Brazil's Secretaria de Aviação Civil has published the results of technical evaluations of the proposed concessions of Belo Horizonte Confins International and Rio de Janeiro Galeao International airports.
The studies cover engineering, environmental, economic and financial issues related to the concessions as well as growth forecasts and investment estimates for the two airports, according to Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC).
ANAC says that the studies were published in the government's official diary today, and will be released to the public within 10 days followed by a 30 day comment period. The agency anticipates finalising the terms of the concession in September.
Estruturadora Brasileira de Projetos (EPB) and IQS Engenharia conducted the studies.
Invepar, which owns 46% of the Sao Paulo Guarulhos International airport concession, anticipates that Confins will require an about Brazilian reals (R$) 4.8 billion ($2.4 billion) investment and Galeao about R$6.6 billion.
The government is targeting large global airport operators for the concessions. It has put in place guidelines requiring that bidders must operate a portfolio of airports that handle more than 35 million passengers per year and invest at least 25% of the equity in the concessions.

How to deal with holiday stress
Monday - 12/10/2012, 6:57pm EST
December 10, 2012 - This week on For Your Benefit lifestyle coach Patti Hudson joins hosts Bob Leins and John Elliott to discuss holiday stress.
Hudson talks about ways to avoid holiday stress and some of the major causes of stress.
She also discusses strategies that work to reduce stress — such as prioritizing your activities and scheduling times to shop, decorate, bake, etc.
She also recommends making a budget for gifts and sticking to it.
Hudson says that you should take time for yourself and your own needs during the holiday. Make memories that you will enjoy reflecting back on during the year. Plan to do events and activities that you would like to do - for yourself and for others. Consider a visit with elderly relatives, neighbors, or friends; volunteer at a soup kitchen; volunteer to collect canned goods; take some decorations to a nursing home or hospital.
Hudson says: "Control what you can control; everything else is what it is."

YAMAHA EPH-M200 In-ear headphones Brack
"Hello fellow Head-fiers!. This is my first review in Head-fi, but before I begin, I'd like to give a brief introduction about me. I'm an average individual who loves listening to almost wide range of music genres from classic to rock, except current pop, rap, and hip-hop, but I mainly listen to songs as long as they sound good!

Aurisonics AS-1b
" Synopsis: The Aurisonics AS-1b is a very nice custom-fit monitor with a sound tuned for the needs of professional musicians performing on stage.

Yamaha EPH-M100 High-Performance Earphones
"I really like this earphone because it gives you wonderful sound quality at a reasonable cost. When I started listening to all the songs on my laptop with this earphone and also all of the smooth jazz, it was as if the whole world was cut off because of the noise cancellation. I use it on the airplane and I couldnt hear the tons of babies that were on the plane . I tried it with three..." --SandyMan
Aurisonics ASG-2
" Introduction The ASG-2 is Aurisonics' second (official) foray into the world of iems. The guys over at Aurisonics cater primarily to the music professional crowd, and their products are generally tuned for stage use. Their original ASG-1 was a perfect example of this, with its ability to present vocals in a way that made it seem as if the notes were rolling off your own..." --eke2k6
Aurisonics ASG-1 Rev 1.3
" I quite literally took a shot with these after the NY Meet. It was between these and the UE900s and I'm rather content with the decision, from the cable to the build, to the fit. Everything works. These are clearly stage monitors tuned so you can ear voices clearly and exact positioning of instruments. Because of this they have a great and slightly forward midrange.

DK Pattammal, or Patta, as she was known as a child prodigy, was catapulted into a special league after singing on radio at the age of 10. Pattammal (christened Alamelu) had no formal training in classical music since it was a taboo for Brahmin girls to perform before audiences then. Therefore, Patta would sit through concerts, memorise the songs and render them on returning home.
Patta followed up her radio concert in 1929 with her first public concert three years later at Madras Rasika Ranjani Sabha. There was no stopping DKP thereafter, as she formed a special trinity with contemporaries MS Subbulakshmi and ML Vasanthakumari in demolishing many myths concerned with Carnatic form of music.
Though initially reluctant to allow her to sing before audiences, her father Damal Krishnaswamy Dikshithar subsequently allowed Patta to pursue her "devotional interest in music" and the family shifted to Chennai from Kancheepuram, where she was born. Pattammal, who learnt by listening to great stalwarts of her time, had in an interview explained how the turning point of her life came when she was eight years old. She won the first prize at a competition conducted by C Subramanya Pillai (popularly known as Naina Pillai), who used to host Thyagaraja festivals in Kancheepuram every year. The orthodox Brahmin girl rose to become one of the icons of Carnatic music by scaling many bastions, which in those times were considered to be exclusive male prerogative.
"I got the first prize for singing Raksha Bettare in Bhairavi. Naina Pillai was impressed and that was a real turning point in my life," she had said.
Her melodious voice inculcated a strong mastery over nuances of Carnatic music and she left behind a lasting legacy by her renditions of Muthuswami compositions by Muthuswami Dikshitar, Subramanya Bharati and Papanasam Sivan. A strict disciplinarian, she never allowed any form of dilution in order to attract the masses. "It is enough if I get a hundred discerning listeners. I will not lower my standards to reach out to a thousand or more," she had once remarked. Her rendering of intricate pallavis with consummate ease earned her the sobriquet of "Pallavi Pattammal".
Pattammal performed throughout India and around the world, including the US, Canada, France, Germany, Switzerland and Sri Lanka. She was conferred the Padma Vibhushan in 1998 and the Padma Bhushan in 1971.

Khurshid seeks improvement in judicial delivery system
Bringing in accountability for the judiciary will not take away its freedom, but, in fact, will give it greater independence, Minister of Law, Justice and Minority Affairs, Salman Khurshid, said on Saturday.
Addressing the valedictory function of the sesquicentennial celebrations of Madras High Court, Mr. Khurshid said the judicial delivery system should improve so that the fruits of justice reached the common man.
He urged the judiciary to adapt itself to the growing needs of the world.
The Minister said, "The government is considering bringing in accountability — not one that takes away its independence, but [the sort of] accountability that adds to its independence and re-emphasises it."
"This will come about through a fruitful wholesome dialogue between the judiciary and legislature," he added.
In his valedictory address, President Pranab Mukherjee said administration of justice should be quick and accessible to all. He acknowledged that despite various challenges, the judiciary was working hard to reduce the backlog and provide speedy justice.
The government was engaged in the task of strengthening the courts with additional resources. A National Mission for Justice Delivery had been launched. The Constitution was being amended to raise the retirement age of High Court judges. Efforts were on to create an All India Judicial Service.
Mr. Mukherjee said filling of vacancies in courts should be taken up as a priority. The judicial system should be not only accessible but also affordable. As litigation was time-consuming and expensive, alternative dispute resolution mechanisms should be encouraged.
The judiciary should play a crucial role in the administration of the Legal Services Authority Act. Greater efforts were needed to speed up legal literacy.
The government, judiciary and lawyers through their voluntary efforts should make the constitutional dictum a living reality for the common man. Improving the quality of legal education and inculcating the right values in aspiring and young lawyers was the need of the hour.
The President paid tributes to the Madras High Court Bench and the Bar for their contribution to the development of law, justice and jurisprudence.

Sridevi's last release English Vinglish is definitely the best come back by any actress ever in the history of Bollywood. It was her first time with debutant irector Gauri Shinde, who did full justice to the actress, and the film. It isn't suprising that a yera after that Sridevi hasn't given the nod for any other film. Now we hear that the powerful duo will team up once again.
Over a period of time the very shy and confident Sridevi has conquered her inhibitions and has gradually come out of her shell. How much so, was evident when on Friday at the music release of Amol Gupte's Hawa Hawaii. For the first time she confidently spoke without a pre-prepared speech. The actress who at one time couldn't speak two lines in public to save her life is today so confident enough to do an impromptu speech.
This new confidence that Sridevi has found in herself has apparently come after doing her comeback film English Vinglish. Gauri and Sri are very close friends and confidantes. In fact Amole Gupte approached Sridevi through Gauri Shinde to attend the Hawa Hawaii trailer release. According to sources Sridevi and Shinde are now planning a second project together. Says the source, "It would be another social comedy about the Indian middleclass woman. But it won't be a sequel to English Vinglish." Something to look forward to, for sure.

saw this thread through a google alert. Gotta love technology.
Charlie hit the nail on the head. And the OP's point is sound. Some people DO have congenital or trauma-related deviations from the postural blueprint. I'm an example. I was in a near fatal car accident back in 1992. Went form 70 mph to 0 in less than a second. Fractured several bones in my spine, my sternum, lots of soft tissue damage, and on it goes. There is a segment of my spine that is supposed to articulate at least a little bit and does not move at all. So there are some of our exercises where when I do them, it ain't pretty.
The goal with EVERYONE is to bring them back to as close to the postural and functional blueprint as their situation permits. No one has perfect posture, everyone has 'their stuff', but the question is, can it get better? I've yet to meet the person where the answer was no.
Sometimes in people's heads, perfection is the enemy of better. I'm a big fan of better.

I had an opportunity a few days ago to have a wonderful phone conversation with Paul Wood. In case you don't know, Wood was an all-state caliber running back for the R.E. Lee Rebels in 1953, 1954, and 1955. He was named to the All-Region 1AA team in 1955 and participated in the GHSA/Atlanta Journal High School All-Star Game in 1956.
Wood received a football scholarship to the University of Alabama and played for the Tide in 1956, 1957, and 1958. He played for Coach J.B. Whitworth in '56 and '57 and then played on Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant's first Alabama team in 1958. He was forced to give up football in 1959 when he injured his leg.
Wood scored the first touchdown at Matthews Field when he scored on a five-yard, second quarter run in the first game played on the field in 1953. The game was against arch-rival Griffin and the Rebels blew an 18-0 lead to lose 19-18 on the last play of the game.
One odd statistic about Wood is that he scored 12 of Lee's 17 total touchdowns during the 1955 season. He scored the last eight touchdowns in Lee's '55 season, which saw the Rebels finish with a 2-8 record. His younger brother Jimmy scored three of the other five Lee scores that year.
Foy Bentley and Wayne Collins were mentioned by Wood as he recalled his days on the gridiron for Lee. "Foy and Wayne were the hosses that I ran behind," he said. "They made things a lot easier for me and could really open some holes."
Wood, who just turned 78 years old, played for coach Jim Cavan at Lee and expressed a dear love for the Lee coach. "Everything I learned, I learned from Coach Cavan," he said. "He was the most impressive football coach I have ever been around. I spent a lot of time at his house and I just dearly loved Coach Cavan and Mrs. Cavan. He was like a dad to me."
Coach Otis Weaver was Wood's coach during his freshman year in 1952. "Coach Weaver told me that I would never play football," said Wood. "He said that my feet were too big. Coach Cavan didn't worry about my feet."
Wood said that he visited Cavan on the day that the legendary Lee coach passed away. "My brother and I visited Coach Cavan in the hospital on the day of his death," Wood said. "I had not seen him in many years, but he recognized me. We prayed with him beside his bed."
His decision to attend Alabama was directed by Bama grad and Lee Coach, Jim Franko. "Coach Franko set things up for me at Alabama," Wood said. "Coach Cavan wanted me to go to Georgia and my ex-teammate, W.L. Strickland, wanted me to go to South Carolina where he was."
One other Lee teacher that Wood mentioned was Mrs. Shehee. "We absolutely loved Mrs. Shehee," he said. "Bill Curtis and I would put marbles in her car's hubcaps. Also, when you could go around the square in two or three lanes without stopping, we would catch her in the inside lane and get beside her. We wouldn't let her out of her lane to get off of the square. After we did this four or five times she went to the police."
He remembered former Lee Coach Tommy Perdue as a teammate and friend while they were both at Lee. He said that Perdue was a "cut-up' and a "clown" while they were in school together. Sorry Tommy!
Wood's brother, Jimmy, who also received a scholarship to Alabama, died in 1991 from cancer. He told of how Jimmy loved to kick the football and that Coach Clint McAbee told him he needed to just go play the piano if all he wanted to do was kick the ball. McAbee gave him the nickname of "Liberace" and called him "Libby."
After leaving Alabama, Wood worked for Frito-Lay, Del Monte, and R.J. Reynolds Foods. He was a buyer and plant manager for these national businesses. It was a joy to talk with Paul Wood. He was very interesting and full of stories and information. It's always great to talk to R.E. Lee legends and Wood is certainly one.

Staff Reporter
Mumbai: The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on Monday arrested Vazhul Kamar Khan alias Babu Bhai alias Murtaza Chowdhary, 44, wanted in the 2003 Mulund railway station blast case, ATS chief Rakesh Maria told journalists here. This is the 17 {+t} {+h} arrest in the case.
On March 13, 2003, a powerful blast ripped through the first class bogie of a Karjat-bound fast local at the Mulund station. The incident was preceded by two more blasts, one at a McDonald's outlet at the Mumbai Central junction on December 6, 2002 and the other outside the Ville Parle station on January 27, 2003.
Sixteen persons were arrested and charge sheeted in the Mulund case. There were seven wanted accused, including Khan.
Mr. Maria said Khan was part of the criminal conspiracy; he was present at the training which took place in the forest of Padgha village in Thane (rural), he had helped in the making of the IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) for all the three blasts and was present when the explosives were being placed in containers.
"The charge sheet clearly mentions his role. He was a close associate of Tahir Ansari, who made the bombs and is absconding. He knew Tahir and assisted him. He is also a very close associate of [prime accused] Saquib Nachan [already arrested] and Iqbal Bhatkal of the Indian Mujahideen," Mr. Maria said.
The ATS arrested Khan at the LBS Marg in Kurla around 10 a.m. He was carrying a 7.65 mm pistol having three live rounds.

A container train service from Morbi in Gujarat to Kannur in Kerala has been launched by the Vikram Logistic and Maritime Services (VLMS). VLMS, a joint venture company of Indian Railways and Gujarat Pipavav Port Ltd. launched the container train service from Morbi to the Kannur South Railway Station which had been declared as a Container Rail Terminal (CRT) by Railways, Company Vice-President L.S. Kumar said at a press conference here on Monday.
He said that the container train service had been introduced in view of the high demand for tiles in the Malabar region. Morbi is a tile production hub.
L.S. Kumar added that the closed circuit service was aimed at cutting down transmit time, cost advantage over road haulers and absolute safety to cargo, among others. He also said that the train movement helps in protecting the environment since bulk cargo is transported by rail.
In the coming months, the company plans to increase the number of services between Gujarat and Kerala for movement of other cargo such as textiles, medicines and food grains, among others, which would bring down the landed price of the commodities.
The bulk movement would carry 2,500 metric tonnes per rake. Mr. Kumar said that VLMS had also identified four more routes as part of its expansion programme. The manufacturers, farmers and traders could take the benefit of sending their cargo to northern and western parts of the country economically and safely, he said.
Company General Manager, S.S. Menon, and Executive Vice-President, N. Shivakumar, were also present at the press conference.

Ko Tarutao Marine NP
November 28th 2010
Published: November 28th 2010
Sunrise beach, Lipe, at dawn
So I have left her, my first love, possibly never to see her again: India, how I will miss you. I feel it is always best to move on quickly after having your heart broken, so I am now, after a brief flirtation with Malaysia, embarking on a torrid affair with Thailand. So far it has all been romps on the beach, romantic sunsets, cocktails in beach bars made of bleached driftwood and early morning swims under the rising sun. Thailand has shown me a different kind of love; opened my eyes a little. She is easy, she serves up incredible food, possess a more traditional beauty, is more predictable and less stressful than India and, thankfully, asks for very little in return. The only drawback is that she is a much more expensive date, which means she is nowhere near as dirty as India. You certainly get more bang for your buck in India, but Thailand possess an exquisite beauty and a cultured charm that she has been more than happy to reveal, for a price.
In truth, I have never been entirely faithful to India. In the six years years we spent apart, between our first and last
View from Sha Dao cliff Ko Adang, looking to Lipe
meetings, living our long distance relationship vicariously through novels, movies, music and documentaries, I have been unfaithful with numerous other countries including, previously, Thailand. So, this affair is a reunion of sorts, a resumption of a passionate fling, an attempt to rediscover the ease and grace which coloured our previous encounters. To help smooth the reintroductions it was decided that we'd spend our first couple of nights on known territory. For this purpose we chose to return to Ko Lipe, a small island with two beautiful sweeps of sand which, along with the other forty odd islands in the vicinity, go together to form the Tarutao National Marine Park that lies, caressed by the clear and warm waters of the Andaman Sea, in the far south of the Kra Isthmus.
I believe the above country as lover metaphor is now, if it wasn't long before, lying on the bed panting, covered in sweat and well and truly spent. Enough. It is always a little disconcerting when you meet again with someone you've known previously, especially after a number of years. You half expect them to have withstood the effects of time and to have remained exactly as you remember
Ko Adang
them, it can be something of a shock to find out that they are just as susceptible to aging and change as you. As our ferry chugged past the forest covered bulk of Ko Adang which had several beaches of varying size lining its base, like a line of Morse code in yellow, I caught my first glance of Ko Lipe and, thankfully everything looked exactly as I remembered it. There were many longtails lined up in the pale blue shallows of Sunrise beach and the usual conglomeration of beach huts and bungalows. It wasn't until our boat had rounded the headland that separated Sunrise beach from Hat Pattaya, that I began to notice the changes I feared. Gone were all the rustic little shacks that, three years before, predominated on this most lovely stretch of fine white sand, replaced instead by hulking and unlovely resorts.
The amount of change in just three short years was staggering. Then, the main path separating the two beaches had a few low key restaurants and a smattering of bungalow operations, a couple of retail outlets and a dive shop. Now the path, which then was just a sandy track and is now
Reefs and clear water, Ko Lipe
a concrete road renamed "walking street", is jam packed with quadruple the number of businesses. It was hard to find any of the original purveyors of cheap backpacker chic, rattan and bamboo bungalows, but thankfully a few do still exist and, as this was low season, we were able to find one in the middle of the island for a reasonable rate. The other original track, linking Hat Pattaya with the tiny but beautiful Sunset beach, which three years before was a hard to follow track through thick vegetation is now almost as busy as walking street. The beaches are all thankfully exactly as we remember them, the clarity of the water is still excellent for Thailand and there still remains some live coral within swimming distance of the beach, everything else however is changed.
It is not for me to decide whether this change is for good or ill, after all, on our travels we have met so many people, especially those who are a bit older, who have been more than happy to point out how such and such place "was better in our day", or how so and so beach "has been ruined by commercialism", and
Sunset beach, Ko Lipe
they always sounded just a little bit bitter and sad, a little too self congratulatory in their derision. We enjoyed our second short stay on Ko Lipe, it was an excellent place in which to unwind after the beautiful madness of India and, though admittedly sad at witnessing the changes that in truth are not really to our tastes, we were glad we came back and happy that we had been able, "back in the day", to enjoy Ko Lipe when it was still just on the cusp of overcommercialisation, not way beyond.
We had resolved, long before we arrived there, to break our self imposed embargo on alcohol as soon as we reached our first beach, by perfect chance we arrived on Ko Lipe on the night of the Loy Krathong festival, which honours water spirits and marks the end of the rainy season, and stepped straight into a large party. A long period of abstinence followed by some moderate to heavy libation caused some predictable and obvious results, sending both of us to bed long before the new year dawned. Before we stumbled home, a typical pair of lobster pink Europeans abroad, we witnessed the releasing of
Subtle sunset, Ko Tarutao
hundreds of paper lanterns which floated in long dotted lines of gold into the heavens, the floating of little baskets of flowers and candles on the calm sea, enjoyed one or two delicious cocktails too many and ate a beautifully hot and spicy soup which Anny, with a drunks strange logic, blamed for her sudden bout of nausea. When not drunk or recovering from drunkenness, we hired kayaks to explore the pristine islands that surround Lipe, spending many happy hours on perfect white sand beaches backed by lush jungle which we had, every time, entirely to ourselves.
From Lipe we sailed to Ko Tarutao which is both the largest island in the group and the one which gives its name to the marine park of the same. Like Adang and Rawi, Tarutao is uninhabited, covered by thick tropical jungle, is a haven and a harbour for wildlife and has huge sweeps of wide, gently shelving, pale sand beaches. What is more, at this time of year the National Park accommodation is almost empty and we had the place mostly to ourselves. After bemoaning the prices on "commercial" Lipe we were a little surprised at having to pay 600 Baht
Longtail, Hat Pattaya, Ko Lipe
for a National Park bungalow on Tarutao. At least the money was going to a good cause and, unlike some of our experiences in India, this place was clearly very well looked after and run. The ground surrounding the accommodation, restaurant and shop was immaculate (as it was on Adang), and inland we found the jungle to be totally unspoilt, completely litter free. Unfortunately, as we arrived just after the monsoon, all the beaches had a great deal of flotsam and jetsam at their high water marks which looked more than a little unsightly, we really hope that this gets removed, as opposed to just waiting for the next high tide to wash it away.
Unlike Lipe the snorkeling off Tarutao, especially at this time of year, is not that good, so we had to find our nature fix on the land and in the air instead. In the air we were able to spot many old favourites such as Racquet Tailed Drongos, Brahminy kites and Hornbills, as well as some new ones such as Ospreys, Frigate Birds and the magnificent spectacle of Sea Eagles lazily soaring above us as we tanned ourselves on a deserted beach. On the
Beautiful beach, Ko Adang
ground we were reacquainted with Monitor Lizards, made friends with the Crab Eating Macaques, which are much like the standard variety but have made up eyes and sport natty beards and loved the beauty of the Dusky Langur, which were again a little like the more common variety, only much more adorable. With more time and with the other two ranger stations on the island being open, we may have been able to see more, but as it was we had a perfectly relaxing stay on this most beautiful and well managed island which, unlike Lipe, we'd be more than happy to visit again.
