Riverhead Hardcover
288 pages
Product Description

From the New York Times-bestselling author of The Ten-Year Nap, a funny, provocative, revealing novel about female desire.

 When the elliptical new drama teacher at Stellar Plains High School chooses for the school play Lysistrata-the comedy by Aristophanes in which women stop having sex with men in order to end a war-a strange spell seems to be cast over the school. Or, at least, over the women. One by one throughout the high school community, perfectly healthy, normal women and teenage girls turn away from their husbands and boyfriends in the bedroom, for reasons they don't really understand. As the women worry over their loss of passion, and the men become by turns unhappy, offended, and above all, confused, both sides are forced to look at their shared history, and at their sexual selves in a new light.

 As she did to such acclaim with the New York Times bestseller The Ten-Year Nap, Wolitzer tackles an issue that has deep ramifications for women's lives, in a way that makes it funny, riveting, and totally fresh-allowing us to see our own lives through her insightful lens.

Read an essay about writing The Uncoupling from the author, Meg Wolitzer.

The idea of the Air-Dock boat lift was conceived over a decade ago. Since its introduction in 1999, thousands have been sold and are currently in use in countries all around the world.
The idea was conceived and initially tested near Indianapolis, Indiana on one of this countries' filthiest and most polluted reservoirs. In fact, you could expect a bathtub ring on your hull after mooring for about an hour. With the absence of boat lifts at the local marina, a floating raft, such as an inflatable boat, under the boat and capable of carrying the weight and hoisting the boat just a few inches above the water was envisioned. The belief was that if it could work there and keep the boat hull clean, it could work anywhere.
Simple studies with models and engineering calculations proved that most pleasure boats could easily be raised with very low air pressures, in fact, the kind of pressure supplied by a simple household vacuum cleaner. Further testing determined that these vacuum cleaner blowers could be operated with power from the boat's own battery converted to standard 110 volt AC with a battery inverter without noticeable drain on the battery.
After extensive research, a material was selected that exceeded the strength, longevity, and durability requirements to raise boats and keep their hulls clean. The Air-Dock material is very tough, long lasting, and resistant to most chemicals, UV rays, and other environmental factors.
The Air-Dock concept defies misconceptions that a boat hoisting device must be large, expensive, cumbersome, and unsightly. Air-Dock boat lifts are built by hand with great pride in the United States. We take quality measures to insure that you have a reliable product. Every single air chamber is tested at pressures higher than normal operating pressures to ensure a high quality product
In late 2004, Air-Dock relocated to Saint Petersburg, Florida. Today, there are thousands of Air-Dock boat lifts in use around the world protecting personal water crafts, jet skis, V-hulls, tri-hulls, deck boats, catamarans, pontoons, tritoons, retractable keel sailboats, trimarans, high performance boats, deck boats, and even seaplanes. These lifts are operated in deep water, shallow water, fresh water, brackish, and salt water. Air-Dock boat lifts are used at private docks and commercial and municipal marinas, as well as at condominiums. In fact, their unobtrusive appearance has led to our boat lifts being approved at many condominiums that don't allow other lifts.
We appreciate you considering an Air-Dock boat lift for your application. If all of your questions are not answered by this web site just give us a call and we will be happy to answer them. We appreciate your feedback regarding this website as well.

START TIME: Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback will instruct drivers to start their engines at 2:08 p.m. Eastern time today (1:08 local), followed by the green flag at 2:16 p.m. So if you want to skip the pre-race show and just tune in for the race, turn on your TV at 2:16.

WEATHER: Brr! After the Kansas weekend opened with temperatures in the mid-80s, the high today is expected to reach the low 60s. If you're coming to the race, bring some layers.
CHANGES? Tires, weather could lead to Chase shakeup at Kansas
LAST TIME: Matt Kenseth and Matt Kenseth. The current points leader won both the April race and last October's Chase race here. He's also won four of the seven races this year on 1.5-mile tracks.
STARTING LINEUP: Kevin Harvick won the pole position for today's race -- surprisingly his first pole in more than seven years (September 2006 at New Hampshire). It also was the first pole for Richard Childress Racing since September 2007.

A truely high performance laptop?
I'm looking for a truely high performance laptop without the alienware pricetag (just found out alienware are relabelled, never knew that!), anyway!
I'm looking for a
p4 3.0ghz
512mb ram
100gb hdd
256mb gfx
4 speakers with a subwoofer
wireless lan G
dvd-rw drive
windows xp home/pro either will do!
I'm also located in the UK and not wanting to spend over £1100, if you know of anywhere let me know!
hp ZD
Have the zd7000 last years model,
Draw backs
Large i do mean large
very big monitor
Forget about using in coach, Exit rows are OK
I'm seriously considering dell, at the mo they have a good offer on their Inspiron 9300's here in the uk, well offer or not I can get a pretty nice one for £1079.

Inspirons are shoddy. It'll fall apart on you.
the nice things of the ZD is the real keyboard and num pad.
It truly is the only desktop replacement but it sacrifices mobility
Xenon101 wrote:just found out alienware are relabelled, never knew that!
I suspected that. Know who they're rebranding?
I do hope you dont plan on having kids... does "hotdog" mean anything?
And i thought Pentium-M's had more bang for buck both speed and temperature wise. (I outperform a 3.06gHz P4 with my 2.0gHz Pentium-M) but thats down to the insane cache (2MB) i think...i dont really understand procs all that well.
Alienware relabel uiwell or something now but used to relabel clevo?
- Dual 1.2 GHz UltraSPARC® IIIi processors
- Up to 16GB DRAM
- Large 17.1" SXGA TFT LCD Display
- Full Length, 66 MHz, 64 -bit PCI Expansion Slot
- Dual 2.5" High Performance Disk Drives
- Integrated DVD/CD-RW Drive
Believe-you-me, this system is well outside the "alienware pricetag"

No it won't.
And whatever you get, make sure it has Pentium M in it.
I have a Dell 9300 and would total recomend it to anyone. I game on it and it runs better than any desktop I have had.
Cairo wrote:Inspirons are shoddy. It'll fall apart on you.
I beg to differ. I have an Inspiron 6000 with Intel Centrino 1.60 GHz (but that's definitely false advertisement, it goes way faster than that) 60GB hard drive DVD burner 512MB ram, Wireless something bluetooth and it isn't too heavy. Not to mention I've had it for a while and had not a single problem with it (knowing of course, that I regularly run the disk defragmenter, antivirus, antispyware and have a firewall installed) I haven't needed to reinstall Windows in the 6 months or so that I've had it, and not a single dead pixel
The only really bad thing with laptops is that you can't overclock them, or at least, I haven't met a laptop that has been overclockable...
I'd be trying to get an x64 laptop from AMD if I was in the market for a new laptop,
I agree with Loadsgood, I have an Inspiron 6000 PM 1.86Ghz, 1GB DDR2, 128DDR ATI X300 PCIx16, 80GB, 802.11x, dvd burner and all that shabang. I think its' the best laptop I've ever had. This is far from shoddy! It's very durable, it doesn't feel like it's gonna fall apart... unlike other laptops I've had. My brother owned a HP, which completly fell apart... the whole thing was just filled with problems. Also the battery life is kick-(I need to watch my language), I can get a good 6.5 hours on my 9 cell (some tweaking of course)This Inspiron is the best laptop I've had. Though my IBM was nice too, just expensive.
Well that's the better line compared to the Inspiron 1000 series. I had a friend with the 1000 and it was horrible, kept bogging down!
Though for the price, which I would say is its best attraction for the public's eye. It gives students who are transitioning from high school to university life more economical. In addition makes it easier for consumers to get their hands on a laptop, which overall is good in today's market (increasing wireless access points, more coffee shops:|, etc). Also Dell is backend by their award winning support.
Ok, now I sound like I work for Dell
I think at the moment you can't go far wrong with Dell - unless you get unlucky with a rogue machine. Their support may be 'award winning' but you can win awards for being terrible! Sales support is appalling and you can be there a month or two after your promised delivery date trying to cancel and getting nowhere.
Their early Inspirons were very poorly built and with "next day on site support" that support is contracted out and the quality is really variable. It frequently turns out to be "next day plus one or two" if you live in central London. I bought a Dell server with three IBM 10,000 RPM drives in and one went down within 3 months of purchase. The "replacement" was not an IBM drive and had a much lower rotation speed - luckily I was on the ball and refused to accept it and the guy who'd tried to sneak it in as a replacement had to uninstall it but the way he acted you'd have thought I was the one in the wrong for refusing to accept it as a valid replacement.
IBM have a good reputation for laptops but they don't have a Windows key and I'm so used to the shortcuts I find that a real negative.
Toshiba are very good but expensive for what you get and they've lost their edge in terms of not offering hi-resolution screens (essential if you use Visual Studio, in my view). You tended to get very little (like NO) free software even though their prices were so high - this may have changed.
My last laptop was a Sony Vaio. Big mistake. The keys were worn down less than a year after purchase (I have a mainly blank keyboard) and they refuse to honour the extended 3 year warranty saying this is "normal" wear and tear. When the TFT screen died 13 months after purchase I invoked the warranty but they insist on leaving you on a premium rate number on hold to get a returns number. Then they tell you to fax the warranty that they sold you online and proof of purchase to another premium rate number and call them a few days after you've done so (on another premium rate number) in another long hold queue just to get permission to return it. I won't buy another Sony again.
If I were buying now I'd be torn between a Dell and an Acer Ferrari.
I had/have a Vaio myself. The only complaint I had was that the battery ran dry after a year which was rather disappointing. Apart from that it was great. You don't really get value for mony with them though as they are all about style. I'm very happy with my current Vaio though, the X-black screen makes it a joy to use. There's very few powerful thin and light laptops so i went with sony again. I don't want to be carrying around a monster. The resolution is kinda low (1280x800) but it's only a 13" widescreen so it's adaquate. Bring on the vector based UIs.
Get an Alienware.
And Alienware seems to be rebranding these:
Even for their older models, they redirected me to powernotebooks for replacement parts etc.
I've a Vaio, the X-Black screen in amazing, it's a joy to use during sunny weather. If you plan on using it in a bright environment, i'd seriously look into them. Has saved my eyesight!

Applications for mobile advertising began to flare in the middle of 2012. With Android and Apple app stores which boast hundreds of thousands of different applications, it is clear that the mobile culture will continue to grow by leaps and bounds. Recent surveys show that over 60% of mobile phones sold today are smartphones. These same surveys also say that people today are getting their phone with them, with over 50% of them in bed with them.
These statistics show that mobile applications should be part of every company to be advertised. Although they cannot simply be any application. Looking at these tendencies, and continue to use the kind of people apps, we can determine what type of application you should be building, which also match your advertising message and products. Here is a brief list of some trends observed in the rest of 2012 and in 2013.
1. Money Transfer Applications One of the requirements of the most desirable smartphone users is the ability to use their bank account and transfer money from your account to interact with ease. This also applies to the online payment sites such as PayPal. These applications give users control over their money even when it is not on a computer or in a physical place bound.
2. Location Based Apps another big trends that have gained momentum in 2012 are applications that include location-based services. With over 500 million consumers, location-based services allow within their applications at present, there is certainly continue to increase, as others note how their phones can interact with them on the spot. Special coupons, prices and information are all a part of Location Based Services.
3. Mobile search functionality There are always times when someone trying to figure out an answer to a problem needs, but is not a reliable source of information around. Mobile search is exponential, as more consumers switch to smartphones than regular phones cultivated. And, this trend will certainly continue its upward cycle. Websites ready for mobile will benefit most from this type of availability.
4. Navigation Mobile tablet computer one of the fastest growing trends of the year was the amount of navigation that has been done with an iPad or other type of tablet computer. In truth, the iPad accounted for nearly 3% of respondents who surfed the Internet in recent years. Again, as already mentioned, sites optimized for mobile devices are able to be in front of those who do not overvoltage.
5. Mobile Advertising Opportunities in 2008, the amount of money spent on mobile marketing and advertising through advertisements and applications, was $ 530 million. In 2012 that number has jumped dramatically to grow to over $ 7 billion, with a lot of space. There are various options for mobile marketing through PPC, banner ads in various applications and in other areas for advertising.
6. Mobile Music and Sharing One of the most rapid growth in 2012 is Spotify. This service provides both a web-based platform and a mobile application that allows users to listen to music based on their favorite artists and the like. These can be shared through various social media channels. In addition, users can purchase their favorite songs from various music services such as iTunes.
Mobile marketing and advertising trends are a way for companies to see what is happening in today's culture and build related applications for future products and services. It 'important to stay abreast of trends, or at least in their applications that people want to download and use offer consistent.

2016 RHINO Poetry Journal cover and illustrations by Michael Miner.
2015 RHINO Poetry Journal cover and illustrations by Keith J. Taylor.
"Fine art and funny business. I like to think that my work is the synthesis of the two key elements of my creative life – I love to draw and to make people laugh."
2014 RHINO Poetry Journal cover and illustrations by Kevin Veara.
"Nature is what I am interested in and where my concern is in regards to my paintings. I work my ideas out on paper before transferring them to boards. Using a limited color pallet of acrylics I feel it allows me more freedom in other areas of my work. I sometimes incorporate the bird's call into the piece at the very end if I think it will work. . . ..I wanted to give the rhino a voice showing it as a living entity as I do with my birds. After sketching out many ideas I committed to a few and transferred the rhinos to small boards. I then used the same pallet that I was currently working with at the time with my work." RHINO's Interview with Kevin Veara.
2013 RHINO Poetry Journal cover and illustrations by Steve Musgrave.
"I have been working as an illustrator in Chicago since 1979, and I work in a variety of media from digital to traditional. When I did the initial sketches for the 2013 Rhino cover, I was thinking of the simple calligraphic shapes of Japanese brush painting, or the powerfully stylized animals of primitive cave paintings. I wasn't sure how I would finish the piece, but I was thinking of a simple earth-tone palette. Then Ralph mentioned that the sketches reminded him of Franz Marc, whose paintings of animals inspired me to paint a simply modeled cobalt blue rhino. I placed him on a neutral earth-tone background to retain some of the original idea of this as a sort of cave painting."
2012 RHINO Poetry Journal cover and illustrations by Nancy Robinson.
"I call the current paintings I'm working on "psychological portraits". Each of my paintings tells the story of my daily life. Rather than illustrate my stories in confessional detail, with people and situations which are recognizable snapshots from my existence, I transform my personal experiences into archetypal stories and images which are universal and can be shared by all."
2011 RHINO Poetry Journal cover and illustrations by Doug Stapleton.
"In my collages, I cut and re-configure found images to set up ambiguous narratives that often refer to the original source, but mess around with the message. Visually I respond to the operatic shimmer, sparkle and complexity—the grandly narrated spectacle—that is the history of western art. I want to continue that high key drama in my work."
2010 RHINO Poetry Journal cover and illustrations by David Lee Csicsko.
"A proud son of the Midwest, of Indiana, of the South Shore of Lake Michigan, of laboring people, Chicago artist David Csicsko is the most democratic of artists. It should come as no surprise that he was influenced as a boy by the art of an area church that showed, with reverence and celebration, the art of labor. From his family came an enviable work ethic and a refusal to judge people by surfaces or to accept prejudices instead of being guided by basic decency. This openness, this naturalness, has meant that people often viewed by others as outsiders – children, Black people, gay people, people of faith – have come to David to tell their stories. And he tells them both honestly and beautifully in his work." ~From WFMT's Andrew Patner
2009 RHINO Poetry Journal cover and illustrations by Tom Bachtell.
Tom Bachtell's distinctive drawings and caricatures appear each week in "The Talk of the Town" and other sections of The New Yorker where he has been a regular contributor for some 20 years. Tom's work is seen in many other national and international publications, from Entertainment Weekly to Newsweek, Forbes to Bon Appetit, Town and Country to Mother Jones, as well as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, New York magazine, The New York Observer, London's Evening Standard, and Poetry magazine. His ad campaigns range from the late Marshall Field's department store to Lands' End mail order to the chamber music series at The University of Chicago.
RHINO Poetry is grateful to the talented illustrators who have donated their time and work to us.

Using a personal computer is more fun when you are able to play videos, watch dvd videos, play mp3 files and more other than just surfing or playing games, well i actually don't even know if i have a game of my laptop computer lol.
Windows media player is the default media player program installed on windows XP and other versions of microsoft windows, although the program is a nice one but it lacks most features like inability to play some certains files of video and audio extensions like .MP3 files, .flv files .3GP files etc and considering these in mind, you might want to sort out to looking for better alternate media player programs in other to watch those files and here on this page I'd like to share 3 out of all i know.
Best 3 Alternate Media Players To Windows Media Players
1. Free File Viewer: At first, i actually downloaded the program because it was suggested to me by file.org when i wanted to view a PDF file but i later realised that this same program does much more than just viewing PDF files, it also plays audio and video files.
The Only problem am having with this program is the fact that it doesn't have a stop or play function as it wasn't dedicated for media watching functions rather for PDF files reading.
2. VLC Media Player: VLC Media Player is an awesome media Player and i just love it.
This media player plays a lot of media files, ranging from audio files to video files, plays extensions like .mp3, .3GP, .FLV, .AVI etc.
VLC Media Player also support the use of skins i.e you can choose using a skin(interface or design) of your choice or your own.
3. Final Media Player:
Just like the name implies, it plays all files and have an amazing interface which you would sure like, its default boarder interface is in a dark blue colour which is very much attractive and also has a simple to understand buttons but does all these really matter as long as it can play all audio and video files? I actually haven't tried using it in playing audio files but it works perfect for video files.
What other Media Player for PC would you recommend or have you tried out to be better than Windows Media Player?

Clauses and Phrases
Complex sentences are combinations of phrases and clauses. Most writers know this, but they cannot remember how to distinguish the two. We understand — we can't remember much of the time, either. We suggest studying clauses before examining phrases, which can be confusing.
Understanding clauses and phrases helps writers avoid errors such as dangling modifiers, fused sentences, comma splices, and fragments. It is possible to write a long sentence that is a fragment because the primary clause is lost among the clutter of words.
A clause is a part of a sentence that contains its own subject and verb but is not the complete sentence. What can be confusing is that some clauses could stand alone as sentences. When searching for clauses in sentences, look for verbs and their subjects.
Independent Clauses
An independent clauses is also known as a primary, main, and principal clause. An independent clause has a subject and verb, with the ability to stand alone as a sentence.
Charles went to dinner after he changed clothes.
Charles went to dinner.
The independent clause is a short sentence. It is the primary clause because it contains the simple subject and simple predicate of the full sentence.
Compound Sentences
A compound sentence is a sentence formed by two or more independent clauses. Use a comma to separate long independent clauses joined by and, but, or, or nor. Place the comma before the conjunction.
Wendy plans to attend college, but she needs to earn better grades.
Dependent Clauses
A dependent clause, or subordinate clause, adds information to the sentence by acting as an adjective, adverb, or noun. Frequently, a dependent clause is introduced by a subordinate conjunction. Look for either commas or conjunctions to identify dependent clauses.
Martha told us that her book is missing.
The book, which was her favorite, has a blue cover.
In the first example, "that" introduces the dependent clause. If we were to replace "that" with a period, the resulting sentences could stand alone with reduced clarity. Our second sentence features a dependent clause marked by commas. Alone, the clause poses a question. In the appositive form, it adds a description of the book to the sentence.
Adjective Clauses
An adjective clause acts as an adjective, modifying a noun or pronoun. Use an adjective clause when an adjective or two will not suffice. Often, the relative pronouns who, whose, whom, which, and that attach adjective clauses to their antecedents.
The writer who wins the award must deliver an acceptance speech.
Adverb Clauses
An adverb clause (not adverbial) acts as an adverb and indicates the time, manner, or degree of an action. Adverb clauses often begin with subordinate conjunctions.
He bought the house after he saw the roof-top greenhouse.
Noun Clauses
A noun clause is a clause acting as a noun, sometimes as the subject of a sentence. If you can replace the clause with it, you have identified a noun clause.
How he thinks is a mystery to me.
It is a mystery to me.
Essential and Nonessential Clauses
A clause can be essential or nonessential based on the writer's intention and the construction of the sentence. As the names imply, an essential clause is needed to clarify the sentence, while a nonessential clause adds information that might not be required.
Essential Clauses
An essential clause usually follows a noun or pronoun and clarifies the noun's identity. We use an essential clause when there might be a doubt as to who is being mentioned in a sentence.
The boy seldom speaks.
With an essential clause:
The boy who sits in the back seldom speaks.
In the example, we might not know the identity of the boy without additional information. By describing where the boy sits, it is easier to identify the particular person mentioned.
Sometimes an essential clause can be replaced with an adjective. A writer must decide which construction is most effective.
An editor who is talented respects the author's style.
A talented editor respects the author's style.
Nonessential Clauses
A nonessential clause interrupts the flow of a sentence with additional information that is not essential for clarity. Because a reader or speaker pauses at the information, a nonessential clause is set off with commas, like an appositive.
Sometimes it is best to pull a nonessential clause from a sentence and make it a short sentence that follows the original. If a nonessential clause describes an important detail, consider rewriting the sentence.
The boy, who sits in the back, is the only male student.
The boy is the only male student. He sits in the back.
The pair of shorter sentences might be more effective than a long sentence. The status of the boy is stated, then how he seems to relate is described. This pattern is more effective than using a nonessential clause in some situations.
Elliptical Clauses
An elliptical clause is a clause in which certain words are understood without being said or written. As in most languages, English allows for the omission of words when they are obvious by nature of context or grammar.
What will happen if I miss the deadline?
What if I miss the deadline?
She enjoys history more than she enjoys math.
She enjoys history more than math.
A phrase is a group of words that cannot function as a sentence. A phrase acts together, as if the words of the phrase are a single word. Phrases act as nouns, adjectives, and adverbs. There are five basic types of phrases:
- Prepositional
- Verb
- Infinitive
- Gerund
- Participial
Prepositional Phrases
A prepositional phrase begins with a preposition and ends with nouns or pronouns. The noun or pronoun is the object of the preposition. Most prepositional phrases act as adjectives or adverbs.
The student with the best grades is also a great athlete.
We attended a concert at the park.
Read the section on prepositions for more information.
Verb Phrases
Verb phrases include a primary verb and any auxiliaries accompanying the verb. A common error is splitting a verb phrase with an adverb. You should place adverbs before or after the verb phrase.
Infinitive Phrases
Infinitive phrases are verbal phrases that begin with an infinitive. Grammarians include any final adverb as part of the phrase.
He wanted to write.
She expects to be published soon.
Gerund Phrases
A gerund phrase is a group of words containing a gerund, but not acting as the verb phrase within a sentence. In fact, the gerund acts as a noun, possessed by another noun or pronoun.
Your nagging him isn't making the publisher happy.
In the example, nagging him is a gerund phrase, owned by the person being addressed as you in the dialogue. The entire phrase can be replaced with the pronoun it to test whether or not the word group is actually a gerund phrase.
It isn't making the publisher happy.
Participial Phrases
Participial phrases are groups of words beginning with participles. Participial phrases tend to act like adjectives or adverbs, though they can replace nouns. We have read claims that participial phrases only act as adjectives.
An appositive explains or describes the noun or pronoun it follows. Appositives are set apart by commas. Predicate nouns and appositives are similar when reflecting the meaning of the subject in a sentence. Use appositives for concise writing, eliminating predicate noun sentences.
The boysenberry, a blackberry and raspberry hybrid, originated at Knott's Farms in California.
The boysenberry is a hybrid of the blackberry and raspberry. Boysenberries originated at Knott's Farm in California.
In the example, hybrid is a noun describing the boysenberry plant. This relationship is clear in the predicate noun form. Using the appositive, we eliminated the need for boysenberries.
A simple test for appositives is to replace the first comma with is and the second with a period. If the result is a predicate noun or predicate adjective, you have identified an appositive.
The student like Mr. Wallace, the new teacher.
Mr. Wallace is the new teacher.
Some grammarians insist appositives are phrases, not clauses, while others define appositives as all phrases and clauses set off with commas.
A parenthetical comment is an appositive stating the opinion of a speaker, narrator, or author. As the name implies, a parenthetical is sometimes punctuated with parentheses instead of commas.
Jason, liar that he is, never told her he had found the book.
Jason (a liar) never told her he had found the book.
A contrasting expression is an appositive beginning with a negative conjunction, such as but, however, not, or though. The contrast modifies a noun or pronoun.
The bee, though not aerodynamic, flies well.
Coins, however shiny, are merely money.
Appositive Adjectives
Using appositive adjectives emphasizes the description of a noun or pronoun. Appositive adjectives are placed after the noun or pronoun and set off with commas.
Her hair, long and golden, reflected the sunlight.
Use appositive adjectives sparingly, because they intentionally slow a reader.

Société Générale Is Fitter, Not Fixed
Despite Improvements, Several Factors Weigh on SocGen's Valuation
So, France is the new home of fixed-income trading—or so you might think from the results of Société Générale SCGLY -0.26% and BNP Paribas this week.
SocGen reported a healthy 9% jump in second-quarter fixed-income trading revenue on Friday, which followed the eye-popping 22% leap reported by BNP the day before.
And it isn't just France. This week, Deutsche Bank of Germany reported fixed-income trading that was flat and UBS of Switzerland was down marginally—not as good as the French, but better than the results of U.S. banks, where steep revenue declines were the trend this reporting season.
The French might seem to be racing ahead, but a closer look shows that isn't the case. Many global banks have been changing their fixed-income businesses to get away from being the high-inventory, high-capital-consuming monsters of the past. And SocGen is no different.
BNP is an oddity because it said it did well in the old business of rates at a time when that market is proving a desert of activity for most other banks. It also did well in foreign-exchange trading in Asia, where the wealthy love to gamble on currencies. UBS reported poor activity in that region where it has long had good access to the market through its private bank.
A number of analysts were skeptical about the sustainability of BNP's experience, with Jefferies calling its second-quarter increase "suspiciously large."
SocGen, meanwhile, runs a very different business. Much of its fixed-income trading is related to creating and selling structured products to clients—complex investments with payoffs that depend upon the performance of several underlying factors.
These kinds of products allow banks to bake in fees and payoffs for themselves that can make them nicely profitable—however, the bank bears some complex market risks, too, which can come back to bite them.
For SocGen's markets business as a whole, the first half saw a 4.4% decline in revenues, which is much more like the experience of the wider investment-banking world.
Overall, SocGen is doing better than expected so far this year, though a lack of confidence in France and the poor credit demand that goes with it is hampering the French retail bank. It also still has to run the gantlet of a U. S. settlement over breaking financial sanctions—which cost BNP so much time and money—and it is exposed to Russia through Rosbank .
These things are weighing on its valuation—with a price/book value ratio of 0.6 times and one of the lowest forward price/earnings ratios in the sector at 9.1 times.
One quarter's performance won't be enough for the bank to shrug off those weights.

New Hampshire Business Newsreel
February 24. 2014 5:32PM
Air Force extends BAE contract
NASHUA — The U.S. Air Force Space Command has awarded BAE Systems a three-year contract extension to continue maintaining space radars used for missile warning and space surveillance.
The award is a continuation of work that BAE has been performing for the program since 2007, and raises the cumulative value of the contract to approximately $540 million.
The complex network of radars tracks more than 16,000 objects orbiting Earth, including various man-made objects in space, such as active or inactive satellites, rocket parts and other debris.
The system also tracks objects that may enter the atmosphere — information used in air missile defense operations and to protecting against submarine-launched ballistic missiles.
It is capable of conducting about 40,000 space observations daily from locations at Cape Cod Air Force Station in Massachusetts, Beale Air Force Base in California, Clear Air Force Station in Alaska, Thule Air Base in Greenland and the Royal Air Force Fylingdales in the United Kingdom.
Lodging executive index down slightly
DURHAM — A barometer of the state's lodging and tourism industry, maintained by the University of New Hampshire, declined slightly from December to January.
The UNH Lodging Executives Sentiment Index (LESI) for the period ending January 2014 dropped to 76.9 from 80.8 in December 2013.
"There appears to be concern surrounding corporate travel business, with questions on the Asian business climate," said Nelson Barber, associate professor of hospitality management, who manages the index.
Sixty-two percent of lodging executives indicated current business conditions were good, a decrease from 77 percent last period, while 23 percent indicated conditions were normal, up from 15 percent during the previous period. During the current period, 15 percent of executives indicated present conditions were bad, an increase from last period when 8 percent of executives had such concern.
Managed by the Department of Hospitality Management at the UNH Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics, LESI is based on a monthly survey of lodging executives representing companies with more than 2.5 million hotel rooms across lodging segments and geographic regions of the United States — more than 55 percent of all U.S. rooms.
BurstPoint CEO named to council
MERRIMACK — Patrick Clark, president and CEO of BurstPoint Networks in Merrimack, has been named by Gov. Maggie Hassan to serve on the state's Economic Development Advisory Council, with a three-year term that began on Feb. 7.
BurstPoint offers high-definition video conference recording, streaming and content management for enterprise and cloud service providers.
Over the past few decades, Clark has overseen growth for a number of early-stage and startup high-tech ventures. He has taken two companies to successful initial public offerings and four companies to successful merger and acquisition transactions.
The Economic Development Advisory Council is charged with assisting the Division of Economic Development by providing advice on the trends and needs across all sectors of industry and government to aid in the strategic planning efforts of the division.

Prodigious, poetic, and unlike any other "history" of cinema, Mark Cousins's The Story of Film: An Odyssey is, as the title promises, a thrilling journey.

Offered in 15 weekly chapters, with a combined running time of 15 hours, the film is a treasure trove of clips from films both famous and underappreciated, interviews from a global who's-who of filmmakers, and passionate, provocative commentary.
Sunday's chapter covers the "Birth of the Cinema" (from 1900–1920); and "The Hollywood Dream" (the 1920s.) More can be found at www.realartways.com.
Over at Cinestudio, Trinity College's theater, "Ruby Sparks" continues through this evening.
Then Thursday brings a free, one-time showing of "The Cup," a fascinating and amusing look at the Western influences reaching into a Tibetan Buddhist monastery. High in the Himalayas, the young monks (who play themselves in the film) have devoted their lives to an ancient religious tradition and rigorous spiritual discipline. They are also high-spirited teenagers obsessed with soccer.
Friday begins screenings of "Beasts of the Southern Wild." Armed with a 16mm camera and a limited budget, a New Orleans collective of filmmakers took off for a Louisiana bayou to make a movie (with non-professional actors) about a 6-year-old girl named Hushpuppy and her father Wink, living on the economic edge. What they came back with is homegrown magic realism and two astonishing performances – along with the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance and the Cannes Film Festival prize for Best First Film.
Sunday, there's also a matinee feature, National Theatre Live presents THE LAST OF THE HAUSSMANS, a three-generational drama set in a crumbling Art Deco cottage on England's Devon coast. The matriarch, in a show-stopping turn by Julie Walters, has summoned her children and grandchildren as she recovers from cancer. No tea and scone-serving Granny, she is an alternately hilarious and selfish survivor of the 1960s, whose radical journey has brought an angry next generation home to roost.

JERUSALEM – The outgoing Palestinian parliament gave President Mahmoud Abbas sweeping new powers Monday, just days before the rival Islamic militant Hamas group was to take control of the legislature.
In their final session, lawmakers from Abbas' defeated Fatah Party gave the Palestinian leader the authority to appoint a new constitutional court that would serve as the final arbiter in disputes between him and a Hamas government.
A fuming Hamas termed the 11th-hour legislation "illegitimate" and vowed to overturn it. One of its incoming legislators called the legislation "a bloodless coup."
Abbas, who was elected separately last year for a four-year term, is a moderate who seeks to resume peace talks with Israel. The strengthening of his powers and weakening of Hamas comes as Israel tries to diplomatically isolate Hamas unless it renounces violence and recognizes the Jewish state.
The lawmakers also appointed Fatah loyalists to four key jobs, including the head of the government watchdog group in charge of weeding out official corruption. Hamas won last month's parliament elections largely on a promise to end years of nepotism, graft and mismanagement by Fatah.
Hamas would need a two-thirds majority — or 88 of 132 seats in parliament — to change Monday's legislation and it was unclear whether the group would muster such a majority. It will control 74 seats in the new parliament, but can also count on support from several independents.
Hamas' stunning Jan. 25 victory ousted Abbas' long-ruling Fatah Party and touching off Western threats to cut off hundreds of millions of dollars in badly needed aid unless the group abandons its violent ways and recognizes Israel's right to exist.
With the new, Hamas-dominated legislature scheduled to convene for the first time on Saturday, the old legislature struck hard in its last session.
Parliament empowered Abbas to appoint a new, nine-judge constitutional court that would have the authority to resolve any dispute between him and the incoming Hamas-dominated parliament or Cabinet. The court also could veto legislation deemed to violate the Palestinians' Basic Law, a forerunner to the Palestinian constitution.
Legal expert Issam Abdeen said the new legislation would let Abbas "cancel any law approved by the new parliament on the pretext it is unconstitutional."
"The new amendment gives President Mahmoud Abbas power over the laws of the new Palestinian legislature, since he is the one who appoints the judges of the constitutional court," Abdeen said. "He can use (these powers) to nullify laws that are unacceptable to him. If Hamas now approves Islamic laws, he could say it is against the constitution."
Hamas spokesman Said Siyam said parliament had no right to make last-minute changes and the group would overturn the old parliament's decisions.
"The parliament has no mandate and no authority to issue any new legislation," he said, calling Monday's action "illegitimate."
Abdel Aziz Duaik, an incoming Hamas legislator who was observing the session, said the new law "puts complete authority in the hands of the president."
"I think this session was illegal. It is a kind of bloodless coup," Duaik said. "We must go back to the people to see if this session was actually legal."
Lawmakers also appointed four Fatah loyalists to key government positions — head of personnel in the Palestinian Authority, administrative chief of the parliament, head of the government's salaries and pension fund and head of the government controller.
Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev declined to comment on the Palestinian parliament's actions.
Earlier Monday, Germany gave Israel support for its campaign to blacklist Hamas, which has carried out scores of deadly attacks against Israelis in recent years and is listed as a terror organization by the European Union and the United States.
"I wanted to let Israel know that it can count on our solidarity, especially after the Palestinian elections," German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said after meeting acting Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. Steinmeier said his Israeli counterparts were reassured when he "made the conditions for talks (with Hamas) very clear."
Israel has grown increasingly concerned the international front against Hamas is crumbling after Russian President Vladimir Putin invited Hamas leaders to Moscow. Putin has said he will press the Palestinian group to recognize Israel and give up violence. France has supported Moscow's approach.
Hamas has given no indication it would change its ideology.
In an interview with Russia's Nezavisimaya Gazeta newspaper published Monday, Hamas' political chief, Khaled Mashaal, said the group rejected international demands to renounce violence, saying Israel must first pledge to leave all occupied lands.
A Russian diplomat, meanwhile, said Moscow understood Western concerns about Hamas but warned that cutting off international aid to the Palestinians would be "counterproductive."
"In history there are many examples of radicals coming to power and adopting a more realistic and constructive stance," Russia's ambassador to the U.N., Andrei Denisov, was quoted as saying in the Izvestia daily.
"We all hope that Hamas will show sense," he was quoted as saying.
Elsewhere, a 25-year-old Gaza woman was shot and killed Monday, Palestinian hospital officials said. Fatima Abu Musaed's family said Israeli soldiers shot her near the border fence with Gaza, the officials said.
Israeli military officials said soldiers fired warning shots in the air Monday afternoon after two people were spotted near the fence in southern Gaza.

In my last post, I talked about how important it is to draw from life and it's a lot easier to do that if you know how to set up a simple still life. Here are some pointers:
- Use an odd number of objects. (An odd number is more interesting to the eye than an even number.
- If all your objects are the same, like my hazelnuts, pose each of them in a different way to add interest.
- As you arrange your subjects, overlap them a bit. One object that stands alone will usually draw the eye and have more "weight" than it should. The overlap should be solid. If two objects don't overlap but just "kiss" each other instead, the "kiss" point can be very distracting.
- Good lighting is essential! For beginners, it's best to work with one main light source. A bright adjustable light works best. Place the light to the side and slightly above your still life for lighting that creates solid shadows that are easiest to render.
- The objects in your still life can be any size. As a matter of fact, small still lives are easier to set up and can be drawn in relatively shorter amount of time.

"Today's Corbyn interview was more Marr '82" – John Prescott attacks Andrew Marr over Corbyn interview
John Prescott has attacked Andrew Marr over his interview with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn this morning.
The former Deputy Prime Minister branded the interview a "disgrace", saying that Marr asked a series of questions to get answers "he hopes will be in tomorrow's Daily Mail". Prescott cited Marr's questions about whether Corbyn supported Flying Pickets – a tactic where workers travel to support people on strike at another workplace – and what his thoughts were on the Falklands war.
In the wide-ranging interview, Marr asked also asked the Labour leader about his stance regarding Trident. Corbyn, a long-time opponent of nuclear weapons, said that he would accommodate divisions in Labour on the issue. Corbyn said it is possible that the UK could keep Trident without "warheads".
Prescott complimented Corbyn for leading the debate by "putting housing, social justice and equality right at the heart of our politics". He urged "all journalists" to recognise the public wants to hear Labour's current policies, not "hypothetical positions on the issues of yesterday".
Others on social media have also criticised Marr's line of questioning, including the Channel 4 Economics Editor Paul Mason:
Marr asks series of qs about 1970s trade union tactics, then says Corbyn is obsessed with looking back to 1970s
— Paul Mason (@paulmasonnews) January 17, 2016
Marr asked @jeremycorbyn a very strange set of 1970s questions and avoided asking anything about opposition to today's government.
— Chris Bryant MP (@RhonddaBryant) January 17, 2016
Corbyn is accused of taking Labour back in time. But it was Marr who asked him about the Falklands not the Government's record #marrshow

Home > Office of the Secretary-General of ITU > Speeches > Speech by ITU Secretary-General - BYND 2015 Global Youth Summit : Opening Ceremony
Speech by ITU Secretary-General, Dr Hamadoun I. Touré
Madame President,Excellencies,Distinguished delegates,Ladies and gentlemen,It is a tremendous honour to be here with you in Costa Rica for the Opening Ceremony of the BYND 2015 Global Youth Summit.We have been given an incredible welcome by Costa Rica, and let me say how much of a pleasure it is to be back here in this wonderful, beautiful country.The BYND 2015 Global Youth Summit has been organized by ITU and the Presidency of Costa Rica to provide young people with a platform to express their own views on the role that information and communication technologies should play in the post-2015 development agenda.This is only right and proper, as the post-2015 development agenda will matter very much more to this young generation than to earlier, older, generations – such as mine, for example!The summit is being held here in Costa Rica at the personal invitation of President Laura Chinchilla, who is the ITU patron of the Child Online Protection initiative.As a key advocate of the role of the youth in social development, President Chinchilla has been a major driver of this summit – and without her tireless enthusiasm and passion we simply wouldn't be here together today.Thank you, Madame President!Ladies and gentlemen,Distinguished youth delegates,The preparatory process for this summit started at the end of last year and a great deal of work has gone into its success.In a connected world, everyone has a voice; so it is now up to you – the youth delegates here – to take the process forward and to make your voices heard.I am confident that you have come here to Costa Rica to challenge us and to challenge the world with your ideas, your innovations, your energy and your creativity.It is a tremendous privilege for me to be here and to be part of your Summit, and I am looking forward immensely to capturing your ideas and to bringing them forward to the international global agenda – starting with the United Nations General Assembly in just over two weeks time.If there is one thing in the world that has changed since the Millennium Summit in the year 2000, it is technology – and yet technology is still extraordinarily absent from the post-2015 process!So let's use the next three days to send a really strong message to world leaders about the power of technology to change the world and empower people!I am looking forward to seeing you build on the incredible surge of enthusiasm which has been created over the past months through the crowdsourcing efforts all over the world, and from the numerous workshop hubs which are feeding into this process here in Costa Rica – from Bangladesh to Nigeria, from India to Mexico, and from Qatar to Zimbabwe.Currently young people have organized 46 hubs or workshops in 31 different countries bringing together some 3000 participants and the number is growing by the day. These hubs are incredibly important because they demonstrate how serious we are about digital inclusion. Many of the young people participating have no connection to the Internet or no computer at home. Their voices are now being heard and will contribute to the outcomes.We wanted this summit to be a showcase of the power of technology to connect and empower people and to bring them together around a common cause; to collaborate and create solutions for their future. I believe the model of empowering young people to run their own events around the world has greatly facilitated this.This physical summit in Costa Rica can be considered as the manifestation and culmination of everything that is already happening online and through the hubs around the world. This model can be further developed for the future to ensure grass roots empowerment and mobilization; to facilitate the sharing of ideas online; and to open up participation to everyone whose voice needs to be heard.Distinguished youth delegates,ITU is proud of the work we do to advance the global youth agenda, and I am constantly impressed by the drive and enthusiasm of the young people I meet wherever I travel around the world.Among the thousands of contributions and comments on the crowdsourcing platform, we are seeing common trends emerging which young people are telling us need to be prioritized. Issues such as access to affordable ICTs are high on their agenda, as well emphasizing the importance of innovation to address youth unemployment, or the critical issue of citizen participation through the increased availability of digital tools.I am also proud, on a personal level, to Chair the Working Group on Broadband and Youth which was set up by the Broadband Commission for Digital Development in 2011, and which was one of the driving forces behind the creation of the BYND 2015 Global Youth Summit.Ladies and gentlemen,Before I close, I would personally like to thank all of the partners who have made this summit possible – through financial contributions; the provision of content and resources; the organization of key activities during the summit; and by funding and mobilizing youth from within their networks.This is a summit that is far greater than the sum of its parts, and let me therefore express our tremendous gratitude to each of our summit partners.In total we have 40 partners, making this a truly unique multi-stakeholder partnership event, which reflects the importance attached to the summit.In particular, the very high-level engagement of the private sector underlines the fundamental importance of public-private partnerships in our quest to make the world a better place – and we can all be proud to see such prestigious brand names among our trusted partners.You have all helped to make this summit possible; thank you all!Thank you.

Preview: 2011 Regular Season Game 75 - A's at Mets
Probable Starting Pitchers: Oakland - Graham Godfrey (1-0, 4.76) New York Mets - Chris Capuano (5-7, 4.29)
The Oakland Athletics lost in frustrating fashion to the New York Mets last night, watching their season-high six-game win streak go to waste on a hit batsmen with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 13th inning.
Oakland vies to bounce back and earn a series victory Thursday afternoon in the rubber match of this three-game interleague set from Citi Field.
Brad Ziegler was on the hill for the A's in the 13th inning of last night's contest and allowed a one-out single to Lucas Duda, who moved to second on Daniel Murphy's ensuing base hit. Jose Reyes was then intentionally walked and Ziegler plunked Justin Turner to allow Duda to stroll home for a 3-2 New York win.
"I know the pitch was inside, it got away from me," said Ziegler, who was pinned with the loss. "It's just not how you want to end the game. If I'm going to lose, I'd rather be beaten with a base hit."
Athletics starter Gio Gonzalez was brilliant through seven innings in a no- decision, as he yielded only one run and four hits with eight strikeouts and one walk. He also retired 15 of the final 17 batters he faced. Oakland starters were 5-0 with a 1.16 ERA in six games before Gonzalez's result.
Kurt Suzuki homered and Conor Jackson recorded two hits and an RBI for the Athletics, who will visit Philadelphia for three games on this road swing and sit 5 1/2 games behind Texas for the American League West lead.
Before their recent six-game winning streak, the A's had lost 13 of 14 games, including 10 in a row from May 30-June 9.
Oakland is 4-4 in interleague play this season and 140-116 all-time versus the National League.
Graham Godfrey will make the third start of his career when he toes the rubber for the Athletics this afternoon. Godfrey tossed 4 1/3 innings and allowed five runs in a no-decision on the road against the Chicago White Sox in his big-league debut on June 10.
Godfrey then made his first start at the Coliseum in last Friday's 5-2 victory over San Francisco and held the defending World Series champions to two runs -- one of which was earned -- on six hits in seven innings for his first career win.
"The thing I'll remember the most will be a couple times on the mound when I could hear the A's fans going, cheering, and then the Giants fans, and they're just going back and forth," Godfrey said. "Just hearing that was pretty neat. But definitely the first win means even more when it's against a team like that."
The righty is back on the road for his first career start against the Mets.
New York had dropped two straight and four of five games before Turner's hit- by-pitch got the team back into the win column last night. It is 2-3 on a six- game homestand and received eight innings of one-run ball from starter R.A. Dickey, who did not record a decision and struck out nine batters to just one walk.
Bobby Parnell was credited with the win for pitching a scoreless top of the 13th inning for the Mets, who will visit Texas and Detroit for six games following today's tilt with Oakland. Reyes recorded his MLB-leading 13th triple of the season and Ronny Paulino added three hits, while Turner posted a pair of runs batted in -- none bigger than the one in the 13th.
"I don't mind taking one, not in that situation," Turner said. "I'll stay in there and stand my ground. Unless it's at my face or around my ankle, I'll stay in there and take a bruise."
The Mets are 16-12 at home after starting the season 1-8 at Citi Field. They still sit 10 1/2 games off the pace in the NL East, however, and own a 3-5 mark in interleague play this season.
Reyes, meanwhile, leads the majors with 36 multi-hit games.
Angel Pagan went 0-for-4 for New York last night after entering the game having hit safely in 16 of his 19 outings this month. He still has 11 RBI and nine runs scored in June.
Chris Capuano will try to get himself back into the win column when he takes the ball for New York today. He had won consecutive starts before losing to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in last Friday's 4-3 defeat in Queens.
Capuano was hit for three runs, two of which were earned, and eight hits in six innings against Anaheim to fall to 5-7 to go along with a 4.29 earned run average in 15 games (13 starts) this season. The left-hander is 2-4 in seven home starts and has never faced Oakland in his career.
New York had won four straight over Oakland, including a three-game sweep at Shea Stadium in 2007, before losing Tuesday's series opener.
