Holiday Seasons
We live under the sway of artists who haunt our lives, who take hold at an early age and never let go; they inform us of our progress in the world as our perceptions of them change. Faulkner once said that Don Quixote had to be read three times, in childhood, adulthood and old age, because it is really three books and aspects of it are available only in stages. Over time, we bring more connections to works of art-connections that belong to us, not necessarily the work or the artist. In a world remade by Alfred Hitchcock, for example, it may be impossible to read Dickens' Hard Times without noting that the Sleary circus is a blueprint for the carnival in Saboteur; that Mrs. Sparsit is a template for Mrs. Danvers in Rebecca; that the Devil's creed, "a charming Italian motto: What will be, will be," was very differently interpreted by Doris Day in The Man Who Knew Too Much.
These juxtapositions are no less true of music. As long as we're alive to it, music is a living thing, changing and growing as we do. When I started writing, an established music critic told me he could not imagine ever running out of things to say about Mozart, because every time he listened he discerned something new. I feel that way about jazz in general and especially about certain artists. Sometimes the discernment turns out to be an illusion. I'll hear a recording, experience a eureka-moment, rush to write it down, and in time realize that I had had the same epiphany 15 years ago. But it's not all illusion: the urgency is real the first or the hundredth time.
The jazz world has held few artists as close to its heart as Billie Holiday, the subject of at least 10 books and of chapters in many times that number. Her music has always been available, while time has changed its ramifications, much as her life changed over the mere 44 years of its span. Like Don Quixote, Holiday is three works in one, and the distinctions have as much to do with her stages as ours. First, there's the spirited Billie of the Columbia sessions, wailing a chorus with the boys in the band, buoyant with youthful glow and full-throated optimism. Then there's the middle-period Lady of white carnations, recording for Commodore and Decca, still effervescent but mannered, briefly politicized, and seeking respectability in string ensembles. Finally, there's the stark, vigilant, yet faded and sometimes fading Miss Holiday of the Verve sessions. I love all three periods and always have, but I find myself reverting from one to the other and reacting differently to each as time goes by.
I prefer the quality of her voice in the middle period, but grow impatient with the predictability of some of her improvisational gambits. I prefer the emotional reality of the later period, especially when pianist Jimmy Rowles clears the air around her, but at times the familiar tics undermine empathy. That's the Holiday paradox: We know what she's going to do, yet we fall for it anyway because she puts everything on the line-her heart, her technical limitations, her musical ingenuity-manifested not only in melodic finesse, but in huge open-hearted vowels (something Abbey Lincoln learned from her) that punctuate her songs with unbowed affirmation.
And what of the fabled early work, as much celebrated for her bandmates-most especially Lester Young-as for her vocals? I played them to distraction growing up, infatuated with every aspect of the music, identifying with the singer to an unearthly degree. My emotional involvement was such that inevitably I stopped listening to them for stretches of time, during which I discovered that other singers moved me as much or, in the case of Sarah Vaughan, more. But I always go back, as one does with family, and I've found in recent years, to my great surprise, that what absorbs me more than the sound of her voice, more than the less-is-more improvisational brio, more than the legato swing, more than the wistful, plaintive, occasionally jejune sad-eyed lady of the lowlands intelligence, is the way she imbues lyrics, even-no, especially-the dumb ones, with credibility. She accepts them for what they are, and honors their sentiments by embracing them with both plump red-blooded arms. Just as the revulsion she makes palpable in "Strange Fruit" is beyond the ken of other singers, so is the adoration she expresses in "A Sailboat in the Moonlight."
Recently I played a few of her early record for students who had never heard her. They were reminded of Norah Jones, and why not? If Dickens makes me think of Hitchcock, who was born 29 years after the novelist's death, why shouldn't Holiday remind people of a singer born 20 years after her death who is known for articulating lyrics and keeping a firm beat. We have no control over how generations perceive each other, and it would be lovely to think that Holiday may sustain her audience not because her life is a series of sociological or political metaphors, or because she is revered in the jazz hall of fame, but rather because her music-the way she sings songs-speaks to people who can scarcely imagine the life she led or the world in which she led it. That's a kind of immortality worth having, an artist's immortality. Your Billie may not be my Billie, but let us drink to the good health and long life of both.

All is well in Trojan land, at least for one night.
Thursday's 38-31 victory over Arizona was just what USC needed to move past the circus that was Lane Kiffin's firing and keep its focus on trying to make the 2013 season a successful one.
While the game was by no means perfect for the Trojans, the overall result was as good as anyone could have hoped for considering the surrounding circumstances.
Here's a look at some things we learned about USC from this game:

|Fast Break: Rajon Rondo's triple-double can't keep Celtics from five-game skid
|01.24.13 at 10:43 pm ET
Give them this: At least the Celtics played with heart, but the Knicks still handed them their fifth straight loss, an 89-86 defeat made even more discouraging by J.R. Smith's wide-open 3-pointer and Paul Pierce's turnover with several chances to tie the game in the final minute. Here's what else went wrong (and right).
Terry dry: Since his return to the bench, where he's been most comfortable during his career, Jason Terry continues to slump. He entered the game shooting under 40 percent from the field and 30 percent from 3-point range in 22 minutes a night this month, and those numbers didn't get any better. After getting off to an 0-for-4 start in his first six minutes, Rivers limited his playing time. Terry finished 1-for-6 in 14 minutes, including a costly fourth-quarter turnover.
Brain farts: As well as the Celtics played in stretches, they still took their foot off the pedal at times. The Knicks started the second quarter on a 9-0 run made up of a couple Amar'e Stoudemire buckets around the basket, a J.R. Smith layup and a Pablo Prigioni 3-pointer. In the third quarter, the Celtics committed five turnovers, including three that directly led to layups and New York's 72-66 lead after three quarters.
Off the mark: While the C's defense held the Knicks below 40 percent shooting on the night (38.6 percent FG), their offense wasn't much better (40.8 percent FG). Despite getting a ton of open looks, the Celtics missed jumper after jumper. They combined for 3-of-18 shooting from beyond the arc, including an 0-for-5 night for backup guards Terry, Courtney Lee and Leandro Barbosa. Compounding that fact, the C's didn't tally a single point off their misses, getting outscored 16-0 on second-chance points.
Carmelo Anthony scored 28 points to lead the Knicks over the Celtics, 89-86, Thursday night at TD Garden. Rajon Rondo had 23 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in collecting his 27th career triple-double and his fourth this season for the Celtics, who lost their fifth straight. The Celtics lost five straight twice last season before rallying at the end of the season for a 37-29 record and the Atlantic Division title.
They might not be as lucky this season, as the Atlantic-leading Knicks improved to 26-14, seven games ahead of the 20-22 Celtics in the division.
There were no war of words or trash-talking incidents between Kevin Garnett and Anthony, who greeted each other with a fist-pound at the beginning of the game. Anthony even helped Garnett up from the floor after Garnett hit the deck early in the third quarter.
The Celtics managed a 24-20 lead after one quarter, despite shooting just 10-of-26 (38.5 percent) from the field. The Knicks started the second quarter on fire, opening on a 9-0 run and scoring 11 of the first 12 points in the period to take a 31-25 lead. But the Celtics answered as Paul Pierce started to dominate.
The Celtics went on a 15-3 run to take a 40-34 lead. The Knicks rebounded and managed a 50-48 halftime lead on a pair of free throws with 7.1 seconds left by Amar'e Stoudemire. Rondo missed a layup just before the buzzer that would've tied the game. Still Doc Rivers pounded his fist in the air and appeared happy with his team's effort.
Rivers was particularly pleased with the fact that the Celtics held Anthony to just 4-for-13 shooting in the first 24 minutes. Read the rest of this entry »
|LeBron James thinks Paul Pierce got All-Star snubbed
|at 8:14 pm ET
Always believe there should be 15 on both rosters so there's no snubs. #East– B.Jennings, J Smooth, PP #West– S.Curry, J.Crawford, M.Gasol
— LeBron James (@KingJames) January 25, 2013
Count Heat superstar LeBron James of all people as the first NBA player to count Celtics captain Paul Pierce among the Eastern Conference's All-Star snubs. Pierce was left off the team for the first time since 2007, when he missed 35 games due to injury; the 35-year-old 10-time All-Star also made the East roster from 2002-06.
|Doc Rivers reiterates: 'I have to figure out a way'
|at 8:10 pm ET
Celtics head coach Doc Rivers said before Thursday night's game with the Knicks that he still believes his team has what it takes to overcome the doldrums that have seen his team lose four straight after winning six in a row.
Rivers was asked if he had any changes in store for a big weekend of basketball that includes the Knicks, Hawks and Heat on Sunday.
"Let's hope we don't [have to make changes],' Rivers said. "If we start playing better then you don't, obviously. If you don't [start playing better], then we have to do something at some point. Again, I think we have what we need in the locker room. I'm just not getting it out of them and I have to figure out a better way of getting it out of them."
Rivers also said he hopes his team is inspired by the Kevin Garnett–Carmelo Anthony incident the last time the two teams met in New York, a 102-96 Boston win. Anthony was held to 20 points on 6-of-26 shooting from the field.
After getting into a confrontation late in the fourth quarter, Anthony tried to meet with Garnett in front of the Celtics locker room and then in front of the Celtics team bus before Madison Square Garden security and police intervened.
|Paul Pierce left off Eastern Conference All-Star squad
|at 7:43 pm ET
For just the second time in 13 seasons, Paul Pierce did not earn a spot on the Eastern Conference All-Star squad as the reserves were announced Thursday night on national television prior to the Celtics' game vs. the Knicks.
Pierce is leading the Celtics in scoring at 18.9 points per game and has started all 41 games for the Celtics, but that wasn't enough to win a spot on the team. Pierce didn't make it in 2007 when his season was shortened due to a stress reaction in his foot. The last time a healthy Pierce was left off the All-Star team was 2001, just his third season in the NBA.
Joining starters Rajon Rondo, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett and Carmelo Anthony are five first-time All-Stars, including Tyson Chandler (Knicks), Paul George (Pacers), Jrue Holiday (76ers), Kyrie Irving (Cavaliers) and Joakim Noah (Bulls). Miami's Chris Bosh and Chicago's Luol Deng, making his second consecutive All-Star appearance, round out the East reserves.
Joining Duncan as reserves in the West are LaMarcus Aldridge (Trail Blazers), James Harden (Rockets), David Lee (Warriors), Tony Parker (Spurs), Zach Randolph (Grizzlies) and Russell Westbrook (Thunder). It's the first selection for Harden, in his first season with the Rockets. It's the second All-Star nod for Lee, Randolph and Aldridge, while Westbrook earns his third consecutive trip to the All-Star Game. Parker is an All-Star for the fifth time in his career.
The 62nd NBA All-Star Game will be played at the Toyota Center in Houston on Feb. 17.
|Big Baby wants PB&J, and he wanted it yesterday
|at 11:12 am ET
Oh, Glen Davis, how do I miss thee? Let me count the ways … [thinking] … [still thinking] … on second thought, let's not. Even if he has twice the production this season, I'm still taking Brandon Bass every day and twice on Sundays. Think of all the money the Celtics saved on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches alone?
|Was Avery Bradley firing a Twitter shot at Rajon Rondo?
|01.23.13 at 3:08 pm ET
After the Celtics' fourth straight defeat — a 95-90 loss suffered at the hands of Kyrie Irving (40 points) and the Cavaliers — guard Avery Bradley tweeted: "Nobody will score 40 on [me] unless they take 40 shots."
Irving scored his 40 on 24 shots, although just three of those attempts came against Bradley; meanwhile, the Cavs point guard made 6-of-11 attempts against Celtics point Rajon Rondo, according to Synergy Sports (h/t @ESPNForsberg. That may not even include plays like Irving's isolation drive past with 22 seconds left in the fourth quarter, when he blew by Rondo and got (questionably) fouled by Jared Sullinger on a three-point play.
So, why wasn't Bradley — considered by many the best on-ball defender in the NBA — facing the surefire All-Star, particularly in that situation? While he's recovering from a rib injury, Bradley played 26 effective minutes and was on the floor for the span from 2:31 to 0:22 of the fourth quarter, when Irving scored nine points on four layups.
When the C's guard took to Twitter just minutes after the conclusion of the game, many considered it a veiled shot at Rondo, although Bradley quickly deleted the tweet and posted instead: "No shots at anybody. It's confidence."

Let's skip all the filler talk and just get to the hard fact: if you're trying to get rich and make a six-figure income through websites or blogs, then forget about it. The harsh reality is that although there are successful people out there who do make a living off monetizing blogs, the vast majority of people who try to walk this road don't. Sorry to crush your dreams right from the get-go, but I've seen too many people jump into this business with super high aspirations only to crash and burn when they realize the tough road ahead of them. That's why I recommend beginner webmasters to keep their goals modest – the Internet is a huge place and getting noticed will be difficult, especially if you start off on the wrong foot. I've been making websites and blogs for a few years now. It has always been a hobby of mine and only recently have I discovered ways to earn some money from it. Don't jump into this with making money as your sole reason for blogging, there are easier and far less frustrating ways to make money in life Here's some more positive reasons for blogging:
Accomplishment – It gives you a sense of accomplishment having crafted something of your own creation; and hopefully something helpful and informative that can be shared with your visitors. Interaction – reading comments and getting feedback is a great way of gaining inspiration for future blogs and excellent motivation to keep writing. Fun – this is probably the most important reason. Blogging should be Fun, never forget that. This is something you chose to do with your precious free time, so why should you continue to do it if it feels like work?
The most successful bloggers out there began just like you or me with some little known domain with a trickle of traffic. So how did they rise to where they are today? Well, there's no real secret, all of them offer the same general advice to building a successful blog:
1. Blog about what you're passionate about. The worst thing you can probably do is to start a blog because you found out that the topic generates high paying ads. In all likelihood, it's a topic you have very little knowledge of or experience with. Researching such a topic is feasible but will be very time consuming and take away time from actual blog writing. High paying topics or keywords will almost certainly have high competition, making it all the much harder for you to get noticed. So, trust me, blog about what really interests you and it'll go a long way in improving the quality of your blogs as well as keeping you motivated. Which brings us to the next point.
2. Finding your own voice. This might seem odd, but many bloggers tend to put on a new persona when starting out a new blog. I know this because I used to do it all the time until I realized that you don't need to pretend to be super professional, a know-it-all, or overly funny to get people reading. I find that it stiffens the flow of your writing because you're constantly pretending to be someone you're not. People subscribe and are more likely to become returning visitors if they discover that you're truly interested or knowledgeable in a particular topic – and that's not something you can easily fake.
3. Stay focused on one topic. Branching out into multiple topics is okay for a personal journal, but the best blogs tend to keep to one topic or a few closely related ones. The reason for this is the majority of visitors coming to your website will have a particular topic they wish to find out more about, and the more focused your website is on that topic, the higher the chance they'll end up on your doorstep. Search engines like Google and Yahoo! work the same way and reward blog more content on a particular keyword with higher rankings on search results. Don't take this advice as saying you shouldn't ever write about something random, that's fine once in awhile but just remember not to alienate your readership too much as they can be very picky.
These pieces of advice can easily be applied to many other aspects of life as they can to blogging. And like in life, you'll eventually find a style that works for you. I hope this post will be helpful in guiding future bloggers, come visit my homepage for more tips and secrets in the future. And remember, work hard at what you enjoy and success will follow.

Have you ever wanted to run from the law, but don't want to actually break a law to see that happen?
The Volusia County Sheriff's Office Charity Committee is giving runners that chance.
The committee will host its first Jail Break 5K Race at 7 a.m. April 27 to benefit the Sheriff's Youth Ranch and DeBary Hall. A release by the committee says, "Run from the Po-Po/Jail Break 5K."
Two minutes after runners take off from DeBary Hall, 198 Sunrise Blvd., law enforcement officers from the Sheriff's Office and other agencies will try to pass as many runners as they can. The agency that passes the most runners wins a special award. The Sheriff's Youth Ranch will also receive a bonus donation based on the winning agency's number of runners passed.
Runners are encouraged to bring their best prisoner costume for the post-race costume contest.

r.s = 2 cos(t) + 2 sin(t).
Thus r and s are at right angles when r.s=0, so we are looking for the
smallest positive root of:
cos(t) + sin(t) = 0,
which is where you had got to.
Now to get an idea of where this root is your best approach is to sketch
some curves. The point we seek is where:
cos(t) = -sin(t)
if we sketch these it appears that the first positive root is near t=3pi/4,
substituting this into the equation confirms that this is in fact a solution.

Keep, Trade or Release 2013: A Vancouver Whitecaps player analysis (Part One - Goalkeepers)
Oct 25 2013 02:00 AM | Michael McColl in AFTNvancouver whitecaps mls major league soccer end of season keep trade or release
Four keepers on the books is a luxury most MLS teams don't afford themselves. Bad management, hand tied by MLS rules or a bit of both? Whatever it was, you know they're not all going to be in Vancouver next year.
Joe Cannon
Steve: (TRADE) - There has been no official announcement from Cannon as to whether he will look to play another year but if he does then he can't return at his current guaranteed salary of $189,916. However, the starting keeper at the beginning of the season could return if he is willing to have his salary cut in at least half.
Michael: (RELEASE/RETIRE but...) - Joe's stayed classy to the end, tweeting this week that fans shouldn't want him to play on Sunday but go with the future and Simon Thomas. Wherever the future takes him I hope he gets what he wants out of it. I have this sneaking feeling that he may still be around. If Yallop was to get the manager's job, he may want to keep Joe as goalkeeping coach. With his wage from that, he could then be on the books as a third keeper at a super low salary for emergencies.
Jay: (RELEASE) - Let this old steed ride off into the sunset. He may wish to try again somewhere else, but it's likely time to move on to coaching for Joe.
Aaron: (RELEASE) - His time is done in Vancouver. There is no way he will be back as a player in a Whitecaps kit. He would be a great addition as a youth development goalkeeper coach with this organization.
Christopher: (RELEASE) - I don't think Joe's done yet. He'll probably take the biggest paycheque he can find, but I don't see it being in Vancouver. If I'm wrong, I'd have no problem with him backing up the starting goalkeeper.
Brad Knighton
Christopher: (TRADE) - He's made it clear that he doesn't want to be a backup, and that's the only job he's going to get in Vancouver. His time here has enhanced his value, but he may have to drop back down into NASL again. Sadly, this was probably his best shot at being a starter in MLS.
Aaron: (TRADE) - He has a very small salary $68,600 but he wants to be a starter in this league. Has stated that he misses home and sitting on the bench might push him to move on with his career.
Jay: (TRADE) - Holding on to Brad may cause dressing room division. Move him on if you can get a handful of allocation money to a team who could use a cheap keeper looking to challenge for a starting job.
Steve: (TRADE) - Early in the season he was given the reigns to be the number one keeper and while he showed flashes, the Seattle home game, there was a lack of consistency. There is no way Knighton will be happy with staying in Vancouver as the backup and could prove to be a distraction so a move to another club or cutting ties completely would be ideal.
Michael: (TRADE) - He's a good keeper but his weak points still don't make him a strong MLS starter for me. I'm not sure he wants to be a backup again anywhere at this stage of his career. His performances may make him tradable but I don't see too many takers and none as a starter in this league, although his low salary will appeal for what they are getting. I see him dropping back down to NASL level. I'm pretty sure he's also relishing a return to living in the US.
David Ousted
Steve: (KEEP) - He was their only summer window acquisition and while many don't feel he made much a difference, he was an improvement over what they had before. Ousted has already shown that he does well to challenge shots and will only improve with a full preseason where he can develop a better chemistry with his backline.
Jay: (KEEP) - It's hardly been a smooth transition for the fiery Dane, but he appears to have the tools to succeed at this level. Although the circumstances surrounding his signing were not ideal, he should be kept around next season.
Christopher: (KEEP) - He's had something of a rocky start in Vancouver, but few of the goals he's conceded could be attributed to him. No one can stop every goal. And unlike others in his profession, he doesn't seem to dwell on the ones he could have stopped. He simply moves on and tries to stop the next one.
Aaron: (KEEP) - Starting keeper moving forward for this team. Will benefit with a off season and training camp in Vancouver. Don't know if he is a long term solution. He has stated he has EPL dreams in the next 3-4 yrs.
Michael: (KEEP) - I'm a fan of his and I think we will see this prove to be a great acquisition in the long run and for $166,156, it's pretty good money. I like how he comes off his line and, on the whole, his kicking and distribution. I do feel he should have done better with some of the goals this year however and worry that we may not see the best out of him if he isn't feeling challenged for the number one spot.
Simon Thomas
Aaron: (KEEP) - With the salary cap crunch the team is in he may have to step up and be the back up next season. With a salary of $35,125 it would open up money to make a move shoring up the midfield.
Jay: (KEEP) - Simon has looked decent in PDL and Reserve league games. For his own sake, he'd be smart to stick around and try and land the backup keeper position. If he's unable to find some minutes next season, perhaps it's time for him to find minutes elsewhere.
Michael: (KEEP) - I agree with Jay and I think he will make the backup position his own, but he needs to rise to the occasion and challenge for the starting spot. When we spoke with him at the start of the year, he said he wasn't here to just play second fiddle. Now we need to see that desire and see him rise to really challenge Ousted preseason.
Steve: (KEEP) - The current staff seems to have confidence that Thomas has the ability to be a keeper in MLS and he showed it when he played in Reserve matches and shutout the United States in an international friendly. With his low salary he would be an ideal fit as a backup to Ousted where he will be the regular starter in Reserve matches.
Christopher: (KEEP) - It's only a matter of time before he's replaced by Marco Carducci, but until then, his continued presence will be mutually beneficial to player and club. In an ideal world, he'll develop into a senior backup by then.
So that's the end of the first part of our 2013 player analysis. At least one goalie will move on, but you have to think it will be more.
In part two, we'll take a look at the defenders. Out with the old and in with the young, or will some of the old guard still be hanging around for a while yet?

An alternate connection method is where an SSL session is established up front before any protocol commands are sent. This connection method is sometimes called SMTP/SSL, SMTP over SSL, or SMTPS and by default uses port 465. This alternate connection method using SSL is not currently supported.
You must work with the mail server administrator to determine the proper settings for the email notifications.
You can determine if the email server supports SMTP over TLS by using the telnet client. The telnet client is not installed by default on the Server. You can install it by using Server Manager and going to features and choosing to add the telnet client or you can perform the test from a client machine. From a command prompt you would enter:
Telnet<mailservername><port number>where mailservername and portnumber are the name of the mail server and the port number. For example, telnet smtp.live.com 587
You will see a connection header similar to the following:
220 BLU0-SMTP39.blu0.hotmail.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.4675 ready at Mon, 7 Mar 2011 11:35:40 -0800
Type EHLO
The mail server will return the SMTP commands it supports. For example you will see a list similar to this:
250-BLU0-SMTP39.blu0.hotmail.com Hello
If the command STARTTLS is in the list, then the mail server supports SMTP over TLS and we can check the box for the server requires a secure connection (SSL).

BEING pregnant is clearly tapping into Beyonce's sense of family – because she can't stop gushing about her own mother.
She credits mum Tina for being the flair behind her fashion label, House of Deréon.
She says: "It's not like this strange battle between mother and daughter, like people expect. My mother's been designing for Destiny's Child and myself since we first started out. Deréon is my grandmother's name and it comes from three generations of style. My grandmother used to sew beautiful garments for my mother – and she did the same for me."

Why Gateway Bullets?
Our Bullets Are Better!
We use the Hi-Tek Supercoat Bullet Lube system. This coating has been imported from Australia where it has been in use for the past 20 plus years. The Hi-Tek Supercoat Bullet Lube totally encapsulates the lead projectiles and replaces standard wax lube. The advantage of this lube is that is stops leading and you will see a great reduction in smoke when shooting. Our bullets are "Hard Cast." Hard cast bullets are just that: harder. Pure lead typically has a Brinell hardness of 4. When we say hard cast that means our bullets have a Brinell hardness of 18 BHN.
We use a 92% Lead / 6% Antimony / 2% Tin bullet alloy for casting all bullets. We buy our bullet alloy directly from a local foundry that has the knowledge, equipment and experience to manufacture bullet alloy to exacting specifications. WE DO NOT USE RECYCLED LEAD OR USED WHEEL WEIGHTS!

My oldest daughter has a bedroom in the basement. She loves that she gets space to herself down there, but since it's below ground it is a little dark. Plus, we painted her room brown, which made it even darker (why did we do that???). And she had a great loft bed/desk unit, but since the ceilings are low in her room, she couldn't sit up in bed and it felt cramped. She ended up not spending time … [Read more...]

Accurate prediction of changes in the gas permeability during variable soil-moisture conditions is a prerequisite for improved simulation and design of soil-venting systems for removal of volatile organic chemicals in polluted soils. Air permeability, k, as a function of soil air-filled porosity, ∊, was measured on intact soil cores in a sandy forest soil from four depths with very different porosities and organic matter contents. The new data, together with 16 additional data sets for undisturbed soils, were used to evaluate several predictive models for relative gas permeability. A simplified Brooks & Corey model and a Millington & Quirk model gave similar and good predictions for sandy and loamy soils. A new soil type-dependent permeability model using the Campbell soil water retention parameter, b, to describe soil type effects gave an overall better description of relative gas permeability for all 20 soils. Both the previous and new gas permeability models require a reference point measurement of k at a relatively high air-filled porosity. However, based on measurements of both k and gas diffusion coefficients on the same undisturbed sandy and loamy soils, a simple relationship between absolute gas permeability and gas diffusivity was derived from a classical tortuous-tube gas flow model. This relation was combined with the recently presented PMQ model for predicting gas diffusivity (Soil Science 162:632-640) to obtain a new, conceptual model for absolute gas permeability as a function of soil type and airfilled porosity.

Gotham City Imposters Hands-On Preview -- Fake Batmen Do Use GunsBy Eric Eckstein - Posted May 17, 2011
I had a blast playing as Batman AND Joker recently, and neither of that was due to Batman: Arkham City. Sure, Batman: AC may be the most eagerly anticipated sequel of the year, and yes it looks amazing (more on that soon) but there's another Batman in town. And another Joker. And yet another Batman, Joker, etc., because the new game is Gotham City Impostors, and in it, everybody gets to be the hero or villain.
Monolith Productions, the team behind FEAR and the classic No One Lives Forever franchise, have been given a chance to design the project of their dreams and that's a team-based multiplayer shooter in DC Comics' Batman universe called Gotham City Impostors. Their pitch got buy-in from DC's Jim Lee, who will pen the storyline, but initially, I was skeptical. I wasn't sure what to expect as the team unveiled a trailer around GCI depicting cartoony average joes (office drones, fast food clerks, etc.) donning the Batcowl to take to the streets in a style more akin to Castle Crashers than what followed.
Next, the Monolith team showed a piece of concept art showcasing various Joker gang members, similar in style to Batman: Arkham Asylum with one naked Joker flipping us off with a very noticeable genital blur. Now, this was a game more suited to my tastes, and thankfully, I was able to spend a good chunk of time playing through the game to give you a sense of what playing Gotham City Impostors is all about.
Picture your typical downloadable shooter like Blacklight Tango Down or Breach, yet before panicking, picture it full of customizable Batmen and Jokerites. Players can fully tailor how their particular hero or heroine looks, from cosmetic choices like gloves, capes, and cowls to weapon and gadget loadouts.Pick a Nimble body type, and you'll move quick, but Tough bodies take more damage. Adopt a grapple gun, and you'll be able to ascend to a high vantage point, but if you race around on roller skates, you're a lot faster on the ground.
You'll be able to choose from a variety of guns (shotguns, assault rifles, rocket launchers, sub-machine guns), support weapons like pipe bombs, boomerangs, and revitalizing energy drinks, and gadgets like the aforementioned grapple gun or glider rig, which lets you float further when jumping/falling. These weapons can also have mods attached to them, so you can tweak a rocket launcher to fire multiple rounds, for example. All of this is gained through various unlocks in the game; the more you progress, the more opens up.
My Gotham City Impostors hands-on session was a 4v4 match, though currently, the player cap is unknown. As GCI does not support bots, everybody was a live opponent, and I, along with my fellow Joker buddies, annihilated them all. GCI is incredibly easy to pick up and play for anyone familiar to FPS titles. Left trigger looks down the sights, right trigger fires. Right bumper uses your support weapon, in my case a one-hit kill hatchet that is similar to Call of Duty: Black Ops' tomahawk, and left bumper triggers the special gadget, which for me was the grapple gun so I could waste Batfools by dropping down on them from up on high. On the level we played, entitled Amusement Mile, there were also trampolines scattered about to make things interesting. Even at this early stage, GCI played fast and furious, though the feedback when shooting enemies needs some improvement.
Roles aren't defined as well as say Team Fortress 2 or Monday Night Combat, but you can swap loadouts on the fly, and the degree of customization for weapons is very robust for a downloadable game. GCI seems to be aimed at more of a straight-forward, deathmatch, capture and hold/CTF style game modes as opposed to objective-oriented missions, but it remains to be seen what the team develops between now and release. One of my favorite features was the calling card system that displays a custom logo, backdrop, and signature whenever you kill someone. Clearly a great way to rub salt in the wound of your dead enemies!
There's a lot still to learn about this multiplayer shooter, but so far, our interest is piqued. Monolith's cleverly found a way for everybody to "be" Batman and Joker, and also skirted around that "the real Batman wouldn't use guns" problem. I'm definitely interested in seeing more of Gotham City Impostors in the future.
Gotham City Impostors is coming to XBLA, PSN, and PC.

Batman would never condone the use of guns, he's absolutely against them in his fighting style. I'm hoping the Batmen won't either, but looks like it's just plain old weird.Posted: May 17, 2011 11:00 AM

Sony Reissues Six Vintage CTI Jazz Titles
Iconic jazz label releases albums from Jim Hall, Ron Carter, Deodato, George Benson, Milt Jackson and Paul Desmond.
The iconic record label CTI, noted for its slick cover photography, gatefold albums and 70s sound, recently celebrated its 40th Anniversary. The label has long since left the control of its founder, Creed Taylor, and is now owned and managed by Sony, who kicked off the anniversary celebration in the fall of 2010 with the release of CTI: The Cool Revolution 4-CD box set and California Concert: The Hollywood Palladium 2-CD set. Now they're getting down to the business of reissuing all those great albums from the storied catalogue.
Although the vintage artwork and gatefold covers don't have the same wallop in the smaller CD format, the releases still open up the same way as the old LPs. And the music remains as fresh as when it was originally created and released in the early '70s. The first single albums to be reissued are: Jim Hall Concierto; Ron CarterAll Blues; DeodatoPrelude; George Benson White Rabbit; Milt Jackson Sunflower; Paul Desmond Pure Desmond.
Although the leaders are all notable and influential artists, the names of the sidemen on these albums are just as impressive and likely to resonate with the serious jazz fan. For example, the Milt Jackson date includes a band of Herbie Hancock, Freddie Hubbard, Ron Carter and Billy Cobham backing the legendary vibes player. And Jim Hall's album includes Paul Desmond, Chet Baker, Carter, Steve Gadd and Roland Hanna.
The Benson album was perhaps his most popular for the CTI label, while Deodato's Prelude included his hit single, an arrangement of Richard Strauss's fanfare from Also Sprach Zarathustra.

Georgetown Makes Statement with Win over Yale
from press release
WASHINGTON - The No. 17 Georgetown University
women's lacrosse squad made a statement on Sunday defeating the
Yale University Bulldogs (2-8), 16-3, at Multi-Sport Field. The
Hoyas allowed two early goals, but controlled the pace from that
point on to get the 16-3 victory and improve to 4-5 on the
"What I was most pleased with today was our ride," said Georgetown Head Coach Ricky Fried. "We did a good job of holding them in their defensive end which caused turnovers giving us second and third chances."
Freshman Hannah Franklin (Phoenix, Md./McDonogh School) started off the scoring for the Blue & Gray with a goal in the first three minutes. Senior captain Jordy Kirr (Baltimore, Md./Bryn Mawr School) made it 2-0 at the 26:16 mark as the Hoyas looked to be rolling.
However, the Bulldogs answered with a pair of scores one minute apart to tie the game at 23:44. That would be as close as the squad would come as GU dominated the remainder of the contest.
Kirr scored her second of the day to take the lead and notch the game winner. Georgetown managed eight more goals before the half to make it 11-2 at the break. Senior Jacqueline Giles (Ellicott City, Md./Moutn Hebron) as well as sophomores Kelsi Bozel (Hunt Valley, Md./Notre Dame Prep), Sophia Thomas (Lutherville, Md./Maryvale Prep), Rosie Corcoran (Point Lookout, N.Y./Sacred Heart Academy) and Dina Jackson (Potomac, Md./Bullis) all had a goal, while Kirr tallied her third of the game and senior Kathleen Dwyer (Winnetka, Ill.Loyola Academy) managed two.
In the second half, the Hoyas continued to add to the lead with four goal, including two by senior captain Mary Beth Brophy (Berwyn, Pa./Archbishop Carroll), Corcoran's second and one more by Bozel to make the score 15-2 at the 12:44 mark.
Yale found the back of the cage one more time before sophomore Evan O'Neill (Ho-Ho-Kus, N.J./Northern Highlands) scored to make the final 16-3.
GU outshot Yale, 37-12 and forced 27 Bulldog turnovers to the Hoyas' 14. Both squads pulled in 11 draw controls and Georgetown posted 26 ground balls.

Meet Maxwell, a young chap who owns a magical notepad with a very special power: write the name of anything down and it'll come to life! Pretty cool eh? Maxwell's on a mission to help his sister Lily – who has been cursed and is slowly turning to stone! To save her he needs to collect starites and starite shards, and the only way to get those is to help people out. Thankfully the world of Scribblenauts Unlimited is packed with oddball puzzles at every turn, so there are plenty of people who need helping!
Picture the scene: maybe you need to save a kitten stuck in a tree, or perhaps there's a mucky pig that needs scrubbing clean, or it could be time to bring some belly laughs to a depressed clown. Just tap the name of anything you can think of onto the Wii U GamePad's touch screen and watch as it comes to life in-game. Ladders, wings, comedians, elephants, ropes and much more will blink into existence at your command. Now you just need to see if your idea will solve the problem at hand… or make it hilariously worse!
Why not add an adjective (or two) to your creation and go for a more adventurous solution? With adjectives you can change the colour, size or behaviour of an object, and there are thousands to choose from. Sure, a "dog" might solve your boggle, but would an "angry zombie dog" be better? Probably. Part of the fun is in experimenting to try out simple-but-elegant solutions as well as off-the-wall ideas – you never know what might work. Go crazy and you're sure to have tons of fun inventing amazing items that fit the bill.
Maxwell's latest adventure takes place in a great big open world! The universe is still jam-packed full of puzzles, but on this occasion the seamless, free-roaming levels let you go wherever you want, whenever you want. On top of the puzzles themselves you can also have unlimited hours of fun using the world as your personal playground!
This time around you can create your own Object Library, which allows you to save and store any really cool items you've summoned in Maxwell's "magic backpack" for quick access at a later date. And don't worry if you get stuck - with the new Merit Board you can check out a helpful hint list for each location, or use "Starite Vision" to highlight all the nearby starites and starite shards. Magic.
If you've ever wanted to see what'd happen if you put Mario, Tingle and a Bob-omb in the same room, it's your lucky day! Scribblenauts Unlimited features dozens of Nintendo characters and items – including Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Link, Zelda, Toad, Tingle, Ganondorf, well, the list goes on! Chuck a few of your faves into the mix and create your own Nintendo drama on the screen.
Scribblenauts Unlimited marks the first time the franchise has come to a home console, and offers a whole host of features that make the experience even bigger and better than ever before!
Now you can play Scribblenauts in high definition on your living room TV! Want a better view on the action? Use the zoom function! Enjoy the gorgeous hand-drawn world in even greater detail by zooming in, or zoom right out for an overview of the area.
Get your creative juices flowing and dive in – the Object Editor lets you invent some truly original items to call up in-game. There are tons of options, so you're only limited by your imagination! You can tweak the colour and pattern of an object, move parts around, change the size, add physical properties, assign behaviour scripts to define how your object will interact with the Scribblenauts world and even give it a cool name.
Once completed, your bespoke bit o' kit can be saved and shared with other Wii U players online, and you can also download objects that others have made to your own library!
Get by with a little help from your friends: up to three mates can drop in using Wii Remotes* and take control of any object you've brought to life on screen. Of course, gathering all your chums to shout out ideas when you're playing is brilliant fun too – the more the merrier!
Whenever the TV is in use, you can switch the action to the Wii U GamePad alone and keep rockin' in the Scribblenauts world with off-TV play.
*Additional accessories required for multiplayer mode, sold separately.

Colorado conservatives creamed in governor's race, on Supreme Court judges and on ballot initiatives
With about 43% of the votes in, Colorado's conservatives are being creamed in some big races. They're losing their ballot initiatives. And they failed to fire any Supreme Court judges. It seems unlikely that the conservatives can win those races.
Democrat Governor-elect John Hickenlooper easily beat conservative Tom Tancredo.
Democrat U.S. Rep Ed Perlmutter easily beat Republican Ryan Frazier in CD 7.
Conservative extremists who promoted Amendments 60, 61 and 62 are losingbig time. Proposition 101 also is failing.
The Independence Institute's anti-ObamaCare Amendment 63 also looks like a big loser.
Conservatives are losing in their effort to fire the three state Supreme Court judges who are up for retention.
Conservatives won two important U.S. House seats from incumbent Democrats. Republican Cory Gardner beat freshman Democrat Betsy Markey in CD 4 and Republican Scott Tipton appears to be beating Democrat John Salazar in CD 3.
Conservatives still are hoping to pull out some statewide victories.
Democrat Sen. Michael Bennet appears to be beating Republican Ken Buck 48% to 47% with 43% of the votes counted, but Buck is gaining as outstate votes are counted. The votes from strong GOP counties apparently still aren't in.It's still not what happened in the state Attorney General, Treasurer and Secretary of State races.
And not all returns are in on the state legislative races where the GOP is hoping to win control of the General Assembly.

Bill Nye the Science Guy speaks at sixth-grade career fair
By Rona S. Hirsch Staff writer
Posted 6/14/07
Bill Nye likes to do things by the numbers.
A mechanical engineer by trade, Nye is fascinated with mathematics. Everything, he says, is driven by math. And math, he insists, is fun. "Nothing is more fun than math," Nye said. "You just got to show how exciting it is."
And that explains his other career: "Bill Nye the Science Guy." For years, Nye has engaged young audiences on the wonders of math and science through his Emmy Award- winning educational TV show and public appearances. "That's my business -- get people excited about the passion, beauty and joy -- PBJ -- of math," he said.
Nye brought his enthusiasm as guest speaker at Raytheon's MathMovesU Career Fair on June 7 at MacArthur Middle School. The three- hour event also was attended by 25 sixth-graders from Meade Middle School. "This is letting them see how relevant math and science are," said Kisha Webster, assistant principal of the sixth grade at MacArthur.
The Raytheon Company created MathMovesU, an Internet-based education program, to keep middle school students involved in math at a time when interest and achievement in the subject typically drop. "In fourth grade, American students are among the world's best in math and science," said Steve Hawkins, vice president of National Systems for Raytheon Intelligence and Information Systems. "By ninth grade, they rank 28th, near bottom. If we are going improve the math skills of our students and get them to follow a career that requires math, we've got to excite them."
Nye is one of several celebrities -- from soccer star Mia Hamm to basketball great Bill Russell -- enlisted by Raytheon to help transform math's image and show students how math plays an important role in their lives. Students can access the Web site to work on real-world application such as calculating the degrees of rotation that professional skateboarder Tony Hawk needs to complete a spin.
"We have a real passion for convincing teens and kids to hone up their math skills, that careers are cool in math and everything behind various careers are driven by math," Hawkins said.
During the career fair, students toured the exhibits of math-related career opportunities: pilot, banker, nurse, chemist, code breaker, Web designer, engineer, hardwood floors installer and makeup artist. "All require math skills," Hawkins said. "Everything is a form of measurements and a form of prediction."
Some youngsters got on their knees to measure the square footage for installing hardwood floors, while others computed the descent time from Baltimore on approach to Orlando. Students also were given exercises in code breaking and on the proper application of makeup. "I learned that you need math to know how to mix makeup so you don't break out and you need geometry to know how to apply the makeup," said Jadah Bird, 12.
Even would-be engineer Austen Rohrbaugh, 11, was surprised at math's diverse applications. "I never thought math is used that much," he said.
Students also learned the bitter facts of playing the lottery at the "How Smart Is It To Play the Lottery?" exhibit. After receiving a free gift, they had the chance to give it up for a shot at a larger gift. "We're showing your odds aren't really good," said Mark Joll, a Raytheon site communicator.
An empty-handed Kierra Harrison figured that out the hard way. "I learned you shouldn't gamble," said the 12-year-old.
But the lines were longest to meet the number-one attraction, who was greeted with cheers as he walked onstage. "Bill Nye is the rock star in science," Hawkins said.
Dressed in a dark suit and signature bow tie, the Science Guy discussed Mars, sundials, global warming, the flying habits of bumblebees and the installation of a solar collector on the roof of his Los Angeles home. He also showed slides of Pluto -- the dwarf planet as well as Disney character.
"He was able to relate to them," said John Wilson, sixth-grade social studies teacher at MacArthur. "They were tuning in."
Throughout his presentation peppered with humor, Nye stressed the diverse applications of science and mathematics, particularly in improving the planet. "My favorite planet is Earth," he said. "It's the only place we've got to live. So I want you guys to get good at math. So you not only get rich, but, dare I say it, change the world!"
An author and inventor who was born in 1955 in Washington, D.C., Nye credits his parents for his interest in math and science. During World War II, his mother was recruited to work on breaking Germany's Enigma code. His father learned the patterns of the constellations and developed a passion for sundials during his nearly four-year internment in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp in China that seldom had electricity.
In 1977, Nye earned a degree in mechanical engineering at Cornell University. His astronomy teacher was Carl Sagan. After graduation, Nye was hired as an engineer for Boeing in Seattle, where he designed a hydraulic pressure resonance suppresser. Combining his love of science with comedy, Nye worked as an engineer by day and stand-up comic by night, even snagging a Steve Martin look-alike contest.
"Bill Nye the Science Guy" first appeared on a Seattle comedy show, "Almost Live." A hit, Nye produced his own science show that aired on PBS from 1993-1998. Subsequent programs for older audiences included "Eyes of Nye" and "Greatest Inventions." He also appeared in the live-action segments of "Back to the Future: The Animated Series" and "NUMB3RS," the TV drama that uses math to solve crimes.
Nye wants students to believe that they also can find thrills in math. "Our society is increasingly dependent on math; nothing is not math," he said. "Math has a truth, that if you learn it you will be empowered. I love math. Who doesn't love math?"

The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) is seen as an important vehicle for providing consistent primary care and achieving cost savings through care coordination. We used health plan administrative data to evaluate utilization and cost among enrollees who attended a PCMH compared with those who fragmented their care. Controlling for demographic differences, PCMH attendees made significantly fewer primary care and specialist visits than other groups, and associated professional fees were significantly lower than for enrollees receiving less consistent primary care.

Greg Werkheiser
703.408.2002 direct
Greg Werkheiser is an award-winning lawyer and social entrepreneur tackling complex challenges in the fields of cultural heritage preservation, economic development, leadership development, politics and government, and civil rights. He is a Founding Partner of the law and policy firm Cultural Heritage Partners, PLLC, and of its allied strategic advisory firm, The Heritas Group.
Greg's passion for history was a childhood gift from his uncle, who led him on adventures into the deep woods and caves of the northeast United States to discover mysterious remnants of complex ancient cultures missing from his school textbooks. About a decade later Greg had just begun his career as a commercial litigator for what would become the world's largest law firm when his uncle called and found him at his desk near midnight. Could Greg take on a case pro bono for an American Indian tribe seeking to protect from imminent destruction a sacred site with a 10,000 year archaeological record of human life? Oh, and could Greg appear for his client in fewer than 8 hours, 300 miles away, in a court in which he was not licensed to practice?
The battle to save the Black Creek Site lasted five years and involved 24 hearings, with Greg's team prevailing in 23. The 40-acre site is now protected as a state park. And Greg was hooked. Fifteen years later Greg uses law, policy, and business strategy to help preserve the lessons of our diverse history for use by modern leaders in building a better shared future for us all.
Indeed, Greg has enjoyed a vibrant parallel career as a social entrepreneur designing new ways to prepare tomorrow's leaders. Over two decades he founded and led four of the nation's top leadership development centers:
- The Presidio Institute – launching a $200 million center for cross-sector leadership at historic Fort Scott overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge
- The Center for Social Entrepreneurship at George Mason University – modeling social innovation education strategies for universities globally
- The Phoenix Project – developing social entrepreneurs on the streets of America's poorest communities to address joblessness, schools, health, and violence
- The University of Virginia's Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership – building bipartisan public service academies for college and high school students (formerly the Virginia Citizenship Institute).
An estimated 1,000 graduates of the intensive programs Greg designed now help lead federal and state governments, innovative nonprofit organizations and social enterprises, and responsible corporations. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching explored the impacts of Greg's work in the book Educating for Democracy: Preparing Undergraduates for Responsible Political Engagement (Jossey Bass). His worked garnered the Virginia Governor's Award for Community Service.
While fostering leadership movements, Greg has himself held public service roles in federal and state government. He has written speeches at the White House and the U.S. Embassy in Paris, coordinated the U.S.'s participation in global meetings for the U.S. Information Agency, and increased the efficiency of Capitol Hill offices through the Congressional Management Foundation. Appointed by Governor Mark Warner, Greg chaired the Virginia Commission on National and Community Service. He co-founded the U.S. State Department-hosted Harriman Foreign Service Fellowships for students interested in diplomatic service.
As a narrowly unsuccessful candidate for the Virginia legislature against a 16-year incumbent, Greg secured the endorsement of The Washington Post and community papers, and greater financial support than any prior candidate for the Virginia House. Greg is a long-time advocate for the empowerment of racial and religious minorities, women and girls, and the LGBTQ community. He is a lifetime member of the NAACP.
Greg's work in cultural heritage law and policy, leadership development, politics, and civil rights has appeared in more than 1,000 news items in 300+ media outlets.
He earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Virginia School of Law and his B.A. degree in government from the College of William and Mary, where he served as student government president and chair of the statewide student coalition.
Greg lives with his wife and professional collaborator, Marion Forsyth Werkheiser, and daughter, Amelia, at Sutherland House, a Civil War era Virginia home which they restored and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
- Coordinate Preservation 50, the U.S.'s year-long commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act, coalescing 300 public, nonprofit, and private partners.
- Form and manage Leaders in Energy and Preservation, the coalition of energy industry and preservation leaders devising voluntary practices that manage risk and protect significant historic sites.
- Lead the civil rights lawsuit in federal court on behalf of an American Indian tribe against the State of New Jersey for undermining state recognition of the tribe.
- Advised foreign governments seeking international cooperation on strategies for protecting their cultural heritage sites at risk of looting.
- Negotiated settlement related to wind energy development on behalf of two preservation organizations pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
- Protected the Black Creek Site, a major Native American archaeological and sacred site, through 5-years of precedent-setting litigation – now a state park.

After a long layoff due to the NHL lockout, the Chicago Blackhawks have come into this season by storm and are hitting on all cylinders.
The Blackhawks are now 3-0 after pulling out a close victory at home last night against the St. Louis Blues, 3-2. With impressive play from Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa and Jonathan Toews, Chicago is beginning to look like the team that won it all in 2010.
It's early in the 48-game schedule, but the Blackhawks could be eyeing their second Stanley Cup in four years. Here are a few factors that could get them back to the Final this season.

Bharti Infratel plans to launch IPO in December, aims at raising Rs 4,000 crore
"The company has received Sebi's final observation and is gearing up to open the book for anchor investors on December 10 and for the public the next day," an investment banker said on condition of anonymity because he is involved in the process. Sebi does not formally clear public offerings, though it does come up with observations that bankers to the issue have to respond to.
If successful, this would be first large public issue after Coal India raised Rs 15,200 crore in October 2010. Since then, India's IPO market has frozen with 51 companies pulling out proposed initial offers after January 2011. Of these, over 20 were in 2012.
The pricing is expected to be in the range of Rs 210-230 per share, which is similar to what a clutch of investors paid for buying into the company in December 2007. Bharti Infratel had then raised $1.25 billion from a group of private equity firms that had bought a 13.9% stake at Rs 220 a share.
The PE firms were Temasek, The Investment Corporation of Dubai, Goldman Sachs, Macquarie, Citigroup & India Equity Partners and KKR. "The final price band is likely to be announced in December first week. However, with feedback from the overseas road show, the IPO price is expected to be under Rs 230 per share," said another banker involved in the process.
The Bharti spokesperson declined to comment. The proposed issue will mark Bharti Group's return to the capital market after a gap of 10 years. The issue comprises 188.9 million shares, including a fresh issue of 146.23 million shares by Bharti Infratel and a secondary sale of 42.67 million shares by four private equity firms, namely Temasek Holding, Goldman Sachs, Anadale and Nomura. It will result in a 10% dilution or increase in the number of shares.
Bharti Infratel would retain a little over three-fourths of the issue proceeds while one-fourth will be distributed among the PE firms. After the IPO, Bharti Airtel's stake will come down to 79.42% from the current level of 86.09% in the tower arm while PE firms will own 10.58% of Bharti Infratel, down from 13.91%.
Bharti Infratel owns 33,660 mobile phone towers besides a 42% stake in Indus Towers, the world's largest tower firm, which is a three-way joint venture with Vodafone and Idea Cellular. Since the filing of the draft red herring prospectus on November 14, Bharti Airtel's shares price has gained 21% to close at Rs 308.20 on Thursday on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
Last fiscal, Bharti Infratel reported a net profit of Rs 687 crore on a turnover of Rs 9,511 crore, which includes proportionate share of its revenues in Indus Towers. Bharti Airtel owns towers in 11 circles in addition to the stake in Indus Towers, which has a portfolio of 109,318 towers.
