UVa coach Joanne Boyle
On the game:
"Excited to get our first ACC win. I think Virginia Tech played hard, when they got down they didn't quit. They came back and gave us a game. Really just glad to get our first win."
On the second half
"We got into panic mode late in the game. I don't know why, but there are a couple things that we need to be better at. When you're starting to build a lead on a team you have to have the mentality that you're going to put them away and we just relax and were not going to be in that situation much in the ACC so you have to take advantage of it and really hound it. I think we just let up and we let up at different times."
On takes from the game:
"There's always positives that you can takes from wins and losses, and from this one it's good to see that our team can grind and grind it out. China hit some big free throws and our post got some big rebounds. I'm glad we did that, but let's try not to put ourselves in those situations if we don't have to."
UVa player China Crosby:
On the game:
"What's going through my mind is that we need to stay poised and run our offensive sets. We didn't really do a good job of that tonight. Coach Boyle always tells us when we hit panic mode, when we panic as a team, as the leader on the floor I need to do a better job of controlling the team and making sure we do the things that we did earlier in the game to get a lead."
On her game-winning shot:
I was going to pull it out to run our offensive set, but Coach Boyle was waving her hand saying "just go", and when she said that I went and tried to make a play. I'm really glad it went in, but I was really just trying to get to the free throw line and hit the free throws. And I'm always excited about stuff like that, so really just excited about the play as well."
UVa player Ataira Franklin:
On China Crosby's play:
"The way China yelled at the end, that's how I felt on the inside. But I feel like when China is hype then I need to be the one to calm everyone down, to set the defense, and make sure we stay poised. But I think that's just the balance of leadership and responsibility between China and me. But it was exciting for her to make such clutch shots and really just pull it out for us."
Virginia Tech head coach Dennis Wolff
Opening statement:
"We are really, really disappointed because we got control of the game and we didn't close it out. I'm really proud of the effort the girls gave in coming back from the deficit we were in. I thought these two [Monet Tellier and Uju Ugoka] played very hard and very well throughout the game. I thought our freshman were a little bit nerved up when the game started and Taijah [Campbell] settled down pretty good as the game went on and Hannah [Youg] did a very good job defensively throughout. It became a possession game and we had a couple oreally bad possessions there in the last minute and a half."
On Monet Tellier and Uju Ugoka's efforts:
"The thing in regards to both of these kids is every time the ball was in their hands, they were trying to make plays to win the game. This is the first time as a group, the three of us were in a game like that. She [Uju Ugoka] was going to try to make a play and turned to face her man just like Mo [Tellier] tried to make a play on the last one."
On one of the last plays of the game when Aerial missed a jumper:
"They are a well-coached, good defensive team and that was an eight foot pull up jumper, so yeah I'm good with it."
On the last several bad possessions:
"We had one where we turned it over right there at half court. Then we had a bad defensive possession that we didn't close out and they ended up getting a basket on where we guarded them pretty well and the ball got kicked out."
On it being a closer game than their last two games:
"We still lost. That's it. We lost. It's a rivalry game because they've won a bunch of games. Until we start winning a couple of these games, it's really us trying to beat them. There is no consolation at all. These kids are bitterly disappointed; we thought we could have won the game."
On Virginia Tech's first half:
"They are a good defensive team and we are not a great outside shooting team. They slowed us down and we made an adjustment at halftime that enabled us to flow into offense a little bit quicker in the second half."
Virginia Tech player Monet Tellier
On Virginia Tech's improvements in the second half:
"We were just more physical. We attacked them instead of them attacking us the whole game. Like coach said, we had control of the game for a minute there. We just didn't finish it out."
On her improvement in the second half:
"I did not have a good first half but coming off of half time, Coach Wolff told me to stop trying so hard so I started letting the game come to me and just flew into it."
Virginia Tech player Uju Ugoka:
On having the lead with less than two minutes to go and then having a turnover: "It was a good defensive play and I wasn't strong with the ball. I went right into their defense and that's what cost the turnover right there."
On playing against Sarah Imovbioh:
"It was kind of cool because she was my childhood friend and playing with her today was kind of fun. It was nice playing with her again."

Check out this idea:
1) Set up server details and such (subdomain like dev.yourdomain.com)
2) Click "Generate Test Environment"
3) A replica of your site is created in the test environment, where you can mess with stuff, test themes, install and hack an out-of-date plugin for your WP release, etc. etc.
The reasoning is that our sites change all the time. Keeping a test environment is really a pain and could likely be automated.
Whaddya think?

About 1 year ago, I lost 70 pounds by walking every day and watching what I eat. It took me about 11 months to lose the weight. During the 11 months, I incorporated a little running. I didn't enjoy it but enjoyed burning the calories. I am now, however, how enjoying the running and am doing it every day. I also just signed up for my first 5K race and I am excited. It may sound funny but the only problem I experience while running is with my underwear riding up. So I wonder if anyone has any suggestions for good underwear for running or if I should consider thongs or perhaps no underwear at all. Any thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks in advance.
My wife's a runner and full-bottomed cotton undies work best for her. The two brands she feels most comfortable in are Victoria's Secret, and Haines; the trick is to buy a slightly higher waist (briefs?) and make sure they're a bit snug.
Fat old man PRs:
Personally, I like synthetics (and the high waisted granny panties that Shipo mentioned his wife likes). Lots of women run in tights commando, but I feel like I need a little support... Victoria's Secret Pink has these Yoga undies that are pretty light weight, and if you want to spend $18 on Lululemon, they have some too.
Just stay away from lace... the chafe is nasty!
This really is the domaine of TMI!!
No underwire for me. I buy running shorts that have the undies built in. I never have issues with them riding up or chaffing. I'd suggest going to a running store and trying a few pairs. My favorites are Nike and Brooks. If you are on a budget, you can sometimes find them at Ross or Marshall's for $10-20.

Loonie's Doldrums Not Necessarily a Bad Thing
By Don Curren
There was some drama for the Canadian dollar last week when it took a tumble after the Bank of Canada said the next move in interest rates might not be higher.
But the action in the loonie could end up being an episode rather than a miniseries like the sharp, 8% rise in the euro since July. The Canadian dollar has been pretty boring to watch recently, and that's not necessarily a bad thing, one global foreign-exchange strategist said.
"Sex and violence is good for movies, but not for real life," David Bloom, global head of foreign-exchange strategy at HSBC Bank, told Canada Real Time.
The Canadian dollar has depreciated by about 1.5% since the Bank of Canada dropped the reference to interest rates eventually going higher from its policy statement last Wednesday. But developments in Canada pale compared with those in other countries, Mr. Bloom said.
One of the reasons is that shock the U.S. Federal Reserve delivered to global markets in September, when it said it didn't plan to dial down its bond-buying program.
"Once the Fed surprised everybody, nobody's being surprised by central banks now. You need a bigger shock," Mr. Bloom said.
The surprise from the Fed came against a backdrop of uncertainty about the direction of China's economy and lingering worries about Europe. "If you're thinking about China, Europe and the U.S., it doesn't leave much room for anybody else," he said.
A key factor for all currencies in the near term will be the fiscal fracas in the U.S.
Lawmakers there managed to forge a compromise earlier this month to boost the country's debt ceiling and allow it to keep up program spending, but only until Jan. 15, when they will once again have to come to an agreement.
Just as the euro zone's sovereign crisis lurched from one event to the next for a considerable period of time, the U.S. budget issues could continue to drive markets in the coming months as lawmakers move from one deadline to another, Mr. Bloom said.
Some argue the Canadian dollar might benefit as investors look for somewhere safe to park their capital if fiscal debate in the U.S. heats up again.
But Canada's close economic ties with the U.S. will keep the loonie tethered in such a situation, Mr. Bloom said. "You can like the [Canadian dollar], but how bullish can you get when a $16 trillion economy on your doorstep is having problems?" he asked.
HSBC does see the U.S. dollar strengthening a bit against the loonie—which currently buys 95.8 U.S. cents—by the end of the year.
And there's one bit of solace for those who would like to see some more movement in the loonie.
"In foreign-exchange markets, boring never lasts," Mr. Bloom said.

The Community Partnership's Young Parents program invites area residents to a public conversation about the impact of teen pregnancy on communities at 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 7, in the Multipurpose Room of the Phelps County Courthouse.
The event is called "#BeTheException" and will last about an hour. May 7 is also National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy in the U.S.
Sammie Goodson, Young Parents coordinator and organizer of the event, explained the reason for this meeting, and why the public needs to understand how teen pregnancy can impact an entire community.
"The facts about teen pregnancy show that a community is impacted on many levels," she said. "Economically, educationally, and in other ways. This conversation is open to the public, and it is not going to focus on morality or politics. This is just a way to raise awareness, and to encourage young people, parents, educators, health care providers, law enforcement and the general population to help our area be the exception to the statistics."
Goodson said that this topic is not one that is addressed publicly often in our area, but that residents may be surprised to hear some of the facts surrounding this issue.
"It's just not something people want to talk about," she said, "but there are some very serious social problems connected with teen pregnancy, including poverty - especially child poverty - child abuse and neglect, father-absence, low birth weight, school failure and poor preparation for the workforce.
"We want to raise awareness, and work toward making our communities the exception to the facts," Goodson said. "We urge anyone working with youth in any way to attend this meeting. Let's talk about this."
For more information, contact Goodson at 573-368-2849 or email@example.com.

Comments and advice for improvement welcome. I'm still trying to figure out how to change the image in the header (currently the Taj Mahal) to change with each page refresh or navigation. I'll post about that issue in "how to."
I'm delighted with the image gallery that is making its first appearance at http://sprangleblog.com/?p=27 . I'll be making daily use of it once I get to India.
And a big thanks to the many here and in other sites who generously helped me resolve various issues, especially getting the posts in chronological order

I'm having a problem with teaching the plugin which term to use. My glossary includes the following terms:
-"public engagement"
-"public engagement initiative"
-"public engagement mechanism"
The glossary was always defaulting to displaying the definition for "public", so I ended up deleting that definition, and now it defaults to "public engagement." I've tried changing the dates (since I thought it might default to older) but no luck.
Could you at least tell me what the default behaviour is for the plugin? Does it choose the first term that matches based on... post ID? I could probably figure out a workaround if I knew how it did the logic.
However, I do have a request (for later): could you make sure the plugin keeps reading the string of text until there is only one match? Or, at the very least, let the user order the terms in the order they would like to be matched? (i.e. "public engagement initiative" takes priority over "public")
[ Please do not bump, it's not permitted here. ]

Passage (Mass Market Paperbound)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Volume three in the epic fantasy sagafrom multiple Hugo Award-winning author Lois McMaster Bujold
Young Fawn Bluefield and soldier-sorcerer Dag Redwing Hickory have survived magical dangers, but the bigotry of blood kin cannot be easily overcome. Leaving behind all that they have ever known, they set off to find fresh solutions to the perilous split between their peoples a passage that will not be ventured alone. New companions join them on their road: Fawn's brother, Whit, escaping a hopeless future on the family farm; two novice Lakewalker patrollers fleeing the catastrophic consequences of an honest mistake; a young flatboat captain searching for her vanished father and fiance; a shrewd backwoods hunter; and a farmer boy unintentionally beguiled by Dag's growing magery. On an eventful journey to where great rivers join, the ill-assorted crew will be sorely tested and tempered as they encounter a new world of hazards both human and uncanny.

I find that Frannie Peabody has been a very helpful progam, almost two years ago they help me start a Gay Men's Support group, for Gay men in the Saco/Biddeford area. When ever I need help with supplies such as pamphlets or condom supplies they have alway been there for me, inoder for me to have them available for the men in the group. They come and do HIV testing for those men that can't get to a testing facility. Over all they have been there whenever anything has come up and we need help.

The latest NextGen Gallery (v2.0.17) conflicts with All-In-One Events Calendar plugin (v1.11.3pro). It causes the Event Calendar view to not be able to advance to the next or previous month.
It causes jquery-migrate (1.2.1) to load when it is not needed. It loads this and the latest jquery (1.10.2 via the local wp-includes). With NextGen Gallery disabled, migrate does not load, and jquery core (1.10.2 via GoogleApis) loads as expected.
Help! This is highly disruptive to a site that relies on both of these plugins being 100% functional. Thanks in advance!

Not only a quarter of world's population lives there, the past 13 years of PROHIBITION against games has created a profound thirst and vacuum that will take millions of consuls and many years to fulfill and who is better positioned than the one most known and best regarded by Chinese than Sony.
The windfall from Chinese government's removal of the prohibition for Sony would be beyond enormous . Of course some panicked about missing the boat will go as far as calling all Chinese thieves to prove Sony won't be able to sell its products there. I wonder if the same people were saying the same thing when Samsung started selling their smartphone there or are they also discouraging Apple from pursuing a deal with China Mobile? In either case they are wasting their breath.
Remember Sony is not Nokia or Research in Motion, etc...Sony is a solid company that is been around going back decades and decade and had a reputation for quality in electronics similar to that of Mercedes in autos.
Sony has already turned around but it is still at the very beginning . I have been following every word of the new CEO and looking up their every new product and what is planned ahead and can tell you I will be surprised, specially in the face of Japan's new monetary and financial policy if Sony is not one of the top performers every year for at least next 3-5 years and even possibly beyond...

By Spc. Joshua R. Ford, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, Public AffairsJanuary 19, 2007
SINIYAH, Iraq, Jan. 17, 2007 - Insurgent uprisings around the last week of October forced the majority of the city's police officers, the mayor and the entire city council to resign. The uprisings resulted in the complete destruction of the police station and left the city without security.
After the devastating blow, a new police station is being built and police officers are being trained to standard, said Antoine Dunmeyer, commander, Company A, 1st Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division.
The few police officers that stayed on duty opened recruiting stations throughout the city. So far more than 80 recruits have joined the force, said 1st lt. Qaiss Kamal, a Siniyah police officer.
"They want to serve the people of Siniyah and they want to support the families of Siniyah," said Kamal.
The police are currently operating out of the Siniyah municipal building, which is located near the mosque at the center of the city where most of the October attacks occurred. Already, the city's security situation has improved, said Kamal.
A permanent police station is in the process of being built nearby. The new floor plan includes elevated police security points, almost like guard towers, which will provide an eagle's-eye view of the streets.
The officers are also looking forward to furthering their professional training, said Dunmyer. They will learn basic skills such as protecting the police station and conducting street patrols.
"Insurgents don't bring the fight to you. They take one shot and run. Once we are provided the equipment and the intelligence we need to patrol, we will definitely go after the bad guys to make Siniyah a safer place to live," said Kamal.
Dunmyer's company and the 4th Iraqi Army Division have provided 24-hour security for Siniyah since mid-November and will continue to do so until the police force becomes strong enough to defend and protect the city on its own.
The newly-trained police officers will form police transition teams, which will train in mid-January with the 303rd Military Police Company, 89th Miltary Police Battalion - an Army Reserve unit out of Jackson, Mich. - on Forward Operating Base Summerall.
Staff Sgt. Jeremy Hockey, a squad leader, 303rd Military Police Company, said the police officers will make their transition once they complete three stages, beginning with police station security, getting new uniforms and getting new equipment.
"(We are) teaching them how to defend the building and how to show the people of Siniyah that they can be trusted," said Hockey. "(The last step) is basic patrolling the city itself."
The police force has only four trucks, five AK-47s, and the promise of a new building. For now, they bring their own weapons to work every day and work in the temporary facility.
The 303rd Miltary Police is trying to show the Iraqi policemen the channels they can go through in their government to get what they need. In time they will improve and become self-sufficient, added Boys.

These tires came standard on my 2007 Honda Pilot. I just replaced my tires for the first time last month and my car had almost 50,000 miles. I live on a small mountain and drive up and down it multiple times a day. It is curvy and I drive very fast. They performed very well for me. I did have some sliding in the rain but think it was more due to front wheel drive and not the tires. I just replaced my tires at the Honda dealership and paid a total of $648 for tires plus and additional $65 for installation. I now wish I had purchased them at Wal-mart and will do so next time.
Came on my Monte Carlo and had tires rotated at 6,000 miles, if you take care of the tire ,it will take care if you. Worth the money
These were the oem tire on my Ford Freestar. The first set lasted 49k. The next set I put on were the acclaimed Cooper CS4 ($35 more per). They were supposed to be a 60K tire. They lasted 45k. I then put another set of the Goodyear Integrity on, had 20k on them and they were hardly worn when I traded the car. Good tires and very different experience than someone who chewed through theirs in 20k. I'm not brand loyal, but do recognize good value in these tires.
This tires are not that great they only last about 20,000 miles and are not worht the money you pay for them. They get uneven tread and make the car ride ruff. You can balance them because they feel unbalanced but it does not help. They create a noise in the car. They do start to seperate. I,mnot the only one having problems with this tire. You can efven read other reviews with Discount tires web site about the same tire. I will never buy this tire again. I have two sets and neighter set has lasted more then 20,000 miles. This were the original type a tire that came on this van in 2007. I do not see way GM would put such a sorry tire on a new vechile. It does not give me great trust in GM.
Bought a 98 Civic and the tires on the car were getting too worn out to go thru another winter safely. Saw these online and decided to buy them as everyone else wanted over $100 per tire!! for the same tire! Picked them up with no problem and had them mounted 2 at a time on my car. Noticed the handling difference right away ...... greatly improved on just dry pavement. Also the car rode much smoother and seemed to have more power as it gripped the road better. Then came winter weather. They performed very well on wet roads giving me superior traction and when it snowed I noticed the superior handling properties were just as good on the snow covered streets as well. I could tackle 3" of snow covered roads with no problem. Best danged tire I could get and am very pleased I did buy them. I love Goodyear products and always bought Goodyear tires for my Jeep Grand Cherokee over the years so I just continued the tradition and am glad I did.
These tires came with my 2008 Dodge Charger. I live in New York City and if you've ever driven a car here, let alone parking it on the street and having to move it twice a week for street cleaning, you will understand the value of a good tire. There are more potholes and raised manhole covers on NYC streets than most other cities in the world! I drive fast which would normally destroy a set of tires in about 20,000 miles do to the street conditions. That being said, these relatively inexpensive tires stood up to 56,000 miles of Big Apple abuse! I just got a new set and I'm hoping they do as well as the last ones.
I purchased these tires on 05/15/2006. I drove from Texas to Tennesse, then to Oregon and finshed in Seattle WA. All the while I was pulling a small U-Haul trailer. Ever sense I settled in the Seattle area I have had zero issues with these tires. They are currently left with 5% tread and I am looking at getting new tires and most likely will get the same ones because of the price and dependablity these tires have already shown.
First road noise was the first thing I noticed. These tires were so much quieter than the Altimax tires I was replacing. The traction is excellent. I bought them in the summer and I haven't had snow yet, but in downpour rain, they keep my van steady and true. If you drive a minivan or grand caravan and are looking for tires installed on the cheap, these beat every tire for quality and cost of installation anywhere.
I could not be happier with this purchase. I feel much more confident going down the road with these tires.
Was going to go with Michelins, but read iffy reviews on them. Very pleased with the Goodyears so far. Nice quiet tires that look good on the car. Best part is Walmart's vast support team with the road hazard warranty
Since I bought these tires, I have had a good experience so far. Installed them on a 2001 Honda Civic. My gas mileage has improved significantly and handling in the rain got a lot better. I do a lot of highway driving so the noise is not that bad like other people experience. Its seems pretty smooth too..overall not a bad tire for the price, although if I had the money I would get a Michelin Defender but these a good so far!
I have a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country that I purchased new and was equipped with these tires. I have read all of the negative reviews here and find it hard to believe that these tires are as bad as people say that they are. I think it's more of CONSUMER NEGLECT. I rotated these tires every 5,000 miles and always kept up with the air pressures and never had to have the alignment done in the 8 years I have owned this vehicle. When the 60,000 mile mark hit,the tires were down to 2/32 but were worn evenly.
These tires lasted well over 50,000 miles on a Pacifica. Good wet and snow traction. Tires are also quiet. If you're only getting 20,000 miles out of these it's because your car needs an alignment or new shocks. Great tire at an affordable price.
The tires went way above my expectations, 70.000 miles mostly all highway. good in rain and ok in snow since their on a rear wheel drive charger. ready for my next set.
Have run these tires for over 40,000 miles on an SUV. They have met my expectations and I would consider buying them again.
Great inexpensive tire actually. They hold the road very well, even in weather. Not too soft nor harsh they give a good comfortable ride. They are just a good cheap tire. One draw back I have found but its not that big of a deal is they tend to jurk side to side on grates and groved roads. This is only minor, but it happens none the less.
so far handles great and holds well in the snow would recommend to a friend
I cannot remember being so pleased with a tire purchase. Price, Ride, Road noise. All excellent.
I was wonderfully pleased with my experience purchasing my Goodyear Integrity Tires online and having them installed at the Walmart in Lauderdale Lakes Florida. Dorothy in the Auto Center was very thorough and handled the transaction beautifully. Dorothy is an extremely hard worker and takes her job seriously. The employees were also thorough installing the tires. The store and tire center was clean and streamlined in their operation. The tires are very quiet and the ride is very smooth. The price for the tires and the installation were a great value. I have recommended buying tires at Walmart to several friends and relatives. Thank you for a great experience.
Purchased full set 6/20/08: lasted almost 2 years started cracking after 15'000 miiles. Thread wore down to 2/32 in 2 years. Don't do it they are cheap tires for a reason.
I only got about 25000 miles on this tire until it was belly up. Not difficult driving but area is hot.

China Puts Jump as Dominance Shrinks: Options
China's shrinking dominance over global economic growth is driving trading in the options market, where the cost to protect against losses in the nation's biggest companies is the highest compared with the U.S. since 2008.
Wen Jiabao, China's premier, cut the country's economic growth target for 2012 to 7.5 percent this week, compared with the median estimate of economists for a 2.2 percent expansion in the U.S., according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That would be the smallest gap since the Internet boom in 2000, the data show.
Options on the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index of 40 companies from PetroChina Co. to China Construction Bank Corp. cost the most since the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. when compared with contracts on U.S. stocks. The ratio shows investors are increasingly bearish on the index of Hong Kong-traded China shares after it surged as much as 46 percent since October.
"Investors have gone back to worrying about a hard landing in China because of the lower growth target and fear that policy makers won't ease as much, as opposed to the U.S., where investors have become less concerned because recent data has been quite good," said Shane Oliver, Sydney-based head of investment strategy at AMP Capital Investors Ltd., which has $105 billion under management. "Negative news out of China tends to be jumped on."
Hong Kong's China Enterprises index tumbled 33 percent from Sept. 15, 2008, when Lehman filed for bankruptcy, through to March 9, 2009, the trough of a global equities slump that followed the collapse. The Shanghai Composite Index, whose shares overseas investors need government approval to own, gained 1.9 percent in the period as China's government unveiled an economic stimulus package then worth about $850 billion.
S&P Versus China
Since the 2009 low, the Hang Seng gauge climbed 63 percent through yesterday, while the Shanghai Composite gained 13 percent. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index doubled in that time and is now 8 percent higher than it was at the final close before Lehman collapsed. That's just two percentage points behind the Hong Kong index's advance through the same period.
Gains by Chinese equities have been damped by the government's efforts to rein in a property bubble that formed amid the easy lending and fixed-asset investment encouraged as part of Beijing's stimulus programs in the wake of Lehman's collapse. A recent rally coincided with two reductions in the reserve ratio requirements for major banks, the first since 2008.
'Too Excited'
"China is quite happy to let the economy slow," Nicholas Field, an emerging-market money manager in London at Schroders Plc, which oversees $255 billion, said yesterday by phone. "Traders got too excited in January and are now disappointed."
Implied volatility for 30-day Hang Seng China Enterprises contracts closest to the gauge's price cost 1.81 times more than equivalent Standard & Poor's 500 Index options yesterday, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The measure for the Hong Kong-traded shares was 2.02 times higher on Feb. 27, the biggest gap since two months after the September 2008 bankruptcy of Lehman, during the worst financial disaster since the Great Depression.
China Enterprises index options 10 percent below the index level yesterday cost 1.39 times more than contracts 10 percent above, up 20 percent from the Jan. 26 low for the price relationship known as skew, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
The index advanced 14 percent in January, the best annual start since 2006, amid speculation the central bank would relax monetary policies and the government would support stocks.
The gauge rose 4.7 percent in February, peaking at the highest level since August on Feb. 29, before losing 7.2 percent through yesterday. That pared its gain since Oct. 4 to 35 percent. The S&P 500 has added 23 percent since its one-year low on Oct. 3.

China unleashed a record 17.6 trillion-yuan ($2.8 trillion) lending boom and implemented a 4 trillion yuan two-year stimulus package to sustain growth as the world economy slid into recession in 2008. The effort left China accounting for about one third of global growth in the three years through 2010, according to Bloomberg calculations based on International Monetary Fund data.
As Wen's government raised interest rates, imposed property-market curbs and told banks to stem new lending, China's share of global expansion dropped to 24 percent last year, according to the Washington-based fund's data. The proportion will remain about the same this year, IMF estimates indicate. China's GDP totaled $6.99 trillion last year, compared with $15.06 trillion for the U.S., IMF data show.
Sustainable Expansion
China must shift to a more sustainable and efficient economic model and achieve "higher-quality development over a longer period of time," Wen said March 5 in Beijing at the annual meeting of the National People's Congress. His government reduced its 2012 GDP growth target from 8 percent that day.
The volume of Hang Seng China Enterprises puts traded jumped to 17,486 on March 6, 1.4 times the average for the previous 20 trading sessions, and rose yesterday to 19,869, or 1.6 times average, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Bearish trading for U.S.-listed exchange-traded funds tracking equities from China, Hong Kong and emerging markets also jumped after Wen's announcement. Put trades on the iShares FTSE China 25 Index Fund rose to 68,864 contracts on March 5, almost double the average for the previous 20 trading days, while it reached 586,597 for the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund, or 3.4 times average.
Put volume for the iShares MSCI Hong Kong Index Fund on March 6 was 11,460, almost eight times average, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
'Crash Protection'
"Some funds and hedge funds bought downside puts as a form of crash protection," Stuart Beavis, Hong Kong-based managing director of institutional equity derivatives at Cantor Fitzgerald LP, said in an interview yesterday. "Some for comfort, looking to unwind long put positions into a falling market. Many market participants have been looking for a 5-10 percent correction" following the rally in the Hang Seng China Enterprises, he said.
Implied volatility for 30-day options on the index rose 19 percent since March 2 to 28.67 yesterday, compared with a 17 percent gain for the measure for the S&P 500.
The lower growth forecast is no reason to sell, said Uri Landesman, who helps oversee more than $1 billion as managing general partner of New York-based hedge fund Platinum Partners LLP. China overtook Japan in 2010 to become the world's second-largest economy, behind the U.S.
'Pretty Bullish'
"It's reasonable that as you get bigger and more mature, the numbers are going to come down a little," Landesman said in a telephone interview yesterday. "China is an increasingly important part of the world. It's still one of the real growth engines. We're pretty bullish about the prospects there."
The nation lowered banks' reserve requirements in February for the second time in three months to boost lending and sustain growth. That followed five interest-rate increases from October 2010 to July 2011 to slow inflation, which officials are aiming to keep at about 4 percent, according to Wen's March 5 speech.
The HSI Volatility Index, a measure of options prices on the Hong Kong equity gauge, rose 1.6 percent to 23.99 yesterday, a one-month high. It dropped 6 percent to 22.54 today. In the U.S., the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, known as the VIX, fell 5.9 percent to 17.95 today in New York. Europe's VStoxx Index retreated 11 percent, the most since Dec. 9, to 25.10.
The number of outstanding puts to sell the Hang Seng China Enterprises versus calls to buy was 1.25-to-1 on March 7 and reached 1.27-to-1 on Feb. 24, its highest level since March 2011, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Put ownership jumped 8.9 percent this month to 188,322 contracts yesterday, while call open interest rose 3.9 percent to 150,943.
"China's got its own issues in terms of making sure it makes the switch from export-driven growth with more emphasis back on domestic consumption, and at the same time trying to moderate fixed asset investment and moderate property speculation," Tim Schroeders, who helps manage $1 billion in equities at Pengana Capital Ltd. in Melbourne, said by telephone on March 6.

Video: Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon Mock Hashtag Trend in Comedy Sketch
Jimmy Fallon collaborated with frequent guest star Justin Timberlake again for another amusing sketch on his show "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon". This time, they poked fun at the the current obsession with speaking hashtags out loud.
In the skit aired on Tuesday, September 24, the comedian and the singer/actor hung out in "Late Night" guest room, talking about homemade cookies, TV shows and their plans for Halloween. They created hashtags for everything they said, such as "hashtag [the sound of Cookie Monster eating]", "hashtag LOLOLOLOL" and "hashtag [Ray Romano calling for Debra]".
Questlove contributed to the hashtag speech, telling Fallon and Timberlake, "Hey guys, hashtag shut the f**k up," as the two guys got too noisy.
Just last week, Timberlake appeared in Fallon's sketch which flashed back to their 1995 summer. The "young" Fallon and Timberlake sang "Only Wanna Be With You" by Hootie & The Blowfish at Camp Winnipesaukee.
Hashtag (#) was introduced by Chris Messina into the Twitter lexicon in 2007, but it's just recently that people began saying hashtags out loud. Commenting on the comedy skit, Messina said it could be "a depiction of what the future is going to look like, which may be terrifying to some."
He added, "More and more I'm getting friends telling me how their kids are hashtagging everything that they say. The sort of prideful fear that I have is that what [Fallon] depicted is actually how teenagers are talking now.... That's not something I had really anticipated and now that I'm here I'm kind of like, 'Oh my God... what have I done?' "

Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Hometown: Shanghai, China
Majors: Music and Psychology
Favorite Ice Cream Flavor: Grapefruit
Best Adjective to Describe You: Devoted
In 10 words or less, why should a student want to be involved in this department?
Who doesn't love music?
What initially drew you to this department? What keeps you coming back?
I was initially drawn to the Music Department out of habit since I was involved with music since I was young, but meeting the department's wonderful faculty and staff members kept me coming back.
What's your biggest piece of advice to first years and sophomores in this department?
Don't be afraid of picking up a new instrument or learning new things about music! And don't be scared of the faculty and staff members if you have any questions—I promise they are all nice people.
How does your department connect to your other interests and activities?
I'm interested in pursuing Music Therapy in graduate school, which requires students to be knowledgeable in music theory, history, and various musical styles. Taking Psychology of Music with Dr. Tan was also interesting, because it was directly related to my double major.
What's the most valuable thing you've learned at K?
The most valuable thing I have learned at K is how to express myself. Whether it is verbally or musically, you need to commit yourself to your opinion in order to effectively deliver your message to the listener. But you also have to make sure to have an open mind and not shut out other people's expressions and interpretations, because those will add more color to your own.
What has been your favorite class at K? Why?
Psychology of Music, because it was so applicable but also a very curiosity-provoking class. I had no idea how closely music was related scientifically to the human mind until I took this class.
What is your SIP?
My SIP is a research-based SIP in the Music Department. I will be investigating the shifts in musical styles before, during, and after the Cultural Revolution in China by analyzing different musical compositions within the sociohistorical context of the time period.
What are your career aspirations/next steps after K?
I'm planning to go to graduate school for Music Therapy, but would like to travel for a year before starting the Masters program.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Gov. Kathleen Sebelius likes what she's seeing so far from legislative committees when it comes to education funding.
Spokeswoman Beth Martino says Sebelius is pleased both the House and Senate budget committees have endorsed her plan to use federal stimulus dollars to avoid deep cuts in aid to public schools.
But House committee Chairman Kevin Yoder, an Overland Park Republican, said all decisions will be reviewed again next week. That's when his panel will finish its work on a budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1.
Sebelius has proposed using $192 million in education dollars from the federal stimulus package in the next budget.
That will keep aid to public schools at the level in the current budget, as revised by Sebelius and legislators this year.

One afternoon, Wendy and Ashley, on a day trip to the 1800s, take a nice walk with their horse.
Suddenly a bee lands on Jackson's nose.
Wendy hurriedly shoos the pest away from the horse and Ashley, who is allergic.
But the bee alerted them to a pretty, daisy filled patch on land nearby.
The girls plop down and start picking some of the lovely daisies.
And while Ashley attentively gives the horse a snack...
Wendy makes a gift for her friend.
"This is for you," Wendy said, handing the daisy wreath to Ashley. "You should have something almost as pretty as you are."
"Aww, thank you!" Ashley exclaimed, placing the wreath on her head. "And I want you to have my bouquet."
So the girls spent some time just enjoying the lovely day...
The two girls and the horse, that is.
"We'll be friends forever!"
Before the girls head home, Wendy heads to the creek to get some water to refresh their horse.
On her way, she sees Taylor standing near a tree.
"Hello, Taylor!" Wendy called.
Wendy walked up to Taylor and then sat down, in need of a little rest. "Hello, Wendy! I've just been gathering apples for a pie... but I didn't really get enough," Taylor explained.
Taylor and Wendy returned to Ashley. Ashley and Taylor, who are very good friends, were excited to see one another.
"Ashley, you look like a princess!" Taylor exclaimed, taking a big bow.
And as she did that, one of her apples fell...
And Jackson hurriedly gobbled it up.
"Jackson!" Ashley scolded. "It isn't nice to eat things that don't belong to you!"
"Oh, don't give it another thought!" Taylor said. "In fact, why don't we all have a little snack? I have three left."
So the three girls sat in a shady spot to enjoy their juicy and tasty apples.
After their snack, the three girls take a little nap on the soft prairie grass.
Soon, the girls wake up and decide to ride home.

How Anti-Vaxxers Ruined Disneyland For Themselves (And Everyone Else)
"The Happiest Place On Earth" is ground zero for a recent measles outbreak centered in California. Now, unvaccinated people are being warned to avoid visiting Disneyland parks.
"The Happiest Place On Earth" is ground zero for a recent measles outbreak centered in California. Now, unvaccinated people are being warned to avoid visiting Disneyland parks.
This year, California weathered its biggest pertussis – aka "whooping cough" – epidemic in seventy years (for a whopping dose of perspective, see the graph up top). A new report from the CDC says the outbreak could be a sign of things to come.
The latest figures: Between January 1 and August 29 of this year, nearly 600 confirmed measles cases were reported to the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. The resurgence is the greatest the U.S. has seen since the disease was eliminated from the country in 2000.
Vaccination rates are up and have been for awhile. The public is more convinced than ever of the importance of vaccines. So, why are we hearing so much about the anti-vaccine movement? A new study delves into why — and what we can do about it.
The United States is in the middle of its worst whooping cough (aka pertussis) outbreak in over half a century, but few states have been hit as hard as Washington. This graph, released just a few days ago by the CDC, compares the state's pertussis cases in 2012 against those documented in 2011 — and the difference is…
You may be familiar with the surreal anti-smoking PSA starring Artoo and Threepio and the drunk driving spot which takes place on Mos Eisley (Bea Arthur would take your keys away).

- layer of protection analysis;
- mitigation;
- risk
Layer of protection analysis (LOPA) has quickly gained acceptance in the chemical processing industries and has risen to be one of the leading risk assessment techniques used for process safety studies. LOPA generally uses more rigor and science than what is encountered with qualitative risk assessments, while still not becoming overly onerous when compared with detailed quantitative risk assessments. In the interest of balancing time and resources against science and accuracy, certain tradeoffs and assumptions are made within the LOPA assessment. In turn, these tradeoffs and assumptions can lead to inaccurate conclusions.
For example, one issue that arises is with the treatment of protection layers associated with mitigation of consequences. LOPA teams have a choice to account for mitigation layers in the consequence assignment or alternatively treat these layers as independent protection layers (IPLs). Although this may appear to be an inconsequential decision, it can in fact result in very different conclusions. In the course of treating mitigation layers as IPLs, organizations must ensure the necessary inspection, testing, and preventive maintenance practices are in place for these layers. Furthermore, recognizing this dichotomy in treatment, one can also show that these mitigation layers should be designed so as to achieve a balance between consequence reduction and desired reliability.
This article discusses alternative treatments of risk mitigation layers that are commonly applied by LOPA teams and demonstrates their impacts through case studies. © 2011 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Process Saf Prog, 2011

First Farm Inn
The 1870s Room
Your spacious room with private bath includes an electronic fireplace and queen-sized bed with pillow topper. First Farm Inn's 1870s Room has tall windows overlooking the neighbor's pasture, a matching antique oak bedroom set that has been in Jen's family for four generations, and quilts made by our great grandmothers.
The Treetops Guest Room
Watch the stars come out as you relax on the queen-sized bed in this spacious room with private bath. Traveling with friends or family? The daybed and trundle add two single beds to the sleeping space in this room. And the big, two-room bath gives lots of privacy.
Our Treetops Room's impressive size comes from its original design to house three of the Stevens brothers who each were responsible for a different species of animals: cattle, sheep and hogs. The family emigrated here from Germany and built the house in 1870.
To the east is the big barn designed for cows where the horses usually loaf on hot days. The small barn was for pigs. The sheep barn, which is no longer standing, could be seen from the west window in this room.
Previous owners added the cathedral ceiling. Jen's great grandparents, whose photos are on the livingroom wall, originally owned the antique oak bed and washstand. We've been told the oversized bath was among the first indoor plumbing in the county.
- Single night rates for two guests sharing a room are $135 for the 1870's room and $144 for the Treetops room plus local and state taxes. That includes a bountiful, homemade, all-you can eat breakfast served hot and fresh each morning.
- Well-mannered, responsibly supervised children over the age of 5 and other guests sharing your room are $25 additional.
- Check in time is usually after 3 p.m. Checkout time is 11 a.m. Early check-in is an additional $25.
- Cancellations are charged unless the room is rebooked.
- Please call 859-586-0199 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., or email email@example.com
- Our insurance doesn't allow indoor smoking.
Take advantage of our discounts for staying more than one night. (Whether or not you enter the code, we'l charge you the discounted rate.) Enter these codes into the reservation form:
- 2 weekend-two weekend nights
- 2 mid- two midweek nights, starting Sun.-Wed.
- 3 mid-three midweek nights, starting Sun.-Tues.
- 4 mid- four midweek nights, starting Sun.-Mon.
Because additional people need breakfast and use additional towels and linens, there is a nightly charge of $25 for friends or relatives sharing the room with you.
Please indicate if you would like to ride horses so we can include that in our scheduling. You may ride as many times as you like for $55 per person for a two-hour ride. If you are the only rider, it's $60.
