PIGGS PEAK, SWAZILAND - The Kingdom of Swaziland's Ministry of Health announced the launch of the first Management Development Institute (MDI) for HIV/AIDS service providers. Key Ministry staff and partners who work to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS (PMTCT) convened in Piggs Peak from August 30 to September 4 to expand their management and leadership skills through a program designed and delivered by world-class management faculty from UCLA Anderson School of Management and leading African training institutions.
Presented in conjunction with the African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF), the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF), and the University of Cape Town (UCT) Graduate School of Business, the Ministry hosted this dynamic program aimed at developing the management and leadership capacity of those who lead the Kingdom's PMTCT work. The MDI program in Swaziland was made possible by a grant from Johnson & Johnson.
This comes at a critical time with revised World Health Organization guidelines around PMTCT and Swaziland's King Mswati III calling for the elimination of pediatric AIDS by 2015.
"We are very pleased to be the host of this exceptional MDI training, which gives our health care managers and technical leaders the unique opportunity to expand their leadership and management skills," said Phumzile Mabuza, Programme Manager of the Sexual and Reproductive Health Unit (SRHU). "With this expanded management expertise, our PMTCT leaders will be better equipped to help achieve our goal of eliminating pediatric HIV/AIDS in Swaziland."
For six days, the Swaziland PMTCT managers and technical leaders received intensive training on organizational planning, health information systems, operations management, leadership and human resources, financial management, social marketing, and program monitoring and evaluation.
"The MDI aims to provide participants with new competencies and skills in order to enable the Kingdom of Swaziland and its partners to provide better access to high quality PMTCT services," said Professor Victor Tabbush, MDI Program Director, UCLA Anderson. "We are thrilled to be a part of the elimination of MTCT in Swaziland and working closely with the Ministry and its partners on this exciting program." Considered by many as a 'mini' Masters in Business Administration, the MDI provides more than 35 participants from regional and national levels-including matrons, supervisors, heads of health facilities, information technology managers, and community-based organizational leadership -- exposure to critical and cutting edge management and leadership principles.
Recognizing the importance of fostering long-term sustainability, the MDI training experience will continue for 9 to 12 months beyond the initial 1-week training with on-going support. Participants will form regional teams and work in the coming months to better address implementation of the new PMTCT guidelines through the skills acquired during the 6-day MDI course. At the end of the 9 to 12-month period, the MDI teams will come together again to present their progress towards achieving their projects and strategic objectives towards the elimination of vertical transmission of HIV and to reflect on lessons learned.
"Johnson & Johnson is privileged to support efforts to strengthen the Ministry of Health organizational capacity, leading to increased access and improved services for mothers, children and their families in Swaziland," said Rene Kiamba, Manager, Sub-Saharan Africa Family of Companies Contributions Fund, Johnson & Johnson. "We are delighted to work with these world-class partners to support the Ministry of Health of the Kingdom of Swaziland in these critical PMTCT & SRH areas."
The Swaziland MDI program benefits from lessons learned from similar regional MDI trainings conducted in Kenya, Ghana, and South Africa. This is the first time the MDI is focused on one country and is specific to the PMTCT and SRH areas. Over 400 participants from 21 African countries have already graduated from this prominent MDI program since its inception in 2006.

OTTAWA — The federal government posted another massive monthly budget surplus in February — the largest since the recession and one of the biggest ever — putting it on the road to easily beat its target deficit for the year.
The Finance Department said Friday it took in $5.1 billion more than it spent in February, the third large monthly surplus in a row.
For the first 11 months of the fiscal year, the government's treasury remains in a hole, but the shortfall has shrunk to $5.4 billion — about half the $10.7-billion deficit it faced at this point last year.
Analysts caution that Ottawa's monthly accounts can be lumpy — so the final month of the fiscal year ended March 31 may flip the numbers around — but, as of now, Ottawa seems to be on pace to improve on the $16.6-billion deficit anticipated in the March budget.
Bank of Montreal chief economist Doug Porter said December, January and February are usually the strongest months in terms of the government's fiscal accounts, but that's offset by tax refunds in March and April.
Ottawa posted a large $3.2-billion surplus in February 2013 as well, but that was followed by a $6.5-billion shortfall in the following month.
"I think this is further confirmation that the tide is turning on the deficit front provided the economy stays on the rails," Porter said.
"Sometimes there are special one-time write-offs and additions, but the underlying picture does indeed look like it's improving faster than expected."
The government has projected it will balance the budget in the 2015-16 fiscal year, although many private sector economists believe it can likely accomplish the feat in 2014-15, barring a serious setback to the economy.
The timing is significant for the Conservatives since they stand to gain a political advantage if they introduce tax cuts for Canadian families — likely some form of income splitting — before the next election scheduled for October 2015. In the 2011 campaign, the Conservatives pledged to introduce income splitting and other tax goodies once the deficit was eliminated.
The February surplus was attributed to a $2.1-billion increase in revenues, or about 8.4% over the same month last year. Meanwhile, expenses increased by only about $100 million, or 0.5%.
For the year to date, Ottawa says its revenues are up $10.8 billion, or 4.7%, on the strength of higher personal income tax and GST revenues, non-resident tax receipts and an increase of $1.4 billion in employment insurance premiums.
Meanwhile, program expenses rose by a more modest $5.7 billion, or 2.6%, made up of transfers to persons and provinces.
Charges to service the deficit decreased by about $200 million over the same period last year, the department said.

UTF8 encoded unicode characters can be parsed both forwards and backwards, since the start of each Char is clearly marked. This Monoid accumulates information about the characters represented and reduces that information using a CharReducer, which is just a Reducer Monoid that knows what it wants to do about an invalidChar -- a string of Word8 values that don't form a valid UTF8 character.
As this monoid parses chars it just feeds them upstream to the underlying CharReducer. Efficient left-to-right and right-to-left traversals are supplied so that a lazy ByteString can be parsed efficiently by chunking it into strict chunks, and batching the traversals over each before stitching the edges together.
Because this needs to be a Monoid and should return the exact same result regardless of forward or backwards parsing, it chooses to parse only canonical UTF8 unlike most Haskell UTF8 parsers, which will blissfully accept illegal alternative long encodings of a character.
This actually fixes a potential class of security issues in some scenarios:
NB: Due to naive use of a list to track the tail of an unfinished character this may exhibit O(n^2) behavior parsing backwards along an invalid sequence of a large number of bytes that all claim to be in the tail of a character.

When you hear the words "Rolls-Royce Myth" chances are you imagine stories of engineers flown out to remote deserts to effect repairs on Rollers before their wealthy owners' caviar-cones melt, or perhaps tales of the fairy genocide that was the result of the systematic capture and metal-casting of fairies to make Rolls hood ornaments. What you probably don't think of is a small car.
But you'd be wrong.
Decades and decades before the Aston Martin Cygnet attempted to package opulence in a very little box, Rolls-Royce was thinking along similar lines.
It was right after WWII, and things weren't exactly great for anyone in Europe. Even proud, stalwart Rolls-Royce needed to at least consider a more attainable car in order to stay afloat, at least in the very uncertain early post-war years. Remember, this was the era where BMW was kept alive by the humble Isetta.
Another big help was the appearance in 1949 of what appeared to be a Rolls-Royce in the distance, no matter how close you were to the car: the Triumph Mayflower. The Mayflower was one of Triumph's first post-war small cars, and was styled to look very upmarket, even if the tiny proportions made it look a bit like a cartoon.
Rolls took notice of the little cartoon Roller, and prepped their response: the Myth. Powered by a 1497 cc engine that seemed to have chronic cooling issues, the littlest Rolls had a body built by coachbuilders Park Ward.
The body had the expected Rolls-Royce look, with sweeping external fenders flanking a tall, vertical grille, and a very traditional upright rear that still hinted at its steamer trunk origins. Except everything was done in what looked like 3/4 scale. As a result, the Myth was nicknamed the "Watch Charm Rolls Royce," which is impressive, since the car only existed 10 days and 407 miles. Getting any kind of nickname in a 10-day lifespan is an achievement, if you ask me.
In the end, Rolls-Royce decided developing the little car just wasn't worth the teething issues and development, since it's not much more expensive to make a large, exclusive car and sell it for a Royal Crapload more. Classism was also a factor, as RR suspected that their usual rarified clientele wouldn't like the idea that the help could possibly own a car of the same brand as theirs, even if it was tiny, and they were the thirtieth owner and it was painted with expired cake frosting. There's just some things that the really rich won't stand for.
So the Myth died. I hold a number of beliefs at odds with almost everybody: the healing power of gravy, the erotic potential of the Oxford Comma, and a firm belief that the day of the Luxury Small Car is coming. I think one day we will see a tiny, exquisite Rolls-Royce city car, but until that day please pour 4 oz of sherry on the carpet in memory of the littlest Rolls that never was.

"Marathons can damage you heart," according to a report in the Daily Mirror.
BBC News and The Daily Telegraph reported similar findings based on a small study that examined the hearts of 40 endurance athletes before, immediately after and one week after endurance events. These events ranged from a regular marathon (42.2km of running) up to an ultra-triathlon (comprising a 3.8km swim, a 180km cycle and then a full marathon).
The research found that immediately after the race there was a small, generally temporary drop in the efficiency of the right ventricle, the chamber of the heart that pumps blood to the lungs. However, as both the researchers and newspapers have pointed out, this doesn't mean that endurance exercise is bad for you. This dysfunction fully recovered after one week for most athletes, although five had signs that the dysfunction may have lasted longer than a week. These athletes tended to have been competing in endurance events for longer (about 20 years).
The athletes studied were highly trained (they did more than 10 hours' training a week) and so their results wouldn't reflect those of people who do less exercise or more moderate activities. Also, the small number who did not recover within a week may have eventually gone on to do so. The many health benefits associated with regular exercise are well publicised, including the benefits exercise has for heart health.
Where did the story come from?
The study was carried out by researchers from a range of academic and clinical departments based in Belgium and Australia. It was funded through a scholarship from Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council and a Cardiovascular Lipid Grant from the Pfizer pharmaceutical company. It was published in the peer-reviewed publication European Heart Journal.
The news coverage of this article was generally well balanced and informative, with BBC News, The Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mirror all explaining that the impairment was temporary in all but a few endurance athletes. Many also included quotations from the study's author emphasising that the study should not be interpreted to mean endurance exercise is bad for you.
For example, the Telegraph quoted the main study author, who said: "It is most important that our findings are not over-extrapolated to infer that endurance exercise is unhealthy. Our data do not support this premise."
What kind of research was this?
This research was a small cohort study of endurance athletes looking at their heart structure and function before, immediately after and one week after they took part in an endurance race.
Research on athletes' hearts has generally centred on the left ventricle, which is the chamber of the heart that pumps blood to the body once it has been oxygenated from the lungs. This study aimed to compare the effects of endurance exercise on the right and left ventricles. The right ventricle is the chamber of the heart that pumps blood towards the lungs to be oxygenated.
What did the research involve?
Through local triathlon clubs the researchers recruited 40 healthy endurance athletes due to compete in one of four types of endurance event: a marathon, an endurance triathlon, an alpine cycling race and an ultra-triathlon. The four events were chosen to represent different durations of intense exercise.
To be included in the study, athletes also needed to:
- train intensively for more than 10 hours a week
- have finished in the top 25% of competitors in a recent endurance event
- have no heart complaints or pre-existing risk factors for heart conditions
- have no heart abnormalities detected during an initial assessment of heart function and structure
A range of techniques, including 2-D and 3-D ultrasound scans (echocardiograms), were used to look at the structure and function of the athletes' hearts before, immediately after and one week after they took part in an endurance race. The researchers also took blood samples (to measure chemical markers of heart stress) and used MRI scans to look for possible signs of scarring or damage to the heart.
The distances, number of competitors and completion times for each event were recorded to give an idea of exercise intensity and performance. The average duration of the different events varied greatly, with the marathon (a 42.2km run) taking an average of three hours and the ultra-triathlon (a 3.8km swim, a 180km cycle and then a 42.2km marathon) taking an average of 11 hours.
Researchers then compared structural and functional information on the athletes' hearts from each of the time points between individuals and between individuals competing in the different endurance events.
What were the basic results?
The study found that, after endurance exercise, the volume of the right ventricle chamber (pumping blood toward the lungs for oxygenation) was larger than before the race and that this impaired its ability to eject blood from the heart chamber. The research found that the amount of impairment to the right ventricle was linked to the race duration, with longer races causing greater impairment.
By contrast, the left ventricle chamber decreased in volume slightly after exercise, but its function was not affected.
The researchers found it significant that, for the majority of athletes, all measures of heart muscle function returned to normal within a week of the endurance race. However, five of the athletes (13%) showed signs of more long-term effects when assessed at one week (a persistently lower ability of the right ventricle to eject blood). These athletes had been competing in endurance events for longer than those who did not show signs of lasting damage (approximately 20 years of competing versus eight years of competing).
How did the researchers interpret the results?
The researchers concluded that intense endurance exercise caused temporary dysfunction in the right ventricle but not the left ventricle. They also concluded that, while most athletes completely recover from these temporary changes, more long-term changes and reduced function in the right ventricle are evident in some of the athletes who had been competing in endurance events for a long time.
This study assessed the heart function of 40 healthy endurance athletes and showed that a small dysfunction in the right ventricle was present immediately after an endurance race. In approximately 9 out of 10 of these athletes this dysfunction was temporary, disappearing after one week. In a minority of cases the results showed some dysfunction in the right ventricle may last longer than a week. The study suggested the longer-term effects may be particularly likely in people who have been competing in endurance events for many years.
When interpreting the results, the following limitations should be taken into account:
- The research was done using only 40 individuals and so these may not be typical of all endurance athletes. Studies with larger numbers of athletes would be needed to confirm these findings.
- The athletes studied were highly trained (doing more than 10 hours of intense training a week) and so these results do not relate to those undergoing less or more moderate levels of exercise.
- Although some online news sources have suggested that running a marathon could damage the heart, it was the more strenuous events that were most strongly associated with heart dysfunction. These extreme endurance events included an ultra triathlon (11 hours of continuous, strenuous exercise involving a 3.8km swim, a 180km cycle and then a full marathon).
- The athletes' final heart scans were one week after competing in their event. It is possible that any heart dysfunction observed at this point would eventually recover, and so longer-term checks would be warranted.
- The finding that the most trained athletes may be more at risk of longer-term dysfunction is not proven by this study. Larger studies involving more athletes followed up over a longer period of time are needed to confirm this finding, and to see whether any effects last longer than one week.
- The clinical effect of this dysfunction also needs further investigation as it is not clear whether this will lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease or death.
The many health benefits associated with regular exercise are already well known. As emphasised by the study authors and the news coverage, this study does not suggest that endurance exercise is unhealthy. It simply notes that, in a small number of endurance athletes, there may be a risk of dysfunction that lasts longer than one week.

It was the boxcar derby, minus the boxcar and the derby. A Florida dad is getting some uncomfortable attention for what he did during a spring training game between the Miami Marlins and New York Mets.
Monday, Mets outfielder Chris Young hit a ground-rule double to right-center field. The ball went over the fence and onto a grassy hill where the father and his son were staying, according to Bleacher Report.
In seconds, the dad ditched his child to go after the ball. As his back was turned, his son began to coast down the hill on his wagon.
Failing to get the ball and realizing his own personal "foul," the dad quickly rushed to grab his son's wagon before the both of them hit the wall.

Choose a Variety of Grains Daily
Foods made from grains (like wheat, rice, and oats) help form the foundation of a nutritious diet. They provide vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates (starch and dietary fiber), and other substances that are important for good health.
Grain products are low in fat, unless fat is added in processing, in preparation, or at the table. Whole grains differ from refined grains in the amount of fiber and nutrients they provide, and different whole grain foods differ in nutrient content, so choose a variety of whole and enriched grains.
Eating plenty of whole grains, such as whole wheat bread or oatmeal, as part of the healthy eating patterns described by these guidelines, may help protect you against many chronic diseases. Aim for at least 6 servings of grain products per day - more if you are an older child or teenager, or an adult man, or an active woman - and include several servings of whole grain foods.
Why choose whole grain foods?
Vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other protective substances in whole grain foods contribute to the health benefits of whole grains. Refined grains are low in fiber and in the protective substances that accompany fiber. Eating plenty of fiber-containing foods, such as whole grains (and also many fruits and vegetables) promotes proper bowel function. The high fiber content of many whole grains may also help you to feel full with fewer calories. Fiber is best obtained from foods like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables rather than from fiber supplements for several reasons: there are many types of fiber, the composition of fiber is poorly understood, and other protective substances accompany fiber in foods. Use the Nutrition Facts Label to help choose grains that are rich in fiber and low in saturated fat and sodium.
How to increase your intake of whole grain foods
Choose foods that name one of the following ingredients first on the label's ingredient list
- brown rice
- bulgar (cracked wheat)
- graham flour
- whole grain corn
- oatmeal
- popcorn
- pearl barley
- whole oats
- whole rye
- whole wheat
Try some of these whole grain foods; whole wheat bread, whole grain ready-to-eat cereal, low-fat whole wheat crackers, oatmeal, whole wheat pasta, whole barley in soup, tabouli salad.

* Illness was reported as stomach ulcer
* Cables suggest uneasy ties with military intelligence
By Mark Hosenball
LONDON, Feb 24 (Reuters) - A mystery illness suffered by Algeria's
president is cancer, not the stomach ulcer suggested by state media,
leaked U.S. diplomatic cables suggest.
But U.S. embassy messages from the WikiLeaks cache of 250,000 State
Department documents, independently reviewed by Reuters, say the alleged
cancer is in remission and Abdelaziz Bouteflika, 73, could live for
several more years.
The documents also suggest the president, who was supported by the
military when he was first elected head of state in 1999, has subsequently
had uneasy ties with the military intelligence service, widely seen as
Algeria's top power-broker.
The disclosures come as Bouteflika steps up attempts to stop
anti-government protests around the Arab world spreading to his country.
He promised on Feb. 3 to create new jobs and allow more democratic
freedoms, and on Feb. 22 his government announced it would lift a
19-year-old state of emergency.
An Egyptian-style revolt in Algeria could have far-reaching economic
implications because the country is a major oil and gas exporter which is
also fighting an al Qaeda insurgency.
Analysts say a popular uprising is unlikely to succeed as the state can
use energy revenues to buy off most grievances.
The subject of Bouteflika's health is rarely broached publicly by Algerian
officials although it has been widely discussed by ordinary Algerians
since he visited France for medical treatment in November 2005 and again
in 2006.
Official media at the time said it was understood that he had suffered
from a haemorrhagic stomach ulcer.
But this version was contested in a Jan. 3, 2007 cable by then ambassador
Robert Ford that discussed speculation about Bouteflika's health stirred
by his 2005 trip.
"A physician ... familiar with President Bouteflika's health condition
recently told us in strictest confidence that the president suffered from
cancer -- as had been widely speculated -- but that it was currently in
remission for the foreseeable future, allowing the president to fulfill
his duties," he wrote.
"If true that President Bouteflika's cancer is in remission, it would
explain the president's confident assertion that he is not going anywhere,
at least not anytime soon."
This may refer to an acknowledgement by Bouteflika in Nov. 2006 that he
had been very ill but had made an "absolutely fabulous" recovery. He
added: "I'm a man like absolutely everyone else. It's quite clear that if
I had health problems I would have to go back home for good."
Asked for comment, an Algerian diplomatic source said: "The President of
the Republic does not suffer from cancer. This question has been raised
before and categorical responses were supplied."
Bouteflika's health is a central factor in the stability of an
oil-exporting country of 33 million emerging from a long conflict between
government forces and Islamist insurgents.
Many credit him with reducing the violence. But critics say it is time for
a change, arguing his rule has shown political intolerance and lack of
progress on weaning the economy off reliance on oil and gas.
A cable on Dec. 19, 2007 cited a prominent politician as saying Bouteflika
suffered from "terminal stomach cancer".
But in a Jan. 25 2008, cable, Ford wrote that at a meeting on Jan. 23 with
Bernard Bajolet, his French counterpart, Bajolet had stated "that
Bouteflika's health is better and that he might live several more years.
His improved health and activity has given him more leverage over the
army, he (Bajolet) speculated."
In March 2008 Bouteflika told Reuters: "Everyone knows I was ill and that
I had to follow a serious convalescence. But now, I've resumed my normal
activities and I don't think that that should give rise to comments or
calculations that are more or less fanciful."
The U.S. cables suggest that Bouteflika's health has loomed large in the
the political calculations of the secretive military group known as "le
pouvoir", which has dominated Algerian politics since independence from
France in 1962.
A decision in 2008 by parliament to amend the constitution, allowing
Bouteflika to run for a third term in office due to end in 2014, was made
possible by the assent of senior military officers, political analysts
have said.
In a cable dated Dec. 19, 2007, Ford reported a political contact as
saying intelligence chief Mohamed Mediene, "widely viewed as the key
figure in ensuring regime control and survival", had acknowledged that
"all was not well with the health of Bouteflika and Algeria writ large".
However, Mediene said he needed some kind of reassurance that any
political alternative "would be viable" and, by implication, would not
destabilize the country, the cable said.
The Algerian diplomatic source aid: "No conflict exists between the
president and the head of the DRS (Department of Intelligence and
Security). These are rumours propagated by drawing room gossip and by
diplomats hostile to Algeria."
In a cable of June 28, 2008, Deputy Chief of Mission Thomas Daughton
wrote: "As we think about how to improve relations with the Bouteflika
government, we see a frail Algerian president whose health and term of
office are uncertain.
"He wants better relations with the U.S., but his political weight within
the system has limits and he cannot fix in any short term the bureaucratic
failings of his government." (Editing by Andrew Roche)

We love indulgent beauty splurges, but there's nothing like the satisfaction of discovering a hidden gem at the drugstore. Here are our picks for what is a must at the drugstore right now, all for $10 or less.
CoverGirl Clump Crusher Mascara ($8) is the latest in the Lash Blast family, and I'm obsessed. I've recommended this to no fewer than 7 people in the last few days and all are loving it as I am. The claims of up to 30 strokes is true (Product Girl-verified) and the brush is almost like a lash comb in that it is impossible to clump. Major lengthening here, and no smudging or flaking. It's so new it's not online yet, but you should be able to find these at your local Walgreen's.
L'Oreal Colour Riche Nail Colour in Haute Couture Red ($5.99) is that perfect vampy oxblood shade that is all the rage this season. L'Oreal's formula is pretty stellar – no streaking, goopiness and it wears amazing all week. I'm on Day 5 with this shade and no chips or obvious tip wear.
Dove Purely Pampering Body Wash ($5) is a new addition to Dove's endless offerings of body wash. I love the aroma of the Coconut Milk with Jasmine Petals, and even though it isn't a natural body wash (which I prefer these days), it's non-irritating and leaves my skin feeling clean and moisturized. Dove, I just will never be able to quit you!
Aveeno Pure Renewal Dry Shampoo ($7.99) smells amazing. It's more of a "wet" dry shampoo, but doesn't weigh down the hair and gives me the volume I seek from a no-wash 'poo. Aveeno left out the sulfates and instead added seaweed extract.
Blistex Moisture Melt ($1.89) and Blistex Simple and Sensitive ($1.29) are the brand's newest lip essentials. This is a brand I always associate with winter — my husband is addicted and like me, stashes a balm in every coat pocket. At under $2, you can afford to stash these all over the place at work and home. I love the Simple and Sensitive under lipsticks and the fact that it only has six ingredients.
And, bonus, team Blistex is giving three Product Girl readers the entire product line (yes, all of it!), which will obviously include a set of the new Moisture Melt and Simple and Sensitive products! Leave a comment on this post by Tuesday, November 13, and we'll pick three winners at random.

4 December 2013 at 5.54pm | 2 Comments
Carmen recently turned up in Bradford. The occasion was a live performance of a Bollywood version of Bizet's opera. This Carmen was a waitress who aspired to Bollywood stardom; José became Don the security guard while Escamillo was reinvented as AD the Bollywood star. Yet as usual, the story ended in tears, as Don stabbed Carmen while Bizet's menacing chords ousted the livelier Asian dance music we heard only minutes before.
The broadcast of this performance on BBC Three suggests the repackaging of the Carmen story for both new cultures and new generations. It is not the first time this has happened. Just over ten years ago the singer Beyoncé starred in a version that combined Bizet's music with hip hop.
Bizet's tunes are apparently more adaptable than most to new musical styles, but the original Mérimée tale, which stresses the passion, aspirations and despair of young lovers, has something to do with it too. Many operas, of course, feature love affairs that go wrong and cause tragedy, but few have proved as adaptable to other cultures and musical rhythms.
Spain has attempted to wrest the story back from French cliché to styles considered more authentically Spanish. The flamenco version created by Spanish choreographer Antonio Gades (which he later adapted for a film with director Carlos Saura) attempted to recast the story in a more overtly Spanish mould. The musical Carmen Jones transferred the tale to the Black American South; while more recently the film Karmen Geï set it in a women's prison in Senegal, and U-Carmen eKhayelitsha presented the action in a South African township. Updating and moving the action was a trend that started early: a film from 1919, Een Carmen van het Noorden (A Carmen of the North), set the story during World War I – a further film with the same title, released in 2009, set the film in the contemporary Netherlands.
The attraction of Carmen over other opera plots might be that the passions and emotions involved move fluidly across the boundaries of class, race and gender. Carmen is the party animal for all ages. Quite what sort of party girl she is varies with the times and the adaptations. When Rita Hayworth played Carmen in a film version of 1948 her liveliness was confined to throwing oranges at the hapless José and moving gingerly about the mountains in a precarious pair of high heels. Only a decade later, the Spanish actress Sara Montiel offered Spanish audiences a frisson of pleasure when she stripped naked in her prison cell before a horrified Don José in the film Carmen, la de Ronda (Carmen, the Girl from Ronda). Or there is Jean-Luc Godard's Carmen X, a bank robber who pauses mid-heist to engage in feverish lovemaking with the bank's security guard Joseph.
Perhaps what becomes the essential binding agent in this swirl of emotions is the music of Bizet, the extra ingredient that returns audiences time and again to this particular story rather than any of the other doomed love affairs we can find in the opera canon. Contemporary versions, such as the Bollywood performance with which we began, still cannot resist grafting Bizet's music here and there on to the core soundtrack. It seems that Bizet's tunes are as seductive and compelling as the heroine they give voice to, and, just like Carmen, they come back to us again and again.
The full article 'Still Crazy After All These Years' by Ann Davies can be found in the programme book that accompanies Carmen. It is available in the theatre at performance times and from the ROH Shop.
Carmen runs until 16 March 2018. Tickets are still available.
The opera will be relayed live to cinemas around the world on 16 January 2018. Find your nearest cinema and sign up to our mailing list.

DAMASCUS, (AFP), April 27, 2012— Anti-regime protests were expected across Syria on Friday despite a week of violence that has killed dozens of people and severely tested a UN-backed peace accord.
Demonstrations were to take place after the weekly Muslim prayers in flashpoint cities including central Hama, where shelling by government troops has reportedly killed more than 100 people since Monday.
President Bashar al-Assad's regime has blamed "armed terrorist groups" for the violence, and for failing to abide by a ceasefire that took effect more than two weeks ago.
But UN chief Ban Ki-moon said Syria was in contravention of a six-point peace deal by keeping troops and heavy weapons in urban areas, while expressing alarm about reports population centres were shelled.
Opposition figure Anwar al-Bunni said the accord drawn up by UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan was likely to fail because it obliges Syria to allow free demonstrations.
"If the Annan plan which provides for peaceful demonstrations is applied, millions of Syrians will take to the streets and the regime will fall," the Cairo-based rights activist told AFP.
"It is clear the Syrian regime cannot implement the Annan plan," said Bunni, adding the violence carried out by pro-government forces "is planned".
Violence across Syria on Thursday killed 22 people, including 16 civilians who died at the hands of government forces, and six regime loyalists killed in fighting in Aleppo, the country's second-largest city, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Overnight clashes between troops and rebels in the central city of Homs killed at least one army deserter and wounded another 15, it said in a statement.
More than 9,000 people have died since a popular uprising erupted against Assad's regime in March 2011, the UN says, while non-governmental groups put the figure at more than 11,100.
The truce, which has barely held since taking effect on April 12, is to be monitored by 300 UN observers due to arrive in Syria in coming weeks. A small advance team is already on the ground.
Ban "remains deeply troubled by the continued presence of heavy weapons, military equipment and army personnel in population centres, as reported by United Nations Military Observers," said a UN statement.
This was "in contravention of the Syrian government's commitments to withdraw its troops and heavy weapons from these areas," he said, demanding Damascus "comply with its commitments without delay."
Western nations have expressed strong doubts that the UN observers will be able to work. The United States has already warned it may not renew the mission's initial three-month mandate.
US ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice said the Security Council must be ready to order sanctions if Syria flouts commitments to halt violence.
"We condemn what remains the government's refusal to abide by its commitments, its continued intense use of heavy weaponry in Hama and elsewhere, which continues to result in large numbers of civilian deaths every day," she told reporters.
The Syrian National Council, the main opposition group in exile, has called for an emergency Security Council meeting to discuss a resolution to protect civilians.
"Hama in recent days, and following a visit by UN observers, witnessed a series of crimes... that left more than 100 people dead and hundreds wounded because of heavy shelling," it said.
Among those killed were nine activists "summarily executed" after meeting UN monitors, a rights group said.
The reports cannot be verified because of restrictions on foreign media.
The Arab League said it would ask the UN to ensure the immediate protection of civilians, but without going as far as demanding the use of force.
"The entire world is waiting for a truce and the observers to be deployed, but unfortunately the fighting has not stopped and every day new victims die," Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi said after a meeting in Cairo.
On Wednesday, France raised the prospect of military intervention if Annan's peace plan fails.
Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said the international community would have to move to a Chapter Seven resolution, which authorises foreign powers to take measures including military options.
However, Juppe added such a resolution, which was also mooted by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton last week, was unlikely to pass, alluding to previous Security Council vetoes by Russia and China.
Moscow, a long-time Damascus ally, blamed the recent violence in Hama on rebel forces and hinted at Al-Qaeda involvement.
"Opposition groups have essentially reverted to waging wide-scale terror in the region," said foreign ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich.
Attacks aimed at "killing as many peaceful civilians as possible and destroying civilian infrastructure remind one of what is happening in Iraq, Jordan and other places where Al-Qaeda and its groups operate," he said.

BEVERLY, MA--(Marketwire - Jan 24, 2013) - Cellceutix Corporation (
Research by BIDMC combined Kevetrin™ with sunitinib on cell line 786, a drug-resistant renal cancer. Cellceutix was advised by the researchers that "the Kevetrin/sunitinib combination is the first we've used in which actual tumor shrinkage is noted."
Per protocol, Cellceutix has formally notified BIDMC that it has a strong interest in further collaborative efforts to develop combination treatments with Kevetrin and multikinase VEGF receptor antagonists, particularly VEGFR2 inhibitors. Cellceutix has provided the requested information that will be used to investigate a Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPORE) grant for a phase 2 clinical study.
Renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults. BIDMC is the lead recipient of the prestigious National Cancer Institute-funded kidney cancer SPORE grant.
About SPORE
In 1992, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) established the Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPORE), specialized cancer center grants to promote and speed up the exchange between interdisciplinary research in the laboratory to the treatment of patients in the clinical care setting.
SPORE programs allow laboratory and clinical scientists to work collaboratively to plan, design, and implement research programs with the greatest potential to impact cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis and treatment.
About Kevetrin™
As a completely new class of chemistry in medicine, Kevetrin™ has significant potential to be a major breakthrough in the treatment of solid tumors. Mechanism of action studies showed Kevetrin's unique ability to affect both wild and mutant types of p53 (often referred to as the "Guardian Angel Gene" or the "Guardian Angel of the Human Genome") and that Kevetrin strongly induced apoptosis (cell death), characterized by activation of Caspase 3 and cleavage of PARP. Activation of p53 also induced apoptosis by inducing the expression of p53 target gene PUMA. p53 is an important tumor suppressor that acts to restrict proliferation by inducing cell cycle checkpoints, apoptosis, or cellular senescence.
In more than 50 percent of all human carcinomas, p53 is limited in its anti-tumor activities by mutations in the protein itself. Currently, there are greater than 10 million people with tumors that contain inactivated p53, while a similar number have tumors in which the p53 pathway is partially abrogated by inactivation of other signaling components. This has left cancer researchers with the grand challenge of searching for therapies that could restore the protein's protective function, which Kevetrin appears to be doing the majority of the time.
The clinical trial, titled "A Phase 1, Open-Label, Dose-Escalation, Safety, Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Study of Kevetrin (Thioureidobutyronitrile) Administered Intravenously, in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors," is available at: http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01664000?term=cellceutix&rank=1
About Cellceutix
Headquartered in Beverly, Massachusetts, Cellceutix is a publicly traded company under the symbol "CTIX". It is an emerging bio-pharmaceutical company focused on the development of its pipeline of compounds targeting areas of unmet medical need. Our flagship compound, Kevetrin™, is an anti-cancer drug which has demonstrated the ability in pre-clinical studies to regulate the p53 pathway and attack cancers which have proven resistant to today's cancer therapies (drug-resistant cancers). Cellceutix also owns the rights to seven other drug compounds, including KM-133, which is in development for psoriasis, and KM-391 for the treatment of the core symptoms of autism.

|Thomas Campbell /USA TODAY Sports
|Luke Joeckel is one of the top prospects in the draft, with most expecting the tackle to make an instant impact.
Offensive tackles have always been valued at a premium, but with the NFL's recent transformation into a passing league, the position has become even more of a prime focus on draft day. General managers and head coaches understand that the best way to protect a franchise quarterback is to pair him with an elite offensive tackle on the blind side.
Since 2008, eight offensive tackles have been selected in the top 10, with four of those players (Matt Kalil, Trent Williams, Russell Okung and Jake Long) earning Pro Bowl honors during that span. While Jason Smith (second overall, 2009) stands alone as a monumental bust -- he was cut by the St. Louis Rams last August and is now a backup with the New York Jets -- the fact that seven other offensive tackles taken within the top 10 have been solid starters for their respective squads has encouraged scouts to cast their eyes to the college game in search of the next great pass protector.
As I evaluate the top offensive tackles in the 2013 class, the guy I believe every offensive coordinator in the NFL should want is Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel. At 6-foot-6 and 310 pounds, Joeckel is the prototypical left tackle prospect with the frame and length to stalemate pass rushers. Most importantly, he is a fluid athlete with the balance, body control and lateral quickness to effectively shadow and mirror on the edge. Joeckel's exceptional movement skills are complemented by superb technique and fundamentals. In the run game, Joeckel excels at blocking defenders on the move. He climbs quickly to the second level, and his athleticism and quickness make him an ideal fit in the zone-based blocking schemes that frequently require edge blockers to handle defenders in space. Additionally, Joeckel would fit into schemes that feature various elements of the screen game, which puts offensive linemen on the move.
In looking for potential flaws in Joeckel's game, I would cite his lack of elite strength and power. He is more of a positional blocker, adept at using body positioning and angles -- instead of brute strength -- to neutralize defenders. While it rarely shows up on film, power players could give him problems on bull rushes off the edge. Additionally, Joeckel could have problems sealing the corner on perimeter runs against stout defensive ends with strength and power.
Regardless of those potential concerns, Joeckel is one of the best pass protectors to enter the league in some time; I envision him blossoming into an immediate difference maker at the next level. Here are five potential fits for Joeckel on draft day:
Kansas City Chiefs (No. 1 overall pick)
|Take a look back at the No. 1 picks in the NFL draft.
Andy Reid must address the Chiefs' suspect quarterback situation at some point, but he certainly understands the importance of a solid offensive line following his turnover-plagued demise at the end of his tenure in Philadelphia. In Kansas City, Reid faces the possibility of losing his starting left tackle, Branden Albert, in free agency, which would make selecting Joeckel at No. 1 a no-brainer. If Albert returns, the Chiefs could still draft Joeckel and have a formidable combination on the edges, ensuring solid protection for the quarterback and huge running lanes for Jamaal Charles on the perimeter. Given the lack of production and consistency from the Chiefs' offense in recent years, shoring up the front line could be a top priority for Reid.
Philadelphia Eagles (No. 4)
Chip Kelly brings his innovative offense to the NFL, but he could have a tough time orchestrating the high-powered attack behind a leaky offensive line that surrendered 48 sacks in 2012. While some of the Eagles' protection issues could be resolved with the return of Jason Peters, the addition of Joeckel would give the team a young, athletic pass protector to build around. Given the importance of keeping a potential dual-threat playmaker upright in the pocket, the Eagles cannot have enough solid blockers in the lineup.
Arizona Cardinals (No. 7)
The Cardinals started a pair of rookie offensive tackles (Nate Potter and Bobby Massie) in 2012, but neither player can rival the talent or athleticism of Joeckel. With Bruce Arians committed to pushing the ball down the field with a vertical passing attack, the presence of a standout left tackle could help the Cardinals' offense regain the explosiveness that has been missing in recent years.
(Quick aside: While it's unlikely a player of Joeckel's caliber slips out of the top 10, the next two teams certainly could use a left tackle, and a move up the board isn't necessarily out of the question.)
San Diego Chargers (No. 11)
It is not a coincidence that Philip Rivers' play has declined over the past two years behind the Chargers' underachieving offensive line. The team has failed to effectively replace Marcus McNeill at left tackle, and the sudden retirement of Kris Dielman has left Rivers vulnerable in the pocket. With new head coach Mike McCoy intent on resurrecting Rivers' career, the Chargers certainly will address the offensive line to ensure the Pro Bowler is able to throw from a safe haven. While Joeckel's presence wouldn't address all of the Chargers' issues, it would fill the team's biggest need and help Rivers get back on track in 2013.
St. Louis Rams (No. 16)
Jeff Fisher has quickly turned the Rams into a competitive squad behind a gritty defense, but the team needs to become more explosive offensively to compete with the league's elite. To ignite the offense, Fisher needs to surround Sam Bradford with better protection in the pocket and more weapons on the perimeter. Joeckel would solidify Bradford's blind side, and his presence would give offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer more confidence to take shots down the field.

It's no secret that the console-gaming business hasn't exactly been setting the world on fire of late. IDC says that as of January Sony's PS3 (77 million sold) surpassed Microsoft's Xbox 360 (at 76 million). But the consoles were introduced in 2006 and 2005 respectively, and not a lot of those sales have come lately. Today's announcement of the PS4 -- Sony's next-generation console -- comes after the longest period between product introductions in the history of the videogame industry. It's the struggling Japanese giant's latest, best hope to recapture some of the magic that vaulted it to the top when the original Playstation launched in 1994. But is it too late to matter?
First, let's get some praise out of the way. The technical capabilities of PS4 look terrific. (The machine itself? Who knows. In a two-hour event Sony never did manage to display a Ps4!) Sony showed off plenty of demos at the introduction and I have no doubt some of the finished product will be state-of-the-art console gaming. Additionally, the company is saying all the right things about online gaming and using their handheld Vita as a "client" device to the PS4, giving Sony similar capabilities to what Nintendo has delivered with its recently introduced Wii U.
But the Wii U is kind of a bust, setting the wrong kind of records for console sales (as in record lows). That's especially troublesome for a new product. And while Sony is unlikely to do the same kind of face-first fall that Nintendo has, it's worth remembering that in the last round the winning console was, in fact, Nintendo's Wii, which recently surpassed the 100 million mark. Nintendo won for two primary reasons (1) it had the first-of-its-kind Wii Remote controller, which allowed you to do things like swing a virtual tennis racket through the air or pretend to bowl and (2) largely as a result of that controller it reached a number of people who weren't traditional gamers, both young and old.
Wii, in short, was revolutionary and both Sony and Microsoft had to react. Sony's Move controller was a knockoff. Microsoft's Kinect, while imperfect, was a revelation: control without any controller at all. Watching today's PS4 announcement, one couldn't help but wonder where the equivalent of Kinect was. What's the one feature that's going to get people to run out and buy PS4; that's going to reignite interest in console gaming? It simply wasn't there.
Instead, we saw a lot of game developers showing unfinished demos and Sony touting as one of its big "gets" that Blizzard Entertainment, part of gaming giant Activision, will bring the hugely popular Diablo III to the PS4. Of course, they'll also bring it to the aging PS3. Oh, and Diablo 3 is hugely popular because it's already been available on PC and Mac since last May. This isn't something new, it's something kind of nice. And something "kind of nice" is actually where the center of gaming has moved in the past couple of years.
Which brings us back to that second Nintendo success factor: more people are gaming than ever. It's just that now they're just doing it on smartphones and iPads. Phenomena like Angry Birds and Words with Friends may not have the spectacular graphics of a PS4 game, but they have sometimes hundreds of millions of players worldwide. And the commitment can be as little as downloading an ad-supported app to your phone while waiting on line at the DMV. For Activision, which owns blockbusters like the Call of Duty franchise (a single title makes hundreds of millions) and the aging but still very profitable World of Warcraft multi-player game (with 10 million people paying a monthly subscription), this trend hasn't been especially important. For everyone else in gaming, including struggling Zynga, it has been.
So while PS4 looks cool, it looks a lot like a better PS3, without a killer feature like the BluRay drive that helped bring the previous console into many homes the last time around. The controller isn't especially exciting and the online capabilities are mostly a refinement of what you can already get. In the meantime, the barbarians are already in people's pockets and purses and are threatening the living room, too. A startup called Ouya raised more than $10 million on Kickstarter to create a new console that will play Android games and promises to come out with a new model every year for $99. (Sony didn't announce pricing). They launch this June with a slate of 500 games. Maybe they won't all be Diablo 3, but then you'll probably be able to pick up 30 of them for less than the cost of one Ps4 title.
Apple also looms in the background. The iPhone is especially successful with casual gamers and the co-founder of online gaming company Valve thinks Apple could "roll the console guys really easily" using a device like the AppleTV as the way into the living room. Whether that's in the offing, the reality is that competition for people's dollars is high, with options like tablets not existing a few years ago. And competition for attention spans is even higher thanks to app stores, Facebook games, Netflix, and endless-channel television. PS4 might be technically great. But great might not be good enough.

And now, as they say in Monty Python, for something completely different (from my usual twaddle).
I was thinking recently about the music that floored me and changed me and my perception of music. It's happened to me several times. In order...
The Ventures — Prior to their classic instrumental Walk Don't Run, like most kids I was primarily interested in pop vocals. They got me interested in the electric guitar. I've enjoyed electric guitar music ever since. However, while I've owned a few electric guitars over the years, I've never...well, let's just say I'm no Jimi Hendrix.
Lonnie Mack — His big hit Memphis introduced me to funky guitar. His down home mix of gospel, country, R&B, and rock music as displayed on the classic album The Wham of that Memphis Man inspired Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Howard Roberts — In rough parallel with my interest in Lonnie Mack, I discovered that there were funky jazz guitarists, too. HR's slinky style of "greasy" guitar is still a pleasure (for me) to listen to.
The Paul Butterfield Blues Band — Powered by Butterfield's electrifying (and electrified) "blues harp" (aka harmonica) and Michael Bloomfield's unique electric slide guitar stylings, this was my introduction to electric urban blues Chicago-style. And that led me to many other electric blues discoveries such as the phenomena of British blues and Texas-style blues a la Johnny Winter.
Jimi Hendrix — What can I say. The whole world of rock music changed when his Are You Experienced? album was released with the great hits Foxy Lady and Purple Haze. There are many faster and better guitarists in terms of technique (Steve Vai, Buckethead, Tony McAlpine), but he was, many say, the first musician to play electric guitar vs. merely electrified guitar. If he'd done nothing other than All Along The Watchtower he'd be in guitar pantheon forever, but he gave us so much more.
Baden Powell — No, not his namesake, the founder of The Boy Scouts. This Baden Powell was a Brazilian guitarist/singer/composer who created a unique blend of classical, flamenco, and jazz guitar infused with native Brazilian rhythms, backup instruments, and melodies. I was once asked for my "desert island 10"... Ten albums I'd want to have to play if I found myself stranded on a desert island (a very strange desert island with an electrical system). I even surprised myself by saying "Any 10 Baden Powell albums." Yes, his music is that listenable. If his was the only music I had for the rest of my life, I'd never grow bored.
There's my list. Where's yours?

Yes. 4/4. LOL!
I have to say these "van sessions" are killing me tonight. Fun stuff.
Hell yeah Gallup! I'd add: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CR9WJToFsTs (Swear it was suppose to be in a porno) and: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roHYXrLhmHc
How old am I? Old enough to know that barney miller theme is dope.
and this one had some power too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkNWGy4lVTQ
It's pretty funky. Like (as George Clinton would say) "smell my pinky" funky.
Just to be clear I have no idea why he says that. ;)
The Reverend Horton Heat. My taste in music were forever changed by this Dallas, TX band.
I recently remembered another early blues influence in my life. The Blues Project. In truth, they were a fusion band of sorts, mixing blues, rock, folk, and pop into a unique blend. At the time, Danny Kalb was impressive as by far the fastest guitar player I'd ever seen. I was able to see the band live several times in a local nightclub (now defunct) named La Cave. My brother and I would get there early to get as close to the stage as possible, but it was a small club and no seat was all that terribly far away from the stage.

If your ticket to the Intel Developer Forum got lost in the post this year, there is still an opportunity to get some of the news emanating from the chipmaker's annual programmer convention online. Top line updates include thoughts from Intel software group VP Renée James, who has outlined her (and presumably her employer's) vision for what she calls "transparent" computing.
James talks of an open development ecosystem where software developers write code that will run across multiple environments and devices. "With transparent computing, software developers no longer must choose one environment over another in order to maintain profitability and continue to innovate," said James.
"Consumers and businesses are challenged with the multitude of wonderful, yet incompatible, devices and environments available today. It's not about just mobility, the cloud, or the PC. What really matters is when all of these elements come together in a compelling and transparent cross-platform user experience that spans environments and hardware architectures. Developers who embrace this reality are the ones who will remain relevant," she said.
Corporate marketing-friendly headlines aside, what Intel is really doing to further the future cause of programmers is reinforcing its commitment to ensuring HTML5 adoption accelerates (and remains) an open standard. The firm has emphasized the importance of HTML5 and related standards and that the implementation of this technology by developers should remain open to provide a robust application development environment.
James also announced the Intel Developer Zone, a program designed to provide software developers and businesses with tools, communities, and resources to help them engage with peers. The program is focused on providing resources to help developers "embrace evolving market shifts" and maximize development efforts across form factors, platforms, and operating systems.
The Intel Developer Zone includes: development resources in the form of software tools, training, developer guides, sample code, etc. It will later introduce an HTML5 Developer Zone focused on cross-platform apps, guiding developers through actual deployments of HTML5 apps on Apple iOS, Google Android, Microsoft Windows, and Tizen.

If the angel in Tom Brady's new contract arises from the cap savings over the next two years, the devil resides squarely in the details.
At a time when Brady is being heralded for taking less money via a three-year, $27 million extension, league insiders can't wait to see whether and to what extent Brady takes less money over the two remaining years of the four-year extension he signed before the lockout.
Though we've yet to get our eyes on the numbers, we're confident in making this guarantee: There's no way he took less in 2013 or 2014.
Yes, the cap numbers are lower by $15 million. But that doesn't mean he reduced his base salary or other compensation.
Instead, it appears that Brady has actually picked up an extra $3 million via the signing bonus paid now as part of his three-year extension. He also has likely had a large amount of his base salary for the next two years converted to a guaranteed payment, which allows cap dollars to be pushed to future years.
So did he take less this year or next year? No way. Will he take less in 2015, 2016, or 2017? We'll see.
If the cap goes up enough in 2015, maybe he'll get a new deal in 2015. If he wins the NFL or Super Bowl MVP after the 2014 season, maybe he'll get a new deal in 2015.
For now, adding three years gives the Pats more room to operate, at a time when other teams are trying to decide which veterans they can afford to throw overboard in order to get under the cap. It couldn't have happened for the Pats without adding three years to his deal. And it will now be easier to get other players to take less via the perception that Brady is.
Even if, you know, he isn't in 2013 or 2014.
