Reform-minded prime minister takes over in Algeria
Algeria's battered business community started Monday with a sense of cautious anticipation, following the resignation over the weekend of Prime Minister Ahmed Benbitour, and President Abdelaziz Bouteflika immediate appointment of Ali Benflis in his place.
The 56-year-old Benflis has the reputation of a reformist, and it is hoped by many that he will accelerate plans to privatize this country's telecommunications and mining sectors, which in turn could jumpstart the country's almost dormant capital markets. A lawyer by training, he served as justice minister in a number of previous administrations. He most recently was Bouteflika's chief of staff, after managing his presidential election campaign in 1999.
Benflis' close relationship with the Algerian president has led to speculation that Bouteflika was looking for even greater control over the country's bureaucracy, ahead of a referendum that will decide whether the presidential term will be extended to seven years from the current five. But Bouteflika is also clearly hoping that his new prime minister will revitalize Algeria's fragile economy, an area in which Benbitour was judged to have failed.
Given the fact that oil prices have skyrocketed over the past year, and that oil and gas represent more that 97 percent of Algeria's exports, Benbitour should have had much going for him. Indeed, oil revenues rose from $1.29 billion in July 1999 to $1.6 billion in July 2000. But, despite the fact that the country's trade surplus rose to reach $809 million in July 2000, compared to $507 million in the same period last year, the economy remains burdened with more than $31 billion in foreign debt and an unemployment rate that exceeds 30 percent.
To make matters worse, Algeria's capital markets are practically in suspended animation. Only four companies have entered the Bourse d'Alger (BA) thus far in 2000, and the volume of activity that these stocks have generated have barely been able to sustain the country's five authorized brokerage firms. In fact, the general lack of activity may eventually force both the brokerage houses and the bourse to cease operating.
In response to this danger, capital market investors have called upon the Algerian finance ministry to be proactive in attracting new listings. A number of state-owned firms, such as industrial gas manufacturer ENGI, El-Djazair Hotel and Socothyd, have said that they are prepared to launch initial public offerings once receiving the government's go-ahead.
In the meantime, parliament has approved a new post and telecommunications law, which is meant to reform the telecommunications sector by opening it up to private entrepreneurs under a concession regime, and at the same time setting up a state agency that will grant mobile phone licenses. Currently, the Administration de Postes et Telecommunication (PTT) monopoly maintains about1.5 million fixed line subscribers and 60,000 mobile phone users. An international tender for the sale of a mobile telephone license will be launched early next year.
During his first days in office, the new Algerian prime minister is taking a careful approach. There are few new faces in his cabinet, with the communications and territorial development ministries being the only economic departments that saw a change at their head. New ministers were also appointed to foreign affairs, and health and the environment. — (Albawaba-MEBG)

'Brave' hits the target with Pixar's first female lead
VAN NUYS, Calif. – Under the watchful eye of an archery instructor, Kelly Macdonald slowly draws back the string on her lightweight recurve bow until her left hand reaches the bottom of her jaw. She takes a relaxed breath while eyeing the target 25 feet away at the Woodley Park Archery Range and releases the arrow.
It sails high, landing with authority in the purple foam wall — missing her target by at least 3 feet.
"Oh, for God's sake," Macdonald cries as she surveys her shot. "My eyes fail me. I think I need glasses."
Fortunately, actual archery skills were not needed for Macdonald's work on Brave, Pixar's animated tale (opening today) of the Scottish princess Merida, who can wield her bow and arrow with deadly accuracy even from atop her faithful horse, Angus.
"I didn't have to do archery. I didn't even have to ride a horse," Macdonald says. "I didn't have to claim to do any of those things."
Actress Kelly Macdonald who is the voice of Merida in Disney/Pixar's new animated feature 'Brave', answers five questions.
Instead, the Scottish Macdonald, 36, had the task of giving voice to the passionate, rebellious teen — the first lead female hero to carry a film in Pixar's 26-year history. By all accounts, she hit the bull's-eye.
"Kelly has a true Scottish spunkiness in her," says Brenda Chapman, one of Brave's directors, who originally imagined the characters. "And that really comes through. Princess Merida is a girl with a great spirit. And Kelly is able to depict that. There's a sweetness and an appeal in Kelly that she infuses in Merida. Yet there's a strength. Kelly has it in spades."
Though the critically lauded and immensely popular film studio has featured its share of strong female characters, the story of Merida's turbulent relationship with her by-the-royal-book mother, Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson), breaks through as an action-filled fairy tale set along a female story line.
"The fact Merida is the first lead heroine was sort of news to me well after I started working," Macdonald says. "When I do think about it, it gives me the fear slightly. But I am very proud to be that person."
Chapman came up with the story concept eight years ago when dealing with her headstrong daughter Emma, then 5. "The relationship with my daughter is what really sparked it for me. She was saying things at that age that an actual teenager would say," Chapman says. "And I was thinking, 'Oh, my God, what's she going to be like as an actual teenager?' And it evolved from that."
Soon, the tale of a willful young woman attempting to break out of the restrictions of royal life — and forced marriage — came to life. In Chapman's view, it's the world with a hero gender-gap issue.
"You don't have a strong female character in a fairy tale that isn't waiting around for a prince to show up," Chapman says. "I wanted to pay homage to a fairy tale, set in that world, yet not give you the same old character."
Originally, Reese Witherspoon voiced Merida. But when Mark Andrews replaced Chapman as the film's director in 2010 (Pixar and Chapman cite "creative differences," and Chapman still maintains a director's credit), the Legally Blonde actress had to step aside because of commitments that did not allow her to voice the extensive story reworking.
Witherspoon "was rocking the Scottish accent," Andrews insists. "But she had to bow out since she had other stuff to do."
The Emmy-winning Mac-donald (for 2005's The Girl in the Cafe) immediately popped onto his radar. Bonus points: The Glasgow-born Macdonald had the appropriate accent, and it wasn't too thick. "It's good because I'm understandable," Macdonald says. "A lot of Glaswegians have a hard time being understood."
Macdonald had the right mind-set as well, growing up fantasizing about her favorite movie character —Calamity Jane, played by Doris Day in the 1953 Hollywood musical by the same name. Settling down on a bench near the archery range, Macdonald even proudly shows off her well-worn fringed suede boots she calls her "Calamity Janes."
"I used to watch the movie constantly, twice a day during the summer," Macdonald says. "Calamity Jane is actually quite like Merida. The same sort of tomboy character who does things her own way. She sort of does things wrong and then makes them better."
Cultivating a quiet strength
At 20, Macdonald broke out as a headstrong schoolgirl in 1996's Trainspotting.
"Now she was feisty," Macdonald says. "I started out being feisty, and then I got lost along the way."
But Macdonald continued playing quietly strong characters in acclaimed productions such as 2007's No Country for Old Men and HBO's Boardwalk Empire. On Boardwalk, Macdonald's Margaret Schroeder has transformed from what creator Terence Winter calls a "mousy little housewife" into a true "fighter" who even crossed her crime boss husband big-time in last fall's Season 2 finale.
Much of the upcoming season will deal with the repercussions of Schroeder's secret decision to sign away Nucky Thompson's (Steve Buscemi) ill-gotten land to the church.
"You start to see that there is a deceptive strength to this character," Winter says. "When she needs to be feisty and tough, you see that part of her personality. Kelly can bring all sides of this."
Macdonald's inner teen
The challenge for Brave was bringing those traits into Macdonald's voice for a truly animated performance. It's not normally Macdonald's way to be that out there.
"Kelly is much more internal as an actor. She commands that presence on film," Andrews says. "That's totally void in voice acting. She had to be really outspoken and suddenly be an extrovert. This was new and kind of uncomfortable for her at first."
Macdonald took a simple approach. "I just sort of channeled my inner teenager," she says.
The action aspects of the job were created in the sound studio, with Andrews literally shaking Macdonald during some of the action scenes while she threw punches in the air, or having her run in place to inspire Merida's movement.
"It was a very physical process to draw out the physicality," Andrews says.
The result is that 5-foot-3 Macdonald sounds entirely at home in athletic Merida, who proves to be a strong role model for girls, with her independent spirit and real body image — gymnast legs and powerful arms. Chapman says her now- 13-year-old daughter has a role model to counterbalance her favorite TV shows, which feature "girls that are really skinny and snotty to their parents."
"She's very proud of Merida," Chapman says. "She recognizes a lot of herself in the film. But she's a teenager. She likes the good and the bad. I'm happy she can relate to stronger characters who are not all about makeup."
Move over, Katniss
The movie marketplace seems ready to take the character on as well, proven by another bow-wielding heroine — Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen, who led The Hunger Games' $402 million box-office charge.
"The Hunger Games has shown that female-centric films can have massive appeal and certainly cross over to male audiences," says Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. He foresees Brave as the clear winner this weekend with an estimated $60 million box office (putting it in the range of Pixar's Cars 2, which opened a year ago).
"Princess Merida is going to take out the competition," he says.
Macdonald, who has a 4-year-old son, Freddie (with her husband, Dougie Payne, the bassist for the Scottish band Travis), says she finds it hilarious that Merida will take her place in the Disney pantheon (Pixar is owned by Disney) with the other far-daintier princesses.
"It's hysterical, Merida is the anti-princess," Macdonald says. "She's going to be skulking around Disneyland."
The actress, meanwhile, is enjoying her stint in animation, which allows her to be an action-filled teenager on-screen.
"I'm not going to be cast as a teenager ever again," she says with a laugh. "I think I can safely say that."
After all, even if Macdonald hasn't read or seen The Hunger Games, she is sure she wouldn't last in any real-life gladiatorial competition based on her own physical skills.
"I'd have to rely on my friends to help me in any Hunger Games," she says. "Does it not work like that? Well then, I'd definitely have to do a little hiding."
But Macdonald is sure her feisty heroine would give Katniss a run for the money.
"I think Princess Merida's the winner in that one," Macdonald says. "Katniss doesn't have a horse."

Pacemaker paceman bowls along in the test of time
84 yearold cricketer Brendan Lyons bowls.
Photo: Wayne Taylor
ONE Friday night in 1944, Brendan Lyons, captain of Xavier's first XI, was despairing of how to bowl to Scotch's schoolboy prodigy and future Test opener Colin McDonald. In the study hall that night, Lyons "surreptitiously" read a coaching manual in which Don Bradman advised that a fast bowler should sometimes surprise by delivering from a yard behind the stumps. First over next morning, the emboldened Lyons clean bowled McDonald.
Doubtless, Lyons' arm is not as high now. Nonetheless, there he was yesterday at Royal Park, bowling a couple of presentable overs into the teeth of a howling northerly and glaring at a batsman who pulled him disrespectfully for four.
Lyons, 80, was the most senior of the "world's oldest XI" average age 75.5, birth certificates provided which played the "world's oldest second XI", all over 70. These were men who look upon age as a sundry.
Lyons, one of 12 children of former prime minister Joe and his pioneering MP wife, Dame Enid, played more than 900 games for Old Launcestonians but few since having a pacemaker fitted two years ago. Associated blood-thinning drugs mean a blow to the head could be deadly, forcing him for the first time to wear a helmet when batting. He dislikes it.
Lyons was not the only player with augmented body parts. "They all clank like medieval armour when they walk out," said Jim Murphy, captain and most junior of the oldest XI. "But they're all bloody legends at their own clubs."
Murphy, 73, is typical. He began playing at 16 and has never stopped. His hobby in retirement from teaching is icon-making.
The "world's oldest cricket match" was the highlight of this week's interstate annual over-60s carnival. Over-60s cricket is flourishing. An Australian over-60s team toured England in September, playing one day against a fellow who had made more than 150 centuries.
Bowlers, batsmen and bats are old, but dispositions are age-old. "They all want to bat all day, and bowl all day," Murphy said. Not only that, when the beer arrived at midday yesterday, it was gone inside three-quarters of an hour.
Both umpires yesterday were 70, kids. One was Max O'Connell, who stood in the Centenary Test 30 years ago, giving out Alan Knott lbw to conclude that epic. Ten years previously, O'Connell umpired an interstate football match between Victoria, featuring Barassi, Skilton, Bedford, Jesaulenko and Hudson, and WA, starring Farmer and Cable. "I've never seen a game move so quickly," he said. "I only did six field bounces all day."
Also standing was Kevin Barker, a career umpire if there was one. "I realised when I was 13 that I was hopeless," he said. "I've never played a game of cricket or football." Notwithstanding, he is in the umpires' hall of fame in both sports.
As a goal umpire, Barker was a stickler for form; old mate Murphy said he washed and ironed his shoelaces. One half-time at Geelong, fans filled the flag cylinders with pie and sauce, which meant that when Barker inserted his starched flags for the second half, he spattered himself with gunk. "I won't say which club," he said. "But you know Collingwood."
Barker stood in five VFL grand finals, and discovered later that it would have been six if he was not overseas working as a men's shoe buyer for Myer at the time of the 1970 classic.
The scorer yesterday was Rosemary McLeod, who turned 69 on the over-60s tour of England and celebrated in a 13th century inn in Kent. She and her husband, John, are from Wandin East, where the cherries are just out. Seven of the eight life members of Wandin East are McLeods.
Rosemary has nearly always scored. "At Wandin East, there wasn't much else to do," she said. Yesterday, her book showed that the world's oldest XI has much to do before next year. "They say age shall not weary them," said Murphy. "But it does. It does."

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) - In a settlement of the government's securities fraud case against Goldman Sachs, the bank's CEO, Lloyd Blankfein, has agreed to perform two years of community service as Treasury Secretary of the United States.
At a press conference in New York, Mr. Blankfein said that as Treasury Secretary he would "continue to do God's work as I did at Goldman, but at a significant pay cut."
A Treasury Dept. spokesperson said that by performing community service as Treasury Secretary, Mr. Blankfein will be able to do less harm to the economy because he will have significantly less power than he had as Chairman of Goldman.
His experience at Goldman, however, will be "invaluable" in his new role as Treasury Secretary, the spokesperson said: "Lloyd Blankfein's years of marketing worthless securities have prepared him for the important task of selling Treasuries to the Chinese."
Mr. Blankfein is the latest in a long line of Goldman chairmen to serve as Treasury Secretary, although he is believed to be the first to do so while wearing an electronic ankle bracelet. More here.

Deconvolution When Classifying Noisy Data Involving Transformations
In the present study, we consider the problem of classifying spatial data distorted by a linear transformation or convolution and contaminated by additive random noise. In this setting, we show that classifier performance can be improved if we carefully invert the data before the classifier is applied. However, the inverse transformation is not constructed so as to recover the original signal, and in fact, we show that taking the latter approach is generally inadvisable. We introduce a fully data-driven procedure based on cross-validation, and use several classifiers to illustrate numerical properties of our approach. Theoretical arguments are given in support of our claims. Our procedure is applied to data generated by light detection and ranging (Lidar) technology, where we improve on earlier approaches to classifying aerosols. This article has supplementary materials online.

Then Emma discovers a lump in her breast, and we are swept along a sad yet predictable path where everyone deserves sympathy and tries their best.
Her doctor tells Emma that chemo and radiation therapy are not compatible with pregnancy. Simon suggests a second opinion. We are then taken through a large hospital with "mass-processing" seemingly stamped on the walls. Yet it's here that a caring team effort with various specialists is introduced. The baby is delivered early and healthy and Emma probably has a few years to live.
Why is it that I can shed tears one moment and feel I already know what's coming the next? If you haven't previously been exposed to the harsh realities of cancer and the imminent possibility of death then this film will feel much stronger.

Test ends in draw as bad light thwarts England
Page Tools
Bad light on the fifth day forced a draw in the second cricket Test between South Africa and England.
The tourists needed only two wickets to record a ninth straight Test win when play was called off.
South Africa, which was set a target of 378, was 8-290 in its second innings when the umpires offered the light to the batsmen with 15 overs remaining in the match, much to the disgust of England captain Michael Vaughan.
England's players decided not to return to the dressing room and sat down on the turf in case the light improved.
However, the game was called off.
Despite their disappointment, England has gone through 2004 without losing, winning 11 out of 13 matches.
Jacques Rudolph's 61 was South Africa's top score while England pace bowler Matthew Hoggard took 2-58 and Steve Harmison claimed 2-62.
England won the first Test by seven wickets in Port Elizabeth last Tuesday and take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series into the third Test in Cape Town on Sunday.

Faculty/Staff Spotlight
Jermaine L. Pearson is a Graduate Assistant in the Office of Multicultural Programs and Services at Emory. He joined the staff of the OMPS Office in September, 2013 to assist with the launch of a new initiative which focuses on the support and retention of black males at Emory. Jermaine is pursuing a Master of Divinity Degree from the Candler School of Theology. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Marketing Communication with a concentration in Public Relations from Columbia College Chicago.
Graduate Degree: M.S. in Management and Leadership, Pepperdine University
Doctoral Degree: One day...one day...
Previous Position(s):
Coordinator of Alumni Relations, Pepperdine University
Assistant to the Director of African American Cultural Affairs, Columbia College Chicago
An Interview with Jermaine L. Pearson:
> Why did you choose to pursue a career in Higher Education?
While at my previous undergraduate institution, University of Illinois-Chicago, I worked in an office that supported and recruited African Americans to the campus. I would often visit high schools with my boss and serve as a student representative sharing my experiences of campus life. Because I looked much older and always dressed in a professional manner, the high school counselors often mistook me as the recruiter from the school. It was quite funny when I would reveal that I was just a junior in the college. They couldn't believe it and were impressed that I knew so much about the university. It was through these experiences that I really saw myself working in higher education.
> Why did you choose to attend Emory?
I'm a city boy! While I was looking at other schools in various parts of the country, having been raised in Chicago, and having lived in Los Angeles for some time, I knew that a small city was not a good fit for me. I knew I was being led into ministry and I wanted to attend a program that equipped me to be not just a minister, but a scholar as well. Unlike other top seminaries, the Candler School of Theology still has strong ties to the university and there is a wealth of resources available that we as Candler students can take advantage of. It was the ideal program, the best location, and an overall great fit.
> What do you like about the university community?
I am really impressed with the diversity of our students. They come from different backgrounds, states, and countries. I love the fact that they are able to celebrate their heritage while still being inclusive of others within the Emory community. When you walk into OMPS, you see a melting pot for culture, creativity and freedom of expression. I truly learn something new each time I come into the office and I enjoy the opportunity to work with a talented group of students. I also appreciate that Emory has an undergraduate representation of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. on campus. As a member from a different chapter, the brothers of Nu Delta were very welcoming and supportive of the events that I planned. They were integral to my successful transition here at the university. It is great to have a support system from a group of individuals who share common experiences and beliefs.
> What special talents, contributions, service or insight do you bring to the community?
I am a big ball of creativity. I endeavor to bring thought-provoking, creative ideas to OMPS and the community at large. It is my goal to utilize my expertise in event planning, to effectively engage our students of color so they can be successful academically and socially during their time at Emory. I am excited to be spearheading the launch of BLACK, the newest initiative for black males on campus which stands for Building Leaders and Cultivating Knowledge. Our signature event, The Barber Shop Series, received great reviews when we piloted the program this past semester. In addtion to the Barber Shop Series, we are planning Tailored Tuesdays, a monthly workshop series focusing on professional development and career planning for students. We have a great group of speakers and presenters for next year and are looking forward to seeing new faces at our events.

Multi-sport star Shaul is headed to Hall
Kittanning graduate Jamie Shaul is being inducted into the Armstrong County Sports Hall of Fame Sunday at Freeport's Laube Hall for his accomplishments in football.
But the 1982 graduate's athletic prowess went far beyond the gridiron.
In addition to leading a prolific offense as the Wildcats' star quarterback, Shaul was a hot-shooting guard for one of the best basketball teams in school history and was a shutdown pitcher for Kittanning's 1982 section champion baseball team.
"There are no accolades I'm looking for," said Shaul, who will join nine other new inductees in the Hall. "I'm honored to be recognized for my contributions and to be amongst these honorees. It's just a tremendous honor to be in with some of these guys."
His spot in the Hall is well deserved.
Growing up, Shaul's favorite sport was basketball. After he won some punt, pass and kick competitions, however, it was suggested to Shaul that he should put his strong arm to use on the football field.
"I had a love for basketball. I was just able to go out and play the sport," Shaul said. "Football wasn't really my first calling."
But even if his arrival was a little belated, Kittanning was grateful that he heard the pigskin calling eventually. Joining the team as a sophomore, Shaul spent one season as a backup before he inherited the starting job for his final two electric seasons.
As a junior, Shaul directed the highest-scoring offense in the Class AAA Greater Allegheny Conference and also led the conference in passing touchdowns and yards. He was all-conference for both of his seasons as a starter and still holds the record for longest touchdown pass in school history — though he'll admit that much of the credit for his 91-yard completion should be given to receiver Bill Atwood, considering it was a screen.
"I had good team members around me and good offensive linemen," Shaul said. "That group of guys we had, we worked well together."
Shaul was a part of even more successful group on the school's basketball team.
In 1982, as a senior guard, Shaul led the Wildcats in scoring and helped the team to its section title — one of just four section championships in Kittanning's spotty basketball history. Things got even better when the Wildcats won their opening round playoff game against Jeannette for the program's first playoff win in 57 years.
"We were just trying to play as hard as we could," Shaul said. "I look back on it now, and it was a great experience for all of us. It was great for the school."
The Wildcats won another section title that spring in baseball and, of course, Shaul had a big hand in it. He had an unblemished 8-0 pitching record that season.
"I think I had the best shot of doing anything (beyond school) with baseball as a pitcher," said Shaul, who continued playing baseball until his junior year at Westminster College. "But it kind of ended shorter than I had hoped because I had injured my elbow."
Shaul graduated from Westminster with a degree in computer information systems. He now works as a software developer and lives in the Baltimore suburb of Woodbine, Md.
And while his athletic career is over, he's looking forward to reliving the memories of his days on the fields, courts and diamonds of his hometown.
"I would hope I was what people in Kittanning would want an athlete to be," Shaul said. "I played to win, and I played hard."

London, the metropolis on the River Thames, which is still one of the most popular cities in Europe, merges tradition, a fast pace and international flair more than any other destination. Like many other managers, financiers and business people, entrepreneur Lars Windhorst has made London his home. In an article in Manager Magazin in 2012 he presented the London that he, as the owner of a company, has come to know and love.* The British people's friendliness and stiff upper lip, the way they have mastered the art of queuing and preserve longstanding traditions like British teatime, not to mention the undisputed British sense of humour, all define the welcoming, vibrant atmosphere of London. In contrast to other capital cities like Berlin, it is apparent that London is a wealthy city – there is real money to be made here. London is a prime international financial centre; thousands of hedge funds are based in the British metropolis. In addition to economic dynamics, London also offers managers a wealth of lifestyle options. Private members' clubs keep their traditions alive, world-class restaurants are the perfect setting for business talks, parks and green spaces are a good place to relax and unwind. Going for a morning jog in Hyde Park is a luxury that managers like Lars Windhorst indulge in before a long working day. Collectors and connoisseurs of art, Lars Windhorst included, are in their element at the Tate, Tate Modern, Serpentine Gallery and at the art auctions at Christie's and Sotheby's.
Hip restaurants and Michelin-star chefs are ten to the dozen in London, but nevertheless, just like in the world of business, good contacts here are essential: if you don't happen to know the owner of the trendy "C", "La Petite Maison" or the gourmet temple of Michelin-star chef Alain Ducasse, you will be hard pushed to get a reservation for the same week.
After all, it's not only managers or financiers like Lars Windhorst, often featured in reports in the Financial Times or the Telegraph, who you will spot in restaurants like "C". Celebrities who often generate countless column inches in The Mirror or The Sun newspapers also dine here. And it's not unusual to see stars like Victoria and David Beckham being served their dinner on a silver platter at the table next to you.
For those who prefer less hustle and bustle, preferably without the presence of a crowd of tabloid reporters and paparazzi, a visit to the sister restaurant of "C" on Savile Row, close to the London office of Lars Windhorst's company Sapinda, is recommended.
The financial district, home to the stock exchange where the money of countless investors is traded, is always a hive of activity. Luxurious, upmarket townhouses are an integral part of the cityscape here. You can also keep up to date on the latest news on the streets around Mayfair, where the office of manager Lars Windhorst's company Sapinda is located. Mayfair is perfect for walking around so you can dispense with the famous London taxi or your driver when the congested traffic in the city is going nowhere fast. Lunch breaks are a time to bump into business colleagues and arrange a business lunch for the next day, while keeping abreast of business news in passing.
Although London has a conservative, slower side, in the business world the pace is fast. But the city has a lot more to offer beyond this, and any international manager is always delighted when they have a few hours left to discover London in transit between Heathrow and the next conference.
* Article in Manager Magazin "Olympia-Stadt für Manager: London will erobert werden" (Olympic city for managers: London is waiting to be discovered) by Lars Windhorst, published on 31 July 2012

THE push for a new national park in Canberra has gained momentum after a local environment group petitioned the ACT government to fund an investigation into the proposal.
The ACT National Parks Association used a budget submission to the ACT government to urge the development of the park which would rebrand many ACT nature reserves as protected areas.
The proposed park, stretching from Mulligan's Flat in the north to Wanniassa in the south, aims to protect endangered lowland grassy woodlands, particularly yellow-box red-gum ecosystems.
The reserves are a stronghold for many endangered species, including the golden sun moth, button wrinklewort, superb parrot and grassland earless dragon.
The idea was first pitched early last year and a report by the then ACT Commissioner for Sustainability and the Environment Maxine Cooper, published in July, lent support to an investigation.
The association president Rod Griffiths said rebranding urban reserves as national park would afford the imperiled ecosystems greater protection.
He said the proposed area was subject to planning pressures.
''Along the northern border of the ACT there is the potential to maintain a magnificent crescent of land that would link up existing reserves and support threatened grassy woodlands,'' he said.
''One of the key recommendations to come out of the investigation was about improving the condition and resilience of our nature reserves by improving connectivity between them.
''Without the maintenance of biodiversity corridors that join them, our reserves become vulnerable islands,'' Mr Griffiths said.
''The creation of a new national park … would be a major achievement for the ACT and would be recognised both nationally and internationally.''
If approved, the bushland would be the ACT's second national park.
Namadgi National Park covers 46 per cent of the ACT and is the most northern park in a 1.6 million hectare chain of protected areas that form the Australian Alps national parks across NSW, the ACT and Victoria.

This palace combines features from the Moorish, Gothic and Manueline styles, in keeping with the different constructions added to the original building. Of this building there still remains the Arab Room (lined with unusual and magnificent azulejos, although these represent only a small part of the collection of azulejos to be found throughout the building). Many of the rooms have been named after the paintings on their ceilings, such as the Swans Room, the Room of the Sirens, the Magpie Room or the Room of the Coats of Arms. The conical chimneys visible on the outside of the building are the most characteristic feature of the town of Sintra.
Cascais is a lively, cosmopolitan place which retains a certain aristocratic atmosphere. It is worth a walk along its streets, with their excellent quality shops, or spending some time relaxing on one of its numerous belvederes. A natural curiosity on the way out of Cascais is the Boca do Inferno (Hell's Mouth), a recess of the coast surrounded by craggy rocks and caves, providing a fantastic spectacle when the sea dashes against them on stormy days.

gamers to its Xbox game console and convince skeptical software designers here
to create games for the machine. Chairman Bill Gates told a packed hall at the
Tokyo Game Show that the Japanese version of Xbox would be tailored to local
tastes, with a smaller hand-held controller and U.S.-designed games adapted
by a team of Japanese game developers. ''In the Japanese market feedback is
naturally different from the United States,'' Gates said. Microsoft's belief
that Japan is essential to the Xbox's success was everywhere apparent at the
game show.
"Xbox" banners festooned the Kaihin Makuhari train station
outside of the exhibition hall. The Xbox booth was crammed with fans gazing
at displays of a snowboarding game as a DJ interviewed software designers.
Gates timed his speech to coincide with an announcement
that Japan's Sega would create 11 games for the Xbox, adding clout to the newcomer
and giving a boost to its flagging efforts to lure game makers here.
Despite the attempt to woo, gamers had a mixed reaction.
"It's clear they're putting a lot of effort into it," said
a company worker who only gave his surname Yamada. "But the graphics weren't
any different from what I see in the Japanese game consoles."
Sega's contribution to the Xbox, set for release this fall,
will include the latest versions of Panzer Dragoon and Sega GT,
the companies said in a joint statement released in Tokyo.
A team of Japanese software developers led by Takayuki
Miyake, a top game designer lured away from rival Sony, will be remaking U.S.-developed
games and creating its own software for worldwide release.
Microsoft expects to have 100 software designers on its
Japanese team. It hopes to have 12 to 18 titles ready for the Xbox's debut and
gave a sneak preview of some of its games.
Gates showed off a martial arts fight game with movie-quality
graphics and prototypes of snowboarding, football and combat games.
Microsoft has said it plans to spend $500 million marketing
the Xbox. On Thursday, Microsoft announced a deal with Japan's NTT Communications
that will give Xbox users an online gaming service over a Japanese broadband
Gates touted the Xbox's DVD player, 8-gigabyte hard drive
and broadband Internet access.
But industry experts were skeptical about the Xbox's chances
in Japan.
"I was underwhelmed," said independent software developer
Jake Kazdal. "There was nothing to show."
Kazdal said the console's bulk could be a turnoff for the
"It's too big for Japanese homes. That's a tea-table, not
a video machine."

Ratings for Dr. Patricia Cribbs
Amazing - everything everyone says here is so. She has virtually taken the place of my PCP and is there for you 100%. I also saw her at the store (Trader Joes) and she peeked in my cart to make sure I was eating healthy stuff! Gotta love her!
Patricia Cribbs is better than MANY doctors I've seen. She remembered me even though I had only seen her a couple time over a year before. She really makes you feel like you're not just another patient. She listens to all your concerns and never seems like she is rushing to get out of the room. She is very knowledgeable and investigates every concern you may have thoroughly. I actually saw her because my primary care doctor is always too busy to see me, but I'd rather see her anyway now!!
Patricia Cribbs is an awesome nurse practitioner. She knows her patients and listens to them and their concerns. I've been going to her for 7 years and I refuse to see anyone else. I now travel 30 minutes to go and see her. Nothing better but to know and trust your doctor. She is amazing!
I love Patrica! She takes the time to get to know her patients and shows that she actually cares! For example, I had strep and about 2 weeks later I saw Patrica is Target and she asked how I was doing and if the medicine had helped- I couldn't believe she remembered! Even though I have a great primary doctor, I perfer to see Patrica Cribbs.
Patricia Cribbs is a nurse practioner not a Doctor. I love her! She is the best,she really takes the time to get to know you and she cares.

Another home bites the dust in Madison Park. photo/Bryan Tagas
Those doubting the vibrancy of the housing scene in Madison Park would certainly change their perspective if they stood at the intersection of McGilvra Boulevard East and East Newton Street.
From that vantage point, they could glance in almost any direction (well, three out of four) and see an active construction project under way — or perhaps even two. Within 100 paces of this intersection, there are, in fact, five separate houses either being built from the ground up or in the process of major renovation.
The cycles of destruction and renewal in Madison Park continue unabated.
We once speculated, incorrectly, that speculative construction in the neighborhood might be coming to a halt due to the economic downturn. While things did slow for a while, it's been clear for many months that Madison Park continues to be an attractive place for residential developers.
At least three of the houses under construction near this intersection appear to be speculative, including two houses being built by Chaffey on what was apparently once the site of a single residence.
At the same time, there are at least two other projects within easy walking distance where speculative builders are also replacing a single residence with two new homes.
On a quick recent drive through Madison Park, we counted 19 homes in some stage of construction or massive rehabilitation. Most of this activity is a "north of Madison" phenomenon, with at least 14 sites active on the north end of the neighborhood, including two in Broadmoor (though, as we know, nothing of a speculative nature is allowed in this gated community).
Something old, something new
Not every project currently under way in the neighborhood, however, involves a complete teardown and replacement of an existing structure. In fact, of the six houses being constructed near East Newton and McGilvra Boulevard, one is a major rehab and another is only a partial teardown.
The new owner of one of these houses e-mailed to say that while his new house will have an additional story added to it, the bones and outline of the old house will remain, and the finished home will be a traditional house designed to blend into the neighborhood, rather than being one of those new, modernistic, boxy structures that are somewhat controversial.
Next door to this particular house, a derelict home that has been something of a neighborhood eyesore for years is about to be thoroughly reimagined. We are told that the new structure will also be in a "traditional" style when completed, though much larger than the existing brick home built in the 1940s. That's the way of neighborhood, of course.
The original house contains only 1,600 square feet; the new one will have at least double the space, with the existing first floor being demolished and two new stories, plus a detached garage, built on the 6,000-square-foot lot.
Two major homes are currently under construction (or soon to begin) along Lake Washington: one along 39th Avenue East, in the area just north of "Hidden Beach" (the East Harrison St. road end), and the other just south of the East Highland Street road end. Both of these will, necessarily — given the cost of the land — be major structures.
And speaking of which, that very noticeable construction project under way along McGilvra Boulevard — across the street and just north of the Seattle Tennis Club — is replacing a 1,300-square-foot structure with a four-level, 4,300-square-foot structure, not including the new home's 760–square-foot garage and an equally large deck.
This is the site of a foreclosed home, lost by a speculative builder when the money ran out. Out of loss sometimes comes opportunity: The new owners appear to be building a home for their own occupancy.
More changes coming
The relatively high level of construction activity in Madison Park can likely be sustained if macroeconomic conditions do not deteriorate. We know, for example, that there are several houses in the neighborhood that were purchased in the last few years for the purpose of future development. The timing may now be right.
Additionally, some recent home sales and at least one currently in the works are to speculative builders.
Although the neighborhood, especially north of Madison Street, has seen significant gentrification over the last decade, there are still plenty of smaller homes on expensive lots that will be ripe for construction or rehabilitation in the near future — either by speculative builders or by those who want to take on the job of property transformation to create their own dream home.
The modern history of Madison Park, like that of many other Seattle neighborhoods, has been one of ongoing — though sometimes sporadic — destruction and rebuilding. Whether we welcome this change or deplore it, it is definitely something we better get used to.

Salman is a fast mover: In a month on the throne, he is strengthening ties with Washington, reviving the nuclear pact with Pakistan and blocking Cairo against Russian arms with a French deal.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis January 16, 2015
In the last two days, 25 jihadi suspects were rounded up and secret cells broken down in Belgium, France and Germany. But these counter-terror operations lifted only corners of the Islamist terrorist network of active cells spread across Europe by dedicated killers, armed to the teeth and expertly trained in Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan in the skills of mass murder. debkafile: notes that operational cooperation among Europe's intelligence and security services is far too rare and a central continental anti-terror mechanism for shared strategy and intelligence sorely missing.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 12, 2015
Pakistani and Afghan Taliban high-ups vowed allegiance Sunday, Jan. 12 to the Islamic State's leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi – forging concord among key Islamist terror movement groups for defying the values that brought millions out for a mammoth rally of Western unity against terror that day. Taliban cemented the pact by beheading a Pakistani soldier held prisoner. Last week, Amedy Coulibaly, who murdered four Jews in a Paris market, also said he acted for ISIS. Abu Bakr has therefore extended his reach to South Asia after Europe and Arab lands.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis January 11, 2015
French intelligence failures over the Charlie Hebdo terror attack will not be gilded over. Contrary to a French police statement, Hayat Boumeddiene, wife of the terrorist Amedy Coulibaly who murdered four Jews in cold blood at the kosher supermarket.

DEBKAfile Special Report January 9, 2015
Four hostages held by Islamist gunmen at a Jewish grocery store in Paris were reported dead Friday, Jan. 9 by French police, shortly after a rescue operation that killed the gunman, Amedy Coulibaly, who earlier shot dead a policewoman. Other captives were set free. Minutes before, Said and Cherif Kouachi died in a shooting attack on the police siege force at a factory near Dammartin-en-Goelle, 40 km northeast of Paris.

DEBKAfile Special Report June 1, 2014
Incriminating evidence links Mehdi Nemmouche, 29, the jihadi arrested Friday, May 30, at Marseille bus station, to the murders of four people, including the Israeli couple Mira and Emmanuel Riva, at the Jewish Museum in Brussels on May 24. The guns in his luggage were of the same types as the murder weapons. He spent a year in Syria fighting for Islamist militias. His record of constant travel also suggests he served as hired bagman for smuggling weapons among terrorist groups and in other roles as terrorist accomplice.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis November 16, 2013
French President Francois Hollande and Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius arrive in Jerusalem Sunday, Nov. 17. Their talks with Israel's leaders will show if France stands by its independent stance against Washington's détente with Tehran and is willing to throw in its lot ad hoc with Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt. Their outcome will determine whether Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu goes to Moscow next Wednesday alone or with French and Saudi backing. The next round of nuclear negotiations in Geneva on Nov. 20 will also be influenced.
DEBKAfile Special Report November 11, 2013
Secretary of State John Kerry landed in Dubai Monday, Nov. 11, to try and break up the unique bond of European governments, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf Arab states and Israel which stalled the US-Iranian nuclear deal in Geneva. debkafile: Washington shows no sign of toning down its deal with Iran, although US undersecretary Wendy Sherman and EU's Catherine Ashton are blamed for damaging the process by opening the draft too freely for amendments by Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zerif, which even Kerry was not ready to sign.
DEBKAfile Special Report November 10, 2013
France amazed its fellow five powers and Iran by sticking to its guns to the last. They never imagined French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius would actually scupper the Geneva nuclear conference when it came closer than ever before to a joint accord. The intense pressure the US beamed at Jerusalem turns now to Paris. The conference reconvenes on Nov. 20. But meanwhile, President Barack Obama and Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, President Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Minister Javad Zarif have suffered a stinging setback after long secret negotiations.
Israel accuses US of deceit on nuclear deal with Iran. Geneva signing drags out as Iran ups its price
DEBKAfile Special Report November 9, 2013
The delay in signing the first interim nuclear accord with Iran in Geneva prompted the remark by French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius: "There is an initial draft that we do not accept… I have no certainty that we can finish up." However, debkafile confirms that the deal cut directly between Washington and Tehran ahead of the Geneva conference will be signed at latest Saturday, Nov. 9, or Sunday - in the face of French reservations, Israel's fury and Tehran's opportunist bid to extort more concessions at the last minute.
DEBKAfile Special Report September 2, 2013
Senior IDF circles are concerned by the unrealistic mood of the country on New Year's eve as though Israel and the US were fully coordinated on Syria and Hizballah and the danger of Syria repeating its chemical attack – this time on Israel – had receded. In fact, since US President Barack Obama aborted the US strike on Syria, Damascus and Hizballah have stepped up their threats to attack Israel in the coming weeks, prompting a warning from Netanyahu that "Anyone wishing to do us harm should know what awaits him."
DEBKAfile Special Report March 30, 2013
The West has initiated an arms embargo against the Syrian rebels fighting Bashar Assad since discovering that some of the weapons are being resold to al Qaeda for its conquest of southern Syrian and takeover of positions on the Jordanian and Israel borders and Yarmuk River. This policy reversal was disclosed by French President Francois Hollande Friday, March 29. debkafile: Alarm over the Nusra Front's territorial gains now tops concerns over chemical warfare in the deliberations of the joint US-Israeli, US-Jordanian and US-Turkish command centers.
DEBKAfile Special Report March 16, 2013
Britain and France have for the first time parted ways with the US on its policy against sending Western arms to Syrian rebels fighting Bashar Assad. As the EU summit in Brussels voted March 14 against their motion to lift the Syrian arms embargo, debkafile reveals that Jordan's top soldier arrived in Brussels to discuss shipping British arms through his country – and select the rebel recipients. France's Francois Hollande used this issue to even the score for Barack Obama's lack of military support for his Mali expedition.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 8, 2013
France's motives for its intervention in Mali are variously interpreted as a genuine wish to liberate northern Mali from Islamist terrorists and forming a base of attack against Europe, or as defense of French economic interests in Mali's rich natural resources.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis January 19, 2013
Barack Obama's disinclination to intervene in the Mali and Algerian gas field crises is a mark of his evolving isolationist policy for the United States. debkafile: Even though the US homeland may not be in immediate peril from the two episodes, Al Qaeda's interconnecting tentacles cannot be ignored: Seven years ago on July 7, jihadist suiciders blew up London trains and a bus with explosives provided by the very Al Qaeda cells of Sahel Desert which today occupy Mali and this week struck the Algerian gas field.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 18, 2013
Neither France nor the US has learned from the Afghanistan War that aerial warfare won't defeat al Qaeda – certainly not when they are highly-trained in special forces tactics and backed by mobile, well-armed local militias with advanced anti-aircraft weapons. Those militias are Touareg tribesmen, trained and armed by the US as a spearhead against al Qaeda in Africa, who instead defected to the enemy.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 18, 2013
The Algerian hostage disaster was the outcome of French anti-terror intervention in Mali which in turn developed from the messy ending of the Libyan war. By carrying out two counter terror operations – in Somali and Mali – on one day, France and the US brought together the most dangerous al Qaeda franchise for a common war front.
DEBKAfile Special Report January 12, 2013
French President Francois Hollande placed the country on high domestic terror alert Saturday, Jan. 12, in case of retaliatory attacks by al Qaeda for French operations against two of its African wings: a failed mission to rescue a French hostage from the Somali Shabaab, and air and commando aid for the Mali army's drive to stop advancing Islamists. The Islamists threatened to execute at least eight French hostages, one by one, unless French forces pulled out of Somalia and Mali at once.

New Poster For Bad Lieutenant
Cage and Mendes call New Orleans
Empire is about to make your weekend before it has even started, because there is a brand new poster online for movie mouthful Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans!
Cage is said Bad Lieutenant, a druggie detective in love with a prostitute (Mendes), who reigns over battered post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans.
We know it is hard to contain the excitement for Werner Herzog's coked-up cop drama, starring Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes, Val Kilmer, and Alvin 'X to the Z Xzibit' Joiner, but hold it in, because the film isn't out until November 20.
But to satisfy your need for a Port Of Call, check out the brand new poster from the movie below - or read our Damo's wise words from the first screening of the movie at the Venice Film Festival right this way.
