The sovereign is hoping to lead the way in courting capital to Paraguay. Boosting foreign investment will be key to its ambitious infrastructure plan
Paraguay, a landlocked nation of just nearly seven million, successfully issued a $500 million, 10-year bond, the sovereign's cross-border debut. The deal, underwritten by Citi and Bank of America Merrill Lynch, was more than 11 times subscribed and offered a yield of just 4.625% — the bottom end of pricing guidance.
The bond issue served its purpose, says Roland Holst, acting governor of the central bank. Its main objective was "to put Paraguay on the financial map," he says.
"Before it was issued, the country was completely unknown. Now, a lot more investors have become interested in Paraguay. We have had Asian and American investors visit us for the first time. We have managed to raise the country's financial profile and a lot...

A self-proclaimed master thief and her partner were arrested for theft at Bayshore Town Center in Glendale after an employee noticed glasses missing from the store.
According to the Glendale police report:
The man and woman, both 18 of Milwaukee, were arrested for theft at Sunglass Hut, 490 W. Northshore Drive, at 3:45 p.m. Dec. 28. An employee said they seemed to be "enthusiastic" to buy glasses and when she noticed some pairs missing from a display, she approached them but they fled the store.
When arrested, the woman said she was "a master thief," boasting that she steals all the time and was upset that this time she "slipped up." She also wanted police to thank the stores at Bayshore for allowing her to steal so easily.
She also said that stealing and selling what she stole was her only job. When told she was banned from the mall, she laughed and said she'd be back. The man, who was on probation and parole, was also banned and said he wouldn't return. Police called his parole officer and were told his probation would not be revoked for theft.
The couple had three pairs of glasses valued at $489, two taken from Sunglass Hut and one from LensCrafters.

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Hi everybody,
By default in magento, you can create filter for prices, select and multiselect. This is OK for attributes like color, or manufacturer for example.
Now, i would like to create an attribute WEIGHT filterable with 'Heavy' or 'Light'. All products with weight > 100 would be heavy. It's an example, we could have a size and the ranges Small, Medium and Large.
Any advices to do this ?
I guess i will have to create my own frontend_input attribute type. The value will be stored as an int but the filter process will use a new 'range' table.
is there an example of custom frontend_input ?
Thanks !

using fresh instead of dried cranberries in baking
- 9
- Follow
I was going to make scones and I would rather use fresh cranberries instead of dried. Anything I need to change you think? I am going to dust them with flour per usual but perhaps cut back on the liquid a tad? If it matters I am using the Barefoot Contessa's recipe. Thanks!
Don't forget to adjust for sugar. Fresh cranberries are quite tart; the dried are also sweetened.
0 -
i assume you're making this one since you didn't specify:
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/in...as Christina said, you'll have to increase the sugar. but also realize that the *volume* of cranberries needs to be adjusted - there are a lot more cranberries in a cup of dried than there are in a cup of fresh! for every 3/4 cup dried cranberries, use one cup of fresh cranberries and increase the sugar by 2 Tbsp.
so in this case, you'll need 1 and 1/3 cups fresh cranberries, and an additional 2 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. sugar.
make sense?
0 -
i rec you chop the fresh cranberries rather than leaving them whole. unlike softer berries like straw, blue, mul, rasp-- which tend to break down and disintegrate into baked goods, cranberries tend to swell and then pop-- leaving crater holes and mushy areas in the baked goods, and then the area around a whole berry can be very tart.
chopped chunks of whole fresh cranberries will "behave" better for you and give better texture and flavor in scones for you, i think.
re: soupkitten
you can also nuke them in the MW for a minute, and then crush slightly. makes for easier chopping :)
re: soupkitten
well it helps things along, but you don't need it. even if you just put the cranberries in a bowl and crush them with the base of a drinking glass first, it will help flatten & "tame" them a bit so they're not quite so jumpy & rolling around everywhere when you go to chop them.
re: soupkitten
I agree, definitely chop them. I often use frozen cranberries and these are easy to chop. I don't really think you'll need to reduce the liquid very much, since cranberries are quite dry.
I love fresh cranberries and find almost all dried ones way too sweet, so IMHO this substitution is a very good idea!

Health Canada recalls 2007/2008 Felt F1X Cyclocross due to falling hazard
- August 26, 2009 12:20 PM
- By Peter Hadzipetros
Health Canada is recalling 2007/2008 Felt F1X Cyclocross bicycles because the fork steerer tube can break, causing the rider to lose control and fall.
This recall involves all 2007/2008 Felt F1X Cyclocross Bicycles. The bicycles are available in semi-matte black colour and have aluminum frames with carbon fibre forks and aluminum steerer tubes.
Felt Bicycles, the U.S. importer, has received six reports of the bicycle forks breaking, including two reports of minor cuts and scrapes.
Health Canada has not received any reports of incidents or injuries to Canadians related to the use of these bicycles.
About 15 of the recalled products were sold at independent bicycle dealers in Canada from July 2006 to August 2009.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact a local Felt authorized dealer to receive a free inspection and repair.

Meeting here this week, members of the AFL-CIO Executive Council vow to continue to fight the corporate and right-wing attacks on labor, which has implications for union organizing itself.
When he came out of a closed door session of the council here July 30 Larry Cohen, the chair of the AFL-CIO's organizing committee, said that from here on out union organizing is going to take on a different face: "You're going to see, as you did with the auto workers in Chattanooga, the establishment by workers of more and more 'membership organizations,' groups that workers join voluntarily to fight for their rights, groups that don't, at first, have collective bargaining contracts in place but get there after they grow."
Cohen spoke about the different approach after a meeting in which executive council members grappled with the issue of how to corporations and right-wing tea party lawmakers who are more determined than ever to deplete unions of their resources, silence workers who might join them and cripple their ability to take action.
His reference to Chattanooga had to do with the announcement in early July by the United Auto Workers and pro-union workers at the Volkswagen plant there, that they were setting up UAW Local 42 (the number that appeared on Baseball player Jackie Robinson's uniform).
The local was established despite the fact that the union lost a representation election at the plant by a vote of 712 to 626. Although VW had remained officially neutral the state's Republican governor and Republican U.S. Sen. Bob Corker ran round-the-clock ad campaigns telling workers they would lose their jobs if they voted for the union.
Although Local 42 is not the official collective bargaining agent for the workers yet, "we fully expect that it will be recognized by the company for that purpose when a majority of the workers have joined."
In the meantime, union leaders note, the enormous number of workers at the plant who do want the union have at least some form of representation and a good tool with which to win official collective bargaining status.
"I fully expect that the UAW is going to do this at a lot of the transplants all over the South," Cohen said. By "transplants" he was referring to the many foreign-owned auto plants that have been opening across the South. Unlike Volkswagen, not all of those companies want to see a union in place with Nissan, which has a huge operation in Canton, Mississippi, being at the top of that list.
"We have to fight for representation for workers with or without collective bargaining contracts," Cohen said.
His own union has a history of working on the membership organization approach to union organizing, he said.
"The Mississippi Alliance of State Employees is part of CWA and it started out as the State Workers Organizing Committee," Cohen said. "We got the idea of the name from the Steel Workers Organizing Committee back in the 1930's." The SOC was the representation that steelworkers had until the movement eventually grew into a powerful Steelworkers union.
And it's not just unions that can lend support to setting up the new membership organizations that would represent unrepresented workers, he said, pointing to major assistance from Mississippi NAACP members in organizing city and state workers in Jackson, Mississippi. The CWA has also organized Texas state employees into Local 6186, another union local established, in this case where collective bargaining rights do not exist for the public workers involved.
Cohen said not waiting to establish representative groups, including union locals, until there is official collective bargaining is critical for a host of reasons, including the ability to influence political events. "Look at Seattle," he said, "and the ability of fast food workers there to put on the pressure to win the $15 minimum wage.
"What's being done with this different, if not totally new, form of organizing is at the core of what has to be done to defeat the right wing," he said, "and it is a critical part of what workers are doing to defend their own interests and advance their rights."
Labor leaders here say none of this means, however, that traditional forms of union organizing will be abandoned and some, in fact, report huge successes there despite the political power wielded by anti-union forces.
The 1.6 million-member American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, for example, reported 90,000 new members since January and attributes much of that growth, particularly among EMT's and home health aids, to "face-to-face" organizing.
"We understand what it means to be tossed around in rough seas," said Lee Saunders, president of the AFSCME. The goal is getting to where workers have their just due and that takes keeping your sights on where you are going, courage and perspective."

Despite narrowly losing a representation election the UAW set up Local 42 to represent Volkswagen workers in Chattanooga who did support the union and they expect the local will become the official bargaining rep for the entire plant when a majority of VW employees join. It is expected that this approach will be taken widely across the South and other parts of the country. Doug Strickland/ Chattanooga Times Free Press/AP

Happy 35th, Kate Moss!
>> Last year, Kate Moss tried to ring in 34 by partying one hour for every year since her birth — she only made it 18, but she did it in starry Chanel, no less. This year it's all about the big 3-5, which marks twenty years since her first modeling job for The Face; Kate's supposed to celebrate all weekend, with the big house party tonight involving a pig on a spit, but we're celebrating with a look back at old-school Kate — think the glorious '90s.

My passion is underwater and nature photography. I particularly like finding patterns and designs in nature and getting down to the very basics with super macro views. In my early years, I had extremely poor vision and, as a consequence, I would get very close to things in order to see them. I think this handicap influenced my technique as I tend to try and create brightly colored, closely cropped, in-your-face images that are easy to see. Revealing the beauty in the mundane is my goal. I live in the countryside of western Oregon and have no trouble finding frogs, birds, mushrooms and flowers to photograph. I also take particular pleasure in recording the antics of my Labradors. Enjoy the photos.

French firms must fight China for stake in Africa - Moscovici
ABIDJAN (Reuters) - French companies must go on the offensive and fight the growing influence of rival China for a stake in Africa's increasingly competitive markets, France's Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici said on Saturday.
France, which once ruled over much of West Africa as colonial master, continued to exert direct and indirect influence over its ex-colonies for decades through a murky system of patronage known as "Francafrique".
However, that regional reach is now being challenged by a new Chinese investment blitz.
"It's evident that China is more and more present in Africa...(French) companies that have the means must go on the offensive. They must be more present on the ground. They have to fight," Moscovici told journalists during a trip to Ivory Coast.
France's Socialist President Francois Hollande has promised to break with his conservative predecessor Nicolas Sarkozy's business-focused policy towards Africa and root out the last vestiges of Francafrique.
However that does not mean France will back away from competition with China for economic influence in Africa, Moscovici said.
"Africa is booming. Sub-Saharan Africa will have the second highest regional growth after Asia in 2012 with a rate of 5.5 percent," he said.
"The new phenomenon is that African growth has the potential to stimulate growth in France. We want to be present there."
French firms including infrastructure group Bouygues (BOUY.PA) and energy company Areva (AREVA.PA) are on the front lines in the race for markets in former colonial nations from Ivory Coast to Cameroon.
But working in sub-Saharan Africa carries risks that some firms are loath to take, as demonstrated by the kidnapping of seven Areva employees in Niger in 2010.
At the same time China's trade with Africa reached $166.3 billion in 2011, according to Chinese statistics, and African exports to China - primarily resources to fuel Chinese industries - rose to $93.2 billion from $5.6 billion over the past decade.
China in July offered African countries $20 billion in loans over the next three years, double the amount pledged in the previous three-year period.
Moscovici said the creation of a new Public Investment Bank would boost the competitiveness of French companies on the world stage.
The fund of around 40 billion euros is intended to ease lending to small and medium-sized businesses and inject capital directly into selected companies. The law creating it passed the lower chamber of France's parliament last week and will go to the Senate later this month.
"It will be the bank for the SMEs. It will be the bank of...the regions. It will also be the bank for exports," Moscovici said.
"And it's on this basis that our businesses will head out with more confidence to conquer new markets and be more present in our traditional markets," he said.
Moscovici was due to sign a debt conversion contract with the Ivorian government on Saturday that will see 630 million euros of the west African nation's debt to France transformed into poverty reduction projects.
Initial projects will target areas, including infrastructure construction and rural development, aimed at stimulating Ivory Coast's economic growth.

Colonels swept in key SLC doubleheader
Published: Monday, April 28, 2008 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 28, 2008 at 1:22 p.m.
THIBODAUX -- The weather held up enough Sunday morning for the Nicholls State softball team to play, but the Colonel bats were no where to be found with runners in scoring position.
Nicholls State (25-25 overall, 12-14 Southland Conference) left 18 runners on base in dropping the Southland Conference doubleheader to McNeese State.
The Cowgirls swept the Colonels 3-1 and 4-2 at the Colonels Softball Diamond.
Nicholls seniors Kat Harrell, Rachel Pugh, Krystalin Ensminger, Amy Thibodeaux and Jessica Barksdale played their final home game Sunday.
Ensminger (8-13) started Game 2 of the doubleheader in the circle, but took the loss. She pitched three innings, allowing seven hits, four earned runs, one walk and one strikeout.
"We couldnt get the crucial hit," Nicholls coach Jenny Parsons said. "Our pitching was all right. Now we have to beat Corpis Christi two out of three to get into the tournament."
The Cowgirls (21-33, 14-12) struck first in Game 2 when Lindsey Langner scored on a fielders choice off the bat of Jenny Clay in the first inning.
McNeese added two more runs in the third inning for a 3-0 lead.
Langner scored on Holly Longs fielders choice, and Megan Beard drove in Liz Morvant on a single.
In the fourth inning, the Cowgirls took a 4-0 lead when Whitney Corbello singled to drive in Molly Guidry.
This time the Colonels answered after Nikki Smith hit a double to left field that drove in Karla Troxler.
The Colonels scored in the fifth inning when Danielle Clayton hit a sacrifice fly that drove in Harrell. The Colonels had an opportunity to cut into the Cowgirls lead even more, but Rachel Pugh struck out with the bases loaded.
Game 1 went much the same way.
This time, though, the Colonels got out to the early lead. Audrey Wood singled to drive in Kodi Butler, who reached base after a walk. But that was the only run the Colonels got.
McNeese answered in the second inning after Beard hit a single to drive in Long.
In the fourth inning, McNeese broke the tie by scoring two runs. Tiffany Ritchie drove in both runs after hitting a double that Corbello and Guidry scored on.
Bethany Stefinsky picked up the win in both games for McNeese, combining for 11 innings pitched, with 13 strikeouts, two earned runs, seven walks and eight runs.
"They did great," McNeese State coach Chris Malveaux said. "They knew they had to win (Sunday) to get into the tournament."

Fager Talat Sadat, an Egyptian parliament member and the nephew of the slain Egyptian president, Anwar Sadat, announced that he would run for the presidency of Egypt, according to the London-based Asharq Al-Awsat.
Sadat said he was waiting for the legal date to officially submit his candidacy. In comments published on Monday, Sadat said he wants to complete his cousin's way.
Anwar Sadat was the Egyptian president during 1970-1981. He signed the 1978 Camp David Accords and a final peace treaty with Israel in 1979. On October 6, 1981, Sadat was assassinated during a military review celebrating the 1973 Suez crossing. Sadat appointed Husni Mubarak (the current Egyptian leader) vice president of the state in 1975.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The Miami Marlins say ace Jose Fernandez will have Tommy John surgery Friday on his right elbow.
The move was expected after Fernandez was put on the disabled list this week. Manager Mike Redmond announced Thursday that Fernandez would have the elbow ligament transplant procedure.
The season-ending operation will be done in Los Angeles. Fernandez becomes the latest in a string of major league pitchers this year who have needed Tommy John surgery this year.
The 21-year-old Fernandez was last season's NL Rookie of the Year. He was 4-2 with a 2.44 ERA in eight starts this season.

Published on Jan 15, 2013 4:18 PM

Secretary-general Chee Soon Juan made the announcement at a press conference at the party headquarters, one day before Nomination Day.
As recently as Monday night, Dr Chee had indicated the party would contest when he told reporters that the SDP had decided on which candidate to field.
An SDP member also collected a political donation certificate earlier on Tuesday. Party activists have also been distributing flyers in Punggol East every night since the writ of election was issued last Wednesday.

We were just walking thru the Animal Rescue League's Kitty section when we spotted this beautiful white feline not quite fully grown yet. After inquiring, we found out that his previous owners had found his as a stray, and decided to keep him as their pet. After a short period they brought him to the Rescue League kennel saying they could not keep him because he could not "get along" with their other cat. We fell in love with this frisky guy and immediately adopted him, took him home and introduced him to the rest of the Pa Pawsee. No, it was not love at first sight but after a short period of time they did adjust and now live together happily most of the time.. We feel very fortunate to have found such a loving and wonderful companion as Snowball.

Fresh Del Monte Produce Announces Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results
Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. (NYSE: FDP) today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The Company reported net income per diluted share of $0.21 in the third quarter of 2011, compared with net income per diluted share of $0.24 in the third quarter of 2010. Excluding asset impairment and other charges (credits), net the Company reported net income per diluted share of $0.22 for the third quarter of 2011 compared with net income per diluted share of $0.22 in the third quarter of 2010.
"Given the global economic uncertainty and its impact on consumer markets, I am pleased with Fresh Del Monte's solid operating results for the third quarter," said Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our performance was driven by three major factors: We balanced product supply with market demand in spite of competitive and economic pressures throughout the world. We controlled costs while improving our operating efficiencies through our continuous process improvement model, and thirdly, we succeeded in expanding sales to non-traditional food channels and sustaining our growth in emerging markets. We remain committed to executing strategies that focus on prudent investment in growth markets and delivering shareholder value through efficiency improvements throughout our operations, while maintaining our commitment to further enhancing product quality and service."
Net sales for the third quarter of 2011 increased $2.1 million to $795.2 million, compared with $793.1 million in the prior year's third quarter. The increase in net sales was primarily due to expanded sales in the Company's other fresh produce business, along with contributions from its North America banana business. The increase in net sales was partially offset by lower sales in the Company's prepared food business.
Gross profit for the quarter increased $12.1 million to $62.9 million, compared with gross profit of $50.8 million, excluding $1.2 million of other credits, net, in the third quarter of 2010. The increase in gross profit for the quarter was primarily driven by the Company's other fresh produce and banana businesses. Gross profit was negatively impacted by significantly higher fuel costs and unfavorable exchange rates in several producing countries.

Grade: B-
Trishna is the third time the prolific British filmmaker Michael Winterbottom has tackled Thomas Hardy and the first to not play it more or less straight. Jude (1995), based on Jude the Obscure, and The Claim (2000), an Americanized take on The Mayor of Casterbridge, are tough twists on the classic lit adaptation that pummel sprawling tomes into compact narratives, all while stressing their grim majesty. Trishna goes even further: for most of its run, you can be forgiven for regularly forgetting you're watching an adaptation of one of the great novels, let alone a version of Tess of the D'Urbervilles.
Winterbottom brings the tragedy, about the downfall of a "pure" but poor woman (here called Trishna and played by "it" beauty Freida Pinto), to modern-day India, whose disparate pockets of wealth and poverty at least superficially resembles 19th century England. More importantly, he infuses it with his signature style. Winterbottom is called a chameleon due to his yen for crossing genres (his previous film was The Trip, and before that was a take on Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me). But his approach tends to remain the same, no matter the material: handheld-heavy, favoring freshness and improv, varied only by speed. Trishna is arguably the fastest film he's made since the immigrant saga In This World, all whiplash camerawork and quicksilver edits that throttle the viewer from one place to another.
Winterbottom's approach is so intoxicating that it's almost a shame when he has to attend to the plot, even if that plot happens to be Tess of the D'Urbervilles. Much of the source is excised, but the most questionable move is combining two main characters – evil libertine Alec and nice preacher's son Angel – into Jay (Riz Ahmed). For all his energetic direction, Winterbottom is a lazy conceptualist, and Jay's abrupt segue from sensitive loverboy to cruel rapist seems less like a radical reinterpretation of the source than a reckless way to cut down an over 500-page doorstop to under two hours. Winterbottom excels at collaboration, be that with screenwriter Frank Cottrell Boyce or Steve Coogan, but it's a shame Hardy isn't around to stand his ground. Or failing that, at least remind him that Pinto is the Webster's definition of the term "pretty vacant."
