Whatever the course of events in Libya, it is obvious that those in favour of a coup in the West's interests will provoke bloody incidents throughout the country. The mysterious sharpshooters are due to appear quite soon... May the hasty evacuation of a number of embassies from Tripoli mean by any chance that the sharpshooters are already at their operational sites..
Nil NIKANDROV | 28.02.2011
The Arab world saw an Israel which couldn't exist, let alone be armed and an undeclared member of the "Nuclear Club" without US support. To them, the US passivism over Israel's nuclear weapons while setting their hair on fire over Iran's nuclear program is raw hypocrisy – which it is...
Rafe MAIR | 28.02.2011
Pre-amble: I started writing this before events in Libya escalated, but it illustrates why it is imperative that we understand what exactly is going on in the Middle East and North Africa, especially when it comes to distinguishing between our wishes and reality. This is especially true of what is happening in Libya, where fact and invention have become blurred in the press coverage..
William BOWLES | 27.02.2011
The break-up of Libya, if it comes true, will create "new opportunities" for the West. The Western countries can seize something, still formally owned by the Libyan state and to reduce costs on supplies of oil from Libya, which will become "a former state". Similar thing happened earlier in Iraq...
Vladimir NESTEROV | 27.02.2011
There is no question that Colonel Muammar Al-Gaddafi (Al-Qaddafi) is a dictator. He has been the dictator and so-called "qaid" of Libya for about 42 years… Although all three have dictatorship in common, Qaddafi's Libya is quite different from Ben Ali's Tunisia or Mubarak's Egypt. The Libyan leadership is not outright subservient to the United States and the European Union…
Mahdi Darius NAZEMROAYA | 26.02.2011
The revolt in Libya makes us seriously revise our attitude to the events in the Arab East... Accumulation of serious social and economic contradictions when it reaches the point, after which an outbreak of social rage follows, is the real base of national protests... The Islamic world with its opposition to globalism is in search for a new self identification. Islam as a culture does not accept globalism as such...
Dmitriy SEDOV | 25.02.2011
The themes of oil and blood are interwoven in the recent developments in Libya. In the meantime, the West's behavior is utterly disgraceful as it attempts to combine support for the revolution pulled off by the protesting crowds with concerns over the interests of oil-importing countries.
Yuri TYSSOVSKI | 24.02.2011
On February 10, the military aircraft of the Air Force of the United States, C-17 Globemaster III, registration 77187, landed at the Ezeiza international airport of the Argentine capital. From the Boeing's bottomless carcasses the custom officers began to take out heavy boxes delivered from the base of the 7 th Special Forces Group in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. In the valise of Globemaster III they found a brochure with a phrase written in 15 languages: "I am a soldier of the US army. Please tell my embassy that I was arrested in your country".....

February 23, 2011 is the end of Serbian Radical Party leader Vojislav Seselj's eighth year in the custody of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). The Tribunal turned down Seselj's request to see Russian doctors – he was told he is supposed to be treated by medics from specific NATO countries...
Alexander MEZYAEV | 23.02.2011
The unthinkable may be happening. For the first time since the Islamic revolution in Iran 32 years ago, Iran sought and obtained permission for its warships to cross Suez Canal. With Libya sliding into anarchy and growing uncertainties in the Persian Gulf, oil market may become volatile and Iran's role can become crucial....
Melkulangara BHADRAKUMAR | 22.02.2011
The June 26 speech by Alexey Miller, the chairman of the board of Gazprom, at the annual general meeting of shareholders proved to be a cold shower for all those who hoped that Russia would pull out of Europe's gas markets. Despite the fact that much of his report was devoted to Gazprom's operations in the Russian Far East, the data Miller provided confirmed that Russian gas will not be squeezed out of Europe's energy balance. Moreover, in the coming years Russian gas supplies will continue to play a steadily larger role in ensuring European energy security...

Matthew Riddle was released from his UFC contract after failing a drug test at the recent UFC on FUEL 7 event in London, England.
Riddle, a medical marijuana user, tested positive for cannabis and had his win over Che Mills declared a no contest. He was then returned to the regional leagues, which he declared himself to be happy with because he ādidnāt like the direction the UFC is going in anywayā.
Last week UFC president Dana White responded by declaring Riddle a moron and saying Riddle, who had said he would refuse an invitation to rejoin the UFC, would now never be getting that call back.
āI really donāt have a reaction to it because, to be honest, Dana Whiteā¦itās sad but heās uneducated to the sport and the industry,ā Riddle said this week to Stephanie Joplin.
āHeās calling me a moron for using my medicine when half his fighters are on steroids. Itās pretty offensive, but at the same time, I am looking at the source, and he canāt help himself.
āEven now, I donāt have a dislike for Dana White or the UFC. But really, heās just a juice monkey whoās bald, who doesnāt know sh** about business. He just yells the F word and expects things to be handed to him.ā

Gupta faces new claim about alleged P&G tip
Bloomberg reported former Procter & Gamble Co. board member Rajat Gupta faces a new claim involving quarterly sales forecast for P&G, U.S. prosecutors said in a court filing.
Prosecutors filed an amended bill of particulars Tuesday providing details about the alleged tips they plan to prove the former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. director provided in their case against him.
Gupta tipped convicted Galleon Group Inc. co-founder Raj Rajaratnam and their unnamed co-conspirators about "P&G's organic sales growth forecast for the October-December quarter prior to P&G's public announcement on or about Dec. 11, 2008," according to the filing in federal court.
Gupta was charged by Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara's office in October. He pleaded not guilty. He is scheduled to go on trial May 21.

Design and Application of Heavy Lift Beams and Hitches
STG Incorporated
Tuesday, November 13, 2012 from 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM (AKST)
This event has been organized for the Alaska Professional Engineering community and will present an overview of some of the engineering activities that undergird the data published in various "rigging" specifications and handbooks for common types of hitches. The event will provide insight on the governing specifications and methods for the design of lift beams along with their specific application in Alaska's unique environmental conditions.
The event begins with a formal lecture led by William Merrell, PE at the Alaska Wild Berry Theater. Mr. Merrell has worked closely with the structural steel fabrication industry since 1966. He currently specializes in the design of connections and the preparation of engineered erection procedures for steel structures. The event continues with a hosted lunch at STG's corporate office and culminates with a heavy lift demonstration incorporating the strategies and engineering considerations discussed during the morning presentation.
Attendees will also earn 3 PDH credits through their participation with the event.
Headquartered in Anchorage, STG Incorporated is a heavy industry contractor offering construction services and management to clients across the state of Alaska. STG remains one of the state's most experienced constructors of remote energy systems and focuses specifically on projects involving utility-scale wind farms, tower construction and pile foundations along with power generation, bulk fuel storage facilities, and heavy lift services.
Together, STG and its subsidary Alaska Crane, Ltd. currently maintain one of the largest fleets of lattice boom crawler cranes in Alaska with heavy lift capacities ranging from 85 to 660 US tons. More information can be found on-line at www.stgincorporated.com.

About six weeks ago my wife told me she had a surprise for me.

Yes, you are right. The rubber is loose there and has been for some time. I used to carry the NEX7 and the OMD together in a waist bag. A bit of a squeeze now and then and that is probably why I lost the eye cup. I usually secure them with fine fishing line.

Not so long ago zombies rarely shuffled out of B-grade horror movies and cult comic books, but today they are everywhere. Zombies are proliferating, demonstrating an extraordinary capacity to transport fluidly from genre to genre, from the apocalyptic future to the already survived past, and in and out of fictional form.
Today they can be found in just about any genre or discourse and as they move sinuously across the cultural landscape they keep morphing; taking on ever new and ever more bizarre associations. Zombies would appear to be unthinkable, the ultimate nightmare of a world devoured by the dead, and yet more and more often this horror-scape provides a form of figurative capture for the way things are. This book explores why.
Zombies explores the recent transformation of zombie from cult genre to a figure that pervades western culture. Rutherford examines the zombie as a powerful metaphor for a constellation of social forces that define contemporary reality. This is an ideal introduction to all that is social about zombies, for students and general readers alike.
Extracts from Zombies, were recently published in Australian newspapers, The Age, The Canberra Times and the Sydney Morning Herald. Available now to read online: www.theage.com.au/entertainment/books/dead-right-20130620-2olqr.html
"A significant contribution to the field of zombie studies… The book is remarkable for the way the author brings together a wide range of contemporary philosophical thought about the zombie… Recommended."
– J M Pulliam, Louisiana State University, Choice Magazine
"Jennifer Rutherford's fine book is an excellent introduction to zombies for those who wish to go beyond mere enjoyment of modern zombie narratives towards a deeper understanding of the mermeneutic implications of the genre."— Max Sipowicz, Australian Book Review

New Euler-Maclaurin expansions and their application to quadrature over the -dimensional simplex
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: The -panel offset trapezodial rule for noninteger values of , is introduced in a one-dimensional context. An asymptotic series describing the error functional is derived. The values of for which this is an even Euler-Maclaurin expansion are determined, together with the conditions under which it terminates after a finite number of terms. This leads to a new variant of one-dimensional Romberg integration. The theory is then extended to quadrature over the s-dimensional simplex, the basic rules being obtained by an iterated use of one-dimensional rules. The application to Romberg integration is discussed, and it is shown how Romberg integration over the simplex has properties analogous to those for standard one-dimensional Romberg integration and Romberg integration over the hypercube.
Using extrapolation, quadrature rules for the s-simplex can be generated, and a set of formulas can be obtained which are the optimum so far discovered in the sense of requiring fewest function values to obtain a specific polynomial degree.

Just in time for its 40th year anniversary, Shout Factory has amassed a glorious Blu-ray remastering of Brian De Palma's 1974 classic, Phantom of the Paradise. A glam-rock musical that's enjoyed a sizeable cult following after an initial muted theatrical release, it represents the filmmaker's most enjoyable attempt at comedy in this vintage satire about consumerism vs. creative control.
On the eve of unveiling his glam rock palace The Paradise, cutthroat music mogul Swan is struggling with how to open with just the right song to be performed by doo-wop group the Juicy Fruits (modeled after Sha Na Na). When Swan hears the music of aspiring singer songwriter Winslow Leach (William Finely, a De Palma regular), he decides he wants his music, an epic cantata modernizing Faust, but not the man. After his tunes are stolen, the songwriter tries to barge his way into Swan's rehearsals but is thrown out, »

When the Sony Pictures Imageworks special-effects team got the screenplay for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, they quickly realized that with great box-office comes even greater responsibility for technical wizardry. The scope of the sequel was much bigger than Marc Webb's 2012 reboot, and in contrast to the numerous night action sequences that dominated the first film, the new movie would extensively showcase Spider-Man slinging through New York in broad daylight, an entirely new set of creative challenges. "For some of the shots of Spider-Man swinging through the city , the computer could take 40 hours to render one frame of the city of New York, »

Bloody musicals… Here is the old school poster and first red band trailer for musical comedy horror Stage Fright starring Meat Loaf and Minnie Driver.
In what looks like Phantom Of The Opera directed by Dario Argento, this blood soaked romp tells the story of a kabuki mask wearing killer terrorising a snobby musical theatre camp. Camp being the operative word. There are lots of quips, creative slayings and enjoyable references to it's forebears; Meat Loaf was in the Rocky Horror Picture Show and Driver was in the movie adaptation of Phantom. It is written and directed by cult short film maker Jerome Sable, most famous for goofball musical slash-fest the The Legend Of Beaver Dam, to which Stage Fright is a spiritual sequel. Looks like fun.
Stage Fright also stars Allie MacDonald and is released in the Us on 3rd April. No UK release date as yet but we'll jeep you posted. »

Review for PARALYZED VETERANS OF AMERICA, Washington, DC, USA
This organization frequently sends me "gifts" that I do not want or need, but which must be expensive to mail out with their solicitations. What a waste. Today I received a solicitation with a cloth tote bag included. I'll donate it to another charity rather than throw it away, but it seems like a very inefficient way to collect funds.

Pitch-Drop Worse Than Watching Paint Dry
By editor
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Even if you have been bored watching paint dry or grass grow or water boil, you have nothing on these scientists. An experiment that began in 1944 at Trinity College in Ireland just now has a definitive result - to test whether a thick substance called pitch flowed and dripped. A funnel with the stuff was placed over a jar. Seventy years later students saw a drip forming, set up a camera, and witnessed the drip drop. It's MORNING EDITION.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
At 15 Omar went to Guantanamo. Here's his story
22 Mar 2013 07:06 GMT | Europe, France, United Kingdom
France's former president, Nicholas Sarkozy, has been indicted over claims he accepted thousands of dollars in illegal donations for his election campaign, reports have said.Sarkozy allegedly took funds from L'Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt, France's richest woman, for his 2007 election campaign.Lawyer Antoine Gillot told French TV i-Tele that Judge Jean-Michel Gentil in the southwestern city of Bordeaux had placed Sarkozy under investigation, after hours of questioning on Thursday.Under French law, a formal investigation is the final step before a suspect is accused of a crime. Sarkozy, who only this month hinted he could make a political comeback, repeatedly has denied taking campaign funds from Bettencourt.The exact charge against Sarkozy is "abuse of weakness", since Bettencourt did not have all her "faculties", according to the newspaper Le Monde.
Last November, Sarkozy was named a key and potentially indictable witness in an investigation involving 90-year-old Bettencourt.
Sarkozy's lawyer represents Bettencourt's former butler, who was also questioned on Thursday along with the former president.
A Paris-based journalist Anne-Elisabeth Moutet told Al Jazeera Sarkozy, 57, could face a suspended jail sentence'Politcal stench'
A poll published on March 18 showed Sarkozy was the overwhelming favourite among conservative voters to run forpresident and for the first time since November 2011, a survey the same week said he also was now more popular than Hollande among the French.
The news of the investigation will provide some respite for President Francois Hollande who is being battered in the polls for his handling of the economy.Hollande also suffered a setback this week when budget minister and cabinet heavyweight Jerome Cahuzac was forced to resign over a tax-fraud inquiry.
Sarkozy's former industry minister Christian Estrosi said there was a "political stench" to the decision.
"Everybody will notice that this happened 48 hours after a Socialist minister was called into question, probably tocompensate for that," he said in a statement.
More cases
Investigating judge Jean-Michel Gentil was looking into conflicting accounts about how many times Sarkozy visited the home of Bettencourt in the run-up to his winning 2007 campaign for president, according to one lawyer.
Bettencourt was declared in a state of dementia in 2006 and was placed under the guardianship of her family in 2011.
Earlier in the probe, Bettencourt's ex-accountant told police she gave $192,000 to the manager of Bettencourt's fortune that was to be passed on to Sarkozy's campaign treasurer."If Mr Gentil placed Mr Sarkozy under investigation this evening it's because he had a reason to do so,'' said Gillot on French TV i-Tele. "It was a semi surprise ... it means the judge has a certain number of facts.''
Bettencourt's family has long had close connections with the UMP party of Sarkozy, who lost presidential immunity when he left office.
Lawyers are also demanding that Sarkozy explain himself in two other cases. One is about the terms of a submarine sale to Pakistan and another concerns lavish spending on opinion polls by his office when he was president.

Forty years young, he may be mates with Obama but behind Jay-Z's celebrity are some of the best verses in hip-hop history
Whatever Jay-Z does he does it better than everyone else. Bragging about his sexual exploits? 'Girls Girls Girls' confirms Jigga's playa status with some of the funniest lines in hip-hop.Confirming his place at the top of the pile?
Listen to 'Ride Or Die' to hear him making cracks about ghostwriting for his clueless competition. Even when Jay turns in with the obligatory emotional track about his dad, he manages to avoid the schmaltz, making 'Moment Of Clarity' sound like he grew up on the set of The Godfather. Last year's 'The Blueprint 3' edged him further ahead of the pack, in turn making "the Yankie hat more famous than
a Yankie can". SW

We want them to be happier with us than they could be anywhere else. The Plymouth Rock Group of Companies has a unique corporate culture and has developed a series of principles that makes this a special place to work.
Put Service First
Our approach to business requires that we attract and keep the best agents and the best customers. We deserve to get the best business only if we offer the most in return. This takes a zealous commitment to service. We should aim to be better at service than anyone else in our business, and to be known for that above all else.
Do It Now
Unnecessary delay is an anathema to excellence. Doing work the moment it is possible to do so prevents backlogs, and backlogs are much harder to cure than to prevent. There is nothing wrong with getting help to prevent a backlog; there is no heroism in letting a backlog build and facing it alone. A sense of urgency underscores our commitment to quality and our intolerance of sloppiness, laziness and indifference.
Be Friendly
We spend nearly half our waking hours at work. Our jobs should have two rewarding components: a sense of satisfaction from the technical work and a sense of companionship with our co-workers. Someone who does every technical assignment perfectly but doesn't contribute to the work and the happiness of others has done only half the job right. We should all take responsibility for making every employee feel good about being with us and working hard, just as we need to make every agent and every customer feel good about choosing to do business with us.
Maintain Our Workplace
Messy spaces and half-finished work papers create stress and a sense of chaos. Everyone feels better when the environment is orderly and calm. Unfortunately, it requires a great deal of effort to keep our work spaces neat. So, be fanatical about the appearance of the office. We should leave only current projects in view and keep window sills, cabinet tops and radiators clear. Everyone should feel responsible for common spaces. We should make our offices look at every moment as though we were about to show them off to the most important visitor we can think of.
Call Attention to Problems
We all feel overwhelmed by our assignments from time to time. Everyone should feel free to call for help when these situations arise. If a co-worker is struggling, always offer help and then make sure the problem gets solved. This generally requires finding someone who can fix whatever is wrong. If the first person alerted does not fix the problem, keep trying until someone does, even if that means going very high up in the Company. We should all have a sense of responsibility for any problem we see and stay with it until it is resolved. Hiding a problem is the worst thing to do; ignoring a problem, even if it appears to be someone else's problem, is almost as harmful.
Seek Constant Improvement
Everything we do at work can be improved upon. We should never hesitate to make recommendations for change that will enhance productivity. Everyone is invited to find ways to streamline existing procedures and get rid of unnecessary and boring tasks. We should always be receptive to state-of-the-art technologies and scientific approaches. We should all be quick to comment, though, if a new idea or experiment isn't working as hoped. Failed experiments are part of seeking progress too.
Treat People with Respect
Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, especially when working together toward a common success. It is disrespectful to refuse to listen to someone else's views or to be rude or insulting. Bias and prejudice are also forms of disrespect and have no place in our offices. Our goal is to treat people the way we would want to be treated — with courtesy, civility and respect. We should be known by our customers, agents and other business acquaintances for the respect we show them and each other. Mutual respect creates a positive work environment, with fewer distractions and stresses, increased job satisfaction and tenures and greater effectiveness.
Communicate About Worries
A job is a relationship between an employee and a company, and as is the case with all human relationships, no one should expect it to be perfect. When an employee feels that something has gone wrong in a job, the Company needs to know that. This usually means bringing the matter to a higher level. Sometimes the Company has made an error and can fix it; sometimes the employee has something to learn. Nothing happens, though, until the problem or disappointment has been brought into the open. Work stresses should not be kept stewing inside, and it does no good to share complaints with people unable to resolve them. Active and constructive communication is the beginning of most solutions.
Be Smart but Not Smug
We should pride ourselves on innovative approaches and admire people who use their brains to the fullest. We hire people with more education than other companies do, and we give preference in promotions to those who have come to us with, or have added, educational accomplishments. On the other hand, there is an infinite amount we do not know. It is imperative that we never get smug about our level of knowledge or our degree of sophistication. Smugness is the worst enemy of creative intellect.
Maintain a Professional Demeanor
Ours is a business office and conduct within it should always reflect professionalism. It's not business-like to eat lunch or read recreationally at publicly visible work stations, to play music that disturbs others or cuts us off from communications, to chat for long periods in hallways or to dress too casually. We want to dress, walk and talk like the respected professionals we strive to be.
Know Your Colleagues
Everyone likes working with friends, and we all want a sense that the Company pays personal attention to our needs and successes. Our staff is encouraged to recruit relatives and good friends for jobs in the Company. All employees are asked to get to know the people they work with and be sensitive to them as individuals. The Company is organized into small units so that people can work closely together in stable teams. Supervisors who have only five or six people in their group can pay attention to every aspect of each person's performance and be empathetic to their feelings. We each have to do our part, though, to make this closeness work. It requires an extra hello, an occasional social visit and a host of the other small attentions that add up to warmth among people.
Be Proud of Where You Work
Our Company is a community. People feel best when they are proud of their community and know that it is accomplishing something worthwhile. If there are questions about how one's work fits into the whole picture or about the behavior of the Company in any area of its work, it is always good to ask and learn. When the Company is mentioned outside our offices, we should all be able to speak about it with pride and a broad base of knowledge. We want to be honest and good citizens, both individually and as a group.
