Popstar Mariah Carey says she has been insecure about her looks since the age of 19.

The 40-year-old singer confessed she has been conscious of this for about 21 years now.

“I remember starting out and being at a record company at 19 and having someone tell me, ‘This is your good side and this is your bad side. Don’t ever let anyone take pictures of you from that side. You look terrible from that side,’ and so on. It created this whole complex,” she said.

“I felt very different as a bi-racial person. Growing up where I did, being half-black and half-white was a weird and difficult thing because I didn’t quite fit in either place and I moved around a lot,” she said.

“So when I went from that to this world it was like, let’s create an inferiority complex before we make this person go on TV and try to have confidence. So it was all about building self-confidence,” she added.

Clashes erupted in Hassan and Shimoga cities of India’s southern Karnataka state following publication of a controversial translated article of Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen in a leading Kannada daily.
Tension broke in Hassan when unidentified miscreants pelted stones on commercial establishments during a procession. As per media reports, several vehicles and shops were set ablaze. About 1500 people took to streets earlier on Monday to express anguish over the Kannada translation of Nasreen’s article on burqa (veil) tradition. The clashes took a communal turn when activists of several Hindu radical organisations also took to streets and started pelting stones on each other. Reportedly, situation was more serious in Shimoga district where protestors burnt about a dozen two wheelers, two tractors, two auto-rickshaws and pelted stones. Media reports say that one person was killed when police opened fire to quell the rioters in Shimoga. Another person succumbed to injuries sustained in stone pelting. Several people were critically injured and were hospitalised in both the districts following protests by Muslims over publication of Nasreen’s article. Concerned state authorities have imposed prohibitory orders in the both the districts to control the situation. Several vehicles including state transport corporation busses were damaged when protestors in the procession turned violent. Nasreen’s articles have sparked controversies earlier as well. Many radical Muslims hate this renowned writer for her critical opinion on religion that she has termed as an oppressive force. Nasreen fled Bangladesh for the first time in 1994 when a court said she had ‘deliberately and maliciously’ hurt Muslims’ religious feelings in her Bengali-language novel ‘Lajja’ meaning shame.

Joseph Andrew Stack, Joe Stack: Just a few hours after Joseph Andrew Stack killed himself in an attack on an Austin building that housed local IRS office someone went and set up a fan club for him on Facebook. It already has 124 members.

“Finally an American man took a stand against our tyrannical government that no longer follows the constitution and is turned its back on its founding fathers and the beliefs this country was founded on,” the page explains.

One Stack fan had this to say about the insane Stack manifesto: “This shows that he was in fact, not a deranged man, but a very intelligent one, who understands typical everyday problems that people have with the government. It’s just too bad people are deciding to focus on the fact that he tried to kill his wife and daughter, and not the means of why he did this.”

The fan page also uses the line from Thomas Jefferson that crazy political types, like the guy who brought a gun to a town hall meeting with Barack Obama, just love. “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”

Plane Crash Austin, Echelon Building Austin, AUSTIN, Texas: A low-flying small plane crashed into an office building that houses the Internal Revenue Service in Austin, Texas on Thursday, and at least one person was missing, witnesses and officials said.

Assistant Austin Fire Chief Harry Evans said two people have also been taken to a hospital. Their conditions were not immediately known.

A law enforcement official said the crash did not initially appear to be the result of a crime or terrorism. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to publicly discuss the crash.

Thick black and gray smoke was billowing out of the second and third stories of the building Thursday as fire crews using ladder trucks and hoses battled the fire. Dozens of windows were blown out of the hulking black building, and vehicles traveling on a nearby highway paused to look.

Peggy Walker, an IRS revenue officer who works in the building said she was sitting at her desk when the plane crashed.

“It felt like a bomb blew off. The ceiling caved in and windows blew in. We got up and ran,” she said.

Matt Farney, 39, who was in the parking lot of a nearby Home Depot, said he saw a low-flying private plane near some apartments and the office building just before it crashed.

“I figured he was going to buzz the apartments or he was showing off,” Farney said, adding that the plane dipped down. “It was a ball of flames that was high or higher than the apartments. It was surreal. It was insane. … It didn’t look like he was out of control or anything.”

Sitting at her desk about a half-mile from the crash, Michelle Santibanez said she felt vibrations. She and her co-workers ran to the windows, where they saw a scene that reminded them of the 2001 terrorist attacks, she said.

“It was the same kind of scenario with window panels falling out and desks falling out and paperwork flying,” said Santibanez, an accountant.

Fire crews were inside the building battling the blaze and looking for survivors, Evans said.

Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford said the agency was investigating but had no immediate information on the type of plane or how many people were on board.

India’s apex court and the High Courts can order Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to probe into criminal cases to protect the fundamental rights of citizens, without consent of the state governments.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the constitutional validity of courts’ powers to order CBI investigation without the prior permission of state governments with a provision that this should be used carefully and cautiously.
A five-judge Constitution Bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan in a unanimous judgment said such powers have to be exercised cautiously by the apex court and the High Courts.
India’s federal ruling Congress party welcomed the decision saying that it would be beneficial in the public interest. “It is a judgment which in the public interest, in the national interest holds that there would be situation where the state concerned or the person concerned at the state level would so arrange matters that a consent to have the CBI enquiry will not be given. In such cases, the consent cannot act as a veto, or the requirement of consent cannot act as a veto. And therefore the court has held that wherever larger public interest remains the court is not powerless to direct the CBI whether it is high court or Supreme Court. I think it’s largely consistent with the government stand and that stand has been upheld. I think it is judgment to be welcomed in the public interest,” Abhishek Manu Singhvi told reporters outside Supreme Court.
Justices R V Raveendran, D K Jain, P Sathasivam and J M Panchal, who were also a part of the Constitutional Bench, said that such powers have to be used sparingly in exceptional and extraordinary circumstances in cases having national and international ramifications.
The CBI will otherwise be flooded with such directions in routine cases, said the Constitutional Bench, adding that such powers are vested with the apex court and High courts to ensure protection of fundamental rights of citizens under Article 21 of the Constitution.
The judgment was announced on a bunch of petitions filed by the eastern West Bengal state government, who argued that the CBI could carry out a probe only with the prior consent of the concerned government under the provisions of the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act.

MUMBAI India: Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s famous poem “Madhushala’ has been made into a song, sung by Mana Dey and composed by Jaidev, a long time ago. However, it turns out that the poet had composed a tune for the poem, which may soon be brought out as a song by his son, Amitabh Bachchan.

Amitabh has decided that he will soon sing his father’s rendition of “Madhushala’ so that the people can be exposed to the original that his father had composed. Although he likes the Manna Dey-Jaidev version, he would like to sing it with an orchestra as he has lesser film assignments for this year.
