- Alongside rallying emerging market equities is a comeback for their currencies as investors grow comfortable with the taper. Also at work is tighter monetary policy in the emerging markets - Turkey, South Africa, and Russia have all boosted rates this year, and Brazil is nearing the end of a year-long rate hike cycle.
- "The appeal of the carry trade has returned. Emergency measures by emerging market central banks have rendered yields much higher, and hence emerging market currencies are much more attractive to hold," says SocGen's Phoenix Kalen.

- In order to draw the necessary capital to pull emerging markets out of their swoon, real interest rates have to go higher, says Citigroup. A near-doubling of the benchmark rate in Turkey last week only pulled one-year borrowing costs up to 3.6%, less than half the average in the thee years prior to 2008. The real yield in Mexico (EWW) is about zero. In South Africa, it's 1.4% vs. 2% over the past decade.
- "When you have low real rates and try to finance your current-account deficits, it usually won't work," says Citi LatAm strategist Dirk Willer. "If the U.S. is repricing for higher rates, it's very difficult for you to get away with lower rates. South Africa (EZA) and Turkey (TUR) are not safe yet."

- The PMI edges higher to 50.8 in January from 50.5 previously, but New Orders jumped to an 11-month high of 52.4 (and from 50.7 previously). Output rose, but pace was the slowest since September.

- "International monetary cooperation has broken down," says India central bank boss Raghuram Rajan, a day after the Fed boosted the size of its taper and made no mention of melting-down emerging markets. Rajan joined counterparts from Turkey and South Africa this week in boosting rates to try and stem the slide in their domestic currencies.
- "The challenge is brought on by their own domestic policies," says former Fed Governor Randy Krosner. "It's unfair to say it's all the Fed's fault."
- Back in his IMF days in 2011, Rajan authored a report calling for the formation of a committee composed of representatives from the major central banks who would report on the spillover consequences of their individual policies. Good luck with that one.
- Emerging markets are getting a respite today amid a big rally in the West (of the West is rallying because of a respite in emerging markets).

- After a rough three year stretch, Brazilian stocks continue to have a tough time of it early in 2014, with the Bovespa off another 2.5% today and the EWZ is down 6% YTD. The real keeps sliding as well - down 10% vs. the dollar over the last 3 months.
- Of imminent concern is slowing growth and a ballooning budget deficit forcing a ratings downgrade - with analysts at both S&P and Moody's suggesting this week one could come later this year. "We don't have fixed limits…but if debt-to-GDP ratio gets closer to 65%," Brazil could be ripe for a credit-rating cut, says Moody's Mauro Leos (it's above 60% now). S&P meanwhile suggests the cut in the country's BBB rating could come ahead of the October presidential election.

- In Sept., Moody's changed Brazil's credit outlook to stable from positive, as persistent low growth interrupted improvement in several economic and fiscal indicators. One important ratio showing deterioration is Brazil's debt-to-GDP measure, which has been climbing towards the 60% mark and Moody's estimates it could reach 62% in 2014.
- The path debt-to-GDP takes will strongly influence Brazil's sovereign credit outlook. An important question to sovereign credit quality is whether authorities can restore conditions that will eventually lead to a declining trend in the debt ratio.
- Brazil has limited fiscal flexibility, given a rigid government spending structure and relatively heavy interest burden. The main challenge public finances face is the persistent increase of primary current spending.
- Protests in various cities around the country in 2013 expressed social discontent with the quality of government and with its ability to deliver public goods and services. However, Moody's does not expect upcoming elections to shift policies drastically given general consensus for preserving macroeconomic stability. Still, Moody's says Brazil faces political challenges related to difficulties in passing reforms necessary to remove structural obstacles that constrain the country's medium-term economic prospects.

- "Brazil's capital markets appear to be suffering from a sudden flight of capital," says Michael Shaoul, warning of a danger of "abrupt collapse in investor confidence ... Brazil should be watched closely in the days ahead."
- The Bovespa slid another 1.75% today, but more alarmingly, the country's 10-year yield spread (vs. the U.S.) shot to its highest level since the summer of 2009.
- This morning, Q3 GDP was reported to have contracted by 0.5%, worse than expectations. From Capital Economics: "Brazil is not particularly attractive to foreign firms ... Woefully low domestic savings mean that Brazil relies on attracting foreign capital in order to fund investment projects. But with the current account already in a significant deficit, there is little scope for running up an even larger external deficit to fund investment."
- Off 1.3% today, the iShares MSCI Brazil Index ETF (EWZ) is down 20% YTD.

- Brazil's Q3 GDP contracts 0.5%, missing estimates of a 0.3% contraction, and the worst performance since 2011 Q3. On a Y/Y basis, the economy grew 2.2%. The decline in Q3 was led by agriculture, which fell 3.5%. Investment also declined 2.2%.
- The news adds to complications for President Rousseff who is up for election next year. Her government has already slashed by nearly half its forecast for robust 4.5% growth in 2013.
- The central bank last week continued its rate-hike cycle, but gave indications a pause could be coming soon, and the slow GDP report is unlikely to change that view.

- Brazil's November PMI slips to 49.7 from 50.2 previously, the move into contraction territory led by New Orders which stayed below 50 for the 5th consecutive month.
- "The only good news was that the measures of inflation included in the PMI report also lost momentum: firms saw input prices rising at the slowest pace since June and output prices climbing at the weakest rate since May," says HSBC's Andre Loes.Brazil's central bank raised the Selic 50 basis points to 10% late last week - but a tweak to the statement has some economists predicting just one more rate hike for this monetary tightening cycle (the Selic was 7.25% in April).

- Fifty-one percent say they are pessimistic about the president's policies, up from 22% when she took office in January 2011, according to a Bloomberg survey. Only 10% say the country can avoid a credit rating downgrade in the next year. Compared to other major global markets, Brazil - says the survey - is expected to offer one of the worst opportunities over the next year.
- Moody's last month followed S&P in lowering it credit outlook on Brazil to stable from positive, citing the 59% debt-to-GDP ratio compared to 45% median for other countries with the same rating.
- The central bank has boosted the benchmark Selic rate by 225 basis points since April to 9.5%, and shows no sign of stopping this month.
- That's a lot of bad news and bad sentiment. In the meantime, the stock market has fallen and can't get up. EWZ is off 15% YTD and about 40% from 3 years ago (and down 0.4% premarket). Opportunity?

- Initiating cautious coverage on 8 Brazilian retail sector names (7 Holds, 1 Sell), Citigroup says multiples look expensive considering macroeconomic headwinds - among them rising inflation and interest rates coupled with a high level of consumer indebtedness.
- "Slower demand presents top-line risks for Brazilian retailers exposed to the mid- and lower-income segments. Moreover, inflation could push operating expenses up while rising interest rates pressure financial costs for leveraged companies."
- The central bank hiked the Selic for the 5th straight meeting last month and gave no indication it's going to break the string in November.Brazil ETFs: EWZ, BRF, BZF, BRXX, EWZS, BRAQ, BRAZ, BZQ, BRAF, UBR, BRZU, FBZ, BRZS, DBBR

- Taking advantage of the quick change in sentiment towards emerging markets in general and Brazil in particular, the Brazilian government today issued $3.2B in bond dues 2025. The paper was priced to yield 4.305%. About one billion of the total will be fresh cash for the government, the rest will pay off existing debt.
- With developed market interest rates on the rise this summer, few had interest in emerging market debt, but the last several weeks have seen the taper delayed, the nomination of Janet Yellen to lead the Fed, and a sharp drop in interest rates. With U.S. rates looking like they're staying lower for longer, emerging market yields - no matter the risk (Brazil's credit rating outlook was lowered from positive to stable by Moody's this month) - become more enticing.
- Also helping is a Brazilian central bank refocusing on inflation - it hiked its benchmark rate to 9.5% this month and gave every indication 10% is coming in November.

- It's the 5th consecutive rate hike for the central bank, which raised the benchmark Selic 50 basis points to 9.5%. No changes were made to the accompanying statement, implying #6 is coming at November's meeting.
- Economist consensus has rates at 9.75% by year's end, and many foresee double-digits in 2014. The most recent CPI data has annualized inflation at 5.86% - lower than a couple of months ago - but still well above the 4.5% marking the top end of the target level.

- Moody's cuts its outlook on Brazil's Baa2 credit rating to Stable from Positive, citing deterioration in key credit metrics, an economy unable to break out of a slow-growth phase, and "deterioration in reporting quality of the government accounts."
- The government's debt-to-GDP ratios and the country's investment-to-GDP ratios are weaker than those of sovereigns with just a Baa rating, says Moody's. "Even though there are signs that the Brazilian economy may be starting to recover, Moody's view is that, if and when the upturn materializes, it is unlikely that it will be strong enough to restore a positive trend in Brazil credit metrics, a condition necessary to merit a positive outlook on the country's sovereign rating."

I am a big fan of Camp Chef. I've used their stoves for years and each year I look forward to seeing what new ideas they have come up with. I own a lot of their products and would consider myself a "Camp Chef Junkie".
On a recent camping trip near the Green river in Wyoming I took along my arsenal of Camp Chef to help with the cooking.

Originally, it is supposed to be eaten with the cornbread, but we ate it with Doritos. Needless to say, we had full bellies and orange fingers!
For this one, you will need 2 skillets. Or a skillet and a

I found this recipe on the freezer meal planning site, Once a Month Mom. It looked too irresistible to pass up! I went and got an industrial sized package of blueberries and went to work! (Oh, in case you are wondering a pint of blueberries is just shy of 2 cups) These turned out really good…even without frosting.

Baked, Goat Cheese-stuffed Chicken Breast with Chargrilled Corn-On-The-Cob
This quick and easy recipe is ideal for dinner parties. The stuffing of goat cheese and the prosciutto wrap give the simple chicken breast additional textures and depth of flavour.
The cheese can be substituted for simple cheddar or Gruyère to create a really grown-up AND child-friendly feast! To make this myself, I used the Chilli Umami Paste instead of having to chop and deseed a chilli. Not only did the paste spice up the dish, but it was also much more convenient (and less painful if you happen to touch anywhere near your eyes) than having to use a fresh chilli.
Ingredients (Serves 2):
2 skinless free-range chicken breasts
50 g firm goat cheese, grated
1 hot red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped,
OR a teaspoon of Chilli Umami Paste
Small handful of fresh coriander, chopped
1 shallot, very finely chopped
2 large slices of prosciutto
Olive oil, for greasing
2 corn cobs
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Mixed salad, to serve
Cocktail sticksOvenproof frying pan
Ridged stovetop grill pan
Preheat the oven to 190C (375F) Gas 5.
Take a sharp knife and form a cavity in the side of the chicken breasts by cutting lengthways from one end to the other.
In a bowl, combine the cheese, chilli, coriander and shallot and mix well. Carefully stuff each chicken breast with the cheese mixture by pressing it into the chicken cavity with a teaspoon. Skewer the open side of each chicken breast with cocktail sticks to prevent the stuffing from escaping. Lightly season each chicken breast with salt and pepper, then wrap a slice of prosciutto around each one.
Lightly grease the ovenproof frying pan with olive oil and heat. Sear the chicken in the pan until golden brown on both sides. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and cook for 20–25 minutes or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked through.
A few minutes before the chicken has finished cooking, put the corn in a pan of boiling salted water, wait for the water to return to the boil, then cook for 2–3 minutes.
Preheat the ridged stovetop grill pan. Remove the corn from the pan and drain. Toss the corn in a tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper, ensuring that it is evenly coated. Lightly char the corn in the hot pan so that so it caramelizes a little.
When the chicken has finished cooking, let rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the chicken and corn with a mixed salad.
As an alternative, I also prepared the dish using cous cous instead of corn on the cob and stir fried some seasonal vegetables, which created a winter alternative to the recipe.
Recommended Chillies: Cayenne, Piccante di Cayenna, Ring of Fire, Long Slim.
This recipe has been taken from The Redhot Chilli Cookbook which was written by Dan May and published by Ryland Peters & Small. The book is available on Amazon, in Waterstones and all good independent bookshops priced at £16.99.

Charleston, S.C. – The Citadel wrestling team along with family and friends hosted a successful BBQ fundraiser on Wednesday to support associate head coach Jeff Ragan who is recovering from kidney transplant surgery last month.
More than 150 friends, co-workers and colleagues came out to support Ragan and enjoy a feast of barbeque chicken, potato salad and baked beans on the concourse at Johnson Hagood Stadium. The donations are being used to defray the medical costs associated with Ragan's April 4 surgery.
"On behalf of The Citadel wrestling team, family and friends, I would like to thank everyone for coming out to help today and support Jeff," said Bulldog head coach Rob Hjerling.
A husband and father of two, Ragan was an All-American wrestler at Oklahoma State and is also an adjunct math professor at The Citadel who runs the school's math lab and coordinates The Citadel's summer wrestling camp.
Ragan received a kidney from his brother, Brad, a former Bulldog wrestler and a 2006 graduate of The Citadel with a degree in civil engineering who is currently serving in the United States Air Force as a pilot with a rank of Captain.
Most recently, Ragan accepted an invitation by the National Kidney Foundation to share his story with doctors, nurses and kidney transplant patients on Sept. 13 in Columbia, S.C.
Check out the photos here!

RANDALL PARKER SHOOTOUT AT FIELDSTONEFieldstone Golf ClubGreenville, DelawareJune 28 - July 1, 2004
Hill and Granada Share Top Honors Entering Final RoundMay leads Boys Division with two-round total of 141
GREENVILLE, De. Nannette Hill of Pelham Manor, N.Y., and Julieta Granada of Asuncion, Paraguay, each carded a two-day total of 138 to share the top spot on the Girls Division leaderboard. Seventeen-year-old David May of Auburn, N.Y., shot a 4-under-par 67 to distance himself from the rest of the Boys Division following the second-round of the Randall Parker Shootout at Fieldstone.Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Randall Parker Shootout at Fieldstone features 84 players, 66 boys and 18 girls, ages 12-18 from 12 states and Paraguay. The 54-hole stroke play event has returned to the Fieldstone Golf Club after a one-year absence.Hill, who entered Wednesdays round with a two-stroke advantage, completed the day 1-over-par.I was a little more mentally tired so today didnt come as easily to me. I went into the round with the plan to end at least even-par, but the back nine was hard on me, Hill said. Im entering the final round with a conservative and smart approach.The newly-crowned Rolex Girls Junior Champion, Julieta Granata, also felt that her game was weaker today and looks forward to re-focusing for the final round.It was just not a good round for me. I was struggling on my first nine holes, but a birdie at the turn got me going again, said Granada. My putting was not very good but I held it together and ended up with five birdies. I am going to be more patient tomorrow and focus on my own gamenot the other girls.In third place behind Hill and Granada is Maryland native Stephanie Connelly of Pasadena, with a 144 two-round total.May, the Boys Division leader, carded six birdies on his way to the low round of the day.I played very steady all day and hit 17 of the 18 greens, May said. The fast putting greens have been hard to get used to, but I managed to keep away from doubles and only had one 3-putt. Sitting just back of Hill in second place after shooting back-to-back 1-over-par 72s is Lion Kim of Lake Mary, Fla., at 144. Greg Carlin of Kensington, Md., is in third after carding a two-round total of 147. First-round leader Kyle Davis of Kennett Square, Pa., fellow Pennsylvania native Maxwell Wyndorf of Chadds Ford, and Ryan Heisey of New Bern, N.C., are tied in fourth place with two-round totals of 148.The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf.

Another addition to Redwood City's revitalized downtown, this affordable Asian fusion lunch and dinner spot also accommodates the local bar flies. – Southeast Asian dishes with spice levels set for American palates are served up in this modern, two-level dining room garnished with Chinese antiques and eye-catching eponymous red lanterns. Fast-paced diners make the short walk from Redwood City's center to stop in for low-priced lunch platters, while dinner tends to merit a longer family-style meal with friends, sampling entrees like wok-tossed beef tenderloin and lamb shank curry served with yogurt sauce. Tucked behind bamboo screens, a petrified wood counter serves as a bar turning out innovative cocktails and appetizers well into the night.
Interesting Mix of Flavors, People and Scenery – Small Plates with Big Flavors at this surprising new Downtown Redwood City spot. I recommend this place for the atmosphere service and quality food, especially the ingredients they are very fresh! It is not your typical Asian place; the chef mixes cuisines from Singapore, China, Thailand, Phillipenes, and way more! There aren't any really appetizers and main courses, everything is kinda the same size (like Tapas, but Asian) so I would recommend varying your dishes and sharing with friends. Cocktails and full menu also available at the bar if you don't want to wait for a table. It is kinda small so I recommend making reservations for a Friday or Saturday night. They do have a website too for more info.

We had a year on the Compact in 2007 and it was awesome for us! We need to have a no spend year, but I don't know how realistic that is for us ... so we're taking it on a month by month basis
We ditched cable for the $10 netflix sub instead and we use our library often (our library is pretty awesome). We don't eat out or go to concerts anymore and we don't do much else that costs money for entertainment, so that is our monthly "fun money" allotment. To us, it is worth it.
We do buy some books still, but we're homeschoolers so I really consider that a MUST (but I do my best to find them second-hand or to check the library first)
Basically, with a few exceptions here and there, the only things we can continue to purchase new are - Food, Health & saftey items, undies, and raw materials (like things for household repairs, or yarn, material, felt, etc for making our own clothing, toys, etc)
I'm sure this will be a fluid process for us and will probably look a little different every month ... it is a journey, after all, and a personal one at that, so while I doubt anyone's year looks exactly the same, it will be nice to have the comraderie for support and inspiration

Crusader Men Drop Road Finale at Detroit
Related Links
Friday, March 26, 2010
Valparaiso's men's tennis team wrapped up the road portion of the 2010 spring season on Friday evening, dropping a 7-0 decision to Detroit at Franklin Athletic Club in Southfield, Mich.
The Titans opened the match winning all three closely contested doubles matches. Patrick Troy and Nick Tolomei started with an 8-6 victory at number two doubles against Adam Whitmer (Shipshewana, Ind./Westview H.S.) and Chris Baum (Charlotte, N.C./Providence H.S.). Detroit (7-9, 1-3 Horizon) secured the point at number one as Pjotrs Necajevs and Christopher Cheung topped Tom Litscher (Eau Claire, Wis./Memorial H.S.) and Arne Diehle (Reutlingen, Germany/Johannes Kepler H.S.) by the score of 8-5. At third doubles, Alex Latosinsky and Csar Escobar Serrano downed Kevin DeHerrera (Littleton, Colo./Chatfield H.S.) and Kyle Stump (Plymouth, Ind./Plymouth H.S.) 8-5.
Valpo forced tie-breaks for the third set in two of the singles contests, but could not come away with the win. Latosinsky defeated Whitmer at the second spot 6-4, 2-6, 10-2 while Serrano beat Litscher 6-1, 2-6, 10-7 at the fourth spot. Necajevs topped Stump 6-2, 6-0 at the top of the order while Troy bested Baum 6-1, 6-4 at number three. Tolomei was a 6-2, 6-2 victor over Diehle at number five singles while Cheung rounded out the lineup with a 6-2, 7-6 (5) win over DeHerrera.
Valparaiso (2-10, 0-2) will begin a six-match homestand at the Valpo Tennis Complex next Friday afternoon as the Crusaders host Youngstown State. First serve is set for 1 p.m.

Editor's Letter
It's that time of year again Fall! You can feel the seasons changing and the air becoming a little crisper. We, here at Gulf Coast Bride, love this time of year and it seems as though so many of our brides do as well. Maybe it is the change in the color of the leaves or the enveloping ocean breeze from the Gulf that moves us and inspires us to embrace all that is beautiful and celebrate love during this season!
We, here at the magazine, are so excited to feature two amazing wedding venues in this issue Rosy's Jazz Hall in the Big Easy, as well as the gorgeous Grayt Grounds of Monet Monet in beautiful Grayton Beach, FL . Trust me these two amazing venues offer the perfect back drop and attention to detail for your dream day. Whether you want a more private garden ceremony and reception or a legendary event in a New Orleans landmark, these two amazing locations have it all!
Also, we thought it was important to provide new types of inspiration to our brides in honor of the changing of seasons, so we asked four awesome event planners, throughout the Gulf Coast region, to share with us some recent trends and details.
Finally, we realize that without our readers, advertisers, and most importantly brides, this magazine would not be possible. Therefore, we want to hear from you! Let us know what you think by visiting us on Facebook at Gulf Coast Bride Magazine! Also, feel free to fi nd us online at our newly updated website, www.gcbride. com . We hope you fi nd your true wedding inspiration!
Here's to Love!

Magic on Burnt House Lane
Any minute now," Rachel said, "something terrible is going to happen to us."
The area around Burnt House Lane was deserted at this time of night. The cracks in the pavement that Mae hardly noticed by day had turned into shadowy scars along the cement, tracing jagged paths that led into the dark of yet another dead-end alley. They peered down into the alley and made the silent mutual decision to walk on extremely fast. Mae was in the lead.
"Come on, this is an adventure."
Rachel muttered behind her, "I'm pretty sure that's what I... see more

Opposition is already beginning against Sen. John Dennis' bill to compel county commissioners to advertise expenditures. The opposition is made under the usual mark of economy. It is claimed this advertising will drag vast sums of money from the treasury and into the coffers of the newspapers. The object is to allow taxpayers to see each month where the money goes so John Doe can't slip a bill for $16 a cord of wood instead of $8. In some cases it will keep the county from extravagant waste of county money.

End Obesity in America? Not Likely Any Time Soon!
Published: May 10, 2012 at 3:59 pm
Are you overweight, obese or about 10-15 pounds above where you would like to see those vibrant digital numbers flash up on your scale when you hop on it in your naked glory before you get ready to make those pancakes you've been so longing to treat your family to? If you answered yes to any of these parameters, then you will be bored to hear that this month the anti-obesity establishment is unfolding a mega effort to attack your adipose (fat cells).
Beginning with the launch of the HBO program The Weight of the Nation which airs May 14th the anti-obeser institutions are coming out in full force. In upcoming weeks they are establishing a "nationwide community-based outreach campaign" against the fleshy rolls around your waist. Are you impressed that three influential public-health institutions, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health and the nonprofit Institute of Medicine have collaborated with HBO to create a documentary? According to producer John Hoffmann they've done this to "sound the alarm" and get the nation to act?
Act? How? Lose weight? Ha, ha, ha. Right. "FAT CHANCE," you say snarkily. Well, you might show a little appreciation that finally, there is a concerted, unprecedented effort by the federal government (CDC, NIH) to reign in the country's endemic obesity plague and the rapidly rising instances of childhood obesity and diabetes. We have to do something. Americans are now exporting their diet and the pandemic of fat is becoming a global phenomenon. The federal government and media have been forced by obese feeders to create a coalition to inform and persuade against the perniciousness of excessive weight gain. Hear the urgency underlying my tone?
Problem! There is a disconnect between this latest media and governmental development and what is occurring in the culture. As a cultural receptor, I've witnessed the "alarm sounding" for decades. The medical industrial complex since the 1950s through spokespersons like Dr. Spock recommended that mothers restrict their children's diets to prevent weight gain because it was unhealthful. The husky size for boys and the chubbette size for girls was a stigma purposely leveled to brand overweight as unappealing and unattractive in children. Mothers were discouraged from allowing their kids to overeat and be fat. After all weren't girls supposed to be attractive and thin to fit in and not be criticized, ridiculed and rejected? Weren't the boys supposed to be muscular and athletic not scrawny or overweight? Look at the comics of the day and peruse them for the "funny" character shapes and types for skinny and fat folks.Continued on the next page

Yet, America sits today as it did before December's Newtown, Conn., massacre: In desperate need of stronger gun-control laws that make it more difficult for nascent killers to gain access to weapons.
In a perfect world, Thursday's developments would move us a step closer to that finality. Search warrants released in Connecticut provided further proof that the Newtown shooter, Adam Lanza, was able to kill so many people at Sandy Hook Elementary School in part because of the number of high-capacity magazines he carried.
Among the search warrants' key points:
• Authorities recovered 154 spent .223-caliber shell casings at the scene, all fired in a five-minute shooting spree.
• Lanza had three 30-round magazines for his .223-caliber Bushmaster rifle.
• Lanza also had two magazines containing a total of 70 shells for a 12-gauge shotgun found in his car. (Authorities said the model of shotgun Lanza had can be fitted with multi-shell magazines.)
• Lanza apparently changed out magazines before entering each room at the school — even if there were rounds remaining in the previous magazine. That allowed him to shoot as many people as possible in the quickest amount of time.
In Washington, President Obama is urging Congress to act in a timely fashion to strengthen the nation's gun laws. A ban on assault-style weapons isn't likely to happen, Sen. Harry Reid, D-N.V., has told the Associated Press. What is possible is expanded requirements for federal background checks for gun buyers — though those checks, which apply to the nation's 55,000 federally licensed gun dealers, do not apply to online sales and gun shows.
It is our hope that the information in the Newtown search warrants — proof of the number of 30-round magazines Lanza had — will spur lawmakers to include bans on magazines that allow shooters to mow down large numbers of people in only a few minutes.
It is here that sport shooters and hunters try to defend their rights to have these high-capacity magazines. It's here, as well, that their arguments fail.
Protecting human life must take priority. Unless you're in the military or law enforcement, a high-capacity magazine serves one true purpose in today's America — to make it easier to kill lots of people. Newtown proved that.

Thank you, Margaret C., for partially sponsoring me! I now have such a special name: Angel!
Oh boy, lucky day! Thank you Connie L. of Victoria for sending me a donation. Your support is truly appreciated!
The story of the Alberta 36: At the end of May 2011, the World Parrot Refuge offered sanctuary to 36 parrots from Alberta. The birds arrived in terrible shape and in filthy cages. They likely hadn't been cleaned for months. The Refuge has never received so many birds in such poor condition at one time.
The birds came to us from a very sad situation in a supposed sanctuary. The woman died from Alzheimer's, and the man has Parkinson's. Apparently, according to a neighbour who phoned Wendy, the refuge received only 1/3 of the birds. The others didn't make it.
The birds have now all been medically checked, given vitamin shots, and are being fed a proper, varied diet. They are being kept apart from the rest of the flock while being watched to confirm that they are fit to be released into the common aviaries.
Needless to say, these birds need sponsors to support their care. If you want to Virtually Adopt one of the Alberta 36 or contribute to their care, you may do so in a few ways. Whether you can support the full virtual adoption of a bird for $42/month ($500/year); or join our "For the Birds Campaign" for $10/month; or send any amount that you can manage; we will be grateful for your help. The first person to sponsor each bird will have the honour of naming the bird, since they all arrived nameless.
I want to Virtually Adopt one of the Alberta 36!
Click on the 'Virtual Adoption' button below to proceed to our Virtual Adoption page, where you will be able to make a secure monthly or one-time donation, and nominate the parrot you wish to adopt. Please use the post title to identify a specific bird, until the parrots are named, e.g. "Alberta 36 #14″.

@Bacon - I started the muscle bunch too far up on the arm and the shirt... I don't even know why I did that. I'll fix it next time I draw a guy.
@JJJorgie - You're right. I should study proper long sword grips.
@Gedeon - I'm actually not too sure about that one. It's all under his hair, but his neck is about right in comparison to the original guidelines. I suppose I'd need to make the hair curve around the head to show that it's actually there.
Thirty minute color sketch in Sai. I think I could make this look pretty awesome if I finished it, but I'll take critiques and fix errors in the composition and coloring before I go any further.
-I could expand the canvas and move the two foreground characters into focus, for one thing.
-I could move any distracting elements in the background away and focus on the characters.
-I could push time forward and draw a fight scene rather than a boring standoff.

Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest reef system, comprised of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching over 2,600 kilometres (1,600 miles) over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometres (133,000 square miles).
This underwater botanical garden is one of the most diverse ecosystems on earth. It is a living home to over 6,600 species of marine plant and animal species including 1,500 species of fish, 4,000 species of molluscs and 360 types of coral.
Underwater, the Great Barrier Reef is the seemingly endless variety of corals, displaying every conceivable colour, shape and form. The gorgeous and positively gaudy fish and other marine animals that live among the coral reefs afford brilliant displays of multicoloured movement. Giant clams and small shells, starfish and sea cucumbers, anemones, turtles, eels, rays, sponges - there is just so much to see on the spectacular Great Barrier Reef. Learn more about the Great Barrier Reef.
Low Isles
Low Isles is a coral island located 15 km (8 nautical miles) off the coast of Port Douglas and is an ideal spot for an inner reef adventure, if you wish to travel only a short distance. There is an abundance of sea life and coral and is the home of a large population of turtles. Low Isles is made up of two islands, Woody Island an uninhabited coral/mangrove island and Low Island, a sandy coral cay typical of the Great Barrier Reef. Here you can come ashore, swim in the lagoon bay and see the active lighthouse. Low Isles has also been a research station since the late 1920's and is still the site of significant research for the Great Barrier Reef. Learn more about Low Isles.

ANGUS - The Township of Essa will be looking for the public's help in figuring out what can be done with the old Angus library building on Mill Street.
According to Mayor Terry Dowdall, council hopes a recent decision to put out a request for proposals will help them get a better sense of what could be done with the vacant building.
"Do we let someone purchase it, do we keep it, or do we make it into parkland, we just don't know at this point," Dowdall said.
The building was vacated when the library moved down the street to its new location at the high school about a year ago. Since then it's been used temporarily by a local church and the high school.
It's been proposed to use the building as a walk-in clinic. But because the property sits in a floodplain, this use has been ruled out for safety reasons.
The decision to put out the call for ideas comes after a recent staff request to move forward with roof repairs to the facility. Currently, a tarp is being used on the roof to keep water out of the building.
Dowdall said the repairs have been deferred and they will hold off on performing any fixes until the building's future is determined.
The property is zoned institutional but could be repurposed for public use, such as parkland, a trailhead or for transit needs.
The facility was built in 1967 back when it was called the Essa Centennial Library. An addition was built in 1994/1995.

By Phil WilliamsChief Investigative ReporterNASHVILLE, Tenn. - In a highly unusual move, the Metro Finance Department told Davidson County Clerk John Arriola's office Tuesday that it will no longer be allowed to make any purchases on its own.They even canceled Arriola's credit card.It follows a decision last week by the district attorney to ask the TBI to investigate and questions first raised by NewsChannel 5 Investigates."I've never seen this happen before in Metro," said NewsChannel 5 political analyst Pat Nolan.Under the Metro charter, the city's purchasing agent is ultimately responsibility for all purchases. But, for years, the city's elected officials have been allowed to handle their own purchases -- after they sign an agreement promising to follow all purchasing rules.In his letter, Metro purchasing agent Jeff Gossage writes to Arriola:
"In light of the recent press coverage and increased scrutiny of the County Clerk's office operations, I am exercising the authority to terminate the delegated purchasing authority granted to your office. This action is effective immediately. As part of this action, the credit cards issued to you and/or your staff have been canceled."Read the delegation of authority and the termination letter
Nolan said, "I think it's a sign of how seriously this administration takes what's going on and the need to make sure they are stepping in to take control of things so that, if they are problems, they don't continue -- or at least they don't continue without some oversight."Our NewsChannel 5 investigation first documented tens of thousands of dollars in questionable spending by Arriola's office, including a public relations contract where he refused to say if he followed proper bidding procedures.NC5 Investigates: "Was it a no-bid contract, John? It's a yes or no question."Arriola: "It was a contract, it was an agreement that I had with this small minority firm."NC5 Investigates: "With no bidding?"Arriola: "And I made the decision."We also uncovered almost $50,000 paid, supposedly for consulting about "emissions testing," to Encore Interpretive Design -- a company owned by Arriola friend David Currey. According to its website, the company's principals also include one of Arriola's top aides, Jonathan Saad."You gave him a no-bid contract?" NewsChannel 5 Investigates asked the county clerk."David was just a project-by-project person," Arriola answered.Nolan compared the situation to a common family occurrence.
"It's a little like your teenager who you got the bill and there's something on there you don't like," he said. "You not only say don't do that, you make sure they don't do that. You take their credit card away."While it's unusual for a mayor's administration to interject itself into another elected official's business, Gossage writes in his letter that it's meant not to be punitive, but to "ensure transparency and public trust.""I don't think this mayor or previous mayors have been looking for things to go after," Nolan added. "But I think obviously when things are brought to their attention, there's pretty much a necessity, they feel like they have to act."In his letter, the purchasing agent tells Arriola that he'll assign someone to work with the county clerk to make sure they get everything they need to run the office. Administration officials say they'll just make sure that, in the future, all the rules are followed.As for those weddings at the clerk's office, after we revealed that Arriola was pocketing thousands of dollars cash from ceremonies performed on taxpayer time, he announced that he would continue offering the service, but that the money would in the future go to charity.Now, callers are being told that there will be no weddings this week and to check back to see if they'll be offered then.

text: HI!!!! I have been piping up on the June thread, but really I am cycling in July. I also notice the June IVF thread is already 7 pages long, so I thought I'd start one for July people. Hoping to find some cycle buddies!!! I am on day 6 of BCP's, my protocol is to take the whole 21 days worth, so I won't be stimming until the second week of July (??). This is my second IVF, my first cycle resulted in a m/c, but we had enough embryos to do a FET and I had my dd (she is 2). I am much more informed this time around!! Mostly thanks to these boards. I will be doing the same protocol this time - nasty Synarel nose spray, and Repronex and Gonal F injections.

What I disliked about it
I was shocked when I opened my order. Stupid me didn't realize that this is less than ONE OUNCE of product. I stupidly thought that this is along the same size lines as other removers and did NOT think about the size. I am very VERY disappointed in Laura Geller for the teeny-tiny Ten Dollar Tester/Travel Bottle ..... and yes I take the blame as well. RIP-OFF!!
Age Range: 41-50
Overall: I would not purchase this again or recommend to a friend

I've been playing with a lot of graphics in Xcode over the last few weeks and had a lot of trouble replacing images when not changing the file name. It can be pretty frustrating, for example, when resizing images to have Xcode refuse to show the new size. For some reason it keeps the old version of the image no matter how many times I delete and re-add it, or clean and rebuild the project.
I hit on the following sequence that works every time to replace images:
- Delete the original image version from within Xcode. Trash it. (Make sure you have the new version of your image available outside the project area first, of course…)
- Clean the project.
- Quit Xcode completely and restart.
- Copy the new file with the same name back into the project area.
- Re-add the file.
It might not be quick, but it's worked every time for me so far. Given that other strategies for clearing things involve digging through files to find the project installation on the simulator to delete (and I can never remember where that is), this at least seems fairly simple and straight forward.
Hope it helps.

Energy crops probably don't grow as fast as much of the current research on them assumes that they will.

Rising Turnover and Revenues at Dreher Breweries
19 October 2012
Budapest, September 25th, 2012 - Dreher Breweries Ltd., Hungary's number one beer producing and distributing company, has closed another successful season. The 158-year-old breweries are expecting 40 billion forints in revenues, 3 more than last year's 37 billion. The company, which produces nearly 2 million hectolitres of beer per year, has seen its turnover rise last year, following a steady decrease which was observed in the beer industry as a whole. This positive trend continued this year. The increase can be explained by the broadening of its low-priced products segment, which is due to the economic crisis, but also by the company's successful strategy in the catering industry, which was explained at the Dreher Breweries press conference.
Twenty years ago, 10 million hectolitres of beer were consumed every year in Hungary, a number which gradually dropped to 7 million, with the demand continuously decreasing ever since. This negative tendency reversed last year and as the market continued growing this year, we can speak of a definitive change in trends. Dreher Breweries Ltd., Hungary's number one beer producing and distributing company, followed the beer industry's trends and its sales increased compared to last year's, as we learned at the company's season closing economic press conference.
Tamás Glattfelder, the financial and administrative director of the breweries, emphasised that Dreher Breweries is calculating its figures with overlapping fiscal dates (April 1st - March 31st) and thus cannot present its final results, but according to estimates so far, the breweries are expecting 40 billion in revenues. This is far better than last year's 37 billion. The director underlined that Dreher Breweries paid 12 billion forints in excise tax, 6 billion forints in value added tax (VAT) and nearly 2 billion in wage-related and other taxes, i. e., it has contributed to the Hungarian budget a total of 20 billion forints. Ninety-three hundred employees have a secure living, thanks to their job at the breweries, and there are another 4600 jobs in catering and 610 in retail.
The 7% increase in volume is partly due to the market's trends and partly to Dreher Breweries' successful programmes aimed at the catering industry. Thanks to a great season, consumption of draught beer increased by 8% between April and August compared to the same period last year and Arany Ászok has become the most important brand in this segment.
It became obvious during last year's and the current season that beer sales are more and more focused on low-priced products, which is why the increase in volume is not directly proportional to the financial results. Low-priced beers represent 30-40% of the market, while premium products make up 15% of it. The rest of the market is made up of medium-priced products.
Lóránt Sándor Kovács, the company development director said, regarding company strategy, that owing to the success of the catering sector, efforts in this direction should be pursued. Dreher Breweries will reinforce its industry-related programmes to help raise the popularity of draught beer, which is the best quality format in the beer industry. The presence of flavoured beers is a new challenge and possibility in the Hungarian and foreign beer market. This segment represents nearly 7% of beer consumed yearly and shows that consumers are curious and demand specialties, which is why the company decided this year to enter this market. Kovács also mentioned, concerning the company's sustainable development strategy, that nearly 50% of its beer is sold in recyclable, rechargeable packaging (30% of it in barrels and 70% in recyclable bottles), which is a unique rate in the industry.
