Project Swatch: Rouge Bunny Rouge Mysterious Tinamou Eyeshadow
As with my other RBR eyeshadows, the texture is excellent but I find the application to be a bit more sheer than say Abyssinian Catbird or Bejewelled Skylark. The swatches below are a couple of swipes of colour applied to bare skin.
The Rouge Bunny Rouge eyeshadow pots cost £20.50/€24, unfortunately I don't think this colour is available in refill form. I purchased Mysterious Tinamou from Zuneta.
7 comments:
I love this colour but think if I bought it I probably wouldn't use it. Just admire it in the pan! When I log into Zuneta it isn't one of my reccomended shades so I am even more sceptical about how much use it would get.
Can we see some pics with it applied as you have described? Maybe you could convince me ... when I finally justify Gracillis this beauty might have to be purchased at the same time.
xxRepliesI don't think Zuneta have it in stock at the moment or at least I couldn't find it in the drop down. So, it might not be a no no for you based on their recommendations. However, if you're not really one for colourful eyeshadow, you might find it sat unused (but admiried). I think you could easily justify Gracilis though.
I will try and get a picture of it applied over a black base. I've been meaning to do it for months but I'm finding it a real struggle to get face pictures at the moment. At least the lighting is in my favour, I just need to have a bit more child free time!! xxPS. I just discovered why it isn't on Zuneta. Reading Perilously Pale's post last night, it looks like MT is a shade that's exclusive to RBR Boutique now.
I love receiving comments and read each and every one. I always do my best to reply too. If you have a question and need a quick response, please feel free to email me.

Salman Khan at Mehboob studios News
Is Shahrukh Khan scared of facing Salman Khan?
Both the warring Khans were at Mehboob studios but they didn't bump into each other thanks to Shahrukh who was very cautious
Last year, Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan may have hugged each other at an iftar party but there is no dostana blossoming between the two. We say so coz recently the Karan Arjun co-stars were at Mehboob studios but the two did not come face-to-face. Click here to read more -

ACM TechNews is published every week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Leading U.S. computer scientists added their voices to those of technology companies and consumer organizations on March 1 in urging the Supreme Court not to overturn a lower-court decision declaring the Grokster and StreamCast online file-sharing firms unaccountable for digital piracy committed by their customers. The entertainment industry is lobbying for a reversal of this decision, arguing that it would reconcile the landmark Sony Betamax ruling with the challenges intellectual property owners face in today's digital and online environment. However, Grokster attorney Michael Page said during a conference call that such a move would make innovation and new product development nearly impossible without permission from copyright holders. USACM and 17 university computer scientists and engineering professors--Princeton's Edward Felten, MIT's Harold Abelson, and Carnegie Mellon's David Farber among them--warned in their brief that a ruling in favor of the entertainment industry could raise fears of copyright infringement to the degree that the advancement of computer and Internet technology would be stifled. Intel filed a separate brief also arguing that a strangling of tech innovation would result from a revised Betamax decision, because then tech companies would be forced to anticipate their innovations' potential applications and redesign them to avoid copyright infringement, thus driving up the price of both technology development and the end products for consumers and enterprises.

The Count Every Vote Act sponsored by Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) calls for the provision of a voter-verified paper ballot for each vote cast in electronic voting systems, and also mandates that all citizens have access to voter verification regardless of language, disability, illiteracy, or other factors. Among the bill's requirements is the designation of Election Day as a federal holiday; the use of verified paper ballots as the official ballot record in the event of a recount; the Federal Election Commission's issuance of uniform voting machine access standards; better e-voting system safeguards; the availability of machines with audio and visual features for visually impaired and illiterate voters; restoration of voting rights to convicted criminals who have completed their prison sentences, probation, and/or parole; the availability of trained election staff in all communities; and provisions for Election-Day voter registration at polling places. All of these measures will have to be in place by the 2006 elections if the bill is passed. The Count Every Vote Act is supported in the House of Representatives by Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-Ohio), who said the bill is necessary to guarantee the accuracy of elections. "The smooth functioning of our democracy depends on voters having faith in the fairness and accuracy of our voting system, and the Count Every Vote Act is an important step toward restoring this covenant," declared Clinton. However, VerifiedVoting.org executive director Will Doherty said the Clinton/Boxer bill is not as clear as another bill in the House introduced by Rep. Rush Holt (D-N.J.).

The ACM announced on March 1 the winners of the 2004 ACM awards, which will be handed out on June 11. "Like the recently announced winners of ACM's A.M. Turing Award, these contributions all recognize ground breaking innovations that influence how we communicate through the Internet," said ACM President David Patterson. "They also serve to illustrate the integral role for computer science skills in disparate callings like Internet traffic, network programming, architecture and poetry." The Grace Murray Hopper Award, which carries a prize of $15,000, will go to Princeton University's Jennifer Rexford, who was recognized as the outstanding young computer professional of 2004 for her work on guaranteeing stable and efficient network routing. The Software System Award, which comes with a $10,000 prize, will honor Secure Network Programming (SNP), a system used to keep communications between browsers, servers, and other Internet applications secure. SNP was funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Security Agency. Princeton's Robert Schapire and Columbia University's Yoav Freund will receive $5,000, along with the Paris Kanellakis Theory and Practice Award for their work with highly accurate prediction methodology employed in search engines. The recipient of the ACM/American Association for Artificial Intelligence Allan Newell Award, which is accompanied by a prize of $10,000, is Sun Microsystems' Richard Gabriel, who helped shape the growth and influence of object technology and played a key role in the development of the java.net software design community.

Software complexity continues to increase faster than Moore's Law, meaning that programmers will be unable to write and manage code without rethinking how to create programs, writes Partech's Nicolas El Baze. A number of companies are addressing this issue and moving toward model-based frameworks that will allow non-expert employees to rapidly execute new and complex tasks. Language provides a good metaphor for the type of models that are needed to deal with increasing software complexity: children develop a linguistic model that lets them quickly input and use new words; similarly, a model-driven approach would not only provide visual abstraction of programming tasks, but actually provide reusable intelligence and be context-aware. Generic application software models would even accommodate new languages by adapting, extending, and evolving existing models. Ideally, programmers would simply enter data, parameters, concepts, and goals to automatically produce working code. Some companies are already pursuing codeless development for specific functions, signaling a shift of intellectual property value from the code itself to the models with reusable intelligence. A model-driven approach to software creation could also help with enterprise application integration, especially as these models are made context-aware through use of semantic and ontology-based technologies; this framework would also have to deal with new distributed applications such as J2EE and .NET applications. Model-driven software development will not be developed in a short time, but will require hard scientific research similar to how the DNA mapping process was uncovered and is even still being transformed into an actionable model.

The European Commission's Future and Emerging Technologies initiative will showcase nine IST projects that will offer demonstrations of cutting-edge Presence research to visitors at the CeBIT 2005 Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) fair later this month. "Presence research aims at understanding and then creating the experience of being located in spatial or social environments displayed by advanced media technologies, such as Virtual and Augmented Reality, wearable displays, or high-end cinemas," explains Presence initiative coordinator Walter Van de Velde. Projects to be exhibited and detailed at the event include ADAPT, which analyzes how a sense of the environment develops in infants, and applies such a process to a robot; PRESENCIA, which has created a brain-computer interface designed to facilitate thought-controlled interaction between people and computers or virtual environments; HAPTEX, an investigation of new modes for enabling people to sense, touch, and handle textiles; LIFEPLUS, a proposal for a virtual, 3D recreation of ancient artwork; and BENOGO, a technology that captures imagery of actual locations, visualizes them in "full panoramic surround," and enhances them with virtual characters and objects. Presence research aims to help expedite the creation of more engaging augmented and virtual reality environments by studying the interaction of the numerous variables that collectively maximize the realism of such environments to the user. Understanding this interaction will help yield cheaper and more usable interface technologies. "Some of the best people in the field will be present [at CeBIT] to engage in dialogue on concrete ways to bring the results of this research forward to the benefit of the European society," says Van de Velde.

The Globus Consortium, launched with the backing of IBM, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, and Intel in January, aims to make the Globus Toolkit more appealing to companies that have previously been concerned with security and support for grid systems. The non-profit consortium is headed by one of the original Globus Toolkit developers, Steve Tuecke of Argonne National Laboratory, and promotes the grid-related products and services of its commercial backers as well as its own open source toolkit for corporate developers. The consortium aims to broaden the commercial application of grid computing beyond financial services, which use it to analyze portfolios, and biotechnology, which relies on grids to simulate protein folding. The manufacturing, aerospace, telecommunications, and energy industries are likely adopters of grid technology. Microsoft is a potential obstacle for the Globus Consortium, and is rumored to be working on its own grid computing software program code-named Bigtop. Microsoft has not joined the consortium, but recently was a significant funder of the Globus Toolkit effort and part of the Globus Alliance, says Tuecke. Even if Microsoft attacks Globus Consortium efforts in the same way it did the open source Linux operating system, Tuecke says the Unix-based Globus Toolkit already has garnered enough vendor backing to push forward. Other challenges include the number of latent bugs in the toolkit, a lack of grid-enabled business applications, and relative paucity of tools; moreover, many application developers are not familiar with grid computing.

The European Commission has rejected the European Parliament's request that the proposed "patentability of computer-implemented inventions" directive be scrapped, despite heavy opposition from members of Parliament, small and midsized businesses, and open-source organizations. Opponents fear that the proposal in its current draft would make software patents lawful in Europe and bring the European patent system more in line with the U.S. system. An EC representative confirmed that EC President Jose Manuel Barroso sent a letter to the president of the EP indicating that the Commission has refused to submit a new proposal on the IT patents issue; Barroso also said the EC expects the EU Council to officially accept the proposal "as soon as possible." Following adoption, the proposal would be submitted to Parliament for a second reading. Critics of the current proposal have attempted to prevent a second reading, which requires considerably larger majorities to support revisions than in a first reading. In the last month, the EP has fortified its position on the software patentability issue with its legal affairs committee's decision to request the Commission for a restart, the subsequent ratification of the decision by the EP's Conference of Presidents, and the EP's unanimous approval of a motion to urge the EC to take action. The EU Council could adopt the resolution on March 7; if a second reading in the EP proceeds, NoSoftwarePatents.com campaign manager Florian Mueller believes ministers will have the political muscle to either dramatically amend the proposal or discard it altogether.

Princeton computer science professor Edward Felten was galvanized by a recording industry lawsuit in 2001 that sought to prevent him and colleagues from publishing their examination of anti-copying technology. Felten is known as an intellectual property expert that has testified before Congress and in the Microsoft antitrust case, but the 2001 case spurred a sense that intellectual freedom was under attack and Felten has since actively fought for "freedom of ordinary users to adapt technologies to their cause," according to his daily blog, freedom-to-tinker.com. Felten recently co-authored a peer-to-peer file-sharing program in just 15 lines of code, in order to prove that such programs were easy to create and should not be banned, as the recording industry will argue in the MGM v. Grokster case before the Supreme Court this month. Graduate student Alex Halderman helped write the tinyP2P program, and received advice from Felten when he discovered copy-protected CDs could be compromised by pressing the Shift key--a discovery that prompted threats of legal action. Felten's knowledge of both technology and policy, and his tenured position at the university, put him in a good position to fight against entrenched interests. He says many legally questionable acts have resulted in product innovation and benefits to consumers, such as when RealNetworks devised a way to allow multiple audio file formats to work on the Apple iPod. Not only did the technique add value to RealNetworks' products, but it made people's iPods more useful as well, he says. Felten is currently working on a security analysis of airport passenger screening, especially ways in which the system can be made more effective without spending more money.

University of Florida computer science doctoral student Mark Foster has devised a "process forensics" technique that blends check-pointing and intrusion detection as a tool against hackers, which Foster detailed in a recent issue of the International Journal of Digital Evidence. The process forensics method is set up against hackers who exploit vulnerabilities in running computer programs to break into "host based" systems, where they can run their own programs or launch buffer overflow attacks. Foster's technique uses an intrusion detection system to automatically generate checkpoints of running programs that can be applied to digital forensics later on. "The idea is that you kind of need to know when something is happening before you start collecting information, or it'll be a lot of useless information," notes University of Central Florida computer science professor John Leeson, who believes that process forensics' ability to paint a picture of intrusions as they occur will be a valuable tool to digital forensics. UF's Carolyn Gramling explains that conventional intrusion-detection measures identify hackers and deter future break-ins only after they understand the computer system well enough to recognize abnormal activity. Foster says his technique takes the "learning phase" out of the equation and can be applied as the crime is taking place rather than afterwards. Click Here to View Full Article
University College London professor of human-centered technology Angela Sasse doubts that biometric technologies are mature enough to be implemented in a national ID card system. She argues that such a system could fail without additional research into three key areas--universal access, enrollment, and verification. The access challenges of biometric technology include acquiring fingerprints from people with arthritis, injuries, and other conditions that can affect readings, while Sasse notes that iris scan technology must advance so that contact lenses, glasses, age, and other factors are not a hindrance. Social fears must also be addressed: People exhibit reluctance to touching facial scanning equipment partly because of hygiene concerns, which Sasse says could limit the use of such technology in immigration scenarios. The quirks of human behavior are another variable to be considered: For example, certain environments may discourage people from holding a neutral expression for face scans, either because of boredom or giddiness brought about by alcohol consumption--a typical situation for people in airports. Sasse says the apparent success and low error rates of technologies such as the SmartGate facial recognition system involved a lot of work in terms of lighting overhauls, staff training, and so on, and she explains that a national ID system would entail a major security problem and massive data management costs. Sasse says the success of many systems hinges on the interval between the reading and matching of biometric data, noting that a U.K. trial of an iris scanning system failed because the system could only scan five people per minute instead of a dozen, as was hoped for.

A team of Cornell University students is working on robot vehicles to compete in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Grand Challenge, a contest in which self-navigating vehicles will be required to traverse an off-road course of roughly 170 miles without human assistance. Two Cornell vehicles have been registered for the contest, and both will integrate sensors and computers to perceive their surroundings and pass that data on to a decision-making computer that controls steering. A Light Detection and Ranging sensor will precisely measure distances to objects by beaming electromagnetic waves at wavelengths close to those of visible light, while radar sensors that emit waves of longer wavelengths will be able to measure the distance to solid objects, even if visibility is poor; finally, a two-camera stereo-vision sensor will provide a three-dimensional picture that is "much cleaner" than radar, according to sensor sub-team leader Aaron Nathan. Software on attached computers will be used to filter the sensor input and incorporate the data into a model of the outside environment that the steering software can more easily understand. The steering software will employ a path-finding algorithm to ascertain the vehicle's desired route, and send the appropriate direction and velocity commands. The steering software will also be imbued with special decision-making powers to help the vehicles deal with unusual situations, such as determining that the vehicle has struck a rock and should therefore back up.

Security researchers from Johns Hopkins University and RSA Laboratories say the radio frequency identification (RFID) industry needs to take cryptographic measures more seriously considering the wireless capabilities and widespread use of RFID technology, writes RSA Laboratories principal research scientist Ari Juels. The team, including Juels, was able to copy the cryptographic protection of a Texas Instruments RFID tag that is used to prevent automobile theft and for Speedpass tokens at gas stations. The Digital Signature Transponder (DST) tag manufactured by Texas Instruments was compromised by "skimming" the device, or briefly interrogating it through radio contact; information gathered from skimming was used to break the cryptographic key over 10 hours using specialized equipment worth several hundred dollars. Finally, the DST was digitally copied onto a separate hardware device. The researchers said the key-cracking process could conceivably be shortened to just minutes using specialized software, and that the entire hacking process could be accomplished with a specially made handheld device costing only a few hundred dollars. The danger is that organized criminals could use such hacking devices to overcome anti-theft measures, commit fraud, or gain access to restricted areas after they have skimmed a legitimate RFID cryptographic tag. Though the concept of security through transparency is well understood in the rest of the computer security industry, the rapidly expanding RFID industry is not accustomed to such necessary challenges, while RFID systems also require different protections because hackers' eavesdropping is difficult to trace and hardware-implemented systems are harder to update than software. RFID technology is also becoming a lynchpin of future security systems, ranging from supply chains to building security smartcards to other solutions. Click Here to View Full Article
A spate of high-profile data security breaches has caught the attention of a number of U.S. senators who are advocating more unified privacy laws. Just 10 days following the announcement of ChoicePoint's loss of more than 145,000 individuals' information to fraud, Bank of America said it lost backup tapes containing customer records of 1.2 million federal employees. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) five years ago warned colleagues against an "Exxon Valdez of privacy," and Electronic Privacy Information Center executive director Marc Rotenberg says recent events will likely be the trigger for serious congressional action. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) is preparing to revise the Fair Credit Reporting Act to treat data aggregators such as ChoicePoint and Acxiom like credit-reporting agencies. Another possibility is a federal version of California's Security Breach Information Act, which Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) proposed in June 2003 without success. That measure would require government agencies and businesses to notify individuals whose personal data may have been compromised. Cato Institute analysts suggest the use of tort law to force companies to strengthen their data security, and one California woman is already suing ChoicePoint for not adequately protecting her information. Besides business interests, the Bush administration may not want too strong regulation on data aggregators because agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice rely on those firms for identity-verification services.

A national shortage of skilled Australian IT personnel is on the horizon, according to officials who cited postponed government IT projects and rising costs as harbingers of the crisis. An anonymous source within Centrelink said many projects were paralyzed by the October election with the effective shutdown of a great deal of policy. The cost of the contracts for an integrated IT services panel to supervise Centrelink's Refresh Program, which encompasses nearly all of the agency's future IT and communications needs, may soon increase from its already formidable $120 million to $200 million price tag because of staffing difficulties. Just last week, Taxation CIO Bill Gibson admitted that a large customer relationship management project had been transferred from Canberra to Melbourne because he failed to source 100 senior IT professionals in the original location. Recruiters and business analysts such as Greythorn's Phillip Tusing perceive a scarcity of senior project managers, which means that those with newer skills will be able to command high salaries for the next five to six months. Jane Bianchini with Ambition IT reported that certified project managers are highly sought after. Candle recruitment general manager for New South Wales Peter Zonnevylle declared that the market has started to recover, as indicated by a pickup in project approval and the erosion of chronic IT project underspending.

Earthquakes, ecosystems, economies, and other inherently complex systems and events long regarded to be mathematically irreducible could be more measurable then previously thought, according to research into cellular automata, which are computer programs that can form complex patterns by following simple rules. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign researchers Nigel Goldenfeld and Navot Israeli applied pattern analysis via "coarse-grained" models to cellular automata. Such analysis, in which the models concentrate only on the most relevant details of the pattern-forming process, has demonstrated that similar logic principles apply to completely different situations. Goldenfeld and Israeli established that in 240 out of 256 cellular automata outlined by mathematician Stephen Wolfram, rules that generated relatively simple and predictable patterns roughly mirrored the behavior of rules that led to computationally irreducible patterns. This rule also held for automata notorious for their computational irreducibility. Meanwhile, Santa Fe Institute physicist Jim Crutchfield believes connections between the past and future for virtually any system could be predicted with a "computational mechanics" approach he has developed. He reasons that the various histories of a system can be sorted into classes, so that the same outcome applies for all histories in each class. This means that many details of the underlying system may be inconsequential, so that an approximate description much like Goldenfeld and Israel's coarse-grained models can be organized and used to make predictions. Crutchfield and Goldenfeld agree that coarse-graining could help tackle deep scientific problems.
Harvard University President Lawrence Summers' remarks that innate differences between genders might partially explain why fewer women than men pursue science and engineering careers instigated a storm of protest, but there may be some merit in his reasoning, according to a growing body of cognitive research. Cambridge University researchers see evidence of a natural predisposition toward figuring out how systems work among boys, while girls exhibit an inclination toward fathoming other people's mental states. In general terms, girls score better on tests involving arithmetic problems due to a reliance on learned algorithms, while boys score better in spatial tests and word problems because of a natural interest in 3D models. Boston College professor M. Beth Casey says the concentration on logical deductive reasoning rather than spatial math thinking in U.S. schools is disadvantageous to students. Martha Carr of the University of Georgia reasons that girls' tendency to follow instructions better than boys reduces their chances of making leaps in learning by themselves, while boys' learned or innate sense of competition increases the likelihood that they will advance to higher levels of mathematical thinking on their own. Other studies indicate that females with a predisposition to math generally have an more extensive set of abilities than their male counterparts, and are more likely to choose careers in life sciences and humanities; this suggests that equal representation of both sexes across all academic disciplines may be the wrong strategy. On the other hand, the influence of sexual discrimination and other social and cultural forces on boys' and girls' study and career choices is undeniable, and researchers say rethinking how certain disciplines are taught and demonstrating the social value of science and engineering can win over more women, and ultimately improve the math performance of U.S. students overall.

The debate over whether H-1B visa holders are beneficial or detrimental to the U.S. workforce will likely be rekindled as the U.S. government starts accepting visa applications from companies that wish to hire foreign workers with advanced degrees from American universities, a provision that has opened up 20,000 new H-1B visa slots. A Computerworld study of salary data from around 290,000 H-1B applications filed with the Labor Department indicates an across-the-board decline in H-1B wages between fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2003 in job categories that include programming, networking, systems analysis, quality assurance, and end-user support; this dip was reflected by falling salaries for U.S. IT workers, but research by Foote Partners indicates that domestic professionals' salaries began increasing in 2003, while H-1B wages continued their downward spiral. For example, Foote Partners President David Foote says U.S. salaries for networking and data communications professionals rose 6.2 percent in fiscal 2003, while the Labor Department estimates that H-1B wages fell 2 percent in the same period. Foote attests that "the economic recovery began in earnest" in 2003, attributing U.S. salary increases to employers wishing to retain personnel who were not let go during the tech spending meltdown. Executives such as GFI Group CIO Russell Lewis have seen no evidence to convince them that H-1B workers are cheaper than U.S. labor, although some past H-1B holders complain of being paid substantially below the prevailing wage by contractors. Other upcoming revisions to the H-1B program include a switch from a two-tiered prevailing wage system to a four-tiered system, which will permit employers to pay H-1B holders salaries between the top and bottom tiers of the prevailing wage scale; considerably higher application fees; and a requirement that employers pay 100 percent of a prevailing wage for new and extended H-1B petitions.

The limitations of printed textbooks will be largely circumvented by new technologies, such as the proposed Electronic Learning Tutorial Instrument System (ELTIS), to help meet the world's long-range educational needs and allow teachers to concentrate harder on individual students, while letting students assume more control over the learning process and improve their creativity. ELTIS' chief goal is to develop a system of Internet-based learning modules that are cheap, easily updateable, and almost universally accessible. The system would be able to tailor the presentation of information to the user's level of mastery in the subject, and allow learners to compose their thoughts and formulate educational projects calibrated to their interests or that address critical societal issues. Key to ELTIS' success is the joint development of tools by industry and educators, who would be responsible for identifying learners' most important needs. ELTIS would boast an electronic tutor that uses course outlines, syllabi, discussion proposals, and regular announcements to test, evaluate, and even grade the learner. The system could also correct erroneous reasoning among learners through computer simulation and modeling technology. Another critical element that could be incorporated into ELTIS is electronic personal avatars that can search for and organize information in accordance with the user's preferences, as well as draw on information accumulated in previous courses, personal reading, and from materials in personal electronic libraries. Despite all these advantages, ELTIS should not be viewed as a substitute for face-to-face learner/educator interaction.
Zeidman Technologies founder Bob Zeidman suggests that now is the time to take an evolutionary step in embedded systems software design by automatically generating or synthesizing software. He recommends that software engineers take a cue from hardware engineers, who expedited chip design by developing hardware-description languages in which high-level description that conceals much of the hardware's complexity from the designer is written, after which low-level description that can be directly mapped to the hardware is synthesized. To make a similar breakthrough in software design, Zeidman calls for the creation of primitives, which are higher-level constructs that describe what kind of code an automatic code generation tool must produce. Applications of software synthesis include the creation of complex functions in which the programmer does not need to understand the underlying code; the construction of portable programs that can be tuned for different processors, hardware platforms, and operating systems; and the automation of operating system creation. This last application supports the synthesis of operating systems free of superfluous functions and thus able to run on smaller, cheaper, and more power-efficient processors. However, Zeidman notes that this application depends on the compiler optimizing the low-level machine code. Field-programmable gate arrays could also benefit from software synthesis, which can support the creation of small, reliable, and relatively simple operating systems for every processor on the chip. Zeidman concludes that analysis and optimization of embedded systems, as well as experimentation with such systems, could be dramatically expanded via software synthesis.

Out on the Old Course, against a brisk headwind, with the sky a deep blue and the clouds puffy and white enough to be part of a soap advert and the course so slick Torvill and Dean might have done a turn, Colin Montgomerie seems beyond any form of tyranny.
Out on the Old Course, against a brisk headwind, with the sky a deep blue and the clouds puffy and white enough to be part of a soap advert and the course so slick Torvill and Dean might have done a turn, Colin Montgomerie seems beyond any form of tyranny.
He hits the ball a mile, then delicately plunders birdies, including one at the 568-yard fifth, achieved so effortlessly the practising scorers put him on top of their make-believe board at three under.
But then it has always been the easy part of the game for Monty. Playing it, that is. Just striking the ball is so much less draining than shaping an attitude if you have the kind of talent that makes failure at the highest level not so much a rough blow as a recurring stab at the heart. He receives another one, almost as a formality, before starting his practice round. "I'm not being hurtful here," says his interrogator, "but do you think it is more than ever now or never for you?"
Montgomerie, not quite impassively, says: "In the next few years?"
"No," his questioner persists. "This year."
The chains are on again, inevitably, and of course we know that Montgomery is powerless against this burden of expectation, partly because so much of it is created by his own unconcealed longing. "Not this year," he says quickly. "No, no. This is not now or never. If I don't win this Open that doesn't mean I can't win one.
"Mark O'Meara came here when he was 40 and he wasn't saying that. I believe I've got, say, five years at this level left. Let's be up in the top 10 for the next five years. I have been for seven years now and I'm very proud of that fact. I think I can remain in the top 10 in the world for the next five years. If I achieve that I have 20 opportunities of winning a major, right? This is just one of the 20."
Twenty opportunities, also, to be impaled on his own transparent desperation to convert a superb body of work into at least one major title, one mark of that excellence which comes when a golfer for four consecutive days holds together all of his talent and his nerve. And maybe gets a little luck. Ah, luck. He put the subject on the agenda at Pebble Beach after the latest eruption of Tiger Woods in the US Open, the one which means that after just four years as a pro the young American is now poised to complete the Grand Slam of majors - a glory for him, another poignancy for the unfulfilled Montgomerie.
In California the raw Monty had complained that over the years he considered himself generally unlucky, but now at this new dawn he was more philosophical. Maybe it wasn't so much his bad luck as the good fortune of others, at the odd time, that is. It is not so much a chip on the shoulder, you have to believe, as a constraint on the heart.
Montgomerie says: "There has never been a winner's speech where the guy stood up with his trophy and said, 'boy, I was unlucky.' You generally hear of bad luck more than you do of good. It's like a gambler: you only hear of the gambling guy that's won. You don't hear the fella that's actually lost. There's an awful lot of good breaks as well. We just have to accept that this week.
"Yes, the ball will hit the odd up slope or down slope or kick off or whatever. But four days is a long time and it should even itself out. As I say, the winner will have had a little time in his round, especially the last day, where either he has got fortunate or his opponents have had bad fortune."
Out on the course, the contradictions and the agonising fall away. He strikes the ball masterfully, chats with his father, James, and amiably offers Mark McNulty a brief seminar on optimism when he finds a bunker on the ninth.
Earlier he had talked with shining clarity about the demands of St Andrews in the historic tournament of 2000 - and could scarcely have been more upbeat about his own mood and form. "I feel I'm better than 12 months ago. I feel I've improved. I feel I'm possibly more relaxed coming in here. I spoke to you 12 months ago after having won Loch Lomond well and going into Carnoustie there was a certain weight of expectation that is sometimes difficult to play on, and I didn't do it and finished 15th or something not particularly good. This year the weight of expectation is not so great and I believe I'm more relaxed. And I know that when I'm relaxed I play my best golf. That's what I have to try to remain through today and this evening."
Staying relaxed. It doesn't sound so much when he says it quickly, but then you have to think of all the assaults on his composure, the cruel line he walks between brilliant success and disembowelling failure. He thinks that 12-under will be around the winning mark and that a good score, given the expected treachery of the pin positioning in defence of the name of the great course, will be 67.
At practice, Montgomerie makes such targets seem a potential stroll along the shore, but then that is the bright light of his talent. The shadows remain as ominous as ever. He agreed that he was fed up of Tiger Woods dominating every conversion, and an American, perhaps aware of this, followed up on his theory that inexperienced players could easily be suckered into dangerous attempts at covering the flag with the question, "Are you trying to say Tiger Woods is not quite the favourite everyone might think?"
Montgomerie snapped: "I never said he wasn't experienced, for God's sake.
"All I said was we are all hitting the ball an awful long way because of the condition of the course. A lot of people can drive the last right now. I did it yesterday."
The exasperation is fleeting and plainly Monty is having a good day. He has a measure of belief in himself and, no, the success of his fellow Scot Paul Lawrie last year at Carnoustie has not brought unwelcome pressure. He will get there in the end, he insists. He has a whole five years.

Critically analyse the development of the law in the area of implied terms, with particular reference to the burden/duties placed on the "employer" and the "employee".
Example Employment Law Essay
Implied terms play a very important role in the operation of employment law. As Middlemiss notes, "often prospective employees are faced with accepting the standard terms of an employer or not getting the job"1 and consequently "Employment law tries to offset this problem by inter alia introducing implied terms into the contract of employment."2 Employment law has developed implied terms that create duties for the employer and the employee. Of all the implied terms creating a duty for an employer, the duty of mutual trust and confidence is usually cited by commentators as being the most significant. Holland and Burnett note that this duty has become "a sort of 'default rule' in the governing of employment relationships"3, whereas Middlmiss notes that "It has been generally recognised that the most important implied term in the employment contract is the implied term of mutual trust and confidence."4 Accordingly it makes sense to examine the development of this term in some detail.
It is worth noting that this implied term arose for a very specific purpose. Davies comments: "It is generally accepted that its development was prompted by the decision in Western Excavating to adopt a contractual test for constructive dismissal."5 Davies also goes on to point out that the court in Western6 deliberately tried to limit the application of the term by expressly ruling out a general obligation of reasonable behaviour on employers.7 19 years later, what had begun in Western as aid to help courts determine whether someone had been constructively dismissed had become a duty upon employers to be implied into all employment contracts. This change was brought about by the House of Lords in Malik v Bank of Credit & Commerce International8 (BCCI). Lord Nicholls defined the term as being that an employer "would not...conduct itself in a manner likely to destroy or seriously damage the relationship of confidence and trust between employer and employee."9 In Malik two former employees contended successfully that BCCI had by carrying out dishonest and illegal business practices for which it gained widespread notoriety, breached this implied term. The House of Lords further found that an employer's trust-destroying conduct did not necessarily have to be targeted at any particular employee.10 Malik was a significant milestone in the development of implied terms because as Woodford comments, "The extent of the duty is potentially limitless."11 Unsurprisingly therefore use of this term as developed across a wide range of situations. For example in French v Barclays Bank plc12 an employee was provided with a bridging loan to help him relocate to another part of the country. However, Barclays then withdrew the loan which had the effect of forcing him to sell his house at a lower value than expected. The Court of Appeal held that the duty had been breached by Barclays altering the arrangement after the employee had relied upon it. In TSB Bank v. Harris13 the Employment Appeal Tribunal held that mutual trust and confidence had been breached by the TSB giving a reference for Harris which detailed complaints made against her but which had never been drawn to her attention while she worked at the bank. Moreover, an employee does not have to demonstrate that an employer intended a repudiatory breach of contract. For example in BG plc v. O'Brien14 it was held instead that an "Employment Tribunal must look at the employer's conduct as a whole and decide reasonably and sensibly that the employee could not be expected to put up with it."15
However the development of this term cannot be seen as a simple process of employees increasing their legal rights against their employers. This is because employers have also litigated to expand the use of this term against employees. As Smith comments: "One area of controversy in modern employment law is whether (and if so, to what extent) an employer should be able to justify dismissal on the ground that it has lost trust and confidence in the employee."16 For Smith, this development is going too far: "what it really involves is reversing the implied term of trust and confidence on to the employee, whereas its true nature is as an implied term on the employer (and its true home constructive dismissal)."17 An example of a dismissal upon the basis of a breach of this term being upheld is Williams v Leeds United Football Club.18 In Williams the employee was dismissed for using his "work email to send a junior female employee an email with an attachment containing a number of obscene and pornographic photographs."19 Lewis J upheld Williams' dismissal even though Leeds United's internet policy did not appear to provide for this outcome. Commenting on the case Salter & Bryden noted "the internet policy itself referred to such matters as being "serious disciplinary matters" which should therefore be treated as "serious" not "gross" misconduct, for which summary dismissal should rarely be a sanction."20 Lewis J did not accept this argument saying "The sending by a senior manager of obscene and pornographic images...is simply not compatible, viewed objectively, with the role that the Claimant was employed to carry out at the Club."21
In another development, Wragg argues that employers are using this term to restrict employees' use of social media and considers this a serious attack on freedom of speech22 and argues that courts and tribunals are not robust enough in protecting employees' rights in this area. In his article he is concerned that employees are being punished for statements made outside of the workplace and not using an employer's IT system: "an employer might argue that the behaviour amounted to a significant breach of the implied term of mutual trust and confidence because...the conduct brought them into disrepute. Yet whether the level of harm required by the court/tribunal to satisfy this claim is sufficiently high enough to recognise an employee's right to free expression is debatable."23 He cites the case of Gosden v Lifeline Project Ltd24 in which the Employment Tribunal found that sending an offensive email from a home computer on a private account could still be sufficient to breach this implied duty even though the employer had not been able to demonstrate how its reputation had been damaged by this act.
Very closely intertwined with the development of the law on mutual trust and confidence is the development of an implied term to provide information - particularly where the economic situation of an employee is concerned. In Scally v Southern Health and Social Services Board25 junior doctors had complained that they had not been made aware of a time-limited provision to pay extra into the pension scheme in order to receive a larger final pension. The House of Lords held that when an "employee cannot, in all the circumstances, reasonably be expected to be aware of the term unless it is drawn to his attention...I take the view that it is not merely reasonable, but necessary...to imply an obligation on the employer to take reasonable steps to bring the term of the contract in question to the employee's attention."26 However, subsequent case law has yet to develop this term into a more widely applicable duty to provide information. In University of Nottingham v Eyett27 the High Court considered whether an employer was under a duty to advise an employee if his choice of retirement date would have negative financial consequences. In that case an employee had discovered that had he waited one further month to retire, he would have been significantly better off. Hart J decided that no such duty could be implied and noted that "the recognition of such a duty has potentially far reaching consequences for the employment relationship. A degree of caution is therefore required."28 The Court of Appeal took the same approach in Outram v Academy Plastics29 where Tuckey LJ held that there was no general duty upon employers to provide advice to employees about their company pension.
Other implied terms have not developed been developed as widely - for example the implied duty upon employers to pay the employee. At first blush this term would appear to be significant as it touches upon the very reason why people wish to work in the first place. However Holland & Burnett note that this is area is significantly covered by statute. For example the Employment Rights Act 1996 Part II governs how employers may make pay deductions and the National Minimum Wage Act 1998 helps to prevent very low levels of pay. Discriminatory pay scheme are outlawed by the Equality Act 2010.30 Where issues of pay are not covered by statute, the courts have not been willing to extend this term to fill the gap. A good example of this is the issue of sick pay: in the absence of an express term, is there an implied term for sick pay in an employment contract? In Mears v Safecar Security Ltd31 the Court of Appeal held that there should be no presumption either way and that each case would turn on its own facts. Accordingly this particular implied term cannot be said to be particularly effective in filling in gaps in statutory coverage or in the employment contract itself. However the courts have been prepared to rely on this implied term in specific cases where there is not an issue of extending a general principle. This particularly seems to have been the case when disputes about share options have arisen. Holland and Burnett give the example32 of Levett v Biotrace International33 in which an employee had been denied his right to purchase shares in the company having been dismissed. The Court of Appeal held that as he had been dismissed in breach of the company's disciplinary procedure he was still entitled to exercise this option and that the employee had effectively relied on their own breach of contract to deny him this option. Another example is Mallone v BPB Industries plc34 in which the court ruled that if a share purchase scheme was worded to give the employer absolute discretion on dismissal to reduce any share option available to an employee that did not entitle the employer to reduce it to nil.
So in the development of the law of implied terms we can see contrasting forces operating. From the above we can see that use of the implied term of trust and confidence has clearly expanded since its inception in Western. Woodford notes this development with concern saying, "Recent cases have pushed the boundaries of this duty, applying it to a myriad of different employment situations."35 However, moving against this development is a clear desire from the judiciary to try and limit this development from creating further implied terms. For example the decision in Scalley on the provision of information was not allowed to develop in a completely new duty to provide information - as was demonstrated by the decisions in Eyett and Outram. In addition the courts have steadfastly maintained the limitation set up in Western that there should be no general obligation of reasonableness upon employers. For example Davies compares the approach of the judiciary in employment law cases against their approach in public law cases.36 He notes that despite there being a greater statutory basis for the use of reasonableness tests in employment law than in public law, "the courts seem determined to construe and apply the relevant statutory provisions in a way that limits their role."37 This caution is also demonstrated by the courts' treatment of the implied duty to pay. Whereas courts have been prepared to rely on this term to resolve problems with specific share option cases (e.g. Levett and Mallone) they have been unwilling to extend the implied duty to pay to any kind of general duty to pay sick pay as was shown by the case of Mears.
Other contrasting forces in this development are the balance of duties upon the employer on one hand and the employee on the other. We have seen that Middlemiss sees the role of implied terms in levelling the playing field between employer and employee whereas Woodford regards them as an ever expanding set of obligations upon the employer. In this area of development it would seem that implied terms still place more duties on the employee rather than the employer. As has been shown above, the duty of mutual trust and confidence has been held to apply to the employee as much as the employer. Moreover some implied terms are simply not reciprocal. For example there is an implied duty to take care of an employer's property but "Interestingly there is no corresponding duty placed on the employer to safeguard the employee's property."38 Finally it is important to note that regardless of ongoing developments, implied terms still operate within the standard principles of contract law. This means that although they have the same force as express terms, they will cease to be effective if there is an express term to the contrary. Moreover courts and tribunals will use them simply to make the contract work - not to make it reasonable.39 Although implied terms can be effective in curtailing the worst behaviour of employers, they will inevitably fall short against express terms. As contracts will almost always be written by the employer the balance of power will lie with them rather than employees and the development of implied terms has not fundamentally changed where power lies in the employer/employee relationship.

The Problem With Contraband Days – [UPDATE]
The annual Louisiana Pirate Festival means different things to different people. And that's a problem.
The annual Louisiana Pirate Festival means different things to different people. And that's a problem.
On May 4, 1975, The King of Rock 'n' Roll landed in Lake Charles, La., for two sold-out shows at the Civic Center during Contraband Days. For some Lake Charles residents, it's still the biggest show that ever rocked the lake.
Contraband Days 2013 is in full swing and is located on the Lake Charles Civic Center Grounds.
The festival started on Tuesday April 30th and will end this Sunday May 12th, 2013. Today, Cajun music will reign supreme featuring a all-star lineup of bands.
Update 8:30 a.m.-- All the concerts have been moved to inside the Civic Center Coliseum due to the threat of rain.
Jean Lafitte and his band of pirates will take over the city of Lake Charles tonight. They will force Lake Charles Mayor Randy Roach and other local area Mayors to walk the plank and it will mark the start of the two week festival known as Contraband Days.
The festival takes place in downtown Lake Charles on the Civic Center grounds with carnival rides, food, events and entertainment.
Contraband Days 2013 kicks off this week and will go for two full weeks in Lake Charles. Contraband Days is located on the Lake Charles Civic Center Grounds.
The festival runs from Tuesday April 30th through Sunday May 12th, 2013. The Cajun music day will be on Saturday, May 13th featuring a all-star lineup of bands.
New events are being added to the Contraband Days line up this year. With that in mind, we were wondering if you miss some of the events that no longer are part of the festival....
The 56th annual Contraband Days will kick off Tuesday, April 30, and will include a new event called Spike 'n' Splash.
There was a time when Contraband days drew close to a half a million people over it's two week run in late April/ early May. The draw is not as big anymore. The...
If you did not get a pair of the 7,900 tickets that were given out for the Joshua Ledet concert at the Burton Coliseum, you can still see it and hear it LIVE.
Because of the demand, the concert will be simulcast live inside the Lake Charles Civic Center coliseum at Contraband Days and broadcast live on our sister station, 107 JAMZ. Here is all the info.
As we reported yesterday, there's a better-than-even chance that 'American Idol' star Joshua Ledet will be returning to town on Saturday like the conquering hero he's become. First, he's here in our studios, then a parade, then a live performance at Burton Coliseum.
Contraband Days is here and a lot of thrill seeking folks will head out to the carnival to get on those fun but scary rides. We want to know which ride is your favorite?
Contraband Days is right around the corner. The festival starts Tuesday May 1st and runs through May 13th, 2012.
Contraband Days have announced the schedule for water events and we wanted to pass the schedule of events along to you.

An odd pulling feeling in left knee when squatting and standing
June 08, 2011, 09:33:16 PM »
Hello, I hope you may be able to help me with this. I am unsure whether or not this was from my car accident march 5th, 2011, but I notice when squatting down and remaining down that when I goto stand up, I feel a weird sensation in my knee. It is not painful, but it feels like something is pulling, or a twinge if you would call it that? Like while standing up the motion to stand up my left knee I feel what more or less feels like a tendon maybe pulling or my knee cap going over a tendon making a pulling sensation. I cannot tell if it is in the inside of the left leg area that is beside the knee, or if it is behind the knee. It doesn't bother me but I do notice that when I squat down, and then stand back up, I am putting a good majority of my weight on my right leg when doing so, and every time I squat and stand back up I feel this twinge feeling, it is exactly that. It just makes me worried because I used to play a lot of basketball, and throughout college I have been way unphysical to say the least. So basically, I want to know if I am not experiencing any pain but a funny twinge feeling in the knee when standing up, note that it doesn't do this when squatting down, its only when I go to stand up, sort of feel not a poping sensation but like a say a pulling sensation or a twinge every time at the same time when standing back up. My knees used to crunch and pop around a lot but that would have some pain associated with it but never anything that has felt funny while doing the standing back up from squatting.. Note it has to be a full head to toe squat, if I am sitting down and stand up it does not do it, its only when I have the back side of my bum basically touching my back of my feet type of squat, so full compression of the knee, then when standing up that is when I feel the feeling, I am unsure whether to be worried or not, so I would ask on here maybe if anyone has had something similar. Thanks

Is this normal? I have always had crunching, snapping, and what not in my knees... I just figured its the joints releasing pressure, similar to cracking knuckles. I know that the squatting doesn't make pain, but a funny twinge in my left knee.
I do notice sometimes having what feels like a soreness on the front inside of the knee cap, and sort of off to the right side of the left knee not directly to the right but feels like its either the front of the knee, or the front off to the left a little bit, I have had one instance I can recall which was difficult to bear weight on the left knee, but that eventually settled down and my knee became usable again. I am unsure if stability is a matter here because I never have my knees 'give out' as other people describe, or lock up as some have described.
Hope that may help out. I do sort of walk like a duck though its difficult with my calfs to have my legs be straight all the time.
But the twinge like feeling of almost a tendon sensation being pulled as if its not quite in the right spot or something I am unsure, it doesn't bother me pain wise, but I do notice the feeling, I just do not want to make it worse if there is any one who have anything similar I would appreciate hearing.

If it worries you, I'd make an appointment to see your doctor or a physio - what country are you in, you may or may not need a referral for PT. It sounds like you should get your gait looked at, you may need orthotics for your shoes or something
They will be far more qualified to assess your own situation hands on than us online with our own dodgy knees , all of us have different issues
Normally, if it not painful or restrictive, then it is probably not too urgent.
Good luck

It sounds lie you may have "patella syndrome". Have an x-ray taken on the area and see if you have a small bean shaped bone which is catching on your ligament or tendon. I have this bone and it never bothered me until I had a knee operation! Now whenever I walk (straighten my legfrom the flex position as I ambulate) I get this pulling sensation which is actually painfol. I'm told the patella bone is rare--about 2% of population have it.

Time was when zaari-sarees formed an essential part of every bride's trousseau. Brightly coloured silk sarees with patterns woven in gold thread. Not gold coloured thread; but thread made by drawing pure gold into wire so thin it was almost as pliable as silk.
Zaari-sarees were precious, because they were so rare.
And then gold-coloured synthetic threads came into the picture. Though purists would have nothing to do with it, you could get rip-offs of zaari-sarees at a fraction of the cost. Anyone could afford 'zaari'.
Any wonder that the modern bride prefers Swarovski crystals embroidered into her bridal ensemble?!
There are words, and there are words. Some words can be easily translated, others need to be described. In April, I'll attempt to capture the Soul of 26 'Indian' words in a drabble of exactly 100 words.

For clients and friends of Jackson Kelly PLLC
Volume 6, Number 11
©2010 Jackson Kelly PLLC
On April 22, 2010, Dr. David Michaels, Assistant Secretary of Labor for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, issued a memorandum to all Regional Administrators regarding "administrative enhancements" to OSHA's penalty policies. The administrative enhancements will become effective over the next several months. Dr. Michaels estimates that the average penalty for a serious violation will increase from approximately $1,000 to an average of $3,000 to $4,000. These changes are establishing general agency policy and do not preclude the agency from assessing a different penalty where appropriate. The changes include:
• The time period for considering an employer's history of violations will expand from three years to five years. An employer who has been inspected by OSHA within the previous five years, and has no serious, willful, repeat, or failure to abate violations, will receive a 10% reduction for history. On the other hand, an employer that has been cited by OSHA for any high gravity, serious, willful, repeat, or failure to abate violation within the previous five years will receive a 10% increase in its penalties up to the statutory maximum. • The time period for repeat violations will be increased from three years to five years. • Area Directors are authorized to offer up to a 30% penalty reduction to employers at an informal conference. Any reduction over 30% will have to be approved by the Regional Administrator. Area Directors will also be authorized to offer an employer with 250 or fewer employees an additional 20% reduction if that employer agrees to retain an outside safety and health consultant. • High gravity, serious violations related to the standards identified in the recent Severe Violator Enforcement Program ("SVEP") will no longer need to be grouped or combined but can be cited as separate violations, each with its own proposed penalty. • OSHA will be adopting a gravity-based penalty determination that provides for a gravity-based penalty between $3,000 and $5,000. • OSHA is adopting a new penalty reduction structure for the size of the employer. Penalty reductions are available for employers with less than 250 employees. No size reduction will be applied for employers with 251 or more employees. • The 15% "quick fix reduction," which is allowed as an abatement incentive program meant to encourage employers to immediately abate hazards found during an inspection, will be retained. However, the 10% reduction for employers with a Strategic Partnership Agreement will be eliminated. • The minimum proposed penalty for a serious violation will be increased to $500. • Final penalties will be calculated serially, unlike the present practice in which all of the penalty reductions are added and then the total percentage is multiplied by the gravity-based penalty to arrive at the proposed penalty. For example, the penalty adjustment factors are applied in the order of history, good faith, quick fix, and size. The reductions are taken separately instead of being summed together for one overall penalty reduction. This change can result in a penalty increase of approximately 50%.
Sample Data Summed Serially High/Lesser $5,000 $5,000 History (10%) $4,500 – 10% Good Faith (15%) $3,825 – 15% Quick Fix (15%) $3,251 – 15% Size (30%) 10% + 15% + 15% + 30% = 70% $2,275 – 30% Result $1,500 $2,275 No proposed penalty can exceed the statutory limits as such change would require rulemaking. However, these policy changes can increase current proposed penalties by almost 50% for all violations being issued.

Hot Fusion: L'Arbre de la Vie's Jeff Kuo and Joy Pan infuse California cuisine with Asian accents and bistro traditions.
Restaurateurs import their favorite meals at bistro prices
By Andrew X. Pham
SOME PEOPLE TRY to re-create at home the dishes they've enjoyed in restaurants while vacationing abroad. Jeff Kuo and Joy Pan went one leap further: They took a plunge into the restaurant business, replicating creative food at bistro prices--a difficult and courageous act by any measure.
Originally from Taiwan, the couple realized their dream in a modest Mountain View strip mall, creating an attractive dining cove that reflects a taste for the contemporary elegance of dark cherry-wood paneling, fine upholstery and a diverse collection of period paintings, all muted like a law office. Every spotless detail from the votive candle holders to the smoky-green water glasses to the stylish stereo tells of the care they invested.
The establishment's gems are obscured by a host of contradictions. First, the restaurant claims to serve California cuisine, which it doesn't--at least not in the tradition of Chez Panisse. Second, its friendly but inexperienced service staff simply does no justice to the food and the refined atmosphere.
Last, the short wine list, while smartly composed with an eye for value, is weak because it relies almost entirely on California vintages. Yet outweighing those complaints are unique creations not available anywhere else in the South Bay.
The menu's heavily favored Asian accents--evident in such dishes as spring rolls with sesame seed sauce, teriyaki bluenose, Szechwan cod and miso-sake sea bass--are balanced by cioppino, salmon hollandaise, chicken with tomato basil and pasta dishes.
We started our meals with smoked salmon ($6.50) layered between crunchy shingles of wonton pastry. A startling combination--berry sauce fringed with sinus-shocking wasabi--ringed the ensemble to produce pleasing, novel flavors. Next came a delicious oyster canapé ($7.95), which was a cheese-capped cushion of diced oyster, shiitake mushroom and basil tossed in a faintly sweet-and-salty black bean sauce, all loaded on a too-crunchy piece of toast.
Surprisingly hearty, our soups, a French onion and a Russian oxtail ($2.50 each with entree), hit the spot with finesse. Presented in an ornate terrine topped with the thinnest veil of baked Gruyere cheese, the onion soup seemed well balanced. Bits of French bread thickened the broth, adding body. Equally good, the oxtail soup was a heartwarming bowl chockful of parsley- and bay-leaf-infused vegetables.
All fusion chefs stumble at one time or another. Here, it was in the case of spicy lobster tails ($20.50). As presented, the hot chile sauce--distinctly of Chinese origin--overwhelmed the asparagus and the pineapple potato salad, which in our view was strictly ornamentation. The spicy sauce needed to be banked by some serious starch, perhaps lotus-infused rice. The pair of lobster tails (four ounces each) were panned to perfection, as tender and luscious as lobster should be.
One of the restaurant's heavy favorites, grilled sea bass ($17.75), came in the company of rice pilaf. Despite an annoying profusion of bones, our generous filet captivated us with sensuous petals of white, flaky meat. A light coat of miso, a drizzling of sake and some time on the grill conspired to produce an unusually rich flavor reminiscent of pistachios.
Dessert definitely constituted the weak end of the menu. The crème caramel ($3) was decent, but nothing extraordinary. However, we were able to coast through the finale with smooth cups of Santos coffee ($2.75).
What Joy Pan and Jeff Kuo have done is to bring home their culinary postcards and share them with the South Bay--a bold and delicious statement worth sampling.

"I didn't scratch my ticket until I pulled into the parking lot at work," said Schultz. "I could hardly believe what I was seeing. I immediately called my husband Dave, and of course, he didn't believe me."
After sitting in her car for a few minutes in disbelief, Schultz made it into work where she showed her boss the winning ticket.
"My boss and coworkers were very excited for me," said Schultz. "I didn't know what to do with the ticket, so my boss suggested I should have it checked. She knew I wasn't going to be able to concentrate on my job if I wasn't 100 percent sure I had a winning ticket."
Taking her boss's advice, the lucky winner decided to take her winning ticket back to the store where she purchased it and have it verified.
"I always stop at this store and feel comfortable with the clerks," said Schultz. "When one of them told me I had to claim my prize at the Lottery, I knew without a doubt I had won a top prize."
After signing the back of her winning ticket, Schultz kept it in her back pocket until it was time for her to leave work. Once she was at home, she found a special hiding place for the winning ticket until she could make the trip to Topeka to claim her prize.
Schultz, who works for Lowen Sign Company in Hutchinson, has been married to Dave Schultz for 30 years. They have two grown children and three grandchildren. They were undecided how they would spend their winnings.
"We haven't had much time to decide what we're going to do with the money," said Schultz. "We'll probably pay a few bills and possibly buy a new computer."
The winning ticket was purchased at Kwik Shop 765, located at 434 E.17th Ave. in Hutchinson.

Definitely jealous. I'm still waiting on funds to come in for my AR purchase.
You are the second person I know who has purchased a Carbon 15; guess it must be a good brand or something. :)You know the cool thing about ARs?
You can get .50 bmg uppers for them, and since the upper ain't the serialized part, you can order it through the mail.
Just sayin'.

I'm doing the 'on my own' homeschooling thing for the first year after being a slave to K12 through the public school for a year, and I'm planning to loosely base our math on the Saxon 7/6 textbook.
I want to know what exactly my daughter needs the most help on so we can really focus on that and master the concepts before she hits algebra and beyond in the HS years.
Any suggestions on a math placement or skills assessment test?
Any other suggestions for me re: Math and a 7th grader? She's always scored 95% and higher on her state assessments, but I want to make sure she's ready for the higher level stuff.
Placement and HS prep for 7th grader
Moderators: Bob Hazen, Theodore, elliemaejune
I think Saxon has a placement test you can take for free on their site, or at least they used to. I tried Saxon and my kids hated it. I ended up using Abeka and SOS until Alg 1 and then switched to MUS DVD's after Pre-alg because I am awful at Geometry and I know that about myself. So all our high school math is taught by DVD.

There may be a frisson of horror in vice-chancellor circles at the latest initiative from Goldsmiths College. The south London university has become the first in the country to permit a student representative to sit in on the body that determines the university vice-chancellor's pay.
Goldsmiths, of course, is not a serial offender in the controversy over vice-chancellors' pay but its initiative has been seized upon by the University and College Union (UCU), which is unsurprisingly suggesting that all the others follow suit.
At present, four-fifths of UK universities refuse even to release the minutes of their remuneration committee – which determines vice-chancellor pay. Only hard work by media outlets such as the Times Higher Education magazine keeps the higher- education world abreast of their deliberations.
With pension payments, the average vice-chancellor's remuneration now comes to £254,692 – a 5.5 per cent rise on the previous year, while their minions received only a 1 per cent rise.
"Goldsmiths should be applauded for its move towards greater transparency," said Sally Hunt, the general secretary of the UCU. "We hope there will also be a staff representative invited to probe the boss's pay rise and that other universities will follow suit."
Laudable sentiments, Sally, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.
John Claughton won recognition last week for his efforts as head of King Edward's boys' school in Birmingham to ensure that it aimed for pole position in terms of the private school making the most effort to raise money to fund places for disadvantaged pupils.
What we did not reveal then is that his drive has also earned him a name-check in a top-selling crime thriller. One of the former alumni he persuaded to part with cash was Lee Child, the author of the Jack Reacher detective series.
As a quid pro quo, Child has now named one of his characters John Claughton. Don't worry – it's not a serial killer. Just a motel owner in downtown USA.

The presidents of the American Meteorological Society and the American Geophysical Union have joined the growing chorus of scientists who are criticizing Rep. Joe Barton's (R-TX) apparent attempt to intimidate scientists who have linked human activities to global warming.
In a letter to Barton, the presidents of the usually apolitical groups note that "the request of your committee for massive documentation from a few scientists about a small aspect of their work has been viewed by many as more intimidating than constructive. Your request has also been interpreted as an attack on particular scientific results. The prospect for scientists of defending unpopular results in a political arena rather than before their "peers" in the literature has the potential to undermine the scientific process and, if persistent, to produce tainted results."
Here is the full letter:
