I had a Metro cop come to the office the other day for a free consultation. When I greeted him in the waiting room, before he even rose from the couch to shake my hand, he stated that he didn't like or trust lawyers. I smiled and replied that most people I meet do have a bad impression of lawyers these days, particularly if they have had to hire one for a minor criminal offense or felt they got less than their personal injury attorney after an auto accident. Police officers deal with lawyers all the time, and are subjected to cross-examination directed at the officer's credibility or ability to recall details of accidents.
As I was listening to this officer's complaints about lawyers, my son's 102-lb puppy, named Billy, barged through the door to rest his large head on the officer's thigh, just inches from the gun on his hip. It took me a moment to corral Billy to a manageable energy level in my office, but the distraction and rough start to an initial consultation with this potential new client, somehow instantly impressed this officer that I was a good person, even if I was a lawyer. The officer and I had a good meeting. He seemed to enjoy the sounds of my beagle Susie snoring loudly under my desk, while Billie gnawed audibly on a ham shank behind his chair. I sat across from him with my long-haired Doxie occupying half of my chair, and noticed that the dogs had helped him relax enough to listen to me.
I don't mean that it was a good meeting just because he decided to hire me to represent him at the end of the consultation. It was good because he learned some new things from me that he hadn't considered about his claim. I got the feeling that he trusted my expertise when he left, but I wondered how much of that was attributable to my discussion with him, or the simple presence of my three dogs in the office.
I keep the hounds in the office because these three dogs are very spoiled, hopping into the car to go with me most places. Petting a dog throughout the day also helps to calm me when dealing with an unreasonable insurer. But, a side benefit to having the pleasure of their disruptive company all day is having people instantly think I'm probably a good person. You can have the most experienced and brilliant lawyer, but if her or she doesn't know how to care about other living beings, the lawyer is probably no good for the client.

Study: More states falling short on pension money
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. Bad decisions and a sour economy combined to leave 31 states below the safety line set for investing money to meet future pension costs, according to a study released Monday.
The double-whammy also has increased the chance that officials may eventually have to fix the problem by cutting benefits or raising taxes.
Many experts recommend states save at least 80 percent of the money they'll eventually need to pay the pensions promised to government employees. Twenty-two states failed to previously meet that threshold and nine more fell short in fiscal 2009, according to the Pew Center on the States.
Illinois had the largest shortfall, with only 51 percent. New York was in the best shape at 101 percent.
"Far too many states are not responsibly managing the bill for their employees' retirement," said the report, "The Widening Gap: The Great Recession's Impact on State Pension and Retiree Health Care Costs."
But Keith Brainard, research director for the National Association of State Retirement Administrators, said it can be misleading to look at a percentage at any one moment. Markets rise and fall, states put more money or less into pensions, and benefits can be adjusted up or down.
He called the funding percentages "a snapshot of what amounts to a decades-long motion picture. There's nothing magical about any particular funding level."
States promise their employees monthly pension checks after they retire and pay for them by joining with their employees to contribute money that is then invested. But states risk getting into financial trouble when they fail to put aside money as they go while promising employees bigger pension checks.
There's little danger of an immediate crisis, according to the Pew study, such as a state being unable to send out pension checks. Already, though, Illinois retirement systems have had to sell assets to come up with the money they needed because state government wasn't meeting its obligations. The longer states delay, the bigger the actions needed to fix the problem.
The Pew study found that state retirement systems in fiscal 2009 had assets to cover 78 percent of long-term costs, down from 84 percent the previous year. States were supposed to contribute $115 billion to keep from falling further behind, but they provided only $73 billion.
The study looked at figures from 2008 and 2009, when the economy and the stock market were at their worst.
Susan Urahn, managing director for the Pew Center on the States, said the problems go beyond a temporary drop in the value of state investments. Facing tight budgets, states are choosing to skip their annual contributions to pension funds, like families skipping a credit card payment, she said, and that makes the ultimate debt even bigger.
When the pension shortfall is combined with the cost of retiree health care, states face a gap of $1.26 trillion between money on hand and what they'll eventually owe. That's about $9,500 for every household in the United States. The study did not include many local government pension plans, which face similar problems.

Join your peers and DGS attorneys for this networking event where we will talk about Colorado's vibrant cleantech economy, climate issues, sustainability, and of course, doing our part to sequester CO2.
The 2015 edition of the Chambers USA ranked Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP first in Colorado in the areas of Corporate/M&A and Natural Resources & Environment. Chambers USA also recognized DGS for its strong Labor & Employment and Commercial Litigation practices.
Three people from Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP were honored yesterday at the Colorado Lawyers Committee (CLC) 2015 Awards Luncheon. Terry Miller was recognized as a member of the "Team of the Year" for his pro bono work on the Amendment 23 litigation (Dwyer v. State) and Peter Schwartz and Jean Steward were also nominated for the same award as Nonprofit Working Group Coordinators and two of that group's "Most Active 2014 Volunteers."
On May 5, 2015, the Treasury Department issued proposed regulations that provide guidance on whether income of a master limited partnership (MLP) related to minerals or natural resources constitutes "qualifying income" for purposes of classifying the MLP as a partnership (and not as a corporation) for tax purposes.
DGS has nominated 100 different causes that we will support throughout the year. We'll chronicle our progress on our Y100 website and keep you up to date on all of our projects.

Gallery: 6 Eco-Friendly Ways to Enjoy Autumn in NYC!
Enjoy the Fall Foliage
As the leaves change colors and fall to the ground, the best way to enjoy the warm hues is to head to the park. But do you have any idea what trees those leaves came from? Don't worry, there's an app for that. Leafsnap, created through a collaboration between Columbia University, the University of Maryland, the Smithsonian Institute, and FindingSpecies.org, repurposes facial recognition algorithms to identify fallen floral instead. Just snap a photo of a leaf on your phone, and the app tells you whether it's a sycamore or elm, along with providing high-res pictures of the tree's flowers and other characteristics. To put your app to work, the city's parks host a variety of events to enjoy the leaves, like the Fall Foliage Cruise on November 5. Or you can simply stroll through the world-class Central Park or Prospect Park at your leisure.
Go Pumpkin Picking
Sure, you could buy your pumpkins at the Greenmarket, but wouldn't it be more fun to pick them from the farm yourself? There are dozens of farms just a short train ride away Upstate or on Long Island that let you traverse the pumpkin patch to pick your own, but if you don't want to leave the five boroughs, you can head to Decker Farm on Staten Island. Every Saturday and Sunday until Halloween, the historic farm lets you pick out your own pumpkins and you can take a guided tour of the 1800s farmhouse. Located in Historic Richmond Town, the land is the oldest continually farmed site in NYC.
Get Spooked
Take a trip to the historic Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum in The Bronx, where two paranormal investigations recently took place. On October 29, the lead investigator, Dan Sturges, will discuss their findings and share the history of the mystery. You can also visit the Merchants House Museum in Greenwich Village. Called "Manhattan's most haunted house" by the New York Times, the museum is hosting a slew of spooky fright nights until Halloween. The last family to live in the house, built in 1832, was the Tredwells, and many believe that the family's ghosts still occupy the residence. Scare yourself silly with ghost stories, a funeral reenactment, candlelight tours, and more.

Systems integrator Commulynx has acquired solutions provider Prodigi in a majority equity deal designed to boost its SMB offering.
The Prodigi business will be integrated into Commulynx with the company's SMB client relationships to be run by Prodigi boss Broderick Smith.
Prodigi at the time of acquisition had Smith as its sole full-time staffer alongside a long list of contractors, some of whom Commulynx would look to bring on full-time.
Commulynx managing director Stephen Knights told CRN he had been attracted to Prodigi's quality of customer service and focus on SMBs.
"Our focus tends to be on [mid-sized] to enterprise [customers]," Knights said.
"We liked [Prodigi's] customer relationships, extra complementary services such as web services, and consulting services to SMBs. We also do that but they seem to do it a bit better."
Prodigi's Smith said all of his 300 clients would be brought across in the merger.
Commulynx has 15 full-time staff on its books and a client base of about 200 customers. Knights said he would classify 50 of those clients as active on a month-to-month basis.
The company works with vendors such as Dell, Apple, Microsoft, Ruckus Wireless, Cisco, and Juniper as well as Websense, with which it is a gold partner.
Knights declined to comment on the cash value involved in the majority equity deal.
The systems integrator is a triple entrant to the CRN Fast50. It recorded 13 percent growth in sales in 2011 to $1.7 million.

β-Actin and GAPDH housekeeping gene expression in asthmatic airways is variable and not suitable for normalising mRNA levels

Professor E H Walters, Department of Clinical Sciences, School of Medicine, GPO Box 252, Hobart, Tasmania 7001, Australia;
- Accepted 14 January 2002
- Revised 29 November 2001
Background: The use of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to measure mRNA levels has led to the common use of β-actin and GAPDH housekeeping genes as denominators for comparison of samples. Expression of these genes is assumed to remain constant, so normalising for variations in processing and signal quantitation. However, it is well documented that β-actin and GAPDH expression is upregulated with proliferation, activation, and differentiation. We hypothesised that airway samples which differ in their cellular profiles and activation status have different levels of expression of GAPDH and β-actin.
Methods: The mRNA for β-actin, GAPDH, and interleukin (IL)-2 was measured in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid cells and endobronchial biopsy tissue by competitive RT-PCR in a cross sectional study of 26 normal controls and 92 asthmatic subjects.
Results: For both BAL fluid cells and biopsy tissue, asthmatics overall had reduced expression of GAPDH and β-actin mRNA. In asthmatic subjects not using inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), GAPDH mRNA levels in both BAL fluid and biopsy tissue, and β-actin mRNA in BAL fluid cells were 10 times lower than samples from both normal controls and from asthmatic subjects using ICS. β-Actin mRNA in biopsy specimens showed the same pattern of expression, but asthmatic subjects not using ICS were not significantly different from those receiving ICS treatment. IL-2 mRNA levels did not differ between the subject or treatment groups but, when expressed as a ratio with β-actin, significant differences were seen.
Conclusions: β-Actin and GAPDH used as denominators of gene expression quantitation in asthma research can cause confounding. Housekeeping genes need careful validation before their use in such quantitative mRNA assays.

Seahawks Notebook Rookie Tapp Hopes His Extra Work Pays Off
CHENEY

Because only five healthy players have been available to rotate at two defensive end positions, Seattle Seahawks rookie Darryl Tapp has seen plenty of action at training camp.

But he's still had enough energy to put in a little overtime.

On several occasions during the past eight days, Tapp has stayed after practice to work one-on-one with defensive line coach Dwaine Board.

"You've got to," Tapp said when asked about his extra work. "I have to get to the level that the rest of the d-line guys are at. They had a tremendous unit last year. They brought me in to add to that, so I've got to mind my P's and Q's so that I'll be ready when the time comes."

The second-round pick out of Virginia Tech is working on all the little nuances of the professional game. He knows his speed and athleticism, by themselves, won't be enough to carry him. So Tapp is picking Board's brain on things like hand movement, footwork and where to line up.

"All the one-on-one attention I can get, that's only going to help me," Tapp said, adding that it doesn't hurt to work with an assistant coach who had 61 career sacks as an NFL defensive lineman. "It's a big help. (Board has) definitely been through the fire. It's not like he's teaching me something that he read in a book. He's been there, done that, and he's trying to get me to the same level that he was performing at."

Board isn't the only one helping to elevate Tapp's game. The 265-pound rookie sees most of his repetitions against Pro Bowl left tackle Walter Jones.

"I get to go against the best in the business day in and day out," Tapp said. "The closer I get to beating (Jones), or even getting him to pause a little bit, that's going to be a victory for me against somebody else. Because nobody else is on Walter Jones's level."

Fan Favorite

Wide receiver C.J. Jones is a long way from his hometown (Palm Beach, Fla.), his college (University of Iowa), his last NFL training camp (Cleveland Browns) and his last team (the Berlin Thunder).

So it came as a bit of a surprise that he had his own fan club at Saturday's intrasquad scrimmage.

"It just felt good to know that someone was on my side," Jones said of three Seattle men who attended the scrimmage with a "We believe in C.J. Jones" sign. "I didn't know them at all. I just saw the sign."

Jones gave the men his gloves and chatted with them briefly, but he's still not sure why they're such big fans.

"They said they liked my style," said Jones, whose flowing braids make him stand out on the practice field. "They recognize me because of my hair. One of them said I run like a gazelle. I was like, 'Wow, I appreciate that.' I was really flattered."

Jones, 25, is a long shot to make the team. He spent two seasons on the Browns' practice squad and has been in NFL Europe the past two summers. He got hurt while playing for Berlin during the most recent NFLE season and missed all the offseason minicamps.

"I'm always going to be the long shot," said Jones, whose claim to fame comes from being the cousin of Arizona Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin. "I went to junior college for two years, then when I was with Cleveland's (practice squad) for two years, I had to sit in that back row. So I know my role. I've always got to wait. I'll just wait for my time to come, and when it does, I'll just ride it."

Injury Update

The Seahawks continue to be shorthanded at several positions, but no new injuries came out of Saturday's intrasquad scrimmage.

Five starters — wide receiver Darrell Jackson (knee), tight end Jerramy Stevens (knee), defensive tackle Rocky Bernard (knee), defensive end Grant Wistrom (shoulder) and safety Michael Boulware (knee) — continue to be sidelined following offseason surgeries.

All five are expected back for either the second or third preseason game.

Linebacker Isaiah Kacyvenski (strained quadriceps) missed a second consecutive day of practices Sunday.

Wide receiver Taco Wallace (bruised ribs) missed the afternoon practice.

Cornerback Reggie Austin, who missed two days with a strained knee, returned to the practice field Sunday. Wide receiver Tony Brown returned from a hamstring injury.

Texas Architect Jan/Feb 2007: Spaces for Learning
Texas Architect is the official publication of the Texas Society of Architects, each edition features recently completed projects and other editorial content largely written by AIA members in Texas. That collective participation was the basis of Texas Architect's recognition by the national AIA with a 2010 Institute Honor for Collaborative Achievement.
1/2 2007 texas architect 69 InSIGHT: maSonry & concreTe building a better Wall What happens when you give sophomore architecture students bricks and mortar? Heroic cantilevers go out of style, and formal innovation follows from structural know-how. On Sept. 19 during the annual Brick Day, students at the University of Houston's Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture had a chance to put to use the theory they learn in lecturer Robert Morris' structures class. Brick Day's rules are simple: each design team of graduate and under- graduate students is asked to transform 20 bricks into a section of load- bearing wall. Their success would be rated on craft ability, design, and structural appropriateness. At this event 20 teams faced off to compete for five awards—platinum, gold, silver, bronze, and zinc. The students set forth trying to recall the difference between rowlock shiner and sailor courses, or remember why the instructor talked so much about the Monadnock Building. So, with pre-drawn plans in hand, each team of six students was given a first lesson in bricklaying. The Texas Masonry Council provided the tools and materials for the event, and the Associated Masonry Contractors of Houston provided the volunteer brick mason instructors. Block by block, the walls began to emerge. As team members special- ized – one toweling mortar, another checking the wall for plumb and level – their growing aptitude for laying brick could be read through the courses like a history, each level straighter than the next. But as the University of Houston architecture students face off with bricks and mortar By alex lahti students learned in class, a wall is only as strong as its foundation—so some teams chose to dismantle and rebuild their walls with their newly honed skills. The designs were as varied as there were teams—some squat, some tall, some straightforward. Others might be called "deconsrtructivist." A few groups dared to build corbelled arches. One team, comprised solely of female students, prided their wall's straight grout lines. Another proudly showed off their serpentine wall: "just like Thomas Jefferson's," they said in chorus. And for the most part, the students were able to achieve their design intentions, many admitting that they would do it differently in the future. And that is exactly what Brick Day is about, giving young designers the chance to make mistakes. Instructors at the College of Architecture have a similar attitude—learn- ing happens best through doing. Burdette Keeland, the namesake for the college's future advanced design facility that will be a home for the growing industrial design department, is remembered for such aphorisms as "the war is on the walls." I will never forget my second-year studio instructor's ever-present response, "Well, let's see it." So let's put brick to mortar, and see what comes up. Alex Lahti is a graduate student in the University of Houston's Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture. (above) University of houston second-year architecture student sonia huda levels a brick as she and her team 2 cohorts participate in the 'Build a Better Brick Wall contest' held during the University of houston's fall semester.

I qiute liked this pencil; even though it wasn't holy grail for me, it is a pretty good colour for my naturally quite dark eyebrows, and it was very easy to use.
The colour doesn't seem to have any red tones in it, but it wouldn't be suitable for someone with black eyebrows. It is amazing though how depending on how hard you press on the skin with it, it will appear lighter or darker. This means you can a have few different brow looks using the same pencil.
The spoolie brush on the end is also handy for brow grooming.

I have found the BEST eyebrow pencil ever! The pencil is slim and tiny (about 5 inches long) and the skinny nib is dry, matte and firm... none of that soft waxy crayon-y stuff that most other brow pencils are made of (that can be easily rubbed off). KA's brow color really stays put and lasts much longer than any other brow colors I have tried. The "brunette" color is also perfect - neither too warm/chocolatey brown nor too dark. A muted taupey brown that looks very natural on me. I also love the stiff spoolie brush on the other end. Downside is that it is SO expensive...

This is the SUPREME eye brow pencil! Before I had bought it, I'd been looking high and low for the perfect pencil that's both delicate in application yet fills in spots realistically and this is IT. I really can't see anyone being dissappointed or going wrong with it - it fits all shades of brunettes and the pencil tip creates very fine lines that don't have that "drawn on" look that many thicker eyebrow pencils have.

This is eyebrow pencil perfected. Convenience is excellent due to the small size, spoolie brush is on the end, and no need for extra sharpener. The color is natural and soft. I don't know if I could ever use another brand again.

I decided to give this eyebrow pencil a try, and it is a great product! At first, I was a little reluctant to believe this brow pencil came in just one color and that it would match my eyebrows, but it did! And my eyebrows are not always the same color due to tinting. What I like most abut this product is its ease of use. It does not require an eyebrow brush to apply. It goes on smoothly and the fact that its retractable makes it so easy to travel. Depending on how much pressure you apply determines how light or dark you want the shade to look. I will most likely continue to use this product rather than the Smashbox brow powder and wax because this product will most likely last longer and requires less time to apply.
Although I love the quality of this product, I opted not to repurchase it because the brow pencil only lasted me for 2 months. I ended up buying the Anastasia Beverly Hills eye brow pencil, and it's been 3 months since I purchased it, and still have plenty of the pencil left. Even with frequent sharpening!

I am fair skinned and have very sparse eyebrows and it is so important to have a "natural" looking brow when doing eyebrow makeup. I was hesitant at first since it only comes in one color. But this is my eyebrow HG! I have tried waxes, powders etc and the color just does not match or the powdery application is just unnatural when your eyebrows are thin and sparse. So happy about this! I have always loved his work and trust really paid off! This is a wonderful brow pencil. The strokes really make the difference and it goes on beautifully! You wont be disappointed!

Eyebrow products are probably the last makeup product I would have ever thought I would need, want, or use. I have fairly thick, dark eyebrows that I keep naturally shaped, so I didn't think they could benefit from anything. Also, the one thing I absolutely detest is fake, drawn on eyebrows. Nothing looks more unattractive. So needless to say I was extremely hesitant for the SA at Nordstrom's to try this on me. But she insisted and I was heading home afterwards so I figured, why not? It really is a lovely little product afterall. A few little, natural looking strokes really added a nice polished look to my brows. Gives a bit more structure and fills in any tiny gaps really easily. I love the spoolie on the end, which lets me blend perfectly. Love the packaging too. A new favorite product for me, and such a nice surprise!

Thank you so much ladies! I would have never discovered this little gem if not for the great reviews. It is so easy to apply and looks very natural. The pencil itself is very thin, so it's great for precision touchups, and the spoolie on the other end blends out any mistakes for flawless looking brows. You CAN use this to draw individual hairs it's so thin, but I am always in such a rush, I just fill in like normal and my brows still look great. I purchased this in January, so I can't comment on how long it lasts, but I'm hoping for the price paid, that it lasts a long time! I was previously using the Chanel Scuplting pencil, which was nice, but I MUCH prefer this. I don't think I'll be straying anytime soon! LOVE!
UPDATE: It's now the middle of July and I'm still on the same one. It's SO worth the cost!

Don't get me wrong. This was my HG of brow pencils. It's neutral ash brown color and hard lead make it ideal for all haircolors. It is a SUPERB product. The problem is that if you have dark hair and sparse brows, this pencil will run out very quickly. Obviously, you must use more to match your haircolor if you are a brunette. For me, this meant purchasing a new KA pencil every three weeks! One plus is that unlike many other automatic pencils, KA's is retractable.
I'm giving it 4 lippies because IMO at $25.00 plus shipping, it's not a good value for very dark haired brunettes.
I'll just have to keep looking for something else.
UPDATE: Origins Fill In The Blanks for Brunettes isn't bad. It's the same amount of product, but HALF the price. Though it requires sharpening, Iman's Blackest Brown pencil has no red and a firm lead. It's an excellent alternative for brunettes. Price: $7.99.
UPDATE to my previous update:
Dang it - KA's pencil really IS the BEST one out there.
Using dark brown, no-red-in-it powder eyeshadow such as Bobbi Brown Mahogany with a slanted, stiff brow brush to fill in after using KA pencil to outline my brows is the best bet for me--brows don't go as greasy/shiny during the day.
If you have oily skin, remember to lightly powder those penciled or powdered in brows when you powder your nose.

-Lecturer's comments
'Liz Wood has given us an essential, thoughtful and engaging book which contributes to the discourse of early years pedagogy. The book is a speculative work that offers ways of thinking and a fresh perspective about play by engaging with theory and practice as they are interrelated in the reality of early years pedagogy. This book situates play in the centre of early years pedagogy and deals with the debates around learning, curriculum, assessment and policy, not only through a lucid discussion of play, but also through highly effective and moving examples of play situations in practice'

The new production of Don Giovanni at the Metropolitan Opera is well cast but marred by poor conducting
Don Giovanni is dragged down to hell at the conclusion of Mozart's opera, and the new Metropolitan Opera production shows him sinking into a gap in the stage surrounded by shooting flames. It is the best send-off that Mozart's protagonist has had in my experience, and it concludes a dramatically effective version with a strong and attractive cast. Sadly, Don Giovanni is a conductor's opera, and the Met's new principal conductor Fabio Luisi simply was not prepared to replace the ailing James Levine. The Met orchestra, one of the best in the world, sounded like a provincial Italian ensemble.
The Met is now the world's premiere venue. It remains an oasis of tradition, which means that it tries to portray what composers had in mind, rather than what occurs to the clever young director of the moment. Michael Grandage, the trendy British director of the Met's new Don Giovanni, offers no inappropriate innovations. Set designer Christopher Oram presents a realistic Spanish street scene on turntables that open to reveal a semi-circle. This allows for smooth scene changes and keeps the music going at a smart pace, a distinct service to musical continuity. For those who do not know the opera, the current Met version offers an excellent point of entry.
Mariusz Kwiecien, the Polish baritone, sang for the first time on October 25 after back surgery delayed his Met debut. He was worth waiting for. Unlike the suave Dons of the Met past—Ezio Pinza or Cesare Siepi—Kwiecien portrays Giovanni as a brute and rapist. That is entirely legitimate, although it leaves one perplexed as to what Donna Elvira saw in him. His well-produced voice lies on the lighter side of the bass-baritone spectrum. Luca Pisaroni portrayed a young and vigorous Leporello in place of the usual cringing buffo figure; that is a welcome change and makes his Act II impersonation of his master more credible.
The young Latvian soprano Marina Rebeka drew well-deserved cheers as Donna Anna. She is a great beauty and a convincing actress, but her voice portends an important career; it has both flexibility and dramatic brass. Barbara Frittoli's now-notorious wobble made her first-act contributions almost unlistenable; by "Mi trade" in Act II, her voice was under control. It is a beautiful instrument plagued by poor technique. Ramón Vargas gave a flawless reading of Ottavio, and Mojca Erdmann and Joshua Bloom shone as Zerlina and Masetto.
In some ways, though, the evening recalled Faust more than Don Juan, for Fabio Luisi must have sold his soul to the devil to get the principal conductor's job at the Met. Never in four and a half decades of attending the Met have I heard such a sloppy reading of a score, excepting Leonard Slatkin's disastrous La Traviata in March 2010. Slatkin, the director of the Detroit Symphony and a conductor of high reputation, simply was unprepared; he also was temperamentally unsuited to Verdi. He had the good sense to withdraw from subsequent performances.
Only the most perfunctory applause greeted Maestro Luisi when he took his second-act bow. The Met audience loves to love Don Giovanni, but it showed no enthusiasm for Levine's substitute. His troubles began with the Allegro section of the overture: His tempo was so rushed that the woodwinds would break in on the downbeat before the strings had finished the previous measure, literally colliding. That was not a one-off event; the same collisions occurred in the introduction to the second-act finale and the orchestral introduction to Elvira's first-act aria, "A chi mi dice mai."
The Met's General Manager Peter Gelb might have been beguiled by Luisi's tenure with the Vienna Symphony, the second-tier ensemble in Mozart's city. Gelb may not be aware that the Viennese do not require a conductor to play Mozart. In 2002 I watched the first chairs of the Vienna Philharmonic's string sections wrest control of the orchestra from a French guest conductor haplessly leading Marriage of Figaro and conduct the orchestra from their desks. James Levine made the Met into a great orchestra, but it isn't yet ready to conduct itself in Don Giovanni.
In an interview published in the Met program brochure, Luisi said of Don Giovanni that "every note has meaning. It's like Wagner that way." Luisi's reading of the score was a bit like Wagner, but in the way Rossini put it: a few good moments surrounded by awful quarter-hours.

By Donna Freydkin, USA TODAY
They shop, sup and celebrate together. So it's hardly shocking that Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckham have started to resemble each other. Holmes, 28, and Beckham, 33, have become Tinseltown's most hyperstyled twins. USA TODAY enlists some fashion watchers to dissect the case of fashion double vision.
The hair
Just in time for her move to Los Angeles this July, Beckham went short. And in sync with her, Holmes chopped off her own locks into an easy shag. "She's more influenced by Posh in terms of style," says hair whiz Luke O'Connor, who has styled the tresses of Debra Messing and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. "Posh is a trendsetter with her hair; she has the coolest haircuts. She looks amazing." Maybe their follicular similarities are simply a sign of a strong friendship. "Friends shop together and tend to dress alike and get similar haircuts," says New York-based makeup artist Ramy Gafni, who has worked on Britney Spears and Naomi Campbell.
The clothes
Before hooking up with hubby Tom Cruise, Holmes favored girlie frocks or sleek ensembles by Carolina Herrera. Now, she's all about Giorgio Armani Privé, Balenciaga and towering Christian Louboutin heels. Sort of like her pal Beckham. "When Katie married Tom Cruise, I knew her look would have to spruce up, and now, she's gone the Posh direction: very couture," says Gafni. "And it goes hand in hand with fashionably being very thin." The change hasn't gone unnoticed. "My daughter used to take yoga classes with Katie when she lived downtown, and she used to be much more casual and relaxed," says Helena Stuart, founder and head designer of Only Hearts, the label worn by Keri Russell and Jessica Biel. "Now she's much more sophisticated. Before, she wore sweats. I've never seen a picture of Posh when she's not glammed up, and I see that reflected in Katie now."
The shades
Whether cheering David Beckham at his final Madrid game or going shopping in L.A., Holmes now sports giant spectacles. It's no coincidence that Beckham has her own line of dVb oversized sunglasses, worn by her pal. "Those two always wear the big glasses," says cobbler Bettye Muller, whose shoes have been worn by Jennifer Hudson and Cameron Diaz. "It's absolutely crazy how alike they look. They may be doing it to avoid attracting attention, but it does just the opposite."
The poses
The pout. The enigmatic expression. That dramatic turn to the camera. Holmes and Beckham even pose the same way in public. "They are strikingly similar," says Gafni. "(Katie) extends her head the way Victoria does, like the head is too heavy for the body. It makes her look like she's hungry. Victoria always has that look. Now, Katie has taken a page out of her book." One reason that Holmes is emulating Beckham? The latter has styled the former, most recently for the March issue of Harper's Bazaar. That dismays Muller, who wants a little individuality. "All these celebrities are starting to look alike. There are a few stylists who work with all of them, so they don't have too much style of their own. And they're overly produced. And God forbid they went out without those massive bags or shades."

Judge backs Calif. high-speed rail over farmers
Friday - 11/16/2012, 9:33pm EST
By JULIET WILLIAMS
Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - A judge denied a request Friday from Central Valley farmers who sought to halt work on California's ambitious high-speed rail project, allowing work on the $68 billion project to continue at an aggressive pace.
Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Timothy Frawley denied a request for a preliminary injunction, saying that the agency overseeing the project "acted reasonably and in good faith" in trying to comply with California environmental law.
Groups representing Central Valley farmers had hoped to stop the California High-Speed Rail Authority from all planning and engineering work because of their claims that the authority did not thoroughly weigh the potential environmental harms of the project.
Frawley did not rule on the merits of their case, which is expected to be heard this spring, but said he was persuaded that the state generally sought to comply with California's rigorous environmental laws, and that the potential harm to the state was much greater than the potential harm to farmers along the route.
The rail authority's chairman, Dan Richard, applauded the decision.
"Both the voters and the Legislature have spoken on high-speed rail," he said in a statement. "The judge's decision ensures that we can continue to move forward with our preparatory work to build the first segment of high-speed rail in the Central Valley, with a plan to break ground next summer."
The initial section will be a 65-mile segment running from Merced to Fresno, in the heart of California's agricultural industry.
In making his ruling Friday, the judge acknowledged that California laws require an understanding of a project's harm to the environment. Yet he said he did not feel there was sufficient reason to grant farmers a preliminary injunction, since actual construction is not slated to begin until July 2013.
The rail authority argued in court that the potential harm to the state for halting the massive transportation project was far greater than the objections of Central Valley farmers and landowners _ up to $3.2 billion in federal funding if the bullet train does not meet federal deadlines, and $8 million to $10 million in higher construction costs.
"In this case _ forgive me _ we don't really care what goes on statewide. We're very concerned about what's happening in our county, and what's happening in our county is very real and it's happening every day," said Anja Raudabaugh, executive director of the Madera County Farm Bureau, one of the parties to the lawsuit. "My guys can't get operating loans to plant trees next year. My guys can't get operating loans to buy equipment for expanding their operations because they're in the footprint of the alignment."
The decision allows the rail authority to begin buying land along the proposed route and continue with site surveys, engineering design work and geological testing that began months ago.
Jeff Morales, chief executive of the rail authority, said the agency takes farmers' concerns seriously and wants to address them.
With the court decision out of the way, "we can begin interacting with property owners much more directly and start working with them to address their particular concerns," he said outside court.
The rail authority has already surveyed more than 300 parcels of land along the proposed route since Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation giving his approval in July.
Lawmakers approved the first phase of the planned 800-mile line this summer, allowing the state to begin selling $2.6 billion in bonds for construction of the first 130-mile stretch of the bullet train in the Central Valley. That approval also allowed the state to tap $3.2 billion from the federal government.
The money is contingent upon completing the first phase of the project by 2017, requiring what officials say is an unprecedented construction pace.
Voters approved issuing $10 billion in bonds for the project in 2008, but public support for the plan has dwindled in recent years as the project's expected costs have soared. The most recent estimate is at least $68 billion for the completed project linking Northern and Southern California.
In one of their court filings, opponents said rail officials are spending furiously because they hope "to become so financially committed to the currently conceived section alignment that it will be unthinkable to later choose another course."

To the editor:
From the White House, our country and all she ever stood for is in complete disarray. We are being invaded at our Southern border with Mexico. This has been caused by President Obama and has dream team waving the multitudes across our border. This is all about future votes for the dreaded Democrats, whether they are here legally or illegally.
He and the rest of the Democrats know they can completely control America by giving millions of foreign people everything that we spent all our lives working for — and for free. Their king Obama knows this is great and complete power in the hands of the Democrats.
They know if they are allowed to do this, it will be the end of the two-party system. That way, they can build their socialist society. Everyone — and I do mean every person in America — will be completely controlled by their own government.
We must stop this movement with our next midterm election. If we don't get out with our vote and stop the Democrats, we are doomed as a free nation. I firmly believe this was Obama's plan from the beginning.
We must show him the door. He must be replaced soon. Our future is at stake.

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia's hopes of qualifying for the semi-finals of the Men's World Team squash championship ended abruptly after being severely outclassed by France in the quarter-finals at Paderborn, Germany, on Thursday.
Malaysia's best result was a quarter-final appearance in 2007, when they lost to France and finished fifth.
Paired with the third-seeded France once again in the quarter-finals, the Mohd Azlan Iskandar-led Malaysians were again no match for their opponents.
France No. 1 and world No. 6 Gregory Gaultier gave his country the perfect start when he raced to a 9-1 lead in the first set before wrapping up the tie against Azlan 11-4, 11-6, 11-4 in 55 minutes.
The evergreen Thierry Lincou then sealed the win after outplaying old nemesis Ong Beng Hee 12-10, 11-2, 11-7 in 47 minutes.
"Lincou played very well and his lobs, in particular, were exceptional. It was not the usual kind of lob which floats away but it's one that 'dies' at the end," said Beng Hee.
"I have been learning that shot from him for years and today it was a good weapon for him and he played very well."
In the dead rubber, Mathieu Castagnet took just 18 minutes to beat Asian champion Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan 11-8, 11-2.
National head coach Allan Soyza was not too disappointed by the defeat "as the team are still on course to achieving the top-six target".
"Gregory and Thierry were in superb form and never gave Azlan and Beng Hee any chance," said Allan in an email.
"It was not that Azlan played poorly but Gregory was simply on song and he is close to the form that took him to No. 1 in the world rankings. It's a pity someone had to lose.
"As for Beng Hee, he had his chances against Thierry, who did not have the best of seasons due to injury, and he started well leading 9-5 in the first set.
"However Thierry eventually clawed back and regained control of the match with greater precision shots. In the end Beng Hee still played quite well, he really didn't have much to work with.
"Overall we got beaten by two great performances by probably two of the greatest French players ever but we're still on course for a top-six finish and it's not too bad."

Early life and education[edit]
|This section requires expansion with: parentage, birthplace and pre-college education. (August 2012)
He graduated from Muhlenberg College, in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in 1971.[1]
McCallum joined the staff of Sports Illustrated magazine in 1981, and became known for his articles on the National Basketball Association (NBA).[1] He won the Basketball Hall of Fame's Curt Gowdy Media Award – Print in 2005.[2]
During the 2005–06 NBA pre-season, McCallum began working as an unofficial assistant coach with the Phoenix Suns NBA basketball team, based in Phoenix, Arizona, as part of an assignment for Sports Illustrated. The piece soon evolved into a larger project, as the Suns granted McCallum full access to their practices and strategy sessions throughout the entire season. The resulting work was his book :07 Seconds or Less – My Season on the Bench with the Runnin' and Gunnin' Phoenix Suns (2006).[3][4]
In November 2008, McCallum announced that he had accepted a contract buyout from Sports Illustrated, but he has continued[clarification needed] to write pieces for the magazine as a special contributor.[5]
Additionally, McCallum wrote Unfinished Business: On and Off the Court With the 1990-91 Boston Celtics, as well as Dream Team: How Michael, Magic, Larry, Charles, and The Greatest Of All Time Conquered the World and Changed the Game of Basketball Forever, a nonfiction book chronicling the players on the Dream Team and the events before, during and after the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

11 December 2013 15:48 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--US butadiene (BD) production will bottom out in the next few years because of increased ethane cracking before rebounding on new cracker capacity, a consultant said on Wednesday.
US BD production is expected to bottom out at 6.0m lb/day (2,722 tonnes/day) as increased ethane cracking lowers production of BD, said Dan Lippe, managing partner of Petral Consulting. He made his comments at the 1st ICIS US Butadiene & Derivatives Conference.
However, by 2020, US BD production is expected to rebound to 7.0m-7.5m lb/day as 6-7 new US ethane crackers are brought on board.
The focus on ethane crackers is tied to production cost advantages for ethylene production, as cracking ethane gives US producers a 15-35 cent/lb advantage over naphtha-based production, Lippe said.
Although BD imports are expected to increase based on tighter US supply, Lippe said they will not offset the loss of domestic production.
However, weaker demand for BD could ease some of the expected market tightness.

Noted Hindi litterateur Dr. Tribhuwan Nath Upadhay has won the Indira Gandhi Raj Bhasha Award
A tall, well-built man, with pepper-and-salt hair, wearing a safari suit and walking with long strides in a Mayapuri colony every evening, his wife trying to keep pace with him – that's the image one has in mind of Dr. Tribhuwan Nath Upadhay. The Hindi litterateur was presented the Indira Gandhi Raj Bhasha Award for his path-breaking book, Brahmand Aur Telescope (Universe & Telescope) last week by President Pranab Mukherjee. The book was co-authored by Kali Shankar, who received the award along with him at the Vigyan Bhavan function.
Born at Mau, UP, in 1949, he got his Ph.D degree from Chaudhury Charan Singh University, Meerut, and worked as a scientist in the Defence Institute of Physiology and Applied Sciences, a part of DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) in Delhi, from where he retired.
He has done research work in the field of high altitude physiology and environmental science, authorized several research papers and published five books on scientific subjects. Among the awards he has won, besides the recent one, are Rear Admiral M. S. Malhotra awards for 1982 and 1994 on gastro-intestinal function in humans at high altitudes. He also won the cash award at the February 2000 AIBI conference in Vellore for the best paper on biochemical changes in human blood after long-term consumption of brackish water and the second prize awarded by DRDO in 2010 on human existence in the high mountains. All his works have been in Hindi, a language sorely in need of more publications in science.
Upadhyay's grandfather, Hari Shankar, was a famous poet and writer as are two of his uncles. Though a man of science, he is deeply religious and a yoga enthusiast influenced by Osho and Shri Yoganandji. A fond grandfather, he still continues to write and shares his interests with wife Lakshmi, a former principal, along with whom he visits lonely colony residents in his spare time.

The Riots Wins GLCA First-Book Award
April 3, 2012
The Riots, a collection of nonfiction essays by Danielle Cadena Deulen, has won the Great Lakes Colleges Association New Writers Award for Creative Nonfiction. The award comes with an honorarium, and travel expenses and hotel accommodations in order for the winner to travel to each of the GLCA's thirteen colleges, giving readings, leading discussions, and meeting students and faculty. The winner in poetry was Shane Book's Ceiling of Sticks, and Alan Heathcock's Volt won for fiction.
Here's an excerpt from the GLCA judges' citation for The Riots: These essays are highly compressed and highly realized, sharply drawn, intense in their urgently lyrical way, exquisitely written. Deulen's dialogues and descriptions…seem to burn rather than ease into memory…the imagery is often beautiful and surprising, the surprise like tiny explosions now and again within a sentence, a paragraph, on a page."
Deulen's book was first published after winning the AWP Award for Creative Nonfiction. It was published by the University of Georgia Press, which, interestingly, has now published books that have won in each of the three genres of the GLCA New Writers Award for poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction.

Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton was met by racist fans at Monday's Spanish Grand Prix.
Lewis arrived to the sight of race fans made up in blackface taunting him about the color of his skin, Latina.com reports. This follows a similar incident last year at the same spot where a small group of spectators repeatedly harassed him.
The driver's colleagues, who were furious over the racist display, immediately came to his defense.
"This is utterly and totally unacceptable," said racing vet Eddie Jordan. "After what happened previously here with Lewis, the fans at this circuit still have a suspended sentence hanging over them."
Ramon Pedrera, the circuit's director, tried to settle the crowd as tensions mounted during the incident. "No type or offensive behavior can be tolerated," he said.
The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, which is the governing body for world motor sports, has threatened to pull the Spanish Grand Prix before. However, a spokesmen for the FIA assured that, "These types of fans are the absolute minority."
There is speculation that the behavior was sparked by Lewis' rivalry with fellow driver Fernando Alonso.

A trained person will be present on a continuous basis
CHENNAI: A Lactation Counselling Room will soon be opened at the Institute of Child Health (ICH) here to clarify the doubts of young mothers, who have begun breastfeeding their babies. ICH director Saradha Suresh said a trained person would be present at the room on a continuous basis.
Speaking at a function to mark World Breastfeeding Week, she said mothers have various doubts about feeding their babies.
UNICEF State representative Suresh Kumar said the system of certifying hospitals that conducted deliveries as 'Baby friendly' must be revived. Obstetric Society of Southern India president Jayashree Gajaraj said expectant mothers must be taught about the importance of breastfeeding during pregnancy.
ICH Deputy Superintendent K. Githa said the hospital had planned week-long programmes, including quiz for nursing students, programme for mothers at Medavakkam PHC and also a discussion with students of Ethiraj College.
Breast milk bank
Other hospitals too organised functions to mark the day. The event organised by Kanchi Kamakoti CHILDS Trust Hospital was inaugurated by Carnatic musician Sudha Raghunathan. Senior Consultant – Neonatologist Rahul Yadav said it had plans to start a breast milk bank.
The hospital would send a team of doctors and technicians for training a private hospital in Mumbai.
Senior Consultant – Paediatrics Lalitha Janakiraman said as part of the week-long celebrations, the hospital would be organising outreach programmes for residents of Sita Nagar slum in Nungambakkam and at Jafferkhanpet.
On Friday, a well baby contest and a poster competition for students of nursing students were conducted.
At the Institute of Social Paediatrics (ISP) of Government Stanley Medical College and Hospital, an exhibition about the importance of breastfeeding was organised. Hospital dean (in charge) T. Venkatakrishnan said breastfeeding reduced incidences of breast cancer among women and also helped in preventing immediate conception after delivery.
ISP director (in charge) Sujatha Sridharan said several programmes including a group discussion for mothers, a human chain, discussion for staff and student nurses would be conducted.
Appeal to Chief Minister
TN-FORCES (Forum For Creche and Child Care Services in Tamil Nadu), has appealed to Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi that monetary assistance under Dr. Muthulakshmi Reddy Maternity Scheme to eligible mothers be provided even in exceptional domestic deliveries. It has also sought to increase the income ceiling under the scheme from Rs.12,000 to Rs.24,000.

I thought this was pretty interesting. I'm not sure of the sample size, though; it's just stated to be more than 1,000.
In results from seven separate studies, they found a consistent tendency among those they termed upper-class to be more likely to break the law while driving, take valued goods from others, lie in negotiations, cheat to increase their chances of winning a prize and endorse unethical behaviour at work.
The reason for the ethical difference was simple, according to the paper being published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a leading U.S. science journal. Wealthier people are more likely to have an attitude that greed is good.
At first glance, it might seem more likely that poorer people would be more tempted to cheat or break the law, in order to improve their lot in life. But a growing body of research is coming to the opposite conclusion that its people at the top of the income scale for whom honesty, integrity, and generosity seem to be a challenge.
In the United States, for instance, despite the perception that the rich are great philanthropists, data show that upper-class households donate a smaller proportion of their incomes to charity than do lower-class families. Other research has found that those who are well off have a reduced concern for others.

LOS ANGELES -- Days after starting his first regular season with the Los Angeles Lakers, Steve Nash will miss at least a week because of has a small fracture he sustained in his left leg. The injury to his tibula, announced by the Lakers on Saturday, was revealed in a MRI exam.
