Bloomberg acusada de espionagem em Wall Street
O terminal da Bloomberg consiste em um sistema de computador que fornece informações atualizadas do mercado financeiro. Ele é usado por praticamente todas as firmas de investimento no mundo e custa US$ 20 mil por ano por cada usuário.
O Goldman Sachs alertou que jornalistas da Bloomberg poderiam estar usando os terminais da agência para monitorar Wall Street. O assunto foi levado a uma reunião envolvendo os principais executivos do banco com representantes da empresa de comunicação, informou nesta sexta-feira o New York Post.
De acordo com uma fonte do Goldman Sachs, a suspeita surgiu após um repórter da Bloomberg perguntar se um funcionário havia deixado o banco, pois ele não estava mais consultando o terminal. A notícia alertou altos executivos, preocupados com a privacidade das transações e das estratégias de negócios.
Basicamente, você pode ver quantas vezes alguém olhou as notícias ou se ela usou a função de mensagens. Isso nos fez pensar: o que mais a Bloomberg pode acessar? disse a fonte.
Um porta-voz da do Goldman Sachs confirmou que o banco está tomando medidas para resolver a questão. Por sua vez, a Bloomberg informou que o acesso aos dados de login aos repórteres é um resquício dos anos 1990, quando jornalistas também atuavam nas vendas. Nenhum repórter foi demitido no caso.
Os dados de relacionamento com o cliente estão disponíveis aos nossos jornalistas há muito tempo, mas nunca incluíram dados de segurança, posição, trocas ou mensagens disse a porta-voz da Bloomberg Ty Trippet. Com a preocupação, nós decidimos desativar o acesso dos jornalistas às informações de relacionamento para todos os clientes.
Mesmo após a declaração da Bloomberg, alguns funcionários do banco ainda estão céticos sobre as informações que podem ser captadas com o uso dos terminais.

Big Bloomberg is watching youThe financial-news giant Bloomberg built its fortune and reputation on the combination of a voracious news-gathering outfit and a proprietary data-delivery system that has become an essential Wall Street tool. Now Bloomberg has put its reputation at risk by carelessly mixing the two.
According to news reports on Friday, journalists at Bloomberg News have been spying on some of the 315,000 customers that use the market-data terminals, sold by a separate unit of Bloomberg and the primary revenue source for the company. Those customers include Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase, whose traders and bankers are reportedly furious with Bloomberg for what they perceive as a violation of their privacy.
The New York Post on Friday broke the news of the controversy, reporting that Goldman Sachs had complained to Bloomberg about spying by its reporters.
Bloomberg said on Friday that it addressed the complaint within 24 hours. The company closed some of the windows its reporters had allegedly used to check up on customers' activities to find potential stories, which reportedly include the firm's scoop on JPMorgan's "London Whale" trading debacle.
But some Bloomberg employees, interviewed outside the company's glass-and-steel headquarters in midtown Manhattan Friday, said they were concerned about the damage the news could do to the firm's reputation.
"Its not good, said an employee who identified herself as working in marketing and asked that she not be named for this article. "You never want to show up in the paper for something like this."
Faisal Yaqoob, a programmer with the firm, said clients "were most upset that reporters were able to see the stats on what they did."
Bloomberg News reporters were able to access a few different kinds of data that are not available to other terminal users. These included the ability to see how often customers had logged onto terminals and the ability to track some of their activities. They could see how many times in a month a client had entered specific commands on a terminal to, for example, look at information about foreign currencies or pull up economic indicators.
With these tools, Bloomberg reporters could keep loose tabs on terminal users, which include government officials and high-profile investors and traders. Though the tools were limited, they were potentially useful enough to give reporters leads to news scoops -- the ultimate goal at an organization that prides itself on its news-breaking abilities.
Though Bloomberg's customer base on Wall Street seemed mostly to react to the news with calm and Twitter jokes, there were jitters nonetheless.
"At one level, it kind of bothers me, I guess, because, geez, I didn't know they were doing that," said David Ader, head of government-bond strategy at CRT Capital, a Bloomberg customer in Stamford, Conn. "And if you're looking at what senior executives or merger-and-acquisition guys are looking at, maybe that gives you insight into things that were never meant to be seen."
On Friday afternoon, Bloomberg CEO Dan Doctoroff sent an email to all of the firm's 15,000 employees to allay some of their concerns. Doctoroff announced that the company was appointing Steve Ross, currently Bloomberg's COO of the Core Terminal Business, to the newly created position of Client Data Compliance Officer.
"Although we have long made limited customer relationship data available to our journalists, we realize this was a mistake," Doctoroff said in the email, which noted that the customer data in question did not include specific trading or portfolio information.
"Client trust is our highest priority and the cornerstone of our business, and we are deeply committed to ensuring the complete integrity and confidentiality of our clients' data in all situations and at all times," Doctoroff wrote.
Though Bloomberg reporters did not go nearly as far as some News Corp. employees, who allegedly hacked phones and bribed officials to access private information for stories, their use of proprietary information seems to violate the trust Bloomberg's customers placed in it.
Several people interviewed said it was unlikely the snooping was mandated from top editors, but it was widely known.
Reporters were using it, said Yaqoob, the Bloomberg programmer. It was available.
Mr. Bloomberg founded Bloomberg L.P. in 1982 as a financial information company. The company had revenue of $7.9 billion in 2012 and its high speed, data-splicing terminals occupy a prominent spot on traders desks. Even though Bloomberg News has gained prominence, counting the weekly magazine Businessweek among its assets, about 85 percent of the companys revenue comes from its terminals. That business provides for generous employee perks, and cushions Mr. Bloombergs $27 billion fortune.

Who else can relate to this? We probably all can.
Make me a website because we are friends
Who else can relate to this? We probably all can.
Good thing I don't have friends. The bad thing is some people expect you to fix their computer-related stuff just because you can.
lol, I tried that once then he got carried away.. Everyday he wanted me to take care of his site for him..which is time consuming. So I put to stop to all that...It takes a lot of time just to up keep the site, update it, do the design aspect. Websites I charge now. If I make one that's public then everyone can use it but it's at my own pace and they have have to learn html/php/css on their own. Cute pic BTW
By the way I didn't make this animation. I forgot where I got it, but who cares cause that site is parked now.
Thanks for that great animation! I can totally relate!
What a coincidence! A friend of mine messaged me this morning and asked me to explain the concept behind domain names and webhosting.
I was trying my best to explain everything properly and clearly, but then again this friend of mine would ask and ask questions, to the point that all I had to say was, "ok, I'll design your website for you and get you a domain name!"--but of course, I didn't say that.
What I said was, "ok, I'll see what I can install for you on my extra space... and I'll show you later this week."
I'm really bad at saying no to friends...
I could have used that animation this morning... Oh well. *sigh*
Zug Zug
o.O kind of how I can make jewlery...and my sisters always ask me to make them some for free....even though the materials are costly. BTW that's an adorabl animation.
I have some crazy notion that half the people on this site aren't designers but are pretending to be such in order to fit in on this forum.
For shame, Frihosters, for creating such a society!
Captain Fertile
I don't think you have to be a designer to fit into this community - you just have to be honest!
Okay, I'll be honest:
I know nothing about designing websites except the basic stuff.
Threads like this make me very paranoid.
You don't have to be a designer. Just that fact that you are here for hosting, means that you know how to edit a template that might not even be yours. Still, that makes you superior from the rest of the population, and people might still ask you to make them a site, etc.
this post makes me scared to ever post a question again
i'm making my own site, installing some programs for a forum and such
though nothing i install seems to be willing to work
by what i read here, i shouldn't even bother asking for help?
i know there are lots of people who don't even bother to try but what of those who already have spend months trying, like me?
i'm not a designer, the only thing i know is the basic html
i think it's not really fair to consider all the peeps the same
right now i'm really considering to ask someone to help and install the things for me, pref setting the entire thing up
does that make me a bad person too?
think bout that for a change
not all ask for help cause they might be plain lazy, some ask cause they are desparate to make things work
sorry for this rant but this topic makes me feel like everybody who asking for help is actually taking advantage of the designers
What kind of forum? If it's Simple Machines, then you need to change all files permission to 777. Never be afraid to ask for help! BUT! Don't ask, could you create a forum for me.... Just do it..
Ask kindly and give information and never ask like that, ask:
anyone know a free, easy-to-use forum service?? or
I'm trying to install a forum, Simple Machines, I've uploaded all files but it says It can't create a database. What should I do?
That's a good point, actually.
However, there are two kinds of people "asking" for help: those who will take advantage of your kindness and abuse it, and those who are willing to learn from the experience [e.g. like your example].
This animation, I believe, addresses the first kind.
Help is a different thing. It means we can assist with any problems you encounter while trying to make your own site. But if you post "someone make me a site", it probably won't happen unless you cough up some $frih.
This reminds me of a shirt I bought from ThinkGeek.com: http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/frustrations/388b/
I work in IT. My friends and family all know it. I get asked at least once every week to fix something on someone's computer. Because I always fix them free, no questions asked, I got that shirt as a joke.
Phhhht! What a bunch of whiners! Try owning a pick up truck! Instead of sitting on your butt making websites for friends, you'll be moving them from apartment to apartment, picking up furniture, hauling mulch, just moving anything that they can't fit in their subcompacts!
But, hey, they are friends and you do what you can. I figure they got complaints about me, too.
I will try to help whether I'm right or wrong ;o)
Not an expert, Never said I was. But more hands on experience.
I don't know the definitions but usually (usually I can find the problem and fix it right away (Hands On Offline) online it's difficult for me.
I have no experience in computers (School Wise)
I've just been self taught and been doing rebuilding for the past couple of years. I would say more then over 5 years
Same goes with editing websites, banners , logos, mysql, php, cgi
Not a programmer so I can't write it. I can edit it the technical aspects of the database, CGI, PHP, HTML,HTM
Yes, I work, so no, I don't have all day to spend on it
I'm in and out of town like the wind.
S*cks, tonight is my last night until Wed.
I admit it, I don't know squat about HTML... I used Frontpage to make my website, lol XD
Good anim, there. But as soon as the designer guy asked what the other guy did for a living I saw what was coming next.
hey i thought its somekinda request ...
hahahah but that's really funny
good job...
I can definatly! i'm waiting on making a website for a band, i did there t-shirt/hoody and logo all for free! most of you probably will call me nuts but hey i am (i'm not the brightest spark in the box )
fred frituurvet
lol a free car for making a website would be nice
my poor site was shutted down because of my minus points, before this my site was loaded so slowly because there are many high quality bg pictures,
I can so relate to this one - I own a pickup and am a computer geek and have a strong back, so I can hit up for both "can you pick this up for me" and "i have this computer problem."
I finally told one friend when she called for computer help for the upmteenth time - no more. Go pay someone for the help!
i was into making websites a while ago but got burned by a 'friend' who I did a paid website for very cheaply as she was a 'friend' - not a friend anymore as she accused me of saying I would publish her sites to the different search engines and do that type of marketing for her. I also designed a website for someone who would send me pages to post, then a few days later email me to pull the pages or changes them as there were mistakes on the pages. Finally I told her, no more.
Hey hobbit can you make me my site now?
I tried this one time making a website for a friend and it was the worse mistake ever as I was getting called like daily for issues or "How do I do this?" I'll never do it again
Haha, that's great, i can relate to it in a way, i've been in that situation once or twice, just got to basically tell them to get stuffed
I didn't even notice the animation... thats great
I have no problem helping a friend with thier website....as long as they are actually trying to do it on thier own. What irks me is the people who want a free site made from scratch that serves no purpose other than for them to be able to say "I have a website", and they have no idea what they want to put on it.
That's trully annoying....to me anyway.
yes i agree with you max. I am the same way. I'll help someoen if they want help and are going to actually do something with there site.
I'll either help someone--they do it mostly by themselves and ask me when they need help, but I don't actually do any coding--or I do it myself.
Quite often, I will get frustrated with someone wanting me to code their stuff, and I will either take over entirely and kick them out of the "driver's seat", so to speak. It's more irritating trying to code with someone else in the computer chair...
I like coding myself. I learn by doing it, and that's why I force other to code their own stuff--they need to learn what they're doing.
I have ended up setting up more than one wireless router in our neighborhood, though. The neighbors wouldn't let me turn on encryption, and so I have no idea who is connecting to their networks. I almost think it should be illegal to have an open access point...but then again I like freedom.
I am not a web-designer, but in software. I have experienced this, I know people who will not think twice before asking something like that.
But I take it in good sense, if I have the time and not much to spend - I do it for friends. After all they think I could do it and they think they could ask me for help and if I can I do it.
Not often but I have helped my friend in a similar situation.
And then, there are some very special friends with whom you do not think of money etc - so you do it for them.
Agreed. I have some friends who are not quite so "computer-literate" who needed help, and I have written things to help thier other interests, but in general if (most) people are not willing to help themselves, then they should hire someone to help them.
I'm not a greedy person, if someone is willing to work just a bit...I'll offer my time and experience to help them along...without any thought of compensation.
lol... that would be something to see... someone give a car and have someone else's name on it... think of the exposure
I get that all the time. Every one of my friends has approached me for a website. AARRGGHH. I have been giving them a steal of a deal when doing one for them because I have refused to do them for free. I have a real hard time billing and collecting from friends. I would just prefer they would use someone else. Leave me alone!
I spent the whole last summer making website and other projects concerning computer science for a friend I even wrote her a guide, a step by step but she didnt want to use it, it was easier for me to do it, right? Never again. I mean, Im glad a helped her, I was the one who offered a help but it was a very bad experience which started to grow into something much different than help. I want to help but not to do everything instead of you and that you even dont want to see how it looks like until the day of the exam came? What about my time?
Later she wanted me to do something else for her And I again agreed and stopped it when I realized shes using me Nothing for free anymore, whoever you are.
You seriously don't have friends?
Everyone needs friends...
raine dragon
yeah, I've been put in that situation quite a few times. The only thing worse then that, is group work at school. I had to repeat a basic HTML course because the one I took at the local college didn't transfer to my new school properly. and I thought it would be no big deal. Then suddenly we are doing long term group work and I'm stuck with 3 people who can't even make a basic link, who want me to just do the whole project...and not only that, they want all the bells and whistles. I must have put 60 hours into that stupid site; it was supposed to be a 5-hour project tops. x__x;
That one is pretty funny
Yeah, I have met the thing about "can't you make me a website, since we are friends?"
Mostly I end up doing it for nothing.
...to kind
Actually, once, there was some guys I know that wanted me to make them a site for their Counter Strike clan, and I spent a lot of time making them a design and some systems for posting messages, and things like that.
And when I finally was finished, they came and said they had changed their mind, and did not want a site
love the animation...i have to admit i have asked a friend before to do me a website not for free though, but looking back i do think i went overboard with all the questions. i was just excited on getting my site up eventually and curious on how it all worked. i used to have a site on msn where i used to host all my paintshop pro tutorials and to be honest coding the pages was really easy and since i have been using paintshop pro for nearly 6 years now making websets was a breeze for me too. after a year i decided to close the msn site down and go to the world wide web and i soon realized it was totally different, i felt very frustrated by it all and thats when i asked my friend for help. however i think my friend heaved a sigh of relief when i told her i will be going to college this year to learn web design
Lolz,, Hobbit that's a very smart graphic and dialogue by the way... And there is nothing called Free like Frihost... why should a car salesman gets his website for free when he is doing well with selling cars? A designer too earns money by making websites. I think both are smart but both deserve something too.
However, a good friend will gift a car to his good friend like a good friend would design a website for his good friend.
Ha! Thats me right on! Except, I make my own sites and I do a reasonable job of it at that, and I also know what to put on it...stuff!
Yeah I got it all worked out.
No really though, I understand this 95.42%. I get asked to make layouts sometimes, but I have a spine, I just tell them to "Keep on truckin'!", and then they punch me, and I look like a jerk, but hey, I got to make a 70's reference.
Did I ever tell you I love you? Can I have my car now?
From the insane ramblings collection.
Oh yes, i can definitely relate to that... I hate it when people try to do that to me...
No, no, don't think that! It's fine to ask questions. It's just not okay to ask somebody else to actually do the work FOR you without compensating them for their time and skill. That's not help, that's unpaid labor, and as you can tell by reading this thread, that makes web designers feel used and resentful.
That said, I personally ask for help all the time... I'm good at layout and graphic design, but my experience is in print, so I had to learn HTML and CSS. I'm still learning new stuff all the time; I only know the most basic bare bones about PHP right now, and I don't hesitate to yell for help if something doesn't work and I get stuck. But I'm still doing everything myself, including screwing things up! You don't want to know how many times I've broken WordPress trying to install plugins to customize it. However, I will tell you that I'm surprised the paint isn't blistered and peeling off the walls from the appalling profanity that has been uttered in the room where I'm sitting.
Is it only me or what? I can't view the animation there.
i never like doing sites for people. But good friends are an exception. I mean really close good friends, those which don't take you for granted, i'll help them whenever they need help.
Others I'd just tell them no in their faces.
It takes quite a long time to load.
I can definitely relate to the OP's statement. Now I don't ever admit to knowing anything about computers.
lol, Yeah it's ever happened.
My friends : Hey, you're good at computer, please fix my cell phone
me : WTF, cell phone? even I didn't have one, and you ask me to fix this one??? T___T
I think the picture is 100% incorrect, If you go to a page you think looks very nice, and you see somewhere, a link to who the website was made by, I go there to check out the persons other work, I do this on a lot of sites, and even phpbb themes.... and comparing it to a car is just kinda stupid, I love to help my friends out, and all they have to do is link back to me where they want.
Not when you stop to think that many corporations pay tens of thousands of dollars for their websites...and keep staff on hand to keep it updated. A car would have been cheaper for them.
thats true, but noone is going to make a site thats worth that kind of money for a friend...
haha that is so funny
and yeah i can relate to that!
THATS ME!!!! In the BLACK top. My friend did make me a web site. It was the 1st one is his portfolio. Then he did my Mums. Now he has got a professional job doing it, all because of the stuff he did with us. For FREE. You can see it a www.reubenwilliams.frih.net
I relate to the part where people ask you to fix their computer-related
stuff just cuz' you can.
At times, I hate knowing how to work things.
Hahaha, I can totally relate to that. Although i'm not as advanced as some of you i'm like the big fish in a small pond . First I started helping because I was learning how to do everything, then after a while they start piling more and more untill your basically running their site and they just own it. -,-
ROFL! That was hilarious!
And so true.

Is the device IP address something like 169.254.x.x ?
Are you using security, like WPA or WPA2? If so, which, and have you tried it with no security?
So I'm not having a problem with the cellular device, so this may not truly belong here as it may be more of a PC issue, but I figured if anyone else had a similar issue they would probably come to a Virgin mobile forum also.
I have the Overdrive Pro 3G/4G hotspot device, and it's working properly. For testing purposes, I have connected multiple wifi devices to it successfully, including my phone, my ipod touch, and several laptops from my office.
However my personal laptop simply won't work properly with it. The laptop (XP Pro, SP3) detects the hotspot fine and will connect to it, and will get an IP via DHCP. So far, so good. However the laptop can't ping the device, and obviously cant ping anything else on the Internet either. Nor can I access the device's web interface from the laptop. TCP/IP details look correct and similar to my other devices that connect and surf successfully.
I thought maybe there might be an issue that my particular wireless NIC (Atheros AR5007EG) may not be compatible with the hotspot device, but if that were the case, I dont think it would even see the device SSID, and/or get an IP address, which it is.
The hotspot device comes with software that lets you tether it to a PC via the included USB cable for connectivity also. This method does succeed in getting the laptop online, but I want the wifi method to work as well.
If I use another computer to web into the device, and list all currently connected wifi clients, it does show the problem laptop connected successfully. But still, the laptop cant ping the hotspot. This isn't making any sense to me, and I'm banging my head on the desk trying to resolve this.
Just curious if anyone has any ideas Im not thinking of. Thanks!

Is the device IP address something like 169.254.x.x ?
Are you using security, like WPA or WPA2? If so, which, and have you tried it with no security?
It always gets all the proper TCP/IP details for a 192.168.0.*/24 LAN.
I hadnt thought to try disabling security. The device only does WPA2-AES or no security. When I try it with no security the laptop can then ping the device and the Internet fine. Switching back to WPA2 it again cannot. So it's something to do the way the device uses WPA2. The OCD is me wants to know more about why, but the fact that I can connect without security is an okay workaround for me.
I can configure the device to only use a short range signal, as well as an audible beep any time a new wireless client connects. These put my mind at ease that no one else will be riding my signal. Plus I always turn the device off when not in use anyway.
Thanks, good call.
Is your laptop running Windows XP? If so, have you installed this patch?
Good call. It is XP, and I did have that update already (apparently included in SP 2 or 3). But I can live with this now. I'm finding it's rare that I ever use it untethered with the laptop anyway. Or I could pick up a cheap USB WNIC and see if that connects any better. Thanks for the 2nd set of eyes!

Senate GOP proposes billions in new spending as Majority adopts difficult but responsible budget
Aubertine and Valesky Speak Out Against Further Increases in Spending
(Albany, NY) Seventeen hostile amendments proposed by Senate Republicans would increase spending and put New York State in an $8 billion hole, all while violating their own proposed constitutional amendment.
The amendments would increase spending by more than $2.2 billion and leave the state short on revenue by close to $6 billion. Simultaneously, the minority conference proposed a constitutional amendment that would implement a spending cap over inflation, which would be violated by their other amendments. In fact, 20 of the last 27 spending plans passed when the Republican majority when they controlled the Senate would also have violated their amendment.
Republican proponents of such spending practices fail to recognize that the State is grappling with more than a $17 billion budget deficit. It was not indicated in any of their 17 hostile amendments how any of these budgetary increases would be paid for and suggestions on the Senate floor have centered on accounts that are unfunded and sections of law that either do not exist or have expired.
"These proposals that Senate Republicans have introduced are irresponsible political posturing. Perhaps they are unaware that we are in the midst of the one of the greatest economic crisis in modern history," said Senator David J. Valesky (D-Oneida). "It's a shame that at this time of necessary fiscal prudence, wherein every dollar spent must have a benefit to the taxpayer, some don't seem to understand the direness of the time's were in. We closed a $17 billion dollar budget gap that was growing by the day and are passing a budget that will produce 86,000 new jobs, more than half of which can be Upstate. But instead of joining us to make this budget better, Senate Republicans unanimously worked to make this budget bigger."
Senator Darrel J. Aubertine (D-Cape Vincent) said, "This business-as-usual approach is out of touch with the reality that we face. The so-called alternatives would put our state in a bigger hole. The same members who have proposed creating a new $8 billion budget gap oversaw an era of tremendous job loss in Upstate New York. Do they expect this state to do the same thing over and over again, but get different results? The numbers appear to be irrelevant to them. It's a blatant example of putting politics ahead of the needs of our state."
Senate Republican hostile amendments brought to the floor yesterday and today, would have left New York's State Financial Plan reeling with a gap of over $8 billion dollars above what was enacted. In their amendments, there is not a single revenue action or explanation for how these actions would be paid for. Even their revenue reduction amendments lacked details for how that gap would be filled.
Senate Republican amendments include:
Bill Number Budget Bill Subject $ Impact (in millions)
1 ELFA SED Support 14.4
2 ELFA Tuition Revenue 229.3
3 TEDE Ag & Markets 34.4
4 PPGG Prison Closure 26.3
5 PPGG Rockefeller Reform 23.5
6 ELFA Education 36.0
7 ELFA Higher Education 20.5
8 ELFA Spending Cap -
9 ELFA STAR Rebate 1,600.
11 ELFA Empire Zone Reform 245.
12 TEDE Revenue Bill 5,000.
13 ELFA Contract for Excellence -
14 HMH Health 240.3
16 TEDE Bottle Bill 87.7
17 ELFA PIT 4,000. *included in #12
"The floor has fallen out from under our economy and Senate Republicans want more of the same. In their zeal to increase spending, they have proposed funding their amendments with money they don't have, through sections of law that don't exist or have expired. That's not responsible legislating, and it's certainly not responsible budgeting," Senator Aubertine added.
"Good ideas aren't Democratic ones or Republican ones, but unfortunately only one side is actually coming up with ideas—the other apparently believes that 'no' is a plan. We're going to continue doing what needs to be done for Upstate, to protect taxpayers' investment in the federal stimulus and actually make sure that as many jobs are created as possible. The support of the other side of the aisle would be helpful, but we're going to do what needs to be done, and make the tough decisions regardless of their tendencies for obstructionism," Senator Valesky concluded.

YOUTH representatives from Melanesia and Polynesia attending a roundtable meeting, organised by the Pacific Islands Association of Non-Government Organisation, are being encouraged to specify objectives they want beyond 2015, at the expiration of the Millennium Development Goals.
About 12 youth representatives are part of the Rethinking Development and Reshaping the Pacific we want —beyond 2015 meeting in Nadi.
PIANGO executive director Emele Duituturaga said with the United Nations engaged in a process of deciding post-2015 goals for younger people, they were supporting youths to come forward as they make up the majority of the population in the Pacific.
Ms Duituturaga said youth unemployment and development were among the major challenges.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The semifinal round of 2014 Tennessee Titans Cheerleaders auditions presented by Sun Tan City recently gave the phrase "Selection Sunday" a whole new spin.
Approximately 200 ladies started the audition at Saint Thomas Sports Park, and by nightfall, 48 finalists remained. The finalists will compete for 27 spots on May 15 at Wildhorse Saloon (click here to purchase tickets).
"It was great to see a lot of new faces who were talented and beautiful," said Stacie Kinder, Titans director of cheerleading. "We had a great group come out, and now with the 48 finalists we have left, it's a wonderful group to choose from because all of them are qualified to be Titans Cheerleaders."
|Titans Season Ticket Member Susan Guffey, left, won a contest to help judge the semifinal round of 2014 Titans Cheerleader auditions presented by Sun Tan City.
Titans Season Ticket Member Susan Guffey won a contest to be a guest judge during the semifinal round. Titans Season Ticket Members were able to enter the contest by liking Titans Cheerleaders on Facebook or following @TitansCheers on Twitter. The entrants were asked to state why they should be chosen to judge.
Guffey, an administrative manager with Barge Waggoner Sumner & Cannon and charter Titans PSL holder, cheered collegiately at Western Carolina and judges competitions at the University of Tennessee.
"This has been totally overwhelming for me," Guffey said. "It's been so exciting, just when I walked in the facility. The facility is amazing. Yes, I've sat in LP Field on Sundays, but to be here in the "Bubble" (indoor practice facility) was very exciting."
Kinder said Guffey was "perfect" to help the panel of six other judges.
"She was awesome. She's an inaugural season-ticket holder and she's still a judge for UT-Knoxville, so she's totally qualified to do it and a huge fan, so everything put together made her the perfect person and she seemed so appreciative," Kinder said. "We were so appreciative to have her, and she conversely was so appreciative to be there, so she was a really great addition and fit right in with our panel."
Guffey's company worked on the construction of the facility now known as LP Field and she was at the groundbreaking. She vividly recalled the opening regular season game on Sept. 12, 1999 and other moments over the years. Guffey said she was proud to help the selection process of the 2014 Titans Cheerleaders.
"It will be even more special (to go to games this year) knowing that I had the opportunity to be a part of this experience and part of the ones that are chosen to be on the field," Guffey said.
Finalists will spend two-plus weeks rehearsing and undergo a formal business interview before the final round.

Part I: Prabhakaran's eastern challenger
Part II: Seeds of discontent
Since 2001, there have been indications ofĀdissatisfaction against Prabhakaran's leadership style not only in the east, but also in the north.
Vaithilingam Sornalingam alias Colonel Shankar, 52, a Prabhakaran loyalist, who was in charge of the LTTE's air wing, anti-aircraft defence and military intelligence set-up, was killed by a claymore mine on September 26, 2001, when heĀwas travelling alone in aĀpickup vehicle from Oddusuddan to Puthukkudiyiruppu.
In the precedingĀmonths, other Prabhakaran loyalists such asĀGangai Amaran, deputy chief of the Sea Tigers, Nizam, the political head of Batticaloa-Amparai,Āand Mano, communications chief of the Eastern Tigers, had been killed in similar claymore explosions. Others such as Colonel Balraj,Ādeputy chief of the LTTE'sĀmilitary wing, political wing chief Tamilselvan and senior commander Jeyam had escaped when their vehicles too had struck mines.
Shankar, who wasĀassociated with Prabhakaran for nearly three decades, hadĀset up theĀLTTE's overseas purchases unitĀto procure arms and ammunition. HeĀwasĀsucceeded by Kumaran Pathmanathan alias KP. HeĀwas also the founder-commander of the Sea Tigers division, the underwater attack unit, the anti-aircraft unit and the air wing division. He held a pilot's licence and certificates in marine and aeronautical engineering. It was ShankarĀwho assisted Prabhakaran when he metĀNorwegian Special Envoy Erik Solheim at Mallavi on November 1, 2000.Ā
While Prabhakaran blamed the deep penetration units of the Sri Lankan armyĀfor these incidents, the army denied these allegations and hinted that theyĀindicated growing dissatisfaction in the LTTE over Prabhakaran's policies.ĀPrabhakaran also ordered a secret purge of suspected elements in the LTTE set-up by Balraj and Pottu Amman, in which many cadres from the east were among thoseĀexecuted.
Many civilians in the Eastern Province were also arrested onĀcharges of possessing explosive substances and executed, with Pottu Amman claiming toĀhave foundĀover 30 bombs during searches in the Batticaloa-Amparai area.
In an effort to stem the unhappinessĀamong large sections of the population of the Eastern Province over the continued deployment of their children in the north and the severe hardships entailedĀby them even a year after the cease-fire went into effect, seniorĀLTTE officials met over 5,000 parents of fighters from the east, who had either been killed or deployed in the north at a meeting held in February last year at Palugamam inĀBatticaloa district. Praising the martyrsĀwho died for the cause of Tamil Eelam, they assured the parents thatĀthose deployed in the north were being well looked after and not discriminated against in any way.Ā
Among those who interacted with the parents were Batticaloa-Amparai district Special Commander T Ramesh,ĀBatticaloa-Amparai head of the political wing of the LTTE E Kausalyan,ĀCommander of the Jeyanthan Battalion, Ram,ĀBatticaloa-Amparai special commander of the women's wing Nilavini, Commanders Nagesh, Prabha andĀJohn Kelly Thaatha (their designations not known),Āhead of the political section Banuka,Āhead of the medical section Vaamanan, Vava of the political section,Āhead of the administrative division Reginald,Āhead of the accounts divisionĀSuvi, and Kirushan, Karthik and Manalaaru Vijayan from the section in charge of administration.
On July 28, 2003, Tamilselvan visited Batticaloa and addressed over 5,000ĀLTTE fighters from the east at a function held at the 'Meenaham' military base to mark the eighth death anniversary ofĀAnparasi, an LTTE woman commanderĀwho was killed when the Tigers overran a Sri Lanka army camp at Pondugal Chenai, near Tharavai on July 27 1995. Inaugurating aĀmemorial forĀAnparasi, he spoke at lengthĀon the vital role played by cadres from the Batticaloa-Amparai district in the war to safeguard the Wanni heartland and in the major offensives against the Sri Lanka army in the north whichĀled to the fall of theĀ Elephant Pass and other key garrisons.
Others who spoke at the event includedĀKaruna, who was described as the special commander of the LTTE's Southern Front Forces, T Ramesh, described as the special commander for the Batticaloa-Amparai District, andĀNilavini, described as the commander of the LTTE's women's unit in the district.
In July 2002,ĀBandula Jayasekara, a Sri Lankan analyst, pennedĀan almost propethicĀprofile of Karuna inĀFrontline magazine.Ā
'It is not clear how old he is, but it is accepted even by the Sri Lankan military that Karuna leadsĀfrom the front and that he does not believe in withdrawing even if he is in danger. Karuna isĀcredited with leading several battles to victory. He took part in all phases of Operation UnceasingĀWaves. He was responsible for the capture of Aiyakachchi. It was, in a way, the beginning of theĀcapture of Elephant Pass. Karuna is also well-guarded like his leader and, moreover, PrabakaranĀrecognises Karuna as a real fighter. One of Sri Lanka's most successful generals and currently theĀcountry's high commissioner to Australia, Janaka Perera, once described Karuna as one of theĀ LTTE's most successful commanders.
'Karuna is developing Batticaloa militarily, even while securing his place and strengthening hisĀforces in the area. Decoded radio intercepts from Karuna made since the signing of theĀMemorandum of UnderstandingĀrefer ominously to "when hostilities recommence." MoreĀcadres have been recruited in the east. The military strength of the LTTE around its headquartersĀstands at an all-time high of around 7,000. LTTE cadres who fought in the battles in the north and inĀthe Wanni have moved back to Batticaloa. It was Karuna who took them to fight the battles in theĀNorth and proved to Prabhakaran how effective his forces were.
'Most of the cadres in Batticaloa are returning to the east on the pretext of going on leave. OneĀcan question the real motive of Karuna at this juncture. What is he doing at a time when he isĀexpected to lay down his arms, building a separate and dreadful force in Batticaloa? Karuna isĀgetting ready to take over the east. He knows that Prabhakaran trusts him though there is aĀdifference between the Tamils in Batticaloa and Jaffna. No one knows if Karuna has an ulteriorĀmotive, or if he is following the orders of his leader. Karuna, like Prabhakaran, is not very comfortableĀat times of peace. He is a real warlord of the LTTE.ĀĀ
'It is well-known that he has gained total control of Batticaloa and is strengthening Batticaloa andĀthe east through mass mobilisation and collection of arms and ammunition. He has reorganisedĀLTTE cadres into regiments. The Pongu Tamil and the anti-Indian Annai Bupathi celebrationsĀin Batticaloa helped Karuna in his mass mobilisation. The Tigers tried through these twoĀevents to project the image of the LTTE as the only saviours of Tamils in Sri Lanka.
'Four LTTE boats intercepted by the Sri Lanka navy recently carried a large stock of arms andĀammunition. The boats also carried hardcore Batticaloa cadres returning from the north. TheseĀboats were released without taking any count of arms or other items lying with the LTTE. KarunaĀand Paduman were also in those boats. There were reports about the presence of LTTE intelligenceĀchief Pottu Amman. However, informed sources confirm that Pottu Amman was not in any of theĀboats. He had taken the sea route and landed before the Sri Lankan navy intercepted the boats.
'Prabhakaran has also started to recruit more cadres from Jaffna and the opening of the A-9 highwayĀhelped him to reach out to more people than ever before. It was never in doubt that Prabhakaran has most faith in his people from Jaffna even though it was Karuna's people from the east who foughtĀhard for the LTTE in recent times. Unconfirmed reports say that (LTTE ideologue Anton)ĀBalasingham had warnedĀPrabhakaran to keep Karuna under control.
'No one knows what Karuna is up to. It is Karuna that Sri Lanka's minister of defence, ThilakĀMarapona, and even Prabhakaran have got to watch closely. Karuna may prove people wrong,Āpeople who believe that everything will end the day Prabhakaran goes to 'heaven.' In fact Karuna isĀemerging as a formidable leader of the LTTE though he hails from the east. He could be even moreĀruthless than Prabhakaran. Karuna may even tell Prabhakaran one day: 'I will look after the east andĀ you look after the north.'
There are conflicting estimates of the LTTE's real strength, from 9,000 plus and above. The LTTE designates its military formations in Tamil as Padaipirivu, which means unit. Many analysts translate it in English as Brigade and estimate that each brigade mustĀhaveĀa minimum strength of 2,000 plus. This results in over-estimation. Each padaipirivu of the LTTE has a minimum strength of around 1,200 only,Āequivalent to a conventional battalion. InĀ2000, the LTTE had four full-strength padaipirivus:Ā
The Charles Anthony Padaipirivu:ĀDirectly under Prabhakaran andĀcommanded byĀSornam,Āchief of his bodyguards (since transferred to Trincomallee).ĀResponsible for Prabhakaran, onlyĀTamils from the north known for theirĀloyalty to himĀwere recruited. Ā
The Jayanthan Padaippirivu: Formerly commandedĀby Ram, it consistsĀ exclusively of fightersĀrecruited in the Eastern Province and hence likely to be loyal to Karuna.ĀĀ
The Vithusha Padaipirivu:ĀFormed in 1996 by merging five independent companies of theĀLTTE women's wing. Its women fighters distinguished themselves in the battles of OperationĀUnceasing Waves II in 1999. Consists of fighters from the north andĀeast.ĀĀ
The Leopards Padaipirivu:ĀThe LTTE's special commando force. Consists of fighters from theĀnorth andĀeast.Ā
After the battles of 1999, PrabhakaranĀdecided to raise two more padaipirivus. They are presumably already in position, but details are not available. In addition, the LTTE has an artillery padaipirivu with six batteries,a logistics padaipirivu and the Black Tigers (estimated strength 240 plus), the suicide unit, which consists largely of volunteers from the north. Presuming that the two new padaipirivus are already in position, the total strength of theĀLTTE armyĀis estimated at 7,200 plus.
Balraj, asĀdeputy chief of the army, commanded this entire force and Karuna used to report to Prabhakaran through him. Media reports that Karuna had at his disposal 6,000 fighters from the east seem somewhat exaggerated. A more reasonable estimate would be 1,200 plus.
In a military confrontation, it would be reasonable to expect that the Charles Anthony Padaipirivu (1,200), the Black Tigers and the intelligence wingĀwould be fiercely loyal to Prabhakaran. The Jayanthan Padaipirivu (1,200) may be loyal to Karuna. It would be difficult to say anything about theĀremaining padaipirivus.
The ultimate outcome of any confrontation would depend upon how many of the fighters from the east would obey Karuna and disobey Prabhakaran.Ā

Two years ago today, Michael Jackson died at the age of 50. By the time of his death, for many, he'd become a pop-culture freak show, a religious icon and a punchline. Lost in all of that - and in the manslaughter trial against his physician that is still meandering through the courts (here's the latest "development") - was the performer himself.
For a refresher on what a game-changer Jackson was, here's the moment he did it: his performance of "Billie Jean" during the taping of the TV special "Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever" in March 1983. Entertainment Weekly has a nice archival write-up on Jackson's performance, and its impact, here; when Fred Astaire calls you at home to tell you "you're a hell of a mover," you know something new is in the wind.
And for the old-schoolers out there (me included), here's a favorite from his first life, with the Jackson 5 (from "The Ed Sullivan Show" yet - how's that for old school?).

Rising inflation may be giving Bank of England governor Mervyn King a policy headache but it is good news for water company revenues.
To reflect this, analysts at Bank of America/Merrill Lynch have lifted their recommendations on the four quoted companies in the sector, giving their shares a boost. United Utilities added 24p to 579p and Severn Trent rose 50p to £14.40 as Merrill moved from neutral to buy, while Pennon put on 4.5p to 621.5p and Northumbrian Water climbed 5.6p to 314.10p after the bank raised its rating from underperform to neutral. Merrill said:
We are upgrading our stance on UK water stocks to reflect higher UK inflation trends which lead to valuation and earnings upgrades for all four listed stocks. After the recent weakness of UK utilities, valuations now look more attractive. UK water stocks offer the purest exposure to high inflation among the UK utilities and in 2011, should benefit from the continuation of high RPI and perhaps still low interest rates on the back of weak UK GDP growth.
Every 1% of higher RPI inflation is worth around 2% on valuations and is also positive for dividends.
The buoyant water sector helped lift the FTSE 100 by 14.04 points to 5997.38 but despite spending much of the day above 6000, the leading index came back from its best levels after a downbeat opening on Wall Street. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down around 10 points by the time London closed, with sentiment dented by worse than expected non-farm payroll numbers for January although the actual unemployment rate improved. The continued uncertainty over Egypt and whether President Mubarak would step down did not help matters.
Miners were mixed despite copper staying above $10,000 a tonne, with Anglo American adding 95p to £33.35 but Xstrata dropping 16.5p at £14.17. Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation fell 12p to £10.51 following unexpected news that chief executive Felix Vulis planned to step down for personal reasons as soon as a replacement was found. Vulis has decided that he no longer wants to spend three weeks a month in London away from his family in Kazakhstan. Indeed, he remarried only two weeks ago and his first grandchild from his first marriage was born just a week before that. He will be paid until he leaves but will not receive a golden goodbye.
Elsewhere Morrisons ended 7.7p higher at 278.9p after positive broker comment. Analyst Tom Gadsby at Matrix said:
Rightly or wrongly, the market sets great store by sales growth, especially the like-for-like measure. While like-for-like sales at Morrisons have been decent, it has delivered little by way of total sales growth over the past few months, and the shares have been marked down accordingly. We believe Morrison's top-line growth is on the point of picking up once again, with the shares likely to follow, and in a troubled market, the stock could provide a safe haven for investors. We reiterate our buy rating and 325p target price.
UBS suggested there was plenty of room for the supermarket group to return cash to shareholders:
Morrisons is over-capitalised by at least £1bn, and the preliminary results (10 March 2011) offer the scope for a substantial capital return and/or a material hike in the dividend. In our view, Morrison's balance sheet strength and ongoing cash generative capabilities could support both, although we think the latter is marginally more likely.
But Cairn Energy closed 11.7p lower at 426.3p on growing concerns that issues over royalty payments may jeopardise a deal to sell its Indian business to Vedanta Resources, up 22p at £23.87. The two companies and the Indian oil minister reportedly could meet on Sunday to try and resolve any problems.
Among the mid-caps Spirent Communications, the telecoms testing group, rose 5.2p to 152.4p in the wake of positive results from US peers Ixia and JDS Uniphase. Panmure Gordon analyst George O'Connor said:
Ixia gave us the clearest signal yet that Spirent is set to report results at the upper end of its 7% to 10% guidance growth rate (we are on 10% growth)...Ixia is the best operational peer to Spirent.
Spirent is a key beneficiary of the short-medium term opportunity in the development of 4G technology, while for the medium to longer-term it benefits from the broader development of connectivity, data and mobile computing.
Dixons Retail edged up 0.14p to 21.01p following reports of a link-up with US retailer Office Depot. Analysts at Espirito Santo said:
Retail Week reports this morning that US retailer Office Depot is testing shop-in-shops in Dixons Retail's PC World stores. The first opened on Tuesday in the PC World store in Croydon and follows similar moves by Phones 4U which had 50 shop-in-shops operating in Currys stores by Christmas last year. Dixons Retail programme director Rupert Campbell commented, "Office Depot's expertise and strong product ranges will complement our offer". The Office Depot sections will sell home office products such as chairs and desk top accessories and will aim to tap into PC World's small business customer base.
Still with retail, SuperGroup soared 180p to £17.10 after announcing it would pay up to €40m in cash and shares for its distributor in Benelux and France.
ITV added 4.65p to 84.05p on talk of a strong TV advertising market in the UK. Credit Suisse, which has an outperform rating on the broadcaster, said conversations with media buyers suggested the UK market would be up around 7% in the first quarter, with ITV's terrestrial and digital channels outperforming with a 10% increase.
Cable & Wireless Worldwide climbed 3.35p to 76.35p on revived takeover talk. Last year US group AT&T was said to be interested in the company.
Finally Accsys Technologies - the sustainable wood company run by Nick Clegg's brother Paul - lost 22% to €0.23 after a deeply discounted cash call to raise €30m. The money, its second fundraising in little over a year, will be used for working capital and to expand its plant in Arnhem.

In 2010, and in response to citizen concerns about uncivil behaviors at public meetings, F.O.C.U.S. convened a deliberate group of citizens including experts representing Syracuse University Maxwell School's Program for the Advancement of Research on Conflict and Collaboration (PARCC), to discuss ways to strengthen our community's capacity to ensure that respect-based norms for individual and group behavior are known and voluntarily adhered to at public events. In February, 2011 F.O.C.U.S. partnered with CNYSpeaks to co-host a public forum; "Making Public Meetings work for the Public: A Forum on Finding Ways to make Public Hearings, Forums and Meetings More Civil, Constructive and Productive." With the guidance of trained facilitators from the PARCC program, community members produced recommendations for promoting constructive, productive and civil public meetings.
As a result, we invite you to check out PARCC's new Public Engagement Toolbox, a collection of links to reliable, research-based sources of information for public officials charged with holding meetings to involve the public in decisions. Created under the direction of Prof. Tina Nabatchi, this website offers step-by-step guidance on engaging with communities and constituents effectively.

Nearly ton of pot seized at El Paso
Published 7:00 pm, Wednesday, May 7, 2008
Customs officers in El Paso drilled into the floor of what appeared to be an empty truck trailer and discovered nearly one ton of marijuana.
Authorities on Thursday announced the seizure involves 1,922 pounds of pot with a street value topping $1.9 million.
The marijuana was discovered Wednesday night, with help from a drug-sniffing dog, during a search at the Ysleta Port of Entry commercial cargo facility.
Customs authorities say 1,681 marijuana-filled bundles were removed from hidden compartments in the floor of the trailer, being hauled from Mexico.
No arrests were immediately made.

I'm going nuts. I wrote up a blog in Ms Worrd, then logged onto wordpress.com and clicked on Add Post. All I get back is Error on page. I tried opening it in a new tab or new window, same error.
Then I went to my blog, forthebugs.wordpress.com and clicked on New post.
I get this little tiny window above the normal blog screen to enter information. So I tried to copy/paste my blog into the little screen. It brings up a sort of popup that blocks the word-doc screen and says click control-V to enter content. So I do that, but there's no way to save it or anything, so when I go back to the word-doc screen, the content is not there. I've mever had this problem before.
So on the main page, anything I click besides Stats ends with error on page
on the far right top, nerw post fails the same way, and when I click on my blog name, the only thing working is the help tab. Everything else fails to bring back any kind of response.
The blog I need help with is forthebugs.wordpress.com.

Average Rating: 4.8
These doll joints are great! I first learned about them from a youtube video I saw a while back, and since then I've been using them ever since! They make attaching puppet arms SO EASY.
These joints make adding arms to your puppets as easy as could be. They give great range of motion and make it look top quality.
These doll joints met my needs perfectly.
These joints work well. I was just a little thrown by the size of the part that grips the joint. But I figured it out

Birmingham City have tied up a new deal with David Murphy by activating a two year option written into his current deal.
28 year old Murphy had just come to the end of his old contract and could have left the club on a free transfer, but Blues rewarded him with a further two years after turning out to be one of the better players in the squad last season.
Within days the club could have the signatures of Stephen Carr and Colin Doyle on new contracts as talks are 'ongoing` say Blues.
oung Jake Jervis is also on the receiving end of a new 12 month contract.
But it`s not such good news for Calab Folan, Cian Hughton, Enric Valles, Ashley Sammons and Luke Hubbins, they have all been released.

From Chronicle Staff Writer Susan Slusser at Target Field
Coco Crisp was wearing a huge wrap on his left shoulder in the clubhouse today, the result of an injury incurred while swinging the bat during the first inning on Friday. He's out of the lineup probably through Monday's day off and then will be reassessed. When I asked manager Bob Melvin if Crisp is available to pinch run, he said that will be a game-time decision.
With Crisp out and Yoenis Cespedes not yet available to play in the outfield, Josh Reddick is in center field and Brandon Moss is in right, with Chris Carter at first base. Melvin said he thought Reddick was a little uncomfortable in his first appearance in center earlier this season, but looked much more at ease the next time. Reddick has played in seven games there this year; this will be his fifth start in center.
Here's the lineup: Weeks 2B, Smith LF, Reddick CF, Cespedes DH, Moss RF, Carter 1B, Inge 3B, Pennington SS, Suzuki C; Milone P.
Some other updates: Brett Anderson (Tommy John surgery) will throw a three-inning simulated game on Monday in Arizona and then it's likely he'll head out on a rehab assignment, with the second week of August a potential target date for his return to the A's.
Dallas Braden (shoulder-capsule surgery) is maybe a few weeks behind Anderson; he threw a 40-pitch bullpen session on Friday and will do so again on Tuesday, according to Melvin.
Collin Cowgill (ankle sprain) played nine innings at Triple-A Sacramento last night, so he's pretty ready to go if Crisp were to need to go on the DL. Cowgill is 1 for 8 with Sacramento in this rehab assignment.
I went and spoke to Twins outfielder Josh Willingham this afternoon. He's hit four homers and driven in 10 runs in four games against the A's, his former team, this year. He'd wanted to return to Oakland, but he signed with Minnesota for three years and $21 million during the winter.
"I don't have anything against them," he said of the A's. "I've just played well against them so far."
He noted that he doesn't have any extra advantage because none of the A's pitchers were with the team last year. (Tyson Ross did face the Twins in May and one of Willingham's homers came off him; he was up with the A's at points last season.)
"I haven't seen any of those guys before, I'm just watching video and going out there and playing," he said.
Willingham acknowledged that he saw the ball well off A's right-hander A.J. Griffin on Friday – he homered twice off Griffin, but added, "He's got a really, really slow curveball."
That's the pitch Griffin struck him out with in Willingham's third at-bat, with two men on and a 3-2 count, to end the inning. Melvin applauded pitching coach Curt Young for going to the mound there and prompting Griffin to use the curveball more. "Talk about good mound visitis!" Melvin said.
Laptop issues prevented me from updating last night's Drumbeat; I'd wanted to mention a little more about Jonny Gomes' late, lamented Mohawk. Gomes said after the game that it will come back this season, he's growing it back out – he doesn't want to disappoint anyone, because, he said, he is an "ambassador of the Mohawk."

The music of composer Yao Chen is deeply rooted in the traditions of East and West as well as in the contemporary fusing of the two. With film and theater as additional influences, he has brought his creativity to multiple musical genres. After arriving in the United States in 2001, he has gradually developed as a composer with a distinctive voice in many international arenas. His music has been performed by the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Orchestre National de Lorraine, the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, the Pacifica String Quartet, Diotima Quatuor, eighth blackbird sextet, the Camerata Woodwind Quintet, the New Fromm Players, the TianYing Chinese Ensemble, the Beijing New Music Ensemble and many others.
Just a few of the important musicians with whom Yao Chen has worked are conductor Cliff Colnot, Rei Hotoda, Chinese pipa players Yang Wei and Lan WeiWei, Chinese bamboo flutist Zhang Weiliang, double bassist DaXun Zhang, sopranos Tony Arnold and Allison Angelo, pianist Nareh Arghamanyan, and bayan players Luo Han and Stanislav Venglevski. He has also received commissions, prizes and honors from Radio France, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Barnett Family Foundation Flute Competition, the Silk Road Project at the Art Institute of Chicago, the TMSK Liu Tianhua Composition Competition, and the ECU NewMusic Orchestra Composition Competition.
Yao Chen has shared his music with audiences at music festivals throughout the world, including the Radio France Festival Presences, the Tanglewood Music Festival, the Aspen Music Festival, the Centre Acanthes Festival, the Pacific Music Festival, the Moscow International Accordion Competition, the International Tianjin Accordion Festival, the Midwest Graduate Music Consortium in Chicago, the Chicago Contempo Concerts, the June In Buffalo Contemporary Festival, the SoundField Music Festival, the soundSCAPE Music Festival, the ECU New Music Festival, and the Western Illinois University New Music Festival.
A native of China, Yao Chen began his formal training in composition at the Xinghai Conservatory of Music in Guangzhou and continued his studies at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. His principal professors in China included Cao Guangping, Yan Dong, Su Xia, Yao Henglu, and Gao Weijie. He is completing his Ph.D. in music composition at the University of Chicago, where he studies with world-renowned composers Shulamit Ran and Marta Ptaszynska. He has taught in the Collegiate Division of the University of Chicago and is currently teaching at the School of Music of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

On November 14, 2916, 1352 UTC, head outdoors and try to get a vantage point of the supermoon. On this day, the moon will be at its closest to Earth since January 1948.
A supermoon occurs when the Earth, moon, and sun line up as the moon orbits Earth. The next sighting of the moon at its brightest and closest to earth will be November 2034.
Casual sky watchers may get an excellent supermoon sighting particularly in places in the US, UK, and Canada. The supermoon is expected to reach the peak of its full phase on the morning of November 14 at 1352 UTC. That is the equivalent to 9:52 AM AST, 8:52 AM EST, 7:52 AM CST, 6:52 AM MST, 5:52 AM PST. If you happen to be in these places, note the approximated time for a great supermoon view:
8:52 AM Thursday, in Washington, DC
8:52 AM Thursday, in Ottawa, ON, Canada
12:52 PM Thursday, in London, UK
11:52 PM Thursday, in Melbourne VIC, Australia
1:52 AM Friday, in Auckland, New Zealand
If you prefer watching the phenomenon online, the Slooh Community Observatory will have a live broadcast on November 13, 2016 at 7:00 pm or you can watch it on Space.com.
It is also an opportune time to commence a detoxification or body cleanse. Communing with natural forces of the universe can be awesome. It may be good to ingest something that will cleanse and strengthen the thyroid gland.
If you cannot head outdoors, check out online sites that will do live online broadcasts. Rest assured your place will have good weather condition, with little or no city lights nor clouds that may conceal the brightness of the supermoon.
Experts remind that the full moon and perigee (the point in the orbit of a heavenly body — in this case the moon — at which it is nearest to Earth) will not realign again until the second of January 2018.
