Enea Drops Most in 2 Months After Poland Delays Sale
Enea SA dropped the most in almost two months in Warsaw trading after Poland ended exclusive talks to sell its third-largest utility to Kulczyk Holding SA, delaying the deal by as much as three months.
Enea fell 1.7 percent to 23.25 zloty at the close today, the biggest drop since Sept. 22, after earlier declining as much as 4.4 percent. The benchmark WIG20 Index fell 0.1 percent.
Kulczyk, owned by Polish billionaire Jan Kulczyk, was chosen last month for exclusive talks to buy 51 percent of Enea as Poland continues its 25 billion-zloty ($8.5 billion) asset sale plan this year to help cover its widening budget deficit. The Treasury gave Kulczyk until Nov. 3 to prove it had financing to buy the Poznan-based utility, valued at 10.3 billion zloty at today's price.
The government is reopening talks with all the bidders that were earlier admitted to talks, the ministry said yesterday, without identifying them. Ministry spokesman Maciej Wewior declined to comment further today.
Marta Wysocka, a spokeswoman for Kulczyk Holding, said by phone the company was invited today to continue negotiations.
Binding Bids
On Oct. 5, the ministry received four binding bids for Enea from GDF Suez SA, France's largest utility, Electricite de France SA, and Energeticky a Prumyslovy Holding AS of the Czech Republic.
Kulczyk and the French companies were invited to the group of three finalists on Oct. 12, which seven days later was reduced to two bidders.
Antoine Lenoir, a spokesman for GDF, and Katarzyna Majchrzak, a spokeswoman for EDF, declined to comment.
Energeticky confirmed it's interested in Enea, Martin Manak, a spokesman, wrote in a text message in reply to questions from Bloomberg. He declined to comment whether the Czech company could be invited back to negotiations.
"Our opinion is that the sale was settled," Kulczyk Holding Chief Executive Officer Dariusz Mioduski said in an e-mail yesterday. "We won exclusivity because we placed an unconditional bid that was the best in terms of price, quality of investment commitments and plans for company development."
Today's decision to reopen talks means the sale will be completed by March 31, the ministry said, abandoning an earlier plan to finish the deal by the end of this year. The government this year sold or signed deals to sell 26.3 billion zloty of stakes in companies, including copper producer KGHM Polska Miedz SA and oil refiner Grupa Lotos SA.

I was wondering if there is any possibility to let users fill in their name and e-mail before a download is available. Take for exemple the Email Before Download plugin in combination with the Download monitor plugin. I think that the Download Manager plugin is way better, so i was hoping that there is any possibility to accomplish the above.
Any ideas?

Do you guys think that the world is full of morons not to even distinguish between a suffering and soccer (goooal)? Well, am not even complaining about the typo error, but as a concept itself, this ad sucks. At least you guys should've kept the word 'goooal' alone, and nothing else. Then, it might've worked. Or rather, it might not have looked ridiculous at least.
actually, the word 'gooal' is what made me think he might be celebrating a goal.
so, it wasnt the lack of information, rather the information you chose to give that made me think that.
Yes, a boy screaming in terror as a massive fire rages behind him really says 'time to celebrate'.
concept is ok, but the images don't look at all what they should.

Economic gradients in early child neurodevelopment: A multi-country study
Little is known about the importance of household wealth for child neurodevelopment very early in life including during infancy. Previous studies have focused on specific developmental domains instead of more holistic multi-domain measures of neurodevelopment and on economic effects for the "average" child instead of evaluating the heterogeneity in economic gradients by different levels of developmental ability. Furthermore, not much is known about whether economic gradients in early child neurodevelopment are country-specific or generalizable between populations. We evaluate wealth gradients in child neurodevelopment, an important predictor of future health and human capital, between ages 3 and 24 months in four South American countries. We also assess the heterogeneity in these gradients at different locations of the neurodevelopment distribution using quantile regression. Employing a unique dataset of 2032 children with neurodevelopment measures obtained by physicians in 2005–2006, we find a large positive wealth gradient in neurodevelopment in Brazil. The wealth gradient is larger for children at higher neurodevelopment rankings, suggesting that wealth is associated with child development inequalities in the form of a wider gap between low and high achievers on neurodevelopment in Brazil. This result highlights the need to target poverty in Brazil as a key factor in health and human capital disparities earlier in life rather than later as early developmental deficits will be carried forward and possibly multiplied later in life. More importantly, small or insignificant wealth gradients are generally found in the other countries. These results suggest that wealth gradients in child neurodevelopment are country-specific and vary with population demographic, health, and socioeconomic characteristics. Therefore, findings from previous studies based on specific populations may not be generalizable to other countries. Furthermore, wealth gradients in child neurodevelopment appear to be dynamic rather than fixed and sensitive to population characteristics that modify their intensity.

Turbine Turbulence
"We chose one only 50 feet high to be sensitive to our neighbors, so if it ever fell over it couldn't hit any house but ours," says Curt, who had no trouble obtaining a city permit and three years later still seems surprised by the uproar that ensued. Another lesson at the Mann Family Living Lab: Don't assume everyone sees a sleek little windmill as a neighborhood asset. "It was a civics lesson for our kids," Curt continues. "A handful of people had misinformation. Once the truth surfaced"—and the TV crews went away—"we had people profusely apologize." The turbine also turned out to be a lesson in wind dynamics. At only 50 feet, below the fastest winds, the SkyStream has been a helpmate but not a replacement for their grid-supplied kilowatts.

Patient Comments: Acne (Pimples) - Controlling Your Acne
What treatments or products have you used to control your acne (pimples)?
Comment from: Arpit, 19-24 Male (Patient) Published: November 25
I am using the following for treatment of nodules, acne and pigments problem. Isotretinoin capsule, Azifast tablet, Acnesol CL emulsion, AcneGuard soap, erythromycin tablet, Contractubex cream, Clean 3 cream and doxycycline tablet.
Comment from: May, (Caregiver) Published: September 02
I am a dermatherapist working at a medical center. What I have mostly noticed is that reducing the pore size of the skin helps a lot in controlling acne break out even during stressful time. This can be best achieved by firstly addressing any underlying health issues such as hormonal disorders and then by controlling and targeting the acne by using a skin regime that dissolves the excess sebum, inhibits the bacteria, and promotes healthy shedding of dead skin. All of this while tightening up and reducing the pore size of the epidermis. This can be achieved by using different modalities such as microdermabrasion with Epi-Infusion, and light based therapies. Facials using masks such as green tea or charcoal can also be helpful.
Comment from: tobbie, 19-24 Male (Patient) Published: July 24
I have been using Glovate (clobetasol propionate USP) to control my acne for the past few days and am seeing some small changes.

Green cars sterilize congestion charges: A model analysis of the reduced impact of Stockholm road tolls
Before–after comparisons indicate that the impact of the road toll in Stockholm on traffic volumes was smaller when the system was re-opened in 2007, compared to the effect during the trial in 2006. We calibrate a modal-choice model on data for Stockholm from before and during the trial and use it to simulate the effects of some seemingly subtle changes of the design of the congestion-charge scheme. We find that the growth of the share of exempted "green" cars and the decision to make charges deductible from the income tax was about to considerably reduce the positive welfare effect of the toll at the time when the "green" car exemption was abolished.

How to Multiply Your Money
If you want to multiply your money you're in good company. 🙂 I love finding ways to make extra money. This first started when I was paying off debt to have more money to throw at the debt, and now it's all about setting up multiple revenue streams.
There are many ways to multiply your money. The Internet is full of them. Some of them are good, like investing. Others not so much, like wasting hours filling out surveys to make a few measly dollars. If you want to multiply your money so you can accomplish goals you have in mind, hopefully, you'll find at least one new method to use.
Multiply Your Money By Lending it Out
You read that right. One of the best ways to multiply your money is by lending it out to others through a peer-to-peer loan. This is a great option if you have little money to invest with or you want to diversify your investing.
The two main P2P sites, Lending Club and Prosper claim to offer returns of anywhere between 5-9%. Of course, you'll want to spread your risk and realize there is a risk of default that can impact returns. However, that's a big reason you should spread out the money you invest as much as possible. Personally, I think this is a great way to multiply your money – you get to help someone get an unsecured personal loan and you get to grow your money. Two birds, one stone!
Invest in the Stock Market
Investing in the stock market is the go-to for multiplying your money. I know the stock market can be risky. I know you'll lose money. You know what? You'll also make money – you can't do that without not having risk. The key to investing is to realize what you're investing the timeframe involved. Assuming you're saving for retirement it's likely decades away from now but don't let that time lull you to inaction.
You also don't want to give into the excuse of having little money to invest. If you have only several hundred dollars or less, it makes a difference and can be invested. There are many online brokerages, such as Motif Investing that allow you to start investing for as little as $250 or less. If you don't have that now, you likely can get to that amount relatively quickly by putting aside a small amount each month.
Consider this, the Center for Retirement Research states that if you wait to start saving for retirement until age 45 you have to put away three times as much as you would if you had started at age 25. The point? Let time do its magic as it's one of the easiest ways to multiply your money.
Go Shopping
I thought I was talking about ways to multiply your money? If you do it right, even shopping can help you grow your money – in fact, I think it can be one of the best ways to make extra money before Christmas. I love to shop on Amazon. It means I get to avoid the malls and I can do it from the comfort of my home. It doesn't get much better than that.
How does shopping on Amazon help multiply your money? Easy – you get money back from your shopping through a cash back site. Not every cash back site allows you to make money from shopping on Amazon though TopCashBack does. TopCashBack allows you to earn 8.5% cash back from each Amazon purchase and up to 70% on other sites. I hate to spend money, but if I can make money back then, I'm much happier.
Sign Up for A Rewards Credit Card
Believe it or not, but a credit card is a great way to multiply your money. Not any credit card will work, it has to be a rewards credit card. You can either travel hack like my wife and I do in order to travel for free or you can sign up for a rewards credit card that gives you cash back on all of your purchases. Some of the best rewards credit cards allow you to earn 5% cash back, if not more, on your regular purchases. This isn't to mention the sweet sign-up bonuses many offer to get your business.
Ax the Phone Contract
When you can multiply your money and save at the same time, it's a deal too hard to pass up. How much are you paying for your cell phone bill? If you're paying $150+ per month like I was then it's way too much! There are many cheap cell phone plans to choose from now that allow you to save $100 or more per month – the best one being Republic Wireless that has plans starting at $5 per month. Don't spend the savings though – stick that $100+ per month in your brokerage account and watch it grow.
Open A Savings Account
Savings accounts are the old-fashioned way to multiply your money. I remember opening my first savings account and watching it grow as interest rates were good. That's not the case anymore. That being said, there are still ways to multiply your money through a high yield savings account.
We have most of our savings at Discover Bank Online as they offer one of the best current rates available at .95%. No, we won't get rich off it but it does allow us to make some money on our savings buckets. There are several other options available for high yield savings though all seem to be around the .8 – 1% rate.
Additional resource: If you want to multiply your money by investing in the stock market but feel you have little money to invest, don't let that hold you back! You can invest in the stock market with little money through a number of options. One option is TradeKing. TradeKing allows you to open an online brokerage account with no minimum balance requirement and is one of the cheapest brokers out there.

I've been running Ubuntu for about 6 months and decided to wipe my drive and dual boot.
So I wiped the drive and popped in the Windows 7 DVD and ran it. The installation went fine but I noticed that the animations were running super fast. I shrugged it off and restarted the computer to complete the installation.
Now once I got it to the desktop, I noticed that my clock was running really fast. The minutes are literally going by as fast as seconds. Everything is running this fast. I've never seen anything like it, honestly.
I can't connect to the internet on it because of the problem (the instant I connect to a website, the connection breaks..) so I had to goto the library to ask you guys what's going on here.

Emily laid still, allowing her heart to slow down, and her labored breathing to ease. Matt was laying half on top of her, his face oddly buried in her shoulder. She raised that arm, curling it around his head, and let her fingers tangle in his soft, messy hair. But his heartbeat wasn't slowing down, and his breathing was still as ragged as it had been at climax. Emily tried to remain calm, to wait patiently, and not overreact.
Something was wrong.
She shook his shoulder, and moved her other hand from his hair to his back, rubbing it softly. He raised his hand, and felt around for hers, giving it a squeezed when he found it. Not quite satisfied with his response, she slowly drew letters on his arm.
"Um fine," Matt slurred. His head flew up at his own words, but he quickly ducked again as the light hit his sensitive eyes.
Emily flew up with him, staring in wonder, afraid to believe that he'd actually spoken. She'd seen him duck from the light, and unsure what it meant, she began rubbing his back again. His face was buried under the pillow behind her now, and one hand fished around for hers until it he found it.
"Matt?" Emily asked in a quiet, unsure voice.
"Yeah?" He grunted, barely distinguishable from underneath the pillow.
Emily's hand flew over her mouth, and tears pricked her eyes. Just like that, he could hear, see, and speak again, even if it was a little garbled. But the sudden light was searing his unaccustomed eyes, which meant his ears were probably overly-sensitive as well. Emily drew up the sheet and comforter, and laying back down beside Matt, pulled the bedding over their heads, creating a dark, quiet cocoon.
"It's okay, Matt. The light's gone," she spoke just above a whisper.
He slowly pulled his head out from the pillow, and faced her voice. It was so dark under the sheets all he could make out was her form lying beside his, but that was good, his eyes were much happier.
"You can hear, and see, and speak...it all just happened?"
"Uh huh...talk not so good." His words came out sort of strained, as if it was difficult to find them and form them.
"Oh my god." Emily reached out and brushed her hands over his face, holding it between her palms. She placed a gentle kiss to his lips, and brought her face back to just look into his eyes. Eyes that had life in them for the first time in nearly two weeks.
"Missed your face, your voice." Matt took her hands in his, and brought them to his mouth, kissing them.
"I missed your voice too...we need to take you to the doctor so he can look at you."
"We should go tonight, Matt. He'll want to know."
"May not last long. I want to be with you while it does," Matt said. He'd managed a phrase and a whole sentence, as he spoke, his speech was improving. Definitely a good thing.
"You'll be with me, I won't leave your side," Emily insisted. She was afraid to be too excited, she wanted the doctor to look at him, and say he was cured, that it would last forever.
"Not the same. I want to lay here, look at your face, and memorize it," he stopped briefly to swallow and think. "I want to listen to you talk to me, and memorize your voice." He stopped again, struggled a moment, and continued. "I may only have a little while to make memories to last a lifetime."
She stared at him a long while, tears shining off the whites of her eyes. Then she nodded, and kissed him, savoring the taste and feel of his soft lips pressing into hers.
They began to talk, slowly, a little awkwardly at first, but then it changed. As they felt like themselves again, the conversation became fast and eager, almost excited. They're conversation had been restrained the last few months, and now they were able to talk without writing anything on white board, or carefully drawing on skin. It was freeing.
After a while the comforter came off, so Matt's eyes could adjust to a greater volume of light, and the couple could get a little air. There was enough light under that sheet that he could begin to make out her features, and by the time they tossed off the sheet, it was night. The moonlight and streetlights combined to generate a comfortable level of light for Matt. He was able to take in the beauty of his nude girlfriend by that soft, bluish light.
They laid naked together talking, and flirting well into the night, happier than they'd been in months. Emily fell asleep just before four a.m., but Matt stayed awake, just watching her sleep.
He was genuinely afraid that if he went to sleep, if he closed his eyes on the world, when he woke-up, it would be gone. That would be it. He would be back to not seeing, hearing, or speaking. So tonight, he was going to stay awake as long as possible, and enjoy the best part of that world. Just after seven, Matt finally gave in, wrapped his body around hers, and drifted off to sleep.
"Whoa, that's going to traumatize," Frank cracked, covering his eyes. He, Cheryl, Duff, and Lia had taken a break from work to join Matt and Emily at the hospital after the latter of the pair had called them.
They'd walked into the room Matt's neurologist had put him in for the exam, and found him sitting on the exam bed, like a good patient. Except instead of actually being a good patient, Emily sat beside him, facing him, their lips joined in a kiss that was maybe a little to hot for their current setting.
"You'll get over it," Emily said sarcastically, pulling away from Matt.
"I don't know, I see a lot of therapy down the road," he teased.
"Well, then make sure the Bureau pays for it." Matt's voice managed to stun his friends into silence. They knew what Emily said, that he was better, but still, it was a shock.
"Jesus, stop looking at me like that," Matt asked uncomfortably. "I feel like I just laughed at my own funeral."
"Sorry Matt, it's just...you're really okay. We were all afraid you'd never talk again." Cheryl went to the side opposite Emily, and squeezed his hand.
"Yeah, me too," he said.
"So, what did the doc say? This isn't temporary, right?" Frank studied his friend, seriously.
"He's studying the MRI now. EKG looks normal though."
"So everything just came back, just like that?" Duff wondered, perplexed.
"Yeah, just kind of hit me. Talking was a little hard at first, and the light killed my eyes, but it got better."
"Oh, please tell me you were slurring like a drunk man, and Emily recorded it," Frank laughed.
"No, I wasn't slurring. Was I?" Matt looked over at Emily.
"No, it was more like difficulty stringing words together, getting your mouth around them. It didn't last long though." Emily spoke to their friends, but still held one of Matt's hands in both of her own.
"Knock, knock," the doctor entered smiling at his patient, and crowd of friends. "I had a chance to look at your MRI Matt, and the swelling is completely gone now. I can't promise you that this is permanent, but I feel confident enough to say that I believe it is."
Matt's shoulders slumped just the teeniest bit, relief easing away the tension he hadn't even realized was there.
"Now, I'm not sure if this will be diagnostically relevant, but I'm still curious, for something to suggest to future patients, what were you doing when everything came back?" He'd love to see if whatever he'd been doing might work for future patients; if it did it could make a fascinating article for a medical journal.
Matt swallowed and went completely still, while Emily bit her lip and looked at her lap. Both the doctor, and their longtime friends noticed the change.
"Why are you both suddenly quiet?" Lia asked before anyone else got up the nerve.
"Because, we were...we were uh, having sex when everything came back," Matt confessed. Emily's head shot up and she gave him a look. Matt just shrugged, what else were they supposed to say?
"Oh...well, it was certainly a happy moment then...I'll go get your release forms." The doctor scurried out, looking distinctly uncomfortable. It might come off as inappropriate if he suggested that to future patients.
Six very quiet FBI employees sat in awkward silence for no less then ten minutes. Then Duff couldn't stand it anymore, he had to say what he was thinking, so he blurted it out, and not very tactfully.
"That must have been one hell of a roll in the sack."
Lia lightly smacked his chest, and gave him a stern look.
"What?" He held up his hands. "They hit the sheets once, and suddenly he's cured. That's like, like, like faith healing with sex!"
Lia rolled her eyes at him, and Frank began to chuckle. Matt and Emily tried to sink into the ground.
"Lehman's a faith healer..." Frank trailed off giggling, while Emily colored a bright pink.
"Somehow, I don't think the church would approve of her methods," Cheryl commented, arching an eyebrow at the embarrassed couple.
"I say we shoot Flannery in the leg, and test this theory, see if she can heal him," Frank suggested, still laughing to himself.
"Very funny, but I'd rather not," Matt frowned at him.
"Alright, alright, time to lay off them," Cheryl ended the jokes, feeling a little bad for her friends. "Let's just be happy Matt's better now, regardless of how it happened."
She tried not to smile at the thought, but it was just too funny. Duff and Frank were trying and failing to stop laughing, and Lia was struggling not to be amused. Matt and Emily exchanged a look, and Matt took on a self-deprecating grin; Emily shook her head and laughed silently.
They were just relieved he was alright.
"I thought I'd never hear this sound again," Matt said quietly.
They were walking along the beach, toes digging into the coarse, wet sand, sea-scented breeze blowing over their faces and through their hair. He had an arm wrapped around Emily's shoulders, and her head resting on his shoulder, her arm around his waist. It was a little overcast, but that just meant that the sun wasn't beating down on them.
The ocean waves were rushing up fiercely, and smacking the shoreline, threatening to wash over their feet. It was coming further inland as they walked, and the first time it hit, Matt started and jumped. Emily had giggled at him, before also jumping as the cold water hit her feet. It was colder than it should have been for November, but it had been unseasonably cold for months.
Even with the cool breeze, and colder water, they were both enjoying themselves. Matt was just happy to hear the thick smack of the water as it landed on the sand, and musical rush as it returned to the sea. It was brilliant blue waves rushing toward them, and a thick white foam as it slid back for another round. It was seagulls squawking and flying around, and defunct sandcastles that the ocean washed over the previous night. It was one of Matt's favorite places, with sounds and sights he'd thought he'd only ever find again in his dreams.
"Me too...I'm so happy that it's over. I love you." She spoke without missing a beat.
"I love you too," he spoke softly, suddenly turning to face her, hands on lightly holding her hips. He moved one hand to lightly brush her face, his breath quivering in his throat.
Emily pressed a chaste kiss to his lips, unsure what was going on. He was staring at her so intensely, like he was trying to see into her soul--no more like he was giving her a chance to see into his soul.
"You didn't leave," he suddenly blurted. That hadn't been what Matt wanted to start with, but it was on the tip of his mind. Emily looked clearly startled.
"You could have left, Em. You could have said it was too much, and walked away, but you didn't. You stayed with me the whole time, no matter how hard it got. You didn't have to, I mean we aren't married or even engaged..." he faltered and trailed off, before trying again. "I don't, uh don't really know how to stay what I want here. I just...I needed you so badly, and you were there, and god knows, I still need you..."
He was rushing through his thoughts, trying to figure out what he was trying to say. Emily had seen it before, and still thought it was completely adorable. Cute as it was, she decided to silence him the same way she had the first time hyper-explanatory mode. Then he'd been talking about commanders and negotiators, the objectivity, and why they shouldn't be sleeping together.
"Thank you," he blurted when they finally broke for air. "Thank you for staying."
"If you leave when it gets hard, you don't deserve to be there when it's easy," she told him, kissing him again.
When they broke again, Matt pulled her against his body, holding her as close as possible without hurting her. He stood there holding her, watching a seagull swoop for a fish, and listening to the waves crash against the shore.
"Hey, it's getting late, you want to get something to eat?" Emily titled her head slightly, so she was speaking softly against his neck.
"Sounds good."
"What are you in the mood for?" They were still holding each other as they spoke, both reveling in the comfort of touch that they'd grown so accustomed too over the last couple weeks.
"Besides you?" Matt couldn't resist.
"How about something more...nutritional?" She suggested.
"I don't know, according to our friends, your body healed mine. That's more than broccoli or bananas ever did for me." He'd bent his head, and begun kissing her neck as he spoke.
"I think you overestimate my talents," Emily grinned.
"Maybe you underestimate yourself. I'm thinking if one time cures me of deafness and blindness, two might turn me into superman."
She stopped mid eye-roll when his warm, soft lips hit her collarbone. Not really appropriate beach behavior, but it was November, and chilly, so the place was deserted.
"So, what do you want to eat superman?" She asked with an amused smile. She pulled away, taking his hand and leading them off the beach.
"No finger food, no fries, burgers, sandwiches, wraps, pizza, pita bread things, or burritos. I want something I have to eat with fork and knife, real food." In the midst of all the learning he had to do, asking him to relearn to use a knife and fork was too much, so he'd relied on things he could eat with his hands.
"There's a nice Italian restaurant a few blocks from where we parked, how's that?"
"Good, they should even have some good desserts."
"Oh, I already know what I want for dessert." He chose that moment to pull her back into his arms. Matt was in a very good mood, and a mood that good usually made him frisky.
Emily giggled, "You just behave yourself in the restaurant."
"Always..." Matt grinned, inhaling the scent of coconut, dove soap, and lilies—the scent of home.
This story is officially over, but will be cleaning my hard drive, so major updates this week! Thank you to all the people that reviewed, and thanks for reading!

I would like the pictures in the flash-widget-thingy on the left to fit (but not stretch!) in the 190*190 pixel available.

For some reason, SOME, but not all of the pictures are somehow stretched (aspect ration changes) but I can't seem to find a pattern (or resolve it).

The remnants of former tropical cyclone Evan could make it a
sodden Christmas Day in much of the North Island, but South
Islanders will be savouring lunch in the sun.
Although the deep low pressure system that remains from Evan
has made forecasts less predictable, both Weatherwatch.co.nz
and the MetService agree the deep south will have the pick of
the conditions.
MetService is predicting rain with warm north-easterlies in
Northland, Auckland, Waikato, the Bay of Plenty and Taranaki
across to Hawke's Bay.
Weatherwatch.co.nz forecasters are more optimistic,
predicting rain and showers clearing from the morning in
these areas, but with the humidity levels remaining high.
Weatherwatch forecaster Phillip Duncan said the remnants of
Evan will lie west of the North Island and the tropical air
that come with it will make it seem warmer than the actual
temperatures - around the mid-20's - across the North Island.
"The 'feels-like' temperature will be in the low to mid-30s
in these regions, especially if the sun comes out for a bit
as well," said Mr Duncan.
The capital looks set to have a mostly fine day, with highs
in the mid-20's and morning showers clearing.
Both forecasters predict the South Island is the place to be,
with the Mainland enjoying highs of 30 degrees and above in
central Otago and inland Canterbury, with clear skies and
light winds.
MetService weather forecaster Brooke Lockhart said former
tropical cyclone Evan had injected more uncertainty than
usual in their predictions, although it was continuing to
weaken as it approached New Zealand.

I've just downloaded cool reader onto my Droid Razr M, and I'm at a loss as to how to get at the e-books.
I'm new to Android, generally, so I'm not familiar with the file structure and the OS. I use a Nook reader, and have managed to get my own documents loaded on it via Calibre (an e-book manager). But though I thought I had successfully transferred the books onto the phone, Cool Reader can't find them.

Lexington, KY – Martin Nielsen, an equine parasitologist, veterinarian and assistant professor at the University of Kentucky Gluck Equine Research Center, has launched the first research crowdfunding project at UK and possibly the first such effort in the field of veterinary science.
Nielsen's crowdfunding campaign, called "Let the germs get the worms: Testing a novel probiotic compound for treatment of equine parasites," is hosted at the website http://equineparasitology.ca.uky.edu/ and has a goal of raising $30,000 before March 10.
Nielsen's research team is devoted to providing solutions for worm control in horses. Horse parasites, such as small strongyles and large roundworm, are developing increased levels of resistance to all available dewormers. No new drugs are being developed for use in horses, so the equine industry needs new reliable treatment alternatives. Horses on pasture are constantly exposed to different parasite types. These can cause disease symptoms such as colic, diarrhea and weight loss. Foals are particularly vulnerable to parasite infection and need special attention in parasite control programs.
"It is our experience that horse owners are very interested in updated information about parasite control and have great concerns about drug resistance," Nielsen said. "We therefore felt that crowdfunding would be very appropriate for raising funding for research in this area. The crowdfunding platform allows direct interaction with the end users of our research, which is very valuable to us. A good question can inspire us to set up the next research project."
Researchers at the University of California have identified a naturally-occurring bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis, which produces a crystal protein capable of killing intestinal worms without harming the animal. UK's study aims to evaluate the effect of this bacterial protein against important horse parasites under laboratory conditions. Parasites will be collected from horses in a research herd and tested in the laboratory.

MetLife Announces Third Quarter 2012 Results
Printable PDF
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 31, 2012-- MetLife, Inc. (NYSE: MET) today reported the following results for the third quarter of 2012:
MetLife reported operating earnings* of $1.4 billion, or $1.32 per share, up 47% over the third quarter of 2011. The Americas segment reported an increase in operating earnings of 58%, partly due to several items that negatively impacted third quarter 2011 results, and the Asia segment reported a 17% increase. Reported operating earnings for the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) segment were down 5%, but up 20% when adjusted for the impact of foreign currency exchange rates.
On a GAAP basis, MetLife reported a net loss of $984 million, or $0.92 per share, including a $1.6 billion, after tax, goodwill impairment, which reflects the impact of current market and economic conditions on the estimated fair value of the U.S. retail annuity business. Also included in the net loss were net derivative losses of $467 million, after tax, which reflect MetLife's use of derivatives (as part of its broader asset-liability management strategy) to hedge certain risks, such as movements in interest rates and foreign currencies. This hedging activity often generates derivative gains or losses and creates fluctuations in net income because the risk being hedged may not have the same GAAP accounting treatment.
Premiums, fees & other revenues* were $11.6 billion, down 1% from the third quarter of 2011. Excluding pension closeout sales (which often fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter) and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, total premiums, fees & other revenues grew 2%.
Net investment income* was $5.0 billion, up 2% over the third quarter of 2011 and reflecting variable investment income above the plan range by $3 million, after tax and the impact of deferred acquisition costs ("DAC").
Book value, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"), was $47.70 per share, up 3% over the third quarter of 2011.
"Our continued solid operating earnings reflect the strength of our diverse, global business," said Steven A. Kandarian, chairman, president and chief executive officer of MetLife, Inc. "Our focus on pricing discipline and risk management continues to serve us well in this challenging economic environment. As we continue to execute on our strategy, we will strengthen MetLife's ability to deliver value for its customers and shareholders."

Bonfire on the Beach lights up lakefront with music
Make a list: You'll need a beach towel, a swimsuit, maybe some flip-flops and a party attitude for Bonfire on the Beach.
It may be the opening week of Summerfest, but this party kicks off at 6 p.m. Thursday at Bradford Beach with music from De La Buena. The band plays until 7:30 p.m. when DJ Kid Millions takes the stage, followed by Kane Place Records from 9 to 10 p.m. Bonfire pits will allow party-goers to see each other and keep them warm if the temperatures drop. »Read Full Article
Milwaukee Film Festival picks: Day Eleven
One regrettable, if inevitable, occurrence during a film festival is that films you want to see often play opposite each other. That occurs Sunday at the Milwaukee Film Festival with parallel screenings of "The Act of Killing" (Downer Theatre) and "Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me" (Fox-Bay Cinema Grill), both at 8 p.m.
"The Act of Killing" is an appalling yet compelling and strangely beautiful documentary in which the Indonesian gangsters and paramilitary group members who killed 1 million Chinese "communists" in 1965 re-create their crimes as surreal movie scenes. »Read Full Blog Post

If you are a blogger, you must guest post at some point. That's not a generic statement. I say that from my experience.
There are so many benefits of guest blogging apart from bringing in extra traffic. More importantly guest blogging hones your writing, and if you guest post on a regular basis, let me tell you how you become a better writer.
Different styles
When you guest post on a different blog, you write for a totally different group of people. The niche might be the same and you may also write on a similar topic as the host blogger. However, the readers of the host blog are used to a completely different style of writing. Your guest post should fit in there.
For this purpose, you need not change your own voice and style, though. However your style has to be compatible with that of the host blog.
I've experienced this to be challenging when I write for really big blogs like Problogger, Search Engine Journal etc. But once I get past 2 or 3 guest blog posts where I push myself beyond my limits and limitations, I find a great improvement in my writing style.
I see a lot of flexibility with myself. I can see this difference quite obviously when I write for my own blogs.
You surely do check grammar when you write a blog post for your blog. But how do you check for grammar when you write a guest post? Well, I have a tab with Cambridge Dictionaries Online open when I write a guest post. I mean, I am more cautious about grammar mistakes when writing a guest post when compared to writing on my own blog.
I am not saying that you can publish crap on your blog, but you see with extra-careful eyes for grammatical errors when you write for others. It is like how you behave at your own house and how you behave when you are a guest at someone's house.
Writing to suite guidelines
When you write guest posts you are normally given guidelines – A set of rules provided by the host blogger. Your article should be written in such a way that it complies with those guidelines, in order to be accepted.
This means that you are writing with some constraints on hand. And, sometimes the rules can influence your writing pattern, style, the length and the quality of the post (the information in it).
Guidelines give you an idea about the styles and the quality, thus you are not left hand-cuffed in a forest. You are free to write out your ideas and thoughts, but still you have to follow a guideline; the important point is that the guideline is not set by you but by someone else. Trust me, this is great for your writing.
More accountability
Again, just like grammar checking, you are extra careful about the information you share in the guest post. Things like the information you share, the images you use, the ideas and everything in that guest post have to be unique, original and have to be written by you. You cannot do a copyright infringement of the information and the items in use.
Further you cannot use the information anywhere else; the guest article is only for that particular website to which you wrote it for. If you intend to use it, you can quote a part of the idea with appropriate reference to the original content.
Extensive research
Guest posts are usually longer than the average posts you write on your blog. For the extra length you just cannot blabber space filling words or sentences.
You have to provide in-depth information. You therefore do an extensive research for writing a guest post. You take extra time and provide as much information as possible.
And you make it really great in quality because you cannot afford to lose the opportunity to set up a fan base outside your blog!
Longer posts
As I just said, your guest posts are usually longer than the posts you write on your blog. You can also write short articles; it is not a strong rule that you write longer articles. However it is because you normally guest post at a blog which is either an A-listed blog or at least a blog which has audience size quite larger than your blog or of the same size as your blog.
Again, as I said, extensive research is required to write longer posts. At the same time you have to be extra careful about grammar, guidelines and the quality. This is a challenge to some extent and if you continue writing such posts in the long run, your writing will get improved every day.
In summary, apart from the numerous benefits of guest posts, your writing improves a lot when you write guest posts regularly. It is like putting you on a hard training mode where you learn at the same time, you cannot afford to make mistakes; because your post goes online on a blog which is already famous and has large number of audience. Further, your guest post is very important for your own blog or website, so you cannot compromise on the quality.
Given all the restrictions your writing gets a great shape. Try guest posting, it is a cool thing.

Ahh, to type the very last word of a 400-page novel. There's no feeling quite like it. Well, except for the feeling of typing the last word of a 401-page novel, but now we're just getting into semantics.
You can change the world with your writing. It doesn't happen all the time, but it is possible. Not likely if you're writing catchy slogans for oatmeal cookies, but if you are writing about anything substantial, there is a chance for your words to truly make a difference. Think about how much the concept of "Big Brother" has become a part of the social consciousness ever since George Orwell wrote 1984, and how that has shaped our views of government interference in our lives. The writings of Frederick Douglass, a former slave, helped push forward the abolitionist movement, and his three autobiographies shed a lot of light on what slaves went through, helping to change the popular view in that regard as well. And how empty would our world be if Stephenie Meyer had never written Twilight?
