AbstractNovaSol is pleased to present a program to improve the utility and performance of existing and future hyperspectral reconnaissance sensors. The development of approach to signature-matched hyperspectral change detection will address the Air Force's specific interest in lowering false alarm rates while maintaining or increasing probability of detection. NovaSol's novel approach improves the existing state of the art in hyperspectral matched-filter change detection by directly targeting shortcomings in current covariance-based methods that have been identified by the military and research community. Use of simple data conditioning steps and a spectral distance based matched filter detection metric make our algorithm computationally efficient and amenable to implementation in low power and weight parallel processing hardware. In addition, by employing object-based change detection, the proposed algorithm will offer greater tolerance to image misregistration than currently deployed pixel-level subtraction schemes.

Catsimatidis Can't Believe His Mayoral Run Is Over
He's officially out, but not down.
John Catsimatidis officially left the mayoral race on Friday, after Republicans pressured him not to stay in as an independent following his primary loss. But he has plenty more to say, some of which he got off his chest in a rambling e-mail to supporters on Sunday. Catsimatidis raised some questions about the vote count, suggesting he might still pull off a win once all the absentee ballots are tallied. He was particularly perplexed by his loss in Manhattan: "Manhattan I Found Strange that we only received 3000 votes out of 11,300 cast … Very Strange." He also claimed to be the victim of foul play: "There were so many Dirty Tricks ..were tens of Thousands of ROBO Calls were made to New Yorkers saying it was our Campaign annoying Voters against us." But the Cat Man isn't one to get discouraged. "This is NOT GOODBYE but SEE YOU LATER," he wrote. Can't wait!

Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF began in 1950 as a way to help kids who need more than candy. Since then, children all over America have gone door-to-door on Halloween with UNICEF collection boxes, calling out, "Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF!" They have raised more than $175 million for the U.S. Fund for UNICEF since 1950.
A nice idea—Halloween could be about more than just candy. A chance encounter—Mary Emma Allison follows a parade to a UNICEF booth in 1949. It was a perfect fit, and Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF was born. Learn how Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF became one of America's most successful youth initiatives.
By Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF, you can be a superhero for millions of children in need this Halloween. These kids are just like you, except many of them live in countries where poverty or war or natural disaster make it difficult to get even the basics to survive.

Vt. revenues up in AprilMay 11,2013MONTPELIER Vermont Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding said revenues were up in all three of the states main sources of income last month, including the highest general fund revenues ever for April.
Spaulding said its not a time for irrational exuberance because a good deal of the increase in general fund revenue seems to be due to one-time decisions made by taxpayers in December.
Still, general fund revenues were 14.2 percent above projections. The year-to-date projection is almost 2.5 percent ahead of forecasts.
The transportation fund in April exceeded expectations by 3.85 percent. For the year the transportation fund is 1 percent below target.
The non-property tax education fund revenues were almost three-tenths of 1 percent above forecasts. The education fund is also about 1 percent below expectations for the year.MORE IN This Just In

I bought this after being a loyal argan oil user for several years. I like this almond oil better than the argan oils I've tried because it's lighter but still moisturizing, but I don't think this is moisturizing enough for cold winter weather. Right now I'm using 4% hydroquinone at night and it makes my skin so flaky and dry. If I layer some almond oil over it I wake up to decently moisturized skin. It also wears well under makeup. Love that this is nearly scent-free. Don't like the weird drip opening because it only gives you one drop at a time, so I removed it. At ~$20 this is reasonably priced and I'd consider repurchasing in the future!

I'm not sure exactly why I like this product as much as I do. It's not a miracle worker or anything, but it just seems to give me a nicer experience than other comparable products and it always fits the bill. I have very dry, very sensitive eczema-prone skin and that also means that moisturizing sometimes physically hurts - unless I use oil as a first layer. I put a few drops of this oil underneath my normal facial moisturizer and it sinks in right away, and I feel soothed and protected. Then I apply cream and/or makeup on top. I've tried putting other, plain oils on my face but I've never liked the feel of it, even though I love coconut oil for my body and always have a giant jar of it around - on my face it just feels like it's sitting on top of my skin and producing a weird texture. This is silkier to use on your face, and the smell is very, very mild and pleasant. It's a little pricey, but the bottle lasts a really long time and it's more affordable than a lot of other high end facial oils, and also more versatile. I just bought my second bottle because I noticed my first getting low and I don't want to find myself without it during the winter!

Just started using this. I have rosacea with hormonal acne issues with combination skin. I only used it on my forehead so far as I'm scared to use it on my super sensitive cheeks. Will update when I get the courage.

This winter has taken a toll on my skin, giving me an awful dermatitis (visit to dermatologist for a script required). Bought this soothing almond oil after reading reviews. Here's my experience.
Alone, it didn't fix the dermatitis (but was worth the try).
With the script medication, it definitely soothes. I like to add a few drops to my beloved Nivea cream, mix them together, and presto! super-rich night cream. Because the script is an ointment, I can use this oil alone as daytime moisture under Bioderm Photoderm SPF50.
I can see using this product in the future, either alone for light facial moisture, or with Nivea for a rich night cream.
I love the packaging: blue glass for light protection, and a special cap that allows drops to shake out. About $24 full price; I found it on sale somewhere for about $17.
Verdict: If you have dry skin, give this a try, either alone or under a moisturizer. You use just a few drops, so it's cost-effective. Has no discernable scent.

I really LOVE this product!
I apply it after washing my face while my face is still damp, just 6 or 7 drops is all you need and it gives your skin a dewy supple look!
I use it in the morning and again at night and the improvement in my skin is really phenomenal...it is moister, plumper and softer!

Am using this as a night oil before I go to bed I put it onto my damp combo skin. Working much better then many expensive night creams. My skin is hydrated and plumped in the morning and my open pores and blackheads are looking much healthier. Works much better than the granatapple night cream.
Absorbs well
Softens and the plumps the skin

I'd never thought an oil would help my sensitive, oily and congested skin so much. I apply this to damp skin morning and night, and it sinks right in to leave the must beautiful glow and seems to fade scars from old blemishes.
The first time I tried it my skin actually broke out and got pretty irritated, which scared me off the product for a while. But ever since it's given me wonderful results. I'm pretty sure it prevents new blemishes from forming and even the stubborn white heads on my jawline has vanished significantly. I've used it for one month now and it's been so calming through the extremely cold weather. The bottle will last a long time and for the price it's really a bargain. Love Weleda's natural ingredients and cute packaging too.

I'm pretty sure this is saving my skin at the moment! Since becoming pregnant I have suffered extremely painful dry skin on my face. I bought a bunch of Weleda products in the hope that I could finally moisturize my skin - some of them are better than others, with Skin Food and Almond Facial Oil being the real standouts. I pat this on morning and evening immediately after toning (DHC Mild Lotion) or spraying with Avene Spring Water to lock in moisture. I even put it on my T-zone - my skin really doesn't have any of its own oil right now and needs it!! This keeps my skin comfortable all day and night when layered with Skin Food. I am very happy with this light oil - it hasn't broken me out and it makes my moisturizer much more effective. It's saved my skin!!

Got this based off the reviews and because I like Weleda products. I like their packaging, philosophy, and minimal ingredients. I have combo skin which has recently turned drier. I did not find this super moisturizing as compared to jojoba oil which I have used for years. The two are about the same. A lot of people here said they use it as a eye makeup remover, but I did this twice and it gave me milia seeds! That has not happened with e. virgin olive oil, the jojoba oil, or vaseline. It really turned me off this product for awhile, but I've just used this on my regular face. It is a decent product, but for $25CAD for 50ml, I would not repurchase since I can find less expensive and just as good alternatives.

i love i guest i don't no everything
who ever made this animation is awesome!
lol i love how they made a simple crossover seem so techinal!!
Great job on da animations though :]
thanks that help me out a lot!!!!!!!!!!!
well do somethin
helped a lot
this was very helpful would have been better if there was somebody guarding the player
thx for help me
I've watched several coaching videos in my time and the coaching cue I like is "Slam it low, receive it low." Personally I like to take a jab step to get the defender moving in the direction I want him to "fall" toward, then slam it. Also, you should go "body to body" if you're wanting to attack the rim, not just the opposite direction unless you are wanting to do a pull up jumper.
That sure helped a lot.
i thought a cross over was under the leg but this helped too
Those are really good tips, thanks!
my crossover is deadly any1 can fall for it

Robin and MarianHD Closed Captioning
Richard Lester
Open iTunes to preview, buy, and download this movie.
About the Movie
Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn star as the legendary lovers Robin Hood and Maid Marion, who reunite twenty years after their first meeting. Now the mother superior of a nunnery, Marion finds herselfdrawn to a somewhat less agile Robin Hood when he returns from a lengthy Crusade in the Holy Lands.
Rotten Tomatoes Movie Reviews
- Reviews Counted: 29
- Fresh: 22
- Rotten: 7
- Average Rating: 6.6/10
Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The social satire gets precious at times, but Connery (sans hairpiece!) and Hepburn (swathed for the first hour in a nun's wimple) bring a fervid depth of feeling to their characters' rekindled courtship.
Fresh: Robin and Marian is a film that must stand or fall on the strength of its stars. Fortunately, it has two of the best."
Rotten: The idea of picking up the Robin Hood legend 20 years later seems okay at first consideration, but Goldman and Lester never got beyond the premise.
Fresh: Connery and Hepburn seem to have arrived at a tacit understanding between themselves about their characters. They glow. They really do seem in love. And they project as marvelously complex, fond, tender people.
Customer Reviews
Sean Connery is the classic Robin Hood, in this version a simplistic honorable man baflled by his times. Supporting cast is marvelous, but the real coup in casting is Robert Shaw as the Sheriff of Nottingham, played as Robin's equally noble counterpart. Note: The surprise ending will make you soar and cry at the same time!
An all time classic *****
Fantastic movie. Robin Hood, returns from the crusades and finds his old life lost in the past. Robert Shaw is fantastic as the Sheriff of Nottingham, and a great part of Richard the Lionheart played by Richard Harris. Audrey Hepburn and Nicol Williamson round out a stellar cast. Best ending to the movie.
High-water mark
Easily the most fascinating Robin Hood film ever, this one is a beguiling blend of legend, history and Romance. Given a brilliant script by James Goldman, a dream cast brings the Middle Ages to bloody, grimy, glowing life. Sean Connery gives his most open, assured, and amusing performance as Robin, and seems both incongruously and ideally paired with an incandescent Audrey Hepburn. John Barry provides the soaringly romantic score, director Richard Lester gives the proceedings his patented ironic nudge.

Former Manchester City and Arsenal striker Paul Dickov was appointed manager of newly-promoted Championship club Doncaster Rovers on Monday.
Rovers had been searching for a new boss since Brian Flynn returned to his post as the club's director of football just days after leading them to the League One title with a dramatic last-day victory at Brentford.
Dickov, who began his career at Arsenal and played for City from 1996 to 2002, had been out of work since resigning as manager of League One side Oldham in February.
The 40-year-old ex-Scotland international masterminded a famous FA Cup fourth round win over Liverpool this season, but quit with Oldham just above the relegation zone.
"After completing the interview process, the board were in agreement that Paul was the best person to put their plans into action," a statement on Doncaster's website confirmed.
"An 18 point criteria was set to identify the best possible candidate for the role. These criteria covered a whole range of aspects of the club in addition to the football."

Sparker Media was founded in 1999 by Sabadino Parker,[1] a lifelong resident of Connecticut who earned his Bachelor's at the University of Connecticut in 1999 and his Master of Arts in English at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn. Originally, Sparker Media was a sole proprietorship and rubric under which Parker used his education and work skills to provide freelance writing and editing services mostly through word-of-mouth and Internet-based advertising. Creating resumes, in particular, was a specialty of Sparker Media. As the Internet developed over the course of the following decade, Parker found he was engaging more and more in developing Web content geared toward marketing, including updated and new websites, blogs, and e-newsletters. In 2011, Sparker Media announced it was expanding its services to include online marketing strategies.
Sparker Media was the brainchild of Sabadino Parker, who was born and raised in New Britain, Connecticut. Born in 1976, Parker excelled at artistry and writing, leading him to join the municipality's Gifted and Talented Program and becoming president of the National Honor Society while attending New Britain High School.
His excellent grades afforded him a full scholarship to the University of Connecticut, which he attended from 1994 through 1999, graduating cum laude with a B.A. in English and a Certificate in Peace Studies in May 1999, after having been placed six times on the Dean's List and honored as a New England Scholar for 1997 and 1998.[2]
Shortly after graduation, Parker learned the intricacies of the publishing industry—specifically industry/legal/regulatory news—through his employment with Business & Legal Reports in Old Saybrook, Conn., first as a proofreader in 2000 and eventually as the managing editor of a series of environmental-law newsletters and state-specific booklets and special reports. In 2003 Parker accepted the APEX (Awards for Professional Excellence) in the category of Best Newsletter for the Environmental e-Lert[3]—his first venture and accolade in the field of e-mail marketing and news dissemination. It was also during this period that Parker became a regular contributor to PopMatters.com,[4] reviewing films, music, television programming, and graphic novels. In conjunction with this, Parker, under the umbrella of Sparker Media, became a weekly, syndicated DVD critic for a column titled "Getting Reel," which was published online and throughout various publications, most notably Connecticut's Shore Publishing, LLC's line of community newspapers.
It was also in this period, between 1999 and 2004, in which Parker published most of his creative works, most notably the poem "Smoke," which appeared in the Fairfield Review [5] and the Kafkaesque short story "Heater," which appeared in the Winter 2004 edition of The Harrow.[6]
In regard to Sparker Media, all of Parker's works were attributed to the company to demonstrate its credibility as a service excelling in writing and editing, while Sparker Media itself garnered a host of clients through such avenues as eLance, engaging in copy writing, editing, proofreading, and resume building—which quickly became a specialty of Sparker Media during the period's economic recession.
Throughout this period, Parker worked full-time as an editor, writer, and publishing manager, responsible for maintaining publishing schedules, relaying updates found in the Federal Register, and delegating customer inquiries, while taking night classes at Trinity College to earn his MA in English in 2007.
Since then, Sparker Media garnered additional clientele, varying in subject matter and formats, from ghostwriting self-help books for Connecticut-based Foghorn Publishing, developing marketing collateral and transcriptions for FactSet Research Systems, fact-checking material data sheets and maintaining inventory databases for Mettalizing Service Company,[7] performing journalist and photography duties for Connecticut's Rare Reminder, and serving as head writer and eventually editorial manager for Hartford-based Scene Magazine[8] (an online social media and entertainment publication).
Sparker Media has continuously operated since 1999. However, it was only announced recently that Sparker Media was expanding its services [9] to include online marketing in addition to providing Web content.
Through its affiliation with Website developers (who often needed a reliable source for textual content), such as MD Tech Team,[10] Sparker Media began to transition from providing merely grammatically and verbally superior content for its print and Web clients, but to also incorporate the marketing techniques valued by online marketing, such as phraseology conducive to SEO, the development and maintenance of scheduled blogs and e-newsletters, and the infiltration of its business clientele's brands on social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
Current Services[edit]
With nearly a dozen contracted freelance employees, Sparker Media is capable to specialize in the following:
- Editing
- Proofreading
- Copy Writing
- Ghostwriting
- Creative Writing Advice
- Academic Tutoring
- Marketing Copy
- Marketing Consultation and Management
- Resume and Cover Letter Development
- Press Releases
- Publishing Management / Advice
Future Plans[edit]
Upon expanding into the online marketing business, Sparker Media has announced it will develop an e-book detailing its approach to the creation of resumes and cover letters for those seeking employment. It will also be guiding Scene Magazine as it develops additional marketing collateral and a print version of its online publication.

New Aspects on Listening Room Design
A special reference listening room has been constructed for the Finnish Broadcasting Company. The room will be used for assessing the quality of music recordings and technical equipment, especially loudspeakers, by listening tests. A special feature of the room is its 8-cornered shape. A simple and efficient corner trap construction gives an excellent background surface for free standing loudspeakers. Loudspeakers flushmounted into the wall surface can also be used in the room.

"Athens, Greece" Athens by SWFC_Fan
Athens Travel Guide: 4,477 reviews and 10,692 photos
Athens is the capital city of Greece. It is a large metropolis covering over 150 square miles and is home to somewhere in the region of 5 million people.
How to get there?
Athens has good air connections to many major cities in Europe and all over the world. The newly built (within the last 5 years or so) Eleftheros Venizelou Airport handles flights operated by dozens of major airlines. I flew to Athens with Alitalia from Manchester (via Milan).
The airport is situated some distance from downtown Athens and the journey into the city can take up to 40 minutes (or more during rush hour traffic).
If you are arriving in Athens by sea you will most likely be arriving at Piraeus, the city?s main port, although you could arrive at Rafina or Lavrio. Again, getting into the city of Athens from Piraeus will involve a journey of around 30 minutes or more. Taxis, buses and the Metro system all transport passengers from Piraeus to the heart of the city.
Where do I begin? Athens is a huge city, packed with history and interesting sites, but is also a modern European capital.
The following is a brief summary of some of the things that I saw and experienced during my 5 days in the city in October 2005.
The Acropolis
You think of Athens, you think of the Acropolis. Well, I do anyway! And judging by the hordes of tourists there, I don?t think I?m alone. This was the first place that I headed when I arrived in the city. I often find that the most hyped tourist attractions in the world turn out to be a disappointment?but not in this case! After paying my 12 Euros entry fee, I set about taking photos of the Parthenon ? no matter how many photos I?d seen prior to my visit, nothing compares to seeing it in real life. From this vanatge point, I also appreciated for the first time just how large Athens is?sprawling suburbs can be seen in every direction stretching to the mountains and the sea. Even more impressive than seeing the Parthenon close up is seeing it lit up at night, standing above the city and looking more imposing than ever.
Other ruins in the city
While the Acropolis (and particularly the Parthenon) is undoubtedly Athens? most famous ruin, there are plenty more remnants of Athens? glorious past littered throughout the city. Just a few of the impressive ruins that I visited during my stay were the Odeon of Herodes Atticus (on the slopes of the Acropolis), the ancient agora (at the foot of the Acropolis), Hadrian?s Gate, the Temple of Zeus and the Panathaneic Stadium. Other ruins (many of which I?ll need to look up in a guidebook to identify) are scattered around, some incongruously set amongst busy shopping streets and residential areas.
Syntagma Square
Another of Athens? favourite tourist attractions is Syntagma Square. This is a large open square with benches, flower beds, fountains and cafes and seems to be a focal point for tourists and locals alike. Busy shopping streets branch out from all sides of the square and the Greek Parliament building lies at the top end of the square. Tourists flock to the Parliament building, especially during the changing of the guards, and are outnumbered only by the thousands of pigeons!
Plaka is a characteristic, old part of the city, located in the shadows of the Acropolis. If you?re staying in Athens, there is a good chance that you?ll be in a hotel in this area. If you?re visiting as part of a guided tour, there?s a good chance you?ll be shepherded around the souvenir shops and tavernas here after you?ve completed your visit to the Acropolis. For me, this is the most atmospheric, traditional part of the city, especially after dark when traditional Greek music can be heard in the tavernas, the brightly lit Parthenon can be seen overhead, and the daytrippers have got back on their tour buses, leaving the streets a lot less crowded.
As well as being a key transport hub (there is a train and metro station here), Monastiraki Square is also a hive of activity, with street sellers manning their stalls, tourists and locals mingling in the cafes and tavernas and all manner of goods for sale in the adjoining flea market. Along with Plaka, this for me is one of the most atmospheric places in the city and a great place to sit and watch the people and the activity all around you.
Hills and mountains
When in Athens, the best views can be had by climbing one of the many hills and mountains. With many of the roads clogged with traffic and many of the streets and tourist attractions clogged with tourists, climbing a hill is also a great place to get a bit of peace and quiet! I personally enjoyed climbing up the Hill of Muses (from where there is an unbeatable view of the Parthenon) and sitting on a rock overlooking the city?with the noisy traffic just a distant buzz. I?d also recommend climbing Mount Lycavittos for outstanding views over the whole of Athens ? if you didn?t already know how big Athens is, you?ll soon realise when you get up there!
A few observations from my 5 days in Athens:
The traffic in Athens is horrendous. I?ve experienced heavy traffic in other major cities (London, Brussels, Dubai?), but nowhere compares to Athens! Don?t assume that you?re safe just because you?re walking on the pavements ? moped riders, frustrated at the standing traffic, will seize any opportunity to ride at full speed along the pavement to jump the queue. Don?t ever assume that you have right of way ? you don?t! Pedestrian crossings are merely for show! The consequent pollution from all these vehicles is also a major negative point, and I returned home with a throat infection (although this was not necessarily caused by the traffic fumes). Don?t let the traffic and fumes spoil this great city, but beware of mopeds from every angle!
Stray dogs
Another of Athens? less appealing traits is the presence of numerous stray dogs wandering the city, especially if, like me, you?re not a dog-lover. To be fair, the problem isn?t as widespread as I?d been led to believe and the vast majority of dogs seemed happy to sleep in the sun (attacking people would have been far too much effort!). However, on a couple of occasions I turned into quiet side streets, saw groups of dogs ahead and decided to take a different route. It?s unlikely that you?d be bitten or scratched by a stray dog (and extremely unlikely that this would lead to rabies), but if you don?t like dogs just be aware that you may encounter them in the street. As with the traffic, don?t let this spoil your stay in the city.
Scams and dodgy people
As in any major city (especially one with so many tourists), there?s a good chance that you?ll run into somebody who will try to rip you off. This may be somebody selling counterfeit watches or somebody trying to exchange fake bank notes. The common scam in Athens seems to be targetted at single men walking around the Syntagma Square area after dark. On a couple of occasions I was approached by middle-aged gentlemen (who would approach me on the pretence of wanting to know the time) and invited to go to their pub for ?just one beer my friend?. I didn?t know the exact details of the scam but it was clearly dodgy and I politely brushed aside their invites. I?ve since read the nature of the scam on VT: these guys basically lure you to ?their? pub and buy you a drink; the barmaids are pretty and friendly and you start to relax. Another round of drinks is ordered, maybe a few bottles of champagne. People start to leave and you?re suddenly left alone with a huge bar tab to pick up. If you don?t fancy paying up, the heavies on the door may ?encourage? you to do so! Just be on your guard ? if something seems suspicious it probably is!
- Pros:Great history, loads to see and do, thriving city
- Cons:Traffic, pollution, stray dogs - but don't let that put you off!
- In a nutshell:One of THE great cities of the World!

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Abbott is teaming up with Danish firm EpiTherapeutics to develop small molecule inhibitors targeting epigenetic cancer targets. The three-year research collaboration will be carried out at both firms and exploit EpiTherapeutics' expertise in the epigenetics field.
EpiTherapeutics is leveraging epigenetics expertise developed by researchers at the Biotech Research & Innovation Centre (BRIC) at University of Copenhagen. The firm is building its IP platform in the field of histone demethylases and methyltransferases and is working to expand its in-house pipeline of small molecule inhibitors of key enzymes.
EpiTherapeutics is also looking to leverage its capabilities through collaborations with the industry. In mid-December the firm announced that Merck Serono Ventures (MSV) had joined the firm's existing seed investor syndicate. The additional investment has taken total funding in EpiTherapeutics to DKK51.5 million ($9.1 million) since it was founded in October 2008. Existing investors include Lundbeckfond Ventures, Novo Seeds, SEED Capital and OSI Pharmaceuticals.

Malaysian Elections Draw Hong Leong Asset to Consumer Stocks
Hong Leong Asset Management Bhd. is favoring shares of Malaysian consumer-staple and health-care companies over stocks that may be directly affected by the outcome of elections due by early next year.
Investors should avoid financial, construction and property companies that depend on government projects and spending, according to Chief Executive Officer Geoffrey Ng, whose Kuala Lumpur-based firm held about $1.5 billion as of July 6. Hong Leong Asset's consumer-products and balanced funds have beaten at least 90 percent of peers in the past three years.
"Our medium-term strategy in the run-up to the general election is to be cautiously optimistic on the market, only taking positions in apolitical stocks," Ng wrote in a July 6 e-mail. "We suggest exposures to defensive sectors that are politically agnostic."
Prime Minister Najib Razak, who must call for elections by early next year, unveiled a program in 2010 that identified $444 billion of private sector-led projects from mass rail to oil storage to boost economic growth. Speculation the projects will bolster building companies' earnings drove the Bursa Malaysia Construction Index to a six-month high on Feb. 9. The gauge has since fallen 11 percent, compared with the benchmark FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Index's 3.8 percent advance.
Large-scale building projects, such as a mass-rail network in Kuala Lumpur that is still undergoing a feasibility study, could face reviews or potential delays if the election results "turn out to be unfavorable," Sharizan Rosely, an analyst at CIMB Group Holdings Bhd., said in a report dated July 4.
'Mega Jobs'
"In the worst-case scenario, major projects could be reviewed and possibly deferred or canceled," Sharizan wrote. "This scenario is reminiscent of the post-2008 general election which affected several mega jobs."
The construction index tumbled 29 percent between Feb. 13, 2008, when the then Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi dissolved parliament, and March 10 the same year, the first trading day after the general election that saw the ruling National Front coalition losing its two-thirds majority for the first time since 1969. The KLCI gauge sank 9.5 percent on the day after the election.
The KLCI gauge has gained 6.1 percent this year, compared with a 2.4 percent increase in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, as Europe's debt crisis and concerns over global economic growth drove investors to less risky assets. Malaysia's stock measure is trading at 14.9 times estimated earnings, compared with the emerging-market index's multiple of 10.2 times, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Foreign Investors
The KLCI gauge closed at a record 1,624.29 today. The measure was the least volatile among the key indexes of Asia-Pacific markets worth more than $100 billion in the year to June 29 with a reading of 11.36, according to the Bloomberg Riskless Return Ranking.
Overseas investors sold a net 800 million ringgit ($251 million) of Malaysian stocks last month after buying 10 billion ringgit in the October-to-May period, stock exchange data show.
Stronger domestic consumption and initial public offerings such as Felda Global Ventures Holdings Bhd.'s $3.3 billion sale, the world's second-largest IPO this year after Facebook Inc., helped boost portfolio inflows and have "largely negated political risk concerns for the time being," Hong Leong's Ng said.
"We expect the Kuala Lumpur bourse to experience volatility and lower trading liquidity once elections are announced due to investor uncertainty regarding the possible electorate outcome and in light of the surprise results of the last general elections in 2008," Ng said.
Consumer Fund
Hong Leong is also favoring glove makers, retail-based property trusts and selected plantation stocks, Ng said. Hong Leong Asset Management Bhd. is a unit of Hong Leong Capital Bhd., which in turn is a unit of Hong Leong Financial Group Bhd.
Hong Leong Consumer Products Sector Fund, which outperformed 90 percent of its peers with a 26 percent return in the past three years, owned shares of Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia Bhd. and Dutch Lady Milk Industries Bhd. as of May 31, according to a monthly factsheet on the company's website. Dutch Lady has gained 54 percent this year, while Carlsberg Brewery has surged 42 percent.
Hong Leong Balanced Fund, which beat 97 percent of its peers with a 22 percent three-year return, invested in equities and fixed-income securities, including shares of QL Resources Bhd. as of May 31, according to the factsheet. QL Resources, a fishmeal producer that also runs livestock farming and oil palm plantations, has advanced 4.9 percent this year.
"Given global macro headwinds and general election risks on the home front, we believe it pays for the more discerning investors to hold some defensive stocks that have strong cash flows to pay sustainable dividends in their portfolios," Lim Chee Sing, head of research at Kuala Lumpur-based RHB Capital Bhd., wrote in a report dated July 3.

Government Eases Path For Parents to Sue Employers
Amid a record rise in job-bias complaints by mothers, federal regulators are taking a more aggressive stance in protecting parents from discrimination at work.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission issued guidelines yesterday on job bias against workers who juggle caregiving duties, particularly working parents. The 33-page document, with 18 examples of conduct the agency considers illegal, aims in part to help EEOC employees in its 53 offices keep potentially worthy cases from slipping through its enforcement net. Employees need EEOC clearance to sue an employer under federal antidiscrimination law.
Work & Family
- Mailbox: Sue Shellenbarger answers readers' questions.
- Forum: Employer bias based on stereotypes and prejudices against working parents and caregivers to the elderly can pose major roadblocks to advancing one's career or even holding a job. What has been your experience? Join a discussion
Far more complaints are coming its way. Pregnancy-discrimination filings have risen 23% in the past 10 years to a record high last year. More mothers are claiming their ability to work and advance is hindered by employers' stereotypes and assumptions, not only during pregnancy, but for years thereafter. In a pattern some people call "the maternal wall," some mothers say they're denied jobs or promotions by managers who assume all mothers should stay home, lack job commitment or don't want to advance.
"In the past, we saw women discriminated against at two points in their pregnancies," either when they disclosed it or as they neared childbirth, said Elizabeth Grossman, a regional EEOC attorney, at an April EEOC hearing. Now, women also are speaking up at "a third point -- after they have a child."
Female plaintiffs have traditionally had to prove they were treated worse than men in comparable positions to press charges of sex discrimination. Now, the EEOC says managers' biased statements and behavior may be enough to warrant charges by mothers over job setbacks, without any comparative evidence. Based on lawsuits cited by the EEOC, here are examples of managers behaving badly:
- Decisions based on stereotypes, reflected by statements that it isn't possible to be a good mother and perform a certain job; that women can't be both good mothers and good workers; or that women's job performance deteriorates after the birth of a first or second child.
- Decisions based on assumptions -- such as the notion that mothers won't relocate their families for a promotion, or that mothers aren't interested in new jobs that require them to work harder.
- Discrimination against fathers based on a "mirror-image" stereotype -- such as the belief that fathers don't need parental leave because they're breadwinners, not primary parents.
The guidelines don't create a new protected class. It could be permissible under federal law, for example, for a company to refuse to hire parents -- as long as the rule is sex-blind, affecting fathers and mothers equally. It's discrimination based on sex roles that is being targeted. Nor are parents entitled to special accommodations. An attorney who is demoted for missing work and deadlines because she can't find child care doesn't have a case, the EEOC says; she's being fairly penalized for failing to do her job.
In a current example of the lawsuits arising, a physician claims in federal district court in Chicago that her promised partnership in an emergency-room staffing concern was derailed by managers' stereotypes. In disputed testimony, Margaret Lynch, a mother of three at the time, asserts a partner in the firm said mothers "aren't partnership material because they're more interested in having children," and that "women with young children shouldn't be in emergency rooms," says Ethan Cohen, the EEOC attorney in the case.
The company, now called MEA-Elgin, Elgin, Ill., denies discriminating and says the statements were never made, says Jeff Fowler, a Chicago attorney for MEA. Managers attribute changes in its partner track to a merger rather than sex bias, adding that they made major maternity-leave accommodations for Dr. Lynch, allowing her to keep working from home during eight months' bedrest.
Attorneys who represent employers have said the EEOC guidelines aren't necessary. Zachary Fasman, New York attorney and author on employment law, says the caregiver problems cited by the agency are actually a collection of different issues already covered by existing laws that are clear enough.
Leslie Silverman, the EEOC's assistant chairman, says the new guidelines aim to ease "a lot of uncertainty about how the laws apply." And advocates, led by Joan Williams, director of the Center for WorkLife Law at University of California, Hastings, contend bias is so widespread that employers and employees alike need more education on their rights and responsibilities.

ALCS: Weaver gaining momentum
October, 19, 2009
5:10 p.m. ET
Angels starter Jered Weaver looked a lot more comfortable in the third inning, getting ahead in the count with his fastball, then putting away the Yankees with off-speed stuff.
Weaver set down Derek Jeter, Johnny Damon and Mark Teixeira in order with a total of 10 pitches. He threw three straight fastballs to Teixeira, then retired him on a wicked, 79-mph curveball in the dirt.

G-20 Ministers Must Include Biofuels in Food Debate, Oxfam Says
Agriculture ministers from the Group of 20 nations should tackle food price volatility by getting rid of biofuel subsidies and boosting efforts to increase food reserves when they meet this week, Oxfam said.
The ministers, who are holding talks in Paris June 22-23, said last week they would improve crop production, increase market transparency, help manage food prices, strengthen international policy and improve derivatives markets, in an effort to decrease price volatility. Oxfam, an international charity which released two reports on the food crisis today, said in an e-mailed statement the ministers "did not go far enough."
Subsidies for biofuels including ethanol made from sugar and corn, and biodiesel made from soybeans should be eliminated, Oxfam said. Production and usage targets for biofuels should be adjusted when commodity supplies used to make food are low, Katia Maia, Oxfam's Grow campaign head, said in the statement released today.
"A recent interagency report to the G-20 on food price volatility made it crystal clear that biofuels were part of the problem," Maia said in the statement. "The G-20 must urgently remove biofuels subsidies and mandates that are increasing price volatility. The G-20 must also have immediate contingency plans to adjust their biofuels targets when food supplies are endangered."
Global Hunger
The United Nations Food Price Index last month neared a record set in February. The World Bank estimates that 44 million more people fell below the poverty line in the last half of 2010 due to high prices. According to the United Nations' World Food Programme around 1 billion people, or one in seven, around the world are hungry.
French Agriculture Minister Bruno Le Maire said on June 17 there will be no agreement at the meeting on biofuels, which is a "very sensitive subject."
Agriculture ministers who released a preliminary report last week aren't doing enough to end food shortages, Oxfam said in the statement, adding that global grain stocks are dangerously low.
One way to deal with renewed price volatility would be to bolster food reserves, said Thierry Kesteloot, co-author of an Oxfam report called Preparing for Thin Cows. Living on a Spike is the name of the second report released today, which was written by Oxfam and the Institute of Development Studies, a global charity. It looks at the how people have been affected by rising food prices during the past few years.
"The prevailing view that food reserves in themselves don't work is unsophisticated and short-sighted," Kesteloot said. ''We've already seen the huge human cost of countries not having food reserves."

A 20-year-old Bluffton man was arrested Thursday, accused of holding his girlfriend in his home against her will, according to the Bluffton Police Department.
Joshua Dooley was charged with kidnapping and third-degree assault and battery, according to court records. His girlfriend arrived at the police department Thursday and told officers she had just escaped from Dooley's home on Heather Glenn Lane, Maj. Joseph Manning said.
The 20-year-old Beaufort woman told police she was staying at a friend's house in the same neighborhood when she went to ask Dooley for a ride, Manning said. He refused and became angry, grabbed a pin off her backpack and went into his house, according to Manning.
When the woman went to retrieve the pin, Dooley opened his door, kicked her in the stomach and pulled her inside, locking the door behind her, Manning said. The pair struggled for the next half-hour until the woman was able to leave through a back door, according to Manning.
The woman told police she elbowed, head-butted and bit Dooley in her attempt to escape. She also suffered bite marks on her back and redness on her neck, but the injuries did not require treatment, Manning said.
Dooley was taken to the Beaufort County Detention Center, where he was released on a $10,000 personal recognizance bond.
