Budget can only indirectly influence the road to recovery: Sanjay Banerji
Is the Union Budget 2013-14 the right thing for India?
Is the Union Budget 2013-14 the right thing for India? Professor of Finance at Nottingham University Business School Sanjay Banerji shared his perspective in an interaction with IBNLive readers.
Q. Taxing the super-rich is ok but can this type of budget lead the road to recovery? It's good that garments, handloom products and coir became cheaper and tobacco products, AC hotels became costlier. Asked by: Sathyaki
A. Budget can only indirectly influence the road to recovery. For example, by making better infrastructure in road, ports, increasing connectives etc. Taxing super rich is just a gimmick as there are little more than 40, 000 of them and benefits to a particular sector in the form of tax reduction will make a one shot change in investment. But for growth, we need a permanent rise in investment which is not within Budget's capability. It's main aim for now is to reduce deficits, given political and international ( rating agency) constraints.
Q. No change in tax slab, medical benefits and transportation for the middle class? Inspite of the hype, could the FM had made changes to these to encourage people to spend money in the market? Asked by: EMathew
A. There are some sops for middle class, especially for the first time home buyers and and some deductions upto a limit but the effective demand will partly also depend on the growth of income and employment. It's not clear how the twin objectives of increased employment and output will be achieved.
Q. Is the Union Budget 2013-14 the right thing for India? Asked by: Harry
A. See, there were two objectives. 1, To keep most of the people ( especially in the rural areas) happy and two, to reduce BOP and fiscal deficits. Otherwise, rating agencies would downgrade ratings, lead to larger borrowing costs from the international markets, leading to a decline in foreign investment. So, the budget addresses there two concerns by allocating more in the rural welfare schemes but reducing subsidies in petro- related products ( that depend upon dollar)and reducing planned expenditure. It's ok but FM could have been more imaginative!!
Q. Do you believe that the Direct Benefit Transfer has the potential to boost Indian Banking sector in a big way especially in rural areas? Asked by: Bhumish Khudkhudia
A. Certainly so. If this together with Adhar( unique identity scheme) works, it might bring miracles not just to the Banking sector but the rest of the economy as well by simply stopping leakages. By the way, banking penetration in India is awfully weak (meaning poorer people's use of banking). Mindless RBI regulations are partly responsible. But still, you are right because these are supply side (supply of banking products and activities) but what you are referring to demand side, that would go up and it's certainly beneficial for the banking of all kinds.
Q. What is the bigger implications of Budget 2013 for the Indian economy? Asked by: Sunil
A. See, the Budget unlike a decade ago, can not have direct impact on the growth of the economy, partly because it depends on international economy (with globalisation) and investment of the private sector, that depends on state of infrastructure and ease of raising finance. However, the Budget has an important signalling part like avoiding wrong kind of taxation to multi-nationals ( retro tax on Vodafone) or commitment towards reforms etc. to investors both home and abroad. The FM has already started doing it ( through retail trade etc.) and budget outlined continuity. In that sense, the investors can regain confidence in the political process. Hence, its an indirect impetus and so far, its not a bad one.
Q. Is the Income Tax surcharge on the super-rich the right way? Asked by: RK
A. See that those people are 40,00 in number and increased 5 per cent surcharge implies almost a drop in the whole budget. But what is needed is reform of the tax codes, rationalization of corporate taxes and stopping the loopholes ( like avoiding tax with an headquarter in some vague country), These steps are more essentials. From the fairness point of view its ok, but my suspicion is that the super-rich will pay lawyers more to find escape routes.
Q. Talking about "The National Electronics Policy 2012". Is the Government trying make India an electronic hub like Thailand or Taiwan? Asked by: Agni Tripathi
A. I have heard ( not in budget but in other contexts), India is planning to have a huge penetration in Telecom but sure with ITs. But I guess that we, in India, have a strong potential for making IT hub privately as well and will partly depend on speedier global recovery.
Q. What impact will be on IT sector and computer parts rates? Asked by: mohit lakhmani
A. Not much because mostly it will depend on sector specific( IT) demand and supply shock while the budget covers economy wide plans.
Q. If there is "permanent surcharge" on super rich, on windfall gains, and on companies that enjoyed tax holidays in the past (say one decade), no FM will have to announce surprise surcharges. Comment. Asked by: Shilpa
A. I think that I just have answered this question, just a while ago in this forum.
Q. Will the Direct Cash Transfer boost Indian Banking Sector in a big way? Asked by: Bhumish Khudkhudia
A. I did answer this as well.
Q. If the super rich contribute the 10 per cent surcharge amount in their respective NGOs or for charity, will they be exempted from it? Asked by: RK
A. There are already tax exemptions for social activities by the Corporations. They can take advantage of it. But I think that they will have some other way of showing lesser income. Rich people never pay taxes anywhere in the world!! Its a reality.
Q. How all women bank will boost the economy. Asked by: sarin
A. There are plenty of smart women around our country. All we have to do is to search and recruit them. BTW, the smashing success of Grameen Bank in Bangladesh and other places around the world was due to ( to a large extent) the money by the bank was targeted to the women member of the family. The result was: almost no default and enhanced welfare for the family. One could replicate that.
Q. In the back drop of UK and other European countries economic situations and the measures they have been toying with how you will rank the Indian Budget and FM's efforts? Asked by: Hari
A. See, Europe and UK have their problems and there is not much our FM can do about it. Like euro crisis or Spanish debt etc. But if our FM means what he says about boosting infrastructure, India will go a long way because we have a huge internal market to cater unlike china that primarily depends on export. However, most of such work is outside the budget when the economy moves on it own.

The advisor)' was handed down by the Department of State Health Services following testing of Canyon Lake fish by state environmental officials in 2003 and 2005. More rcxient tests have nc)t lm*n conducted by the state and the advisory will remain in effect pending additional testing, according to Debbie Magin, director of water ciualitv servicers for Guadalupe Blanco River Authority. The warning advisees that adults not consume more than two 8-ounce servings per month of striped bass or longnosed gar caught from C'anyon Lake. For children under 12, the suggested limit is two 4-ounce portions [>er month. No consumption at all is advised for pregnant women and women of chilcl-bearing age. It is believe>d that exce^ss consumption of mercury can re'sult in such things as cancer, h('art prob lems, depression, memory k)ss, hair k)ss and more.

He is using pweights with both approaches though, right? And the
coefficients will come out the same, I believe. Actually, I have
wondered much the same thing. When using pw with regular commands, is
Stata giving you some statistics it shouldn't? Or conversely, when
using svy, is it sometimes holding back on reporting statistics that
are legitimate? I am not sure why pseudo r2 would be legitimate with
one of the approaches but not the other.

|Rondo added to Team USA roster
|07.15.10 at 5:56 pm ET
NBA.com reports Rajon Rondo was added to the 2010-12 USA Basketball men's national team roster used to select teams for the 2010 FIBA (International Basketball Federation) World Championship and the 2012 Olympics in London.
Rondo expressed his excitement via Twitter: "Playing for Team USA this summer. Looking forward to repping our country."
The Celtics 6-foot-1 guard joins Mavericks center Tyson Chandler and Suns center Robin Lopez, bringing the Team USA player count to 24.
All three additions are expected to participate in the team's training camp in Las Vegas next week, culminating with the 2010 USA Basketball Showcase July 24.
NBA.com confirms the following players will participate in the camp, which runs July 19-24: Chauncey Billups (Denver Nuggets), Chandler, Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors), Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City Thunder), Tyreke Evans (Sacramento Kings), Rudy Gay (Memphis Grizzlies), Eric Gordon (Los Angeles Clippers), Danny Granger (Indiana Pacers), Jeff Green (Oklahoma City Thunder), Andre Iguodala (Philadelphia 76ers), David Lee (Golden State Warriors), Brook Lopez (New Jersey Nets), Lopez, Kevin Love (Minnesota Timberwolves), O.J. Mayo (Memphis Grizzlies), Lamar Odom (Los Angeles Lakers), Rondo, Derrick Rose (Chicago Bulls), Amar'e Stoudemire (New York Knicks), Gerald Wallace (Charlotte Bobcats), and Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder).
Rondo led the Celtics to the NBA finals last year, averaging 13.7 points and 4.4 rebounds in the regular season.
Rondo has some experience with USA Basketball after playing for the 2005 USA U-21 World Championship Team that went 7-1 and finished fifth. Rondo recorded 27 steals (3.4 spg) to lead the team and set a new USA U-21 record that year.
The FIBA World Championship takes place in Ankara, Istanbul, Izmir and Kayseri, Turkey, from Aug. 28 to Sept. 12. The U.S. will open the 2010 World Championships Aug. 28 against Croatia, which has never faced the Americans in championship play but has an 0-3 record against them in the Olympics.
The USA has won 10 medals in the World Championship — three gold medals (1954, 1986 and 1994), three silver medals (1950, 1959 and 1982) and four bronze medals (1974, 1990, 1998 and 2006).
USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said Rondo initially declined the invitation to participate in February, when the roster was first constructed, but that some miscommunication may have been behind it.
Colangelo said in a statement, 'Tyson, Robin and Rajon are outstanding additions to the national team and they help give us the talent and depth required in making sure we field the very best USA Basketball teams possible.'
Players selected in the Las Vegas training camp will regroup in New York to train more next month and compete in the first-ever World Basketball Festival, a four-day basketball bonanza, put on by Nike and USA Basketball, celebrating the performance and the culture surrounding the sport, before they fly overseas for the World Championship.
|Joe Smith traded to Hornets
|02.17.09 at 4:15 pm ET
First Dikembe Mutombo re-signed with the Houston Rockets. The Alonzo Mourning retired. This afternoon ESPN reported the Oklahoma City Thunder traded Joe Smith to the New Orleans Hornets as part of a deal for Tyson Chandler. And like that, three potential big men acquisitions for the Boston Celtics were off the market.
There had been much speculation that the Thunder would buy out Smith, allowing him to sign with another team. However they shot down those talks weeks ago and held on to Smith for trade bait. Smith offers a P.J. Brown-like mid-range game, versatility that proved critical for the Celtics in last season's playoffs. The Cs traded Sam Cassell today to the Sacramento Kings, making room if they decided to add another player for the postseason. The NBA trade deadline is Thursday.

My Cider Smells Like Farts...
Posted 14 July 2009 - 04:58 AM
I have since learned that I was probably a bit short on nitrogen during the ferment and that some DAP may have avoided this.. but too late for that now.
Question is - is it like a lager?? Will that sulphury farty smell go away? Could I blow it all off by bubbling through some CO2?? Or am I stuck with and have learned a valuable lesson for next time?
Posted 14 July 2009 - 05:02 AM
Posted 14 July 2009 - 06:02 AM
Still not to late for the DAP?? Or maybe I feed it some DAP and a little fresh juice??
Posted 14 July 2009 - 07:07 AM
Spoke with John at G&G about it, a couple of things were mentioned, once was nutrients, two was the yeast i used (Red Star??? supplied/recommended by BrewCraft before i knew better)

Whatever you do don't tip it - cellar time will cure its ills. Has worked for me.
Edit - FYI - My cider finished dry like yours, darn close to and FG of 1 and used real apples.

Ok, so what exactly was said about nutrients ? Too much, too little, wrong type ?
Spoke with John at G&G about it, a couple of things were mentioned, once was nutrients,
I made a cider and used nutrient salts instead of dead yeast, and also ended up with the pong quite bad. It dissipated after three months cellaring at room temperature, to the point where, as discussed above, you would have to really be searching to detect it (SWMBO swore off it, because of the initial smell - ho hum that meant more for me !)

Ok, so what exactly was said about nutrients ? Too much, too little, wrong type ?
Too little and possibly not the right type. This was back when i thought i wqas getting good information from BrewCraft and the nutrient used was their generic one. John was also quite negative about the Red Star yeast provided (again Brewcraft recommendation).
(Not trying to bash BC here, thats been done plenty elsewhere, and i was too green to know any better at the time).

what temp u ferment at CB ?
Cheers Vice
Around 20C just like an ale. Went from 1.050 down to 1.005 in about 5 days. Chilled, transferred to secondary and added gelatine to fine it more. Ended up being quite a dry cider which those that have tasted have thoroughly enjoyed.
Nutrients was this stuff http://www.craftbrew...ils.asp?PID=951
Posted 15 July 2009 - 01:50 AM
Yeast was from brewcraft - their brand of sparkling/champagne yeast. Sounds like that might be part of the problem along with no DAP - I did use some yeast nutrient (wyeast) though.
It has fermneted dry as dry could be, which is what I wanted. The object being to stabilise with sorbate/potassium met and back sweeten with juice and or other stuff at varying levels. Force carb for sparkle.
I only have 4L and just want to muck about a bit with flavours. I wont be lagering this or anything - I will screw up my nose, ignore the farts and work on flavours. Next time, different yeast, a bit of DAP and a bigger batch with storage time.
Thanks for your input guys

Ciders do have a tendency to give off apple farts - cellaring will allow that to dissipate.
However with a recent store juice + fresh apple (juiced) + water + lactose brew I made that didn't use anything to kill off wild yeasts, I had a drinkable cider in weeks. No sulphur. I fermented with white wine yeast using a method comparable to lager (long slow ferment, cold conditioing at 2 deg etc) Next one will be all apples plus lactose (no need for water), using a similar method
My method that I'll be exploring (follows from those so far tried)
Allow juice to clarify 48 hours in sanitised fermenter.
Rack, leaving behind crusty foam.
Add yeast @ 18 deg, allow to drop to 12 -14.
Add lactose (200g for sweetening)
Ferment 2 weeks or more.
Cold Condition 7-14 days.
Bottle and cellar three months.

I had posted before but was not on the Macbook but on the wife's Windows notebook. It dropped connection to the DLink router as I hit post then when I told it to repair the wireless connection it locked up the entire computer and everything was lost I'm just not used to having issues like this anymore
I'll do a quick summarisation because Windows has taken the enthusiasm out of building a big reply.
If you have sulphur early on during fermentation that you are in better luck than if you get sulphur like smells after fermentation is complete.
My signature rotates a lot of yeast information. Before it rotated to the current list of information it covered off sulphur being expelled by the yeast cells because they have not built up the internal SO2 capability due to lack of proper nutrients.
Some yeast strains are noted for their tendencies to give off SO2 but this is not guaranteed as each wort/must is different make up so some people get it, some people don't with the same yeast.
Some but not all SO2 can be driven off through bulk aging.
If you are drinking the fermented beverage young, say in a month or so. Then SO2 can be driven off through splashing. A good whip like a lees stirrer on the end of an electric drill will do the job.
If you are a beer brewer with a kegging setup then you can bubble CO2 from your CO2 tank through the fermented beverage to drive SO2 out of solution.
Hydrogen Peroxide will also remove SO2 from solution. The stuff is just Water with an extra oxygen atom attached so its less stable and gives off the extra atom which is how it works. But that process is oxidating
If you are talking about a more burnt rubber-bands type smell from after fermentation, its rare but could be methanethiol. And you are not going to have much luck removing it. Bulk aging will help some but not all but thats really CH3SH and not SO2.
I have thought up, but not built. A system which is basically like the two rubbish bins attached end on end sold at Bunnings as a garden mulch system. Its on a pivot system so you can spin it around and around to help mix the mulch. Instead I envisioned a fermenter with two holes, and two one way valves. One lets you pump CO2 from the tank into the fermenter displacing the air which escapes the other valve. Then after flushing out the air you can spin the fermenter to your hearts content and bring SO2 out of solution. Then more CO2 in flushes out CO2+SO2. Rinse, repeat until no detectable sulphur.

Bad egg odour is caused by Hydrogen Sulphide H2S Linky
H2S is water soluble but the levels found in yeast fermentation are miniscule.
Maybe there is also a compound in apples or fruit that easily breaks down into H2S +
Sodium metabisulphate for "sanatising" gives off Sulphur Dioxide S02 which dissolved in water produces a mixture of Sulphuric and Sulphurous acid hence the irritant if inhaled as the gas is poisonous and also produces acid in the nasal and mucous tracts.
Posted 17 July 2009 - 04:58 PM
You also have methionine and cysteine which are sulphur amino acids, which are biosynthesised by the yeast itself and the cells recycling of organic sulfur metabolites. But the short story is the breakdown in the process from lack of nutrients creates for the expulsion from the cell of the sulphur.
Any further detailed investigation leads to Cbf1p-Met4p-Met28p complex metabolism and this level even makes my eyes roll
Brewer Pete
Posted 17 July 2009 - 05:35 PM
In the meantime BP has given me the info I wanted to hear - This brew has only small traces of your typical matchstrike sulphitic stuff - it has a decent amount of H2S though. Which I was pretty sure you could (at least partially) manually drive off by shaking/beating/stirring - or as I asked earlier on... bubbling through C02.
Now that BP has confirmed this for me... its all action stations. I was planning on force carbonating and probably filtering this cider anyway .. so it gets to spend an hour or two in the keg getting CO2 bubbled through it with my airstone. What this doesn't fix .. I will put up with.
Next time i will choose my yeast more carefully and be more careful with the nitrogen content of my nutrients. So it wont be a problem in the future.
Thanks for your help guys. I 'll let you know how it turns out.

Seems to be some confusion between different substances.
Bad egg odour is caused by Hydrogen Sulphide H2S Linky
H2S is water soluble but the levels found in yeast fermentation are miniscule.
Maybe there is also a compound in apples or fruit that easily breaks down into H2S +
Sodium metabisulphate for "sanatising" gives off Sulphur Dioxide S02 which dissolved in water produces a mixture of Sulphuric and Sulphurous acid hence the irritant if inhaled as the gas is poisonous and also produces acid in the nasal and mucous tracts.
The only times my cider has produced an eggy smell was when I used sodium or potassium met (once mistakenly as a no rinse sanitiser with a kit and once as a wild yeast inhibitor with a juice/fresh apple brew). I haven't brewed masses of the stuff but skipping the campden last time resulted in clean, beautiful cider within weeks. Any improvements required
(and there are many) didn't involve sulphur or egg of any kind.

A week in the life of actor and bro, Tim Carlsen.
Friday night drinks? Meet me at: The back deck at my flat with friends - sorry winter, you can't stop me.
Where I'll be wearing my new: ... (aka second-hand) winter jacket that desperately needs to be introduced to a tailor.
And this weekend I'm planning on: Learning lines, catching up with friends and ducking off to Auckland's west coast - rain, hail or shine.
But first I'll need to refuel at my favourite cafe: Good One.
Saturday evening. If my dreams came true there would be a gig by: This is a tough one! I'll roll with whatever comes to mind first...
Alive - The Cinematic Orchestra; Dead - Johnny Cash
But if there's nothing else doing I'll probably just: Listen to some records - accompanied by a coffee - and write.
On my stereo/headphones right now is: The soundtrack to the spaghetti western film A Fistful of Dollars.
The books I can't put down are: I need to pick one up first - the one that's looking at me right now is The Creative Habit.
The TV show I take the phone off the hook for: I don't watch a lot of TV at the moment... but a DVD would be Kaikohe Demolition.
The movie I've been dying to see: Las Acacias.
A non-cooking Monday night means takeaways from: Khyber Spice supermarket in Sandringham - you never know what's going to be at the counter.
Or a splash-out Wednesday night restaurant would be: Ebisu.

Consider combining your wedding and honeymoon for a low-key destination wedding or elopement! Inviting just a few close friends and family to celebrate your commitment in a beautiful spot ends up being more meaningful (and relaxing!).
Choose a gorgeous hotel and use that as your backdrop as well as lodging for your stay! Rates are often cheaper for large groups and in the off-season.
Make your destination wedding thoughtful and fun by choosing a stunning setting for you and your guests to enjoy. This hotel in Santorini, Greece, is naturally beautiful, with stunning views, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable. It makes the perfect backdrop for a relaxed event. For this wedding story, we were inspired by the sea-blue paint, gorgeous island backdrop, white stucco, and olive topiaries scattered around the hotel.
The groom wore a simple blue shirt and rolled up jeans while the bride wore a vintage dress we found at a local shop for $35! The morning of, we gathered olive branches from a local olive grove and wrapped a simple bouquet in white ribbon. The couple went barefoot to keep things lighthearted and fun!
Enjoy a simple ceremony and celebration with your friends and then you and your spouse can linger for a week or so longer and enjoy a honeymoon!
A few things to consider for an destination wedding or elopement:
1. Every country has different rules + regulations regarding marriage ceremonies.
2. Sometimes, you must marry in your own country first.
3. Be sure to research your location or talk with a wedding planner before you plan your event.
Wherever you choose to go, it's sure to be full of memories and relaxation!

In simple words, if you download a Linux Distro and the md5sum result matches the one provided by the web site, your file has practically been downloaded OK.
So, how do we do this md5sum?

text: Angie Ngoc Double major in Interior Design and Furniture Design, Savannah College of Art and Design * required fields From* To* Message cancel Concept Statement: Technology connects people from anywhere and everywhere, but at the same time isolates individuals from the real world, causing them to have a lack of intimacy. In this new era of technology when everything becomes more convenient, physical experiences are fading away. As a response to that problem, Solestruck's retail store proposes a new way to apply technology. Inspired by the innovation of New York City, the store conveys its branding by embodying an avant-garde attitude within its design. Selections of materials, technology and furniture are considered within the context of this concept. The design incentive is to create a unique customer experience. Solestruck is a hot-spot for trend spotters and shoe-lovers alike. Through new technologies, the store provides convenient shopping methods, creating a great customer experience and, in turn, satisfaction. It also has an awe-striking first impression, which will draw them back. Moreover, the customers are encouraged to interact and socialize with each other, which helps nurture their real-life relationships. Solestruck's design intent is to provide a high-technology store—an embodiment of New York culture—and a community connection point. View Angie Ngoc's Concept and Inspiration poster

Lorine Niedecker: Collected Works
by Lorine Niedecker
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A sort of crabbed, recalcitrant playfulness ... The poems move in fits and starts, and always seem to be searching ways to avoid song (which is not the same as being without song). Rather than being grand, there's something withholding about the lacunae that fill up these pages.
In the past, I've enjoyed Niedecker's poetry in bits and pieces, here and there as I came to it, so it took me quite some time to get around to this collection. As a whole, though, the collected works read quickly and serve as a majestic and provoking journey through her years of writing. I'm not sure how often I'll come back to many of these poems, but there are many moments here that I'll remember and revisit. And, though I've only been aware of Niedecker's poetry in the past, I truly enjoyed the other works in this collection. Her essays are historical and transporting, utterly worth the read, maybe particularly for readers interested in character sketches or writing about their own families or surroundings. The gem of the collection, however, is the radio play that Niedecker based off of William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying. I'm not sure how I'd feel about it if I hadn't read the novel--my guess is that I wouldn't have been anywhere near so affected by it, though I may be wrong--but as it stands, even though I haven't read Faulkner's novel in at least five years, I found this one of the most powerful pieces of writing I've read in ages. Only about twenty very small (and doublespaced pages) in the collection, the radio play is packed with power--every word counts. Absolutely amazing. If you're a fan of Faulkner, honestly, whether you like poetry or not--this collection is worth your time and energy just for her prose and radio plays.
Simply? There's something for most readers here. Recommended.
"I can always go back to fertilization, kimonos, wrap-arounds and diatribes."
Rarely does a single volume of poetry radically change the prevailing view of its author. Lorine Niedecker: Collected Works, superbly edited by Jenny Penberthy, is such a book. It is, at last, the long-awaited necessity: an accurate, reliable, full text of this important modernist writer's oeuvre. Its value is not to be underestimated.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0520224345, Paperback)
"The Brontës had their moors, I have my marshes," Lorine Niedecker wrote of flood-prone Black Hawk Island in Wisconsin, where she lived most of her life. Her life by water, as she called it, could not have been further removed from the avant-garde poetry scene where she also made a home. Niedecker is one of the most important poets of her generation and an essential member of the Objectivist circle. Her work attracted high praise from her peers--Marianne Moore, William Carlos Williams, Louis Zukofsky, Cid Corman, Clayton Eshleman--with whom she exchanged life-sustaining letters. Niedecker was also a major woman poet who interrogated issues of gender, domesticity, work, marriage, and sexual politics long before the modern feminist movement. Her marginal status, both geographically and as a woman, translates into a major poetry.
Niedecker's lyric voice is one of the most subtle and sensuous of the twentieth century. Her ear is constantly alive to sounds of nature, oddities of vernacular speech, textures of vowels and consonants. Often compared to Emily Dickinson, Niedecker writes a poetry of wit and emotion, cosmopolitan experimentation and down-home American speech.
This much-anticipated volume presents all of Niedecker's surviving poetry, plays, and creative prose in the sequence of their composition. It includes many poems previously unpublished in book form plus all of Niedecker's surviving 1930s surrealist work and her 1936-46 folk poetry, bringing to light the formative experimental phases of her early career. With an introduction that offers an account of the poet's life and notes that provide detailed textual information, this book will be the definitive reader's and scholar's edition of Niedecker's work.

California has experienced below average rainfall for the last three years, and most major reservoirs in the state are currently at only 50% capacity.
Most Rev. Jaime Soto, bishop of Sacramento, composed a prayer for relief from the drought, which includes the following supplication:
"May God open the heavens and let his mercy rain down upon our fields and mountains. Let us especially pray for those most impacted by water shortages and for the wisdom and charity to be good stewards of this precious gift."

Cavaliers 87, Wizards 84
Associated Press | Last updated December 26, 2012
Tristan Thompson's three-point play with 24.4 seconds remaining gave the Cleveland Cavaliers their first two-game winning streak of the season as the Cavaliers beat the Washington Wizards 87-84 on Wednesday night. Kyrie Irving, who had 26 points to lead Cleveland, made one of two free throws with 9.5 seconds left after Jordan Crawford and Garrett Temple missed jumpers for the Wizards. Crawford made two free throws with 8.5 seconds left to cut the lead to 86-84. Irving hit one of two, and Crawford missed a 3-pointer as time ran out. Irving had 20 of his 26 points in the first half for the Cavaliers, who improved to 7-23. Two of their wins are against Washington, losers of eight straight. Thompson had a season-high 15 points and 12 rebounds. Crawford and Emeka Okafor led the Wizards with 17 points and Nene had 16. Washington took a 79-73 lead with 6:20 to play, but Cleveland scored nine straight points to take an 82-79 lead with 3:37 left. The Wizards were held scoreless for 4 1-2 minutes until Okafor hit a hook shot with 1:50 to play to cut the Cavaliers' lead to 82-81. Irving missed two free throws with 1:01 to play, and Okafor hit one of two with 46.2 seconds to play for an 82-all tie. The Wizards broke on top 22-10 with 4:51 to play in the first quarter, thanks to Nene's 10 points. Cleveland's Irving had 12 of his 20 first-half points in the second quarter to help the Cavaliers grab a 45-43 halftime lead. Washington started Shelvin Mack at the point. It was Mack's first NBA start. The second-year guard had been cut by the Wizards at the end of training camp, and re-signed on Tuesday after a strong stint in the D-League. Mack was starting because Crawford was late to Wednesday's shootaround according to a team source. Before the game, Washington coach Randy Wittman said that Crawford was benched for a violation of team rules. The Wizards scored 12 straight points to take a 62-53 lead with just over 7 minutes left in the third quarter with Mack hitting consecutive 3-pointers. Irving missed all five of his field goal attempts in the third quarter, but hit two free throws to tie the score at 68-all to end the period. NOTES: Shaun Livingston, who was waived after Saturday's game by the Wizards, was on the Cavaliers' bench after his Tuesday signing. Coach Byron Scott said he would evaluate Livingston, who's playing with his seventh NBA team, after Thursday's practice. ... Cleveland C Anderson Varejao missed his fourth game with a bruised right knee. Scott said he would be evaluated on Thursday. ... Temple, who signed on Tuesday, had two points.

Hi Cara,
Novartis submitted a copy of the study report (Technical Report RT 08/338 - Leachable studies report for MenCWY Liquid filled in vials - time point 12 months) and is reported in Module 3.2.P.2.4 (MenCWYLiquid). Their response adequately addresses the request for information.
The amount of --b(4)-------------------- as reported in Novartis' study report is actually 106 ---b(4)---------------------------------------------- as it was reported previously to the toxicology team.
No component of this product is present at levels greater than or equal to -b(4)- or is identified as a probable, possible or confirmed human carcinogen by lARC, ACGIH, NTP, and OSHA standards. However, --b(4)----------- is, as it was reported by OSHA, harmful by ingestion, toxic by skin absorption, and an irritant. -----b(4)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taking into consideration the low level of this compound as reported in Novartis' extraction study and nature of its toxicities, this level of --b(4)----------------- does not possess a safety concern.

The Cham Museum:
Beauty and Heritage at Risk
by Nathan Lauer
The Kingdom of Champa, which flourished in central Vietnam from around the 7th to the 15th century, was the home of art and architecture unlike that found anywhere else. Drawing on influences from their Hindu-Buddhist religion as well as from Indonesia and the Khmer Empire, the Cham created a unique art tradition remarkable for its richness and individuality.
As Vietnam continues to grow and to become an increasingly important player on the world stage, the world will take greater notice of the art history of the Cham as well as other aspects of Vietnamese art and history. Now is the time to pay increased attention to conservation, preservation, and display both in order to encourage international appreciation for the works of the Cham as well as for the sake of the art itself.
One of four UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Vietnam, the Cham Museum is also one of the biggest tourist attractions in the central region. Housed in a wonderful example of early 20th century architecture, it provides the visitor with the rare opportunity to survey one of the most beautiful art traditions of the region, if not the world. It is also a tradition underrepresented in most of the world's museums, which only enhances its status as a must see destination for anyone visiting Vietnam.
Most of the collection to be seen at the museum is in the form of Hindu – Buddhist sculpture in sandstone. Dating primarily to between the 8th and 14th century, these pieces represent the single greatest assemblage of Cham art in any museum in the world. Unfortunately, many of them are in crisis. Stone is not the indestructible material it seems to be, and erosion by wind and water, biological agents, mineral salts, and pollution all play a part in slowly turning it into the dirt and sand we see around us. Normally this takes a great amount of time, but recent increases in industrial activity, traffic, and tourism are combining to accelerate this process.
Sandstone is comparatively porous by its nature and has a matrix that is usually base or a little alkaline. This makes it somewhat soft, which is the very reason for its use in art. It is easy to carve, yet can hold detail. Some types are also able to achieve a certain degree of polish. Yet the very factors that made sandstone preferable for use by the Cham and other cultures make it particularly susceptible to damage, and the detail of sculpture can be easily lost. Following is a list of specific environmental hazards affecting the collection of the Cham Museum.
- Moisture: Moisture, whether directly in the form of rain or indirectly in the form of humidity, is the father of most of the hazards to sandstone art. Rain mechanically removes surface material and weakens the subsurface structure of the stone. Due to pollution, it is also acidic. Runoff brings with it mineral salts. The presence of general humidity and moisture encourage the growth of biologically erosive agents.
- Fungi and Lichens: These are particularly troublesome in a tropical area such as Vietnam. Both mechanically penetrate the rock with a pseudo root system (thallus and hyphae), and produce acidic compounds to assist in this.
- Bacteria: Autotrophic, heterotrophic, and cyano bacterium all have the potential to cause great harm to sandstone. They produce acidic compounds, and because of their small size, can penetrate deeply into the stone. As they form colonies, they expand and contract depending on environmental conditions, which mechanically weaken the stone and can cause cracking.
- Salts: Borne by air or water, nitrates and sulfates can contaminate stone. As the crystals form, they inherently expand, mechanically disrupting the matrix of sandstone. Sulfate salts also further increase the hydration of the stone.
- Pollution: Whether airborne or in the form of acid rain, pollutants cause both aesthetic and integral problems in sandstone sculpture. Sulfur and nitrogen oxides as well as carbon dioxide all form acidic compounds, particularly in the presence of humidity and moisture.
- Human touch: Beyond the mechanical erosion that repeated touching causes, human touch leaves behind acids, salts, and oils that stain and damage the surface of stone.
Each piece is different and has been exposed differently to the various hazards listed above. Because of this, the treatment of specific pieces will have to be considered individually by someone knowledgeable in the area of conservation. That being said, there are a number of relatively inexpensive actions that can be performed immediately to halt or slow the damage to the collection.
Moisture needs to be controlled. Displayed outside on the grounds of the museum are a number of valuable pieces that are essentially rotting away due to the combination of rain, organic infection, and pollution. Because the interior of the museum is already overcrowded and bringing them inside would no doubt be impractical, they need to be sheltered in some other fashion.
For the statues not attached to the building, small and inexpensive gazebo-like structures could be built in traditional style and at little cost. These would protect from the rain and much of the pollution, though the statues would still have to be cleaned and protected using other means. Anything that is on the ground needs to be displayed on pedestals to protect from runoff and other hazards.
There are also a number of architectural elements being stored outside. These should be warehoused elsewhere to protect them until a solution for their display is found.
Many statues have been attached to the building near doors as architectural decoration. These are subject to not only the rain, but runoff as well and they show increased damage because of it. These should be moved, or at least lifted from the ground and provided shelter from the rain. Moisture is also a problem inside of the museum. Not only can one see walls that are growing algae, but close inspection will note that some statues are soaked during the rainy season, and many more exhibit organic growth.
The presence of this moisture is due to both the climate and to flaws in the building. The humidity of the climate can't be controlled, but we can avoid its affects uses various methods of cleaning and the use of specific coatings as needed. This should be determined with the assistance of someone experienced with conservation principles and techniques.
The moisture caused by leaks within the building ought to be controlled as soon as possible. From what can be readily seen, this is primarily a matter of fixing the roof and preventing water from flowing within the walls of the building. However, for pieces that are set within the walls, removing them and displaying them on pedestals instead should be strongly considered. It also may be less expensive in the short term than working on the building, depending on the nature of the structural problems.
There are some pieces being held in glass or acrylic display cases. These cases are not sealed, and sometimes the humidity collects to the point that one cannot see inside because of the condensation that develops. If they are made of acrylic, glass would be preferable, as acrylic is slightly moisture permeable. If the cases are made of glass, they need to be dried and desiccants added to absorb any remaining moisture. The regular maintenance of the desiccant used should prevent this problem in the future. It would be very inexpensive, and anhydrous calcium sulfate might be a good choice as it quite safe and easy to use and recycle.
Possibly more dangerous than moisture to the interior pieces is the matter of human contact. A number of pieces, including some of the most famous, are noticeably smoothed and oiled due to human contact. Tourists and tour guides alike regularly handle pieces, and even climb them. The damage we can see now will eventually get much worse, and some relics that currently appear unharmed will soon start to show damage as well.
Because of this, the handling of the Cham relics by tourists and tour guides needs to be curtailed. The signs used to warn against touching objects are virtually invisible, and new ones are needed. Security staff needs to be made aware of the importance of this. Tour guides have to be informed of this directly as well.
Part of the problem is also a matter of a certain degree of overcrowding. The collection of the museum is vast, and the display could easily be trimmed both to the benefit of the pieces and of the viewer. So many pieces in one place can be confusing to the eye. The trouble would be what to do with the pieces removed from display. It may be possible to create a program to increase the loaning of pieces to other museums, either in the West or elsewhere in Asia. This would not only take care of part of the storage problem, but provide "advertising" for both the Cham Museum as well as for Vietnam as a whole.
Built in 1915, the building was designed by the French using Cham influence to compliment the collection. Given the climate, the history of the last 60 years, and rapid development it is remarkable that the building still exists. The size and extent of the collection that the Museum holds is evidence of the dedication of the Vietnamese to the maintenance of their history and culture, a fact which should be noted when considering the difficulties presented in this article. While the tropical climate has combined with more recent socio-economic developments to present these problems, the fact that the Cham Museum has continued to exist for almost 100 years is an accomplishment worthy of respect, not to mention a visit to admire the remarkable artifacts within.

Photo of Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford Auditioning for STAR WARS
Here's a cool vintage photo that reacently surfaced featuring Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford auditioning for George Lucas' Star Wars back in the 1970s. This is where it all started, and I'm so happy that they are a part of the the new Star Wars trilogy currently in production. It's going to be so freakin' awesome to see these characters back up on the big screen again after all these years. Thanks to Classic Star Wars for the photo!

First off, I want to thank you for visiting my page. It means a lot to me.
My name's Bridget and I am an optimist. I hate the sound of styrofoam when it squeaks. I always part my hair to the right and I constantly get lost in my thoughts. I firmly believe something can be two opposite things at once and there's nothing wrong with that. I love the rush you get from roller coaster and I'm probably one of the most competitive people you'll ever meet. I love making new friends and learning new things about my old friends. I have no problem making a speech or performing in front of a crowd just as long as you don't make me go up to the cashier at JCPenney's and ask her where I can find the restroom because I hate talking to strangers. I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up unless I were to get the rare opportunity be Belle or another one of those characters at Disney World because dream job and all you'd have to do is smile and sing and be nice to little kids who think the world of you and I can't imagine anything better. One thing I forgot to previously mention is my ability to make everything a run on sentence.
I've been a Taylor Swift fan since second grade when I heard Teardrops On My Guitar on the radio. I fell in love and Taylor has been the center of what I listen to for music and a major role model in my life ever since. My favorite thing about her is her unbelievable kindness to everyone in all situations and it really frustrates me when people insult her because it feels like they're insulting me and who I model myself at her. Everyone always tries to place her as one thing or another but I hate categorizing people because I just feel like she's Taylor and some of her music is pop and some of it is country and some of it is something I can't really define and that's how she is and I love that about her.
*I did not make any of these graphics.*
When I got tickets to see Taylor in concert in November I was extremely and started planning immediately. My best friend and I planned out the poster and the outfits, and everything else so ahead of time that when July came, I kept having mini panic attacks that things weren't going to go the way I planned them. The night before the concert I was so nervous I couldn't sleep, but I wan't quite...

Angry protests in Brazil have a sobering message about public spending on elite sporting success and grandiose sporting events - and one that New Zealand should heed.
Brazilians resent billions of dollars being spent running World Cup soccer, in a country that suffers from poor education, limited medical facilities and a rundown public transport system. As well as being an extraordinary sight in a country commonly considered to be football mad, the protests are a signal to all governments, including our own, that they should more carefully consider the costs and benefits of putting money into sporting goals that achieve a limited outcome.
Making Olympic and Commonwealth gold medals the major priority for elite sport funding in New Zealand has been a hugely influential decision by Sport New Zealand (SNZ). It's also one that's gained government support, in the form of $60 million a year, with an expectation that this will be increased in the 2014 Budget.
That priority should be given to winning medals should not be seen as a fact of life. It is a choice of decision-makers and, as such, should be open for discussion and debate. Rather like the title of Bruce Jesson's 1999 book Only Their Purpose is Mad, if the winning of Olympic and Commonwealth medals becomes the Holy Grail then all decisions made to achieve that goal make sense. The problem is, however, that these decisions have real-life consequences for many New Zealanders and for many sports.
Take surf lifesaving. After winning a world title last year, the organisation lost $380,000 or 54 per cent of its funding because it is not an Olympic sport. At the same time, equestrian sport, which gained a single bronze medal at the London Olympics, was awarded an extra $4 million, increasing its funding to $7.2 million.
Why is an Olympic bronze of greater value than a world championship title? Which sport contributes more benefit to the taxpayer? For SNZ to justify its decision by stating that surf lifesaving is not a "targeted sport", when SNZ decided in the first place which sports should be targeted, is disingenuous.
It is hard to see why the pursuit of Olympic and Commonwealth medals should take precedence over all other considerations.
The SNZ high-performance strategy states that winning in international events is important and that, among other things, it "encourages New Zealanders to be active". This would be more believable if SNZ's funding wasn't targeted at sports that are not easily accessible to many in New Zealand.
It is difficult to imagine that the extra money allocated to equestrian, for example, is going to lead to large numbers of Kiwi kids suddenly buying horses and taking up the sport.
Yachting gets $11.2 million of public money while basketball has recently had its funding cut, leaving the code struggling to run national team programmes. This is despite evidence from SNZ's 2012 sport and recreation survey that basketball, with soccer and tennis, is one of the three sports that most interest boys and girls of all ages. It is worrying that the very sports capturing young people's attention are the ones receiving limited funding.
In 2009, an Australian Government-commissioned report was critical of Australia's focus on winning Olympic medals and advocated spreading funding over a range of sports.
Olympic success has much to do with the feel-good factor - having success on the international stage is considered to make us feel a little better about ourselves and our country.
But is this feel-good factor enough to justify the financial commitment we are making or could the money be better spent on medicine, education or on programmes specifically designed to encourage more people to be active? We need to be debating these questions as a nation, keeping in mind that if the people of Brazil can turn against soccer, then just about anything is possible.
