Most European Stocks Retreat; BP Shares Plunge Most in 18 Years
Most European stocks declined as the rate of manufacturing expansion in China and Europe slowed and BP Plc failed to plug a leaking oil well in the Gulf of Mexico.
BP, Europe's second-biggest oil company, slumped the most in 18 years. Boliden AB led mining companies lower as base metals dropped. Prudential Plc jumped 6.3 percent on speculation its takeover of American International Group Inc.'s main Asian unit won't proceed. Ryanair Holdings Plc rose 4.4 percent as Europe's largest discount carrier reported an annual profit and said it will pay its first dividend.
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index increased 0.2 percent to 245.34 even as four shares fell for every three that advanced. The gauge slumped 5.8 percent in May, the biggest monthly drop since February 2009, amid concern that European nations will have difficulty taming their budget deficits without harming the economic recovery.
"Chinese manufacturing data is another sign showing the global economy is cooling down," said Markus Steinbeis, head of equity portfolio management at the Unterfoehring, Germany-based unit of Pioneer Investments, which oversees about $221 billion globally. "The cyclical tailwind is fading and the market is a bit under pressure. Expectations for the macroeconomic environment and earnings are still ambitious."
National benchmark indexes rose in 10 of the 18 western European markets. France's CAC slipped 0.1 percent while Germany's DAX gained 0.3 percent. The U.K.'s FTSE 100, which was closed for a holiday yesterday, decreased 0.5 percent.
China Manufacturing
China's Purchasing Managers' Index slid to 53.9 in May from
55.7 the month before, the Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said today. That was less than the median 54.5 estimate in a Bloomberg News survey of 18 economists. Readings above 50 indicate expansion.
A gauge of manufacturing in the euro region declined to
55.8 in May from 57.6 the previous month, Markit Economics said. That's below an initial estimate of 55.9 released on May 21.
In the U.S., construction spending rose in April by the most since 2000 and manufacturing expanded in May for a 10th straight month, bolstering optimism the world's largest economy is weathering the European debt crisis.
"We have to remain vigilant and take advantage of opportunities in this market," said Arnaud Scarpaci, a fund manager at Agilis Gestion in Paris, which oversees about $150 million. "This morning the statistics from China and Europe were disappointing, and this afternoon reports showed the U.S. is recovering. We have to weigh the pros and cons."
BP Plunges
BP, the third-largest stock in the Stoxx 600, slumped 13 percent to 430 pence, the biggest drop since June 1992. The company said on May 29 a "top kill" attempt to plug the worst oil spill in U.S. history using heavy fluids and debris had failed. That rules out stopping the flow of crude from the well until relief drilling is completed in August.
Credit-default swaps on BP rose 36 basis points to a record 136, according to CMA DataVision. BP may break up or become a takeover target, London-based investment bank Arbuthnot Securities Ltd. said.
"There has been much speculation regarding both Tony Hayward's future at the company and the possibility of the dividend being cut," Arbuthnot analyst Dougie Youngson said in a note today. "The situation is beyond both of these points and the key question is now 'can BP survive?'"
Saipem, CGGVeritas
Saipem SpA slid 3.2 percent to 24.73 euros as Europe's biggest provider of oilfield services by market value was downgraded to "neutral" from "add" at Evolution Securities Ltd. CGGVeritas, the world's largest seismic surveyor of oilfields, sank 3.6 percent to 17.43 euros, the lowest close since February.
Boliden, a Swedish copper and zinc miner, slid 1.4 percent to 93.20 kronor as base metals declined on concern about the outlook for demand in China. BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's biggest mining company, fell 2 percent to 1,874.5 pence.
Rio Tinto Group retreated 1.2 percent to 3,152 pence. The third-largest mine operator said it's paying its "fair share" of Australian taxes after Prime Minister Kevin Rudd vowed to push ahead with plans to impose a 40 percent levy on profits.
Prudential surged 6.3 percent to 575.5 pence, the highest close since April. AIG rejected a request from the U.K.'s largest insurer to cut the price of its $35.5 billion offer for AIA Group Ltd., fueling speculation the takeover won't go ahead.
Prudential was seeking to lower the price to $30.4 billion, the London-based company said today. New York-based AIG said it "will adhere to the original terms of its previously announced agreement with Prudential."
'Dead Deal'
"It's a dead deal," said Paul Mumford, who helps oversee about $600 million including Prudential shares at Cavendish Asset Management Ltd. in London. "The Pru will have to pull back gracefully now. It was a very costly mistake."
Ryanair gained 4.4 percent to 3.53 euros after posting net income in the 12 months through March 31 of 305 million euros ($375 million), compared with a net loss of 169 million euros a year earlier. The carrier said it plans to pay a special dividend of 500 million euros in October, its first payment to shareholders since the company sold stock in 1997.

Downed branch sparks power outage in Oak Harbor
A tree branch caused more than 1,000 homes on North Whidbey Island to lose power Tuesday night.
At approximately 8:55 p.m., a tree branch fell into power lines near Crosby Avenue, said Dorothy Bracken, spokeswoman for Puget Sound Energy. The falling branch caused a surge, which forced a nearby transformer to "pop."
That sound prompted reports of a transformer exploding near the intersection of NW Key Street and NW Crosby Avenue.
The Tuesday evening incident knocked out power to 1,276 Puget Sound Energy customers.
Work crews removed the tree branch by 9:20 p.m. and power was restored at 10:07 p.m., Bracken said. She noted the Oak Harbor power outage was the only significant outage on Whidbey Island Tuesday night.

Plosser Sees Need for Fed to Be Clearer About Policy Shifts
Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia President Charles Plosser said the Fed can promote its credibility and independence by being clearer about how it adjusts policy according to changes in the economy.
The Federal Open Market Committee has sought for years to improve transparency, most recently in January by setting an inflation goal of 2 percent and publishing the interest rate projections for participants on the policy-making panel.
"The steps taken in January are important steps forward for the FOMC, but more can and should be done," said Plosser, a member of Chairman Ben S. Bernanke's working group on communications.
Policy makers last month repeated their outlook for an "exceptionally low" federal funds rate through late 2014. At an April 24-25 meeting FOMC participants plan to update their forecasts for inflation, employment and growth.
"The committee's description of how policy will be conducted is not entirely clear," Plosser said. The Fed should aim to follow a "systematic" policy rule whereby changes in the economy prompt predictable responses by the central bank.
"The better the public and the markets understand how policy is likely to be adjusted as the economy changes, the more predictable policy becomes, Plosser said to the National Economists Club in Washington. Transparency promotes price stability and better economic outcomes, he said.
Pushing Down Unemployment
Plosser, who didn't comment extensively on the Fed's policy stance, said the economy will probably expand 3 percent this year, with growth gradually pushing down the unemployment rate.
Under such conditions, he said, further bond purchases by the central bank wouldn't have "a lot of coherence" with past Fed actions. The central bank launched a second round of quantitative easing in November 2010 at a time when the unemployment rate was 10 percent and the personal consumption expenditures price index was 1.2 percent.
The gauge rose 2.3 percent for the 12 months ended in February. The unemployment rate fell to 8.2 percent in March from 8.3 percent in February.
The Philadelphia Fed chief said FOMC participants probably aren't ready to adopt a policy rule. Still, they could probably agree on which economic variables merit the largest policy response, he said. For example, policy could react aggressively to deviations in inflation, and less so to deviations in output based on estimates of potential.
The FOMC could also improve communications by publishing a quarterly monetary policy report, said Plosser, a non-voting member of the committee this year.
Fed Vice Chairman Janet Yellen, and New York Fed President William Dudley this week endorsed the central bank's view that borrowing costs are likely to stay low through late 2014 as the Fed misses its goal for full employment and inflation remains in check. Yellen and Dudley have voting power on the FOMC.

Outcast Gladiators Find a Home: New York
By DAN BARRY
Published: January 15, 1997
A little more than a year ago, city and state officials found a certain style of fighting competition so offensive that they blocked its promoters from holding a match in New York City. Human cockfights, they called it. Blood sport.
But the competition, known as ultimate or extreme fighting, is back, and this time its practitioners are protected by more than just mouth guards. While at least two states have banned the sport as too brutal and others have debated similar measures, New York has become the first state in the nation to sanction it legally. The first matches are to be held in Niagara Falls next month and in Manhattan in March.
The new law lends much-needed credibility to the fledgling sport, said Donald Zuckerman, a promoter for extreme fighting who only 14 months ago was forced to abandon plans for a match in New York City. ''We were cognizant of the fact that if this sport was going to exist in America, we had to be socially acceptable to athletic commissions in different states,'' Mr. Zuckerman said, ''with New York being the marquee state.''
In extreme fighting, two combatants climb into an octagonal ring and do whatever they can -- absent biting and eye gouging -- to send each other into unconsciousness or submission. They kick, they punch, they grapple, often on mats that quickly become slick with sweat and blood. Most matches end, promoters say, when a participant signals defeat by tapping three times on the mat.
In making the transition from banishment to acceptance in less than a year, the sport overcame the strong opposition of Gov. George E. Pataki and State Senator Roy M. Goodman of Manhattan. Both men had been instrumental in blocking plans for an extreme fighting match in Brooklyn in late 1995, and both subsequently proposed bills to ban the competitions outright.
But the promoters prevailed. In October, Governor Pataki reluctantly signed into law a bill to legalize ''combative sports'' and place them under the regulatory umbrella of the State Athletic Commission. His aides said the Governor could not counter the support that extreme fighting received in the Legislature; its members would easily have summoned the votes to override any veto.
''The Legislature basically said they would not adopt our bill'' to ban extreme fighting, Zenia Mucha, the Governor's communications director, said. ''The alternative was having nothing done last session or at least putting together something to regulate the industry. The Governor finds this competition revolting and does not consider it a sport. We are going to reintroduce our bill, and we are going to keep doing it until we hopefully get it banned.''
The base of support for extreme fighting in the Legislature could not be easily determined. A spokesman for Joseph L. Bruno, the Senate majority leader and a Republican, said the leadership had simply decided to see how the sport would fare under regulation. And a spokeswoman for Sheldon Silver, the Assembly Speaker and a Democrat, said the law was the result of ''the normal give-and-take in the Legislature.''
Senator Goodman wound up sponsoring the measure to regulate the sport after his proposed ban failed to win support.
''He still wanted to do a ban,'' said his spokeswoman, Kathy Lenhart. ''But there's a lot of people who just don't think that it's all that bad of a deal -- that boys will be boys.''
The promoters of the competitions say there is no great mystery to why the legislation passed. Although they acknowledge that some lobbying pressure was brought to bear, they say their success stems from fairness and logic. Since the sport first appeared in the United States several years ago, they say, no one has been killed or seriously hurt -- a record unmatched by the sanctioned sports of boxing, football and car racing.
''It's nice for a citizen to see that elected officials really do listen,'' said Robert Meyrowitz, president of SEG Sports Corporation, which stages the Ultimate Fighting Championships. ''They saw the sport was far safer than they thought, and that our medical requirements were at least equal to, and in some cases even exceeded, the very stringent code that New York State has set up for wrestling and boxing.''
Mr. Meyrowitz's company is producing matches on Feb. 7 at the Niagara Falls Civic Center. At the top of the card is a contest between two former Olympic wrestlers: Mark (The Hammer) Coleman and Dan (The Beast) Severn.
And Mr. Zuckerman's company, Battlecade Inc., has begun to advertise an extreme fighting tournament on March 28 at a site in Manhattan that has yet to be determined. Mr. Zuckerman said the competitors would include two American Olympic gold medalists.
The legitimacy Mr. Zuckerman now enjoys eluded him in his first attempt to bring extreme fighting to New York. After he announced plans in November 1995 to stage a match in the Park Slope Armory in Brooklyn, public officials scrambled to educate themselves about the sport.
The competitions have become increasingly popular, and lucrative, through pay-per-view television. But they remain controversial within the broadcast industry; Cablevision Systems Corporation, for example, refuses to broadcast the matches.

Who wins? Study of long-run trader survival in an artificial stock market
We introduce a multi-asset artificial financial market with finite amount of cash and number of stocks. The background trading is characterized by a random trading strategy constrained by the finiteness of resources and by market volatility. Stock price processes exhibit volatility clustering, fat-tailed distribution of returns and reversion to the mean. Three active trading strategies have been introduced and studied in two different market conditions: steady market and growing market with asset inflation. We show that the profitability of each strategy depends both on the periodicity of portfolio reallocation and on the market condition. The best performing strategy is the one that exploits the mean reversion characteristic of asset price processes.

We study a fundamental tradeoff issue in designing a distributed hash table (DHT) in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks: the size of the routing table versus the network diameter. Observing that existing DHT schemes have either 1) a routing table size and network diameter both of O(log2n), or 2) a routing table of size d and network diameter of O(n1d/), S. Ratnasamy et al. (2001) asked whether this represents the best asymptotic "state-efficiency" tradeoffs. We show that some straightforward routing algorithms achieve better asymptotic tradeoffs. However, such algorithms all cause severe congestion on certain network nodes, which is undesirable in a P2P network. We rigorously define the notion of "congestion" and conjecture that the above tradeoffs are asymptotically optimal for a congestion-free network. The answer to this conjecture is negative in the strict sense. However, it becomes positive if the routing algorithm is required to eliminate congestion in a "natural" way by being uniform. We also prove that the tradeoffs are asymptotically optimal for uniform algorithms. Furthermore, for uniform algorithms, we find that the routing table size of O(log2n) is a magic threshold point that separates two different "state-efficiency" regions. Our third result is to study the exact (instead of asymptotic) optimal tradeoffs for uniform algorithms. We propose a new routing algorithm that reduces the routing table size and the network diameter of Chord both by 21.4% without introducing any other protocol overhead, based on a novel number-theory technique. Our final result is to present Ulysses, a congestion-free nonuniform algorithm that achieves a better asymptotic "state-efficiency" tradeoff than existing schemes in the probabilistic sense, even under dynamic node joins/leaves.

This is a great deal and better to buy your own blanket rather than rent them since they may be dirty and full of germs. My only suggestion is to consider the bigger 72"x80" blanket at $4.99 when it is on sale. This is 50% off the regular price which is an even better deal than this blanket and price since you get so much more blanket for just pennies more.

Perfect for camping and to use as a pad when working on the car on concrete. JUST DON"T DRY them in the dryer. Filled my dryer with Fluffy junk and burned out the High temp thermostat on my dryer. Now it's gonna cost me $78.00 to fix my dryer. Wish I had checked the reviews before I washed these blankets.

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Sturdy materials make this product hard to rip. Provides sufficient protection when moving. Make sure to dry them out if they get wet to prevent mold. For the cheap price this was a no brainier purchase.

Moving blankets
By Mountain goat
from Littleton, CO
Recently bought several moving blankets in different sizes. 40 X 72 and 72 X 80. They are versatile, well priced, and have a lot of uses around a dog kennel. Durability is excellent. When they get soiled, throw them in an industrial sized washing machine (although I have done a few in a regular washer ) and they're ready to go again.

By Mark
from Ozark, AL
I have bought many of these moving blankets of each size. I keep a larger one, still in the bag, in the trunk of each of my cars for emergency use. Lay it on the ground to keep clean while you change a tire. Use it as an insulating blanket for greater warmth. Lay it on the cold/wet sports bleacher to keep you warm and dry. Line the back seat of your car to keep your interior clean from spills or animal hair. Use it as a picnic blanket. They can be washed and reused too. I hear they can also be used as moving blankets. Who knew?

Texas Tech started to get nervous last spring with the prospect of losing assistant Pat Knight once he started interviewing for jobs.
So, according to Pat Knight, they approached him about being his father's successor.
Knight interviewed at Fresno State and New Mexico State. He withdrew for both and might not have landed either gig based on who was hired at each place -- Fresno native Steve Cleveland of BYU at Fresno State and Hollywood actor and Rick Pitino assistant at Louisville in Reggie Theus at New Mexico State.
"[Texas Tech athletic director] Gerald Myers called me in and said they didn't want me to leave, they wanted me to be the next coach," Pat Knight said Saturday night, shortly after the school had officially announced he would succeed his father whenever Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight retires.
"I signed the contract a few weeks ago and we were just waiting for the Board of Regents to pass it," said Pat Knight, 35. Knight said he signed a five-year contract, which would start whenever he takes over as head coach. "I've known since the spring that this was going to be done.
"This feels great since going after jobs has been a tough process with headhunters and people who aren't into sports, let alone basketball, making decisions," Knight said. "I wasn't sure if I wanted to follow my dad, but to have my first job following my dad in the Big 12 is different."
So is Knight's involvement in Lubbock versus Indiana. Sure, Knight played for his father at IU, but he wasn't invested in the program as much as he is at Texas Tech. Bob Knight built a national power at Indiana. Pat helped turn Texas Tech into a Sweet 16 team last season, recruiting the players, developing them and working hand and hand with his father in creating a Big 12 contender.
"I've been involved in this from the ground up, I wasn't at Indiana, that's why it makes more sense to follow him here," Knight said.
Knight said the uncertainty over a successor had just recently started to be an issue in recruiting. But since Pat and Bob Knight knew the succession plan this summer they have used it in recruiting and Pat Knight said it is already helping.
"As coach Myers told us, now the kids know who will be the next coach and that the philosophy and the system won't change," Knight said.
Knight said the Sutton succession plan at Oklahoma State where Sean has already been chosen as the head coach designate for his father Eddie helped make the decision for Texas Tech. Knight said he sees similarities with Tech and OSU and now he and his good friend Sean Sutton can foster a friendly rivalry for years to come.
When will each take over? Sean is more likely going to get the gig sooner with Eddie probably leaving after this season or next. As for Bob Knight's departure, it won't be at least until Knight passes Dean Smith as the all-time winningest head coach, according to Pat Knight. Bob Knight (854) is 26 wins shy of breaking Smith's all-time record of 879.
"I know he wants the record for sure, after that I don't know," Pat Knight said. "He now knows that I'm going to take over so he can relax. This actually might add a few more years for him.
"I'm hoping he could go three or four more."
Bob Knight is under contract through the 2008-09 season, four more seasons.
Pat Knight discounted any rumors of his father going anywhere else, say Cincinnati.
"He's got it made here," Pat Knight said. "We're both set now. He has built a great house here and now he can stay here. He said he would make this his home base once he retires but if I weren't the next coach that might not have been the case.
"I'm not looking to get my old man out," Pat Knight said. "But I think he can relax more instead of being here all the time. He needs his time away to do his fishing and hunting. He'll be 65 in October, his health is good but it will get to a point where he'll wonder how much more he wants to accomplish. There are some places he'd like to fish in South America and Africa that he can't because when it's their summer it's our winter [during basketball season]. We've got the continuity in place now. This has worked out really well."

Shorting is good. This is a free society, not an Orwellian nightmare, unless you're a conspiracy loon.However, yes, naked short selling is not right. I't out and out cheating. Legitimate shorting keeps the market on an even keel, otherwise all you'd have is pump and dump schemes up the wazoo. Except they would be pump, pump and pump some more, then dump on the suckers.

Australian Manufacturing Shrank in April on Record Currency
Australian manufacturing contracted in April for the seventh time in eight months as a record-high currency and consumer caution hurt textile and other producers, a private report showed.
The manufacturing index was 48.4 in April from 47.9 a month earlier, the Australian Industry Group and PricewaterhouseCoopers said in a survey released in Canberra today. A number below 50 indicates contraction.
The nation's factories are lagging behind the mining industry, which is expanding to meet Chinese demand for raw materials and pushing the job market near a level the government views as full employment. The Australian currency's 19 percent gain against the U.S. dollar in the past year has hurt export competitiveness.
"The continued weakness of the Australian PMI reflects consumer caution and the substantial erosion in the competitiveness of the industry related to the volatile and rising dollar," Heather Ridout, chief executive officer of the industry group, said in a statement. "The uncertainty of how this will evolve is the essence of the pressures on the industry."
Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Glenn Stevens is likely to leave the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.75 percent tomorrow for a fifth straight meeting, according to a Bloomberg News survey of economists.
Budget Release
The strength of the local dollar is allowing Stevens to hold off on rate increases. The currency touched a record $1.1011 today, the highest since it was freely floated in 1983.
Next week's federal budget needs to address the challenges facing manufacturers, Ridout said.
"There is clearly a requirement for more proactive policies to build productivity in manufacturing through investments in workforce development; energy efficiency; the exploration of export opportunities" and research-and-development, she said.
The index's reading on wages rose 2.9 points to 60.1 and inventories advanced 1.9 points to 49.3, today's report showed. Supplier deliveries climbed 1.7 points to 48.3.
A gauge of employment rose 1.3 points to 45 in April, and new orders declined 2.7 points to 46.4, the report showed. The production measure advanced 2.4 points to 53.3.
The manufacturing survey, which is similar to the U.S. ISM index, polled more than 200 companies about production, new orders, deliveries, inventories and employment.

I saw another topic with the same issue but it was closed so wanted to make sure this was seen.
I received the same malware issue today from my host which occurred hours after updating to the new version. My company has since removed the malware but now see my site has a new update pending for this new version of wpematico once again so think they rolled it back to the last version. I am very hesitant to update it as it sounds like there is a vulnerability with the new version.

Throughout the last 8 weeks of working at Asian Media Access. I have learned many things, such as Tobacco prevention, drug prevention, alcohol prevention, and also about complete street. I really enjoy working at AMA for being in the STEP-UP program for the first time. I learned how to use photoshop, plus making postcard and making facts sheets. I also kind of learned about making film. There are many things that I liked about working at AMA. Something things that I liked about working at AMA was the field trip, the project, and making new friends along the way. One thing that I wanted to learn more about was Film making because it looked really fun. I think that the field trip is a very great ideas to have while working because it will be boring just sitting and staying at one place. I think that AMA is a super cool job to have for my first year of working in the summer.
Creative works that consist of mostly writing such as poems and short stories.

Hi everyone! Hoping everyone is doing great out there. My group topic this week is teenager pregnancy. Today, we basically did some research about this topic. I found out that teenage pregnancy can affect many factors such as the communities, families, yourself and your child. There are a lot of cons from teenager pregnancy. I would really love to encourage them not to follow that path to despair. However, I am proud to those teens who are able to survive through the struggles. They are able to carrying on thanks to the support from there families and programs to help guide them to a healthy relationship. Thank you!
Hi everyone! Today, talking on air was fine. I feel like my voice seem kind of mumbled. My throat also feel very dry; water did not help. After lunch, my group did a power walk around the neighborhood. The weather is humid today. However, the power walk did relax my mind. Victoria assign us to do the " I am". Basically, I write one weakness and convert it into a strength. Today I will be helping out with the one hour Hmong radio talk again. Thank you!
Hi everyone. I am Kong Pang Vang, a Step_Up intern at Asian Media Access. This week, my group topic is substance abuse. I am at Hmong International Academy to do my research with my group. Every time when we receive our new topic, we usually gather at an area to discuss and brainstorm about what we going to talk for each section. We normally split the topic into six section. This took us less than thirty minute to made our finally decision about our overall section. While in our discussion, Stephen came in and talk about adding ghost stories. Everyone seem excited and anticipating about adding ghost stories into our two hour radio talk. Everyone got a little bit off task but was able to come back to do their research on the given topic. I have faith that my group will perform well this upcoming Thursday at the Radio Station. Good luck to myself and thank you.
Hi everyone, hoping you guys are doing great out there. My day went well today. I can feel that I really improve from the first week from all those experiences at the Radio Station. We interview Victoria about music in the community and some of her experiences. Victoria give out a lot of great experiences she went through. I had fun talking and learning from Victoria. I hope her a great successful future. My group perform fantastic today. Surprisingly, Stephen told us to do an one hour Hmong radio. I volunteer to do it. I feel relief and great after finishing with that Hmong radio talking. Today was entertaining to be able to talk in my own language in the radio. I had great experiences with my communication skills through Asian Media Access. Thank you.
This is my third day at the radio station! Today was the strongest day or the most powerful we've ever been from the days we've been in the radio station! We had a strong conversation on music when we spoke on air and it was fantastic! I feel like today was a great day because there wasn't much we had to do after the radio show other than work on our PSA. We had a nice walk outside because it wasn't very sunny until we were near the end of the walk, so I didn't sweat at all. I feel like today was one of the most fun days at the radio station, and that I look forward to working with my coworkers until the end of the internship!
This is my third day at HIA, and I'm starting to get used to it now. I'm starting to get used to the researching and discussions with my group members, and it's all going very well. Single parenting is the topic this week for Group A, and it's a really hard topic because none of us can relate to single parenting because we've never experienced it. Researching was really tiring, but the day was very chill. I did research on how single parenting affected children, but it was difficult because research isn't the most fun thing to do in the world, especially when you are researching about a topic you never thought of or aren't familiar with. Other than that, it wasn't a bad day because nothing frustrating happened!
Hi, hoping everyone is having a great day. Today is June 30th and my group got a new topic this week about music in the community. Base on what I know, we are going to interview Victoria for the first hour. The second hour can be any topic we want to talk about. My group decided to talk about music related things for that second hour. I did some basic research on anything I am curious about and brainstorm about what I am going to say. I made at least sixteen questions for the interviewing with Victoria. I am exciting to see how this week is going to flow. Thank you.
Hi, I am Kong Pang Vang an intern at Asian Media Access. Today is June 26 and I am at the Radio Station having a conversation with Project Sweetie Pie's intern and Michael, the founder. Including, David from CDC and Maya from Asian Media Access. I was the host for today and I feel confident. I was less anxious than last week. I can see myself improving. Today I have a lots of fun to be able to have the opportunities to talk with professional and interns with Step_Up Program. Thank you!
Today Wednesday June, 23 we learned about film making with Mr. Chou. He showed us a very beneficial presentation about film making and I learned things I've never known before like how an image is not really moving and how lighting is very critical in film making. We also worked with adobe photo-shop and created some cool flyers. We did flyers on health and obesity awareness. We are using those concepts because we believe obesity is a very big problem in our society today and we wish to have everyone informed about the risks and dangers that come with that one dangerous "donut" that implements more harm than you think it does.

Holiday Giving Opens Self-Storage Facilities to Rewarding PossibilitiesGuest blogger Gina Six Kudo rings in the holiday season with a discussion about charitable work and the intrinsic rewards holiday fundraisers can provide self-storage facilities. Although there are many ways operators can make a difference in their communities, they first have to open themselves up to the possibilities.

The types of holiday-themed marketing strategies you implement at your facility tell the community a lot about your business. Check out some examples of what fellow operators are doing this spooky season.
Getting Your Arms Around the World of Self-StorageDecades ago, it was rare to see self-storage facilities outside the United States. Now the industry is blossoming in regions worldwide and being embraced by investors and consumers alike. It's marvelous to watch the business spread into previously untouched markets, opening doors and changing lives. Learn more about where the industry is thriving, the impediments being faced, and what's on the horizon.

PARIS — The leaders of the 27 countries that make up the European Union are to meet in Brussels on Wednesday to try and find a way to keep the debt crisis in Europe from spiraling out of control and promote jobs and growth.
On Tuesday the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development warned that the 17 countries that use the euro risk falling into a "severe recession." It called on governments and Europe's central bank to act quickly to keep the slowdown from dragging down the global economy.
The electoral turmoil in Greece threatens to pull apart the eurozone. Borrowing costs are up for the most indebted governments. There is an increasing number of reports of worried savers and investors pulling funds out of banks that are seen as weak. Meanwhile, unemployment is soaring as recession grips nearly half the eurozone countries.
However, switching the conversation from slashing budgets to promoting growth won't be easy. And actually producing growth will be even harder.
For the past few years, fiscal austerity was all anyone ever talked about in Europe. That had a certain logic since governments were facing rising borrowing costs on bond markets, a sign investors are nervous about the size of their ballooning deficits. Austerity was intended to address this nervousness by reducing a government's borrowing needs. For the people of Europe, austerity meant layoffs and pay cuts for state workers, scaled-back spending on welfare and social programs, and higher taxes and fees to boost government revenue.
At the height of the debt crisis last winter, the eurozone — led by Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel — proposed a so-called "fiscal pact" that would tie member countries to strict fiscal and deficit targets.
But, as many economists had predicted, austerity has dragged down already fragile economies and, as economic output shrinks, the debt burden actually looks worse.
As a way out of this problem, economists and politicians have called for measures that would help a country's economy grow. France's new Socialist President, Francois Hollande, has led the charge, insisting during his campaign that he would not sign Europe's fiscal pact until it includes measures to promote growth.
Economists recommend pro-growth measures including reducing red tape for small businesses, making it easier for workers to find jobs across the eurozone and breaking down barriers that countries have created to protect their own industries. Some economists go a step further and say governments should actually increase spending while economies are so weak — and make reining in deficits a longer-term goal
However the question of how to produce growth for Europe is a sticky one. Germany, which led the push for austerity, insists that growth will be the product of tough reforms, like ones it undertook to liberalize its economy over a decade ago. Others say such reforms will take a while to bear fruit and more needs to be done right now — such as extending the deadline for deficit targets and waving through wage increases.
Leaders at Wednesday's summit — like the heads of the world's leading economies at the G-8 meeting at Camp David last weekend — are expected to tread a fine line between talking about ways to promote growth and sticking to commitments to balancing budgets.
So where will the money to boost growth come from? One area could be the better use of the resources already at the European Union's disposal. The EU has a pot of so-called "structural funds", many of which are going unused even though several countries are in desperate need of cash. Putting those to use will be one topic Wednesday. Countries are also expected to discuss increasing the size of the European Investment Bank so that it can, in turn, lend more money to struggling small businesses.

I have always heard that colon cleansing was an important thing to do but, there are so many different ideas on what works and what doesn't that I have never tried it because I didn't know what to do or who to follow. I really like an article by Dr. Axe that I will be outlining in this post. In it he describes some of the do's and don't's of colon cleaning and detoxing in general.
There is a saying that says, "Death Begins in the Colon". This is a statement that has been backed up by many coroners who have examined the colon during autopsies to discover extreme toxicity and disease. Americans spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year on medicines and laxatives to treat constipation (which Dr. Axe says "accounts for more that 2 million doctor visits a year"), and other toxic colon conditions. The problem with many of these products and medicines is that they most often make the condition worse in the long run.
The American Cancer Society has stated that, 569,490 Americans will die of cancer in 2015. That translate into a little more that 1,500 people a day! That number has been increasing every year and is not likely to start decreasing any time soon. We live in a world and country that has the most advanced medical care anywhere in the whole world, yet, there are more people than ever suffering from life threatening conditions like cancer, heart disease, and others.
In his article, Dr. Axe lists off a few of the most common signs and symptoms that your body is toxic and is crying for a detox.
Symptoms that you need to Detox your Body:
- Constipation
- Skin problems
- Gas
- Irritability, mood swings

In 365 days international cricket's showpiece event will
return to New Zealand for the first time since Martin Crowe's
heroics and tactical nous took New Zealand to within a sniff
of the final in 1992.
The University Oval will host three matches and yesterday,
despite the rain and cold wind, about 40 people gathered to
watch the unveiling of the countdown clock in the Octagon.
Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull joked before the unveiling that he
had requested council staff to put good weather in the diary
for a year's time - ''God knows what it's going to do to the
While not an ''avid fan'' of cricket himself, Mr Cull said he
was nonetheless looking forward to what the event ''brings to
the city''.
''There's the obvious economic benefit of visitors, but it's
the ability of Dunedin to have access to top-class cricket
players,'' Mr Cull said.
Otago Cricket chief executive Ross Dykes said preparation for
the event was going well.
New Zealand plays Scotland in Dunedin's first match of the
contest on February 17.
It was fitting New Zealand would play the Scots in the
Edinburgh of the South, Mr Dykes said.
''It's quite a nice touch,'' he said.
''Whoever played New Zealand in Dunedin, it would have been a
feature match, but it's quite appropriate.''
In Dunedin's other matches, Sri Lanka will play Afghanistan
on February 22 and Afghanistan and Scotland will meet on
February 26.
The countdown clock is on display in the council's Civic
Centre Plaza.

In my entry criteria, I look for great stocks with sustainable dividend payout, long histories of dividend growth and strong competitive advantages. I also have a minimum entry yield of 2.5%. There come times however, when the company I own keeps increasing its earnings and dividends, but the stock price rises faster than fundamentals. As a result, while my yield on cost is attractive, my current yield is less than my entry criteria.
For example, my yield on cost on W.W.Grainger (GWW) is 4%, whereas the current yield is 1.60%. My yield on cost on Family Dollar (FDO) is 3.40%, while the current yield is 1.20%. My yield on cost on Higham Institution for Savings (HIFS) is 3.60%, while the current yield is 2.20%.
The common characteristic behind these three positions is that each has delivered solid capital gains since my initial purchase.
Some investors question whether owning these stocks would make sense, given the low current yields that they are exhibiting. Replacing my positions in W.W.Grainger and Family Dollar with stocks which yield 3% currently would provide an almost doubling of my dividend income from each position.
This would be a mistake however, since nothing has fundamentally changed with these businesses. In addition, both companies have excellent growth prospects ahead of them, which will likely lead to further increases in earnings, dividends and stock prices over time. Stocks can deliver low current yields, even while the underlying business keeps growing. This will lead to a higher dividend income stream coupled with a solid potential for capital appreciation.
For example, current yields on certain quality stocks such as Procter & Gamble (PG) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Abbott (ABT) were low during the last few years of the 1990's bull market. Investors who sold and purchased higher yielding shares would have most probably missed on the upside potential for both capital gains and dividend income. While adding to position which are overvalued might not be the best idea, holding onto these positions might be perfectly appropriate.
As a dividend investor, I expect to hold my holdings for as long as possible. This is until one of my exit rules kick in. I expect that at least several of my long term portfolio holdings will generate total returns of several hundred percent over the next decades. This will compensate for the ones that cut dividends or get bought out for example. By selling stocks simply because the current yield is low, I might risk reducing my long-term returns.
In addition, I am not a big fan of chasing yield. If I were actively replacing my income stocks with higher yielding ones, this would increase the risk to dividend income, as most higher yielding stocks have higher payout ratios. In addition, most of the higher yielding securities come from a concentrated number of sectors.

Who knew Will Smith's offspring could save this summer's box office numbers? For weeks, highly-anticipated flims and sequels have disappointed at theaters. Then comes along a pint-sized 12-year old kid and propels the box office to 11 percent up from last years weekend frame.
In the battle of the 80's remake, "The Karate Kid" dominated "The A-Team". The karate flick scored an estimated $56 million and earned an A grade from exit audiences, while the male-target "A-Team" scored less than half that with $26 million. Though not an awful start, it was beneath expectations given it's hot cast. Studio execs should take comfort that the film scored a solid B+ from audiences which will help the move in the coming weeks.
In third place was "Shrek Forever After" with another $15.8 million bringing it's cumulative totale to $210 million, which is solid but far below any of the other Shrek releases. R-rated comedy, "Get Him to the Greek" earned $10 million and the Ashton Kutcher-Katherine Heigl spy flick scored $8 million rounding out the top 5.
Here are the numbers from the Top Ten movies this week.
