|Blog Posts
Yo Momma Runs - Lisa is just plain awesome. Saucy in the best kind of way, sarcastic and hilarious. Also, she runs marathons and ultras while balancing life as mama to 4 kiddos. I'm kind of addicted to her blog. If you're not already convinced to check it out, last month she did the Harlem Shake at the start line of a trail ultra marathon (the video is on her blog). That's insanely cool in my books :)
C'est La Vie - Julia at C'est La Vie is one of the biggest inspirations and I just love reading her random and always thought-provoking posts. She's a fast and talented runner, a doctor (!!), a talented photographer... She always inspires me because if this girl can balance being a doctor, blogging, running marathons, a relationship and a million other things, I like to think I can too :)
Hungry Runner Girl - Ok, everyone and their dog probably knows about this blog, but I am sharing it because I love it. Janae is funny, cute and I like her quirky style. She's crazy fast and I love how much she genuinely loves running. Also - she posts lots of pictures of her insanely cute baby girl.
Walk to the Mailbox - The blogger behind this gem, Gina, is one of the most driven people ever. She's working towards her goal of running a marathon in each of the 50 states and she blogs about each race as she goes. She's a beautiful writer - I always enjoy reading her recaps.
Skinny Runner - Ok another of the ones that everyone probably already reads, but I just can't get enough of her witty, sarcastic posts and celebrity obsession. Also - this girl runs pretty much marathons every weekend for fun and does this even more "fun" thing called "Man Up Week" where she runs 4+ marathons in ONE WEEK.
Running with Spatulas - Ali is a fellow Canadian blogger/ runner and mama to the sweetest little guy, and what I love the most about her blog is how REAL she is. She blogs about the ups and the downs and her blog is always candid and honest. Product reviews are never raving infomercials, I actually use them when deciding if I want try a particular product.
She's also hosting a virtual race with some pretty epic prizes - check it out!!
The Athletarian - Christina over at the Athletarian is one of my very favourite bloggers, I read her posts every day. She's a general fitnessista/ runner and she posts awesome vegetarian food/ recipes and about clean eating and lots of different workouts. She the cutest, most inspiring person - I highly recommend her blog!
Siobhan McCarthy - Siobhan is another Canadian blogger who blogs about health, fitness, running and cheerleading. I've been reading her blog for a while now and always enjoy reading her posts and the different workouts she shares.
Push Pump Progress - Michelle is also a Canadian blogger. She's a runner/ fitness guru and posts lots of seriously yummy-looking recipes and informative/ thought-provoking posts. Her blog is in my regular morning reading rotation :)
Katy Widrick - I've been LOVING Katy's blog lately for tips on how to be a better blogger - from tips on how to make your blog more presentable , to , to just about anything. If you're looking for ways to improve your blog, her site is a goldmine. Definitely recommended!
Momcomm - Momcomm does the BEST . This site was recommended to me when I wanted to make some improvements to my blog on my budget (aka free), and I learned SO much by reading through the critiques already there. I think a lot of bloggers make the same mistakes - there's a lot of good advice there! If you're not as poor/ cheap as I am, her rates are really reasonable to have your own personal critique.
Doll Parade - Kristin is Ryan (aka "Boy")'s sister and she blogs about fashion & style. Though she's more about pictures than words, I love Kristin's witty writing. And she has the most fabulous knack for putting together pieces of clothing that I'd never dream of picking out - and making them look classy and fabulous. Whenever I am going shopping or want to get dressed in anything other than sweatpants, I consult with her blog to find out what is cool and how to pair things without looking like a child picked out my clothes. She's on some impressive style magazine panels and her site pretty much rocks!
There are lots of other blogs that I read and love, but sadly I cannot list them all! I have a Blogroll page (under the header at the top of the page) - let me know if you would like me to include your blog, I'd be happy to add it!
Also - leave your blog in the comments so I can check it out, if I don't already follow you!

Food comes priority for Asian travellers
Publication Date : 22-02-2014
Asian leisure tourists spend half of their total holiday budget on food and drink while travelling, according to a survey on travellers' behavior by Hilton Worldwide.
The survey showed that 43 per cent of respondents said half of their travel expenses are spent on food and drinks. The survey asked 2,700 leisure travellers in Asia Pacific countries, including China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. It was commissioned by the global hospitality company Hilton Worldwide.
The survey said 79 per cent look for culturally unique food experiences like culinary festivals and food markets while travelling.
"Today's modern culinary traveller is looking for authentic food experiences and activities which offer both quality and variety," said Markus Schueller, vice president for food and beverage operations, Asia Pacific at Hilton Worldwide.
Japan topped the list of favourite culinary destinations among travellers in the region, followed closely by Thailand and Taiwan in joint second place and Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong in a third place, according to the survey.

Getting started on our layout
We're hoping to remodel our kitchen next summer. I've never done a kitchen remodel, just bathrooms and closets. We're not sure if it's possible to work with the existing cabinets or not, so I need to figure out the layout.
We have a lot of obstacles with the current configuration: island is too far away, giant china hutch is where I need cabinets/counterspace, fridge is out in the open, I have to stand on tiptoes to get to the microwave...it's a bit of a mess.
I have looked at a lot of people's wonderful layout designs posted on here. Any layout software recommendations that are easy enough for a newbie, so I can play around with the layout and post the current layout for comments?
Hello, Mrs.EmmaPeel. A lot of people use the kitchen design program on the Ikea site to start. It's pretty basic and limited to their cabinet sizes, of course, but is very useful and has a 3D view that's fun to "walk" around in. People on the Ikeafans website would be happy to answer questions if you had any issues with it.
Here is a link that might be useful: Ikea

Good morning, commuters!
Traffic is stacking up on westbound 94 in Hudson, Wis. due to a crash on the bridge over the St. Croix River. Two right lanes are blocked and vehicles are getting by the scene only in the left lane. Expect delays to mount until this is cleaned up.
Closer to the metro, debris is littering the left lane on northbound Hwy. 169 just before Hwy. 7.
I'll be keeping an eye on the roads and rails this morning, reporting any delays or issues — and I will need your help.
If you see or hear about any congestion, delays or problems, e-mail drive@startribune or tweet @stribdrive.

Growth is missing from the emerging market story, and that makes EM assets unloved.
And what a week it was for emerging markets. China was a standout in otherwise miserable weekly performance stats:
The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) down 2.5%.
The Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) down 2.3%.
The iShares MSCI Brazil Capped ETF (EWZ) down 8.2%.
The Market Vectors Russia ETF (RSX) down 7.3%.
The iShares India 50 ETF (INDY) down 3.2%.
The Market Vectors China ETF (PEK) up 4.5%.
The Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF (NGE) down 0.6%.
The Global X FTSE Greece 20 ETF (GREK) down 9.6%.
The iShares MSCI Turkey ETF (TUR) down 4.3%.
Deustche Bank in a report out late Friday afternoon, says that after five years of slowing growth, and now the with the inexorable rise of the U.S. dollar, emerging market assets are losing their charm. Deutsche's chief economists Robert Burges, Gustavo Canonero and Taimur Baig, as well as Economist Gautam Kalani, write:
"The need for reform is becoming increasingly clear. This presents us with a challenge: While we have well-developed metrics for identifying macroeconomic imbalances, evaluating the structural side of an economy is much tougher. With these issues set to define the investment case for one EM over another in the coming years, however, we must nevertheless try. We have thus developed a composite measure of the structural "health" of 26 EM economies, based on indicators capturing: the quality of institutions, infrastructure, and education; the efficiency of local financial, labour, and product markets; economic openness; and the degree of state intervention in an economy."
Topping their list are well-developed Asian countries with structural strength that breeds investor patience: Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. Another group — we'll dub them "most improved": China, Indonesia, Peru and Poland. Deutsche cautions that China's slowdown may result in better quality and sustainability of growth.
"India and Mexico, two of the supposed reform "stars" within EM, have actually slipped a little in our rankings. We remain optimistic, however, that both should begin to rise as recent changes – such as the opening up of the energy sector in Mexico – begin to take effect, and if the new government in India is able to deliver on its promise of reform. We think the prognosis is also good in Colombia, where the legacies of past political disruption are continuing to fade."
Countries failing to keep pace with reform elsewhere: Brazil, Hungary, Russia and South Africa. "Turkey could go either way: there is much to like about the structure of its economy, but the quality of its institutions appear to be under some threat," Deutsche says. As for Argentina, Ukraine and Venezuela: "political changes will likely be needed before growth-enhancing reforms can take root."
Greek stocks rallied Tuesday in advance of debt negotiations with European leaders starting Wednesday.
That could be because the new radical-left Greek government is seeking some kind of agreement to win time — stall, if you prefer – and says it will honor 70% of reforms enacted so far. Or it could be because members of the new Greek coalition say they will go the U.S., Chinese or Russians to get "plan B" financing.
Greek defence minister Panos Kammenos said if a new debt agreement with the eurozone falls apart, "Plan B is to get funding from another source. It could be the United States at best, it could be Russia, it could be China or other countries," the BBC reports, quoting Greek television. Greece reportedly plans to send new foreign minister Nikolaos Kotzias to Russia for discussions Wednesday, as we noted Monday.
Kammenos' comments speak to the fragility of the Syriza Party coalition: why is the defense minister speaking about the nation's 240 billion euro ($271.6 billion) bailout at such a crucial moment, independent of ever-colorful Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis? Kammenos was chairman of the minority, right-wing Independent Greeks party with which Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras formed a coalition.
The Global X FTSE Greece 20 ETF (GREK) rose 7.6%, and Greek bank stocks rallied in U.S. trading: Piraeus Bank (BPIRY) rose 18%, National Bank of Greece (NBG) was up 16%, Eurobank Ergasias (EGFEY) climbed 13%, and Alpha Bank (ALBKY) was up nearly 9%.
Wolfango Piccoli at Teneo Intelligence wrote today that investors should not expect a quick resolution this week on the Greek road to a new deal. He outlines what Greece wants:
"Athens' first bridging proposal envisages an extension until June, while the second one would cover the period up to the end of August. In the meantime, Greek banks would continue to have access to Emergency Liquidity Assistance (ELA). Both proposals assume the return of EUR 1.9 billion in profits acquired by Eurosystem central banks under the ECB's Securities Markets Program (SMP) as well as raising the ceiling for the issuing of T-bills by another EUR 8bn. The second, longer-lasting proposal would also assume the disbursement of the still outstanding loan tranches under the current program, which amount to EUR 5.3 billion (EUR 1.8 billion from the EFSF and EUR 3 billion from the IMF). This latter aspect would be crucial, given that in the scenario of an extension through August, EUR 6.7 billion in ECB bond redemptions would also have to be covered …
… a quick decision on disbursement of the still outstanding tranche is unlikely at [Wednesday's] Eurogroup meeting. In their current form, the Greek proposals are unlikely to persuade creditors. However, they might provide a base for discussion. The base case therefore remains that while on balance an eventual deal remains the most likely outcome, the negotiations will be difficult and could go down to the wire."
A timeline of crucial dates, and more on Kammenos' comments on Greece's Mega TV, from the BBC. Kammenos was controversial, before becoming defense minister, for uttering anti-Semitic untruths, Israeli daily Haaretz reports.
Emerging-market equities rose for the first time in three days even as China reported its weakest economic growth in 24 years.
The Shanghai Composite Index climbed 1.8% following a 7.7% plunge Monday. Brazil's Ibovespa inched 0.25% higher today after the state-run oil company Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR) decided against raising fuel prices. The Borsa Istanbul 100 Index jumped 1.4% after Turkey's central bank cut the key interest rate.
And India's S&P BSE Sensex rallied 1.85% after earlier hitting a record high.
On Monday, news broke that China's GDP grew 7.3% during the three months through December compared to a year earlier and rose 7.4% for the entire 2014 calendar year. And the IMF lowered its forecast for China's economic growth and joined the list of organizations to predict that India is about to outpace China and become the world's fastest-growing large economy.
The European Central Bank is meeting this week and may unleash a program of quantitative easing. Such a move, if substantial, could help bolster emerging markets, or hit them hard, if the size of the program disappoints.
Things Tuesday were not rosy everywhere. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) fell 0.13% in recent trading, though it has been inching higher since noontime.
The Micex Index dropped 0.3% in Moscow amid a decline by natural-gas exporter OAO Gazprom (OGZPY).
In the view of Mark Mobius, China and India, considered the two largest economies in Asia, will also be growth juggernauts in the coming year.
In an article written for the Economic Times, a prominent India business publication, Mobius, who overseas emerging-markets investing at fund firm Franklin Templeton, asserts that "even with major economies like Brazil and Russia slowing down, overall growth in emerging markets during 2015 is expected to be comfortably in excess of that achieved by developed markets, with China and India likely to drive the Asian region to particularly strong growth."
In his piece, Mobius discusses some of the broader trends that will fuel growth among a variety of emerging markets.
"Many emerging markets, among them China, India, Indonesia, Mexico and South Korea, have announced or embarked upon significant reform measures that differ in details but are generally aimed at sweeping away bureaucratic barriers to economic growth, encouraging entrepreneurship and exposing inefficient industries to market discipline," writes Mobius, who manages the Templeton Developing Markets Fund (TEDMX), among other closed and open-end portfolios.
He adds that most emerging markets "are also looking to rebalance economic activity away from export- and investment-heavy models to become more oriented toward consumer demand. "
Though reform measures have had some short-term costs, "we believe that, should governments succeed in driving them through, longer-term benefits could soon begin to feed into economic growth figures," Mobius writes. "The emphasis on market discipline could also create a closer correspondence between emerging-market growth and corporate profitability."
Mobius also discussed the role that technology can play in accelerating growth trends, "with some Internet and mobile communications-based technologies in particular offering less developed countries the opportunity to leapfrog generations of economic change in more mature markets and move directly to efficient modern systems."
Such technological improvements, he adds, could be a particularly dynamic driver of development in frontier markets that include much of Africa.
Mobius' optimism comes despite a number of risks which he acknowledges.
"We do not disregard issues such as the recent weak economic performances in Brazil and Russia as well as the market-unfriendly direction of policy in those countries, nor do we dismiss the potential for Chinese military assertiveness in the South China Sea to create tensions or the profound nervousness displayed by investors at any sign that US monetary policy might be tightened," he writes. "However, we believe both Russia and Brazil have the resources to bounce back strongly should more appropriate policies be adopted. With Russia in particular, much risk already has been discounted in exceptionally low equity valuations as of December-end, though the Russian government's unwillingness to soften its stance toward Ukraine could elicit more sanctions that result in a negative environment for investors."
Emerging-market stocks headed for a second weekly advance as China's stock market was lifted on speculation that the country would adopt measures to help its economy.
China Life Insurance Co. and Haitong Securities Co. each climbed 10% in Shanghai, where the benchmark index posted its biggest two-day gain in five years, Bloomberg reported. The lift for China's stock market came on news that People's Bank of China will temporarily waive a requirement for lenders to set aside reserves for some deposits, people with knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg, highlighting efforts to boost lending amid a slowdown in the world's second-largest economy.
China's good news help boost emerging markets as a whole. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM), a popular proxy for the sector, was up 1% Friday as of 1:20 a.m. ET , for a 1..6% gain over the past week. Meanwhile the WisdomTree Emerging Markets High-Yielding Equity Fund (DEM) was up 1.1% Friday.
Advances in emerging markets are "based mainly on perceptions of more stimulative policies out of China," Nicholas Spiro, the managing director of Spiro Sovereign Strategy in London, said by e-mail to Bloomberg. That being said, "trading is thin and one shouldn't read too much into this rally, not least given the risk of a further slide in oil prices and the plethora of risks in EMs, in particular Russia," Spiro added.
Russia continues to be a trouble spot for emerging markets investors. And the country contends with sanctions over the conflict in Ukraine and a looming recession, ratings agency Standard & Poor said Dec. 23 there's at least a 50% chance it will cut the sovereign's credit rating to below investment grade within 90 days. Still, Russian stocks were up slightly on Friday.
As the Dow continues to rise past a milestone at 18,063, emerging market stocks slip, with the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) down 3 cents at $38.99, the iShares MSCI BRIC ETF (BKF) down 21 cents, or 0.6%, at $34.52, the Wisdom Tree India Earnings Fund (EPI) down 15 cents, or 0.7%, at $21.66, and the iShares MSCI Brazil Capped ETF (EWZ) down 14 cents, or 0.4%, at $36.34.
There are pockets of health, with the iShares MSCI Turkey ETF (TUR) up 25 cents, half a percent, at $54.59.
A highlight of the selling pressure is the Chinese market, where the Market Vectors China ETF is down 65 cents, or 1.5%, at $41.90, as China's stock market experienced its biggest two-day loss since the summer of 2013, the Shanghai Composite Index falling 2%, and the China CSI 300 Index falling 2.8% to 3,230.39, as Bloomberg's Weiyi Lim notes.
Former Pimco CEO Mohamed El-Erian commenting on Bloomberg Television early today, was asked about the "divergence" of the developed world and the emerging world. Front and center was sliding oil prices. "It may tip certain countries over," said El-Erian of the commodity's decline, the three most prominent names being Russia, Venezuela, and Nigera.
Addressing debt contagion, El-Erian remarked that Greece, in particular, "has a fundamental issue that it has to deal with, which is excessive indebtedness." Greece either needs a third bailout, or debt reduction, he said.
The Global X FTSE Greece 20 ETF (GREK) was up 0.2% at $14.22 as the country rolls toward yet another vote on December 29th in which Prime Minister Antonis Samaras attempts to get his candidate for president approved, after failing in multiple ballots thus far. (More here from Bloomberg's Marcus Bensasson and Eleni Chrepa.)
Speaking of oil, Saudia Arabia's oil regime declared at an energy conference that the country would hold the line on production even as prices slide, saying even $40-per-barrel oil is "irrelevant."
The price of Brent Crude oil futures, the international benchmark, slipped further, with the February contract sliding $1.77 to $59.92 a barrel. Bloomberg's Elisha Bala-Gbogbo reports Nigeria, the biggest oil exporter, is considering cutting some $7 billion in internal fuel subsidies as oil prices continue to slide. It's a controversial move for the government to consider ahead of a February presidential election.
The ruble continued to gain strength even as oil slips, improving to 54.08 rubles against the dollar, despite S&P yesterday cutting its outlook on Russian sovereign bond ratings.
El-Erian, in the segment mentioned above, declared "it will be cut to junk," of Russia's credit, simply because Russia doesn't have enough reserves "to meet all requirements."
"What Russia is looking at is recession, inflation, periodic pressure on the currency, and Mr. Putin having to make an important decision on whether to re-engage with the West or not."
The FT's Alice Ross writes that Citigroup analysts view the ruble as "far from out of the woods yet," though analysts at BNY Mellon opined "the height of the crisis for the currency has already passed."
Elsewhere, India's stocks declined the most in a week, reports Bloomberg's Rajhkumar Shaaw, the India S&P BSE Sensex index declining 1%. This comes as foreign investors yanked $1.04 billion from stocks in ten days through Tuesday.
The folks at Eurasia Group note that Brazil's president Dilma Rousseff will announce the members of her new cabinet next week. The group believes there will be "an earnest improvement in macroeconomic management in the near term and some constructive overtures in oil and infrastructure policies," but on the whole believes the changes cannot mitigate "Rousseff's long-term political liabilities."
Shares of Petroleo Brasileiro SA (PBR), Petrobras, are down 19 cents, or 2.5%, at $7.52.
China revised its GDP data for 2013 Friday, highlighting again the problem of data collection and analysis from a country that drives global markets.
China's National Bureau of Statistics published revised 2013 GDP of $9.6 trillion, up from $9.3 trillion. Retroactive growth? Yes, we are talking about 2013. China's stat bureau said the revision doesn't affect GDP data for 2014 or the central government's reform agenda for 2015, according to Andy Liu, an analyst at Teneo Intelligence.
The Shanghai Composite Index proved somewhat immune to the news and global sell-off earlier this week. Today, the iShares China Large Cap ETF (FXI) is up 0.4% today and the iShares MSCI China ETF (MCHI) is up 0.2%. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) is up nearly 0.6%. The day's stars are Nigeria and Russia. The Global X Nigeria Index ETF (NGE) is up 5% and the Market Vectors Russia ETF (RSX) is up 3.5%. On the downside: Middle East investments, and India smallcaps. The Wisdom Tree Middle East Dividend fund (GULF) is down 1.8% while the iShares MSCI India Small Cap ETF (SMIN) fell 1.6%.
The jump in China's GDP estimate for 2013 can primarily be attributed to the service sector, indicating the government's efforts to rebalance the economy are bearing fruit, Liu says, adding:
"The episode highlights continuing problems with data collection and analysis in China. … Local government officials' political careers have so far been closely linked to GDP growth. This incentivizes them to submit inflated figures. In response, the central government has been trying to reduce the weight of GDP growth in assessing their performance. … The revision was the result of the third economic census, which the NBS has been conducting every five years since 2004 in order to increase the accuracy of data collection. … Beijing has begun to adopt a new methodology … a UN framework for compiling economic data used by both the US and the EU. China is expected to apply the methodology in its economic statistics for the first time in 2015….
Improving data quality is in the ruling party's own interest as it enables decision-makers to acquire a true understanding of China's economy, on which the effectiveness of economic and monetary policies rely. In this context, it is significant that [China's statistics bureau] sends its own team around China to collect data, rather than relying on often-inflated data submitted by local governments."

Russian equities — the worst emerging market performers this year — finally got some relief today.
To stem its currency and financial crisis, Russia sold dollars to provide liquidity, and said it would provide additional capital to banks, the BBC reports. The central bank also took steps to help banks and companies pay foreign-currency debt payments, Bloomberg reports.
The ruble is showing some renewed strength, trading at around 62 per U.S. dollar.
In U.S. trading, Russian banking giant Sberbank (SBRCY) sprang ahead nearly 20% in recent trading, Mechel (MTL) rose 17%, Gazprom (OGZPY) is up 10%, VimpelCom (VIP) is up nearly 10% and Yandex (YNDX) is up 4.6%. Shares of global mining company Norilsk Nickel (NILSY), which held up Tuesday along with other global commodities players despite the Russian downdraft, is down 0.8%.
The Market Vectors Russia ETF (RSX) is up 3.4% and the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) is up 1.2%. The Russia fund is down 48% this year, compared to a nearly 10% decline in the broader emerging market exchange-traded fund.
See a recent post from colleague Shuli Ren in Hong Kong, who writes that the drag on all emerging markets from Russia's travails is a buying opportunity in India and China, according to UBS, and a broad opportunity in emerging markets overall.
Capital Economics says "fears of a widespread crisis in the emerging world are overdone" and offers ten key issues that will shape emerging market investing in 2015:
See our post on the Deutsche Bank emerging market 2015 outlook, where we included a table on performance by country through November. Also, HSBC's 2015 emerging market outlook and more from UBS Asset Management on emerging market credit risk. And a short scorecard of emerging market ETFs– ranked by their year-to-date performance — shows that while many EM plays fell, a broad basket mitigated country risk:
It was a rough day in many corners of emerging markets for investors Tuesday.
The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) fell 0.9% Monday, on top of a similar decline for the MSCI index Monday.
Here's how market observer Robert Savage of Track Research summed things up:
"The world went up in smoke today – 13% drop in Greek shares, 8% from top to bottom in China shares, 3% drop in USD/JPY. Volatility was ugly enough to make many think of smoking more than tobacco to soothe their bruised P&L. There were a number of things that mattered in U.S. hours : The price action from the oil bounce failing to the gold rally extending. The release of the Senate Intelligence report on CIA torture – if only because it will be a lightening rod for global reaction to U.S. policy and reignite moral relativism arguments about the U.S. …."
Indeed, mining companies, especially those with a gold business, rallied: Peruvian gold miner Compania de Minas Buenaventura (BVN) rose 9%. South African mining company AngloGold Ashanti (AU) was up nearly 5%, while Harmony Gold Mining (HMY) rose 5.7%.
Among the day's biggest losers: National Bank of Greece (NBG) fell 14% in U.S. trading. Depending on the outcome of elections later this month, the coalition Greek government could face a leftist challenge in January "snap" elections, calling into question the timing of new debt financing and Greece's exit from its European bailout strictures. But it could be time to buy Greek banks, according to Nikhil Bhatnagar, an analyst and vice president of Asian equities at Auerbach Grayson. He's also a fan of India and Pakistan banks.
Update: replaces MSCI index figures.

Valencia left-back Jordi Alba could become Barcelona's first signing of the summer, according to El Mundo Deportivo.
The enforced absence of Frenchman Eric Abidal, who has undergone a liver transplant, and the transfer of Maxwell to Paris Saint-Germain in January has left the Catalans with only one recognised left-hand sided defender in Adriano.
Tottenham Hotspur's Gareth Bale has been mentioned as one possibility but the elevated asking price - Spurs are understood to be unwilling to do business at less than €30m - means Alba is in pole position for a switch from the Mestalla to the Camp Nou.
Despite Valencia's reluctance to sell the 23-year-old, whose contract ends in June, 2013, they have still not reached agreement for a renewal and the player has already expressed an interest in returning to the club where he spent seven years as a youth, before being released in 2005.
However, Alba has always been very grateful for the way in which he has been treated by Valencia and is therefore believed to be willing to sign a new contract extension, providing a rescission clause is inserted that specifies if an offer is received from Barca then he can leave for €12m.
Even so, Valencia are understood to be prepared to contemplate this arrangement only if the figure is set at €18m, something neither the player nor Barcelona will accept, and Los Che would consequently risk losing the Spanish international on a free transfer in 12 months time.

All of a sudden, the number of workers clocking 31 to 34 hours per week is sinking like a stone.
This segment of workers with usual weekly hours just above the 30-hour mark at which ObamaCare employer penalties apply shrunk by a monthly average of 242,000, or 10%, in the first quarter relative to the same period in 2013, Current Population Survey data show.
Meanwhile, the number working 25 to 29 hours per week, just south of ObamaCare's definition of full time, rose 306,000, or 9%, over the same period.
Even amid a strong cyclical tide, the White House Council of Economic Advisers has suggested that it's possible to detect the effect of ObamaCare's current on work hours by focusing on the narrow channel on either side of the 30-hour point.
If the ratio of workers with hours just above 30 per week relative to those with hours just below were stable or rising, it would suggest that employers weren't responding to the incentive to reduce work hours in order to limit liability under ObamaCare.
The White House first unveiled this analysis of ObamaCare's impact on the workweek in September and gave the all-clear signal, but the data have shifted dramatically since then.
In March, this White House-endorsed gauge sank to a nearly 14-year low of 57%, down from 73% in the month ObamaCare was signed into law.
The evidence leaves little doubt that ObamaCare's mandate is influencing employer work policies.
The sharp drop in the number of workers clocking 31 to 34 hours per week in their primary job has been apparent in each of the past six months, making clear that the data from the often-volatile Current Population Survey are sending a reliable signal.
In fact, the CPS data, which feed into the monthly employment report's household survey, only belatedly caught up with the more-robust establishment survey data, which show that the workweek among low-wage private-sector workers sank to a record low last summer.
It's only logical that the relevant household survey data would lag by several months because of the wording of the survey. Workers are asked to provide the schedule they worked at least 50% of the time over the prior four to five months, so it could take several months for work-hour reductions to register.
The 30 million rank-and-file workers in private industries where pay averages up to about $14.50 an hour clocked their shortest-ever average workweek in July, 27.45 hours, just as the Obama Administration delayed employer penalties to 2015. The administration more recently delayed the mandate by an additional year for employers with fewer than 100 full-time-equivalent workers.
Sometimes lawmakers' eyes are bigger than the government's stomach. And amid the feast that was ObamaCare, Congress ordered up at least one dish too many. Even now, as supporters and opponents mark its fifth anniversary, the Obama administration is still trying to digest a provision of the law ...
The good news on ObamaCare premiums is history, the Congressional Budget Office signaled Monday, predicting nearly double-digit rate hikes in each of the next three years. Premiums will rise an average 8.5% annually over 2016-2018, the CBO projects, as the government phases out a temporary program ...
If ObamaCare subsidies on federal exchanges survive their brush with the Supreme Court, it may be because the law is even more coercive without them. Chief Justice John Roberts, who saved the individual mandate by calling it a tax in 2012, has been seen as the swing vote who will determine whether ...
Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell recently declared that the latest ObamaCare sign-up tally was proof that the exchanges offer "a product that consumers need, want and like." Yet the one family that she highlighted to demonstrate that "the Affordable Care Act is working" does more ...
This year, as many as 6 million taxpayers will learn that they now owe a "Shared Responsibility Payment" because they didn't have health insurance last year. The SRP is a clumsy euphemism for the ObamaCare individual mandate tax penalty, which is $95 or 1% of household income, whichever is greater, ...
What is ObamaCare's impact on business and the economy? What are the pros and cons of President Obama's health care reform? IBD provides constant news coverage and commentary on the Affordable Care Act, including enrollment on federal and state insurance exchanges, regulations, premiums, costs, fines, Democrat and Republican politics -- and a unique employer mandate scorecard of job and work-hour cuts, updated regularly.

The Italian Campaign: Breaking the Hitler line
A full year before the D-Day landings in Normandy, there were the Allied invasions of Sicily and Italy. Canada played a major role in the Allies' first breach of Hitler's "Fortress Europe" in 1943 and 1944. Canadian soldiers defeated entrenched German forces but paid a terrible price. Seaside towns and mountain passes became places of horror: Ortona, Cassino, Rimini. But with the events of D-Day and the Allied push across Europe, the Italian Campaign became a forgotten front, a deadly sideshow that cost nearly 6,000 Canadian lives. Sixty years later, their bravery is remembered.
• Soldiers from Canada's Van Doos, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, Seaforth Highlanders and Carleton and York regiment successfully attacked the line on May 23, 1944, supported by a stupendous artillery barrage. Tanks from the Canadian Fifth Armoured Division then poured through to attack the waiting German Panther tanks. The line fell, and after taking Ceprano and Forsinone the Canadian troops were given two months of rest.

Interior design students at Florida State University learn to design functional and pleasing space everywhere from luxury yachts to low-income apartments.
Hotels, offices, restaurants and assisted living facilities — you name it — they've done it.
But the award-winning program's requirements go well beyond just making a space look good.
"It's all about creating spaces that enhance the human experience," said Lisa Waxman, chair of the Department of Interior Design in Florida State's College of Visual Arts, Theatre and Dance. "And doing that takes quite a bit of technical knowledge."
Students who graduate from the department's undergraduate and graduate programs are proficient in at least six kinds of sophisticated design software — some cutting-edge and all used by top interior and architectural design firms worldwide.
"It allows them to go into a firm and be ready for anything that comes at them," said Waxman of the program's requirements, which include proficiency in computer-aided design software programs such as AutoCAD, 3D Studio Max and Adobe Creative Suite. Also essential is new software — Building Information Modeling (BIM) — in which students simultaneously build a two-dimensional interior space while also creating three-dimensional views and accounting for building materials and other requirements.
In better economic times, designers could afford to excel at just one skill, Waxman said, leaving the software or drafting to another member of the firm.
But now it's crucial for students to have more arrows in their quiver. And, that means a much more integrated program.
"They learn the software in a stand-alone class and then use it in their studio courses where they might design anything from a high-end residential space to a health care facility," she said.
The program has about 225 undergraduate and graduate students. It offers a two-year Master of Fine Arts degree, as well as a one-year Master of Science degree for students who already hold an undergraduate degree in interior design or architecture. It also offers a six-semester Master of Science for students with undergraduate degrees in other majors.
"We often see students with diverse undergraduate degrees looking for a more creative outlet for their skills," Waxman said. "Students from other fields add their distinctiveness to the discussion of design."
The Department of Interior Design's graduate program was recently named the most admired program of its kind in the country in a national survey of 122 deans and department chairs by Design Intelligence, a respected industry publication of the Design Futures Council. The program is accredited by the Council of Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) and the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD).

Need ideas for cheap trim/moulding
My DS is in his house now and needs all the ideas you can share for cheap trim or moulding. He said that even the big-box home store prices are pretty outrageous. Any help out there?
Here's a trick to fool the eye - Use whatever molding you like and can afford, probably something thin. Also, buy half-round for the same area. Put up the molding and then the half-round about 2-3" from the molding. Paint everything - including the wall - the same color. Makes it look like your moldings are much thicker than they are.
Hi Kathy11,
Do you know someone with a router?
One can use that to make one's own mouldings.
Must buy the wood, though, unless you have some lying around.
If you don't want a wide moulding, might want to rip a piece of lumber down the middle - so it would then go twice as far.
Hope that he gets it fixed up in a way that suits him (and all the others who'll live there).
joyful guy
You might try foam mouldings too. I'm going to give that a shot in my new house. The corners are pre-cut so all I need is a kitchen knife or a razor blade. No power tools :)

Team reports that hauler is total loss
NASCAR Nationwide Series team JD Motorsports lost its team hauler to a fire.
The hauler for the No. 01 Chevrolet driven by Mike Wallace was lost after it caught fire at the team's race shop.
There were no injuries, and the tractor was detached and pulled away before suffering any damages, according to a team release. But the hauler — loaded with equipment, some uniforms, backup parts, engines, shocks and springs — was a total loss.
However, the primary and backup cars for this weekend's race at Talladega Superspeedway were not on the hauler, and the race shop did not incur any damage.
"The fire department told me the fire started near the refrigerator on the hauler," said team owner Johnny Davis. "That's powered by propane, like everyone else's is on these haulers. It started around 7 p.m., and we were able to detach the tractor before anything happened to it and get that out of the way.
"The hauler itself is a total loss; almost everything on there is burnt beyond use. Luckily, the fine folks at Robby Benton Racing stepped up and will let us use their hauler for this weekend's race. We were also fortunate enough to have Black's Tire helps us out to get to race this weekend, too. On behalf of everyone on my team, we'd all like to thank them for their help.
"Our spirits are down here a little bit at JD Motorsports today, we just didn't need something like this right now with all we're trying to do to go racing. Our spirits might be down, but not broken — we're going to be racing at Talladega."

A coated wire is solderable with soft solder while maintaining separate phases of the core and the coating. A 100 μm to 400 μm thick nickel wire may be coated galvanically with silver. For a film resistor with coated wires as connection wires, including a platinum measurement resistor on an electrically insulating substrate and connection wires connected to the measurement resistor, the connection wires have a coated nickel core. The coating may be made of silver or glass or ceramic or a mixture of these materials, or on its outside may be made of glass or ceramic or a mixture of these materials. For producing film resistors a thin metal or glass component is deposited on a connection wire connected to a track conductor arranged on an electrically insulating substrate, and a thick glass paste is deposited and fired on this metal or glass component. For mass production of film, several film resistors encased together in glass may be partitioned by fracturing.
1. A film resistor comprising a platinum measurement resistor on an electrically insulating substrate and connection wires connected to the measurement resistor, wherein the connection wires consist essentially of a coated core, and wherein the core comprises nickel and the coating consists essentially of silver or a mixture of silver with glass or ceramic.
2. The film resistor according to
3. The film resistor according to
4. The film resistor according to
5. The film resistor according to
6. The film resistor according to
7. A method for producing a film resistor having a measurement resistor and a coated wire connected thereon according to
The present invention relates to film resistors, a method for their production, and also novel connection wires made of nickel for film resistors. Film resistors in the sense of the present invention comprise a resistive pattern on an electrically insulating surface of a substrate, wherein the resistive pattern is covered with a glass cover and is electrically connected with connection wires, wherein the connection wires project out from the glass cover.
In particular, the connection wires are mechanically fixed to the glass cover. The glass cover is formed by the deposition of glass paste and its firing on the substrate. Construction in single units is expensive for mass production. If several film resistors are encased with glass together on a common substrate, the film resistors can then by partitioned by sawing.
According to the Heraeus brochure "Ceramic and glass measurement resistors/film resistors/test resistor thermometers" (PTM-W2), film resistors with platinum-coated connection legs made of nickel are known. Such film resistors are designed for high-temperature applications between 400° C. and 1000° C.
The problem of the present invention comprises providing a more simplified method for mass production. In particular, while maintaining the protective properties achieved with a platinum coating, the soldering of the connection wires should be simplified.
According to the invention, it was recognized that wires made of silver or silver alloy would negatively affect the measurement resistor, but not wires made of a nickel core with a thin silver coating. The silver coating, in turn, allows the use of soft solder for mounting the film resistor on its end facing away from the measurement resistor. In a preferred embodiment according to the invention, a nickel wire coated with silver is connected to the measurement resistor by thermal compression via a connection field (pad). On this pad, a glass coating is applied, and for the case using thin-film technology, a glass paste is also deposited. The glass paste is sintered to form a porous body. Finally, the measurement resistors are partitioned by breaking apart the glass paste, in particular at desired breaking points.
Preferably, the wire is heated so that a glass film forms around the heated wire. A coating of the wire, in particular a thin-film coating, is also suitable, in order to increase the strength of the connection of the wire to the measurement resistor and the glazing.
For the coating, particularly effective, suitable materials include non-volatile inorganic components, such as ceramic or metal, in particular glass.
According to the invention, connection wires are provided having a nickel core and a silver coating. The connection wire having a silver coating according to the invention can be soldered directly to the coating, wherein the contact point suffers no loss in quality of the connection wire due to alloy formation between the silver and nickel. Thus, the production of film resistors of high quality is significantly simplified.
For a coated wire having a core based on nickel, according to the invention the core and coating of the wire remain as separate phases during soldering with soft solder, especially if the coated wire has a coating based on silver.
The silver coating can be diluted with an inert material such as glass, in particular quartz glass or ceramic, especially aluminum oxide. Preferably, the silver coating or its silver phase has a purity of at least 99 wt. %. Likewise, the core can be diluted with an inert material. Preferably, the nickel core or its nickel phase has a purity of at least 99 wt. %.
The silver can also be completely replaced by an inert material. Consequently, for a coating made of silver or glass or ceramic or a mixture of these materials, according to the invention the core material remains a separate phase during the soldering with soft solder. Because silver may in no way contaminate the measurement resistor, the silver coating is constructed significantly thinner than the nickel core, in particular by at least one order of magnitude, preferably by at least two orders of magnitude.
A diameter of 100 μm to 400 μm for the nickel core and a 0.2 μm to 5 μm thick silver coating are dimensions according to one embodiment of the invention. For its production a 100 μm to 400 μm thick nickel wire can be coated galvanically with silver. In particular, in one embodiment silver is deposited galvanically onto the nickel wire with a coating thickness of 0.5 to 1 μm.
For the production of a film resistor according to the invention with a coated wire, when connecting the coated wire to the pad of the film resistor blank, the coating and the core remain as separate phases.
A film resistor having a platinum measurement resistor on an electrically insulating substrate and coated wires connected to the measurement resistor as connections wires, which have a coated nickel core, is constructed according to the invention with the coating made of silver or glass or ceramic or a mixture of these materials or on its outside made of glass or ceramic or a mixture of these materials. In particular, despite the thermal compression with the measurement resistor, the coating of the connection wire remains as a separate phase relative to the core of the connection wire in the region of the contact. For this purpose, the silver coating or the silver phase or the nickel core preferably has a purity of at least 99 wt. %. The film resistor thereby has a coated connection wire, whose coating is not endangered, with respect to its electrical conductivity and in terms of its mechanical properties, by diffusion of the core material.
In a high-value embodiment, the measurement resistor and the connection wires, in the region of their ends attached to the measurement resistor, are covered with glass or glass ceramic.
A film resistor, comprising an electrically insulating surface of a substrate, a track conductor arranged on the electrically insulating surface, two nickel wires connected to the track conductor, and a glass cover sealing the track conductor and the wire ends connected to the track conductor, according to the invention has a thin glass or metal coating, in particular made of platinum or silver, on the wire and a thick glass component deposited on this coating.
In particular, its glazing has a first, thin component arranged directly on the metal surface of the wire and a thick main component deposited on this first component.
The nickel oxide film thickness on the nickel wire preferably equals less than 1 μm, in particular less than 100 nm.
In an especially stable embodiment, a thin metal or glass component is deposited on the connection wire, which is connected to a track conductor arranged on an electrically insulating substrate, and a thick glass paste is deposited and fired on this metal or glass component.
It is also possible to heat the connection wire in a medium containing glass until a glass film has formed around this wire.
According to one embodiment of the invention, it is possible to partition by fracturing several film resistors glazed together. This simplifies the production of film resistors made of at least one resistor pattern on an electrically insulating surface of a substrate having a covered resistor pattern and having connection wires strain relieved with glass, which connection wires are connected to the resistor pattern in an electrically conductive way.
In a preferred embodiment, the silver wire attached to the contact point is surrounded with glass, in particular using thin-film technology. Then, according to the invention only the wire surrounded with glass is strain relieved by deposition and firing of a glass paste. With this technique, the known bubble formation in the use of glass for strain relief of the connection wires is avoided.
In an especially simple embodiment, nickel wires according to the invention are provided with a glass coating. The glass coating protects the wires from corrosion and allows bubble-free fixing for strain relief with a glass paste. With the thin glass film, oxide films of the solder point are more easily scratched or broken. The later solder point is in itself comparable to a cermet mixture and, in the region of the solder point, is less sensitive to stresses occurring due to the different coefficients of expansion than the classic metallic solder connections strain relieved with an outer glass bead.
The outstanding stability of the film resistors according to the invention permits their partitioning by breaking apart from each other. Thus, according to an embodiment of the invention, a plurality of film resistors can be produced simultaneously on one substrate plate, in particular with a common deposition of the strain-relieved glass paste. For breaking apart, desired fracture points should be introduced, in particular by scoring the substrate. The final breaking apart for partitioning the film resistors is an enormous process simplification relative to the previous partitioning by sawing.
The foregoing summary, as well as the following detailed description of the invention, will be better understood when read in conjunction with the appended drawings. For the purpose of illustrating the invention, there are shown in the drawings embodiments which are presently preferred. It should be understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the precise arrangements and instrumentalities shown. In the drawings:

Peter Ducharme, MSW '08, was featured in the Boston Globe for his work with a video game prototype used in therapy to help children develop anger management skills.
Ducharme, a clinical social worker in the department of psychiatry at Children's Hospital Boston, is running the study. While playing the video game, trial patients wear a monitoring clip that allows them to succeed at the game only when their pulse dips below a resting rate. Ducharme teaches players deep breathing techniques that bring down their heart rates.
"If they're getting better at controlling their physiological reactions in the game, they should be better able to control their reactions outside of the game,'" Ducharme said in the article. Additional simulations and features will be added as the clinical trial progresses.

Rapper inspired by local people, places
Jeremy Wheeler barely remembers a time when music wasn't a part of his life. Today, that aspect seems firmly rooted as the performer has released a new video, and his popularity is surging.
Wheeler, who is known as rapper Ya-Boi Slicc, has been taking to the stage in and around Tunica since seventh grade.
"I liked music. I liked beats, and I just started rapping," Wheeler said simply.
Once his talent was revealed, there was no stopping him.
In the early days, he and his cousin recorded songs and played them on the bus to school. They also practiced and performed in local apartment complexes, pretty much whenever and wherever they got a chance.

The uterus, or womb, is an important female reproductive organ. It is the place where a baby grows when a woman is pregnant. If you have an ectopic pregnancy, the fertilized egg grows in an abnormal place, outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tubes. The result is usually a miscarriage.
Ectopic pregnancy can be a medical emergency if it ruptures. Signs of ectopic pregnancy include
Get medical care right away if you have these signs. Doctors use drugs or surgery to remove the ectopic tissue so it doesn't damage your organs. Many women who have had ectopic pregnancies go on to have healthy pregnancies later.

The air conditioning system is an electronic component and so it has a connection to the engine system. The air conditioning system is not a single component. It is made up of various components embedded in it. The Plymouth AC kit of your vehicle is the device which comprises of all the air conditioning components in it. In other words, the Plymouth AC kit is called the air conditioning conversion system. The parts of the Plymouth AC kit of your vehicle include the accumulator – drier, the condenser, the compressor, the evaporator, the expansion device, the exhaust/ coolant fan and the clutch. Each part in the Plymouth AC kit has a unique function. The Plymouth AC kit is a device that is working in the direct drive mode. If the Plymouth AC kit is in direct drive mode, it will be operated in automatic transmission mode. As all the function is automated, if any of the operation does not work, then the whole Plymouth AC kit will be affected. Most of the vehicle system has only automated performance mechanism which requires proper maintenance.
If any part of your Plymouth vehicle is worn, it has a chance to affect the other parts near to that device or linked to that device.
