July, 2009Edit
Notice that nice girl at your local mall not wearing pants? Thank Lady Gaga for that. Not since a lace-and-leather-clad Madonna have we seen a pop star rile up the collective conscience the way Gaga did with her debut record, The Fame, last fall. The dance=beat-driven ode to everything we should eschew in '09--excess, celebrity, commercialism--boasted ceiling-smashing hits like "Just Dance" and proved that not only can Gaga sing (as Kanye West says, "She sings as powerful as Bette Midler, play as good as John Legend, and her shows are as cool as Justice's"), she can pen one hell of a slick lyric. "I write about what I know; sex, pornography, art, fame obsession, drugs, and alcohol," says Gaga, born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. Her eccentric persona came by way of a steady migration downtown from Manhattan's Upper West Side, where she grew up; to NYU, where she dropped out; and finally to the Lower East Side, where she performed at clubs while writing songs at Interscope Records for Britney Spears and the Pussycat Dolls, eventually landing her own record deal. The bottle blond, often snapped by the paparazzi in her rotating supply of over-the-top get=ups 00 giant Minnie Mouse bows, red Kewpie-doll lips 00 us a regular in TMZ and in tabloids. We're not saying she doesn't come off as a bit much; when it comes to Gaga, that's the point. "[When I did American Idol] they let me do whatever I wanted. We were like, 'We want 800 pounds of fog and 50 [extra] lights,' and they were into it. They were all about the art."

January, 2010Edit
Lady Gaga is wearing a red dress with a 16-foot-long train. Her nipples, which would otherwise be visible through the dress's lace fabric, are X-ed over with black bandage tape. Her massive halo of white-blond hair is arranged (with the hel of extensions) into an extraordinary amplification of a 1930s bob.
She is performing on the stage of a gilt-encrusted 1849 former synagogue in Manhattan's Lower East Side, the onetime Jewish immigrant tenement neighborhood. This evening, it's serving as the setting for a private concert on Gossip Girl. To reestablish her high school status in college, Blair (Leighton Meester) has managed to nab Gaga as the performer. A year ago, this might have been an almost plausible plotline, since Lady G studied at Tisch School of Arts at New York University for a year in 2003. But by the time you read this, the likelihood of Lady Gaga playing a college mixes, after her first single, "Bad Romance." from last fall's The Fame Monster, became the No.1 iTunes download in two days, is about as slim as peace in the Middle East in our time.
Ra-ra-ah-ah-ah/ Roma Ro-ma-ma/Gaga: She mouths the beguiling hook of her latest hit, her head arched to the synagogue's ceiling, painted blue and dotted with clouds. Wan, milky spots of daylight penetrate high up through yellowed chicken wire glass windows; other than that, the cavelike dark is broken only by Gaga, bathed in that magical, singular aura of the spotlight. As she moves on stage in her "slightly fucked-up," as she describes it, signature stumble dance among three male backup dancers artfully juggling her train, she looks like a luminescent, deranged angel trying to dislodge Lucifer's voice calling in her ear--an angel beneath an artificial blue sky, very, very far from anything that might be called a state of nature.
A gaggle of lucky extras have been let in to watch her from their holding pen outside. "Oh my God, she's amazing!" says one young man from South Carolina, wearing a fedora.
"I love her soooo much!" says his female friend, another hopeful also from the South.
"Can you believe she's only 23?" he asks.
The second-to-last scenelet of this elaborately choreographed number requires that Lady Gaga step onto a pedestal, not easy with a train and megaplatforms. Her dancers pull her long skirt, rotating her on the life-size lazy susan, and it wraps around her feet until it looks like blood-red seafoam. She strikes a demure pose invoking Venus (Botticelli's and photographer David LaChapelle's, she later tells me).
It's an apt reference. Just as the goddess of love arose from the ocean a fully formed dewy beauty, married off by Jupiter to cheer up Vulcan, the depressed patron of ironwork and blacksmiths, so has Lady Gaga, our value-added new pop star, seemed to arrive from nowhere, not exactly dewy, but, to use one of her favorite words, shiny, to give a depressed, industrialized globe supercatchy, highly danceable songs plus a more-than-we-bargained-for arsenal of outrageous costumes; fixating, idea-laden videos; claims to performance art; and gay rights activism.
Lady Gaga is a phenomenon, a fame-nomenon. Her debut album, The Fame, came out on Interscope in 2008. The 14 songs are, with the exception of the ballad "Brown Eyes," beat-driven dance music. Their electroclash, '80s synth influences and looping drum machines are sounds you were more likely to hear on the European charts than on the hip-hop- and R&B-driven U.S. counterparts. But in Europe, those kinds if songs tend to be one-shot deals, whereas The Fame follows the '70 album-oriented rock model: It's a carefully composed whole; each song in its own tight event. So tight that single after single, "Just Dance," "Poker Face," "LoveGame," and "Paparazzi"-- all became international hits, producing more No.1 Billboard Pop Songs chart singles than any other album in history. And unlike many other young stars, Gaga is not just a cute singer with nice pipes at the front of a slick, hyperproduced packaging machine. She writes her own songs, plays her own keyboard, and--this is harder than it sounds--doesn't lip-synch her live concerts. The Fame has sold nearly 5 million copies worldwide; its new rerelease, The Fame Monster is on the verge of hitting stores as this article goes to press, and if the megareception for "Bad Romance," one of the CD's eight original bonus tracks, including the hilarious "Telephone," featuring Beyonce, about trying to escape cell phone calls, is any indication, it's going to be a monster. By bringing dance music to the mainstream pop scene, gaga "has changed the landscape of music on American radio," says media blogger and happily obsessed Gagalyte Perez Hilton. "When she released 'Just Dance' in April 2008, that kind of music wasn't played on the radio. Now it's everywhere." Hilton's was one of the first media vehicles to support her, by posting that single's video and later making accusations that Christina Aguilera was copying Gaga.
More than that, Hilton continues, "She made pop music exciting again, in a way that I, as an intent observer of pop culture, haven't experienced since Madonna. Exciting and dangerous. She plays by her own rules." What Hilton is referring to are the singer's nonstop feats of theater. Lady Gaga, christened Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta in 1986, collaborates with a creative team called Haus of Gaga, a group of stylists, fashion designers, producers, and her choreographer, Laurieann Gibson, to remix art, fashion, modern dace, and musical references into her scandalous live shows and videos.
Some of the highlights include her performance at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards (she won Best New Artist), for which she wore a dress that exploded fake blood, and the scenes in her videos in which she rises from a wheelchair to walk after removing her leg braces ("Paparazzi") and smokes in bed next to a skeleton ("Bad Romance"). Not to mention her always outlandish hairdos--extensions woven into a brown elephant atop her head, or a gold unicorn horn--or the sparkler cone bustier in which she ended her appearance on the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto.
Gaga often plays with gender roles, aping transvestites and toying with multiple boys, or wears extreme makeup and accessories (a poodle purse made of fake blond hair) to undercut the "I'm hot" message that her very revealing ensembles send. It's this quality of half showbiz, half art biz that has pushed her impact to the fashion realm (her "Bad Romance" video features Alexander McQueen designs) and the highbrown art world. Miuccia Prada made her dress for a recent performance at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles; conceptual artist Damien Hirst of formaldehydeshark fame designed her piano. It's also why she has the literati debating questions such as: Just how smart is Lady Gaga? Her music fun candy, but her message is deeper. Or is it? Does she really do it all herself? Is she the next Madonna, the next Kylie Minogue, or the next David Bowie, whom she claims to aspire to be? Is she really only 23> Is she actually a hermaphrodite?
Clearly, with the whole globe delighting in her music, or at least scratching their heads and pausing, Lady Gaga has het the triple-cherry culture-jam jackpot. But, of course, she didn't spring from the ocean, fully formed. She's been working her ass (which, despite comments from herself and others about curves, is, these days, anyway, tiny) off for this since she was four years old and learning piano by ear.
One thing you need to know about Lady Gaga to understand her is that she grew up in Manhattan. Children brought up on that skyscraper-barnacled, 1.6-million-scurrying-people-populated, 13-mile-long island are different from you and me. For developing selves in those man-made steel-and-concrete canyons, a compression happens, of neurosis, of vision, of ambition, of cultural and carnal knowledge, of fashion information. There is often a concomitant value confusion that leads to a premature world-weariness. (Love? Money? Fame? Art? The right boots? It;s all so much closer to them but just as far as it is for anyone else. Crazy-making.)
Lady Gaga wants to meet me for Sunday breakfast at the Westside Restaurant on the 69th and Broadway to show me where she grew up. She lived with her first-generation Italian-American parents, and then a sister, younger by six years, in an apartment on the Upper West Side, a few blocks from here. She went to the all-girls Catholic school Convent of the Sacred Heart. She and her friends, when they weren't studying--the school is notoriously rigorous--hung out here. Westside Restaurant is a traditional Greek diner (New York institutions called Greek not because they serve much Mediterranean food--they serve primarily the same classic American food as truck-stop diners--but because they are owned by Greek immigrants). The place is teeming with old ladies, joggers, and dads with their kids, and they don't take reservations, so I have to order to keep my table. By the time I see the telltale chauffeured black Escalade SUV outside, I've already finished my food.
"Sorry, it's so impolite," I say to Lady Gaga, who has arrived in a relatively subdued and entirely of-the-moment outfit: men's vintage YSL overcoat, beneath which is an incredibly good vintage Thierry Mugler score, an early-'90s black peak-shouldered and lapelled coatdress, worn with gray suede YSL narrow-wedge-heeled platforms. Her only outre Gaga-isms are her wolf-spider false eyelashes, top and bottom, and perhaps her new puppy, a Shiba Inu, in a carrying case that must be hurriedly hidden under the table. She elicits barely a glance from the diners.
"Please, I'm Italian; I'm glad you ate," she replies, then leans over, scopes my almost-bare plate, and guesses, accurately, "Two poached eggs, hash browns, and whole-wheat toast."
Her early CV includes several waitressing gigs, and her easy camaraderie with the staff, who recognize her as a regular as well as a famous face, is not that of a star being faux down-to-earth, but someone who not all that long ago did her time at restaurant jobs. "I was really good at it. I always wore heels to work!" she says. "I told everybody stories, and for customers on dates, I kept it romantic. It's kind of like performing."
Lady Gaga has always wanted to be an entertainer. The enviornment her Catholic father and Methodist mother created was, she says, "traditional yet psychologically progressive." Her father is an entrepreneur who now runs a business selling Wi-Fi to hotels. Her mom also worked, in telecommunications. They were wealthy enough to afford Sacred Heart (alums include Caroline Kennedy and Nicky Hilton), but by New York standards, they were comfortable, not rich. Although she's always had and expressive, free spirit ("I'm left-handed!" she says), she was a focused student and a self-professed music geek, performing in school plays and practicing piano for two hours a day, with much parental encouragement.
At one point in our conversation, I ask if she ever experiences stress somatically. In a perfect New Yawk accent,, she sings, "Psychosomatic symptoms, difficult to endure..."--a lovely rendition of "Adelaide's Lament" from Guys and Dolls as only a twentysomething with a history of Broadway-leading-lady yearning could.
She does, in fact, have bodily reactions. "I get all the symptoms of a pregnant woman," she says, explaining that it's as though she's always about to give birth. "I get headaches, I get tired, I get blurred vision sometimes during a really intense session with the Haus."
It took a while to find this fertile ground, though. She was accepted at 17 to the elite Tisch, but dropped out after a year to try to make it as an artist. Her father helped her with a couple months' rent for a Lower East Side walk-up while she got a job but then made her fend for herself. She floundered around in musical genres for awhile; she played in a hard-rock band, and there are YouTube clips of her doing a Fiona Apple-esque girl-and-her-keyboard number at the local club the Bitter End. Then she started hanging out with artists, and her persona began to gel. She met producer Rob Fusari (of Destiny's Child "Bootylicious" fame). who gave her her name: she reminded him of the Queen song "Radio Ga Ga." (The fact that Gaga saw the potential in this odd moniker, with its dual meaning of baby talk and adoration, and then actually brought it into a world of Taylors and Christinas, speaks to her confidence in her own indiosyncratic vision.) She played with a performance-art DJ named Lady Starlight and added burlesque elements to her stage show that included lighting her G-string on fire. At the 2007 Lollapalooza, she was hired as a side act and played her keyboard in a bikini.
She had a period of what she considers addictive cocaine use, but she stopped with help from her family. A deal between Gaga and Def Jame ended after six months, it seems because they didn't understand each other. Then Vincent Herbert, a producer who has worked with Stevie Wonder and Destiny's Child and whose Streamline label is distributed through Interscope, saw a video of Gaga performing "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich." He flew her to L.A., and in 24 hours, she was signed. The Fame was born.
At Interscope, she also wrote material for other artists, including the Pussycat Dolls, New Kids on the Block, and a song for Britney Spears that made it onto the European iTunes version of Circus.
"When Vincent Herbert walked her into my office,' recalls Interscope chairman Jimmy Iovine, "she still had brown hair. She played me a couple songs. Herbert said she wrote them and played the piano. I said, 'I know this girl!' I mean, I didn't know her, but I knew Jewish or Italian girls from Manhattan who wrote songs. She's like carole King and Cynthia Weil; she's as much a Brill Building songwriter as a pop icon. She's great live, great singer, a great songwriter, and a hard worker."
but, as Iovine points out, even with a well-produced, heavily promoted record, Lady Gaga still had to hustle. "Radio stations didn't want to play 'Just Dance.' The style of the beat wasn't what they were playing at the time. but she did a lot otftours, club promotion, we promoted her videos." As soon as New York's influential Z100 played her, it all came together. Hilton describes how only months before, he'd wanted her to play his Fourth of July party at Prive in Las Vegas, and the club almost refused because they'd never heard of her.
One of the most fascinating things about Lady Gaga is the way in which she's determined to mastermind or outwit the media forces that seem to eat young talent for breakfast and spit them out after lunch. Calling the album The Fame is a ballsy move, one that delivered in meta-spades, since what presupposed her fame accomplished it. A theme she revisits in her videos and songs is herself as somehow destroyed and resurrected. "I feel that if I can show my demise artistically to the public, i can somehow cure my own legend. I can show you so you're not looking for it. I'm dying for you on domestic television--here's what it looks like, so no one has to wonder." Of course we still will.
A salient memory at Sacred Heart for Lady Gaga was the day she was told to change her shirt. She and one of her best friends were wearing an approved white crewneck, but Gaga's chest was bigger. A teacher told her it was inappropriate. "We're wearing the same shirt! she says. "I was so angry. Why didn't she get in trouble but I did? Because I walk around with my shoulders back and head held high? If I was to slouch, would that be more appropriate?"
She uses her sexuality, she says, as part of her art and believes other women "should not be like me but be whoever they want to be. My album covers aren't sexual at all, which was an issue at my record label. I fought for months, and I cried at meetings. They didn't think the photos were commercial enough. 'We can't see your whole face, we can't see your whole body, it's too dark, it's not pretty,' " she says. "But you know, I can be whoever the fuck I want to be. That's what artists do. We choose what you see and we tell a story. And the last thing a young woman needs is another picture of a sexy pop star writhing in the sand, covered in grease, touching herself."
The cover of The Fame shows her face in close-up, with a bleached blond bob and black ski-style sunglasses, but she looks like a beautiful starlet behind them. Her skin is glowing, and her lips are shiny in nude, Jennifer Lopez– esque lipstick. It's hard to believe that this is what passes as noncommercial in female selfrepresentation for record-label executives. But there it is.
Let's keep in mind that when Saturday Night Live was given the opportunity to write something funny for both Gaga and Madonna, two of the smartest and wittiest popular musicians around, what they came up with was an unfunny, demeaning had it not been so stupid, skit in which they catfight with each other in bustiers. This is the same media environment that, in all seriousness, took up the rumor that Lady Gaga was a hermaphrodite, ostensibly because of some puffy underwear under a minidress, but surely because she's someone who uses transvestite idioms; speaks about her bisexuality; offered up her VMA award to "the gays"; and announced at the National Equality March in DC that she wouldn't rest until there was no homophobia in the music industry. ("Well, I do have a really big donkey dick," she told British TV host Jonathan Ross in response to a question about the tabloid speculation, while fellow guest Hugh Jackman cracked up in the background. "My beautiful vagina is very offended," became her refreshing stock reply.)
When I ask about her attraction to women and try to get her to tell me which female performers would be her dream conquests, she says, "That's difficult for me to answer. It trivializes being bisexual." She'll only mention her current nonsexual idol, Yoko Ono, who thrilled Gaga by sending her an appreciative message after hearing her perform "Imagine" before the rally.
Whatever claims to alternative sexual leanings Lady Gaga might make (her song "So Happy I Could Die" is about masturbating while thinking about a woman), her vision for her own romantic future is pretty straight right now. She's currently single and says, "I'm married to my dad." A few days before we meet, her father, Joe Germanotta, had successful heart surgery. He's only 52, and his fairly sudden coronary problems have rocked her to the core. "I just wanted to have him walk me down the aisle and hold my babies," she told me over the phone from the hospital the day after his operation.
Have babies? Given away by her father? The same Lady Gaga who said of a rumor about a boyfriend getting jealous when she necked with Swedish boy triplets in a video, "Then they shouldn't be my boyfriend."
"Of course, yeah. I mean, not tomorrow! But in eight to 10 years, I want to have babies for my Dad to hold, grandkids. And I want to have a husband who loves and supports me, just the way anyone else does," she says. Though she adds, "I would never leave my career for a man right now, and I would never follow a man around." When Gaga is in town from L.A., where (she oft laments) she's had to relocate for work, she stays at the family apartment. Perhaps not coincidental for this self-professed daddy's girl, Gaga's righthand man in the Haus, and her best guy friend, Matthew Williams, is called Dada.
Lady Gaga's father does sound lovingly supportive. But one anecdote seems telling. Gaga didn't take a shower for days while she and her mom and sister took turns beside his hospital bed. In recovery he looked at her and said, "Hey, kid, you know, you got a reputation to uphold. Why don't you go home, take a shower, brush your hair, and put some makeup on? I know it'll make you feel better." I wonder if maybe she wanted permission to be ungroomed while she processed this tumultuous episode. But she reads it as a sign of selfless love. "I went home and put some lipstick on, came back. And he said, 'There she is, there's my girl.' "
While undoubtedly she's right, his consistency and her parents' strong marriage, about which she says, "I'm just mesmerized," is one great version of love, one that has given her the discipline and courage to develop the Gaga event. But it's probably also part of her private struggle, as it always is for daughters brought up to think for themselves, who still want their father's approval and love. "Marilyn, Judy, Sylvia," she calls out in "Dance in the Dark."

We've been summoned into her presence and here she is. Beneath a paper-thin Simone Rocha dress, she is stark naked. Racks of clothes are available for this shoot. Thirty pairs of shoes are on offer. Hats, accessories, acres of jewellery. And she's chosen to wear a lace skirt as a mask, a cropped platinum wig, a veil of transparent green tulle pretending to be a dress, and underneath it…nothing. In about three minutes Lady Gaga will absent-mindedly pull on the tiny white thong that's laying on the floor by her ankles, but for now not one portion of her frame is left to the imagination.

Description: "Exotic...erotic... Ocean Sea is highly romantic and breathtakingly lyrical."--The New York Times Book Review With Silk, his first novel to appear in English, Alessandro Baricco immediately proved himself to be a magical storyteller. With Ocean Sea, he has been acclaimed as the successor to Italo Calvino, and a major voice in modern literature. In Ocean Sea, Alessandro Baricco presents a hypnotizing postmodern fable of human malady--psychological, existential, erotic--and the sea as a means of deliverance. At the Almayer Inn, a remote shoreline hotel, an artist dips his brush in a cup of ocean water to paint a portrait of the sea. A scientist pens love letters to a woman he has yet to meet. An adulteress searches for relief from her proclivity to fall in love. And a sixteen-year-old girl seeks a cure from a mysterious condition which science has failed to remedy. When these people meet, their fates begin to interact as if by design. Enter a mighty tempest and a ghostly mariner with a thirst for vengeance, and the Inn becomes a place where destiny and desire battle for the upper hand. Playful, provocative, and ultimately profound, Ocean Sea is a novel of striking originality and wisdom.

A short, stubby man encircles a flower stem of a girl in towering heels, waterfall hair and a dress so short it barely registers. When his car, a black Lamborghini, arrives, she slides in with a toss of her locks. He takes the wheel and roars away, too fast, too loud for a small London lane.
That was the start of a recent lesson in hedonism, à la contemporary Britain; it took place outside of Loulou's, the latest private club to invigorate an institution that has long defined English society. Opened in July, 2012, Loulou's has quickly become the place to go for anything from breakfast to a dance in the disco. Prince William, Kate Moss, Mick Jagger, Daphne Guinness and Downton Abbey star Michelle Dockery have all come, along with politicians and hedge-fund billionaires. One story circulates of an Indian tycoon who dropped a $16,000 tip. On the night I went for dinner recently, Galen and Hilary Weston slipped out of a limousine and into the club, housed in an 18th-century townhouse in Mayfair.
But it isn't just the members and guests who make the place noteworthy. (Paparazzi wait outside every night to see who might emerge.) To enter it is to penetrate someone's rich, lurid imagination. (That someone is Rifat Ozbek, a Turkish fashion designer known for his exotic, ethnically inspired clothing. He had never designed an interior before and was hired on the strength of his pillows. I kid you not – more on that later.) Inside Loulou's, gossip fills the air, making occupants feel part of a whispered conspiracy – and some of the stories include the ambition behind the club itself. It is the manifestation of one man's revenge.
Robin Birley, the founder, comes from a family marred by tragedy, betrayal and court battles. His late father, Mark, was the legendary founder of the famous nightclub Annabel's, named for his wife. She later left him for Sir James Goldsmith, the financier and a friend of Birley's, with whom she had had an affair (and two children while she was still married). As a 12-year-old boy, Robin Birley was mauled by a tiger in a zoo, a trauma that left him disfigured even after 57 operations. In 1986, his elder brother, Rupert, drowned at the age of 30 while swimming off the coast of West Africa.
At the time of his father's death, Robin Birley was no longer on speaking terms with him. Before he died in 2007, the elder Birley sold Annabel's (and other clubs) to the clothing magnate Richard Caring for $140-million. Robin was cut out of his father's will and only later got a chunk in an out-of-court settlement. Although he had once run Annabel's, he was also prevented from having anything to do with the clubs.
Named after Loulou de la Falaise, the muse of Yves Saint Laurent and Birley's late aunt, Loulou's was subsequently created at a cost of nearly $45-million. Ozbek, whose clothing designs make a woman look like she does little else besides eat caviar and drape herself across divans, is the sort of man who can turn a cushion into a sexy, must-have accessory (which he has done, starting about eight years ago, through a store called Yastik, Turkish for pillow).
Made of silk, cotton and velvet, Ozbek's cushions have sprigs of lavender inside "as a signature," a Yastik shop assistant tells me. They cost approximately $400 to $1,500 each. "Just like a small brooch can uplift a dress, cushions are the brooches of sofas," Ozbek has pronounced. It was on the strength of these pillows that Robin Birley, a 55-year-old rarely seen without his two whippets, asked him to give his club an interior so extravagant it could strut its stuff on a fashion runway.
Did he succeed? Upon entering Loulou's, a sweep of stairs invites you up to the second floor for a drink in one of the interlinking drawing rooms. Taking a seat in one of them is like wearing a classic Chanel suit, producing that feeling of being encased in a perfectly tailored garment. No detail, from the braided tassles on the curtains to velvet piping on the crisp, plump sofas, has been overlooked.
But if the upstairs is an exercise in pretty, pristine classicism, the lower level is like YSL on acid. Behind a thick velvet curtain and down a narrow staircase, a giraffe head and neck rise out of the floor. At one end, a bar made out of hundreds of pale, luminous shells looks like something Neptune might have ordered up to lure a a mermaid, of which there are several. At the other end are plush velvet catacombs of private womb-like spaces. Butlers, dressed in understated uniforms of chocolate brown, warn people politely not to take photos.
The dining room pulls you in like the embrace of a voluptuous woman dressed in dark, silky animal prints. Down another passageway, in a diminutive disco, small, jewel-encrusted Buddha heads revolve slowly in each corner, a wink to Damien Hirst's diamond skull perhaps, only jollier.
Certain people say that Loulou's is a welcome throwback to the old-fashioned club, a place of careful interiors for the carefully invited and a celebration of reductive society – the world's 0.01 per cent. Birley reportedly vets each applicant himself and once returned the cheque of a billionaire he deemed unsuitable.
And in many ways, Loulou's does reference the past, although it's uncertain if it does so ironically. During my visit, I venture into the ladies' washroom, a place of low, rounded ceilings, deep-red tapestried walls and individual ornate mirrors on marble-top tables. It looks, I think, like a prostitute's boudoir – which is perfect, really. This part of Mayfair and in fact this townhouse were once known for their pleasures of the night – and I'm not talking about expensive wine and pasta.Report Typo/Error

OBJECTIVE—The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of circulating resistin levels in the development of type 2 diabetes using two prospective cohorts of well-characterized men and women.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—We conducted two prospective case-control studies nested in the Women's Health Study (WHS) and Physicians' Health Study II (PHS II). In the WHS, during a median of 10-years of follow-up, 359 postmenopausal women, who were apparently healthy at baseline and later developed type 2 diabetes, were prospectively matched with 359 healthy control subjects. In the PHS II, with 8 years of total follow-up, 170 men, who were apparently healthy at baseline and later developed type 2 diabetes, were matched with 170 healthy control subjects. Control subjects were matched by age, race, and time of blood draw.
RESULTS—Resistin levels at baseline were significantly higher in women than in men (P = 0.003) and in case patients than in control subjects for both women (P < 0.001) and men (P = 0.07). After adjustment for matching factors, physical activity, alcohol intake, smoking, and family history of diabetes, the relative risk of type 2 diabetes comparing the highest to the lowest quartile of resistin in women was 2.22 ([95% CI 1.32–3.73]; Ptrend = 0.002). This association was attenuated after further adjustment for BMI (1.51 [0.86–2.65]; Ptrend = 0.20) or C-reactive protein (1.18 [0.68–2.07]; Ptrend = 0.60). A similar but weaker pattern was observed in men.
CONCLUSIONS—Elevated levels of circulating resistin were significantly related to increased risk of type 2 diabetes, which appears to be partially accounted for by adiposity and the inflammatory process.
Resistin (also known as adipocyte-secreted factor), an adipocyte-derived hormone, may serve as a critical molecular link between obesity and insulin resistance (1–3). Obese and diabetic mice exhibit high levels of resistin. In murine models, functional reductions in resistin protein (e.g., anti-resistin antibodies, resistin gene knockouts) have been demonstrated to improve insulin sensitivity as well as to decrease blood glucose (2–4), free fatty acid (2), and triglyceride levels (2). A reduction in the amount of functional resistin also increases adipocyte differentiation and adipose mass (2), which can be reversed upon administration of recombinant resistin (4).
In humans, however, the contribution of resistin to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes remains elusive. Plasma resistin levels have been observed to be higher in diabetic individuals than in apparently healthy individuals (5–7). In addition, thiazolidinedione therapy lowered plasma resistin levels in clinical trials (8,9). However, the primary source of resistin in rodents is adipocytes, whereas the major source in humans has been shown to be macrophages (10,11), suggesting species-specific physiological effects. To this end, prospective data are needed in well-defined populations to examine the association of circulating levels of resistin with the incident diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.
Therefore, we conducted two case-control studies nested within two large, prospective cohorts, the Women's Health Study (WHS) and the Physicians' Health Study II (PHS II), to investigate the associations of plasma resistin levels with type 2 diabetes risk in men and women. We also explored the potential role of BMI and inflammatory markers on the association between resistin and type 2 diabetes.
The WHS is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2 × 2 factorial trial of low-dose aspirin and vitamin E for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease and cancer. The original study consisted of 39,876 U.S. female health professionals aged ≥45 years (mean age 53.9 years at baseline) who were free of diabetes, cancer (except nonmelanoma skin cancer), and cardiovascular disease at baseline (12,13). Of the original 39,876 participants, baseline blood samples were obtained from 28,345 participants (71%). We restricted our population to 6,574 postmenopausal women who were not using hormone replacement therapy at the time of blood collection. Women who had developed incident diabetes during a median follow-up of 10 years (by February 2005) were matched in a 1:1 ratio to control subjects by age (within 1 year), duration of follow-up (within 1 month), race, and fasting status at time of blood draw (72% provided fasting blood samples, defined as ≥10 h since the last meal). On the basis of these eligibility criteria, a total of 359 case patients and 359 control subjects were included in our analyses from the WHS.
The PHS II is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 factorial trial of vitamin E, vitamin C, β-carotene, and multivitamins in the prevention of cardiovascular disease and cancer in 14,641 U.S. male physicians aged ≥55 years who were free of cancer and cardiovascular disease at baseline (14). Baseline blood samples were obtained from 11,130 (76%) of the 14,641 PHS II participants. For each incident case occurring during 8 years of follow-up, one appropriate control subject was selected at random from men who provided baseline blood samples at the time of diagnosis in the case patient. In total, 170 case patients were matched with 170 control subjects by age (within 1 year), race, duration of follow-up (within 1 month), and time of blood draw.
Written informed consent was obtained from all participants in both the WHS and PHS II. Both studies were conducted according to the ethics guidelines of Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and the UCLA institutional review board.
Details regarding ascertainment of incident type 2 diabetes in our cohorts have been reported previously (15). After excluding those with diabetes at baseline, all participants were asked annually whether and when they had a diagnosis of diabetes since baseline. With use of the diagnostic criteria of the American Diabetes Association, (16), all self-reported cases of type 2 diabetes were confirmed by a supplemental questionnaire. In populations of health professionals such as the WHS and PHS II, self-reported diagnosis of diabetes yields high validity in identifying true cases. As confirmation, a small validation study was conducted, in which self-reported diabetes in the WHS was validated against physician-led telephone interviews, supplementary questionnaires, and medical record reviews, all yielding positive predictive values >91% (17).
Blood samples were centrifuged and stored in liquid nitrogen freezers. Matched case-control pairs were handled identically and assayed in random order in the same analytical run in each cohort. Laboratory personnel were blinded to case-control status during all assays. A1C was measured using a Food and Drug Administration–and U.S. National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program–approved immunoassay (Hitachi 911; Roche Diagnostics), as described previously (18). Plasma levels of resistin were measured by ELISA (ALPCO Diagnostics, Windham, NH). The assay has a sensitivity of 0.2 ng/ml and day-to-day variabilities of the assay at concentrations of 8.95 and 13.08 ng/ml are 8.9 and 7.4%, respectively. Tumor necrosis factor-α receptor II (TNF-RII) was also measured by ELISA (R&D Systems). The day-to-day variabilities of the assay at concentrations of 89.9, 197.0, and 444.0 pg/ml are 5.1, 3.5, and 3.6%, respectively. As described previously (19), C-reactive protein (CRP) (performed in the WHS only) was assayed using validated methods at a certified laboratory; the average intra-assay coefficient of variation for CRP was 7.8% and the inter-assay coefficients of variations were 2.5 and 5.1%.
Biomarker values were log-transformed in all analyses to enhance compliance with normality assumptions. Baseline characteristics between case patients and matched control subjects were compared using McNemar's χ2 test for categorical variables and a paired t test for continuous variables. Age- and/or BMI-adjusted partial correlation coefficients were estimated to evaluate associations between plasma resistin levels and traditional metabolic risk factors among control subjects. We reported regression estimates after multiple imputation of missing values using the ICE and MIM procedures in STATA 10.0. Variables with the largest number of missing variables were BMI (n = 12) and multivitamin use (n = 11).
To assess the resistin–type 2 diabetes association, we analyzed the WHS and PHS II data sets separately using conditional logistic regression with robust variance estimators. The levels of resistin were categorized into quartiles based on their distributions among control subjects. Conditional logistic regression was applied to estimate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% CI for type 2 diabetes risk in each quartile using the lowest quartile as the referent category. Because risk set sampling was used for our matched case-control pairs, the ORs yielded unbiased estimates of the relative risk (RR), specifically, the rate ratio. Tests of linear trends across increasing quartiles of resistin levels were conducted by assigning the median values within quartiles treated as a continuous variable. We also estimated the RR per 1 SD increase in log-transformed resistin levels, assuming a linear relationship. The following models were prespecified in this analysis. The basic model (model 1) was adjusted for matching factors (age, ethnicity, and fasting status at time of blood draw). The full model (model 2) was further adjusted for established type 2 diabetes risk factors of smoking (current or former/never), alcohol use (<3 drinks/month, 1–6 drinks/week, or ≥1 drink/day), physical activity (<1, 1–3, or ≥4 times/week), and family history of diabetes in a first-degree relative (yes/no). In model 3, we additionally adjusted for BMI (continuous) in the full model to assess the impact of BMI on the resistin–type 2 diabetes association. In model 4, we further adjusted the full model for CRP, but because CRP was not available in the PHS II data set, we adjusted the full model for TNF-RII in the PHS II data set as a surrogate marker for CRP; the Pearson's correlation between TNF-RII and CRP was r = 0.28 in the WHS data set, consistent with findings in other populations. Model 5 was the same as model 4 with the addition of BMI as a covariate.
Because there was insufficient statistical evidence to suggest that the resistin–type 2 diabetes association differed by sex, we subsequently performed subgroup analyses in the pooled data set to examine potential effect modification by levels of prespecified risk factors: sex (male or female), BMI (normal/underweight, overweight, or obese), age (<60 or ≥60 years), family history of diabetes in a first-degree relative (yes/no), physical activity (<1, 1–3, or ≥4 times/week), alcohol intake (<3 drinks/month, 1–6 drinks/week, or ≥1 drink/day), smoking status (nonsmoker, former smoker, or current smoker), A1C (less than median or more than or equal to median), and TNF-RII (less than median or more than or equal to median). The statistical significance of these interactions was tested by using a Wald test (for variables with two levels) or a χ2 test for homogeneity (for variables with more than two levels) of the pooled estimates of the interaction terms.
We performed additional sensitivity analyses to assess the robustness of our estimates. First, we conducted a series of analyses to address the concern that underdiagnosed type 2 diabetes may have biased our findings. In one analysis we excluded diabetes case patients (and their matched control subjects) in whom diabetes was diagnosed within the first 3 years of follow-up (154 women and 148 men excluded). In another analysis we excluded case patients who had elevated risks of developing type 2 diabetes at baseline (defined by A1C >6.5% and BMI >30 kg/m2 at baseline) (462 women and 172 men excluded). Second, we evaluated the influence of adjusting for A1C in our estimates. Third, because CRP was only measured in the WHS, we assessed the influence of adjusting for another inflammatory marker (alone and with BMI), TNF-RII, which was measured in both data sets. Last, we assessed the influence of using a different measure of adiposity by adjusting for waist circumference (instead of BMI); however, waist circumference was only measured in the WHS and was collected 72 months after baseline. Thus, we adjusted for waist circumference in the WHS, adjusted for BMI in the PHS II, and pooled the estimates. All analyses were conducted using Stata 10.0 (StataCorp, College Station, TX).
Compared with control subjects, patients with incident cases of type 2 diabetes had a greater proportion of traditional risk factors at baseline (Table 1). In both men and postmenopausal women, case patients had higher values than control subjects for BMI, proportion with a family history of diabetes, TNF-RII (and CRP, but only measured in women), A1C, and resistin levels. Interestingly, resistin levels were significantly higher in women than in men (geometric mean 11.89 ± 1.81 vs. 10.27 ± 1.87 ng/ml, respectively; P = 0.003).
Correlation coefficients between resistin levels and several metabolic measures are displayed in Table 2. BMI was poorly correlated with plasma resistin in men (r = 0.08, P = 0.30) and moderately correlated in women (r = 0.26, P < 0.001). The strongest correlations were between resistin and inflammatory markers (TNF-RII and/or CRP), which remained positive even after adjustment for age and BMI (TNF-RII in PHS II: r = 0.29, P < 0.001; TNF-RII in WHS: r = 0.28, P < 0.001; and CRP in WHS: r = 0.19, P < 0.001).
In women, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes among participants categorized in the highest quartile of plasma resistin was significantly higher than that of participants in the lowest quartile (RR 2.35 [95% CI 1.50–3.69]; Ptrend < 0.001) after controlling only for matching factors (Table 3). This association was similar after additional controls for traditional diabetes risk factors were added (2.22 [1.32–3.73], Ptrend = 0.002). However, further adjustment for BMI dramatically attenuated the association (1.51 [0.86–2.65], Ptrend = 0.20). The additional adjustment for inflammatory markers led to an even greater attenuation of the association.
In men, after controlling only for matching factors, there was a trend toward a positive association between resistin levels and type 2 diabetes risk (RR 1.53 [95% CI 0.82–2.85], Ptrend = 0.09, comparing the highest with the lowest quartiles), although it was not statistically significant (Table 3). This nonsignificant association was virtually unchanged after additional adjustment for traditional diabetes risk factors and further attenuated with the additional adjustment for BMI.
Differences in RRs between men and women were not statistically significant in any of the models we examined; thus, we pooled the estimates from both men and women to increase statistical precision in the RR estimates. Our subgroup analyses revealed no substantial evidence for the presence of significant heterogeneity among the prespecified type 2 diabetes risk factor variables that we examined for potential effect modification of the RRs (see supplemental Table A1, available in an online appendix at http://cdx.doi.org/10.2337/dc08-1625).
The sensitivity analyses assessing the influence of underdiagnosed cases showed overall trends that were similar to our main results (see supplemental Table A2 in an online appendix). Adjusting for A1C strengthened the association between resistin and type 2 diabetes, although some of the estimates were unstable because of the small sample size. Adjusting for TNF-RII in both data sets attenuated the association between resistin and type 2 diabetes but not to the extent observed when CRP was used instead of TNF-RII in the WHS; nonetheless, the linear trend remained significant (P < 0.01). Further adjustment for BMI with TNF-RII did not alter estimates substantially. Furthermore, adjusting for waist circumference (in the WHS) instead of BMI also did not alter the estimates substantially.
In these two prospective nested case-control studies of middle-aged men and postmenopausal women, elevated baseline levels of resistin were associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, which was attenuated by adjustment for BMI and/or inflammatory markers. Also, there was no significant modification by sex, BMI categories, age, family history of diabetes, physical activity, alcohol consumption, or cigarette smoking status at baseline. The present analysis differed from previous studies, which were predominantly cross-sectional, because it was prospective with several years of follow-up, was adjusted for multiple covariates, and had a relatively large sample size.
In a large, prospectively ascertained cohort, Heidemann et al. (20) used a similar design in 2,274 female nurses and found results nearly identical to ours: a strong association between resistin and risk of diabetes that was attenuated after further adjustment for BMI. Despite the consistency of these findings, further investigation is needed to reveal the mechanisms underlying the interrelationship among adiposity, resistin, and type 2 diabetes.
Our data are consistent with the positive correlation between BMI and resistin levels reported previously (5,6). Despite a nonsignificant linear correlation among men, there was some evidence of a positive correlation between resistin levels and BMI among the overweight and obese control subjects (r2 = 0.11, P = 0.04). However, findings from previous studies have not been entirely consistent either, as numerous studies showed no significant correlations (7,21) between adiposity and resistin levels. These null findings could be due to the method with which adiposity was measured. In our sensitivity analyses, adjusting for waist circumference (albeit, measured 72 months after baseline) instead of baseline BMI in the WHS did not change the estimates substantially.
Cell-culture experiments on isolated monocytes demonstrated that resistin regulates proinflammatory cytokine secretion through the nuclear factor-κB pathway (22), a master controller of the proinflammatory process. Also, the highest levels of resistin mRNA (10) and protein (23) were found in human mononuclear cells (e.g., macrophages), a major source of proinflammatory markers. Macrophage infiltration into adipose tissue is a major feature of obesity (24). Furthermore, our findings that adjusting for inflammatory biomarkers attenuated the magnitude of association between plasma resistin levels and type 2 diabetes support the notion that the role of resistin in the development of type 2 diabetes is mediated through the inflammatory pathway. However, specific regulation and effectors of resistin as well as different effects between plasma and tissue-level resistin remain to be clarified.
Several limitations need to be considered when interpreting our findings. First, positive associations that were of borderline statistical significance may have been due to insufficient sample size. However, we did observe similar trends for the positive associations of resistin with risk of type 2 diabetes in both men and women. End point misclassification may be a concern because the study populations were not screened for glucose intolerance, and the diagnosis was self-reported. However, all participants in this study were health professionals, who have been shown to have more robust and valid self-reported diagnostic information and a relatively high screening rate (25). Moreover, our sensitivity analyses showed consistent trends for the relation of resistin and type 2 diabetes even after the exclusion of all cases occurring in the first 3 years of follow-up or exclusion of participants with high BMI and A1C levels at baseline.
In summary, our prospective study of two well-characterized cohorts of men and women indicate that elevated levels of circulating resistin were significantly related to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and that the potential effects of resistin on diabetes risk were attenuated after adjustment for adiposity and inflammation.

When in the egg section of wholefoods I often look at the containers of egg whites and think - what did they do with all those yolks? Why can't they put them in cartons and put them up there next to the EggBeaters for us Primal folks? Probably go into animal feed or protein powder or the garbage ... and we probably wouldn't want the yolks from eggs processed on a large scale like that anyway.

Thanks for all the responses. I think you are right. If the yolk gets cooked every once in a while no biggie. I am taking much more significant steps to IMPROVE my health elsewhere and this is an area that could become a bit nit-picky. I WILL start frying my eggs so they are still runny though just to avoid cooking them hard like I usually do. I also need to try the soft boiled method...never tried it, but my sister loves them that way.
If Sally Fallon has any credibility:
Hi Sally, I have a question for you about oxidized cholesterol. I know from the WAPF site that one of the many reasons low-fat milk is so unhealthy is due to the fact that powdered milk is added, which contains oxidized cholesterol (which can cause heart disease, not saturated fats as we've been led to believe). But I've also heard we shouldn't cook our egg yolks, or they will oxidize as well – is this true? Also, I know raw milk is best, and it's what my family drinks, however I've been suggesting to my readers that if they don't drink raw milk, to at least drink whole milk. But if heating/pasteurizing the milk oxidizes the cholesterol, should I then be suggesting they drink raw milk or NO milk?
Sally's reply:
The confusion comes about by what causes cholesterol in food to oxidize–it is not pasteurization or cooking (scrambled eggs are fine), but the spray drying of milk or egg yolks when they are forced through a very tiny hole at high temperature and pressure to make powdered milk and eggs. Powdered milk is added to 1% and 2% milk to give it body.
Regarding milk, the more I learn about pasteurization, the more I realize how harmful it is (for other reasons than the oxidation of cholesterol). And now most milk is ultra-pasteurized, especially most organic milk.
I think if people can't get raw milk, the next best thing is pasteurized (not ultra-pasteurized) cream diluted with water. The fats are much less prone to damage by pasteurization than the water portion of the milk, and at least the fats in cream have not been homogenized. This is what I did for my family when we could not get raw milk. We used diluted cream on porridge and in cooking.
Hope this helps! Sally
ohh this makes me sad....i adore scramble eggs in alotta butterGet on my Level
I know about salmonella and eggs. I have heard about cooking yolks. The word was/is cooking yolks is fine as long as you don't break the yolk. Where does that originate? Been so long since I heard that that I don't remember who said it.
I like eggs. I usually have two (quantity) gallon sized jars filled with pickled eggs--different recipes. I eat eggs hard boiled, shirred, and fried over-easy. I make an egg salad with bard boiled eggs and sour cream. Oops---dairy. The shirred and sunny side up go against the cautions I heard long ago and some of the things preached at us today. Sorry. I like eggs.
I stay healthy just about every way I can, but I am strictly hedonistic when it comes to eggs and tea. (Not a combination).Tayatha om bekandze

Home Prices Canada
October 10, 2011 by staff
Home Prices Canada, Canadian prices of houses rose in the third quarter very low interest rates supported consumer confidence, even as signs of weakness in some regions point to a broader slowdown in the coming months.
Country's leading real estate broker, said Wednesday that the median home price in Canada increased between 5.7 percent and 7.8 percent between July and September compared with the same period last year, a deceptively large increase, because the third quarter of 2010 had been weak.
"The strength of Canada's national housing market hidden predictable signs of softening in some regions," said Phil Soper, president and CEO of Royal LePage Real Estate Services.
"The third quarter saw a return to a normal seasonal cycle as price appreciation slowed in many areas – with average values, even back -. After the spring season of busy trade"
Soper said a broader slowdown is expected that the economy struggles to gain traction as global growth falters. Still, he said, "fears of a U.S. style correction are completely unfounded."
The average price of a separate bungalow increased by 7.8 percent in the third quarter of C $ 349,974 over the previous year. During the same period the price of a standard two-storey home rose 7.7 percent to C $ 388,218, while the price of a standard condominium increased 5.7 percent to C $ 239,300.
"The Canadian homeowners have been deaf to the negative economic situation shaking the housing markets in Europe and the United States," said Soper.
"A national resilient economy, coupled with the stimulating effect of ultra low interest rates has been extended post-recession rebound in housing prices, but no evidence of more problems in some markets."
Royal LePage said prices rose in Toronto through the three types of housing, in part because of the shortage of supply, while prices also rose Vancouver. Montreal, Ottawa and Winnipeg prices showed strong gains, and Calgary and Edmonton meanwhile remained little changed for condominiums and notches small gains in housing prices.

Under the new model, SEBI would divide market entities into four groups -- very low risk, low risk, medium risk and high risk -- and the quantum of surveillance and number of inspections would increase as per the risk level
Market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has decided to adopt a supervision model based on risk levels for various market entities including brokers and mutual funds. This is being done to help SEBI in better regulate marketplace and strengthen its surveillance system.
Under the new model, various market entities would be divided into four groups -- very low risk, low risk, medium risk and high risk -- and the quantum of surveillance and number of inspections would increase as per the risk level.
This new supervision regime has been put in in place as per recommendations of an independent global consultant and the subsequent suggestions made by an internal Task Force at SEBI, while taking into account practices followed by many overseas regulators, a senior official said.
The move would help the existing surveillance system take care of most of the smaller offences, so that the investigation resources are utilised more effectively to tackle serious violations in the market place.
The new model would follow four distinct steps -- assessing the risk posed by a market entity, assigning 'risk and impact rating' to it, determine the supervisory risk rating score and then adopt a suitable supervisory approach.
The overall risk profile of an entity would be computed as a function of two components -- business or activity specific risk and the impact risk arising out of default or failure.
The supervisory approach based on risk levels is being implemented in a phased manner, the official said, while adding that the first step towards its implementation has been achieved with finalisation of a report in this regard that provides necessary guidance to the supervisory divisions to formulate policies for supervision and inspections in future.
Earlier in September, SEBI chairman UK Sinha had said the market regulator was working on this risk-based supervision model while becoming the first financial sector regulator in the country to have done a study of its own regulatory impact.
The SEBI chief had further said that specific metrics would be put in place to determine the risk that every firm poses to the system and based on which enforcement actions can also be initiated.
While the existing supervision model followed by SEBI has been very effective, it was found that the approach was 'loosely risk based', where no formal risk ratings were assigned to regulated intermediaries and the current resource allocation approach did not allow for an assessment of risk concentration across all regulated intermediaries.
The new supervisory approach is based upon overall risk assessment of the intermediary rather than on individual factors such as turnover, complaints, penalties, etc.
"The total number of inspections per intermediary will increase and the new approach would involve a combination of comprehensive, thematic and off-site monitoring for inclusive supervision of the intermediaries," the official said.
So far, there were only reports of back channel talks between Shiv Sena and BJP, but chief minister Fadnavis formally announced that talks will be back on track on Friday
Notwithstanding the recent bickering between the former allies, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Thursday announced that it will start afresh talks with Shiv Sena on the issue of the latter's joining the four-week-old government in Maharashtra.
Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis told reporters "From tomorrow, senior BJP leaders Devendra Pradhan and Chandrakant Patil will hold talks with Sena leaders."
"It is not only the feeling of wrokers from both parties, but also that of the people of Maharashtra that Shiv Sena join the government. "BJP also wants Shiv Sena to join the government. We fully favour this," he said.
"We fought the recent Assembly elections separately, but we were also together for 25 years. Sena is also part of our government at the Centre," Fadanavis added.
According to the chief minister, Pradhan and Patil will start talks with Shive Sena and they have been given full authority to deal with any issue. If needed, they will consult with me and the party leadership," Fadanavis said.
"I am confident that Shiv Sena will join the state government soon," Fadnavis said.
So far, there were only reports of back channel talks between Shiv Sena and BJP, but Fadnavis formally announced that talks will be back on track.
There were reports of a deal being reached between BJP president Amit Shah and Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray and of Sena likely to get 10 berths in the Fadnavis government, with at least four of Cabinet rank, but there was no confirmation of the same.
In the 288-member Maharashtra Assembly, the BJP has 121 MLAs, while the Shiv Sena is the second largest party with 63 legislators.
Over a one-year period, the share price of Maa Jagdambe Tradelinks has gone up nearly 5,799% or 60 times
Maa Jagdambe Tradelinks (MJT), formerly known as Parasrampuria Credit and Investments, is into textiles trading activities. Listed on the BSE, MJT was earlier into the financial services business. In March 2013, the promoter group's stake
drastically fell to 5.26% from 74.95%. In FY13-14, MJT reported total revenue of Rs27.86 crore from operations compared to Rs50 lakh in FY12-13. Profits increased to Rs59 lakh from Rs60 thousand over the same period. The stock price movement, of course, is another matter.
Over a one-year period ended 30 May 2014, the stock has been on an uninterrupted rally—from just Rs1.68 to Rs99.10—up 5799% or nearly 60 times. From May 2014 until now, a six-month period, the stock has traded flat at around Rs100. The number of trades, too, shot up to around 5,000-30,000 a month between March 2014 and October 2014 from just around 10-20 trades a month between May 2013 and February 2014. At the current price, MJT is quoting a price-to-earnings (trailing four quarters) of 1,117 times! MJT has even been suspended in the past for not complying with the listing agreement. But this did not result in any disciplinary action against the company.

Citation Edit
Edgar Online v. Parisi, CV-99 2288 (D.N.J. June 4, 1999).
Factual Background Edit
Plaintiff used the unregistered trademark EDGAR ONLINE and the domain name "edgar-online.com" since 1995 for a fee-based service relating to the SEC's EDGAR database. Plaintiff's use of "EDGAR" was under license from the SEC. Defendant registered the domain name "edgaronline.com" in 1996, but did not commence his free, less-sophisticated online service also concerning the EDGAR database until April 1999.
Trial Court Proceedings Edit
The court rejected defendant's argument that plaintiff's EDGAR ONLINE mark was generic, instead finding that at worst it was descriptive and likely had acquired secondary meaning. The court then found a likelihood of confusion and thus a violation of Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act because the names were virtually identical; the services, channels of trade, and customers were similar; and defendant intended to cause confusion.
The court rejected defendant's fair-use argument that the "edgar-online.com" domain name was an accurate description of his services, finding no legitimate purpose for his purchase and unlicensed use of the domain name. Finally, defendant's First Amendment argument was rejected because the domain name indicated a source of origin, not a communicative message.

Always loved watching them take off from Carswell AFB in Ft Worth. Two B-52s, followed by a KC-135. Their saggy wings would gradually lift as they reached take off speed. Hard to see much after that, though. Buffers were pretty smoky.
Born and grew up here, and now I'm back. Saw/heard Hustlers crack a bedroom window going supersonic.
Saw the MITO take-offs. One BUFF after another, water injection on, roaring. I was probably 6, standing in my back yard, fingers in my ears, spring in the air, and feeling my chest cavity viberate from the sound.
And they were smokey, back in the day.
I did wind up in the AF eventually. TAC, not SAC, first time around.
Likewise and more. The Buffs used to fly almost directly overhead on their landing pattern for Carswell. I lived just west (1/4 mile or so)of the primary runway and just north of the West Freeway. I could almost count rivets as they flew overhead. Always a treat to see them as well as comforting to know they were always on the job.
The article doesn't mention when they were upgraded from burning coal.
The last model, the H's aren't so smokey. Their engines are different than the other models (TF-33, verses J-57) but are still an old design, really just a modified version of the older J-57 with a fan stage or two. The newer engines, or a very similar commercial model, are so old that they've long since left most commercial service, and many reserve KC-135s, which originally also had J-57s, have been re-engined with the commercial variant, taken off old airliners. That wing flapping causes lots of fatigue problems in the fuselage. A BUFF on the ground looks all wrinkled, like the old gal she is.

|Moreton, which is about 17 miles from Stratford, lies at the head of the Evenlode Valley,
between the Cotswolds and the Oxfordshire hills, and immediately south of the watershed
between the Severn and the Thames. It has always been my favourite Cotswold town - I used
to deliver "Corona" there in the late 1950s and have lots of happy memories. I've been a fairly
regular visitor ever since and enjoy its shops and pubs. I've recently discovered that my
great-grandfather Gregory and great-grandmother (nee Rouse) were both born in Aston
Magna in the early 1800s. I've only managed to find one card of Aston Magna so I'd be grateful
if anyone could provide some more - scans are fine, not the actual postcards which I know
must be quite valuable !
|Every Tuesday the town holds the largest open-air street market in the Cotswolds, and is also the venue for a successful one-day
agricultural show held on the first Saturday in September.
The Four Shires Stone, (see below for a couple of old postcards) about two miles out of the town, was erected to mark the meeting
place of four counties, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Oxfordshire. However, boundaries have long been
changed and no longer meet there.

Support from Management
Lacks proper leadership, clarity in job description. Communication is lacking as well. The cut backs at Christmas are sub standard. When everyone else is hiring for holiday help they are cutting back.
Workplace Safety
They have no security and expect managers to act as such. Their training program is so confusing on the computer and everyone shares 1 computer for training and clocking in and out for shift and linches. There are so many interruptions it's impossible to do the training. And understaffed to make the time to get it done. There is only part time except for the 3 mgrs. 1 G.M so they do not get any benefits.
The pay is good for management but poor for reg. Employees
