West Bengal’s Left Front government presides over another police ...
The Left Front government in the east Indian state of West Bengal is defending police who opened fire, without warning, on demonstrators Tuesday, February 5, killing five people and injuring many more. The shooting occurred when a crowd of 10-12,000, participating in an All-India Forward Bloc (AIFB) law violation protest in Dinhataa town located about 730 kilometers north of the state capital Kolkata (Calcutta)broke through police lines. The crowd had been angered by the refusal of local government officials to accept a memorandum outlining their demands. The AIFB is the second largest constituent of the Left Fronta multi-party alliance led by the Stalinist Communist Party of India (Marxist) or CPMin West Bengal. But over the past year, as West Bengals CPM-dominated government has ruthlessly pressed forward with a pro-investor industrialization program, the Forward Bloc leadership has found it politic to criticize the state government, especially its suppression of the peasant agitation against the seizure of agricultural land for Special Economic Zones (SEZs).
Dynamos clash with Highlanders switched to Gwanzura
Both teams were involved in continental fixtures last weekend. The champions Dynamos laboured to a 1-0 win over Royal Leopards in the first leg of the Champions League, while Highlanders thumped Ferroviario de Nampula 3-0 in the Confederations Cup. The PSL has hiked the entry charges for the Gwanzura showdown with the cheapest ticket being pegged at $20 million, while a seat in the grand stand in selling for $50 million and VIP tickets are going for $100 million. When the two teams clashed in the first leg at Barbourfields, the PSL were charging $5 million for the rest of ground, and $20 million for the grandstand. The massive hike in entry fees appears aimed at cutting down on the numbers at Gwanzura which can take up to 20 000 fans while the match is expected to
attract a crowd of about 30 000.
Explosive new Chevrolet CSV CR8 arise firmly on Middle East tracks
The Chevrolet Special Vehicle (CSV CR8) is one of the most aggressive, unyielding high-performance cars on the market, and customers had better be prepared for the sheer exhilaration that 400 bhp provides. The thing about CSV CR8 is that it only attracts the type of buyer who wants to experience everything the 6.0-litre V8 will give them. Even though it can be just as easily driven on the road, this Chevrolet's natural habitat is on the circuit, and that's where it shines brightest. This is a car that everyone will want but most will only dream of. The CSV CR8 is a precise, credible machine with its efficient mechanism and phenomenal acceleration and engine performance. What's more, there's no mistaking its thoroughbred race character from its aggressive exterior styling. The powertrain incorporates a 400 hp at 6000 rpm engine - sourced from the ultra-competitive Corvette and the weighty matter of 550 Nm of torque at 4400 rpm for scintillating track performance.
Tata unveils world's cheapest car
India's Tata Motors has unveiled the world's cheapest car. It has a £1,250 price tag that suddenly brings ownership into the reach of tens of millions across the world. While the price has created a buzz, critics say the Tata Nano will lead to millions more cars hitting already clogged Indian roads, adding to mounting air and noise pollution problems. Others have said Tata will have to sacrifice quality and safety standards to meet the target price. But company chairman Ratan Tata said the car would be the least polluting car on Indian roads. He said it would meet necessary safety standards. "I observed families riding on two-wheelers - the father driving the scooter, his young kid standing in front of him, his wife seated behind him holding a little baby," he said.

Healing wounds with merger will take time, money
It took twelve years to mend one of the greatest blunders in professional sports. Only the NHL's decision to go on strike may have been dumber. In 1995, Indy Car racing was the most popular form of American motorsports. Television ratings, attendance, sponsorship dollars and exposure were bigger in open wheel racing than they were in NASCAR. .
