Econometric Analysis Of Efficiency In The Indian Manufacturing Sector
Performance in the manufacturing sector, in relation to productivity growth, scale efficiency and technical efficiency in India is dichotomous in nature, depending on whether the firm in question functions in the formal or informal sector. The main differences between these two sectors and the changes over a decade are observed and analyzed, using aggregated data for the entire manufacturing sector in India. Using stochastic frontier approach, and therein the maximum likelihood models, efficiency in the two sectors is compared and verified against factors affecting the levels of efficiency obtained for each major industry category. The results are analyzed against realities on ground-level from a socio-economic perspective.

April 30 - Debates for and against the introduction of a second
casino in the Cape Town metro area were ongoing this week, with the Western Cape
provincial government now having to decide which direction to take.
The public had until April 20th to comment on potential changes in
the province's laws that would allow one of five casinos to relocate to the city
Sun International's
GrandWest Casino, situated in Goodwood, Cape
Town has, until now, held an exclusivity license to operate a casino in the Cape
metropolitan area.
However, this license has expired and the government is now looking
to change the law that one of the other four casinos - in Langebaan, Caledon,
Mossel Bay and Worcester - will be allowed to relocate to the city center for a
10 year period.
While nobody has confirmed an exact site for the new Cape Town
casino - should changes in the law be approved - it is believed that it
would be located on or near the Waterfront, which continues to attract millions
of tourists and local visitors each year.
Opinions are divided regarding how a new casino would affect
Cape Town's economy, as well as other casino groups.
It is obvious that Sun International will suffer a drawback from
having its exclusivity in the area removed should another casino inch its way in
and offer an alternative to GrandWest.
Grand West Casino no doubt contributed heftily to the province's
coffers in 2010, paying out nearly R120 million in taxes.
An analyst with Prescient Securities, Cheree Dyers, said that
Sun International management had made comments regarding how a second casino in
Cape Town would affect its business.
"However, we don't yet know what the detail of a possible new
casino would be," said Dyers. "For instance, what type of target market they are
looking at, and so on."
Sun International made their comments to the Western Cape
provincial government when invited to do so, although it is not known what was
It is also thought, though, that a new casino may saturate the
market, and may not contribute to the local economy as much as many hope it
"During tough economic times, gambling revenue drops off," said
Dyers. "Whether or not a new casino in Cape Town may stimulate the economy as
much as the government hopes would have to be seen."

UPDATE: According to Jason Cole on Twitter, the knee of Dolphins RB Knowshon Moreno is "bad". He added, "Prob will play, but the issue is how long."
According to profootballtalk's Mike Florio, Dolphins RB Knowshon Moreno "may need knee surgery". The report also suggests that if Moreno needs arthroscopic surgery, "he'd likely be ready to go in time for training camp."
SMITTY: We previously reported that Moreno was sitting out practice, and Lamar Miller was getting the first-team reps — now we know why. Miller was one of my breakout candidates last year, but that Dolphins' coaching staff refused to let him loose. I stand by all my statements last year, that Lamar can become Frank Gore-good, but he needs to get starter-type carries, something that now might look possible. While most will avoid this situation entirely in 2014, disappointment is actually built into his ADP (9th-round) right now — He is well worth the risk given that ADP. Check out our 2014 projections for both backs:

None. While Russia supports separatists and self-determination in other countries it's not so keen about it on their own turf. (RF actually passed a law for stricter criminal responsibility for separatism this spring. Also the Crimean Tatars that participated in recent protests were dubbed "extremists" and there is an ongoing prosecution against them.) While the economic situation in the Crimea would hardly live to the expectations of pro-russian crimeans still a partial dissolution of RF would be required to get the Crimea back. (Which may be not completely out of the question considering RF's share of internal conflicts, dwindling freedoms and not-so-bright economy. However even more liberal Russian politicians usually consider the Crimea a Russian territory.)

I have the problem where I can not disable the firewall. Port 80 traffic will not pass through. No apache....Are there any issues with using DHCP and the firewall? Do I have to allow traffic of a certain kind in? Do I have to make this change using system-config-security?
I've got the firewall enabled, but when I try and raise the appropriate interface, I get a timeout. I'm just wondering if the DHCP reply is being filtered.
On a side: Is there a log that'll let me know that the packets were being dropped?
Where are the docs on how the firewall is configured?

Not just money
With all due respect to Eli Evankovich's position as a state representative (R-54) and to his degree and background in business, I must challenge the basic premise of his column "Rethinking student loans" (Aug. 27 and TribLIVE.com) that access to student loans should be governed by expected earnings.
For example, he comments: "If students were able to borrow based only on the value of their degree, wouldn't it cause students to think more closely about their course of study and what it will mean to them after college?" He comments further: "If a history major will, on average, earn less than an engineering or accounting major, I think that it makes perfect sense to give him the protection against 'over-borrowing' for his education."
The "value" to which Evankovich refers is "money." As we know, many students contemplating careers after high school unfortunately do, in fact, base their choices on what they perceive will be the expected "value" of their decisions. I'd suggest, however, that access to post-high-school education should not be rationed based on one's potential ability to accumulate wealth.
Although we clearly need folks trained and skilled in the so-called "hard sciences" (physics, chemistry, engineering, etc.), our existence as a society would soon become dull and greatly diminished if we have fewer graduates from the humanities and social sciences; students in these disciplines deserve equal access to student loans.

As the Chinese government steps up 'Broadband China', its program to provide high-speed broadband connections to more than 250 million households in urban and rural locations by 2015, Alcatel-Lucent announced that it has signed an agreement with China Telecom to deploy its IP/MPLS 7750 Service Router [2](SR) portfolio.
According to the agreement with Alcatel-Lucent [3](Paris), China Telecom (Beijing, P.R.C.) will enable the delivery of high-bandwidth video and data broadband services and deploy 100 gigabit per second Ethernet [4](100 GE) technology for future network upgrade. By leveraging Alcatel-Lucent's IP/MPLS, networking, and backhaul services, this project will allow China Telecom to meet the growing broadband needs of consumers and businesses, says Alcatel-Lucent.
This project will leverage the IP/MPLS 7750 SR portfolio, including the 7750 SR-12 and 7750 SR-7, as the Broadband [5]Network Gateway to deliver high-performance service and subscriber management capabilities. In conjunction with the 7750 SR, the Alcatel-Lucent 7705 Service Aggregation Routers (including the 7705 SAR-M, 7705 SAR-8, and 7705 SAR-18) will deliver a IP/MPLS mobile backhaul, leveraging common SR-OS software, to address China Telecom's 2G, 3G, and future LTE mobile broadband needs, says the company.
By the end of 2012, the 'Broadband [5]China' project will see 35 million new homes connected via fiber-to-the-home, 50% of broadband customers experiencing speeds of 4 Mbps and above, and 20 million new households with access to fixed broadband. By 2015 the goal is to connect 800 million web users, including 200 million living in rural locations.
This extra connectivity across the country together with the rise in the use of smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices is driving demand for video chat and other Internet services at a growth rate of 40% year-on-year. China Telecom's deployment of fiber-to-the-home [6], aimed at delivering services such as video-on-demand and Internet Protocol television (IPTV) to millions of homes across China, is set to place even greater demand for capacity on the service provider's network.
"The application of our innovative IP/MPLS technology will be integral to the expansion of China Telecom's network, bringing broadband [5]access to millions of people in China," says Ben Verwaayen, CEO of Acaltel-Lucent.

Girl Talk: Everyone Saw Me Cry
"The important thing is that nobody saw you cry," my mom kindly consoled me over the phone, after I told her how I had behaved like a drunk toddler at my friend's wedding the night before.
"But mom, that's just it, everyone saw me cry," I tried to explain to her quietly, not wanting the couple having brunch next to me to hear.
"What?" my mom hollered back, slowly enunciating in the way older people distrusting technology tend to do at the slightest sign of interference.
"Everyone saw me cry," I said a little louder this time.
"Where are you? I can't hear you. I think we're breaking up," I clearly heard her say without the slightest hint of static or pending drop call.
"EVERYONE SAW ME CRY," I shouted back, causing the chattering brunchers to stop and look at me, hints of tipsy pity filtering out from behind their sunglasses.
What could I do? It was true. The night before, everyone had seen me cry at my friend Susan's wedding. The DJ she found at her hip salon's anniversary party. The wedding photographer who insisted on taking "do-over" photos of all the guests. The waitress who kept refilling my champagne glass. My friend who had taken me out of the co-ed bathroom into a hallway so my sobbing might go unnoticed. Oh, and the minister who just happened to be my ex, the guy that for five years of my life I had thought I was going to marry and had struggled so hard to get over. They all saw me cry.
Like most folks do when they know they are in over their head, I had mentally prepared for the wedding for weeks. I knew my ex was getting internet-ordained so that he could wed the couple, so I knew for certain that he'd be there, not only as a guest, but as the person charged with honoring other people's love. Preparation had meant a sort of mental workout in which I spent my free time predicting all the possible outcomes of seeing him. Maybe I'd faint into the peanut butter chocolate cake just from the total shock of how bad he looked now? Or, perhaps, I could build a fort with the autumn-themed centerpiece and hide from the party like I once did at my 7-year-old birthday?
Unfortunately for the rest of the people in my life, I didn't only do mental exercises to prepare. I also redirected all conversations to the conundrum of seeing my ex as a priest at a wedding. When I bumped into the most stylish girl from my high school, I ended up in a dressing room with her picking out the perfect "I'm sexy but no longer interested in you" dress. When I told my dad at a steak joint, he offered this advice: "Sometimes you never get over heartbreak" and asked me if I thought the air-conditioning was on too high before squeezing a lime into his Diet Coke. My therapist told me he could be reached by text message when need be, and my mom offered me anti-anxiety pills. "The label says to take one, but I find you can really take three," she advised.
I should have known that these weeks of preparation meant that it would end as a disaster and kindly dismissed myself from attending the wedding with some polite lie like my OCD uncle was coming into town and if I didn't bleach all the seats in my house he'd refuse to sit, only to collapse after his bad knee gave out. But I had already attended two bachelorette parties, helped the bride select her dress, and, plus, I was really looking forward to the possibility of seeing ladies in beautiful dresses sliding around in their socks on the dance floor once they removed their shoes. A rare sight that only weddings routinely fulfill.

And so, I went to the wedding, foolishly leaving the anxiety pills in my underwear drawer next to my collection of lint rollers and travel toothbrushes. Once at the wedding, I could already sense my mistake in the way the sloppily shaven hairs on my legs prickled hidden under my maroon tights. As soon as I could feel the tasteful white folding chair underneath me, I started eyeing where I imagined the bar would be set up after the ceremony. No, I thought, they wouldn't put it by the DJ because the foot traffic would inevitably preclude slow-dancing under the covertly hidden mood lights, and it couldn't be behind the curtain where they were hiding the dinner tables because that would mean the clinking of bottles would interrupt the dining guests asking each other if they knew the bride or the groom.
There! I realized. It has to be there in the southeast corner, over by the window. I started to mentally calculate the number of dance floor tiles between me and my first drink.
Soon, everyone hushed and took their seats, except for the groom and my ex who stood in the front of the room, wiping their hands down their suit jackets. Music was played and various relatives joyfully strode down the aisle. The bride looked resplendent. The groom looked 12, but then again close shave most men and put them into formal wear and they're bound to look as if their mom dressed them.
As the priest, it was my ex's duty to exalt the joys of love. When he started talking about the couple's secret to lasting love ("One word: Everything. They share everything," he said) and his own desire for such a symbiotic relationship, I tried not to think of him basking in front of a fireplace of eternal happiness with his own painfully thin girlfriend. Instead I employed a trick my mom had recently described to me: "When you start to get nervous, imagine that he is really, really small. Like Stewart Little small. And in your mind, pick him up and place him on a lily pad on a river and send him down the river." When I asked her what that would do for me, she admitted she wasn't exactly sure, but at the very least it always made her laugh to do it.
During the ceremony I actually only cried once. And it was a totally socially appropriate cry — when the groom's mother and father sang their heartfelt blessing to the couple. And by the time the black-clad waiters served me my choice of meat or fish, I was one glass of wine in and thinking, I'm going to make it. I'm going to make it to the end of this gracefully. And so when another waiter suggested he top off my glass, I didn't wave him away, but gulped it down without a worry.

There are moments that you look back at and can see your foolishness, as if in slow motion, that you play out for years to follow. You want to say to your past self, You're not really okay! It's just the fancy silk dress and layer of makeup that has you confused! For god's sake memory-me, pour that glass of wine into my soup and let me continue to make polite conversation about your dinner mate's cat's new haircut. But instead of changing the past, you just watch the memory and wait for the grand teary finale.
When the speeches and dinner were done, the dance floor lights dimmed and the couples shyly followed the bride and groom's lead of tentatively slow dancing. I opted to perch against the wall in a manner that I prayed suggested both excitement at the evident romance in the air and acceptance of my own position as one of approximately three dateless attendees. Acceptance required also allowing the roaming waiter to top off my glass of champagne every time he went to the bar to re-up his tray. My ex, also dateless, joined me at my encampment and we began to catch up in the mundane safe way that people who know each other too well have to do in order to avoid the slightest hint of intimacy intermingled with suggestions that life was in fact far better now that we are no longer a couple: "I bought an expensive futon for the new place that is both comfortable to sleep on and sit on, you know the kind I always wanted."
The tempo of the music picked up, and I had the urge to dance in a harmless, non-touching way and smiling stupidly asked him to join me. "I'd love to," he said putting the palm of his hand on my back in just the same way he used to when I started to get faint at the sight of blood or overwhelmed by the size of the crowd. "But I can't because I'm afraid I'd like it too much."
I find that the thing about crying is you never know exactly what triggered it. You look for the tipping points later, but the truth is you didn't know it was coming, because if you did, you certainly wouldn't have chosen to stand on the brightly lit dance floor waiting for the tears flow. No, you would have hidden like a good puritan girl if you had any idea that you'd end up in the doorless co-ed bathroom repeatedly pressing the hand dryer to hide the heaving breaths coming out of your chest.

First I start to make the heavy breathing of a horse gearing up to charge in battle, then I start to whimper in a voice that sounds like I've been huffing helium, and then lastly, I tend to get real low to the ground as if balling up will make the horrid noises coming from my body any less obvious.
I find that crying is tantamount to going into a hypnotic state on a daytime TV show where they make you cluck like a chicken and reveal all the grit of your past to an audience of sweaty women. You know something is happening that you have no control over, sympathetic women are likely to come up to you and say supportive refrains that they have taped to the fridge at home, and your memories of the moment are primarily based on what on-lookers swore to you happened. Because of this, you only know a few things for sure. For me, this amounts to: I cried and everyone saw.
For the most part, by your mid-20s, polite society has taught you that tears are best had (quietly enough so that prying neighbors don't call 3-1-1 to report a noise disturbance) in the privacy of your own tiny apartment. Everyone in their 20s is striving so hard to "make it" and figure out "who they are" that they have little time for your dramatic embodiment of soul-searching. Because of this, though, we hear about mental breakdowns after the participant has already started her master cleanse and found what she was searching for in a pair of unflattering yoga pants, we never actually see them or at least we don't like to.
My ex cried too, actually, but in keeping with his time-honored tradition of always doing everything better than me, the only ones that saw him do so were me and a security guy who told us that the wedding was officially over and we had to leave. My ex went with the rest of the party to a bar across the street, and so I followed, demanding that we "talk" about us, a demand that he agreed to once the majority of our friends had left. But once we got out of the bar, had walked a bit down the block, and we were already starting to argue, he took off running through the clogged streets of Manhattan. I tried to chase him, crying harder as I ran, but he kept ducking behind cars and making odd turns so I couldn't catch up. It didn't help that I had worn heels for the first time in months, borrowed from a friend because they matched my dress and were too small, meaning my toes were slightly overlapping.

I was alone, drunk, and so I wobbled and sniffled my way to the train. But while waiting for the train, something unexpected happened—a handsome guy asked me why I was crying. Through a thick veil of incoherence, I struggled to tell him, to which he kindly said something to the effect of "Oh, don't worry. When you get older it will get better. You'll see. All of a sudden, you just stop behaving like that." I glowed at his wisdom, and, wanting more details on when this shimmering adult moment would come, asked him old he was. Turns out he was two years younger than me. Shit. Not as unhinged by this discovery as I was, he took out his cellphone and asked me for my number. "I've got a younger brother that is going through a real older woman stage and I think you two would be great together."
My mother called me back later the next day, "Bravo," she said, and I thought I could hear a hint of clapping in the background. This wouldn't be unheard of — my mother tends to adopt the language of Oprah when things get tough. "I just wanted to call and tell you Bravo!" More clapping mixed in with the sounds of her getting on the train to go downtown. "In our family, we are not good at showing our emotions, and I just think it's great that you overcame this and it doesn't matter whether you sink or swim, sometimes you just have to know when to show your cards." I knew by her final mixed metaphor that not only was she being totally sincere, but that she was maybe even sorta right.
This event happened awhile back, but Maude decided to recount it for your entertainment, dissection, and maybe even education. Anyways. Maude is currently totally over her ex and enjoying her rad boyfriend.

Reader: Oshima Ramen was sorta Soup Nazi meets Mr. Miyagi
Reaction to the news that Noboru Muraishi has closed Oshima Ramen, the very authentic Japanese noodle bar that Jason Sheehan raved about in "Finding My Religion," has been swift, with diners wondering where they will get their ramen now -- and hold the dirt. See also: After fourteen years, Noboru Muraishi closes Oshima Ramen
Says Travis:
Some of the dirtiest places I've ever eaten have also had the best food. While I only ate here once, I loved how it made me feel like I was in a scene from Blade Runner or Snow Crash.
Says Drew:
The guy was awesome. Yes he was abrupt but he was also super cool and nice if it wasn't busy. Sorta Soup Nazi meets Mr. Miyagi.
And from Jason Sheehan himself:
This is truly a sad day. I will miss this place for the rest of my life, but always remember it with the kind of wild-eyed, slightly disbelieving fondness that I experienced the first time I walked through the doors.
Bon chance, Mr. Muraishi. You've earned your vacation, and may the Ramen God rain his noodle-y blessings down on your every endeavor in the future.
With Oshima Ramen closed, where will you go for ramen? Post your suggestions below, and read many more comments here.

A befriending scheme for parents in Argyll and Bute is appealing for volunteers on Bute to help support families in need and to help govern the project itself.
Home-Start is looking for people with parenting experience to become home visiting volunteers on the island - no formal qualifications are required, just empathy, a non-judgmental attitude and understand that parenting can be hard for many families.
All home visiting volunteers receive training and ongoing support before they are placed with a family.
Alternatively, if you're interested in joining Home-Start's board of trustees you can attend a meeting as a visitor and see if it's for you. The commitment is one day, bi-monthly, expenses are paid and lunch and refreshments are provided.
Volunteer preparation training lasts four days, usually at the weekends, from 9am-5pm in a local venue. All out-of-pocket expenses are paid, and enhanced PVGs are applied for and paid on your behalf.
For more information on Home-Start call Dee Hancock on 07887 511022 or see www.home-startmajik.org.

Jack Straw praised the decision as "a progressive move". Earlier this year, MI6 followed its sister agency, MI5, in setting up a website. MI5 has already commissioned an official history.
MI6 is more nervous about revealing its secrets, though many unofficial accounts of its activities, including helping to topple inconvenient foreign rulers, have been published. There are no MI6 records available at the National Archives in Kew.
John Scarlett, the head of the organisation, has appointed Keith Jeffery, a professor of British history at Queen's University, Belfast, to the task.
Professor Jeffery said his job would be to produce "as frank and open and authoritative as possible an account" of MI6's operations over its first 40 years. "My narrative and my judgments will be my own. I would hope to be not so much economical with the truth, as it were, as generous with it," he said. But MI6 has made it clear he will have to protect the identities of MI6 agents and staff.

Intended for Evil
Full Product Description
This is the question Radha Manickam asks himself during the three years and nine months he spends under the merciless rule of the Khmer Rouge. When Khmer Rouge forces take the city of Phnom Penh in 1975, Radha is a new Christian, passionate about living out his faith. Over the next years of his life, 1.7 million of his fellow Cambodians--including most of his own family--will perish due to starvation, disease, and unthinkable violence.
As he strives to hold tight to his faith, he finds that in the midst of hell on earth God has not forgotten him. Forced by the communist regime to marry a woman he doesn't know, Radha discovers that God has a plan for his life that he never would have imagined.
This compelling true story of survival against incredible odds shows that out of war, fear, despair, and betrayal, God can bring hope, faith, courage, and restoration.

Model-Actress Laetitia Casta Says Using Photoshop in Magazines Is 'Bulls***' (INTERVIEW)
"When I started, Photoshop did not exist," Casta, 34, revealed to Celebuzz while promoting her new movie, The War of the Buttons. It was more about having a personality and trying to make people dream."
Casta, who has been on over 100 magazine covers, says she's vigilant when it comes to teaching her three children about the reality of the business, especially her two daughters.
"I explain to them that the pictures are not the reality," she said.
This month, Casta stars in The War of the Buttons, a film about two rival gangs who stage a fake war amid the real-life horros of Nazi-occupied France.
The former Guess model says she has heard all about the War and France's treatment of Jews because she is friends with an 85 year old man who has told her about his wartime experiences.
"He is an interesting man! He's so smart! I love him and he told me stories so when the project came to me I thought I had to do it."
Casta admits that when she first wanted to become an actress, she encountered a lot of skepticism — but it only made her try harder.
"I could feel people judging me but you always have to fight in life. People were demanding but I was demanding too. So it was fine."
The War of the Buttons is now playing in limited release.

Story: The women who work in the cigarette factory in Seville, Spain like to banter with the aimless men who hang around outside their business. In particular, the lusty gypsy Carmen flirts with the guys by casually mentioning she's in the market for a new lover. She turns her eye on a junior officer named Don Jose, who has come to Seville from the country and left behind his mother and a sweetheart named Micaela. Don Jose's superior, Zuniga, orders him to arrest Carmen after she allegedly pulls a knife on another worker, but she instead seduces Don Jose into letting her escape. He subsequently is imprisoned for dereliction of duty.
When Don Jose returns from jail, he hooks up with Carmen at a club called Lillas Pastia's Inn, where Carmen and her friends Mercedes and Pasquita perform. Carmen mocks Don Jose, who then assaults Zuniga when the latter arrives and pursues Carmen. She also becomes the object of affection of bullfighting hero Escamillo. As Don Jose sinks deeper into his obsessive love for Carmen, he threatens to kill anyone who gets in his way as well as vowing to murder Carmen if she continues to rebuke him.
Highlights: Georges Bizet's famous 19th century opera, which he based on an 1845 novel of the same name by Prosper Merimee, is given vibrant new life in a clever film noir style conceived by director Stephen Barlow. Updating the setting to 1940s Seville works seamlessly in establishing Carmen as the type of femme fatale depicted in the novels of Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett and James M. Cain that translated beautifully to the silver screen.
In fact, Barlow's fanciful treatment includes a clever delivery of the production's titles on a screen imposed on the stage while the overture is being performed by musicians in the superior Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra -- in black and white, naturally. Combined with the impressive abilities of St. Louis native daughter Kendall Gladen in the title role and no fewer than nine of the principal 11 roles taken by Gerdine Young Artists or former Gerdine Young Artists, Opera Theatre of Saint Louis' third rendition of Carmen (others were produced in 1987 and 2004) is a stirring and resounding presentation.
Other Info: The film noir look is handsomely rendered by Paul Edwards' scenic design, which incorporates a '40s-style billboard seen through the smoke-filled surroundings of the factory in one scene and the sinfully colorful allure of Lillas Pastia's Inn in another. Christopher Akerlind's lighting subtly underscores the look, whether with a single shard of light that accentuates the eyes of a billboard model or the darker look espoused in the nightclub. Edwards' costumes blend the traditional attire of gypsies with the hats and suits of film noir gangsters as well as the flamboyant garb of the toreador, complemented with the wigs and makeup design of Ashley Ryan.
Carmen features the first OTSL starring role for Kendall Gladen, who joined the company's Monsanto Artist-in-Training program at age 16 and made her OTSL debut in 2001's The Grand Duchess of Gerostein. Despite OTSL general director Timothy O'Leary's opening night admonition that Gladen was performing with a sinus infection, the mezzo-soprano's clear and superbly modulated voice belied any serious illness. Additionally, her acting clearly conveyed the title character's cynicism and reckless pursuit of freedom and the love that she felt embodied it.
Soprano Corinne Winters was a hugely popular audience favorite in the role of the chaste and selfless Micaela, shining on an Act III aria that was a convincing demonstration of her voice's powerful and persuasive crystalline clarity. Adam Diegel, a South Korean tenor who is one of just two of the primary players without a link to OTSL, showed his own considerable vocal flair as the slow-thinking and fatally impassioned Don Jose, while baritone Hernan Berisso made his OTSL debut a successful one as Don Jose's colleague Morales.
Bradley Smoak's resonant bass makes a convincing Zuniga as does baritone Alexsey Bogdanov as the cheerful and playful toreador Escamillo. Providing their own able assistance are Shirin Eskandani and Jennifer Caraluzzi as Carmen's gal pals Mercedes and Frasquita, respectively, Nikolas Wenzel as proprietor Lillas Pastia, and Thomas Gunther and Michael Kuhn as small-time smugglers Dancairo and Remendado, respectively.
Barlow's precise, engaging direction masks the production's three-hours-plus running time, helped by two intermissions as well as some lively choreography staged by Kristina Martinez and convincing fight choreography between Don Jose, Zuniga and Escamillo courtesy of Shaun Sheley.
Conductor Carlos Izcaray's inspired guidance of the orchestra offers a spirited interpretation of Bizet's rich, lush, diverse and evocative score. Add Amanda Holden's English translation of the text by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halevy with some additional dialogue by Barlow interspersed, and this Carmen is a certain crowd-pleaser for opera aficionados new and accustomed alike.

Opposition Leader
Asked what the impact of his proposed tax would be on the cost of a loaf of bread, Mr Abbott said: "It is a relatively modest levy and I think it is something that ought to be bearable by those large companies in the national interest."
The opposition's plans to fund a $2.7 billion parental leave policy offering pay up to $75,000 for six months with a levy on 3200 companies has prompted an angry reaction from business.
But Mr Abbott called on the government to match his policy with a more generous scheme. Labor's policy offers 18 weeks' paid leave at the minimum wage.
"If the government is fair dinkum about the best possible deal for families, it should look at our policy, because I think there is going to be a tidal wave of support out there in the community, where it counts," he said.
Industry groups yesterday rejected his advice for companies on absorbing the impost.
"The impact of a new tax or levy imposed upon business cannot be quarantined and these changes end up having an impact on overall prices and employment," the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry's Greg Evans said. "The coalition needs to consider a more modest and affordable paid parental leave scheme which does not impose costs on individual businesses."
Australian National Retailers Association chief executive Margy Osmond said the plan was "clearly not carefully considered public policy developed in consultation with the business community" and could not be supported.
Consumer Affairs Minister Craig Emerson said Mr Abbott's response was not a good sign for consumers.
"Tony Abbott needs to explain how his great big new tax will affect the price of everyday supermarket items, as well as basics like petrol, clothing and household items,'' he said.
Finance Minister Lindsay Tanner said the government would not be adopting a more generous parental leave scheme in order to maintain commitments to claw back the budget deficit and keep down the overall level of tax. He said Mr Abbott's plan was "to whack a giant new tax on to Australia's major employers".
In an unusual twist, Liberal frontbencher Christopher Pyne accused Labor frontbencher Chris Bowen of standing up for business – "the big end of town" – after Mr Bowen criticised the levy on business.
"I don't support a tax which will attack the competitiveness of Australian business,'' Mr Bowen said. It was poor policy without details, costings or a time line.

Which specific excerises are absolute NO GOs afters having a BA? I see women at the gym who clearly have BAs and they tend to workout normaly,however how long is the safest amount of time to go back?
Working Out After BA?
Hi There,
Here's a link to some questions that may help you with your research:
Advice for Exercise After Breast Augmentation?
What Activities Are Restricted After Breast Reduction Surgery?
RealSelf Team.
Doctor Answers 11
Exercise after breast augmetnation
After three days, you can start normal non-strenuous activities. No exercise, but you can leisurely walk around. After three weeks, you can start lower body training and light cardio workouts. Avoid impact-based exercises for at least four weeks.
At six weeks you can start upper body strength training, but make sure to start off slowly. Don't be jerky in your movement at first.====
However, please listen to your surgeon as they may have different guidelines.

Four weeks after breast augmentation full athletic activity is permitted.
In my practice, provided there are no postoperative problems, patients are allowed to return to full athletic activity. Naturally they should wear a good support for all at this time.

Exercise after breast augmentation
If the breast implants are placed under the muscle, I typically advise my patients to refrain from exercise that overdevelops the pectoralis muscles. These mostly consist of pressing exercises like bench press, push-ups, and the like. While they don't necessarily have to eliminate them from the regimen, I believe that the stronger the pectoralis muscle becomes, the more it tends to repeatedly push the implant downward and outward, and this can have a tendency to stretch the capsule in that direction too, allowing the implants to displace that way. If the implants are above the muscle, there is really no limitation on the type of exercise that I suggest. Always check with your surgeon first before beginning exercise. Good luck.

Exercise after augmentation
First, you need to check with your surgeon. That's who you should listen to. In general I allow my patients to start non-impact aerobic exercise at 3 weeks and impact aerobics at six weeks. I do not allow them to lift arm weights until between 6 weeks and 3 months.

Exercise After Breast Augmentation
In general, most patients return to the gym in 2 to 3 weeks after surgery. Follow up with your Plastic Surgeon regarding your progress in regards to exercise. Best wishes!
Exercise after Breast Augmentation?
It is commendable that you wish to return to exercise as soon as possible after surgery. Your plastic surgeon alone should be your resource when it comes to determining the return to specific activities after the specific procedures performed.
He/she will know exactly how you are progressing and whether or not you have experienced any complications. Remember, that he/she is ultimately responsible for your care. Online consultants' advise here may be confusing (and even dangerous).
In my opinion, specific exercises that target the pectoralis major muscle ( such as push-ups and bench press) should be avoided for approximately one year after the procedure is performed; this recommendation may not be what is provided to you by your plastic surgeon.
Best wishes.

Working out after breast augmentation
In general I recommend that my patients return to work 48 hours after breast augmentation, return to the gym for cardio at 3 weeks and for weights, yoga, core strengthening at 6 weeks.
Excercise after breast augmentation
I would talk to your plastic surgeon about the exact regimen that he would like his patients to follow. I say this because only you and your surgeon know what was done such as was a lift involved, your particular medical issues, and so on. For a breast augmentation alone I tell my patients no aerobic exercise (such as jogging, or riding a bicycle) for a period of 2 weeks and no lifting greater than 5 pounds for a period of 6 weeks. Lifting greater than 5 pounds can make it more likely for the implants to ride up higher and lead to malposition. If everything has gone well after the 6 week follow-up I clear my patients to resume their normal activities including any work outs.
3 WEEKS byVillar
At three weeks you should be able to have unrestricted activity, assuming you have not had any post operative complications. If your implants are under the muscle, avoid being too aggressive with pectoralis exercises.

Jason Aldean, Taylor Swift & More Set for ACM PRESENTS: TIM McGRAW'S SUPERSTAR SUMMER NIGHT
Country music superstars Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Taylor Swift and chart-topping R&B artist Ne-Yo are the first performers to be added to the all-star lineup scheduled to perform at the ACM PRESENTS: TIM McGRAW'S SUPERSTAR SUMMER NIGHT, taping Monday, April 8 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The special will be broadcast at a later date on the CBS Television Network.
ACM PRESENTS: TIM McGRAW's SUPERSTAR SUMMER NIGHT will feature star-studded performances and musical collaborations during a two-hour concert event to benefit ACM Lifting Lives. Fifteen-time ACM Award winner Tim McGraw is spotlighting the hottest music of summer and calling on his friends to help kick off the 2013 touring season.
"There's no better time for live music than in the heat of the summer," said McGraw. "Country music is hotter than it's ever been, and with some help from a few friends in other formats, too, we're going to get summer started off right. I've been lucky enough to have all these artists tour with me, and it'll be fun to get everyone back together to help raise money and bring some attention to Lifting Lives. Not enough people know what good work the organization does, and when I was asked to help put this show together, it was a no-brainer."
Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit ACM Lifting Lives, the charitable arm of the Academy, and an organization that McGraw was closely affiliated with over his last tour. For more information, log onto www.ACMLiftingLives.org, www.ACMcountry.com or follow on Twitter at @ACMawards.
For 20 years, Tim McGraw has been providing a powerful connection with his audience. With Two Lanes of Freedom, his new album and first release for Big Machine Records, the singer is covering his broadest emotional range yet, with a set of songs that looks forward and back, gets deep and gets loose, and reveals that even the biggest stars can continue to grow with consistency and maturity.

How Do We Fix Baltimore?
Leave it to Kate Bladow to ask this question, one I've wrestled with for quite some time. I wish I had an answer. The first step is acknowledging Baltimore isn't broken for everyone, as Dan Rodricks alludes in his column about Baltimore's competing realities. Violent crime, drug addiction and poverty plague thousands. But thousands also enjoy the city's waterfront, vibrant and growing arts scene and evolving business climate. We should then ask ourselves: Whom are we fixing Baltimore for?
If, for example, we invested the estimated $2.8bn required to renovate our public schools, whom are we fixing the schools for? The public school student body is roughly ninety percent African American and low income. In fixing our public schools, we're working to alleviate problems experienced primarily by poor, black children.
Of course, the problems of poor, black children are generally not seen as problems for everyone. The social problems that make Baltimore an "urban hellhole" deserving of "Third World" status are easy to ignore or overlook if you live in Roland Park or Guilford. I realize this is a gross oversimplification, but how do you begin to fix a problem when so many are unaware of its severity or even its existence? And how do you convince people these are problems when they don't believe they concern them?
Baltimore's myriad problems are complex and deep-seated. Fixing them requires citizen activism, an open discourse on race and greater political imagination. And more. But I think we need to first move people to understand what the problems are, whom the problems affect and how the problems hurt the city overall.
Any suggestions?
Austin permalink
Weird – somehow I personally know you (Rodney) and Kate, but from entirely different circles. I think we need to harness the magical quality of "Smalltimore" that I'm sure we've all experienced, combine it with all of the social networking devices that exist today, and use that to propel massive volunteer efforts. I bet most people get allotted some volunteer hours they can get paid for through their jobs, that go completely unused in most workplaces.

Nov. 25: The Gorkha Janmukti Morcha and tribal leader John Barla today said they were set to tie up with the Trinamul Congress to contest the panchayat polls in the Dooars and Terai, and a final nod from the ruling party in the state would seal the deal.
The possible alliance is touted to be a boon for Trinamul which lacks base among adivasis and tea garden workers.
Leaders of the Gorkha outfit and the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, to which Barla belongs, held a workers conference on the Lakkhipara Tea Estate in Banarhat today under the banner of the Dooars Terai Joint Action Co-ordination Committee. The president of the committee, Barla, said he had already held talks with Trinamul leader and state minister Gautam Deb on the formation of the alliance and was awaiting a response from Mamata Banerjees party.
The prospects of an alliance were discussed at a close-door meeting I had with Deb at Mongpong 10 days back. At the meeting, it was decided that the minister would call us again after talking to his leaders. We feel it is just a matter of time before Trinamul leaders communicate their decision formally to us, said Barla.
At todays meeting at Lakkhipara, 75km from Siliguri, the leaders of the Morcha and the JMM briefed the workers on the parley with Trinamul.
Raju Bara, the general secretary of the north Bengal regional committee of the JMM, said the meeting showed that his party still wielded clout in the plains. It has been proved that a campaign by a section of people (Akhil Bharatiya Adivasi Vikas Parishad) against us is wrong. They were saying we had lost our support base following the exclusion of the Dooars and Terai from the jurisdiction of the GTA. The turnout at todays meeting shows our influence, said Bara.
He said the goal of the alliance was to free panchayats from corruption.
We intend to contest together with Trinamul and Morcha and bag as many seats as possible to help the deprived populace of the Dooars and Terai by extending the benefits of welfare schemes provided through panchayats. The panchayats have become centres of corruption and malpractice and we want to put an end to it, said the tribal leader.
According to Bara, alliance would prevent multiplicity of candidates in the polls. If the JMM, Morcha and Trinamul can field common candidates, there will be less number of people in the fray. As far as the agendas and programmes of the three parties are concerned, they want the development of the region.
Bara said the JMM and the Morcha were planning to bring in Jharkhand chief minister Shibu Soren and GTA chief executive Bimal Gurung to hold joint rallies in the Terai and Dooars next month.
Morcha leaders like Hemant Gautam and Madhukar Thapa, who were present at todays meeting, also said the alliance would boost the winning chances of the three parties in the elections.
We have no reservations about Trinamul becoming a part of the alliance as the party supports most of our causes and demands. The alliance would substantially augment our support base and help corner a large chunk of votes, said Thapa.
The meeting that started at 12pm and ended at 4.30pm also resolved to organise demonstrations at block and panchayat levels across the Terai and the Dooars on a number of issues. There are huge anomalies in the distribution of work under the MGNREG scheme. Also, lakhs of tea workers are yet to get secured land tenures of their properties. With these two issues in mind, we will soon launch an agitation that will also help us prepare our workers for the elections, said Barla.
Observers said the alliance would boost Trinamuls prospects in the elections.
The main constraint of Trinamul is that it lacks tribal leaders and a base on tea estates. Its trade union is new and is yet to create a base in the brew belt. Further, the Dooars and Terai are still known to be strongholds of the Congress and the Left, though the Morcha and Parishad are slowly making a foray into one garden after another. So, the alliance would largely help Trinamul, said an observer.

|October 2006 Number 264
|JEL classification: E52, E62, E65, N12
Author: Gauti B. Eggertsson
Can government policies that increase the monopoly power of firms and the militancy of unions increase output? This paper studies this question in a dynamic general equilibrium model with nominal frictions and shows that these policies are expansionary when certain "emergency" conditions apply. I argue that these emergency conditions—zero interest rates and deflation—were satisfied during the Great Depression in the United States. Therefore, the New Deal, which facilitated monopolies and union militancy, was expansionary, according to the model. This conclusion is contrary to the one reached by Cole and Ohanian, who argue that the New Deal was contractionary. The main reason for this divergence is that the current model incorporates nominal frictions so that inflation expectations play a central role in the analysis. The New Deal has a strong effect on inflation expectations in the model, changing excessive deflation to modest inflation, thereby lowering real interest rates and stimulating spending.

Regional Reviews: New Jersey
Calvin Berger: Contemporary American High School Musical Inspired by Cyrano de Bergerac
Also see Bob's reviews of Barefoot in the Park and Lost In Yonkers
The bright and likeable Calvin (Cyrano) has long been smitten with the attractive, likeable and bright Rosanna (Roxane). However, Calvin is afraid to court Rosanna as he unreasonably believes that his large nose makes him romantically unappealing. She kind of likes him, but inexplicably feels that Calvin would not be interested in her as being admired just for her grace and beauty has made her feel boring and unworthy.
Newly arrived at the beginning of the school year is the handsome, good natured but tongue-tied, and frankly dumb as dirt Matt (Christian), who joins Calvin on the varsity wrestling team. Drawn to Rosanna, Matt starts to turn her off with his foolish talk, and turns to Calvin to provide him with conversation and love letters.
The quartet is completed by Bret (Le Bret), Cyrano's best friend and confidant. Most cleverly, Calvin Berger's Bret is La Bret, and she is in love with Calvin who is blind to her affection for him. Bret is a "one of the boys" kind of girl, short and, in her own eyes, unattractive. The only real conflict in this musical occurs when Calvin betrays Matt by providing him a letter to give to Rosanna in which he tells her of their deception in an attempt to steal her love.
It is a particular pleasure to be introduced to new and upcoming talent in the musical theatre. Calvin Berger is the first produced musical by Barry Wyner, who has singlehandedly provided book, music and lyrics. Wyner has set this daunting task for himself with mixed results. However, there can be little doubt that Wyner is a very talented young writer and those of us who love the American musical theatre will be looking forward to his future projects. I believe there are very good reasons that it is a very rare when the book and score of a successful musical is not a collaborative effort. The scope and complexity of joining music, lyrics and script, as well as the competitiveness and cooperation, and exchange of ideas and criticism that can best be provided by a close collaborator are invaluable.
On the questionable basis of a first hearing, Wyner's music is workman-like generic theatre rock, right down to the intriguing classical music sounding arrangements provided by Douglas Besterman for the argumentative/conversational lyrics. I enjoyed the ballad "Perfect For You" on my second hearing of it during its reprise. Still, I did find that the ballads were slow spots rather than highlights here.
Better yet is Wyner's sweet, literate and clever book. Both would be improved if Rosanna were given a strong reason for sharing each of the too many quartets in which the foursome serially and then together bemoan their unhappiness. I know it doesn't take much to make an adolescent feel miserable, but dramaturgically Rosanna needs stronger motivation than she gets here. Also, the evening's denouement would be more believable if Matt wasn't so stupid. The book also contains too many double entendres, albeit that most are funny and clever. Particularly sophomoric is the seemingly endless repetition of the joke of having the name of Rosanna's charity, S.H.I.T.O.T.S. (Students Helping Innocent Toddlers Off The Streets) meant as an acronym to be pronounced "Shy-Tots", mispronounced by Calvin and Matt as "Shit-Tots". I know that there are only four characters on stage, but, even without an advisor, would not Rosanna have realized that by changing the word "innocent" to "your" or "young" (I know that toddlers by definition are young), she would have had her acronym.
Best of all are Wyner's witty and mellifluous lyrics which fall perfectly on the music. Just a few, short examples:
Dreaming of meeting the right boy, Rosanna sings:
(Just before Rosanna sings of stopping at second base, her lyric references "basketball." It would enhance the cleverness of the lyric if the reference was to "baseball".)
After it turns out that Rosanna wanted to see Calvin about her charity and not about a date, Calvin sings:
Matt, who never talks "good" at any time, does even worse around girls:
Krystal Joy Brown is radiant in the role of Rosanna. Brown has charm and beauty to spare and, more importantly, she sings like an angel. Her sweet, strong and accurate notes are a joy to hear. Noah Weisberg brings a nice, anxiety-ridden comic touch and strong vocalizations to the title role. David Hull captures the goofy humor of Matt perfectly. Dana Steingold as Bret is a bit strident. The villain here may be the sound system which makes the songs which rocked the most (Bret's) sound a bit shrill.
Veteran director-choreographer Kathleen Marshall makes fine use of the playable and efficient two-level unit set by Derek McLane. Marshall stages the scenes so well that we are never conscious of the absence of any faculty or other students. However, the fact that almost all of her work as a director has been with revivals may account for her not helping the talented Barry Wyner eliminate avoidable neophyte lapses.
Still in all, it is a pleasure to welcome Calvin Berger, its talented young author Barry Wyner and this fine troupe to New Jersey.
Calvin Berger continues performances (Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 8 pm/ Thursday & Sunday 7 pm (except 3/14) / Matinees: Saturday and Sunday 2 pm/ Thursday 3/4 & 3/11 - 2 pm through March 14, 2010 at the George Street Playhouse, 9 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ 08901.

I have plenty of comfort foods - things I turn to when the weather's awful or I want to blub over a bowl of something. But Indian food is my comfort cooking, what I look for when there's a need to pound spices with a mortar and pestle, to idly stir, to stand in the kitchen next to the stove and fry pappadum after paddadum. It is the food of feasts and gatherings remembered, when the upstairs neighbours come down and the extra chairs are dragged in from the kitchen.
This dhal recipe began its life in a fairly 70s looking book in a kitchen far north of here, and was the one dish we always cooked from scratch rather than working from a store-bought paste, combining the headiness of onions and spice with the creamy blandness of lentils and coconut. I copied the recipe out years ago and have bastardised it so often I'm not too sure I remember how the original tasted.
Once again, my food photography astounds me with it's ugliness (and reminds me not to capture steaming pots ever again). Dhal tends towards the ugly side of delicious anyway, so my ego is a little mollified. If these photos could convey smell, though, these would be some of my favourites.
To make your own ugly pot of deliciousness:
- Wash a cup of red or yellow lentils, then cover with water (a few centimetres above the lentils) and bring to the boil. Cook until very soft then drain but reserve the liquid.
- Chop finely or whiz in a food processor two onions, two cloves of garlic and one green chilli (we always used the big, non-fiery banana chillis but I tend now to use red or green capsicum). I also add spinach or kale to the mix because the mother in me demands it.
- Dry fry one tbl of ground coriander, and one tsp each of tumeric and ground cumin (I actually prefer roughly ground coriander and cumin seeds here but it does leave the dhal a little rough around the edges) until they become aromatic. Add in the onion mixture and fry until onion smells cooked rather than raw.
- Pour in the cooked lentils and mix until combined. Mash the lentil mixture if it's not completely smooth.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of coconut milk or coconut cream (the original version calls for regular cream but the coconut is way better). Dear Boy has decided the winter-solid coconut cream is his new treat and demands spoonfuls of it if he sees me open the tin.
- The dhal should have the consistency of thick soup but if it's too thick you can thin it out with the reserved liquid. It's round about this point I threw in some peas to the mix.
- To serve, I fry up some roughly ground coriander seeds, dig into my fried shallot/onion stash, or sprinkle with fresh coriander if it's handy. I also dollop on a fruit chutney because I'm a sucker for chutney but natural yoghurt is good too. Eat with as many pappadums as you possibly can. I am all about the extras with Indian food.
Do you have any comfort cooking favourites?

Devotees of action "bromance" Point Break have said next year's remake is a chance to finally get the classic action thriller right.
Fans hit the social networks to voice their support for the new version, which they hope will replace the original's nailbiting bank raid, heartstopping chase sequences and thrilling surf scenes with something good this time.
Producers of the new film say that by subtituting CGI trickery for the skydiving scene they can have the film in cinemas early next year.
Kathryn Bigelow said: "I am thrilled that the Point Break remake – and indeed all the cast and crew of the original – have a shot at redemption. I can't bear to watch our movie because all that goes through my mind is how did we f*** this up?"
Original producer James Cameron said: "As the years roll by, it's easier to see the holes in Point Break 1991 – the chemistry between Swayze and Reeves, the pitch perfect action scenes, the beautiful, melancholy settings, and the poignant final scene in Australia.
"I hope they get that young guy from Gossip Girl. And that other guy from How I Met Your Mother. And somebody goddamn young for the role of Angelo – I mean who wants an old guy with tons of character like Gary Busey? I'm thinking a 25-year-old, max."
A source within the Swayze family said that Point Break 1991 was never mentioned in the household as its enduring popularity, box-office success and cherished place within American movie lore made it "a stain on Patrick's memory".
Movie lover Jan Crozier, 44, of Aldershot, Hampshire, said: "Every time I watch this movie I find my pulse racing with ambivalence, my nerves jangling with boredom, my eyes crying with apathy. And every time Bodhi dies I look at my family and we all just go: 'Er, remake please!'"
And Gary Gibson, 40, of Elk City, Oklahoma, told The Daily News: "It's a fair bet that Swayze and Reeves will be replaced two bland young actors with no character whatsoever. You want my opinion, that's a good thing. The star of Point Break this time round will be the CGI. Now we'll see some real stunts.
"I can't believe [original Point Break director] Kathryn Bigelow even thought about making the first film without CGI, even though CGI was just around the corner. Without it, the first film is just too real – if I wanted reality I'd go see a Michael Moore documentary."
Gibson said he is also looking forward to the Footloose remake, released in the UK next month.
"The dancing could be a lot faster. Hopefully with modern digital trickery they can speed it right up."
He would also love to see "Pulp Fiction done properly, with all the different threads re-edited into one linear storyline, the way it should have been done in the first place".Tweet

Louis Nassetta went to the Radiohead ballet in Eugene, Oregon USA, finding it very odd, but also interesting and very entertaining at the same time. Here's the songlist: Paranoid Android | You And Whose Army | Like Spinning Plates | Optimistic | Pyramid Song | No Surprises | Dollars And Cents | In Limbo | Life In A Glass House | The Amazing Sounds of Orgy | How I Made My Millions. It's pretty kinky and twisted. The actresses all had little bear ears. Overall, very entertaining and a trip to me because I love every one of the songs. Click here for a full review.
Check out this interview in Kludge Magazine with Kid Koala where he mentions, among other things, hanging out and playing bust a groove with Jonny. Jonny, of course, always wins, being the dance machine he is. [thanks Shibumi]

Could someone tell me what type of diode is the one on the picture - link below?

https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Temporary_IE

We need to connect relay to the peltier device (100w) and to arduino, it is heart of the cooling/heating system of the experimental incubator. We took this picture some year and half ago but I do not know what type of diode it is and I need to buy some for tomorrow. We are going to repeat this "experiment" and hopefully also connect 10 kohm based thermistor and measure temperature.

Thanks for any hint,
