38% of the CEO

I have been working at InBev full-time for more than a year
Pros – - Good atmosphere in lower bands
- Flexible working hours
- Lenient with lunch break time, other chat or smoke breaks as long as the job is done
Cons – - Not a competitive salary, unfair bonus systems, salary increases upon promotion minimal.
- Limited promotion opportunities if you're not a Management Trainee.
- Getting a good performance review only possible with numerous unpaid overtime hours
- Very, very limited training opportunities (0 live trainings in >1 year employment)
- IT heavily unreliable: downtime and slowdown of systems frustrate near all employees and >1h per day is lost.
- Not all the tools necessary to do the job well are at your disposal due to cost savings
- Continuous outsourcing and downgrading to the cheapest "good enough to continue operations" option
- Many employees feel exploited and leave quickly, replaced by a cheap newly grad with reduced salary
- High pressure and work load
Advice to Senior Management – "Don't expect a Lufthansa service if you're only willing to pay a Ryanair price."
If management would really live up to it's self-proclaimed principle that people are the center of the business, they really need to invest in keeping good employees happy and able to do their job without daily frustrations caused by cut costs where they shouldn't be cut.
If the continuous scare of not receiving a bonus and the never-ending faltering of tools continue to frustrate people, people and knowledge retention may soon be low enough that core functions can no longer be executed adequately. The BSC a "center of excellence"? It's a center of barely good to continue functioning at the lowest cost possible.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at InBev full-time
Pros – Ownership, shared individual targets working on the same projects
Result focused
Critical projects are delivered on time
Compensation: if considering together with bonus is quite competetive
Cons – Forget about personal life. Many cases when people lost their families due to long hours at work and stress
You need to be a hawk / eagle to abuse others showing that you're great owner for being promoted
Bonus now is only for top performers in WEZ and it's not transparent at all
Brazilians are on prefferance
Advice to Senior Management – Treat people as asset, not only those selected ones (band 4 and below)
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at InBev full-time
Pros – If you need to breakthrough in your career and you are ready to work long hours and if you are a fighter it is a right place to be, very result driven. Company does not look at your age you can be promoted if you bring results even if you are young. Hope things will improve with an arrival of Stuart(Zone President )
Cons – Lots of burrocracy, Standards working not for everyone. Industry is down which is translated into employers mood. People are not a value but resource, if you are not efficient then you are out. No bonus 3rd year. Very stressfull work ( procedures grow at the samee time less people each year due to optimisation)
Advice to Senior Management – Challenge should be but they should be not impossible to achieve, don't take Global's challenges, so we have unachieveble targets again. Dont overinvest in management trainees. Decrease burrorcacy in finance department.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at InBev full-time for more than a year
Pros – - Amazing people
- Free beer
Cons – - High Turnover
- Long hours for little pay
- No interest on being competitive in the job market, rather their focus is on replacing people quickly
Advice to Senior Management – Find ways to retain people in the company. You will safe money in training and the knowledge acquired will remain in the company.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I worked at InBev full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – The main product obviously creates an interesting accounting background, able to create good environment
Cons – Forced carrier paths, inconsistent decisions with culture that is emphasized daily
Cost reduction on a very high level with no efficiency
Advice to Senior Management – Concentrate on real skills and accountable/professional leaders
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at InBev
Pros – Compensation is second to none and long term incentives are extremely good. You'll get rich at this company if you stay for 10 years.
Cons – Very tough culture. No work-life balance. Long hours. Sacrifice long term gains for short term benefits. Tough to manage with 6 P&L's and no global power.
Advice to Senior Management – Better understand the US corporate culture in order to make it successful. Be more willing to focus on long-term benefits rather then short term wins.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at InBev
Pros – Free beer given to employees

I have been working at InBev
Pros – Bargaining unit gives you time to brace yourself for a up coming rough ride in contract negotiation; this i am thankful for. Good expeirence with technical skills. supervisors are good to work with for most part, upper managment is different story. Kind of like the government, they are so dissconnected from the people they are supposed to support.
Cons – learn how company hierarchy works. Learn how managment promotions are givin to those who lack expierence. Be prepaired to learn on your own; managment doesnt even know there own job because they are moved around so much; cant blame them, they are in the same boat.
Advice to Senior Management – why advise, you already know everything.....right?
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at InBev
Pros – The company is good at promoting young talent quickly through the ranks. They make a great recession resilient product and has a young workforce
Cons – terrible at employee retention. High management turnover. Bonus based structure which is good it pays out, but often targets are overstretched.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I worked at InBev
Pros – The comapny was great to work for when it was Anhuser-Busch
Cons – They bought out the company I previously worked for. Laid off tons of people. Including employees that worked for AB for over 15yrs and did their job afficently. I was one of the last to get laid off in my department. However, with each lay off came a younger and more incompitant replacement. They would take recent college grads and young proffs with 1-2yrs when clearly more experienced was needed. The only reasoning I could come up with was with talking to a few of the new employees their salaries were conciderably lower than the previous. Point being this: hard work will NOT be rewarded and once you start to aquire experience and will be deserving of a pay raise you will be replaced by someone younger to cut costs.
Advice to Senior Management – Reward your current employees with a job well done not a compasation package and boot out the door. Simply for the fact that you just bought and took over one of their companies
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Heart Health: How Does Heart Rate Change with Exercise?
|Time Required
|Short (2-5 days)
|Must be able to exercise vigorously
|Material Availability
|Readily available
|Very Low (under $20)
|No issues
AbstractYour heart starts beating before you are born and keeps right on going through your whole life. Over an average lifetime, the human heart beats more than 2.5 billion times. Keeping your heart healthy means eating right, not smoking, and getting regular exercise. Which of your favorite physical activities give your heart the best workout and help keep it fit? Find out with this science project!
To measure your average heart rate during different types of physical activities.

Last edit date: 2014-02-13
An average-sized adult has about 5.5 liters of blood in their body, which the heart circulates about three times every minute. Your heart is constantly beating—even before birth!—to keep the blood circulating. The heart of an average 65-year-old person has contracted more than 2.5 billion times. That is a lot of heartbeats! You can see a picture of a real human heart in Figure 1, below.
|Figure 1. A human heart.
Experts on cardiac health tell us that the best ways to keep our hearts healthy are through a balanced diet, avoiding smoking, and regular exercise. Exercise that is good for your heart should elevate your heart rate. Heart rate is a measure of how many times a person's heart beats in a minute (technically measured in beats per minute, or bpm). But by how much, for how long, and how often should your heart rate be elevated? This has to do with how fit you are and your maximum heart rate, which is 220 bpm minus your age. For example, if you are 30 years old, your maximum heart rate would be 190 bpm (since 220 minus 30 equals 190). The American Heart Association recommends that you do exercise that increases your heart rate to between 50 and 85% of your maximum heart rate. This range is your target heart rate zone. They recommend getting at least 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise most days (or a total of about 150 minutes a week).
What is your resting heart rate? What types of exercises work to elevate your heart rate? How do you feel when your heart is working at 50% of its maximum rate? How about when it is working at 75% of its maximum rate? This science project will help you answer all of these questions, and help you find fun activities that are good for your heart.
Terms and Concepts
- Heart rate
- Maximum heart rate
- Target heart rate zone
- Pulse
- Resting heart rate
- What is the average maximum heart rate for someone your age?
- What is the range recommended for heart rate during exercise?
- How much exercise does your body need each week for good cardiovascular health?
- As an advanced challenge, do some research on aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise. What are some examples of activities that provide these types of exercise?

Materials and Equipment
- Clock or timer that shows seconds or a helper with a watch
- Comfortable exercise clothes
- Simple and fun exercise equipment. You will want to do at least three different types of exercises, but not all of them may require equipment. Some equipment you may need includes:
- Jump rope
- Bicycle
- Hula-hoop
- 1-kg weight
- Lab notebook
- Graph paper or a graphing program

Experimental Procedure
Measuring Your Heart Rate
- Use the first two fingers of one hand to feel your radial pulse on the opposite wrist, as shown in Figure 2, below. You will find it on the "thumb side" of your wrist, just below the base of your hand. Practice finding your pulse until you can do it quickly. Note: Do not use your thumb, because it has its own pulse, which could throw off your count.
|Figure 2. The photo shows how to feel your radial pulse.
- Your heart rate is the number of beats per minute, but you do not have to count for a full minute to get an accurate heart rate. Counting the number of beats in either 10 or 15 seconds is fine. As practice, right now use a clock or timer to time your count, and write down the number of beats you counted in your lab notebook. Then calculate the number of beats per minute (bpm) to get your heart rate. If you counted for ten seconds what do you need to multiply by to get the number of beats per minute? How about if you counted for 15 seconds? That is it!
Activity and Heart Rate
- Do your background research and make sure that you are knowledgeable about the terms, concepts, and questions in the Background section.
- Measure your resting heart rate and record it in your lab notebook, along with the date and time of the measurement. Your resting heart rate is your heart rate when you are awake but relaxed, such as when you have been sitting still for several minutes.
- Tip: It is best to take your resting heart rate at the beginning of the day, right after you have woken up but before you have gotten out of bed.
- It is a good idea to do this several times, and at different times of day, so that you can get a reliable average. You will also get an idea of the normal range of variation for your resting heart rate.
- If you want, you can calculate how many times your heart beats during a day, a month, and a year, based on your resting heart rate.
- You will be measuring your heart rate during different types of physical activity. Choose at least three different types of activities that you enjoy doing or that you think would be good exercises. You may want to choose at least one activity that you consider to be easy, and one that you think requires more energy to do. You can see some examples in Table 1, below.
- How do you think doing each activity will affect your heart rate? Do you think the activities will affect your heart rate differently?

|15 min

|Jumping rope

|Riding a bicycle
- Choose which activity you want to do first. Before starting it, make sure you have been resting for a few minutes and measure your resting heart rate. Your measured resting heart rate should be similar to what you measured in step 2.
- Perform the activity for 15 minutes. In your data table, write down the number of beats you count in 10 seconds at the times indicated in Table 1 (after 1, 2, 5, 10, and 15 minutes of activity).
- Once you are done with the activity, also record in your lab notebook how you felt when you finished.
- Calculate your heart rate after 1, 2, 5, 10, and 15 minutes of activity by multiplying the number of beats you counted (in 10 seconds) by six. This is your heart rate in beats per minute (bpm).
- Repeat steps 4–6 for at least two more different activities.
- Leave enough time between activities so that your heart rate returns to around its normal resting level.
- It may take more than one day to make measurements for all of the activities you want to try, so be sure to plan ahead so that you have enough time to collect data.
- Make line graphs of heart rate (on the y-axis, in bpm) vs. time (on the x-axis, in minutes) for each activity. Use graph paper, a spreadsheet program (like Excel), or Create a Graph. Compare the graphs.
- Which activity increased your heart rate the most (highest peak)?
- Which activity increased your heart rate the fastest (greatest slope)?
- Which activities elevated your heart rate to the target heart rate zone (50-85% of maximum heart rate, where your maximum heart rate is 220 bpm minus your age)?
- Do you notice any consistent patterns in your heart rate graphs?
Share your story with Science Buddies!I Did This Project! Please log in and let us know how things went.
- How does heart rate change with body position? Measure your heart rate while lying down, while sitting down, and while standing. What happens to your heart rate when standing on your hands?! (Rest your feet against a wall for balance, and have a helper find your pulse and measure your heart rate.)
- Repeat this experiment with more volunteers. How much variation is there among heart rates of different people? How do their heart rates generally change with different types of exercise?
- How does your heart rate change when you vary the intensity of your exercise? For this study, you will need to figure out ways to measure the intensity of your workout for the different activities. For many activities, you could use a helper with a timer to count your exercise rate. For example, your helper could count the number of jumps (or lifts, or steps) per minute (a metronome, if you have one, could also help you to keep time). If your bike has a speedometer, you can keep track of your speed. If you have access to a gym, most aerobic fitness equipment has a readout of intensity in either kcal/hour or watts, and indicators to let you see how much effort you are making as you work out. Pick two or three different levels (easy, medium, and challenging) and measure your heart rate after 5, 10, and 15 minutes of working out at that level. Do not exceed your recommended target heart rate zone while exercising (nearly 85% of your maximum heart rate). What intensity level elevates your heart rate to 50% of its maximum heart rate for each type of exercise? What intensity level elevates your heart rate to 85% of maximum?

What is a Cough?
Although it may not seem like it, a cough is a protective action by the body in healthy individuals. A cough is an involuntary reflex (something which we cannot help) that is initiated by two classes of nerves with endings in the lungs.
Coughing is an action the body takes to get rid of substances irritating the air passages, and a cough is usually started to clear a buildup of phlegm (mucus) in the trachea. When a person coughs, air may move through this passage at up to 300 MPH.

You could go through your entire life without needing to know how to find people. But then an important occasion comes along and suddenly all you can think about is whether you can do a free people search to locate all of your past friends and your long lost family members. Actually, there are limitless possible reasons that you may need to use a reverse phone book. Hopefully, it didn't take you long to get here at eReversePhoneBook.com because we use literally billions of data sources to help our clients find people. It's what we're good at. And while our services aren't free, we do offer a 5-day Trial Membership for just $1.
Getting What You Paid For
There's a difference between the way things work now and the way things worked when the White Pages and Yellow Pages were the number one source for finding people. The change is primarily linked to cell phones. Did you know that, according to research, over 70% of the world population now has a cell phone? That's astounding! Right here in the USA the reason the cell phone phenomenon makes it difficult to "people find" is because there isn't a directory that pools together all of the data from the many cell phone companies in order to provide a comprehensive cell phone number book.
In other words, it costs money to access cell phone directories and find people using only their name.
When you use our services, you are given access to a lot more than cell phone directories. We pull public information from eVerify, web pages, public records, and much more. We are a great people finder company because you can find people using only:
- A phone number
- A name
- A physical address, or
- An email address
When Not to Use eReversePhoneBook.com
The service we offer is a life-saver for many reasons, such as when you don't know someone's phone number or you have a phone number but no name. But there are some things you're not supposed to use our service for, including:
- If you are simply looking for fodder for a news story.
- To investigate private details about famous celebrities or government officials.
- To determine whether or not a person is eligible for a government benefit or license.
- To determine whether a person qualifies for insurance or credit for personal or household purposes.
- For tenant screening pre-employment investigation.
- For skip tracing purposes (this is because of inaccuracies which inherently exist in public records).
- For any purpose linked to potential physical or emotional harm to the subject of the report.
You won't be able to find the phone number of a person who has an unlisted number, due to privacy laws.
An Advanced Search Reveals Criminal Activity
If you do a basic search to find people, you gain basic information such as name, address, and phone number; and that may be all you need. But if you get an advanced report, you can learn a lot more about the person you're investigating, such as whether or not they have any criminal activity in their background.
There may be times when you want to discreetly check on someone's background, whether it's your daughter's new boyfriend or a man you're thinking about marrying. The truth is that sometimes people aren't honest about their background, and there's nothing wrong with making sure that what you're getting into isn't something you'll regret.
Criminal activity is part of the data included in public records, which you'll have access to in an advanced search. You could even be considering which relative to put in your will to care for your children, and you may not want a relative with a serious criminal background to be your childrens' backup caregivers.
For whatever reason that you need to find people, eReversePhoneBook.com can help.

At the beginning of the season I shared a few things to look for during the 2012 season. Let's see how accurate I was.
….I have absolutely no irrational beliefs that the Mets will finish better than fourth place in their division this season.
My expectation for 2012 is to leisurely enjoy each game with the hopes that I begin to pick up on signs that the Mets will contend next year, or more realistically in 2014.
Couldn't be more spot on in terms of my beliefs on how the team would fare overall. Fourth place it was. I am glad I went back and re-read this though. It reminded me that 2014 is a more realistic year for the Mets to compete. Not sure I'll have the patience to wait another year however.
Ruben Tejada will play a solid, consistent shortstop defensively, and hit .270.
Congrats to Ruben. No one can argue he was a solid, consistent shortstop in 2012. He exceeded my expectations with a .289 average.
Daniel Murphy will boast a plus .300 batting average but will struggle at second base. However, it will still be a better showing than Luis Castillo's efforts as a Met.
I'm man enough to admit that I was wrong on two out of three accounts here. I handed myself a gimme with the Castillo measurement, but Murph did not quite make it to .300 as he finished with a .291 average. I am cool with the fact that Murphy did not struggle at second base and even seemed to get more comfortable as the season went on.
Lucas Duda and Ike Davis will both blast 20 plus homers, maybe even 30 plus.
Thanks Ike. Lucas, I will never forgive you for making me look like a fool. You are dead to me.
David Wright will hit .280 and his strike outs will decrease, but will still rely on the submarine heaves across the diamond that will lead to a number of throwing errors.
Looks like I am once again batting .333 on this one. Great if I was a hitter, not so great in terms of "predictions". I'm glad #5 had the bounce back season he did.
Johan Santana will remain relatively healthy and pick up 12 wins.
Not very close on this one. Maybe in 2013?
Mr. Met will serve some jail time after beating Billy The Marlin's ass after Billy insinuates that he has always been Jose Reyes' favorite mascot. Who names a fish Billy anyway?
Fortunately for Mr. Met, the Marlins imploded this year causing Billy the Marlin to drink heavily. An unidentified source tells me he has checked in to a very expensive rehab center to help him stop binging on Mojitos and Pina Coladas.
Mike Pelfrey will have his last season as a starter as a New York Met.
This wasn't a stretch going into the season. I'm not thrilled that this came to fruition due to injury.
Tim Byrdak will be effective for a second consecutive season, largely due to the fact that he graced the first ever cover of the Midwestropolitan.com Facebook page.
Well, he was effective before he got hurt. You're not going to hold the cover choice against me Tim, are you?
The Mets will still be looking for a true closer, even though Bobby Parnell will have a better showing this season.
Yup and yup. The problem here is the Mets won't spend a lot of cash for a proven closer so they will still be searching in 2013. As much as I like typing his name, Franc Franc is clearly not the answer.
Andres Torres will be hurt much of the season. After all, dude is 34 years old, that's ancient for a lead off man playing CF.
He wasn't hurt, but he was awful. I was particularly disappointed in his base running.
I don't even want to discuss Jason Bay. I am just going to hope like heck he has a good season. He sure seems like a swell guy and I'd hate to see him have another tough go of it.
Still don't want to discuss J. Bay. Still seems like a swell guy.
On to 2013 boys.

Earthjustice attorneys represent public-interest clients concerned about threats to the environment and hold accountable those who jeopardize the health of our planet. Thanks to the generosity of our many supporters, we provide expert legal support free of charge to groups large and small. Several of the most important legal battles for this year can be found at the 2014 Legal Docket.
Our complete legal docket includes about 300 active cases. Learn about some of our recent and historical cases:
|Protecting Coos Bay's Estuary from Massive Dredging Project
|A coalition of local residents, grassroots environmental and clean-energy activists, represented by Earthjustice, have asked the Oregon Court of Appeals to put the brakes on a Oregon Department of State Lands' dredging permit that paves the way for the Port of Coos Bay to export dangerous liquefied natural gas (LNG) or coal and other bulk commodities to Asia.
|Protecting Seneca Lake from Gas Industry Infrastructure Projects
|Two gas industry infrastructure projects are proposed for underground salt caverns on the shores of Seneca Lake, in the Finger Lakes region of Western New York. They would involve large-scale storage facilities with new capacity for 88 million gallons of liquid petroleum gasand additional capacity for natural gas, expanding storage to 2 billion cubic feet. Environmental advocates are concerned that these projects will lock the region into continued extraction and use of dirty fossil fuels and discourage the growth of renewable energy.
|Public's Right to Know: Styrene
|Earthjustice and a coalition of groups are working to make sure the government can alert the American public to the potential dangers of styrene, a chemical used extensively in the manufacture of plastics, as well as boats, cars, bathtubs and products made with rubber, such as tires and conveyer belts.
|Stopping Industrialization of the Thompson Divide
Earthjustice, representing Wilderness Workshop, has filed an administrative appeal seeking reversal of the April 9, 2013, Colorado Bureau of Land Management (BLM) decision that extended the lives of 25 oil and gas leases set to expire in 2013. These leases, which BLM admits were illegally sold and which have sat unused for ten years, are located in the heart of the Thompson Divide, a prized refuge of public lands in the White River National Forest.
|Protecting Chesapeake Bay from LNG Export Terminal
|Earthjustice and a coalition of local, regional, and national groups are objecting to the environmental impacts posed by the proposed Dominion Cove Point liquefied natural gasexport terminal on the Chesapeake Bay, saying the project would hurt the Bay's economy and ecology, increase air pollution, and hasten fracking and drilling in neighboring states.
|Protecting America's First National River
|A coalition of conservation and citizen groups, represented by Earthjustice, have sent a notice of intent to sue to the U.S. Department of Agriculture regarding its Farm Service Agency's loan guarantee for an industrial 6,500-pig swine facility on the banks of a tributary that flows straight into the Buffalo National River—an action that was not properly examined and may violate the Endangered Species Act. The facility, C&H Hog Farms, is under contract with Cargill, an international producer and marketer of agricultural products.
|Suing City of Rochelle, GA, Over Decades of Sewage Dumping
|Earthjustice is representing a group of African-American citizens suing their city government for discharging the city's raw sewage onto their properties, a clear and egregious violation of the Clean Water Act.
|Coal Mines Clouding America's Air
|A coalition of groups—including WildEarth Guardians, Sierra Club, Center for Biological Diversity, and Environmental Integrity Project represented by Earthjustice—have filed suit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency over its failure to protect public health and the environment from air pollution from coal mines in the United States.
|Banning Dangerous Rat Poisons
|The American Bird Conservancy, Center for Biological Diversity, Defenders of Wildlife and the Sierra Club, represented by Earthjustice, are taking legal action to support the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's efforts to ban sales of several harmful rodenticides.
|Seeking Full Review of GE Salmon Environmental Risks
Genetically engineered salmon is the first ever GE fish intended for human consumption in the United States. Documents disclosed through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request raise serious questions about the adequacy of the Food and Drug Administration's review of the AquAdvantage Salmon application.
|Protecting Waterways from the TVA Gallatin Coal Plant
Earthjustice, representing the Tennessee Clean Water Network, the Sierra Club and the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, has appealed a pollution permit issued to Tennessee Valley Authority for its Gallatin coal-fired power plant to prevent toxic discharges of heavy metals and other harmful waste byproducts of burning coal. The plant's polluted wastewaters are dumped into unlined ponds that allow pollution to continue to harm the environment.
|Challenging TVA's Expensive Decision on Gallatin Plant
Earthjustice and Southern Environmental Law Center, representing Tennessee Scenic Rivers Association, Tennessee Environmental Council, Sierra Club, and Center for Biological Diversity, has filed a legal challenge to the Tennessee Valley Authority on the grounds that TVA violated the National Environmental Policy Act when the federal power company finalized its plan to spend more than one billion dollars to retrofit the Gallatin Fossil Plant, a coal-fired power plant near Nashville.
|Protecting Human Rights by Reducing Black Carbon Emissions to Slow Arctic Warming
|The Arctic Athabaskan Council has filed a petition to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, asking the Commission to declare that Canada is undermining the human rights of Athabaskan peoples by poorly regulating emissions of black carbon, or soot, a short-lived climate pollutant which contributes significantly to Arctic warming and melting. Readily available emissions reduction measures could substantially slow Arctic warming and melting and protect Athabaskan rights.
|Protecting Grays Harbor from Becoming an Industrial Crude Oil Zone
The Quinault Indian Nation, represented by Earthjustice, is opposing the first of at least three proposed oil shipping facilities that could transform Grays Harbor, WA into an industrial crude oil zone.
|Seeking Solutions to Critical Salmon Barrier on Rogue Basin's Evans Creek
In the wake of failed efforts to broker the voluntary removal of the Rogue Basin's defunct Fielder Dam, Earthjustice, representing WaterWatch of Oregon, has filed suit in U.S. District Court, contending that the dam harms threatened coho salmon in violation of the Endangered Species Act.

The Sujihiki is a slicing knife intended for slicing boneless fish filets. It can also be used for slicing boneless roasts, hams and poultry breasts. The short height of the blade creates less friction when slicing and the blade draws through fish and meat effortlessly. The sujihiki is the Western-style equivalent the traditional yanagi knife.
The gyutou is a versatile chef's knife. It can be used for cutting meat, fish and vegetables, making it suitable for preparing Western cuisine. Lightweight and thin, Japanese chef knives have a sharper blade and maintain their sharpness longer than most other chef knives.

Our speaker will be Mr. Neil Barofsky, who served as the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Assets Relief Program ("SIGTARP") during the financial crisis. Currently an adjunct professor at NYU Law School, Mr. Barofsky has been very critical of the administration's handling of the bailout and overall reform efforts, and his recent book, "Bailout: An Inside Account of How Washington Abandoned Main Street While Rescuing Wall Street", has received considerable attention. Noting that "the future of our economy continues to be dictated by seemingly endless dysfunction in Washington," Mr. Barofsky will discuss what he learned from his time as SIGTARP, including his conclusion that the government mishandled the most recent crisis and that "captured politicians and watered down regulatory reform have helped sow the seeds for the next one." Mr. Barofsky will offer his views on how we got where we are and what we need to do to keep history from repeating itself.

text: I'm trying to run the iPC 10.5.6 load on an HP zd8000. I can get it to install and run, but I'm limited to a single (unacceptable) video resolution choice of 1084X768. I've done some poking around, and I found a spec for an old Mac Pro for sale that claimed it had an ATI x600 from the factory. If Macs actually shipped with that h/w, shouldn't a standard installation be able to detect it and install a good enough driver to run several different resolutions? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso will all be absent from the upcoming Pirelli tyre test in Bahrain.
Instead of choosing their two drivers for the 2014 season for the testing session, Ferrari opted for development driver Pedro de la Rosa and Driver Academy member Jules Bianchi.
Although Red Bull are yet to confirm their drivers for the test that was officially sanctioned on Monday, according to a report by Autosport, Vettel is unlikely to be present.
Red Bull, Mercedes, Ferrari and Toro Rosso are the only teams that confirmed their participation at the test, after McLaren, Force India, Lotus, Sauber, Williams, Marussia and Caterham all declined the opportunity presented by Pirelli, although Torro Rosso's plans aren't known yet.
Ferrari noted that using De la Rosa for the test would give them an opportunity to compare the results with those the Spaniard achieved with the simulator earlier this year.
The Maranello outfit added that Bianchi was chosen in order to give him a chance to "demonstrate the progress he has made this year in F1."

Capital Markets Recap
There have been some seemingly-crazy price targets for the S&P 500 of late. From a service of ours, an anagram of which spells Den Navis, which says we're going to the old highs (1576) to Lazlo Birinyi, who says 1700 for the S&P 500. I could easily come around to that view from a technical basis. A Fibonacci retracement of the move from 2007′s high to 2009′s low reveals that 1361 is a resistance level of modest importance (the biggies were 1013.37, 1120.82, and 1228.26) and the action this week places the index above that level. A common technical rule of thumb is a 3% move beyond a level constitutes a valid break of it. That means 1401 and above that there's nothing but air, making a move to 1576.09 quite conceivable.
Top Stories
Other than the story that follows about Greece and payrolls, below, the only other big story for the week was this one:
Next, here is an utterly fascinating video. It not only describes the Greek dilemma, but it does so in a completely engaging fashion. I was torn between listening and watching, and I think you will be, too.
Well, it happened: Greece defaulted. The Wall Street Journal calls it, "the largest-ever sovereign-debt default and the first for a Western European country in half a century." The same Wall Street Journal article says that Greece would reduce the face value of its bonds by 53.5%. For those with a mathematical bent, that means that existing bond holders will get back 46.5% of the face value of their bonds. That will come in two pieces:
- Greece will issue bonds worth 31.5% of the face value of the original bonds; and
- The Eureopean Financial Stability Facility will issue two-year (or less) notes worth 15% of the value of the original bonds; and
- [Plus, act now, and you'll receive...] GDP-linked bonds equal to the face value of the bonds received in #1, above.
It gets worse. Bloomberg has set up a function on its terminals to value the debt based on various inputs. So, change the discount rate, for example, and you get an adjusted present value of the bond. There's a footnote at the bottom of the screen that says, "assumes zero value for new Greek GDP linked bonds."
It's not hard to see why. Here's Greece's year-over-year change in GDP, with today's figure (-7.5%) drawn in. You do not want to own bonds, the value of which is linked to Greek GDP.
According to the terms of the offer, the new bonds (#1 above) will pay:
A number of smart folks are saying that even this step, which will take the ratio of Greek debt to GDP from 165% to something north of 100%, won't be enough for the country. According to the WSJ article, some of the new bonds are already trading in a "hypothetical 'gray market' " for "between 15 and 17 cents…Those levels indicate that investors think Greece will still be unlikely to meet all its obligations after the final restructuring." So, guess what's next.
That's a Drachma if you're a rube, and if some smart people are right, it's the final solution for Greece. According to Jonathan Tepper, co-author with John Mauldin on the book Endgame, it might not be so bad. You can click here to read, A Primer on the Euro Breakup. The author suggests that instead of an exit from a currency union being an unheard-of and disastrous thing, it's happened several times in the past, and the results aren't entirely unpleasant for the departing contestants. Here are some excerpts from the article:
The move from an old currency to a new one can be acomplished quickly and efficiently.
The experience of emerging market countries shows that the pain of devaluation would be brief and rapid growth and recovery would follow — Countries that have defaulted and devalued have experienced short, sharp contractions followed by very steep, protracted periods of growth.
Within the past 100 years, there have been over 100 breakups and exits from currency unions.
And from a study he cites:
Most strikingly, there is remarkably little macroeconomic volatility around the time of currency union dissolutions.
You can see, below, the reaction of U.S. stocks (S&P 500) and gold when the announcement was made (yawn). Later in the day, the group that governs Credit Default Swaps, the ISDA, determined, in a unanimous vote, that, indeed, a "credit event" had occurred on sellers of default protection were obligated to pay out about $3 billion. The market reacted mildly to that. In short, much of today's new was priced into stocks and gold.
In fact, there were more searches on Google for "Peyton Manning" than there were for "Greece" over the last few days.
This Week
In this first week of the month only one report matters to markets, the Nonfarm Payrolls Report, and that's just as well since there weren't many other releases this week. Wednesday's ADP Employment Report provided a bit of a heads-up, when it came in at 216,000 new jobs, in line with economists' expectations but 27% aheaed of January's number.
Here are the numbers:
- Change in Nonfarm Payrolls: +227,000 (17,000 more than expected)
- Change in Private Payrolls: +233,000 (8,000 more than expected)
- Change in Manufacturing Payrolls: +31,000 (8,000 more than expected)
- Unemployment Rate: 8.3% (as expected; unchanged from January)
- Underemployment Rate: 14.9%
Recall that the unemployment rate is calculated by dividing the unemployed (no job but looking for one) by the labor force (unemployed + employed.) When the folks camped out on Fort Wayne's Freimann Square decide to again look for a job they will become part of the labor force; right now, they're not counted amongst the unemployed since they're not interested in working.
I mean, really, do you think this guy's looking for a job?
So there are two moving parts, the labor force and the number unemployed but looking for work. Here is how the February numbers shook out.
While the headline employment rate was unchanged at 8.3%, carrying the math out a bit further reveals that it actually edged up by a fraction. The cause was a labor force that rose more than the number of employed.
Still, this was a pretty solid employment report, but here's the rub: this was the fourth warmest winter on record, and that undoubtedly pulled forward hiring that would have normally been seen on the arrival of wamer weather. That is reinforced by the rolls of Temporary Workers, which, in 2012, is higher than any of the last five years but 2008, when the economy was sliding headlong into recession. And we're still well below the average employment levels for this point in the expansion, although one of our services pointed out that it's better than the 2001 recovery.
Here's some red meat for both sides of the aisle. Pictured below is the unemployment rate around the last two recessions, both of which are shaded red. In the post-2001 recovery–using the NBER's official end date and–32 months after its end, the unemployment rate was just back to where it was at the recession's end (notice that it continued to rise for long after the recession's end. Now, 32 months after the last recession officially ended–depending largely on how you vote, we're at one of these two points:
- The unemployment rate's fallen by 12.6%!
- The unemployment rate's higher than it was after the last recession!
Next Week
In contrast to this week, next week offers up a bunch of releases.

I'm looking for a Tetris tutorial, either in C or C++. Anyone has good links?
Please log in or register to post a reply.
You should figure it out for yourself!!
Alot of people use a small 2d array to keep the block positions, then when the shape is placed, you insert it into array then detect for completed lines, then if any lines are completed the slit gets memcpyd out of the array.
Its actually mostly easy, its definitely a beginner project.
The hard bit is getting all the animation nice and smooth and the visuals nice.
