Replacing Summers: Will Obama Please Wall Street or Struggling Americans?
According to the New York Time
Politico was even more specific: "President Barack Obhim on the National Economic Council -- a woman CEO."
It's hard to know where to beginbody -- a long one in which you're really getting into things -- when, suddenly, your friend says something that tells you he actually hasn't heard a word you've said?
It would be nothing less than shocking to find that the president, at this late date in the recession and with the midterms shaping up as they are, is looking out at the economic landscape and concluding that what most needs repairing is his administration's relationship with Wall Street. Really?How about hiring someone who would "send a message" to the 26 million unemployed or underemployed Americans -- with the message being: Help is on the way!
"What Obama really needs is someone who'll do a good job," wrote Matt Yglesias. If the economy is doing well, he adds, "messaging" takes care of itself: "FDR's economic message was very compelling in 1936 because the economy was growing rapidly."
Echoing Yglesias is Paul Krugman. "Obama should pick someone who can do a good job," he writes. "Never mind image, or the message the appointment supposedly sends -- there are about 600 people in this country who care about that stuff, and most of them are paid to care."
...this is a remarkably stupid plan, if true. It will not 'disarm' critics who say that Obama is reflexively anti-business, any more than having Bob Gates at Defense 'disarmed' critics of Obama's approach to terror...
And as far as hiring a woman -- hey, I'm all for women and diversity, but given the fact that the middle class is crumbling under the weight of near double-digit unemployment, I'd first like to start with some diversity of vision and economic perspective. That's the element that is sorely lacking in this White House. As a former Treasury official put it in Jonathan Alter's book The Promise, Obama's economic team ""
Of course, A to C hasn't been working out very well. And I doubt whether that's because of the lack of an E and O tacked onto the C. After all, Carly Fiorina is a female former CEO. While at HP she sent a message that many CEOs and "the Street" often like: the willingness to destroy the lives of thousands of workers in order to maximize profit. Is that what we need being whispered in the president's ear?
Instead of "sending a message to Wall Street," how about sending a message to the three quarters of the country who, according to a new CNN/ORC poll, still believe the economy is in a recession -- despite what The National Bureau of Economic Research says?


4. Three generic responses for GE might be: pull out of India (i.e., divest); declare it is ‘not my problem’ (i.e., status quo); or do something (i.e., manage growth). What would you recommend for GE Healthcare India to remain competitive 3–5 years out and why? And if you were to do something (option 3) what more precisely would you do? Actionize it.

SERBIA: Stadler has been named as sole bidder for a contract to supply three 200 km/h double-deck electric multiple-units to national passenger operator Srbija Voz for use on the modernised Beograd – Novi Sad route.
The tender launched by the Ministry of Construction, Transport & Infrastructure on February 9 had a tight deadline of March 15, with the intention that the trains should enter service later this year. That led to suggestions that a Chinese manufacturer might be well placed to win the contract.
Stadler’s bid of €62·2m including VAT was reportedly €11m higher than Srbija Voz had envisaged. The public procurement office attributed this to  first of the Kiss EMUs is expected to be delivered in October, with the other two to follow by the end of the year.
Stadler declined to comment until the contract has been signed.
The purchase agreement was signed on April 8  Stadler Sales Manager for Central & Eastern Europe Željko Davidović.

I cut a piece of 4 inch beech for a 5th bench. I don't have a place for one, though with the kids moving out, I may put one in front of the TV (what do you think about the new coffee table?). Anyway, the thing I noticed was that the weight stabilized in my unheated shop in under a year. There is some deal about how beech dries extraordinarily fast due to transverse pores. I guess!


After hearing about the Indies First campaign in the U.S., spearheaded by acclaimed author Sherman Alexie in 2013, Janie Chang decided a similar initiative should be brought to Canada. The result is Canadian Authors for Indies Day, which will take place May 2, 2015.
Last year Chang, the Vancouver, B.C.-based author of Three Souls, started speaking to authors and booksellers she knew to gauge interest in an event that would pair authors and independent bookstores for a one-day event. Although Chang originally imagined the event would be a B.C.-focused one, it has morphed into something much bigger.
As of Monday, nearly 100 indie bookstores and 270 authors throughout Canada had signed up, ranging from fantasy author Guy Gavriel Kay (The Fionavar Tapestry) to financial writer Gail Vaz-Oxlade (Debt-Free Forever) to award-winning novelist Steven Galloway (The Cellist of Sarajevo).
Through the event, booksellers and authors are left with the onus of contacting each other to arrange a possible event for May 2. Chang suggests authors can spend time at their assigned store handselling books and talking to customers, but it really is up to them.
“It brings traffic into the bookstores, and hopefully that means the stores will sell more books,” Chang said. “I really hope it raises awareness of how important independent bookstores are in the community. For me, what’s really important is that it also strengthens relationships between authors and booksellers, because [most] authors are very shy and retiring.”
In a harmonious coincidence, last year’s California Bookstore Day has announced that, in 2015, its event will expand to include the entire country. The California-coordinated event is also set for May 2, 2015.
Although the grassroots campaign was started by Chang, she credits its growing success to the help she has received from volunteers such as Mary-Ann Yazedijian, who is co-president of the B.C. Booksellers Association and manager of Vancouver’s Book Warehouse store on Main Street.
“I just think it’s so important for the whole community to support each other, from publishers to reps to booksellers to authors,” Yazedijian told PW. “Because we’re seeing such a strong bookselling community in the United States now, it’s really inspirational for us to work together to do this.”
Another person who has pitched in to help is Leslie Fletcher of the Retail Council of Canada, who has access to a national list of bookstores, and is helping put together marketing materials for social media. Chang’s publisher, HarperCollins Canada, has also agreed to create posters to advertise the event. Chang even had a conference call with members of the American Booksellers Association, to pick their brains about what worked for them.
Hal Wake, artistic director of the Vancouver Writers Fest, also gave Canadian Authors for Indies Day a big boost by getting in touch with author Ann-Marie Macdonald (The Way the Crow Flies, Adult Onset), who agreed to be the public face of the event. Chang said having a “big-name author” will give the event credibility, the way Neil Gaiman and Daniel Handler have done for the Indies First campaign.
Macdonald said in a statement: “We all know how tough things are for Canadian independent bookstores. Year after year they support us. They stock our books, invite us for readings, and put our titles on their 'staff picks' shelf. Let’s do something to support them back.”
Chang hopes that her event will become an annual occasion, the same way Indies First has taken off in the U.S. The list of participating authors and bookstores has been slowly growing on the event's website, which Chang and others hope to officially launch on March 15.
“When people get on the website, we want them to get excited,” Chang said. “They’ll see that there are stores and authors together, and they’ll be able to walk into their local independent bookstore and get book recommendations from an author, and talk about books.”

Milito, Philip, "John Steff. The Canadian Encyclopedia, s.v. "John StefflArticle by Philip Milito
John Steffler's extensive body of work includes the novel The Afterlife of George Cartwright (1992), which was nominated for a GOVERNOR GENERAL'S LITERARY AWARD (1992) (1993), and the children's book Flights Of Magic (1987). Among his books of POETRY are An Explanation of Yellow (1981), The Grey Islands (1985, 2000), Th), winner of the 1999 Atlantic Poetry Prize. Subsequent volumes include Helix: New and Selected Poems (2002) and Lookout (2010), which was shortlisted for the 2011 GRIFFIN POETRY PRIZE. From December 2006 to November 2008 Steffler held.
The poem that perhaps most exemplifies these qualities of vivid imagery and immediacy is the title poem of the volume That Night We Were Ravenous; driving on a rainy night with a companion, Steffler suggests an averted auto accident, describing the landscape as if it were "a cow MOOSE" dancing "over the roof of our car wearing moccasins." There follows a stream of startling and wildly humorous imagery, where the "trees detached themselves from the shaggy/shoulder and stepped in front of the car... maybe a hunchbacked horse with goiter, maybe a team of beavers/ trying to operate stilts..." These discrete epiphanies follow one upon another, like the events of our lives allegedly passing before us on the verge of death. Steffler and his companion view this cascade of instants in the very heat of the occurrence. By the end of the poem, exhilarated by their survival of a catastrophic personal event, they are "ravenous... We entered one another like animals entering/ woods./ That night we slept deeper than ever./ Our dreams bounded after her like excited hounds." Such is the power of Steffler's poetry.

- Failing definitely sucks, but at least an attempt was made. I think it'd be way worse to not attempt something you've been wanting to do, than try said thing and fail at it. It's about the experience, the journey, how you get there, not about the destination we both have completed several Pinterest projects, all of which I failed to document (but I can tell you all about them in another post!)
So, lovely readers, tell me in the comments below what you've been up to since January! Have you been keeping up with your New Year Resolutions? Have you made some recent goals? Let me know!
Seems easy enough right? One would think. If you have seen my YouTube videos, you know I wear red lipstick in just about all of them. Chances are, they are different lipsticks. I buy many different lipsticks all the time, I almost have more lipsticks than eyeshadows (now thats a feat!).
Today I am going to be reviewing MACs Ruby Woo Retro Matte lipstick.
MAC has always been a brand I was scared to try. Why? Because it costs at least sixteen dollars for a lipstick, and depending on the collection and type, could cost more. I also secretly didn't want to give in to MAC, for that I don't really have a legitimate reason.
Expensive. Chalky. Peels after a few hours. Doesn't survive messy dinners (noodles, burgers, etc).
Overall, I would give this lipstick an A-.... I know there's perfection out there somewhere.
Do you use this lipstick? Do you have one you want me to try?
I have a video on my Youtube Channel about the day leading up to the event, so I'm just going tell you about the actual proposal.
We pull up to the third "love tree" and our driver starts saying how he has done 70 marriage proposals, most in front of the love tree, and he hasn't seen anyone decline yet. We stop in front of the tree, and he says, "the best part about it, is that there is usually one person that has no idea of what is going on..." He then turns around, looks at me, looks at Catherine, looks at me again, and back at her, and then turns back around and continues the tour. Now, I thought it was odd, and it started to feel awkward... but I let it slide. (You see, Catherine missed her cue! But its okay... she improvises later in her state of almost-panic).
Of course, I said yes!!
On our way back to our car, she started telling me her MONTHS of planning, and telling me that literally EVERYONE knew what was happening... and then it all made sense. Looking back, there were MAJOR clues that she was going to propose, and I still giggle to myself about it.
That is the story about how she proposed to me!

39. See Henrietta Weigel, "Personal Impressions," in _Richard Wright: Impressions and Perspectives_ , ed. David Ray and Robert Farnsworth (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 1973), 71–75.
40. Replansky's communications with Wright are preserved in his papers. In the mid-1940s, frequently from California, she sent Wright poems, reported on her meetings with Bertolt Brecht, and described her stay with Natalie Moffat (a lover of Simone de Beauvoir's, then married to the director George Stevens). See letters of Replansky to Wright of 8 September 1945, 18 June 1946, 7 September 1946, and 31 January 1947, Beinecke Library.
41. See Rowley, _Richard Wright_ , 355–56 and 408.
42. Less is known about Wright's affairs with women in Europe—Madelyn Jackson, Vivian Werner, and Celia Hornung—which probably occurred after most of the novel was written.
43. In _The Outsider_ , the Communist activist Bob Hunter, like C. L. R. James, is from Trinidad and is eventually imprisoned by immigration authorities on Ellis Island, as later happened to James (1953). In a private conversation in Paris in July 1993, Wright biographer Michel Fabre, usually a reliable source, told me that Wright and Webb had been lovers during the late 1940s, meeting under the pretense of his teaching her how to drive. If so, this was not acknowledged by Webb in her autobiography, _Not Without Love: Memoirand remains unconfirmed.
44. These observations and those on the following pages are all summarized from Wright's draft perspectives for "American Pages," although it is not possible to include all of his ideas. One can view the full document in the Wright Papers.
45. Hank Johnson's father had been a member of the IWW. Hank had come from Texas to New York to attend City College from 1930 to 1934, during which time he worked for the International Workers Order (1932–34). Johnson then joined the CIO Steel Workers Organizing Committee in 1936 ameatpacking unionization drive in Chicago in 1937. One of the founders of the Communist-led National Negro Congress, he was believed to be a Communist but never publically identified himself with the Communist Party. References to Hank Johnson can be found in Wright's diary for 1945, box 117, folder 1860, Wright Papers.
46. Arthell Shelton and Hank Johnson were featured prominently and favorably in a _Chicago Defender_ article replete with photographs, "What Goes On in Packingtown?," by the pro-Communist Harold Preece, 23 September 1939, 13.
47. Wright's diary for 1945, Wright Papers.
48. Roger Horowitz, email to author, 15 July 2008. The only way that Shelton could conceivably have been linked to the Communist movement in the 1940s concerns an incident in the August prior to the murder. At that time, Shelton, the bodyguard for AFL officer Norman Zuckowsky, assaulted a police officer. A Judge Quilici managed to get the charges against Shelton dismissed and apparently participated in a cover-up. Perhaps Quilici organization then significantly influenced by Communists, might once have been a fellow traveler.

51. This led to a ccreation of the Comics Code. Wertham was influenced by Freud, but his main emphasis was on the environment and social background as having major effects on psychological development. Among Wertham's many connections to the Left was that he helped the imprisoned Ethel Rosenberg and served as an advisor in the adoption of the Rosenberg sons.
52. Isidor Schneider, "One Apart," _New Masses_ , 23 April 1945, 23–24. Diana Trilling comments on the affair in _The Beginning of the Journey_ (New York: Houghton Mifflin, 1995), 215.

55. This debate is discussed at length in Wald, _Trinity of Passion_ , 222–27.
56. Hunter's personal situation also has some resemblance to that of C. L. R. James's, as he is under threat of deportation to the Caribbean. One leading African American Communist who attacked Wright in print was James W. Ford, "A Disservice to the Negro People," _Daily Worker_ , 5 September 1944, 6. Ford insists that Wright had been well treated by the Communist Party, which had never tried to hold him back in his career.
57. See the articles "Anna Damon Dies after Long Illness," _Daily Worker_ , 14 May 1944, 5, and "Communist Party Mourns Death of Anna Damon, ILD Leader," _Daily Worker_ , 20 May 1944, 9. The suicide is mentioned in Bella Dodd's _School of Darkness_ (New York: P. J. Kennedy, 1954), 172. The Communist press reported only that Damon died after a protracted illness, in the throes of excruciating pain, while preparing to attend the Communist Party national convention as a delegate. Damon's funeral may have been dramatized in the novel as the basis for Gil Blount's. "Many at Rites for Damon," _Daily Worker_ , 21 May 1944, 12, reports that over 100 people attended an interracial farewell tribute at the Plaza Funeral Home.

Spelman College Digital Moving Image Salon Student Documentary Showcase April 25
ATLANTA (April 22, 2013) – Each year, novice and veteran student filmmakers enrolled in Spelman College Digital Moving Image Salon’s film studies course draw from their personal interests and academic pursuits to produce documentaries that detail the varied and layered experiences of women of the African Diaspora. Three student collaborations from the course, which delve into health and wellness, the Syrian Revolution and homelessness, will premiere at the Ninth Annual Spelman College Digital Moving Image Salon Student Documentary Film Showcase Thursday, April 25, 2013, at Midtown Cinema.
“DMIS producers create films that focus on the lived experiences of women. Many of these experiences, and the related points of view, seldom find their way into mainstream media conversations,” said Ayoka Chenzira, Ph.D., filmmaker and founding director of the Digital Moving Image Salon. “The common thread in this year’s documentary films is what I would call ‘the tenacious spirit.’ Whether it’s women taking control of their lives through exercise and more nutritional diets, or learning to value themselves against overwhelming odds, or inventing creative ways to protest against war, the women featured in the films show us how they have used their vision, commitment, will power, and a plan, to make a difference.”
In addition to the April 25 screenings, the DMIS Celebration of Excellence Award will be presented to Shilla Benning, an award-winning costume designer and stylist who has designed for television, films, theatrical productions, and concerts as well as celebrities including Terrence Howard, Erykah Badu, Andre 3000 and Tarij Henson. Benning’s work can be seen in Tyler Perry’s “House of Payne,” “Single Ladies,” and “Footloose.” She is one of a small number of African-American women costume designers who have consistently worked in the film and television industries for more than 25 years.
The documentary screenings and award presentation will take place at 7 p.m. at Midtown Cinema (931 Monroe Drive, Atlanta).
The event is free and open to the public. For more information call 404-270-5625 or visit DMIS Student Documentary Film Showcase.

Clash of the Fine-Dining Titans
Can Jeremy King fend off Richard Caring and others who want to take over the crown jewels of the London restaurant world?
Jeremy King does not usually go in for fighting talk, in the same way that the Dalai Lama tends to avoid a bar brawl. The man behind London’s most beloved restaurants is known for his overawing cordiality and calm; a relaxed rigor, even among the heat and tumult of a fiery kitchen.
To see him shimmer across the marbled floor of the Wolseley—a bastion of civility that makes the Ritz next door look like … well, anything but the Ritz—is to observe some high priest of sweetness and light at work. (A private joke with Joan Collins here; a kind recommendation to a lost Texan there.) But today, as he fights for control of the restaurant group that bears his name, King has his dander up. “If you wish to avoid a war,” he says, “then don’t start a battle.”
The skirmish in question is with Minor International—a Thai hotel conglomerate and the majority backers of the Corbin & King restaurant group, which King set up with his partner Chris Corbin back in 2003. (Other restaurants under this umbrella include Colbert, on Sloane Square, and the Delaunay, on Aldwych.) In short, it all hinges on a $51.5 million loan.
“The real breakdown came because they were trying to insist that I sell franchises of the Wolseley into different regions,” King explains. “I’d be perfectly happy to take the Wolseley abroad,” he says. “But it’s just about how it’s done. The problem with franchises is that you do lose control.”
It all hinges on a $51.5 million loan.
(The rumors go that Saudi Arabia was high on the Minor wish list, “which is sort of depressing and crass,” Giles Coren, The Times of London restaurant critic, tells me. “The two main things about the Wolseley are that it’s on Piccadilly and that Jeremy is always there. Once you take those two things away, you’re frankly left with the schnitzel—and I don’t see the point in selling that to the Arabs, really … ”)
King explains that the financiers urged him to “sack all the staff” during the pandemic (“which I didn’t”), and that they fundamentally disagreed over the running of the company. “Their attitude was that if someone offers you money, you should take it,” King continues. “Mine was that, if someone offers you money, you should do a lot of due diligence, and think about the overall repercussions.”
Cue an almost Diana-grade outpouring of grief across Instagram and the broadsheets, with many declaring their unwavering devotion to the restaurant group and to the Wolseley in particularhas come in through media and social media,” King says. “It is gratifying—but also helpful.” This, he insists, along with the “wisdom of experience,” has helped him remain philosophical amid the storm. And there is a sense, King tells me, “that whatever happens, we’ll find a way through.”
The blood, however, may have just begun to simmer. Last week, The Sunday Times of London reported that Richard Caring’s Caprice Holdings—the rival Mayfair hospitality group behind Sexy Fish, Annabel’s, and the Ivy Collection—had met with Minor to discuss a potential acquisition of the Corbin & King restaurants, and that the talks pre-date the current financial administration. (Capric)
For some, a Caring intervention is a fate worse than death for the likes of the Wolseley. After the terra-cotta-hued former cloth merchant took control of the Ivy and the Caprice (owned and operated during their 1990s pomp by King and Corbin), he began gradually to turn the Ivy from a singular West End society honeypot into a middle-market regional chain. “The world has not been impressed by it,” Coren says. “The rollout that Caring has done has been dismal.” (It is telling, perhaps, that on the morning I spoke with King, a press release arrived in my inbox announcing the imminent launch of a Sexy Fish Miami.)
More to the point, King and Caring could not be further apart in temperament or taste. The former is softly spoken and attentive—a restaurateur of a former era who visits each of his sites every day to check on the fall of a tablecloth or to wish happy birthday to a 90-year-old regular.
Caring’s Sexy Fish, which opened on Berkeley Square in 2015, is rumored to house one of the most expensive art collections of any restaurant in London.
The latter is a more fragrant character, who has built his impressive empire via aggressive acquisitions and splashy openings—and runs his operations from the boardroom rather than the restaurant floor. “He’s an all right bloke,” says Coren. “But the idea that he might go about buying the things that Jeremy has made, and make them shit, is a bit depressing.”
.
And while King has been in talks with the U.S.o help refinance the loans with minimal disruption, to some degree the fate of the company is beyond his control. “It’s in the hands of the administrator, and who knows what offers they might have?”

Abstract: We calculate the one-loop squared contributions to the next-to-next-to-leading order ${\cal O}(\alpha^2\alpha_s^2)$ radiative QCD corrections for the production of heavy quark pairs in the collisions of unpolarized on--shell photons. In particular, we present analytical results for the squared matrix elements that correspond to the product of the one--loop amplitudes. All results of the perturbative calculation are given in the dimensional regularization scheme. These results represent the Abelian part of the corresponding gluon--induced next-to-next-to-leading order cross section for heavy quark pair hadroproduction.


But HSBC and Citi took to battle on the playing fields of the Hong Kong Football Club in April for a fixture they hope will one day rival in intensity HSBC’s annual golf challenge against the old Jardine Fleming.
The match was played without a referee, suggesting that despite politicians’ rhetoric banks can actually compete and at the same time work together to achieve effective regulation.
The game started off as a cagey affair, with HSBC securing a narrow 1-0 lead by half time. A stirring half-time team talk by skipper Phil Lipton had HSBC out peppering the Citi goal in the second period like originators on the hunt for an Asian high-yield mandate. HSBC took a 5-1 lead midway through the half.
HSBC started to tire at that point, as a strong substitutes bench used by Citi captain David Russell started to take over the game. They pulled it back to 5-3 by the final whistle, with Citi’s co-CEO for Asia, Stephen Bird, telling Euromoney that "another 10 minutes and we would have had them. They were on their last legs."
Both sides say the game was played in a tremendous spirit, which was demonstrated when Citi revealed a surprise trophy that was duly presented to HSBC, with the promise of a chance to win it back soon.
That match might have added spice given Citi’s determination to take on HSBC and build market share in the Hong Kong retail banking sector. Citi’s opening shot is to keep its branches open till 7pm, rather than the 5pm close the majority of HSBC customers face.

When Almost Everyone Becomes A Bootlegger...
Is it that simple to obtain TD music? "Warm up your CD-R-burners", some fans stated in a discussion a few days ago when they read about forthcoming releases on the (unofficial) Tadream Mailing List.
Especially with such pirate "releases", copies from official albums collectors have entered "a legal minefield", Klaus Beschorner, one of Germany's experts in TD bootlegs, warns. Regarding CD-R bootlegs especially of concert tapes, he refers to German copyright laws: "Don't fool yourself into thinking there won't be any problems because 'it doesn't hurt anybody's profits'."
The CD-R technology has offered the high-tech opportunity to preserve rare material like radio shows or concert outtakes which would otherwise lose quality on cassette tapes over the years. With technology becoming cheaper, a grey market becomes flooded with CD-Rs, many of them of poor quality. Fans compile and offer CD-Rs with snips from various concert tapes. Almost everyone is able to become a bootlegger, not considering that using the same material over and over makes records worthless and collecting senseless.
'Pirate' abuse can be found on record fairs: CD-Rs from TDI's pre-release CD The Keep and from the deleted Manikin CD Macula Transfer as well as music copied from other bootlegs. Thus, CD-Rs may replace "traditional" bootlegs more and more, but won't make such recordings legal.

Musicians all over the world have always created style statements. Be it long hair, weird tattoos, piercings and/or use of metal accessories. Well, today’s street musicians are no different. While I was exploring Jakarta, I dropped by Taman Suropati one morning to see these street musicians teach music to young kids.
This was also the time when I got to see and meet these street musicians. Not only did they play good music, but they also looked the part. One of them had such beautiful long straight hair that even girls would feel proud of it. And I met one more guy who not only had long hair, but had also painstakingly braided it to such extents that he can never remove the braids but cut it in case he wanted his natural hair back.
Both these street musicians were friends. While one played the guitar, the other was a vocalist and between the two they compiled some great songs. It was a pleasure to know both of them and I hope to see and meet such special street musicians in Jakarta and all over the world.


rian Glanville, the English author and soccer writer, headed up an investigation in the early 1970s for the _Sunday Times_ newspaper. The investigation discovered that a Hungarian agent, Dezso Solti, was working to fix matches for the Italian team Juventus. Glanville and his colleagues revealed that Solti had invited a Portuguese referee to meet him in his hotel room before a European Cup semi-final. When the referee showed up, Solti had an attractive blonde woman on his arm and offered the referee a car if he helped Juventus into the final. Barin seems to be from the same man-of-the-world mould as Solti: a sophisticated, multilingual fixer from the former Soviet empire, Barin dresses immaculately in finely cut suits. You could imagine him showing up at a referee's door with a blonde on one arm. The difference is that Barin would be providing the referee with the blonde.
For years, Barin provided referees and club owners with women, gifts, and bribes all in an attempt to help his French client clubs with European success. He established a financial network across two continents with bank payments to accounts in Zagreb, Switzerland, and Vienna. Barin knew how to fix games. He had style, a worldly knowledge, and ability to judge human nature. And on July 11, 1995, he gave the ultimate insider's tutorial in match-fixing in an office room in a Marseilles courthouse to French magistrate Pierre Philipon.
Barin claims his match-fixing began in 1981 when Claude Bez, the president of Girondins de Bordeaux, watched his beloved soccer club lose yet another UEFA Cup game on a disputed penalty from an allegedly bought referee. After the game, Barin turned to a disappointed Bez and said, "If you want us to win, you've got to make a move and do what all the others do." Bez said, "Okay."
So Barin set out to change the "luck" of the club. He would say later about his work:
When a club asks me to look after the referees, it is not because I work as a translator. But, for sure, because I can influence the referees. It was important for me to organize a favourable atmosphere for the referees before a match. To accommodate them, to make sure they were well-received, give them gifts. You have to know which of the referees have children, so when they leave, they leave with well-packed suitcases.
In other words, Barin bribed referees. He gave them fur coats, Rolex watches, perfume, expensive clothes, and stylish pens. Barin also worked for Olympique de Marseille, owned by the charismatic businessman Bernard Tapie. Barin recounted that they often met the referees before the matches on Tapie's yacht.
I remember one occasion when a referee was on the _Phocéa_ , Bernard Tapie's yacht, and he remarked that it was a nice watch on Tapie's wrist. The next morning that referee got a gift of that type of watch... I believe that it was a British referee, but I don't remember which match he acted in.
When Barin was working for Bordeaux, they ran two sets of accounts: the first, the legitimate and public account; the second, the secret blackmarket accounts where they hid money from the French tax authorities. To get money for the black-market accounts, they fiddled the books on the international transfer of players. For example, they would declare publicly that a player would cost 7 million francs; however, the _real_ cost would actually be much less: 3.5 million francs. Then they would take the 3.5 million off their books and put it in secret slush funds. Using these methods, Barin built a trail of secret bank accounts across Europe. It is his claim that the money in those accounts was used to bribe referees and teams in at least sixteen European games for Bordeaux and dozens of transfers for the two teams. However, in the early 1990s, the whole scheme began to unravel. He claims now that he was caught up in a series of political and economic manoeuvres. Bernard Tapie was considered a left-wing politician, so the right wing came after him.
French magistrates tell a different story. Under the French legal system, there is a role that does not exist in English common law: prosecuting magistrate. They can be remarkable investigators, launching independent inquiries with resources and power that most police forces simply cannot match. One of them began to question the hundreds of millions of taxpayers' money that went to help support the Bordeaux soccer club. Then other magistrates began to investigate the fix that Bernard Tapie and Olympique de Marseille arranged against a struggling northern club, Valenciennes. (They set up the fix without using Barin, which was a big mistake.) Barin, who at the time was one of the biggest player-agents in international soccer, was drawn into the investigation. He refused to submit voluntarily to a cross-examination by the French magistrates and a European arrest warrant was issued. Between 1992 and the winter of 1995, Barin was an international fugitive from justice. There were a series of dramatic escapes in hotels, and rumours that he was tipped off before police raids in Graz in Austria and at the Novotel Hotel in Bordeaux. Finally, on February 23, 1995, German police caught up with him at Düsseldorf airport. He was arrested and extradited to France.
The French magistrates, thinking of the trouble they had taken to get Barin, kept him in prison for five months. It shook himsting the "inhumane conditions." It was all to no avail. Softened up by his time in prison, Barin appeared before Pierre Philipon on July 11, 1995, promising to tell all if he was released from jail. The hearing featured a dramatic meeting between Barin and Jean-Pierre Bernès, the former general manager of Olympique de Marseille. After four and half hours, a shaken Gilbert Collard, Bernès's lawyer, came out of the room and said, "Mr. Barin has pointed the finger at the entire organization of world football. It is a system of giant corruption that it is no longer possible to ignore. This dossier is going to touch upon other investigations which will go in all sorts of directions.... There is going to be a tidal wave that is going to submerge the world of football."
What had shaken Collard was that Barin was not only giving a tutorial in his match-fixing methods, but he was also providing the investigators with receipts, exact financial amounts, and numbers of illicit bank accounts. Between Jean-Pierre Bernès and himself, Barin revealed that Olympique de Marseille's match-fixing was more than simply a one-off event; it was a pattern of consistent and constant corruption. They had created special slush funds totalling 5 to 6 million francs a year to fix certain key, usually European, matches. At Bordeaux, Claude Bez had paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts and cash payments to referees.
Among other specific examples, Barin and Bernès talked about arranging matches between AEK Athens and Olympique de Marseille in the European Cup in October and November 1989. To fix the first game, which was played in Athens, they claimed they paid the players of the opposing team to lose. The day before the match, Bernès transferred 1.76 million francs into a Swiss bank account controlled by a Panamanian company led by Greek businessman Spiros Karageorgis, who had connections to AEK Athens. For the return match in Marseilles, Barin was in charge of taking care of the referee, Helmut Kohl of Austria. Barin said, "M. Kohl was a big friend of mine. He died in 1992 of cancer. He was employed by the Austrian postal system. He was in financial difficulties. I relayed him the sum of 310,000 French francs or 698,190 Austrian schillings to his Austrian account on the 10 November 1989."
There were other revelations: receipts purportedly for bribes of 100,000 Deutschmarks to the German referee and linesmen in a European Cup tie; Italian officials being approached before a Marseille match against the Danish team Brondby (there is no evidence that they took any money); and bribes paid to the Russian team Spartak Moscow in the semi-final of the European Cup in 1991.


Pascal Savy returns with further deconstructions and the application of fairly mind bending physics and philosophies to composition (rhizome, phase differentiation and deterritorialization) – namely the use of erosion, decay, control (or lack of), connectivity & heterogeneity, tonal mutations and cross pollination to allow his works to organically grow with lives of their own. The four tracks within are really rather lovely representations and interpretations of this processing style which include a kit and source list of: A couple of piano samples recorded in a disused Norfolk windmill (hang on… a piano…in a windmill?) plucked and bowed guitar, processed sine waves, FM synth, a self-oscillating analogue filter, a turntable, monome and handheld recorder with found sounds from a French church and Kew Gardens….nice!

I'm looking for something semi-specific this summer, so I figure I would try posting here and see what happens!I'm 27 and a recent NYC transplant. I've wanted to live here for as long as I could remember, so I finally took the plunge and just moved down. I'm extremely well educated, traveled and pretty easy going. I live on the beach for the summer, go into Manhattan all the time and am really looking forward to a summer of fun and accomplishing some goals. Ideally I'd like to find one guy to have some summer fun with. The catch--I'm really attracted to older men, meaning 35+. Job/career isn't really important as long as we have great conversation and enjoy being in each other's company. I don't need someone that I have to talk to on the phone 3x a day or see every night. Just something casual, exciting and fun while I acclimate myself to this amazing city. As for looks, I tend to be attracted to dark haired, clean shaven men. If you want to send a picture feel free, but honestly personality and how our senses of humor match up are much more important to me. Good luck to everyone!
Paralyzed by fear that you'll know the person who is posting?

The Virtual Reality Hardware Roadmap: Where is the Tech Going?


Had’sYet for today’s public, nuclear weapons remain largely out of mind. Hiroshima and Nagasaki, notwithstanding the historic Obama visit, are barely in the consciousness of the current generation with the Baruch Plan lost in time. The fact that no country has used the bomb since World War II has inured many nations to the danger.
This brings us back to the Baruch Plan, a practical idea even for today. The elimination of nuclear weapons and capacity in three countries – South Africa, Belarus and Ukraine – offer proof of performance that weapons can be eliminated.

Unknown to Thor, the apparition rescues Desak and allows him to heal in hiding. Desak returns many years after a changed Thor has conquered the Earth, and kills many of Thor's closest Asgardian comrades. It is at this moment that the apparition is revealed to be Tarene, the Designate, who had traveled back in time to try to stop the future from occurring. Merging with the Destroyer, Desak becomes even more powerful, but now faces an enlightened Thor who realizes that his actions were wrong. Thor hurls his hammer Mjolnir with such force that it completely decapitates the Destroyer, killing Desak instantly.
Desak possessed superhuman strength, endurance, and his stone-like skin provided him with an extremely high resistance to injury. Desak had the ability to fly, teleport, shoot energy beams from his eyes, and survive indefinitely in the void of space. He could sense all aspects of godliness, immortality in an individual, and he was given power equal to any god. With his Amulet of Power, he could also absorb their life force into the gem, adding the defeated god's power to his own. It had not been revealed to what limit the amount of power Desak could attain. However, Desak had destroyed whole populations of gods single-handedly.

Guest post by Lindsay McClure, a passionate writer and multimedia content producer who is lucky enough to call Hood River, OR her home. Originally posted on Faradaybikes.com.
Riding a modern e-bike is an addicting feeling. I’ve found that when I’m riding, my mind often starts sewing plans that will get me, and everyone I know, spending more time in the saddle. A similar experience set wheels in motion at Oregon E-Bikes.
Oregon-E Bikes is a sister store to Big Winds, one of the largest windsurfing, kiteboarding and stand up paddleboarding product and accessory outfits in the United States. Both shops are located in downtown Hood River, OR.
Steve Gates, owner and founder of Big Winds, is an avid adventurer, strong as an ox and stubborn when he needs to be. In May of 2016, Steve was in the middle of chemotherapy and an all-out assault on cancer. Still, he didn’t want chemo to prevent him from doing the things he loves, and he started thinking that an e-bike might help him to stay connected with his family and the outdoors. When he started shopping around he found that, in many stores, the e-bikes were positioned in a forgotten corner in the back of the shop. As a retail store owner for 30 years, Steve was disappointed when he felt that his only option was buying online. He also sensed an opportunity.
Steve eventually found an e-bike, and he and his family immediately started logging miles. They were hooked, and they wanted to get the whole town on board. Hood River is a community that’s built on a hill. The town is an oversized auditorium that looks out at beautiful Mt. Adams and the Columbia River Gorge. Biking from downtown to the neighborhood known as “The Heights” will get even Hood River’s fittest residents huffing and puffing. For a town of it’s size, Hood River is home to a disproportionately large number of world-class athletes and, still, most residents find bike commuting impractical. Avid mountain biker, kiteboarder, surfer and Hood River local Gabi Carroll explained: “After work, I don’t usually want to sweat it out so I try to find creative ways to get up the hill without having to use a car.”
Big Winds managers Jodie Gates and Matt Morrow started thinking about all of their friends and coworkers who prefer to bike instead of drive. They recognized how many of their neighbors resort to driving their cars when they’re running late or have stuff to transport. Compared with cars, e-bikes are kinder to the environment, more economical, better for the rider’s health, easier on the town’s infrastructure and more fun to ride — while being fast and equipped to haul cargo. It seemed like the perfect solution.
Steve and the team envisioned Oregon E-Bikes as a sidecar attached to Big Winds, and they started sketching out plans. In March of 2017, Big Winds blew a hole in the front wall of their retail store to make room for an addition that would house the new bike shop. Oregon E-Bike’s official opening was in May of 2017. Jodie, Matt, and Steve are dedicated to getting Hood River residents out of their cars, and they’ve seen steady progress toward this goal since opening the store.
One of Jodie’s unofficial roles at Oregon E-Bikes is getting new riders hooked on the products. When she took me out to test ride a Faraday Cortland, we went straight to the base of notorious 7th Street, the steepest climb in town and the last place I want to find myself when I’m on a bike. With my Cortland in “boost mode,” I flew to the the top of the hill. I didn’t have to snake or switchback, and I was amazed when I found myself at the top without dripping in sweat. While it’s fun to describe the experience of riding a Faraday for the first time, you really have to try it yourself and experience their “Sweat Less. Smile More.” motto first-hand. If you’re lucky enough to find yourself in Hood River, stop by and say hello to the Oregon E-Bikes team.
No matter how you feel about the kids heading back to class this year, dreading the drop-off line is a universal emotion. Here are a few e-bikes and accessories to load up your offspring, score cool parent points, and kick off the day Riding Happy.

The Thule EasyFold XT 2 was ready to use ride out of the box. No assembly required. You can secure the EasyFold to the hitch and lock it from up above. No need to crawl underneath to insert a hitch pin and lock. The tilt function is very convenient. The "claws" gripped the frames of the Cube step-through and the Faraday step-through very securely. It also worked with two Homage step-throughs with the use of frame adapters.

Charts Included: Hand and cuff colorwork patterns.
From Nancy Bush’s Pattern Introduction:
These ladies’ mittens were inspired by gloves from the village of Paistu, in Viljandimaa. They are named for Anu Raud, an honored Estonian crafts woman, weaver of exquisite tapestries, and collection of the folk art of her people. …
A Continental cast-on begins the cuff, which is shaped with decreases and increases. A six-stitch pattern repeat follows for the hand and thumb. Both finish with a one-wick decrease.


ats clean and mat-free, they are combed/brushed daily. Brulee's eyes drain a lot, so she needs special care in removing eye stains.
I got a good head rub session, extra treats, and some playtime!
Great post. Such sweet photos.
Very very true about allergies. I freak out when someone tells me they got rid of their cat because their child was 'allergic.' Crap. I was diagnosed as extremely allergic to cats when I was young and the doctor told my mother to 'get rid' of the cat. (I never liked that guy). Fortunately, she didn't. I lived with the same cat from the time I was 5 until I was 22. She saved my life more than once. What am I allergic to today? Nothing. ... well, except stupidity.
Gorgeous ladies ... including Mom Paula!
I am a pet lover and I agree with you that having a pet is a healthy thing for us humans. They makes us better healthier people in so many ways. I have allergies but I take medication and I am fine. I would do anything for my cats and my dog.
Those are beautiful photos of you and your girls! The love shines through. I'll have dogs and other pets as long as I can. </s> Cart

Smart materials, particularly color changing materials are common at several applications, e.g. time-/temperature indicating labels, smart packaging, and more. Smart Materials such as photochromic compounds have a light detecting behavior – e.g. light of distinct wavelength. Halochromic materials respond to pH (acid – base) variances. They gradually change after an induced stimulus from one color to another color. These color gradations can be defined as information to indicate different environmental influences. Due to this behavior, smart materials are able to store information about external conditions. Besides static data (2D), dots of smart material can be embedded in a smart code as (3D) dynamic sensor data. Smart materials can be printed as sensors and operate without power supply. By means of its CCD-camera a smart device e.g. smart phone, tablet, or smart watch can optically readout the particular information of the code. By scanning various smart codes during the transport chain, an autonomous information exchange in the Internet of Things (IoT) can take place.

Abstract : The Shapley value is defined as the average marginal contribution of a player, taken over all possible ways to form the grand coalition $N$ when one starts from the empty coalition and adds players one by one. The authors have proposed in a previous paper an allocation scheme for a general model of coalition formation where the evolution of the coalition of active players is ruled by a Markov chain, and need not finish at the grand coalition. The aim of this note is to develop some explanations in the general context of time discrete stochastic processes, exhibit new properties of the model, correct some inaccuracies in the original paper, and give a new version of the axiomatization.

Anomaly detection is an important quality control method used in many industries. Two areas where this technique is used are in the manufacturing of new products and the inspection of existing goods. With recent advances in hardware and state-of-the-art deep learning techniques, much of this can be automated. Here we present a recent effort to detect anomalous objects from raw pixels in a pill capsule manufacturing setting.
We would like to automatically detect the presence of foreign objects in a manufacturing setting for capsules. The capsules move along a conveyor belt and are visible for inspection. A camera, positioned above the belt, points straight down and captures a number of images per second as the pills move along with the belt. Figure 1 shows three images from this scenarios: pills on the belt with no anomaly (left), with a foreign object present, and with an anomaly present (right).
Figure 1: Examples of capsules on a conveyor belt. Left – no anomalies present. Center – a foreign object is present. Right – Anomalous capsules are present.
We would like to create a model which analyzes every frame taken by the camera, computes the location and likelihood of anomalies, and presents this information in a human-parsable format.
To capture these anomalies, we are going to train a convolutional autoencoder (CAE) to reproduce our training images. A CAE is a neural network consisting of two parts: an encoder, which transforms the original image into an encoding of lower dimensionality via a series of convolutional layers, and a decoder, which transforms the encoding back to a tensor with the same size as the original image via a series of transposed convolutional layers. A high-level representation of this type of network is shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2: High-level architecture of a concolutional autoencoder.
CAEs are trained by feeding an input image into the network, calculating the error between the reconstructed image and the input image, and propagating this error backwards through the network to update the invididual neuron weights. Because the error is defined as the difference between the entire input and output images, CAEs have the convenient advantage of not requiring labeled data.
However, when training a CAE to detect anomalies, some care must be taken when choosing training images. The general strategy for anomaly detection is: overtrain the CAE to reproduce commonly-seen objects as accurately as possible. In this way, any other objects that the network has not seen before (or has not seen many of) will be reproduced poorly by the network. Note that this is different than usual machine learning applications, where oftentimes the goal is to have the model generalize well to as-yet-unseen inputs. When comparing the input and output of a reconstructed image with an anomalous object, the pixels in the vicinity of the object will have a larger error than the rest of the image.
The strategy for choosing training images is to therefore obtain a large number of images containing the usual objects without any anomalies (in effect, low variance). For this application, we collected a few thousand images of capsules on a conveyor belt and trained our CAE until the error rate did not improve for 20 epochs in a row.
Figure 3: Model architecture optimization. Left – total reconstruction error of the image. Center – error in the vicinity of the anomaly. Right – anomaly error divided by total error.
Another important factor is to choose the smallest encoding possible while still being able to accurately reproduce the commonly-seen objects. Being able to accurately reproduce the common objects results in a low total image reconstruction error, and using a small encoding ensures that the network has a difficult time reproducing anomalies. We chose an encoding size of 20 x 12 x 12 not because it has the absolute lowest error, but because it had the largest relative anomaly error.
Figure 3 shows the optimization process we used to determine this size. The total reconstruction error of the image, along with the error of the image in the vicinity of the anomaly, are plotted as functions of the number of convolutional layers in the network. As expected, the total and anomaly errors decrease as the size of the encoding increases since the network is able to store more information in this encoding. However, the maximum ratio of anomaly to total error occurs for a distinct combination of network layers and filters. Increasing this ratio allows us to more accurately locate anomalies during post-processing, so we chose this combination of values.
Now that we have a trained model, we still need to display our results in a meaningful way. We also have to get rid of as much inconsequential error (noise) as we can. Post-processing through OpenCV can help us achieve these goals.
Figure 4 shows the input image, the reconstructed image, and the normalized error between the two.
Figure: Left – original image. Center – reconstructed image. Right – normalized error between original and reconstructed images.
We can see that the network did a reasonable job at recreating the pills. It managed to capture the location, orientation, size, and colors, but there are some expected small-scale errors. The network managed to recreate the color of the background but not the texture. Finally, the CAE failed entirely at recreating the anomalous ring object. It looks like it appeared to recreate it as a series of pills, but due to the size and shape of the object this was not possible. This manifests itself as a rather obvious white object in the error plot.
We can remove small-scale errors from the background and the pills using a few techniques. First, we will compute the predicted error of the CAE by running the recreated image through a single-filter convolutional layer. In a sense, the output of this represents what the network knows that it got wrong. This is shown in the left-most plot of Figure 5.
Figure 5: Left – predicted error. Center – mask created from thresholded predicted error. Right – reconstruction error with the mask applied.
Here, lighter pixels represent a higher predicted error. The center pane of Figure 5 shows the result of creating a mask from the predicted error. We set a conservative threshold so that only pixels with the highest predicted error will be removed. The result of applying this mask to the reconstruction error is shown in the right pane of Figure 5. Compared to Figure 4, we can see that quite a few of the small-scale errors have been masked out, especially near the edges of the image.
One more technique to reduce the small-scale errors still visible is specific to this application. The errors from the pills tend to result from the CAE failing to fully reproduce the shape and the glare present on each. We can apply a simple median blur with a conservative kernel size of 7 pixels to remove many of these. The results are shown in the left pane in Figure 6.
Figure 6: Left – median blur applied to the masked reconstruction error. Center – thresholded and colorized error. Right – the final result.
The blurred image has removed most of the small errors but has barely altered the error from the anomaly. We apply a simple threshold to this frame, and then convert the remaining error pixels to a blue-to-red color map, with higher value pixels being represented as more red and vice versa. This result, along with the final superimposed frame, are shown in the center and right frames of Figure 6, respectively.
Here is a video showing the result of anomaly detection on a moving conveyor belt with a handful of anomalies present:
We look forward to applying this technology to other anomaly detection applications.

Nr'ap'son'''tOnly time will tell which technology company will get smart glasses right and finally make them a mainstream product. While most will beat Apple to market, including LG U+ in 2020, I think that this is a key device category that Apple could once again take leadership in as they've done with the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and AirPods. It's just a matter of time.
For Apple it's not about rushing a single device to market that's flashy, short lived and immersed in super hype. If you look at the sheer depth and variety of patents that Apple has filed, you can see that they're looking at a family of mixed reality headsets and glasses.
