In capacitor monitoring or measuring types of circuits it has been common to use capacitor bridges typically having four legs. A four-legged type of bridge normally is fed with power across two legs and an output is differentially measured across the other two legs. In this type of a bridge, particularly one that utilizes capacitive elements in the bridge circuit, the nulling of the bridge or the measuring of a capacitive element causes an interaction which in turn normally requires trimming or adjustment of more than one element.
The present invention is directed to a simple sensing circuit which has a single output relative to ground rather than the usual outputs from a four-legged type of bridge. The present invention has particular utility in condition responsive type systems in which a capacitive element is condition responsive, such as responsive to humidity. The humidity sensitive element is a capacitor, such as a polymide dielectric type of sensor that changes capacity with humidity. This type of capacitance sensing element has a very low dissipation factor. This means that the capacitor appears to be a pure capacitor with a negligible amount of resistance. This being the case, a balance is possible with a trim adjustment on a single element. This is opposed to the normal approach of trimming or balancing the capacitor elements in the circuit. The present invention is directed to the adjustment of a single resistive element in the circuit. The resistive element is much easier to automatically adjust than would be a capacitive type element. It also allows the bridge to be balanced independent of the applied frequency, permitting a square wave drive which is easily obtained.
The sole FIGURE is a circuit of a simple humidity control circuit.
A signal generator means 10 is provided that is shown as a square wave generator. The square wave generator is shown for simplicity sake in considering the present invention. The output of the voltage generator means 10 is provided on a conductor 11 to a NOT gate 12 where the square wave in turn is inverted and supplied to a conductor 13. The conductor 13 separates at 14 into two voltage paths at conductors 15 and 16. The conductor 15 is connected through a NOT gate 17 to a conductor 18. The conductors 16 and 18 provide two varying voltages that are opposite phases of a single wave form as disclosed at the wave form 20 and 21. This provides an output circuit means for the voltage driving means generally disclosed at 22 which includes the voltage generator 10 and the circuitry to the output conductors 16 and 18.
The output conductor 18 is connected to a resistor Ra, while the conductor 16 is connected to a resistor Rb. For reasons that will become apparent later on, the resistors Ra and Rb are of the same magnitude. The resistor Ra is connecte at 23 to a variable resistor Rx. The variable resistor Rx is connected to ground at 24 and can be any type of variable resistance element ranging from a potentiometer to a resistor that is trimmed in a hydrid circuit application.
The junction 23 is further connected through a capacitor Cf which is a fixed capacitor having a very low dissipation factor thereby appearing as substantially a pure capacitance with negligible resistance. The capacitor Cf in turn is connected at a common point 25 to a second capacitor Ch which has been shown as a variable capacitor. The capacitor Ch is variable in nature and generally is a condition responsive capacitor, such as a humidity responsive polymide type of capacitor. The capacitor Ch could be any type of variable capacitor that varies in response to a condition (other than humidity) or could be manually adjusted, if called for by the circuit application. The capacitor Ch in turn is connected to the resistor Rb.
The common junction 25 forms a processing circuit output means for the circuit disclosed, and it is connected at terminal 30 to a load that is shown at 31 as a resistance type of load connected to a further terminal 32 which in turn is connected to ground 24. The adjustable reisitance Rx is adjusted in such a manner as to be capable of nulling the voltage at the processing circuit output means 25.
For a low cost circuit, it is easiest to drive the bridge elements from signal outputs that are being driven to saturation by potential values near the power supply values supplied by the signal generator means 10. With a regulated power supply, the output to the bridge elements, Ra, Rb, Cf, and Ch are then essentially regulated. In order for a single output to null relative to ground, the two legs must be driven with opposite phases of a signal, such as the square wave signal disclosed at 20 and 21. This is accomplished readily from a single voltage generating means 10 by the use of the NOT gate or inverter amplifier 17 in the tip leg of the circuit.
In order to understand how the null is obtained through the adjustment of resistor Rx, the following considerations and assumptions are made. It is assumed that capacitor Cf is a fixed, stable capacitor which is in the order of 50 percent larger than the variable capacitive element Ch. In this particular case the element Ch is a humidity element. If this is the case, we can define a parameter A equals Cf/Ch where A will be approximately 1.5. Now, as the voltage at 18 goes to a value of E (the power supply voltage), the value of voltage at 16 goes to 0. When this happens, the instantaneous voltage change across the resistance element Ra of the top leg must equal that of the bottom leg, since the magnitude change of the voltages at 16 and 18 are equal. For this reason, and the fact that the instantaneous current change in Ra equals Rb, resistance Rb of the bottom leg is designed equal to Ra of the top leg. This selection can reasonably be made to provide Ra sufficiently close to Rb for all practical purposes without the need for calibrations on their values. With Ra equals Rb, the instantaneous current change in Ra equals Rb at the time the driving voltage switches because the voltage cannot change instantly across the series connected capacitors Cf and Ch. Since the instantaneous change in current through Ra all flows through Cf, no instantaneous change in current occurs in Rx to add an instantaneous voltage change to Cf of the top leg. Because of this there is not an instantaneous voltage change at terminal 30 when the driving voltage switches. At null, it is also necessary that the time constant of the impedance driving capacitor Cf is equal to that of the capacitor Ch since the currents in Cf and Ch must remain equal without causing a voltage change at terminal 30. In order for these time constants to be equal, the resistor Rx must be selected. The equivalent series resistance driving capacitor Cf is Rx in parallel with Ra or RxRa/Rx+Ra. For the two time constants to be equal, RxRa/Rx+Ra times Cf must equal RbCh. Now, since Rb already equals Ra, and Cf equals (A) Ch then RxRa/Rx+Ra times ACh must equal RaCh. By substitution RxA equals Rx+Ra; or Rx equals Ra/A-1.
With this circuit then, a capacitor Cf is applied which is some factor larger than Ch, but not of a precise calibrated value. Calibration is then obtained by selecting Rx equals Ra/A-1 where A is the factor of the capacitor Cf relative to the capacitor Ch at the point we desire null. The resistor Rx can be determined by observing the output between the capacitor Cf and Ch at point 25 in the circuit while the adjustment is being made.
The present circuit can be used by measuring or amplifying the off null output voltage at terminal 30 with respect to terminal 32 (ground 24) as humidity changes the circuit from the null condition. Or, the present circuit can be used by calibrating a potentiometer making up Rx that defines null points for the entire humidity range.
The present invention discloses a very simple circuit that is capable of being used with a capacitive sensing element in which a null can be created by the simple adjustment of a single resistive element. This arrangement highly simplifies the design of a sensing circuit and provides for a very inexpensive circuit that can be readily adapted to condition control applications. The circuit has been shown in a very simplified form and it is quite obvious that may modifications in the arrangement disclosed can be undertaken by one skilled in the art. For this reason the applicant wishes to be limited in the scope of his invention solely the scope of the appended claims.

WASAGA BEACH – Local woman reaches Bachelor Canada finale
NORTH SIMCOE – Much like the traffic on County Road 93, the Penetang Kings and Midland Flyers found themselves going in opposite directions in recent Junior C hockey action.
What was expected to be a make-or-break weekend for the two teams turned out to be just that.
On Sunday at the North Simcoe Sports and Recreation Centre, the hometown Flyers earned a 3-2 win over the Erin Shamrocks to conclude a heavy diet of post-Christmas action. Saturday at home, Midland registered an 8-5 win over the Kings in the annual Challenge Cup game, witnessed by 300 fans.
Those two wins took the pain away following a 10-4 loss by Midland to the Stayner Siskins on Dec. 27.
The agony of defeat, however, was something the Kings felt a lot of over the weekend, capping off a frustrating stretch Sunday with a 10-1 road loss at the hands of the Alliston Hornets.
All was not lost, though, as Penetang opened the weekend Dec. 28 with a 5-2 win over the Schomberg Cougars.
In the 3-2 win over Erin on Sunday, Midland picked up second-period goals from Matt Brown and Mark Bragagnolo to take a 2-0 lead after 40 minutes. Zach Hele notched the winner midway through the third period. Erin held a 40-28 edge in shots, but Marco Colangelo stood tall to earn the win in the Flyers net. Midland was one-for-three on the power play.
Sunday in Alliston, Matt Fischer scored the lone Penetang goal in the 10-1 loss to the Hornets. Adam Redgate took the loss in net, with Alliston holding a 34-18 edge in shots. The outcome was never in doubt, as Alliston led 3-0 after the first period and 7-0 after 40 minutes.
The Hornets scored two power-play markers in the game, while Penetang was held scoreless during its six power-play opportunities.
In the marquee matchup of the weekend, the 8-5 Midland win over Penetang, Josh Lafrance scored three goals and added one assist for Midland. J.D. Sterne had two goals and four assists. Single goals went to Curtis Warren, Daniel Pickering and Nathanial Jessop. Warren added three assists.
Matt Fischer led the Kings with three goals, while Austin Fischer had one goal and three assists. Nate Archer also collected a goal.
Connor Akins earned the win in the Flyers net, with Penetang holding a 42-40 edge in shots.
The two teams combined for 99 minutes in penalties, with Matt Brown (Midland), ex-Kings forward Zach Leduc, Matt Meher (Penetang) Kyle Burns (Penetang) and Josh Gonzales (Penetang) picking up majors for fighting.

The focus of Intel's DRM Color Manager work is to have a common interface for all color correction / enhancement properties for different hardware, the color manager one be one umbrella DRM property, and DRM drivers can register the color correction properties of its hardware during initialization time.
Those interested in this DRM color management driver work being done can find the initial design documentation up for review on the

401(k) And Qualified Plans: Introduction
During retirement years, income for retirees usually comes from three primary sources:
- Social Security benefits
- The regular savings account of the retiree
- Retirement-plan savings, such as IRAs and employer-sponsored retirement plans
A qualified plan is established by an employer to provide retirement benefits for its employees and their beneficiaries.
A qualified plan may be a defined-benefit plan or a defined-contribution plan. Qualified plans allow the employer a tax deduction for contributions it makes to the plan, and employees typically do not pay taxes on plan assets until these assets are distributed; furthermore, earnings on qualified plan assets are tax deferred.
Why Establish a Qualified Plan?
For a business, choosing the right retirement plan is one of its most important financial decisions because the plan must suit not only the employer's immediate needs but also its financial and business profile.
A qualified plan offers benefits to both employer and employees:
Benefits for Employers:
- Employers may receive a tax deduction for plan contributions.
- Employers are able to attract and retain high-quality employees. A qualified plan may be the tiebreaker that wins over a skilled person who is offered relatively similar compensation packages from different potential employers.
- Employers may be able to claim a tax credit for part of the ordinary and necessary costs of starting up the plan.. With a maximum of $500 per year for each of the first three years of the plan, the credit equals 50% of the cost to set up the plan, administer it and educate employees about it.
- Employees are provided with some guarantee that their retirement years will be financially secure.
- For plans that provide salary-deferral features, employees are able to defer paying taxes on a portion of their compensation until their retirement years, when their tax bracket may be lower.
- Some plans allow employees to borrow from the plan. The interest paid on the loan amount is credited to the employee's account, unlike interest on loans obtained from financial institutions, which is paid to the financial institution.

Maybe Dredd was never going to be successful. It was based on a comic book beloved by a certain slice of the global population (British people) and mostly unknown to everyone else. I say "mostly" because if you say the words "Judge Dredd" in polite company, everyone thinks of the terrible 1995 Sylvester Stallone movie, a film that has somehow become the go-to example of Everything Stallone Did Wrong After Cliffhanger. The new Dredd had a curious pedigree: Written by Alex Garland, who has worked on some great films; directed by Pete Travis, who hasn't. At one point, rumors circulated that Travis has been fired in post-production; the filmmakers released a statement claiming that they had "an unorthodox collaboration," which is usually behind-the-scenes code for "We Hate Each Other." The film co-starred Olivia Thirlby, best known for for various teen-movie roles; by comparison, imagine if they cast Molly Ringwald in Cobra. The movie was released in the late-September death slot. They opted to append a "3D" to the title, at the exact moment when even teenagers decided they were finished with 3D. It's an R-Rated action movie, at a cultural moment when most people get their R-Rated action fix from TV shows. Also, the star of the movie wears a helmet for essentially the entire movie. This isn't The Hobbit, is what I'm getting at. READ FULL STORY

I stay at a hotels a lot and what I normally consider a great experience is when a hotel does a great job of alleviating the inconvenience of not being at my own house with my own stuff and kitchen. But the sorrento is a whole other thing. It's effing fabulous. I felt instantly relaxed and at home, if my home were a huge gilded age mansion. The food is wonderful, the staff is very available, the lobby area- I just wanted to hang out there and not go out. Even the courtyard, which is on a busy street, was like a cocoon. The whole experience was like being in another better world. AND there was tons of free street parking within a 2 blocks radius!
The one lame thing was there is only one elevator, but it is a genuinely old building, and what're you gonna do? It moved fast- you could tell they've made an effort to make it as speedy as possible. And it had a rug that said the day of the week! Which is more reassuring than you might think when you are travelling.

Took along time for us to get checked in,about an hour and half...could not find our kayak reservation. Told us to wait a few minutes while they looked and had us take a seat while they checked in other customers which seemed to go slow..had to go back up after they had checked other people in and ask again about our reservation...told again it would be awhile and to come back but assured us they had a room for us. I felt they should have got us into out room and then looked for the reservation...went to eat at the pub downstairs had an early dinner and came back and finally got into our room...Room was clean, shower head had a leak at top of shower head and sprayed all over...the plus about the hotel is the location, can walk almost everywhere you want to go..Staff was courteous but for the price need to step it up. We will go back just because of the location and hope the experience is better.

If you need to be close to the airport, you can't beat this hotel
Staff was hit or miss. Guy at check in was quite crabby and not accommodating to a fellow guest who was looking for transportation. After paying 16.00 for breakfast, when I asked for a plain, black tea bag (like Lipton) the waiter told me he didn't have it and I would have to take one of their fancy flavored. Then I noticesd that Lipton tea bags are in every room!! However, the woman at check out was very helpful with a fed ex I needed to ship.

We never received a call, so came back after dinner around 8:00 pm to pick up our key. Thank goodness we didn't wait in the lobby!

We stayed at the Marqueen before leaving on a cruise out of Seattle. It's in a beautiful old building in the fun Queen Anne district of Seattle - there are plenty of restaurants and bars in walking distance, and the cruise port is about a $10 cab ride away. The staff was very friendly, and we got a lot more space than we anticipated - it was a very comfortable room. The staff is friendly and helpful as well. Only downside is that there's no elevator, so you'll be carrying your luggage up a staircase (a very grand, beautiful staircase, but a staircase nonetheless) - but this is a very small nit - overall we had a great experience at the Marqueen.

MINCE Pies were top of the menu when Droitwich's High Street welcomed a brand new business just in time for Christmas.
Town mayor Coun Anne Taft was among those in attendance to officially open 'Millinery Creations by Caroline' on December 1.
Coun Taft cut the ribbon to formally open the new premises and then made a short speech congratulating owner Caroline Butcher and wished her well with the new venture.
"Caroline's shop brings something exciting and individual to the town centre," said Coun Taft.
"I will definitely be a customer – I've always been a hat person," she added.
Following the ceremony guests were treated to an intimate concert in the shop from Britain's Got Talent saxophonist Julian Smith and classical soprano vocalist Amelia Whiteman.
Festive mince pies were also served as people viewed the extensive collection of hats and fascinators on display.

SEC East scenarios
Florida had a chance to wrap up the SEC East against Georgia. They could not beat Georgia and now…
|From the other sideline: Tennessee
Hear from Tennessee head coach Derek Dooley and his players after the 38-35 loss to the Gamecocks by the Volunteers. The loss drops Tennessee to 0-5 start in the SEC.
Head Coach Derek Dooley
Opening Statement
?Well that was another tough finish. It was a great football game and I am proud of my team for the resiliency that they showed. We gave up a lot of big points. It's the same old song and dance in the SEC games, but we had a chance to win. They made a great play, got the ball out and turned it over. So all you can do is move on. We didn't really accomplish what we wanted to against these SEC top teams but we have to turn the page. There is a lot at stake down the stretch and we could still have a really good season.
The offensive line's performance against the USC defense
They did a great job. That's one of the top defenses in college football. We put 472 yards on them and 35 points, but it wasn't enough to win the game.
Tennessee's identity as a team
?Our identity is to give up a lot of big plays, but keep fighting and try to hunker down at the end and win. So far that identity has gotten us 3-5. We need to fix our identity and reshape our identity.
Tyler Bray responding to challenge
He played a great game, but had an unfortunate end to a great game.
Marcus Lattimore's Injury
?Everybody has a lot of respect for Marcus and what he has done. Nobody likes to see a player get hurt. So I think when [my players] saw the severity of it and went out there, it just shows the respect that everybody has for each other as athletes. Nobody wants to see that happen.
Vincent Dallas • WR • Sophomore
Defense at the end of the game?
?[Jadeveon] Clowney is a good player, and he was coming off the edge really strong. They were just making plays when it counted.
Being so close to winning again??
We've been in a lot of situations like that all year. We just haven't been able to capitalize on the field.
Zach Rodgers • WR • Senior
Was that mistake totally crippling?
?Yeah one mistake when you're behind in a ball game in the SEC can really hurt you. We have learned week in and week out that you can't make those kinds of mistakes. At the same time, we've learned we can't dwell on the mistakes and the end result too much.
On the last drive
?We had a lot of momentum going into that last one and I thought we were going to score no doubt. I felt like we were going to go up and win this ball game, and break the streak. But unfortunate things happened and it just didn't go our way.
Justin Hunter • WR • Junior
Take us through that last play
The ball was thrown deep and on the inside a little bit, so I just tried to rush over there as fast as I could to jump up there and get it. I guess I jumped too late, and I had the ball in my hands but I guess he was able to make the play.
Not being able to get a win against the top of the SEC
It's obviously frustrating to be able to come back and make the game close at the end but still not be able to get over the hump. It's really frustrating.
Mychal Rivera • TE • Senior Did you see the fumble??
Yeah I saw the ball come out as I was finishing my route and just wasn't close enough to make a play on it and try to recover. I saw them get it and I knew it was all bad from there.
Was this similar to the other loses?
We're fighting, and if you look at last year we weren't fighting like we should have. Down by three going into the endzone you really can't ask for a better situation.

Egypt pound little changed at FX auction, weakens on black market
CAIRO, June 13
CAIRO, June 13 (Reuters) - The Egyptian pound inched slightly lower at a central bank foreign exchange auction on Thursday, but the currency weakened by much more on the black market.
The bank said it sold $38.8 million to banks at the auction, with the cut-off price weaker at 6.9835 Egyptian pounds to the dollar compared to 6.9813 at Wednesday's auction.
On the black market, the currency weakened, with one dealer in central Cairo quoting 7.58 pounds to buy dollars and 7.63 pounds to sell dollars, compared to 7.48 and 7.51 on Wednesday.
The central bank introduced the auctions at the end of December to help stave off a currency crisis and thwart a run on the pound. Since then, the currency has lost almost 11 percent of its value on the official market.

1. Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey have also left American Idol
Surprise, surprise: After mountains of bad press and the worst ratings in the series' history, Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj have announced that they won't be returning for another year as judges on American Idol. Just a few hours after Carey announced that she would leave the show to "focus on her upcoming tour," Minaj took to Twitter to announce that she would also be departing the series, leaving poor Keith Urban to judge all alone. It's been a troubled year for American Idol, but don't let all this turnover behind the scenes take away from your love of this year's American Idol winner — whatever her name was again.
2. Kanye West doesn't want to be the only guy at Kim Kardashian's baby shower
If you're one of the lucky few on the guest list for Kim Kardashian's ultra-exclusive baby shower, don't expect to see her beau Kanye West in attendance. In an interview with Ryan Seacrest on KIIS-FM, sister Khloe Kardashian revealed that Kanye is so worried about the male-to-female ratio at Kim's upcoming baby shower that he might not attend. "Kanye says he feels like it's weird for him to be the only guy," said Khloe. "I'm like, it happens to all girls, so if all the guys come at the end, it's good." We assume West will also loudly contend that Beyonce had the best baby shower of all time.
3. Sam Mendes will probably direct the next two James Bond movies
In direct contradiction to what everybody has been saying for months, Skyfall director Sam Mendes is reportedly slated to return as director for the next 007 film — tentatively titled Bond 24 — and is also in talks for Bond 25. Showbiz411 adds that while Daniel Craig is slated to appear as James Bond in both films, Adele is not likely to return to record the new theme song — but nevermind, they'll find someone like her.
4. Nicolas Cage and Milla Jovovich are in talks for The Expendables 3
As Sylvester Stallone tries to find action stars who haven't already appeared in the Expendables franchise, he's reportedly in talks to check off two of the last big ones: Milla Jovovich and Nicolas Cage, whose blockbuster credentials and willingness to appear in terrible, unnecessary sequels for a paycheck make them perfect choices for The Expendables 3. If Stallone does manage to secure the stars, we can all start looking forward to The Expendables 4, which will presumably star Harrison Ford, Kurt Russell, and that big robot from Robocop.
5. Justin Bieber's monkey finally has a home
Good news, everybody: After a long and troubling saga, Justin Bieber's monkey has finally found a new home. On what was presumably a very,very slow news day, the Associated Press checked back in with the monkey — which Bieber abandoned in Germany in March — and discovered that he had secured a home with six other capuchin monkeys in the Serengeti Park in Hodenhagen. The monkey seems to have moved on — which, if Bieber's relationship with Selena Gomez is any indication, means that the pop star will probably start obsessively trying to win him back.

Blogs Liberty and Power Wall Street Couldn't Have Done It AloneOct 7, 2011 5:47 pm
Wall Street Couldn't Have Done It Alone
To Occupy Wall Street:
Wall Street couldn't have done it alone. It takes a government and/or its central bank, the Federal Reserve System, to:
Create barriers to entry for the purpose of sheltering existing banks from competition and radical innovation, then "regulate" for the benefit of the privileged industry;
Issue artificially cheap, economy-distorting credit in order to, among other things, give banks incentives to make shaky but profitable mortgage loans (and also to grease the war machine through deficit spending);
Make it lucrative for banks—and their bonus-collecting executives—to bundle thousands of shaky mortgages into securities and other derivatives with the knowledge that government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and other companies, all subject to powerful congressmen looking for campaign contributions, would buy them after a government-licensed rating cartel scores them AAA;
Inflate an unsustainable housing bubble by the foregoing and other methods, enticing people to foolishly overinvest in real estate;
Work closely with lending companies to establish a variety of programs designed to lure people with few resources or bad credit into buying houses they couldn't afford;
Attract workers to the home-construction bubble, setting them up for long-term unemployment when the bubble inevitably burst;
Implicitly guarantee big financial companies and/or their creditors that if they get into trouble they would be rescued;
Compel the taxpayers to bail out those companies and/or creditors when the roof finally fell in.
No bank or group of banks could do these things on its own in a freed market. It takes a government-Wall Street partnership—the corporate state—to create such misery and exploitation.
So demonstrators, you are right. Something is dreadfully wrong. But your list of culprits is far from complete. So go ahead and protest outside Goldman Sachs and Bank of America. But also spend some time outside the White House, the Fed, the Treasury, and the Capitol Building. Together they are responsible for our current economic woes. These are the entities that control our fate and over which we have no real say. It's time for things to change.
Greed without political power is boorish. Greed with political power is dangerous.
The freed market is the alternative to what you properly despise.

Spain is considering raising consumer, energy and property taxes, the government said on Tuesday, as it struggles to reduce a public deficit that may have already exceeded one of its budgeted ceilings for the full year.
Underlining the state of Spanish finances as it negotiates an international bailout for its banks, the central government deficit was 3.41 per cent of gross domestic product from January to May, close to an end-year target of 3.5 per cent, Treasury data showed.
Madrid is under intense pressure by nervous debt markets to tame one of the highest public shortfalls in the euro zone and the government will be hoping to have a new slew of austerity measures to show European leaders at a summit later this week.
The high central government deficit figures were due to early cash transfers of almost €9 billion (NZ$14.2b) to Spain's struggling regions had stretched the deficit to €36.4 billion by the end of May, the Treasury said.
Excluding the transfers, which are made each year but were paid early this time to help the cash-strapped regions, the deficit would have been 2.38 per cent of GDP, it said.
The central government deficit, announced on Tuesday, does not include figures from the social security system or the 17 devolved regions.
At the end of the first quarter, and thanks to the payments, the regions were ahead of their targets, though whether that will bring the overall shortfall in line with end-of-year goals will not be known until mid-year regional accounts are published.
With the economy in its second recession in three years slashing the total Spanish deficit from 8.9 per cent of GDP last year to 5.3 per cent this year, as has been pledged by the government, remains a serious challenge.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has announced tax hikes and spending cuts worth around €45 billion, but he had so far resisted calls from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund to raise the value added tax (VAT).
In an unexpected move two days before the EU summit where measures to ease the pressure on Spain's borrowing costs will be discussed, the government said on Tuesday it was now considering increasing the rates on certain products and services.
Madrid's short-term lending costs nearly tripled at an auction on Tuesday from a month earlier while demand for the paper shrank as investors demanded ever higher premiums to hold Spanish debt.
Spain's current VAT rate is 18 per cent, one of the lowest in Europe, but many products are charged at a reduced 8 per cent or a ''super-reduced'' 4 per cent.
''The ministry is studying reclassifying certain products and services that have reduced or super-reduced VAT,'' a spokesman for the ministry said.
Madrid is also considering eliminating tax breaks on housing after reintroducing the measure as one of the first decrees the centre-right government announced after being sworn in December.
It is also considering introducing a so-called ''green tax'' on petrol, following recommendations by the European Union, Treasury Secretary Marta Fernandez Curras said.
However, with the economy contracting at very quick pace, some say increased austerity could be counterproductive.
Mark Miller, an economist at Capital Economics, said hitting the deficit target ''is going to be pretty tough the way things are going. There's a lot of austerity in train, but economic activity is slowing sharply too.''
The low activity is already hitting tax receipts, with revenues from value added tax down 10.1 per cent in the January-May period from a year earlier, the Treasury said.

I ended up turning it off halfway through. I found it pretty dry and boring. Thought it was going to be something totally different.
|Posted by Rob_Apples 2 years, 4 months ago
I started watching this with a totally different expectation of what this was going to be about. I thought it was going to be about how either one side was bad or the other. It's not. I think it's a well done documentary about how Al-Qaeda and the US <which wasn't the only country involved but focused on primarily> had used media for their own propaganda war. It was unbiased <as good journalism should be> and held its integrity.
|Posted by Xamaca 2 years, 4 months ago
nice one, pretty sharpish on comment too. i like al-jazeera's docs and repo's, and i rate them on same level as the ones from the bbc, they usually have wide open and critical view, more mature then american ones (vanguard is great though). And remember never take media for full and complete truth. just watch more and keep thinking yourself. and never believe the internet :)
|Posted by Babypowder 2 years, 4 months ago
War makes me sick, people who enjoy or promote going to war make me sick, pretentious US propaganda and indiscriminite killing from afar makes me sicker, Terrorism and bombing people for the monopoly on your personal truth via faith makes me sickest. That being said i find this a very good documentary only problem i have is with the statement that is a an adult thing to do not to show Bin laden's body to the world, because that leaves to much room for questions, same as hitler people still wonder if hes alive or not, showing his corpse would have fixed that and given a lot of people a sense of finality.

Steven Tyler to Offer Highest EJAF Bidder a Seat at His Oscar Viewing Party
The Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) is very pleased to announce that Steven Tyler, a generous Foundation supporter and an Event Chair for EJAF's 20th annual Academy Awards Viewing Party, is working with EJAF to help make its 20th Oscar-night event especially successful. Through an auction on Charitybuzz Steven is inviting the highest bidder to be a guest at his table for the Party.

The Foundation's 20th annual event will feature a cocktail reception, an incredible dinner prepared by celebrity chef Cat Cora and served during the Oscar telecast, an exciting live auction, and an after-show performance by Foster the People. Chopard, Neuro, and Wells Fargo are the Presenting Sponsors for the event, and American Airlines is the official airline partner for the Foundation.
"How would you have to dress if you were sitting next to me at a table at Elton John's Oscar Party," Steven Tyler joked. "Sounds like a loaded question, eh? Put your money where your mouth is and arrive as you will and come as you are to help me support the Elton John AIDS Foundation!"
"All of us at EJAF are deeply grateful to Steven for his tremendous generosity over the past several years," stated EJAF Executive Director Scott Campbell.
