Britain to India: Diamond in royal crown is ours

AMRITSAR, India (Reuters) - British Prime Minister David Cameron says a giant diamond his country forced India to hand over in the colonial era that was set in the late Queen Elizabeth I's crown will not be returned.

Speaking on the third and final day of a visit to India aimed at drumming up trade and investment, Cameron ruled out handing back the 105-carat Koh-i-Noor diamond, now on display in the Tower of London.

One of the world's largest diamonds, some Indians - including independence leader Mahatma Gandhi's grandson - have demanded its return to atone for Britain's colonial past.

"I don't think that's the right approach," Cameron told reporters on Wednesday after becoming the first serving British prime minister to voice regret about one of the bloodiest episodes in colonial India, a massacre of unarmed civilians in the city of Amritsar in 1919.

"It is the same question with the Elgin Marbles," he said, referring to the classical Greek marble sculptures that Athens has long demanded be given back.

"The right answer is for the British Museum and other cultural institutions to do exactly what they do, which is to link up with other institutions around the world to make sure that the things which we have and look after so well are properly shared with people around the world.

"I certainly don't believe in 'returnism', as it were. I don't think that's sensible."

Britain's then colonial governor-general of India arranged for the huge diamond to be presented to Queen Victoria in 1850.

If Kate Middleton, the wife of Prince William, who is second in line to the throne, eventually becomes queen consort she will don the crown holding the diamond on official occasions.

When Elizabeth II made a state visit to India to mark the 50th anniversary of India's independence from Britain in 1997, many Indians demanded the return of the diamond.

Cameron is keen to tap into India's economic rise, but says he is anxious to focus on the present and future rather than "reach back" into the past.

Josh Klenert: HuffPost para iPad: el proceso de relanzamiento desde dentro

Hemos hecho caso a nuestros lectores.

Aunque el n?mero de usuarios que visitan nuestras p?ginas web y nuestras aplicaciones para dispositivos m?viles est? en niveles sin precedentes, hab?a una cosa clara: nuestros lectores pensaban que la aplicaci?n para iPad estaba llena de fallos y era lenta y dif?cil de utilizar. ?Era evidente que necesit?bamos una remodelaci?n! Los datos no dejaban lugar a dudas: The Huffington Post crece sin parar. A lo largo de poco m?s de siete a?os, ha a?adido docenas de secciones, se ha ampliado a cinco ediciones internacionales y publica cientos de art?culos y reportajes multimedia cada d?a. ?C?mo comprimir todo eso en una aplicaci?n que sea f?cil y r?pida de usar?

2013-02-21-dfdfdfdfdbreezi_placeit.png


La nueva app, que se pone en marcha este jueves en la App Store, incluye m?s capacidad de compartir, incre?bles efectos visuales y una secci?n de v?deo totalmente nueva, con un archivo de HuffPost Live. La nueva aplicaci?n para iPad se ha creado con estos cinco elementos fundamentales:

Una reconstrucci?n desde abajo

No es frecuente, en una marca ya establecida, que el equipo de dispositivos m?viles tenga la oportunidad de empezar desde cero, tirar las 400.000 l?neas de c?digo heredadas del pasado y empezar de nuevo. Desde el punto de vista t?cnico, nuestro objetivo era sentar una base s?lida para desarrollarla durante los dos pr?ximos a?os. Los factores que m?s hab?a que tener en cuenta eran las extraordinarias capacidades de las plataformas m?viles, las expectativas de los usuarios y el hecho de que los dispositivos m?viles son distintos de los ordenadores de mesa. Las principales preocupaciones eran los consumos de datos, la capacidad inform?tica por parte de los clientes y la soporte plenamente local para todas las ediciones internacionales.

2013-02-20-03EntertainmentdoubleiPad.png


Todos los dem?s dise?os, elementos de interfaz y animaciones se crean en c?digo iOS nativo para ofrecer el mejor rendimiento, la interacci?n m?s sencilla con el usuario y una navegaci?n basada en gestos intuitivos y multitoques. Hemos incorporado nuestra nueva API de comentario con las capacidades integradas de compartir del OS.

Voz editorial... a medida

Tambi?n estaba claro desde el principio que HuffPost ofrec?a un incre?ble volumen de contenido en nuestras secciones de noticias, pol?tica, espect?culos y tecnolog?a. Y no somos un agregador automatizado como Flipboard. Los editores escogen los blogs y art?culos que componen sus secciones (adem?s de las cinco ediciones internacionales... ?y las que est?n por venir!). Como filosof?a, quer?amos una experiencia que permitiera a los usuarios personalizar nuestro contenido editorial para disponer sus secciones favoritas, pero tambi?n profundizar m?s. Ahora, desde el principio, los lectores pueden escoger las secciones que les interesan m?s. Pueden pasar el dedo de derecha a izquierda para ver esas secciones y luego pasar hacia abajo para profundizar m?s dentro de una secci?n. Es el mundo de forma inmediata en la punta de los dedos.

La conversaci?n comienza aqu?

Igual que en el ordenador, la conversaci?n es crucial. En la aplicaci?n para iPad hemos reconstruido por completo y redise?ado la secci?n de comentarios, con un c?digo nativo en iOS. Ahora no hay m?s que tocar en la esquina inferior izquierda de un art?culo o blog.

Nativa o receptiva

Era muy tentador construir la nueva app bas?ndonos en HTML5 puro, pero, en mi opini?n, HTML5 no est? refinado todav?a. Para combinar lo mejor de los dos mundos, ofrecemos los art?culos en formato HTML pero, en vez de reproducir el mismo dise?o un mill?n de veces en los dispositivos, lo proporcionamos y almacenamos en el servidor.

Las API originales de HuffPost se crearon pensando en los ordenadores de mesa y proporcionaban demasiados datos innecesarios para los clientes m?viles, as? que hemos hecho una capa intermedia entre las API de base y esos clientes y solo presentamos los datos que verdaderamente necesitan. Al reducir el n?mero de API y construir plantillas de art?culos que tienen en cuenta los tama?os de las pantallas m?viles, hemos podido acelerar los tiempos de carga. En definitiva, la aplicaci?n es nativa. Y receptiva.

No hacen falta instrucciones

Desde el punto de vista del dise?o, esta nueva aplicaci?n no pod?a limitarse a ser una capa fresca de pintura. No quer?amos ser un estorbo para los lectores, sino dejarles que entren en materia lo antes posible. Lo llamamos desde el primer momento el m?todo de "no hacen falta instrucciones": busc?bamos una app que fuera tan intuitiva que no necesit?ramos a?adir ninguna compleja pantalla con un "manual de uso" para la primera vez que entraran los lectores. Lo que s? quer?amos era reflejar la actitud de la p?gina para ordenador en la pantalla peque?a. Hemos reinterpretado nuestros despliegues t?picamente grandes y llamativos del HuffPost, que resaltan las noticias m?s importantes. Para que la lectura sea mejor y m?s f?cil, utilizamos una tipograf?a dise?ada para pantallas digitales por Font Bureau. Con el fin de repasar r?pidamente las noticias, la app emplea una simple rejilla ocupada por el contenido m?s reciente que m?s est? llamando la atenci?n a los lectores.

Este no es m?s que el comienzo, pero confiamos en que la nueva aplicaci?n sea "infinitamente mejor", y, a partir de esta s?lida base, estamos deseando a?adir nuevas caracter?sticas con el tiempo. Est?n atentos a la aplicaci?n para iPhone, que llegar? pronto, as? como la de tel?fonos Android. Descargaos la aplicaci?n y decidnos qu? os parece.

92% Silver Linings Playbook

All Critics (227) | Top Critics (51) | Fresh (200) | Rotten (17)

It's a rom-com that succeeds in revitalizing that discredited genre where so many others have failed, injecting it with the grit and emotion of realist drama rather than with amped-up whimsy or social satire or montages of people walking on the beach.

Silver Linings Playbook tells us that happily-ever-after may depend on finding people who coexist with our lunacy, not ones who can lead us out of it. In any case, it's crazy good.

A crazy beaut of a comedy that brims with generosity and manages to circumvent predictability at every turn.

An edgy romantic dramedy that suits our anxious times.

This meaningful film keeps the laughs, giddy anxiousness and warm butterflies from the trailer and sustains it all through two full hours of a love story.

Director David O. Russell forms a unique and incredible romance dramedy...

There is some charm to the story, but the final act is very neat, predictable, contrived, and not up to originality of the first two.

Director David O. Russell is a little too chipper at times - breaking a restraining order is really no joke - but he brings a breeziness to this likeable tale of two misfits trying to make it work.

It may be a Hollywood comedy, but it's one that feels beautifully alive.

On the surface Silver Linings Playbook is a raucous romantic comedy, but its real interests are superstition and delusion.

A volatile mix of familial drama and madcap comedy, infectious optimism and razor-wire wit, it's one of the most purely enjoyable films released in the past twelve months.

Parece desistir de qualquer tra?o de originalidade em seu cl?max, quando se entrega a todos os clich?s do g?nero: mal-entendidos, mocinhos obrigados a correr atr?s da mocinha pela rua e, claro, o insuport?vel travelling circular do beijo rom?ntico.

I suppose the phrase 'serious romantic comedy' sounds like a paradox. But that's exactly what 'Silver Linings Playbook' is: an intelligent, edgy dark comedy with romance at its core.

This is a rom-com dressed up as an Oscar-baiting "dramedy". It's a good rom-com thanks to it's edge... but occasionally has the bad traits of a bad rom-com.

Silver Linings Playbook puts the "fun" in "dysfunction." And sure, that sounds glib, but actually, it's a rather extraordinary achievement. Especially when you're skirting on the edges of sanity.

A bittersweet pill that's a mixture of an endearing family drama and modern romance that's an absolute delight.

tows the line of conventional, feel-good Hollywood rom-com, albeit dressed up in just enough art-house quirk to make it feel like something slightly radical

A reminder that 'sanity' doesn't make your flaws any more orderly.

Silver Linings Playbook is a fine, funny film, and one that should charm viewers who haven't been tricked by all those Oscar nominations into anticipating it as some kind of world-changing work of art for the ages.

David O. Russell's latest buzz film straddles a fine line between farce and kitchen-sink drama before settling into a groove that gets under one's skin.

It starts to fray about halfway through as it shifts into a more conventional mode, taking on the usual trappings of the genre and making its way to a predictable resolution

Both charming and gritty... Cooper is edgy, while Lawrence is dynamite

If there's one reason why you should see this film, it's to admire the wonderful performances from Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence.

Cooper and Lawrence Shine in Linings.

Infants in poverty show different physiological vulnerabilities to the care-giving environment

Feb. 19, 2013 ? Some infants raised in poverty exhibit physical traits that make them more vulnerable to poor caregiving, according to new research published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. The combination of physiological vulnerability and poor caregiving may lead these children to show increased problem behaviors later in childhood.

For infants growing up in poverty, the ability to adapt and regulate -- both biologically and behaviorally -- in response to various environmental pressures seems to be critical for successful development.

To explore why some at-risk children wither while others bloom, researcher Elisabeth Conradt and colleagues examined data from a longitudinal study that followed women at risk for parenting problems and their infants. Conradt, who is now a postdoctoral researcher at the Brown Center for the Study of Children at Risk, conducted the study as a graduate student at the University of Oregon.

To assess infants' vulnerability, the researchers looked at their respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) -- a physiological marker of the degree to which infants are attuned to their environment -- when the infants were five months old. They also looked at infants' attachment style and level of problem behaviors at 17 months.

The results revealed interactions between physiological vulnerability and environmental context in relationship to infants' developmental outcomes.

Infants who had high baseline RSA at five months and who were raised in an environment that promoted disorganization displayed more problem behaviors than did infants who had a high baseline RSA and were raised in an environment that fostered security.

These results support the idea that poverty is not a uniform stressor. High-RSA infants raised in disorganized caregiving environments faced the double whammy of an insensitive caregiver and poverty. For these infants, high baseline RSA may have increased their sensitivity to negative parenting experiences, leading them to develop coping strategies that became problematic later in childhood. Indeed, in this study, these infants fared the worst, showing problem-behavior scores that were far above clinical risk indices.

But poverty did not have the same effect for high-RSA infants who had nurturing caregivers. Physiological susceptibility -- in the form of high baseline RSA -- may have enabled these infants to be more attuned to, and affected by, a sensitive caregiver. The data suggest that these infants had the lowest levels of problem behavior, falling below community norms reported in other studies.

Infants with low baseline RSA showed higher than average problem behaviors, regardless of caregiving environment. The researchers speculate that, for these infants, poverty may be a more powerful predictor of problem behavior than the immediate parenting context.

Conradt and colleagues argue that this research may have important implications for efforts to identify the children who are most vulnerable to developing problem behavior given their biological and environmental risk factors early in life.

Along with Conradt, co-authors include Jeffrey Measelle and Jennifer Ablow of the University of Oregon.

Chavez back in Venezuela, stirs succession talk

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) ? Hugo Chavez's sudden return to Venezuela after more than two months of cancer treatments in Cuba has fanned speculation that the president could be preparing to relinquish power and make way for a successor and a new election.

The government is insisting that Chavez remains in charge, playing an upbeat jingle on state television Tuesday with the message: "He's back, he's back!" But political analysts said he could soon take the oath of office in a delayed swearing-in ceremony as a first step toward a formal resignation, and a transition of power. Taking the oath, however, wouldn't be required for the country's congress and Supreme Court to call a new election.

Chavez remained silent and out of sight a day after his return was announced on his Twitter account Monday. The government said he was continuing unspecified medical treatments at Caracas' military hospital.

"The big question, beyond where the president is, is whether the president is capable of governing," said Mariana Bacalao, a professor of public opinion at the Central University of Venezuela. She said it seems unlikely that Chavez would be able to overcome his illness.

Even the state newspaper Correo del Orinoco referred to the possibility of a new election in its Monday edition. The top headline, published before Chavez's announced return, reported on a survey by the pollster Hinterlaces that showed Vice President Nicolas Maduro with a double-digit lead over opposition leader Henrique Capriles if a vote were held.

Chavez hasn't spoken publicly since before his latest cancer surgery in Cuba on Dec. 11, and critics are questioning whether a leader who has been breathing through a tube and is unable to appear in public is now capable of remaining in office.

"This tension isn't sustainable for much longer. Now that he's here, they can't let another 70 days pass for an image to appear or for him to speak," Bacalao said. "There has to be a convincing response because people are waiting for an outcome."

Chavez's political allies have left open the possibility that the president may finally take the oath of office, a ceremony originally scheduled for last month. But they have given few precise details about his cancer or what sort of "complex and tough" treatment he is undergoing.

Aides and politicians in Chavez's camp have said he should be given as much time as he needs to recover.

"We can't demand anything more of Chavez. Now we have to see how we can help more, being more efficient, more productive," Aragua state Gov. Tareck El Aissami said on state television on Tuesday.

Bolivian President Evo Morales, a friend and ally of Chavez, made a brief visit to Caracas on Tuesday and arrived at the military hospital together with Maduro. Morales left the hospital later without speaking to reporters.

Chavez's return came less than three days after the government released the first photos of the president in more than two months, showing him in a bed looking bloated and smiling alongside his daughters.

The government has yet to release any images of the president in Caracas. But as soon as his return was announced on Monday, supporters held upbeat street celebrations and set off fireworks.

The way the government has played his return seems one more attempt to take advantage of the situation and "keep the government political class in power," said Jose Vicente Carrasquero, a political science professor at Simon Bolivar University in Caracas.

The 58-year-old Chavez was re-elected to a new six-year term in October, and his inauguration, originally scheduled for Jan. 10, was indefinitely postponed by lawmakers despite complaints by the opposition. The Supreme Court upheld the decision and said the president could be sworn in at a later date before the court.

Carrasquero said he sees Chavez's eventual swearing-in ceremony as an obligation for the government.

"Once the swearing-in is performed, in my opinion we're facing three possible scenarios: one is that the president resigns immediately and elections are called more or less quickly," Carrasquero said, adding that other possible scenarios would include declaring a temporary, 90-day absence of the president, which could be extended for another 90 days.

A third scenario would be the status quo, Carrasquero said, but sooner or later, a new presidential vote seems "inevitable." He and other analysts say it's hard to predict how long that might take.

The Venezuelan Constitution says that if a president dies or steps down, a new vote must be called and held within 30 days. Chavez raised that possibility before he left for Cuba in December by saying that if necessary, Maduro should run in a new election to replace him.

Asked about Chavez's return, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland noted the possibility of a new vote.

"It is obviously a matter for Venezuelans to decide how the transition is going to take place," Nuland told reporters in Washington on Tuesday. She said "we would hope that that election would be free and fair and balanced," and that there would be open media access.

On Monday night, Maduro and other Cabinet ministers held hands and prayed in a televised gathering where a priest and a minister offered words of thanks for Chavez's return.

"He will live and he will triumph," Maduro said earlier while leading a Cabinet meeting on Monday night. As the meeting ended, on television an image of Chavez's face was superimposed on the oval-shaped table.

Officials have confirmed that Chavez is breathing through a tracheal tube, but it's unclear if he is breathing on his own or is relying on a ventilator.

"It is possible that he has a tracheostomy without being ventilator-dependent, although it isn't clear why that would be the case," said Dr. Steve Hahn, a professor of radiation oncology at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine.

Hahn, who is not involved in Chavez's treatment, said swallowing usually becomes difficult, though not impossible, for patients who have undergone the procedure and have a hole in the windpipe.

The alternatives for patients who can no longer swallow include a tube coming out of the stomach or the nose, or intravenous feeding, Hahn said. "The patient may not be receiving IV fluids or antibiotics, although they often are."

Hahn said that given Chavez's treatment regimen and evolution, he could have a low-grade sarcoma that is continuing to come back.

"It certainly sounds like he is receiving palliative chemotherapy," Hahn said. "It does sound as if his situation is incurable and most likely end-stage."
