Maytas Infra led consortium to develop Hyderabad Metro
Delhi, Bombay, Bangalore, Chennai, Kochi and now Hyderabad. Its a metro boom all over India. Finally the infrastructre boom has started and the ones who persisted and got into the deals could reap a good harvest over the next few decades. Of course, land acquisition would be a major hurdle, with political parties eager to jump on to the bandwagon when a few properties would be demolished.
But we cant discount the fact that more than US$200 billion worth of infrastructure projects are going on in India at this time and its only going to increase. Maybe 4-5 years down the line, we would have a better infrastructure and wouldnt be so surprised when we go overseas and see their metros, road and rail network.
The Andhra Pradesh government has formally issued the 'letter of award' in favour of Maytas Infra-led consortium for undertaking the development of Hyderabad Metro Rail Project on design, build, finance, operate and transfer basis.
The consortium, Navabharat Ventures Limited, Maytas Infra Limited, Ital Thai Development Public Company Limited and Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services Limited ('NMII Consortium'), will take up the metro project estimated to cost Rs 12,000 crore (approx US$ 3 billion) in Hyderabad.
The project has three lines totaling 71km, which include
Miyapur to LB Nagar – 30 Kms
Jubilee Bus Station to Falaknuma – 15 Kms
Nagole to Shilparamam – 26 Kms

don't count Kochi yet … it should go through minimum 10 Harthals, 50 strikes, 100 dharnas etc etc before actually starting the project
Someone tell them the Punjab ka raasta too.
You can add Ahmedabad,Pune to that list of Metro-cities and Lucknow-Kanpur,Navi Mumbai are also just about getting there.
@Dinu, oh yeah man, i forgot about our unions and hartals 😉
@Manpreet, i have talked to Reddy saab, will ask them to take the next bus to Punjab.
@Rohit, thanks for the update. Looking forward to a single integrated system sometime in the future.

Proposition 25: Are California Democrats Setting Themselves Up For Failure By Pushing To End 2/3 Budget-Vote Threshold?
By Hillel Aron
Proposition 25 would allow the California state legislature in Sacramento to pass the budget with a simple majority vote, as opposed to the 2/3 supermajority they now need.
It would also withhold the legislators' deluxe pay every day after the June 15 deadline that they don't pass the budget -- and that delicious punishment is probably the main reason polls show voters might just approve this oddball measure.
At first, Prop. 25 sounded like just the thing to make the screwed-up state of California marginally governable. Well... not exactly.

Proposition 25 does not change the law set in place by Proposition 13 in 1978: any state or local tax hike in California must still be approved by a 2/3 vote of the legislature.
So Democrats can pass a budget without any Republican votes, but still can't raise taxes without them.
"It's odd that Democrats would want to do this," says Dan Walters, dean of Sacramento columnists, who writes for the Sacramento Bee. "It would make them fully responsible for the budget, fully responsible for cutting spending."
The thing is, the 120-member California legislature spends more than the state takes in through taxes, fees and other sources.
Right now, the legislature is allowing vast overspending, each day. And it's been doing this since 2008.
It's already known that the next budget deficit will be around $12 billion. And that's nothing compared to the deficit in 2011, which will be more than $20 million, barring some economic miracle.
So Prop. 25 will make it easy for Democrats to vote to cut or raise spending with a simple majority.
But they won't have the authority to tax people, because they'll still need the 2/3 vote for that.
The weird thing is that Prop. 25 appears to take away the Democrats' favorite scapegoat -- the one they use when they place blame for really late budgets or unbalanced budgets -- the Republicans.
The majority Democrats have controlled the California state legislature nearly every year since 1958, back when the U.S. Supreme Court was ordering Little Rock Arkansas to integrate black and white children in the schools and Eisenhower was the prez.
That's how long the Democrats have held the majority in Sacramento.
So now, with a simple majority needed to pass the budget, the Dems will have no one but themselves to blame if the budget is late or riddled with shortfalls or ugly cuts.
Yet who supports Proposition 25?
Unions. Powerful teachers unions who push the legislature around, like the CTA. And wealthy labor unions like SEIU, AFL-CIO, AFSCME. All the same acronyms that control the Democratic Party in California.
So what are they thinking?
Some opponents of Prop. 25 say the measure will be the Democrats' chance to raise all sorts of fees, which are not taxes.
But Walters suggests that, maybe, Democrats think that a simple majority vote in Sacramento will put California voters into a psychological mindset in which a majority vote begins to seem normal for approving things -- like new taxes.
It may be a long-term scheme to convince Californians to roll back Proposition 13, but in a uniquely Sacramento, passive-aggressive way.
But come on. Isn't Prop. 25 a step in the right direction in getting a budget done?
"It may be a step in the right direction in the long term," says Walters, "It does no harm. But it doesn't provide a mechanism to balance the budget."
During his decades covering the legislature, he's seen a lot of screw-ups by those in power.
This time, Walters thinks, "The Democrats are setting themselves up for failure."

The present invention relates to a device for the storage and dispensing of osteosynthetic fixation elements, and in particular to a device for attaching fixation elements to bone.
In the surgical treatment of fractures in the maxillofacial area, as well as fractures of the foot and hand, a trend toward preferring ever-smaller implants can clearly be noted. The reason for this is the generally increased understanding of the biomechanical bases of osteosynthesis. In the field of treating maxillofacial fractures, more attention can be paid to the cosmetic results of osteosynthesis, thanks to the miniaturization of implants. In the field of hand surgery, restrictions on movement in the area of the fingers can be avoided. In this regard, smaller osteosynthetic implants in the fingers can be placed under the tendons. In the case of an implant with a large cross-section, the tendons need no longer be extended to their full length.
The dimensions of some smaller implants (screws, plates and tacks) are in the range of about 0.8 mm to about 2.0 mm. Problems in the area of packaging, storage and manipulation during surgery arise due to this miniaturization. Handling in the operating room, particularly in the maxillofacial area, has proved difficult. Depending on the degree of severity of the fracture or correction, up to 40 bone fixation elements, such as tacks or screws, may be required. These screws must be taken individually by the operating room nurse from a so-called screw rack, checked for length, placed on a screwdriver and given to the surgeon. The surgeon must, in turn, insert them through the osteosynthesis plate into pre-drilled screw holes. During the transfer of the screw and the attempted insertion of the screw, it often falls off the screwdriver, into the wound or onto the operating room floor. The attempt to find a lost screw is often excessively time-consuming, given their dimensions and extends the time spent in surgery. The frequent loss of screws in the operating room, and during packing and sterilization, causes unnecessary costs for the hospital.
An additional problem in dealing with mini-screws arises during their implantation. After the surgeon has selected the osteosynthesis plate proper for the fracture in question, a plate is positioned over the fracture. A hole is then drilled for the screw (0.5–1.5 mm diameter) through one of the plate holes. After drilling, the screw is received from an operating room nurse and screwed into the bone through the plate. Commonly problems arise in finding the core drill hole in the bone, since the bone surface is covered with blood or soft tissue and the plate can slip on the smooth bone surface.
The present invention relates to a device for attaching fixation elements to bone, including a longitudinal member extending along a longitudinal axis from a proximal end to a distal end and having a channel extending therein adapted for receiving at least one fixation element. A shaft extends within the channel and is positioned coaxially within at least a portion of the longitudinal member and at least a portion of the shaft is retained within the longitudinal member and a distal end configured and adapted to contact at least a portion of the fixation element received within the longitudinal member. The longitudinal member is moveable with respect to the shaft to drive the fixation element into bone.
In one embodiment, the longitudinal member can include a first member for receiving at least one fixation element at the distal end and a second member attached coaxially to the first member, and the first member is movable with respect to the second member. A spring can be housed within the channel to engage the first member for resiliently biasing the first member in the axial direction. In one preferred embodiment, the first and second members are substantially cylindrical and the first member is movable telescopingly within the second member. The first and second members can be interlocked in the axial direction. The shaft is substantially cylindrical and can have at least two portions with different diameters. The distal end of the longitudinal member includes a pronged tip for resiliently holding a fixation element therein.
Another device for attaching fixation elements to bone according to the present invention comprises a longitudinal member having a channel extending therein and a plurality of spacers positionable within the channel. Each spacer has a tip portion at a distal end configured and dimensioned for holding a fixation element. In one embodiment, the spacer has a cavity at a proximal end configured and dimensioned for receiving a tip portion of an adjacent spacer. The spacer can have a frustoconical portion. The fixation element is held to the tip portion by a friction fit and the spacer has a shoulder at a base of the tip portion configured for contacting a proximal end of an adjacent spacer when such spacers are in abutting relationship. In one preferred embodiment, the spacers are stackable such that a plurality of spacers are positionable in abutting relationship and the spacers can be axially alignable within the channel.
In another embodiment, the device includes a shaft located centrally with respect to the channel for moving the spacers axially with respect to the shaft. The shaft can include a frustoconical tip at a distal end and the tip can be received in the proximal end of the spacer. In one embodiment, a tab extends radially outward from the shaft and is configured to be movable by a human finger to move the shaft with respect to the longitudinal member. A spring engages a slot in the longitudinal member for locating the shaft at a plurality of preselected locations with respect to the longitudinal member.
In one embodiment, the channel has a front opening at the distal end of the longitudinal member and the spacers can travel through the opening. The channel can also include a back opening at the proximal end of the longitudinal member and the spacer can travel through the back opening. A handle is connected to the proximal end of the longitudinal member.
The present invention is also directed to a device for holding a fixation element, including a holding portion configured to hold the fixation element, and a receiving portion connected to the holding portion and configured to receive an adjacent fixation element holder and fixation element. The holding portion is configured to releasably hold the fixation element and the receiving portion can include a body having a cavity therein. The holding portion has an exterior contour and the interior cavity has an internal contour, and the interior contour is configured and dimensioned to conform to the exterior contour.

A central channel 70 extends within handle 52 and through extension 54. A shaft member 72 is housed within central channel 70 and extends generally the entire length of channel 70 within extension 54 and is preferably fixedly attached to handle 52. Shaft 72 is generally cylindrical and includes a base portion 74 that engages the interior of channel 70 within handle 52 preferably by press fit, a mid-section 76 having a smaller diameter than base portion 74, and a tip portion 78 having a smaller diameter than mid-section 76. A first shoulder 80 is positioned at the transition of base portion 74 and mid-section 76. Spring 60 is housed within spring cover 58 and extends around mid-section 76 and is compressible between first shoulder 80 and the proximal end of sleeve 62, biasing sleeve 62 axially in the distal direction.
The method of operation or use of device 50 is similar to the method described above with respect to device 10. The insertion device 50 is placed adjacent an insertion location with a pre-drilled hole in bone and the fixation element or tack is driven into the bone tissue by applying axial force in the distal direction to handle 52, moving sleeve 62 in the proximal direction. When sleeve 62 is moved in the proximal direction, spring 60 biases sleeve 62 in the distal direction and shaft 72 is moved in the distal direction due to the force applied on the handle. Thus, when sleeve 62 is moved further in the proximal direction, such as by applying axial force in the distal direction during fixation element insertion, sleeve 62 is retracted within cover 58 and shaft 72 is forced in the distal direction through the distal end of sleeve 62. Tip portion 78 of shaft 72 engages the proximal end of a fixation element and separates the fixation element from pronged tip 68 and drives the fixation element into bone. In this way, the fixation element is automatically disengaged from distal end 56 of device 50 and there is no need to manually slide holding sleeve 58 or rock the insertion device to disengage the fixation element. After the fixation element has been inserted completely, insertion device 50 can be removed from the insertion location and sleeve 62 will spring back to its original starting position, shown in

In the preferred embodiment, the tacks are attached to carriers or spacers 102 and are aligned coaxially within the central channel 92 of device 90. In a preferred embodiment, spacer 102 is hollow and has an exterior contour and an interior contour, and the interior contour is generally configured and dimensioned to conform to the exterior contour so that a plurality of spacers are easily stacked. As best seen in
The spacers 102 are individually moveable within channel 92. For example, spacers 102 are advanced in the distal direction when an additional spacer is introduced into the proximal end of channel 92. When a spacer is inserted into the proximal end of channel 92, shoulder 114 of the spacer being inserted contacts the proximal end 104 of the most proximal spacer in channel 92 and pushes or forces all of the spacers in the channel in the axial direction toward distal end 100 of device 90. The most distal spacer extends from distal end 100 of driver 90 and the shaft of tack 94 extends beyond socket 108 of spacer 102 in a position ready to be inserted into bone. In the preferred embodiment, an elastic ring 120 is positioned on the interior of channel 92 adjacent the proximal end for engaging slot 118 to prevent movement of the spacers in the proximal direction. Ring 120 extends radially inward into channel 92 and engages slot 118 of the most proximal spacer, and when channel 92 is full of spacers, the spacers do not move in the proximal direction.
In operation of insertion device 90, a tack is inserted in the bone tissue by means of an axial force exerted on the proximal end of the device, much the same as for device 10 of
Referring to
In operation of insertion device 130, the distal end of piston 142 interfaces engages the proximal end of the last or proximal most spacer aligned within channel 138 to force the spacer in the distal direction and advance all of the aligned spacers in the channel. In a preferred embodiment, piston 142 exterior substantially corresponds to the interior of the mid-section and back portion of spacer 152. For example, piston 142 is preferably generally cylindrical with a tapered portion 154 at the distal end and tapered portion 154 is angled to generally correspond to the interior of mid-section portion of spacer 152.
While it is apparent that the illustrative embodiments of the invention herein disclosed fulfill the objectives stated above, it will be appreciated that numerous modifications and other embodiments may be devised by those skilled in the art. Therefore, it will be understood that the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications and embodiments which come within the spirit and scope of the present invention.

Maree's Blog / Top Notes Hit At Musick Point
It's pretty much the end of the Wedding season and what a pleasure it was to finish with Melanie and Lloyds. It was also nice that it was in my local area and I didn't have to drive as far as I've had to for most of my other bookings this season. It also meant that they were able to have their ceremony at Musick Point where they spend a lot of time and where most of their portrait photos were taken.
We also took photos as the sun was setting at Cockle Bay a significant spot for them as well. Without their knowledge their friends had hung a string of love heart images under their favourite Pohutukawa Tree (as you'll see in the photos.)
Don't you just love the photo of Melanie making her point of how boring she finds bowls, Lloyds favourite past time? It was one of those Weddings while small and intimate had a lot of their friends adding special touches to their day. Wishing you both every happiness in your lives together.

W hen there is hell to pay, Mitul Pandey is part of the team that pays it. On the graveyard shift here at Wipro, one of India's larger customer-service outsourcing firms,Ms. Pandey, 22 years old, is a specialist on the escalation team. The group deals with the angriest customers of a U.S. computer maker when their problems remain unresolved after many phone calls.
Night-shift employees, like those at this Wipro customer-service center, are in high demand.
On her computer screen, she reviews the log of an exchange with a frequent caller from Mt. Pleasant, Pa., whose memory-card reader is still broken: "I wish to not have anyone from India or any foreign country or anyone with an Indian accent or foreign accent continue handling my case," he told her. Calling him back is tougher than, say, coping with the woman who, instructed by her computer to "press any key to continue," was upset that her keyboard didn't have an "any" key. Because Ms. Pandey doesn't have an American accent, he rebuffs her help. When she and her manager later call him back, they only reach his answering machine and leave a message offering to conference in an American specialist.
Even though Ms. Pandey sees few daylight hours, and many people beyond the end of their rope, she can still say cheerfully: "I feel like coming to the office every day."
Inside India's booming outsourcing industry, which is helping the economy grow 9% this year, the cubicle farms are not distinguishable from their U.S. counterparts. Phalanxes of four-foot-wide cubicles at the call centers are adorned with wedding announcements, Peter Drucker quotes and someone's New Year resolutions. People gossip about getting the newest model cellphone, gauge the time remaining on their shift and prattle on about Brangelina.
The biggest difference: It's an employee's market. Here, outsourcing employees have leverage not seen in the U.S. since the dot-com boom. Only in India, the boom isn't built on prayers but on the alluring facts of labor arbitrage—employees get paid a fraction of their U.S. counterparts, yet it's still a decent wage. Staffers also get heavily subsidized food, tuition assistance, free transportation and often plenty of competing job offers.
They also work in hierarchies arguably flatter than in the U.S. To email a company chairman or to go over the head of your manager isn't perilous here; it's welcomed. Managers can get in trouble just for using a bad tone of voice, they say. Indian companies also have suggestion boxes, which aren't stuffed with coffee stirrers—and someone knows where to find the key.
"We don't believe in formality," says Aniruddha Ganguly, associate chief operating officer at Wipro BPO. "We don't believe in hierarchy and we don't believe in protocol."
Outsourcing executives here say more than half of their job is making employees happy. That would sound hollow if the attrition rate in the outsourcing industry hadn't once peaked at a brutal 50%. "It's a constant worry," says Suranjan Banerjee, Ms. Pandey's manager. Today, four of his employees told him they had offers from rivals. "It's a really bad day for me," he says. (He ended up saving three of the four, not with money but by reminding them of opportunities there.)
There are plenty of legitimate reasons to leave: boredom, long working hours, the physical toll and isolation from their social circles that live on local India time zones. A three-year tenure working phones confers veteran status. Though most who work in the industry love the stability of income and the opportunity for advancement, some will leave because of burnout, to pursue other jobs or to continue their education.
The rise of outsourcing in India has meant the emergence of a powerful consumer class of twentysomethings who often live a fast-and-loose life of partying. Gurgaon, a suburb of New Delhi and an outsourcing hub, has erupted with marble and glass towers as improbable as Las Vegas—and as busy throughout the night. Roughly a dozen malls have sprouted to capture spending money. Fleets of white jeeps wait outside buildings to shuttle employees home and back, their radios blaring: "New Delhi's hottest hit music is on Fever 104."
In an atmosphere like this, employees can afford to be picky. "There are people who will leave a company because they don't like the food," says Manu Tandon, a senior marketing manager at outsourcing firm Equinox.
Many view outsourcing work as a well-paying summer job. But in a global economy, many outsourcing employees also see the exposure to overseas business as an important elective in their education. It's a notion Indian executives like to enforce, creating classrooms and training sessions as academic as any on an American campus. So when new hires—called "freshers"—join Wipro, they sit in an accent training class, reviewing vowel sounds to standardize their regional accents.
In an American-culture training class at Wipro, students identify Indian stereotypes (superstitious, religious, helpful) and American stereotypes (not so knowledgeable about computers, sports-loving, punctual). The point is to identify shallow images as barriers to good communications so they can be overcome.
To smooth over communications gaps, many adopt western names. Tushar is Travis. Sameer is Smith. Utkarsh Vardhan, Ms. Pandey's cube neighbor at Wipro, says employees are supposed to use their real names. "But I tried it," explains Mr. Vardhan, and customers called him "Whatever your name is."
Says Mr. Vardhan: "My accent trainer suggested 'Philip.'"
While most calls sent overseas to India are innocuous information exchanges, there's only so much that can prepare someone for the hair-pulling frustration that confronts Wipro's escalation desk, where frustrated callers end up when demanding to talk to a supervisor. Only employees with a proven track record of patience get promoted to the desk.
To prepare for that assignment, they role-play angry callers. Much is scripted, like leaving a follow-up voicemail to see if a technician's visit resolved a problem. But agents aren't trained to respond to rage with anything specific. Listen and solve the problem, they say, and the customer will mellow. Amid entreaties to reboot, one can hear the language of sympathy: "I know how you feel."
But only experience can prepare employees for consumer rage, managers say. Before Wipro's Mr. Banerjee managed the escalation team, he was an agent. One of his first calls involved an American who ran over his briefcase with his car. His pen survived but his laptop didn't. The man said he'd write a letter of commendation to the pen manufacturer but would write to newspapers to complain about the computer maker, where he had friends in high places, Mr. Banerjee recalls. "Nothing trains you for that," he says. No matter how unreasonable, he adds, "You have to be empathetic."
Another reason outsourcing executives pat employees on the back is because customers usually don't. Given the fragility of computers and their inevitable technical failures, one can understand why. Just 30 notes of appreciation came out of 2,400 calls in a two-month period. Tushar Bhatt, a 26-year-old agent, says with a smile that he has never received a call from any customer out of the blue saying, "My computer is working very well."
Nor does anyone expect to. Most have genuine empathy for their callers. "If the same thing happened to me," says escalation team leader Lalit Chaudhary, "I'd be extremely angry."
Mahi Sudan, who handles mortgage accounts at outsourcing firm EXL Service, knows that by the end of the month she'll be drained because of payment deadlines. But she also can never predict when a heart-wrenching story will arise. Yesterday, she got a call from an unemployed elderly woman who has cancer and couldn't pay. "She was literally crying," Ms. Sudan recalls. She gave the woman a toll-free number of charities that might be able to assist her. "You have to take care of your parents," she says by way of explanation.
Parents of call-center workers don't like the overnight, nightclub-crazy culture. But some say their parents don't complain as much as they did at first and they appreciate the steady work and income, not to mention gifts from their children.
"We don't have enough other options," says Sharad Bharti, an agent at Equinox. "Until we get married, this is the time to enjoy." (Chin up; marriage isn't so bad.)
At 35 years old, Deepa Trivedi, who does more high-level outsourcing work at Tata Consultancy Services, has thought about buying a home for the first time, despite inhospitable property values. Her favorite benefit: After she joined Tata, Ms. Trivedi found out that employees had an annual medical budget of more than $11,000. That includes her parents. So her mother had knee-replacement surgery, delayed for years due to the expense, without upfront cash or bureaucratic torment.
At Wipro, it's 5:52 a.m. and Ms. Pandey's cube-neighbor, Mr. Vardhan, a.k.a. Philip, listens to an elderly lady from Chesapeake, Va., explain for the umpteenth time how a technician failed to fix her computer problem.
Even though the machine is beyond its warranty, he offers her a new part. But company rules prevent him from dispatching a technician to install it after the warranty has expired. The caller wants escalation again, so he opens an instant-message window to enlist the help of an American technician whom he conferences onto the call. Although the Indian employees can dispatch technicians, parts, and even new PCs, they have American counterparts to whom they turn to in the prickliest of cases.
While Phillip's working the case, a crowd of colleagues drape over Ms. Pandey's cubicle for a small ceremony to congratulate her for a job well done. Company auditors had monitored one of her calls and liked what they heard. "She took ownership on the call and assured the customer she would follow up with him till the issue was resolved," reads a certificate, given to her with a bar of chocolate.
Mr. Vardhan is still on the conference call with the lady from Virginia and the U.S. customer-service agent. They have conceded to free installation of her free parts and free shipping. Says Mr. Vardhan: "She seems to be calming down now."

God my head is full. And I've no where else to let loose. So herein lies the reason for the blog. Get that shit out.
So much is boggling my mind up. The clutter of thoughts. The not knowing how to deal with the ups and the downs of this "new" chapter of my life. Of my family's life. Kids getting older. Growing up. Heading out.
The possibility of just getting a few things written down to "just say it" so to speak can really do wonders, I think. The catharsis of just saying what I am thinking would be like free therapy. And god knows I'd rather spend the money elsewhere.
To set the scene. B and I have never been better. 25 years will be our celebration in a month. We've rode every possible roller coaster that marriage presents. But right here right now, we are riding up the steep hill and it's damn exciting. H – well, H is probably why I need to write. She left the nest. But holy hell did she do it all at once. College. Boyfriend/"The One". Independent as could be. And I am a wreck over it. C – is finding his way. His own way. Can't say that is a surprise because he has ALWAYS done that. But changing things up in his life to suit him and not me, took getting used to. That'll be quite the journey here too. And G is just G – which as far I can tell at this point in time, is exactly how I imagined. His own little person. In every way shape and form. That'll change I am sure of it.
Tomorrow will bring more words. More thoughts. Just more. I'm ready to unload.

Low refinance rates sure make borrowing seem like a piece of cake. Accordingly, you will be advised to opt for the right refinance loan with the right mortgage refinance rate. Home loan refinance rate, which is bargained hard to get at the desirable rate, is the most important factor for a borrower. A quicker repayment helps to unburden the borrower from the loans. The form will ask for the financial details of the borrower.
-Cash-Out refinance rates: This option will not offer you an opportunity to decrease the monthly payment with an attractive rate. #1 Loan Refinance provides home loan refinance financial marketplace which connects consumers with multiple Refinance Loan Rates. If your interest rate is high, chances are you're struggling every month to pay off debt.
There are two types of refinance, which resolve the value of your refinance rate -. Luckily for your, homeowners who understand how mortgage brokers make their money can avoid paying this ridiculous markup of their mortgage interest rates. Home refinance in other terms can be called refunding on the same property. Securing a loan to pay off your previous loan against the same assets, property etc is called refinancing. Some borrowers would often obtain a home loan refinance rate to change the variable rates of interest to a fixed one.
You must remember to add with it the other expenditures like, new loan application fees, points cash down, title search, local fees, appraisal fee, attorney's fees, credit check, inspection charges, documents preparation charges and credit checks. If you intend to stay in your home for more than 10 years it is advisable to refinance your mortgage with a fixed rate mortgage rate. -Fixed refinance rates: In this case the interest rate does not change with time. The Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates since mid-2004 several times and it is expected to keep raising rates in the near future.
The upfront payment is considered to be a particular percentage of the complete loan amount. Depending on the type of refinancing loan you want and how you plan to use it, you can save yourself a lot of money. When you apply to refinance a mortgage rate online, do so through several lenders over the span of a few days. Most people, though, refinance to consolidate their debts or to make improvements to their home. To get your FREE Mortgage Refinancing Video Toolkit, visit RefiAdvisor.com using the link below.
The mortgage rate is not the only factor to consider. At this time, you can choose to sell and the improvements mean you will get a higher price for your home. A thorough checking of all the credit details will ensure the borrower of a grant of home loan refinance.
Refinance when you find the current market rates are low. Such as, considering how much monthly payment you can afford, whether a result of a tight budget or an expensive home is a warning flag that you might be looking at the wrong house but not the wrong loan. The Internet nowadays has made it quite easy and hassle free to search and apply for a home loan refinance.
When you refinance, the mortgage rate is less than what you paid for your original mortgage. It is generally undertaken when the interest rates on the new loan are lower than that charged on the previous one. You must always try to get the quotes from as many home lenders as possible. This pushes the refinance rates to descend and brightens the prospect for the lowest refinance rates. Every home lender will suggest a different refinance package, and each one has its advantages and disadvantage, depending on your situation and current financial needs.

Ten Reasons Fort Lauderdale Beach Is the Best Beach in Broward
Throughout the summer, "Best Beaches" has highlighted the best beach spots Broward has to offer. Our final pick? Fort Lauderdale Beach.
We certainly saved the best for last in our search for the best beach in Broward County. We must say that we've enjoyed our stroll through some of the quieter, less-populated beaches Broward has to offer. It's been a legitimately tough choice deciding on our favorite beach, but in the end, our search for the undisputed heavyweight champion of beaches in Broward has ended with Fort Lauderdale's hand being raised in the air.
10. The classic beach views.
If there is one thing that sets Fort Lauderdale above the rest of the beaches in Broward, it's the scenery. There just isn't a beach that rivals the sort of classic picturesque views you get on a drive down Ocean Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale. Fort Lauderdale is the beach you bring people if you want to impress them. It's the most beautiful beach of the bunch, with the others lagging far behind.
9. The clean shores.
Not every beach we went to on our quest to find the best beach in Broward was in the best condition, but Fort Lauderdale beach is consistently clean every time we visit. Maybe it's because Fort Lauderdale is a big city with a bigger budget for beach cleanup, but it's noticeable just how much cleaner the water, beach, and sidewalks are compared to others in the area.

7. The crowds.
In past Best Beach posts, we've lauded the sort of relaxed crowds you find at some Broward beaches. Fort Lauderdale is very different from those places. If it's chill crowds you're looking for, Fort Lauderdale beach is not your cup of tea. What makes the crowds at Fort Lauderdale a positive feature, though, is they make for
6. Staycation feels.
It can't be said enough: We live in an area of the United States that is considered a vacation destination. That means every time we step outside our doors, we are basically on someone else's vacation. A family of four in Idaho might be saving all year just to go to Fort Lauderdale Beach a few times, but we can have the pleasure of going there for three bucks of gas. It's something we shouldn't take for granted.

All Quiet on the Western Front
Yes, I'm still unreasonably quiet. That is really the compilation of many factors, not the least which has been a busy work schedule and lack of sleep from a teething little screamer.
But three more days. Just three.
And then [HOPEFULLY] I will [legally] be the mother of 4. Crazy.
We are feeling positive at this time. We have some flights reserved. No firm accommodations plans. But lots of discussion, rate-checking, etc. Assuming a successful court date, we'll have an embassy date in mid-January. So, we are planing on that. Which means we'd be leaving in less than a month - yikes and yay! Still so much to do!
Please keep your fingers crossed that Friday is successful. I have never wanted anything more for Christmas...
Oh, and I couldn't resist the "lawyer humor" =)

Only 27% of U.S. 12th Graders are Proficient in Civics
There was an interesting piece by Tom Womack featured in last week's edition of Arkansas Business. Womack, the brand new president of the Arkansas Bar Association, focused on the lack of civics education in America's public schools today.
He offered this shocking quote from former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor:
Today, at least half of the states don't even require high school students to take civics; only three states require it in middle school.
Also mentioned in the piece: the National Center for Education Statistics recently found that only 27 percent of high school seniors were proficient in government and civics.
Womack continued, stressing the importance of educational reforms in order to preserve our nation's fabric.
America's future as a democracy depends on our understanding of constitutional self-government, the independence of our legal institutions and our commitment to justice.
The article concludes by listing some initiatives that the Bar Association is undertaking, including the publication of "18 and Life to Go: A Legal Handbook for Young Arkansans" with the goal of providing every Arkansas high school senior a copy. They have also implemented a statewide mock trial competition & working to put lawyers in classrooms, educating students about good government & the role of the judiciary.
Interestingly, Arkansas law does require civics education, which apparently makes us fairly unique:
Code Ark. R. 005 19 007: Standards for Accreditation of Arkansas Public Schools: Grades K-8 curriculum must include civic education. Accredited high schools must teach 1 unit of civics or civics/government every year. One-half credit civics or government required for graduation.

The most recent in a series of arrests stemming from an initial confrontation with police over a year ago, when the then-16-year-old ended up with an aggravated unlawful use of a weapon charge. Since then, though, he's become famous, and moderately wealthy (enough to buy a house, anyway), and his arrests have been on relatively minor charges: Marijuana in Georgia, speeding in suburban Chicago. The reaction across the web has been a mix of jokes about the predictability of seeing Keef in handcuffs, and stern moralizing about his being on the wrong path. Meanwhile, the circumstances of his arrest—Chicago police traveling miles to the rapper's speeding ticket hearing in Skokie, Illinois, to arrest him, reportedly with guns drawn, for a misdemeanor trespassing offense—don't spark much concern at all.
Instead, the controversy focuses on the artist's moral fiber. Not to excuse any of Keef's behavior, which is surely not helping him out in the eyes of the law. (Did his lawyer really okay random drug tests as a part of his probation for the speeding charge?) but it seems like the "predictability" of him being arrested has more to do with flaws in the country's justice system than with his recent behavior, which, while not anything that should be encouraged, isn't really all that different from anything that millions of teenagers are doing across the country every day.
The difference, of course, is where Keef is from and who he is. There is an entire strata of our society that is allowed to essentially graduate from school and transition directly into the prison system. It doesn't matter that he's no longer on a corner dealing drugs; he can still get dinged on probation violations like trespassing misdemeanors and smoking weed. Shit that friends of mine all got into when they were in high school.
The difference is twofold: One, there's always the possibility that police are targeting him specifically (certainly travelling up to Skokie to arrest him on a minor charge gives this impression) because of how much attention he's drawn to the system's complete failure to deal with violence in the city. But the second part is more important, because this isn't about Keef, really. Whether or not you fuck with his music, this should be drawing all kinds of attention to our overcrowded prisons, full of kids from places like Woodlawn, who never have a chance to get out from under the first crime they commit. —David Drake

Inspired by the melted crayon art, I created this splatter paint project so I could talk to my Kindergarteners about the weather in the spring, "April showers bring May flowers!" They LOOOVED getting messy with the splatter paint. And the kids who don't consider themselves artists loved that they didn't have to touch their brush to their paper! Lots of fun!

B. Wurtz
Curated by Nic Tammens
March 26 - April 4, 2015
B.Wurtz works from a basement studio in his home on Manhattan's Lower East Side.
This local fact is attested to by the plastic shopping bags and newsprint circulars that appear in his work. As formal objects, they don't make loud claims about their origins but nonetheless transmit street addresses and places of business from the bottom of this long thin island. Like plenty of artists, Wurtz is affected by what is local and what is consumed. His work is underpinned by this ethic. It often speaks from a neighborhood or reads like the contents of a hamper:
"BLACK PLUMS $1.29 lb."
"Food Bazaar"
"USDA Whole Pork Shoulder Picnic 99c lb."
"RITE AID Pharmacy, with us it's personal."
"H. Brickman & Sons."
"Sweet Yams 59c lb."
Most of the work in this exhibition was made while the artist was in residence at Dieu Donne, a workshop dedicated to paper craft in Midtown. Here Wurtz fabricated assemblages with paper and objects that are relatively lightweight, with the intention that they would be easily transportable to Australia. This consideration isn't absolute in Wurtz's work, but was prescriptive for making the current exhibition light and cheap. Packed in two boxes, these works were sent from a USPS post office on the Lower East Side and delivered to North Melbourne by Australia Post.
Wurtz appears courtesy of Metro Pictures, New York.

Press Release:
"...It contained seven objects. The slender fluted bone, surely formed for flight, surely from the wing of some large bird. Three archaic circuitboards, faced with mazes of gold. A smooth white sphere of baked clay. An age-blackened fragment of lace. A fingerlength segment of what she assumed was bone from a human wrist, grayish white, inset smoothly with the silicon shaft of a small instrument that must once have ridden flush with the surface of the skin - but the thing's face was seared and blackened."

The museum is constantly a target for criticism, whether it comes from artists, thinkers, curators, or even the public. From the avant-gardes of the twentieth century up until our contemporary era, the museum's suspect position has generated countless gestures, iconoclastic actions, scathing attacks, utopias, and alternative exhibition spaces. For the first time, this anthology is devoted to the anti-museum, through anti-art, the anti-artist, anti-exhibition, as well as anti-architecture, anti-philosophy, anti-religion, anti-cinema and anti-music. This notion - unpatented but regularly reappropriated - traces the erratic, fractured, and sometimes paradoxical counter-history of the contestation of artistic institutions. From the first anti-exhibition to the first catalog retracing the history of "Closed Exhibitions," from Dada to Noise music, from "Everything is Art" to NO!art, the Japanese avant-gardes to Lettrist cinema, and not forgetting such major protest figures as Gustav Metzger, Henry Flynt, Graciela Carnevale, and Lydia Lunch, The Anti-Museum sketches a polyphonic panorama where negation is accompanied by a powerful breath of life.

First printing of one of the heaviest hitters of Interior Design books, the enormous, lavishly illustrated "Decoration : Tradition et Renouveau" (Collection Connaissance des Arts) published in 1973 is without a doubt one of the most collectable of 1970's design books.
This huge, prestigious, cloth-bound volume travels through some of the world's most incredible domestic interiors of the period, including those of major architects, interior designers, fashion designers, art and antiquities collectors, and more, showcasing objets d'art, historical artifacts and furniture (from Pablo Picasso, Mies van der Rohe, Lucio Fontana, Nicola L, Cesar, Jean Dubuffet, Arman, Gae Aulenti, Marcel Breuer, Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Enzo Mari, Pierre Paulin, Afra + Tobia Scarpa, Charles Eames, Joe Columbo, Verner Panton, Bruno Munari Afra Scarpa, Mario Bellini, Tom Wesselman, Sonia Delaunay, Man Ray) adorning decorated interiors ranging from "Tradition" ("a formula that allows one to integrate older items, furniture and artwork in a contemporary context"); "le Renouveau" (contemporary interiors of the 1970's and "a section dedicated to design of the time offering a selection of the finest furniture, objects and accessories created by top designers"); and "l'Avant-garde" (displaying some of the most experimental, idiosyncratic, and forward-thinking interiors that bring together modern materiality, pop art and space design to create inspired interior living architectural spaces).
"How to reconcile antique furniture and contemporary structures? Can we adapt modern furniture within a traditionally inspired framework? This book, illustrated with beautiful photographs, mostly in color, reproducing the finest achievements of the great contemporary designers, responds to these questions."
All texts in French.
A must-have for the interior design lover.

Catalogue published on the occasion of the solo exhibition of Arman, 16 December 1969 to 8 February 1970 at the Kunstverein for the Rhineland and Westphalia, Dusseldorf, Germany. Largely illustrated throughout with Arman's great body of accumulation works that made up this exhibition - assemblage sculpture and relief works using dizzying repeated elements from Renault automobiles. Photography in colour and black and white, drawings by the artist, texts in German (by Karl-Heinz Hering and Arman) and a biography and list of exhibited works.
Arman (November 17, 1928 – October 22, 2005) was a French-born American artist.[1] Born Armand Fernandez in Nice, France, Arman was a painter who moved from using objects for the ink or paint traces they leave ("cachet", "allures d'objet") to using them as the painting itself. He is best known for his "accumulations" and destruction/recomposition of objects.
In October 1960, Arman, Yves Klein, François Dufrêne, Raymond Hains, Martial Raysse, Daniel Spoerri, Jean Tinguely and Jacques Villeglé, and art critic and philosopher Pierre Restany founded the Nouveau réalisme group. Joined later by Cesar, Mimmo Rotella, Niki de Saint Phalle, and Christo, the group of young artists defined themselves as bearing in common their "new perspective approaches of reality." They were reassessing the concept of art and the artist for a 20th-century consumer society by reasserting the humanistic ideals in the face of industrial expansion.
In 1961, Arman made his debut in the United States, the country which was to become his second home. During this period, he explored creation via destruction. The "Coupes" and the "Colères" featured sliced, burned, or smashed objects arranged on canvas, often using objects with a strong "identity" such as musical instruments (mainly violins and saxophones) or bronze statues.

Yea I think that's pretty clear in the title though I think it bears repeating!
This years TechEd North America will be hosted in none other than New Orleans, LA! – Which frankly is a GREAT city to host a TechEd in (I went ~10 years ago in NOLA – Good times!)
What this year does have on track for those of you looking to attend are – talking points and ways to convince your boss!
This actually takes you to a web-form which will generate off an email and send it to your boss :)
Now from a personal perspective, the benefit and value of this promotion is pretty severe. I attended TechEd NA 2009 (Maybe you met me! I personally talked to ~3000 people!) And with that said, the attendance was dismal as far as I was concerned! Not to mention there was a great imbalance of Developers compared to IT Pro's! So the value of convincing your boss is and should be very important – considering the fact that VMWorld had 3-4x the number of participants yet worldwide FAR more people work within the space of Microsoft Technologies (Hey, I love VMware too, but you'd think we'd atleast get a decent attendance!)
I'll be 'convincing' my boss, and so should you! So, I'll see you at TechEd (By hook or by crook :)) And what better time to convince than when you can save $300! :)
