Ocean carriers must cut capacity on the Far East-Europe route by a further 30,000 20-foot-equivalent units over the next two months to shore up planned rate hikes in November, according to industry analyst Alphaliner.
Freight rates have plunged by over 40 percent on the route over the past five months as carriers failed to maintain the momentum built up by four successful rounds of rate increases between late December 2011 and May 2012.
The lines have failed to implement three subsequent rounds of rate increases and peak-season surcharges since June.
Carriers, which plan to boost rates by between $500 and $550 per TEU on November 1, are reducing capacity through October, but "it is not yet sufficient to prevent further rate falls," Alphaliner warned.
Despite a combined market share of 46 percent, the top three carriers, Maersk Line, Mediterranean Shipping Co. and CMA CGM, have been unable to check price competition between the 19 lines on the route even after two carriers — CSAV and HDS Lines — pulled out in the past year.
The new carrier alliances formed since early 2012 — including CMA CGM / MSC and the G6 Alliance — have also failed to moderate individual lines' market share ambitions amid weakening European demand for Asian products.
Ten of the 19 carriers have boosted their capacity in the 12 months to September, led by Hanjin Shipping, Hyundai Merchant Marine and Evergreen, which are up between 16 percent and 32 percent.
This has reduced the top three carriers' market share from 53 percent in April to the current 46 percent, according to Alphaliner.

36-Hour Giving Challenge raises local awareness
Date: February 28, 2013
by: Nick Friedman | Community Editor
The Community Foundation of Sarasota County, in partnership with the Patterson Foundation, the Gulf Coast Community Foundation and four other supporters, are once again hosting the 36-Hour Giving Challenge, with the goal of raising money for local nonprofits.
The donation challenge was created last year, to provide an accessible fundraising campaign that would increase awareness for local nonprofits and allow donors to be more informed.
In its first year, the campaign exceeded its $1 million goal, raising $2.4 million to benefit more than 100 participating non-profit organizations. This year, the donation challenge returns with more supporting foundations, more participating nonprofits and added opportunities to raise money.
"I think the community as whole was very proud of last year's success," says Susie Bowie, director of The Giving Partner. "I've never seen that level of fundraising in a community of our size, in such short period of time. I think there was a lot of pride in that."
From 7 a.m. Tuesday, March 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 6, donors will have the opportunity to read each nonprofit's online profile and donate via the online donation tool, called The Giving Partner.
The Patterson Foundation is offering a 1:1 match for new and increased donations of up to $1,000 per donor, up to $430,000. An additional $215,000 in support from the Gulf Coast, Manatee and Charlotte community foundations, as well as the William G. and Marie Selby Foundation, will be awarded as grants to benefit nonprofits with the best overall campaign; the best partnership with a local business; best partnership with a fellow nonprofit; and highest number of total donors.
Bowie hopes to build on the success of last year and continue to increase awareness for Sarasota's non-profit organizations.
"We live in a very generous community," says Bowie. "Our goal is to make the community stronger and more aware of the nonprofits that do such incredible work."
To donate, visit TheGivingPartner.org.

Snowboarding at Afton Alps, now owned by Vail Resorts
by Melinda Nelson
February 22, 2013
It's only been a few months since the owners of Afton Alps Ski and Golf inked a multimillion-dollar sale to Vail Resorts of Colorado, but already the winds of change are blowing through Penny's Plunge. Vail plans to upgrade Afton's snowmaking capacity and buildings, and skiers and boarders can purchase a season pass that includes Vail Resorts' ski operations in California and Colorado. Beyond that, "Vail is looking at everything from ski school to foodservice," says Joe Yasis, Afton Alps general manager. "Across the industry, the mantra is 'trial and conversion'—getting more people to try skiing and become lifelong skiers," continues Yasis. "For Vail, giving skiers access to other resorts is a marketing strategy."
The goal is not just to bring Midwest skiers to the mountains, but to make them Vail Resorts loyalists. "Vertically integrating Vail's customer base from the Midwest is an intelligent maneuver. There's some risk, but I anticipate that it will bring a level of sophistication to the market, as well as increased competition to the Twin Cities' outlying ski areas," says Don McClure, general manager at competitor Buck Hill in Burnsville. "Vail's strategy is part of an overall evolution in the industry, so it's likely that we'll see more acquisitions and alliances between local ski hills and other out-of-state resorts."
The sale marks a sea change in the collegial local ski biz. "The potential injection of capital is exciting," says Jim McWethy, owner of retailer Sun & Ski, in Wayzata, "but it's going to be challenging for the family-run businesses [that] have established the local ski industry. We'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out."

Gear Review
Great Outdoor/Cycling Shades

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I've used a lot of Oakley's lifestyle glasses and was looking for something with a more active inclination. I settled on the jawbone for the quick ability to swap lens and the fact it had two lenses and not a shield. The airflow through the lens is also nice. These are great for active shades that you can wear otherwise, as well.

MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) ¿ Furniture maker Hooker Furniture Corp. reported a loss in its fiscal fourth quarter on Thursday, hurt by an impairment charge related to weak demand for furniture amid the recession.
The loss for the quarter ended Feb. 1 totaled $719,000, or 7 cents per share, compared to a profit of $4.6 million, or 39 cents per share last year. The company took a $3.1 million, or 28 cents-per-share, intangible asset impairment charge during the quarter.
Revenue fell 31 percent to $56.5 million from $82.3 million a year ago.
The furniture industry has suffered due to the prolonged housing slump and slowdown in consumer spending.Company Chief Executive Paul B. Toms Jr. said Hooker Furniture combatted lower demand by cutting costs and becoming leaner and more efficient. For the year, profit fell 65 percent to $6.9 million, or 62 cents per share, from $19.7 million, or $1.58 per share last year. Revenue fell 18 percent to $261.2 million from $316.8 million last year.

Dressed in a fresh Ralph Lauren Polo, a charismatic figure steps out of canary-yellow Ferrari Scaglietti. His pants are sagging and the handle of a Desert Eagle nonchalantly sticks out on top of his belt buckle. He smiles slyly and without looking, throws a poker chip straight into the hands of the parking attendant, an arm movement that makes the diamond bracelet around his wrist glint in the low-hanging autumn sun. Out of the oakwood interior of the Lexus parked to the side come three women with hourglass figures and afros that would've put Pam Grier's to shame. Their eyes drunk with anticipation, they hand him a bottle of Hennesy, from which he takes a long drink unflinchingly. On spotless suede sneakers, a model you didn't even know to be released already, he steps into the club, trading the harsh outside winds for the welcoming embrace of the busy warmth where he's expected. He winks and throws a large bag of cocaine, pure as winter's first snow, onto a table where a champagne cooler is awaiting him. His name is Roc Marciano and this is his world.
It's not easy to see Roc Marciano as the relatively invisible lieutenant in Busta Rhymes's Flipmode Squad that he once was. Though Busta formed the crew when his solo career took off after leaving Leaders of the New School, Roc didn't even join the click until Lord Have Mercy left it, replacing a rapper that saw the eventual disintegration of the group coming sooner than most.
A few years after that, Roc Marciano had built a working relationship with Pete Rock, and though their collaborations didn't have much commercial success they were definitely a creative success. On the chocolate boy wonder's deep, laidback soul loops he found his own niche, as they fitted perfectly with his nonchalant eloquence and casually stoic machismo. It's a flow that doesn't contain a single superfluous syllable but is deceptively intricate nonetheless. Take this part of '20 Guns' for instant: "I'm like Clooney/ in ghetto jewelry/ Polo Uzi/ the stone I threw you was a Ruby/ I move smoothly/ Roll a doobie in the jacuzzi/ after the movie/ She asked to do me/ I replied absolutely." It paints a picture of the main character, his modus operandi is described both globally and in certain specific details and it even contains a small dialogue. All of this happens in sentences that roll off the tongue and are bursting at the seams with internal rhyme, continuing a single rhyming sound repeatedly without ever sounding forced or unnaturally reaching. You could fill a small booklet by pointing out moments like these, on Reloaded they come along close to incessantly.
Roc Marciano makes songs that go down greatly with nostalgics. They all sound ice-cold and raw and fit together like a glove. Which isn't surprising when you see the production credits, which mention the rapper himself as the producer on nearly every track. The soul samples and snippets of movie dialogue could've used a tad more variation, but they do manage to create a striking atmosphere. People that get melancholic about early to late '90s boom-bap can warm their heart to this, but Roc Marciano's heart belongs to a different age: the '70s. This is exemplified by a track like '76,' a reference to a year in which he himself wasn't even born yet. Reloaded sounds both musically and lyrically like an exceptionally grimy crossbreed between the most sordid blaxploitation flicks and typical New york gangsta rap. If Isaac Hayes as Truck Turner was a member of the extended family around Mobb Deep, this is probably what he would sound like.
Roc Marciano paints a picture of a New York in which men are still men, Roy Ayers can be heard on every street corner and gangsters operate by a code of honor. Naturally, he's the main character in this story himself, a story that'll never soar through the charts, but which he has to tell, simply because it's his story. With his uncompromising attitude, impeccable technique and rigid continuity of his own style, Roc Marciano is more than another "throwback-rapper" strictly delivering tunes to acidified backpackers who believe hip-hop died when Rawkus Records dissolved. Roc Marciano is not going to "bring New York back." Roc Marciano is a subgenre of rap wholly on his own.

partially cross-posted
Ok, so I didn't post yesterday w/ an update, but my lining was less tahn ideal. last week, it was 9 mm and 3 layers. yesterday it was only 7 mm and bright- no layers. I was very worried. my doc added in more estrace, 3 x/day up from 1 x/day. i go in on Monday for another check.
BUT, my doctor actually just called me! Normally the nurse calls, but I think since I've been at this for soooo long now, she wanted to give me a call. LOVE HER!
In regard to my lining, she explained the whole thing- using a sponge analogy- kinda confusing, but the bottom line is she's not too concerned. SHe said it's a moving target and changes so often. So as long as it's over 7mm, it's OK. She did add in teh extra estrace and I will go in for another scan on Monday to see how it looks. She said worst case, would freeze the embies and do a transfer when my lining is more optimal. she knows that is not waht we want, but also of course we don't want to transfer w/ a non-optimal lining. So we'll see on Monday how it looks. She also said that once you add in the progesterone, the look of it changes. it goes from layers or bright or whatever, to white...
She also gave me all of the stats on my donor. she still has 18 follies, the biggest on the R is a 23 and the L is a 21. her e2 is 3232

Police vs. kids dance-off in the street
Some teens in Kansas City had a run in with cops, but it's not what you think. Add officers and some good moves, and you have a dance off. Cynthia Newsome has the story.
Nice to see a guy without pride and attitude willing to make a fool of himself in the name of fun with the kids. Other than that white men should not dance
White guys can't dance.
It's on!
This cop gets it. Too bad other cops are too proud to have this much fun with the kids.
Most people shouldn't dance (at least in public).
It has nothing to do with race or ethnicity.

NEW DELHI: Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front chairman Yasin Malik, who returned here on Saturday after his controversial visit to Pakistan, was allowed to leave for Srinagar on Sunday morning without any formal "questioning" by the authorities here. Apart from his brief interaction with intelligence officials manning the immigration counter at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, he was spared a detailed explanation to the agencies during his brief stay here, on his appearance along side 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed at a protest in Islamabad last month.
Home ministry sources, however, said the ministry was yet to take a call on revoking his passport for having shared the dais with the Lashker-e-Taiba boss during a fast to protest the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru. According to an official, his passport is unlikely to be reissuedafter the validity of the current passport expires on March 19. Agencies are contemplating blocking his passport for a year or two to send a strong message to Kashmiri separatists who hobnob with terrorists and fugitives during their visits abroad.
Incidentally, Malik's detention or arrest was never on the cards after his arrival here, with the security agencies of the view that it would only help him play the victim. Moreover, they felt that being too harsh on the JKLF leader when Kashmir was still tense over the hanging of Guru as well as the recent killing of a youth in Baramulla, would only aggravate problems in the Valley.
Sources said Malik has, however, been advised to lie low and not make any intemperate remarks or statement that could fan tempers in Kashmir.

The Limited: the collection
Discipline: Jewelry
The Limited is an iconic women's fashion retailer with stylish, wearable looks for every lifestyle and occasion. In its second collaboration with the university, The Limited partnered with SCAD students to design exclusive jewelry pieces for its upcoming holiday collection "40s Glory and Ivy League."
In this collaboration, nine students — one graduate and eight undergraduates — gained valuable hands-on experience as they advanced through the complex process of jewelry creation. Students executed an entire jewelry collection from concept to completion from designing, molding and casting, polishing, embellishing and plating. Each signature piece not only adhered to The Limited signature brand, but also incorporated individual student vision, making this collection extraordinarily unique.
By the conclusion of the project, 26 student pieces were selected to be manufactured and sold in stores and online. In an exclusive unveiling event, The Limited presented the student collaboration collection, showcasing Victorian-style tassel earrings, chain necklaces etched with romantic phrases and encased lace-drop earrings.
"SCAD's focus on fashion merchandising, fashion and jewelry design were components that hit a lot of areas I was interested in from a brand standpoint…I believe great product starts with great design. And SCAD holds a lot of elements that I was very interested in."
— Linda Heasley, (former) CEO, The Limited

Sue A second day off in a row, have done some foam rolling that's it - and wow our house is clean today
Rest and Recovery
You've seen many "Rest" challenges over the months but this is such an important, nay essential, part of a healthy fitness program--so here's another chance to take good care of ourselves. Starting now, build in one full rest day into your workout week. Plan your schedule carefully to accommodate daily activity in all domains of your life--those demands may not be restful! R U up for this?
Rest and Recovery Challenge rules
- Starting now, build in one FULL rest day into your workout week. Plan your schedule carefully to accommodate all the demands in your busy life.
- If you can't kick back and unwind yet, at least build in a super-easy day that requires very little physical and mental effort.
- Monitor your progress and performance--a daily log or journal is a great way to do this!
- Consider joining the Relax and Recover Tribe--let us know how/what you're doing :)
- Not all types of physical activity are suitable for everyone. Users take Challenges and training advice at their own personal risk.
Recent advice

What Demi Should Know if the Ashton Rumors are True
Demi likely got a nasty surprise when the papers outed Ashton's rumored wild night in a hot tub recently. Why was it a shock? Because Demi wasn't there. Unless they have an open arrangement, they are going to have to do a lot of work to repair their marriage from the hurt, deceit and embarrassment caused by this scandal. While your relationship may not be making headline news, women across the world will have to plow through the same trials that Demi may soon go through, after finding out that their partner has betrayed them. The good news is that there hope for celebrities and non-celebrities alike. The bad news is that you have to make a commitment to wading through the many ups and downs of the reparation process. Think you and Demi have what it takes to do the work? Consider the following:
The Love Factor – Simply stated, you have to love your partner more than you hate them for what they've done. There might be an instant feeling that this relationship is worth saving and it might be a feeling that comes over you, only after the swift blow to the heart has subsided. Either way, you have to gauge your internal desire and evaluate where that love comes from. Is it fear of being alone or is it a core belief that you both can weather the storm?
Know the Routine – Once you realize your partner has been unfaithful, your world, much like a snow globe, has been turned upside down and the pieces may be falling all around you. In this space, we experience a myriad of emotions ranging from disorientation, hurt, anger, determination to fight the fight, dejection, confusion, love and back again. This routine will continue to cycle (in no particular order), anywhere from weeks to months. Both you AND your partner have to know this and mentally prepare, much like a fighter entering a battle. The storm will pass, but only after both of you commit to the practice of patience and steadfastness.
The 5 Ws – While in this emotional maelstrom, questions swirl, race and play on a never ending track, like a hamster on a wheel, but what information should we really have? As we all know, knowledge is power, but there is a point where too much IS too much and it may in fact, damage the road to recovery. Instead of asking and badgering for every last detail (that WILL in fact, break your heart and WON'T in fact, make you feel better), focus on the 5 Ws:
1. WHO – (Did your partner cheat with)
2. WHAT – (Exactly happened between them)
3. WHEN – (Did it all happen)
4. WHERE – (Did it all happen)
5. WHY – (Emotional motivations for stepping outside the relationship)

Offshore Safety: Commission publishes study on civil liability for offshore accidents
On the 14th August 2014 the European Commission published a study on civil liability for offshore accidents in Europe. The study looks at how liability and compensation for bodily injury, property damage and economic loss are handled. It also addresses financial security instruments to cover such damage. The study is part of a Commission fact-finding exercise on the subject under the Offshore Safety Directive and not linked to any future legislative process.
Commission publishes new studies on unconventional gas
On 7 September 2012 the European Commission published three new studies on unconventional fossil fuels, in particular shale gas. The studies look at the potential effects of these fuels on energy markets, the potential climate impact of shale gas production, and the potential risks shale gas developments and associated hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") may present to human health and the environment.
Energy: Commission publishes study on shale gas
On 27 January 2012 the Commission published a study on the licensing and permitting procedures for shale gas project. Based on a sample of four Member States (France, Germany, Poland and Sweden) the study concludes that there are no significant gaps in coverage in the current EU legislative framework, at least for regulating the current level of shale gas activities.
As regards possible areas for improvement of national regulatory frameworks the study especially considers it as problematic that currently public participation in the authorisation process for exploration projects is often rather limited. It also stresses that the application of the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive should not be linked to gas production thresholds alone and it emphasises that regulations should provide legal certainty for investors.
Europeans strongly in favour of EU energy solidarity
European Parliament Eurobarometer on Energy [805 KB]
According to the last European Parliament's Eurobarometer on energy, almost 80% of European citizens are in favour of solidarity between Member States in the event of supply difficulties. The survey also shows that 60% of Europeans consider they would be better protected through a EU coordinated approach of energy policies above national measures, which constitutes a further plea for the "europeanisation" of energy policy. In addition, among priorities in energy comprising the stability of energy prices, renewable energy and security of supply, energy efficiency only comes fourth with only 16% of Europeans considering it a priority field. A striking result calling for immediate action as regards information on new measures to promote more energy savings.
The EU is committed to meet this challenge and energy efficiency has become one of its main priorities. The Commission will present in March a new Energy Efficiency Action Plan with several actions to give all citizens the opportunity to consume less and better.

US Army brigade retools for new Afghan mission
More than 100 soldiers in the brigade studied Arabic for 10 months. Their officers boned up on Iraq by reading dozens of books.
Associated Press Writer
More than 100 soldiers in the brigade studied Arabic for 10 months. Their officers boned up on Iraq by reading dozens of books.
Then, five months ago, the 5,000 troops of the U.S. Army's 5th Stryker Brigade were told they were headed to Afghanistan instead.
The Obama administration's decision to switch America's main battlefront from Iraq to Afghanistan is more than a geographic shift. While there are similarities between the two Muslim nations, there are also major differences in language, culture and topography.
The Fort Lewis, Wash.-based Stryker brigade, which arrived in southern Afghanistan last month as part of the U.S. troop surge, is among those scrambling to adapt.
There was only time to give about 50 soldiers a nine-week crash course in Pashto, the main language of southern Afghanistan.
"It was a whole 180-degree turn. It's like English and French: some words are the same but that's it. The grammar is different, the sentences are different," said Spc. John Dazey, a 21-year-old from Vacaville, Calif., who had to fit his training on driving combat vehicles around eight-hour-a-day language classes.
He spoke at the main international base in southern Kandahar province as he waited to deploy out to southeastern Afghanistan.
The soldiers will also encounter a society that is more conservative and traditional than Iraq's.
While two-thirds of Iraq's 28 million people live in major cities, three-fourths of the 34 million Afghans live in rural areas, where conservative values remain strong. Nearly three-quarters of Iraqis can read and write. In Afghanistan, only 28 percent are literate - with rates for women about half that.
All that is especially true among the Pashtuns, the biggest ethnic group and the vast majority of the Taliban. U.S. troops must win over the Pashtuns if there is to be peace in Afghanistan.
Soldiers who've gone through the language course are briefing their comrades on how to interact with the local population - part of the U.S. strategy of building ties to the community.
Dazey has told the men in his squadron to avoid talking to women, or even looking at them - a cursory glance at a burqa-covered woman can be seen by her husband as a lewd come-on.
"The Pashtuns, we've been told the culture is a lot like the Arabic culture except it's on steroids," he said.
Perhaps most importantly, engaging Afghans - and the Pashtuns in particular - requires a different approach.
"Afghanistan is more of a tribal-based society," said Lt. Col. William Clark, commander of the Stryker brigade's 8th Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment. "There are more informal leaders you have to recognize."
Conversely, the brigade faces a tightly organized Taliban structure in Kandahar with commanders and even spokespeople, in contrast to the loosely connected insurgency of Iraq.
The Stryker brigade, named after its fast-moving tank-like assault vehicles, is meant to be a next-generation fighting force equipped with advanced communication technology and soldiers skilled in both fighting and peace-building.
Some of the Pashto-speaking soldiers have been given special permission to grow a beard to better interact with men in a culture where a beard is a sign of manhood.
"The fact that so many of the military guys are so against it shows how much cultural importance a beard can have," Col. Harry Tunnell, the brigade commander, said.
Operating in Afghanistan - a country of few roads, no national electricity grid, formidable mountains and bleak stone deserts - presents major challenges.
Soldiers who have done Iraq tours talk about being wowed by Saddam Hussein's palaces. Here they're lucky if they find a road.
At Kandahar Air Field, a massive truck laid down a metal track sturdy enough for the 38,000-pound Strykers to cross.
"When we were going to Iraq, I didn't think we'd be using these bridges at all. Things are more developed there," said 1st Lt. John Davis as he tested a bridge-laying vehicle.
He said they'll use the bridges to establish new routes over small waterways or gullies, or cross areas bombed out by Taliban explosives.
And while terrain in southern Afghanistan is not that different from the Iraqi desert, if the brigade moves farther up the eastern border, they'll confront mountains and valleys still littered with the carcasses of Soviet tanks from the war in the 1980s.
In Iraq these soldiers would have been taking over from existing brigades, but here they're deploying in a part of the country that has only had a sparse international force and never an American presence.
The Stryker vehicles are flown over. The operating bases have to be built and no one knows for sure how the Taliban will respond in an area where they've never been given much of a fight. This will be the first deployment for the brigade and for many of its soldiers, so many are studying up to make sure they're ready for a different theater with a lot more responsibility.
"If we went to Iraq we'd already have assumed operations," said Maj. Joe Hugh, the executive officer of the brigade's Special Troops Battalion, comprised of soldiers with various technical specialties. "Here it's a Rubik's Cube. We're just trying to figure it out every day."

EA have revealed plans to launch a new free-to-play iteration of its celebrated Battlefield franchise, aptly titled Battlefield Play4Free.
Unlike similar release Battlefield Heroes, which was third-person and utilised cel-shaded graphics, the publisher has explained that the latest venture stays true to the "core, realistic Battlefield shooter experience."
Set to feature multiplayer battles for up to 32 players across a number of modern-day environments, gameplay seems to most closely correlate to that seen within Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Micro-transactions are to be implemented to tempt players to part with some cash.
"We broke new ground in 2009 with the launch of Battlefield Heroes; a game that has 6 million registered players worldwide. Now we are complementing that arcade shooter with a core, realistic Battlefield shooter experience that fans have been clamouring for," added senior producer, James Salt. "Battlefield Play4Free is for serious shooter fans who are looking for a premium – but free – experience that rivals top console titles."
Whilst no release date has been announced, you can sign up for closed Beta details on the official website – link to your right.

A special report on this oil-rich, former Soviet republic includes interviews with "experts" who are actually current or former government employees.
The Republic of Kazakhstan is not the sort of country that you hear about much in American media. Newspapers and TV networks have limited space, after all, and with so much happening in places like China and the Middle East, the dealings of this land-locked former Soviet territory don't rate as much ink or airtime. Still, Kazakhstan's story is significant and often entertaining -- it's a big, rapidly modernizing, resource-rich nation sandwiched between Russia and China -- so it was an unusual treat to discover that CNN International is devoting an entire special report to the country. The network's first-ever live broadcast from Kazakhstan would seem to be a small but important landmark moment for CNN International, bringing its enormous audience into contact with a corner of the world they might otherwise never experience. But there's more than meets the eye to this cheery series, and some apparent overlap in mission and tone with the Kazakh government's recent, high-profile lobbying campaign.
"Eyes On Kazakhstan," a half-hour collection of nine short segments that first aired this weekend and runs again once or twice a day through Wednesday, brings viewers into contact with a part of the world about which they might otherwise read or learn very little. The show mostly focuses on the country's booming energy industry and its opportunities for foreign investors, though also explores, for example, indigenous Kazakh sports,. But, if you go online to watch the clips on oil mining or read about the changing capital city, you might notice a disclaimer at the bottom of the article that reads, "CNN's Eye On series often carries sponsorship originating from the countries we profile. However CNN retains full editorial control over all of its reports."
The show's website discloses the state-owned sponsors, but not if viewed from the U.S.
Sponsorship is nothing out of the ordinary -- you might notice ads running alongside this very post -- but it turns out that there are some unusual things going on with CNN International's Kazakhstan series. You'd have to know the country pretty well to spot them, which I don't and didn't. But a Central Asia-based consultant named Myles Smith did, pointing them out in a post on EuriasaNet.org (disclosure: as an Atlantic partner site, EurasiaNet articles frequently appear on TheAtlantic.com).
The first thing that Smith found is also perhaps the strangest. He writes that both the website and TV-only promotional teasers say that the program is "in association with" a firm called Samruk-Kazyna and the Astana Economic Forum. Oddly, it doesn't actually name either of these groups, merely displaying their logos, which Smith recognized. Samruk-Kazyna is a massive, state-run holding company that manages national assets and resources worth tens of billions of dollars. The Astana Economic Forum, also state-run, lists "attracting potential investors and partners to help facilitate development projects" as an official goal.
Browsing the Eyes On page and watching the clips myself, I could find no indication of who was sponsoring the program or even that it had sponsors at all, other than the vague note about "sponsorship [often] originating from the countries we profile," which doesn't clarify if that means the country's government or just companies that happen to work within that country.
I was baffled. Not that Kazakhstan's state-owned firms would "sponsor" a report on their country -- which could be kosher if the sponsors were clearly identified and if they had no effect effect on the actual news coverage -- but that I couldn't find any disclosure myself of the sponsorship. I reached out to a U.S.-based EurasiaNet editor, and he couldn't, either. But he got in touch with his colleagues back in Central Asia, and it turned out that the "Eyes On Kazakhstan" page looked slightly different when they loaded it. Their version shows the "in association with" disclaimer (screenshot here), while Americans see nothing.
This was one of the things I asked about when I got in touch with CNN International. "All campaigns have the ability to geo-target different advertisements to different regions in the world," a press representative told me, though the "in association with" line looks more like a disclaimer than an advertisement. "It's not visible in the U.S. because the U.S. is not a target market." She confirmed that Samruk-Kazyna and the Astana Economic Forum are sponsors and didn't dispute their links to the Kazakh government.

I ended up transferring to better my education. Though I am
considering trying out for the basketball team at Texas State.
I am undergoing training at the moment to compete in my first
NPC competition next year and I am so anxious!
Deletha Sommers
My name is Deletha Sommers and I am
a homeschooling single mom of two, personal trainer, and INBF
bikini competitor. My life revolves around spending time with
my family and living a healthy lifestyle. I started working
out after I had my second child so I could lose the baby weight.
I fell in love with fitness at that point. I entered 5K's,
10K's, and half marathons. Then I decided to try weight lifting
and competing. I won 2nd in my class on my very first show!
I am very excited to say my next show is in March, 2015.
Nicole Pellegrini
I was born in Derby, Connecticut and
moved to Jacksonville, Florida when I was 4 years old. I was
always a healthy athletic kid. I played indoor volleyball
and beach volleyball for 8 years. I then competed in my first
NPC figure competition and fell in love. I found the confidence
I had been searching for my whole life. That's when I decided
I wanted to share this feeling with others by helping them
reach their own fitness goals. Everyone should feel happy
and beautiful in their own skin! I'm certified as a personal
trainer and I'm currently in college for a degree in nutrition.

Shellane Demarest
I was the biggest tomboy as a child.
I always enjoyed watching sports on television and spent a
lot of time outside playing. Then when I hit my teenage years,
I noticed the weight was piling on and not really coming off.
That is when I started working out and participating in team
sports in high school. A few years later, I joined the U.S.
Army. I always passed my PT test but would fail the weigh
in, thus remedial PT was given to me in addition to my regular
daily PT. At first I saw it as a negative thing until I realized
I was actually good at coaching and soon I was assisting my
Platoon Sergeant.

Brooke Buechel
A little over 3 years ago is when I
truly started dedicating myself to fitness and creating a
healthy lifestyle for myself. It started with the passing
of my dad. The gym was the place I could escape to, to let
off steam and get rid of some stress. Ever since I have created
this life for me, I never wanted to look back. I love the
person I have become and the choices that I have decided to
make to become the person I am today.
Daniela Baia
My name is Daniela and I was born and
raised in the Czech Republic. I have been active most of my
life, attending several sports competitions during middle
school and high school years. However, after my graduation
(Economic institute: Business and Administration, Czech Republic)
I stopped being involved in sports due to my busy work schedule.
All this changed in 2006 when I came to New York. I realized
that I was not the only one not living a healthy lifestyle
and not being in shape.
Jacki Peters
I am a 25 year old Canadian fitness
fanatic! Besides being at the gym I enjoy playing sports,
being around my friends and family and I love animals! I am

Technology and when that is over I intend on continuing my
education to become an architect! I also plan to continue
competing in fitness competitions and bettering myself as
an athlete!
Amanda Gomez
My love for fitness started over two
years ago. At the beginning of 2013 I made it my goal to compete
in a NPC bikini competition. I am happy to announce that I
competed on October 19, 2013 and received a fourth place trophy
in overall novice bikini. I am now going to be expanding my
training business to helping girls train for bikini competitions.
Simona Cesnik Fedele
I'm a fitness junky! I did my first
marathon at age 16 and I've been doing one every year since
then. Any chance I get I'm either running, at the gym or doing
weights at home. I'm a mom of 2 little ones and sometimes
it's challenging finding free time to workout but I always
say if you want it bad enough you will always find the time.
I'm currently doing a course in fitness and nutrition and
I'm hoping to be done by the beginning of the new year.

I have always been a very active person.
I ran track, played softball and led the marching band in
high school. Up until I had my daughter, I enjoyed going to
the gym and doing outdoor activities with my husband. After
I had my daughter, she took a lot of time and energy so I

"These were pretty good considering the healthy ingredients. I added pumpkin spice for the first day of autumn. They are a little bit eggy though. I used 2 servings of egg substitute, so maybe the egg whites will make it less so."
"Really good, just the right amount of spice. I also placed it in the oven to crisp up. So brainlessly easy too. Total keeper in my book!"
"Easy and super quick for those sweet munchy attacks we all get. Can't what to try different mixes and toppings. Thks!"
"The flavor was pretty good, but the raw noodles were a little to weird for me. Next time I will substitute crunchy chow mein noodles instead, like the canned La Choy brand. Great concept though."
"This has to be the best cornbread I've ever made! It caught my attention because of the weird addition of cake mix, but now it all makes sense. Next time, I think I will add corn to it, but then I might eat the whole thing myself."
"This is the best bread dessert I have ever made. I wanted to use up some shredded zucchini I had so I looked for a zucchini bread recipe and the coconut caught my eye. Its so addictive it's like crack! I Although it is pretty healthy, I'd like to experiment with a little less sugar next time (that's probably why its so addictive!) The coconut is ..."
"This was just fantastic. I had just made homemade ricotta cheese and refused to let it go to waste, so I searched here for a sweet snack. This was so brainlessly easy, but with great results. I have never, ever heard of ricotta cake before, but just reading the ingredients, duh, its got to be good. Next time, I plan to add fruit to it some how, ..."
"I have made this rice now at least 5 times. It is the best tasting rice ever! My husband thinks its too sweet, but I disagree. Its a really pretty side dish too. My only change would be to add a pinch more salt. Thanks so much for posting."
"Perfect way to use up cornbread!"
"I've done this before and it is the way to go when watching your weight. Some people can detect the artificial sugar taste and some can't. I use Splenda brown sugar."

It's been getting way too heavy around here, so thank God someone finally put a bikini on. Unfortunately none of you know who Kelly Bensimon is because she's on The Real Housewives of New York which exactly five people watch yet somehow you're dating one of them. On that note, to extract any sexiness out of this post, you're going to want to focus on the just-barely exposed areola and not the over-tanned wildebeest it's attached to. Trust me on this one.
Kelly Bensimon in a bikini
She looks pretty good for her age. I think she's in her 40′s.
Did you notice that her nipple is sticking out?
Girlfriend needs a refund on those boobies.
OMG, I want to stab myself in the eye. Arrrgggg… DAMN YOU FISH!! DAMN YOUuuuuuuuu…
She looks awful. Thanks for temporarily making me feel better about my own ugly body, which is less ugly than hers.
dude, there's a nipple trying to break free there!
Look at her expression!
I think she's thinking, "Oh, yeah – I look good!"
Wow – so delusional!
I love when people flaunt it when they have it…but someone needs to tell her that her bikini days are over…
Okay, time to stop starving yourself, and start working out. It's not a good sign to have that kind of skin sag, and muscle waste at your age.
I'll take NIPPLE for $100 alex!
She looks ok, but that is one ill fitting bikini. Keep your chin up Fish, I am a fan! I have only watched the Real Housewives of Orange County, and damn if those bitches don't act like they are still in high school.
My afternoon project was to see if I could get my after lunch nut off to this beast.
I started by slapping my cock silly while watching a little of San Francisco's finest gay porn. Once I got my cock at attention I turned off the porn and put the photo of this creature in front of me and went to town on myself. It took me about 30 seconds to start to lose my hard on and about two minutes before I gave up and went back to the gay porn which made me nut in about a minute.
Just for the record, I am not gay at all, I just like a little gayness when I jerk off. The fact that this nightmare cause me to go limp says a lot but what it doesn't say is that I am gay so just stop right there with your smart ass comments. It just says that she is past her prime.
From the top up, she looks all right. From the bottom down, she's decent. Everything in between is the torso of a 300 Spartan.
Okay, I'm done.
ew! she looks way better in the PlayGirl pics this month
I'm pretty sure this woman is an alien.
Hey, Steven Tyler is out of rehab!
Who? And, uh – gross.
Nothing as bad as a chick who THINKS she is hot – yet sadly is NOT. Pass her a cheeseburger!
I'd tap that ass
I've never commented on this site, but seeing how negative the comments are being posted about this beautiful lady, i am forced to say that only the ugly virgins living in their mom's basements are doing this lol. Kelly is one of the most beautiful 42 year old women out there
Trying to get a date Jake411? I'm pretty sure shes probably loose as a goose or concealing a penis
She needs to break out one of those all over, complete with leggings style 1890 swimsuits pronto. Cover it…all of it…NOW…before you do serious damage to the semen count in North America.
well on the plus side it looks as though she got those HORRENDOUS boobs fixed. they were all kinds of bad plastic surgery before.
don't like to bash people online, but she is truly one vapid self obsessed idiot.
Uhhhh….Mitch @ #12? I hate to break it to ya dude, but you're gay.
i don't care how young or old, that just doesn't look right.
Um……… where'd her butt go?
"Look at her expression!
I think she's thinking, "Oh, yeah – I look good!"
Wow – so delusional!"
Do you honestly believe you'll be 14 forever?
Never heard of her, but she looks better than most women her age.
Hell, she looks better than quite a few women half her age.
@jewbacca #20. i'm already married, but thanks for the offer. and you're either a gay fat ass dude or some fat chick nobody would ever bang :-)
Seriously, I hope my wife at her age stays looking that good. I'd LOVE to bone this chick!
Huh. Only seen a xyphoid process on a skeleton before. Didn't know they could be visible on living people, thanks for the anatomy lesson kels.
Her sterum is sticking out farther than her boob! weird ass /hip/flap/sag/stomach going on there! She looks okay in clothes, but being one of the few who has seen that tv show, once she opens her mouth, she is so damn annoying you want to tell her to shut the f up!
@ 12: John Mayer, is that you?
She is Very Ugly. Ugly for 42, 52 or 102.
I have never seen her show but she is in the cover of Playboy for the March 2010 issue. I think she is very attractive and sexy. I think Kelly Bensimon is the ultimate cougar. According to the Palyboy shot she used to model in her 20′s. I would love to *uck her.
OMG! Some people should only wear a sleek one piece tank suit and she is one of them. She just highlighted all of her flaws. Delusional people amuse me.
#19 Jake, you would LOVE me. Bow down now.
why doesn't she have a waist? you sure this isn't a man?
I'd hit it.
Nothing worse than some used up old bitch who can't accept getting old fat and gross. Do the world a favor and get a 1 piece, or better yet, stay in side your house, you fug-ugly dog-face cunt.
..so Gilles Bensimon has tapped THAT….? she must be magical
Meh — not that great but I'd still put it in her pooper.
Don'y click on KiKi's link. Depressing. Always depressing when people try to be whiter via hair bleach and colored contacts. Yet she does have a point here.
How is she a wilderbeast? C'mon that's pretty offensive – shes a normal, pretty fit woman – just because shes not Gisele doesn't make her a wilderbeast. No wonder women have eating disorders when anything less that a VS model is deemed 'wilderbeast'
I'd feast on her dirty ass.
… as long as I don't have to kiss her.
She looks disgusting. Cover it up. You know she's nuts cuz she thinks she looks good. I don't care how old she is–just cover it up.
she looks very hot and i catch this beauty……
Awesome, love it when people stay fit no matter their age. Shows you what yoga and pilates can do, look at the abs, that is all from core strength training
like Pilates and the long lean muscles in the arms and legs. Beautiful!
