, the review concludes, doctors and patients are getting a distorted view of the effectiveness of blockbuster antidepressants like Wyeth's Effexor and Pfizer Inc.'s Zoloft. The review was published in the New England Journal of Medicine.Dr. Turner, who once worked at the FDA reviewing data on psychotropic drugs, said the idea for the study was triggered in part by colleagues who questioned the need for further clinical drug trials looking at the effectiveness of antidepressants. "There is a view that these drugs are effective all the time," he said. "I would say they only work 40% to 50% of the time," based on his r...

Can Obama Withstand the Scrutiny?
2008-01-07 17:20:00 The Barack Obama who arrived in New Hampshire the morning of January 4 was the same Barack Obama who awoke in Iowa the previous day wondering, no doubt, if his bid for the White House might soon effectively be over?except, of course, that in the eyes of the world, he now looked like a conceivable, indeed a probable, president of the United States. This transformation happens a couple of times every four years, but in Obama?s case, it was more than usually hard to get one's head around, given the world-historical meaning and uplift with which it was freighted. The moment was so dazzling, in fact, that it obscured a simple truth: Obama is still a political work-in-progress. His vulnerabilities are real and not terribly difficult to discern. And even his strengths are about to be placed under ungodly strain by two of the greatest quantum forces in the political universe: the weight of unparalleled expectations and the Clinton hit machine. Sepia-toned histories may recount Obama?s st...

`Gospel of wealth' facing scrutiny
2007-12-28 05:23:00 The message flickered into Cindy Fleenor's living room each night: Be faithful in how you live and how you give, the television preachers said, and God will shower you with material riches. And so the 53-year-old accountant from the Tampa, Fla., area pledged $500 a year to Joyce Meyer, the evangelist whose frank talk about recovering from childhood sexual abuse was so inspirational. She wrote checks to flamboyant faith healer Benny Hinn and a local preacher-made-good, Paula White. Only the blessings didn't come. Fleenor ended up borrowing money from friends and payday loan companies just to buy groceries. At first she believed the explanation given on television: Her faith wasn't strong enough. "I wanted to believe God wanted to do something great with me like he was doing with them," she said. "I'm angry and bitter about it. Right now, I don't watch anyone on TV hardly." All three of the groups Fleenor supported are among six major Christian television ministries under scr...

Evan Jenkins led, D-Cabell and executive director of the West Virginia Medical Association."Jenkins said he's compiled a thick stack of studies that question whether requiring providers to certify need increases access, ensures quality and controls costs -- the top goals of such policies," AP reports.The system's defenders include Health Care Authority Chairwoman Sonia Chambers, whose agency administers it."It serves a vital role in West Virginia. I think it continues to hold a vital role,'' AP quoted Chambers telling lawmakers. "I don't think now is the time to take away one of tools we use to stem the tide of rising costs.''

Herb Kohl, a Wisconsin Democrat, and Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican, argued that Google had a dominant position in a form of Internet advertising called contextual ads while DoubleClick was a market leader in display advertising.They said industry experts believed the deal could harm competition on the Web."While we have not reached any definitive conclusion regarding this issue, we urge that you only approve the merger if you determine that it will not cause any substantial lessening of competition with respect to Internet advertising," they wrote.Kohl and Hatch also raised questions about privacy implications since both Google and DoubleClick collect information about Web usage."We believe that this deal raises fundamental consumer privacy concerns worthy of serious ...

A technical scrutiny of tiles
2007-11-07 14:12:00 Over the last two decades, provision of tiles on the walls and floors of buildings has seen a tremendous upswing. Bathrooms, kitchens, shelves, facades, garden fountains and home accessories find a greater use of tiles these days. However, the only factor that is examined while selecting tiles is their physical appearance. No attention is paid to the technical aspects of the tiles selected which if considered may lead to a better service by them and their negligible maintenance in future. Surface flatness, edge curvature, warpage, surface quality, water absorption, scratch hardness, abrasion resistance, thermal shock resistance, crazing resistance and resistance to action of chemicals are a few such properties which should be examined before selecting for use in residential, public or industrial buildings.There were times when only 4 inch size white glazed tiles were used to clad the walls of bathrooms up to 7 feet level. Now the tiles have entered even the drawing rooms. Not only g...
