Tom Brennan said it well in the post-game. "When you have two evenly matched teams, and one gets a lead early, that's often the worst thing that can happen to them. Syracuse was hot early from 3 point range, they thought they were going to roll to an easy win, and they let up emotionally." Villanova went 8 of 10 from 3-point range in the second half (looking very comfortable against the zone) and it was the Wildcats that rolled to an easy win.
My preview pick Corey Stokes had 18 points, a career high, including 4 of 8 from long range. This surprised the announcers a bit, "He's only 28% on the year from long range." But as I said in my preview, he's getting hot at the right time of the year.
ESPN debuted a Family Circus style red arrow to depict where a player had gone on instant replays. Bilas and Raftery thought it looked like a weather pattern.
The announcers also had the following exchange:
McDonough, "Shane Clark was sluggish earlier this year, suffering from some sort of illness."
Raftery, "You were sluggish earlier this year too Jay."
McDonough, "Yes we were concerned about your health earlier this year."
Raftery, "I was concerned you were coming back."
Raftery also used the "Reynold's Unwrapped" phrase at least 3 times.
Mike Rutherford has an even more detailed live blog of the game on his website.
Elsewhere, Dayton escaped with a 1 point win over St. Louis in overtime. Were the Flyers looking past St. Louis and ahead to Xavier? Or were they just playing like the team that went 8-8 in A10 play? Most importantly, I saw no sign of Chris Wright. Apparently he dressed, but unless he makes a miracle comeback tommorrow, the Flyer's season is probably going to be over.
Up next, will Weyinmi Efejuku keep Providence in the game against West Virginia?

And so it's hard to get people to understand why a woman would ever choose to live a life alone. We no longer have to choose between being a brain and a body, but I can't help but think that we lose something when we couple up, and maybe that thing is worth preserving. I pointed out to a different friend that it was the nuns who were the most socially engaged, working with the world's most vulnerable. My friend, married, asked "as devil's advocate" whether they were simply compensating for the lack of romantic love and children with their social concern. Yes, I said, maybe. "But we all have needs that aren't met, and we're all looking for substitutes."
Every morning in Ávila, I walk from my tiny hotel room into the walled part of the city, where another St. Teresa statue stands on her pedestal, overlooking the gates. The town is small, so there is not much to do that isn't spiritual contemplation or sitting in the sun with a cup of coffee and pastry. There are nuns about during the day, walking in twos, eating gelato and chattering away.
I've traveled with romantic partners before. I had a companion at dinner, so I talked to strangers less. I had someone reading the map, so I wandered down unmarked streets less. It felt cozy, both comfortable and confining. [Emphasis added.]
For those who conceive of freedom as unfettered liberty, the confines of any sort of relationship can seem as intolerable slavery. The paradox of freedom, though, is that the truest form of freedom requires a very specific set of constraints.
To be more precise, the confines of a relationship enable provide focus and order, which frees one from having to constantly think and decide. To state it another way, operating within a specified framework eliminates the need for difficult first-order thinking.
By way of analogy, free verse is often less creative than the typical sonnet because free verse is unfocused. A sonnet follows a very specific set of rules, which actually fosters creativity precisely because it focuses effort into a small number of marginal (but crucial) areas. Free verse, on the other hand, requires massive amounts of thinking yet still remains largely unrefined simply because it takes a tone of effort to write anything meaningful.
In like manner, the confines of, say, a marital relationship are rather liberating because they systemize a lot of processes. The historical religious designation of the man as the head (and children as subjects to parents) establishes a hierarchical template. This relational heuristic streamlines the decision-making process and eliminates a large chunk of need for consensus-seeking. Consequently, this template improves secondary and tertiary decision-making simply because one no longer has to negotiate primary decision-making functions.
In time, the confines of marriage ultimately become liberating simply because they provide focus and streamline tertiary decisions. Deciding where to go is more difficult than deciding how to get there. Spiritual restlessness, as cataloged above, is thus the result of having the freedom of direction. While this sort of optionality is addicting in its own right, it is ultimately unsatisfying precisely because it is unfocused. The comfort of confines exists because it indicates direction and purpose, and purpose is ultimately the truest form of freedom because it frees the mind of anxiety.
The ennui that you feel is ultimately the result of a lack of purpose. The desire to maintain optionality traps you in a state of anxiety. Commitment and its confines is the only thing that can set you free.

Houma (La.) Vandebilt Catholic defensive tackle Joel Ross currently claims four BCS Conference scholarship offers. The 6-foot-1, 312-pounder talked about the schools that are recruiting him and his plans for the remainder of the summer in this interview with Rivals.com.
"I have offers from Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, Arkansas and (Division I-AA) Grambling. LSU is showing interest, but they haven't offered me yet. I don't think I have any favorites, not yet."
Ross recently attended prospect camp at Ole Miss. Frank Wilson is recruiting him for the Rebels.
Article Continues Below
"I was at the camp," he said. "I thought it was pretty good. It was really intense and the people there are very intense. They told me what they could do with me. Told me they could make me into a Freshman All-American."
Ross also has been to LSU on an unofficial visit for a game.
"It was tight," he said. "You know, it was like one of those things where I didn't even think about it at all till I got there, when I went to the game I was like – this is it man."
Ross added that he plans to take an official visit to Oklahoma and may also visit Oklahoma State and Arkansas. He hopes to attend prospect camp at LSU later this month.
Early playing time is important to Ross.
"How I fit in to their system is important to me and if I can play in the first year," he said. "Redshirting is not what I want to do, playing in my first year is important to me."
He's also not in any hurry to make a decision.
"I will probably wait until signing day," he said.
Ross is the nation's No. 56 defensive tackle prospect and the No. 24 overall prospect in the state of Louisiana according to Rivals.com.

Experts and Staff, Energy Central
DSCADA talk
WHEN FIRE HIT A RURAL CONNECTICUT HOME AND A DOWNED POWER LINE endangered response teams, the actions of Connecticut Light & Power (CL&P) were anything but routine. With residents trapped inside the burning building, firefighters didn't have to wait the seemingly interminable minutes it would normally take for a utility crew to arrive and cut the electricity. Instead, in a control room nearly 80 miles away, technicians at a CL&P operations center were able to cut power to the structure less than a minute after receiving the emergency call.
That's because CL&P is about three-quarters of the way through an eight-year project to further automate the 17,000 overhead line miles of its distribution network. The distribution supervisory control and data acquisition (DSCADA) system, through a high-powered radio communications network, now enables a centralized operations center to talk to 1,731 of the 3,000 reclosers mounted on poles throughout Connecticut.
Reclosers—or switches that detect faults throughout the distribution system and automatically restore service—have been an essential part of distribution systems for decades. But having the ability to overlay DSCADA throughout the system happened serendipitously.
The ability to deploy a DSCADA system was enabled by decisions made 20 years ago to convert the entire system from lateral distribution to a series of thousands of interconnecting loops. ''In that way, a single customer on one section of a line could be energized from two different paths,'' said E. Bruce Roy, manager of distribution engineering and operations support for CL&P, the dominant utility in the Nutmeg State. The company has determined that the optimal setup in its protection scheme is for each recloser to serve about 500 customers with each recloser located a few dozen yards apart in densely populated cities to perhaps miles in the remotest regions.
Those paths are on display at its system operations center in Berlin, Conn., roughly the geographic center of the state. The system operation center has divided Connecticut into three regions—western, central and eastern—with 11 individual work stations that can be reoriented as the workload demands.
Each monitor can hone in on any color-coded recloser in the system, with red and green signifying those closed and open, and white designating those not yet enabled with DSCADA. In that instance, a truck would have to roll to the site to de-energize a line. A steady stream of single-line messages scroll down another screen, monitoring events in the systems, with bright pink ones indicating messages from 911 that warrant attention and may require immediate action. On routine spring day, the center is fairly quiet, but operators are poised to act, especially when storms gather and system events literally track from west to east in a storm's path.
And with the thunderstorm season upon us, the system is routinely used to cut power to downed lines that threaten trapped motorists and other people who may be endangered.
And there's also an operational benefit that occurs during storms. DSCADA also allows the utility to operate its system using a lightning protection mode. Normally, reclosers can be set to work extremely fast, as fast as one cycle, to detect a fault. But the operators have the ability to adjust a time delay intentionally. ''If we wanted to, we could set the reclosers to as fast as they are capable, but in any fault, that would cause the lights to flicker on and off, which would be a nuisance to our customers,'' said Roy. ''But in lightning mode you would want the reclosers to respond very fast.'' The company developed the logic so when storms occur, the system allows CL&P to reset the reclosers from its operations center in any or all areas of its service territory to prepare the system for lightning strikes—essentially protecting its fuses from blowing during these events. The cost benefit is real, but impossible to quantify. ''We know it's saving, but that's almost like asking for an answer of what didn't happen,'' he added.
Other cost benefits are easier to quantify. ''Historically, before DSCADA, trucks would roll and be sent from trouble spot to trouble spot. Planning would start before the day even began, and that meant overtime,'' Roy stated. ''Last year, there were 60,000 operations through the DSCADA system, which resulted in 10,000 to 12,000 trips by truck, so right there was a cost benefit of well over $1 million.''
The initial outlay for the system is fairly significant. About 1,700 units are installed, each serving about 500 customers. At about $20,000 a unit—essentially a computer installed on a pole—the company already has invested about $3.4 million. At the current rate of installation, CL&P expects to complete the project in about two years.
The overhead deployment started about six years ago with a pilot of about 45 locations in southwestern Connecticut. Around the same time, the accidental death of a firefighter who entered a building that did not have its power cut only underscored the safety benefits. After the pilot, and some improvements from equipment manufacturers, a decision was made with the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control to introduce the technology statewide.
Deploying DSCADA in CL&P's 6,000 miles of underground distribution is still being contemplated, though not yet mandated by the state regulators. The utility is also looking at installing them in underground systems. Engineering work is now being done, with an assessment of costs and benefits to be made later.

Welfare Fails the Poor
March 3, 2004
In 2000, the United States spent $25.5 billion dollars on welfare, with about half of those funds coming from state governments. Despite the vast resources spent on welfare to help the poor, Michael Tanner of the Cato Institute says that welfare has done more harm than good.
One of the biggest problems with welfare, Tanner says, is the perverse incentives it gives recipients to have children -- arguably the underclass' largest problem. While women do not get pregnant just to get welfare benefits, removing the economic consequences of out-of-wedlock births takes away a major incentive to avoid them. More than three-fourths of more than 20 major studies on welfare recipients show a significant link between benefit levels and out-of-wedlock childbearing.
Unfortunately, the non-economic consequences of illegitimacy, such as delinquency, mental illness and child abuse, have a tendency to perpetuate the problem. Also, children of single-parents are major contributors to neighborhood crime. Research shows that a 50 percent increase in welfare benefit levels leads to a 117 percent increase in the crime rate among young black men.
Welfare has hurt the poor in other ways, says Tanner, including:
- Welfare pays better than work for many recipients, thus eroding the incentive to find employment and working out of poverty.
- Welfare promotes intergenerational dependence -- 29.3 percent of recipients had parents who received welfare as children and a remarkable 7.5 percent are third-generation recipients.
- Saving and the accumulation of wealth -- one of the most important ways to break out of poverty -- is discouraged through low asset eligibility thresholds.
Even the financing of welfare has deleterious effects on the poor -- for example, taxes on investment prevent job creation, and government spending on inefficient programs crowds out more efficient private-sector spending.

"Incivility is expensive. Office rudeness hurts productivity, and sales person rudeness alienates customers" Harvard Business review 2013
Periods of change or challenge in the workplace and/or a person's home life often put people under pressure. This pressure can manifest in a variety of ways and potentially the most obvious being how we interact with other people.
There is an old saying that says, "hurting people, hurt people" and throughout the day there may be a variety of different occasions that lead people to lash out, be rude, bully and/or disrespect other people's space, views and/or work quality.
As mentioned in the article by the Harvard Business Review this rudeness is costing our business's money and therefore it's becoming not just a HR issue but a company wide problem.
A poor experience with a rude sales attendant can result in the customer telling on average 17 other people about the poor experience they had, and with social media that figure can soar into the hundreds instantly. Companies are spending enormous money on branding and PR to only have this potentially destroyed by the part of their brand and PR they can't control and that's the behaviour of its employees to the people who matter, the customers.
So how can we better address rudeness in the workplace?
- Leaders need to be effective at asking curious questions. Ask the questions which get the answers you may not want to hear.
- Have an environment that promotes healthy venting – teach your people the appropriate way of dealing with workplace frustrations. For example. Which issues should be dealt with on a peer to peer level and which should be dealt with through consultation with a leader.
- Promote honesty and transparency by creating a culture that rewards and recognises vulnerability.
- Keep people engaged and focused on meaningful tasks – "It's often the person who isn't rowing, who has the time to rock the boat".
- Teach your people the ability to perform at their best despite what personal & professional setbacks they may be facing.
- If rudeness is the symptom, then discover what's the issue behind it. Be careful to look deeper before judging a workmate as 'rude'. Call the behaviour, however also investigate why they are hurting?
- For people who are consistently rude and have no desire to change their ways, use the 'Organisational Values' as a starting place for performance managing. "How do you think that behaviour is helping to execute our Values?"
- Good manners and etiquette should always be encouraged, rewarded and recognised.
- If it's your boss or leader above you who is rude, you may need to consider exactly how far you are prepared to compromise and when is enough, enough. Title or position should never be an excuse for rudeness!

I wanted to write up a quick trip review. We spent 7 nights in Turks and Cacios. We stayed at the Ocean Club West. Sadly, it rained everyday we there there. Thankfully it wasn't all day everyday but it was a good chuck of our trip. Apparently this is very rare.
While I didn't like TCI enough to want to go back I will say that it was the softest sand I have ever walked on. When the sun was out, the water was amazing. We didn't do much during our week. We just wanted to relax.
We didn't rent a car, we walked to dinner.
Our favorites were Cocoa Bistro and Coyaba.
We are at Coyaba twice. They have the most amazing gorgonzola noche. Sooo yummy. At Cocoa Bistro I got the rib eye and MDH got the salmon. Both were amazing! Maybe the best entrees we had while we were there. A couple times we ordered two appetizers with one entre and it would still be over 100 bucks... that is with no dessert or drinks. I knew the island would due expensive but it was even more expensive than I had imagined.
We were disappointed in Mango reef... everyone recommends it but I don't see why.
We went to Hemmingway's for lunch. I got the fish tacos. they were ok but the drinks are what are so great about that place, in my opinion... they were nice and strong.
We did go to the casino twice, since it was raining so much. They will come and get you for free and take you home. It was a good way to spend a rainy day.
Overall my biggest complaint was that the people were not friendly at all. We kept getting horrible service. I guess since most places include 10% gratuity to the bill they assume they don't have to be friendly.
We used the bikes to go town to the IGA to get some groceries. It was a fun way to get there and I appreciate that the OCW lets you use them for free.
I also liked that the OCW has a book library with a take one, leave on policy. I read 4 and a half books during our week. I loved reading on the big screened in patio while it rained.
We rented a suite with full kitchen and washer and dryer from VRBO... it was ok but I don't think I would do it again. I liked having the little extras but the room smelled. Luckily the owner had a few candles laying around that helped. We wished we would have done an all inclusive.
My husband and I LOVED all the little lizards on the island... we saw them everywhere.
We walked all the way down to Coral Reef to snorkel... it was a long walk... wouldn't want to do that twice but still glad we went.
It was nice to try a new Island but my heart still belongs to Hawaii.

Trip Report TCI
I wanted to write up a quick trip review. We spent 7 nights in Turks and Cacios. We stayed at the Ocean Club West. Sadly, it rained everyday we there there. Thankfully it wasn't all day everyday but it was a good chuck of our trip. Apparently this is very rare.

Sorry to hear you would not return..perhaps if the weather was better and you saw more of the Island you would feel different! It also depends where you stay ( smelly condo-that is enough to turn anyone off) We love the Somerset and will return in July. Sorry about Mango Reef too...we have had great Lobster items there that we loved...too bad ! I guess TCI is not for everyone!

I've never been able to listen to music while doing something that requires a lot of brainpower. I've never been able to listen to music while falling asleep. I've also never been able to listen to modern music that lacks vocals, including techno or the ever-dreaded neo-space rock. Until, that is, I listened to Eluvium, Matthew Cooper's space rock electronica affair that borrows Brian Eno's blueprint and expands on it wonderfully.
It seems Cooper, the slightly off mind behind Lambent Material, his full-length debut, has created an instrumental album for two specific purposes. First, to help listeners fall into a black void of sleep (with the exception of the 15-minute "Zerthis was a Shivering Human Image"). And second, to allow listeners to wallow in any particular emotion they damn well please without being told how to feel by a self-righteous rock artist.
The first two tracks, "The Unfinished" and "Under the Water it Glowed," are smoothed into one soft, repetitive lullaby that is oddly appealing, leading up to the climax of the album, "There Wasn't Anything." The combination of the soft, slow piano and the people faintly talking, laughing and making random noises in the background invoke a flashback feeling, as if you are an outsider looking in on an unknown scene that is filled with your own experience or memory.
"Zerthis Was a Shivering Human Image" is composed of a steadily increasing sound of musical noise reminiscent of television static with a support of background organ sounds. The simple television-static sound has such an intense impact that I eventually skip to "I Am So Much More Me That You Are … " the album's fifth and final track, a quiet rhythm that concludes with the sound of a far-away truck pulling out from you, smoothly beckoning the end of the album.
Eluvium makes you think without telling you anything, an alternative to all the "messages" artists want to impound into your head. It will leave you sitting still for a few moments after the music stops, wandering off into your own little world. At least until reality comes back and, as in my case, your sarcastic father wanders into your room spouting summer job opportunities such as cleaning up dog droppings for $9 a week.

LISTEN: British Muslim pledges to join evil ISIS during shocking rant on live radio
A BRITISH Muslim has professed his allegiance to Islamic State (ISIS) in a shocking on-air rant that has sparked outrage.
Iain Dale was shocked by the pro-ISIS caller to his LBC show
The caller, referred to only as Khan, claimed the West was "just as evil as ISIS" and referred to the depraved jihadis simply as "freedom fighters".
His sickening diatribe went on to shower the barbaric group with praise, with the man telling LBC radio's Iain Dale: "I hope they win and establish an Islamic State in Afghanistan and in Iraq because, you know, they deserve this."
He said international condemnation of the torture and slaughter of innocent civilians at the hands of ISIS was merely evidence that the UK was "demonising" militants.
In a three-minute hate-filled diatribe, Khan said: "I'd love to [take my family to join ISIS] if you didn't brand me a terrorist. "
ISIS militants in Iraq
Challenged on how he could defend the twisted terror network's brutal public executions of gay people and the use of young women as sex slaves, he answered: "There's a lot of propaganda, a lot of demonising propaganda.
"It's easily done by the West, it just demonises people."
'Khan' told the radio phone in he would consider taking his family to join ISIS
Asked if he would call them terrorists, the caller responded: "I would call them mujahideen, freedom fighters, same as the Taliban."
He went on to blame the West for turning the Taliban - which banned television, music and cinema and girls over the age of 10 from going to school - into terrorists.
He accused the US and Britain of carrying out genocide in the Middle East, claiming the West was responsible for killing "a lot more Muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria than ISIS ever have".
His outrageous remarks sparked a flurry of angry comments from listeners on the LBC website, with many urging him to follow through on his threat to flee the country.
One Jane Robbins Hancox, wrote: "Khan..go, go and never come back."
Another, Rahman Musa, said: "I don't believe this caller is genuine he is so incredibly stupid that he probably trips over his shoe laces on a regular basis."
A third, Mervyn Kersh, wrote: "Everybody in the UK who would like to go to the Caliphate to fight or to live, should be helped in every way - but with no return to civilisation.
"I hope the police and security have traced him and will help him in his wish to go."
The Metropolitan Police told Express.co.uk they would not confirm or deny whether an investigation had been launched.

My daughter and I went to the local farmer's market to see if we could sell some of our jewelry stash. The weather was great, although it got a little windy (I'm not used to selling at an outdoor venue). After chasing down some items that were blown around from the wind, and securing all light weight pieces, we seemed to do pretty well with our selling.
My favorite Bronzclay piece sold; my seedum necklace. I'm so glad that I sold it, but hated to see it go. So when I got home, I spent my profit in purchasing more Bronzclay. I also spent a few days making more molds of botanical things around the house.
Mold of a branch from an evergreen bush
Mold of a branch from a wild raspberry vine.
I also found these old rusty keys at a recent garage sale. The sale had all kinds of cool old stuff, and I came home with these...rusty...old....keys. I'm not sure why I like them so much. Maybe because in the back of my mind I'm thinking that these keys were lost, misplaced, and maybe never found by the owner. Or I start thinking about what they may have opened, and what may still lie in the boxes or behind those locked doors. Or maybe they remind me of being a latch key kid growing up and having to keep track of the house key. Anyway, I made molds of some of them also.
This is my favorite key...it has a heart at the top. Key to my heart!
While I'm waiting for my new clay to come, I'll keep making molds...

Which Decade Is It Anyway?
- Artist: Squamous Eddie
- Genre: Rock
- Release Date: 7/17/2007
Squamous Eddie is a band of friends and studio musicians recording the music of Christopher Conti. Christopher Conti writes all the material, both music and lyrics, then records a 'practice demo' in his studio in which he plays all the instruments and sings all of the parts. The demo is then sent to his producer/friend Randy Crafton of kaleidoscope Studios outside of Jersey City, N.J. Chris and Randy have been friends since the age of 7 where they learned music practicing drums (Randy) and Piano at Randy's house in upstate New York. Randy took the music road as a carreer, owning and running kaleidoscope studios and recording musicians such a Richie Havens, Walter Parks, and Dayna Kurtz, while Chris took the medical road using music and art as an outlet to his medical career. Randy listens to the songs and makes suggestions of which musicians will be best for the different genres of music. Walter Parks (vocals, guitars), Danya Kurtz (Vocals), Randy Crafton (Drums and percussion), Rene Cologne (Vocals and Orchestral arrangements), and Sean Harkness (Guitars), along with Christopher Conti (Keyboards, some rhythm guitar, some bass, and vocals) are the main members of the band with many other guest stars who add a whole new dimension to the Squamous Eddie sound. Most of the CD is recorded at kaleidoscope, where the aforementioned musicians meet, then Chris does most of his parts in his own studio and imports them into the final mix. Chris and Randy then mix the CD, get it mastered, and the artwork for the CD is done by Walter Parks (Musician, Photographer, and graphic designer), then the CD is then ready for listening!

Greenfield, Massachusetts is a top town for yummy healthy food. They are the places to get LIT for foodies.
This is a small town and admittedly, these delicious restaurants likely won't win many awards or get splashy profiles in fancy cooking magazines. For real though: Taylor Swift can take her food selfie somewhere else. Ackward. But the locals are already over it.
Maybe you are feeling a classic burger and fries. Or perhaps you prefer a local specialty. Either way, this list will blow your mind and blow up your belly. These restaurants are so good you will likely score a second date! Some are cheap eats and some are fancy white cloth eateries. All are Facebook worthy.

21 days in Japan
Hi guys,
I've got a trip coming up, 21 days in Japan, which I originally thought meant I should get a 21 day pass. But seeing as I'm going to be spending a few days in Hokkaido at the start and a few days in Kyushu at the end, would it be more cost effective to just get the 14 day pass for my time in between? Or would it actually cost me more considering I would have to pay for individual trains to explore Hokkaido and Kyushu? Any advice would be appreciated!
Hi there,
Its hard to say without knowing your itinerary exactly. If you are flying in via Hokkaido and out of Kyushu, then a 14 day JR Pass may be enough. However you may want to use a 21 day JR Pass if you fly out via Tokyo or Kansai.
Hope this helps,

text: Before studying to become a psychologist, I worked in a psychiatric hospital for children and adolescents, a landing place for distressed kids coming from impossible situations. Life in the hospital relied upon a rigid schedule and a behavior point system. For some, the structure was a welcome relief from chaos, but for others it was a reminder of how little control they had in their lives. These children threw themselves time and again into a state of turmoil. They were violent toward themselves and others, oppositional, deceitful and vindictive. I can recall one patient who told me flat out that she would "go off" that evening simply because it was my night to be on call and she wanted to keep me stuck at the hospital. It felt as though she wanted to punish me, and she delivered with dramatic threats to hurt herself and her peers. We called these patients manipulative because, well, that's what they appeared to be.

The EBRD bank's President Sir Suma Chakrabarti is visiting India first time after 2007 for exploring investment possibilities with Indian companies in other emerging economies.
European crisis may be on its way out and with more structural reforms the countries in this regions can begun their economic recovery, believes Suma Chakrabarti, President of European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), which is the largest financial investor in central Europe to central Asia and the southern and eastern Mediterranean.
Chakrabarti, who has observed European crisis very closely says that next two years will be much better for many European countries, given that they focus not only on fiscal but also structural reforms.
Chakrabarti is visiting India first time after 2007 for exploring investment possibilities with Indian companies in other emerging economies.
"My basic point though is that we are not doing enough with Indian investors, it is only billion dollar over 22 years," Chakrabarti told in an interview with CNBC-TV18. Partnering with Indian companies is not just with an intention of getting investment but also for getting expertise. "We are looking for raising standards," he says. The bank has already partnered with several Indian corporate.
Formed, after fall of Berlin wall to help the communist countries transition into market economies, EBRD has now spread its winds not only in European countries but also in several emerging economies in North Africa. The bank has grown enormously and now has USD 40 billion asset under management.
Fitch cuts Italy credit rating after election impasse
Below is the verbatim transcript of the interview
Q: Give me an idea of how different is the EBRD from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or the World Bank?
A: The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) was set up 22 years ago after fall of communism, fall of Berlin Wall to help the transition of Eastern Europe from communism to open market economies. So, unlike the World Bank or Asian Development Bank (ADB), we focus very much on the private sector. So, 80 percent of what we do in terms of new investment is on the private sector. Even the 20 percent that is on the public sector is to try and make the public sector more commercial, more efficient and also quite often for making privatisation or corporate restructuring. So, it is a very private sector focused organisation and very project based.
Q: You look for partnerships for people to put in more capital. I read that since the European crises began you almost doubled your annual investment. So, is there more because you get partners to also put in money?
A: It is roughly at the moment about USD 10.5-12 billion a year. Yes, it is true we went up from 6 to that number, mainly because of the crises, and to try and help those economies survive. We try to attract other investors in. We have a very big catalytic world so for every dollar we put in; we get another USD 2.5 from other investors. Because of our good name people want to come in with us and that is quite powerful catalytic investment.
Q: You put money as debt?
A: We do debt and equity. We do all sorts of financial instruments, most of it is debt but we also have 12 percent of equity at the moment and we can take more.
Q: Do you just bring in money? Do you bring in expertise?
A: We bring expertise as well. That makes us a bit different from a commercial bank or an investment bank.
Q: So you are part private equity, you are part venture capitalist?
A: Yes, and we are partly a public policy organisation. If we are going in with a company, we will not just be worried about a good rate of return, we are worried about making them fit in terms of their energy efficiency also.We might provide some donor funding for energy audits, we might try and get their accounting standards up to International Financial Reporting (IFRS) accounting standard. Their corporate governance should be of world class standards. We put in all of those extras in a way that a commercial bank probably would not focus on.
Q: Where do you raise your money from?
A: Often from shareholders, but in terms of what they call corporation funding. So they have special parts of money like a grant which they want to use for providing loans to these companies, so that they can get high class standards.
Q: How worried are you about the crisis? Lots of people tell us that Europe is now on the way back up. Is it that simple or is it far more complex?
A: It is clearly complex and each country is very different. As a general statement I would say that the crisis is bottoming out in many of our countries. If you look at Eastern Europe I think most countries, nearly all will register positive rates of growth in 2013 after a pretty bad 2012. My expectation is most of them will do even better in 2014 provided they continue to reform both on the fiscal side and structural side.
Q: That is a big condition especially after what we saw happened in Italy. The electorate voted out a man Monti, who was a technocrat, who has really came and helped the country come back to some kind of fiscal stability and brought back people who are possibly largely responsible for the crisis that the country is in. What incentive is there for politicians or reform?
A: The difficulty for all the politicians is that they work on electoral cycles. So they have to put the national interest above the party political interest. The good news from Eastern Europe is many politicians are doing exactly that. They are persevering with fiscal consolidation and also undertaking some difficult structural reforms. We need to see more structural reforms. More improvement in the investment climate, that is for sure, but it is not as if they are avoiding these difficult issues.
This leads to difficult situation. Italy is a classic one at the moment, but if you look at Greece the government there is taking extremely difficult decisions now and it is not going to be popular, but they are sticking with it. Same in Bulgaria, Serbia and various other countries as well, Poland will be another good example and of course the Baltic states which did a lot of this. Italy, I think we have got a major issue there.
Q: Are you worried it could have a domino effect through the rest of Europe?
A: I don't see that happening as yet. There are elections in various countries which have taken place already, some are to come. I don't see that domino effect happening yet. Italy does matter, it is a big economy so what we now need to see is whether the parties are going to come together, form some sort of national government, form some credible plans because Monty did do a lot of good in his government. Or whether they need to have another election may be in a few months time just to resolve this issue, this impasse.
Q: Growth or austerity that is something that Finance Ministers grapple with all over the world, we have had our FM grapple with that, we had Moody's just downgrade Britain just a week ago because apparently they felt that there wasn't enough being done for growth. What is your view here?
A: My view here is this is a false tradeoff, you got to do both. It is very difficult to avoid some measure of fiscal consolidation, given the size of the fiscal deficits in many of these countries. One can argue about the pace of that in a situation like this, but it is difficult to argue that you shouldn't tackle it. In Eastern Europe the countries are really doing that.
Portuguese march against austerity, demand govt step down
Now at the same time they do need to improve the investment climate. If you take Eastern Europe, 2014 is likely to be a year when the global economy is expected to recover a little. Many of those economies in Eastern Europe are quite small, they are very unlikely to be able to recover of their own free will and they need the global economy to recover. So they need to take advantage of the recovery to attract new investment into their countries both domestic and foreign investment. To do that they have to reform on the structural side as well not just the fiscal side. That is hard but you have to do the two together.
Q: Why are you in India? How many Indian companies have you partnered with in Europe and any in North Africa?
A: Quite a number so far in Eastern Europe and mainly in Russia. We have had about a billion dollars worth of partnerships with Indian companies over the years.
Q: So it is a billion dollar partnership that Indian company putting in?
A: EBRD is putting two third and one third is by Indian companies and they have been with very successful companies like Tata, Tata Beverages, we had a good tie-up with them in Russia. SREI, they have got an investment in Russia which we are also working on with them.
Q: What you look for when you approach Indian companies. Is it just money or is it some kind of expertise that they bring in operating in a low economy market?
A: We are looking for raising standards. We are going to use this investment, try and raise the standards in the sector, in the country that we might operate in. So, we look very much to try and use the project for extra value add as I talked about earlier and both with Tata or SREI that is what we are getting; I think with Jindal Steel and Power Limited in Georgia, we are investing in a steel mill there. That is a very successful investment.
My basic point though is that we are not doing enough with Indian investors, if it is a only billion dollar over 22 years, considering size of Indian economy, the size of private sector and given the regions we are working in.
Q: Why would an Indian company would invest with you when they have a large market at home so what is the incentive for them?
A: I think the finance minister has been absolutely right to say that the only way the Indian current account deficit can be fix is by a big increase in exports. So, export drive is necessary. Indian companies are now world-class in many ways. Why invest with us? because we know the regions that they do not know as well.
We know this country is very old, established on the ground, we have our own country officers. Moreover we are highly successful. We have only 3 percent non-performing loan ratio given the risk we are taking in the countries we are in that is enormously successful. So, basically if you invest with us in the Indian company, you are likely to get a very high and safe return on your investment.
Q: When you talked about exports, so is it that the country that you invest in, are you looking at them as market for Indian companies or sources of manufacture for Indian companies?
A: It can be either but the investment has to take place in those countries for it to be eligible for EBRD, but it can be either. We have discussed either opportunity with various investors. So, places like Russia, places like turkey, Egypt in the longer term. These are very exciting, large economies where attractive returns can be made over the longer term. You can have large scale investment from these Indian companies. So, I think there is plenty of opportunity there and there is quite an excitement I feel for a number of these companies, particularly when they realise actually going in with EBRD is quite an interesting way for them to make sure they get a good return.
Q: You have been meeting with Chief Executive Officers (CEO) of Indian companies who you have hopefully been trying to get invest with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). What are they telling you about the economy? What we have had the Finance Minister worried about is that Indian companies have not restarted the investment cycle in India. What is holding them back and how optimistic are they?
A: I think it has got a mixed picture. Often many of the larger companies we have talked about have not got a problem in terms of investing in the domestic economy. They are doing pretty well. The issue is actually with more medium scale companies from what I hear. They say that the investment rate in India has fallen as the Finance Minister has pointed out for a number of reasons. If you look at the World Bank's 'Doing Business Survey', India is still stuck in at 132nd in the survey.
So it is not doing as well as Turkey, China or even Russia for a number of well-known reasons to an Indian who wants to invest. Starting up a new company is quite difficult in India. There are lots of bureaucratic hurdles. Enforcing contracts can be quite difficult. Getting a construction permit can be very difficult and the infrastructure. On the infrastructure the Finance Minister did have some very good things to say in the Budget. He knows that is a crucial issue going forward. But these are obstacles which make it difficult to get the investment rate up very quickly, but they were issues that he has always been committed to tackling and I think he will.
Q: One of the issues that he had right up there was the possibility of a downgrade. Downgrade from investment to junk. How serious would have that been? If it had happened would you still be interested in the country? We know that Britain just got a downgrade, but that just brought it up on par with other countries in Western Europe and with America. If India were to be move from investment to junk how serious would that have been?
A: I do not think it is a good thing, but at the same time for EBRD the sort of companies we want to invest in, their ratings will matter a lot for us. No ratings are very solid indeed. So we would not be worried about that. I think what the Finance Minister did in terms of modest fiscal consolidation has been warmly welcomed by Moody's and I am not surprised, because I think in the political context a year away from election that has been quite a brave thing to do. So I think Moody's have got it right in terms of their judgement on that.
Q: You have for the last three-four years moved to North Africa. Was that going beyond your mandate? Does European in the EBRD suggest the realm of where you will invest or does it suggest just the base of where you are from?
A: Yes, the E was very much about where we were investing, because our shareholders, the governments, the owners, 66 of them include the United States which is largest shareholder and Japan, Korea, Australia, Turkey, Mexico, a lot of non-European shareholders as well. But it was initially about Eastern Europe hence the E very much in it. But it was always thought that because we have been quite successful with the transition in Eastern Europe. Then we had some value-add in Post-Arab Spring with the political and economic transition in North Africa and that is why we were chosen by the shareholders to move there as well.
Q: Will that mean you could move further into South Africa? That can be a land of huge opportunity in the future.
A: Yes, I think Sub-Saharan Africa is a land of the great opportunity but it is not on our radar.
Q: What is the outlook for North Africa? Why should Indian companies come there?
A: Even in bad times, even in difficult global economic situation like this year, we expect the four countries that we were in- Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt and Jordon to grow at about just over 4 percent this year. We expect Morocco to grow over 5 percent this year. So growth is there. Investment opportunities are there and Indian companies have been in that region for a long, long time. India however ranks only eleventh in those four countries in terms of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), so surprisingly low given it is not very far away distance-wise. Many of the countries are known and I think what we can do again a bit like in Eastern Europe is give comfort to Indian companies wanting to go there. Egypt is seen by many Indian companies as a future, Turkey once it gets over the political situations that it is going through right now.
Q: What is the comfort they are looking for? What are the risks that they fear?
A: The risk that they fear is the rules of the game will get changed. That is what any company fears. You go in on the basis of certain rules, certain policies that the government is going to pursue and then you wake up one morning and you find that the government has simply decided to move the goalpost and then your investment is worthless. So that is the thing. They need consistency and stability in the framework of investment.
Q: How are you confident that the four countries that you invested in are moving on the path to consistency?
A: What we found is that we have a very strong pipeline of projects in the private sector in all four countries. Of course many of the private sector projects do not depend on government action at all. Now some do of course. So there are some difficult choices in a place like Egypt about what the power sector tariffs might look like, that would of course affect whether we can do more in the power sector. But there are plenty of other projects in the Egyptian economy which have nothing to do with the government policy decisions. Those are safe and I think it is worth Indian companies trying to get a toehold now in the Egyptian or Moroccan economy while things are changing, while people are being a bit cautious and coming with EBRD because with us the money is safe.
Q: Are Indian companies showing any sign of interest?
A: Yes they are. One of the things that I found on this visit is the large Indian corporate need scale, firstly in terms of investment, they also need to piggyback on our local knowledge because we have teams on the ground in all of these countries. With that sort of tie-up I think we can actually help them in a way to feel comfortable about going into these economies.
Q: What sectors do you think Indian companies can really provide the expertise and reap those benefits?
A: I think it is a wide range. I think some of the obvious sectors Indian companies could make a major investment in are petrochemicals, agricultural equipment, IT sector, steel and leasing. So there is a range of sectors. Fortunately most of the Indian corporate that I have talked to are already very diversified, so they have options in a number of different sectors. We also have the same range of expertise with sectors.
Q: Do governments in these countries that you invest in view you with less suspicion then they would another private sector company or do they view you with suspicion on ideology?
A: They do not really view us without ideological bent. If you look at our work in Eastern Europe, Turkey, Mongolia and former Soviet Union we were seen very much as on the side of the change and that is important for any international institution to be seen as the friend of change. This is same in the Arab Spring. We were not there prior to the Arab Spring. So in a way we are not associated, we do not have the baggage of having been there before. So we are very much associated at the moment in the public mind, political mind as agents of change.
Q: That will help your partners as well if they come in with you?
A: Yes absolutely. That sort of rubs off in a way.

First Look: Samsung Chromebook Plus and Pro, Ready for Android Apps
Google has been promising Android app and Google Play support for its Chromium OS-based Chromebooks for several months now. And it's started trickling out to some devices, like Asus' Chromebook Flip and Acer's R13. But those models weren't designed specifically with Android apps in mind.
Samsung's new Chromebook Plus and Chromebook Pro are the first to be built for Google Play from the get-go. As such, they are fold-over convertibles with a built-in stylus and some swanky-sounding AI-assisted pen input. The two models only really differ in their processors, with the $449 Chromebook Plus, available starting in February, sporting Samsung-made ARM-based silicon. The Pro model, with a Intel Core m3 chip, will come later in 2017 with a higher sticker price. Follow us below to see if these fancy Google-powered convertibles make the Chromebook ecosystem vastly more appealing.

Philadelphia, PA, 19104
Picture Bride
dir. Kayo Hatta, 1994, U.S., color, 90mins. – in English and Japanese with subtitles
In celebration of One Book, One Philadelphia—A Project of the Office of the Mayor and the Free Library of Philadelphia
At the beginning of the 20th century, Hawaii's economy was dominated by the export of sugar cane, and, to boost production, plantation owners imported workers from China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and other countries. Men arrived in droves, with illusions of getting rich. Reality, of course, was far from the dream, so, instead of wealth, they sought the comfort and stability of a family. As Hawaii lacked an abundance of available women, the eventual solution was the concept of the "photo marriage."
More than 20,000 picture brides came to Hawaii between 1907 and 1924, primarily from Japan and Korea. Most were young and, armed only with a photograph of their intended groom, they arrived to find hardship and disillusionment. In person, the men often bore little resemblance to their black-and-white representations, and the day-to-day work that awaited the new wives was grueling. City girls especially had a hard time coping.
Picture Bride was an Official Selection at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival, received an Independent Spirit Award nomination for best first film, and won the Sundance Film Festival Audience Award in 1995 for Best Dramatic Film.
The film will be followed by a panel discussion.

Ashurst has added two new partners to its disputes practice in Asia.
Robert Palmer and Christopher Bailey are both joining Ashurst from Herbert Smith Freehills, where they were respectively an of counsel in Singapore and a consultant in Bangkok.
The two will both join the firm's Singapore office initially, though Bailey will later relocate to Tokyo.
Palmer specializes in international arbitration work related to energy and infrastructure sectors. Bailey, who will become Ashurst's first disputes partner in Tokyo, will focus on advising Japanese clients on their overseas disputes. Before transferring to Bangkok last year, Bailey had worked in Herbert Smith's Tokyo office for five years, including a period of secondment to a Japanese trading house.
According to its website, London-based Ashurst has 19 lawyers in its Tokyo office and 16 lawyers in Singapore. With its merger earlier this year with Australia's Blake Dawson, Ashurst has more than 1,700 lawyers worldwide.

County, Kansas
Schoenchen is located eleven miles south of Hays on the south bank of the Smoky Hill river. It was founded by Russian immigrants from the towns of Neu-Ober, Obermunjor, and Schoenchen. They left Russia in 1875 and originally settled in Liebenthal (in Rush County), but some dissenters later left Liebenthal to found a new colony. They named their new colony Schoenchen after one of the Russian towns that many of the settlers had lived in.
The name Schoenchen means "little beautiful one" in German.

Original paper
Regional coherence and geographical variability in the surface water temperatures of Scottish Highland lochs
Livingstone, David M.; Kernan, Martin
Advances in Limnology Volume 62 (2009), p. 367 - 378
28 references
published: Dec 23, 2009
ArtNo. ESP143006200009, Price: 29.00 €
In 25 lochs in the Grampians and Northwest Highlands of Scotland, miniature thermistors with integrated data loggers were employed in 2000 and 2001 to measure lake surface water temperatures (LSWTs). Results indicate that LSWTs fluctuate coherently in response to climatic forcing, and that additionally, they differ little in an absolute sense, implying that daily mean LSWTs can be upscaled easily. Regional coherence in LSWT is substantially higher in summer and autumn than in winter and spring. LSWT decreases approximately linearly with increasing altitude above sea level during winter and spring, but not otherwise; this contrasts strongly with the results of studies in other mountain regions, which show the most pronounced linear decrease in LSWT with altitude to occur in summer. LSWT showed no dependence on latitude at any time of the year, but showed a significant dependence on longitude – which can be interpreted as distance from the maritime influence of the Atlantic – especially during autumn and spring. In summer, no consistent dependence of LSWT on either altitude, latitude or longitude was found, implying that any differences in LSWT that may exist among the lochs in summer are predominantly the result of lake-specific local effects. The duration of the period during which LSWT ≤ 4°C depends on altitude and longitude, but not on latitude. The timing of the onset of this period in autumn occurs essentially simultaneously throughout northern Scotland, whereas the timing of the end of the period in spring becomes later with increasing altitude and increasing distance towards the east. This suggests that the duration of inverse stratification or circulation at temperatures less than the temperature of maximum density will tend to be less in low-lying lochs and/or lochs close to the Atlantic coastline than in high-altitude lochs and/or lochs located further from the Atlantic coast, and that this difference is entirely due to differences in climatic forcing that occur in spring.

"This is one of our most luxurious breakfast dishes, perfect at the end of a hard night or as a treat on a Sunday morning," says Duck & Waffle's Dan Doherty of this decadent brunch dish.
"You can play about with the ingredients you use – a layer of spinach at the bottom of the dish is a good addition, as is diced smoked haddock in place of the mushrooms." Consider us sold.
- Butter, for greasing
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 1 sprig of fresh thyme
- ½ clove of garlic
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 handful of wild mushrooms, roughly chopped into 2cm pieces
- ½ glass of white wine
- 150ml double cream
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 duck eggs
- 2 slices of sourdough bread
- 20g gruyère cheese, grated
- 3-5 truffle slices (per person)
- Butter the insides of two 100ml ramekins or individual cocottes.
- Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and cook the shallots with the thyme, garlic and bay leaf until softened.
- Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes more, then add the wine and simmer until reduced by around three-quarters.
- Add the cream and continue to cook until reduced by half, then season with salt and pepper. When it's reduced, preheat your oven to 180°C.
- Place half the sauce in the bottom of each ramekin, removing the thyme and bay leaf, then crack a duck egg into each.
- Top with the rest of the sauce, and place in the oven for 3 minutes.
- Toast the bread and cut into soldiers. When the 3 minutes is up, or the whites have started to form, add the cheese to the ramekins and cook for a further 4-8 minutes. Garnish with the truffle slices.
- Eat straight away with the toasted soldiers.

It says "Windows Default" in the drop down.
You may hear a short beep during startup before Windows starts as an indication all is well. There could be a dust build up that muffles it.
