text: (The following statement was released by the rating agency) LONDON, September 25 (Fitch) Fitch Ratings has affirmed Arap Turk Bankasi A.S.'s (ATB) Long-Term Local and Foreign Currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) at 'BB-' with a Stable Outlook. A full list of rating actions is available at the end of this rating action commentary. KEY RATING DRIVERS IDRS, VIABILITY RATING AND NATIONAL RATING The IDRs and National Rating are driven by the standalone strength of ATB, as measured by its 'bb-' Viability Rating (VR). The VR reflects ATB's reliance on substantial deposit funding from majority shareholder, Libyan Foreign Bank (LFB), and on trade flows between Libya and Turkey. The ratings also take into consideration the limited franchise of ATB within the Turkish banking sector, its specialist focus on the high-risk Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and high credit concentrations on- and off-balance sheet. The VR benefits from ATB's track record of consistently sound financial performance. ATB has developed significant expertise in trade financing between Turkey and MENA countries, in particular Libya. Other activities include correspondent banking with regional counterparties including Libyan banks, as well as cash loans to major Turkish corporates. Transactions with Libya, although high in risk, have performed well over time, and their high proportions of the bank's activity are mitigated by guarantees from large Turkish banks and corporates. Consequently, ATB's asset quality metrics compare well with Turkish commercial banks' and trade finance bank peers', as impaired exposures represented a low 0.4% of total credit exposure (total cash and non-cash commitments) at end-1H17. The main risk to asset quality is from high borrower and geographic concentrations in volatile economies. Deposits from LFB represented 44% of ATB's non-equity funding at end-2016, presenting significant funding concentration. However, this has been fairly stable over the years and has supported ATB's operations within the region. Other sources of funding consist of bank borrowings (30%), of which a high proportion is from LFB affiliates or related entities, and customer deposits (12%). Management intends to diversify sources of funding to reduce concentrations. ATB's capital adequacy ratios are adequate (Fitch Core Capital (FCC)/risk-weighted assets: 17.2% at end-1H17), but capital is small in terms of absolute size (end-June 2017: TRY757 million), especially given the bank's high credit concentrations. Capitalisation is supported by acceptable internal capital generation. However, capital adequacy ratios are vulnerable to an increase in risk-weighted assets from lira depreciation, given ATB's large proportion of foreign currency (FC) assets (81% at end-1H17), mainly in euros and US dollars. Profitability ratios compare well with trade finance bank peers', despite tough operating conditions (return on equity: 11% in 1H17). Margins are healthy (net interest margin: 4.7% in 1H17), but are expected to come under pressure as funding costs increase due to the focus on diversification. Integration with LFB group banks and a small branch network of seven help keep cost efficiency stable (cost/income: 39% in 1H17). The affirmation of ATB's 'A+(tur)' National Long-Term Rating reflects Fitch's view that the bank's credit profile relative to others financial institutions in the Turkish market has not changed. SUPPORT RATING AND SUPPORT RATING FLOOR The bank's '5' Support Rating reflects Fitch's view that support cannot be relied upon either from the Turkish authorities or from the shareholders. Fitch believes that support cannot be relied upon from the Turkish authorities, given ATB's limited systemic importance. ATB's Support Rating Floor (SRF) has been affirmed and withdrawn, as Fitch believes the primary source of any potential support would be LFB and not the Turkish authorities. Given the uncertain economic and political environment in Libya, LFB's ability to provide support cannot be relied upon despite a track record of past support for the Turkish bank's operations. LFB has over time shown a high propensity to support ATB, underlining the importance of the bank to the former's international strategy. As well as providing low-cost funding, LFB appoints key senior management (including the CEO) and plays a vital role in introducing business to its Turkish subsidiary. RATING SENSITIVITIES IDRS, VR AND NATIONAL RATING The bank's IDRs and National Rating are sensitive to a change in the VR. The bank's VR could be downgraded if ATB's strategic importance to LFB is reduced, through a substantial loss or withdrawal of funding or business, due to, for example, a change in the regime in Libya. ATB's VR is also sensitive to a material weakening of the domestic operating environment and the potential negative impact of this on asset quality and earnings as well as the sufficiency of the bank's capital and liquidity buffers. However, these scenarios do not represent Fitch's base case. Upside for the ratings is limited given the bank's niche franchise, high reliance on parent funding and exposure to the Libyan economy. However, diversification of ATB's funding profile and business model or significant improvements in Libya's operating environment could bring rating upside. SUPPORT RATING The Support Rating could be upgraded if Fitch judges that LFB is able to provide extraordinary support to ATB in case of need. This would be contingent on a more stable regime in Libya while maintaining the importance of ATB to LFB. The rating actions are as follows: Long-Term Foreign and Local IDRs affirmed at 'BB-'; Stable Outlook Short-Term Foreign and Local IDRs affirmed at 'B' Viability Rating affirmed at 'bb-' Support Rating affirmed at '5' Support Rating Floor affirmed at 'No Floor' and withdrawn National Long-term Rating affirmed at 'A+(tur)'; Stable Outlook Contact: Primary Analyst Mahin Dissanayake Director +44 20 3530 1618 Fitch Ratings Limited 30 North Colonnade, London E14 5GN Secondary Analyst Huseyin Sevinc Associate Director +44 20 3530 1027 Committee Chairperson Bridget Gandy Managing Director +44 20 3530 1095 Media Relations: Peter Fitzpatrick, London, Tel: +44 20 3530 1103, Email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

In issuing and maintaining its ratings and in making other reports (including forecast information), Fitch relies on factual information it receives from issuers and underwriters and from other sources Fitch believes to be credible. Fitch conducts a reasonable investigation of the factual information relied upon by it in accordance with its ratings methodology, and obtains reasonable verification of that information from independent sources, to the extent such sources are available for a given security or in a given jurisdiction. The manner of Fitch's factual investigation and the scope of the third-party verification it obtains will vary depending on the nature of the rated security and its issuer, the requirements and practices in the jurisdiction in which the rated security is offered and sold and/or the issuer is located, the availability and nature of relevant public information, access to the management of the issuer and its advisers, the availability of pre-existing third-party verifications such as audit reports, agreed-upon procedures letters, appraisals, actuarial reports, engineering reports, legal opinions and other reports provided by third parties, the availability of independent and competent third- party verification sources with respect to the particular security or in the particular jurisdiction of the issuer, and a variety of other factors. Users of Fitch's ratings and reports should understand that neither an enhanced factual investigation nor any third-party verification can ensure that all of the information Fitch relies on in connection with a rating or a report will be accurate and complete. Ultimately, the issuer and its advisers are responsible for the accuracy of the information they provide to Fitch and to the market in offering documents and other reports. In issuing its ratings and its reports, Fitch must rely on the work of experts, including independent auditors with respect to financial statements and attorneys with respect to legal and tax matters. Further, ratings and forecasts of financial and other information are inherently forward-looking and embody assumptions and predictions about future events that by their nature cannot be verified as facts.

Fitch receives fees from issuers, insurers, guarantors, other obligors, and underwriters for rating securities. Such fees generally vary from US$1,000 to US$750,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent) per issue. In certain cases, Fitch will rate all or a number of issues issued by a particular issuer, or insured or guaranteed by a particular insurer or guarantor, for a single annual fee. Such fees are expected to vary from US$10,000 to US$1,500,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent).

Go For Lasik!
The LASIK technology is very impressive knowing that LASIK has been tapped by the Department of Defense and NASA to help improve the eyesight of those who works in a demanding task and crucial situations. The result was amazing! 95% of the 100 military men showed an amazing 20/20 vision achieved. That alone tells how effective it is. LASIK has been validated to be safe and effective by the NASA and Department of Defense. You can get more LASIK information online and see if this is something you might consider.

Life with My Girls
Being a mom is tough! It's the toughest job out there and those who doesn't understand that should try it hands-on in anyway they can to fully know the nature of motherhood/fatherhood/parenthood. No matter how you try to be a good one, your patience will always be tested. No one can ever be perfect but we can all try to be a better one! Although, I enjoy being a stay-at-home mom, I also hope to become part of a workforce out there especially in times of money woes {never liked to ask or rely on hubby's salary alone} but if given really a choice between building a career or a housewife, I'd surely stick being a housewife {isn't it obvious?} and sometimes got the pressure from other people who tells me I need to get a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment and they think getting a degree and working out there is the only way. I respect their opinion but as I grow with my kids...it gave me the satisfaction that I've been longing for and I believe I have accomplished something really BIG by simply being a mother of two, nothing more, nothing less!

New Lib!
Well, I got different routine now being at the apartment but it's changing from time to time. Now that the farm house is totally unlivable with people working on our basement, electricity cut off and water, it's no longer a place where I do my laundry, hang out or even stay for the night. Well, I know time comes when we can totally reside there...
As of now, I try to explore what this city has to offer. Good to know there's one nearby Asian store where I can get my hopia in times of craving,LoL! One mall that I'm not really thrilled about but fun enough for my kids to hang out at their playground. Familiar stores - GFS, Sam's Club, Hobby Lobby, Walmart, Meijers and all that {well yeah, those are definitely everywhere!LoL} AND of course...the library! Now, I'm definitely starting to feel like one of the locals here!hehehe!

The Latest On The Boston Bombing
UPDATED - 10:35 p.m.: Monday's Boston Marathon bombings left 3 dead and 150 injured. Here's what we know so far.
Here's what we know so far:
1. There were only two explosive devices: the two that went off at the marathon's finish line. No unexploded devices were found. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Agent Gene Marquez confirmed the presence of two devices and called rumors of more devices "not true" in a press briefing Tuesday morning.
2. Three people have died. The first victim identified, an 8-year-old boy named Martin Richard, was running away from the first explosion with his family when the second blast killed him. The second victim has been identified as 29-year-old restaurant manager Krystle Campbell. The third victim has been identified as Lu Lingzi, a Boston University graduate student from China.
3. There were 176 people who went to area hospitals after the bombs exploded. Seventeen are in critical condition.
4. "A variety of sharp objects," including nails, have been removed from the skin of injured victims in addition to environmental debris. Doctors believe these sharp objects were implanted in the explosive devices. The doctors elaborated on the (gruesome) injuries they've seen since the bombings in a press briefing today.
5. The FBI forensic evidence recovery team discovered pieces of black nylon — which could be from a backpack — and what appear to be fragments of BBs and nails possibly contained in a pressure cooker device at the crime scene. All evidence is being sent to the FBI laboratory in Quantico, Virginia.
6. Prior to detonation, the explosive devices had been placed in black nylon bags and made to resemble discarded property. One of the devices was apparently placed in a metal pressure cooker (a metal kitchen pot with a locked-down top). The FBI has released crime scene photos of one of the bombs.
7. Boston police do not have a suspect in custody.
8. The Saudi national who was reported to be a suspect yesterday is in fact a witness who sustained serious injuries in the attack. The young man, a student at a university in the Boston area, volunteered to have his apartment searched and is fully cooperating with police.
9. Two bomb sweeps were made prior to the marathon's start.
10. The FBI has taken over the investigation, which they are describing as a "worldwide investigation." They are following a number of leads.
11. The Department of Justice doesn't know yet if the attack was carried out by an individual or a group (foreign or domestic). A multi-agency investigation has been established in Boston through the Boston Joint Terrorism Task Force.
12. The Department of Homeland Security says that there have been no indications that the attacks were part of a broader plot. In a statement posted to the DHS website, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano states, "There is no current indication to suggest that the events in Boston are indicative of a broader plot."
13. There are no known additional imminent threats.
14. Nobody has claimed responsibility for the attack.
15. President Obama will visit Boston on Thursday to lend support to the bombing victims.
As it happened: detailed live updates are posted below.
If you want to know anything more about the points mentioned above.
UPDATE - 11:10 a.m.: President Obama will deliver a statement at 11:30 a.m.
UPDATE - 11:28 a.m.: The Central Terminal of NYC's LaGuardia Airport was evacuated after a suspicious package was reported.
After an investigation, passengers were allowed back into the building.
UPDATE - 11:33 a.m.: The 8-year-old victim has been identified as Martin Richards.
UPDATE - 11:40 a.m.: President Obama delivers a statement to the press.
"This was a heinous and cowardly act and given what we know the FBI is investigating it as an act of terrorism." Correction: An earlier version of this post featured yesterday's statement from Obama. It has since been updated with today's statement.
Transcript of President Obama's statement:
"Good morning, everybody. I've just been briefed by my national security team, including FBI Director Mueller, Attorney General Holder, Secretary Napolitano, and my counterterrorism and homeland security adviser Lisa Monaco, on the attacks in Boston. We continue to mobilize and deploy all appropriate law enforcement resources to protect our citizens and investigate and to respond to this attack. Obviously, our first thoughts this morning are with the victims, their families, and the city of Boston.
We know that two explosions gravely wounded dozens of Americans and took the lives of others, including an 8-year-old boy. This was a heinous and cowardly act. And given what we now know about what took place, the FBI is investigating it as an act of terrorism. Any time bombs are used to target innocent civilians, it is an act of terror. What we don't yet know, however, is who carried out this attack or why, whether it was planned and executed by a terrorist organization, foreign or domestic, or was the act of a malevolent individual. That's what we don't yet know. And clearly, we're at the beginning of our investigation. It will take time to follow every lead and determine what happened, but we will find out. We will find whoever harmed our citizens, and we will bring them to justice.
We also know this: The American people refuse to be terrorized, because what the world saw yesterday in the aftermath of the explosions were stories of heroism and kindness and generosity and love, exhausted runners who kept running to the nearest hospital to give blood and those who stayed to tend to the wounded, some tearing off their own clothes to make tourniquets, the first responders who ran into the chaos to save lives, the men and women who are still treating the wounded at some of the best hospitals in the world, and the medical students who hurried to help, saying, 'When we heard, we all came in,' the priests who opened their churches and ministered to the hurt and the fearful, and the good people of Boston who opened their homes to the victims of this attack and those shaken by it. So if you want to know who we are, what America is, how we respond to evil, that's it: selflessly, compassionately, unafraid.
In the coming days, we will pursue every effort to get to the bottom of what happened, and we will continue to remain vigilant. I've directed my administration to take appropriate security measures to protect the American people, and this is a good time for all of us to remember that we all have a part to play in alerting authorities. If you see something suspicious, speak up. I have extraordinary confidence in the men and women of the FBI, the Boston Police Department, and the other agencies that responded so heroically and effectively in the aftermath of yesterday's events. I'm very grateful for the leadership of Governor Patrick and Mayor Menino, and I know that even as we protect our people and aggressively pursue this investigation, the people of Boston will continue to respond in the same proud and heroic way that they have thus far. And their fellow Americans will be right there with them.
Thank you very much. And you can expect further briefings from our law enforcement officials as the day goes on. When we have more details, they will be disclosed. What I've indicated to you is what we now know. We know it was bombs that were set off. We know that, obviously, they did some severe damage. We do not know who did them. We do not know whether this was an act of an organization or an individual or individuals. We don't have a sense of motive yet. So everything else at this point is speculation. But as we receive more information, as the FBI has more information, as our counterterrorism teams have more information, we will make sure to keep you and the American people posted. All right? Thank you very much, everybody."
UPDATE - 11:51 a.m.: Boston's Logan International Airport posts a statement about a plane that was grounded earlier this morning.
UPDATE - 12:03 p.m.: The White House will fly its flag at half-staff through April 20.
UPDATE - 12:15 p.m.: The Associated Press reports that the explosives contained ball bearings.
CBS News reports details of the explosives, citing a law enforcement source.
A law enforcement source told CBS News that one of the explosive devices appears to have been placed in a metal pressure cooker (a metal kitchen pot with a locked down top) which had been placed in a black nylon bag or backpack. Investigators also found pieces of an electronic circuit board possibly indicating a timer was used in the detonation of the bomb.
A law enforcement official told CBS News that the two bombs that exploded were made to look like discarded property. It is still unknown if one or both bombs were in garbage cans. One may have been on the sidewalk.
The bombs were described as "low explosive," but with "anti-personnel" packing. This is consistent with doctors reporting shrapnel pulled from victims. The official said there were apparently things like BB's, ball bearings and nails in the bombs.
While the explosions were fairly large, the bombs were made of "low explosives," the official said. Right now bomb experts do not think that plastic explosives were involved.
UPDATE - 12:30 p.m.: The Washington Post says that the injured Saudi man reported as a suspect yesterday is in fact a witness.
The Washington Post reports that the young man volunteered to let police search his apartment:
U.S. law enforcement officials said Tuesday that a Saudi national injured in the Boston Marathon bombing is regarded as a witness, not a suspect.
The Saudi, who is recuperating at a Boston hospital, is in his 20s and is in the United States on a Saudi scholarship to study at a university in the Boston area.
UPDATE - 2:00 p.m.: Second victim identified as 29-year-old Krystle Campbell.
Inside Medford first reported the story:
A 29-year-old Medford woman is one of the three victims who was killed on Monday in the bomb attacks at the Boston Marathon.
The woman, another victim, and 8-year-old Martin Richard of Dorchester were killed.
Krystle Campbell is a 2001 Medford High School graduate.
Yahoo! News spoke with the victim's father:
"My daughter was the most lovable girl. She helped everybody and I'm just so shocked right now. We're just devastated," he said. "She was a wonderful, wonderful girl. Always willing to lend a hand."
BuzzFeed spoke with one of Krystle's friends, who described her as an "angel" and "a beautiful person."
UPDATE - 2:14 p.m.: The White House has released another photo of President Obama at a briefing on the bombings.
UPDATE - 2:49 p.m.: Attorney General Eric Holder has released a statement about the ongoing investigation.
From the statement:
"Although it is not yet clear who executed this attack, whether it was an individual or group, or whether it was carried out with support or involvement from a terrorist organization – either foreign or domestic – we will not rest until the perpetrators are brought to justice. The FBI is spearheading a multi-agency investigation through the Boston Joint Terrorism Task Force."

"Yesterday afternoon, two explosive devices detonated in Boston, Mass., killing three and wounding over 150 people. We continue to keep those affected by this tragedy in our thoughts and prayers, especially the families and loved ones of those lost or injured.
I spoke earlier today to Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, Boston Mayor Tom Menino, Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis as well as Members of the Massachusetts Congressional Delegation—including Senators Elizabeth Warren and William Cowan, and Representatives Mike Capuano, Bill Keating, Stephen Lynch, Ed Markey, and John Tierney. I reiterated the Department of Homeland Security's support to the FBI-led investigation and the Administration's commitment to bringing whoever committed this act of terror to justice.
While there is no current indication to suggest that the events in Boston are indicative of a broader plot, out of an abundance of caution, DHS continues to keep in place enhanced security measures at transportation hubs, utilizing measures both seen and unseen. We continue to urge the American public to remain vigilant and immediately report any signs of suspicious activity to local law enforcement officials."

Associated Press reports:
The Chinese Consulate in New York says a Chinese national was among those killed in the marathon bombings in Boston, but did not identify the person. Boston University said the victim was one of its graduate students.
The Consulate also said in a statement Tuesday that another Chinese citizen was wounded and was in stable condition following surgery.
Phoenix Satellite Television Holdings, a Hong Kong-based broadcaster with ties to the Chinese government, said the deceased was a woman from the northeastern Chinese city of Shenyang who was a graduate student in statistics at Boston University.
A team led by Deputy Consul General Ruiming Zhong was in Boston to investigate the situation and assist relatives of the victims, the consulate's statement said.
The official Chinese news agency Xinhua reported that relatives have requested that the deceased not be identified.
A female Chinese graduate student at Boston University was misidentified as the deceased. Chinese media outlets report that the woman in question is conscious and communicating with visitors as she recovers at the Boston Medical Center.
UPDATE - 9:45 p.m.: The FBI has released crime scene images of one of the bombs.
UPDATE - 10:12 p.m.: The FBI evidence recovery team discovered pieces of black nylon and fragments of nails and BBs at the crime scene today.
Richard DesLauriers, FBI Special Agent in Charge of Boston, told reporters:
This morning the FBI, along with Boston PD, Massachusetts State Police, and ATF officially began its forensic evidence recovery effort at the site. Their goal was to recover physical items related to the blast. Those items have been recovered and sent to the FBI's Laboratory in Quantico, Virginia. There, specialized examiners will reconstruct the device and determine its makeup and components.
Among items partially recovered are pieces of black nylon—which could be from a backpack—and what appear to be fragments of BBs and nails possibly contained in a pressure cooker device. We are expediting this blast evidence to our Laboratory in Quantico, Virginia for a complete and thorough analysis.
In addition, this morning, it was determined that both of the explosives were placed in a dark-colored nylon bag or backpack. The bag would have been heavy because of the components believed to be in it. At this point, it is difficult to determine specific components used until we can eliminate other factors which may have been already present in the environment. In fact, that won't be known with some certainty until the Laboratory completes its final review.
Update - April 17, 10:00 a.m.: The third person to have died has been identifed as Lu Lingzi, a Chinese graduate student attending Boston University.

India is the 2nd largest producer of onion, in the world next only to China but the productivity of onion in India is very low i.e. 14.21 tons/ ha as compared to China and other countries like , Egypt, Netherlands, & Iran etc.
Maximum onion production takes place in Maharashtra state followed by Karnataka, Gujarat.
Production of onion is almost throughout the year barring one or two months.
Wide varieties of onions are cultivated in the country.
More than 45% of total onion production takes place in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh states which is very conducive for exports Three Agri Export Zones have been established in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh states.
Export facility centre along with modern packhouse has been set up to facilitate export of onions at Indpur near Pune.
An irradiation unit has been established at Lasalgaon (Nasik) to inhibit sprouting in onions.
Onion growers have been trained on scientific farming of onion in Maharashtra and in Karnataka (rose onion growers).
In Maharashtra state, MSAMB has disbursed subsidy to farmers for developing onion storage structures for prolonged shelf life
There is a good research support, as NRC for Onion and National Horticulture Research and Development Foundation are located in Maharashtra it self.

nudity reviews for Along Came Polly member submitted
Surprising nudity from the comedy megastar!
Ben has a cute butt, but nothing to go ga ga over. The scene lasts for about 6 seconds and is then over. At least we got to see some flesh finally from this comedic actor!
Butt in final scene - not body double
In the final scene of the movie, Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston go back to the same spot where Stiller and Messing were vacationing last year, and are greeted again by Hank Azaria (who is clothed this time around). As the two get up to go in the ocean, Jennifer is wearing a swimsuit and Stiller's... well, in his birthday suit. You get to see his ass for a couple of seconds before it cuts away. And the DVD commentary reveals that Stiller did that scene if it made the audience laugh (and it did, and was kept in the final cut). So it ended up in the movie and it's Stiller's actual butt, so don't worry about a double. Recommended for Stiller fans.
Hot nudist
In the begin of the movie we can see this hot man naked on the beach,we have a great shot of his muscular and hot ass.Soon,we can see he wearing speedo.Totally hot!He's a great muscular body!
French nudist
While Ben Stiller and Debra Messing are on their honeymoon, they are greeted by a nudist, hilariously played by Hank Azaria. We see his bare ass from a distance as he comes up to Stiller and Messing, and then a final shot of his derriere as he moves on to greet other vacationers. Might be a body double, but then again, maybe it's not.
nudist at the beach
He plays a nudist guy, and he is at the beach. Hank meets ben Stiller and his wife. He is naked, and you can see his ass, but it isn't much pretty. What's worth is his perfect body, principally his big chest. Hank appears in the beggining of the movie, shirtless mostly of time, also with a little sexy scene. This scene worth to see because of his body, because of this I gave 3 stars. In the end of the movie he apeears again, shirtless, and sexy, of course.

Although the UN-proclaimed 'Decade for Indigenous Peoples' officially ended in 2004, the continuing array of activities in support of special 'indigenous rights' shows that this movement has lost little of its impetus. In spite of criticism of the underpinnings and of the consequences of attributing special rights to 'indigenous communities' (Kuper 2003), support for them has remained strong – among NGOs, international organizations, governments, and scholars who do not agree with the criticism. The most notable event in this context is that after having failed to do so in 2004 the United Nations finally adopted the 'Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples' on 13 September 2007, with an overwhelming 144 countries voting in favour. Thus, there is little reason to suppose that the movement will run out of steam in the near future.

Times are tough. Many of us make our trips to the nursery with less to spend. But that need not mean less gardening — in fact, home gardening can be the essence of thrift. Here are some ways to get as much enjoyment out of gardening as ever on a lower budget.
1. Do it yourself. Cancel the lawn service and mow your own lawn (or make the teenager do it). Rake your own leaves. Do your own spring yard cleanup. You'll get some healthy exercise, pay more attention to your plants and what they need, and reduce the amount of greenhouse-gas emissions from your yard — as long as you resist buying any new power tools and do the raking by hand.
2. Sow from seed. Seeds are cheap. Many annuals, such as cosmos, sunflowers and marigolds, can be sown directly in the garden in mid-May, though they won't bloom right away like bedding plants purchased in flats. Try parsley as an edging. Perennials sown this season mostly won't bloom until next year, but you will be able to make a big splash for a fraction of the cost of a single 1-gallon plant.
3. Make compost. Don't pay for your suburb to remove bags of plant waste that could break down into the best of soil amendments. See www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/compost to get started. Use lots of compost in the soil of your vegetable beds and you'll need to apply much less fertilizer. Instead of bagging leaf clippings, let them stay on the lawn and break down. It's good for the grass and, contrary to myth, does not cause thatch.
4. Swap for plants. In spring, experienced gardeners in the neighborhood may be dividing their perennials or digging up surplus seedlings. Find something you can swap for them. It doesn't have to be plants; maybe it's home-baked cookies or errand-running. Be sure that the plants are appropriate for your site and soil, though; a plant that doesn't thrive because it's in the wrong place — or turns out to be an aggressive thug — can soak up a lot of fuss, bother and money.
5. Water wisely. Keep water bills low by watering only as much as your garden needs. Get a rain gauge and watch it. Water a lawn long and deep once a week, but only if there hasn't been about an inch of rain. Deep, infrequent watering encourages roots to go deep, where they can find water and resist drought without a lot of watering in August. If you have an irrigation system, learn to set the controls and set them intelligently. You could be wasting a lot of money by mindlessly letting the sprinklers go off too often.

China's Mao statue, the biggest of it's kind at 120 feet tall and gold in color, has been demolished.
The shocking photos of China's Mao statue being taken apart made their way like fire burning across China's popular social media platform, Weibo.
The reason China's Mao statue was demolished was reportedly lack of approval by the Chinese government.
Some businessmen and residents of local villages scraped together the three million yuan, which is about $450,000, to build the statue.
Chinese gov't orders giant Mao statue demolished. https://t.co/RyX27htIHo pic.twitter.com/Nt0a98kLqC
— Steve Milloy (@JunkScience) January 8, 2016
This photo provides a little more scale.
China's Mao statue, in all its giant glory was not to be enjoyed for very long before it was destroyed. It was only completed in December.
The statue was one of controvery, as controversy shrouded the man after which it was formed.
Chairman Mao Zedong brought about the hopeful "Great Leap Forward" economic and social reforms of the mid-1900's, but not without a price.
Many of China's people starved to death under Mao's policies, and most not far from where China's Mao statue was erected. However, Mao is still credited with uniting China during his three-decade rule.
Of course, this isn't the only depiction of Chairman Mao in China. Statues of China's Mao exist all over the country and there is the huge picture that looks down on Beijing's infamous Tiananmen Square.
In 2013, a 200 million yuan ($30.6 million) solid gold likeness was put up in a memorial hall in Shaoshan.
It unknown if the destruction of China's Mao statue stems from current President Xi Jinping. In the past, he has praised Mao as a "great figure" and revived some of his philosophies and has copied a Mao-style centralization of government power.
But, he also holds with the party's 1980s conclusion that Mao made "mistakes".
What do you think of the destruction of China's Mao statue?

1. From the start of a review of a new book about the founder of DHL:
James D. Scurlock's King Larry is a fun, trashy analog to Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs. Like Jobs, Scurlock's subject, Larry Hillblom, the founder of the express-delivery pioneer DHL, was a postwar California boy who bootstrapped his way out of his working-class background through preternatural drive and iconoclastic vision. Like Jobs, Hillblom flouted corporate convention by attending meetings in blue jeans and not giving a damn about consensus and social niceties. Also like Jobs, Hillblom had a gift for anticipating consumer needs before consumers did—and was rewarded richly for his prescience.Read on. (Here's the Amazon link.)
Yet whereas the cover of Isaacson's book is minimalist and Apple Store-austere, King Larry's cover assaults the eyes with the garish red-and-yellow color scheme of DHL, with a border of green palm fronds thrown in for good measure. It's a telling difference, for Hillblom's was not an ascetic, intensely art-directed life like Jobs's, but a messy, vulgar, and at times sordid journey. He is presumed to have died on May 21, 1995, at the age of 52, when the seaplane on which he was a passenger crashed in the waters between Saipan and Pagan, two islands in the Micronesia region of the West Pacific. While the bodies of the pilot and the plane's other passenger were recovered, Hillblom's never was, a circumstance that has encouraged conspiracy theorists to suggest that the DHL magnate is still at large, perhaps Colonel Kurtz-ing it up on some remote atoll.

3. From Gabe Delahaye's review of The Raid:
There's not actually a lot to be said about The Raid: Redemption. It was good! If I try to formulate why it was good into actual sentences, I sound like a child writing in crayon. "This movie was good and I enjoyed watching it. It had lots of action in it. My favorite part was when the one sweaty guy was in a headlock from behind and he kicked his legs out and flipped underneath the guy to throw him to the ground, but I also liked the part when the hero double-stabbed a dude and then kneed him through a wall, and then time when he killed him with a doorframe." See what I mean?4. The BBTS has Where's My Water toys available for preorder.

Anna Nicole Smith's Daughter Lands Guess Modeling Gig
Dannielynn Birkhead is a Guess girl just like her late mother, Anna Nicole Smith. The 6-year-old landed a modeling contract as the new face of the company's kids' campaign.
"To see her mom's picture next to hers as a Guess girl and say, 'Hey, I was a Guess Kids girl, my mommy was a Guess girl,' that might be her only connection with her mom," he said.
Guess launched Smith's career with a jeans ad in the 1990s, and Creative Director Paul Marciano sees Anna in his "second generation" model. "Dannielynn has the same playful spirit that her mother had on a set," he said in a statement.
Keeping that happy-go-lucky attitude is something dad Larry wants to preserve by living a normal life and keeping her in regular school. They aren't taking modeling too seriously.
"My goal for her is for her to be a child and just do what all kids do," he said.

Next week, on October 10, The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee will open hearings into what went wrong at the diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya. The committee will start by calling two witnesses: Regional Security Officer Eric Nordstrom, who was stationed in Libya from September 2011 to June 2012, and Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Programs Charlene Lamb.
Nordstrom is already spilling the beans; he has informed the committee in a private briefing that there were 13 threats made against the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya during the six months before the Sept. 11 attack.
Lamb, who is involved in reviewing security requests, may be used as a scapegoat by Hillary Clinton, who is working hard to cover her own behind, saying: "No one wants the answers more than we do here at the (State) Department."
Sure you do, Hillary.
Lamb testified in 2010 regarding the Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security's (DS's) programs in Iraq:
DoS (Department of State) will face many challenges as we take on roles and responsibilities currently provided by our military colleagues, but are confident we can sustain the robust security platform required to enable our government's foreign policy. However, in order to succeed we need to continue our use of private security contractors (PSCs). Carrying out this mission successfully will require the full utilization of all available security assets including the services of PSCs … The establishment of procedures to ensure that the U.S. Forces in Iraq (USF-I) and the Embassy are aware of and coordinate on all movements by each others' protective details … Embassy Baghdad and USF-I established procedures to respond to and investigate serious incidents involving protective security details, in coordination with the Iraqi authorities … Currently, DS utilizes the services of approximately 2,700 PSC personnel in Iraq, comprised of roughly 900 movement security personnel under the Worldwide Personal Protective Security II (WPPS II), and an additional 1,800 guards providing perimeter security to Embassy Baghdad and related facilities in the International Zone. In contrast, DS currently employs 1,800 Special Agents (direct-hire Government employees) to meet its global responsibilities. While we will continue to rely on PSCs, we do so with the full acknowledgment of the need for comprehensive oversight and accountability regimes."
Lamb knows the score; the question is whether she'll be asked to take one for the team. And now that Nordstrom has acknowledged that the embassy was aware of the external threat, somebody's head is going to roll.

Phenomenal Woman of the Week #2: Meet Msgana!
1. Name
Hi there, my name is Msgana, also known as MsganaWrites on the Internet!
2. Age
I am 21!
3. Where are you from?
Currently residing in Toronto, Canada, born and raised in The Netherlands but originally from Eritrea!
4. Describe yourself in 3 words.
Always hard question to answer. I would say ambitious, dreamer, and perhaps weird at times. (Oke a lot of the times, can't help it.)
5. Explain why you chose those 3 words.
I've always been very dreamy and ambitious, and always had bigger dreams than others could comprehend. I knew I was going to make those dreams true so for me they didn't seem too crazy, but I'd call myself that because others would see myself like that. Personally, I think dreaming big should be the norm.
6. What is something that you are passionate about?
I'm very passionate about using my life and experiences as a testimony for others. I aspire to inspire and I believe I can only do so by living a certain way and by helping others by being transparent.
7. Who is the most phenomenal woman you know? Why?
Oh, that's really hard. One woman? I have 2 amazing sisters and an even more amazing mother, so those women would be the most phenomenal women I'd know. Phenomenomal women I virtually know would be
VickyLogan from YouTube, for being an amazing example for this generation. Others I'd say are phenomenal women are Warsan Shire and Jouelzy. Completely different in what they do and who they are but that doesn't make them any less of a phenomenal woman. This question is really hard btw.
8. What does being a phenomenal woman mean to you?
It means that you are strong, but not afraid to show weakness. It means you use your wisdom for the greater good. It means living out your purpose. It means doing that with pride.

We are wrapping up a seven year, one million dollar clean-up of the pine beetle infestation. The thousands of trees removed have created a healthy, green forest with amazing glade skiing opportunities on all areas of the mountain.
This summer, our trail crew has cut remaining standing dead and found recently fallen trees. We have limbed and topped them, and sectioned the trunk wood into easy to carry pieces. Each firewood pile that is available to be taken is identified with a pink ribbon. Once you have loaded that section into your truck, please take the ribbon with you.
Even though a chain saw is not required, we ask that you bring a fire extinguisher, shovel and water. It is dry here in August, and vehicle exhaust systems or brakes can ignite dry tall grasses, so please be careful.
Just pick up a federal firewood permit for $5/cord at any of the following locations:
- Helena National Forest Supervisor's and Ranger District Offices
- Broadwater Market
- South's Country Store on York Road
- Capital Sports and Western
- Rock Hand Hardware
Note: most locations require that you purchase a minimum of 4 cords, so have $20 handy.
Then call Kevin 439-8742 & he'll show you where to go. After your 1st visit, come back and get some more!

When 30-year-old Kris Kubicki and his buddies got caught hacking into his high school school's locker system, little did the 4-H Rocketry state champion know he'd one day start a company with its roots in such creative data analysis exploits.
Today, Mr. Kubicki's firm, Dynamite Data, crawls the web for data on product pricing, store inventory, and other data clients use to dynamically alter prices, inform search marketing efforts, and deal with shoppers who browse in-store but buy elsewhere online.
Despite losing a scholarship to Cornell University, Mr. Kubicki landed at University of Illinois, another "great school" where he got his bachelor's degree in computer science. Working as a tech blogger while he got his degree, Mr. Kubicki began publishing regular guides on prices for computer memory, new video cards, and other computer products with regularly fluctuating prices.
"This is essential information if you're going to buy, like, 10,000 of these things," he said. It wasn't just buyers who were interested though. Sellers took notice, and began demanding the information for competitive intelligence purposes. In 2007, he founded Dynamite Data, and spent the next year writing the first iteration of the software that operates its data gathering and analysis.
Rounding up clients for the retail pricing data service wasn't easy at first, said Mr. Kubicki, recalling a tanking economy in 2008 and potential clients whose businesses were bearing the brunt. "It was tough to hear a 26-year-old tell you, 'You're gonna need this.' There were a lot of growing pains."
The Chicago-area firm is still scrappy, with only around 20 people on staff, according to Mr. Kubicki, who noted area retailer Abt Electronics is a client. The company is reluctant to name other clients.
As chief architect, Mr. Kubicki handles a variety of tasks from coding to business development and project management. But there's nothing more satisfying than coming up with a solution to a complex data problem, he said. "I like to see if I can solve the problem with my own hands….That's the kind of thing that's deeply rewarding to me."
Ad Age: What do you wish marketers would understand about what data scientists do?
Mr. Kubicki: Almost 30 years ago an internet pioneer by the name of Stewart Brand put out an aphorism -- perhaps the most famous aphorism regarding data science: "Information wants to be free. Information also wants to be expensive. Information wants to be free because it has become so cheap to distribute, copy, and recombine -- too cheap to meter. It wants to be expensive because it can be immeasurably valuable to the recipient. That tension will not go away."
People like me have been studying the meaning of just that phrase for decades, but the basic gist is that there are two simultaneous forces operating in the universe of big data: Haystacks are getting bigger, but the needles keep increasing in value. The right information at the right time just changes your life.
Marketers today have more access to information today than first-world presidents had just 10 years ago. In the case of Dynamite Data, your average garage startup can afford access to every price point and consumer rating of every widget ever sold in every country over the last five years. Just ten years ago, that kind of information would cost industry analysts hundreds of millions of dollars just to get an estimate. Data scientists are constantly trying to make information more valuable by adding other data points and using the insights to inform more decisions.
Ad Age: What's the biggest problem with data science people as they navigate the world of marketing?
Mr. Kubicki: Data scientists need to fully understand how marketers are using their data to make decisions. With our own clients, we find that the better we understand how they are trying to use our data, the better we can tailor our data to meet their needs. For example, if a sales manager is calling on accounts that are out-of-stock, they can't be relying on stock status information from the day prior. Or if a product manager is making pricing decisions on seasonal products, they need insights at a local level, as the situation in Los Angeles is likely different than in New York. Marketers often don't know what data is available, so it is up to the data scientist to help bridge that gap.
Ad Age: Home Depot recently purchased pricing data firm Black Locus. Do you anticipate similar acquisitions happening in the pricing-data-services sector? For instance, do you think more large retailers will buy firms like yours rather than partnering with them, and what are the pros and cons of a data -pricing firm working for just one retail client?
Mr. Kubicki: Walmart made a similar investment in 2011 when they bought Kosmix, which is now the heart of Walmart Labs. Given how strategic pricing is for retailers, I wouldn't be surprised if these types of acquisitions continue.
For firms like ours, there are advantages under either model. As a smaller company, we can remain nimble and bring additional data sources and uses to our clients. It may also be easier to attract data scientists and engineers, who often like to work in a fast-paced, state-of-the-art environment. However, as part of a client organization, our data expertise could be extended across both public and proprietary data sets, which could help address a broader set of decisions.
Ad Age: What's the coolest or strangest type of data set you've ever worked with, and why?
Mr. Kubicki: As an undergrad, I had to work this very complex set of data for a huge multinational airline. The goal was to create a model that would optimize boarding and deplaning. If I could shave just 10 seconds off the average boarding time, it would save so many tens of millions of dollars a year for the company. I had vast amounts data to solve this problem: customer ages, purchase times of day, luggage weight, weather, etc. All that mattered is that I used all that data to get people on and off the plane faster.
I holed myself up in a lab for a semester and worked on this for months. I ended up building a model that looked at the weight of the luggage being checked at the gate, and assigned boarding priority based on the average checked-luggage weight as the customers got to the airport -- the thought being if you checked heavier luggage early you'd have less to stow. It worked amazing and I had millions of simulated scenarios to prove it worked. I saved a full 15 seconds off each boarding, conservatively.
Unfortunately for me, at the same time this was going on the TSA decided to ban liquids. Near the end of the semester I found out boarding times had decreased by almost two full minutes as a result. Travelers were just checking their bags with liquids rather than deal with the hassle, thus, cutting down on boarding times. Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes the bear eats you.
Ad Age: What trends in data analysis and services are intriguing you lately?
Mr. Kubicki: Personally, I find Facebook's Social Graph very interesting. A few years ago we'd call these mashups, where a developer would take a few different application layers from different services and marry them up into something where the sum is greater than the parts. Facebook is attempting to do this in a very people-oriented way, but we're also seeing this with [Google Places] and [Dynamite Data]. These are massive data sets that legions of developers can work on for years without exhausting their value -- and yet these data sets continue to grow exponentially.
Past that, another really great trend is the "internet of things." People used to talk about convergence as if technology was going to stop once we got everything integrated into our smartphone-tablet-thing. But instead it looks like our refrigerators are going to know how many ounces of orange juice you have left, who drank it and possibly if it should order you more. Just a couple years ago your average consumer would lump that scenario in with werewolves and vampires, but today I can buy it from LG. I absolutely cannot wait until someone asks us to start looking at that kind of data.
Ad Age: What educational fields of study and professional backgrounds help develop the best data people?
Mr. Kubicki: Great data scientists are cross-disciplined and creative. They'll know a bunch of different programming languages you've never heard of, and some you probably have. Generally they'll have a math or computer science skill set, but it's not necessarily their primary discipline. Look at Nate Silver, for example: His background is economics. His counterpart on the Obama campaign, Harper Reed, has a degree in philosophy.
For me, the "X factor," really, is that creativity. Dynamite Data has engineers who led previous lives in disciplines like high-frequency trading, mineral exploration and network advertising. When we go to work on a problem, we can literally come up with a dozen ways to solve it before getting set on just one optimal idea. That same group of people then can take the idea and not just build the prototype but also the final product in a relatively short amount of time.
Ad Age: What's a common misconception about big data you'd like to dispel?
Mr. Kubicki: The thing we see over and over again is that someone at some highly regarded journal will say something along the lines of: Big data is great, but there's too much information and you can't possibly understand it. This is unfortunate -- the industry, media and management all conspire to keep big data inaccessible to the people who can benefit from it the most, often midmanagement and project leaders. Our job is to get this data to as many people as possible so that they can make their own decisions without getting lost.
Another particular pitfall we see is when a CEO or a CIO says, "Big data, let's get us some of that" just as if it's dim sum at a restaurant. The key is to make sure you know what questions you are trying to answer and how the data will inform a course of action. Big Data is a great tool to answer the hardest of questions. Big data confirms or denies your hypothesis. Sometimes you have to really contemplate: Are you asking the right questions to get the most out of it?

We are personal injury lawyers
Working to bring financial stability back to your life
Individuals who have suffered catastrophic brain and spinal cord injuries almost always have pressing financial needs for medical bills, lost wages and future care. But we've found that they're also looking for something more: answers.
Sponsored by Newsome Melton LLP, BrainandSpinalCord.org is a resource for brain and spinal cord injury survivors and their families to learn more information about medical conditions, rehabilitation, and legal options.
At Newsome Melton, we know a family's powerful bond can help overcome the challenges victims face after they've suffered a catastrophic injury—which is why we want to include you in our family. Our attorneys and staff at Newsome Melton give our clients the resources, expertise, and unwavering commitment that they need to find answers.
Our job isn't over once the lawsuit has been filed. We're with our clients every step of the way. We listen so we can become your voice. We listen so we can tell your story. Success isn't only about verdicts and settlements for us; it's about changing corporate behavior to protect families—yours and ours.
Complicated Matters, Simple Relationships
A lot of law firms will tell you how they resemble a family – lawyers, paralegals, and secretaries all working closely together, for years on end. We think that's a good start. At Newsome Law Firm, our family is just a little bit bigger, because it always includes our clients.
We don't pat ourselves on the back because we take your call. We know that for the cases we handle, and the people we work with – individuals and families who have suffered unimaginable loss – the attorney-client relationship has to be closer than that. Because we take just a few cases at any one time, we can give every matter, and every client, the proper attention. That means we don't just take a call. We sit down with clients, we advise and counsel, we ask for their input, we work as a team.
It's the Little Things
Our relationships with clients don't just soothe feelings. They wins cases. By working closely with our clients, and regularly meeting with them, we learn more about the events and circumstances that changed their lives. We pick up on seemingly small details that, in the end, often make all the difference.
We're able to better direct investigations that can turn up crucial evidence, or create strategies that prove more effective in the courtroom. You see, our lawyers all have one thing in common. They're not just there for you. They're there with you.
- 1
Only a few qualified cases at a time means your case will always get the attention it deserves
We limit our practice to only the most serious injury cases involving brain injury, spinal cord injuries or death. Because we help only clients with the most serious injuries, we don't have a "volume" practice, like other law firms who take anything that comes in the door. As our client, you will know and work directly with us, your lawyers - not just a legal assistant or paralegal.
- 2
Our firm has a track record of jury verdicts for brain and spinal cord injury survivors.
Our firm has received the highest peer review ratings because we win cases - not just through settlements - but in the courtroom and in trial with juries and judges. With a proven track record of litigating serious cases against big hospitals and corporations, the other side knows we have the financial strength to go the distance.
- 3
Specialized on brain & spinal cord injury
Through trial, a typical case will cost in excess of 150, 000 for things like expert witnesses, depositions, filing fees and exhibits. And this is in ADDITION to the attorney's fees. Most families can't afford to pay fees or costs so we handle most of our clients on a contingency fee basis. This means we front all of the costs and get paid from a percentage of the recovery. And if we lose (which fortunately only rarely happens), you don't owe us a dime for fees or costs.

After brunch on a Saturday afternoon at School Bakery & Cafe, J and I decided to head over to Ossington and do some work at a local coffee shop.
Their menu here seems like a normal coffee shop menu, but I'm pretty amazed as to all the different ways they have figured out how to get coffee into a cup. Depending if you're lucky or not, they will have something called the 'cold drip coffee' which actually takes 6 hours to brew.
(Photo from BlogTO, as it was not available the day I went)
But if you are out of luck, they'll have any other type of coffee you can think of. Whether it be a Pour Over or just a normal French Press.
I ordered a Vanilla Soy Latte (my new sugary favorite caffeinated beverage) and it was so good.
I'm starting to realize how good a latte can be when it's made with properly steamed milk and the aroma from the roasted coffee beans seeping through with every sip. Mmmmm.
Ugh, I have problems.
I love this area! I can't wait to come back on a nice sunny day and just stroll around the Ossington Strip.

Pantheon Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
To be honest, this is mostly a reminder for me. This is my custom build for Panth based on other build that I have experienced.
The main difference between my build and the others are the survivability of panth. Most of the other build relies on real low HP (about 1900) and no armor to help you survive.
Like I said, this a just a reminder for me, but feel free to try it! It really works for me.
Leave comment if you want on your experience with my build or about what is missing in it!

Have you heard of the phenomenon known as Pinterest? Think of it is as your playground, a huge bulletin board to "pin" your favorite recipes, organizational ideas, decor, blog posts and fashion tips. As I become even more addicted to this social medium, I have found my favorite things to pin are hair, makeup and outfit ideas. As I stare at my pins, I wonder why my own closet doesn't even remotely resemble the outfits that I love? The answer: accessories.
I think I just don't ever complete the look. I have the basics: a nice pair of jeans, a tailored jacket, a little black dress and a stylish handbag. But, I don't have the things that pull an outfit together and make it pop. Pinterest has shown me some great ways to makeover my wardrobe with some easy pieces like earrings, ballet flats, and scarves. In fact, I found this awesome hat when I was perusing the Rayovac Pinterest boards.
Source: facebook.com via Rayovac on Pinterest
So, why is Rayovac, a company specializing in batteries, pinning fashion ideas? After a recent makeover of their battery packaging, they are powered up and want to share the good news. From now through February 28th, you can enter for a chance to amp up your wardrobe (and buy some of those fashion ideas that inspired you on Pinterest) with a $500 Kohl's Shopping Spree, Rayovac batteries or a Remington Hair Straightener! All you have to do is "like" Rayovac's Facebook page and enter on the New Look tab.
Help celebrate Rayovac's new look by getting one of your own! Head over to enter the contest and then of course, follow me on Pinterest!

Drop in Rx drug spending contributes to decline in US healthcare growth: report
A sharply lower growth in the rise of prescription drug spending contributed to the slowdown in growth of US healthcare spending for the third consecutive year, the results of a federal study reported today in the Wall Street Journal shows. The government study, to be released today, is considered to be the most comprehensive tally of the nation's annual health spending. According to the results, the US spent $1.9 trillion, or $6,697 per person, on healthcare in 2005, the latest year for which data are available. That was a rise of 6.9%, down from 7.2% in 2004 and the lowest growth rate since 1999. The slowdown in prescription drug spending has been notable – spending increased only 5.8% in 2005, down from 8.6% in 2004 and a peak of 18.2% in 1999, the report said. The drop in drug spending was partly caused by as sharp deceleration in drug expenditures by Medicaid. Drug spending by Medicaid rose 2.8% in 2005, compared with average annual increases of 15.4% for the program from 1994 to 2004. To restrain costs, states have worked together to get higher rebates on certain drugs and steered recipients to use those drugs. The withdrawal of Merck's Vioxx also dampened spending, the report said. The study does not include data on the effect of the Medicare drug benefit, which was implemented in January 2006.

Bill Kristol Says No Fly Zone Not Enough: We Need To Attack Libya
Conservative Bill Kristol would have us at war with Libya, stating on Fox News Sunday that a no fly zone isn't enough.
KRISTOL: I think at this point you probably have to do more than a no fly zone. You probably have to tell Qaddafi he has to stop his movement east and that we are going to use assets to stop him from slaughtering people as he moves east across the country. We might take out his ships in the Mediterranean. We might take out tanks and artillery.Click here for reuse options!

The two most nervous times for cotton farmers are at planting and harvest. Duane Canfield believes the ability of PhytoGen's new cotton varieties to help farmers reduce their anxiety levels has led to an increase in Dow AgroScience's share of the U.S. cottonseed market to nearly 20 percent. Canfield was interviewed at the Sunbelt Expo.
