Jewel in Colonial Crown
The Dutch penchant for Indonesian food is very much a legacy of its colonial past. Indonesia, with its wealth of spices, was once considered the jewel in the Netherlands' colonial crown. The Dutch not only embraced Indonesian food in the colonies, but they brought it back home with them, too. When Indonesia gained independence after the Second World War, many Indo-Dutch families - often the result of intermarriage between Dutch colonists and local women - settled in the Netherlands. Today, some 2.4% of the Dutch population is of Indonesian descent.
Fusion Cuisine
Indo-Dutch food is actually a fusion cuisine, with elements from both the Indonesian and Dutch kitchens. So, for example, the famous rijsttafel (which literally means 'rice table'; a spread of dozens of Indonesian specialties from different regions) was created by the colonial Dutch to mark special events. Many of today's beloved Indo-Dutch recipes changed and evolved through the years because the original Indonesian ingredients simply weren't available in the Netherlands at the time. Naturally, new recipes were also created using typically Dutch ingredients with an Indonesian touch.
Indonesian food remains Holland's favorite adopted cuisine and dishes such as nasi goreng, bami and satay have been completely absorbed into the national kitchen. Dutch families still celebrate special occasions by going out to an Indonesian restaurant for rijsttafel, while snacks such as the bamischijf (deep fried noodles in a bread crumb crust) and patat sate (Dutch fries with satay sauce) are excellent examples of Indo-Dutch fusion. Considering the cuisine's enduring popularity in the Netherlands, it's only natural that I've long been seeking the Indonesian cookbook to set both my palate and my heart on fire. With Boekoe Kita, I think I've found it.
Indonesian Recipes & Stories from Hearth & Home
So, for example, Bianca, the daughter of a Dutch mother and Indonesian father prefers recipes that taste pure and full of flavor but are easy to prepare, like her spicy version of traditional Dutch brown bean soup. Meanwhile, Han loves nothing better than peanut butter and sambal sandwiches and Linda slips inspirational messages into Christmas ball ornaments instead of placing "fortunes" into fortune cookies.
Key Ingredients
Each section focuses on recipes using a key ingredient from the Indonesian kitchen. There are lemongrass recipes, dishes with ketjap (Indonesian soy sauce), and sections for recipes that use coconut, rice, garlic, tofu, goela djawa and other ingredients. Many recipes require ingredients that can only be found in Asian supermarkets (some substitutes are listed in the introductory pages), but there are also a number of recipes that can be made using everyday ingredients. Conveniently, separate recipe indexes list both the Dutch and Indonesian names of dishes.
Design & Photography
You can tell that this beautifully made cookbook was a labor of love for its creators. It features mouthwatering, beautifully styled photographs that truly make you want to run to the kitchen to cook. There are photos for most of the recipes in the book (joy of joys!), while colorful illustrations and graphics add visual interest and bring the subject matter to life.

Putting World into World Series
By Ken Belson
January 9, 2010
For decades, the Japanese have been clamoring for a real world series that pits the best team in Major League Baseball against the best team in Japan.
That day might be closer. At a meeting in Milwaukee on Tuesday, Bud Selig, the M.L.B. commissioner, told his Japanese counterpart, Ryozo Kato, he was open to the idea of teams from both countries playing before he retires in 2012.
Kato, the commissioner of Nippon Professional Baseball, told Japanese reporters after returning to Japan that he was surprised and encouraged by Seligs response.
A showdown faces many hurdles, including significant questions about who will pay for it, where the games will be held and whether the leagues collective bargaining agreement can be reworked to allow for it.

Phillies' Eyre retires after 13 seasons in Majors
By Todd Zolecki
January 7, 2010
PHILADELPHIA, Pa Scott Eyre already has his summer plans.
He is loading the family into an RV and heading West.
"We're just going to drive through Utah, Oregon, Yosemite, Idaho," Eyre said. "We don't have anything planned. It's my wife, my two kids and four dogs in an RV."
Eyre, 37, will not be playing baseball this summer. He said in a telephone interview Thursday with MLB.com that he is retiring after 13 seasons in the Majors. He finished his career 28-30 with a 4.23 ERA in 617 appearances with the Chicago White Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, San Francisco Giants, Chicago Cubs and Phillies.
Eyre helped the Phillies win the 2008 World Series and the National League championship in '09. He also helped the Giants win the '02 NL pennant.
Eyre had said after Game 6 of the 2009 World Series against the New York Yankees that he would play for the Phillies in '10 or retire. He had minor elbow surgery following the season, which indicated that he wanted to play.
Eyre asked for the same $2 million contract he had in 2009, but the Phillies offered a Minor League deal. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said Tuesday that they probably had finished negotiations with Eyre, but Eyre said Thursday that even if the club had offered a Major League contract he likely would have retired.
"I had most of this retirement thing planned out," Eyre said. "I think even if he would have offered me a better contract I still don't think I would have taken it. My family took a trip to Disney before Christmas. We stayed in the RV. We didn't even go to the amusement parks. We fished. We hung out. It was fun. The more time I spent with the kids at home the more I realized I wanted to hang out. I've played long enough.
"I go out playing in back-to-back World Series. I won one of them. I lost two of them. I've been to three, so it's not like I didn't accomplish anything in my career. I pitched in a whole bunch of games and had a lot of fun doing it."
Eyre went 2-1 with a 1.50 ERA in 42 appearances last season with Philadelphia. He joined the Phillies in August 2008 after a trade with the Chicago Cubs. He went 3-0 with a 1.88 ERA in 19 appearances down the stretch. Because of his performance with the Phillies the past two seasons, Eyre acknowledged that it hurt a bit not to receive a Major League offer, but he also said he understood why he did not.
"I do understand Ruben's point of view," he said. "I'll be 38 in May. I've pitched in a lot of games. I've had elbow issues. I had the surgery to get it fixed, but nobody really knows if it's going to work or not. I can't guarantee it's going to feel great when I'm snapping off sliders. So I really do understand why he held back. He's trying to protect the organization in case I get hurt. It made the decision a little easier, but I don't think it would have swayed it."
Of course, Eyre said it will be strange to be at home in Sarasota, Fla., when Spring Training starts next month.
"Every day I think about what I'm going to miss," he said. "I'm going to miss going to the clubhouse. Being with the Phillies, I'm going to miss seeing Chad Durbin sitting at his locker doing the crossword puzzle. I'm going to miss watching Brad [Lidge] read his biblical books in his locker after batting practice, eating the biggest sandwich I've ever seen anybody eat. I've talked to guys about it. I talked to [Jon] Lieber about it.
Basically, you miss the camaraderie with the guys. And the Phillies' clubhouse is great. That's one of the reasons why Cliff [Lee] didn't want to leave. It's one of the best clubhouses you could be in. I don't care what anybody says about theirs. I've been in a few of them. This is one of the best. I never once said, 'I don't want to go to the field today.'"
Eyre, who said he could see himself broadcasting in the future, joked that he will have to bum a few tickets off Amaro this summer.
That shouldn't be a problem.
"I hope not," Eyre said. "I'd like to be part of the Phillies franchise in some way, some day. But for this summer, I'm just going to hang out.

Video Interview with Kernel Developer Peter Anvin
Bootloader Syslinux developer Peter Anvin, since 1992 kernel developer, gives an insight into his work.
Born in Sweden, Anvin now lives in California and works at the Intel Open Source Technology Center. In the video, he tells of how Intel let him "get on with his Linux thing" while at the same time seek his advice in Linux matters, which he enjoys. He also explains why programming Bootloader is so exciting and of course, the first things he actually did to the Linux kernel in 1992. The video was shot in the hotel he was staying at during the Fosdem.

Jim Rose, manager of systems administration with the State of Indiana's Office of Technology, recently installed PureDisk at branch state offices as part of a mandate by Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels to centralize certain IT functions. At each of the 80 offices he manages, Rose installed a Microsoft Windows server with PureDisk software, as well as PureDisk agents on each of the servers targeted for backup. Rose found the backup of the initial server took between 24 hours to 36 hours, while the second backup took about half that time; by the second or third day, backup windows across all of these servers were almost back to normal, he says.
"Symantec PureDisk backed up new servers without any discernable performance hit," says Rose. "[But] servers older than three years took longer to complete the initial scan."
Michael Fair, network administrator, information technology division at St. Peter's Health Care Services in Albany, NY, finds that the performance and management overhead associated with EMC's Avamar is almost nothing vs. what he encountered when backing up his servers with CA BrightStor and Symantec Backup Exec. "I eliminated domain controllers in eight sites and can now run backups during the day if the need arises with no discernible impact to server applications," says Fair.
Introducing PureDisk allowed the State of Indiana's Rose to back up 300 servers across 80 sites in six hours, and he now has a demonstrable, working recovery
Inline disk libraries
Disk libraries perform deduplication in two general ways: inline and postprocessing. With inline processing, the disk library processes backup streams and deduplicates the data as it enters the disk library. Inline disk libraries use three general deduplication methods to minimize the performance impact: hash-based, inline compare and grid architecture.
Data Domain's DDX disk library uses a hash-based technique. DDX takes an 8KB slice of the incoming backup data and computes a hash or fingerprint value. If the fingerprint value is unique, it deduplicates and stores the data. The main issues with this approach are the performance requirements to compute the hash and keeping the hash index in memory; as the hash index grows, it spills over from memory onto disk. To mitigate the performance overhead associated with retrieving the index from the disk, Data Domain developed a technique called stream-informed segment layout (SISL) that minimizes seeks to disk so the performance is CPU-centric; the faster the disk library CPU, the better the performance.

The Valdosta City Council holds its annual retreat this weekend at the Lenox River Ranch to discuss last year and make plans for the current year.
The retreat is being held two months earlier than usual because there are items the councilmen want to address at the beginning of the legislative session rather than the end.
The council's agenda includes discussions on SPLOST and LOST, Georgia Department of Transportation projects, and local issues that each council members requested be considered at the retreat. From this meeting, the council will create goals to accomplish during the next year.
The retreat in 2013 came in the thick of the sewage issues, and most of the discussion then centered on fixing the many problems with the plant and the system.
At this point, most of those plans are in progress or will be soon, so the council has more leeway this time to discuss other issues of importance to the city.
Newly elected and sworn-in Councilwoman Sandra Tooley has requested that officials look again at televising their meetings and the issue of public transportation.
Other issues of concern include entraceways to the city, a review of the panhandling ordinance, sidewalk and resurfacing projects, alternate truck routes, and compensation procedures for the mayor and council.
Perhaps to add some levity to the meeting, although proposed seriously, is a potential ban on saggy pants and a look at other city's indecency laws, although enforcement is probably the bigger issue in this discussion.
The city manager will address Valdosta's financial resources versus expectations of officials and citizens. With at least $93 million already owed to the Georgia Environmental Management Association, even with a payment plan from SPLOST proceeds, this is perhaps not the best time for the council to engage in any large expenditures.
Council, mayor and manager stewardship of public funds and taxes is a burden not to be taken lightly, and with good decisions for the future, those dollars can be spent wisely and ensure the future health of the community.

Pretty much stayed the same through out my youth. Saw him a little more as I got older. When my first marriage ended I wound up moving in with him. And that is when I spent the most time ever with him. We went out partying 3 times a week for several years. He had a pretty wild life style. But I enjoyed being around him. I guess it was making up for lost time. My current wife loved him a lot too. Even though he always took me out drinking, she knew it was ok because I was with my dad. Those few years we spent together were the best of my relationship with him.
His business eventually failed and he decided to move to California with his girlfriend. I guess out there he felt a little emasculated since he had to depend on her for everything. She was really wealthy. And got a really important job there. But he apparently didn't let her put him on her insurance. Because he wasn't getting his blood pressure medicine. He had an anuerism and died. That was in 1995.
I do wish he had been able to stay around and watch my daughter grow up. He was very proud to be a grand father. And would love the way she has turned out.
Now for my fathers day. Every year it falls on the day we have to get all the 4 H horses to the county fair. This year I have to transport 22 horses to the fair on Fathers day. So no relaxation for me. Not only do I have to take care of my own daughter. I have to take care of all these other kids that day. So I guess I am lucky in a way to be able to make so many kids happy on fathers day. But I sort of would like to sleep in a little for once.
Happy fathers day.
Happy father's day to all the dads out there--Especially the ones worthy of the name.
Another happy memory was when I got married. It was only a ceremony with close family at the town hall. I can still picture my father's face when I asked him to be my witness ...
Now that I've started thinking about this I could probably go on for hours
Happy Father's Day, Dad.
I don't really have any Hallmark-esque memories of my pops either. Although I do have some fun memories. Most are far from Hallmark-esque.
Most of mine involve going to the Go-Go bars with him. Not really wholesome places. One of my favorite is from when we went to Cleveland from Columbus for my birthday. We always called him the Godfather of the Go-Go bars. At the regular places we went to, when he would walk in the door all the dancers would call out his name. Well we walked into this big fancy club in Cleveland and instantly the dancer on the main stage screamed his name.
We were all amazed. Seemed that he was well known every where.
I did make a conscious effort to make sure I was a better father than my own had been. And I know I have been. While my father was basically a good man. He had his flaws and was self centered. I on the other hand went to extreme measures to spend the time with and parent my daughter the way I wish I had been when I was a child.
If your father is still alive, perhaps you can still try to make a great memory to have. Even though he didn't do anything to try and make special moments for you, maybe you can make a special one for him that you can have for fathers days in the future. Not sure if you feel he is worth the effort. But you can do it for yourself more so than him.
Best wishes.
My stepfather stepped up and took his place. I have so many memories of him. My favorite memory is my 15th birthday. We didn't have alot of money but he made it special. My mom and I came home from school to find he made a huge sign at the end of the driving wishing me a happy birthday. He traded one of his prized hunting dogs and got me a Bassett Hound and some kind of homemade clown doll (not sure why the doll). He also made me a birthday cake.
Sadly, he passed away a few months later. I will never forget how much he loved my brother and me and took us in as his own children.
My best memory, is actually when I had my first daughter. I was only 16yrs old, and I thought my dad hated me for having a baby, he never really interacted with me, when it came to my pregnancy or expressed joy or anything (WHICH BY THE WAY I UNDERSTAND, HECK I WAS 16YRS OLD)....but anyways....I had her and my dad didnt even so much as call or go to the hospital to visit me. I thought the worst, and it broke my entire heart. I came home with my mom, and when I walked into my room...my dad had spent the entire 30dys I was in the hospital fixing up my room. He is a perfectionist, so it was painted, Tv hanging, entertainment center, baby crib up,changing table....new comforter set.....Just totally redone. It was a baby pink color with an accent wall. I LOVED IT and was totally surprised. Jus thinking about it now , I can cry. I couldnt even talk, just handed the baby to my mom and when I turned around he was standing behind me with tears in his own eyes.(never seen him cry before). He told me he loved me and wasnt upset with me whatsoever, was just hard for him, cause I was his baby, having a baby. He was proud of me for what I had been thru.
I will always cherish that memory in full.....each time I think about it, its like im right back there......wow..crying now........
Some memories:
1. Sleeping with him until my mom got home from work (she worked nights) and him calling me a wiggle worm when I wouldn't lay still.
2. Him taking me and my younger brother fishing. He would back his truck up to the lake and we'd fish off the back of his truck.
We've gotten closer as I've gotten older. He loves his grandkids and they love him. He's patient with them and loves playing with them.
It's goofy, but it made me feel like a man that he would tell me a joke like that.
My Dad is in very poor health now and probably not long for this world. We have always gotten along well but not had what I describe as a close relationship, which is something I'm starting to regret not have worked harder to achieve.
I love him for my childhood, granted he was far from perfect, not a real good husband, but as a dad he was awesome!
He took me and my younger brother to the drive-inn. He fell asleep and didn't remember us asking if we could go to the playground during intermission. He woke up and didn't know where we were.
In my early 20's we found out Dad had been cheating on my mom for about 5 years. That killed any last bit of respect I had for him. I didn't speak to him for I think 4 years after that.
Slowly I got back into contact with him. I talked to him on the phone for the first time when I gave birth to my son. It was just something I needed to do. We have something of a relationship now, but we are across the country from each other, so can't see each other. But he's trying to reconnect. It's still awkward to talk to him, but I still love him.
I almost forgot father's day was coming up...thanks for the reminder. My days sure run together.
I do have one more story I would like to share. My wife and I were taking my mom out to dinner for her birthday. My cousin who I don't even think was legal drinking age went along too. So we took her to my favorite steakhouse and had a really nice dinner. The restaurant is just down the road from were one of dads favorite Go Go bars was at the time. So jokingly as we headed that way I said "I wonder if dad is at the Diamond Lounge". It was actually later in the evening and he usually would have been home by that time. But as we drove by I saw his Cadillac sitting out front.
I said "Hey, he is there. We should stop and have a drink with him." Now he and mom had been divorced probably for more than 30 years at that point. They would speak on occasion but usually just when it was at an event involving me. Well everyone agreed we should stop, so we did.
Imagine the scene. Pulling into a kind of shady Go Go bar and your Mom, your wife, and your underage female cousin getting out of the car and walking into this dimly lit bar. With loud music playing a girls in barely any clothes dancing around. Better yet imagine the look on your dads face when he realizes who the hell just walked into the place. His ex-wife, his son and daughter in-law and some young kid.
It was the funniest thing I have ever seen. Dad about fell off his stool. But what was great about it was that he got really excited about us being there. He thought I was soooo funny for bringing them in to see him there. He wound up buying my mom a bunch of birthday shots, and drinks and champagne for my cousin. We stayed about an hour and drank with him. It all just happened by chance but it was a pretty unique and special moment. My mom had a real good time, he made her feel special and he felt good that we all stopped in to see him.
It is something that my mom will still talk about today. She thought it was a fun night. She doesn't really like good food, so she wasn't impressed with the dinner. But she had fun at the Go Go bar.

Who is behind Myows?
Myows is a partnership between a leading brand strategist, a gifted programmer, an ambitious web designer and a progressive IP attorney who were all fed up with content theft and believed that in the digital age there had to be a better way to register one's copyright.
Chris Human
Chris is officially in charge of the finances and the branding side of the Myows project.
As a result he gets to use the left and right and side of his brain equally and is therefore a well balanced person (if not a little overwhelming at times).
He is dedicated, passionate and a dangerously obsessive compulsive (Someone has to be – this is, after all, a paralegal security application)
His day job is "strategic brandcrafter" at a Cape Town based brand-building firm called Engage.
Dave O'Reilly
Dave is a programming genius.
His command of a vast array of programming languages means, disturbingly, that he dreams in code, which more beneficially means he can make just about any technology talk kindly to itself and to others.
His attitude to technology is both deconstructive and disruptive which belies his quiet appearances; however his digital strategies and solutions are the envy of the rest of us mere mortals with IQs of less than 150.
Dave lives in Singapore and is also a partner at Break Design.
Max Guedy
Max is a fearless web designer on a Quest for Simplicity.

Students plunge their hands into the world of handmade pasta in Making Handmade Pasta: Easy as 1, 2, 3, which runs through the art and science of noodle and sauce. In classes of up to 15 people, pupils knead, roll, and slice pasta dough to infuse homemade Italian entrees with a personal touch.

Boy-band juggernaut and Nickelodeon sensation Big Time Rush shines like the sun's sons as its hotly anticipated Big Time Summer Tour enraptures flocks of fans with pop bliss. The fab foursome, known as BTR to fans and preteen stenographers, first snatched the hearts of millions with its eponymous TV show, which is the most-watched live-action series in Nickelodeon's history. On the group's choreographed carnival of a tour, expert hoofer and crooner Kendall Schmidt leads the affable cast of personalities, which includes James (the ladies' man), Carlos (the joker), and Logan (the smarty warty), through hits from its gold debut, BTR. Chart-topping sophomore album, Elevate, also sees its anthemic tunes represented, such as "Music Sounds Better With U" and "All Over Again." Expect elastic dance moves from the dapper quadratic and possible numbers from the just-released Big Time Movie, in which BTR covers tunes by obscure boy band The Beatles. Australian wunderkind Cody Simpson starts the show with peppy rallies and aural morality plays about how love can be tough and why stealing your dad's head to sneak into R-rated movies isn't cool.
The Great Urban Race is a one-day event pitting teams of two against one another in a race combining physical challenges, scavenger hunts, and puzzles. Up to 700 twosomes will traverse 4 to 8 miles of Toronto terrain on foot and by public transportation as they solve 12 challenging clues in a fun quest to reach the finish line first. Sample clues and challenges from past Great Urban Races include charades, bubble-gum chewing, pig Latin deciphering, bicycle races, and word scrambles, making this race ideal for competitive eaters and cryptographers alike. Teams are encouraged to dress up in matching outfits, and prizes will be awarded for best costume. Prizes are also given for race results, with $300 going to first place, $200 to second place, and $100 to third place. The top 25 teams will qualify for the National Championship in New Orleans in November, with the top three teams receiving free entry. Each participant gets a T-shirt and postrace refreshments of fruit, granola bars, and a run through a Perrier sprinkler. Read over the rules and FAQs for more information.

The Good
The first thing about the iPhone 4 that struck me was the heft of the unit. The new model weighs just two grams more (137 grams) when compared to the previous generation iPhone 3GS (135 grams) but the new iPhone has a more solid feel. With a flat glass front and back and a stainless steel band circling the outside of the phone—the iPhone 4′s assorted antennas—there is a satisfying denseness to it.
The display is where the iPhone 4 really stands out. The 'retina' display is truly beautiful. With a resolution of 960×640 pixels in a display measuring 3.5 inches diagonally the iPhone 4 display comes in at 326 ppi. (For a great technical and physiological discussion of whether the iPhone 4 is truly a 'retina' display go here) Text on the iPhone is incredibly crisp and uncluttered.
The page scrolling is smooth and the phone is very responsive. The updated iPhone operating system—renamed iOS 4—has been updated with new features that really leverage the new hardware.
FaceTime is a new feature that allows you to have a two-way video call with another person using the new forward-facing camera. The caveat being that the other person also has to have an iPhone 4 and that you both have to be on a WiFi network. I've yet to try this feature as I hate talking on the regular non-video phone and I have no friends.
The iPhone 4 also will record video at 720p HD using either the front or rear-facing 5-megapixel camera. Apple offers a mobile iMovie app ($4.99) giving you the ability to edit your video on the phone. You can make cuts, add clips, add transitions and even add your own soundtrack from your iPhone's music library. You still have the ability to export your clips and edit them on a PC or Mac so the iMovie app is not a necessity.
Bowing to pressure from customers and industry pundits Apple has finally added multitasking to the iOS. Honestly, this is one of those features that, as an owner of every generation of iPhone, I wonder how I lived without. Pressing the home button twice brings up a taskbar-like tray of running apps, allowing you to scroll through a list of running apps and gives you the ability switch to or kill another app. It's really handy to be able to switch from Angry Birds to YouTube for hint videos without having to start either app from scratch.
The Bad
Apple touted the move of the iPhone's antennas to the outside of the phone case as a bold move, intended to improve reception, a welcome thought for many users suffering under the anemic AT&T network. This move of the antenna however, has highlighted a problem plaguing some users. Holding the phone as you normally would, with the left hand covering a significant portion of the antenna, can cause the phone's signal to degrade, even to the point of dropping calls. I have yet to see this on my iPhone, regardless of how I hold it. Your mileage on this may vary and is easily remedied with the use of a case to isolate the phone from your evil, signal-killing hands.
I drank the Apple kool-aid long ago so I feel pretty biased. I love this phone, as I loved its brothers before it. My advice, if you're looking for a smart phone, is to find someone with every model of phone you're thinking of buying and evaluate them yourself. And then just go buy the iPhone.
It really is a great drunk dial/tweet/Facebook your friends at 4 A.M. smart phone.
The result of a failed 1972 East-German experiment in eugenics, Ryan Shaw dreamed of a career as a professional skate-boarder. Unfortunately, on Easter Sunday of 1988 in downtown SLC those dreams were torn asunder, much like the ligaments in his ankle. He now does programming for Rio Tinto, makes fun of people, and sometimes cries at television shows. You probably should NOT follow him on Twitter.

NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Saints entered their game with Houston worried about the Oilers' rookie running back, Eddie George. They should have worried about Chris Chandler.
Chandler, who sat out last week's game and part of the previous one because of an injury, threw for three touchdowns in the Oilers' 31-14 victory over the Saints Sunday.

Strikes Different Chords
The 26th Tax Free World Exhibition took place from October 18-22 in Cannes. Overall the total number of visitors was up 8% over last year's show – 5,398 people from 2,570 companies attended the show, which featured 457 exhibiting companies.
After an initial buzz about double-digit increases in certain markets, it became evidently clear that business chatter gave way to talk about the strikes in France.
L'Oréal's Jean-Paul Agon's keynote address focused on the positive sales numbers being achieved around the globe, which was followed by a spirited speech by Martin Lindstrom on the genetics of the subliminal purchasing power of brands.
The relentless Sunday storm had given way to extraordinarily good weather and the positive momentum started its turn. However, within a twenty-four period the corridors while still busy with activity, had taken on a more solemn air as business talk had given way to strike talk. Information was hard to come by as word spread that roads were being blockaded to air traffic controllers who were also honoring picket lines. It then became painfully clear that some buyers from both the Asia and South American countries had decided to forego their journeys for fear of being stuck again not unlike the situation three years ago.
Ironically the strikes hurt all of the companies but most of all the smaller ones looking to write international orders as well as the small businesses in Cannes that rely on the show for a substantial share of their income.
Here are some photos that were taken during the show.

The Academic Program
The Academic Calendar
The academic year at New College consists of two fourteen-week semesters and a four-week January Interterm devoted to independent study. Each semester is divided into two seven-week modules, with a one-week recess between them and a one-week exam/evaluation period at the end of the term. Faculty offer both semester-long and seven-week-long courses, with professors choosing the format best suited to the subject matter.
Click here for the current academic calendar.
The College does not schedule classes on official state holidays that fall during the fall or spring semesters or during ISP period. These days include Martin Luther King Jr. Day (3rd Monday in January), Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and the day after Thanksgiving.
The College recognizes that in exceptional circumstances it may be appropriate for a faculty member to hold classes on an official holiday in order to fulfill the education purpose of the course. However, examinations or other testing should not be given in a class scheduled on a holiday.
Baccalaureate Examination/Reading Days
Five days during the spring semester are reserved for faculty and students to engage in baccalaureate exams and reading: the first three days of the twelfth week of classes for baccalaureate exams, and the last two days of the fourteenth week of classes for readings. On these days classes will not be held. These days are not to be considered holidays, but opportunities to attend baccalaureate exams, which are public events, and days to complete class projects and prepare for final exams.
General Education Requirements at New College
New College also values the acquisition of a depth of knowledge in an Area of Concentration (AOC) that supports the development of a senior thesis project by each student. The Area of Concentration at New College may take one of several forms. It may be divisional (Humanities, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences); disciplinary (e.g. art history, physics, sociology); joint -disciplinary (e.g. music/anthropology), or a special program or topic of the student's design (e.g. environmental science, Latin American studies). Each division's and discipline's requirements for the AOC address content, critical thinking and communication skills. The "Thesis Prospectus" describes plans for the senior thesis, and outlines the courses, tutorials, and other educational activities that the student and thesis sponsor have agreed will provide the requisite quantitative and communication skills as well as depth of knowledge in the chosen area. The senior thesis project and oral baccalaureate exam serve as the evidence as to whether or not a student has acquired proficiency in writing and oral communication, as well as critical thinking, and whether the student may be capable of making an original contribution to his or her area of interest and expertise.
New College Academic Divisions
The academic disciplines at New College are grouped into three Divisions; interdisciplinary areas draw upon the faculty from the various disciplines (across Divisions) as appropriate.

Did Eric Church's Latest Teaser Video Go Too Far?
A day after his latest teaser video for "The Outsiders" was taken down, Church released a new clip that asks fans to "focus on the clues and stay on course." Which appears to mean, forget about that Taylor Swift business.

More help over credit disputes
Buyers are to get more rights to complain about finance arranged in car showrooms – but will have to wait more than 18 months for the measures to be introduced.
Buyers are to get more rights to complain about finance arranged in car showrooms – but will have to wait more than 18 months for the measures to be introduced.
Consumers who are unhappy with credit arranged through a bank or building society can already complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service, in a bid to resolve disputes without having to go to court.
This Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service provided by the Ombudsman will be extended to cover all other credit agreements such as those arranged by car dealers.
However, the Department for Trade and Industry said the expanded complaints procedure would not be up and running until April 2006.
What Car?'s editor, David Motton, said: 'Currently, if you're unhappy with finance arranged at a car showroom, you may have to go to court.
'These new measures are very welcome, but it's a shame that buyers will have to wait so long for a quicker, simpler and cheaper way of resolving disputes.'
Although the ADR will cover agreements arranged before April 2006, it will only do so if disputes arose after that date.
To find out how to use the Ombudsman's ADR service for credit arranged through a bank or building society log on to www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk.
For help with a dispute about finance arranged through a car dealer, contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau or Trading Standards Office. Visit www.citizensadvice.org.uk or www.tradingstandards.gov.uk for more information.

Dorothy Pomerantz, Forbes Staff
I write about Hollywood and run the Celebrity 100 List.
Page 2 of 2
DiCaprio is now taking a page from Brad Pitt's playbook with a showy, low-paid role in Quentin Tarantino's upcoming film Django Unchained. If the movie is a big hit, DiCaprio will earn a bunch off of the movie's profits.
Sandler, at the other extreme, delights in making movies that critics find painfully dumb but that a certain audience loves. Take Jack and Jill : The 2011 film earned terrible reviews and 10 Razzie awards for how bad it was.
But it didn't flop at the box office. The film earned $150 million on a budget of $80 million. That's not enough for Sony to earn back the movie's production budget from box office receipts, but include DVD money and TV sales, and the studio could break even on it.
To determine who the highest-paid actors in Hollywood are, we considered upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work. We talked to manager, agents, lawyers and other in-the-know folks to come up with our estimates. We did not deduct for things like agent fees or the expenses related to being a celebrity.
Mark Wahlberg failed to make out Celebrity 100 list due to a lack of press and social media buzz, but he does rank as one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood. We estimate he earned $27 million between May 2011 and May 2012.
Expect the star to make our list next year though. Wahlberg has been on fire recently. His January action film, Contraband, earned a healthy $100 million on a budget of $25 million. Now he's shown that an R rating isn't the kiss of death. The comedy Ted, topped the box office this weekend with $54 million, making it the eighth-best opening for an R movie of all time. Expect Wahlberg to see a big jump in his payday and for the press to start demanding more of the star.

Super Hero !!
There are many fans of Tom Cruise in Nepal but in my view he is a actor nothing else. If i can get an opportunities I'm sure i can do it. Some people say he is Real Hero and sometimes people worship of him. At the end he is nothing just a matter of time. All he gain is Money and fame but besides of it he lose his agony and pride which is can get form his life partner.
I don't have more money then him but I have pride, joy and I'm always free. So, i can do everything if i want wherever i go. But he can't he sold him to many director or movie maker companies. He is a different type of actor but not hero. There are many other heroes who can left him back anytime.
So, Be careful before u tell something !! Yes it is :)
This is wrong to have Tom here as is false.Robert Downey Jr. has earned well over $100 million US for his role in Avengers. So can this addressed with correct person on top please.

fans of movies allow this overl rich man to continue to earn 75m in ONE YEAR! it's not fair! while the rest of us struggle for retirement, this movie star keeps raking in the millions. WE need to not allow this kind of bucks to paid to actors–we as patrons of fillms need to do a strike (reverse strike)

DC pension savers face 80% retirement income shortfall
by Alex Steger on Nov 30, 2012 at 08:32
Defined contribution (DC) pension savers face a shortfall of around 80%, or an average of £20,200, between their expected and actual retirement income, a study has shown.
Research by the Institute of Fiscal Studies and the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF) showed the majority of consumers were underprepared for retirement, underestimating their longevity and overoptimistic about the size of their DC pension pots.
The study showed those approaching retirement (aged 50 to 64) with a DC pension were too optimistic about their retirement income. On average their DC pension pot would have to grow by 77%, or £20,200, to reach their expected income.
Of those aged 50 to 64, one in four would need to save more than £60,000 before retirement to attain the income they expect. And six out of ten (59%) have never thought about how many years of retirement they might need to finance.
A third (32%) of those aged 52 to 64 could not offer even a rough estimate of what their private pension income in retirement might be.
Women in their 50s were underestimating their life expectancy by around four years, predicting 84 instead of 88, while men were doing so by around two years (stating 83 instead of 85), when compared to national projections of life expectancy.
NAPF chief executive Joanne Segars (pictured) said: 'Millions of people are within a decade of their state pension but have still not thought about how long their retirement might last. It's worrying that so many over-50s are sleepwalking into their old age and are expecting to be better off than they will be. It does not help that the annuity market has become so tough.
'The average saver with a defined contribution pension is being over-optimistic. They need to see their pension pot grow by almost 80% to meet their expectations. That is a huge ask if they are only a few years away from their retirement party.

A good start to address the problem would be for the government to do something about the annuity rates trap by facilitating a better mechanism for the conversion of capital to income and removing the punitive death tax on unspent funds post-vesting. But, instead, it remains obstinately deaf to pleas from all quarters whilst all Steve Webb is allowed to do is bang on about cheap auto-enrolment workplace schemes.
The reason why people aren't contributing enough, if anything at all, to their pension plans is because they've lost all trust and faith in the system and/or they simply can't afford any more. We out here at the coalface hear it all the time. Except for higher rate tax payers and/or those whose employers are making a decent contribution for them, all the incentives for so doing have either been taken away or, again referring to the ART, have withered on the vine. And the government is doing NOTHING WHATSOEVER about it. Its latest proposals to cut the anual input allowance even further, whilst not directly affecting most pension savers, is just further evidence of its strategy to destroy all public confidence in locking away money into a pension plan.report this

Pensions have gone the way of endowments.
When they were taken out they weren't a bad way of saving.
Numerous 'poorly thought through' Government polices later they are knackered.
The Government needs to make pension saving more attracted and more productive and rewarding for those who take part.
The analogy? The British motor industry. Left to fester with no development within a decade was gone.report this

Suns new head coach Lindsey Hunter = AJ Hinch?
Originally published: Jan 21, 2013 - 8:05 am
Anybody remember when the Arizona Diamondbacks fired Bob Melvin and hired A.J. Hinch?
At last check, Melvin earned AL Manager of the Year honors and just received a multi-year contract extension from Oakland A's GM Billy Beane, who might know a lil' bit about baseball.
Conversely, Hinch then joined the San Diego Padres as VP of professional scouting and hasn't sniffed the dugout since.
So, to answer our own question -- I didn't remember a single thing about A.J. Hinch. That is, until the Phoenix Suns fired Alvin Gentry and promoted Lindsey Hunter.
Back in 2009, D-backs management and ownership promoted Hinch ahead of qualified and accomplished baseball men, like Kirk Gibson. #GibbyBall.
In the Suns organization, Hunter just vaulted past 14-year NBA assistant Elston Turner and franchise icon Dan Majerle, who has been an NBA assistant for more than four years, along with serving as the Suns head coach in the NBA Summer League for four years. Hinch� err, Lindsey Hunter wrapped up his playing career in 2010 and then joined the Suns as player-development coordinator.
Hinch had never coached or managed a single professional game. #OrganizationalAdvocacy.
Similarly, Lindsey Hunter's coaching experience includes helping out with his son's high school team. #OhBrother! (Cue the Al McCoy sound efx).
Anybody remember how the A.J. Hinch era ended with the D-backs? Uh, let's just say the "D" in D-back stood for disaster and dysfunction.
Where do we think the Suns are headed? Dare we say that maybe, just maybe, the Suns are pointed exactly where owner Robert Sarver intends -- possessing the most ping-pong balls as possible in the NBA Draft hopper.
How else do you possibly explain entrusting a roster full of misfits and castoffs to an uber-rookie head coach?
Then again, perhaps the perfect fit for a roster that features nine new players, not a single go-to guy in crunch time and zero superstars just happens to be a head coach whose grease board still has the price tag on it.
In an interview posted on the Suns team web site, Hunter is quoted as saying about his entry level player-development coordinator position: "I'm still finding my way, meeting new people every day and just learning�I think it was just a perfect time for me to fall into a good situation."
That was exactly seven months ago.
Looks like Hunter just managed to fall upward again. And if the Suns keep losing (by design?) and plunging in the standings, then all those extra ping-pong balls might just yield oceanfront property in the desert.
On Planet Orange, this approach is known as the Failing Upward game plan.

On July 18 Detroit, one of largest cities in the United States, declared bankruptcy. The filing was made on the advice of Kevyn Orr, the emergency manager of the city, who was appointed by Governor Rick Snyder.
Orr is faced with a monumental task—the Motor City is estimated to be in debt to the tune of $18 to $20 billion. In early August, it became public that Orr had hired Christie's to appraise the collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts, which was founded in 1885.
Orr claims that a sale of the collection is not planned...yet. "The city must know the current value of all its assets, including the city-owned collection at the DIA," Orr said. "There has never been, nor is there now, any plan to sell art. This valuation, as well as the valuation of other city assets, is an integral part of the restructuring process."
Despite his current protestations, should Orr ultimately pursue a sale, he's going to run into significant legal roadblocks. In June, the state Attorney General Bill Schuette issued a 22-page opinion stating emphatically that "the art collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts is held by the City of Detroit in charitable trust for the people of Michigan, and no piece of the collection may thus be sold, conveyed, or transferred to satisfy City debts or obligations."
Further, on June 11, 2013, the Michigan Senate passed the Art Institute Authorities Act, which would forbid art institutes in the state from deaccessioning that is not in accordance "with the code of ethics for museums published by the American Alliance of Museums" and specifies that the art collection of an art institute may "not be leased, pledged, mortgaged, or otherwise encumbered; and may not be sold unless the sale is in connection with the relocation of the art collection to a comparable facility within the same municipality." (The Senate bill has been referred to committee.)
Christie's confirms it has been hired to appraise the collection but notes that it "will also assist and advise on how to realize value for the City while leaving the art in the City's ownership…. We want to continue to focus our efforts on being a positive force in both the interests of the City of Detroit and its arts community, including working with our fellow arts professionals at the DIA and with the City to find alternatives to selling that would still provide the City with needed revenue."
The city of Detroit, swimming in debt, is the owner of a valuable collection of art, and we're sure that creditors that are being asked to settle for far less than they are owed might point to the easy money that would come from strip-mining the DIA. The emergency manager should stand firm and rule out gutting an important cultural resource.

Eyes on the U.K.
Britain's surveillance state
The United Kingdom already has more surveillance cameras per capita than any other country. Now the British government reportedly plans to monitor every phone call, website visit, text message, and email, entering the information into an enormous database that would be used to catch terrorists, pedophiles, and scam artists.
In early October, when several British newspapers revealed the heretofore secret scheme, Dominic Grieve, the shadow home secretary, called it "a substantial shift in the powers of the state to obtain information on individuals" and warned that "any suggestion of the government using existing powers to intercept communications data without public discussion is going to sound extremely sinister." Privacy activist Michael Parker told the Daily Express: "It is a shocking intrusion into privacy. This is stalking. If an individual carried out this sort of snooping, it would be a crime."
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith later gave a speech in which she said the electronic dragnet would be limited to data transmitted through websites and information about the identitie sand locations of senders and recipients. She said investigators would still need ministerial warrants, a kind of administrative subpoena, to listen to or read the contents of communications.
The speech apparently did not reassure Ken MacDonald. In late October, shortly before stepping down as director of public prosecutions for England and Wales, MacDonald warned that "decisions taken in the next few months and years about how the state may use these [surveillance] powers, and to what extent, are likely to be irreversible," adding, "We need to take very great care not to fall into a way of life in which freedom's back is broken by the relentless pressure of a security state."

As championship golf courses go, they don't come any better than Doral's Blue Monster. With a history going back more than 50 years to a time when Florida swamp land was the joke of the Real Estate industry, Doral has garnered a special place in the hearts and minds of amateur and professional golfers worldwide. It's a monster of a course, not only in title, but in reality. Only one professional has ever really tamed the "Monster," and that's Tiger Woods. In March of 2006 he won his third consecutive World Golf Championship on the Blue Monster. His score? An incredible 10 under par 278. And to know just how good that is you have to play the course. This photo gallery will give you an inside peek at one of the premier golf courses, not just in Florida, but worldwide.

Duncan Cooper spends a lot of time on the internet. Every other Monday, he pays tribute to the hours spent with original video and audio. This week he celebrates the Dr. Dre Started Burning Man conspiracy with an exclusive interview.
When I broke the "news" on the Dr. Dre Started Burning Man conspiracy nearly a month ago, it was with a fair bit of skepticism. An incendiary Tumblr posted a handwritten letter dated February, 1995 in which Dr. Dre outlines plans to bankroll Burning Man, introduce entrance fees and "make some loot off these… crazy, naked motherfuckers in the desert." I maintain serious doubts, but the spread of the conspiracy—with mentions in the Huffington Post, New York Magazine and the official Burning Man blog—suggests some fundamental truth. Even if Dr. Dre didn't really start Burning Man, deep down maybe he did. When the site's owner, who to this day remains anonymous, reached out a second time, I was lucky enough to Skype my way into an exclusive interview and meet the burner behind the curtains.
My secret favorite part about your site is the quote, "to know the truth is to truly live." I searched for it online to see if you were referencing something, and I was happy to find only three instances, and they were all you.
So many people live with the wool pulled over their eyes, like situations like this where people are profiting off them over and over again. There's a great comfort in not knowing, a fantastic ignorance-is-bliss way to conduct yourself. One of the least painful ways of going through a life experience is to know very little. But, there's a completely flip side, and I think this Dre thing is a great representation. Sometimes once you know, it might be evil mixed with the most interesting thing you've ever heard, which is what happened when I realized Dre was mixed with the Burning Man people. Think about the money, which is obviously an important part of it: we're talking about millions and millions of dollars.
Does that bother you?
It's not like it's not going to exist. Someone is going to have those dollars. Who should that be? To me, I'm glad Dre is the one. I love Dre, he has always been a hero. I don't personally know the ins and outs of his financial interactions on a level I could pose any type of judgement, so I don't really have a position on the morality of how he makes money. But I do think he's really good at what he does, and his success is no surprise… One of the ultimate goals of the whole thing is the hope that once enough people understand the mysterious back room of Burning Man, maybe in the future he could actually attend Burning Man openly. The secretive aspect of it I think is unneeded, which is why I chose to be a whistleblower with the campaign.
Do you think you'll ever see him again?
I haven't seen Dre since that time period. I was a really young guy, you know. It's not like he would recognize me, I just worked on a crew. And in some ways it's really not cool that I stole a letter from a hotel he was staying in.
He's going to be mad at you.
I don't think so. It's something to think about. But to be honest, it's a little late for that. I don't really think anyone is at fault. With a thing like Burning Man, how can anyone be at fault? If I do bump into him, I'm not going to say, "Hey, remember me? I'm the guy from that Hype Williams shoot." I'm not going to tell him it's me. I'm going to ask him to comment on it.
What's your dream response?
My real dream, my super dream response, is if he was funny about it. He wouldn't be pissed. He would be like, "You're right, it was time for everyone to know." The actual words I truly dream of are: "I'm Dr. Dre, and I started motherfucking Burning Man." That's the ultimate.
Do you have dreadlocks?
No, I don't have dreadlocks, dude. You need to make that really clear in this interview. Things I don't have: I don't have dreadlocks, I don't have tattoos, I don't have a dog named Kaya or Zion. I don't have a dog at all. I do have a car.
What do you make of the public's reaction?
The whole way that this has unfolded is pretty incredible. I've received some personal emails from people that are pretty amazing, to be honest. Facebook was pretty funny. Here's a person who will go unnamed that I really liked. A lot of people came with the "where have we met?", which is a good question when you're befriending someone on an open public forum with first name Dr. Dre, last name Started Burning Man. I probably got that question 2,000 times. I said: "Perhaps in Austin or at Burning Man, if we have at all. I'm trying to spread the word about some pretty interesting info I know about the festival. We probably share mutual friends on this site. I'm a real person and I hope you don't find it offensive for me to want to share this information with you. Thanks for your acceptance." And this guy replies: "Huh. Okay. I'm dealing with a stalker, so you can understand my hesitation. Conspiracy? With the whole Burning Man thing? Not surprised." That's mind-blowing shit, in a way.
