"Magnificent! Antoni Wit's new recording of Messiaen's phantasmagoric Turangalila Symphony may lack the extreme orchestral virtuosity of versions by Previn, Chailly, or Salonen, but it beats them all in sheer musicality and fidelity to the composer's minutely specified instructions. Consider three quick examples. First, virtually all performances make a huge pause before the introduction of the 'flower' theme, but Wit notices that Messiaen has indicated only a brief comma, or 'breath pause'. Second, all three alternative versions listed above play the finale at close to the tempo of the fifth movement 'Joy of the Blood of the Stars', though Messiaen's designation for this movement is 'Moderately, almost lively, with great joy.' And that's exactly what we get here. Wit's slower tempo gives the piece the symphonic weight that it needs to conclude this great cycle of 10 movements, while the ability to take in all of its fantastic detail reduces the excitement not one bit--just the opposite, in fact. Finally, the way that Wit hangs onto that last luminous chord, with the percussion crescendo approaching the threshold of pain, proves that he understands the music's spirit as much as he strictly obeys the composer's instructions.
Following the score along with this performance is an incredible delight. Wit ensures that Messiaen's rhythms sound with exceptional clarity: the interplay of woodblock, maracas, cymbals, tambourine, drums, and chimes never has made more musical sense. He balances the textural complexities of the three 'love song' movements, especially 'Development of Love', with a supernatural sense of where the primary melodic threads lie. The fulsome, swooning, lyrical themes have just the right ecstatic intensity, the Ondes Martenot adding its characteristically sexy voice without undue spotlighting, thereby avoiding blatant vulgarity. And yet, as the Fifth movement clearly shows, Wit can whip up as big a frenzy as
"Wit's partnership with this orchestra has got to be one of the best-kept secrets in orchestradom, one that Naxos has just started to make common knowledge. ...Wit is much to be preferred to some old, creaky in-concert recordings of Turangalila."
"This is curious score, as attested by that apparently objective and birdsong-like piano part versus the neo-Wagnerian love-death throes of the ones Martenot and the orchestra. Wit calls up power when it's needed, which is a pretty good surrogate for wild abandon with a score of this complexity, and at times (for example, in the comparatively languid sixth movement, 'Jardin du sommeil') he allows the soloists to engage in chamber-music give-and-take. The Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra is easily the cleanest-playing orchestra of the current crop. Pianist Francois Weigel imbues the difficult piano part with personality, eschewing the crystalline approach of most of his predecessors, including Loriod (in the Chung and Froment recordings), Béroff (Previn), and Paul Crossley (Salonen).
"L'Ascension is an early (1932) orchestral work, dating from just after Messiaen's Conservatoire days. Although an enjoyable piece that presages some of his mature work, especially in its use of asymmetrical rhythms and anticontrapuntal, vaguely exotic melody, this is Messiaen with clear ties to Stravinsky and especially Debussy. Messiaen later transcribed the piece for organ.
"The fine performances are reinforced by a clear acoustic with very good depth. I think this is the Turangalila to have regardless of price, except for that nagging 'definitive' blessing bestowed on the Chung. Do you want two Turangalilas? You don't need two of this lurid, over-the-top behemoth, you need this one only, which is priced below the competition, comes with a nice companion piece (only otherwise available for organ or in a hodgepodge collection as recorded by Chung), and is a very good performance. This conductor and orchestra have been critically acclaimed for their Lutoslawski series, and this recording clearly measures up to that standard. Hopefully they'll go on to record Messiaen's later orchestral scores."
"How wonderful it is to have these two fine works by Olivier Messiaen available in this inexpensive two-disc release from Naxos. Even more wonderful are the performance and recording, which equal and in some ways better those available at premium price... Although the sound may lack that last bit of bass power and hall sound, it is clean and clear and well-balanced, allowing the listener to enjoy the music undistracted. What a joy this recording is!"
Editor's Choice
"A powerful reading by these superb Polish Musicians...A Turangalila with all the expressive power the score needs, and its equally well-played coupling provides an opportunity to enjoy less frequently heard Messiaen...Devotees of Naxos' ongoing forays into 20th century masterworks certainly shouldn't hesitate."
"The Turangalila Symphony, with its rich blend of exotic and surreal elements rooted in the Tristan myth, is Messian's best-known orchestral work. First broadcast on the BBC in 1951, it caused apoplexy among the corporation's governors, but is now part of the repertoire. The desire to use Turangalila as a showpiece has meant that performances often overlooked the need for the work to be fun and exude an irrepressible joy. The Polish forces on this new account have a strong pedigree in Messiaen's music. Antoni Wit was regarded very highly by the composer, and his recording with the same orchestra of Messiaen's last masterpiece, Eclaires sur l'au-dela... is profoundly moving. The opening of Turangalila is absolutely gripping, quieter moments are beautifully phrased and ebullient passages certainly lack no enthusiasm or joy."

London Mayor Sadiq Khan said Friday that junk food advertising will be banned on the city's entire public transportation network from February, as part of a plan to tackle childhood obesity.
Restrictions will come into force February 25 and will cover all advertising for foods and non-alcoholic drinks high in fat, salt and sugar. This will include products such as chocolate bars, sugary drinks and burgers.

Khan proposed the ban in May and the mayor's online discussion platform, Talk London, received 1,500 responses to the consultation, with an 82% approval rating for the proposal.
Khan described the crisis of childhood obesity as a "ticking timebomb."
"It's clear that advertising plays a huge part in the choices we make, whether we realize it or not, and Londoners have shown overwhelming support for a ban on adverts for junk food and drink on our transport network," he said in a statement.
"It's completely unacceptable that in a city as prosperous as London, where you live and the amount you earn can have a massive impact on whether you have access to healthy, nutritious food. I'm determined to change this," he added.
Khan also noted that obesity is putting the lives of young Londoners at risk and placing "huge pressure on our already strained health service." Research by City Hall revealed that London has some of the highest child overweight and obesity rates in Europe, with close to 40% of children aged 10 and 11 overweight or obese.
Children in London's poorest areas were also found to be disproportionately affected, with young people in Barking and Dagenham almost twice as likely to be overweight as children from the more prosperous borough of Richmond.
Khan's announcement was welcomed by leading health campaigners, including chef Jamie Oliver, who described the move as "amazing."
Lilli Matson, director of transport strategy at TfL, noted that advertising on London's transport network reaches a diverse audience of all ages, and consequently plays a crucial role in the health of Londoners.
The announcement comes a day after figures were released showing a sharp rise in the number of children and young people across Britain being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Nearly 7,000 young Britons now suffer from the disease, which is directly linked to obesity.
"Obesity is a crisis that must be tackled on several fronts, but restricting advertisements for these products across the TfL network will help people in London make healthier choices day-to-day," said Chris Askew, chief executive of Diabetes UK. "We look forward to these restrictions coming into force next year and hope other transport systems across the UK take note."

Colombia's cosmopolitan capital city is a destination of many personalities —cutting-edge malls and boutiques right alongside historic marketplaces, colonial buildings resting in the shadow of shimmering glass skyscrapers, ultra-modern museums, galleries and restaurants punctuated by tranquil plazas and leafy parks. No matter what you came to discover, you'll find it in Bogotá.
The city can be both unfamiliar and exciting or warm, welcoming and comfortable. From its quiet parks to its buzzing academic community to its love of great food and wine, Bogotá will sweep you up in a deep comforting embrace that will keep your head spinning for days.
For more information on Bogotá attractions, please visit the Bogotá Department of Culture, Recreation and Sport and District Institute of Tourism.
Medellín manages to pull off a neat trick – one of Colombia's most sprawling cities happens to also be one of its safest and most welcoming. Tucked among scenic mountain peaks, which embrace the city from all four sides, Medellín's views alone are worth the visit. The city boasts warm temperatures throughout the year, making any time the ideal time to come and enjoy everything the city has to offer. Downtown's quaint, narrow avenues and wide, leafy thorough fares are bustling with locals and tourists enjoying the many diverse restaurants, museums and shopping boutiques.
Stroll through the exclusive, elegant and upscale El Poblado neighbourhood, whose Zona Rosa district features scenic Parque Lleras along with hip nightclubs, restaurants and bars. In the evening Parque Poblado draws a stylish crowd from across the city to socialise and sip cocktails. Discover the ultra-chic boutiques and restaurants at Santa Fe Shopping Mall or just take in the relaxing scene at Medellín's many parks and plazas. If you're looking to escape the downtown crowds, the charming towns just outside the city offer plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventures, eco-tours and recreation.

For a wide range of activities and things to do in Bogotá and Medellín– whether it's dinner at a top restaurant, a day of browsing museums or a visit to the many historic sites –the bh Hoteles staff is available to make recommendations and assist with arranging tours, excursions and recreational activities.
In Barranquilla, where the Magdalena River meets the Caribbean Sea, any street becomes a party. You don't need to visit during the famous Carnival to see a spontaneous crowd dancing around a makeshift stage to instruments such as drums, maracas, and millet flutes. Here, joy belongs to everyone.
Barranquilla is known as the Golden Gate of Colombia because in the late nineteenth century it served as an entrance into the country for passengers and goods. Barranquilla was also a pioneer of commercial aviation in 1919. The capital of the Atlántico is distinguished for the Republican-era architecture in the neighborhood of El Prado, as well as its museums, beaches, and festivals. In the surrounding area, tourists can visit creeks, marshes, and other natural attractions.

When two actors purchased their West Village abode, it came with a 180-degree view of the Hudson River—and a frenetic series of odd angles and partitioned-off spaces. Designer Suchi Reddy renovated the interiors, keeping the bank of windows unobstructed while folding in a fleet of modern furnishings and built-ins. "My directive was to create something very comfortable, calm, textural, and modern," explains Reddy, who used a palette of reclaimed oak, bleached wood floors, blonde millwork, and white plaster. "It's a space where you want to linger," she says.

I had also difficulty to choose from six simultaneous tracks. So many people, so many good presentations and so little time during one day (and night of course). Next year they are planning this as a two day event.
Mr. Josh James, the CEO and co-founder of Omniture, praised their organization and number of customer, but he also told product news like Recommendations, Merchandising, Discover OnPremise for Retail and other announcements like 24/7 AdStream integration and Developer Connection. To be honest, and looking at innovation and pace of development, Omniture has a great offering for business optimization. Josh James' primary message was:
"The world is changing. Mobile web, online videos, social media as well as widgets are growing fast and therefor you need a strategy for interactive media and online business optimization."Mark Read, the CEO of WPP Digital had a same kind of message to the audience:
"Times for traditional media will be tough and the sift to digital media is growing. There will be growth especially in social media and mobile web."David Walmsley, Head of Web Selling at John Lewis Direct, introduced their three blocks how to build an analytics driven online strategy:
- Having the right organization
- Developing an analytics driven culture
- Obsessing over the customer experience
Nick Heys, Founder & CEO of Emailvision, told in his keynote that email marketing ROI was $45 for every dollar in 2008. That's amazing and confirms what my expreriences are in several customer projects:
"Email marketing can be very effective, but beware: plan your communication strategy with you clients carefully, don't spam!"I liked a lot Ed Thompson speaking, the VP Distinguished Analyst from Gartner Group. First he reminded us one cliché from several people:
"A downturn (or a crisis) is a terrible thing to waste."According their researches business leaders will cut operating costs (68 %) but they will keep investing on information technology (48 %), sales (47 %) and marketing (33 %) because:
"Deeper sales and marketing strategies sort winners from loosers."I totally agree with him and I see the shift in our business daily. And I'm not probably the first one to brake this transition because our business and company is growing. During the couple of years we are more and more a strategic partner to our key customers. I encourage every company to use different sources to take more and more data drive decisions.
But, to be honest and realistic, for many companies it's a long long way from looking at website visitors (95 %) to business intelligence solutions (<5 %) in their own analytics maturity model. When you add social media, rich content and applications and mobile web usage, how hard it can be to understand the customer experience as a whole?
I saw Discover OnPremises (former Visual Sciences) measuring different point of sales, SiteCatalyst integrating with Twitter and doing video tracking, Survey collecting the Voice of Customer and much more. To wrap us this post, I think Omniture is defenitely awake and and one of the leading companies in the field. How about you, tell me your experiences and thoughts. Or you can check out these two videos to get little feeling just before the event.

Title: Research and development new symbiotic product and its clinical effect
Introduction: Currently, the functional food is recognized as an alternative to pharmacotherapy. The objective of research is a synbiotic product "NAR", which includes probiotics and prebiotics. Probiotics are presented by cultures of Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacteriumlongum, Bifidobacteriumbifidum. The product is also enriched with fish collagen.The goal of this work is to investigate the clinical efficacy of a new synbiotic. Method: Double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial, including 180 adult (age 30-89) with symptomes of metabolic syndrome whowere allocated to placebo or synbiotic group. We enrolled 90 adult in placebo group and 90 in synbiotic group. The two groups were similar for demographic and clinical characteristics. All patients signed a consent letter. The main criteria for inclusion were: Blood pressure: 130/90 mmHg; Raised fastingplasma glucose (FPG): >100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L), or previously diagnosed type 2 diabetes; Dyslipidemia: triglycerides (TG): =1.695 mmol/L and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) =0.9 mmol/L (male), =1.0 mmol/L (female); Central obesity:waist:hip ratio >0.90 (male); >0.85 (female), or body mass index >30 kg/m2. All patients underwent clinical and laboratory evaluation, including completeblood tests, glucose test, glycosylated hemoglobin, total cholesterol + triglycerides, cholesterol, LDL, HDL plasma, immunogram, co-program. All patients were interviewed, the questionnaire included 200 questions related to diet, lifestyle and health. Synbiotic were used by patients in dose of 200 grams twice a day. The duration of applying the symbiotic were 90 days. Results: In the study group the percentage of colds were significantly lower than in placebo group, the majority of patients reported an improvement in abdominal discomfort, reduction in serum total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein, weight loss of 8-9 percent in different age groups, stabilized frequency and consistency of stool (judging by the Bristol scale). Conclusion: As a result was exhibited the efficacy of a new synbiotic in adult with metabolic syndrome.

Young travelers can be seen anywhere, the population of backpackers are generally young, fearless, and sometimes out of hand. I've seen a lot of accidents during my travels that I thought can be avoided if only they aren't too reckless, you might say "That's the point of that holiday, being young, wild, and free!". Sure it's fun, but it won't be when you fall sick from eating exotic food adventure, or ended up in the hospital for broken bones (those are lucky situations). Here are some safe travel tips that would help you be safe (or at least a reminder) for real young travelers and at heart.
When teenagers embark on a journey, many risks lie ahead of them. They may get lost before reaching their desired destination, they can run out of gas and cash in the middle of nowhere and others are involved in very serious road accidents.
Worse of all, young people can fall sick due to change of weather or even change of environment. Another problem that is often encountered by young people as they travel around is communication barrier. With no communication, it becomes extremely difficult to move around freely.
Some of these tragedies can be avoided if some of the following things are considered before travelling.
Money is very crucial when it comes to planning any travel adventure. All teenagers are advised to have enough cash to enable them fulfill all their desires. It is not advised to carry huge sums of cash while travelling because an incident like robbery would mean disaster.
It is good to ensure that one can access money via several reliable means. Before embarking on any journey, teenagers are encouraged to have access to an online bank or credit card that can be used anywhere as long as there is internet connectivity.
{Ensure you have knowledge and skills that can be another resource of travel income, this is something no one can steal. Read my tips on How to Travel Cheap to help you figure… –Ed.}
A domestic cell phone carrier may be a good idea but when long distances are involved, it becomes difficult or impossible to communicate with friends and relatives. Fortunately in our modern days, there are lots of options that a teen can decide to keep in touch.
Some of the most common ways to keep in touch is through the internet. The internet allows teenagers to communicate through social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. Skype also offers video chats that are very important as teens can communicate with parents as though they are in the same room.
{Buy a local sim card, it's way cheaper than using a roaming sim you have from your country. –Ed.}
When travelling to an unknown place, it is important to ensure that all persona effects are well looked after. Wallets should not be left hanging in the back pockets and the bags should not be left unattended to.
It is also not advisable to travel alone because some simple problems may require more than one person to solve them. Two people are also able to motivate each other when a crisis arises.
{If you're travelling solo, bundle up with other cool travel friends you've met, just be vigilant and smart all the time. Keep safe. –Ed.}
It is good to know the basic things about the place that one intends to visit. Some of the things to consider is the language used, currency that the locals are using, mode of transport and the security of the place. These facts enable one to make special arrangements like looking for a translator, when and where to visit, where to lodge and where to look for help if need be
Recent research shows that many teenagers are arrested by law enforcers while they are away travelling. One of the greatest mistake that young people make is driving under the influence of alcohol. In most countries in the world, it is against the law to drink and drive. This can attract huge fines or deportation and this cuts short the planned journey.
Hence all teenagers are advised to adhere to the laws of the country they are in.
These are some of the things that all teenagers should keep in mind before embarking on any journey. They should also remember to carry their national identification cards or passports for ease of movement.

The internet is buzzing with teachers who are loving Wendy Steven's new Halloween pieces. These are early elementary level pieces, with fun sound effects your students can add. Although beginning level, they are not babyish, so they can be used for all ages of children who want a Halloween piece. I love the art on the covers. I think it's important to have good looking covers for the elementary age group.
Hop on over to her blog to watch the video and listen to these new pieces, published by Willis Music. You can also see a sample of the music.
The videos are not long so it will take less than a minute to watch them both. This is such a great way to showcase new music! I wish every new piece could be featured this way, don't you? Composers, take note. Maybe even I will give it a try!

* 96 percent of women who get detected and treated early will survive.
* Women who breastfeed reduce their risk of developing breast cancer by as much as 25 percent. The reduction in cancer risk comes in proportion to the cumulative lifetime duration of breastfeeding. That is, the more months or years a mother breastfeeds, the lower her risk of breast cancer.
* Recent research confirms that women who are happy in their marriage are more likely to survive breast cancer, compared to women who are divorced or single.Women who are undergoing separation have the lowest survival rates.

This mix is sufficient for 2 people, if more is required simply multiply the mix.

- Enjoy!!

I made this recipe quantity and it turned out 12 modest (due to tin size) individual puddings. Perfect for 3 of us though I only managed two. 'Remainders' were hoovered up post second helpings of roast! These were not flying away to the roof of the cooker but rose very nicely and tasted delicious. Listen to 'Mam' - these are tasty and good. I like the idea of 4 of each main ingredient plus egg. Means one can carry the recipe in one's head if needed. I didn't have sausage fat but I can imagine that they would be truly out-of-this-world with it.

Lots of new music coming out lately, haven't had time to listen to it much and since Paco pretty much 99.9% retired from informing the public about good stuff, I thought I'd mention this new(ish) great record from Genghis Tron called "Board Up The House" – it's pretty good considering that GT's previous work left me intrigued but not very impressed. I mean we will always have An Albatross or Agoraphobic Nosebleed, but this last work by GT is impressive: less grindcore and electronics, more good old fashioned rocking and yelling and generally making-noise material.

Sarah (Van) Palin Obsession
As I am told, Palin is pronounced the same way as Halen in "Van Halen" – probably not a very good association for this conservative VP candidate – as everyone and their mother are talking about her, I cannot stop thinking about this particular choice. Clearly, I don't have the grasp of politics that would allow me to launch into a detailed analysis of what this selection means for the upcoming election. What surprised me the most was an orchestrated campaign to praise this choice by right-wing circuit: I mean I realize that most of the things said about her are going to be partisan, but the whole thing leaves even the most cynical part of me wondering about the present political discourse and its crushing ability to talk up or talk down basically anybody. In a sense, this move by McCain shows that whoever told him to do this, knew that it is all about likability of the person, not about the political credentials – I know I've been reading about how people vote with the gut, not their head, but this is becoming a bit ridiculous… I mean watch this, for example, – really? Do Republicans really think that people are complete morons? Continue reading

Seyla Benhabib Interview
Seyla Benhabib interviewed by Karin Wahl-Jorgensen:
Seyla Benhabib: Political philosophy has been my first orientation in philosophy for a very long time. What motivated this was primarily the fact that I'm the generation of the student movement. And the kinds of questions that we seemed to be asking in '68 led to a certain intellectual orientation. Thirty years ago (1977) I wrote my dissertation on Hegel's political philosophy, on a comparison of his concept of right with the natural rights tradition. Before that, my senior thesis was on Hobbes. So this is a long standing concern and interest. Of course, over the years one evolves and changes. The most important recent shift came around mid-90s after I started working more empirically on questions of multiculturalism, citizenship and immigration within the European Union. I took a more institutionalist and empirical turn by beginning to look at some concrete discussions. Immersing myself in the new literature about European Union, immigration and women's rights, I had a feeling that to be able to do the political philosophy of the present as opposed to studying the history of political thought. One had to come to grips with the society around one and with the transformations that were taking place in the current moment.

Why I had to recognise Georgia's breakaway regions
By Dmitry Medvedev
Published: August 26 2008
On Tuesday Russia recognised the independence of the territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. It was not a step taken lightly, or without full consideration of the consequences. But all possible outcomes had to be weighed against a sober understanding of the situation – the histories of the Abkhaz and Ossetian peoples, their freely expressed desire for independence, the tragic events of the past weeks and inter national precedents for such a move.
Not all of the world's nations have their own statehood. Many exist happily within boundaries shared with other nations. The Russian Federation is an example of largely harmonious coexistence by many dozens of nations and nationalities. But some nations find it impossible to live under the tutelage of another. Relations between nations living "under one roof" need to be handled with the utmost sensitivity. To continue reading, go here.
Почему я был вынужден признать области, отделившиеся от Грузии
Дмитрий Медведев (Reference: Inopressa)
The Lobotomist
Thanks to this BBC 4 documentary about surgery (I'm not in the UK, so I had to download the torrent which is of a great quality) – Blood and Guts: A History of Surgery – I got to also enjoy this PBS program on Walter "The Lobotomist" Freeman:
"The precipitous rise and fall of lobotomy raises important questions about medical innovation," says filmmaker Barak Goodman. "At what point do interventions meant to alleviate suffering begin to conflict with essential human qualities?"
It was hailed by the New York Times as "surgery of the soul," a groundbreaking medical procedure that promised hope to the most distressed mentally ill patients and their families. But what began as an operation of last resort was soon being performed at some fifty state asylums, often to devastating results. Little more than a decade after his rise to fame, Walter Freeman, the neurologist who championed the procedure, was decried as a moral monster, and lobotomy one of the most barbaric mistakes of modern medicine.
American Experience presents The Lobotomist, the gripping and tragic story of an ambitious doctor, the desperate families who sought his help, and the medical establishment that embraced him. From award-winning producers Barak Goodman and John Maggio (The Boy in the Bubble, The Fight), this one-hour film features interviews with Dr. Freeman's former patients and their families, his students, and medical historians, and offers an unprecedented look at one of the darkest chapters in psychiatric history.
The great lesson of lobotomy, of course, is the issue of surgical intervention and mental illness: with the mind/body distinction between progressively disregarded by both folks in the medical profession and those of us on the humanities side, is there a future lobotomy-like procedure that is bound for a comeback?

Did you read that complaints page carefully ?
It was from people who say they didn't get delivery, there are about 10 complaints total.
What you need to understand is this, a diet / workout program which sells tens of thousands of copies yearly, will have a tiny percentage of people entering their e-mail incorrectly so they don't get the download link and so on, this happens all the time. Then they go into insanity mode and start throwing their arms in the air instead of just contacting the vendor, it's pretty absurd to suggest that a product selling tens of thousands of copies a year which has a flawless Better Business Bureau report actually doesn't exist and all they do is take people's money with no product.
What on earth would be the point of us reviewing it , we would simply avoid it like the plague, and review products that arn't scams.
It doesn't make a product a scam, lets use the word scam when something actually is.
We have actually purchased this product ourselves we know 100% it's legitimate, where do you think the entire review came from, that we guessed it ???
We allowed your comment because it's worth people seeing that the only complaints against this program are not that it didn't work or that the quality wasn't good but that a few people managed to not get delivery, that happens with every electronic type report in existence.
FBF is a best seller on Clickbank , has a flawless Better Business Bureau record, and zero complaints at Clickbank.
Sorry but it's very misleading to call something a scam based on a few people who didn't receive their e-book immediately.

Legal Industry Gives New Meaning! To Taking Care Of Our Own!
Texas State Bar Board says "hell no" to increased legal consumer protections
Posted: 29 Jan 2010 08:47 PM PST
With a vote of 39 to 1, the Texas State Bar Board of Directors voted today to recommend to the Supreme Court of Texas that legal clients not receive additional consumer protections that would flow from "customers" being informed as to whether or not their lawyers carry professional liability (aka malpractice) insurance.
Here's the deal. When you go to a doctor, except for seriously flaked-out circumstances, he/she has professional liability insurance (PLI). The same is increasingly true for other professionals. It's the cost of being a prudent business operator in today's litigious society. And what causes today's society to be so litigious?
One influence is certainly the entitlement mentality shepherding our country's migration into the Land of the Gimme-Gimmes and the Home of the I-Want-Mores. Another influence - the legal industry, those who help perpetuate society's ability to pursue frivolous or baseless legal action.
The pursuit of justice can be a righteous act. Other times, though, it's opportunism. But worst of all, contrived legal disputes are becoming increasingly common.
It's a great gig to wield a double-edged sword of potential prosperity by pursuing business entities through either litigation or the prospect of a lucrative insurance settlement. And along the way, corrupt and blatantly dishonest - even criminal - acts can and do occur.
At EstateofDenial.com, we follow cases in which probate venues and probate instruments (wills, trusts, guardianships and powers of attorney) are used to loot assets of the dead, disabled or incapacitated. Assaulting the personal freedom and lifelong asset accumulation of honest, hard-working Americans is an ugly business being seen with greater frequency.
The legal industry wants disputes between lawyers and clients relegated to Bar-operated disciplinary processes viewed by many as, at best, neutered. Despite sometimes obvious criminality, law enforcement is often resistant to act therefore relegating legal abuse victims to pay-to-play civil venues.
With the "self-policing" legal industry poised to protect its own and civil courts providing expense recourse that is out-of-reach to many complainants, potential pressures toward consumer protections such as liability insurance pose one last threat. Talk about an industry that knows how to give it but not how to take it.
Today's vote sends a clear message that the legal industry wants to maintain an uneven playing field. Whether here in Texas or elsewhere, people should be concerned.

Notes from Editor:
Previously we talked about how *mothers guilty of victimless crimes such as simple drug possession were given life sentences with no chance for parole for 15 years, in contrast the legal industry (racket) gets slaps in the wrists for crimes involving multiple victims whose life have been disrupted by the theft of lifetimes of toil, hard work and savings for the golden age which has now become the nightmare from hell from which there is no recourse other than civil litigation which most older victims are unable to pursue because of age, time and money constraints.
EstateOfDenial.Com deserves the highest level of recognition and support for tireless continuing to document the continual abuse by legal practitioners of the captive audience, which is vulnerable elders who turn to them for help.
With the light sentences, often commuted,forgiven,in lieu of probation, agreements of reimbursement, most often not honored , is then any wonder that the crime of elder financial abuse continues un abated by the same people whose facade is to protect the people they often prey upon?
The amount of corruption by the self policing legal industry is beyond the scope of this blog and the study and documentation there of would fill volumes....
Again hats of to EoD for continuing to document these abuses:
- Rondos heads to jail
- Lawyers' 'inheritance' of Simon estate escalates
- Graziano attorney claims entrapment

A disturbing number of people throughout our part of the country say they will not leave home even if they are ordered to do so because of an approaching hurricane.
That is especially hard to believe when we need to look back only three years to remind ourselves of the death and destruction hurricanes can bring.
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita dealt a crippling blow to much of our state and left many without homes, jobs or loved ones.
Like everyone else, we hope each year that the hurricanes that form steer clear of our homes and businesses.
But we must also remain aware of and prepared for the possibility that one will come this way.
If it does, it will be crucial for people to listen to the advice our experts have, most importantly whether we should evacuate or it�s safe to stay put.
Shockingly, one of the top reasons people gave for saying they would stay here is that they are worried about the dangers of getting out.
Certainly, the dangers of trying to ride out a serious hurricane are greater than the dangers of leaving.
The only explanation for this line of thought is that people believe that they will live safely through a hurricane. Again, we don�t need long-term memories to conjure up the horrifying images broadcast daily during and after Hurricane Katrina.
And even those who do plan to leave aren�t necessarily going to make themselves safer.
A lot of folks say they will only go 10 miles from home.
Even with the difficulties associated with travel, it is best to get out of harm�s way � and that means out of the area if it�s being evacuated.
Many of those who will need help evacuating admit that they have made not preparations for getting the help they need.
These facts � turned up in a survey released late last week, fly in the face of all the messages we get from public-safety officials who say the most-important thing is to be prepared.
There isn�t anything we can do to prevent hurricanes, but we can all take steps now to prepare for the possibility of one arriving.
We should have extra medication, some clothing, some money and our important documents in an easy-to-grab pack that we can take with us. We also should plan now for getting help if we need it.
That cannot wait until the last minute. And it really could be the difference between life and death.
Editorials represent the opinions of this newspaper, and not of any one person.
They can't be serious
A disturbing number of people throughout our part of the country say they will not leave home even if they are ordered to do so because of an approaching hurricane.

Twin Grey Seal Pups a First in the Wild
DNA analysis confirms the unprecedented event.
Two seal pups have been confirmed by DNA analysis as twins, the world's first recording of twin grey seals born in the wild, BBC reports.
The unprecedented duo was born last year on November 28, on Horsey Gap beach, near the English coastal town of Great Yarmouth in Norfolk.
From their birth, the new seals were watched closely by the conservation group Friends of Horsey Seals. In early December the pups were abandoned by their mother, who stopped feeding them.
The Horsey Seals group arranged for their rescue and transfer to the RSPCA Wildlife Hospital, where the pair currently resides.
Norway's Institute of Marine Research performed the DNA tests and said the pups were the first known instance of grey seal twins being born in the world.
"Our pups will go into the history books as being the very first twin grey seals ever recorded," said Friends of Horsey Seals' David Vyse, in a statement.
Vyse said the twins -- dubbed C3PO and R2Ds -- would likely by set free, back on Horsey Beach, later this month, the exact date yet to be determined.
The video below was captured by Youtuber and photographer Norfolk Images, which was lucky enough to be on hand just after the twins' birth:
Soon after their entry into the world, the twin grey seals began to cause a stir, their area cordoned off to keep the public from getting too close.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is celebrating "30 Days of the Ocean" in the month of June, and in honor of the organization's hat-tip to life undersea, we take a look, this final June weekend, at some of the organization's captivating marine life snapshots. Here, the eyes of a queen conch (
Strombus gigas
) peek out from under its shell in La Parguera, Puerto Rico.
Kelp and sardines, just doing what they do, off Anacapa Island, Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary.
This school of permits contains 60-80 individuals, each more than a foot long. The school was observed in the Dry Tortugas, Florida.
A Caribbean spiny lobster strolls on the sea floor. This photo was shot during a 2010 NOAA expedition in the U.S. Virgin Islands to map underwater habitats and the marine life they support.
DNA testing confirmed that the eggs pictured here were those of a loggerhead turtle, a marine reptile species listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The testing was done by NOAA's Center for Coastal Environmental Health and Biomolecular Research, in Charleston, S.C., the only lab in the country dedicated to forensic analysis of marine species.
This manta ray coasts over a reef, in the process inviting much smaller fish to clean parasites and other debris off of it. Manta Rays are the largest type of ray in the ocean.
Make way for the balloonfish, also known as a porcupine or spiny puffer fish. As its name suggests, it will swell up like a balloon when attacked.
Here we see a close-up of brain coral in the Dry Tortugas, Florida.
Off the California coast, a group of elephant seals sleeps in the sun on a sand dune on Active Point, San Miguel Island, part of the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary.
With its distinctive reddish and white stripes, its gracefully flowing fins, and its menacing spine, not many fish can embody the beauty, mystery, and danger of the ocean quite like the lionfish. Although it's native to the Indo-Pacific region, lionfish were introduced to the Atlantic and are now found along the U.S. coast, from North Carolina to Florida, and in the Bahamas and Caribbean. The lionfish spells trouble for the balance of ecosystems and fisheries it invades, as it can out-compete native species for food and space. It lacks predators, has a voracious appetite, reproduces quicly, and is spreading fast.

Utah State 57 - 58 Marquette
Marquette holds off Utah State in first roundMar 20, 2009 - 9:47 PM BOISE, Idaho (AP) -- Lazar Hayward scored Marquette's first and last points.
He had plenty of big plays in between, too, scoring 26 to lead the Golden Eagles to a 58-57 win over Utah State in the first round of the West Regional.
Hayward, who was averaging 16 points, scored Marquette's first 10 points and was almost perfect from the foul line as the Golden Eagles held off the Aggies.
"He's a big-time player and I still don't think he gets enough credit," said Wesley Matthews, who had 11 points for Marquette. "If you want to play off of Lazar that's fine. We'll just pass it to him all the time."
The Golden Eagles blew a 14-point lead, then overcame a 49-43 deficit. Hayward spurred the comeback, muscling for key baskets and rebounds and drawing a couple of big fouls.
Hayward and Matthews both shot 5-for-6 from the foul line, where the Golden Eagles (25-9) ended up winning the game. Marquette hit 14 of 17 free throws in the second half, making 10 straight during a late stretch that put the Golden Eagles back up for good.
"For us to have a chance, we definitely have to get to the free throw line," said Marquette coach Buzz Williams, who made his NCAA tournament debut.
Jerel McNeal added 14 points for sixth-seeded Marquette, which will play Missouri in the second round.
Hayward, whose free throw with six seconds left gave Marquette a 58-54 lead, also tied for the team lead with eight rebounds. Marquette pulled down 10 of the game's first 12 boards and led by as much as 14 in the first half with a quick pace the Aggies (30-5) couldn't match.
The Golden Eagles stumbled early in the second half and ended up trailing by six, then regrouped at the end. Once Marquette got the Western Athletic Conference champion Aggies in foul trouble, the Golden Eagles sealed it from the foul line.
"When we had the ball, they made sure we were attacking," said Hayward, who was one off his career high of 27 points.
Marquette made 19 of 23 free throws Utah State to just eight foul shots -- two of which the Aggies missed as they were knocked out in the opening round in their fourth straight tournament appearance.
"We battled back in the second half and really gave ourselves a chance to win," Utah State coach Stew Morrill said. "I thought Marquette did a really great job getting to the free throw line and that was probably the difference."
Jared Quayle led Utah State with 18 points. The 11th-seeded Aggies recovered from a dismal first half by shooting 12-for-20 to start the second half.
Hayward put Marquette back up 52-51 on two free throws with 1:45 left and the Golden Eagles led the rest of the way, although Utah State did make one final push.
Pooh Williams scooped up a loose ball and banked in a 3-pointer as the shot clock wound down to get Utah State within 56-54 with 23 seconds left. The Aggies then got another break when McNeal went 1-for-2 from the line after a quick foul with 18 seconds remaining.
But Gary Wilkinson's 3-point attempt for Utah State that would've tied it clanged off the rim, Hayward got the rebound and sealed it with another free throw.
"It felt good coming off," Wilkinson said. "It was just short."
The Golden Eagles drew a quick foul after the rebound and hit another free throw to seal it.
Wilkinson finished with 15 points, but only four rebounds. Tai Wesley scored 11 of his 15 points in the second half before fouling out in the final minute.
The Aggies, whose 30 wins were second only to Memphis entering the tournament, haven't won an NCAA game since 2001.
"It doesn't take a genius to figure out them getting to the free throw line was huge and that we were stunned by their athleticism and pressure initially in the game," Morrill said.
Marquette won despite shooting just 38 percent in the second half. The Big East representatives controlled the first half, pulling down 10 of the first 12 rebounds and leading by as much as 14 before Utah State rushed out of halftime with a 10-0 run.
After a 3-pointer by Maurice Acker put Marquette up 29-18, Utah State scored the next 10 points -- getting six from Wesley on two layups and a dunk as the Aggies passed the ball around to clear out room inside. Jared Quayle also hit a 3-pointer during the run, which had the large contingent that made the four-hour drive from northern Utah finally gave the fans something to cheer.
Hayward gave the Golden Eagles a little room on a jumper from the top of the key that made it 43-38, then the Aggies reeled off eight straight points. Quayle broke a 43-all tie with a 3-pointer, giving the Aggies their first lead of the game and Tyler Newbold hit again from beyond-the-arc to put Utah State up 49-43.
Wary of Utah State's precision offense, the Golden Eagles played defense that turned the Aggies' schemes into a chaotic mess. Utah State rushed difficult shots and the Golden Eagles kept the Aggies away from most of the rebounds.
"We weren't really ready for their pressure," Wesley said. "They were kind of taking us out of our offense."

The Gott Collection at The Hepworth Wakefield
Art Gallery, free entry
The Hepworth Team
Gallery Walk,
An important attraction for visitors is the rarely seen Gott Collection, gifted to the City's art collection in 1930. The Gott Collection was assembled in the 19th Century by John Gott (1830-1906), Vicar of Leeds and later Bishop of Truro, and his father William (1797-1863), a wool merchant. It was presented to Wakefield Art Gallery in 1930 by Frank Green, a Yorkshire industrialist and philanthropist. The bound 10-volume collection includes 1,200 images, consisting of 65 watercolours, 315 drawings, 749 prints (including hand-coloured prints and one albumen print) and 50 double-sided letterpress pages from a book. It is arguably the finest surviving collection in the region, with over 200 Yorkshire villages, towns and cities depicted within its pages.
Through funding by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation this unique resource including maps, topographical drawings and watercolours will be made publicly accessible. Collectively they show how Yorkshire has long been a place of artistic inspiration.
Located opposite The Hepworth Wakefield, the Chantry Chapel is a major city landmark that can be viewed from the gallery. It proved to be a popular subject for a number of 18th and 19th century artists. In addition, the collection includes a group of work by regional topographical artists such as John Buckler (1770-1851), John Coney (1786-1833), Rev. Thomas Kilby (1794-1868) and Louisa Fennell (1847-1930) that provide a fascinating visual history of the development of Wakefield and the surrounding area.
The Gott Collection Conservation and Digitisation Project is supported by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.

The German-Chinese Bilateral Approach
An Economic and Human Rights Summit in BeijingMay 25th, 2018
Other Stories
On May 24th, 2018, German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, stressed that improved ties with China are a much-needed step towards greater market access for German companies in China.
Chancellor Merkel's trip to China took place when tensions in Beijing and the European Union have risen over trade relations with the United States, as well as United States President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.
The leaders agreed upon a continuous discussion with North Korea, after both Washington and Pyongyang threatened to withdraw from what would be a historic summit scheduled for June 12. Chancellor Merkel is aiming for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Both sides seek further cooperation by arranging regular bilateral meetings, not just on business and trade, but also on human rights.
In other words, Germany and China have recognized the significance of the trans-Atlantic relationship the shared history, cultural affinity and the mutual security provided through NATO, despite facing increased tension and less common ground with Washington. Berlin and Beijing have decried President Trump's decision to walk away from the Iranian nuclear accord, while both also face potential "punitive trade tariffs by [President] Trump's administration."
As a result, leaders from Germany, who do business with China, have requested an easing of conditions and introduction of greater market access with China. Germany has realized that its relationship with the United States has dramatically changed since President Trump took office. Even so, German-Chinese relations cannot make up for Germany's frosty relationship with the United States. Although economic ties with China are promising, politically, German-Chinese collaboration would be found eccentric. For decades, Germany's strongest ally outside Europe has been in Washington. Consequently, Germany must work even harder for a united European Union, and endeavor to rejuvenate the trans-Atlantic relationship.

Anyone who has ever spent time doing business in Japan will tell you that it is a land of contrasts; technologically innovative and modern yet traditional and hierarchical. Japan boasts excellence in sectors as wide-ranging as finance, automotive, computing and pharmaceuticals and is viewed as a major global influence – even despite the recent economic rise of China and India. The county is deemed as 'mostly free' in terms of economic freedom, with businesses able to operate without the hindrance of excessive government controls. The nation also scores highly on the World Bank's scale for ranking business ease.
However, despite the World Bank's assessment economic challenges arise as the country faces a low-birth date, an ageing population and lack of reform. It is important to note that steps taken through the Japanese government's "Abenomics" policy, based upon the three key aspects of monetary easing, fiscal stimulus and structural reforms, have made a positive impact on deflation. Where the obstacles often lie when doing business in Japan is in communication misunderstandings.
Japanese business professionals often employ "coded speech" where what one publicly says and how they appear (tatemae) does not necessarily align with what one is thinking or what one means (honne). The result can be vague instructions and misinterpretation which is why it is strongly advisable to ask for clarification and remain patient.
Communication is often closely intertwined with culture and customs and taking the time to understand all three is imperative if you wish to do business successfully and sustainably in Japan. This is especially the case as, out of all the world's business cultures, doing business in Japan is strongly relationship-driven. Consensus and cooperation are integral elements of Japanese business hierarchies and meetings. The concept of wa or harmony lies at the heart of business meetings, and it is not recommended to offer strong opinions or cause confrontation which might upset the balance of wa.
In order to maintain a sense of wa and build strong relationships, an understanding of Japanese culture is required. The World Business Culture website offers a wealth of information and tips on how to interpret Japanese culture and understand the business structures and economy to ensure you are well-prepared when doing business in Japan.
