Prateek Dayal said

Nithya said

Tony Joseph said

Shashank Gokhale said

PRONOUNCIATION….i already Listed few….

Deepak Nayak said
Hmmm so finally we have the song here!! I told you Sunny, you could do it!! This is come out really really well…
About the song:
- Great feel… I could feel the love for our Nation!
- Some issues with pronunciation… Just to list a few, nahin (nayi), kabhi (kabi), bandhan (bandan)…
- Great work on mixing… This was expected… LoL… Pro sound engineer… he he he… I know how you got this too!! ;)
- I would like you to try something other than A.R. next time!! I am sure that would sound good too and bring the real Sunny out!! Trust me, at some places, in face most of them I felt it was the original song and not sung by you!! :P
Great work dude!! This goes to my favorites… Keep up the good work!! Cheers… \m/
"Its all bout music and it always will be!"
Joseph Thomas said
Hey Sunny, good job. You made it sound almost like the original. It is hard to say if it's you or A R R. :-)
Now that's said, I think you should not try to imitate ARR's vocals in your rendition. I think while doing the cover versions, we can take the liberty of adding our own Manodharma (in slight variations though) etc.
Sudeip Ghosh said
sunny…why arent u trying at singing more often !!
my vocalist actually got confused that i was making him listen to AR Rahman and then i had to tell him it is you !!! great stuff
Ganesh D said
Dude that was cool, unless one listens keenly, it sounds very much like the original.
You should start singing more man.
Good job
Arun said
wow very nice singing it was very close to A.R voice….keep rocking sunny…
Sonia Doreen said

Sunny, Came here from George's Jashne Bahara comments. I love this song and the feel in it is awesome, You have done a magnificent job in capturing the mood of the song, some parts of it could have been better, as everyone said you should sing more often man.
Maruthi saidwell done on the mix the low cut and reverb really helped the distant tone mate…your singing relates weel too….keep posting more
Sudhathee Sriram said
wow….excellent selection of song…suits you soo well……Enjoyed this…:)
Soumitra Sarkar said
beautiful song and i really enjoyed your singing:)
Murali Venkatraman said
I second Pradip's comments.
Satyajit Sahu said
Man, this is one of my fav songs, and you have done a fantastic job. Though pretty much close to the original, I would have liked it even more, if you did one of your own diversion, a la 'oye majhi' style!
Anyways, a great job.
Life's a lot like jazz…. its best when you improvise!
Meera Manohar said
You have a very clean crisp voice, like many have said, with more practice I guess it can only become better.
Good work on the song, barring all the things with ref., to notes et al that have been already been mentioned.

Kate Bosworth creating 'multi-media' Topshop clothing line
Topshop has revealed actress Kate Bosworth is working on an innovative high-tech clothing range for the high street store.
Kate Bosworth is designing a ''multi-media evolution'' clothing line for Topshop.
The fashionable star has teamed up with the high street retailer to create a special bespoke collection, and the company has now revealed details of the mysterious high-tech project.
Justin Cooke, Topshop's chief marketing officer, told The Telegraph newspaper it would be a ''multi-media evolution'' involving clothes, adding: ''We are a clothing brand after all.''
Probed further, Justin conceded: ''It's about so much more, like music and lots of other stuff'', teasing: ''You couldn't guess what it is even if you tried''.
Kate is the new face of Topshop and starred in their Christmas campaign, which saw her warbling along to 'Winter Wonderland' in the advert.
This update comes after she admitted during London Fashion Week: ''I'm working a little bit with Topshop so I'm excited for you guys to see what we come up with.''
The actress is known for her impeccable style and is a fan of quirky British fashion, which she prefers to the laid-back surfer vibe in her native California.
Kate said in the past: ''The individual expression in London fashion is fantastic. I visited Portobello market this trip and picked up a few great treasures.
''My favorite British designers are Stella McCartney, Christopher Kane, JW Anderson, Preen, Jonathan Saunders and Alexander McQueen - and I'm a big fan of Tabitha Simmons for accessories.''

China's Exchanges Pave Way for Adopting XBRL
February 27, 2006
The Chinese securities industry is not the place to look for hot performance. According to Bloomberg, the Shanghai and Shenzhen composite indexes have been the world's worst-performing stock benchmarks since 2001. But in one area, these two exchanges are breaking new ground: the use of the extensible business reporting language (XBRL) for corporate filings.
XBRL is an open, XML-based standard that takes corporate filings and translates them into a common, universal format. Instead of cutting and pasting numbers from PDF files and Word documents into Excel, analysts can type a keystroke or two and populate spreadsheets or databases.
"You spend less time retrieving the data and more time on analysis," says Elmer Huh, executive director of valuation and accounting research at Morgan Stanley. In addition, XBRL reduces errors.
The more companies file in XBRL, the better, he notes, and momentum is picking up. "I think we're at a tipping point right now," he says.
At the Shanghai Stock Exchange (Securities Industry News, Jan. 30), for example, securities issuers and institutional shareholders originally sent in paper reports. These were later replaced by PDF documents, says Shuo Bai, CTO of the exchange. Now, the PDFs are being replaced by documents formatted in XBRL. "Because of XBRL, things are changing," he adds.
To make it easier for listed firms and funds, financial data can be entered into a user-friendly template, which then generates XBRL documents. These documents, in turn, are stored in a central repository where they can either be disseminated to investors or analyzed by regulators.
In 2003, the exchange had a pilot program, in which 118 annual reports were filed in XBRL. By 2004, more than 800 companies were filing both quarterly and annual reports. Now, all listed Chinese companies--there are about 1,400--have to file in XBRL. International investors will be able to access the data through Edgar Online sometime in the first half of this year.
"China is unique in the world in mandating it," said Jennifer Wu, Edgar Online's director of business development for China. "But a lot of other countries are moving toward XBRL standardization, particularly in the EU space and in Asia as well. It's a global wave."
In the U.S., for example, companies are encouraged to join a voluntary XBRL program in return for expedited reviews. It's a little trickier for U.S. firms, explains Corey Booth, chief information officer and director of the office of information technology at the Securities and Exchange Commission, because they can't simply fill in the blanks in an XBRL form. "Our financial disclosure isn't based on a fill-in-the-blank model," he says. "It's about GAAP [generally accepted accounting principles] accounting, which allows you some flexibility. We want you to present your data in whatever way makes sense to provide the best picture of your company's performance."
The SEC has launched a test program, which will assemble a diverse group of companies to put the XBRL system through its paces.
Other countries are also experimenting with XBRL. Australia, New Zealand, Korea and Japan, for example, are putting together XBRL systems for their public companies. In Europe, there is an XBRL working group in almost every country, and many exchanges are also testing systems. In Germany, for example, the Deutsche Borse has set up a joint venture with other market participants and an XBRL provider to create a system in which listed companies can file quarterly data with an XBRL template. The template is already available for companies to try out, but there is no mandatory use of the tool as in China. Deutsche Borse spokesperson Richard Willis says: "Right now, we're enabling companies to get a feel for the system."

7 money musts before you die
Are you your family's CFO? Part of your job is to make sure your loved ones aren't left clueless -- or poor -- when you depart this world.
Recently, my colleague Nancy Anderson wrote an interesting post about how various financial planners at our company manage their finances with their spouses. Most of the planners involved their spouses, but in many families that's simply not the case. Since you're reading this, you probably at least help manage your household's finances. You may even go it alone -- or with little involvement from your spouse. This may work well now, but what if something were to happen to you? How would your spouse manage without you?
While no one has figured out how to live forever, you can take steps to prepare your loved ones to go on without you. Here are seven moves you should make to leave your family as financially secure as you can:
1. Make sure you have adequate life insurance. This is the first and most basic step. You don't want your family to struggle to pay the bills and put food on the table without your income, yet, according to a recent study (.pdf form), about 41% of American adults have no life insurance. Of those who have it, about 40% rely solely on their employer's coverage, but this usually provides coverage only in the amount of one or two times your annual salary. This may be enough for some families to readjust, but if your spouse can't make the mortgage payment alone, and if he or she would be unwilling or unable to sell the home, you might want to make sure you have enough life insurance to pay off the loan. Even that amount might not be enough coverage. (Do you have enough life insurance? Find out with this MSN Money quiz.)
Once you know how much you need, consider purchasing a low-cost term policy from a highly rated insurer for the maximum length of time you might need the coverage. For example, if you need the policy just to pay off the mortgage and you have 15 years left on the loan, a 15-year term policy should be enough. Purchasing a more expensive whole- or universal-life policy could encourage you to get less than you need or force you to drop the policy if financial difficulties make the premiums unaffordable. It may be tempting to purchase additional coverage through your employer, but keep in mind that if your health deteriorates, you may no longer be able to purchase a policy on your own after you leave your job. Finally, choosing a highly rated insurer means a better chance that the insurance company will still be in business when your family needs it. You can search for policies that meet these criteria at sites like Term4Sale and Insure.com.
2. Keep your beneficiaries updated on retirement accounts, annuities and life insurance policies. You may have hastily put someone down as your beneficiary when you opened your individual retirement account -- or even left it blank. This could lead to your ex-spouse inheriting most of your assets, your child being unintentionally disinherited or your heirs having to pay higher taxes and probate fees than necessary. (All things being equal, there is an advantage in making your spouse the sole beneficiary of your retirement accounts, because he or she can roll your accounts into his or her own to postpone taxation; children and other heirs can't do that.)
- Calculator: Are you saving enough for retirement?
3. Research whether you can add beneficiaries to your other assets. Some states allow you to add beneficiaries to bank and investment accounts, and even to your home and vehicles, saving your heirs the time and cost of probate. Simply ask your bank for a "payable on death" form and your investment company for a "transfer on death" form. There are a few more steps for homes and vehicles, but the process is still relatively simple. With these forms of ownership, your beneficiaries would simply need to provide a death certificate and a valid form of identification to take ownership of the property. Otherwise, they may have to wait months and pay legal fees before having access to the money or property.
4. Draft a will. While you may not mind having the court decide who will inherit your property, you probably don't want it deciding who will raise your children. For parents, being able to name their children's guardian if something should happen to both adults is often overlooked, yet that is one of the most important things a will dictates. You can get instructions and templates for writing a basic will online but it's a good idea to have a qualified estate-planning attorney review your documents (which should cost less than having the attorney write the will from scratch).
5. Consider creating a trust. Do you have a taxable estate (currently $5.12 million but scheduled to drop to $1 million next year), property in multiple states, a child with special needs or a will that might be contested? These are all reasons to consider hiring an attorney to draft a trust. It's more expensive than a will, but it can be worth the cost if you have a complex financial or family situation.
6. Try to involve your spouse in family finances. This may be easier said than done, but it's worth a try. Set aside a time to review your finances. Recommend your favorite personal finance publications or shows. Invite your mate to a financial workshop. At the very least, introduce him or her to any financial professionals you work with.
7. Make a record of where everything is. You can draft the greatest estate-planning documents, set up the perfect accounts and work with all the right professionals, but that won't do your spouse much good if no one can find those things -- or even knows they exist. One of our planners uses the financial website Mint.com partly to record his family's financial assets. Others prefer to keep everything written down and in a safe. Find the system that works for you.
These steps may seem simple, but you'd be surprised by how few people have taken all of them. It's not as if we don't love our families; we just don't like to think about death. Still, it is one of the few certainties we have in the financial world (along with taxes and market fluctuations). It's not a question of "if" but "when" -- and whether your family will be prepared.
More from Forbes.com:
Now I have much more "stuff", my wife has passed away, we had no children, and I have to decide who gets what, including what I want to distribute to my late wife's family. They have worked to keep me involved, even giving me my wife's share of her father's estate even though he passed away two years after she did. It saved me, at the time, and I will not forget that generosity. I deserves and requires reciprocity. A fact that will complicate my final will and testament.
Before I can write/draft a more current will, however, I need an accurate description of all of my assets. The bank accounts and the value of my home are relatively easy, but my other possessions (i.e. high quality furniture, etc) is more difficult to estimate. Some of it is high-quality, 50 year old stuff from Ethan Allen and Thomasville. I have no idea what it is truly worth. My first thought is to hire an insurance loss estimator, as an independent contractor to do a good faith survey. After that the will would be easy.
Any thoughts on the subject?
Why think ahead live day by day, Ye sure! plan all you want. That in a blink of eye you life can change.
You might be 20, 30, 40, even 50 years and start planning for death, No-one really knows when they are going to die (unless you have a deadly illness).
The best advise I have heard is don't drown in debt, save a little and live a lot without hurting no-one.
Children and families will continue to live, they carry for a time and then the dead are forgotten.

Garlic & Herb Tomatoes
You say, "Tomato"? I say, "Tomatoes."
Yes, 'tis the season – I have zillions ready for harvest in my garden! Needless to say, there's been much creative tomato experimenting going on in the kitchen these past few weeks. From whipping up various salsas, to tomato sauces, to soups, to kabobs, to roasting, drying, sauteing, grilling…you name it! (Have been feeling a strange sense of deja-vu with the post-Thanksgiving turkey soup, turkey sandwiches, turkey casserole, turkey salad extravaganza…hmmm, wonder why…).
Anyway, this recipe is a classic from the woman who knows her classics – Ina Garten, the beloved "Barefoot Contessa". She is a pro (literally) at weaving together simple ingredients, and in this case, a very simple method, to create a result that's surprisingly rich and satisfying. And what's more, this recipe only takes 7 minutes to cook on the stove – marvelous! So if you're looking for a simple, summer-y side to go with dinner tonight, go raid your garden (or your neighbor's, or the grocery store's, or mine!) and give this one a try.
Garlic & Herb Tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons good olive oil
- 5 cloves minced garlic
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Heat the olive oil in a saute pan large enough to hold all the tomatoes in one layer. Add the garlic to the oil and cook over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, basil, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to lose their firm round shape. Sprinkle with a little fresh chopped basil and parsley and serve hot or at room temperature.


text: Security consultant hijacks plane's navigation system with Android app Technology 11 April 13 by Liat Clark Tweet A security consultant has demonstrated how easy it is to hack a plane's navigation system using a smartphone, to highlight gaping holes in aviation tech security.While the rest of the world is busily taking off shoes at airport security while looking forward to a time of airborne smartphone use, Hugo Teso of N.runs AG in Germany was developing an Android app to redirect flights at the touch of a button, reports Help Net Security. He demonstrated the hack at the Hack In The Box conference in Amsterdam, explaining that by building an exploit framework called Simon and a complimentary Android app that delivers attack messages, he could manipulate a plane's path as he saw fit (albeit, virtually). It took three years of hunting down holes in standard systems to work out how he could use radio signals to send his own navigation commands to a plane's control system, using publicly available Flight Management System (FMS) hardware and software which mirror the code onboard real planes. Teso is a trained commercial pilot, so was familiar with the aviation industry's operating systems -- and their flaws. The Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is the core of a plane's navigation system, sending identifiable information about an aircraft (such as altitude and coordinates) to air traffic controllers, and receiving air traffic and weather data in return. It was this, along with the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) -- a datalink tool that keeps planes and air traffic controllers in constant communication via radio or satellite -- that Teso was able to breach. Operating in a virtual framework (the tools he devised cannot be used in the real world in their current form), Teso used Simon to upload flight plans and commands to an FMS. The app is the consumer-friendly version of Simon, with its usability making hijacking easy for Joe-public. There are options to click on a plane within range (it's integrated with publicly available Flightradar24, which tracks flights in real time) and gather any data from the ADS-B, then upload a payload which enables it to remotely control the flight path by sending simple commands. Commands Teso exhibited deliberately horrified the audience -- "visit ground", for instance, tells the plane to miss its trajectory and crash. But otherwise he can change altitude, direction, speed -- pretty much anything normally controlled by the plane's system."ACARS has no security at all," Teso told Forbes. "The airplane has no means to know if the messages it receives are valid or not," he says. "So they accept them and you can use them to upload data to the airplane that triggers these vulnerabilities. And then it's game over."There are a few things that should help you breath a sign of relief after reading this. For one, as Net Security points out, in real life a hijacker's system would only be able to track, monitor and mess with flights within its antenna range. Furthermore, if a pilot becomes aware of the issue they can switch to analogue controls or override them with their own commands -- it can only manipulate the plane when in computer-controlled autopilot mode. It is, also, based on software and hardware that mirrors FMS -- it is not an exact replica of a real in-flight system, which has more (but not complete) security controls. Holes have been poked in the ADS-B system before, which is of concern because the latest model is in fact a relatively newly updated system. According to a directive by the US, most aircraft in its airspace will need to be equipped with some form of it by 2020, for example. Nevertheless, Teso says the industry has been open to hearing his concerns and finds.

Thursday: Answering some questionsPosted on December 20th, 2007 – 10:44 AM
By La Velle
There's a good chance I may be unable to post until late today (if at all), so I'll tee up a few things for you now, based on some responses I've read here.
Who's really interested in Santana?: The way it was laid out to me, there are several teams interested, but the Red Sox and Yankees remain the two main suitors. Other teams will indicate that they might get heavily involved but, as of this writing, have yet to make a strong offer. The Angels, Mariners and Mets all have shown some degree of interest in recent weeks. I hate to write it again, but everything can change with one phone call.
What's the deal with the Mets? Do they really have a shot? I still hear that, unless the names Wright and Reyes enter the picture (and I doubt they will), the Mets have no shot. The word at the winter meetings was that the Mets kept their name involved for PR purposes. This is an indication that the Twins may not be that fond of some of the Mets prospects.
The Yankees are in…no they're out….they may be really close to getting Santana…no, now Hank says they're on the outside: Heh, Hank Steinbrenner has to be a reporter's dream. I think it's obvious that Steinbrenner and GM Brian Cashman are sparring over players to offer to the Twins, but you can never count them out because they need Santana more than the Red Sox do and they can pay Santana what he wants. Hank could pop off at any time and say, "Costanza, get in here! Look, this Santana guy is just what we need, JUST WHAT WE NEED! I want him, and I want YOU go to Minneapolis and get him!"
While we're at it, why DO the Red Sox want Santana? We already have a good rotation…. This is not about the Red Sox keeping Santana away from the Yankees or making the Yankees drive up the price. I know a few Red Sox people. Boston trains in Fort Myers where the Twins are and I bump into their people all the time. I met GM Theo Epstein and assistant GM Jed Hoyer at the winter meetings when they were just wandering around the hotel with nothing to do. I've had no choice but to talk about, `The Nation.' The Red Sox want to dominate. They want to build a dynasty in the AL East and keep the Yankees reeling for as many years as they can. A rotation of Josh Beckett, Santana, Dice-K and Schilling with Tim Wakefield and Clay Buchholz also in play helps them achieve their domination goals.
Are the Twins really serious about opening the season with Santana in the rotation? I, too, find that hard to believe. Most players who enter their walk year want to keep walking. While Santana's camp hasn't come out and said it, there are some rumbling that he won't waive his no-trade clause during the regular season.
The Twins maintain that they aren't afraid to open the season with Santana, and they may be willing to call his bluff at trade deadline. That"s a big gamble. They should be looking to get the best deal possible now. If they can get four players in return for Santana, just look at what your getting with the top two players in that deal and hope player Nos. 3 and 4 will be equal to what you'd get in compensation picks. So as long as they are satisfied with the quality up top, they should pull the trigger.
Why can't the Twins sign Santana? The Twins did offer a four-year, $80 million extension, which shows that, no matter who the pitcher is, they won't sign someone for five, six, seven years. Many of those deals (Kevin Brown, Mike Hampton, Denny Neagle) end up being wasted money by the time the deal expires. You would think that Santana would be special case but, again, history warns against such a commitment. Just like with Torii Hunter and Carlos Silva, someone will pay Santana much more than the Twins.
If I were a fan, I would not let this organization off the hook because of that. The Twins could have signed a few players a year ago before salaries jumped forward again. Now that Joe Nathan has watched Mariano Rivera sign for $15 million a year at his advanced age, what do you think No. 36 is worth?
Not signing Santana a year ago, when he was asking them to, was a massive mistake. Now new GM Bill Smith is having sleepless nights trying to make a good Santana deal. Ownership needs to be proactive. It's a $6 billion industry. Everyone is making money, right Carl?
What about Nathan? The Cubs? I still expect the Twins to look to trade Nathan once they move Santana. Just in case Santana does wind up with the Twins in April, you might as well keep the closer and see where the chips fall. If Nathan is put in play, I would expect several teams to jump at him. He's too good and he's inexpensive this season. I wrote last week that the Cubs would be interested if Nathan is put on the market. A radio station in Chicago mentioned Carlos Marmol as possible trade bait, someone here immediately threw Felix Pie into the deal. This has been advanced farther it should be. Nathan wasn't on the trade block, last time I checked.
Ben Revere? Someone threw out this name too. First of all, I believe Revere hasn't been in the organization long enough to be dealt. Secondly, he's good. You want to keep Revere. He's very fast, they think he'll hit and he may be able to drop a few over the fence. Denard Span is still a good prospect, but there are people in the organization who feel Revere has more upside. Too bad he'll need several more years before he's ready.
So….what's your gut feeling: I still think he'll end up with the Red Sox, and I don't mind either package. I will say this: Some Twins people like Coco Crip and feel he can get back to his game if gets out of Boston. I think that's possible, but Ellsbury could be very good. He had a .389 OBP throughout his minor league career and the Twins have watched him develop while facing their teams in the Gulf Coast League, Eastern League and Internatonal League. They know what they're getting.
The Yankees have no shot if Hughes (a super stud of a prospect) isn't in the deal.
Before I'd say yes to Theo, I would call the Angels and Dodgers one last time….

Client launches anti-Hogan ad campaign
There may be no place like home, but for Hogan & Hartson partner Ty Cobb a change of address uncorked a heap of trouble recently.
The vitriol reached a peak last week when a former Hogan client, Denver-based General Steel, launched an extremely high-profile and ferocious advertising campaign lambasting the firm.
The company put out a public call in newspapers and on the radio claiming it had been short-changed by Hogan in terms of services.
It asked any other Hogan clients that may, in its words, have discovered its lawyers were "less experienced" than expected to call a toll-free number. It is not known whether any have taken advantage of this unique opportunity.
The campaign was an attempt to recoup costs incurred by General Steel when it instructed Hogan on a lawsuit it faced three years ago. During the matter, leading white-collar defence lawyer Cobb relocated from Denver (home of General Steel) to Washington DC, an event the client claimed led to it being represented by a less senior lawyer, namely employment associate Sean Gallagher.
General Steel (known in its own ad campaigns as 'The General') settled the lawsuit and agreed to pay $4.5m (£2.57m). It then sued Hogan.
The company's president Jeff Knight apparently warned Hogan in the settlement negotiations that he would initiate a "shock and awe" advertising campaign in order to influence Hogan to settle.
According to Hogan general counsel George 'Sandy' Mayo (who may have been speaking with just a trace of sarcasm), Knight designed the campaign himself "because of his expertise in advertising".
Mayo says the campaign and its argument was "complete nonsense".
"Ty Cobb is a very successful trial lawyer who tries cases all over the country," Mayo adds. "It doesn't matter where he lives. The notion that where his house is located has any impact upon his abilities is laughable."
The case is set for arbitration in Denver next April.
General Steel did not return a call for comment.
Reed Smith evolves its practices along industry lines
Reed Smith has appointed the former senior partner of Richards Butler, Paul Johnston, as the head of its new global financial services group.
Johnston starts his new role on 1 January next year along with Los Angeles litigation partner Michael Brown, who will become head of life sciences, another new firmwide group at Reed Smith.
The move is part of an ongoing process by the firm to restructure its practice groups along industry verticals instead of traditional practice skill sets.
The firm began the process on 1 January this year with the launch of its private equity and real estate divisions.
The two latest groups represent Reed Smith's largest revenue-generating areas. Each group will contain more than 100 lawyers and contribute more than $100m (£48.55m) to firmwide turnover. Reed Smith chairman Greg Jordan said the move was a "natural step" in the evolution of the firm.
"We're going to be taking another step in the growth of the firm and have all the lawyers who represent certain types of clients and their interests moving into one group, irrespective of their individual specialities," says Jordan.
Jordan adds that he anticipates the firm's global turnover would be in excess of $1bn (£485.49m) in 2008.
"Each of these two new groups will contribute around 10 per cent of our 2008 business," he adds.
Jordan says it would be the responsibility of the group heads to drive them forward strategically, with full responsibility for staffing, marketing and direction.
"More than anything, we'll be looking for Paul and Michael to be real leaders of these key groups," he adds. "Myself and the rest of the management of the firm had the responsibility of filling these positions and we're delighted the two of them agreed to step in."
Big business turns to lawyers for compliance
Several stories in this column over recent weeks have focused on the aggressive growth strategies of numerous firms in New York. But it's not just private practice firms that are out in packs hunting for lawyers.
Thanks to the ever-more stringent US regulatory regime, lawyers are increasingly becoming in demand as compliance officers in major corporations.
According to Alisa Levin, one of the principals at Manhattan recruitment consultant Greene Levin Snyder, compliance right now is "white hot".
"I've placed more compliance officers in the last year than in the previous five," says Levin. "Five years ago we handled the occasional compliance search. Now every fifth in-house position will be a compliance search."
And as with the rest of the legal market, the salaries are growing to match the visibility.
Levin says senior compliance officers at major corporations or investment banks can command salaries of at least $700,000 (£339,850). One reason for that is the element of personal liability that goes with the territory.
"It's a very tough job," adds Levin. "You have a target on your back now because of the increased reporting requirements of US companies and the fact that these positions carry some degree of personal accountability to the compliance officers themselves. It's scary stuff."
Cohen Milstein invokes 200-year-old law
Last month saw a US Court of Appeals decision that could have implications not only for a significant number of the world's leading multinationals, but also for the US itself.
Cravath Swaine & Moore led the charge for the defendants, while litigators from Cohen Milstein Hausfeld & Toll (including Michael Hausfeld) represented the plaintiffs.
At stake is a $400bn (£194.2bn) class action centred on the apartheid regime in South Africa between 1960 and 1993. As one lawyer involved with the case puts it: "The plaintiffs purport to represent all of the non-white citizens living in South Africa during apartheid."
The suit is predicated on the Alien Torts Claims Act, which grants US courts jurisdiction over certain violations of international law. The law dates back to 1798 and was considered redundant for most of the previous two centuries. But according to another lawyer involved, "ATS [or Alien Tort Statute] claims are exploding - they're everywhere".
Sensationally, in the apartheid case, the three groups of plaintiffs - Khulumani, Ntzebesa and Digwamaje - unexpectedly won the right last month to take the matter back to the district court, from which it was originally dismissed in November 2004.
In the meantime lawyers for the defendants have now begun petitioning for a writ of certiorari, or judicial review, in the Supreme Court.
"The issue at stake as to whether a corporate can be held liable for the acts of a repressive government as a result of it doing business in that country are monumentally important," says a lawyer who prefers not to be named. "Take China: is every company doing business in China responsible for the repressive attributes of that government?"Cohen Milstein partner Agnieszka Fryszman rejects this point, claiming the suit was not aimed at companies doing business in South Africa, only at those that aided and abetted the apartheid regime.
"It's a qualitatively different matter selling goods in a country from contributing to human rights violations," adds Fryszman.

The decline of larger companies did allow us to become the underdog. If Nokia or Kodak comes out with a new huge digital camera, we don't care. it doesn't affect us.
In a afternoon panel called "Being Considered Obsolete is Awesome," Alexandra Klasinski, the online US head of Lomography, a film community and social network, said that the world of analog photography is alive and well. Ms. Klasinski said that her company, which sells film cameras like the Holga that come outfitted with neat lenses and filters that allow light to leak in and other quirks to give the resulting photographs a vintage, washed out effect, is thriving. The company, which invites users to upload their photos online, has collected more than 10 million photos and garners 3 million visits to its site each month. "We've released 20 different kinds of film and more are on the way," she said. — Jenna Wortham

Could I have hated more the discordant music I had to sit through before this play finally got underway? By the 24th time I'd been blasted by the marking-time horn in the break room scenes – did it HAVE to be aimed right at my head? – I was finding very little I wanted to listen to in that theater.
Throw in a few fluorescent lights to accentuate the hideousness of the loading-dock styled stage, and the visual becomes nearly as unappealing as the aural.
I would have to strangle any one of these people were I to spend more than 5 minutes with them. I myself am not a stranger to cluelessness, but the exponential self-absorbed obliviousness of these lost souls … they're completely wrong for each other, a disaster waiting for anyone unfortunate enough to know them, and utterly repellent in their stupidity. Book learning notwithstanding.
If ever there were a play that made me glad to be well past my 30s, this is it.

While the performances of Bibb, Hamilton & Fischer were superb- I was amazed at how little LaBute's subtext was appreciated by reviewers & audience.
He does dare to show the venality of male disconnection- seen as 'telling the truth' - but nothing in this play or others qualifies as "poignant." His women are- as ever- undesirable.
Steph is shown to have a sort of emotional aggression but belligerent ignorance of the world. Carly is sexually juicy but burdened & impulsive.
Neither are appealing life partners. In fact- women are never good enough and the Truth About Men is they get stuck with them.
Maybe misogyny is a sufficient theme for LaBute...but it has become- even as it morphs into subtler forms- a one note career.

I had the same reaction as BB seems to have had - and I had been concerned going in because I'd read some negative reviews (and completely forgotten what the Times' review said). Not all people mature as they age - it didn't bother me over much that Greg in particular had not yet done so - Josh Hamilton played him brilliantly. The dialogue for all the characters sounded real and the characters seemed like people I've met. The very end of the play did not feel right to me and hopefully La Bute can work on this. I hope there will be another opportunity in a few years to meet them again, especially Greg and Steph.

Absolutely the most watered down nonsense thrust upon a NY Stage in years. There was absolutely nothing interesting about these people lives or issues. Not to take away from the performers as they all did what they could, but what has happened to MCC? Is it that hard to find/finance a pay that actually means/says something?
Dreadful and wasteful.

Once again, I wonder if Ben Brantley saw the same play we did. The solid cast performed skillfully, but the material was uninspired. Jenna Fischer's now defunct TV show packed more humor, pathos and inspiration into a half-hour than LaBute is able to come up with in two longish-seeming hours.
It's not that the play is bad. It has narrative drive and some flashes of insight into human motivation and emotion. But these modest virtues are not enough. Absent Stoppard-esque verbal pyrotechnics (or other redeeming virtues), one should leave a domestic drama moved in some way, maybe at least a lump in the throat. Or, at the other end of the scale, the laughs should still be echoing in the theater. None of that here. The audience at the performance we saw was underwhelmed -- at least as measured by the tepid applause at the end that had died down almost before the actors could race off the stage.
Small but galling point. The Steph character is offensively (borderline unbelievably) ignorant. In the hands of a more subtle playwright, this could possibly work. But here, it somehow struck both of us as jarringly sexist.

I'm amazed at this glowing review. It's not at all what I was expecting after seeing a preview a couple of weeks ago. More previews than in the run--a bad sign.
A huge LaBute fan since In the Company of Men, including Bash, Possession, etc., I was astonished at how nonbelievable the characters were and how little I cared what happened to them. Is this the next generation? Maybe if the actors had been 10 years younger, their personalities would have been more understandable. Their blind selfishness was no surprise from the hand of LaBute but this time it wasn't ingratiating.
Another bad sign: I was impressed by how many lines, including non sequiturs and unfinished sentences, the actors had memorized. But in general I couldn't wait to hit the street and was tempted to flee at intermission--very rare for me. The plot contained 10 million logical holes.
In "The Women," Crystal was the shopgirl (Joan Crawford in the movie) who lured the heroine's (Norma Shearer's) husband away.
This production's sole redeeming grace was Fred Weller as a selfish (did I say that already?) dope with a hairtrigger temper. (Greg wouldn't have stayed in a room with him for five minutes. Carly would not have been involved with him.) He looked relaxed and relieved at the curtain call, making it clear what a physical and emotional effort playing that character must be.
The deafening music between scenes made it clear that La Bute hates his audiences. I was prepared with ear plugs when I saw The Shape of Things. I'd read that he wanted to eliminate any possibility of conversation so that each theatergoer would have to figure out what was happening independently. Playing that same noise again suggests that there was no philosophy behind it before. You don't want audiences over age 25? Good luck in the theater.
I will not be buying tickets to Reasons To Be Retiring.
Gravely disappointed on a night of pouring rain when a good play would have made the effort worthwhile.

Maybe I'm not as much of a LaBute fan as I should be. I felt engaged but impatiently bored as I watched these mostly unlikable and unbelievable characters trek through this installment of the series. I caught this show early in its run and wonder if any changes were made. I must admit I found the blaring music and the advancing stage during scene changes annoying, unnecessary, and ineffective (my date disagreed). There was really very little occurring in this story and by the end I just wanted Greg to make a decision. I think I felt more tortured than the character, lol.
June 10th, 201311:52 am
This dreadful production has no business being on the stage. Characters we can't believe or become invested in and one implausible relationship after another make this border on farce. I wanted to laugh at scenes that were not meant to be funny. I don't know how anybody could think that this melange of characters would ever come together in this manner. And the theater needs some renovation - the seats are "un-sittable" in, especially through this muddling mess. A sad experience all around.
May 28th, 201312:05 pm
I just came from seeing this play, earlier this evening, and was thoroughly disappointed, to the point of boredom and disgust. The only expectation I had was to be wowed with the LaBute sharp insight and wicked humor I was used to from previous works, on stage and on screen. The pedigree of the cast was, of course, another sell.
In short, this was a waste of (my) time. I had very few Reasons to be Happy when intermission came, and even less when it was over. (Though I did like the stage design and grunge rock music interludes.) I couldn't tell if the cast was too old or the play was too "young" meaning half-baked; not yet ready to be seen. The pacing, the direction, and the characters - what came out of their mouths wasn't confident - was just dreadful.
Was this supposed to be a mishmash of sitcom troupes or some workshop for a future movie/TV pitch? It was like a centrifuge of relationship funny refuge whirling around in slow motion. And it got slower and sloppier with each successive scene. I couldn't look at the stage at some points (though the physical humor worked). I couldn't find any rhythm in the lines. No character to latch onto; I couldn't believe these folks knew/loved/worked together.
And that last scene was ridiculous: I thought that the actors, as committed as they were to the text, must have been ad-libbing at many points. Last but not least, was that titular point of Being Happy was thrown in like a sledgehammer, seemingly during the last minutes of nearly every scene. After very unnatural pauses.
Subpar for this playwright, for sure.

Reasons To Be Happy has all the ingredients for a successful Broadway hit. Extraordinary acting by well-known, and not so well known actors, and a wonderfully suspenseful plot line with intelligent humor.
Newcomer Leslie Bibb is amazingly perfect and beautiful in a tailor made role. Fred Weller would make Mary McCormack (In Plain Sight) very proud. Veteran actor, Josh Hamilton, showed off every bit of his talent, and Jenna Fischer, from The Office, shines and sparkles like you've not seen before.
This production is a breath of fresh air after a Broadway season filled with empty, meaningless nonsense, and an off-Broadway season filled with a bunch of uninteresting formula plays.
Bravo to Playwright Neil LaBute for coming through again.

A loan move to Peterborough United was arranged the following season and he proved he was adapting to Championship level when netting a superb long-range drive against Leicester City. Just when he looked certain to become a key contributor in Posh's battle against relegation, the injury jinx struck again and his campaign was curtailed.
Peterborough went down on the final day, as both Petrucci and fellow loanee Scott Wootton remained sidelined, leaving him with the aim of getting fit again for pre-season. After going on tour last year, the classy midfielder must be striving to earn a place on the plane again in 2013.

George & Wendy Show
Wendy Parker
Notes on (barely) reaching new heights
Sometimes, no matter how old you are, you learn new and interesting things about yourself. Traveling all over the country has put me in positions and places I would have never experienced otherwise, so even at the ripe old age of 44, I'm still learning new oddities about my own personality.
My husband was determined that I would make it all the way across the United States this trip. When I was five, my family took a trip to Mesa, Ariz., from Atlanta, and that's as far as I had ever been West. This trip we started in Ohio and made our way to Houston, backtracked to Baton Rouge, La., and crossed again to Phoenix, where we had to stop for a reset. George knows Phoenix well — he was actually living there when we met. We decided to go out and explore and see the sights around the area. I was also treated to my first In and Out burger, which was delicious.
Apparently, when he lived out West, he was crazy as hell — he took me to a mountain and told me we were going to climb it, just like he used to. I've mentioned before that I'm from Georgia and the highest mountain I had ever actually walked on or around was Stone Mountain, and this didn't look anything like Stone Mountain. This was a for-real mountain, with craggy peaks and rocks and holes full of unspeakable varmints. I was all for trying something new — that's kind of what this whole trucking experience is about — so I followed him out of the truck and toward the stratosphere.
At the base of the mountain began a nice little path, cut clear of brush and well-worn. I started feeling much better about this whole thing when I saw the path. My good feelings faded when I realized my husband was walking away from the path.
"Hey, aren't we taking the path?"
"That's a mountain-bike path. We're liable to get run over if we take that one."
A mountain-bike path on a mountain should make perfect sense, but I absolutely could not wrap my mind around riding something you have to balance on up a steep incline. I am not a mountain biker, and unless zombies are chasing me at a high rate of speed up the side of a mountain, I doubt I ever will be.
We made our way for a few minutes up pretty easy terrain. I quit looking at the ground about two minutes into the trek, because there were more holes to hide snakes, scorpions and rabid wombats than I could count. I became increasingly nervous as the climb got steeper.
"How far up are we going?"
"To the top."
He pointed to a plateau about nine thousand feet in the sky. I was trying really hard to be cool, but the uncontrollable shaking had set in at about a hundred feet off the ground and I was decidedly not enjoying this new experience.
"I don't think I'm going to make it. I have a lot of work to do. Maybe next time."
"Come on, babe. I won't let you fall."
He has said the magic word. Fall. Note to anyone out there who is taking someone mountain climbing for the first time: DO NOT SAY THE WORD FALL.
I tried to trooper through, but when my feet started slipping and the ground we were covering became a ninety degree angle, I sat my butt firmly upon it and refused to move another inch. George had made it to a little flat spot about ten feet above me.
"Come on up here, we can watch the sunset over Phoenix and we'll go back down."
"In the dark!?"
"We've got time to get down before it gets really dark."
"When the sun sets it's dark."
"Babe, you made it this far. Get up here and let me take some pictures."
He helped hoist me up and I immediately became certain I was going to plummet to my death. I was even more scared that he would fall and leave me frozen in the sky for rabid wombats to feast on my bones. I have never been so uncontrollably afraid in my life. This made no sense to me — we had a tree service business years ago and I climbed big ol' trees (with a chainsaw attached to my belt) and had never experienced this type of fear.
I must have been really quiet (definitely a sign that I'm either dead or in deep thought), because he asked me repeatedly if I was OK. I planted my ass firmly on the ground and refused to move any further.
"Just take the damn pictures and let's get down from this death trap."
He kept turning his back to me and it took me a minute to realize he was laughing at me.

We kicked several ideas around, including the painting of mandalas or Hindu deities on the wall. What we finally alighted upon was the idea of painting birds and landscapes based on 17th century Mughal gouaches and watercolors.
As it turned out, getting the colors right was the trick to the whole project, and we tested endless sample boards. As this was a private residence, we weren't going to go too bright or commercial with the wall color, so lilac, magenta and marshmallow peanut were out. I began with ivory in my first color sketches, but this was too cool and looked like Chinese ink on silk, and that's when I stepped up my research.
There's not a single ivory background in the Mughal miniatures I found, they were flush with curry-ochres, pea green in the landscape and dotted with vivid floral colors from the Indian sub-continent, so that's what we did--our room is basically a small watercolor blown up to cover the whole wall.
This is a room for young children as much as adults, so it had to be fun. I was attempting to mimic a faux-naïve style of Indian artists 400 years ago, though I got carried away with my birds. As to the last picture, I discovered this as I was capering about looking for an eraser; I take it that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Just checked your website: awesome work!
Drawing Mughal inspired art work in a yoga room is akin to drawing kaballah symbols in a mosque.
there may have been people doing yoga under mughal rule, but not in mughal buildings usually - there's a bit on antagonism between islam & hinduism.
nisiepie: no, really. mughal motifs are odd in a yoga room. take it from a young indian practicing yoga who also knows her history. nothing to do with religious antagonism, etc etc etc- the two don't go together.
