In today's briefing:

1.  Look at government's reasoning for waiving cost audits.

2.  The global market meltdown and comparison with the East Asian Crisis of 1997-98.

3.  Quattrocchi is free again!!!  I am not surprised.  Are you?

4.  Can you think of an alternative to GDP?  Abdul Kalam does.  Take a look.

5.  You wanted to know about hedge funds; didn't you?  You have a good primer in today's Hindu.  I gave a link to it from our blog.

6.  What is Shanghai Cooperation Organization?  Why is it in the news now?

7.  Ever heard of Viking raids?  Let's learn a bit about them.

That's all for today.  Happy reading.
