Finally, there's no denying citizens' right to question
public figures - be it UPA ministers or, more recently, BJP's
Nitin Gadkari - in a democracy. Such interrogators can be
establishment insiders like bureaucrats, or activists from
outside. A trust run by his family facing embezzlement
charges, Salman Khurshid has now been seen as threatening
anti-corruption activist Arvind Kejriwal, by saying he may
not be able to leave Farrukhabad, Khurshid's constituency in
UP, if he goes there, reportedly adding for good measure that
it was time to replace ink with blood. Such language is
unbecoming of the country's law minister. By using such
terms, Khurshid has scripted a public relations disaster for
the Congress. He should be sharply pulled up by the party
leadership, if not asked to quit his cabinet post.

Even as it allows anyone with a web browser to peer into its

data centers, Google intends to closely guard physical access

to its buildings. The company also remains cagey about how

many computers are in its data centers, saying only that they

house hundreds of thousands of machines to run Google's

services.

Google's need for so many computers has turned the company a

major electricity user, although management says it's

constantly looking for ways to reduce power consumption to

protect the environment and lower its expenses.

The company's data centers are located in: Berkeley County,

South Carolina; Council Bluffs, Iowa; Douglas County,

Georgia; Mayes County, Oklahoma; Lenoir, North Carolina; The

Dalles, Oregon; Hamina, Finland; and St. Ghislain, Belgium.

Other data centers are being built in Quilicura, Chile; Hong

Kong, Singapore and Taiwan.
DURBAN: IPL winners Kolkata Knight Riders were on Wednesday

knocked out of the ongoing Champions League Twenty20 after

their must-win match against Perth Scorchers was called off

due to incessant rain.

The Knight Riders needed to win this match at any cost,

having suffered reverses in their first two outings against

Delhi Daredevils and Auckland Aces, but luck deserted Gautam

Gambhir and his men on their most important day.

In the process, they became the first team to be eliminated

from the tournament proper.

Yet history has not been kind to the theory that strong trade ties prevent conflict among nations. The United States and China are no more dependent on each other's economies today than were Great Britain and Germany before World War I. And trade relations are not without their own tensions and conflicts. Those between the United States and China are becoming increasingly contentious, with Congress threatening legislation to punish China for perceived inequities in the trade relationship. In both Europe and the United States, concerns about the growing strategic challenge from China are increasingly joined or even outstripped by fears of the growing economic challenge it poses. Fifty-five percent of Germans believe China's economic growth is a "bad thing," up from 38 percent in 2005, a view shared by Americans, Indians, Britons, the French, and even South Koreans. Today 60 percent of South Koreans think China's growing economy is a "bad thing."
The Chinese, meanwhile, may still tolerate pressure to adjust their currency, crack down on piracy, and increase quality standards for their products, as well as all the other hectoring they receive from the United States and Europe. But they are starting to feel that the democratic world is ganging up on them and using these disputes as a way of containing China not only economically but strategically. And there is also the matter of the international scramble for energy resources, which is becoming the primary arena for geopolitical competition. The search for reliable sources of oil and gas shapes China's policies toward Iran, Sudan, Burma, and Central Asia. Russia and the democracies led by the United States compete to build oil and gas pipelines that will provide them leverage and influence, or deny it to their competitors.
