Swiss private bank Pictet & Cie. has launched a UCITS III-compliant version of its three-and-a-half-year-old European long/short hedge fund.
The PTF(LUX)-Corto Europe fund will follow a strategy similar to Pictet Funds' Corto European Fund. That vehicle, domiciled in the Cayman Islands, has enjoyed 7.6% annualized returns since its debut in August 2006.
Pictet plans to register the new fund in most major European countries. Initially, it will be offered in three share classes—euro, U.S. dollar and Swiss franc—but Pictet has not ruled out adding other currencies depending on demand.
The new fund will be managed by Nils Francke and Philippe Sarreau. The fundamental-research-based fund will concentrated on smaller mid-cap companies—those with a market cap of less than €5 billion.

TCU changes leagues, the Hurricanes' job opening, RichRod and more. The editors debate.
Athlon editors Steven Lassan, Mitch Light and Braden Gall debate five burning questions about Championship Week in college football:
Follow us on twitter: @AthlonBraden / @AthlonSteven / @AthlonMitch
1. Should a one-loss BCS team play in the title game over an unbeaten TCU?
Mitch Light: If it is Oregon, no. If it is Auburn, no, but only because Auburn's one loss will have come in the SEC Championship Game, and I don't think a team that did not win its league should have a shot at the national title. Is TCU better than Stanford? Wisconsin? Ohio State? Who knows. The point is moot, though, because TCU is ahead of those three teams in the BCS Standings and will remain ahead of them barring some drastic shifts in the two human polls. TCU is very, very good and has proven on the field that it is one of the elite teams in the nation this season.
Braden Gall: There is a large grey area in this question — and I believe it applies to all polls or rankings anywhere. How do we reconcile what we know/think to what we have seen on the field? Is James Madison a better football team than Virginia Tech? Of course not. Do I believe that Auburn might be a better football team than TCU? Probably. Do they deserve the right to play for the national championship if they cannot even win their own conference? Absolutely not. I also do not believe you can bring a one-loss Auburn into the discussion without also including Stanford, Wisconsin, Ohio State and Michigan State. How do any of us know what would happen if those six (with TCU) "played-off" for a right to face Oregon? The final issue could be allowing the "mid-major" its shot this year to get it over with. If TCU plays Oregon and gets smoked, we could end the non-AQ talk all together.
Steven Lassan: If Auburn or Oregon loses this Saturday, TCU should get a spot in the national championship game over a one-loss team. Sure, the Mountain West isn't as strong as the SEC or Pac-10, but the Horned Frogs are undefeated and deserve a chance to play for the title. The Tigers certainly have a strong resume, but I've never been a fan of allowing a team that doesn't win its conference to play for a national title.
2. Did TCU make the right move by joining the Big East?
Mitch: Probably. You can argue that the school should have waited around for a few years to jump on board possible expansion in the Big 12, but it's hard to turn down an invitation to a conference with an automatic tie-in to a BCS bowl. We all want a playoff (or most of us do), but we are stuck with the BCS for the foreseeable future, so you can't expect a school from a non-AQ conference to turn down a bid to the Big East.
Braden: I do not know if any conversations have taken place between Big 12 commish Dan Beebe and the powers that be at TCU, but I would have held out for their offer. The Big 12 will have to expand at some point in order to keep up with the rest of college football, and TCU would have been my first phone call. The competition might be easier in the Big East than the Big 12, and the Frogs have expanded their recruiting base some. However, the roster will still be made up largely of kids from the Lone Star State. And in reality, does the Big East really give an unbeaten TCU a better shot at making the national title game? See the 2009 Cincinnati Bearcats.
Steven: I think so. The Horned Frogs get an automatic bid to the BCS and join a better league. If the Mountain West was composed of BYU, Utah and Boise State, then a strong argument could have been made that moving to the Big East was the wrong move. However, without BYU and Utah, the Mountain West isn't looking as strong. The geographic fit may be imperfect and 17 basketball schools will be odd, but this gives the Horned Frogs a better opportunity to play for a BCS bowl every year and increases their profile for a potential move to the Big 12 – if it decides to expand.
3. Does firing Randy Shannon send the wrong message?
Mitch: It sends the message that Miami wants to win more football games. The school isn't giving the next coach the green light to return to the renegade days of the '80s and '90s. Randy Shannon did a great job cleaning up the program's image, but he simply didn't win enough games. Can you win big at Miami and do so with guys who stay out of trouble? That remains to be seen. It is still a great job with an unbelievable recruiting area, but it's not the job it was 10 or 20 years ago. But to specifically answer the question: I don't think firing a coach who didn't win games sends the message that all you care about is winning. It's not that simple.
Braden: Miami is a tricky beast. There is very little fan support, the facilities need upgrading and the stadium is 30 minutes from campus, but they want to compete for national titles every year. Randy Shannon was an excellent ambassador for the University. I also believe, had his starting quarterback not gotten hurt and was given more time, that Miami would be competing for ACC titles (which isn't really too far from what they were doing already, come to think about it — their record of 5-3 this year was third to only the Hokies and Noles). I commend Shannon for how he conducted business and the example he set for his players while still competing at a high level. Was it 34 straight wins good? No, but be careful what you wish for. Is a national title worth gang warfare on the field, actual murder and strapped defensive backs returning gunfire in his frontyard?
Steven: This firing certainly shows that no matter how well your team does in the classroom or how quiet it is in the police blotter, you have to win games. Although Randy Shannon did a lot of great things at Miami, the Hurricanes expect to compete for ACC and national championships. College football is a business and Miami wasn't satisfied with a 7-5 record, especially with poor fan support all year. Whoever takes over in Coral Gables will be in good shape next year, with plenty of young talent on the roster. Although Miami was disappointed with how 2010 worked out, had Shannon coached this team in 2011, there's a good chance the Canes would've played for the ACC title.

One of the biggest questions for any design freelancer is "what should I charge?" The second question is "should I publish a price list for potential clients?"
The answer to the first question includes a lot of variables, and only you can determine what a fair market rate is for the quality and scope of work you do in the market where you do business. In terms of the second question, a price sheet can provide a starting point between freelancers and clients. Today, we'll look at the pros and cons of publishing a price sheet so you can decide if that's the right option for you!
It doesn't get much more minimal than that classic Nike Swoosh. The design is simple, iconic and you'd be hard-pressed to find someone that doesn't know what it stands for. The logo is the company.
And it's so minimalistic. That same concept is trending again in logo design. Minimal logos are the "in" thing from brand marks to badges on website home pages. Whether you have a logo or not, there are plenty of great ways to incorporate this minimal logo style into your design work.
No matter what type of app you are creating, have created, or plan to create, design mistakes can be lethal when it comes to adoption and usage. Users want to download apps that are fun, functional and offer value during multiple uses. Users also want apps that are aesthetically pleasing and don't require a lot of effort to interact with.
The problem for designers is that sometimes we are so close to a project that we miss glaring mistakes in design and usability because we know how it works. Today, we're going to help you make a mental checklist of mistakes to look for and avoid in app design.
Designers and freelancers of all types often have one thing in common: the need for tools to streamline workflows and stay organized. So there's always a bit of excitement surrounding new tools that can help you do just that.
Rindle, which is currently in private beta, is one of those tools. What sets it apart from the pack is that it is built to work with many of the apps you are already using to streamline daily tasks and keep you on track. Here's a look at how it works.
Whimsy: capricious humor or disposition; extravagant, fanciful, or excessively playful expression. Adding a touch of whimsy to a project is an easy, and fun, way to lighten up the mood of the design.
From small elements to a full-scale whimsical design, these touches can draw in users because of their simple charm. Whimsy is most often associated with more feminine projects and common for designs that focus on children, but that's not always the case. Many of the trendier retro styles that have been growing in popularity also incorporate a distinct sense of whimsy. Here are a few ideas to help you incorporate whimsy into your projects.
Managing devices is one of those business problems that you don't hear a lot about. But how do you keep up with all your Apple devices across your agency or business? Do you know which users have what equipment and apps?
Bushel is a tool that makes this inventory process that much simpler. It is a cloud-based Mobile Device Management solution for the iPads, iPhones and Macs in your workplace. Bushel makes device management accessible and affordable for everyone, so businesses can support their users without help from IT. Here's a look at how it works.
It seems like the demand to get more work done (and in less time) is a constant battle. For freelancers, juggling client needs and deadlines can be tough. It can make you question whether it is possible to become a faster, more efficient designer.
Chances are that you can. There are time sucks lurking around every corner when you work as a freelancer and identifying these traps can help you avoid them and work more efficiently. You can also learn to better use available tools and shortcuts to maximize your time. Here are a few ways to do it.
So many of the skills that get you through a day on the job weren't things you necessarily learned in the classroom. From working with other people, to tools, to listening to your gut, there are a lot of skills that you develop along the way.
Whether you came up through design school or are more of a self-taught designer, there are a lot of things you probably didn't formally learn (but know and use every day). If you are still in school or thinking about going into a design-related field, you're in luck because you can start thinking about these things now. It's never too late to learn and expand your marketability. (As a bonus, this post is filled with every day projects from the Design Shack Gallery; go check them out.)
While one of the best parts of the job for a small business or freelancer is getting paid, one of the worst parts is the paperwork you have to do ahead of that payment. If you are still creating manual invoices, it might be time to look at a cloud-based system that can help you keep track of clients and streaming invoicing.
Invoicely is a powerful online invoicing tool that many small businesses can use for free. The software has been used to send more than 2 million invoices in the past 30 days. Today we're going to take a look at how it works, and decide if it's a good solution for your freelancing business!
Is updating your portfolio a chore? Is it one of those tasks you can never find time to do? Adobe Portfolio might just be the answer.
Adobe's new portfolio tool – yes, the same Adobe behind industry standard graphic design and editing software – is easy to use and can help you get your work online in short order. Today we're taking a look at how it works, why it's a solid contender in this space, and how it can help you build a professional online portfolio.
How many times a day do you look at your phone? Its a statistic that always amazes me, but the average person looks at their phone 46 times per day.
Every one of those glances is an interaction between the design and the user. These micro-moments are a vital part of the user experience. How an interaction such as a notification or alert works can make the difference between retaining a user and losing one. It's your job to design these micro-moments in a way that is usable and memorable. Here's how to do it.
Everyone with a website needs a style guide. It's that simple. If you're wanting to instil more consistency in your project, and get everyone on the same page, your style guide will become invaluable.
Now that we have that out of the way, what exactly do you put in that guide? And how do you make sure other people on the team follow the rules so that your visual presence maintains consistency? That's a little more complicated. Let's dive into the topic today.

CHICAGO, Jan. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cour Pharmaceutical Development Company, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company, announced today the publication of new data in Science Translational Medicine that shows the potential of its proprietary therapy, known as Immune Modifying Nanoparticles (IMP), to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair and regeneration in patients who have suffered a heart attack. More than 750,000 patients suffer from heart attacks & related complications each year.
When animal models were injected with IMPs after a heart attack, the size of the heart lesions were reduced by 50 percent allowing the heart to pump significantly more blood. IMP treatment showed reduced inflammation and promoted regeneration in all models tested.
"This is the first therapy that specifically targets a key driver of the inflammation that occurs after a heart attack," said Daniel Getts, Chief Scientific Officer at Cour. "There is no other therapy on the horizon that can protect the heart from the aggressive immune cell infiltration that causes so much damage."
Originally discovered in the laboratory of Professor Nicholas King, at the University of Sydney, the particles are proprietary compositions based on poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid, a biocompatible and biodegradable substance already approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in a range of therapeutics.
"IMP therapy represents a significant step toward the next generation of immune modulating agents," said John J. Puisis, CEO of Cour. He added, "Our first priority as a company is to bring IMPs to patients who've suffered acute myocardial infarction, where we see a tremendous opportunity to improve clinical outcomes and quality of life."
The therapy also showed efficacy in numerous other inflammatory models, specifically in West Nile Virus, Encephalitis, Peritonitis, Multiple Sclerosis, and Inflammatory Bowel Disease - all with the potential to benefit patients suffering from these inflammatory diseases.
Getts and King are corresponding authors on the paper, which was published January 15, 2014 in Science Translational Medicine.

"I'm always leery about reading all the ultra positive reviews for places but .... all the "excellent reviews" are TRUE. Tina and John make sure you have everything you need to make sure your stay is one to remember. From my initial phone conversations to finally meeting her at the condo Tina was more than helpful and accommodating in making our stay memorable. The first thing my wife noticed after walking in was ... how clean it was. That remark is very important for me as she is a stickler for cleanliness and has walked out of condos before after seeing them. This one passed her test ... in spades. The condo's location is a short drive to all the great Indian Rocks Beach restaurants, pharmacies and other important landmarks. The views out the sliding glass door are breathtaking as is the calming views of the Waterway out back gives residents a chance to see water everywhere. And the pool ... well the big decision each day was whether to start the day at the beach or pool. Tough choices. But don't worry because there are ample pool toys and such as well as beach chairs and an umbrella on site to make the beach experience enjoyable. If Tina says she wants to hear from you if ANYTHING is wrong or needs attention she is truly wanting you to call her if problems arose. We had issues with the pool filter that she appreciated the call about and it was remedied in a short amount of time. In short my wife, two kids and I LOVED this week at the condo and can't wait to get back. As my wife said ... this condo is the first one we've rented that I want to return to. Thanks Tina and John for a great week!"Guest: Bill E. Date of Stay: June 2016 Review Submitted: June 30, 2016View listing
"This apartment was the perfect spot for a month of relaxation. Greeted with a bottle of wine, I immediately felt at home. There was a million dollar view that kept me mesmerized.

"Had a blast staying at this wonderful location! Clearwater Beach is the perfect place for a family getaway! Stayed at this location with my parents, two children, and my sister and her husband. There was more than enough room for all of us. The kitchen has everything you may need, and a small store is within walking distance. Note that one bedroom (the one with the Florida Gators bed) has a very small bed, and would be a little cramped for two people. My kids loved the movies in the bunk bed room, and had a blast sitting in the hot tub on the roof morning, noon, and night! The elevator was great for my dad, who has a bad knee (there are a lot of steps in this condo). All in all, my family loved this condo. My only complaints are that the carpet is a bit dirty, and the place could use a fresh coat of paint. However, with two kids staying there, it was nice to not worry too much about the carpet. The garage contains many beach chairs, an umbrella, a small cooler, volleyballs, and tons of sand and water toys. It also has high chairs and an umbrella stroller. This condo is a good value overall , especially for a large family with children. Also remember that the traffic into and out of Clearwater Beach can be a huge nightmare, so keep this in mind."Guest: Katie M. Date of Stay: March 2016 Review Submitted: April 4, 2016View listing

Issac Ellwood saw a good thing when he got into business with Jacob Haish and produced barbed wire. The Ellwood House mansion was built by Issac Ellwood for his family. He and his wife lived in the house until passing away in 1910. Perry Ellwood and his wife inherited the home at that time. The home is restored to the...
The Ellwood House is an ornate, well preserved late 19th century mansion. It is opulent without being gaudy, and it is well worth visiting. It is the kind of place you drive by and wish you could live there. Although I wouldn't want to after going through:. Great museum, not necessarily a place to move into!
Very nice informative and fun tour
So interesting to learn the past history about families and how the came up with the barb wire idea
Ellwood did not invent barbed wire but he sure knew what do to with it and the house he built shows it. Superb wood lines the entrance hall, an Venetian blown glass chandelier hangs in the stairwell. The stained glass windows look to be from the 1920s. The living room fireplace is of Caen limestone, imported from France probably around...
I went on a tour with my son who had missed the school trip while he was out sick. We had a great tour of a turn of the past century mansion. Ellwood House is the centrally located Mansion of the family of one of the inventors of the trademarked barbed wire for fencing. It is a beautifully maintained home...
We live nearby this historic mansion. It is furnished and decorated with many original pieces of furniture as well as a number of personal possessions from the family that lived in it. It is sometimes characterized as "the house barbed wire built". Guided tours available for a reasonable fee. Check the website for hours. This beautiful turn-of-the-century home sits in...
Fascinating old house and museum in old DeKalb, IL. Well worth your time. I can't remember if it was handi-cap friendly or not, better call ahead. It is part of the fascinating history of old DeKalb, IL "The Barbed Wire Capital".
I've been to Ellwood house many times over the years. The barb wire history portion is nice and informative.
But it is the beautiful mansion that makes an outing worthwhile. By far, holiday time is the best time to go. Love all the decorations and history.
this house museum in Dekalb Illnois is worth a side trip if you are anywhere in the area. It is extremely well done, furnished in the time period it was lived in, with lovely gardens and intriguing outbuildings, including a child sized house that kids can walk through, adults too if they bend over a bit. The tour was well...
Who knew that a person could make their fortune in the field of barbed wire. Now here's an opportnity to find out not only about the family and their home, but an industry that is unknown to most folks. Stop by, take the tour ... you wont be disappointed.

A lady does not smoke cheroot. She does not ride astride. She does not fence or attend duels. She does not fire a pistol, and she never gambles at a gentlemen s club.Lady Calpurnia Hartwell has always followed the rules, rules that have left her unmarried and more than a little unsatisfied. And so she s vowed to break the rules and live the life of pleasure she s been missing.But to dance every dance, to steal a midnight kiss to do those things, Callie will need a willing partner. Someone who knows everything about rule-breaking. Someone like Gabriel St. John, the Marquess of Ralston charming and devastatingly handsome, his wicked reputation matched only by his sinful smile.If she s not careful, she ll break the most important rule of all the one that says that pleasure-seekers should never fall hopelessly, desperately in love."show more

Down in the Islands
The past five centuries have been a roller coaster ride for Caribbean countries slavery, British imperialism, U.S. imperialism, wars of independence and emancipation, and all that fun stuff. But unless the History Channel airs a Historys Mysteries episode on a long lost slave colony, your best bet for an artful, educational look at the region is the exhibit Caribbean Collage. Straight from the University of Floridas George A. Smathers Libraries, the collage is just that, featuring photographs, drawings, diaries, and other documents from the British West Indies, Haiti, and Cuba. It s full of politics, business, and even a little vodou. Caribbean Collage is on display now through June 4 at the Historical Museum of Southern Florida (101 W. Flagler St., Miami). Call 305-375-1657, or visit www.historical-museum.org.

O'zbekiston bilan aloqalarni mustahkamlayotgan AQSh Davlat kotibi muovini Robert Bleykning tan olishicha, huquq bobida progress bo'lishi kerak.
O'tgan hafta Toshkentda AQSh-O'zbekiston yillik maslahat kengashi bo'lib o'tdi. Xavfsizlik, Afg'oniston, qoradori savdosiga qarshi kurash, savdo va sarmoya, huquq va demokratiya hamda madaniy rishtalar muhokama qilindi.
Tomonlar bugungi aloqalar ko'lamidan mamnun, lekin Davlat kotibi muovini Robert Bleyk (Robert Blake) ning tan olishicha, respublika inson huquqlari bobida oldinga siljishi kerak. So'z va matbuot erkinligi, diniy erkinlik, fuqaro huquqlari...
Diplomat bilan Davlat departamentida suhbatda bo'ldik.

Tomonlar bugungi aloqalar ko'lamidan mamnun, lekin Davlat kotibi muovini Robert Bleyk (Robert Blake) ning tan olishicha, respublika inson huquqlari bobida oldinga siljishi kerak. So'z va matbuot erkinligi, diniy erkinlik, fuqaro huquqlari...
Diplomat bilan Davlat departamentida suhbatda bo'ldik.
Navbahor Imamova: 15-avgust kuni Oqsaroyda mehmon bo'lib, O'zbekiston rahbari Islom Karimov bilan muloqot qildingiz. Biror konkret masala haqida gap ketdimi?
Robert Bleyk: Qator masalalar, xususan Afg'onistonni muhokama qildik. U yerdagi o'zaro manfaatlar haqida gaplashdik. Shuningdek, hamkorlikni kengaytirish uchun boshqa muhim sohalarga ham urg'u berdik, jumladan inson huquqlari.
Navbahor Imamova: O'zbekiston va AQSh Afg'oniston kelajagi yuzasidan bir fikrda deya olasizmi? Siz qanchalik optimist ruhda bo'lmang, Toshkentda rasmiylar Afg'onistondda 2014-yilgacha ahvol yaxshilanmasligi va xalqaro koalitsiya chiqib ketgach, yanada orqaga ketishi mumkin deya mulohaza yuritayapti. Vashington bu xavotirlarga qanday javob berayapti?
Robert Bleyk: 2014-yildan keyin Afg'onistonda nima bo'ladi deb xavotirlanishayotgani rost. Men o'zim O'zbekistondagi hamkorlarimizga AQSh Afg'onistonni tashlab qo'ymaydi deb aytib kelyapman, ayniqsa 2014-yildan keyin, ham iqtisod, ham xavfsizlik bobida. Biz mintaqaga nisbatan faol siyosat yuritishda davom etamiz. O'zbekiston bilan yaqindan ishlashda davom etamiz. Ularga xavfsizlikni saqlashda yordam beramiz. Shimoliy Ta'minot Tizimiga hissa qo'shayotgani uchun bu davlat tahdid ostida qolmasligi kerak. Biz bu borada ko'maklashamiz.
Navbahor Imamova: 2014-yildan keyin mintaqada AQSh harbiy kuchlari bo'ladimi? Biror yangi baza ochish niyati bormi Vashingtonning?
Robert Bleyk: Ko'p narsa Afg'onistonda qancha qo'shinga ega bo'lishimizga bog'liq. Biz yaqinda Afg'oniston bilan strategik bitim imzoladik. Bu hujjat 2014-2024-yillar orasida qanday hamkorlik qilishimiz uchun zamin yaratadi. Endigi qadam - xavfsizlikni ta'minlash bobida ikki tomonlama kelishuv imzolash. Bu hujjat qancha va qanday qo'shinga ega bo'lishimizni belgilab beradi. Bu borada muzokaralar shu kuz boshlanishi kerak, va ular qancha vaqt davom etishini hozirdan aytish qiyin. Markaziy Osiyoda esa, men O'zbekistonda aytganimdek, harbiy baza ochmoqchi emasmiz. Respublika Shimoliy Ta'minot Tizimida ishtirok etayotganidan mamnunmiz.
Navbahor Imamova: Qirg'iziston Manasning tijoriy tranzit markaziga aylanishini istayapti. AQShning javobi nima?
Robert Bleyk: Biz Qirg'iziston hukumati bilan bu borada gaplashayapmiz. Hozirgi bitim 2014-yilning yarmigacha amalda. Demak, hali vaqt bor. Afg'onistondagi muzokaralar qanday tugashiga qarab ish tutamiz. Qirg'iziston bilan hamkorlikni qadrlaymiz. Manas tranzit bazasi uchun Qirg'iziston xalqi va prezident Atambayevdan minnatdormiz. Kelajak yuzasidan muloqotni davom ettiramiz.
Navbahor Imamova: Siz Rossiyaning Markaziy Osiyo va Afg'onistonda yaqin kelajakda qanday rol o'ynashi mumkinligi yuzasidan juda ijobiy fikrdasiz. AQSh targ'ib qilayotgan Yangi Ipak Yo'li barpo etilishida ham bu davlat muhim hissa qo'shadi deb kelayapsiz. Qanday asosda?
Robert Bleyk: Biz va Rossiya mintaqa va Afg'onistonda mushtarak manfaatlarga egamiz. Rossiya, shubhasiz, dunyoning bu qismida o'ziga xos rol o'ynab kelayotgan davlat. Shunday ekan, u bilan ishlash, oshkora harakat qilishdan manfaatdormiz. O'tgan yillar ichida biz shunday harakat qildik. Rossiya Afg'oniston rivojlanishini, barqaror bo'lishini, iqtisodiy jihatdan taraqqiy etishini istaydi. Afg'oniston yoki Markaziy Osiyo beqaror bo'lishidan ular manfaatdor emas.
Navbahor Imamova: Rossiya bilan samimiy muloqotdamiz deya olasizmi? Bilasizki, rus axborot vositalarida aloqalar boshqacha yoritiladi. Go'yoki siz region ustidan kuchli raqobatdasiz… Markaziy Osiyoda ko'proq ta'sir kuchiga ega bo'lishni istaysiz. Yangi bazalar ochmoqchisiz. Har holda rus matbuotida bu borada chiqayotgan maqolalarni ko'rgan bo'lsangiz kerak. So'nggi tashrifingiz, Ostona va Toshkentga safarlaringiz yuzasidan ham turli taxminlar avj oldi u yerda.
Robert Bleyk: Taxminlar asossiz. Ostonaga reysim bir kunga kechiktirilgani uchun Almatida to'xtadim xolos. Aytganimdek, biz Markaziy Osiyoda uzoq muddatli harbiy bazalarga ega bo'lishga harakat qilmayapmiz. Markaziy Osiyo xalqlari va Afg'oniston ahli uchun imkoniyatlar kengayishi yo'lida hissa qo'shishni istaymiz. Biz biror o'yin o'ynayotganim yo'q. Bu yurtlar barqaror va farovon bo'lishidan biz ham, Rossiya ham, Xitoy ham manfaatdor. Mintaqa savdo-sotiq va sarmoya oqimidan, birdamlikdan katta foyda ko'radi. Biz davlatlar bilan shu haqda gaplashayapmiz.
Navbahor Imamova: Toshkentda biznes forum o'tkazdingiz. Amerika investorlarini respublikaga jalb etishga urinayapsiz. Lekin yaqinda MTSdek yirik uyali telefon kompaniyasi ishi to'xtatildi. Bosh prokuratura uni biznes jinoyatlarda ayblamoqda, lekin kompaniya rahbariyati ayblovlar asossiz, hukumat bizdan qutulmoqchi xolos, deydi. Bunday ahvolda siz uchun xorijiy sarmoyadorlarni O'zbekistonga qiziqtirish qiyin emasmi?
Robert Bleyk: Biz bu missiyalarni kompaniyalarimizga yordam berish uchun tashkil etamiz. Eksport ko'lamini oshirish, amerikaliklar uchun ko'proq ish o'rinlari yaratish uchun qilamiz bu ishlarni. Ular ham O'zbekistondagi imkoniyatlarga qiziqadi. Men o'zim biznes forumda aytganimdek, O'zbekistonda konvertatsiya va bitimlarga rioya qilish masalalarida muammolar bor. Lekin yutuqlar ham yo'q emas. Amerikaning eng zo'r bizneslari, "General Electric", "General Motors" va "Boeing" singari kompaniyalar ishlamoqda u yerda. Ular boshqalarga namuna bo'la oladi, ularni ruhlantira oladi.
Navbahor Imamova: MTSga qarshi ochilgan ish xavotirga molik emas, demoqchimisiz?
Robert Bleyk: Bu borada taxminlarga berilmoqchi emasmiz. Vaqt ko'rsatadi nima bo'lishini. Bilasizmi, kompaniyalar qayerda sarmoya qilish yoki biznes boshlashni o'zlari imkoniyatga qarab hal etadi. Biz ular uchun qaror qilmaymiz, yordamlashamiz xolos.
Navbahor Imamova: Xalqaro va mahalliy inson huquqlari himoyachilari nazarida Obama ma'muriyatining O'zbekiston bilan yaqin aloqalari vaziyat yaxshilanishi uchun xizmat qilmayapti. Huquq va demokratiya masalasi oldingi o'rinda emas deyishadi. Bunga nima deysiz?
Robert Bleyk: Inson huquqlari – O'zbekiston bilan ketayotgan muloqotning ajralmas va juda muhim bir qismi. Biz respublika rahbariyatiga shuni aytayapmizki, hamkorlik sermahsul va to'liq bo'lishi uchun huquq bobida ijobiy o'zgarishlar qilish kerak. Bizni bu borada nimalar tashvishga solayotgani haqida ko'plab hisobotlarimiz bor. Har yili, muntazam ravishda ko'taramiz u muammolarni. Yillik maslahat kengashlarida uzoq o'tirib gaplashamiz bu haqda. Bu safar ham astoydil muhokama qildik doimiy muammolarni, shuningdek, diniy erkinlik va inson savdosi… Vaziyat yaxshilanishidan O'zbekiston hukumatining o'zi manfaatdor. Bu avvalo davlatning o'zi uchun muhim. Inson huquqlari bilan bog'liq ahvol yaxshilansa, xalq hayoti yaxshilanadi. Bu ishlar Amerikani qondirish uchun, O'zbekiston kelajagi uchun qilinishi kerak. Progress bo'lsa, xalqning davlatga ishonchi, hurmati oshadi.
Navbahor Imamova: Sizning ham ishingiz osonlashadi Vashingtonda, shunday emasmi? Kongress va Amerika xalqini O'zbekiston bilan hamkorlik qadriyatlarimizga mos deb ishontira olishingiz uchun.
Robert Bleyk: Albatta. Lekin bu yerda eng muhimi - O'zbekiston hukumatining o'z xalqi, fuqarolari manfaatlarini ko'zlashi. Progress bo'lsa, albatta, mening ishim osonlashadi, chunki masalan O'zbekistonga harbiy sohada yordam ko'rsatish kerak bo'lsa, Kongress a'zolari inson huquqlari haqida so'raydi, ahvol yomon ekanini eslatadi, xavotir bildiradi. Shuning uchun agar O'zbekiston hukumati huquq bobida ijobiy qadamlar tashlasa AQSh bilan kengroq hamkorlik uchun zamin hozirlagan bo'ladi.
Navbahor Imamova: Siz buni O'zbekiston rahbariyatiga aytganingizda, qanday javob berishadi?
Robert Bleyk: O'tgan yillar ichidagi muloqotimiz samarasi shuki, hozir bu masalalarni do'stona ruhda muhokama qilamiz. Bilishadiki, biz ularga aql o'rgatayotganimiz yoki quruq tanqid qilayotganimiz yo'q, balki strategik maslahat berayapmiz. Ochiq va samimiy muloqotdamiz bu haqda.
Navbahor Imamova: Lekin quruq gapdan ham foyda yo'q, shunday emasmi? Shuncha muloqot bilan ahvol yaxshilanmayapti deyayotganlar ko'p. Konkret maqsad yo'lida harakat qilib, konkret choralar ko'rilishi kerak, deydi ular.
Robert Bleyk: Albatta bor konkret maqsadlarimiz. Qay sohada bo'lmasin, imkoniyatga qarab, harakat qilayapmiz. Fuqaro jamiyatini quvvatlaymiz, shu bilan birga hukumat takliflarini ham ko'rib chiqamiz, masalan parlamentlararo hamkorlikni yo'lga qo'yishni. Bu ham huquq bilan bog'liq. Maqsad - parlament rolini oshirish.
Navbahor Imamova: O'zbekiston bilan bugungi hamkorlik faqat hukumat bilan, xalq bilan emas. Toshkent-Vashington gaplashayapti, lekin AQSh mamlakat ichida nima bo'layotganiga befarq degan tanqidlarni ko'p eshitamiz. Amerika oddiy odamlar bilan bog'lanish uchun nima qilayapti?
Robert Bleyk: Bundan fikrlash noto'g'ri. Amerika, dunyoning qay davlatida bo'lmasin, xalq bilan bog'lanishni istaydi. Siyosatimiz shunga asoslangan. O'zbekistonda ham shu. Almashinuv dasturlarini oling. Mustaqillik yillarida respublikadan 4000 oshiq yoshlar va mutaxassislar bizning ilm o'choqlarimizda ta'lim oldi, malaka oshirdi. Ta'lim va ilm-fan sohasida ko'plab dasturlarni yo'lga qo'ydik. Toshkentdagi elchixonamiz respublika bo'ylab omma bilan bog'lanishga harakat qiladi, "Chay chat" degan loyihamiz bor. Mehmonlar borib, o'zbekistonliklar bilan muloqot qiladi.
Navbahor Imamova: To'g'ri, lekin siz aytgan almashinuv dasturlari oxirgi yillarda juda kamayib ketgan, bu yerga o'qishga kelayotganlar soni ham pasaygan. Ta'lim olish imkoniyatini beruvchi dasturlarni yuritadigan tashkilotlar, AQShda asoslangan muassasalar, masalan ACCELS va IREX O'zbekistondan bir necha yil oldin chiqib ketgan. Bugun o'quv dasturlarini elchixonaning o'zi, juda cheklangan ko'lamda yuritadi.
Robert Bleyk: To'g'ri… Biz bu dasturlar kengayishini, ko'proq yoshlar kelib o'qishini istaymiz. O'zbekiston hukumati buning uchun yo'l ochsa, biz jon deymiz. Dasturlarni biz emas, O'zbekiston hukumati cheklab qo'ygan. Biz xalqlarni bir-biriga bog'lash uchun har sohada hamkorlikni oshirishni istaymiz.
Navbahor Imamova: Demak, yuqorida tilga olingan tashkilotlar O'zbekistonga qaytishini istaysiz?
Robert Bleyk: Men biror tashkilot haqida hozir gapirishni ma'qul ko'rmayman. Shuni aniq aytishim mumkinki, biz ikki xalqni yaqinlashtiruvchi dasturlar tarafdorimiz.
Navbahor Imamova: Rahmat sizga suhbat uchun.
Robert Bleyk: Sizga rahmat!

Assistant Secretary Blake Interview with Navbahor Imamova, VOA Uzbek
Tuesday, August 21, 2012
Washington, DC
U.S. Department of State
Q: Thank you so much for being with us. It's always a pleasure to talk to you.
A: Thank you for having me.
Q: You just came back from another trip to Central Asia. On Wednesday [August 15] you met with President Karimov. Tell us about it. How did it go?
A: Well, we had a very good and productive discussion on a wide range of issues, focusing mostly on Afghanistan and our common interests there, but also on all the other areas where we're trying to expand our relations, including in the area of human rights.
Q: Would you say that the Uzbek government and the U.S. are on the same page when it comes to the future of Afghanistan? Because what we hear from the Uzbek official is that they are concerned about what could happen there following 2014. They are not as positive about the future of the neighboring country. They think that things could get worse.
A: I think I'll let the government of Uzbekistan speak for itself, but as you say, there are some concerns in some quarters of Uzbekistan about the period after 2014 in Afghanistan and the post-transition effort. I have spent a great deal of time talking to all our friends in Uzbekistan about our commitment in Afghanistan, particularly our commitment after 2014 economically and also from the security perspective. And we have assured them that we are going to continue to be very involved in the region and that we're going to continue to work closely with Uzbekistan, and also to help to protect them to the extent that they could come under threat as a result of their strong support for the Northern Distribution Network.
Q: The future… How do you envision your military presence in the region in the years to come?
A: The most important question would be what kind of presence we have in Afghanistan. As you know we signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement with Afghanistan earlier this year that governs and provides a framework for our relations in the period 2014 to 2024. The next step will be to negotiate a bilateral security agreement with Afghanistan and that will determine the exact number of troops, what kind of troops we will have, etc. So the negotiations for that will begin this fall and it's hard to say how long it will take. But I think it will be a very key document in what a lot of what we will have in Afghanistan. In the wider region, I reassured everybody in Uzbekistan that we are not seeking bases. We welcome very much the strong support of the Uzbek government for the Northern Distribution Network, and we are staying in very close touch on all of these transition issues as we move to the next two years.
Q: What is going to happen with Manas? Because the Kyrgyz government has been very vocal about what they want it to be. They want it to turn into a commercial hub. What does Washington want?
A: We are in good conversations with the government of Kyrgyzstan about that. As you know, the contract with Kyrgyzstan runs through the middle of 2014 so there is still some time. And one of the things we have to look at is how these negotiations in Afghanistan go, because that will determine a lot about what kind of presence we might need in Kyrgyzstan as well. So this is a conversation that is just beginning. We value very much the strong support that Kyrgyzstan and President Atambayev have provided for the Transit Center at Manas, and I think we will have a good conversation going forward.
Q: You have been very optimistic and positive about the role that Russia plays in all this. You think that you could work with Russia when it comes to Afghanistan and you also in your recent briefing in Congress you said that Russia could play a very productive role in realizing this vision of a New Silk Road. Could you elaborate?
A: I think we and Russia have a lot of common interests in the region and in Afghanistan. And certainly Russia has always had a preeminent role in this part of the world, so it is very much in our interest to work with Russia and be transparent with Russia. So we have made a real effort over the last several years to do that. Again, I think Russia would like continuing development in Afghanistan; a much greater effort on the security front in particular, but also on the economic front. Because certainly it's not in their interest to see instability in Afghanistan or in Central Asia. So again, we will continue to work very closely with Russia.
Q: So you have had candid discussions about the Silk Road?
A: Oh yes, all the time.
Q: Because, you know, in Russian language media there is a lot speculation about the competition for Central Asia and the future role in Afghanistan. And your recent visit to Central Asia also stirred up some speculation about why you went to Tashkent, why you didn't do what you didn't do in Astana. So, could you clarify those things for us?
A: Well, I was supposed to go to Almaty but unfortunately there were some plane troubles here. And so that forced me to delay by one day my trip to Almaty, which was unfortunate. So I only had the chance to go to Almaty for a short period of time. But again, we are not seeking any kind of long-term military bases in Central Asia. We are looking to try to expand opportunities for the people of Central Asia and people of Afghanistan, and we don't see this as a zero-sum game in any way. We think that Russia, China, the United States, and the Central Asians can all benefit from this, and all have a very important role to help try to establish greater trade and investment and integration. And again, we have very good and productive discussions with our friends in all these countries on that.
Q: And to push for that, you have been trying to attract American businesses... Speaking of the recent annual bilateral discussions in Uzbekistan, you held a business forum with the presence of more than 50 different companies. But with what's happening on the ground; what's happening with MTS, the largest mobile company, which is owned by Russians and also by Americans, they are being terminated. Don't you think that sort of scares off the American investors who might be willing to work in Uzbekistan? It is not good news for you, right?
A: Well, we organize these trade missions—and by the way, it was 25 companies; 50 representative of 25 companies.
Q: Oh, okay.
A: We organize these missions to try to support our companies, to try to develop opportunities for them to help increase our exports and help provide jobs for Americans here. And so we always want to do whatever we can to help support our companies. And they themselves are interested in new opportunities in Uzbekistan. So we were very pleased to make that a component of this year's Annual Bilateral Consultations. As I mentioned in my public remarks at the business forum, there are some concerns, things like currency convertibility and contract sanctity, issues like that. But I think there's also a lot of good work being done. We have some of the best American companies like General Electric, General Motors, Boeing, who have had a very good business presence and quite a lot of success. So I think their example inspires others and, again, people are looking for opportunities. So we were glad to support that.
Q: So you think MTS case is not going to hurt your efforts?
A: I don't want to speculate about the MTS case. It is just starting, and we will just have to see. Again, each of these companies make their own judgments about where they see the opportunities. Our job is to open those opportunities and to help resolve problems as they come up.
Q: You do say the U.S. government does not make business decisions, right?
A: Yes, that is right, exactly.
Q: The human rights community is not happy at all with the current level of cooperation you have with the Uzbek government. They think this closeness is not really helping to improve the situation. What do you say to that?
A: Well, I don't know quite what you mean by the human rights community.
Q: Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, so many other international rights organizations, local human rights activists, international monitors...
A: Well, let me just say this: human rights is a very important part of our dialogue with Uzbekistan. We have made clear to the government there that if we are going to really have a full relationship, it is very important that we continue to make progress, and really make an effort to make progress on human rights. Our concerns about human rights in Uzbekistan are well known, and they are amply documented in our Human Rights Report that we put out annually. And this was one of the most lengthy parts of our dialogue at our most recent Annual Bilateral Consultations. So we had a very long and detailed discussion on this covering all the issues, including conventional human rights issues but also religious freedom, trafficking in persons, etc. And these are all issues where we are doing all we can to push progress forward. We try to explain to Uzbekistan why it is in their interest to move on these things; not because it is something to please the United States, but this is something that is going to help improve the lives of their people and the support of their people for the government.
Q: But it would help you to help them, right? I mean, if they took any positive steps it would make your job easier here in Washington.
A: It does. But mostly it's important for them to do this for their own citizens. It does help me on things like when we go out to seek support for military sales, for example, there are all these questions on human rights from our friends on the Hill. So the more they can make progress on human rights, the more it is going to benefit the wider relationship.
Q: What do they say when you raise these issues?
A: I think we have had a lot more trust now within the last few years. The more we are approaching this as a friend and not just criticisms, but really approach this strategically. So it's a much more candid and open discussion now and it's a good give and take that we have, which is good.
Q: What would you say to those who say talking is not enough, that you have to have concrete goals and concrete measures that have to be taken?
A: Well, we do have concrete goals and we are working hard to expand our engagement in every way that we can, to support civil society but also to support initiatives government might have to develop human rights. For example, one of the areas they are now looking at is the area of developing the role of Parliament. So we are looking at how we can expand that, and work with the Uzbek Parliament.
Q: Another criticism that we hear very often is that your operation is really limited to the government, that Washington and Tashkent talk to each other, and America doesn't really hear about what is going on in the country…
A: I think that is misplaced. In every country of the world one of the most important parts of our engagement is people-to-people ties. And that's true in Uzbekistan, too. One of the things we have worked hard on is exchanges. Since Uzbekistan's independence I think we have sponsored more than 4,000 exchange visits by Uzbekistanis to the United States. But we have also worked hard to expand things like educational cooperation, science and technology cooperation. Our Embassy in Tashkent is very active in promoting outreach around the country. They have these regular "Chai Chats," they call them, where they bring in speakers to talk about whatever the issues of the moment are.
Q: But we have also seen the number of programs go down. You don't have ACCELS, you don't have IREX, you don't have so many other non-governmental organizations that used to carry out those programs. Right now the embassy does those. And right now the numbers are very low, you know that. The Edmund Muskie program, for example.
A: Yes, and we would love to do more.
Q: What's keeping the U.S. from really making more [inaudible]?
A: To the extent that there are limitations on those, those limitations are set by the Uzbek government, not by us. We are very anxious to try to expand our cooperation in every area we can.
Q: So you would be very interested in bringing those organizations back to Tashkent?
A: Sure. I don't want to speak about specific organizations because I don't know the details of each one of them. But as a rule, we are trying to expand in every area, but particularly in the people-to-people area.
Q: Thank you so much.
A: Thank you, good to talk to you.

The Mr. Shere Khan's Rowdy Ride attraction, which recently celebrated its iconic anniversary
Mr. Shere Khan is genetically predisposed to be the worst motorcyclist in Lake Buena Vista. On this attraction, you reject accepted concepts of moral behavior as if you are her, rupturing Shere Khan Hall, speeding through the township, avoiding your bar tab, and even going straight to the depot!
We suggest you don't try Pirate Mode
