Speaker: Danny Quah
In 2001, Goldman Sachs, the investment bank, coined the term BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China), arguing that by 2050 their combined economies would overtake that of the world's richest countries. The rise and rise of China has led to talk of the G2, while the continuing emergence of Asia, has led some to predict the predominance of 'Asian values' in the 21st century.
Professor Danny Quah, Professor of Economics and Co-Director, LSE Global Governance, examines Asia's phenomenal rise and her impact on the global stage.

Chair: Dr Bernardo Guimaraes
Watch: Video
Listen: Podcast
Professor Roubini, aka "Dr Doom", will launch his new book, Crisis Economics: A Crash Course in the Future of Finance (Penguin, 2010) in which he argues that financial crises are not unpredictable "black swan" events but, rather, can be forecast - in effect, they are "white swans".
Nouriel Roubini has extensive policy experience as well as broad academic credentials. From 1998-2000, he served as the Senior Economist for International Affairs at the White House Council of Economic Advisors and then the Senior Advisor to the Under Secretary for International Affairs at the U.S. Treasury Department, helping to resolve the Asian and global financial crises amongst other issues. The International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and numerous other prominent public and private institutions have also drawn upon his consulting expertise.
He has published over 70 theoretical empirical and policy papers on international macroeconomic issues and co-authored the books "Political Cycles: Theory and Evidence" (M.I.T. Press, 1997) and "Bailouts or Bail-ins? Responding to Financial Crises in Emerging Markets" (Institute for International Economics, 2004). Professor Roubini's views on global economics issues are widely cited by the media, and his blog was named one of 20 "must-read" sources by the WSJ.

John Lanchester is a British journalist, novelist and winner of the Whitbread Book Award. Author of the highly-acclaimed The Debt to Pleasure, John is a regular contributor to the London Review of Books and the New Yorker, with a monthly column in Esquire.
Has the credit crunch exposed the futility of academic economics? Has any collective body in the history of the world ever been exposed as "wronger" than economists? Should the LSE be closed down and converted into something more socially productive? In this debate John Lanchester challenges the profession of economics with fundamental questions about its purpose and direction.

Speakers: Paul Ormerod (Volterra Consulting); Geoffrey Hodgson, Professor of Business Studies, University of Hertfordshire and Editor-in-chief of the Journal of Institutional Economics; John Sutton, Sir John Hicks Professor of Economics, Department of Economics, LSE; Albert Marcet, Professor of Economics, LSE
Chair: Tim Besley, Kuwait Professor of Economics, Director of STICER, and Director of the Masters of Public Administration (MPA), LSE
The recent global crisis has led to questions being asked about whether the kind of economics being taught to students in leading economics departments was responsible for the widespread failure to predict the timing and magnitude of the events that unfolded in 2008. Critiques range from an absence of historical context in mainstream teaching of economics to excessive reliance on mathematical models. The panel brings together four leading economists to debate this issue and to discuss what changes in the economics curriculum and the way that it is delivered are desirable.

Date: Monday 9 November 2009
Time: 6.30-8pm
Venue: Peacock Theatre, Portugal Street
Speakers: Stephen J Dubner, Professor Steven D Levitt
Chair: Professor Steve Pischke
Freakonomics was a worldwide sensation, selling 4 million copies in 35 languages. Now, four years in the making, arrives the follow up: SuperFreakonomics. Steve Levitt and Stephen Dubner return with a book that is even bolder, funnier, and more surprising than the first. Freakonomics made the world safe to discuss the economics of crack cocaine and the impact of baby names. SuperFreakonomics retains that off-kilter sensibility (comparing, for instance, the relative dangers of driving while drunk versus walking while drunk) but also tackles a host of issues at the very centre of modern society: terrorism, global warming, altruism, and more.
Stephen J. Dubner is an award-winning author and journalist who lives in New York City. In addition to Freakonomics, he is the author of Turbulent Souls (Choosing My Religion), Confessions of a Hero-Worshiper, and a children's book, The Boy With Two Belly Buttons. His journalism has appeared primarily in the New York Times and the New Yorker, and has been anthologized in The Best American Sportswriting, The Best American Crime Writing, and elsewhere. He has taught English at Columbia University (while receiving an M.F.A. there), played in a rock band (which was signed to Arista Records), and, as a writer, was first published at the age of 11, in Highlights for Children.
Steven D. Levitt is the Alvin H. Baum Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago, where he is also director of The Becker Center on Chicago Price Theory. In 2004, he was awarded the John Bates Clark Medal, which recognizes the most influential economist in America under the age of 40. More recently, he was named one of Time magazine's "100 People Who Shape Our World." Levitt received his B.A. from Harvard University in 1989, his Ph.D. from M.I.T. in 1994, and has taught at Chicago since 1997.
The podcast for the Superfreakonomics lecture (Monday 9th November 2009) is now available from Public Lectures and Events: podcasts (Search under November 2009). For information on the event, please go to Superfreakonomics.

The collapse of Lehman Brothers on September 15, 2008 set off the most acute crisis in the history of capitalism since 1929. Why was Lehmans not saved? Why did its collapse have the massive impact it did? And a year on, how is the capitalist world coping?"
Andrew Gamble is a professor at Cambridge University. Will Hutton is chief executive of the Work Foundation. Danny Quah is professor of Economics at LSE.
This event is organised in association with the European Consortium for Political Research.

Date: Thursday 8 October 2009
Time: 4.45-6pm
Venue: New Theatre, East Building
Speaker: Professor Edward C. Prescott
The recent collapse of financial markets plunged economies around the world into recession. The series of events following the downfall of Lehman Brothers last September scripted an unprecedented chapter in economic history. Whether it was enormous bail-out packages, monetary policy or quantitative easing, economies around the world took expansive steps to stay afloat.
This leaves us in a very sensitive and interesting position today. Is the worst over? With US Federal Reserve chief Ben Bernanke declaring the end of the recession, will we see dissipating unemployment, growing GDPs and bullish stock markets? And most importantly, what changes, if any, will we see in economic policy? American economist and Nobel laureate, Edward Prescott, answers such imminent questions in his talk "The current state of the economy" at the LSE.
Edward Christian Prescott is a Professor at Arizona State University and shared the Nobel Prize for economics in 2004 for his work on the time consistency of economic policy and the driving force behind business cycles. As Prescott puts it in his prize speech at Stockholm, his paper 'Rules rather than discretion: The inconsistency of optimal plans' "transformed macroeconomic policy." Prescott also asserts the "evolution" of macroeconomics "from constructing a system of equations to an investigation of dynamic stochastic economies." It was after his joint research with Robert Lucas entitled "Investment under uncertainty" did Prescott abandon this system of equations approach. Today, he says, the question is not "what policy action is best", but rather "what policy rule to follow."
Interestingly, Edward Prescott was among the 100 economists who signed a statement criticizing Obama's proposed economic reforms during the US presidential elections. Prescott further went on to oppose Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in January 2009. An expert in the theory of business cycles and general equilibrium, Edward Prescott will give his interpretation of the precarious state of today's economy in his talk.

Will Gluck Tracks Down Agatha
Christie's getting an action adventure
Agatha Christie: adventurous hero? We're not sure we see it either, but Paramount Pictures clearly can. The studio has bought Allison Schroeder's spec screenplay Agatha, about a particular period in the legendary mystery writer's life, and Easy A's Will Gluck is attached to direct.
Despite all of her success in mystery publishing, possibly the biggest conundrum surrounding Christie is what really happened when she went missing for 10 days in 1926. The day that her husband left to spend time with his mistress, Christie disappeared from home, turning up more than a week later as a guest at the Swan Hydropathic Hotel in Yorkshire. She never accounted for her disappearance, though one theory involved a mysterious traveller and giant wasps.
What Schroder's script invents is being kept a secret for now, though Deadline has heard it described as Sherlock Holme**s meets Romancing The Stone**.
Gluck already has one big job on his schedule: he's re-writing and preparing to direct the script for Sony's new take on Annie, which has Beasts Of The Southern Wild Oscar nominated actress Quvenzhané Wallis set in the lead.

Tim McGraw calls out 2 guys for fighting at his concert
Video - Screenshot
Tim McGraw stopped his show to call out two different fights at his concert last week in Fresno, California. It starts with Tim shaking his head at someone in the crowd and repeatedly mouthing "Stupid."
He walks away to finish the song, and then returns to let loose. What angered McGraw the most was that the two men fighting were doing so right by a child. After going off on them, he then brings the little girl on stage to make sure she is safe and has a good time!
Watch it all happen...

WoW World of Warcraft Mage
After the destruction of the kingdom of Dalaran the arcane arts spread to all corners in the world and magic is now practiced by many different races. The Mage is an invaluable party member with its high damage spells. Check out Skryer for Mage guides and walkthroughs.
The Mage relies on ranged combat and different spells that immobilizes the enemy. With the high damage Fire Spells and the slowing Frost Spells the Mage can deal high damage before getting hit at all. What makes the Mage so important in a group is the high damage Area of Effect spells and the most powerful spell of them all; Polymorph.
Polymorph transforms the enemy to a sheep and forces it to wander around for the duration of the spell. While Polymorphed the enemy can not cast spells or attack but it will regenerate health very quickly. This spell is useful when you pull more than one enemy at a time.
Mages can also use teleportation spells to all the major cities and open portals for other group members for faster travel.

Hey, buddy, pal, friend of mine.
You live in Austin? Have a jig? Want to rent it to me for a weekend?
I've got cookies...
I got home today and had the parts kit I got at gunbroker waiting for me.
It is new looks like it's never been assembled. All the parts plus rivits for the trigger guard and the side mount scope rail.
My new DPH flatbending jig and flats w/rails were here also.
Now I just need to stay home long enough to do my first build.
With Rita headed for Texas I may have to make FEMA deliveries again.
Hey, buddy, pal, friend of mine.

is that a Romanian PSL kit. It looks great. If it is I have an extra ( correct) side rail, I might be willing to send you.
I know nothing...........nothing !
Nope thats an AKM kit. Just has the drag styke stock as a parts of his kit for whatever reason.

So you're the one who beat me out of that kit! Good, glad to see someone from this board got it. Looked like a real sweet kit. Question though, is the barrel pinned into the trunion? I was worried about having to headspace and then drilling throughthe barrel. Hope it turns out well.
That's actually a WUM-1 kit. Those came with everything except the receiver. They even came with rivets, a center support, and scope rail. The magazine is a 5 rounder, but it's always good to have.
The bundle covering the end of the barrel should be the package with all the barrel pins. The barrels on the WUM-1 kits are drilled, but not pinned. The muzzle nut is held on with a spot of weld underneath, but you should be able to cut through it with a dremel disc. There isn't a huge blob of weld, so don't cut too deep. There should have been enough rivets to install the trunnion, scope rail, and stock tang. Those may have been misplaced if the kit was opened by the previous owner.
I bought 2 of these kits from Inrange a few months ago. Now I wish I would have bought all he had. The barrels are already headspaced to the bolt, but you will have to press the barrel out to rivet the trunnion. Even though it's drilled for the barrel pin, you should check the headspace before firing it.
The only bad part with these kits is that all the barrel blocks are canted. It's not much, but it's enough to notice. You can leave it as is, or straighten & redrill and use a different pin.
The Tapco flats should work just fine on them. They're standard 7.62x39 rifles, so there's nothing out of the ordinary with them.
The most damning evidence is the truth.
That which does not kill you, really really really hurts...

" Brand: Nintendo "
I've long been a fan of the Nintendo DS console due to the fact that it focuses more attention on family friendly content and mind stimulating puzzle games than it does on violence and gore. However I was hesitant to upgrade to the 3DS due to a lack of interest in the 3D screen and a budgetary concern that couldn't be ignored.
This was where the Nintendo 2DS came in handy. Nintendo's latest entry into the DS family is a budget friendly stepchild with all of the power of a 3DS and none of the motion sickness drawbacks.
Aesthetically speaking the 2DS doesn't initially seem to be all that. Gone is the 'clam shell' design of previous consoles,and instead you have a single unit that can not be closed. I do admit to having my concerns in this regard as some of the older DS games (Hotel Dusk) used the closing feature in a number of important puzzles. Games like that will become impossible on the 2DS! However this is only a minor drawback that has not affected any of the games that I have purchased since buying the unit.
After getting over the shock of the new design however it quickly grew on me. The Blue and Black colour scheme that I chose gave the console a stylish look that nicely hides the cheaper nature of the plastic. The new 'Cake Slice' shape of the console looked pretty enough and all of the buttons seemed to be placed decently.
Unfortunately using the machine with this new shape is not always the easiest of tasks. When holding the machine in such a way as to access the rear trigger buttons it can feel like you lack a stable hold, and whenever you're playing touch-screen games it can be so easy to slip your finger over the single speaker and totally block out all of the sounds. It's also worth noting that this new design means that; while the actual screens are the same size as the pocket friendly DSI/3DS, the unit size is as bulky as a DSIXL/3DSXL and will not fit into your pockets.
This drawback however is to be expected when considering the price that you'll be paying. In order to cut the costs of the console over the 3DS Nintendo have used cheaper plastics for the case, and cut the number of screens down to one. There is a piece of plastic that draws a line between the top and bottom screens, but in actuality you have just one screen. One screen means no hinges between screens, and no hinges means a new design is required.
Once I accepted that fact I found myself adequately satisfied with the feel of the new machine. The analogue stick runs smoothly, the triggers are not overly sensitive and the weight is just right for extended bouts of game-play
For me however these sacrifices were well worthwhile. Priced at just £89.99 the console is significantly cheaper than either the 3DS or the 3DSXL and yet is able to play all of the games from every single DS console ever released. This opens up a range of fantastic possibilities for Platforming (Donkey Kong Country/New Super Mario Bros.), Puzzle (Professor Layton), adventure (Ace Attorney) and much much more. The range of games that Nintendo have available is staggering and easily trumps the FPS focused antics of the home console markets.
If that wasn't enough the console also comes with a very stable wi-fi connection that enables you to download and play a host of other games. These can range from classic titles (Super Mario World) to indie classics (Shift) to full priced new releases. It must be said that the value of the latter is diminished due to the fact that they cost the same as the physical copies do, but without the option of reselling. However the shop is otherwise a fantastic addition that opens up a world of smaller/cheaper games, and enables you to download demos for any games that you're not quite sure of.
So yes, I was very happy with my purchase. This does not mean that I am blind to the consoles faults however. The single speaker has adequate sound but would never win out as a music player. The single screen looks very clear, but has no high def bells and whistles. It is also insanely hard to find decent accessories for the thing. Other than the bog standard Nintendo sleeves there seem to be no other carry cases available for the 2DS.
Other than those; admittedly strong, drawbacks however this is a very solid piece of equipment. The resistive touch screen is very responsive and will work with any DS style styluses you can find. The battery life is very nice, and the range of games unmatchable. It also has a few bonus options such as front and rear cameras that can take 0.3 mega pixel shots and can be used for building an avatar for the online world. Obviously the online multi-player and connectivity to any other DS has also been included. All of this for a fairly powerful machine that still costs under £100. It's the console to go for if you want to upgrade but are on a budget, or worried about the effects of 3D on your children's eyes.
PS- One thing I was confused about. Nintendo have decided to keep a feature in that enables the gamer to take 3D photos of their environment These photos can only be viewed in 2D unless they are transferred to an SD card and into a 3DS, so I'm not too sure why Nintendo stuck with these fancy cameras. They could have lowered the price even more by removing this seemingly useless feature, but it's not something I'll dwell on.

As usual, another board is full of questions about a potentially faulty product without any solutions or explanations forthcoming from the seller. We were considering ordering this device, but thanks to this board, we will not be ordering anything from Sparkfun.
Sparkfun – answer the people's questions, or lose the business! It's time to change the paradigm of manufactures sitting smugly by in silence, collecting money for faulty product, while their boards fill up with the lamenting of customers who trusted them.
This board reminds me of the board for Sony Vegas Pro 9. You can tell when a product is a ripoff just by reading the boards.
No public wish lists :(

In the last few months, I've been reading and following debates about the use and impact of social media, especially blogging, so where better to share my findings and reflections than in this blog...
First, a spate of recent research and surveys on use and impact of social media in the development sector
The Global Development Network (GDNet) has recently published a review of the use of social media (or not) for research collaboration amongst southern academics. As a network comprising of more than 8,000 researchers worldwide, GDNet should be commended for not jumping onto the social media bandwagon without doing some homework around relevance and appropriateness for its members first.
Findings seem to show that, while there are regional and gender differences, the levels of up-take amongst academics is generally low. Barriers for adoption include poor infrastructure or equipment (still), usability, time and perceived value or credibility of the tools as well as lack of institutional incentives. Sound familiar?
|Accessed from: http://pedagogy.cwrl.utexas.edu/
Those engaged in social media seem to range from individuals (activists, aid workers or academics) to small groups with shared interests to institutions who have a clearly articulated 'social media strategy'.
This has prompted some thinking around sustainability and impact.
Following the closing down of established and popular blogs, such as AidWatch, Duncan Green, who writes the popular From Poverty to Power blog, recently speculated on whether the blogging bubble was about to burst. However, when considering whether to wind down his own blog, Duncan came up with some good reasons to keep it going. Some were personal: "blogging forces you to read stuff more carefully and come to a view", others aspirational "blogging has turbocharged a part of the development discussion best described as the 'ideas space'".
The blogosphere as an epistemic community
Duncan's personal reflections are corroborated in a recent paper by David McKenzie and Ben Őzler on The Impact of Economic Blogs (PDF). This is a substantive attempt at collecting evidence around the following questions:
1. Do blogs improve dissemination of working papers or journal articles?
2. Do they raise the profile of their creators?
3. Do they cause changes in attitudes among their readers or lead to increased knowledge?
It seems that their evidence shows positive results:
- Blogging has a significant impact on abstract views and paper downloads
- Regular blogging is strongly and significantly associated with being more likely to be viewed as a favourite economist
- A majority of readers have read a new economics paper as a result of a blog posting, and more policy-oriented respondents say that blogs are having an influence on how people feel about the effectiveness of particular policies
This was their encouraging response.
|Graph accessed from: http://findwhatworks.wordpress.com/2011/09/22/blog-survey-findings-5-why-the-audience-reads-blogs/
A full break-down can be found on Dave Algoso's blog, Find What Works, and makes for some interesting perusal.
Phew! It's all a good reason to keep blogging then!
However, in case we bloggers start to take ourselves too seriously, I wanted to share a view on blogging from the McKenzie and Őzler paper which I found amusing, but I hope no one who reads this thinks it applies to Impact and Learning...
"a largely harmless outlet for extrovert cranks and cheap entertainment for procrastinating office workers" (Bell, 2006)
Post-Script: do you write a blog? What do you do to measure influence and impact of your blog?

How does anyone start out already believing? Don't you start believing because your parents tell you to?
I think studying and coming to your own realizations about God is much more preferable to just doing it because you "feel" like you've always believed.
Otherwise, how are people supposed to proselytize to non-believers? (Not that I'm saying they're are supposed to, but proselytizing is important to some Christian denominations).

QB Peyton Manning Helps Omaha Trend
As millions watched and listened to Denver quarterback Peyton Manning yell 'Omaha, Omaha' in last nights' NFL AFC division championship, a simple 'Thank You' tweet by the Omaha Convention & Visitors Bureau had the Twitterspere buzzing.
Here's the OCVB tweet from its VisitOmaha twitter account:
'We certainly appreciate all the love from #PeytonManning #OmahaOmaha'
Within a short period of time, more than 4,200 people from all over the country had tweeted and retweeted the message.
The tweet spurred bloggers such as SB Nation to write, 'Peyton Manning can't stop talking about Omaha'.
"Some tweeters suggest counting how many times Manning says 'Omaha Omaha' during next week's game," says Jasmyn LeFlore, the OCVB's Social Media manager. "We love the idea, just tweet us every time he says Omaha and we'll keep track, and we'll keep the conversation about Omaha going."

Hiring an attorney isn't something that one wants to do, but when I had to, I was SO glad I chose Carnell. I felt at ease with him by my side. I would 100% recommend him!
Posted by anonymous
I found Carnell Johnson to be very professional, and easy to work with. The office staff were also very courteous and made sure to supply answers to any questions we may have had. I would highly recommend seeking his services when needed.
Posted by anonymous
I live in Canada and I had a speeding ticket while I was driving in North Carolina. I usually do not speed, but I simply did not see the speed limit sign since I was not familiar with the road. I contacted Mr. Johnson and we arranged that he represents me. The fee was reasonable and the whole process went so smoothly without complications. He saved me the hassle to travel to North Carolina to dispute the ticket and now I am satisfied with his service and his level of professionalism. Thanks for him and for Ms. Castillo (his secretary) for the smooth experience.
Posted by Jessica
Mr. Johnson is amazing! He is efficient, prompt, attentive to all questions, and extremely knowledgeable. His assistant Maria has also helped make my legal matters easier to handle. I would recommend his serves to ANY friend or family member!
Posted by Jorgomai and Lovely Sowe
Carnell Johnson is the best! He helped my husband gain his green card after 8 years of us fighting Immigration. Other lawyers backed down from the challenge but Carnell went in full force on our case. He beleived in us made us feel at ease the whole way through. Carnell Johndon is very knowledgeable of the law, very confident in his abilities to represent clients, and is always available when you need him. His whole office staff is great! From the front desk personnel to the paralegals. I would recommend this firm to anyone! All I can say is AWESOME! !!!
Posted by Belinda
Attorney C.T Johnson is a polite straight forward professional who cares about his clients. He was able to explain to me the best options in preparing my case and researched all opportunities to receive the best results. I appreciate the quality of service I received from Johnson & Nicholson Law Firm and highly recommend their services.

I was referred to Mr. Johnson through another attorney for my speeding ticket. I must say that I was very impressed with the communication of Mr Johnson and his office. I was kept in the loop every step of the way. It is very rare to find a lawyer that will listen to your needs and advise you accordingly and ensure that you understand. Thank you for your dilligence!

Redgard and radiant heat flooring
Does anyone know if Redgard has a compatibility issue with heated flooring? I can't find any limitation notes on the web sites but I thought I'd through the question out to some pros. I'm coating Hardi backer prior to putting on the heating mats and tile.
I don't use RedGard but I know most systems I've seen, especially Schluter Ditra, always recommend you apply the membrane over the heat, not under it. You use self leveling compound or thinset to embed the mat and then apply the membrane to the finished surface prior to tiling.
Sluter and Redgard both add some insulation value. Though it may be minor, make very sure you have less resistance above the element before installing it.

Man arrested after stolen SUV crashes into home
CRAVEN COUNTY - Deputies in Pitt County say they have in custody the man wanted in connection with a stolen SUV, a high-speed chase and a crash involving a house.
Joshua Jasper Best, 22, was arrested following a manhunt after investigators said he took off after crashing a stolen white Isuzu Rodeo into a home along Highway 43 early Tuesday morning.
The New Bern man was believed to have stolen the SUV in Craven County. That vehicle was spotting in Pitt County heading south along Hwy 43. During the ensuing chase, deputies said Best crashed into a home near the intersetion of Hwy 102. After the crash, deputies said Best took off into a nearby wooded area.
He was taken into custody around 2 p.m. Tuesday after a joint effort invloving deputies from both counties, and he now faces charges of eluding arrest in addition to theft of vehicle. He is being held on a $105,000 bond.
Deputies said the SUV was reported stolen last week.

Re: TableHeadings for 1x1 tables
Thank you for your response. I'm currently using the same work-around
as your last example. My table is the output of a more complicated
notebook where the size of the table depends on the particular input.
It can range from 1x1 to 1xn (i.e., n columns) with the 1x1 case being
somewhat frequent.
I see no obvious reason why TableForm's TableHeadings options shouldn't
work with 1x1 tables. I sure hope this is improved in future releases.
Thanks for you time,

A reader sent me an e-mail to tell me that there is going to be a Great Lakes Museum built here in Toledo, Ohio. That got me all jazzed up to see if there were any interesting sites on the Great Lakes. So I found this very informative site on the lakes!
I have to admit that growing up on the shores of Lake Erie, I may have taken the lake for granted. I have a ton of happy childhood memories playing on the shores of the lake hunting for seashells and swimming out to the sand bar. But I can't say that I really know anything specific about it.
On the main page, you'll find a map of all the Great Lakes. You can click on each lake to learn more about that lake specifically. Each lake section starts out with What's New which will be the latest new surrounding that lake. Then, if you scroll down the page you'll get an overview, and more information.
You can also learn about the efforts to restore the great lakes and replenish the depleted environment. And don't forget to check out the Images section where you'll find photographs of the lakes!

Carson (California) July 22: David Beckham's hotly anticipated debut for Los Angeles Galaxy was put on hold when he was left out of his new team's starting line-up for yesterday's exhibition match against Chelsea.
The England midfielder, who has been struggling to recover from an injury to his left ankle, was one of seven substitutes named by Galaxy head coach Frank Yallop.
Although Beckham's ankle is still swollen and he does not want to run the risk of a setback, he is expected to come on for a cameo role late in the match.
''He won't play a big part in the game, we know that, but we are hoping he can get some time on the field,'' Yallop told reporters after a Galaxy training session on Friday.
''He is desperate to play and wants to make his stamp on why he came over here to play.'' Beckham, 32, played no part in Galaxy training on Thursday, instead spending his time with the team's physiotherapist and working out in the gym.
The former England captain, signed by the Galaxy from Real Madrid on a 32.5 million dollar five-year deal, twisted his ankle playing for his country against Estonia in a Euro 2008 qualifying match last month.
He aggravated it in his final appearance for Real 11 days later when his former team clinched the Spanish league title.
Saturday's game at the 27,000-capacity Home Depot Center is a sell-out and the Galaxy's second-highest grossing fixture since the MLS side hosted Real a year ago, with Beckham playing for the opposition.
The match is being televised by ESPN, who plan to use 19 cameras with one specifically earmarked to track the Galaxy's high-profile signing, should he make it on to the pitch.

YouTube is one of the most popular sites that exist on the Internet today. It is a search engine for video clips; whether they be music videos, movies, trailers, funny videos, or a work-out tutorial—practically any video that exists can be found here! Next to Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter, it is probably the most visited website out there today. In fact, you can share links from YouTube on your Myspace, Facebook, and/or Twitter profiles!
The main homepage of YouTube shows you the most popular videos being currently viewed under the heading "Videos Being Watched Now." This is followed by "Featured Videos" and "Most Popular," which are often very entertaining and interesting to watch.
On the heading of the YouTube webpage there are 5 Tabs located next to the Search button in which you can enter anything you wish to search for and find on the website. The first tab, "Home," brings you back to the main page at any desired time. The second tab, "Videos," takes you to a new page where there are several categories listed on the left-hand side. Under each category, you can select clips that are popular, the most viewed, or even a High Definition setting for big bandwidth users. These categories include Autos & Vehicles, Comedy, Music, Shows, Movies and much, much more! The options and possibilities are endless, and the category selection can enable you to find what most interests you easily!
The third tab on the YouTube page is "Shows". This takes you to a page that is similar to that of the "Videos" page. The categories, however, are relevant to shows this time, whether they be drama, comedy, horror, sports, travel, or any other genre. These shows can be organized alphabetically by the most recent videos uploaded, the most popular shows, or based on the show's network. YouTube's organization makes finding videos much easier.
The fourth tab is "Channels", which are organized based on the most subscribed to and the most viewed. Channels are streams of videos based on a single category. For instance, the Television series "Britain's Got Talent" has its own Channel on YouTube, and it contains 122 videos dedicated to this channel alone. There are categories based on Channel genre as well to help guide you searchers!
Finally, the fifth tab is "Community." This takes you to a page dedicated to Contests, Events, and Groups which link to further channels, videos, web pages and forums, as well. Different promotions and advertisements will be posted on this page, and you can get a glimpse upcoming events and happenings in your area!
Next time, we'll learn how to become YouTube users and upload videos of our own onto this worldwide, popular search engine!

The key to living a happy life is to find the right amount of activity for you: Not so much that you're overwhelmed but just enough to motivate you to keep moving forward. A lot of people make their lives more difficult than necessary by putting enormous amounts of pressure on themselves to be perfect or do things a certain way. Life is much more enjoyable if you do the things you love and keep everything in perspective.

Hudson River Teeming With Sewage-Linked Bacteria: Study
This week's heat wave has many in our area heading to the water, but a new study from Columbia University suggests cooling off in the Hudson might not be a good idea.
Researchers found drug-resistant bacteria at several spots in the waterway from the Tappan Zee Bridge to Lower Manhattan. The bacteria enters the river whenever the city's sewer system is overwhelmed after a heavy rainfall.
Suzanne Young, a doctoral student at the University of South Florida working with researchers at Columbia, says she would avoid any water near the shoreline or south of the George Washington Bridge.
"It's more about when rather than where because of these combined sewer overflow events, so if it's just been raining, then I would avoid submerging yourself in the water," she said.
Those with compromised immune systems, the very young or the very old are more at risk.

The Surat split led to the partition of the country; the politics of BJP has partitioned the psyche of the nation
The RSS took birth as a reaction a few years later and eventually BJP came to the centre stage by championing the other extreme. The Surat split led to the partition of the country; the politics of BJP has partitioned the psyche of the nation. Savitri Era Party ventures to remedy these historical errors. The notion of nationalism has undergone significant metamorphoses under the impact of globalization. To prepare our people to be ready for global partnerships, whenever opportunity arrives, is a big task. But by the grace of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo we shall proceed in the right direction. This is the parting call of the year 2007.

Universally human Vedic economics
Furthermore we often need to apply personal and cultural judgment to offset the sometimes-erroneous judgments and biases built into the economic way of thinking. Robin's post is the clearest example I have seen of what I call Robin's logical atomism. Can theory override intuition? from Marginal Revolution by Tyler Cowen] 10:30 AM
If light can at all be considered of some economic worth, then this fight is universally human regardless of personal and cultural standpoints. Not only economics; all politics, ethics, and aesthetics derive their logic and legitimacy from this fundamental essence. The bulls and the bears are perhaps the nearest in sense in contemporary parlance. [TNM]

Gradually the horizon becomes distinct, the path grows clear, and we move towards a greater and greater certitude.
It matters little that there are thousands of beings plunged in the densest ignorance, He whom we saw yesterday is on earth; his presence is enough to prove that a day will come when darkness shall be transformed into light, and Thy reign shall be indeed established upon earth.
O Lord, Divine Builder of this marvel, my heart overflows with joy and gratitude when I think of it, and my hope has no bounds. My adoration is beyond all words, my reverence is silent. Page - 124

All the "politicking" and "scheming" that we are indulging in at the moment in floating the Party is basically directed at achieving one single goal. It is to draw the attention of the people at large to The Mother and Sri Aurobindo. By ferreting out a distinct political ideology based on the bedrock of an alluring religion, we can hope to rule the dominant consciousness of the nation some day. The Party offers us enough leeway to perform acrobatics in order to win attention space. Instead of discussing politics only in private, many of us would, over a period of time, muster courage to help it trigger their public deliberations. [TNM]

Savitri Era Party towed market economics and religion to politics
Politics is about evolution, though. When policy changes produce clear and continuous evidence that things are getting better, politics can start adopting the language of market economics for its purposes. The adoption will necessarily be convenient, tactical, not always be intellectually consistent and involve marrying liberal economics with some other political mantra, a variant of nationalism or regionalism, for example. That's how politics is, and should be. Otherwise, academic economists would have ruled democracies... Market, Modi, Manmohan by Saubhik Chakrabarti Hindustan Times, December 20, 2007]

Increasingly complex global market
Savitri Era Religion is of great potential value for humanity
[Here we are not looking at a new religion. But there are still perplexing questions about Sri Aurobindo in this regard. As already mentioned, he stated that he did not wish to establish a new religion.
- How do his students or followers respond to this wish?
- What have they made to his philosophy?
- Has it been changed into a cult and should his every dictate be followed slavishly?
- Is he viewed as an avatar, not necessarily in name but in fact?
- Or is he considered a great thinker or perhaps a combination of all three these possibilities?
- If his disciples follow his philosophy to the letter, either at present or in the future, would that be wrong?
The reason for this question is, if they do not operate in this way, can the positive results envisaged by Sri Aurobindo be guaranteed because now it is not a Sri Aurobindo philosophy but the disciple philosophy that is relevant and determinative.
- Further, if he is to be followed slavishly, can original and thinking minds tolerate such a restrictive environment?
As in all religions and philosophical groupings, there are certain latitudes that are operative. The teacher did not cover everything and what he did cover was set out in words which immediately brings into question exactly what his teachings were. Always the teacher speaks from his level and always the student hear from his.
- Certainly we can see his words but we only see the surface: to what degree can disciples see the depth?
Given all these imponderables the road ahead is not necessarily very clear. The effect of his philosophies during his life and since his death has been arguably limited. This is evidenced by the fact that he simply is not a well-known philosopher. This could be because of the fact that he is not necessarily a very easy read. Reading him arguably requires a certain intellectual ability and bent. Because of his erudition, comprehensiveness and profundity, the study of his work can be a very satisfying exercise. Even though he to a degree presented what he experienced and though within the framework of the Hindu philosophy, the emphasis of his philosophies is on his basic findings as is applicable to every human being. Different philosophies appeal to different people. This is dependent on their level of evolution.
- Up till now one can say that the philosophy of Sri Aurobindo has not made a great impact on humanity, but is it not possible that that is because of the fact that his work was too advanced for the present period?
I would argue that his philosophy is comprehensive, profound and of great potential value for humanity. It addresses that part of the human psyche that is beyond the physical with its base needs, beyond the level of the emotions where only feelings pertain, even beyond the level of the intellect with its invaluable logic and reason and it finds itself in the supra-intellectual domains of being. It is also not restricted to any confining or restrictive religious or philosophical dogmas. He does not ignore any of the above aspects of a human being but is not bound to any one of them, it is inclusive and far-reaching. Potentially, it can supply a holistic evolutionary roadmap for humanity to move beyond the problematic physical, spiritual and environmental reality it finds itself in.]

The social is a process of countless transactions
You can find the rest of it here: territories-of-music1.doc. The key concept in everything I'm working on is that of individuation and how individuation requires us to recast a number of philosophical questions. by Larval Subjects] 9:22 AM [Given interdependence of each on others, many, probably most, of whom we are unlikely ever to know, it is well that we can benefit from their actions without it being necessary for the happy bonds of 'mutual love and affection' to exist among us.
We only ever know a few of our relatives; cousins twice removed are usually strangers of whom we may know nothing at all. Our circle of friends is also limited, and while our acquaintances are a larger set of people, they are still dwarfed in numbers by the billions on the planet (even the millions in our respective countries' or even those who live in the same town)...
Granted that the social is a process of countless transactions. Then, what is the fuel that runs it? [TNM]

Lack of freedom
This is not due to lack of creativity, but lack of freedom. Most people are bound to some organization or the other. Although we are a democracy, people are barred from taking part in any kind of political activity or expressing their opinions, as per their service rules. The political sphere, therefore, remains the fiefdom of the unemployed. [TNM]

Castes and sub-castes as "federation of free nationalities"
If we take the liberty of transposing crudely one of the key ideas that Sri Aurobindo popularized, the castes and the sub-castes can be seen as welcome corporate formations. They can exist as a "federation of free nationalities" both competing and co-operating with each other. [TNM, Director, Savitri Era Learning Forum, Indirapuram, Ghaziabad] 8:13 AM 7:59 AM

Break this illogical and distorting order of knowledge dispensation
But the same degree of leverage has not been achieved in the field of philosophy and social science. Going by the newspaper articles it becomes apparent that India doesn't exist in the mind of the scholars in the West. The Indian context is never alluded to in sociological analyses. The Veda, for instance, is yet to find a mention in their University syllabi pertaining to Ancient philosophy.
We shall have to break this illogical and distorting order of knowledge dispensation. Savitri Erans have the consent and sanction of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo in this respect. Sri Aurobindo himself was writing in the Bande Mataram a century ago inaugurating such an agenda. Prof. S. K. Maitra, heroically, has sounded the heralds. Wide-ranging writing must commence to win this more difficult war. [TNM] 11:34 PM 2:37 PM

Sri Aurobindo, who passed away on this date 57 years back, was an expert on religion
Writing of books on religion – both, for and against – is spreading like an epidemic. Scientists, journalists, columnists, psychoanalysts, politicians, professors of Political Science, and sundry social scientists and commentators are out with books and they are being read as well as debated avidly. Hundreds of denizens of the blogosphere dutifully read them, report, and recommend. Amazon.com is growing amazingly for this reason.
Inability to recognize the distinctiveness of the extraordinary metaphysical output of Sri Aurobindo as expounded in The Life Divine and Savitri is an utter intellectual failure of the present generation. Not to be agog and astir about such prophetic utterances signifies certain deafness towards the radical and the veridical. This is a peculiar ailment afflicting the elite at the moment. The subliminal planes of our being turn insignificant in the face of the sub-prime crisis.
Sri Aurobindo, who passed away on this date 57 years back, was an expert on religion. There is no better book than The Life Divine on the subject of religion and philosophy. Notion and nature, matter and memory, sleep and dream, rebirth and evolution; the mystery of all knotty questions have been answered to the satisfaction spanning race, religion and culture. For any subject, in all fairness, one should read the expert, and not the layperson.
It is not metaphysics alone. The Mother and Sri Aurobindo have instantiated an obscure and abstruse evolutionary alchemy, the urgency of which needs to be appreciated by the mankind. All our education would be deemed as fruitful if harnessed in broadcasting this epochal imperative. The message is simple, the invitation direct, and the prospectus is in black and white. Time to heal our intellectual infructuity. [TNM]

Moments of leadership
These are the moments when the leadership qualities are tested, no matter what the posterity tells. So, it is futile for Arundhati Roy to remark, "Buddha used Taslima to cover up Nandigram" [Times of India], or Amit Varma castigating, "there is no moral difference between what the governments of Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and Narendra Modi did. Both deserve our highest contempt." [The India Uncut Blog] [TNM]

You all remember Stillman Brown from his epic contributions to the forum discussions when we offered a three-pack from his Red Zeppelin Winery back in April. So we couldn't be more thrilled to have him as the latest Wine.Woot guest blogger. Take it away, Stillman!
Do low yielding vineyards necessarily produce better wine grapes?
Measuring by tons per acre, hectoliters per hectare, or as I prefer to put it, "bottles per vine" (because the first two commonly used measurements don't account for vine density, and because it's simpler and better) doesn't provide an easy assessment of fruit concentration or wine quality, though it is an important factor in most cases. Assuming that the vine is in balance, with the right number of leaves per cluster, optimum canopy and vine orientation for the varietal and area, there are still other complexities. Lower yields from smaller berries that have a higher skin to juice ratio (because of the cube/square law) will be more highly flavored since it is the layer just under the skin that provides almost all of the biochemicals from which aromas and flavors come.
Let's take two examples to show how complex this can be; on a very cool coastal hillside with poor soils, a vine won't be able to ripen more than one or two bottles worth of grapes per vine, so the yields must be kept very low; by thinning, for example. If the vine is an excellent clone of Pinot Noir or Syrah, you may achieve spectacular results. If it's Sauvignon Blanc or Cabernet Sauvignon, the resulting wine may be concentrated but overly weedy and herbal. Now let's consider a much warmer area, perhaps with richer soil. At very low yields, the vine's much larger photosynthetic resources will enable it to ripen the grapes too rapidly, resulting in high sugars but incomplete, simple flavors; though Pinot Noir doesn't belong in the area at all, the other three varietals would benefit from having extra weeks of 'hang time' for the fruit to mature, as the vine has to divide its energies among a score of grape clusters instead of a few.
All of this assumes that the winemaking process has been adapted to the fruit's chemistry and flavors . . . do you see how complex this can be? I have grafted over or planted some fairly extreme vineyard sites over the years, and I always seek to control yields, but it's only part of the artistic and scientific process that goes into making outstanding wine. And here I haven't said anything about wine personality; perhaps my next post . . .
Stillman is also extending an invitation to all Wooters to attend his annual fund raiser and party this August 11-15 in Cayucos, CA. The party benefits the Cal Poly Wine and Viniculture scholarship, and features the musical stylings of both Dread Zeppelin and Meth Leppard. Take a look at at the invitation so you fully understand what you're getting yourself into.

Get the legal help you need at a fixed price. No hidden fees or long-term commitment.
Real estate attorneys deal with the many laws and practice areas associated with land ownership issues. For example, a commercial real estate attorney knows which laws apply to commercial transactions for construction/development projects (such as condo construction), or land use/zoning projects (such as subdividing a parcel of land for development), or real property issues (such as financing a large land purchase). Likewise, residential real estate lawyers help you buy a home, or prevent you from losing your home in foreclosure. They also know how residential tenancy laws work and can advise you of your rights as a tenant. With so many types of real estate attorneys, it is important to find a specialist who does the work you need.

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, it was expected that students would pay attention in class, but this terrible law oppressed children who had better things to do with their time during the day than learn something about science or math or history. After all, where was Heidi going after school or who was having a party tonight were much more important issues. So, lo and behold, the evil teacher ogre had the Danish government pass a law that allowed educators to confiscate cell phones for an "indefinite period" rather than return them after class. This law was terribly unfair and took away the right to chat and laugh and have fun. After all, wasn't that the object of going to school?
A gold star for Denmark in passing the new law which allows teachers to seize and hold cell phones.

i hope she doesn't poke someone's eye with those :-)
Finally!!!! The rock chick is back!! How we had missed this fierce Shruti!!
I'd probably have made the eyes a little smokier and the lips dark, almost black…just to compliment the edginess if the gown!
Why do I feel that something is off with the make-up??
ya bronzer issues.. couldn't recognise her because of that..
+1 ! I thought she is Mughda Godse for a moment. Way too much bronzer and a boring lip colour and dislike the pout on anyone.
The gown fits her beautifully though.
well, look whos back? love the dress on her
The lipstick just washes her off.
Love her dress
The dress, the pose, the make up all look so contrived/over done…and what's with the duck face?
dress is the only good thing goin on about ths look..
horrible makeup (excessive use of makeup) n strange duck pucker face.. she is trying way too hard to get back her own long last groove..
relax girl.. its within U.. dnt try ths hard..
In my opinion she looks terrible. what is with the lips??
omg…u sure thts Shruti??…Just cant recognize her!..something off with her face/lips!
love this. Perfect on her..
The lips and the pout totally ruin it
Nope! sorry
She looks totally weird…that face is just off. But hell she is working the dress!!!
What's with the bitchface? Meh.
This dress reminds me of the following 3 things:
1. mermaid
2. snake
3. broom
Hahahha! why broom though?
I can't say I'm on board with the dress, the plastic looking breast cones..just look tacky Madonna-esque stage outfit. She's got a killer body though.
Beautiful girl in a very costume-y outfit. Terrible makep.

In 1998, Sculptor Agelio Batle developed a process to create sculptures in solid graphite. Initially, he created his own hand (Drawing Hand No. 1), and then botanical and other natural forms followed. Each piece is cast using carbonaceous graphite and can be used in its entirety as a pencil. It is treated with a polymer that helps prevent the graphite from rubbing into one's hands. All of Studio Batle's Graphite Objects wear very slowly and will last an average of 7 to 9 years with everyday use.
- Each object approximately 4" in length
- Packaged in a sturdy gift box
- 5 designs available
