BREAKINGVIEWS-EU's favour to Brown gives hedge funds a reprieve
– The author is a Reuters Breakingviews columnist. The opinions expressed are his own –
By Pierre Briançon
PARIS, March 17 (Reuters Breakingviews) – The unwritten rules of the gentlemen's club called the European Union have won hedge funds and private equity a reprieve. Sitting leaders naturally sympathise with a colleague facing a tough election battle. This explains why France and Germany, who are leading the charge to impose strong new regulations on the alternative investment industry, have agreed to kick the matter into touch until after the UK election, expected in May.
But the regulation-heavy camp will then still be faced with the same problem. Should it renew the fight for draconian rules, or should it seek a quick compromise with the UK, home to most hedge funds operating in Europe?
G7 wants banks to pay for rescue
By Louise Egan and Gernot Heller
IQALUIT, Canada, Feb 6 (Reuters) – The idea of a global tax on banks to recapture bailout costs gained ground over the weekend, boosted by the Obama administration's latest proposals, but there was no agreement on a specific design.
Finance ministers and central bankers from the Group of Seven rich nations called on Saturday for closer study of a UK proposal for a bank levy to cover the cost of the bailouts of 2008 and 2009 that ran to hundreds of billions of dollars.
The ministers, meeting in a remote town in Canada's Far North, said any tax that result must be internationally coordinated and avoid choking off world economic recovery. Further details are unlikely to emerge for weeks.
UK's Brown sees growing support for bank levy
By Keith Weir
LONDON, Jan 25 (Reuters) – British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said on Monday he saw growing support for some form of international levy on banks to fund support for the industry.
A global transactions tax, floated by Brown at a meeting of the Group of 20 nations in Scotland in November, was on the agenda when Treasury Minister Paul Myners hosted officials from G7 finance ministries, the IMF, World Bank and the Financial Stability Board in London on Monday.
"As a result of the advancement by U.S. President (Barack) Obama and the financial secretary Tim Geithner about their levy on wholesale lending, I think the proposals that I made at St Andrews for an international levy … are now gaining currency around the world," Brown told a news conference.
Britain's financial reform faces carve-up threat
LONDON, Nov 18 (Reuters) – Britain's opposition Conservative Party said it would ditch the core of a financial sector reform bill if it wins power next year, but lawyers expect other parts such as curbs on bankers' pay would be introduced.
UK gives impetus to global banks tax, U.S. doubtful
By Huw Jones
ST ANDREWS, Scotland, Nov 7 (Reuters) – Britain urged world governments on Saturday to consider a levy on banks to fund future bailouts, departing from long-held opposition, though there was little sign of the consensus needed to make it fly.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown raised the idea at a weekend meeting of Group of 20 financial leaders in Scotland — ending London's resistance to such moves on behalf of its huge financial sector.The United States, key to the success of any global initiative, rejected a tax on day-to-day transactions, though it left the door open to other ways to protect taxpayers from losses. Canada was also lukewarm.
"A day-by-day financial transaction tax is not something we are prepared to support," U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told reporters.
Merkel to G20: regulation before rebalancing
Support builds for rebalancing world economy, China may balk
WASHINGTON, Sept 22 (Reuters) – Support grew on Tuesday for a U.S. plan to build a more balanced global economy and leaders warned against returning to business as usual once recovery takes hold.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said there was substantial support among the Group of 20 nations for creating a new framework aimed at shrinking surpluses in export-rich countries such as China and boosting savings in debt-laden nations including the United States.

Great Dress
Par Diva
de Alberta
I was looking for a nice red dress but unfortunely this one was sold out. However, after watching the video with Cojo and the models, I just had to try the dress in black. I was not dissappointed, fit beautifully and felt very feminine. Great material, not flimsy. Now I just hope it comes back in the red. Love it!

Par Monica

Just received this "Victoria Beckham" style dress ... FABULOUS ... only thing ... Cojo, would you consider making this "neck line and length" with a 3/4 arm or full length sleeve? ... Would buy one in every colour ... perhaps you could do a few in Cobalt Blue, Lavender and/or Smokey Quartz Brown, etc. ... LOVE LOVE this classy and sexy length ... FINALLY someone who knows what women want and look good in! Kudos to you ... keep going ... can't wait to see what you come-up with next!Best,Monica

Not happy with this dress at all, the neck line does not lay flat at all. Sticks up like 2 wings. I am a big busted women and the dress looks awful.. Too me it needs more interfacing, I'm surprized that Cojo did not notice this......

Par Diva D
de Calgary, AB
I purchased this dress and wore it to church on Christmas Sunday. It was a great fit and very flattering. The only draw-back is, there's no zipper on the dress; so that made it a little tricky getting it on without messy up my hair. Otherwise, loved it

text: My carp technique is very relaxed. Here's the step by step procedure:1. I go out to my favorite carp spot and chum with corn and bread. 2. I leave the spot for about a half hour, and then come back with my fishing tackle, a rod holder (one that you mount into the ground), a folding chair, and my bait (corn or bread).3. I set up my rod holder and cast my bait out several feet from the shore (you don't typically need a long cast).4. I set down my rod into the rod holder and set up my chair (set up your chair in reaching distance from your rod holder).KEEP WATCH OVER YOUR ROD! A bite usually comes in 5-15 minutes.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- People who like to fish for catfish might end up catching a little something extra this year.
West Virginia fisheries workers have tagged hundreds of catfish this spring. The tags, little plastic tubes attached to the fishes' backs just behind their dorsal fins, will tell biologists how frequently catfish get caught and will give officials a better idea how to manage several catfish species.
Similar studies have been performed on largemouth and smallmouth bass, hybrid striped bass, all three trout species, sauger and walleye. Information from those studies helped Division of Natural Resources researchers to better manage all of those species.
This year's tagging effort focuses on catfish in the Ohio River and in state park lakes.
The Ohio River study involves channel, flathead and blue catfish. The state park study involves the catchable-sized channel catfish the DNR stocks in park lakes and ponds.
Each tag carries a unique number that will allow biologists to trace the fish from its initial capture or stocking to the time an angler catches it and reports the tag number.
Ohio River tags are yellow. From them, DNR officials hope to determine the rate at which anglers catch each of the river's three catfish species, and determine how far each species moves up and downstream.
State park tags are green. Biologists hope they will yield a clear picture of how often stocked channel catfish are caught, which in turn will tell them whether the stocking program is succeeding.

Consolidated Data: Turns Information Into Intelligence
Data has been fragmented across media channels making it impossible for you to establish a consolidated view into:
- Who your customers are
- How often they're engaging
- Which channels they're connecting with
- What each customer's value is to your brand
Our Analytics suite gathers all engagement, social and purchase data and attributes it directly to an individual. In addition, we provide answers to critical growth questions such as:
- What channels and content are driving the highest conversions to sales?
- What customer behaviors are indicative of higher spend levels?
- Which customers are pulling away from your brand?
- What should your cadence of communication be to keep them engaged while maintaining their loyalty?
Multi-Channel Engagement
Beyond attributing multi-channel engagement to a single individual, we capture data and provide analytics that tie engagement data directly to its impact on the bottom line. You can now get answers to questions such as:
- What content and channels are responsible for the most significant increases in purchase behavior?
- How effective are specific marketing efforts at both driving engagement across channels and encouraging people to join your loyalty program?
- What demographic and geographic factors are most strongly correlated to channel-specific engagement?
- Which channels are driving deeper and more frequent brand interactions?
By providing a consolidated view across channels, marketers can better assess their specific media and channel strategies holistically—and that's what everyone's been waiting for.
Return-On-Investment – Finally!
We provide a real-time view into the ROI that's driven by our platform. Because we're tied directly to your various points-of-sale, we compare the average order size of your loyalty program's members to the spend of customers who are not members. Finally, you can see the impact of your loyalty efforts and loyal customers as well as quantify the value of your investment in our platform. To learn more about the amazing ROI we're delivering for our clients check out our results.
Social Influence & Social Insights
Our social analytics provides robust insights into the social connections that are most relevant to your brand and your business. Whether you want to know which social activities are tied to the greatest increases in sales or who's driving lifts in awareness, acquisition and influenced spend, we track it all. We assign each member with a score that identifies how influential they are at driving brand engagement across their social spheres. Aggregated data from sites such as Facebook, Twitter and foursquare, combined with brand-specific engagement and spend-level data provide further insights into:
- What other brands and pages your customers are interested in
- Who's responsible for driving the greatest social impact for your brand
- What social activities and content are driving sales
- Who your biggest fans are
- How many social impressions are being delivered for your brand
- And much more…
Measuring the Bottom-Line Impact of Individuals
We look at the bottom-line impact of every member in your program and assign them with an impact number based on a proprietary series of calculations that account for:
- the direct spend of an individual
- the frequency of their spend
- the spend they influence from across their social sphere
This score can be used to segment your most influential customers and build influencer-based marketing strategies that will continue to move your business, not just drive engagement.
Commerce & Cross-Channel Attribution
A platform is only as powerful as its ability to impact the bottom line. Our Analytics suite ties every program member's action across your brand's channels, social efforts and mobile apps directly to sales. Now you can assess which channels are driving spend and understand how changes in channel engagement are impacting sales. By being able to attribute everything back to the financial impact it has, you can prioritize your efforts and ensure you're investing in ways that consistently move your business forward.

Former Wickes and Iceland CEO Bill Grimsey will today present his Alternative Future for the High Street review to ministers and business leaders at parliament.
This report aims to address the failings of the Portas Review, which managed to almost completely ignore the part that the web and digital technology has to play in offline retail.
Bill Grimsey's report places digital at the centre of his plan for the recovery of the UK's high streets, with the idea of 'Networked High Streets'.
Bill Grimsey's research further supports Econsultancy's own research on How The Internet Can Save The High Street, which we published last year as a kind of antidote to the Portas study.
I've been asking Bill about his report, how technology can be used in future high streets, and how his report differs from the Portas Review...

by Graham Charlton 04 September 2013 09:50am 1 comment
I was both delighted and dismayed to read last week about the creation of the government led, Future High Streets Forum.
If you haven't heard about it, the forum brings together leaders across retail, property and business to 'advise government on the challenges facing high streets and to help develop practical policies to enable town centres to adapt and change'.
Sounds fantastic I thought. Clearly, the high street is suffering. We've seen a number of big name casualties over the last couple of years (and many thousands of smaller independents go under that receive little or no publicity). A walk through my home city of Brighton provides evidence enough that all is not well with the high street with boarded up properties aplenty.
Therefore, a group that includes high-level representatives from the likes of Alliance Boots, Costa Coffee, John Lewis Partnership and The British Retail Consortium, with a remit to 'focus on future high street renewal', must be a good thing.
But then I read the fine print…and sighed…heavily.

How many times have you walked past a shop window to see a mannequin with only one arm and clothes draped haphazardly?
This has become an all too common sight on today's British high street and one that today's consumers are more conscious of given the increasing online retail market.
Smart retailers need to do more to enchance the in-store experience for today's tech-savvy shoppers.

Whenever Richard Cory went down town, We people on the pavement looked at him: He was a gentleman from sole to crown, Clean favored, and imperially slim. And he was always quietly arrayed, And he was always human when he talked; But still he fluttered pulses when he said, "Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked. And he was rich, — yes, richer than a king, — And admirably schooled in every grace: In fine, we thought that he was everything To make us wish that we were in his place. So on we worked, and waited for the light, And went without the meat, and cursed the bread; And Richard Cory, one calm summer night, Went home and put a bullet through his head. |

the comforter set is Ok.. not what i was expecting .. the threads on the comforter are not sawed professionally and its sticking out , it make it look cheap.. this is wedding gift so i just hope my niece likes it it's all about her liking it ..
Very good prices & beautiful comforter!
It was harder to place the order than to find comforter. Really can't review until I receive the items.
I think I was expecting a little more in terms of the quality of feeling in this comforter. It feels stiff at first, and I wish you could take the comforter out of the casing. I've had it for a week now though, washed it once, and it has grown on me. It doesn't feel "crunchy" anymore and the underside of the cover is very soft. I gave it 3 stars because I think for $100 you can find a much softer comforter, but it does look real nice when you have guests and your room is all dolled up.
Bought this for our guest room, was so impressed with it that it is now in the master. Rich and thick, great quality, yet very light. Great Value for the price.

Poured a chilled 22 oz bottle and watched a nut brown elixir stream into the glass.
Aroma of an atypical barleywine with some nice boozy burbon and woody gorgeousness to it.
Slight white head - almost none.
First mouthful gave a full bodied thickness and a slight sweetness which then turned to a somewhat boozyness followed by a moderate bitterness. This is like a cross between a barleywine and an IPA as there seems to be a fair amount of hoppiness. All in all, it is a very unique treat and definitely worth the purchase. In fact it's worth getting a few more bottles to cherish time and again with good friends.
Highly recommend this beer. You will not be disappointed.

On tap at toronado sd. Not to be confused with evil twin Freudian slip. Pours a blend of deep red and lighter amber, slightly translucent with a quickly disappating head but a foam ring remains around the glass, leaving lacing. Smells sweet, bourbon up front with that lovely toasted coconut and toffee aroma characteristic of ba barleywines. Taste has all that but with a hop bitterness and the present but pleasant boozy burn to accompany. Maybe a slight hint of piny hop flavor. Very bourbon forward and toasted coconutty, which Is exactly what I love in a ba barleywine. Toffee, caramel malt sweetness. Sweet, but the sweetness gets layered amongst the warm booziness and hop bitterness so as not to seem burdensome. I'm guessing 10-11% abv. Booziness Detracts from the drinkability a bit, but is not hash or solvent-like. My first beer from a brewery I know nothing about, and I am impressed.

Attractive dark coppery amber in the snifter. A fine foam, creamy mouthfeel, and plenty of lacing in the glass. Big vanilla flavor and aroma is really nice. Hot with alcohol, but it's part of the pleasure in this case. It's really a mixed drink.
Lots of malty richness with a smooth blast of booze. A sweet note but a dry finish. The hops are fragrant and just bitter enough to give it an edge. The best kind of caramel flavor, like a high-priced candy with a shot of bourbon in the center. Every sip is a pleasure with this stuff. From the 22 oz bottle bought at Baron's Market on West Point Loma Blvd. Price was $14. A great beer if you have the bucks.

Bottle pour for New Brew Thursday's 3rd Anniversary event held at Beachwood BBQ & Brewing in Long Beach, CA.
Pours a clear copper with a foamy khaki head that settles to a small cap on top of the beer. Foamy rings of lace line the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, vanilla, bourbon, and wood. Taste is much the same with a woody and bourbon flavor on the finish. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer with a decent barrel aged presence.

Roundup: Face Savers
Saving Face: Bluetooth Headsets Skew More to Cool Than Tool
- $50 to $130
- · Roundup:
Reviewed by Daniel Dumas

- Categories: Mobile Audio, Mobile Phones, Roundups
Strapping on a Bluetooth headset doesn't have to mean casting off dignity. We put 4 to the test to find which skew more cool than tool (you know, relatively speaking).
1. Aliph Jawbone Icon
Headsets don't have to be hideous. Just ask Yves Béhar, whose handsome design for the original Jawbone has been further refined in the Icon. It sounds great, too: Noise filters eliminate virtually all external racket—wind, gunfire, loquacious hobos. The folks at Aliph are also apparently BFFs with Apple; a separate battery indicator for the headset appears onscreen when you pair an Icon with an iPhone.
WIRED Syncing requires zero thinking. Got a BlackBerry and a Nexus One? Icon can be paired with both simultaneously. Four solid days of battery life. Fits perfectly in ear despite lack of pinna-anchoring loops.
TIRED Sticky rubber earpiece gets dirtier than ODB's debut album.
$100, jawbone.com
2. Plantronics Explorer 395
Plantronics has serious geek cred. Neil Armstrong wore one of its headsets during the 1969 moon landing. Too bad the Explorer 395 has all the visual panache of the crew in Mission Control—you know, short-sleeved shirts, black glasses, and pocket protectors. But solid audio quality makes up for the weak design. In addition to the usual digital tricks, Plantronics' engineers created a specially shaped mic port to mask outside noise. It picks up voices perfectly while ignoring anything short of a hurricane-force gust.
WIRED More lightweight than Heidi Montag's summer reading list. The price is right, Bob.
TIRED Houston, we have a fashion problem—makes you look like a pre-bubble I-banker.
$50, plantronics.com
3. Motorola Endeavor HX1
This whopping, tanklike hunk of plastic requires Paganini-level fiddling to position correctly in your ear. But once inserted, it operates like a sonic sponge, soaking up every sound within 40 yards. It offers some cool features, too. Passing on trade secrets at work? Just hit a button to activate stealth mode, which captures vocal vibrations and translates whispers into (somewhat garbled) speech.
WIRED Stealth mode makes you slightly less annoying on public transit. Low on juice? The HX1 gently chirps a reminder in your ear.
TIRED Flimsy ear loop barely supports the headset's bulk. Burns through battery life: Even Emperor Palpatine didn't have this much appetite for power.
$130, motorola.com
4. Jabra Stone
Most Bluetooth headsets are Frankenstein monstrosities of rubber and plastic. Not the Stone. This little shaving of sheer elegance has no moving parts and nestles into your auditory canal rather than violating your ear. But awesome design is where the good stuff ends. The Stone choked on nearly every task we set for it. Syncing stinks, battery life is anemic, and audio is as mellifluous as a blender filled with tenpenny nails.
WIRED Superb packaging. Egg-shaped charging base is as pretty as the headset.
TIRED Most of the outward-facing side of the Stone is one big End Call button. Press it by accident and you'll cease transmission. No charging port on headset—you have to plug into the base station to juice up.

EasyJet has been accused of discrimination over its refusal to allow two female wheelchair-users - one of whom was travelling to her son's funeral in Portugal - to fly unaccompanied. Photo: AFP
EasyJet goes to court in France this week to fight two separate legal challenges by disabled passengers who it refused to fly, in the latest accusations of discrimination against the budget airline.
The British company is being challenged over its refusal to allow two female wheelchair-users - one of whom was travelling to her son's funeral in Portugal - to fly unaccompanied.
The airline has argued that it acted for safety reasons, and in compliance with British and European laws.
The first case, to be heard Monday in the Paris appeals court, dates back to March 2010 when Marie-Patricia Hoarau boarded an EasyJet plane from Paris to the French Riviera city of Nice.
Hoarau, who has been in a wheelchair for decades following a mountain bike accident, had travelled from Nice to the French capital the previous day without any problems.
But this time round, cabin crew asked her whether she could get to an emergency exit on her own. When she said no, they told her she had to be accompanied by someone.
A pilot travelling on the same flight agreed to step in and sit next to the 39-year-old, but the airline's management said this was not adequate and ordered the captain to disembark Hoarau.
Hoarau later took another flight, saying she was "humiliated and rejected", but she decided to take EasyJet and the captain to court after contacting France's disabled association APF.
In May 2012, a French court let the captain off but fined the airline €5000 ($7600), and ordered it to give Hoarau an additional €5000 in damages.
The British company appealed the verdict, saying it was in compliance with British law when it refused to let her board for security reasons.
The second case, to be heard on Thursday in the Paris suburb of Bobigny, involves another wheelchair user who was refused onto a flight from Paris because she was travelling alone.
She was forced to buy a last-minute return ticket with another company to get to her son's funeral in Portugal.
This is not the first time that EasyJet has been taken to court over allegations of discrimination.
In January last year, a French court fined the airline €70,000 for refusing to allow three wheelchair users to board its planes between November 2008 and January 2009, in what a lawyer for the plaintiffs said was a "landmark ruling".
