New York this ain't. But that doesn't mean you can't find a bagel that doesn't resemble a hockey puck.
Love this place! Bagels are steamed to order by the fun, chill staff. Try the chia bagel and don't leave w/o one of the oversized baked goods.
Old-school charm with heaping portions (and the rare parking lot!) make this spot busy round-the-clock. Stick to traditional Jewish dishes and grab a black & white cookie on your way out.
Come for the macarons and cutely shaped sugar cookies, stay for the Metropolis coffee. I love the low-key staffers.
I'd like to marry this coffee shop, or at least its namesake drink, the Ipsento. It's laced w/ cayenne & coconut milk & just delish. Free wifi & a comfy spot to hang.
A speedy something-for-everyone breakfast & lunch spot. The lunch special is a bargain.

For food, the problem is that you get tired of eating the same stuff, even sushi. So variety is an end in itself and has a value attached to it. At the same time, I agree that too much experimentation could lead to missing out on what you like. The way out: rotation. Here's my suggestion: Monday---fish and chips; tuesday, steak; Wednesday, lobster; Thursday, ham; Friday, sushi and a liquid diet over the weekend.Comment originally posted on January 16, 2007 5:23 AM
YESTERDAY, while in search of pot racks, I came upon a $1.99 frothing wand at Ikea. I'm a cappuccino freak who does not want to mess around with an espresso machine, nor spend $1500-3000 a year on Starbucks. For quite some time, I have been pondering possible ways to resolve this dilemma. When I spied this little item, I confess I was sceptical, but for $1.99 I was willing to risk it. The pity is that if it had been, say, $12.99, I probably wouldn't have tried it. Yet, I am ecstatic about my new purchase, which I tried for the first time on my morning coffee. It actually produced perfectly foamed skim milk—better, because there's no steam to water it down.
While I was at AEA, I had lunch with Dick Thaler, the famous behavioural economist from the University of Chicago. He lauded my (much derided) penchant for experimental purchases of small items at supermarkets and drugstores, pointing out that at my age, the net present value of future utility from a "find" is huge, while the costs (pecuniary and utilitarian) are negligible. Frankly, I think the frothing wand may have just paid off every random purchase I have ever made. Yes, even the turbie twist.
I expect Tyler Cowen to jump in here and point out that this applies to food, too: you should try something new frequently, rather than sticking to old favourites. Actually, Mr Thaler used exactly that example: he told me that an economist of our mutual acquaintance had been arguing with his wife over whether to tack on an extra, experimental dish, to their chinese takeout order. The economist made the same argument as Mr Thaler—and lost. But really, the wife lost. Just over the last year, I have discovered that I love sushi, and scallops, after arguing with dining companions who forced them on me despite my protestations that I loathe almost all fish.

MORGANTOWN - Bill Stewart was not at all pleased with West Virginia's first full-scale scrimmage of the preseason Saturday, and with good reason.
"Sloppy tackling, not breaking on the ball, not doing back-side cutoff blocks, not hustling, drops, exchange snaps,'' Stewart said by way of listing WVU's deficiencies. "I'm not real pleased. [We] didn't play up to our standards today.''
Still, the afternoon was not a total loss by any stretch of the imagination for a couple of big reasons.
Noel Devine was one and Bruce Irvin the other. Two players who are expected to deliver big this season did just that right from the start during Saturday's 60-minute scrimmage.
Devine, the Mountaineers' All-America candidate at tailback, broke a 79-yard touchdown run during the No. 1 offense's third series. He pretty much retired after that with 99 yards on just four carries.
"It's good to practice good habits and I think that's going to be a good habit this year,'' Devine said of breaking the day's biggest play. "I think you're going to see long runs like that.''
Devine would play just one more short series after that and then sat down.
"Noel was electrifying, as always,'' Stewart said. "We got him out of there early because I've seen what he can do.''
What Stewart hadn't seen, at least in the semi-formal setting of an officiated scrimmage, was what Irvin could do. And that became apparent even before Devine's long run.
The first two times the No. 1 offense had the ball, they faced early passing situations - first a third-and-7 and then a third-and-12 after a penalty. Both times the No. 1 defense went with its 40 package that includes four pass rushers, Irvin and Will Clarke being the ends.
And both times Irvin rushed quarterback Geno Smith for sacks. On the first he was nearly untouched because linebacker J.T. Thomas was also rushing from the left side. On the second, he simply bull-rushed new right tackle Jeff Braun.
It was enough to leave even Devine in awe. He was explaining afterward how the offense needs to work more on pass protection and was asked if he specifically meant line play or blocking by the backs.
"I think it's just a good job by Bruce Irvin,'' he said, shaking his head. "He's something. He's got strength and quickness.''
Thomas, who had missed much of the last few days of contact because of a sore neck, played every snap with the No. 1 defense and marveled at the play of Irvin, too.

Our Actors and Theirs
- Abstract
AT THE Actors' Studio some years ago I listened to a discussion that had as its subject national styles of acting. The English were spoken of with admiration, but always with the reservation that they somehow maintained a safe distance between themselves as performers and the roles they played, that they were reluctant to plunge into a character's "inner truth," to risk the dangers that lay in psychological depths. As one of the participants, himself an actor, put it, "The English are the greatest actors in the world-from the neck up."

CORPUS CHRISTI - Some local youths are on their way to Brazil to meet Pope Francis during his trip to South America.
The teens from Corpus Christi and Alice took off for their journey today. They'll join more than two million others for World Youth Day in Rio de Janeiro.
Every three years the event brings young catholics together in an effort to inject new energy into the church.
"This is a very important trip for me to go on. I want to grown in my faith and grow in person. Overall, grow as an individual and bring it back to Corpus and be able to spread the word," says Cassandra Hernandez.
World Youth Day wraps up with a papal mass on Sunday morning.

Rian Johnson
Rian Johnson | |
Rian Johnson in March 2012.
Born | Rian Craig Johnson December 17, 1973 Maryland, United States |
Occupation | Director, producer, screenwriter |
Years active | 2005–present |
Awards | Sundance Film Festival Special Jury Prize (2005) Directors Guild of America Award (2013) |
Rian Craig Johnson (born December 17, 1973) is an American writer and director, who won the Special Jury Prize for Originality of Vision at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival with his debut feature, Brick.[1][2][3]
Johnson also directed The Brothers Bloom (2008) and Looper (2012), and three episodes of the AMC series Breaking Bad—"Fly," "Fifty-One," and "Ozymandias". Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan stated that "Ozymandias" is the best episode of the entire series.[4]
Early life[edit]
Johnson was born in Maryland. He was raised in San Clemente, California, and attended San Clemente High School, where Brick was predominantly filmed. He then attended the University of Southern California and graduated from the USC School of Cinematic Arts in 1996.[citation needed] Johnson's first short film, Evil Demon Golfball from Hell!!!, which is loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart", was included as an easter egg on the Looper Blu-ray.[5]
Johnson's film career, as told to Robert K. Elder, author of The Film That Changed My Life, was largely inspired by Annie Hall, "a film that broke so many rules in terms of film narrative":
It moved me in a way that very few other films have moved me. That's something that, I pray to God, if I am able to keep making movies, I can only hope, twenty years down the line maybe, I'll be able to approach.[6]
In addition to his film work, Johnson is also a folk singer and banjoist. Some of his songs can be found on his website.[citation needed]
His brother is well-known music producer Aaron Johnson. His cousin, Nathan Johnson, composed the score for Brick, The Brothers Bloom and Looper. Rian and Nathan make up a folk duo called The Preserves. Other cousins, including Zachary and Marke Johnson, have been involved in design and illustration work relating to Johnson's films.[citation needed]
Made for just under $500,000, Brick is a crime drama starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Johnson has often said that he looked to the novels of Dashiell Hammett as inspiration for the film's unique use of language. While the film is classified as a film noir, Johnson claims that during production no references were made to film noir so as to focus the production away from reproducing a genre piece. Brick was released on DVD by Focus Features.[7]
The Brothers Bloom, Johnson's second film, is a con-man story starring Mark Ruffalo, Adrien Brody, Rachel Weisz, and Rinko Kikuchi. The Brothers Bloom was released in theaters in May 2009, and later on DVD by Summit Entertainment.[8]
Looper, Johnson's third film, began shooting in Louisiana on January 24, 2011[9] and was released on September 28, 2012 by FilmDistrict. Set in the near future, it has been described as dark science fiction, and involves hitmen whose victims are sent from the future.[10] The film starred Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Emily Blunt.[11] The film opened the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival[11] and the 2012 Palo Alto International Film Festival.[12] Looper was a surprise success at the box office.
Other projects[edit]
Johnson directed the video for The Mountain Goats' song "Woke Up New" in 2006. He is a professed fan of the band, and was asked to direct the video when bandleader John Darnielle noticed a reference to them in the credits for Brick: a song is credited to "The Hospital Bombers Experience," which is a reference to the Mountain Goats song titled "The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton." Johnson also directed a live performance film of the Mountain Goats' 2009 album The Life of the World to Come. The film consists of a single shot, depicting Darnielle performing the entire album on guitar and piano with minimal accompaniment. This film was screened in New York City, Chicago, Seattle, and Portland, Oregon upon its completion, and was released as a limited edition DVD on Record Store Day (April 17, 2010).
Johnson has made a number of short films, some of which are available on his website. His short film from high school titled Ninja Ko is available as an easter egg on the Brick DVD. The Brothers Bloom DVD features a short, Buster Keaton-esque silent film he made in college. After working with Joseph Gordon-Levitt on Brick, the two shot a short film in Paris titled Escargots. In 2002, he directed a short film titled The Psychology of Dream Analysis, which is available to view on his Vimeo account.[13]
In March 2010, Johnson announced on his website that he was directing an episode of the TV show Breaking Bad for its third season. The episode, "Fly," aired on May 23, 2010. This is notable in that it is his first time professionally directing a script that he did not write, which he has stated many times that he had no interest in when it came to film.[14] Johnson later directed a second episode of the show, "Fifty-One," which aired on August 5, 2012, and earned him a Directors Guild of America Award.[15] He directed a third episode of the show, "Ozymandias", which was highly acclaimed.[citation needed]
Johnson has also directed the episode "Manifest Destiny" of TV show Terriers.[16]

Click on "search", type in "HMB" or go to http://www.teoma.com type in HMB
It's a metabolite of the amino acid leucine. It's supposed to help prevent muscle breakdown but it doesn't do **** unless you use it really high doses.
I tried it in 98, its a supplement for cattle so they get meatier, if you buy the best you can find and combine it with creatine it will work well, absorption and combining it with creatine is crucial, add it directly to your creatine or blender drink, shouldnt need more than a gram. They still use it on cattle in Iowa. I intend to use it again myself.
Bobo recommends 6 g/day along w/ creatine (CEE best). He did say that it works synergystically w/ creatine.
I had used it in the past, stupid 250 mg caps, didn't see anything from it. But, I bought a kilo of powder from Bulk, and am going to see how this works.
You don't need anymore than 3 grams per day!. I have used it before at 3 grams per day with results. I purchased it from bulk. There is also an article about HMB on the bull. I linked it in another similar thread about HMB....I can't seem to find that thread. Anyway, just go to bulknutrition.com and click on the bull link then click on past issues and it will show you all the old articles. I think its called "HMB, as good as creatine?". You will find all you need to know about it in that article. Its a trustworthy author, and the article is fully referenced.Originally Posted by jmh80
3g of HMB a day does very little if anything at all in most users. When I use 6g and up, then I see results.Originally Posted by T-Bone
If you want to make the supplement companies rich and have money to burn, go ahead, otherwise and I do mean wise, use half as much HMB as Creatine (micronized), combined and you should be more than satisfied, you just dont need that much, you will only absorb so much of it anyway, the rest is excreted. After a week of regular dosing your cells will be soaking in it.
Read the article, like I said its fully referenced and I experienced results with 3 grams a day, but I'm not just guessing here. You should break up your doses to 1 gram each spread out within the day. If you take 6 you are just gonna excrete what you don't use. You don't need 6 and will not see any extra benifit over 3 grams. Here is the article. I linked it again in this thread just for you!.Originally Posted by DevilSmack

When you visit Memphis, you'll probably know already that there is some great Music History to be found there. And to make it all a bit easier and to make sure you do not forget anything, Memphis offers you the "Memphis Music Experience". This is a set of 5 tickets giving you entrance to the most famous/important/breathtaking/emotional/crowded/touristy (whichever is your adjective) "museums" Memphis has to offer. The MME consists of a visit to the studios of SUN and STAX. A tour at the Gibson Guitar Factory. The Graceland Platinum tour. And to top it off, entrance to the Memphis Rock and Soul museum. You can get the MME at one of the visitor centers. In total you'll save some $20 for these 5 tickets. And there is a visitor centre on the way to Graceland! Just off highway 55

Everything you need to understand or teach Sabotage (film) by Bessie Head.
A Woman Alone is a series of autobiographical writings by Bessie Amelia Head (1937-1986), who is widely considered to be the finest Botswanan writer of the twentieth century. Born the child of a wealthy South African white woman and a black servant who tended to the woman's family's race horses, Head's birth is apparently considered a scandal. In 1937 in Pietermaritzburg, Natal, South Africa, deep racism is a fact of life and so Head's existence has to be hidden. Head knows little about her family save that she is told as a little girl that her mother is mentally ill and has had a mental break down and that her mother shares her name.
At age twelve, Head ends up at an Anglican boarding school for black girls which changes her life. While not caring for the religion or discipline, she loves the world of books and spends much...
A Woman Alone: Autobiographical Writings Lesson Plans contain 116 pages of teaching material, including:

Thank you for your replies and good advice. The 'passing off' advice is much appreciated and has pointed me in the correct legal direction. I found some good information here and that may help anyone with a similar case. [bizhelp24.com...] A major UK magazine has just published an article on the unscrupulous company warning the public not to deal with them. This helps as evidence to support my case. I'm just drafting a cease and desist further to your advice. Your help is much appreciated. regards, bub

eBay Fashion App For The iPhone Further Entices Spending
The eBay Fashion App is quite streamlined and easy to use. You can easily search through eBay's auctions via special selection tools oriented to finding clothes and related matter. The menus and search tools are dead simple, and the standard eBay auction layout has been thoughtfully adapted to the iPhone screen. This means you can easily switch between viewing the item images, description, and auction information with out lots of scrolling.
Aside from enjoyable item browsing as well as details searches, the eBay Fashion App has some other interesting features. One is called the "Vault." Regular users of the app can learn about upcoming sales on select new items from certain brands. In the image above, there is an example of an upcoming Brooks Brothers sale, that is due to go live on a specific date. This is like an eBay version of a invitee only discount sale. During the sale period, you can view the items, and new sales are scheduled all the time.
The Closet feature is fun as well. You can use a small heart icon to save items and keep them in your closet. When viewing the closet, you can look through your saved items, and virtually put them together like you are choosing outfits to see how they go together. The system isn't terrible sophisticated, but is a fun tool for when you want to see how a top goes with a bottom, etc...
Because eBay wants you to use the app to buy items and bid on auction, the app is of course free. If you are keen on searching for new and old clothes, and other fashion items (really anything from shoes, to handbags, and watches), the app is ideal. Plus, while it is designed for the Fashion crowed, the app of course doesn't limit your searches to eBay's fashion items. I am pretty sure you can search anything on eBay with the app. Check out the eBay Fashion app here via iTunes.

Block of Discord
Three interpretations of modernist architecture
The so-called Manzana de la Discordia – the Block of Discord – is the most famous collection of modernist buildings sharing the same facade in Barcelona. This is the block located in Passeig de Gràcia between calle Aragó and calle Consell de Cent, and it is a fine display of the contrasts between the different architectural trends of the day.
At number 35 is Casa Lleò Morera, designed by Domènech i Montaner; a little further along you come across Casa Amatller, designed by Puig i Cadafalch; and finally, Casa Batlló, a work byGaudí.

Many engineers struggle to find the âpractice timeâ they need to be fully competent.
by Paul Goossens | Published September 1, 2013
Desktop Engineering's Managing Editor Jamie Gooch's editorial in the March issue, "Engineering Help Wanted," prompted me to share how many of the factors he describes have affected our own service business. To give this some context, Maplesoft has been developing tools for model-based design (MBD) and analysis for 25 years. But it has become increasingly apparent that the glory days of the 1980s and 1990s, when an engineering software company could pump out new products for consumption by a technology-starved market, are long over. Engineers are now drowning in "productivity tools." They are now much more interested in a complete solution than "better technology."
This has led us to provide a service offering as a complement to our tools -- training, application development, through to development of turnkey solutions. It's a concept that has worked well for us over the last decade.
However, in the last year or so, we have seen an explosion in demand for our services, to the point where our technologies are almost secondary to delivering the solution. Clients have an engineering problem, they need to solve it quickly and they really don't care what technologies are used to do it. Many of the driving forces in Jamie's article have contributed to this increased demand; the fact this has happened over the last couple of years as the economy starts to recover from the "Great Recession" has certainly been a major factor. There is now a major skills shortage in our business area that is very difficult to reacquire.
But there are other factors at play to consider. Global competitive pressures are forcing many engineering companies to re-evaluate their own design practices to improve product reliability, speed up time-to-market and, of course, reduce costs. They are now learning lessons from industries that have managed to achieve this -- in particular the aerospace and automotive industries -- which have been the main adopters of many technologically driven design practices such as MBD. The ability to develop high-fidelity "virtual" prototypes to help identify and address design flaws has been a major accelerator within their design processes. Other industries are also beginning to incorporate MBD -- and tools like ours -- into their own processes. Of course, it's one thing to have the tools to do this, but it is another to have the skill set to implement them.
Advanced Tools Require Training
The good news for late adopters of any technology is that all the mistakes have been made, and most have been fixed. This is particularly true for MBD tools, where engineers can now access enormous mathematical power through intuitive, polished and robust user interfaces. However, even with advanced tools that ease the process, the development of engineering system models still requires highly skilled people to carry it out. Developing that skill set takes training, and concentrated, sustained effort on a wide range of applications.
To use a musical analogy: A guitar, no matter how expensive, is just a tool. It is relatively easy to learn some scales and chords to play it somewhat competently, but it takes years of intense practice to play anything like Eric "Slowhand" Clapton.
Because developing simulations of their designs is only part of what they do, many engineers struggle to find the "practice time" they need to be fully competent. Fortunately for them, companies like ours that offer such a specialized service are able to develop the virtuoso-level skills that can only come from constant activity in their chosen fields over a wide range of applications.
To touch on another of Jamie's points, paying for this level of skill for the duration of a project, and not when it isn't needed, is very attractive to many engineering managers. This is the main reason why clients are engaging us in increasing numbers. Of course, this introduces a whole new set of business issues in terms of defining projects, and bringing them to a successful conclusion. But success of a project, we have learned, is not just about satisfying the client: We have to aim for delight. This is as much about trust-building and managing expectations as developing the Statement of Work. (But that's a topic for another discussion!)

Mahie Gill is Mona Darling in 'Zanjeer' remake
Subhash K. Jha
[ Mon, Apr 9, 2012 ]
Mumbai, April 9 (IANS) Bindu's iconic 'Mona Darling' act in "Zanjeer" in 1973 is now being taken over by Mahie Gill, who admits the role is challenging but says she will pull it off.
Ajit had played the arch-villain Teja in the original; for the remake, Prakash Raj has been roped in. Southern actor Ram Charan Teja, son of superstar Chiranjeevi, will step into Amitabh Bahchan's shoes to play the Angry Young Man.
"I was initially apprehensive about doing the part. I wondered if I'd be able to carry it off. It was director Apoorva Lakhia who convinced me. Now I'm very excited. To recreate the original vamp 'Mona Darling' of the 1970s for today's audience is a challenge. And most of my scenes are with Prakash Raj who is a very good actor. I think I'll be able to pull it off," said Mahie, who recently wowed audiences with her bold avatar in "Saheb, Biwi aur Gangster".
The culture of an overweight seductress went out with Bindu. While Bindu got away with slit dresses and body stockings in "Zanjeer", Mahie, we are told, would be doing some heavy duty lovemaking scenes with Prakash Raj and would also need to get into better shape for a bikini.
"We definitely want Mahie's Mona Darling to go beyond Binduji. If Binduji became synonymous with the character in the 1970s, we want people to shout 'Mona Darling' at Mahie when she steps out," said Amit Mehra, son of Prakash Mehra who had produced and directed the Amitabh Bachchan starrer "Zanjeer". He was speaking on behalf of the film's producers - Reliance Entertainment, Adai Mehra Productions and Flying Turtle Films.
"Those times, when the first 'Zanjeer' was made, were different. Today, being sexy doesn't mean performing a cabaret in a slit dress. Mahie will have to be seen performing more horizontal acts with Prakash Raj. And she'll definitely be seen a bikini," he added.
Both Mahie and Prakash Raj, who is rather bulky, have been asked to shed kilos urgently.
Mahie's weight is not the only thing that goes from Bindu's Mona Darling act. The sizzling Asha Bhosle number "Diljalon ka dil jala ke" has also been done away with. Mahie was apparently most keen to dance to Bindu's number.
"We're doing an entirely new hip and slick club song for Mahie to dance to. With due respects to Helenji and Binduji, cabarets are no longer a part of popular nightclub culture," said Mehra.

"A diamond with a flaw is worth more than a pebble without imperfections," goes the ancient Chinese proverb. That same thinking might apply to China's stock market.
For a country that is expected to be an engine of global growth for decades to come, China has a long list of immediate concerns. The economy is slowing. Inflation is climbing. The real-estate market may be in a bubble. And charges of accounting shenanigans have soured some investors on Chinese stocks.
Those are some of the reasons why the MSCI China index has risen just 3% since the beginning of 2010, compared with 20% for the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index.
And yet, despite its many problems, now might a good time to invest in China. "At the moment, people are saying it's over," says Hugh Simon, manager of the Dreyfus Greater China fund. "But China still has growth potential."
Why take the plunge now? Even a struggling China is expected to see its economy expand by 9.6% in 2011, according to the International Monetary Fund. While that is down from 10.3% in 2010, it could account for more than 30% of the world's total. On average, the IMF expects the global economy to expand by 4.3% this year.
And the Chinese government is taking steps to stimulate growth further, from cutting taxes on the poor and middle class to funding public housing. That, in turn, should prop up construction spending and boost consumer spending.
U.S.-Listed ETFs Investing in China
Meanwhile, data suggest that China's consumer-price index, which rose to a post-financial-crisis high of 6.4% in June, may be cresting. China's money supply, known as M2, dropped to 15.1% in May, the lowest level since May 2005—an indication that less cash is sloshing around in the system and that inflationary pressures may be ebbing.
If inflation tapers off, China's stocks could get a boost. While rising inflation makes real profits worth less, and usually causes stock valuations to drop, falling inflation makes profits worth more and often makes valuations rise. Most famously, in the U.S., inflation fell for most of the 1980s and 1990s, and the stock market soared. Similarly, when China's inflation rate jumped from 3% in November 2003 to 5.3% in July and August 2004, the MSCI China index rose just 2.2%. A year later, inflation had fallen to 1.3%—and the market was up 24%.
What's more, while China's inflation rate is clearly too high, its 9.6% economic growth gives it more latitude to attack the problem via monetary policy. In the U.K., by contrast, inflation is running at a 4.5% clip, despite economic growth of just 1.6%. Even in the U.S., inflation is running at an uncomfortably high 3.6%, despite an economic growth rate of just 1.9%.
Likewise, China, like Europe and the U.S., has a debt problem. On May 31 China agreed to provide as much as $436 billion to cover bad loans made to local governments, an amount equal to about half of the U.S.'s Troubled Asset Relief Program of 2008. But China also has a trump card that others don't: $3.2 trillion in cash reserves, by far the biggest hoard in the world.
"There are bigger problems in the U.S. and Europe," says David Semple, director of international equity at money manager Van Eck Global. "I would be worried about those things, not what's going on in China."

Perhaps most important, the recent market slump has China's stocks looking cheap. The MSCI China index has a 12-month forward price/earnings ratio of 10.4, the lowest since 2009. The China index's P/E is now at about a 17% discount to that of the S&P 500. It hasn't been steeper since January 2009; over the course of that year the index returned 58.9%, more than double the S&P's 26.5%.
That isn't to minimize the risks in the China market. The biggest: Investors including hedge-fund manager John Paulson have been buffeted by a series of accounting scandals of Chinese companies listed in the U.S. and Canada. Mr. Paulson lost about $110 million on one such position, which he began accumulating in 2007 and sold on June 17. Mr. Paulson declined to comment.
So how to play China without getting burned? Here are some strategies:
• Buy dividend-paying stocks. One way to reduce the risks of accounting blowups wrecking your portfolio is to buy companies that pay dividends. A 2005 study of U.S. companies by Judson Caskey and Michelle Hanlon of the University of Michigan found that while the fact that a company pays a dividend didn't eliminate the chance of accounting fraud, it greatly reduces the odds.
If U.S. history is a guide, Chinese dividend-paying stocks could be especially attractive now. Dividend payments were one of the ways that U.S. investors knew they could trust the financials of U.S. companies in the days before the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and regulations requiring detailed financial disclosures, says Sam Katzman, chief investment officer at Constellation Wealth Advisors LLC in New York. "If they pay a dividend, it's an argument that they're not playing with their accounting," Mr. Katzman says. "That's where the U.S. was and that's where the Chinese are now."
Chinese companies seem eager to win investors' trust. Of the 147 companies in the MSCI China index, 89% pay a dividend. Despite making up just 12% of the MSCI AC Asia Pacific index market cap, China accounted for 28% of the total dividends paid out, only slightly less than Japan.
Some mutual funds focus solely on dividend-paying companies in China.

• Pick the right index funds. In most markets, buying an index fund can be the cheapest, most effective way to get market exposure. But because of the complexity of China's market structure—companies can be listed in Shanghai, which isn't open to most international investors, Hong Kong, Singapore and the U.S., among others—choosing an exchange-traded fund isn't a simple, or necessarily efficient, way to play China.
Investors in Chinese companies have a bewildering array of shares to choose from: So-called A shares, which are available only to Chinese citizens and trade in Shanghai and Shenzhen; H shares, which trade in Hong Kong; "red chips" that are traded in Hong Kong but are controlled by the Chinese government; and shares of Chinese companies that trade on U.S. exchanges as American depositary receipts, or ADRs.
Stocks of the same company on different exchanges can have wildly different returns, largely because the pools of investors are so different. Anhui Conch Cement Co. shares listed in Hong Kong, for instance, have gained 63% this year, while the company's stock listed in Shanghai, whose market is open only to Chinese, is up just 45%.
The upshot: Choosing the right index is critical. "There are hidden risks," says Aaron Gurwitz, chief investment officer at Barclays Wealth. "The index may do well but the fund might not."
The iShares FTSE China 25 Index ETF, for instance, owns the 25 largest Chinese companies listed on Hong Kong's Hang Seng exchange. But more than 50% of the portfolio is in the financial services-sector, which has the most exposure to China's debt problems.

• Invest in U.S. companies that do business in China. "Chinese accounting takes skepticism to a whole other level," says Stephen Tuckwood, senior financial analyst at Sanders Financial Management. "The safest way to gain access to economic growth in China is with U.S.-based companies with Chinese operations."

• Pay attention to where a company is listed. With A shares off limits, international investors should pay attention where a company's stock trades. For instance, Hong Kong has been the go-to market for Chinese companies looking to list beyond their home borders: In 2011, 62% of Chinese IPOs were listed in China, 34% in Hong Kong and just 4% in the U.S.
Why do companies come to the U.S.? For the most part, it is because they believe their shares will be valued more by U.S. investors than Asian ones. For instance, Internet companies like Baidu Inc. BIDU -3.31% Baidu Inc.

(The listings work both ways—luggage maker Samsonite International, a Luxembourg-based company, listed in Hong Kong in part because Asian investors put a higher premium on luxury goods.)
While Baidu has gained 1,643% since the end of its first day of trading in 2005, Chinese companies listed in the U.S. tend to underperform those listed in Hong Kong. The median five-year gain for a Chinese company currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq with a five-year track record has been 36.9%, compared with 60% for Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong. Says Van Eck's Mr. Semple: "The action is in Asia."

Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave told reporters Thursday that he has "not too much doubt" that running back Adrian Peterson will see the field on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
A one-of-a-kind athlete, Peterson has spent the entire offseason rehabbing from a torn MCL/ACL injury that he suffered back in December. Eight months later and it appears that the Vikings' go-to guy is confident that he's already ready to get back to football.
"I haven't had any doubts," Peterson said. "That's not the way I'm programmed. That's not the way you accomplish things, to have doubts. That comes from people around you, and that is what it is. That comes with it. I've been all positive and keeping my eye focused on what I said I would accomplish."
Although it appears more and more likely that Peterson will play, the Vikings will undoubtedly limit the number of reps that their prized possession gets. ESPN 1500's Tom Pellissero believes that Peterson won't receive more than 10 handoffs as the Vikings rely heavily on backup Toby Gerhart to carry the load.
Assuming everything goes well this week during practice, Peterson will be a game-time decision on Sunday. The Vikings already have a runner capable of carrying the rushing workload in Gerhart, though, so there's no rush for Peterson to re-enter the lineup.
The Vikings would benefit more from getting Peterson back midseason when he's at 100 percent rather than letting him play before he's physically ready and reinjures his knee. Still, it would be a near-miracle to see 28 tearing it up on Sunday against the Jaguars.
Only time will tell.

In absolute terms, the auction is being considered a failure for the Government, as it was expected to raise $3 billion rather than the $1.964 billion that was achieved. However, it was a windfall for the telcos, as they only had to pay just above the reserve price.
The 700 MHz spectrum band was previously used by soon to be obsolete analog TV services, while the 2.5 GHz band was used for wireless electronic news gathering, including video and voice links.
The 700 MHz band is considered more valuable for wide coverage, making it suitable for regional areas, while the 2.5 GHz band is considered best suited to high density metropolitan areas.
Vodafone Hutchison Australia was originally scheduled to participate in the auction which started on 23 April 2013 but withdrew.
Telstra was by far the biggest bidder, spending more than $1.3 billion on 120 MHz of bandwidth in both bands, while Optus took exactly half the amount spectrum as Telstra for $649 million. TPG secured only a minor share of the 2.5 GHz band for $13.5 million.
The results of the auction are summarised in the table below:

'The auction process itself ran smoothly and resulted in the allocation of spectrum to the companies that valued it the most,' said the ACMA's Chairman, Chris Chapman.
Demand in Clock Round 1 of the auction led to three unsold lots in the 700 MHz band. In the 2.5 GHz band, demand exceeded supply in the first round but reached equilibrium at the end of Clock Round 3, at which point the clock rounds closed. This level of demand during the clock rounds meant prices payable by bidders are only marginally above reserve prices.
'The auction tested the market and the auction's conclusion is another important step toward realising Australia's digital dividend,' said Mr Chapman.
'This decades-long process of spectrum reform has already transformed the television industry, delivering greater diversity and better technical quality of television services to viewers. It will be complete when the new licences in the 700 MHz band become operational at the beginning of 2015.'
'By making spectrum previously required for analog television transmissions available to meet rising demand for high-speed wireless broadband, the digital dividend auction will well position the Australian telecommunications industry to deliver fast, ubiquitous and symmetrical mobile broadband connectivity to consumers and industry,' Mr Chapman said.

HUNTINGTON - Punter Tyler Williams saw enough action Saturday in Marshall's scrimmage to let the fans know that he's alive, well and owns the tightest stranglehold on a starting position.
His attempts against a live rush included a 61-yarder, another of 58, one of 51 with eternal hang time and a 53-yarder that he didn't hit solidly.
He finished the exhibition with a 52.4-yard average. Any questions?
Only one - his back. He said he spent the summer in a rehab that kept a disc problem from becoming a disaster.
"It has its good days and its bad days, just like anything else," said the sophomore from Fort Wayne, Ind. "A lot of it, sadly, is weather - when it's colder, it's tighter; when it's warmer, it's better to be outside.
"I like to work out a lot, I like to run, lift weights a lot. A lot of it is staying active, keeping my back moving all of the time, not letting it get tight. Definitely, stretching it a lot and exercising a lot helps out."
There were more interruptions of scrimmage plays for field goals, and the news there wasn't always good.
Toward the end, the two kickers challenging Justin Haig for field goal duties missed twice each on 49-yarders - Amoreto Curraj and Nick Smith. Both have shown strong legs, and also stand to push (or overtake) Haig on kickoffs.
All three hit from 30 yards, but Haig hit the left upright from 35, then made the second try. The challengers needed just one attempt, but their day deteriorated afterward.
Haig hit from 42, then Curraj hit two of three from that distance. Problem was, his first attempt was yanked left, bouncing off coach Doc Holliday's office.

A.J. McLean from the Backstreet Boys has gone into rehab again ... TMZ has learned.
One source tells TMZ McLean has been "out of control" in the last few months because of substance abuse, and it was interfering with plans for the Backstreet Boys' upcoming tour with New Kids on the Block.
Sources say on a Backstreet Boys cruise last month ... A.J. appeared under the influence much of the time.
McLean has battled addiction for years. He was in rehab in both 2001 and 2002 for alcohol and cocaine abuse.
McLean made a cryptic reference on his Twitter account, writing on January 9, "I love u all and wish me luck! I start my sober journey tomm!"
On January 10, McLean tweeted, "See u on the other side!"
Video shot during a BSB cruise for fans last month shows McLean with what looks like a beer -- amber liquid with foam on top.
UPDATE: A.J. released a statement saying, "For personal reasons, I've checked myself into a rehab clinic. With 2011 being a busy year for Backstreet, I want to be healthy and perform & sing for people at my very best and happiest. None of this will affect our current tour plans and I look forward to seeing everyone really soon! Thank you for all of your support and respecting my family and friends privacy during this time."
Hey guys- leave AJ alone..i was on the BSB cruise last month, and yes he was drinking. I actually hung out with AJ a few times on the boat and trust me drugs was NOT a factor, its the alcohol he has a problem with. Aj is the sweetest guy ive EVER met, and i wish him all the best this year!
Oh TMZ- 1.) You're late. This is OLD NEWS. If you wanted this story, you could have gotten the information in the radio interview that he did with the Dope Doctor the day after the cruise docked in Fla. 2.) There is no need to refer to "amber liquid" or talk about "sources" discussing AJ's drinking on the cruise, or anytime during the past three years for that matter. Again, DO YOUR RESEARCH and check out the OPEN, HONEST interview he did, and he laid all of his personal demons out on the table.
You know what? KUDOS to him, because he is MAN ENOUGH to be honest, which is something most addicts can't do. And to all of you who haters, keep it comin-- this man is a better person than you'll ever be. AJ, congrats to you. You have thousands who love and support you, and who will be waiting on the other side. I am PROUD TO BE A SKULLEE! <3
Being a long time fan for many years, I want to commend AJ on realizing his addiction still exists and that he needs professional help. Unfortunately being in the music business you are surrounded by temptations that are hard to resist. He has a wonderful support system that will help him thru this rough period in his life. Looking forward to seeing him and the rest of the group in June.
This guys a mess. Always has been always will be. He has never benn "SOBER". He is full of stuff and if he wants to get better he would listen to people AA. So expect him to die if he doesn't change.
What I never understood is computer s@*t talkers!! If you're not a fan or if you're not here to wish him well why even bother to comment at all? I'm not saying you have to like BSB's music, I mean to each their own but damn, you haters sound so jealous, jealous of the career he has had, and still has...never in your wildest dreams will you have the success he has or the money he has...you will never travel the world and perform for sold out crowds, you will never break musical records or have one of the top selling albums of all time and TMZ will never cover a story on you! Damn how sad is your life if you gotta post negetive things about someone you don't know?!?
As for AJ, get well soon, all your fans are rooting for you!!
The prob is people see this as a failure cos he's going back to rehab a 3rd time but he was sober for about 3 - 4 years.
Massive achievement!! Good luck to him on the next phase. AJ's isn't Lindsay Lohan because he wasn't forced into rehab by anyone other than himself so grow the hell up people. this is a person's life not just a celebrity. Maybe if people were nicer in the first place there wouldn't be so many people turning to the bottle.
James-Really? Addiction is a disease and he is most likely going to rehab for alcohol. So many people drink alcohol--he was probably more prone to becoming an addict. Lay off.
And neck tattoos=trashy? That's your opinion. My opinion: tattoos=sexy.
I'dtapthat-Must feel good to call someone a "dum a$$" when you can't even spell DUMB or you're.
I agree Kay and Shannon. I have front row and he's the main reason I'm going to be honest...lol
Good luck AJ! Your fans are rooting for you and I am glad that you chose to seek help before you hit the road again where it would most likely get even more out of hand. We love you and good luck in your journey to stay sober again!
This is an ongoing problem for AJ. It's not something that started over the past weeks or months. This has been going on since the last time he got out of rehab. He didn't just fall off the wagon recently. He fell off the wag on a long time ago, and he's never been back on it. I've seen it personally. I feel bad for the guy, and I hope one day he finds whatever it is he's been looking for all this time. Good luck, AJ. I hope it sticks this time, man.
Oh, and for the record, AJ has to wear a clip earring in that ear, because some douchebag fan ripped his earlobe in half a few years ago, and it never grew back together. He can't wear a normal earring in it anymore.
I like your blog,Totally interesting also extraordinary blog.Give more pictures related to this topic.Thanks for sharing this http://www.mumzone.com.au/baby-names.php
First off A.J. has helped and made people happy all over the world. He has never hated on anybody, so how are people hating on him that dont even know him. Good luck A.J. Im a fan of you and pray that you get better.
Good luck AJ!! -Not a clip on earring. his ear is cut in half cuz a fan ripped an earring off his ear when she was trying to touch him.

"I ordered these on a Wednesday afternoon and received them on Saturday evening! Super fast!! Pleasantly surprised because I chose regular shipping of one week or more. The quality of the card stock is good, and the printing is crisp and clear. We chose to have a picture of our son on the back of the card, and it printed terrifically on the matte card. I'd order these again, and highly recommend this design as an alternative to the traditional red and gold designs for red egg and ginger invitations. Very cute and modern."
"I ordered these with the square corners and regular mailing size envelopes for my son's 3rd birthday party. They came looking exactly like the picture on the screen. I put a photo of my son on the back. It was pretty easy to do. I've already received compliments on them. The down side is no matching thank you notes."
"This card was so cute! I really liked that I could add my sons picture and it was really easy to create the card. The picture makes it a nice keepsake for family. I received many compliments. The order arrived much earlier than the estimated arrival date so that made it even better!"
"I'm so happy with these invitations. The animals on it are so cute. The paper is really thick. The quality is just great. The delivery was also very quick. I liked how I could write a little note on the back of the card."
"I searched for two days for the perfect birthday invitations for my mom's 90th! The celebration is at a Mexican Cantina and the colors of this card were perfect! Her smiling face looked fabulous and so cheerful! Can't wait to mail them!"
