Sam Moore belts and croons a dozen rock, country and R&B tunes with 20 guest stars from Mariah Carey and Travis Tritt to Fantasia and Steve Winwood on Overnight Sensational, an all-star celebration of the soul veteran's solo return.
. "These are ensembles and collaborations," insists Moore's wife, Joyce, who conceived Overnight 20 years ago. "The word 'duo' is the kiss of death for Sam."
As Sam & Dave, Moore and Dave Prater racked up such '60s Memphis soul hits as Hold On! I'm Comin', I Thank You and Soul Man. When they split, Moore encountered industry resistance to his solo plans. And after Prater died in a car crash in 1988, labels and promoters continued urging Moore to reconstitute the duo with a counterfeit Dave. Even recently he has been mistaken for his former partner.
"Like they all look alike," Joyce cracks. "Sam was hurt about being cheated out of his identity, but he was never bitter or angry. I, on the other hand, was infuriated. The music (Sam & Dave) made was brilliant, but the legacy has been an albatross. You don't see anyone forcing Tina Turner to go back to Ike."
Sax player King Curtis produced Moore's solo debut, Plenty Good Lovin', which gathered dust for 30 years before being released to wide acclaim in 2002. Hoping to rekindle the Curtis vibe, the Moores approached producer and American Idol judge Randy Jackson.
"Randy's so busy that I was a little apprehensive," Moore says. "But he listened and he got me and he nailed it. It was scary a lot of times, because Randy said, 'Let's spread out, Sam. Let's take chances.' Nobody else would expect me to sing a Garth Brooks song. He'd say, 'Forget the tricks soul singers do. Just sing it straight.' We didn't stand on ceremony."
Jackson relished the opportunity to work with an authentic singer and a veteran schooled in a range of styles. "Sam's music had rock, soul, blues, R&B, some country," Jackson says. "That's what legends like Ray Charles taught us. Music shouldn't have boundaries. It's hard to find originals today. You hear a lot of fake soul men, but Sam's the real thing, and he's singing his face off at 70, better now than in his prime."
The two bonded ("like Velcro," Joyce says) and set out to make the finest music they could without regard for trends or radio formulas.
"This is the way real records used to be made," Jackson says. "You think about the body of work, not a hit single. It's been a magical ride. Everyone has respect for Sam."
A host of luminaries volunteered to participate, starting with pal Bruce Springsteen, who had enlisted Moore for Human Touch.
"I set it up as a call-and-response, but I didn't know if he'd do it," Moore says of Better to Have and Not Need. "When the file came back, I thought I was listening to the Mighty Clouds of Joy!"
Guests range from Wynonna to drummer Sheila E. and guitarist Billy Gibbons. Moore delighted in every result. Sting tackling None of Us Are Free was "a perfectionist." Vince Gill on It's Only Make Believe is "the prettiest tenor." Paul Rodgers on We Shall Be Free was "a professional and a sweetheart."
Moore says: "It sounds mushy, but there were no egos. We laughed. We became family."
Jon Bon Jovi, joining in part for sentimental reasons (Sam & Dave headlined the first concert he and his wife attended together in New Jersey), sent his vocals on Lookin' for a Love remotely, then showed up at the former A&M studio to record face to face with Moore.
It's the same storied studio where Billy Preston recorded Will It Go Round in Circles. He returned to play organ on I Can't Stand the Rain, his last recording. Losing a battle to kidney disease, he lapsed into a coma last November and died in June.
"I've known Billy since he was 9," Moore says. "He'd hang around my house until I'd say, 'Go home.' I had many years with that guy, but I wanted more. When he got real bad, I didn't know what else to say except, 'Go home.' It was his time."
Preston's You Are So Beautiful closes Overnight. Eric Clapton agreed to add a guitar solo, a task he found emotionally taxing, he told Joyce later.
Moore, whose confidence was shattered when his early solo efforts faltered, hopes Overnight will finally grant him musical emancipation. "I knew deep down I could sing more than Soul Man," he says. "Now I'm wide open. Here's what makes a singer good: Focus. Heart. And you must be able to tell the story. Forget about how pretty you are. You gotta get ugly in the face."
Overnight was a hard-won dream. Following it with a one-man outing may be tougher.
"I'm not going to do material they're writing today, and I'm not going to lay upon the dead and grab onto Jackie Wilson or Sam Cooke," he says. "I do feel I can walk on stage in a tuxedo and maybe sing songs Sinatra used to do. I might take a chance at that."
Meantime, Moore is looking forward to some free time for golf.
"I love it as bad as I play it," he says with a wide grin. "I think I know golf better than I know singing. Singing, I'm still learning."

Field Hockey
The Hotchkiss field hockey program is committed to excellence in and out of the classroom and on the playing field. This pursuit of excellence has warranted an amazingly rich tradition of success since Hotchkiss went coeducational in the fall of 1974. As a member of the Founders League, the Western New England Prep School League and New England Prep School Athletic Council, the varsity squad has compiled quite a noteworthy record throughout its 42 year history.
Offering three levels of competition provides an opportunity for student-athletes of varying ability and experience the chance to participate interscholastically. The varsity, junior varsity and thirds teams practice on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday with games typically on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The junior varsity and third teams average 12-14 games per season, while the varsity plays a demanding 15-game schedule against many of the top Division I teams.
Even more important than the win-loss record, the beautiful playing facility or the college placement, however, is the personal growth that each athlete experiences during her field hockey career. Being a part of the Hotchkiss field hockey program teaches the importance of honor, character, hard work, and respect for others.
-- Robin Chandler, Head Coach, Varsity Field Hockey
Under head coach Robin Chandler, the program has reached the pinnacle of New England prep school field hockey and remained there for more than a decade. The team has won 12 New England Class A championships, including 10 consecutive titles from 2002-2011 and most recently in 2014. The Bearcats have also captured 17 Founders League titles (1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006-2015) and 12 Western New England Championships (1998, 1999, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010-2015) under Coach Chandler, whose record with the team stands at 303-22-17.
Our natural-grass facility includes two full-sized playing fields, one for the junior varsity and thirds teams. The quality of this playing surface has played a major role in the development of our highly skilled players over the years. In addition, our facility has been the site of three Division I New England Tournaments (1994, 1996 and 1998). Hotchkiss has also been very fortunate to install a synthetic turf field that was completed in the fall of 2006. This terrific facility is the home for our varsity field hockey and lacrosse teams.
Coaching Staff
Head coach Robin Chandler '87 returned to the Hotchkiss faculty in 1995 as the assistant athletic director, and now holds the position of Director of Athletics. While a student, she was the first female athlete at Hotchkiss to win 12 varsity letters, captaining all three teams (field hockey, ice hockey, and softball) in her senior year. Ms. Chandler continued her hockey career at Dartmouth College, where she earned Honorable Mention All-Ivy honors in 1989, 1990, and 1991, when she captained the school's first-ever Ivy League title.
Assistant coach Kaitlyn Perrelle '06 joined the team in 2016 after coaching stints at both Harvard and Lafayette. Ms. Perrelle graduated from Princeton University in 2010, where she lettered in both field hockey and lacrosse. She led the Tigers to four Ivy League championships and a NCAA Final Four appearance, and earned multiple All-Ivy League honors. At Hotchkiss, Ms. Perrelle was captain of the field hockey team, which won four New England and three league titles, and the lacrosse team, which won one Western New England and two league titles. She was also Hotchkiss' first All-American field hockey player. Ms. Perrelle was also a member of the USA Field Hockey U-21 national team from 2007-09 and won a gold medal in the 2008 Junior Pan-American Games.
Assistant coach John Virden '64 has been with the program since 1997. Coach Virden, who works primarily with the goalies, retired in 2015 after 34 years of service in myriad positions, including 25 years as Dean of Students.
Assistant coach Jamie Phinney is in her second year with the team. A Harvard graduate who captained the ice hockey team for the Crimson, Coach Phinney was also a member of the US women's Olympic hockey team that won bronze at the 2006 games in Torino. Coach Phinney works and lives at the Salisbury School.
Notable Alumnae
Over the years, many of our players have continued their field hockey careers at top Division I and III collegiate programs such as Princeton, Brown, Dartmouth, Boston College, Williams, Amherst, Middlebury and University of Michigan. We have had a great deal of success in this area because Hotchkiss has a reputation of strong academics coupled with top-notch athletics.

Much to the relief of the residents, the French and Malian soldiers regained control in Timbuktu. Many lives and assets have been destroyed during the ongoing violence between the French troops, the government and the Islamists groups in Mali. Timbuktu was center of Islamic learning centuries ago and home to precious Islamic manuscripts and is on the U.N. World Heritage List.
The militants which are in fact a part of al- Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) were forced out of the desert city by the French and Malian forces but before fleeing away, they torched down the Ahmed Baba library, that contained thousands of manuscripts from the Middle Ages. The library which had almost 20,000 treasures was due to receive 28,000 another manuscripts but didn't when the militants had entered the city last year.
The documents contain texts ranging from science, geography to mathematics and Islamic law, some of which had gold illumination dating back as far as the 13th century. They were imported to Timbuktu from Egypt and North Africa and different scholars would use them to add material to their own libraries.
The AQIM which claims to be an 'Islamic' (militant) organization is notorious for its strict Shariah laws and practices. It is therefore a proof of their terrorism that priceless Islamic manuscripts were torched by their hands, something that is sacred and important to Muslims all over the world.
While the place was torched down by the militants before they fled, many experts who are in charge of the library maintain that many of the manuscripts were removed from the library before the attack.
Mahmoud Zouber, Mali's presidential aide on Islamic affairs told in an interview said, "The documents which had been there are safe, they were not burned."
The militants might have left Timbuktu but have done a lot of irreparable damage to the historic city.

HP Scandal: The Boss Who Spied on Her Board
Suspicions and Spies in Silicon Valley
In a business saga, how Pattie Dunn's obsession with trying to root out the source of press reports ended with the covert tracking of directors' phone records.
Sept. 2006 – It was supposed to be an easygoing celebration of a coronation. In early 2005, after Mark Hurd had been chosen to be Hewlett-Packard's new chief executive officer, he and his wife joined chairman of the board Patricia Dunn and her husband at the Marin County home of director Tom Perkins. Sitting on a lush hilltop overlooking the Golden Gate, they dined and wined in honor of what they hoped would be a new era for HP, an icon of Silicon Valley that had been through much recent turmoil, including the ouster of high-profile CEO Carly Fiorina. After dinner, they moved to the huge living room. Before a blazing hearth, looking out at the stunning view of San Francisco Bay, Dunn wanted to talk shop with Hurd. As Perkins tells the story—Dunn declined to comment—the spouses were bored silly. So was Perkins. He went off to his study to get his prized radio-controlled helicopter, and proceeded to buzz Dunn's head. The spouses were in stitches. Perkins circled the toy helicopter for another mischievous pass. Dunn just kept on talking about regulatory issues and other arcana of management. "Pattie!" Perkins asked: "Didn't you just hear something zooming over your head?" Her answer: "I just thought it was the dishwasher running."
The funny little vignette suggested to Perkins that he and the chairman had entirely different MOs. Little did he realize that about a year later their styles and priorities would collide to create a boardroom scandal that would shake the company that was once lionized in the Valley. At the same time, it would mezmerize corporate America, as other business leaders wondered how HP could have been involved in activity the California attorney general calls "colossally stupid," no matter how well intentioned, and may well result in criminal charges.
HP has now admitted to spying on its own directors' personal phone records in order to root out a leaker. It did so by using private investigators who engaged in "pretexting"—calling up phone companies and impersonating directors seeking their own records. HP late last week additionally admitted to spying on the phone records of nine journalists, including at The New York Times and Wall Street Journal, some of which date to 2005. HP's Dunn stands accused of orchestrating the investigation. Perkins quit in a rage over the surveillance and wants Dunn out as chairman; HP is painting him as an angry traitor with a vendetta against Dunn. Lying, spying, name-calling, finger-pointing—all of it is a tragicomedy that Shakespeare might've penned had he gotten an M.B.A.
Perkins and Dunn surely are contrasting archetypes in the rich backstory of Silicon Valley. At 74, he's the nonpareil behind-the-scenes venture capitalist with a larger-than-life array of extracurriculars. His Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers firm is the Medici of the Valley, bankrolling such home runs as Genentech, Google, Netscape and Amazon. He performs the financial alchemy of converting millions to billions when start-ups go public, in the process making VCs like himself centimillionaires. Out and about, he was the fifth husband of romance novelist Danielle Steel. He's just launched the 287-foot Maltese Falcon, the largest and most expensive private sailboat ever built; last year he wrote his own bawdy novel, "Sex and the Single Zillionaire"; in 1996 he was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for his involvement in a sailing collision off the coast of France that resulted in the death of another regatta participant (he paid a $10,000 fine and individuals on the other boats were convicted as well).
Dunn, 53, is less prominent in the Valley's Zeitgeist, yet is a success story in her own right, as well as a profile in courage for her fight against cancer. She was raised in Las Vegas, where her father did bookings for casinos. Her mother was a showgirl at the Copacabana. While Dunn met the rich and famous, her family didn't have a lot of money. Her father died when she was 12, her mother had emotional problems, and Dunn and her sister basically raised their younger brother after they moved to the Bay Area. Dunn majored in economics and journalism at Berkeley, and—your punch line here—hoped to become an investigative reporter, her sister Debbie Lammers says. Dunn eventually wound up as a temp typist at an investing firm that was later acquired by Barclays, at which Dunn began her career climb.
In recent years, as vice chairman of a division of Barclays, she has become wealthy enough to own property in the East Bay and Hawaii, as well as a Shiraz vineyard in Australia. But in the midst of her Barclays and HP duties, she has faced repeated health crises. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000 and melanoma two years later. Those struggles have been widely reported, but Dunn confirms that she was diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer in 2004. Last month, after doctors discovered a malignant tumor in her liver, she underwent extensive surgery. Dunn says she has kept the HP board apprised of her health, and her sister says she marvels at Pattie's "willpower" and ability to "survive beyond doctors' expectations." Six weeks after her 2004 surgery, Dunn kept a promise to her family to hike across the Sydney Harbor Bridge in Australia. Before her most recent surgery, she stopped at her vacation home in Kona and played 27 holes of golf.
Dunn is demonstrably tough. Whether she was wise is a different question. "If I did anything stupid, it's not because I have cancer or was receiving chemotherapy," she tells NEWSWEEK. Perkins himself calls her "nobody's fool"—deft at running annual meetings and a tough questioner. Early in their time together on the HP board, Perkins and Dunn got along and were actually allies: they were part of the team that lured Hurd to HP from NCR. But their different outlooks as directors could not help but emerge. Perkins, the venture capitalist, thought in broad strategic strokes, preferring to leave the details to others. Dunn thought the core of her job was to dot the I's and cross the T's—to keep her board process-driven rather than personality-driven. It drove Perkins nuts. It kept making him think of that helicopter. He recalls a meeting in his office with her in which he wanted to discuss how to compete better with Dell, IBM and others. According to Perkins, she was fixated instead on her discovery that there were inconsistencies between HP's bylaws and the Corporate Directors Handbook. Those inconsistencies then occupied hours of discussion at subsequent board meetings. "Intel might be kicking the crap out of us," Perkins says, "but that didn't seem to matter."
That's an overstatement. In the new world of corporate governance after Enron and other business implosions, good corporate governance isn't just a swell idea, but a legal requirement. And corporate watchdogs give the HP board high marks for independence. The chairman deserves credit for the high marks. Meanwhile, the company's profits have risen, and its stock price has soared. The supreme irony now, of course, is that being a stickler for proper procedures doesn't seem to have worked out so well for Pattie Dunn. An obsession with leaks to reporters could have happened at any company, especially at one with all the intrigue HP had faced during Carly Fiorina's tenure. It's not a function of Silicon Valley and it's got nothing to do with the details of corporate minutiae. The Dunn-Perkins mess is about what drives most conflict: human emotions.
The HP board of directors has long been a leaky ship. During the embattled reign of Fiorina—HP's flashy CEO who was forced out nearly two years ago—a blow-by-blow account of a board retreat, held off-site to discuss the company's most sensitive problems, appeared in The Wall Street Journal. Furious, Fiorina laid down the law to board members: the leaks had to stop. For a time it appeared that the leakers, whoever they were, had gotten the message.
But then, in January 2006, the online technology site CNET published an article about HP's long-term strategy. While the piece was upbeat and innocuous, it quoted an anonymous HP source and contained information that could've come only from a director. It was the last straw for Dunn, who by then had been elected non-executive chairman of the board. Dunn was incensed that the drip-drip-drip of information out of the boardroom continued. She wanted to know the leaker's identity, but she would not supervise an investigation herself.
Dunn referred the matter to HP's general counsel. In turn, that office contracted out the investigation to security experts who recruited private investigators who then took the extraordinary step of spying on the phone records of all the directors (including Dunn), as well as journalists (including the CNET reporter). These were not the records of calls from HP offices, but the records of calls made from personal accounts—like Perkins's home in Marin County. It was classic data mining: HP's consultants weren't actually listening in on calls—all they had to do was look for a pattern of contacts.
It is not uncommon for companies to monitor the phones and computers of their employees. Indeed, in the wired age, most employees don't realize how much privacy they sacrifice. But pretexting goes a step beyond. The investigators use your ID—typically, the last four digits of your Social Security number—to obtain your phone records from unwitting phone companies. Last week California Attorney General Bill Lockyer said he has decided a crime was committed, though he hasn't concluded by whom.
In an interview with NEWSWEEK, Dunn says she was aware HP was obtaining the phone records of suspected leakers as long ago as 2005. But she says she didn't know about the pretexting until late June, when she saw an e-mail to Perkins from HP's outside counsel, Larry Sonsini. "I was told it was all legal," she says. She now acknowledges that HP's tactics were "appalling" and "embarrassing," but says the current "brouhaha" grew out of a personal dispute between her and Perkins.
Dunn insists Perkins was just as eager to learn the identity of the leaker as she was. "Tom was the most hawkish member of the board for plugging the leaks, which he thought were coming from management. He advocated the use of lie-detector tests." Perkins disagrees. He tells NEWSWEEK that Dunn brought up the idea of lie-detector tests and that he volunteered to take one. "I thought it would be a kick—great for my next novel," he says. But he pointed out that if word leaked out an HP director had to take a lie-detector test, it would be a "catastrophe."
It remains unclear exactly what Dunn knew and when she knew it. The California attorney general will want to know if Dunn intentionally avoided knowing about the details, like a head of state who wants "plausible deniability" while ordering an assassination plot. (An ancient model, cited by old CIA hands, is Henry II. When he wanted to get rid of the Archbishop of Canterbury, he simply muttered in front of his knights, "Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?")
In any case, Dunn sprang the identity of the leaker at a meeting of her fellow directors on May 18, at HP headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif. Meeting in the nondescript first-floor boardroom, Dunn laid out the surveillance and pointed out the offending director, who acknowledged being the CNET leaker. He was 66-year-old George (Jay) Keyworth, a science adviser to President Reagan and the longest-serving HP director. Thunderstruck, Keyworth apologized but said to the board, "I would have told you all about this. Why didn't you just ask?" Keyworth was asked to leave the room and did so. Close to 90 minutes of discussion followed. Hurd, the CEO, reportedly was asked by one director how he would handle a leak by an employee. "I would have no choice but to fire him," Hurd replied.
Other directors were noncommittal, according to Perkins. They included Larry Babbio, the president of Verizon—the phone company that has aggressively sought to protect the privacy of its customers' records. (Babbio, through a spokesman, declined to comment.) Perkins says he was the only director who rose to take Dunn on directly. Perkins told the directors he was enraged at the surveillance, which he called illegal, unethical and a misplaced corporate priority. "Pattie, you betrayed me," he says he railed at Dunn. "You and I had an agreement that if we found out who did this, we would handle it offline without disclosing the name of the leaker."
Dunn now charges that Perkins was just trying to protect his friend Keyworth. "He's angry that I stood in his way to cover up the results of our investigation and the identity of the leaker." Perkins dismisses the charge as a red herring—corporate spin to obscure larger issues. There may indeed be deeper issues at work. Dunn tells NEWSWEEK that Perkins has been agitating to vote her out as chairman for a while. At times, he had been. Inevitably their styles just clashed. Perkins is used to being king of the hill, even though he's never been a CEO. Venture capitalists routinely call the shots from behind the scenes in Silicon Valley, and Perkins is the most powerful VC of them all.
Whatever Perkins's motivations, he acted as if he were onstage in a melodrama. After a divided board, by secret written vote, passed a motion demanding that Keyworth resign, Perkins picked up his papers, grabbed his briefcase, walked out and zoomed off in his Porsche Carrera GT. "I quit!" he said as he stalked out. "I'll not be party to this. I'm resigning." Keyworth re-entered the room and learned he was being told to leave. He refused, saying it was up to shareholders to make such a decision. "We can ask him, but we can't make him," Ann Baskins, HP's general counsel, told the board. (Keyworth remains on the board even now, though HP announced last week it would not recommend him for re-election by shareholders come March; he declined to comment for this article.) After Perkins left the room, the rest of the board's agenda was scrapped and the meeting was thrown into chaos.
When Perkins returned to his office, he soon got a call from Sonsini, the best-known, most powerful lawyer in Silicon Valley. Baskins had called Sonsini at his nearby office and asked him to rush over. As Perkins tells it, Sonsini asked him, "How can I characterize this, Tom? May I say you're resigning for personal reasons?""No, Larry, you cannot.""May I say it's a disagreement with Pattie?""Sure, but don't you dare say I resigned to spend more time with my children."
In media mentions a few days after the May 18 meeting, Perkins's resignation was noted, but without explanation or any indication that his exit was a form of protest. This began nearly four months of warfare between HP and Perkins about whether the surveillance would ever come to public light. Any time a director resigns from a public corporation, federal law requires the company to disclose it in an SEC filing. If the director quits because of a major "disagreement" with the company, the reason has to be disclosed as well. HP reported Perkins's resignation but not the reason for it. It was the Perkins-Sonsini phone call, according to HP, that allowed the company to give the SEC no explanation. "I gave them the opening not to disclose," Perkins now says. "I'm no SEC lawyer." Sonsini did not return calls from NEWSWEEK.
A few days later, Perkins was off to south Florida to promote his bawdy novel. His publisher had set up a contest with Romantic Times magazine, with the lucky winners getting a chance to have dinner with bachelor Tom. From Daytona Beach he was off to Istanbul, where he was preparing his superyacht for its sail trials in the Mediterranean. He fumed that the reason for his resignation had not yet come out, and he felt constrained from going public himself. Over time, in e-mails with Sonsini and communications with the board, he escalated his attempts to force SEC disclosure, as well as to get federal and state officials to investigate HP's spying on personal phone records; the FTC, FCC and federal prosecutors have now begun investigations. Perkins hired his own lawyer, Viet Dinh, a former Bush administration lawyer who had helped draft the Patriot Act.
Perkins had concluded that Dunn had to go. He even e-mailed her so. According to Perkins, she told him no. (Dunn recalls only that "Tom wrote to disinvite me from the launch party of his boat" on the Italian Riviera in mid-July.) But Perkins was hardly all-consumed with the battle. The day before his $100 million sailboat departed for its maiden voyage, the government of Turkey threw him a reception at the Imperial Palace. Perkins decked out the Falcon with signal flags adorning the deck from bow to stern, across the tops of the three 190-foot masts. The playful message spelled out in nautical-speak: "Rarely does one have the privilege to witness vulgar ostentation displayed on such a scale."
Perkins came to learn more about HP's use of pretexting. He discovered that he himself was hacked. In an Aug. 11 letter to Perkins that he demanded, an AT&T attorney explained that Perkins was a victim of pretexting in January 2006, just at the time Dunn decided to find the leaker. The AT&T letter explains that the unnamed pretexter who got details about Perkins's home-telephone usage was able to provide the last four digits of Perkins's Social Security number, and that was sufficient identification for AT&T. The impersonator then persuaded a customer-service rep to send the records electronically to an e-mail account, email@example.com, that on its face had nothing to do with Perkins. Records for Perkins's long-distance AT&T account were similarly obtained, but it was by email@example.com. Both e-mail accounts are registered to the same Internet Protocol address, but AT&T says it doesn't know the identity of the user.
In mid-June, according to a letter Perkins sent to the full HP board, Perkins contacted Sonsini and asked him to look into the Dunn investigation. In an e-mail to Perkins obtained by NEWSWEEK, Sonsini acknowledged that Dunn's security consultants "did obtain information regarding phone calls made and received by the cell or home numbers of directors" and that it was "done through a third party that made pretext calls to phone-service providers." That was the first time Perkins had heard the word "pretexting."
Sonsini's e-mail emphasized that the consultants engaged in "no electronic surveillance," "no phone recording or eavesdropping" and "no recording, review or monitoring of director e-mail." His initial legal defense of pretexting was that it is "apparently a common investigatory method" and that "there was no 'secret spying,' i.e., no electronic gear, listening devices, etc." In its SEC filing last week, HP stated that the outside counsel had concluded that the use of pretexting "was not generally unlawful," but that counsel "could not confirm that the techniques" used by pretexters in the HP investigation "complied in all respects with applicable law."
Sonsini's legal tiptoeing intrigued Perkins for two reasons: it seemed to raise so many non-issues in Perkins's mind, and Perkins had also never heard of the pretexting that Sonsini admitted to. But it was only after he says HP then refused his repeated requests to take action that he eventually decided to approach a host of government agencies, as well as prosecutors in California and New York. By early September, HP scrambled to go on the offensive, and made a filing last week to the SEC, laying out the pretexting story for public consumption. The story exploded in the press (first in a piece on NEWSWEEK.com). Dunn called an emergency board meeting, which—by the time this story appears—may have called for her resignation. Dunn, interviewed by NEWSWEEK on Saturday, was philosophical. "My goal in this job was to help the board overcome its conflicts. I was unsuccessful. I wanted to show that two people at opposite ends of the spectrum could work together. That was naive."
Next week Dunn is scheduled to be inducted into the Bay Area Business Hall of Fame. Perkins is already a member. Maybe the two adversaries can reconnect at the induction ceremony—and exchange phone numbers.

To maintain your weight, you need to take in as many calories as you burn. For example, if you consume 2,400 calories in a day and your body burns 2,400 calories -- through both regular bodily functions and physical activities -- you're in balance and will maintain your weight.
Calories and BMR
You can carefully monitor your diet to track your calories, but determining your caloric burn is a little trickier. Part of doing so is knowing your basal metabolic rate, which people often simply call your metabolism -- that is, the rate that your body burns calories to maintain basic body functions.
Using BMR
Your BMR depends on your gender, age, height and weight. For a man, the formula is 88.362 + (13.397 x weight in kilograms) + (4.799 x height in centimeters) - (5.677 x age in years). For a woman, it's 447.593 + (9.247 x weight in kilograms) + (3.098 x height in centimeter) - (4.330 x age in years).
It's simpler, however, to use an online BMR calculator to find the answer. Finding your BMR tells you how many calories your body burns per day. Once you know the answer, you can use an online calorie activity calculator to determine roughly how many calories you burn during exercise and routine activities. Add this number to your BMR and strive to ensure your caloric intake is roughly the same.

Between 1999 and 2008, the number of elderly Hispanics and Asians living in US nursing homes grew by 54.9 percent and 54.1 percent, respectively, while the number of elderly black residents increased 10.8 percent. During the same period, the number of white nursing home residents declined 10.2 percent. These shifts have been driven in part by changing demographics, especially the fast growth of older minority populations. However, the numbers of minority residents in nursing homes increased more rapidly than the minority population overall, even in areas with high concentrations of minority populations. Thus, these results may indicate unequal minority access to home and community-based alternatives, which are generally preferred for long-term care. When designing initiatives to balance institutional and noninstitutional long-term care, policy makers should take steps to reduce racial and ethnic disparities.
There are seventy-six million US baby boomers—those born between 1946 and 1964—and the oldest of them turn sixty-five in 2011. During the next nineteen years, each day will be the sixty-fifth birthday of about 10,000 boomers.1 By 2030 the Census Bureau projects that 20 percent of the US population will be sixty-five or older, up from 13 percent today.2
The numbers of elderly people in racial and ethnic minority groups will grow particularly fast. The number of older Hispanics, for instance, will increase from just under 1.8 million in 2000 to more than 8.6 million by 2030, and the number of older Asians, from 0.8 million to 3.8 million.2 As the elderly population grows rapidly, the needs for long-term care are likely to increase substantially.
In the midst of demographic trends such as these, the US long-term care landscape has been undergoing a major transformation in recent years, one marked by a shift away from nursing home care and toward home and community-based services. The rubric of home and community-based services includes private programs as well as a wide array of publicly supported programs that provide eligible people with long-term services and supports.
Most funds for these programs come from what are known as Medicaid 1915(c) waivers, authorized in 1981 in the Social Security Act. States use the waivers to "rebalance" long-term care—that is, to achieve a better balance between institutional and noninstitutional services and supports, in both spending and use. The waivers pay for personal care and other supportive services that enable a subset of Medicaid beneficiaries to live at home or in a residential setting other than a nursing home.3
Not only are home and community-based alternatives less expensive than institutional care, but they are also overwhelmingly preferred by older adults with disabilities, who want to live independently in their homes and communities for as long as possible.4,5 Nationally, the percentage of Medicaid long-term care dollars spent on home and community-based services has more than doubled, from 19 percent in 1995 to 42 percent in 2008.6 The Affordable Care Act of 2010 creates multiple new opportunities to further expand home and community-based services and to accelerate the pace of rebalancing.7
An example of the expanding supply of alternatives to nursing homes is the rapid growth of assisted living facilities. However, these facilities cater primarily to relatively well-to-do people with private health insurance, and they tend to be concentrated in areas whose populations have high levels of education, income, and wealth in the form of equity in the value of personally owned housing.8 Such areas are typically suburban and predominantly inhabited by whites.
Given persistent racial disparities in long-term care access and quality,9–12 it is unlikely that all population subgroups will be equally able to reap the benefits of public and private initiatives to rebalance institutional and noninstitutional long-term care. As recent studies of nursing home closures have found, the numbers of closures are higher in communities characterized by high rates of poverty, higher proportions of racial and ethnic minority residents, and very few new nursing home openings.13 The geographic distribution of newer forms of long-term care is still largely unknown; whether such services are moving into communities that have lost nursing homes is unclear.
Moreover, despite the steady growth of home and community-based services, the majority of Medicaid long-term care spending still goes toward nursing home care. Nursing homes have been, and will continue to be, an integral part of the long-term care continuum for meeting the critical needs of older people who can no longer be supported in their homes.
Gaining a comprehensive understanding of the changing demographic profile of the US nursing home population is both timely and vital, to help policy makers understand and address potential disparities in long-term care among population subgroups.
Demographic shifts and the changing long-term care landscape call for a more comprehensive analysis of the nursing home population in terms of its racial and ethnic mix, and how this mix has changed in recent years. Before the introduction of the nationwide Minimum Data Set—part of the process for clinical assessment of all residents in nursing homes certified by Medicare or Medicaid, required under a 1987 federal law14—such analysis was difficult because of data limitations, particularly the exclusion or underrepresentation of Hispanics, Asians, and other minority residents.
Our analysis has two objectives. First, we investigate trends in the racial and ethnic composition of the US nursing home population between 1999 and 2008, using the Minimum Data Set. Second, at a more local level, we examine the association between changes in the racial and ethnic mix of nursing home residents and concurrent demographic shifts among population subgroups within the Census Bureau's Metropolitan Statistical Areas over the study period.
We briefly describe our study methods—including data, measures, and statistical analysis—below. More details are available in the online Appendix.15
We used the national Minimum Data Set to obtain information on the race and ethnicity of nursing home residents and to calculate the annual number of Americans in nursing homes. Census data and population estimates allowed us to track demographic trends among population subgroups. All data covered a ten-year period, 1999–2008.
Under federal law,14 the Minimum Data Set is a form that must be completed when a new resident is admitted to a nursing home, and at least quarterly thereafter. It is currently used in all nursing homes certified by Medicare or Medicaid and is the only uniform source of data available on the race and ethnicity of nursing home residents. The form uses five mutually exclusive categories: American Indian or Alaskan Native; Asian or Pacific Islander (hereafter referred to as Asian); black or African American, not of Hispanic origin (hereafter black); Hispanic (regardless of race); and white, not of Hispanic origin (hereafter white). In this analysis we focus on the latter four categories, given the extremely low numbers of Native Americans and Alaskan Natives in nursing homes.
We calculated the annual number of nursing home residents by including all individuals residing in a nursing home on the first Thursday in April of each year. Therefore, the number included both long-term residents (those with a length-of-stay of at least ninety days) and short-term patients receiving postacute care. In each year, the former group constituted more than 80 percent of the total. We excluded residents under age sixty-five and the few subjects with missing information on race and ethnicity.
Data on race, ethnicity, and age for the US population as a whole came from the 2000 national census and annual population estimates for other years in the study period. In the 2000 census, people were allowed to use more than one race category to identify themselves, and Hispanic origin was also a separate option. To make data comparable across sources and years, for 2000–08 we used what are called bridged-race postcensal population estimates—estimates after a census from the National Center for Health Statistics. For 1999 we used intercensal estimates, made between two federal censuses. Both types of estimates follow definitions of race and ethnicity that are consistent with the Minimum Data Set.16
To measure the racial and ethnic composition of the nursing home population, we used both the absolute number and the percentage share of residents in each racial and ethnic group, both nationally and at the Metropolitan Statistical Area level. Although our results do not report Native Americans or Alaskan Natives as a separate category, they were included in our calculations of the percentage shares of other racial and ethnic groups. The general population measures were determined similarly, but for each racial and ethnic group, we calculated the number and percentage of people age sixty-five or older, as well as the total population.
We tracked the national trend in the racial and ethnic composition of nursing home residents, 1999–2008, and compared this trend with demographic changes within each racial and ethnic group over the same period. To determine whether growth in nursing home use among a population subgroup was faster, slower, or about the same compared to overall growth in the total population—or to growth in the number of people age sixty-five or older—in the same group, we calculated both the overall and annualized rates of change from 1999 to 2008.
For both 1999 and 2008, we compared the percentage share of nursing home residents per racial and ethnic group across Metropolitan Statistical Areas, which were grouped in quartiles by the percentage of population age sixty-five and older within each racial and ethnic group. Because minority populations are geographically concentrated, we also performed detailed, area-specific analyses (similar to those at the national level) in the ten Metropolitan Statistical Areas that had the largest population of each minority racial and ethnic group.
Our analysis was based on annual snapshots of the nursing home population, including everyone residing in a facility at a given point in time. It is noteworthy that the number of older patients discharged from hospitals to nursing homes for short-stay, postacute care has risen substantially since the introduction of the Medicare prospective payment system for hospitals in 1983.17,18 Despite this trend, the proportion of long-stay residents in nursing homes has remained quite stable (roughly 80 percent).19,20
Therefore, our portrait of the racial and ethnic profile of the nursing home population is unlikely to be affected by the "churning" of short-stay patients into and out of nursing homes during the study period. Nevertheless, these dynamics in nursing home use do point to the need for future research to track individuals as they transition through nursing homes and other care settings.
The national nursing home population declined by 6.1 percent from 1999 to 2008, or by an average of 0.7 percent per year (Exhibit 1). This trend was driven primarily by a decline of 10.2 percent among white residents. In contrast, the total numbers of Hispanic and Asian residents grew 54.9 percent and 54.1 percent, respectively. The number of black residents also grew, although at a slower pace. In relative terms, the percentage of white residents in nursing homes also decreased, while the percentages of blacks, Hispanics, and Asians increased.
From 1999 to 2008, the US population age sixty-five or older grew at a faster rate than did the total population (Exhibit 1). Both the total and older (age sixty-five or older) populations of blacks, Hispanics, and Asians grew more rapidly than did those of whites. For instance, both the older Hispanic and Asian populations experienced explosive growth (58.2 percent and 64.2 percent, respectively), compared to just 6.7 percent for whites. Growth of the older black population was less dramatic, at 16.2 percent, but still more than double the rate for whites. The increase of nursing home residents from all groups except whites was highly consistent with the groups' population growth.
Exhibit 2 shows racial and ethnic percentages of nursing home residents at the level of Metropolitan Statistical Areas in 1999 and 2008. For each racial and ethnic group, we calculated the percentage of the total population age sixty-five or older in each area and divided the areas into quartiles, by group. The percentage of nursing home residents for each minority group was substantially higher in Metropolitan Statistical Areas that had a higher percentage of people age sixty-five or older within the same minority group.
For blacks in 1999, for instance, the average share of nursing home residents was more than nine times higher in the highest quartile than in the lowest—13.7 percent versus 1.5 percent (Exhibit 2). The differences were even larger for Hispanics and Asians in 1999. That is, in Metropolitan Statistical Areas where a minority population was older, there were more members of the minority group in nursing homes. In contrast, no such association was observed among whites. Similar results were seen in 2008.
Comparing data between the columns in Exhibit 2 reveals that the average percentage of minority nursing home residents increased from 1999 to 2008 across all Metropolitan Statistical Area quartiles. This was in contrast to a declining percentage of white residents overall. Furthermore, the annualized rate of growth of the nursing home population and that of the population age sixty-five or older in each minority group tracked each other quite closely across the areas (see Appendix Figure 1).15
Lastly, we identified for each minority group the ten Metropolitan Statistical Areas that have the largest numbers of people from that group. With rare exceptions, both the minority population age sixty-five or older and the population of minority nursing home residents grew at a considerably faster rate than the overall minority population between 1999 and 2008, no matter which minority group was considered (see Appendix Table 1).15 The growth was most dramatic in areas with the largest Hispanic or Asian populations. These local patterns are consistent with results at the national level (Exhibit 1).
Our analysis is the first to use the national Minimum Data Set14 to track the most recent trends in the racial and ethnic composition of the nursing home population, along with concurrent demographic shifts at both the national and Metropolitan Statistical Area levels. The results indicate that nationally, both the absolute numbers and the relative shares of minority residents in US nursing homes increased steadily between 1999 and 2008, in contrast to declining numbers and percentages of white residents.
Hispanics and Asians were the fastest-growing minority groups among nursing home residents, followed by blacks. Similar trends and patterns were observed at a more local level across major US metropolitan areas. These findings portray the changing face of the nursing home population, and they signal an important shift in the use of long-term care options among racial and ethnic groups in the US population.
These results should be interpreted in light of two ongoing trends. First, changing demographics appear to be a major driver of recent shifts in the racial and ethnic profile of the nursing home population. Second, the evolving long-term care landscape, shaped by both market forces and public policy efforts to rebalance long-term care, may also be involved in the observed shifts. Minority elders may well face greater barriers than white elders in access to home and community-based alternatives to nursing home care.
Our analysis reveals that between 1999 and 2008, both the numbers of minority nursing home residents and minority older populations have grown rapidly and that these two parallel trends were correlated. Furthermore, the numbers of minority residents in nursing homes increased more rapidly than did either the minority population as a whole or the minority older population in virtually all Metropolitan Statistical Areas with high concentrations of minority populations over the study period. Thus, recent shifts in the racial and ethnic mix of nursing home residents overall have been driven in part by changing demographics, especially the fast growth of older minority populations.
The rapidly growing number of older people who will need long-term care, regardless of setting, will increasingly challenge the country's physical and economic resources. There is troubling evidence that the disabled proportion of the US elderly population grew between 2000 and 2005,21 reversing a previously well-documented and long-term trend of declining disability among the elderly.22
The prevalence of chronic disease among younger populations is also on the rise, which leads to projections of increased morbidity and disability among elderly people of the future.23 Depending on trends in old-age disability, the availability of informal support networks, and ongoing efforts to rebalance long-term care, the recent downward shift in rates of nursing home use,24,25 primarily among elderly whites, may well be halted or reversed in the future. Although not examined in this analysis, the rapid growth in the use of nursing homes by racial and ethnic minority populations may have resulted from ongoing changes in family structures that have led to the declining availability of traditional, family-based care options.26–28
If current trends continue, racial and ethnic minorities—especially older Hispanics and Asians—will become an even larger share of the nursing home population. Ultimately, that population will mirror the racial and ethnic makeup of the elderly US population. This prospect raises concerns about whether nursing homes will be able to provide the culturally sensitive and competent care required to meet the needs of residents from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
Historically, disparities in access to nursing homes and other formal long-term care services may have contributed to the lower rates of use of such services by elderly members of minority groups, compared to elderly whites.29–31 But as nursing home occupancy rates have declined in most markets, and assisted living and other home and community-based options have proliferated, access to nursing home care may no longer be a problem for elderly minorities.10,32
Our finding of steady increases in the share of older blacks, Hispanics, and Asians in nursing homes in recent years lends support to this interpretation. The apparent increase in minority access to nursing home beds appears to indicate shrinking levels of disparity in long-term care. However, long-stay residents make up more than 80 percent of the nursing home population, and nursing homes are widely perceived as an unfavorable option—and indeed used as the last resort—for long-term care, compared to home and community-based alternatives. Thus, the results reported here may suggest not a lessening but a shifting of disparities, with minorities still underrepresented in preferred sites of care.
In fact, at a more local level, our analysis shows that across metropolitan areas, the relative share of racial or ethnic minority nursing home residents was correlated with the percentage of elderly in the same minority group, but no such correlation existed for whites. This suggests that compared to minority elders, white elders may have more varied choices of care in their communities and may have been better able to afford alternatives to nursing homes such as assisted living facilities, largely used by people with private insurance. Racial and ethnic minorities, in contrast, are more likely to live in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas with limited alternatives to nursing homes.8,33
If increased use of nursing homes by minority elders has resulted in part from a lack of access to home and community-based alternatives, then a renewed concern about access disparities arises. As racial and ethnic minority elderly populations grow rapidly, their demand for nursing home care will increase further. Yet between 1999 and 2008, nearly 16 percent of all nursing homes certified by Medicare or Medicaid closed, resulting in a net loss of more than 5 percent of beds.13 More important, these closures were concentrated in minority and poor communities.
These disconcerting facts suggest that disparities in access may be further exacerbated in those communities. It is also important to note that when minority elders do use nursing homes, they are more likely to end up in lower-quality facilities characterized by fewer resources, greater reliance on Medicaid, poorer service, and worse care than available in nursing homes in more affluent communities.11,12,33
The results of our analysis can be used to inform current policy efforts intended to rebalance long-term care. We contend that the increased presence of elderly people from racial and ethnic minority groups in nursing homes and the simultaneous exodus of whites are indicative of potential disparities in access to home and community-based alternatives. Policy makers should bear in mind that although home and community-based services are preferred by older people needing long-term care, such services are unlikely to be equally available, accessible, and affordable for all subgroups of the population or across all communities. Ultimately, poor minority elders may be increasingly relegated to nursing homes, while whites with more financial resources are able to use various home and community-based alternatives.
Data on nursing home residents are regularly gathered through mandated inspections of the facilities and assessments of the residents. But aside from accounts that track Medicaid spending on home and community-based services, there is no standardized national data set on home and community-based providers and the clients they serve.Without such information, it is difficult to examine the full range of long-term care options available in local communities, and it is impossible to determine levels of care quality delivered by these different service providers.
Policy efforts to rebalance our long-term care system should be based on full information on the changing long-term care market. Although ideally such a system of data collection would have been developed long ago, it is reasonable to suggest that states now make a coordinated effort to gather information on all home and community-based services that require licensing—including home health services, assisted living facilities, and adult day care providers—when they receive or renew a license.
Recent shifts in the racial and ethnic composition of the US nursing home population indicate that a confluence of market forces and policy initiatives may have unintentionally perpetuated long-existing disparities among racial and ethnic population subgroups in access to nursing homes and home and community-based alternatives to them. New disparities may also have arisen.
Policy makers must pay particular attention to enduring and emerging disparities in long-term care, especially in light of rapid changes in both population demographics and the long-term care landscape. They should also strive to build equity into current efforts to rebalance long-term care.10 Given the geographic concentration of racial and ethnic minority populations and nursing home residents from those groups, efforts to reduce disparities should target both communities and facilities with high concentrations of minority residents.

Massive Explosion Happens In Russia's Sky
What the heck was that?
A massive burst of light in the Russian sky stirred some attention on the Internet today.
In a dash cam video uploaded to YouTube, a large orange, yellow and red fireball seems to explode in the sky. Speculation about what this explosion of light was included everything from bomb testing to the actual video being fake. But one redditor, who identified himself as an astronomer, seemed to have the most legitimate answer:
Astronomer here! Probably too late for the party on this one, but this just looks like a particularly bright fireball meteor. These are actually not as rare as you would think- NASA has a network in the USA to look for them, for example.Specifically, if I had to bet, today is the peak of the Leonid meteor shower. The Leonids are a strange beast of a shower whereby some years you get storms that produce thousands of meteors due to particularly dense debris, some years are years were nothing happens out of the ordinary. This was supposed to be one of the ordinary years (~10/hour from that- you get one meteor a minute just from normal debris) but that doesn't mean you can have larger chunks as part of that 10/hour.
Check out the video yourself and let us know if you have a more plausible guess on what this is.

Castle Country Along the River Dee
Published: July 16, 1989
(Page 2 of 3)
Blairgowrie's games are rather more colloquial and it is their small-town feel (two local hotel staffs were competing in the tug of war) that retains much of the original spirit of these rural games - a fitness competition among the clans in which every member was required to participate. We celebrated our arrival in the Scottish countryside by standing in the soft mist with Blairgowrie's kilt-wearing citizens, watching footraces, hammer hurling and the tossing of the caber while nursing steaming cups of tea and cheering.
Pressing on north to Braemar, a prosperous river village cut from gray stone where the Clunie Water splashily joins the River Dee, we turned east on A93 toward Aberdeen, where barely half a mile out of town we came to Braemar Castle. While not officially part of the Gordon District Castle Trail, Braemar was on our route to our first night's lodging in Blanchory, less than an hour's drive farther east. Braemar is also typical of the classic Scottish baronial style - a mass of turrets and winding staircases and tall slender walls with windows high above ground - and one that still serves as a home to the Farquarson family.
Built by the Earl of Mar in 1628, Braemar became the property of the Farquarsons, owners of some 30,000 local acres, in 1689. During the last of the Jacobite uprisings, the castle was garrisoned by the English in 1715 and again in 1745. Inside it is still possible to find Hanoverian graffiti scrawled on the sitting room walls.
The castle, which one enters via a low, narrow door like slipping into a storybook illustration, is a layer-cake of floors (there are nine bedrooms) connnected by stone spiral staircases. The interior furnishings are a haphazard melange of modern and antique pieces, including 100-year-old glazed chintz upholstery, and portraits of Queen Victoria attending the Braemar Gathering.
The castle's rooms do more to conjure a feeling for the region's history. On the basement level there is a trophy room displaying stuffed and mounted local game, including the head of an Aberdeen angus. Adjacent to this is the laird's chair placed conveniently - if ghoulishly - for family entertainment purposes atop the dungeon. A quick peep through the grillwork reveals a smattering of bones. Our guide, a sandy-haired high-school youth in full kilt regalia, informed us that the dungeon's last tenant had been a 14-year-old child imprisoned for stealing a sheep.
Slipping from the castle into the damp Scottish dusk, we hastened to our first night's respite at the Banchory Lodge Hotel. A two-century-old fishing lodge hidden at the end of a long driveway, the inn stands at the intersection of the rivers Dee and Feugh. (Nearby is the Brig o' Feugh, where one can see the salmon leaping upstream.) The present house, which is largely Georgian, was enlarged and updated in the 18th century. The present owners, Dugald and Margaret Jaffray, upgraded it again in the mid-1960's.
What exists now is a 24-room inn on its own stretch of exquisite Deeside - the area is one of the wealthiest in Scotland - that offers private sport fishing and other leisurely rural pursuits. The white stucco building is surrounded by 12 acres, including an expanse of velvety lawns dotted with peacocks and white wrought-iron furniture. Inside, the house is classic country comfortable, with log fires, oversized chintz couches, deep armchairs, snoozing Labradors. The spacious dining room accommodates travelers in either evening dress or blue jeans. We dined on a salad of thinly sliced venison, poached local salmon and a summer pudding of black currant. Our double room, which unfortunately did not offer a view of the river, was spacious, outfitted with a small sofa, arm-chairs and heated towel racks in the full bath.
The next morning, after a traditional breakfast of smoked kippers and oatmeal, we strolled the banks of the Dee, where the summer sun dappled about the river's lone fisherman. Between casts, he informed us that the Dee was a spring river - a veritable ''tin of sardines'' from which a record 40 salmon were pulled in a single day last June - but that by late summer it offered ''not a touch.''
From Banchory it is less than a half-hour drive up Route 980 to Craigievar Castle. This would be our only stop on Grampian's official Castle Tour (which continues on north and east of Alford to include among others, Castle Fraser, another 16th-century Bel-built castle, Haddo House, an 18th-century Georgian mansion and, most impressively, the massive 13th-century Fyvie Castle). But Craigievar, as any guidebook or resident will tell you, is the castle to see. Not only is it one of the finest 17th-century tower-house castles anywhere - its smooth pink-stucco sides rising to a fairytale cluster of turrets, gables, balustrades and corbels - but its splendidly elaborate molded plasterwork interior is rare evidence of the brief Renaissance influence in Scottish history.
Craigievar was built in 1600 by a wealthy Aberdeen merchant (the molded plasterwork was added in 1625) who blended the Renaissance-inspired decorative interiors with an functionally defensive exterior. There are 19 apartments in all, connected by a series of spiral staircases. The Great Hall with its encrusted plaster ceiling is particularly impressive. Although the castle has not been lived in for 25 years (and is still without electricity), it was fortunately untouched during the Scottish civil wars and, later, the Victorians refrained from adding any superfluous wings.

There's a TV campaign running alongside these that are actually VERY funny.
They feature the same players shown here and a couple of additional famous power players.
They all turn out to be surprisingly great actors on camera.
I really don't care for the copy in this print campaign, but the art direction is really slick. I can just stare at these for a good chunk of time.
I was wondering who did those tv spots...
Tracy Wong and the gang.
Makes total sense.
"luck" is the best one. but they all feel kinda...old...like a bad ripoff of an old Sportscenter spot...
if the fonts on the sunglasses layed and faded like the reflect. it will be more tailormade and crafted like the rail and the chip stack ones.

BP: Oil Demand in U.S. Gas Market Peaked
Last year the largest oil and gas producer in the U.S. derived 34 percent of its $366 billion revenue from this country.
LONDON -- BP Plc Chief Executive Officer Tony Hayward said demand for oil coming from the U.S. gasoline market "has probably peaked" as ethanol blending gains ground and Congress works on enforcing fuel efficiency, as reported by Bloomberg News.
"We probably sold as much gasoline into the U.S. as we'll ever sell" in the first half of last year, Hayward said at a presentation of BP's Statistical Review of World Energy in London. The U.S. "is not a growth market. Markets with growth in products are China, India."
Hayward also relayed the U.S. has the potential to offset future higher energy demand with efficiency measures over the next ten years. At the same time, investment in more biofuel production and the possible end of ethanol import restrictions may lead to replacing petroleum in transport fuels, Bloomberg reported.
As the largest oil and gas producer in the U.S., BP derived 34 percent of its $366 billion revenue from this country, while the rest of the world excluding the U.S. and Europe accounted for 21 percent.
Gasoline demand in the U.S. fell last year for the first time since 1991, according to the Energy Department in Washington. Motorists burned 8.964 million barrels of fuel daily in 2008, 3.5 percent less than a year earlier. The slump continued into 2009.
World oil production may peak at some stage, driven by limited demand from consumers, Hayward said. Rising oil prices may encourage wider use of alternative sources of energy and biofuels production expansion to substitute crude.
"The world has ample proven reserves" to "meet the world's needs for decades to come," Hayward said. "It will be a demand-side phenomenon, not a supply-side phenomenon," which will limit global crude oil production. "Demand for fuel for transport in the U.S. has probably peaked" relating to hydrocarbons, he said.
BP's energy review showed the net growth in world energy consumption last year came from the industrializing countries outside the 30-nation Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
"Non-OECD energy consumption was greater than OECD energy consumption for the first time" in 2008, BP Chief Economist Christof Ruehl also said at the presentation. "Non-OECD economies have had five years of the fastest growth ever."
BP is targeting the U.S. ethanol market as it plans to invest between $5 billion and $6 billion to expand production of the biofuel in Brazil. Earlier this year, it has appealed to Californian regulators to set the first U.S. example by suspending state import tariffs on Brazilian ethanol.
"We believe fundamentally in free and open energy markets and a tariff on imported ethanol is the tariff on the free energy markets," Hayward said. "It would be a good thing" to cancel the Brazilian import restrictions, he said.

Nelson Mandela digital archive is live on the web
28 Mar 2012 09:56
The Nelson Mandela Digital Archive Project went live on the web, yesterday, Tuesday, 27 March 2012, to allow the world to share in the life and legacy of this extraordinary African statesman.
Along with historians, educationalists, researchers and activists, users from around the world now have access to extensive information about Mandela. The new online multimedia archive includes Mandela's correspondence with family, comrades and friends, diaries written during his 27 years of imprisonment and notes he made while leading the negotiations that ended apartheid in South Africa. The archive will also include his earliest-known photograph, rare images of his cell on Robben Island in the 1970s and never-seen drafts of the manuscripts for the sequel to his autobiography Long Walk to Freedom.
"It is invigorating to see our combined efforts become a reality," said Verne Harris from the NMCM. "This digital initiative will make it possible for us to reach the full spectrum of our stakeholders, from the global elite to systemically disadvantaged South Africans. Visitors can search and browse the archives to explore different parts of Mandela's life and work in depth: Early Life, Prison Years, Presidential Years, Retirement, Books for Mandela, Young People and My Moments with a Legend."
Steve Crossan, director of the Google Cultural Institute said, "The project shows how the internet can help preserve historical heritage and make it available to the world. We've worked closely with the NMCM to create an interactive online experience with powerful search and browsing tools, so that users can explore Mandela's inspiring life story."
"Engage with history"
"The archive currently includes over 1900 unique images, documents and videos and will grow over time. South Africans from all walks of life can now engage with important parts of our country's history," said Luke Mckend, country manager for Google South Africa.
With a team of dedicated Googlers around the world, the Google Cultural Institute builds tools to preserve cultural heritage and make it accessible worldwide.

Getting started with home remedies & natural treatments is simple enough… in fact, you'll probably find everything you need right here, in your kitchen. Just scout around, add a little bit of this, a dash of that, and you're good to go! A healing mixture of honey & ginger juice can cure a cough, while a few dry figs soaked overnight can cure constipation. It isn't rocket science and it does not require a deep understanding of human anatomy!


text: Teletronic adds CCTV contract to TETRA deal for Monterrey Metro02 Nov 2015 10:49 AM Teltronic to supply the video surveillance solution for Line 3 of the Monterrey Metro System, Mexico, in addition to TETRA radio equipmentSiemens has selected Teltronic, part of the Sepura Group, to supply, install and commission a video surveillance solution for part of the Monterrey Metro system in Mexico. The deal follows an earlier contract for the deployment of a Teltronic TETRA critical communications system within the Metro.Monterrey, the main city of the State of Nuevo León, is finalising the successful construction of Line 3 within its rapid transit system, referred to as Sistema de Transporte Colectivo Metrorrey. Line 3 will have 7.4 km of double tracks, with electric trains operating on 6.5 km of elevated structure and 0.9 km of tunnels.Siemens is responsible for implementing the signalling, telecommunications and control systems of the metro line, ahead of completion next year.An integrated IP video surveillance system will provide high-quality video throughout Line 3's eight stations, as well as an additional station in Line 2. The system will enable remote real-time monitoring, as well as recording and long-term storage of all video footage. Teltronic will also supply the solutions and applications required within the Metrorrey command and control centre.Felipe Sanjuan Pasamar, Business Development Director for Transportation Systems, commented: "This extension to Metrorrey's existing TETRA system provides a complete, integrated solution, combining radio solutions and CCTV, and demonstrates our continued ability to enhance passenger safety through the provision of effective subsystems and applications."This agreement also reinforces the close collaboration between Siemens and Teltronic in the transportation market, acting yet again as technical partner for the operation of essential systems in mass transit infrastructures."See also:Teltronic to supply TETRA system for Monterrey Metro in MexicoJames Atkinson EditorLinkedIn |Google + |Email Leave a CommentPlease write code to prove you're humanMore on...
