Tell Me on a Sunday
Carly Binding, contemporary pop singer and songwriter, makes her musical debut and is perfectly cast as the "woman of the hour". She commands the attention of the audience effortlessly with not only her beautiful tone and stunning range but charismatic personality as well.
Tell Me On A Sunday will not be a hard sell for those already acquainted with Andrew Lloyd Webber's work but I do feel this musical production is particularly accessible and one that can be easily enjoyed by all. Directed by David Coddington, this one woman musical is performed by a cast of one and made up of a one-act song cycle which showcases music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Don Black.
We follow an ordinary English girl from Muswell Hill who journeys to the United States in search of love. Her romantic aspirations starts off in the Big Apple, then to Hollywood and eventually back to Manhattan. The story of her quest for love which turn out to be more of romantic misadventures is told entirely through song as a monologue but also in the form of letters to Mum.
Carly Binding, contemporary pop singer and songwriter, makes her musical debut and is perfectly cast as the "woman of the hour". She commands the attention of the audience effortlessly with not only her beautiful tone and stunning range but charismatic personality as well.
Her performance was simply mesmerizing; she is both an accomplished vocalist and gifted storyteller. She moves from one song to the next with great ease and I thought she interpreted the songs remarkably; with honesty and heartfelt conviction. My favorite performance of the night was Unexpected Song – the emotion she delivers in this song is incredible and sent chills up my spine.
The accompanying costume changes to signify the passing of time were executed well and added a dynamic layer to the performance. Carly made full use of the set which is minimal but beautiful with everything on stage having a purpose. Mention must also be made on the excellent lighting design which set the mood and ambiance perfectly.
Musical director Robin Kelly once again doesn't disappoint, working his magic with an extremely talented band who bring the score to life and support Carly's vocal performance beautifully. The three backing singers also added great depth to the overall sound; their harmonies had just enough restraint and blended well with Carly's vocals.
Overall this is an outstanding, top notch production which ticked all the boxes for me and left me wanting more. If you enjoy musical theatre, this one's for you.

Gossypium hirsutum
- The cotton that we use is made from the seed fibres of the plant, which are up to 2.5 inches long and have evolved to help the plant disperse its seeds.
- Cotton is the world's biggest non-food crop and makes half of the world's textiles, explosives, oil, cattle food, toothpaste. It has survived competition from synthetics but at the expense of heavy fertiliser and pesticide use and its shocking history of labour exploitation. This elegant, cool popular material has cost more in human misery than its competitors wool, linen and nylon. The cotton trade was a driving force in the Industrial Revolution and helped to finance the British Empire. It was the mainstay of the slave trade and contributed to the American civil war. Today it is the heavy pesticide use necessary to grow this 'white gold' that claims lives.
- When Britain became a major cotton cloth maker in the 18th and 19th century, it drove cottage cotton weavers into factory work or into the workhouse. The word 'Luddite' has come to mean someone who hates technology. In fact, the Luddites were textile artisans who protested against the introduction of the machines that put them out of a job by wrecking them. Perhaps the most important technological advance in the history of cotton was the invention of the cotton gin (short for 'engine') by the American Ely Whitney in 1793, which reduced the manual labour required to extract cotton seeds.
- More chemicals are sprayed on cotton than on any other crop. Today cotton takes up less than 3% of the world's farmed land but uses a quarter of the world's pesticides! Newer safer chemicals have been developed, but they cost more. So, cheaper, more toxic chemicals are used in developing countries, causing about 20,000 unintentional deaths a year.
Where it grows
7,000 years ago humans started growing cotton in the Indus Valley in what is now Pakistan; 2,000 years later it was cultivated in what is now Mexico and Peru. Fragments of cotton fabric from 5,000 BC have been excavated in Mexico and Pakistan. Cotton spread east from Pakistan into China, Japan and Korea and west into Europe, reaching Spain in the 900s.
Common uses
Long cotton fibres are spun into thread for textiles, towelling, paper, banknotes, fishing nets, tents, nappies, wallpaper, bandages, surgical sutures, rope and sheets.
Short cotton fibres, or linters, provide cellulose used for dynamite, sausage skins, lino, cellophane, rayon, photographic film, nail polish, moulded plastic and solid fuel rockets, and to thicken ice cream, make chewing gum chewy and allow make-up to flow smoothly.
Crushed cotton seed yields a useful vegetable oil and the meal from crushed seeds is used for cattle feed, fish bait and organic fertiliser.
- Annual: lives for a year or less.
- Capsule: dry fruit that opens by valves, slits or pores to release seeds (dehiscent) and is composed of two or more united carpels (the basic unit of the female sexual organ).
- Herb: plant with fleshy parts rather than a persistent woody stem above ground.
- Ovoid: three-dimensionally egg-shaped with broader end at base.
- Perennial: lives for at least two years.
- Subglobose: almost spherical.

The US economy has strengthened considerably in recent years, presenting an opportunity to address the 40-year stagnation in incomes for the middle class. This column provides historical and international context for the key factors affecting middle-class incomes: productivity growth, labour force participation, and income inequality. It also outlines President Obama's approach to economic policies – what he terms "middle-class economics" – which is designed to improve all three.
Jean-Marie Grether, Nicole A. Mathys, Caspar Sauter, Saturday, January 31, 2015
Spatial inequalities in territorial-based greenhouse emissions matter in terms of regulation, both at the international and subnational levels. This column decomposes these inequalities worldwide for the two major greenhouse gases over the period 1970–2008. Within-country inequalities are larger, and rising, while between-country inequalities are smaller and falling. Moreover, social tensions arising from the discrepancy between the distribution of emissions and the distribution of damages appear to be larger within than between countries, and larger for carbon dioxide than for methane.
Kirill Shakhnov, Saturday, January 17, 2015
The rapid growth of the US financial sector has driven policy debate on whether it is socially desirable. This column examines the trade-off between finance and entrepreneurship, and links the growth of finance to rising wealth inequality. Although financial intermediation helps allocate capital efficiently, people choosing a career in finance do not internalise the negative effect on the pool of talented entrepreneurs. This mechanism can explain the simultaneous growth of wealth inequality and finance in the US, and why more unequal countries have larger financial sectors.
Enrico Minelli, Friday, December 19, 2014
Growth and inequality are back at the centre of the economic debate. This column presents a framework for interpreting Thomas Piketty's data based on Paul Romer's model of endogenous growth. Two balanced growth regimes are possible in this framework: one ('merit') with a low capital–output ratio, a high interest rate, and high growth; and another ('rent') with a higher capital–output ratio, a somewhat lower interest rate, and much lower growth. An increase in the returns to physical capital accumulation compared to innovation could explain a shift from 'merit' to 'rent'.
Branko Milanovic, Roy van der Weide, Saturday, November 29, 2014
A breakthrough in understanding the link between growth and inequality came from 'unpacking' inequality – looking at inequality measures for different segments of the population rather than just an aggregate measure. This column presents novel research that also 'unpacks' growth, investigating the impact of inequality on growth for different groups across the income distribution. Inequality toward the lower end of the distribution hinders growth for the poor, but not for the rich.
Loukas Karabarbounis, Brent Neiman, Tuesday, November 25, 2014
The share of compensation to labour in gross value added has declined in recent decades for most countries and industries around the world. Recent work has also used the share of compensation to labour in net value added as a proxy for inequality. This column discusses that gross and net labour shares have declined together for most countries since 1975 – an outcome consistent with the worldwide decline in the relative price of investment goods.
David Dollar, Tatjana Kleineberg, Aart Kraay, Wednesday, November 19, 2014
Concerns about inequality are at the forefront of many policy debates. While inequality has increased in many countries over the past few decades, in others it has decreased. This column uses data from 117 countries over the past four decades to investigate the importance of such changes in inequality, as well as of overall economic growth. Whereas inequality changes in most countries have been small, differences in overall growth performance have been large. Policymakers should therefore be careful not to undermine growth in the quest for greater equality.
Fabian Kindermann, Dirk Krueger, Saturday, November 15, 2014
Optimal tax rates for the rich are a perennial source of controversy. This column argues that high marginal tax rates on the top 1% of earners can make society as a whole better off. Not knowing whether they would ever make it into the top 1%, but understanding it is very unlikely, households especially at younger ages would happily accept a life that is somewhat better most of the time and significantly worse in the rare event they rise to the top 1%.
Charles A.E. Goodhart, Philipp Erfurth, Monday, November 3, 2014
There has been a long-term downward trend in labour's share of national income, depressing both demand and inflation, and thus prompting ever more expansionary monetary policies. This column argues that, while understandable in a short-term business cycle context, this has exacerbated longer-term trends, increasing inequality and financial distortions. Perhaps the most fundamental problem has been over-reliance on debt finance. The authors propose policies to raise the share of equity finance in housing markets; such reforms could be extended to other sectors of the economy.
Katharina Knoll, Moritz Schularick, Thomas Steger, Saturday, November 1, 2014
House price fluctuations take centre stage in recent macroeconomic debates, but little is known about their long-run evolution. This column presents new house price indices for 14 advanced economies since 1870. Real house prices display a pronounced hockey-stick pattern over the past 140 years. They stayed constant from the 19th to the mid-20th century, but rose strongly in the second half of the 20th century. Sharply increasing land prices, not construction costs, were the key driver of this trend.
Emmanuel Saez, Gabriel Zucman, Tuesday, October 28, 2014
Wealth inequality in the US has followed a U-shaped evolution over the last century – there was a substantial democratisation of wealth from the Great Depression to the late 1970s, followed by a sharp rise in wealth inequality. This column discusses new evidence on the concentration of wealth in the US. Growing wealth disparity is fuelled by increases in both income and saving rate inequalities between the haves and the have nots.
Daron Acemoglu, Gino Gancia, Fabrizio Zilibotti, Tuesday, September 30, 2014
Offshoring of production can have a deep impact on the wages and welfare of workers with different abilities through its effect on technological progress. This column argues that, when labour is sufficiently cheap abroad, firms have incentives to offshore low-skill tasks and invest in skill-biased technologies at home. Over time, however, offshoring raises foreign wages. This increases demand for all firms and makes innovations complementing low-skill workers more profitable. As a result, offshoring can eventually lead to higher wages for everybody and less inequality.
Joanne Lindley, Steven McIntosh, Sunday, September 21, 2014
Individuals who work in the finance sector enjoy a significant wage advantage. This column considers three explanations: rent sharing, skill intensity, and task-biased technological change. The UK evidence suggests that rent sharing is the key. The rising premium could then be due to changes in regulation and the increasing complexity of financial products creating more asymmetric information.
Avner Offer, Friday, September 19, 2014
Victory in World War I relied on three types of energy: renewable energy for food and fodder, fossil energy, and high explosive. This column argues that the Allies had a clear advantage in manpower, coal, and agriculture, but not enough for a quick decision. Mobilisation in continental economies curtailed food production, occasionally to a critical level. Technical competition was a matter of capacity for innovation, not of particular breakthroughs. Coercive military service and rationing of scarce energy and food had egalitarian consequences that continued after the war.
Reto Foellmi, Isabel Martínez, Sunday, August 31, 2014
Switzerland has had consistently low tax rates and a remarkably stable income distribution, although in the last 20 years the share of top incomes has risen. This column documents that the top 0.01%'s share doubled, meaning Switzerland is similar to European countries in terms of the top 1%'s income share, but closer to the US for higher top incomes. Labour incomes have grown in importance among top income earners. At the same time, however, top incomes have exhibited large and possibly increasing variations over the business cycle.
Jesper Roine, Henry Ohlsson, Daniel Waldenström, Friday, August 8, 2014
The extent to which lifetime incomes are determined by inherited wealth is a politically sensitive issue, but long-run evidence on this question is limited. This column presents evidence on Swedish inheritance flows since the early 19th century. Despite a long history of aristocracy, accumulated capital was small relative to income in pre-industrial Sweden. In more recent times, Sweden stands out as a country where the return of capital has not automatically translated into a return of inherited wealth.
Maria Bas, Vanessa Strauss-Kahn, Monday, July 14, 2014
The rise of trade in intermediate inputs is well documented, but its role in shaping domestic economies is not yet completely understood. This column presents evidence from French firms on the effects of importing intermediate inputs. Firms importing more varieties of intermediate inputs increased their productivity and exported more varieties. Foreign inputs from the most advanced economies have the strongest effect on firm productivity, but imported inputs from all countries help raise the number of export varieties.
André Carlos Martínez, Aldo Musacchio, Martina Viarengo , Wednesday, July 9, 2014
Institutions are known to play a powerful and enduring role in countries' divergent levels of economic development. This column presents evidence that institutions matter for within-country inequality, too. In Brazil, changes in export prices and export tax revenues led to an increase in education spending in states that experienced commodity booms, which increased the number of schools and improved educational outcomes such as literacy rates. However, the effect was limited in states where slavery was predominant in colonial times.
Kerem Cosar, Nezih Guner, James R Tybout, Monday, July 7, 2014
Trade liberalisations are often accompanied by labour market reforms, making it difficult to isolate their effects. This column discusses the effects of trade liberalisation, globalisation, and labour-market reforms on the Colombian labour market. Reduced trade frictions increased cross-firm wage inequality and shifted the firm-size distribution rightward, with offsetting effects on overall wage inequality. Average income increased, but the gains were concentrated among employees of large, productive firms with access to export markets. Greater trade openness also increased job turnover.
Odran Bonnet, Pierre-Henri Bono, Guillaume Camille Chapelle, Étienne Wasmer, Monday, June 30, 2014
Thomas Piketty's claim that the ratio of capital to national income is approaching 19th-century levels has fuelled the debate over inequality. This column argues that Piketty's claim rests on the recent increase in the price of housing. Other forms of capital are, relative to income, at much lower levels than they were a century ago. Moreover, it is rents – not house prices – that should matter for the dynamics of wealth inequality, and rents have been stable as a proportion of national income in many countries.

This article was first published in The Nation.
Watching the crowds in Iceland banging pots and pans until their government fell reminded me of a chant popular in anti-capitalist circles back in 2002: "You are Enron. We are Argentina."
Its message was simple enough. You—politicians and CEOs huddled at some trade summit—are like the reckless scamming execs at Enron (of course, we didn't know the half of it). We—the rabble outside—are like the people of Argentina, who, in the midst of an economic crisis eerily similar to our own, took to the street banging pots and pans. They shouted, "¡Que se vayan todos!" ("All of them must go!") and forced out a procession of four presidents in less than three weeks. What made Argentina's 2001-02 uprising unique was that it wasn't directed at a particular political party or even at corruption in the abstract. The target was the dominant economic model—this was the first national revolt against contemporary deregulated capitalism.
It's taken a while, but from Iceland to Latvia, South Korea to Greece, the rest of the world is finally having its ¡Que se vayan todos! moment.
The stoic Icelandic matriarchs beating their pots flat even as their kids ransack the fridge for projectiles (eggs, sure, but yogurt?) echo the tactics made famous in Buenos Aires. So does the collective rage at elites who trashed a once thriving country and thought they could get away with it. As Gudrun Jonsdottir, a 36-year-old Icelandic office worker, put it: "I've just had enough of this whole thing. I don't trust the government, I don't trust the banks, I don't trust the political parties and I don't trust the IMF. We had a good country, and they ruined it."
Another echo: in Reykjavik, the protesters clearly won't be bought off by a mere change of face at the top (even if the new PM is a lesbian). They want aid for people, not just banks; criminal investigations into the debacle; and deep electoral reform.
Similar demands can be heard these days in Latvia, whose economy has contracted more sharply than any country in the EU, and where the government is teetering on the brink. For weeks the capital has been rocked by protests, including a full-blown, cobblestone-hurling riot on January 13. As in Iceland, Latvians are appalled by their leaders' refusal to take any responsibility for the mess. Asked by Bloomberg TV what caused the crisis, Latvia's finance minister shrugged: "Nothing special."
But Latvia's troubles are indeed special: the very policies that allowed the "Baltic Tiger" to grow at a rate of 12 percent in 2006 are also causing it to contract violently by a projected 10 percent this year: money, freed of all barriers, flows out as quickly as it flows in, with plenty being diverted to political pockets. (It is no coincidence that many of today's basket cases are yesterday's "miracles": Ireland, Estonia, Iceland, Latvia.)
Something else Argentina-esque is in the air. In 2001 Argentina's leaders responded to the crisis with a brutal International Monetary Fund-prescribed austerity package: $9 billion in spending cuts, much of it hitting health and education. This proved to be a fatal mistake. Unions staged a general strike, teachers moved their classes to the streets and the protests never stopped.
This same bottom-up refusal to bear the brunt of the crisis unites many of today's protests. In Latvia, much of the popular rage has focused on government austerity measures—mass layoffs, reduced social services and slashed public sector salaries—all to qualify for an IMF emergency loan (no, nothing has changed). In Greece, December's riots followed a police shooting of a 15-year-old. But what's kept them going, with farmers taking the lead from students, is widespread rage at the government's crisis response: banks got a $36 billion bailout while workers got their pensions cut and farmers received next to nothing. Despite the inconvenience caused by tractors blocking roads, 78 percent of Greeks say the farmers' demands are reasonable. Similarly, in France the recent general strike—triggered in part by President Sarkozy's plans to reduce the number of teachers dramatically—inspired the support of 70 percent of the population.
Perhaps the sturdiest thread connecting this global backlash is a rejection of the logic of "extraordinary politics"—the phrase coined by Polish politician Leszek Balcerowicz to describe how, in a crisis, politicians can ignore legislative rules and rush through unpopular "reforms." That trick is getting tired, as South Korea's government recently discovered. In December, the ruling party tried to use the crisis to ram through a highly controversial free trade agreement with the United States. Taking closed-door politics to new extremes, legislators locked themselves in the chamber so they could vote in private, barricading the door with desks, chairs and couches.
Opposition politicians were having none of it: with sledgehammers and an electric saw, they broke in and staged a twelve-day sit-in of Parliament. The vote was delayed, allowing for more debate—a victory for a new kind of "extraordinary politics."
Here in Canada, politics is markedly less YouTube-friendly—but it has still been surprisingly eventful. In October the Conservative Party won national elections on an unambitious platform. Six weeks later, our Tory prime minister found his inner ideologue, presenting a budget bill that stripped public sector workers of the right to strike, canceled public funding for political parties and contained no economic stimulus. Opposition parties responded by forming a historic coalition that was only prevented from taking power by an abrupt suspension of Parliament. The Tories have just come back with a revised budget: the pet right-wing policies have disappeared, and it is packed with economic stimulus.
The pattern is clear: governments that respond to a crisis created by free-market ideology with an acceleration of that same discredited agenda will not survive to tell the tale. As Italy's students have taken to shouting in the streets: "We won't pay for your crisis!"

Charlotte NFTC recruiting notes
Auburn commit DE Lawson still wanted, QB Ferguson set to trim list
Updated: May 6, 2012, 11:48 PM ET
Kipp Adams | DawgNation.com
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Defensive end Carl Lawson committed to Auburn in March, but as is often the case with elite prospects, his recruitment is anything but over from the perspective of college coaches. USC, UCLA, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Arkansas and Miami are some of the schools that Lawson said have jumped out to him since he committed, and two of them could have a chance to get the ESPN 150 prospect on campus soon.
Tom Hauck/ESPNHSCarl Lawson is the No. 2 overall player in the 2013 class from Georgia.

Home Cooking Dish of the Month (December 2012) - Voting
- L.Nightshade Nov 25, 2012 08:11 PM
- 73
- Follow
Welcome to the voting thread for the Home Cooking Dish of the Month!
We had over 30 nominations for the December dish, but the great majority of nominations went to only two dishes.
If you'd like to view the nomination thread, and all the exciting discussion, click here:
Now it's time to vote for the dish we'll be cooking in December Please write your vote in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, only one vote per person. Reply to this original post when you are voting. And please, if you are discussing a dish after your vote, please keep the dish name in lower case. It makes it much easier to count that way!
Here are the two contenders for December:
Once again, I'm going to ask that you say a little something about how you imagine the dish, in other words, what are the ingredients and the techniques that make it a dish.
Voting will remain open until November 30th at 8pm Pacific time, 11pm Eastern time, and 3am December 1st GMT. The reporting thread will go up on December 1st.
Savory filling wrapped in a thin, elastic piece of dough skin. They have to be cooked, but can use a variety of techniques such as boiling, steaming, pan frying or deep frying. (I don't think there are uncooked filled dumplings, but maybe there are)! Examples are Chinese jiaozi and wonton, Japanese gyoza and Italian tortellini and ravioli.

re: Berheenia
I think you need to define gratin better. I make potato or sweet potato gratins with cream only.
Potato gratin
I make this one often since I bought Ottolenghi
http://www.food.com/recipe/danielles-...And potato dauphinoise has no cheese either
(Though I think dauphinoise is basically potato gratin. Someone might correct me again)!0-
re: lilham
There are any number of varieties on gratin -- w/breadcrumbs or without, w/cheese or without, w/cream or without. FWIW, my potato gratin has cream AND cheese, but no breadcrumbs. It's still a gratin, though.
I think we can agree on the fact that it is generally a layered dish that is baked in the oven.
oh, and...
If dumplings win, here's the definition I'll use, it's straight out of Wikipedia:
"Dumplings are cooked balls of dough. They are based on flour, potatoes or bread, and may include meat, fish, vegetables, or sweets. They may be cooked by boiling, steaming, simmering, frying, or baking. They may have a filling, or there may be other ingredients mixed into the dough. Dumplings may be sweet or savoury. They can be eaten by themselves, in soups or stews, with gravy, or in any other way. While some dumplings resemble solid water-boiled doughs, such as gnocchi, others such as wontons resemble meatballs with a thin dough covering."
I'd add that to me, a dumpling can be eaten in one or two bites. (So apple dumplings are too big for this category!)
I think the filled ones are more interesting, and more fun to make, but I'd like to learn to do matzoh balls (Jewish soup dumplings) too.0-
re: blue room
Gratin just hasn't yet interested me. This is a personal idiosyncrasy, and one hopes I will try a recipe here that changes my mind, but if I am going to cook, I want to cook dumplings. Kneidlach, spaetzel, wonton, gnocchi - I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.
0 -
re: blue room
I think filled dumplings are more interesting too. Hence why I narrowed it to just filled ones.
0 -
re: blue room
This makes me feel that samosas are technically considered dumplings, no? But I am confused when they mention gnocchi, which I adore, but would not consider it a dumpling, more like a pasta, as compared to ravioli, if we are using this definition.
re: Dirtywextraolives
Gnocchi falls into the the dumpling definition of 'dough that is cooked in liquid such as water or soup'. google the definition for gnocchi and it's a dumpling : )
I think of the samosa as a fried or baked pastry or turnover.
0 -
re: Dirtywextraolives
a samosa is not a dumpling - it is a filled, friedflaky pastry - like a hand pie. A dumpling will be a piece of dough, either filled or not that -usually it is cooked in fluid but sometimes fried. gnocchi is clearly a dumpling though an italian type.
re: perrottwilliamson
perrottwilliamson: <<They aren't balls of dough if they are Southern dumplings. Those are Northern dumplings.>>
Do tell.
re: rasputina
dumplings. I think filled are more interesting, including perogies, gyoza, potstickers, wontons. But I would think the 'matzo ball' style dumpling could be included too?
re: blue room
(thanks blue room, reading thoroughly is not my forte, gets me in trouble with recipes too LOL)
My vote is for GRATIN
As you can see in my profile, dumplings are my favorite type of food, but I personally think it's a bit too broad for this project. If we narrowed it down a bit in the future (for example, *just* do wontons or ravioli or gyoza), then I'd definitely be on board.
re: Dave MP
Good point, I agree. There are just too many variations of dumplings, as we've already covered in the nominating thread. If one makes a gnocchi, one makes some wontons, and another makes pierogies, it's really not the same as we are cooking the same type of thing but with different ingredients or methods, like enchiladas or meatballs.
re: Dirtywextraolives
Seriously! I think gnocchi itself has so many variations that I would be inclined to nominate it one month. I don't know for sure if I can participate but my vote is for GRATIN!

US Airways, So Far, Surmounts Labor Issues
In a September interview, Stephen Johnson, US Airways corporate counsel, said "the company is in the untenable position of having to continue negotiations with USAPA and inevitably having to take one side or the other
Speaking at a Nov. 17 investor conference, CFO Derek Kerr barely mentioned labor negotiations. But he emphasized that since the merger, one reason for US Airways' success has been operational improvements. "Operations
Kerr's charts indicated that in 2007, US Airways had the worst rankings among network carriers in all four operational categories tracked by the U.S. Department of Transportation: on-time departures, on-time arrivals, mishandled bags and customer complaints.
The carrier attacked the areas one by one and moved up to first or second best in three categories. Now, Kerr said, the focus is on decreasing the number of customer complaints. No other carrier has shown such consistent four-category improvement since 2007.
In other areas of improvement, US Airways has been less distinct from peers. Like them, it has benefitted immensely from diminished capacity and newfound fee revenue. In the case of US Airways, Kerr noted, $500 million in 2010 fee revenue includes about $475 million in bag fees. Purchases of preferred seats provided about $25 million. Although classified as one of four remaining legacy carriers, US Airways is in fact an outlier, neither a global carrier with a vast international network nor a low-cost carrier. This is why each of the last four CEOs -- Steven Wolf, David Siegel, Bruce Lakefield and Doug Parker -- has pursued merger efforts. Only Lakefield was successful, securing the 2005 merger with Parker's America West as well as the labor costs reductions and financing that enabled the carrier to emerge from bankruptcy. Since the merger, the airline "has been profitable for exactly the reason they predicted it would be," said Mike Flores, president of the US Airways chapter of the Association of Flight Attendants. "They put together two smaller carriers under one management group, improved the operational metrics -- which had been below industry standards -- and produced the product at a lower cost than competitors do.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Professor Kish Parella's New Manuscript Featured on SSRN Top Ten Lists
Professor Kish Parella's new manuscript, Procedural Fairness by the Corporation, places in the Top Ten lists for new papers in Contracts, International Economic Law, International Trade , Dispute Resolution, Public International Law: Organizations, Corporate Governance, and CSR Enforcement, among other subject areas.
From the abstract:
Global governance has not yet caught up with the globalization of business. As a result, our headlines provide daily accounts of the extent and consequences of these "governance gaps." The ability of corporations to evade state control has also contributed to an unusual development: corporations are governing like states. Some public governance functions traditionally delivered by state actors are now increasingly undertaken by transnational corporate actors. One area that is experiencing this substitution is dispute resolution of human rights. Corporations and other business enterprises, individually or collectively, are creating a variety of grievance mechanisms to address human rights and other conflicts associated – even caused – by their business activities.
When these roles are fulfilled by state actors, we rely on procedural fairness to guide, even discipline, decision-makers. Procedural fairness improves our faith in decision-makers and their institutions even if we might disagree with the outcomes reached. What does procedural fairness mean when it is undertaken by a corporation performing quasi-public governance? What factors might improve its disciplining potential on corporations and increase the likelihood that the watching public, local and global, might accept the outcomes reached? This Article addresses this challenge by developing a framework for procedural fairness that is based upon human rights research and contract law. The result is a strategy for trust-building that can improve the quality of governance performed by the transnational business sector.
Professor Christopher Seaman speaks at Texas Intellectual Property Journal Symposium
Washington and Lee law professor Christopher Seaman will speak at the 16th Annual IP Symposium: Patent Assertion Entities hosted by the Texas Intellectual Property Law Journal. The symposium is held at the University of Texas at Austin on Friday, February 20, 2015. Professor Seaman will present a new research projected titled Ongoing Royalties as an Alternative to Injunctive Relief for PAEs After eBay: An Empirical and Theoretical Assessment.
From the abstract:
Since the Supreme Court's 2006 decision in eBay v. MercExchange, it has become increasingly difficult for patent assertion entities (PAEs)—firms that own, license, and assert patents in litigation, but do not practice the patented invention themselves—to obtain injunctive relief after a finding of infringement. Recent studies have shown that evidence of competition in a product market between a patentee and an infringer is the single most important consideration in granting injunctive relief post-eBay, which few if any PAEs can satisfy.
When a permanent injunction cannot be granted, the Federal Circuit has endorsed an alternative equitable remedy called an ongoing royalty, which is essentially a limited, post-judgment license to the infringer. However, lower federal courts have not settled on a consistent methodology for determining an appropriate ongoing royalty, including the related issue of whether enhanced damages should be awarded for post-judgment infringement. This Article addresses the issue of ongoing royalty awards from both an empirical and theoretical perspective. First, it reports the results of an original empirical study regarding ongoing royalty awards by district courts following eBay. Second, applying insights from this empirical data, it proposes a new framework for computing an ongoing royalty that serves patent's law objective of incentivizing innovation while also avoiding excessive damages.
Professor Mark Drumbl speaks in Colombia with Lawyers without Borders
Washington and Lee Law professor Mark Drumbl recently traveled to Colombia with the organization, Lawyers without Borders. Professor Drumbl shares his account of his visit below.
At the invitation of a not-for-profit group called Lawyers Without Borders, I spent several days in Bogotá, Colombia, in mid-February. They are engaged in important work that explores questions of transitional justice, punishment, and reconciliation in Colombia.
I shared my experiences in other countries with regard to accountability for massive human rights abuses, including notably mechanisms that operate outside of formal criminal trials. I examined the usefulness of such mechanisms in my first book, Atrocity, Punishment, and International Law. I knew very little about Colombia so this was a huge learning experience for me.
Colombia has suffered multiple decades of internal armed conflict. The conflict, broadly speaking, occurred between the Colombia state and associated paramilitaries, on the one hand, and non-state insurgents, notably the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia or Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) and the ELN (Ejército de Liberación Nacional or National Liberation Army), on the other. Both sides to the conflict have committed grave violations of human rights, war crimes, and crimes that could qualify as crimes against humanity.
The FARC and the government of Colombia are currently in peace negotiations in La Havana, Cuba. The ELN and the government are not part of these negotiations. The FARC has announced a cease-fire and has been weakened tremendously.
The FARC began as a social liberation movement fueled by goals of land redistribution to the poorest segments of Colombian society. Accordingly, it has political roots. At the apex of its power controlled significant swaths of Colombia territory. While ostensibly beginning as a political organization, and still retaining some elements of a well-intended ideology, the FARC membership and methods however became increasingly terroristic and motivated by extortion, drug running, sadism, and kidnapping Colombians and foreigners for ransom.
The government of Colombia, through the state and more grievously extremist right-wing paramilitary groups, also has committed human rights abuses. These include extrajudicial assassination of civilians. In some instances, the bodies of murdered civilians would be deceitfully dressed up in guerrilla uniforms so as to indicate that the murdered had been insurgents. These 'false positives' inhibited any reparation claim and also ostracized the family of the slain.
The International Criminal Court is conducting preliminary examinations into the Colombian situation. As a result of this, Colombia is getting a fair bit of international attention. The state in an affirmation of positive complementarity has passed a number of pieces of legislation to encourage justice and reconciliation. The Colombia courts have been active as well. Civil society is very rich and engaged. Because of civil society actions other international actors, such as the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, have entered the conversation as well.
Major questions facing Colombia today are:
- Reintegration of FARC fighters convicted and serving jail time and possibilities of restorative justice within prison; amnesties for those not yet in custody.
- Accountability for state-sponsored abuses and stopping paramilitary violence.
- Some form of truth commission to explore the roots of the violence and suggest a greater political inclusiveness and equitable distribution of the benefits and burdens of society.
- Managing these issues within a process of peace negotiations that map onto a sense in certain communities that the conflict continues owing to the continued paramilitary attacks.
- Recognizing that Colombia has made huge strides forward over the past several years, and how to continue that momentum.
I met with a series of human rights lawyers at their offices in Bogota. I gave a talk about restorative justice as a potential methodology to help transition societies from violence to a more stable place. Afterwards there was a question and answer session.
On another day we flew to Bucamaranga. This is a city in the north, in the direction of the Venezuelan border. There we met with about 10 families of people (along with their lawyers) that had been murdered by state sponsored paramilitaries and their lawyers. In the afternoon I participated in a discussion with a group of judges, prosecutors, professors, activists, and international officials at the law school in Bucamaranga. Then the group (about 30 people) had a very intense conversation. Things are quite polarized in particular about what to do about the state crimes. The victims see those as part of a general plan of persecution while others see these crimes as aberrations that happen in the war against insurgents.
Lawyers without Borders together with the main law school in Bogota, the University of the Andes, hosted a conference about non-penal sanctions in the accountability process in Colombia. The auditorium was packed and there were many great speakers from all segments of society and the government. I spoke on the last panel, on questions of what it takes for an amnesty to be legal under international law, the definition of crimes against humanity and applicability to non-state actor groups with political missions, state responsibility, and the limits of law in transitional contexts.
Prof. Shannon Participates in the Third Meeting of the Third-Party Funding Task Force
On February 12, 2015, Professor Victoria Shannon participated in the third meeting of the Third-Party Funding Task Force, jointly organized by the International Council for Commercial Arbitration (ICCA) and Queen Mary, University of London. During the meeting, Professor Shannon presented a report on how the recent revisions to the International Bar Association's Guidelines on Conflicts of Interest in International Arbitration addressed issues relating to third-party funding.
The mission of the Third Party Funding Task Force is to systematically study and make recommendations regarding the procedures, ethics, and policy issues relating to third-party funding in international arbitration. The Task Force is comprised of representatives drawn from among governments, corporate counsel, international arbitration counsel, arbitrators, arbitral institutions, academics, and third-party funders. Its work will be presented in a series of White Papers and a number of public colloquia to be hosted at various locations worldwide.
Information about the work of the Task Force and a list of its members is available here.
Professor Bruner Speaks at the National University of Singapore
Washington and Lee Law Professor Christopher Bruner presented his current book project on the role of small jurisdictions in cross-border corporate and financial services at the National University of Singapore (NUS) on Thursday, February 12.

Prof. Seaman presents at 2015 Works in Progress Intellectual Property Colloquium
Washington and Lee law professor Christopher Seaman presented a new research project, entitled Property Rules vs. Liability Rules in Patent Litigation After eBay: An Empirical Study, at the 2015 Works in Progress in Intellectual Property Colloquium on February 6-7 at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in Alexandria, VA. The conference was jointly hosted by The George Washington University Law School and the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Professor Seaman's presentation at the conference was also featured on the blog Written Description.
From the abstract:
This project empirically assess the impact of the Supreme Court's decision in eBay, Inc. v. MercExchange, LLC, 547 U.S. 388 (2006), on grants of permanent injunctions in patent litigation. Prior to eBay, the Federal Circuit established a "general rule" granting injunctive relief after entry of a final judgment that the asserted patent was both valid and infringed. In eBay, the Supreme Court unanimously rejected the Federal Circuit's "general rule" in favor of injunctive relief, instead holding that trial courts must apply "traditional equitable principles" in the form of a four-factor test. However, in concurring opinions, Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Kennedy offered seemingly divergent assessments regarding eBay's likely impact in patent litigation. Chief Justice Roberts suggested that trial courts would continue to grant injunctive relief after a finding of infringement in "the vast majority of patent cases," whereas Justice Kennedy asserted that injunctive relief may be inappropriate in situations that differed from traditional patent litigation, such as suits by non-practicing entities (NPEs) and cases involving business method patents.
To test these predictions, as well as several other hypotheses about injunctive relief post-eBay, this project empirically analyzes all district court decisions where the patentee requested a permanent injunction following a finding of infringement (excluding uncontested injunctions) from the date of the Supreme Court's eBay decision through 2013. Each case was coded for a number of variables that may have impacted district courts' decisions regarding whether to grant injunctive relief, including the technological field of the asserted patent(s), whether the litigants are competitors in a product market, and whether the accused infringer was found to have willfully infringed the patent. The results from this study provide empirical evidence that supports conventional wisdom in some respects, such as finding that NPEs are rarely granted permanent injunctions post-eBay, but that challenges other commonly-held assumptions, such as finding that a history of licensing the asserted patent(s) does not appear to routinely preclude injunctive relief.
Professor Michelle Drumbl Presents at ABA Tax Midyear Meeting
Washington and Lee law professor Michelle Drumbl presented last week at the ABA Tax Midyear Meeting in Houston. The panel was titled "Fraud in the Return Preparation Industry" and addressed topics including the return preparation industry, how to report fraudulent return issues, how to resolve fraud and identification theft issues, and other related topics. Participants included Professor Scott A. Schumacher, University of Washington School of Law; Christopher J. Lee, Senior Attorney, Taxpayer Advocate Service, IRS; and Vijay Raghavan, Assistant Attorney General, Consumer Fraud Bureau, Illinois Attorney General's Office.
Professor Drumbl's presentation built upon her recent publication in Tax Notes, titled "When Helpers Hurt: Protecting Taxpayers from Preparers." The paper, which has generated significant attention, is available on SSRN at: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2545894.

5 Earnings Short Squeeze Plays to Trade
If you're bullish on THC, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades if this stock can manage to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $25.60 to $26.96 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that registers near or above its three-month average action of 2,219,780 shares. If we get that breakout, then look for THC to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $28 to $30 a share.
I would avoid THC or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout, and then drops below some key near-term support levels at $23.46 to $22.86 a share with heavy volume. If we see that action, then THC will set up to re-test or possibly take out its 200-day moving average of $21.32 a share post-earnings.
Mako Surgical
My final earnings short-squeeze trade idea is Mako Surgical (MAKO), which is set to release numbers on Wednesday after the market close. This is a medical device company that markets its advanced robotic arm solution and orthopedic implants for orthopedic procedures. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Mako Surgical to report revenue of $27.39 million on a loss of 16 cents per share.
Just this morning, Summer Street has upgraded this stock to buy from neutral with a $25 price target ahead of the company's third quarter results citing low expectations. The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Mako Surgical is extremely high at 34.9%. That means that out of the 37.67 million shares in the tradable float, 13.05 million shares are sold short by the bears. From a technical perspective, MAKO is currently trading below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bearish. During the last two months, shares of MAKO have been trending sideways between $14.18 on the downside and $19.62 on the upside. A high-volume move outside of that range post-earnings will likely set up the next major trend for MAKO. If you're in the bull camp on MAKO, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades if this stock manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $16.28 to $16.90 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that hits near or above its three-month average action of 1,184,400 shares. If we get that breakout, then look for MAKO to re-test or possibly take out its recent high of $19.62 a share.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Bello: 'Monogamy Is Nonsensical'
Hollywood beauty Maria Bello insists she will one of the last celebrities to settle down and marry - because she thinks its impossible to be faithful to one partner for life. The A History of Violence actress, 39, has never wed, but has a five-year-old son JACKSON BLUE with TV executive DAN MCDERMOTT. She tells Esquire magazine, "The whole idea of monogamy is nonsensical to me. "I suppose I understand the idea of a lifelong helpmate and friend. But when you have to stay sexually monogamous to this one person, I think it's usually a big fat lie. "Read the statistics. Seventy per cent of people are having affairs."

Once there are any signs and symptoms of a sexually transmitted disease, it is imperative for the people to get treated right away. One of twenty-five different diseases that qualify as an STD, chlamydia is also a lurker. Stool softeners could be recommended to cut back the uncomfortableness related to bowel Prostatitis treatment movements. There are various diseases that could cause permanent damage in the body that could be very devastating, especially for those who have desires of having a family in the future. A lot of the sexually transmitted diseases are highly treatable, so people do not have to worry, as long as they get prompt treatment. Chlamydia is one of those diseases that could be treated but could also cause a lot of damage and even infertility if left untreated. In some Prostatitis treatments instances, microbes may get in the vas deferens, leading to genitals pain as well as disease with the epididymis. Some things like to lurk. Annual testing is highly recommended by certified STD clinics-and it's not because they want repeat business-but it is precisely because of the lurking factor that chlamydia possesses. They like to just sit there all comfortably and then-without any warning at all-they spring up and bite you on the butt! Things that do this quite often are hairy spiders, scorpions, some types of snakes, rabid monkeys, perhaps-and definitely chlamydia. Increasing the ingestion regarding body fluids encourages recurrent peeing that will help get rid of the particular harmful Prostatitis from your kidney. If you are sexually active, testing for such an STD is a great first step in taking control of your overall health. In the United States of America Chlamydia infects over three million people a year; a hefty sum, by any standard. It is an STD that can sit and wait for years before it bites you (really takes a chunk out of you, especially if you are a woman who would like to have a child). Without treatment, chlamydia can lead to Non-Gonoccal-Urethritis (NGU) in the men who are infected, and Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID in the women who are infected. Again, testing is a great way to guide your health care in a positive manner. Anyway you cut it, chlamydia is an awful scourge. Up to seventy five percent of chlamydia cases in women, and up to twenty five percent of cases in men, are completely symptomless. What exactly is chlamydia? Well, chlamydia is a bacterial infection that grows-and wreaks havoc-in the urinary and reproductive organs. The fact that it is a bacterial infection is actually good news. A bacterial infection can be cured, while a viral infection cannot. In women, PID can lead to sterility, that is, to not be able to have any children at all. For many women and families, this is devastating news. And it can all be avoided by receiving annual testing at a certified STD clinicWhat to be on the lookout for? As previously mentioned, many cases of chlamydia do not show symptoms, therefore testing is imperative. Do not become paralyzed with fear if these symptoms occur to you, instead insist on testing. That's seventy five percent of all women infected showing no signs of their status at all. If this isn't an awesome case for testing, nothing is. Whoa, let's take it back a bit and discuss what it is we're talking about here. NGU can lead to inflammation-and even arthritis-of the testicles, in men. Treatment for Chlamydial Prostatitis. Getting yourself to a certified STD clinic annually for testing will stop the growth of this bacteria inside of you. For those cases where symptoms are present be on the lookout in men for, painful urination, whitish discharge from the penis and/or testicular pain. In women, itching & burning of the genitals, and a greenish vaginal discharge. Chlamydia testing may the only real chance you have to stop it dead in its tracks. Way too many people are affected by its insidious complications each and every year. PID may be caused by sexually transmitted bacteria spreading from the vagina to other areas of the reproductive system. This will eliminate the possibility that your reproductive organs can be affected and render you unable to have children. Pelvic inflammatory disease, or PID for short, is characterized by an infection in the reproductive organs of the female. For some, no signs of symptoms are present and the condition is not discovered until problems with fertility are noticed. Treat Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.Practicing safe sex with barrier contraception like condoms may help to reduce the risk of developing PID. Be prepared to safeguard you ability to child rear.Getting yourself to a certified STD clinic for testing will also help diagnose other STDs that may slip under the radar. Most people have a medical practitioner for their general health needs, yet if you are a sexually active individual, you need a regular sexual health checkup in addition to your traditional physical. Severe pain in the lower abdomen may be present in some cases, while some patients may also faint as a result. Many families want this at some point in their lives. Make it annual, pencil it in on your new calendars, and forget about it till the date arrives. Other possible causes of the disease include the insertion of an IUD, miscarriage, abortion, childbirth or a procedure that remove tissue from the uterine lining for testing called an endometrial biopsy. Those who experience severe pain, vomiting, high fever and other serious symptoms should seek emergency care.It's important to seek treatment for this condition, as the longer one waits to treat the condition or the more times the woman has PID, the greater the risk of infertility. Adenomyosis Herbal Treatment. Symptoms may include pain in the lower abdomen area, heavy vaginal discharge accompanied by an unpleasant smell, pain during intercourse, lower back pain, irregular menstrual bleeding, fever, painful or difficult urination, fatigue, vomiting or diarrhea. This is often one of the most frustrating complications of pelvic inflammatory disease, as PID may damage reproductive organs and prevent or make it difficult to become pregnant. Women who notice symptoms of PID should seek their doctor's care for treatment. Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill can promote blood circulation, dissolve stasis, clear away heat and toxic material, promote Qi and stop pain, in order to kill bacteria and eliminate inflammatoin and cure the disease in the end. This is the unique advantage of Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill. |

The Hypnotists
By Gordon Korman
By: Gina Dalfonzo
Published: October 18, 2013 5:21 PM
Literature - Sci-fi/fantasy
People tend to act a little odd around Jackson Opus. Bus drivers break all the traffic laws and nearly cause accidents, just to get him where he needs to be on time. Star basketball players miss easy free throws. Grown men start doing rooster imitations, and cafeteria ladies nearly drown students in gravy.
It's not that Jax is trying to control people -- he's controlling them without even trying.
In Gordon Korman's "
The Hypnotists
" (first in a projected series), Jax thinks he's just an ordinary kid surrounded by a bunch of weird, extremely suggestible people -- until the day Dr. Elias Mako invites him to join the secretive and prestigious Sentia Institute. There, the truth comes out: Jax is a hypnotist.
In fact, he's actually the culmination of two powerful lines of hypnotists, the Opus family and the Sparks family, and thus he has the potential to become one of the most gifted hypnotists who ever lived. Dr. Mako is eager to have him begin training right away to develop that potential.
Naturally, it's not long before sinister forces want to use Jax's powers for their own ends -- specifically, to ensure that a certain candidate wins the Democratic nomination for president -- and will stop at nothing to get their way.
Korman has long been
one of my favorite YA authors
, and his new book fully lives up to his reputation. Like many of his heroes, Jax is a likable, unpretentious young man from a nice family, just trying to live a normal life, until circumstances start spiraling out of control. Confused and under incredible pressure, he still struggles to do the right thing and to outwit the villains.
Korman shows a wide emotional range here. For one thing, he has fun presenting an alternate historical timeline full of hypnotists. In his telling, everyone from Churchill to Eminem was a secret "mind-bender," and various members of the Opus family caused everything from the Russian Revolution to the invention of the telephone. There's even a "lost first draft of
The Lord of the Rings
in which Gandalf was a mind-bender, not a wizard." Korman's trademark humor, though not as uproarious as in some of his earlier books, is sprinkled throughout the pages of "The Hypnotists."
But on the other hand, his young hero experiences more darkness than most Korman heroes. He grapples with the moral and ethical implications of his strange gift, constantly needing to make decisions both large and small regarding his ability to control people. He's forced to make terrible choices to protect his family and friends. And he suffers severe physical and emotional symptoms when the bad guys really get going on their work of using his powers for their own benefit.
Unlike many of his fellow YA writers, though, Korman manages to present this darkness in such a way that we sympathize with Jax, but aren't overwhelmed with bleakness and despair ourselves. There's still hope that everything will turn out all right, and with support from a ragtag group of fellow hypnotists, Jax is able to find a way to realize that hope.
"The Hypnotists" is a clean, enjoyable, fast-paced read that offers a young protagonist with a strong moral compass. With this book, Korman's new series is off to a great start.
