CANNES, France — Leaders of the world's biggest economies were scrambling Friday for ways in which they could help Europe ringfence its raging debt crisis without exacerbating their own money troubles.
But as on the first day of their summit, much attention in the swanky seaside town of Cannes in southern France will center on Greece, where Prime Minister George Papandreou faces a confidence vote in Parliament.
The abandonment of the referendum pledge over last week's rescue deal may have eased some market concerns over a disorderly Greek debt default but the country remains mired in a crisis that could see the Socialist government fall and early elections called.
On their final day of their get-together, the leaders of the Group of 20 economies will be looking at ways to boost the firepower of the International Monetary Fund, the institution that was set up as the lender of last resort for struggling governments after World War II.
With their own finances already stretched from bailing out Greece, Ireland and Portugal — and traditional allies like the United States wrestling with their own problems — eurozone countries are looking to the IMF to use its resources and rescue experience to help prevent the debt crisis from spreading to large economies like Italy and Spain.
But within the IMF, the powers have shifted.
Until two years ago, the IMF — dominated by the traditional powers in Europe and the U.S. — mostly applied the painful adjustment programs that are attached to its financial lifelines to poor and emerging economies in Asia, Latin America and Africa.
Now, it's growing powers like China, Brazil and South Africa that have to decide whether helping Europe is a worthy investment.
The political turmoil in Greece in recent days and doubts over whether Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi can be trusted to implement promised reform measures meant to revive the country's lackluster economy and bring down its massive debt haven't helped.
But at the same time, the ensuing market turbulence has increased the need for bigger financial safety nets in Europe.
Last week, eurozone leaders decided to boost the firepower of their €440 billion ($606 billion) bailout fund by seeking financing from outside investors. Those additional resources could then be used to buy up bonds from wobbly countries like Italy and Spain and help them and others recapitalize banks hit by the turmoil on the markets.
Yet cash-rich countries like China, Russia and Brazil quickly made clear that any investment from their side would have to be channeled through the IMF. That would ensure that their loans come linked to strict economic conditions and could also give them more influence within the fund.
European Union officials said that one option that has emerged from talks in Cannes over recent days is for the IMF to set up a separate "administrative account" — a sort of trust fund that would be overseen by the fund but not use any of its own resources — that could act alongside the eurozone's own bailout fund.
Another option, an outright increase of the IMF's own resources, was deemed less likely amid strong opposition from the U.S. and other countries, who don't want to risk their own taxpayers' money at a time they are trying to rein in spending.
A third option for bigger IMF involvement would be an overall increase in the IMF's special drawing rights that could then be used to strengthen the eurozone's bailout fund. Special drawing rights are the IMF's own reserve currency, which can be swapped for cash at central banks around the world.
But the officials, who were speaking on condition of anonymity, warned that leaders continued to wrestle over the different options, and that although there was a strong understanding that the G-20 needed to send a confidence-building signal, it was still unclear what option would end up in the final communique.

Topic: Shade Tolerant
Title: Austin Shade Plants for Pots
Answered by: Dean Garrett
I live in a condo in Austin Texas so I don't have any flower beds or yard space. I would like to put a few large pots of plants and flowers on my front patio but it's mostly shaded during the day. What types of shade plants would flourish well in pots in the climate where I live?ANSWER:
Mr. Smarty Plants has been in exactly the same situation before and found several native plants that did well in pots in dappled shade.
A favorite was Chile Pequin (Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum), a 2-3 ft. deciduous shrub with small, red or orange chile pepper berries preceded by small white flowers. I trimmed it each winter to keep it at a size I liked and it produced spectacularly, delighting the mockingbirds. A plus is that you can use the chile peppers yourself in cooking - if you can stand the heat. They are exceedingly hot.
Another semi-woody plant that can get somewhat larger is Turkscap (Malvaviscus arboreus var. drummondii), a common local native with hand-sized deciduous leaves and hummingbird-attracting red flowers in spring and summer. It should have a large pot and should be cut back each winter to keep it from getting too tall for the space.
A locally native plant that can lend a tropical lushness is River Fern or Wood Fern (Thelypteris kunthii). I massed it in pots and used it to foreground or background other plants.
Another plant to mass is a grass, Inland Sea Oats (Chasmanthium latifolium), a common native landscaping grass for shade that also does well in pots. Grows to two or three feet. Cut it back at the end of winter and use the cut stalks in dried arrangements.
Another favorite was Cedar Sage (Salvia roemeriana), a scallop-leaved salvia with brilliant red flowers in spring and intermittently through the summer. Plant several in a large pot or single ones in smaller pots to attract hummingbirds.
The ferny foliage of Eastern Red Columbine (Aquilegia canadensis) makes it a good accent plant and its red and yellow flowers are a delight in the spring.
At the base of the Chile Pequin, I planted the spring-blooming perennial, Fragrant Phlox (Phlox pilosa), which spilled over the edge of the pot and perfumed the air when in bloom. It needs at least dappled sunlight, though.
All these plants will either die to the ground or lose their leaves in winter, but unlike the nursery tropicals normally planted in pots, they can survive our cold winters and will reappear in spring.

A new direction for Dubai Taxi Corporation
RTA and DTC launch new system to drive customer satisfaction.
September 8, 2013 2:13 by kippreport
As the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai looks to improve the overall levels of satisfaction among customers and drivers alike, the Dubai Taxi Corporation (DTC) has launched a new system for managing the performance of its vehicles.
Serving as a daily monitor, the 24-hour system is meant to retain operational and technical efficiency by following up with its vehicles (and motorists) and communicating with drivers in cases of emergency, crises or accidents, as well as receiving calls and complaints from customers.
According to a statement by DTC, a working team has been formed to develop the system, learning from the best practises nationwide and from abroad.
Nine performance indicators defined for the technical system this year, include: low driver income, detailed reporting on drivers' procrastination, unknown mileage, vehicles retained by drivers over 24 hours, out-of-service vehicles, vehicles without assigned drivers, taximeter violations, number of drivers outside Dubai and the speed report.
The new system is expected to raise satisfaction levels to meet this year's set targets of 82 per cent for customers, 73 per cent for society and 80 per cent for drivers.
The RTA has introduced various measures this year to tackle the most common complaints and enhance overall customer experience. These include:
– Last week a project launched by DTC and the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing announced that taxi drivers are being trained to act as tourist guides, with approximately 1,600 drivers having already qualified.
– In August, all taxi drivers were given a six-month package of personal care tools to maintain their personal hygiene throughout the day.
– In June, the authority revealed plans for a high-tech navigation systems (ie 'smart maps') to be installed in Dubai's 8,007 taxis by the end of the year.
– Later that month, the AMAN ('safety') system was unveiled, which is to be implemented across all taxis in the country to slow down speeding drivers.

With blacklist I hope to turn aquarists attention toward various species that have a poor rate of survivability in marine/reef aquariums. It's not uncommon to inadvertently end up with a specimen that refuses to feed, reacts poorly to new conditions, or simply fails to thrive within a captive environment. Some of these species are kept by advanced aquarists, or public aquariums and others simply don't belong in captivity. Other species can survive, but require a tank of their own with very specific guidelines for aquascaping, filtration and feeding. MORE

Capital's hotels are heading for a slide
Related Articles
Published: 14 January 2013
London's hotel sector is set to suffer an Olympic-sized hangover this year amid a glut of new hotel rooms and slumping demand, a PricewaterhouseCoopers report warns.
PwC said the average price of a London hotel room would fall 2.7 per cent this year to £139.07, although this still leaves the capital the fourth most expensive of the 19 major European cities in its market study.
The impact of another 5000 new rooms in the capital, including operator Shangri-La's 202-room hotel spread over 19 floors of the Shard skyscraper, due to open in the spring, also means occupancy rates will slip at established luxury destinations such as The Savoy in The Strand and The Ritz in Piccadilly.
London's standard industry benchmark, revenues per available room, will fall 6.8% this year according to PwC's forecasts, leaving it the worst performer among Europe's leading cities.
But London's global status should ensure any difficulties are merely a blip, the report adds. It says it does not expect "temporary factors", such as the surge in supply, "to hold London back for long".

Comments about Joseph Marc 4022 Silver & Brown:
My eyes are so bad that lasik surgery isn't even an option for me. I usually wear contcts, but must have a back-up pair of glasses. These are strong frames (they don't get out of shape if I fall asleep in them). They hide the thickness of my lenses well and they look great for home or if I must wear them to work. I tend to drop my glasses a lot while feeling around for them, and these frames have not scratched at all. I'm happy with them.

Super Energy Gayatri is also called Bhavani. When the Primordial Divine Power is worshipped as Bhavani, such intense divine light manifests in a spiritual seeker, which helps in overcoming undesirable taints in one's psyche. It can be called an energy stream. Bhavani is also called Durga, Bhairavi, Chandi, Kankali etc. Her face and attitude is quite ferocious. She can combat obstacles and turbulence very efficiently. Her vehicle is a lion. A lion symbolizes daring, attack etc. She holds such weapons in Her hands that can destroy Her enemies to pulp. In a worldly sense she is called Bhavani. Her aim is to ward off undesirable elements. The weapons of demons induce fear and terror in the world. Hence over here we do not use the word Bhavani. Bhavani means one who opposes unethical, illegal behaviour and instead encourages love and brotherhood in world humanity.
One leg of righteousness can be utilized for service, spiritual practices, compassion, help and generosity. This is its creative aspect. The second aspect is to oppose immoral behaviour. Without this righteousness is unfulfilled and imbalanced. In order to protect sacred qualities, it is imperative that vileness be opposed. This power to oppose is called Bhavani. Her divine sports are described as Chandi and Durga. The Devi Bhagwat makes a special mention of this Super Power. It is understood as one who destroys demons and circumstances that are dire. The function of God's incarnation (Avatar) is to destroy unrighteousness and replace it with righteousness. Thus both complement one another. Good management involves both creation and destruction. Just as eating nourishing food is important, so too is excretion of urine, faeces etc. Along with endeavour of creation and propagation desctruction too is most required.
Any government in power not only looks after its citizens' needs but also overcomes agitations /attacks from foreign nations or within their own country. They protect their country with the help of army, navy, police etc. A farmer and a gardener while growing various flowers, fruits, grains etc. have to also protect their crop from germs, insects etc. If they don't do so, all their efforts will go in vain. Not only this but these undesirable elements will gain the power to inflict more losses. Thus just as it is important to sow sacred qualities in our minds, so too it is required that taints and distortions be uprooted. If you perform only one of these tasks, social arrangement will not maintain a good balance.
The first step of opposition is to overcome one's vile intellect. Taints and distortions that are rooted deep down in our minds create our downfall. Bad habits lead to intoxication, vile activities etc. Thus we have to face many hardships in life. In order to uproot the taints of the mind, one has to undergo austerities and various spiritual practices.
Such vile activities prevail in society like lethargy, indolence, dirty habits, unruly behaviour, narrow mindedness, selfishness etc. which induce others to look down upon us and ignore us. Thus they are called beasts, ghosts etc. When lowly desires and egoistic behaviour are on the rise man becomes anti social, terrorist like and executes undesirable tasks. As a result he is hated and insulted by others. To overcome such a situation man should imbibe pious qualities and sacred actions. Bhavani is that enterprise which helps purify one's soul. Self victory is the greatest victory.
In society where one sees creative and cooperative endeavour, there too vileness crops in. The net of inethics and blind beliefs is indeed very widespread. As a result many individual and social problems crop up. Thus intense efforts have to be made, both individually and socially, to overcome them. This effort is called Chandi. She is also Bhavani. Bhavani encourages creation and also opposition of unwanted elements. Gayatri is the presiding deity of a sacred intellect. Gayatri worship helps one augment valour, daring and enterprise.

Shalom Freedman
When I Fall Apart
Where will God be?
When I can no longer do it anymore
When I have lost it completely
Where will God be?
Will God let this most precious me
The only one I have
Go like all the rest
Down into that stinking ground
Or into that dead wall
Like everyone else who has ever been
Even those many times better than me?
It almost happened today
I felt myself falling apart
Somehow it has not happened yet
How soon it will be
I don't know-
I had better shut up here
And pray to God
No reader
Sympathetic as they might be
Can help me
Only God-

Griff was best known in CHE's heyday (when it boasted some 4,000 members) as its conference organiser and he was mainly responsible for keeping it going when it declined some years ago.
I had been friendly with Griff since I joined CHE in the 1960s and set up one of its local groups – Chilterns CHE – in 1970. I have been in touch with him many times since then, notably concerned the cooperation of CHE and the Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association (GALHA) in running the Winter Fairs at London's Conway Hall in the 1980s and their joint sponsorship of Winter Pride at County Hall and ULU later in that decade. This is described by Griff in detail in the book 'Out of the Shadows: a history of the pioneering London gay groups and organisations', 1967 – 2000 which will be promoted at the CHE Reunion on 27 November at the Friends Meeting House, Euston Road, London.
RIP Griff
-xxxxx- -
RIP Griff. A passionate advocate. My privilege to have met him through the Sexual Activities Working Group at Hampstead Heath.
This is very sad news. Griffith was a trailblazer. He was always so encouraging and supportive of my own gay 'activism' (police liaison work) as well as my gay history work. He was always THERE. He will be missed.
knowing Griff was a privilage. i only knew him for a short time through the LGBT advisory grop for MPS, he did eduacte me on the struggle that we as the LGBT community faced in the early years of our stuggle for equality, and still after 40 years he never lost that passion….REST IN PEACE GRIFF
Griff – or Vaughan, as the family called him – was my second cousin, whom I only met two years ago, when we had a meal together. We were in touch through another relative (whom I had contacted through Genes Reunited), and I was and am very happy to have met at last this indomitable man, bursting with news of the family but also with a justified pride at his own work for gay rights. I wish I had got to know him much better but feel privileged to have met him even on that one occasion. RIP indeed, as he richly deserves after such a dedicated and active life. (I got to hear of his death only two days ago, so this comment comes, alas, very late.)

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE a bold lip. Hot pink, deep red, velvet berry, I love them all. But there are some days where I don't want to have to check to make sure my lipstick isn't smudged or fading.
That's when natural lipstick colors are clutch. These your-lips-but-better shades add a polish to your look while still being low maintenance. If these shades start to smudge or fade, it's not as big of a deal since they match my natural lip color closely. If I don't have time to freshen up for a couple of hours, I don't even have to worry.
There are lots of great options out there and shades for all skin tones, but I wanted to share five of my favorites. These perfectly compliment my ghostly-pale complexion and blonde locks, and I'd love to hear if they work for other folks as well!
Palladio in Lady Rose | Bobbi Brown in Blue Raspberry | Fresh in Petal
Sensai in Akanezome | Rimmel in Tower of Mauve
And of course, you could always go really natural and just rock a little lip balm, but where's the fun in that? There is just something so nice about applying a lovely lipstick as you're getting ready in the morning. I don't know about you, but it makes me feel like I'm ready to take on the world!
What are your favorite natural lipstick colors?

Carlisle woman set up business to help bereaved cope with grief
Last updated at 15:05, Friday, 25 January 2013
A new business in Carlisle aims to help those who have suffered bereavement cope with grief and get their lives on track.
Former web designer Sarah Clive has drawn on her experiences following the death of her father to set up Inspired by Life, which is running two retreats later this year.
She believes it is the only business of its kind in the UK.
The 33-year-old, originally from Oxford, went into free fall after her father died in 2007.
She said: "He had been diagnosed with cancer five years previously. They initially gave him six months to live but he defied all odds and lasted another five years.
"Even though we knew it was coming, his death was still very difficult to deal with.
"Everybody says the wrong thing and you find it difficult to relate to people. You get very emotional. I got angry when people said, 'I'm sorry for your loss'. They made it sound like losing a wallet in the supermarket.
"For the next couple of years, I made every bad decision you could make.
"I moved 300 miles [from Newcastle] to a place I'd never lived before [Somerset].
"I didn't have the support network I needed. I took jobs I shouldn't have because I was thinking emotionally. My relationship broke down and I got into other relationships I shouldn't have been in.
"I came to the conclusion that I was incredibly unhappy. I missed my dad. I hated what I was doing and I didn't live near my friends."
It was then that she decided to put her experiences to good use, and Inspired by Life was born. She said: "I wanted to do something that was valuable, not just selling people things they don't need."
The first retreat in April runs for three days and aims to help people, who feel they are veering off course after bereavement, to turn their lives around.
There will be experts in counselling, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and emotional-freedom technique (EFT), a psychological method to optimise emotional health.
Participants will try their hand at music making, song writing, poetry, storytelling, photography and art in a safe, supportive environment.
Sarah said: "These are creative therapies to create something tangible out of their emotions, which are essentially intangible. People will get immersed in different things.
"The idea is to get them to enjoy it, have fun, and recognise there are things that everyone can do. It's about recognising what's inside you and what's around you."
A second two-day retreat in June is designed for the recently bereaved who still feel raw, to give them the tools and techniques to cope.
There are workshops in animal-assisted therapy, NLP and EFT, using food to boost your mood, and a speaker from the mental-health charity Mind. Both retreats are at Shepherds Dene in Northumberland. Places cost £999 for the two-day retreat and £1,249 for the three-day version.
Sarah said: "The retreats are jam-packed with experts, all of whom are incredibly good at inspiring others."
She expects clients to come from all over the country.
Her decision to move to Carlisle to launch the business – Inspired by Life operates from her home in Broad Street – was an aesthetic one.
She said: "I wanted a special location. When you think about Cumbria, you think about the Lake District and all the writers and poets and artists who have been inspired by the landscape and the environment.
"I couldn't think of a more perfect place to set up. Everyone I've met has been welcoming. It has been a very positive move coming here."
Inspired by Life also offers an online coaching package, enabling clients to face their grief, and the issues holding them back, over a six-month period.
And it has a You Tube channel, surviving loss, where people can send videos talking about their experiences of bereavement. This, Sarah hopes, will build up to create a "landscape of grief" that people can relate to.

Peggy, Glad it works for you. Your question on this thread, was something I have been working on, so I thought I would create a blog about it. I have spent most of the day cleaning up my Census Records. Starting with the Template feature, but now am re-doing how I do the Websearch on Ancestry for Census Records. Before, I did the search on anyone, but now have changed to just do the Web Search and Web Merge on the Head of Household. BUT, then I pick up everyone on that Census Record for that Household. Various Census years, at Ancestry merges the family differently. Thank you, Russ Notify Administrator about this message?

Ottawa licensing for-profit pot farms
Quality marijuana for medical users
OTTAWA -- The Conservative government is launching a $1.3-billion free market in medical marijuana this Tuesday, eventually providing an expected 450,000 Canadians with quality weed.
Health Canada is phasing out an older system on Monday that mostly relied on small-scale, homegrown medical marijuana of varying quality, often diverted illegally to the black market.
Related Items
In its place, large indoor marijuana farms certified by the RCMP and health inspectors will produce, package and distribute a range of standardized weed, all of it sold for whatever price the market will bear. The first sales are expected in the next few weeks, delivered directly by secure courier.
"We're fairly confident that we'll have a healthy commercial industry in time," Sophie Galarneau, a senior official with the department, said in an interview.
"It's a whole other ball game."
The sanctioned birth of large-scale, free-market marijuana production comes as the Conservatives pillory Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau's campaign to legalize recreational marijuana.
Health Canada is placing no limits on the number of these new capital-intensive facilities, which will have mandatory vaults and security systems. Private-dwelling production will be banned. Imports from places such as the Netherlands will be allowed.
Already 156 firms have applied for lucrative producer and distributor status since June, with the first two receiving licences just last week.
The old system fostered only a cottage industry, with 4,200 growers licenced to produce for a maximum of two patients each. The Mounties have complained repeatedly these grow-ops were often a front for criminal organizations.
The next six months are a transition period, as Health Canada phases out the old system by March 31, while encouraging medical marijuana users to register under the replacement regime and start buying from the factory farms.
There are currently 37,400 medical marijuana users recognized by the department, but officials project that number will swell more than 10-fold, to as many as 450,000 people, by 2024.
The profit potential is enormous. A gram of dried marijuana on the street sells for about $10 and Health Canada projects the legal stuff will average about $7.60 next year, as producers set prices without interference from government.
Chuck Rifici of Tweed Inc. has applied for a licence to produce medical weed in an abandoned Hershey chocolate factory in hardscrabble Smiths Falls, Ont.
Rifici, who is a senior adviser to Trudeau, was cited in a Conservative cabinet minister's news release Friday that said the Liberals plan to "push pot," with no reference to Health Canada's own encouragement of marijuana entrepreneurs.
Rifici says he's trying to help a struggling community by providing jobs and giving suffering patients a quality product.
"There's a real need," he said in an interview. "You see what this medicine does to them."
Patients often use several grams a day to alleviate a wide range of symptoms, including cancer-related pain and nausea. They'll no longer be allowed to grow it for themselves under the new rules.
Revenues for the burgeoning new industry are expected to hit $1.3 billion a year by 2024, according to federal projections. Operators would be favourably positioned were marijuana ever legalized for recreational use, as it has been in two American states.
Health Canada only reluctantly established its medical marijuana program, driven by court decisions from 2001 forward that supported the rights of suffering patients, even as medical science has been slow to verify efficacy.

Sanjay Dutt deserves freedom: Tusshar Kapoor Last Updated : 23 Mar 2013 01:42:12 PM IST File photo: Tusshar Kapoor Bollywood actor Tusshar Kapoor, who worked with Sanjay Dutt in 'Shootout at Lokhandwala' is upset with the apex court verdict against the senior actor in the 1993 blasts case.
On Thursday, SC ordered Dutt to serve three-and-a-half years sentence as it reduced to five years the six-year jail term awarded to him by a designated TADA court in 2006. The 53-year-old has already spent 18 months behind the bars.
"I feel saddened about what happened. I don't know what is right and wrong as we don't know the exact information legally. Mr Dutt has strength. His family has faced a lot of things but he has always come out of it and I hope it happens this time as well. He has a survival instinct," Tusshar told reporters here at an event.
"I am not in a position (to comment on law) and don't know the law. I feel bad...everyone deserves freedom and he has that right too," he said reacting to the sentence.
Dutt was convicted by the TADA court for illegal possession of a AK- 56 rifle and a 9-mm pistol, which was part of the consignment of weapons and explosives brought to India for the co-ordinated Mumbai serial blasts on March 12, 1993.

Some old colleagues and I are looking to get together, but I am doubtful of their taste in restaurants. It should be a place where we can be boisterous, drink (perhaps byob), and people who keep halal/avoid pork can eat without worry. Cheap/reasonable but ideally sorta flashy(think restaurant that could have been in an episode of sex in the city).

M.I.A. will be forced to pay any fines imposed on NBC if the FCC decides to punish the network for airing footage of her flipping off the camera at Madonna's Super Bowl halftime performance. According to TMZ's sources, the rapper signed a contract with the NFL in which she agreed to indemnify the NFL for any money it may be forced to pay for potential FCC fines.
This clause no doubt was included following Janet Jackson's infamous "wardrobe malfunction" incident at Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004, which resulted in a $550,000 fine for CBS. (That fine was recently thrown out by a federal appeals court.)
Both NBC and the NFL apologized for M.I.A.'s antics yesterday. In a statement to the press, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said that the rapper did not reveal the obscene gesture in dress rehearsal, but improvised it in the moment.
