I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 days – interviewed at Mary Kay.
Interview DetailsI secured my interview through an outside recruiting agency and was told where to go, which HR rep to ask for upon arrival, and how long the process should take (they wanted it on a day when I already had a doctor appointment scheduled so I needed to be done by a certain time). When I arrived, I went to the "Human Resources Lobby" which was completely abandoned. I went to the main front desk and asked Security to let the HR rep know I was there. She never arrived. About 10 minutes after my interview was scheduled to begin, the actual managers came in to interview me. The interview itself lasted for the time I was told to expect, but then I was required to take multiple skills tests that I was not told about. The HR rep finally made an appearance to set these up for me, then quickly left me alone again without any means of contacting her should I have any problems. Which I did. The computer froze when I was about halfway into the first test (over an hour after I was scheduled to leave forcing me to cancel my doctor appointment at the last minute). I ended up having to finish the skills tests at home over the weekend and miss more work to make up the doctor appointment I had missed. The whole thing was ridiculous and thinking back on it, I'm questioning why I took the job.
Interview Questions- There weren't any difficult or unexpected questions but I was required to take time-consuming, intensive skills tests that I was not expecting, causing me to miss additional work/personal commitments. These should have been mentioned when I asked about the length of time needed for the interview so that I could plan accordingly. Answer Question

Judge OK's Noriega's extradition to France
Legal tug-of-war on his fate almost over
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- A federal judge in Miami cleared the way Friday for the United States to extradite Manuel Noriega to France upon his completion of a federal drug trafficking sentence, ending a tug-of-war over the former Panamanian dictator's fate.
No shield: U.S. Dist. Judge William Hoeveler rejected arguments from Noriega's lawyers that the proposed transfer would violate his rights as a prisoner of war under the Geneva Conventions.
"This Court never intended for the proclamation of Defendant as a POW to shield him from all future prosecutions for serious crimes,'' Hoeveler wrote.
Hoeveler, who presided over Noriega's original trial and declared him a prisoner of war, said the Geneva Conventions do not prohibit extradition.
"It would be absurd to suggest that a civilian facing the identical criminal charges, i.e., money laundering in connection with drug trafficking, would be subject to extradition when a POW would not," the ruling states.
Win for U.S.
Want him in France: The ruling is a win for government lawyers who backed Noriega's extradition to France, where he was convicted in absentia in 1999 on money laundering charges. Noriega's attorneys argued he should instead be returned to Panama.
Final hearing: A hearing to determine whether there is probable cause to support the extradition -- all but a formality in this case, lawyers say -- is set for Tuesday. Noriega, 72, who has been behind bars for nearly 18 years, is set to be released from a Miami prison Sept. 9.
Appeal possible
His attorney, Frank Rubino, said he would confer with "the general" about filing an emergency appeal.
"It's horribly disappointing," Rubino said.
French charges
Cocaine profits: French authorities allege Noriega deposited proceeds from his involvement in cocaine trafficking into French bank accounts in the late 1980s. The transactions total some 15 million French francs (about $3.15 million), according to court papers. He is also accused of using drug proceeds to purchase three apartments in France.
New trial: If Noriega's extradition is approved by the court and Bush administration officials, he will receive a new trial on the charges.
Panamanian charges
Killings: Panama also tried Noriega in absentia, convicting and sentencing him to two 20-year prison terms for ordering the assassination of two political opponents.
House arrest? However, recent changes to Panamanian law permit prisoners older than 70 to seek house arrest, raising questions about whether Noriega would spend any time behind bars if repatriated.
Attorneys' claim: Noriega's attorneys claimed government officials in Panama feared Noriega's return and secretly backed his transfer to France.
U.S. invasion
Captured: In 1989, the United States invaded Panama, forcing Noriega from power. He was captured and flown to Miami to face drug trafficking and money laundering charges. Three years later, a Miami federal jury convicted him of protecting U.S.-bound Colombian cocaine shipments that went through Panama in the 1980s.

Women's Health #1 – Bone Health
Click here to visit my Facebook page.
Childhood and teen years: bones grow long and wide. 40% or more of the body's bone mass is formed during adolescence. Ages 4 -8: 1000 mg daily. Ages 9 – 18: 1300 mg daily.
20 – 30 years old: peak bone mass is reached. Bones become stronger and denser as more calcium is deposited into the bone matrix. Recommendation: 1000 mg daily.
After 30 years old: bones slowly lose minerals. Consuming enough calcium and vitamin D can help you retain your bone density and lower the risk for osteoporosis later on. Recommendation: 1000 mg daily.
During pregnancy: hormone estrogen appears to protect bones, keeping them strong.
Menopause: Bone loss speeds up. If you achieve your peak bone mass as a younger adult, your risk for osteoporosis is reduced later in life.
Over 50 years old: calcium and vitamin D remain essential for building and maintaining healthy bones. Recommendation: 1200 mg daily.
Exercise Fact #1 – Carbohydrate
Carbohydrates are an athlete's best energy source.
Carbohydrates are stored in muscle (liver as well) as glycogen. The more muscle glycogen you can store, the longer the exercise lasts. In other words, eating adequate carbohydrates help maintain rigorous activity longer. However, glycogen stores are limited in muscle. When you feel extremely tired during exercise (especially higher-intensity and immediate physical activities), that's when you are out of glycogen.
To load up your muscle for endurance sports, combine training, rest, and eating adequate carbohydrates such as whole wheat bread, cereals, beans, and starchy vegetables.
Caution about excess carbohydrates: carbohydrates are used as energy and stored in muscle and liver. After that, they are stored as body fat. 5-7 grams of carbohydrates per kg of your body weight daily is recommended for general training. Endurance athletes need 6-10 g per kg body weight daily.
8 Facts about Broccoli
1. Like other fruits and vegetables, broccoli continues to respire after it's been picked, but it does so at a very fast rate.
2. The respiration process (breathing) can destroy broccoli's most beneficial nutrients…. For example, In 10 days after harvest, 80% of its glucosinolates (anticancer compounds), 75% of flavonoids (phytonutrients), and 50% of vitamin C are lost.
3. Choose broccoli with dark green crowns and tightly closed buds. The stem should be firm and bright green. The cut end of the stem should be moist and smooth, not dry or pocked with holes.
4. Chill broccoli immediately and eat it that day or the next once you purchase it.
5. Put it in a tightly sealed bag and store it in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator.
6. Raw broccoli has 20 times more of a beneficial compound called sulforaphane (anticancer) than cooked broccoli.
7. Best way to cook broccoli is to steam it for no more than 4 minutes. Another good way is to sauté it in oil.
8. Nuking (microwaving) broccoli can destroy 50% its nutrients in 2 minutes.

Reference: Eating on the Wild Side – Jo Robinson
Eggplants are low in calories and cholesterol free. They contain a little bit of various nutrients such as fiber, potassium, and few vitamins and minerals. They are also rich in phytonutrients (pigments in the skin) such as "nasunin." In addition to the benefit of being an antioxidant, nasunin is believed to have the ability of protecting lipids in the brain.
NutriAnalysis on Facebook
In addition to the website, I also started a Facebook page to publish nutrition-related information and my "food artwork." :D I will try my best to post at least once a week, most likely during weekends, and my goal for this page is to reach 100 "Likes" by the end of 2014. Hope you like it and find the information useful.
Here's my latest post and my creation/drawing:
Manzano bananas are also known as apple bananas because they have an undertone of apple flavor. The average manzanos are about 4 inches (10 cm) long. The have a similar nutrient profile as regular bananas – provide a source for fiber, potassium, and other vitamins and minerals. In addition, they may be sweeter and richer in vitamin C and carotenoids.

5 Dumbest Things on Wall Street: June 26
Boeing, Boeing, Gone
Somebody wake us when the Boeing (BA - Get Report) Dreamliner takes off.
Boeing pushed back the initial test flight of its long-awaited 787 Dreamliner for the fifth time on Tuesday, citing a need to reinforce part of the aircraft. The flight was originally scheduled for late 2007, but production problems, a labor strike, and, if you ask us, really bad karma have caused repeated delays.
Boeing shares sank over 6% on the latest postponement, dragging down Dreamliner suppliers Spirit Aerosystems Holdings (SPR), Goodrich (GR) and Rockwell Collins (COL) along with it.
Boeing said a revised schedule for the flight, as well as first deliveries to customers, will not be announced for several weeks. Our advice? Don't hold your breath waiting for this jumbo jetliner turned running joke. Customers had expected to get the first of the new jets in the first quarter of 2010, almost two years behind the original schedule. All Nippon Airways was at the head of the line back in 2004, ordering 50 Dreamliners that have yet to be delivered. And at this point it would be hard to blame them, or any other Boeing customer for cutting bait. So far this year, Boeing has seen a net 45 cancellations for the 787. (This number doesn't include Qantas, which late Thursday said it has canceled orders for 15 Boeing 787 Dreamliners and delayed the delivery of another 15). In early June, Boeing claimed it had more than 50 customers who have placed orders for more than 850 of the airplanes. Scott Carson, president and chief executive of Boeing's commercial airplane division, said the reinforcement problem has been solved, and that such modifications were not uncommon in the development of new airplanes. Then again, Carson also told us back in December 2007 that there will be no further delays in Dreamliner development. He broke that promise a month later in January 2008 when Boeing announced a three-month delay in the project. When those three months expired in April 2008, the company asked for six more months. And so on. And so on. If this keeps up, by the time Boeing finishes this plane we won't need Dreamliners anymore. Scotty will be able to beam us up instead. Dumb-o-meter score: 95 -- We've long since hit the snooze button on the Dreamliner.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

text: Suspect in Etan Patz case arraigned on murder chargeFrom Susan Candiotti, CNNUpdated 7:07 AM ET, Sat May 26, 2012Searching for Etan Patz 6 photosSearching for Etan Patz – "Inside Edition" reveals this photo of Pedro Hernandez, the suspect who reportedly confessed to killing Etan Patz 33 years ago.Hide Caption 1 of 6Searching for Etan Patz 6 photosSearching for Etan Patz – The 1979 disappearance of 6-year-old Etan helped trigger a national movement focusing on missing children. Here is the New York Police Department's original poster for Etan, who went missing May 25, 1979, a block from his SoHo home. He was walking to the school bus stop by himself for the first time when he disappeared.Hide Caption 2 of 6Searching for Etan Patz 6 photosSearching for Etan Patz – After more than 30 years, a break in the case appeared to develop in April 2012 when police closed off two blocks in New York's SoHo neighborhood and searched a basement in the area for clues. But the search came up empty.Hide Caption 3 of 6Searching for Etan Patz 6 photosSearching for Etan Patz – On April 20, 2012, New York police and FBI agents removed concrete slabs from a basement in search of clues in the 33-year-old disappearance of Etan. The basement is about a half-block from where the boy's family still lives.Hide Caption 4 of 6Searching for Etan Patz 6 photosSearching for Etan Patz – A note from Stan Patz, Etan's father, pleads for privacy from the media during renewed interest in the 33-year-old case in April 2012. The boy's parents have not commented on the new developments in the case.Hide Caption 5 of 6Searching for Etan Patz 6 photosSearching for Etan Patz – Etan was officially declared dead in 2001. His disappearance was the first of several high-profile cases that catapulted concern about missing children to the forefront of national consciousness.Hide Caption 6 of 6Story highlights Pedro Hernandez is quiet and shows no apparent emotion during his arraignment His lawyer cites Hernandez's "long psychiatric history" Authorities believe Hernandez killed Etan Patz, a New York boy who went missing 33 years agoInvestigators have not found forensic evidence linking him to the case, official saysPedro Hernandez was arraigned early Friday evening on a second-degree murder charge tied to the case of Etan Patz, the New York boy whose disappearance 33 years to the day spurred nationwide attention about missing children.The suspect appeared about 6:25 p.m. Friday via video feed from Manhattan's Bellevue Hospital, where he is being held for evaluation and is on suicide watch, according to a law enforcement source. Judge Matthew Sciarrino presided over the proceedings from a New York courtroom, where people watched the arraignment.Sciarrino denied bail for Hernandez after defense attorney Harvey Fishbein said the suspect has a "long psychiatric history" including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and hallucinations. The lawyer asked that Hernandez undergo a full psychiatric evaluation, a request the judge granted.Dressed in an orange jumpsuit and sitting at a brown table, Hernandez did not speak and showed no evident emotion during the proceedings.The next major step in the legal process would be for a grand jury to hear prosecutors' evidence against Hernandez for a potential indictment, after the defense waived its right to an expedited indictment on Friday. It is not clear when this might happen. Earlier Friday, Hernandez was sent to the hospital "because he's on medications, and we prefer to administer those in a hospital setting," said police spokesman Paul Browne, who declined to elaborate on the medications."When Hernandez arrived at the hospital, he began making statements that he wanted to die, and a psychiatric evaluation was ordered, " added the law enforcement source.The former Manhattan stock clerk who lived in Etan's neighborhood when the boy vanished was arrested the previous day by police following up on a tip. Neighbors say suspect in Patz killing lived a quiet life with his familyHernandez, who was 19 in 1979, told police he lured Etan to a store with the promise of a soda, choked him and placed his body in the trash about a block and a half away, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said. The boy was killed in the basement of a Manhattan building, according to the charging document filed late Friday afternoon by the Manhattan district attorney's office.Just WatchedSuspect says he strangled Etan PatzreplayMore Videos ...Suspect says he strangled Etan Patz 02:01PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedPatz suspect: 'I did something bad'replayMore Videos ...Patz suspect: 'I did something bad' 01:30PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedThe day Etan Patz disappeared in '79replayMore Videos ...The day Etan Patz disappeared in '79 02:01PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedNew clues in Etan Patz mysteryreplayMore Videos ...New clues in Etan Patz mystery 04:08PLAY VIDEO"Detectives believe in the credibility of the statement," Kelly said, although investigators had not uncovered any forensic evidence linking Hernandez to the boy's disappearance.Kelly said it is unlikely that Etan's remains would be found.Patz investigation a 33-year-long roller coaster ride"He did the right thing, you know, to confess," Hernandez's brother-in-law Jose Lopez told CNN affiliate KYW. "Get this thing over with for the people out there and the family over here."But Lisa Cohen, whose 2009 book, "After Etan," is widely considered the definitive account of the case, said she's not convinced that Hernandez killed the boy."No, I'm not, but that's not necessarily because he didn't do it," she said. "That's just because this has just happened. I'd never heard his name before."Hernandez has no criminal record and is the father of a teenage girl, Kelly said.Etan, 6, went missing on May 25, 1979, a block from his home in Manhattan. He was walking to school alone for the first time when he vanished.His disappearance helped spawn a national movement to raise awareness of missing children, including the then-novel approach of putting an image of the child's face on thousands of milk cartons. Missing child case 'awakened America'In the years after Etan's disappearance, Hernandez told a family member and others that he had "done a bad thing" and killed a child in New York, police said.While the motive remained unclear, Kelly described it as a crime of opportunity and said Hernandez was remorseful."The detectives thought it was a feeling of relief on his part," he said. Other employees of the store were interviewed after Etan disappeared, but not Hernandez, police said."I can't tell you why," Kelly said.The police investigation continues, as does the FBI's, the agency said in a statement Thursday night."The FBI's investigation into the disappearance of Etan Patz remains active and ongoing. We remain determined to solve this case," FBI Assistant Director Janice K. Fedarcyk said in the statement.Thursday's arrest came nearly a month after investigators searched the former basement workshop of carpenter Othniel Miller, who had given Etan a dollar the day before the boy's disappearance for helping him around the shop. Etan had said before he disappeared that he planned to use the dollar to buy a soda.The search produced no apparent clues.Just WatchedWhat DNA could show in Etan Patz casereplayMore Videos ...What DNA could show in Etan Patz case 02:57PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedLawyer: Miller did not kill Etan PatzreplayMore Videos ...Lawyer: Miller did not kill Etan Patz 00:54PLAY VIDEO"Mr. Miller is relieved by these developments, as he was not involved in any way with Etan Patz's disappearance," said Miller's attorney, Michael C. Farkas. "At the same time, Mr. Miller is very pleased that those responsible for this heinous crime may be brought to justice, and the Patz family may finally have the closure they deserve."A separate law enforcement source said Thursday that Hernandez's claims were being treated with "a healthy dose of skepticism."The tipster whose information led to Hernandez's arrest contacted authorities months ago after news coverage of their renewed search. That contact, at least in part, prompted investigators to question Hernandez. A spokeswoman for the Manhattan district attorney's office, which reopened the case in 2010, declined to comment on the recent development.Etan was officially declared dead in 2001 as part of a lawsuit filed by his family against Jose Antonio Ramos, a drifter and convicted child molester acquainted with Etan's baby sitter.A judge found Ramos responsible for the boy's death and ordered him to pay the family $2 million, money the Patz family has never received.Although Ramos was considered a key focus of the investigation for years, he has never been charged in the case.

So you want to teach in Munich? Good choice. Capital city of Bavaria, and third largest city in Germany, Munich has a whole lot to offer: culture, soccer, nightlife, architecture and - who can forget? - Oktoberfest.
Now is also a good time to come and offer your English skills to the city. Whilst the English language has always been a strong part of the German curriculum, it's becoming more prevalent than ever, particularly in business-oriented cities such as Munich. One of Germany's top universities, Munich Technical University, is even planning to have all of its Master's Courses taught entirely in English by 2020.
Munich is a prosperous, successful city, and Germany a fascinating country to experience. If you want to experience Bavarian life to the full, you couldn't pick a better place to work.
Most English teachers work on a freelance basis through a private language school (particularly important for US citizens, as the school needs to sponsor your visa). Pay is typically lower at these schools, but hours can be more consistent. Inlingua and Berlitz are two well-known examples, although there are others. The Volkshochschule (Adult Education Centre) is another option; you can also gain your CELTA certificate or learn German here.
Whilst it is possible to gain employment at these schools outside of Germany, it is much easier to find a job when you are physically in Munich. Contact the schools directly, rather than through general recruitment websites. If you plan to teach at a private school, it's best to make sure you have sufficient back-up funds, as Munich is an expensive city.
Munich is an extremely business-oriented city, and Business English is therefore in much demand by companies and individuals. You can command a much higher wage if you decide to opt for private lessons; however, it is much more difficult to obtain this kind of work immediately. Word of mouth is also important in this regard. It's best to set yourself up in the city first, before seeking opportunities online, through friends, universities or other contacts. MELTA (Munich English Language Teachers Assocation) is also a useful group to join. For a fee of 35 euro, or 15 euro for students, you can join the community, and gain a whole wealth of friends, teaching contacts and knowledge.
There are numerous bilingual preschools in Munich (in Germany, they start studying English early!). So, if you'd rather work with children than with adults, you have several school choices. There are several bonuses to this too: the work is consistent, you'll get your visa sorted, and some positions provide holidays and other benefits.
Seeing as peak hiring season is September and January, it is recommended to arrive at least a month before to obtain a position. While it is feasible to find schools online, it is important to be present in the city for the job search to be hired.
In order to obtain a visa in Germany as a non-EU resident, you must apply prior to entering the country. If you wish to stay no more than 90 days, you can apply for the Schengen visa. If you plan to teach for longer than a few months, you will need to apply for a residence permit, which have varying timelines. Once your visa or permit is expired, you will have to return to your country of origin prior to filing for another visa.
As competition grows in the English teaching field, a TEFL certificate is now becoming a pre-requisite. Schools also prefer to hire candidates with a degree. Experience is not always necessary, although is becoming more and more of a requirement.
It's also useful to know that German CVs come with a photograph, so get your most professional, smiling face at the ready. German language skills aren't usually necessary for English teaching roles; in fact, many companies prefer that you don't use German at all, as it's more beneficial for students to study only in English. However, for your personal life, of course it's helpful to have some basic knowledge.
Be prepared, potential Munich teachers - you are about to enter the most expensive city in Germany. Sorry about that. As mentioned above, your salary could vary widely depending on your choice of school, so research as much as possible, and bring some back-up money.
Your main expense will be, of course, accommodation. It is very, very unlikely that a school will provide you with accommodation, although private schools may assist you. It's best to search online, and recruit the help of friends and colleagues if possible. You are looking at about 500 euro a month to rent a room, and likely double to rent an apartment. Bear in mind that when an apartment says "unfurnished" on an ad, it means unfurnished: there will be literally nothing in it, including kitchen fittings, bed - the lot!
Health insurance is mandatory, and varies widely in cost depending on your circumstances. Food can be bought cheaply, and is about the same price on average as in the UK. You can live a fairly good life on this salary if you budget where you can, but it may well have to be a little more "bohemian" than in other German cities. It's not a place to save money - keep that in mind!
Generally, classrooms in Germany are relatively formal and rule-based. Most teachers don't generally interact with students outside of class, though foreign English teachers sometimes do fraternize with students. Similar to the US, a handshake is appropriate when greeting students. As a teacher, business casual dress code is expected.
Munich is expensive, yes, but it's also a beautiful and fascinating place. It's also a stone's throw away from beautiful scenery and other interesting travel points, including Neuschwanstein Castle. Germany is, overall, a wonderful and interesting place to experience working abroad. It's also one of the easier and, unsurprisingly, more efficient places in Europe to move to - particularly for US citizens, for whom visa issues can be extremely difficult in other European countries.
If you wish to try your hand at Munich life, take your time to research, save up more money than you'd planned, and try and search for work ready for the September and January peak hire times. And most importantly, once you're there, have fun! It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and you should be proud to have followed your dreams.
And if you plan to rent an unfurnished apartment, bring everything and the kitchen sink.

Mountain Bike Review
13 for 2013: This Year's Best New Mountain Bikes
Giant Trance X 29 0
10 / 13
Why It's Cool: It comes with a great suspension system at a reasonable price
Giant's flagship bike, the Trance X, gets a 29er makeover for 2013. While the wheels are new, the model relies on the same proven dual-link Maestro suspension as its predecessor. The design delivers a smooth and predictable ride that feels supple on small bumps, but also soaks up larger hits without flinching. Despite the 5 inches of travel, the $4,250 Trance X climbs remarkably well, offering a smooth pedaling platform that still delivers rear-wheel traction when needed. Giant claims the aluminum frame weighs 5.9 pounds with shock, which helps explain the Trance's uphill prowess. While Giant has traditionally favored long chainstays because they offer more stability, engineers found a happy medium on this bike—the lower stays measure 17.8 inches—that creates a steady but still snappy ride. Not every long-travel 29er offers balanced handling, but this one gets it right.

Application DetailsI applied through a recruiter – interviewed at VMware.
Interview DetailsI had a very bad experience with VMWare recruiters, twice...and both the times it was the same unpleasant experience. They contacted me to interview for a position and I gave them few slots for tech screens. Then they told me that they are not hiring any more and the email was full of spelling errors. The whole experience seemed very unprofessional.
No OfferNegative Experience - Interview Details
Was contacted by VMware recruiter regarding a hiring event. First step was a phone conversation with a recruiter then a online test. The test was a programming assignment done online within a time limit of 90 mins. The code takes input and your code outputs data. It was challenging but I passed it. Then onsite where I had 4, 1hr interviews. Typical programming questions. All interviewers were very friendly and professional.
Interview Questions- Was not prepared for threading question. Answer Question
No OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview - Interview Details
Contacted by the recruiter, and talked for about one hour. The recruiter then arranged a technical phone screen with the hiring manager. The technical screening consists of some c++/ood questions and some coding questions. We use the online shared session for the coding. Couple daysa after the screening I was informed that offer has went out to other candidates
Interview Questions- I was asked some technical questions on the first phone call by the recruiter, which I didn't expect. Answer Question
No Offer - Application Details
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days – interviewed at VMware in December 2011.
Interview DetailsCRAZY company.
Both my phone interview and team interview went well and they informed my about the "next step" which will be a second round interview. Next, after 3 weeks later, I just got a short email stating that the team has re-accessed that position and not willing to move forward with me!!!
My question then why did you talk about "next step" ?
It is not that I am out of job or begging a job from them - but some professional communication is rare there.
It is a bureaucratic company who got some cash in their hands - but lacks of decent, bare minimum professionalism.Interview Questions- Given a series of strings, find the biggest common prefix. View Answers (3)

Foreign Currency Borrowings and Investments of Firms: Evidence from East Asian CountriesRashid AmeerIndependent June 21, 2011 Abstract: In this paper, we examine the trend in the denomination of foreign currency borrowing and investments for a sample of listed firms over the period of 1995-2005. This time periods includes financial liberalization period as well as the Asian financial crisis. The unique feature of our study is that, we are the first to investigate the denomination of foreign borrowings and investments using firm-level data. We argue that the currency denomination decision is relevant for at least two reasons. First, firms may structure their financial obligations to match the currency composition of the expected cash inflows. In this way, the firms achieve a natural hedge and minimize the currency risk exposure. Second, firms may reduce their cost of capital by issuing debt in those currencies that offer the lowest effective borrowing costs. Our findings show that firm level borrowings are denominated in US$ and Japanese Yen, whereas firm level investments are primarily denominated in US$. Trend in the US$ denominated borrowings and investments remained higher prior to the Asian financial crisis. On the other hand, firm level investments have remained steady in US$. Firm specific factors such as size, past profitability, foreign sales, market power, and legal origin are important determinants of the foreign currency borrowings.

2012 Pirelli Calendar by Mario Sorrenti [Pictures]
See the Full 2012 Pirelli Calendar
Mario Sorrenti shot the upcoming Pirelli 2012 with 12 models and actresses — all of which he's worked with before — in Corsica. Among the featured? Isabeli Fontana, Natasha Poly, Saskia de Brauw, Lara Stone, Joan Smalls, Guinevere van Seenus, Malgosia Bela, Edita Vilkevicute, Kate Moss, Milla Jovovich, Margareth Made, and Rinko Kikuchi.
Of the calendar's look, Sorrenti explained: "You know, originally I thought I was going to do very sexy pictures, and when we got there I realized that I didn't want the pictures to be sexy at all . . . I didn't want them to be posing and arching and like sticking their boobs in my face or anything like that."
Thus, he added: "We tried to keep it very simple, there were times where we did just photographs with the model and myself and there was no one around. I think that was the moment when I was able to capture some of the most beautiful photographs . . . You kind of lose yourself and you go with the flow of the moment and just let things happen."
Of including former girlfriend Moss, Sorrenti said: "Kate, I've known for 20 years. I can't do this without her." And Stone said of participating: "In the end you get that one shot, that magical decisive moment. It's not sexy in-your-face, it's more innocent sexy. Don't know why they hired me!" However, she added of the calendar: "I'd like to do it every year till I'm 75."

Editing on the go
Keep an image editor on your USB drive with this basic program.
SunlitGreen PhotoEdit Portable is a lightweight program that allows simple corrections and changes to digital images. The program won't replace more full-featured software like Photoshop, but it's a great choice for putting the finishing touches on your images.
The program's interface is plain and intuitive, with menus and a toolbar across the top and a large area for viewing the image you're working on. Too many image editing programs we've seen have had fancy-looking interfaces at the expense of usability, and we're happy to say that SunlitGreen PhotoEdit doesn't fall into this trap; all of its features are easy to find and use. The program offers all the typical editing tools, letting you adjust levels, contrast, curves, brightness, color balance, and saturation. You can also flip, rotate, crop, and resize images. SunlitGreen PhotoEdit comes with a built-in Help file, but unfortunately none of its pages would load. Anyone who's used any kind of photo editor before should have no problem figuring it out, but less experienced users will likely want to seek out some additional information on basic image manipulation. Overall, SunlitGreen PhotoEdit doesn't really bring anything new to the table, but it will definitely meet the needs of users looking for a basic, portable program for image editing. At 1.41MB, it's a perfect choice to keep on your USB drive for on-the-go image changes and corrections.
SunlitGreen PhotoEdit comes as a ZIP file and is accessible after extraction with no need to install. We recommend this program to all users.

He managed to hold serve just once in the entire match but an unfazed V M Ranjeet said he played his best game in what turned out to be a nightmarish Davis Cup debut against South Korea's Min Hyeok Cho here on Friday.
The 27-year-old Chennai-lad lost 1—6, 0—6, 1—6 in just 83 minutes in the Asia/Oceania Group I tie. Ranjeet found himself on the big stage after stars of Indian tennis revolted and refused to budge even for national duty due to their differences with the AITA.
Not much was expected from him and he did not really surprise either but insisted that he did all that he could.
"I think I have given my best. I was nervous in the beginning but then I thought I settled down and I was playing my game," said Ranjeet when asked about the match.
"He (Cho) was just too good. He had a great game.
Everything he tried was coming off well. You could see that he got confident as the match progressed and was playing in the groove," he added in lavish praise of his clearly superior rival.
It was a forgettable outing by all imaginable standards but Ranjeet felt it has made him a better player.
"I think I can come back better prepared for the reverse singles," said the player.
Reflecting on his performance, Ranjeet said he gave everything that he had but was done in by a superior opponent.
"I tried to mix things up in the second and third set which you need to do on this kind of surface. But he was returning everything," said the rookie who could only watch in exasperation as Cho retrieved and returned everything that the Indian threw at him.

(KMOV.com) - The Environmental Protection Agency is having trouble finding evidence the land around the West Lake Landfill in Bridgeton is safe.
That revelation was in a letter residents received from the Army Corps of Engineers after asking for the proof of the EPA's claims over testing done in 1995. The EPA had previously said that some areas around the landfill are safe.
Dawn Chapman, who has led a cause over the safety of the landfill, says the letter states there is no data for the 231 testing sites, mostly along the hauling routes that radioactive waste was transported.
"It's very frustrating and it's kind of dangerous," Chapman said.
Ed Smith with the Missouri Coalition for the Environment says it's now time for the federal government to start new testing around the landfill.

With the full 2014-15 Fantasy Basketball Rankings now complete, let's take a look at the top 100. After a week filled with triumphs, successful trades going through, and possibly the biggest news of the offseason – Jared Dudley getting moved. I couldn't finish the top 100 without knowing where Dudley would be! The ramifications would be catastrophic! So past 75 you're starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel. The dregs of the cask. Which means it's sleeper land! Bring out the sleeper patrol! And a lot of times if you hit on just one of these and avoid injuries in your early rounds, you're set for a playoff run. Here's my top 100 for the 2014-15 Fantasy Basketball Season (based on 9-cat H2H):
Please, blog, may I have some more?Jodie Meeks
Heading into the upcoming Fantasy Basketball Season, Razzball will be interviewing local NBA beat writers for actual, real-life basketball knowledge to shed some light on our measly fantasy basketball knowledge. Keep your eye out for interviews from [hopefully!] every NBA team through the summer. This installment comes courtesy of Joe Dexter from leading Detroit Pistons blog Piston Powered (interview held on Aug. 13):
Please, blog, may I have some more?As we head into August, now is a perfect time to take a look back at the free agency period for the upcoming 2014-15 NBA season.
While there is one big name yet to sign (Eric Bledsoe), a few less-intriguing options still on the market (Michael Beasley, Andray Blatche, Kent Bazemore, Jordan Crawford), and another who's unsure whether he'll play or retire (Ray Allen), most of the fantasy basketball world knows where guys will be playing this season. Of course, that still doesn't include the possibility of Kevin Love finding a new home by the end of the summer, but that could be the subject of an entirely different article.
There is little doubt in anyone's mind that Love will land in Cleveland, which will make them a huge force in the Eastern Conference — and in the entire NBA.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Free agency is here! It has been a bit mum since the FA pool is awaiting that LeBron James cannonball, leaving us without a good snapshot of how the league will look in 2014-15. But we've got Summer League getting into gear and a couple interesting FA moves.
With the The Decision 2.0 on hold, even P.J. Hairston is antsy and trying to get some ball in. According to reports, he got into a fight with a high school senior, literally at the YMCA closest to the one where I play pickup (Chapel Hill). While some guys are really good at Chapel Hill, there aren't any NBA players actin' a fool and calling three in the key! This is likely a non-story, but it just makes you shake your head. Almost as much as my former rookie nookie Archie Goodwin getting arrested at an Arkansas skating rink. Sure, you can tweet "Don't assume if you don't know the whole story…" to which I say, "the hell you gonna get into that kinda situation at a skating rink for!" Man, that pine gonna stay warm this year, Archie! Here's some other [actually useful for fantasy] news and notes of free agent signings and early Summer League performances:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hmmmm, ok, who did you pick in you office "who scores 40 points tonight" pool? I bet the Vegas odds were… a million to one on Nick Young. "So you're saying there's a chance!" Too bad Nick Young sucks in fantasy. You actually have to go back 15 games to find him putting up a 5 in any counting stat other than treys. The ThrAGNOF fairy strikes again! Dude went a preposterous 15-26 (6-13 3PTM 4-5 FT) 40/4/1/2/0 and only had one turnover last night. The Blazers should be ashamed. I'm pretty sure this game never actually happened, and it was some sort of elaborate April Fool's joke. Swaggy P shockingly led the Lakers in minutes off the bench, and with his shoot first, ask questions later attitude, Mike D'Anotni's rape stache kept curling upwards in facial hair glee. By the end of the game (and yes, another Lakers loss), D'Anotni's mustache looked like Rollie Fingers. Here's what else I saw last night in fantasy basketball action:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last night might have been an utter low for the New York Knickerbockers. Haha, yup they get a full name scolding like your mom used to do. Got shellacked by the Lakers by 31, in another horrific TNT Overtime fail. It's funny that the Lakers were involved in another redonkulous blowout this month: One because the first was also on TNT OT when the Clippers beat them by, I dunno a million (?), and second because I had the following remarks on Xavier Henry, whom I call Wheels, three-ish week ago after that Clips blowout: "I dunno, I just have a weird feeling he is going to be fantasy-relevant even in shallower leagues in a few weeks because D'Antoni likes him. And why not give him minutes again on this team?" And that's me quoting me! It's been a little up-and-down, and Wheels is a bit of a ThrANOF, but 8-11 (3-4 3PTM 3-5 FT) 22/3/0/2/1 last night. Only 23 minutes (and oddly enough 23:20 exactly in the past two games), but mid-20 minutes seems about right the rest of the way. He can easily score mid-teens, get a couple swipes, and nab a trey for you. Jodie Meeks-lite, if you will. I think even in 12-teamers he's worth a look right now for the remainder of the week with three games left on the slate that all are pretty saucy (@MIL, @MIN, PHX). And another 4-gamer next week with good matchups. I just picked him up myself as I hope to slip by the Slippery Squirrels in my RCL playoffs. Need more points and only up one in steals. Go JB HUMAN! Here's what else I saw last night in NBA action:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Perhaps the funniest catch phrase I made up with my buddies while watching the NBA through college -"Wahhhhhh I'm Jarrett Jack!" – can be used in so many instances. It's like Brian Dennehy's speech about how versatile the F-Bomb is when he played Bobby Knight in an ESPN movie. Whomever greenlit that idea, airing a movie with constant F-Bombs on ESPN2, is probably fired. He's like, "Don't fire me! Wahhhhhhhhh! Wahhhhhhhhhhh, I'm Jarrett Jack!" I use this phrase because every time I seem to watch him, he looks so so sad. And just look at the cover screen grab for the Yahoo recap from the game last night! So after Kyrie Irving flexed his guns too hard, Jack had three starts of very uninspiring ball. Mike Brown sat him down and said he needed more from him. The veteran responded, "Wahhhhhhhhh I'm Jarrett Jack!" Then last night rolled around with the Knicks rolling out Raymond Felton to play defense. Seriously, it's like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with the blueberry chick. The only difference is Felton actually ate the meals and didn't chew the LSD-laced gum! After a minute or two, Felton was winded, and went "Wahhhhhhhh, I have to guard Jarrett Jack!" Jack lit up the terrible Knicks D for 31/5/10 with a trey and a side of whoopass. Finally kicking it into gear as the starter, Jack has a four-gamer cooking up for week two of the playoffs, with my eye eagerly on Wednesday at the awful Pistons. It doesn't really matter who he's playing, pretty much a must own. Of course, in all my leagues where I'm still alive, he was already snatched up. "Wahhhhhhhhh, I'm Jarrett Jack!" Here's what else I caught over the weekend in NBA action:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Wait, what?! Kobe Bryant is back?! I mean, the Lakers beat the Thunder, and someone dropped 42 for purple and gold… I can think of no other scenario. But as the verse goes, "Blessed are the Meeks!" Dropping 42 on OKC, Jodie Meeks hit a career-high with his typical Meeks game of treys and steals. "He was hittin' em from downtown like a mad scientist!" I dunno, I was trying to come up with a good segway into Cosmos from last night, but got nothing. "Went all deGrasse Tyson on the Thundah!" "Gettin' all cosmic on dem mfers!" The Lakers beating OKC definitely broke Vegas' space time continuum. Plus winning with 36 boards to 59? Crazy town. We've liked Meeks a lot over here in Razzball Nation, and somehow he's still at only 58% owned in Yahoo. I demand an Inquisition on this matter! Even though he's close to a ThrAGNOF, the 1.3 Stls a game, fairly high-volume 84% FT shooting, and just overall upside on such a crappy team make him an obvious must own. Here's what else I saw over the weekend in fantasy action:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Oh man. Am I sorry if anyone had to watch Battle: Los Angeles last night. I hated that movie and actually would rather have watched that again than the atrocity in Staples. Reggie Miller was having so much fun dogging that game. I was saying that it was like watching an All-Star game at the office, then either Miller or Kerr then said the same thing! Followed by, "well, except all the All-Stars are on one team!" Lakers burn! El Burro, I hope you're around, because I'd love a rant from this game from a true Lakers fan. Sure there have been worse NBA blowouts, but man, that was straight up Cornell going on the road to Wichita State. Even that would be a lot better to watch! I'm not taking much to heart fantasy-wise in the 48-point romp of blue/red over yellow/purple, but my main takeaway was that Kendall Marshall still got a 7/4/7 line in 24 minutes and Jordan Farmar was awful in his 21 minutes. I'm a big Farmar hater, and think Marshall is actually a little underrated right now. Marshall as we all know was playing well in big minutes earlier in the year, and I think can get back to the 30ish range. And even if he falls short of that, the dimebags will afloweth like a Denver dispensary. Cash cow business for the Girl Scout cookie industry as well! Probably should've had a few Girl Scouts paroling the Staples Center last night. "Eat your pities away, Lakers fans!" "A peanut butter delight won't disappoint you at all!" Here's what else I saw last night in fantasy hoops:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Probably because he's, well, Elton Brand, I haven't paid much attention to him. It's like telling me, "Hey JB, Robert Parrish is on the wire, what'da think?!" Brand is getting tons of run lately with Gustavo Ayon and Pero Antic still hurt decimating the Hawks 5s (and Paul Millsap out as well), to the tune of 40+ minutes the past two games and 30+ in 4 of 5. And grandpa Elton topped off his big run with a rainbow line last night, 7/13/3/2/2 in 42 minutes. That's like an Andrew Bogut line! Had a comment last night asking if Brand is a flash in the pan. More like flash in the bedpan! Yeah, I don't see any sustainability here with none of the aforementioned hurt guys really out that long. But hey, maybe a one-game stream? The Hawks are going at Boston tonight who lack any sort of consistency up front as well and Brand could get ya another multi-cat gem. Here's what else I saw last night in fantasy hoops:
Please, blog, may I have some more?

As a business man he is almost legendary, as a philanthropist he has done great work and perhaps he does not feel any need to advertise his religious views. It does seem likely that he is an atheist, if these words from Roger Lowenstein are anything to go by: "He did not subscribe to his family's religion. Even at a young age [Buffet] was too mathematical, too logical, to make the leap of faith. He adopted his father's ethical underpinnings, but not his belief in an unseen divinity."
