Fwd: Participate in Earth Hour
http://www.goodearthhomes.net/
From melting glaciers to increasingly intense weather patterns, we know that climate change is already impacting life on our planet.
On Saturday, March 28, 2009, at 8:30 pm, Good Earth and our employees will take part in Earth Hour — the world's largest global climate change event. By simply turning out all non-essential lighting for one hour at our company buildings and in our own homes, we will join tens of millions of concerned citizens throughout the world in calling for action to save our planet for future generations.
We'd like to encourage you, one of our valued customers, to join us in this important and inspiring effort.
Led by the World Wildlife Fund, more than 50 million people in 370 cities around the world took part in Earth Hour last year. The lights went out at Sydney's Opera House, Rome's Coliseum, the Empire State Building and the Golden Gate Bridge. Even the Google homepage went dark for the day.
This year, Earth Hour will be even bigger. In India, cities large and small have said they'll participate including New Delhi & Mumbai with more signing up daily. They will join international cities such as Beijing, Cape Town, Copenhagen, Edinburgh, Helsinki, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, London, Manila, Mexico City, Moscow, New York, Paris, Rome, and Toronto.
To get a better sense of the magnitude and inspiring nature of the event, take a moment to watch WWF's video about Earth Hour 2009 by visiting www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjWD8pbK5t8.
Participating in Earth Hour is easy, fun and absolutely free. To get more information and to sign up to for Earth Hour 2009, just visit www.earthhour.in and agree to turn out your lights from 8:30-9:30 pm on March 28, 2009.
Energy efficiency isn't just good for the bottom line. As citizens of the world, we all have a stake in the future of our planet and must seek to operate in ways that don't deplete our world's limited natural resources.
In the weeks leading up to Earth Hour, we will be taking a closer look at ways we can operate more efficiently, waste less and reduce our environmental footprint—not only in our own operations, but throughout our supply chain. That's because all of us here at Good Earth care about the future of our world and want to do what we can to make a positive difference.

Saravana Bhavan restaurateur gets life for murder
chain, was on Thursday sentenced to life in a murder case by the
Madras High Court that enhanced his 10-year rigorous imprisonment
awarded by a trial court.
A division bench convicted Rajagopal and six others for the 2001
murder. The court also increased his conviction from culpable homicide
not amounting to murder, to culpable homicide amounting to murder.
Rajagopal, 59, who had founded the Saravana Bhavan chain of hotels
worldwide in 1981, had been found guilty of murdering an employee
Prince Shantakumar in 2001. A fast track court had in 2004 sentenced
him to 10 years rigorous imprisonment and fined him Rs 50.5 lakhs.
Rajagopal had also been accused of sexually harassing Shantakumar's
widow, Jeevajothi, and the daughter of another employee Ramaswamy.
Of the fine, Rs 50 lakh was to be handed over to Jeevajothi, the court
had ruled.
Rajagopal, who was rearrested for violating bail conditions during his
trial after allegedly attempting to threaten Jeevajothi, had appealed
to the high court.
The Saravana Bhavan chain of hotels and restaurants, popular for their
range of idlis, dosas and the like, gained further notoriety in
November 2008 after Rajagopal's son P Shiva Kumar was arrested on a
charge of forging documents to smuggle people into the US.
The charges were based on the findings of the US consulate. The arrest
also resulted in the cancellation of several lucrative contracts of
the hotel chain to supply food to American diplomatic missions.
According to the hotel group's website, its outlets are located
"across 22 outlets in South India, three in the North and seven
countries with 22 outlets across the globe".

A railwayman’s unsung sacrifice
Family mourns Assistant Chief Ticket Inspector Sushil Kumar Sharma, killed in terrorist firing |
Sushil Kumar Sharma
Mumbai: Siddhant Sharma, 17, is angry. His slain father's unsung deed on the night of November 26 has left him with an unanswered question. "Why have they not acknowledged my father's [fearless] act?"
Assistant Chief Ticket Inspector Sushil Kumar Sharma, 48, was killed in the terrorist firing at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus that night.
The Sharma family shares Siddhant's anguish. "As told by his fellow colleagues, Sushil was at his office near the station manager's office when the firing started. He immediately headed to the control room to inform the staff of the firing and alert them about the danger posed to incoming trains. Then, on his return, he was moving towards the injured to offer help. That's when he was shot at," says his elder brother, Mahendra Kumar Sharma.
An official letter from the Central Railway states: "Despite several requests from staff at the control office not to go out, Shri Sharma without caring for his life was rushing towards the Mail Line Concourse. However, before he could help other passengers in saving their lives, two bullets hit him and he lost his life."
One bullet hit his shoulder and the other perforated his lungs. While the incident could have occurred between 9.30 am and 10 p.m., no medical aid arrived till about 2.30 a.m. when the railways resumed their operations, says Mr. Mahendra Kumar. At this time, his family members, who were frenetically calling his phone, finally heard a voice at the other end. However, it belonged to a police officer, who told them of Sushil's demise.
While the railway staff who made announcements over the public address system of the attack received accolades, there have been no words of praise for Sushil, who sought to alert and help others instead of seeking the safety of his office. Concern for others was a quality that won Sushil many a faithful friend and well-wisher. Some of his friends have penned eulogies in his memory. "Smile never left his lips/It sent all woes away," says a poem by a friend. A fond letter written by another friend describes him as a "cheerful" person. "Whenever anybody went to him with any problem, he used to solve it in a jiffy."
Mr. Mahendra Kumar realised the extent of his brother's popularity when he came to Mumbai from Gwalior. "On November 28 when we came here, autorickshaws in Kalyan [where Sushil's home is situated] did not charge us or any of our relatives visiting us. Neither did the newspaper vendor round the corner. And for days, the local tea-seller would come home to serve tea for visitors for free."
Yadavendra Kumar Pandey, a cousin of Sushil's, recounts: "I wanted to send a parcel after this incident. It weighed 132 kg. Eight porters lifted it. I happened to mention Sushil. Then I do not know what transpired among them, but none accepted any money!" For his family, the ever-helpful Sushil was the backbone. Emotion gives way as Ragini Sharma, his wife, begins to speak of him. "He was caring, soft-hearted," she says, unable to hold back her tears. "He used to say, 'Ragini, everyone lives for oneself. One should live for others."
In their own quiet way, Sushil's two sons are trying to cope with their pain. Siddhant is preparing for the IIT entrance test.
In fact, on November 26, Sushil had gone to work only to get the IIT test form. He would have stayed home otherwise for it was his younger son Aditya's 12th birthday.
Aditya's easy and childlike ways only belie the sorrow within. "From the way he keeps flitting about, I know what he is going through. When I ask him, 'do you think of papa,' he gets upset and says, 'why do you keep asking me that?' Like us adults, he cannot express what he is feeling," says Ms. Ragini.
The Sharmas are currently locked in paperwork over compensation. Says Mr. Mahendra Kumar, "We have still not received the Rs. 3 lakh ex-gratia from Central Railway. Neither have we heard anything about the Railway Minister's compensation. Only the State government amount has come in."
The family is also planning to seek compensation for those security officers who fought the terrorists. "We feel that even civilians who went outside the bounds of their duty to help should be considered for this. As Sushil did. So, we will write to the authorities. However, money is not our concern. We want him to get the recognition due to him. His act was a step towards countering terrorist activity," reasons Mr. Mahendra Kumar.

Y VOTE 4 OBAMA & BIDEN 4 PRESIDENT!!!!
* Senator BARACK OBAMA & BIDEN WANT TO BRING BACK OUR NATION, U.S.A. FROM ECONOMIC COLLAPSE HAPPENED UNDER REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT, GEORGE BUSH & MAKE AGAIN THE STRONGEST IN THE WORLD, REGAINING OUR LOST TRUST AMONG THE WORLD NATIONS -- SO VOTE FOR ***OBAMA & BIDEN*** TICKET FOR PRESIDENT -- AVOID ANOTHER ECONOMIC DISASTER & MISUSE OF THE AMERICAN FAMILIES' PRECIOUS TAX DOLLARS which is to be used for their critical needs & retirements.
* During the first Obama & McCain debate, Sen. Obama told he will never increase even one Dollar tax for those who make $250,000.00 or less annually. That category is about 95% of the Americans. But the McCain polical advertisement says a lie that Obama will increase taxes of even those who make $42,000.00 - This is a bigggggggg lie.
* Watch the debate -- on the contrary, During the first Obama & McCain debate, Sen. Obama told he will never increase even one Dollar tax for those who make $250,000.00 or less annually.
* Let President Obama make our country the strongest and most respectful again in the World & bring our nation to economic surplus from huge deficits made by Republican president George Bush. Let Obama repeat the history of President Clinton who made our nation, U.S.A. surplus from huge deficits made by Senor President Bush.
* SO VOTE FOR ***OBAMA & BIDEN*** TICKET FOR PRESIDENT WHO WANT TO BRING BACK OUR NATION, U.S.A. FROM ECONOMIC COLLAPSE HAPPENED UNDER REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT, GEORGE BUSH & TO MAKE AGAIN THE STRONGEST IN THE WORLD, REGAINING OUR LOST TRUST AMONG THE WORLD NATIONS.
===============================
* We, the American people don't want John McCain & Sarah Palin make a "3rd term failed & disastrous Bush Government"!
ABOUT MS. SARAH PALIN, (the Republican Vice-Presidential Candidate)
* WE, AMERICAN PEOPLE WONDER HOW CAN A PERSON WHO CAN NOT LEAD OWN CHILD IN RIGHTEOUS & MORAL WAYS CAN LEAD OUR COUNTRY AND US, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN THE RIGHT WAYS. THE REPUBLICAN VICE PRESIDENT CANDIDATE, MS. SARAH PALIN'S 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IS PREGNANT WITHOUT GETTING MARRIED. MS. SARAH PALIN FAILED HER MORAL AND PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS HER DAUGHTER AND GOD AND MANY OTHERS. IN THE BIBLE, 1 THIMOTHY 3:5 SAYS: "IF A PERSON DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO RULE OWN HOUSE, HOW CAN THAT PERSON TAKE CARE OF OTHERS"
* Ms. Sarah Palin should teach her daughter that Fornication and/or Adultery is a sin. Doing sex under age 18 is a crime under United States Law before becoming the Vice President of our great, gracious, religious, Christian nation i.e. United States of America .
* How can anyone who failed the above serious responsibility, can be responsible & qualified to be a Vice President. When President Clinton had an improper relationship, the REPUBLICANS made him undergo wasting toooooooooooo much American people's tax money and time.....I hope we all remember that. He was tried to be impeached just for improper relationship - not for fornication or adultery.
* Hey America wake up and get real.
About Mr. John McCain (the Republican Presidential Candidate)
* John McCain is a great war hero of unnecessary & failed Vietnam War. So he deserve a monument in Washington as a war hero, but he can not make himself a good president with wisdom & proper judgments. Because he has no qualifications to become the American president. He will draw our country to unnecessary war/wars with other country/countries as President, Bush did. See what happened in the case of Iraq war. Mr. McCain voted for the Iraq war, when Obama (the Democratic Presidential Candidate) voted against the Iraq war.
* Now almost numerous Millions (1,000,000s) of the American people think that Iraq war was a big mistake.
* There was no weapons of mass distruction as President, Bush claimed.
* Saddam Hussein, the Iraq president was hanged to death for killing 65 Iraqi people.
* As a result of this unnecessary IRAQ war:
* (1) To conduct this war, Our President Bush had to sacrifice more than 4000 American sons & daughters and/or husbands & wives and/or fathers & mothers and/or brothers & sisters.who were in our most beloved troops.
* (2) To conduct this war, numerous 100,000s of Americans & Iraqis got injured and/lost their beloved lives.
* (3) Numerous 100,000s of Iraqi people became injured, homeless and refugees in other countries as they became homeless, without clothes & food.
* (4) Numerous Billions (numerous thousands of Millions) of American Tax money was wasted for the above Iraq war leaving numerous old American people leaving hungry & without enough to live on.
* (5) There was not at all or very small number of Al Quida in Iraq before the war. Now Iraq became the training grounds for Al Quida.
* At the Republican convention, Mr. Juliani, former New York Mayor told Mr. OBAMA to ask advice from Mr. McCain about foreign policy. Our President, Bush asked the advice to MR. McCAIN about Iraq war. Mr. McCain authorized President Bush to go forward with Iraq war, causing the above sad results. At the same time Mr. Obama advised President Bush not to go for the Iraq war.
* PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL USE WISDOM & RIGHT DECISIONS ALWAYS, WHEN OUR COUNTRY & WE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED THEM.
* So we will & must vote for Mr. OBAMA & BIDEN AS PRESIDENT & V. P.
=========================
STOP THE REPUBLICAN ***LIBERAL DEREGULATORS***AND SAVE OUR ECONOMY, BANKS, WALL STREET, AMERICAN PEOPLE'S (OUR) PRECIOUS TAX DOLLARS, AMERICAN SONS & DAUGHTER FROM UNNECESSARY WARS
* PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL USE WISDOM & RIGHT DECISIONS ALWAYS, WHEN OUR COUNTRY & WE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED THEM.
* SO WE WILL & MUST VOTE FOR MR. OBAMA & BIDEN AS PRESIDENT & V. P.
