Nickname to get Noa?
I've been hesitating a lot about our first name pick, Eloise, I'm just sick of E names already. While I was looking (and looking and looking) for one, just ONE, other name my husband and I could even remotely agree on, I found Noa. I think it's adorable. Lo and behold, my husband loves it.
Finally - something we agree on! WOOHOO!
Now I'm just afraid of the obvious confusion between Noa and the popular Noah for boys. I offered the alternatives Nora or Nola or Nova, and he hates them. How is it even possible to love Noa and hate Nora, I don't know!!!
I'm wondering if there's other longer less confusing names that would have the nn Noa? I've heard of Magnolia being nicknamed to Noa, anything else?

Another day, another bit of Miley Cyrus finally showing off her chest bare and square. No music video hidden tricks here, just a whole lot of clear views of Miley's perky pair on the pages of Vogue Germany. We'll look to get you better photos, but for now, take in the world's most popular music star flaunting her forlorn sexuality on the pages of this European fashion magazine.
Say what you will about Miley Cyrus, she's no tease, like some other pop music artists we know. She puts her mammies where her mouth is. When she says she's not shy, she's shows she's not shy. Good for you, Miley. Good for us. Good for the planet. I'm still not buying any of your craptastic double-entendre auto-tuned songs, but I will defend you and your boobtastic on this very day. Enjoy.
(P.S. Thanks to a million and one of our favorite readers for the head's up on Miley's tops-off.)

CROMWELL, Connecticut (AP) ― David Mathis hoped to start strong at the Travelers Championship after missing the cut last week in the U.S. Open.
The 38-year-old Mathis birdied his first hole, then holed out from 158 yards on the par-3 11th hole. He knocked in a 49-foot birdie putt on his third, was at 6-under par after six holes, and fished with a 6-under 64 for a one-shot lead.
"It was an awesome start," said Mathis, who has never finished better than eighth in a PGA Tour event. "I was hitting a lot of great shots (later), and I guess it felt like a lull compared to how I started."
Nathan Green, Will Claxton and defending champion Fredrik Jacobson shot 65 on a day that saw temperatures soar into the upper 90s.
U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson and Masters winner Bubba Watson played together and finished in a group of 10 at 66. The third member of the threesome, PGA champion Keegan Bradley, shot a 68.
Koreans Ma and Lee put hosts on top
Korean rookie Ma Soo-kil and compatriot Lee Sang-hee put the hosts on top as they shared the first round lead at the inaugural Volvik Hildesheim Open J Golf Series on Thursday.
They posted matching six-under-par 66s on the opening day of the $300,000 tournament in Jecheon, Korea, which is jointly sanctioned by the Asian and Korean Tours.
Ma, 22, mixed his card with five birdies, an eagle and a bogey while Lee enjoyed a flawless round that included an eagle-three on the 16th hole.
The Korean dominance of the first round was complete when Choi Ho-sung and Kim Dae-hyun posted 67s to take tied third place. (AFP)

|Inspection of the VA Regional Office Providence, Rhode Island
|Report Number:
|Issue Date:
|Providence, RI
|VA Office:
|Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA)
|Report Author:
|Office of Audits and Evaluations
|Report Type:
|Benefits Inspection
|Release Type:
|We conducted this inspection to evaluate how well the VARO accomplishes this mission. We found the Providence VARO staff provided adequate outreach to homeless shelters and service providers. VARO performance was generally effective in processing herbicide exposure-related and homeless veterans' claims and in correcting errors identified by VBA's internal review program. However, the VARO lacked effective controls and accuracy in processing some disability claims. Inaccuracies in processing temporary 100 percent disability evaluations resulted when staff did not schedule medical reexaminations. Also, VARO staff used inadequate exam reports to process traumatic brain injury claims. They also did not correctly process 25 (37 percent) of the 68 disability claims we sampled during our inspection. VARO management did not ensure staff timely completed Systematic Analyses of Operations, properly processed mail, and accurately addressed Gulf War veterans' entitlement to mental health treatment. Further, processing of competency determinations was not fully effective, resulting in unnecessary delays in making final decisions.

Thank you! I use both PhotoImpact and Picnik.com to edit my photos; all my photo collages I make in PhotoImpact, but you can achieve the same results with Photoshop Elements and other similar programs.ReplyDelete
You look gorgeous! I adore your dress! The high-waisted skirt is so beautiful! The rolls look great too! Victory rolls are my favorite vintage hairstyle. They're really easy once you get the knack of it. I find that if you fuss over them, they won't work, but if you say aloud "I don't care what they look like, just get up there!" your hair will give up the fight and they'll look perfect! At least, that's always the case with my hair! lol! Thank you too for the collage and photo editor info! I love your collages and always assumed that you used photoshop. I'm terrible with photoshop but I'll give those programs a try! :)ReplyDelete
Thank you soo much for sharing your editing programme, I had never heard of photo impact until now. I wish i could master victory rolls myself it always requires a lot of setting lotion and back combing as my hair is fine.ReplyDelete

A THREATENED Glasgow charity race will go ahead this year, despite funding being stopped.
The Men's Health Forum 10k, which has been held in the city's Bellahouston Park for the past six years, will take place on Sunday, June 16 – Father's Day.
Organisers said they were "delighted" the event could take place.
As reported in the Evening Times in September, it was thought the race may not be able to go ahead this year after the Scottish Government funding came to an end.
But, thanks to sponsorship deals and fundraising efforts, the race, which raised £450,000 for good causes last year, will take place in 2013 after all.
Anti-stigma charity 'see me' Scotland is sponsoring this year's event, and Yorkhill Children's Foundation has been confirmed as the official sponsor.
Sarah McMillan, event manager at Men's Health Forum Scotland, said: "I am delighted. We want to put on a really professional event and we are targeting guys who do not do physical activity or are coming back to it after a long time, as well as seasoned runners."
In September, the organisers sent out a desperate appeal to runners to help them fund the event.
The Men's Health Forum Scotland, which works to promote healthy lifestyles and also conduct research into men's health issues, asked runners who took part in the past to help support this year's event, by donating £1 and getting 19 of their friends to do the same.
They raised £2500 from donations from runners to put towards covering the cost of staging the event – which was estimated at around £66,000.
Sarah said: "It is an event that changes thousands of men's lives and it is so important for us to keep that going."
According to the forum's research, around half the men who take part in each 10k have never entered a running event before, and many go on to take up regular exercise afterwards.
A Scottish Government spokesman said in September that it had provided a time limited grant of £166,000 in 2010-11 and a transitional grant in 2011-12 of £60,000, to cover costs while alternative sources of funding were identified.
He said that much of the organisation's work was locally based and that it did not believe it was appropriate for the Scottish Government to continue to cover core costs.
Almost 4000 runners took part in last year's race, which took place on Father's Day.

Bell Helicopter has selected a variety of Honeywell avionics for its light-twin Model 429, highlighted by the new solid-state KSG-7200 air-data attitude heading reference system (ADAHRS). Derived from Honeywell air transport and business jet technology, the system features miniaturized electromechanical sensors (MEMS) rather than legacy spinning gyros and accelerometers.
Thus it offers superior accuracy and stability without the need for GPS updating. The KSG-7200, said Honeywell, is a dual-channel system combining attitude and heading with altitude, altitude rate, airspeed and outside air temperature in a single box. Solid-state pressure transducers serve the air-data functions. With all components working together, each channel's central-processing unit and sensors collect, share and compare information. Isolated low-speed transmitters continuously communicate AHRS data to ensure high sensor accuracy. This architecture also enables the ADAHRS to reinitialize in flight for added safety.
The selection by Bell is the first helicopter contract award for Honeywell's MEMS-based ADAHRS, featured at Booth No. 1907. FAA certification for use on the 429 is expected this year. The KSG-7200 will be standard, while Bell will offer Honeywell ADF, radar altimeter, weather radar and EGPWS as options.

"New Moon" casting update, "Twilight" DVD artwork revealed
January 7, 2009
Actor Taylor Lautner will return to the "Twilight" film franchise to play Jacob Black, a principal character in "New Moon," according to a statement released Jan. 7 by "New Moon" director Chris Weitz and "Twilight" saga author Stephenie Meyer.
In the joint statement posted on Meyer's official website, Weitz addressed the recent speculation that Lautner would be replaced by a different actor.
"The characters in Stephenie's books go through extraordinary changes of circumstance and also appearance; so it is not surprising that there has been speculation about whether the same actor would portray a character who changes in so many surprising ways throughout the series," he said.
Meyer added, "I'm truly thrilled that Taylor was the one who proved to the director, to Summit, and to me that he is the best possible Jacob we could have."
"New Moon" will begin filming in Canada early this year and is scheduled to be released in theaters in November 2009, according to Summit Entertainment.
The artwork for the forthcoming DVD release of "Twilight" was previewed this week. An exact release date for the DVD has not yet been announced, although various reports suggest that it will hit shelves sometime in March.

Aretha Franklin Wants Spot at IDOL's Judges Table
Aretha Franklin told CNN in an email yesterday that she would be interested in becoming a judge on next seaon's AMERICAN IDOL. The Queen of Soul has reportedly been a long-time fan of the show. The news comes just days after Idol judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez announced they would not be returning next season.
Franklin, an 18-time Grammy Award winner who was named 'greatest female singer of all time' by Rolling Stone magazine, commented that she would like to bring her friend and fellow legendary recording artist Patti LaBelle with her as a judge on the show.
The 70-year-old singer is currently performing in Las Vegas. She would join a growing list of celebrities and musicians rumored to be under consideration for next year's judge's panel including former Idol contestant Adam Lambert, superstar Mariah Carey and Celine Dion.
Fox has not commented on the report.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer conceded that Vista isn't selling as well the company had hoped, observing that the sales expectations for the operating system were "overly aggressive." The numbers, as usual, aren't quite so black and white as "success" and "failure," however; Ballmer fully expects emerging markets such as China and Brazil to jump on the Vista bandgwagon, but those are locations plagued by heavy piracy, which would naturally eat into Microsoft's profits.
Vista is barely out of the gate, but Ballmer was already talking about Microsofts next OS, saying, "We won't go five years again, I promise, between big Windows releases." I have but one request for the next Microsoft OS: a less annoying series of commercials promoting it.

Individual Strategy and Social Structure:
Neoclassical economics as-sumes that people are highly rational and can reason their way through even the most complex economic problems. In Individual Strategy and Social Structure, Peyton Young argues for a more realistic view in which people have a limited understanding of their environment, are sometimes short-sighted, and occasionally act in perverse ways. He shows how the cumulative experiences of many such individuals coalesce over time into customs, norms, and institutions that govern economic and social life. He develops a theory that predicts how such institutions evolve and characterizes their welfare properties.
The ideas are illustrated through a variety of examples, including patterns of residential segregation, rules of the road, claims on property, forms of economic contracts, and norms of equity. The book relies on new results in evolutionary game theory and stochastic dynamical systems theory, many of them originated by the author. It can serve as an introductory text, or be read on its own as a contribution to the study of economic and social institutions.
"[Individual Strategy and Social Structure] should be a valuable resource for all interested in this extremely valuable and flexible technique. Self-contained and pleasant to read."--Journal of Economics
"Peyton Young's study puts the evolution of institutions on the basis of individual choices in an adaptive and adapting environment. It puts a firm foundation under the vague idea of 'spontaneous order.' The exposition is extraordinarily clear; Young introduces and explains the mathematical tools he uses in his brilliant synthesis and development, which combines ideas from evolutionary theory and the study of learning. The book is accessible to the beginner in the field and yet no one, no matter how expert, will fail to learn something."--Kenneth J. Arrow, Stanford University, 1972 Nobel Laureate in Economics
"Individual Strategy and Social Structure makes a convincing case for an adaptive, low-rationality, probabilistic approach to game theory and to economics and social science in general."--Alvin E. Roth, Harvard University
"In this well written and elegant volume, Peyton Young takes a large step in redirecting the theory and the problems that game theorists deal with. Rather than asking what is the proper equilibrium notion for a game played by fully rational agents capable of making all necessary calculations, he asks what types of conventions of behavior or social institutions will intelligent but not omniscient agents create for themselves when they repeatedly face the same problem that needs to be solved. Clearly this is what the real world looks like and Young brings us closer to it."--Andrew Schotter, New York University

4. Outlook for 3rd quarter darkens as durable goods orders tumble
Orders for long-lasting U.S. manufactured goods recorded their biggest drop in nearly a year in July and a gauge of planned business spending on capital goods tumbled, casting a shadow over the economy early in the third quarter.
The Commerce Department said on Monday durable goods orders dropped 7.3 percent as demand for goods ranging from aircraft to computers and defense equipment fell. That was the biggest decline since last August and snapped three consecutive months of gains
Orders for these goods, which range from toasters to aircraft, had increased 3.9 percent in June.
Economists polled by Reuters had expected durable goods orders to fall 4.0 percent.
Non-defense capital goods orders excluding aircraft, a closely watched proxy for business spending plans, fell 3.3 percent, breaking four straight months of gains. It was the biggest fall since February.
Not to worry. O'Bomber is getting ready to start another Mideast war to pick up the slack.

I'd be limping that old crate along until it gave me food poisoning and then maybe I'd be in the market for another reconditioned fridge of uncertain vintage that sucked too much power.

John Mack is no longer at the top of Morgan Stanley. So hes getting his fix elsewhere.
While the company he headed is a shadow of its former selfthis year, Morgan Stanley is laying off 1,600 people, Moodys is threatening to downgrade its credit rating, and the share price is down 32 percent over the past twelve monthsMack stock, it seems, is up. Hes taken a position as an adviser to the China Investment Corporation, the $400 billion Chinese sovereign-wealth fund, and joined the board of Rev Worldwide, a company that specializes in prepaid debit cards. Last month, Mack scored a high-profile appointment as a senior adviser to private-equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts. And those are just the things I can tell you about, he says with a chuckle.

10. Europes Single Bank Rule Book Falls Apart as North Races Ahead
The goal of a single rule book for Europes banks is splintering even before its implemented as northern countries move ahead with tougher requirements to ward off the next boom-to-bust cycle.
Swedens too-big-to-fail banks, which already face stricter capital rules than their competitors elsewhere, may be told to hold even larger reserves, Financial Markets Minister Peter Norman said yesterday. In Denmark, Business Minister Henrik Sass Larsen said he cant wait for southern Europe to regulate its systemically important financial institutions. He backs the swift passage of national capital laws to curb bank risks.
Getting Sifi regulations in place in a number of southern European countries probably will take time, Larsen said in an e-mailed reply to questions. We must signal we are in control of things and thereby strengthen the markets and customers confidence in them.
As Europe struggles to stimulate growth without stoking a new credit bubble, the specter of swelling private debt is prompting regulators from Sweden to the Netherlands to curb borrowing. The measures go beyond new capital rules approved earlier this year by the European Union and set to become law by Jan. 1.

11. Stocks Fall as Yen, Bonds Rise on Syria; Oil, Gold Gain
Stocks fell for a second day, the yen strengthened and bonds rose after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Syria will be held accountable for using chemical weapons. Turkeys lira and Indias rupee weakened to records while oil and gold advanced.
The MSCI All-Country World Index dropped 0.6 percent to 369.04 at 10:15 a.m. in London as Standard & Poors 500 Index futures fell 0.5 percent. Japans currency appreciated at least 0.5 percent versus all 31 of its major counterparts and bonds rose. The lira tumbled to 2 per dollar for the first time and the rupee sank 2.3 percent. Thailands benchmark equity gauge headed for a bear market. West Texas Intermediate crude added 0.5 percent to $106.43 a barrel and gold climbed 0.5 percent to $1,412.07 an ounce.
Kerry said President Barack Obama believes there must be accountability for the moral obscenity of using chemical weapons, fanning concern unrest may disrupt Middle East oil supplies. An Ifo institute report today showed German business confidence rose for a fourth month in August, before data on U.S. housing and consumer confidence.
For anyone who thought that the Arab Spring was going to be a temporary situation, its proven to not be the case, Erik Wytenus, Hong Kong-based head of foreign exchange and commodities at JPMorgan Private Bank in Asia, said on Bloomberg Televisions On the Move with Rishaad Salamat. Youve got a bit of short-term, safe haven, flight-to-quality bid. Emerging markets are being punished by severe capital outflows, which are hitting their currencies inordinately hard.

12. Start-Ups Fill Void Left by Spains 26% Unemployment Rate
The rush starts at about 8 p.m. at La Infinito. Thats when Antonio Rojas Fernandez and Paloma Perez Rodriguezs Madrid cafe usually fills up, typically keeping them busy until midnight.
While they have two part-timers to help prepare food and bus the dozen tables a few times a week, the couple hasnt taken more than a day off each since opening in May 2012, five months after they lost their jobs. She was a teacher, while he installed television antennas.
Its not easy, but its working, said Perez, 36, popping her head through a beaded curtain from the kitchen as the fruit blenders whir covers the music. I tell people its true I still have problems, said Rojas, who is a year older. The difference is that now theyre the ones Ive chosen.
As Spaniards endure the worst economic crisis and deepest austerity measures in their countrys democratic history, start-up companies are proliferating.
Over the first seven months of the year, registrations of self-employed people increased by 21,992 while they fell by 6,826 over the same period a year earlier. The number of companies created increased by 8.2 percent in the first half as a 26 percent unemployment rate spurs entrepreneurship in a country where the government still accounts for one in six jobs.

13. German Business Confidence Rises to Highest in 16 Months
German business confidence rose to the highest level in 16 months in August, beating forecasts and indicating that the recovery in Europes largest economy is gathering pace. A measure of construction activity fell.
The Ifo business climate index, based on a survey of 7,000 executives, climbed to 107.5 from 106.2 in July, the Munich-based institute said today. Thats the highest since April 2012. Economists predicted an increase to 107, according to the median of 42 forecasts in a Bloomberg News survey.
German gross domestic product expanded 0.7 percent in the second quarter, rebounding from a colder-than-usual winter that curbed output and helping the 17-nation euro area emerge from its longest-ever recession. The nations growth was led by private consumption and included the first increase in plant and machinery investment since 2011, signaling the recovery may be sustained.
The latest business sentiment readings confirm our view that the German economy will be able to maintain a somewhat more moderate but still robust momentum in the second half of 2013, following the exceptional rebound in the spring, said Alexander Koch, an economist at UniCredit Group in Munich. Domestic demand should remain a major growth pillar, currently adding to an overall broad-based recovery path.

14. Hedge Fund 75-Cent Aussie Call Draws Investors: Australia Credit
European investors are backing Excalibur Funds Management Ptys call for the Australian dollar to slump to 75 U.S. cents, reflecting record bets from speculators on declines in the currency.
Institutional investors placed $200 million with the Sydney-based hedge funds Australian dollar-only strategy since it started July 17, Matthew Harper, a principal and trader at Excalibur, said in an interview Aug. 22. Hedge funds and other speculators swung from record bets on Aussie gains in December to the most wagers ever this month that the currency will fall.
The local dollar slid 15 percent from a peak in April as Chinas slowdown sapped demand for the nations commodities and the Reserve Bank cut benchmark rates to a record, eroding the currencys high-yield status. Harper forecast the spread between Australian and U.S. 10-year government yields, now more than 1 percentage point, will converge by mid-2014.
There are a lot of headwinds ahead for the Australian dollar, Harper said. We cant rely on China, which we have for the last four or five years.

15. CNBC: Larry Summers Is Likely To Be Named Chairman Of The Fed In A Few Weeks
A source from Team Obama told CNBC that Larry Summers will likely be named chairman of the Federal Reserve in a few weeks though he is "still being vetted" so it might take a little longer.
It's largely come down to a two-horse race between Summers, a former Treasury secretary, and Fed Vice Chairman Janet Yellen for the next Fed chief.
It is widely expected that the current Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will resign by the end of the year as his term ends in January. President Obama has already said that Bernanke has "already stayed a lot longer" in the role than he expected. Those remarks came in an interview with Charlie Rose on PBS in June.
Who might take the reins from Bernanke has been an undertone in the market and at the Fed's recent meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

17. COLIN POWELL: Syria Is An 'Internal Struggle' That Is Beyond US Capabilities
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell spoke cautiously Sunday about any possible Syrian intervention, warning that the two-year-old civil war was likely beyond U.S. capabilities to affect any meaningful change.
"I have no affection for Assad," Powell told Bob Schieffer on CBS' "Face the Nation," while mentioning he knows the Syrian president and has personally dealt with him. "He's a pathological liar."
However, Powell said, "I am less sure of the resistance. What do they represent? Is it becoming even more radicalized with more al Qaeda coming in, and what would it look like if they prevailed and Assad went? I don't know."
Calls for U.S.-led intervention have intensified in recent days after horrifying video footage emerged of an alleged chemical attack on Aug. 21. A senior administration official harbored "very little doubt" the Assad regime was behind the attack, despite their denials.

18. We May Be In The Early Stages Of The Next Global Economic Crisis
NEW HAVEN The global economy could be in the early stages of another crisis. Once again, the US Federal Reserve is in the eye of the storm.
As the Fed attempts to exit from so-called quantitative easing (QE) its unprecedented policy of massive purchases of long-term assets many high-flying emerging economies suddenly find themselves in a vise. Currency and stock markets in India and Indonesia are plunging, with collateral damage evident in Brazil, South Africa, and Turkey.
The Fed insists that it is blameless the same absurd position that it took in the aftermath of the Great Crisis of 2008-2009, when it maintained that its excessive monetary accommodation had nothing to do with the property and credit bubbles that nearly pushed the world into the abyss. It remains steeped in denial: Were it not for the interest-rate suppression that QE has imposed on developed countries since 2009, the search for yield would not have flooded emerging economies with short-term hot money.

19. Why It Still Feels Like Recession To 95% Of America
If you want to claim the 2008 recession ended, you have to find a metric that reflects "growth." For instance, gross domestic product (GDP), which has expanded since 2009.
But as Lance Roberts, Gordon T. Long and I discuss in Is the US in a Recession?(43 min. video, 52 slides), this metric of "growth" is suspect on a number of counts. For example, does this chart of full-time employees relative to the population look expansionary?
Or how about this chart of median household income, which adjusted for inflation isdown 7.2%?
Or how about real personal income less government personal transfers on a 5-year basis (the red line)? Notice that the red line only popped briefly above 0% into "growth" in late 2012 as those who could declared income in 2012 before the 1013 tax increases kicked in.

23. Workers Of America Are Getting Screwed
The good news this Labor Day: Jobs are returning. The bad news this Labor Day: Most of them pay lousy wages and low if non-existent benefits.
The trend toward lousy wages began before the Great Recession. According to a new report from the Economic Policy Institute, weak wage growth between 2000 and 2007, combined with wage losses for most workers since then, means that the bottom 60 percent of working Americans are earning less now than thirteen years ago.
This is also part of the explanation for why the percent of Americans living below the poverty line has been increasing even as the economy has started to recover from 12.3 percent in 2006 to around 14 percent this year. More than 35 million Americans now live below the poverty line.
Many of them have jobs. The problem is these jobs just dont pay enough to lift their families out of poverty.

29. We've Entered the Age of the 'Anti-Mall'
Anti-malls are the new malls. So proclaims the staff of D.C.-area booster magazine Washingtonian, in a fun compendium of "The Best of Washington: 62 Reasons to Love Our City" (July 2013). Even the suburbs are figuring out that walkable retail, not enclosed malls surrounded by parking lots, is the way to go in the twenty-first century:
With sophisticated shopping centers such as the Mosaic district in Merrifield and Bethesda Row, suburbs are taking a cue from their urban brethren by shifting to walkable, tree-lined town centerscombining community, thoughtful design, and carefully curated boutiques (Ginger, Bellacara) with specialty eateries. A far cry from the '80s supermall, these feel completely freshthanks in no small part to the open air.
I was especially pleased to see the mention of Bethesda Row, the best example of successful suburban retrofit that I know. Indeed, my co-authors and I were so impressed by the then work-in-progress that we chose it for the cover of our 2001 book, Solving Sprawl. Bethesda, a once-sleepy if upscale inner suburb in nearby Maryland, was almost totally automobile-dependent in 1994 when the mixed-use, multi-block development was conceived for a decaying commercial/industrial strip; now, in no small part because of developments like Bethesda Row, Bethesda feels both urban and urbane, yet still human-scaled. Its a great place to be.
Rachel Nania, writing for the local all-news radio station WTOP, agrees that the landscape of area retail is changing dramatically, with enclosed shopping malls on the decline. She cites the Ballston Common Mall in another D.C. inner suburb, as an example. It sits almost on top of a Metro station but is losing customers.

31. Capital Flight: Currencies Plunge Rapidly in Asian Economies
Indian customs officials are out in full force these days in their attempt to stop the illegal import of gold. At the airport in Kochi, in the south of the country, officials recently caught a man who had hidden two kilograms (5.5 pounds) of precious metals in his socks -- he was given away by his odd gait. Other customs officers on the border with Nepal stopped a truck with 35 kilograms of gold hidden in its bumper.
Their battle is a frustrating one. For every kilogram of gold seized, it is estimated that another makes it into the country unnoticed. Gangs pay smugglers up to 50,000 Indian rupees (around 575 or $770) to bring them gold from, for example, Dubai, a favorite source. Indians are obsessed with gold right now -- and not only because of the approaching wedding season. As the rupee has dropped dramatically in value, many Indians have turned to tangible assets. The government has increased its tax on gold imports as a way of shoring up the country's currency, but that has only caused wary investors to flee further.
The government comes up with new ideas for slowing the rupee's fall almost every day: by imposing customs duties on flat-screen TVs -- which Indians could previously bring into the country unobstructed -- for example, or by making it more difficult for company managers to export capital and invest it abroad.
None of this has helped. Since May, the rupee has lost 17 percent of its value against the dollar.

44. NAUSEA ALERT:The Lucky Break That Could Land Larry Summers at the Fed
In a recent column, Bloomberg Views Al Hunt posited that Larry Summerss fateshould President Obama nominate him to succeed Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanakecould hinge on his former Harvard colleague (and Massachusetts senator) Elizabeth Warren. Warren, like many Democrats, is no big fan. Along with 16 other Democratic senators, she signed a letter urging the president to nominate Janet Yellen instead. If he doesnt, Hunt thinks Warren will ultimately support his nomination and that her influence could be decisive.
Im not convinced that Warrens support for Summers is a sure thing. She had no qualms about voting against Obamas choice for U.S. Trade Representative, Michael Froman, who, like Summers, is a protégé of former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and thus part of a crowd that Warren and many other liberals view with asperity.
But I do think that Summers, if hes nominated, will get a huge break from the Senate Democratic caucus, because, unlike the GOP caucus, it contains no serious presidential contenders. Why does that matter? Because presidential candidates are almost always captive to the passions of their partys base, and the liberal base of the Democratic Party loathes Summers. That would produce tremendous pressure to oppose him.
Consider, for a moment, the GOP caucus, where Senators Ted Cruz of Texas, Rand Paul of Kentucky, and Marco Rubio of Floridaall considered blue-chip prospects for the 2016 Republican nominationhave taken positions in vehement opposition to Obamacare, including passing a budget that doesnt fund the health-care law, even if that leads to a government shutdown. It may well be that each of these candidates believes this is a wise and necessary step that will boost their chance of winning the White Houseeven though many Republicans disagree. But even if they didnt believe this, the senators would have to pretend that they did to preserve and enhance their right-wing credibility.
The fact that Summers doesnt have three Democratic presidential hopefuls in the Senate probably means hell have three more votes than he would have otherwiseand that may wind up being the deciding factor if hes nominated.
Who Sits Where on Yellen vs. Summers http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-08-14/who-sits-where-on-yellen-vs-dot-summers

Picture the choice of the next Federal Reserve chair as a seesaw. Some influential Wall Street types with Democratic ties, including Steven Rattner and Roger Altman, are sitting on former Treasury Secretary Larry Summerss side of the teeter-totter. Fed Vice Chair Janet Yellen has strong support among women and Summers haters. The person with the power to tip the seesaw, President Barack Obama, is sitting right in the middlefor now. Here, in the spirit of the playground, is Bloomberg Businessweeks unscientific take on the politickingroll over the circles to see who sits where.

I am totaly mad about radio from the days of listening to Radio Caroline and Lluxemburge as a kid. Then I went on to get my amatuer radio licence at 18 years old.
I then got the bug for presenting and got involved with Radio Caracker before joining BHBN hospital radio in Birmingham.
After moving from Birminghan I was involved with hospital radio in Nuneaton. After this I decided to give radio a rest but then TCR fm was just beginning and I couldn't help but get involved.

Edmonton neighbourhood celebrates 100 years
EDMONTON – A parade, music, performers, and fireworks. It's exactly what you would expect during a centennial celebration.
On Saturday, Edmontonians enjoyed it all during Beverly's 100 year celebration.
"It's maintained its small town ambience, and this was a good reason to party," said Centennial Coordinator Shirley Lowe.
Beverly was incorporated as its own town on August 15, 1914. In 1961, the community become part of Edmonton.
The man who served as the parade marshall during Saturday's parade knows all about Beverly's history. Harold Jinks turns 101-years-old this year.
"Harold Jinks was a young hockey player in 1933-34 when they won the Alberta championships, and he was playing for the Bush Mine then. There were three big mines in the area, coal mines," recalled Lowe.
Saturday's events were a culmination of initiatives to celebrate the old neighbourhood's centennial.
"The historical society has done a lot of different things. There's a mural program, they're marking the mines in the old town hall, school programs, we've opened an interpretive centre," explained Lowe.
"It's time now to bring the community together and celebrate the community itself."

JERUSALEM (Apr. 19)
Israel made it clear today that its response to events in south Lebanon will be determined by its security needs. This was stated in a message sent by Premier Menachem Begin today to United Nations Secretary General Kurt Waldheim. Early this week, Waldheim sent a cable to Begin in which he charged that Israel was Inciting Christians in south Lebanon not to permit the entry of a Lebanese army battalion into the region.
Begin stated in his reply that in light of new terrorist activities by the Palestine Liberation Organization in south Lebanon and on upsurge of terrorist incidents inside Israel, it was imperative that Israel take all necessary measures to maintain the security of its northern borders. He stressed that Israel was not attempting to influence the Christians and that the steps taken by Mai. Sood Haddad, commander of the Christian militia, were taken independently, in accordance with what Haddad thought was best for the Christian community.
Yesterday, Haddad declared the 350-square mile region of south Lebanon along the Israel border a "free Lebanon." He said it would refuse to recognize the authority of the central government in Beirut until all Palestinians and Syrian forces were removed from Lebanese territory. The Christians have used armed force to block the advance of the 500-man Lebanese battalion which they, contend is a pro-Syrian unit commanded by Syrian officers disguised in Lebanese uniforms.
Christian artillery shelled the headquarters of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) early today, wounding eight UN soldiers. A UN spokesman said later that "the Israel army intervened after about an hour to stop the attack." The wounded soldiers were identified as two Dutch captains and six Irish troopers.
In another incident, a Christian militiaman laying telephone wire was killed by UNIFIL soldiers who thought he was planting mines. Enraged by the killing Christian villagers fired on UNIFIL headquarters at Nakura wounding several United Nations personnel. UNIFIL said two of its helicopters were hit.
Shelling became generalized during the day when Palestinian terrorists fired several salvoes of Katyusha rockets into eastern and western Galilee. One Israeli settler was injured and a chicken coop and sheds in a moshav were damaged. Israeli artillery returned the fire, but only perfunctorily. An officer explained that the restraint was deliberate because the Lebanese battalion, escorted by UNIFIL troops was in the area at the time. Israelis, who took to bomb shelters during the day, emerged in the evening when the border region was quiet.
Meanwhile, the Beirut government denounced Haddad as a traitor and said he would be tried for revolt and collaboration with the enemy, the penalty for which is death.
Begin met with his ministerial defense committee this morning, including Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan and Defense Minister Ezer Weizman, to discuss the latest developments in Lebanon. Diplomatic circles here noted afterwards that Moddad's declaration of a "free Lebanon" was made without Israel's knowledge and that Israel would not interfere in internal matters north of its border.
On the other hand, Israel has aided and supported the Christian militia and has pledged to protect the Christian minority from annihilation. This obligation is still valid, sources here said today, but Israel will not intervene in matters that do not endanger the existence of the Christian communities. Israel's position is that it will not oppose the suspect Lebanese battalion's deployment in the areas south of the Litani River under UNIFIL control but would oppose its entry into the Christian enclaves. Israel's position was conveyed to Haddad by Weizman who asked the Christian commander to accept it. Haddad and most of his men apparently did but some militia units continued their attempts to block the battalion's advance into the south.
Haddad mode it clear yesterday that his proclamation of a free Lebanese republic in his territory did not envisage a permanent separatist state. "Lebanon is our country and Beirut is its capital" he said. But he demanded the ouster of the Palestinians and Syrians from the country.

Cheryl Cole refuses to use Twitter but will sneak a peak at others' messages
Cheryl Cole says she won't join Twitter like her showbiz rival
Victoria Beckham because she wants 'a life'.
She admits to having a sneaky look at her bandmates' micro-blogging sites but insists: 'I'm not going to start tweeting. I want a life.
'It's like a personal tracking device. It's not good if you're constantly tapping. It's like stalker-book. I told Kimberley to do it just so I could see. I would read other peoples.'
For now, just dealing with her BlackBerry messages and e-mails is enough for the Girls Aloud and X Factor star to handle.
'I feel like I've already got square eyes and that's without Twitter. It's like a crackberry,' she said.

text: Last night, had a Boca Burger, flame grilled flavor. Cooked it on my George Foreman grill until nice and crispy, threw on a slice of low-fat Swiss cheese. YUMMY!!! If you close your eyes, you may even be able to convince yourself you're eating a hamburger May become a staple for me. For me, hardest part of eating healthy is finding quick and creative foods. I'm not much of a cook and get stuck in ruts of eating the same food over and over. Trying not to eat less that 1500 calories per day, as when I go off Phentermine, I want to have built up my routine of eating healthy in hopes of not putting all the weight I've lost (and will be loosing) back on.

Napoleon Perdis Re-Touch Skin Smoothing Cream Reviews
Napoleon Perdis Re-Touch Skin Smoothing CreamI have been using Too Faced Wrinkle injection for a long time, and I ran out. I saw this at Target while shopping and it pretty much made the same claims. It was about the same price, and I thought I would save a trip to Sephora, so I picked it up. I like the tube, it applied nicely, but afetr just a short while, it actually seemed to emphasize the lines around my lips and eyes and it made my f...read moreoundation coagulate into the small lines to the point when I tried to touch my cosmetics up, I just created a most horrible effect. I made my powder cake up and I had to just was my face and start all over. I was really disappointed, and I was not happy about paying what I did for this product because the performance was no where close to what I have experienced with Too Faced Wrinkle Injection. I have gone back to Too Faced Wrinkle Injection, and I am far more happy with the results from that than the Napoleon Perdis Re-Touch Smoothing Cream. It didn't perform very well and is an over priced product in my opinion. — 7 years, 9 months agolesa5363 | 352 reviews
