Question: Catalan President Carles Puigdemont  said  he  favored mediation to find a way out of the crisis but that Spainâs central government had rejected this. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoyâs government responded by calling on Catalonia to âreturn to the path of lawâ first before any negotiations.
 Puigdemont  told the BBC  he  would ask the regionâs parliament to declare independence following the referendum  which Spainâs government and constitutional court say was illegal and in which only a minority of Catalans voted.
In a televised address on Wednesday night   Puigdemont  said: âThis moment calls for mediation. We have received various offers in the last hours and we will receive more.â
Without specifically mentioning plans for an independence declaration   he  added: âI am sure that in the next few days we will show the best of our country when the institutions of Catalonia will have to apply the results of the referendum.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoyâs government replied that  Puigdemont  had wasted an opportunity to put Catalonia back on a legal course. âIf  Mr. Puigdemont  wants to talk or negotiate  or wants to send mediators   he  knows perfectly well what  he  must do first: Return to the path of the law â it said in a statement.
 Puigdemont  criticized Spainâs King Felipe VI who on Tuesday lambasted the âirresponsible behaviorâ of the Catalan leaders.
 He  said  the king  had disappointed many people in Catalonia by failing to call for dialogue and  he  accused King Felipe of endorsing the policies of Rajoy  which  he  said had been âcatastrophicâ for Catalonia.

Question: Hewlett-Packard Co.'s quarter-century alliance with Oracle Corp. has been "strained" by the dispute over Oracle's hiring of ousted HP CEO Mark Hurd  HP's interim chief said Wednesday.
 Cathie Lesjak also said Hurd needs to be "reminded" that he signed agreements to keep HP's trade secrets and other confidential information secret. She said that's why HP is suing to stop him from working at Oracle.
 The ties between the two companies were fraying before Hurd's hiring  as Oracle is muscling in on HP's turf by starting to sell computing hardware.
 Oracle's naming of Hurd as a co-president is a thumb in HP's eye -- assuming Oracle isn't eventually blocked from letting him work. Many legal experts believe that HP's case will be hard to win  because California courts tend to side with workers and their right to take their skills to rival companies.
 Hurd abruptly resigned last month from HP after five years as CEO  in the wake of a sexual-harassment investigation that turned up inaccurate expense reports connected to his accuser. Ellison loudly came to Hurd's defense.
 HP will need an order from the California court where it filed its lawsuit to stop Hurd from working for Oracle. The first hearing in the case isn't scheduled until February  although HP is expected to seek a temporary restraining order before then.
 Hurd started his new job this week and is in charge of Oracle's global sales  consulting  marketing and technical support divisions.
 HP claims that Hurd will be dangerous to its business if he's allowed to work at Oracle  because he was privy while at HP to intimate information about customer accounts and HP's strategy for countering Oracle. HP claims that Hurd won't be able to do his job without divulging HP's secrets.
 Hurd took a severance package from HP that could top $40 million. Oracle revealed in a regulatory filing Wednesday that Hurd's new job will pay an annual salary of $950 000  and makes Hurd eligible for a target bonus of $5 million in the current fiscal year.

Answer: HP ' s interim chief says Oracle alliance ' strained '


Question: âIndian food is becoming more popular in the United States â says  chef Rakesh Ramola  who owns Philadelphiaâs Indeblue . While chicken tikka masala  saag paneer and lamb biryani may be Indian menu standards in America   Ramola  says that there are many more regional dishes found in India  and American Indian restaurants often limit themselves to the basics. Thanks to the increasing popularity of Indian food stateside  however  Indian restaurants are experimenting with fusion recipes and more contemporary dishes  which is  in turn  also becoming popular in India.
Still   Ramola  says that another American facet of Indian restaurants  all-you-can-eat buffets  are not common in India. While some may see buffets to be a good value   Ramola  strays away from them. âFood that sits in a pan over steaming water loses its integrity â he says. Plus  he believes that many restaurants reuse leftover buffet food from day to day to reduce food waste and use frozen vegetables and cheaper cuts of meat to reduce food costs. For properly prepared Indian food served at manageable portions  donât be swayed by the tempting $9.99 buffet lunch special.
For the best Indian food experience   Ramola  believes ordering several dishes to share is the best way to not only taste more menu items  but create a warm  fun dining experience. âTraditionally  Indians eat family style " he says. "Mealtime is the time when you are with family and friends sharing food and conversation." The starch served on the side of main dishes also varies by region. âIn Northern India you will see people eating roti or paratha with curry  while in Southern India  eating rice with curry is more common.â At his restaurant   Ramola  sees most customers eating both rice and bread with their meals. Thanks  America.
One Indian- and American-approved addition to an Indian meal? Adding a âniceâ IPA to all that spice is Ramolaâs favorite way to chase down Indian food.
