Metropolitan Opera Extends Its Populist Mission
As of this month, the Metropolitan Opera is bringing its populist message to a new audience: schoolchildren. Last Saturday, the Met transmitted "Romo et Juliette," starring Anna Netrebko, live via satellite to high-definition screens at five New York City public high schools. Some 2,000 students and family members attended for free. On New Year's Day, the Met will transmit to the same schools its new production of "Hansel and Gretel." Today, 2,500 students will spend their last day of school at the Met's first student open house, watching the final dress rehearsal of "Hansel and Gretel" and learning about how the sets and costumes are made. This outreach to public-school students is a new element in general manager Peter Gelb's multipronged effort to bring opera back into the cultural mainstream.
3G iPhones arriving this summer, say analysts
When it comes to the mythical 3G iPhone, rumors about the device are certainly nothing new. Analysts in the past predicted 3G iPhones during the 2007 holiday season, but we've all see how that one has (or hasn't) turned out. Now the rumors are back, this time coming from UBS analysts Nicolas Gaudois and Ben Reitzes. According to AppleInsider, they're predicting that 3G iPhones with Infineon equipment inside will be arriving sometime this summer. Although it doesn't seem to be much different from last year's rumor, this latest 3G tidbit seems to have some facts behind it. The pair believes the iPhone will use HSDPA 3G technology (the same technology AT&T uses for its current 3G offering). Infineon already produces 3G radio hardware, but references by Infineon to an "HSDPA solutions design win" may be related to the company providing a new 3G platform for the iPhone.

E-waiter, where's my food?
Restaurants in Europe, the United States and Japan are testing technology that allows diners to order food directly off screens at their tables, instead of depending on fellow human beings to note their choices, sometimes grumpily or erroneously. Companies that sell the "e-menu" technology argue that besides cutting costs, this approach has a novelty value that can lure younger customers and increase revenue with tantalizing photographs of meals. The idea may be only the latest gimmick in a trade that is driven by consumer appetites and where fads help. But at least for now, it appears to be helping business. In Israel, Conceptic, a privately owned start-up company, has already installed the technology in sushi bars, pubs and family restaurants.
Univision Battle With Televisa Places Programs in Jeopardy
A long-running feud between Univision Communications and the Mexican broadcaster that provides most of its programming is headed for a showdown in a federal court in Los Angeles. If Univision loses, it could see many of its prime-time shows yanked. While a dispute over royalty payments is the source of the current dispute, tensions between the two companies date back to bad blood between Univisions former chief, A. Jerrold Perenchio, and the late Emilio Azcarraga Milmo, who felt he got a bad deal in 1992 when the two men negotiated the original contract. If the Mexican company, Grupo Televisa, wins and pulls its programming, Univisions enterprise value could be chopped by more than $1 billion. The lawsuit centers on a program license agreement, or PLA, between Televisa, the dominant broadcaster in Mexico, and L.A.s Univision, the dominant Spanish-language TV network in the U.S.
FAQ Prostitution
Strictly speaking, prostitution has always been legal in the UK, in the sense that it is not illegal to pay for sex, or to receive money for it. But many of the activities that it involves - including soliciting, kerb-crawling, pimping, and keeping a brothel - are all against the law. In practice, much depends on interpretation and enforcement. Campaigners argue that Asbos, for example, are frequently used against sex workers, outside of prostitution legislation. What is the government's position? It's under review. The Home Office has introduced a number of changes to the law, including a statutory redefinition of the term "common prostitute" and a new penalty compelling those convicted under prostitution laws to attend counselling sessions. A new network of police tactical advisers and an action plan on ending trafficking have also been launched.
Protest of huge IT services contract upheld
Bjorklund added that the decision also could put Alliant Small Business at risk if the same selection process were used. Alliant is a $50 billion, 10-year governmentwide acquisition contract that federal agencies were supposed to begin using in 2007 to buy an array of IT services. Sixty-two companies submitted bids and 29 were selected as service providers on July 31. Following the contract award, eight companies filed protests arguing that the process used to evaluate them was arbitrary and contrary to the law. The protests were then combined under the protest filed by Serco Inc. in federal claims court. According to the ruling, GSA assigned adjectival (verbal) ratings to each bidder on the basis of numerous technical factors and then converted those descriptive evaluations into whole numbers (3, 4, 5 etc.) that were used to calculate a technical score for each bidder.
Adsense - The Powerful Passive Income Generator
Webmasters have a revolutionary new method of collecting income from their websites.
Whereas in the past advertising revenue was reserved for those sites with large a coming and going of visitors, now even teenagers are making a quick buck with their online hobby blogs. People place adsense on their online family photo albums, their blogs and their business sites. The minimum you would get, even with a small amount of traffic, is for adsense to pay for your hosting costs.
Adsense revolutionized the world of paid advertising; banner advertising is based on the number of visitors you attract to your site, so the number of banner impressions dictates the revenue you receive. Google Adsense is quite different; it is the number of visitors that actually click on the advertising that determine how much you earn.
Willy Northpole and the Phoenix hip-hop scene explode
The George S. May Company is going to join Magedson's corporate advocacy program. (Kushnir declined to say how much he's paying.) Basically, Kushnir will pay Magedson to reveal the complainants against the company, and then Kushnir can do what he would have wanted to do all along address them. Good news for Magedson. But not such good news for the people who had anonymously blasted George S. May. After all, Magedson will be giving them up. And if they're current employees, they're probably going to be in trouble with a capital T. Kushnir says he won't sue anybody he's learned his lesson but if it's a disgruntled secretary who called the founder a pedophile, it's hard to imagine things will end happily for her. Kushnir says he's happy with how things ended. But the incident does raise some ethical questions.
