Soon therafter, he became the percussionist of Eddy Louiss's band with whom he toured and recorded for the next ten years. Concurrently, Abdou taught percussion at Loisirs et Culture music school in France and founded the jazz fusion band Sixun.
In the years to come, Abdou's career has only expanded. He has toured and recorded in Africa, Europe, America, Southeastern Asia, Japan, Nepal and India. From the 1990s until now, Abdou has written original composition for Jean Luc Ponty, Pharoah Sanders Tom Tom Club and Randy Weston. As a player, he has collaborated with Manu Dibango, Michel Petrucciani, Richard Galliano, Michel Portal, Claude Nougaro, Didier Malherbe, Johnny Clegg, Bill Laswell, Nina Simone, Toots Thielemans, John Lurie, Africa Bambata, Chico Freeman, Craig Harris, David Murray, Joe Zawinul Syndicate, Bob Stewart, Joe Chambers, Buster Williams, Wycliffe Gordon, Harry Belafonte, George Cables, Ron Carter, Steve Turre, Jon Faddis, Billy Higgins,Tom Tom Club, Ronny Jordan, Carla Cook, Kenny Barron, Jason Moran, Regina Carter.

Trina Who's Bad? Beats: L Lyrics: L Originality: L Say what you want about Trina, but she sure is consistent. On her 2000 debut, the Miami madam proclaimed she was Da Baddest Bitch and last year she reaffirmed that she was Still Da Baddest. With the music world still mourning the passing of Michael Jackson, it makes sense that Trina would use the King of Pop's 1987 opus, Bad, as inspiration for her latest mixtape, Who's Bad? MJ fans need not worry about Trina trying to flip any of his classic beats, as she keeps her sound focused on Southern bounce and only evokes Michael's ...Read More

I have a Darkrai for offer. Looking for a Deoxys.
Warning! The Darkrai itself is legit, however it was obtained artificially using the walk through walls code with an action replay. He was caught in an ultra ball on New Moon.
The Darkrai is completely untouched. It is of a naughty nature.
I preferably want a legit Deoxys, (can be obtained in a similar matter as my Darkrai, but no spawning your own, please) but any event legendary would suffice.
Thank you for your consideration!
P.S. If required, this could also be done through a friends fifth gen game.

Things to Do in Prague
Historic meets avant-garde in Prague. Discover 10 activities in the Czech capital that strike a balance between the city's historic sites and its vibrant new culture.Filed under:
Prague Castle
Dating back to the 9th century, the Prague Castle complex is home to the Bohemian Crown Jewels, the office of the president, courtyards, shops and countless other sights that shouldn't be missed. Open daily, Prague Castle is the largest castle in the world. Though many areas of the castle are free, it's worth the price of admission to tour St. Vitus Cathedral. Other attractions include the changing of the guard, castle gardens (open from April 1 to Oct. 31) and Golden Lane shops. The castle is not well-marked, so bring a map.

VIDEO: FOX's SYTYCD Opens with Iconic Number from Broadway's ON THE TOWN
Last week is was announced that Broadway's On The Town and FOX's "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE" were teaming up to offer the winner of Season 11 a role in this fall's Broadway revival, marking an exciting new addition to the TV series' prize. The show's winner, crowned "America's Favorite Dancer," will be offered the opportunity to join the On The Town cast in Spring 2015.
Last night on FOX, On The Town choreographer Joshua Bergasse (Emmy Award winner for Smash) choreographed a performance of the show's iconic opening number, "New York, New York," featuring the Top 20 finalists. Check it out below!
ON THE TOWN, the classic musical comedy love letter to New York City, will return to Broadway this fall in a critically acclaimed production directed by John Rando (Tony Award® for Urinetown) and choreographed byJoshua Bergasse. Bergasse makes his Broadway debut as a choreographer with the production. On The Townwill begin previews on Saturday, September 20, 2014 and officially open on Thursday, October 16, 2014 at Broadway's Lyric Theatre (213 W 42nd St, New York, NY 10036). Tickets for the new Broadway revival of On The Town are on sale now at Ticketmaster.com.
The Bronx is up, the Battery's down, and three sailors are hoping to get just a little bit lucky on their one day of leave in the Big Apple. From the Brooklyn Navy Yard and Coney Island to Times Square and Carnegie Hall, On The Town zigzags through New York City as the sailors and the three high-spirited young women they meet chase love, dreams, and each other during an unforgettable day in the city that never sleeps. The classic score features the standards "New York, New York," "I Can Cook Too," "Lonely Town," and "Some Other Time" and will be played in this production with their original orchestrations, performed by what will be the largest orchestra on Broadway, with 28 musicians led by musical director James Moore (Follies, Ragtime).
The cast will be led by Tony Yazbeck (Gypsy, A Chorus Line), Jay Armstrong Johnson (The New York Philharmonic's Sweeney Todd, Hands On A Hardbody, Hair), and Clyde Alves (Bullets Over Broadway, Nice Work If You Can Get It) - as the sailors on 24-hour shore leave who take on the Big Apple - with Megan Fairchild (New York City Ballet Principal Dancer), Alysha Umphress (American Idiot) and Elizabeth Stanley (Company) as the women who steal their hearts. Fairchild, a principal dancer with the New York City Ballet, will make her Broadway debut playing 'Ivy Smith.'
Created by the legendary creative team of Leonard Bernstein, Betty Comden, Adolph Green, and Jerome Robbins, On The Town grew out of the Jerome Robbins ballet Fancy Free, about three sailors on leave in New York, which debuted in 1944 with the American Ballet Theatre. The musical opened at Broadway's Adelphi Theater later that year, directed by George Abbott, and played through February 2, 1946 for a total of 462 performances, transferring to the 44th Street Theatre and Martin Beck Theatre along the way.
The production will feature scenic design by Tony Award® winner Beowulf Boritt (Act One, Chaplin, Rock of Ages), lighting design by Drama Desk nominee Jason Lyons (Bring it On, Rock of Ages), costume design by Tony Award® winner Jess Goldstein (Newsies, Jersey Boys, The Rivals), and sound design by Tony® nomineeKai Harada (Follies, Million Dollar Quartet). On The Town is produced by Howard & Janet Kagan (Pippin, The Gershwins' Porgy & Bess).

call it a "lie" call it an "exaggeration"... reality still is that he left an almost perfect playing situation in Calgary so that he could get paid. all the other reasons had minimal impact, at least as measured up to his primary motivation.
haha! maybe! although I dont know what it means and dont plan on

meh, I dont bother much with what players say to the medias, they're asked the same dumb questions hundred times a year (in Mtl : hundred times a week

Major Nelson has told the internets that a CSI: Deadly Intent demo is now available on Xbox Live. Developed by Telltale and featuring the cast of the show, the game tasks players with solving grisly murders in Las Vegas. Presumably, this will be done by pointing, clicking, zooming, enhancing and analyzing reflections. And by spouting one-liners, of course.

UPDATE: The CW now confirms this casting news, saying that Billy Baldwin will play Serena's father later this season. His first episode will be April 26 and Gossip Girl returns March 8.
The CW officially isn't commenting, but an inside source confirms EW.com's report that Billy Baldwin is in talks to play Serena van der Woodsen's (Blake Lively) absentee father in a few episodes of Gossip Girl later this season.
Plus, we've learned that the arrival of Baldwin's William van der Woodsen isn't just going to wreak havoc on Serena's life. His return has implications for another blonde we love, and it's not OK! Here's what we're hearing about this troubling twist:
It seems that daddy-o's past relationship with Lily Rhodes van der Woodsen Bass Humphrey (Kelly Rutherford) is going to be a big part of the character's plot line, and we're even hearing that he'll be coming between Lily and Rufus (Matthew Settle). Grumble, grumble.
This kind of turmoil is to be expected on a show like Gossip Girl, but it still bums us out a little. Now that we think of it, the only way that Billy Baldwin can make it up to us is to reveal that Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) is somehow Serena's uncle.
Do you approve of the casting of Billy Baldwin as Serena's father? Are you happy that all her hard work being a tabloid-friendly party girl is finally paying off (um, sort of)? Hit the comments!

text: A Bay Area Corporate Census: Asian American Executives version 1.2 An Analysis by Corporate Executive Initiative A joint project of Ascend and the Asia Society Buck Gee February, 2009 Asian American Executive Census February 12, 2009 Executive Summary In 2000, the Asian community was 21.1% of the Bay Area population. This figure varies greatly by county, city, and ethnicity, but the center of gravity of a multi-ethnic Asian population has quietly shifted from urban San Francisco County (20% of Bay Area Asians), to sprawling, suburban Santa Clara County (35% of Bay Area Asians) driven by its technology-fueled job market. In brief, this report finds that the Asian population continues to be underrepresented through the highest Bay Area executive levels, especially in Silicon Valley. The dynamics for change, however, are different for Asian Indian and Pacific Rim Asian executives. The Asian Indian population appears to be successfully reaching the vice president levels and is, in the past decade, just beginning to make progress into the higher executive ranks. In a 2008 sample pool of 395 non-officer level vice-presidents disclosed by Silicon Valley companies, 8.6% are Asian Indian, as compared to 5.3% of the Silicon Valley population being Asian Indian. These gains at the executive level should be expected because the Asian Indian population in the U.S., especially in Silicon Valley, has experienced explosive growth. Asian Indians are now the second largest Asian group in the U.S. and have rapidly created a prominent cultural presence and business influence in Silicon Valley. Asian Indians, however, remain underrepresented as corporate officers and board members. Since 1999, Asian Indian Bay Area board membership has only grown from 0.8% to 1.5% and Asian Indian corporate officers have grown from 0.7% to 3.1%. With a longer ethnic presence in the Bay Area, Pacific Rim Asians outnumber Asian Indians as Bay Area corporate officers and board members, but this may not be true for long. There has been little change in the number of Pacific Rim Asians in the executive levels, with Pacific Rim Asians being 8.4% of the pool of non-officer executives, even though they are 24.8% of the Silicon Valley population. If there is any trend, it may be in the opposite direction, with fewer Pacific Rim Asian board members in 2008 than in 1999. In Silicon Valley, there has been no increase in Pacific Rim U.S. based corporate officers or board members in the past decade. In fact, if you exclude one outlier and executives heading up operations in Asia, there are now more Asian Indian officers than Pacific Rim Asian officers in the largest 16 Bay Area technology-based companies. A Joint Project of Ascend and Asia Society Page 2 Asian American Executive Census February 12, 2009 A Bay Area Corporate Census: Asian American Executives Scope This report surveys the largest public corporations in the San Francisco Bay Area to assess Asian American representation at the executive management levels, analyze current and historical data (using publicly available sources), and identify possible trends. A specific focus will be the technology-based companies in Silicon Valley, where the Asians are 32% of the general population. Terminology In this report, we shall use the demographic terms and definitions applied by the U.S. Census Bureau. The term "Asian" is defined as people of Asian descent, both American-born and foreign-born, and includes the ethnic categories: Asian Indians, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and "Other Asian". "Asian Indian" is the Census category for people of Asian Indian descent and includes those from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. "Asian Indian" is also commonly known as "South Asian". This report will also use the term "Pacific Rim Asian" to mean the non-Indian "Asian" ethnicities: Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and "Other Asian". It should be noted that the Census "Asian" category does not include Pacific Islanders. Instead, there is a separate category for "Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders" to include Native Hawaiian, Guamanian, Chamorro, Samoan, and "Other Pacific Islander". For consistency, that group will not be included in this report's "Asian" numbers. Bay Area Asian Population The 2000 U.S. Census [1] found Asians to be 21.1% of the total population in the Bay Area counties of Santa Clara, Alameda, San Francisco, Contra Costa, San Mateo, and Marin. This is significantly higher than the overall figure for California (10.9%) and the other large urban counties of Los Angeles (11.9%) and San Diego (8.9%). Nationally, Asians were 3.6% of the U.S. population. A Joint Project of Ascend and Asia Society Page 3 Asian American Executive Census February 12, 2009 As detailed in Table A, Santa Clara County had the largest number of Asians (430,095), while San Francisco County had the highest percentage of Asians of its population (30.8%). Marin County had the smallest number (11,203) and percentage (4.7%). Bay Area Counties Santa Clara Alameda San Francisco Contra Costa San Mateo Marin Total Population 5,797,746 1,682,585 1,443,741 776,733 948,816 707,161 238,710 Asian 1,221,758 430,095 295,218 239,565 103,993 141,684 11,203 Asian (%) 21.1% 25.6% 20.4% 30.8% 11.0% 20.0% 4.7% Table A: Asians in Bay Area Counties The largest Bay Area ethnic populations were Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, and Asian Indian. As distributed in the Bay Area counties per Tables B-1 and B-2, these four ethnic groups comprised 84% of the Bay Area Asian population. The Japanese and Korean populations were much smaller (70,464 and 54,319) and are not included in these tables. San Francisco County was home to the largest group of Chinese, while Santa Clara had the largest concentrations of Filipinos, Vietnamese, and Asian Indians. Bay Area Counties Santa Clara Alameda San Francisco Contra Costa San Mateo Marin All Asian 1,221,758 430,095 295,218 239,565 103,993 141,684 11,203 Chinese 461,874 115,781 112,006 152,620 28,948 48,996 3,523 Filipino 280,301 76,060 69,127 40,083 34,595 59,047 1,389 Vietnamese 143,258 99,986 23,817 10,722 5,168 2,308 1,257 Asian Indian 138,655 66,741 42,842 5,524 11,683 10,535 1,330 Table B-1: Ethnic Distribution in Bay Area Counties All Asian 21.1% 25.6% 20.4% 30.8% 11.0% 20.0% 4.7% Chinese 8.0% 6.9% 7.8% 19.6% 3.1% 6.9% 1.5% Filipino 4.8% 4.5% 4.8% 5.2% 3.6% 8.3% 0.6% Vietnamese 2.5% 5.9% 1.6% 1.4% 0.5% 0.3% 0.5% Asian Indian 2.4% 4.0% 3.0% 0.7% 1.2% 1.5% 0.6% Bay Area Counties Santa Clara Alameda San Francisco Contra Costa San Mateo Marin Table B-2: Ethnic Distribution in Bay Area Counties (%) It is noteworthy that 59% of all Bay Area Vietnamese and Asian Indians, the more recent ethnic immigration waves, were found in Santa Clara County. To better understand this phenomenon and to A Joint Project of Ascend and Asia Society Page 4 Asian American Executive Census February 12, 2009 allow a more detailed context for reviewing the executive levels in the large number of Bay Area companies in Silicon Valley, we have provided, in Tables C-1 and C-2, an ethnic breakdown for the cities that form the center of Silicon Valley. All Asian 457,587 240,375 75,165 42,524 32,482 29,966 22,462 14,613 Chinese 123,856 51,109 29,240 12,597 8,098 5,197 12,031 5,584 Filipino 83,773 48,149 11,782 6,050 9,381 5,819 368 2,224 Vietnamese 100,421 78,842 4,135 3,249 8,175 4,803 523 694 Asian Indian 81,100 26,606 20,742 13,124 4,295 8,853 4,408 3,072 Silicon Valley Cities San Jose Fremont Sunnyvale Milpitas Santa Clara Cupertino Mt View Table C-1: Ethnic Distribution in Silicon Valley All Asian 30.2% 26.9% 37.0% 29.3% 32.3% 20.7% 51.8% 44.4% Chinese 8.2% 5.7% 14.4% 5.1% 9.6% 7.9% 12.9% 23.8% Filipino 5.5% 5.4% 5.8% 5.7% 4.6% 3.1% 15.0% 0.7% Vietnamese 6.6% 8.8% 2.0% 4.7% 2.5% 1.0% 13.0% 1.0% Asian Indian 5.3% 3.0% 10.2% 8.6% 10.0% 4.3% 6.9% 8.7% Silicon Valley Cities San Jose Fremont Santa Clara Sunnyvale Mt View Milpitas Cupertino Table C-2: Ethnic Distribution in Silicon Valley (%) Understating the Asian Population in this Analysis The ethnic distribution analysis in this report understates the Asian population in both absolute numbers and percentages, possibly as much as 4% of the Bay Area population. Incremental census data exist but do not have enough details for an Asian ethnic breakdown, and we felt that use of inconsistent datasets would be confusing. In this section, we are presenting that data for completeness although these numbers will not be cited for ethnic breakdown analysis. (1) The 2000 U.S. Census reports both an Asian and mixed-Asian population. Only the Asian population is subdivided into ethnic categories, so that this report uses the Asia-only number. For comparison, the total Bay Area county Asian population including the mixed-Asian segment is 23.0% vs. 21.1% for Asian-only. (2) The U.S. Census 2006 Estimate [2] reports the Asian population in the Bay Area counties increased from 21.1% in 2000 to 23.9% in 2006, with the largest growth occurring in Santa Clara A Joint Project of Ascend and Asia Society Page 5 Asian American Executive Census February 12, 2009 County, from 25.6% to 30.5%. Because the 2006 Estimate does not include the mixed-Asian population, the complete Asian population might be as high as 25% in the Bay Area. (3) This report does not include Bay Area Census numbers for "Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander", an error of 0.5%. This population is often included in a ethnic category called "Asian and Pacific Islander" or "API". Key Observations: Asian Population Clusters In 2000, the Asian community was 21.1% of the Bay Area population, but this figure varies greatly by county, city, and ethnicity. More importantly, though, the center of gravity of a multi-ethnic Asian population had quietly shifted from urban San Francisco County (20% of the Bay Area Asians), to sprawling, suburban Santa Clara County (35% of Bay Area Asians) driven by its technology-fueled job market. Santa Clara County is already the home of the largest Asian population in the Bay Area and, if current population growth trends continue, will soon have the most Asians as a percentage of its population, surpassing San Francisco County in both metrics. In fact, in percentage terms, the cities of Milpitas, Cupertino, Fremont, and Sunnyvale have already surpassed San Francisco. The 2000 Census reported for the Bay Area that: (1) the largest number of Asians was in Santa Clara County, the highest percentage in San Francisco County; (2) the largest number of Chinese was in San Francisco, the highest percentage in Cupertino; (3) the largest number of Filipinos was in San Jose, the highest percentage in Milpitas; (4) the largest number of Vietnamese was in San Jose, the highest percentage in Milpitas; and (5) the largest number of Asian Indians was in San Jose, the highest percentage in Fremont. Bay Area Survey of Asian American Executives This report surveys the largest 25 Bay Area public companies to analyze recent (Fall 2008) Asian representation at the highest levels of corporate management and review historical data (1999) for any trends. All data was assembled from publicly available sources, including corporate web sites [3] and SEC filings [4] to enumerate three levels of executive management: (i) board members, (ii) corporate officers, and (iii) where available, additional vice-presidents. Table D lists the 25 companies whose corporate reports were studied: A Joint Project of Ascend and Asia Society Page 6 Asian American Executive Census February 12, 2009 Chevron HP * McKesson Wells Fargo Safeway Intel * Cisco * Apple * Oracle * Google * Gap Sun Microsystems * PG&E Seagate * Genentech * Sanmina-SCI * Applied Materials * eBay * SYYNEX * Yahoo! * Franklin Resources AMD * Ross Stores Symantec * Agilent * Revenues ($B) March 08 220 107 99 53 42 38 37 26 21 16 15 13 13 12 11 10 9 7 7 6 6 6 5 5 5 Headquarters (county) Contra Costa Santa Clara San Francisco San Francisco Alameda Santa Clara Santa Clara Santa Clara San Mateo Santa Clara San Francisco Santa Clara San Francisco Santa Cruz San Mateo Santa Clara Santa Clara Santa Clara Santa Clara Santa Clara San Mateo Santa Clara Alameda Santa Clara Santa Clara Asian population in county 11.0% 25.6% 30.8% 30.8% 20.4% 25.6% 25.6% 25.6% 25.6% 25.6% 30.8% 25.6% 30.8% 3.4% 20.0% 25.6% 25.6% 25.6% 25.6% 25.6% 20.0% 25.6% 20.4% 25.6% 25.6% Table D: Bay Area Corporate Survey (* technology-based company) The management data was broken down into three demographic categories: (i) women, (ii) Asian Indian, (iii) Pacific Rim Asian. Executives responsible for operations in Asia were also noted. In almost all cases, corporate SEC filings in 1999 were used to compile historical data. In the instance where the company did not exist or 1999 data were not otherwise available, the oldest available data were used. In the case where there was a material merger, the oldest available data with the post-merger entity was used. All corporate filings used in this study are identified in the Data Sources Exhibit [3] at the end of this report. Tables E-1 and E-2 lists the census information for the sample of Bay Area corporate boards from 1999 to 2008. Whereas Table E-1 lists all 25 Bay Area companies, Table E-2 only includes the 17 technologybased companies, almost all located in Silicon Valley, from Table D. A Joint Project of Ascend and Asia Society Page 7 Asian American Executive Census February 12, 2009 1999 Bay Area Boards % of 1999 seats 2008 Bay Area Boards % of 2008 seats Total Seats 239 262 Women 26 10.9% 41 15.6% All Asians 13 5.4% 14 5.3% Asian Indian 2 0.8% 4 1.5% PacRim Asian 11 4.6% 10 3.8% Table E-1: Board of Directors Census Total Seats 140 172 Women 11 7.9% 24 14.0% All Asians 11 7.9% 11 6.4% Asian Indian 2 1.4% 2 1.2% PacRim Asian 9 6.4% 9 5.2% 1999 Tech Boards % of 1999 seats 2008 Tech Boards % of 2008 seats Table E-2: Bay Area Board of Directors Census – Technology Companies The data in Tables E-1 and E-2 indicate that in the past decade, the Asian board representation has been essentially flat, with 5.4% in 1999 and 5.3% in 2008. The number of Pacific Rim Asians declined from 11 to 10, overall. Nevertheless, the Bay Area figures for Asian board members are much higher than the 2007 national figure, reported by the Committee of 100 [5], of 1.5% of all board seats in the Fortune 500. In addition, 64% of the sampled Bay Area companies had at least one Asian board member vs. 14.8% in the Fortune 500. Both results should be expected, however, because the Asian population nationally is only 4.9%, well below the Bay Area's 23.9% estimate for 2006. A surprising finding is that there has been no increase in the number of Asian board members in technology companies. Asians are typically overrepresented in a high-tech workforce, especially in an engineering-heavy Silicon Valley company. In addition, there is the growing gap between the numbers of Asians and women on Bay Area boards, even in the technology companies. Since 1999, there has been an increase in the number (11->24) and percentage (7.9%->14%) of women in high-tech boardroom while Asian participation fell from 7.9% to 6.4%. Even more surprising is that Bay Area Asian board membership remained unchanged (11 board members) even though the number of Asian corporate officers doubled from 4.5% to 9.3%, as shown in Table F-1. This is a contrast to the situation with Bay Area women, where an increase in the number of women in the boardroom closely mirrors their increase in corporate officers. Women board membership grew from 10.9% to 15.6% while women officers increased from 11.0% to 14.5%. A Joint Project of Ascend and Asia Society Page 8 Asian American Executive Census February 12, 2009 1999 Corp Officers % of 1999 2008 Corp Officers % of 2008 Total 290 324 Women 32 11.0% 47 14.5 All Asians 13 4.5% 30 9.3% Asian Indian 2 0.7% 10 3.1% PacRim Asian 11 3.8% 20 6.2% Table F-1: Corporate Officer Census 1999 Corp Officers % of 1999 2008 Corp Officers % of 2008 Total 192 186 Women 19 9.9% 18 9.7% All Asians 11 5.7% 18 9.7% Asian Indian 2 1.0% 8 4.3% PacRim Asian 9 4.7% 10 5.4% Table F-2: Corporate Officers Census – Technology Companies The number of Asian officers doubled, from 4.5% to 9.3%. Three of the new Pacific Rim Asian corporate officers were located in the Asia/Pacific region, so that there were only 6 additional Pacific Rim Asian officers in the U.S. Patterns for Asian Indians and Pacific Rim Asians Since 1999, Asian Indian Bay Area board membership has grown from 0.8% to 1.5% and Asian Indian corporate officers have grown from 0.7% to 3.1%. These gains at the executive level, although modest, should be expected because the Asian Indian population in the U.S. and in Silicon Valley, in particular, has experienced explosive growth. The U.S. population of Asian Indians doubled (106%) in the 19902000 decade and continued at a 38% growth rate through 2005. Asian Indians are now the second largest Asian ethnic group in the United States and have rapidly created a prominent cultural presence and business influence in Silicon Valley [6]. However, this progress has not yet crossed into the highest corporate levels, as they are only 1.5% of Bay Area board seats. With a longer Pacific Rim Asian presence in the Bay Area population, it is no surprise to find more Pacific Rim Asians than Asian Indians as Bay Area corporate officers and board members at this time. The 2008 figures show Pacific Rim Asians seemingly making good progress at the highest corporate levels in the Bay Area, with a growing number of Pacific Rim Asian corporate officers (3.8% -> 6.2%) from 1999 to A Joint Project of Ascend and Asia Society Page 9 Asian American Executive Census February 12, 2009 2000, and Pacific Rim Asians with 3.8% of board seats. However, this picture is incomplete and a little misleading. A more accurate perspective can be obtained by taking out (i) those Asian corporate officers who with operational responsibilities in Asia (e.g. Vice President of Sales/Asia) and (ii) SYNNEX as an outlier. Founded by Bob Huang, SYNNEX has 42% of its corporate officers and 37% of its board as Pacific Rim Asians. With those two adjustments, the figures show that Pacific Rim Asians grew in the number of corporate officers (2.2% -> 5.4%), but declined in board membership (3.4% -> 2.8%). In technology companies, the picture is even worse, with no growth in corporate officers in the U.S. (4) and board members (6) since 1999. In fact, there are only 4 Pacific Rim Asians as corporate officers outside Asia in the other (excluding SYNNEX) 16 Bay Area technology companies; and there are now more Asian Indians as Silicon Valley corporate officers outside Asia. The Pipeline of Asian American Executives Of the 25 Bay Area companies reviewed, 11 companies included data on their corporate web sites identifying 416 additional vice presidents below the corporate officer level. This data is listed in Table G. However, Table G includes 14 Pacific Rim Asian vice presidents responsible for operations in Asia. Total 416 395 Women 63 15.1% 60 15.2% All Asians 69 16.6% 69 17.5% Asian Indian 34 8.2% 34 8.6% PacRim Asian 35 8.4% 35 8.9% Other VPs: All % Other VPs: Tech-only % Table G: Other Vice Presidents 2008 An adjusted Table H lists only those Bay Area vice presidents in the U.S. It is certain that this sample of executives is not the entire population of vice presidents, even within those disclosing companies. It is likely, however, that these are the more senior executives in those companies. Although tables G and H are not a comprehensive list of all vice presidents in the Bay Area, this is a large enough sample so that reasonable observations about the executive pipeline can be made. Other VPs (US only) : All % Other VPs (US only) Tech-only % Total 402 381 Women 63 15.6% 60 15.7% All Asians 55 13.6% 55 14.4% Asian Indian 34 8.4% 34 8.9% PacRim Asian 21 5.2% 21 5.5% A Joint Project of Ascend and Asia Society Page 10 Asian American Executive Census February 12, 2009 Table H: Other Vice Presidents 2008 (U.S.-only excluding those in A/P) Tables I-1 and I-2 provide an overall snapshot of the 2008 Asian career pipeline in the Bay Area. It pulls the 2008 data from Tables E, F, and H, adjusted to eliminate executives in Asia; and U.S. census data for Asians and Asian Indians in the Bay Area and Silicon Valley. In Table I-1, he "Bay Area Board" line is from Table E-1, "Bay Area Corp Officer" from Table F-1, "Other U.S. VP" line from Table H, and the "Population" line from Table B-2. All Asians 5.3% 9.3% 16.6% 21.1% Asian Indian 1.5% 3.1% 8.2% 2.4% PacRim Asian 3.8% 6.2% 8.4% 18.7 Bay Area Board (%) Bay Area Corp Off (%) Bay Area Other VPs (US only) (%) Bay Area Population (%) Table I-1: Bay Area - Corporate Executive Pipeline In Table I-2, the "High-tech Board" line is from Table E-2, "High-tech Corp Officer" from Table F-2, "Other U.S. VP" line from Table H, and the "Population" line from Table C-2. All Asians 6.4% 9.7% 14.4% 30.2% Asian Indian 1.2% 4.3% 8.9% 5.3% PacRim Asian 5.2% 5.4% 5.5% 24.8% High-tech Board (%) High-tech Corp Off (%) High-tech Other VPs (US only) (%) Silicon Valley Population (%) Table I-2: High-Tech – Corporate Executive Pipeline Using the summary Tables I-1 and I-2, we can observe that the Asian population is generally underrepresented through all Bay Area executive levels, but particularly in Silicon Valley, where the population is 30.2%. The Asian Indian population appears to be successfully reaching the vice president levels and has made some progress in the past 10 years in the higher executive ranks. However, Asian Indians are still underrepresented as corporate officers and board members. The Pacific Rim Asian population has not been making any progress in Silicon Valley or the Bay Area in reaching executive levels. If anything, there appears to be movement in the other direction, with fewer Pacific Rim Asians as corporate officers and board members in the Bay Area.

I have not read all the previous comments, only some, but perhaps you have not understood the importance of this arc that has a stone at the top of the form to ROMBO (ie symbolism of the female body from which life is born) Background c 'MENHIR is the phallic symbolism of the male. It 'a product of man from the Neolithic down to propriziare that he had to make SUN fertile land and animals. Surely the sun at certain times of the year (solstices?) Passed through the arch, and so the building became a CALENDAR. Prehistoric ceremonial site then. Can I have the exact address and contact details of Google Earth?

We started watching House MD earlier this year and liked it but it was like coming in the middle of a story. I had been looking to get the series from year 1 through 5, I caught it at the right time Overstock was offering them at a "can't beat this price" price. We're looking forward to learning all about the characters from the very start of the series.

A new generation of portable, multi-purpose fitness equipment is on the rise, making it possible to carry the gym wherever you go. These five ideas that provide a multitude of dynamic moves for a total body workout for all body types, sizes and fitness levels.
Monkii Bars
Ultra-portable, these wooden handles provide suspension resistance training by means of their Spectra cords, which are tough enough to allow adrenaline junkies to work out suspended high off the ground, although more moves are possible with easy access to the ground. Enthusiasm for the sleek design sent Monkii Bars swinging past its original US$25,000 crowd-funding goal on Kickstarter, raising over US$110,000. Shipping is expected to start soon. Retails for US$98.
A star newcomer featured at the 2014 IDEA World Fitness Convention, SmartFlex is a modular unit that can be broken down into two bars to be used separately or as one, with the possibility for resistance training when the spring-loaded function is called into action. More resistance moves are possible using light weights that create up to 10kg of torque by means of the bar's width. SmartFlex not only provides a total body workout, it has a wide range of applications since it also enables moves used in physical therapy and to improve posture. Prices range from US$99 (RM314) to US$149 depending on the package ordered and it only weighs 2.7kg at its heaviest configuration.
After tripling its goal of raising US$50,000 on Kickstarter in March, the X-bar is ready and available to provide, like SmartFlex, exercises that increase flexibility, balance, endurance and stamina. With X-bar, the optional resistance training is achieved by means of the resistance bands, which come with the product in three levels. Swivel ends make for fluid resistance band movements. The package also includes ergonomic push-up docks, a door anchor, an accessories bag, a workout DVD and a 32-page exercise guide. Weighing in at just under 4.5kg, it's available for US$149.99.
It may look and feel like a medicine ball, but because Metaball has handles, all the kettlebell movements are possible, too. The product separates, making it possible to add and remove weight, and the product comes with two 1kg bars. Once separated, the handles allow for barbells. A locking nut enables the attachment of fitness bands, and a world of new moves is possible if customers order the package in which they are included. Pre-order prices range from US$119.99 to US$225, depending on the package ordered. Shipping is expected for November.
Two circular units that contain retractable Dyneema cords, the Disq enables adjustable resistance training for total body workouts. Worn as a belt, the pulley system is extended to the ankles, where it attaches to straps for core and lower body movements, allowing for full range of motion and a wide variety of moves. Resistance-based running and traditional calisthenics like jumping jacks are possible for a one-shot, total body workout. A corresponding iOS app tracks workouts and calories burned, offering personalised workouts based on the user's preferences and data. Retails for US$299. – AFP Relaxnews

Oregon State advances to CWS championship series
Updated: June 23, 2006, 8:33 AM ETAssociated Press
OMAHA, Neb. -- The season was on the line for Oregon State and Jonah Nickerson wanted the ball -- on only two days' rest.
Coach Pat Casey let him have it for a second start in four days, and the junior right-hander led the Beavers into the championship round of the College World Series for the first time in school history.
"You just saw one of the guttiest performances by any person I've ever seen in the sport of baseball," Casey said.
Nickerson (13-4) pitched 7 2/3 shutout ...

It's time to get out those ruby slippers and take a trip down the yellow brick road, because The Wizard of Oz is coming back to the big screen. The 1939 Oscar-winning Technicolor classic, which wowed audiences almost 75 years ago, will be restored for release in IMAX and 3D later this year, according to Warner Bros. and IMAX officials. Fans can soon see Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow, Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion come back to life, not just on a larger screen (an opportunity not many moviegoers can say they've had) but with digitally-enhanced sound and a remastered picture. President of IMAX Entertainment, Greg Foster, who has seen some of the remastered footage, told USA Today, "The sound was exceptional, the sharpness was exceptional…But it's the color that stands out. What they could do is truly amazing, maybe what people felt when they first saw it." ~Naomi Leanage

UGC Characters do not appear in DemoRecord
The foundry is an excellent asset, with fully unlocked costume options you can do a lot with it.
But even at current, Any character made within the foundry by a player is completely non-existant while using Demorecord.
Anyone know a way around this?
Hi there,
I believe that I have experienced this frustration myself. But fear not there is a solution to work your magic!!
Download this awesome awesome tool set called STO demo Launcher.
What it does is allows you to swop costumes on the actors on your scene.
This is what I do.
1.) Go to SOL, DS9, First City and run demo record for a few seconds. or
2.) Demorecord your Boff on a ground mission somewhere wearing something you want to show in your film. (Tip: you yourself can swap your costume during demo record and it captures all the costume sets)
Why do the above?
It captures hundred of costumes you can select and use :) (Bad part is that is all stored with descriptions that make limited sense, so you have to try by trial and error. Thats why once you have changed a costume, first preview the video until you are happy.)
The other great thing about the above tool is it allows you to remove notifications, error messages, and unwanted FX from the scene.
I hope that this will provide you will hours of thrills :)

A shear rheometer using OpenFOAM
In some special cases it is possible to solve the the Navier-Stokes equation system exactly. The flow of a viscous fluid between two rotating cylinders is a good example of such a case. The Navier-Stokes equation system can be derived in cylindrical coordinates, and together with the appropriate boundary conditions, it is reduced to two […] Read More
Laminar flow around a cylinder

101 Things to read when starting with OpenFOAM
This isn't actually a list of "101 things to read when starting with OpenFOAM", but we found the title name catchy. OpenFOAM is an Open Source software for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) implemented using the C++ programming language. Looking at this definition, it is easy to see what needs to be learned in order to […] Read More
Transforming Surfaces with surfaceTransformPoints
Similar to transformPoints for the mesh, surfaceTransformPoints can translate, rotate and scale a surface mesh. This is particularly helpful, when the geometry in question is located in an undesirable position in space and must be moved accordingly. #!/bin/bash export FILE="geometry.stl" surfaceTransformPoints -translate "(1 1 1)" $FILE surfaceTransformPoints -scale "(10 10 10)" $FILE The above illustrate the most basic functionalities of surfaceTransformPoints: […] Read More

I'm completely addicted to Diorshow Black Out. For many years I was a Lancome devotee, but I switched over to Dior when the original Diorshow came out. I'm Irish with fair skin and red hair, and my eyelashes are practically non-existant. I had great results with Diorshow, and when Black Out came out I quickly snatched one up. WOW! I will never stray from this product, unless Dior outdoes itself yet again. My lashes look thick, long, and sexy. I use the Shu Uemura eye curler first, then apply the mascara. For daytime use, I apply one coat and a tiny bit on my bottom lashes. For nighttime wear, I apply a coat, comb the lashes while wet with an eyelash comb, and apply another coat. It's important to start at the base and shimmy your way up. I find that gives me that full lash effect. Those who complain about the product clumping or flaking should be aware that volumizing mascaras only last about a month to two max. It's the nature of the product type, not a flaw or defect of this particular product. Sometimes I do get a little underneath my eye, but I keep that at bay with Clarins Double Fix, which I apply over this. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Best mascara ever. My lashes are longer, thicker and more beautiful than with any other mascara. It's a splurge, but one I'm happy to pay for how great this product is.
The first time I tried this, it was just okay--very thick, but okay. After about a month, the mascara started getting thicker and so much so that the brush was caked. I thought it was just a defective item so it was replaced at the Dior counter. Same thing happened to this one so I would never buy it again. There are much cheaper mascaras that work much better and last longer. Just goes to show that just because it's expensive, doesn't mean it's worth it or better.
With so many mascaras on the market I like to try new ones. I like thick black lashes because mine are quite long. A Dior consultant showed me this one, and wiped it over her hand to show the colour - which as the name suggests is very black, I bought it. Well what a mistake! It's about as thick as water, and goes on like it too. So it doesn't even go on, it's not volumising, lengthening, build able or anything. Total waste of money

Only mascara I own that makes my lashes look thick and obvious. It takes a bit of getting used to - I have managed to get this over half my face haha, however once used to it is easy and your lashes look amazing

The brush for this is so fat that it doesn't define or separate the lashes and I have to use a lash comb as well. Once I have done this, the end result is dramatic and thick looking lashes but there are better mascaras out there that give the same result without so much effort.
Unless you WANT gloopy lashes and you enjoy your mascara running down your face. Really. The cheapest mascaras don't cause raccoon eyes any more, but THIS stuff does. Save your money, worst mascara ever.
I use this as a complimentary mascara after the normal diorshow mascara, to give that extra drama effect. It absolutely works for me.. it is total black out
This was recommended for dramatic lashes!! Pffft what a croc!! Maybe ok for everyday lashes maybe, but for the ridiculous price $52AUD, you can definately find better. It IRRITATED my eyes and eyelids, above my crease became very red and sensitive, which has never happened before, not even willing to use the rest of the tube due to this :( I purchased this at a h/e department store, so it's definately a genuine item.
This is the mascara that I currently own. It is really one of my favorites, and the first upgrade that I had from drugstore brands. I can surely tell the difference in va-va-vroom quality and appeal. Since I don't wear make up that often, I will continue to purchase high end mascara's since you can tell the difference. However, if you wear makeup every day, I would suggest something cheaper like Maybelline. This is one of those men-will-stare at you mascaras. I bought it when it was the highest ranking mascara. If going for a cheaper brand...L'oreal Telescopic in carbon black is my hit.
