On March 8, 1862, the men of the 11th Mississippi and the rest of Whiting's brigade left Camp Fisher near Dumfries, after a winter stay of almost six months, and marched to the southwest, about twenty-eight miles distant.
They established a new camp about two miles to the south of the Rappahannock River, near Fredericksburg, Virginia, and named it Camp Bartow in honor of another hero at Manassas, Colonel Francis S. Bartow, commander of the second brigade at that battle.
As Bartow and his color sergeant, carrying their regimental banner, led the remnants of the 7th Georgia Infantry in an all-out counter attack on Henry Hill, a bullet struck Bartow near the heart. In his last words he begged his soldiers to hold their banner at all costs.
"They have killed me; but boys," he implored, "never give it up." On Friday, April 4, 1862, on the peninsular southeast of Richmond, Federal General George McClellan moved slowly toward Yorktown, his massive Army of the Potomac confronted only by fifteen thousand Confederates and a frail line of fortifications along the Warwick River.
In the meantime, General Joe Johnston shifted southward his principal army In Virginia from the line on the Rappahannock to bolster the blocking force on the peninsula, commanded by Major General John Bankhead Magruder.
As McClellan was preparing his siege line around Yorktown to the consternation of Lincoln and the War Department, one of the new recruits of Company D, the Neshoba Rifles, arrived to join Magruder's small force.
On that Monday, April 7, 1862, Private Charles A. Ridout, a twenty-nine year old, married, straight-laced school teacher from the western section of Kemper County, wrote to his wife, Annie Hardy Ridout; "I attended the Methodist Church... yesterday, and heard a very excellent Sermon. The Soldiers are very wicked, the most profane men I ever Saw in my life. I have a great many trials to undergo, but am determined by the help of God to live the life of the Christian... I heard yesterday that Lincoln had offered to acknowledge our independence if we would give up Kentuckey [sic] and Misoria [sic], if that be true I think he will give up soon. As for my part I am not in favor of giving up a foot of Secession Soil."
After only a few weeks in camp, the Kemper County school teacher and father of a young son, Charles Ridout, again reflected in a second letter to his wife, the life of a soldier, far from home and family: "Although we are Separated in person yet you are never absent from my thoughts: and it is my continual practice to recommend you to that Being, whose eyes are on all his creatures, and to whom the Secrets of all hearts are open. Here I am, far away from home, and my loving wife and child; from all that makes life dear to me. Camp life has no charms for me; nor would I Seek the battle field fort its own sake. To dwell with you at home would be far more agreeable to every feeling of my heart. But if God Spares my life and health, here I intend to be, until my country no longer needs the work I am doing. I did not volunteer for a holiday amusement. I did not come to camp Seeking ease. I came to aid a good cause in danger, and while the danger continues I will be here. What if others prefer to Stay at home and make money, while I am passing through these Toils. Their failure to do their duty will not excuse me from mine."
Ridout correctly assessed the situation. The first winter had passed. The soldiers had re-enlisted for the duration of the war, and the regiment had reorganized. The Mississippians were ready for a war that was only ten days away. Nothing could prepare the soldiers, however, for the carnage that was to come.

Theresa Samek, a 34-year-old Elk River woman, has won the grand prize in Reading Frenzy's 4th of July essay contest.
She wrote a short story titled, "That Sees Beyond the Years," a creative futuristic story set in 2055 about a 93-year-old man who was on life support after a stroke.
The piece was the winner of the adult portion of the contest (18 years of age and older), and entered into a grand prize drawing that she won. Samek will get a personalized tour by Jody Lind-Anderson, publicist, Adventure Publications, a publishing company in Cambridge.
In her story, a musical assisted therapy coach tries to get a response from a gentleman, who turned 18 the day after Sept. 11. When the coach plays patriotic music like "The Star-Spangled Banner," the 93-year-old man wakes up from his coma.
For winning first prize, Samek won a one-on-one mentoring session with published author, Craig Yelle. She also won a book on writing written by Stephen King.
Hank Strandberg, a 19-year-old Elk River man, took second place in the adult division. He wrote "Why I Love America," a short non-fiction piece about the virtues of living in America:

Precious Metals: The Emerging Asset Class
Over the past year, the cult of equities has made a return, as indices roar to all-time highs, and as many look to cash in on new IPOs like they did in the last tech boom 15 years ago.
Yes, the markets are flying high, and if history is any guide stocks look to be on the cusp of the kind of parabolic breakout that characterized the 1982 to 1987 and 1993 to 2000 bull markets, where conventional markets went up 4 and 5 times, respectively.
It looks as though 2008 is a distant memory– heck, one wonders if what occurred 5 years ago even matters at all, when looking at current stock prices.
As the song "happy days are here again" plays in the background, the herd can once again ignore the precious metals, perhaps as they did in the 1980s and 1990s, the last time we saw such powerful moves higher in the conventional markets.
But I'd like to make some historical comparisons between the two periods, to explain how even with stocks catching all the attention, this hardly means that gold and silver will continue to be left out in the cold.
Here are three main reasons why I do not believe gold, silver, PGMs, or mining shares will behave as they did in the 1980s and 90s:
1) Just last month, President Obama actually made reference to the reserve status of the U.S. dollar as being in jeopardy based on current dysfunctional behavior in Washington, D.C. I don't ever recall Presidents Reagan through Clinton saying something similar– and for good reason. To take the case of President Reagan's first term in office, the US Dollar rallied something like 50% at one point. While I don't expect the dollar to crash anytime soon, too many players globally are looking to diversify away from the greenback for the dollar to re-enter a secular bull market. A big question mark remains over the US dollar's reserve status and this represents one of the most powerful reasons to continue to own precious metals– or even to acquire more.
2) The challenges facing mining companies these past couple of years signals a downshift in global gold and silver production. This decline won't happen immediately, since it takes a while to shudder mine projects- but ore grades can only decline so much before it becomes uneconomical to attempt to increase overall mine output. This reality stands in marked contrast to the 1980s and 1990s, where mine output for both metals made significant increases during those decades. Supply constraints– especially if they are coupled with new industrial demand for the white precious metals– will eventually lead to higher prices.
3) The growth in the global middle class outside of the West is a trend that began 20 years ago, but the trend has accelerated in recent years. Many commentators believe that the shift in wealth from west to east will mean that upwards of 50% of new entrants to the global middle class in future years will come from areas outside the U.S. and Western Europe. As has been seen all year, buyers in Asia and the Middle East possess an attachment to physical gold- ranging from the person buying jewelry to the central banker buying bullion bars– that is hard to break. Oftentimes these attachments speak to the cultural memory of volatile local currencies or political malfeasance in these nations.
Overall there remain some big differences between today and 20 or 30 years ago when it comes to precious metals. While faith in central planners and their ability to levitate equity markets is strong among some, there are others like myself who do feel that 2008 mattered–and not in a good way. Zero percent interest rates, a stagnant economy for upwards of 80% of people in the U.S. and Western Europe, continued discussion of unsustainable debt levels, and the existence of a black hole of derivatives and other "off balance sheet" financial sleights of hand are just a few issues facing investors currently.
Every day comes news of an exchange opening up somewhere in the world to trade gold, in addition to the plethora of new investment vehicles available for those who seek out alternative investments like precious metals. We have truly never seen a world where on the one hand gold and silver can be traded as investments, and on the other so few people actually own these investments.
It may be hard to believe it now, but I don't think the precious metals will remain under-owned forever.

GWEN IFILL: Boston, Fort Hood, Kansas City, Oklahoma City. What happens when random mass violence strikes home? What do we call it, and how do we prosecute it?
Welcome to the NewsHour again.
LISA MONACO, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism: Hi, Gwen.
GWEN IFILL: Today, the attorney general, Eric Holder, gave a speech at the observances in Kansas City, in which he talked about this kind of domestic terror as an affront to the nation.
Is it terrorism?
LISA MONACO: Well, Gwen, I think what I talked about in Cambridge on the anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings just a few days ago was that violent extremism has been with us in many forms, unfortunately even 19 years ago this week in Oklahoma City.
So, it comes in many forms. And what we need to do is bring community efforts together to counter it.
GWEN IFILL: I do want to talk about what the solutions are. But also I think what we call it matters too, right? You used the term attack on the homeland to describe the Boston Marathon bombings. You're a Boston native. Obviously, it hit close.
That is particularly vivid language, but still not the T-word.
LISA MONACO: Right.
Well, I think we can get caught up in labels. I think, as the attorney general spoke out quite movingly, as you indicated, today in Kansas — and our hearts go out to the people of Overland Park. They are investigating that matter and looking at it as a hate crime.
And so I don't want to get ahead of that process. Obviously, that is a matter for the prosecutors and the investigators. But what we have seen is extremism comes in any number of forms. And it's not confined to any one community. It's not confined to any one individual of a particular faith. We need to respond to it and reject it regardless of faith, regardless of where it's present.
GWEN IFILL: Or regardless of employment or standing.
At Fort Hood, the president after that spoke out about the threat from what he described as radicalized individuals. How is that different from responding to other kinds of threats which could be in the homeland or elsewhere?
LISA MONACO: Right.
Well, that's exactly right. The dangerous of an individual being drawn to violence, being radicalized to violence, it's some of what I spoke about the other day. We have to do a lot more as a government and as a community to understand what draws people to violence, what takes them down that path.
And that's one of the things we're trying very hard to do, to bring the community together to understand it and to impart the best science, the best expertise, the best understanding of what draws people to violence and how we, as a community, whether it's coaches, teachers, faith leaders, how can they intervene with individuals in their community to point them in another direction.
GWEN IFILL: Americans look at violence that happens close to home differently than at a distance, for obvious reasons.
But how do you act when it's the same type of violence, but it's just here? How is our reaction as a government, as a community, how is it different or how should it be different?
LISA MONACO: Well, we have a really good example in the Boston bombings.
What we saw there and what we commemorated and remembered on Monday was a — was a community coming together to respond, both medical professionals, law enforcement, community members, to both respond to an attack, an expression of violence from two individuals radicalized, and then to help a community heal.
GWEN IFILL: When you talk about a community action, it almost sounds like you're saying not over here on the federal government, over there in your hometown.
LISA MONACO: Well, I think what we have learned is that there are limits to what the federal government can do in terms of identifying individuals who are being drawn to violence.
We're not always going to be able to see the warning signs. The government isn't best positioned to see that, necessarily, all the time. In fact, we have crunched the data.
GWEN IFILL: But should it be better positioned to see it?
LISA MONACO: Well, I think we can be by working with the community, by engaging more.
We have looked at this very hard. What we have found from one study is that, in 80 percent of the cases, community members saw warning signs, but they didn't see them as an indicator of a problem, whether it was a teacher hearing from a student that they were interested in traveling abroad to fight, whether it was a parent seeing a kid being more confrontational.
We have to learn together and educate community members and trust in community members who can come and intervene and point that usually youth to a different path.
GWEN IFILL: Is watching for signs, watching for behavior changes, is that a little passive in the face of what's sadly and repeatedly growing problems here?
LISA MONACO: Well, it's not the only thing we're doing.
We certainly need to make sure we as a community are poised to see those warning signs and see them as signs of trouble, but our law enforcement needs to and has been — and, in fact, Boston is a great example of this — prepare for in advance to understand how they're going to respond, how they're going to work together to respond to an act of violence.
GWEN IFILL: You mentioned in your speech in Cambridge a comprehensive prevention model.
LISA MONACO: Mm-hmm.
GWEN IFILL: What does that look like at the federal level, the state level, and the local level?
LISA MONACO: What it really means is engaging with community members, and not just on the security side, whether it's educators, health professionals, religious leaders as well, sharing best practices.
What do we know? What has our expertise taught us about how somebody becomes radicalized? How can we share that information so people can understand to see these warning signs?
GWEN IFILL: Is that a law enforcement response? The debate we always have when things happen is whether it should be a law enforcement response, whether it's a debate about gun control, or whether it should be a mental health response or something else like that, or are you talking about a combination of all these things?
LISA MONACO: All of them.
GWEN IFILL: Emphasis on one or the other?
LISA MONACO: It can't be done in any one silo.
It is in part a law enforcement response, because this is a public safety issue that we're talking about first and foremost. And law enforcement has a role to play, but so do teachers and so do parents and families.
GWEN IFILL: And should these kinds of crimes be prosecuted differently?
LISA MONACO: Well, I guess it depends on what you mean.
I think they have got to be prosecuted based on the facts and the evidence that is presented, which is exactly what's going to happen here.
GWEN IFILL: I guess what I mean is whether it should be prosecuted as terror, prosecuted as domestic murder charges, as a regular criminal charge.
LISA MONACO: Well, in both instances, we have got statutes on the book that are going to be available to us, and we can't apply any one cookie-cutter approach to it.
GWEN IFILL: Lisa Monaco, the assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, thank you very much.
LISA MONACO: Great to be with you.

- ideas for the next seraph relic
Argyle_Gargoyle 4 years ago#1
i thought that the latest seraph relic (increase damage and health regen when coming out of FFYL) was a bit lackluster.
seeing as how this is the last DLC (confirmed that is) what would you like to see?
i would really love to see a relic that offers ammo regeneration. (we can exclude rockets and grenades to keep from being too OP). as it is, Sal is the only character with any sort of ammo regen. everyone else is kinda left to their own devices.
now i dont generally find myself running completely dry on ammo, but it would be a really nice convenience thing, especially for a plaer like me who enjoys going for the highest fire rate possible. the builds i run on zer0 and axton(especially) are basically impossible to do without an infinity pistol as the ammo cap has me running dry very quickly. if i use my shredifier on my axton build, i can achive a 40+ fire rate. the 900 ammo stock does not go very far with this sort of build.
i dont like stockpile relics as they take away from my overall fire rate. i need the relic spot for additional fire rate bonuses. but i could definitely justify using a regen relic when ammo starts to run short
i was just trying to think of what id like to see, and i feel like this would be a welcomed addition to just about everyone. we can even make it stack on top of sals regen so it is even useful to zerker players.
what do people think? i feel like it would be a really nice thing to have for raid bosses. the regen rate should be too high to the point that you could just fire away indiscriminately and never have to worry about running short. just enough to ensure you can keep using the guns that we all love.
also, what sorts of new seraph gear would you guys like to see? guns, relics, shields, grenades, whatever
Crazy? Crazy with low prices on Wind Brahmin. You buy one!!

I'd definitely like an ammo regen relic.
Failing that, a relic that converts a fraction of damage to health.
Bye-bye, rubi, hello rapier.

ah. i like it. basically a way to moxxi-ize non moxxi guns. id say tat we couldnt make its % higher than the rubi (dont want to make it too OP or make all moxxi guns totally useless), but i like the idea

Let's see... what's the lowest rate? The Cherie-Amie has 2%, I think that's pretty low.
If balance is an issue, it could come with an additional nerf, like decreased max health or something. Really depends how high the percentage is if they decide to actually do that.

i dont know if it even needs a negative affect. id say that the negative it that it takes up your relic spot.
i would say you dont want to make it too high though in order to keep it from being instant god mode.
i think %2 could work pretty well. it isnt all that impressive on a slow firing sniper rifle, but on some other weapons, it could end up giving some pretty beastly regen.
im not entirely sure what the regen % is on the good/bad touches. maybe something around that rate, as that definitely isnt overpowering health regan.
Crazy? Crazy with low prices on Wind Brahmin. You buy one!!
Definitly ammo re-gen. Maybe a relic that lets you scope in while in FFYL. Maybe couple that with some other effect, like tossing grenades because by its self I'm not sure it would be all that useful. I know Axton can toss grenade in FFYL from the skill tree, but it could save a point for something else.
A pessimist is just an optimist with more experience.

Resistance 35% to 4 elements. .
Oh, you thought they made this game for you? You clearly bought the wrong game.
jloewenstein 4 years ago#8
With a relic that regens sniper ammo and the proper cover I could clear a whole area. This would be fantastic and... maybe a little OP.
A movement speed relic, to run'n'gunners (with cooldown time)?
A double-jump relic (like the grenade trick)?
innersmoke 4 years ago#9
Explosions of the seraph - increased explosive damage and grenade/rocket capacity
Brains of the seraph - increased critical damage and xp gained
Fingers of the seraph - increased fire rate and reload time
Will of the seraph - cooldown speed and melee override cooldown
Guts of the seraph - dmg reduction, ffyl time and second wind health
Yep that's all I got for now, these seem viable

|Elves, Varden
| Ildrid the Beautiful (mother)
Liotha (cousin)
Blödhgarm was a male elf spellcaster, who had the ability to alter his appearance according to his perception of beauty. During the war against Galbatorix, he was in charge of a group of twelve elven spellcasters from the capital city of Du Weldenvarden, Ellesméra. They served as Eragon and Saphira's personal bodyguards. Several of these elves, including Blödhgarm, chose to join Eragon as he and Saphira left Alagaësia to care for the Eldunarí and dragon eggs.
Appearance Edit
Blödhgarm had the fangs of a wolf, the pelt of a forest cat, as well as the eyes of an eagle. He had blue fur, which some women found beautiful. He also had a musk-like scent that attracted only females. His name in The Ancient Language means "Blood Wolf." He once declared to Nasuada that someday, if his perception of beauty were to change, he might turn himself into a creature of The Sea and swim away.
Family Edit
Blödhgarm was the son of Ildrid the Beautiful. He is also said to have a cousin named Liotha, who also had a wolf-like appearance. Not much else was known about his family.
Abilities Edit
He was an extremely talented elven spellcaster, being the leader of a group of eleven other elven spellweavers. He is shown to be faster than all of these eleven in the long chamber in Galbatorix's palace and can be assumed to be stronger than them. His physical appearance did not lend him any additional abilities.
Role in the Varden Edit
He was assigned by Islanzadí to support Eragon and Saphira, along with the eleven other spellweavers. They helped Eragon battle Murtagh and Thorn by combining strength. Blödhgarm and the other elves acted as Eragon's assistants in almost every conflict he faced after being sent by Islanzadí.
The twelve spellweavers were loyal to Islanzadí, who supported the Varden. Blödhgarm survived the assault on Urû'baen. After the war, Blödhgarm and his surviving magicians were charged with protecting the Eldunarí and trying to heal the minds of those who had been enslaved to Galbatorix. When Eragon and Saphira decided to leave Alagaësia with the Eldunarí and the dragon eggs, Blödgharm and his spellcasters accompanied them.
History Edit
Together, the twelve were powerful enough to withstand three of the Forsworn simultaneously, albeit with a friendly dragon in the air supporting them.
Scent Edit
Blödhgarm himself had a musk surrounding him that attracts females, which could be an attempt to find a companion or simply an unanticipated side-effect. Nasuada and Elva could counter the musk by concentrating on the taste of horehound, which was apparently extremely acrid in flavor, based on the memories of Nasuada from her time in Farthen Dûr. It seemed his smell had no effect on Arya. Soon after Blödhgarm arrived, Trianna placed a ward on Nasuada that protects her without her having to concentrate on horehound. Men were entirely unable to detect this odor. When Saphira pointed it out to Eragon, he noticed nothing. Saphira had to share it with him mentally in order for him to experience it.

I enter a burning village to save some villagers from the rampaging Hobgoblins. Target selection is proving a bit of a chore and I'm noticing a few animation and texture bugs - a bow appearing in Tenn's hands when I'm throwing shuriken, some floating around, some see-through NPCs. The combat is still paying dividends, though. At level 6, I start learning finishing attacks, critical hit chains and defensive counters. This is clearly a game of consequences rather than mindless clicking.
I take a break in town to find out what Diplomacy is all about. I've been seeing NPCs offering "interviews" that require a certain amount of "presence" to start. This is a whole alternative levelling track, complete with its own quests, clothing and equipment, where you play conversations like card games, employing conversational gambits with musical motifs. It's fascinating, and Tenn looks quite fetching in her Diplomacy civvies - but I have combat levels to gain. Some other time.
Into the Hobgoblin cave, and Vanguard shows its true colours. It's tough, even at this level, before death penalties kick in. Taking on two enemies at once is a challenge, respawns are rapid and unforgiving, and some quests are solo-friendly in theory rather than practice. I bump into a Dread Knight who doesn't want to group, but we warily agree to pick off one half of each pair of enemies for an easier life.
After several deaths, quest completion and a hairy run out, I repair to town and check out crafting before logging out. It's even more complicated than Diplomacy. Vanguard and its community still aren't welcoming me with open arms, but it's working some kind of spell - I've been absorbed in its world for hours now.
EverQuest II: levels 5 to 10
It's Erollisi Day, EQII's ridiculous parallel-dimension Valentine's. I get mail from a "secret admirer" with a "roses are red" poem in it. I'm an evil rat wizard. Why is everyone being so nice?
I gather rubble, kill a wolf for a spoiled girl, find an exciting mystery loot item shimmering on the ground that turns out to be a Shattered Froglok Bone Fragment. Later on, I loot a moth. The visual effects are great, but the animation is terrible, and I still have no idea what's beyond these looming, dark hillsides.
Round about level 7, EverQuest II's Stepford dream starts to turn sour. My wonderfully friendly and welcoming guild doesn't seem to do or say anything but congratulate each other on levelling up, or gaining Achievement points (EverQuest II's second character advancement track, where points awarded separately of levels can be used to specialise your character). Something good seems happen to someone in the guild every five minutes, and the chat channel is a ceaseless stream of "Gratz".
Congratulations? Or just mindless gratification? You can have too much of a good thing, you know. I have tons of spells but they're all either burst damage or damage over time, and it doesn't seem to matter what order I use them in. I barely need to walk any distance from quest-givers to start killing, and the spawns come to me before obligingly keeling over under my lightning bolts.
The in-game help manual is excellent, an example to other games of this kind, but it can't tell me where the sense of adventure is. A few dozen skeletons, a handful of bats, too many pages of actorly droning, a couple of hours and five rounds of "gratz" later, and Tenlevels lives up to his name - but I don't feel like I've been anywhere or done anything yet. I've got a guild, but I've never met any of them, and I haven't fought with anyone by my side.
Vanguard: levels 7-10
Within an hour of logging back into Vanguard, I've got something better than a guild: someone in my friends list. An enemy we both needed to kill for a quest was refusing to be soloed, so we partied up and spent a happy half-hour slaughtering (and still dying) in the wheat fields. Afterwards, I pick up a couple of bags from a guy giving them away for free in the village - free if you win a quick-draw typed round of rock, paper, scissors, that is.

Hello Guys,
I wish to share my terrible experience with the HDFC that I am undergoing at the moment. I wanted to buy a property as an investment and was looking for options. I came across the HDFC-NAHAR 80/20 scheme where I need to pay 20% of the agreement value and the remaining 80% could be through HDFC home loan. I still repent to have fallen for this scheme as I believe it is the horrible scheme in the market where the HDFC executive give you a serious mental strain and will make you mad. I wanted to bring my anger and frustration out and hence I created a new account on twitter so that I can share my experience with you all.
After paying the initial booking amount and letting them know that I am looking for HDFC 80/20 scheme for Nahar property investors, I received no call from them.
I called Ms. Soniya (ex-sales executive of Nahar) to tell her and she told me to email this and she would take up further. I was pretty ok with all this and was in a good state of mind. I never taught anytime as this is the beginning of my suffering. I have by the way banking with HDFC bank for quite some time. I have also taken personal loan from HDFC bank which I cleared as per the 3 year schedule. I presently have HDFC car loan which I am paying my EMI's on time. In spite of all the good track record, I had to finally approach my HDFC bank at Juhu for sending an executive, which they did promptly. This is the only service, I received from them as after that I received no calls for several weeks and when finally I started getting calls from Nahar group that they would cancel my flat as I have not been able to get HDFC loan, I seriously started following it up. I was surprised that they wanted one more document from me which I arranged immediately. They also informed me that I am not eligible for Rs. 36 lacs loan but for Rs. 23 lacs because of my credit card spending. I make prompt payment of my total credit card dues but since I was in need, I accepted to this request. I was than told to show the balance Rs. 13 lacs which I was able to show them with the document that they wanted. Even, that was a experience which I will share later. I have been continuously following with the HDFC since than and each time I am told that allotment letter copy will be delivered today. However, I am still waiting for the TODAY that they mentioned, I guess it is on its way. I after follow up was also told to send allotment letter which I scanned and emailed them five days ago. I am still waiting for my HDFC home loan sanction letter to be delivered. I came to know that now they are waiting for approval from Nahar regarding who will pay the processing fees of the loan?
Am I here referring to HDFC Ltd a BSE listed top 100 company in India or am I referring to some unlabelled money lender? I am still waiting for my HDFC Home Loan sanction letter as I am writing this blog. I seriously do not know when it would come? Or whether it would come? I will keep you all posted if it is delivered to me in future. Thank you.

We talk to three HR professionals about the merits of omitting personally identifiable information on CVs
HR needs to take workplace culture much more seriously, according to an Australian academic
The end of 2012 is near, and so is the workplace Christmas party. It's a great way to reward staff, build morale and improve relationships – if you get it right. So how do you make sure your company gets the most of its end of year shindig?
Keep the objectives in mind
What are the goals and objectives for holding this party? While staff may see it as a chance to drink booze on the company dime, there are all kinds of disagreements to balance, from where to hold it to what to serve.
The company might want the party to be as cheap as possible. Religious groups will want a party that caters to their varying dietary needs. Gen Y workers typically want a party to be held at a club, while more mature staff will want it to be all over by 8pm. With all these demands, what's a HR professional to do?
First and foremost, it is crucial for the HR planning team to get together and jot down what the key motivations for having an office party are in the first place. Taking note of what factors are important, and which ones are not, is the best way to ensure that the party does not go off-track.
In most companies, the annual office party is all about gathering everyone in one location to mingle and relax.
"While we have departmental town halls and social gatherings throughout the year, the annual party is an informal platform for people across the bank to connect, have fun, and get to know each other," Samantha Chia, head of HR at DBS said.
For Sylvester Lau, Assistant HR Manager, Hoerbiger KT, the yearly bash is a time when the organisation's leaders can connect with their staff. "The annual event celebrates the success and efforts of all throughout the year," he said. "It allows management to have a direct connection to the employees and recognise their contributions."
Once you set your goals, you and your team will have a much better time figuring out how to achieve them.
Keep the spirits up
Even with the most comprehensive planning, sometimes things just don't go as planned. It is not uncommon for a party to get out of hand when there's too much alcohol, and HR ought to have some precautionary measures for this possible outcome.
However, since it is a year-end party, employees are expecting to have fun and let loose, so it may not be a good idea for companies to be too restrictive. It would be ideal to send out an email beforehand outlining what is considered inappropriate behaviour, and to ensure that staff make considered transport arrangements after drinks.
According to Chung, the tip is not to withhold alcohol completely.
"I'm not sure if you want to be at a party when there's not enough alcohol served," Chung said. "Seriously though, the level-headed answer would be not to leave the tab open – it will kill you. Negotiate for a fixed open bar price. Spending on the right stuff means focusing on the things that matter."
And after all, no one wants a party where staff say they would rather be working than spend another minute there. As most things go – balance is the key.

La Fissazione della International Poverty Line: una nuova proposta applicata al Vietnam
[Setting a new International Poverty Line: a new proposal applied to Vietnam]
The poverty line, which has been set by the World Bank in 1990 at 1.08USD/day PPA contains three major errors: it does not refer to a clear definition of poverty; it uses wrong PPA factors converting national poverty lines and it is based on limited data from two countries with the highest poverty incidence. All these errors lead to a systematic underestimate of world poverty. The objective of the paper is be then to evaluate the accuracy of international poverty estimates produced by the World Bank. The case study analyzed in the paper is Vietnam, a country which experiences impressive achievements in term of poverty reduction in the last twenty years. The specific aim of this study is then twofold. Firs, it will construct a new international poverty line using different PPA conversion factors giving more weight to goods consumed by the poorest people. Second, it will design a poverty map for Vietnam using this new poverty threshold. Results indicate that using more accurate PPA conversion factors poverty rates are much higher than the current estimates and this suggest a general revision in the method of setting an international poverty threshold.

The youngest player at the tournament at just 16, Daniel De Silva, gave the Young Socceroos the advantage a minute into the second half.
Colombia equalised on 78 minutes through Jhon Cordoba.
Young Socceroos coach Paul Okon set out his team in a 4-2-3-1 formation and it paid off with the Aussies just shading the possession stakes.
While Colombia took the upper hand early, Australia soon managed to grab a foothold with Joshua Brillante prominent in the centre of midfield.
Colombia playmaker Juan Quintero tested Young Socceroos goalkeeper Paul Izzo on more than one occasion before the dangerous Connor Pain went close to breaking the deadlock on 18 minutes.
He slid in at the far post to meet a Brillante cross from the right but under pressure from his marker his scuffed effort beat Colombia's goalkeeper but was cleared off the line.
Soon after Quintero curled a free-kick from the left edge of the box goalbound but Izzo was on hand to palm the ball over the bar.
After the goalless first half, De Silva took less than a minute after the restart to end the stalemate.
The Perth Glory midfielder latched on to a perfectly weighted Adam Hoole through ball and his first time shot from close range found the net despite Christian Bonilla getting his hands on the shot on its way in.
As the half wore on Colombia became more desperate in attack and after Andres Renteria spurned a fine opening, Izzo kept efforts from Andres Correa and Quintero, again, at bay before the pressure finally paid off.
A ball into the box from Quintero was laid into the feet of Cordoba and after one touch to control he drilled a low shot, with the aid of the slightest deflection, into the bottom right hand corner of the goal.
Young Socceroos: Paul Izzo; Jason Geria, Connor Chapman, Curtis Good, Scott Galloway; Joshua Brillante, Jackson Irvine; Daniel de Silva (Jamie MacLaren 90+1'); Andrew Hoole, Connor Pain (Ryan Williams 82'); Adam Taggart (Corey Gameiro 71').
Next up for Australia is a Group C meeting with El Salvador on Wednesday morning AEST while Colombia faces host nation Turkey.
Turkey tops the group thanks to a 3-0 win over El Salvador with Cenk Sahin scoring twice.
Salih Ucan put Turkey ahead after nine minutes, with Sahin (46, 63) making sure of the victory after the break.
In the Group D opener, Greece scored late on to snatch a 2-1 win over Mexico at Kamil Ocak Stadium in Gaziantep.
Andreas Bouchalakis gave Greece the lead on 16 minutes while Jorge Espericueta replied for Mexico five minutes before the break.
Dimitrios Kolovos scored the winner on 88 minutes.
Paraguay and Mali followed that up by fighting out a 1-1 draw. Mali got off to the perfect start with Adama Niane opening the scoring after just three minutes, but Paraguay equalised four minutes later through Jorge Rojas.

The seasons have officially changed and that means one thing — spring cleaning time.
When it comes to that annual deep cleaning, most people tend to think of their homes only, but they shouldn't overlook their office workspace.
Think about it. Your space at work is like your home away from home.
If there are 24 hours in a day and you spend 9 of them at work, and 8 sleeping, that only leaves 7 waking hours left to fully enjoy the rest of your day.
Like it or not, work will encompass many of your waking hours, so why not take the time to organize your workspace and make it a little more enjoyable?
The first step in sprucing things up is analyzing your space. Decide what works, what doesn't and what needs improvement. Assess what will make your space work best for you.
While you are analyzing your workspace, keep in mind that in order for your area to be efficient, things need to be easily accessible. Meaning, if you need your phone and computer to complete your daily tasks, they should be close to your desk. Not across the room from each other.
After you've analyzed your space, you should make a list of the things you need to fix problem areas. If there's too much clutter on your desktop, maybe you need more storage space. If you can never find anything when you need it, maybe you need materials to improve, or establish, your personal filing system.
If you're the type of person that likes to see everything, you may want to find a desktop file holder. If you prefer the out-of-sight, out-of-mind method, you'd be better off with filing things away inside desk drawers.
The third step in cleaning up your act is doing just that — cleaning.
You want to get rid of anything that you don't use.
That goes for unnecessary paperwork, too. If you have a pile of sticky notes on your desk, put the information on them into a more permanent format. Ideally, that would be an electronic file on your computer.
While everything is cleared from your desk, take a few minutes to give it, your computer monitor, keyboard, telephone and everything else a quick cleaning with a sanitizing solution.
The fourth step would be to go shopping with your list of needed materials in hand.
"Shopping" doesn't have to be limited to stores, it can be done in office storage closets and even in your own home. Before you hit the shops, take a quick look in those areas to see if there's anything that you can repurpose to suit your needs.
No reason to spend money when you don't have to.
While you're out shopping, pick up a few items to give your workspace a little personality. Be sure to stay within office limitations. If there's a policy against hanging decor on walls, you're better off sticking with a few desk knick-knacks like colorful storage boxes or even a bedazzled stapler.
When jazzing up your workspace, think of the things that make you happy and incorporate that into your space. If there's no place you'd rather be than relaxing by the ocean, why not pick up a few beach-themed accessories? It doesn't have to be a literal interpretation. It could be a nice framed picture from your last ocean-side vacation and other items in tranquil shades of blues and greens.
If you love gardening, why not pick up a bouquet of flowers — fake ones will work — and place them within eyesight on your desk?
The most important thing to remember when doing a little spring cleaning at work is to make your space your own.

20 Best Lyrics From Drake
Let's face it, Drake has had a pretty good couple of years. He went from playing a paralyzed teenager on 'Degrassi High' to being one of the biggest rappers in the game. With only one album out, and one on the way, he's quickly become the go-to collaborator for everybody from Lil Wayne to Kanye West to Jay-Z. Fans have been patiently awaiting his sophomore release, 'Take Care,' due in exactly four weeks on Nov. 15, but they haven't been deprived of his lyrics; he's featured on other artists' records, covered R&B music and let just about everyone into 'Marvin's Room.'In honor of Toronto's favorite MC, and his forthcoming sophomore effort, sit back and enjoy our countdown of Drake's 20 best lyrics.
20. "Intelligent too, ooh, you my sweetheart/ I've always liked my women book and street smart/ Long as they got a little class like half days/ And the confidence to overlook my past ways." ('Fancy')
Rarely do you find a male artist making an anthem for women, but Drake's 'Fancy' falls squarely into that category. From the one-liners to the inquisitive chorus, this track is entirely club-worthy. Drake already knows that the ladies love him so why not lay down the blueprint of the kind of woman he's looking for.
19. "As soon as it's official/ We'll have to let it go, go, go/ So we don't confirm the fling/ Keep avoiding all the questions/ You can teach me many things/ I'm just scared to learn a lesson." ('Little Bit')
Even before finding fame, Drake confidently blurred the lines between hip-hop and R&B on this remix to Swedish artist Lykke Li's track about a secret love. The beat's European influence and carefully placed Auto-Tune turns him from rapper to singer then back again. We're "a little bit in love" with this track.
18. "F— that n—- that you love so bad/ I know you still think about the times we had/ I say f— that n—- that you think you found/ And since you picked up I know he's not around." ('Marvin's Room')
Bad things can happen when you drunk-dial and spill your heart to someone who's clearly over you. This track proves things might not end well. Drake's ingested a little liquid courage to chat up his ex-lover. He may be a hater in his verse, but he's only being the honest rapper we've come to love.
17. "Man they treat me like a legend, am I really this cold?/ I'm really too young to be feeling this old." (Over')
All eyes were on Drake to see if the first single off his debut album, 'Thank Me Later,' would be worth the wait. So he had no choice but to comment on the speculation. The club appeal of 'Over' is undeniable. In this line, he reveals how success has aged him, but it's "far from over."
16. "I love Nicki Minaj, I told her I'd admit it/ I hope one day we get married just to say we f—in' did it/ And girl I'm f—ing serious, I'm with it if you with it/ 'Cause your verses turn me on and your pants are mighty fitted." ('Miss Me')
Deep down, Drake is a hopeless romantic, and his sweet spot is Nicki Minaj. He not only made his love for her known on his first album, 'Thank Me Later,' but also proposed marriage. Sadly, these two will probably stay forever in the friend zone.
15. "Would've came back for you, I just needed time to do what I had to do/ Caught in the life, I can't let it go/ Whether it's right, I will never know/ But here goes nothing."
Drake is no stranger to sacrificing personal relationships for career aspirations, in fact he's been vocal about it, which is showcased here. On this Rick Ross track off 'Teflon Don,' where he goes head-to-head with Chrisette Michele to demonstrate his crooning abilities, the rapper let's his lady know work — mixed with a bit of pleasure — comes first.
14. "N—-s want to be friends, how coincidental/ This was supposed to be ya'll year, we ain't get the memo." ('Moment 4 Life')
Drake can go from humble to cocky in the blink of an eye. He gladly hyped up his success but the true reign of Young Money is on this track. Complemented by Minaj's whimsy on this song from her debut LP, 'Pink Friday', Drizzy moved away from wishing to have a moment to letting the haters know he's here to stay.
13. "It's funny how someone else's success brings pain/ When you're no longer involved, that person has it all/ And you stuck standing there/ But I'm gonna need you to say something baby." ('Say Something')
There's nothing more uncomfortable than witnessing your ex doing well when you're still feel bitter. So what happens when that ex is one of the biggest rappers in the game? Drake took this concept and turned it into an entire song. Even though it's Timbaland's track off 'Shock Value II,' Drizzy took the reigns and the super-producer had no problem letting him run the show.
12. "I mean that thing is poking/ I mean you kinda like that girl that's in the U.S. Open/ I mean I got this hidden agenda that you provoking/ I got bath water that you could soak in." ('In the Morning')
Drake's not the first rapper to reference Serena Williams' "assets," and he won't be the last. Using the famous tennis player's curves as the blueprint to bring this line to life, we get the feeling that the girl he's rapping about has a great figure.
11. "Baby you my everything, you all I ever wanted/ We can do it real big, bigger than you ever done it/ You be up on everything, other h–s ain't never on it/ I want this forever, I swear I could spend whatever on it." ('Best I Ever Had')
Hip-hop and love songs don't always mix but with these romantic lines, Drizzy put himself on the map. Showing affection for his lady-love made the women swoon and the industry sat up and took notice. Drake deftly shows his sensitive side without being too syrupy.
10. "I'm doin' classic s— in all my sessions/ Other n—-'s situations they are all depressin'/ That's why I never follow y'all suggestions." ('Uptown')
The 25-year-old MC takes after his label boss Lil Wayne with these lines. While he couldn't necessarily foresee just how "classic" his future records would be, like Weezy, Drake isn't shy in boasting or expressing his self-confidence. As for the rappers who seem to be failing in his eyes, he doesn't name-drop but touching on the subject proves he's leading and not following the rap pack.
9. "When they want you to be like somebody else and you just want to be yourself/ And you do it and get the feeling it's wrong/ It is when all the press articles happening/ And the cameras get to snappin'." ('Try Harder')
Prior to major labels bidding for him to sign with them, Drake was having trouble keeping his image intact. Here, the rapper reveals how people want him to change his style to fit the mold. It's a good thing he stuck to his guns.
8. "Tell me can we kick it like Ali Shaheed and Phife Dawg/ People really hate when a backpack rapper get rich and start livin' that life dog." ('Show Me a Good Time')
Not everyone would characterize Drake as a "backpack" rapper, but in his mind, he's down with the struggle. Putting himself in the same league as Common, Talib Kweli and the ultimate backpack rapper-turned-mainstream mogul Kanye West, Drizzy exposes everyone who hates on his bank balance.
7. "Yeah, I want it all that's why I strive for it/ Diss me and you'll never hear a reply for it/ Any awards show or party I get fly for it/ I know that it's comin,' I just hope that I'm alive for it." ('Successful')
Before he actually made it, the 25-year-old rap star was just like any other aspiring artist putting out mixtapes, hoping to get put on. Teaming with Trey Songz on this tune, he spits about reaching his goals, but the best thing here is the hunger heard in the lyrics. Everybody just wants to be successful.
6. "Dedicated to my mom and I swear my word is bond/ Everything will be OK and it won't even take that long/ You can see it in my face or even read it on my palm/ Leader of the new school, it's proven and it's known/ I'm sitting in a chair but in the future it's a throne." ('The Calm')
Drake has always been close to his mother, who raised the Young Money signee as a single parent. In past interviews, he credits his mom with inspiring the sensitivity in his lyrics and this track displays them in raw form. Penning this track after a fight with his dear ol' mom, he still wanted to make her proud despite their verbal tiff. We're sure he's made up for any other disagreements since then.
5. "Yes I make mistakes that I don't ever make excuses for/ Like leavin' girls that love me, and constantly seducing h–s/ I'm losing my thoughts, I said damn where my roof just go?/ Top slipped off like Janet at the Super Bowl." ('Money to Blow')
Lil Wayne's right-hand man must have been through some relationship woes because this verse is nothing short of a diary entry. Choosing lust over love is nothing new, but the way Drake throws Janet Jackson's infamous "nip-slip" into the mix on this Birdman joint off 'Priceless' is pretty perfect. Drizzy won't let Miss Jackson live that one down.
4. "And I'll be right here in my spot, with a little more cash than I already got/ Trippin' off you 'cause you had your shot/ With my skin tan and my hair long and my fans who been so patient/ Me and 40 back to work but we still smell like a vacation." ('I'm on One')
Drake is no psychic but predicting that his second album would be just as successful than his first was a pretty safe bet. Teaming with some of the usual suspects, like DJ Khaled — the song appears on his 'We the Best Forever' album — and Lil Wayne, Drizzy addresses his long break between releases and thanks fans for their support.
3. "Please start doin' you, I've been doin' me/ And I'm a staple in my city, you can never ruin me." ('I'm Still Fly')
No matter where he ends up, Toronto will always be home to Drake. There's no argument that he's the biggest rapper to come out of the Canadian city, but he never forgets his roots. He's Toronto's very own — and October's while we're at it — and he's proud to rep his city.
2. "Dropped the mixtape that s— sounded like an album/ Who'da thought a country-wide tour would be the outcome/ Labels want my name besides a X like Malcolm/ Everybody got a deal, I did it without one." ('Forever')
Drake's rise from mixtape rapper to the top of the charts is the stuff that dreams are made of. The 'So Far Gone' mixtape he references on this song — taken from the 'More Than a Game Soundtrack' — not only sounded like an album but got him a Grammy nomination. Not bad for a rookie.
1. "I might be too strung out on compliments, overdosed on confidence/ Started not to give a f— and stop fearing the consequence/ Drinking every night because we drink to my accomplishments." ('Headlines')
Compliments aren't always a good thing. Even though he's used to making headlines, too much too soon can be overwhelming. Like Kanye West before him, he explains on this first offering from his sophomore LP that being at the top can be as addictive as it is lonely.

MA in Italian Language and Literature
MA in Italian Language and Literature
Who are we?
The Italian Program at the University of Pittsburgh, part of the Department of French & Italian, has been teaching Italian here since the 1910s (and continuously since 1946), has granted a BA in Italian since the mid-1960s, and the MA since 1969. Our core faculty cover—both in their research and teaching—the spectrum of Italian Literature and Culture: from Dante to Machiavelli, from the Commedia dell'Arte to the masterpieces of lyric Opera, from the Southern Question to the ventennio nero, just to name a few of our interests. Some of us have the honor and distinction of having been awarded "best book" prizes by the AAIS (American Association of Italian Studies), one of the main professional organizations in our field. As a corps, our commitment to our teaching and to the professional development of our teachers is nowhere more evident than in our rigorous TA training program. Our MA students are fortunate to count among their professors not only the core faculty in Italian but also faculty in affiliated disciplines and with harmonious interests—in our own department and beyond—previous MAs have even used their time in the Italian Program to simultaneously pursue certification in fields such as Cultural Studies, Film Studies, and TESOL.The Italian Program also periodically hosts Pitt's annual Fulbright Distinguished Scholar from Italy, giving students at all levels yet another exciting opportunity for intellectual exchange. Read on for detailed program description and requirements.
Why the MA?
Our MA offers a comprehensive and rigorous introduction to the field and preparation for further study in Italian Literature, Culture, Theater, Film, and Linguistics. Through an intensive two-year period of study, research, and apprenticeship, students wishing to continue their studies are given individualized advising with the goal of identifying PhD programs that best match their goals and interests. This might mean doctoral study at Pitt in related fields like Linguistics or Theater. More often, with a Pitt MA in hand, our students have been impressively successful at securing admission and funding at the best Italian PhD programs in the country—Berkeley, Brown, Duke, Indiana, Illinois, Madison @ Wisconsin, NYU, U of Oregon, U of Texas @ Austin, and Yale, just in the last ten years' worth of graduates. Pitt MA alums have also been successful in obtaining teaching positions in the profession: we are proud to have our graduates occupying faculty positions at Texas @ Austin, Gettysburg College, the University of Alberta, Drexel University, University of California @ Davis, and Ohio State University.
Why Pittsburgh?
Pittsburgh is an exciting city that has reinvented itself over and over again, most recently as a hub of technological entrepreneurship and as a destination residence (attractive for its affordability, green urban spaces, and rich cultural life), all the while staying true to its past by investing in its vibrant urban ethnic neighborhoods and maintaining a commitment to a robust cultural life that is the legacy of storied Pittsburghers like Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, and Thomas Mellon. Over the years, Pitt has emerged as a center of economic activity, drawing talent and resources from around the world and the attention of national and international media: National Geographic; Forbes (article | fact slide); The Economist; The Washington Post; The Huffington Post; The Chicago Tribune. The New Yorker said it best in January of 1989: "If Pittsburgh were situated somewhere in the heart of Europe, tourists would eagerly journey hundreds of miles out of their way to visit it."
Pittsburgh's Italian American community is one of the largest in North America, and we benefit in countless ways from the long-standing presence of organizations like the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Società Dante Alighieri (founded in 1910), the Italian Nationality Room Committee (founded in 1928), the AMerican Italian Cultural Institute or AM.I.C.I. (founded in 1983), and the Heinz History Center's Italian American Collection (founded in 1990); we at Pitt are proud that our vital connections to these institutions are not only part of this community's history but of its dynamic present. Furthermore, UPMC's collaboration with the ISMETT transplant hospital in Palermo, Italy, ensures us of strong current ties to Italy and Italians through medical and staff exchanges, as do the many Italian professionals, artists, restaurateurs, and small business owners who call Pittsburgh home.
What do our students do?
Pitt MAs gain a broad exposure to the field of Italian Literary and Cultural Studies, learning and honing the skills necessary for the intellectual work of the field: analysis, critical reading, clear writing and argumentation, teaching. Most MA students—through our generous teaching assistantships—acquire cutting-edge pedagogical training and two years of teaching experience in stand-alone introductory Italian-language courses. Thanks to our newly expanded Study Abroad offerings they have the opportunity to go abroad as Program Assistants or Teaching Assistants with our exciting new slate of Study Abroad programs in Italy.
Where do our students go?
Of the 26 students that completed the MA in Italian between 2000 and 2010…
- 7 have completed PhDs in related fields; of these, 6 are in academic posts after completing their studies at institutions such as Brown U, CUNY, NYU, U of California @ Berkeley, UPenn, Pitt, and U of Wisconsin @ Madison;
- 10 are currently in PhD programs in related fields, enrolled in programs at NYU, U of California @ Berkeley, Pitt, U of Oregon, U of Texas @ Austin, and Yale U;
- 5 are secondary or post-secondary teachers of Italian;
- In short: of the 26 students that completed the Italian MA between 2000 and 2010, 21, or 80%, continue to be part of the profession, either as post-secondary (TS or PT) faculty, doctoral students, or secondary teachers.
Here are some Italian MA Program Alumni.

Morning Es Trading
Tuesday's Market Review
Three months ago, everyone was focused on Apple (AAPL) as it pushed toward $700. Heck, I doubt it would have surprised anyone if CNBC placed a bug in the lower right hand corner of the screen counting down the points until AAPL was worth a trillion dollars. Fast forward to today, and all anyone in the media wants to discuss is the fiscal cliff and how a failure to reach a bipartisan compromise will send us into a dark and treacherous recession. By the way the folks in the media sound, you would think the Es was closer to 1200 than 1450. But that most certainly is not the case. In fact, the Es is a whopping 2.5% away from the year's high (1468)....694 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Can't say that I ever caught a show or saw him in anything quite honestly, but it is sad that he died at such an early age.
Very sad.
So stunned. Just a month ago I read he had checked into rehab and assumed he was getting better.
What was his addiction?
He gave an interview to Parade magazine, where he said he was addicted to "Anything and everything, as much as possible." I think it was both alcohol and drugs.

Paul Krugman's Delusions About (libertarian) Populism
Paul Krugman just does not see how free markets and prices could appeal to anyone, but particularly and especially to those who are not wealthy. The poor have no interest in an economy which is free he believes. The best the poor (indeed most people who are not as privileged as he is) can hope for are the bits and pieces, the dregs, a socialized economy can "provide." The best bet for the poor is always is in the collective.

STREEP TEASE Honored, Returning With Extended Run, 8/4-25
On the heels of their 'Best of Hollywood Fringe' Award for their sold-out headlining performances at the Outlaugh Comedy Festival/Hollywood Fringe Festival, STREEP TEASE: AN EVENING OF Meryl Streep MONOLOGUES, performed by an all-male cast returns for an extended run Aug. 4-25 at Theatre Asylum, announced by the show's creator & co-Executive Producer Roy Cruz. A celebratory, wicked, yeT Loving satire of scenes from the most unforgettable movies from one of our greatest contemporary actresses, STREEP TEASE is performed by an ensemble cast.
An homage to one of our most popular and enduring actresses, Meryl Streep's prodigious body of film work serves as the inspiration and fascination for STREEP TEASE, an all-male cast's re-interpretationof some of the revered actresses' most iconic scenes. In addition to THE IRON LADY, included are monologues from THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, OUT OF AFRICA, SILKWOOD, THE FRENCH LIEUTENANT'S WOMAN, DOUBT, and THE STILL OF THE NIGHT, among others. Though drawn from the dramatic and comedic 'Canon of Cinema Streep,' all of the scenes evolve into a hilarious, outlandish, kooky and sometimes campy romp through Streep's film repertoire.
Rave reviews across the board from theater critics & theater goers alike have greeted STREEP TEASE since its inception. During its year and a half sold out run at the Bang Improv Theater and a special engagementin New York City at Joe's Pub at The Public Theater, STREEP TEASE has received critical acclaim from the LA Times, the LA Weekly and Daily Variety. Original and outrageously funny to the delight of audiences in LA & NYC ,the show has developed a life of its own. "With the release of Meryl Streep's latest film THE IRON LADY, in which she portrays Britain's former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, we have been given a wealth of new riches, providing fresh new material and inspiration for the show," says Cruz. "Over the last few months, I've been deluged by requests from the show's fans as well as friends and professionals in the industry to keep the show running."
Creator/co-executive producer Roy Cruz, born and raised in the Philippines, is a stand up comedian/actor. Among his recent work in television and film: KEISHA VS. GEISHA, a short film he wrote and produced that screened at the Slamdance Film Festival; and his comedy performance on WISECRACK, a Logo TV show. He has headlined at the Maui Cultural Center, Lake Tahoe Winterfest, Salt Lake City's Comedy 101 and at this year's Outlaugh GLBT Comedy Festival (as well as in '05, '06 & '09). He performs regularly around Los Angeles and itsenvirons. His essay "Janeane's Garofalo's Greasy Hair" was published in the book "Out on The Edge: America's Rebel Comics." His most recent essay "Faye Dunaway Saved The Christmas Pageant" was featured in Salon.com's "Saved by Pop Culture" section.
The show is co-executive produced by Lorenz Esguerra and directed by Ezra Weisz. All performances are at 8:30PM. For more info, please visit www.theatreasylum-la.com

The Oct. 24 article "Japanese government radiation monitoring posts not showing reality: Greenpeace" states, "One monitoring post in a park showed less than one-twelfth the radiation levels seen in nearby areas in the same park."
I would be grateful if you could supply the radiation level figures claimed by the government and by Greenpeace. Without this information the story is meaningless; it is not possible for a reader to judge if the radiation is at a level harmful to health.
The reporter seems happy to accept without question statements made by Greenpeace. I am afraid this article represents very poor cut-and-paste journalism.

Paul King Set For Paddington
From Bunny & The Bull to a bear...
That Peru's furriest import Paddington Bear is headed our way is no surprise. In fact, we've known he was coming since 2007, when Harry Potter producer David Heyman first made the announcement. But things finally appear to be properly moving forward on the film version, with Paul King hired to take care of the bear and call the shots.
Back during the initial talk, Mr Bean's Holiday writer Hamish Nicholl was reported as in charge of script duties. Now, however, it would seem that King will be both writing and directing.
Heyman has struck a deal with StudioCanal to produce the tale, which will introduce him to a wider audience with a blend of live action and CG. In an unusual move, the humans will be CG and the bear will be portrayed by a real, giant grizzly b… All right, it's probably the other way round. Spoilsports.
"Paddington Bear is a universally loved character, treasured for his optimism, his sense of fair play and his perfect manners," Heyman said in a statement picked up by The Hollywood Reporter. "And of course for his unintentional talent for comic chaos."
King, a veteran of The Mighty Boosh and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, last brought us the ace Bunny And The Bull. He's also attached to work on an adaptation of Eva Ibbotson's Island Of The Aunts, but we figure Paddington will take priority. Buy stocks in marmalade now, people; there's about to be a rush to buy it up.

Stocks Nose-Dive Amid Global Fears
Weak Outlook, Government Debt Worries Drive Dow's Biggest Point Drop Since '08
Stocks spiraled downward Thursday as investors buckled under the strain of the global economic slowdown and the failure of policy makers to stabilize financial markets.
The selling began in Europe and continued in the U.S., where stocks plunged from the opening bell. The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted its worst point drop since the financial crisis in December 2008, falling 512.76 points, or 4.31%, to 11383.68. Oil and other commodities were also hammered.
