A reivew of the weekend's action in the Italian Serie A.
Fernando Llorente struck late to both break the tension of a thrilling encounter with Udinese in Turin and fire his club Juventus three points clear of Roma at the top of the Serie A table.
The Sunday night meeting, which somehow ended 1-0, might have been a goalfest if not for remarkable displays of goalkeeping from Gianluigi Buffon and his visiting counterpart Zeljko Brkic.
The veteran Juve stopper was particularly impressive in steering the reigning champions through a sixth league game without conceding a goal.
Brkic stood firm in the final half hour as Antonio Conte's men steadily turned the screw but Spain international Llorente burst his bubble with a header in the first minute of three added on at the Juventus Stadium.
The three points gave Juve a comfortable cushion on previous runaway leaders Roma, who were earlier held in Atalanta. The title rivals meet in the capital city on January 6.
It was a sixth straight league win for the resurgent Bianconeri while an eighth defeat of the season sees Udinese slide into 13th place.
Kevin Strootman had earlier scored on the stroke of full-time to save Roma from their first defeat of the season, but his goal was only good enough to salvage a 1-1 draw at Atalanta.
A second-half free-kick from Davide Brivio saw the Bergamo outfit threaten to end Roma's unbeaten run - the Giallorossi notched 10 straight wins before drawing three times - until Dutch midfielder Strootman spared his team-mates' blushes.
The solitary point earned from a fourth consecutive draw was only enough to see Roma draw level on points with Juve for a few hours.
With daunting games against Fiorentina, AC Milan and Catania beckoning before the two title rivals meet in Rome in the new year, Rudi Garcia's title hopefuls could pay dearly for their current slump.
Mario Balotelli helped AC Milan to a long-awaited Serie A victory as they came from behind to win 3-1 at Catania.
The striker put Milan ahead with a smart finish in the 63rd minute after Riccardo Montolivo had cancelled out Lucas Castro's deflected opener.
A minute after his goal Balotelli was brought down to earn Panagiotis Tachtsidis a straight red card, and Kaka wrapped up a 3-1 win with a fine strike on the counter-attack.
The victory was Milan's second in a matter of days following their 3-0 Champions League win at Celtic, which had ended a seven-match winless run, and will help to further ease the pressure on coach Massimiliano Allegri.
Neighbours Inter Milan were unable to impress new owner Erick Thohir with victory at San Siro as Renan scored late to salvage a 1-1 draw for Sampdoria.
The Indonesian billionaire purchased a 70 per cent stake in the Milan giants in October, ending oil tycoon Massimo Moratti's long-term tenure as president, but had until this weekend been unable to watch the Nerazzurri in action on home turf.
Fredy Guarin fired the hosts ahead in the 18th minute after some spellbinding dribbling from Ricky Alvarez, but Inter struggled to make their early dominance count and struggled to restrain an enthusiastic Samp side.
Visiting coach Sinisa Mihajlovic - an Inter player for two seasons before working as assistant coach to Roberto Mancini - finally unlocked his former club's defence by throwing on substitute Renan, who spared his club from suffering a fourth defeat in five games with his well-taken equaliser.
Sassuolo were denied the chance to claim back-to-back Serie A victories for the first time in their history as Cagliari rallied from two goals down to force a draw at the Stadio Sant'Elia.
The Serie B champions, who were roundly punished throughout their torrid introduction to top-flight football, have since escaped the bottom three with a run of two victories from three games and looked set to win again when Lino Marzorati and Simone Zaza scored during the first half in Sardinia.
The Neroverde are, however, yet to fully shake their naivety at this level and crumbled after the break. Goals from Nene and Marco Sau rescued a 2-2 draw for Cagliari, who would have dropped below their opponents in the table with a second home defeat of the season.
Chievo's shining light Cyril Thereau dazzled the Livorno defence as the home side climbed out of the relegation zone.
The French forward scored Chievo's second goal and had a hand in the third, turning in a man-of-the-match display in the 3-0 success.
After their win against city rivals Hellas Verona last weekend, Chievo were chasing back-to-back victories for the first time this season, and it came with plenty to spare.
The signs were good, given that in eight previous meetings between the teams all three points had gone to Chievo seven times, with the other match drawn.
Coach Eugenio Corini saw Chievo fend off early pressure before easing to their triumph with goals from Marco Rigoni, Thereau and Alberto Paloschi.
On Saturday, Parma spurned the chance to move into the top seven after being held 1-1 at home by a Bologna side who played almost the entire second half with a man less.
Bologna took a 10th-minute lead through Panagiotis Kone, but Parma quickly levelled thanks to Antonio Cassano and they looked firm favourites to go on and claim the three points when visiting defender Frederik Sorensen was dismissed eight minutes into the second half.
Despite that advantage, Parma could not find a winner and they missed the opportunity to leap-frog Lazio and Genoa into the top seven.
Bologna, meanwhile, remain in the bottom four after recording their third draw in their last four matches.
Genoa extended their unbeaten run to five games as they drew 1-1 with Torino at the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris.
Torino had led after seven minutes when Omar El Kaddouri deflected in Alexander Farnerud's 25-yard drive.
The home side grabbed their equaliser on 69 minutes when Daniele Biondini turned in substitute Ioannis Fetfatzidis' inch-perfect assist.

Corporate History
Beginning in the late 19th century, the development of electricity in Indonesia was intensified in several Dutch Companies operating in sugar and tea plantation that developed power plant to meet their personal needs.
Between 1942-1945, there was a great shift from these Dutch manufacturing companies by the Japanese after the Dutch surrendered to the Japanese army in the beginning of World War II.
The shift reoccurred at the end of World War II in August 1945 when the Japanese surrendered to the Allied Forces. This opportunity was taken over by the youths and electricity labourers through Labour/Employee Electricity and Gas delegation together with the Management of KNI Head Office to meet President Soekarno to ask the handover of the Companies to the Government of the Republic of Indonesia. On October 27, 1945, President Soekarno established Electricity and Gas Bureau under the Departement of Public Works and Energy with power plant capacity of 157.5 MW.
On January 1, 1961, Gas and Electricity Bureau was changed to BPU-PLN (Board of General Administration of the State Electricity Company) that focused on electricity, gas and coke sectors. On January 1, 1965 BPU-PLN was dismissed and 2 (two) state owned enterprises were formalised, namely Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN), a state-owned electricity company, to manage electrity power and Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN) to manage gas power.
In 1972, in accordance with Government Regulation No. 17, the State-owned Electricity Company was enacted as a State-owned General Electricity Company and as PKUK responsible to provide electricity to meet public needs. While the Government policy was giving opportunity to the Private Sectors to focus on the provision of electricity, the status of PLN was changed from a General Company to Corporation' as well as PKUK in providing electricity for public needs until the present.

Turmeric tints this dish a beautiful golden yellow that contrasts with the green mint leaves and the brown meatballs. For even more colour, garnish the soup with ruby red pomegranate seeds. Adjust the recipe according to how many guests you'll be serving, and keep warm in a large pot so that they can serve themselves.
1/4 cup dried chickpeas
1 cup water
1/2 tsp salt, divided in half, plus more to taste
1/4 cup dried green or black lentils
6 oz. ground beef
3 tbsp grated yellow onion
1 egg, lightly beaten and divided into 2 equal portions
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, divided in half
1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt
1 tsp all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp ground turmeric
2 tbsp basmati rice
2-3 cups chicken stock or water
2 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tbsp chopped green onion, including tender green tops
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, very finely minced
Pomegranate seeds to garnish (optional)
Step 1: Sort and rinse chickpeas. Put in a saucepan and cover with 1 cup cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 1 hour.
Step 2: Drain the chickpeas and return them to the saucepan. Add cold water to a 2" depth to cover chickpeas. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, add 1/4 tsp of salt, cover and simmer until chickpeas are tender but not falling apart, about 40-50 minutes. Drain and reserve chickpeas.
Step 3: Rinse and sort lentils. Add lentils to a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until firm-tender, about 25 minutes. Drain lentils and set aside.
Step 4: In a bowl, combine ground beef, grated onion, half of the beaten egg, the remaining 1/4 tsp of salt, pepper, and 1/4 tsp of cinnamon. Mix well with your hands. To check that the mixture is seasoned to your taste, fry a tiny patty of the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary. Form the remaining beef mixture into tiny meatballs about the size of a nickel. Refrigerate.
Step 5: To make the soup base, spoon the yogurt into a medium saucepan. Whisk in the remaining half of the beaten egg, as well as the flour, turmeric and remaining 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Add the rice, lentils and 2 cups of the stock or water. Place over low heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes.
Step 6: Add the chickpeas, parsley, green onion and most of the chopped mint. Simmer for 10 minutes more, then add the meatballs and simmer for another 10 minutes. Add the remaining stock if needed.
Step 7: In a small sauté pan, melt the butter. Add the garlic and sauté until soft but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add to the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Pour into a warmed soup bowl and sprinkle with the remaining mint and pomegranate seeds, if using.

Ugly Face Of Discrimination
Professor Deborah Rhode's book, The Beauty Bias: The Injustice of Appearance in Life and Law is mentioned in The Australian:
In an essay on the growing problem of appearance-based discrimination, Lindsay Beyerstein says at alternet.org that between 12 and 14 per cent of workers had suffered some sort of appearance-based discrimination and that people considered unattractive generally earn less than their better-looking counterparts. Reviewing The Beauty Bias The Injustice of Appearance in Law and Life, by Stanford law professor Deborah Rhode, Beyerstein says "Resumes get less consideration if the boss thinks they're coming from an unattractive person. Rhode notes that unattractive people are less likely to get hired and promoted and that they earn less on average, even in occupations where appearance has nothing to do with the job." Obesity is also a factor.
But there is a flipside . . . being too attractive. Beyerstein cites the case of US banker Debrahlee Lorenzana, who has instigated legal action "claiming that she was fired for distracting her male colleagues with excessive sexiness"

DURHAM, N.H. – Lindsey Conrad scored two goals and Amy Kee recorded two assists to lead the third-ranked Syracuse University field hockey team to Sunday afternoon's 5-2 non-conference victory against the University of New Hampshire at Memorial Field.
This was the season opener for UNH and SU improved to 2-0.
Meg Shea (Melrose, Mass.) and Hayley Rausch (Severna Park, Md.) scored for the Wildcats and goalkeeper Katherine Nagengast (Westborough, Mass.), in just her second career start, made a personal-best eight saves.
SU, which recorded the edge in both shots (24-12) and penalty corners (10-6), also received goals from Shelby Schraden, Kelsey Millman and Kristin Girouard; Millman was also credited with an assist. Ashleigh McGowan started the game in goal and earned the win with three saves and one goal allowed in 35 minutes. Leann Stiver played the second half and also turned aside three shots with one goal against.
UNH created a dangerous scoring opportunity off a penalty corner in the ninth minute when Kyle Lyons' (White River Junction, Vt.) shot from the top-left of the circle was turned aside by McGowan's right leg pad.
The Orange took at 1-0 lead moments later at 9:54. Millman carried the ball down the right wing and passed low to Schraden, who collected the ball and fired a low shot inside the far post.
Syracuse struck again at 16:02 on one of its five first-half penalty corners. Maggie Befort pushed the ball into play to the left wing, where Kee swung the ball across to Conrad and she blasted a low shot through traffic into the cage.
That prompted a UNH timeout, and the Wildcats responded minutes later with pressure resulting in Rausch's close-range shot from the right side that was blocked away by McGowan.
The visitors extended the advantage to 3-0 at 24:58 when Kee's long entry hit from 30 yards was redirected in the middle of the circle by Girouard high under the crossbar.
New Hampshire pulled within 3-1 at 29:42. Whitney Frates (Woodstock, Vt.) carried the ball along the goal line on the right side and pushed the ball to the middle of the circle, where Shea collected the pass and scored with a shot inside the left post.
SU threatened with another corner in the closing minutes, but Kee's shot off the stop at the top of the circle was blocked in front by a UNH defender, then Nagengast was in position to deny Millman, who had pushed the ball into play, from pointblank range.
The Wildcats also had a dangerous scoring opportunity before halftime. Frates approached midfield and sent a through ball behind the defense that Shea tracked down on the left wing. She angled in towards the goal but McGowan charged from the goalmouth to make the save and preserve SU's 3-1 lead heading into halftime.
The Orange was awarded a corner in the opening minutes of the second half, but Nagengast denied Martina Loncarica's shot from the top of the circle. Millman would not be denied, however, as her goal at 38:07 gave SU a 4-1 advantage. Heather Susek initiated the play with a pass from the middle of the circle to the lower left, where Millman shot the ball into the cage.
Loncarica received a yellow card at 44:14, and UNH capitalized to trim the deficit to 4-2 at 46:47. Following a foul by the Orange, Kate Collins Smyth (Parteen, County Claire/Ireland) made a short pass forward to Kara Connolly (Mohegan Lake, N.Y.), who quickly executed a return pass. Collins Smyth then hit an entry pass from 25 yards and Rausch, positioned in the middle of the circle, redirected the ball past Stiver.
Three minutes later, the 'Cats pressured again. Rausch was denied on a bid from the top-right corner of the circle, but a sustained attack led to Rausch's shot from the left post that rolled across the goalmouth and wide of the far post.
In the 57th minute, Nagengast thwarted Iona Holloway's high blast from the middle of the circle with her left blocker, then she denied Loncarica's bid through traffic from the top of the circle off a penalty corner.
Syracuse closed the scoring at 64:58. Loncarica's entry hit from 20 yards was corralled in the middle of the circle by Conrad, who took one step the to right and shot into an open cage.
New Hampshire returns to action
Sept. 4 (4 p.m.) at Brown University. The Wildcats' next home
game is Sept. 19 (1 p.m.) against the College of the Holy

Since the late 1990s, global warming has stabilized, even as greenhouse gases have risen. That defies simple models that say the temperature should keep going up. Many scientists think the so-called "hiatus" is taking place in part because much of the heat trapped in the atmosphere by greenhouse gases is being soaked up and stored by the oceans–at least for now. The Pacific is believed to play an especially powerful role, with winds in its eastern regions sweeping heat into its depths, like dirt getting swept under the rug. The problem is, scientists checking under the rug by measuring subsurface temperatures have not necessarily found the predicted increases in heat. This has come to be known as the riddle of the "missing heat." A team of oceanographers now says they know where it went: It has been exported from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean. Their study, out this week in the journal Nature Geoscience, finds that this movement may account for more than 70 percent of all heat absorbed by the entire upper world ocean in the past decade.

Tiny Iceland is a prime exemplar of the complexities wrought by warming climate. It is 11 percent covered by ice, but it is basically also one very large, very active volcanic system. The island has seen fast-increasing temperatures since the 1970s, and glaciers–a big source of tourism and runoff for hydropower–are visibly receding. This cuts various ways. Iceland gets almost all its electricity and heat from hydropower and geothermal wells. Increased glacial runoff means increased generation potential; on the other hand, in 50 or 100 years, Iceland may be mostly land and very little ice, and the runoff could dry up.

A new study says a record drought that ravaged Syria in 2006-2010 was likely stoked by ongoing manmade climate change, and that the drought may have helped propel the 2011 Syrian uprising. Researchers say the drought, the worst ever recorded in the region, destroyed agriculture in the breadbasket region of northern Syria, driving dispossessed farmers to cities, where poverty, government mismanagement and other factors created unrest that exploded in spring 2011. The conflict has since evolved into a complex multinational war that has killed at least 200,000 people and displaced millions. The study appears today in the leading journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
June 02, 2014Some 56 million years ago, a massive pulse of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere sent global temperatures soaring. In the oceans, carbonate sediments dissolved, some organisms went extinct and others evolved.
Scientists have long suspected that ocean acidification caused the crisis—similar to today, as manmade CO2 combines with seawater to change its chemistry. Now, for the first time, scientists have quantified the extent of surface acidification from those ancient days, and the news is not good: the oceans are on track to acidify at least as much as they did then, only at a much faster rate.

Increasing heat is expected to extend dry conditions to far more farmland and cities by the end of the century than changes in rainfall alone, says a new study. Much of the concern about future drought under global warming has focused on rainfall projections, but higher evaporation rates may also play an important role as warmer temperatures wring more moisture from the soil, even in some places where rainfall is forecasted to increase, say the researchers.

A recent slowdown in global warming has led some skeptics to renew their claims that industrial carbon emissions are not causing a century-long rise in Earth's surface temperatures. But rather than letting humans off the hook, a new study in the leading journal Science adds support to the idea that the oceans are taking up some of the excess heat, at least for the moment. In a reconstruction of Pacific Ocean temperatures in the last 10,000 years, researchers have found that its middle depths have warmed 15 times faster in the last 60 years than they did during apparent natural warming cycles in the previous 10,000.

The global treaty that headed off destruction of earth's protective ozone layer has also prevented major disruption of global rainfall patterns, even though that was not a motivation for the treaty, according to a new study in the Journal of Climate.
April 22, 2013Fueled by industrial greenhouse gas emissions, Earth's climate warmed more between 1971 and 2000 than during any other three-decade interval in the last 1,400 years, according new regional temperature reconstructions covering all seven continents. This period of manmade global warming, which continues today, reversed a natural cooling trend that lasted several hundred years, according to results published in the journal Nature Geoscience by more than 80 scientists from 24 nations analyzing climate data from tree rings, pollen, cave formations, ice cores, lake and ocean sediments, and historical records from around the world.

Some 40 million people depend on the Colorado River Basin for water but warmer weather from rising greenhouse gas levels and a growing population may signal water shortages ahead. In a new study in Nature Climate Change, climate modelers at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory predict a 10 percent drop in the Colorado River's flow in the next few decades, enough to disrupt longtime water-sharing agreements between farms and cities across the American Southwest.

Summers on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard are now warmer than at any other time in the last 1,800 years, including during medieval times when parts of the northern hemisphere were as hot as, or hotter, than today, according to a new study in the journal Geology.

For the first time, scientists have identified tropical and subtropical species of marine protozoa living in the Arctic Ocean. Apparently, they traveled thousands of miles on Atlantic currents and ended up above Norway with an unusual—but naturally cyclic—pulse of warm water, not as a direct result of overall warming climate, say the researchers. On the other hand: arctic waters are warming rapidly, and such pulses are predicted to grow as global climate change causes shifts in long-distance currents. Thus, colleagues wonder if the exotic creatures offers a preview of climate-induced changes already overtaking the oceans and land, causing redistributions of species and shifts in ecology. The study, by a team from the United States, Norway and Russia, was just published in the British Journal of Micropalaeontology.

During the last ice age, glaciers dominated New Zealand's Southern Alps until warming temperatures some 20,000 years ago sent them into retreat. Scientists at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, with their colleagues, are investigating the rocky remnants these glaciers left behind to learn precisely when the ice withdrew, and what glacier retreats globally can tell us about the climate system. A new video produced by the American Museum of Natural History describes the process of surface exposure dating used to extract this information from glacial moraines.

Much of the modern understanding of climate change is underpinned by pioneering studies done at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. Starting in the 1950s and continuing today, researchers at sea, on land and in the lab have worked in disciplines including oceanography, atmospheric physics, magnetism, geochemistry, glacial geology, paleontology, tree-ring studies and more.

In an effort to understand how plants around the world will act in a warming climate, researchers have relied increasingly on experiments that measure how they respond to artificial warming. But a new study says that such experiments are underestimating potential advances in the timing of flowering and leafing four to eightfold, when compared with natural observations. As a result, species could change far more quickly than the experiments suggest, with major implications for water supplies, pollination of crops and ecosystems. The comparison, done by an interdisciplinary team from some 20 institutions in North America and Europe, appears this week in the leading journal Nature.

City streets can be mean, but somewhere near Brooklyn, a tree grows far better than its country cousins, due to chronically elevated city heat levels, says a new study. The study, just published in the journal Tree Physiology, shows that common native red oak seedlings grow as much as eight times faster in New York's Central Park than in more rural, cooler settings in the Hudson Valley and Catskill Mountains. Red oaks and their close relatives dominate areas ranging from northern Virginia to southern New England, so the study may have wide implications for changing climate and forest composition over a wide region.

The world's oceans may be turning acidic faster today from human carbon emissions than they did during four major extinctions in the last 300 million years, when natural pulses of carbon sent global temperatures soaring, says a new study in Science. The study is the first of its kind to survey the geologic record for evidence of ocean acidification over this vast time period.

Climate scientists at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science this week were elated to hear that the United States and five other countries had agreed to work toward cutting pollutants other than carbon dioxide thought to cause about a third of current human-influenced global warming. After all, many of them had done the work that led directly to the pact, by showing the effects of such substances, and how emissions might be reduced.

In many ways, the tiny, landlocked eastern Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan sits apart from the modern world; its rugged landscapes cradle swift-flowing rivers, expansive old-growth forests and hundreds of glaciers. Combining selective modernization with ancient traditions, it is the only country that uses Gross National Happiness as a metric for success. But the world is intruding. Rapid climate change is melting glaciers across the Himalayas, creating deadly flash-flood hazards and threatening a water system that feeds agriculture and hydropower here and for more than a billion people in the plains below.

A team led by Kevin Anchukaitis of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory Tree Ring Lab is currently in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, studying the effects of changing climate on trees. Ferried in by a bush pilot who landed on the tundra to drop them off, they are practically at treeline–the place where it is too far north for trees to grow. But there are still some spindly white spruces here, and they are taking cores from these, which can be used to measure weather of the past.

As the last ice age was ending, about 13,000 years ago, a final blast of cold hit Europe, and for a thousand years or more, it felt like the ice age had returned. But oddly, despite bitter cold winters in the north, Antarctica was heating up. For the two decades since ice core records revealed that Europe was cooling at the same time Antarctica was warming over this thousand-year period, scientists have looked for an explanation.

Ocean Drilling Expedition off Antarctica May Predict Ice Sheet's Response to Warmer Global TemperaturesMay 04, 2010
New results from a drilling expedition off Antarctica may help scientists learn more about a dramatic turn in climate 34 million years ago, when the planet cooled from a "greenhouse" to an "icehouse" state. In just 400,000 years – a blink of an eye in geologic time – carbon dioxide levels dropped, temperatures plunged and ice sheets formed over what was then the lush continent of Antarctica.

For years, researchers have examined climate records indicating that millennial-scale climate cycles have linked the high latitudes of the Northern hemisphere and the subtropics of the North Pacific Ocean. What forces this linkage, however, has been a topic of considerable debate. Did the connection originate in the North Pacific with the sinking of oxygen-rich waters into the interior of the ocean during cool climate intervals, or did it originate in the subtropical Pacific with the transfer of heat between the ocean and the atmosphere?

Two centuries since the start of the Industrial Revolution, the human population has increased six-fold, and economic activity an estimated fifty-fold. The sheer number of people on the planet and the intensity of economic activity are having profound effects on the long-term global climate, threatening to disrupt vast biological, geochemical, and social systems in future decades. This is fact.

Prague - The Czech economy in the second quarter of this year stagnated against the first quarter, as expected the Czech Statistical Office CSU) said today.
In year-on-year terms, Czech gross domestic product (GDP) rose by 2.7 percent, in comparison with the original estimate of 2.6 percent released by the CSU in mid-August.
"The overall performance of the economy of the CR remained unchanged in the Q2 2014, quarter-on-quarter. Final consumption expenditure remained unchanged as well," the CSU said.
Expenditure on capital formation increased by 2.3 percent.
Imports increased by 0.3 percent quarter-on-quarter, while exports dropped by 0.4 percent.
Foreign trade in Q2, compared with Q1, stopped being the main factor of the GDP formation, the CSU said.
Year-on-year, imports grew by 11.3 percent and exports by 8.9 percent.
Czech economic development in Q2 lower than expected by CNB
Czech economic development in Q2 was 0.1 percentage point lower yr/yr and 0.2 percentage points lower qtr/qtr compared to the central bank´s (CNB) estimate, Petr Vojtisek, a deputy head of the CNB´s monetary and statistics section, said today.
Statisticians said in a revised estimate today, just like in the first estimate, that the country´s economy stagnated in the second quarter compared to Q1.
In annual terms, the revised estimate improved a gross domestic product (GDP) growth from 2.6 to 2.7 percent.
The downside deviation from the CNB´s forecast of annual GDP expansion in Q2 reflected some opposing effects, said Vojtisek.
The CNB´s prediction of a markedly higher growth in investments has been fulfilled even though gross fixed capital formation was rising at a slower pace than predicted.
The higher-than-expected formation of inventories, however, almost fully offset the deviation. A contribution of the government consumption was lower than expected while household consumption was slightly higher compared to the CNB´s estimate, said Vojtisek.
"All in all, the CNB´s estimate that second-quarter annual GDP growth will be mildly lower compared to Q1 and will be driven by domestic demand items has been fulfilled," Vojtisek said.
The new data confirm that a reviving rise of household consumption and fixed capital seen at the end of last year is of a longer-term nature and is related to a positive change in expectations of domestic economic entities, Vojtisek said.
Recovering foreign demand and easing of the central bank´s monetary policy through the crown´s depreciation have contributed to the change, he added.
In the most recent forecast, the CNB said he expects a nearly 3 percent GDP expansion this year.
"Similar growth rates will be recorded in the next two years as well," said Vojtisek.

When the Quai Branly Museum in Paris opened last June, it was greeted with both acclaim and outrage. For the New York Times, it was nothing less than "an act of dissent that forces us to feel the world again." Not since Herbert Muschamp called the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao "a shimmering, Looney tunes, post-industrial, post-everything burst of American optimism wrapped in titanium" has the Times been so effusive in its praise. For others, however, the Quai Branly was offensively patronizing, presenting its ethnographic collection as a kind of fictitious Dark Continent hidden within a "mock jungle." Recently I was able to inspect it for myself.
The Quai Branly originated in 1995, when it was decided to consolidate several anthropological and ethnographic collections in Paris, including that of the recently-defunct Museum of African and Oceanic Arts. These collections had become controversial and were perceived as the spoils and trophies of colonialism. The project was given to the architect Jean Nouvel and endorsed by President Jacques Chirac, who, like so many French rulers, sought to leave his mark on Paris.
Recognizing the non-Western origin of its collections, Nouvel set about designing a non-Western building. He quickly seized on the idea of the building as "a simple façade-less shelter in the middle of a wood:"
In a place inhabited by symbols of forests and rivers, by obsessions of death and oblivion, it is an asylum for censored and cast off works from Australia and the Americas. It is a loaded place haunted with dialogues between the ancestral spirits of men, who, in discovering their human condition, invented gods and beliefs. It is a place that is unique and strange, poetic and unsettling.
His museum is indeed unsettling. What strikes the viewer is its peculiar formlessness, which refuses to present a comprehensible shape or object to the eye. No facade and no surface are similar, and there is no place where one might stand and grasp it as totality. Borne aloft on a series of randomly-placed piers (which could be taken "for trees or totems," Nouvel tells us), it forms a kind of wobbly trough, as if the spiral of Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim had been laboriously uncoiled and pinned to a giant board. The experience inside is equally bewildering, free of all right angles and offering sumptuous free-form contours, clad in brown leather and squirming off into the dimly lit distance.
In the end, the problem with Nouvel's building is not its anti-form ideology, which is hardly revolutionary at this late date (after all, the Pompidou Centre was built over thirty years ago). It is that he sought to make a non-Western museum for non-Western objects without fully recognizing that there is not one non-Western art, but many. (All that they have in common is the prefix non-.) And to be sure, he has made an ostentatious show of negation (no parallel lines, no palpable shapes, no uniform materials) without offering an affirmation of any sort.
This formal incoherence is of a piece with its museology. The great museum displays of the past were indeed condescending in their neat divisions between civilized and barbaric peoples, which produced, respectively, objects of aesthetic or of merely ethnographic interest. But they did produce systems of order, categorizing objects by their workmanship or function. The Quai Branly offers no such comprehensive taxonomy. Objects are sprinkled in loose clusters, with minimal explanatory material. The display is exquisite in the soft lighting and the aesthetic isolation of each object (no cumbersome taxonomy of axe-heads here), but instead of treating the object as an anthropological artifact it is now treated as a showpiece in a Tiffany's window. It is not clear which is the more condescending.

The Vampire Diaries
How Were the Ratings For The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 20: "The Originals"?
The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 20, "The Originals" served as a backdoor pilot for a potential spin-off centered around the Original family of vampires. Klaus (Joseph Morgan) went to New Orleans to investigate a threat against him, while his siblings Elijah (Daniel Gillies) and Rebekah (Claire Holt) decided whether to side with their brother or not. So how many people tuned in to watch vamps in the French Quarter?
According to Entertainment Weekly, The Vampire Diaries ratings were down 31 percent from an average TVD episode: It had 2.2 million viewers last night, though the numbers may be adjusted later and that's without DVR tallies included.
However, that number is up slightly from the previous week's episode, which had 2.1 million viewers. Because this was the pilot for the series, The CW executives will likely factor the viewership in when considering whether to pick up the show for fall.
According to EW, the less-than-stellar ratings don't necessarily spell doom for The Originals. It's a show with a built-in audience of TVD fans, and "What fans say online about The Originals pilot (and how the network's executive team feels about the project creatively) might have just as much impact on the series-order decision as how many viewers initially showed up. In other words: Semi-lousy ratings or not, a series pickup remains likely."
That's great news for everyone who's dying to find out what happens with Klaus, Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin), and their little unexpected visitor. The CW will announce The Originals' fate at the Upfronts on May 15 — if not sooner.

For years we've been conditioned to believe in and look for a God on the outside of us as an external power that oversees everything from the orchestration of the universe to the very minute details of our daily lives.
However my dear friend, the God that you are looking for is closer than you realize. We've all been looking for God in all the wrong places.
The Christ says we are to seek the kingdom of God first. Where else would God dwell except within his own kingdom?
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." - Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
That statement is absolutely paramount to understand and apply if we are to be transformed.
The Christ also tells us where this kingdom is:
"Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." - Luke 17:21 (KJV)
So what do we have? The Christ is saying seek first the kingdom of God which is within you. Notice that it is the absolute first thing he says we should do.
But what does religion and tradition tell us? Seek your church, seek your pastor, read your bible, sing the songs, give your money...do everything else but seek within yourself.
Look at what the Christ says regarding those who discourage us from seeking within ourselves the kingdom of God:
"Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered." - Luke 11:52 (KJV)
Seeking and entering within ourselves is meditation. That is the key. It is through meditation that we are able to raise our consciousness level and rise above the things of the lower consciousness that hurt us.
Hope this helps.

STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Kristi Bellock scored 18 points on 9-of-10 shooting to lead No. 16 Texas A&M to an 81-33 victory over Mississippi State Thursday night.
Texas A&M (15-5, 5-1 Southeastern Conference) shot 60 percent (29 of 48), well above its season 46.6-percent average.
Mississippi State (8-11, 0-6) couldn't muster much offense for coach Vic Schaefer, a former Texas A&M assistant, in his first game against his old squad. The Bulldogs were 12-of-45 shooting and bested the worst offensive performances in program history by a single point - Mississippi State scored 32 points against Manhattan in 1985 and Auburn in 1986.
Texas A&M opened the game on an 11-4 run and led 39-19 at halftime. They immediately extended that lead to 54-19 to open the second half.
Adrienne Pratcher added 15 points for the Aggies and Kelsey Bone chipped in 13 points.
Martha Alwal led Mississippi State with 12 points and 10 rebounds.

Political science and economics major Miguel Alex Centeno '11 says the idea to run for California Democratic Party assembly delegate came completely by chance. "I had worked on a couple local elections and got to know quite a few people who were politically active in the community, one of whom thought I would be a good candidate," he says. As it turns out, voters did, too. Centeno recently became the youngest delegate elected to the 51st district, along with city council members of Lawndale, Hawthorne and Gardena, commissioners of public works boards, and other veteran community activists.
Assembly district delegates are unique in that they comprise groups of 12 representatives – six men and six women – for each assembly district in California. They make up a larger state delegation that is responsible for voting on party resolutions, endorsements and on the party platform.
"For me, this was an opportunity to voice some of the concerns I had about the state's deteriorating education system and economic policy. As a young father of two, I have a vested interest in how the state addresses these issues," Centeno says. "I wanted to stop complaining and take action — that is what my education here at LMU has taught me to do. Getting elected to a party office, I thought, was a good start."
Although he is still a student, Centeno has already acquired a great deal of knowledge and experience to take with him to the assembly. For more than a year he has worked for LMU's Communications and Government Relations department, where he has been actively involved in outreach efforts with local and state issues. Last year, he traveled to Sacramento to testify in support of continued funding of the Cal Grant program at the Joint Legislative Hearing on the Master Plan for Higher Education. He has also served as an intern with the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles as well as Los Angeles City Hall.
As a delegate, Centeno says he has the privilege of working alongside seasoned politicians to make sure the concerns of his community are voiced, mobilized and addressed – an opportunity for which he feels honored, humbled and excited.
"Today, I realize, there is too much at stake and too little done. That is where I plan to be different," he says. "Here at LMU, I've always been challenged to fight for what is just, and for me, that fight continues as an assembly delegate."

NVIDIA prepping dual-GPU GF104 card
The Nvidia GTX 465 graphics card will feature 352 CUDA cores with a core clock of 607 MHz, a shader clock of 1215 MHz, and a memory clock of 1603 MHz. It will come with 1 GB of memory on a 256-bit memory interface. The estimated cost for the GeForce GTX 465 is $249. The chip used in this graphics card is called the GF104 internally by Nvidia.
Guru3d is reporting rumors that it is canceling its dual-GPU GF100 graphics card due to heat concerns. Instead the same GPU that is in the Nvidia GTX 465 graphics card will be used instead.
Rumors have surfaced that NVIDIA has cancelled its dual-GPU GF100 graphics card, instead the company will release a dual-GPU card based on the GF104. The card that some roadmaps new as D12U-50 is internally canceled due to its too high TDP. A Chinese roadmap claims that such a card should end up with whopping 375W TDP.via : NVIDIA prepping dual-GPU GF104 card

Today was historic. We met the French sailing vessel, Tara, and helped it motor north alongside an ice floe. Tara will spend the next two years frozen in the ice while her crew conducts scientific research. After hearing about the high-tech research that is currently being done in the Arctic, Tara and her crew might seem to be going back to the early days of polar exploration. But Tara is a unique combination of advanced 21st century technology and adventurous 19th century spirit. Before discussing Tara, let's first set the stage by looking at the history of polar exploration and one of its most notable ships, the Fram.
For centuries, people have yearned to explore the frozen sea. Early explorers were undoubtedly looking for many of the things that drive people to endure the hardships of the far north today — resources, shipping routes and the desire to see what lies beyond the horizon. Early explorers faced the same formidable obstacles that modern-day explorers face — total darkness in the winter, frigid temperatures, high winds and treacherous sea ice — but those early explorers battled the elements without modern equipment. Early attempts at sailing to the North Pole often met with failure or worse.
In 1879, an American ship, the Jeannette, traveled through the Bering Strait in an attempt to reach the North Pole. The ship became trapped in the pack ice and drifted slowly west, where, in June of 1881, she was crushed by the ice and sank. Less than half of the Jeannette's crew survived the trek across hundreds of miles of ice required to reach land. (To learn more about the Jeannette's voyage, visit the Naval Historical Center.)
Curiously, the Jeannette's demise provided valuable scientific information. Three years after being crushed by the ice, debris from the ship was found along the southern Greenland coast, 2,900 nautical miles from where she sank. This provided direct evidence of the speed and direction of sea ice drift and gave Fridtjof Nansen, a young Norwegian explorer, an idea for reaching the North Pole.
Nansen's plan involved trapping his ship in ice and allowing it to drift with the ice. He believed the direction of drift would take his ship to the North Pole. Nansen commissioned a specially designed polar ship with a three-layered, metal-reinforced wooden hull that could withstand the crushing pressures of moving ice. To make sure the ship would be pushed above the ice instead of being crushed by it, the ship's hull had a rounded bottom. The ship was named Fram, which is Norwegian for "forward."
Nansen departed Bergen, Norway in the Fram in 1893. The Fram headed eastward and then turned north into the ice pack. She became trapped in the ice not far from where we are with Tara today (79° 50.88' N, 143° 34.48' E). For three years, the ship was carried by the ice across the Arctic, but never reached Nansen's goal of the North Pole.
Realizing that the drift would not carry the Fram far enough north, Nansen and Fredrik Hjalmar Johansen set out in March of 1895 to reach the Pole on skis. Lines of ice ridges blocked their progress northward, and, after reaching only a little beyond 86° N, they were forced to turn back when they began to run low on supplies.
Unable to locate the Fram, they trudged for almost 400 miles until reaching Franz Josef Land (we will pass near there later in this trip). Nansen and Johansen survived the winter season living in a stone hut, killing bears and walrus for food and clothing, and burning blubber for fuel.
In the spring of 1896, Nansen and Johansen headed south and encountered a British exploratory party who transported them back to a port in Norway. Ironically, the Fram returned to the same port that same week, after finally being freed from the drifting pack ice. (Visit the Fram Museum to learn more about the Fram and her amazing history.)
The voyage of the Fram provided oceanographers with a great deal of information about the central Arctic Ocean; and the endurance and heroism of her crew inspired many of the polar explorers that followed.
Tara is similar in length (~100 ft) to Fram, but narrower and lighter (aluminum hull instead of wood). Just as the Fram's voyage over 100 years ago brought a new understanding about the Arctic, Tara's mission will shed a great deal of light on the oceanography of this region. Her crew will surely have stories of endurance and heroism to tell as they drift across the Arctic Ocean with their ship. (Visit www.taraexpeditions.org to learn about Tara's mission and crew and to read daily logs throughout the mission.)

River City Casino Reveals Restaurant Plans
Categories: Restaurant News & Reviews
|Image via
This is another property from Pinnacle Entertainment, whose Lumière Place is home to Hubert Keller's Sleek and Burger Bar (among other eateries), so I perused the list with interest.
Dig out your tacky souvenirs from the 2004 centennial celebration of the St. Louis World's Fair and follow me back in time after the jump...
Because this is a casino, there is a buffet. It's called The Great Food Exposition, which I think is actually a pretty awesome name, and it will feature (quoting the press release here) "Italian, American, Asian and seafood favorites."
The 1904 Beerhouse will boast 32 beers on draft and 100 by bottle. The menu is "an eclectic selection of contemporary bar treats," including "Kobe beef slides, Pot Roast poppers [sic!] and crab fritters."
No, really, pot roast poppers.
Previously announced is Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse, an upscale restaurant out of Cincinnati. Besides the obvious (steaks), there will be seafood, including a sushi and raw bar.
Burger Brothers will serve, yes, burgers, while Lewy Nine's Café is a classic faux diner -- or faux classic diner. Also, it will feature a few "favorites" from the 1904 World's Fair.

text: Albuquerque Journal–Editorial– Open wide. Let's see those pearlies! More New Mexico low-income kids receive dental care — despite a shortage of dentists — than the national average. That's right. Here's something New Mexico excels at — and the Pew Center awarded us an A. But we could have been at the bottom of the 50 states, where we languish all too often in national rankings, if the state had not made it a priority to see that needy kids have access to an array of health services. In 2007, 48 percent of New Mexico Medicaid-enrolled youths received dental services, compared to 38 percent nationwide. Medicaid covers about 322,000 New Mexico youths 18 and under. State Health Secretary Alfredo Vigil gave a lot of the credit to the state's system of nonprofit federally funded community health centers, which operate 40 dental clinics. The Pew report also gave props to New Mexico because 77 percent of residents live in communities with fluoridated water (nationally it's 75 percent), dentists who treat Medicaid patients are reimbursed at a rate slightly better than the national average, and New Mexico is one of 35 states that pay for preventive dental care for Medicaid patients. And that makes for a lot of happy smiles!

Film star Cage sells castle
Posted: October 15, 2009|
Actor Nicolas Cage is selling his £5 million home on the edge of Bath.
The film star who will be switching on the city's Christmas lights next month is putting 18th century Midford Castle on the market - hard on the heels of his decision to sell his home in The Circus.
It had been said that the Oscar-winning actor had sold his city centre home to concentrate on renovation work at the stone castle.
Cage had bought both properties two years ago.
A spokesman for the 45-year-old, who will tomorrow join in activities for a fundraising day at the Royal United Hospital, also has a home at Baltonsborough near Glastonbury.
He said: "He will still be staying in the Bath area and he will still be turning on the Christmas lights.
"You will still see him in the Bath area on a regular basis.
"We are looking at having one property to cover all his needs in the Bath area."
Midford Castle is a grade one listed building which has seven bedrooms and comes with two cottages, a ruined chapel and 58 acres of land.
It was bought by Michael and Isabel Briggs in 1961 for just £15,000 and they began a 45-year labour of love to restore everything to its former glory, while modernising the interior.
The castle was built on the whim of card player and raconteur Henry Disney Roebuck, who wanted to live in a castle but could not find one he liked.
Roebuck had made his fortunes gambling and winning at the card tables of wealthy London society in the 1770s.
The castle has an unusual three-sided design, and local legend has it that he designed it so the footprint matched the ace of clubs – a card with which he had the most luck.
But that legend is disputed. Post-war architecture expert Christopher Hussey discounted the theory in 1944, suggesting that Roebuck was "a wealthy romantic who chose the plan and design of the building chiefly for aesthetic reasons."
He also pointed out that the 'stem' of the ace of clubs is a porch added by later owners in the early 19th century.
Cage will be at the RUH for a Ted's Big Day Out event from 12.30 tomorrow and will switch on the Christmas lights on November 26.

Student still atop women's amateur
DANIELS, W.Va. -- Sydney Snodgrass slipped to a 4-over-par 76 on Wednesday, but retained a share of the lead after two rounds of the 90th West Virginia Women's Amateur Golf Championship.
Snodgrass, a Ritchie County High School senior, held a two-stroke advantage entering the round and was caught by Nicolle Flood-Sawczyszyn of Morgantown, a three-time state champion, who shot 73.
Snodgrass and Sawczyszyn are tied at 4-over 148 entering the final round Thursday. They're in the last pairing for Thursday's final round that goes off at 9:40 a.m.
Kimberly Eaton from Shepherdstown, W.Va., is third, just two strokes from the lead at 150 after firing a second consecutive 75.
Adeena Shears of Elizabeth, W.Va., and Lauryn Davidson of Vienna, W.Va., are in at 153 and Natalie Cooke from Vienna, W.Va., is at 154.
Brooke Bellomy from Ona, the defending champion, and Caroline Ramsey of Bridgeport, W.Va., are locked at 156. Ramsey was the West Virginia Women's Senior Amateur runner-up in June.
Bellomy's round of 81 included consecutive double-bogeys on No. 11 (266 yards, par-4) and No. 12 (115 yards, par-3. The Campbell University golfer made her only birdie of the day on the 395-yard, par-5 seventh hole.

Chris Harrison's Bachelor Pad 3 Blog: I'm Impressed with Jaclyn for Sticking Up for Herself With Ed
Did the spelling bee feel long to you? It seems like it went on forever, but Rosemaster Chris Harrison says there's a lot we didn't get to see. In his Entertainment Weekly blog on Bachelor Pad Season 3, Episode 6, Chris dishes on the bee, the unhappy marriage of Nick Peterson to The Widow Rachel Truehart, the unexpected love between Kalon McMahon and Lindzi Cox, and whatever we're calling the relationship between Jaclyn Swartz and Ed Swiderski.
Here are highlights from The Rosemaser's full blog:
Kindzi "bee" suckin' at spelling: "I was a bit disappointed you didn't get to see and hear the best part of the spelling bee, the three judges. Our producers had very cleverly come up with amazingly entertaining definitions and sentences for each of the words. The kids read these to the contestants before they spelled each word, but that was edited out due to time constraints. So in the end you never really got to hear much from the kids from Hogwarts. I have to say I was pretty shocked at how the spelling bee played out. I thought Kalon and Lindzi would be really good, but in fact they sucked. It came down to the final two teams, and that sudden death spell-off actually took a while. I thought at one point we were going to run out of Bachelor words. But in the end, surprisingly, Chris and Sarah won the competition. As soon as they won, you could've heard a pin drop in that auditorium. The only thing you could hear, actually, was Blakeley starting to cry, as she desperately wanted Chris out of the house."
Chris is proud of Jaclyn for speaking her mind: "Ed and Jaclyn also got a date this week for finishing second in the competition. This was perfect, as we got to hear Ed explain to Jaclyn that it's been a real blast sleeping with you but, 'I'm kinda, maybe into somebody else back home.' He went on to explain that this is Bachelor Pad and we should continue to sleep together and have fun in this manner, and I would appreciate at the end of this if you could just forget it all and we could go our separate ways. For some reason Jaclyn, being a human being, didn't exactly love this. I have to say I was pretty impressed with how she stuck up for herself and spoke her mind."
Nick almost crashed and burned: "Rachel, who is now partners with Nick, really had to rebound and show people they were a team that could be trusted. Much to Rachel's horror, Nick went off the rails a bit and almost sunk their chances of survival. Rachel later explained to Nick that this is why we don't ever let him talk on Bachelor Pad. (Okay, I'm pretty sure she didn't, but in my mind that's what happened.) Despite Nick's best effort to self-destruct, the group voted out lovebirds Kalon and Lindzi."
Kalon and Lindzi had no alliance except with each other: "Their exit really said it all. Somehow these two polar opposites have come together and they found love. I personally think it's great. Oddly enough, they really seem to bring out the best in each other and I wish the two of them well and look forward to getting an update on their relationship at the finale. As far as the game goes, Kalon and Lindzi played it pretty smart, just floating along and not really joining any particular alliance. But in the end that lack of loyalty cost them."
Yeah, if you want to win, you eventually have to pick a side. It may not be the side with the nicest people but preferably it's the side with the most power. Then again, Team Kindzi's two-person alliance seems to be working out pretty well in real life. Love them!

this is something strange going on in nyc restaurents. I have been going here for a year or more. last time I went I ordered and asked for water. they brought me a poland spring bottled water. I said no I meant nyc water and they said they do not serve water to their customers! the food here is really good and the service as well, but what is this trend of not serving water? Is there a shortage we are not aware of?
Posted by Edi on 08/07/2012
The food is good. But the manager was loud with employees, that's not good next to costumers?
Posted by Tommy on 04/19/2011
The baklava is amazing, especially the walnut baklava. Light, airy, not too sweet. Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, delicious.
Posted by Bon Appetit 787 on 04/18/2011
From the outside this place looks a glorified diner that sells good looking baklava. But go in and grab breakfast-- turkish omelet was amazing as well as some of the other sandwiches. I did not care for the baklava but that is not my go to dessert -- I would defer to the other reviewers -- but the almond cookies were awesome
Posted by NaplesTR on 07/09/2010
This is the best for Turkish pastry and deserts. They also serve breakfast. We took baklava , ayvalik toast and spanich gozleme, they all were perfect. I can say nothing bad except the service is a little slow when it is crowded. Definetly a place to go again.
Posted by Alexis on 05/14/2010
What spoils this place is the service. I waited over 20 minutes for water and I noticed that a lot of people were complaining.
Posted by Happy Diners on 05/06/2010
My absolute favourite breakfast in the city is Cilbir (ie, savoury yoghurt w/ paprika, garlic, hot butter with poached eggs) from Gulluoglu! But you have to love yoghurt to love this dish. I love love love their Special Baklava (sells really quickly), Böregi, assorted cookies and Sour Cherry cake. I've tried their burger once at lunch and wasn't too impressed. Probably because i'm thinking of Shake Shack when it comes to burgers. Turkish coffee/tea aren't to my taste, either. The service takes a bit of time :)
