Douglas Blasts Judge Over Son’s ‘Harsh’ Jail Sentence

Michael Douglas’ ex-wife Diandra Douglas has vowed to fight a ruling banning them from visiting their son in prison for the next two years, branding it “harsh” and “unjust”.

Cameron Douglas is currently serving a five-year prison term after being convicted of possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute and one count of cocaine possession, relating to a drug bust in 2009.

He was recently given an additional four-and-a-half years for smuggling narcotics into his prison cell, and the judge overseeing the case also banned Cameron from receiving any family visits for two years.

However, his mother Diandra, who divorced the Hollywood actor in 2000, is furious about the sentence and has vowed to appeal.

She tells the New York Post’s gossip column PageSix, “Cameron was used because of his famous last name to set an example of ruthless punishment… Humans – and certainly my son – are by their very nature in need of other human contact to maintain mental health…

“We will appeal this sentence… It is way too harsh and unjust. I have not been allowed to see Cameron for the past two months or speak to him. My only communication has been through the mail…

“Two years with no family visitation, with only one call out per month. The hope and love that Cameron receives from his family visits, I believe, is what sustains him through these unbearable times… We boost his self-esteem, of which he has been totally robbed.”

Aug. 18 (Bloomberg) — Billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries Ltd. was toppled as India’s most valuable company for the first time in four years by Coal India Ltd. as demand for the fuel attracted investors.

Coal India, the world’s biggest producer of the fuel, rose 2.8 percent to 397.90 rupees at the close in Mumbai yesterday, valuing the company at $55.35 billion. Reliance, which declined for the ninth day in the past 10, fell 0.6 percent to 755 rupees, giving it a market capitalization of $54.45 billion.

The state-owned miner has surged 26 percent this year on demand for coal Fake swiss watches, used to generate more than half the country’s electricity. Reliance has slumped 29 percent Franck Muller Replica, the most since 2008, as declining natural gas production curbed profit growth. The key Sensitive Index has fallen 18 percent this year.

“Coal will continue to be the most widely used fuel for energy generation for a long time,” Alex Mathews, head of research at Geojit BNP Paribas Financial Services Ltd., said by phone from the southern city of Kochi. “As long as that continues and as long as India is growing, there’s no stopping the Coal India story.”

Coal accounted for 53 percent of India’s fuel consumption in 2010, while oil and gas had a combined share of 40 percent Submariner watches, according to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy.

The world’s third-biggest coal consumer may more than triple its use in the next two decades to 2 billion metric tons, according to Coal Minister Sriprakash Jaiswal. India produces 530 million tons of coal a year and imports about 67 million tons, he said.

Coal Reserves

Coal India had proven resources of 52.55 billion tons, of which 21.75 billion was extractable as of April 1, 2010, according to the company’s website.

“There are no compelling reasons to buy Reliance,” said Kamlesh Kotak, the Mumbai-based vice-president of research at Asian Markets Securities Pvt. “Coal India, though, will always have demand for its produce. Its underlying reserves are huge.”

The federal government raised 152 billion rupees ($3.3 billion) selling Coal India shares at 245 rupees each in October in the country’s biggest initial public offering. The miner increased coal prices in February and was included in the key Tissot Replica, 30-member Sensitive Index starting Aug. 8.

The Kolkata-based producer of more than 80 percent of India’s coal reported a 63 percent increase in profit in the three months ended June 30 to 41.4 billion rupees. Annual profit may rise about 10 percent if the sales target of 454 million tons for this financial year is achieved Louis Vuitton Replica, according to Chairman Nirmal Chandra Jha.

Reliance Refining

Coal India’s net income may climb 39 percent to 150.7 billion rupees in the year ending March 31, according to the average estimate of 34 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.

Gains from crude oil refining helped to boost Reliance’s net income in the quarter ended June 30 to the highest since the three months ended December 2007. Quarterly profit may have peaked, unless gas output rises, because refining margins may remain at the current level or fall, according to Prashant Kamdar, an analyst with Guiness Securities Ltd. in Kolkata.

Profit at Reliance, which owns the world’s largest oil refining complex, may rise 18 percent to 227.7 billion rupees in this fiscal year, according to the mean estimate of 26 analysts.

Output from Reliance’s KG-D6 block, India’s biggest gas deposit, declined 18 percent in the quarter ended June 30 from a year earlier to 156.2 billion cubic feet, the company said July 25, without providing a reason.

Reliance is seeking BP Plc’s expertise in deepwater drilling to boost gas production after agreeing in February to sell a 30 percent stake in some of its fields to the London- based company for $7.2 billion.

Reliance surpassed state-run Oil & Natural Gas Corp. as India’s biggest company by market value in February 2007.

New Delhi: In a split decision, the parliamentary panel studying the Lokpal bill on Thursday decided to keep around 6 million Group C employees – the bottom layer of government employees – out of the anti-graft ombudsman, leading to 10 members submitting a note of dissent on the draft report.

Sources said the dissent note has been submitted by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Cartier lanieres watches, Communist Party of India-Marxist, Revolutionary Socialist Party and the Samajwadi Party members of the 31-member panel.

BJP MP Harin Pathak said: ‘We have given our dissent note. The draft report appears to be against the sense of parliament conveyed to Anna Hazare.’

The sense of parliament on having Lokayuktas in states, a citizen’s charter and bringing lower bureaucracy under the Lokpal – among the demands set forth by Hazare, was conveyed to Hazare by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in a letter Aug 27.

Expressing doubt that the panel would recommend a strong Lokpal, Samajwadi Party member Shailendra Kumar termed the Thursday meeting as ‘mysterious’.

‘There was an agreement on most issues Fake franck muller watches, including keeping Group C staff within Lokpal Wednesday. What was the need for today’s meeting,’ asked Kumar.

Group C employees consist of peons, lower-level clerical staff Franck muller watches, drivers Breitling superocean heritage, cleaners etc. Hazare wanted this group included under the ombudsman ambit U-boat Replica, saying these employees interacted most with people and were the face of the bureaucracy.

Sources said Thursday’s meeting was called suddenly after some members expressed concern over some issues and wanted a clarification.

Sources said the panel reversed its decision to keep Group C within Lokpal under pressure from the government.

They said chairman of the parliamentary standing committee on law and justice Abhishek Manu Singhvi met the Congress core committee at the official residence of the prime minister soon after the panel meeting was over Wednesday evening.

Singhvi said Thursday: ‘We agreed to disagree on some issues though there is consensus on most points. The sense of the house (division) will be reflected in the report.’

He said the panel would hold a brief meeting within 10 days to adopt the final draft report which will then be tabled in both houses of parliament.

The Biju Janata Dal representative, who sided with the Congress members on the issue of keeping Group C out, has given a separate dissent note on the selection process of the Central Bureau of Investigation director.

Another member, Lok Janshakti Party chief Ram Vilas Paswan has also given a dissent note asking for reservation for Dalits, backwards and minorities in the Lokpal panel.

Besides the Group C staff issue, sources said there is a division among the members on bringing the prime minister under the Lokpal and on the autonomy of the CBI.

New Films Fail To Revive Sluggish Box Office

Following this weekend’s results, it became apparent that the 2011 domestic box office would total $10.1 billion, down 4.5 percent from 2010, with attendance down 5.3 percent. That’s on top of the 6-percent decline last year. The downturn comes despite an increase in the number of theaters equipped to show 3D films and the number of films distributed in the format. According to BoxOfficeMojo.com, 40 3D movies were released in 2011 versus 24 a year ago. With 3D films commanding surcharges of $3 to $5 or 24 to 40 percent of the standard ticket price of $7.89, one might have expected that the additional charge would have far offset the 5.3 percent downturn in attendance. But many moviegoers, it would seem, shunned the 3D format and sought out regular 2D screenings, even when those screenings occurred at inconvenient times in a limited number of theaters. Oddly, the overseas box office appears headed for a record year — at least in several markets. The British box office is expected to cross the £1 billion ($1.56 billion) mark this year, coming in ahead of last year’s £988 million ($1.54 billion) with a slight increase also in attendance. Indeed, attendance in the U.K. may come in ahead of 2002’s record of 175 million. Rob Arthur, managing director at independent chain Apollo Cinemas, told the London Independent that 3D movies accounted for a third of theater revenue.
