Greek bailout will not involve new outlay by Malta

admin — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 03:16:21 +0000

Malta will not be forking out more money than originally committed in the first and second bailout packages for Greece, Finance Minister Tonio Fenech said this afternoon.While the country committed €80 million in the first package, christian louboutln flats outlet it provided a financial guarantee with the European Financial Stability Facility in the second.Speaking during a video conference after a marathon meeting of Eurozone finance ministers yesterday that was followed by another meeting of EU finance ministers this morning, Mr Fenech said that the European Commission presented a report which identified 12 countries at risk of new economic crises.Malta was not among these countries, and this was confirmation that Malta’s economy was structurally sound.The unwavering energy and hard work of the private sector and built-in survival genes of the Maltese entrepreneurs together with a hard-working and intelligent work force are the real heroes here.cheap abercrombie outlet uk
That is my opinion to which I have right to express. Others who disagree are free to do so, but bashing my opinion is not going to fix this. We need to re-organise and fix what need fixing.The foolishness of those who hammered the media network day & night in 2006 to convince us mortals and taxpayers that the € was the best thing since the wheel is now coming home to roost.
I have read some articles from leading economists that the Euro was conceived as a political tool to strengthen the EU. But for it to work as a currency, all the stakeholders would have had to operate as one economic unit, just like a company.christian louboutln outlet
But with 27 European Countries, all will with specific economic and cultural identities, this could never happen in Europe. The US have a single currency for an economic block that does not have any cultural divides at all.I have a recurring dream that I wish to share with fellow taxpayers…..The ECB will soon announce that the Greeks are going to their Drachma back. And It is only a matter of time that that Italy, Portugal & Ireland follow suit with their own ex currencies.

Fasting ‘may be way to beat cancer’

admin — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 02:32:02 +0000

Going without food for short periods may combat cancer and boost the effectiveness of treatments, an early animal study has suggested.Fasting on its own slowed the growth and spread of tumours in mice, scientists found. When it was combined with chemotherapy, some serious cancers were cured. Researchers are already looking at the effects of fasting on human patients.classic lacoste polo for women
Results from a Phase I safety study looking at breast, urinary tract and ovarian cancers will be presented at a meeting in the US this summer. But only a clinical trial lasting several years will show if human cancer patients really can benefit from fasting, say the scientists.They also warn that fasting could be dangerous for patients who have already lost a lot of weight or are affected by other risk factors, such as diabetes.
The research showed that tumour cells do not respond to the stress nfl jerseys wholesaleof fasting the same way as normal cells. Instead of entering a dormant state similar to hibernation, they try to keep growing and dividing. In the end the cells destroy themselves.“The cell is, in fact, committing cellular suicide,” said lead scientist Prof. Valter Longo, from theUniversity of Southern California in the US. “What we’re seeing is that the cancer cell tries to compensate for the lack of all these things missing in the blood after fasting. It may be trying to replace them, but it can’t.”
The study is reported in the latest edition of thejournal Science Translational Medicine.Mice with five out of eight different types of cancer responded to fasting alone, the researchers found. Fasting without chemotherapy slowed the growth of breast cancer, melanoma skin cancer, glioma brain cancer and neuroblastoma. In every case, combining fasting with chemotherapy made the cancer treatment more effective.
Multiple cycles of fasting combined with chemotherapy cured 20 per cent of mice with a highly aggressive type of children’s cancer that had spread around the body. Mice with a more limited spread of the same cancer were cured in 40 per cent of cases. nba jerseys wholesale None of these mice survived if they were treated with chemotherapy alone, said the scientists. Fasting also extended the survival of mice with a human ovarian cancer.

The market of the Facebook

admin — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 06:57:03 +0000

Many people had facebook account, and many company who do the internet business know the influence of the facebook. As Facebook’s IPO approaches, one venture capital firm—Accel Partners—is poised to land what’s likely the biggest payoff in history. coach handbags cheap Gary Rivlin on their record-setting bonanza. The world of venture capital is rich with tales of colossal payoffs. The partners at Benchmark Capital invested $6.7 million in eBay in 1997—and saw their stake mushroom to $400 million when the company went public one year later. Sequoia Capital and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers invested $12.5 million each in a small search startup called Google back in the late 1990s—and for their troubles walked away with a payout of around $2 billion a piece.
Yet it looks like the record books need to be rewritten with Facebook on the verge of an initial public offering. A single firm, Accel Partners, stands to make somewhere around $10 billion on the $12.7 million it invested in Facebook in 2006.
Ten billion dollars on a $12.7 million investment: that’s a return of about 800 to 1. That’s $8 million for every $10,000 Accel invested.coach outlet
And an 800-to-1 payout assumes Facebook has a fairly disappointing stock-market debut. An IPO that values Facebook at $100 billion—at the upper range of the possible, according to published reports—would mean Accel and its investors (university endowments, pension funds, rich individuals) will collectively see an $11.4 billion payday.lacoste bags in hongkong

The Morning After: Second Act

admin — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 07:31:25 +0000

If you’re a regular reader, you know I was not as smitten with Smash as many of my fellow TV critics. (And the audience? The first week ratings were about as mixed as my review—very good by NBC’s coach purses clearancestandards but not a blockbuster, with a viewer falloff of about 20% in the second half-hour.) However, I will say that this episode, “Callbacks,” made a couple of choices that I liked very well.
First, Theresa Rebeck chose not to string out the who-gets-the-lead competition for ages, American Idol-style, instead giving the role of Marilyn to Ivy. (Naive little flower that I am, I actually did not see her sleeping with Derek coming.) Now, given the structure of the show and NBC’s own extensive spoilers, it is not a spoiler to say that her rivalry with Karen is hardly over, but I give Smash credit for having the confidence not to drag out the casting decision longer. Second, I like that—her sleeping with the director notwithstanding—the show does not seem to be simply setting up Ivy as the bad girl to Karen’s Iowa corn princess. (Again: not yet, anyway.)
Which is not exactly to say that the episode allayed my problems with the show. The show-within-a-show is going to be very much a matter of personal taste, but I can’t get over how retro, how old (as opposed to “classic”) the tunes feel; “The 20th Century Fox Mambo” felt simultaneously inside-showbiz and yet cornball. (Props for using the double-entendre on the term “20th Century Fox” a mere 45 years after the Doors did!) Every time the adoption plot comes up, it drops a heavy foot on the narrative brakes. And I continue to feel that the show overall is a showbiz-dreams story of the most familiar kind. (And again, I realize that this is one of those things I consider a bug that certain musical fans will consider a feature.)
But I get ahead of myself—the point of this post is to get you to do the writing for me. What’s your second opinion on Smash?buy coach handbags

Painting on a New Canvas

admin — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 13:53:00 +0000

WHEN she left North Carolina 23 years ago, Beverly McIver never imagined returning. Feisty, talented and ambitious, Ms. McIver was more than eager to shake off the warm clinches of her family and the chilly, intractable racism of the South.
And in her lush, narrative paintings for which she has gathered, at midcareer, an impressive array of fellowships, residencies, solo shows and awards she has never stopped exploring those themes. Portraits of herself in blackface and a clowns wig show her kinship with artists like Cindy Sherman; in her laundry paintings, her mother and her mentally disabled older sister, Renee, hang wash on a clothesline, lyrical compositions that recall the work of Millet and other 19th-century realists.
But in 2007, Ms. McIver, now 49, was lured from a tenured position at Arizona State University by North Carolina Central University, the historically black university where she had learned to paint. By then, her mother had died of cancer and left Ms. McIver with the care of Renee, a responsibility she assumed just as her career was taking off.
Raising Renee, a documentary that will be shown on Feb. 22 on HBO, follows the sisters for six years, from Ms. McIvers first New York City solo gallery show in 2003 to the day Renee, now 52, wakes up in her own apartment, a rather miraculous turn of events.
This happy ending for both sisters could not have been foretold by Beverly, who initially cringed at the thought of making a home back in North Carolina. In the film, she says drily, Im not here an hour before someone reminds me that Im black, reminds me Im in the South and a second-class citizen.
As for caring for her sister, she protests, I can hardly take care of my cats.
The movie takes its tone from Ms. McIver, who is a wry, frank narrator with a comedians timing. She and Jeanne Jordan, who made the film with her husband, Steven Ascher, met in 2002 at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, to which they had been awarded fellowships. Ms. Jordan was intrigued by Ms. McIvers paintings, which she found cinematic, like movie stills, she said, and by her complicated personal history.
MS. McIVER grew up in Greensboro, N.C., a city with a grim racial past. Her mother, Ethel, was a maid, a devout Baptist and a single mother, raising three daughters (Beverly, Renee and Roni, the middle sister) in Morningside Homes, a housing project that has been torn down. Renee, who was born mentally disabled and with epilepsy, was a violent child, particularly during adolescence, when she once threw Beverly down the stairs.
When Beverly turned 16, her mother dropped this bomb: I have something to tell you, she said. Your father is at the door.
It was never fully explained, Ms. McIver said. But it appears that while my mother was in this bad marriage, she and my father, who was a cab driver, had an affair.
Ms. McIver will protest time and again that she is a lousy caretaker, but the film reveals otherwise. Despite the complexities of her relationships, she takes them on with gusto and humor. Her biological father, who maintained only the most tenuous connection with her when she was young, is one of many people she now keeps a watchful, warm eye on. A few years ago, as a way of explaining what she did for a living, she made a portrait for him. When he learned that people pay tens of thousands of dollars for her work, he put it in the closet.
He thinks its safer there, Ms. McIver said, shaking her head.
When Renee first moved in with her, Ms. McIver was still living in Arizona. Now a gentle adult with the interests of a very young third grader, Renee embraced her new life. She loved the way her sister outfitted her room to her taste, in pink and purple everything. She loved shopping for a new wardrobe, shedding the church lady clothes, as Ms. McIver put it, for bright T-shirts and pants.
But Ms. McIver, a successful, single artist and professor, was overwhelmed by her charge. Feeling responsible for Renee would consume me, she said. What would she have for dinner, and what would she have for lunch and were her clothes ready? My idea of dinner, until that point, was maybe hummus and some pita bread.

Still, she realized there was an opportunity for Renee to gain her independence. I planted the seed of her someday living alone, Ms. McIver said. I told her, If something ever happens to me, youll have your own place. Renee is aware enough that she is vulnerable, and doesnt have a say in where she lives and who she lives with. I wanted to give her that peace of mind.
Ms. McIvers friends and Ms. Jordan had another insight. They said that Renee is there to teach me what it feels like to be adored, so I can find a man who adores me, Ms. McIver said. Jeanne said its for me to get used to saying, I love you, too!
Once the filming was completed, Ms. Jordan and her husband waited a year before releasing the movie. They knew it would be a cheat if their happy ending unraveled if Renee, all grown up, as she puts it, in her new, bright apartment in Greensboro, had to move back in with Ms. McIver, who is thrilled to be living alone in her new house, in Durham.
But the ending did not unravel. And on her birthday last December, Ms. McIver shed another weight and had breast-reduction surgery, something she had been dreaming of for years. On a recent afternoon, standing in her downstairs bedroom, she demonstrated the slope-shouldered, cross-armed pose she had hidden behind since adolescence.
I couldnt do it with Renee, she said of the surgery. You need too much care. But now I can focus on me. Look at my new bra, isnt it beautiful? It has jewelry on it! Ms. McIver dangled a bright blue lace number with fetching bedazzlements.
The week before, Ms. Jordan and Ms. McIver had given a fund-raising speech for the Radcliffe Fellowship at the Harvard Club in New York. Because we are the poster children of what can happen there, Ms. McIver said.
Ms. Jordan recalled thinking, Ill eat my hat if Beverly doesnt bring up the surgery.
Sure enough, she continued, Im looking out at all these wealthy donors, and someone says to Beverly, What are you doing now? She looked at me, and then says, I know I shouldnt tell you this, but several weeks ago I had breast-reduction surgery, and Im fascinated by the artistry of it.
Stunned silence.
In fact, Ms. McIvers new paintings are all about my new breasts, she told a reporter later.
They are about coming out.
POST-SURGERY, Ms. McIver has been sleeping downstairs in her new house, which has three bedrooms and more than 3,000 square feet. Sometimes I sleep in different beds, just because I can, she said. I am so grateful to be here.
She showed off the wide, open spaces: the glassy, double-height living room, the huge kitchen, the studio in the basement. Its the archetype of a suburban family house, which irritates some friends who think I have no business living alone in such a big house, she said.
Then again, Ms. McIver is lucky in real estate. This clapboard contemporary, built in the mid-1990s, was on the market in 2007 for $579,000; she bought it for $475,000, the exact amount a bank had approved for her. Just offer them $475,000, she told her broker. You never know.
But after she and Renee moved to Durham, it was another two years before Renee had her own place. I was at the end of my rope, Ms. McIver said. It was time.
Ms. McIver, who paints at night, tried to teach Renee not to interrupt her when she was working at home. Renee, who is extremely social, struggled with that. Ms. McIver also worried when Renee was home by herself. When she had been living with her mother, Renee had opened the door to a man who beat and raped her. Ms. McIver urged her sister to ignore the doorbell. Just let it ring, she told her.
Finally, in 2009, a disabled cousin moved into a small housing complex for the disabled and elderly around the corner from the Greensboro school where their sister, Roni Bryant, is the assistant principal. Ms. McIver, ever tenacious, found Renee an apartment there and decorated it in Renees favorite colors. Ronis husband, Hobson, now does Renees grocery shopping and takes her to church. And every day, a bus picks her up and takes her to a program that teaches her life skills, like how to pay bills and cook. Such an intricate system of support for someone like Renee is rare and precious.
The other day, Renee wore an Obama T-shirt and bright purple pants. There were pink linens on her bed and pink throw pillows. Even the DVD player and the remote were pink Hello Kitty, she confided.
She said she was happy to be back in Greensboro. Speaking slowly and carefully, she ticked off the best parts.
Starting over with my family again, Renee said. Getting and meeting more new friends. How to be responsible with myself.
The only downside, she said, is the stove, which is not her favorite appliance.
Isnt she great? Ms. McIver said, beaming. Then she got back in her car and drove home.

Sizzling ski-town fare at Jackson’s Teton Thai

admin — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 07:19:00 +0000

Where is the last place you would expect to find great Thai food? If you answered, “In the middle of the employee parking lot at the Jackson Hole Mountain ski resort in Wyoming,” then be prepared to be shocked. I know I was. And I am not the only one – if you read almost any customer review on Yelp, Chowhound or Urban Spoon, it will begin with something like “World Class Thai Food in Wyoming? Yes!”
I have eaten at countless restaurants, from dives to 5-stars, in almost every major ski town in North America, and I have never found any scene remotely like that at Teton Thai. The excellent food is even more notable when viewed against the local backdrop of bison, steaks and trout on seemingly every Jackson-area menu. Everything about the place is incongruous: It sits in a small building that no one would ever find if they didn’t set out to find it, and while locals know where it is, the many guests of the ski resort staying throughout Teton Village need to make a cold dark walk on which they may get lost.
Teton Thai has just a handful of tables (seating 28), and since every dish is carefully cooked to order, it is not especially fast. There is perennially a line out the door, though in peak ski season locals know better and phone in their orders for pickup. In summer, despite the fact that the nearby town of Jackson is even busier as the gateway to Yellowstone National Park, slopeside Teton Village is slower and Teton Thai much easier to get into.
The restaurant has been open for a decade, but when its lease in a higher profile town location got too pricey, the owners took a leap of faith and grabbed this tiny shack-like building no one else wanted in the parking lot. Fortunately when it opened last winter their customers followed, while each ski season brings new faces. They also operate a second location over the mountain pass in nearby Driggs, Idaho, but the couple spends most of their time here. Sam Johnson overseas the bar and front of the room while his Thai wife Suchada cooks her heart out in the small kitchen, using carefully sourced ingredients.
I have eaten plenty of Americanized Thai food, as well as plenty of the real stuff in Thailand. The menu at Teton Thai falls squarely in the middle, with generically American-Asian appetizers like egg rolls, fried wontons and steamed dumplings you would be unlikely to find on the streets of Bangkok. However, there are a few notable Thai-influenced exceptions, especially the unique spare ribs, more of a country-style cut with a pineapple-based sauce, and the salad rolls, veggies and peanut sauce rolled in translucent rice wrappers with the distinctive flavors of cilantro, Thai basil and green onions.
The rest of the menu is much more varied than typical Thai restaurants in this country – especially those in any other ski town. The salads are intriguing, like the Laab, which combines chopped chicken and greens with toasted rice powder and lime chili dressing, or the Yum Woon Seen, combining chicken, shrimp, red onion, lime, cilantro and glassy noodles. Both are fairly spicy, as is much of the food here, though they happily vary heat to each customer’s desire, and the waiters automatically ask what level on a 1 to 5 scale you want (3 is plenty for most folks).
The menu was too big for me to make a dent, but I tried something from each section, including the Tom Kha Gai, a soup made with coconut milk, kaffir lime and lemongrass, one of several interesting options on the menu (plus there’s another section for the entre-sized noodle soups). There are extensive choices of both noodle and rice-based main courses, plus half a dozen curries, from which I tried – and loved – the Panang Salmon, a coconut-based curry with kaffir lime leaves and green peas, served with white rice. Duck shows up a couple of times on the Teton Thai menu, so I made it my centerpiece, ordering the Pad Gar Pow Duck, which is listed under rice dishes but is really a large entree of thick, juicy and decadent slices of duck breast fanned on a plate with garlic chili sauce, a medley of sauted vegetables and white rice. I’d have trouble not ordering this again on my next visit.
In addition to an impressively large and varied menu for such a small eatery, they have a small bar that churns out a large number of exotic cocktails, though I stuck with Red Stripe beer from Jamaica to counter the heat. Almost everything on the menu can be made vegetarian, proteins replaced with tofu, or otherwise changed to accommodate food allergies, but the one constant is a decent level of spice: as the menu warns under the curry section, “Curries cannot be made less spicy than 2 stars.” That was fine by me and apparently fine with the line of customers still out the door when we finished our dinner. In ski season you can beat the rush by coming at lunch or for aprs ski, since the same menu is served from noon until 10 p.m.

Mary For Topshop

admin — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 04:06:59 +0000

MARY KATRANTZOU has unveiled her debut capsule collection for Topshop. The designer has produced two lines for the high street store before, but this is the first time the British Fashion Award winner has created a wider range – featuring dresses, trousers, T-shirts, blouses and skirts.
SEE THE COLLECTION HERE
“It’s very exciting to work with Topshop for our third range together,” said Katrantzou. “They’ve been so supportive of my work from the very beginning and this range will be the most ambitious one we’ve done and the most fun. My idea behind the collaboration was to design for the Topshop girl a range that is as close to the aesthetic of my mainline as possible, with great control over the quality of design and production. I can’t wait to see the Topshop girls in the bowl dresses and for the most daring to see them try the print on print layering!”
The ten-piece offering will focus on Katrantzou’s vivid, vibrant prints which cover every garment. Her designs can be worn altogether for a bold, directional look, or teamed with pared-down existing wardrobe items – from jeans to T-shirts. The collection will land in Topshop stores on February 17, with prices starting at 40 stretching to 350.

The Student Prince serves up legendary German fare

admin — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 22:37:11 +0000

Named after a comedic operetta, The Student Prince was opened in 1935 by a German immigrant and originally did a brisk business with the many other transplanted Germans who worked in the region once famous for its bustling firearms factories. One regular customer was local Theodor Geisel, better known by his pen name, Dr. Seuss. Arms manufacturing has greatly dried up in New England, but the restaurant’s fortunes have continued to soar as new generations of food lovers from all backgrounds discover one of the most authentic and charming German eateries in North America.
It gets a downtown business crowd at lunch, a post-work business crowd starting at five and a local celebratory dining-out crowd on weekend nights. It started as a bar with just a few tables, but has been expanded so many times that even the owners have lost count, and today The Student Prince boasts three large dining rooms filled with tables, and two large bars, ringed with more casual and cozy heavy wooden booths. The entire restaurant is devoted to beer steins, a collection that has been estimated to be worth seven figures and which the menu humbly describes as “one of the largest in the United States,” but more likely the world. The little wall space not occupied with shelves full of steins is given over to Germanic china, serving platters, old oil portraits and mounted animal antlers. The newer horseshoe-shaped bar also boasts an extensive antique corkscrew collection. The Student Prince is one of those places that has just grown more endearing with each passing year, and while it does not look like much from the street, inside it is vast, warm, and instantly transports visitors to Bavaria, where it would fit in perfectly.
The food at The Student Prince can be summed up in one word: hearty. The menu is vast but the recurring theme is large portions of meat, often adorned with heavy gravies or sauces, served with equally generous portions of multiple starchy or otherwise rib-sticking side dishes. Finesse is not the strong suit here, as the kitchen stresses simple flavor and comfort over haute cuisine.
The large menu includes representative New England dishes like crumbed Boston scrod and fried scallops, and out-of-place generic options such as raspberry vinegar boneless chicken breast, but the reason to come is for the extensive slate of authentic German dishes. German cuisine has been consistently losing ground in this country, with many older restaurants closing nationwide and those that remain often offer scaled-back selections of well-known classics. But here the choices range from the expected to the arcane. Yes, you can get your goulash and your standard wiener schnitzel, a thin breaded and fried veal cutlet, but you call also try paprika schnitzel, veal cutlets in a spicy paprika and cream sauce, Harz Mountain jaeger schnitzel, simmered in red wine and mushrooms, or schnitzels made from pork or even portobello mushrooms. In fact, while on the surface The Student Prince is about as far from a vegetarian restaurant as you can get, they have long served entrees and sides that appeal to a loyal following of vegetarians, dating back to when such dishes were uncommon.
German standards include sauerbraten, a traditional pot roast in a slightly sweet and sour vinegar sauce, pig’s knuckle, lamb shanks, and an assortment of wursts, most notably the slim, finger-sized Nuremburg sausages, a regional specialty that is hard to find even in Germany outside of Bavaria. More esoteric curiosities include geschnetzeltes, veal in a cream sauce with onions and Rhone wine, and hasenpfeffer (of Bugs Bunny fame), rabbit braised in a vinegar and brown cream sauce. This last dish is indicative of the restaurant’s love for wild game, and for the entire month of February each year they do wild game month, with a menu including alligator, bison, ostrich, quail, elk and even yak!
The reason to visit The Student Prince is to eat German fare you don’t find in many places, not to have a life-changing gourmet experience. The wiener schnitzel was pounded so thin that the meat was overwhelmed by the crispy breading, even though it was neither thick nor heavy. The sauerbraten was good, but a tad too sharp with vinegar. The sides were the best things, especially since the friendly wait staff is happy to recommend the best and most traditional pairings. While you can choose from a long list, they made clear that wiener schnitzel should be served with red cabbage and home fries, which are actually delicious crispy roasted potatoes, and the sauerbraten with red cabbage and a single giant potato dumpling, another heavy comfort food. The sauerkraut was excellent, and so were the sausages.
