Penney shares at 4-year low
NEW YORK Shares of J.C. Penney (JCP) fell 10.6 percent on Tuesday to a four-year low after media reports said a large shareholder sold a chunk of the struggling retailer's stock.
The stock lost $1.78 to close at $14.96, its lowest price since March 2009.
Vornado Realty Trust, once the company's second largest shareholder, sold almost half its stake, or 10 million shares, at $16.40 per share through Deutsche Bank (DB), according to a Bloomberg report on Tuesday that cited people familiar with the matter. That price would be a 2 percent discount to the stock's closing price of $16.74 on Monday.
- Stewart testifies in trial over her brand
- Penney allows Vornado to increase stake
- Penney could wind up with empty shelves
CNBC and The Wall Street Journal late Monday reported Deutsche Bank was shopping the shares around, also citing unnamed sources. Vornado did not return calls for comment. Deutsche Bank declined to comment.
Again citing unnamed sources, the Journal said that some of Penney's board members, including activist investor William Ackman, may want to sell the company or replace CEO Ron Johnson, if a steep sales slide isn't halted.
It's the latest in a string of bad news for J.C. Penney. The chain is in the middle of a legal battle with Macy's (M), which sued media and merchandising company Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia for breaching an exclusive contract when Martha Stewart signed a deal with Penney in December 2011 to open shops at most of its stores this spring.
It's also reeling from drastic changes that Johnson has made to its business, including slashing the number of sales in favor of everyday low prices, bringing in hipper designer brands such as Betsy Johnson and remaking outdated stores.
The company has reported big losses and sales declines for four straight quarters since it started the strategy. In its most recent quarter ended Feb. 2, the Plano, Texas retailer reported a much larger-than-expected loss as revenue plunged nearly 30 percent.
Investors have sent shares of Penney down more than 61 percent from a peak of $43 in the days after the pricing plan was rolled out a year ago.

Yahoo! tunes! out! of! music! subscription!
Get on your feet...
Yahoo! is taking some time out from worrying about what it's like to be a Microsoft tentacle to offload its damp squib music subscription service.
Rhapsody, the near-identical subscription service joint-owned by RealNetworks and Viacom, will take on Yahoo! Music Unlimited's undisclosed customer base, in what's descibed as a "strategic partnership". Basically, Rhapsody is buying a few thousand more users.
The Wall Street Journal confirms the deal was cut before Steve Ballmer's takeover approach on Friday, and it indeed makes sense as part of Yahoo! boss Jerry Yang's long-promised purge of unsuccessful businesses. Conveniently, however, it removes one (albeit minor) potential anti-trust stumbling block, since Microsoft has its own music store businesses, via Zune and MSN.
Yahoo! will hang on to its other more popular music services such as ad-supported promo videos and LaunchCast, its net radio effort. The firm has been trying to ditch the subscription service, which it launched in 2005, for months.
The soon-to-be-defunct subscription service meanwhile offers unlimited DRM-crippled tracks that won't play on iPods in exchange for $8.99 per month. The restriction software makes the tracks unplayable on any device if the subscription is cancelled. We can't imagine why it hasn't been a roaring success.
Back in October, Yahoo! music boss Ian Rogers railed against DRM, saying: "I personally don't have any more time to give and can't bear to see any more money spent on pathetic attempts for control instead of building consumer value." In January it was reported a new DRM-free store is in the works, with music either ad-supported or paid for per track.
DRM-crippled subscription models generally have failed to make any great headway with music fans, and Apple has astutely steered clear. Napster, now Rhapsody's only serious subscription competitor, is in the process of attempting to reinvent itself (again!) as a legal DRM-free download store, in the mould of Amazon Digital and iTunes Plus.
Rhapsody itself is targeting distribution to mobile phones and TV set-top boxes in an attempt to attract subscribers who it hopes are more likely to accept music as a rental service, rather than a purchase, on those devices.
Painfully slow moves are afoot in the record business to license DRM-free music subscription services and even peer to peer, but if and when they will deliver is anybody's guess. ®

A meteoroid in orbit around the Sun has a heliocentric velocity in the vicinity of Earth of about 42.1 km/s. So if a meteoroid has a heliocentric velocity exceeding that, it will have an open (hyperbolic) orbit and would not have originated in the solar system. As a meteoroid encounters Earth's atmosphere it encounters atmospheric atoms and molecules, generating heat that causes atoms to boil off and collide with those in the atmosphere. This produces ionized particles which surround the meteoroid with a glowing envelope leaving a column of plasma. The meteoroid is now seen as a meteor.
Meteor velocities measured by radar and optical means have indicated the detection of many hyperbolic meteoroid orbits (heliocentric velocities exceeding 42.1 km/s), but velocity measurement errors which occur in the 10% range have cast doubt on their interstellar meteoroid status. However, it's clear that the solar system must be embedded in dusts and gasses originating from nearby star systems, so the existence of hyperbolic meteoroids should not be in doubt.
What is the technical difficulty in obtaining sufficiently accurate velocity measurements to prove or disprove the existence of interstellar meteors?

Just received the official word: Game 5 has been postponed again.
The tentative plan is to play the final three-and-a-half innings Wednesday night starting at 8:37 p.m. Acccording to Weather.com, there is a 30 percent chance of rain with rain and snow showers likely occuring in the morning. The high temperature is supposed to be 48 degrees. So it looks good that the Phillies and Rays will play a cold, abbreviated Game 5 tomorrow night.
Here is another interesting sub-plot:
Now, there is a possibility that Cole Hamels could be available to pitch Game 7. All it would take is Major League Baseball keeping an open travel day instead of playing Games 5, 6 and 7 consecutively. If that happens, Hamels would get four days rest before Game 7, putting him in line to start the game if it happens.
This would be the scenario:
Monday - Hamels pitches six innings in the first half of Game 5
Tuesday - Off (Rainout)
Wendesday - Off (End of Game 5)
Thursday - Off (Travel to Tampa Bay)
Friday - Off (Game 6)
Saturday - Game 7 on normal rest.
But it remains to be seen what Major League Baseball is going to do about travel between Philly and Tampa. Everyone knows how much this depends on TV, and Friday and Saturday nights aren't great television nights, so I imagine Fox would rather play Game 6 on Thursday and Game 7 on Friday if necessary. But that would also force both teams to pull a potentially late night. Let's say Game 5 goes extra innings and lasts another two hours. The game would end at 10:37 p.m. By the time all was said and done, they probably wouldn't leave on their flights until 1 a.m. at the earliest. That would put them in Tampa at 3 a.m. and in St. Petersburg and checked into their hotel no earlier than 4 a.m. They would then play an important baseball game 16 hours later.
Regardless, the Phillies will now definitely have both Jamie Moyer and Joe Blanton available for Game 7.

Heading deeper into Blackwing Descent, we come to another set of paired bosses, Maloriak and Chimaron. We'll be covering Maloriak today and a few little tips that might make this fight easier for you, or at least to help you keep yourself focused on this fight when there's so much going on around you.
There's a job for both the main tank and the offtank on this fight so sort yourself out with your tanking wingman accordingly. Whichever one of you is better at picking up and holding a large number of adds or whichever tank is better geared should be on add duty as a potential slip up will give you more than you may be able to handle.
As the boss tank, the first phase is pretty much a cakewalk. Simply stand at the designated position, tank the boss, and do your best not to twitch from side to side when the red vial is up as that may lead to you eating the full damage of the Scorching Blast (it does damage shared amongst its targets).
As the add tank, your job is not quite as easy. When it comes to picking up adds, it might help you a lot to turn on your enemy nameplates. This will allow you to see each new add as it jumps down, giving you a tiny bit of advance warning as to where the new one will be. It can also help to pick up a nameplate addon that will display your threat values on the target. This will help you judge which add you should be concentrating on at a glance instead of having to tab through each one.
Also, you should be trying to save your cooldowns as much as possible. There may be a problem with the kicking on the boss that might lead to a few more adds that you can handle and your quick reactions with said abilities might be the difference between a kill and a wipe.
Also, as the add tank, keep in mind that you are vulnerable to the Flash Freeze that randomly hits a raid member. It's important to make friends with a dps with a quick cast and have them designated to free you if you're trapped as you need to be free to deal with the adds. This way, you can avoid the problem of having your raid members think that it's everyone else's job to get you out of that ice block.
Phase 2 is when things get interesting for the Maloriak tank. He has a number of new abilities this phase that you need to watch out for but the biggest problem is his Magma Jets where he blasts a line of fire towards an enemy and if you happen to be in the way, you get launched up and take a huge amount of damage.
While it's easy to tell which direction he'll throw this when he targets someone else, it can be a little hard to see and react in time if he's targeting you for it as his target will not change. You can avoid an embarrassing death in this situation by keeping an eye on his arms. He telegraphs this ability by raising his arm and if you choose that time to shift to the side to avoid the ability, you'll get off free and clear.
Next week, we'll be moving onto the other side of the circle and Chimaron so good luck with Maloriak and if you have any questions, just drop a comment.

Tigers withstand Tribe's late charge
CLEVELAND -- Justin Verlander was almost unbeatable two years ago on his way to 24 victories, and wasn't far off on his way to 17 wins last year. On Wednesday, as he saw the heavens open up and douse Progressive Field with one out in the fifth inning, he had to look and wonder what he had to do to just get one.
"Obviously, they had the weather report, knew it was going to start raining pretty hard," Verlander said. "But yeah, it was like, 'You've gotta be kidding me.'"View Full Game Coverage
CLEVELAND -- Justin Verlander was almost unbeatable two years ago on his way to 24 victories, and wasn't far off on his way to 17 wins last year. On Wednesday, as he saw the heavens open up and douse Progressive Field with one out in the fifth inning, he had to look and wonder what he had to do to just get one.
"Obviously, they had the weather report, knew it was going to start raining pretty hard," Verlander said. "But yeah, it was like, 'You've gotta be kidding me.'"View Full Game Coverage
Verlander had to wait through a 62-minute rain delay to get the last two outs and qualify for the victory. Nearly two hours and another rain delay later, it took the kind of home run that makes one think even fortune can't retire Miguel Cabrera these days to seal the 11-7 win over the first-place Indians.
"Lucky home run," Cabrera admitted. "I take it, especially with a win. Long game."
It was the most bizarre home run Cabrera can remember hitting, a fly ball to deep center that hit Michael Bourn's glove and bounced over the fence. It was that kind of Wednesday night, and eventually Thursday morning.
Between a 3-hour, 33-minute game and nearly two hours of rain delays, it was well past midnight when Jose Valverde finished it off. Time hasn't nearly tolled like that for the upstart Indians yet, but the win brought the Tigers within half a game of the American League Central lead heading home for four games against the Twins at Comerica Park.
"I probably helped the Marlboro stock a little bit. Other than that, I don't know what to tell you, except we won," manager Jim Leyland said.
Verlander did little to help Leyland's stress level, either before the rain delay or during it. It was never vintage Verlander Wednesday, and after the fourth inning, it wasn't dry at Progressive Field. The bottom line is five runs on 10 hits over five innings was good enough on this night.
"Tonight definitely was a big step forward," Verlander said.
The Indians were the team that started Verlander on his difficult stretch of starts, having taken advantage of a wild fastball a week and a half ago in Detroit. Those struggles turned into a debacle of a third inning in Texas, leading him to get back to basics in his side sessions.
When Verlander again worked into early trouble, he seemed headed for the same fate, allowing three consecutive two-out hits for a first-inning run before three more hits plated a run and loaded the bases for cleanup hitter Michael Brantley in the second.
Again, Verlander was firing fastballs in the upper 90s, topping out at 98 mph during an 11-pitch battle with Jason Kipnis. This time, though, he was painting the corners, eventually striking Kipnis out before a walk to Asdrubal Cabrera loaded the bases. Verlander needed to make a pitch, and he went back to the fastball.
Verlander escaped with Brantley's groundout, ending a 36-pitch marathon of an inning. He entered the third with 58 pitches, had a long conversation with pitching coach Jeff Jones, then used just 30 pitches to set down the Tribe in the next two frames while Detroit's four-run third against Ubaldo Jimenez and three-run fifth against David Huff built a commanding 9-2 lead.
"I thought the first couple innings was better than I was the last couple starts," Verlander said. "I was able to make some pitches when I needed to and then I felt like I was able to find it there in the third and the fourth. And then the fifth inning, I got out to warm up and then [catcher Brayan] Pena gives me the [sign to] hurry up. I guess he had heard the rain was coming."
One look at the skies beyond left field made it clear.
"I kind of rushed a little bit and ended up trying to get some quick outs, because I knew it was coming," Verlander said. "Made some bad pitches, got hurt."
Three straight hits, including Carlos Santana's two-run homer, drew Cleveland to within 9-5 before the first round of storms passed through.
Verlander paced and lurked. It was a rough start by anyone's standards, but it was his game to win.
Normally, an hour-long rain delay is enough for Leyland to end a starting pitcher's night. For Verlander, he allowed a few extra minutes.
"Since I've been here in 2006, he's been our horse," Leyland said. "I thought as rough as the sledding was, he deserved the opportunity."
Said Verlander: "If it was probably five or 10 minutes more, I was done. But I just wanted go out there and complete that inning and finish on a positive vibe, and I was able to do that. "
The game continued hours after Jimenez was gone, his six runs allowed topping the total from his previous three starts combined. Yet it wasn't ultimately safe until Cabrera, who doubled in Detroit's first run in the opening inning, struck again in the eighth off Rich Hill.
Bourn had robbed the Tigers of at least two extra-base hits over the course of the night. Cabrera's drive became Detroit's payback, sending Bourn to the fence before his attempt at another defensive gem went horribly wrong.
"I just missed it," Bourn said. "There wasn't no excuses. I had my balance, I was good and it just came out of my glove."
The reaction on Cabrera's face rounding first base was priceless, like a gameshow contestant who just made a lucky guess.
"I thought it was an out there," Cabrera said. "I was very lucky there. It's better to be lucky than good."
Instead, it became Cabrera's 13th home run, one off Chris Davis' AL lead, and 52nd RBI, most by a Tiger through 44 games since Hank Greenberg drove in 55 over the same stretch in 1937.

The UEFA.com users' Team of the Year 2009 has been announced, with players from all-conquering European champions FC Barcelona dominating the selection.
Four million votes
More than four million votes were cast by 320,000 users (a 30% increase on last year), and the resulting dream team features five members of the Barça side that conquered Europe last season, plus another who has joined since. Daniel Alves and Carles Puyol line up at the back, with Xavi Hernández and Andrés Iniesta in midfield behind a front pairing of Lionel Messi and summer signing Zlatan Ibrahimović. For good measure, the man who enjoyed such a memorable debut campaign at the Blaugrana helm, Josep Guardiola, oversees this talented blend.
Spanish flavour
The Spanish flavour continues with Iker Casillas named goalkeeper for the third successive season and Real Madrid CF team-mates Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaká are deployed in an attack-minded midfield. The Liga monopoly is broken by a pair of English-based players. Manchester United FC's Patrice Evra is at left-back and Team of the Year mainstay John Terry, of Chelsea FC, partners captain Puyol at the heart of the defence. UEFA will present a cheque for €100,000 to one member of the team, to be donated to the International Committee of the Red Cross.
UEFA.com users' Team of the Year 2009:
Iker Casillas (Real Madrid CF & Spain); Daniel Alves (FC Barcelona), John Terry (Chelsea FC & England), Carles Puyol (FC Barcelona & Spain), Patrice Evra (Manchester United FC & France); Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United FC/Real Madrid CF & Portugal), Xavi Hernández (FC Barcelona & Spain), Kaká (AC Milan/Real Madrid CF), Andrés Iniesta (FC Barcelona & Spain); Lionel Messi (FC Barcelona), Zlatan Ibrahimović (FC Internazionale Milano/FC Barcelona & Sweden).

text: Hamamatsu, Japan, October 29, 2010 – The Netherlands won a hard-fought match against a valiant Czech Republic team in straight sets (26-24, 25-20, 25-14) in the opening Pool B match of the first round of the 2010 FIVB Women's World Championship at Hamamatsu Arena in Japan on Friday. FIVB Women's World Championship Japan 2010 official pageManon Flier's swooping spikes from all over the court ultimately gave the Netherlands a narrow edge in a close match which could have gone the Czechs' way in two opening sets spiced with lead changes, hustle plays and long rallies. The first set was closely contested from start to finish. The Czechs took an early 12-9 lead, but the Netherlands came back to tie it at 15-all on a Flier spike. After a timeout, the Netherlands seized a 17-16 edge on a thundering spike and solid block by Ingrid Visser. Another Flier spike from the right wing broke a 22-all deadlock but the Czechs then blocked back to tie again at 23 and took the lead when the Dutch mishandled a serve. Manon's spike restored parity once more, though, and the Netherlands duly took advantage of Lucie Muhlsteinova's missed spike as they clinched the set 26-24 on their own serve. The second set was similarly close with several lead changes and long rallies. The Netherlands raced to a 4-1 lead as Nicole Koolhaas put away an easy sitter. The Czechs came back, however, and tied at nine-all on a block by Ivana Plchotova. The Czechs gained momentum, taking leads of 12-10 and 16-14, but were pegged back again at 16 each. Although Helena Havelkova failed to handle Visser's knuckleball serve, her team fought back to tie again at 18 yet that would be as good as it got for the Czechs. After a long point featuring diving saves and one-hand bumps on both sides, Caroline Wensink's spike gave the Netherlands a 21-19 lead. A block by Kim Staelens then extended the advantage to 23-20, and after Aneta Havlickova netted a backcourt spike, the Dutch captured a terrific set 25-20 on a Visser block. After two near misses, the Czech stayed strong early in the third set but a swooping backcourt spike from Flier gave Avital Selinger's team a 5-3 lead which they extended to 8-3 and 10-3, forcing timeouts at both junctures. With such a long way to come back, the Czechs lost steam and fell behind 16-6. Jiri Siller's side fought a long point at 17-6 but were eventually undone by yet another Flier spike, and the Netherlands surged on, extending their lead from 20-8 to 23-11 before finally taking the match at 25-15. The Czech Republic next face a daunting assignment with Brazil on Saturday, while the Netherlands will face a strong Italy side.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Morristown Employee Denied Sabbath Accommodation, Federal Agency Charged
NASHVILLE – Lowe's Home Centers, Inc. will pay $120,000 and provide other relief in a settlement of a religious discrimination and retaliation lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
The EEOC's suit (Civil Action No. 2:10-cv-00063), filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, charged that Lowe's violated federal law when it refused to reasonably accommodate the sincerely held religious belief of an employee at its Morristown, Tenn.,store. The worker had requested being excused from working on the Christian Sabbath. Instead, the EEOC said, the company retaliated against him when it scheduled him to work on the Sabbath for 27 out of 28 weeks.
Refusing to provide a reasonable accommodation for a sincerely held religious belief, absent undue hardship, and retaliating against an employee who makes such a request violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through the conciliation process.
Besides providing monetary relief, the three-year consent decree signed by Senior District Judge Leon Jordan on September 20, 2011, enjoins Lowe's from any future refusal to accommodate the sincerely held religious beliefs of its employees or retaliating against any employee for requesting a religious accommodation. The decree provides that Lowe's will make an addendum to its human resource management guide. In addition, Lowe's will provide employment discrimination awareness training to its store managers, assistant managers, and human resource managers in the East Tennessee area, and post a notice regarding the settlement.
The employee initially denied the reasonable accommodation now works in a position that does not require him to work on his Sabbath.
"This settlement ensures that this employee will continue to receive the accommodation he should have been granted to begin with, and that managers and human resource personnel understand heir obligations under the law," said EEOC Regional Attorney Faye A. Williams.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Article originally from The Wall Street Journal here (excerpt below)
Globality's algorithm is based on research from Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Osaka University showing that strong online networks correlate with offline success. Studies comparing entrepreneurs' use of social media with their business success found that those who were well-positioned in online networks were the most successful.
Eric Tyler got the idea for Globality last year while participating in Unreasonable at Sea–a program in which a group of entrepreneurs boarded a ship and traveled to 13 nations in 106 days. They met with investors, government officials and other entrepreneurs to learn how to turn their startups into global businesses. Mr. Tyler, an adjunct fellow at the New America Foundation, had been invited to share his expertise in mobile technology with the entrepreneurs and to write about the trip.
In each port, he asked entrepreneurs about their challenges, and frequently, they cited the difficulty of building networks that would position them for success. After returning to the U.S. he founded Globality and launched it in November.
Simply having a lot of virtual connections doesn't guarantee a high score from Globality, especially if most of the connections are in the same location or are in the same industry. The system maps out the global reach of your network, finds the gaps in it, and helps identify people in various locations you should get to know. As you extend and diversify your social-networking ties, your score improves.
One Globality user, Catlin Powers, co-founder of One Earth Designs, scored a respectable 286 when she put her network to the test recently. Ms. Powers, whose company makes SolSource, a solar-cooking product, has strong entrepreneurial and scientific connections. With Globality's help she said she hopes to expand her network among social entrepreneurs and to make new ties in other fields, such as media and retail.
Globality also provides users with access to more than 1,000 tools that entrepreneurs have found useful, such as online courses and project-management and project-design resources, Mr. Tyler said. These services and the network scoring are free to individuals. But Denver-based Globality plans to profit through enterprise partnerships, including alliances with corporations that want to score their own social-network following.

HONG KONG (Reuters) - China's biggest property developers are sitting on $25 billion in cash as they prepare for a possible credit crunch and another round of crackdowns on real estate speculation.
Companies including Shimao Property Holdings Ltd (0813.HK) and Greentown China Holdings Ltd (3900.HK) raised more than $16 billion in offshore bonds and loans over the first eight months of 2013 - about 36 percent more than in all of 2012. But they have turned more cautious about investing, leaving much of that money on their balance sheets.
China's property sector is a pillar of growth in the world's second biggest economy, accounting for 15 percent of the gross domestic product in the first half of the year. China data released on Wednesday showed new home prices in August rose at the fastest pace in 2-1/2 years strengthening the case for government cooling measures.
Reuters has analyzed data on 76 Chinese property developers that reported June-quarter results, and found that while their cash and short-term investments spiked, their capital spending plans were more conservative.
Thomson Reuters StarMine SmartEstimate data shows China's real estate management and development companies' total capital expenditures are expected to fall 11 percent in the next 12 months, a sharp contrast with property peers in the broader Asia-Pacific region where capex is forecast to rise 6.6 percent.
Developers have curtailed capital spending as the U.S. Federal Reserve's widely expected tapering of bond purchases drives up global interest rates. At the same time, Beijing's renewed crackdown on the country's bubble-prone property market threatens to curb demand, while some cash-starved smaller developers could go bust, flooding the market with cheap property.
"Our financial situation is quite healthy, but we do have concerns for a credit crunch in the industry. The concern does exist for us. We solved our problems already and we are at a very stable situation, but other companies' problems will indirectly affect us - it's all interconnected," said Greentown China Holdings Chief Financial Officer Fung Ching Simon.
"That's why we don't have a very aggressive plan for our sales target for the year."
China has been trying for years to cool property prices, most recently by barring some people in Zhengzhou, the capital of central Henan province, from buying second homes. Analysts expect similar rules in other cities too.
Evergrande and Greentown, two of China's largest developers, both reported jumps of more than 50 percent in cash and cash equivalents in the first six months of the year, helped by strong sales and easy global credit markets.
Greentown said it had raised $1.1 billion via offshore bond issues this year.
"We expanded our funding channels to overseas markets so that we won't be impacted by the domestic conditions as bad as before," said Greentown CFO Fung.
With land prices hitting record highs and authorities renewing their push to rein in house prices, the developers' cash hoards may well prove crucial in a sector where margins are coming under pressure.
The sector's EBITDA margins, a measure of profitability, are the lowest in six quarters as of the June period. In the current year they are expected to rise only marginally to 21.5 percent from 20.7 percent in 2012, according to Thomson Reuters StarMine SmartEstimate data. In 2011, the average EBITDA margin for the sector was 22.6 percent.
"Developers are looking to be more flexible and liquid as a result of capital market, sector and local credit policy uncertainties. Banks will still be accommodative towards the big players, but at least developers recognize the importance of having buffers," said Raghav Bhandari, an analyst with CreditSights, an independent research firm.
Tse Wai Wah, chief financial officer at Evergrande, said the company's land acquisitions would slow the rest of the year, and predicted that smaller developers would feel the brunt of tightening credit conditions.
"Liquidity has been tight since June," he said. "Banks still need to do business and will lend but they will do so selectively. The impact (of tight credit) will be for small-scale developers."
Those smaller developers do not have the same access to overseas credit markets, leaving them reliant on less generous onshore funding. A curb on riskier alternative forms of finance and a credit squeeze in the interbank market have kept funds relatively tight after a shadow bank lending spree that peaked in March. Following tight onshore conditions, shadow banking loans plummeted in July before recovering in August.
China's short-term interest rates shot to as high as 30 percent in late June after the central bank refused to increase the money supply, a decision widely seen as a warning to banks to clamp down on risky lending practices.
Shimao Property Holdings Ltd (0813.HK) highlighted in its earnings presentation in August the importance of speeding up turnover and said it would take steps to "actively deal with credit crunch" including extending the maturity profile of its debt, reducing interest costs and maintaining a higher cash balance.
The company's cash coverage, an indicator of a company's ability to meet its debt obligations, rose to 1.75 times of short term debt as of June 2013 from 1.46 in December 2012. It had 18.9 billion yuan cash on hand as of June 2013, the highest since its stock market listing in 2006.
Cash balances at companies such as Agile Property Holdings Ltd (3383.HK), Evergrande and Country Garden Holdings Co Ltd (2007.HK) are up 30 to 88 percent over the past six months, according to Thomson Reuters data.
Cash-starved smaller developers are proving tempting targets for some of these cash-rich larger players. According to Thomson Reuters data, some $14.9 billion in mergers and acquisitions have been announced this year, already topping 2012's entire tally of $14.7 billion.
"We could see smaller local guys tempted to sell out to big national guys or Hong Kong players," said Guy Stear, analyst with Societe Generale in Hong Kong.
"We will see more consolidation in the Chinese property sector, like we did in the banking sector. It is far too fragmented," he added.

The sentence of 12 years of hard labor for two American journalists in North Korea opens a new chapter in efforts at winning their release.
Analysts in Washington and Seoul agree on that much, after Pyongyang's Korean Central News Agency said Laura Ling and Euna Lee would undergo "reform through labor" for having entered North Korea illegally while reporting for San Francisco-based Current TV along the Tumen River border with China.
The real question, though, is whether the North would be willing to talk further about their fates in a period of worsening confrontation between North Korea and the United States and between North and South Korea.
The two were seized by North Korean soldiers on March 17 and have been held in what's described by the Swedish ambassador to North Korea, representing US interests there, as a "state guest house" near Pyongyang. But their whereabouts since their trial last Thursday is not known.
There is no clue as to where or how they will serve their sentence. Nor has there been any word as to where they were when seized – though it's widely believed they had ventured onto the ice in the frozen river while filming a story on North Korean human rights abuses.
"Undoubtedly the North Koreans view them as a trump card," says Scott Snyder, a Korea expert at the Asia Foundation in Washington, but he warns that any dialogue for their release will be "particularly difficult since the US has been moving toward a tougher approach."
US toughens stance on North Korea
The sentencing coincides with an intensified US effort to obtain approval by the United Nations Security Council of tough sanctions against North Korea in retaliation for the North's underground nuclear test on May 25. The US has produced a draft resolution that is considerably stronger than the resolution adopted by the Security Council after the North's first nuclear test on Oct. 9, 2006.
The draft calls for inspection of cargo vessels suspected of carrying materiel and components for nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons as well as the missiles for firing weapons of mass destruction to distant targets. Another provision of the draft calls for cracking down on financial institutions or companies involved in exporting the equipment that North Korea needs for its nuclear and other weapons programs.
The draft would in effect give approval by the UN Security Council of the provisions of the Proliferation Security Initiative, an effort engineered during the George W. Bush administration for cooperation among dozens of nations in preventing the spread of nuclear weapons.
The sentencing of Ms. Ling and Ms. Lee is expected to complicate US efforts at bringing North Korea to terms. It may not, however, have an immediately noticeable impact.
"My guess is there's going to be a real resistance to conflating this issue with the missile and nuclear issue," says Gordon Flake, executive director of the Washington-based Mansfield Foundation, which sets up programs and exchanges with countries. "The most likely scenario would be to try to hold a separate dialogue with the North Koreans."
Al Gore to the rescue?
One possibility, widely mentioned in recent days, would be for Al Gore, the former vice president and the chairman of Current TV, to go to North Korea in hopes of bringing the women home – or at least negotiating.
"Given Al Gore's ties with Current TV, that would make a good deal of sense," says Mr. Flake, but he adds that Mr. Gore's mission at this stage "might complicate matters" with no guarantee of success.
Neither Gore nor Current TV has commented. Mitch Koss, the producer who was with Ling and Lee but escaped capture, has offered no explanation or account in public of what happened.
The White House said Monday it's working through "all available channels" to bring about the journalists' release. US diplomats may approach the North Koreans at North Korea's mission to the United States, and the Americans are expected to go through contacts in Beijing who do business with North Korea.
Some observers believe that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton added to the problem by not ruling out the possibility of putting North Korea back on the State Department's list of state sponsors of terrorism during an interview Sunday on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."
Clinton's predecessor, Condoleezza Rice, removed the North from the list last October in hopes North Korea would fulfill the promises of 2007 six-party agreements that set up terms for dismantling and disabling its nuclear facilities and giving up its nuclear program.
It is unclear whether Clinton's words were designed to carry a warning to North Korea regarding the journalists. "We're going to look at it," when asked if North Korea might go back on the terror list. "Obviously, we would want to see recent evidence of their support for international terrorism."
In the meantime, it seems certain that "they will be used as bargaining chips," says Tim Peters, an American missionary in South Korea with wide experience with North Korean defectors.
Kam Sang-hun, a longtime activist in Seoul on human rights in North Korea, says he does not take the sentence of the two women seriously.
"You must remember North Korea is not a country of rule of law," he says. "It is not a result of a legal process but of political considerations."

Medicine & Healthcare in Mongolia by Jenny Gunther
First Impressions of Mongolia
The first thing that hit me about Mongolia was the traffic. Taxis, dogs and pedestrians zigzagged across the pothole filled Mongolian 'motorway' amidst a concert of screeching horns - it was then I knew that this really was going to be an adventure!
The formality of the "sain baina uu" (Mongolian for good day) when I first met my host family quickly melted into smiles, joking and laughter - possibly encouraged by the faces full of water from my mischievous host brother's water gun! Some of my fondest memories are of the play wrestling and games we played in the evenings after I got back from volunteering. There's no way you can ever feel like you belong more in Mongolia than living with local people. I truly did see them, and still do see them, as a second family.
My Medical placement
My first work placement was in a hospital, a short bus journey away. I had a lot more opportunities than I would have had in an English hospital, seeing as I was only 17 years old and had very little experience.
My average day began with several operations, followed by an English lesson with my legendary shadow doctor before folding bandages, eating a massive lunch, then ward rounds. The nurses were shy but so lovely if you made an effort to try and talk to them - my Mongolian was poor so we got on fine just constantly smiling at each other!
I love the Mongolian people; they are so sincere but open and humorous. I got completely lost on my first night and asked a local Mongolian for directions - I ended up with a band of about 15 helpers from young boys to old women each pointing different directions to my apartment! I also had great fun with the other volunteers who I saw practically every day when we met up for meals, drinks and sightseeing. It was relaxing to be able to have some decent English banter after so long!
Mongolian Nomad Project
There is no greater contrast to the hustle and noise of the capital Ulaanbaatar than the peaceful, empty windswept steppes a dozen miles down the road. I don't think I have ever seen so much sky. When I arrived, loads of the nomad children appeared out of nowhere and showered me with flowers and took me inside the ger (portable Mongolian hut) to meet my host mother who is the kindest woman I have ever met.
Most of the time I lived in her home I was helping her out with the daily tasks such as milking, cleaning the ger, cooking, collecting water from a hole in the ground and herding the cows on horseback.
I also had a lot of free time which I spent playing basketball with the nomad children, swimming in the river, visiting other gers and generally thinking and re-evaluating the important things in my life. Some of my 'favourite' delicacies were blow-torched marmot and horse bladder!
Other activities
I was also lucky enough to be able to volunteer in a state orphanage in a small village. This was by far the most demanding and psychologically challenging of my experiences; there were many children and the nurses often didn't have time to give them the love and attention they craved for.
I mostly spent the days trying to amuse and control a group of twenty 3 year olds all trying to hug me and play with my watch at the same time. I helped the nurses change nappies, make the beds and feed the children.
The room was basic but I shared it with two amazing but crazy volunteers from Germany and Australia and I have many happy memories of my time there. In the capital I visited a private orphanage; the children were much happier here and we had great fun teaching them some Indian dancing.
I had always loved dreaming of adventures and far-off places, but a dream is nothing compared to a memory. Mongolia really is a place and a people that I shall treasure for the rest of my life.

"I suppose I've come to think of my style as being like a that of a museum, and the one constant element has always been the search for natural character — things that shine on their own merit, not because there is a brand name on it. The most special things are the ones that carry the weight of common history, everyday lives of everyday folk. Unfortunately, they're highly covetable now, so they're harder to find."

Q&A: Candace Parker
Not many players in basketball history can claim to have been rookie of the year, MVP, member of a gold medal winning Olympic team and the star of a global marketing campaign. But Candace Parker can.
By Barry Janoff, Executive Editor, NYSportsJournalism.com
(Posted Feb. 8, 2009)
Candace Parker had a golden year in 2008, and then some. In April, she helped lead the University of Tennessee to its second consecutive national women's NCAA Division I basketball title, and was named "most outstanding player" in the Final Four for the second consecutive year. She then was selected by the Los Angeles Sparks as the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft. In Beijing last summer, she helped guide the US women's basketball team to a gold medal at the Summer Olympics. Among her collegiate accolades in 2008 were the Wooden and Naismith awards. Following her rookie season with the Sparks, during which she averaged 18.5 points and 9.5 rebounds, she was named both rookie of the year and MVP. Parker's endorsement deals include Gatorade, McDonald's and adidas, and she currently is the face of the U.S. segment of adidas' "Me, Myself" campaign, which includes a dedicated Web site where three women will be selected to appear in the marketing effort alongside Parker. She is represented by Goodwin Sports Management. The hoops star and her husband, Shelden Williams of the NBA's Sacramento Kings, currently are expecting their first child. She shared her thoughts with NYSportsJournalism.com.
NYSportsJournalism.com: What was your reaction when adidas described the theme of the "Me, Myself" campaign, and how do you think the campaign itself looks and succeeds in speaking to women?
Candace Parker: I was very honored to be the face of this campaign as I truly believe in the "Me Myself" message. This campaign speaks to all women because it demonstrates that whether you train professionally as a basketball player or enjoy recreational tennis, we all face the same challenges and triumphs. Adidas succeeds in delivering this message because it relates all women to each other no matter the skill, level, or age of the athlete.
NYSJ: You had a great college career and you were named MVP and Rookie of the Year in the WNBA, but put your career into context of being part of a global marketing campaign that also includes Ana Ivanovic, Iridia Salazar and Miwa Asao?
Parker: I am excited to be a part of a campaign that represents a wide spectrum of athletes from different backgrounds and at different points of their careers. We all are similar in that we play our sports with a great passion and commitment while maintaining our femininity in the process.
NYSJ: How much input have you had into the design, styling and marketing of the adidas shoes and clothing you wear?
Parker: Adidas has arranged numerous meetings to get my feedback and ideas concerning the "Me, Myself" product. With me being new to the adidas team this summer, I did not really get a chance to help design and style from scratch with the spring '09 season. The clothes and shoes that I wear I definitely like and think are fashionable. I am big on colors and matching, but also on durability and how comfortable a specific product is to train in. I am more than satisfied with my apparel and I look forward to having a much larger role in the style and design process in the future.
"It is not so much the endorsement companies or the [female] athletes that have to change. It is the perception of female athletes by the consumer."
NYSJ: You have strong marketing alliances, but there are far fewer female athletes than men who top $10 million a year in deals (the Williams sisters, Maria Sharapova and Michelle Wie among them). Does Madison Avenue have to change its mindset to use more women athletes or do the athletes themselves need to do more?
Parker: As time has gone on, more and more female athletes have received greater endorsement deals as a result of the acceptance through time of women in sports. It is not so much the endorsement companies or the athletes that need to change; it is the perception of female athletes by the consumer. More young girls idolize and look up to female athletes than ever before. Lucrative endorsement deals for female athletes are happening more and more and will continue as womens sports steadily evolve.
NYSJ: What is life like as a hoops star in Los Angeles, where basketball icons include Kobe, Magic and Kareem?
Parker: My first season in L.A. was exciting. I enjoyed playing basketball in a big city where losing is definitely not tolerated. From the Galaxy all the way to the Dodgers, Los Angeles expects championships. I hope to bring many championships to the L.A. Sparks. What makes players like Kobe, Magic, and Kareem so iconic is they are all winners and because they raised banners, the city of Los Angeles respected them and their names became iconic.
NYSJ: What has it been like being a teammate and friend of Lisa Leslie (who said she will retire following the 2009 WNBA season)?
Parker: The opportunity to play alongside Lisa Leslie has definitely benefited my career and knowledge for the game. Lisa is one of the greatest to ever play and through her advice and guidance she allowed me to avoid many obstacles that I would have unknowingly faced. As a teammate, she is a motivator and competitor every day. Lisa immediately took me in as more of a little sister. My first few weeks of training camp included oatmeal compliments of Lisa. She taught me things that I did not know, but also reminded me to do the little things daily. Lisa is a great teammate and friend that helped my rookie season go smoothly.
NYSJ: You won't return to the WNBA until late in the season, but what do you predict for the Sparks and the WNBA in 2009?
Parker: I believe great things are in store for the Sparks in 2009. We were so close last year to reaching the finals that it gives us motivation to build on all our mistakes and struggles, but better our strengths for this upcoming season. We will be a better team this year and I truly believe that we will be in the hunt for a WNBA championship.

CPS Shakespeare! Beyond the Stage
Each year we unite a citywide ensemble of approximately 30 CPS students, their English teachers and professional CST artists to produce an original, ensemble-devised abridgement of a Shakespeare play. The students recruited for CPS Shakespeare! are not selected for their theatrical aspirations, but rather for their potential to benefit from the experience. Through more than 100 hours logged during six weeks of rehearsals, these students grow together, providing mutual support for risk-taking, creative expression, personal exploration and academic development. Their work culminates in two public performances in CST's Courtyard Theater.
CPS Shakespeare! alumni have gone on to academic and artistic success in their chosen fields. Some, such as Tony Vega and Warren Baskin, have even returned to the Theater to work in a professional capacity. For the past two summers, Tony has worked as the Assistant Project Manager for Chicago Shakespeare in the Parks, helping to inaugurate and grow CST's initiative that brings free professional Shakespeare productions to neighborhoods across the city. Warren, a three-time participant of CPS Shakespeare! and now a senior at the University of Illinois in Chicago, returns to CST this year as the CPS Shakespeare! intern. He says, "I just remember CPS Shakespeare! as a whole was really a life-changing event for me."
CPS Shakespeare! Othello runs Friday, November 1 at 4:30 p.m. and Saturday, November 2 at 10:30 a.m. in CST's Courtyard Theater. Tickets are $5 and may be purchased by calling Chicago Shakespeare Theater's Box Office at 312.595.5600 or visiting www.chicagoshakes.com/cpsshakespeare.

Taylor Swift and Prince William gave a demonstration in friendly Anglo-American relations on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old pop star attended the Winter White Gala at London's Kensington Palace wearing an ethereal Reem Acra gown, jewelry from Neil Lane, shoes from Rene Caovilla and a Jenny Packham coat and clutch. The winter wonderland-themed event was hosted by the Centrepoint charity to benefit at-risk homeless youth. Wiliam, the Duke of Cambridge, has been working with Centrepoint since 2005.
"I'm absolutely excited," Swift said of performing at the gala (via the Daily Mail). "I don't think I've ever played at a palace before so it is really wonderful. It's really wondrous, I think they've done an amazing job of putting this together."
PHOTOS: Kate Middleton through the years
Swift, who has become known for her very own dry sense of humor, hobnobbed with William and seemed relieved that the prince also shared her wit.
"I was really happy he was funny," she added.
The recent American Music Award winner performed her hits "I Knew You Were Trouble" and "Fifteen" for the roughly 600 attendees, among them Centrepoint's biggest donors.
"I'm Taylor," she said, addressing the audience. "It is very nice to meet you, especially under these circumstances. It is my first time playing at Kensington Palace, or any other palace for that matter.
"I have to thank you, Prince William, for having me. It's amazing. To call attention to this age group especially, teens and young adults," she added. "It is hard enough being in your late teens to early twenties, then the fact that so many kids have to deal with so much more.
"When I was 15 and I didn't get my way or invited to something or got rejected -- which was a lot -- I used to sit in my room and write songs."

The Grammy winner also performed one of her biggest crossover hits, "Love Story."
"This has reference to palaces, princes and princesses and it is very strange that I end up playing it in a palace," she added.
William chatted up Swift and the evening's other performer, Jon Bon Jovi, who was joined onstage by both Swift and William for their rendition of "Livin' on a Prayer," the Mail reported.
William's wife, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, was not in attendance because she was tending to the couple's 4-month-old son, Prince George.
Meanwhile, William's brother Prince Harry, 29, is gearing up for his own charitable expedition, preparing to participate in the Walking With the Wounded challenge, a 200-mile trek though the Antarctic.
"My father was a little bit concerned, I obviously tried to keep him calm by saying the North Pole was the dangerous one because we were walking on frozen ocean, whereas this time, yes, there's crevasses -- but hopefully the guys will take us around that," Harry said at Base Camp (via the U.K.'s Telegraph). "Apart from frostbite and stuff like that you should be able to look after yourself."
The fourth in line to the throne also made sure to poke fun at his older brother's new dad status.
"My brother, I think he's just quite jealous I managed to get away from a screaming child," he added.
[For the record 3:45 p.m. Nov. 27: An earlier version of this post said Swift's dress was designed by Jenny Packham. The dress was designed by Reem Acra.]

The Congo Basin Demise
The vast forest of the Congo Basin is the second largest tropical rainforest on earth and is considered to be the lungs of Africa. Supporting an astonishing range of life, its 500 million acres also help sustain life across the whole planet.
The Congo Basin spans six countries – Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.
Teeming with life (for the moment)
- The Congo Basin's rivers, forests, savannas, and swamps teem with life.
- Many endangered species, including forest elephants, chimpanzees, bonobos, and lowland and mountain gorillas inhabit the lush forests.
- About 400 other species of mammals, 1,000 species of birds and 700 species of fish can also be found here.
- There are approximately 10, 000 species of tropical plants in the Congo Basin and 30 percent are unique to the region.
50 000 years' knowledge of medicinal plants
The Congo Basin has been inhabited by humans for more than 50,000 years and it provides food, medicine, fresh water, materials and shelter to more than 75 million people.
Among some 150 different ethnic groups, the Ba'Aka, BaKa, BaMbuti, Efe and other related groups – often referred to as Pygmies – are representatives of an ancient hunter-gatherer lifestyle. They possess an incredible knowledge of the forest, its animals and its medicinal plants. Their lives and well-being are linked intimately with the forest.
The forest and the life it sustains is under huge threat
It is extremely rich in wood, oil and minerals such as diamonds, gold and coltan (used to make cell phones), but current methods and rates of extracting these resources are unsustainable and threaten the future of this vast wilderness area.
Logging, oil palm plantations and road development are putting pressure on the forests and rivers. The biggest threats come from industrial logging and large-scale agriculture.
The construction of roads has greatly facilitated access to remote forest areas for hunters and poachers.
The unsustainable hunting of wildlife for the commercial bushmeat market threatens to wipe out many species. In the DRC alone, over a million tons of bushmeat are consumed each year.
The Congo Basin and climate change
The Congo Basin is the fourth largest carbon reservoir in the world. It plays a critical role in regulating the global climate and halting runaway climate change.
Old-growth forests in Central Africa store huge volumes of carbon in their vegetation and tree trunks (39 billion tons) that act as an important buffer against climate change.
If nothing is done to stop the increased fragmentation of intact forests, not only will wildlife suffer, but carbon storage will be reduced, forest fires may increase, and the forests' resilience to climate change will be damaged. It may also displace forest peoples who have lived in these areas for thousands of years.
Save the Congo Basin
Greenpeace and civil society are playing a huge role in the battle to save the Congo Basin forest from agricultural plantations and logging.
In the face of the huge threats in the Congo Basin forest, people from all over central Africa are standing up for forest protection and for the right to take back their lives, culture and future.
To support this movement and spread it along the Congo Basin, the Esperanza ship, the largest of the Greenpeace fleet, sailed along the coast of Central Africa from October 13 to November 10 2017 with the aim of connecting people from all over the world to resist forest destruction.

m0digital needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 32 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
Mountain Blasting will be launching soon and we need a logo! We are a social mapping startup for people who love to blast through scenic routes. Users will plot their routes and share with others as well as upload pictures and videos. Users will also be able to organize group events to enjoy the routes together.
Mountain Blasting (casing not too important)
Mountain Blasting is all about having fun and enjoying great scenic drives. We want a logo that is simple and easy to recognize. The logo will be on our website as well as printed on business cards and bumper stickers.
I was thinking a composition of mountains and roads but am open to any ideas.
I've always like the Basecamp mountain logo of 37signals: http://www.37signals.com/
Feel free to be as creative!
- Photoshop PSD file to allow resizing
- Passionate and vibrant colors such as red and orange. Dark red is good too
- Curvy roads (dotted lines may help convey the idea of a road, but can live without it)
- Fun but not cartoonish
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.
