Apple makes more money in its App Store than Google does on its Google Play store because people are happier about spending money on apps they know have been vetted by Apple, according to an app developer.
DLP Mobile app developer Zak Tanjeloff told Wired: "The App Store has a higher proportion of quality apps, thanks to the approval process. That means developers can, and have, charged more for their apps."
He notes that iOS offers a "safe community that people trust"
People are also used to the App Store's payment process based on "years of iTunes downloads."
On the other hand, the Android store offers "no guarantee of quality or safety," he says, adding that: "There's a lot of counterfeiting."
A recent report from mobile app analytics firm App Annie showed that, while revenues for iOS apps are still four times higher than those of Android apps, the gap is beginning to close, however.

ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, N.Y., April 24 (UPI) -- Singer-songwriter Natalie Merchant will do a benefit concert for domestic violence victims in New York's Hudson Valley, the promoters said Wednesday.
The June 2 "Shelter Concert" at Bard College's Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts in Annandale-on-Hudson, N.Y., north of New York City, will benefit two Hudson Valley domestic violence shelters, Kingston's Washbourne House and Poughkeepsie's Grace Smith House, the event's website says.
Other performers will be singer Amy Helm, daughter of late rock singer-drummer Levon Helm of The Band; "mountain Motown" performer Simi Stone; children's music artist Elizabeth Mitchell and Tibetan-exile singer-songwriter Yungchen Lhamo, who sang duets with Merchant on the 1998 album "Ophelia."
Also performing with be the Bard Conservatory of Music's Kalmia String Quartet.
Merchant, who sang with alternative rock band 10,000 Maniacs before beginning her solo career in 1993, says she decided to do the benefit concert after seeing a One Billion Rising concert in Kingston Feb. 14.
That concert was part of a daylong event in 190 countries seeking to call attention to domestic violence. The "billion" refers to the call for a billion women around the world to join together in dance and also to the statistic that one in three women will be raped or beaten in their lifetime, or about 1 billion.
At the concert "I was confronted by a room full of lifesize cardboard figures, each with a sign that contained a woman's name, her age, hometown and the date she was murdered by her intimate partner. My heart stopped when I read the name of my town," Merchant said.
Merchant lives in a Hudson Valley town near the city of Kingston.
"In an instant I realized that the global issue of violence toward women was festering in my own neighborhood," she said.
"I decided to help connect these families in crisis with the members of our community who have the privilege of living in peace and security," she said.

Nitrogen occurs in water in various forms, including nitrate (NO3), nitrite (NO2), and ammonia (NH3). Nitrate enters waterways from lawn fertilizer run-off, leaking septic tanks, animal wastes, industrial waste waters, sanitary landfills and discharges from car exhausts. The burning of fossil fuels releases NOX compounds into the air that fall as acid rain (HNO3). Nitrates in water can cause severe illness in infants and domestic animals.
Ammonia is the decay product of animal proteins and is sometimes found in wastewater. Through the process of nitrification, ammonia in wastewater is oxidized to nitrite and then to nitrate by bacterial or chemical reactions.

Black Americans paid much closer attention to George Zimmerman's trial than white Americans did, according to a new survey from the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press.
It wasn't difficult to follow the murder case against Zimmerman, who shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla., in February 2012: News coverage of the trial was almost ubiquitous in its closing days.
But not everbody took advantage. Fifty-six percent of the blacks surveyed said they followed the trial "very closely," compared to 20% of whites. The telephone survey of 1,002 adults was taken July 11 to July 14. The six-woman jury returned a not-guilty verdict for Zimmerman on July 13.
Overall, 26% of respondents said they were paying very close attention to the trial, down from 35% in April 2012 when a special prosecutor brought a second-degree murder charge against Zimmerman. The trial was the top news story of the week for respondents, beating last week's Asiana airliner crash at San Francisco International Airport by 2 percentage points.
Black Americans have historically paid closer attention to race-related news stories than their white counterparts, according to Pew data.
For example, in a September 1995 survey, 44% of black respondents said they paid very close attention to the murder trial of former football star O.J. Simpson, compared to 20% of white respondents.
Sizable gaps between white and black respondents held true for other race-related news events, such as for Simpson's arrest in 1994, the acquittal in 2000 of four New York police officers in the shooting death of unarmed West African immigrant Amadou Diallo, and the arrest of Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. in 2009.
In the Zimmerman case, when the news first went viral in March 2012 that Martin had been shot and killed but no charges would be filed, interest level among black respondents was at 70% -- its highest level for any of the aforementioned events, exceeded only by 83% interest in the Rodney King verdict and the ensuing riots in 1992.
Twenty-one percent of black respondents in the latest survey said they watched "almost all" of the Zimmerman trial coverage, versus 5% of white respondents; that split was 24%/9% for Simpson's trial. Two-thirds of black respondents said they watched at least some of the Zimmerman trial.

What's the best way to save for kid's college?
Money Watch, a personal finance column that runs every Saturday, features a financial planner from the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors answering reader questions about saving, protecting and growing your money.
Q: I would like to start putting some money away for my young grandson's college education. Should I invest in a 529 plan, IRA or buy a life insurance policy for him? It would not be a large amount at first but the value would grow in time.
A: These three options for college savings have advantages and disadvantages that may or may not be relevant to you, your grandson, and your family.
An IRA, a life insurance policy and a 529 all provide the advantage of tax-deferred or tax-free growth. Growth in the IRA occurs tax-deferred — that is, all dividends, interest and capital gains are not taxed until withdrawal. If the IRA is a traditional IRA, you may also receive a tax deduction for the contribution. If this is the case for you, you will not pay tax on the contribution until it is withdrawn. (You should check with your accountant on the deductibility of IRA contributions.)
ASK MATT: How much do I invest to pay for college?
Growth in the life insurance policy is tax-deferred. If withdrawals are taken in the form of loans against the cash value, then those are also not taxed. Growth in 529 plans is tax-free, if used for qualified education expenses.
The tax advantages of each account type come with conditions, however. With an IRA, any distributions before age 59 1/2 incur a 10% penalty, which may be waived for education expenses by filing Form 5329 in the same year you take the distribution. With a life insurance policy, if distributions are not taken as loans, then any growth will be taxed at ordinary income rates. With a 529 plan, withdrawals for non-education expenses can be subject to both income tax and penalties.
Gift taxes are a second tax factor for some grandparents. The annual gift tax exclusion amount is currently $14,000.If your contributions to a 529 plan for a grandchild, when combined with all other gifts to that child during the year, exceed the $14,000 annual exclusion, you must file a gift tax return.
Contributions to IRAs and life insurance premiums are not considered gifts, however, any distributions from them to your grandson would be. Direct payments to the school are currently exempt from gift taxes.
Distributions from 529 plans are not considered gifts if used for qualified education expenses, however, contributions are. Grandma and Grandpa can each contribute up to the annual exclusion for a total possible contribution of $28,000 in 2013. 529 plans also allowing bunching of five years of gifts into one year. For example, if Grandma and Grandpa gave no other gifts to Grandson in 2013, they could each contribute $14,000 to his 529 plan ($28,000) and then bunch their annual gifts for 2014-2018 for a total contribution of ($28,000 x 5 =) $140,000. Ask your accountant how to report the bunching of gifts to 529s.
Besides taxes, another consideration is financial aid. If you think your grandson might qualify for need-based financial aid, life insurance policies and IRAs owned by you are not counted in the formula. But a portion of 529 accounts is counted.
Costs and fees are yet another factor to consider. Even small percentage costs can add up over 18 years. Life insurance policies tend to have sales charges, annual administrative fees, mortality fees and investment management fees totaling from 2% to 12%, depending upon the company and the policy. Ask your agent to show you a sample contract, pointing out all of the fees and charges.
It is possible to structure an IRA or a 529 account with funds that have no sales charges, no annual administrative fees, and very low investment management expenses (between 0.1% and 1%), but you should ask a representative to disclose all costs to you, as well.
Flexibility is important, too. For information about qualified education expenses for 529 and IRA accounts, see IRS Publication 970, or ask your accountant or a fee-only financial adviser. The list includes not only tuition, room and board, but also school-required computers, software, Internet service, supplies and activity fees.
If your grandson receives a scholarship, 529 funds can be returned to you without penalty, or, the 529 can be used for a sibling, parent or even your grandson's children. 529 plans are administered by each state, so there are at least 50 different programs to consider. It is not necessary for your grandson to attend a school in that state in order to participate in its 529 program. A Florida grandmother could open a Nevada 529 plan for her Ohio grandson.
Loans from a life insurance policy's cash value may be used for any kind of expenses. It is important not to begin taking loans before the policy has an opportunity to build up cash value, or the cash value may diminish too quickly. It is also more difficult to grow the value in a policy where the premiums start out lower and grow over time. Find out how the insurance company decides what interest rate to charge against your cash value for any loans before entering into a life insurance contract.
Your grandson is fortunate you are thinking of him at a young age. With a long time frame, you have many options. Consulting an accountant or fee-only financial adviser would be one way to sort through any other factors unique to your situation.

Michigan Football up to #12 in ESPN 2013 Top 25
ESPN updated their 2013 Way-Too-Early Preseason Top 25 to account for the impact of signing day and other recent developments. They moved Michigan up from 23 to 12 because of the Wolverines' strong class and Taylor Lewan's decision to return.
12. Michigan Wolverines
Previous rank: 23
With the way Michigan coach Brady Hoke and his staff have recruited the past two years, the Wolverines aren't just going to concede a Big Ten championship to hated rival Ohio State. Hoke landed a top-10 class for the second consecutive year, hauling in perhaps the country's best crop of offensive linemen. A few of the freshmen might have to provide immediate depth after the Wolverines lost three starting linemen. It would have been worse if star left tackle Taylor Lewan hadn't surprised many NFL scouts by deciding to return to school for his senior season. Michigan signed six offensive line prospects, including No. 2 guard David Dawson. They'll help pave the way for No. 5 running back Derrick Green, who might see early action, especially if Fitzgerald Toussaint is slow in recovering from a broken leg. Junior Devin Gardner takes over at quarterback after Denard Robinson departed. Gardner went 3-2 as a starter, completing 59.5 percent of his passes with 11 touchdowns.
Other Big Ten teams:
3. OSU (previously 4)
23. Nebraska (20)
24. Northwestern (22)
Say good-bye to Wisconsin, which lost coach Bret Bielema to Arkansas and hired former Utah State coach Gary Andersen to replace him, and USC, which remains a mess under coach Lane Kiffin.

Option For The Lonely Lyrics
Some say that the world is falling apart. Wouldn't you agree with that?! Baby we already know that the world is dead to us. Let us return the favor. By putting an end to all of this. Living a lie is more painful than the truth. There are more things worse than death and one of them is you. My mistake for carving my name inside your head. You're the only person, the only one I regret. This is not what I promised to myself. Death seemed like the only option. I have fallen for this many times before. You tell me its one thing and now its the other. Thanks to you, I'll never be the man I once was. Do I dare ask, "How does that make you feel?" Yours truly, "I'm the one who got away." My heart turns to ashes... I am buried with her taste.

September 2, 2009
Atlanta, GA – Dr. Alveda King, Director of African American Outreach for Priests for Life and niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said today that the Justice Department's new drive to investigate the possibly racist policies of federal fund recipients should include Planned Parenthood.
"The acting head of the Obama administration's Civil Rights Division wants to crack down on groups that receive federal money and whose policies have a negative impact on minorities," said Dr. King. "I can save her a lot of time. All she has to do is look at the abortion industry and its leading money maker, Planned Parenthood, to find suspicious characters."
"I would say wiping out one-quarter of the African American population qualifies as a negative impact on a minority group," added Dr. King. "There is no greater violator of civil rights than the abortion industry and if the Obama Justice Department is serious about investigating discrimination perpetrated by recipients of federal money, it should start with the billion dollar abortion giant, Planned Parenthood."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org

NEW YORK, Jan. 27 (UPI) -- Patrick Patterson nailed a go-ahead basket with 6 seconds left in the game Monday, elevating the Toronto Raptors over Brooklyn 104-103.
Patterson began the decisive possession when he stole an inbounds pass from Deron Williams in the backcourt with 12 seconds remaining and sent it to Kyle Lowry.
After Lowry was double-teamed near the top of key, he passed it back to Patterson, who was true from short range.
The Nets held on for the win when Paul Pierce's 3-point try bounced off the rim.
Lowry led Toronto with 31 points, seven assists, five rebounds and five steals.
Jonas Valanciunas added 20 points and 13 rebounds as the Atlantic Division-leading Raptors stretched their lead over second-place Brooklyn to 2 1/2 games.
Pierce fired in seven 3-pointers en route to a season-high 33 points for Brooklyn, which had its five-game winning streak snapped.
Andray Blatche had 20 points in a reserve role.

Given that it doesn't air until around July 12th and it's a Media Factory series(which means it will have at least a day's delay), you may be waiting a few weeks for that annoucement(longer if Funimation gets it).

'Hunger Games' activist freed on bail in Thailand
BANGKOK (AP) — An activist who spearheaded silent protests against Thailand's military coup, including a campaign featuring a three-fingered salute inspired by "The Hunger Games," has been freed on bail after a monthlong detention, police said Wednesday.
Sombat Boonngam-anong was released Tuesday on conditions that he not incite unrest or travel overseas without permission from authorities after posting a 300,000 baht ($9,250) bail, said police Col. Kittirat Noiponthong.
The 46-year-old was freed by a military court Monday after his June 5 arrest in eastern Thailand. He was then taken to Roi Et province, 510 kilometers (320 miles) northeast of Bangkok, for an interrogation in a separate case of anti-monarchy defamation, which could result in a prison term of up to 15 years.
Kittirat said that Sombat will have to report to police in Roi Et every month.
Sombat faces several charges, including inciting division by organizing protests, defying the junta's summoning order, and violation of the Computer Crime Act. A long-time activist, he used social media to organize groups to come together on Sundays for peaceful protests and spearhead the "Hunger Games"-inspired three-finger salute campaign following the May 22 coup, even as he was in hiding.
The number of protesters has now dwindled following a show of force and crackdown by police and soldiers.
Sombat was one of the first people to organize protests against a previous coup in 2006, and became known for his imaginative and non-violent tactics. He was associated with the so-called Red Shirt movement, which supported Thaksin Shinawatra, the prime minister who was ousted in 2006, and more recently his sister Yingluck Shinawatra, who was forced out of office by a court ruling months before the coup.

Centennial Playground now open
Community leaders, Rotarians and families with children of all abilities gathered Tuesday, Sept. 24, at 600 Crockett St. in Beaumont at 5 p.m. for a Chamber of Commerce ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the grand opening of the Beaumont Rotary Centennial Playground. The playground was designed to enable children of all abilities to play safely together.
"We are thrilled to give this wonderful gift to Southeast Texas children and their families in recognition of the Beaumont Rotary Club's centennial year," said past Rotary Club president Becky Mason, who was instrumental in the planning of the park. "It is unique in that children of all capabilities, including those with special needs, can play alongside their able-bodied siblings and friends."
Elizabeth Schreck of the Beaumont Children's Museum, who assisted in the grant-writing necessary to acquire funds for Centennial Playground, said she has a son with special needs who will now be able to play with his siblings and friends of varying abilities.
"I have a son with Down's syndrome (Timmy), and he's got a bunch of disabled little buddies. We would go on field trips and all the students in wheelchairs would be sitting outside the playground watching all the other children play. I thought, 'Hmmm. That's not right.'"
Becky Mason's husband, Chuck Mason of Mason Construction, helped plan and build the park, laying concrete, installing equipment and more. Rotarians from all over the area volunteered and assisted with the building of the playground. More than 200 individuals, local charitable foundations, businesses and organizations provided financial support for the project.
According to information provided by the Rotary Club of Beaumont, the playground is unique to the area and "the only one of its kind between Houston and Lake Charles." The park has one entrance and exit so parents can monitor the comings and goings of their children. Wheelchair accessibility throughout the park allows children once confined to the sidelines to join friends on the playground and utilize the equipment. Schreck said the future Beaumont Children's Museum will be adjacent to the playground, so she is sure children visiting the museum will enjoy having the park so nearby.
Joni Copty of Lumberton brought her son Maher, who is "differently-abled," to the playground for the grand opening. She said she only knows of one other facility where children of varying abilities can play together on the same playground, and it is located in San Antonio (Morgan's Wonderland). She is thrilled to have this playground so close to home. Copty said she has two other children, as well, and she loves the fact they can all play together.
"To have something like this that is accessible to the entire community is just great for kids who have all different types of abilities," Copty said.

What an awesome spring day for a ride! Mid-60s, a few clouds, a bit of a breeze blowing in from the coast and a playground of fantastic roads snaking through our coastal hills. Finally, a chance to push the legs; the last few weeks have seen no rides of greater distance than the 31 miles on Tuesday & Thursday mornings, and like a car that's been sitting around too long, or not driven at speed, my body felt like it really needed a thorough thrashing to cleanse itself of weeks of built-up muck.
The "normal" ride would be a simple coast loop, out to Pescadero, across Stage Road and then back via Tunitas. Done that, probably 100+ times. We needed to do something more today, something that we'd feel in our legs the rest of the day. Over Old LaHonda, out to San Gregorio (a nasty drag into a headwind), south on Stage to Pescadero, then back via Haskins and, for fun, West Alpine.
I thought about holding Kevin back, telling him we should take it easy up Old LaHonda, but the way he tore up the first couple hundred meters, I realized he was on a mission. But about 1/3rd of the way up I saw him pulled over and yes, my first thought was darn, he had a seizure. Nope. He was being civilized and seeing if two women at the side of the road needed help.
Being me, of course I don't remember their names, but Kevin tells me the one with the flat was Susan. Very nice people (aren't most cyclists?) younger than me (isn't everybody?) but still looking for women on bikes Kevin's age (Susan and her friend had a bit more "life experience" than the 18-21 year old he'd like).
I pulled a lot of little pieces of glass out of her tire; please, make sure you inspect your tires after a ride and if you see any little cuts at all, let the air out and squeeze the tire so you can make sure there's no embedded glass. Chances are there's more, and if it stays in your tire, it will eventually push through and cause a flat.
From there Kevin rocketed on ahead, determined, even though he no longer had a Strava time to shoot for, pushing himself as hard as he could. Go figure. Me? I'd think this was an opportunity to take it easy.
The ride out to the coast was not easy though, pushing against a fair headwind most of the way, and then, a couple miles out from San Gregorio, right when I was getting into a groove and pushing into the wind pretty well, my front tire went flat (looks like the cardboard from a tube box, which I'd used to reinforce a tiny spot where a piece of glass had gone through, actually wore a small hole in the tube). Yes, I admit it, I used one of Kevin's CO2 cartridges instead of my hand pump! Saved a lot of time. The repair to the tire did cost me $5 though. 🙂
Stage Road, with a slight tailwind, was fun. It was clearly an opportunity to try and post some new best times, which we did, on both the first and second climbs. The fairly-gentle grades work well for me; my breathing won't keep up on anything over 5%. Glad I had my chance on Stage Road, because that was the only time I could hold my own against Kevin; the subsequent climbs up Haskins and West Alpine were rude formalities, as he established a new personal record on West Alpine 5 minutes better than anything he'd done before (which just happened to be 5 minutes faster than I climbed it today).
I've said it before, I'll say it again. Life goes by at just the right speed on a bike. You don't notice the smell of breakfast when you drive past a house in a car. You don't see the snakes in the road that need to be picked up before a car runs over them. You don't
notice the red-tailed Hawks circling overhead a bit up the road, which might just happen to correspond with another rider on the climb. And you smugly think that those people who drive up to Skyline, to admire the view from the scenic overlook… do they really appreciate it? They're just looking at it, while those of us on bikes… we're part of it. But that didn't stop Kevin from admiring the view of the two young women admiring the view in the photo.
67 miles, just over 6700ft of climbing, and yes my legs hurt when I walk down stairs. It feels "good" to hurt like that. I'm going to get more of that "good" feeling.

EDT:Compiler Settings Introduction
You can configure the compiler and generators for your EGL applications at a project or package level. The settings in the parent level will be inherited by the children unless they are not changed.
Compiler setting in the New EGL Project Wizard
In the EGL Project wizard (File > New > EGL Project), four types of project templates are available. The EGL project wizard provides compiler and generator defaults based on the project template selected. The Hello World project template is a sample which uses both the Java and JavaScript generators by default. The other templates allow you to specify the generators you want to use. In most cases you can follow the default settings created by the New EGL Project wizard, and you won't need to configure the settings manually if you follow the usage conventions for packages.
A project created using the Basic template uses both the Java and JavaScript generators. EGL source files in a basic project will be generated into both Java and JavaScript.
The Web 2.0 client application template has a single package named client configured with JavaScript generator by default. Only JavaScript will be generated for the EGL source files in this project.
A project created with the Web 2.0 client application with services template contains 3 packages; client, server, and common. The client package is configured with JavaScript generator. The server package is configured with the Java generator. The common package is configured with both the Java and JavaScript generators. You can put the EGL source files in different packages depending on the purpose of each file. For example, if a type is referenced in both the client and server packages, then the type should be put into the common package.
You can check Override generation settings from workspace preferences to override the settings for the project.
<insert image of compiler setting page>
Compiler settings in the Properties
You can view or edit the compiler and generator settings by right-clicking Projects or Packages > Properties > EGL Compiler. Also, you can specify whether the project or package is allowed to change the settings in this window. Please refer to the screen shot below to see the compiler settings for a package.
Set default compiler and generator setting for your workspace
You can set the default generator folder for the Java and JavaScript generators by clicking Windows > Preferences > EGL > Compiler > EDT. You can specify a different generator folder for the Java and JavaScript generators.
Extending EDT compiler and generators
EDT is designed for extensibility, which means that you can extend the EDT framework with your own compilers and generators.

Gerard Smith
Bassist-keyboardist for TV on the Radio
Gerard Smith, bassist-keyboardist for the Brooklyn-based art-rock group TV on the Radio, died Wednesday after a battle with lung cancer, the band announced on its website. He was 36.
Although he "acted like this accidental musician, the visual artist who got dragged into a friend's band, he was very serious about TV on the Radio," Charles Aaron, music editor of Spin magazine, said in a statement.
He "was adamant about not letting people define them as 'black rock,' " Aaron said.
Smith, like the band's other members, had a background in visual arts as well as music. He grew up in
, N.Y., and was performing in the
subways in 2005 when frontman
recruited him for TV on the Radio.
The group is known for an eclectic style that encompasses elements of electronic, alternative rock and funk.
"There's not a moment when the band isn't reading or writing or doodling or drawing, or coming up with new ideas," Smith said in a 2006 interview with the Australian newspaper the Age. "They're all extreme bibliophiles, and I think you can hear that."
Smith contributed to the 2006 album "Return to Cookie Mountain" and the 2008 follow-up "Dear Science."
He was unable, however, to join the band on tour in March to promote its latest album, "Nine Types of Light." The band has canceled its next few tour dates.

World Trade
World merchandise exports have more than tripled over the last two decades and reached US$18 trillion (in current prices) in 2012, with a quarter of that trade comprising exports among developing countries - so-called "South-South" trade -- which reached a record $4.7 trillion, according to the UNCTAD Handbook of Statistics 2013.
Total developing economies' exports now account for 45 per cent of the world total, with half of the increase in global exports between 1995 and 2012 accounted for by developing countries.
The share of South-South trade in total world exports has doubled over the last 20 years, to over 25 per cent. Fuels and manufactured goods now account for roughly 25 per cent and 58 per cent of South-South trade, respectively.
The Handbook helps to document that the South-South trend has been led by developing Asia, followed by developing America. Intra-regional trade within developing Asia amounted to $3.5 trillion in 2012. The Handbook also reports that the growth of the South-South commerce was higher in developing Africa between 1995 and 2012 than in the developing regions of Asia and America. Moreover, South-South trade from least developed countries (LDCs) in Africa climbed significantly in value over the figure for 1995. African LDCs have increasingly benefited from commercial exchanges with developing Asia.
China's exports to other developing countries, recorded at $1 trillion last year, alone represent more than 20 per cent of developing countries' intra-trade. Apart from China and major petroleum and gas exporters, Viet Nam, Egypt, India, Turkey, Peru, Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, and Chile are among the economies that have expanded the most in the South-South trade during last two decades.
Manufactured goods classified chiefly by material and miscellaneous manufactured articles hold the second highest share, 19 per cent of total South-South trade, after fuels (25 per cent), followed by parts and components for electrical and electronic goods, which accounts for 15 per cent.

Developing economies have also been gaining market share in international trade in services, Handbook figures show. The share of exports from developing countries grew from 22 per cent of the world total in 1995 to 30 per cent in 2012. Services-sector exports from these countries increased by almost 8 per cent in 2012, while they expanded by 6 per cent in the transition economies. At the same time, practically no growth was observed in services exports from developed countries last year. In construction and travel exports, developing economies now hold over 40 per cent of the global market. Their importance is also growing in transport and in computer services trade. However, developing and transition countries do not account for much of global trade in financial services or in trade related to intellectual property (royalties and license fees).

Along with providing detailed statistics on international merchandise and services trade, the updated Handbook covers investment, commodity prices, maritime transport, and other economic and social data, for all individual economies for which data are available. In addition, it includes figures for geographical regions, various economic groupings, and world totals. The Handbook aims each year to provide data for the analysis and evaluation of world trade, investment, international financial flows, and development. To the extent possible, UNCTAD provides estimates to fill in data gaps in order to furnish the most complete datasets.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Taking in the Trash
Head over to Ray's place on Denver Avenue near the south end of Algonquin. When you arrive, you'll have a brief conversation with him before an unknown female walks into the restaurant. This appears to be a girlfriend of Ray's, and she's all iced out, having just smoked some crystal meth. Ray's angry at her, but he also has his own business to attend to, and he dispatches Niko to go meet some friends of his that have some valuables for you to transport. And just like that, he sends you on your way.
Once outside, you'll identify a turquoise dot on the HUD that represents the location of the truck. Thankfully, it's really close by, so you don't even need to boost a car to get there. Simply run south along Denver Avenue the rest of the way towards the next block, and then swing right (eastbound) along Emerald Street, bearing northward back into the first alley you approach. Head down the alley towards the garbage truck, where Ray's friends will automatically intercept you. After some brief introductions, they'll instruct you to get into the truck and be on your way. You're driving!
The first stop we have to make is over in Chinatown, due east on Emerald Street. Swing southward from your current location and head east down Emerald Street, driving into the waiting yellow arrows there. This will let you pick up the first of two diamond drops. You'll have to follow the on-screen prompts to open and close the trash compactor, so make sure to do that before heading to the second point, on Hematite Street. (The GPS will get you to both areas). When you arrive at the second point, however, you will have attracted some company. It's time to make a getaway!

Style # 221617
A studded chenille sweater with a ribbed hemline and 3- button front. Features cozy material with a fitted bodice. You'll sizzle at the club when you pair this sweater with our Taryn Lace Up Thigh High Boots. Don't settle!
- 100% Polyester
- Imported
- Hand wash
- Center back to hem: 17" (43 cm)
- Model is 5'9" and wearing a US size S
Studded Chenille Sweater is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 4 out of 5 by TinyMK1 from Comfy and chic I ordered this sweater back when they still had the black. I thought it was an amazing deal, and the sweater is absolutely adorable with the studded rhinestones. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five, was because they neglect to tell you that it is a LOGO sweater (in rhinestones also). I'm not seeing it on the white while zooming in, but I can't imagine it would be different than the black. A great bonus if you like logo stuff, but I don't ever like to advertise any logos on me (my Chanel sunglasses the Cs on the side are so tiny and made of twill that you can't even see them - they blend in - can't stand looking like a walking advertisement). I wish I'd known this when I bought it because I'll most likely just wear it around my house. Even when I worked for bebe I never bought logo stuff unless I was buying clothes for the gym. Just feel it's something they could have mentioned in the description or better yet, in the title. (I just noticed now that many other reviewers have the same complaint.)
Date published: 2014-06-29
Rated 5 out of 5 by lunarlady from Most favorite sweater! This is the warmest, softest sweater I have ever bought. The touch of sparkle achieved by the rhinestones sleeves is my favorite part! Perfect mix of glam and comfort. I bought it in both black and white. Love them :) purchased in a small and it was perfect!
Date published: 2013-11-22
Rated 5 out of 5 by BEBEgirl2B from Fits perfect I am giving this 5 stars because the fit and feel of the sweater is perfect. I love the full length sleeves and bling on it. I actually love the BEBE logo on this and is part of the reason I purchased it. I think it ads sexiness to the sweater having the shiny bebe logo. This is a 5 star fit for my winter wardrobe.
Date published: 2013-11-21
Rated 3 out of 5 by ladyAlexis from The sweater is adorable but no need for the BeBe logo I agree with the first review- no need for the BeBe logo! The material is very soft and comfortable. The style is very feminine and can be worn with a leggings or jeans. I would purchase the sweater and many other items if the logo was not on it (except for BeBe Sport, I don't mind the logo on it).
Date published: 2013-11-15
Rated 3 out of 5 by fashioncrystalp from cute but sans the logo Overall, i LOVE everything bebe has and i love this shirt, but, why the logo on it? I think about that with most of the stuff bebe has the logo on. i'd like it more if the logo wasn't sprawled across the chest or somewhere. i love bebe but don't need to be a walking billboard. the velvet dress, the jumpsuit, i would buy all of them, if it didn't have the logo.

"Excuse me while I kiss the sky." Jimi Hendrix singing Purple Haze
Like his namesake, Hendrix the Afghan Hound was a rock star, dazzling the masses with his attitude and impressive looks. Like his namesake, Hendrix (AKC registered name Paladin's Purple Haze) "kissed the sky" in many ways, and continues to do so after his death at age 14. Hopefully, he will be the inspiration for a designated fund to support senior Afghans in need throughout the country.
Although Hendrix is Mr. May in our 2012 Afghan Hound Club of America (AHCA) Rescue calendar, he didn't get to celebrate his month. He died in March just five days before his 15th birthday. Hendrix enjoyed a lifetime full of love. He was fortunate to have Vanessa, his doting Mom, who always put him first. She adored and babied him, even carrying this leggy galoot up stairs so he wouldn't have to walk.
When Vanessa lost a long battle with cancer, her dying wish was that Hendrix would continue to have the best of care. That's why Pam, a wonderful advocate of our breed, stepped in. She never met Vanessa, but learned of her devotion for Hendrix. After she offered to adopt Hendrix for the rest of his days, Hendrix joined Pam's household alongside her two younger Afghans.
Pam embraced Hendrix, and rejoiced in his idiosyncrasies for a bit over a year. She had a purple coat designed for him to go along with his trademark trinkets. She built a ramp when his legs began to fail. She lay on his bed with him the night he was "stricken" until he passed an hour later with his head on her chest. Without a doubt, Vanessa would have approved. If Hendrix had been your aged dog, imagine how comforted you'd be to know a stranger could love your pet as much as you did.
I have the privilege of editing the AHCA Rescue calendar. The previous one recently won an award from the Dog Writers Association of America because people send us such fabulous photos and case histories. I must trim heartfelt stories so we can squeeze them into tight spots. The calendars are prepared months before the year begins. Below are Pam's unedited, eloquent words about Hendrix:
"From the pictures I have seen, to the stories that I have been told, Hendrix had a nice life. His mom, Vanessa, named him after one of her favorite singers, Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix saw many sights as they traveled around New England. They enjoyed long walks around Manchester, NH. A favorite thing was to go to Hampton Beach where Hendrix would get to run. People would stop Vanessa to admire Hendrix -- he was quite the looker in his younger days. Her family told me that Vanessa "often sacrificed much so that Hendrix was properly cared for."
I met Hendrix just before he turned 14. Vanessa had died the week before from cancer at 57 years old. He spent time in hospice with Vanessa, once staying a full week. She seemed much happier with him there and would fret when he wasn't with her. I think a piece of Hendrix's heart died with Vanessa. When he came to live with me, he just lay on his bed all curled up. It took him three days before I saw him eat. He wouldn't let me touch him. First, I celebrated quietly when he ate a full meal; the second celebration was when he began following me around. When he barked for me while outside, we had a party. Hendrix had begun to emerge.
He loves to play with his tennis ball, pouncing on it and biting it ferociously. His favorite game is "Monster." He barks at me and snaps his teeth in the air, while bouncing back and forth. I bend over, stretch my arms wide, growl at him and walk like a monster. He growls back, chases me and pretends he is going to bite. When "Monster" is over, he sprints laps around the yard, hurdling the hostas. Did I mention he is 14? He STILL chases his tail, spins that old arthritic body around barking and snapping at his tail. He caught it once; I heard the scream, looked out and he was chasing it and barking at it. He really is such a character!
His time may be coming, but he's determined to live life to the fullest until it does. This old man makes me laugh out loud every day and I admire his tremendous heart and spirit. I'm so happy to be part of Hendrix's final chapter and to keep him safe until he and Vanessa meet again at the Rainbow Bridge. "And I said fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky, fly on my sweet angel, forever I will be by your side" (Jimi Hendrix, "Angel") -Pam Wall, Danvers Massachusetts
Each month on the calendar features two rescued Afghans. However, our senior celebrity had the month of May to himself. One photo showed a younger Hendrix running on the beach; another playing "Monster" with Pam; while superimposed on the month grid was Hendrix with his new Afghan amigos.
Someone once said that coincidences are God's way of remaining anonymous. Right before Hendrix died, Michaela the neglected Afghan showed up in a NJ shelter with a purple coat covering her mound of mats. (See online "Pets" 3/29/12.) What's the chance of two blonde Afghans wearing purple coats, especially since Afghans rarely need coats? When Michaela died shortly after Hendrix, Pam believed her kindred purple spirit was there to welcome Michaela at the Rainbow Bridge. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky." Can you hear Hendrix woof his introduction?
Pam would like to establish a Hendrix Fund to benefit rescued senior Afghan Hounds. If the national breed club approves this plan, her beloved Purple Haze boy will continue to "kiss the sky" each time an elderly Afghan in need is "babied" once more. Without a doubt, Vanessa would approve.
For Adoption at Last Hope Dog Center, 3300 Beltagh Avenue in Wantagh: "Dolce" & "Hoshi" are two discarded, purebred Boxers airlifted from Puerto Rico by the Sato Project. Now at Last Hope, the young duo is relatively small and my gut feeling is that Dolce is Hoshi's Mom.

Transfer Credit
One of the most common questions is "Will my credits transfer?"
Wright State University accepts credits from colleges and universities that are regionally accredited. Regional accrediting agencies are Higher Learning Commission, Middle States, New England, Northwest, Southern, and Western Associations of Colleges and Schools, and the American Council on Education for military credits. Visit the Council of Higher Education to find out if your credits are from a regionally accredited institution.
But there is an important distinction between transferability and applicability of transfer credits.
Transferability means that the credit hours earned from another school will be added to your Wright State transcript. Beginning Fall 2005, a grade of D or higher earned at any regionally accredited institution will transfer, as long as the course is a college level course. Developmental courses will not transfer into Wright State.
Applicability means the transfer credits posted to your Wright State transcript fulfill requirements toward your degree. The applicability of credit is dependent upon previously established course equivalencies, statewide policies, and evaluations by academic advisors or faculty. Credits from a regionally accredited college or university may be transferable, but they may not be applicable to your degree requirements at Wright State.

Roasting Chicken The Food Urchin Way
With a swift, deft lunge and a snappy twist of the wrist, the Food Urchin turns on the main oven on, heating it up to a perfect 220C. Give or take a degree or two. Or three or four. Or maybe even ten. The Food Urchin oven is not entirely accurate and the dial thermometer he bought to pop inside could do with a really good scrub. But this doesn't worry the Food Urchin. He knows when the oven gets to the optimum temperature. He feels it. By putting his head in the oven. When the hairs from his nostrils begin to smoke and singe, it's Hammertime. Or should that be Chickentime?
Whilst the oven is working it's way up to Maillard nirvana, the Food Urchin starts to prepare the bird. 'Keep it simple, stupid' is a mantra you'll often hear when it comes to roasting chicken. Butter, salt, pepper, no more, no less. But the Food Urchin firmly believes in that lesser known idiom - 'Throw in whatever shizz you have to hand and if it works you'll be a hero, if it fails, the chippy is just up the road'. So he dives into the condiment cupboard across the room and unearths a decade's worth of impulse buys, sorry, faded, near empty jars and at least 3 packets of IKEA dehydrated cream sauce for meatballs. Eyes flicker back and forth over the parade of spices, herbs, vinegars and oils with hands ploughing through and discarding over shoulders as the Food Urchin's synapses begin to fire on all cylinders. To the outside observer looking in, this hive of activity soon melds into a blur but to the Food Urchin, every flows in beautiful stop motion majesty. Finally, he decides on his prime ingredients, slamming each jar or bottle or packet to the side with a triumphant, albeit imaginary earth shattering clang of a gong.
So into the pestle and mortar, the Food Urchin throws some stale garlic, some dried oregano from Aldi, some out of date sumac, some random looking celery salt and a generous splash of exquisite, rosemary flavoured extra virgin olive oil, procured from a small Glaswegian lady. Who lives in a bush, in a park, in London. With a rhythmic pounding and swirling action, the combined elements soon turn into a bewildering witches brew, pungent and heady. The Food Urchin dips his little finger into the granite pot and tastes. Lips purse and an eyelid flickers. 'Oh my giddy aunt, that's got an unusual..... tang' the Food Urchin thinks to himself but is nevertheless pleased with the concoction and strides back across to where the chicken resides. A slight slip on jars previously cast aside nearly puts the mission in peril but the Food Urchin regains his balance with only a minimal spillage on his slippers.
The next stage is critical and the Food Urchin knows it. For it wouldn't do just to simply empty the marinade over the chicken, throw it in the oven and be done with it. No, the Food Urchin knows that he has massage the oily, speckled ferment into the bird thoroughly and comprehensively, liberally and totally. He has to massage the breasts. He has to massage the legs. From the Parson's Nose all the way up the back to the scruff of it's (formerly) scraggy neck, the Food Urchin's fingers must probe and rub. Basting must begin before as well as after you've put the bird in the oven. Most importantly though is the insertion of half a lemon up the chook's jacksy. This is an absolute must. Without and the chicken and the cook will suffer the ignominy of bone-dry, pallid offerings at the table thus rendering all life void and meaningless. The Food Urchin has spent many a night trapped in an existential nightmare, crying himself to sleep before he discovered the lemon trick.
Once this is stage is over, the Food Urchin thinks 'it's time to put this baby in the oven'. And so he puts the chicken into a roasting tray and into the oven and breathes a sigh of relief and contentment. He picks up the jars, bottles and packets. He sweeps up the floor. He wipes down the surfaces. He prepares the vegetables by the sink. Sweet potatoes for roasting, red onions for caramelising and mange tout for blanching for just one minute before refreshing in ice cold water to retain their fantastic emerald colour and crunch. And soon enough, beguiling smells and aromas begin to emit from the oven and envelope the kitchen. Putting aside his razor sharp cooks knife, The Food Urchin grins to himself, licks his thumb and peers into the fridge. Riding this crest of a wave, he wants to push the boat out just that bit further, for his wife and for his family. He spies some chorizo and thinks 'chicken, chorizo, chicken, chorizo, chicken, chorizo.......chicken, chorizo......well it's a winning formula isn't it'. So he takes the celebrated Iberian sausage out and proceeds to chop it up into neat squares for frying and a fine scattering. 'My family are sooo lucky to have me cook for them' he giggles to himself.
Then from nowhere, something taints the Food Urchin's sensitive, hairless nostrils. It's hard to pin point but the Food Urchin recognises the odour from somewhere, from some passage in time. Hands on hips, he steps back, bows his head and frowns drawing the scent in. Suddenly, this divine, talismanic number hits the back of the Food Urchin's head which he clasps in panic.
"190!!! Christ, I forgot to turn the oven down!!!!"
And with that he flips down the oven door and smoke plumes out as though it were some gate to Hades itself. The Food Urchin screams, grabs a tea-towel and pulls the tray out with extreme force. So much so that the chicken re-animates and repossesses the gift of flight right across the kitchen, the kind that it could only have dreamt of when it was alive. However, this new voyage of discovery is sadly cut short by an opposing wall and the Food Urchin screams yet again. Which is soon followed by a bout of extreme profanity. Tiny feet pitter patter into the kitchen and mouths remain agog for just a few seconds before emitting a barrage of questions with vigorous pointing at a half-cooked chicken in the middle of the floor. "Go back into the living room kids and no Isla, you must never ever repeat that word OK? Ever" instructs the Food Urchin before wiping the sweat from his brow and picking up the ungainly bird from the floor. Placing it into another tin, the Food Urchin leans over and surveys the damage and decides that it could have been worse. He could have used the C-word. He licks his thumb again and smiles 'actually, this doesn't taste bad at all really' so he brushes some fluff off one of the legs, turns the oven down to 190C and pops the old girl in for another hour. She comes out perfect.
Still, it's hard being a culinary genius sometimes.

Ah, Danny. This was a marvellous read. Perfect for a Weds evening. As I said, this is basically how I cook, despite the fact that I make it sound like it's all martinis, high heels and red lipstick. Really it's just a lot of swearing and throwing things into the pan.
As, I believe R. Kelly & The Dogg of Snoop say, "pimpin' aint easy."

A great account of the joys/terrors of making it up as you go along. Our oven likes to hang around being too cool for ages, then turns into a furnace just when you take your attention away from it!

Pep Guardiola looked destined to be the hottest managerial signature of the summer. He spoke of his desire to manage in the Premier League just days ago, a statement that surely pricked the ears of the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea.
But just hours later it was announced that the Spaniard will take over from Jupp Heynckes as the next Bayern Munich manager on a three-year deal, effective this summer.
Guardiola left Barcelona at the end of last season to take a sabbatical from football following a highly succesful period in charge of the Catalan giants which saw him claim three La Liga titles, two Copa Del Rey triumphs and be named La Liga coach of the year four consecutive times.
The 41-year-old is 11/4 (3.75) with Bet365 to win the Champions League during his time with the German club and just 4/7 (1.67) to see out the three years at the Allianz Arena.
While the move may be a blow to the Premier League clubs that were chasing his signature, it also reinforces the Bundesliga's claims that its best teams can rival any of those from other European shores.
Heynckes led his side to the Champions League final last season where they lost on penalties to Chelsea.
The 11/4 (3.75) on Guardiola going one step further with a team that can boast the likes of Mario Gomez, Philip Lahm, Manuel Neuer and Thomas Muller could prove good value, especially if the 4/7 (1.67) for Guardiola to stay for the full duration of his contract also pays out.
Guardiola led his Barcelona team to two Champions League titles in his time at Camp Nou and looks set to take over a side who will secure yet another Bundesliga title. Bayern are nine points ahead of their nearest rivals and 12 points in front of fellow Champions League hopefuls Borussia Dortmund.
The quote of 11/4 (3.75) is sure to be popular with those who believe Guardiola can replicate his success at Barcelona in his new role.

Rated 5 out of 5 by spyhunter52 from Stunning dress! I got this as a replacement for another maxi dress (Racer Stripe Maxi dress with red and tan stripes) which shrunk 3 inches in length after I washed it once according to the care tag. This dress is far more stunning than the other one. You can dress it up or down and go from day to night. It is very flattering and skims over my body perfectly. It is lined but still clingy and requires seamless thong underwear. I'm in between an XXS and XS and the XXS fits me perfectly, so if you are in between sizes I think it is ok to go with the smaller size. The length is perfect, an inch above the ground with 5" wedges and I am 5'3". I thought I would have to get it tailored but I don't. I am not sure what other reviewers were saying about the colors. The pattern is exactly the same as in the photo. I also ordered online and the stripes are lined up perfectly. I can't wait to wear this dress on vacation. I am just praying it will not shrink 3 inches like the last one, then it would be too short!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chelle from Great Make I Love Love Love the way this dress was made. It accents all the right areas and even makes me appear to be slimmer in the tummy area :0) I ordered the Large since the last couple dresses I ordered from Bebe in a XL were too big in the Bust and/or too long, unfortunately, this time I ordered the Large and it was too short but fit perfectly everwhere else. I returned it to the store. I wear a size 12/14 and I'm 5'8 inch tall, The Large fit great, but hit right above my ankle, Fingers crossed that the XL will give me the added length I like. I wish the Stores would carry more Larger sizes that way I wouldnt have to waste so much time shipping back and forth waiting for another size and another outcome.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BostonBebe from WORTH THE WAIT! I waited all summer with hopes this sold-out dress would return, and it is SO worth the wait. This dress couldn't be more flattering (the magic of chevron and colorblocking!) and I got tons of compliments the first time I wore it. It's a head-turner- don't wear it unless you want attention!! The dress is lined and helps disguise panty lines which I love. The elastic at the top is wide and soft, doesn't cut across the bust at all. It is a tad long for me even with heels, so I will have it altered. I'd say it's true to size, I found the S draped better than the XS but the bust is a little large (I fold the elastic in to shorten the bust area). I tried on 5 of these in the store and searched for the one with the most evenly-matched stripes. I would be wary of buying online for that reason only.

The achievement of state greenhouse gas policy objectives by the electricity sector will depend to a large degree on the interconnection and operational integration of renewable generation to the transmission grid. Within this framework, California utilities must also continue to ensure that projects needed to meet traditional reliability and congestion management objectives are developed. Actions already underway at the state and federal levels that address planning, permitting, financing, and integration barriers to renewable generation interconnection must be assessed to ensure that state policy objectives are met in a timely manner.
California is taking action by addressing transmission project and transmission corridor planning and permitting barriers. Resolution of the issues will support California's efforts to meet its goals of a cost-effective, reliable transmission system capable of responding to the challenges of the twenty-first century.
Senate Bill 1565 (Bowen, Chapter 692, Statutes of 2004) requires that the Commission adopt a strategic plan for the state's electric transmission grid. This Strategic Transmission Investment Plan is to be included in the biennial Intregrated Energy Policy Report.
For information on workshops held and documents created for the 2009 Strategic Transmission Investment Plan, please see the 2009 Integrated Energy Policy Report proceeding.

Verification is a process by which the U.S. Department of Education requires the institution to verify or confirm the information that was reported on the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) for the student and parents. Students are randomly selected for verification by the U.S. Department of Education. Changes or updates to your application may result in you being selected for verification even if you were not initially selected. The institution also has the authority to select an application for verification. The U.S. Department of Education's goal is to move toward customized verification so all students selected for verification may not be required to submit the same documents.
If you are selected for verification you will be required to complete verification worksheets, provide documentation that supports the income and other information you reported on the FAFSA.
Students may be placed into one of the following verification groups:
Students that are selected for verification or have missing information needed to complete the processing of their application will receive an email to their Senators Mail account. Students are strongly encouraged to review eligibility requirements through MyWS or follow up with the Financial Aid Office to determine what documents are needed to complete the processing of their financial aid application. If you are selected for verification it is important to return all documents to the Financial Aid office. Your eligibility cannot be determined until the verification process is complete.
Income reported on the FAFSA for student/parents if dependent or student/spouse if independent must be verified. This may be satisfied by using the IRS data retrieval tool or by providing the Financial Aid office with an official IRS Tax Return Transcript or 2015 SIGNED tax return. Click here for detailed instructions on how to verify your income information.
Students in this group must verify the following information if they are tax filers:
This information may be provided on one or more financial aid verification worksheets. Additional information may also be required to complete the processing of your application or complete the verification process.
All earned income must be verified by submitting copies of W2 or 1099 forms for the student/parents if dependent or student/spouse if independent. If you failed to keep a copy of your W2 form you may also request this from the IRS. Click here for instructions on how to request a W2 transcript.
Students who are non-tax filers must verify the following:
Students must verify the following
Finanancial Aid Verification Forms should be completed through MyWS.

For years we've been told that speed cameras have always been about safety and not revenue enhancement. Again we have been lied to by our politicians, and the proof is that inaccurate cameras are allowed to continue issuing $40 tickets ("Not so fast," Nov. 20).
Isn't it about time that responsible parties actually are held responsible? The bureaucrat who allowed this to continue should be fired and forced to pay for the wrongly issued tickets.

In the assault of the Dagor Bragollach, the Men of Dorthonion were overrun by Morgoth's forces. Their lord, Barahir, took the survivors of his House into hiding in the northern highlands, above the pine forests of that region, but they were harried and hunted by Morgoth's servant Sauron, and their numbers dwindled.
At last, only thirteen Men remained, and Ragnor was one of these: a faithful servant and soldier of the House of Bëor. One fateful night, as the outlaws slept by the shores of a mountain lake, they were set upon by Orcs and slain to a Man. Beren was absent from the camp, and survived, but Ragnor and all his companions were lost.
