from "Midnight Lantern"
In Midnight Lantern: New and Selected Poems, Tess Gallagher collects her indispensable work from forty years of writing poetry, along with an ample new section written in the west of Ireland. Included in this generous book are Gallagher's signature nocturnesfor the changing Pacific Northwest, for her hardscrabble childhood, and for her late husband, Raymond Carver, and others. Her challenging new work confronts a tumultuous century's worth of art, warfare, and illness, while certifying the stubborn resilience of poetry and love. Astonishing, insightful, mischievous, an inimitable "seeing-into experience," Midnight Lantern is the essential book by a poet in the prime of her power.

"It is impossible to read Tess Gallagher's poems without being drawn into their mesmerizing rhythms and convinced of the rightness of her intense yet unforced images." Joyce Carol Oates on Tess Gallagher
"Tess Gallagher's is perhaps the most deeply moving and spiritual and intensely intelligent poetry being written in America today." William Heyen on Tess Gallagher
"Never morose, sentimental, or embittered, Gallagher opens herself to the intricate miseries and mysteries of love in poems that are worthy of the Pulitzer Prize." The Seattle Times on Tess Gallagher

Chapter OneWhen You Speak to Me
Take care when you speak to me.
I might listen, I might
draw near as the flame
breathing with the log, breathing
with the tree it has not
forgotten. I might
put my face
next to
your face
in your nameless trouble,
in your trouble
and name.
It is a thing I learned
without learning; a hand
is a stronger mouth, a kiss could
crack the skull, these
words, small steps
in the air calling
the secret hands, the mouths
hidden in the flesh.
This isn't robbery.
This isn't your blood for my
tears, no confidence
in trade or barter. I may
say nothing back
which is to hear
after you the fever
inside the words we say
apart, the words we say so hard
they fall apart.
Instructions to the Double
So now it's your turn,
little mother of silences, little
father of half-belief. Take up
this face, these daily rounds
with a cabbage under each arm
convincing the multitudes
that a well-made-anything
could save them. Take up
most of all, these hands
trained to an ornate piano
in a house on the other side
of the country.
I'm staying here
without music, without
applause. I'm not going
to wait up for you. Take
your time. Take mine
too. Get into some trouble
I'll have to account for. Walk
into some bars alone
with a slit in your skirt. Let
the men follow you on the street
with their clumsy propositions, their
loud hatreds of this and that. Keep
walking. Keep your head
up. They are calling to you-slut, mother,
virgin, whore, daughter, adulteress, lover,
mistress, bitch, wife, cunt, harlot,
betrothed, Jezebel, Messalina, Diana,
Bathsheba, Rebecca, Lucretia, Mary,
Magdelena, Ruth, you—Niobe,
woman of the tombs.
Don't stop for anything, not
a caress or a promise. Go
to the temple of the poets, not
the one like a run-down country club,
but the one on fire
with so much it wants
to be done with. Say all the last words
and the first: hello, goodbye, yes,
I, no, please, always, never.
If anyone from the country club
asks you to write poems, say
your name is Lizzie Borden.
Show him your axe, the one
they gave you with a silver
blade, your name engraved there
like a whisper of their own.
If anyone calls you a witch,
burn for him; if anyone calls you
less or more than you are
let him burn for you.
It's a dangerous mission. You
could die out there. You
could live forever.
Beginning to Say No
is not to offer so much as a fist, is
to walk away firmly, as though
you had settled something foolish,
is to wear a tarantula in your buttonhole
yet smile invitingly, unmindful
how your own blood grows toward the irreversible
bite. No, I will not
go with you. No, that is not
all right. I'm not your sweet-dish, your
home-cooking, good-looking daffodil.
Yes is no
reason to slay the Cyclops. No
will not save it. And the cricket, "Yes, yes."
Fresh bait, fresh bait!
The search for the right hesitation
includes finally
unobstructed waters. Goodbye,
old happy-go-anyhow, old shoe
for any weather. Whose
candelabra are you? Whose
soft-guy, nevermind, nothing-to-lose anthill?
"And," the despised connective,
is really an engine
until it is yes all day, until a light
is thrown against a wall
with some result. And
there is less doubt, yes or no,
for whatever you have been compelled to say
more than once.
The day you came
this world got its hold on me.
Summer grass and the four of us pounding hell
out of each other for god knows what
green murder of the skull.
Swart nubbins, I noticed you then,
my mother shaking a gritty rag from the porch
to get my shirt on this minute. Brothers,
that was the parting of our ways, for then
you got me down by something else than flesh.
By the loose skin of a cotton shirt
you kept me to the ground
until the bloody gout hung in my face like a web.
Little mothers, I can't find your children.
I have looked in a man
who moved through the air like a god.
He brought me clouds
and the loose stars of his goings.
Another kissed me on a pier in Georgia
but there was blood on his hands,
bad whiskey in the wind. The last one,
he made me a liar until I stole
what I could not win. Loves,
what is this mirror you have left me in?
I could have told you at the start
there would be trouble
from other hands, how the sharp mouths
would find you where you slept.
But I have hurt you as certainly
with cold sorrowing as anyone,
have come the long way
over broken ground to this softness.
Good clowns, how could I know, all along
it was your blundering mercies kept me alive
when heaven was a luckless dream.
The Woman Who Raised Goats
Dear ones, in those days it was otherwise.
I was suited more to an obedience
of windows. If anyone had asked,
I would have said: "Windows are my prologue."
My father worked on the docks
in a cold little harbor, unhappily
dedicated to what was needed
by the next and further
harbors. My brothers
succeeded him in this, but when I,
in that town's forsaken luster, offered myself,
the old men in the hiring hall creeled
back in their chairs, fanning themselves
with their cards, with their gloves.
"Saucy," they said. "She's saucy!"
Denial, O my Senators,
takes a random shape. The matter
drove me to wearing
a fedora. Soon, the gowns, the amiable
forgeries: a powdery sailor, the blue silk
pillow given by a great aunt, my name
embroidered on it like a ship, the stitched
horse too, with its red plume and its bird eyes
glowing. There was the education
of my "sensibilities."
All this is nothing to you.
You have eaten my only dress, and the town
drifts every day now
toward the harbor. But always,
above the town, above
the harbor, there is the town,
the harbor, the caves and hollows
when the cargo of lights
is gone.
Black Money
His lungs heaving all day in a sulphur mist,
then dusk, the lunch pail torn from him
before he reaches the house, his children
a cloud of swallows about him.
At the stove in the tumbled rooms, the wife,
her back the wall he fights most, and she
with no weapon but silence
and to keep him from the bed.
In their sleep the mill hums and turns
at the edge of water. Blue smoke
swells the night and they drift
from the graves they have made for each other,
float out from the open-mouthed sleep
of their children, past banks and businesses,
the used car lots, liquor store, the swings in the park.
The mill burns on, now a burst of cinders,
now whistles screaming down the bay, saws jagged
in half-light. Then like a whip
the sun across the bed, windows high with mountains
and the sleepers fallen to pillows
as gulls fall, tilting
against their shadows on the log booms.
Again the trucks shudder the wood-framed houses
passing to the mill. My father
snorts, splashes in the bathroom,
throws open our doors to cowboy music
on the radio. Hearts are cheating,
somebody is alone, there's blood in Tulsa.
Out the back yard the night-shift men rattle
the gravel in the alley going home.
My father fits goggles to his head.
From his pocket he takes anything metal,
the pearl-handled jack knife, a ring of keys,
and for us, black money shoveled
from the sulphur pyramids heaped in the distance
like yellow gold. Coffee bottle tucked in his armpit
he swaggers past the chicken coop,
a pack of cards at his breast.
In a fan of light beyond him
the Kino Maru pulls out for Seattle,
some black star climbing
the deep globe of his eye.
He motions me over with a question.
He is lost. I believe him. It seems
he calls my name. I move
closer. He says it again, the name
of someone he loves. I step back pretending
not to hear. I suspect
the street he wants
does not exist, but I am glad to point
away from myself. While he turns
I slip off my wristwatch, already laying a trail
for those who must find me
tumbled like an abandoned car
into the ravine. I lie
without breath for days among ferns.
Pine needles drift
onto my face and breasts
like the tiny hands
of watches. Cars pass.
I imagine it's him
coming back. My death
is not needed. The sun climbs again
for everyone. He lifts me
like a bride
and the leaves fall from my shoulders
in twenty-dollar bills.
"You must have been cold," he says
covering me with his handkerchief.
"You must have given me up."
Stepping Outside
for Akhmatova
Hearing of you, I never lost a brother
though I have, never saw a husband to war,
though I have, never kept with my father
the emptiness of his hands, my mother
the dying of her womb.
Return: husbands, sons, fathers return.
Many with both arms, with dreams
broken in both eyes.
They try, they try
but they cannot tell us
what comes back with them.
One more has planted his hoe
in my heart like an axe, my farmer uncle
slain by thieves
in the night, burned down
with his house, buried, dug up
to prove he was no dog.
He was no dog.
You, who lived in your pain until it grew
its own face, would have left all this
like a monument in a field. Your words
would have made a feast of what ate you.
Sit with me.
No one has left; no one returns.
Two Stories
(To the author of a story taken from the death
of my uncle, Porter Morris, murdered June 7,
1972, Windyville, Missouri)
You kept the names, the flies
of who they were, mine
gone carnival, ugly Tessie.
It got wilder but nothing
personal. The plot had me
an easy lay for a buck.
My uncle came to life
as my lover. At 16
the murderer stabbed cows
and mutilated chickens. Grown,
you gave him a crowbar that happened
to be handy twice. Then you made him
do it alone. For me
it took three drunks, a gun, the house
on fire. There was a black space
between trees where I told you.
The shape of my uncle
spread its arms on the wire springs
in the yard and the neighbors
came to look at his shadow
caught there under the nose
of his dog. They left that angel
to you. Your killer never
mentioned money. Like us he wanted
to outlive his hand in the sure blood
of another. The veins of my uncle streaked
where the house had been. They watched
until morning. Your man found a faucet
in an old man's side. His pants
were stiff with it for days. He left
the crowbar on Tessie's porch like a bone.
My weapon was never found.
The murderers drove a white
station wagon and puked
as they went. They hoped
for 100 dollar bills stuffed
in a lard can. But a farmer
keeps his money in cattle
and land. They threw his billfold
into the ditch like an empty
bird. One ran away. Two stayed
with women. I kept the news
blind. You took it from my mouth,
shaped it for the market, still
a dream worse than I remembered.
Now there is the story of me
reading your story and the one
of you saying it
doesn't deserve such care.
I say it matters
that the dog stays by the chimney
for months, and a rain
soft as the sleep of cats
enters the land, emptied
of its cows, its wire gates pulled down
by hands that never dug
the single well, this whitened field.
The Calm
We were walking through the bees
and stars. Our mouths
made a sense without us.
I loved your hands
because of your mouth, each star
because of a life not chosen
by the hand. I told you,
don't say it, the loss
of our lives beyond us. You
said it. You said it
for the sake of a loneliness
together, for the praise of our eyes
going on without shadows.
Even now, when all our nights
have washed away
and the apples have left
the trees, I am keeping your place
where the high grass
has entered the song. Like a swarm,
the heart moves with its separate
wings under the eaves.
If I knew where to find you
I would say good-bye
and have the hurtful ease of that,
but the gates are everywhere
and this calm—an imagined forgiveness,
the childhood before we meet again.

Often overlooked once they are remanded to custody, incarcerated former business executives can provide valuable insight into the inner workings of organizations while also contributing to the dialogue on of business ethics within the undergraduate business curricula. This paper summarizes experiences of white collar offenders obtained through a questionnaire-based research method to elicit lessons on ethics from prisoners and to provide a unique learning experience for undergraduate business students. Data was collected from 12 questionnaire responses (n = 12) which resulted in four major themes involving business ethics: core values, ethical responsibility, ethics training, and ethical culture. Narrative responses, integration of ethical decision-making research and student discoveries are included for each theme.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
You are probably on a ADSL Connection.
ADSL stand for Asymmetrical DSL (or if you wish, Asymmetric digital subscriber line). In this type of communications speed is always considerably higher in one direction, hence the "Asymmetrical". However, on a Asymmetrical connection, which direction is higher is determined by the service provider. So there is not real impediment for upload speeds to be higher than download.
As for the reasons why this is a preferably mechanism, read below (source):
The technology is geared towards "normal" usage. Most Internet users will download an exponential amount compared to their uploading. Browsing the Internet, watching videos, downloading music will all be a small upload followed by a huge download.
many ISP offer a ratio of 8/1 for domestic connections (download speed is 8 times higher than the upload speed). and as usual, the small print applies, it's always 'up to'.
contention ratio is another factor for varying connection speeds, the higher the contention ratio, the greater the number of users that may be trying to use the actual bandwidth at any one time and, therefore, the lower the effective bandwidth offered, especially at peak times.
for a more accurate answer, refer to to the connection specifications of your provider.

Every now and then a book comes along that poses a serious and important question for physicians and the medical profession to answer. Here is such a book written primarily for the layman, but which demands that the medical profession once and for all answer the question of whether psychoanalysis, especially of the Freudian variety, should be considered, even indirectly, as a part of scientific medicine. Dr. Pinckney's book says NO, but Dr. Pinckney is careful to stress throughout his book that this is merely his opinion. Parenthetically, how wonderful it is to find there is someone still left in this world who is not afraid to express an opinion without fear of being accused of being a nonconformist! The author states that ". . . this book was never intended to be a review of the psychoanalytical literature, a mere copying of the criticisms already in print . . .

Sacramento Mayor Says Kings Sale Agreement Reached, Bee Reports
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson said an investment group led by Vivek Ranadive has signed a contract and wired money to purchase the National Basketball Association's Sacramento Kings, the Sacramento Bee reported.
Johnson, speaking this morning, said the deal still has to close, but that he didn't see any difficulties ahead, according to the Bee.
The agreement values the Kings franchise at $535 million. Ranadive, a part-owner of the Golden State Warriors, will have to sell his stake in the team.
Johnson has scheduled a 10 a.m. Sacramento time press conference to discuss the agreement that will keep the franchise in the city. NBA owners this week rejected the team's proposed move to Seattle and $625 million sale to Valiant Capital founder Chris Hansen.

He is a representational painter whose current series of psycho-mythological narratives explores those transitional, tentative moments that occur between times of purposeful activity. In an age that is often categorized as being in a perpetual state of crisis he seeks, by monumentalizing the ordinary, to reinforce the shared human core that is embedded in everyday experience.
Brian completed a five-year project of writing, illustrating, and designing an introductory perceptual drawing text, "Drawing from Observation", which McGraw-Hill published in 2002. This book contains over two hundred drawings from Miami students. Brian spent 2001 in his studio preparing for a solo exhibition of his narrative paintings, charcoal drawings, and digitally manipulated images installed at the Lowe Art Museum. In February of 2002 Brian presented a paper at the 90th Annual College Art Association conference in Philadelphia. His paper, titled "Preserving the Post-Medieval Mindset" was part of a session on Perceptual Drawing in Higher Education.
In the spring of 1999 Brian was awarded the Dean's Excellence in Teaching award and was also a finalist for the Excellence in Teaching Award for the University of Miami for both 1999 and 2000.
Brian is the head of Miami's drawing program and works with students in painting and printmaking programs.
Saban has been the football coach at LSU since 1999.

And this, my friends, is why I didn't want Tom Brady to take part in the NFL's little Super Bowl MVP donkey show. Far be it for me to be one of those people who brags about being right, but once again everything unfolded just as I said it would. Every past MVP from Chuck Howley to Jake Scott to Mark Rypien got treated like royalty, and the G.O.A.T. got treated like a wrestling heel.
Congratulations, Supreme Leader Snoke Goodell. You didn't succeed in getting Brady suspended. You haven't (and won't) win your court case. You couldn't stop his team from winning. But you did manage to do what no other commissioner in the history of sports ever did: Destroy the reputation of one of the greatest ambassadors your game has ever had over nothing. You took a man who's represented your league with class, distinction and honor and reduced him to a punchline in the eyes of the nation. Even his own home town. I hope that thought keeps you up at night, but I doubt it does. To be bothered by what you've done would require a conscience and a soul and you have neither.
To everyone who argued with me that for Brady not to show up would be petty, ruin the ceremony and cost him the chance to enjoy a great moment, I'm going to suggest you listen to those boos and tell me who's guilty of doing all three. And I'm going to suggest Brady himself listen to them next time he's thinking about playing nice with others and just stay home instead. If they're going to treat him like a villain, it's time to start acting like one.

— Sunday's Super Bowl will go down as one of the least entertaining ever, a defensive snoozefest that was filled with mistakes by both teams. And as a whole, the Super Bowl commercials were similarly disappointing.
However, there were some memorable spots, including the bizarre PuppyMonkeyBaby commercial for Mountain Dew's Kickstart energy drink. In an effort to promote the fact that the product is a combination of dew, juice and caffeine, the company featured a creature with a puppy's head, a monkey's upper body and a baby's bottom half (including diaper). The animal enters a room with three men and starts chanting "PuppyMonkeyBaby" while distributing the drink. It then licks the face of one of the men before leading them out the door in a dance.
The commercial horrified many viewers, but it certainly appeared to be generating the most buzz.
Tweeted James Bates of Fox Sports: I'm scared of commercial breaks now. . . #puppymonkeybaby might start lickin' stuff again.
Joked comedian Patton Oswalt: That puppy monkey baby is already being used in ISIS recruiting videos. #SB50
— One year after Marshawn Lynch was left on the sideline during the game-deciding play of the Super Bowl, the Seahawks running back appeared to indicated that he'll be on the sideline for good.
During the fourth quarter of Sunday's game, Lynch tweeted a picture of a pair of cleats hanging from a power line along with a peace emoji. The team retweeted it along with the hashtag #ThankYouBeastMode but said there would be no further comment.
Lynch's teammates followed with tributes to the 29-year-old, who was able to play just seven regular-season games this season due an abdominal injury that required surgery. He finished with just 111 carries for 417 yards.
Wrote quarterback Russell Wilson: Honor playing with one of the best running backs of all time! Going to miss sharing the backfield with you 24.
Tweeted cornerback Richard Sherman: Salute to my guy @MoneyLynch . . . It was an honor sharing the field with you.
— The Browns have made it clear they plan to part ways with troubled quarterback Johnny Manziel, but new coach Hue Jackson is attempting to handle the situation delicately.
Speaking to Cleveland.com over the weekend, Jackson first expressed concern for Manziel's ex-girlfriend, who allegedly was involved in a domestic dispute with Manziel last week. Dallas police said Friday that they are launching a criminal investigation into the incident.
As for Manziel, Jackson said. "I don't know Johnny. I've never talked to Johnny. But I don't want to see any young man's life be at risk in any situation."
Added Jackson: "I know our organization well enough that the powers-that-be would reach out and create any environment that could help. Because we're not about hurting people. We're about saving people. I know that without question."
ON THIS DAY TRIVIA (answer below): On Feb. 8, 1960, who was named the first coach in Patriots history?
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Whenever you get a chance to run up and down and move the ball like we did tonight, it's fun. And not only that, we were making shots. When everybody's making shots, everybody's happy." — Celtics guard Avery Bradley, after the Celtics' 128-119 victory over the Kings
STAT OF THE DAY: 11 — Consecutive seasons with 30 goals for Capitals star Alex Ovechkin — who scored his 30th of this season in Sunday's 3-2 victory over the Flyers — making him just the third player in NHL history (along with Wayne Gretzky and Mike Gartner) to score 30 goals in each of his first 11 seasons
'NET RESULTS (mobile users, check the website to see the videos): Magic center Nikola Vucevic hits a fallaway at the buzzer for a win over the Hawks.
Just before halftime in the same game, Hawks forward Thabo Sefolosha hits a buzzer-beater from beyond halfcourt.
TRIVIA ANSWER: Lou Saban
SOOTHING SOUNDS: The late Dan Seals, lead singer of England Dan and John Ford Coley before embarking on a country music career, was born on this day in 1948.

Staff were lovely, however they were busy, so there was a lot of waiting for someone to see us.
The cafe had problems, so we couldn't eat anything, but one type of sandwich.
The relaxation room is right next to a sports studio and when we were in there, there was a judo lesson next door, so it wasn't very relaxing and sounded like a herd of elephants were about to come through the walls.
There is a picture of people relaxing in an alcove, however I was told that doesn't exist anymore and is used to store rubbish.
The massage was lovely and so were the staff, but overall it was a bit disappointing.
When I wrote to them to tell them, they didn't bother to reply to me.... which was nice.

Bone densitometry is currently widely recommended for, and considered central to, identifying post-menopausal women and older men at high risk of fracture and establishing an indication for pharmacological fracture-prevention therapy. The purpose of this article is to comprehensively review cost-effectiveness modelling studies published to date of bone mass measurement technologies (primarily dual energy x-ray absorptiometry [DXA]) designed to identify those individuals at sufficiently high risk of fracture to warrant pharmacological fracture-prevention therapy.
Based on older paradigms of the pharmacological treatment of those with a bone density value below a specific threshold, bone densitometry appears to be cost effective for post-menopausal women aged ≥65 years, regardless of the presence or absence of other clinical risk factors. For younger post-menopausal women, bone densitometry is likely to be cost effective only for those with specific clinical risk factors, such as prior fracture or low bodyweight. For older men, bone densitometry may be cost effective for those who have had a prior fracture and/or are aged ≥80 years, but the subset of men for whom bone densitometry is likely to be cost effective may vary from country to country depending on societal willingness to pay for health benefits, fracture rates in the population and the costs of bone densitometry and drug treatment. The cost effectiveness of other technologies such as heel ultrasound, peripheral DXA and quantitative CT remains uncertain.
However, in the context of the new WHO paradigm of directing treatment based on absolute fracture risk rather than bone density, a new generation of cost-effectiveness modelling studies will be required to define the most cost-effective way bone densitometry can be used to identify those who are likely to benefit sufficiently from pharmacological fracture-prevention therapies.

|Finish the game in Insane mode
Insane mode is the hardest difficulty. It's Nightmare difficulty with no checkpoint or saves. This will require you to finish the game without dying and you have to do it in a single sitting. You can pause the game so if you need a break for any length of time, you can do that. But if you die at any point in the game, you will respawn right back at your car in the beginning of the game. If you die from a failed jump, you will have to start over.
After you have beaten the game for the first time on any difficulty, you have the option to select a chapter and then select difficulty. Use this as a tool to learn the more difficult sections on Nightmare. Progress to the section you struggle with and create a save point. Replay the section several times until you feel that you can pass it with no issues. Continue doing this for the rest of the difficult sections. Once you feel comfortable that you can survive without dying, then it's time to select Insane difficulty from the new game screen at the main menu. But practice is key and doing it on Nightmare with checkpoints and the option to save will best prepare you.
Difficult sections you should consider practicing
Chapter - Prison Block
Chapter - Female Ward

How to celebrate the end of the world
It's funny how priorities change when the end looms.
The Hudson Opera Theatre had never considered a concert at this time of year. There are just too many other commitments for Ron De Fesi, its artistic director, and Christa Damaris, the general manager who's also the choral director at SUNY Orange.
But given the fact that Friday is the final recorded day in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar — leading some to believe that the world is ending — one HOT opportunity presented.
"We don't really think it's true, but just in case, we decided we should all go out singing and listening to our favorite music," says Damaris.
Who better to perform — and spend potentially one's last hours — with than the singers and instrumentalists with whom the musical connection is almost magical. Damaris also promises that the live concert featuring works by Bizet, Verdi, Mozart and Tchaikovsky, just to name a few, will likewise transport the audience with ease on wings of familiarity. The venue is easily accessible, and the seating is general. The early birds anticipating the end (15-30 minutes before the performance) will catch the preferred seats.
"There will be a potpourri of classical, opera, orchestral, choral and solo pieces," she says. "The selection of music is Ron's bailiwick. I handle the other details to help ensure it all happens."

India Seen Luring $40 Billion as Access to Equities Widen
India may attract as much as $40 billion in two years from individual investors overseas after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's government allowed them to directly access Asia's fifth-biggest stock market.
"Money which will come from this route will stay invested for longer periods of time" than that from foreign institutions, Thomas Mathew, who took over as the joint secretary to President Pranab Mukherjee this week, said in a phone interview yesterday. Investors from U.S. and Europe have already started opening accounts and trading under the new program, he said.
The finance ministry on Jan. 1 allowed qualified foreign investors, including individuals and groups or associations, to invest in local equity markets. Previously, only overseas institutions, their sub-accounts, and non-resident Indians were allowed to buy shares.
India plans to attract $75 billion into its capital markets from foreign asset managers and rich investors, Mathew, a former joint secretary in the Ministry of Finance's capital markets division, said on May 10, as the nation tackles economic growth near a three year low and a record current account deficit.
The current-account shortfall widened to $78.2 billion, or 4.2 percent of gross domestic product, in the year ended March, from $46 billion, or 2.7 percent, in the previous 12-month period, central bank data shows.
'Ambitious Target'
Singh is also grappling with corruption allegations and missed budget targets. Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings this year cut the sovereign credit outlook to negative, a step closer to non-investment grade rating.
India's policy environment is not conducive to achieving "such an ambitious target," said C.J. George, managing director of Geojit BNP Paribas Ltd. in Kochi, who had accompanied finance ministry officials to meet overseas investors earlier this year. "We can't ascertain the sustainability of the current foreign investments."
The BSE India Sensitive Index has risen 12 percent this year, helped by the highest foreign flows among 10 Asian markets, excluding China, tracked by Bloomberg.
The country's equity markets have received "unprecedented inflows" this year, he said. "India will continue to see this level of investment" for the remainder of the year.
Retail Investors
Foreign institutions have invested $12.3 billion in India in 2012, compared with a net outflow in the previous period, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Qualified depository participants provided the $40 billion estimate, Mathew said.
The government also plans to attract domestic retail investors through the Rajiv Gandhi Equity Savings Scheme, which is awaiting final approval from the finance minister, said Mathew, who oversaw capital markets for over two years.
"What we want to do is at least increase the depth of the Indian market," he said. "It will also act as a counter to FII inflows and outflows and help check volatility."
The plan gives new retail investors, with an annual income below 1 million rupees ($17,900), a tax rebate of 50 percent if they invest as much as 50,000 rupees in equities. The investment is locked in for three years with early exit, albeit without the tax benefit, allowed in the second and third year. The proposal may attract 150 billion rupees from investors in the year ending March, Mathew said.
Investors will be allowed to invest in companies that are part of the BSE 100 and Nifty 100 indexes and initial share sales of "large companies," he said.
'Woefully Inadequate'
About 25 million Indian households invest directly or indirectly in the capital markets, according to a survey in July 2011 by the National Council of Applied Economic Research, compared with a population of over 1.2 billion. That is "woefully inadequate," Mathew said.
Retail participation in India is only 1.3 percent of the total population in comparison with 41 percent in Australia, 18 percent in U.K. and 9.4 percent in China, he said.
India, which has a target of raising 300 billion rupees from stake sales in state-owned companies during the year ending March 31, will meet the goal, Mathew said. The government has raised 12.5 billion rupees so far from a sale of stake in National Buildings Construction Corp.
Mathew said he has recommended to the finance ministry that a portion of such asset sales be set aside for individual foreign investors. The government is also working on creating an exchange-traded disinvestment fund to attract investor interest, he said, without elaborating. The idea in at an "embryonic stage," Mathew said.

Nancy Gay of the San Francisco Chronicle lays out priorities for Mike Singletary and the 49ers. They include drafting a right tackle at No. 10, drafting a pass rusher thereafter and signing Amani Toomer to replace Isaac Bruce.
Kevin Lynch of Niner Insider says the 49ers can thank Kwame Harris, among others, for helping them land compensatory draft choices in the fifth and seventh rounds. Leading sacker Parys Haralson was a fifth-round pick.
Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic says Cardinals center Lyle Sendlein came out a big winner through the NFL's performance-based pay pool, nearly doubling his 2008 salary. I'll take a closer look at these figures for each NFC West team at some point here.
Also from Somers: Might the Cardinals be candidates for the "Hard Knocks" show on HBO? Just what Arizona needs, more drama.
Darren Urban of azcardinals.com says pass rusher Bertrand Berry will receive $1 million base salary for the 2009 season, same as he earned in 2008.
Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch checks in with Jets coach Rex Ryan to find out how close the Rams came to hiring the former Ravens assistant. Ryan said he had a "really nice" interview with Rams general manager Billy Devaney, but he never got the feeling Rams ownership had a serious interest. The Jets left little doubt. Ryan: "I felt [Jets owner] Woody Johnson chose me as well, and that was important to me."
VanRam of Turf Show Times thinks the Rams might be best off drafting Aaron Curry with the second overall choice, then finding help for their offensive line later.
Doug Farrar of Football Outsiders takes a closer look at Curry through a two-part interview. Second part is here.
Eric Williams of the Tacoma News Tribune checks in with former Seahawks fullback Leonard Weaver, who still has plenty to say. Weaver: "I felt like if they wanted me to come back to the organization, they would have put me in contact with someone involved in the offense, or somebody who's looking and saying, 'Hey, we maybe would want to use this guy in this offense.' But nobody did, so I kind of felt like, 'OK, at least I know where I stand in terms of what direction they want to go.'" The reality is that Weaver is a fullback and NFL teams don't value fullbacks the way they value other positions.
Chris Sullivan of Seahawk Addicts takes a look at defensive back Sean Smith as a potential Seahawks draft choice.
Ed Thompson of Scout.com says the Seahawks apparently have interest in defensive back Don Carey, who plans to visit team headquarters April 14-15.

Why Is It Important to Choose a Good Hairstyle?
9 comments:
There are many ways to get a great haircut. Consulting with an experienced hairstylist may be helpful because they will have insights into styles that will work well with your hair type. Taking the time to find a style that you really like is important, and you may want to avoid hasty decisions. Visiting the same barber or stylist repeatedly is a good idea as well. ....

MTA Decides This Is Probably Not the Best Time to Remove Seats From Subway Trains
Yeah, that would not have been received very well.
With the possibility that it could jack the price of a monthly unlimited MetroCard from $89 to $130, the MTA has smartly decided to hold off on experimenting with seatless trains for now. As part of a pilot program to free up more space on crowded rush-hour trains because obviously there is no money to just run more trains the MTA had ordered four trains with foldable seats, seats which would be locked in the "up" position at times of heavy volume. But with commuters already feeling like they're getting screwed, depriving them of the ability to even sit down was probably going to result in some kind of violent uprising involving mobs and guillotines. "I don't know that a train like that, even though the idea was to increase capacity, was something that the public would have embraced," a transit official says delicately.
Relief! Straphangers won't be crammed into cattle-cars after MTA nixes plan for seatless subways [NYDN]

How to add an external power supply
If you regularly use electrical equipment outdoors, such as a lawnmower or hedge trimmer, an external power point will make life easier and safer. Importantly, it should feature a residual current device (RCD) that will help to protect you from the risk of fatal electric shock.
Turning inside out with outdoor lighting effects
Warm summer evenings are all about spending time outdoors. Once dusk falls it's often time to move the party indoors. But have you ever thought of bringing the indoors out?

A Topeka family returned from an errand Monday night to find their home in flames.
It happened just before 6pm at 436 NE Freeman.
Topeka fire crews say a couple and their four children lived in the home. They had been out, and when they returned, opened the door to heavy smoke and fire.
Crews quickly got it under control, but not before it did significant damage. Fire officials estimate $78,00 in damages to the home. $53,000 in structural damage and $25,000 in content losses.
Fire officials say the fire was accidental- caused by an electrical issue.
The Red Cross is helping the family. No injuries were associated with the blaze.

you are viewing a single comment's thread.
study the historical earnings reports from the last year, and market reaction. Couple this with the fact that the price is proven to be subject to explode above 71 at any time with many estimating it to be a $73. Finally, what's happening today? If you doubt, then hold a short position, but, history and analysis maybe very much against your call.
Sentiment: Hold
Posting history for the Dork shows that he likes to trash ABT. Maybe a disgruntled former or current employee. Regardless of his motives, you're right and he's wrong.
IMO ABT is a stock that will be a winner for remainder of year.
yep, I am a digruntled ex-abbott employee; so many of my family members and friends have dedicated so many years (over 100 for my familiy alone) to the success of Abbott. Like many companies Abbott does what they need to do to satisfy the shareholders.
I hope he listened cause if not, I would be hurting right now. Man, I can't wait until the earnings report. It's gonna be like an atomic bomb, either way.
actually was holding 70 calls; sold.......
what's going to happen with Abbvie???? what do they have nothing in the hopper when Humira goes off????? lots of friends and family whom lost / are losing their jobs
Sentiment: Strong Sell
From an investment standpoint, I would think the spin-off will allow AbbVie to focus more on research, creating much more potential for growth in other areas. Addditionally, do not forget Abbott the other branch of the company, which will no longer be tied to the risk of drugs not being approved and will actually benefit from expired patents.
I see this as a win-win situation with both companies positioning themselves for rapid stock growth.
you cant enter here at this price.....its just too high

Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Eleven Biotherapeutics secured $20 million from new and existing investors in an extension to its Series A financing, which takes the total raised to $45 million. JAFCO joined the fundraising round as new investor together with financial input from existing investors Third Rock Ventures and Flagship Ventures.
Eleven Bio will use the funds to progress its initial protein therapeutic candidate EBI-005 into clinical development as a topical treatment for surface of the eye diseases as well as progress its earlier-stage pipeline. Initial clinical development of the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist is expected to start during 2012 for the treatment of dry eye syndrome. The firm cialms EBI-005 is the first rationally designed IL-1 receptor inhibitor for topical administration to be optimized for the treatment of dry eye disease and other ocular surface inflammatory disorders.
"This financing provides us with a strong financial foundation and firmly validates our investors' enthusiasm for Eleven's ability to develop novel, best-in-class protein therapeutics," comments CEO Abbie Celniker, Ph.D.
Eleven is exploiting its AMP-Rx platform for the rational design of what it calls 'fit for purpose' therapeutic proteins that display the optimum physical, efficacy, and selectivity characteristics. Besides EBI-005, the firm's preclinical pipeline includes an anti-IL-6 candidate against autoimmune and inflammatory disease, an IL-17 receptor antagonist for the potential treatment of ocular inflammation and uveitis, and an anti-myostatin antibody for treating muscle wasting. Early-stage research programs are in progress in the fields of hematology, immunosuppression, metabolism, inflammation, and gout therapy.

Library JournalThis work presents a persuasive case for the existence of ``spiritual emergencies''--extreme mental states experienced by some individuals in the process of personal metamorphosis. The Grofs (editors of Spiritual Emergency, Tarcher, 1989) denounce Western psychiatric practices that label persons in such states as mentally ill. They instead distinguish between psychiatric disorders and spiritual emergency, offering alternative modes of therapy for the latter. As the Grofs aim to show, the cycle of inner death and rebirth that typifies spiritual emergency ultimately leads to personal transformation and healing through a connection to a transcendent Higher Power or Higher Self. The last section offers self-help strategies, plus guidelines for family, friends, and mental health professionals. A bibliography is included. This radical treatise is recommended for large public and academic libraries.-- Amy A. Canadee, Cuyahoga Cty. P.L., Cleveland

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Researchers at Stanford University and The Scripps Research Institute identified chemical compounds that show promise as potential therapeutics for a set of medical conditions caused by the abnormal clumping together of a protein known as transthyretin (TTR). The compounds, which prevent the abnormal aggregation of the TTR protein, work by holding the protein together in its functional form. The scientists suggest that these compounds may have the potential to help people who have TTR-related amyloid diseases or are at risk for them, and may have advantages over other TTR-stabilizing drugs that are currently in clinical trials.
"These new compounds have structures that make them very effective at stabilizing TTR in its stable native tetrameric form in laboratory tests, and they also seem nontoxic in cell culture," said Stephen Connelly, a senior research associate in the Scripps Research laboratory of Professor Ian Wilson. The report appears in the current issue of Science Translational Medicine.
Secreted by the liver into the bloodstream, TTR tetramers work as transporters of the hormone thyroxine and also bind the holo retinal binding protein. In the bloodstream, however, TTR tetramers often come apart, and when that happens, the naturally sticky individual TTR proteins may start to re-form abnormally into toxic fibril-shaped aggregates known as amyloids. The scientists note that it is well known that the body's normal defenses against amyloids decline with aging.
TTR amyloids can impair functions or hasten age-related degeneration. Inherited mutations of the TTR gene can cause earlier-onset TTR amyloid conditions, including familial amyloid cardiomyopathy, which can lead to heart failure.
First-generation drug candidates for preventing TTR amyloid formation have been developed, and two are already in clinical trials, the investigators report. Most of these have chemical similarities to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). As such, the researchers say that they have potentially harmful side effects—including to the heart and kidney—that would make them less than ideal for long-term use, especially in patients with compromised heart function. For this reason, the team developed a test to screen a library of compounds for those that would bind and stabilize TTR bu,t otherwise, would not have NSAID-like effects.
They found 33 TTR stabilizers with their screening system. "Many of these were novel chemical entities with no previously known biological targets," says Isabella Graef, assistant professor of pathology at Stanford University. After selecting the most potent of the compounds, she and her team used further lab tests to confirm the compounds' effectiveness at preventing amyloid formation by normal and mutant forms of TTR. Preliminary tests of the compounds' toxicity also showed that they did not appear to harm normal cells.
Graef brought four of her best TTR-stabilizing compounds to Scripps Research for structural analysis. Using x-ray crystallography techniques, Connelly determined the structures of the four compounds as they bound to TTR. "Despite their diverse chemical differences, all four turned out to bind to the TTR tetramer in ways that span, and thereby, strengthen its weaker joints, stabilizing the healthy tetrameric form," said Connelly.
Graef and her colleagues at Stanford now are trying to gather more data on the effectiveness and safety of the more promising compounds. "Together with physicians from a cardiovascular clinic here at Stanford, we're investigating whether these compounds can stabilize, in a solution of blood serum, the TTR proteins of patients with a common familial amyloid cardiomyopathy mutation," she said. "If it can, then hopefully the pharmaceutical industry will want to develop it from there."
