With that amount of diesel..
they could run a garage, would solve the problem of the diesel going off
In a world where data centre duties are increasingly relocated to lower cost territories in the East and beyond, why would anyone want to set up shop in the heart of London? Even if there was a requirement for your data to be UK-based, surely a location in the shires where rents are lower would make sense. City Lifeline …
they could run a garage, would solve the problem of the diesel going off
Given that it'll be red diesel, I think HMRC would have a bit of an issue with it. Not that annoying the revenue isn't fun, but you want to do it in a way that doesn't get you nicked!
All that security doesn't make a lick of difference when the NSA has it's own personal fibre-optic connection to every rack in the building.
I used to visit server sites frequently to do software installations. Nowadays it's all done by remote desktop. Nice to see how things are done.
I'd highly recommend you get a tour of the SSE data center in Segensworth, the measures they have taken for resilient power is running in the realms of crazy.
Nice ad for City Lifeline - but it's not exactly the most interesting dc operator to cover.
There are operators innovating in DC design - which actually constitutes news.....
Agreed - it seems like a pretty traditional (older generation) DC rather than the newer stuff people are building now - what's it PUE for example?
City datacentres are for the city boys with their financial data, or those who are too rich to care. Everyone else is either in docklands or in a real cheap DC on the outskirts of town, Park Royal, Slough, Gatwick - that sort of area.
PS: Looking at munin in the iphone browser is not an iphone app.
Pretty sure that was a data centre previously as I helped liquidate the old firm in there a bit over 10 years ago. They ran huge amount of Compaq gear back then.
I think it was called 'Crisscross communications' and they sold access all across Europe.
As the prievious infrastructure would already be in place it would explain why it is based there and not out at Docklands or some other low rent area.
Reminds me of all the hours I spent installing kit in cramped racks with little support from the rest of the company. Real muscle stuff. Good times though.
The MTU diesel engine hails from Friedrichshafen, and was built in the old Zeppelin motor factory.
One of those VIIC diesels, I suppose?
Interesting article, always wondered how these things work!
"TDM has largely gone now, and most voice telephony is carried as TCP/IP packets on VoIP (voice over internet protocol)....
<cough, splutter>....excuse me?
Where do we begin pointing out the errors in that comment?
Well, the SIP signalling can be TCP but yeah the RTP is UDP all the way.
much fisheye!

John F. Savarese is a partner in the Litigation Department of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. This post is based on a Wachtell Lipton memorandum.
One way in which we expect the white-collar/regulatory enforcement regime in 2016 to continue last year's pattern is that the government's appetite for extracting enormous fines and penalties from settling companies will likely continue unabated. However, as we discuss below, the manner in which well-advised companies facing criminal or serious regulatory investigations will seek to mitigate such fines and sanctions will likely change in some important respects in 2016. The reason for this expected change is that U.S. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates announced late in 2015 that DOJ was formalizing a requirement that, in order to get "any" cooperation credit, companies must come forward with all available evidence identifying individuals responsible for the underlying misconduct subject to investigation.

Reader Jeff Glasgow wrote me an email (see it in the extended text below), after reading my recent article in the Baltimore Sun about Iran Divestment. He is concerned that pensions could lose value when states divest.
I am convinced that states can simultaneously hurt Iran through divestment and invest wisely for state pensioners. Yes, there are strong companies on the SEC list of Iran-friendly companies. The list includes HSBC and Nokia, for example, which are both poised for growth. But, plenty of other strong investments can add value to a portfolio without funding terror. Terror-free mutual funds have been getting incredible returns. In short, pensioners don't have to put their futures in jeopardy to punish Iran.
Mr. Glasgow, thank you for your question. If you're still not satisfied, I would be happy to engage in further discussion.
Mr. Schanzer,
Do you propose, then, to raise taxes to repay the losses suffered by the people who depend for their living on their pension funds? Or doesn't it matter to you that you are making your point with other people's money? Josh Mandel is trying to take my pension money. Mr. Obama and you apparently have bigger fish to fry. I really am interested in your answer to the question: How do Mr. Mandel, Mr. Obama, and you justify releasing pension funds from their absolute duty to protect retirees' money? Why not the same legislation for banks, savings & loans and insurance companies? Please give me your best considered answer. I have seen a number of them, in Ohio House testimony, in Josh Mandel papers, Michael Barone articles and Obama press releases. They are all the same rationalization. Try to give me a different one if you can.

Does your dog hide toys or bones around the house?
I know that this is normal behavior for dogs but Basil's never done this before. But yesterday we gave him a new chewy bone and he keeps pushing into corners, under furniture, etc. And then he rubs his muzzle on the floor to push "dirt" on top of it. I know this is something that a lot of dogs do instinctively but he's never done it before so I find it hilarious.

Edit Article
Of all Lolita styles Punk Lolita is the toughest one of all, and one of the hardest to pull off for inexperienced Lolitas. Drawing inspiration from the Western Punk, this Lolita style offers you slightly more freedom than your regular styles. From bell-shaped skirts to studs, to stompy boots to lace, Punk Lolita is a great style for those Lolitas who simply LOVE their rebel side. These steps will hopefully help you get on your way to dress like a cute, yet tough, Punk Lolita.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Be yourself. That's an important part of being a Lolita, no matter your style. If you try to act hard, rude, serious or other when in truth you're a kind, natured girl who happens to like chunky boots and tartan skirts with her bows and frills then you're going to come off as fake and boring. There's no definite way to act with any Lolita style. Always remember to be yourself.
2The fabric. Punk Lolita takes a lot of inspiration from Punk, so the fabric will be a bit easier than many other styles: deconstructed fabrics, tartan, fishnets. But remember that everything with moderation. Just because it's Lolita doesn't always mean that you have to use frills, bows and laces, but many Punk Lolita skirts look cute with a bit of lace on the hem. Go with what you like, but stay within the style.
3The tops. You can use your frilly blouses, but puffy sleeved blouses with something screen-printed or blouses with pointy collars and tails are fine too. Even though many pictures will look cool with them, arm warmers are a total no-no. Why? Because they aren't Lolita, and even if this style gathers a lot of inspiration from Punk, it's NOT Punk, it's Punk LOLITA. Hoodies are good too, just remember: Punk Lolita is like the girly, cutesy cousin of the Western Punk, so anything you were has to have that feel.
4The shape and bottoms. This style is a bit hard to achieve. Layering is a very important part of Punk Lolita, but so is shape. Skirts mostly retain their bell shape, you use petticoats underneath but may cut the skirt a bit shorter: two fingers over the knee at the most. Pants aren't really used, unless you're going for a more Kodona look (like Kana), but, honestly, those pants they sell that are kept together with a buckle... nope, don't wear those please.
5Leg wear. Do not use leg warmers. Stripped stockings can be used, so long as you make the rest of the outfit a bit lollier. Remember that your socks should be knee or over the knee length.
6The shoes. Punk Lolita (together with some types of Kodona) is about the only style where boots look good. You might want to get a pair of combat boots, tanker boots, or even punk boots: stompy boots really set off the girl style of the outfit. Chunky heels are also a good option. Remember to always have them squeaky clean. High heels, stilettos, etc. do not go with Punk Lolita.
7The accessories: For your head you might want to retain the Alice bows, but giving them a bit of spice and edge: maybe add some spikes, or studs. How about a cute headband with a skull and some lace on it? Page or news boys caps are also accepted (Why not spice them with small chains or studs?). You could also use crosses as accessories, skulls, studded belts, lace trimmed spiked chokers. Carrying around mascots as the Gloomy Bear or some such could be a good idea too. You could also wear that lol eye patch that you love so much!
8Remember your bag, it should match your outfit, and it can have chains, lace, tartan and look deconstructed, etc.
9The makeup and hair. Your make up can be a bit heavier, but that doesn't mean you have to go all raccoon eyes on your eyeliner. It just means that the make up can be a bit darker, without losing your Lolita look. Why not try some Gothic Lolita make up tutorials? The looks are good for both styles. Fake eyelashes can be used, and a bit darker eyeshadow (but go easy on the black one). Your hair doesn't have to be as neat and doll-like as in the rest of the Lolita fashions, but it doesn't mean you can go out with your bed-head. straighten your bangs and frizzle the rest of your hair, or make messy corkscrew curls; pull your hair into a cute tall side tail, or into two pretty pigtails and then tousle them. Get inspiration from Gothic and Lolita bible scans. If you're a short-haired girl, don't worry, this style can be pulled off with short hair-. Just get creative, but remember: you're still a Lolita. Also, even though this style is a bit more forgiving with the hair colours (you can have red hi-lights r things like that) still go easy on the fantasy hair dyes.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Black and red aren't the only Punk-ish colours. You can also go with purples, blues, pinks, white, etc. You can even wear a sweet Lolita skirt and punk it up with a leather jacket, for example.
- Always remember: be yourself. A True Lolita is herself, no matter what type of style she likes. There's no standard personality for each style.
- Pageboy or newsboy caps are good as head accessories, but so are spiced up alice bows and headbands.
- Look for deconstructed fabrics, tartans, plaids, and fishnets. But don't forget you can add lace trimmings and cute frills or bows too!
- NO RACCOON EYES! Go easy on the eyeliner or black eyeshadow. You're Punk... but still Lolita.
- Remember: stompy boots, not high heeled stilettos.
- Emilie Autumn is NOT Punk Lolita. She has her own style and shouldn't be taken as a role model for the Punk Lolita look. If anyone should be taken as one that's Kana.
- Be careful with this style. Stay away from it if you're a beginner Lolita, because you may fall into the mistake of looking more Western Punk than Punk Lolita or worse: look like a Cosplay Lolita (or Ita Lolita).

Who could buy it? The only apparent contenders would be Intel, TSMC, GloFo or Samsung.
However, while Intel has cash of $20 billion, it has debt of $13 billion and may not be in a position to acquire it.
TSMC says it doesn't want to operate foreign fabs.
GloFo's owners are said to be getting impatient with the company.
So that leaves Samsung which gets its core technology from IBM under the Common Platform Alliance and uses that technology to successfully manufacture in the USA.
The big question now is: what will happen to the Common Platform Alliance?
Other companies which get their core process technology from IBM under the Common Platform Alliance are: GloFo, UMC, ST, Renesas, NEC, Frrescale, Toshiba and Infineon.
It is thought that IBM sold about $1.75 billion worth of semiconductors for a loss of $130 million last year and will lose about the same this year on revenues of $1.45 billion.

The hangar doors have closed on Oshkosh EAA AirVenture for another year with over 500,000 visitors having passed through the gates. Gizmag's airshow highlights coverage earlier this week hardly scratched the surface of the 1000's of gorgeous flying machines on site, so here's a closer look at the sights on offer at one of the world's biggest aviation gatherings.Read More
On September 16, 2011, the pilot of a highly modified WW2 P-51D airplane crashed at the National Championship Air Races in Reno, Nevada. The tragic accident saw the plane known as the "Galloping Ghost" crash into the box seat spectator area, killing the pilot and 10 spectators, with 60 others injured. Now the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has provided an update on its investigation into the much publicized incident.Read More
August 18, 2006 If you can't remember the first time you heard the name Red Bull, we can tell you it wasn't long ago, because the brand didn't exist before 1987 and wasn't sold outside Austria until 1992. Driven by a marketing campaign based around over-the-top, extreme living, Red Bull has become the world's best known and top selling energy drink and one of its most valuable brands in short order. Similarly, the Red Bull Air Race World series was conceived in 2001 to make flying more interesting and accessible for the public, the first race was held in 2003 and the 2006 series has been held in Abu Dhabi, Barcelona, Berlin, St. Petersberg and Instanbul with Budapest this weekend and Longleat (UK), San Francisco, and Perth still to come. In five short years, Red Bull has manufactured a new form of mass-appeal spectator sport where pilots race against the clock around a slalom course of 20 metre high air gates, with races staged in the heart of the world's major cities before an enthralled audience of well over a million spectators at a time. Indeed, the nine race series will have more live spectators in 2006 than will witness the 18 Formula One races. Extraordinary image gallery with this story.Read More

Brothers Redevelopment provides a variety of affordable housing options for more than 700 low-income seniors and families at 14 properties located throughout the Denver metro area. These federally-subsidized independent living communities provide a safe, secure and comfortable setting for those in need. At a few of our properties, we also work with other nonprofit and service agencies to provide more extensive health and wellness, recreation and transportation services.
By making these homes available to qualified residents, 'Brothers' provides a valuable service to a burgeoning senior population while helping the region address one of its most pressing challenges.
East Bay at Hidden Lake - Wait List Opened June 1, 2015
Brothers Redevelopment has opened the waitlist for East Bay at Hidden Lake, our 81-unit community for Seniors located in Westminster. Senior is defined as 62 and older. An applicant must be 62 years of age at the time the application is submitted. You can find an application by clicking HERE.
Brook Haven Apartments, La Alma Family - Waitlist Opened Oct. 15, 2015
Brothers Redevelopment has opened waitlists for 2-bedroom apartments at Brook Haven Apartments, located at 1646 S. Federal Blvd., and La Alma Family, located at 14th Avenue and Lipan Street. Applications for each property are located HERE and HERE.
Property Wait List Closed for all other Brothers Communities
Because Brothers Redevelopment has an adequate pool of applicants for most of its properties, we closed our RENTALS wait list on Aug. 1, 2014. Communities impacted include: Brook Haven, Clayton, Corona, Decatur, Edgewater Plaza, Federal View, Garfield, Jefferson Terrace, La Alma, Sheridan Glen and William Tell Apartments.
When the wait list is fewer than 18 months, Brothers will reopen the wait list and will notify future applicants by placing notices in local publications and posting it on the Brothers Redevelopment web site. Thank you for your patience.
Our oversight and management of these units also ensures that residents' basic housing needs are met and that conditions are in compliance with federal housing standards established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
For Brothers Redevelopment, resident safety and comfort is a top priority. A majority of our properties have on-site managers and maintenance personnel to address issues promptly. All properties also see regular inspections and audits — ensuring sound stewardship and transparency.
Our oversight and ownership of these senior-oriented complexes also provides 'Brothers' a regular stream of earned-income — helping to offset some of the costs associated with the agency's other important housing programs.

text: 000 FXUS63 KPAH 261610 AFDPAH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 1110 AM CDT THU MAY 26 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 1110 AM CDT Thu May 26 2016 Mesoscale update for convective trends... The convective complex continues to sink slowly south and east across the forecast area. The outflow boundary along the leading edge has been making good eastward progress across the Wabash Valley. However, the trailing end of the boundary has become elongated east to west over southeast Missouri. There is some concern that the trailing end of the boundary will slow or stall over se Missouri and extreme sw Kentucky this afternoon. This would allow storms to repeatedly train along and north of the boundary, fed by a very moist southwest low-level flow of 70 degree dew points. WPC mesoscale precip discussion 239 focuses on this region very well. A Flash Flood Watch is being considered for much of the mpd area. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday night) Issued at 124 AM CDT Thu May 26 2016 High confidence in scattered thunderstorms in the short term. The models are in fair agreement with their solutions through the short term. Basically warm or slightly above normal with scattered thunderstorms. The main weakness will be with spatial and temporal parameters of the storms. The models both short and medium range do not have a good handle on timing or location with too much precip at initiation. The common strength or persist solution continues to be a southwest flow with weak perturbation in the flow. Also they agree that at least in the short term the best chance of storms remains west of the Mississippi River today and northwest of the Ohio River after today. This is mainly due to the upper ridge to our southeast which will mitigate chances and qpf especially in the Pennyrile region. However that does not in any way preclude rain in that area...mainly less chance and less coverage. There is ample instability for an isolated strong or severe thunderstorm but the moisture is limited to the lower levels. This may not seem apparent with PW`s >1.5 but aloft it is very dry. The Pacific connection the models were forecasting for this period last week did not materialize. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Wednesday) Issued at 124 AM CDT Thu May 26 2016 Above average confidence that the long term period will be wet, but below average confidence when the precipitation will occur due to model differences. Warm and humid conditions will continue through the long term. The main forecast challenge continues to lie with precipitation probabilities and timing of such. Deep-layer southwest flow will decrease over the remainder of the holiday weekend as mid level ridging takes place. As a result, the flow pattern will become weak by Memorial Day. There will likely be a corresponding decrease in convective coverage over the latter part of the holiday weekend as the flow weakens. Precipitation coverage through most of the period will be dependent on mesoscale features such as outflow boundaries and/or convectively- induced vorticity centers. Given the lack of model skill at longer time ranges with such features, the forecast will continue with generally 20 to 40 percent chance pops. Given the moist environment and rather high PWAT values, locally heavy rain is likely in any thunderstorms that do manage to form. By the end of the period the rather stagnant pattern begins to break down as a progressive system emerges from the plains giving the best chances for precipitation in the long term period. High temperatures in the long term period will generally top out in the mid 80s with overnight lows bottoming out in the low to mid 60s. && .AVIATION... Issued at 549 AM CDT Thu May 26 2016 Introduced a vicinity thunderstorm all sites today. Kept vfr cigs and vsby. Also introduced gusty southerly winds through the daylight hours mainly but kept some wind in overnight. Will have to monitor radar closely for introducing prevailing ts should the need arise. && .PAH Watches/Warnings/Advisories... IL...None. MO...None. IN...None. KY...None. && $$ UPDATE...MY SHORT TERM...KH LONG TERM...JP AVIATION...KH

If there is one commonality between the Pomerol 2011 wines, it is that time and time again they possessed a saline minerality and freshness on the palate.

LONDON (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has joined actress Angelina Jolie and Britain's foreign minister in calling for an end to rape and sexual violence in conflict zones.
Addressing the closing ceremony of a four-day London summit, Kerry said it is time to "banish sexual violence to the dark ages in the history books."
He said the issue was personal to him as a war veteran and father of two daughters.
Kerry echoed appeals by Jolie, a United Nations special envoy. She urged those attending Friday to keep lobbying for action against war zone rape, and concluded: "We can and will end impunity."
The summit, billed as the largest gathering ever held on the topic, has drawn hundreds of officials, diplomats, activists and survivors of rape in conflict zones.

Could Sustainability be a Key to Survival?
You may think things are bad now—and you're right, they are—but today's ongoing economic concerns are obscuring what may prove to be even bigger strategic challenges ahead. These will affect corporations, government agencies and higher education, as well as their in-plants.
We have been in a long period of profound anxiety and uncertainty. Everywhere we look we see that administrators, executives and leaders are examining all aspects of the core business they are responsible for, looking for ways to cut costs due to shrinking revenue streams and smaller budgets. What can an in-plant do to keep itself out of the target sights of the cost cutters?
Be sustainable, that's what!
B.J. Brown, in a book titled "Global Sustainability: Towards Measurement," defined sustainable development this way: "To be the indefinite survival of the human species (with a quality of life beyond mere biological survival) through the maintenance of basic life support systems (air, water, land, biota) and the existence of infrastructures and institutions which distribute and protect the components of these systems."
Do I think that an in-plant print shop can save the human species? Well, not by itself. But we fall under that last sentence, don't you think?…"The existence of infrastructures and institutions which distribute and protect the components of these systems." An operating in-plant plays a critical role in any organization's sustainable efforts. You just need to make the higher-ups aware of that.
Naysayers might argue that when financial considerations are on the table, decision makers don't think highly of sustainability. Well, that's wrong. Check this out:
"One of the real concerns of sustainability advocates is that the stagnant global economy will put pressure on businesses and organizations to freeze, moderate or even eliminate sustainability-oriented programs and messages. At a time when corporate profits have cratered and nearly everyone's job seems at risk, the belief is that spending on sustainability will be lumped in with other examples of unnecessary corporate excess, like corporate jets and stadium luxury suites.

Annette Opalczynski - New Castle, Delaware
I think readers will relate to my poems because they are accessible stories. I'm not a big fan of obscure poetry.
Annette Opalczynski became a writer in the fourth grade. She still remembers the classroom assignment that started it all: What would you do if you visited Peter Pan in Neverland? The other kids wrote about a page and Annette wrote seven. In high school, she began writing poetry. She has always wanted to write a novel, but she doesn't have the patience.
"A poem can be written in one sitting and that gives me a sense of accomplishment. Usually, I work on several poems at the same time, so that if one trail goes cold, I can work on something else. My friends and family are constant sources of inspiration. They provide the joy and the angst that make life worth living. Out of these experiences, I create poetry. I think readers will relate to my poems because they are accessible stories. I'm not a big fan of obscure poetry."
Annette's winning poem is based on a trip that she took with her college friends. In 1995, they embarked on a "death vacation," visiting Arlington Cemetery, the Vietnam Veterans War Memorial, and Edgar Allan Poe's gravesite.
A cemetery tour puts all of your problems in perspective.
"I like complicated thoughts
expressed in simple terms."
~Ruth Hill
Ruth was born and educated in upstate New York. Ruth wanted adventure, so she explored the Adirondacks, Appalachia, and Alaska.
She sailed British Columbia, and worked for BC Lightstations and the BC Forest Service. She became a Design Engineer. She is a lifelong dedicated tutor, and enjoys spoken word.
"Language is more than language to me. Inside a poem is a great artistic painting. There can be color, focus, perspective, and action. I enjoy freedom. I like breaking all the rules. I like mixing up multiple metaphors and using words with many connotations. I like free word association. I like complicated thoughts expressed in simple terms. I write poems that are not clearly defined, like riddles, to stimulate the reader's imagination. Poetry allows sentence structure to be jumbled, pared down, expanded, or jettisoned.
"Sight and sound are not enough. Poetry has to have philosophy, too. I have noticed poets I am most attracted to have pleasing philosophies. They make me feel like I belong on Earth, not an alien in a foreign country. If someone likes something that I wrote, I feel as if I were invisible and am now seen, silent and can now speak, exiled but am now welcome. A reader on the same wavelength is the most important validation. If I met you in person I would be looking down and shifting my feet, but in a poem I can be the real me."
In her first three years of writing, Ruth has won contests and had many poems published. She uses poetry readings as her new excuse to travel."

John Sibley Williams -
Portland, Oregon
"...I wrote a few lines on the back of my hand, then a few more on my arm, then raced back to my car for a notebook. I've written feverishly ever since."
~John Sibley Williams
John literally found poetry one summer day while living in Albany, where he studied at the University of New York. While sitting on a creaky wooden dock bobbing on a lake's arguing currents, he knew he needed to capture the experience in an emotional way. He wrote a few lines on the back of his hand, then a few more on his arm, then raced back to his car for a notebook. He's written feverishly ever since.
After graduating from UNY, John completed an MFA in Creative Writing at Rivier College, and then began traveling abroad, spending time in Eastern Europe and Iceland, which he chronicled in two chapbooks. Upon returning, he spent two months driving across the US, the experiences becoming his debut chapbook, A Pure River (2010, The Last Automat Press).
In 2009, John moved from Boston, his hometown, to Portland, OR, where he now studies Book Publishing at Portland State University, co-manages the Acquisitions department at Ooligan Press, helps the Marketing department at Three Muses Press, and volunteers at the Regional Arts & Culture Council. His poetry has been nominated for the 2009 Pushcart Prize, and he's had work published in over 100 literary journals.
His winning poem, Icelandic Church, stems from his experiences in that country. One evening, John was traveling down a country road and looked up to see a single horse, threadbare and exhausted, standing upon a cliff of volcanic rock that dropped off into the ocean. The scene was eclipsed in fantastical light. From this brief encounter, he wove in other elements from his trip and his imagination to create a narrative he hopes does justice to the experience. ♥

"In a sense, I have been writing all my life. Don't we all, in one way or another?"
~Bo Niles
"The desire to write creatively came suddenly and wonderfully," says Bo. While a college sophomore enrolled in a required course, Biblical History, her theology professor suggested she try creative writing because he liked the sound of her words more than their import! She followed his advice and her life changed. In her junior year, she won the college's prose prize.
After college, Bo began writing and editing at magazines dedicated to architecture and design, one of which was Country Living where she directed photography of houses and rooms and wrote her own copy. She has written a number of books on home design, as well as a travel memoir with her own illustrations, A Window on Provence, about a summer spent in the South of France with her parents. Now that Bo is retired, she has turned to what she has always loved, poetry. She attends poetry workshops and sends out her poems which have been published in various journals.
When Bo was a child, she lived in New York where her father played and sang at nightclubs. At age 14, her family moved to Florence, Italy, where her dad studied composition, began to compose, and played piano on behalf of the local Consulate. Bo spent her teenage years there and eventually returned to the US where she finished high school and college.
Her winning poem, "Etude" is about her father, the pianist, the musician who helped found The American Composers Orchestra, which commissions and presents American music in New York.
Bo and her husband, Bill, live in New York. ♥

John Thomas "J.T." Milford -
Lake Charles, Louisiana
"I began writing poetry in the 1960's, tuning in and joining with America's great decade of expression. I continued occasionally writing through the '70's, 80's and into the '90's. At the end of 1995, I retired from public practice as a CPA and began to take a greater interest in writing. I have no formal training in writing, so I have had to read in order to understand something about writing poetry. I feel that I write in order to express my feelings about events, things, and people I observe in life. I owe Jendi Reiter of Winning Writers (www.winningwriters.com) a great deal for her help and constructive critique."
On composing his winning poem, J.T. says, "I was looking through a classical CD catalogue and saw a composition by Robin Milford called Fishing by Moonlight. Since we both have the same family name, I ordered the CD. I was very impressed by his music and sad for his early tragic death. He wrote the composition about a painting with the same title by Aert van der Neer. My poem reflects Robin Milford's music and my own experiences in night fishing. The word chromatic in the poem pays homage to the nature of Robin Milford's music."
J.T. was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana on September 1, 1929. He graduated in 1953 from the University Southwestern Louisiana, now known as The University of Louisiana at Lafayette. He also attended McNeese State University.
His winning poem Fishing by Moonlight (opposite page) and his Honorable Mention A Time for Pears (page 4) are his first to be published.

text: CAPE Fears Miss the Point Joseph G. Paul May 15, 2014 Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Equities With the recent wobbles in the market, scary headlines about stock bubbles are back in the spotlight. We think all this foreboding overlooks an important point: In today's low-return world, where better than stocks to put your money? We're particularly reacting to a recent article in the New York Times, entitled "Time to Worry About Stock Market Bubbles", featuring comments from Yale professor Robert Shiller, who shared the Nobel prize in economics last year for his work on asset prices. Shiller observes that, based on his cyclically adjusted price earnings (CAPE) ratio—which looks at current stock prices relative to an inflation-adjusted average of the past 10 years of earnings—stocks have been this expensive only thrice in the past: the 1920s (before the Great Crash of 1929), the late 1990s (the Internet bubble) and 2007 (the eve of the global financial crisis). Those are disturbing comparisons. In a preemptive strike, the article notes that stock boosters always say, "It's different this time," and that they typically cite counterarguments about the muting of the business cycle or the advent of the Internet to justify exceptionally high valuations. As we all know, the stock boosters have been proved wrong time and again. We offer another perspective. If you look behind the averages and into the historical drivers of earnings and the multiples that investors are willing to pay for those earnings, the picture looks less grim. First, by our calculation, Shiller's current CAPE multiple of 25 times implies adjusted earnings for the S&P 500 Index of about $75, a full 30% below the market's current trailing earnings. A drop of that magnitude would take a recession-level collapse in revenues and margins. Is that a plausible expectation? Much has also been made of the fact that profit margins are at record levels. But margins have been rising for nearly 25 years, and many of the factors levitating them—globalization, lower borrowing costs and lower debt balances—are unlikely to reverse any time soon. Second, we point to a critical driver of earnings multiples: the discount rate used to value earnings. Discount rates are related to the prevailing rate of interest. Today, rates are well below average, whether long term or recent. Lower rates argue for higher multiples. Shiller isn't completely wrong—stocks do look expensive relative to history. We simply believe that this point doesn't matter nearly as much as most people think. We cannot go back and buy stocks in the past. So rather than asking "Are stocks attractively priced relative to history?" investors should be asking "Are stocks attractively priced relative to my other investment choices today?" And the answer to that question is yes. From that vantage point, we'd say that stocks remain the best game in town. Our forecast for the 10-year return of global stocks is 7.1% a year, based on our proprietary forecasting model, which considers both historical and current economic, business and capital-market conditions.1 This is materially below our "normal" expectation of about 9.2% a year (Display 1). But returns are low everywhere. Our 10-year expected annual return from bonds is 2.8%, well below the "normal" expectation of 6%, reflecting today's ultralow interest rates, the starting point of our investment horizon. No one likes low returns. But in a world where returns are below normal across every asset class, stocks shine. We see this in the equity risk premium (ERP)—the extra compensation that investors demand for taking on the greater risks of owning equities over bonds. Based on our 10-year projections shown above, the spread is 4.3%, or roughly a third higher than the long-term average. Based on current 12-month forward earnings yields (a proxy for stock returns), the global ERP is 7.9%, or nearly double the long-term average of 4.3% (Display 2). Low returns are a fact of investment life today. It's important that investors adjust their perspective to accommodate this new reality and evaluate stocks relative to their alternatives—not simply relative to history—to improve the chances of meeting their long-term goals. 1The AllianceBernstein Capital Markets Engine is a Monte Carlo model that simulates 10,000 plausible paths of return for each asset class and rate of inflation, producing a probability distribution of outcomes; however, it goes beyond randomization by taking the prevailing market conditions into consideration and basing the forecasting on the building blocks of asset returns, such as inflation, yield spreads, stock earnings and price multiples. The analysis incorporates the linkages that exist among the returns of the various asset classes and factors in a reasonable degree of randomness and unpredictability.

A special anti-corruption court on Friday let off all accused except one in the 2008 cash-for-vote scandal for lack of evidence. Special Judge Narottam Kaushal noted that MP Ashok Argal and then MPs Faggan Singh Kulaste and Mahabir Singh Bhagora all of the BJP had taken part in an enactment to show horse-trading in Parliament with the help of a prominent TV news channel.
The practice of laying a trap to catch a bribe-taker is nothing new. Only difference in this case is that trap was laid to catch the bribe-giver and bribe-takers were only decoys, the court observed.
There was no direct or indirect evidence against Argal, Kulaste and Bhagora, or against former SP general secretary Amar Singh, L K Advanis former aide Sudheendra Kulkarni, and BJP worker Sohail Hindustani, the court said.
The seventh accused, Sanjeev Saxena, was charged with abetting corruption under section 12 of the Prevention of Corruption Act. However, the court said, there was no direct or unimpeachable circumstantial evidence to hold that Sanjeev Saxena was employed with Amar Singh.
The court observed that the police had been unable to trace the trail of the cash, and the principal offender who attempted to bribe BJP MPs could not be brought before the court.
The mere fact that three MPs permitted cameras to be installed on their person or in their house, presupposes that they did not want to hide their activities, and the defence argument that the entire episode was enactment of a drama to expose horse-trading was absolutely plausible, the court said.
The fact that the MPs collaborated with a reputed TV channel further established that they wanted to bring the event in the public domain, the judge said.
The 30-page order noted that the prosecution had been unable to link Amar Singh to the money allegedly given in his name. Singhs statement of (bank) accounts does not show withdrawals corresponding to the amount seized, the court said. Also, pictures allegedly showing the BJP MPs speaking to Singh did not show the other side of the conversation, which might have established that the Singh sahab referred to in the conversation was Amar Singh.
On Kulkarni, the court said there was no evidence of his involvement in the giving or taking of the bribe, and he had only introduced the CNN-IBN team with Sohail Hindustani and the three BJP MPs with a view to facilitate recording of evidence of horse-trading.
There was
