SINGAPORE: Action from the Aviva Singapore Open at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Thursday brought the biggest upset of the tournament as World No 1 Lee Chong Wei, the defending men's champion, is out of the tournament.
Defending men's champion Lee Chong Wei's lack of preparation showed. The Malaysian was defeated by Vietnam's Nguyen Tien Minh- 24-22, 20-22, 21-19 in an hour.
Singapore's young shuttlers' good run was also halted on Thursday.
The republic's top ranked women's singles player, Xing Aiying, had her work cut out for her. Xing was on court against China's Wang Yihun, the second seed at the tournament, who went on to win 21-16, 8-21, 21-7.
Singapore's Fu Mingtian beat seventh seed Lu Lan of China on Wednesday. But her latest opponent, Netherlands Judith Meulendijks, proved too strong as the Singaporean went down 21-18, 21-13.
Bucking the trend, the men's doubles pairing of Hendri Saputra and Hendra Wijaya won 21-19, 21-16 against the Malaysian duo of Chan Chong Ming and Chew Choon Eng.

The education of Clint Reilly
Political consultant turned property mogul finds real estate a tough campaign
Send this to a friend
- Steve Ginsberg
(Page 2 of 4)
Reilly won't discuss the loan, saying it's "unsavory" to give details of his financials. Those familiar with his loans say he may be close to tapping out the first loan, but needs the second to complete the renovating and lease-up job.
"Unlike a political campaign, real estate is a long-term business," Reilly said. "Wells gave me a loan and, in effect, instead of buying another building, I've repurchased this one. But when I'm finished renovating, I will have a brand-new landmark building that will be in my family for another 50 to 75 years."
Learning on the job
Reilly acknowledges his mistakes, chalking them up to inexperience. "If I had been at it longer, I would have taken less money (in rent). It's been a good learning experience for me."
The lesson was this: Lock up quality tenants at market or below-market rents, before the market collapses.
Brokers who have worked for Reilly say he is getting over the rough spots and maturing.
"Clint got beaten up when he didn't have experience, but over the next 10 years he could become a formidable real estate player," said broker Dave Wientjes, who did some work for Reilly, but is not working for him now.
Reilly came into the building with a bang, kicking out many of the 90 tenants who had been in the building for years prior to his acquisition. He then hired and fired a series of brokers who couldn't land the kinds of New Economy, high-paying tenants he wanted. His former brokers say he had unrealistic expectations about the building, and was asking rents well above what it could fetch.
A major defection was Huntsman Architectural Group, which relocated to 50 California St. Principal Dan Huntsman said Reilly was $20 over the market on rent, which forced him to move.

London, UK - The progressive rock music community worldwide is buzzing with excitement about the new release by celebrated UK prog ensemble Landmarq. Pushing their songwriting skills to new heights and crossing previously unexplored musical boundaries, Landmarq's 'Entertaining Angels' is being held as the band's finest album to date! Vocalist Tracy Hitchings has pulled out all the stops to deliver some truly dazzling performances and has taken a more hands-on role with some stunning vocal arrangements. Multi-talented keyboardist Mike Varty has also brought his production and mixing skills to the band and along with excellent performances from guitarist Uwe D'Rose, drummer Dave Wagstaffe and bassist Steve Gee, Landmarq's new CD is rapidly becoming one of the top prog releases of the year!
Says Tracy, "All of the lyrics I have written for this album, starting with 'Entertaining Angels', were born of my spiritual beliefs. Other lyrics I penned had that same concept, just different stories that got reshaped as I was overcoming Cancer with a very unconventional method as part of the belief in reshaping my life and helping me rid my nemesis. In particular, 'Glowing - Part 1 & 2' is a testament to that and was an amazing and cathartic experience. Writing lyrics and vocal arranging on this album has been an amazing journey and healing process in my life, which has completely changed from the one I once lived."
"'Entertaining Angels' is a triumph...full of power and passion..." - Geoff Barton, Classic Rock Magazine
Since it's formation in London in 1990, London-based prog-rock band Landmaq has so far released eight albums, two of which have been recorded live at various concerts in the UK and Europe and a third live CD taken from the DVD 'Turbulence – Live In Poland'. Initially signing to a Dutch record company (SI Records) then forming their own label, Synergy Records, the band soon firmly established itself within the world of progressive rock, though their appeal extended beyond these boundaries to a more mainstream audience. After three well- received albums, original lead singer Damian Wilson left to pursue a solo career and was replaced by award-winning vocalist Tracy Hitchings. Landmarq has played concerts around the world and has worked with artists such as Marillion, John Wetton, Steve Hackett, Nik Turner, Annie Haslam, Suzi Quatro and many others.
Now with Landmarq's fifth studio album, 'Entertaining Angels', the band has reached a watershed in it's career with a CD guaranteed to please old and new fans alike. The band is also proud to include guest appearances from, among others, cellist Hugh McDowell (ELO, Wizzard) and saxophonist Laurent Hunziker (Logicaltramp, Tiptop, Gino Sitson). Aside from brand new compositions, the album also includes new studio recordings of material first released on Landmarq's critically acclaimed DVD and CD 'Turbulence – Live In Poland'. All in all, 'Entertaining Angels' will be a worthy addition to all discerning lovers of not just prog-rock, but simply good music!
Says Tracy, "'Entertaining Angels' is rich in backing vocals, the arrangements of which were so important in order to give the warmth and brightness that was not quite as present in our previous work. I so loved arranging to the backdrop of Steve's and Uwe's music, which overall has been given the life-force of Mike Varty's production work. This has created a more accessible and maturer sound without losing the concept flavor. Both the cello work of ELO's Hugh McDowell and the sultry saxophone of Laurent Hunziker has provided the icing on the cake!"
"...without a doubt, 'Entertaining Angels' is the strongest album of their career..." Nick Shilton, PROG magazine
In closing Tracy has this to impart to the band's longtime followers, "I simply say to everyone – crank up the volume, fasten your seat- belts, and enjoy the Landmarq ride of your life. This album oozes atmosphere – hot and sexy!!!"

Daniel Alves insists Barcelona must not dwell on defeat to Valencia.
Barca were shocked by Valencia at the Nou Camp.
We scored a goal, we had control and then we were predictable," said Dani Alves after the match against Los Che.
"We let three points slip away when we had the match under control," continued the Brazilian, who admitted that his team "gave away opportunities to a rival that didn't have mercy."
Alves added: "We lost and now we have to pick ourselves up. There's no time to feel sorry for ourselves."
The Brazilian isn't concerned with losing the top spot of La Liga: "You lose the lead at the end of the season, not now."

Ethanol-free gas will soon be hard to find in Southeast Louisiana, distributors say
Updated On: May 07 2014 05:45:00 PM CDT
Consumers seeking ethanol-free or conventional gas might soon run low on options.
Some dealers say the Chalmette Refinery recently told them it will soon stop supplying conventional gas.
Waguespack Oil Company in LaPlace said it was notified that a cease in production will go into effect in mid-May. The Chalmette Refinery is its main source of ethanol-free gas.
Ethanol critic Pete Landry runs the website PeteLandrysRealGas.com. He said some of his readers have already started noticing a problem with finding ethanol-free gas.
"They're saying 'Pete, what are we going to do?'," said Landry. "Where are we going to get conventional gasoline anymore?"
Many boaters will travel far and wide to find gas stations that carry ethanol-free gas. Several studies have shown that the gas can be harmful to boats, generators, lawn mowers and garden tools.
The Chalmette Refinery is the largest producer of ethanol-free oil in Southeast Louisiana, Landry said. The next nearest are the Placid Refinery and the Phillips Refinery near St. Charles. The Placid Refinery is near Baton Rouge but produces less barrels of oil than the Chalmette Refinery, according to Energy Information Administration statistics.
A spokesperson for Chalmette Refinery told LouisianaSportsman.com "It was never our plan to cease production of conventional gas."
However, a message from the Chalmette Refinery to the Placid Refinery Company obtained by WDSU indicated that a terminal rack will close and then once reopen "Conventional Gas will no longer be available."
WDSU made numerous attempts to contact Chalmette Refinery for clarification on the future of conventional gasoline production at its site, but never heard back.

N. Korea demands South, U.S. halt annual military drills
January 16, 2014 - 11:29 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - North Korea has demanded that South Korea and the United States halt annual military drills due in February and March, saying they were a direct provocation, in a statement that suggested a re-run of a sharp escalation in tension last year, Reuters reports.
In 2013, North Korea said it would retaliate against any hostile moves by striking at the United States, Japan and South Korea, triggering a military buildup on the Korean peninsula and months of fiery rhetoric.
The reclusive North has regularly denounced annual drills such as "Key Resolve" and "Ulchi-Freedom-Guardian" staged by South Korea and United States as a prelude to invasion.
"We sternly warn the U.S. and the South Korean authorities to stop the dangerous military exercises which may push the situation on the peninsula and the north-south ties to a catastrophe," the North's KCNA state news quoted a body in charge of efforts to promote Korean unification as saying.
Similar bellicose rhetoric from the North set South Korea, the United States and Japan on edge a year ago. As a result, Washington flew Stealth bomber missions over South Korea and strengthened its military presence in the South, where nearly 30,000 U.S. troops are based.
South Korea said the drills are going ahead as planned and despite the threat, North Korea's military has showed no sign of unusual activities.
"If North Korea actually commits military aggression at the excuse of what is a normal exercise we conduct as preparation for emergency, our military will mercilessly and decisively punish them," Defence Ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok said, according to Reuters.
Analysts say the North cannot risk igniting a conventional military conflict it would almost certainly lose.
Many North Korea watchers believe the isolated country could instead launch another long-range rocket or push ahead with a nuclear test. It has conducted three nuclear tests, the last one in February last year.
The North could also stage another artillery attack on South Korean territory as it did in 2010, and risk provoking a military response from Seoul that could trigger a wider conflict.
The North's rocket launches are banned under United Nations resolutions because they are viewed as part of a process of proving the technology for an intercontinental nuclear weapon. Its nuclear program has also been sanctioned.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who took power two years ago, has pursued his father's military policies, including those aimed at obtaining nuclear strike capacity.

Nevada Democrat accused of threatening fellow lawmaker
A Democratic Nevada lawmaker has been arrested on suspicion of threatening to hurt another state representative, North Las Vegas police said.
Steven Brooks, 40, who represents northern Las Vegas in the state Legislature, was charged with intimidating a public officer with physical force. According to the city jail's website, Brooks was charged with a state statute that indicates the threat was "immediate," making the charge a felony.
Bail was set at $100,000. Police would not say whether Brooks had a weapon with him.
Democratic sources told the Las Vegas Sun that he had threatened the state Legislature's Democratic speaker-elect, Marilyn Kirkpatrick.
North Las Vegas police started searching for Brooks on Saturday afternoon after receiving a report of the threat that was corroborated by other witnesses, police said in a statement.

It used to be so easy. The company needed more IT infrastructure, so you bought more components, built more technology, and scrambled to keep it all well oiled. Then along came the cloud and the world shifted under your feet - or perhaps more accurately, over your head. Suddenly they wanted you out of the server room and (instead) in the boardroom, assessing the services of cloud computing vendors and discussing the cost benefits of the new technology. And then it's all "strategy this, planning that." But you keep thinking to yourself: What was wrong with the old stuff? And do things really have to change?
If "Internal Trembling" is all that comes to mind at the mention of "IT" nowadays, you're not alone. For the past few years, CIOs have developed an inferiority complex, questioning the very skills that got them where they are now and assessing how they can be useful moving forward. In the worst cases, cloud computing has made flying blind at work a reality, and that can shatter CIOs' confidence. Server rooms, with their friendly racks of IT infrastructure were once so warm, cozy, and inviting. Now everything's cloudy. Adding cloud computing - with its associated outsourcing management responsibility - to the mix when your roster already includes responsibility for managing legacy systems, maintaining uptime, delivering customer service, securing data, ensuring compliance, making mission-critical decisions, and sometimes even getting coffee for the CEO, can be overwhelming.
CIOs can't afford to tremble in the face of cloud offerings. Hesitation and downright avoidance of the cloud can stifle innovation, slow productivity, and prevent businesses from finding ways to significantly reduce costs and improve operational efficiencies.
The fact is, CIOs who are willing to embrace cloud offerings see the payoffs. Consider Ben Guanzon. As CIO at Vancouver Community College in British Columbia, he implemented Software as a Service (SaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solutions, and saved the college considerable IT costs.
"The internal computing environment was not in a very good state," recalls Guanzon. "We had over 100,000 student email accounts running internally. So I implemented a cloud-based email platform for staff and students." The business case was easy to make from a cost standpoint (the system cost five times more to host internally), but Guanzon had to address a host of concerns around security. "It required a lot of communication around privacy, the USA Patriot Act, and what it all meant. But as a CIO, you have to become an enabler. You have to think about how best to deliver the applications a business requires. It's a very strategic role."
Out with the Old CIO
The CIO of days gone by was hands-on with hardware technology. He or she determined the necessary infrastructure, acquired the tech components, and built the IT architecture. For years the focus has been on avoiding ballooning technology costs and operating within the constraints of aging systems. But being stuck in the server room also meant marginalization in the C-suite.
Today's CIOs don't get the respect they deserve and the accordant responsibility that comes with it. Charged with being more strategic, their focus has moved away from building everything in-house, and toward selecting vendors who offer IT components as a service, integrating new solutions with old legacy systems, and overseeing governance around compliance issues. CIOs now play the role of connectors - bridging the new world with the old, connecting the cloud with the server room.
It's a role that needs to be carried out with confidence, but that's not always how CIOs feel. In fact, many find themselves in a sink-or-swim situation: defending the status quo and protecting legacy systems is a metaphorical life raft. What they really need to do is pick up the oar and paddle over to the executive marina.
Taking a Seat in the C-Suite: How to Strengthen CIO Relevance in a New World
Change is happening at lightning speed, and CIOs have an opportunity to be innovative by finding new solutions to IT problems - solutions that are now usually cloud-based.
This means getting involved in strategic sourcing, managing people instead of machines, and talking financials and risk assessments instead of computer components. In other words, no more cowering in server rooms. Here's your chance to sit at the grown-up table.
For Guanzon, it was an opportunity that led to a bigger role, but it required the confidence to step out of his comfort zone and spearhead something new. "I know a lot of peers and colleagues who have not transformed to deal with the way things are today," he notes.
Being proactive means looking at cloud offerings ranging from Platform as a Service (PaaS), to Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and to Software as a Service (SaaS). It must also include consideration of security, data management and privacy, as well as long-term technology implications and planning. For some companies, the solution might be a private cloud; for others, public is the way to go. Still others might opt for a hybrid model. The key is to find a solution that makes sense for your company, instead of jumping on the bandwagon. Guanzon's advice is to start from a user's perspective. "You need to understand what a user is experiencing. Without that link, you're just putting boxes out there."
Once a solution is chosen, CIOs need to be able to identify credible, qualified providers, execute a thorough sourcing process, and select vendors that are compatible from both a tech and business standpoint.
It's high stakes for today's CIOs, but cloud offerings can no longer be ignored. Overcoming the inferiority complex and letting go of old technology means shedding the limitations of existing infrastructure and building something bigger, better, and downright brag-worthy. Because the possibilities of the cloud open your business up to infinite potential, and it's nothing but blue skies with a forecast like that.
Concludes Guanzon, "Hardware is no longer the focus. You can keep on building, but if it doesn't match what people need, it won't be successful."
The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

"Didn't you know, milk goes sour when there are thunderstorms around?" I was surprised to hear this old canard during the recent spell of thundery weather. I can't remember having heard it for ten or twenty years, which illustrates how changing lifestyles have seen off some old myths. In this case we no longer associate sour milk with thunder because most of us have fridges. Let me explain why.
It was a deeply-held notion until at least the 1960s, notwithstanding a widely publicised laboratory experiment which had been conducted way back in 1913 by Professor D.G. Duffield and Mr J.A. Murray. Maintaining an ambient temperature of 20°C, two flasks of milk were connected to a discharge tube through which an electrical current was passed for an hour, simulating repeated lightning discharges, and the air thus affected was bubbled through the milk containers. The artificial lightning was repeated at regular intervals thereafter, for up to nine hours after the beginning of the test. Several slightly differing tests were carried out, with variations in the intensity and frequency of the discharge, and variations in the speed of air passing through the milk. A 'control' flask of milk was kept at an identical temperature in order to provide a sample of the fluid not affected by the electrical discharges.
The results showed that, in all the test variations, the level of acidity - the sourness - rose less quickly in the 'electrified' milk samples compared with the 'control' sample. In other words milk actually sours less quickly in thundery weather, according to the Duffield and Murray experiment.
Milk goes sour due to bacteria - bacilli acidi lactici - which produce lactic acid. These bacteria are fairly inactive at low temperatures, which is why we keep milk in the fridge and it remains drinkable for several days even after opening. Once the temperature climbs above 7°C, however, the bacteria multiply with increasing rapidity until at 50°C conditions become too hot for them to survive. The myths concerning souring in thundery weather probably arose because most thundery activity in Britain occurs during hot and humid summer weather with only a limited cooling off at night. During such episodes the temperature increases sharply inside houses, even in the coolest rooms such as pantries and larders, to levels probably not matched at any other time of the year. Thus in pre-refrigerator days the milk would go off within 12 hours of it being opened.
It should also be borne in mind that during the earlier decades of the twentieth century it could take three or four days for milk to get from the farm to the urban doorstep, adding to the problem. The introduction of pasteurisation in the early 1900s added 12 to 24 hours to the life of milk and resulted in a marked drop in infant mortality rates in the hot summer of 1906 compared with the heatwaves of 1900 and 1901.

Downtown BID hires economic development director
Send this to a friend
Steve Looft emerged from more than 100 candidates to get the job of attracting and retaining businesses in downtown Milwaukee for the local business improvement district.
Looft started work on June 11 as the Downtown Business Improvement District #21 economic development director, but he has worked in the Milwaukee real estate market since the early 1980s. He worked 17 years at Milwaukee-based Van Buren Management Inc. for developer Joel Lee, and most recently was a private development consultant in his business, SPL Beverly LLC.
Looft said his role is to "smooth the road" to help other development officials, public and private, put deals together.
"With my tenure in the industry, I speak the language," Looft said. "I understand the challenges and opportunities when it comes to making deals downtown."
Looft will work only in the downtown area, which makes him different from economic development officials with a broader scope at the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp., Milwaukee 7 or the city of Milwaukee.
The Downtown BID hired him has part of its push to be more active in spurring development in Milwaukee, said Beth Nicols, BID executive director. The district had 107 candidates for the position after the BID in January asked people to apply, she said.
Looft's marching orders range from helping out on the big deals to attract companies downtown to simpler items, such as responding to businesses' requests for better tree pruning or dealing with panhandlers, Nicols said.
One of Looft's first responsibilities is to help complete a market profile that lays out the demographics and other stats on the downtown market, which will be used as a tool to attract businesses. The profile, for example, found that, since 2000, the number of downtown households grew 25 percent and the head count on downtown workers increased from 78,000 to 82,000.
Reporter Sean Ryan covers commercial and residential real estate for the Milwaukee Business Journal and through the Real Estate Roundup blog on the website. He also covers construction, highways and public transit.

I've done my best to take care of myself for all of these functions, but the most important one is just around the corner.

When I think CHANEL, I think luxury. I've never been much of a luxury cosmetics consumer.

Well, it's not just eye shadow. It's the entire CHANEL experience. I feel like I've been missing out for so many years. Is this what happens when everyone else shops for makeup? … Read more

A special tradition for graduating seniors at a small northern Wisconsin school keeps the community close at heart.
The graduating class from South Shore High School in Port Wing - all ten of them (plus one absent student) - received handmade quilts at an award ceremony on Monday night.
Each one is made by a member of the Community Caring Club, in hopes they'll bring a little bit of Port Wing with them on their next life adventure.
"It's so meaningful to us because they send us thank you cards and they tell us it was their grandma's favorite color and it reminds them of their grandma, and it reminds them of home," Jill Corr, the founder of the Community Caring Club said. "I think it's hard to transition into a big college from a little school, so it's kind of comforting for them to know they have a quilt from home."
Corr says each quilt is personally made, but they don't have a 'made by' tag on them.
The quilts are from the whole community, not just an individual, according to Corr.
