While receiving guidance and instructions from the Nashville District Corps of Engineers, Looney and his staff had the uncomfortable task to close the Corps' campgrounds to visitors after having given them a short evacuation notice. Campers' fees were not refunded when they left their campsites, but Looney said, "As soon as everything is up and running, all campers will receive a refund by filing an application at the same place they made their original reservation. We have received some advice that indicates that campers will receive it automatically, but that was last week's news. That could have changed by now."
On Friday morning, while Looney and his staff were discussing how to maintain closure of the day use facilities and the Corps boat ramps, they were notified (from Nashville) that the day use facilities should be reopened and the boat ramps would remain accessible.
"So, we'll just keep coming to work and do our jobs, until somebody tells us differently," Looney said..
In the meantime, state parks and other commercial camping areas in western Kentucky welcomed campers who had been evicted from the numerous campgrounds in Land Between the Lakes, among them the popular Hillman Ferry. Some campers were having a last meal at local restaurants on their way home, as they did not feel that they could pay for additional rental at another campground when they could not get a refund from the U.S. government for campgrounds that were being closed.
Irene Bryan, owner of LiteSide Garden Cafe and Bakery of Grand Rivers, less than one mile from the northern entrance of LBL, has watched her breakfast and lunch business dwindle to near emptiness.
"I've lost hundreds of dollars in revenue on a daily basis since the closure of LBL," she said. "Without the support of our local friends and community, we would have had no one. Some of the ones who got kicked out of Land Between the Lakes were mad and in no mood to eat out. They just wanted to go home. They weren't interested in staying around and looking for anyplace else."
Sandy Davis, office manager at Kentucky's Western Waterland, said many disappointed visitors were stopping by the office located at Interstate 24, Exit 31 to find alternate campgrounds, as many of them did not realize Land Between the Lakes is federal property.
"It's been a real education for everyone," she said, "as we explore what is a federal campground, a Corps of Engineers campground, and a commercial campground. The trouble was that by the time they got here and found out that they were out of luck, many of the commercial campgrounds were already full of those who had been told to leave both the LBL and the Corps campgrounds.
"For those who are not too mad to listen, we've been able to explain to them that the Trace through LBL is still open," she said. "The hiking trails are available, along with many of the biking trails and the roads leading to the shoreline. It's the LBL facilities that are closed, and we have no idea when they will reopen. We also have to caution them not to cross any barriers or try and proceed past any 'Closed' signs. Other than that, the park is still open, and law enforcement officers are excepted employees who remain on duty, along with the forest service employees who care for the animals."
Grand Rivers tourism officials remain optimistic that this week's annual Harvest Moon activities will attract the visitors back to their small village, and Trigg County and Cadiz tourism officials remain upbeat that the public will turn out for the annual Ham Festival events which are being celebrated all week in the Trigg County venue.
All area state parks are open; however, those who wish to camp should call ahead for availability.

Sometimes a carrot stick is just a carrot stick. But for many of us, it's a crunchy, bright orange vehicle for decadent dip—blue cheese, perhaps, or a nice herbed ranch. And as you dunk your sixth or seventh spear into that delicious dressing, you might tell yourself, Well, at least I'm eating a hearty serving of veggies right now. True—but you're also consuming quite a lot of salt, fat, and calories.
Wrecking our otherwise healthy food picks along with our waistlines is often beyond our control. In his book The End of Overeating, former FDA commissioner David Kessler, MD, explains that when you smell, see, or even think about "highly palatable" foods—ones that are high in fat, sugar, or salt—your brain can trigger the release of dopamine, the reward-seeking neurotransmitter. Just walking by a Krispy Kreme can cause your brain to send the "eat me" signal loud and clear. So in a way, you can blame the dopamine surge for forcing you to eat that glazed doughnut.
The fact is, it's possible to stop your pleasure-seeking brain from making menu decisions—you just need to know what to look for and be knowledgeable about what counts as a "pitfall." Check out these common acts of food sabotage, plus our easy strategies for steering clear of them, so that more often than not, you can keep delicious, healthy food top of mind, even in the face of temptation.

The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!
You know what's magic? Are you kidding me? The POSTSEASON!
Today- okay, yesterday- was a fairytale. Actually, this whole season has been a fairytale for the Giants . When Chris Haft of mlb.com wrote a blog post today titled "The fairytale isn't over yet" I thought, That is so true. For both the Giants and the Rangers, in my opinion. As Bruce Bochy put it, the cast-offs and the mis-fits have fit together. I am so pumped for the happily ever after for either team. I've been hoping for and predicting Rangers vs. Giants World Series for most of the year and am going to be happy whichever teams wins. Unlike the Fox producers, I'm sure, who seemed tremendously unmoved at the last out and ensuing celebration. But they both give pretty fun champagne filled interviews, so postgame should be good either way. Fear the Beard vs. Fear the Deer it is. Bengie vs. Buster it is.
In other news, I was totally, utterly and mercifully wrong. Some adorable person bought an HD TV for the apartment I'm staying in and I suckered someone into lending me a computer this weekend so life is good in NYC. Life is not good in that Citi Field is not, in fact, giving tours right now but I was doing more than my fair share of window-shopping on Madison and 5th Avenue and I stared at the 2010 World Series trophy in the window of Tiffany's for a good five minutes. It's mesmerizingly beautiful. So, of course, this was a photo op not to be missed. ::cue duhs:: I imbued the thing with my fantastic karma, so whoever gets it take note, it will have a strong feeling of, "Diamond Girl Was Here."
I am, in fact, aware how blurry that photo is and the creepiness of my face thereof and it's because it's a photo of a photo. Long and unriveting story why, but I'll post the gorgeous original when I get back to the Bay Area next week. In the meantime, if it gives your children or you, for that matter, nightmares, I apologize. I will also make you vanilla cupcakes someday, to make up for it.
Hugs to all,
Diamond Girl

Say:"Truth has come falsehood has vanished.Falsehood is always bound to vanish.(Qur'an,17:81)
…We hurl the truth against falsehood and it cuts hight through it …(Qur'an,21:18)
Prophet Solomon (pbuh)
Similarities Among Prophet Solomon (pbuh), Dhu'l – Qarnayn (pbuh), And The Mahdi(2)The Golden AgeAs we mentioned earlier, the appearance of these signs one after another gives believers the good tidings of the coming Golden Age. Just as in Prophet Solomon's (pbuh) day, the Golden Age will be a time of wealth, splendor, beauty, happiness, and peace. Life on Earth will be like Paradise, because the Qur'an's morality will prevail throughout the world. Doubtless, this is a grace and good tidings from God for the last period of world history. He announces in the following verse that: God has promised those of you who believe and do right actions that He will make them successors in the land, as He made those before them successors; will firmly establish for them their religion, with which He is pleased; and give them, in place of their fear, security. "They worship Me, not associating anything with Me." Any who do not believe after that, such people are deviators. (Qur'an, 24:55) The Times of Prophet Solomon (pbuh), Dhu'l-Qarnayn (pbuh), and the Golden AgeUp to this point, we have focused on Prophet Solomon's (pbuh) exemplary life and moral character, faithfulness toward God, and how he turned toward Him in everything he did. We have mentioned his courage, just dealings, and tolerance, as well as his forgiving, courteous, welcoming, peace-loving, and noble character. In addition, we have studied his methods of state administration and intelligence gathering, along with his diplomatic successes, public building, and artistic undertakings. We then looked at Dhu'l-Qarnayn (pbuh), a faithful servant who shared many similarities with Prophet Solomon (pbuh). All of this information shows that Prophet Solomon (pbuh) was engaged in artistic and scientific work about which we know nothing and cannot even guess. This great leader and Prophet made extraordinary advancements in various scientific and other fields in his day. Dhu'l-Qarnayn (pbuh) also established dominion over a vast territory and governed societies with superior knowledge. Another thing we considered while examining these accounts was the signs of the End Times that they contain. As we know from the hadiths, the Golden Age will be a time of extraordinary development in science, art, and technology, just as in the days of Prophet Solomon (pbuh) and Dhu'l-Qarnayn (pbuh). Although the other two periods have passed and the Golden Age is still to come, all of them are realities announced to us by God. The term Mahdism connotes the establishment of these two leaders' superior morality on a new, different, and broader foundation. In other words, the spirituality, logic, intelligence, and social manifestation of Prophet Solomon (pbuh) and Dhu'l-Qarnayn (pbuh) will reveal themselves in society in the End Times. These three periods are characterized by the prevalence of Islamic morality throughout their realms. God approves of all three of these periods. The times of Nebuchadnezzar II, Nimrod, and Pharaoh were governed by Satan and therefore were irreligious periods. Just as God made Islamic morality prevail after these periods, in the End Times our Lord will let His servants live under the rule of that same morality. This will be the Golden Age, which will be characterized by happiness, well-being, love, brotherhood, loyalty, peace, self-sacrifice, humanity, and helpfulness. Below are some examples of the similarity between the three times. |

For more information on the mango recalls, see "FDA posts Daniella mango recall; CDC says 103 sick"
(UPDATED COVERAGE, Sept. 4) Canadian officials have expanded a recall on mangoes and a growing number of U.S. companies have pulled whole and fresh-cut mango products from shelves in an outbreak of Salmonella Braenderup.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency on Aug. 31 extended the dates on the original recall by a week, to include Daniella brand mangoes shipped to retailers July 12 to Aug. 31,
Vancouver-based North American Produce Sales originally recalled mangoes shipped up to Aug. 24. The expanded recalled, according to the Canadian agency's website, still covers only Daniella brand mangoes with the PLU No. 4959.
According to the agency, which hasn't released information on how many cartons of mangoes were shipped, "several" people have become ill after eating the mangoes.
On Aug. 31, M.L. Catania Co. Ltd. recalled mangoes packed 6 to a clamshell with a Universal Product Code of 0 61968 61603 0, with packing dates of July 19 to Aug. 12. The Daniella brand sticker "may or may not be present on each mango, according to a news release from the Canadian Department of Food Inspection.
Canaday Safeway Ltd. on Sept. 2 added Fruit Tray Bien Fruit Blend (UPC 0 77745 23415 1) and Super Fruit Medley Fruit Blend (UPC 0 77745 24023 7). The products, distributed in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan, were not linked to any illnesses.
In the U.S., more companies that sold the Daniella brand mangoes whole or in fresh-cut products joined a growing list of recalls. There have been no illnesses linked to the products being recalled.
Ready Pac Foods, Irwindale, Calif., pulled 31 products under the Dining In, Ready Pac, Wal-Mart and Wawa brands. The products were distributed through Aug. 30, the day before the company issued the recall.
There are no illnesses related to the Ready Pac recalls, according to the company.
Taylor Farms New Jersey recalled nine Wawa-brand fresh-cut products that were shipped to Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Pineapple, watermelon and strawberry products were among those recalled because they were also processed on the same equipment as Daniella brand mangoes.

It was just before 7:00 AM on an autumn morning in 1978 when 18-year-old Renate Neufeld was awakened by the Secret Police. Her dormitory, which was off-limits even to her parents when they visited, was invaded by Stasi officers, who – in their mechanical compliance to indiscernible demands – took the young sprinter away for questioning.
As a relative newcomer to the TSC Berlin Sports Club, Neufeld was unique. Like her classmates, she grew up in East Germany, but unlike the rest of the sequestered school, her daily routine through adolescence hadn't been meted out by the Socialist Unity Party. Most of the students there were hand-selected at the age of twelve to become future representatives of East Germany at the Olympic Games. Since being chosen, they trained constantly to reach this goal. From physical exercises to nutrition, regimen and unconditional obedience was a way of life.
Neufeld, a champion hurdler in her teens, didn't join the school until after she turned 17-years-old. Immediately, her trainer set her up on a sophisticated program that would make up for lost time and reap increased ability from her surprising and untamed talent. Included in this plan was a supplemental diet of grey pills and green powder that he referred to as vitamins. Once she began consuming these "vitamins," her legs suffered frequent cramps, her voice deepened, facial hair grew on the top of her lip and she ceased menstruating.

EAS Myoplex Lite Ready to Drink Protein Shake is described as, "a calorie friendly shake that helps to maintain lean muscle." The "Lite" version has the sweeteners sucralose (aka Splenda) and acesulfame K, to keep the sugar grams down. I received samples of the Chocolate Fudge variety to try out - well, mostly I wanted the husband to try it because he drinks protein shakes after he works out ... and he's not into products that use high intensity sweeteners, so I was really curious to see what his reaction would be.
Both he and I loved this flavor. It's not too sweet, and the consistency is like milk ... chocolate milk. There are no off-flavors, or anything to give away the fact that high-intensity sweeteners are used. I wouldn't have used the word "fudge" anywhere in the naming though, since that conjures up images of a thick, intensely sweet shake - which this is not. Still, I don't want to take away from the fact that this is one tasty, ready to drink, protein-packed punch.
Each 8 ounce serving provides 170 calories, 2 grams of total fat, of which 0.5 grams is saturated (both 3% of the daily value), 5 grams of fiber (20% of the DV), 4 grams of sugars and 20 grams of protein.
The ingredients list includes milk protein concentrate as the protein source. As I mentioned before, I received samples of EAS Myople Lite Ready to Drink Protein Shake, but I saw them at my local grocery store, a 4-pack for $7.29! That's very expensive and probably that price is the only thing that would make me think twice about buying these in the future. I hope there are coupons somewhere, and that they regularly go on sale.

Nigerian Boxer Brings Power
July 14, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Parvez Fatteh, TMO, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
Lateef "Power" Kayode recorded an impressive 10-round unanimous decision victory on an exciting night of fights on ShoBox: The New Generation on SHOWTIME®. The unbeaten cruiserweight Kayode (17-0, 14 KOs) proved too much for Matt "Too Smooth" Godfrey (20-3, 14 KOs) Friday night at the Chumash Resort Casino. Kayode controlled the entire fight and sent Godfrey to the canvas a total of three times, eventually winning by scores of 98-90, 97-90, 98-89.
With Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach in his corner, Kayode has officially "graduated" from ShoBox, according to ShoBox color commentator and boxing expert Steve Farhood. "Kayode is what he is," Farhood said. "Boxers are always going to give him trouble, but he graduated tonight. And now he can aim for bigger things than ShoBox, which is a compliment."
Kayode, of Hollywood, Calif., by way of Lagos, Nigeria, knocked Godfrey to the floor in rounds one, five and nine with a devastating display of body shots and power punches to the head of Godfrey. "I thought we would finish (Godfrey) off earlier, but he took some good shots," Roach said. "It's OK we went the distance. (Kayode) needs rounds. Overall I thought it was a good performance."
Added Kayode, who won for the fifth time at Chumash and the third time in a row: "We said we were going to cut off the ring and that's what we did. People here know what I can do now. They've seen what I can do. Now it's on to bigger things."
Kayode, 27, is now regarded as one of the sport's elite prospects, which is quite a change from just a few years ago when he was stranded in New York. Accompanied by two friends, he came to the United States from his home in Lagos, Nigeria, to fight in a pre-Olympic tournament in Chicago.
Because of a miscommunication, when the three Nigerian men arrived at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, there was no one there to meet them. They spoke no English and had no idea how to communicate to anyone whom they were, what they wanted to do and where they wanted to go.
Kayode met several unscrupulous people along the way, all of whom identified themselves as players in boxing who would help him advance his career. Each only served to make the matter worse; he bounced around the country from city to city, essentially chasing false dreams. "For me to tell you that story, it would take days to go through everything," Kayode said in his deep baritone. "It was a very difficult time in my life."
He was working at a gym in Los Angeles, expecting to meet another potential manager, when he became acquainted with Steve Feder. Feder's only connection to boxing had been as a fan, though his father had briefly managed fighters years ago.They struck up a friendship and Feder eventually agreed to become Kayode's manager. Feder saw Kayode as a talent with frighteningly good power, but he was also very raw. Kayode only began to box when he was in his late teens in Nigeria, and only then because he kept getting mugged by gangs in a rough section of Lagos.
Feder believed Kayode had the talent to succeed at the highest level, but he also needed to be taught the game. And so he directed him to Roach, the four-time trainer of the year and perhaps today's leading trainer. "Lateef has been blessed with a natural gift of power," Roach said.
Kayode is well known to the frequenters of Roach's now-famous Wild Card Boxing Club on Vine Street in Hollywood. He's as diligent a worker as there is at the gym, which is saying something since one of the fighters who works there regularly is Roach's prized pupil, Manny Pacquiao.
Kayode promoter Gary Shaw, who is convinced that Roach will be able to lead Kayode to a championship, said that the two will get plenty of private time soon. That, Shaw added, will lead to a huge improvement in Kayode. Roach had been devoting most of his time to training Pacquiao and Amir Khan, the World Boxing Association super lightweight champion who will defend his title against Marcos Maidana on Dec. 11 in Las Vegas.
After the Khan-Maidana fight, Roach won't have to split his focus and will be able to direct all of his wisdom toward Kayode. "Manny is in the Philippines and Freddie will be done with Amir soon, and then you'll see a marked improvement in Lateef," Shaw said. "Lateef is still very raw and needs a lot of time refinement, which he'll get by working with Freddie."
Shaw compared Kayode's tools and raw power to one-time top heavyweight prospect Ike Ibeabuchi, who was perhaps the most gifted heavyweight in the world but couldn't stay out of trouble. Ibeabuchi is now serving a long sentence in a Nevada prison, his boxing career over. Ibeabuchi was 20-0 with 15 knockouts. Many considered him the fighter who would be able to knock off Lennox Lewis.
Shaw said that Kayode has the kind of raw power and athleticism that made Ibeabuchi so big in the 1990s. "Lateef's punching power is very much like Ike and is what I would call spectacular," Shaw said. "After he's with Freddie for a while, he's going to be scary good." And if that comes true, Feder will be rewarded for his faith in a guy who had almost run out of options. The two have forged a close bond and each says they're looking forward to making a run at the championship together.
It might have been crazy that day at Kennedy Airport to view Kayode as an undefeated world champion, but no more. Now, Kayode is an elite prospect who is good enough that he may be less than a year away from a title shot. "Lateef is an amazing guy, and to be able to share this journey with him is my pleasure," Feder said. "He's in love with boxing. He's in love with the gym. It's hard to find a guy who cares about what he does and about improving so much. It's his dream to win the title, and I'm just fortunate to be a small part of the process."

The company reported Monday it is aligning its staffing ramp-up to correspond with the startup of production.
"Our plans are unchanged, and we are moving forward with the development of our project in alignment with this timing," site communications manager Amanda Plecas said in a press release.
The positive statement from Wacker comes at a time when Hemlock Semiconductor Corp. is permanently laying off 300 employees at a similar plant in Clarksville. Hemlock cited a supply gut and trade conflicts with China for its action.
Plecas said Wacker's plans have not changed from its announcement in October 2012 that the local plant would begin production in 2015.
"We are not able to comment on the business plans of others," she said when asked if Hemlock's problems would affect Wacker's decision.
Five structures measuring more than 200 feet tall traveled to the site in 2012 along Interstate 75 and now tower above the landscape.
"This is a very visible stride in our progress: the first major milestone of 2013. We are excited to see this equipment now in its permanent place," said Dr. Martin Richtberg, vice president of engineering and head of the Wacker Polysilicon construction project.
"Last year we saw the final phase of concrete pouring, the arrival of large core equipment, the beginning of steel erection and the start of interior work," Richtberg said. "We are proud of these accomplishments, of our project; and we look forward to the work ahead of us this year."
Each structure plays a major role in Wacker's production of hyperpure polycrystalline silicon. The equipment was designed to perform specific types of distillation to produce a product more than 99.999999999 percent pure.
"It generates great pride to see these incredible structures upright, establishing now the real look of our Charleston plant currently under construction," Dr. Konrad Bachhuber, vice president and site manager for Wacker Polysilicon North America said.
Wacker announced in October 2012 it was delaying completion of its $1.8 billion plant by 18 months, to mid-2015.
Hemlock Semiconductor followed with its own announcement in early January that it would lay off 300 of 400 employees at its Clarksville polysilicon manufacturing plant and 100 more in Michigan. Hemlock had originally planned to start production of hyperpure polycrystalline silicon at its $1.2 billion facility later this year.
According to past news reports, Hemlock President Andrew Tometich said earlier this year its plant would be utilized, but added it's not known whether it will open for business at any time in 2013.

With the win, Valdosta State improved to 12-5 overall and 4-5 in GSC play. The Statesmen fell to 7-10 overall with a 3-6 mark in conference play.
The Statesmen shot 36.8 percent from the floor on 21-of-57 shooting. The Statesmen also committed 16 turnovers in the game. The Blazers shot just 32.8 percent in the game as they made only 20 of their 61 shots. However, VSU limited the Statesmen to 21-of-57 shooting, or 36.8 percent, and came up with 10 steals on 16 Delta State turnovers.
After Patrick Diop opened the scoring with a lay-up for Valdosta State, the Blazers made just one of their next 13 shots while falling behind 11-4 eight minutes into the game. The Delta State lead would grow as high as nine points over the ensuing three minutes of play before Valdosta State upped its defensive intensity to get back into the game.
The Statesmen missed their next seven shots while the Blazers closed to within 15-13 on a Josh Sparks lay-up with 5:01 to play in the first half. Terry Leake, Jr. responded with the only DSU basket of the final eight minutes of the half to put Delta State back in front by four.
Diop took over the remainder of the half as he scored the final 10 points of the frame for a 23-17 halftime Blazer lead.
Delta State scored the first four points of the second half to get within two points, but got no closer as Valdosta State responded with eight of the next 10 points. The Blazer lead grew to as much as 55-44 with 2:11 to play before the Statesmen began one final charge.
Cornell Knight led the DSU rally in the final two minutes as he scored seven of the game's next eight points to pull DSU within 55-52. After a David Murray free throw for the Blazers, Jack Madgen made two out of three free throws to close Delta State back to within two points, but Shaquille Harris connected on four straight charity shots for the Blazers to seal the victory.
Leake, Jr. led all scorers with 21 points with 16 rebounds, Madgen scored 14 points and Knight finished with 13.
Diop led Valdosta State with 20 points, Sparks and Harris added 11 points each while James Anacreon tallied nine points and 11 rebounds. The Blazers owned a 43-40 advantage in rebounding in the game and committed just 10 turnovers.
The Statesmen will be back in action at 4 p.m. Feb. 2 against Christian Brothers in Memphis.

With an expansive capital expenditure programme targeted at exploration and oil production, Pemex has had to make frequent visits to the debt capital markets while looking for novel ways to tap sources of funding that offer cost savings versus dollars.
It capped off the final months of 2011 with the region's first cross-border bond sale in more than a month, making an opportunistic retap of its 6.5% 2041 bonds that allowed it to raise $1.25 billion. The state-owned oil producer with the support of a $300 million reverse-inquiry priced at the tight end of the US Treasuries plus 320 basis points guidance, to yield 6.339%. BNP Paribas and Deutsche Bank managed the sale.
In April, Pemex became the first Latin American credit to issue a bond in Australian dollars, which had been discussed as a possible pool of liquidity by other borrowers in the region. The state oil company raised A$150 million ($156 million) priced at 99.715, with a 6.125% coupon, to yield 6.193%, or mid-swaps plus 195 basis points, the tight end of mid-swaps plus 195-200 basis points guidance, and was seen pricing at 25 basis points inside Pemex's dollar curve. HSBC managed the transaction.
The deal followed a 300 million Swiss franc ($326 million) transaction in March 2012 which priced at 100.823 with a 2.5% coupon to yield 2.371%. Credit Suisse managed the sale, its fifth ever in the currency and first in two years. Pemex has been one of the region's most active borrowers in currencies other than dollars, and 2013 should be no different.
"We would certainly look at the euro[-denominated] market as we do every year and we would look at some currencies in Latin America," says Mauricio Alazraki, Pemex's treasury director. "The swap to dollars makes it difficult to structure those trades, but Pemex could turn to South American currencies such as Peru or Colombia which might make sense in our funding program."
Pemex later returned to the dollar market during a positive market environment in June following the Greek elections. A $1.75 billion 32-year bond mimicked the Mexican sovereign in providing a long-dated security that can be retapped for two more years, getting a 5.50% coupon that was one of the lowest-ever for a LatAm corporate long bond. It priced at 99.552 to yield 5.53%, or US Treasuries plus 280 basis points, with investors coming in for $6 billion.
It later took advantage of market conditions to add $1 billion to the 2044 in October, to the tune of more than $3 billion in orders, as it brought the yield down to 4.824%. Barclays, JPMorgan and Santander managed the first sale, and Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs and HSBC the retap. An additional retap this year is possible, Alazraki says.
Taking pesos global
The Mexican sovereign has long appealed to bond investors for the ease with which they can access their local curve in addition to buying internationally registered bonds. It was only a matter of time until the country's top corporate joined the fray.
Following the Peruvian issuance of global depositary notes (GDNs) offering international buyers access to local currency bonds, Pemex became the region's first – as well as the world's first – corporate to use the structure. In December 2011, it sold 10 billion pesos ($734 million) in 10-year notes, doubling the intended size after receiving 13 billion pesos in orders.
In addition to matching its largest ever peso-denominated size to date, the 7.65% yield meant an Mbonos plus 135 basis point spread in line with its local curve.
It was Pemex's largest ever single tranche local deal and at the time the lowest-ever fixed rate pricing, according to Morgan Stanley, the structuring agent, and bookrunner along with HSBC and Santander.
Pemex launched the deal on a Wednesday afternoon in the US to incorporate international demand, before opening books in Mexico on Thursday to account for the local demand. At least 60% of participation came from foreign investors who generated about 5 billion pesos in demand for the 144a/RegS GDNs, with another 8 billion pesos coming from locals for the GDN's underlying certificados bursátiles.
Similar to an ADR for equities, a GDN is a negotiable international instrument issued through a depositary bank evidencing ownership of a local debt instrument, allowing international investors to participate in the local debt markets. It is settled through DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, eliminating the arbitrage problem of having two local curves.
The GDNs can be exchanged for the underlying securities at any time, and trade, settle, and pay in dollars linked to pesos. Alazraki says Pemex would like to tap the domestic market more frequently, likely with the GDNs. However, the titulos de crédito extranjeros securities inaugurated by América Móvil in November offer another way to place local debt with foreign buyers without the need for two separate securities.
"Titulos de crédito extranjeros is a great program and we have to see if that is a way to go or to work on our GDN format and provide it with more liquidity," says Alazraki. "There are similarities in terms of documentation. One of the advantages of the GDN is that it is easier to identify the amount to withhold. Obviously what América Móvil did was a great transaction."
Ex-Im first
Pemex has also turned to the US market for additional funding diversity, as well as rock-bottom costs. The $1.2 billion it issued under a program guaranteed by the US Export-Import Bank was the first time a LatAm issuer had issued such a bond for purposes outside of aviation funding.
The first transaction in June was increased to $400 million from an expected $250 million and oversubscribed more than two times, with asset managers and insurance companies leading the demand. The issuer got a 2.0% coupon and yield for the 2022. Its previous 10-year dollar bond had come at 4.98% in January.
The strong reception moved the state-owned oil company issue to again two days later, raising another $400 million. The second deal tightened the cost to 1.95%
In the first June deal, 45% of the investors were new to Ex-Im bonds, with the rest repeat accounts. The next series saw 77% overlap with accounts invested in the first series. Most of the demand came from asset managers, banks and insurance companies. Crédit Agricole, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan managed the two sales.
"Pemex was the first of its kind," says Jia Shan, vice president of EM DCM at Goldman Sachs. Shan says the series of deals saved Pemex money, versus taking out a direct loan from the Ex-Im Bank.
Pemex finished off the $1.2 billion program with another $400 million sale in July. The deal got a 1.70% coupon and counted on about 84% of the June buyers. Proceeds were earmarked for payments for US goods and services imports Pemex and its subsidiaries buy from US suppliers.
Pemex had raised $6.03 billion through December of last year. It capped off its borrowing by raising 25 billion pesos ($1.92 billion) in Mexico's domestic bond market, in a three-tranche offering that was the issuer's, and possibly the country's, largest-ever domestic sale.
A 11.5 billion peso 2017 floating-rate bond priced at TIIE plus 18 basis points and drew 1.5 times demand. A 10 billion peso reopening of the 7.65%-coupon 2021 fixed-rate bonds came at a 6.52% yield, and attracting 1.5 times demand. The retap doubles the outstanding size of the bonds sold in the GDN offering. The issuer elected not to offer the bonds to international buyers this time. Finally, it issued a 3.5 billion peso 2028 UDI-denominated tranche paid 3.02%. Banamex, BBVA Bancomer, HSBC and Santander managed.
Pemex has set a target of borrowing $9.8 billion for 2013, though that remained to be approved as of mid-December. If approved at this level, the state-owned oil company plans to borrow about $4 billion internationally, mainly through the US dollar market, though it will also watch euros, Swiss francs and other currencies for opportunistic taps. A retap of the 2044s and returns to GDNs or Ex-Im funding are likely. On the domestic side, between $2.5 billion and $3.5 billion-equivalent is likely. LF

Citizens gathered to await a decision on Mayor Jeffery Kilpatrick's controversial proposal to raise the salaries of city workers, including those on the board, by five percent.
According to Kilpatrick, the board voted 2-1 in opposition of the raise, but he said a different result might have occurred had all board members been present for the vote.
"I can't say I'm completely disappointed it was shot down because not all the board members were there," said Kilpatrick. "Maybe it will come back up again in the future, and we'll see if it's meant to be."
Vice Mayor Harvey Burchfield, also on the board, was strongly against raising salaries.
"I talked to the mayor and asked him how we could possibly give raises when our city is in debt," said Burchfield. "How could anyone do that?
"I stand on policy and what's right. If you don't balance the budget, the budget will balance you."
Burchfield said city workers should feel blessed to have a job with benefits considering current economic conditions.
Alderman John Smith also voted against the proposal.
"The bottom line is that we just don't have the money," said Smith. "The city has so many other bills to take care of."
Drew aldermen make $150 a month for their service, but Smith said it's about putting the city ahead of him.
"I've always thought people should serve on the board for nothing," said Smith. "It's a position of honor where you help the town.
"I've been in business a lot of years, and I think raises should be rewarded based on performance. Giving raises to everybody is just a 'lazy man' way of doing it."
Burchfield and Smith said they were relieved the proposal was unsuccessful so the city can focus on bigger issues.
"The mayor also discussed some money we'll be able to put toward street repairs, and we're looking forward to making progress in that area," said Smith.

Tinley Park's Parade of Lights set for Dec. 2
By Steve Metsch email@example.com November 14, 2012 3:56PM
Updated: December 19, 2012 11:52AM
Tinley Park's Parade of Lights is returning for a 15th year, but there's a slight change in this year's event.
The staging area on Dec. 2 will be at the Tinley Park South Condominiums, 17710 S. Oak Park Ave. Staging starts at 4 p.m. and the parade is at 5 p.m.
In past years, the staging area was two blocks farther south, at Central Middle School, 179th and Oak Park Avenue.
Vicki Sanchez, special events coordinator for the village, said the change was made with youngsters and seniors in mind.
"The parade committee felt that by shortening the route, it would be better for the senior citizens and children walking in the parade. It's always a pretty cold day," Sanchez said.
The parade will proceed north on Oak Park Avenue to the community parking lot near Subway, 17217 S. Oak Park Ave., Sanchez said.
As of Wednesday, 15 entries have signed up, she said. The entry fee is $25, but veterans groups, military groups, Scouts, schools and churches can march for free, Sanchez said.
As always, Christmas lights must be included on any float in the parade.
"The whole idea is have the parade lit up," she said Wednesday.
The parade itself led to some confusion Tuesday night when village board members met for committee meetings.
Several board members thought the parade had been canceled. Others were certain it would go on as planned.
The confusion arose because the village's website did not list the parade on its upcoming events, assistant village manager Mike Mertens said. The site was updated Wednesday morning to include the parade, he said.
For more information about the parade call (708) 444-5044.

I live in an apartment building, and I am trying to share the cost of internet with a neighbor just a few doors down. She recently got an Airport Extreme (b/g/n) router with the expectation that it would provide a bit more range than other models and allow me to connect my Macbook Pro (N enabled) in my apartment, but so far the results are not great. I live in an older stone building, but there aren't too many walls between my apartment and hers, and we are connected by a main corridor. At this point, I have experimented with switching the 2.4ghz channel as there are many other wireless networks in my building. However, that hasn't resolved the problem. Connectivity, signal, and link strength are all underwhelming, and frankly are inadequate for most of my needs. What's the best way to improve the range? Is there software that can help identify/quantify a better channel/signal strength? What are other alternatives? I know that it is possible to run ethernet through power lines, but since we don't share an apartment, just an apartment building, would that work? asked Jun 02 '11 at 05:08 oliver |
You can improve your Macbook's WiFi reception with BearExtender. You connect it t oyour USB port, it has an external antenna and it picks up WiFi signals much better than the MacBook's internal antenna. linkanswered Jun 04 '11 at 05:36 heka |
Try BearExtender. It has an external antenna and, I guess, a signal amplifier and you connect it to your USB port. Without it my MacBook finds some 5 WiFis in my proximity, and the BearExtender finds about 16. linkanswered Jun 04 '11 at 05:39 heka |
Get the router near an external window. linkanswered Jun 04 '11 at 16:01 Christopher |
Place the WiFi router higher up and in a more central location relative to where you'll be using your computers/smartphones. WiFi routers tend to have better coverage in the horizontal direction than in the vertical, so if you have one on one floor in a multi-storey building, coverage won't be as good on other floors. linkanswered Sep 18 '11 at 22:41 dorkypants |
You could buy an Apple Airport Express, which would plug into an outlet in your apartment where the WiFi signal is the strongest. If you configure it in "extend an existing wireless network" mode, it will act as a repeater and should give you a stronger signal in your apartment generally. As a side benefit, you can also plug speakers into the Express and then stream music from iTunes on your MBP. You can also attach a USB printer to the Express so you can print from anywhere in your apartment. linkanswered Sep 25 '11 at 07:30 Josh Simons |
Apple dramatically improved the performance of the Airport Extreme in June. See http://www.macrumors.com/2011/08/08/latest-airport-extremes-bring-improved-range-and-performance/ They are preparing to release an Airport Express update that has the same range-improvement enhancements. See http://www.macrumors.com/2011/09/13/apple-preparing-to-release-updated-airport-express-base-station/ Your first step is to verify that your neighbor's Extreme is one of the brand-new ones. If it isn't, I recommend finding someone who will give you a loaner or the newest Extreme. Substitute it for your neighbor's existing WiFi to see if that itself boosts the performance sufficiently. If the newest design doesn't help, the next step would be to do what @Josh recommends: get a second Airport to act as a logical relay to your neighbor's station. I believe you'd get a bit better boost with a second Airport Extreme, but I'm not basing that on any real experience. The newest (unreleased?) Airport Express may be good enough to boost the signal. Apple may be willing to give you a loaner for an overnight test if they put a hold on a credit card. That would be better than testing with new product and returning if it didn't work. linkanswered Oct 01 '11 at 15:49 floatingbones |

Injured guard Kirk Hinrich returns but Bulls still fall to Cavs 101-98
BY JOE COWLEY email@example.com February 26, 2013 9:32PM
Bulls center Joakim Noah is double teamed as he sky hooks a shot in the first quarter of the Chicago Bulls vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers NBA gameTuesday February 26, 2013 at the United Center. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: February 26, 2013 10:54PM
Ninety minutes before Tuesday night's 101-98 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Tom Thibodeau was asked if there would be any surprises coming with his starting lineup.
After all, it's been nine months since all-everything point guard Derrick Rose went down in a heap in the first-round playoff exit to Philadelphia, lost with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
"No,'' the Bulls coach quickly replied, as he was walking away from his pregame media session.
Not exactly an honest answer from the always tight-lipped Thibodeau, as there was one surprise. Just not the one that the city has been anticipating for months.
Kirk Hinrich and his injured right elbow were back in the starting lineup, after the veteran point guard had missed seven games with the elbow before the All-Star Break, came back for a game in New Orleans after the break, and was back on the shelf the last three games when the wound on the elbow re-opened and needed stitches again.
Hinrich played well in the loss, scoring 11 points and handing out 10 assists.
For now, that will have to do.
Bigger picture in the loss was the Bulls (32-25) are now 4-8 in February, and even the game-high 27 points from Carlos Boozer and Hinrich's return didn't slow down the water they seem to be taking on. It also ended an 11-game winning streak the Bulls had over Cleveland.
With the game against the Cavs, the first of three-consecutive home games for the Bulls this week, if there seemed to be an ideal time for Rose to return it was Tuesday night against a Cleveland team that was also without their best player in point guard Kyrie Irving [knee].
"Just daily improving, that's all,'' Thibodeau said, when asked about the latest update on Rose. "I just go day-by-day. I just want him to continue to improve, when he's ready, he's ready. His focus is on the rehab, our team is focused on their improvement and the opponent, and at some point hopefully he'll rejoin us.''
Although Nate Robinson was the latest Bulls player to show some excitement about what he's been seeing from Rose in practice.
"Every day,'' Robinson responded, when asked if he could see the improvement with Rose. "Every day he gets better and stronger, and hopefully he's on the path to come back whenever he's ready.''

Manila: Hublot opens its first Boutique in Philippines
Fermer Manila, Philippines - Hublot, the Swiss luxury watch brand that brings the "Art of Fusion" into
watchmaking, is proud to announce the opening of its first boutique in the Philippines.
The very first Hublot boutique in the Philippines (the 58th worldwide) is located in a spacious area
in the newly opened Bonifacio High Street Central, Manila. The boutique design concept creatively
reflects Hublot's DNA of luxury and innovative design, bringing to life its vision of fusion. The
unique materials and the fusion of materials which are the hallmark of Hublot watches played a
prominent role in the boutique's design. The polished stone floor, the furniture in wood and
aluminium, the fittings in glass and metal as well as the sophisticated details give this boutique a
resolutely contemporary look.
At the entrance, a wall of screens greets visitors with a projection of
events and the latest creations.
The boutique is operated in partnership with Lucerne Jewellers. Lucerne is the first and only
authorized retailer of Hublot in the Philippines starting from 2005. Hublot and Lucerne share the
same passions for excellence and innovation. To celebrate the opening of the first Hublot boutique
in the Philippines, and the 30th anniversary of Lucerne, Hublot unveils the magnificent Hublot King
Power Oceanographic 4000 Special Edition Lucerne 30th Anniversary watch.
For the Special Edition Lucerne 30th Anniversary model, the dial is specially customised as matte
blue. The '30' minute mark is in orange, bringing to mind the 30th anniversary.
The oversized
crown has a guard, engraved with 'DIVER 4000' in orange. The case is a fusion of both the
titanium and the carbon fibre, although it is 48mm diameter, the Oceanographic 4000 is still light
on the wrist. The outline of the Philippines, with Cebu and Manila is engraved on the micro-blasted
satin-finished titanium case back to highlight the locations of Lucerne shops. Engraved around the
country outline is '30th Anniversary 2012' and 'Lucerne Philippines.' The engraved number is also
at the outer rim of the case back. The Oceanographic 4000 Special Edition Lucerne 30th
Anniversary watch is limited in 28 pieces.

Ask Siena Tavern Owner Fabio Viviani how one of his mother's favorite recipes got its rather unique moniker, Pissed Off Eggs, and he'll tell you: "My grandma loved the dish but hated the heat, so my mom made it in one clay pot for everyone and tried to leave a corner without hot pepper for her. But when the sauce boiled the spice got everywhere, and Grandma got really pissed."
Mom Renza Talanti's Pissed Off Eggs is among the more than 150 recipes in his new cookbook – Fabio's Italian Kitchen (Hyperion, $24.99). You must pick up the book to see these creative recipes, but Chef Viviani was kind enough to share just one right here on TCW. Here's how to make Pissed Off Eggs…
- 2 cups Fabio's Tomato Sauce (see recipe on page 18 of the book)
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 4 fresh hot red chili peppers, thinly sliced
- 4 eggs
- ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- Olive oil and extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- 10–12 basil leaves
- Crusty bread, for serving
- Preheat the oven to broil.
- Put the tomato sauce, crushed garlic, and sliced peppers in an oven-safe pan.
- Crack the eggs into the pan and top with the red onion and garlic. Cover with the Parmesan cheese and drizzle with olive oil.
- Place the pan under the broiler for 5–10 min, or until the cheese is golden brown and the eggs are cooked.
- Remove the pan from the oven and use a spoon to push the basil leaves under the eggs, helping to separate the eggs from the pan. Drizzle again with extra-virgin olive oil.
- Serve with crusty bread.

The average gnome doesn't do much more than hang out in your garden, forage for edible fungus and stare vacantly at you whenever you approach them. Tomi's not like that though; he's an Olympic Gnome! Standing approximately 5" high and crafted from museum-grade resin, Tomi is a gnome who excels at a variety of Olympic sports, including — as he clearly demonstrates — boxing. He might have a pot belly and a bushy, white beard, but he's as hard working of an athlete as the most elite American Olympians! This sculpture is a one-of-a-kind collectible that shows your support for Team USA like no other.

They also later starred together in the film "Ali" in 2001 and established the Will and Jada Smith Family Foundation, which focuses on youth educational projects and family welfare for charitable organizations in Baltimore and Philadelphia.
Their two children are also in show business: Actor Jaden Christopher Syre ("The Pursuit of Happyness" and "The Karate Kid" remake), and actress/singer Willow Camille Reign ("Whip My Hair"). Smith also has a son from a previous marriage, Willard Christopher "Trey" Smith.
Will on Jada: "Families are like a business. The key is one person having a vision of what it needs to be and being able to pull everyone together. That's Jada for sure."
Jada on Will: "I will throw my career away before I let it break up our marriage. I made it clear to Will. I'd throw it away completely."
Who is our next couple? One word: Brangelina ...
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
Their characters tried to kill one another in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" in 2005 and somewhere in between, the actors fell for one another. Although Brad was still married to actress Jennifer Aniston at the time, both Pitt and Jolie have denied any romantic extramarital affairs.
But there's little doubt the roots of Brangelina go back to that movie set.
Together the happy yet tired couple have six children: Maddox Chivan, (adopted from Cambodia, shared with ex-husband Billy Bob Thorton); Zahara Marley, (adopted from Ethiopia); Shiloh Nouvel; Pax Thien, (adopted from Vietnam); and twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline.
Pitt and Jolie were finally married the summer of 2014 in a private ceremony.
Brad on Angelina: "She is the love of my life."
Last up, we find out what happens when Danny Zuko settles down ...
John Travolta and Kelly Preston
They found a strong attraction toward one another on the set of "The Experts" in 1989 but were in relationships at the time. Two years later, the two became experts on each other and tied the knot. Hey, who wouldn't fall for Danny Zuko?
The couple has three children: Benjamin Hunter Kaleo and Ella Bleu. Travolta and Preston also grieved when their son, Jett, died in 2009 due to a seizure at the age of 16.
Travolta has said "having kids gives a mandate to make your marriage work ... the kids are a big motivating factor."
