- Sensex falls 1.6% as strikes across LoC unnerve D-St
Mumbai: In a knee-jerk reaction to the news of Indian Army carrying out strikes against Pakistan-sponsored terrorist hideouts across the Line of Control in Kashmir, the sensex lost 1.6%, or 465 points, to close at 27,827, a one-month closing low. On the NSE, the nifty lost 1.8%, or 154 points at 8,591, as the selling on the day of derivatives expiry further aggravated the slide. As a result, investors were poorer by over Rs 2.3 lakh crore with BSE's market capitalisation now at Rs 109 lakh crore. In the government bond market, that witnessed a good rally in the last couple of months, investors, mainly PSU banks, sold heavily. It led to a slide in bond prices and firming up of yields. The benchmark yield on the 10-year gilts hardened from its Wednesday close at 6.76% to end at 6.88% per annum. Bond prices and gilts move in opposite directions. In the foreign exchange market, investors were cautious on the rupee with the Indian currency closing 39 paise weaker at 66.85 to a dollar. On the Dalal Street, soon after the news of a surgical strike by the Indian Army hit the headlines, nervous investors pressed the panic button to pull the sensex below the 28k mark for the first time in nearly a month, with the day's low at 27,720. Nifty, too, breached the psychologically important levels of 8,700 and 8,600 points to touch a low at 8,569. However, soon after there was some recovery. In the last hour of trading, there was renewed selling, pulling the sensex to close below 28k. According to dealers, cautious reaction to sensitive news is an expected phenomenon among investors in situations of uncertainty since they tend to remain in cash rather than hold any assets. However, they said with the government handling the situation very efficiently, the market has already made a temporary bottom. "Unless there is any negative development, the market should stabilise at the current level," said Deven Choksey, MD, KR Choksey Shares & Securities. In Thursday's market, of the 30 stocks that constitute the sensex, 29 closed in the red, with TCS the only gainer. Among the top laggards were Adani Ports, which closed 5% lower, and Sun Pharma and ICICI Bank, both of which were down 3.8%.On the BSE, foreign fund buying showed a Rs 3,413 crore net inflow. This was an aberration because On Thursday, Dutch financial major ING sold 4.67 crore shares of Kotak Bank, worth about Rs 3,600 crore, through block deals, out of which about 1.61 crore were bought by Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. Dealers said several other foreign funds bought Kotak Bank's shares from ING's block. During the day, domestic institutions, which includes government-owned LIC, net bought shares worth Rs 1,631 crore, which provided cushion to the market. Volatile session on Karachi bourse Mumbai: Following reports of India's surgical strikes, the Karachi Stock Exchange-100 index dived around 700 points in mid-session after opening at 40,861. It ended 150 points, or 0.4%, down after Pakistan denied the strikes. agencies

- PhD holders apply for SSC's clerical posts in West Bengal
KOLKATA: With limited job opportunities in the country, candidates with high educational backgrounds are seeking even clerical jobs. People with PhD and post graduate degrees have applied in large numbers in this year's School Service Commission's vacancies for Group D and clerical posts. The educational criteria for these jobs is education upto class 8. 27 lakh applications have been received so far by the SSC which has only 4,923 openings for D category and clerical posts. Former SSC Chairman Ranajit Basu said, 'Post graduates and PhD holders may apply but according to SSC terms, only the lowest qualifications are considered.' This implies that even with such advanced qualifications, these candidates are unlikely to get recruited to these posts and those with the required background will be preferred for the job. There are more than 12,000 secondary schools in West Bengal and the state's SSC had last recruited staff four year ago, for which advertisements were released in 2010. 11 lakh applications were received then for 9,000 posts.

- Tech varsity plans to keep PhD registration open round the year
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: After doing away with the concept of recognised research centres exclusively for candidates to pursue doctoral degree in engineering subjects, Kerala Technological University now plans to introduce round-the-year registration for PhD research. "Our primary objective is to improve the quality of research activities in engineering sector in the state. Now, candidates can register for PhD twice a year. Once the research activities under the university becomes stable in another couple of years, the KTU will keep the registration open round-the-clock," said KTU pro-vice-chancellor M Abdul Rahman. As per the research guidelines of the university, academic departments or constituent colleges of the university and affiliated colleges (where postgraduate programmes in engineering is successfully carried out for at least two batches) can offer doctoral programme. Apart from nine government and three aided engineering colleges in the state, eight self-financing engineering colleges - Rajagiri, Amal Jyothi, Toc H, Sree Budha, IBS Kasargodu, Model EKM, MES Kuttippuram and SCT Pappanamcode - have research facilities. Faculty members in the university departments /affiliated colleges with PhD degree, minimum two years' teaching/research experience and at least one post-PhD research publication in Science Citation Index (SCI) journals are eligible to supervise research work of a PhD candidate. A reputed scientist/academic with the same academic qualification and publication profile but without an affiliation may be also permitted along with a co- supervisor. As of now, there are 178 approved research guides under the KTU. This year when the second cycle of the PhD registration comes to a close, the university received over 500 applications for PhD research, of which 56 candidates have been shortlisted. The KTU gives Rs 25,000 as monthly grant to scholars for three years.Candidates with a master's degree in engineering/technology or research with a minimum of 65% marks or 6.5 CGPA are eligible for admission to the PhD program with the stipulation that admission to MTech should was based on a valid GATE score.
- Scientists use stem cells to grow 3D lung-in-a-dish
NEW YORK: A team of researchers has created three-dimensional lung "organoids" -- laboratory-grown lung-like tissue -- to study diseases, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The 3D dimensional drug has been created by coating tiny gel beads with lung-derived stem cells and allowing them to self-assemble into the shape of air sacs found in human lungs. "While we haven't built a fully functional lung, we have been able to take lung cells and place them in the correct geometrical spacing and pattern to mimic a human lung," said Brigitte Gomperts, Associate Professor, at the University of California, at Los Angeles in the US. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic lung disease characterised by scarring of the lungs. The scarring makes the lungs thick and stiff, which over time results in progressively worsening shortness of breath and lack of oxygen to the brain and vital organs. To study the effect of genetic mutations or drugs on lung cells, researchers have previously relied on two-dimensional cultures of the cells. But when they take cells from people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and grow them on these flat cultures, the cells appear healthy. Gomperts and her colleagues, in the study published in the journal Stem Cells Translational Medicine, started with stem cells created using cells from adult lungs. They used those cells to coat sticky hydrogel beads and then they partitioned these beads into small wells, each only seven millimetres across. Inside each well, the lung cells grew around the beads, which linked them and formed an evenly distributed three-dimensional pattern. To show that these tiny organoids mimicked the structure of actual lungs, the researchers compared the lab-grown tissues with real sections of human lung. "The technique is very simple. We can make thousands of reproducible pieces of tissue that resemble lung and contain patient-specific cells," said Dan Wilkinson, researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles. Moreover, when the researchers added certain molecular factors to the 3D cultures, the lungs developed scars similar to those seen in the lungs of people who have idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis -- something that could not be accomplished using two-dimensional cultures of these cells.

Goodbye cardboard cutouts, hello 3D printing. The model-making technology that allows anyone to create anything, has finally made it to Indian classrooms. The elite variety, of course, since though the prices of 3D printers have fallen – most now start at around Rs 1 lakh — they're still not for your average school.

Are you suffering from anger management issues? Explosive temper? Violence as a first resort?
You've got nothing on the big green freak that goes by the name of Hulk.
In The Incredible Hulk - the second studio spectacle featuring the Marvel Comics' super-antihero in the last five years - Edward Norton plays Bruce Banner, a nice-guy scientist tainted by gamma rays that turn him into an un-jolly green giant whenever his pulse rate goes kablooie.
Directed by the nimble French action director Louis Leterrier (The Transporter), from a script credited to Zak Penn (but with reported rewrites from the famously hands-on Norton), The Incredible Hulk starts great, but finishes in noisy, effects-heavy waves of tedium.

Other woman has quit her job because the child support amount is quite enough to cover all her expenses with she not workng. husband and wife are working day and night to support the existng family. The court says this is how she is taking care of her 6 year old. so we are supporting BOTH of them 100% financially.
2)the OW has also given the illeg. child, husband's last name.
what can be done for above 2 situations? doesn't the other woman have some financial responsibility of supporting herself and the chilld while both husband and wife are tiring day and night to meet the expenses cuz they have to pay such huge amount? How can she live off child support and not work at all for 18 years? It is clear that she is using the left CS money on herself instead of saving it for the child's future

Child Support Lawyer
Regretfully, there is no accounting rule for child support in Illinois. What's done is done, and all the more reason to have an attorney during the initial support proceedings to ensure you aren't taken to the cleaners and/or to ensure if it's a guideline order, that the percentiles/deductions are being properly accounted for.
Divorce / Separation Lawyer
Unfortunately, it happens that child support is used for more than support of a child. The way the law is presently written (hopefully to change soon) there is little that can be done about it. If the father is paying too much, then he should return to court to seek a reduction. The father needs a lawyer to best guide him through the process.
Divorce / Separation Lawyer
You MAY have an argument here. You could possibly put together a two-pronged attack: 1) the child has a right to receive support from BOTH parents (not equally, of course, but from both parents); and 2) the amount of support is so great it creates a windfall for the mother (and that can be corrected).
I'm skeptical of your fact pattern, however. I doubt she's able to live independently solely off some luxurious child support award. From what you post I imagine Lovey Howell sauntering around her mansion in a silk housecoat smoking imported cigarettes with European nannies tending to the baby. In reality, there are probably other factors; like, she's a student and has some financial aid; she's living with her parents or other family members; she's worked for a while, has some savings, and can afford to take a little time off to be with the baby; she has other wealth from which to draw.
Whatever the case, you'll be hard-pressed to prevail on the above one-two-punch. It's possible, but not easy.
As for the name; he's the father, why shouldn't his child have his last name?
Finally, you can obtain a support order for your children so that money comes out of your husband's paycheck first. That will reduce his "net income" and will reduce the child support paid to the OW. This should have been done when he was in court on the support order. Was it? You can still take action, if not.
Questions? Call: 312-987-9999 -- no charge, no obligation.
Elder Law Attorney
Child support should be based on your husband's net income alone, not your income combined with your husband's income.
The unfortunate part of this is that you will need to go to court to change the child support. You would have to prove your husband is paying significantly more than the statutory guideline support based on his net income (alone) and argue that she has an equal responsibility to financially support the child. Since the child is 6 years old and in school at least part of the time (I assume), there is no reason the other woman cannot get a job.
Additionally, you cannot control how the other woman spends the child support she receives, even if it does provide a windfall for her. There is nothing in the law that allows you to do so.

We read the recent article by Cree et al1 with great interest. The authors present a case of a 33-year-old woman previously treated with immunosuppressive agents for Henoch-Schönlein purpura. Progressive development of initially flulike symptoms to severe neurological impairment with lethargy, cogwheeling, increased limb tone, and brisk reflexes was diagnosed as coxsackievirus B4 meningoencephalitis. Experimental therapy with the antiviral agent pleconaril was ineffective. Magnetic resonance imaging showed focal hyperintense lesions in the brainstem that correlated with pathologic findings seen at autopsy after fatal central nervous system infection and myocarditis.
A T2-weighted (fluid-attenuated inversion recovery) axial magnetic resonance imaging scan demonstrating bilateral, symmetric increased signal intensity within the brainstem.

Chikungunya fever, the latest virus to be carried by mosquitoes, is turning up in South Carolina, just as health officials predicted.
The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control on Friday confirmed the first case of chikungunya virus this year in a South Carolina resident, an Upstate resident who recently returned from Haiti. The virus, considered to be from Africa or Asia, has been turning up on Caribbean islands. So far the virus has only been identified in the United States in individuals who recently traveled internationally, according to DHEC.
Symptoms are similar to those of dengue fever and include fever, headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, muscle pain, rash, and joint pain. They last a few days to a few weeks.
"People who are traveling to areas where mosquito-borne viruses have been identified should take extra precautions to prevent mosquito bites," said Dr. Linda Bell, state epidemiologist with DHEC. Anyone who has recently been to the Caribbean and believes they have been infected should contact their health care provider and stay indoors for at least seven days to avoid spreading the virus to South Carolina mosquitoes, she said. For more information about chikungunya virus, go to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, cdc.gov/chikungunya/.

The Money Talk
23September 2015
The interviews went well; you like the applicant – he seems to have been born for the job. Now there comes a point in the application process where you are going to tell him how much you actually like him – through the numbers of his proposed salary. If the prospective employee is happy with that, there is nothing else to do but shake hands and show him to his new office.
But what if the applicant has a different idea of what he's worth, and the number you offer make him feel undervalued? The hiring manager doesn't want to go overboard on the salary; the applicant would like more but is afraid of letting the job slip through his fingers.
Salary negotiation can be a touchy subject for any job candidate. They would like to be paid what they feel is fair, yet don't want to appear greedy. Settlling for less could hang like a heavy shadow in the new employee's mind. In my article on PsychologyToday.com I tell job seekers not to shy away from this delicate matter, and list 23 tips on negotiating a higher salary counteroffer in such a way that both the applicant and the employer are happy.
On the manager's side, you need to strike a balance between saving money and being fair. Fully understanding your candidate's value on the job market and bringing it up during salary negotiation will help you strike that balance – while making the new employee feeling appreciated. "Money talk" also gives you a chance to observe your counterpart's negotiating skills and diplomacy in a delicate situation. For more detail, read the complete article.
Mitigate Mid-Management Tyrant Behavior
14October 2013
Tyrannical bosses can do a lot of damage in organizations. In particular, there are two types of bad bosses I hear the most about in the workplace – bullying and overly demanding. Both types can make subordinates fearful. When people are in a protective mode, it interferes with the company's ability to generate innovation. As a senior manager, you must take action when you see these behaviors or "TOTs" running amok in your organization.
As I describe in the Forbes article How to Deal With a Bullying Boss, there are many types of bullying bosses. They can run the gambit from the covert, fear-provoking bully to those who throw tirades and intimidate employees continuously. You may see him as a high performer — as is the overly demanding boss — but your clue that something is wrong with his management style is too much employee turnover.
As I point out in the article, "Bullying in the workplace is similar to the school playground in that people are being demeaned or exploited. But in the office, bullying is far more subversive and challenging to overcome. These grown bullies are adept at finding non-assertive victims and staying under the radar." There are 10 tips on how to handle a bullying boss plus an interesting list from the Workplace Bullying Institute of the 25 most common tactics adopted by bullies. Take a look at the article and then examine employee morale.
An overly demanding boss — one who sets unrealistic or extremely high standards — can make employees feel as if they work constantly under the gun. In 10 Tips For Dealing With An Overly Demanding Boss, I explain to Forbes readers how an overly demanding boss doesn't empathize or understand what's required of his staff to deliver results, and he will keep pushing them until they take action — which as a senior manager, you want to avoid. The easy path for senior management is to think: "It will work itself out" — but it rarely does.
Boosting Productivity
Besides mitigating TOT behavior, as I explain in 14 Things You Should Do at the Start of Every Work Day (Forbes) "Having a good start to the day where you have greater control is critical in achieving better results, and ultimately greater career [and organizational] success." How you end the day is equally critical, as it has much to do with how you start the next day. In 16 Things You Should Do At The End Of Every Work Day (Forbes) I mention: "It's half of the puzzle of being productive. Both pieces are like bookends that carry extra weight relative to what happens in between. They're like first and last impressions that hold tremendous impact on your view of your work, attitude and productivity level."
Both articles on starting and ending your day will help you take charge of the situation no matter what garden variety of office tyrant you must manage in your workplace.
A Self-Centered Boss: Burden To The Team?
7February 2012
So, you are doing great, you say. Terrific, now what about your unit, group, subdivision, department – the people who need your leadership? Take a careful look: do you pay enough attention to their needs and problems? It's natural to be proud of one's achievements – the results of your hard work and administrative talent. Yet, you are not alone; you need those people around you to get the job done. Be sure not to make it all about yourself – appearing self-centered in the eyes of your co-workers can hurt feelings, cause withdrawal and inertia and lead to loss of productivity, damaging your team's performance and, by extension, your own career.
In my recent article for Psychology Today I offer employees tips on how to stand up for themselves (diplomatically) when they feel neglected by a preoccupied manager – four ways to manage up and save one's job satisfaction and success. Be sure to read it so you see the potential problem from your team's perspective.
TOT-taming for Beleaguered Office Workers
6November 2011
If you're a senior manager or in Human Resources, you know that Terrible Office Tyrants (TOTs) wreak havoc in your business. You want to mitigate the behavior as much as possible. You also want to ensure that your staff is TOT-free.
TOT-taming is reaching out to more beleaguered office workers this month with articles appearing in Forbes, CBS/MoneyWatch and Media Bistro. Forbes highlighted Seven Ways to Tame an Office Tyrant — don't let them see you sweat, listen actively, be a role model, be a problem solver, harness strengths and weaknesses, use humor and show empathy. Of course, in my book, there are many more tips. Check them out!
At CBS/MoneyWatch you'll find suggestions on what to do When Your Boss Acts like a Toddler, which included my favorite acronym: CALM—Communicate, Anticipate, Laugh and Manage. Communicate with your boss openly, honestly and frequently. Anticipate problems before they become larger problems and have solutions ready. Levity helps break tension, diffuses issues and punch through barriers. Managing up doesn't mean kissing up. It means speaking the truth and setting expectations with your boss.
In Media Bistro's Dealing with the Terrible Office Tyrant (TOT) I told public relations professionals that the onus was on them to spot a TOT and put some real teeth behind that great PR reputation. With some behind the scenes TOT-taming they can increase those moments of agency euphoria.
Try some TOT-taming techniques in November, as the holidays and a short month create a fertile environment for more stress!

After a job interview, you need to follow up to stay visible—without becoming a pest. I discuss this issue in my new Business Week article and offer my perspective on how to find a perfect balance based on a number of factors.
I start with an example from my personal experience – of two excellent and equally qualified candidates competing for the same job. One was virtually silent after the interview and thank-you e-mail. The other one sent the thank-you and also checked in about every 10 days with interesting links and industry information. Eventually I had to go with my gut: Since Candidate B went out of his way to demonstrate his interest for the job, I selected him. He remained part of my team for years until he had to relocate for personal reasons.
So Candidate A lost out in large part because he failed to follow up with enthusiasm. But over the course of my career, I've also had to exclude candidates from the running because they made pests of themselves after the interview.
It is obvious that candidates who can manage just the right amount of contact are the ones most likely to succeed. So how do you know what the right amount of follow-up is? Every other week is a good general rule, especially if you're getting a positive response from the interviewer. But every situation is different, and there is a number of things to be factored in. For the complete picture, read more on BusinessWeek.com.
Job Interview: A Card Game?
5February 2011
Often a job interview is like playing poker. Both sides are like careful players, deciding how much to reveal, how much to conceal, or when to call for all cards on the table. If the job seeker doesn't play his hand right he may loose the opportunity, no matter how well he's qualified. If the interviewer can't "read" the opponent properly, he may end up giving the job to the wrong person. And what to do if your counterpart has the world's best poker face?
In my recent article on PsychologyToday.com I offer job hunters some advice on how to excel at "job interview poker." I think it's a useful read for hiring managers as well. A position is only filled properly when both the employee and the employer attempt to be as forthcoming as possible. Granted, a hiring manager certainly may not know if the candidate going to make the cut until the process runs its course. And there are often other decision-makers. But if the match is not even close, managers should be careful not to set unrealistic high expectations at the very least. Read on for an employee's perspective of the job interview "poker game."
Landing a Survival Job
21January 2011
Today many people are forced to look for jobs below their qualifications. In the current tough economic climate even "settling for less" often presents a challenge and needs to be done right. What advice would you give to candidates seeking "survival jobs" – or use yourself in a tough situation?
Megan Malugani, a contributing writer for Monster.com, quotes opinions from a number of workplace experts (including yours truly) in her recent article: "A survival job should be something you enjoy," says Lynn Taylor, a workplace expert who is CEO of Santa Monica, California-based Lynn Taylor Consulting and author of Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant. "Your likelihood of landing even a survival job is greater if you demonstrate genuine enthusiasm, so don't waste anyone's time with a job you dislike from the start."
You'd also need to tone down your resume to avoid being perceived as overqualified. Focus your resume and the interview on the actual job at hand.
Above all, stay positive and remember that any experience is an opportunity to learn.

Holiday Season Separation Anxiety
14December 2010
With the holiday season upon us, most folks are planning to take some time off work. But the economy doesn't take breaks, and many managers may feel reluctant to relinquish control of their team, even when it's their well-deserved vacation. Fear is a big driver, and when bosses – like kids – don't have control, such as with matters of a vacation from work, a "terrible office tyrant" or "TOT" can emerge.
A needy boss wants constant assurance that the employees will take care of all needs and deadlines, holiday or not. Some 'TOTs' at the helm may be taking shorter vacations themselves, particularly at smaller companies, which can put additional pressure on employees hoping for a peaceful holiday break.
Holidays is the time to relax and recharge, and your employees will be thankful if you let them do it without feeling guilty. Read more on the issue in my recent article for PsychologyToday.com.
Survey: Boss Behavior Causes Rampant Worrying
15January 2010
Workplace Expert, Author, Provides Career Tips for 2010 and Beyond
SANTA MONICA (January 13, 2010) — According to a new survey released today by national workplace expert Lynn Taylor, author of Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant –TOT (John Wiley & Sons), U.S. employees spend 19.2 hours a week (13 hours during the work week and 6.2 hours on the weekend) worrying about "what a boss says or does."
The national study was conducted by an independent global research firm and commissioned by Taylor's firm, Lynn Taylor Consulting, which offers workshops on how to humanize the workplace for increased productivity and profitability.
Taylor said, "The study illustrates the tremendous drain that a manager's words and actions can have on the minds and work product of its most valued asset – people – at a time when companies can least afford the loss. Particularly during this period of high unemployment, bad boss behavior can go into overdrive – distracting employees from the work at hand."
"Conversely, the survey suggests that greater interpersonal sensitivity can significantly boost morale and help a company thrive," Taylor said. She advises managers to go the extra mile by showing interest in the team's well-being. "Employees' careers are not on hold, even if major corporate initiatives are," she added. Taylor said that spillover anxiety on weekends of 3.1 hours a day further underscores how critical the boss/employee dynamic truly is.
"Employees should take the initiative in 2010 to build their own human relations skills," Taylor said. She added, "Tackle issues early on with diplomacy and deploy good 'parenting skills' in the office – without patronizing. Use positive and negative reinforcement; provide positive role modeling; humor; and set limits to unreasonable demands with tact, showing the benefits of an alternative compromise."
The U.S. study was based on telephone interviews conducted with 1,000 respondents 18 years of age or older. For more information, visit www.LynnTaylorConsulting.com and www.TameYourTOT.com or call 1-800-454-0083.

Make 2010 Bad Boss-Free in Your Company
14December 2009
If you run a company or department, or are an HR professional, the thought has probably crossed your mind: how can you boost morale in 2010 after a tumultuous year? I can offer at least one solution. TOT proof your company, and make it safe for success.
Yes…aim to tame the Terrible Office Tyrant (TOT) behavior that lurks in your offices, reducing it at times to a corporate playpen, rife with sandbox politics. Toddler behavior in the boardroom (tantrums, demanding, stubborn and self-centered behavior) costs you. These are some of the 20 traits in my book that many business leaders consider required reading for their managers.
I can also address the topic at greater length in a lively speech for companies and organizations. A preview is available at various sites: LT Speaker clip site, Lynn Taylor Consulting and very soon on YouTube with keywords Lynn Taylor, Author, Speaker, TOTs. You can also contact: 1-800-454-0083.
2010 must be the year of "what's in it for us," not "what's in it for me," if our economy and businesses are to rebound. P.S. a surprising new sector can help you ratchet down tension with their years of wisdom and corporate savvy. See more on "Gen U"as I call them – Generation Unretired (featured in BusinessWeek) – and read why, at the TameYourTOT.com blog and at another website of Lynn Taylor Consulting's: www.GenerationUworkforce.com.
Finally, let's hope that these boss antics are not happening under your nose, but for the sake of levity during the holiday and some helpful awareness, here's what some some employees reported recently in a national survey, not unlike that shown in an existing, similar YouTube clip!


text:
Sonja Kohn looks an unlikely villain — if she is one, that is. A strictly Orthodox mother-of-five and grandmother of 24, she is the daughter of Holocaust refugees and is unmissable in her bright, bouffant sheitel.
Bernie Madoff, the billion-dollar fraudster who will spend the rest of his life in prison after a 150-year sentence has been refused the chance to serve in a 'Jewish jail'.
His lawyer has asked the judge to recommend he serve his term in the medium-security Otisville Correctional Institute, which has an unusually high percentage of Jewish inmates, but the request was refused.
The wife of convicted fraudster Bernard Madoff's says she feels "betrayed and confused" by the actions of her husband.
Ruth Madoff has said, in her first public statement: "I am breaking my silence now, because my reluctance to speak has been interpreted as indifference or lack of sympathy for the victims of my husband Bernie's crime, which is exactly the opposite of the truth.
Fraudster Bernie Madoff has been sentenced to 150 years in prison by a court in New York, the maximum the judge could impose.
Several hundred spectators arrived at federal court in New York to witness 71-year-old Madoff's sentencing for a multi-billion dollar fraud scheme.
Madoff's legal team had previously requested a 12-year sentence.
He pleaded guilty in March to a stream of offences including fraud, money laundering and perjury which amounted to almost $50 billion of investment fraud.
A Jewish businessman has been accused of masterminding South Africa's largest ever corporate fraud, scamming 400 investors out of some £730 million in a giant pyramid scheme.
Barry Tannenbaum, 43, allegedly promised investors returns of up to 200 per cent from his company, Frankel Chemicals. He told them he was importing raw materials for the manufacture of HIV drugs by some of South Africa's pharmaceutical giants, including Adcock Ingram, founded by his grandfather, Hymie. Forged documents were reportedly used to persuade investors that their money was secure.
The credit crunch, financial crisis and ensuing global recession have provided an opportunity for the rebirth of some unfortunate antisemitic stereotypes. Jews have played a prominent role in the current crisis, and not just as perpetrators but as problem solvers and victims too.
Disgraced financier Bernard Madoff has pleaded guilty to all 11 charges in connection with a multi-billion dollar investment fraud.
He arrived at a New York courthouse this morning wearing a bullef-proof vest and is expected to be sentenced to a 150-year jail term on June 16.
Madoff, 70, was charged with four counts of fraud, three counts of money laundering, making false statements, perjury, making a false filing to the US financial watchdog, and theft from an employee benefit plan.
The Bernard Madoff investment scandal is expected to cost the Jewish charity world well over a billion dollars. But UK charities are likely to escape relatively unscathed from immediate losses.
Avraham Infeld, president of the Chais Family Foundation in Jerusalem, which has announced it is closing down after losing all its assets, said: "$600 million has disappeared overnight from the Jewish world."
The last year has been appalling for individuals and charities seeking to hang on to their hard-earned savings and precious endowments.
Sharply lower equity prices, collapsing residential and property values, shrinking pension and trust funds and falling interest rates (UK rates could well be down to near zero by spring 2009) have made it all but impossible for investors to keep their money intact.

Henshaw Commends Remarkable Safety Record
CHICAGO -- The top official of the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) today praised the E&E Manufacturing Company, Inc., Plymouth, Mich., as one of the most effective employers in the nation in protecting workers by joining with state officials in welcoming the plant into the prestigious Star category of Michigan's Voluntary Protection Program (MVPP).
"VPP is a roadmap to safety and health excellence, and we know that companies in VPP have injury and illness rates more than 50 percent below the averages for their industries," according to Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health John Henshaw. "E & E is now proudly joining the ranks of VPP companies that go beyond OSHA requirements by making safety and health an integral part of their company culture." Henshaw presented the Star Award to company President and Owner Wes Smith today at ceremonies at the plant.
The Michigan company employs well over 200 workers in manufacturing heavy gage stampings, weldnuts, deep drawn extruded stampings, tapping plates, serrated shims and automotive seating component assemblies.
The MVPP recognizes and promotes effective workplace safety and health management. In the program, management, labor and Michigan OSHA (MIOSHA) establish a cooperative relationship at a worksite that has implemented strong safety and health systems. Star participants, which meet all MVPP requirements, are at the top of the program's recognition ladder. MIOSHA will not target a MVPP-approved worksite for any regularly scheduled programmed inspections, although the site must continue to abide by all MIOSHA safety and health standards, and the agency will respond to workers' complaints and serious accidents.
MVPP participating-businesses experience fewer employee injuries and illnesses, reduced workers' compensation costs, improved productivity, improved employee morale, and recognition in the community. In addition, safety and health management systems at these sites are further improved over time through the internal and external reviews that are part of the program's ongoing requirements.
In fiscal year 2003, OSHA conducted almost 40,000 inspections, an increase of more than 2000 inspections over 2002 levels; more than half focused on high-hazard industries. For more information, visit www.osha.gov. The Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration is dedicated to saving lives, preventing injuries and illnesses and protecting the health and safety of America's workers.

The authors1 of the second American review on the present status of knowledge of rheumatism and arthritis, prepared at the request of the American Committee for the Control of Rheumatism, point out that "rheumatism" was not considered to be a problem until, about twenty years ago, research in the field disclosed that a problem existed. Certainly it presents a social and economic problem as well as a medical one. Rheumatism, judging its incidence from the proportion of the population that actually complains of its symptoms, is twelve times as prevalent as cancer and one fortieth as fatal. The morbidity is 10 per cent among all persons who have passed the age of 40 years. The disease is more frequent among outdoor than among indoor workers, more prevalent in rural than in urban communities and twice as frequent among the poor as among the well-to-do.

Transform Methods and Image Compression
This article has its origins in a data compression course we've been developing over the past few years at Auburn University. The course is elementary and begins with the basic (text) compression methods of Shannon and Huffman. Some of these methods can be appreciated with pencil-and-paper examples; others, such as images to be modified by compression, need some machine experimentation.
Students may choose to present a project as part of their course evaluation. We've seen various projects, including an amusing example of Huffman-on-a-hand-calculator, an overview presentation of PNG (Portable Network Graphics) and a project concerning smoothing in JPEG.
We will introduce the transform techniques of JPEG and wavelets, discuss some mathematical themes shared by these methods, and illustrate the use of a high-level linear algebra package in understanding such schemes. The images were generated using Octave and Matlab, primarily on GNU/Linux (x86) and Solaris (SPARC), but also on a Macintosh.
Data compression methods with zero information loss have been used on image data for some time. In fact, the popular GIF format uses an LZW scheme (the basic method used in UNIX compress) to compress 256-color images. PNG is more sophisticated and capable, using a predictor (or filter) to prepare the data for a gzip-style compressor. (Greg Roelofs has an introduction to PNG and some notes on patent questions concerning GIF [see Resources 8].) However, applications using high-resolution images with thousands of colors may require more compression than can be achieved with these lossless methods.
Lossy schemes discard some of the data in order to obtain better compression. The problem, of course, is deciding just which information is to be compromised. Loss of information in compressing text is typically unacceptable, although simple schemes such as elimination of every vowel from English text may find application somewhere. The situation is different with images and sound; in those cases, some loss of data may be quite acceptable, even imperceptible.
In the 1980s, the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) was formed to develop standards for still-image compression. The specification includes both lossless and lossy modes, although the latter is perhaps of the most interest (and is usually what is meant by "JPEG compression"). G. K. Wallace has a paper (see Resources 10) discussing the standard in some detail.
The method in lossy JPEG depends on an important mathematical and physical theme for its compression: local approximation. The JPEG group took this idea and fine-tuned it with results gained from studies on the human visual system. The resulting scheme enjoys wide use, in part because it is an open standard but mostly because it does well on a large class of images, with fairly modest resource requirements.
JPEG and wavelet schemes fall under the general category of transform methods. The development of wavelet techniques has taken place more recently than the classical method in JPEG, and is a consequence of the never-ending search for "better" basic images.
Roughly speaking, the first step in lossy compression schemes like JPEG and wavelets is to break down an image into a weighted sequence of simpler, more basic images. At this stage, the image may be reconstructed exactly from knowledge of the basic images and their corresponding weights. The effectiveness of the method depends to a great extent on the choice of the basic images. Once a set of basic images, or basis, has been chosen, arbitrary images can be replaced by equivalent collections of weights. A basic image having a correspondingly large weight is an indication of its characteristic importance in the overall image. (The assumption here is that the basis images have been normalized, so that they have the same mathematical size.)
The mathematics behind this process is expressed in the language of linear algebra. There is considerable mathematical freedom in the choice of basis images; however, in practice they are usually chosen to exhibit features intrinsic to the class of images of interest. For example, JPEG chooses basic images designed to reflect certain classical spatial frequencies.
The process of using a basis to resolve an image into a collection of weights is called a transform. To simplify things, we'll consider gray-scale images (color is discussed briefly in the conclusion), which can be represented as mxn arrays of integers. The range of values isn't important in understanding the mathematical ideas, although it is common to restrict values to the interval [0,255], giving a total of 256 levels of gray. As an example, Figure 3(a) shows an image containing 256x256 pixels with 145 shades of gray represented.
Mathematically, any basis for the space of mxn gray-scale images must contain exactly mn images—the number of pixels in an mxn image. Consequently, the transform of an mxn image will have mn weights. The weights can be conveniently arranged into an mxn array called the transformed image even though it isn't a true image at all.
The transformation process, in itself, is certainly not a compression technique (since the transformed image is the same size as the original), but it can lead to one. Suppose the basis images can be chosen so that, for a wide class of images, many of the weights turn out to be small: for a given image, set these small weights to zero and use the resulting array of modified weights to represent it. Since the transform of the image has been modified, it can be used only to approximate the original. How good is the approximation? That depends on how good the scheme is for throwing out nonzero weights, that is, on the appropriateness of the basis elements and the number of weights which can be discarded. JPEG and wavelet methods both employ this type of process and offer significant compression benefits, often with minimal impact on the quality of the reproduction. They differ in the choice of basis images, i.e., in the transform used, and subsequently in the method used to discard small weights. However, both share the idea of picking a basis that can efficiently represent an image, often using only a small number of its basic images.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Secret Cat Needs Your Help
Santa Rosa's experimental noise rockers Secret Cat make some of the most head-spinning, mind-altering rock and roll music in the North Bay, taking cues from Zappa, early 'Discord' bands and dystopian robot romance novels. The band just wrapped recording their latest batch of garage rock with a twist, Smiling Songs, and released it online last week. Now, the cats are looking to take their tunes on the road with a tour, and they need your help.
The band, which consists of Ian Shoop(vocals, guitar), Melati Citrawireja(bass), Emile Rosewater(drums) and Charlie Davenport(guitar), have a Kickstarter page for the occasion; and though generous donations have already streamed in, there are several special rewards for anyone still looking to donate, from handmade art to photo studio sessions with Citrawireja and more.
For this tour, Secret Cat is also bringing a new visual element to the live show in the form of a live mask and puppet performance developed with the help of Quenby Dolgushkin, and the band is hoping to traverse the Pacific Northwest freaking out unsuspecting audiences along the way. Today is the last day to donate, so head over to their page now and click the button.

Live Review: Amanda Palmer at Public Works, San Francisco
Amanda Palmer is a dark traditionalist. Staying close to the inherent "rock" values of authenticity and performance, her song writing is ingenious. Filled with melancholy playfulness and longing for human understanding, her music seamlessly shifts between genres. Happier songs are laced with synth pop and air pianos, somber ballads combine orchestras with horns and ukuleles. Most notably, Palmer's performances always captivate the energy of the audience. With as much taking as she is receiving, Amanda's intensity translates into exceptional stage presence.
On this occasion, a private audience of Kickstarter campaign donators and selected invitees joined fans from the press to take part in Palmer's current six-city international tour. Stopping in Berlin, London and New York the circuit is promoting her new album "Theatre Is Evil", out September 2012 on 8ft Records. The album has sold nearly 25,000 pre-order copies via the digital funding platform. With a sold-out show the following night, Thursday's attendees experienced the exhibit in rare intimate format.
The art space at Public Works is a long, winding closet of a gallery. Stemming off the side of the two-story warehouse on the eastern edge of San Francisco's Mission District, the venue has become the dernier cri for contemporary art and performance.

A comfortable village pub 15 minutes drive from the centre of York - and five minutes from the Park and Ride.
A warm welcome and excellent customer service throughout. Food very good - both dinner and breakfast. The pub itself has plenty of character, though not the place to stay for far-reaching views. The one niggle was some recent but not very high quality recent redecorations in the bedroom and bathroom - this left a bed adjacent to a radiator, and a few minor problems that need sorting in the shower room. But, all in all, a comfortable and relaxing stay.

We stayed for a weekend to visit York, the accommodation was nice and clean, plenty of extra blankets if needed, the staff where great and would do anything to help.
We ate in the restaurant and really enjoyed the menu and the food, breakfast was very good too. It is just a few miles from York park and ride, which is situated at the designer retail outlet, so you can do both in one trip. defiantly recommend, staying here.

Stayed 1 night, room was comfy and warm.
The hotel/pub is quaint and, I guess, very old, that added to the charm. Can't comment on the breakfast as we had to be up very early. But evening meal was top class, very tasty, original recipes. Good range of ales to try. Some slight damp/mould on the wall and bathroom ceiling, but not too much of a problem. Hotel about 8 miles from York, easy to get into town, close to park & ride at the outlet centre.

Black Bull Inn
Friendly staff.
Room was always nicely heated. Good evening meals and good breakfast. Good value. Only negative. Dated decor and furniture, rather than antique as perhaps suggested. Worth extra £10 per night for room size for the 4 poster bedroom rather than standard room, though bed itself not worth the extra. Being about 4 miles from York, not quite a city break but not quite country retreat either, being situated within a village, something in between. Generally, a very comfortable pub to stay in.

Friendly Staff
The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the food was delicious.
The room itself was clean and tidy and fir for purpose.

Second Stay
This is the second time I have stopped at the black bull and again I felt welcomed by the staff.
The food was lovely and of a good quality. The room I stopped in this time was larger and had a more modern feel, my only real complaint was that it was cold. However, the temperature had dropped suddenly and the heating may not have been adjusted to reflect this. I would recommend this hotel to anyone planning a short break away.

BOSTON -- Paul Pierce kept Boston in the game with his scoring, but it was his pass that allowed the Celtics to earn their first victory of the season.
Delonte West made a jumper at the overtime buzzer on a pass from Pierce to lift Boston over the Charlotte Bobcats 110-108 Wednesday night.
"It was the easiest shot I had all night," said West, who had missed seven of his previous nine shots. "That was a gimme. I had to hit that."
Pierce drove the lane with time winding down and kicked the ball to a wide-open West, who knocked down a 20-footer.
"In past years I would have maybe taken a bad shot or tried to go through people," Pierce said. "Once I saw they collapsed on me, I needed to trust my teammates. That is what better players in this league do."
Pierce and Wally Szczerbiak each scored 35 points and Ryan Gomes added his first career triple-double as the Celtics kept the Bobcats winless in Boston.
Gomes had 10 points, 12 rebounds and a career-high 10 assists for the Celtics.
"I don't even think I had a triple-double at Providence, maybe in high school," Gomes said.
Brevin Knight, who finished with 22 points, missed a jumper with 7.6 seconds left in overtime for the Bobcats, who are 0-5 in Boston.
"When a great player makes the correct play, and another good player knocks down the shot, you tip your hat and move on," Knight said.
Gerald Wallace tied it at 100-all with 10.5 seconds left in regulation after Sean May's shot was blocked by Theo Ratliff and on his second rebound, Wallace laid it in.
Pierce's 18-foot jumper as regulation time expired clanked off the side of the rim.
Emeka Okafor continued his strong comeback after playing in only 26 games last season with 28 points and a career-high 18 rebounds.
"You can sing the whole song about how we fought, but we want the win," Okafor said. "We've done this enough times."
Boston overcame 25 turnovers to avoid starting the season 0-4 for the first time since 1969-70.
Pierce grabbed 13 rebounds, but had a Celtics' franchise-record 12 turnovers.
Szczerbiak scored 20 points in the third quarter on 6-of-7 shooting, including four 3-pointers, as the Celtics outscored Charlotte 37-25 to take an 82-74 lead after three. He had 33 points in Boston's last game against Washington.
Othella Harrington's fallaway jumper capped a 13-5 run and tied it for Charlotte at 87-87 with 5:16 remaining.
Boston trailed 24-17 after the first quarter while shooting 7-of-23 from the field with eight turnovers.
The last four games between the Celtics and Bobcats have been decided by three points or less.
- Celtics forward Al Jefferson is expected to miss at least two weeks after having his appendix removed.
- Raymond Felton left the game with a strained back and did not return for the Bobcats.
- Cedric Maxwell had the previous Celtics record with 11 turnovers in 1978 when they began keeping the statistic. Szczerbiak had a career-high 22 points in a quarter in 2003.
- Boston used its fourth starting lineup in four games.

IT'S EITHER one of the greatest things to happen to the city in years or the scourge that will destroy us all. All depends on whom you talk with.
SugarHouse Casino will officially open its doors on the Delaware waterfront today, straddling the border of Fishtown and Northern Liberties and beginning the era of legalized gambling in Philadelphia.
Casino supporters say the gaming hall will be an economic engine that will revitalize the city. Opponents say introducing gambling into depressed neighborhoods is like putting a match to dried tinder, enflaming existing problems people may have with money, relationships and jobs.
