FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Unicredit
Unicredit's German unit, which employs roughly 19,000 staff, will close almost 50 branches and thin out staff at the remaining ones, as customers increasingly switch to internet banking and rely less on face-to-face services, the person said.
Separately, some jobs will be shed as part of a structural overhaul that will split the bank's German in operations into two units - one for private clients and one for corporate customers.
The figure for job cuts has yet to be finalised and formal negotiations with labour representatives will start shortly another source said.
This year, the bank will cut 600 jobs, the second source said, confirming an earlier report of daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
Unicredit declined to comment.

Share a cup of coffee with your plants
To help your garden thrive this year, share a cup of coffee with it. OK, not exactly, but coffee contains nitrogen which according to TLC website is a "nutrient that produces green growth and strong stems." While we've seen arguments on both sides of the fence on whether coffee is really beneficial to plants, we love to share information that features coffee. We suggest doing your own research to decide if coffee is right for your plants.
If you decide that you want to utilize coffee in your gardening routine, check out the different ways to incorporate to help your plants grow big and strong this year.
Coffee grounds as a natural fertilizer
Sprinkle used coffee grounds onto the soil in your garden. Or you can mix the grounds with the top inches of the soil.
Diluted brewed coffee as a plant fertilizer
Do you have coffee leftover in your BUNN carafe after you morning cup of joe? Use this coffee to give your plants a drink. Warning- To use brewed coffee as fertilizer you will need to dilute it. TLC suggests a mixture of about ¼ coffee and ¾ water in your mixture. This weak coffee mixture should only be used about once per week. This diluted coffee fertilizer can be used on "potted plants, houseplants or on vegetable gardens. "
Use coffee as pest repellant.
Coffee is acidic and can be used as a pest barrier for your plants. Create a barrier of used coffee grounds to repel slugs, snails and ants.
Make a plant bed
According to eHow mixing coffee grounds with soil before planting helps the soil nourish and your plants thrive. It is recommended to till the top 6 to 8 inches of soil and then proceed with planting your garden. After planting, water the plants as this will release the nitrogen from the coffee grounds and give the plants a great start!

text: This magnificent home was built by Jimmy Rawhide Douglas, the owner of the mine in Jerome, as a wedding gift to his daughter. Thus the name, Honeymoon Cottage. And what a cottage it is. This Grand Dame of Jerome is over 6,000 square feet in two buildings. Built in 1921, The French Country building was totally renovated in 2001 by an elite team of Jerome craftsmen, headed by Harry Stewart. The current owner has written a book about the history of this home and its journey back to splendor. The view from The Honeymoon Cottage is of the entire Verde Valley. The covered porch, off the living room and dining room,faces east for beautiful sun and moon rises as well as cool summer afternoons. The doors open off the bedrooms upstairs for starry nights with pure Northern Arizona air. A lush lawn, fruit trees and 100 grape vines surround the home and lead to the 3 acres included in the sale price. An additional 7 acres adjoin and are also for sale.

Spore DRM Controversy Spawns Protest CreaturesConsumers upset over the anti-piracy measures imposed on Maxis' Spore by publisher Electronic Arts are now fighting back using the game's creature creator.
Several DRM-themed, anti-EA creatures were found in the Sporepedia by GameCulture. Many make reference to Spore's use of SecuROM technology, which limits users from installing the game more than three times before having to contact Electronic Arts for further installs.
Last week, the Spore product page on Amazon.com was flooded with hundreds of negative reviews of the game, nearly all citing the title's install-limiting DRM.
In response, Electronic Arts downplayed the controversy by stating that fewer than 25 percent of users will ever install the game on more than one machine, with less than 1 percent installing on more than three computers.

Murad Age Reform
Anti-Aging Products for Wrinkles
Genetic Aging is a process that eventually happens to everybody. The body's natural process of aging means that over time skin-firming collagen will begin to deplete and skin-smoothing elastin will weaken. As this process begins to take place, skin loses its support structure and fine lines and wrinkles form on the face and neck and in the sensitive skin around your eyes. Age Reform anti-aging products are developed to fight wrinkles by working to firm and hydrate skin, boost collagen production and improve cell turnover so that your firmest and most youthful looking skin is always exposed. Murad Age Reform products as part of an Inclusive Health™ lifestyle can give you firmer, more youthful skin that's Better Every Day®.
Anti-Aging Skin Care Resources
Before you select your anti-aging skin care regimen, make sure that you know the facts about Genetic Aging, wrinkles, loose skin and skin care.

Winter accessory binge and Tapestry Mittens
As it has grown colder in the last few weeks, I have been thinking a lot about my problem with winter accessories. You know, once I get an idea in my head, I cannot get rid of it! I have sketched, swatched, and stashbusted – finally, I have a plan! I'll share more once my yarn arrives. In the meantime, I can show you what did not work, for one reason or another.
Every winter, I fall into a stashbusting hat binge. So far, I've managed one adult hat and two newborn caps. I rediscovered why people make hats: they're such quick knits! It seems unfair that I have to learn this lesson every year. I think there will be a few more of these, if only because they knit up so quickly and effectively use up annoying scraps lurking in my stash.
Yarn: Knit Picks Wool of the Andes, Cascade 220, Debbie Bliss Merino Aran
Needles: US 7 (4.5 mm)
This project came closer to satisfying my criteria for the ultimate winter accessory knitting; however, the gauge was all wrong. Still, it's a good prototype for what will come.
Yarn: Harrisville New England Shetland
Needles: US 4 (3.5 mm)
Finally, speaking of winter accessories, I have a new pair of mittens in Interweave Knits Holiday 2009! The magazine will not be available until late October, but the preview was posted on Monday.
Pattern: Tapestry Mittens (Ravelry link), smallest size shown
Yarn: Classic Elite Yarns Fresco in Rum Raisin (red) and Sterling (gray), Classic Elite Yarns Classic One Fifty in Berry (purple)
Needle: US 1.5 (2.5 mm) and US 4 (3.5 mm)
29 comments so far
Those are amazingly gorgeous mittens (as are all of your projects!). I'm looking forward to the pattern.
Your colorwork is always so beautiful! I'm intrigued by the mystery blue and white project in the middle. And I can't wait to get that edition of Interweave.
Congrats on the pattern in INterweave. I was eyeing those as one of the patterns that would make me purchase the magazine.
Every year I make a hat for my niece who lives in Alaska, and every year I wonder why I don't make more hats, you are right, they are very satisfying knits.
I love those mittens!! They look to be exactly what my brain has been trying to visualize for mittens for this winter so I can't wait to get a copy of the magazine!
Congratulations! Because what my San Diego lifestyle really needs is more mittens . . .
Elinor — congrats on getting such a lovely pattern published!
I'm wondering, are the mittens lined with the purple 150?
Can't wait to knit these up.
I loved seeing the Tapestry Mittens in the preview last week! You have been so prolific lately!
Love the tapestry mittens!!! So. Much. Can't wait to knit them :)
Congratulations on the pattern! They are gorgeous!
Oh wow! The mitts are perfect. I had seen them on someone else's blog, but I didn't realize they were your design. Congratulations!
I knew there was a reason I loved those mitts when I first saw them – they're yours! Can't wait to make them.
Wow, I love the palm of those mittens. Congrats!
Those mitts might just have been my favorite project in the issue – nice job!
i love the pattern in the scarf. and those mittens are amazing! like little works of art for your hands.
those mittens are beautiful – can't wait till the issue comes out!
I'm so in love with the mittens…I saw the preview earlier this week and am buying yarn for them at Rhinebeck tomorrow!
Thanks for another beautiful pattern!
The mittens are so great!!
I am going to have to make some little hats too! I just don't know anything about newborns and how much they wear them, but I guess it can't hurt!
The Tapestry mitts are fantastic!!
I love the mittens–I will be waiting for the magazine to come out!
Congrats on your pattern in Interweave! It looks like a fantastic and beautiful pattern–I think I might need to make them.
Congratulations. The mittens are fantastic!
I could never knit like that, but I would die for at pair of the red ones…hmmmm….
What to do?
Thoughts from
Oooh, I love your new mittens in Interweave! I'm on a huge stranded fingering mitten kick right now, and these will fit right in…
Congratulations on the publication of your mitten pattern! They are especially lovely and the colours and wonderful!
I'm so behind on my blogreading (thanks to Rhinebeck), but I have to congratulate you on the Tapestry mitten pattern! They're gorgeous!
I really loved your mittens! They made me want to take up the needles and knit them now – and I have only ever made a pair for middle school home ec. project about 20 years ago!
Could you suggest any yarn substitutions – basically, I am looking for something that would be more or less readily available in Europe. I have found no Classic Elite stockists online so far. Many thanks in advance for your help!

WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Jo White is eyeing a former adviser to ex-SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt as a potential contender for a key post in the division that oversees financial markets, three people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Joseph Lombard, a market structure expert at law firm Murphy & McGonigle, is considered to be a leading candidate for a position in the agency's Trading and Markets Division, three of those people said.
A second name being floated for a possible job in the division is Chris Concannon, a former executive with Nasdaq OMX Group Inc who now works for high-frequency trading firm Virtu Financial LLC, according to three sources, who spoke anonymously because the discussions are non-public.

So, I dont know what to think about this commercial. Here, watch for yourself:
#1 At first glance, I felt an overwhelming urge to vomit, then to call for a doctor, as Bryce Harper is clearly in need of a clotting agent. The dude is bleeding out! Then I saw the pitcher similarly oozing and my next thought was
#2 Man, drinking Gatorade Fierce is really messy. I dont know that my home, my vehicle, my wardrobe, my anything could withstand the unrelenting assault of that much perspiration from every pore. And thats just a volume based analysis. Im not even touching on the stain removal elephant in the room. Nothing works on red liquids like thatnothing!
#3 - Does Gatorade Fierce not work for pitchers? Evidently, Gatorade Fierce is only effective in giving the guys with the lumber an advantage. Apparently if youre a hurler, it causes you to serve up straight meat on a string. If it were my commercial, I would not have featured a discharging pitcher, as well. Seems to me they have alienated that potential customerat least any of that potential customer who is employed by the Marlins.
#4 For a professional endeavor so clouded with PED controversy, an image of one of its stars literally juiced is, at best, poorly conceived.
#5 - At least Axl Rose is able to collect a paycheck for something in 2014. As a huge fan of GNR, Im happy to see that bone tossed his way.

Last night on Twitter, Dave Cameron responded to a statement made by Michael Morse that he was vehemently against being used in the designated hitter role: "My suggestion to all these guys that don't want to DH - Don't suck at fielding, then." That quote leads to today's post which is: Six fielders who should be DHs. Why six? Who knows. All posts in the last week have started with six. Just humor me. The problem identifying the top six worst defensive players is that Fangraphs and Baseball-reference.com do not always agree on defensive statistics. So the criteria becomes, then, who do both sites agree on as woeful fielders? Three years of data was used in the criteria and then players who are playing out of position are taken out. For example, nobody has lost more runs to average for his fielding than Shawn Kemp. Well, that is because he should not be playing center field. Should we punish Kemp for playing out of position? Perhaps so. But it did not seem fai...

That's incredible. She doesn't even look like the same person!
The last time my parents saw me, I was a lot heavier than I am now. Today, I overheard my extremely PC dad telling my aunt 'You know, she's not at all fat anymore. In fact, she's quite slim'. The funny thing is that no one told me anything about my weight when I was in fact, "fat" (I was getting to be overweight for my height).
No I haven't been up there. On my list of things to do though. I wouldn't camp. But we really would like to head up to Duluth and that area and might do that in the spring (they already have had some snow up there!) now that I can found I could leave the dogs once.
The lakes are pretty...I think I just take them for advantage like most people do when you live somwhere....haven't seen Superior but I grew up within walking distance of Lake Michigan.
I could relate to that and have similar photos except mine aren't on digital but in my album. There is something weird about looking in the mirror and not recognizing who you see. I kind of think that I stopped the loss subconsciously when I got about a size 18 (had a few tops in 14/16). I know that is big to most people but felt almost too thin to me and I felt like if I got thinner, I would look sickly and have issues with skin...which I didn't at the thinnest I got. I still feel pretty stupid for allowing as much regain to happen as I did.....I knew better than that and should have been able to prevent it.
But on the good side, since it was below freezing at nights now, I was back in my jeans all weekend and last spring they were tight and not something I would want to wear more than out shopping or for a short time. I was in them all day for three days and they were fine....fitted but not too tight and they were comfortable enough (I mean they are jeans and never as comfortable as jammies!). Would really like to see about 40 more lbs gone.
So...not to change the subject but my great friend at work is fighting with her son's school. The English teacher gave an assignment that the students had to do a book report on any book they wanted, fiction or non. When her son wanted to do it on a book in the Bible he was flat out told he could not. It is a public school.
I adore Faye and she is a believer. I think it's an interesting point of view and I tend to agree with her. If the kids are told they can write on ANY book, then that should indeed include ANY book. Period.
Oh that is a lot for one year of loss. I mean I did the same but had surgery. It can be dangerous to lose that much that quickly. I know for at least six months I had to take medicine to hopefully prevent gall bladder issues....such a problem for fast weight loss that if they do the surgery totally open they take it out right away. I had laprascopic surgery (they checked the gall bladder as part of pre-op) so they left mine alone and tried the medication. Worked for me.
I think that there is also concern about the bones when weight is lost very quickly.
That weight loss link is awesome! It reminds me of our old secular friend Jenny. I still follow her on FB because I admire her determination to lose all that weight! I'm pretty proud of myself that I lost 25 pounds in 6 months. LOL. And that was simply by cutting the junk food, counting calories and going to the gym 4 times a week.
Chrissy, that's a tough one about the Bible and the book report. I can remember in my high school English class, we read the story of creation because it was an excerpt in our text books, but it was taught as any other myth is taught. I can't see why they'd say no to him giving a report on it....but why would he want to do a report on the Bible? It's such a long story!
What age group is the kid, Chrissy? I just sincerely doubt that he could read the entire bible, with any level of comprehension, in the amount of time provided for the book report. It's very long and not a smooth read.
D-Mama (37) D-Dada (43) and D-Baby (11/02/2011)
If any 17-year-old can write a report on one book in the Bible, I'm thinking this kid could do it. He's a great kid. Super great. Very polite, well mannered, hasn't really been in too much trouble (drank 4 beers when he was 14, and then smoked oregano wrapped in printer paper thinking he'd bought marijuana ) He volunteers for the fire department and always puts gas in his mom's car whenever he drives it anywhere. He'd put thought serious into it, I have no doubt.
Yes, that was my first thought. What are the teacher's reasons for not wanting him to use that book? Could it be that it's just not a practical book to choose for a book report? I mean how do you sum that up?
Lol...I shouldn't ask that here!
Ok we posted at the same time again.
Yowzers about the rattler L!!! That would have freaked me out and I LOVE snakes. One of my cousins had two rattlers, a boa constrictor, and a python when I was growing up and I thought they were fascinating. I also loved catching garter snakes as a kid and have caught them even as an adult to show Ky. I don't anymore because DH always wants to keep them.
He found another lizard and I convinced him to let it go. If you don't remember, he found one when I went on my cruise in April and put it ouside in the sun because he thought it needed to bask (when I told him it probably didn't and he should look it up to be sure) and it died.
There are a lot of little lizards around our house and he was cleaning out the back of his pickup and found what looked like an egg back there, picked up the egg and placed it in the corner of the truck and the little lizard popped out and started running around, the kids were excited to see that, especially Elle. Luckily DH let it go after two days because it wouldn't eat the bugs he was giving it. I'm glad it was smart enough to hurry up and escape lol.
And I think that is weird about them not letting the kid do the report about the Bible too. And honestly, I do think that one can do a report about specific passages/books of the bible, like Job or Ezra, or certain parts of Genesis and Exodus. It can be done, but I also would wonder about the age of the child and if he even understood the metaphorical aspects of those stories or if he was looking at this report as an opportunity to evangelize his teacher and/or classmates. If I were his teacher, I would have let him do the report. I don't see how it would be an issue actually.
ETA: Posted around the same time as you Chrissy and saw he is a senior, they should let him do the report.

Yup, they should.
No doubt, the teacher screwed up. IMO, she should've let him do what he wanted, and evaluated the work on its merits. If it went into the territory of proselytizing, then the grades should reflect that.
I hadn't seen your additional comments before I posted, Chrissy. Yes, if he's a HS senior and it's just one book of the bible, I don't see any good reason to prohibit him. If they wanted to avoid controversy, they should have given the kids a book list.

I think it's really silly not to let him do a report on a book from the Bible. If I had to guess what was going thru the teachers' head, the one thing that'd make quasi-sense to me would be if she's looking for a report that focuses on literary elements of a chosen story. Even then, though, books of the Bible can translate into pretty good literature. I mean, if you can do a book report on Beowulf, you can do one on just about any book of the Bible, except maybe ones like Proverbs or Psalms, which are more like long lists than stories. I guess if the report required some discussion on protagonist, antagonist, conflict, climax, denouement, etc, you'd be hard-pressed to find those elements in the more list-like books of the bible.
Back to my meetings. I'm on my 4th cup of tea already. It's gonna be a long day.
I think the fear of it being associated with Christianity made her lose her senses. This school is absolutely bizarre. The kids were greeted with the standard set of rules, but they were all written as "Thou shalt not...." Each and every one of them. If my kids went there, I'd have had a stroke. But then they stopped saying the pledge of allegiance because it has God in it. They're hillbillies and contradict themselves over and over again.
Yeah, they sound kinda confused about the religion clauses of the first amendment.
I even think you can do a report about Proverbs or Psalms. Both are poetic in nature and many have the same themes and one could pick and chose a group of them. We wrote about Psalms especially in college. It was a poetry class and we wrote about them and the sonnets of Shakespeare, Petrarchan sonnets, and even the book Song of Solomon in the bible due to it being a love poem.
Like I said, don't even see why they would have an issue with that at all. I had to read all kinds of religious texts in a World Religions course in high school when I was a junior. I actually think they should have more courses like that for high school students but I know a lot of parents would get upset at the thought of their kid learning about a different religion. My youngest brother went to Catholic school (as does my oldest nephew right now) and my mom almost didn't send him there because she was worried he would become Catholic since at that time, she didn't consider Catholics to be Christians because they were "idolators" in her eyes lol. Not sure if she still believes that, but we do have some interesting conversations and she won't flat out insult people based on their religion or anything, except for people who come to her house and try to convert her - like JWs and Mormons and she has proselytized them so much that she thinks they have blacklisted her as she now tries to flag them down and they ignore her. She is really funny talking about trying to convert the religious converters who come to her house.
Culture and most english literature are heavily infused with biblical references. I actually believe that the bible NEEDS to be a part of english lit classes, because quite frankly, you're going to miss out on a lot of allegory and subtext and symbolism if you don't have some basic bible knowledge. It's everywhere. It's completely ignorant of a literature instructor to deny or ignore the importance of the bible in a literary sense.

awww Kate....I HAVE lost that much. I think it was about 167 lbs that I lost. I still have a hard time losing 20 lbs. It's hard no matter what....even surgery was hard and not the easy way because the restrictions were so incredible during the losing phase.....and it is really pretty depressing to eat nothing but cottage cheese for a month (it was 3 months before I was allowed anything NOT protein).
That is amazing, Jennifer. I beat myself up about not losing an extra 5 lbs. of belly flab so I can't imagine the strength that would take.
I remember taking a humanities class in college and writing a lengthy compare/contrast of the Epic of Gilgamesh and the story of Noah's flood in the Bible. I did another assignment that was a dialogue between St. Augustine and St. Patrick that is probably one of the best things I've ever written. I wonder where that is? I'd love to read it again. Both of those assignments were for public schools, although at the college level, not high school. But I definitely think a smart hs senior can do a good job of discussing one book of the Bible, although some books are more complex and obscure than others.
I also agree that it is an important foundation for understanding literature. Not necessesarily to read cover to cover, but to be familiar with the themes. I remember when I was a music major we sang a LOT of religious music. Not just Christmas music (and we did sing Hannukah songs, too) but all through the year. Some students complained about it, and the faculty basically said, tough. The western music tradition revolved heavily around religious music until the past century or so, and to ignore that part of the tradition would be ridiculous. No one cared what we believed and I'm sure some of the faculty were atheist/agnostic. It's beautiful music, anyway.

My wedding picture....I was about around my heaviest...might have gotten 10 higher than there but close enough. And actually the dress was rather slimming. Wish that I had a digital scan of the ones I did the morning of surgery.....I did a series of them in the same clothes for as long as I could. The other one was at my thinnest when we went to Disneyworld.
Currently I'm between the two pictures.

Sigh. We are dealing with beauty and it's driving me batty. The conversation just went like this while Max & Ruby and the bunnies were putting on make up.
Lilly (she will be four next month) "Ruby is putting on make up to make her beautiful because bunnies are not beautiful."
Me "What?? Why do you think bunnies are not beautiful? And honey, make up does NOT make someone beautiful."
Lilly "But at a party, we put on makeup to make us beautiful"
Me "No darling, we put on makeup just for fun. Makeup never makes someone beautiful. People are beautiful when they smile, or laugh, or read or play. Those things can make someone beautiful. Make up has nothing to do with it."
Now I rarely rarely rarely ever wear makeup and maybe a handful of times over the last year, DH and I have gone out over the weekend (in the afternoon while MIL watches kids) and I have worn make up. But I don't think that's where this is coming from. She was at a birthday party last spring and a lady was painting faces. She used to work at Disney and did a princess face on Lilly and Lilly was beaming from ear to ear. Everyone was commenting every 30 seconds how beautiful she looked and it was after that that she started asking me if she could put on makeup to make her beautiful.
Ugh, how do I undo this?
