From the Publisher"A fine and useful book. The narrative offers numerous insights, both implicit and explicit; about the difficulties facing a recently independent Mexico, from its infrastructure to its politics. What is most interesting, however, is the narrator himself."
—Richard Warren, Director of the Latin American Studies Program at St. Joseph's University.
"Heller does not only focus on the Maya ruins but also provides unique observations about indigenous society. The editor has done a commendable job translating this book and providing an introduction and annotations that help the reader place the work in its context."
—Jürgen Buchenau is the author of In the Shadow of the Giant: The Making of Mexico's Central American Policy, 1876-1930.

text: Coulter: Kerry display wasn't good enough Published 20/03/2013 By Kevin Hughes Tweet DOWN stalwart Benny Coulter was glad to see the back of Tralee on Saturday evening following an under-par team performance that plunges the Mournemen into a three-way tie with Kerry and Mayo at the bottom of Division Two.It's 19 years since Down last beat Kerry in the League and, while the visitors were buoyed by a two-point victory over Mayo and a solid performance against Cork, momentum was sorely lacking for this one.With just one point scored in the first 35 minutes, Down eventually woke up in the second half but it proved too little, too late, and Kerry could afford the luxury of a second half penalty miss in a three-point victory.A downbeat Coulter didn't mince his words after the encounter."We were laboured, we were lazy, slow and sluggish," he said."That was terrible, probably the worst half of football I've been involved in this last five or six years"."It boils down to a few things that didn't go our way before the game. We lost Dan (McCartan) 10 minutes beforehand and Aidan Carr picked up an injury too."They've both got great experience and have been playing well for us the last three or four games so it left us a bit quiet at the back."While Down outscored Kerry in the second half thanks to an opportunistic Donal O'Hare goal, the Mayobridge man said they had simply been left with too much to do."The lads showed a bit of character and stood up to it for the second-half but we can't give Kerry a seven-point lead at half-time and expect to win the game."We had four or five scoring chances in the first half and didn't take them if we'd gone in three or four down instead of seven it would have given us a better chance."Asked about Down's rising star Donal O'Hare, who was the Mournemen's top scorer on the night (1-2), the 30-year-old hinted that the torch had passed."My days are numbered by the looks of things," he said with a smile, adding: "You can put that in the paper if you want.""Donal is a good lad and he'll be about in football for the next 10 or 12 years. He missed a few frees in the first half but he'll get them next day, there's no doubt about that."Questioned on the opposition, Coulter said Kerry are written off at your peril and feels there's still plenty left in the tank despite losing their opening four League games with an average of just eight points per game."Kerry are still a good side, they'll have 'the Gooch' (Colm Cooper) back and (Paul) Galvin starting over the next couple of weeks and with Declan and Darran O'Sullivan and big 'Star' (Kieran Donaghy) they'll definitely be there or thereabouts come the end of the summer," he said."Big respect to them, they keep turning out even with a lot of All-Ireland medals in the back pocket. I've no doubt they'll be in the last four in the Championship."As for Down's aspirations for the remainder of the League, Coulter said four points were the only target."We want to win our next two games to give us a big chance to stay in this division," he said."You want to be playing against the likes of the Kerrys and the Dublins and big boys like that and so we'll look forward to Dublin on Saturday night."

Senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley today said that the relationship of Rahul Gandhi with Amethi is "nominal" and it remains one of the most backward constituencies in the country.
"Despite having been a family stronghold for decades, the relationship of Rahul Gandhi with Amethi is nominal and it remains one of the most backward constituencies," Jaitley said in his blog. Expressing his views about Amethi, he said, "Infrastructure in Amethi is inadequate. It is a constituency where internal roads are not the object of envy. Many industrial units are sick. It is a constituency of people living in inadequate houses."
Jaitley said that his party is determined to put up a fight in Amethi. "The tragedy of Amethi is that the voters were never presented with an alternative option. The BJP is determined to put up a fight for Amethi." On BJP's nominee from Amethi Smriti Irani, he said, "Smriti Irani is a formidable candidate. Whenever her vehicle reaches any village it is greeted with loud cheers for her, the BJP and Modi."
Saying that there was a strong anti-incumbency against sitting MP Rahul Gandhi, the BJP leader said that, "Tokenism is never a substitute for substantive performance in a constituency. Family ties are not the alternative to improvement in the quality of life of the electorate." However, he did not deny that Aam Aadmi Party can divide the votes.
"We must convince the electorate that a vote for AAP will only divide the anti-incumbency. Let Amethi be an electoral battle right till the last vote is cast," he said.

Aaron Hernandez Already Causing Problems In Prison
Aaron Hernandez has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Odin Lloyd. Many people are happy that Hernandez has been removed from the rest of society. However, it appears that Aaron Hernandez has already gotten himself into more trouble.
It was recently revealed on Yahoo! Sports that Aaron Hernandez has been involved in illegal activity while in jail. Apparently, Aaron Hernandez has been assigned the role of lookout during prison fights. This means that Aaron Hernandez watches out for guards while other inmates settle disputes with their fists. Aaron Hernandez is truly a lost soul, and it's evident that he needs some mental help.
This is not the first time that Aaron Hernandez has caused trouble while in jail. In fact, last year while he was awaiting his trial, Aaron Hernandez was involved in a nasty altercation with another inmate. Hernandez savagely assaulted the other prisoner, and he was then locked in solitary confinement. Ofspirit mind and body, Daniel Amen says Hernandez is not well.
Aaron Hernandez may be serving life in jail, but he is still awaiting another trial for separate allegations. It is believed that Aaron Hernandez is responsible for other murders that took place in 2013, in Boston. NFL fans cannot believe what Aaron Hernandez has done with his life. The man was once a highly rated offensive player, and he was making millions of dollars for playing a game. However, Hernandez must spend his entire life in prison, and he could potentially get the death penalty if he is found guilty of another murder.

With Linux vs. Because of Linux
I'm looking to compare how much money is made with Linux, vs. how much is made because of it. While I know it'll be hard to find the former and impossible to determine the latter, I think comparing the two will still be revealing.
What I'm looking to do is unpack the a distinction Eric Raymond began making many years ago, between sale value and its use value. The number that matters most, of course, is the latter. Even if it's not entirely measurable, I'd like to see some ideas about getting close.
Got some?
Doc Searls is Senior Editor of Linux Journal
I enjoyed the quote from the
I enjoyed the quote from the most recent issue:
"The greatest shortcoming of the human race is the inability to understand the exponential function." -- Albert A. Bartlett
And to build on it, I would pose the question: Would you do something small, and insignificant, if the direct results were minor but there were massive exponential side effects?
-- FLR or flrichar is a superfan of Linux Journal, and goofs around in the LJ IRC Channel
Econometric Model
When you want to measure the economic value of something that seems to be intangible, you try to describe the situation with an econometric model. That model has variables that describe different components such as a+b+c= value. The variables may vary like 2a+4b(cubed)+the square root of c = value.
Here is the wiki link for econometrics
Doc, do you know anybody at Harvard that is in the economics department?
This is a complex question. Econometrics is the tool for the job.
Thanks! Good advice. Appreciated.
I'm sure I'm not more than 2 degrees from somebody at Harvard or MIT who knows.
Doc Searls is Senior Editor of Linux Journal
Two degrees plus or minus
I Googled Mit and Harvard for econometrics and the Harvard Economics Department has two professors that specialize in econometrics.
Susan Athey
You will have to describe all the factors that relate to Linux for each of your questions to build these models. I would dedicate a page to each to build your list and get as much input from the Linux community as you can to describe these questions. If a major factor is left out, the model will be incorrect.
Think of it in terms of describing a photograph or image.
blind to abundance
We are blind to abundance.
My 12 year old would say 'you mean there was no internet when you were 12?'
Infrastructure is what we take for granted and so we are blind to it. One would have to experience lack of infrastructure to be present to the 'loss' that is in abundance when 'present'. In this context the 'loss' we would experience would be its 'use value' and not necessarily 'sale value'. The 'loss' experienced is the loss of 'value' that is created 'because' of that the abundance of infrastructure and not the infrastructure itself.
And it is necessary for us to be blind to our infrastructure sometimes, it frees us to create stuff without managing the infrastructure. My 2 year old does not manage the 'infrastructure' of her current living conditions. It is our job as parents to feed her and provide her a safe place to sleep. Our 2 year old then can dance and laugh and be a child and create memories of happy childhood (I hope) because she 'trusts' the 'infrustructure' we as parents provide. (I think mother nature arranged this kind of relationship of abundance).

Iron Man 3, the Shane Black-directed sequel to last year's phenomenal Avengers movie, is now available on iTunes and comes complete with iTunes Extras. What's more, a JARVIS app is coming next week for iPhone as well. Jarvis was originally Tony Stark's - very human - butler. When Marvel made the Iron Man movie, however, they re-imagined JARVIS as an artificially intelligent computer system to run Tony's house, and eventually his armor. Think Super Siri. While an actual JARVIS-class digital assistant with holographic multi dynamic gesture support is still the realm of Sci-Fi, here's what the iPhone app will do. From Marvel:
Iron Man 3 is coming to movie theaters everywhere this may, and coming with it is Iron Man 3 for iOS by Gameloft. Simon and I had a chance to go hands on with it at GDC, and while he loved the fast-paced gameplay, they had me at Hulk Buster armor. And Silver Sentinel.
Marvel and Gameloft fantastic with their blend of mainstream movie design and old-style comic book lore. It gets the wide audience, but also makes longtime fans of Old Shell-head smile their golden Avengers off.
Excelsior, guys! Can't wait until this lands in the App Store!
The last Iron Man 3 trailer looked disturbingly like a Dark Knight Rises rehash and while the new one is slightly more fun, it still doesn't show much of the humor of the first two films. Given how belabored and off-key Dark Knight Rises was, I'm nervous.
Still, it's Old Shell Head looking even more Golden Avenger than usual, with War Machine getting the Iron Patriot paint on, and the often superb Ben Kingsley crammed into the many rings of the Mandarin, so while a lot could go wrong, there's still every chance the mighty Marvel movie machine gets this right. Or right enough that, come repulsor and uni-beam time, I won't care.
Iron Man 3 lands in theaters on April 25 or May 3, depending on where you live. In the meantime, there's tons of great content to load up on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. Here are some of my favorites.
Iron Man 2 for iPhone -- based on the upcoming Marvel movie about the Golden Avenger -- is now widely available in the iTunes App Store [$6.99 - iTunes link].
You can play as either Iron Man (fast and agile) proper or as War Machine (powerful), and there's a variety of other armor to try out as well, including the Mark IV, Mark VI, Stealth, and underwater.
Gameloft Live is supported for achievements. Check out more screenshots after the break, and if you try it out let us know what you think!
Ok, well you really can't control Iron Man, but the lucky French can use their iPhone to control their soon to be released Iron Man Blu-Ray disc. This title will be the first to utilize NetBlender's BD Touch technology that allows your Blu-ray movie to interact with your iPhone and iPod Touch.

1st Sikh in decades graduates Army officer school
SAN ANTONIO The soldiers in standard-issue fatigues and combat boots stood side-by-side repeating their creed: "I am an American soldier. I am a warrior and a member of a team. I serve the people of the United States and live the Army values ...."
Capt. Tejdeep Singh Rattan was no different except that he wore a full beard and black turban, the first Sikh in a generation allowed to complete U.S. Army basic officer training without sacrificing the articles of his faith. He completed the nine-week training Monday after Army officials made an exemption to a policy that has effectively prevented Sikhs from enlisting since 1984.
"I'm feeling very humbled. I'm a soldier," said the 31-year-old dentist, smiling after the ceremony at Fort Sam Houston. "This has been my dream."
Rattan had to get a waiver from the Army to serve without sacrificing the unshorn hair mandated by his faith. An immigrant from India who arrived in New York as a teenager, Rattan said he hopes his military commitment will allow him to give back to his adopted home country and will help diminish prejudice Sikhs sometimes face in the U.S.
The Army in 1984 eliminated an exemption that had previously allowed Sikhs to maintain their articles of faith while serving, but officials can issue individual waivers to the uniform policy after considering the effects on safety and discipline, said Army spokesman George Wright. Only a handful of such individual religious exemptions are ever granted.
Rattan and Dr. Kamaljeet Singh Kalsi, who will attend basic training this summer after completing an emergency medicine fellowship, are the first Sikhs to receive exemptions in more than 25 years.
Rattan - who received a master's degree in engineering before pursuing a dental education- and Kalsi both offer health care skills that are in high demand in an Army stretched by wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Rattan said he encountered no trouble from fellow soldiers during training.
"The Army is all about what you have to offer. If you're sitting back there, not doing anything, they're definitely going to talk about you. But if you're up there running with them, you have good scores, you run neck-and-neck with them, they love you," he said. "I made a lot of friends."
1st Sgt. Jeffrey DeGarmo said he made sure the officers-in-training in his unit understood that Rattan wasn't a foreign national and had received the Army's permission to maintain his beard and turban. Once the other soldiers understood that, there were no issues, he said.
"It went pretty well," DeGarmo said. "I think he did an outstanding job adjusting."
During training, Rattan wore a helmet over the small turban, which he doesn't remove, and was able to successfully create a seal with his gas mask despite the beard, resolving the Army's safety concerns, said Harsimran Kaur, the Sikh Coalition's legal director.
Rattan also worked with an Army tailor to create an insignia patch normally worn on soldiers' berets that could be affixed to his black turban, she said.

Sony hones its TV efforts

Samsung, Sony join forces on LCDsMarch 9, 2004
Sharp attuned to bigger LCD displaysJanuary 9, 2004
The Japanese giant is raising the stakes in the TV market by incorporating silicon developed in-house to improve its picture and sound quality. At the same time, the company is tinkering with items like the remote control, the TV stand and the interface to set itself apart.
Evidence for the amplified effort can be seen in the sets that the company is showing off at CEATEC, a large IT show taking place here this week.
For example, the Qualia 006, which is destined for the U.S. market, is a 70-inch rear projection TV powered by a liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) chip created by Sony. Intel and others have had to postpone their LCOS chips because of technological problems.
The set, which will cost under $10,000, is slated for release early in 2005. "Hopefully, before the Super Bowl," said Mina Naito, a Sony spokeswoman.
Other new higher-end TV lines don't come with Triluminos, but they do come with some of the other Qualia 005 features, including the Wega Engine, a Sony-designed signal processor for assembling high-definition signals; the Emotion Engine, the graphics chip used in PlayStation 2; and the S Master, an audio chip. A navigation interface adopted from the PSX is also featured with these TVs.
These sets also all feature a remote control that looks something like a flip phone. When the remote is folded up, the user can only access four buttons (controling volume, channel and power; the fourth is a "mute" button) and a knob that lets consumers switch from TV to DVD, or other devices. Flip it open, and the morass of the modern-day channel changer comes into view.
Other industrial design tidbits revolve around new chassis that give a furniture-like look to the TVs.
Right now, Sony trails rival Sharp in market share for TVs in Japan. Sony holds about 20 percent of the market but wants to boost it to 30 to 35 percent. In the United States, a variety of companies have begun to make LCD TVs as a result of the consumer electronics explosion.
Unlike most other manufacturers, Sony makes a substantial number of the internal components for its TVs and manufactures the sets itself. Still, not everything is homegrown. Sony obtains its LCD glass from outside manufacturers, Naito said. A Samsung-Sony joint venture on LCD panels will start to crank out panels next year, but Sony will continue to also buy panels from third parties, Naito added.

Study shows increase in non-marital babies
By Laura Weber, Michigan Public Radio Network
LANSING, MI – The percentage of babies born out of wedlock in Michigan has gone up almost ten percent in the past 15 years. That's according to a new study released by Michigan League for Human Services.
But the study also says teen pregnancies are down in the state, as are the number of women who don't receive prenatal care. Jane Zehnder-Merrell is with Michigan League for Human Services. She says that if care doesn't begin at the beginning insure more healthy births, kids are not only in jeopardy at birth, but in those early childhood years. She says that will insure more children will be successful in school.
Zehnder-Merrell says recent budget cut proposals to Medicaid from the state Senate threaten accessibility of prenatal care, and could hurt progress the state has made.

A mathematical pattern of movement called a Lvy walk describes the foraging behavior of animals from sharks to honey bees, and now for the first time has been shown to describe human hunter-gatherer movement as well. The study, led by University of Arizona anthropologist David Raichlen, was published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The Lvy walk pattern appears to be ubiquitous in animals, similar to the golden ratio, phi, a mathematical ratio that has been found to describe proportions in plants and animals throughout nature.
"Scientists have been interested in characterizing how animals search for a long time," Raichlen said, "so we decided to look at whether human hunter-gatherers use similar patterns."
Funded by a National Science Foundation grant awarded to study co-author Herman Pontzer, Raichlen and his colleagues worked with the Hadza people of Tanzania.
The Hadza are one of the last big-game hunters in Africa, and one of the last groups on Earth to still forage on foot with traditional methods. "If you want to understand human hunter-gatherer movement, you have to work with a group like the Hadza," Raichlen said.
Members of the tribe wore wristwatches with GPS units that tracked their movement while on hunting or foraging bouts. The GPS data showed that while the Hadza use other movement patterns, the dominant theme of their foraging movements is a Lvy walk the same pattern used by many other animals when hunting or foraging.
"Detecting this pattern among the Hadza, as has been found in several other species, tells us that such patterns are likely the result of general foraging strategies that many species adopt, across a wide variety of contexts," said study co-author Brian Wood, an anthropologist at Yale University who has worked with the Hadza people since 2004.
"This movement pattern seems to occur across species and across environments in humans

Several agencies have made projections regarding the 2014 Lok Sabha elections through pre-poll surveys. Here we take a look at the surveys of various agencies, the similarity and differences in their predictions and try to arrive at a reasonable conclusion.
Lets have a look at the BJP strongholds first.
Gujarat: In Gujarat, C Voter predicts 23 seats for the BJP. CSDS predicts 24, AC Nielsen 21 and Hansa 22. There is unanimity in thought: all agencies believe BJP will sweep the Gujarat elections. In 2009, BJP had won 15 seats and Congress 11, so the Congress tally is set to drastically reduce.
Madhya Pradesh: Madhya Pradesh will also see a surge in BJP's seats. C Voter says BJP will win 26 of 29 seats, CSDS predicts 26 too, AC Nielsen 21 and Hansa 22. Congress is supposed to win 3-5 seats according to all agencies in this state. This is a significant fall for the Congress party, from the 12 seats it got in 2009. The BSP may win 1 seat according to AC Nielsen.
Rajasthan: Rajasthan is a major BJP stronghold after it swept to power by 4/5ths majority in the recently held assembly elections there. This election, C Voter predicts that BJP win maintain its firm grip, winning 21 seats. CSDS predicts a near-total sweep - 24 out of 25 seats. AC Nielsen believes BJP will win 20 seats and Hansa says 21. These results show a major electoral reversal for the Congress in Rajasthan, which won 20 seats there in 2009.
Now we shall look at other important states
Uttar Pradesh: This is perhaps the most important state in any general election, with its 80 seats. The 2009 elections saw a split mandate here, with Congress winning 21 seats, BJP 10 seats, SP 23 seats, BSP 20, RLD 5 seats and others 1 seat. This time tough, all agencies predict a very good result for the BJP, and near-annihilation of the Congress. C Voter thinks Congress will win just 4 seats, CSDS 5 seats, AC Nielsen 11 seats and Hansa 7 seats. Conversely, the BJP is predicted to win a very high number of seats - 42, 46, 38 and 53 according to the four agencies respectively.
Bihar: The BJP broke its alliance with the JD(U) in Bihar, but this seems to be benefiting the BJP and hurting the JD(U). All agencies predict BJP winning at least 19 seats. C Voter says 20 seats, CSDS 22 seats, AC Nielsen 19 seats and Hansa 21 seats. The JD(U) will shrink to single digits according to all 4 agencies. The Congress, too will do rather badly in Bihar.
Chhattisgarh: The BJP won all but one seat here in 2009 (10) but it is likely to lose a couple of seats to the Congress this time, according to C Voter. AC Nielsen predicts 9 seats for the BJP and Hansa says 8.
Jharkhand: Jharkhand has 14 seats, and all agencies predict at least a retention of seats for BJP. C Voter says 8 seats, AC Nielsen and Hansa say 10 seats.
Haryana: AAP is contesting seats in Haryana, but it will be the BJP which will spoil the Congress' party here. The Congress, which won 9 seats here in 2009, will shrink to a maximum of 3 seats (Hansa). C Voter predicts 2 seats and AC Nielsen 1. Only C Voter thinks AAP will a seat in Haryana.
Himachal Pradesh: Most predictions show BJP and Congress retaining their number (3 and 1) in Himachal Pradesh, but AC Nielsen thinks BJP will win all 4 seats in the state.
Karnataka: BJP is set to make a comeback in Karnataka thanks to the reinduction of BS Yedyurappa into the party. The wheels of fortune have turned a full circle in Karnataka. In 2009, BJP won 19 seats and Congress just 6 seats. Then BJP lost the assembly election by a landslide. However, C Voter predicts that BJP will recover to win 15 seats, AC Nielsen says 15 seats and Hansa 16 seats. The notable exception is CSDS which predicts just 10 seats for the BJP, and 15 for the Congress.
Tamil Nadu: J Jayalalithaa's AIADMK is set to back up its strong showing in the previous assembly elections with a great increase in Lok Sabha seats in 2014. The lowest prediction for AIADMK comes from CSDS, which predicts 18 seats. C Voter predicts 25 seats, Nielsen 21 seats and Hansa 25 seats. These elections will mark a reversal of fortunes for the DMK, which won 18 seats in 2009. The BJP will open its account in Tamil Nadu according to CSDS (8 seats), AC Nielsen (7) and Hansa (3). No other party - PMK, MDMK, CPI or CPM will be able to make much impact.
Telanagana and Seemandhra: Telangana will be a stronghold of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti, which will win between 7-13 seats according to various agencies. C Voter puts the figure highest at 13 seats. CSDS and Hamsa believe the TDP and Congress will also do fairly well in Telangana. AC Nielsen predicts 9 seats, a majority, for the Congress in Telangana.
In Seemandhra, the big gainer is the YSR Congress, projected to get 10 seats (Hansa) to 17 seats (C Voter and Nielsen) across all surveys. The TDP is also gaining big, with AC Nielsen putting the lowest figure at 7 and Hansa at 14. Congress, on the other hand will face a washout these elections, with a maximum projection of 1 seat by AC Nielsen and Hansa.
West Bengal: Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress (TMC) is set to gain in West Bengal, winning 25 to 28 seats in every survey. The Left Front will lose some more seats this time, as C Voter puts it at 14, CSDS 10, AC Nielsen 11 and Hansa 9. Congress will also lose between 1 to 4 seats from their tally of 6 in 2009, and BJP may win 1 seat here.
Maharashtra: The BJP and Shiv Sena are set to gain big if surveys are to be believed. BJP will win 14 (CSDS) to 19 seats (Hansa). Shiv Sena will walk away with 12 to 16 seats. The big loser in Maharashtra according to all surveys in Congress. C Voter predicts 7 seats, CSDS 10, AC Nielsen 8 and Hansa just 5. Congress won 17 out of 48 seats in Maharashtra in 2009.
Punjab: Punjab is one state where the results will not vary greatly from those in the 2009 polls. Congress and SAD are the biggest players here. C Voter predicts 7 seats for Congress and 4 for SAD, AC Nielsen 6 and 5 and Hansa 7 and 6. BJP is likely to win 2 seats.
Assam: Congress is set to gain a few seats in Assam, or at least retain the 7 seats they have. C Voter predicts 7 seats, AC Nielsen 8 seats and Hansa 11 seats. BJP may lose upto 2 seats.
Odisha: The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) will hold on to its mandate in Odisha. C Voter predicts 13 seats, CSDS 14 seats, AC Nielsen 17 seats and Hamsa 18 seats. The Congress is predicte d to win 5, 2, 2 and 3 seats by C Voter, CSDS, Nielsen and Hamsa respectively. The BJP may gain 0-5 seats in the state.
Kerala: Kerala has 20 seats and the BJP is not likely to win a single one. The Congress will win 8 (CSDS) to 14 (C Voter) seats. The Left Front may get 6-11 seats.
Jammu and Kashmir: The BJP and the PDP will gain 1-2 seats each in Jammu and Kashmir. The Congress will lose 1 seat according to C Voter, but gain 1 according to AC Nielsen. The National Conference is likely to reduce its tally from 3 to 1.
Other states: Goa is predicted to see a 1-1 tie between the BJP and Congress. In Tripura, the CPM will win both seats according to C Voter, while other agencies have made no predictions. The Sikkim Democratic Front will retain the sole seat in Sikkim. Mizoram's sole seat will go to Congress according to C-Voter. C-Voter also predicts a 1-1 tie between BJP and Congress in Arunachal Pradesh. The Manipur seat will go to Congress and in Nagaland, the Nagaland People's Front will win the sole seat.
C Voter predicts a total of 212 seats for the BJP in the 2014 elections. Congress will win just 81. Other agencies do not have survey results for all states. However, the Congress tally is dismal overall, even if we take the other agencies into account. A performance of above 100 seats is very unlikely according to all surveys. For the BJP, CSDS predicts 181 out of 450 seats, AC Nielsen 218 out of 535 seats and Hansa 208 out of 518 seats.
Thus, the BJP-led NDA is likely to form the next government, as long as they secure a few more alliances after the polls. The Congress will hit its lowest-ever electoral tally - a massive defeat.


text: Loud noise and no heat John B. • Watkinsville, GA • June 10, 2014 My Repair & Advice This was a total novice job which will be apparent: Managed not to kill myself getting the microwave off the wall over the stove. disassembled the housing and watched youtube videos on discharging the capacitor (there has got to be an easier way than trying to cause an explosion). Fortunately it had difused and no sparks touching the terminals. Removed the diode and capacitor and checked both with non-digital voltmeter. Both appeared dead but it is possible the capacitor was okay since you really need a digital reader I think. Ordered the two parts and bought a digital reader - ended up being about $70 in the end after tax shipping etc. (not including the digital meter). Tried the microwave and same problem. Then went and checked the magnetron - both magnets were cracked - Duh - should have checked that first. Ordered the magnetron - well over $100 with shipping -- install was pretty easy. Fortunately remembered where all the cords hooked to the terminals and found a place for all screws for housing and - wallha - it worked! Microwave now back in place. Took a total of 2 weeks with ordering, shipping and work schedule delays. Probably saved $200 on new microwave - plus there are not any local microwave repair people around.

Ex-official says notes were part of the job
Assessor left post to work for friend
Former San Diego County Assessor Greg Smith's relationship with Point Loma apartment magnate Conrad Prebys started long before Smith left elected office in midterm to go work for Prebys.
The two have been friends for 30 years. Smith regularly sent laudatory letters to Prebys and, in some cases, information on specific properties. In one case, Smith aided Prebys on a stalled development project.
"Rest assured, I am talking to Rick Sayre daily regarding Crestlake," Smith wrote in a Jan. 13, 2004, note to Prebys, obtained by The San Diego Union-Tribune under the California Public Records Act.
Sayre, who works for Prebys' company, Progress Management, sought assistance for a 545-home project proposed near Alpine.
Smith, known for responsive public service, sent notes and clippings to many citizens, including reporters, businesspeople and other elected officials. He considered it part of his role as a public official.
"It's my style," Smith said. "I do that all the time. It's part of my community outreach."
Government ethics expert Robert Stern with the Center for Governmental Studies in Los Angeles said the notes to Prebys raise concerns. It's likely something "the ordinary person wouldn't get in the normal course of business," Stern said.
"He was obviously currying favor, shall we say, or making himself useful, but not in a way that I think jeopardized any of the county business because it all was public information," Stern said. "I mean, he was basically schmoozing him."
Smith resigned Dec. 31 after 25 years as the county's assessor-recorder-clerk, a position that sets property values for tax purposes and oversees the recording of properties, births and marriages.
Smith said he never intended to leave office early but the job offer from Prebys, whom he calls "a great man," was too tempting. Smith was paid $182,000 annually at the county and is expected to be paid an annual pension of about $163,000.
Prebys has donated tens of millions of dollars over the years to Boys & Girls Clubs, The Old Globe, the San Diego Zoo and Scripps Mercy Hospital, among others.
Smith is director of property management and operations for Progress Management, based in Pacific Beach, and he reports directly to Prebys. The company owns and operates nearly 6,000 apartment homes and storage units.
While assessor, Smith said he gave Prebys information on properties that came up in conversations during regular lunches together at Trellises Garden Grille in Mission Valley. He emphasized that he only gave Prebys what was publicly available.
"I never, ever, recall him ever asking anything – any favors, any questions, anything about assessment issues," Smith said. "None was ever asked and none was ever given. . . . He never talked to me ever once about business or about appraisal or about property taxes."
Prebys did not return a call for comment.
Two properties mentioned in correspondence between the two men and which Smith said came up at lunch were 901 Hotel Circle S., where a Frog's Fitness Center is located, and a group of La Mesa apartments.

Foreign Ministers are expected to discuss the boundary issue
BEIJING: Visiting External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday said India would never tolerate any political anti-China activities by anyone in its territory.
Mr. Mukherjee made the remarks during talks with his Chinese counterpart Yang Jiechi. He reiterated the Indian government's persistent stance on the Tibet issue, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
Indian officials have previously reiterated the government's stance that the Tibet Autonomous Region is part of China's territory.
Boosting strategic ties
Mr. Mukherjee said India would make joint efforts with China to further the strategic bilateral ties.
"I am happy to discuss and share our common perception on bilateral, regional and international situations," Mr. Mukherjee told Mr. Yang in his opening remarks at their official talks here.
The Foreign Ministers are expected to discuss the boundary row and irritants surrounding it, and also review the progress in the talks between the Special Representatives of the two countries, who have conducted 11 rounds of negotiations.
Mr. Yang thanked India for sending relief materials worth $5 million to quake victims in western China. He noted that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as well as Mr. Mukherjee had written letters personally, expressing grief over the natural calamity, which claimed nearly 70,000 lives.
The meeting was attended by Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon and Ambassador Nirupama Rao.
Trade target
Earlier in the day, Mr. Mukherjee officially inaugurated the Consulate-General of India in the southern city of Guangzhou.
At the inauguration, Mr. Mukherjee said India was keen to learn from China's "remarkable success" in developing Special Economic Zones.
"The trade target of $60 billion by 2010 set by our two Prime Ministers is very likely to be surpassed before 2010," Mr. Mukherjee, who is on a four-day visit to China, said. Now the trade between the two is around $40 billion.
Mr. Mukherjee said Guangdong province, which accounts for one-third of China's total foreign trade, had always been at the forefront of the country's economic reform.
"There is tremendous interest in India to learn from your experiences, including your remarkable success in developing your Special Economic Zone," he said.
He said Indian firms had invested in China, including in the Pearl River Delta, and "this trend is likely to escalate in the coming years."
Meeting cancelled
Mr. Mukherjee's meeting with Premier Wen Jiabao scheduled for Friday has been called off as he had to rush to the earthquake-shattered southwest China.Mr. Mukherjee will instead meet Vice-President Xi Jinping on Friday. Mr. Xi, who was appointed in March, is tipped to be the successor of President Hu Jintao when he completes his second term. In the presence of Mr. Mukherjee and Mr. Yang, a memorandum of understanding on sharing of flood season hydrological data of the Brahmaputra was signed by Ms. Rao and the Vice-Minister of China's Ministry of Water Resources, Hu Siyi.
The data provided by China will ensure the safety and security of the people living along the river. — Xinhua/PTI

Brief History[edit]
John Young and the Great House[edit]
The Red Lodge was originally built at the top of the gardens of "ye Great House of St. Augustine's Back".[2] The Great House was built in 1568[3] on the site of an old Carmelite Priory[2] by John Young/Yonge, the descendant of a merchant family and courtier to Henry VIII and Elizabeth I,[4] and is now the site of Colston Hall.
The Red Lodge would have originally been used as a guest house and entertainment pavilion, so that the Young family could promenade their guests through their eight ornamental gardens and orchards to wine and dine them.[5]
John Young died in 1589 shortly after the Red Lodge was completed, and his 19-year-old son, Robert Young[3] inherited the entire estate. Robert quickly spent his inheritance and had to convey the Red Lodge to Nicholas Strangeways to avoid seizure.[6] By 1595, the building was rented out to various tenants as a residence separate from the Great House.[7] Robert Young sold the Great House to Sir Hugh Smyth of Ashton Court.[8]
John and Mary Henley's extensions[edit]
In the 1730s, John and Mary Henley bought the Red Lodge and started major extension work on the north side,[9] doubling the footprint of the building, fitting large Georgian windows, and rebuilding with hipped roofs and eaves, and cornices replacing gables, giving a full-height second floor.[10]
The Henley's refurbished the Reception Room and part-refurbished the Parlour, leaving some original panelling and the original decorated ceiling,[10] but made minimal changes to the Great Oak Room, Small Oak Room and Bedroom, leaving the rich Tudor decoration largely untouched.
Before the end of the extension work, John Henley died, leaving Mary Henley childless and unable to inherit. John wrote into his will that Mary had the right to live in the Red Lodge for one month in every year.[citation needed] This meant that the building could not be leased out long-term or sold to a new owner.[citation needed]
James Cowles Pritchard and short-term tenants[edit]
After the Henleys died the Red Lodge was leased to tenants practising medicine working at the Bristol Royal Infirmary, including James Cowles Pritchard who wrote Researches into the Physical History of Man, and Francis Cheyne Bowles and Richard Smith, who used the Great Oak Room as a dissection theatre.[11]
In the 19th century, the current entrance to the building from Park Row was added, as well as the rooms to the East of the original core.[citation needed]
Mary Carpenter and the Girls' Reform School[edit]
In 1854 the building was bought by Lady Byron, using Lord Byron's endowment and given to Mary Carpenter to use as a school.[12] Mary Carpenter was a zealous reformer and founded the first ever Girls' Reformatory at the Red Lodge to encapsulate her radical and progressive ideas of improvement and nurture for the nation's poor,[13] in contrast to the harsh workhouses and prisons which were the common solution in the Victorian Era.[14]
The Red Lodge was used as a Reform School until 1917, during which time Carpenter used her standing as Superintendent to lobby parliament and travel the world researching the plight of 'pauper children'.[13]
Red Lodge Museum and the Bristol Savages[edit]
In 1919, James Fuller Eberle saved the Red Lodge's historic interior from being pulled apart and sold piecemeal by buying the building for the Bristol Savages[15] and the Bristol Corporation.[15] The Savages couldn't cope with the upkeep of the whole historic building, so CFW Dening[10] built the Wigwam in the garden in 1920[16] and converted the Victorian Laundry into their studio, leaving the bulk of the Tudor, Georgian and Victorian building to the Corporation, which became Bristol City Council.
The Council renovated the building once in 1920 and again in 1956[9] before opening the Red Lodge as a museum. From then onwards the building has been a branch of the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery, along with Georgian House, Blaise Castle House, Kings Weston Roman Villa and MShed.
The next stages of development at the Red Lodge Museum are reinstating the fixtures of the New Oak Room and including interpretation for the well which was discovered; and re-ordering the garden paving to make it safe for visitors to enjoy.[17]
The rooms[edit]
The Great Oak Room[edit]
The Great Oak Room retains its original oak panelling, moulded plaster ceiling and 'double-decker' fireplace, making it "one of the finest rooms in the West Country".[18] Entrance is via an oak internal porch, similar to that of Montacute House.[10] The only features which have changed since the room was built are the enlarged Georgian windows, giving a view onto the knot garden.[19]
The Small Oak Room and Bedroom[edit]
The Small Oak Room and Bedroom are contemporary with the Great Oak Room but much less richly panelled. The Bedroom has the moulded plaster ceiling upon which the knot garden's design is based. The common layout of Tudor rooms in an apartment with people travelling from most public to most intimate suggests that the Great Oak Room was the most public room whilst the Small Oak Room and Bedroom were more private antechambers, possibly bedrooms and cabinets.[20]
The Print Room[edit]
The Print Room is part of the 18th-century extension of the Lodge and has been renovated by the Museum to look like a typical Print Room of the period. The collection of tiles around the fireplace, examples of marquetry and parquetry in the furniture and the 'japanned' grandfather clock represent the fashion of the early eighteenth century.[21]
The Mary Carpenter Room[edit]
The Mary Carpenter Room contains a display of the history of the Red Lodge as a school, a painting by the Savages of Mary Carpenter with her first pupil, a photo of Mary Carpenter, and Mary Carpenter's Broadwood piano, bought for the house in 1845.[citation needed] On the window of this room can be seen the etched words "for get me not" [sic] which were most likely written when the building was used as the Reform School.[citation needed]
The Staircase[edit]
The grand Georgian staircase and landing display portraits of notable people linked with the house – John and Mary Henley, Robert Yeamans, Robert Poyntz, Florence Poulett, William Herbert, the Third Earl of Pembroke, and Col. Adrian Scrope. The staircase was designed with as many windows as possible and nobly proportioned, with a grand chandelier to illuminate Mary Henley and her guests as they processed into the Reception Room.[10]
The Reception Room and Parlour[edit]
Though the Reception Room and Parlour are in the original Tudor core of the house, they underwent major renovations by the Henleys to present them as fashionable Georgian rooms.[citation needed] The Reception Room shows a beam where the original external south wall stood, but was knocked through to incorporate the loggia and extend the room as far as possible.
The Parlour has a mixture of Georgian Deal panelling and original Tudor oak panelling, and an original moulded plaster ceiling. The Parlour also has niches and hybrid door/windows where the 19th Century extensions were made, blocking off bay windows.[citation needed]
The New Oak Room and the Well[edit]
The New Oak Room was extensively altered in the nineteenth century, and in 1965 the museum re-used older fixtures and fittings from other sites to decorate the room.[10] The panelling is pre-18th century, bought from the Refectory of St Michael-on-the-Mount,[10] and the mantelpiece and fire surround from Ashley Down House.[10]
The New Oak Room is being restored after the floor, panelling and fireplace were removed to protect them from damp. While removing the floor, the Museum discovered the remains of a well, as yet undated, but presumably from before the Georgian extension.[citation needed]
The Second Floor[edit]
The Tudor gabled attic was extended into a full-height second floor by the Henleys.[10] It has a similar floor-plan to the first floor and was used as bedrooms in the Georgian period, then dormitories when it was a school.[citation needed] In the 1970s the entire floor was converted into a flat for the caretaker of the museum, and it is now used for storage.[citation needed]
Notable features[edit]
Portrait of Queen Elizabeth I[edit]
The Portrait of Queen Elizabeth I in the Great Oak Room is on loan to the Museum from a private collector.[citation needed] It was originally thought to be a later copy, but has recently been re-assessed as an original painted in the late 16h century.[citation needed]
Speke Chair/Table[edit]
The chair in the Great Oak Room folds down so that the back turns into the table-top. Hybrid furniture was not uncommon in the Tudor period (ie. Chests used as tables and chairs).[22] The Speke family are an aristocratic family from near Ilminster, Somerset.[23]
Portrait of Florence Smyth and her black "Page"[edit]
In the Small Oak Room is a portrait of Florence Smyth, of the Smyth Family and her black 'Page'. There is no information on the identity of the boy in the portrait, so it can't be said whether the boy is a slave, a servant, or a peer of Florence's.[citation needed] If the boy is a slave then it is probably the earliest depiction of a slave in the UK.[citation needed]
Reproduction Mary Queen of Scots' embroidery[edit]
The bed linen in the Bedroom was created in the 1980s to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the building.[citation needed] The designs include depictions of common English animals (a badger and spider); more exotic animals (a tiger and a hammerhead shark); and mythical beasts (a unicorn and a phoenix).
Mary Carpenter's Piano[edit]
The piano in the Mary Carpenter Room is the original Broadwood piano bought by Mary Carpenter in 1845.[citation needed] The fabric panel on the front of a Broadwood is usually made from silk,[24] so it is possible that the fabric and embroidery on this one were a project for the school girls.
18th Century Spinet[edit]
The Spinet in the Print Room was made by Benjamin Slade in 1702.[25] It has been at the Red Lodge since at least 1935 when Alec Hodson restored it.[25] The Museum and the Bristol Savages tune it every year and it is used as part of the Savages' festivities.[25]
The Walnut Bureau and shelves in the Reception Room hide approximately 25 hidden compartments.[citation needed] Expensive pieces of furniture in the Georgian period often incorporated secret compartments to store sensitive documents and precious objects.[citation needed] The Bureau was originally one of a pair, and a university student created a perfect replica as their final project.[citation needed]
The Skinner Chair[edit]
The Skinner Chair in the Parlour was carved for Bishop Skinner in the late 17th century.[citation needed] The story told in the relief is that of Actaeon the Hunter who angered Artemis and was punished by being turned into a deer and attacked by his own hunting party.
The chair has been used on two royal occasions – Prince Albert sat on it in 1848 when Bristol's Albert Dock was renamed in his honour,[26] and Edward VII sat on it in 1908 when the Edward VII Dock was opened.[27]
Portrait of Archbishop of York, Tobias Matthew[edit]
The portrait of Archbishop of York Tobias Matthew is hung in the Parlour on a hinge, because the back of the painting is as interesting as the front. By swinging the painting 'open' the back is revealed and shows that the painted surface is actually the back of a piece of marqueted wood showing figures in Elizabethan dress, towers with pointed roofs, water and plants.[citation needed]
The Knot Garden[edit]
The Garden viewed from the Parlour and Great Oak Room is a 1980s interpretation of an Elizabethan Knot Garden.[citation needed] The box hedge 'knot' is copied from the design incorporated into the ceiling of the Bedroom.[citation needed] Herbs and flowers are mixed together in beds as was the fashion in the 1630s [reference], and all the plants used would have been common in a similar garden of the period.[citation needed] The trellis is copied from a French seventeenth century design.[28]
Media and modern day usage[edit]
Art and sculpture[edit]
In 2006, Bristol City Council, Arts Council England and Bristol Museum and Art Gallery partnered with Plan 9 for a one-off modern sculpture exhibition at the Red Lodge.
Responding to the building, the selected artists take on board sensitivities of politics past, ongoing preservation, and today's nervy ambiguities. The works contrast and compliment the architecture and decoration of the Red Lodge but none sit too comfortably, and the friction they create subtly transforms this Elizabethan house.[29]
Film and theatre[edit]
The Ithaca Axis performed a roaming piece of theatre, parts of which were set in the Great Oak Room and the Garden http://www.3ca.org.uk/projects/bridges/events/the-ithaca-axis. In 2013, Galliard Films made an online documentary as a fun, informal way of looking into some of the history of the Red Lodge.[30]

Emissions Reductions Top U.S. Business Concern in Climate Change Debate, PricewaterhouseCoopers Survey Finds
WASHINGTON, May 20 /PRNewswire/ — U.S. companies' top concern in the climate change debate is reducing carbon emissions, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers' Appetite for Change survey. Of the climate change/environmental issues expected to most impact U.S. companies over the next two to five years, U.S. survey respondents ranked reduction of carbon dioxide emissions first (16 percent), followed by new regulation, second (13 percent); energy efficiency, third (12 percent); and legislation/new laws, fourth (11 percent).
"Although federal climate change legislation is uncertain in the short term, there are plenty of government and private sector initiatives driving companies to start reducing emissions now," says Kathy Nieland, leader of the Sustainability and Climate Change practice of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. "The Obama Administration recently announced that the federal government would reduce its own carbon footprint by 28 percent by 2020. If the government were to push down that requirement through its supply chain to all government contractors and suppliers, the impact on U.S. business would be quite significant," she adds.
Responses Mixed on Impact of the Environmental Debate on Business
Most U.S. survey respondents (87 percent) are convinced that change is likely over the next few years as a result of the climate change and environmental debate, with 28 percent calling those prospective changes significant.
Although more than half the respondents (55 percent) noted that the climate change and environmental debate has had an impact on the way their organization conducts business, a substantial plurality (45 percent) disagreed, saying the discourse has had little if no impact at all.
Although many U.S. businesses have already begun to respond to climate change, a significant number appears to be awaiting additional clarity on public policy toward greenhouse gas emissions, and most businesses expect that change to come about in the relatively near term, notes Nieland.
U.S. Companies Support Tax Incentives but Find Current Incentives Insufficient
While the debate continues over more comprehensive approaches to curbing greenhouse gas emissions, there is broad-based support for tax incentives for renewable energy and energy efficiency. In fact, 88 percent of American companies surveyed said that tax incentives were effective in encouraging businesses to reduce their environmental impact. Yet two-thirds of U.S. respondents (67 percent) said that tax incentives currently in place are not sufficiently motivating to change their business behavior to obtain them.
"While it is not surprising that companies prefer more tax incentives, it is noteworthy that only three companies in ten find the current incentives sufficient to change corporate behavior," notes Matthew Haskins, a PricewaterhouseCoopers tax partner in the Sustainability and Climate Change practice.
Although companies show a preference for incentives, for most companies current levels of tax benefits are simply an "afterthought" to activities undertaken to further the carbon strategy, Haskins notes. "However, as companies become more sophisticated about integrating tax into their carbon strategy, we expect to see more projects where tax incentives play a key role in investment decisions."
U.S. Businesses Looking for Clarity on Climate Change Policy
One in four U.S. respondents (23 percent) said government should have primary responsibility for leading behavioral change around climate initiatives, rather than businesses overall or their own industry. In contrast, 44 percent of respondents globally said government should have primary responsibility in this area.
A significantly higher proportion of U.S. respondents (38 percent) want business/the market to have primary responsibility for leading behavioral change, compared with only 18 percent globally.
Nevertheless, a majority (56 percent) of American respondents do not feel that government engages effectively with business to ensure its environmental policies take industry views into account. Only 17 percent of U.S. respondents said they believe the government has a clear, unambiguous policy with regard to environmental economic instruments.
Nieland notes that U.S. respondents appear to be expressing a desire for clarity. She explains, "Companies are asking, 'What behavioral changes does government want from us? And how do we know when we did enough?'"
Currently, many U.S. businesses participate in voluntary programs under which they disclose their carbon emissions, but the U.S. business community appears to be divided on whether voluntary agreements lead businesses to reduce their environmental impact, with 50 percent citing them as not very/not at all effective and 50 percent saying they are effective.
Notes Nieland, "Voluntary disclosure alone does not necessarily provide incentives to reduce emissions nor does it give businesses a guide to whether and when emissions reductions are expected of them."
Businesses Increasingly Looking for Climate Change Opportunities
More than four in 10 (44 percent) respondents said the potential cost savings from introducing energy-efficient measures was "very influential" on their organization's environmental behavior.
"U.S. businesses that make this connection recognize the benefits of what we call triple winners. Energy-efficient measures save money, lower a company's carbon footprint and qualify for carbon credits or accelerated depreciation — all at the same time," notes Matthew Arnold, a PricewaterhouseCoopers Advisory partner in the Sustainability and Climate Change practice.
Appetite for Change: Global business perspectives on tax and regulation for a low carbon economy is a comprehensive survey that examines the international business community's attitude toward environmental regulation, legislation and taxes. In almost 700 interviews, conducted in 15 countries, executives shared their perspectives on the impact of climate change, government's role in protecting the environment, preferred environmental policy tools, and ingredients necessary for a global climate change deal. A copy of the full report can be found at www.pwc.com/appetiteforchange.

Bella Notte
1374 West Grand Avenue, Chicago, IL 60622Map
+1 312 733 5136
Neighborhood: Noble Square
Cuisine: Italian
This family-owned restaurant west of downtown has charm and integrity. Come hungry as the pasta portions are unbelievable. You can ask for a half order and still have food for the next few days. Bella Notte serves everything from Chicken Vesuvio to Zuppa di Pesce over Capellini. It has a charming, old-world feel with a wonderful mix of clientele and more than a hint of old Chicago when Al Capone was in charge. No Italian restaurant would be complete without a respectable wine list and Bella Notte is no exception. Bring your whole family and expect to leave full and happy. -Eun Jung Decker
