KwaZulu-Natal Women Artists
Judy Jordan
Coal Dumps, Old & New 1980s
- Schreiner Gallery
- Opens: Thursday 25 June 2009 at 18h00
- Extended: until Sunday 18 October at 17h00
Between January and March 2009, the Gallery held an exhibition of artworks by selected women artists of KwaZulu-Natal in the Schreiner Gallery, titled Into the Light. This display included some of the women, black and white, who worked in the province during the early and middle years of the 20th Century.
The present exhibition is a further display of works by selected women artists of KwaZulu-Natal, dating from the late 20th Century to the present. They are also from different cultural groups, but their works, which are often experimental, are better known to the public and more often exhibited than the previous group.
Collectively these images contribute to a rich experience of cross-cultural art in KwaZulu- Natal.

Wilson is undergoing tests after sustaining a "burner" in his surgically repaired neck during Tuesday's practice, according to NFL Network's Kimberly Jones. Wilson missed 11 games last year after suffering a serious neck injury that had many questioning his ability to ever return to the field. Wilson was cleared last week to participate in camp, but only made it through a few days of practices before this problem flared up.
Fantasy Analysis:
Any news about WIlson's neck is bad news. As Jones notes in her tweet, the Giants "will be careful" with WIlson. That is, if there's any chance to seriously aggravate this frightening injury, WIlson won't see the field. This development provides a fairly strong bump in value for Giants RB Rashad Jennings , who now looks likely to serve as a three-down back for the team. Wilson should not be drafted except in the deepest of leagues until he proves that he is healthy enough to get through training camp, let alone an NFL regular season.

Fudgy Brownies
This quintessential chocolaty dessert transports exceptionally well.
- Yield: Makes 12 to 16
Source: Martha Stewart Living, August 2006
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for dish
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dish
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 12 ounces good-quality semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 1/4 cups packed light-brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Dust with flour, and tap out excess; set aside. Whisk together flour and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
Melt chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring. Let cool completely.
Meanwhile, put sugar and eggs into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until pale, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Beat in chocolate mixture and the vanilla. Add flour mixture, and beat until just combined.
Spread batter evenly into prepared dish. Bake until top has cracked, center is just firm to the touch, and a cake tester inserted into center comes out with moist crumbs, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely in dish on a wire rack. Cut into squares.

Cynthia H28 DEC, 2014This is my first attempt at baking these brownies. I baked as directed, however, I used a 8x8 inch pan rather than a 13x9 for a thicker brownie. Unfortunately, after hours of cooling, I cut into the brownie and the middle portion was very fudgy/squishy. I was hoping for a thicker center for easier handling and for a nice thick bite. Although this may be looked down upon, I tossed these brownies back in the oven @350 for appx. 20min, and thankfully, the center thickened up a little bit.Reply
linguinaz29 SEP, 2013I used %80 dark chocolate but still seemed a lot chocolate for me so i reduced to 320 grams from 340. i also added cherries and pistachios on top to cut the sweetness a little, made it even more scrumptious. there are only 3 pieces left after the day i baked!Reply
lv52330 MAY, 2013so let the brownies cool completly before u cut them, this took quite a long time because the dense fudgyness traps the heat. id say it was cool to the touch( i checked for warmth on the bottom of the baking dish) after about 3.5-5 hrs. so if your making this recipie to serve the same day id start in adavnce. or serve them warm-if ur into that. o yea, the ice bath for the metled choclate, definatlty dont skip that, let the choc b4 u add it. I would definatly make this my go 2 recipe 4 brownies!!Reply
lv52330 MAY, 2013i dipped my tooth pick in at the suggested time and it came out liquid and the center had a fragile jiggle even though a crust had already formed. so i let it bake for a longer amount of time and it rose a bit higher( and dont worry, i know this was a fear of one of the reviewers, beacuase the crust did not burn it was still beautiful) and then I repeated the toothpick test and it came reletavly clean( a few specks of a cake like brownie like crumbs) and the fragile jiggle was gone...Reply
lv52330 MAY, 2013.....in a seemless manner. I used and 8x8 pan and the recipe yieded 16 uniform squares. Side note* i only had 10 oz of choclate on hand so i just used 10 instead of 12. There was no difference. However I have encountered a noticeable difference in the past with other recipies, But for this one I woudnt sweat it. Also in terms of baking, now this could be different depending on your type of oven ( I have a Wolf Gormet oven) but the baking time for my brownies ran a bit longer than the suggested..Reply
lv52330 MAY, 2013These brownies were absolutly wonderful! I made them after watching the choclate episode of Martha Bakes. I followed all of her directions-and I has no porblems. The crust was perfelty flaky and the body was a velvty fudge. In order to get the flaky crust you must beat the butter and the sugar untill it is opaque and fluffy. Also since they are quite fudgy preparing your pan with a parchment paper saddle( as seen on the episode) is crucial! because it alows you to lift the brownies out...Reply
Annalise12327 AUG, 2012Great recipe - love the crunchy top and fudgy-ness :-) Delicious, made these twice already and planning on the next... yum!Reply
brulee9 JUN, 2012I must agree with Kate. I made these yesterday afternoon and let them cool until evening. They smelled delicious while baking but nothing was salvageable. The top looked wonderful but I couldn't get them out of the pan because under that beautiful top crust was a brownie with the consistency of soft fudge. Definitely undercooked but any longer in the oven I was afraid the top would start burning.Reply
Kate Sullivan1 JUN, 2012LIterally the worst brownies I have ever made. They never baked they just stayed as a half baked batter-y mush.Reply
kventers7 FEB, 2012These were not good. Too chocolatey, too dry and cakey, not moist and fudgy. Expensive ingredients for poor results. The 99 cent box mix tastes better than these.Reply

Looking for alienser, the building blocks of lifeinhabiting faraway destinations in our solar system doesnt inspire fear for many Johnson Space Center team members. But sometimes, strange occurrences right here on our home planet are enough to do the trick.

A constant presence
Thirteen years ago my family moved to League City, Texas. Within two months of living in an apartment, our family began hearing dishes clanking, chairs being scraped across the floor and drawers and cabinets being shut. I had caught a glimpse of a figure in the kitchen: a short, old woman with a bun, wearing an apron, with a wooden spoon in her hand. I dismissed it.
None of my family spoke to each other about what we had heard or seen until the day my then 8-year-old son looked at me and said, Were not alone in the house. An old woman just walked into sissys room.
We both searched the room looking for the woman. I convinced him he was imagining things. When we were alone, my husband and I admitted to each other that we had seen this figure for some time. After moving to our house a year later, the noises and sightings continued. We never felt threatened or frightened. As a matter of fact, it was almost comforting.
Another day my then 4 year old was playing alone in the front room. I heard her say, OK, see you, bye-bye! I went in the room and asked who she was talking to.
She said, The old lady that lives in the kitchen ... She just went up the stairs. Weirdbut still, oddly, not threatening.
We were just confused as to why she was with us. Then, when visiting my sister-in-law, we began describing the noises and sightings to her. All the while, she dug through a box of old pictures. She produced a black-and-white photo of a group of women that often cooked for events at the local church. In the front row was the old woman in the apron
exactly as we had seen her ... spoon and all! It turned out to be my husbands grandmother, who had died when he was about 4. There is much more to this story, but the short of it is that Grandma stayed with us until my husband passed away in 2008. Weve never seen or heard from her again.

A not-so-subtle warning
Graduation Day! Finally, with a bachelor of science. But, instead of partying, here I was working the closing shift at our family gas station so that my little brother could go to New Orleans with his friends.
Of course, being Saturday night (and a wild one at that), we ended up closing late. There was a full moon on a clear night as I began the 40-mile trip with the days receipts to our house in rural Arkansas. Driving with the radio blaring and the windows down, I took the slow, winding county roads home instead of the highway to enjoy the cool, spring air and reflect on my future. I was beat, lazy, and did not fasten my seat belt. Three miles from home, a Public Service Announcement (PSA) comes on the radio with people telling their stories of surviving car crashes by wearing their seat belts. I think, Wowthe voiceover sounds just like my late Uncle Anders. Funny that they would use an announcer with a Swedish accent. I drive up the hill and top the crest. The PSA comes on againsame voice. Huh, someone at the station must be sleeping. As I glance in the rear-view mirror, I see Uncle Anders looking back at me. Whoa, I really need to get some sleep. Still ... maybe I should fasten my seat belt, even though I am almost home. One mile to go, just past the blind curve, up the hill and then home to bed.
While rounding the curve, a single headlight comes rocketing toward me. The world suddenly slowsa drunk in my lane. I start to turn, lock arms and legs, thenBOOMskidding, twisting, awful noises, glass flying, grinding ... stop. My engine is in the passenger seat. My car destroyed, but I walk out. And ever since, I always wear my seat belt ... thanks to Uncle Anders.

Oddie the ghost
I never believed in ghosts until I visited Oatman, Arizona, an old mining ghost town. In the middle of town there is an old two-story hotel, which is now a retail store on the first floor. The second floor is the old hotel. You can go to the second floor if you like; there is no cost and it is not a tour.
There have been several visitors who have taken pictures, and ghostly images appear in them. We were told that the ghost is of a man named Oddie, who had worked at the nearby gold mines and stayed at the hotel. One day Oddie had gotten really drunk and then gotten into a fight. He was beaten up and thrown outside the hotel, where he died.
Not believing in ghosts, my mother and I went to the second floor. It looked like an old hotel from the early 1900snothing special. There was a lady with her son in Oddies old room. The little boy got on Oddies bed and started jumping on the bed, saying, Oddie, I am jumping on your bed, come out and get me!
I told the little boy, You are going to make him mad.
At that time, his mother snapped a picture of her son on Oddies bed. They left the room and went back down to the first floor. As I was walking down the hall, one of the doors rattled so hard that it made me freeze my footsteps. There was no one up there except for my mother. We both ran for the stairs, scared to death. Once back on the first floor, we saw the mother and her son. They were looking at the pictures they had just taken. Sure enough, Oddies ghostly image was in the picture right behind her son on the bed. Both my mother and I saw the picture, and we left all shaken up.

A proper scolding
There was a cemetery in Corpus Christi, Texas, called Rose Hill Cemetery (the old part of Corpus) that the family would visit once a month to put flowers on family members graves. Being a kid and bored, I used to run and play, jumping from one grave to another. One time, my grandmother caught me playing and got after me for knocking over the flowers on the grave of an elderly woman (the picture on the tombstone was exposed) buried there. She said that I should not be disturbing the graves like that, because I would be visited by the those buried there.
The very next day I was playing with my older sisters drinking cup that she liked. She saw me with it and asked me to give it back. Instead, I ran with it. She began to cry. A few minutes later, an elderly lady walked down the street we lived on toward our house. Dogs started to bark. My grandma and the next-door neighbors visiting did not know who she was. (Remember, the street was not big and everyone knew each other on that street.)
The elderly lady stopped in front of our house. She looked very familiar to meit looked just like the picture of the elderly lady on the tombstone where I had knocked over the flowers! I got scared, started to cry and ran to the backyard. She saw me and told me to give the cup back to my sister. I said I would. I had no idea how she knew all this, but she did. I am sure there is an explanation ... but none of the neighbors, nor my family members, could come up with one. Needless to say, I never played in the cemetery again!

Grandmas still around
My story might be spooky to some, but it somehow is a comfort to me. My grandmother lived with me, my husband and my daughter the last nine years of her life. She was 79 when she moved to Texas from Tennessee, and she passed away at age 88.
Taking care of a grandparent is first of all an honor, not a burden, but at times I know she felt that she was. My granny loved to carry Kleenex. There was always one near her or in her pocket. On laundry day, I took pains to make sure there were no Kleenex in her pants or blouse pockets, her duster (thats a housecoat for those who do not know) or her pajama pockets. However, more often than not I would miss a few and end up with a washer full of wet clothes and little pieces of Kleenex attached to them. Oh, the sounds I would make in that laundry roomand then came the procession of me carrying a basketful of wet clothes out into the backyard, where I would proceed to shake all the Kleenex out of them and re-wash the load.
This happened many times over those nine wonderful years. After she passed away, I was so sad and missed her terribly. I still do. Every so often, after a good cry, I would think about the Kleenex and how I wished that she was still here putting them in her pockets for me to wash.
Well, it seems she was listening, because they began to appear in the laundry. Not in the washerbut in the dryer! I began to find perfectly washed Kleenex in my baskets of dry laundry as I took them out to fold. Loads of towels and socks, where no Kleenex could possibly survive the wash process, much less tumbling in a dryerthey would just be therewashed, dried and perfect! I told my husband and began showing them to him, even asking if he had put them there, because there was just no explanation. I believe this was her way of letting me know that she was still with me, on laundry day and every day.
I still find them every so often and, when I do, I get goose bumps ... and I know shes there. She is also the lost-and-found department at our housebut that is another story ...

11 January 2016
Coming off a strong 2015, the outlook for the US chemical industry in 2016 is favourable, even amid the backdrop of slower global economic growth and a less robust overall manufacturing sector, economists at the American Chemistry Council (ACC) said.
"Looking to 2016, improvements in global markets will boost demand for US chemicals, though the higher dollar will remain a headwind for exporters," said Kevin Swift, chief economist at the ACC.
"US consumer spending remains strong as further improvements in the labour market and rising confidence support growth. Auto sales are expected to edge higher and stronger gains in housing are expected as household formation accelerates," he added.
After rising 3.6% in 2015, overall US chemical production is expected to gain another 2.9% in 2016, before surging by 4.4% in 2017 and 4.8% in 2018.
Excluding pharmaceuticals, US chemical production rose by 3.8% in 2015, and is projected to increase 3.1% in 2016, 4.7% in 2017 and 5.3% in 2018.
"In the long term, the US chemical industry will grow faster than the overall US economy," said Swift. US GDP is expected to rise just 2.6% annually in 2016-2018.
The strength of the US economy, or lack thereof, was front and centre on the first trading day of 2016, with the ISM Manufacturing PMI (Purchasing Managers' Index) indicating contraction for the second consecutive month in December 2015. The reading of 48.2 for December weakened from 48.6 in November. Anything under 50 indicates contraction in the manufacturing economy, with over 50 indicating expansion.
Meanwhile, basic chemical volumes are "intensifying" and significant capacity is expected to come on stream in 2016-2018, much in the form of plastic resins, Swift noted.
For US basic chemicals, output growth in 2016 is expected to rise 3.6% following a 3.2% gain in 2015, before jumping to 5.5% in 2017 and a robust 6.7% in 2018.
"The US chemical industry continues to build momentum as announced investments in new chemical capacity persist. These investments will capitalise on the profound and sustainable competitive advantage enabled by shale gas," said Swift.
Around $158bn in over 260 individual chemical projects in the US related to shale gas have been announced or completed since 2010. Only around 8% have been completed, while 34% are either completed or under construction, noted Martha Moore, senior director, policy analysis and economics.
Among these US projects, 64% represent foreign direct investment (FDI): either foreign-owned companies or foreign-partnered, she added.
A wave of polymers capacity, primarily polyethylene (PE), is being built, and around half of that new resin capacity will be targeted for export. That compares with a current level of 20% of the major US thermoplastic resins – PE, polypropylene (PP) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) – being exported today, said Moore.
US chemical sector capital spending is projected to rise from $39.6bn in 2015, to $55.3bn by 2020, gaining 7.5% in 2016, 8.0% in 2017, 7.0% in 2018, followed by gains of 6.3% in 2019 and 5.8% in 2020, according to the ACC.
It is the driving force of overall US manufacturing construction activity, noted the ACC economists.
"The US chemical sector represents over half of total US manufacturing construction spending, even as it accounts for just 15% of overall manufacturing," said Moore.
In specialty chemicals, there was a slowdown in production growth in 2015 to 3.1% versus 6.8% in 2014 with weakness in oilfield chemicals and coatings, but the sector is expected to rebound to 3.5% in 2016, 4.1% in 2017 and 3.9% in 2018, according to the ACC.
One concern in the US economy is an inventory imbalance in manufacturing, partly caused by the high US dollar, and the downturn in the oil and gas sector impacting areas such as steel and oilfield equipment, noted Swift.
However, the economist views this imbalance as transitory.
"Despite the current weakness in manufacturing, a tipping point in downstream customer industries is being reached and will lead to strong domestic demand, which aids specialties," said Swift.
As for China, the driver of commodities demand, the economists see a slower growth trajectory for multiple years ahead.
"The years of double-digit GDP growth are over. We see this really decelerating by the end of the decade. China faces demographic headwinds, as the number of people in the labour force is peaking," said Swift.
By 2020, China's GDP growth is projected to slow to 6.0% versus 6.8% in 2015, with a further slide to an average of 5.1%/year in 2021-2025, according to the ACC.

A People united in development: Developmentalism in modern Malayalee identity
The desire for development - often defined vaguely, working as a catch-all term for economic growth, social welfare, and socialistic redistribution of resources- has been intimately linked to the construction of the idea of a `Malayalee People' as a distinct socio-cultural entity in the post-independence period. In this paper, the effort is to trace out some of these links in greater clarity. Put very briefly, the attempt is to draw upon public sphere debates in Malayalee society in the immediate post-independence decades, more specifically on speech and writing accruing around the distinctiveness of Malayalee culture and Aikya Keralam (United Kerala). Through this I hope to demonstrate the centrality of Developmentalism in both the conception of a unified `Malayalee People' and their relation with other similar entities as the other States, and the Indian state. In the conclusion I try to reflect on themes that could possibly take forward the research on Malayalee identity in the late twentieth century and after.

As for healing in wotlk on my paladin I largely spammed one button. A couple of cooldowns (loh, defensive cooldowns) but not only did I basically ignore mana as a resource I literally had one go to healing spell and no additional holy power as a resouce to use. IN so far as shamans are concerned they've just been given a battery of cds to use and keep track of. The complexity is still there. The simple fact that mana matters means that healing is far more complex. Even that alone is proof of that. I didn't heal on a shaman in wotlk though so I can't know your specific case. I did a bit in cataclysm mind you but I have no way to compare.
- - - Updated - - -
The game is not easier then ever and certainly not casual friendly or rewarding as ever. It was far easier in wotlk when I didn't need to raid and didn't have enormous ability bloat and complex procs and rotations.

Everlasting Enchantment
Sourcebooks Casablanca / December 3, 2013 / $7.99 print & digital
Sir Gareth Solimere, knight of King Arthur's Round Table, has been trapped inside Merlin's relic for centuries, cursed until he finds his one true love. When he finally finds her in the unexpected form of a beautiful were-panther named Millicent Pantere, he has to use all of his charms to try to make her love him in return. But if he manages this feat, will he finally be free to live a normal life?
Fourth in the Relics of Merlin series, Everlasting Enchantment by Kathryne Kennedy explores the initially reluctant attraction that were-panther Millicent Pantere feels for Sir Gareth Solimere, a medieval knight trapped within a magical bracelet. If you're new to the series, as I was, there's enough background given to follow the story, though I was a bit confused as to how historical it was meant to be; the English aristocracy in this world holds a very different place due to their magical abilities, and seems to keep itself much more separate from the non-magical classes than in our world. For instance, there's an Underworld that is restricted to magic users. Given the existence there of a historical Merlin, and Sir Gareth's chivalric behavior, it was clear the series takes place in a secondary world rather than our own, with the King Arthur of literature rather than a historically-based version.
The setup includes shapechangers, who are socially the lowest of those possessing magical abilities. The shapechangers are treated as less refined and less intelligent, and though they have the useful ability to "scent" magical relics, this leads to them being treated like hunting animals rather than colleagues by the other magic users. Many of the shapechangers, though English, take the forms of African animals, which might be a reference to European colonialism.
The opening scenes of the story have a flavor of My Fair Lady, with Millicent having been coerced by an evil duke into attending a society ball.
As if she had any hope of fooling them into thinking she was a lady. The door of the coach flew open and the duke's footman leered in at her. "Time for the ball, Cinderella."
Millicent's low growl turned into a snarl. She had the satisfaction of seeing the footman blink with fear before the duke spoke from the seat across from her. "You'd best behave yourself," he remarked, those black eyes glittering even in the shadows. "We've doused you with perfume but we can't be sure it will entirely hide your scent from the other shape-shifters. You animals have such gifted noses."
Millicent tried to take a deep breath but her new corset stopped her halfway. The blasted thing crackled whenever she moved, the fabric stiff against her back and belly, the whalebone inserts lacking the suppleness of age and wear. When she gathered her brocade skirts together and exited the carriage, they felt just the same—stiff and unnatural.
…"You look lovely, my dear. See to it that all the months of preparation are not wasted tonight."
"It won't work," snapped Millicent as she took his arm with a forced smile, revealing the slightly long canines at the corners of her mouth. "You can't turn an animal into a lady in just a few months."
Gareth, meanwhile, operates under a code of chivalry, and isn't used to women who don't need his protection and resist his charm; he's a bit vain, so it's fun to see him taken down a peg. Millicent, for quite a while, appears indifferent to him. She needs the relic in which he is imprisoned, for her own purposes; the man inside is merely a complication.
"Forgive me, my lady, for failing to protect you."
"Very gallant of you, I'm sure, but I hardly needed your protection. I thought one of my own kind would be more of a challenge, but he fought like an overgrown hyena."
…This was the part where she begged him to rise and fell into his arms. When it became apparent that she had no intention of doing so, Gareth stood. How did he seduce a woman tougher than the blade of his sword?
Though physical attraction and shared goals do eventually draw the two together, I enjoyed the contrast in their worldviews, and the resulting conflict. Millicent has no reason to trust Gareth or his motives, and several reasons to distrust them. He must prove himself to her, like a knight on a quest, and in the process prove himself worthy to the reader as well.

Report: Matsuzaka talks stalled
Report: Matsuzaka talks stalled
The Boston Herald reported Sunday that talks have cooled off for the time being, with just a precious few days left before the midnight ET deadline at the end of Thursday.
The paper reported that, according to a "well-placed" source, Matsuzaka's agent Scott Boras has acted disinterested and has been frustrated with the financial impact of the Japanese posting system on negotiations with the Red Sox.
It should be noted, however, that both sides still have every motivation to get a deal done and there is still time to accomplish that goal. Matsuzaka has basically already said all his goodbyes in Japan and is eager to pitch in the Major Leagues.
And as for the Red Sox themselves, they have constructed much of their offseason blueprint around Matsuzaka anchoring their 2007 rotation, along with Curt Schilling.
Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein has said all along that he will have no further comment on the Matsuzaka situation until "the process is complete."
Boras, aside from offering plenty of complaints about the posting system, hasn't discussed any details of the negotiations with Boston.
The Red Sox won the exclusive negotiating rights to Matsuzaka with a record $51.11 million bid on Nov. 14 and were granted a 30-day window to get a deal done with Boras.
The Seibu Lions have had financial troubles of late, so conceivably they wouldn't be pleased with the prospect of not receiving the posting fee.
Should a deal not get done by midnight Thursday, Matsuzaka would not be able to play in the Majors this season and would likely have to return to Japan to play in 2007. He isn't eligible for outright free agency until after the 2008 season.
Though both sides have kept the negotiations intensely private, reports have indicated that Boston's initial offer was between $7 million and $8 million annually over four to six years, while Boras was seeking an average annual value of approximately $15 million.

Kevyn Aucoin Eyelash Curler
I really love this curler! I have stick straight lashes and I've tried some other curlers which have a flatter eye cushion which make the lashes look more square when curled, or as if a tight hair roller was put in it- very unnatural looking. This one has a more round cushion pad making it look more natural, but still looks like you used a curler on it. This curler really does make a difference and since it can last almost forever, it is worth getting a nicer one like this. It also comes with an extra eye cushion which is great. I love many of the other Aucoin products I've tried, so it was no surprise that this is as close to PERFECTION as an eyelash curler can get! It really opens my eyes, even without mascara! Do yourself a HUGE favor and at least give it a shot; it's SO well worth it.
I really need to invest in one of these. Every time I see one online I think about buying one but I haven't yet. But they are quite important to every girls make up cycle.Tags: beauty, beauty products, makeup, mascara, steel, tools, gold, hand-crafted, cosmeticsAdded 9 Years Ago from Sephora

The counterfeit versions, apparently made in Asia, were sold at huge discounts over the Internet and in stores around the world by distributors connected to the counterfeiters, investigators said. Undercover agents bought US$5.5 million worth of the fake software.
In another aspect of the alleged piracy, Mirza Ali, 54, and Sameena Ali, 48, a husband-and-wife team in Fremont, are accused of buying up companies that were licensed to resell Microsoft products at a steep discount to educational institutions. Instead of reselling the products to schools, the Alis allegedly sold the software to some of the dealers who were arrested. That scheme alone cost Microsoft more than US$100 million, the FBI said.
A phone number for the Alis could not be found.
The packaging for the counterfeit software was generally so realistic that few consumers could tell they weren't buying the real thing. In fact, Microsoft investigators have found counterfeit software in police departments, government agencies and large corporations, said Richard LaMagna, the company's director of piracy investigation.
Mueller said people should "look askance" at software offered for one-tenth the normal retail price. He warned that phony software might damage users' computers and doesn't carry the technical support that comes with the real products.

Posts Tagged 'led transformer'
Transforming a corporation — no matter if finding a inadequately accomplishing business heading in the right direction or taking a world-class organization for the subsequent degree — is probably the most complex management problems you might ever come across. It is actually also among the list of most rewarding. Transformer sign
Although you can find absolutely no one-size-fits-all design for organizational transformation, you'll find 5 essential concepts that underlay all productive transformations.
one. Create the "Why" as well as the "What" to the Transformation.
The "Why" is a crisp, unambiguous, conveniently recognized reason the organization really should adjust that can be articulated in any respect levels of the corporation… and the equally straightforward, distinct ramifications of not shifting. Take the time to craft the chatting points your management staff will use whenever an individual asks them – "Why are we altering?" Make certain that your leadership team understands the "Why" and can articulate the advantages from the improve, not simply towards the corporation, but for the folks that comprise it.
Leaders frequently soar directly into execution on the adjust without having having the mandatory time to define the "Why" in such a method concerning create an underlying vision for that transformation. When you have not taken the time to refine your reply to this predictable concern, and ensured that the leadership team will response it continually, you might never ever defeat organizational complacency. The "Why" makes the inspiration to vary – a vital bit of the process. The "What" defines precisely what exactly is altering and creates the eyesight for just what the group will become just after adapting to the new reality.
"What" is changing has to be particular and may be crafted along with the identical deliberateness since the "Why". The 2 in shape collectively and feed just one an additional. As an example, "We are switching to become more aggressive due to the fact we're shedding current market share to corporations that have centered on lessening functioning fees. To accomplish this we have been going to streamline our logistics operation to include a bigger reliance on outsourced third party vendors. This will likely give us the pliability to only buy the products and services we want and place us to raised protect our workforce from marketplace perturbations." As a transformation chief, utilizing the power of eyesight, based in quickly comprehended and constantly communicated aspects, is an absolute requirement – and crafting and generating that vision need to be priority a person.
two. Over-communicate the "Why" and the "What".
All way too typically leaders inform the staff at the time inside a mass email or memo posted about the corporations inner web page and move on to execute the "change". Remember, your organization's culture is firmly anchored in how you function these days and without the need of convincing the workers (the team that is truly remaining personally impacted because of the adjust) of the necessity and inevitability of improve, there will not certainly be a thriving transformation.
Find your Energy Players. Power Gamers are these workers which might be connected during the corporation at multiple ranges – those whom every person appreciates and goes to for counsel all through periods of transform or uncertainty. Power Players aren't just Senior Executives or Vice Presidents… in fact, not all Senior Executives or Vice Presidents are Energy Gamers. You might be not searching for organizational authority but fairly people with organizational affect. Imagine from the personnel that everyone respects or seeks out for information – acquire them in excess of to your "Why" along with the "What" and their influence will assist the transformation.
three. Your individual Determination.
Reworking your corporation is your full-time position. Anything you need to do needs to be inside the context of that transformation and you simply must know that every single action you take and each assertion you make will possibly boost the transformation or undermine it.
That is exceptionally really hard to carry out on your own therefore you will need a small group of powerful supporters to manual the transformation. This Coalition on the Committed ought to aim on follow-through, messaging and accountability. They have being empowered to call you within the matters that you just do that will not strengthen the inevitability of transform or undermine the "Why" as well as the "What".
A essential results of your own commitment as well as your personal involvement in the working day to working day transformation procedure is going to be your ability to eliminate road blocks for the transformation. Road blocks will come up, not merely during the context of resistance to change but from the context of unintended effects. Inside our example of streamlining your logistics procedure it's achievable which the impacts of that modify were not perfectly understood plus your scoping group missed the impact of the workload shift from a human source division in your invoicing division. Your own engagement will probably be needed to make sure which the transformation will not stall, eliminate momentum and simply fade away.
four. Bravery.
Remaining a Change Agent is tough, and occasionally, personalized. The ones that got down to resist this transformation, or perhaps resist all transformations, will either passively or actively undermine the transform.
You might want the courage to create confident individuals recognize that the organization will rework – with or without them. Be straight-forward through the starting – accept that not all staff members will "make the trip". Allow them to understand that you, because the leader, are ready to accept that. Some personnel will elect to depart rather then embrace the "Why" plus the "What" – you are going to need to be brave plenty of to determine the ones that do not make your mind up by themselves to leave but usually do not guidance the transformation – and decide for them.
This appears easy – we terminate personnel "all the time". Other than a lot of us genuinely you should not. The harm to the transformation prompted by 1 vocal resister is actually awesome – and often the assaults can become particular. You cannot tolerate destructive behavior in the transformation as the problems it generates within just your organization is long lasting. More, in the event you think within the "Why" as well as "What", the ramifications of not shifting set your full corporation at risk.
five. Established the Hook.
Recall how tricky it is to push transform? Running to take care of the status quo is not difficult but main the transformation of an firm is tough. This is certainly for the reason that your organizational culture is anchored in how you do "it" nowadays. As a Change Agent you have to anchor the transformed elements of your business in the tradition for it being a lasting alter. You must Set the Hook.
Vigilance is essential and also you need to continuously concentration around the particulars. I at the time viewed an govt undo months of exertions by referring for the new firm, which we had been building and branding, from the previous organization's name. The outdated methods really are a relaxed routine, effortless to slide again into – like a chief you will need to emphasis on the noticeable cues that fortify the brand new and perpetually guard towards those that reintroduce the previous. It's the tiny things that end up mattering most. When consolidating formerly unbiased corporations right into a single company device ensure that you modify indicators, get rid of old stationary and print anyone new organization cards – these minor visual reminders in the cherished earlier insert as many as an enormous anchor holding the organization set up.
Last but not least, don't declare the transformation more than till it is actually genuinely above. Reinforce the "new way" regularly, regardless if it is truly not so "new" any longer and three a long time from now, you'll hear anyone make reference to the "new way" given that the "way we now have normally done it here". Then you really will know you've got succeeded.

Morning Word: Primary elections come today
- Today is election day. Polls will be open from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm across the state. If you're in line at 7:00, you will get to vote, no matter how long it takes. Also don't forget that tonight shortly before the polls close, there will be an election-night liveblog both here and at the Santa Fe Reporter's website.
- The Las Cruces city council voted to raise the minimum wage to $8.50 per hour by the start of 2016.
The rates will rise to $8 per hour in July 2015 and $8.50 in January 2016 from New Mexico's current $7.50 per hour.
Some supporters of a higher minimum wage increase said they were concerned Monday's move was designed to detract from their own proposal — pursued via a petition-gathering drive — to raise pay to $10.10 per hour by 2017 in a three-phased approach.
The cities of Santa Fe and Albuquerque raised their minimum wages and Bernalillo County and Santa Fe County followed suit.
- Democrats are critical of how Secretary of State Dianna Duran is handling a campaign complaint by Lawrence Rael.
- Forgot to mention this yesterday, but thanks to all the readers. Last month was the second-best month of traffic in site history — only behind March of this year. With April being the third best traffic month, that means that the top three traffic months in site history all came in the last three months. Thank you for continuing to keep NM Telegram running.
And look out for later this month when we start a new type of funding to make sure the site is self-reliant.
- All five Democratic candidates for governor appeared at a rally on Monday evening.
As has held true for the entire primary campaign the contenders refrained from taking jabs one another, instead directing their fire at incumbent Republican Gov. Susana Martinez, who has no challenger on the GOP primary ballot.
The Democratic hopefuls are Attorney General Gary King, state Sen. Linda Lopez of Albuquerque, state Sen. Howie Morales of Silver City, veteran government administrator Lawrence Rael and retired magazine publisher Alan Webber of Santa Fe.
- Here are the final early and absentee voting figures.
This year, 39,515 Democrats voted early in New Mexico, while a total of 7,794 absentee ballots have been received so far, for a total of 47,308.
These figures are from the Secretary of State's Office.
The numbers are slightly up from 2010, when 32,247 early in-person voters in the Democratic primary, plus 12,775 Democrats who voted absentee, for a total of 45,022.
In 2010, there was not a contested gubernatorial primary.
- The Albuquerque Journal looks at legislators donating to other candidates and PACs.
Lawmakers reported making more than $160,000 in contributions to fellow legislators, candidates for public office and political committees. They also made more than $25,000 in charitable donations.
In addition to permitting campaign funds to be spent on actual campaign expenses, New Mexico law allows candidates for state and county offices to contribute to other candidates and political parties, as well as make donations to nonprofit groups or the state general fund.
- Allen Weh announced that his campaign was endorsed by former presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee.
- The Farmington Daily-Times looks at area primaries where the winner faces no current general election competition.
- Republican House candidate Vincent Chiravalle says a PAC called New Mexico Future PAC is targeting him. An NM Future PAC received $8,000 in the last campaign finance cycle, including $3,000 from the Committee to Elect Nate Gentry. A total of $2,450 went to McCleskey media Strategies for "media consulting." The PAC had previously donated to the campaign of Rep. Zach Cook, R-Ruidoso.
- Thirteen protesters were arrested after a sit-in at City Hall.
- Here's video of the 13 protesters being arrested after trying to deliver letters to Albuquerque mayor Richard Berry. Berry was out of town.
- The scheduled city council meeting was canceled following the protest.
- Berry wants to APD union to stop payments given to police officers to help them get away and decompress after they shoot someone.
- Some legislators want to reform prison sentencing.
Maestas, D-Albuquerque, says a cold killer convicted of second-degree murder faces a sentence of up to 15 years in prison. But a drug seller convicted of a second offense gets a mandatory prison term of 18 years.
The system, he says, is inflexible enough to misfire and hurt taxpayers. That's because a thick-headed drug buyer who accepts his rocks of crack cocaine in five separate baggies can be sentenced as a distributor and end up doing more time than a murderer.
- Advocates are fighting for judicial reform for incarcerated mothers.
Young Women United traveled to Santa Fe last week to make four recommendations to the Criminal Justice Reform Subcommittee. Among them, judges should acknowledge pregnancy and lactation status when determining the conditions of bond or release.
- Some students criticized state exams in the essay portion of that test.
There were possibly more than a dozen Albuquerque students that did not write the end of course exam essay in two subjects as instructed. Instead, they wrote letters slamming standardized tests, the Public Education Department, Secretary [sic] Hanna Skandera and even mentioned Governor Susana Martinez.
- The State Land Office named Ed Martin to head its Oil and Gas division.
Martin previously worked at Western Geophysical Company, in Houston, for 12 years and for the 20 years after that at the Oil Conservation Division of the New Mexico Energy, Minerals, and Natural Resources Department (EMNRD).
- Gov. Susana Martinez will be holding a summit in Albuquerque with the governor of Utah on economic development.
- The state is shelling out $200,000 to design a new warehouse for the defense contractor Raytheon on the Navajo Nation.
- More job losses in New Mexico. This time, it is 300 jobs as a molybdenum mine in northern New Mxico is shutting down. The shutdown of the Chevron mine may be permanent.
- The Los Alamos Daily Post looks at Attorney General Gary King and his wife.
- Drought and Fire Digest:
The Rio Grande will rise briefly because of melting Colorado snowpack.
The Ruidoso News looks at the use of goats to remove wildfire fuel in Licoln County.
"Goat grazing is used all over the West," he said Monday. "We're using them here to graze sacaton, which causes highly flammable conditions. Mowing leaves the material on the ground. It's not removing it. With goats, the fuel (for wildfire) is removed and any invasive seeds are destroyed in their gut. We'll probably be there several weeks this summer."
Fireworks restrictions were passed by the Las Cruces city council.
- The EPA announced new carbon emission rules.
- It isn't clear how the regulations will affect PNM.
- PNM is going to add four more solar power plants. This will bring PNM's solar capacity to over 100 megawatts.
- Buzzfeed look sat the "bizarre" lobbying of state and local governments by the government of Azerbaijan. Yes, New Mexico is included.
New Mexico State Senator Jerry Ortiz y Pino told BuzzFeed that he introduced a Khojaly memorial at the request of the Turkish community and the "honorary Azeri consul" in Albuquerque. He said he and a delegation of New Mexico legislators had visited Azerbaijan in 2012.
"Many New Mexico legislators (me among them) have travelled in the past five years to Turkey for meetings with Turkish legislators and to Azerbaijan for meetings with Azeri officials and legislators," Ortiz y Pino said. "We have also hosted a delegation of Turkish elected officials during their visit to the US a couple of years ago. The Azeri government is keen to repair its image in the US press and has undertaken a strong initiative among state legislators to impress us with how supportive they are of the US government and its people."
It passed the Senate unanimously and a similar memorial, which was sponsored by Rep. Nora Espinoza, R-Roswell, passed the House unanimously. Memorials are symbolic and don't have the force of law. They are usually non-controversial.
This article says that New Mexico has sent more lawmakers to a conference in Azerbaijan than any other state. Gov. Bill Richardson went one year.
- Española's public safety director was named the new chief of police in Santa Fe.
- Curry County may join a lawsuit against the federal government for listing the Lesser Prairie Chicken as "threatened."
- The White Sands Missile Range commander will be stepping down on Friday. She will head to Michigan to become commander of the U.S. Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command.
- A New mexico biopharmaceutical company was sold for $110 million.

UF shooting guard Michael Frazier being tested for mono
Published: Thursday, October 17, 2013 at 10:41 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 17, 2013 at 10:41 a.m.
Sophomore shooting guard Michael Frazier III is being tested for mononucleosis, Florida coach Billy Donovan said Thursday.
"The only thing we're worried about is does he have mono, that's the biggest fear," Donovan said during SEC media days in Birmingham, Ala. "And if he does, that's a three-week to a month, him being out of competition, out of playing, out of everything. I don't know that to be the case. Apparently you can have a false positive test … as of right now he just has a virus that's prevented him from practicing.
Frazier averaged 5.6 points and 3.1 rebounds for the Gators last season and shot a team high 46.8 percent from 3-point range, The 6-foot-4 sophomore from Tampa is expected to step into a bigger role this season.
Florida remains banged up through the first week-and-a-half of practices. Center Damontre Harris remains out with a hamstring injury, leaving Florida with just seven scholarship players and two walk-ons available for practice. Forward Will Yeguete (knee surgery) and guard Eli Carter (broken leg) remain out of practice.

Chennai: Tamil Film industry is really gleaming since the fraternity has bagged many accolades this year, thus 2012 will be a remarkable year for Kollywood. The six National Awards have been fetched by the Tamil movies. The awards like Indira Gandhi Award for Best First Film of a Director for the flick Aaranya Kaandam, Best Editing for Aaranya Kaandam, Best Tamil Film for Vaagai Sooda Vaa and Best Non – Feature Film on Family Values for Red Building where the Sun Sets made the industry much noticeable.
Where many are enjoying and feeling proud of these awards, there are certain directors and producers who are not delighted with the outcomes of the National Awards and claim that some foul play has been done in the results. The renowned filmmaker like A. R. Murugadoss, where congratulated the winners, also showed his unhappiness about not winning the awards for his flick 'Engeyum Eppodhum'.
Since the ones who did not bag any award have been raising the claims of foul play in results, the industry stalwarts utter that it is not new that this kind of buzz has come up since whenever the awards function happens, the ones who do not win blame on the results.
The prominent actress Khushboo utters that whenever awards are out; the losers raise the fingers on the organizers. She goes on saying that the fact should be accepted that our industry gets recognized and it is the moment of utter pride. She also mentions that one should understand that this year the jury has been liberal about the regional cinema. Thus who bagged, they deserved.
Revathy, the three times National Award winner, has bagged the Best Director Award for Non Feature Film on Family Values for Red Building Where the Sun Sets. She says that the award for her movie shows that they young blood is appreciated.

"Skyfall" plays a dangerously good game
The James Bond franchise celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, and what better way to celebrate such a long-standing series than with a film centered around its foundation's near destruction?
Bond is obviously no stranger to tight spots, but in "Skyfall," the series' buzzy new installment, all of MI6 gets put on the front lines as a dangerous figure from M's past returns and threatens to bring down the entirety of Britain's famed secret agency.
The stakes are raised from the start as "Skyfall" opens with not just a failed crucial mission, but the dramatic loss of Bond in the field. Naturally, he's not down for the count – there's still a whole movie to get through – but the tension is very much there, and the traditional lengthy opening credit sequence, laced with dark images of blood, gravestones and skulls, doesn't do much to relieve it.
It's appropriate that "Skyfall" shakes up the audience so soon. Not long after, it doles out the same treatment on M (Judi Dench) and MI6. After botching the film's opening mission, which sought to retrieve a stolen hard drive containing the names, aliases and locations of every MI6 operative, M and her covert branch have come under serious fire regarding whether they actually serve a purpose in today's techno-savvy age of government intelligence. On the flip side, they've come under much more literal fire as the hard drive's new owner, the mysterious Silva (played by a very blond Javier Bardem), seeks to destroy their entire operation inside and out.
What follows is a smart face-off between adversaries as M's past with Silva collides with her present with Bond. Silva's simple-yet-devious battle of skill and wits between himself and M's favorite agent seeks not just to destroy his opposition but unnerve and humiliate in the process. The hero and villain enter an action-laced game of modified chess: one's trying to protect its queen, and the other – with nothing to lose and nothing he won't sacrifice in his relentless pursuit – wants nothing else but to take her down.
"Skyfall" presents these polar adversaries in a very elegant and very Bond-ian way. Silva's spiteful, new-school villain is a computer-hacking mastermind with encryptions to fool even the best at MI6. At the same time, he's still backed by a notoriously violent pack of gun-toting thugs and holds court on a self-commandeered island.
Daniel Craig's James Bond, on the other hand, is still the roguish, plays-by-his-own-rules 007 that's kept the franchise alive for so long, but at the same time adheres to his ethics and most of all to his loyalties to M. He plays the traditionalist: he's not impressed by any of Silva's bells and whistles – and isn't afraid to say so. All he sees is a threat that needs to be neutralized.
The conflict between new school and old school is evident throughout the film, both in this primary face-off and behind the scenes, where the battle for MI6's continued relevance in the world of modern British intelligence is being waged. These two plots collide for an appropriate final match-up, which pits Silva and a slew of semi-automatics, thugs and firepower against Bond and M's arsenal of makeshift explosives, booby-trap rigs and (How could they not?) the iconic Aston Martin.
Interestingly enough, "Skyfall" also takes a bit of a gamble by introducing audiences to some of Bond's backstory. It's a risky move to humanize an icon like James Bond: spend too much time examining what makes him who he is and the character could lose his enigmatic luster.
Thankfully, this film didn't dwell on his early years more than was necessary to advance the plot, and it ended up being interesting insight to Bond and M's dynamic. I hope, however, that future films don't go further, or they run the risk of blending the illustrious Bond name in with the Jason Bournes and Batmans of the movie world.
I'm sure it's a crime to get this far into a review of a Bond movie without mentioning a Bond girl, but as Sévérine, the latest bombshell to succumb to Bond's rakish charms, French actress Bérénice Marlohe served a decent but only minor role. The female presence instead was dominated by fellow agent Eve ("POTC: At World's End"'s Naomie Harris) and M, which is only fitting, given that this installment was driven almost entirely by her involvement, past and present, with MI6.
The same can also be said for the customary exotic scenery. It's an eye-pleasing diversion, but plays only a minor role to the plot. Yes, there are pretty girls and aesthetic shots of faraway locations, but "Skyfall" is all about the turmoil at hand – and rightly so. It's tense, tightly shot, well-acted and everything a modern Bond movie is expected to be. It doesn't revel in all things Bond like "Casino Royale" did, but as an action movie it's very, very good.

"Gangster Squad" takes sensationalized aim at gangland nostalgia
Published Jan. 11, 2013
Classic gangsters loved a good embarrassment of riches. And for a movie like "Gangster Squad," showing off is fine. But, when the swanky style of the era meets the stylized swank of the movie's own excesses, things get out of hand.

It feels like not a week goes by without someone posting something about how Facebook's invading everyone's privacy, spying on your browser history, etc., ad nauseum.

Well, it took director Quentin Tarantino 20 years, but he finally got his Western ... kinda. Although it's fair to say he's been preparing his entire career with his raucously bloody shoot-'em-ups, Tarantino's time warming up has been well spent if "Django Unchained" is the final result
"This is 40" is a movie in mid-life crisis
Published Dec. 21, 2012
Unlike most middle-aged men, Judd Apatow can afford a whole garage of Camaros and Mustangs. So, it makes sense that his mid-life crisis would manifest not with a youthful car buy, but by splurging on the production of a new movie.
