Pakistan: Attack on Hindus prompts blasphemy case

KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) ? Pakistani police say they have registered a blasphemy case against nine Muslims suspected of attacking a Hindu temple.

The case is fairly unusual ? Pakistan's harsh blasphemy laws are more often invoked against alleged insults to Islam, not minority faiths.

The laws, sections of which carry the death penalty or life imprisonment, have faced international scrutiny this year after a young Christian girl in Islamabad was accused of desecrating a Quran.

Police officer Mohammad Hanif said Muslims protesting an anti-Islam film on Sept. 21 ransacked the Sri Krishna Ram temple in a Hindu neighborhood on the outskirts of the southern city of Karachi.

They allegedly broke Hindu statues, damaged a holy book and beat the custodian.

A cleric is among the suspects, but none had been arrested as of Sunday.

BP to Sell Malaysian PTA Interests to India?s Reliance

BP today announced that it has agreed to sell all its interests in purified terephthalic acid (PTA) production in Malaysia to Reliance Global Holdings Pte. Ltd. (Reliance). The agreement concerns BP?s 100 per cent equity in BP Chemicals (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (BPCM), located at Kuantan on the east coast of Malaysia.

Reliance has agreed to purchase BP?s interest in BPCM for $230 million in cash and both parties anticipate completing the transaction in 2012.

James Yim, head of BP's aromatics business in Asia, said: ?This is an efficient plant with a good market position in the region. RECRON Malaysia, part of the Reliance Group, is already our largest customer in Malaysia and Reliance Industries is a significant feedstock supplier at Kuantan, so Reliance is a natural owner of this plant.?

Nick Elmslie, chief executive of BP Petrochemicals said: ?BP has a major, global PTA business, with around one fifth of global PTA production capacity and a track record of leading technology. We will continue to concentrate our PTA strategy on deploying new technologies into high growth markets like China where we are in the middle of a considerable expansion programme, and in OECD markets where our technology gives us an advantage and high utilization rates.

?We are also building new revenue streams by licensing our PTA and paraxylene technologies.?

All current staff of BPCM are expected to transfer to the new owners under equivalent terms and conditions. BP?s acetic acid manufacturing and marketing business in Malaysia is unaffected by this sale.

Notes:

The $230 million in cash includes the net value of working capital and cash, estimated at a Malaysian Ringgit to US Dollars exchange rate of 3.1. The final value will be determined by prevailing Ringgit exchange rate before completion of the sale.

Including this agreement, BP has agreed divestments of assets with a total value of around $33 billion since the start of 2010. BP currently expects to increase this total to $38 billion by the end of 2013.

BPCM?s PTA plant, commissioned in 1996, has nameplate production capacity of 610,000 tonnes per year (tpa).*

BP?s current net global PTA capacity is 7.5 million tonnes per year (mtpa) from eight sites in the US (2), Belgium, China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Taiwan (2). The largest is at Zhuhai, China where expansion of its current capacity of 1.5mtpa is expected to add a further 1.25mtpa by 2014, making it one of the world?s largest PTA manufacturing sites.*

BP has been present in Malaysia since the 1960s and has over 850 staff in the country, including BPCM.

BP has a 70 per cent interest in a 560,000tpa acetic acid plant in Kertih*; a lubricants plant at Port Klang; and markets lubricants in Malaysia under both the Castrol and BP brands.

BP is currently in the process of growing its Asian Business Service Centre in Kuala Lumpur, which supports business and functional operations both regionally and globally.

Solid Internet Marketing Advice For A New Business

Find out as much as you can about your regular visitors to your site. This can be done using basic (usually free) or enterprise level (for large sites) web analytic services. By knowing your audience, you will be able to add the content that they seek. This is sure to drive up the amount of traffic to your site.

You should advertise your website online but also in the real world: tell everyone you know about your business. Do not push people to buy your products. Simply let them know about what you are doing. If they ever need the kind of products you sell, they will think about you.

You should join a few forum about online business and ask others what they think of your website and marketing strategies. Offer people to review their sites in exchange. You could also have customers review your site for you if you offer them a free sample or a free product in exchange.

Create an impression of stability and durability in your online marketing copy by replacing the words ?buy? and ?pay for? with more optimistic phrases that compare the purchase to an investment in their own future. This makes the sale seem more practical and responsible and less of a splurge. Reinforce the idea by including feedback from other customers who have echoed that sentiment.

Combine useful products into a package deal. Offering each single product at a higher price, but combining them into one that would be lower for each item is a tactic used by thousands of stores throughout the world, simply because it works. Customers would likely purchase these products at some point anyway, so allowing them to do it as a cheaper bundle is a great incentive.

If you are going to use a video or a picture on your website, make sure you tag it properly. People using Google Images or a similar search engine will find your picture and end up on your website if they click on it. It works the same way with videos.

Choose a professional email address. When you take the time to set up a professional looking website, do not lose your customer right when they wish to contact you. While an email to ?yobigdaddy? may seem humorous, it can come across as extremely unprofessional. Stick with your name or your business name, and save the humor for your personal address.

While there may be no ?perfect? system in existence, there are a lot of simple methods and techniques that can be utilized to greatly increase your profits. It takes time, dedication, and study within your niche to climb the ladder, but in the end it will all be worth it.

Lucas' wife suffering from cancer

Actor Josh Lucas'?new bride has revealed she is battling cervical cancer.

Jessica Henriquez risked her health and life to carry the Sweet Home Alabama star's son Noah to full term in June after doctors advised her to consider undergoing a hysterectomy, and now she faces a full-on cancer battle after learning the disease has advanced from stage 1A to stage 1B.

Henriquez tells the Huffington Post she kept the news to herself until she fell for Lucas and began a whirlwind romance last year that turned into marriage in March and while she was mulling over her options she fell pregnant.

She says, "I hadn't thought about children. It wasn't my dream since I was a little girl to have a family, but when a doctor looks you in the eyes and takes that option off the table, it immediately sets something off in you - this motherhood gene."

Henriquez chose to continue with the pregnancy against doctors' advice, adding, "I think that things happen in life that you have to pay attention to."

Little Noah was born in June and now the proud mom is convinced she made the right decision: "I don't for a second regret anything... If the cancer has progressed because I did nothing for a year to contain it or treat it, I don't feel any guilt, and I don't feel like it was a bad decision.

"Every morning that I wake up with Josh and Noah, I'm even more assured that it was the right decision for me."

Henriquez will continue treatment.

Zeppelin tout concert film, mum on future plans

LONDON (AP) ? The song remains the same, as Led Zeppelin once observed. But Zeppelin fans can visit the band's music anew thanks to a film of the rock titans' last show together in 2007.

That was the band's first full show in 27 years. Singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones got together again Friday to promote the film ? but that may be as close as fans will get to a new reunion.

At a news conference, the members flatly declined to answer when asked if they were tempted to perform together as Led Zeppelin.

Plant said that even lining up onstage to answer questions ? "like a bunch of soccer managers being interviewed after a match" ? was not his idea of fun.

The band members have moved on, with Plant in particular finding success in other genres. He has played with musicians from Mali and won a Grammy in 2009 for his rootsy collaborations with bluegrass musician Alison Krauss.

And, the 64-year-old singer admitted: "I struggle with some lyrics for particular periods of time" ? particularly for the famously cryptic "Stairway to Heaven."

He's not alone. Many listeners find that Zeppelin lyrics range from mystical to unintelligible.

"Maybe I'm still trying to work out what I was talking about," Plant said.

But the musicians are proud of the December 2007 show at London's 02 Arena captured in director Dick Carruthers' crisp and energetic concert film "Celebration Day."

The concert, attended by 18,000 ticket-holders selected from more than 1 million applicants, was a tribute to Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, an early mentor of the band.

Onscreen, the 1970s hard rock heroes ? joined by Jason Bonham, son of original drummer John Bonham ? look relaxed and sound confident as they power through hits including "Kashmir," ''Dazed and Confused," ''Whole Lotta Love" and ? of course ? "Stairway to Heaven."

Four decades after they fused blues, R&B and rock 'n' roll into a new kind of hard rock, they remain very much the 1970s rock gods ? Plant the strutting frontman, Page the gurning guitar god, Jones the unshakeable bass player.

Their chemistry is obvious, even though Plant says they don't see each other much these days. Led Zeppelin disbanded after the death of drummer John Bonham, who choked on vomit in 1980 at the age of 32.

Plant said that diving back into the band's music for the concert had been "a spectacular experience."

"To get through it and come out the other side was something not much short of miraculous," he said.

Plant said having Jason Bonham join the band for the show was "strange and it was peculiar at times" ? but also wonderful.

Page said Jason Bonham's "encyclopedic knowledge" of Led Zeppelin had been invaluable.

"Jason was absolutely monumental," the 68-year-old guitarist said. "From the very first rehearsal right through to the O2."

Led Zeppelin's resistance to reforming the band ? despite the vast sums on offer ? is the mark of a group unwilling to dwell too much in its own past.

Plant said that like the early Delta bluesmen who inspired him, Led Zeppelin is "from another time."

Rock behemoths like Led Zeppelin were blown from the charts by punk ? "I think we were ousted by the Cockney Rejects in 1977 for being a bit long-winded," Plant said ? before being rediscovered by new generations.

"Celebration Day" is released in 1,500 theaters around the world Oct. 17 and on DVD and other formats Nov. 19. No future Led Zeppelin projects have been announced.

But you never know. Jones, 66, laughed off a question about why there had been a five-year gap between the concert and the film.

"Five years ? that's five minutes in Zeppelin time," he said.
