A global assessment of the degree of price stickiness – results from the NBB business survey
AbstractIn this paper, we estimate the degree of price stickiness in Belgium using the NBB business survey. Compared to similar empirical exercises based on consumer or producer price data, the micro data set used allows us to cover most of the Belgian economy in one exercise and therefore provides a better estimate of the overall degree of price stickiness. Based on our estimates, 19.2% of prices are changed each month. In the manufacturing sector and the trade sectors, the frequency of price changes is close to 24.5%. In the construction sector the frequency of price changes is close to 20.5% and in the B2B service sectors it is almost 9%. Econometric analyses of the determinants of the sectoral frequency of price changes indicate, on the one hand, that the cost structure is the main explanatory variable of the sectoral discrepancies. On the other hand, we find that domestic competition does not seem to explain an excess or shortage of price changes at the sectoral level

I have an older DD as well, but if I offer a mani they love it! I use piggy paint, but only started that when older dd was 4 and DD2 was 2. I may use a little paint brush with water or something similar to keep it special.
my girls are really good about it.

I cut my son's nails (he's 27 months) when he's eating. I act like the scissors are hungry too, and that they need a snack. Usually they swoop in and trim a few nails on one hand and then he yells no, and then they "cry" and beg for more nails, etc. It takes a while, sometimes two meals before they are all trimmed, but it works out!
I've pretty much always done DD's while awake, she's 14mos, so she's more interested in the clippers now, but it's not a big deal - we sing the ABC's or she gets to read a book to me or we count her fingers as I go and it's enough to keep her still long enough to finish the job.
My DD is really interested in the names of the fingers, so we talk about that as we go along. I usually set a goal of only a few fingers at a time, so it's easy to accomplish and she sees how fast and easy this really is. Also, we have these baby nail clippers with lights, and boy does she love those lights. When she was younger, the lights made her LOVE nail clipping. I think that's why she's still so good about it now.

Seriously - this girl was betrayed and humiliated by someone she thought she could trust, had her personal life and sex life spread all over the internet, and rebounded to become one of the most famous people in our culture right now. You might say that Kim K and the kardashians are "famous for nothing", but you have to have some respect for a woman who completely turned that situation on its head and rewrote the script to prioritize her own agency. Our culture doesn't allow that for too many women, so let's not forget how impressive that is.
This is why you never talk shit about Kim K West
i love laughing about the friend zone because it's so dumb like you know most of those dudes aren't even IN the "friend zone" they're in the "ugh god not this dude again" zone
The best shit I'll read all week (via emlestrange)
The best ever response to the 'not all men!' crusade. If it's not about you, stop making it about you.
(via clementineford)
i like when people are like, "elementary isn't sherlock" because yeah, you're right! because if it was, we'd hear vague asian music playing every time lucy liu was on-screen
actual sherlock script
it's 2014. how is it so difficult to grasp the idea of feminism? do you think women should be treated and have rights equal to men? proper pay, respect, etc?
then you're a feminist.
that simple.
like… do people think feminism is a cult where we drink man tears and cut off dicks? i don't understand.

Just had lunch at Bogart's and loved it. The selection is great and, best of all, it is a quiet and very cool place -- perfect for summer lunch. The pecan crusted goat cheese salad with it's wonderfully light dressing is the best (and you just have to love the fresh beets).
Stop by and say "hi" to John for me -
Taken from www.worstpizza.com
Finally had a chance to go out with the wife alone on a sort of "date" the other night. We went to go see the movie Burn After Reading, which was playing at the Muvico Palace 20 in Boca Raton.
The movie was decent, but we were starving after it ended, and since Boca Raton doesn't have much in the offering of places to eat after midnight, it didn't look promising. When we were about to leave the Muvico Palace, we realized that this location has a full restaurant and bar upstairs, where you would enter for the Premier Seating section. This section is also known as the Lexus Premier Level.
Bogart's, which is a Rapoport's Restaurant, opened within the past year or so. I figured this would be the same kind of food which is served at the concession stand, so my hopes for a decent meal were not promising. When I saw pizza on the menu, I figured it would only be right to try a slice from a new place. Obviously, I knew I wouldn't be happy with it, since it was 12:30am, and once again I was at a movie theater.
When the pizza came out, I was pleasantly surprised by the appearance. When I took my first bite, I was in shock. The pizza was actually pretty damn good. It was super thin, and crispy, with tasty sauce (not too heavy) and some quality tasting cheese. The pie was cooked perfectly and was hot when served. I managed to finish the whole individual pie.
Bogart's, you managed to make me actually want to come back again. This is not something I normally say about pizza, especially when I was prepared for the worst. If you can consistently serve the quality and consistency of the pizza I had the other night, I might even come there without seeing a movie! I will give Bogart's in the Muvico, in Boca Raton 6 out of 8 slices.

Fund managers Edwin Miska and Clark Wagner prospered over the past year by sticking to their mandate: avoid risk. Their First Investors Total Return Fund, a balanced vehicle for which Miska picks stocks and Wagner bonds, gained 7.87% in the 12 months through March 8, versus the Standard & Poor's 500's return of 3.25%. But the value-oriented, income-seeking managers aren't satisfied; they've begun to tweak their strategy of late, adding lesser-known stocks and lower-rated bonds. The aim, says Miska, is "to try to stay one step ahead" of the market.
Of course, risk is a relative term. Designed for retail investors with accounts smaller than $10,000 who don't have cash to spread across multiple funds, $475 million-in-assets First Investors Total Return (ticker: FITRX) isn't about to go all in on emerging-markets stocks or wager on Greek bonds. It provides an all-in-one strategy that invests about 55% to 60% of its assets in equities and 40% to 45% in fixed income, usually keeping less than 5% in cash. The fund, with an expense ratio of 1.33%, helped boost its parent, First Investors Management, to the No. 4 position in Barron's Best Fund Family ranking ("Worth the Risk," Feb. 6). First Investors oversees $7.7 billion in mutual funds and variable-annuity subaccounts.
Wagner (left) and Miska are betting on global transport stocks and have edged into slightly lower-quality bonds? Roger Hagadone for Barron's
Miska, a 49-year-old graduate of Boston University and former equity portfolio manager at Evergreen Funds, has managed the stock portion of Total Return since he came to First Investors as director of equities in 2002. His portion is a clone of the First Investors Growth & Income Fund (FGINX), which he runs with a 12-member investment team. Seeking "growth at a reasonable price," he takes calculated risks on high-quality companies like International Business Machines IBM -0.43% International Business Machines Corp.

More quote details and news » (JNJ). Such huge, sound outfits should be able to ride out the volatility caused by events in Europe or elsewhere. Cash, dividends or special payouts, and private-market valuations are all important considerations in Miska's selections.
Wagner, 53, has a master's degree in international affairs from Columbia University and is a former General Electric municipal-bond portfolio manager. He works with a team of seven to choose bonds, and, like Miska, is looking for high quality. The investment-grade bonds in the portfolio are intended to act as a hedge against the volatility of the fund's stocks, he notes. As the firm's director of fixed income, Wagner is also responsible for the fund's macroeconomic analysis.
Notwithstanding last week's bumpiness for stock prices, Miska and Wagner are convinced that the U.S. economy is on the rise. Even though they acknowledge the uncertainty caused by a coming presidential election and other issues, they believe the worst-case scenarios for Europe's sovereign-debt crisis already are reflected in securities prices.
While they think 2012 will look a lot like 2011, they argue that it will differ in important respects, which is why they've been making measured changes. For instance, stocks will be more important to the fund's returns this year than last. Most of 2011's gain came from bonds. The Fed's easy-money policies will lure more investors out of cash and into stocks, Miska believes. The expectation of growing global trade has pushed him toward sectors like shipping-container leasing.
At the same time, Wagner is adding lower-rated—but still investment-grade—corporate bonds with higher yields. He is moving down the ratings spectrum from single A, which was the fund's average bond rating in February, to BBB, which is just a hair's breadth away from the highest non-investment-grade of BB. In January, Wagner sold municipal bonds, which then made up 2% of the portfolio, to take advantage of a seasonal spike in muni prices. He used the proceeds to buy U.S. Treasuries.

It buys new steel containers in China for about $2,500 each and leases them to shippers for about $1 a day over 12 years, taking in $4,380 over the life of each. Then TAL sells them for scrap, where they currently fetch about $1,000. That's a return of $2,880—or more than 100%—on a $2,500 investment, albeit over a long stretch. The stock is up 43% since Nov. 25.
Miska has a private-market value for TAL, based on the scrap value of its containers, of about $1 billion.

Still, the stocks will have to drive performance this year, say Miska and Wagner. Corporate bonds should offer returns of about 4% to 5%, according to the fixed-income manager. The average earnings of the stocks in the Total Return portfolio are projected to grow at about twice the rate of the S&P's 8% earnings gain. Yet Miska's stocks are trading at a lower price-earnings ratio. That sounds more like a well-positioned portfolio than a big risk.

Former Santa Rosa Police Chief Tom Schwedhelm said Thursday he plans to run for City Council in November.
Two weeks after Sonoma County Supervisor Efren Carrillo was arraigned on a misdemeanor peeking charge, Santa Rosa Police Chief Tom Schwedhelm again declined to release copies or transcripts of the two 911 phone calls related to the incident.
Santa Rosa City Hall beefed up its security measures Tuesday in response to the march, sending workers home at noon and canceling the City Council meeting scheduled to begin in closed session at 1 p.m. and resume at 3:30 p.m. for the public.
The family of a mentally ill man shot to death by a Santa Rosa police sergeant in 2007 has settled its case against the city for just over $1 million.
A Santa Rosa woman's visit to poverty-wracked India has led to a lawsuit that has frozen Sonoma County's ordinance preventing people from sleeping in their cars.
With hundreds of unmanned aircraft operational, authorities in Sonoma County and across the country are working on rules of use.
Santa Rosa got an early start to its annual budget battles Tuesday, with some of the newest faces on the council driving a lengthy and often confusing debate about funding for next year's Police Department budget.
Sonoma County police seized more than $400,000 and 328 pounds of marijuana during a fall campaign to stop drug traffickers on Highway 101 during the outdoor marijuana harvest.
The Santa Rosa Police Department lost more than 150 years of experience this year as nine veteran and high-ranking officers retired, some with nearly 30 years on the force.
Critics of the Santa Rosa Police Department called for a full accounting of the city's legal defense in the fatal shooting of Richard DeSantis and said the officer involved should be fired.
A small group of activists addressed the City Council on Tuesday, five days after a federal jury found a Santa Rosa police sergeant violated the civil rights of DeSantis when he fatally shot the unarmed man outside his Roseland home in 2007.
They urged the city not to continue spending money to appeal the case, which is five years old and has already been petitioned to the U.S. Supreme Court.

JOHNSON v. OKLAHOMAAnnotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
JOHNSON v. OKLAHOMA , 449 U.S. 1132 (1981)
Kurk Kendall JOHNSON, petitioner,
State of OKLAHOMA
No. 80-5161
Supreme Court of the United States
January 26, 1981
Rehearing Denied March 23, 1981.
See 450 U.S. 1026.
On petition for writ of certiorari to the Court of Criminal Appeals of Oklahoma.
The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied.
Justice BRENNAN, with whom Justice MARSHALL joins, dissenting.
Petitioner was charged by information on April 1, 1975, in the District Court of Tulsa County, Okla., with the crime of kidnaping for the purpose of extortion. On April 16, 1975, he was charged in the District Court of Osage County, Okla., with the crime of murder in the first degree arising out of the same criminal episode. Following preliminary hearings in both courts, petitioner was bound over for trial. He subsequently moved for and was granted a continuance of the murder trial pending completion of his kidnaping trial.
Petitioner was found guilty of kidnaping and sentenced to 60 years in prison. Petitioner then filed a pleading in the Osage County District Court, entitled "Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus or Petition for Writ of Prohibition or Petition for Writ of Mandamus," alleging, inter alia, that a trial on the first-degree murder charge would violate his federal constitutional right against multiple trials and multiple punishments embodied in the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment. Before the District Court acted on his pleading, petitioner sought similar relief from the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals, which was denied. The District Court later denied the requested relief.
Petitioner next filed in Osage County District Court a "Plea
of Former Jeopardy," urging that his kidnaping conviction barred the murder trial on the ground that the two crimes were not separate and distinct offenses. He also moved to strike all references to the kidnaping in the Osage County information. Although the plea and the motion were denied by the District Court, the Court of Criminal Appeals, upon application by petitioner for a writ of mandamus, vacated the trial court's ruling, holding that the plea and motion should have been granted. The court noted, however, that the kidnaping conviction would not prohibit a subsequent prosecution for second-degree murder. Contending that a second-degree murder trial was also barred, petitioner sought a rehearing and a writ of prohibition. The Court of Criminal Appeals, after vacating its previous opinion prohibiting a trial on first-degree murder but allowing a trial on second-degree murder, denied all of petitioner's requests for relief. Johnson v. Hampton, 572 P.2d 1301 (1978).
On petition for certiorari, this Court granted certiorari, vacated the Court of Criminal Appeals decision, and remanded the case for further consideration in light of Brown v. Ohio, 432 U.S. 161 (1977), and Harris v. Oklahoma, 433 U.S. 682 (1977). Johnson v. Hampton, 434 U.S. 947 (1977). On remand, the Court of Criminal Appeals granted a writ of prohibition against a trial for first-degree murder. The information was subsequently amended to charge second-degree murder, and to strike all references to the kidnaping. Petitioner again sought a writ of prohibition from the Court of Criminal Appeals, alleging, inter alia, that the trial would violate the Double Jeopardy Clause. The court declined to assume jurisdiction and dismissed the writ. Petitioner then was tried and convicted of second- degree murder, and sentenced to 10 years to life. On appeal, the Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed. 611 P.2d 1137 (1980).
I would grant the petition for certiorari and reverse the judgment of the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals. I
adhere to the view that the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment, applied to the States through the Fourteenth Amendment, requires the prosecution in one proceeding, except in extremely limited circumstances not present here, of "all the charges against a defendant that grow out of a single criminal act, occurrence, episode, or transaction." Ashe v. Swenson, 397 U.S. 436, 453-454, 1199 (1970) ( BRENNAN, J., concurring). See Thompson v. Oklahoma, 429 U.S. 1053, 97 S. Ct. 768 (1977) (BRENNAN, J., dissenting), and cases collected therein.*
[Footnote *] Respondent argues that petitioner waived his double jeopardy claim in the proceedings below. Respondent's arguments are meritless.

Bandwagoners GTFO
If you were only here for Seattle during the win streak you need to GTFO. If you're only here for when the team made a huge comeback then you need to GTFO.

(via porcelainmaiden)
Frolicking in the autumn leaves, this little lion cub is having the time of her life as she excitedly plays in her enclosure.
Tiny cub Karis proved she's not too dissimilar to human children as she threw herself into the pile of golden leaves carefully collected by her keepers, even ending up with a pile on her head.
Staff at the Blair Drummond Safari Park, near Stirling, Scotland, had been raking up the leaves to keep the attraction tidy, when Karis's keeper Brian Reid realised that his little charge might enjoy playing in them and moved the pile into her enclosure.

Either you haven't noticed or you've been relieved by the absense of my byline in the Advocate the past two weeks.
I've been enjoying a much-needed vacation away from Victoria, spending it in Austin, Dallas and Arkansas. The time away from work has been spent enjoying one of my best friend's wedding, time spent with family and friends that I haven't been able see in a while. It's been extremely relaxing and fun, but it's also coming to a rapid close.
I'll be back in the newsroom on Monday and in all honesty, I'm actually looking forward to it. Though it's been nice getting away from work, I've missed covering sports in the area.
Just two weeks from now, we'll get everything going again. I'm excited to see how the Vipers do this football season with Jared Dolezal at quarterback and O.J. Hughes at his true position of running back. It's going to be interesting to see how the Flyers do this season with second-year quarterback Kevin Daniels running the offense and Kamen Ruelas running through defenses. On the coaching front at St. Joseph, John Mares is only two wins from his head coaching win No. 100.
Volleyball at Memorial is now under Jamye Pauley who returns to her hometown to take over the program in its last year before the split. The night she got the job she told me she was jumping up and down in her home in Lockhart. I'm sure she still has the same excitement and it can only benefit the team.
There will be plenty to keep me busy and entertained in a couple of weeks, and I hope as I enter my third sports-calendar year in Victoria that I can give the coverage the justice it deserves.
See you in a couple of days, Victoria.

Pepsi Americas announces joint venture with Central America Beverage Corp.
May 18, 2009
According to Reuters, Pepsi Americas announced it would combine most of its Caribbean business with Central America Beverage Corp.''s Central American ones as part of a joint venture between the two companies. CABCORP, which had sales of $480 million last year, will control 82 percent ownership interest, while Pepsi Americas will control the remaining 18 percent as part of the deal. The joint venture will combine Pepsi Americas'' Caribbean business, excluding the Bahamas, with CABCORP''s Central American operations, including Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua. The deal, expected to likely close in the third quarter, will not materially impact its 2009 forecast for adjusted earnings, Pepsi Americas said. Last month, PepsiCo offered $6 billion to buy the remaining stakes in its two largest bottlers, Pepsi Bottling Group and Pepsi Americas, to cut costs and get more control of its distribution system. It owns about 33 percent of Pepsi Bottling and 43 percent of Pepsi Americas.

CATEGORIES Comedy, RumorMonger, Remakes and Sequels, CinematicalHe may truly suck at making himself into a believable German, but Tom Cruise did something right when he signed on for Tropic Thunder. The gig got him his first raves in eons, a Golden Globe nomination, and now maybe a feature film?
E Online talked with Cruise, who says Grossman is far from cinematic history. "I've talked about doing different videos with the character. I've started working with Ben [Stiller] on it, and we've kind of talked about different things to do." Right now, they're just looking for the free time to make this a reality. Cruise then went on to say that he wouldn't rule out a feature film, but he has to talk to Stiller first.
It'd probably be wise not to hold our breaths. Stiller has been adding on the projects like mad lately, so unless there's some A+ scheduling, I bet this will take a while or never come to fruition. But more importantly: should it? I really enjoyed Tom in Tropic Thunder, Grossman was great, but I'm not sure I'd want to see a full film with him. To me, it wasn't so much the character, but Cruise having some fun. I'd much rather see a fun film written for Cruise that goes somewhere new, while maintaining that sense of self-deprecation. How about you?

We liked the look, but the base was cracked when we took it out of the box. We looked at other lamps and ordered another that we really like. We did return the first lamp.
01/01/2014By Field
This lamp was all I hoped it would be. It was a gift for a friend and she loved it, too. It's heavy and so cute. Would look nice in any room as a night light or accent light.

Very cute lamp for bedside!

Economic Vitality Incentive Program Compliance
In July 2011 the Local Audit and Finance Division, Bureau of Local Government Services of the State of Michigan provided guidance on preparing a Citizens' Guide and Performance Dashboard to meet part of the provisions of the Economic Vitality Incentive Program. Beginning October 1, 2011, the City will need to meet certain requirements to be eligible for a portion of statutory revenue sharing under PA 140. Under the Economic Vitality Incentive Program (EVIP) the City will need to meet three requirements.
As indicated on the State of Michigan's website, Public Act 63 of 2011, introduced the Economic Vitality Incentive Program. Each city, village, or township that received a FY 2010 statutory payment greater than $4,500 and fulfills the specific requirements for all of the three categories will be eligible to receive a maximum of 67.837363% of its FY 2010 total statutory payment (rounded to the nearest dollar). An eligible city, village, or township will receive 1/3 of the maximum amount for each of the three categories they fulfill the specific requirements for.
The three categories are Accountability and Transparency, Consolidation of Services, and Employee Compensation. Each eligible city, village, or township must submit the certification form and required attachments for each category to qualify for payment. Any local unit that falsifies certification documents shall forfeit any future economic vitality incentive program payments and shall repay the state all economic vitality incentive program payments it has received. Detailed information regarding each category can be found in Public Act 63 of 2011.

Self-made superstar analyst Michael Pachter has pointed his crystal ball in Rockstar's direction, and claimed that the next Grand Theft Auto is on target for next year.
"Management declined to state when the game will launch, but has confirmed to us that the game is in development, has been for over a year, and is using the same game 'engines' as the last version." Pachter said.
"Management also told us that the team at Rockstar North is highly motivated to get the game out, and that the team understands that its highest payday will come from working on GTA instead of any other game," he continued.
"When we do the simple math, we conclude that the next instalment is likely to be completed by some time in 2010, although given the frequency of game delays, it is not clear that it will necessarily come before October 31, 2010," he said.
Watch tons of other great game videos in HD over on our video channel!
Insider information or not, it's probably a very educated guess that there's a new GTA in development, it'll probably use all the tech Rockstar's heavily invested in, and it'll be out within two to three years of the last one.
