PoliticsChina reports rebound in economic growth A boost in government spending to reverse a downturn has rebounded the economy to 7.8 percent in the latest quarter. 18 Oct 2013 10:32 GMT | Politics, Business & Economy, Asia Pacific, US & Canada, China China's economic growth has rebounded to 7.8 percent in the latest quarter after a boost in government spending to reverse a sharp downturn. The data reported on Friday should ease pressure on communist leaders for new stimulus measures to prevent politically dangerous job losses. That would allow them to focus on what they say is their priority of longer-term reforms aimed at making China's economy more efficient and productive. Growth of the world's second-largest economy accelerated from the previous quarter's two-decade low of 7.5 percent, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. "This growth has been stimulated by government investment into the economy and there is concern among some over the sustainability of this growth," Al Jazeera's Marga Ortigas, reporting from Guangzhou, said on Friday. Communist leaders want to steer China's economy to a slower, more sustainable level based on domestic consumption instead of exports and investment. The unexpectedly abrupt decline in global demand for Chinese goods prompted Beijing to reverse course temporarily and take targeted steps to prop up growth and avoid job losses. Weak global demand Communist leaders are due to meet in November to craft an economic development blueprint that reform advocates hope will include market-opening and more financial support to private entrepreneurs. The country's top economic official, Premier Li Keqiang, said earlier Beijing would try to keep growth from falling below 7.5 percent. That is far above levels forecast for the US, Europe and Japan but barely half of 2009's 14.2 percent growth. China's economy rebounded in the third quarter because of the government's stimulus measures Alaistair Chan Analysts have warned the rebound might not last because growth depends on government spending. Global demand is weak and Chinese consumer spending is growing more slowly than Beijing wants. "China's economy rebounded in the third quarter because of the government's stimulus measures," said Moody's Analytics economic Alaistair Chan in a report. Friday's data highlighted the economy's heavy reliance on government-led investment and the weakness of trade. Trade was so weak that its contribution to overall growth was negative, according to Sheng, and detracted 0.1 percentage point from the quarter's growth rate. September exports suffered a rare and unexpectedly sharp decline of 0.3 percent, falling short of forecasts. The International Monetary Fund is forecasting Chinese growth this year of 7.6 percent, which would be the weakest performance since the early 1990s, and some private sector analysts have cut their growth forecasts for next year to below 7 percent. In a positive sign for the ruling party, Sheng said the economy created 10 million jobs in the first three quarters of the year.Source: Al Jazeera and agencies

Maid to order
Food is secondary to spectacular service at Maidreamin
- Published: 16 Aug 2013 at 00.00 | Viewed: 3,051 | Comments: 0
- Newspaper section: Life
- Writer: Parisa Pichitmarn
Walk down the district of Akihabara in Tokyo and one sight you won't fail to see is frilly and kawaii/cutesy-looking girls dressed up in French maid costumes _ revealing factor optional _ trying to usher customers into maid cafes scattered all around the area. In these establishments, waitresses dressed up as maids will cater to all your requests (not the primal ones, ahem) and pamper you while you enjoy your meal. If you want to "transport" to a dreamland, where you can escape the bleak and grey realities of life by the hour, Maidreamin has just recently opened at Gateway Ekamai. It's the first branch to be open outside Japan and comes complete with pink and white sofas and merry maids to keep you in high spirits.
A maid will pamper you since your first step into Maidreamin.
From the ceremonious moment your maid lights up the Dream Candle, you will no longer be in the "real world". You will have travelled through portals and transformed into a master (Nai Thun or Khun Noo in Thai) which the maids eagerly await to welcome. Manufactured to be polite, buoyant and entertaining while being endearing all at the same time, the maids kneel down to take your orders and also wave enchantments at your food to make it taste better before serving it to you. Pay an extra fee and they'll sing and dance for you and you can shimmy to girly J-Pop music along with them. For those who have no idea what you're in for, visits to these types of cafes are not exactly cheap and you have to pay for everything from entrance fees by the hour to photo ops with the maids, as photography within the cafe is not allowed.

Case | HBS Case Collection | January 2013 (Revised December 2014) Pittsburgh Eric Werker, Meg Rithmire, Benjamin Kennedy and Andrew Knauer The case narrates the development of Pittsburgh from the 1940s to 2012. It analyzes the collapse of the steel industry in the early 1980s, the city's subsequent decline, and the city's later re-emergence as a hub for higher education, the tech sector, and the healthcare industry. Attention is given to the public-private partnerships that emerged in Pittsburgh, as well as the economic development and taxation initiatives pursued by different mayors.

Case | HBS Case Collection | November 2013 (Revised September 2014) Rio Tinto and Mining in Mongolia: The Oyu Tolgoi Deposit Eric Werker, Battushig Batbold, Kelsey Kennedy, Zanna McComish, Shaloo Savla and Nicole Shomair In 2013, Rio Tinto was expected to begin commercial shipments from Oyu Tolgoi, a copper and gold mine in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. Oyu Tolgoi was one of the last great unmined deposits in the world, and, once operations were in full swing, was expected to constitute around a tenth of Rio Tinto's profits and over a quarter of Mongolia's GDP. But the terms of the deal were being threatened by elections in Mongolia and a change in voter sentiment towards the project. With around $6 billion invested, Rio Tinto had to figure out how to make its investment work out. Meanwhile the Mongolian government, facing scorching economic growth rates, had to lead the country through its most significant transformation since the time of Ghengis Khan nine centuries earlier.

GamesBeat Summit is invite-only -- apply here. Ticket prices increase on March 6 Pacific! If Sony's latest device is any indication, gigantic smartphones are here to stay. The phone — which Sony announced along with a variety of other, more conservative devices — features a comically large 6.4-inch, 1080p display. It's Sony's answer to devices like the Samsung Galaxy Mega, ZTE Grand Memo, and Huawei's Ascend Mate. And it looks just as silly as the rest of them. The problem, as the image above so clearly shows, is that the Xperia Z Ultra is so big that it will be nigh impossible for most people to reach the device's entire screen while they're holding it with one hand. So while it's easy to mock these so-called "phablets" for erring too far on the side of screen size ambition, their greater sin is that their size makes them unwieldy for the average person. And that's a bad user experience (and something that VentureBeat will discuss at length during its MobileBeat conference July 9-10.) On the specifications side, the Xperia Z Ultra comes with a 2.2 GHz Snapdragon processor, 16GB of onboard storage, and a 4G LTE radio. The device is also waterproof, according to Sony — though I'm sure most owners are going to end up just taking the company's word on that one. The Xperia Z will go on sale in Asia next month and in Europe in September. There's no word on whether Sony plans to sell it in the U.S. VentureBeat is studying social media marketing tools. Chime in, and we'll share the data with you.

High Mountain Park Preserve
High Mountain Park Preserve is a protected area of the Preakness Range of the Watchung Mountains in Wayne, New Jersey, United States. Established in 1993, it comprises 1,153 acres (5 km2) of woodlands and wetlands owned and managed by The Nature Conservancy.
It is one of the largest tracts of conserved land in northern New Jersey. It serves to protect nine ecological communities harboring 380 plant species, 18 of which are rare. Some of the globally imperiled plants found in the area include Torrey's mountain mint (Pycnanthemum torrei) and basil-leaved mountain mint (Pycnanthemum clinopodioides), which, along with narrow-leaved vervain (Verbena simplex), are also classified as endangered by the state. Hazel dodder (Cuscuta coryli), declared imperiled by the state, has been recorded as well.
The preserve contains geological points of interest, including a rare traprock basalt glade and rock shelters which have been determined to be sites of prehistoric human habitation. During the American Revolution, high points along the ridge were used as signaling posts. Hiking trails are maintained by the New York - New Jersey Trail Conference. The summit of High Mountain provides a spectacular view of New York City.
High Mountain Park Preserve welcomes visitors but prohibits fishing, hunting, trapping, collecting, motor vehicles, aircraft, horses and unleashed pets, camping, fires, firearms, rock climbing, spelunking, and feeding of wild animals.
In the summer of 2013, a northern extension of the Red Trail was blazed along the sidewalk of Reservoir Drive to provide access to the Franklin Lakes Nature Preserve. The new northern terminus of the Red Trail is a junction with the Preserve Shoreline Loop (White Trail) just inside the nature preserve.

The French Pavilion at the Biennial of Contemporary Art in Venice presents original works in which the video, sound and lighting are essential elements. The French Pavilion received the special prize of the Jury for the 2001 Biennial. The Pavilion is divided into three sections:
A high-definition theater in which the film " Buildings " is presented continuously. Two different recordings are available for this film. A tape is selected by chance by the show-controller (a Alcorn McBride V16+, which controls the entire Pavilion) before the beginning of each presentation. During the projection, part of the right wall of the room becomes transparent, thus revealing the central part of the exhibit. The high definition video in this room is sourced from an Alcorn McBride DVM/HD.
A central room in which the artist Pierre Huygue installed his " Pong ", a giant video game using 144 luminous cubes controlled by DMX. The normally opaque wall at the bottom of the room becomes transparent periodically, to reveal mysterious cubes. Visitors can play this giant "Pong" game.
The third space is filled with luminous waves. At certain times, the light softens and an animated film is preented. Here also, one of the walls becomes transparent at certain times, letting visitors see the central part of the Pavilion.
The visitors need patience in order to be able to enter the Pavilion. There is often a line.
Only one bay is enough for all the video sources (DVM/HD, DVM2s) and the Show Control (V16+ and DMX Machine). The installation was performed by Cineparts. Eric Albert, in charge of the technical department: "We are delighted by the quality of the high definition image. To use this kind of technology in Europe was still unusual, but thanks to the support of Alcorn McBride we had access to all the information necessary to make a success of our encoding HD on our first attempt. The programming of the show control system did not pose any problem -- we could use our spare time to enjoy Venice!"

No teeth? Just sprout some
May 4, 2004
LONDON: Fake teeth, denture glue and sucking on bald gums may soon become a thing of the past, say a group of British scientists working on a procedure that makes teeth grow from stem cells implanted in the gum. The scientists at King's College, London announced they had made a breakthrough in mice, coaxing stem cells to grow into teeth within only a few weeks. The procedure entails taking stem cells from a living being, nurturing them in a laboratory until they form a ball of new cells and inserting the...
Securitisation bill lacks teeth: AIBEA
November 25, 2002
The All India Bank Employees' Association has said that the securitisation bill, passed by the Lok Sabha lacked teeth and would be of little help in taking stringent measures against wilful defaulters of bank loans. "The bill lacks teeth. It is not understood why wilful default of bank loans has not been made a criminal offence," AIBEA general secretary Tarakeswar Chakr-aborti said in a statement. Welcoming provisions enabling the banks to take over mortg-aged properties or...

Teething troubles for Andhra, Telangana
July 9, 2014
HYDERABAD: Call it birth pangs or teething troubles, everything still remains unsettled over a month after Andhra Pradesh and Telangana came apart as two states. Two new governments are in place but yet there is no tangible sign of governance, more so in Andhra Pradesh, say political observers. The "order to serve" (in the two states) issued for bureaucrats and other government officers and staff actually seems to be not serving any purpose in the absence of clear allotment orders.

The AK-47 and AK-74 are both Russian-made assault rifles designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov. The AK in the name refers to Kalashnikov (K) automatic (A) rifles and the numbers refer to the year in which they were designed (1947 and 1974). In 1978, the Soviet Union began replacing their AK-47 and AKM rifles with a newer design, the AK-74.
Comparison chart
Contents: AK-47 vs AK-74
edit Design comparison
The AK-74 featured a new stock, handguard and gas cylinder. The stock has a different, rubber shoulder pad that is serrated for increased traction. There are weight-reducing lightening cuts on each side of the buttstock.
The AK-74 gas tube has a spring washer attached to its rear end designed to retain the gas tube more securely. The lower handguard is fitted with a leaf spring that reduces play in the rifle's lateral axis by keeping the wood tensioned between the receiver and the handguard retainer. All external metal surfaces are coated with a glossy black enamel.
edit Cartridge
The 5.45x39mm cartridge of the AK-74 makes it a more accurate and reliable rifle compared to the AK-47, which uses a 7.62x39mm cartridge.
edit Barrel
The barrel length of the AK-47 is 415 mm (16.3 inches) and is similar for the AK-74 except for the AKS-74U model which is 210 mm (8.3 inches).
The AK-74 barrel has a chrome-lined bore and 4 right-hand grooves at a 200 mm (1:8 in) rifling twist rate. The front sight base and gas block were redesigned. The gas block contains a gas channel that is installed at a 90° angle in relation to the bore axis. The forward section of the front sight base features a threaded collar that is used to screw in a newly-designed multifunction muzzle device (performing the role of a muzzle brake, recoil compensator and flash suppressor) or a blank-firing adaptor. The distinctive muzzle brake features a large expansion chamber, two symmetrical vertical cuts at the forward end of the brake and three vent holes positioned to prevent muzzle climb and lateral shift to the right (for right-handed shooters).
edit Magazines
Magazines for both rifles are similar except for the minor changes in dimensions to accommodate different size cartridges. AK-74 magazines are polymer, and have a raised horizontal rib on each side of the rear lug to prevent their use in a 7.62x39mm AK.
edit Weight
At 3.03 kg (6.7 lb), the AK-74 is lighter than the AK-47 which weighed 4.3 kg. The lightest variant of the AK-74 was the AKS-74U that weighed only 2.5 kg.
edit Cost
The AK-74 is cheaper to manufacture for mass production than the AK-47.
edit Where to buy
Accessories for these rifles, as well as the Airsoft versions, can be purchased on Amazon or other gunshot accessories retailers.
edit Popularity
As both the AK-47 and the AK-74 were designed by the Soviet Union, they were never controlled by copyright law or patents. This enabled any country or manufacturer to produce versions of the assault rifles (some better than others). Between this fact and the nature of the assault rifles' design—that they were easy to manufacture and use, reliable, and inexpensive to replace—the AK-47 and the AK-74 are ubiquitous in many nations around the world. It's even roughly estimated that nearly 100 million AK-47s are in circulation.

Well what should I say about myself? I was born and raised in
Atlantic City. Served in the army, now a student at Stockton. If I
had to describe myself I would say that I am a pretty laid back
kind of guy ( I know everyone says that, but seeing that I am
literally laid back as I type this it is fitting), I am an enormous
geek and I am proud of it. I am the kind of guy that is open to
different things and enjoys the company of other people. I am a
gamer, an avid comic book enthusiast, a regular movie goer and
sports fan (Go EAGLES, Phillies and Flyers!) I think that I am a
mature person, which I define as knowing the right time and place
to be immature. I like going to the gym, hate running but I do it
anyway, and I am looking forward to my plans that I have set out
and the goals I intend to reach. I have been told that I have
potential to be an amazing boyfriend to the girl that desires me
someday. Maybe that'll be one of you lucky ladies?

"Here was the recommended Beltway GOP strategy:
House Republicans should vote to fund Obamacare in a clean CR. Then exploit the disaster of the rollout to show what a horror it is. This will pump up our polls and improve our field position for 2014.
Then we can pick up some seats!
Bottom line: Let's vote to impose Obamacare on America and make Democrats pay the price of the calamity we voted to impose.
Now there may be a more cynical strategy than deliberately doing permanent damage to your country to help your party.
Right now, I just can't think of it."
Great article, Pat!
There may be a better way of describing what was at the crux of this debacle. Right now, I just can't think of it.
I disagree with this. The Republican Establishment is just as involved with the cronyism and horse trading tactics as the Democrats, which is the real problem. Oh, they may talk conservatism and even vote that way when it doesn't cause too much consternation for their network of lobbyists and campaign bankrollers. But when what is best for the citizenry or even the voters who put them in is at odds with their "power base" who they think they need to keep getting reelected, they turn against "we the people" every time. They must be primaried out by candidates who actually will listen to "we the people." The hard thing about this is that I think a few who run actually intend to do this, but get taken in and turned by the establishment types when they get there. When that happens, they must be primaried out in turn. We must make the power of we the people who actually vote stronger than the power of the monied special interests. It's the only way.
I am opposed to ANY "DEAL" where some businesses, unions, government employees, etc. get delays and exemptions from Obamacare that EVERYONE doesn't get. As a thinking person with more than a basic understanding of economics, of course I understand that "Obamacare" is a disastrous, unworkable train wreck that should be totally thrown out. But if that can't be done under current circumstances, why should other thinking people who know something of economics EVER AGREE with the hodgepodge of delays and exemptions currently in place. That's totally outrageous and unAmerican (as well as undoubtedly unconstitutional for the executive unilaterally to make these changes in the law) even if one ignores the implication of socializing one sixth of the economy. I mean, if Obamacare is so great, why do elected officials and employees of Congress, etc. need exemptions? And actually, if Obamacare is so great, why does there need to be any coersion (fines... er, I mean taxes) to force people to use it? I don't see how Republicans who share the opinions expressed here are being blamed for this mess while these questions aren't being put front and center and being addressed.
Of course it's going to blow up, but it's going to blow up the entire private medical insurance industry with it, which was the plan to begin with. So then what if the Republicans gain complete control in 2016 after the government has been "forced" to take over paying medical benefits to "fill the gap" after private industry stops writing policies, as many of them have already started doing. How would they be able to fully repeal government paid medical care if there is nothing left in the private sector to do the job? This is the reason that Obamacare, ACA, partially socialized medicine, whatever you want to call it must be stopped NOW.
Politicians love Keynesian economics because it tells them they can "do something about it" and not only that, the something they can do involves spending money they don't have which can be used to target groups of voters they want to woo. As far as a politician is concerned, what could be better? And why should they care if it doesn't work? Liberals always give more credit for trying than succeeding. So it does work... for them, just for no one else.
Austrian economics, on the other hand, teach that there is no way a central entity can possibly know the economic preferences of the millions of players in the market, and that therefore they shouldn't try since attempting the impossible will inevitably have unintended consequences that only make matters worse. But to the leftist, not "trying" is the greatest sin, again, results be damned.
Yellen is just another megalomaniacal leftist who thinks she can do the impossible, and so what if everyone else dies while she's trying.
But Derek, when people don't sign up, the hit is going to be taken by the private insurance companies. They will be forced out of business WHICH IS THE WHOLE AIM OF THE ACA!! Once the private health insurance industry is gone, they will be FORCED to go to a single payer system where the government pays benefits out of tax money (which, of course, is unsustainable, also, without much work by "death panels," etc) This is why defunding and taking out the ACA now is so important.
Is anyone stupid enough to believe a word this liar says? Sure, he'll negotiate after you first give him everything that would be up for negotiation. You think he'll "negotiate" to give any of it back?? LOL
Dr. Williams is brilliant and right on target, again, as usual. He is one of the country's most prolific purveyor of common sense. Unfortunately, liberal/progressives live in a fairy tale world where common sense is the least common commodity there is. They run on emotion only, with no rational thought considered, and they feel fully justified if they try to do something, whether the results are terrible or worse. It's a crazy world we live in here in 21st century Americs.
You're right on target. It's disgusting to me that there is so little acceptance for anything. So long as there is some way to what someone wants, morality, ethics, considerations of right and wrong be damned. The ends justify the means. Where has that led us in this world so many times? Not to a good place, that's for sure.
The big problem is the gun free zones! We've got to get rid of those silly things. All it takes is about 5-10% of the general, law-abiding public to carry concealed and you'll cut these types of incidents down to next to nothing. These crackpots want to shoot fish in a barrel, not get involved in situations where the victims might be able to shoot back. Just look at the list of shooting sites here; gun free zones every one.
You got that right. The crony "capitalists" lobby for "industry wide regulations" that they can afford but which kill their small business competition and allow them free rein in a very unfree marketplace. That's the Democratic party way. Campaign contributions from their cronies while they crush their competitors with regulations.

The Navy's New Robot Looks and Swims Just Like a Shark
- Tuesday December 16, 2014
The Navy's new underwater drone is designed to look and swim like a real fish.
The Navy's new underwater drone is designed to look and swim like a real fish.
The Navy is building a fleet of mine-hunting ships that investigators say aren't all that hot at finding mines. So in the coming years, those ships are going to get drone supplements to dive deep below the sea to spot the underwater weapons. Think of 'em as pairs of robotic glasses.
NEWPORT, Rhode Island — Adm. Gary Roughead will leave the Navy in September. Until then, he's got one big, overriding mission: Make the seas safe for American lasers and robots. As the top U.S. naval officer for the past four years, Roughead hasn't been the flashiest or most charismatic man in uniform. And being part […]

Washington: Most Iranians favour restored ties with Washington after three decades of hostility but distrust President Barack Obama despite his outreach to Muslims worldwide, a poll has found.
Eight in 10 Iranians also say they consider President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to be the country`s legitimate President despite mass protests following the disputed June 12 vote, according to the survey by WorldPublicOpinion.org (WPO).
Sixty-three percent of the 1,003 people surveyed across Iran favoured restoring diplomatic relations with the US, a position at odds with the stance taken by Tehran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Of those in favour of restoring ties, 18 percent said they would "strongly" back the move. Only 27 percent said they were opposed.
Another 60 percent of Iranians surveyed said they supported "full, unconditional negotiations" between Washington and Tehran, while 30 percent were opposed.
But despite Obama`s outreach to Muslims around the world, only 25 percent of those surveyed believe he respects Islam, while 59 percent said he does not.
Seventy-one percent said they have little or no confidence that Obama will do "the right thing" in his handling of world affairs.
The telephone survey was conducted by native Farsi speakers who interviewed respondents from outside Iran between August 27 and September 10. It has a margin of error of 3.1 percent.

Though wine has become synonymous with sophistication, it took centuries to wean humankind off of its previous luxury drink of choice—single-malt scotch mixed with molten gold. Enjoy a slightly less intense burn with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $19 for a wine tasting for two (a $50 value)
- $36 for a wine tasting for four (a $100 value)
Guests sip on 2-ounce servings of two reds, two whites, and one bubbly recommended by a wine specialist, while nibbling on complimentary snacks served at the bar. Tastings are not offered on Friday or Saturday nights.
Behind Beviamo's counter lies a wonderland of drinks ranging from aged vintages and craft beers to liquors both familiar and exotic. Wine by the glass and bottle hail from the vineyards of Spain and Italy, the rolling fields of France, and the geodesic dome covering what used to be California. The hangout's dim lighting sets the scene for cool cocktails such as The Connery–a mixture of 12-year-old scotch, biscotti liquor, ginger, orange bitters, and a splash of soda. Taps populated by craft beers compliment bottled offerings, which bear floral hops or roasted malts as diverse as the music played by live bands that musicians that often play on into the night.
82% of 296 customers recommend
"If you are a wine lover or not, you will enjoy the mood of Beviamo while sipping wine with your Sweetheart as you engage in great conversation. "

Tom Waits Sings Mardi Gras Music
This song and that rasp were made for each other.
Waits is singing here with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and the tune is "Tootie Ma Is A Big Fine Thing." It first appeared on the early 2010 compilation Preservation, a benefit album for Preservation Hall featuring tons of special guests (Del McCoury, Andrew Bird, Ani DiFranco, Dr. John, Merle Haggard, Steve Earle, etc.). It's also available, as you can see, on a limited edition 78 rpm record along with the B-side "Corrine Died On The Battlefield." That disc comes out this Friday, Nov. 19 (in New Orleans) and Saturday, Nov. 20 (online). Those not in Louisiana can visit the band website for more info.
Wait, a 78 rpm single? You mean those heavy suckers from before 1950? Yup. If you don't have a turntable capable of playing 78s, you can buy one of 100 custom record players from Preservation Hall's deluxe bundle. All I'm saying is that you New Orleaneans better not shut me and my AT-LP120 out on Friday.
Both songs are old Mardi Gras Indian tunes. For source recordings, see the Baby Dodds album Jazz A La Creole, referenced a number of times on HBO's Treme. (It's Danny Barker's group who plays them, but Dodds' name is on the jacket.) You might also know "Tootie Ma" from the Medeski Martin & Wood version with John Scofield.

Anyone who spends time in the kitchen knows how valuable space is when it comes time to prepare a meal. The addition of a work table or prep table to your kitchen can make a world of difference. Work tables provide a great amount of storage while at the same time adding décor to your kitchen.
Work and prep tables come in many shapes and sizes, so do a little research before you begin shopping. Once you're informed, you'll be able to find a kitchen work table that fits the size and style of our kitchen.
The first thing you should do is choose a space in your kitchen where you want to put a work table. Measure the area so you know what size table will fit. Then consider how much work space and storage you want to add. Hopefully you'll be able to find a prep table that fits in your kitchen and gives you the amount of work space you desire.
If you're worried about space in the kitchen, you can find a work table that has an additional drop-leaf that can be extended for extra work space, and then tucked away when the food prep is over.
Prep tables are great because of how much storage space they offer. You can find prep tables with a selection of shelves and drawers where you can keep ingredients, plates, pots and other kitchen accessories.
One of the biggest decisions you'll have to make when you're buying a prep table is the type of tabletop you choose. A variety of factors can affect your decision. Should you go with wood or stainless steel?
A stainless steel tabletop is an economical choice, and suits someone who is more concerned with function over style. Stainless steel work tables are quite resistant to bacteria, and are the easiest table to clean. Steel tabletops are also very durable, and aren't susceptible to the same sort of wear and tear as a wood tabletop.
Wood tabletops are definitely a more stylish choice for your kitchen, and there are a few different directions you can take. If you're looking for a prep table with antique feel, a distressed table will cover up any small nicks or scratches.
A butcher block table top is a great choice for those who do some heavy lifting in the kitchen. If you're chopping a lot of meat or poultry, then a butcher block is a must. The great thing about butcher blocks is that because they're so thick, you can sand down and refinish the tabletop and it will look brand new.
When you're looking for a work table or prep table there are quite a few features that can provide you with a unique experience. You can find kitchen work tables with casters, which allow you to move the table around to your kitchen as you see fit. There are prep tables with built in shelves and racks that will hold your spices, wines, pots, pans and more. At Cymax, we have a great selection of work tables to meet your needs

5 Stocks Carl Icahn Is Buying
Chesapeake Energy
First off is the sole new position that Icahn Associates added to its portfolio in the second quarter: Chesapeake Energy (CHK - Get Report). The investor bought more than 50 million shares of the firm during the second quarter, remarkably taking nearly a $1 billion position in the firm within a single quarter.
The decision to buy Chesapeake is significant. Not only was Icahn buying weakness from CHK's dramatic and public shakeup earlier this year, but the purchase also represented his second time owning a major stake in the energy company. Icahn sold off his firm's previous holdings back in 2010, when he lost confidence in the board.
Now he owns 7.6% of outstanding shares -- and he wants the board to make some big changes. >>5 Rocket Stocks Ready for Blastoff Chesapeake is mainly an unconventional natural gas firm, directing the lion's share of its efforts on 15 million acres of shale and basin projects spread across the U.S. 18.8 trillion cubic feet equivalent of proved reserves make Chesapeake a significant player in the U.S. natgas market, and its outspoken CEO makes it a significant presence in the industry. The firm has had a "for sale" sign out in the open for the last several years, shedding noncore businesses and generating substantial cash for its trouble. As those tertiary asset sales continue, CHK should continue to drive balance sheet liquidity and income statement performance. While CEO Aubrey McClendon has caught a lot of heat for under-disclosing related party transactions, I think it's clear that Chesapeake needs him at the helm. He's navigated the business through treacherous waters before, and his well participation arrangement wasn't in and of itself inappropriate. With shares already slammed from the "scandal," now looks like a bargain opportunity to be a buyer, especially if Icahn and company help to shake extra profits out of the corporate structure.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The nation's economic recovery is getting stronger but inflation remains in check, according to the Federal Reserve. The Fed said Tuesday it will remain on its current course of pumping more cash into the economy.
"The economic recovery is on a firmer footing, and overall conditions in the labor market appear to be improving gradually," said the Fed in one of its most bullish statements in years.
The central bank acknowledged there have been significant increases in commodity prices such as oil since its last meeting, but added that it believes underlying inflation pressures remain subdued.
The Fed said it will continue its plans to buy up to $600 billion in long-term Treasuries through the end of June in an effort to spur stronger economic growth.
That policy, known as quantitative easing or QE2 for short since it is the second round of bond buying, has come under criticism by economists worried about inflation.
But the Fed said it doesn't believe that the oil price increases are a concern it should address since it thinks the supply concerns, sparked by turmoil in the Middle East, will prove to be "transitory."
But despite higher inflation readings as of late, the Fed said "measures of underlying inflation continue to be somewhat low" -- suggesting the Fed is still more worried about the risk of weak prices.
Even the so-called inflation hawks among the Fed policymakers, such as Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher and Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser voted in favor of the Fed's actions. Those two presidents have been critical of QE2 in recent public statements.
The Fed also left the fed funds rate, its key rate that is used as a benchmark for a wide range of consumer and business loans, near 0%, where it has been since December 2008. The central banks repeated that it still expects to keep rates exceptionally low for "an extended period."
Still, higher energy and food prices are just one of several headwinds that economists fear could slow or stall the recovery. Cuts in spending by federal, state and local governments, continued weakness in the U.S. housing market and slowing growth overseas are other concerns.
Global fears have been exacerbated by Friday's devastating earthquake in Japan, which many economists believe could send the world's No. 3 economy into recession. The Fed did not mention the events in Japan in its statement.
The lack of any mention of Japan wasn't the only thing that caught economists' attention.
The Fed nixed mentions of how economic growth had been too slow "to bring about a significant improvement" in jobs, or that "employers remain reluctant to add to payrolls." Both those phrases were in the statement released following the Fed's last meeting in January.
Also dropped from Tuesday's statement was a reference to how consumer spending "remains constrained by high unemployment, modest income growth, lower housing wealth, and tight credit."
Theodore Littleton, economist with IFR Markets said he wasn't surprised with the more positive tone from the Fed.
"It was getting a little difficult to defend their more downbeat assessment of the labor markets, given the drop in the unemployment rate," he said.
The unemployment rate has declined almost a full percentage point between November and February, the biggest three-month drop in nearly 28 years.
But other economists said the Fed's stance is curious, given the rising concerns about obstacles for the recovery.
"We did expect a more upbeat tone but it's surprising to see them drop all of those phases that had been used a cautionary signals," said Michael Gapen, director of U.S. economic research at Barclays Capital.
