The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
G3 - GERMANY/AFGHANISTAN/MIL - Germany aims to reduce Afghan force by 500 this year
Released on 2012-10-17 17:00 GMT

Source: reuters // Reuters
BERLIN, July 2 (Reuters) - Germany will reduce its troop levels in
Afghanistan by about 500 from the current force of 4,800 at the end of the
year, the chief of staff of Germany's armed forces said in an interview to
be broadcast on Sunday.
Volker Wieker, the inspector general of the Bundeswehr, told
Deutschlandfunk radio that Germany was looking to reduce its contingent by
about the same number of troops -- 500 -- that it added to the
international deployment last year.
"That's the framework being looking at," Wieker said, according to an
excerpt of the interview released on Saturday.
He said, however, the final number would depend on how many troops the
United States withdraws from the north, where Germany's troops are based.
Germany, the third largest troop contributor, had previously said it hoped
to begin pulling troops out from the end of 2011 but had not before
mentioned any number nor set any deadline for a complete withdrawal.
U.S. President Barack Obama said in June he planned to withdraw 33,000 of
its 100,000 troops by the end of next summer.
Wieker called the U.S. target ambitious and added: "One could have
expected a somewhat longer time frame for that." (Reporting by Erik

Advance Auto Parts Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2012 Results
Fiscal Second Quarter and Year-to-Date Highlights
Total sales for the second quarter decreased 1.3% to $1.46 billion, compared with total sales of $1.48 billion during the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The sales decrease reflected a comparable store sales decrease of 2.7% versus a comparable store sales increase of 2.5% during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, partially offset by the net addition of 65 new stores during the past 12 months. Year-to-date, total sales increased 1.2% to $3.42 billion, compared with total sales of $3.38 billion over the same period last year.
The Company's gross profit rate was 49.9% of sales during the second quarter as compared to 49.7% during the second quarter last year. The 16 basis-point increase in gross profit rate was primarily due to improved store shrink and lower supply chain costs, partially offset by increased promotional activity. Year-to-date, the Company's gross profit rate was 50.0%, a 14 basis-point decrease over the same period in fiscal 2011.
The Company's SG&A rate was 38.3% of sales during the second quarter as compared to 37.0% during the same period last year. The 135 basis-point increase was primarily due to expense deleverage as a result of the Company's lower sales volume and a planned shift in expenses that occurred during the second quarter versus the first quarter. Year-to-date, the Company's SG&A rate was 38.5% versus 39.1% during the same period last year.The Company's operating income during the second quarter of $169.2 million decreased 10.4% versus the second quarter of fiscal 2011. On a rate basis, operating income was 11.6% of total sales as compared to 12.8% during the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Operating cash flow decreased 12.4% to $411.4 million from $469.6 million through the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Free cash flow was $265.4 million versus $287.3 million through the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Capital expenditures were $146.3 million as compared to $151.6 million through the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

Power Plant in Mongolia Receives MBR Ultrafiltration Modules
Single header design reduces energy, minimizes downtime, and increases flux
Koch Membrane Systems Inc. (KMS) announced that it supplied Puron membrane bioreactor (MBR) ultrafiltration modules to a power plant located in Inner Mongolia, China. The project is the first in China's power industry to use Puron ® MBR membranes for water reuse.
Municipal wastewater will be treated in an aerobic MBR using Puron hollow fiber membranes, followed by reverse osmosis (RO). The treated water will then be used as boiler make-up water. The plant has a capacity of 18,000 cu meters per day (4.8 mgd).
KMS Installs Ultrafiltration Modules at Mongolian Steel Mill
The technology was selected based on permeate quality, energy consumption & chemical consumption compared with competitive products
Koch Membrane Systems Inc. (KMS) has installed its Puron HF ultrafiltration (UF) modules at a major steel mill in Inner Mongolia, China. The system is the first large application of the Puron HF product in the metals industry, with a capacity of 57,600 cu meters per day (15.2 million gal per day).
KMS Retrofits Del Rio Water Treatment Plant
The full ultrafiltration membrane retrofit project is scheduled to be completed over the course of a year
Koch Membrane Systems Inc. (KMS) has successfully started-up the initial phase of its retrofit to the ultrafiltration (UF) system at the City of Del Rio's water treatment plant located in Del Rio, Texas. The full retrofit project is scheduled to be completed over the course of a year.
Ultrafiltration System Features Small Footprint
The system's technological enhancements improve performance & reduce installation costs
Membrane systems for treating drinking water keep evolving, and the recent introduction of the Memcor CPII ultrafiltration (UF) system is no exception. The Memcor CP II system from Evoqua Water Technologies is a pressurized, pre-engineered membrane system with a modular building-block configuration and ultra-compact footprint.
QUA to Introduce New Product at Membrane Conference
The AWWA/AMTA Membrane Technology Conference will be held March 10 to 14, 2014 in Las Vegas
QUA will introduce the EnviQ submerged ultrafiltration membranes for wastewater treatment and recycle applications as part of the membrane bioreactor (MBR) process the AWWA/AMTA Membrane Technology Conference, March 10 to 14, 2014 in Las Vegas.
Veolia to Build Desalination Plant in Iraq
The plant will produce 200,000 cu meters of drinking water per day
The Iraqi Ministry for Municipalities and Public Works has chosen Veolia to build and operate for five years a desalination plant in Basra, Iraq. For Veolia, this contract represents cumulated sales of $115 million.
Limited water resources and conflict over its use have made water a crucial resource for Iraq's development, especially in the country's south. Water in this part of Iraq is mainly sourced from the Euphrates—which has a high salt content—and water from the Persian Gulf.
Ultrafiltration Systems
Koch Membrane Systems' TARGA II hollow fiber ultrafiltration systems are available for drinking water, seawater RO pretreatment, industrial water treatment, and tertiary wastewater treatment. TARGA II HF membranes can be installed in a custom system or provided in prepackaged, skid-mounted systems with capacities from 10,000 to 100,000 gal per day.
Russian Refinery Employs GE Technology for Wastewater Treatment Plant
GE to use ZeeWeed MBR technology, EDR, RO and ion exchange polishing technologies
Russian oil company Bashneft will use GE's ZeeWeed membrane bioreactor (MBR), electrodialysis reversal (EDR) and reverse osmosis (RO) technologies for treatment of refinery wastewater from the Bashneft-Ufaneftekhim oil processing complex and other enterprises of the Northern Industrial Block of Ufa. Strict discharge regulations, and the need to reuse the treated water, led Bashneft to choose GE's technology for its new wastewater treatment plant.
Ultrafiltration Module
Q-SEP Hollow Fiber ultrafiltration modules contain UF membranes manufactured with QUA's Cloud Point Precipitation method. This process ensures a high pore density along the length of the fiber and uniform pore-size distribution in the membrane. The modules deliver effective performance, and product water quality is higher than that from conventional UF modules, with a low silt density index and excellent rejection of bacteria and viruses.
Booth #2753
Russian Utility to Employ GE Ultrafiltration Technology
Aiming to reduce usage of freshwater supplies in industrial city
With water conservation remaining a key goal of efforts to modernize Russia's water supply infrastructure, GE announced the Ekaterinburg Municipal Unitary Enterprise Vodokanal utility has selected GE's ZeeWeed* 500D ultrafiltration membrane technology to boost the water recovery capacity of its existing water treatment plant.

Karthus in URF needs to be taken out. 2k damage per ult without having to be out of base every 10 seconds is too much.
stop being weak
Web Cobra
Junior Member
Except you know, it isn't on a 10 second CD .....and maybe buy some items like Banshee veil or MR items or even health
As opposed to *****ing and being wrong about quite possibly the least broken champ in Urf, lets look at some actual numbers.
Karthus's Ult Damage: 550 (+60% AP)
In order to hit 2k damage with his ult, Karthus would have to have 2417 AP. That's assuming his opponents have no MR, of course.
Karthus's Ult Cooldown: 160 Seconds
At 80% cooldown reduction, that's a 32 second cooldown. Roughly three times your complained about length.
Karthus Ult?
Zhonya's.....your welcome.
And who cares about URF balance? I personally do not find it entertaining. It was a novel idea on day one but after that...lame.
I've played him in URF. It was fun spamming my ult every 30sec. Right up until the entire enemy team built Zhonya's, and item that is generally extremely powerful on URF but against Karthas makes them effectively immune to my ult.

I got this TV from Frys.com a few weeks ago. WOW! First, the shipping was free (otherwise it would have cost $145!!). When the freight company showed up and I saw the box...it was HUGE!! There was only one guy (no idea how he would have gotten it into my house if I hadn't helped him). He did take the box apart so I could inspect it. My personal opinion is that if the front glass isn't cracked, you're probably good to go. I did buy a Squaretrade warranty for it, just to be safe (used 40% off coupon at the time) It's certainly not a PERFECT tv...but I gotta tell ya...the image quality is unbelievable! You can see the most minutest of details! Separate strands of hair. Really amazing sharpness. The glare is a bummer. There is a company on Amazon that sells an anti-glare/screen protector...but it's expensive. I found the speakers to be much better than I expected. Extremely happy with the purchase, and feel 'safe' with the warranty. It's a big 'ole TV, that's for sure. Do NOT try to lift it by yourself. You could break the glass or drop it (and it's a solid 80+ pounds OUT of the box...in the box, it's about 100 pounds). I was surprised that it doesn't put out hardly any heat at all. Get yourself from HDMI cables from Monoprice and enjoy.

It's not that heavy, supposed to be 78 without stand, but I mounted them to my homemade stands for my sim by myself. Just a bit wide...lol
They look great all together though. Really impressed with the image.
Ad the black levels for night flying are great, can see all the stars....

Needed to get the displays so I can fly and stay motivated. Was going to use three projectors, but lost the room in the house to our home theater, so I got stuck in the third bay of the garage (not complaining, I like the theater). Anyway, no room for the projectors now so went with three 60's and since these don't have all the bells and whistles, which I didn't need, and the price point was right ($764 from Panasonic EPP when they were in stock), they work great. Bonus is the image quality is excellent!

only 699, and kinda surprised it had no traffic on the thread. Bought it on a whim, and floored by the quality. The TV is damn beautiful with the small bezel, and image quality is what you expect from plasma.... simply awesome. Kind of surprised, since I havent been too impressed with LG LCD's and LED's.

We regret to inform everyone that the GIRLS LEAGUE has been cancelled this Spring. There were some unforeseen changes on the organization committee and we got a very late start in getting the word out. All of the administrative details are still being worked out and we feel that kicking off a new era of the league would be hasty and unorganized. We do not want to start out like that, so we are going to plan to hold other spring 1 day clinics or possibly a Fall 2014 league instead.
Note: If you have already sent a check to my address, I will return it to you upon receipt.

Does that mean you will be able to swap the bike between 690 and 450 depending which race you're going to?
Hi Hillbilly! - yes, that is certainly an option for people - although as it is a crank/rod and piston kit, it's not just going to be a 5 minute job so to speak...
Fortunately there are plenty of secondhand 690s around now - either the Enduro, or the SMC and Duke version too of course, so sourcing a second engine and building that up with the 450 kit would mean you'd then have the option of swapping between a 450 and a 690 as required - which would be just a couple of hours work?
That said, personally I will be campaigning the 450cc version throughout the year, as we want to rack up plenty of miles on it to prove it will go the [Dakar] distance with no problems... We also have some specific long distance endurance tests planned too - watch this space!
In the meantime, John will be racing his 690cc bike at the Tuareg Rally this coming March - that will essentially be proving the chassis spec we have in mind, including a fancy new shock from Dutch company TracTive (they are ex-WP guys that set up on their own when WP was 'absorbed' by KTM)...
Then once the 450cc engine is ready to install, we'll simply swap it over and reprogram the stock ECU with the specific map for the 450.
Sounds all so simple when I write it down doesn't it?!

Discussion in 'PatsFans.com - Patriots Fan Forum' started by Gon_Trevil, Jan 6, 2007.
I found the stupidest poll on the Sports Illustrated website.
Patritos? what are we mexicans now?
That reminds me, I need to pick up some Doritos for the tailgate tomorrow. Thanks.
or Tostitos..or a Burrito.
my game day meal: Domino's pizza + Buffalo Wings + Bread Sticks
A couple of days ago it said Giants, that's funny.
Give me a break - that was obviously altered. I saw that poll earlier in the week and it said Jets...Pretty good work!
I think they mean our draft pick.
If the 8-7 seahags pull an upset and lower the value of our pick I will be upset.
First time I've ever seen our team spelled that way.
THe only way the Seahawks pick gets a lower value is if they go to the superbowl. THe draft order is set. The seahawks pick is number 22.
Then I'm rootin' for Dallas tonight. Will definitely need a long, hot shower afterward though.
looks like the work of some soon to be fired intern at SI in New York
So according to this poll, if we win it's an upset. If the Jets win it's an... upset? Oook.

Spring 2013
- 0Nov 14, '12 by ginna121I just got my reg date for the Spring 2013 semester and I got priority reg because of being in the Honors Program. I now know that I will be able to get into the classes that I was not able to get into before. I am planning on taking:
A and P 101
Chemistry 107(Biochem)
English Comp
This I think will be my hardest semester yet. What about you???? Let me know what's going on for you next semester
- 0Nov 15, '12 by adoRNo2b2015Chemistry and lab from January until Match with an English class and then from March until May I have micro with lab and A&P 2 with lab. Can't wait!
- 0Nov 15, '12 by queseraseraMicrobiology
Developmental Psychology
Writing for Professionals
Creative writing (Which I don't want to take but I took it before, about 3 years ago before I knew what my major would be, and it's my only C on my transcript so I'm retaking it)
Good luck to everyone in their spring semester!
- 0Nov 15, '12 by tmartin87_05For spring I have microbiology, A&P 1, english 2 (online), success in nursing (online, first 8wks), lifespan psych (online, second 8wks). I'm really excited to be starting new classes soon! I'm tired of my psych 1, english 1, and intro to biology. Ready for something new. A little worried I may be taking on too much next semester but I'll make it work. I'm a stay at home mom of 2 boys (6&3). Anybody else getting their associates in applied science nursing degree? Mines a 2yr program through my local community college.
- 0Nov 20, '12 by ConstantlyEvolvingWell spring will be my last & final semester of pre-reqs so I will be taking a&p 1, psych 101 & nutrition! Then I have to wait patiently until Sept 1, 2013 to submit my petition for the Spring 2014 class!
- 1Nov 20, '12 by SakuraChanAah! My registration date is next Tuesday and I'm freaking out! (I'm in the honors program at my CCC too!) Luckily, I contacted my Honors counselor and thankfully (SO thankful) she's having walk-in appointments tomorrow....
But anyways...my schedule:
-CHEM 101 OR 107 (not sure if I should take Chem of Life -its called like that at my CC-)
-Nutrition 101
-English 101
I'm thinking of not doing CHEM and A&P together...because a lot of people have advised me not to...but I'm so tempted to do it because I'm typically the student that if she's not pressured, will go into procrastination mode...thus, I am speaking to my counselor tomorrow and hopefully she'll give me her advice...all I know for sure is that I need a 4.0....LOL!!!
Good luck to everyone! (: I've been staring at my school's spring schedule for days now....haha.
- 0Nov 20, '12 by Lovely86I cannot wait until this semester is over! I am so mad about the Chemistry for Health Sciences and Psychology -Human Growth and Development classes that I am taking right now online. The teachers are just terrible and never respond to any questions!
Next semester I will be taking:
Nursing Fundamentals (7credits)
A&P II (4credits)
Other than that I still need my Microbiology class taken care of but they only offer this one on a Friday afternoon, and it would interfere with my lab and clinicals for nursing. During the summer then
- 0Nov 21, '12 by queseraseraI see a lot of people taking a&p I with another science class, stop! You're all making me think I want to take 2 science classes!!

DEM Deer culling fact sheet
Culling will commence on Monday, Feb. 24
Culling will generally occur between 4 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.
The Department of Environmental Management (DEM) representatives will notify the property owners and the neighbors (all of whom have previously been spoken to) any day the culling occurs on their property or for neighbors in vicinity.
The Police will have knowledge of each day's activities and will be in the vicinity to observe and protect the process. They will not be participating in the culling itself.
The DEM, in anticipation of this program, promulgated emergency regulations to cover certain aspects of the culling as part of their authority to manage wildlife. However, their authority does not extend to waiving the State law forbidding the use of silencers or forbidding loaded weapons in vehicles upon public highways or shooting from vehicles on public highways. These two actions are not and will not be used in the culling process.
Baiting began last week. Certain locations have been reviewed and eliminated in concert with the police.
Property owners of properties that are part of this program have terminated their permission for recreational hunting in order to support the baiting and culling process. Town hunting on all other properties where permission was granted — and on Town lands — will continue until Feb. 28 as originally scheduled.
The self-contained processing trailers will arrive on Feb. 20-21 and set up in the Town Hall parking lot.
Lisa Sprague, on behalf of the Deer Task Force, is the point-person for the distribution of deer meat. Originally planned for distribution of meat in 10-pound frozen packages, the butcher has indicated that he can have meat available unfrozen if people would like to package it themselves in smaller quantities. The butcher plans to be working after 4 p.m. into the night and have meat ready for pick up each day. Contact can be made with Lisa as to whether you want fresh or frozen.
Further updates next week.

Well, take two on the kitchen/dinette is going slowly. The ceiling is done and I'm now working on edges for the new color (which, by the way, is so similar to the original color that it's hard to see where I've painted and where I haven't).
May the Lord BLESS the person who said that painting IS exercise! I've thought of them with gratitude each time I've gone up and down the ladder.
I'll be glad when this project is done because I don't think I want to see a paint brush again for a long, long time.
I'm trying to run a 5K three times a week with all of this painting going on. As soon as it's over I'll get back to my dumbbells, hopefully with a new enthusiasm.
Maine is only a few weeks away at this point and I doubt I'll meet that elusive 139 lbs goal. The kitchen has been a mess with the project and I haven't been eating very well.
But, at least the kitchen/dinette will look nice!
I took last week off from exercising because I finally mustered up the courage to do something about the contractor white on white theme of our new home.
It will be a year at the end of August that we're in the house and it was time to get brave and make a bold move, hoping for beautiful.
Win some. Lose some.
So the kitchen/dinette turned out orange. At least I never fell off the ladder or off the counter tops as I stood on tippy-toes to reach the ceiling.
They boys love it! They say it reminds them of our favorite Mexican food restaurant in CT - not the look I was going for...
I'm going to take another crack at it this week, but I couldn't take another week off from exercising, so I got up early, ran a 5K, got the house moving in the right direction and get back to it.
I'm sorry I haven't been a very good SP team this past week. I'm still in the game!
Wow, did I ever get whooped by the heat/sun/humidity this morning.
I tried to run my 5K and all the looking at my feet and repeating, "you can do it, you can do it" didn't cut the mustard today.
After about two and a half miles I really felt dizzy and like I was going to faint, so I finally gave in and walked home. I just couldn't keep going. It's only 86 degrees, but I was in the scorching sun and it's very humid.
I've never seem my face so red.
Once I got home I jogged inside until I finished the 5K.
So I finished a 5K but my time was 13 minutes a mile instead of my usual 12.
Note to self: GET out there before it gets too hot and sunny you lazy bum!
My 14 year old son, Joshua, is a sweetheart!
Today he was my "payday grocery shopping" sidekick and while buzzing from one store to another I shared with him my sugar challenges of late.
Josh, who was holding the 4 page grocery list, immediately scratched a few things off the list, including:
- Ice cream
- Ice cream cones
- Sprinkles
I protested, "But Josh, it's the summer and you love an ice cream cone treat. That's so nice of you, but you don't have to do that."
Josh encouraged me that my sugar-free efforts were important and that we could all make sacrifices to help me to be successful.
So SWEET!
Then, later on, when it was time to purchase our special dessert for family movie/pizza night, Josh decided we'd have a fresh fruit salad and that he'd make it up himself.
Again I say, SO SWEET!
So here's a photo of my handsome, fruit-wielding son, Joshua.
Day two - sugar-free...here I come! (Thanks to a little help from all of my SP friends!)
Have a GREAT weekend!
I'm not sure what is going on with me. I was on such a good, strong and positive roll.
My eating this past week is really all over the map. I'm also not being faithful with my dumbbell routine like I was.
I've run a 5K three times in the past week. I'm not sure if that is making me insanely hungry or what, but my portions are blown out of the water, salad is nowhere on my plate and carbs RULE!
Being a vegan vegetarian (no meat, dairy, eggs) it's not like I'm eating bacon cheeseburgers with fries or anything, but rather it's things like two HUGE bowls of homemade (oil-free) pesto pasta. I even grew the basil and parsley myself! I can't even guess how many servings of pasta I'm eating (there were leftovers and they called to me for lunch...)
I'm having a serious sugar issue, too. Every single day I try to go sugar-free and by the close of the day I have sugar.
On Wednesday night someone handed me a piece of chocolate cake and I ate it! White sugar, white flour no doubt eggs and dairy.
It's like I have exactly zero will power.
I actually had trouble sleeping last night because I was so disappointed and discouraged at this week's eating.
On a positive note, I've been having green smoothies for breakfast. That's one good thing.
I haven't had any candy. That's another good thing.
Last night my husband, who just got back from a business trip, asked me out for an ice cream cone. I LOVE a small coconut sorbet with chocolate sprinkles on a cake cone.
I wish I said, "Thanks honey, but how about I slice us up an apple and you join me on the porch? I'm watching the sunset..."
Instead I said, "Yeah buddy! Let's go!"
I'd guess there's more calories in my sweet treat than I burn in running a 5K.
I wish I could buy one of those plastic 5 lbs of fat models. I think that would be a good motivator for me to stick with the plan.
Well today is payday grocery shopping and being the mother of three teen boys, I better get to it. It's also family pizza/movie night which is a family favorite.
Have a great weekend everyone!

When the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was passed in 1919, it ushered in the era of Prohibition, a period when the manufacture, distribution, and sale of alcohol was illegal. While it was the crowning jewel of the temperance movement, it was accompanied by soaring crime rates as organized crime fought for control of the black market for liquor. The era would last until January 1933 with passage of the 21st Amendment, repealing Prohibition. The 21st amendment is unique in that it is the only amendment among 27 to have been ratified by state conventions rather than by state legislatures.

As the region's families change and populations age, the elderly are being left behind. National pension systems, and creative policy decisions, are needed to fill the gap.
For centuries in Asia and the Pacific there has been a system for taking care of the elderly. Extended families lived together and the young took care of the old. The family's resources and personal care, were the safety for the region's grandmothers and grandfathers.
Though many families remain strong, their situations have changed. Millions of individuals have moved to cities in pursuit of the economic prosperity of Asia's urban centers. Families, and their living spaces in cities, are smaller. Adult children are working longer.
Though Asia's prosperity has improved the lives of millions, it has also created the unintended side effect of making many of the region's elderly more vulnerable.
These societal changes are coming at a time when seismic demographic shifts are underway in the region. The young dynamic populations that fueled Asia's stunning economic growth in recent decades are entering their retirement years.
"What sets Asia apart from earlier episodes of aging in other parts of the world is the sheer scale and speed of its aging," notes the report Pension Systems and Old-Age Income Support in East and Southeast Asia [2]. "Indeed, demographic transition is one of Asia's biggest structural shifts in the medium and long term."
These and other factors are combining to create a new class of particularly vulnerable poor: the elderly poor. Their number is expected to increase from 410 million in 2007 to about 1.3 billion by 2050. At that point, there will be more elderly people in Asia than there will be workers to support them.
"Many governments are now confronted by a substantial and highly vulnerable segment of the population in urgent need of some form of social protection, largely because older people are disproportionately affected by poverty," states the report Social Protection for Older Persons, Social Pensions in Asia [3].
Across the region, the data is staggering.
In Viet Nam, government projections indicate that the percentage of the population that is elderly will grow from 9 percent in 2009 to 26 percent in 2050.
In Singapore, the United Nations projects that the number of people aged 65 and older in will increase 207 percent, from about 460,000 in 2010 to 1.4 million in 2030.
In the People's Republic of China, there are already more elderly people than in all of Europe.
In Malaysia, the elderly population has grown at a faster rate than the general population for every decade since 1970. Contributing to this is the fact that between 1970 and 2005, life expectancy in the country increased by 10 years.
As noted in the report Aging, Economic Growth, and Old-Age Security in Asia [4], demographic transition poses two huge strategic challenges for Asia: sustaining growth in the face of less favorable demographic structures, and delivering affordable, adequate and sustainable old-age income support for the region's elderly population. This is an issue as most Asian countries have spotty coverage of their elderly populations by pension system. The programs are often inefficient, unfair, non-inclusive and not well-established.
For example, in the Republic of Korea 70 percent of people older than 65 do not receive a pension. In Indonesia, 100 percent of government workers receive a pension but only 14 percent of those in the private sector have such a benefit.
To address the situation, and maintain the gains made in the last few decades, Asian countries need to develop pension systems that offer coverage and benefits that are reliable and fair. As longevity increases, and older people want to work, more flexible retirement ages also need to be introduced.
Each country is unique but some broad reforms are generally necessary across the region in order to have effective pension systems.
"Many governments are now confronted by a substantial and highly vulnerable segment of the population in urgent need of some form of social protection, largely because older people are disproportionately affected by poverty"
- Social Protection for Older Persons, Social Pensions in Asia
For one, governments in the region need to build strong, capable institutions staffed with professionals who can efficiently handle the data collection, record keeping and other nitty gritty functions of a strong pension system.
In addition, government regulation of such systems needs to be modernized and made more efficient. Rigorous financial controls and transparency are vital ingredients for a system handling large amounts of government funds that are vital for the well-being of many in society.
The parameters of existing pension systems - including retirement age, contribution rate and benefits - need to be rationalized in light of the national economic and demographic situation.
Policy makers in the region can also make decisions that take the pressure off national pensions systems. Policies can be instituted to encourage a higher birth rate, to encourage more work opportunities for elderly people who want to work for longer, and provide tax breaks for children to support their parents.

"It's just evolving. Marc had met someone in Europe that he quite liked and I quite liked. I love the idea of someone with us designing furniture," Duffy said. "Like what you're sitting on you can also order or buy. That's how everything evolves for us. We don't have a specific business plan."
Jacobs launched his diffusion Marc by Marc Jacobs collection at retail in February 2001, his second attempt at a lower-priced line, four years after Marc Jacobs Look closed in the U.S. From the onset, the Marc by Marc line was a smash-hit at retail and now is carried at stores such as Fred Segal, Scoop, Bergdorf Goodman, Barneys New York and Bloomingdale's.
