SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Shares of the following companies were among those that made notable moves on the U.S. stock market Tuesday.
AirTran Holdings Inc.'s AAI, +0.00% AirTran Airways will cut 480, or more than 5%, of its jobs because of high fuel prices, The Wall Street Journal reported in its online edition, citing company sources. The discount airline told the paper that 180 pilots and 300 flight attendants will be affected by the cuts, which are expected to take effect by early September.
Alcon: ACL, +0.00% Novartis closed the purchase of a quarter of Alcon Inc., the first of two steps that could see the Basel health-care giant NVS, -1.44% take control of the Hunenberg, Switzerland, eye-care-products specialist. In April, Novartis definitively agreed to an arrangement under which it could buy majority ownership of Alcon from Nestle NSRGY, +0.57% in two steps. The price for the 25% stake was $10.4 billion, Novartis said. That's $200 million less than planned since Alcon paid its May 2008 dividend to Nestle rather than Novartis, NVS said. Novartis now has the right to acquire, and Nestle to sell, the Vevey, Switzerland, foods giant's remaining 52% stake in Alcon from January 2010 through July 2011 for no more than $28 billion.
Apollo Group Inc. APOL, -0.86% named Charles Edelstein chief executive. Founder John Sperling continues as chairman.
Ambac Financial Group Inc. ABK, -1.37% said late Monday that downgrades by all three rating companies cost the firm increased collateral-posting requirements and lost business, but that it still has enough liquidity to honor business commitments. Downgrades in June cost Ambac $506 million in increased collateral-posting requirements and investment agreement terminations of $270 million, Ambac said.
Privately held pharmaceutical firm Stiefel Laboratories, Inc. said Tuesday it is offering to purchase all outstanding shares of Barrier Therapeutics, Inc. BTRX for $4.15 per share in cash. Stiefel said the offer will expire on Aug. 4. It said the price is subject to reduction for certain dividends or other distributions declared in the run-up to the tender and "any applicable federal back-up withholding or other taxes payable by such seller."
Cadbury: CBY, +17.15% (CBRY) Investec downgraded the chocolate maker to sell from hold on Tuesday. "We continue to like Cadbury's focus and restructuring story and are impressed by early progress but are struggling to rationalize the valuation," the broker said.
The Eastman Chemical Co. EMN, -0.17% said Tuesday that Richard Lorraine, 62, announced he will step down as senior vice president and chief financial officer, effective Sept.1, 2008. Lorraine will remain with the company until the end of the year performing in various roles and special projects. Curtis Espeland, 44, will succeed Lorraine as senior vice president and chief financial officer.
Electronic Arts ERTS said Tuesday morning that it has reached "substantial compliance" with a request from the Federal Trade Commission to provide information related to its proposed acquisition of Take-Two Interactive Software TTWO, +0.29% In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, EA said that based on an agreement with the FTC, it will not consumate the proposed acquisition until the agency closes its investigation or Aug. 21, whichever date comes first. EA has proposed to buy Take-Two for nearly $2 billion in cash, which Take-Two has rejected as undervaluing its business.
Intel Corp. INTC, -0.53% said Tuesday it has formed a a strategic alliance with DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. DWA, -0.55% to cooperate in 3-D filmmaking technology, beginning with the film "Monsters vs. Aliens," which is slated for a domestic release date of March 27, 2009. Intel said it will provide DreamWorks Animation "with the latest high-performance processing technologies, including future chips with multiple processing cores," while Intel software engineers "will help to optimize DreamWorks' applications for these advanced processors."
Ryanair Holdings RYAAY, -0.54% Europe's largest low-cost airline, on Tuesday said it's exercised options for the delivery of three Boeing BA, -0.28% 737-800 aircraft for delivery in June 2010. The decision comes as many airlines around the world are reducing capacity to cope with wavering consumer confidence and record-high oil prices.
Siemens AG SI, -20.00% plans to slash 16,750 jobs worldwide with about a third of the cuts coming in Germany, the conglomerate announced Tuesday, saying it needs to become more efficient as the worldwide economy slows. See full story.
Stage Stores Inc.'s SSI, -1.51% shares jumped more than 10% as total sales for the five weeks ending July 5 rose 6.4% to $142 million and same-store sales rose 1.2%, driven by growth across most categories and regions. The company it now expects to meet or exceed the high end of its previous second-quarter same-store sales guidance of a 3% fall. It also expects to earnings to be at or above the previous high end of its forecast, which was 23 cents a share.
State Auto Financial Corp. STFC, -1.59% second-quarter catastrophe losses will total $76 million to $84 million before tax. The range includes $3.4 million related to earlier developments, the Columbus, Ohio, property and casualty insurance holding company said. The "unusually harsh storm activity we saw in the first quarter this year has continued into the second quarter," Chief Executive Bob Restrepo said in a statement. That "will contribute higher-than-normal catastrophe losses" to STFC's second-quarter results.
Swiss banking group UBS UBS, -1.11% said Tuesday that it intends to significantly expand its Middle East operations to accelerate growth in the region. The bank said it will set up operations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia after getting conditional approval from the Capital Markets Authority. John Fraser, chairman and CEO of UBS' global asset management business will also become chairman of the Saudi Arabia business and the CEO will be Mohamed Sammakia, a managing director in its fixed income division. In other steps, UBS said it's applied for a license to operate in Qatar and it intends to expand its investment banking and equity research coverage across the region.

Bribery is a threat to good governance, sustainable economic development, democracy and people's welfare. The corrosive effects of bribery can spread across borders, affecting economies and societies everywhere. The ability to address bribery, both domestically and internationally, is impaired by a lack of transparency, accountability and integrity in the public and private sectors.

Home > News, Media and Events > Matz Promotes Financial Literacy Grants
April 13, 2011, Alexandria, Va. -- National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Board Chairman Debbie Matz today encouraged low-income credit unions to apply for a new grant program known as the Financial Education and Financial Literacy Initiative. Offered through the agency's Office of Small Credit Union Initiatives, NCUA will distribute $200,000 in grants. Credit unions may submit grant applications from April 18 through May 20, 2011.
"In its latest survey, Project Jump$tart found that the financial literacy of high school students had fallen to new lows. We need to fix this problem," said Chairman Matz. "NCUA is dedicated to giving students everywhere the opportunity to gain financial skills. These grants will facilitate credit union efforts to ensure that today's teenagers develop the ability to make smart financial decisions. This initiative invests in our future."
NCUA established this initiative to support the efforts of low-income credit unions to improve the financial literacy in their communities, particularly among students. The grants also advance NCUA's partnership with the U.S. Department of Education and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to encourage financial institutions to educate students about saving, budgeting and making wise financial decisions.
The start of the Financial Education and Financial Literacy Initiative's application process in April coincides with Financial Literacy Month. Funding for the grants comes from the NCUA Community Development Revolving Loan Fund's Technical Assistance Grant Program. Under the initiative, low-income designated credit unions may apply for up to $5,000 to create, enhance or expand financial education efforts.
Through the grants, NCUA seeks to encourage low-income credit unions to collaborate with schools, community organizations and other financial institutions to provide financial education within the communities they serve. NCUA encourages credit unions to use the grants to support financial literacy projects aimed at students, but the funding received through the initiative may support other community financial education efforts.
Examples of a few projects and uses that NCUA hopes to fund through the initiative include:
The application and guidance are available on NCUA's website at this web page in the section focused on Technical Assistance Grants. NCUA will announce the awards in late July.
NCUA is the independent federal agency created by
the U.S. Congress to regulate, charter and supervise
federal credit unions. With the backing of the full
faith and credit of the United States, NCUA operates
and manages the National Credit Union Share
Insurance Fund, insuring the deposits of more than 101
million account holders in all federal credit
unions and the overwhelming majority of
state-chartered credit unions. At
MyCreditUnion.gov and
Pocket Cents, NCUA also educates the public on consumer protection and financial literacy issues.

$227M Plant Will Convert Hazardous Waste to Energy
ForeverGreen Enterprises and International Power Group have partnered up to launch a venture to build a power plant in Indiana that will convert hazardous waste into energy. 750 tons a day of industrial, chemical and medical garbage will be converted to methanol and hydrogen, plus a little electricity – but we don't know how much of an output the plant will have.
This is an effort to find a new niche away from cellulosic and municipal waste conversion, which has seen a flood of interest the last couple years. ForeverGreen feels that all this other junk has potential, and no one else is really going after it…yet.
Construction is set to start at the very beginning of 2009, and in about 22 months, the plant will hopefully start turning hazardous materials into useable substances using a combination of International Power's waste-heat-to-energy process and ForeverGreen's gasification process. The byproducts will include scrap steel and silicates – among other things?
Details are still vague while the companies work to find financing to cover the full project, but we'll follow this one as construction time approaches.

Track Home Energy Use with Solar Lamp
Sweden plans to have future homes come equipped with smart meters. But some folks want to know what's up with their energy consumption now, and without having to look online all the time. Enter the concept Spark Lamp.
This lamp is truly one of the oddest things I've heard of, but could be kinda cool…kinda. During the day, you flip the lamp upside down so that the solar panels located on the bottom can charge up. Then at night, you flip it right side up and turn it on. It then connects to your Wi-Fi and changes to a certain color to show what your energy consumption is at compared to your monthly goal. The indicators are red, yellow and green and you can guess what they mean.
After about 3 seconds, the light turns to white and you can use it as a lamp. So it is an interesting little check-in device…that is only available in Sweden and that I don't expect will become very popular. Yes, it is more multipurpose than a regular old solar powered light, but still. It would take some interesting planning on where to place the lamp in order for it to get needed sunlight to charge. It might prove to people that just jumping online is an easier way to check your energy consumption.

Space Saver Solar Stik Gives Boats Extra Juice
Hey, sailor, got a light? In Brian Bosley's case, he needed a light and power to take his small boat around the world. But as anyone who has a boat knows, space is at a premium on vessels. So Bosley, an inventor with a background in aviation, along with some fellow sailors, made solar power portable.
The Solar Stik was born in Key West during the winter of 1997-98 out of necessity. Three small boats, including Bosley's, were in need of a power generating system that could supply enough energy for fridges, long-range communications and lights. The original design used a free-standing system and after several thousands of voyaging miles testing the system, the original inventors, who put the first units together late at night, were surprised at how well their make-shift on-the-go solar system worked.
A tripod was added on and more tests were done. Eventually the design developed as more components were added. The solar panel lifting arms have three attachment points that act as a lateral stabilizing mechanism, preventing damage during rough seas or high winds. Once the system mount is secured, it can be left outside indefinitely. It takes just minutes to set up and the system can be easily disassembled for transport and to power down when storms arrive.
The military has already taken notice of the usefulness of the Solar Stik in certain regions where power may be off-the-grid and some local governments have purchased the units as part of their emergency response plans. Prices for the units start at $150 for marine systems and go up to $350 for its most high-tech units.

Identify Greenwashing with New Website
There's a difference between something being green, and a company putting a green spin on a product. A new startup called GoodGuide is to be a source for free, scientist-verified data about products we purchase so we can ID for ourselves if what we're consuming is as green as the company says it is.
Drawing from over 650 data sources, GoodGuide is building a database that figures out what is physically healthy, socially healthy, and environmentally healthy, so that people can compare products and make their priority decisions. It is a great sibling site to the new Wikia Green.
GoodGuide is also implementing ways you can get the info while you're standing in a isle staring at your options. You can get text messages right now, and soon there will be an iPhone app available. The site is in beta now, yet still has over 61,000 products already listed. Good to know that while we're staring at 15 different kinds of toothpaste, we have someone to help us pick one.

2 Million New Jobs by 2010 with Green Investment
The green movement just might be the solution our flagging economy needs. A new report by the Natural Resources Defense Council discusses how the US can create 2 million new jobs in 2 years by investing in clean tech.
The real clincher for greenies is that the report shows that green investing will create four times as many new jobs as the same amount of investment in oil. The amount of investment analyzed was $100 billion, which isn't outrageous considering the hundreds of millions already going into clean tech by different companies, foundations, and even the DOE. The report notes that this could also include auctions of carbon permits with the cap-and-trade system.
The jobs would be nationwide in fields that already exist – construction workers would be employed to set up wind and solar farms, engineers would be employed for site and product design, etc.
Two millions jobs and serious investment in clean energy tech are both deeply needed. The report shows it's an awesome possibility. Hopefully politicians and leaders are listening.

New Mercedes-Benz Tells You When to Shift
We're starting to see elements added to cars that help tell the driver when and how to save gas, rather than having the driver rely on gathering their own tips and implementing them. Nissan's Eco Pedal is one such gadget. And now Mercedes-Benz has their own.
Their new C-Class will have a C 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY Prime Edition that will help drivers save fuel by telling them when to switch gears. A display will inform the driver of the best time to shift to maximize mileage. We'll be able to see this in action this fall, when about 5,000 of these models exit the factory. The model is part of the BlueEFFICIENCY series that will have various green-ish measures such as reduced weight, better aerodynamics, and improved fuel consumption. All rather ho-hum measures, but it's something.

Green Competition is a Good Thing
Yep, that's a "duh" title. But worth mentioning since there's some fun news coming from the Bay Area.
We talked awhile ago about San Jose's drive to become the greenest city around. We've also covered some excellent green initiatives coming out of San Francisco. Well, there's more to it than just introspection and self-improvement for these two cities. They represent some significant Keeping Up With the Jones' syndrome for cities, which is some of the best news the green movement can get right now.
SF Mayor Gavin Newsom and SJ Mayor Chuck Reed are both actively working on one-upping each other, with Newsom joking about how he daily scans San Jose's news and website for info on what the city has done to green up. Both are working on getting clean tech companies to call their cities home, and both are pursuing greener options for everything from transportation to renewable energy.
Both mayors pointed out how great it is to compete for green status at the Silicon Valley Leadership Group's Clean & Green conference yesterday, noting that all major cities are beginning to take similar steps. Since San Francisco and San Jose are only an hour apart from one another, the result may be a very clean Bay Area.

Hybrid Busses Becoming All the Rage
Staten Island is changing over 15% of its bus fleet to hybrid electrics. Within two years, they'll add 159 Next Generation Orion VIIs to their stash, helping to cut down on pollution and fuel use and becoming the first municipality in the whole U S of A to get these green busses.
Busses get a ridiculously bad gas mileage, and the hybrid version will boost that from 2.5 mpg to 3.4 mpg. While that's still horrible, it is definitely an improvement. More efficient busses are a concern of many cities, especially as a way to jump much closer to carbon cutting goals. Ann Arbor grabbed a few last year, and companies are working on better hybrid versions to further clean up city transportation. Perhaps we'll someday see a version of Toyota's wireless electric hybrid pulling into city stops.

Alaskan Police Pull Over Solar UFO Car
A bit of hilarious news: Alaska doesn't get much action, really, so it's no surprise that police thought they were pulling over a UFO when they saw the above solar car tooling down the road. I'd probably have thought the same thing, except that UFOs are unidentified FLYING objects…
But it was just Marcelo da Luz in his Xof1 taking a jaunt across the state to try and set a world record. A citizen dialed 911 upon seeing the vehicle, and police chased it down but didn't do more than ask him what was up with the crazy car.
He might have responded:
The Power of One Solar Car Project, or Xof1 for short, was initially developed with the intention to compete in the prestigious World Solar Challenge. Instead their car set off to break the world distance record for a solar car. The space age looking car weighs roughly 660 lbs (300kg) with driver and the entire top body of the car is covered by solar cells and tops out at 75mph (120 km/hr).
It's just one of 7 times he's been pulled over during the race, so he might possibly have come up with something a little more creative or colorful by this point…

First Solar-Powered Multiplex Cinema in US
The Fairfax 5 Theater just installed a 27 kw PV system, making the landmark a greener place to watch a film. While not the very first theater to be solar powered (hello, Palm Theatere), it is the first major motion multiplex cinema to slap on some PVs for renewable power. The rooftop system is made up of 42 solar modules, and utilized state rebates and federal tax credits to help speed up the pay-back period to just 5 years. The system is expected to save over $600,000 in energy costs over its 30 year lifetime. Not too bad! And considering the theater has been around since 1952, it is likely it'll be around to see that savings.

Q&A with Sue Lynn Sasser
Marital financial decisions should be made together
Q: Here's a question for Valentine's month: What is the most important thing for couples to know about money?
A: First and foremost, couples need to realize that money basically has three purposes: purchase goods and services, pay existing bills or debts, and build wealth by increasing savings and investments. Money never should be used to control someone else's behavior in a relationship. Regardless of which spouse has the highest earnings, financial decisions should be made together with both partners as equals. Marriage is a partnership, and successful partnerships require open, honest communication.
Q: How can couples reduce the financial strains on their relationship?
A: Having well-defined goals is the best way to reduce the potential for fighting or power struggles over money. If both parties agree to save $10,000 in five years for a down payment on a new house or for a child's college education, then it is easier to discuss the steps needed to accomplish that goal. Just the process of setting specific goals helps build a common bond, keeping both individuals focused on what they agree is a priority. Of course, good communication is a critical component when working on those goals. Without knowing what they want and when they want it, couples often find themselves spending money and accumulating high levels of debt, which is the source of most financial disagreements.

NYTimes poll-graph on debt crisis: public rejects extreme partisan solutions, but false premise skews results
July 29, 2011 - 4:47 pm
Sometimes the big media outlets do something right — or at least clever and thought-provoking. In this case it was the New York Times, which today unveiled a very well-programmed interactive poll-graph which allows readers to voice their opinions about the debt crisis on a dual-axis Cartesian graph. The result is an instantly updated "spread" of reader opinions which show at a glance where the public — or at least the liberal-leaning public which reads the NY Times — stands on the debt crisis issue.
In case they eventually take down the poll, and in case not everybody has an up-to-date browser capable of displaying the graph, I took a screenshot of the results (click to enlarge):
The up-and-down axis is about spending: dots near the top of the chart represent people who want to cut spending, while those at the bottom don't want to cut spending. The left-right axis represents tax revenue — those who clicked near the right edge of the screen want to raise revenue through higher taxes, and those on the left don't (more on this later).
Thus the cluster of dots at the upper left corner represent hardcore libertarians and Tea Partiers — people who want a lot less spending and no new taxes. The cluster at the lower right are the socialists and welfare-staters — people who want more spending and more taxes to pay for it.
The tiny cluster at the lower left are the crazy people — people who want more spending, but don't want to pay for it in any way. We can safely ignore them.
But as the chart instantly reveals, the vast majority of respondents are in the upper right — people who want less spending and more revenue. In other words, the mid-point between the two extremes: the Tea Party position of cutting runaway spending is now the mainstream position; but the liberal Democrat call for higher taxes is also now the mainstream position.
This is why no one can figure out who's "winning" the debt battle. Both political factions have a monopoly on only one of the two favored positions, while their opponents lay claim to the other.
This being the New York Times, with its "progressive" readership, the overwhelming cluster in the upper right is slightly sagging toward the "Don't reduce spending" direction, but only barely. Considering the demographic of the readership, this is to be expected, and a similar poll in a different publication might skew slightly upward. But overall, it's solidly "Cut spending/raise revenue."
But here's where the glitch becomes manifest. And it's the same glitch that partisan economists have been arguing about for decades.
The chart presumes that "increase tax revenue" is the same thing as "increase revenue." Or more simply, it relies on the false premise that raising taxes will also increase revenue.
That may be true in the immediate months after a tax increase, but study after study (and real-world examples) have shown that raising taxes will in the long run stifle economic activity, and over time serves to decrease revenue. Or, seen from the other angle, as has happened at various times in U.S. history: lowering taxes helps to spur an economic boom, which stimulates wealth creation and as a result higher revenue for the government, counter-intuitive as that may seem at first. But choking 70% of gross income from a stifled economy ends up producing less revenue than skimming 20% of gross income from a robust economy.

PH05 Fate and Effects of Energetic Compounds
(PH033) SPE Method Development and HPLC Determination of Explosives in Environmental Media.
Pan, X1, Smith, J1, Cobb, G1, 1 Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX, USA
ABSTRACT- This study aims to develop a reproducible and sensitive method to measure trace explosive compounds and their transformation products. First, an HPLC method for the baseline separation of the 8 explosive compounds in a matrix-free sample is developed. Then, an optimal SPE method for analyte isolation from samples is established. This method requires: 1) adding salt to increase the ionic strength of the samples; 2) extra dying time to facilitate analyte recovery by acetonitrile. Recoveries of TNX using C18 were 68.5±8.4%, 83.2±5.2% and 90.5±6.4% at concentrations of 1ng/ml, 5ng/ml and 10ng/ml, respectively. Recoveries of RDX using C18 were 82.5±5.2% and 90.7±8.1% at concentrations of 1ng/ml and 20ng/ml, respectively. Recoveries of TNX using styrene-divinybenzene cartridge (SDB) were 91.2±14.4%, 96.5±13.1% and 99.0±6.3% at concentrations of 1ng/ml, 5ng/ml and 10ng/ml, respectively. Recoveries of RDX using SDB were 93.0±4.0% and 96.5±6.2% at concentrations of 1ng/ml and 20ng/ml, respectively. Additionally, good peak shape was achieved by diluting the acetonitrile extract with water. This method is currently applied for dose verification of an animal exposure study. The nominal TNX concentrations in water were 1, 10 and 100 ng/ml. In 17 replicates for each dose, our method produced the mean concentration of 0.91±0.15ng/ml, 10.0±1.0ng/ml and 100.3±8.4ng/ml, respectively. Future application will include tissue samples.
Key words: Explosive, TNX, SPE, HPLC

Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow Review & Swatches
Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow have launched for Summer 2013 in six delightfully sparkly shades.
Moondust Eyeshadow is thee quintessential shimmer eyeshadow. These are packed with sparkle which translates as you're either going to really, really love 'em or really, really hate 'em.
I eat sparkle on my cornflakes in the AM but even I can admit that these are super overkill in the shimmer department. Some folks including myself have likened them to Urban Decay's Stardust Eyeshadow and on a certain level they are similiar. But I prefer thinking of them as a reformulated and better version of Stardust Eyeshadow.
Let's take a look!
Zoadiac, Space Cowboy, Stargazer
Diamond Dog, Moonspoon, Glitterrock
Put away your fancy brushes and take out your cheap sponge tipped eyeshadow applicators because Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow need to be patted on to get the most bang out of the formula. Brushes are not going to work with this formula and you're going to suffer from a mediocre eye look with a ton of fall out if you decide to get your blending and eyeshadow brushes mixed up in a showdown with Moondust Eyeshadows. Your best bet is to use sponge applicators for the best results as this prevents glittery fall out and also allows you to build color up on lids for a smooth, even application of the shadow formula.
These are annoying to use and very challenging but if you spend a little time with them, show a little patience, and give them a little love you'll have yourself a gorgeous, stunning sparkly eye look. They are possibly thee most shimmering eyeshadow I've own and that's saying something considering 99.9% of my monster stash is made up of sparkle/shimmer finishes.
Urban Decay says they are a sophisticated shimmer but if I'm honest, well, it really isn't a mature/sophisticated look that they create. It is however fun and edgy which is what Urban Decay is all about so a product like this is perfectly fitting for their brand image.
Although at first I was leaning towards saying they are much like the Stardust formula I have to take that back. The Stardust formula had a more refined shimmer where as Moondust is all about really heavy, healthy silver sparkle. Although a finer sparkle it still pretty much gets everywhere. Fall out is a bitch even when using a sponge applicator. You have to really spend some extra time with these to avoid getting them all over your face, your neck, even your bosom. The shimmer just gets everywhere. I strongly recommend a nude shadow base of some sort like Bobbi Brown Long Wear Eyeshadow Stick in Vanilla or MAC Paint Pot in Bare Study, etc….follow up with eyeshadow primer, and finally you can pat these gently onto your lid. Using this method I get long, strong wear and no issues with fading, creasing, or fall out ONCE they are on my lid (it's during application that it becomes an issue). I had to reapply a little concealer under my eyes to deal with the fall out as I had a hard time dusting it away…a little piece of tape on the back of your finger and patted gently under your eyes and on your face will also whisk away excess sparkle.
Diamond Dog
Space Cowboy
I think the Stardust shadows also had a flakier texture where as Moondust has more of a creamy base. There is pigment to be had here which was something lacking in the Stardust shadows, you really had to build to get color pay off with those. The Moondust formula definitely has more pigmented but don't expect them to have the same texture or color pay off as the regular line of Urban Decay Eyeshadow as they do not.
In the end, I admit, Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow are a difficult formula to work with. If you love shimmer I'd recommend trying at LEAST one. They are super fun if nothing else. Yes, they have application issues, yes, they are way too shimmery. But they could prove fun if you have the time, patience, and love to give them.
P.S. These are pop outs so you can use them with the Urban Decay Build Your Own Palette compacts!
These are available now at www.urbandecay.com

4/12/13 10:43 Agata:
I cannot decide which shade to get but I have to say Moonspun with that red lipstick looks absolutely gorgeous on you Muse!
4/12/13 10:54 Agata:
I love purples
4/12/13 10:57 Michelle:
These shadows look so fun, but I hate, loath and abhor fallout, especially sparkly fallout. I may just have to drool over these from a distance.
Love your lip color in these photos! I know you say you can't wear reds, but the first picture is very flattering – especially with the orang-red color What colors are you wearing for these shots?
4/12/13 11:38 Nadia:
You look stunning Muse! My favorite look is the first one with the red lips! I don't think I would have the patience to apply these eyeshadows but they look really nice!
4/12/13 11:51 ms.laura:
I also cannot stand fallout. I just don't have the time in the morning to deal with it. Not to mention, it's horribly embarrassing to talk to someone and you have glitter all over your freakin face. I'm an educator and students will point out every little detail to you. These are gorgeous, but I can totally see the glitter on your cheeks in your photos. Definitely not for me! But, of course, you look super cute
4/12/13 12:33 Saira:
Omg you look so gorgeous in that moonspoon swatch photo with red lipstick!!
4/12/13 13:45 Kimmwc03:
I'm going to add another compliment. You look lovely in all these photos esp. the first one. Stunning.
4/12/13 13:54 Kate:
As soon as you said these were challenging to work with, I stopped reading and just scrolled down to the pics! (I finished reading later, BTW) Why? Because I am horribly impractical, and I want to declare these must-haves in my life. I don't want to face the reality that they might be a pita!
And yes, the "ostrich" technique isn't such a big deal when coping with make up issues, but you should have seen the way I used to handle my finances!
I think Space Cowboy is my favorite on you, for sure! And I am willing to buy at least one to experiment with because they are so gorge. In my opinion, these look like they'd be worth some extra hassle for a special night time look. Urban Decay is my crack!
I'm not interested in these but, dang muse these all look great on you! Moonspun especially! (I feel like I am copying everyone else's comments, lol but its really true, the effect is worth the effort!)
4/12/13 15:35 Miss D:
Beautiful, beautiful Muse! You look so pretty in these…I'll definitely have to get one of these. Have a great weekend.
4/12/13 15:44 the rock Lobster:
Hi Muse!
Are these not supposed to be super shimmery???? I read on their website that they are supposed to be packed with sparkle. I dont understand what too shimmery means? Did you like stardust better?
This review is your first review thats left me slightly confused!
4/12/13 15:56 The Rock Lobster:
did you try them wet or dry?? they advise trying them wet, which would help with the fall out right?
Obvs I'm trying to make a case as to why I need these in my life!
4/12/13 16:19 The Rock Lobster:
It's on the first page of their website it says in the ad for moondust "we recommend trying with your fingers. For extra intense colour payout, try it wet"
4/12/13 16:24 The Rock Lobster:
4/12/13 16:28 The Rock Lobster:
You deleted my comment about the ad advising that they recommend using the shadows wet, why would you do that muse??
4/12/13 17:39 Beauty lova:
Hi muse! They advertise using these shadows wet, are you going to review them with a wet application???
4/15/13 23:32 Tania:
Hi muse! I love these looks!
I just wanted to say that I use these wet and they're super easy to work with that way. I just wet my brush lightly and pat on my lid! Way less fall out and definitely no fall out during the day! In love!!! Sparkle is my life!
4/12/13 17:41 Beauty lova:
Oopsie should have read your comments, they say to try them wet in the advertisement
4/12/13 19:18 Bella:
Wow! These look gorgeous on you. Glitterrock must be mine. I did read on another blog you can use these wet and it makes the colors super intense. I love shadows I can use wet or dry. So versatile! Thanks for the review
4/12/13 19:55 Themakeupism:
You look lovely in these when I seen Moonspoon on you I literally thought "Va Va Voom". I do like the other looks on you as well, they are more soft and subtle but the lips with Moonspoon really made it pop. I really like these, along with the new shades of eyeliner they put out. *Sigh* Just when I decide I have too much make up, I see gorgeous stuff like this.
4/12/13 20:20 Nat:
Ooooh, Muse these are pretty! I guess it's the sparkles, but they kind of make your lids look glossy, like they're moist! I love that look 😀
4/12/13 21:24 amy:
After I get the KvD Ladybird palette (and maybe an Inglot 40 pan-as a 40th Bday present, LOL), I was *planning* a "no-buy" until New Years, but I don't think I'll be able to resist buying all of these…
4/13/13 2:32 melissa:
I feel like these are "going out" shadows and for that I have my beloved chanel's lol. I might order one if a good sale pops up but much like pink lip gloss, if i never bought another sparkly eyeshadow, I could have enough until I die. LOL I don't mind a damp brush on shadows but straight wet annoys me too. Anyhow thanks for the review, I agree you look best in the first look.
4/13/13 5:45 Ryou:
Looks like the formula could benefit from a sticky base like Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy or Too Faced Shadow Insurance Glitter Glue. Sparkles are the prettiest when they stay where we want them, after all! 😛
4/13/13 12:28 BeautyMaven:
What concealer are you wearing under your eyes in these pictures?! It looks amazing!!
4/13/13 14:04 Celine:
Hey Muse,
They all look gorgeous on you ! Great application job…What mascara are you wearing?
Lashes lookin good!!!
I was going to skip these but I cant resist shimmer and sparkle so I have to have moondust and space cowboy . For those "special nights out " LOL!
Youre swatches are spot on !
That second lip color – I NEED! Beautiful, as always!
4/13/13 21:17 Ashley:
These are sooooooo pretty!!! And they look so good on you! I really like Zodiac on you with the red lips! Great pairing of lip colors for these in your pictures btw!
4/14/13 2:41 Gabriella:
I wanted zodiac previously… Then I saw the swatch and was like hmm maybe I don't need it… And.THEN I saw it on your lids. Yeah. I need it. Lol your looks are fab btw
4/15/13 2:30 Janelle:
Ok just to help little ole me out. I put down bare study and then the eyeshadow primer? I have been doing primer than bare study then the ud shadow. I will try your way and hope it helps fall out
4/15/13 11:45 Abbey W:
Hi, Muse will you be trying these wet?
Just kidding
They are very pretty, and I love that first look with the red lips for a hot night out! That's pretty much the only use I would have for these. I'll probably wait for a friends and family sale to pick one or two up. Thanks for the review and lovely photos!
4/17/13 18:02 Melissa:
I only got diamond dog from this collection just to try it out & I used my finger as that's what the site said to do when I bought it. I was actually surprised at the LACK of fall out with this shadow! I'm guessing it was due to the finger application so maybe that will help? I did not use this wet as I also hate using wet shadows. I layered it over a paint pot from MAC while that was still tacky, didn't waste any time patting the Moondust over top & it worked like a charm! I tried to blend the edges with a brush & it got glitter everywhere so I'd just avoid tools altogether here, seems to work better with the finger & gives more color payoff.
4/22/13 23:13 Terri:
I arrived here from Temptalia and just had to comment….your eyes in that first photo look SO big and beautiful it makes me wanna put on some dark sunglasses and call it a day!
Seriously though, you look amazing!!! And the red lips look really great on you too.
7/15/13 13:00 Lin:
OMG I love youuu! You do the best reviews ever!! I've been trying to find someone who can wear it seperately to show us how the eyeshadows look alone and you did a great job!!! Thank youuu!

YIELD: Serves 4
- 1 1/2 pounds (700g) skirt steak, cut into 4 portions
- 1 head of escarole
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- a little extra virgin olive oil
- 4 tablespoons (50g) unsalted butter
- 1 thick slice of chewy peasant style bread
- generous 3/4 cup (180ml) extra-virgin olive oil
- 20 shelled hazelnuts
- grated or finely shredded zest of 1 orange
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- small bunch of oregano, leaves only
Set the steaks aside on a covered plate to bring them to room temperature.
For the picada, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Tear the bread roughly into pieces. Heat the olive oil in a shallow pan over medium heat. When it is hot, add the bread and pan-fry until evenly golden and crisp. (Take care that the olive oil does not become too hot and begin to smoke.) Remove and drain off excess oil. Pound the bread, in batches if necessary, using a mortar and pestle, until you have coarse bread crumbs. Place the nuts on a baking sheet and roast in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes until evenly golden. Tip the hot nuts into a clean dry cloth and rub to remove the skins. Mince the nuts and place in a bowl with the bread crumbs, orange zest, and juice. Mince the garlic and oregano together and add to the bowl with a pinch of salt. Stir to combine, then set aside. Turn the oven to its lowest setting.
Discard the outer leaves from the escarole, then tear the lettuce into large pieces. Wash well, but don't bother to pat dry. Season the steaks liberally all over. Place a heavy skillet over high heat and brush the steaks with a little olive oil. Lay the steaks in the skillet when it is hot and cook without moving for 3 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side for 3 minutes (you may need a minute or two longer if the steaks have been cut from a thicker section of the thigh). You should have a nice brown crust, while the meat inside should be rare. Remove to a plate and rest in the warm oven for 6 to 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the escarole. Place a wide pan over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it just melt, then add the torn leaves and seasoning. Put the lid on until the water clinging to the leaves begins to steam, then uncover and stir every few seconds so the leaves wilt uniformly. This will take 2 to 3 minutes. Now you should have a lovely glossy, pale green vegetable. Check the seasoning. Place a steak on each warm serving plate and arrange the escarole alongside. Spoon over the picada and serve at once.

14 Day Healthy Volunteer Study
Anadys recently completed dosing healthy volunteers in a 14-day study conducted to extend the safety and pharmacokinetic profile of ANA598. Thirty subjects participated in the study, with eight subjects receiving ANA598 and two subjects receiving placebo at each dose level (400 mg once-daily, 800 mg once-daily and 600 mg bid). Subjects received ANA598 or placebo on day one followed by pharmacokinetic assessment over days two and three and received subsequent doses consecutively on days four through fourteen. Preliminary results from the study indicate that ANA598 was generally well-tolerated in all cohorts with no serious adverse events, although three subjects receiving ANA598 (two in the 800 mg once-daily cohort and one in the 600 mg bid cohort) developed grade 2 rash and discontinued treatment after either six or seven days of consecutive dosing. There were no other instances of rash in this or any other study of ANA598. Data receipt and analysis from this study is continuing, and the Company expects to present the results at a clinical conference later this year. The Company believes the results of this study, combined with the results of the Phase Ib study in HCV patients, contribute to the attractive profile of ANA598 as an antiviral likely to be active in long-term studies in combination with pegylated interferon and ribavirin, and help position the program to be ready for Phase II in mid-2009.
Long-term Toxicology Studies
In September 2008, Anadys initiated long-term, chronic toxicology studies of ANA598, of 26 weeks duration in rats a

Spotlight on: Northcoast & The Giant Redwoods
Walking among giants and savoring sparkling vintages
Embark on a great odyssey to a land of lighthouses, vineyards and gargantuan trees that cars can drive through. In this mystical land, you'll discover sunsets that are unlike anywhere else in the world, coastal highways that beckon you to drive just one more mile and towns that have preserved their history and are waiting for you to discover it. Your next great adventure begins now in the region known as the North Coast of California.
Giant Redwoods Oh, if these trees could talk, they would have stories that date back to the origins of Christianity. Standing as centurions over California's North Coast, these ancient organisms watch and guard as generation after generations come to marvel at their size. The giant redwoods that stand 300 feet tall and are more than 20 feet in diameter are some of the biggest trees in the world and date back 2,000 years or more.
You can start your tour of the giant redwoods in Humboldt County on the Avenue of the Giants. Old Highway 101 takes drivers on 31 miles of majestic beauty into the Humboldt Redwood State Park that has the last stand of virgin redwoods in the world. While you're at the Humboldt Redwood State Park, you can take advantage of a dozen or so hiking trails that lead you through the ancient hush of the forest. Make sure to set aside some time to visit the various memorial groves located along the trails.
How cool do you think it would be to drive through a giant redwood? Well there are only three giants remaining in California that you can take a car through (you might lose your AC unit if you try to take the RV). They're all privately owned and do charge for the novelty, but you'll want to do it anyway. The closest to Humboldt is the Shrine Drive-Thru Tree at Myers Flat. It's located just four miles south of the Humboldt Redwood State Park Visitors Center.
Get ready to see more redwoods at the next park, located at the junction of U.S. Route 101 and Coastal Highway 1. Here you'll find the Drive-Thru Chandelier Tree Park. Inside the park you'll find a giant redwood shaped like an ornate chandelier. And the third drive-through tree is located in the Redwoods National and State Park in Del Norte County, where the redwoods meet the sea.
Lighthouses Del Norte County has two historic lighthouses. One sits 144 feet above the sea at St. George's Reef. The light was first lit in 1892 and re-lit in 2012. Unfortunately, there are currently no tours of this light.
The next lighthouse you'll want to check out is the Battery Point Lighthouse, which you can see from Crescent City. This little light that could is built in a Cape Cod style with the light tower protruding from the center of the dwelling. The Battery Point Lighthouse lived through the Tsunami of 1964, losing only a few panes of glass from three windows. Today, you can visit the Battery Point Lighthouse and Museum. The light still guards the coast near Crescent City as a private navigational aid.
You'll want to make sure you have your camera handy because six more lighthouses dot the North Coast, each with a distinctive design, and you'll want to see them all.
After visiting the lights near Crescent City, travel down highway 101 and visit the Trinidad Lighthouse, the Humboldt Harbor Lighthouse and the Punta Gorda Light. The final three are the Cape Mendocino Lighthouse, Point Cabrillo Lighthouse and the Point Arena Lighthouse. Most are open for public tours and have museums associated with them. These structures truly are postcard-worthy sights.
Wine After you've filled your camera with the beautiful sights of the redwoods and the coastal areas, it will be time to kick back and relax with a nice glass of wine or two and the best place to find some is in Sonoma County.
Sonoma is the southern-most county along the North Coast and is known for fine vintages. Sonoma County has over 60,000 acres of vineyards with 370 wineries and 15 American viticultural areas. There are 23 varietals of grapes grown and wine produced in Sonoma including Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Riesling and Zinfandel. It's no surprise that many wine aficionados have labeled Sonoma County as the No. 1 wine destination in the United States.
Take in a little History There are many small towns along the North Coast that have a story to tell. For instance, visitors to Glen Ellen can stop by the Jack London State Park, which is where the writer of White Fang and other notable titles lived until his death in the early 1900s. The park once housed London's Beauty Ranch. The cottage that he and his wife lived in is still on the park grounds.
In a small town called Willits you'll find the Roots of Motive Power in the Mendocino County Museum. This exhibit houses railroad artifacts and steam-powered equipment, illustrating the diverse history of the Northern California redwood industry.
Also in Willits is the Seabiscuit Heritage Foundation, an organization formed to promote Ridgewood Ranch at the home and final resting place of the legendary racehorse Seabiscuit.
Be sure to set aside time to explore all the little towns that make the North Coast interesting and fun.

With the price of recycled materials going up, police say the chances of theft are rising also.
On April 9 Williston Police arrested Malina Gaye Browning, 39, of Southeast Fourth Street, and Robert Rutlin, 49, of Southeast Fourth Drive, on charges of dealing in stolen property.
The two were charged with taking a variety of items from a local yard and then taking it to a local recycling company.
A Williston woman was arrested last week on six warrants, two each from Marion, Levy and Alachua counties.
Law enforcement officials seized more than a ton of marijuana and arrested four people last Wednesday in raids in the Williston area, shutting down what is believed to be the largest indoor grow site in Levy County history.
The estimated street value of the drugs was $1.2 million.
According to the Levy County Sheriff's Office, a federal warrant was executed at 4150 N.E. 167th Court by the Levy County-Chiefland Drug Task Force and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
A face familiar to former students in all parts of Levy County is entering the race for school superintendent.
Robert Hastings, who retired as Chiefland High principal nearly two years ago, said last Thursday that he would enter the race.
While attending the Williston baseball game, he was asked if "rumblings of a candidacy" were true. "There are no rumblings," he said with a smile. "I'm running."
The Class Reunion Committee of 1998 wants you to remember to mark your calendar regarding upcoming events that will take place on May 24. That day from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the reunion will kick off at Johnny T. Henry Park (one block behind Hardee's). There will be hot dogs and hamburgers with all their necessities. Please bring your significant other, your family, blankets and chairs for your convenience.

KISSIMMEE - The Williston softball team finished with a 2-1 record in the Kissimmee Klassic tournament last week, good enough for fifth place in the 16-team White Division of the 48-team event.
The Lady Devils won the first game over Tallahassee Chiles, 12-1, fell to Mount Dora Bible, 11-5, and knocked off Satellite, 6-4. The Devils were scheduled to play Bradford for fifth place but the game was rained out. However, Williston won the coin toss for the spot in the bracket.
Here are summaries of each game.
The Williston Red Devils defeated Lake Weir, 11-10, Wednesday night to reach the finals of the Red Devil Challenge.
Williston will play Dunnellon tonight at 7. The Tigers swept through their half of the bracket unbeaten, as did Williston.
In the tournament, the Red Devils won their first two games, knocking off P.K. Yonge, 8-7, and beating Gainesville, 17-14.
Consider this scenario: You're stuck in heavy traffic on a busy highway. Another car cuts off the driver in front of you, forcing him to slam on the brakes. You try to stop, but there's no time ... and you rear-end the guy in front of you.
An everyday accident? Not this time. Turns out you've been had by a well-organized criminal ring that staged the entire thing.
BRONSON - There were 21 people convicted of felonies in Levy County from March 1 through March 31, according to records.
Following are the people and the crimes for which they were convicted:
* Alfredo Aragon, 21, of Newberry, grand theft of a vehicle.
* Richard Blackshear, 24, of Newton, Ga., aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
* Keith A. Colson, 46, of Chiefland, fleeing and attempting to elude a law enforcement officer.
* Dennis Malone Daniels, 23, of Dunnellon, possession of cocaine.

Active Questions
|Sex & Intimacy / 8:23 PM - Friday July 18, 2008
Cutting off their clits
Female circumcision occurs in some African countries. In the UK, many Somali immigrants want their daughters to be circumcised, but Western doctors refuse to perform the operation because they say it's barbaric. (The clitoris and labia are removed, making sex very painful for the women.)
- Asked by curvysmartgirl, A Creative, Female, 46-55, Dallas, Artist / Musician / Writer
I think it's an awful, barbaric and inhumane thing to do to a daughter. I can't even imagine the levels of depravity and vicious control that lead people to believe that this is a civilized way to treat their own children.
- Response by regnadkcin, A Father Figure, Male, 56-65, Boston, Artist / Musician / Writer
There's no comparison to the two.......regardless of the degree of the operation in the case of the female. The sole purpose is to remove any pleasant feelings that the female might feel during sexual intercourse.
- Response by nuttyprofessor, A Guy Critical, Male, 66 or older, Transportation
In civilized countries, we should not support any ritual that we know to be cruel and unusual. Doctors are to heal the sick; not cause the pain.
- Response by randyl, A Thinker, Female, Who Cares?, Technical
It is WORSE than barbaric!!!!
- Response by rafiki910, A Mr. Nice Guy, Male, Who Cares?, Boston, Body Work
Quite honestly, they should bring an end to all genital mutilation, including circumcision.
- Response by curadvent, A Father Figure, Male, 46-55, Who Cares?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
- Response by anonymouse32, An Alternative Girl, Female, 18-21
it is because of the nasty side effects afterwards that can arise... painfull intercorse is only one, if they do happen to become pregnant, and have the child vaginaly then it can cause harm to both mother and child, due to haveing that operation done the skin in the area often will not stretch to the proper size causeing either mom tearing from front to back, or baby not being able to come out at all... yes i know there is tearing even with out it, but it is fixable and the mom does not bleed out
- Response by A Creative, Female, 26-28, Medical / Dental
intolerant ?the people should be tourtured for doing that to their chiidren,,all so they will never enjoy sex,,so men can do as they please with then and they feel no pleasure ,,now thats insane culture no culture,,it should not be allowed,,the ones that butcher their daughters with broken glass and some die from either bleeding to death or infection just sickening,
- Response by swemur1, A Creative, Female, 46-55
Sexual mutilation of any child, boy or girl, is a heinous barbaric crime that ought to be punished by hanging.
- Response by greenwind, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 56-65, Construction
not at all. let them look for a doctor that will. there are doctors here that won't do certain things. it's their choice!
- Response by imissit, A Sweet Sarah, Female, 66 or older, Who Cares?
Any British doc who agrees to perform this barbaric practice should have their license revoked.
- Response by stoney07, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 66 or older, Who Cares?
- Response by two469, An Alternative Girl, Female, 18-21, Seattle, Science / Engineering
No one should be supporting this practice. If they feel in Somali that their girls should undergo this barbaric ritual maybe they should cut off their sons balls too!! Bet that wouldnt go over very well....
- Response by A Career Woman, Female, 56-65, St.Louis, Administrative
In Western medicine one of the first tenants is "Dr. Do no harm!" Apparently, many doctors still take this credo seriously, and I laud them for it. Just because a behavior is ingrained in a culture, it doesn't make it right. If canibals came to the UK should we respect their tradition of killing and eating people? IJS
- Response by richfromringgold, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 46-55, Who Cares?
No, actually a doctor has a responsibility not to perform a procedure he/she believes is unnecessary and all surgery is dangerous due to the possibility of infection. If a priest were to read the bible Mark 9:45 says "If your hand offends you, cut it off," and a Christian were to ask a doctor to remove his hand, he should refuse just the same.
- Response by kjm16216, A Mr. Nice Guy, Male, 36-45, Philadelphia, Technical
I don't care if it's intolerant or not. It shouldn't be allowed. The West doesn't allow honor-killings either. Does that mean our laws are intolerant of the cultures who do?
- Response by justpassingthru, A Thinker, Female, 56-65, Financial / Banking
"Corksoaker" is 100% on point. I studied this practice in length, and if you saw some of the pictures or even some of the methods and "tools" used to perform these procedures, it would turn your stomach.
- Response by realman2000, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 29-35, Norfolk, Medical / Dental
I think about this somewhat differently. Often, like male circumcision, female circumcision is for religious purposes. I dont feel anyone should impose on others religious beliefs. Noone minds when people baptise their children before the children even know what is going on. I realize this is very painful but many religions celebrate pain as it helps the human mind to understand the suffering of Jesus Christ. Im sure pain is used in other religious ceremonies as well. As with any religion, parents are expected to help their children follow the rules before the children can make their own minds up.
- Response by chicharlie, A Hippie Chick, Female, 29-35, Pittsburgh, Teaching
I think circumcision of females, well, there would be no sex at all then.
- Response by A Sweet Sarah, Female, 46-55, Administrative
The hippocratic oath is to do not harm. Primitive culture does not supersede common sense.
- Response by gilpill, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 46-55, Chicago, Internet / New Media
It is barbaric and I would actually consider it torture! Would it be ok to remove a guys penis head?????
- Response by gmaloves13, A Sweet Sarah, Female, 56-65, Other Profession
no its not. doing that is very cruel. i undersatnd its a custom and a tradition in that country...but it shouldn't be expected for others to want to be apart of it.
- Response by phenomenal1woman, A Thinker, Female, 46-55, Chicago
We have to draw the line somewhere, and I think this is one of those cases where, yeah, the doctors should say no. Like they should say no to male circumcision, but they don't. :(
- Response by glopsey, A Thinker, Female, 29-35, Milwaukee, Student
Quite the contrary, I applaud the doctors' good judgement and their adherance to their oath to protect/preserve health. Further,to clarify, I am not only speaking out in defense of the doctors, I am speaking out against this custom!
- Response by ladyraponzel, A Thinker, Female, 66 or older, Baltimore, Administrative
Calling an offensive or abusive practice "cultural" does not make it okay. Wrong is wrong.
- Response by greekattorney, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 36-45, Political / Government
It is totally barbaric and wrong...and doctors are right to refuse to do it.
- Response by tomtomcat, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 56-65, New York, Teaching
I'm pretty sure doctors have the right to refuse to do something they feel is immoral. If I were a doctor I certainly wouldn't be performing female circumcision. I know this is going to sound extremely judgmental but I honestly feel that a culture that practices this is severely misguided when it comes to the welfare of their girls. I feel the same way about chest ironing. I'm usually pretty decent about practicing cultural relativity but this bothers me.
- Response by xxpandoraxx, An Alternative Girl, Female, 26-28
.......should physicians be mandated to perform abortions?
- Response by A Career Woman, Female, 56-65, Other Profession

MIDIval PunditZ
Gaurav Raina and Tapan Raj a.k.a. the MIDIval PunditZ are spearheading the
Asian electronica musical revolution from their home base in New Delhi with
their raw energy in their music and their radical DJ-sets at Cyber Mehfils -
events the two produce inspired by Talvin Singh's influential Anokha club night
in the U.K. Their love of Indian classical music is intrinsic to their
aesthetic, as is their natural fusion of crushing beats and insistent digital
The musical partnership of India's Gaurav Raina and Tapan Raj dates back to their childhood years. Having cemented their acquaintance in grade school, several years' separation would ensue before the two reunited in 1994. Each member brought his unique talents to the party: Gaurav was an architecture student who moonlighted as a radio DJ and Tapan, an IT specialist by day, engineered at a New Delhi recording studio where Gaurav's station booked time. Both were veterans of India's dance club culture and, more importantly, both shared a love of the spare yet soulful classical music of their homeland. Pooling funds begged from relatives and friends, the two set up their own studio and, by 1997, their partnership had coalesced into the MIDIval PunditZ.
Much as both Gaurav and Tapan liked the imported hip-hop, breakbeat, house and especially the drum'n'bass sounds of their club-hopping nights, the foreign sounds, "Didn't leave an impression," by Tapan's account. Dedicating themselves to a fusion of their beloved classical ragas with the beats and loops of electronica, the nascent PunditZ circulated pressings of their initial efforts on New Delhi's club circuit. These were well received, setting the stage for their initial contact with Talvin Singh, whose musical hybrids of Indian raga and electro-beats were gaining international notice. His positive response to the duo's demos led to their meeting in 1998 when Singh visited India. In addition to the PunditZ being asked to contribute a track for Singh's second Anokha compilation, they became part of Tabla Beat Science .
The MIDIval PunditZ have gained instant notoriety in the U.S. with their featured track in the hit film Monsoon Wedding and their recent involvement with Bill Laswell's Tabla Beat Science Project. They were also a featured act in 2002's Asian Massive tour, which had sold out shows in both Los Angeles.
The MIDIval PunditZ are the first-ever Indian electronica band to sign to an international label.
