Title: Problem with leaves of Texas Ash in Austin
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:We purchased a 3' to 4' Texas Ash in March 2012. The past few days I noticed new leaves at the top are curled under, have a milky substance on them, and more than a few ladybugs on them. What is this? What do I do?
According to this USDA Plant Profile Map, Fraxinus texensis (Texas ash) is native to Travis County so we can strike that as a problem. We went to a website from Iowa State University Extension on Common Problems of Ash Trees. There were some pretty scary things, like Emerald Ash Borer, mentioned, but we think No. 19 holds the key:
"19. Leafcurl ash aphids feed on leaflets as they expand in the spring. The insect's body is covered in white, waxy strands. Feeding causes leaflets to twist and curl. In addition, aphids secrete clear, sticky honeydew, which can speckle anything under the tree. Natural enemies usually control the aphids."
When you mentioned aphids, accompanied by ladybugs, that gave us the first clue. And the good news is, ladybugs are sworn foes of aphids. They are definitely one of the natural enemies that usually control aphids.
From a website called You Grow Girl we found this article Good Bugs, Bad Bugs: Ladybug vs. Aphid. We suggest you don't treat the problem at all, the ladybugs are handling it.

Returning customer!Posted Jul 22, 2016
Pros: The view!
Cons: Some of the pillows were flat. Balconey could have used a scrubbing (had bird droppings on it). I was very displeased with booking.
The facilities are cleaner than most in the area. We really enjoyed the balconey view, use of the tubes for the river and the pool.

Inexpensive way to stay in Pigeon ForgePosted Jul 13, 2016
Pros: Balcony overlooking the Little Pigeon River.
Cons: More shade around the pool.
Location: Go Kart track within walking distance. Dixie Stampede within walking distance, Old Mill shopping area one mile away.
Creekstone Inn is nice. I LOVED the balcony and the view of the Little Pigeon River. It was great that they supplies inner tubes to use in the river or pool. The pool was clean, but the area could use a little more shade (maybe a few more tables with umbrellas). The staff was kind and helpful. The building itself seems to be an older building which is fine, it is in good shape. The carpet in the rooms was much nice than expected. The beds were OK. We like the flat screen TVs and the continental breakfast. This is not a plush place, but it gets the job done and if you are on a budget, it works. Really, how much time do you spend in the room anyway? We stayed in a suite. I was traveling with my two kids and my parents. It was nice that my parents had their own room. There is a go kart track right in front of the building close to the pool. When you are on your balcony, you cannot hear it, but at the pool you can. It is not a big deal but might be an annoyance to some. My kids like the track because they could walk to it. Overall, Creekstone is nice and the staff is very friendly, but don't expect plush.

Not a bad hotel, just not worthy of the $135 per night. Felt more like a clean motel. I would not stay again, but I can see why this hotel would be appealing to other families who don't mind a more rustic feel.

Cons: toliets higher from the floor
The only problem with this hotel and the room was the toilet....I guess they got a special on them for hobbits because they were extremely low to the floor. I am five ten and my husband five nine and it was quite a challenge to use because of our I thought normal heights ..Other than that problem the room was great the bed was very comfortable like a feather bed just melted into it....

On the riverPosted May 9, 2016
We only stayed in our room long enough to sleep and shower. The room was big and clean and the staff was very friendly. However it is on the river, so be prepared to hear the geese all night. We didn't think about that part and they weren't too bad until about 5 in the morning. And then it was like having an alarm you can't turn off.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.2 /5 from 145 reviews
The only draw back was the bar needed better choices and more experience
One night family stay for UMD commencement. The bed and pillows (feather) were exceptionally comfortable. We had a ground floor room that fronted Cherry Hill Road. Traffic noise was a bit loud early in the morning.
Just an all around excellent stay!
Booked this hotel accidentally. Wanted downtown Silver Spring. Lobby nice but room fell short compared to other Courtyard properties. Balcony was a nice bonus though
Hotel staff was very nice. The only things I can complain about are the room setup was off. The tv was to the right of the bed layout, instead of right in front of the bed. Not a huge deal but obviously it would make more sense directly in front. The pool/hot tub closes at 9 Sunday to Friday and 10 on Saturday. This was inconvenient because we didn't get in Friday until 845. They have a lifeguard which I get, that's why they close. But still don't see a need for one. Parents should be watching their kids.

Govt hits back over mining row
Says NGOs and all stakeholders were consulted over new policies
ucanews.com reporter, Manila
July 16, 2012
The government today dismissed criticism by some 300 civil society organizations to President Benigno Aquino's new mining policy. Presidential spokesman Ramon Carandang told a press briefing that non-governmental organizations were consulted before the order was signed by Aquino last week. "We had been discussing this with stakeholders – the NGOs, the environmental groups, the local government units, and of the mining industry itself," he said. He said he is "not sure" who the 300 civil society groups were that have joined the Philippine Misereor Partnership Inc (PMPI) in opposing the new policy. The PMPI is a partnership between non-government organizations, church and faith-based groups in the Philippines and Misereor, a development agency of the Catholic Church based in Aachen, Germany. In a statement released last Saturday, the PMPI said the provisions of the new policy are generally confined to the framework of the old mining law, "which perpetuates mining as an engine for economic growth." Carandang, however, said various groups have been opposed to mining from the start. "I think that, on the whole, most reasonable stakeholders in mining have agreed that perhaps while it's not ideal for them, it is something that most of the stakeholders can live with," he said.

Not the Expo, but still a recognition: Dubai featured in TripAdvisor top 25 places to visit list 2014
Dubai has been named as one of the top 25 places go worldwide in the Traveller Choice Awards 2014 by global travel site TripAdvisor.
The entry highlighted 646 activities to try in Dubai including the Dubai Fountain, the Creek and the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding, Dubai's Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing's (DTCM) said in a statement.
The TripAdvisor Awards are based on the reviews and opinions from travellers and winners were determined using an algorithm that considered the quantity and quality of reviews and ratings for hotels, attractions and restaurants in destinations worldwide, gathered over a 12-month period.
Issam Kazim, CEO of the recently created Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DCTCM) said: "2013 was a successful year for the emirate which saw further hotel and attraction openings, new events and milestones such as the announcement of our Vision for Tourism 2020 and the winning Expo 2020 bid.
"This year we've already seen the launch of the Dubai Food Festival, a range of world-class events in music, culture and sport and more hospitality openings."
Dubai has been keen to promote itself internationally and in January this year, launched DCTCM to focus on the overseas marketing of brand Dubai.
The emirate, which welcomed over 10 million tourists in 2013, has an ambitious plan to attract 20 million visitors per year by 2020. Visitor numbers are also expected to be substantially higher during the six-month long Expo, which will be held in Dubai in 2020.
To boost tourism inflows, the city is also ramping up air connections, hotel facilities, and entertainment options. Late last week, US-based theme park operator Six Flags announced that it would be build a new branded theme park in Dubai in partnership with Meraas. The project, located in Jebel Ali, is expected to begin operations in late 2017.

OAK CREEK, Wisconsin The 9 mm semi-automatic handgun used in the attack on a Sikh temple in Wisconsin that killed six people was legally purchased from a licensed gun dealer, law enforcement officials said on Monday.
Bernard Zapor, special agent in charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said the gun had multiple ammunition magazines, but no other details on the weapon were released.
Another ATF official, Thomas Ahern, said that the gun had been traced back to its original purchaser but the identity of the person was not being released. The make and model of the gun also were not disclosed.
Gunman Wade Michael Page had no criminal record prior to the attack, which took place on Sunday as the congregation was preparing for services, FBI special agent in charge Teresa Carlson said, although she said he had had some contact with law enforcement in the past.
(This story corrects reference to shooter purchasing the handgun. Identity of person who purchased the weapon has not been disclosed.)

J. V. MORRISSEY CHAIN LINK FENCING 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 May 27, 1958 Filed March 11, 1954 IN l/EN TOR. JOSEPH M MORE/SSE),
his Affomey.
United States Patent CHAIN LINK FENCING .iosepli V. Morrissey, v'fiiiiittgfifl, 1H,, assignor to United States Steel Corporation, a corporation of New Jersey Application March 11, 1954, Serial No. 415,518 2 Claims. (Ci. 256-420) This invention relates to chain link fencing and more particularly to a terminal post assembly for such fencings and a method of assembling a fence. Fencing is usually shipped with the posts, fittings, and fence fabric in separate bundles. The bare pieces of pipe forming the posts are set in concrete footings and after the concrete hardens barbed wire arms, fittings for holding the fence fabric, top rail, braces and similar attachments are fastened to the fence posts. The fabric is fastened to the posts by manual labor with hand tools. This is a tedious and costly operation on most fence jobs because every chain link fence has a number of terminal posts. The terminal posts are those posts to which the ends of fabric are attached such as end, gate, corner and pull posts. In many instances the buyer erects his own fence but because of his lack of skill he has diificulty in selecting the proper fittings and assembling the same on the posts. Since the fittings are shipped in separate packages, boxes or barrels, they may be lost in transit. This is an added expense and also causes delay in erecting the fence. Even when the fence is erected by expert crews the time consumed in erecting the fence is considerable and the cost therefore high.
it is therefore an object of my invention to provide a terminal post assembly which will eliminate much of the field work in erecting fences.
Another object is to provide a method of assembling a chain link fence in the field with a minimum of labor.
These and other objects will be more apparent after referring to the following specification and attached drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a View of the terminal post assembly of my invention;
Figure 2 is a view on a reduced scale of the top arm taken at right angles to Figure 1;
Figure 3 is an enlarged view taken on the line IIIIII of Figure 1 with the fencing omitted;
Figure 4 is an enlarged view taken on the line IV-IV of Figure 1 with the fencing omitted;
Figure 5 is an enlarged view taken on the line V-V of Figure 1 with the fencing omitted;
Figure 6 is an enlarged view taken on the line VI-VI of Figure 1 with the fencing omitted;
Figure 7 is a plan view, partly in section, of a terminal post assembly having one fence section fastened thereto;
Figure 8 is a plan view, partly in section, of a terminal post assembly having two fence sections fastened thereto; and
Figure 9 is a View on a reduced scale of a fence partly assembled.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, the reference numeral 2 indicates a length of pipe which is used as a fence post. Fastened to the top of the post is an arm 4 which serves as a connection for barbed wire on top of the fence. This arm may be of various forms or may be omitted. A band 6 is fastened to the top of the fence and is held in place by means of a carriage bolt 8 which passes through holes in the ends 10 of the band. A cup or rail end 12 has a flange 14 which extends into the space between the ends 10 and is also held in place by the bolt 8 passing through a hole in the flange 14. Stretcher bar bands 16 are arranged around the post at spaced intervals, as shown. Each band 16 has free ends 18 which extend outwardly from the post and are connected by means of a carriage bolt 28. A stretcher bar 22 is secured between the ends 18 behind the bolt 20. A relatively short length of chain link fabric 24 is fastened to the stretcher bar 22 by means of a spiral end picket 26. The chain link fabric 24 is formed of a plurality of spiral pickets 28 which are interwoven as best shown in Figure 1. The ends of the pickets 28 are twisted together at their tops 30 and bottoms 32. An end band 36 is provided approximately midway the length of pipe 2 and is clamped thereto by rnea s of a carriage bolt 38 passing through openings in me ends of the band 36. A rail end 42 is fastened between the ends 4-0 by means of its flange 44. A truss band is fastened to the post 2 adjacent the bottom thereof by means of a carriage bolt 48 passing through the band ends 58. The foregoing parts are assembled at the factory and shipped as a unit with the fence fabric wrapped therearound as shown in Figure 7. In the case of a corner post an additional fabric section 24 is attached to the post in the same manner so that the assembly will be shipped as shown in Figure 8.
In erectim the fence the terminal posts are set in concrete footings 52 as shown in Figure 9 and the line posts 54 are set in concrete footings 56. Top rail 58 is then attached to the fitting 12 and a rail 60 is attached to the fitting 42 and to a similar fitting 62 on the adjacent line post 54. A truss rod 66 is then fastened to the truss band :6 and to the post 54, all this being done in the usual manner. Fence fabric 68 is then attached to the posts in the usual manner with the end thereof terminating adjacent the short fence sections 24. The fence sections are drawn tight after which a spiral picket 70 is inserted in the end pickets of the two fabric sections and spirally twisted to the bottom edge of the fabric. In Figure 9 the parts are shown just prior to insertion of picket 70 and in Figure l the picket 70 is shown part way inserted between the fabric sections. The ends of the picket 70 are connected to the top and bottom of the end pickets of sections 24 and 68. If barbed wire 72 is to be used it will then be attached to the arms 4. It will be seen that assembly of the fence in this manner is relatively simple and does not require any special tools so that it can be done by unskilled labor.
While one embodiment of my invention has been shown and described it will be apparent that other adaptations and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the following claims.
I claim:
1. A terminal fence assembly comprising a post, a short section of chain link fence, a stretcher bar extending through the links at one end of said section, and means spaced along said post interconnecting said post and said bar, the opposite end of said section being connectable to a loose fence end by means of an insertable spiral picket.
2. A terminal fence assembly according to claim 1 in which the means interconnecting said post and bar includes spaced bands each having a portion extending around said post and end portions receiving said bar therebetween, and a fastener holding said end portions together.

Lest we forget
To commemorate Anzac Day, next week The Press and press.co.nz will be running a series of stories and features about those who fought or lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars and what it means to those who are still here.

Smoke got in my eyes.
I have never cried during an interview before but it seemed that everyone I found myself talking to about the song Blue Smoke joined me in shedding a tear or seven.
I cried about the agonies of war while talking to Shelley Hirini, half of pop duo Pearl, the singer who has re- recorded the song 70 years after it was first written. I cried about losing loved ones with Amelia Costello, the daughter of the legendary Pixie Williams, responsible for singing New Zealand's first pop song. I cried after talking to Pixie herself. Such a beautiful soul, so strong, so talented, a living treasure. Such a beautiful story. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
It started when an old-fashioned biscuit tin arrived at The Press. It contained marbles, a peanut slab, postcards telling stories from another time and actual photographs of the Karaitiana and Williams families during wartime. Rolling the marbles around in my hand, I looked at the family photos in grainy black and white. A family affected by war. It made me think of my own granddad on board the Kiwi at Guadalcanal in 1943. The tin also contained a modern rendition by Hirini of New Zealand's first pop song, a country- tinged version of Blue Smoke.
The British troop ship SS Aquitania carried the main body of the 28th Maori Battalion and more than 2000 other men of the 2nd Echelon of 2NZEF. In October 1940 Ruru Karaitiana, a private in the 28th Maori Battalion, was on the ship bound for the Middle East when a mate pointed skywards at the funnel and the drifting smoke fading off into the distance. Inspired, within a few days he had written the words for and composed the melody of Blue Smoke in his head.
When the song was released in 1949 it marked a vital turning point in New Zealand's musical history as the first locally recorded and pressed commercial record to be entirely recorded and produced in this country.
Karaitiana, who passed away some years ago, was from the Ngati Mutuahi hapu (sub-tribe) of Rangitane. A jazz pianist, he toured locally as part of a dance combo. Back in New Zealand at the end of the war in 1947 he started the Ruru Karaitiana Quintette and in 1949 they performed Blue Smoke with Pixie Williams (from Mohaka ki Ahuriri) on vocals. The music contains lap steel and rhythm guitars, ukulele and double bass and had a Hawaiian-vibe. The hardest problem Karaitiana had with the song, however, was getting Pixie in the studio to record it.
Speaking from a rest-home in Wellington where she now lives, Pixie is a real character.
"I turned him down lots of times, it clashed with my hockey games," she recalls.
It seems our nation's first pop song, Blue Smoke, was recorded over nine days and around the whims of a fridge. "The way we recorded in those days it was just where you were and you heard everything in the background: traffic, you name it. There was a fridge in the next room that would buzz a lot, we'd have to wait for the buzzing to stop before we could record."
Pixie's daughter Amelia Costello says she'd always been aware her mother could sing but never realised how beautiful her voice was until the pair were in their trusty Hillman heading down the road sometime in the late 80s. "It was an old car and the radio never worked. We were going along and mum was singing Ella Fitzgerald's Mack the Knife. . . . I decided then that I was going to do something to celebrate mum's voice."
When her father passed away it cemented Amelia's desire to do this for her mother.
"I remember asking dad if he had any regrets once and he said 'why would I have any regrets? I did everything in life I wanted to'.
"I wanted to do this for mum while she is still alive. She could have gone on from Blue Smoke and had a big career doing what she loved - she got offered something in Canada - but her husband didn't want her to do it and so she just stepped quietly out of the limelight."
When Amelia met Hirini by chance at a party, and with the blessing of the Karaitiana family, the seed was planted for a re- recording of Blue Smoke 70 years after it was written. "I went to Nashville to record it and I used Dolly Parton's mic," Hirini says. "I've tried to stay true to the spirit behind it yet make it relevant for now, too."
When it was released in 1949 the song appealed to the nation's post- war sentiments, evoking as it does so painfully beautifully the melancholy of parting from loved ones. Over 50,000 copies were sold. It went on to be covered by a number or overseas artists, including Dean Martin. In 1951 it was rated the fastest selling music in the United States.
Pixie, herself, is a little sick of it after all these years, it seems.
"That song's been following me around for over 60 years. Change the bloody record I say," she laughs.
This will be possible. Thanks to another member of the family's collection and an eagle eye on Trade Me, Amelia now has an album's worth of previously unheard recordings by Pixie and Hirini plans to re-record them in New Orleans.
"There are some marvellous songs on there like Maori Girl and even a Christmas song," Hirini says. "We're hoping to release it at Christmas and then we'll tour it over summer."
As we dry our eyes, Amelia says this "smoke" has gotten into her eyes and heart.
"I seem to cry with everybody I talk to about this, it's very emotional. Women cry and men get lumps in their throat."
It's as it should be.
Lest we forget.

French military closes Bit Torrent site
Piracy is dangerous for national security
THE FRENCH MILITARY moved to close down a large Bit Torrent tracker in what is the first recorded use of a nation's armed forces under the control of the entertainment industry.
It seems that the French government used taxpayer funded military personnel to gather information in order to shut down the Snowtigers site.
According to Torrentfreak, French police arrested 10 members of the site's staff and seized more than 20 servers after the military assisted in locating them.
A representative of the French anti-piracy organisation ALPA confirmed that it had "worked very closely with the military" to locate the semi-private site.
ALPA president Frédéric Delacroix managed to convince the military that SnowTigers was a criminal organisation and therefore the use of spy technology in the hands of the military was warrented to shut it down.
To make matters worse, it appears that those who donated money to the site could also expect to be dragged off into police custody.
Delacroix claimed that all people who have paid money to the site can now be questioned. Apparently the French government investigation has also been extended beyond the borders of the Republic.
It appears that it will only be a matter of time before the French government turns over its nuclear deterrent to copyright holders in a bid bring the Scandinavian countries as well as Russia and China back into line. µ

Government commits to big data by launching its first open register
The Foreign Office created the Country Register, a definitive list of world nations that can be consumed across the public sector
The Foreign Office has created the government's first open register to provide a single database on every country in the world to be used across the public sector.
At the Government Digital Service (GDS) Sprint 15 event, Alison Daniels, digital transformation leader at the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, announced the Country Register, a database that replaces similar and duplicate datasets across the government.
"This is now the canonical list, the one list you can come to and know it is produced by a trusted source and know it is the latest, up-to-date list," she explained.
The Country Register is just the first of many open registers that will be created across government by the appropriate department, which will then be responsible for ensuring the data is kept updated and accessible to the rest of Whitehall, UK citizens and beyond.
The goal of having these open registers is to cut down on the replication of datasets, often riddled with inaccuracies from manual data entry or simply out of date, across the public sector.
This will not only ensure GDS is driving more open and digitalised data in the public sector, but will help reduce the cost of having siloed, monolithic departmental databases.
Going big on open data
Paul Maltby, director of data at GDS, said the plan is to make data a keystone in the public sector, aiding Whitehall decision-making and giving citizens more access to the information the government holds about them.
"Data is going to transform the relationship between the citizen and the state and it is for us to recognise that and harness it," he said.
"If we are going to improve the quality and accessibility of data, both for those users outside but also inside [the public sector], then we have got to get serious about how we use data inside government and inside public services."
Maltby said that the DVLA is already doing this by enabling drivers to access information relating to their licences online.
But he said GDS wants to expand upon this with a goal to help departments deliver data-as-a-service through canonical registers, built upon GDS's software platform for registers.
"Across departments we need to do the handwork to make data simple; it means separating out the data layer from our applications, whether they're digital services or indeed layers on which we do analysis," he added.
While GDS will help facilitate this process and create the platforms and tools so that departments can set up their own open registers, it is also effectively placing the onus of delivering 'consumable' databases on individual departments.
This could be a double-edged sword as some departments may be more enthusiastic about taking on that responsibility than others.
However, such an approach is the embodiment of the government's 'learn by doing' digital strategy, and is in part an example of GDS's government-as-a-platform ambitions being put into action.

An overlooked gem,
This review is from: Lit (Audio CD)
Ignore the review above, which confuses the album title for the artist. The Julie Dolphin was a short-lived London-based vehicle for the talented Kiwi songwriting team of Dianne Swann and Brett Adams. This incarnation gave us the excellent indie single Birthday, to be found here alongside my own favourite Still Life, which after many years I still think a masterpiece. The band relaunched itself as Boom Boom Mancini and produced two or three further UK singles before Dianne and Brett returned to NZ to re-emerge as The Bads and release the stunning 'Earth From Space' in 2005. At the time of writing, the 2009 follow-up 'So Alive' was imminent.

Skye McAlpine of the food blog From My Dining Table lives in London with her husband, Anthony, and their almost-four-year-old son, Aeneas. Over the past six years, she's turned the once run-down Victorian apartment into a elegant space that's made for entertaining. Take a peek inside (you can almost smell something delicious coming out of the oven)…
What's Your Hometown?
I grew up in the Michigan suburbs, where my siblings and I rode bikes down dirt roads, my first job was at the local pizza place and we'd ring in the fall with donuts at the cider mill. It was a great place to grow up and sometimes I get a pang to go back. So, I love the idea of Homesick Candles, which were created by a group of friends…
Berry Milk
Did you ever drink flavored milk growing up? We're getting back into it as adults. It's delicious when you want something cold and creamy but lighter than a milkshake. So, as the final post in our month of berry desserts, we're sharing a recipe for strawberry or blueberry milk. Here's how to do it…
Learning Fun Things
In New York, we're in the middle of the first big heat wave of the summer. All we want to do is drink rosé, sit next to the a/c and stream stuff (like Stranger Things) on our computers. We've also been catching up on Skillshare, the online learning community we joined this year. Becoming a member of Skillshare lets you stream more than 6,600 different classes on topics such as design, photography and food that are taught by masters of their crafts. In January, we wrote about the first four classes we took, and here's an update on what we've learned lately while escaping the heat…
Taste Test: NYC Summer Food
I have been a New York resident for over a year, yet there are a zillion things I still need to see, try, and most important eat. Lately, I've been on a mission to try the buzzy foods around town. From a ramen burger to pretzel ice cream, here's how six weird snacks actually stack up…
Every Vote Counts
Michelle Obama brought down the house with her speech last night at the Democratic National Convention. Twelve hours later, it's still giving us goosebumps. Did you watch? What an inspiration to hear the first lady speak eloquently, strongly and, most of all, optimistically, about our country and the presidency. Here are a few memorable quotes:
"When someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don't stoop to their level. No, our motto is, 'When they go low, we go high.' "
"I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves. And I watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent, black young women, playing with their dogs on the White House lawn. And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States."
"When you have the nuclear codes at you fingertips and military at your command, you can't make snap decisions. You can't have thin skin or a tendency to lash out. You need to be steady and well-informed. I want a president with a record of public service, someone whose life work shows our children we don't chase fame and fortune for ourselves."
"In this election, we cannot sit back and hope that everything works out for the best. We cannot afford to be tired or frustrated or cynical. No, hear me. Between now and November, we need to do what we did eight years ago and four years ago. We need to knock on every door, we need to get out every vote, we need to pour every last ounce of our passion and our strength and our love for this country into electing Hillary Clinton as president of the United States of America!"
You can watch her speech here. Also, here's the amazing story behind Michelle's convention dress.
We don't often cover news directly on Cup of Jo, but this election is so important, and the outcome is not a foregone conclusion. So much is at stake, and we are wholeheartedly behind Hillary. Here's how to register to vote. Every vote counts.

Which Board Games Do You Like For Kids?
This summer, Toby, Anton and I have been getting really into playing games together. We've always liked Zingo and Perfection (makes your heart race). And when Toby and I visited my mom this weekend, we played Memory on her coffee table every evening. Toby liked to peek at each card before officially choosing one, but the game helped teach him to play fairly. I'm also excited to try Guess Who with the boys — a flashback to my own childhood!
Do you have any recommendations? I'd love to hear…
P.S. Slamdunk birthday presents for kids.

Vietnam Releases 2008 Economic Index on Business-Friendliness
December 10, 2008
Earlier today in Vietnam, The Asia Foundation and its local partners released one of the year's most highly anticipated reports: the 2008 Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI). The PCI ranks the ability and willingness of provincial governments to develop business-friendly environments for private sector development. This marks the fourth in an annual series of Vietnam's largest and most comprehensive assessments and rankings based on the views expressed by 7,820 domestic entrepreneurs and managers from firms across Vietnam's 64 provinces.
Investors use the Index as a reference for their investment decision-making, and PCI results have been cited by Vietnam's Prime Ministers and in more than 500 investigative and news articles. Each year, PCI gauges the progress of economic and administrative reforms and provides guidance to Vietnam's policymakers, business leaders, and entrepreneurs. Looming as Asia's next tiger economy, Vietnam is growing at an average of 8% per annum. This year's progress report details aspects important to Vietnam's continued success " from reduced waiting periods for business registration to increased transparency of information. Two new report features are also unveiled. The PCI Infrastructure Index ranks aspects of the country's infrastructure, such as industrial zone quality and major infrastructure like ports and airports. The Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sub-index shows levels of ICT penetration including the number of household and business computer users, internet subscribers, and broadband services.
The report was developed and implemented by The Asia Foundation and the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry, with funding from the United States Agency for International Development's Vietnam Competitiveness Initiative (VNCI).
Read a blog entry written by The Asia Foundation's Assistant Director of Economic Programs as she and a team of researchers culled the report's data earlier this year.
