A sour smoothie
Yesterday I took a break and went to the kitchen to make a smoothie. I flipped on the radio, more out of habit than intention. My husband says we may have "radio wars" in our house, he not being a big fan of NPR. Here is our slight philosophical difference: My feeling is that I am grounded enough in the faith to "take" whatever they throw at me, while my husband's view is (to paraphrase ineloquently) "Why listen to crap?"
I tuned in to our local NPR affiliate, WHYY in Philadelphia, and the program that was airing at the moment was in the middle of a discussion about a book titled Fifty Shades of Grey, the first of a trilogy. The host of Radio Times, Marty Moss-Coane, American as apple pie, paused to remind the listening audience that this was "an adult conversation."
I have heard Christians interviewed on this station with thinly veiled contempt and poison-tipped questions, as if they were child abductors. Not so for the University of Indiana "sexual research scientist" and the writer for Salon.com, whose erudition was received with respect and unchallenged deference.
Shades is about a "BDSM" relationship-which is an acronym I just learned in 2011, having barely caught up with that other de rigueur term, GLBT. I don't want to say I'm far behind the pack, but I was startled by the phrase "BDSM community." (You mean there's more than two or three people doing this?)
The matter would not be worth troubling you with if it were a whacky fringe phenomenon, but the point of the interview was that the books and movement and commercial tie-ins have taken off like gangbusters. The genre is being called "mommy porn" because the largest readership is married women over 30. All the phone calls coming into the program except two (lonely voices in the wilderness) were enthusiastic. One was an 80-year-old woman who passes her books on to her friends.
An excerpt of the conversation:
Moss-Coane: "Do you think that … women will be more open-minded [as a result of this book]? Do you see this as breaking taboos and opening the door to breaking other taboos?"
Guest commentator: "I think it might. … I do see in the last few years a lot more public conversation about open relationships ... 'monogamesh'-to be monogamous but sometimes sexual with other people. So there are different terms that people use. … I do think that that's going to be another taboo we're going to see broken down. I think there are just so many people who are living their lives and their relationships in some sort of more interesting, nuanced way, rather than just 'monogamous or not.' And I think we can't help but start to talk about that more and, hopefully, eventually accept that more. …
"Increasingly we are accepting the fact that monogamy can and often does fail, and we are coming up with new and creative ways to address that … and that in general we're becoming more accepting of non-traditional family formations … so that gay marriage has become so much more acceptable. The transformation in that arena has become spectacular. …We're seeing a major transformation in our openness to conceiving of different family and romantic formulations. …"
So I drank my sour smoothie down but felt like tearing my robes from top to bottom and throwing ashes on my head.

Warren Zevon covers "A Certain Girl", originally an Ernie K-Doe track recorded by Allen Toussaint. It appeared on Zevon's 1980 album Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School; the version below was recorded live on October 1, 1982 at Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ.
French Quarter Fest is rapidly approaching; this year's festival will be happening from Thursday, April 9 to Sunday April 12. WWOZ will be there broadcasting live for those of you who can't make it in person.
With less than three weeks to go, check out these lesser-known facts about one of New Orleans' biggest and fastest growing festivals:
Irvin Mayfield, Jr.'s New Orleans Jazz Orchestra (NOJO) has found its permanent home at the New Orleans Jazz Market at the corner of Oretha Castle Haley and MLK Blvd. in the old Gators department store building.
The 2015 Freret Street Festival is happening on Saturday, April 4 from 11am-5pm. Free to attend, the festival has three stages with local music, plus over 150 local vendors, a food court, and pet adoption stations. It runs the length of Freret Street between Soniat and Napoleon. This year's full music lineup is below.
The Crescent City's Latin soul favorites, Los Po-Boy-Citos, do "Long Way Home (Back to New Orleans)" from their 2010 Brand New Dance album. You can catch Los Po-Boy-Citos at French Quarter Fest: 11a on Sunday, April 12.

Here's Walter "Wolfman" Washington in a beautifully shot live performance from last July's North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam. The YouTube poster mistakenly identifies the song as "Funk Is in the House"; it's actually a cover of the Tyrone Davis hit "Can I Change My Mind", which went to #1 on Billboard's R&B charts in February 1969.
Muddy Waters performs "I'll Put A Tiger In Your Tank" live at the Newport Jazz Festival in July 1960, one of three Willie Dixon songs he performed that day (the others were "I Got My Brand on You" and "I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man").

What goes into our signature tote? Here it is by the numbers: 2 pieces of fine leather are used for the body. 8 inch strap drop: long enough to sling over your shoulder, but short enough to hold as a top handle. 1 interior side zip pocket to keep your keys, phone and wallet at the ready. 24: the number of hours in a day that this bag looks cool. How often you'll reach for it? 500 gazillion times.
The Transport Tote
Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 713 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MDWindy Smells Delicious The quality of the bag is awesome - the stitching is well done, the zipper is sturdy, and the leather is great - but most importantly, it smells delightful. I can't get over it. May 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sara1989 Perfect Bag for the Working Professional Love this bag. I was on the hunt for a purse big enough to transport my laptop, notebook, change of shoes, etc. over the work week and to/from client meetings. This bag can hold everything! The inside zip pocket is big enough to fit my keys, cell phone, mints, extra pens, etc.. The brown and black color combination matches just about every outfit. Wish it came with a matching wallet/clutch to transport my cosmetics. Super chic for the working professional! May 23, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by CAmeg the best bag for working Moms I bought this bag because my smaller go to purse was not cutting it now that I have to carry diapers, toys, wipes, clothes, etc. etc. etc. just to leave the house for 5 minutes. This is a great purse option for any Mom. The bag is gorgeous...much more stylish than any diaper bag I have ever seen. May 20, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ddwmb33141 Great gift I sent this to my sons girlfriend as a graduation gift. She loves the brand and was thrilled. The personalization was a plus. May 14, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Claire330 Wears well, keeps me organized. I bought this tote a year ago and have spent very little time without it since. It's simple and durable. There's a comfort knowing that everything I need pretty much lives inside it, which creates the illusion that I am an organized person. I don't treat mine preciously but it's worn beautifully, though I embrace the distress - worn leather feels very 1970s :) I definitely recommend that you buy this bag for yourself and as a gift. May 3, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by emmydee LOVE THIS TOTE!!! This tote is AMAZING! Big enough to contain a laptop for classes- but not too big if you want to use it as a purse or a bag to take to work (I work as a nurse!). Enough room for lunch too. I love the color (light brown) and the quality leather is outstanding. I am very excited to use this on trips too as it is perfect to take on a plane or a roadtrip. Also, I find that the straps are perfect length. I am 5'4" and tiny and sometimes bigger totes tend to swamp me- but not this one! It's literally perfect! I love the inside zipped small pocket also. May 3, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by lgrass24 This is a great bag! I love this bag! I carry it everyday, it looks great with everything from sweats to dresses to work attire. I'm so glad I finally took the plunge and purchased this bag, its' so well crafted and the added detail of the monogram adds a little something special to it. I would love to own it in every color! April 29, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by JMT12 The Perfect Every Day Tote Beautiful leather and sturdy! Straps do seem flimsy and thin but hold up nicely when the bag is filled with heavier objects and books. I'm so happy with this purchase!! Sure, there are various totes to choose from but nothing compares to this classic tote made so well. April 23, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by ksherm12 Great bag This bag is fabulous overall! It would nice to have a bigger pocket inside but love the size of the bag. The only other downfall would be the straps, they are about an inch to short. April 22, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by LBF22 Great everyday bag that lasts forever! I've had this bag for about four years. I've carried it pretty much every day filled with lots of heavy law books. I thought it would eventually break because the straps do look thin, but it hasn't even gotten close. Still looks amazing and sturdy as ever. Will probably buy another one in a new color sometime soon. I highly recommend!!! April 10, 2016

When you think of your childhood, nostalgic sweet treats are probably one of your fondest memories – especially in summer when ice lollies and ice cream constituted for breakfast, lunch and dinner (well we could only dream!).
Whilst ice-cream already comes in a variety of popular alcoholic flavours including classic rum & raisin, Pina Colada (and even beer!), ice lollies are now joining the trend in the form of Poptails!
Created by master mixologist David Kay of Late Night London, and produced by Lickalix, the Poptail combines an ice lolly made from natural ingredients, dipped into a glass of dry Prosecco.
According to David this is "a perfect combination of alcoholic delight and cool refreshing flavours certain to have you hooked!
"I wanted to complement the nuances of the Prosecco with bespoke lollies that would collectively produce a unique taste sensation."
David's creation is currently available in raspberry and passionfruit flavour, and is served at a number of London bars including: The Sterling, Grace Bar, The Gable and The Last.
Of course alcohol flavoured ice lollies are not a new trend, with various cocktail flavours being frozen to create a less than innocent icy treat!
With anything from Cosmopolitans to Pimms being made into lollies, the options for indulging are endless!
So while the kids are enjoying their (non-alcoholic!) fruity lollies, you can join in with your own adult-only version to help you unwind after a stressful week!

"And on the other side of the coin there has been no evidence that Ducati didn't listen to Stoner either."
Ok, there is no solid evidence that they didn't listen to him but there is plenty to say that if they did listen they didn't do anything about it.
Stoner and Hayden got next to ZERO updates the last couple of years. Ducati's idea of an update in 2009 was to go back and forth between the carbon fiber swing arm and the aluminum one. Last year the "update" that Casey got was the forks from the previous year. They never addressed the front issue what so ever and from the outside looking end thought it to be down to the rider and rider confidence.
But for Rossi? They did an unplanned redesign of the subframe after the end of season test. They have gone through more than 1 change of that. They also got an updated electronics kit either last round or the one before. They announced earlier in the year about updates coming out throughout the year - they NEVER did that with Casey. Not e

I don't know about you, but I've had to pull all the stops out to keep these kids focused and learning. It's a tough time of year, and all these extra "gimmicks" to keep them learning have certainly come in handy!

Compiled by Sterling D. Allan
Pure Energy Systems News
August 9, 2014
Last week, July 31, 2014, at the TeslaTech conference, I went up to David Puchta, who was standing in the back of the lecture hall, enthralled by a plasma light toy. He showed me that as he placed his left and right index finger on the left and right side of the sphere, that there seemed to be a correlation between the dialogue of the speaker and where the plasma went. I tried it, and did notice that there did seem to be some kind of connection.
However, I don't think his hypothesis holds up in which he says that the plasma goes to the right finger when the speaker is addressing something that is known or understood to the person holding the plasma sphere; and it goes to the left when the speaker is addressing something unfamiliar or confusing.
Overall, it seems that the preponderance is about 50% on both the left and right, overall. However, the timing of when it switches does seem to correspond to the timing of what the speaker is saying, sometimes to the very syllables, as they are uttered.
My hypothesis of what is going on is that the plasma detects the human body's electrical response to dialogue taking place -- similar to a lie detector. This interplay should be characterized and possibly used for metering the same. It could be that this interaction could be fruitful in analysis, diagnosis, and treatment -- not to mention entertainment!
A little while later, we shot a video to show this effect.

I've posted a poll to get your input as to whether you think there is some kind of correlation.

The Integrated Design Charrettes from the EDR DesignShift™ team bring an interdisciplinary group of university students and professionals together with industry professionals to learn about integrated design and zero-net-energy building concepts.
DesignShift for Students is a two day interactive classroom session that exposes students to integrated design through sustainability, teaches them collaborative skills, and culminates in a mock project charrette in which design teams will have a finished design product to add to a portfolio. Key benefits of attendance include:
DesignShift for Professionals is a one day interactive workshop where professionals experience a repeatable collaborative design process that can be used immediately on their current projects. Key benefits of attendance include:
This charette will empower paritcipants to approach a design challenge from a variety of roles and perspective with trust and collaboration. The experience will highlight the interplay between disciplines and offer opportunities to create true integrated high-performance building solutions.
DesignShift... as a PROCESS
The integrated design process requires multidisciplinary analysis and accountability to meet high performance and sustainable design objectives that are environmentally, socially, and financially responsible. This must include: integrated design charrettes, performance analysis tools (such as the ones listed on the right), benchmarking, and commissioning. This is best achieved through the use of integrated design focused contracts and an integrated project delivery process.
DesignShift ... as a RESULT
The resulting design reflects environmentally, socially, and financially responsible design, and includes fully integrated site development, architecture, and MEP systems to achieve high performance, sustainable, and optimized design. Integrated design solutions can be broken into three major categories: interactive solutions, multi functioning solutions, and cross discipline solutions. These solutions work in harmony or in conjunction with sustainable systems, strategies, and technologies.
With a comprehensive understanding and correct implementation of integrated design, a building team can offer advanced high-performance solutions through more efficient and creative methods. In addition, integrated design offers a tremendous opportunity to design and construct better buildings, achieve capital and operational cost savings, and implement advanced design and construction strategies. The market transition to true integrated design requires evaluating a revised contractual structure, implementing more advanced early design discussions and decisions, and evaluating integrated solutions in detail to understand the cost implications.
This paper provides an overview of the DesignShift process and outlines its history, curriculum, team dynamics and implementation components.

"Gimme the Loot" follows Malcolm (Tysheeb Hickson) and Sofia (Tashiana R. Washington), a pair of scrappy young graffiti artists trying to make their mark on the Bronx scene. "From the first scene, in which the duo awkwardly jack paint canisters from a store and hop into their getaway car, Leon establishes his characters as a pair of lawbreakers living on the fringes of society but remain essentially innocent, giggly children," wrote Eric Kohn in his review out of SXSW. "Inhabiting the same bubble of hip-hop attitude as 'Wild Style' did nearly 30 years earlier, Leon's movie resurrects the subculture with genre charm and low-budget appeal."
What's Next: Leon told Indiewire that he's working on "something that's a little different. I'm so passionate about it that I'm paranoid to talk about it."
You grew up in lower Manhattan, not the Bronx. What inspired you to tell a story that's not based around the area you're most familiar with?
I made a short film a few years ago set in the Bronx. It was where most of the cast was from. I like to explore the city as much as possible. I'm familiar with different neighborhoods. It felt like that's where these characters would be from. I also felt like this area isn't shown on film that much.
What is it about the Bronx in particular that lends itself to you filmmaking sensibilities?
There is so much activity and vibrancy in that part of the Bronx -- Castle Hill, Parkchester area. The streets are alive. You put a camera there and you can capture a lot a flavor.
Given that you're not from the area, what's the reaction been like from Bronx folks who have seen "Gimme the Loot"?
So far the reaction hasn't been negative. There's been no outcry. There are two African-American main characters, but I don't think it's a quote-unquote black film. I think it's a New York community story. I think that when people watch the movie, they get that. Hopefully we were true to all the characters, not just the two leads.
That's where the element of surprise comes from; the films has this really authentic vibe, something you can't fake. How did you achieve that, while being truthful to the characters and their world?
Part of it just being around the city and listening to conversations and being observant of all different kinds of people in the city. Part of it is really collaborating with my cast, and not being shy about needing that authenticity and asking questions.
I think that we all, as a crew, could tell when something felt false. We always made sure we got it right.
Did you encourage your cast to improv, or was it pretty tightly scripted?
It's pretty tightly scripted. I definitely encouraged them to use their own words, always. I would say that scenes themselves were rarely fully improvised. In general, we would say, "Okay you're going to ask for this, and you're going to say no, and you're going to convince her by saying this." I scripted everything, but I was willing to let the actors play with it. But some of the actors didn't like to do that. Some of them had a harder time to do anything that was on the page.

Some lessons shouldn't be so hard to learn
March 29, 2012
Shoes or a book? When I was a kid, I picked up the habit of reading while I walked. The Hardy Boys when I was going to the store. Or a newspaper, the sports section usually, when I was walking home from my paper route. People always figured I'd end up walking in front of a car. Hasn't happened yet. A few days ago, I had this book vs. shoes dilemma because I've been walking to work lately. I usually carry a pair of dress shoes I put on when I get to the office. But carrying a pair of shoes and reading a book at the same time are incompatible. Usually, the shoes make the cut. But this morning I was reading a book I couldn't put down.

Some of us have been waiting a lifetime for this
January 20, 2011
Although I enjoy almost all sports, I don't typically use this column to talk about those things. An editorial should be about important national topics such as our more than $14 trillion national debt, increasing health care costs and the use of politics by some to make excuses or try to explain why an insane man shot people at an Arizona grocery store. An editorial typically should be an opinion about a local issue such as the rescue and fire services disagreement between Geneva Township and the Lake Geneva Fire Department or whether the Walworth County District Attorney's Office should have filed charges against Lake Geneva city staff for mismanagement.

High profile court case coverage will continue
March 08, 2012
Weve recently taken some heat regarding our coverage of two high profile felony cases now going through the Walworth County court system.Thats understandable. People can have their say and we will listen. However, there appears to be a misunderstanding as to what are the responsibilities and duties of a newspaper and communication company when it comes to covering these types of situations. I think this is a perfect time to attempt to clarify to our readers as to how and why we report the things we do.
Main Street traffic improvements must be done
March 01, 2012
Sometimes there are difficult choices local government officials must make. There are always two sides to an issue. Theres taxpayer money involved and seemingly always the way of life and future of the municipality at stake.One upcoming decision the Lake Geneva City Council will make is whether to install state-of-the-art traffic signals on Main Street at the intersections of Center and Broad streets. While a good percentage of most decisions are tough, this one is a no-brainer. I dont believe there is a choice in this matter. Just like the need for the Edwards Boulevard extension to Sheridan Springs Road, this is a need in the community that cant fall by the wayside.
You get a lot of news, information for $1.25
February 23, 2012
I can hear the voices ringing in my ears already.$1.25 for a local paper!?Its true. The Lake Geneva Regional News is going to $1.25 at stores a 25 cent per copy increase starting with the March 1 edition that hits the stands next Wednesday. Its our first single copy increase in eight years. Some newspapers cost more; some cost less. (And you can still pay less for the Regional News if you take out a subscription.)
Things to think about: Elections, open meetings, sidewalks

Snow is part of life in a Wisconsin winter
February 09, 2012
Its February and theres no snow on the ground. There are no piles of snow in parking lots or along the curbs, either. But, a few weeks ago the area was hit with a few inches and that had some business owners fired up about the citys snow removal process in the downtown. Their beef was on Saturday, Jan. 21, when some of their customers complained that they had to climb over a pile of snow at the curb to get from their car to the sidewalk.Lets take a closer look.
Difficult to understand, tougher to explain
February 02, 2012
When you read the words Tax Incremental Financing District, your eyes probably glaze over. This is a topic thats not extremely interesting, fun or easy to understand.But it is important. And although I am not positive I comprehend TIF in its entirety, I think its valuable for those outside the local governments to understand its positives and negatives.
Tebow? Wisconsin has it's own hero in Driver
January 26, 2012
Do you know that DDs first or second year, maybe 1999 or 2000, a few Packers came up to LG and played basketball in the gym at the Middle School for some event. I dont remember what it was, but Driver was here and he had the skinniest legs, but was amazingly athletic and dunked a few times. At the time, most people didnt even know who he was. Unbelievable that he turned out to be one of the greatest Packer players ever.The DD in this story is Packer receiver Donald Driver. And this was going to be a sports story about how the Packers are faced with the dilemma of keeping Driver, an aging hero, or let him go. It turned into more when Editor Lisa Seiser sent me an e-mail sharing her story of DD and his visit to LG. Its appropriate that as talk started about Drivers future, the Brewers went ahead and signed utility infielder and Wisconsin native Craig Counsel to their front office. A few weeks earlier, the Bucks hired the legendary Sydney Moncrief as an assistant coach. Class acts getting their just rewards in a state that values intangibles.
Outdoor dining great idea, answers needed first
January 19, 2012
For once I agree with everyone.The City Council is moving ahead with plans to allow outdoor dining in Lake Geneva. Potentially, its a great move forward to make an already great tourism community an even better one. The current ordinance prohibiting outdoor encroachments is outdated and provincial.I agree with Alderman Frank Marsala when he said, I always thought this was a good idea. This is a summer resort town and its a plus.

Based on some statistics, cars and bikes each carry a certain risk of death. According to those numbers, a motorist is exposed to a risk of death equal to about .47 per million driving hours. That means about 47 deaths per hundred million driving hours. A cyclist's risk is about .27 per million cycling hours, or 27 deaths per hundred million cycling hours.
Since a commuting cyclist takes roughly twice as long to cover the same distance as a motorist, the risk of death for both is about the same. This risk represents all cyclists, from child to club cyclist.
There is one factor that changes the whole picture, tipping the scales greatly in favor of bicycle commuting as significantly safer than driving a car: training in effective cycling.
Of course, who would believe that cycling is safer than motoring?
Most people still feel safer driving than flying a commercial airline, even though the risk of death per million flying hours is far less than either cycling or driving.

Off the strength of multiple, well-received mixtapes, 19-year-old MC and MTV PUSH Artist of the Week Mac Miller has established himself as a leader of the revivalist strain of modern hip-hop. Eschewing gangster posturing for emotional vulnerability and honesty, Miller's playful beats and fun-loving vibe hearkens back to the mid-'90s Golden Era of hip-hop, when creativity and reflection trumped machismo. Months ahead of the release of his official debut album (as yet unnamed), the Pittsburgh native is already selling out venues across the country, and we've got a slew of videos to bring you up to speed.
Underscoring Miller's nice-guy image, the rapper discusses the universal appeal of the "thumbs-up" gesture, followed by his take on his seemingly overnight, but long-gestating, career ascendancy. The rapper also talks about the need to be true to himself in his lyrics, noting that no matter what he says, someone's going to accuse him of lying.
And like Wiz Khalifa, the other Pittsburgh emcee doing it big, Miller's got a soft spot for his home city and is happy to share what sets Pittsburgh apart from every other American city. Finally, check out a very hyper Miller backstage in Boulder, Colorado, as well as a live performance of crowd favorite "Donald Trump." After checking out Mac Miller's videos, we know who'll be on repeat in the iPod this week.

The XFX GeForce9800GTX Black Edition card has a clock speed of 760MHz, which is a 85MHz overclock of the standard 9800GTX clock speed of 675MHz, a 20MHz overclock of the XT Edition and a 40MHz overclock of the XXX Edition. The Shader clock of 1900MHz compares quite favorably with the Shader Clock of 1698MHz of the standard 9800GTX, 1850MHz of the XXX and 1800MHz of the XT Edition from XFX.
Memory clock on the 9800GTX Black Edition is 2.28GHz. Standard 9800GTX memory speed is 2.2GHz, while the XT Edition and XXX Edition cards both have 2.2GHz memory clock speeds. The memory interface on the 9800GTX is 256-bit meaning that the 9800GTX Black Edition card has a memory bandwidth of almost 73GB/second which is plenty for the fill rate of the card. NVIDIA introduced their first DirectX 10 card, the 8800GTX in late 2006 and haven't looked back in terms of performance of video cards. The 9800GTX is a modified version of the 8800GT 512MB that was released last year based on the G92 chip. It is manufactured on the 65 nanometer process and has 754 million transistors. The card has 128 Stream Processors which are grouped into 8 groups of 16 SPs.

Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of antibiotics are routinely determined by broth or agar serial dilution methods or by agar diffusion methods. More recently, e-test was developed to reduce the time, labor, and materials used in MIC determination assays.
E-test is based on arraying a concentration gradient of each antibiotic on a polymer strip. Concentration values are marked on the other side of the strip so that one can easily locate corresponding concentrations. E-strips, also known as "epsilometers", are commercially prepared by microdispersing robotic machines that can deliver nanoliter volumes of antibiotic concentration along the strip.
Each antibiotic strip is laid on the surface of an inoculated agar plate. An elliptical zone of inhibition develops with the broad end at the top of the strip with the highest antibiotic concentration and the narrowest end at the lowest amount of antibiotic that can inhibit bacterial growth, i.e., minimum inhibitory concentration. Several different antibiotic e-strips can be tested simultaneously on the same agar plate. Therefore MIC's can be determined for many antibiotics in a single step with no need for dilution in broth or agar.
Also, e-test is applied routinely as a "culture sensitivity test" in some medical laboratories in place of the traditional Kirby-Bauer method. In addition to reduction of time and effort, e-test yields sensitivity test results in quantitative terms which makes interpretation of results more precise and easier than routine methods.
This Flash-animated movie illustrates the concept and steps for carrying out the e-test for MIC determination. This original animated artwork movie can be used in microbiology classrooms.

Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Tuesday constituted a task force to manage and expedite the regularisation of unauthorised colonies in Delhi.
Urban Development and Revenue Minister Arvinder Singh Lovely, who is also the Director of Local Bodies, will chair the task force aimed at completing all development work and providing civic amenities in these colonies and also dealing with grievances related to regularisation.
The task force was announced on Tuesday following a meeting of the Delhi Cabinet. The government is keen to expedite development works in unauthorised colonies and take the regularisation process to its logical conclusion at the earliest, Dikshit said.
The task force will include the three municipal commissioners, the divisional commissioner, Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC), Irrigation and Flood department, Public Works Department and the Delhi Jal Board (DJB).
She said the task force would report to Chief Secretary P K Tripathi.
The task force was constituted after a fracas over the regularisation process in the recently concluded monsoon session of the Delhi Assembly. Lovely had assured the Assembly that the issues would be sorted out.
The government had then come under fire from both the Opposition BJP who claimed the process was a farce and some Congress party MLAs, who complained of colonies in their constituencies not being included in the final list.
According to Dikshit, the task force would take decisions regarding the finalisation of layout plans and execution of development works, both vital to completing the regularisation process.
Two senior officers from the UD Department have been directed to provide any information and clarifications regarding regularisation and extend assistance to Residents Welfare Associations and residents living in unauthorised colonies.

DETROIT -The North American International Auto Show is attracting big crowds in Detroit. The auto show organizer say 208,675 people came to the public opening of the 2014 auto show this past Saturday and Sunday. That is more than came to opening weekend last year.
The annual event began Saturday at Cobo Center following a week of previews for journalists and others in the industry. A race-worthy Corvette, a sumptuous Mercedes C-Class, the new Lansign Made-Cadillac CTS and other glitzy models catch the eye at the show, which runs through Jan. 26.
Ford's aluminum-clad F-150 shows that automakers are figuring out how to improve fuel economy and still give Americans the big vehicles they want. Porsche's 911 Targa and pocket rockets from Volkswagen and Subaru demonstrate that buyers still love performance cars.
And new mainstream cars like the Honda Fit and Chrysler 200 will have to work hard to compete in a market that's not growing as fast as it once did.

SEC's Top 25 Players: No. 14 Landon Collins
Published: Tuesday, July 1, 2014 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 25, 2014 at 5:11 p.m.
No. 14 Landon Collins
School: Alabama
Year: Junior
Position: Safety
Height: 6-foot
Weight: 215 pounds.
Why he's No. 14: In some ways, Collins is still a newbie, but he has a chance to be one of the best defenders in the SEC this year.
He was one of the top 10 prospects in the country when he turned down nearby LSU for Alabama but spent the first year playing mostly special teams. Collins excelled, but when the start of the 2013 season came he was not in the starting lineup.
For the first month of the season, he still wasn't starting. But when he got into the starting lineup, Collins showed the physicality of a defensive back relishing the big hit.
He only had one interception last year, but he made it count as he returned it 89 yards for a touchdown against Tennessee.
This is how good Collins can be — he is projected as a first-round NFL pick if he chooses to come out after his junior year.
One thing that would please Nick Saban would be if Collins wasn't making so many tackles. When a safety is second on the team in tackles (Collins had 70), it's usually not a good sign for the front seven.

Abril shivered from the rain streaming from her shoulders to her breast. The water hung like teardrops from the end of her nipple. She trembled more from the lips sucking fire from her core to and through her other nub. She reveled in the pleasure that plowed her open to further exploration. The intensity of passion caused her to pull Eric from one nipple to the other. While he feasted on her flesh, she closed herself off to the sound of the rain falling on the rainforest canopy high above, the cool droplets dripping on her head and shoulders, the twittering of birds, and the buzzing of insects to enjoy the tsunami of readiness flooding her.
It was too much--too much. She pushed him away, unrolled her poncho, laid it on the leave strewn floor, removed her shorts, dropped to the fabric, and spread her legs wide, waiting. She watched him remove his cloths, unfold his raincoat, pull it over them, and crawl between her legs. She anticipated the head of his cock separating her vulva lips and was pleased at his size. With her hands on his hips, she urged him forward, gasped as her vaginal walls split apart, first thinking it too big, but feeling fulfilled when he was encased.
"Lassie that was too ea . . ."
She stopped him with her lips over his; her tongue searching for his tonsils and holding him tight against her breasts. He began to move within her; she thrilled as his cock stimulated every inch of her cavity. She moved with him increasing her arousal. Fearful he would cum to soon; she pushed him upright and used her hand on her clitoris. She watched the changing contortions of his ordinary face as he concentrated on his pleasure. Her expert finger caused a wonderful warm feeling to radiate from her clit to her brain and back again. She approached the edge of orgasm; pulled him to her, lifted her pelvis, placed her legs around his calves, and with her hands on his hips caused him to move. His strokes became longer and faster and harder. She delighted as his cock engorged and became more rigid. With her eyes closed, she felt increasing intensity sweeping over her until with one last plunge he released his semen; she exploded in ecstasy. Their spasms continued unabated until his weight, and the heat and humidity of the poncho became unbearable. The rain had stopped and the sun was shining.
* * * * *
Eric was a guest at the Tree Top Ecotourism Resort 100 miles north of Manaus on the banks of the Rio Negro River. Abril was a college trained biologist from Buenos Aires who served as a guide. He was a middle-aged, self-made millionaire from England looking to invest in tourism enterprises. She was a 24-year old environmentalist trying to save the rainforest. He was a stout, over-weight, ordinary looking, former, rugby player. She was a tall, slender, shapely, and attractive but not beautiful Brazilian female. He was gregarious, swapping jokes with all the men and flirting with their wives. She was a personable, quiet, hard working, intelligent, and competent tour guide.
During his week at the resort, their interaction was limited to that of host and guest. On this particular hot and humid day, he was the only visitor who wanted to visit the site of an historic Swidden site. It was unusual for a guide to take only one guest on a trek into the rainforest, but he had insisted and requested Abril to serve as his guide.
They left soon after lunch prepared, with umbrellas and ponchos, for the expected afternoon convectional rainfall. She led along a narrow overgrown trail. Her short-clad, fiddle-back shape was appealing to a man who had never met a woman he didn't like. As expected within an hour the skies darkened and rain began to fall. They took cover from the torrential rain at the base of a Babassu palm. The rain and shade of the tree reduced the temperature and Abril became cold. Eric placed his arm around her shoulders to keep her warm and protect her from the tree-filtered rain drops. Their touch and odors were intoxicating and soon they were kissing, at first timidly but then with passion. Within a short time, she was sitting on a fallen Pataua with her blouse around her waist.
* * * * *
They lay side by side in the afterglow of mutual satisfaction.
"Abril, I never thought . . ."
"It's okay Eric, I wanted that, I needed that, I wanted you to . . ."
"I had a feeling but I never . . ."
"Me too and you're not my type."
"What type am I?" he asked looking at her as never before.
"You're too old, too fat, too talkative."
"Then why . . ."
"Because you're funny, charming, and gracious; and because I felt something for you. I don't know what it was but you had – have an effect on me," she said as she fingered his flaccid penis.
"You're not my type either: too skinny, too flat chested, and too quiet; but I wanted to be alone with you," he said as he felt himself becoming aroused and his hands sought her nipples.
Kissing him, she thrilled at his rapid response and the rising flesh in her hand. Twisting, her lips sought his erection and she covered his face with her pubis. She licked and sucked his erection and experienced the excitement of his tongue enticing her clitoris. Aflame with excitement, she twisted again and mounted his cock. She became lost among the sensations of electric-like shocks that coursed between them. Her head flung back, arms outstretched, her body bounding on his horn of plenty like a vaquero on the Pampas Plain; she experienced his cock inflaming her soul. She didn't notice the fading sun or the falling rain.

Bill Frisell and Vinicius Cantuária
Seated. $35 general admission, $45 center section.
An evening in the esteemed company of Brazilian singer/guitarist/percussionist Vinicius Cantuária, and American guitarist Bill Frisell. The two men have a long history of working together, with Bill guesting on Vinicius' albums Tucuma (1999), Vinicius (2001), Horse and Fish (2004), Samba Carioca (2010) and Vinicius returning the favor on Bill's 2003 album The Intercontinentals. Now, the duo have released a brand new album together, Lagrimas Mexicanas, (January 25, 2011). According to Pollstar: "The story behind the album is as original as the music. After moving from Brazil to New York City, Cantuária became enthralled with the sounds of the city's streets, particularly the various flavors of the Spanish language spoken by Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Mexicans and others, with the verbal melting-pot of sounds ultimately leading him to begin writing what would become Lagrimas Mexicanas. By collaborating with Frisell the finished work is described as a combination of traditional Latin rhythms with improvisational jazz, with Frisell playing electric and acoustic guitars and Cantuária handling vocals, percussion and acoustic guitar."

text: Corporate Rap London, United KingdomUnited Kingdom Website: http://www.accenture.com Communications Intercultural relations Education Media Sustainable development Youth development Project SummaryElevator Pitch Concise Summary: Help us pitch this solution! Provide an explanation within 3-4 short sentences. Tailered, corporate rap songs and videos to engage audiences and foster positive engagement accross companies and communities. About Project Problem: What problem is this project trying to address? Simply, communication and engagement for employees. Business is people. Without motivated people there is stagnated business. Bringing ideas to life and communicating in a fun and memorable way applies to all industries and causes. This Includes fund raising as well as for commercial purposes. Solution: What is the proposed solution? Please be specific! Tailored rap songs and videos. Using the medium of music, we take briefs from clients that wish to communicate specific key messages to target audiences and write a tailored song for the organization to use. This is coupled with a custom video that emphasizes the key points. Impact: How does it Work Example: Walk us through a specific example(s) of how this solution makes a difference; include its primary activities. Recently I took part in a charitable initiative with the "Princes Trust" - in order to raise funding and awareness I decided to create a rap song in tribute along with a video. My offer to potential sponsors was that if they gave me £15 or more, I would include their name in the scrolling tickertape along the bottom of the video. Everyone I spoke to/heard about it were genuinely very interested in this due to its originality. I worked with my network of designers and producers to create a song, write the lyrics and record/edit the footage. I then worked with Accenture's executive, communications and corporate citizenship team to gain formal sign off on the content. The content got superb endorsement and the song is being released to the entire UK/I workforce (~12k) with the aim of helping achieve a £40k sponsorship rate for the cause. Furthermore I am working with the Princes Trust directly to use the song to promote the great work the Trust is doing and our contribution. There are discussions about monetizing the song further via iTunes and radio with proceeds going to the cause. Ultimately the value lies in reaching the relevant target audiences and making an emotional connection to communicate key messages in a memorable way. Sustainability Marketplace: Who else is addressing the problem outlined here? How does the proposed project differ from these approaches? There are many communications, digital and event facilitation companies working with corporate entities, charities and governments. However, there is not a company offering a service such as this. The key differentiation lies in a deep understanding of the client's requirement and an appreciation of the style, desired effect and brand of a specific client then delivering outputs in a highly engaging way. This tailored, KPI focused approach woven with existing client initiatives creates an unprecedented level of engagement. People are fascinated with the "coolness" of rap, but they feel it is an inaccessible world to them. This bridge allows people to have fun, feel young and embrace the messaging. A challenge is getting material signed off. Companies need to be brave. Team Founding Story I have always been fascinated by poetry and music. At university I founded a music society (Beats and Bass) where members put on professional nights and radio shows for and by members in an entrepreneurial way. This was hugely successful and profitable (all profits reinvested intp growing the society). The society still thrives today 8 years on. At work, I was running a training course and thought "how can I engage the audience and deliver the key messages?" I decided to write a parody of a well known song whereby I changed the lyrics to deliver my key points. The level of engagement was incredible. I have since performed at many events and created projects against numerous briefs. The response is always overwhelmingly positive. It changes the dynamics of what you are communicating and it is fun and engaging. Also the consultative approach to the brief requires business acumen. My dream is to raise awareness on key issues & inspire people through this medium and develop artists. About YouAbout YouFirst NameGeorg Tell us about yourself/your team.I am originally from Austria, but have grown up predominantly in the UK. I have a 1st Class Masters Degree in Comparative Jurisprudence but have worked in Business Development activities since graduating in 2007. I love music, people and big ideas. What makes you an intrapreneur? What are the skills, capabilities, and personality traits that make you an intrapreneur?I am never satisfied with the status quo. I'm always on the hunt to identify and set up collaborative opportunities, I take calculated risks and I have an understanding of how to connect with audiences. I can be a bit cheeky and am gutsy. I love to experiment and take feedback well. I never lose my optimism. About Your OrganizationCompany Country, LND Primary country where this project is creating social impact, LND, London Additional countries or regionsCan be replicated everywhere IndustryOtherThe information you provide here will be used to fill in any parts of your profile that have been left blank, such as interests, organization information, and website. No contact information will be made public. Please uncheck here if you do not want this to happen..InnovationSelect the stage that best applies to your solutionGrowth (your pilot is up and running, and starting to expand)The Solution: Why is this solution innovative for your company and industry?By packaging the key messages into a rap song, it acts as a playful but impactful & engaging "call to action". ImpactWhat has been the impact of your solution to date?The impact of this solution is to deliver a message through a new and unique form of communication. The key measure is whether the intended message is being delivered or whether the song creates merely hype. The deliverables in the past have received universal endoresement accross levels and ages. They have informed, increased engagement and generated calculable revenue towards fund raising causes. The impact to businesses is on a commercial and emotional level. What is your projected impact over the next 1 to 3 years?Depending on the projects being taken on (there is a very strong pipeline), I believe this will become incredibly popular – and I intend to make it so. Growth areas for the company will include performers, producers, graphics designers etc to meet the demand of our clients. The potential of the social impact is also very large. This medium can be used to create awareness on important issues (every topic in the "key word" section of this application is potentially relevant). I plan to engage young people in rap workshops to foster positive communications and to relay important messaging. These work shops can also be incorporated into corporate projects. The only limit for its application is ones imagination... What barriers might hinder the success of your project? How do you plan to overcome them?The main barrier will be getting sign off from branding. I will overcome this by working in a collaborative manner from the outset with the relevant stakeholders to ensure that this is a credit to the brand, not a dis-service. Another challenge I foresee is delivering original material consistently and managing client demand. I plan to overcome this through expectation management and having the highest standards of QA. Getting a clear brief and extracting the value criteria is important to creating the right tone. SustainabilityWhat is the benefit or value you're creating for your business?This is a services business, therefore there is not a large financial outlay. The USP rests on the network of talented music and film producers and the consultative business output focused approach to gathering the "brief" of each project. I am the founder and am currently writing the content (working with an established artist network). The business will work with the community to bring this creative medium into the business environment. I also am working with prospective and current clients to build and deliver against the strong sales pipeline. How are you leveraging internal resources (funds, time, knowledge, etc.) to support this initiative?My employer works with 96 of the Fortune 100 companies and there is great support for this initiative both from an internal call to action/fund raising perspective as well as potentially utilizing this with our change management work with clients. I am receiving coaching at a senior level both in terms of content creation and sign off delivery. It will take time to completely integrate the offerings and leverage the corporate citizenship strategy but there is a huge wealth of support and encouragement. People love the original and novel approach to content distribution. Expand on your answer, explaining the long-term funding and support plan.Long term this business has a high potential growth trajectory and is entirely self funding through organic growth. The reason for this is that companies, clients and charities already have their own established platforms for distributing content. In addition there is plenty of established media platforms (e.g. YouTube) if the deliverables are to be used externally. This means that Corporate Rap is responsible for the creation of content rather than its hosting. Also, the nature of the work means that demand will drive number of people needed. There are a wealth of community projects, live and corporate initiatives possible and this will involve collaboration with leading organizations to scale as required. Tell us about your partnerships across your company and externally that are key to your project's success.The success of the company lies firstly with its human capital (musicians, producers and artists) and secondly with a collaborative partnerial approach to business. Demand for projects comes through word of mouth and an integration with offerings of other companies. This can take many shapes from educational institutions, charities, 3rd party offerings, events and workshop companies amongst many others. What internal support have you gotten for your project? What kind of push-back have you received? Bridging original musical with serious underlying messages has received universal appeal and support. Once the initial surprise passes (which is a key part of the strategy), executives have seen an impressive response rate to the communication. This has been accross a wide range of areas,topics and sectors. One push back and challenge is getting global branding sign off. Close collaboration and transparency with these teams is critical to the successful delivery, Printer-friendly version
