He said: "You know what Thierry gives you; he g...

When Reality Brings More Drama Than Fiction
How far would you go to please your family and friends? The email I received read: "My best friend did the fake wedding thing in Vegas! The guy decided he didn't want to after she'd told her entire family, friends and co-workers." Imagine my surprise that the fiction world that I created for Nicolette Montana in the novel My Invisible Husband was someone's actual reality.
June 2006 — When does fiction become reality? I've received emails from women who admit to being tired of people always in their business.
After I received the email about the best friend faking a Las Vegas wedding, I was intrigued. I wanted to get into the mind of the woman who went through with it. The fictional character Nikki did it because she was insecure and did it for the sake of appearances. As the novel suggests, lying is not the answer and this true-life story will vouch for that.
The woman who faked the wedding unfortunately is dealing with a lot emotionally from the real life charades. The best friend agreed to talk to me about it in more details. She's not afraid to use her real name, however she respects her friends privacy, so for the interview I agreed to use the pseudonym "Jackie Boston."
Here are just a few questions that Jackie answered concerning her friend:
How long did your friend's charade take place before she told you?
"A year passed before she actually told me…"
How did this affect your friendship? Have you been forced to lie to people too? "…Since she went through such measures to protect her fabricated marital bliss, I just supported her…"
What advice would you give others who have lied about relationships just to appease other folks? After experiencing this situation through my friends eyes and a few of my own crumbled relationships, I'd say just be real. Lies will come to light one day; one-way or another. The stress from the conniving is not worth your dignity, sanity and most of all, relationships with friends and relatives. Once discovered, you are labeled as a liar, but now, an insane liar. Self-dignity is well worth preserving.
Jackie Boston's best friend faked a Las Vegas wedding. In My Invisible Husband, the fictional character, Nikki Montana, faked a Las Vegas wedding. How far would you go to please your family and friends?

Special Order
New York Times bestselling author Belva Plain goes to the heart of what it means to be a woman, a wife, and a friend, in her powerful new novel--a story of love and betrayal that measures the limits of loyalty, friendship, and forgiveness.
They met at school and have been inseparable ever since: Cecile, confident, elegant daughter of privilege; Norma, extraordinarily gifted and sadly troubled; and beautiful, ambitious Amanda, determined to rise above her humble southern beginnings. Two are married. One despairs of ever finding love. Three women. Leading their busy adult lives. Yet first and always: friends.
Then something unexpected happens that forever alters their long, complicated friendship. A pivotal event, a shattering act of betrayal shifts the balance of power between husbands and wives, parents and children, sisters and brothers. And in the months that follow, each of them will look at their families, their lives--and one another--differently.
And none of them will ever be the same.
About the Author
Belva Plain captured readers' hearts with her first novel, Evergreen, which Delacorte published more than 30 years ago. It topped the New York Times best-seller list for 41 weeks and aired as an NBC-TV miniseries. In total, more than 20 of her books have been New York Times best sellers. Before becoming a novelist, Belva Plain wrote short stories for many major magazines, but taking care of a husband and three children did not give her the time to concentrate on the novel she had always wanted to write. When she looked back and said she didn't have the time, she felt as though she had been making excuses. In retrospect, she said, "I didn't make the time." But, she reminded us, during the era that she was raising her family, women were supposed to concentrate only on their children. Today 30 million copies of her books are in print. A Barnard College graduate who majored in history, Belva Plain enjoyed a wonderful marriage of more than 40 years to Irving Plain, an ophthalmologist. Widowed for more than 25 years, Ms. Plain continued to reside in New Jersey, where she and her husband had raised their family and which was still home to her nearby children and grandchildren until her death in October 2010. From the Hardcover edition.

"An accomplished storyteller."

Climate Change Investment Totals USD $359 Billion Worldwide
21 Oct, 2013, 19:01 ET from Climate Policy Initiative
The most comprehensive inventory of climate finance to-date shows investment is far short of the need, and falling further behind each year
Public sector played a central role, private investment provided the lion's share of finance
Most investment was domestic; less finance flowed between countries, highlighting private investors' preference for familiar policy environments where they perceive less risk
More large scale power capacity was installed for less money
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Oct. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Global investment in climate change plateaued at USD $359 billion in 2012, roughly the same as the previous year, according to a new Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) study, "The Global Landscape of Climate Finance 2013." Once again the figure falls far short of what's needed. The International Energy Agency projects that an additional investment of USD 5 trillion is required by 2020 for clean energy alone, to limit warming to two degrees Celsius. However, the gap is likely wider: The World Bank projects we are on a path to four degree Celsius warming, suggesting that efforts to scale up finance are falling further and further behind.

Public sector played a central role, private investment provided the lion's share of finance
Public sources provided $135 billion, or 38% of total finance, and played a critical role in enabling private finance through incentives, low-cost loans, risk coverage mechanisms, direct project investment, and technical support. These public measures facilitated $224 billion in private investment, or 62% of total investment, from sources such as project developers ($102 bn); manufacturers and corporations ($66 bn); and households ($33 bn).
While public support for climate activities was significant, it was still dwarfed by current government support to fossil fuel energy consumption and production, estimated at $523 billion each year for developing and emerging economies alone, according to a recent report from the OECD.
"Investment to combat and adapt to climate change is happening around the world, but it's short of where it needs to be and efforts to grow it have not been successful enough," said Thomas C. Heller, Executive Director of Climate Policy Initiative, while announcing the report at the Global Green Growth Forum. "Leveling the playing field can help unlock significant additional finance."
Most investment was domestic, less finance flowed between countries
Climate investment was split almost evenly between developed and developing countries, with $177 billion and $182 billion respectively. Private investment into renewable energy projects in Europe totaled $73 billion, while investment in China was $68 billion, the U.S. $27 billion, Latin America $7 billion, and India $5 billion. Notably, Latin America also received additional $19 billion in public money.
However, 76%, or $275 billion, of all spending was domestic: It originated in the country in which it was used. Of the remaining $84 billion that flowed between countries, a significant amount was private money flowing between developed countries. On the other hand, public sector money made up the vast majority of developed to developing country flows. These figures illuminate a bias by private investors toward environments that are more familiar and perceived to be less risky.
"Currently, climate finance is mostly a domestic game," said Barbara Buchner, Senior Director at Climate Policy Initiative. "This implies that effective national policy is critical to increasing climate finance globally. There may also be an opportunity to increase international flows, by addressing the perception of additional risk in overseas investments."
In large-scale renewable energy, less finance is doing more
The study has some good news: that less finance is deploying more large-scale renewable energy. In 2012, there was less investment in large scale projects than in the past. This investment was focused on fewer projects, but resulted in greater capacity. This suggests that developers are achieving greater economies of scale and bringing technology costs down.

Many people would love to have a whirlpool bathtub in their home; however, most people don't understand how they work or how to maintain them. In this article, we'll provide the basic, yet important information consumers need to drop their fear of whirl pools. We'll also add valuable tips on how to use and maintain a whirlpool bathtub – it's easier than most people think.
Are There Differences Among Spa Bathtubs?
Not all whirlpool tubs are the same. There are two primary types of spa tubs to choose from; a whirlpool or an airspa. A whirlpool tub is characterized by the jets installed about half-way up on each side of the bathtub and a point of suction, which is found in a bottom corner. A whirlpool system creates a hydro-massage by sucking the water from the bathtub and pumping it through the jets from controlled pressure. An airspa produces a less powerful jet of water, because there is a different mix of air and water as well as less pressure. A whirlpool's jets are stronger than the jets of an airspa, which are basically air bubbles that forced through the water in the tub.
How to Use a Spa Tub
To enjoy a spa bath, simply fill the bathtub with water at the desired temperature. Turn the timer clockwise to turn on. Get in the tub and direct the jets towards the muscles. To direct the jets, place your finger inside of the jet opening and gently move the spray to the left, right, upwards or downwards. Adjust the pressure of water by turning the jets clockwise to reduce pressure and counter clockwise to increase the pressure.
Cleaning and Maintaining a Whirlpool or Airspa Tub
Cleaning a whirlpool tub requires more than simply cleaning the bathtub itself. To prevent the buildup of bacteria, it is important to clean the jets, pipes and nozzles as well. Fortunately, cleaning the entire bathtub as well as the jet plumbing is an easy process. Before cleaning your whirlpool tub, you should take a few minutes to read the manufacturer's manual to see what type of cleaning is recommended. Some manufacturers recommend specific cleaners or suggest jets to be open during cleaning. Once you have read the manual, follow these tips for a quick and easy cleaning process.
Close air controls on all of the individual jet and fill the tub with water, making sure the jets are submerged in about three inches of water. Add about two tablespoons of powdered dish washing detergent and half a cup of bleach to the water. If you prefer to not use bleach, one cup of vinegar can be substituted. Run the jets for about 20 minutes. Drain and refill the tub with warm water, covering the jets with about three inches of water, run the jets for another 10 minutes to thoroughly rinse. Drain the water. Use a soft cotton cloth to wipe down the tub and all of the nozzles. Use a cotton swab to get into the small crevices of the nozzles. If you use the spa on a regular basis, it should be thoroughly cleaned once each month to prevent bacteria from building up in the jets.
Enjoying a spa bath is relaxing; however, in order to keep your tub clean and bacteria free, it is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the use of bubble bath or bath salt products. In most situations, you cannot use oils or salts in a whirlpool tub, because these products can clog the motor due to the circulation of water. However, the water of an airspa tub does not come in contact with the pump or the motor, so in most situations, bath oils or salts are safe to use.

Gators Dominate Coaches All-Conference Team
Defending conference and national champion Florida had a league-high 16 players named to the coaches preseason All-Southeastern Conference football teams.
The Gators had eight first-team picks, led by quarterback Tim Tebow and linebacker Brandon Spikes. Last season, as a junior, Tebow led the Gators to a 13-1 record and their second bcs championship in three years -- while throwing for 30-touchdowns and over 2700-yards. He also ran for 12-touchdowns. Twin lineman Mike & Maurkice Pouncey are also on the league's first-team while lineman Carl Johnson and running back Jeff Demps make the second-team... and tight end aaron hernandez makes the third team. Meanwhile, Spikes is one of three Gators on the first-team all-SEC defense -- along with defensive end Carlos Dunlap and cornerback Joe Haden. Last season, Spikes led the Gators with 93-tackles to go along with four interceptions -- with the Gators ending up 4th nationally in scoring defense. Strong safety Ahmad Black made the league's second-team defense while free safety Major Wright, cornerback Janoris Jenkins and senior linebacker Ryan Stamper all made the league's third-team defense.
Also, senior Brandon James is the first-team kick returner -- the 2008 southeastern conference special teams player of the year, James ranks first in the gators record book for single-season and career punt return yards and is tied for the school record for career punt returns for touchdowns with four -- a total that's third best in the sec history. While punter Chaz Henry makes the first-team and kicker Jonathan Phillips makes the 2nd-team

FAQ: Dish's $25.5 Billion Bid for SprintBy
First, the news: This morning Dish Network announced an unsolicited $25.5 billion bid to buy Sprint Nextel, the third-largest U.S. wireless carrier behind Verizon and AT&T. Now the questions.
What happened to SoftBank?
Nothing, other than a Monday morning surprise. SoftBank, a Japanese cellular firm with a confusing name, had agreed in October to buy 70 percent of Sprint for $20 billion in cash and stock. The boards of directors of both companies approved the deal, and it looked all but done—regulators were scheduled to weigh in next month, with no significant opposition expected. Now the pressure is back on SoftBank to sweeten its offer.
A bidding war?
The markets seem to think so. Dish's bid, at roughly $7 a share, represents a 13 percent premium over SoftBank's. Sprint shares opened around $7.20 this morning, a sign that investors expected SoftBank to sweeten its offer; trading has mellowed out since.
What's in it for Dish, aka the meanest company in America?
A more competitive offering. Dish says that buying Sprint would make it the only company that can offer a "convenient, fully-integrated, nationwide bundle of in- and out-of-home video, broadband and voice services." That's a shot at Sprint's wireless competitors: Verizon and AT&T both have TV offerings, but they have been costly. "I would fully expect Dish to be hugely disruptive in the mobile business, but still decently profitable," said Wunderlich Securities analyst Matthew Harrigan. "It could even be more disruptive than its entry into the TV business in the '90s."
Are there regulatory issues?
Probably not. Given the power of Verizon and AT&T, analysts don't expect a Dish-Sprint tie-up to hit antitrust hurdles. On the contrary, Dish says the deal would be particularly good news for rural consumers who don't have access to traditional broadband. If there's anything FCC commissioners like, it's rural consumers.
How about that David Einhorn?
Right? Einhorn's Greenlight Capital snapped up a bunch of Sprint shares as the company swooned in recent years. At the end of the first quarter last year, when Sprint shares were wallowing below $3, Greenlight had 68 million of them.

Rental compression gauge will work, key is to do the test in a manner that'll give useable results.
Got a battery charger?
The best way to get good numbers that I know, is to:
1. remove all spark plugs
2. reinsert plugs into their wire & ground to engine (laying them on a metal engine part that's NOT insulated from the block works) this gives the spark somewhere safe to go when you crank the engine
3. Screw adapter/gauge into the first plug hole (which end you start with doesn't matter, but #1 is by the belt end)
4. crank over engine with gas pedal to the floor until the gauge needle stops going up, then record that number - release the pressure to remove the gauge - and go to the second cyl.
5. after doing the same procedure on the second cyl., charge up the battery before doing the third & fourth (how essential this is depends on your battery condition, a good battery could do all 4, while a poor one might need charging between each to get consistent cranking speed)
6. Now you can check the results
Exact numbers can vary between gauges, the first check is to look for variation between the cylinders - this should be within 10% for an engine in good condition. For example, if you see 140 psi on 3, and one is at 125 psi - that one is JUST out of the "normal" range and bears watching in the future. If you saw one at 75 psi, the engine may have a problem and is likely running rough - time to recheck by redoing the test to confirm your results.
As a rule of thumb, 5 to 10 psi variation falls within the normal range for a good engine, while more than that should be rechecked & watched for changes (it's good practice to check compression at each engine maintenance time to get base line numbers & note any changes).
Unusually high or low numbers across the board CAN be indicative of certain issues (engine wear or carbon build up at two extremes) but it's not time to panic when you aren't sure of the particular gauge's accuracy. There are other signs & tests we can describe, besides trying a different gauge, to determine exactly what's going on if the initial results don't look good!

School Orders Cross Removed From Football Helmets
A Wisconsin school district has ordered a joint public-private school football team to change its logo – in the middle of the season — after a lone parent said the inclusion of a bishop's hat and cross was a violation of the U.S. Constitution.
Martin Lexmond, superintendent of the Shorewood School District, told Fox News that he made the decision to remove the logos after consulting with the school board.
"It just didn't occur to anybody that there might be questions about it," he said. "A parent last week raised the question asking if this was a violation of separation of church and state."
The school district has a unique partnership with a Messmer, private Roman Catholic high school. In 2000 the two small schools joined forces to create a football co-op.
Bob Smith, president of the Catholic school, told WTMJ that he was "not happy" about the decision and said it "is hurtful for the kids."
"It's going to be hurtful for the kid who designed the logo..it's going to be hurtful for the team," he told the radio station.
The new logo was created a few months ago by a Shorewood student and put on football helmets in August. Football coaches from both schools along with high school administrators signed off on the project.
The new logo included a greyhound logo of Shorewood and a bishop's hat with a cross that represented Messmer.
"It's clearly a Christian cross," school board member Michael Mishlove told Mequonnow.com. "I think it's inappropriate to have on a uniform or any sort of school authorized clothing, as I think it could be viewed as an endorsement."
Lexmond agreed – and decided to censor the logo – instead of pursue the matter.
"We don't know the answer to the question of separation of church and state but we are choosing to focus on the story of our young people – not on that question," he told Fox News.
It's a case of classic liberal intolerance, said Paul Kengor, executive director of Grove City College's Center for Vision and Values.
"This is the kind of nutty hysteria that has become all too common in this country, and it's the direct result of a fundamental misunderstanding of 'separation of church and state'," Kengor told Fox News. "It's fitting that this would happen here; that is, in a school. It's precisely in schools that this misunderstanding is bred."
But Lexmond said he has no interest in finding out whether the football logo violates the Constitution. He said it's more important to stay focused on the "life lessons" of their public-private partnership where "kids from very different worlds have learned to work together."
Tom Pope teaches Constitutional Law at Lee University. He said the football logo did not put the school district on the edge of a Constitutional crisis.
"It is hard to argue that the logo with a cross on it advances religion in any substantive way," Pope told Fox News.
Regardless, he said the school board is well within its Constitutional rights to change the logo.
"They just don't have to do so," he stressed.
So what will the school district tell the child whose logo got censored?
"This is actually a teachable moment," he said. "This is real-world learning. We're going to work with him again. We're going to partner with Messmer and next year we will have a design that represents both schools that doesn't pull us into these kinds of questions."
But what happens if someone objects to the public school's greyhound logo?
"We would listen and be thoughtful and consider if there were alternatives," Lexmond replied.
Officials with the Catholic school did not return calls seeking comment – but Kengor said they are the ones who should be most offended.
"They should be offended by the intolerance of the self-proclaimed champions of tolerance who are demanding that they not be permitted to use their own symbols," Kengor said. "They're being told they can't use their own symbols, merely because those symbols are religious."
But Lexmond is sticking by his belief that this is a "teachable moment."
"The teachable moment is sometimes clients change their minds," he said. "They come back to you and ask you to reconsider, rethink, redesign, and so that's an opportunity for us to help our young people learn what it's like in a graphic design world."
Kengor said he's not terribly surprised by the school's reaction.
"This is classic liberal intolerance," he said. "Whatever happened to liberals believing in diversity? Not where religions is concerned, apparently."

Businessman-turned-advocate champions education
Louisville's Sam Corbett is a problem solver. A former executive, finding creative solutions is a must when your formalwear business revolves around immovable deadlines like wedding dates and proms.
When he decided to leave his family business, Sam Meyers Formalwear, he followed a yen that had been building in him for years: to continue his involvement in education, where he'd served on the Jefferson County Public Schools board, on the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence, and with the University of Louisville.
"I left the business at the end of 2011. It was the only thing I'd done since I was 15 years old," said Corbett, whose defining feature is the energy he brings to whatever task is at hand.
"I spent 21 years in the tuxedo business and there was something that was just pulling on me," said Corbett, whose grandfather founded Sam Meyers in 1905.
"There was a part of me that said, 'I want to try something else.' And I knew that I would end up doing something that was related to education, because I had spent a lot of time as a volunteer."
His first taste was through a school/business partnership Sam Meyers had with the Youth Performing Arts School in Louisville — a natural fit, he said, given the formal nature of orchestra attire.
"That's how I became exposed to leadership in education," he remembered — and it lit a fire. Next he threw his hat into the ring to be considered for an unexpired school board seat in Jefferson County in the early 1990s. He went on to run and sat on the board for eight years.
"It was the best experience I ever had — and it's the hardest job in the United States," he laughed. "You don't get paid, it's a full-time job, and someone is always upset."
KET is one of the few vehicles, from a statewide perspective, that you can hear viewpoints and ideas related to education.
That experience, which he calls "the purest form of public service," galvanized him to make a difference to public schools, where he is particularly gripped by its mission to serve all students.
"Two of my three children went to public school, and I think the great part about public education is that your child is sitting in the classroom with kids where some are like them and some are totally unlike them," he said. "And the city today has become so diverse! Something like 100-plus languages are spoken, and it's really become a kind of melting pot."
Today, Corbett is executive director of the Jefferson County Public Education Foundation, a non-profit organization that exists to create, strengthen, and connect the dots between needs in the public schools and the businesses and individuals who want to help them.
"There are a lot of caring, concerned people who are willing to help," he said. "So the challenge is, how do we find ways to get them engaged — through their business, their church, their clubs. There is a lot of expertise we could tap into."
That idea man, forged in formalwear, now comes to the fore in his new ventures.
"I think I'm very creative in solving problems. I try to take the skillset that I used for many years and try to do the same thing as it relates to public education. You can't run schools like you run a business, but there are principles that are applicable."
Corbett's ideas, and his deep understanding of the issues, are enhanced by his attentive viewing of KET's public affairs and educational issue programs — such as Kentucky Tonight and Education Matters.
"KET is one of the few vehicles, from a statewide perspective, that you can hear viewpoints and ideas related to education," he said.
"Just this week [on Kentucky Tonight], the panel included the co-chairs of the House Education Committee, the new executive director for the Prichard Committee, and education analyst for the Bluegrass Institute for Public Policy Solutions. So there's a great opportunity right there.
"What other opportunity is there," he added, "other than KET, to get that kind of statewide perspective of what's happening related to education?"

"Absolutely yummy, this is a keeper."
"I have made this many times. We love it. I cut the salt to 1/4 tsp or omit altogether. I use bread crumbs in place of crackers. I shape it to fit my crockpot, place it on aluminum foil with holes poked in it to release the fat, put it on a rack or a couple of jar covers side-by-side and cook it on low for 4-5 hours. Pour the sauce on the top of the loaf for the last 30-45 minutes. This is delicious!"
"This meatloaf is very good. I found after making it according to the directions that the next time it worked better for me to make half the sauce and to use only 1/2 a cup of milk. Tasty and different from most meatloaf recipes."
"The sauce I knew would be too sweet for our taste. I didn't use any of the brown sugar, and instead used less milk and a little ketchup in the meat mixture, and of course on top. I also used more spice, garlic powder, marjoram and a lot of pepper as is our preference. Almost carmelizing the onions is something I've always done, it adds a lot more flavor to the meatloaf. I've never measured the crackers, I just crumble until it looks right :-) This recipe, with my modifications, is how my mom made meatloaf, minus the onions."
"Good recipe, but the sauce was a bit too sweet and tasted more like a barbecue sauce. I would cut the amount of sugar by half next time. I baked mine in muffin tins at 350 for about 30 minutes."

Ok, but I specifically want an exact rational result, so numerical routines
are no good unless they are reimplemented in exact rationals.
Anyway, I've heard from the Mathematica folks that ConstrainedMax is a
primal simplex using a dense representation, so may not be optimal for my
problem (sparse and with many more constraints than variables). But in the
absense of better alternatives I'm likely to try it anyway.

Drew Anderson had a cup of coffee in the majors with the 2006 Milwaukee Brewers.
Anderson hit .293/.370/.366 as a college freshman at the University of Nebraska and .266/.378/.319 the next year. As a junior, he batted .238/.324/.341, yet was chosen by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 24th round of the 2003 amateur draft. He was signed by scout Harvey Kuenn Jr. and debuted with the Helena Brewers and batted .318/.420/.425, better than he ever had in college. Anderson spent 2004 with the Beloit Snappers, putting up a .307/.372/.410 line and stealing 13 bases in 17 tries. His .995 fielding percentage led Midwest League outfielders and he tried Brian Dopirak for 7th in batting average.

Anderson was 5th in the Southern League in batting average that year.
In 2007, Anderson spent most of the year back with Nashville, where he hit .276/.324/.395 with 16 steals in 21 tries in 108 games. He fielded .994 in the outfield. He also played a dozen games with Huntsville in mid-season, hitting .444 and having a pair of 4-hit games with the Stars. Prior to the 2008 season, he was claimed on waivers by the Cincinnati Reds.

Dorothea Lasky Interviews Cassandra Gillig at Los Angeles Review of Books
Stardate: [-27] 00640.00 = Day 1 of Dorothea Lasky's stead at Los Angeles Review of Books and the inaugural post in her new column called "Five Questions and Five Answers with Dorothea Lasky." Dip your toe into this newly discovered effervescent universe from a diving board located right here, right now:
HELLO AND WELCOME to my new poetry column, "Five Questions and Five Answers with Dorothea Lasky," where I (you guessed it!) interview a new poet each column about their poetry, poetics, and other related issues. In it, I hope to broaden the discourse surrounding contemporary poetry.
The first poet I have chosen to interview is the absolutely electrifying Cassandra Gillig! Here is some information about her:
Cassandra co-edits Big Lucks Books with Mark Cugini and Same Text, a revival press started to reprint Hannah Weiner's Clairvoyant Journals, with Nathaniel Otting. Her poetry album, Sex Beach, was recently released by Black Cake Records, and her mash-ups can be found on her blog or band camp.
Cassandra created a mash-up with one of my poems, "Who to Tell," and Beyoncé's "Drunk in Love" specifically for this column, and I am so honored. The link is below.
Without further ado, here are five questions and five answers:
You have done some really cool mash-ups of poetry and hip-hop songs that places like The Poetry Foundation and NYU Local have written about, where you did things like mix Frank O'Hara's "Ode to Joy" with Drake's "Best I Ever Had" to create the new song "Ode to the Best I Ever Had." I think when I first saw these, I realized we were soulmates. I think a lot of people felt this way, which means something for how important hip-hop is to contemporary poetry. What made you decide to do this, and do you have plans for any future mash-ups?
Thank you for the compliments! My soul is way honored. I originally started making the mash-ups with my own poems. I was interested in the way that you can manipulate an audience's emotional response to a poem by putting music behind it. Eventually I started working with recordings of other poets because it was more fun (I am a bad poet — no good — it was boring). I have always found that my favorite poets are ones who are so impassioned and invested in the things they are saying that it almost sounds like they're singing. You're a good example of this. Poets Dana Ward and Alice Notley are another two that quickly come to mind. Some poets have such a ridiculously good sense of rhythm in everything they write. Actually, people have a natural rhythm that arises during conversation that many don't notice. Like, some say that iambic pentameter "perfectly fills the lungs," thus is an accurate reflection of the natural rhythms of human speech. And it's true if you think about the way that you're generally drawn to speak. So a lot of poetry is written to a meter that — whether consciously or not — plays into that really pleasing cadence of conversation. Poets are a lot more cognizant of this than other writers, I think. Anyway, the mash-ups made all of this terribly evident to me, and this discovery really ended up being what carried the project along, kept me trying out new poets and new songs. This will be an experiment that goes on for forever, since it's something that's very much changed the way I look at poetry. I will keep making mash-ups until I die, or until I get sued. […]

State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations
State House
Providence, Rhode Island 02903-1196
Donald L. Carcieri
November 4, 2007
In accordance with the provisions of Section 14, Article IX of the Constitution of the State of Rhode Island and Section 43-1-4 of the Rhode Island General Laws, I transmit, with my disapproval 2007-S 1152, "An Act Relating to Primary Elections."
This act would change the Presidential Preference Primary from March 4, 2008 to February 5, 2008. The act also amends the date requirements for declaration of candidacy and for party affiliation for delegates, the filing dates for presidential candidates, the signature collection deadlines, and the signature certification timetable.
Although some may believe that a February Presidential Preference Primary might allow Rhode Island primary voters to feel more relevant to the nomination process, changing the date this late hour would create an excessive burden on the local boards of canvassers. Over the past three days, most of the boards have written to express their opposition. However, this option should be fully explored in a fashion more consistent with a fair, open, and transparent process. All stakeholders should be afforded the courtesy of conveying their support, opposition, and/or concerns with this legislation.
The advertising and disaffiliation dates that were changed in this act, the required training for poll workers, as well as the logistical and financial issues involved will prove significant burdens to the local boards of canvassers. Therefore, to enact this piece of legislation at this late time would place an undue hardship on local communities who have planned fiscally and otherwise for the upcoming 2008 election cycle.
A version of this legislation was originally introduced on February 15, 2007. The original legislation was approved by the Senate but never considered by the House of Representatives. It was not until October 30, 2007 during a special legislative session to override a number of my vetoes that a brand new version of this legislation emerged without official notice. Because the local boards of canvassers were not notified in a timely manner that this legislation would be considered, they had no opportunity to testify on the bill's merits or to raise logistical or financial concerns. As a result, the people being asked to undertake these tasks were denied there civic privilege of testifying on the aforementioned new version of the bill.
Had a version of this legislation been enacted during the regular legislative session that ended in June, I would have allowed it to become law without my signature. However, because it was enacted at such a late date in the process without the opportunity for testimony and because it will place unexpected and difficult burdens on local boards of canvassers and other citizens attempting to participate in the primary election process, I have no choice but to object.
For these reasons, I disapprove of this legislation and respectfully urge your support for this veto.

I saw how Tuts+ is so commercialized through partnerships with various vendors and having their products priced really high.
Now with CodeCanyon, I feel it's heading in the same direction. Who else here thinks its going to kill competition? Like for instance, a slider that's very professional and priced at $50, to compete against it, you got to have something super remarkable; meaning, you'll have to spend months or maybe a year or two making one script and that too, won't have your item priced equally. I really think on part of this community, this is not the right move; selling out to commercial motives. It's almost like an indication to kick us authors out.
And on top of that, that item was also featured; in other words, CC is directing all its efforts in marketing the script for mutual benefit and profitability. How is this good for the community?
Hi designcise,
Surely needing to make a better scripts is good for competition? If one of the best scripts in a particular category is the most expensive then you need to make something better to attain that level. If a script that was inferior was the same price then it's misleading to buyers / not fair on the author of the original file.
Over time if scripts don't keep up with the competition then their price is reduced (Not sure if that works both ways) so there's always the incentive to keep improving files.
Personally I think that it's fair that best scripts are featured and given exposure as long as they ARE the best scripts as the author deserves it
i knew this would be one of the most obvious things that would be said, "up your game to meet the competition"—you just don't see beyond that. i'm always up for a good competition, everyone around here is, but when you mix the commercial element into a community it just takes away a lot from it. unfair competition would be one, where i'm sure they aren't going to price our items @ $50, these are all commercial partnerships due to which they have to price it that high. anyway, i just wanted to throw an opinion out there, won't continue replying in this thread because it would probably lead to an undesired argument, but would love to see what everyone has to say about this. would prefer though, if everyone didn't think one-dimensionally.
Could you post a link to the items that you are referring to?
look for slide deck pro on the homepage ..
Hi designcise,
I don't think this is "killing the marketplace", I mean, the situation is not too bad. $50 is quite a lot for a plugin and you can still be competitive and make more money with a $20-priced item.
What I really found odd and somehow offensive was the fact that the item got featured. I don't think it was deserved…
@raspo .. same here .. but if they don't market the product, both the parties don't benefit from it and that's where the unfair competition bit kicks in and i know they're going to give us all the reasons in the world to prove they're right and we're wrong, but the marketplace is clearly being commercialized.
MattLowden's answer was expected because it's really the only answer. An item is priced in accordance to its quality and feature set.
I have reviewed many JavaScript items, and while many of them are good, they don't go far enough to be considered "wow"ing. Authors, at least in the JavaScript category, tend to target customers who have little to no experience with programming and/or JavaScript. It's fine targeting that audience, but there's another audience that seems to be completely ignored: developers.
I write software for a living. When I, or my coworkers, look for a component to add to our project, we look at several factors. The biggies are:
- How customizable it is
- The data formats it supports (out of the box, of course)
- If it has a good programmable API
- The end-user's experience
In comparison with the items I see on a daily basis, the majority of items are customizable; they offer many features that modifies the item's behavior. Most also offer a good end-user experience. Sometimes they don't, and I offer suggestions on how to make it more natural. But that seems to be where it ends. Most of the items that work with external data only work with one data format—other formats are ignored for one reason or another. Programmable APIs are pretty much non-existent.
As a developer, I don't want to buy a component and spend hours making modifications to make it usable in my project. The four things listed above go a long way towards making my life (as a developer) easier. Otherwise, I should just write it myself.
Balancing between the two audiences can sometimes be a challenge, but I guarantee you it will get you a good price on the marketplace.
Raspo said
What I really found odd and somehow offensive was the fact that the item got featured. I don't think it was deserved…
+1 – it's a commercial piece of software that's been around for a long time. Seems to me it was only featured because of a "mutual agreement" between the developers and envato.
Why does it, but not an item that has made more than 100 sales in just ten days, has a full five star rating, and was one of the top selling items for the last two weeks? While I understand that their are always reasons for featuring an item, I think it needs to be rethought a little . . .
I think that $50 for an item is plain unbelievable, but if it deserves it, then fine.
However, other products may get attention because not everybody can afford a $50 item…However, that item is more expensive then the most beautiful themes I've ever seen?
Don't want to advertise but to prove a point:
Has had over 1700 sales.
I can't see this item even coming close to that record.

I'm not proud of this, but at the back of my mind I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm mostly left-wing-ish because anything else is just so achingly uncool. The combination of my stupid name and my dress sense led someone to assume I was a Tory a couple of years ago, and I went clothes shopping at the next available opportunity. (I probably should have changed my name by deed poll, too.) It's not that I instinctively dislike people on the right, or have a considered view on the problems with their philosophy. It's just that I can't stand their taste in music, or in books, or in movies, and I barely ever think their jokes are funny. This, I have always assumed, is a decent enough analogue for their political wisdom.
The surprising result of this terrible failing in my character is that I find myself in deep sympathy with Newt Gingrich, who has been forced to stop playing the Rocky theme tune at his campaign events after the song's writer found out what he was up to and withdrew his permission. Poor Newt! Poor Republicans! It's just so embarrassing. "Eye of the Tiger" isn't remotely cool, and even the man who wrote it couldn't bear to be associated with you. Is it your fault you have hair like a silver helmet? No! It is your barber's fault. But you probably couldn't get a haircut at the cool barber's, because he was worried you'd destroy his street cred too.
There are myriad examples of this over the years. If I were a right-wing American, I would have particularly spit blood in the heyday of the West Wing, a sentimentalised version of life in the White House that made it very hard to believe progressives could ever do anything for ignoble reasons, or conservatives for honourable ones. It's one of those ingrained political rules now, as solid and immutable as the one that says that anyone who warns that they will leave the country if party X gets into power is probably someone we'd all rather get rid of anyway. (Step forward, Phil Collins!)
Sooner or later, there aren't going to be any songs left that furious rockers haven't denied the right of access to, and Conservatives will be forced to step on stage to synth panpipe re-imaginings of U2's "Beautiful Day" – or, worse, a live rendition of something by Genesis. In the meantime, I suppose, they will just have to console themselves with the fact these musicians are only worth a couple of million. The billionaires might not be all that hip. But we all know whose side they're on. Losing a culture war is an embarrassment; winning a financial war, on the other hand, is a considerably more effective way of tightening your grip on the levers of power.

Submitted to: Plant Propagators Society Proceedings
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 10/16/1996
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The current status of commercial micropropagation in the U.S. was determined by contacting laboratories in March and April, 1996. Commercial micropropagation laboratories are located in at least 26 states with most situated near important production areas of the horticultural industries that they service. Florida leads in plants produced, followed by California, Washington and Oregon. California and Florida each have more than 15 laboratories; all other states have fewer than 10 each. Production of individual laboratories varies from a few thousand to tens of millions of plants per year. Small laboratories (<500,000 units per year) account for about 60% of the slightly more than 110 laboratories identified; 24 of these small labs produce only 50,000 units per year or fewer. About 30% are medium size laboratories (0.5-2.5 million units per year); large laboratories (2.5-6.0 million units) and very large laboratories (>6,000,000 per year) account for the remaining 10%. Total production of micropropagated plants is now more than 120 million plants per year. Foliage plants, the largest category, have ferns and spathiphyllum as the main crops. Orchids are the leading greenhouse flower crop. Herbaceous perennials are a rapidly increasing segment of the production with hosta and daylilies leading crops. Ericaceous plants account for more than 23% and shade and ornamental trees are another 22% of the trees and shrubs now micropropagated. Potatoes are about 90% of the micropropagated vegetable crops whereas fruit crops are primarily blueberry and raspberry.

There it is. The alarm. You climb out of bed, throw on your clothes and grab your Writers ADVANCE! Boot Camp Manual, only to learn…rats. It's Monday. Work. The real world.
The smile turns to a droop and reality sets in. The conference is over. Now what?
Let's recap our weekend. There were tons of classes, appointments and critiques. Keynotes were better than amazing and the marching orders were given out. Not only that but you were charged…charged to uphold God's TRUTH in a dying world. Do not let the world dictate your writing. Stand firm in the word and be the Lamp that brightens the path. Lift your writing up, do not shove it down. ADVANCE.
Now that you are home it will be easy to be tempted to put away the pen. Life will attack. Excuses will rise up. But don't bend. Don't retreat. Remember it's during those times you will write your best. Make the time.
Remember Johnny Appleseed. He stepped out in faith with nothing more than a pot for a hat, a bag of seed and his Bible. Johnny walked through all types of weather, all sorts of countryside. And everywhere he walked he flung his apple seed. He didn't wait to see it sprout or to see how much fruit came out of the seed. He simply planted. Don't wait around for the rewards. You may never see the fruit. It may be you'll not see that fruit until heaven. But write. Write. Write. God will bless your efforts in His time.
Below is a video link by Greater Vision. This video is a song about seeing "the fruit." Listen to it. Pay close attention. Then go to work spreading seeds of words.

It's the public-sector jobs where we've lost huge numbers." In fact, since the Recovery Act took effect, the private sector has gained 1.4 million jobs, while the public sector has lost 572,000.
Fox Hosts Claim Reid's Statement Was Inaccurate
Bolling: "Public Sector Jobs Have Increased By Almost 160,000 Since President Obama Took Office." From Fox Business' Follow the Money:
BOLLING: All right, very quickly, Z99, guys. This is Harry Reid responding to Senator McConnell's blame-game accusation.
REID [video clip]: The massive layoffs we've had in America today have, of course -- are rooted in the last administration, and it's very clear that private-sector jobs have been doing just fine. It's the public-sector jobs where we've lost huge numbers.
BOLLING: First of all, can I just point something out? Public-sector jobs have increased by almost 160,000 since President Obama took office. What is he talking about?
STEPHEN HAYES (Fox News contributor): Yeah, you're going to hear that clip again and again and again. [Fox Business, Follow the Money, 10/19/11]
Van Susteren: If Reid "Truly Thinks" What He Said, "I'm Thinking To Myself, Where Has He Been?" From Fox News' On the Record with Greta van Susteren:
VAN SUSTEREN: Good evening, Dennis, and this certainly has set off a bit of a firestorm, this statement. The private sector doesn't seem to be doing particularly well as far as I've seen.
DENNIS KNEALE (Fox Business senior correspondent): Well, he said private sector jobs have been doing just fine, and I'm sure that as soon as that frog jumped out of his mouth he wished he could have grabbed it and brought it back in there because it is --
VAN SUSTEREN: I don't think so, though, because he hasn't done -- he hasn't asked for a do-over. It's like, you know, I'm surprised at this one.
KNEALE: He's standing by it, but you know, he's factually incorrect. Here's a couple numbers for you. We are still down 1.6 million jobs since Obama took office, and government at all levels down 607,000 jobs. Now -- but worse than that, never mind the facts, what bothers me, Greta, is that it's so upside down.
VAN SUSTEREN: Well, I think there's another element to it though besides the economic element to it. You know, there's been so many allegations of class warfare, pitting the rich against the poor, that's been the allegation of the Republicans that that's what the Democrats are trying to do. And now in this sort of bizarre sense is that it creates sort of a, you know -- the private sector looking for jobs and the public sector looking for jobs, it just creates more - now they're going to be at each other's throats.
VAN SUSTEREN: There's also another serious problem. This is the leader of the Senate. And if he truly thinks -- I'm looking at this quote again -- that private-sector jobs have been doing just fine, I'm thinking to myself, where in the world has he been? We have a 9.1 percent unemployment, many of which are private-sector people looking for jobs, but to say anybody is doing fine in this economy -- [Fox News, On the Record with Greta van Susteren, 10/19/11]
Reid Is Right: Since Stimulus, Private Sector Has Gained 1.4 M Jobs, Public Sector Has Lost 572,000
PoliticalCorrection.org: Since Recovery Act Was Implemented, "The Private Sector Has Seen A Net Gain Of 1.4 million Jobs" While "Budget Cuts Have Eliminated 572,000 Government Workers On Net." From an October 7 post by PoliticalCorrection.org, Media Matters' partner organization:
The chart below, updated with today's report, illustrates the steady contraction of the public sector and the expansion of the private economy since the Recovery Act actually began to reach the economy in early summer 2009. Since that time, the private sector has seen a net gain of 1.4 million jobs; if public-sector employment had just held steady, without any hiring or firing, the economy would have grown by about 2 million jobs over this period. Instead, budget cuts have eliminated 572,000 government workers on net.

1957 Econolite Motion Lamp Cars Model T & Stutz
It's amazing that any of these fragile, vintage motion lamps survived. While this one has a few condition issues, it has the original spinner and works great. On one side is a 1914 Stutz Bearcat, and on the other side is a 1912 Ford Model T. When turned on, the heat from the light bulb makes the spinner inside turn, giving the effect that the cars are moving down the road with trees and other landscape behind them. I've included a lot of photos to best describe condition.The spinner is perfect. The base is fine, except minor wear to the gold finish. The shade has no cracks on the sides, but plastic rim around the top does. The surface of the shade has 3 scuffed areas. Most noticeable is on the driver's headlight on the Model T. There is a dent across the center of the Stutz. As you can see in the photos, it hasn't caused any cracking, and is not seen when the light is turned on, unless you look closely for it. Gee....this sounds a lot worse than it looks in person, so please check out the photos. I've taken these flaws into consideration when pricing this classic, and hard to find mid century lamp.

hairspray - tame those unruly flyaways
Bridal Emergency Kit
Friday, July 9, 2010
Imagine the button of one of the straps on your wedding dress coming loose and not having anything to fix it! That's exactly what happened to me. After taking photos with the bridal party, I noticed one of my straps kept falling. There wasn't a mini sewing kit around, but luckily, one of my bridesmaids was able to conjure up a safety pin and turn the straps into a halter. It was actually a much more flatering look. Thank God for creative and resourceful friends!
You never know what might be needed the day of, so preparing a handy emergency kit for the bride and bridal party might not be a bad idea.
Here's a list I put together of a few essential items that can definitely come to the rescue. Is there anything else that you'd like to add?
oil blotting papers - reduce excess facial shine
hairspray - tame those unruly flyaways
comb & bobby pins - keep the 'do together
deodarant - keep it fresh
mints - keep your breath smelling like a candy cane
perfume or body spray - keep you smellin like a lady
hand sanitizer - kill those nasty germs incase you can't wash your hands
compact mirror - always a good idea to be close-up ready
bottled water - keep yourself hydrated
straws - don't mess your lips up
healthy snack - for energy
lipgloss - touch up your pucker
flip flops - do your feet a favor
band aids - a must for blisters or cuts
tissue - gotta have something to soak up your tears of joy
cotton swabs - great for fixing eye make up smears
tylenol - incase you need to get rid of a headache
antiacids - don't let gas or heartburn ruin your day
super glue - incase you need to glue a thinestone back on
safety pins - because you never know what might need a fixin!

I have some pretty firm ideas about tape.
First...like has been stated, the blue paper like tape at the Depot is for house painting, and I really warn you against using it on auto paint.
They make a blue "Fine Line" for auto work, as well as the green stuff, which is THE ONLY THING I WILL USE when it touches the paint. The tan 3M stuff is also my tape of choice, and I have learned over the years it is just NOT worth the risk to try and save a few pennies.
Just like ittook me years to finally figure out that using news paper as masking was hurting me more than helping because of the lint and various little holes. Now I buy good quality rolled masking paper, and I sprung for a taping machine that puts the tape on the paper as I pull it out. I thought it was a silly luxury, but it has saved me so many hours over the years.
ALWAYS check the date on the tape you buy!
Age and heat are the enemies of masking tape.
That is why I buy from the jobber. They seem to sell a lot of tape and the stock gets rotated, and does not go stale.
If I get an old batch I will return it to them.
My jobber will also call me when he has some old stock, and gives me a reduced price, but I only use it on non critical stuff.
There may be better stuff out there than 3M but I just got tired of experimenting and looking for it.
Good luck to ya!

text: No, this stat is reality. This is what Darko has actually done. Actual performance. On a per minute basis, he has been blocking shots at a rate 6 times higher than Pachulia. He has actually matched Pachulia in blocks for the season despite playing way less. Anyone who wants to think of 48 minute stats as projections is simply not understanding what 48 minute stats are good for. No way are they for projecting what a player would do in a 48 minute game. 48 minute stats, or per minute stats, or per 40 minute stats, all do the same thing. They quickly tell you what the actual performance on something has been between two players with disimilar minutes. Nothing more. Yes, there is more to basketball than blocks. But a player shutting down the lane like Darko does with his exceptional shot blocking ability is nothing to quickly dismiss either.

Pop Quiz: If your company has conquered North America and Western Europe and is now looking for the next big market, where should you go? The no-thinking, because it's obvious, answer is of course China. But if you want low cost of entry and a rapid return on investment you might want to aim a bit further South - to Australia.
While it isn't as big a market as China (or even India) and may have a higher cost of living, which can make establishing a beachhead there expensive, Australia has significant enough similarities to the western world — a well-educated populace, a high income citizenship and desire for new technologies and innovations — to make success here far easier. And if you are doing ROI calculations around this decision, it has a key advantage over its Asian peers: higher acceptance of cloud services.
How does greater cloud-readiness translate into higher ROI? Because your company can leverage cloud-based services to reach and serve Australian customers faster, cheaper, and with a better economic model that maximizes the profitability of crossing shores. And in our latest Forrester report, we show you how Australian companies are using the cloud and achieving success through this activity.

It's hard to believe almost a year has passed since our last Summits for CIOs in Asia Pacific. Our team is ramping up preparations to this year's CIO Summit series and I'm looking forward to meet you at the events which will kick off in Sydney on August 14, Singapore on August 19 and Mumbai on August 21. Themed "Beyond IT: Empower Digital Business in the Age of the Customer", Forrester's 2014 Summits will focus on the significant shift we've seen in CIO's traditional focus from the design and deployment of internal systems focused on process control to digital products and services for their customers.
Of particular importance on the digital journey are three domains: customer experience, the mobile mind shift and the transformation of big data into actionable business insights. Each of these topics will feature prominently at the Summits with select analysts flown in to delve deeper into how CIOs can overcome some of these challenges through Forrester guidance.

For an overview of the planning, download (PDF) the summary here.
Members of the University of Northern Colorado Board of Trustees continued discussion of next year's proposed budget during the finance and audit committee meeting Wednesday, May 15.
No action was taken.
As mentioned in a previous report, the proposal calls for a 5 percent average tuition increase ($284/year) for resident undergraduate students and up to a 4-percent tuition increase for resident graduate students. UNC's resident undergraduate tuition is currently the lowest among the state's research universities. For more details on pricing, visit www.unco.edu/news/?5027.
Provost Robbyn Wacker addressed multiyear planning that takes a systems-based and entrepreneurial approach in informing the budget. The strategic framework for transformative education — defined as the intersection among academics, research, scholarship and creative works, and community building (see diagram) — sets the foundation for the nine interconnected core plans and five support plans in carrying out annual implementation.
For example, one component in the academic portfolio is academic quality and addresses supporting faculty and instruction. One way of doing that in the budget calls for piloting the delivery of classes in new ways (such as the concept of flipped classrooms, where "homework" takes place in the classroom and lectures are available online).
Another example is the Community and Civic Engagement Plan with investments planned for student experiences, such as standardizing internships and other co-curricular opportunities, such as conducting research, that connect with the community.
Such planning provides the structure for the multiyear budget process to intentionally invest in academic quality, student support, programs and employees.
Trustees are expected to consider the proposed budget as an action item at their next scheduled board meeting June 7.

Pyrazinamide kills or stops growth of bacteria that causes tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis). The exact mechanism of action for pyrazinamide is not known
Q. How does pyrazinamide cause hyperuricemia and gout?
Following oral intake of pyrazinamide, it gets converted in the body to pyrazinoic acid (active chemical form of pyrazinamide). Pyrazinoic acid blocks the excretion of urates (salt form of uric acid) by the kidneys. This causes an increase in blood levels of uric acid (hyperuricemia). Excess uric acid accumulation between joints causes pain, swelling, redness and stiffness in joints (gout).

THE head of DBS, Singapore's biggest bank by assets and also the largest in Southeast Asia, has declared that China's economic slowdown has bottomed and "the worst is behind us".
The comments are among the first made by any bank in Asia on China's growth prospects since economic releases have begun to show signs of a rebound. Last week, an official indicator of the state of factory orders on the mainland showed that the manufacturing sector has begun to grow again.
"In the last few weeks we've started to see a pickup in demand and we are continuing to project and see stable margins," said Piyush Gupta, DBS chief executive, as the bank unveiled earnings last week. "I'm fairly optimistic that the worst in China is behind us so from here on we should be able to hold the business and grow from this base."
The three Singapore banks are collectively significant players in China, where wealth management is one of the fastest growing businesses. UOB this year opened a seventh "wealth management centre" in China, up from one in 2010.
DBS derives about 30% of group net income from what it calls "greater China", encompassing mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan — three markets in which it has a total of more than 110 branches. In a video interview with the Financial Times, Piyush said that while China had "probably a trillion dollars of non-performing assets" in its banking system, the country had "the wherewithal and capacity to be able to deal with that".
"In China, you've got two advantages. One, the banking system itself is quite profitable. Second, the country as a whole has resources and therefore I believe the capacity to absorb [non-performing loans] is real.
"The mechanics might be a little bit different from the ones we're used to seeing in the West. But I think they will do what most countries do in these situations. They will just roll the can down [the road] and then slowly eat it up in their system," Piyush says.
Investor attention recently was more focused on Singapore's banks as they balance the increased risks associated with regional expansion with maintaining strong credit ratings.
Their debt capital markets businesses have also benefited from a surge in Singapore-dollar bond issuance from banks and companies taking advantage of a gradually strengthening Singapore dollar, the currency's triple A rating and high yield.
Moody's, the rating agency, said last week that even after the impact of new capital requirements under Basel III rules, Singaporean banks would "continue to maintain a capital 'premium' over global banks".
That was due to regulation by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, which is requiring the banks to maintain higher capital cushions sooner than the Basel committee's suggested timetable, it said.

First Look: 'Paddington' Comes to Life Overseas in Live-Action Film
by Ethan Anderton
June 10, 2014
The childhood favorite bear Paddington is hitting theaters in the United Kingdom this fall, but it arrives not too long afterwards here in the United Sates in December. We've already seen a teaser trailer, but it didn't give us a full look at the raincoat donning bear. Now a couple first look photos have surface showing the bear in front of Buckingham Palace and also getting into some mischief on top of a refrigerator in the kitchen. Still photos of visual effects never look all that great, but there's something about the bear's face that doesn't quite work, and it seems to be the eyes lacking life. Hopefully he looks better in action. Look!
Here's two new photos from David Heyman's Paddington from Flicks and Bits:
Paddington is written directed by Paul King, produced by David Heyman (Harry Potter franchise) and based on the children's book character created by Michael Bond in 1958. The story follows the comic misadventures of a young Peruvian bear with a passion for all things British who travels to London in search of a home. Finding himself lost and alone at Paddington Station, he begins to realize that city life is not all he had imagined - until he meets the kindly Brown family who offer him a temporary haven. Colin Firth voices Paddington while Hugh Bonneville, Nicole Kidman, Sally Hawkins, Jim Broadbent and Julie Walters also star in the film which The Weinstein Company will release on December 12th in the United States.

If you read into the SPEED World Challenge you'd know that 1) the cars are at unequal levels of tuning to make it fair and 2) when mazda proteges beat BMWs and tuned RSXs around the track, you know something is up. My statement was given equal amounts of tuning (which you won't ever find in sactioned events since they must be unequal to keep the field fair, which is a good idea ).Originally posted by RSXSucks
Here is a series that allows FWD vs RWD vs AWD: http://www.speedvisionwc.com/2003/standings.html
First place in the touring class is the FWD RSX.
Top ten has 4 FWD cars, 5 RWD cars, and 1 AWD car (4th place). Hmm, there used to be 3 other AWD entries (another Audi and a couple Imprezas) in the bottom third of the rankings but I don't see them on there anymore. I wonder why they dropped out?
AWD fares better in the GT class but I still see a lot of RWD cars in the top 10.
Just goes to show that RWD cars can still compete in the shadow of AWD's complete superiority. Even FWD can compete until the power reaches a certain limit. I'm not THAT much of a Honda fanboy to claim that FWD is a good performance platform.

Tiger Should Still Pass Nicklaus For Most Majors
Tiger Woods tries to win his 5th Masters and 15th major tournament when he plays at this year's Masters. Jack Nicklaus is the all-time leader with 18 major tournament wins including 6 Masters titles. Tiger is 35 years old and has won 14 major titles. Tiger has struggled the last 2 years and it's hard to feel bad for him because most of this was brought on by questionable choices off the course. His swing has been a mess but his is improving and he's still rated as the 7th best golfer in the world. He may not win this year's Masters but he'll win at least 4 more majors before he's done. Keep in mind that Jack Nicklaus won his last Masters when he was 46.
