EU dairy farmers concerned over milk surpluses rally in Brussels to protest lifting of quotas
3 hours ago
BRUSSELS (AP) — Dairy farmers hit the streets of Brussels Tuesday to protest the lifting of European Union milk quotas, fearing that the move will flood the market with cheap surplus milk. The quota system which kept a lid on production will be scrapped on Wednesday, more than 30 years after it was introduced to try to halt massive overproduction that had resulted in so-called milk lakes and butter mountains in the EU.

Lost London: Previously Unseen Photos Discovered
Londonist points us to previously unseen photos of London from 1870 to 1945.
Londonist points us to previously unseen photos of London from 1870 to 1945, a period that saw London go from a bustling horse-drawn city to the devastated streets of the Second World War. Beginning January 23, a free exhibition at Kenwood House, Hampstead will showcase 100 historical photographs from the English Heritage archive, allowing visitors to catch glimpses of long-forgotten buildings and people. The images were originally taken to provide a record of those districts of London marked for demolition.

On the Optimal Taxation of Capital Income in the Open Economy
The optimal taxation of foreign and domestic investors' incomes is examined with a simple overlapping-generations model. Even when tax rates are allowed to discriminate between these groups,the optimal tax rates on both domestic and foreign investors' incomes in the small open economy are identical and equal to the optimal rate of tax in the closed economy. In light of the emphasis in the literature on the extent to which the elasticity of international flows might lower optimal capital income taxes, this conclusion is quite a surprise. In the large open economy, the optimal tax rate on foreign investors'income alone is a weighted average of one and the small economy tax rate. The optimal tax rate on domestic income is, again, unaffected by the openness ofthe economy. When a uniform tax rate must be set in the large open economy, it is generally higher than the optimal tax rate for a closed economy, a conclusion contrary to the conventional wisdom. However, a higher elasticity of international capital flows is associated with a lower tax rate, as expected, butthe rate remains above the closed-economy rate. In summary, openness matters for optimal tax policy, primarily in the case of the large economy. The reason is mainly the ability to burden foreign investors with a tax liability.

Jarell Martin will leave LSU after his sophomore season for the 2015 NBA Draft.
One source said Martin has already informed LSU coach Johnny Jones of his decision, which comes as no surprise considering Martin had a strong second half of the season en route to earning first-team All-Southeastern Conference honors.
"I talked to him (Martin) tonight … he's already met with Johnny (Jones)," a source close to Martin told The Advocate. "I believe the plan is for there to be an announcement, a press conference, at either 1 o'clock or 2 o'clock (Wednesday)."
Martin led LSU in scoring with 16.9 points per game while shooting 50.9 percent from the field and ranked second to Jordan Mickey with 9.2 rebounds per game.

"Repetetive and whiny"
I don't think it could have been, the premise while at first interesting soon became trite and boring. The idea's been done better elsewhere.
Not based on this book, definately left a bad taste in my mouth.
It was as strong as the story could allow it to be.
It tried.
Out of the 15 and change hours of material, I honestly gave it till there was only about 3 and a half hours left before I gave up on it. If I had to go through one more "I hate it here, but its my family now and I'm doing good but wait I'm a slave and I need out" teeter totter ride over the course of a single chapter I would have screamed. The main character is whiny, the supporting cast is one dimensional, and the single redeeming character, Marty, is never allowed to develop to anything worthwhile... or if he is, I didn't have the patience to get there. Glad I only spent 4 dollars on this book, even happier I'm on to something better.

McCarver Elementary School Special Housing Program
McCarver Elementary School serves Tacoma's poorest population of students. It has the largest number of homeless students. Its academic outcomes are poor. It has the highest annual turnover rate of students. What caught THA's eye was the turnover rate among the students. This rate has ranged in recent years up to 179%. This rate is not caused by occupation. The McCarver population is not a farm worker population. It is not a military population. It is a population transient because of deep poverty, homelessness and housing instability, and the family challenges it can mean. This led THA to an 18 month planning effort with the Tacoma Public School District, the staff and faculty of McCarver and its parents, resulting in the McCarver Elementary School Special Housing Initiative. It has four main parts.
- Housing: To help stabilize the school, THA provides rental assistance and individualized case management to homeless families with children enrolled in kindergarten, first or second grade at McCarver. THA provides this rental assistance to fifty families. The assistance starts high, paying most of the rent. It tapers down to zero after five years.
- Parent Commitment: The Project asks parents to commit to their children's school success and their own education and employment prospects. They must keep their children enrolled at McCarver. They commit to participate actively in their children's schooling. They commit to an individual plan to make the family self-sufficient when the assistance ends. Services from THA caseworkers and over thirty nonprofit and public partners help the families meet these commitments.
- School District Investment: The Tacoma Public School District has made a substantial commitment to bring the Primary Years International Baccalaureate Program to McCarver. It also has warmly welcomed THA into the school and provide THA's caseworkers with their own office in the school.
- Evaluation: The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation funds a third party evaluation that tracks an array of outcomes. The evaluator is Geo Education & Research. Its January 2015 report on the third year of the Program is available here. It reports that school annual mobility rate declined from 107% prior to THA's initiative down to 96% after the first year and down further to 74% after the third year. In the second and third years, the cohort children sustained those gains, performing at the same level as all other children at the school. The mean earned income of the families has more than doubled since their entry into the program while the mean unearned income has remained essentially stable.

soffit vents
Hello All
I have a soffit vent question . I have a continouus soffit vent and a ridge vent , however my attic is still hot.
I recently discovered that while vinyl soffit vent runs the entire perimeter of the home, I "only" 2 in circular holes in the plywood about evey 16 inches.
A friend of mine suggust cutting a 2 to 3 in wide channel in the plywood for the entire perimenter of the home and covering with he vinyl soffit vent.
He suggest that the new channel will lower the attic tempeatature by 20 degrees in the summer
Given the limited inlformation i provided in the psot, does this make sense
Are the actual holes cleat up past the attic insulation?
If insulation is covering the holes, they do not work---adding more space will not help---since that space may also be blocked.
Calculate the area of all the holes. Then the area of the ridge vent(specs should be available on the Manuf.'s website---or a Muf. with a similar design.
If the area of the soffit holes is slightly more than the ridge vent, adding more spaces will not be needed.
If the soffit area is less, adding more hole area(enlarging the existing holes) to get just a bit more than the ridge is necessary.
BUT! The soffit vents HAVE to be clear of any obstruction(s)!!

Santos Laguna will be looking to extend their unbeaten run from eight games to nine this Friday against Atlas. Santos will be hosting Atlas at the Estadio Nuevo Corona in Torreon Mexico Friday the 20th of February. Currently both sides sit equal on points with 10 points, although Atlas are in 6th and Santos 4th. The difference between Santos and Atlas is their goal differential. Atlas have an equal number of goals scored and goals allowed to their difference, eight. Santos have outscored their opponents in Liga MX table by three goals; nine goals scored to six goals allowed.
Los Verdiblancos (the Green-and-whites) will be coming into this match against Atlas on a "high" note after defeating Atletico San Luis 3-0 at the Estadio Nuevo Corona. The last occasion that Santos dropped points occurred recently in Toluca. Diego Gonzalez was able to salvage a draw for Santos in the dying stages of the match. The last time Santos were defeated came in the beginning of the season when they were visiting Mexico City and were defeated 1-0 by Cruz Azul.
Atlas on the other hand has been enduring a rough run of form since their last victory back on the 17th of January against Morelia, 2-1. Atlas recently was defeated in their Copa Libertadores match against Colombian side Santa Fe, 0-1. The lost to the Colombians at the Estadio Jalisco in Mexico added to the woes of Atlas and their supporters during this month of February. Los Zorros really need something out of this tie against Santos especially since they will be traveling to Southeastern Brazil in their other Copa Libertadores match against Atletico Mineiro.
Los Laguneros (The Harriers) should in fact see three points easily in this match against Atlas. The last 11 occasions these two sides have met, Santos have won seven, tied three and were defeated by Los Zorros on one occasion. Here is a little piece of frivolous information, the last time Atlas defeated Santos was almost a year from Friday at the Estadio Nuevo Corona, 3-2.

The Transfer deadline day has made this Monday as chaotic and pressing for those who closely follow football at the club level. Today the good people at Puma have finally released to purchase in stores the brand new EvoPowers and a new color to the EvoSpeeds. The new EvoPower 1.2 FG boot boasts the new generation technology that aids the boot in generating more power and accuracy to ones kick.
Along with the EvoPowers Puma also released a new color scheme to their much-boasted EvoSpeeds 1.3 cleats. The boot will be kicking out the winter months mixing bright plasma, white and peacoat. The EvoSpeeds now have a bright look that will put ones opposition in awe of the bright color scheme to go along with ones speed and agility on the pitch.
One of the stand out players that sports Puma boots on the pitch is one of Chelsea's high prized midfield generals, Cesc Fabregas. When Cesc was asked about how he feels about the boot he praised the boot for being one of the most comfortable boots "he has ever worn." The Chelsea number four was asked also about if the boot has improved since its last release. Fabregas emphasized on how the cleats are "lighter now and your touch is even better now." Finally the Spanish midfielder was asked about what attribute he sees to be most important accuracy or power and which he would consider himself more, a powerful player or accurate player.
Fabregas stated "both are very important, but I believe more in accuracy because the power is more about how physically strong you are, and accuracy is about the technical ability that you have. So, I personally believe more in accuracy. I am definitely an accuracy player."
Puma also released with these boots a short film was posted to YouTube with both Cesc Fabregas and Mario Balotelli sporting the EvoPowers and its attributes to their game.
Coming soon will be thorough account of the boots…..

Voyage by Investec
Exclusively available to individuals with an annual income of £150,000 or more.
Eighteen-year-old Shafik Ali was born and brought up on the Mozart housing estate in West London. At a young age his father passed away and Shafik's role models became the drug dealers and gang members running the estate. Before he even entered his teens, Shafik's only priority was to get enough money day to day - for basic things like food and running errands for the drug pushers and the gangs. It wasn't long before Shafik began dealing in drugs - the norm in the area - to get the cash he wanted.
As Shafik himself says: "Growing up on my estate I had no role models. I wanted quick money, I wanted the clothes the drug dealers wore, I wanted to drive their cars and I wanted the money they had in their pockets, I wanted cash in my pocket and wanted it quick."
Shafik made his first court appearance for 'possession of a class A substance' when he was just 12 years old and 12 others followed over the next two years.
It was at his 13th appearance in court that he finally realised that this wasn't the way forward and there had to be another way, so he started to turn his life around. Shafik remembers the moment clearly, "I was electronically tagged and the magistrate told me if I was arrested again I'd be going to a young offenders' institute.
"The magistrate then made me turn around and look at my mum who was broken. She sat in court sobbing. They say you need to hit the ground hard enough to wake up, I hit the ground really hard that day, I was at rock bottom, but luckily for me, that set my mind towards improving my life and not ending up inside like many people I know."
Then everything changed as Shafik met James Arnold from Investec Capital Markets, UK, his mentor as recommended by Arrival Education.
When Arrival Education first approached Investec all they had was a diagram of a programme that they wanted to build some experience working in schools and with young people.
However the insights of the programme – approaching the problem of social mobility with a long-term, rigorous development process based on cutting-edge principles of leadership and success, rather than short-term programmes or simple show and tell visits – struck a chord with the team at Investec who wanted to make sure that any support would genuinely transition young people into successful adulthood, rather than simple 'show and tell' visits or superficial training which wouldn't deal with the real issues. The two organisations share similar values in terms of being entrepreneurial and placing a high value on integrity.
With Investec's support Arrival Education has built what is widely regarded as the most ambitious, innovative and impactful youth development programme in the UK, developing young people from challenging backgrounds into adults genuinely capable of success.
Shafik joined the award-winning 'Success for Life' programme, run by Arrival Education, when he was 14. The non-academic programme works with 14 – 19 year olds from disadvantaged communities across the UK, providing them with opportunities and the skills they need to do well, something that peers from more affluent families are taught by their parents. He was talked into filling in the application form and, fortunately for him, got a place. Shafik was asked what sector he may be interested in and he responded with 'finance, investment banking or business'.
Through Arrival, Shafik met James and arranged to meet him on a regular basis. Shafik still remembers his first time at Investec, in awe of the large trading floor, the huge computer screens and the action that followed.
The intention was for James to provide Shafik with inspiration to change, through his life as an accomplished banker in the City. However the journey was not as simple as that.
James remembers the first few meetings – filled with trepidation, Shafik would listen as he would try and draw him out, building trust slowly through an exchange of stories. It took a few sessions for Shafik to understand and appreciate the world that James came from and also to grant James the credibility of being a mentor irrespective of their hugely different backgrounds. James tactfully spoke about his childhood, his upbringing and the less than perfect life of a middle-class teenager. And it was through James' mistakes that Shafik discovered that change was possible.
The school noticed a radical shift in his attitude and behaviour immediately.
As Shafik himself says: "When I started the programme I still wasn't in the right mind-set to make it work and run with it. But after I hit rock bottom and realised I wanted to follow a different route, I remembered meeting some really inspirational business leaders and entrepreneurs who had £50-60 million large accounts. It showed me that life could be very different if I wanted"
A few years ago Shafik sat his GCSEs. He was expected to get a handful of C's but came away with three A stars, two A's, two B's and a distinction star. He has also completed his A – levels and got good grades in maths, physics and chemistry and is currently on a gap year working for Arrival Education while applying to study physics at university in 2013.
He concluded: "Four years ago my life was pretty much ruined. Now look at me! The programme has given me huge aspirations and opportunities I wouldn't get from anywhere else. My mum is really proud of me and my younger brother, who was beginning to follow in my footsteps, has already turned around after seeing that with the right support and opportunities, anything can be achieved.
"I still see the drug dealers and gangs I used to work with and hang around with. They've criticised me, telling me I fight on the wrong side of the war, but I say, I'm on the right side, one that might change my life. In my early teens people looked up to me in my community because I was dealing and making a little bit of quick cash. Now I want them to look up to me, and say that if this is what a young person form a west London estate could achieve and has the potential to become, then my own potential is endless."
As for James, the relationship continues beyond the scheduled period of the mentoring program. Shafik keeps in touch with James on a regular basis and goes to him for career advice. Shafik is contemplating taking a year out to get some work experience and James is the first port of call for suggestions and advice.

I noticed while looking for Old Wildfork Cem. that your page said you are looking for Poates.
Did you know that there is a Poates Rd., in Mobile, AL just off of Moffat Road? There also used to be the neatest old store on Moffat Road that their family owned.

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee approved the nomination of McKinsey executive Beth Cobert for the post of deputy director for management in the Office of Management and Budget.
She was approved by voice vote Oct. 7.
The next step is confirmation by the full Senate. Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has said there would be no votes on executive branch nominees until the partial government shutdown is over, although senators confirmed two district court nominees Oct. 7.
Federal CIO Steve VanRoekel is acting DDM. The job has been without a Senate-confirmed occupant since Jeffrey Zients was tapped to be acting director of OMB in 2012.
The DDM is central to the day-to-day operation of the federal government, with oversight of financial management, procurement, IT, regulators and activities of inspectors general. "There's not an activity that doesn't fall under the DDM," former OMB senior advisor Jonathan Bruel told FCW for an Aug. 2013 article on the post.

The drinks and apps. are really good. I would not go there specially to have dinner. Might go in the spring and fall to have drinks and apps if the outside was open.
Fantastic location-best views in the city using the outdoor, wrap-around patio! Soft drinks are super inexpensive.
The past two years, I have treated my staff of preschool teachers to a dinner out at The Uptown Social on the last day of school. It is a fun place to eat and we really enjoy sitting outside on the patio. It is on the fourth floor of the Tamiro Building in downtown Georgetown and has quite the view...
Went out with friends and we walked to Uptown Social. It is a block off the square in Georgetown on top of what has to be the tallest building in town. Food was very good and the drinks are good as well.
We went for appetizers on Saturday night. The service is great at the bar. The people are really friendly. They make the BEST Bloody Mary ever. There was a band on Saturday night that was a bit loud, but the crowd was enjoying themselves. This restaurant is on the fourth flour of a professional building, and it has the slowest...
Chicken tenders were raw! and I mean pink raw. When the manager came and asked if I wanted something different he said it would be right out. Well the rest of the table of 7 finished their meal and mine still had not come. So when we finally saw the waitress we suggested she put it in a to-go container...
My wife and I walked in thinking it was Nancy's Sky Garden (which is next door), but we weren't disappointed. Situated on the 4th floor of an office building across Austin Avenue from the famed Monument Cafe, the outdoor rooftop patio extends 270 degrees, the views of Georgetown are magnificent and the interior is clean, modern and intimate: with a...
Food is pretty good. Nothing out of this world but still a good solid pizza. The atmosphere is very nice. The views are great and the live music makes this a fun place.
Our third stop on a party night in Georgetown, we went to the Uptown Social for several nightcaps. Drinks were good, beer was frosty, staff was attractive and competent. We ordered a pizza that was as good as described.

Thomas Flint Williams, Jr. died on Wednesday, the 4th of July 2013, in Houston, at the age of 88.
Born in Waycross, Georgia, on the 10th January 1925, to Thomas Flint Williams, Sr. and Mattie Thigpen Williams, Tom graduated from Waycross High School in June 1942. He joined the US
in 1943 as a member of the Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP) and deployed to Europe with the 94th Infantry Division, where he saw action in France and Germany and, later, with the 2nd Battalion where he served in Germany and Occupied Czechoslovakia. He received a
Purple Heart
for wounds received in battle and a
Bronze Star
for outstanding leadership in combat. He was discharged by the Army on December 29, 1945; he remained in the Army ROTC and attained a rank of Commissioned 2nd Lt. before discharge on August 5, 1953. He graduated from Georgia Tech with a M.A. in Mechanical Engineering in June 1950; at Georgia Tech, Tom was active in Theta Chi Fraternity. At college, he met his first wife, Agnes Davis and they married on September 8, 1951. They moved to Houston where they began a family and he started Williams Engineering in 1961, followed by Williams Machine on Valentine's Day 1966. He was a member of The National Society of Engineers, a registered engineer in Texas and has served on several advisory committees of The American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Tom was active in The Presbyterian Church and was instrumental in beginning many churches in the South and East Texas area, especially St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, and was pleased to be of service to The Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary.
He is predeceased by his first wife, Agnes and is survived by his second wife, Mary Ruth Cotton Murray Williams, whom he married on the 17th of May 1997, and with whom he shared many wonderful adventures. He leaves behind his children and their families, Ruth Simms and husband Tom, Rachel Grimmett and husband Eric, Sara W. Hopkins, Thomas F. Williams, III, and step-son and his family, Brian Murray and wife Ninette, and their children Max and Isabella. He is also survived by his grandchildren, each of whom brought him great joy, Erica Custer and husband John, George E. Hopkins, John T. Grimmett, and John D. Simms. He leaves all too soon his great granddaughter, Lily Custer.

I know it just wouldn't be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet, but do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course?
Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid.
There's sanitary as in safe to drink.
There's sanitary as in just a small amount of bacteria that may take hold in a sugar rich solution.
Will your yeast get to that sugar first? If probably is good enough for you, use tap water.
I'll definitely try this out on my next batch! Thanks for sharing. As of now I'm just dumping trub in to mason jars and using starters to reenergize.

Raiders' renegade owner Davis dies at 82
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Al Davis was a rebel with a cause -- "Just win, baby" he exhorted his beloved Oakland Raiders.
And as the NFL well knows, he was also a rebel with a subpoena.
Davis, who bucked league authority time and again and won three Super Bowl titles during his half-century in professional football, died Saturday. He was 82.

Clickbank Pirate
- Clickbank Pirate Ratings:
- Features: 3.0/5.0
- Value: 3.0/5.0
- Support: 3.5/5.0
- Based on 3 ratings and 51 reviews
So I've been skimming through this month's upcoming IM product list. Same ol', same ol' mostly. I'm too lazy to even write about most of that. But Clickbank Pirate has caught my attention after all. And it's because I think they have something really useful to offer. I have my concerns about it too though.
First of all, they have a great concept. They too have noticed what a poor job most Clickbank merchants do when it comes to providing resources for affiliates. You're basically on your own 99% of the time out there. And that's a pity, because they would make so much more money by supporting their affiliates properly.
So Soren Jordansen & Cindy Battye have taken this fact to create a product. They took a great marketing model that list building is and applied it to several Clickbank products to offer to affiliates what the merchants don't. They have set up turn key systems, providing you even hosting and autoresponders so all you have to do is send traffic. And since everything else is done professionally, you have the best chances to convert that traffic that you could possibly get.
Now as I said, I have my concerns about it too. First of all, there's only very limited amount of these turnkey systems. They offer 5 on sign up and 1 every following month. That means, there will be a bunch of same sites competing with each other. To what extent that problem will grow depends on how active other members will be. But even having in mind that most people will do a sloppy job to compete, 5 + 1 a month is a small enough number to become a problem I think.
Another concern I have is that the great benefit of not having to lift a finger to maintain the sites and autoresponders may turn out to the worst. What if they experience technical difficulties, what if something else happens? I for one am all for as much control over my assets as possible, so I would rather maintain them myself.
There's a sneaky solution to both problems, though. Who prevents you from copying the stuff and taking it over, modifying it to make it more unique? Well, I can't confirm if Clickbank Pirate folks would be ok with that, but since we're becoming 'Pirates'…
So to conclude, I gotta say I'm rather intrigued and interested in Clickbank Pirate service. I don't recall other services that do this exact thing. There are some PLR services that partly cover it, but not consistently and with no such hands-off approach. It might very well add some to your income quite easily, so I think it's worth checking out.

Memphis airfares highest in the nation, new federal analysis finds
Memphis had the highest average airfares in the nation in three months ending June 30, the government said Tuesday.
According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the $476.22 average round-trip fare claimed the dubious distinction, edging Cincinnati by 16 cents.
Rounding out the Top 10 were Washington Dulles; Huntsville, Ala.; Houston Bush; Newark-Liberty; Harrisburg, Pa.; Knoxville; Madison, Wis.; and Cleveland, Ohio.
The high cost of flying to and from Memphis has been blamed in recent months as an economic drain.
"The leadership of the Airport Authority is not unmindful of this situation and has been for some time actively seeking to provide greater competition for our origin and destination traffic, which is the primary source for the high fares," said authority chairman Arnold Perl.
"At the same time, we have benefited greatly from having more air service per capita than most any community in the United States, including nonstop service to the principal destinations."
A hotel management company, Davidson Hotels & Resorts Inc., announced in October it was moving its headquarters and about 25 top executives to Atlanta, partially because of the Atlanta airport's superior connections.
The Folk Alliance International said it was moving its headquarters to Kansas City and scheduling annual conventions in cities with more affordable airfares.
Perl and other Memphis International Airport officials say the high fares are a function of limited competition.
Delta Air Lines operates the preponderance of flights, and has low origin and destination traffic -- people actually flying to or from Memphis. Instead, many Delta fliers are just making connections in Memphis.
Airport and Greater Memphis Chamber officials have pinned hopes for increased competition and lower fares on Southwest Airlines moving into Memphis with its soon-to-be-completed merger with AirTran. The carriers are expected to win government approval to merge operations early next year.
The BTS, an arm of the Department of Transportation, said average fares were up 9 percent in Memphis from a year earlier.
Nationwide, the bureau said average domestic airfares rose to $370 in the second quarter of 2011, up 8.5 percent from the average fare of $341 in the second quarter of 2010. Atlantic City, N.J., had the lowest fare, $205.
Flying high
Average regional round-trip airfares for area airports:
Memphis: $476.22
Knoxville: $443.72
Jackson, Miss.: $421.77
Little Rock: $405.62
Birmingham: $398.31
Louisville: $390.52
Atlanta: $375.79
Nashville: $365.19
St. Louis: $342.46

What is the age of your boat?

Well, consider that fiberglass boats have been on the market for about 50 years, and that there were probably a lot more boats built in the late 1960's and early 1970's than have been built since the 1980's (due to the cost of oil, from which the plastic if glass-fiber-reinforced plastic comes from, and due to the luxury tax that killed the boat building industry, and other factors).
So one explanation for the poll results is that there are simply a lot more older boats out there than newer boats.

Thomas Wieser, an Austrian finance official, is due to become the permanent head of two European Union committees on the front lines in combating the debt crisis, two people familiar with the decision said.
The European Union's 28 member states are on track to reach an agreement on bank resolution by the end of 2013, said Thomas Wieser, the official in charge of preparing meetings of euro-area finance ministers.
Spain's refinancing costs are too high for the country to refinance itself in the long term and the situation there is "very unpleasant," euro-area official Thomas Wieser said.
The European Union will withhold aid payments to Greece until the next review by international monitors, said Thomas Wieser, head of the group that prepares meetings for euro-area finance ministers.
Euro-area finance chiefs may grant Greece more time to meet its bailout targets even as they split on whether the country needs another debt writedown and Greek politicians squabble over further austerity measures.
Surging Spanish bond yields suggest that investors doubt the country's debt sustainability, euro- area official Thomas Wieser said.
The "troika" of the European Commission, International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank will have a permanent presence in Greece, Eurogroup Working Group head Thomas Wieser told Austria's Format magazine.
"It would be a mistake to look at a carbon copy of TARP and TALF and so on and so forth because of the very different circumstances."

Toyota hybrids power past five million mark
TOKYO -- Toyota's global sales of gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles have surpassed five million in a milestone for a technology that was initially greeted with skepticism.
The Japanese automaker, which said last week it had sold 5.125 million hybrid vehicles as of the end of March, started selling the Prius, the world's first mass-produced hybrid passenger car, in 1997. Gas-electric hybrids deliver fuel efficiency by switching back and forth between a gasoline engine and electric motor, depending on speed and other driving conditions, and recharges as it travels.
"What an achievement for this technology to have grown this widespread," said vice-chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada, known as the father of the Prius for having led the team that developed the hit model. "I believe there is a lot more room for this technology to grow," he said.
Toyota's hybrid vehicles now account for 14 per cent of its global sales and 40 per cent of its sales in Japan. Toyota Motor Corp. sells 19 hybrid passenger car models and one plug-in hybrid, and is promising 18 new hybrids from now through December 2015.
Uchiyamada recalled that expectations had been low for the hybrid to catch on.
The production plan had called for barely 1,000 cars a month, he said, and he had to beg to raise it to that from 300 a month. But when the Prius was announced, people were flocking to dealers in Japan to place their orders. And there wasn't even a sample model to check out yet in the showrooms.
When the Prius was launched in the U.S., it was again met with enthusiasm, by people Uchiyamada called "opinion leaders," including Hollywood stars.
It was almost all too good to be true, he recalled, as marketing experts had warned that Americans would likely not want a car like the Prius because gas prices were then relatively low.
Since then, gas prices have skyrocketed and nations around the world are grappling with pollution and global warming.
After the March 2011 quake, tsunami and nuclear disasters in Japan, hybrids found a new use, helping deliver electricity during blackouts in disaster zones.
The hybrid has been so successful the only obstacle for Toyota may be that many rivals are in the game now.
"Toyota has led the world on cost-effective fuel-saving hybrid technology for more than a decade, but the competition is really heating up," said David Friedman, senior engineer and deputy director of the clean vehicles program at the Union of Concerned Scientists in Washington, D.C.
The organization thinks that Honda, Toyota's Japanese rival, overall offers greener cars, despite Toyota's hybrid success.
"To stay ahead of the pack on hybrids," he said, "they will need to focus their hybrids on boosting fuel economy further and cutting costs, while picking up the pace in innovation in their conventional and electric cars."
The big growth in auto sales is coming these days from emerging markets, where hybrids have yet to catch on because of higher prices compared to gasoline-powered autos.
Uchiyamada acknowledged costs will have to come down. But he said such nations were also growing concerned about energy efficiency and emissions and they need to offer incentives, or subsidies, for consumers so they can buy hybrids.
"Hybrids have now become a core technology," he said.

Tampa's Tyler Johnson an unlikely rookie of the year candidate
Everywhere he's gone, Tyler Johnson has been told he's too short for hockey.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Everywhere he's gone, Tyler Johnson has been told he's too short for hockey.
Cut by a USHL team, undrafted by the NHL, the 5-foot-9 Johnson bounced from tryout camp to tryout camp, eventually landing with Tampa Bay Lightning organization.
Now Johnson could be said to be having the last laugh. Filling in admirably for the injured Steve Stamkos, Johnson has put himself into the rookie of the year conversation. His 17 goals and 18 assists have him second only to Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon — the much heralded top pick in the June draft — in rookie scoring.
"I'm just playing with good players, that's the only reason my name is up there," says the humble 23-year-old. "Without them, there's no way I could be doing what I'm doing. I'm just happy the way Im playing right now, helping the team win."
Size is the only knock on Johnson. Everywhere he's gone, he's been a winner and a top producer. His 2008 Spokane Chiefs won the Memorial Cup and he was named tournament MVP. He won gold with Team USA at the 2010 world junior tournament.
He got NHL tryouts with Phoenix and Minnesota, both of whom passed. After a 115-point season with Spokane in his final year of junior, he finally caught on with Tampa. The Lightning assigned him to the Norfolk Admirals and his team went on to win the Calder Cup, emblematic of AHL supremacy.
It was there that he began a relationship with Jon Cooper, now the coach of the Lightning.
"You can't surround yourself with enough guys like that," said Cooper. "He just doesn't take no for an answer. He's very much in the same realm as our captain (Martin St. Louis). A lot of similarities there in compete level, their work ethic, how they prepare.
"It doesn't matter the obstacle in their way, they're going to find a way to go over it or through it. The fact they play on a line together has helped his growth in the NHL. Two similar paths."
Indeed, the 5-foot-8 St. Louis was never drafted and has gone on to become one of the most prolific scorers in NHL history.
"Big guys always have to play themselves off teams," says Gordon. "Little guys always have to play themselves on.
"That's just sports."
The Bolts have a history of getting the most out of vertically challenged hockey players, overlooking their lack of size if it is made up for in grit, heart and skill. That's part of the reason he signed with Tampa.
"I was fortunate to have a good 20-year-old year," said Johnson. "I had teams come up to me. It was a tough decision to decide who I'd go with. In the end, I thought Tampa would be the best fit for me."
Johnson is glad he never gave up, and even — looking back — glad he was never drafted.
"You never want to say you're surprised because obviously you have expectations of yourself," he said.
"Looking back, it's probably a good thing for me to get passed over. I've had those extra years, that extra time to mature. Then I had my own choice to make, which was awesome. It's a tough thing to go through at the time."

Smell of death greets UN monitors in Syrian town
BEIRUT Smoldering buildings, looted shops, smashed cars and a strong stench of death greeted U.N. observers who entered the nearly deserted Syrian town of Haffa on Thursday, a day after President Bashar Assad's forces overran it as part of a major offensive to recover rebel-controlled territories.
The monitors had been trying to get into the town for a week after fears were raised that a brutal assault by regime forces was under way. They found the main hospital burned, state buildings and an office of the ruling Baath party in ruins and a corpse lying in the street.
"A strong stench of dead bodies was in the air," said Sausan Ghosheh, spokeswoman for the U.N. observers. She said there was still fighting in some pockets of the mountainous town in the seaside province of Latakia.
The number of casualties was unclear, Ghosheh said, and it appeared likely that, as in the past, bodies had been removed or buried before the U.N. mission got in.
The siege of Haffa, a Sunni-populated village, had become a focus of international concern because of fears the uprising against Assad is evolving into a sectarian civil war pitting his minority Alawite sect against the majority Sunnis and other groups. Recent mass killings in other Sunni-populated areas have fed those concerns.
The fighting, now mostly quelled in Haffa, was mirrored in other parts of Syria, where more than 40 civilians and opposition fighters were killed Thursday, according to activists, alongside more than a half-dozen Syrian forces.
From the day's early hours, Syrian troops bombarded rebel-held areas with tanks, mortars and helicopters in the central town of Rastan, the Damascus suburb of Douma, the central city of Homs and the northern towns of Anadan and Hreitan, near the Turkish border, the activists said.
They said the fighting included clashes in the town of Hamuriya, near Damascus, that killed at least nine men who were allegedly butchered with knives. A video circulated by activists showed a pile of lifeless men, including one who was clearly slashed through the neck.
"Slaughter, slaughter!" a person could be heard screaming in the background. Another video showed a man lying in a garden, his arm blown off. There was no way to independently confirm the content of the videos because reporters are not allowed to work freely in Syria.
For more than a week, Syrian troops have been sweeping through villages and towns in Syria's northern, central, southern and seaside provinces, attacking rebel-held areas and opposition strongholds in what appears to be the largest offensive since an internationally-brokered cease-fire went into effect two months ago. The regime and the opposition have both largely ignored the April 12 truce.
The U.N. observers' description of the smoldering ruins they found in Haffa suggested Syrian forces were using intense force to quell rebels. But it also indicated the rebels were determined to smash all symbols of the hated Assad regime, including state institutions.
"Most government institutions, including the post office, were set on fire from inside," Ghosheh said in a statement. "Archives were burnt, stores were looted and set on fire."
