Further Explanation
The following section gives further explanation of the diagram of the Nichikan-transcribed Gohonzon. The numbering of each term corresponds to the numbering on the diagram.
(A version of this article appeared in the August 29, 1997, World Tribune.)
The Nichikan Transcribed Gohonzon
On the Nichikan-transcribed Gohonzon, the ten worlds are represented in two groups: the four noble worlds (Buddhahood, Bodhisattva, Realization and Learning) and the six lower paths (Heaven, Humanity, Anger, Animality, Hunger and Hell). On the Nichikan Gohonzon, the four noble worlds are indicated by Shakyamuni Buddha (No. 8) and Many Treasures Thus Come One (No. 9), who both represent Buddhahood, and the four leaders of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth-Bodhisattva Superior Practices (No. 10), Bodhisattva Boundless Practices (No. 11), Bodhisattva Firmly Established Practices (No.6), and Bodhisattva Pure Practices (No.7). The lower six worlds are represented by figures indicating Heaven, Animality and Hunger. Heaven is indicated, for instance, by the Four Great Heavenly Kings-Great Heavenly King Hearer of Many Teachings (No.4), Great Heavenly King Upholder of the Nation (No. 13), Great Heavenly King Increase and Growth (No. 27), and Great Heavenly King Wide-Eyed (No.33), and Great Heavenly King Sun (No. 20), Great Heavenly King Moon (No. 16), Great Heavenly King Stars (No.15) and the Devil King of the Sixth Heaven (No.19). Animality is indicated by Eight Great Dragon Kings (No.22), and Hunger is indicated by Mother of Demon Children (No. 25) and Ten Demon Daughters (No.24).
Other Characters
T'ien-t'ai (No. 26) and Dengyo (No. 23) represent those who transmitted the true lineage of Buddhism in the past. The native gods of India, Great Heavenly King Indra (No. 17) and Great Heavenly King Brahma (No.18), are incorporated into the Gohonzon as Buddhist gods. So, too, are gods native to Japan-Sun Goddess (No.31) and Great Bodhisattva Hachiman (No.28).
Arrangement of the Gohonzon
The graphic arrangement of the Gohonzon is based on the concept of the Ceremony in the Air depicted in the Lotus Sutra. The eleventh or "Emergence of the Treasure Tower" chapter depicts the appearance of a magnificent tower: "At that time in the Buddha's presence there was a tower adorned with the seven treasures, five hundred yojana in height and two hundred and fifty yojana in width and depth, that rose up out of the earth and stood suspended in the air" (The Lotus Sutra, p.170).
One yojana is said to be the distance the royal army could march in a day. According to one interpretation, 500 yojana would be equal to the radius of the earth. The Treasure Tower was closed when it first emerged, but Shakyamuni opened it when Many Treasures Thus Come One, who appeared to validate Shakyamuni's teachings, invited him to sit with him in it. This is how the Ceremony in the Air begins.
Regarding the Treasure Tower, the second Soka Gakkai president, Josei Toda, says: "Within our lives exists the magnificent state of life beyond our comprehension called Buddhahood. This state of life or its power defies our imagination; nor can our words express it. However, we can concretely manifest this state in our lives. To explain that our lives can manifest the latent Buddha nature as a concrete reality is the ceremony depicted in 'The Emergence of the Treasure Tower' chapter."
In other words, the appearance of the Treasure Tower is a metaphor for the magnificent Buddha nature in our lives. In the Lotus Sutra, the opening of the closed doors of the Treasure Tower represents the transition from a theoretical explanation of Buddhahood as a potential state to the actual manifestation of the Buddha nature in each person.
On the Gohonzon, "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo-Nichiren" corresponds to the Treasure Tower. Shakyamuni Buddha and Many Treasures Thus Come One are seated in the tower facing the audience. The rest of the bodhisattvas, deities and various beings are facing these two Buddhas. In India, important persons are usually seated to the right. That Shakyamuni is placed to the left of "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo" as we face the Gohonzon and Bodhisattva Superior Practices (the leader of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth) to the right means that Shakyamuni is facing out from within the Treasure Tower and Bodhisattva Superior Practices is facing him.
The Gohonzon diagram published along with this article will help you see the position and meaning of each inscription on the Nichikan-transcribed Gohonzon. It is hoped that explaining the graphic components of the Gohonzon will make it easier for you to sense the meaning of Nichiren Daishonin's message to all humanity-that every individual is potentially a Buddha, that everyone can attain Buddhahood through faith in the Gohonzon.
Our lives are just like the Treasure Tower, but they may be closed and buried deep in the earth of delusion. Our challenge, therefore, is to bring the hidden Treasure Tower up from within the soil of our fundamental darkness and open it, establishing Nam-myoho-renge-kyo in the center of our lives and illuminating our lower life-conditions-putting them in their proper places.
What makes this possible is the power of faith and practice for oneself and others. It is our challenge to continue to practice to the Gohonzon with firm faith in its message that we are innately endowed with the supreme treasure. In this way, we can solidify Buddhahood as the basis of our life-condition, as exemplified by the arrangement of the Gohonzon.

Last night I saw multi-instrumentalist songwriter Owen Pallett play at the wonderful Supercrawl art festival in Hamilton, Ontario. I'd sort of lost track of him over the years, so almost didn't go, but it turned out he was spectacular. Suddenly, I remembered why I loved him so much after seeing him play my beloved Ford Plant in 2005. Anyway, it prompted me to look him up today, and I noticed this on his Wikipedia page:
In 2007, the song "This Is The Dream Of Win & Regine" was used in a commercial for Wiener Stadtwerke without Pallett's permission. Instead of litigation, Pallett and his booking agent Susanne Herrndorf approached the company for sponsorship for a music festival of their curation. The resultant Maximum Black Festival featured Final Fantasy, The Dirty Projectors, Deerhoof, Frog Eyes, Max Tundra, Six Organs Of Admittance and others. It played Vienna, Berlin and London.
Now there's a solution. I have no in-depth knowledge of the situation, but it appears a little sense, creativity, and willingness to not hold grudges and to work with others ended up getting all parties a lot further than getting adversarial would have. And instead of lawyers getting the main bulk of benefit, musicians got paid, fans got value, and even the business who made the original mistake ended up with additional benefit (and probably an amazing project to have been involved in).
Think of it. Someone wrongs you, and instead of hiring lawyers and "suing their ass", you take an "enemy" and make them a friend and collaborator. More of this, please.
P.S.— If you don't know Owen's stuff, I suggest you watch this live video of him playing in a rainstorm.

Antonio Valencia told United Review that it's been an eventful couple of weeks at Old Trafford, but that the yearning for a silver-lined season remains undiminished...
How is everyone feeling after a pretty eventful couple of weeks on three fronts?
Everyone is feeling good. We were pleased with the win over Norwich and there are so many positives to take out of our performance against Madrid despite the result. I don't like to look at it as a down - we all know the big things that happened in the match which had an effect on the eventual result, but these things happen. Football is about ups and downs. Chelsea are always tough opponents and we were delighted to go 2-0 up and things were looking good. But when a team of that quality gets one back there is always a danger they can get another and that's what happened unfortunately. The most important for us is to keep our heads up and move on to the next challenge.
You mentioned the positives you can take from the Madrid game - in a way can what happened inspire to you to succeed in other competitions?
Yes, definitely. For 65 minutes we were ahead in the game and the tie, playing well and in control. We know what happened after that. It's hard to take positives when you've lost but in that particular match there were a lot of positives. We were one man down for most of the second half but even in the final few minutes we had Madrid penned back in their area. We showed that this Manchester United team is full of heart, character and a desire to be successful no matter the situation. And that is something that can inspire us for the future.
What was the overriding feeling after the Chelsea FA Cup game – frustration that we hadn't gone through after being ahead or relieved to still be in it given how things panned out?
2-0 is always quite a dangerous scoreline in

Oh YEAH!!!
This flash RULES!!! It's the best LL submission i've seen for LL's 2006 Birthday EVER!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
Rated 3 / 5 stars May 27, 2006
Good try
I like this, good song choice and a DDR type game in flash! It could be improved by making the arrows a bit easier to see and time the arrows to the song. Also, when the song "ends", to wind up on a different screen and show the score instead of just making the score appear and the song just repeating itself with arrows and action still happening in the background. The scoreboard is also a bit hard to read.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars May 27, 2006
Have I seen this before?
Very hard to follow what moves are about to come. Maybe it has something to do with the color combo. The character is hard to make out. Also it looks A LOT like something I've seen before called Ya-Dancer. You could probably find that if you googled it or whatever. It just looks much similar.
Rated 2 / 5 stars May 27, 2006
that kinda blew
it was a terrible attempt to remake stomp to my beat as a flash ddr game, however you still got a 4 because the arrows were true to the song on light mode just very sorely off beat

LEWISBURG, Pa. — The Grammy Award-winning vocal group Chanticleer will perform in concert Saturday, Oct. 1, at 8 p.m. in the Weis Center for the Performing Arts at Bucknell University. Tickets for the concert are $20.
The all-male a cappella vocal ensemble of 12 has a repertory spanning 10 centuries, including Gregorian chant, Renaissance polyphony, Romantic art song, jazz, spirituals, and contemporary music including works by Bucknell composer and professor of music Jackson Hill.
"One of Professor Hill's pieces is in their tour repertory this year," said Bill Boswell, executive director of the Weis Center, "and they are definitely going to sing it for him here." Hill's Voices of Autumn (1982) was on the group's 2004 Grammy-nominated album, Our American Journey.
Chanticleer has won Grammy Awards for the albums Colors of Love and Sir John Tavener's Lamentations and Praises. Christmas with Chanticleer: An Orchestra of Voices has been broadcast nationally on television since 2002 and is available on DVD. Parade magazine listed Chanticleer's latest release as one of the top releases of the year.
Tickets for Weis Center performances are available in person from the Campus Box Office in the Weis Center weekdays 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and one hour prior to events. Tickets also are available by calling 570-577-1000 or online at http://www.bucknell.edu/boxoffice/
This performance by Chanticleer is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Nancy and Sam Craig of Lewisburg. The 2005-06 season of Weis Center events is made possible in part by generous funding from the Bucknell University Association for the Arts and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. Additional support for the series is provided by numerous and generous private donors including members of the Weis Center Green Room Circle and Green Room Board.

Qualifying for a Disability at Work
"I was just given a warning at work. The memo cited many problems that are rooted in my ADD — missing deadlines, making careless errors, and so on. I've worked at this job for years, and the news is devastating. What are my legal rights?"
Employees whose ADHD is severe enough to qualify as a disability, and who disclose their disorder, are protected from workplace discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
However, many employees report being fired after disclosing their AD/HD. With this in mind, you might consider replying to the warning with a pleasant letter (a letter is preferable to a conversation because it creates a paper trail) along these lines: "Thank you for bringing these problem areas to my attention. I've given your comments a lot of thought, and I have some suggestions that should help. First, my desk is in a high-traffic area. Dealing with the constant stream of interruptions makes it hard to finish work on time. I'd be more productive if I could work in a quieter space…."
Address each of the problems with similar suggestions — rather than requesting "accommodation for a disability." If your employer is not receptive, seek legal counsel.
If you'd like to pursue "reasonable accommodations" under the ADA and your state's laws, you'll have to disclose your disability. Most disability rights laws encourage a dialogue between the employer and employee, so be prepared for an ongoing conversation.
Work with your doctor or therapist beforehand to ensure that you're comfortable describing AD/HD and how it affects you. Be sure you have proper documentation, such as a note from your physician. Request specific accommodations, emphasizing that they'll increase your productivity.
To ensure that your employer maintains your privacy, mention politely but firmly that you understand that this information will remain confidential. If your employer's generally a blabbermouth, this will remind her that the topic is off-limits.

All values, unless otherwise stated, are in US dollars.
With an economy worth $64 billion (2012 IMF estimate) ($170 billion PPP estimate),[1] and a per capita GDP of about $7900 (PPP), Sri Lanka has mostly had strong growth rates in recent years. In GDP per capita terms, it is ahead of other countries in the South Asian region.
The main economic sectors of the country are tourism, tea export, apparel, textile, rice production and other agricultural products. In addition to these economic sectors, overseas employment contributes highly in foreign exchange, 90% of expatriate Sri Lankans reside in the Middle East.
Since becoming independent from Britain in February 1948, the economy of the country has been affected by natural disasters such as the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and a number of insurrections, such as the 1971, the 1987-89 and the 1983-2009 civil war. The parties which ruled the country after 1948 did not implement any national plan or policy on the economy, veering between left and right wing economic practices. The government during 1970-77 period applied pro-left economic policies and practices. Between 1977 and 1994 the country came under UNP rule and between 1994 and 2004 under SLFP rule. Both of these parties applied pro-right policies. In 2001, Sri Lanka faced bankruptcy, with debt reaching 101% of GDP. The impending currency crisis was averted after the country reached a hasty ceasefire agreement with the LTTE and brokered substantial foreign loans. After 2004 the UPFA government has concentrated on mass production of goods for domestic consumption such as rice, grain and other agricultural products.[10]

Economic history[edit]
Sri Lanka began to shift away from a socialist orientation in 1977. Since then, the government has been deregulating, privatizing, and opening the economy to international competition. Twenty five years of civil war has slowed economic growth [2], diversification and liberalization, and the political group Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) uprisings, especially the second in the late 1980s, also caused extensive upheavals.[11]
The Mahinda Rajapakse government halted the privatization process and launched several new companies. Sri Lanka has a relatively high Human Development Index with a high literacy rate (90.1%) which are the result of universal education policies and widespread healthcare. Sri Lanka's Human Development Index and literacy rate are among the highest in the South Asian region, and infant mortality is among the lowest. Sri Lanka has 555 publicly funded hospitals.
Following the quelling of the JVP insurrection, increased privatization, economic reform, and a stress on export-oriented growth helped improve the economic performance, increasing GDP growth to 7% in 1993.
Economic growth has been uneven in the ensuing years as the economy faced a multitude of global and domestic economic and political challenges. Overall, average annual GDP growth was 5.2% over 1991-2000.
In 2001, however, GDP growth was negative 1.4%--the first contraction since independence. The economy was hit by a series of global and domestic economic problems and affected by terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka and the United States.
The crises exposed the fundamental policy failures and structural imbalances in the economy and the need for reforms. The year ended in parliamentary elections in December, which saw the election of a pro-capitalism party to Parliament, while the socialism oriented Sri Lanka Freedom Party retained the Presidency.
The government of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe of the United National Party has indicated a strong commitment to economic and social sector reforms, deregulation, and private sector development.
In 2002, the economy experienced a gradual recovery. Early signs of a peace dividend were visible throughout the economy—Sri Lanka has been able to reduce defense expenditures and begin to focus on getting its large, public sector debt under control.
In addition, the economy has benefited from lower interest rates, a recovery in domestic demand, increased tourist arrivals, a revival of the stock exchange, and increased foreign direct investment (FDI).
In 2002, economic growth reached 4%, aided by strong service sector growth. The agricultural sector of the economy staged a partial recovery. Total FDI inflows during 2002 were about $246 million.
The largest share of FDI has been in the services sector. Good progress was made under the Stand By Arrangement, which was resumed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). These measures, together with peaceful conditions in the country, have helped restore investor confidence and created conditions for the government to embark on extensive economic and fiscal reforms and seek donor support for a poverty reduction and growth strategy.
The resumption of the civil-war in 2005 led to a steep increase defence expenditures. The increased violence and lawlessness also prompted some donor countries to cut back on aid to the country.[3][4].
Sri Lanka has also accumulated a 9.2% deficit and the central bank has not intervened since late 2006 to print more currency [5].
A sharp rise in world petroleum prices combined with economic fallout from the civil war led to inflation that peaked 20%. However, as the civil war ended in May 2009 the economy started to grow at a higher rate of 8.0% in the year 2010.[12]
Macro-economic trend[edit]
This is a chart of trend of gross domestic product of Sri Lanka at market prices [13] by the International Monetary Fund with figures in millions of Sri Lankan Rupees.

In 1977, Colombo abandoned statist economic policies and its import substitution trade policy for market-oriented policies and export-oriented trade.
Sri Lanka's most dynamic industries now are food processing, textiles and apparel, food and beverages, telecommunications, and insurance and banking.
By 1996 plantation crops made up only 20% of exports (compared with 93% in 1970), while textiles and garments accounted for 63%. GDP grew at an annual average rate of 5.5% throughout the 1990s until a drought and a deteriorating security situation lowered growth to 3.8% in 1996.
The economy rebounded in 1997-98 with growth of 6.4% and 4.7% - but slowed to 3.7% in 1999. For the next round of reforms, the central bank of Sri Lanka recommends that Colombo expand market mechanisms in nonplantation agriculture, dismantle the government's monopoly on wheat imports, and promote more competition in the financial sector.
Pre 2009 there was a continuing cloud over the economy the civil war and fighting between the Government of Sri Lanka and LTTE. However the war ended with a resounding victory for the Sri Lankan Government on 19th May 2009 with the total elimination of LTTE.
Government provides employment for 13% of the work force and follows state enterprise oriented policies.
Privataization of such enterprises has stopped and reversed, with several new state enterprises launched
External sector[edit]
Trade account issues[edit]
In the recent past, the Sri Lankan Government has identified some key focal areas to address the external imbalances of the economy, especially with regard to reducing its high trade deficit (~15% of GDP for 2012) in order to make the economy comply with the Marshall–Lerner condition. Sri Lanka's oil import bill accounts for an estimated 27% of total imports while its pro-growth policies have resulted in an investment goods import component of 24% of total imports. These inelastic import components have led to Sri Lanka's Export goods price elasticity + Import goods price elasticity totaling less than 1, resulting in the country not complying with the Marshall–Lerner condition.
Some of the suggested proposals include:
- Import substitution of investment goods and consumer goods
- Tax concessions towards value added exports
- Negotiating longer credit periods for oil imports
- Allowing the external value of the currency to be determined by market forces (with minimal central bank intervention).
Key cushioning items in the current account[edit]
- Tourism revenue (Sri Lanka's tourism revenue accounted for ~US$1bn for FY2012 with ~1mn tourist arrivals)
- External worker remittances accounted for ~US$6bn in FY2012
- However, as the income account reported a negative balance owing to high debt servicing payments and repatriation of income from foreign investments, the current account deficit was reported at 5.5%to 2012 GDP.
Capital account[edit]
- Within the capital account, borrowings still account for a significant proportion as opposed to Foreign direct investments.
- FDIs were estimated at ~US$800mn for FY2012
Overall balance (BOP)[edit]
- The economy ended with an overall positive balance of US$151mn for 2012 (vs. a US$1,061mn deficit in FY2011)
Financial institutions[edit]
The Central Bank of Sri Lanka is the monetary authority of Sri Lanka and was established in 1950. The Central Bank is responsible for the conduct of monetary policy in the country and also has supervisory powers over the financial system.[14]
The Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) is the main stock exchange in Sri Lanka. It is one of the most modern exchanges in South Asia, providing a fully automated trading platform. The vision of the CSE is to contribute to the wealth of the nation by creating value through securities. The headquarters of the CSE have been located at the World Trade Center Towers [7] in Colombo since 1995 and it also has branches across the country in Kandy, Matara, Kurunegala, Negombo and Jaffna.[15] In 2009, after the 30 years long civil war came to an end, the CSE was the best performing stock exchange in the world.
Economic infrastructure and resources[edit]
Transportation and roads[edit]
Most Sri Lankan cities and towns are connected by the Sri Lanka Railways, the state-run railway operator. The Sri Lanka Transport Board is the state-run agency responsible for operating public bus services across the island.
The total length of Sri Lankan roads exceeds 11,000 kilometres (6,840 mi), with a vast majority of them being paved. The government has launched several highway projects to bolster the economy and national transport system, including the Colombo-Katunayake Expressway, the Colombo-Kandy (Kadugannawa) Expressway, the Colombo-Padeniya Expressway and the Outer Circular Highway to ease Colombo's traffic congestion. The government sponsored Road Development Authority (RDA) has been involved in several large-scale projects all over the island in an attempt to improve the road network in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka's commercial and economic centers, primarily the capitals of the nine provinces are connected by the "A-Grade" roads which are categorically organized and marked. Furthermore, "B-Grade" roads, also paved and marked, connect district capitals within provinces.
The energy policy is governed by the Ministry of Power and Energy, while the production and retailing of electricity is carried out by the Ceylon Electricity Board. Energy in Sri Lanka is mostly generated by hydroelectric power stations in the Central Province.[16][17] The Sri Lankan Government and many individual "green groups" in Sri Lanka have been focusing on eco-friendly solutions to energy development and the country is undergoing changes to enforce stricter environmental policies in industries, both public and private.[citation needed]
Economic sectors[edit]
Tourism is one of the main industries in Sri Lanka. Major tourist attractions are focused around the islands famous beaches located in the southern and the eastern parts of the country and ancient heritage sites located in the interior of the country and resorts located in the mountainous regions of the country.[18][19] Also, due to precious stones such as rubies and sapphires being frequently found and mined in Ratnapura and its surrounding areas, they are a major tourist attraction.[20]
The 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami[21] and the past civil war have reduced the tourist arrivals, however the number of tourists visiting have been recently increasing, beginning in early 2008.[22] March 2008 by 8.6% and Sri Lanka attracted 1,003,000 tourists in 2012 according to the Central Bank of Sri Lanka's 2013 roadmap.[23]
Tea industry[edit]
The tea industry, operating under the Ministry of Public Estate Management and Development, is one of the main industries in Sri Lanka. It became the world's leading exporter in 1995 with a 23% share of global tea export, higher than Kenya's 22% share. The central highlands of the country have a low temperature climate throughout the year and annual rainfall and the humidity levels that are suitable for growing tea. The industry was introduced to the country in 1867 by James Taylor, a British planter who arrived in 1852.[24]
Recently, Sri Lanka has become one of the countries exporting fair trade tea to the UK and other countries. It is believed that such projects could reduce rural poverty.[25][26] but
Apparel and textile industry[edit]
The apparel industry of the Sri Lanka mainly exports to the United States and Europe. Europe increasingly relies on Sri Lankan textiles due to the high cost of labor in Europe.[citation needed] There are about 900 factories throughout country serving companies such as Victoria's Secret, Liz Claiborne and Tommy Hilfiger.[27]
The agricultural sector of the country produces mainly rice, coconut and grain, largely for domestic consumption and occasionally for export. The tea industry which has existed since 1867 is not usually regarded as part of the agricultural sector, which is mainly focused on export rather than domestic use in the country.[28]
The Five-hub concept[edit]
The 5-hub concept introduced in Mahinda Chintana (GoSL's policy document), focuses on developing the Sri Lankan economy subject to the development of the following five hubs
Key focal areas and goals[edit]
Maritime hub[edit]
- Colombo Port – Container mega hub
- Hambantota Port – Free port service, industrial and multi-purpose
- Galle Port – Cruise shipping centre
- Trincomalee – Port-related industries
- Oluvil Port – Commercial and fisheries
- Kankasanthurei & Point Pedro – Regional port
Aviation hub[edit]
- Second international airport at Mattala
- Modernisation of the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) and building of second runway at the BIA
- Development and upgrading of domestic airports
- Position Colombo as a regional logistics and services hub and as a hub for budget airlines
Commercial hub[edit]
- Establish Sri Lanka as the foremost centre in the region in the provision of commercial services, International banking and international investments
- A Singapore-type model to be followed via the growth of ports and tourism
- Main challenges include lack of:
- Physical infrastructure,
- Digital infrastructure,
- Human capital infrastructure and
- Regulatory and legal infrastructure
Energy hub[edit]
- Develop renewable energy sources
- New oil refinery at Hambantota
- Oil exploration and production – 3 sea basins (offshore) have been identified (Mannar, Cauvery, Southern Waters[29])
- Develop oil trade-related ancillary services including gas
Knowledge hub[edit]
- Target IT literacy and internet access for all
- Creation of knowledge-based jobs
- Commence degree programmes directly targeting foreign students
- Accredited foreign universities to set up university colleges in Sri Lanka
Global economic relations[edit]
Exports to the United States, Sri Lanka's most important market, were valued at $1.8 billion in 2002, or 38% of total exports. For many years, the United States has been Sri Lanka's biggest market for garments, receiving more than 63% of the country's total garment exports. India is Sri Lanka's largest supplier, with imports worth $835 million in 2002. Japan, traditionally Sri Lanka's largest supplier, was its fourth-largest in 2002 with exports of $355 million. Other important suppliers include Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and South Korea. The United States is the 10th-largest supplier to Sri Lanka; U.S. imports amounted to $218 million in 2002, according to Central Bank trade data.
A new port is being built in [Hambantota] in Southern Sri Lanka, funded by the Chinese government as a part of the Chinese aid to Sri Lanka. This will ease the congestion in Sri Lankan ports, particularly in Colombo. In 2009, 4456 ships visited Sri Lankan ports.
Credit rating and commercial borrowing[edit]
Sri Lanka had applied for credit ratings from international agencies in its efforts to apply for loans from international markets in 2005 after the election of Mahinda Rajapakse as president. Standard and Poor's has rated Sri Lanka a "B+" speculative rating, four grades below investment grade. Fitch has rated Sri Lanka with "BB-" which is three grades below investment grade. Standard and Poor's maintains Sri Lanka is constrained by providing widespread subsidies, a bloated public sector, transfers to loss-making state enterprises, and high interest local and international burdens [10]. Standard and Poor's estimates public sector debt has reached 95% of GDP [11], in comparison to CIA estimates of 89% of GDP [12]. Sri Lanka in mid-2007 sought to borrow $500 million from international markets to shore up the deteriorating exchange rate and reduce pressure on repayment of the domestic debt market [13]. The head of the opposition UNP, Ranil Wickremasinghe has warned that such intense borrowing is unsustainable and will not repay these loans if elected to power [14].
Foreign assistance[edit]
Sri Lanka is highly dependent on foreign assistance, and several high-profile assistance projects were launched in 2003. The most significant of these resulted from an aid conference in Tokyo in June 2003; pledges at the summit, which included representatives from the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, Asian Development Bank, Japan, the European Union and the United States, totalled $4.5 billion.

Craig MacTavish has already used free agency to re-set part of his roster: Russian blue Anton Belov has been signed and will compete for an NHL job this fall. How many holes can the new GM fill via free agents?
- Top 4D who can play big minutes and multiple roles
- Impact 2-way center
- 2line L who with size who can complement the offense
- backup goalie
- Improved depth at C
Improved depth at D(already added Belov, Klefbom will compete and Fedun/Marincin up from OKC)
- Improved depth in G
Let's have a look.
- C Valtteri Filppula. MacT could hit a big fly with this Finn C, who has skill, 2-way ability and has had tremendous success over his NHL years. If MacT is looking for a free agent option to send a clear message to players, fans, and league, this is the free agent to procure over the summer.
- C Boyd Gordon. We've talked about him so much I feel as though Gordon is already here. A strong 2-way option for any team, suspect he'll have a lot of interest in a very competitive free agent summer. The Oilers have had success in the last 12 months (Schultz, Belov), and signing Gordon would be a large item. Expect he would see both 3rd and 4th line C duties depending on situation/how many holes they can repair this summer.
- L Ryan Clowe. In looking for 'puck retrieval' options, I didn't find a whole hell of them. Clowe will be over priced and may be on the downside, but he's the most attractive free agent option I could find.
- D Paul Ranger. I think he'd qualify under improved depth, but there does seem to be a player here. He's 28, mobile, smart and has average size. This isn't a major 'name' option, but NHL history is rife with defenders who wandered the wilderness, settled in late 20′s, and had significant NHL careers. Steve Staios arrived in Edmonton, age 28.
- L Clarke MacArthur. Veteran LW who can score goals and hangs in there in the tough going. Leafs may still sign him but should he come available, MacArthur may be an ideal addition to the Gagner-Yakupov duo. He's young enough to hang around for the good times, but experienced enough to be a part of the elder statesman group MacT is probably going to bring in to replace Horcoff.
- L Viktor Stalberg. I know, I know. However, one playoff run is in fact a tournament of small sample sizes. If the Oilers could sign him at a reasonable number and give him the soft parade with Gagner-Yakupov I think we might be looking at another 20 goal season.
- G Anton Khudobin. Free agent Bruin backup may want to play in the NHL more often than he does currently, he would be the ideal solution.
- D Simon Gysbers. I don't really know a thing about him, but when looking at Dallas Eakins roster for the Marlies he stood out. I know this is another Leafs player but if there's an opportunity why not?
Here's my list from last season, Oilers grabbed two from that list here's hoping for two more.

Latin officials are struggling with the fallout of capital inflows in an era of easy money. The risk of financial instability may be growing
By Taimur Ahmad and Katie Llanos-Small
When finance ministers of the Group of 20 nations gathered in
Moscow in February, exchange rates topped their agenda.
Officials sought to ease mounting fears that the world's
biggest economies are locked in a race to the bottom to devalue
their currencies.
"We will not target our exchange rates for competitive
purposes," the G20 ministers said in a communiqué after
their summit. "We will resist all forms of protectionism and
keep our markets open."
Within days of their statement, the G20's wish for a shift
in financial market perceptions appeared suddenly - and
alarmingly - to have come true. For the first time in months,
investors turned sharply from speculating on an outbreak of
so-called currency wars to worrying anew about financial crisis
in the eurozone, as a fresh bout of political turmoil took hold
in Italy.
Risky assets - including emerging market currencies,

Loving this Dress I went to David's Bridal to just look at some of the favorites I had selected online. They offered their time to have me try on a few. I was looking for a dress with satin a little lace and some bling. And although this was on my list it surely was not my first pick. It was the second dress I tried on and from there on no other dress could compare. This dress was everything I didn't know I ever wanted! Can't wait to have my fitting and especially can't wait for my big day! God Bless to all the brides and may you too find your perfect dress! April 20, 2013
Absolutely Beautiful!! I went into David's Bridal saying that I did not want a lace dress. I told the consultant that it was not my preference. After trying on a handful of dresses that I wasn't in love with, she brought me this dress. I thought it was pretty, so I decided to try it on, even though it was lace. As soon as I walked out of the dressing room and looked in the mirror I knew this was my dress. It is absolutely beautiful!! It is not the lacy dress that I had pictured when I think of lace. The sequence is just stunning. I truly felt beautiful in this dress and felt like it fit perfectly on my body. I CANNOT wait to wear it on my wedding day! April 6, 2013

Thyroxine, otherwise known as T4, is a hormone produced and secreted by the thyroid gland. At the tissue level, T4 is converted into the more active form of the hormone called T3. For this reason, T4 is considered a measurement of total production of thyroid hormone.
High levels of T4 are associated with symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, diarrhea, and muscle aches and pains. These symptoms collectively are known as hyperthyroidism.
Low levels of T4, known as hypothyroidism, are associated with symptoms such as depression, weight gain, dry skin, hair loss, constipation and cold intolerance.
Fasting is not required. Take all medications as prescribed. Do not take supplements the day of the test. This test is also included in the Life Extension thyroid panel.

Lévi, Éliphas (1810-1875) (Abbé Alphonse-Louis Constant) The son of a French shoemaker who was educated for the priesthood but was expelled for various interesting reasons. He thereupon took the name Lévi, became a mystic, and wrote on the subjects of magic and the kabala. He was a great admirer of Paracelsus. About 1850 he wrote Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie (translated as "Transcendental Magic, Its Doctrine and Ritual") and History of Witchcraft. Those books brought about one of the periodic revivals of interest in the Rosicrucians. Sir William Crookes was an ardent disciple of Lévi, for whatever value that may have.

(CNN) -- A 2-year-old boy who authorities say was abducted following a home invasion robbery and double homicide in Richmond, Virginia, was found late Saturday, police said.
Authorities said a suspect fled the scene of the robbery and homicides in a vehicle that was idling near the home. The toddler, identified as Kaiden Gage Burnside, was inside the vehicle, they said.
"The car and the child have been recovered," said Lt. Ronnie Armstead, a spokesman for the Richmond Police Department.
The boy was unharmed, Armstead said.
The identities of the shooting victims were not released, and police believe they had no relation to the boy. The suspect has no relation to the child, Armstead said.
Authorities have pieced together the events of the home invasion and shooting through the statements of a witness who was inside the house at the time of the shooting, Armstead said. That witness was not related to the suspect nor man and woman who were killed, he said.
Police have issued an arrest warrant for Jamal Clemons, 27, on suspicion of abduction, robbery, robbery with a firearm, using a firearm in the commission of a felony and a felon being in possession of a firearm, Armstead said.
Clemons, according to authorities, lives on the same street -- about a block away -- from the home invasion scene.
Investigators believe the assailant did not know the child was in a white GMC vehicle when he stole it, Armstead said.
The vehicle was discovered by police a short distance from scene of the home invasion, he said. Authorities believe that when the perpetrator realized there was a child in the vehicle, he abandoned it, Armstead said.
CNN's Stephanie Gallman contributed to this report.

Here at Mando we love experimenting, so we set up Labs to give us an ongoing space for innovation. PLAY, our annual full day extension, was held recently - see what we got up to in this video.
It's not an actual laboratory*, but it's a way all our employees can take time away from the immediate pressures of project delivery and play their part in exploring and shaping what happens next online.
We love technology and how it connects with people, so labs is a vital way for us to keep pace with change and use this thinking to deliver better solutions for our customers.
It's also fun. Some of our labs projects find their way into our blog posts.
PLAY has an even more open format than the main Labs projects, allowing staff to take a risk, and learn from what works and what doesn't during a full day.
The day generates competitive and commercial advantage for both us and our customers by allowing everyone to explore new ideas and push creative boundaries; stimulating wider thinking and ways of working that improve the way we do things.
And we may discover new things that we're great at… who knows, we may have a Mando Personal Hovercraft Division some day!

It's a week that is designed to stress the importance of making good choices -- and making those choices all the time.
It's Red Ribbon Week at Minot's Central Campus.
Students have taken part in different activities throughout the week pushing home the message that drugs and bullying are things to avoid -- and being welcoming is preferred!
Ericka Larson is a sophomore student council member.
She says the last few school years have seen many new students coming to Minot...and they are working hard to make them feel at home.
(Ericka Larson - Minot High School Sophomore) "There has been quite a bit of effort. We try to have nobody sit alone at lunch so that is helping with the new students. Student Council did this thing where you mix it up at lunch and where you sit with new people and there are cards on the table so you can have a discussion at the table."
Today being Halloween it is 'Boo to Drugs and Bullying' day at Central.
Students were encouraged to wear orange and black -- and purchase some extra treats today with the proceeds going toward a classmate who is battling illness this year.

The HCG Solution Weight Loss Breakthrough?You've seen them on TV, you've read about them in magazines and on the internet. They're HCG diet plans, and they've got to be the most controversial, purported weight-loss plans of all time. There are literally thousands of brands and hundreds of combinations of orally administered so-called HCG products to be had. But do any of them really work? To tell you the truth, almost every expert will say either "absolutely not", "the reduced calorie diet plan caused the weight-loss" or "the weight-loss was the result of the placebo effect." Yet the fact remains that tens of thousands of men and women swear by it… just ask your friends.
But if you're going to try an oral formula and see what all the fuss is about, make sure the formula you choose is processed according to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and made in the U.S.A. Do not settle for substitutes or products claiming to be "Homeopathics" manufactured from unauthorized animal parts.
The NiGen Guarantee:
NiGen BioTech guarantees that its branded "HCG Solution" contains the full spectrum of human chorionic gonadotropin amino acid isolates derived from certified grade raw materials (the very purest materials available) which are then processed according to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), is made in the U.S.A. and is 100% hormone free. For your convenience both a generic "HCG Diet Plan" and a resource for additional "HCG Diet Plan" information are included.
What Is HCG?HCG is natural hormone and stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. Dr. Simeon discovered that this hormone could be used to assist dieters to lose weight and could help to curb one's appetite tremendously. In recent years a homeopathic oral HCG product was developed. Homeopathic HCG has been shown to be just as effective on the diet in aiding with weight loss as the injectable HCG. HCG interacts with the Hypothalamus gland, increases metabolism and allows the body to use fat as energy.
Limit the use of caffeine-containing medications, foods or beverages while taking this product because too much caffeine may cause nervousness, irritability, sleeplessness and occasionally, rapid heart beat. This product contains a significantly potent xanthine (i.e. caffeine and caffeine-like stimulants) mixture, of about 50 mg per serving. Consult your physician before use if you are sensitive to stimulants. Do not exceed suggested daily serving. Not for use by individuals under the age of 18 years. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Use only as directed. Keep out of reach of children. Phynlketonurics: Contains Phenylalanine.

Scammers Lure With 'Promises, Promises'
If you have a computer, you've probably gotten one of those emails that say you've just won a lot of money or some foreign government needs your help getting money out of that country.
They are known as "Nigerian" scams.
Consumer investigator Jennifer Kraus found a local couple who fell victim to one of these international operations.
But, in their case, they didn't get an email. Their problems all started with a letter.
Janet Brooks and her husband Bill thought the letter in their mailbox was the answer to their prayers.
"It's a miracle," she recalls thinking. "It's going to make life really easy."
The letter, from a company in Canada, claimed the Brooks were owed $762,095 in bonds.
"It looked official," says Janet Brooks.
So they called the toll-free number to claim their money and were told they would have to first pay a $250 handling fee. "And it just sort of snowballed from there," says Brooks.
"That should be a red flag," says Keith Perrigan, assistant special agent in charge of the U.S. Secret Service in Nashville.
He says the letter, like the e-mails you get that ask for help transferring money out of another country or the ones that say you've won an international lottery, is a classic Nigerian scam.
"The one common thing with all these type scams is that there is always a fee that you end up having to pay," says Perrigan.
And although the Brooks paid the $250 fee to get their money, the money never came.
Then, they were told they had to come up with even more money to cover taxes.
Later, they told they needed to send money for insurance, security fees, delivery fees, transfer fees and finally document fees.
"There's this fee, there's that fee. There's now an international tax, 'we ran into some difficulties, could you pay this fee?'" says Perrigan.
But Brooks says, "Each time that they came up with a situation, we felt like it was legitimate." So they kept sending money to the man who kept repeatedly asking for more.
"He was so sincere about everything he said," says Brooks.
In fact, as we visited with the Brooks they got a call from him assuring the Brooks they'd finally get their money -- as soon as they sent one last check.
"When can we get that seven thousand and we finish it, William?" the scammer asks Bill Brooks.
Perrigan says, "They're expert scammers and expert scammers have the ability to lure people in."
And he says these scammers are usually impossible to catch and prosecute because they generally operate outside the United States.
In fact, the Brooks were told to send their money to five different cities around the world including: Houston, Texas; Vancouver, Canada; Sydney, Australia; Paris, France; and Kigali in the African nation of Rwanda.
NewsChannel 5 discovered the address in Houston is simply a business that forwards mail.
And our investigation found it's been used in similar scams.
Authorities in Australia also tell us the address there is now the focus of an investigation by their state fraud unit.
Since the Brooks received their letter they've sent nearly $40,000 overseas, their entire life savings.
And, in return, they say they've received absolutely nothing.
"I'd like to get my hands on them," Bill Brooks says. "I'll be honest about it."
Perrigan adds, "You'll never get money. They'll continually ask you to send more."
And that's what happened as we listened to the scammer ask the Brooks for more.
"I've told you what you have to do now," says the scammer. "That's what is needed. They agreed that once they get the $7,000 they can now release it."
And Perrigan says as long as the scammers can continue to get you to spend more money and send them more money, they'll be after you.
The Brooks say they've been told their windfall has supposedly now grown into more than a million dollars, but they say they now know better.
"We were the victim of a scam," she says.

KSP Offers Free Motorcycle Safety Seminar
Date of News Release: 05/09/2012
(Frankfort, KY.) KSP is offering a free motorcycle safety training seminar on Thursday, May 17, 2012 from 6 p.m. 9 p.m. at KSP Headquarters, located at 919 Versailles Road in Frankfort, Kentucky.
The seminar will be taught by a Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) RiderCoach who will utilize MSF curriculum for this training seminar. Topics will include proper gear, tips for new and seasoned riders and sharing the road with motorists. The training will be performed in a classroom setting and not require the student to have a bike.
KSP Spokesman Capt. David Jude says the course not only prepares a new rider for the road but is a great refresher class for seasoned riders.
"There's often an obstacle facing new riders," says Jude. "They'd like to buy their first bike or maybe upgrade to a newer, more powerful one, but worry about their ability to handle it safely. Rider education programs are the answer for both beginning and seasoned riders. We advocate attending refresher courses that help riders keep their edge by sharpening their skills."
Jude advised that Bruce Young from Frankfort, Kentucky will teach the seminar.
"Bruce brings a wealth of experience from various fields including the Motorcycle Safety Foundation," says Jude. "He is a certified RiderCoach for MSF and is very active in motorcycle safety projects in Kentucky."

Day two of testimony began on Tuesday morning in the trial of Nalakeio Bennett.
Bennett is one of four men accused of breaking into Ira Beumer's house in February 2012. He is on trial for burglary resulting in bodily injury, criminal confinement, and theft.
Prosecutors brought in six witnesses on Tuesday, one of them being Sharlae Murray, who is friends with the four men who authorities say broke into Beumer's home
Murray was questioned because Jeton Hall, Antwan Jenkins, Desmond Hogan, and Nalakeio Bennett showed up to her house before police say they went to Beumers. She was asked if there were guns in her house before they came over, and she said no.
Murray said there were guns once Nalakeio and Desmond showed up. Prosecutors presented a transcript of the conversation Murray had with police the night of the incident that says she told them Nalakeio had guns. On Tuesday, she said she wasn't sure who brought the guns.
Randy Chapman, the lead detective in the case, was also put on the stand. Chapman says he interviewed Nalakeio after the incident. Nalakeio told him he was in the car the whole time the others were inside Beumer's house.
A man who towed the car involved in the accident, the paramedic who responded to the scene, and a special agent with the FBI Evansville office also testified.
The trial will resume Wednesday morning at 8 a.m.
