Antonín Dvořák
Born in Nelahozeves, Bohemia (now Czech Republic) September 8, 1841; died in Prague, May 1, 1904
The Seventh Symphony was Dvořák bid to make a big noise in the world. As a young composer, he had been hampered by living in Bohemia, then a rural backwater of the mighty Austrian empire, and for many years his fame was strictly local. In the mid 1870s, Brahms discovered him and generously used his power in the Viennese musical establishment to promote Dvořák's career. By 1883, the Czech composer was finally poised for international acclaim when his choral-orchestral Stabat Mater scored a major success in London.
The next year, Dvořák traveled there himself to conduct his music, and the adulation reached fever pitch. The composer remembered his reception at one of the British choral festivals: "As soon as I appeared, I received a tempestuous welcome from the audience of 12,000. ... I had to bow my thanks again and again, the orchestra and choir applauding me with no less fervor. ... I am convinced that England offers me a new and certainly happier future, and one which I hope may benefit our entire Czech art." London's Royal Philharmonic Society promptly requested a new symphony for their 1885 concerts. Thus was born his Symphony in D Minor, premiered by the Royal Philharmonic under the composer's baton on April 22, 1885.
Today most commentators rank the Seventh as Dvořák's greatest symphony, if not the greatest piece he ever wrote. The noted British musicologist Donald Francis Tovey linked it with Schubert's "Great C Major" Symphony and Brahms' four symphonies "as among the greatest and purest examples of this art-form since Beethoven."
Dvořák would have been delighted to have this work mentioned alongside Brahms' symphonies, for Brahms was his model and mentor. Early in 1884, he had heard the German's recently completed Third Symphony and was bowled over. But though the Seventh was inspired by Brahms' Third, it is no copy. A more tragic work, it displays the dark defiance of the Czech underdog. Dvořák was intensely proud of his nationality and determined that his music would stand apart from the dominant Austro-German school. While striving for a more universal tone, his Seventh still proudly flaunts its Czech origins, especially in its third-movement.
The sonata-form first movement opens with a darkly murmuring theme in the low strings, with ominous diminished-seventh harmonies contributed twice by woodwinds. Dvořák said this theme came to him while watching hundreds of Hungarian patriots demonstrating against the Austrian imperial regime disembark at the Prague railroad station; like the Czechs, the Hungarians suffered under Austrian domination. Soon the full orchestra attacks this theme with defiant force. But flutes and clarinets followed by violins soon sing a marvelous flowing melody, temporarily easing the tension. In a short but powerful development section, Dvořák probes the mysteries of his opening conspiratorial theme.
Many have called the slow second movement the finest the composer ever wrote. Its great beauty mingles sorrow with protest. Dvořák had recently lost his mother, to whom he was very close, and the steady slide into insanity of his Czech colleague Bedrich Smetana also grieved him. This movement is full of poignant melodies clothed in gorgeous orchestral hues. Notable among them are the opening theme for clarinet and bassoon, a soft rising-and-falling melody for the violins, and the haunting music for horns immediately following.
Dvořák scholar Otakar Sourek describes the third-movement scherzo as "a wild, unhappy dance in hard, syncopated ... rhythms and dark orchestral coloring, in which the expression of wrathful defiance flares up with no less fury than in the opening movement." The inspiration is the traditional Czech furiant dance with its provocative cross-rhythms. Despite its lovely surface, the woodwind-dominated trio section also shares in the agitation, its serenity troubled by "the incessant rumbling of the basses" (Tovey).
Defiance also drives the sonata-form finale, with its baleful opening theme jumping an octave, then collapsing back by a dissonant half step. The cellos soon offer a soaring melody, but it is the baleful theme that dominates the action. Miraculously, in the symphony's final moments Dvořák transforms it from dark opposition to the voice of triumph in his blazing D Major conclusion.
Instrumentation: Two flutes, piccolo, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani and strings.

text: The wise men who constitute the benches of our high courts and the Supreme Court, should desist from stepping on turf that is not theirs to tread on, and leave policymaking to the executive. That is precisely what the Supreme Court said in its response to the presidential reference, when it clarified that policymaking was the preserve of the executive. It is easy to understand the frustration of telecom minister KapilSibal, who said sarcastically that if the courts should take on the job of allocating mobile spectrum in whatever manner, it might serve the interests of stakeholders better. In recent months, a series of orders and observations issued by different benches has wrecked India's once-vibrant telecom sector. In response to the uproar over Andimuthu Raja's way of allocating 2G spectrum, the Supreme Court quashed 122 telecom licences. These were supposed to be auctioned to the highest bidder, but two rounds of auctions have come a cropper. The first one flopped because the government, just to be on the safe side, quoted unnaturally high reserve prices. This was a deterrent for most bidders, who are already paying through their noses for 3G spectrum bought in auctions. Most telecom players have also acquired huge debts to buy 3G airwaves, apart from to roll out and maintain networks. In such a situation, it is pointless for the government to try and auction spectrum. Yet, it is constrained to do so, because the court has mandated auctions.

(NAPA, California) Napa County Supervisor Diane Dillon will testify before the US Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on Wednesday, Nov. 20, at an oversight hearing on the implications of a 2009 U.S. Supreme Court decision that set the current rules regarding which federally recognized tribes are eligible to have land taken into trust.
Dillon will testify on behalf of the California State Association of Counties (CSAC), delivering the message that any future legislation intended to fix inequities with the current system must also address the entire process of how tribes, the federal government and local government work together in the process of taking land into trust. The process has become a tool by which tribes can bypass local government processes, especially in cases where the tribe intends to conduct gaming on lands that are off reservation.
The hearing, entitled "Carcieri: Bringing Certainty to Trust Land Acquisitions," will include testimony from witnesses regarding the Supreme Court's Carcieri v. Salazar decision, in which the Court ruled that the Secretary of the Interior can take land into trust only for tribes that were "under federal jurisdiction" at the time of the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934.
Since then, many Indian tribes have urged Congress to pass legislation that would overturn the Carcieri decision, claiming that all tribes should have the ability to have land taken into trust. Current draft legislation, including HR 279 and HR 666, would restore the secretary's authority to take land into trust for all tribes regardless of when they were recognized, but does not require or address changes in to the Bureau of Indian Affairs' (BIA) "fee-to-trust" process.
"County governments have long been frustrated with the process by which lands are taken into trust. The problem is that the fee-to-trust system is broken and it is broken for all parties," said Supervisor Dillon. "Newly sought-after lands are targeted in well-established communities that are closer to urban populations than existing casinos and aimed at creating new gamblers and drawing patrons from existing casinos."
Dillon's testimony on behalf of CSAC will also reference specific proposals, including a process that provides incentives for tribes to enter into local agreements with counties, and additional standards that should be enacted, including sufficient notice and consultation requirements. Dillon's testimony has no bearing on the ongoing Mishewal Wappo litigation regarding the recognition of that group.
The hearing, a fact-gathering session for the Committee members, will begin at 11:30 a.m. Pacific time on Wednesday, Nov. 20. Viewers can watch it live at http://www.indian.senate.gov/hearings.

Newly rebranded Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl set for Dec. 21, 2013
LAS VEGAS — ESPN Regional Television announced Wednesday that Royal Purple will serve as title sponsor for at least the next three years for the annual college football postseason game that will now be known as the Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl.
The 2013 Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl, featuring a Pac-12 team against the top selection from the Mountain West, will be played Saturday, Dec. 21, at 12:30 p.m. PT (3:30 p.m. ET) at Sam Boyd Stadium and televised nationally on ABC.
"Today marks a wonderful new partnership between our bowl, our city and Royal Purple," said Dan Hanneke, Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl Executive Director.

I installed one of these http://www.universalcycles.com/shopp...ls.php?id=6689 on my "derailleur" cable (I'm using an Alfine, so technically it would be IGH cable) housing in hopes that I could dial in the cable length. I am using a J-Tek bar end shifter, so an inline adjuster is my only option.
Anyway, when I got it at my LBS it was sold loose and "solo" - nothing else. I installed it using standard Jagwire housing caps, and it does not seem to do anything at all when I twist it. No lengthening, no shortening, nothing. I assumed that it might be a lack of friction inside (where the housing cap sits), so I tried a number of twists, angles, etc to try to get the cap to engage. Still, nothing.
The instructions on the Jagwire site indicate "included" caps for 4mm and 5mm housing, which leads me to beleive regular caps won't work.
Does anyone have experience with these before I check in with my LBS regarding the (apparently) missing caps?

Re: YEMAYA MAYALEWOTue, November 30, 2010 - 7:41 PMOLOKUM (Aganaery)Is the foundation hermaphrodite, is the Orisha of procreation, is the deity of the deep
ocean, where "Oduduwa" the chains. Within two spirits inhabiting Olokun: Somugaga and
Akar is the spirit of death, their shells do not speak because his mouth is closed.
Is the Orisha of the ocean, the sea is at its most terrifying, because it is the depth
full of secrets. Is androgynous, half man and half fish. It has a violent, mysterious and
compulsive disorder. Its name comes from the Yoruba Olokun (Oli: owner-Okun: Ocean) but in reality
is the Master of all waters, as their daughters and Olos Olona (water nymphs) represent:
springs, ponds, waterfalls, lakes, rivers, streams, marine and water extensions of
Represents the seabed riches and health. Elusú husband (of sand), AJE Salugen
(Money and shells), Ö (the gaps), Ikokó (aquatic plants), Osara
(From underground lakes), Boromú (ocean currents), Borosia (of tornadoes
marine) Yembo (the calm of the sea) and Agganá (of rain).
It is said that Obbatalá him chained to the bottom of the ocean, when he tried to kill mankind with
the flood. Is Father-Mother of Yemaya. Always represented with masks, it is said that
who looks at his face immediately dies. His worship is the city of Lagos, Benin and Ile Ife and reaches
Cuba in the late nineteenth century with the Iyalosha Oni Yemaya Ferminita Gomez, who introduced
worship as we know it today.
Olokun live with two spirits and Akar Gagá Somu depicting the life and death
respectively. Both spirits are represented by a doll that has been in lead
one hand a serpent (Akar) and the other a mask (Somu Gagá).
Her singing is: Olukum obini Olocum Iyá Iyá to give my Agó gdógdo Bini Laiyan Nibo gdogdo ibu
Aduka. "
By naming it touches the floor three times with the fingertips and kiss the traces of dust
them. Extend open arms hands fingers kiss again and requesting
blessing: "Ma Fe Re Fun, Olokum."
Olokún not based directly Yemaya is with "gold" Olokun, born with jokes and
Brosia, is a ceremony of great detail.
Olokún Santeria, lives in a large earthenware jar or earthenware, or bluish black color
filled with water. His attributes are the rudder, mermaid doll lead with a snake in a
hand and the other a mask, boats, anchors, shells, seahorses, starfish, has otes
dark shell rock and reef, 2 coats of snails (one inside the Tinajita with secrecy and
the other dropped into the jar), sun, moon, snake chains, a mask, all matters relating to ocean
made of lead or silver. Their number is 7 vibration and its multiples.
In the case of Yemaya Olokum, it carries water, since its center is Agana ERI. Eri in the state Agana
Nitrate represents natural product of bacterial decomposition of proteins
from marine plants and animals that move ammonium ions and then
complete the cycle called hydrogen so important for aquatic life. Nitrate
turn is consumed by marine plants or converted in part to hydrogen and up from
deep sea and was taken to the beaches where the foam (Agana ERI) wraps
bubbles in the air and passes through the sand toward the cliff. The sand filter does
ocean, like the reef and that's how nature purifies and recycles
Why on earth eats and then goes to the sea?
Olokum had two great warriors who fought with him daily. Every time expired
war, called his two servers and invited them to choose their rewards.
If the former, who was vain and bad asked one thing, the other who was humble and
reverential gave the same thing twice. Viewing envious and proud of this situation, one day
after a win, Olokum asked him to pull out an eye.
Olokum understood that according to the request, would be left blind who had shown
kindness and resignation, then ruled:
"From now on you'll pull one eye, but will live on Earth, where there will be wars, misery and tears.
Your brother will live in the depths of the oceans and although you will not see me on earth because of you,
in the ocean will have eyes to see what you can not see. The peace and wealth will also
that I approve what you are doing on earth, you must bring proof of your actions
Sea and so he will give his Ashe. ".- (This is the secret of the two jars, big and small and
Spiral two hands, one open and one closed bearing the Olokum of Iworos)
The Olokún of O "lorishas is in conjunction with Eri Agana, or she is the main
foundation, which is why it is called Yemaya-Olokun. It is written in Ifa's betrayal
Agana ERI and its power to be delivered by the Iworos.

Re: YEMAYA MAYALEWOWed, December 1, 2010 - 6:54 AMOw trust me I do, Ive gotten alot o great information from your site. Does this yemeya have a certian color eleke or is it the standard color?
Re: YEMAYA MAYALEWOTue, November 30, 2010 - 11:41 PMYEMAYA MAYELEWO:
Este Yemaya es la hija predilecta de Boromú, vive en el Medio del Mar, las sietes Corrientes Marinas, mira de medio lado, es comerciante y es la que diferenció a cada Santo con la Pintura por mandato de Olofin.
Su nombre significa: LA QUE SE INTERESA POR EL DINERO Y EL COMERCIO.
Vive a la entrada de la Bahía y fue la que pintó el Agua de Azul con la ayuda de Asesú, esta Yemaya usa Careta y lleva un Osun Chiquito, además se le pone Guiro de Osain.
Lleva como carga adicional: un Soplete, un Remolino, una Serpiente y un pedazo de Arrecife.
Re: YEMAYA MAYALEWOWed, December 1, 2010 - 6:51 AM@ Daniel I'm sorry buddy I don't speak or read Spanish .... My humble appologies. Would love to hear it in English..
Re: YEMAYA MAYALEWOWed, December 1, 2010 - 8:15 AMill try to translate lol.......
This Yemaya is a favorite daughter of Boromu, lives in the middle of the sea, by the 7 marine currents, looks halfway to the side, it is very money oriented (comerciante can also mean retailer/merchant, someone that sells things) and is that which differentiates every santo (saint) with the paint as a command from Olofin (god).
Her name means "her who is interested in money and in commerce".
Lives in the entrance of Bahia and it was her that painted the water blue with the help of Asesu. This Yemaya uses a mask and she takes to a small Osun, also she is put as a gourd of Osain.
Carries in addition (or can also be translated as she can also be found as) a whirlpool, a torch, a serpent and a piece of coral (reef).
Let me tell you Jeremy... there are words I dont normally use or say so it might not be perfect translation... some stuff I also dont get the way it is written. Like where it says the paint is what differentiates every santo im like um okk lol... Spanish differs so much depending on the country and also if it is the "proper" /book/ spanish... but i think you get the point =)

Re: YEMAYA MAYALEWOWed, December 1, 2010 - 9:40 PM(this is an article excerpt from David H. Brown - he sums it up quite eloquently)
The Olokun of an orisha priest or priestess is considered by Cuban babalawos to be a form of Yemayá, called Mayeleo, who is close in ocean depth to Olokun, but is not Olokun as such. Olokun is the master of the deepest secrets of the ocean and forms one great consitutent of the Creation, another being the Earth, which was created by Odudúwa. "No one knows," except Olokun, people say, "what there is at the bottom of the sea (nadie sabe lo que hay al fondo del mar). Olokun is central to the mysterious questions of life, death, and great transformations, since the dark bottom of the sea is the lowest point on the earth's surface, the ultimate grave, in a word. For this reason, the feeding of Olokun at the sea has always been considered a dangerous, if not also mortal, undertaking. Until a half century ago, babalawos fed Olokun from a boat out in the water, often in preparation for the momentous ceremony of the masks of Olokun, which were "danced" to a special set of Olokun drums. In effect, the ceremony honored and invoked the ancestors, the egún, and reflected aspects of Yoruba Egungun celebrations. A carved wood mask covered the dancer's face, while a cloak of burlap saco covered the body. A babalawo was expected to die with the realization of each Olokun ceremony.
Also - I have Photos from an Olokun ceremony done on behalf of all the residents of the Gulf of Mexico area's (Mexico, Cuba, Haiti, USA) affected by the BP Oil Spill as well as the environment , conducted by the Babalawos of Ile Osha Ifa Bi Olorun August 2010. PHOTOS on profile for those interested.
Re: YEMAYA MAYALEWOThu, December 2, 2010 - 8:42 AMWow those are some really beatiful pictures..... Is this the same (David H. Brown) that runs folkcuba.com?
Re: YEMAYA MAYALEWOThu, December 2, 2010 - 1:55 PMYes, the same David H. Brown of Folkcuba and the author of "Santeria Enthroned". By the way, no connection between David H. Brown and the Babalawo's in the pics.
This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: YEMAYA MAYALEWOThu, December 2, 2010 - 3:12 PMHmmm interesting yea I've spoke to David mutipules but never knew he had a book I'll have to check it out thanks Sean!!! So the babalows in the picture the ceremony was in Cuba?

Creamed Spinach and Mushrooms Recipe
When my family was snowed in one time, we had to make do with what we had on hand, so I was able to put this recipe together. I find that it is very versatile and takes only 10 minutes to make from start to finish.

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon butter
- 1 package (6 ounces) fresh baby spinach
- 3 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, cubed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1. In a small skillet, saute mushrooms in oil and butter until tender. Add spinach; cover and cook for 1 minute or until wilted.
- 2. Stir in the cream cheese, salt and pepper. Serve immediately. Yield: 2 servings.

Reviews for Creamed Spinach and Mushrooms
Reviewed May. 23, 2012
"This recipe was easy and we enjoyed it. When I cleaned up I noticed quite a bit of the "cream" was left on the bottom of the pan. Maybe I should have cooked the mushrooms longer so that the liquid reduced."

Ah, The Oscars. One of my favorite times of the year – to judge what everyone is wearing, that is.
It's a time of triumphs and a time of realizing some people have no idea how to dress themselves. I'm going to focus on the many gorgeous victories though, because there were so many, and they were so lovely.
There were fifteen Oscars attendees that I thought were dressed to the nines and rocked it the best on the red carpet. Some of my personal favorites include Anna Kendrick, Lupita Nyong'o, Sandra Bullock, and Emma Watson. You all looked gorgeous, and I commend you for really nailing it this year.
And of course, we can't forget Jared Leto. He might be my favorite one of all. Congrats on your win, Jared. You won Best Supporting Actor AND Best Dressed.
Of course, he's won my heart too. It's totally fine.

Memorable things they said
"He deserves my silence."
George W. Bush, in his first speech since leaving the White House, on why he would not criticize President Obama. "I love my country a lot more than I love politics," Bush said. "I think it is essential that he be helped in office."
"You can call it cherry pie, but it's a war."
Cully Stimson, who served in the Pentagon under former President George W. Bush, on the Obama administration's refusal to use the phrase "war on terror." Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, for instance, substituted "man-caused disasters" for "terrorism" in testimony before Congress. "I would expect that she would not use that silly expression to a family member who suffered the loss of a loved one to an IED explosion," Stimson said. "Terrorists are terrorists."
"They're not allowed to show my speech at Gitmo anymore."
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal on his televised response to President Obama's speech before Congress in February, comparing it to torture. Jindal's speech received almost universally negative reviews.
"It's the tiniest of baby booms. This is not an earthquake; it's a slight tremor."
Fertility researcher S. Philip Morgan of Duke University on the record number of births in the United States during 2007. There were more than 4.3 million births, 40 percent of which were out of wedlock.
"You sound like a Brezhnev-era apparatchik giving the party line."
Daniel Hannan, a Conservative member of the European parliament from South East England in a speech directly to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Hannon said Britain is "in the worst condition of any G20 country" and told Brown "you are the devalued prime minister of a devalued government."
"I love history, but there comes a time when you have to adjust."
Thomas V. (Mike) Miller, president of the Maryland Senate, on his desire to appoint a commission to change the state song. The song, written in 1861, urges Maryland to secede from the union, calls Abraham Lincoln a despot, and includes a reference to "Northern scum."

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Thank you for using Just Answer. Please keep in mind that this is a public forum and information posted here is not confidential.
You are partially right. The jurisdiction of town courts is unlimited in summary proceedings, but only in regard to back rent due and owing. The Uniform Justice Court Act provides, in relevant part as follows:
§ 204. Summary proceedings. The court shall have jurisdiction of summary proceedings to recover possession of real property located in whole or in part within the municipality, to remove tenants therefrom, and to render judgment for rent due without regard to amount.
However, counterclaims are not exempt from the regular jurisdictional limit.
While usually a counterclaim against a landlord would be waived if not brought, when a summary proceeding is brought in Justice Court, a party is not precluded from commencing another action arising out of the lease. Real Property Actions and Proceedings law provides as follows:
§ 747. Judgment. 2. The judgment shall not bar an action to recover the possession of real property. The judgment shall not bar an action, proceeding or counterclaim, commenced or interposed within sixty days of entry of the judgment, for affirmative equitable relief which was not sought by counterclaim in the proceeding because of the limited jurisdiction of the court.
To the extent that a counterclaim is used to set off back rent, however, it can be raised. An example would be if the landlord was supposed to pay utilities, but did not and the tenant had to pay.

has persisted since August.
A resolution to the fiscal cliff, which will come into effect in January if no deal is done, is seen as key to boosting both equity prices and volumes.
We're seeing short positions coming on board with a view to closing at 5,600, TJ Markets head of trading Manoj Ladwa said.
(If a deal on the fiscal cliff is reached) you'll start seeing volumes returning back to the market and the index creeping up towards the high end of the range around 5,900.

NES Console Modded as Retro Gaming PC, With Video
The User cbutters on Youtube has modified his original Nintendo Entertainment System into a real working Windows based PC. As you can tell from the picture above and the video after the break, you'll notice that the casing looks exactly like a regular NES, but what's inside is completely different.
Underneath the hood of the console, is a fully-functional PC that runs Windows XP and using the gaming emulator called GameEx. To turn on the PC simply press the on button on the NES case (red light even comes on), the PC will automatically start and open GameEX, which has almost every NES, SNES, and N64 game in it's liberty.
To keep the retro feel of the system, he rewired the NES underneath the hood to create a USB Hub, which gives him the ability to use the NES controllers or even an Xbox 360 wired controller for more complex games like Super Smash Bros. He even went as far to connect an S-video from the PC to the old-school component video, to preserve the crappy blurry images that most of us grew up with.
Check out the awesome video after the break.
Thanks technabob

Marc Webb Jokes That Sam Raimi Could Replace Him On The Amazing Spider-Man 2
By Sean O'Connell 2013-04-02 08:37:28 comments
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 director Marc Webb Tweeted his own version of an April Fools joke, posting a photo of producers Avi Arad and Matthew Tolmach asking, Do you still have Raimis number?
The Tweet followed up an early picture that Webb posted in his abnormally active Twitter feed documenting Day 39 from the ongoing shoot, putting himself into an action sequence where hes laying on something. And hes in the middle of a device that might be well, we really dont know. But Im guessing Webb is trying to show Andrew Garfield how he should pose during a fight sequence. Then again, thats just speculation.
Webb has given Spider-Man fans an unprecedented peek behind the curtain of his sequels production, Tweeting spoilery photos of The Ravenscroft Institute or a crushed cab on the New York City set. And yet, with all of the pics being shared, Webb has managed to avoid giving away too much, posting more misdirection than actual spoilers and generating a fair share of buzz around speculation of possible villains and more.
Do you know who hasnt shown up in ANY of Webbs Twitter photos? Garfield. We havent seen him in costume, or seen him with Emma Stone and/or Shailene Woodley. Most of the things Webb has shared have been superficial shots of co-stars. But the production continues to chug along as Webb aims to reach a May 2, 2014 release date. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 returns Garfield to the Web-heads role, where hes expected to battle Electro (Jamie Foxx), The Rhino (Paul Giamatti) and, maybe, Norman Osborns The Green Goblin (Chris Cooper). More on ASM 2 as Webb continues to Tweet away!

Get your doubts cleared by first-year students from top b-schools
Several leading multinational companies, including Adobe, Pepsi, Microsoft, Deutsche Bank, Citibank, US Airways and others, at some point in their history, have been led by CEOs of Indian origin. The vast majority of these CEOs studied in the Indian education system up to the bachelors level. Similarly, some of the most successful faculty members and administrators at global business schools are of Indian origin. It is, therefore, puzzling that there are so few Indian business schools in the global top 100 lists.
One of the major reasons for this is that Indian business schools have not seen the need, until now, to benchmark themselves with the leading global business schools. First, even the certificates that the best Indian institutions (the standalone business schools) offerthe Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) and the Fellow Program in Management (FPM)are not the same as the globally recognised degrees, the MBA and the PhD.
Second, Indian business schools hardly attract international students. I first studied and later taught at the IESE Business School, which has 56 nationalities represented in the 2013 intake of approximately 280 MBA students. At the China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) where I am currently teaching, 35% of our intake of 180 students is from outside mainland China, with the US, the EU, India and South Korea making up the largest contingents. Other Chinese business schools, mainly at public universities, also attract decent numbers of foreign students.
Third, there are few international faculty members employed by Indian business schools. At CEIBS, more than a third of our faculty is of non-Chinese ethnicity and more than two-thirds have non-PRC passports. Even public universities in China have been able to attract foreign faculty.
One reason India does not attract many foreign students and faculty is that its level of integration with global trade and investment flows is still quite low. Chinas foreign trade (exports plus imports) is 5.3 times Indias, its inward stock of foreign direct investment (FDI) is 4.3 times and its outward stock of FDI is 4.5 times. This brings a much larger flow of international managers and international business opportunities to China. Thus, prospective MBA students and faculty see coming to China as a career enhancing move.
Fourth, very few Indian business schools run joint and dual degree programmes with international institutions. Most leading Chinese business schools run such programmes. This has given faculty members and staff from the Chinese schools exposure to best

Fantastic Fiction To Steal From Your KidsSierra Black
One of the best things about parenting is the story times. It's not just the snuggles that make it great, or the treasured routine between parent and child. It's also the books.
Some of the best books in the world are written for kids. Picture books are often works of art, sneakily tucked between the mass-produced cartoon serials on the shelf. Young adult books tackle big themes in fresh ways, with great stories. Children's literature from Alice in Wonderland up through Harry Potter offers us some of the best escapism ever committed to the page.
Young adult books are what I read when I go to bed; they're the paperbacks stacked next to my headboard for those quiet hours of simple escape. Because they are a great escape, especially the ones set in fantastic worlds or imaginary times. When I want an intellectual challenge, I visit my library or bookstore. But when I just want to get away from my own mind for awhile, I raid my kids' bookshelf.
Whether they've just graduated from Dr. Seuss or are deep into the Vampire Diaries, your kids have books you want. Here are six titles to steal off their shelves – or add to them – today.
- Schooled – Gordon Korman – a funny look at what happens when a hippie homeschooler gets thrust into a public middle school.
- The Charlie Bone Serries – Jenny Nimmo – So what is this is a bit of a Harry Potter knock off? It's a great read, and an engaging set of characters and stories.
- Ella Enchanted – Gail Levine – A lush retelling of a classic fairy tale, fun for moms and daughters alike.
- The Fairy Tale Detectives – Michael Buckley – Girls become detectives, solving mysteries for fairy tale creatures. Does it get better than this?
- Into the Wild – Sarah Beth Durst – In this fairy tale gone awry, a young girl has to save her mother and friends from The Wild, the home of all things fairy tale.
- Tithe – Holly Black – A darker fairy tale for an older audience, perfect for the Twilight fan in your life.

Bringing salvation to all this Christmas season
By Pastor Chris CostriniVenango Community Church
The birth of John the Baptist marks a significant event in history. We know this by the number of significant events that occur around it. Not many of us have our birth announced by an angel. Not too many of us are destined to fulfill prophecy as John did. We might rejoice at the birth of our children, but rarely does it happen that God's Spirit falls on us, so that we prophesy in God's name. All these things happen with John, and his father's words set the stage for not only John's work, but also for the Messiah, the one we are preparing for this season. Zechariah, prompted by the Spirit, speaks primarily of God's work of redemption. His words would have reminded those listening of God's deliverance of Israel from slavery in Egypt and captivity in Babylon. In the same way Zechariah anticipates a salvation from God brought by a "horn of salvation" coming from the "house of David" (Luke 1:69 ESV). The anticipated descendant of the great king David was coming to bring salvation. Most in that day expected that this coming king would bring salvation from Rome in the same way that God had freed Israel from her enemies in the past. But Zechariah's Messiah brings a salvation "in the forgiveness of their sins" (Luke 1:77 ESV). While Israel was worried about bondage to Rome, God was thinking of our bondage to sin. They thought of political freedom; God about spiritual freedom. Israel worried about temporal salvation; God's concern was eternal salvation. The situation is often the same with us. We get very worried about the things of this world, and push aside any consideration of eternal things. God puts the eternal at the highest priority. God has "visited and redeemed his people" (Luke 1: 68 ESV) in the form of his Son. Zechariah concludes his prophecy by comparing His coming to the sun rising at the end of a dark night, reminding us of the prophecy in Isaiah 9. Christ, the light of the world is come, bringing redemption, forgiveness, light, and salvation to all who will receive them.

Web's Largest listing of crowdsourcing and crowdfunding events
2,969 crowdsourcing and crowdfunding sites
Flag This
Crowdfunding platforms vary, but typically the answer to this is good old human investigation. Delving into the history of a brand or individual is sometimes a good way to gauge their trustworthiness, and the nature of the platform means that a lot of eyes are on these people. I would imagine that many investors do their fair share of research before they fund anything.
Additionally, many sites have a system through which donors can rate the company they invested in. The utility of such a system varies; for a brand looking to make a single big score, it may not matter at all, but for a company doing the "long con" across many platforms, it could be a backbreaker.
The short answer, then, is that most platforms do not have a systematic approach to validating their investees. They rely mainly on the investors to provide background checks and to hold the project coordinators to their word. You personally can help by always researching an organization before you donate, and rating them after the fact to show your support (or lack thereof).

Thank you very much Seth.
What you explain makes sense. I just was wondering if there was an explicit way to ensure the accuracy of the projects... I see that there isn't.
Thanks again.
Hi Enrique,
Fraudsters are prevalent and sophisticated. Each crowdfunding platform must use its own experience and systems to prevent fraud. Who the platform partners with for payment processing is also critical. A strong payments partner should have proprietary algorithms to verify identities and to detect suspicious activity. Even if the fraudulent account is opened, the payment partner should have the processes in place to limit the damage and to recover as much money as quickly as possible. Because the payments partner sees so many more transactions across multiple platforms, it has the ability to apply best practices much more readily. If you're starting your own website, make sure you understand the chargeback risks you face and how your payment processor can help to minimize that risk.
Chris Chen
Thank you very much for your answer Chris!!
Hi Enrique,
As has been previously mentioned, many crowdfunding sites do not have the resources to perform sufficient due diligence to prevent fraud. With the emergence of securities-based crowdfunding in the US companies specializing in due diligence (such as mine) are working to create "right-sized" due diligence programs for platforms to provide cost-effective solutions to this problem while allowing the platform to focus on what it does best. I'm not certain if this will catch on among the donation-based sites as well, we will have to see.

Jerick Hoffer is slipping into a bouffant wig and '60s frocks for the 5th Avenue Theatre's concert version of "Hairspray," which runs Thursday-Sunday.
Usually it's just one male actor playing a gal (Edna, mom to teen dance hopeful Tracy Turnblad) in the hit Broadway musical, which originated at the 5th Avenue a decade ago. But Hoffer will gender-bend another role: that of rival stage mom Velma Von Tussle.
"I always thought Velma should be played by a drag queen," says Hoffer.
Getting dolled up is no stretch for this multitalented Portland native and Cornish College grad. As ditsy glamour puss Jinkx Monsoon, Hoffer ("Seattle's premier Jewish narcoleptic drag queen"), ran away with the top prize this year in the TV competition "RuPaul's Drag Race."

Most Read Stories
Becoming an "international drag superstar" has not yet lured Hoffer from Seattle, where he has lived and performed (in theaters and drag clubs) since 2006. Jinkx will pop up again here hosting the satirical/patriotic burlesque show, "Freedom Fantasia," at the Triple Door starting July 3.
But after that Hoffer goes bicoastal, when he and stage cohort Major Scales (aka fellow Cornish grad Richard Andriessen) bring their original show, "The Vaudevillians," to Off Broadway starting July 9.
We caught up with the amiable and sincere Hoffer, 25, fresh from his wig-fitting for "Hairspray," to ask about his philosophy of drag, his TV victory and other matters.
Q: How has your life changed since winning "RuPaul's Drag Race"? You have your own entourage now?
A: It's crazy, it's really surreal. I have a publicist, a personal assistant, a tour manager and a booking agent. A year ago I was doing everything myself.
Q: You won "Ru Paul's Drag Race" in May. How much of the series was live?
A: It was filmed in advance up to the final episode with the top three contestants, then a week before the final episode was airing we taped three different endings. I only found out who won when America found out! The night of the finale I was in New York, and I was taken from my hotel to this club where I was crowned in front of all these cheering people. It was crazy.
Q: You call your outrageous yet lovable Jinkx persona "corny and cheesy," a "dumb blonde." How do you respond to women who think campy drag caricatures put down women?
A: I feel that drag queens impersonate very strong, independent women who inspired us throughout our lives. And I like what Goldie Hawn once said: it takes the smartest actress to play the dumb blonde … When I'm doing an exaggerated character, I hope it's clear I don't think this is how women do, or should, act. There's aspects of Looney Tunes in drag. But there's something poignant about a man dressed as a woman, talking about gender. It can make you realize how similar the genders really are.
Q: You're a trained actor and gifted singer, with Seattle roles in "Rent" at the 5th Avenue, "Spring Awakening" at Balagan Theatre. Is it limiting to be labeled a drag queen?
A: I very much treat my stage persona of Jinkx as a character I've created. Some drag artists do a look-based glamour act, and when they talk they're mostly just being themselves. In my case it's not Jinkx the drag queen, it's Jerrick Hoffer as Jinkx Monsoon.
Q: Thanks to RuPaul's show and Broadway musicals like "Kinky Boots," drag performance is even more in the pop-culture mainstream now. How is it evolving?
A: Drag is very much an art form, and all art goes through ebbs and flows and trends. What I'm doing isn't new, but the way I'm doing it is a new version of high camp. I don't want to just play the kitsch factor, but bring something authentic and honest to it.
Q: Can drag be both funny and serious?
A: My motto is 50 minutes of comedy can lead to 10 effective minutes of tragedy. Comedy allows your audience to be in the moment, and get on your side. When you have them on your side then you can be open with them.
Q: As Jinkx, you are dressed to the nines. What do you wear offstage?
A: I kind of just wear tight black pants, leggings, an oversize sweater. It's a very androgynous look. I just don't like men's clothing, for me it's always kind of boring. I don't have to look like a boy or a girl, I can look sort of middle-sex.

Security and legal ramifications of BYOD
By Fred Donovan (Part of an FMIT special report Making BYOD work)
Security threats posed by BYOD keep many CIOs and IT managers up at night. The threats range from loss of sensitive data to the introduction of malware into the networks. The loss of data, particularly in regulated industries such as healthcare, can result in significant legal costs in terms of breach notification, credit monitoring services and lawsuits.
Numerous surveys have shown that security issues top the list of BYOD concerns for IT professionals. According to a survey of 1,600 members of LinkedIn's Information Security Group, three-quarters of respondents said loss of company or client data was their top security worry, followed by unauthorized access to company data and systems and fear of malware infection.
Reflecting on the survey results, Ken Hess of ZDNet observes: "Clearly, security is a huge concern for companies. However, those fears have less to do with BYOD and more to do with mobile devices in general. Malware actually should be a bigger concern than it is. I don't think the majority of respondents understand the true size of the malware threat."
Is Mandatory Encryption the Answer?
To prevent data loss, these IT professionals use mandatory encryption, endpoint integrity checking, and auditing of mobile devices, according to the survey. More than one-third of enterprises have no risk control measures in place.
Unfortunately, two-third of organizations do not enforce their mandatory encryption policies, according to Gib Sorebo, chief cybersecurity technologist at SAIC.
"Corporations are trying to deal with the BYOD security problem through a number of different ways. One of these ways, particularly for USB drives, is to mandate encryption. That really hasn't worked that well," Sorebo observes.
Surveys conducted in 2012 found an increasing disconnect between IT and employees over BYOD security. According to an IDG Research survey, more than two-thirds of employees are using their personal devices to access the corporate network, yet few want security controls placed on their devices. Another survey found that a majority of enterprises admit that their employees use mobile apps that violate corporate policies. And a multinational survey of 4,374 IT practitioners by the Ponemon Institute for Acronis revealed that a majority of companies continue to put critical data at risk.
Even firms that have BYOD policies in place make exceptions for executives, who often handle the most sensitive data on their mobile devices. More than three-quarters of companies have not educated employees about the privacy risks from BYOD. Only 31 percent of firms mandate a device password or key lock on personal devices, and only 21 percent perform remote device wipes when employees leave the company, according to the Ponemon survey. Firms that do not protect privacy could face lawsuits from disgruntled employees.
In addition, not all employees see a link between their personal liability, the company's legal obligation to conduct business safely, and the quality and support of IT devices, according to Gartner.
Determine Risk Tolerance
For enterprises that decide to allow BYOD, they should determine their "risk tolerance." Sensitive data loss can cost much more than enterprises expect. According to the 2013 Cost of Data Breach Study compiled by the Ponemon Institute and Symantec, a data breach cost a U.S. enterprise an average of $188 per record lost and $5.4 million per incident. The number of lost records per data breach in 2012 ranged from 2,300 to more than 99,000, with the average in the United States being 28,765 records lost.
Enterprise costs from data breaches include the detection and response to the breach, notification to victims and regulators, customer retention efforts and lost business. The report is based on the data breach experiences of 277 companies in nine countries including the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, India, Japan, Australia and Brazil. To derive the cost estimates, Ponemon interviewed more than 1,400 individuals at these companies over a 10-month period.
Data breach costs could also involve class action lawsuits by breach victims and regulatory actions, including fines. For example, organizations in the healthcare industry could face hefty fines from the Department of Health and Human Services for data breaches. In the summer of 2013, HHS levied million dollar fines on two companies for data breaches involving sensitive medical information. As more and more healthcare enterprises allow physicians and medical staff to bring their own devices, data breaches involving medical information will increase.
Enterprises can no longer ignore BYOD security or hope that BYOD security issues will take care of themselves. They need to develop strong BYOD policies and employ technology, such as mobile device management, to enforce those policies. Otherwise, they will become yet another headline in the long, sad parade of data breaches.

Childish Gambino, who appeared on "Arsenio" recently, discussed his status as an emcee on the television program. According to Gambino, the rapper tag is a label he'd rather not place on himself.
ldquo;I don't consider myself a rapper," Gambino said during the "Arsenio" interview. "I don't think I'm a rapper. I can rap, but I don't think I'm a rapper. I want to do a bunch of stuff."
Gambino said that other rappers feel similarly regarding the "rapper" title.
"Rappers don't want to be rappers," he said. "They don't. It's true. Every rapper I talk to says they want to do this or that. They're usually artists who want to do a bunch of stuff. I don't think any rapper wants to be just a rapper."
Aside from his work in music, Gambino has also been an actor, a television program writer and a comic. Gambino has acted in NBC's "Community." He's written for NBC's "30 Rock." Gambino also had a Comedy Central stand-up special.
Gambino recently also mentioned that he does not wish to be labeled during an interview with New York radio station Power 105.1.
"I just don't want to be labeled," Gambino said. "I also don't want—I don't like working for other people. Lena Dunham she works for her. She writes that show ['Girls']. That's her thing. I don't think there's a lot of people in my position—They gave me a show. They wouldn't give a rapper a show. They wouldn't give A$AP a show. I don't want to be a rapper. When Kanye talks about the glass ceiling being there of like, 'I can't do anything because they see me as a rapper.' Like that's my superpower."
Childish Gambino is prepping the releases of his upcoming Rap album, because the internet. The project is set to hit stores December 10.
More of Gambino's interview with Arsenio Hall can be viewed below.

'Our company has allowed us to get products to market without this compromise to the quality or design as we work with some of the UK's most skilled manufacturers to produce furniture with attention given to every little detail. I'm a very hands on person and love getting stuck into the workshop, a lot of details are inspired by the process of making and being hands on with the materials.

Just in case you didn't get enough DC Comics excitement today with Warner Bros. releasing the first image of Tom Hardy as Bane from "The Dark Knight Rises" in the first of what is sure to be many viral stunts, they've also released the latest trailer for "Green Lantern." As the film is going to be a bit of a harder sell for WB, you don't even have to jump through any hoops to watch it. By releasing a new trailer what seems like every few weeks, the studio has done a good job of turning fan expectations around after some shaky early footage. As someone on Twitter said, "I feel shortchanged on days there isn't a new "Green Lantern" trailer."
The latest clip is for audiences who aren't familiar with the comics and get's all the exposition out front. (Seriously, it takes a full minute and a half just to explain what's going on here.) It also looks to be a showcase for the film's 3D, (though you can only watch it online in 2D), it's going to be attached to 3D prints so we imagine it'll be a bit more immersive in theaters. While we thought the film was facing an uphill battle incorporating more fantastical elements than comic fans have been used to with more grounded films like "The Dark Knight," if Marvel Studios can turn "Thor" into a hit, we don't see why 'Lantern' should have a problem.
We'll see when "Green Lantern" opens on June 17th. You can watch the latest trailer below.

Borderline Personality Disorder
So it turns out while I am going to my new counselor and psychiatrist, they want to diagnose me as BPD. It appears that in my old records it says nothing about me being diagnosed as bipolar. The more I find out about Borderline Personality Disorder, the more I feel like I have found the right diagnosis.
BPD is similar to depression with bipolar, but it is not just mood swings. Symptoms include mood swings, no or low self-worth, intense emotions (you over rationalize everything, unlike "normal" people), violent temper tantrums (like ripping teddy bears heads off, breaking headphone cords on half, throwing stuff when you get mad), suicidal thoughts and/or actions, self-harm, and less in touch with reality at times (feel disconnected to the world). You see your relationships as "bad" or "good" and it can change suddenly.
But do not worry, BPD is treatable and you can overcome it, unlike some other mental illnesses. Treatments such as medications help you to get into recovery; you can later get off them. Medicines such as antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and antipsychotics are commonly used if you do go on medicine. Counseling and therapy are good because they can help you through your process from beginning to end, making sure you are on the right track. Do not forget about having a healthy habit. Get enough sleep, regularly exercise, and avoid alcohol and drugs.
BPD is usually caused from bad childhood experiences dealing with abuse, neglect, or the death of a parent. The chances go up when you have not been taught how to cope with problems and deal with stress or anxiety.
When I was two years old I was taken away from my birth family and put up for adoption because of abuse and neglect. At age seven, my adopted dad killed himself and I suffered from depression. From the time I was two until now (20), I had no idea of how to deal with my problems. In elementary school I threw a chair; in day care I bit a boy on his back till he bleed because he would not move out of my way; it goes on. I was not taught coping skills. I became so stressed out that suicide was sometimes my answer and I self- harmed. I was bullied from 5th grade until just last semester in college.
Yet people thought I was the happiest kid, teenager, adult ever. Until you got to really know me. Now I feel like I have my answer to my big question! I just have to learn to manage and cope with life better; I cannot do this on my own like I always have done.
Do not be afraid to ask for help. It can only get better from here, but I am not promising there won't be some rough patches. So for your project this time is to really pay attention how you go through your day. Take a few notes if you need. Maybe you did not handle something very well that you could have.
Email me if you ever need anything or comment below. Remember you are not alone!!!
Stay Strong <3

Eye-Fi Review - please update with more Mac compatibility info
The Eye-Fi review was very interesting; however, this was as much a software review as a hardware review, seeing that the host computer component is required to make the product functional.
That said, I was a bit surprised that there was little mention of compatibility with Mac OS beyond the implication that the card reader can be used in either environment. I think the product deserves a more thorough evaluation on a Mac OS machine, since such a significant proportion of us are using this platform.
