India has a couple of Trillion dollars worth economy and hence a huge market for War Industry of which great USA is the biggest supplier and whose economy thrives on it. How about initiating a war between India and China? Both are hostile and have a territorial dispute already! India is sure to have then at least 50% of US produced ‘Weapons to Kill’, with no concession too. India has a huge Gold Reserve as well, being the biggest consumer of Gold. Even the ‘Fort Knox’ would seem a ‘Piggy Bank’ if India can be stripped off it’s last gold coin. So, if USA want to have humongous Gold reserves as crude oil as a currency valuation benchmark is no more in existent. Already China is emerging and want to be a World Power and world powers are required to do Military Adventures and on the other hand India is much weaker but still with a populace ruled by corrupt people and with huge ‘Gold’. The sheer amount of gold in India is mind boggling it roughly has 100 times more than what the reserves are within the hold of the government and the ‘Reserve Bank’. Recently in a Kerala Temple India, in it’s secret chamber 5 out of six the amount was found stood at $ 23 Billion most of it being in Gold and Diamonds. Indians in a state of war would give and empty their gold deposits at willingly to carry on the conflict too! So, this should be a great profitable game for US, if it can do so. Dollar would be much more stronger than ever before if it can make this happen!

I live in DMA 17. As you may know the McGraw-Hill Broadcasting division (one station being Denver’s ABC affil KMGH) is for sale and there is plenty of interest.
The license of Local NBC affil KUSA and minor “network” My Network TV affiliate KTVD are both held by Multimedia Holdings Corporation, a subsidiary of Gannett CO.
Hypothetically, if Gannett thought it was in their best interest to buy KMGH, would the following be a way to avoid FCC restrictions on major network duopoly ownership?
First, Gannett could create another holding company (lets call it TVX Holding Corp). After purchasing and hanging the KMGH license with TVX Holding Corp, TVX Holding Corp could then create a Local Marketing Agreement which would lend operations of KMGH to KUSA, thereby circumventing the duopoly restrictions (I think).
Another possibly would be that TVX Holding Corp is owned by Gannett (49.9%) and (lets say) Another Brand Broadcasting (50.1%). Since Another Brand Broadcasting doesn’t have a station in the market, again TVX Holding Corp could then create a Local Marketing Agreement which would lend operations of KMGH to KUSA, thereby circumventing the duopoly restrictions (I think).

We have very recently become very uncomfortable with how modern medicine handles birth proceedures and my wife now would feel much more comfortable with giving birth at home. We live 1.5 miles from the nearest hospital, which is where our current OB/GYN is affiliated with. It would take us about 5 minutes to get to the hospital if we needed to go.

How can I make my comments and posts from different yahoo affiliates websites invisible from messenger to all of my friends?
Currently, everyone from my messenger list can see what and where I’ve added a comment which is quite annoying.
