Source: Google News India - India | 16 Nov 2008 | 5:06 pm Celebs seek religious harmony charterLos Angeles: A web site launched on Sunday with the backing of technology industry and Hollywood elite urges people worldwide to help craft a framework for harmony between religions. The Charter for Compassion project on the Web at www.charterforcompassion.org springs from a "wish" granted this year to religious scholar Karen Armstrong at a premier Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED) conference in California. "Tedizens" include Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin along with other Internet icons as well as celebrities such as Forest Whittaker and Cameron Diaz. Wishes granted at TED envision ways to better the world and come with a promise that Tedizens will lend their clout and capabilities to making them come true. Armstrong's wish is to combine universal principles of respect and compassion into a charter based on a "golden rule" she believes is at the core of every major religion. The Golden Rule essentially calls on people to do unto others as they would have done unto them. "The chief task of our time is to build a global society where people of all persuasions can live together in peace and harmony," Armstrong said. Charter for Compassion invites people from "all faiths, nationalities, languages and backgrounds" to help draft statements of principles and actions that should be taken. -AFPSource: Daily News & Analysis | 16 Nov 2008 | 5:05 pm Contraceptive jabs for teens raise ire in UKThe government has ordered local authorities to press girls as young as 13 to have contraceptive jabs, which can make girls infertile for up to three monthsSource: Daily News & Analysis | 16 Nov 2008 | 5:02 pm ECB-IPL talks end in stalemateUncertainty remained over the participation of England players in next year's Indian Premier League with the talks between England and Wales Cricket BoardSource: Daily News & Analysis | 16 Nov 2008 | 4:42 pm PCB mulling switching of series with IndiaPakistan Cricket Board might not be saying this openly but the PCB is mulling on options including switching their Test and one-day series with IndiaSource: Daily News & Analysis | 16 Nov 2008 | 4:42 pm Khadi Bhandar building catches fireFire broke out at top floor of Khadi Bhandar building in south Mumbai on Sunday evening, fire officials said.Source: Daily News & Analysis | 16 Nov 2008 | 4:40 pm Obama seeking inspiration from LincolnUS President-elect Barack Obama, who is said to be busy assembling a "team of rivals" in a strategy reminiscent of Abraham LincolnSource: Daily News & Analysis | 16 Nov 2008 | 4:38 pm Cong giving final touches to its manifesto - Zee News
