For 2nd time in 3 years, Fayette BoE will appoint new member
For the second time since the fall of 2011, the Fayette County Board of Education has a vacancy that it will fill by appointment.
A four-member board appointed current Post 5 member Leonard Presberg in November 2011 to fill the vacancy created by the death of Sam Tolbert. Democrat Presberg is seeking election this year to the redrawn District 5 post.
And now a four-member board will make another appointment this spring to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mary Kay Bacallao, who is running for the state school superintendent's post as a Republican. Bacallao defeated incumbent Democrat Terri Smith for the Post 2 seat in the November 2012 election.
For those in south Fayette County interested in serving on the school board, the time is now. The board on March 10 announced the process by which applicants for the Post 2 seat vacated by Bacallao can apply to fill the seat that will expire at the end of 2016.
The school board Monday night outlined the process by which residents in the Post 2 area can submit their qualifications for consideration.
Eligibility requirements are as follows:
· 21 years of age or older
· A citizen of Georgia
· A resident of Fayette County for at least 12 months and reside within the Post 2 district (see map on the school system's website, www.fcboe.org and click on "About Fayette Schools" and "About the District")
· Not a Fayette County School System employee or Georgia Department of Education employee
· Not the holder of another county office
· Not disqualified by the constitution or laws of the state from holding public office
Interested applicants must submit a written letter of interest and resume addressed to:
Fayette County Board of Education
c/o Board Chairman Marion Key
210 Stonewall Avenue, West
Fayetteville, GA 30214
Letters must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on Friday, April 11. Letters may be mailed or hand-delivered to the board of education office at the above address by the deadline noted.
All discussions and actions pertaining to filling the vacant seat must be conducted in public. Applicants will make a five-minute presentation about why they want to serve on the board at a called meeting on April 14 at 7 p.m. in the boardroom of the Fayette County Board of Education (210 Stonewall Avenue, West, Fayetteville). Board members will ask questions of the applicants following their presentations; applicants may also ask questions of the board.
The school board anticipates making an appointment to fill the Post 2 vacancy at its regular monthly business meeting scheduled on Monday, April 28.
The vacancy occurred per Article 2, Section 2, Paragraph 5 of the Ga. Constitution, "The office of any state, county or municipal elected official shall be declared vacant upon such elected official qualifying for another state, county or municipal elective office ... if the term of the office for which such official is qualifying for begins more than 30 days prior to the expiration of such official's present term of office."
Your chance
Appoint an African American
They had that opportunity before, alas, politics got in the way--Bonnie Willis who was (is) a black, conservative, successful business woman with kids in the school system. Not good enough for the former board who took the Democrat.
District voting is going to kill us all.
BOE needs a replacement for the Quixiotic little miss who is off to Atlanta to slay dragons. - and i wish her well
Those of us left back here in the suburban ghetto have to chose a replacement. Who better than Bonnie Willis? Voice of reason and a mother of kids in school. Understand Smola and Smith didn't want an intelligent and successful black woman, but those bimbos don't get to vote anymore - Thank God.
Appoint Bonnie Willis and let her serve the community. BTW, she live in a District? Which one?
You appoint the best candidate regardless of race, religion, sex, ect...
I was always told, when you hire someone, hire someone who is smarter than you.
After 35 years working in a fortune 500 corporation it was my experience that being smarter that the boss was a sure way not to get hired.
The trick is not to let the boss know that you're smarter.
About 20 of us in the middle management group were given "management aptitude" tests or something like that since it was blatantly illegal to force IQ tests on employees, but of course that's what they were. Not only was he dumb enough to take one himself, he was actually dumb - around 110, the second lowest score in the entire group. Additional proof he was dumb, he kept all this a secret for 3 or 4 years and continued to use the same management consultant that administered the tests and then fired her over a billing dispute. Those of us still there got 21 test scores anonymously in the mail about 2 weeks later. He didn't get a copy and I don't think he ever knew he was outed - never acted like he knew anyway.
And that was one of the most efficient organizations I ever worked in because the boss knew he was just an affable front man - perfect for press gatherings and cocktail parties, but not much else. He knew everyone was smarter and quite capable in their area of specialization and he didn't meddle or micromanage. I realize that this style of leadership that wouldn't pass muster in today's world, but it sure worked then. He eventually retired after bringing in an aggressive, hotshot outsider to run the company which went out of business about 3 years later.
I used to work in the electronics field. Best boss I ever had knew nothing about electronics. I asked him one day how he was so successful in a field he knew nothing about and he replied "I don't have to know electronics, I know people". He understood something that most don't. There is a difference between knowledge and intelligence. Knowledge is what we learn. Intelligence is the ability to use what we know. How many geniuses do you know that can't function in the real world? Or as my dear ole Dad used to say "You can educate a fool. But all you'll have is an educated fool."
The lesson I learned from my dopey boss was that he was not so dopey after all and I should do the same thing. When I started my own company I made a point of hiring smart people and let them run with their specialty. Made lots of money and so did they because I wasn't greedy and did not think I was more important than they were. Had many 20 year employees and only had 5 that resigned or retired and only 1 who needed to be fired (drugs). If you can believe this, the drug dude made about $30,000 in the 1980's and was actually living in a storage shed (Huie Bray's) because he spent his paycheck on drugs every other Friday. He had a hot plate in his storage shed and that caught fire and burnt him out one night. Misjudged that one.
You are correct - knowing people is the most important thing. Much more important than technical knowledge.
you two are referring to is Emotional intelligence or EI. There are several good books on this subject but the most well known is "Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ" by by Daniel Goleman. If you choose to read this book you will be finding yourself relating traits to people you know or have known, like your former bosses. A very interesting read.
One doesn't need to be an expert to be a good leader.
Just look at the BOE seat, we are having to fill by the board in lieu of voting. She had book knowledge to get a few degrees. But wasn't smart enough to get out of the rain and didn't do a thing in her year and a 1/4 she graced us before running off because she thinks she can make a difference in the state supt race.
The state supt race is FC's gain.

Public Information and Education
The Division of Public Information and Education is established within the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and is responsible for the administration of programs to increase the public's knowledge and understanding of inland fisheries and wildlife resources and the management of these resources, including the administration of education programs for hunter safety and for the safe operation of snowmobiles, watercraft and all-terrain vehicles. The division's responsibilities include public education, promotion of inland fisheries and wildlife resources and the dissemination of information.
The major function of the Public Information and Education Division is to create and maintain public understanding and support for Departmental objectives and programs.
The Division was created in 1952, as the Information and Education Division, under authorization granted by the 96th Legislature in 1951. It was reorganized into the Public Information Division, effective July 1980; it was again reorganized, as the Division of Public Information and Education under the Office of the Commissioner, effective April 24, 1984. Another reorganization effective July 1, 1993, established the Division of Public Information and Education as it's own unit.
In addition, the Gray Game Farm and Visitors Center now the Maine Wildlife Park was removed from the Division of Wildlife, Bureau of Resource Management, and placed within the Division of Public Information and Education.
The major programs of the Public Information and Education Division are:
- The Information Center, serving as the Augusta headquarters call center, provides a knowledgeable staff responding to telephone inquiries and directing calls to appropriate Department Divisions from 8-5, Monday through Friday. The Information Center also mails and distributes printed materials, develops and maintains the Department's web site.
- Media relations provides press releases about the Department and it's programs to newspapers, radio and television in both written and electronic formats. The photography and video production facility produces a variety of slides, prints and video documenting current Department projects and to supplement stories released to the media.
- Education efforts include the Maine Wildlife Park, which hosted over 100,000 visitors last year. A variety of wildlife and conservation school programs and tours are offered here, reaching well over 5,000 of Maine's school children annually. Teacher workshops are offered statewide using Project WILD, an award-winning national wildlife and conservation education program, to assist classroom teachers and other educators to become more informed about Maine wildlife and conservation.
- Anyone who received a mandatory license revocation after June 10, 1997 must successfully complete the 8-hour outdoor ethics course before the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife can reissue the revoked license. Completion of this course with a passing grade does not reduce the length of the license revocation. The course fee is $100.00 and must be paid in advance.
- The Division provides scholarships for the popular Maine Conservation School and the 'Becoming an Outdoors-Woman' workshops.
- Public relations and promotion included nine outdoor shows last year and a variety of advertising intended to promote outdoor recreation in the state, safety, and our landowner relations program. The Division also organizes the Maine Migratory Waterfowl Stamp Art Contest and many other events such as Fur Fin and Feather Day at the Legislature.
Public Information and Education also provides support to other divisions for video, photography, displays, presentations, and the design, development, and distribution of a great deal of printed material about the department and its programs.


text: @literally45-- Yes, you can do that. I have done it before. But just make sure to microwave the ingredients one by one. For example, microwave the butter first. Then, add the sugar and cream, microwave again. Last, add the chocolate and marshmallow creme and microwave again. Microwave for short periods of time and check on the ingredients frequently. Pour the fudge into a tray and cool as you would otherwise.

She starts this episode by giving us a little flash of her huge natural boobs. After that, Angelina Castro strips down to show us the goods. This Latina is built like a brick house. And best of all, she loves to fuck. I mean, she goes absolutely bonkers on cock. She even totally wears out male porn stars.

Classroom materials
This topic will be helped by photos or magazine pictures of school uniforms. Failing this you could draw your school uniform on the board (if you are good at drawing!). Describe the uniform worn in your school or schools in your area. Give students an idea of the cost. Remind them that you spend less on clothes for school if you wear the same uniform every day.
1. Brainstorm
Put the word uniform on the board. Brainstorm: Who wears a uniform ? Why ? Do schools in your host country wear uniforms ? Ask students to describe to their partner what they like wearing for school. Get some suggestions, review clothes vocabulary with uniforms and the students' clothes.
Check students know the vocabulary before doing this in pairs, followed by a quick class round up.
Task 1 Brainstorm
Look at the following list of fashionable items. Which things might not be suitable for wearing to school?
mini skirts | bikini tops | body piercing | tattoos |
jeans with holes | tight jeans | fur coats | cropped tops |
track suits | jazz pants | loose long hair (boys and girls) | hair gel or spray coloured hair |
jewellery | platform shoes or very high heels | designer trainers | make up |
- Can you think of the reasons why an item might not be suitable?
- Are any of these fashion items banned from your school?
2. Discuss
You can do this activity as a quick class discussion to lead into the reading.
Task 2 Discuss
- What are your school rules?
- Is there a dress code?
- Explain the rules:
- We are allowed to wear/expected to wear.
- We are not allowed to come to school in/wearing.
3. Read and find out
Make sure the students understand the questions. Give out the text and give them time to read it. Before checking through the answers with them let them compare their answers. This will give them a chance to do some peer correction.
Task 3 Read and find out
- Which speaker is proud of their school uniform?
- Which item of clothing causes the most problems?
- Are the rules stricter than in your school?
- Are the rules the same for boys and for girls?
School Uniform Report …Forced to wear a skirt….
4. Discuss
The students can work either in pairs or small groups to do this task. You could also do a pyramid discussion with this task, so that students start off in pairs to discuss, then join pairs into groups of four, then groups of four into groups of eight etc.
Task 4 Discuss
Here are some more opinions from British teenagers.
- Divide the opinions into For or Against.
- Tick the opinions you agree with and compare in pairs.
- Hold a class vote How many are in favour of uniforms? (For) and How many are not in favour of uniforms? (Against)
- Uniforms keep pupils tidy and smart.
- Uniforms are ugly and outmoded.
- Uniforms stop unfair comparisons between rich or poorer students.
- Uniforms make choosing your clothes in the morning easier.
- Uniforms are not democratic.
- Uniforms do not allow teenagers to express their individual personalities.
- Uniforms are good for discipline and give a serious tone to the school.
5. Discuss
You could either do this task as a whole class discussion or for extra speaking practice in pairs.
Task 5 Discuss
- Is there too much pressure to wear fashionable clothes in your school system?
- Do you plan what you are going to wear for school?
- Do pupils laugh if you dress differently?
- What would you say to them if it happened to you?
Some people say that teenage fashions are all the same and that teenagers wear a type of teenage uniform. Do you agree?
6. Role play
This is a fun roleplay activity. You can either get students to do it privately in pairs or you could help the pairs to prepare a script for them to do as a performance for the whole class.
Task 6 Role play
Student A is wearing something totally unsuitable for school. Try to justify your choice to the teacher. You must try to avoid being sent home to change. |
Student B: You are an angry teacher. Student A is wearing something totally unsuitable today. Ask him or her to go home and get changed. Explain your reasons. |
Internet links
Search the BBC news site.
The CBBC Newsround site has a lot of interesting articles on school uniform issues.

Three great exercises for 55+ women
May 2, 2012, 8:28 a.m.
With a little bit of exercise, older women don't have to look or feel older. Turn on your TV and you'll see Madonna and Jamie Lee Curtis still being represented as sex symbols. The consensus: 55 isn't what it used to be. Today, with proper health care and senior fitness, there's no reason you can't be as beautiful and fit at 55 as you were at 35.
Here are some of the best exercises for women who are 55+ and still want to feel beautiful, healthy, and sexy:
Elliptical Machines
A used elliptical machine is an inexpensive option and can provide you with a great way to work in daily exercise with ease. By working out in front of your TV on a low impact machine, an elliptical can work your muscles without hurting your knees. You don't even need to go outdoors for this one.
Yoga is a truly excellent foundation upon which to build a whole fitness routine. Yoga works the entire body in low-impact and no-impact stretching and exercise routines. A really great exercise for older adults, yoga keeps you flexible, strong, and capable. In fact, it's not uncommon for a senior who does yoga to be more physically capable than a 40 something who doesn't.
If you don't want to become a fitness nut and spend hours a day exercising, you can at least fit in a daily walk of 12 minutes or more. A good walk is low impact, it gets you outdoors for some sun and fresh air and it keeps you active, all of which can be difficult for retirees.
Before pursuing any high-stress, high-impact exercises like weight lifting, running, and sports, you should seriously consider talking to your physician. We can't possibly guess at your physical condition, but you and your doctor will know best what you should and shouldn't pursue in terms of exercise.

I investigated the effect of the density of louse eggs (Pedicinus obtusus andP. eurygaster) on grooming site preferences in Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata). Louse eggs were more often found on the outer side of the body (upper back, lower back, outer arms, and outer legs) than on the inner side of the body (chest, belly, inner arms, and inner legs). Japanese macaques were more likely to be groomed on the outer side than the inner side of the body by allogrooming and autogrooming. Such grooming site preferences correlated with the distribution of louse eggs but not with the areas of body parts. Thus, the ecology of lice might affect grooming behavior of Japanese macaques. Five hundred and fifty louse eggs were estimated to parasitize an adult female Japanese macaque. Considering the intrinsic rate of natural increase of lice, monkeys need to be groomed almost every day. This suggests that Japanese macaques need grooming partners and form social bonds with others for everyday grooming.

Cubans can now check in as guests at beach resorts, creating a boom for local tourism.
VARADERO, Cuba — This massive resort complex may be unfamiliar to most Americans, but to legions of European and Canadian vacationers, it is the Cuba of travel brochures: white sand beaches, turquoise waters and all-inclusive discount getaways. With more than 50 hotels and counting, it has grown into one of the largest tourism destinations in the Caribbean.
U.S. travel restrictions have kept Americans out of Varadero's resorts, and until last year, ordinary Cubans couldn't stay at them, either. While Cuban workers poured the drinks and fluffed the pillows, a so-called "tourism apartheid" system banned Cubans from checking in as guests. But after Raul Castro officially took over Cuba's presidency from his older brother last year, he put an end to the widely resented policy, and opened the communist island's resorts to any Cuban of means.
Given that the average wage on the island is less than $20 a month, the change was largely considered a symbolic one at the time. But this summer, something unusual has been happening up and down the beach at Varadero. The hotels are filling with cash-wielding locals.
Every morning in front of Havana's stately Capitolio, a caravan of air-conditioned tour buses arrives to pick up Cubans who have purchased discount package deals to Varadero's all-inclusive resorts. For less than $200 per person, they can get a week-long stay that includes transportation, lodging at a three or four-star resort, and a plastic wristband entitling them to as much food and alcohol as they can consume. In a country accustomed to rationing and other austerity measures, that's a ticket to fantasyland.
One employee of a state-run tourism company said his agency was sending 400 Cubans to Varadero each day, creating a surge in business during what is ordinarily the low season for international tourism. Many of Varadero's upper-end facilities are still full of foreigners, but the more affordable resorts have been jammed with Cubans all summer.
"I'm having a great time," said Erick Llanio, a Havana resident sitting poolside with his family at a resort called Cuatro Palmas. The all-you-can-eat buffets were especially novel to him.
"A lot of foreigners who come here may be used to it, but in my case, it's the first time," said Llanio. "So I see things and say 'What's that? What's this? This is tasty!' Foreigners say they don't like the food, but I'm like 'This is great!'"
The sudden arrival of so many Cubans can be a challenge for hotel managers, and there have been some accounts of pilfering from hotel rooms and decimated buffet tables. While foreign tourists tend to prefer reading and lounging quietly in the sun, Cuban beachgoers often like loud music — using their vacation time to party, not to relax.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
In the legal realm, the "lodestar method" refers to a method of computing attorney's fees whereby a trial court must multiply the number of hours reasonably spent by trial counsel by a reasonable hourly rate. This figure can then be adjusted upward or downward for certain factors known as multipliers, such as contingency and the quality of the work performed, to arrive at a final fee. Under the lodestar method, the most heavily weighted multipliers are the time and labor required.[1]

- Pathfinders Project is expanding its mission to include research for the Humanist Service Corps, which will become a program of Foundation Beyond Belief.
- Pathfinders Project is accepting applications until February 1, 2013. All who are interested in travel, service, cooperation between worldviews, and helping launch the Humanist Service Corps are encouraged to apply.
In my last post, almost exactly six months ago, I announced two main goals for Pathfinders Project through the end of 2012: (1) building a connected, engaged audience via Facebook, Twitter, and WordPress, and (2) fundraising in the form of small donations in support of our monthly Walks for Water and larger sponsorships from national and international humanist and service organizations. Additionally, I said the Pathfinders would provide updates on our individual blogs and on Facebook at least monthly, and on Twitter at least weekly.
Frankly, we progressed poorly toward these goals – not because we were idle, but because the four other original Pathfinders decided to postpone their travel for financial, professional, and other personal reasons. This change required that I put a hold on Pathfinders Project fundraising and social networking, but it also provided me the opportunity to explore an idea that had only been a dream back in June – using Pathfinders Project as a research trip for a permanent Humanist Service Corps.
After several months of productive talks with leaders in the movement, I am excited to announce that the Humanist Service Corps is going to become a program of Foundation Beyond Belief, a non-profit organization created to focus, encourage, and demonstrate the generosity and compassion of secular humanists. Pathfinders Project will serve as the first step toward this program – it will provide an opportunity to begin building structures in service locations and developing relationships with partner organizations in those countries while at the same time evaluating the strength and growth potential of those structures and relationships.
Although its mission has expanded, Pathfinders Project's basic function remains unchanged; that is, it will be a yearlong international service trip with clean water, education, sustainability, and advocacy projects in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Through these projects, the Pathfinders will still address specific regional needs and engage in dialogue across religious, cultural, and ethnic boundaries, but they will also use rating scales to evaluate and compare countries and partner organizations being considered for the launch of the Humanist Service Corps.
Anyone interested in travel, service, Humanist leadership, and Humanist community-building should consider applying to be a Pathfinder. Applications accepted until February 1, 2013.
For more information and to access the application, visit pathfindersproject.com.

Finding the minimum information for probate records
Probate records are records disposing of a deceased individual's property and may include an individual's last will and testament if one was made. To find the addresses and phone numbers of living relatives in probate records, you must at least know the individual's full name at time of death, the approximate date of death, and the county or town in which the individual lived at the time of death. If you do not have the minimum information to locate a probate record, you can either: Get help finding some of the minimum information by selecting one of the following items, click the Back button on your browser to return to the list of other places where you can find the addresses and phone numbers of living relatives, or read the paragraphs below for a few additional tips. Finding probate records Probate record indexes and abstracts have been created in many counties. These indexes can provide you with the information you need to access the record, even if you don't have the minimum information required to find the original records. Check with libraries and genealogy societies in the area -- they may know if any indexes exist for the records that you need. Finding phone numbers and addresses of living relatives Ensure that you have asked all of your immediate relatives, such as parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles if they know the addresses and phone numbers of living relatives -- perhaps they have an old telephone book, address book, or Christmas card list tucked away somewhere. They may also know of neighbors or friends who might have the information you are looking for. If you have living relatives who, unbeknownst to you, are doing genealogy research and have submitted files to the Family History Library of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, you can get their names through the Ancestral File on the FamilySearch computer. All you need to do is look up your common ancestors in the Ancestral File. Return to the Main Menu of the Genealogy "How-To" Guide |

The Road to Myanmar
Thailand's largest oil and gas firm, PTT Pcl, which has significant representation in MSCI Thailand Investable Market Index Fund (AMEX:$THD) is moving into Myanmar's oil retailing by partnering with a local firm as the country opened its doors to foreign investment following the cessation of US trade sanctions after 60 years. Presently, PTT is involved in upstream oil operations in Myanmar. According to reports, the company will now operate under its subsidiary PTT Oil Myanmar which will operate in oil retail, wholesale, storage and transport.
Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, used to be one of the richest countries of the world until 1962 when it closed its doors to foreigners after the beginning of socialist rule under the military. Presently, the country's per capita GDP (PPP) is just ~$1300, which makes it the second-poorest country in Asia, even though it is located at the intersection of regional economic powerhouses of China, India and Thailand.
China is the biggest investor in Myanmar with $14.14 billion in investments through August of this year, more than one-third of the total foreign investment in the country. Nearly 63% of it went into the country's power sector. In the recent China-ASEAN expo held in the last week of September, Myanmar was invited as "the country of honor" and Myanmar responded by sending its Premier, President and other top officials to the meeting.
Interestingly, the response from Chinese businesses to Myanmar's liberalization policies has been lukewarm at best. Although government officials from both sides have signed several documents and MoUs, the details have not disclosed. Last year, Myanmar surprised China by halting construction of a Chinese SOE backed $3.6 billion hydropower dam in Myitsone after the project received criticism from local communities and opposition parties. According to China Daily, the biggest Chinese concern is the rising competition in Myanmar's market, specifically by western companies, who come as a direct threat to the Chinese businesses already operating. Myanmar is trying its best to allay Chinese concerns which is evident in the frequent meetings between the officials of the two countries.
Western companies such as General Electric (NYSE:$GE), Exxon-Mobil (NYSE:$XOM) and Coca-Cola (NYSE:$KO) have already started establishing operations in the country following the meeting of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with Myanmar's President Thein Sein. GE is currently looking to invest in the health care sector providing medical equipment to the country's hospitals, although its driving force in ASEAN has been the energy sector. In July this year, GE signed $2 million worth of deals with two private hospitals.
However, investors are generally cautious as Myanmar's fiscal and monetary policies remain unclear. To tackle this issue, Myanmar's central bank has been tasked with devising an independent monetary policy by the first half of 2013 while the country's parliament is expected to pass a bill next month that will guarantee the central bank's authority and independence. Meanwhile the IMF and the Bank of Thailand are working on providing training to the country's officials to carry out economic tasks.
Though it began earlier in the year, de-dollarizing Myanmar's economy is going to take a long time. The Kyat only began officially floating versus other currencies on July 24nd of this year. Since it began the Kyat has appreciated 2.23% versus the US Dollar. But that said more than 90% of all commerce done in Myanmar is done in U.S. Dollars. The process of the central bank gaining control over the situation will be a long one. Vietnam is still struggling with de-dollarizing as is Cambodia.
According to Asian Development Bank, Myanmar's economy may grow by as much as 8%, if it delivers on its promises. There are immense opportunities in the country but it lacks basic infrastructure, including skilled labour. Just over a quarter of the country's total population has access to electricity while its internet and mobile phone penetration is one of the lowest in Asia. This is a hurdle towards achieving short term gains for foreign investors.
At this point the biggest hurdle may simply be being able to find a hotel room. The capitol, Yangon, has been short of hotel space for the past two years ever since the ice began to thaw and the most adventurist of venture capitalists were getting the lay of the landscape.
Earlier this year, the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh visited his neighbor Myanmar, thefirst visit by the highest ranking Indian official in 25 years as India is helping Myanmar to develop a port in Sittwe, Rakhine State and a $214 million transportation network. The new network is going to become a primary trade route for India's landlocked northeastern states. India's bilateral trade with Myanmar has increased by 30% y/y to $1.4 billion while the two countries are aiming to push this figure to $2 billion by 2013. Currently, India is one of Myanmar's leading export markets after China and Thailand. Unlike China, India and Myanmar have s shared culture going back thousands of years to the Buddhist leader Ashoka.
Japan, on the other hand, is also looking for investment opportunities in the country as the Japanese Members of Commerce and Industry have recently held meetings with Myanmar's Investment Commission in late September. The country has invested just $211 million in Myanmar but the Japanese believe that as soon as Myanmar overcomes the problems of uncertain policies and provide soft infrastructure then the Japanese investments would flow into the country. Presently, it is aiming to invest in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
This week, Myanmar's president held a meeting at his residence with the powerful pro-Myanmar Japanese politician, Hideo Watanabe and offered him an attractive investment opportunity. Japan has been offered to construct an economic zone in Thilawa, near the country's major city and the Indian Ocean port, if it agrees to finance the project.
And it is Japan that recently stepped into the mix to invest in the major $50 billion deep sea port project at Dawei, directly west of Bangkok that has seen a number of setbacks. The project, if it can finally get started would literally change everything about how goods are distributed around the Indochina peninsula.
For investors looking to invest in Myanmar, the country is not represented in any ETF but its leading trade partner, Thailand through its ETF or companies such as PTT Energy (SET:PTTEP). PetroChina is in charge of building the oil and gas pipeline from Kyaukpyu to Kunming. Indirectly investing in ASEAN itself through the Global X FTSE ASEAN 40 ETF (AMEX:$ASEA) is a possibility as well. It focuses on Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Malaysia.

German tuners GeigerCars has made a reputation building some outrageous special editions from American cars, including Corvettes, Camaros and Chargers. But quality work doesn't come with a cheap price tag. This special Corvette ZR1 pumps out 730-hp, but GeigerCars says it is completely streetworthy. They upped the horsepower by nearly 100 over the standard 638-hp
Really high performance sports cars like the Corvette ZR1 and Z06 always seem to come only with six-speed transmissions. But not anymore. On a forum post on Camaro5.com earlier this week, Howard Tanner, owner of Redline Motorsports, which bills itself as South Florida's premier EFI performance shop, announced that his crew has been working hard
It's a tribute to the engineers at Chevrolet that the Corvette ZR1 is even considered a peer with the much, much more expensive Ferrari 458 Italia and the McLaren MP4-12C. Road & Track recently decided to pit three of the best that the United States, Italy, and Britain have to offer at Spring Mountain's Radical
We've closed the hood on yet another Corvettes at Carlisle show weekend. The 31st annual event was held last weekend at the Carlisle Fairgrounds in Carlisle, PA. After a shortened event last year due to Hurricane Irene, we were glad to see this show back firing on all cylinders. Great weather nearly all weekend provided
We're not sure what to make of these three races on Dragtimes featuring a Corvette ZR1, a couple of Mercedes, a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, and a Porsche 911 TurboS. In the first race, the two Mercedes square off with the expected results, the E63 AMG tuned by Evotech with 730-hp leaving the stock S65

The Palace of Auburn Hills, Detroit, MI
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- LeBron James grimaced, limped up to the podium and plopped into a chair behind a microphone.
It was the only time he looked human all night.
James had already used every ounce of energy to put together one of the most spectacular performances in playoff history, lifting the Cleveland Cavaliers to the verge of their greatest season.
James' career playoff-high 48 points -- including his team's final 25 and 29 of its final 30 -- carried Cleveland within a win of the NBA finals for the first time in franchise history with a 109-107 double-overtime victory over the Detroit Pistons on Thursday night.
After the breathtaking display of talent and will gave the Cavs a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference finals, the 22-year-old star said he felt terrible.
"I'm banged up. I'm winded. I'm fatigued," he said. "I've got all day tomorrow. It's going to be tough to get some rest when you got a crazy, 2-year-old running around the house. So hopefully, I can take him to one of his grandma's house."
James has the playoff-tested Pistons on the brink of going home.
Game 6 is Saturday night in Cleveland and if necessary, Game 7 will be Monday night back at The Palace of Auburn Hills.
If James can come remotely close to what he did Thursday night, the series might not return to Michigan.
The San Antonio Spurs, who eliminated Utah on Wednesday, have a week off before hosting Game 1 of the NBA finals.
James made a go-ahead layup with 2.2 seconds left and Detroit's Chauncey Billups missed a shot in the lane on the ensuing possession.
It was one of the many driving shots that James made look easy.
"Why should I be surprised? I was making a lot of great moves," James said. "They are definitely a great defensive team, but I was determined to attack."
The Pistons blew a seven-point lead with 3:15 left in regulation and lost the third straight game in the series after winning the first two at home.
Detroit can only hope the series ends like its last postseason matchup with the Cavs.
The Pistons won the first two games of the conference semifinals last year, then lost three straight and needed to win on the road and then at home in Game 7.
Detroit, with four of the same starters, also advanced in the 2004 and 2005 playoffs after trailing 3-2.
"We've been here before a lot of times," Billups said. "We've got to lock in and win one game."
James was 18-of-33 from the field, making two 3-pointers, and 10-of-14 from the free throw line. He also had nine rebounds, seven assists and two steals in a performance that might end up be a defining game of his career.
He was the only Cavs player to make a field goal in the last 17:48 and the only one to score in the final 12:49.
"We tried to trap him and get it out of his hands, but he attacked," Pistons coach Flip Saunders said. "We'll definitely have to do something different next time."
James shot an airball just before the shot clock expired with 6.6 seconds left in the first overtime that gave Detroit a chance to force another period.
James put Billups on the line with 3.1 seconds left and he made two free throws to make it 100-all.
The Cavs have prided themselves on not being a one-man show, but James just about did it alone against a team in the conference finals for the fifth straight year.
"We threw everything we had at him," Billups said. "We just couldn't stop him."
James simply took over late in regulation and in both overtimes, choosing to attack the basket with driving layups and dunks instead of deferring to teammates.
"I was able to will my team to victory," James said. "This is definitely a big win, one of the biggest wins in Cavaliers' franchise history. For me and my teammates, it's definitely the biggest win.
"But we have a goal, we can't dwell on this when we have another game on Saturday. We have got to do our best to try to win that ballgame and get where we wanted to be all year."
James scored 32 more points than Cleveland's second-leading scorer, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who fouled out with 16 points. Rookie Daniel Gibson, who also fouled out, was the only other double-digit scorer, with 11.
"Somebody told me in the locker room that he scored 29 of our last 30 points and I could not believe it," Cavs coach Mike Brown said. "Everybody keeps asking for more, and he keeps giving more.
"I feel bad that my words don't do justice for what he did."
James' previous playoff high, in just two postseasons, was a 45-point performance against Washington in the first round last year that set a franchise record.
The Pistons, meanwhile, seemed to finally put a complete game together and each of their starters scored at least 10.
Richard Hamilton scored 26, Chauncey Billups had 21 and Chris Webber scored 20. Rasheed Wallace had 17 points and Tayshaun Prince added 10.
It wasn't enough to deny James.
"It's frustrating," Billups said. "He put on an unbelievable display out there. It's probably the best I have seen against us ever in the playoffs."
Game notes
Both teams were slowed by foul trouble and Detroit had to play the final three quarters without its top reserve, forward Antonio McDyess, because his right arm appeared to hit Anderson Varejao's neck as he went in for a layup and he was automatically ejected with a flagrant-two foul. ... James averaged 28 1/2 points in two games at home after scoring 29 total in the first two games, including a playoff-low 10 points in the series opener. ... The Cavs won two games in their previous conference finals appearances, in 1976 and 1992. ... Cleveland PG Larry Hughes started for the second straight game, despite a foot injury, and provided a lift in the first quarter with eight points. ... Faces in the crowd included Anita Baker, New Orleans point guard Chris Paul and Red Wings goaltender Dominik Hasek, who said he still doesn't know if he will retire or return to Detroit.

How in the hell you can justify, much less compare what happened in Alabama to what is currently going on in Iran is completely and totally beyond ANY normal reason.

Bond bubble?No problemif you stickwith a plan
Sunday, July 7, 2013
It's not easy knowing what to do with investments these days, even when you're in the information business.
Then gradually you shift this emphasis toward more bonds as you get closer to retirement.
Every month it pays you dividends, which you turn around and buy more shares with on top of the shares you are buying with your regular paycheck retirement withdrawals. More shares paying you more, buying more shares that pay you even more, and on and on until one day you will be a multi-millionaire and able to live off your dividends like Mitt Romney.
Yes, it's tough to know what to do. As always it's good to turn to advice from people who know a lot about such things.
She reminded us that even if you stop working at 65 you likely are looking at 20 to 25 more years of living off your investments. There are all sorts of places to park those funds, but mixing it up is key to avoiding scary declines. Diversifying and sticking with your plan means you can sleep at night. |

So you had to wake up on MLK day too huh? Well at least we get to watch Nick Saban do the electric slide together. No wonder he snags so many blue chip recruits. With parties like this who wouldn't want to sign up. Winning championships and Electric Sliding like a motherfucker, that's what Saban does.
PS – RIP the kid who Vined this. First thing I did when I saw it was rip it to save for Youtube because I knew it would be scrubbed from the internet by Saban and his henchmen within the hour. You don't embarrass Saban and live. You just don't.
