A defiant President Dilma Rousseff shot back at her detractors on Friday, saying she will not be cowered by the jeers and insults she endured at the World Cup's opening match.

Visibly angered by the rude welcome, the Brazilian leader said the "verbal aggression" was nothing compared with the physical abuse she withstood four decades ago when she was tortured at the hands of the military dictatorship that ruled Brazil at the time.

Many of the 62,100 soccer fans packed into the Corinthians arena in Sao Paulo to watch Brazil play Croatia on Thursday booed loudly and chanted profanities at Rousseff, whose popularity is falling four months ahead of a re-election bid.

"Insults will not intimidate me. I will not be cowered," Rousseff said in a speech to inaugurate the opening of a rapid transit bus system in Brasilia.

"This will not weaken me," Rousseff said, as supporters of her Workers' Party chanted calls for a second term for the leftist leader.

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Oct. 28, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Halloween isn't just a fun night for trick-or-treaters anymore. More often than not, adults join in on celebrating the spooky holiday with their own festivities where alcohol is often served. If you plan on drinking this Halloween, the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) wants you to keep in mind that one of the best choices you can make is to drive sober or designate a sober driver to get you home safely, so that the night ends on a good note for everyone involved.
"In addition to being illegal, driving while impaired also carries serious, irrevocable consequences," said OTS Director Rhonda Craft. "Not only are you risking the implications and costs of a DUI, but also the potential of seriously injuring or killing yourself or other innocent people, especially young trick-or-treaters. Take a few extra minutes to plan a safe night by designating a sober driver."
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, driving under the influence is more prevalent on Halloween compared with the rest of the year. In 2012 alone, almost half (48 percent) of all motor vehicle traffic fatalities on Halloween night involved a drunk driver. Unfortunately, each one of those preventable deaths occurred when drunk drivers failed to plan ahead.
"The California Highway Patrol (CHP) joins all law enforcement in encouraging you to enjoy the Halloween festivities, we just want you to enjoy them responsibly," said CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow. "If you plan to drink and drive, then make the responsible choice and designate a sober driver."
Whether walking door to door or heading to a party, parents and children need to take safety precautions as well. If walking, make sure everyone in your group is more visible by using light producing or reflective devices; you can see cars much better than they can see you. Cross only at crosswalks or corners and do so only when safe. Keep costumes short enough so you don't trip. If wearing a mask, lift or remove it while on or crossing a street.

Difference Capital Announces Follow-on Competitive Gaming Investment in Virgin Gaming

Skyworks Solutions Inc, a supplier of radio frequency chips to companies such as Apple Inc, estimated fourth-quarter adjusted profit and revenue above its forecast, sending its shares up as much as 12.5 percent.

Skyworks, whose chips connect smartphones and tablets to a telecom network, has been benefiting from higher demand from handset makers, particularly Apple.

Apple sold 10 million of its latest iPhones in the first weekend after its new, larger phone models went on sale in 10 countries on Sept. 19. The new devices will be available in more than 115 countries by the end of the year.

"You have got a combination of good units and apparently good sell-through for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus and ... you also have a content increase story there," Oppenheimer & Co analyst Rick Schafer told Reuters.

The market for RF chips is expanding as telecom operators upgrade to 4G networks from 3G. 4G-equipped smartphones require more RF chips than 3G-equipped ones.

The Fed should fight low inflation as vigorously as it would a too rapid run-up in prices or risk the same sort of prolonged slow growth plaguing Japan and Europe, Boston Federal Reserve bank president Eric Rosengren said on Monday.

Rosengren, in remarks at Washington and Lee University devoted to the potential costs of inflation that remains stuck below the Fed's two percent target, said the Fed's own credibility was at stake. Failure to get inflation to target, he said, raised the risk that investors and consumers would slip into deflationary thinking, changing their spending and investment patterns in ways that would further undermine growth.

"Japan’s experience and now Europe’s current situation both indicate that indifference to very low inflation rates can generate a significant loss of confidence in the ability of a central bank to hit its inflation goal," Rosengren said, noting that low bond yields globally indicate investors have "little expectation" the Fed and other major central banks will be successful in lifting prices.

He repeated his call for the Fed to remain patient in raising rates until it is more certain that inflation will rise to the Fed's target. As it stands, he said, a collection of global and domestic forces are conspiring against that - from the fall in commodity prices to slow growth among U.S. trading partners and the absence, so far, of broadbased wage increases in the United States.

"The Federal Reserve must respond as vigorously to inflation that is too low as we have, historically, when inflation has been too high," he said.
