The Diyar Consortium[edit]
The Diyar Consortium is an umbrella organization that is responsible for the administration of its component institutions: the ICB, the Dar Al-Kalima Health & Wellness Center, and the Dar Al-Kalima College. "Diyar" (Arabic: ديار) is the plural of "dar" (Arabic: دار), meaning "house" or "homeland" in Arabic. It is headed by its president, Raheb, who is responsible for the overall vision of the consortium and securing funds for continuous growth. The consortium is governed by a Board of Directors, whose members come from diverse religious and vocational backgrounds, and administered by an executive committee and three program committees (for health, culture, and education).[4]
The International Center of Bethlehem (Dar Annadwa Addawliyya)[edit]
The International Center of Bethlehem, or Dar Annadwa Addawliyya (Arabic: دار الندوة الدولية), meaning "The House of Worldwide Encounter") is located in Madbasseh Square, in central Bethlehem, about half a mile (.8 km) from Manger Square.
A number of initiatives operate under the aegis of the ICB.[5] These include:
- The Ad-Dar Cultural and Conference Center
- The Al-Kahf Gallery and Arts & Crafts Center (independently, and in cooperation with the Dar Al-Kalima College)
- The Bethlehem Media Center (independently, and in conjunction with the Dar Al-Kalima College)
- The Bright Stars Program (in cooperation with the Dar Al-Kalima Model School)
- The Abu Gubran Guest House and the Authentic Tourism Program
- The Il'Iliyeh Restaurant and Al-Kuz Bar & Café
- The Ajyal ("Generations", Arabic: أجيال) community care program for the elderly
- The Azwaj ("Couples", Arabic: أزواج) group for young couples and families
- The "Palestinian Christians: Strengthening Identity, Activating Potential" Project (headed by Rifat Odeh Kassis)
The ICB complex comprises the old Lutheran School building, the former church offices, and three other buildings. The Ad-Dar Cultural and Conference Center and other modern parts of the building were designed by Finnish architect Juha Leiviskä.[6] The ICB complex sustained significant damage when it was occupied for 3 days by the Israeli army during the siege of Bethlehem in April 2002. Reconstruction and restoration costs totaled more than US$500,000.[7]
The Dar Al-Kalima Model School[edit]
The Dar Al-Kalima Model School (Arabic: مدرسة دار الكلمة النموذجية), meaning "The House of the Word") is located on the hilltop Mt. Murair campus and serves students in grades K-12. The school is coeducational and Lutheran-based, serving both Christian and Muslim students from the towns, villages, and refugee camps of the Bethlehem area.[8] The Extra-Curricular Program after school offers students the opportunity to receive instruction in their specific, chosen areas of interest from professionals in those fields.[9] The Bright Stars program (run through the ICB) is similar to the ECP program, but it meets once a week and is open to children who attend schools other than Dar Al-Kalima.[10]
The Dar Al-Kalima Health & Wellness Center[edit]
The Health & Wellness Center is also located on the hilltop Mt. Murair campus, on the ground level of the building that houses the Dar Al-Kalima Model School. It houses health clinics (audiology, nutrition, endocrinology, cardiology, and psychotherapy) as well as fitness facilities and programming, including a swimming pool and sauna, yoga and aerobics classes, and exercise machines.[11] The aims of the Health & Wellness Center are prevention through promotion of healthy lifestyles, and providing specialist care not available elsewhere in the southern West Bank.[12]
The Dar Al-Kalima College[edit]
The College began operating in 2006 from the ICB complex in Madbasseh Square, offering diploma courses in documentary film-making and glass and ceramic art. The College received accreditation in 2007 from the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education for Bachelor's degree programs in contemporary fine art, multimedia and tourism studies.[13]
Raheb has written 13 books and numerous articles on issues relating to interfaith dialogue, social transformation, contextual theology, and culture, many of them available in over 10 languages, including Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Swedish, Finnish, Danish, Norwegian, English, German, and Arabic.[14]

Management Policies
Key Management Policies
The JAFCO Group's management philosophy is "value creation through private equity". Based on this philosophy, we aim to strengthen our profit base and boost profitability through the implementation of a "private equity value chain".
Medium-to-long-term Management Strategy
The JAFCO Group aims to implement a four-stage "private equity value chain" to build a profit base that is not susceptible to volatility in the operating environment, steadily boost, profitability, and achieve sustainable growth.
The first stage in this chain is the creation of risk money through the establishment of new funds. Access to a large pool of investment funds is essential to taking advantage of investment opportunities in the rapidly changing PE market.
The second stage is investment. This involves building a portfolio by investing in carefully-selected companies of various sizes and growth stages, including incubation investment, investments in venture and midsize companies, and buyout deals.
The third stage involves boosting the corporate value of investees. We provide proactive management support to strengthen their business base and boost corporate value of our investees.
The fourth stage is increasing capital gains through IPOs, trade sales on M&A and achieving other appropriate exits, which are the result of the virtuous cycle that has been created through our private equity investment activities.
Finally, this strategy is implemented based on an efficient cost structure.

After 50 years of stepping on its neck, now the United States is preparing to normalize relations with Cuba. President Barack Obama's wide-ranging diplomatic bet involves finance, trade, border security and travel. That means it will spark a lot of work for you, your employees and contractors. Don Kettl, a professor at the University of Maryland School of Public Policy, joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive with more on the implications.

Much as the chicken is obviously processed, these are a tasty snack. There is just enough spice, and the peanut sauce is lovely. I had these last night in a warm baguette with some thinly sliced iceberg lettuce. Delicious!

Decidedly average.
We used to love these, but now I wonder if they have changed the product. The chicken tastes fake and has the wrong consistency. The peanut sauce is very good, although the package is annoying.

In 66 matches, Australia has won 35 and South Africa 28In the four WC meetings, Australia leads 2-1 with a `tie' in 1999
GROS ISLET (St. Lucia): Australia has beaten all its major rivals on the way to the World Cup semifinals. Now South Africa gets a second chance.
Beaten by 83 runs in the group phase, South Africa will become the latest nation to try to stop a rampant Australian team from winning the title for an unprecedented third time in a row.
"What has happened before means nothing. We hope to win and go on to a World Cup final," South Africa captain Graeme Smith said ahead of Wednesday's game in St. Lucia.
Putting a brave face on it is about as much as Smith can do.
Brutal best
Every team has been resoundingly beaten and Australia's batsmen are at their brutal best. The bowlers combine the raw pace of Shaun Tait and the metronomic accuracy of Glenn McGrath and a handful of one-day specialist bowlers who frustrate and contain batsmen.
McGrath and opening batsman Matthew Hayden are the leading bowler and batsman respectively so far in the World Cup.
Hayden, discarded as a one-day player six months ago, is in awesome form in the Caribbean.
Massive average
In eight innings he has scored 580 runs, averaging a massive 82.85 with three centuries. He also tops the Super Eight batting statistics, with 390 runs from five innings.
One of the centuries, in 66 balls, was made against South Africa in the group stages as Australia amassed 376 for an easy victory.
"It's continual persistence and the pure joy of playing for your country," the left-hander said. "I've got runs and I've been consistent."
The 35-year-old Queenslander was speaking after an extraordinary, hour-long solo practice session in which he peppered the Beausejour stadium, sending onlookers and ground staff running for cover.
Even if Hayden has a bad day, Australia still has Adam Gilchrist, captain Ricky Ponting or the likes of Michael Clarke, Michael Hussey or Andrew Symonds to come up with a big innings. But South Africa will be no pushovers if the team combines its undoubted talent.
Smith's left knee was wrapped in an ice pack on Monday after an injury he picked up during a nine-wicket victory over England last week that took the team into the semifinal. But he came through a lengthy net session and said he was confident he would be fit for Wednesday's match.
Smith and A.B. de Villiers have established a good working relationship as openers and even resembled the destructive Australians as they bludgeoned their way to victory against England. In Jacques Kallis, South Africa has a potential match winner. One of cricket's most destructive Test cricketers, Kallis has struggled to adapt to the one-day game but provides a crucial platform around which the team's more aggressive stroke players like Andrew Hall and Herschelle Gibbs can operate.
Smith prevaricated when asked about his bowling attack on Wednesday, hinting that spinner Robin Peterson might play.
That seems unlikely as he has played virtually no part in the tournament.
Pace bowler Makhaya Ntini was surprisingly replaced by Charl Langeveldt against England after returning some moderate performances and it is not known if Ntini will make it in the South Africa team.
The teams (from): Australia: Ricky Ponting (capt.), Adam Gilchrist, Matthew Hayden, Michael Clarke, Andrew Symonds, Brad Hodge, Shane Watson, Michael Hussey, Brad Hogg, Nathan Bracken, Shaun Tait, Glenn McGrath, Stuart Clark, Brad Haddin and Mitchell Johnson.
South Africa: Graeme Smith (capt.), A.B. de Villiers, Jacques Kallis, Herschelle Gibbs, Ashwell Prince, Robin Peterson, Mark Boucher, Shaun Pollock, Andre Nel, Andrew Hall, Makhaya Ntini and Charl Langeveldt.
Umpires: Steve Bucknor and Aleem Dar. TV umpire: Billy Bowden.
Hours of play (IST): 7 to 10.30 p.m. and 11.15 p.m. till close. AP

Skilled artisans have been working to restore the glory of the Khairatabad mosque
Hyderabad: The work progresses at a sluggish pace. For months workers are seen merely shaping up the minaret. Frustrating indeed, but a closer look will show that the time is well spent. The intricate decorative pattern on the minaret is back – as if it had not been disturbed in the first place. Inch by inch the slender minaret is regaining its pristine glory.
Repair and renovation work of the Khairatabad mosque, a protected monument, is going on for the last one year. And it is nowhere near completion. The work is painstaking and it can't be hurried, says J. Kedereshwari, director, Archaeology and Museums.
Situated in Khairatabad, the grand mosque around which the locality has grown, is a finest piece of Qutb Shahi architecture. However, age and negligence has chipped away its beauty. The Archaeology department has stepped in after the mosque roof developed a leak and the lime plaster and stucco work started falling. Vegetal growth has also caused fissures in the minarets especially in the rear side.
The mosque, which has a three arched opening in front, was built by Khairat-un-Nisa Begum, daughter of Mohd Qutb Shah, the sixth king in the line of Qutb Shahi dynasty. She is believed to have constructed the mosque for her tutor, Akhund Mulla Abdul Malik.
The department has engaged skilled labours from the old city to control and repair the damage. Care has been taken to use only indigenous material – lime, sand, jute, molasses, alovera.
The curing is done using molasses liquid soaked with 'karakai', a gumming substance. For a change water has not been used at all. The leaky roof has been plugged and the broken stucco work of a minaret completed. Still two more minarets remain to be attended.
Once they are restored, it is proposed to apply mother of pearl powder of sea shells to lend sheen to the minarets. The Archaeology department is spending Rs. 25 lakh on repair of the mosque.
However, authorities are upset by the construction of a portico by the mosque committee affecting the front elevation.

The ozone hole over Antarctica has shrunk 30 percent as compared to last year's record size. According to measurements made by ESAs Envisat satellite, this years ozone loss peaked at 27.7 million tonnes, compared to the 2006 record ozone loss of 40 million tonnes.
Ozone loss is derived by measuring the area and the depth of the ozone hole. The area of this years ozone hole where the ozone measures less than 220 Dobson Units is 24.7 million sq km, roughly the size of North America, and the minimum value of the ozone layer is around 120 Dobson Units.
A Dobson Unit is a unit of measurement that describes the thickness of the ozone layer in a column directly above the location being measured. For instance, if an ozone column of 300 Dobson Units is compressed to 0 C and 1 atmosphere (the pressure at the Earths surface) and spread out evenly over the area, it would form a slab of ozone approximately 3mm thick.
Scientists say this years smaller hole a thinning in the ozone layer over the South Pole is due to natural variations in temperature and atmospheric dynamics (illustrated in the time series to the right) and is not indicative of a long-term trend.
"Although the hole is somewhat smaller than usual, we cannot conclude from this that the ozone layer is recovering already, Ronald van der A, a senior project scientist at Royal Dutch Meteorological Institute (KNMI), said.
"This year's ozone hole was less centred on the South Pole as in other years, which allowed it to mix with warmer air, reducing the growth of the hole because ozone is depleted at temperatures less than -78 degrees Celsius."
During the southern hemisphere winter, the atmospheric mass above the Antarctic continent is kept cut off from exchanges with mid-latitude air by prevailing winds known as the polar vortex. This leads to very low temperatures, and in the cold and continuous darkness of this season, polar stratospheric clouds are formed t

At first, Hector Guzman and Sophie Brinkmann seemed like a perfect match. Sophie was a widowed single mom; Hector Guzman, a thoughtful, suave gentleman who enjoyed becoming part of her household. Only one thing was wrong: Guzman was an international crime syndicate boss—and that's a deal breaker that's not easily broken. (P.S. Fellow novelist Brad Thor imagined The Andalucian Friend as "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo with The Sopranos.")

Vietnam-Japan ties taken to new high
Publication Date : 19-03-2014
Japan and Vietnam have decided to elevate bilateral relations into an "extensive strategic partnership." This was announced in a joint statement issued in Tokyo yesterday after a meeting between President Truong Tan Sang and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
In a speech at the National Diet (parliament), Sang thanked the Japanese government for its continued assistance to Vietnam, as he noted that the relationship between the two countries started way back in the eight century, when a Vietnamese Buddhist monk named Phat Triet carried out missionary work in Japan
The Vietnamese President also thanked Japan for providing assistance to clear unexploded ordnance and landmines through the Japan Asean Integration Fund (JAIF).
Bearing in mind the need to enhance maritime law-enforcement agencies in Vietnam, Abe announced the dispatch of a survey team to Vietnam at an early date for discussions.
During their meeting, the Vietnamese delegation proposed an early commencement of negotiations on treaties on mutual legal assistance, extradition, and the transfer of people sentenced under the law. The Japanese panel, for its part, expressed hope that Vietnam would consider joining multilateral treaties, including the Hague Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents in Civil or Commercial Matters.
Vietnam and Japan shared the intention to continue working closely for the effective implementation of the Memorandum on Bilateral Defense Cooperation and Exchanges signed in 2011; continue implementing the Vietnam - Japan Defense Policy Dialogue at vice-ministerial level; enhance the exchange of delegations at various levels, including ministerial level, senior official level and expert level; promote cooperation between the respective services of the Vietnam People's Army and the Japan Self-Defense Forces, and advance cooperation in such fields as human resource development, capacity building and visits of military ships.
Japan said it would continue working with Vietnam in six key areas under the Vietnam- Japan cooperation framework until 2020 with a vision to 2030. These are agro-fishery processing, electronics, automobiles and parts, agricultural machinery, the environmental industry, energy conservation, and shipbuilding. The Japanese government said Vietnam continued to be an important partner for Japan's Official Development Assistance (ODA), as Sang expressed appreciation for the signing of the Exchange of Notes for the second half of fiscal year 2013. This involved five projects in Vietnam worth 120 billion yen (1.18 billion dollars).
The two countries agreed to strengthen cooperation in promoting the development and operation of infrastructure in Vietnam, to cover railways, roads, seaports, key airports, water supplies and sewerage systems and water-resource development. Japan said it was committed to continue cooperating with Vietnam on improving its North-South railway system and the construction of urban railways.
They also agreed on the effective implementation of the Vietnam Automated Cargo Clearance System and Vietnam Customs Intelligent Database System (VNACCS/VCIS) project and decided to actively promote public-private partnership in response to big demands for infrastructure.
The two countries vowed to continue to cooperate on the implementation of the Vietnam – Japan Joint Initiative, Phase 5, on improving Vietnam's investment climate to promote Japanese investment in Vietnam, and to double two-way trade by 2020.
As Vietnam expressed appreciation for the relaxation of procedures on Vietnamese shrimp and fruit exportation to Japan, the Japanese government welcomed the open-market policy of Vietnam for Japan apples.
The two sides welcomed the signing of the Record of Discussion on Cooperation between the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan yesterday.
On the project involving a second nuclear power plant in Ninh Thuan Province, the two sides confirmed they would continue to work together for its implementation. They also agreed to work on the implementation of a model project on generating power from industrial waste in Ha Noi, which is being carried out by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation (Nedo).
The Japanese government said it was committed to continue extending assistance to enable Vietnam to respond to climate change.
As regards eco-city development, Vietnam and Japan agreed to coordinate for the effective implementation of the Memorandum of Cooperation for Promoting Implementation of Eco-city Project in Vietnam which was signed in October 2013.
The Japanese said they would provide continued support to Vietnam in capacity building and improvement of legal systems covering urban development.
Sang noted the signing yesterday of a memorandum of cooperation in the field of health care between Vietnam's Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan, as he thanked Japan for its continued support for Vietnam's health sector. The two countries agreed to enhance cooperation between their respective agencies handling social security and social welfare. This includes sharing Japan's experience in public-health insurance and preparations for an ageing society.
Both sides said they recognised the importance of cooperation in the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases, including cancer and lifestyle diseases. They also welcomed cooperative achievements in human resource development in health care.
The two sides decided to pursue to hold the Fourth Vietnam – Japan Joint Committee on Science and Technology at the earliest possible time in Vietnam. The Vietnamese said they appreciated Japan's support for capacity building for Vietnamese science and technology institutions.
They said they intended to promote joint research projects and training of students and experts within the frameworks of the Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development and the e-Asia Joint Research Program.
The two sides welcomed the signing of a Strategic Cooperation Programme on education between the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan.
The Japanese said they would actively support Vietnam in human-resource development, assist in the promotion of Japanese language education and help the development of Vietnam's vocational skills.
The two sides decided to strengthen the development of human resources and legal frameworks related to the construction sector. This was in line with the implementation of a document signed in June last year.
They also welcomed the fact that the first batch of eligible Vietnamese nurses and certified care-workers would arrive in Japan in June and confirmed they would aim for the smooth and effective acceptance of future candidates. Sang said he was hoping Japan would also accept technical interns from Vietnam in the areas of agriculture and fisheries, processing of agricultrual and fishery products and construction.
The two sides said they intended to accelerate discussions on the establishment of a dialogue framework to promote cultural cooperation and people-to-people exchanges.
Japan and Vietnam also vowed to promote tourism between the two countries, with Sang welcoming the relaxation of visa requirements by Japan last July and Abe expressing appreciation for the unilateral visa exemption extended by Vietnam to Japan in 2004.
The two sides reaffirmed that they would strengthen cooperation at regional and international forums, including the United Nations, the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation Forum (Apec), the Asia-Europe Meeting (Asem), the East Asia Summit (EAS), Asean+3, Asean Defence Minister's Meeting Plus (ADMM+) and the Asean Regional Forum (ARF).
The Vietnamese welcomed Abe's initiative to consult with Asean countries on holding an informal meeting between Japan and Asean, which would involve ministers in charge of defence, on security issues, including disaster prevention.
Abe, for his part, welcomed the idea that Vietnam was considering convening a third Expanded Asean Maritime Forum this year.
The two sides said they intended to work closely in negotiations for the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).
Prime Minister Abe praised Vietnam's efforts towards settling issues, including those in the area of maritime security based on the principle of the rule of law.

Torvalds Releases Kernel 2.6.25: GPL Only Restriction Imposed
Linus Torvalds has released the new 2.6.25 kernel just slightly behind schedule. Besides improvements to the CFS scheduler and a plethora of new drivers, the kernel also introduces a political aspect: it debars non-GPLd USB drivers.
Linus Torvalds actually wanted to release version 2.6.25 last weekend, but the large number of patches caused Torvalds and the developer team to wait another couple of days before going for the release, and to introduce an intermediate pre-release. The final release is now here and it considerably boost the range of supported hardware. Many lines of code introduced various improvements for the fairly recent Mac80211 WLAN stack including the new "Ath5k " driver for Atheros WLAN chips, as a successor to the Madwifi driver. The new driver is dual licensed under the GPL and the ISC license, a simplified BSD license, compared to Madwifi which never made the kernel due to proprietary components. "rtl8180" now supports the RTL8180 and RTL8185 WLAN chips by Realtek. Support for chips that support the fast Draft N standard has been introduced and no longer has an experimental tag.
Another fairly recent kernel component has been reworked, the Completely Fair Scheduler, which has been optimized for realtime environments. The SMACK security framework is completely new. It promises improved handling compared to SELinux. A patch that allowed the kernel to use a differentiated system description table (DSDT) in the initial ramdisk has been removed. This re-introduces the kernel's reliance on the DSDT information in the computer BIOS which are often erroneous.
A political dimension has been added in the form of a controversial change to USB support. Developer Kroah-Hartman pushed through his change outlawing proprietary USB drivers. This has been implemented in the form of the USB kernel driver "EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL" flag which has to exist to export required interfaces. This means that drivers will need to be GPLd or released under a compatible license to make the grade. The kernel had a similar patch previously, but it was removed in favor of better hardware support.
The enhanced "ext4" filesystem is not yet suitable for production use and is included in the kernel mainly for test and development purposes. Among other features it includes large file and large filesystem support, along with journal checksums that log changes to the filesystem and thus allow data to be restored after a crash. Progress has been made with respect to the x86 and x86_64 branch merges. New drivers have also been introduced for the network and audio subsystems..
The changelog has an extensive list of changes. As usual, the new kernel is available either as a patch, or as a complete source code package from the kernel.org site.

Keith Urban's promotional tour for his new album gathered steam on Tuesday (16Nov10) - he performed two surprise shows at train stations along America's East Coast.
The country rocker is set to release his new record Get Closer later this month (Nov10) and pulled into New York's Penn Station to put on an impromptu gig for commuters.
He headed onto Philadelphia, Pennsylvania's 30th Street Station and played another six songs for a huge crowd.
Urban then hopped on a train to perform an acoustic set for 50 fans who had won a competition.
Before his bizarre gig, the star told People.com, "I've never performed on a train. I'm not even sure how I'll be able to stand!"

Every minute, at least one woman dies from pregnancy or childbirth complications while twenty more suffer injury, infection, or disease. Despite medical advances and years of national and international policy declarations, this tragic situation remains particularly severe in developing countries.
This book draws together insights and experiences of development practitioners, policymakers, academic experts, and private sector partners to describe the Women's Health Initiative (WHI). A public-private partnership based in India, the WHI took a new approach to solving the apparently intractable problem of poor women's health. The observations and analyses in this volume describe how the WHI implemented a project that would make a real difference in women's lives, while meeting private sector commercial goals.
By opening the project to independent assessment, the WHI articulated new standards for best practice in publicprivate partnership, including such issues as communications, objective setting, ongoing partnership management, and real health outcomes. While helping the WHI grow and expand to other regions, these standards can also inform and shape other effective public-private partnerships in the future.More Reviews and Recommendations

NOTICE- Due to a very high volume of unreliable and flaky models I'm currently on hiatus from shooting. I'm still available for select paid assignments which will require a paid deposit before the shoot is confirmed.
My humble beginnings as a photographer started on a tropical island filled with gorgeous and exotic women. My scenery isn't quite as nice these days now that I'm located in and around Virginia... but now that I'm settled in I'm looking to get more involved in new projects. I'm open to portfolio building as long as there's a talent makeup artist and wardrobe attached to the shoot... but one on one TFP is reserved only for a select few models that are above and beyond the rest.
If a model is more than 45 minutes late for a shoot and not responding to calls or texts, the shoot will be canceled. Models can reschedule the shoot for a $50 fee.

Many of life's memorable moments can be brought to mind just by hearing a favorite song. Consider Sam Cooke's protest song, "A Change Is Gonna Come [6]," and the ways it evokes the civil rights crisis of the early 1960s, or John Lennon's song of peace, "Imagine [7]," which has as a point of reference the Vietnam War. These and many other songs not only encapsulate moments of the human experience but also give voice to a social critique.
Attuned to Social Crisis
Speaking to power through song was a common practice among the prophets of Israel. In Isaiah 5:1-5 [9], the prophet who writes switches to the role of ballad-singer, introducing his listeners to a song titled "My Dearest Friend's Vineyard." The ballad begins by narrating the story of a dear friend's vineyard on top of a fertile hill and recounts the labor that went into caring and maintaining this vineyard. "He dug it and cleared it of stones, and planted it with choice vines; he built a watchtower in the midst of it, and hewed out a wine vat in it; he expected it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes." (v. 2)
With poetic leaps, this song transports us to the top of a hill, inside of a watchtower, and through a wine vat. We are invited to linger on the long time-lapse of the planting season—from seedling to yielded grapes. Yet rather than languish in the nostalgia of country life, the ballad-singer moves us to the crisis of a vineyard yielding worthless sour grapes.
Following the song, the ballad-singer returns to a prophetic voice and identifies his listeners as the "inhabitants of Jerusalem and people of Judah." (v.3) Indeed, the themes expressed in his narrative ballad would have resonated deeply with the cultural life of the prophet's Judean audience. This was a song of and for the Judeans.
Speaking on behalf of the God of Israel, the prophet interprets for his listeners the song's underlying message. The crisis of worthless sour grapes is decoded as acts of oppression and injustice in Judean society (v. 7). As a result, God, the vineyard owner, will no longer attend to the upkeep of the vineyard: "I will make it a waste; it shall not be pruned or hoed, and it shall be overgrown with briers and thorns; I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it." (v.5, NRSV)
Oppression and injustice were not solely issues endemic to the ruling class in Judean society. Isaiah's lyrics emerged in an age of unprecedented cultural, social, and economic conflict. By the end of the 8th century B.C.E., the Assyrian Empire [10] had conquered the northern kingdom of Israel and coerced the southern kingdom of Judah into becoming a vassal state. Those resisting Assyrian rule were faced with violent military conquest and the dehumanizing experience of exile. Indeed, such hostile conditions had the capacity to bring the worst out in Israel's rulers, as in the case of Ahaz King of Judah in 2 Kings 16 [11].
Friends of the Neighborhood
Isaiah, the ballad-singer, sings of a particular friend and his failed vine crop to speak about broader issues of injustice and oppression. His prophetic gaze required that his listeners look first to "my dearest friend," the most vital of all human relationships, in order to understand the wider workings of oppression in elite Judean society.
If, through broader networks of power, injustice is linked, it is no less true that injustice is encountered locally in neighborhood markets, schools, churches, and even corner fast-food joints. Today it is useful to begin not with the unseen oppressive power networks in our society but with their effects on those closest to us. Just ask the single parent serving dollar ice cream at a favorite fast-food hangout if he or she would like better hourly wages.
While fast food CEOs average a daily salary of $25,000 [12], workers at fast-food companies in New York City make only 25 percent of the money they need to survive. Single parents earning the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour are, as Jillian Berman [13] of the Huffington Post describes, not able to survive even in America's cheapest counties. The Wider Opportunities for Women [14] estimates that women are 50 percent more likely than men to earn the minimum wage. Compound this with the status of single motherhood and the needs of the household intensify exponentially.
Dependent on minimum wages are children, who like any other child in the U.S., deserve access to healthy food, clothing, affordable shelter, and descent education. Within the current reconfigurations taking place in the U.S. economy, the new modes of production continue to privilege those like the CEOs of fast-food companies. Yet, as Isaiah's ballad reminds us, these wider realities have a local impact on the everyday friend, who routinely rises every morning to try and make ends meet on meager wages. The current vineyard of the fast-food industry has not stopped producing sour grapes, which is the massive sale of cheap empty calories [15] at the wage of $7.25 an hour.
Listening to music, spending time with friends, and the fruit of the vine would rightly describe our society's most familiar hour: Happy Hour. However for many minimum wage workers in the fast-food industry, the hours of their working lives are far from happy. Their song has become the ballad of sour grapes, wherein they sing, "he expected it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes." (v. 2)

For a second year, producers Ross Mollison and Vallejo Gantner have graced that home of Pizzeria Uno and Abercrombie and Fitch with a beer garden and a Spiegeltentan early-20th-century traveling festival tent, a little Big Top of teak, mirrors, and velvet. In addition to rock concerts and DJ sets, the tent's programming also includes two circus-style cabaret shows: Absinthe and a curiosity from Montreal titled La Vie.
Absinthe, which debuted last summer, easily proves the more enjoyable of the two. Though it retains only one of last year's actsa nearly indescribable juggling/comedy routine involving knives, pogo sticks, and a really reprehensible wigthe lively and louche tone remains unaltered. This year, the jugglera Brooklyn nativeshares the stage with performers from Morocco, Belgium, Australia, Germany, English resort towns, and the Canadian wilds.
Like last year, several performers and at least one disembodied voice split the hosting duties. First, female impersonator Paul Capsis (pronounced "capsize") appeared to introduce the proceedings and channel Marlene Dietrichwho's rumored to have appeared in this very Spiegeltent. But he soon ceded the mic to the Gazillionaire and his Shirley Templeesque sidekick, Penny. This allegedly Armenian comedy duo practices a take-no-prisoners form of audience participation that includes kissing, fondling, and reading aloud from a critic's notes. (Not mine, thankfully.) At one juncture, the Gazillionaire really put a foot in his moutha spectator's foot, sans sock or shoe, leading Penny to demurely remark, "You just totally mouth-fucked that guy." Though these antics grated, the pair later redeemed themselves with a unitarded Cirque de Soleil parody.
Alas, a Cirque de Soleil vibe did occasionally arise. Two aerialists and a contortionist curled and twirled very beautifully, but rather interchangeably. On the other hand, hometown favorite Julie Atlas Muz gave a singular performance. Nipples all aglitter, she merged sexy and silly in a pair of burlesque routines. And while the jaw-dropping physiques of last year's charmers the English Gents did not make an appearance, strap acrobat Adil Rida and pajama-clad hand balancer Olaf Triebel provided ample masculine eye candy.
Hard acts to follow, so perhaps it shouldn't surprise that the antics of the late show La Vie seemed rather tired by comparison. This absurdist vaudeville arrives from Montreal, created by the 7 Fingers. In a not altogether felicitous twist on the standard cabaret, the Fingers apply a narrative frame to their circus acts. Snippy host Sebastien Soldevila announces that we are all dead and have been transported to Purgatory. (Does he really want us to equate his show with suffering and torment?) The various performers then re-enact their earthly sins and atone for them via physical feats. Though easily as dazzling as the acts in Absinthe, the heavy-handed framing device renders them rather less funthough Isabelle Chasse, playing a lunatic, does provide light comic relief when she uses her straitjacket as a jump rope.

Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: The clerk of a nationalised bank was arrested on charges of stealing Rs.1.5 lakh from the bank here on Tuesday. According to the police, Senior Manager Rathinasamy had lodged a complaint that Rs.1.5 lakh was missing from the bank's White's Road branch after a sum of Rs. 1.14 crore was counted. Though counting machines were used, a team of about 15 members supervised the process.
A special team of the Anna Salai police investigated the case. After preliminary enquiries, the team narrowed down on clerk M. Arumugam (32). On interrogation, he confessed to have taken away the money. The cash was found following a search at his house in Thiru Vi Ka Nagar.
Arumugam was produced in a city court and remanded to judicial custody.
