Frugal Living Tip – Discover Where Kids Eat Free
Children may be priceless to their parents, but the cost of raising them can be calculated.
According to the BabyCenter calculator, a baby born in 2010 to a Midwestern middle-income family will cost more than $230,000 to raise and send to a public college.
So moms, dads and other adult caregivers can surely appreciate any Frugal Living tips that help them whittle away at that hefty bill while simultaneously enjoying a dinner out and freedom from cooking and doing the dishes.
Here is where the Internet comes in handy with sites like Kids Eat For (available via app on iPhone and iPod Touch) and KidsMealDeals.com giving you zip code searchable information on restaurants where children eat for free or get dining discounts.
Kids Eat For advertises itself as the largest and most accurate collection of listings where children eat for free or get special meal deals.
Since meal specials can depend on the day of the week, clicking on any Kids Eat For city brings up a calendar with top meal deals for Sunday, Monday, etc. In Philadelphia, for example, there are 27 listed Sunday meal deals. You can click links at the bottom of the calendar to see all the meal deals for any given day. Check back often because deals may be time-sensitive. For example, a Boston Market kids-eat-free deal was shown as expiring three days after we checked the site.
It looks like Kids Eat For may indeed have more listings than some of its competitors. For example, KidsMealDeals.com did have the Boston Market deal listed on its site for Philadelphia, but it lacked listings for some of the local restaurants featured at Kids Eat For. The difference could be attributed to the fact that KidsMealDeals.com returned results only for Philadelphia proper, whereas Kids Eat For showed deals in the greater Philadelphia region. (You can get around this geographical limitation at KidsMealDeals.com by searching within the radius of a particular zip code.)
Of course, Internet sites are constantly changing. No doubt both these players will seek to improve their offerings and new competitors will enter the market. For example, a different site called Kids Eat Free (searchable only by state) seems to rely more on user-submitted content.
Want some more choices? You can also try searching the listings at My Kids Eat Free or Coupon Divas' list of places where Kids Eat Free. Another good idea is to look at online forums such as the one at Mommy Savers where site visitors contribute suggestions for places where kids eat for free. (Be sure to check the dates on some of the forum contributions though because certain deals are for a limited time only…)
It's also important to look at the specific rules for each restaurant since kids' dining deals may be limited to a specific time or a specific day.
Do you regularly seek out special dining deals for your children? What's the best free or discounted kids meal deal you've ever encountered? Do you know another website or app that has good information on discounted/free meal deals for children? Share your tips in the Comments section below!

Small Business Advice – Developing a 'Free Soup' Strategy
Unless you have some sort of exclusive patent, chances are that your business competes on quality.
This means that whether you run a dry cleaning company, a restaurant, an office supply retailer or a gardening business, your customer has a number of choices on where to go to buy essentially the same product or service.
So how can you stand out from the pack? Obviously, you should stake your reputation on quality, friendly customer service, professionalism, good prices and so forth.
But in addition to all that, John Jantsch, author of the Duct Tape Marketing blog, believes you also need a 'Free Soup Strategy'.
For Jantsch, 'free soup' is shorthand for an unexpected bonus that exceeds your customer's expectations and leaves her not only satisfied, but so impressed that she raves about your business both online (email mesages, social marketing sites, review forums) and offline (conversations with her friends and family, casual recommendations to people who need a similar service).
In some cases, this unexpected bonus could literally be 'free soup'. That's what happened with Jantsch and his wife when they ate at a local restaurant and received a complimentary unexpected pint of soup to-go along with their bill.
In the comments section of his Duct Tape Marketing post, some of Jantsch's readers chimed in with examples of 'free soup' strategies they use themselves or have experienced as customers – a house inspector who gives his customers a free re-inspection, a web design company that provides its customers with a bonus favicon as a surprise at the end of the project, a home decor company that gives soaps and candles to its clients.
Your 'free soup' doesn't need to be expensive or elaborate, but it should relate in some way to the products or service you provide. If you sell bicycles, maybe you could provide a free 6-month maintenance offer that would have the added benefit of bringing your customers back to your store. If you do outdoor landscaping, you could give your clients a bonus potted plant for indoor use.
It's also important to know the surprise factor in the 'free soup' strategy. If you sell bicycles with a 6-month maintenance offer bundled in, that might be an attractive offer, but it's not exactly 'free soup'. 'Free soup' is giving the customer something unexpected after the purchase so that he or she feels a sense of satisfaction at getting what he or she has paid for and more.
What are some of the ways you go above and beyond expectations for your clients? Do 'free soup' strategies impress you as a customer? Tell us about your experiences on both sides of the 'free soup' equation in the Comments section below!

Frugal Living Tip – How to Get Rid of Credit Card Debt
Living beyond your means is always a bad idea — eventually the bills will get out of control and you'll find yourself facing a mountain of debt.
Credit card debt can be especially destructive. Miss a payment and your interest rate could skyrocket. But even if you make all your payments, making just the minimum necessary payment could stretch out your debt for years and pile up heavy interest charges.
(One blogger for The Paycheck Chronicles recently calculated that it would take more than 25 years to pay off $5,710 in credit card debt while making only minimum payments!)
So the best Frugal Living advice is simply to avoid credit card debt altogether. Don't buy something on credit unless you have the resources to pay the whole credit card bill when it arrives.
Of course, that's easier said than done — especially if you already have credit card debt. Then the big question is how to get out of debt fast – paying off your outstanding balances and reducing interest costs.
That's where a recent article on Cash Money Life comes in handy. Blogger Patrick boils down a get-out-of-credit-card-debt strategy into a series of easy steps including:
- Stop using your cards while you pay off the debt. You won't save your financial ship from sinking by bailing unless you plug the holes that are letting more water flow into the boat.
- Transfer balance to a 0% interest card. If you can a zero percent promotional rate from a new credit card, make the switch. You'll pay down your debt much faster if you can put a brake on interest charges for a little while. Just be sure to try to pay down as much as possible before the promotional period ends and interest rates kick in again on whatever debt you haven't managed to pay off.
Patrick's other ideas including getting organized, setting a budget and making multiple payments each period to pay off the debt just a little faster.
Of these suggestions, the budgeting one is especially important. If you don't have a budget, it's unlikely that you'll stay out of debt for long simply because you won't have a good handle on cash inflows and expenses. So take the time to map out how much you can afford to spend each month and then stick to living within your means.
Have any of these strategies worked for you? What approaches have you used to get out of credit card debt and stay debt-free? Share your ideas in the Comments section below!

Small Business Advice – Traits of Great Leaders
What makes a great business leader in your opinion?
The ability to inspire passion and excitement among colleagues and employees?
Amazing insights into what customers want and need?
An uncanny ability to discard background noise and identify important trends in the marketplace?
Adam Toren at YoungEntrepreneur.com polled his readers for their ideas on what makes a great leader and culled a Top 10 list of leadership characteristics.
His favorite was the one that a defined a leader as a person who "empowers his people to do their best by believing in them, guiding them and being an example."
Other readers said an exceptional entrepreneur should lead, earn the respect of his team members, demonstrate flexibility and not be afraid to take risks.
Looking for some other ideas on leadership? Business Pundit has 12 quotes from Hall of Fame basketball player and coach John Wooden. Highlights include "A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment," and "Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be."
Several business blogs, including Small Business Trends, are also buzzing over Susan Scott's Fierce Leadership book. From the reviews, it sounds like Scott makes the case that leaders need to employ radical levels of honesty and transparency in dealing with their employees. In a brief interview on Amazon's website, Scott notes argues that "If you want to become a great leader you must gain the capacity to connect with your colleagues and customers at a deep level."
Finally, in her Power Speaker blog, Suzanne Bates talks about leaders can use storytelling to share leadership lessons. Bates says that stories can be a great way to communicate such lessons – as long as leaders avoid telling stories that meander, are too vague or go on too long. The goal is to keep stories brief, clear and to the point. If you're having trouble developing the story, Bates suggests telling the story outline to a friend or partner who can ask questions and help you clarify the most powerful leadership lessons.
What do you think are the essential characteristics of a great business leader? What are some other leadership skills you admire in others or try to cultivate in your own leadership role? What are some of your favorite business quotes? Have you used stories as a leadership tool or been in the audience when a speaker delivered a great leadership story?

Frugal Living Tip – Use 'utility fruit' to save money
Supermarkets have conditioned us to believe that all fruits and vegetables should look perfect and pristine, shiny and round.
But in the real world (a.k.a. Nature), anyone who has a garden or a fruit tree know that fruits and veggies get bumped and bruised like the rest of us.
Often times, these slightly battered apples and tomatoes taste just as good as their prettier counterparts, but they can cost much less.
According to the savvy folks at All You, the key is to ask your grocer or local farm stand proprietor for any 'utility fruit' that may be hidden out of sight to keep up appearances.
Provided you're not too fussy and are willing to take out the paring knife to trim away any truly inedible bits, you just might be able to bring home your weekly portion of fruits and veggies for far less than you'd otherwise pay.
The 'utility fruit' plan may not be the best idea if you're putting together a fruit platter for a party or special occasion, but it could make especially good sense if you like to make fruit smoothies. After all, if you're blending up cut fruit with yogurt, ice and other goodies, who would know if the original strawberry or banana wasn't ready for its closeup?
How about some other ideas for using fruit that isn't quite ready for its closeup? If life gives you bruised apples, you can always make applesauce! Here's a recipe with appetizing visual instructions from Eating Cleveland.
And you don't need cosmetically perfect fruit to make banana bread, pear butter or peach jam! As the author of the Food in Jars blog points out, with a good paring knife, you can quickly cut around the bruised parts (as long as the fruit isn't too far gone) and make something delicious from ugly-duckling produce.
Of course, there are limits even in the pursuit of frugality. Work with a grocer you trust so that you can learn to tell the difference between harmless bruises and serious spoilage. Even frugal shoppers should put safety first. Remember that truly rotten fruit and veggies belong in the trash (or compost pile), not in your kitchen.
Have you ever tried the 'utility fruit' strategy? What other tactics do you use to keep the monthly food budget under control while still stocking up on nutritious and healthy choices? Share your ideas and experiences in the Comments section below!

Frugal Living Tip – Ditch the Disposables
Rumor has it that some rock stars only wear their clothes once before throwing them away.
Throwing out clothes after a single use sounds ridiculous. It isn't just tough on the environment, it's also a massive waste of money.
And yet this article at SavingAdvice.com makes the case that many of us practice the same economically foolish habits on a much smaller scale when we buy disposable paper towels, pack our lunch in paper bags or toss ordinary batteries into the trash.
Instead, we could use a washable cloth to clean up kitchen messes, carry our lunches in reusable tote bags and choose rechargeable batteries.
You may have to spend a little more up front, but choosing reusable over disposables (at least some of the time) can definitely save you money in the long term.
In fact, you can apply the same logic to other areas of your life and your business. Too often, we only look at the price tag when making a purchase decision. But sometimes the cheapest piece of furniture or equipment turns out to be much more expensive in the long run if it breaks easily or requires constant maintenance to keep running.
If you're looking for hard dollar figures, check out this article at Green Research showing that a company using 200 cups a day could save more than $2500 per year by switching from disposable to reusable cups. The more cups the company uses, the greater the annual savings it can realize by moving away from disposables, according to the Green Research article.
Of course, reusable products also have some environmental advantages over their disposable counterparts. The sidebar at the Green Starbucks blog quotes an internal Starbucks document to make the point that if 50 customers in every Starbucks store bought coffee for their own refillable mugs, Starbucks would save paper equivalent to 300,000 trees per year (using 2007′s worldwide store count).
If you want to get really clever – and save money in the process – keep an eye out for ways to reuse products that were designed to be disposable. Rather that throwing out plastic bags after you've carried your purchases home from the store, try reusing those bags to line your trash cans. If you're crafty, you can even turn a plastic water bottle into a miniature greenhouse for plant seedlings, as shown on the blog Pop Cloche.
Once you start rethinking the disposable mindset, you just might find opportunities to reuse almost everything – saving money and reducing waste at the same time!
What do you think? Have you found ways to save money with reusable products? Or do you prefer the convenience (and lower up-front costs) of disposable products?

Small Business Advice – Avoiding Common Website Mistakes
These days, pretty much every small business owner knows the importance of having a functional website.
But of course not all business websites are created equal. Some are better than others – and naturally you want your company's site to be among the best in its category.
You can go a long way toward creating a useful, functional and attractive business website simply by avoiding four common site errors that Lisa Barone identifies on the Small Business Trends blog -
1. Bad design. Your site doesn't have to look fancy, but it should look professional. Just as with the decor or signage for a brick-and-mortar store, you want to invest a little time and resources on your website to get good results.
2. Lengthy conversion funnel. The "conversion funnel" is marketing-speak for the process your site visitors go through when they want to buy anything through your website (presuming that you offer sales and not just information through your site). Barone is correct in saying that you want to make the purchase process as simple as possible. That's why sites like Amazon.com pioneered 1-click ordering for repeat customers.
3. Strategy before design. Think before you build. What are the major goals that you want your site to accomplish? Just as you wouldn't start building a house without having a blueprint and a plan, similarly you should have some detailed website objectives and strategy in mind before you start creating your business website.
4. Lack of dynamic content. Barone accurately points out that too many business websites have static content (address, phone number, basic information) that never changes. Your website gives you an opportunity to engage visitors and create some brand loyalty. Think of new material with which you can periodically update your site. If you run a restaurant, maybe you can post the weekly specials online or send out a recipe of the month to a list of email subscribers. If you have a pool supply company, you can create a blog with testimonials from satisfied customers, seasonal coupon codes or information about the latest and greatest pool supplies and chemicals. The exact content and techniques will vary according to your specific business, but the point is to publish new content at regular intervals that brings visitors back to your site for repeat visits.
How did you overcome these problems in building your own small business website? What content do you use to attract customers to your website for repeat visits? Tell your story and share a link to your site in the Comments section below.

Recently, we have noticed our 1x SDS running buffer becoming 'contaminated'.
It becomes thick, more viscous then our 10x stock or gooey/goopy. After running and transfering our gel, ponceau staining of the membrane shows a high background starting at the dye front and continuing to enter the gel throughout the run as though there is some sort of contaminating protein in the buffer. The 10x stock is fine and 1x is made in a clean glass bottle with autoclaved water and make in 2L batches which is not kept for more than a couple weeks at a time. 1x buffer is not reused.
What could possibly grow in SDS? Another lab that also works in the space has seen a similar problem. Does anyone have any idea what this might be?

It might be an unwanted chemical reaction. You can visibly tell if it's a microbial contamination. Viscosity would most likely be chemical carry-over? Since another lab in the same space saw the same problem, maybe it's the water source contamination or cleaning apparatus contamination. Autoclaves can transmit contamination of chemicals etc.
Our lab uses filtered Millipore water (the ones with the tank system).

Frankly, I don't see whats wrong with not have certain sized clothing being sold by your company.
As a pleasantly plump fellow myself, I often deal with scrutiny and weightism, and thats why I am trying to lose it. Nothing will change how society sees us overweight people, at least not that easily. ANd you know how to stop the discrimination? Be like me, lose the pounds.
And you know what else? So what if he doesn't sell certain sizes? Why should a person have to pay a bigger price for superficial designer clothing? Go to Walmart or, like some hipsters, a thrift store.
The unholy alliance of capitalism and social norms is why you people feel this way.

One of the fun things about school used to be writing compare and contrast papers on subjects and maybe that's what The Doors are offering in "L.A. Woman, the 40th Anniversary Edition." This two disc set has the original "L.A. Woman" album as it appeared in 1971, although the songs are remastered they're not the 2007 remastered/remixed versions.
The first disc is the "L.A. Woman" we all know and love and doesn't need to be reviewed 40 years on. "L.A. Woman" has been well defined, The Doors blues album, Jim Morrison's farewell ode to L.A. and a rock album that, without any hyperbole (or very little) was almost instantly a rock "classic" album.
The fun in listening to "L.A. Woman, the 40th Anniversary Edition" is disc 2 with the alternate takes, false starts, and the studio chatter between The Doors its clear they were having a lot of fun recording "L.A. Woman." In the alternate versions its interesting to see how the now classic songs evolved and sounded different, and even changed from take to take, Morrison changing lyrics and even his delivery between takes, and how musically even some of the phrasing was different from the final versions, especially in an album that was recorded within a short period of time. The addition of "She Smells so Nice", which sounds like a Grateful Dead jam and not a Doors song, but it's a carefree blues romp with absolutely no pretensions that segues into "Rock Me" a standard The Doors played a lot live.
If you don't mind the inclusion of another remastered album "L.A. Woman, the 40th Anniversary Edition" is a five star recommendation that you'll find yourself listening to years from now, just like the original.
Jim Cherry writes The Doors Examiner.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
The family of Elaina Steinfurth will hold a vigil to remember her on Monday, June 2. Monday marks a full year since the girl's father, Terry Steinfurth Jr., came to pick her up from Angela Steinfurth. Angela told Stephen his youngest daughter was not in the home, and later reported the girl missing.
The report set off a search which lasted months but eventually ended exactly where it began - 704 Federal Street.
Toledo Fire and Rescue dive crews searched the Maumee River for days after police say the girl's mother and her ex-boyfriend, Steven King, fed them misinformation. Both Angela Steinfurth and King were eventually arrested on obstruction of justice charges.
The investigation dragged on for months with what seemed to the public to be little progress. Then on September 5, Toledoans got the news they were simultaneously expecting and dreading. Elaina Steinfurth was dead, her body found in the rafters of Steven King's Federal Street garage.
MORE: Read the history of the Baby Elaina Case.
Police say it was King who finally broke, telling them where to find the little girl. Steven told police that he had placed his hand over the little girl's face, suffocating her after an initial injury.
Although she originally said she heard Elaina crying and then a thud when Steven was putting her to bed, Angela later recanted and said she was in the bedroom and saw Steven throw Elaina on the floor.
The next morning, Angela said Elaina was dead and Steven said he would "take care of her."
On December 3, 2013, Angela Steinfurth and King accepted separate plea agreements. King pleaded guilty to aggravated murder, tampering with evidence and obstruction of justice charges in the case. King was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years.
Angela Steinfurth, Elaina's mother, entered an Alford plea to a charge of murder. Steinfurth was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole after 18 years. An Alford plea is not an admission of guilt. A defendant entering an Alford plea agrees to be found guilty, but does not admit he or she committed the crime.
It has been a tough year for Richard Schiewe. His 18-month-old granddaughter was found dead and his daughter sent to prison in connection with her death. He says he is left with a broken heart but when in public, he is often greeted with criticism.
"They call me the baby killer because of my daughter. If they knew the whole story they might understand but they hear what they want to hear, they believe what they want to believe," said Schiewe.
Schiewe talks with Angela Steinfurth once a week.
"She's doing the best she can be doing right now. I know it's hard for her," said Schiewe.
The week leading up to the anniversary of Elaina's passing has been hard on the family who now only has photographs. Elaina would have been 2 and a half years old.
"We got all the pictures, a bunch of her toys downstairs. I look out at the swimming pool and remember her being in it a year ago," said Schiewe.
Elaina's family will hold a vigil on Federal Street Monday evening at 7 p.m. The public is invited to attend.
The area on Federal basically became a home-base and meeting spot for the dozens of volunteers who spent time looking for Elaina. The family says they hope the vigil raises awareness about child abuse.
"This was a baby and it should have never happened. I know this isn't the first one and it probably won't be the last one but we just want people to know things like this do happen and you know child abuse has to be stopped," said Dan Clay.

The layout on the Li page is perfect for news and political bloggers... with the installation of of what ever widgets and feeds the blogger put where, each would become unique.. but similar enough to the paper li readers would feel they were on the same site when they went from one to another... Personally I'd like to see 3 feature loops, one in the current feature area above the Video bar, from there items would migrate down to the area occupied by the Politics, Society and World pages..

Leave the Picture and Video bar.. and the rest of the grid intact..

1. URLs. Your paper will show the URLs of links tweeted within a time range ( 12 hours, 24 hours, 1 week) The more content tweeted with links, the more displayed on your paper

2. Query: If a paper is based on a search query, then sometimes the query needs to be refined. We recommend checking the query with Twitter Search to see how many content rich links you are pulling up. If it looks good there, it should work for Paper.li

3. Broken links, time outs : Indeed at the time of an update something can go wrong; there can be a downtime, broken links, etc. We don't see this happen too frequently, but we also cannot rule it out.

I hope this helps and good publishing.Kelly at Paper.lihttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991939107380570463.post-86649506609303080892011-02-25T18:17:18.986+01:002011-02-25T18:17:18.986+01:00Love the work guys.

Having said that, here are a couple of things to remember;

-to ensure a query will work when you create a paper, we suggest you use the twitter advanced search function to test your group or query first.

-if you follow people, or set up user groups that are not generating tweets, there won't be any content to publish.

Looper may not have the bell-ringing resonance of Chris Marker's "La Jetée," one of its touchstones, but it's a jaunty match-up of genre and character drama that's far smarter and more finely wrought than almost anything else in the multiplexes.

The animation itself is technically gorgeous, a class act all the way.

The film also comes across like a rough cut that was never looked at as a coherent whole, and some segments that start off as promising become interminable while others feel entirely unnecessary.

Policy-driven EU Research Networks: Impact on the Greek S&T System
AbstractThis paper focuses on the impact of EU-funded collaborative research networks at a national level using a combined method approach, social network analysis and in-depth case study work. First, it examines the participation intensity and role of the Greek organizations in the research network established through the Information Society Technologies priority of the European Community's 4th, 5th and 6th Framework Programmes. Furthermore, it attempts to assess the impact of the IST research network on the diffusion and deployment of innovation in Greece. Some interesting results with significant policy implications arise: a) Greece exhibits high participation intensity in the EU-funded IST network, b) there are Greek organizations that have assumed an influential role in the network through time, in addition, they are also critical to the connectivity of the more peripheral Greek actors to the IST network, c) the value of the network, lies for the most part in indirect or 'behavioural' effects than in immediate project outputs measured in terms of commercialized products or services, d) however, while the knowledge obtained through the network assists organizations to gain better understanding of the market and identify future deployment opportunities this is not always possible due to the lack of sufficient infrastructure and national policies to support market introduction.

Chisora gets European title shot
By Dan Rafael
Dereck Chisora is hoping a shot at the European title lifts him back closer to world title contention.
The first time former world heavyweight title challenger Dereck Chisora of England fought for the European title, he was badly robbed in a split decision loss in opponent Robert Helenius' home country of Finland in 2011.
Now Chisora has a second chance to win the vacant title. Kubrat Pulev, who outpointed Tony Thompson in a world title eliminator on Aug. 24, has vacated the European title, paving the way for Chisora to face 25-year-old Edmund Gerber (23-1, 14 KOs) of Germany for the belt.
Chisora (17-4, 11 KOs) and Gerber will meet Sept. 21 at Copper Box Arena in London on the card topped by Billy Joe Saunders (18-0, 10 KOs) in a British middleweight title defense against John Ryder (15-0, 9 KOs).
The 29-year-old Chisora lost his shot at a world title in February 2012 via one-sided decision to Vitali Klitschko. Chisora hopes a win over Gerber will put him back in position to get another crack at Vitali's title or at his champion brother Wladimir Klitschko.
"Beating Gerber is another step closer to the Klitschko brothers and nothing is going to stop me winning the European title," Chisora said. "I'm fit, lean and mean and ready to do the business against Gerber, who is a good fighter, but not in my class. I really want do a great job on him, really smash him up and show that I deserve a shot at the Klitschkos.
"The titles are great. Winning the European belt will mean I've won the big three along with the British and Commonwealth, but the world title is the one I want."
After the controversial loss to Helenius, Chisora lost two more fights in a row (against Klitschko and a fifth-round knockout to former titlist David Haye). But Chisora has won two fights in a row as he heads into the showdown with Gerber, including a controversial sixth-round knockout of American Malik Scott on July 20.
Gerber's only loss was a decision to British journeyman Michael Sprott in December, but he won his most recent fight in March.

Introducing elected mayors in the north of England could prevent a "brain drain" from the region, according to a think tank.
A report by Policy Exchange says elected mayors would be better placed to attract technology companies to the North and create thousands of new high-tech jobs in the process.
The Chancellor, George Osborne, has previously backed the idea of introducing more elected mayors in UK cities, saying such a move would help create a 'northern powerhouse'.
George Osborne has announced the creation of a new Office for Unconventional Gas after an independent science panel gave the go ahead for the controversial fracking process, albeit under a tight safety regime. The Chancellor's 'dash for gas' has been criticised by environments who fear Britain will not be able to meet carbon reduction targets.
13/10/2012 in Europe & EU
The eurozone crisis, the US fiscal situation and a slowdown in emerging markets could usher in another global recession, George Osborne has warned a conference in Tokyo.
The warning comes as the IMF and eurozone reach a deadlock on how much of Greece's debt should be written down, with the IMF arguing £24bn writedowns will be necessary to solve the crisis.
Mortgage lending is still tight despite a rise in the number of approvals in July. Mortgages advanced to customers increased to 56,000, up 7% on June, according the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) said.
15/11/2012 in Energy Policy
George Osborne is putting pressure on David Cameron to drop some of the Coalition's green policies, including building more onshore wind-turbines, his father in law has claimed in an undercover video. A Greenpeace activist posing as an anti-windfarm lobbyist filmed Lord Howell and Tory MP Peter Lilley saying that Osborne used the recent ministerial reshuffle to "get people into key positions who could begin to get the Government off the hook from the commitments it made very foolishly".
07/10/2012 in Tax
The Government will take "further action" to ensure the rich contribute more towards paying down the UK's deficit, the Prime Minister and Chancellor have signalled.
In an interview this morning, David Cameron echoed George Osborne's insistence that the Coalition would not implement a 'mansion tax' or other form of wealth taxes.
He also played down the likelihood of changing the top rate of tax again, but he told the Andrew Marr Show: "We will make sure that the rich will pay their fair share, that the burden is evenly shared."
Speaking to Sky News today, Mr Osborne ruled out a mansion tax and annual wealth levy but warned the rich will have to make an 'additional contribution' in coming Budgets.
"I don't think either of those ideas are the right ones... we're not going to have a new mansion tax, nor do I think it's sensible to have a wealth tax."
Mr Cameron also confirmed the Conservatives would be looking at cutting the welfare budget further – something that Nick Clegg said he would only allow if there were corresponding measures to increase the contribution from the rich.
The Liberal Democrats are also likely to have been ruffled by Mr Osborne's comments to the Mail on Sunday that the demands for a mansion tax were based on "the politics of resentment".

An assortment of highly entertaining activities just for kids will be provided by Artists Babysitting!
Dances Patrelle (DP), now it its 24th year, is a dynamic professional ballet company that keeps the tradition of dramatic ballet alive and offers opportunities for young dancers to learn from and perform alongside top dance professionals. DP presents two annual performance seasons in New York: its holiday tradition, The Yorkville Nutcracker, now going into its seventeenth year at the Daniel Kaye Theater, and a spring season of original works created by DP's founder and director, Francis Patrelle. Mr. Patrelle has set over 50 ballets on the company, including works to the American songbook (Gershwin, Rodgers and Hart, Noel Coward, Jerry Lee Lewis, among others), and works to commissioned scores from contemporary composers (including Patrick Soluri and Rod Hausen).
Francis Patrelle is the founder and director of Dances Patrelle and is a master teacher at Ballet Academy East. Heralded by Lynn Garafola in Dance Magazine as a choreographer with "a personal vision...classical because it is rooted in metaphor and symbolic language [and] populist because of its legibility and broad cultural resonance," Francis is honored to have created work for ballet legends Marcelo Gomes, Maria Riccetto, Donald Williams, Lourdes Lopez, Jock Soto, Merrill Ashley and prima ballerina Cynthia Gregory, among others.

Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor(2013)
Tyler Perry makes two types of films: comedies and melodramas. He'll usually blend the genres to give his audience the most bang for their buck, but he's resolute in his directorial range, with "Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor" his most combustible picture to date, even out-heaving "For Colored Girls." A biblical parable dressed up as an unruly Perry extravaganza, the feature does a commendable job with fiery tempers and silky acts of seduction, showing signs of life as a cheap thrill for an audience more than happy to interact with the screen. Expectedly, Perry can't maintain the insanity for long, eventually drowning the effort in severity to make a chilling impression. Still, "Temptation," when it's just overheated and not apocalyptic, is engaging enough to pass, generating sufficient hullabaloo without taxing Perry's pedestrian moviemaking skills.
Bonding as children in the rural south, Judith (Jurnee Smollet-Bell) and Brice (Lance Gross) have grown into a married couple stuck in a rut of routine in Washington D.C. Frustrated with her day job at a millionaire matchmaking firm, Judith finds comfort in social media mogul Harley (Robbie Jones), a cocksure businessman who takes a shine to the stymied subordinate, a woman who's constantly berated for her plain fashion and Christian thinking by co-worker Ava (Kim Kardashian). While Brice holds down a simple job as a pharmacist, offering employment to jittery new hire Melinda (Brandy Norwood), Judith receives the full court press from Harley, who woos the married woman with exotic trips, fast cars, and a new wardrobe, pushing her to cheat on her husband. At first trying to cling to her moral upbringing, Judith quickly gives into the passion, growing obsessed with Harley as he plies her with drugs and drink, planning a marriage counseling business together. While her reverend mother (Ella Joyce) proclaims Harley to be Satan incarnate, Brice is a little slower on the uptake, gradually realizing that his safe, predictable marriage is being destroyed behind his back.
After returning to an all-time creative low with last spring's inept "Madea's Witness Protection," Perry issues a slow jam with "Temptation" (which was actually shot before "Witness Protection," but Madea is a sure thing), taking only a writer/director role, leaving the acting to a young cast who've clearly found time in their busy schedules to hit the gym. The screenplay details the misery of pretty people, but it's persuasive stuff for the first hour, hitting a few telenovela highlights as Judith is blindsided by Harley's lip-licking attention, watching the millionaire use his weapons of wealth, power, and shirtlessness to woo the married woman, luring her into a situation where the good Christian girl abandons her soul to be with the Devil and his exceptional bedroom skills. It's nothing daytime programming hasn't covered, yet it's interesting to watch Perry give the film over to such brazen manipulation without breaking for idiotic laughs or to issue a sermon. "Temptation" is played relatively straight, concentrating on Harley's evil-yet-enticing acts of attention and Brice's simpleton mistakes as a good man.
"Temptation" isn't subtle (Perry is incapable of such a thing), having Harley drive around in a red sports car and shove cocaine up Judith's nose (the harder edges of the picture have been softened to fit a PG-13 rating), and there's a hilarious showdown between the leading men during one of Harley's sinful apartment parties, where the hapless small business owner enters "Hell" (there's a roaring fire in the background and gay men are in attendance) to retrieve his zonked-out wife. Judith's God-fearing mother also factors prominently in the second half, identifying Harley's sulfuric-scented game while attempting to awaken her daughter's senses via prayer circle. It's campy but inoffensive, that is until Perry refuses to find a quick resolution to the story, padding out the ridiculousness for nearly two hours, also making time to deal with Melinda's tale of marital abuse and disillusionment. Also weakening the feature is Perry's feeble screenwriting, which barely makes an effort to organically peel Judith away from Brice, making the character sound like a moron when discussing her empty life with a fallible, absent-minded, but excessively kind guy when Harley is clearly a road to personal ruin. Even weirder, the first sexual encounter between Judith and Harley could legally be classified as date rape, though in Perry's warped mind, their airplane tryst is an act of submission where "No, no, please get away" actually means yes. Perhaps it's not the right message to put out into the world, but the filmmaker has made a fortune selling reprehensible behavior as gospel.
"Temptation" goes from a guilty pleasure to a drag in its final reel, with violence and shocking revelations employed to leave the audience dizzy instead of unsettled. Commendably, Perry follows through on harsh punishment for a few of the characters, though with all the exaggeration flowing through the effort, it's difficult to feel the true sense of moral equilibrium the director is aiming for. "Temptation" should've been left short and sinister. Embellishing the material with superfluous detail only manages to water down the movie's inviting soap opera decadence.
