Indian GP boss Mark Hughes Quit : To join Abu Dhabi circuit
By Indian Grand Prix Admin on Jan 25, 2011 in F1, formula one, India, Indian Grand Prix, Site News
In what will definitely be a setback to the suppoters of the Indian grand prix, Indian GP boss Mark Hughes has called it quits and has left the Jaypee backed company which is incharge of the track which is being constructed to hold the maiden Indian Grand Prix this year (2011) in October.
The Jaypee Group confirmed the departure of Mark Hughes, the reason given for his deaprture from the Group was 'due to Personal Reasons'. However is rumour-ville is to be believed Mark Hughes left to join the Abu Dhabi GP. Hughes himself confirmed the news saying that he was working with the Abu Dhabi GP but he is still associated with Jaypee and advising on the Indian Grand Prix event.
Meanwhile the Jaypee group announced the replacement for Mark Hughes as Azhar Ghazili who has previous experience with the formula one race at Malaysia.
"Mr Ghazali is a very capable man and he's more than making up for Mr Hughes's absence," the company remarked.
We sure hope so !

Shadow Inventory: How Low New Construction Helps the Outlook
There's been a lot of attention over the last few years on the "shadow inventory" of potential foreclosures — a pent-up supply of homes that could smother an incipient housing recovery.
But there's been comparatively less attention on the lack of new housing construction, which has helped to offset the potential damage from elevated levels of foreclosed properties. New home building has been at its lowest levels since World War II in 2009, 2010, and 2011.
"Not too many people talk about the lack of new construction over the last several years, which has set the foundation for a snapback in pricing," says Michael Sklarz, president of real-estate research firm Collateral Analytics.
Frank Nothaft, the chief economist at Freddie Mac, elaborated on this point in a research note published last week. While there was severe overbuilding at the depth of the housing bust, from 2006 to 2009, "the relatively small amount of new construction, coupled with increased household formation, has allowed much of the excess vacant inventory to be absorbed over the past few years," he wrote.
According to Census data, the share of vacant homes for rent is down to the lowest level in 10 years, with a vacancy rate of 8.6%. The vacancy rate of for-sale homes is down to 2.1%, the lowest in six years.
Mr. Nothaft writes:
This continuing shrinkage in excess vacant stock is important because it means that in most markets the [bank-owned] homes on the for-sale market are not competing with an oversized vacant housing inventory. Thus, [bank-owned] homes may be more attractive to investors and first-time buyers because fewer vacant homes are available, and [bank-owned] sales will have less effect on other home sales or home values.
The upshot is that the decline in foreclosed-property sales and stronger demand for those properties are beginning to drive prices up. Even if home prices dip during the seasonally weaker autumn and winter months, "the declines probably won't be big enough to erase the good second-quarter news on home values," writes Mr. Nothaft. "This means the housing recovery may finally be coming out from the shadows."
This is the third of three posts examining the shadow inventory.

Boy, that really got out of hand fast, didn't it? In 2010, the Bucs looked like a team on the rise, winning 10 games and featuring a number of emerging superstars. In 2011? They were one of two teams with a -200 or greater point differential. The Bucs allowed more points per game than any team in the NFL, the offense completely regressed and they closed out the season with an improbable 10-game losing streak that cost Raheem Morris his job.
|Vital Info: Buccaneers
Buccaneers team page
2012 Schedule Roster
Latest news updates Fantasy outlook
|Full 2012 Projections:
Pete Prisco Pat Kirwan
Enter Greg Schiano, who might have a bigger challenge ahead of him than putting Rutgers on the map football-wise. He's got one advantage on Morris though: the front office came out swinging in the Offseason champs tournament, adding Carl Nicks and Vincent Jackson in free agency and Doug Martin in the first round of the draft. Those three additions, along with a more disciplined approach from Schiano, should do wonders to help Josh Freeman bounce back to being a legitimate upper echelon quarterback in the NFL. (Jackson is so happy to work with Freeman he even asked for $55 million over five years, to rep Freeman's number.)
The youthful pu-pu platter of Mike Williams, Arrelious Benn and Sammie Stroughter now looks a lot better. Martin will combine with LeGarrett Blount to create an interesting one-two punch, even if Blount's not happy about it. Donald Penn and Davin Joseph should see an improvement in their play along the line with the addition of the physical Nicks.
Defensively, the Buccaneers should be better in 2012, but that's not a byproduct of obvious improvements so much as it is the absolute impossibility of Tampa Bay's defense performing worse. Tampa's invested heavily in the defensive line over the past two years, drafting Gerald McCoy and Brian Price in 2010 and following it up with Da'Quan Bowers and Adrian Clayborn in 2011. Bowers already tore his Achilles and the Bucs can only hope he returns in time to play at some point this season. McCoy is the key for this team to not look like a sieve again: if he's healthy, the defensive line could actually be somewhat of a strength.
Clayborn's a legit candidate to have a breakout season this year. The linebackers should be improved with the savvy draft addition of Lavonte David, a spark plug of a defender. But David's not going to transform this unit alone. Mason Foster needs to continue his solid play, and Tampa needs to hope that Quincy Black can be anything close to average.
The secondary looked like it could end up being devastated this offseason, but then Aqib Talib's nasty court case was dismissed. If he can avoid a suspension from Roger Goodell, he'll be a tremendous asset to Tampa Bay, especially if Greg Schiano can keep him in line. And Talib will also make Eric Wright a much more acceptable second cornerback. Wright (ironically the cornerback who got in trouble this offseason) and E.J. Biggers as the starting cornerbacks would be ... not good. First-round pick Mark Barron should make an early impact -- he'll need to in order to justify passing on Morris Claiborne for a safety.
Key Changes
Roster Additions: Carl Nicks, G; Vincent Jackson, WR; Eric Wright, CB; Gary Gibson, DT; Dan Orlovsky, QB; Brett Ratliff, QB; Amobi Okoye, DT; Jamon Meredith OT
Roster Departures: Earnest Graham, RB; Albert Haynesworth, DE; Tanard Jackson, S; Josh Johnson, QB; Jeff Faine, C; Tim Crowder, DE; Sean Jones, S; James Lee, OT; Kregg Lumpkin, RB; Corey Lynch, S; Elbert Mack, CB; John McCargo, DT; Nick Reed, DE; Michael Spurlock, WR; Geno Hayes, LB; Rudy Carpenter, QB
Staff: Head Coach Greg Schiano hired to replace Raheem Morris; Mike Sullivan hired as offensive coordinator; Bill Sheridan hired as defensive coordinator; Butch Davis hired as "special advisor"
After reportedly flirting with Oregon's Chip Kelly, the Bucs eventually landed Schiano, a hard-nosed disciplinarian who deserves a ton of credit for making Rutgers football respectable. Schiano's got NFL cred because he's a Bill Belichick disciple, but it's difficult to ignore the fact that college coaches simply don't succeed in the NFL often. Schiano's decision to hire Butch Davis wasn't curious, per se, since Schiano cut his teeth with Davis at Miami. What's strange is that Davis isn't serving as the defensive coordinator, primarily because taking that job would require him to give up the severance pay he's receiving from North Carolina after being fired for a nanny-related academics scandal. But most folks believe Davis will have plenty to do with the team, even in his "advisor" role. For a coach hellbent on accountability and discipline, that's an odd juxtaposition to say the least.
X-Factor: Josh Freeman
Freeman looked to really be blossoming during a 2010 season in which he had 25 touchdowns and just six interceptions. But 2011 was a nightmare all around. Freeman suffered a thumb injury during the Bears-Bucs game in London and wasn't the same. Not helping matters? Freeman aggravated that injury at a gun range a week later during the Bucs bye. Ignore the nature of shooting guns: there's nothing wrong with that in a controlled environment like a range. The issue is that it was in the middle of the season and he uses his thumb to throw the ball. From the Chicago game on, Freeman threw just 11 touchdowns to 16 interceptions. If Freeman is healthy and focused in 2012, he should bounce back to the guy we saw in 2010. Given all the talent the Bucs put around him in the offseason, he doesn't have much of an excuse if he doesn't.
Culture club
Schiano wants to change the culture in Tampa Bay. And he's done a decent job of getting rid of unhappy campers like Kellen Winslow, who was shipped to Seattle for peanuts. But it's one thing to talk about culture in the offseason when everyone is 0-0. What happens if the Bucs struggle (or maybe when the Bucs struggle) out to a bad start? Morris got run off for not being able to control his players and keep them in line when they started to struggle. Will the players who were brought in by a different regime respond to Schiano's style in a positive manner? That remains to be seen.
Investment return
The defensive line, as we noted, has been a point of investment for the Bucs over the past two seasons. We already know one pick -- Bowers -- won't return on Tampa's investment this season. Will McCoy finally pan out? Can Price keep up the steady play? Is Clayborn ready to break out? If McCoy struggles and/or is injured again, questions about his ability to stay healthy will really pop up. And if the defensive line doesn't begin to really return on the Bucs investment, the team is going to struggle badly again on defense.
Let me be frank
During the offseason, LeGarrette Blount said he'd be upset about the Bucs drafting Trent Richardson with their first pick in the draft. They didn't, but they traded back up to grab Martin in the first round. This was a necessity -- the Bucs only ran the ball 346 times in 2011, last in the league -- but It'll be interesting to see how a guy like Blount, who hasn't been afraid to speak his mind -- will embrace having another guy around to help share the carries. Tampa needs two motivated guys looking to handle the workload. They don't need a pair of divided running backs fighting over carries.
Insider's Take
"The young tackles need to produce if they're going to stop people. They're like everyone else in the division -- will they be able to get that stop when they need it? They definitely added weapons for Freeman. They have the ability to be much more explosive and I'd put the interior of their offensive line, from guard to guard, up against anyone. They will be improved, and I like the combination of Barron and Barber at safety. Barron will be a perennial Pro Bowler. But overall they may struggle some on defense, and you have to wonder how long it takes for all those new parts to come together and get on the same page."
Xs and Os
By Pat Kirwan | NFL Insider
Two years ago Tampa Bay had an emerging superstar at quarterback who reminded people of Warren Moon and a rookie wide receiver who couldn't be stopped. Then along came 2011 and they couldn't score more than 26 points in a single game.

Now Greg Schiano is the head coach and there will be a return to power football and play-action passing in what many would describe as an old school offense. The 2012 Bucs are not going to beat themselves on offense with turnovers, mental errors, penalties or lackluster play. Of course, to play that way the defense can't be giving up over 30 points a game, which it did eight times last year.
Josh Freeman is still an outstanding prospect at QB and with the addition of WR Vincent Jackson and a savvy tight end like Dallas Clark there will be excellent passing opportunities. Jackson comes over from San Diego, where he was part of a vertical passing game, just what Tampa is trying to do off play action.
Clark has always been receiving tight end, getting open underneath and working the curl and short seam routes. Signing guard Carl Nicks from division opponent New Orleans tells me the inside power run game is the foundation of the offense. It will be interesting to see if LeGarrette Blount can do things the Schiano way or if he finds himself watching rookie Doug Martin run the ball.
The Bucs' defense will be a 4-3 scheme and it is time for the front four with all those high draft picks to come through. A word of caution to the players, Schiano didn't draft you and if you don't play hard and smart every play you will not be in Tampa long. The Bucs have 10 games against top-10 offenses from last year and there is no margin for error.
There could be as many as three rookies starting on defense and that usually means problems with formation recognition, mental errors and just the challenges division quarterbacks Drew Brees, Matt Ryan and Cam Newton present. One very interesting defensive draft pick this past spring was linebacker Lavonte David. He has safety skills as well as linebacker skills and he should give the Bucs a hybrid player who can stay on the field when tams go to three-wide sets or use a flex tight end.
Draft Recap
By Rob Rang | NFLDraftScout.com Senior Analyst
In selecting Alabama All-American safety Mark Barron at No. 7 overall, Boise State running back Doug Martin at No. 31 and the best weak-side linebacker in the 2012 draft in Nebraska's Lavonte David in the second round (No. 58), general manager Mark Dominik and new head coach Greg Schiano began their first draft together with as impressive a trio of prospects as any selected this year.
|Buccaneers Draft Analysis
A physical and instinctive defender with excellent ball skills, Barron could provide the leadership in the deep patrol similar to what Schiano had when coaching Ravens All-Pro Ed Reed when the two were at the University of Miami.
It could be another superstar playing for the Ravens -- running back Ray Rice -- that Schiano leaned on heavily while at Rutgers that may have served as the inspiration behind the Bucs aggressively trading back up into the first round to nab Martin.
Like the 5-foot-8, 199-pound Rice (as measured at the 2008 combine), Martin is a bit shorter (5-9, 223 pounds) than scouts would prefer but has an even thicker, more muscled build than Rice. Martin is a tough interior runner who is able to run through contact because of his determined, powerful style. He has excellent lateral agility and balance, a strong stiff-arm and has the speed to run away from defenders in the open field.
The rest of the Bucs' picks:
1st Round - No. 7 overall - Mark Barron, S, Alabama
1st Round - No. 31 overall - Doug Martin, RB, Boise State
2nd Round - No. 58 overall - Lavonte David, OLB, Nebraska
5th Round - No. 140 overall - Najee Goode, ILB, West Virginia
6th Round - No. 174 overall - Keith Tandy, CB, West Virginia
7th Round - No. 212 overall - Michael Smith, RB, Utah State
7th Round - No. 233 overall - Drake Dunsmore, FB, Northwestern

Minted's design challenges give us the creme de la creme in stationary options, and the Round Flourish Personalized Stationary ($35-42) by Whisker Graphics has elegance that embellishes our words instead of overwhelming them. Calling this design classic couldn't be more appropriate; Whitney, the designer behind Whisker Graphics, admits that the clean lines of her image are "reminiscent of a ceiling medallion." The warm dark edging and rounded corners of this particular style sets it apart from the pack and makes a built in framing device that's simply lovely.
Here's the scoop... Ceiling medallions are a traditional architectural element that adorn our spaces. The "flourish" in Whitney's design happens to be a flouncy version of a common motif called a rosette. We can spot rosettes from their stylized flower design and round shape. The design originated in ancient Egypt and spread through Mediterranean civilizations to India; cross-cultural objects from the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Minoan Crete and everywhere in between were decorated with rosettes. The design enjoyed a revival in Romanesque and Renaissance architecture as a larger reflection of renewed interest in antiquity.
[Btw, if you want to get a head start on your holiday cheer, right now you can get 15% off Minted Holiday Cards, so take a look when you check out this stationary!]

View all teaching evaluations for this course
Units: 3
Meeting Time: Tu 6:25-9:05
Meeting Location: 136
Course Start: January 07, 2014
Class Number (formerly Course Control Number) (Non-1Ls): 49667
This practice-oriented course will take students step-by-step through the mediation process and is designed to give the practical knowledge needed to work as a lawyer representing clients in mediation, both within the United States and internationally. Topics will include: an overview of mediation and how it differs from other forms of dispute resolution; ethical issues for mediators and lawyers; drafting mediation clauses; differing approaches in court-ordered and party-agreed mediation; obtaining the agreement of your client and the opposing party to engage in the process; selecting the "right" mediator; preparing a case for mediation; participating in the mediation sessions; follow-up actions after the mediation; and cross-cultural issues in mediation.
The course will explore these issues in a wide variety of legal contexts, including disputes regarding employment, business/commercial matters, family law, public policy issues and international matters. Throughout the class we will be considering the values underlying the mediation process and exploring the perspectives of the mediator and the parties to the dispute, as well as the lawyers who represent the parties and appear before the mediator.
There will be a heavy emphasis on hands-on learning, with students participating in several mediation role plays.
The instructor, Michelle Leetham, has been a lawyer for more than 25 years practicing in many diverse fields, including labor & employment, construction, consumer products, insurance coverage, intellectual property and international law. She graduated in 1986 from Boalt Hall School of Law and has an undergraduate degree in Rhetoric from U.C. Berkeley. Following a clerkship with the California Supreme Court, she practiced with the firm of Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison before joining Bechtel Corporation where her last role was Vice President, Principal Counsel & Manager of Litigation. Ms. Leetham led the effort to develop Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) programs for Bechtel, and she is a regular contributor to bar association and other legal group efforts to promote the use of ADR in both domestic and international venues. She has participated in scores of mediations, both as an outside advocate and as a client representative. She currently is General Counsel of Rodan & Fields, LLC in San Francisco. She is the former President of the Northern California International Arbitration Club and is an Adviser to the ALI Restatement of the Law Third on the U.S. Law of International Commercial Arbitration.
Serving as Assistant Lecturers and mediators for in-class role plays are two senior associate lawyers, Alka Ramchandani and Sarah Nichols, both of whom have extensive mediation experience and have participated in jury trials. Ms. Ramchandani works at Epstein Becker Green, PC in San Francisco, where she has a broad employment practice that includes OSHA and immigration compliance, in addition to more traditional employment practice areas. Ms. Nichols hails from Australia where she attended law school, and now works at Ogletree Deakins, PC in San Francisco. She represents clients in all aspects of employment law, including compliance with international law. Students will benefit from their extensive experience, as well as their insights on how to navigate law firm life as an associate.

Finding the one is different for everyone. For some it comes easy, however for others, it is a long dreadful process that seems bleak in the beginning. Finding that special someone to build a relationship with could go one of two ways: love at first sight or years of countless date after date. Either way, he or she is out there searching and waiting for his or her happily ever after.
For those who find love at first sight, good for them. For everyone else, lurching toward a commitment is a little unclear for a while. When a couple reaches the point in their relationship where it is either "do" or "die," how are they supposed to know? Are they basing it on the love they have for each other or the time they have put into the relationship? One or both of them could ponder over this dilemma so long that it fester into a life of its on. Before the couple notices, it is two years later. Sad thing when the relationship fails, neither party could answer the question, "Why didn't it work out?"
Even worse is getting caught up in the newness a new love offers, that head-over-heals feeling. What is more devastating is discovering on your wedding day that he or she really is not the one. At this moment, one or both realizes that each was caught up in the fairy tale of love and was not actually paying attention to the small signs of problem. Like she wants to build a house now while he wants to rent an apartment to save. This is not communication.
Every relationship is helped by good communication, but if one is looking for the one, communication is essential or the couple will not make it to the next level. Talking and openly sharing one's feelings is key if one hopes to find the one. More than feelings, one has to be willing and able to discuss life issues. Solid communication is about knowing if a partner wants to buy a house or live in an apartment. Couples need to be able to talk about anything even if it causes issues. Resolving these issues involves discussion and solution.
It is essential that each partner communicate his or her inner feelings. After all, the entire premise of finding the one is about building a life together. Once each partner has communicated his or her feelings, hopes and dreams, they individually need to make sure that it matches their partner's vision.
Another thing that each need to realize is no one is going to be exactly alike. Differences are what make us unique. Why would anyone want someone just like him or her? What is important is whether or not a couple discusses their differences. It is also essential to determine if the differences are things that will drive them apart or pull them together. Having small differences is healthy; so do not let small things come between possible long-term happiness.

$10 for museum admission and miniature-train ride for two (up to $24 value)
$19 for museum admission and miniature-train ride for four (up to $48 value)
The miniature train ride is fun for younger kids and the museum also offers trolley rides which are included with admission.

Young children can also visit the Creation Station, which offers interactive learning and craft activities related to modes of transportation. Each month features a different project; in January children can create miniature home-made sleighs. The cost is $2 per person per 1 hour session in addition to regular museum admission. Your child can also celebrate her birthday at the Creation Station:
"Parties include: 90-minutes of exclusive Creation Station playtime, museum admission, snack sacks, party bags, helium balloon for each child, a special gift for the birthday child, and all paper products. (Our 11:00 party includes an all-beef hotdog for each child guest.)"

On their designated day, their name will appear on the museum marquee as the Honorary Conductor; they will greet guests from the front seat of the tram; they will help the train engineer check tickets, and yell "All Aboard" each time the train leaves the station during their one hour work shift. When they depart, they will take home a signed picture of the train crew and a Conductor's Club Certificate. The memories are priceless; the cost is $125."

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Lisa Vanderpump has been trying to help her friend, Brandi Glanville, feel better throughout this journey, as she has had some tough months in 2013. But after watching the episode, Lisa felt a little odd when Brandi chose Yolanda Foster to go with her to Sacramento. According to a new Bravo report published on Jan. 21, "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Lisa Vanderpump is now revealing that she thought Brandi's comment about "diamonds and darlings" was a direct diss.
"She was not in a particularly good place, and I was aware that her visiting her family was also probably going to be emotionally difficult. I had offered my support in accompanying her, but she declined, choosing Yolanda instead, which in retrospect was probably better as I was playing catchup all year," Lisa revealed, adding, "It's strange when I hear her say I am all diamonds and darlings and I shouldn't go with her. . . Subtle dig, but it registered. Anyway the loss of Chica was the first hurdle to overcome."
Of course, Lisa didn't go to Sacramento with Brandi because she thought that Yolanda was the better fit to deal with her family issues. What do you think of her comments about Lisa's personality?

Purdue University's official Twitter account reports a shooting on campus on Tuesday, and that one suspect has been taken into police custody. There are no reported injuries, and campus police have now issued an "all clear" to students and faculty.
Purdue Campus Police and West Lafayette, Indiana Police have cleared the electrical engineering building and a search of the area continues. Students and faculty have been instructed to shelter in place until further notice.
At approximately 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday the shelter in place order was lifted for all buildings on the Purdue University campus except the electrical engineering building.
In a message to Purdue students and staff earlier, Purdue University stated:
"Shooting reported on campus; Bldg. Electrical Engineering; avoid area; shelter in place; Check www.purdue.edu for updates."
The Journal & Courier reports that two Purdue University students said they heard what sounded like two shots and saw someone who possibly had blood on his or her hands.
As the number of school shootings continue to rise across America, many state and local school officials have turned to the United States Department of Homeland Security for assistance.

I've watched fear keep many people from achieving all God would have them achieve. I've watched fear keep a guy from pursuing the girl of his dreams. I've watched fear drive people to the safe side, rather than to assume the risk required to pursue their dreams.
Fear is the enemy of progress. Fear is the antagonist of pursuit. Fear is the foe of fulfillment in life.
What can we do about fear? How can we overcome the dreaded fear?
I don't know that we can completely…or that we even want to completely…but I think we need to learn to manage the fear in our life. Hopefully this post can help.
Next time you are faced with a seemingly uncontrollable fear…
Ask yourself these 7 questions:
Is it a God-given or a man-made fear? – Fear is an emotion and God can use fear to keep you from harm. Is what you would be doing against God's will for you or others? If it's wrong to do, no wonder you are afraid. God may be trying to protect you. If you are continually making bad decisions in your life, you'll likely live in fear. You may not even be able to understand the emotion, but in my experience, it's one way God draws His children to Himself. Failure to walk by faith, which is a sin by the way, can also bring upon the emotion of fear. If you're fear is from God…obey God! That's your answer every time.
Is it a rational or an irrational fear? – Consider whether you are basing your fears on fact or fiction. Are you making up the scenario of what could go wrong or is the fear based on real information you have? Be honest with yourself here. If you've been making up the excuses, dismiss them and proceed.
Is it probable or improbable? – The truth is that most of what we fear never comes true. Our mind is capable of all kinds of worst-case scenarios that keep us from moving forward. We shouldn't allow fear in things that will probably never even happen stop the progress God may want to bring in our life. The fact is you may fail, but remember, failure is a part of building life experience. Unless you know you're going to fail (which is highly unlikely) I suggest you move forward.
Can anything be done to diminish the risk? – We should attempt to diminish fear through planning and preparation as much as possible. There is nothing wrong and everything right about being prepared. I'm not motivated by fear, but I have an alarm system at my house. (And a shotgun! 🙂 ) If your fear is based on a lack of preparation, get busy developing the systems and strategies to help you succeed.
Is what I'm fearing necessary or unnecessary? – Is this something you must address? If it's a conflict you've been avoiding, for example, the fear will only get stronger the longer you wait. The earlier you face the fear the more likely you'll get positive results. Sooner or later, the fear must be faced. What better time than now?
Is the fear personal or impersonal? – Are you afraid of your abilities or the reaction of others? Do you wonder if you have what it takes? It's only natural that a challenge would create an amount of fear…even a captivation with fear. Every act of courage means you ignore an aspect of fear. Don't let your insecurities keep you from achieving your dreams.
Are you satisfied with the status quo? – I know it's a hard question, but if fear is keeping you from moving forward, and you've answered the other questions, this may be the one. You need to strongly consider the repercussions of giving into your fear. It may mean you stand still. It may mean you go backwards. It may mean you never realize the dreams you have for your life or the calling God has placed upon you. Are you willing to live with that?
Share your story. Have you allowed fear to keep you from realizing all God has for you? What would you add to my list?

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Lenz, Uli (Ulrich Martin)
Lenz, Uli (Ulrich Martin), piano; b. Frankfurt/Main, Germany, 10 March 1955. His mother Luise Marie Lenz, was a professional classical pianist, born February 23, 1926 in Frankfurt/Main. His father Wolfram Sebastian Emanuel Lenz was a professional classical composer, arranger, conductor, pianist, organist, born April 28, 1906 in Halle in Germany. He died in 1993.
He studied classical piano, cello and composition. From 1959-1968, he studied piano, composition and improvisation with his father Emanuel Lenz. From 1968-1973 he studied piano with Professor Ruth Rokohl at the Frankfurt Conservatory. From 1974-1978 he studied piano with Professor Gisela Sott, cello with Professor Rainer Noack and composition with Professor Hans-Ulrich Engelmann at the Frankfurt University.
When Lenz attended the Frankfurt Conservatory during the '70s, he studied classical piano and cello, but on his off-hours he played jazz wherever he could "anywhere from dance classes and piano bars to strip joints" both solo and with his own group. Upon completion of his degree, he moved to Italy to take in a new scene and play with different groups.
He returned to Germany in 1980, this time to Berlin, and made enough connections to begin touring Europe with other groups. He also made a name for himself as a solo performer, making his first unaccompanied appearance at a jazz festival in 1985, and touring Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean the following year. In 1987, Lenz traveled across the Atlantic for the first time and made his New York City debut. Shortly afterwards, Lenz sustained a hand injury that required a tendon transplant and a full year of rehab. Despite having to rework some of his fingering techniques, Lenz emerged from the ordeal with his skills intact, and his musicality more focused than ever. He played the Montreux Jazz Festival for the first time in 1989. Lenz spent the '90s as a mainstay on the festival circuit, playing numerous gigs all over the world.
In 1997, Lenz formed a trio featuring bassist Pepe Berns and drummer Thomas Alkier, who would accompany him through his European appearances. In 1999, Lenz signed with New York's Arkadia Jazz label.
His wife is Jutta Lenz, a painter.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
toxic chemicals, BPA, triclosan
Over the past few decades, we've unwittingly carried a lot of toxins into our homes, only to find out later that they weren't good for us (BPA and flame retardants come immediately to mind). That's largely because the 80,000 chemicals produced in the United States are regulated by the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act, an outdated and inefficient law that lets poorly tested chemicals into the marketplace. Toxic chemical exposure has been scientifically linked to 180 diseases and health conditions, and protecting Americans has fallen largely to the states.
In the past eight years, 18 states have passed 71 chemical safety laws, according to a Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families and SAFER States report released this week. The laws addressed single chemicals, such as BPA and toxic flame retardants, and created new regulation programs. Many of the laws targeted chemicals that threaten children's health—and despite tough opposition from the chemical industry, most of the laws passed with an overwhelming bipartisan majority.
The report 'Healthy States: Protecting Families from Toxic Chemicals While Congress Lags Behind' from SAFER States and Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families details the action taken by state governments against toxic chemicals. Photo Courtesy Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families.
The report attributed the rising trend in state-driven toxic chemical laws to three things:
1. Increasing scientific evidence. As more reports surface detailing the health risks—including cancer, infertility, and learning and developmental disabilities—associated with chemicals such as BPA, triclosan, triclocarban and others, it's becoming harder to ignore the dangers.
2. Outcry from an informed public. Many Americans have been urging their legislators to do something. A recent poll found that 78 percent of Americans are concerned about the threats that toxic chemicals pose to their children's health.
3. Outdated laws. A law made when Gerald Ford was president can't keep up with an industry built on R&D.
The report predicts that unless Congress steps up and passes a reform, at least 25 states will introduce their own toxic chemicals legislation in the next session. Given the mess that the current Congress is in, this may be just fine. State governments are getting things done.

Endangered Whales and Life: Japan continues to pour radioactive materials into the Pacific Ocean
In today's JAPAN TODAY newspaper, Fukushima plant operators stated that dumping the radioactive water from the recent nuclear meltdown had less effect on the environment.
As stated in the article:
"The operator, which earlier projected that the readings could reach 170 billion bequerels, said it had not detected any substantial changes in the levels of radioactive materials in seawater sampled off the plant's shore and farther offshore since the release."
"OK, science class students, let's do an experiment. Let's take a cup of radioactive materials (make sure you have your HazMat suit on…) and then pour it into the ocean. Now lets go off shore about five miles and "see" if we can detect the radiation."
Little Hiyuko raises her hand.
"Yes, Hiyuko?"
"Teacher, because the sea is so big and a little cup of radioactivity so small, wouldn't the water disperse the radioactivity?"
"Yes, that's true, Hiyuko."
"But it's still radioactive! What about the fish and all the marine life? And don't people eat fish and crabs and stuff?"
"Well, yes, they do. But they can go other places to get it. And Hiyuko, it's such a small amount of radioactive material. You'd have to eat a lot of fish to get poisoned. Besides that, Hiyuko, some day you are going to die anyway!"
That is the way it is being communicated in Japan. I know several teachers and students of teachers who have been told this by school administrators. With over 10,393 tons of contaminated water poured into the Pacific Ocean (and continuing), dispersed radioactive materials, like an infected open sore, are being poured into the Pacific Ocean daily.
I can see the officials saying:
"Well, it's a big ocean. And anyway, it's OUR ocean. We can do what we want and NOBODY has the right to tell us what to do. Besides, where else do we put it? We have to put it somewhere."
Remember, that type of thinking is the same used about harvesting whales. Let the Japanese do this for another year and they will be saying "it's tradition!"
What about everyone else whose country borders on the Pacific Ocean?
"The release of contaminated water sparked concern among such countries as China, South Korea and Russia over the possible impact on marine life and the environment, with Seoul complaining that it had not been notified in advance."
Well the Japanese reporting agency "TEPCO" dismissed this:
"…its latest release of contaminated water could pose an immediate risk to health, saying the level of radiation a person would be exposed to by eating seafood caught in nearby waters every day for a year would amount to 0.6 millisievert, which is still lower than the annual exposure limit of 1 millisievert for ordinary people."
This is the same way that government officials played down the initial havoc caused by the recent earthquake with the Japanese Nuclear Reactors. In fact, it was not until recent pressures by noted nuclear physicists that Japanese officials finally admitted that the situation will not resolve for some time, upgraded the size of the actual earthquake, and increased the radioactive perimeter for human safety.
It is a mess, no doubt.
But the real insidious gesture, as the article states:
"TEPCO threw three sandbags each containing 100 kilograms of zeolite, a mineral that absorbs radioactive materials, into the sea near the plant on Friday to reduce the levels of contamination."
Well, that's nice. Three sandbags to handle 10,000 tons of contaminated sea water? The sandbags are supposed to gather radioactive material. Absorbing the radioactive material they become "seamines (landmines underwater)" due to the fact that the radioactive concentration increases hundreds if not thousand folds in each bag and now just sits on the surface of the ocean bottom.
Notice the article never even mentions collecting these sandbags. They are just going to leave them there.
And, well, if you don't see it, who cares?
And friends, it is not just limited to Japan. Currently unmarked US planes are flying over the Gulf pouring oil dispersant to hide the fact that the oil spill has not been handled.
It is unfortunate that so many people and creatures continue to be plagued and affected by a country who wants you to only obey and be a pawn in their game. We will all play into it unless something is done to stop the insanity.

The Landing Bar & Grill opening soon in Carolina Beach
Published: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 3:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 3:52 p.m.
The most striking evidence that Tangerine Caribbean Bar & Grill won't be returning from their seasonal break, I recently learned from my foodie colleague and Pleasure Island resident Judy Royal, is that their once distinctive orange hued building at 300 N. Lake Park Blvd. is now sporting a fresh coat of aquamarine paint.
Finishing touches are being done on the restaurant as The Landing Bar & Grill prepares to take over the spot. Chef Dwayne Page, who area diners may remember from Uptown Grill & BBQ, was testing recipes with owner Mandi Itsikzon Monday afternoon. Page says that while the new restaurant will have seafood dishes appropriate to its watery surrounds as well as barbecue similar to his last venture, The Landing will strive to present a more unique option for customers.
"We want people to feel comfortable with the seafood, but we're going to try and bring them what makes them feel good inside," said Page. "It's going to be an interactive food experience, were going to visit every country month-to-month. We're going to feature the food of Puerto Rico, Brazil, Japan."
Page said he's planning every step of the dining experience including the bar program, which will aim to present unique drinks that stay in line with the multi-cultural fare.
The Landing is projected to open three weeks from now, and will have a website and Facebook page coming online soon.

EngineServer, or McAfee Engine Server is a McAfee service, known for memory leaks (documented in KB59962 here and discussed here. It seems that the fix is installing a patch.
A workaround listed in the KB was to restart the service, however I tried using the task manager and services.msc, but it seems that access is denied (even though I am an admin). I think this is because security settings in McAfee. Any suggestion how to stop/restart it? Normally restarting the computer will work, but now I need to not restart the computer and I think the patch also need restarting in order to work ( I updated my McAfee but the memory is still high).
Any idea how to stop/restart this service to restore the memory?

David Trubridge, CCA's 2006 Wornick Distinguished Visiting Professor in Wood Arts: Less Is More
Posted on Saturday, October 14, 2006 by Jim Norrena
As a Wornick Distinguished Visiting Professor in Wood Arts, David Trubridge worked with graduate students in Fine Arts and with a group of undergraduate students enrolled in the Studio: Atelier course.
The challenge for the undergraduate students was to create a load-bearing furniture structure that was made from a skin of thin, repeated CNC-cut pieces. The structure gained its strength from the compound curvature of the shell, where all the pieces are in compression, as opposed to building with more conventional tension methods. Design used the minimum amount of material possible, and focused on sustainability and design for production.
About David Trubride
David Trubridge is a designer of international repute whose skills are built on his earlier wealth of craft knowledge.
He graduated as a naval architect from Newcastle University in Britain, but since then he has worked as a furniture designer and maker and as an architect. He settled in New Zealand after sailing there on a yacht with his family.
His design process combines innate craft knowledge, sculptural abstraction, and computer design technology, as it draws on his life's rich experiences. He is New Zealand's best-known furniture designer and regularly exhibits overseas in Japan, North America, and Europe.
In the last few years he has exhibited at 100% Design in London, four times at the Salone del Mobile in Milan, and twice at ICFF in New York. His Body Raft design is currently being manufactured by Cappellini, and two have been purchased by Philippe Starck. His design Raft was the only piece of furniture in the finals of the Japan Design Foundation's International Design Competition 2001, and was also selected for the International Design Yearbook (IDYB) 2002. Sling won Best Product of 2002 from the Designers Institute of New Zealand and was selected for the IDYB 2003.
Over recent years, his designs have been featured over 60 times in publications around the world, from Portugal to Lithuania, Ireland to Taiwan, including the influential Italian magazines Abitare, ddn, and Interni, plus Wallpaper, I.D., and the Financial Times. For two years in a row, Abitare picked one of his designs for its preview of the best things to see in the Milan Furniture Fair.
In New Zealand, he has set up his own manufacturing workshop and a design incubator for design graduates. These are part of a wood-processing cluster network of which he is a founding member. He has also designed a number of large-scale public sculptures and many masonry houses in the Hawkes Bay area.
He was one of the Antarctic Arts Fellows who was selected to go to Antarctica in the austral summer of 2004–5. This is leading to a new body of work with an environmentally conscious theme.
He has presented at conferences in Auckland, New Zealand; Adelaide and Perth, Australia; Edinburgh, Scotland; and Dongguan, China; and has given many public lectures around the world. He has run two Vitra Design Museum summer design courses in France and worked with students in Iceland on a project having to do with whaling.

CD31(+)CD45RA(+)RO(-) lymphocytes contain high numbers of T cell receptor circle (TREC)-bearing T cells; however, the correlation between CD31(+)CD4(+) lymphocytes and TREC during aging and under lymphopenic conditions has not yet been sufficiently investigated. We analyzed TREC, telomere length and telomerase activity within sorted CD31(+) and CD31(-) CD4(+) lymphocytes in healthy individuals from birth to old age. Sorted CD31(+)CD45RA(+)RO(-) naive CD4(+) lymphocytes contained high TREC numbers, whereas CD31(+)CD45RA(-)RO(+) cells (comprising < or =5% of CD4(+) cells during aging) did not contain TREC. CD31(+) overall CD4(+) cells remained TREC rich despite an age-related tenfold reduction from neonatal (100 : 1000) to old age (10 : 1000). Besides a high TREC content, CD31(+)CD45RA(+)RO(-)CD4(+) cells exhibited significantly longer telomeres and higher telomerase activity than CD31(-)CD45RA(+)RO(-)CD4(+) cells, suggesting that CD31(+)CD45RA(+)RO(-)CD4(+) cells represent a distinct population of naive T cells with particularly low replicative history. To analyze the value of CD31 in lymphopenic conditions, we investigated six children after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Reemerging overall CD4(+) as well as naive CD45RA(+)RO(-)CD4(+) cells predominantly expressed CD31 and correlated well with the recurrence of TREC 5-12 months after HSCT. Irrespective of limitations in the elderly, CD31 is an appropriate marker to monitor TREC-rich lymphocytes essentially in lymphopenic children after HSCT.

The Brent Fair is both traditional and historical, since it was on 20 December 1486 that Charles the First, Duke of Savoy, granted to this village on the slopes behind Montreux, the permanent privilege of organising a free and open fair. The tradition is still maintained today with various events, starting from the Saturday, with the opening of the cattle market competitions, when fairground entertainers and craftsmen with their rural products take over the streets of the village. Wednesday is the last official day, when the farmers reduce their prices. Various activities, such as tugs-of-war, exhibitions and children's events concludinh with the traditional school children's costume parade. The fair's menu (grilled sausages, meat balls and stews), awaits you under canvas and the cellars also welcome you with varied menus and tastings of the new wines. There is dancing for all ages. A convivial atmosphere is guaranteed.

PRESIDENT BUSH'S surprise visit to Baghdad for a face-to-face meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki was arrogant and presumptive. His unfortunate political gambit did anything but provide support for Iraq's embattled government.
Iraqis need to establish the legitimacy and
independence of their nation. When the American president jets
in, without even notifying the head of the nation, Iraq's
neighbors see this as evidence that Iraq has no legitimacy or
As long as Bechtel, Halliburton, and other transnational
corporations shut out Iraq, her people, her neighbors, and most of
our allies from participation in this reconstruction, our troops
will remain targets. The use of our troops as virtual
mercenaries for this corporate cartel is untenable,
counterproductive, and wrong-headed.
The sabotage carried out by former Ba'athists, Islamist fanatics,
Iraqi nationalists, and the families of civilians lost in this
war... will not end until the occupier leaves the country.
We cannot ignore history. This neo-con corporate colonialism
must end.
Presumably, Bush was saying Iraqis can trust his administration not to abandon them prematurely. But Iraqis have had to live with the chain of disasters traceable to an attitude Rumsfeld expressed when he responded to an ominous outbreak of postwar looting by saying glibly: ``Stuff happens."
What Bush should have told Maliki in private is that he will honor his obligation to help Iraqis cope with the Sunni Arab insurgency -- but not indefinitely. America cannot let Iraq become a safe haven for Al Qaeda, but nevertheless Iraqis must soon take the lead in waging and winning their war against insurgents who are overwhelmingly Iraqi.
...If Bush is serious about finding the
right policy balance for Iraq, he will order an end to petty and
divisive political tricks. There are Republicans who want to
withdraw now from Iraq and Democrats who are willing to stay until
the worst outcomes have been prevented. The fate of Iraq is too
important to America and the world to be determined by the dishonest
slogans of partisans.
