| Rita Sharma: England's richest Asian woman entrepreneur
Rita Sharma should be a public relations delight. She scripts like the perfect heroine of any number of minority success stories. She's just 47, the richest woman Asian entrepreneur in Britain, a successful mother and CEO, the college dropout who built up her business from the classic garage.
To a level that now puts her worth, according to the Asian rich list, at an estimated GBP 100 mn - around Rs 820 cr last year. Besides, she can give any ramp model a run for her photo shoots. But Britain's richest Asian woman entrepreneur is elusive. Like most successful women, she'd rather be taken seriously for her work than as a poster girl for any cause.
Described as one of the richest women in London in a rare interview with Telegraph, UK, Rita's stayed out of media buzz, and isn't one of the usual suspects who march in the pravasi success parade.

Educating Mr. Wright: Man, it is a tough job, but somebody's got to bring these eggheads up to speed. ... 6:09 P.M. ___________________________ Mrs. Russert Blogs: Maureen Orth notes that "Elvis's death in 1977 rated two paragraphs in People Magazine." But, if memory serves, that's not entirely because the culture of celebrity wasn't well-developed back then (Orth's point). It's because in 1977 Elvis was not such a big deal. ... P.S.: Why isn't Orth blogging for HuffPo? Memo to Arianna: She seems like a natural fit. Memo to Orth: It's not bloggy to let a few little disagreements get in the way of mutually beneficial traffic-sharing. Enmity is so print. The Web's win-win! ...

CAN real consumption inequality decline even as income inequality increases? The Economics Focus piece in the current edition of the newspaper argues that it can and has. Paul Krugman's emphatic rejoinder on his New York Times blog fails entirely to join this issue, despite his table-thumping rhetoric. What Mr Krugman does do is to gesture toward nominal consumption inequality numbers that he prefers over those offered by Dirk Krueger and Fabrizio Perri, professors of economics at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Minnesota respectively, who he seems to think are guilty of "the misuse of the Consumer Expenditure Survey." But this is, as Mr Krugman recognises, "a narrow technical issue." More importantly, it is mostly beside the point of the piece he is criticising, which is this: But consumption numbers, too, conceal as much as they illuminate.
Good Morning America from Coeur d'Alene
Tragically, the lead bunny lost his life in the ring that day and I was forced to flee Nepal. I now reside in Hayden, where I must admit, life is okay. It is not near as cold as the Himalayas, but there are more lakes. I have a great job working as a personal trainer for the Red Hot Mama's and I have been able to buy a Viking home on the Prarie, (similar to the blow and go cheap builder Mongol Construction in Nepal). Citizens of this town should be proud of where they live, despite the fact that the area faces many of the same challenges Nepal did. Besides, if worse comes to worse, you can do like my fellow Nepalese fighting monks did, and start a revolution. " .
Vivienne King: The Crown Estate
I observe codes of corporate governance and ensure good governance is in place. I manage compliance across the business - for example, at the moment I'm interviewing a health and safety manager. I also look at the combined codes and see whether we need to alter practices in any way." The most significant real estate project occupying King's time at present is the 500m Quadrant scheme - a one million sq ft redevelopment of three buildings in the Regent Street area. King says she finds the project exciting due to its size and what it has to offer London. She also cites its environmental credentials: the venture has a central energy system, which includes a generator that is partly hydrogen-fuelled. SJ Berwin is handling transactional work on the development as part of its wider responsibility for the 2bn Regent Street portfolio - the lion's share of the Crown Estate's total 7bn assets.

OLBERMANN: With this energy of change, this new sort of larger than usual of this energy of change among the electorate at all ends of the spectrum seemingly, whichever of those means of change is considered the minimum, whether it‘s Clinton, Edwards, Obama, is there any construction in which it would not be enough to energize the voters this fall and there could be Republican actually presenting change as if they‘re had been significant change from the Republicans more recently than 1980? MADDOW: Well, I think it‘s going to be hard for a Republican to run on a change platform in the general. I think they can run on the change platform among themselves, that‘s amusing to see Mitt Romney run as the change candidate for example. OLBERMANN: I‘m different than my father and mother.
