UltiPro's Unified HCM Streamlines Complex Business Requirements For The Pantry's Dynamic Expansion
Please replace the release with the following corrected version due to multiple revisions.
The corrected release reads:
Ultimate Software (Nasdaq:ULTI), a leading cloud provider of people management solutions, announced today that The Pantry, Inc., the largest convenience store chain in the Southeastern U.S., has improved HR and payroll processes, enhanced talent acquisition, and streamlined its onboarding experience with Ultimate Software's UltiPro.
Headquartered in Cary, NC, The Pantry operates approximately 1,560 stores in thirteen states under select banners, including Kangaroo Express ®, its primary operating banner. Previously, the company used a homegrown AS400 Legacy system to manage its human capital management (HCM) alongside multiple systems and spreadsheets. Challenged by integrating legacy systems and a growing distributed workforce, The Pantry's leadership began to look for enhanced HR technology with features that would organize and strengthen the entire people management process. The Pantry selected UltiPro for its cloud-based end-to-end HR, payroll, and talent management functionality and went live on UltiPro in January 2013. "Our previous system had been customized so much that it limited opportunities for improvements," said Heather Clawson, HRIT manager at The Pantry. "UltiPro's payroll capabilities are strong and employee data moves easily across all areas of HCM, from recruitment to onboarding to payroll. We also chose UltiPro for its ease of use, strategic reporting tools, and its ability to integrate well with other applications which are all important to our business. UltiPro has helped us better integrate the systems and improve processes. " Delivered in the cloud, UltiPro provides businesses with end-to-end HCM functionality, including HR, payroll, benefits, recruitment, onboarding, performance management and reviews, succession planning, career development, time and attendance, and 24-7 access to information for managers and employees. The Pantry now has one system of record to consolidate and manage workforce information, supported with cohesive business intelligence for fast, and extensive, reporting and analysis.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Louis Vuitton Fall 2013 Runway
Marc Jacobs has delivered a knockout Fall 2013 Louis Vuitton collection, emphasizing the intimacy and luxury of boudoir dressing. With a circular set of hotel doors surrounding an audience that included Naomi Watts and Jessica Chastain, models like Kate Moss and Lindsey Wixson showed off ladylike looks with plenty of sex appeal. Tweed suits with nipped-in waists had degrade sequins while panne velvet dresses clung to the body. The house's famous bags were rendered in fur and other luxe materials, leaving the logos off the runway. Click through to see all the photos from Louis Vuitton Fall 2013.

de EDMONTON
I ordered two coverlets as Xmas Gifts. They are definitely well made and beautiful looking. The first purchase was for a younger individual who absolutely loved the quality the item.Unfortunately, I had to return the second coverlet as it was purchased for an elderly individual (64 years of age) who has medical problems and cannot tolerate heavy bedding. It would be very challenging to remove, launder and fold the item.This item is beautiful, but not recommended for any individual who may be challenged with overall muscle weakness, i.e. fibromyalgia, chronic pain syndrome and for the elderly with medical issues.

I ordered and received my olive coverlet set yesterday. Simply stunning! I loved all the colors but for me the olive just said purchase me. It is even more lovely in person than on t.v. The material and patterning throughout is amazing. It looks like this cost 3 times the price it sold for. It looks absolutely stunning in my bedroom. So glad I purchased this set. I promise if you are lucky enough to get this you will not be disappointed. Thank you Guillaume for another perfect set.

I ordered this coverlet in ivory and it is beautiful. I ordered the king size for our king bed, unfortunately it fits small. I wished it was a bit larger. The king size would fit a queen bed perfect though.
Love it!

ordered it in olive - more of a darker green with a hint of olive. Just beautiful! Not a heavy cover but the embellishments on give it that exta touch! And soft!!!!

Classy Elegance!
Par Debbie
de Grand Falls, NL
Just got this set today and I absolutely love it! I'd been looking for something gender neutral and this set is perfect. The quality is superb and feels amazing. I ordered it in olive and it looks beautiful against my biscotti walls. It could be paired with so many paint colours. Glad I ordered the queen size for my double bed as it covers perfectly. If you have a queen size bed, I'd suggest ordering a king set to get the proper coverage. Very pleased - I can't say enough to describe how beautiful this set is.

Absolutely Stunning!

Purchased the taupe color. I've been searching for a nice coverlet for a very long time and couldn't find anything I liked in the stores until now!! Super soft, love it!!!
Absolutely love this coverlet.
Par Carol
de Nova Scotia
I also ordered the Burgundy before it was aired. This is one of the nicest coverlets I have ever purchased. You would never know that it is faux fur due to the stitching of the pattern. It is a very nice weight (not too heavy and not too light). As it says in the description - perfect for Canadian winters. Like it so much, I have to order another in a different colour. Guillaume has done it again.

Fantastic Bed Coveret
Par Callie the Pooch
de Vancouver, BC
This is a beautiful coverlet and sham set, bought it in the burgundy and it is outstanding, such a buy. Get them while they are available and on sale!
Par Designer Diva
de Ottawa(Ontario)
What can I say? This bedspread and shams are beautiful! I ordered the Queen in Taupe and they arrived in Ottawa today. I put them on the bed immediately and accessorized with my William Morris design needlepoint pillows. Just lovely!The design and fabrication are superb and the faux fur fabric amazing in appearance and hand. What an inspired combination-so elegant and classic yet modern too.These will be on the bed all winter-so cozy but lightweight- and maybe I will just have to get the ivory for summer.Another success for Guillaume.

de Belleville, On
When I first saw this online, I knew I had to order it as I couldn't stop thinking of it. Ordered before it was shown live on the tv. Purchased the burgundy one and love it, so rich looking and incredibly soft! I bought the king size to have more overhang for my queen size bed as it has a higher mattress.

Each time I read the comments about China, or about Asia in general, I lose a little bit confidence in democracy.
--- To see how so many people hold a so arrogant attitude when talking about things that they know nothing about.
Maybe in the near future, a firm believer in that China needs democracy would start to back up that only elitism would work.
---Essentially the major debate on every diner table in China.
Why doesn't China apologize to people of inner mongolia, east turkistan and Tibet first? I bet China has massacred more people than Japan did. Its just that all of these "harmonious" events simply go unnoticed, but when it comes to Japan, the Chinese love taking the moral high ground. Again,an authoritarian communist state can never take a moral high ground over a peaceful democracy.
All these protesters carrying Mao's portraits would have been ex-Foxconn workers who were fired from their jobs because the Chinese economy has been slowing down for quite a while. They did not have anything better to do than carry the portrait of a bald idiot and insult Japan. Now go back and assemble a million more iPhones today, america wants more!
Meanwhile, go murder more Kashmiris Mr Indian.
Continue occupying and suppressing Tibet, and bullying your neighbours, Miss China...
what do you know about? have you ever been to tibet asking for truth from the tibetan people or done any research in china? it's stupid to come here to insult others' country by just reading some supid stories from some stupid media . do some research to find out who has been bullied in the past history. China has a too moderate character and is one of the countries with the least greed and least aggressive mind in the whole world.
Continue murdering Cambodians and being even nastier commies than the Chinese, Mr Vietnam. (Well most likely you are not Vietnamese, or at least don't hold a Viet passport, but I'm going to make fun of the Viets anyways.)
Westminster are really disappointed. We are Germany in World War? That's ridiculous! No country could alow others infringe upon sovereignty. You think we are Nazi? No, we are not. We never occupy other countries. In opposite, we deeply suffered pain over 100 years. One of the reasons is because of you, the imperialism, including Britain, USA and Japan. Tens of thousands dead and the country was almost collapse. However we never asked you saying sorry. And we got over the situation and come to be a country which can keep our people safe.
Diaoyus ever and will always belongs to us, and the hospital materials can prove it. We just defense our territory.
You are always criticize other people, even though they are right, but never reflect upon yourselves. You attacked Afghan and Iraq, and we never attacked any country, so I don't know who is more Nazi.
Calm down, the article is comparing the sitauation of China with that of 1914 and earlier Germany, NOT with Nazi Germany.
Seems like the claim of "understanding history" is not quite true yet.
Idiot! WW1 was not about Nazis. The parallel is reasonable and the arguments just.
Earned 50cents yet?
Well, Japan started a war with Russia. Japan started a war with China. Then Japan started a war with United States. I certainly won't be surprised if it starts a second war with China, since history has a tendency to repeat itself and Japan hasn't learned from history for all we know. It is all up to Japan now. Does it really to want to live peacefully with its neighbors or choose to walk down the path of self-destruction one more time?
China is a practical joke in geo-politics. It is just a wannabe regional power with big ego issues like Taiwan. China's foreign policy has always been so unsuccessful that it could not even reconcile its relationship with Taiwan. 60 years since independence it still remains where it all started! China's shallow foreign policy has also completely ruined North Korea and is about to ruin Pakistan- its only two allies in the whole world, both failed states. China is already being strangled from all directions without any strategic space to operate in the region. In the past, when there were joint naval exercises between USA-Japan-Australia-S. Korea- India, the Chinese military was scared to death. The American foreign policy is smartly designed to accommodate the interests of each of these countries as well as its own. Going by the examples from the past, this could also mark the beginning of a pan-Asian security organization against China, an equivalent of NATO in the region, where an attack on any one of the countries would mean an attack on all of them, which means at a time China will have to fight a war on 5 fronts. This has not happened yet, only because China is a geo-political joke- too much flexing of muscles and too little action. Japan, korea, Vietnam and Philippines have nothing to worry, the alliances in the region will take care of it.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooo many Indian trolls in the China section.
India is a practical joke in geo-politics. It is just a wannabe regional power with big ego issues like Mauritius. India's foreign policy has always been so unsuccessful that it could not even reconcile its relationship with Mauritius. 60 years since independence it still remains where it all started! India's shallow foreign policy has also completely ruined Sri Lanka and is about to ruin Bangeldesh- its only two allies in the whole world, both failed states. China is already being strangled from all directions without any strategic space to operate in the region. In the past, when there were joint naval exercises between USA-Japan-Australia-S. Korea- Pakistan, the Indian military was scared to death. The American foreign policy is smartly designed to accommodate the interests of each of these countries as well as its own. Going by the examples from the past, this could also mark the beginning of a pan-Asian security organization against India, an equivalent of NATO in the region, where an attack on any one of the countries would mean an attack on all of them, which means at a time India will have to fight a war on 5 fronts. This has not happened yet, only because India is a geo-political joke- too much flexing of muscles and too little action. Japan, korea, Pakistan and Bangledesh have nothing to worry, the alliances in the region will take care of it.
Gogo Pakistan and Bangladesh!
If Uncle Sam's unemployment rate continues to rise, the group dance might turn into solo dance. Somehow, no one can stop the turn of tide. Its nature that counts.
You need to stop with this anti-Americanism. That's what the Indian trolls (see above) is trying to goad you into doing with his post.
Kyat Drone: (1) Where are you from? and (2) What are you smoking?
Says a Chinese troll... :-)
Thanks. I have my own stance. Never mind about the Indians. They are nothing but a bunch of childish clowns in my eyes. They sometimes cause irritations. Actually, they are just so poor and nosy. The only thing they love to boast about is their Victoria-style English. I pity them very much.
yr mother call u back to have dinner. so go out!
um.......i am an CHINESE high school student. I have to say ,if you want to pretend that you know so much about china ,you should come to china first,you can never know everything from the media you encountered.because they have their own standpoint .it's obviously we cannot solve so many problem.but,,,,,we need time .and welcome to china .
What does it matter? What logical of factual value does where I am from and what I am smoking add to the conversation?
Why are you so childish/dumb? As a grown man you should probably act with a tiny bit of class, and if you are not capable of such class, then get off TE and go troll YouTube, where you would feel more at home.
Says a Viet troll... :-)
I do not think this article compared China to Nazi Germany but pre WWI Imperial Germany.
That would be a very good comparison and one to be noted. China going to war with Japan could be a proxy with America. If China won then America would have been irrevocably humiliated. The economical benefits for China would become immense.
The stakes are high the pieces on the board are slowly going into place. All that is needed is a world economic crises no government is capable of handling. Faced with the prospect of unrest at home a war to end all wars would quickly become the one and only solution to fix any economic problems.
"I do not think this article compared China to Nazi Germany but pre WWI Imperial Germany."
YAY finally someone who has basically reading comprehension skills who is posting on this article!!!
The rest of your most IMO is meh.
LOL! Typical chinese comment. Agrees only with their personal preference. The mindset is just too rigid to merit much tought.
You cannot agree with the first line of my comment and so roughly dismiss the rest. If you do that then the comparison does not hold; but having said that I admit one does need a sound knowledge of european history to comprehend. Ah yes of course Asians do not waste time with subjects that get them nowhere in their careers.
Thats the problem you see?
I guess that somebody never learned to take criticism. BTW I do have a good understanding of European history; I just find your analysis of this situation and the parallels that you draw to be meh.
The Economist criticize China since 100 years ago, even China did nothing. The Economist even cheering when British invaded China.
So the better way is China just beat up anyone that it want to beat up and let The Economist continue with its criticism, as usual. This dog will bark anyway.
I wish this dog could be neutered to give neutral views.
"China has no territorial ambitions" - thus spake The Economist.Ask Indians! How much land China has grabbed and how much more it has laid its claim on.Ask Tibetans.Rather than behaving like a responsible super power,China is behaving like Germany before WWII.
Not only Japan, this is cause for worry for India,S Korea,Vietnam,Thailand,Philipines,Mongolia,Singapore.... See the language.Some one wants to serve the bomb for lunch.Do we get ready for "last supper"?
Well actually the PRC has no territorial disputes with South Korea, Thailand, Mongolia, or Singapore. (That's 4/7 countries that you listed.)
Tibet to China is Kashmir to India. You Indians are also brutal imperialists, just like the Chinese.
Well actually ever major power today happens to have a brutal imperialist past.
You are incorrect on Singapore. Wen has twice stated, on the record, that China has a "Malacca Dilemma", meaning that 85% of China's energy is shipped through the Malacca Straits, and the US owns the Malacca Straits with these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Littoral_combat_ship
which are based in Singapore
By the way, if you are a China troll, why do you use names like 3 Rupee Agent and 1 Kyat Drone. If its supposed to be 'cover', it isn't working..
But the Malacca Dilemma isn't a territorial dispute, is it? Perhaps you should learn what a territorial dispute actually is before posting dumb stuff on this website.
Also you are obviously the same guy who has made literally thousands of accounts on TE to spam (often copy and paste verbatim propaganda post jobs) about the Malacca Dilemma and other sillyness. Why use literally thousands of different of accounts on TE? If it supposed to be a "cover", it isn't working.
Comparing Israel to Nazi Germany makes much more sense ......but Israel pays the Economist for favourable reporting.
Comparing China to Nazi Germany makes total sense, the riots against the japanese with violence is comparable to the anti-semitism in Nazi germany, backed by the Communist government.
I mean the Israeli government (and their Republican Party allies int he US) are also backing discrimination against the Muslims.
Luckily there are enough sane non-racist people in the USA (the Democrats) to stop such ridiculousness.
Off-topic much?
Not even a tiny bit. Check out what the OP's post was about, and what the post that I responded to was about.
BTW you should vote for the DPJ in the upcoming presidential elections, because let's face it: peace is better than war.
(1) As a British newspaper, the Economist is a great deal more skeptical of Israeli behavior and claims than most of the English-language press, which is of course 3/4 American. (2) Comparing Israeli policy to that of old South Africa is legitimate. Comparing it to the Nazis is not. (3) Kyat Drone doesn't really get US politics. The Democrats are as fervently pro-Israel as the Republicans. They are more down on war, though.
"The Democrats are as fervently pro-Israel as the Republicans"
Some in the Democrat rank-and-file may be, but Obama certainly isn't. He has been heard off-camera saying Netanyahu is a pain in the backside.
The Democrats are far less inclined to toady up to Zionists than Mittens is, which is one reason why Obama will get re-elected
Nazi Germany? I think you need to read a brief history of the 20th century.
The article is comparing China to Imperial Germany (1871-1918) in the run up to the Great War (1914-1918). Similar ambition, irks and economic potential.
Nothing remotely Nazi about this comparison it.
It could end up in a war. Given today's level of violence and aggressiveness the world over, it is not far fetched.
Other issues are probably underlying the visible scene. As an example, the present situation in the Western world is untenable, as far as jobs for the masses. They are scarce and becoming even fewer.
It could just be that changing the present setup, in which China is the dominant manufacturer of things, will end up disrupting this privileged position, bringing many of the jobs previously outsourced to China, back to their original base.
So, a bit of friction, a little scaramouch here and there, does wonders, also giving bad press to China. After all, they are the ones threatening to nuke Japan and the Chinese press is a mouthpiece of the authorities.
Bottom line: thank God for the nuclear supremacy of the US and the defense treaty between the US and Japan.
If the war started, there would be no winner. Such supremacy and pact might be the cause for anything bad happening. Not a good sign to be boasted.
United States will be the biggest winner
No one can be the exception. China is building up enough stockpile of nukes for full distribution. US will have the share. It would be the showhand game.
The US cannot even defeat the Iraqis or the Afghan Taliban who are just poor illiterate farmers carrying AK-47s
The US spent USD 3 trillion and cannot defeat 100,000 Iraqi and 100,000 Afghan fighters who just spent nothing in money
NOW--the US is retreating with its tails between its legs from Afghanistan
If the US cannot defeat a few miserable peasants in Afghan---how is it going to take on a giant with 1000 ICBMs and 10,000 nuclear war- heads, ?????
Now it becomes pretty obscure which one sounds more Nazi between the two. Chinese gangsters and Japanese imperialists. Asia would be much more peaceful without these two dumpsters + North Korean terrorists.
Let the global poll be conducted on who is the most evil country in the world rather than your guess. You know good guys are on the good guys side and .....
The current poll in TE seems to simply suggest it doesn't have enough Asian readership though.
Just want to point out that I use the words like gansters, imperialists, and terrorists, through which I meant to recognize the diversiti of opinions among people in each country. There's no bad country or good country. But there are bad people and good people or relatively sound democratic leadership or oppressive and harmful leadership.

How dare China be nationalistic about defending their own territorial sovereignty - they should immediately surrender to globalists like all other treasonous governments.
I do wish these morons would desist from labeling Hitler as a 'nationalist' when he was clearly an imperialist who had no respect for other nations territorial sovereignty - much like globalists.
Shame the author of this obvious distortion (comparing China to NAZI Germany) remains anonymous - wouldn't like being identified with this propaganda nonsense...
I believe the author was comparing China's rise and ambitions to those of imperial Germany (1871-1918) and not to nazi Germany (1933-1945). So in my eyes, you seem to be the one distorting fact.

"Asia's inability to deal with the islands raises doubts about how it would cope with a genuine crisis"
This = Condescending statement of the year.
Firstly, we all know just how amazingly easy territiorial disputes are to solve, right? Wrong. Territorial disputes and soverign claims carry on for GENERATIONS, and most remain unsolved. Eventually issues just meld away into a deadlocked status quo. And many times, status quo is the best option available.
Secondly, its just a bunch of little islands, surely this isn't a 'genuine' crisis, right? Wrong. People, and nations, have gone to war over less.
I agree with the view that war/military action is unlikely, but not, as the article claims, because the issue is easy to solve OR not a contentious enough issue.
People who think that territorial disputes over trivial territories are impossible to resolve ought to examine US-Mexican resolutions of problems caused by the meandering Rio Grande. These problems were handled quickly and successfully without the slightest reference to bonkers nationalism.
While the issue of who have the sovereignty over Diayu is still being disputed and still NOT settled--- this is a LEGAL issue
The Chinese Govt is angry with the Japanese Govt for breaking the mutual agreement agreed sometime ago--- that this issue be postponed until the next generation of Chinese-Japanese people to negotiate and resolve --- when there will be hopefully, less nationalism on both sides
All is fine and well until the Noda Govt did a "Pearl Habor" on China by a surprise SNEAK attack by buying the islands
The consequences are already being felt as REUTERS reported that Japanese Companies had already suffered more financial looses than the TZUNAMI
As more and more Chinese consumers boycott Japanese brands --- this should affect Japanese exports as Japan currently exports 25% of her goods to China
The results of the loss of goodwill and friendship is not known yet
OVERALL-- in the short and medium term---this matter does not look good
The tragedy for Mankind is that the ordinary citizen suffers terribly when their leaders play dirty politics like doing a "Pearl Habour" on others
Will Japan never learn that Pearl Habours cause sufferings all round
Comparing the purchase of The Sengokus from a Japanese citizen, by the Japanese government to Pearl Harbour isn't even a remotely accurate metaphor.
Pearl Harbor is what the US got for helping the Chinese Nationalists while the Chinese were at war with Japan.
That itself deserved a declaration of war.
This war between Japan and Chinese Nationalists, by the way, was started by the Chinese on July 7, 1937, on Marco Polo bridge in Beijing.
Japan can stop exporting to China. It will hurt them even more.
read the history
war was started by the Japanese
is was called Mukden Incident on September 18, 1931
So you guys from Europe or America are just offpring of fashmen and grazier. How can you realise the love of earth. The England France and others, their differents just like those of our province. China is our homeland, is the place where we born and dead.
Is this a coded message?
Who is your dad,English .I think American is.
And your dad is Li Gang.
you know Li Gang? Are you chinese? I just think this atticle is too too too prejudice。And it is ture that more and more chinese think America 、 England and japan are axis powers and fascist。
To conclude senkaku island issue iis not something we can do here.
But these demos occurred in China, burning Japanese department, japanese factory, japanese cars, steeling products from collapsed japanese department store, harming Japanese people. Is this the way to show their
patriotism? Don't you think it is very dangerous this nation react like this.
to remember the 3 thousand people kill in nanjing, don't you think our reaction is so slight?
300000 not 3000
3 million
Then I hope that if China take over the islands you will stay very calm, in that case Japan will be the model of the world, sincerely.
You do not know how mamy women were raped and how many children were killed during WarII by Japanese,untill now the Japanese do not realise they are wrong,so you do not konw how angry the Chinese are.
300 thousand
Chinese should drags the Japanese out and burn them.
Holding the modern Japan responsible for the attrocities that happened over 80 years ago to the point that you can justify burning japanese businesses and japanese manufactured cars seems out of proportion. Surely you don't hold the current CCP responsible for the millions who died as a direct result of the great leap forward or the cultural revolution?
Disagreeable seriously... According to my unstanding , the Chinese people in japan had the worse treatment , for instance , the enterprise and the restaurant which was holded by China suffered from the raid , the gate of Chinese school was fired by the people from your nation ,please don/t tell me it was just a coincidence , and in addition ,recalling the history happened in Nanjing ,could you give me a reasonable explanation . l suggest you thinking more before your comment . thankyou .
the so called historial fact is the least credible and feebld evidence. all of them probably can be forge by the authorities, both Japan and China. there is no use to argue on this problem, just speaking by strength and power.
IF China wants to launch a war, I'm curious as to what their strategic objectives would be. Conquer Okinawa? Seize Tokyo? Even for all of the anti-Japanese angst in China, it's hard to see what they really want to GET from a war. Sounds like punishment and revenge is the only objective, although a few of the extremists have floated genocide out there.
If a theoretical war did take place, what would cause the Chinese to stop and say "OK, we won"?
Fighting a war over some limited gas and maybe oil resources is as stupid as it gets, let alone all out war.
This episode, if played out, is likely going to be China allowing fishing boats and sending maritime police to the islands to take up a notch, to show its refusal to recognize Japan's current status quo, it is being done right now. Then the next card is dealt by Japan, it is talking about sending navy to the islands, if the navy opens fire on civilians, then it will be the next stage.
But of course, if you take TE seriously instead of a trumpetier, folks like this author will very likely comdamn the Chinese fishermen for "aggression of entering Japanese waters", "organized by the CCP and pretending to be fishermen" etc, instead of the Japanese navy that opens fire. Chinese and Russians have long learned that reasoning with these people is hogwash, however, the difference is that Russians can care less with their only hand on the table is resources and they have nukes to destroy the world several times over, while China is a businessman, even more so the one that is in the hot seat that he is making money off every gambler on the table.
Pretty sure that China has no claims on Okinawa or Tokyo.
Most likely the unlikely occurrence of violence would be limited to the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands.
They do not, but I wonder what that would lead to. China building a garrison in the Diaoyu Islands, and then that's it?
Hahaha military garrison on the Senkaku/Diaoyu? Have you seen that rock?
You would go through much pain to build a small house there, much less a military garrison.
No I think that many Chinese just want to plant a flag on that rock. Completely insignificant/worthless I know......
Yes, I agree it's a silly idea.
The Chinese media today (Southern Weekend magazine, I would post a link but Economist deletes non-English links) are talking about the US and Japan stationing Tomahawk missiles on the Diaoyus. I think it's a laughable idea, but a lot of people buy this stuff.
The Chinese regime may use the conflict to stay in power if it's legitimacy grows thin due to economic hardships.
I agree, but the point is that the Chinese regime (the CPC) would probably declare victory if they could plant a flag on that rock.
Actually they'll probably declare "victory" even if they aren't able to, which is by far the most likely scenario. (Because the Americans won't let them...)
The Senkaku islands are Japanese. If the Chinese try to make a problem of it, the Japan Coast Guard can sink the entire Chinese naval fleet within a day - two days tops.
The Chinese navy against the Japanese Coast Guard is like Saddam's Iraqi army against the USA. Quality defeats quantity every time.
hey buddy, are you from North Korea??? i ve visited here, some of them saying the similar thing, like "the American imperialism will beat by our great leader ",by a same tone...so funny...
Don't be so silly, Japanese can not afford a war as well as China. Maybe China will have higher stake in winning the war. We have more people, more military troops.Most importantly, we are united, 1.3billon people,young and old, poor and rich. The era of Japan has passed away long time ago. Tell your something, even my grandma support to launch a war, leave alone our youth. If your guys want to try, then try us!!! Think clearly how much both of us are willing to sacrifice.
agree with you .
You are so funny! The Diaoyu islands are Japanese????????? ridiculous.
What a childish conversation. Grow-up!
China can sink Japan into the bottom of the sea
In the old days, Japan was protected from invasions from mainland attackers because of the sea and wind. Now, hardly. Chinese missiles just take minutes to destroy any targets in the little Japan. The Japs just cant run and hide. They used technology to torture China in the past and China will repay them the same stuff plus bonus to their entire satisfaction. Its not exaggerating to say that Japan is so vulnerable if it stays out of the Uncle Sam's underpants.
Not really. Quantity defeated Germany.

Be very afraid of Basel III
- Published: 21 Nov 2012 at 00.00 | Viewed: 3,046 | Comments: 0
- Newspaper section: News
- Writer: Sutapa Amornvivat
Who's afraid of Basel III? I am, and you should be too, because starting January 2013, tougher banking rules known as "Basel III" are expected to take effect. But why should we care? After all, Thailand is not a member of the Basel Committee, and aren't these rules supposed to have an impact on just banking operations anyway?
The Thai regulator does not need to adopt Basel III, but it can choose to do so, as it did with Basel I and II. The Bank of Thailand adopted the previous Basel rules to upgrade bank risk management practices to match international standards. Therefore, in the short term, it is the banking sector that will suffer most from stricter supervision. And the markets know this; when the Indian banking regulator announced last May they will embrace the new rules, followed by the Chinese regulator just last week, their banking stocks immediately tumbled. But what about the long-term impact? It may come as a surprise, but the changes could affect the well-being of your business. The long-term impact of the new rules is two-fold, but first, let's start with what exactly Basel III is.
Similar to the first two iterations, this third installment requires banks to hold higher levels of quality capital such as retained earnings and common shares, in order to sustain unexpected losses in a market downturn. Banks running short of capital can boost it either by lowering dividend payout or by raising funds in the capital markets. But unlike in Basel I and II, banks are now asked to hold a capital cushion called a "buffer" as a safeguard against a repeat of a Lehman Brothers collapse. Beyond that, Basel III introduces new features called liquidity and leverage tests. These new tests are there to make sure banks are not stressing their balance sheets with loans and investments without having adequate deposits and capital, technically preventing banks from biting off more than they can chew.

Sony Offers a Closer Look at LittleBigPlanet 3's New PS4 Characters
37w ago
- Sony Blog Manager
Fred Dutton
offers a closer look today at LittleBigPlanet 3's new PS4 characters with details below, as follows:
One of the big surprises of E3 week was seeing LittleBigPlanet 3 unveiled live on stage during the PlayStation media briefing.
If you haven't got yourself up to speed already, Sackboy is all set to make his PS4 debut this November. Along with a raft of new features for Create mode, the major new additions to the series come in the form of three new playable characters: Swoop, Oddsock and Toggle.
"We've spent a long time working on the characters," explained XDev's Pete Smith backstage at LA. "Not just making sure that they look distinctive but also that they each offer unique gameplay. That, for me, is the big thing.
We want people to go 'Wow, they really change up the game, and I can create totally new experiences with them'.
"We were also keen to make sure that they were very iconic from a silhouette point of view, so that when you look at them together you can instantly tell them apart. Yet we still wanted them to feel like they were part of the Sackboy family, rather than just a watered down version of the same character."
Indeed, having played through hugely enjoyable E3 demo a few times over, I can confirm that...

THe Turnigy 2835 2700kv is "Stock" performance on an APC 6x4, and can run an APC 6x5.5 at under 40 amps. The Turnigy 2836 2350kv outrunner performs better on the same props with similar amp draw, but requires modding the stock mount or upgrading to the outrunner friendly www.customrcparts.com mount that many of us here use. If you want "all out speed", look through some of the last 10-20 pages or search for DoctorAudio's recent posts. He has squeezed a Lot of speed out of the higher kv Turnigy 2836 outrunners. But they draw high amps which would effect your ESC and Lipo requirements. |

What speed might one achieve with the above outrunner motor? I'm running the Turnigy 2835 2700kv motor on 3S 2200mah with APC 6x4 at the moment, would I yield a worthwhile increase in speed? Would like to get the fastest 3S motor available from the start rather than buying twice, even if it means an ~85A ESC (i read ~120mph is the reasonable limit for 3S1P?) Many thanks everyone (would i get more speed from the current 2700kv by switching to an APC 5.5x4.5?) |

To get the 2836 outrunner to fit, you will have to dremmel out 1-2 mm from the inside of the mount so the can can rotate freely. The plastic tabs that bolt the motor on will then be suporting all of the weight/stress from the motor, so they must be re-enforced. Some good ways to do that would be to use small washers on the "Outside" of the 4 mounting holes, or to use the "X" mount on the outside of the mount (which may require longer screws). The 2836 2350kv motor is just under 40 amps on the APC 6x5.5, and the plane scoots along quickly, unlimited vertical and good all around power, but it is definately <100mph. |

Sweet, this motor should show up on my door step this week. My 3700kv motor is drawing to much for my towerpro 40 amp esc and I already have the prop. Already looking forward to next weekend, this is going to be fun.... |

...and the winner is
OK, I made the (maiden) flight of my Stryker using the Turnigy 2836-3700 K/V brushless outrunner, trimmed-down Master Airscrew 5.5x4.5 (4.5x4.5) and a 5S A123 2,300 mAh pack. Let me just say this...AWESOME, no, let me repeat, AWESOME. My stupid key chain video camera can't do it justice to what I experienced.
I will see if I can get some level passes on video for doppler, but the thing climbed like a ROCKET. The 5S pack is about 13 ounces in weight and I am only turning a prop that is 4.5" in diameter, but it had essentially unlimited vertical at speed! I am a FunJet man myself, but I was grinning from ear to ear. The cool thing about this plane is how well it provides cooling airflow to my packs, how well it glides, even with heavy packs and how good the airflow is to the prop. I love my Stryker. The Turnigy 2836-3700 K/V is easily the most powerful motor I have personally experimented with, gram for gram of any motor and at its price. I have taken that motor to 1,000 Watts in my FunJet... Lastly, my Stryker is so much easier to hand launch than my FunJet is; I better not let my FunJet know about this:P |

When Malcolm X was assassinated at 39, his book nearly died with him. Today The Autobiography of Malcolm X — a favorite of President Obama and Justice Clarence Thomas alike — stands as a milestone in America's struggle with race. The Autobiography is also a Horatio Alger tale, following a man's journey from poverty to crime to militancy to wisdom.
Are humans innately violent? If you stripped the civilization out of us, just how bad would we be?
Julian Barnes has written novels, several collections of essays and stories, and a book titled Nothing to Be Frightened Of. Bob talks with Barnes about his book, which is part essay and part memoir, and is described as a meditation on religion, mortality and the fear of death. Barnes writes in the book that he sometimes finds life "an overrated way of spending time."
On August, 7, 1974, a young Frenchman named Philippe Petit pulled off the "artistic crime of the century." After eight months of planning, Petit, aided by a band of co-conspirators, rigged a wire between the tops of the Twin Towers and then spent nearly an hour dancing between the two. The cops were waiting for him when he finally came off the wire. Unsure of what crime he had committed, the NYPD charged him with "Man on Wire." That's the name of the Academy Award-winning documentary directed by James Marsh. The two men join Bob to discuss the film and the inspiration. Then Bob spends more time with Petit, who still practices the high wire three hours a day, six days a week. Petit is also a busker, juggler, pick-pocket artist and author. His latest book is titled Creativity: The Perfect Crime.
Tom Friedman analyzes the impact of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech to Congress.

Our favorite ex-con Louis Ferrante is back with a book just out in paperback titled Mob Rules: What the Mafia Can Teach the Legitimate Businessman. He shares nuggets of advice good for the boardroom and the backroom such as, "never bad mouth the boss" and "the importance of networking: it's good to go to a funeral as long as it's not yours." Ferrante served eight and a half years in prison for refusing to incriminate his associates in the Gambino family, since then he's gone straight and now lectures groups of at-risk teens across the country. Then, singer-songwriter Richard Buckner explains his penchant for moving and his love of touring. He also plays a few songs in our performance studio and talks about his music and career.

In This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed: How Guns Made the Civil Rights Movement Possible, award-winning civil rights scholar Charles Cobb Jr. describes how the Second Amendment became an integral part of survival and liberation for blacks in America -- from the troublesome years of Reconstruction through the civil rights movement. Then we go further back in the archives, for Bob's 2008 visit with Cobb to discuss an earlier book - On The Road to Freedom: A Guided Tour of the Civil Rights Trail. Cobb takes us to places where pioneers of the movement marched, gathered, spoke, taught, where they were arrested, and where they lost their lives.

Bob talks with public broadcasting's Tavis Smiley who takes a closer look at the final year of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life in his book titled Death of a King. It's a book Smiley calls his "personal love letter to Dr. King," but he also doesn't shy away from writing about King's flaws and mistakes. Then, Bob visits with Michael Eric Dyson to evaluate the fate of Black America over the past 40 years -- how it has advanced, where it hasn't, and how black leaders can best affect racial justice going forward. Dyson is the author of many books, including April 4, 1968: Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Death and How It Changed America.

Then, Bob talks with actress and writer Annabelle Gurwitch about her book of essays titled I See You Made an Effort: Compliments, Indignities, and Survival Stories from the Edge of 50. Every day, more than 10,000 Americans cross that threshold – and like Gurwitch – start receiving targeted mail from the AARP. This coming-of-middle-age story covers that and other topics like aging out of your wardrobe, options for retirement and navigating the beauty counter at the department store.

With the end of the Civil War and the passage of the 13th Amendment, 4 million former slaves embarked on new lives with the promise of freedom. But labor laws and practices that arose during the post-Emancipation era effectively created new forms of slavery in the South that persisted well into the 20th century. Bob talks with Sam Pollard director of a documentary based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Douglas A. Blackmon that explores this little-known history of forced labor. Both the book and the film are called Slavery by Another Name.
This week we bring you three American Icons, stories from our series on works of art that changed the way we think about America. In myth and song, John Henry was a railroad worker who raced the machine that was going to steal his job. He won the race, but it killed him. What does that say about the American work ethic? Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel Uncle Tom's Cabin spurred the abolitionist movement — but the title character is now a vicious slur used against African-Americans. How did that happen? And we find out why Miles Davis's "Kind of Blue" became the one jazz record that even non-jazz fans own.
More New Orleans music and black history as we conclude Mardi Gras week. We begin today with Roger Lewis, a founding member of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Lewis talks with Bob about his band's progression from revolutionary upstarts more than thirty years ago to becoming established -- though still inventive -- old masters. Lewis spoke with Bob in the green room of the famous club Tipitina's, in Uptown New Orleans.

Grace sentenced to jail in DUI case
Former Arizona Diamondbacks television analyst Mark Grace has been sentenced to four months in jail under a work-release program.
Plenty of athletes have committed epic career blunders. Check out the top sports star screwups.The 48-year-old former first baseman with the Diamondbacks and the Chicago Cubs pleaded guilty Thursday to felony endangerment and misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol.
Grace was arrested last August in Scottsdale, his second drunken driving arrest in 15 months, and could have faced more than three years in prison. He had pleaded not guilty in October to four felony counts of aggravated DUI and was scheduled to go on trial March 19.
The Diamondbacks fired him as their analyst after the August arrest but later invited him to participate in a fantasy camp.
A Maricopa County Superior Court spokesman says the jail sentence begins Feb. 10. Grace must also serve two years of probation.
