Foote, Julia A.J.
NEARLY two months from the time I first saw the angel, I said that I would do anything or go anywhere for God, if it were made plain to me. He took me at my word, and sent the angel again with this message: "You have I chosen to go in my name and warn the people of their sins." I bowed my head and said, "I will go, Lord."
That moment I felt a joy and peace I had not known for months. But strange as it may appear, it is not the less true, that, ere one hour had passed, I began to reason thus: "I am elected to preach the Gospel without the requisite qualifications, and, besides, my parents and friends will forsake me and turn against me; and I regret that I made a promise." At that instant all the joy and peace I had felt left me, and I thought I was standing on the brink of hell, and heard the devil say: "Let her go! let her go! I will catch her." Reader,
I continued in this state for some time, when, on a Sabbath evening--ah! that memorable Sabbath evening--while engaged in fervent prayer, the same supernatural presence came to me once more and took me by the hand. At that moment I became lost to everything of this world. The angel led me to a place where there was a, large tree, the branches of which seemed to extend either way beyond sight. Beneath it sat, as I thought, God and Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, besides many others, whom I thought were angels. I was led before them: they looked me over from head to foot, but said nothing. Finally, the Father said to me: "Before these people make your choice, whether you will obey me or go from this place to eternal misery and pain." I answered not a word. He then took me by the hand to lead me, as I thought, to hell, when I cried out, "I will obey thee, Lord!" He then pointed my hand in different directions, and asked if I would go there. I replied, "Yes, Lord." He then led me, all the others following, till we came to a place where there was a great quantity of water, which looked like silver, where we made a
During this operation, all the others stood on the bank, looking on in profound silence. When the washing was ended, the sweetest music I had ever heard greeted my ears. We walked to the shore, where an angel stood with a clean, white robe, which the father at once put on me. In an instant I appeared to be changed into an angel. The whole company looked at me with delight, and began to make a noise which I called shouting. We all marched back with music. When we reached the tree to which the angel first led me, it hung full of fruit, which I had not seen before. The Holy Ghost plucked some and gave me, and the rest helped themselves. We sat down and ate of the fruit, which had a taste like nothing I had ever tasted before. When we had finished, we all arose and gave another shout. Then God and Father said to me: "You are now prepared, and must go where I have commanded you." I replied, "If I go, they will not believe me." Christ then appeared to write something with a golden pen and golden ink, upon golden paper. Then he
When I came to myself, I found that several friends had been with me all night, and my husband had called a physician, but he had not been able to do anything for me. He ordered those around me to keep very quiet, or to go home. He returned in the morning, when I told him, in part, my story. He seemed amazed, but made no answer, and left me.
Several friends were in, during the day. While talking to them, I would, without thinking, put my hand into my bosom, to show them my letter of authority. But I soon found, as my friends told me, it was in my heart, and was to be shown in my life, instead of in my hand. Among other, my minister, Jehial C. Beman, came to see me. He looked very coldly upon me and said: "I guess you will find out your mistake before you are many months older." He was a scholar, and a fine speaker; and the sneering, indifferent way in which he addressed me, said most plainly:

To paraphrase one of the Oriole's announcers…Good pitching makes you look like a good baseball team. There has never been truer words spoken in the history of baseball. The Yankees have an all-star at every fielding position on the diamond except secondbase. When was the last time the Yankees won a world series? 2000. Back then, the team was GOOD offensively, but not nearly as potent as they have been in recent years. The difference? PITCHING. Plain and simple. Just when we were beginning to wonder if there was a major league pitcher on the Devil Rays staff, Mark Hendrickson, went to the mound tonight and thought he was back playing with the New Jersey Nets in 2000 as the D-Rays beat the Orioles 2-0. At least his line score tonight looked very similar to most of his line scores during his basketball career. 9 min, 3 fga, 0 fgm, 0 reb, 1 ast, 5 fouls, 0 pts. Oops. Our bad. That was 9 inn, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 5 Ks, 0 HR. There was one other stat that stood out tonight for Hendrickson. His pitchcount (106 pitches, 69 strikes) was nearly identical in 9 innings as Scott Kazmir's (104/66) was on opening day in 4+ innings. We hope Kazmir was paying attention tonight.
We were also pleased to see Joe Maddon stick with Hendrickson in 9th innning. Maddon has made it known that he does not like to depend on pitch counts. He would rather let a pitcher go as long as he is throwing well and not laboring on the mound. Hendrickson now has as many complete games as the entire team had in 2005, and more shutouts than the 2004 and 2005 squads combined.
Tomas Perez, who was signed earlier in the day, made his debut as a pinch runner for Aubrey Huff, in the 8th inning. Perez then stayed in the game to play thirdbase as a defensive substitution. Perez, who didn't make a single error in 95 games, in 2005, made a throwing error on his first attempt of 2006. In his defense, Huff would not have even made the play and the Travis Lee appeared to make the tag on the high throw, even though the runner was ruled safe. Perez made up for the botched throw on the very next play, diving to his left and throwing out the lead runner at secondbase and keeping the tying run off base.
Speaking of Travis Lee. Excellent defensive firstbaseman, but there is a reason he has never lived up to his potential as a hitter. During the bottom of the 8th, Tim Byrdack of the Orioles walked three of the first four batters he faced to bring Lee up to bat with the bases loaded and nobody out in a 2-0 ballgame. Lee, facing a pitcher with obvious control problems, with the bases loaded in a close ballgame, proceeds to swing at the first pitch out of the strike zone. We are at a loss as to why Lee would be swinging at all at the first pitch against a left handed pitcher with control problems. He then swings at the second pitch and hits a weak groundball to the secondbaseman, leading to an inning ending 4-6-3 double play. For anyone that has ever played baseball, that is usually what happens when you try to pull an outside pitch, and that is exactly what happened to Lee. Maddon has stressed that he wants the team to play with better fundamentals, a lesson that apparently was lost on Travis Lee.

Darkfield tracks on surfaces like clear glass* and lacquered desks that stump optical mice and standard laser mice. So now your mouse works wherever you do.
It's all in the details.
Optical and traditional laser mice use irregularities in the surface to track the direction and speed of your mouse. The more irregularities on a surface, the easier it is for the sensor to track your movements. But use your mouse on a smooth, glossy surface like clear glass, and there just aren't enough imperfections for your standard mouse to work. This is where Darkfield Laser Tracking comes in. Darkfield uses the smallest possible details to create a micro-road map of the surface--so you get better precision on more surfaces.
Can this mouse do everything?
Just about. Keep in mind, however, that we haven't designed the first two mice with Darkfield Laser Tracking for gamers or for those working on laboratory-grade clean glass. If you're making lightning-fast maneuvers and need gaming-grade cursor speed, take a look at the Logitech® G9x Laser Mouse.
And if you're working on exceptionally clean glass, you may have to wait until the dust settles. For surfaces with fewer than 44 microscopic details (per square millimeter) that are less than 5 µm wide and 1.5 µm thick--to give some context, a strand of human hair is about 100 µm wide--you may want to swipe your hand across the surface before using your mouse. But for everyone else, Darkfield Laser Tracking gives you precise cursor control on virtually any surface--even glass.
Darkfield Laser Tracking™
You get accurate, precise cursor control on virtually any surface, even glass tables (4 mm minimum thickness) where optical and standard laser mice fail. Turn the world into your mouse pad
Logitech® Unifying receiver
The tiny receiver stays in your notebook. Plus, you can easily add a compatible wireless mouse or keyboard--without the hassle of multiple USB receivers
Flexible recharging system
A micro-USB cable charges your mouse through your computer or a standard outlet--even when in use. You'll always have the power you need to get the job done.
Hyper-fast scrolling
When you need to do some long-distance scrolling, hyper-fast scrolling unleashes the speed demon inside. What's going on under the hood? The ratchet-scrolling mechanism you're used to retracts so the wheel can spin with virtually no friction. Seven seconds. That's how long some of our scroll wheels spin freely--speeding you through hundreds of pages or thousands of rows. And, oh yeah, it's got precision handling too. With normal click-to-click scrolling, you can navigate your lists, slides, and images with the line-by-line control you need.

Pope Benedict defends choice to resign in last public address
VATICAN CITY (RNS) In his final public address, Pope Benedict XVI on Wednesday (Feb. 27) forcefully defended his decision to resign while trying to reassure Catholics still reeling from the shock of his unprecedented move.
For the first time since his stunning announcement on Feb. 11, the 85-year old pope explained at length his decision to become the first pope in six centuries to resign. His tenure officially ends Thursday at 8 p.m. local time.
Benedict admitted that his resignation is a "grave" and "novel" act but, he added, his choice had been made "with profound serenity."
"Loving the church means having the courage to make difficult, agonizing choices, having ever before oneself the good of the church and not one's own," he said.
In stark contrast to public appearances in recent months when Benedict had looked weak and frail, he spoke forcefully and clearly in front of an estimated crowd of 150,000 gathered in St. Peter's Square to witness his public speech as pope.
Chief Vatican spokesman Rev. Federico Lombardi described the atmosphere in the square as both "emotional" and "serene."
Benedict urged Catholics to keep their hope and trust in the church, reassuring them that it remains "alive" even though "many speak of its decline."
Reflecting on his nearly eight-year-long papacy, Benedict said, "there were moments of joy and light but also moments that were not easy ... there were moments, as there were throughout the history of the Church, when the seas were rough and the wind blew against us and it seemed that the Lord was sleeping."
Benedict also explained that resigning from the papacy won't mean a total return to private life, as being pope is a commitment that lasts "forever."
"I do not abandon the cross," he said, echoing remarks made during the waning days of his predecessor, Pope John Paul II, who remained in office despite suffering from Parkinson's disease. Catholic leaders, including John Paul himself, said that he could no more resign than Jesus could come down from the cross.
Benedict said Wednesday that his new role won't entail governing the church but serving it with prayer.
The Vatican says that Benedict will remain "His Holiness" and assume the title of "Pope Emeritus" after his resignation.
Benedict's time in office has been marred by several scandals, from child sex abuse to increased tensions with Jews and Muslims up to the so-called Vatileaks affair, which saw the pope's personal butler steal confidential documents and leak them to the press.
In many instances, the Roman Curia -- the church's central administration -- was blamed for not adequately supporting an intellectual pontiff who never felt completely at ease on the world's stage or in bureaucratic management.
Nevertheless, Benedict stressed that he never felt "alone in bearing either the joys or the weight" of his role.
In fact, in his address Benedict took special care to thank the Curia, and particularly the Vatican secretary of state Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, whose lack of diplomatic experience has been cited as a key factor in the lapses of Benedict's pontificate.
According to Lombardi, about 70 cardinals were in attendance in St. Peter's Square. At least 100 cardinals are expected to be present for Benedict's final farewell on Thursday, he said.

In his welcoming speech to the 5,000 attendees at LPL Financial's annual conference Monday in San Diego, National Sales President Bill Dwyer took a look back at the past two decades, but then looked ahead to what he believes will mark advisors' success in a coming "Golden Age of advice" over the next 20 years.
At LPL, which Dwyer joined 20 years ago in July, "we've always tried in downturns to capture more market share and invest in new competencies," and highlighted how LPL will help its advisors—and itself—enjoy continued success by focusing on the retirement planning space, on serving the high-net-worth client and on helping its advisors run more efficient businesses.
He told the audience, which included 2,700 of LPL's 13,000 independent contractor rep force, that those investments in the past included launching a corporate RIA in 1992, making LPL the first "full-service firm to have advisors managing money on a fiduciary basis," and its decision to become self-clearing in 2000, which has produced "efficiencies for us and our advisors," citing a 2010 PriceWaterhouse survey sponsored by LPL which found that its reps had higher pretax income per owner and significantly higher profit per client than their competitors, part of which Dwyer attributed to LPL's self clearing status.
"Today, we're doing the same thing," Dwyer said in a telephone interview Tuesday (reporters were not invited to the conference). While he said that "other firms are hunkering down, we're adding competencies in the advisor space." One of those competencies, via an announced partnership with Morningstar and through its acquisition of National Retirement Partners in July 2010, will "allow advisors to give advice on a fiduciary basis" to retirement plan participants.
"We introduced this to our advisors at the conference," Dwyer said, and he believes that by "the spring of 2013, we'll really hit our stride" with the offering, once LPL gets the cooperation of plan providers and plan sponsors.
Noting that 50% of the 4 million accounts at LPL are qualified accounts, he said that providing advice to plan participants in an efficient way is a "huge opportunity." That opportunity resides not just among boomers, he believes, but also in the "echo boomers," that cohort of workers who he said "will invest in their 401(k)s much differently than the boomers." LPL is also finding success, Dwyer said, with its previously announced Rollover Results program.
If the retirement plan participant initiative is designed more for LPL advisors' traditional sweet spot of what it likes to call 'Main Street" investors, another investment is focused on the other end of the net-worth spectrum: the high- and the ultrahigh-net-worth.
Partly through its acquisition earlier this year of Fortigent, "we'll take that up another level," he said, noting that "50% of the revenue coming into" the overall advisor space in the next few years will come from HNW clients (LPL announced in January that it would acquire Fortigent and closed on the acquisition in April.) In addition to Fortigent's alternative investing and reporting capabilities, Dwyer said, LPL is "building out our alternatives research" for its advisors.
That's particularly important, Dwyer says, because LPL's "research folks are saying to prepare for a long-term bear market in bonds," along with "predicting single-digit returns in equities," in addition to the likely bigger tax bite coming out of Washington on capital gains.
"It will be a different world for advisors to operate in" over those next 20 years, Dwyer (left) said, in which advisors will need to "manage more relationships, because they won't see market gains" driving their own growth or their end clients' portfolio growth.
Advisors will thus have to "more effectively communicate with clients and manage more relationships; we're throwing significant resources to help" advisors do just that, Dwyer said. "If I'm going to have to manage two to three times" the number of clients, he said, then advisors will "need to be leaders in social media," citing "every survey I see [finding that clients want] more transparency, information and communication, but I don't want to run my own money." LPL, Dwyer says, is "giving advisors the tools to do that."
Dwyer said that "growth and execution have driven this business; moving forward, the most efficient businesses…will be the most successful—that's true among advisors and at LPL."
When asked how many potential recruits were attending the conference, Dwyer said that while it's not designed as a major recruiting tool, about 30 advisors who are "90%" of the way toward affiliating with LPL were in San Diego. Those potential recruits say that while they "knew about the breadth" of LPL's offerings, "what I came for was to see how other [i.e., existing LPL] advisors feel about the firm."
What they didn't expect to experience, Dwyer said, is "the positive energy of the advisors, which is not true at all firms" and "the willingness and openness to share." Among RIAs at custodians, Dwyer said, "there's more diversity," while at other broker-dealers, there's often "more competition" among advisors. But LPL, Dwyer said, is "the true melting pot of the industry."

- Soften or melt coconut oil and coconut butter and then combine in a small bowl with honey and peppermint oil. Freeze the mixture for a few minutes until it starts to harden. Remove from freezer and form little balls. Place back in the freezer to firm them up.
- When balls are frozen, melt chocolate. Let it cool a little to thicken up. Dip balls one at a time into melted chocolate.
- Use a fork to pull them out and shake excess chocolate off.
- Line the chocolate-coated balls up on a parchment-lined baking sheet and put back in the freezer to harden up.
- Coat candies in a second coat of chocolate, if necessary. You can see in number 4 above, the candies weren't completely coated. After few minutes in the freezer I simple remelted the extra chocolate from step 2 and redipped the candies. Much better :).
- Store in the refrigerator.

Holy goodness...my mouth is watering! These look soooo yummy! I must make next weekend!ReplyDelete
And no, I don't celebrate V-Day. I could go into details about why, but this is a happy place and we won't go to the dark side. The good news is that I don't *hate* V-Day any longer, thanks to a friend and a promise. :)
Have a great day friend! :)
Totally pinning this and possibly making for tomorrow--thanks, girl! Where did you get the coconut butter?? Never heard of it. I guess I could check the health food store?? I use coconut oil all the time--love that stuff!ReplyDelete
kill me now... these looks delish!! I make an oreo truffle that's similar, and if these are anything like those, especially considering my obsession with mint things, I will literally eat every single one.ReplyDelete
Question, is there any coconutty-texture, like the shavings give off?? Or is it smooth b/c you're using the butter.
These look so good! York's are one of my favorite candies so I may have to try these out.ReplyDelete
We don't usually do anything too extravagant for V Day. We generally have a nice dinner at home and maybe light the fireplace, but we're also going to do a small gift exchange this year to change things up.
YUM! And I just discovered coconut oil the other day and used it in cupcakes for Sheila. She is allergic to eggs, so this was an alternative in a cupcake recipe I found. I'll have to try these sometime.ReplyDelete
Yum!! I think I already have all the ingredients, and it looks relatively healthy for a dessert! Pinning this :)ReplyDelete
yummy!!! That looks delicious!!!! :)ReplyDelete

What can I substitute the honey with? I am allergic to it.ReplyDelete
Agave is a perfect 1:1 ratio sub for honey.ReplyDelete
Hey, I'm thinking about adding these to my Xmas baking list and have the coconut oil, but I've never heard of the butter. Can real butter be substituted? Or, was it easy to come by?ReplyDelete

For new releases go to
As we transition to our new site, you'll still find some Stats NZ information here on this archive site.
Overseas merchandise trade statistics provide statistical information on the importing and exporting of merchandise goods between New Zealand and other countries.
Data is obtained from export and import entry documents lodged with the New Zealand Customs Service. The data is processed and passed to Statistics NZ for further editing and compilation.
Billion: is 1,000 million.
Capital goods: are produced assets that are used repeatedly or continuously, for longer than one year, in industrial production processes. Examples are machinery, trucks, and aircraft.
cif: is the cost of goods, including insurance and freight to New Zealand.
Consumption goods: are goods used (without further transformation in industrial production processes) by households, government, or non-profit institutions serving households.
Exports (including re-exports): are goods of domestic origin exported from New Zealand to another country. Exports in this release are valued fob and are shown in New Zealand dollars. Estimated values may be used for goods that are not already sold at the time of export entry lodgement.
fob: is free on board (the value of goods at New Zealand ports before export).
Imports: are goods imported into New Zealand. Imports in this release are valued at cif and are shown in New Zealand dollars. However, imports in table 1 are also shown at the vfd level, which excludes the insurance and freight component.
Infoshare: is Statistics NZ's free online tool that gives you access to a range of time-series data.
Intermediate goods: are goods used up, or transformed in, industrial production processes.
Merchandise trade: covers exports or imports of goods that alter the nation's stock of material resources. It includes goods leased for a year or more and excludes goods for repair.
Provisional: statistics for the latest three months are provisional, to allow late data and amendments to be included.
Re-exports: are merchandise exports that were earlier imported into New Zealand and have less than 50 percent New Zealand content by value.
Seasonal adjustment: removes the estimated impact of regular seasonal events, such as pre-Christmas purchasing, from time series. This makes the figures for adjacent periods more comparable.
Trade balance: is calculated by deducting imports (cif) from exports (fob). These two valuations are not entirely comparable, because the cif valuation includes insurance and freight to New Zealand, while the fob valuation excludes insurance and freight from New Zealand.
Trade deficit: occurs when the value of imports is more than the value of exports.
Trade surplus: occurs when the value of exports is more than the value of imports.
Trend: estimates reveal the underlying direction of movement in a series and are used to identify turning points.
Two-way trade: is the sum of goods exported from New Zealand and goods imported into New Zealand (exports + imports).
vfd: is value for duty (the value of imports before insurance and freight costs are added).

You're so lucky!/ I envy you!/ I'm jealous of you!
As I learned it, 羨ましい as an exclamation does not carry much of a negative context, so perhaps a combination of these three interpretations would be best. However, in Western society, jealousy and envy are generally considered negative. Though this same impulse is also present in Buddhist tradition, I am interested in how this term takes on a (mostly?) positive nuance. Furthermore, are there any opinions as to why this exclamation is so common in Japanese, while an English (semi-)equivalent is not?
As a reference, here is a journal entry written by a Japanese native who is puzzling over how to express うらやましい in english:
日本語の「うらやましい」の中には「ねたみ」とか「嫉妬」の部 分があまりない(全然ないとは言えませんが)ような気がする のです。
だからこの場合、 'They are lucky to travel to Korea." という軽いあこがれを 表現したかったのです。

Acknowledgments ................................................5 Lindem Informational [Page 1] RFC 4167 Graceful OSPF Restart Implementation Report October 2005 1. Overview Today, many Internet routers implement a separation of control and forwarding functions. Certain processors are dedicated to control and management tasks such as OSPF routing, while other processors perform the data forwarding tasks. This separation creates the possibility of maintaining a router's data forwarding capability while the router's control software is restarted/reloaded. For the OSPF protocol [OSPF], the protocol mechanisms necessary to accomplish this are described in Graceful OSPF Restart [GRACE]. This document satisfies the RFC 1264 [CRITERIA] requirement for a report on implementation experience for Graceful OSPF Restart. Section 2 of this document contains the results of an implementation survey. It also documents implementation differences between the vendors responding to the survey. Section 3 contains a MIB reference. Section 4 provide an authentication reference. Section 5 simply refers to the implementations listed in section 2. Section 6 includes a minimal set of test scenarios. Finally, section 7 includes a disclaimer with respect to operational experience. 2. Implementation Experience Eleven vendors have implemented graceful OSPF and have completed the implementation survey. These include Redback, Juniper, Motorola Computer Group (formerly Netplane Systems), Mahi Networks, Nexthop technologies, Force10 Networks, Procket, Alcatel, Laurel Networks, DCL (Data Connection Limited), and Ericsson. All have implemented restart from the perspective of both a restarting and helper router. All but one vendor implemented both planned and unplanned restart. All implementations are original. Seven successfully tested interoperability with Juniper. Juniper successfully tested interoperability with Force10 Networks. One vendor tested with John Moy's GNU Public License implementation [OSPFD]. Two vendors had not tested interoperability at the time of the survey. 2.1. Implementation Differences The first difference was whether strict LSA checking was implemented and, if so, whether it was configurable. In the context of graceful OSPF restart, strict LSA checking indicates whether a changed LSA will result in the termination of graceful restart by a helping router. Four vendors made it configurable (three defaulted it to enabled and one to disabled), another made it a compile option (shipping with strict LSA checking disabled), another didn't implement it at all, and five implemented strict LSA checking with no configuration option to disable it. Lindem Informational [Page 2] RFC 4167 Graceful OSPF Restart Implementation Report October 2005 The second was whether a received grace LSA would be taken to apply only to the adjacency on which it was received or to all adjacencies with the restarting router. This is a rather subtle difference since it only applies to helping and restarting routers with more than one full adjacency at the time of restart. Eight vendors implemented theShow full document text

Pension Funding Relief Passes Senate - (March 11, 2010)
If your orchestra runs a defined benefit pension plan or participates in the AFM multi-employer plan, please read on for important news regarding potential pension funding relief.
Yesterday, the U.S. Senate passed pension funding relief as part of a comprehensive jobs package. The overall bill now moves on to the House for final consideration. The League will keep you posted as the overall measure is finalized. In the meantime, following are the pension relief provisions included in the bill:
The bill would provide pension funding relief for single- and multi-employer defined benefit pension plans by giving them more time to absorb losses attributable to the 2008 market downturn and ensuing economic slow-down.
Single Employer Plans
Employers would be given two options to spread out their statutory pension funding obligations.
- The first would allow employers to repay their pension shortfall over nine years (instead of seven), with interest-only payments in the first two years.
- The second option would allow employers to pay back their pension shortfall over 15 years.
Multi-Employer Plans
- Plans would be able to spread their 2008 investment losses over 30 years. Multi-employer plans would also be able to choose to smooth (i.e., average) their assets over 10 years (instead of five years).
The League has joined a broad range of national nonprofit organizations calling for pension funding relief, urging Congress to enact legislation that would allow sponsors of defined benefit pension plans to recoup the shortfall for 2008 over a longer, more manageable period than allowed under the Pension Protection Act.
The League will keep you posted as these pension relief provisions move ahead.
The League is a member of the Performing Arts Alliance, a coalition of national performing arts service organizations dedicated to advocating for national policies that recognize, enhance, and foster the contributions the performing arts make to America

G20 must not allow Euro crisis to derail development efforts
A Eurozone breakup could cost the world's poorest countries $30 billion in lost trade and foreign investment, international agency Oxfam has warned ahead of the G20 leaders meeting in Mexico to discuss the state of the global economy.
Many poor countries would be pulled into a vicious spiral of falling export earnings, damaging their economies and putting pressure on already limited resources for essential health and education services. $30 billion is almost a quarter of the global aid budget, and represents an additional burden on poor countries at a time when 18 million people in West Africa are at risk of a looming food crisis. Donors have so far failed to come up with adequate funding to help those going hungry.
Oxfam's calculations are that if the Euro breaks up, the resulting drop in European countries' GDP would mean a loss of income for Least Developed Countries – most of these in Sub-Saharan Africa – of up to $20 billion in revenue from exports to Europe in the year following the breakup. Poor countries could expect to lose a further $10 billion due to reduced investment from the continent. A collapse of the Eurozone would exacerbate the problems already facing low-income countries, including food shortages, failing aid and reduced capital flows as a result of the economic crisis.
Oxfam is calling for a Financial Transaction Tax
Oxfam is calling on the G20 to support a financial transaction tax (FTT, known in many countries as a Robin Hood Tax) to help poor people hit by the economic crisis by allocating FTT revenues to development and climate change adaptation. The European Commission has proposed a Europe-wide Financial Transaction Tax that would raise $71 billion [€57 billion] a year. The G20 also needs to take urgent action to curb financial speculation on food commodities, reverse biofuels policies that transform food into fuel and improve land rights. Oxfam spokesperson Steve Price-Thomas said: "The Eurocrisis is a grave threat to poor countries already reeling from hunger and aid cuts. G20 leaders have an obligation to protect those that have reached the limits of their ability to defend themselves against the crisis.
"We need a concerted effort to protect poor people from economic and food crises that have left one in seven people in the world hungry. The financial sector should work in the interests of society not the other way around: that means curbing food speculation and insisting the sector which bears responsibility for the economic crisis helps poor people trapped by it."
Capital flows to developing countries have plunged
Three years ago, the G20 launched a framework for "strong, sustainable and balanced growth". They will meet in Los Cabos having delivered little for people most at risk of losing their livelihoods and most likely to be pushed into poverty.
Gross capital flows to developing countries plunged to $170 billion last year compared with $309 billion in 2010 and aid to developing countries fell by $3.4 billion last year.
Price-Thomas said: "The G20 must use their power to solve the crisis in the world beyond Europe. Whether or not they do so is a political choice."
Oxfam is calling on the G20 to:
- Take action to fix the broken food system. The G20 persists in failing to address the most important drivers of the food price crisis: increased demand for biofuels, financial speculation on commodities, and climate change. Most urgently, 18 million people in the Sahel now face a severe food shortage. This is on top of the nearly billion worldwide who already go hungry.
- Clamp down on tax dodging and improve tax transparency. Developing countries are losing billions every year that would provide a vital boost to their economies and could be spent on reducing poverty. So far the G20's promise to crack down on tax havens has largely failed to materialize.
- Raise money for increased public spending and support to the poorest introducing a carbon price on international shipping, which would help to cut emissions and in the process raise $25 billion a year.
- Concentrate on ensuring that growth is fair and boosts equality, so that its benefits reach people living in poverty. As a first step G20 countries must publicly and annually report progress on reducing inequality and make inequality reduction a measure of progress alongside GDP growth. They should task the IMF with doing this.
- Support increased investment in high-quality public health and education services. These are crucial safety nets for the poorest and those falling on hard times, as well as crucial investments in future productivity and a fairer society.
Notes to Editors
Oxfam's calculation on the monetary cost of a euro zone total break up on LDCs used three data sources:
- A scenario by ING on the economic impact (measured as GDP fall) in the euro zone. The total drop in output for 2 years is 12 percent. During the first year after the break up, the loss would be 8.9 percent (this economic contraction would be worse than what happened after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008). Source: EMU Break-up. Pay Now, Pay Later. ING Global Economics 1 December 2011
- A time series of the trade matrix between the euro zone and Least Developed Countries (48 countries as defined by the United Nations). This information is available in the UNCTAD Stat website under International Trade. Also, the time series of foreign direct investment in LDCs. Source: http://unctadstat.unctad.org/
- The time series of GDP (real and nominal) from the World Bank's World Development Indicators. Source: http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.KD
- Trade data shows a sharp reversal of LDCs exports to the world and the euro zone in 2009. The total value of exports from LDC to the Euro zone fell by 30 percent in 2009. This represented a loss of 10 billion dollars in export income for LDCs from one year to the next. This occurred when GDP (in real terms) in the Euro zone fell by around 4 percent. The reversal was so large that LDC exports of goods in 2010 were still below the 2008 level.
- ING has detailed a scenario where GDP in the Euro zone could fall by 8.9 percent in 2013 if the euro breaks up. A quick and rough calculation – using the 2009 crisis as reference – suggests that LDC countries could lose around $20 billion in income from exports to the Euro zone alone.
- A similar calculation on foreign direct investment suggests an additional loss in income of $10 billion. Foreign Direct Investment to LDCs fell by 20 percent in 2009 – from 32.3 to 26.4 billion – in the aftermath of the Lehman collapse. A euro collapse could mean a decrease in FDI flows of 10-11 billion to LDCs.
- Gross capital flows to developing countries plunged to $170 billion last year compared with $309 billion in 2010, according to the World Bank's 2012 'Global Economic Prospects' report.
- The least developed countries (LDCs) are a group of countries that have been identified by the UN as "least developed" in terms of their low gross national income (GNI), their weak human assets and their high degree of economic vulnerability. There are 48 countries currently on the UN's LDCs list. (Afghanistan, Angola, Bangladesh, Benin, Bhutan, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, the Central African Republic, Chad, the Comoros, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, the Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Kiribati, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nepal, Niger, Rwanda, Samoa, Sao Tome and Principe, Senegal, Sierra Leone, the Solomon Islands, Somalia, Sudan, Timor-Leste, Togo, Tuvalu, Uganda, the United Republic of Tanzania, Vanuatu, Yemen and Zambia.)
- Latest OECD figures show aid from rich countries was $133 billion in 2011 – a real terms fall of $3.4 billion.
- A group of G20 countries – Argentina, Brazil, France, Germany and South Africa – backed an FTT for development and climate change at the Cannes summit in November. It followed a report from Bill Gates which backed the policy.

Newsweek reviewing its future as print weekly
NEW YORK -- The head of the company that owns Newsweek says the publication is examining its future as a weekly print magazine.
During a conference call with analysts Wednesday, IAC/InterActiveCorp Chairman Barry Diller said that while Newsweek's "brand is good" around the world, producing a weekly news magazine in print form isn't easy.
Diller said IAC is examining all options for Newsweek and will have a plan in the coming months. He said little about what those options were. Short of going Internet only, Newsweek could publish its print editions less frequently.
"I can't tell you in what ways it will be different, but it will be different," Diller said, according to a transcript of the call, which was held to discuss IAC's quarterly earnings.
Magazines and newspapers have been trying to adapt to a world in which readers get more of their information from free websites and advertisers funnel more of their marketing budgets to less expensive alternatives online.
Mounting losses prompted The Washington Post Co. in 2010 to sell Newsweek for $1 to stereo equipment magnate Sidney Harman. Harman died the following year.
Before he died, he placed Newsweek into a joint venture with IAC's The Daily Beast website in an effort to trim the magazine's losses and widen its online audience.

- Nonstick vegetable oil spray
- 2 teaspoons (heaping) juniper berries
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 2/3 cups sugar plus more for coating
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
Recipe Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°. Coat a 13x9x2" glass baking dish with nonstick spray. Line bottom with parchment paper; spray parchment and set aside. Toast juniper berries in a small skillet over medium heat until aromatic, 2–3 minutes. Let cool. Finely grind in spice mill.
Sift flour, 1 2/3 cups sugar, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and ground juniper berries into a large bowl. Whisk buttermilk, oil, eggs, and 1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. water in a medium bowl. Whisk wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Pour batter into prepared baking dish; smooth top.
Bake cake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 35–40 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack. Cover and chill in freezer until frozen, about 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 weeks ahead. Wrap in 2 layers of plastic; keep frozen.
Unwrap cake and invert onto a work surface; discard parchment. Using a long serrated knife, trim cake to form clean edges. Cut cake in half lengthwise, then cut each half crosswise into 1 1/4-inch–wide bars.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour a layer of sugar onto a plate. Roll each bar in sugar, coating completely. Working in batches, caramelize cake in skillet, turning with tongs to brown evenly, about 30 seconds per side per batch (be careful; the sugar burns quickly). Serve warm, with Milk Jam Crème Fraîche.

- Submarine Groundwater Discharge-Derived Nutrient Loads to San Francisco Bay: Implications to Future Ecosystem Changes
- Description
- Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) was quantified at select sites in San Francisco Bay (SFB) from radium (223Ra and 224Ra) and radon (222Rn) activities measured in groundwater and surface water using simple mass balance box models. Based on these models, discharge rates in South and Central Bays were 0.3–7.4 m3 day−1 m−1. Although SGD fluxes at the two regions (Central and South Bays) of SFB were of the same order of magnitude, the dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) species associated with SGD were different. In the South Bay, ammonium (NH 4 + ) concentrations in groundwater were three-fold higher than in open bay waters, and NH 4 + was the primary DIN form discharged by SGD. At the Central Bay site, the primary DIN form in groundwater and associated discharge was nitrate (NO 3 − ). The stable isotope signatures (δ15NNO3 and δ18ONO3) of NO 3 − in the South Bay groundwater and surface waters were both consistent with NO 3 − derived from NH 4 + that was isotopically enriched in 15N by NH 4 + volatilization. Based on the calculated SGD fluxes and groundwater nutrient concentrations, nutrient fluxes associated with SGD can account for up to 16 % of DIN and 22 % of DIP in South and Central Bays. The form of DIN contributed to surface waters from SGD may impact the ratio of NO 3 − to NH 4 + available to phytoplankton with implications to bay productivity, phytoplankton species distribution, and nutrient uptake rates. This assessment of nutrient delivery via groundwater discharge in SFB may provide vital information for future bay ecological wellbeing and sensitivity to future environmental stressors.

Junsu, you don't need double eyelids! Your Korean eyes are BEAUTIFUL!
Absolutely! I always loved his beautiful eyes, he looked unique with them amongst all the stars with double eyelids.
aaaccckkkk he is so handsome why why why #dies
double-eyelids illusion, lmao >__<
I don't know what Junsu thinks but according to EatYourKimchi, in Korea, having double eyelids is more preferred than single eyelids (there's even double eyelids plastic surgery! [it was even rumored that lot of certain members in girl groups get them before debutting])
To be fair, I think LOTS of celebrities/other people get it, not just girl groups. 😀
And there's millions of korean people have double eyelid surgery…including my friends..hohoho..
Su has natural cuteness and beauty without going under the knife! Love you baby SU!!!!
Can't believe the honesty! LMAO
I know, right? This boy never try to hide anythingb from us
Junsu-yah, your beautiful tadpole eyes are your trademark. Even your Jaejoong hyungi loves them to the extend of painting them on glasses for orange juice at Coffee Cojjee
Really???!!! Do you have an image of those cups by chance? 😀
I do but I don't know how to upload it. Many people did.
But the pics of Coffee Cojjee are famous, maybe you could google pic them.
Susu, I love your beautiful tear-drop eyes, you don't need double eyelids.
me too me too! your eyes are beautiful and unique just the way they are!!! no need to look so ordinary when you have such gorgeous eyes to go with the rest of your gorgeous self! (get more sleep susu)
I think as he gets older he'll get double eyelids…
I love Jusu's eyes–especially when he wears eye makeup. His lips aren't bad, either. I just hope he doesn't get any plastic surgery…Junsu, you don't need it!
Can someone explain to me what double eyelid is. Even to this day I still do not understand what it look like on a person. Do Junsu have double eyelid in the pic above? Also, since I am asking about this can someone tell me what is the S line? I know it is based on how a person is built but I do not see why they would call it the S line?
Double eyelids are what we, Westerners have and what Junsu has in this picture. It's folded, made up of two parts. Like here (the first two pics are single eyelids and the third is double)
About the S line… It's a funny story actually, it comes from this CF:
Junsu shows a "S" sign with his fingers as the sign of the Smart clothes line and it's just like the contours of the girl at the end of CF. Like Junsu's nice figure. 😀 So it became his S-line. 😀
Did he shred some weight? His face looks thinner.
Juju you don't need double-eyelids, noooo T-T
Junsu you are handsome just the way you are
Hmm, they are confusion about Junsu tweet, the trans that i found circulating on twitter are diff, there is this version that give the impression that He WANTS double eyelid, there is also the other one that express His lids starting to FOLD BY THEMSELVES and forming double eyelids (this usually happen due to aging).
I see JYJ3 also change the trans here, from the former to the later. I dont understand though, why JYJ3 didnt put any note regarding that.
idk if it's just me who noticed…but it seems like people were assuming he really got surgery (or on twitter at least) … But I really doubt Junsu got them…They probably just happened as he gets older (It happened to my dad when I look at old pics) + losing weight which can cause sagginess …I mean why would Junsu get it on one eye and not the other.
It seems that Junsu is saying they are starting to fold as he is getting older, not that he wants double eyelids. Either way he looks great. 🙂
In the midst of the messy translations on twitter, I think he probably isn't going to do anything to his face since he is already well known for that certain feature. Junsu yah! If you are really into doubles then just let them fold naturally okay? That's possible over time and surgery for that will be a waste of money.
I already notice his double eye lid during the Germany concert press conference. at that time, I thought it just some make up tactic. Anyway, I hope he don't go for double eye lid surgery. he look great just the way he is.
He is actually saying that double eyelids are FORMING ON THEIR OWN … which can actually happen as someone gets OLDER or experiences significant amounts of STRESS, or due to irregular WEIGHT fluctuation [but that's less common]. I'm not exactly sure how people got the impression that he WANTED THEM specifically or that he was going to get surgery. But I'm guessing it's a translation issue. Anyway, a good number of people with mono lids eventually get double eyelids naturally with age. The exact age/time varies but it's usually genetic so some people can get them sooner than others depending on specific family traits. Unfortunately, the youth of S. Korea too often prefer to have a more dramatic look which is the current fashion and achievable with surgery or lid tape/glue which speed up the process.

http://mmajunkie.com At long last, Christian M'Pumbu has a date set for the first defense of his light heavyweight title.
M'Pumbu (18-4-1 MMA, 3-1 BFC), Bellator's 205-pound champion, next month will defend his belt at Bellator 84 against Attila Vegh (25-7-2 MMA, 4-0 BFC). Sources close to the promotion on Monday confirmed the news to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
Bellator 84 takes place Dec. 14 at The Venue at Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Ind., about 20 miles from Chicago. Main-card fights air on MTV2 following prelims on Spike.com.
Bellator 84 is the promotion's Season 7 finale and will be its last event on MTV2 before moving to Spike TV in January for the start of its eighth season. In addition to the light heavyweight title fight, Bellator 84, the company's third trip to Hammond and second this season following Bellator 75, will feature the finals of the Season 7 lightweight and heavyweight tournaments. Also on the card is a rematch between former training partners and current rivals Felice Herrig and Michelle Gutierrez.
The bout between M'Pumbu and Vegh is expected to close out the main card on MTV2 following the Herrig-Gutierrez fight and the two $100,000 tourney finals.
M'Pumbu won the Season 4 light heavyweight tournament by stopping Chris Davis, Tim Carpenter and current heavyweight tournament finalist Rich Hale with TKOs in the spring of 2011. But since his win over Hale in the finals at Bellator 45, M'Pumbu has fought just once.
In October 2011, he took a non-title fight against Travis Wiuff and went down to a unanimous decision at Bellator 55. That was M'Pumbu's most recent fight. His win in Season 4 was the promotion's first light heavyweight tournament, and Bellator didn't hold another tourney at 205 pounds until this past "Summer Series" in June, July and August, when Vegh won with a quick stoppage of Wiuff at Bellator 73.
Vegh ubmitted Zelg Galesic in the opening round of the tourney before a narrow split-decision win over Emanuel Newton in the semifinals. Then he took out Wiuff decisively to book his eventual title fight against M'Pumbu.
For more on Bellator 84, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of the site.

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street's cool kids have been booted from the lunchroom.
Technology and biotechnology companies, high-flying stocks over the last two years, have been beaten down the last three weeks. Many are now in bear territory, which is when a stock falls more than 20 percent from a recent high.
Twitter is down 35 percent since early March and Amazon.com has slid 19 percent. Biotechnology companies have been hit just as hard. Gilead Sciences is down 16 percent and Vertex Pharmaceuticals has fallen 23 percent.
Their sudden downfall comes as investors shift from riskier investments to safer areas like utilities, health care and consumer staples, say fund managers and market watchers. The sell-off in these former darlings, whose stock prices appealed to investors because their rise seemed unstoppable, has weighed on the overall market, especially the tech-heavy Nasdaq.
The Nasdaq is down 2.1 percent this month, on top of a 2.5 percent fall in March. The Dow Jones industrial average and Standard & Poor's 500 index fell less than half that amount last month.
A confluence of factors appears to have hurt biotech and tech stocks, market strategists say.
Investors have spent most of this year shifting away from riskier investments. The money pulled out of biotech and tech has gone into safer, dividend-paying stocks, like health care, consumer staple and utility companies. Investors typically buy utilities when they are concerned about volatility. Those companies pay big dividends, and demand for the power they generate tends to be stable, regardless of how the economy is doing.
While tech stock saw some gains Tuesday, utilities stocks rose sharply.
Other conservative investments have fared well. Bonds have outperformed the overall stock market in the first three months of 2014. And gold, which dropped 28 percent last year, is up 9 percent so far in 2014.
Investors have sought more security after last year's blockbuster stock-market performance, which saw the S&P 500 rise 30 percent and hit multiple record highs. There are growing worries about earnings. With earnings season arriving this month, investors want to play it safe, and tech and biotech stocks have no place at the table when the market is playing defense.
"There's clearly a rotation going on in the overall market away from these riskier stocks," says Neill Groom, a portfolio manager at Neuberger Berman.
Tech and biotech stocks are often among the most risky investments an investor can make in the broader stock market. They tend to rise more than the rest of the market and fall more, too. That's because they offer the possibility of higher growth, but also pose a greater risk of stumbling.
"I would not be surprised to see more selling in them because these companies often trade on momentum," says Andres Garcia-Amaya, a global equity strategist with J.P. Morgan Funds, adding that "right now the momentum is down."
Risky stocks have all been hurt by low expectations for corporate profits in the first quarter. It's expected that S&P 500 companies earned 1.2 percent less compared with the same period a year earlier. Also, 93 out of S&P 500's members have cut their first-quarter earnings outlook.
Lower profitability tends to hit riskier stocks harder because investors are less confident in a risky company's business.
"Expectations (at the beginning of the year) might have been a bit ahead of themselves," Garcia-Amaya says. "When a stock is trading at 40 to 50 times earnings, you don't need to find many reasons to bring that stock back down to earth."
For some wary investors, the recent tech drop may conjure bad memories of the 2000 dotcom bubble bursting. But money managers are quick to point out that even the more speculative technology stocks are nowhere as risky as the ones from 1999 and 2000.
When the dotcom bubble was at its frothiest back then, the Nasdaq traded at a price-earnings ratio of 194-to-1, meaning investors were paying $194 for every dollar of earnings the companies in the index brought in. The Nasdaq's P/E is now around 24-to-1.
Netflix, Amazon, Priceline.com and others have real business models with sales and profits. Twitter, while it hasn't made a profit, generates revenue from advertising and is expected to earn a modest profit this year, according to analysts. That's completely different from the metrics used by speculators in 2000 when dotcom companies were valued by dubious measurements such as "cash burn rates" and "eyeballs."
Groom says the sell-off has made several tech and biotech stocks more attractive than they once were, and says he might buy some individual names "opportunistically." But he's waiting.
"We don't know how long this bloodletting will go on," he says.
