Mexico woman bitten by dogs, hospitalized
MEXICO ? A local woman was hospitalized Thursday afternoon after she was bitten while trying to separate her two fighting dogs.
Police Chief James Theriault said Katie Child was in her apartment Thursday afternoon when her full-blooded pitbull and a golden retriever/pitbull mix began fighting.
?She tried to get between them and stop the fighting, and both dogs bit her on the hand,? Theriault said.
Animal Control Officer Anne Simmons-Edmunds, with the help of Mexico officer Holly Poulin, arrived and quarantined the dogs.
Simmons-Edmunds said Friday that under state law ?all dogs that bite are required to be quarantined for 10 days, whether they bit a stranger, their owner or another dog."
?In this case, the owners have agreed to quarantine the dogs within their own apartment,? Simmons-Edmunds said. ?They put each dog in a separate room, and in 10 days, they'll be brought to the vet's office for a checkup. If the vet says they're OK, the dogs will be released.?
Simmons-Edmunds said the fight likely occurred as the result of a dominance issue between the dogs.
?The pitbull was actually the father of the other dog, and neither have been neutered,? she said. ?While it's hard to say exactly what happened there, it sounds like it could have been one dog trying to assert its dominance over the other.?
Theriault said Child ?was bleeding like a stuck pig,? and had to be hospitalized.
?Med-Care later told me that after a few stitches, she should be OK,? Theriault said, ?but it was a pretty nasty looking bite.?

Supreme Court: 'Baby Veronica' to return to adoptive parents (+video)
The Supreme Court's refusal to take up the case opens the door for Veronica, now 3, to transfer from her birth father, a member of the Cherokee nation, back to her adoptive parents.
This photo provided by Melanie Capobianco shows her adoptive daughter, Veronica, trick-or-treating, in Charleston, S.C. in 2011. The Supreme Court on Friday said it would not rehear a case involving the Capobiancos' attempts to adopt Veronica, who is of Cherokee heritage.

EnlargeThe US Supreme on Friday refused to re-engage in a heart-wrenching dispute over who should gain permanent custody of a three-year-old child known in court papers as Baby Veronica ? her biological father or the adoptive couple selected by the birth mother.

The high court?s refusal to take up the case opens the way for the girl?s transfer from her father in Oklahoma to the adoptive couple in South Carolina.
A South Carolina family court judge finalized the adoption on Wednesday and approved a proposed transition procedure designed to reduce any trauma to the child of being uprooted and sent to live with a new family.
Initially, the South Carolina courts had ruled in favor of the father in the custody dispute, citing a federal law, the Indian Child Welfare Act, that makes it difficult for non-Native Americans to adopt a child of Indian ancestry.
The biological father, Dusten Brown, is a member of the Cherokee Nation, and his lawyers argued that Veronica could not be taken from him under the Indian Child Welfare Act.
The issue went to the US Supreme Court, which ruled 5 to 4 in late June that the father could not rely on the federal law to block the adoption.
The court noted that Mr. Brown had refused to provide financial assistance to the Veronica?s mother and had signed away his parental rights. He did not show an interest in raising the child until he learned, after the fact, that the birth mother had placed Veronica for adoption.
At that point, he moved to block the adoption and care for the child himself.
After the Supreme Court ruled on June 25, the custody dispute was remanded to the South Carolina Supreme Court, which ruled in mid-July in favor of the adoptive couple.
The case is complicated by the fact that Veronica lived the first two years of her life with the adoptive couple, Matt and Melanie Capobianco of Charleston, S.C.
But then, as a result of a family court ruling, Veronica was transferred to Oklahoma to live with her father and her paternal grandparents. She has lived with them for the past year and a half.
The question raised by the father and his lawyers at the US Supreme Court was whether the South Carolina Supreme Court should have conducted an in-depth hearing to determine the child?s best interests as they exist today, given that she is now almost four years old and has lived the most recent half of her life with her father and his family.
In reaching its decision that Veronica should live with the Capobianos, the South Carolina Supreme Court said it had determined the girl?s best interests based on a review of the existing court record. That record was compiled a year and a half ago.
The US Supreme Court decision not to take up the case came in a three-sentence order. It noted that two justices, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor would have granted a stay in the case and heard the father?s arguments.
During oral argument in the case in April, Justice Ginsburg repeatedly inquired about the emotional impact on the young girl of any potential transfer of custody from the father to the adoptive couple.
Details of the transfer plan approved by the family court judge in South Carolina remain confidential.
Brown said in a statement that the transfer plan anticipated that Veronica would be ?fearful, scared, anxious, confused? and would likely cry herself to sleep for a period of time. It also anticipated that she may feel she?d been rejected by her father and grandparents.
?I will not voluntarily let my child go through that, no parent would,? Brown said in a statement quoted by the Associated Press. ?I am her father and it is my job to protect her.?
In the weeks since the Supreme Court decision, Veronica?s grandparents and members of the Cherokee Nation have filed separate lawsuits seeking to retain custody of the child in Oklahoma. It is unclear how the conflicting litigation will be resolved.
This latest motion to the US Supreme Court was called Birth Father v. Adoptive Couple (13A115).

India eases investment rules for retail sector
India relaxed sourcing and investment rules for the retail sector on Thursday in a renewed attempt to attract foreign supermarket chains such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Tesco PLC.
Foreign companies have been keen to enter India?s $500-billion (U.S.) retail market since the country allowed foreign investment in its supermarket sector in September, 2012, but ambiguity around entry rules has kept them away.

The issue remains politically controversial because of worries that millions of small shopkeepers could go out of business and India has so far not received a single application from any global retailer.
A previously announced rule that foreign chains must source 30 per cent of their products locally when they enter had been a major sticking point.
In the new announcement, the government retained the 30 per cent sourcing requirement but said it can be met over a period of five years initially and after that it has to be met on an annual basis.
It also said that global chains will only have to invest 50 per cent of an ?initial? mandatory investment of $100-million in setting up cold storages and warehouses as against the earlier policy, which said half of the entire investment by foreign chains in india had to be in building back-end infrastructure.
?The new rules have removed some major stumbling blocks and should encourage foreign retailers to enter India,? said Devangshu Dutta, who heads retail consultancy Third Eyesight.
?Although most retailers are still likely to wait for the outcome of the elections next year before they make a decision.?
National elections in India are due by May, 2014, and a change in government could result in the controversial retail reform, being reversed and any newly opened supermarkets being shut, according to industry officials.
A Wal-Mart spokeswoman said the company was studying the revisions to the foreign direct investment policy.
?We appreciate the government?s willingness to consider our requests for clarity on conditions contained in the new FDI policy,? she said in a statement.
The revised policy also allowed global retailers to procure from small businesses that have intial investment in plant and machinery not exceeding $2-million ? up from the limit of $1-million set out earlier to ensure modestly-sized Indian companies benefit from the influx of foreign firms.
These businesses can continue to remain suppliers even if they grow and cross the $2-million investment cap at a later stage, an essential requirement for global retailers who want to be sure of maintaining a stable supply chain in the country.
The government allowed Indian states that have decided to support foreign direct investment in retail to make a decision on where they would allow foreign retailers to set up shop. The earlier rule stated foreign chains can only open stores in cities with a population of more than a million.
Several Indian states oppose moves to allow foreign supermarkets and currently only 11 out of 28 Indian states have agreed to let foreign operators in.

Netflix rolls out new tool to profile viewers
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ? Netflix's latest attraction will enable families and other people sharing the same account to set up separate identities so the Internet video service can give them better recommendations on what to watch next.
The tool introduced Thursday can splinter a single Netflix account into up to five different profiles at no additional cost from the service's $8 monthly fee. The Los Gatos, Calif., company is hoping its 37.6 million worldwide subscribers will use the profiles feature and help Netflix's recommendation system distinguish between viewers who have drastically different tastes.
Until now, deciphering viewing preferences could be tricky with a shared account. Netflix couldn't tell when a 50-year-old dad was watching its Internet video service and when his 10-year-old daughter was viewing. That resulted in Netflix serving up a mishmash of suggestions that could include movies meant for mature audiences based on the father's viewing history, and kid-friendly programming drawn from the daughter's preferences.
"If the kids have been watching a lot of 'Shaun the Sheep,' that doesn't particularly help us help you find the next gritty drama to watch after they have gone to bed," said Neil Hunt, Netflix's chief product officer.
Profiles will now make it possible for several members of the same household to click on their screen name to get customized recommendations, based on what they have previously watched and seemed to enjoy in Netflix's library of movies, old TV shows and original programs. Netflix relies on viewers' own ratings of video, as well as computer-driven analyses of the genres previously watched.
The new feature initially will only be available on Netflix's own website and several other viewing outlets, including the iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Apple TV and some smart TV models. It may take up to two weeks before the profiles choice pops up in these options. Profiles should be available on the Wii console before the end of August and on Android devices before the end of the year. Netflix subscribers who use Netflix on Roku's set-top box probably won't be able to use profiles on that device until early next year.
Netflix Inc. considers its recommendation system to be one of its biggest advantages over rival Internet video services run by Amazon.com Inc., Hulu.com and Redbox. As long as Netflix keeps steering its subscribers to videos that they like, the company figures customers will be less likely to cancel the service.
Even though it has often analyzed a jumbled mix of viewers, Netflix's recommendation system apparently is hitting a sweet spot more often than not. The company says about three-fourths of the video watching on its service is driven by its recommendations.
The new profiles can also be used to link to each user's Facebook account. That connection allows Netflix members see what the other people in their online social network have been watching on Netflix, too.

FCA considers investigation of metals warehousing - sources
By Susan Thomas and Douwe Miedema
LONDON/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Britain's financial watchdog is considering an investigation of the London Metal Exchange warehouse system after U.S. regulators put banks and big traders on notice of a probe due to complaints of inflated prices, two sources said.
The move would mark a change in tack by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which has said it regulates the exchange and the futures derivatives market for commodities but not warehousing or the physical markets.
However, one of the two sources with knowledge of the matter said that as warehousing and the physical market had an important role in LME operations, the FCA would want to ensure the LME - the world's biggest marketplace for metals such as copper and aluminium - was meeting its regulatory obligations.
The LME, a venerable British institution acquired last year by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing, is a futures market that oversees a global network of warehouses where its clients should be able to take delivery of metals.
In practice industrial clients needing metal sometimes have to queue for up to a years while warehouse companies - increasingly owned by banks or trading houses - benefit from rents they charge during the wait or focus on using metal in finance deals rather than providing it to LME clients.
The queues have caused the price premium on some metals to surge, prompting accusations from manufacturing companies that banks and traders are artificially inflating prices and distorting supplies and demands for the LME to act.
In a sign of movement over the issue, Goldman Sachs Group Inc said on Wednesday it would offer customers of its Metro International metals warehouse business immediate access to aluminum held up in queues.
"In light of the concerns that end-users have raised about their access to aluminum they are holding in warehouses, Goldman Sachs is contacting end users to offer to swap any aluminum currently in the queue for immediately available aluminum so that they have access to the metal they need to make or package their products," the bank said in a statement
The first of the two sources said the FCA was in close contact with the LME and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and while it was not presently investigating anything in particular at the LME, it had not ruled out such a process.
An LME spokeswoman declined to comment on any potential investigation, but said the exchange had always worked closely with the FCA and the CFTC.
The FCA said on Monday it was working closely with the LME on the exchanges's efforts to fix its warehousing system.
The CFTC has written to firms ordering them to preserve emails, documents and instant messages from the past three years, four sources who received letters said.
WARNING SHOT
The notice amounted to a "warning shot" ahead of what is probably a formal CFTC probe, one source said. A second source said all firms with LME-registered wareshouses in all jurisdictions had received the letter.
The LME storage network extends across 36 locations and 14 countries. The LME itself does not own any of the warehouses.
If there is an investigation, it would be the first by a regulator into the lucrative and controversial industry which has become dominated since 2010 by banks also including JPMorgan Chase & Co and merchant traders like Glencore Xstrata Plc and Trafigura AG.
The European Commission spokesman for competition policy, Antoine Colombani, declined last week to comment on the CFTC's move or whether the European Union antitrust authority was cooperating with the CFTC. He was not immediately available to comment on Wednesday.
However, a source with knowledge of the matter said the Commission spoke to the LME in connection with the warehousing issue during the Glencore-Xstrata merger in November last year.
"The question is to what extent the build-up in delays at the warehouses is a competition issue. DG Comp (the directorate general of competition) talked to the LME regarding the issue during the Glencore, Xstrata merger and concluded there was no obvious way to intervene."
