The information provided in this report is based on comments made by Casey Harwood in an interview held by a third party verification company with no biases toward Detroit Advantage.
Detroit Advantage is a specialist property management company that offers professional management services for the Detroit property market with offices in London, Bournemouth, and Detroit. Their specialist team offers on-the-ground assistance to cater to client's buy-to-let needs. The company's largest target market is existing property investors. That consists of landlords with property in the UK or overseas that are seeking a higher yield and also capital appreciation from the American marketplace. They feel that their biggest completive advantage is volume in sales processed through the company. This allows the company to have more bargaining power in the market place and pass those discounts onto clients.
A typical process that a client would go through when working with Detroit Advantage starts when the potential client reviews the company through a series of advertisements; the company then sends them an introductory email. Many of their advertisements are through Google pay per click, which educates the client on the benefits and pitfalls of the marketplace. Additionally, the ads inform consumers about of different property types (ranch, bungalow, colonial, multi-family). Then, the company calls the potential customer and assigns them a point of contact to discover what the client is looking for in working with the company. Detroit Advantage then consults with the client to discover a suitable solution and guide them toward properties they would choose for themselves.
The company is focused on improving internal processes and procedures. This past year, they have hired a staff member to deal directly with investor relations. This allows a point of contact for any dissatisfied customer to be guided through a process of reaching a solution with a specific action plan. Casey Harwood, the Sale Manager at Detroit Advantage, commented in response to internal processes: "As a company selling an investment property, we cannot contain the actions of a tenant further down the line. What we can do is use the full force of the law with a tenant who is not paying their rent, to rapidly remove them and replace with a new tenant."
In dealing with complaints, the company works with the client to discover the reason for the complaint and adhere to a policy that is acceptable. If it is a management issue, the company offers them an alternative management company for ongoing management of the property. If the issue relates to refurbishment, the company would have independent contractors visit the property to report what is required for the property to be to be performing properly and present a resolution to the client. Mr. Harwood stated, "We follow through until the client is happy, as two things can go wrong in this process. Either the tenant does not pay their rent (in which case the management company evicts them), or the tenant leaves a property unhappy with the damage. That's the reality, and sometimes it is damage beyond the holding deposit the client put down. The client may feel annoyed, but unfortunately we are not responsible in that instance."
The company described an instance where a client was not satisfied with their level of service because the tenant was not paying their rent. The client believed it was due to the ineffectiveness of the management company. Detroit Advantage stepped in and advised the client on a list of alternative management companies. Once a new management company was selected by the client, Detroit Advantage assisted in ensuring all the keys were transferred from one management company to the other to save the client from having to travel to that city. Additionally, Detroit Advantage assisted in the full eviction. Casey Harwood explained, "Once a tenant was evicted, we used our contractor to carry out remedial repairs to that property. Then we got the property up and running and tenanted again with the help of a new management company."
Detroit Advantage states that they work to fully engage with the client to do whatever it takes to make things right with them and avoid complaints. They try to set realistic time scales with the client and ensure that everything is carried out. Additionally, they work to get multiple quotations for required work at the lowest prices possible for their clients. Mr. Harwood notes, "We take complaints extremely seriously and we always want to reach an amicable solution for that client. We believe that the Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Programs assist us to be able to identify clients that are unhappy and to rapidly resolve their issues." Furthermore, the company ensures that if there is a complaint, it is logged with their investor relations member who makes full note of the concerns to discover an ideal resolution for the client and assist to achieve their goal. Mr. Harwood went on to state, "We work to prevent other complaints by thoroughly researching alternative property management companies. We have increased the background checks for tenants before being placed in the property."
----------------- Ripoff Reports discussions with Detroit Advantage has shown that they committed to ensuring clients achieve their investment objectives. As with anything property related, issues can occur, and what matters is an open dialogue with clients to ensure that the correct resolution is reached. Denise Lambert, told us that "We aim to respond to all emails and calls within a 48 hour period but sometimes where this is not possible, but we will always ensure clients are updated. ". Staff aim to answer as many questions as possible each day and this often means working late each day. "We will always do our very best to answer your questions and put your minds at ease."

Too bad to hear a similar story! My friend purchased 2 properties from sales Gareth Street of Experience International at September 2012 ( now they formed USA Advantage to separate with EI or Detroit Advantage Sales and Management LLC, Cheyenne, WY 82001, Limited Liability Company - Domestic, 2012-000629864.) Now all properties need repair and no tenants and rent received as promised when purchased few months ago! Their related management company and the company coordinator Denise Lambert is a mess.

Was investing in Detroit. The city is in social and economic collapse. Any investments there are a gamble to say the least. Properties are being burned to the ground everyday. Why is it that so many people buying these cheap properties are from overseas? Put your money elsewhere.

Saving the Forsaken
Pearl M. Oliner
If this book had carried an epigraph, it might have been "A little religion is a dangerous thing." For one of the striking conclusions of this sociological study of altruistic behavior among non-Jewish Europeans toward Jews during the Holocaust is that the mildly religious, not the very religious or the adamantly irreligious, were least likely to show it. The author, Pearl Oliner, heads (with her husband Sam) the Altruistic Personality and Prosocial Behavior Institute at Humboldt State University. Saving the Forsaken is based on the Oliners' interviews with several hundred elderly Europeans in the 1980s. The subjects were asked to reflect on their activities during what Germans today call the Nazi-time.
The Oliners' 1988 book, The Altruistic Personality: Rescuers of Jews in Nazi Europe, was based on the same data. It drew the praise of David Gushee, a moral theologian at Union University and the author of The Righteous Gentiles of the Holocaust: A Christian Interpretation (1994). Gushee called their book "the largest rescuer study to date," and drew on it heavily for his own book.
The Oliners' interviewees included Catholics and Protestants, the religious and irreligious, rescuers of Jews and bystanders. They located most of their interviewees through Yad Vashem, the Israeli memorial to Holocaust victims that verifies, documents, and honors rescue activity. Saving the Forsaken, solely the work of Pearl...

I have a build process that runs on Linux and UNIX hosts. It's script -based, and at the end of the process I'd like to run an EXE file (that can run on Windows only... yes I know it's quite weird but this is the requirement I got). This EXE should be ran on a specific Windows machine.
My question is: Is there any utility or a technique that can send a command-line from the Linux side to the Windows side and launch it locally on the Windows side?
It may sound like psexec. I know it can run from Windows to Linux, but do you know a similar utility that supports the opposite way?

Summary: Purpose: To determine the prevalence of heart rate changes and ECG abnormalities during epileptic seizures and to determine the timing of heart rate changes compared to the first electrographic and clinical signs. To assess the risk factors for the occurrence of ECG abnormalities.
Methods: We analyzed retrospectively 281 seizures in 81 patients with intractable epilepsy who had prolonged video-EEG and two-channel ECG. The nature and timing of heart rate changes compared to the electrographic and clinical seizure onset was determined. The ictal period (including one minute preictally and three minutes postictally) was analyzed for cardiac arrhythmias, conduction and repolarization abnormalities. Risk factors for cardiac abnormalities were investigated using parametric and non-parametric statistics.
Results: There was an increase in heart rate of at least 10 beats/minute in 73% of seizures (93% of patients) and this occurred most often around seizure onset. In 23% of seizures (49% of patients) the rate increase preceded both the electrographic and the clinical onset. ECG abnormalities were found in 26% of seizures (44% of patients). One patient had an asystole for 30 seconds. Long seizure duration increased the occurrence of ECG abnormalities. No other risk factor was found.
Conclusions: Heart rate changes occur frequently and occur around the time or even before the earliest electrographic or clinical change. The change can clarify the timing of seizure onset and the specific rate pattern may be useful for seizure diagnosis and for automatic seizure detection. ECG abnormalities occur often and repeatedly in several seizures of the same patient.

How to Succeed In Art
By Deborah Solomon
Published: June 27, 1999
Chris Burden began his career with a literal bang. His ''Shooting Piece'' required a friend to fire a bullet into his left arm from a distance of 15 feet. Perhaps that's why, when we recently met at the University of California at Los Angeles, I found it hard to imagine him patiently sitting through faculty meetings. Time does strange things. You wait long enough and even the most outrageous rebels end up grading papers and sharing career tips with students.
Back in the 1970's, Burden was a legendary wild man, a conceptual artist who bled for his work -- he spent five days jammed into a small metal locker, rolled on broken glass and crucified himself on the roof of a Volkswagen, with nails driven through his palms. But that was then. Now he's 53, a tenured professor of art, with an annual salary of $102,000 and a package of benefits provided by the state of California. ''People think collectors support artists,'' he tells me. ''But it's universities that support artists.''
It was a shining afternoon, and the air was fragrant with the scent of eucalyptus trees. Burden is a heavyset man with a fringe of brown bangs, and he was dressed haphazardly in an orange button-down shirt and beige shorts. As we strolled the U.C.L.A. campus, students waved hello. A skinny art student paused to tell him that she had just been interviewed by a local news program about campus crime. ''Did you get the tape?'' Burden asked. ''Get the tape from the TV station. Use it in your work!''
When, I wondered, did cutting-edge art become a lesson you learn at school? Young artists today have something in common with doctors and lawyers: they need to be academically certified. A Master of Fine Arts degree has become an essential credential. Or so one might think, judging from the success of graduate art departments, where applications are at a record high.The proverbial romantic artist, struggling alone in a studio and trying to make sense of lived experience, has given way to an alternate model: the university artist, who treats art as a homework assignment.
This spring, some 2,000 aspiring Rembrandts received Master of Fine Arts degrees, an estimate based on figures from the National Center for Education Statistics, in Washington. That figure does not include students of commercial art and design, who will receive another 500 M.F.A. degrees, nor students of creative writing, filmmaking, acting, music and dance. There's no official tally of students enrolled in M.F.A. programs, but in 1996, the most recent year for which statistics are available from the U.S. Department of Education, more master's degrees were conferred in the visual and performing arts -- a total of 10,280 degrees -- than in English (8,000), biology (6,000) or math (4,000).
Does this mean that we're in the midst of a cultural flowering, a bright new renaissance? Hardly. In the visual arts, at least, the M.F.A. boom has not been accompanied by a growth in the amount of first-rate art being created in this country. In fact many critics feel that art schools are directly responsible for a decline in the quality of art. ''When I go to the New York galleries, all I see is art-school art,'' says Barbara Rose, the art historian. ''The art is either feminist or deconstructionist, and basically it looks like homework, because what is homework but learning how to follow the teacher's rules?''
In truth, it has been three decades since contemporary art acquired the look of the seminar room. While art schools have flourished since the 16th century, it was only in the 1960's that they became lodged in universities -- and critical theory was elevated above craftsmanship. Whereas once students attended life classes and learned skills by drawing from a model (''We will begin by drawing, we will go on drawing and then we will continue to draw,'' Ingres famously instructed his charges), today they sit in paint-free classrooms devising strategies for subverting the patriarchal order. In their studios, they diligently fabricate cutting-edge art: videos, performances and room-size ''installations'' intended as an exercise in cultural critique.
Oddly enough, the academic vogue for French post-structuralism has turned out to be an efficient recipe for American-style success. ''Do you know anyone who has three or four years to spend on a work of art these days?'' asks Peter Plagens, the art critic for Newsweek and a painter himself. ''The schools have taught a generation of artists how to make art without laboring in their studios. It's all about intellectual strategy. You just assemble found objects into an installation, say the word 'gender' and you're done.''
Like the creative writing programs that became ensconced in universities in the 70's and spawned a generation of ''workshop'' novelists, the fine-art schools have fostered their own conceptually driven style. Its invasion of the art world has been abetted by the commercial galleries, where an obsession with novelty and art-as-investment makes every recent graduate a potentially hot property. Many of the students at U.C.L.A. have already exhibited their work in New York or Los Angeles, and it is not unusual to find dealers trolling the school's halls in search of the next 20-something sensation.

The parking garage is great. Plenty of light and I was able to park on my level, the tenth floor meaning i did not have to use the elevator a lot with luggage.

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Scientists from Shenzhen University Health Science Center's Nephrology and Urology Center will work in collaboration with teams from AstraZeneca's Innovation Center China in Shanghai to undertake preclinical research focused on chronic kidney disease (CKD), specifically diabetic nephropathy.
"This collaboration signifies an expansion into an important new disease area for AstraZeneca's drug discovery efforts here in China," said Steve Yang, vice president and head of the company's Asia and Emerging Markets Innovative Medicines Unit. "Last year, we delivered the first AstraZeneca preclinical candidate drug to be discovered by our scientists in China, in the area of oncology. And now, in addition to our ongoing research efforts in oncology, we are also putting our talented scientists to work in chronic kidney disease – another area of unmet medical need. This demonstrates our commitment to R&D in China through both internal capability building and external partnerships."
This partnership builds on AstraZeneca's up to $815 million deal with Fibrogen announced in July last year to develop and commercialize FG-4592, a first-in-class oral compound in late stage development for the treatment of with CKD and end-stage renal disease in key markets around the world, including China.
"I look forward to the opportunity of joining our partner in looking at exciting new science that will benefit patients," commented Xiaolin Zhang, head of AstraZeneca's Innovation Center China. "We also see this program not just as an opportunity to help us discover new treatments but also a unique possibility for joint talent development."
According to Zhang, the partners are also evaluating the establishment of a joint post doctorate program with the goal of enhancing scientific leadership and strengthening interactions between the industry and academia.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

Optimal shape design as a material distribution problem

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Shape optimization in a general setting requires the determination of the optimal spatial material distribution for given loads and boundary conditions. Every point in space is thus a material point or a void and the optimization problem is a discrete variable one. This paper describes various ways of removing this discrete nature of the problem by the introduction of a density function that is a continuous design variable. Domains of high density then define the shape of the mechanical element. For intermediate densities, material parameters given by an artificial material law can be used. Alternatively, the density can arise naturally through the introduction of periodically distributed, microscopic voids, so that effective material parameters for intermediate density values can be computed through homogenization. Several examples in two-dimensional elasticity illustrate that these methods allow a determination of the topology of a mechanical element, as required for a boundary variations shape optimization technique.

Differences in the Perceived Quality of Loudspeaker Sound Reproduction Caused by Loudspeaker-Room-Listener Interactions
The paper reports the results of investigations aiming at a quantitative description of the influence the loudspeaker-room-listener interactions have on the perceived quality of the reproduced sound. It is shown that the loudspeaker-room interactions are very decisive for the perceived quality. Furthermore, it is shown how possible influences, from the loudspeaker/room-listener interactions on the perceived sound quality, can be investigated by properly designed listening tests.

State and local law enforcement will be placing all available personnel on the road looking for impaired drivers.
The Florida Highway Patrol will be out in force this New Year's eve. Law enforcement is expecting to see a large contingent of Wiregrass residents heading to the Gulf Coast.
Pier Park will hold a Time Square style beach ball drop and several of the Panama City Beach super clubs will hold large celebrations.
"We ask everyone to obey traffic laws, and really all Florida laws. If you obey the laws then you won't have a problem and you'll have a great time. But if not, you have to answer to us," says Chief William Watford of Cottondale Police Department.
In Florida, a first time D.U.I. arrest carries fines and legal expenses of more than $200.

I'm really enjoying the new Media Library and basically all the new changes to the Media part of WordPress :).
What is hampering my workflow, however, is how my cursors moves around after I've added Media. When I upload an image, I like to go and change the Title, Captions, Description etc. as it's uploading. It's made easier by all these fields being placed to the right of the new Media Manager, but what's annoying is that after the image is uploaded, the focus automatically jumps to the URL of 'Link To' (even when I'm typing to 'Caption'). Right now, whenever that happens, I have to click back on the field I was editing to finish off.
I'm not exactly sure if this can be classified as a 'bug' (certainly, no features are breaking because of this) but are there any ways to prevent this from happening?

Theological Book Review <!--end-->
"The interpretative material is especially rich, in both quantity and significance … This is a mine of information which should both delight and inspire."
Journal for the Study of the Old Testament
"On the history of reception, there is no equal to this fine book. A feast for historians of Western culture!"
International Review of Biblical Studies
"Preachers will enjoy using Exodus through the Centuries by Scott M. Langston, in which the author shows the varying ways in which this key book has been understood, not least by liberation movements down the centuries. Truly a commentary with a difference, offering much illustrative material." Ministry Today
"It is almost impossible to convey the breadth of the scope of this book … A very well researched and interesting book, containing an extensive bibliography, useful biographies and glossary and name and subject indexes. The main strength of this book is the author's ability to engage with a diversity of sources, traditions and artistic expressions and examine a variety of theological and secular interpretations of the Exodus story with a consistent academic rigour. This book is recommended for all serious students of scripture." Journal of Beliefs & Values
"Langston's book, and the entire Blackwell series, offers a compact and focussed entrance into sources for the interpretation and reception of the Bible."
Peter D Miscall, Denver, Colorado
"There is much to reflect upon from this presentation of the 'reception history' of Exodus across the ages and Scott Langston is to be thanked for his labours."
Ernest Nicholson, Oxford
"Langston has offered an accessibility to the book of Exodus that opens the imagination … Biblical scholars interested in sociology and anthropology should certainly read this book."
Benjamin Bury, University of Birmingham
"Presents a colorful tapestry … illustrating multiple interpretations … and the sheer creativity of recontextualization … .Langston fills a gap."

And report his gun nut sovereign citizens weirdos to the FBI and Southern Poverty Law Center. Name names, folks, and report 'em. They are domestic terrorists.
Who are you referring to when you say "gun nut sovereign citizens" and "domestic terrorists" Anyone who owns a gun? If you are referring to Alex Jones that guy is a goon but i would not go as far as to say domestic terrorist.
Seriously ?!?!?! Yet you, Bice, get your "news" and quote from radical rags such as "Slate" and appear on lunatic networks as MSNBC....WOW.....
The Sheriff is correct, as usual Bice, and we know how liberals react to being always proven to be wrong...
Clarke is a wacko, imho.
Scary isn't it. But is he right about anything in his beliefs? Maybe. You have national media in league with a National Political Party steamrollering it's agenda. Shades of the 1930's. Yeah, right: It can't happen here. But it did in a highly civilized, highly respected country not long ago. We have "Leaders" telling us what to think, and "Journalists" doing their bidding. Remember, the same citizens that turned a blind eye to the events of the 1930's were the same ones that said: "We didn't know..."Hide replies
Paranoia will destroy ya.
Wow, amilwman.
Simply wow.
I wonder
When will the newspaper do an article how our Presidents "all of the above" energy policy is helping out the working class by keeping energy costs low?
Federal law overrides state and local laws, and if Clarke decides not to enforce parts of the law he doesn't agree with, he'll be replaced by someone who will.Hide replies
The sooner the better.
He was talking about a hypothetical executive order instructing him to sieze weapons.
He was not talking about a law that was passed through proper legislative procedure. I would hope no such law would ever see the light of day, but I don't trust liberals that far.
The question is Mark, would you support such an executive order? It would clearly be unconstitutional. Would you support it anyway?
If an executive order is needed to uphold a law that passes Supreme Court muster, then yes. There were men in the South who swore never to allow their schools to be integrated, but when President Eisenhower federalized the National Guard to enforce it, they backed down.
"...said he has been asked in recent weeks by a number of media outlets to discuss his 30-second radio spot encouraging local residents to arm themselves because of drastic cuts in law enforcement. He said he has not sought the publicity."
So we have a county sheriff who didn't foresee any publicity coming from his 30-second commercial encouraging local residents to arm themselves. What a total lack of judgment.
Clarke = Joke............not a funny one either
Mileaukee county you've got to be SO proud!Hide replies

A year and a half ago, Microsoft released the source code for the .Net Framework BCL for debugging purposes. This incredibly useful offering has had a tremendous impact on my debugging experience.
It was mentioned that they were working integrating the source release into their build process, but this appears to have fallen through.
The latest releases of the .Net Framework assemblies (including patches and hotfixes) do not have source available at all.
What can we do to convince Microsoft to maintain this excellent offering, especially for the upcoming release of .Net 4.0?

Simple idea. Beautiful execution.
One of the best art direction from last weeks!
Congrats guys!
I guess if DHL delivers you the camera on time for your trip, they actually delivered you the memory and the pictures you've taken.
so it does make completely sence.
they delivered the last piece to make the experience complete (photgrapher) or to acutally start the experience (diving).
it looks good and does make the point. but it's nothing fresh. too many things have been done using the box analogy for DHL.

Bruce Johnstone returns Saturday at Romolo series
When I called saxophonist Bruce Johnstone during last week's heat wave, he told me that his office at State University of New York at Fredonia was not air-conditioned.
"I keep a ladle in here so I can baste myself."
It was a neat bit of self-deprecation from Johnstone, who has generated heat of his own on bandstands in his native New Zealand, Denmark, New York City and, lately, in our area.
There was a time when Johnstone's alto and baritone saxophones were a steady presence locally. That has diminished lately, which makes his return on the piazza at the Romolo Chocolates Summer Music Series on Saturday a welcome event.
Jazz fans may recall how Johnstone's arrival in Chautauqua County enlivened the local scene. A veteran of the big bands of Maynard Ferguson and Woody Herman, Johnstone created performance opportunities and set a high standard to which local players aspired.
These days, his academic career is a larger priority.
"It's all part of the progression of what we do as musicians," he said of his move into teaching. "I've really enjoyed watching my kids go to places like Berklee and the Manhattan School of Music.
"I'm at the point now," he added, "where I've outlived many of my heroes."
Johnstone has also played with some of his heroes, including Ben Webster and Dexter Gordon, two colossal tenor saxophonists in jazz history.
"The things I learned being onstage with Dexter and Ben, you couldn't put a price on that. You take from them what you can, and customize them for your own stylistic ends."
Johnstone will be joined by Brooklyn-based trumpeter Tim Clarke, bassist Tony Grey, guitarist Frank Singer and Brad Amidon, a versatile and exceptionally musical drummer.
I asked Johnstone for a piece of performance advice he gives to his students.
"You don't have to amaze everybody all the time," he said. "Maynard used to say, 'You can only amaze people once, and then what are you going do?'"
In Johnstone's case the answer is simple: Keep amazing them.

Most Helpful
Very good. I used a little less fresh rosemary and a little less roasted garlic than called for. Also, I used red potatoes and didn't peel them. Even with these changes the mashed potatoes were a hit!
Very yummy! Roasting the garlic really gives these tremendous flavour. I didn't have yukons either, and had to rub my garlic with canola oil as I was out of olive. They were delicious, and I will certainly be making them again. Thanks RecipeNut!
This was delicious! It made a wonderful side dish. I used Idaho potatoes, but will use yukon next time! Thanks Recipenut!

MONTGOMERY, Ala. ---- Auburn Montgomery junior Jade Curtis was named the Southern States Athletic Conference Women's Tennis Player of the Week today after helping AUM cruise to a 9-0 victory over No. 15 Lee last Tuesday.
Playing at No. 1 singles, Curtis defeated Tonya Walters 6-0, 6-2 to extend her singles winning streak to 43-straight matches. She also partnered with Morgane Zowczak to win 8-2 from the No. 1 doubles position, picking up her 46th-straight doubles victory. Curtis and Zowczak have dropped just five games in their four matches playing together this year.
The Saltash, England, native is the only member of the top-ranked Warhawks who has yet to drop a match in 2013, going 8-0 in singles and doubles. The Intercollegiate Tennis Association ranked Curtis as the No. 5 singles player in the NAIA in its preseason rankings, while her and Zowczak are rated as the No. 3 doubles pair.
The SSAC selects a Women's Tennis Player of the Week each Monday during the regular season. Curtis received the award for the third time in her two-plus years at AUM.
AUM is 3-1 to start the season, with the only defeat coming at the West Florida (currently ranked ninth in NCAA Division II). The Warhawks return to the court this Friday at William Carey. The Crusaders are currently 2-3, though they are ranked seventh in the NAIA Top 25 poll.

Belarus Must Accept Structural Change for New Aid, IMF Says
Belarus must agree to structural changes in its economy before receiving additional aid from international lenders as the nation struggles to meet its financing needs, the International Monetary Fund said.
Belarus should let the exchange rate float and boost interest rates to slow the expansion of credit, said Chris Jarvis, head of the IMF mission in Belarus. Any new program would be for at least three years, compared with the 15-month, $3.5 billion loan Belarus received in 2009, he said, adding that there have been no "substantive discussions" on the amount.
"The Belarusian economic crisis is serious, but there is a way out," Jarvis told reporters in Minsk, the capital. "The main thing that is necessary is agreement on a strong program that is sufficient to fix the problems Belarus faces. We would also have to be sure that all actors -- the president, government and national bank -- are committed to that program."
Belarus said June 4 it was seeking a new bailout from the IMF to help cover a current-account deficit that reached 16 percent of gross domestic product last year. The government devalued its currency by 36 percent against the dollar on May 23 after the world's highest benchmark interest rate failed to stem the ruble's plunge. The central bank raised the benchmark rate by 2 percentage points to 16 percent on May 30.
The government believes that it is entitled to additional aid from the Washington-based IMF, Prime Minister Mikhail Myasnikovich said in a statement after the news conference.
'Right' to Aid
"We, as legal IMF members, have the right for the specific support in difficult times," Myasnikovich told Jarvis, according to the statement posted on the government's website.
Belarus's appeal for financial assistance may be complicated by Belarusian Alexander Lukashenko's clampdown on the opposition and his reluctance to transform the state-managed economy to a market-driven one.
Lukashenko, dubbed Europe's last dictator by the administration of former U.S. President George W. Bush, imprisoned opposition presidential candidates after last year's election, prompting sanctions from the U.S. and European Union. The government last week fined five demonstrators after a protest against high fuel prices.
Moody's Investors Service rates the country's sovereign debt B2, five steps below investment grade and on par with Honduras and Venezuela. Belarus's sovereign bond due 2015 rose to 92.533 as of 4:49 p.m. in Minsk, pushing the yield down 20 basis points to 11.04 percent.
Inflation Concern
Belarus should hold government salaries flat this year because higher wages will spur inflation and drive the ruble lower, Jarvis said. Allowing the markets to set the exchange rate will also result in lower real wages, he said.
"But people are already experiencing lower wages and uncertainty," he said. "The foreign exchange market is not working. Very few people are willing to sell foreign exchange, and many more who want to buy it have to pay much more."
The primary goal of the current IMF mission is to assess the government's economic policies, Jarvis said.
While Belarus has done a "good job" in controlling the budget deficit and limiting credit, the government and central bank "could do more," he said.
"I think that Belarus does have capacity to pay its debts," Jarvis said. "The government and national bank assured us they can do so, and there are good objective reasons to believe they will do so."
Russia-Led Funding
Russia and Belarus's other former Soviet partners in the Eurasian Economic Community agreed June 4 to provide the nation with a $3 billion "anti-crisis" loan for 10 years. Belarus's government said June 9 it got an additional $1 billion bailout from an unidentified donor, which will arrive "shortly."
Belarus expects to receive the first $800 million of funds from its former Soviet partners in the middle of this month, the Finance Ministry said June 9. A second tranche of $440 million may be distributed by the end of the year, Russian Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin said June 4.
The loan came with conditions. Belarus agreed to sell $7.5 billion of state assets to help boost capital inflows, a move formerly criticized by Lukashenko.
The Russian-led Eurasian Economic Community's other members are Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
