Since Michael Robbins made his New Yorker debut in 2009 with the exuberant and un–New Yorker–like poem "Alien vs. Predator" (which ever so boldly called Rilke a "jerk" in the first line), he has sent many a music geek's heart aflutter for his strange turns of phrase and cultural references to everyone from Buju Banton to Britney Spears. Tonight at Housing Works, members of his devoted following—New Yorker pop music critic Sasha Frere-Jones, The Awl's Choire Sicha, Sara Marcus (author of Girls to the Front: The True Story of the Riot Grrrl Revolution), and Throwing Muses singer Kristin Hersh—come out to help him celebrate the release of his debut collection, also titled Alien vs. Predator. Our old Voice pal Zach Baron, now a writer for The Daily, hosts.

Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Sucampo Pharmaceuticals and Takeda Pharmaceutical reported that one of two identical Phase III studies assessing lubiprostone as a treatment for opioid-induced bowel dysfunction failed to meet its primary endpoint. Additionally, a particularly high response rate among placebo-treated patients was observed.The two North American Phase III trials, OBD0631 and OBD0632, were assessing lubiprostone in opioid-treated patients with chronic, noncancer pain. The companies confirmed that they will continue with the ongoing, open-label safety trial, OBD0631, assessing lubiprostone in patients with chronic, noncancer pain, which is due to report in late 2009. If this trial is successful, data will be submitted to FDA in 2010.Trials 631 and 632 included a total of 875 patients receiving opioid therapies. Participants received either placebo or lubiprostone twice-daily for 12 weeks in addition to their opioid medications, which included morphine, methadone, oxycontin, or fentanyl. While trial 631 met its primary endpoint (a statistically significant change from baseline in the frequency of spontaneous bowel movements at week eight of treatment) and eight of 12 secondary endpoints including key symptoms associated with OBD, trial 632 failed to meet its primary endpoint and met only two of its secondary endpoints; positive trends were achieved in another four. In this trial some 58% of subjects treated with placebo experienced more than three spontaneous bowel movements (SBMs) a week. The overall adverse event rate for the combined trials was 54.9% for lubiprostone and 51.6% for placebo. Lubiprostone, whic his marketed as Amitiza, is a local activator of type 2 chloride channels in cells lining the small intestine, which acts to increase fluid secretion into the intestinal tract. The drug was approved in the U.S. for the treatment of adult chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) in 2006 and in 2008 for treating irritable bowel syndrome with constipation in women aged 18 years and older. The drug is co-marketed in the U.S. by Sucampo and Takeda's U.S. businesses. Marketing submissions have been made in a number of EU countries.In February 2009, Sucampo entered into a license, commercialization, and supply agreement with Abbott Laboratories covering the use of Amitiza in Japan for the CIC indication. It gives Abbott the right of first refusal for future indications. Clinical development of the drug in Japan is ongoing. Sucampo reported yearly increases in product royalty revenues since Amitiza's first market introduction, which reached $34.4 million in 2008. These were based on net U.S. sales of $193 million, as reported by Takeda in 2008, up from $155 million i n 2007.

Washington Post Staff Writer

Roman Catholic Church officials in Mexico have temporarily relieved a priest of his parish duties pending further investigation of long-standing allegations that he sexually abused a girl in San Francisco during the 1960s and early 1970s, according to a press release issued Monday in Spanish by the Archdiocese of Yucatan.
The priest, the Rev. Teodoro Baquedano Pech, 70, who has denied engaging in abuse, had been ministering in several rural hamlets near Yucatan's state capital, Merida.
A recent Washington Post article described how for 12 years Baquedano's alleged victim, Sylvia Chavez, now 54, and top church officials in San Francisco repeatedly warned church leaders in Yucatan about the priest. In 2003 a top deputy of Emilio Carlos Berlie Belaunzarán, the archbishop of Yucatan, responded in a letter that "we have taken all precautions to restrict Father Baquedano's access to children." Baquedano was never removed from ministry, however.
The news release issued Monday said: "Although we received warnings about an alleged victim, we did not have official documentation as a basis to initiate a canon trial . . . nor have we received any complaint [against Baquedano] during his years in Yucatan. . . . Notwithstanding this, the Archbishop has decided as a cautionary measure to provisionally remove Father Baquedano from his duties until a thorough investigation can be done."
Reached at her home in San Francisco, Chavez said that if Berlie is serious about uncovering the truth about Baquedano, he will ask to speak to her. "They need to hear from his victim this time."

Glad I remained defensive in my portfolio. Got 41% my portfolio in ANH.
... and you cannot beat the dividend if you still own it on 4/30/2010 i.e. $.27 a share (or around 15+%)
it should be up above 7.05 by now but instead it trending down....Where is the hype about the divy which we've all been waiting. Imagine after the divy ex-date how much more it woudl drop?
The price action on ANH isn't very good. I'm looking at a down day when I thought after the div was declared we would get a run up of some kind. Right now the market seems to have already priced in the div at $6.95. Any thoughts on this?
That is a great deal tied to a single position. That is a high risk move on your part. With high risk, comes high reward, but sometimes high losses if something negative happens. I hope you have a stop-loss in place just in case.With that said, let us hope the divy stays at this level for the rest of the year. a 15%+ yld is nice to have.
I like the companys "share repurchase" program. Shows me that there is an upside here. So the divvy becomes gravy on top of less shares O/S which is another bullish indicator of a stocks market price appreciation.

The splendid Uffizi Gallery is one of Florence's 'must-see' attractions. A trip to Florence without checking out this famous truly magnificent museum that houses a long list of universally acclaimed paintings and sculptures would be an incomplete vacation. The fabulous masterpieces of Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Botticelli, Mantegna, Filippo Lippi and Correggio are displayed there, as are the important works of Rembrandt, Rubens and Dürer. Besides the many Primitive and Renaissance pieces, the Uffizi museum also exhibits the Collection of Prints and Drawings and the Contini Bonacossi Collection.
The building that houses the Uffizi Galleries on its top floor was built by Giorgio Vasari. This large building, constructed in the ornate style so fashionable of the mid 16th century, took more than 20 years to complete. It used to be the administrative offices of the Tuscan State. The Art lover and collector Grand-duke Francesco I created the gallery to which many more great paintings, sculptures and works of art were subsequently added by members of the Medici family, Grand-dukes of Lorraine and then also by the State of Italy.

Skip to comments.Al Qaeda leader releases new message claiming US plotted to oust Morsi in Egpyt
Posted on 08/03/2013 3:16:31 PM PDT by sheikdetailfeather
On the same day that the U.S. Department of State issued a global terrorism warning, a message suspected to be from al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was posted on multiple jihadist web forums on Friday.
In the 14-minute audio message, the 62-year-old al-Zawahiri criticizes the ouster of Muslim Brotherhood-backed former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy, blaming the military coup that resulted in his removal on Americans and 'Zionists.'
The crusaders, the seculars, the Americanized army, (former Egyptian President Hosni) Mubarak's thugs and some members of Islamic parties with the support of Gulf money and American plotting, all agreed to topple Mohamed Morsy's government,' he said in the recording.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
There is no way. This administration isn't competent enough to topple a dictator
Especially not an Islamist dictator who it handpicked.
LOL...We can't even create jobs. Besides, our government has better things to do...like spying on it's citizens and JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON MARTIN!
Bambi and friends were on Morsi's side. Fortunately, the Egyptians were not.
Poor Bambi - he just can't get a break. Too incompetent even to work for Al Qaeda.
the USA has no influence in the region. Obama is seen to be a joke
I don't doubt it a bit since Obama's first choice upon the removal of Mubarak is now VP of Egypt.
But he's a "secular" Israel hater.
And? . . . Then?
al-Zawahiri is already praying 5x to allah per day & word not getting through?
If the house had a pair they could topple our fearless leader over the inept choices he has made so it is possible for him to topple himself.
It was freedom-lovers that cheered the removal of Morsi, POS and his people were devastated by it.
If Zawahiri has a bone with zero, he can at least be truthful about the reason so everybody can comprehend it.
The mooselimbs don't swim here, we let them in, give them visas.
Time to kick them out and anybody in DC who is assisting them in immigrating legally or illegally.
I don't believe it...
yeah I don't think so
"Al Qaeda leader releases new message claiming US plotted to oust Morsi in Egpyt"
Of course they did. Morsi couldn't close the deal on Benghazi. He has to pay the price.
Why would the leader of Al-Qaeda, Mr. al-Zawahiri, be issuing business-as-usual anti-American statements when he's supposed to be engaged in coordinating al-Qaeda's preparations for blowing up the world tomorrow?
After 100 of our embassies have been demolished, will anyone care about Mohamed Morsi and his problems?
Source: Terrorists behind embassy threat in place
Thanks sheikdetailfeather.
And remember, if drones are involved, we have to oppose the killing of this miserable POS. /snark

Intel Community Worried Obama Administration Disclosed Too Much About Latest al Qaeda Threat
We already know that Mr. Obama is not on our side. How can he not be on Al Qaeda's side, too? Obviously Zawahiri doesn't know him very well.

Security Closures of US Embassies Across Middle East Coincide With Ramadan Night of Power

And just why is this Rag Head still consuming oxygen? Is FUBO waiting until the noose is a little tighter before "getting him?"
There's often a lot of very rigid talk about how the various jihadists and terrorists are divided between Shiite and Sunni, and how Al-Qaeda is Sunni, or the Muslim Bro-hood is Sunni — but the Egyptian MB regime was bankrolled out of Qatar, and had the full faith and credit of the Iranian regime, whereas the House of Saud was out in the cold. Morsi and his gang were getting set to start some ugly stuff in cahoots with Iran while Egypt starved, and the Egyptian military to its credit acted quickly to remove the jihadists from power.
The Saudis were pleased, Assad was pleased, while Turkey (Assad's opponent) and Iran (Assad's enabler and ally) were pissed. The other shift due to Morsi's fall has been some signs of life in Lebanon vis a vis the decades long violations of their sovereignty by Iran's Hizzies.
After the Qatari emir was deposed (for all practical purposes) by his son and successor, the plug got pulled on Morsi and more than one of the numerous factions in Syria also got dumped by Qatar. The two operations were costing a fortune and were beyond their financial abilities to maintain. Assad, Iran, Iran's Hizzie proxies, and the Russians (who mostly just looked on) took advantage of that lull to launch a counteroffensive.
Now we'll be in a more general lull while everyone ponders (or prepares) their next move.
Thanks Whenifhow.
I remember reading about the coup d'état in Qatar (also remember Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf calling it "gutter" and I think others calling it "guitar" - not sure about that last one but sure about the first one). Interesting how that may tie together with other events in ME. Also interesting how everything over there doesn't split neatly into two camps but the alliances and the enmities can cross-pollinate if you will.
Yet, in a bit of irony, this admin was responsible for the toppling of Morsi - if they hadn't aided and abetted this tyrant's rise to power, he would have been available for the toppling..

Season 17, Episode 9 Wattstax
First Aired: September 7, 2004
The 1973 film "Wattstax," which captures the energy and excitement of a 1972 concert at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum, is spotlighted. The event brought together 100,000 spectators to see turns by Isaac Hayes ("Theme from Shaft"), Rufus Thomas ("Breakdown") and the Staple Singers ("Respect Yourself"). Also on hand are Kim Weston; Jimmy Jones; the Emotions; the Stax Golden 13; the Bar-Kays; Albert King; Little Milton; Carla Thomas; and Luther Ingram. The Rev. Jesse Jackson opens the event; and introduces Hayes. Intercut throughout are observations by Richard Pryor; and man-on-the-street interviews that offer a snapshot of what life was like for black Americans in the early '70s.

Maybe New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez has something in common with former Gov. Bill Richardson after all. Like her predecessor, she likes to pack the legislative agenda.
But that's where the comparison is likely to end. Unlike Richardson, it's hard to imagine Martinez coming anywhere close to accomplishing what she wants during the current special session.
If you say it softly, it's not so bad. Now what's that supposed to mean?
Well, it's a conclusion I've reached after years and years of observation as to how people choose to express themselves. Shouting out a word — if you overlook the possibility of rousing someone from slumber — is worse than whispering it.
Let me explain:
While we've appreciated "no drama Obama" in times past, we were glad to see the president's demeanor rise to a passionate level last Thursday when he gave his jobs speech. Yes, it was long on rhetoric and short on key specifics, but we applaud the central message he threw out there: A jobs bill is needed now, he's proposing one that Republicans should vote for, and Washington must act sooner rather than later.
After a night of changing TV channels back and forth between my two favorite sports — football and politics — I got to wondering about why they matter to me. And that maybe they should matter less.
On behalf of Alta Vista Regional Hospital, I extend our appreciation to our Partners Superior Ambulance, Collins Dental, Community 1st Bank, The Bank of Las Vegas and Walgreens for their contribution to the fourth annual "Back to School Health and Safety Event."
THUMBS UP! AL-QAEDA TAKEN DOWN. It took nearly 10 years and two wars — one excruciatingly long and frustrating war, and other misguided and unnecessary — but Osama Bin Laden and a number of important Al-Qaeda leaders have been eliminated. And while the hate-filled ideologies of this band of terrorists may live on, the organization itself it just about dead. Call it justice, vengeance or whatever you like, the world is better off because the U.S. is winning the war against terrorism.

Studying for the LSAT / Re: Question about a grouping game......« on: September 02, 2005, 02:30:21 PM »
If you can find a bookstore that has it, The Official LSAT SuperPrep provides a lengthy explanation to this very logic game on pages 4-11. In addition, it includes tips & explanations for LR & RC as well as 3 of the previously undisclosed February tests (96, 99, 2000). There are also explanations for every question from those three tests. I found it very useful early on in my studies. If you want to order the book, the best price I found for it was $23.58 (with shipping) at: http://www.booksamillion.com/ncom/books?id=3256927785826&isbn=0942639936

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- After a two-day respite, the New York Jets began on-the-field preparations Thursday for their AFC East showdown Monday night against the New England Patriots -- with only one player not at practice.
Right tackle Damien Woody, who sprained the medial collateral ligament in his right knee two weeks ago, didn't participate in practice. But that probably was a precautionary move, as Woody played every snap in last Thursday's win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
"Oh yeah I'm definitely going to be out there. It's all about being smart from this point forward," Woody said Thursday. "Everything hurts this time of year, nobody's healthy. The mentally and physically tough people step up to the plate."
Rex Ryan also said he expects Woody to play against the Patriots. The Jets still have two more practice days before heading to New England.
Wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery, who has missed two games with a partially torn groin, participated in the early portion of practice. Barring a setback, he's likely to play Monday night. That would give the Jets their usual receiving troika -- Santonio Holmes, Braylon Edwards and Cotchery.
The Jets and Patriots are both 9-2, fighting for the AFC East crown and, possibly, the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs. The loser could end up as a No. 5 seed and wild card. That's how much is at stake.
Rich Cimini covers the Jets for ESPNNewYork.com. You can follow him on Twitter.

That is equal to six teens dying in accidents every day. Teenagers actually drive less often than all age groups, except for the oldest group of drivers, but the fatal crash rate for ages 16-19 is three times higher than drivers 20 and older.Read more

Education, social welfare, health care—the entire social safety net will have to be slashed. But with a little ingenuity, we'll be able to preserve our prison-industrial complex!Prison labor has never been more popular.It's a win-win: politicians get to appear tough on crime, and ordinary Americans get guaranteed housing and a job. Best deal going! Almost too good. In Ocala, Fla., after a long debate, the City Council last summer decided to have a private company mow grass, even though using inmates would have saved $1.1 million. "Our area has been really hard hit by unemployment," said Suzy Heinbockel, a Council member. "There was a belief that the private company would bring local jobs, rather than giving those jobs to prisoners." The only thing that will stop the growth of prison labor is the fact that the few remaining free people can't get any work themselves. That's not depressing. Advertisement [NYT.

Martial arts has quickly grown in popularity as the top activity for children outside of school, and for good reason. Besides the many physical benefits and self-defense applications, martial arts aid greatly in a child's character development, imbuing in them values such as discipline, confidence, mental strength, and respect.
In fact, some of the greatest mixed martial artists today have credited early martial arts training with giving them the strength to overcome adversity in life, and strongly advocate starting children in training as early as possible.
To make your options easier in choosing a martial art for your child, here are the top five martial arts programs for kids in Singapore.
1. Evolve MMA
The Little Samurai Children's Program at Evolve MMA is the only children's martial arts program in Singapore that is designed by a Harvard MBA graduate, and developed around the multiple components of the fastest growing sport in the world today – mixed martial arts (MMA).

53 reviews | 4.1 out of 5
Got these baskets to replace the drawer under our crib that had been recalled. The are really cute. Plenty of space. My daughter's clothes are in the big one, blankets in the middle one, and jammies and onesies in the little one. A very pretty way to have extra storage.
These baskets are great they fit the Sarah graco changing table to a T but they scratch wood surfaces easily. they look nice. i ordered a second set but Walmart sent me white instead of pink. they're still good for the value. perfect for baby clothes and small things. i use the small one for medicines the medium one for diapers and wipes packages and the larges one for blankets.
I read a review that these baskets were used for the south shore changing table so I went ahead and bought them. The largest one did not fit and the middle basket barely did. While they were okay baskets, I did not want to keep if they all didn't fit---so I returned.
This basket set was recommended by Walmart to go with the South Shore changing table! The large basket does not fit in one of the changing table cubbyies as shown on Walmart's website! DO NOT buy if you are wanting them to go with the changing table! We returned ours!
These baskets met my expectations with regard to color, roominess, and price.
The basket liner is light pink and the basket itself is CORAL... Not white/light pink like the picture shows. They are very sturdy and well built but the color is not as shown in the picture.
The baskets themselves are nice but the reason I ordered them was because I ordered the South Shore changing table and it said those were the baskets that would fit in the cubbies. Well these baskets are WAY too big for the cubbies. Walmar.com should not recommend these baskets as the ones that would go with it. I had to return them an shop around for ones that DO fit.
Despite being "recommended" and "purchased by others who bought the same", these baskets do NOT fit in the Savannah changing table. As far as stand alone baskets, they are a good price and attractive looking, the only negative thing I would say about them is that they smell like paint when you pull them out o the box.
I ordered the baskets shown with (and in the photo) of a baby changing table. They were perfect looking with the table. However, the baskets received do not fit into the spaces in the changing table, making them about a $30.00 mistake.
I was looking all over for baskets like these at a reasonable price, and I am so happy I found this set. The color is very pretty, and the liners are beautiful with their lace trim. I am very happy with them. :-)
I purchased these baskets and I have to say I was disappointed when I opened the package and saw them. I saw hoping to get a very light pink and to my surprise the pink is nothing like in the picture. They are a horrible Pepto Bismol pink. The basket cover or lining is true to color. Since I don't want to go through the hassle of returning them, I'm just going to paint them to my liking. Other then the color they are well made and sturdy. The are quite big to. I would definitely recommend these baskets but not in this color. Unless you are going for pepto bismol or bubble gum pink.
great for storage, like diapers,...
the pink came out even prettier than on the pictures...
Roomy sized wicker baskets perfect for storing toys and baby items in my bedroom.
These baskets are great and they are a good quality basket set for the price! The only thing that was disappointing is the baskets and fabric is not the bright pastel pink as shown. It is more of a soft blush pink. Nevertheless, they are cute and they add that special finishing touch to my change table for storage. I ordered three sets. The large baskets are a very generous size perfect for storing toys. The medium baskets fit perfectly across the shelf of my change table for storage of diapers, clothes and toiletries. I used the small ones in the closet for storage of hats, socks, diaper covers...etc.
The baskets are very pretty and roomy! In the largest one I've put all her receiving blankets and burp cloths (and there's alot!), in the mid sized one I have her washcloths and towels and in the smallest one I put diapers. I didn't count them but I've had these for a week now and the diaper basket is still not close to being empty so that should tell you something about how roomy they are! They look really cute on the changing table. When we are done with the changing table I plan to put it on a bookshelf for toys, books, or whatever.
I really like these baskets. They're sturdy and a decent quality, and I'd definitely recommend them for the price. The color is a very pale pink, which I like (I have a lot of white in my nursery), but could see how others weren't ok with if they wanted a true pink color. Overall I'm very happy with them, and even ordered a 2nd set after receiving the first (I ordered only 1 at first because I wanted to see them after reading the other reviews). I feel that they're great for the money, and you really can't beat the price!
I bought these baskets for an open closet that my little girls share in their bathroom. The baskets match the room perfectly and work wonderful for holding all their hair and bathroom products. It has helped clean up the public mess that use to be seen whenever you walked in the room. Now they just grab the basket with nail polish, polish remover, etc or the one with all their hair accessories without having to look through the whole closet to find what they're looking for. They work beautifully!
These baskets are beautiful at the look but the wicker was already starting to come off when I took it out of the box. I expected the wicker to be sensitive but not already. I was excited at the size of the baskets but two out of the three baskets didn't fit in the baby's dresser so make sure to measure. They are sturdy if you are using for toys and in the closet but be prepared for the wicker to unravel. I did decide to return it.
As other reviewers commented, the pink isn't as bright as it is in the picture. More of a pastel pink. They match everything in her room though, and look great with the cherry furniture we bought. They don't feel super sturdy (hey, it's wicker!) but they do feel much stronger than many wicker baskets that we looked at. I'm satisfied and will probably be buying another set.
These wicker baskets are a lighter weight wicker than other wicker baskets I have purchased and seem to be of lower quality. Also, the set I received do not sit flat. The bottom of largest basket is severely warped and the other two baskets are slightly warped. I will return them and hopefully find something of a better quality.

Japan's largest telco, NTT DoCoMo, has begun to make a key piece of its strategy for NFC known, announcing deals with MasterCard Worldwide and South Korea's KT Corp. to enable subscribers to make payments when they roam in other countries.
Handset maker HTC and Cathay United Bank of Taiwan, among other parties, are expected to announce plans to launch an NFC mobile-payment project putting a MasterCard PayPass credit application on microSD cards that can run in a full NFC phone model from HTC.
While mobile operators in most other countries are still struggling to roll out even scant volumes of NFC phones that can do payment, ticketing and other applications, South Korea's telcos have already crossed the 5 million-phone mark–including NFC versions of such high-profile devices as the Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note.
KT, South Korea's second largest mobile operator, is distributing NFC-enabled iPhone attachments nationwide, p
South Korean mobile operator KT Corp. is launching a small rollout of NFC services on Apple's iPhone 4, using an attachment called iCarte that contains a full NFC chip.
South Korean mobile operator KT Corp. is introducing the Samsung Galaxy S II for NFC payment and other services, a source at KT confirmed to NFC Times.
Mobile trade group the GSMA today announced that major mobile operators "have voiced their commitment" to launch NFC and called for more standards to ensure interoperability of NFC services.
NFC Times Exclusive – The high penetration of contactless point-of-sale terminals and high use of contactless bank cards in Poland has spurred the launch of HCE mobile wallets by some Polish banks, but use does not appear to be taking off yet–at least if one bank's project is any guide.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Apple followed its launch of Apple Pay in France Tuesday with a launch in Hong Kong today, its ninth market globally and fourth in the Asia-Pacific region.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Apple Pay, as expected, has launched in France, its eighth market globally and third in Europe after the UK and Switzerland; but it launches with only one major bank in France, Groupe BPCE.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Telco joint ventures on opposite sides of the globe announced within hours of each other plans to pull the plug on their respective NFC wallets, marking another big hit for the future of SIM-based NFC.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Google has launched Android Pay in its fourth country, Australia, with one of the country's big four banks, ANZ, but the launch was beset by delays that have kept another of the big four, Westpac, on the sidelines for now.
NFC Times Exclusive – Apple's expansion into Switzerland late last week with its Apple Pay service followed a familiar pattern, as in many of the other new markets the tech giant has expanded its payments service in: support first comes from relatively small issuers while major banks hold out.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – With the launch of Apple Pay imminent in France, telcos there are continuing to push SIM-based NFC technology, hiring a trusted service manager for their new NFC SIM "hub"–although No. 1 telco Orange will also support Apple Pay.
NFC Times Exclusive – Alliance Digital Technology Co., the joint venture of five Taiwanese mobile operators and transit fare-collection operator EasyCard Corp., is steering away from the TSM business, which was the reason it formed three years ago, NFC Times has learned. It will add a focus on providing mobile ID and authentication, the JV told NFC Times.
NFC Times Exclusive – French banks and their bank-owned domestic payments network STET plan to launch mobile payments in the first quarter of next year with a "large smartphone vendor" using the domestic payment network's own token service provider, STET told NFC Times.
NFC Times Exclusive – SHANGHAI, China: While Apple has signed up more banks and is believed to have more cards registered in China for its Apple Pay service–around 10 million, according to a source–Samsung is seeking to outflank its rival with more acceptance points and more applications for Samsung Pay, NFC Times has learned.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Microsoft, which has written off more than $8 billion from its failed Nokia acquisition and which is expected to fully pull the plug on its consumer smartphone hardware business, nonetheless believes a viable wallet app is a must-have to keep its Windows 10 operating system for phones viable–although its announcement this week of Microsoft Wallet is surrounded by unknowns, including exactly when the service will generally launch.
NFC Times Exclusive – Three years ago, in June of 2013, MasterCard announced it would "deploy a target" of 410,000 MasterCard PayPass-enabled point-of-sale terminals, to be rolled out "throughout Japan over the next three years."

Introduction, styling
The R8 has been a revelation for Audi and is undoubtedly the brand's halo car. The rest of Audi's range has greatly benefitted in terms of image and perception thanks to the R8.
Since its introduction in 2006, Audi has launched additional variants of the R8 to supplement the original V8 coupe model. The first R8 variant to be introduced after the V8 coupe was the 5.2-litre FSI V10 in 2009. Next came the stunning looking topless Spyder in both V8 and V10 forms the following year. With the Spyder, Audi added a new dimension to the R8 experience. Audi didn't just stop with the Spyder tough as a more hardcore, lightened and more powerful of the V10 coupe – the R8 GT appeared last year. The R8 GT coupe was a limited edition model of only 333...
Since its launch back in 2008, the A5 range has been a resounding success for Audi, so much so that at one point, it even outsold the A4 models here in Singapore, where two-door coupe and cabriolet models are considered to be a tad impractical and family unfriendly. This impractical aspect of the A5 was somewhat addressed when Audi introduced a third A5 body style at the start of 2010 in the form of a svelte five-door hatchback, the A5 Sportback.
With the A5 Sportback, Audi had taken the recipe for the Mercedes-Benz CLS four-door coupe, shrunken it for a smaller model like the A5 and added fifth door to give the A5 Sportback overtones of estate, coupe and saloon body styles all rolled into one. Needless to say, the Sportback has further...
The premium compact hatchback market is about to become very exciting in the coming months. BMW fired the first salvo when it introduced the second generation five-door 1 Series late last year. Earlier this year at the Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz debut the new generation A-Class, Volvo surprised everyone with the V40 while Audi finally showed off the highly anticipated new A3.
The three new models, together with the 1 Series are hugely important as they make up for a substantial percentage of their respective marque's annual total sales worldwide. In the case of Audi, the new A3 is the first in nine years and only the third since 1996.
Outwardly, the new A3 might look remarkably similar to the old model in pictures but in the ...
I will never forget reading on the cover of an issue of Autocar magazine back in 1994 - it shouted, "The RS 2, 0-30mph in 1.5 seconds, faster than a Mclaren F1". An estate car that can out accelerate the great Mac off the line - how cool is that? Ever since then, I've always been intrigued whenever Audi offers a new RS-badged estate car.
The RS 2 Avant was the first Audi to receive the RS (RennSport) badge and is a collaboration between Audi and Porsche and was made at the latter's Zuffenhausen plant between 1994 and 1995. The Porsche influences in the RS 2's exterior are clearly evident thanks to the Porsche style Cup alloy wheels, the Porsche brakes as well as the Porsche look front and rear fascia. Porsche also optimized the RS 2's s...
Before the introduction of the Audi A1, BMW's Mini had the premium compact hatchback segment practically on its own. Since its launch, the A1 has been a thorn in the Mini's side thanks to its fresh and stylish looks, superbly executed interior and unparalleled refinement among other attributes. Suffice to say, the A1 has so far been a resounding success for the Four Rings.
Audi though, is not resting on its laurels with the A1. To widen the appeal of its smallest model further, Audi has added a more versatile and more practical five-door version of the A1 in the form of the A1 Sportback. The new body variant was recently launched in Singapore and we've driven it in top spec 185bhp S line guise here.
First unveiled as a concept at the ...
Since the launch of the B8 model in 2008, the Audi A4 has been a hugely popular choice in the compact executive class. The A4 has been well loved for its well-proportioned looks, powerful turbo engines and premium feel of its interior among other things. With the arrival of the new F30 BMW 3 Series, Audi couldn't have timed it better to introduce an updated A4 range.
Other than the new 3 Series, another model that Audi hopes the new A4 will steal sales from is the hugely popular Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The C-Class is so popular that it has been at the top of the Singapore sales charts in recent times, outselling even bread and butter models. How will the updated A4 fare against one of Singapore's most loved cars, the C-Class then, itself...
Striking the right balance between practicality and style in an estate car is no easy job – usually you either have a practical and spacious one like the squarish Volvo V70 or the big arse Subaru Legacy Estate, or a pretty and pert one like the Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon.
Audi seems to be able to get it right with their recent Avant models though, offering practical estates that somehow ooze style at the same time. Ingolstadt's latest estate offering, the A6 Avant emphasizes this point once more.
Style wise, the latest A6 Avant cuts an even more chic stance than its popular predecessor. It shares its handsome front end with its saloon brethren but things start to change past the B-pillar. The roof falls away more gently towards the re...
The BMW 3 Series Coupe has always been the top choice for years now among those who wanted a compact premium coupe. In recent years though, the two-door BMW has faced stiff competition from coupe models from rival manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz and Audi.
In the case of Audi, its A5 coupe has done more than enough to remove the smirk off the BMW's face but with the impending arrival of a new F30 3 Series based coupe entering the fray within the next 12 to 15 months, the Ingolstadt brand isn't resting on its laurels and have recently revised and refreshed the entire A5 range with new styling as well as new powertrains and other mechanical tweaks.
When it was first launched over four years ago, the A5 coupe's designer, Italian Walter ...

John Dickson wears many hats. He teaches ancient history at Australia's Macquarie University, co-directs the Centre for Public Christianity, and is senior minister at St. Andrew's Anglican Church Roseville (Sydney). His new book Humilitas: A Lost Key to Life, Love, and Leadership (Zondervan, 2011) explores a virtue necessary for faithful service in all those capacities: humility. Leadership Journal's Marshall Shelley and Drew Dyck spoke with Dickson about where humility comes from and why it's so important.
You call humility the "lost key" to leadership. Why do you consider it lost?
Lost is perhaps an overstatement for a subtitle of a book. We haven't completely forgotten humility. Humility is something that Western culture intuitively likes. We admire the great person who's humble. But it's something we've turned our attention away from. There hasn't been any kind of analysis of why it works or why it's helpful for our culture. I think of Jim Collins' book, Good to Great, where he found that some of the most impressive corporate leaders had what he described as a paradoxical blend of professional will and personal humility. But he doesn't analyze how on earth that could be. He doesn't examine what makes humility so powerful.
How does your book address this omission?
I try to come at the "humility effect" from a number of different angles. First, I'm trying to talk about the positive benefits of humility, why humility has a significant influence that we're not taking enough notice of. The other thing I'm trying to do in the book is tell the story of how humility came to be valued in Western history.
Ten years ago I was involved in a post-doctoral research project looking at the origins of humility in a secular ancient history department. The finding is pretty clear that humility came to be valued in the Western tradition because of Jesus and the early Christians. For an ancient person, to pursue honor was a great good; to experience shame was the greatest of all possible harms. Christians had to reflect ethically and socially on the death of Jesus. The most shameful, honor-less place in the empire was a cross. So they had to ask themselves, What does this mean? The greatest man we've ever known died on a cross. Was he not as great as we thought?
How did they resolve the seeming contradiction?
The early Christians decided that greatness had to be redefined to include this word that had, up to that point, been associated with servitude, the Greek word tapeinos (or, in Latin, humilitas). The Christians started using these words that used to mean humiliation, as a virtue, because that's what Jesus experienced. Christians recognized that the lowly place—the place of humility—can be the place of growth and learning and glory. Jesus went to the lowest place and was raised to the highest place.
The point I'm trying to make is that humility entered into Western culture because of the event of the cross. That means our culture remains cruciform (shaped by the cross) long after it stopped being Christian. I'm trying to tell that story without being too theological or too nerdy in a book that's really designed for Christian, and even non-Christian, leaders.
What does humility look like in a Christian leader today?
Recently Martin Hengel passed away. He was probably the greatest New Testament historian ever; he was very influential in my life. Story after story is told of how Hengel would have his students at Tübingen University come to his home on Friday evenings for meals and discussions. This is quite rare for the "Herr Professor," who is highly esteemed in German universities. But Hengel did it regularly, and people fondly remember the way he included them. His wasn't influential just because he was a brilliant scholar. It was the fact that he let people come very close, that he shared his life with them—that humility is what made his influence lasting. Whether we're talking about Gandhi changing an empire or Professor Hengel changing an entire generation of scholars, this humility, this cruciform life, is the most compelling aspect of the leader's life.

Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up-A richly detailed inspirational novel from a prolific writer of Christian fiction. Set in the early 1900s on the Canadian prairie, the story centers on Berta, the older, plain, dependable sister of cheerful, beautiful, affectionate Glenna. From childhood on, Berta feels ignored as pretty Glenna receives most of the attention from family, friends, and especially young men. She develops a protective shell so as not to compete with her sister's limelight. Circumstances and the stress of not revealing her true feelings finally cause the young woman to seek the advice of her minister. Both sisters eventually discuss their feelings and Berta discovers her "true self." Oke presents believable characters in a well-paced story full of insight and common sense. It will be especially appealing to any young adult who feels like a "sparrow" in comparison to the "bluebirds." The religious message does not appear until the later half of the book and could be overpowering to some readers, but the universal message of acceptance of self is this book's strong point.

Poor Berta can never let her grudges go long enough to enjoy life. When Glenna marries and moves to another town, Berta closes herself off from everyone. When their father dies, Berta withers in resentment.
Things change for the better when Glenna returns for a visit with her then 2-year-old son James in tow. The family reconnects, the sisters, mother and their maternal grandmother. Berta Rose (Rosie) was born, some 4 years after James. Unlike Berta, he embraces his new role as a brother and delights in Rosie.
In time, tragedy strikes. James, then 4 falls from a tree and dies from a closed head injury. Glenna's third child, Anna is born shortly thereafter. In time, Glenna and Berta have a heart-to-heart. Glenna says she prays to God daily to help her feel compassion instead of envy; she is not the naturally sunny personality people think she is. Slowly, Berta's emotional armor is chipped away. Once she accepts herself and lets go of her past resentments and allows herself to love Glenna unconditionally, then she is receptive to the love of a persistent suitor.
I think this is a wonderful story about love and redemption and prayer. I like the way God is mentioned throughout the book and the reminders of how important God is to those who believe in and serve Him.Read more ›
Berta Berdette has never been able to get over her resentment of her beautiful younger sister with the "charmed" life and handsome husband. All-or-nothing negative Berta is so angry that she wasn't born beautiful too, that she refuses to even try to be "just pretty", shunning lovely hairstyles and clothing and dressing in the primmest, plainest manner possible.
But God shows Berta that her attempts to spite the people around her hurt no one more than herself, and ultimately helps her to open her heart to love: His, hers, and that of a good man.
What worked for me:
The story starts early in Berta's life, and the deft description of a young child adjusting to a new baby was excellent and right on target.
I always enjoy stories which invoke warm memories of some of my favorite childhood reads like the "Little House" and "Anne of Green Gables" series.
Size-wise there are no descriptions given to Berta or her sister. We only know that one is "plain" and the other is "lovely".
What didn't work for me:
I understand what the moral of the story is, but it seems like this book just hammered it home a few times too many. Berta's bitterness and self-pity became harder and harder to take as the years rolled by.
Fans of Western Historical Christian novels should enjoy this one.
I did NOT like the characters in this particular book. Two sisters are compared throughout the entire book, one very sweet and popular, the other not as pretty, and very bitter about the fact that baby sis gets all the attention. I found myself wanting to slap the whiney sister. No wonder no one wanted to be her beau. I think that it had way more to do with ugliness of personality (whiney, grating, irritating.... I really did NOT like this woman) than of physical appearance. I got really really tired of listening to her little pity parties. (WOW! I sound so harsh!) Finally, too near the end of the book, she finds happiness. By then, I didn't care. I was too sick of her.
Frankly, I could not WAIT to get through this one, and although I will continue to read Oke's other books over and over again, this is one to which I will never again subject myself.

World Wide Study Bible
a Bible passage
Before I was humbled I went astray,
but now I keep your word.
67. Before I was brought low I went astray As the verb ענה anah, sometimes signifies to speak, or to testify, some adopt this rendering, Before I meditated upon thy statutes I went astray; but this seems too forced. Others go still farther from the meaning, in supposing it to be, that when the prophet went astray, he had nothing to say in answer to God. I will not stop to refute these conceits, there being no ambiguity in the words. David in his own person describes either that wantonness or rebellion, common to all mankind, which is displayed in this, that we never yield obedience to God until we are compelled by his chastisements. It is indeed a monstrous thing obstinately to refuse to submit ourselves to Him; and yet experience demonstrates, that so long as he deals gently with us, we are always breaking forth into insolence. Since even a prophet of God required to have his rebellion corrected by forcible means, this kind of discipline is assuredly most needful for us. The first step in obedience being the mortifying of the flesh, to which all men are naturally disinclined, it is not surprising if God bring us to a sense of our duty by manifold afflictions. Yea, rather as the flesh is from time to time obstreperous, even when it seems to be tamed, it is no wonder to find him repeatedly subjecting us anew to the rod. This is done in different ways. He humbles some by poverty, some by shame, some by diseases, some by domestic distresses, some by hard and painful labors; and thus, according to the diversity of vices to which we are prone, he applies to each its appropriate remedy. It is now obvious how profitable a truth this confession contains. The prophet speaks of himself even as Jeremiah, (Jeremiah 31:18,) in like manner, says of himself, that he was "as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke;" but still he sets before us an image of the rebellion which is natural to us all. We are very ungrateful, indeed, if this fruit which we reap from chastisements do not assuage or mitigate their bitterness. So long as we are rebellious against God, we are, in a state of the deepest wretchedness: now, the only means by which He bends and tames us to obedience, is his instructing us by his chastisements. The prophet, at the same time, teaches us by his own example, that since God gives evidence of his willingness that we should become his disciples, by the pains he takes to subdue our hardness, we should at least endeavor to become gentle, and, laying aside all stubbornness, willingly bear the yoke which he imposes upon us.
The next verse needs no explanation, being nearly of the same import as the last verse of the former eight. He beseeches God to exercise his goodness towards him, not by causing him to increase in riches and honors, or to abound in pleasures, but by enabling him to make progress in the knowledge of the law. It is usual for almost all mankind to implore the exercise of God's goodness towards them, and to desire that he would deal bountifully with them, in the way of gratifying the diversity of the desires into which they are severally hurried by the inclinations of the flesh; but David protests that he would be completely satisfied, provided he experienced God to be liberal towards him in this one particular, which almost all men pass over with disdain.
