<title>Search for extraterrestrial life goes on even without Kepler.</title>
<description>CNN that the much beloved telescope, which &amp;#039;;has found more than 2,700 possible planets orbiting stars other than our Sun, of which more than 100 have been confirmed,&amp;#039;; may be nearing the end of its life now that &amp;#039;;the second of four of the Kepler spacecraft&amp;#039;s reaction wheels, which aim the vessel&amp;#039;s instruments, appears to have failed. It remains to be seen whether full ... </description>

<title>Aesthetic path to enlightenment</title>
<description>Later, Buddhism brings in bhakti as a valid source of knowledge and therefore moksha, but surprisingly avoids aesthetic discourse and does not advocate the undertaking of aesthetic experience despite the fact that Buddhists were the most prolific image makers and mural painters. Asvaghosa&amp;#039;s Budhacharita is considered to be one of the first poetic compositions in Sanskrit, rich with ... </description>

<title>Indias nowhere people The BJPs obstruction of enclave swaps with Bangladesh is hurting Indian citizens</title>

The amendment relates to the 1974 India-Bangladesh Land Boundary Agreement (LBA); the protocol for this was inked during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh&amp;#039;s visit to Dhaka in September 2011. Should the amendment pass muster in Parliament, it would operationalise ... </description>

Last November, a garment factory fire killed more than 100 people. So the tannery worker&amp;rsquo;s assessment sounds like a sick joke. But the truth is it was a realistic assessment of the deplorable health and safety conditions in Bangladesh.  Indeed, ... </description>

But it knew, and nongovernmental organizations concerned with the subject knew, little or nothing of the scale of abuse that British agents and soldiers were already ... </description>

<title>Putins State Capitalism Means Falling Growth</title>
<description>Russia&amp;#039;s economic growth rate is causing serious concern. The fundamental problem is that Russia has almost reached full capacity. Growth is likely to stay low until Russia undertakes profound systemic reforms, but no such reforms are on the agenda.  Russia&amp;#039;s gross domestic product grew reasonably well at 4.3 percent in 2010 and 2011. The growth rate dropped to 3.4 percent in 2012 and ... </description>

Fogle was caught red-handed trying to recruit one of its officers, carrying cash, a letter, a compass, a map, sunglasses and two wigs. We don&amp;rsquo;t know what Fogle was doing, but the story sounds fishy. Back in the 1970s, perhaps, a CIA case officer would ... </description>

<title>Mental illness has many faces</title>

We have had our emotions stretched from fear to anger to sadness as we&amp;rsquo;ve heard about Aurora, Newtown, or any number of stories involving untimely deaths and heartache.  I&amp;rsquo;d like to offer you a different face of mental illness. One in which a ... </description>
