We had to go to the front desk twice because our keys didn't work. When they did work, they only worked on one of the two entrance doors. The front desk was short staffed so we had to wait in a 15 minute line every time we asked for new keys. The stairs to the room were crumbling and were a safety hazard. The views from the room were of the parking lot and soda machine. There was no cleaning service during our two night stay. We stayed here because it was close to the start of a marathon we ran but we wouldn't stay here again.
Overall our stay was great. We had plenty of room, the beds were comfortable and the condo was clean. The only thing I didn't like is we were put in the unit that was the closest to the busy intersection. When I checked in and she showed me our building and unit on the map, I asked if the road noise was loud. She said that no one had ever complained. Honestly, it was not too bad, but it would have been nicer to be in one of their units with a view of the red rocks instead of a busy street. For the price, I guess that is what you get. The unit was easy to get to and located near the hot tub, which the kids loved. The DVD players were nice to put on movies and my daughter even made cupcakes and popped popcorn in the kitchen. It was close to our favorite hiking trails and near grocery stores, but not too close. We would stay here again. I may just be more specific on making sure we were in a unit father from the street.
We rented a 2 BR which was a studio lock out attached to a 1 BR condo unit. Photos are pretty accurate, and the configuration works well. Plenty of space for our party. We only stayed one night and planned hiking events, so we did not partake of any resort "features" and cant comment on them. Our particular unit was right on top of busy Rte 89...Noise was an issue for us. I suspect that the other units would be better. As other reviewers have noted, we avoided the "welcome gift" timeshare sales process, which they tracked. Then our phone rang, we were visited at the door, etc... Last thing I want to do is dodge a timeshare sales pitch on a vacation.
I have stayed at the Summit over the past 20 years and have stayed other places but enjoy this one the best. Staff, service and the environment is always top notch. Even though there are a limited number of rooms with a "view" any room has so much to offer.
Good place to stay for a week in Sedona. Clean good layout for six with joined room villa condo..
Only problem was upstairs and a tiny noise in bath fan buzzed downstairs bedroom every time turned on.
Otherwise a cool.place to stay.
The resort was beautiful. We had a great two bedroom. Plenty of room for two adults and two college age kids. We were very close to the adult outdoor hot tub and pool. We used it every day after hiking and since it was adults only it was very quiet!
We would stay at this resort again.

An unknown number of employees of GlaxoSmithKline (China) Investment Co. Ltd., the local subsidiary of the British multinational corporation GlaxoSmithKline plc. (GSK), were detained on allegations of data fraud and bribery at the end of June.
On July 11, 2013, the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) stated that GSK senior managers had confessed to "serious economic crimes," including bribery and tax-related violations. Over 30 GSK employees were placed under house arrest and constant surveillance, The Telegraph reported. Four Chinese senior executives, Zhao Hongyan, Liang Hong, Huang Hong, and Zhang Guowei, were arrested and gave full confessions. Steve Nechelput, GSK's chief financial officer in China, remains in Shanghai under travel restrictions and is being given counsel by the British Foreign Office. Another British national, GSK's head of emerging markets, Abbas Hussain, apologized for the crimes committed by GSK China employees, and promised to review GSK's business model and lower drug prices in China. Nearly three weeks after the first allegations, GSK briefed criminal investigators from the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) on its activities in China.
Police reported that GSK employees were suspected of paying bribes to doctors, hospitals, medical associations, and government officials. Employees filed false invoices and used other fraudulent means for personal gain and to acquire bribe funds. Officials estimated that over 3 billion RMB had passed through around 25 different travel agencies or consulting companies since 2007. Some 700 travel agencies and other subcontractors have been investigated in connection with the probe. Gao Feng, head of the economic crimes investigation unit at the MPS, detailed that senior GSK executives were drawn into close relationships with middlemen, who gave them financial and sexual kickbacks in return for business. Gao also hinted that at least four other multinational pharmaceutical companies might also be involved in the investigation as the scope of the anti-bribery probe widens.
Since Gao's announcement, several sales executives from AstraZeneca, a British-Swedish pharmaceutical company, have been detained by Chinese police. One of the detained is understood to be an American citizen. Company spokespeople declared that the arrests were unrelated to the GSK probe.
GSK response: company pledges to "cooperate fully" with Chinese authorities
Internal GSK investigations following a leak to the Wall Street Journal ended in June, yielding "no evidence of bribery of corruption of doctors or government officials." After the MPS statement, GSK spokespeople declared that, "These allegations (by the Ministry of Public Security) are shameful…[GSK] will cooperate fully with the Chinese authorities in the investigation of these new allegations." The company added that it would immediately stop using implicated travel agencies and begin an internal review of all third party agency relationships and past travel agency use.
Under Chinese law, the GSK executives will be formally charged only after the preliminary investigations are completed. A full confession by senior executives might allow them to benefit from leniency measures linked to voluntary disclosure in the resulting trial.
GSK probe marks largest anti-corruption investigation of a foreign company since 2010, bodes ill for company reputation
This case marks China's largest bribery investigation of a foreign company since new anti-bribery laws came into effect in 2011 and 2013. It comes in the wake of a series of scandals, and bodes ill for both the company's future business and its reputation. In 2011, GSK reached a record $3 billion fraud settlement with the U.S. government for aggressive sales and marketing practices. In 2012, GSK fired a number of Chinese employees for expenses manipulation and other abuses, and the head of GSK's Shanghai research and development facility was let go earlier in June following revelations that he and his assistants had misreported data.
As of July 2, GSK is also facing investigation by the National Reform and Development Council (NRDC) which has begun examining 27 companies for costs and 33 for pricing, including GSK, Merck & Co., Novartis AG, and Baxter International Inc. The Chinese Food and Drug Administration and the Ministry of Commerce have begun looking into illegal pharmaceutical practices in China, with the CFDA declaring the start of a six-month investigation into bribery, fake drugs, unauthorized medicine sales, and forged receipts.
Implications for international investigations by U.S., U.K., and China
GSK is currently the subject of an ongoing 2010 joint investigation by the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) into alleged violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in China. Although GSK is a multinational corporation based in the U.K., its extensive holdings in the United States make it subject to U.S. law as well.
This probe marks the first parallel investigation, or 'carbon copy prosecution,' by the Chinese government and the SEC and DOJ of an anti-corruption case. Both countries are subject to WTO anti-corruption criteria and the United Nations Convention against Corruption. Some observers have wondered whether the GSK probe marks the establishment of a more internationalist and active global anti-corruption campaign, which may draw on bribery evidence and admissions generated in DOJ and SEC enforcement actions, or vice versa.
U.S. anti-corruption laws: the FCPA in China
The anti-bribery provision of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), enforced by the DOJ, prohibits U.S. 'issuers,' 'domestic concerns,' and their officers, directors, agents, and shareholders1 from bribing foreign officials with 'anything of value' to corruptly influence an official decision or to obtain a business benefit. Prosecutions are based on historically broad definitions, so that a 'foreign official' includes government officials as well as employees at government organizations such as state owned enterprises (SOEs) and government hospitals. The term 'anything of value' might range from cash or a cash equivalent to loans, travel expenses, charitable donations, commission sharing, and luxury entertainment. The FCPA covers prohibited conduct anywhere in the world by publically traded companies and their officers, directors, employees, and agents, including third party agents, consultants, distributors, and joint-venture partners.
A person or company covered by the FCPA is liable if he/she/it makes a payment to a third party or intermediary while knowing that all or part of the payment will be given to a foreign official. ("Knowing" is defined very broadly as basically being aware that such a payment will be problematic/raise red flags—and not doing anything about it.) Prohibited payments or activities carried out by third party associates may not constitute grounds for a defense of ignorance by the covered company, because it may be assumed that such company will have appropriately vetted its partners before engaging in business. The DOJ does not insist upon strict liability for the anti-bribery provision.
Penalties may include company fines of up to $2 million, or twice the pecuniary gain from improper payment, while individuals may face fines of up to $100,000, or twice the amount of gross pecuniary gain and/or imprisonment of up to five years. Companies and individuals may be subject to further injunctions, including suspension, or being barred from U.S. government contracts, being barred from receiving export licenses, and being sued in a private cause of action for triple damages under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).
One exception to the strict anti-bribery provisions is the 'facilitating payments,' or 'grease payment' exception.2 Grease payments are exempt from FCPA liability.
The 'Books and Records and Internal Control FCPA provisions, together known as the accounting provisions, are enforced by the SEC and apply to any company listed on a U.S. stock exchange. The Books and Records provision requires the covered entity to keep accurate and detailed records which accurately reflect the transactions and dispositions of the company assets. The internal control provision further requires a covered entity to implement internal accounting controls and to reasonably ensure that transactions i) are executed in accordance with the direction of management, ii) are accurately recorded, and that iii) access to company assets is permitted only with management's general or specific authorization.
In reality, the accounting provisions may provide a secondary offense for prosecution charges, and violations thereof may include commercial bribes that would typically fall outside of the 'foreign official' caveat otherwise needed for liability. Accounting provisions violations may result in fines of up to $25 million for a company, and $5 million and/or imprisonment up to 20 years for culpable individuals. The SEC may require a company to turn over all profits on contracts secured by bribes. Strict liability applies in violations of the accounting provision, so that a company or person is held legally responsible for damages or losses caused by its/his/her acts and omissions, regardless of culpability.
Under the Resource Guide to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, jointly published last November by the DOJ and SEC, the exact meaning of 'corrupt intent' remains vague.3 Based on past non-prosecution agreements (NPA) and deferred prosecution agreements (DPA), 'corrupt intent' can apply even if the bribe i) does not succeed in influencing the official, ii) the bribe is not ultimately received, or is only promised, iii) the briber does not know the specific identity of the officials, and iv) the payment is passed through a third party, not directly given to an official.
That being said, if there exists a clear corporate policy that defines bribery as wrong, and that policy has been effectively communicated to all employees, any violation of such policy would constitute a knowing, wrongful act. Companies doing business abroad must have a clear anti-corruption corporate compliance policy as well as an effective training program to convey that policy to employees. If evidence of corporate compliance cannot be shown, companies can be held responsible for the illegal payments and actions of their employees or affiliates.
Following last year's review of the 'neither admit nor deny' clause,4 the SEC has determined that the policy will not apply to cases involving (i) parallel criminal convictions, or (ii) NPAs or DPAs that include the admissions or acknowledgements of criminal conduct. Historically, while the DOJ does not allow the 'neither admit nor deny' defense, it generally charges only foreign subsidiaries. The SEC, which deals more often with U.S. parent companies, is more flexible in its interpretation of the provision.
Chinese criminal law
Chinese anti-corruption governance is comprised of two main parts: PRC Criminal Law and the Anti-Unfair Competition Law (AUCL), which states that business operators5 in China cannot give 'money or things,' (including giving property, promotions, expenses, sponsorships, research expenses, commission, reimbursement of expenses, or kickbacks)6 for the purpose of gaining a competitive advantage. The Communist Party of China (CPC) and the State Council have also issued internal rulings on corruption or bribery of party members and government officials, including the Interim Provisions on the Prohibition of Briberies in Commercial Transactions (Interim Provisions).
While CPC and State Council directives do not create liability for foreign companies, PRC Company Law states that corporate employees who bribe, accept bribes, or embezzle company assets may suffer the confiscation of their illegal income, or sanctions imposed by the company. When such offense encompasses offering money or property to a state functionary for the purpose of securing illegitimate benefits, PRC Criminal Law will also apply.
PRC Criminal Law defines 'state functionaries' as individuals of government agencies who are engaged in public service according to the law. SOE employees or individuals of other enterprises or institutions who are engaged in public service, as well as individuals appointed by government agencies, SOEs, and so on to carry out public service, are also considered state functionaries. For the purposes of the Criminal Law, offering bribes to near relatives of state functionaries, who have interests in common with such state functionary, and through third parties, is also illegal.
Company employees and individuals taking advantage of their position to request or accept a 'relatively large amount of money or goods' are guilty of accepting bribes as 'non-state functionaries' and will be charged as such.
According to the Opinions on Several Issues Concerning Law Application and the Handling of Criminal Commercial Bribery, there are a variety of distinguishing factors between gifts and bribes, including the degree of relationship with the official, value of the good/service given, purpose, timing, and matter of deliver, and whether the recipient has subsequently taken advantage of their position to promote the interests of the giver. In general, bribes are defined by the intention of the giver to get, or the recipient to give, an 'improper gain.7 Lawful discounts, commissions, and 'advertising-related gifts of small value' are all allowed under the AUCL, but said discounts and commissions must be recorded in the company's financial statements. The promise or proposal of offering a bribe does not constitute an offense under Chinese law.
Under the Interim Provisions, 'commercial briberies,' refer to the bribing acts or other means8 of a business offer seeking to sell or purchase commodities from an advantaged position. Acts of bribery include offering rebates which are not recorded in the official company accounts as well as the payment of travel expenses or other benefits. Violations of the Interim Provisions may result in company fines from RMB 10,000 to RMB 200,000, confiscation of illegal earnings, and further potential prosecution under the PRC Criminal Law. Because of complex theories and pre-conditions for charging an entity, Chinese anti-corruption law usually charges individuals.
Charges for giving bribes vary greatly based on the monetary threshold of such bribe or number of personnel to which such bribe is offered, and range from a fixed term imprisonment to life imprisonment and confiscation of property; charges for accepting bribes are generally lower, although state functionaries convicted of accepting 'serious bribes' may receive the death penalty.
U.K. Bribery Act
Accusations by the Chinese investigators and the DOJ and SEC could, if proven, put GSK at risk of prosecution by U.K. authorities under Britain's severe bribery laws at home.
The U.K. Bribery Act makes it illegal to either pay or receive an advantage to/from another person with the intent to: i) induce a person to perform improperly a relevant function or activity, or ii) reward a person for the improper performance of a relevant function or activity. The Bribery Act applies to the bribery of both public and private persons, and covers U.K. nationals, U.K. residents, and organizations which are either established in the U.K. or conduct business in the U.K. It should be noted that a corporate compliance policy which satisfies the FCPA may not comply with the U.K. adequate procedures guidance published by the SFO. Corporate offense is based on standards of strict liability, barring a defense of adequate procedures.9 Prosecutors do not have to demonstrate prior knowledge, or 'corrupt intent' on the part of the company or its officials to charge them under the Bribery Act. Recent changes in the SFO have indicated that self-reporting of violations will no longer predispose the SFO to civil remedies. Facilitating payments, or grease payments, although exempt from the FCPA, are prohibited under the Bribery Act.
It is anticipated that starting in early 2014, the SFO may choose to use DPAs to reach financial settlements with companies. Under a DPA, criminal charges may be brought against a company but not proceeded with, provided that the company complies with agreed terms and conditions. Under the Bribery Act, a company might be sentenced to unlimited fines and, if found guilty of corruption, be banned from public contracts in the U.K. Guilty individuals could face up to 10 years in prison.
The Bribery Act contains some of the strictest laws against corruption, but enforcement has been minimal since the act was passed in 2010. No cases have been brought against international actors so far. Although guidance revisions have indicated a tougher stance towards enforcement, the few cases brought against corporate entities ultimately involved charges under previous laws. Still, the SFO has indicated that a number of cases are currently being investigated, and may lead to prosecutions in the future.
Final thoughts
After a review of the anti-corruption laws in China, the U.S., and the U.K., it is clear that the allegations against GSK, if true, may result in serious penalties for the multinational company. GSK's holdings and business are under the jurisdiction of the FCPA, the Bribery Act, and China's anti-corruption laws. The FCPA only prosecutes against the bribery of foreign officials, although the definition of 'foreign official' is more vague than one might imagine, but under Chinese and British laws, GSK senior executives could also be charged for accepting bribes from travel agency middlemen. China and the U.K. also prosecute commercial bribes, while the FCPA only charges for bribes to government officials or other relevant state personnel (see above).
The MPS has declared that the detained GSK executives have made a full confession of their crimes, which may lead to more lenient charges in court. GSK leaders back in the U.K. have also briefed the SFO on their activities in China following the announcement of the Chinese investigation. At the same time, strict revisions to the guidance of both the Bribery Act and the FCPA seem to indicate that cooperation may no longer ensure a more relaxed prosecution in the U.S. or U.K. Companies who find themselves subject to investigations in either of the two countries may need to consider that they can no longer rely on the defense of 'neither admit nor deny' for reduced penalties. In the increasingly complicated environment of multinational corporations and foreign subsidiaries, companies must strengthen efforts in due diligence and transparency to ensure that ethics at the corporate level are translated to ground floor business practices, as it is becoming obvious that parent companies will be held responsible for the actions of local employees and partners.
All three legal codes include criminal and civil penalties for the large-scale bribery, records manipulation, and fraud that GSK executives have confessed to, and as the U.S. and China move forward in their first parallel prosecution case, it is certain that the GSK case will set a precedent for the future interplay of multinational anti-corruption law. Because the U.K. Bribery Act and the Chinese laws and provision against bribery are still relatively untested, the GSK case will also prove instrumental in demonstrating how the new legal codes apply to real world cases.
Observers have repeatedly expressed surprise over the extent and severity of the bribes, with some foreign multinational business advisors worrying that the case against GSK represents the targeting of foreign companies in competition with domestic industry, rather than an overarching crackdown on corrupt practices. In either case, companies planning to invest in China in the future must renew their focus on strengthening international compliance policies to ensure that they are not exposed to similar vulnerabilities. Many observers have noted that the crimes that GSK sales personnel and senior executives are accused of are common practice in China's hyper-competitive pharmaceutical market. However, this case will go some way to defining what practices, common or not, are actually legal in the increasingly stringent anti-corruption laws today.
1 Here, 'issuers' refer to a company listed on a national securities exchange in the U.S. (either stock or American Depository Receipts), or the company's stock trades in the over-the-counter market in the U.S. wherein the company is required to file SEC reports; 'domestic concerns' are broadly defined as a U.S. person or company.
2 'Grease payments' refer to payments used to expedite a routine government action by a foreign official. Examples of routine government action include: 'obtaining permits, licenses, or other official documents to qualify a person to do business,' and scheduling 'inspections related to transit of goods across country.' The grease payment exception is intended to apply to 'largely non-discretionary, ministerial activities performed by mid- or low-level foreign functionaries.' Relying on the FCPA exemption for grease payments may be problematic because such payments may be illegal in the jurisdiction in which they are made. Failing to properly account for grease payments may also count as a violation of the books and records provision.
3 See definition of bribery under 'anti-bribery provision'.
4 The 'neither admit nor deny' clause, often used in corporate law as a quick means of resolving regulatory enforcement penalties through the payment of a fine and a settlement agreement, ensures that a defendant is not required to admit to a regulatory authority's allegations of wrongdoing, but is not permitted to deny the factual allegations set forth in a legal complaint.
5 In the Chinese legal code, business operators are defined as entities and individuals engaged in commercial activities in China, as well as other parties or persons who may impact commercial activities, including commercial entities and for-profit or non-profit entities such as healthcare institutions, schools, etc.
6 The term 'money or things' refers to cash; 'properties or things;' 'proprietary interests' including club membership; cash-equivalent cards; stock options, dividends, or profits without a corresponding investment in the company; reimbursements; and travel expenses; as well as the option to purchase commodities at a price 'obviously' lower than market value or selling commodities above market value; payment for non-existent services such as security investments, financial management, or gambling proceeds, etcetera.
7 If the 'money or things' given to a state functionary has a value of over RMB 10,000 (a 'relatively large amount'), it is classified as a 'kickback' and automatically connotes illegal or malicious bribing intent.
8 The broadness of the term, 'other means,' grants Chinese authorities considerable flexibility in pursing possible commercial bribery actions.
9 If a company has adequate procedures in place designed to prevent persons associated with it from committing bribery, which include competent procedures and targeted risk assessment, it may use the 'adequate procedures' defense if a person associated with the company commits an offense.

I love finding players on the waiver wire and watching their ownership percentage grow. It's one of the best parts about fantasy sports for me. To see a guy go from .05% owned when you pick him up to 100% is a feeling comparable to when my dog sat for the first time on command.
My favorites are the players who don't even have bio pictures when you first pick them up. Michael Fiers was like that and now he should be the NL ROY.
Well, Josh Rutledge has played 38 games in the big leagues and over that time has done nothing but produce. To the tune of a .344 batting average, 19 R, 7 HR, 26 RBI and 5 SB. Project that out for 162 and you have the best shortstop in the game. The problem is, right as Rutledge was about to get to the 100% owned level, he got hurt. A pesky quad injury that put him on the shelf for a few games, then flared up when he tried to come back.
Now Rutledge has been relegated to pinch hitting duties – which he's been amazing at, obviously – hurting his fantasy value and his chances at getting a bio picture.
Last night he pinch hit again for the 7th game in a row. Over those 7 games he's gone 4-7 with a home run, 4 RBI and the most important stat of all – 1 stolen base. Why is the one stolen base the most important? Because it shows that he's finally feeling good enough to max out his quad.
The Rockies have plans for Rutledge. When Tulowitzi returns they are all set to move Rutledge to second and have already had him working out over there.
Right now, Rutledge is owned in about 40% of leagues. Once news comes out that he will be inserted back in the everyday lineup, that number should jump exponentially. Be a trendsetter. Go out and grab him now while you still can. If you need this last week to make the playoffs I can understand waiting. But if you have a spot locked up, or you're in a keeper league and you're already eliminated, pick him up. You won't regret it.

Lykke Li
Costantino interviews the most courageous (and fashionable) Swedish musician
Lykke Li is lucky to be a star in Sweden, a country where young people are savvy and know their music and style.
She is the embodiment of an information-era musician: at only 24 years of age she talks about Alan Vega, Phil Spector and Nico as if they filled the pages of the NME.
Most musicians, when confronted with fashion, like to act disinterested. But not Li, she LOVES fashion and has the irony and intelligence to talk about it without sounding like a commercial starlet.
Black is her colour of choice, and it certainly looks good on her. When you have a pretty 24 year old blond girl wearing Comme Des Garçons it's very different from when a fashion editor does it. While I was talking to her men were doing double-takes, even if she was wearing a baggy deconstructed black leather jacket.
Her favourite designer at the moment is Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy, but she was equally enthusiastic about the Vionnet collection when I introduced her to it on my I-Phone.
Most importantly however she is a capable musician: when I saw her performing her first single Dance, Dance, Dance at the Volvo Subject 60 event it was clear that she'd learned from the early 80s New York sound, be it Tina Weymouth or ESG.
Lykke Li is working on several new projects, an album maybe due out after Christmas and a "surpise-project" for the fall which I know nothing, but am curious, about.
Futhermore in September she will be going to Africa to work on a documentary about Ugandan child soldiers for the hip french website Blogotheque.
Personally I'm afraid of going to Cannes so I admire her for embarking on the Uganda project. I hope her next album is a smashing success too, especially since she's a big fan of The Shangri-Las, one of life's greatest pleasures and something which, unlike courage, we definitely have in common.

On a recent visit to Copenhagen, I made what appeared to be a life changing decision. From now on - I would only partake in the drinking of cocktails - not only for their swanky sophistication, but more for their rich historical, political and cultural importance. These days, we all eat and drink almost anything as it's all largely available, though there would have been a time when what you sipped would have had important ramifications.
Part of my visit to Copenhagen involved a small seminar held at cocktail bar 1105, part of a wider WonderCOOL festival. A small group of us sat around the bar - where Gromit Edvardsen introduced us to the history and make-up of eight key cocktails. Not happy with calling himself a Mixologist - I'll refer to him as the host of the evening.
Naturally, I couldn't tell you all there was to know about every single cocktail, but we started off with Punch. Which funnily enough, both myself and my friend (the only two Britons and Asians present) failed to answer a question about. Typically - we'd associated Punch as a group drink - made for large numbers. I think of grand parties across America and Jamaica - as it turns out - the word comes from the Indian Panch (logic began to kick in). It would originally have been a cocktail of five different flavours, until the British arrived on the scene and quickly adapted it to their own means.
The idea of British and foreign invasion soon came up as a common theme in the development of drinks and drinking habits. Gin and Tonic, now regarded as a typical Highball drink, was in part, regarded as a British invention. Traditional Indian uses of tonic water to cure malaria and nimboo pani to quench ones thirst were quickly adopted and played with to create Gin and Tonic and the first Nimboo cocktails. The former would have been created to make tonic water a little more tolerable; the latter, I'm guessing would have been a good old party drink.
Keeping ingredients fresh was always a tricky business and exporting new and fresh discoveries was difficult. Certain things became expensive, and it was only the rich that were able to drink certain types of cocktails. It is perhaps this that set them apart from regular drinks such as beer and wine - which relied directly on immediately available produce. Moreover the cocktail required a sort of scientific artistry - there was always a blend or temperature that served to best promote a drink's ultimate flavour. Liquors, whiskies, cordials and fruits - could all be combined from various parts of the world and their essence captured between high seas, rough winters and political unrest.
In the west, this resulted in the evolution of the cocktail which eventually became the reserve of the elite until after the war, when more women began to be allowed into bars and the laws of foreign export became more relaxed. The roaring twenties had set a precedent for a strong party culture, which now continues to adapt to political and cultural change throughout the twentieth century. Cobblers are more popular today than they were ten years ago for example. Certain drinks and ways of drinking came in and out of fashion. Occasionally slings, at other times Juleps and most often in summer – cobblers like Mojitos.
While the above set the pattern for what was happening in the west – Indian drinks still remained unchanged throughout this period. Naturally, we continued to utilise different fruit and herbal ingredients – but the incentive had always remained a little different (more medicinal). For me, the ultimate Indian cocktail – is quite simply Chai – or Guava juice as it's made on the streets – mixed in with vodka. The former is not what you'd usually think of as a cocktail – though it does exemplify our ability to take the herbal infusion of tea, milk and spices to a new level. Just think of a Chai based Amaretto and the wonderful possibilities that could present.
While we've made the most of native berries, plants and herbs – other cultures have explored skills better known to them. The distillation and fermentation process for example works best in cultures where the climate is better. The Japanese for example, have become well known for Shochu and Sake, when the truth is the that the north of India, Eastern Europe and a lot of South East Asia – continue to produce good quality rice and barley – yet I've never really had any Punjabi rice wine.
Today, I know that I can go to any reputable bar or hotel and get an internationally recognised drink, or on the same token, ask for a bespoke twist on a well-known favourite. What's more impressive is that Indian restaurants and bars the world-over are now creating their own twists on well known favourites. London's Zenna bar, for example, is an all-out Indian cocktail bar – a truly unique experience. In its creation it exemplifies how the life of the cocktail has come full circle. Of course the above is just scratching the surface of the wonderful world of cocktails – I'm sure there'll be a lot more to sip, learn and share.

In Carrara 30 contemporary artists for the Biennale
The question that opens the Carrara Biennale (from
June 26th to October 31st), "We return to
recognizing ourselves in new monuments?" takes its cue
from the waning days of large, celebrative public
Is it a definitive eclipse? The answer comes from 30 contemporary artists, including Paul McCarthy, Antony Gormley, Yona Friedman, Maurizio Cattelan, Santiago Serra and Monica Bonvicini, as well as many other significant figures from the international sculpture scene - along with up and coming artists like Kristina Norman, Cyprien Gaillard, Rossella Biscotti and Giorgio Andreatta Calò. The artists have been invited to make an evaluation of the surrounding Carrara landscape, to "touch" the everyday reality of the city and land that has witnessed centuries of legendary masters of marble like Michelangelo and Canova.
There hasn't been a lack of controversy however: two of the artists summoned to participate have been repeatedly called desecrating and pleonastic. Maurizio Cattelan proposed that, for the period during the Biennale, the statue honoring Mazzini in the central square of Carrara be substituted with one dedicated to Bettino Craxi. After his idea was rejected, Cattelan decided set his work in the Monumental Cemetary of Marcognano, just outside the city walls. And Paul McCarthy, despite the initial concerns raised by his proposal, actually managed to use 15 tons of travertine stone in order to make an enormous sculpture in the shape of excrement…

The Effects of Exchange Rate Fluctuationson Output and Prices; Evidence From Developing Countries
The paper examines the effects of exchange rate fluctuations on real output and the price level in a sample of 33 developing countries. The theoretical model decomposes movements in the exchange rate into anticipated and unanticipated components. Unanticipated currency fluctuations help to determine aggregate demand through exports, imports, and the demand for domestic currency, and aggregate supply through the cost of imported intermediate goods. Anticipated exchange rate depreciation, through the supply channel, has limited effects on output growth and inflation. Unanticipated currency fluctuations appear more significant, with varying effects on output growth and price inflation across developing countries.

Designed and built by Jacopo Sansovino, with a facade by Palladio, this enchanting Franciscan church is one of Venice's most underappreciated attractions. The Madonna positively glows in Bellini's 1507 Madonna and Saints in the Cappella Santa, just off the flower-carpeted cloister, while swimming angels and strutting birds steal the scene in the delightful Virgin Enthroned, by Antonio da Negroponte (c 1460–70). Bring €0.20 to illuminate them.
Palladio and the Madonna are tough acts to follow, but father-son sculptors Pietro and Tullio Lombardo make their own mark with their 15th-century marble reliefs that recount the lives of Christ and an assortment of saints. Housed in the Cappella Giustiniani, just left of the altar, they are storytelling triumphs. Breezes seem to ripple through carved-marble trees, and lifelike lions seem prepared to pounce right off the wall.
Out the back, the bell tower looks like the long-lost twin of the Campanile di San Marco and, facing north, a couple of steps leading to a portico of classical columns make the campo look like a proper ancient-Roman agora (market place). This makes a sociable setting for Venice's best annual block party, the Festa di Francesco della Vigna, with wine and rustic fare served up in the stately shadow of Palladio; it's usually held the third week in June.

A woman was fired because of her curves.
She's suing them and that's what they deserve.
They said that her large breasts were causing distractions.
Those people are stupid and I can understand the lady's reaction.
They fired her simply because she's hot.
I hope she gets every penny that they've got.

The Mets are a mess. They're 11-26 since the All-Star break and dropped to nine games under .500 for the first time in three years following a 6-2 loss to the Rockies on Tuesday night, which prompted manager Terry Collins to hold a team meeting.
Read game recaps in the Star-Ledger, Daily News, Record and Newsday.
Wednesday's news reports:
• Rookie right-hander Matt Harvey will try to stop the bleeding on Wednesday night, but the biggest news will come before the game when the results of Johan Santana's MRI are expected to be announced.
• If Santana cannot start Thursday afternoon, Colin McHugh has been promoted from Triple-A to the taxi squad to take his place. Adam Rubin has a scouting report on McHugh, who has been described as a "Dillon Gee type" who relies on pinpoint control.
• Kids can attend Thursday afternoon's game for free.
TRIVIA: Chris Young opened Tuesday night's game with four consecutive strikeouts. Who was the last Met to accomplish the feat prior to Young?
Tuesday answer: Jorge Toca and Matt Franco were the players that Bobby Valentine said could play first base in 2000 during his infamous speech at Penn's Wharton School of Business that year.

Facebook's new Graph Search tool will let users delve deeper into what their friends and strangers are interested in.
On the surface, it seems a compelling tool to make sense of nine years of data. But searching certain terms unearths information that can be downright dangerous for those whose profiles turn up in results.
Actual Facebook Graph Searches is a Tumblr started this week by Tom Scott, the man behind Klout parody Klouchebag and this video poking fun at Google Glass. It highlights some absurd searches, but also some where the consequences can be severe.
For example: "Islamic men interested in men who live in Tehran, Iran."
Homosexuality is illegal in Iran, and may be punishable by death. While Scott points out that these men could simply be suggesting that they're interested in meeting men for business purposes, for instance, it's the type of information that would find one under the watchful eye of Iranian authorities.
Even more troubling: There's the option to add a filter to learn their workplaces.
Similarly, a search turns up those in China who like Falun Gong, a banned spiritual practice. Practitioners have been sentenced to labor camps, and many have died. Slightly less important: Facebook is banned in China, although many citizens skirt the regulation.
Viewing the spouses of people who like "prostitutes," or the partners of those who like Ashley Madison (a dating site that encourages members to cheat on their significant others) may lead to some problems at home.
Other higlighted searches include "Mothers of Catholics from Italy who like Durex" (this might cause a fuss at the next mass), "People who like Focus on the Family and Neil Patrick Harris"(there doesn't seem to be any conflict in liking both an anti-gay-marriage group and NPH, who is "very gay and due to be married with kids"), and "Current employers of people who like Racism."
While Graph Search does seem like it has it uses, Scott shows just how powerful it can be in unearthing information some of us may not want the entire world to know about. All the more reason for you to check out your privacy settings.

I have a web application that I host for our customers. Right now we are running about 60 virtual hosts with tens of thousands of hits per day. I've also run stress tests using Jmeter where literally millions of requests are generated. I have never observed a resource leak. This is a common topic in the forum. In almost every instance, it is the application that is leaking resources. Developers should run findbugs: http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/ And PMD http://pmd.sourceforge.net To scan their applications for resource leaks.

If you have visited my profile, you already know that I am working like a travel agent. So, travelling is one of my biggest passion and from one hand I like to help people in making their dreams come true and making their trips, honeymoons special and excited.I like also visiting new places and getting new experience. I have seen many places and now my next step is to see Italy. To try tasty pizza and lasagna, good wine and maybe to feel what is real Italian love. Maybe I can do this together with you, would you like to join me in this romantic trip. Except travelling and learning something new for myself, I enjoy different kinds of sport which help me to be in good shape and have good mood for the rest of the day. Usually after trainings I have great mood for the whole of the day, and what things lift your mood, can you share them with me? So, in general, I can say that I have a lot of interests in my life and I would like to share them with you.More About Me
Darling, can I take few minutes of your time, because I want to be part of your life and now I want to open some of my secrets to you. Be honest, what do you think about me looking on my profile? If you think that I am simple woman like many ladies here, you are wrong, because everyone who knows me closer say that I am a woman from big W. Have you noticed ladies walking along overcrowded street, who have special aura around them? Who can look feminine in any type of clothes, both in sport style and elegant evening dress? Who can charm everyone just with their beautiful sweet voice and tender smile? If you know about what type of woman I am talking now, then you probably understand who I am. I am such woman, with whom you will never be boring or alone. I am the one, who will make your life colorful and special and I am the one, who will show you what means to be real feminine and tender and don�t be afraid of my age. I am like good wine, that becomes better and better. Do you want to taste this wine?Ideal Relationship
Maybe every woman asks herself what man she needs in her life and maybe from being little girl; she has her image of a prince on white horse. So, the same about me. I also have such image, but don�t worry, there is no need to have a white horse to win my heart. I like men who don�t wear masks and who can be just simple in communication and open with their women. There is no need to be Brad Pitt to make me happy. But be sure that I can make Brad Pitt from you. Being open, sincere, honest, friendly, communicate, serious and just be yourself. If you are such man, then I would like to be with you. I will be excited to hear more about you and your life and I am sure that we can be great couple together, right?Looking For An Age Group
