Intel Capital says India tech startup valuations "near-bubble" (Reuters)

MUMBAI (Reuters) ? Intel Capital, the investment arm of Intel Corp (INTC.O), the world's biggest chipmaker, believes valuations of early-stage technology companies in India have reached a "near-bubble" stage, as too much capital chases too few quality opportunities.

"It's crazy. I am not drawing parallels, but it feels like '99 in the U.S.," said Suresh Kumar Kuppam, managing director for Asia Pacific at Intel Capital.

"This is not a good sign. Most of the time, we evaluate companies and we have to leave it at that stage as we feel valuations were too high," Kuppam told Reuters during a visit to India's financial capital.

Big valuation expectations in the global tech sector are being driven in part by much-anticipated initial public offerings planned by U.S. firms such as Groupon and Zynga, although market weakness in recent months has cooled that excitement.

U.S.-based Intel Capital normally picks up stakes of less than 20 percent in early stage companies, with an average deal size of $5 million. Its $250 million India fund has made about $40 million in investments so far this year, including $20 million for stakes in six small firms announced on Friday.

While corporate culture in India is historically family driven, with company owners reluctant to bring in private equity investors, the software and technology start-ups that are mushrooming in the country tend to be more willing to sell stakes to outsiders.

"We are seeing plenty of entrepreneurs taking the step, seeing the opportunity and past successes," Kuppam said, referring to companies bringing in venture capital.

"You can see every Silicon Valley v.c. (venture capital) fund has an office in India," he said.

Private equity investments in India rose 21.6 percent percent in the first half of this year to $3.3 billion, according to Thomson Reuters data.

Intel's investments announced on Friday include stakes in Saankhya Labs, a fabless semiconductor company; Testing Czars, which makes mobile applications; FINO, a business and banking technology platform provider; solar power products maker Duron Energy; enStage, which is in electronic payments; and What's on India, an electronic TV program guide.

Pakistani sanctioned by U.S. denies militant links (Reuters)

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) ? One of the men sanctioned by the United States for supporting "the most dangerous terrorist organizations" in Afghanistan and Pakistan denied on Friday he was a Taliban financier.

Hajji Malik Noorzai told Reuters he was a legitimate Pakistani businessman trying to turn a profit in countries as far apart as Afghanistan and Uganda, and someone dedicated to teaching children about the peaceful religion of Islam.

The Treasury Department accuses him and his brother Faizullah of raising millions of dollars for the Taliban, running an extremist religious seminary and storing vehicles for suicide bombings.

On Thursday, it announced sanctions on them and three other individuals, including Abdul Aziz Abbasin, described as a "key commander" for the Afghan Taliban-allied Haqqani network.

The move came amid heightened American concerns over the activities of the Haqqani group, which Washington blames for a September 13 attack on its embassy in Kabul.

The United States alleges that Pakistan's military intelligence agency supports the Haqqanis. Noorzai, it says, is an example of how Afghan militant groups have also managed to secure critical support from businessmen in the region.

Noorzai said he was dumbfounded when he heard the news of American punitive measures against him on television.

"We have no connection with the Taliban, no connection with the Haqqanis. We have no need for such contacts, nor do we have the kind of money that can help run such groups," Noorzai said in a telephone interview.

"I worked very hard to set up my business, God is my witness. I didn't give any money to anyone."

Noorzai says he is an importer and exporter of cars and machinery from the United Arab Emirates, Japan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kenya and Uganda.

He believes he is the victim of a malicious plot by competitors to ruin his reputation.

"We have business rivals, clan rivals. If someone in our area starts doing badly in business, they will try to malign others. I don't know who spread this rumor that we are connected with these groups," he said.

As a result of the action, U.S. companies and individuals are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with the targeted individuals and any assets they hold under U.S. jurisdiction are frozen, Treasury said.

Noorzai is based in Pakistan's biggest city and commercial hub Karachi, where security officials say militants raise revenues for their operations through extortion and kidnappings for ransom.

The United States says he has been breeding generations of Taliban fighters.

"As of 2009, he had served for 16 years as the chief caretaker of a madrassa (religious school) near the Afghanistan/Pakistan border that was used by the Taliban to indoctrinate and train recruits," said a Treasury Department press release.

Noorzai says he is just carrying out religious obligations.

"Yes, we do have a madrassa, it is also a private school. There is no child there above the age of 10. This is our country, a Muslim country, we are Muslims," he said.

"It is our duty to provide religious education to our children."

Popular colorectal cancer drug may cause permanent nerve damage

Nerve degeneration detected with skin biopsies

Oxaliplatin, a platinum-based anticancer drug that's made enormous headway in recent years against colorectal cancer, appears to cause nerve damage that may be permanent and worsens even months after treatment ends. The chemotherapy side effect, described by Johns Hopkins researchers in the September issue of Neurology, was discovered in what is believed to be the first effort to track oxaliplatin-based nerve damage through relatively cheap and easy punch skin biopsies.

The Johns Hopkins investigators emphasize that the drug therapy clearly improves length of survival in advanced cancer by months to years, and that the goal of their new study is to find ways of preventing or slowing the damage through nerve-protective therapies identfied through simple skin testing.

Many patients who take oxaliplatin report bothersome neurological side effects, including pain in the hands and feet and a numbness or tingling in the throat that affects swallowing, according to study leader Michael Polydefkis, M.D., M.H.S., associate professor of neurology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and director of the EMG Laboratory and Cutaneous Nerve Laboratory at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. Though these symptoms develop over time in the majority of patients, some report neuropathies as early as when the drug is first infused.

To get a better sense of how oxaliplatin affects nerve cells, Polydefkis and his colleagues recruited eight cancer patients about to begin oxaliplatin treatment at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. All had been diagnosed with advanced colon cancer.

Before their first oxaliplatin infusion, each patient underwent a comprehensive neurological examination, including nerve conduction testing, a clinical exam to look for signs of nerve damage, and a punch biopsy that removed tiny (3-mm diameter) portions of skin near their knees and ankles. Once oxaliplatin treatment began, consisting of infusions over two days once every two weeks for 12 cycles, the researchers performed the same tests after 30, 90 and 180 days. Another 180 days after they finished with treatment, the patients received one final exam.

Test results showed that each of the patients' nerve function and neuropathy symptoms worsened over time and that results from the punch skin biopsies neatly mirrored the side effect arc. Using a microscope, the researchers saw that nerve cells' long extensions, called axons, degenerated over the course of oxaliplatin therapy. This progression persisted after treatment stopped. Even 180 days after their last doses, seven out of the eight patients' axons continued to wither.

"This drug has rapidly become the standard of care for people with advanced colon cancer, but we really knew little about how oxaliplatin affects nerves over time," he says. "With people living longer lives on oxaliplatin, it's important to know more about these neurological side effects so patients and their physicians can make educated choices on how this drug is used, and perhaps suggest ways to limit the damage."

The new study strongly suggests that punch skin biopsies could be an easy and inexpensive way to follow nerve cell degeneration, a crucial prerequisite for testing the effectiveness of drugs currently in development to trace, prevent or slow nerve damage.

"Skin biopsies can be done pretty easily, uniformly and cheaply anywhere, including hospitals, doctors' offices and clinics, and those places can have the tissue sent to Hopkins for analysis," Polydefkis says. "High-quality neurological testing isn't nearly as easy or economical to do, so it's possible that the biopsies could play a pivotal role in bringing neuroprotective drugs to fruition."

###

Other Johns Hopkins researchers who participated in this study include Ahmet Z. Burakgazi, M.D., Wells Messersmith, M.D., Dhananjay Vaidya, M.D., Ph.D., Peter Hauer, B.S., and Ahmet Hoke, M.D., Ph.D.

Figuring out Which Residential Improvement Jobs Are Worth the ...

If you are like most people, selecting home projects has gotten increasingly difficult. To begin with people should determine whether it is even worth beginning any home improvement projects. In an uncertain economy in addition to one where by home prices continue to fall, investing additional cash on a home is not a decision to be taken lightly.

When choosing on home improvement projects, there are 2 broad elements which drive people?s decisions. The chief variables that the majority of persons take into account when selecting remodeling projects is what does their home need and which improvement projects will most raise the worth of their home.

Not all home improvement projects are equivalent. Many improvement projects are a luxury or seen as vital to one person yet give little to no worth to another. Some may even be viewed as a negative. Many home improvement projects, if done properly and with an eye towards appealing to a wide assortment of home buyers are able to continue to add significant worth to a home.

The ROI of a home improvement task is typically calculated on the estimated increase in value derived from the project. Rarely does a home improvement task enhance the value of a home by more than the undertaking cost.

Numerous improvement projects can make it simpler to sell a home and if a home sells quicker the seller will save ownership costs (mortgage payment, home owners insurance, property tax, upkeep, etc.)Another, often forgotten method which home improvement projects increase the price of a home is by making it more marketable. The more marketable a home is the sooner it will typically sell which will produce additional savings. This reduction in costs from selling more rapidly can frequently be viewed as a return on the project however too many additional factors are included in selling a home so it is not feasible to include these cost savings in an analysis.

Switching to energy efficient windows is commonly viewed as about the greatest home improvement endeavor. Replacement windows is a terrific improvement task for the investment return in addition to extra advantages.

replacement windows return an estimated 80% of their cost upon selling your home. Reduced utility costs are another benefit of installing energy efficient windows. The cost savings can approaches the price of the windows. This type of return is rare with home improvement projects.

There are additional improvement projects which will often save energy and reduce utility costs however they don?t add near as much price to a home.

Too many factors are included in coming up with the cost savings from new windows however it can be as much as a few hundred dollars each month. How inefficient the prior windows were makes an impact.

The advantages of replacement windows is not purely economic. Profound improvements to the look of a home are achievable via replacement windows. Your home will be quieter because new windows will decrease the amount of exterior sound in your home. The improved seals also result in less dust and dirt will get in your home.

Increased protection is also an advantage of new windows. Locking mechanisms on old windows many times don?t work very well and can result in your home unsecure. Coatings on windows designed to keep your home cooler in the summer will also block UV rays that will fade your homes furniture.

Health and Fitness ? Meditation Cushions ? Choice of Style ? Health ...

Meditation is the journey by which we may achieve calm, super consciousness and ultimately the inner peace of enlightenment. Our practice can be compared to the evolution of the lotus flower, which in its final stage, blossoms into thousands of beautiful petals. The first practice stage in our blossoming is to achieve calmness, which depends upon a balanced posture and soothing breathe. A balanced posture requires our body to be grounded to the earth much like the lotus flower beginning its journey in the mud.

Physical discomfort while meditating is a common problem and distraction. This discomfort is predominantly due to an unbalanced posture. For the mind to be alert, calm and still, there should be no tension in the lower and upper back, which must be kept vertically straight with natural curves. Meditation cushions enable the body to maintain a comfortable and balanced posture. Choosing the correct style of meditation zafus depends on the posture position you prefer, your height, and your need for support.

All posture positions require zabutons, similar to a padded mattress. Zabutons are placed directly on the floor. They provide protection for your ankles and knees in a seated cross-legged position and help avoid numbness in your legs and feet. Zabutons protect your shins, knees and top of feet in a kneeling (straddle or prayer) position. They also help keep zafus clean.

Round meditation cushions are the traditional Zen zafus. This style may be used in all seated cross-legged positions as well as in the kneeling (straddle or prayer) position. In the seated cross-legged positions, the pelvis has to be in a neutral position not slumping forward or backward. The spine should be erect with all its natural curves.

Ask: Special education?? - Find Hot Issues Questions on Issues ...

special education issues : I am 13 and was in special ed until second grade. My teachers and parents have helped me a lot and I have slowly worked up to getting strait As in school. Now I help tutor the special ed class for math in the morning, during the school year.

I was wondering?

1) Why do some people not accept special ed kids?
2) How do they get into special ed in the first place?
3) Why is it that some people like me are really successful and some don?t quite make it?

I feel really guilty sometimes for getting through my learning disability. Like maybe I didn?t deserve it. I have learned a lot from tutoring but still have a few questions that I am too afraid to ask the teacher.

The answer about: Special education??

Answer by S S
Congratulations on your awesome accomplishment!
1. Some people just do not understand those that are different from themselves. It is their personal problem.
2. You are placed into special services through a recommendation from your teacher, testing, and other input from guidance, etc. If you are falling behind in even one area, you can qualify for special help in that area. Generally, your classroom teacher makes a recommendation and then the process begins.
3. Sometimes students struggle in say, only reading. Perhaps a student has a condition that is holding them back. Special services tries to find the best way to teach the student. If they can do that, some students like yourself are able to stop receiving special services. Others just have greater disabilities that are harder to overcome.
Finally, don?t feel guilty about anything. Continue to work hard and to help others.

Answer by MELISSA L
#1) People don?t generally accept things that are ?different?
#2) My son got in by being diagnosed with a learning disability.
#3) It depends on the severity of the learning disability.

You have no reason to feel guilty. Everyone deserves an education, and you seem to have made the most of yours! Kudos to you for helping others?keep up the good work :)

Answer by Jazzzyt
You sound like a very intelligent young woman. I am a special education teacher and I can tell you that there are kids in special education classes simply becuase the adults around them don?t want to put in the extra work to help them. Others have a REAL need to be there.

There are many MANY studies going on right now on why some people succeed and some dont. There is a great book on just that subject. It is called ?The Flip Side? by a man named Flip Flippen. He talked to people from many different walks of life and explores this question in detail.

Good luck to you and DONT EVER feel guilty for being a success. There will always be jealous people who won?t want to see you succeed. Don?t let that hold you back.

Virginia real estate ? Blog Archive ? For Sale by Owner (FSBO ...

For Sale by Owner (FSBO) ? What Do I Need to Know?

Price the Home Correctly: It is crucial that you research and place the correct price tag on your home when selling it. A reputable real estate agent is the first person to contact to help appraise your home. Many agents won?t lend you the time of day to assist you with this aspect since they aren?t listing your home. But a good agent will do it for you with no strings attached. They realize that their business is based on reputation and referrals. They may not get this listing, but you may want them to represent you in your next home purchase. Or your cousin may need a good realtor?s help in the future. Do your homework. Find similar homes in your area and compare their price tags. Are the homesas attractive as yours? Are they as large as yours? Pricing the home correctly is crucial.

Use your time: A FSBO property allows you to place your home on the market for the maximum price to see if it sells quickly. If you have a deadline to sell your home, market it yourself well in advance of this deadline. Later, if you feel you need a realtor?s help, you haven?t painted yourself into a corner. You still have time to market and sell the property correctly.

Market the Home: Make it easy for people to know more about your home without investing too much time. Put a For Sale by Owner sign in the front yard with contact numbers. Put a brochure with information out front so people can pre-screen the information and not waste your time. Talk to your local paper or other FSBO?s and investigate whether placing an ad in the local paper has had results. Different markets yield different results. Consider hosting an open house, but make sure you get the information out to the right market.

Put Your Home?s Best Foot Forward: You want to make sure your home sends the right message to prospective buyers. People have to be able to see themselves in that home. What is the first impression when driving up to the home? What?s the feeling inside? Take measure to provide maximum curb appeal. You want to make sure people want to come inside the house. The outside of your home should entice them to do so. The interior should be clean, airy and free of clutter. Try to make the home smell good and pack away personal effects that remind prospects someone else lives there. The realtor that helps you determine a market price should be able to make suggestions in this area that will make your home more marketable.

Is Your Prospect Qualified?: Make sure your buyer is pre-qualified before entertaining their offer. You can request that a preferred mortgage lender you trust or another reputable lender provide this service. If a person isn?t qualified to buy your home, you don?t want to lose valuable marketing opportunity to attract other prospects. Do not take verbal offers seriously. A serious prospect will sign a contract and provide earnest money as a show of good faith. Make sure you are using a legal contract and that it is executed properly and protects your interest. Again, that real estate agent who helped you earlier or an attorney may be a good idea at this juncture. A well executed sales contract is worth its weight in gold.

Of course all of the above is based upon my personal opinion and experience. Use these thoughts for informational purposes only. And good luck selling your home!

    Importance Of Hiring Movers When Relocating | Akarak Real Estate ...

    Migration is an ordinary step in life that everyone has to take at some point or another. People move from one house to another for basic reasons like transfer procedures at their places of work, search for better living conditions, better neighborhoods for their growing children, among others. Some do not just change houses but towns, cities and even countries. Most people like to carry their possessions with them because starting all over again would be unreasonable, not to mention expensive. The process of moving can be quite a nightmare, especially if you have a large family or the kids are too little to be of any assistance. Even though you might think that doing it yourself might save on costs, hiring movers can be a very wise move for the following simple reasons.

    Hiring skilled movers will save someone lots of hassle and time. The process is not a small business. As such, things require packing and sealing in transporting cartons; some require to be given out and others sold. This could take days to accomplish even with the assistance of friends and family. This implies that you will require missing job and be involved full time in the packing process. It might be stressful for you if you have many things to pack, unlike if you engage services of a professional moving firm.

    They have equipment and sufficient labor to pack all your stuff in a day?s time. This is their job so they have experience in the moving process and know exactly what to do. All that is required of you is just close supervision to ensure things are running well as you would wish.

    Though hiring a moving company may appear to be expensive, more expenses may be incurred if they were not hired at all. This is due to the length procedures of planning to move, hiring a moving track, packing the property, payments made to the truck owner for fuel, workers packing the truck and any other expenses on the way such as meals as well as offloading your property at the destination.

    This can be avoided by hiring the services of a moving company to undertake all these. One should bear in mind that cheap is expensive, and in addition to this, one can get some cheap services from some companies that align with their budget.

    Relocating firms are usually insured. Accidents occur, even where strategies are best set. Where you have some items you value, you must seriously consider engaging a relocating firm. In case the property get damaged along the way, you may recover it without you being charged, unlike when moving it personally.

    moving companies provide psychological comfort in addition to the tangible benefits because you are satisfied with the fact that professionals are taking the whole process so risks are likely to be minimized. This comfort gives you a full relief and you can engage yourself to other issues like making sure you family is comfortable and looking for new facilities such as schools, churches as well as recreational facilities in the new locality.

    Thus, hiring movers is the best alternative once it comes to relocating. Remember, nothing good comes cheaply or easily. If you desire your family being contented during the relocating process, and your belongings to reach your new location safely, you must actually consider hiring moving companies.

    As the largest Chinese moving & storage company in Canada, and one of the premier storage in Toronto, they only offer the most experienced movers Toronto to get the job done right.

    Mideast negotiations appear to remain elusive (AP)

    UNITED NATIONS ? Israelis and Palestinians showed no sign Thursday that they were willing to narrow the gaps that have stalled negotiations for years, an ominous sign for the U.S.-led effort to curb a Palestinian statehood bid at the United Nations.

    An Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss diplomacy, said there was no talk about a freeze of construction of Jewish settlements. And a top Palestinian official said they would not drop their twin conditions for negotiating: That Israel stop building on lands the Palestinians want for a future state and agree to base talks on borders as they existed before the 1967 war.

    "There will be no negotiations whatsoever as long as Israel refuses to freeze settlement construction and accept the 1967 lines as the terms of reference for the negotiations," said Azzam Ahmed, a senior aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

    In a sign of the frustration that led to the U.N. campaign, Ahmed said the Palestinians were even prepared to consider dismantling their limited self-rule government, the Palestinian Authority, an unlikely move that would make Israel responsible for the welfare and policing of 2.5 million unwanted Palestinian subjects.

    "If we don't get membership and there are no negotiations, the existence of the Palestinian Authority under Israeli hegemony can't be justified," Ahmed said. "Handing the keys to the Israeli side has become a very realistic option. We can't keep the PA without real power."

    Further underscoring the hardening Palestinian position, negotiator and senior Abbas adviser Nabeel Shaath said the leadership was not prepared to give ground.

    "We made lots of concessions over the years. It's time the Israelis make the concessions," he told The Associated Press.

    He also ruled out a New York meeting between Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who had proposed the two sit down together on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly session in New York this week.

    The U.S. and other international mediators have been trying to cobble together a formula that would allow the Palestinians to abandon their plan to ask the U.N. Security Council on Friday to recognize a Palestinian state in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and east Jerusalem and the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. U.S. President Barack Obama, who has threatened to veto such a request.

    French President Nicolas Sarkozy appealed for a resumption of direct negotiations in his addresses to the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday, saying there was no other way to produce such a state.

    But Abbas rebuffed all appeals to drop the statehood bid and said he would submit the application to U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon on Friday as planned.

    Talks have been in a deep freeze for three years, save a three-week interlude last September that was meant to launch a round of negotiations leading to the establishment of a Palestinian state. But negotiations quickly broke down over continued settlement construction, with Israel insisting that the Palestinians should not be allowed to introduce conditions that didn't apply to earlier rounds of talks.

    The continued deadlock led the Palestinians to seek a different strategy to keep their statehood quest alive, and decided to take their campaign to the broadest possible international forum.

    Senior aides to President Mahmoud Abbas said the Palestinians would not accept political delays in their membership bid, but acknowledged that final U.N. action might not be taken for months or even longer.

    The issue was dominating the annual meeting ministerial meeting of the world body as the diplomatic world swirled with speculation about what deals might be in the works.

    Teams of envoys from the United States, the European Union and France were engaged in frenzied, last-minute efforts to persuade Abbas to return to the negotiating table and make do with something less than full U.N. membership. The U.S. and Israel were also pressuring council members to either vote against the plan or abstain when it comes up for a vote. The vote would require the support of nine of the council's 15 members to pass, but even if the Palestinians could line up that backing, a U.S. veto is assured.

    The quest for a U.N. nod has put Washington in the awkward position of having to lobby ? and perhaps eventually vote ? against a state whose establishment it supports, putting it at odds with newly emergent pro-democracy forces in the Arab world.

    The Israeli prime minister, meanwhile, was scheduled to sit down with the leader of Security Council member Portugal later Thursday as part of a intensive international effort to stymie the Palestinian plan to ask for Security Council recognition.

    A meeting with the leader of Gabon has been canceled at least twice since Netanyahu arrived at the U.N. on Wednesday. Israeli officials have cited "scheduling issues" for the cancellations.

    Without a referral from the council, the Palestinians would have to take their campaign for recognition to the General Assembly, where they could be assured of attaining a lesser status of nonmember observer state.

    Obama and Abbas met for more than 45 minutes Wednesday evening. The White House wouldn't say whether Obama directly asked the Palestinian leader to abandon his plans to pursue full U.N. membership, saying only that he reiterated his opposition to the statehood bid and the U.S. intention to issue a veto.

    Abbas aides said they were not setting deadlines for the Security Council to consider the application. And they left the door open for a General Assembly upgrade from their curret permanent observer status.

    That persistence has put the Palestinians on a collision course with the United States and Israel. A frustrated Obama told world leaders during his Wednesday U.N. speech that "there are no shortcuts" to peace.

    A year ago, Obama eloquently expressed his hope to see a Palestinian state at the United Nations at the next General Assembly session. And in a Mideast policy speech in May, he called for the resumption of negotiations based on borders drawn largely according to the lines that existed before the 1967 Mideast war.

    But in his speech on Wednesday, he did not mention settlement construction or those lines ? conditions Israel has rejected.
