Top tips for starting an Office Choir
1. Find a conductor You'll need a musical director to lead the choir, this could be a colleague or someone through a company like our partner – Music In Offices.
2. Get a room Speak to your building management to find a space you can use regularly.
3. Fix a time Make the rehearsal time convenient and not too long e.g. 5.30pm on a Tuesday for 45 mins
4. Choose some music Start with easy and accessible songs, so everyone feels comfortable.
5. Recruit your singers Put notices around your office and ask your comms team to send out emails, spread the word as far as you can.
6. Be welcoming Don't scare people with auditions. Maybe offer a taster session in case people aren't sure at first.
7. Take it easy Don't be too ambitious with harmony or complexity at first, build confidence with easy songs people can enjoy.
8. Perform Find an event (Christmas office do?) where your choir can show off a bit and sing to your colleagues
9. Don't stress about equipment While it would be lovely to have smart music folders, a choir outfit and a grand piano, none of these things are necessary. A sheet of lyrics sent through the printer is fine.
10. Have fun Most of all, this should be a fun experience for everyone. The benefits of singing are there to be enjoyed.

Festival artists win at RPS Music Awards
Many congratulations to Festival artists Britten Sinfonia and pianist Steven Osbourne, who won prestigious accolades at the Royal Philharmonic Society Music awards last week. Britten Sinfonia was awarded the coveted Ensemble award, and Steven Osbourne took the Instrumentalist award. Both of these award-winning artists can be seen as part of this year's City of London Festival – tickets are selling fast for Britten Sinfonia, presenting a stunning programme of Stravinsky, Vivaldi and Britten at Mansion House on Thursday 27 June at 7:30pm, and Steven Osbourne accompanies violinist Alina Ibragimova in their sell-out performance at Goldsmiths' Hall on Tuesday 9 July at 7.30pm.
Former Edinburgh Festival Fringe Director appointed as new City of London Festival Director
The City of London Festival today announced the appointment of Paul Gudgin to succeed Ian Ritchie as Festival Director.
Paul's expertise spans all corners of the festivals world. He was appointed Director of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in April 1999, where he oversaw a considerable expansion and international growth, with ticket sales doubling from 800,000 to 1.6 million during his eight year tenure. Following his time at the Fringe, Paul went on to establish his own consultancy working on a wide range of festival projects internationally with organisations such as the British Council, the Australian Centre for Event Management, Ontario Arts Council and Events Tasmania. Previously, Paul has also held posts at the Aldeburgh Festival and the Bury St Edmunds Festival where, over five years, he extended the event from a small cluster of productions into a busy sixteen-day festival described by The Times as "one of the best small Festivals in Britain" and one of the regions' cultural highlights.
Paul Gudgin said:
"It is a real privilege to be a part of this great festival, which annually reflects on the extraordinary history, architecture, people and ambition of this city. I am excited to be given the opportunity to develop a vision to take the Festival into the future." "As we explore the numerous possibilities offered by the post-Olympic cultural legacy there has never been a better time to build on the potential offered by the Festival's incredible 50 year history to showcase the very best that the City has to offer."
The 2013 Festival - Director Ian Ritchie's final edition after eight years at the helm – takes place between 23 June to 26 July and will offer another entertaining, innovative and thought-provoking programme reflecting on the ideas of war and peace and also the theme of trees. The creation of major projects and new works has been inspired by significant anniversaries, notably the 400-year relationship between the City of London and Derry~Londonderry and the 300th anniversary of the Treaty of Utrecht; and the Festival also celebrates the 100th anniversary of Benjamin Britten – one of Britain's most important composers. For further information please visit our what's on page here.

Help us bring the City to life this summer!
We are looking for bright and enthusiastic individuals to volunteer as stewards for the City of London Festival 2013. As a volunteer steward you get fantastic opportunities to enjoy a wide range of indoor and outdoor performances, including dance, classical and contemporary music, walks and tours. You'll also have a chance to get a sneak peek into some of the City's most beautiful and unique venues that are usually closed to the public. The shifts are flexible and can suit your availability.
Festival Conference - Worlds in Collision: Music & the Trauma of War
Friday 28 and Saturday 29 June – Mansion House
As part of the 2013 programme, we are delighted to announce the Worlds in Collision conference, in partnership with The Musical Brain.
Placed at the heart of the Festival – and the City itself – this two-day conference will address a number of important questions. What is the relationship between art and war? How are emotional experiences reflected in music and poetry? Is human creativity itself therapeutic? The event brings together musicians, music therapists, arts practitioners, psychologists, psychiatrists, neuroscientists, philosophers, historians and soldiers to examine these important questions that are central themes to this years City of London Festival programme.
The conference falls naturally into two inter-related parts, over two days:
Friday 28 June - The Application of Music to the Trauma of War considers Music Therapy and its use in the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other disorders as a result of conflict. The day will also address the potential application of music in the rehabilitation of returning troops from the current theatres of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, with their attendant PTSD problems.
Saturday 29 June - The Response of Music to the Experience of War examines music and creativity from the other direction, through artistic works that have been influenced by the pity of war, before concluding with a concert by military band and solo singers in the Mansion House's glorious Egyptian Hall at 6.00pm (this event is also open to the general public)
Booking opens for the conference on Tuesday 12 March (visit www.themusicalbrain.org or call 020 8404 1327 to book) ahead of the full Festival programme on Tuesday 11 April (tickets available here).
City of London Festival 2013
The City of London Festival begins its next half century after a hugely successful 2012 season, which saw record audiences attend our Golden Jubilee events. Festival Director Ian Ritchie, recently awarded for his 'imaginatively themed festival programmes' (Evening Standard), has curated a 2013 Festival that promises to excite, in what will be his final Festival after eight years at the helm. Read more about the 2013 Festival themes by clicking here.
Booking opens for the full programme on Thursday 11 April, with priority booking for Festival Friends from Thursday 4 April. Click here to find out how to become a Friend.
If you can't wait until then, visit our Book Now page to book your tickets for some of the summer's highlight performances.
0845 120 7502
Sign up now for the Festival Children's Parade
The Festival Education team is delighted to announce an exciting new partnership with the Worshipful Company of Fruiterers.
The Worshipful Company of Fruiterers have kindly offered to donate a pair of fruit trees to three schools who they feel have best responded to the theme "A Forest in the City – Fruit Trees" as part of the Festival Children's Parade on Friday 28 June 2013. This is an exciting chance to win some very special trees to be planted at your school so we've decided to open applications early for the Parade – download your application form here.
The procession itself will weave through City streets and feature forest-inspired artworks, costumes and banners, with a centrepiece project involving a number of local schools and artist-led workshops using tons of the City's recyclable waste.
Brodsky Quartet world première – details revealed
On 27 November, Festival Patrons enjoyed a special evening at Gresham College with the Brodsky Quartet's Paul Cassidy.
Paul talked about a new song cycle which the Brodskys will première at next year's Festival with the mezzo-soprano Loré Lixenberg, before taking it to other walled cities including Derry~Londonderry, Utrecht and Jerusalem. The concert will take place at Drapers' Hall on 24 June.
Trees, Walls and Cities will feature songs by local composers and poets, brought together in a suite composed by the international humanitarian, Nigel Osborne.
Alina Ibragimova returns to the Festival
If you weren't lucky enough to see the amazing violinist Alina Ibragimova in the Festival this summer, you'll be delighted to hear that there is another chance to see her perform at our 2013 Festival.
Following her sell-out concert with the OAE at Mansion House this summer, Alina, accompanied by the gifted pianist Steven Osborne, will play a programme including works by Prokofiev and Arvo Pärt (9 July, Goldsmiths' Hall).
In a recent feature about Alina in The Guardian, her playing was described as 'compulsive' and 'electrifying'.

Title: | Downstream environmental impacts of reservoir high outflows - with a focus on fisheries |
Author: | Naghibi, Ali |
Degree | Doctor of Philosophy - PhD |
Program | Civil Engineering |
Copyright Date: | 2011 |
Publicly Available in cIRcle | 2011-08-05 |
Abstract: | Extreme floods pose a significant risk to communities and environments in river systems throughout the world. In many cases, sensitivity of this issue is heightened for regulated rivers where downstream impacts of reservoirs are directly affected by operational decisions. Therefore, many North American jurisdictions require asset owners to assess downstream effects. Loss of life and economic impacts have been widely addressed in the literature. Nevertheless, immediate and long-term environmental impacts of such extreme events have not been holistically addressed. This work develops a framework for quantitatively estimating immediate and long-term fisheries impacts of extreme floods. The framework may also be generalized to other environmental systems. Several models are developed to support it. The immediate effects of extreme events are assessed with three models. These include: a probabilistic individual-based model that employs the results of a transient hydrodynamic model to estimate fish loss during extreme floods; a sampling simulation model that utilizes the results of a transient morphodynamic model and derives a probabilistic relationship between egg loss and flood intensity; and a habitat change estimation model that evaluates the available habitat difference before and after extreme events, given the results of hydrodynamic and morphodynamic models. A fish population recovery model is also developed and employed to estimate long-term impacts of extreme events, given the results of the immediate impact estimation models. An approach for estimating a number of risk-based performance measures that characterize the impacts and recovery from extreme events is also developed. These performance measures include existing formulations for vulnerability, engineering resilience, and ecological resilience, as well as a new measure which is introduced in this work, as vulnerability divided by engineering resilience. This new performance measure is designed to characterize both short- and long-term performance of the environmental system. Planning, design, and real-time operation of reservoirs, participatory water use planning, and licensing and relicensing decisions for proposed and existing water resource projects are cases in which such estimates may be useful. Applicability of this framework is demonstrated for the case study of the Lower Campbell River in British Columbia, Canada. |

About MeHey. I am a Sydney based commercial photographer.
I shoot for magazines, designers as well as advertising agencies and graphic design companies. I am currently working on a portfolio of new portrait images..I am looking for sitters. No pay but you get a nice portrait for it! I have been shooting fashion for a while now. I always enjoy working with a team and creating something bigger and better than one persons individual vision. My profile for fashion work has been growing without me even realising it...I was totally surprised to be ranked no.8 in Australia for fashion photography in 2008 / 2009! I am based from the largest daylight studio in Sydney, it is in Zetland, which is near Redfern / Moore Park. I am always open to discussing ideas for shoots from stylists, designers and models. Mostly photographers seem to drive the ideas, it is pleasure when someone comes to me with an idea. (This is called "testing" which on this website seems to be called TFP, in other words we all work on a cool idea for the pics for our portfolios) I don't always check this site, so if you want to drop me an email, send it to booker @doofdoofdoof.com or you can just call me. 0428294569 Cheers!

Thanks, ilemanex
Now that's the decisive moment - almost too good to believe (it's not arranged, is it?)!
Nice job catching that expression! Not that it could be helped but with the light was a bit softer.
** This was voted a Hit from Hit, Miss or Maybe **
@ Espen_ no, it was not arranged. I was just passing near her and I shot it. It was blind luck :-)
@Fahad Ali Shaid, thanks. The light was a little adjusted on post production. There was a strong shadow on the left eye: it was quite impossible to see it, so I had to work on it a little ;-)
very natural
at a second glance, i'd JUST give it a 5 just because its so simple and exhibits the skill for a hard capture.

Assemblyman Robert Oaks (R,C-Macedon) had good news today for both retailers and consumers across New York: the 4.25 percent state sales tax will drop to 4 percent on June 1, leaving the total sales tax at 8 percent when including the county portion in Wayne, Cayuga and Oswego counties.
According to Oaks, the state portion of the sales tax was raised two years ago to its current level as a way to boost state revenues. This was done with the promise the hike was only temporary. That promise will be fulfilled June 1 when the levy is returned to its previous level. Oaks called the decrease an important indication of the state's fiscal health and commitment to business.
The Assembly minority conference has always been aggressive with scheduled tax cuts, Oaks noted, regardless of the state's fiscal situation. Reducing the sales tax, as planned, is further proof that New York is "open for business."
"The sales tax reduction will make New York a more attractive place to shop," Oaks said. "When items are more affordable, more people will buy goods, thus energizing New York's economy."

text: The Mystery of the Nevada TriangleIn September 2007 Sir Richard Branson's friend, the record-breaking aviator Steve Fossett, disappeared on a pleasure flight. There were rumours that Fossett, who had made the first solo balloon flight around the world, was in Argentina or that he had faked his death. His loss sparked the biggest peacetime search-and-rescue operation in American history. Over the ensuing weeks, reports surfaced of hundreds - even thousands - of missing aircraft in a triangular area of the Sierra Nevada Mountains which encompasses some of the USA's highest peaks and its lowest point - Death Valley. Dating back to the early days of flight and World War II, the aircraft were lost in a mysterious area with an unforgiving landscape of high mountains and desert.

What if retailers knew how many shoppers went to specific store categories, how many of those shoppers dwelled and how many dwellers turned into buyers? Those were three questions presented Wednesday during a panel called "In-Store Innovation: How On-Site Insight Will Drive Merchandising Design Innovation" at GlobalShop in Las Vegas.
Family Dollar is answering those questions with the help of a new technology, said Don Hamblen, Family Dollar SVP of customer marketing. The small-box retailer recently launched ShopperGauge, an in-store behavior monitoring system that uses video and analytics to automate the process of collecting and analyzing shopper behavior in real-time as shoppers move about the store, interacting with brand messaging and displays. The system then generates quantifiable metrics showing how many shoppers visited each location and which brands were most effective in engaging and converting them to purchase.
Most retailers, according to Jon Kramer, chief marketing officer of RockTenn, the company behind the new technology, easily track how many customers come to their stores and what they purchase. What's missing is where shoppers went, if and when they stopped and what offers and advertising drew them to dwell and then eventually purchase.
"What if you knew? What if you had a really high value piece of real estate at the end of the aisle but could see that there was no traffic there?" Kramer asked, pointing to a video feed of a high-tech end cap inside a store. The video showed that the traffic around the display was so busy that a shopper wanting to explore the end cap was shuffled and bumped into, causing her to lose focus.
Another example Kramer showed was of a female customer shopping for a razor blade replacement with her small son. The video shows her looking so confused trying to sift through the options that she loses track of her son, who knocks over a bunch of products. She grabs him and leaves in frustration.
"You will notice that she doesn't buy anything," he said. "We can show you lots of examples; what would you do if you knew that? How does this change your thoughts about this category?"
RockTenn's technology, Kramer said, helps retailers answer these questions. They can learn how many shoppers go to a specific category, how many of them stop and engage with the product or display and how many of those people purchase the product.
After studying customer behavior with the system, Family Dollar used the data to make changes in how it displayed products, Hamblen said. For example, the retailer discovered that customers were not engaged enough while waiting in line, so the company is adding more products and displays in hopes of increasing last-minute sales.
"The data is very powerful," Hamblen said.
How it works
A matched panel of test and control stores in select retailers, including at Family Dollar, are now using ShopperGauge technology and are available for immediate access to live in-store shopper data by category, brand, aisle and end cap.
Manufacturers can engage in four-week testing periods where they can introduce new fixtures, display approaches, messaging, packaging and even change store location for certain products to understand shopper impact. Manufacturers can also immediately gain access to baseline data on how shoppers shop their category and brands.
The data is so easy to read that some clients analyze their own data, Kramer said.
"The beauty of this technology is that video is underlaid with a very sophisticated algorithm that turns the video into data, so at the end of the day you are not looking at hours and hours of data."

04Bhutto murder report released UN inquiry into assassination of ex-Pakistani PM says Pakistan failed to probe the death. 15 Apr 2010 22:01 GMT Bhutto was killed in a gun and suicide attack after addressing an election rally in Rawalpindi [AP] Video footage showed a gunman firing toward her vehicle as she left the rally, following which an explosion took place. Highly-sensitive Martin Nesirky, a UN spokesman, said on Wednesday that the panel headed by Heraldo Munoz, Chile's ambassador to the UN, would formally present its report to UN chief Ban Ki-moon on Thursday. IN depth Focus: Bhutto's disappearing legacy Video: UN to reveal Bhutto murder findings Ban will then share it with the Security Council and with the Pakistan ambassador to the UN, Nesirky said. Munoz and one of the other panel members, Marzuki Darusman, an Indonesian ex-attorney general, were to give a press conference later on Thursday to provide details of the report. Kristen Saloomey, Al Jazeera's correspondent at the UN, said: "It's very unusal that we haven't seen a glimpse of this report yet. Most UN reports are leaked to the media ahead of time, so it's a sign of how sensitive this one is. "While there will likely be no "smoking gun", and no names named in this report, it could have some serious repercussions for the government of Pakistan. "In particular, a current member of the government - interior minister Rehman Malik - who was Bhutto's chief of security, is expected to come out badly after this report is released. "Equally criticised will likely be how the crime scene was handled. Just an hour after Benazir Bhutto's body was removed from the scene, the crime scene was washed down, destroying any possible forensic evidence." Postponed release The delay in releasing the report was announced late last month only hours after a UN spokeswoman in Islamabad said all UN offices in Pakistan would close for three days as a security precaution. The measure affected more than 2,000 staff in dozens of offices around the country. Qamar Zaman Kaira, Pakistan's information minister, who announced the delay, said that two unnamed officials who had warned Bhutto that her life might be in danger "could be helpful to the commission in finding who was behind her assassination". Tariq Pirzada, a political analyst and columnist in Islamabad, told Al Jazeera: "It has been widely orchestrated as a report that will be impartial. The government of Pakistan invested a lot of time and money in this report. "But the attempt to discredit the report by the Zardari government in requesting for its delay has a reason. Maybe the report strongly implicates all. Maybe the report suggests that the personal security provided by Mr Rehman Malik and his 400 guards was not sufficiently managed and handled. "This would jeopardise the credibility of the current government." Security is precarious in parts of Pakistan, where more than 3,150 people have been killed in suicide and bomb attacks over the last three years. Bhutto wrote in her autobiography of warnings that four suicide squads - including one sent by a son of Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader - were after her. She also repeatedly accused a cabal of senior Pakistani intelligence and government officials of plotting to kill her, notably in an attack that killed 139 people in Karachi on October 18, 2007 when she returned from exile.

He taught math and religion in several high schools including: Catholic Central in his hometown of Detroit; Andrean High School in Merrillville, Indiana; St. Thomas in Houston, Texas; Archbishop Walsh High School in Olean; and Aquinas Institute. He has been teaching at Fisher for the past 18 years.
In addition to teaching, he also served as a football coach and chaplain at Aquinas, as well as the chaplain of the Institute's longest-running high school boxing program. He recently served for two summers as a part-time chaplain for the drivers and crews of the IndyCar Racing League.

How pensions make investing too complex by Roger Lowenstein @FortuneMagazine November 8, 2014, 7:20 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons KKR & Co., a private equity firm, has threatened to bar the Iowa Public Employees' Retirement System from investing in KKR's funds if the Iowa system complies with a public records request for information on what it is paying KKR in fees. What is KKR KKR so afraid of? Letting the world know how much it charges? Even sadder, Iowa's system is so desperate to remain in KKR's good graces that its general counsel is backing KKR's right to keep its fees a secret. This little cameo says volumes about what is wrong with American public pension fund investments. Funds have poured into private equity and other so-called alternative investments. They have assembled portfolios that are way too complex, way too dependent on supposedly sophisticated (and high fee) investment vehicles. They have chased what is fashionable, they have overly diversified, and they have abandoned what should be their true calling: patient long-term investing in American corporations. Public pensions are in a heap of trouble; according to recent figures (courtesy of Standard & Poor's) their assets are 29% less than needed to pay future obligations to retired teachers, firefighters, and the like. And while ordinary investors have seen their returns from the U.S. stock market soar since 2009, pension funds have largely missed the rally. That's because, following the advice of pricey consultants, such funds have piled into so-called "alternatives." These include hedge funds, private equity and real estate. Iowa, for instance, had only 28% of its funds in U.S. equities. Many of its peers had even less. It's true that the stock market doesn't always go up. But a long-term investor shouldn't be wary of volatility. Over the long term, American stocks do go up. And state pension systems should be the ultimate long-term investors; their horizon is effectively forever. Lower volatility helps fund managers; they don't like having to explain what happened in a bad year. But it is not good for their constituents. The Iowa system has trailed the Wilshire stock index over 10 years—also over five years, three years, and one year. Over time, that translates to higher expenses for employees or for Iowa taxpayers. And Iowa is typical of public funds generally. The whole idea of "alternative" investments, touted by consultants who need a way to dress up their product, is a myth. Every investment is either a bet on a capital asset to appreciate, or on a public or private entity to earn income. What's "alternative" is the packaging — the way some investment vehicles are structured. Hedge funds invest, for the most part, in the same stocks and bonds as everyone else. But their fees are higher, and they place more negative bets. Many hedge funds trumpet their ability to dampen volatility. Pension funds should not be in them. From 2009 to 2013, a weighted index of hedge funds earned 8% a year, according to Mark Williams of Boston University. The return on the S&P 500 was more than twice as much, and a blended 60/40 S&P and bond fund earned 14%. Granted, a small minority of hedge funds consistently beat the index. But most public pensions will not be in such superlative funds. Calpers, the big California system, recently decided to get out of hedge funds; some other public pensions may follow suit. By contrast, private equity remains the rage. However, private equity is hugely problematic. Those confidential fees are often excessive—with firms exacting multiple layers of fees on the same investment. Moreover, there is no reliable gauge of returns. Private equity firms report "internal rates of return." These do not take into account money that investors commit and yet is not invested. "The returns are misleading," says Frederick Rowe, vice chairman of the Employee Retirement System of Texas. "The professionals I talk to consider the use of IRRs deceptive. What they want to know is, 'How much did I commit and how much did I get back?'" Since no public market for private equity stakes exists, annual performance is simply an estimate. Not surprisingly, estimates are not as volatile as stock market prices. But the underlying assets are equivalent. A cable system or a supermarket chain does not become more volatile by virtue of its form of ownership. The fact that reported private equity results are less volatile pleases fund managers. But the juice in private equity comes from its enormous leverage. Pension managers would be more honest if they simply borrowed money and bet on the S&P—and they would avoid the fees. And if high leverage is inappropriate for a public fund, it is no less inappropriate just because KKR is doing it. Another way public funds suppress volatility is by pursuing extreme diversification. The relatively tiny Iowa system hires more than 25 investment managers—each of whom may pick hundreds of investments. And Iowa is modest. Calpers has employed as many as 389 managers—one for every day of the year. Consultants who advise public pensions thrive on making investing seem complex—that's what keeps them in business. But excepting for a very few people with uncommon abilities, investing is done best when done simply. With their close ties to Wall Street, pension managers tend to be steeped in the arcane culture of the market. The web site for the Teacher Retirement System of Texas refers to its "headlight system" of "portfolio alerts" and the outlook for the U.S. Federal Reserve and China. Managers who think in such episodic terms tend to be traders, not investors. This subverts the long-term goals of retirees. The focus on the short and medium term squanders what a pension fund's true advantage is. You may not have thought that public funds had an advantage, but they wield more than $3 trillion and have the freedom to invest for the very long term. Better than chase the latest "alternative," pensions could become meaningful stewards of corporate governance—active monitors of America's public companies. A few fund managers, including Scott Stringer, the New York City comptroller, who oversees five big funds, are moving in this direction, seeking board roles for their funds. More should do so, but that will require an ongoing commitment. It will require, in other words, that pension funds stop acting like turnstile traders and fad followers, and that they start behaving like investors. Roger Lowenstein is the author, most recently, of The End of Wall Street. He is writing a book on the origins of the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Iowa to Tesla: Stop test-driving your cars in our state by Roger Lowenstein @FortuneMagazine September 25, 2014, 10:24 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons This post is in partnership with Time. The article below was originally published at Time.com. By Matt Peckham, TIME If you want to check out one of Tesla's TSLA newfangled electric rides before buying one, you can add Iowa to the list of states to steer clear of. Trouble is, Tesla doesn't sell through traditional franchise outlets, and the company has no franchises dealer relationships anywhere in the U.S. If you want to buy one of billionaire Elon Musk's ballyhooed electric super-cars, you have to transact directly with the company. Unless you're filthy rich and/or casually profligate, that's going to be a tall order for most buyers, considering the base price on a Tesla Model S starts in the $70,000 range and surges by tens of thousands from there. Note that driving Tesla cars in Iowa is perfectly legal. It's just the test-driving or selling through a storefront part that's the problem. Forbidding car makers from selling directly to the public sounds odd, but in fact auto manufacturers are prohibited from selling directly to consumers in nearly every state. In Texas, for instance, Tesla has two show galleries, one in Houston and another in Austin, but as Tesla itself notes on its website: In an effort to comply with the current laws, employees at these galleries are prevented from discussing pricing and the reservation process. This includes any discussion on financing, leasing, or purchasing options. Also, galleries cannot offer test drives. The store's interactive kiosks are also amended to remove pricing. Lastly, we are unable to refer the customer to another store out of state. This puts Tesla at a serious disadvantage and inhibits our ability to reduce misconceptions and educate people about Electric Vehicles and the technology. Furthermore, people are forced to leave the gallery frustrated, lacking sufficient information about the car and the brand. There may be a political element to the kerfuffle as well: the Registernotes franchise auto dealers in states around the country have worked with dealers associations to keep Tesla out, presumably threatened by Tesla's unconventional sales model. In fact, it was Iowa's Automobile Dealers Association that tipped the DOT off to Tesla's test drives in West Des Moines, says the Register. But not allowing auto manufacturers to sell directly to the public may be harming consumers, argues a 2009 competition-related advocacy report on the U.S. Department of Justice's website. The paper advocates "eliminating state bans on direct manufacturer sales in order to provide automakers with an opportunity to reduce inventories and distribution costs by better matching production with consumer preferences," and notes that economic arguments for states' bans on direct auto sales that cite holdup or free-rider issues "are not persuasive because competition among auto manufacturers gives each manufacturer the incentive to refrain from opportunistic behavior and to work with its dealers to resolve any free-rider problems."

In Spanish, We Say "Ritmos"
Back in the day, big-time musicians used to regularly get together for all-star jams benefiting good causes like famine relief, AIDS research and ending apartheid. But ever since the problems that afflicted the world in the '80s were magically fixed through the transformative power of mediocre pop songs (thanks for opening our eyes, Bono!), rock stars appear less eager to join forces onstage against the intractable ills of the 21st century. Nowadays, the good work is done through compilation albums.
Enter Rhythms del Mundo (just wondering: why not hispanicize all three titular words?), a high-minded album created to raise money for the green activist organization Artists Project Earth. Although it's a bit unclear exactly how the group plans to use the money—the Web site mentions raising public awareness of the need to reduce fossil-fuel consumption and greenhouse-gas emissions—it's a refreshing approach to environmental fundraising.
The project features a weird mix of do-gooder artists, including the usual mainstream suspects (Sting, U2, Maroon 5, Jack Johnson), along with bands with more indie cred, like the Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand and the Kaiser Chiefs. All the songs on the album are infused with Latin rhythms inspired by the Buena Vista Social Club, and late, great Social Club members Ibrahim Ferrer and Omara Portuondo appear on a few tracks. Even Coldplay, the recording industry's answer to unflavored yogurt, gets revitalized with some Cuban flair. Be sure to check out one of the standout tracks, a spiced-up version of Sting's "Fragile." Get the message? The planet is fragile. Yes, it's about as subtle as a cattle prod, but it does sound good. —Doug Cantor

But she looks like a wolf also. Is she a mix of a fox and wolf? Anot

Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Bronson Arroyo threw seven innings of one-run ball to pitch the Cincinnati Reds past the suddenly-hurting Atlanta Braves, 4- 2, at Turner Field.
Arroyo (8-7) allowed only three hits and one walk and had his shutout bid spoiled on a two-out home run by Brian McCann in the seventh inning.
"I had good stuff today for the first time in a little while," Arroyo said. "I had a little zip on my fastball, a little bit sharper breaking ball."
Brandon Phillips hit a two-run double, Todd Frazier tripled in a run and Jay Bruce added a sacrifice fly for the Reds, who had lost four of five coming in, including the opener of this four-game series.
Atlanta won Thursday's game but lost Jason Heyward to a hamstring injury, then watched its two other starting outfielders exit early Friday. B.J. Upton left in the first inning with a right adductor muscle strain, and his brother, Justin, limped to the locker room in the seventh due to a left calf strain.
"I don't think it's serious. Hopefully we can get them back," Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman said of the injured outfielders.
Kris Medlen (6-9) added insult to injury when he was pulled after surrendering four runs on nine hits and a walk in four-plus innings.
Medlen gave up two singles and a free pass to start the game and found himself in a quick hole when Phillips stepped up with the bases loaded and roped a base hit to center to knock in Shin-Soo Choo and Derrick Robinson.
After Bruce grounded into a double play, B.J. Upton got a good jump on Frazier's sinking liner to center. Upton, though, couldn't make the sliding catch as the ball hit off the heel of his glove. The ball rolled to right field after caroming off Upton's knee, allowing Frazier to leg out an RBI triple as Upton lay face-first on the grass in obvious pain.
Upton left the game under his own power, and Medlen joined him in the clubhouse after putting the first three hitters on base in the fifth. Alex Wood came on in relief and limited the damage to Bruce's sac fly to right.
Cincinnati's bullpen took over in the eighth after McCann found the right- field seats the inning before. Sam LeCure worked a 1-2-3 frame, and Aroldis Chapman recorded two quick outs before finding a little trouble.
Tyler Pastornicky worked a walk, took second on defensive indifference and scored on Freeman's bloop single to center for the first run allowed by a Reds relief pitcher in 11 games.
Chapman shook off the end to the 33 1/3 scoreless inning streak and retired McCann on a pop out to first to secure his 21st save.

See Nicole Kidman's Awe-Inspiring Cannes Hairstyles From Every Angle
When you're a jury member at the Cannes Film Festival, like Nicole Kidman was for 2013's big event, stepping up your beauty and style A-game comes with the territory. Last year, fashion darling Diane Kruger made a sartorial impression during her turn on the jury, and this year, Nicole aimed to please and then some. From an impressively structured pompadour ponytail to some braided updos that will leave you in awe, Nicole's Cannes beauty looks (including her makeup and nails) are now visible up close from every angle.
1 year
I can say this because I have curly/wavy/frizzy hair, so I'm not being a "hater." I don't think Nicole Kidman is particularly good looking, but I think shes much better looking with her hair straight. I don't ever see that mentioned, but it's like she just totally dipensed with the curl, so she must prefer it, too.
When keratin treatments came out, I stopped wearing mine curly, too. I use Uncurly (the best DIY keratin treatment) which lasts me about 4 months--I couldn't afford to keep spending $400 3 times a year so I started doing it myself. Kidman's hair looks like she probably uses keratin, too. A chemical straigtener would probably make hair like hers break off or frizz.

TEPPAN'YAKI RIO(йү"жқҝз"ј гғӘгӮӘ) |
Enjoy the best of the juicy Kobe beef and live seafood. Great place to come for your birthday or on your anniversary.The port town "Kobe" is where many foreigners live from years ago and also where the meat-eating culture has been brought in early. The abundant land, with clean water and beautiful grass, made the Japanese black-cattle grow in their best condition, so "Kobe Beef" became the highest quality beef in Japan. Also, the garlic we use is from Takko town in Aomori prefecture, where it is known to have the best quality garlic in Japan. Grilling these ultimate ingredients in the simple way has become an art by the experienced chefs. Because it's simple, it's deep. Fully enjoy the authentic, supreme Kobe beef prepared by the chef's delicate sense and dynamic technique. We have private dining rooms for maximum 13 people.other photos |
