Fleur de Lis: Wilier
Selle Italia Gel saddle recovered for Matt's new Wilier. The fleur de lis, or Florentine Lily in Italian, motif is adapted from the Wilier logo. The bike has the Italian green, white and red as a small detail near the fork tip as do Matty's new shoes. He's going to be nicely (but subtly) coordinated.

The season finale of Grimm is called "Goodnight, Sweet Grimm" and we can expect it next Tuesday, May 21. Here's how NBC describes it:
THE ROYALS BRING THEIR AGENDA FOR NICK TO PORTLAND - JAMES FRAIN AND SHOHREH AGHDASHLOO GUEST STAR -- Just when things look like they're back to normal with Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch), Nick (David Giuntoli) is called to investigate a flurry of rage-fueled assaults happening all over Portland. He goes to Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) for help battling Portland's newest wave of "undead." As if that weren't enough, Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz) informs Nick that his brother Eric (guest star James Frain) is in town on family business. Meanwhile, Stefania (guest star Shohreh Aghdashloo) and Frau Pech methodically use their alliances with Adalind (Claire Coffee) to battle one another. Russell Hornsby and Reggie Lee also star.

When there's a tie, can the money be split between the winners or be returned to the owner, instead of going into a common pot?

If possible, add a confirmation for messages being sent to everyone as opposed to an individual player. Such a confirmation could be set as a personal preference so those that don't mistakenly send public messages won't be annoyed at the extra click. I know I've lost a few games from missending, and would have such an option always on.

Park of dreams remains that way
Dorian Hargrove 11:30 a.m., April 27
Synthesizer maestro and resident alien of alienation, Gary Numan's music was, and is, dark, strong, and rich — goth when goth wasn't cool. He took time from touring behind his new album, Splinter (Songs from a Broken Mind), for some email questions. He plays March 5 at Belly Up.
What are your memories of playing San Diego?
"I do remember the gigs have always gone well, so that's a good thing. My best memory, though, is hanging out by the beach and just enjoying what is a very cool place to be."
How has your stage show evolved over the years?
"My personal performance has become more animated, more aggressive, more energetic. Before, I would be totally aware of the audience and easily distracted. These days I lose myself in the moment. I suppose I have a lot of confidence and knowledge now that I didn't have back then. I've been doing this for about 35 years, so it's not surprising that it feels like second nature now."
"Cars" is the song most Americans know you by. Does it become more or less of a chore to get through that one onstage?
"I've learned to appreciate it. It is so famous now, so successful, that it seems ridiculous for me to grumble about having to keep playing it. It isn't the highlight of the live set, though."
How has relocating to America come along? Are you settling in?
"We've all settled in very well and love living in California. We have a very lovely house, close to the school the children go to, a short drive from Hollywood in one direction, Malibu in another. We are all very happy we made the move. The most obvious difference from England is the weather and the things that you can fill each day of your life with in a warm climate. I lost so many valuable days in England sitting indoors looking out at yet another rain-soaked day. I felt my life was just wasting away. In the U.S. I live life far more fully."
Do your daughters ever watch your stage show and/or old performance footage?
"They have been to see me play live many times. They dance around and cheer. It's a lovely thing to see and makes me pretty teary-eyed if I'm truthful. They say kind things but in reality they really love Katy Perry, Rihanna, and Beyoncé."

One day while Scott is placed in the center of left field, a fly ball comes his way which he misses in catching it. Naturally, such a mistake might have ended his participation with the sandlot team if it were not for the kindness of Benjamin Rodriguez who diplomatically instructs Scott what is important with regard to the game of baseball. As a result of the kindness of Rodriguez, Scott has one of the most memorable summers of his youth.
"The Sandlot" is representative of summertime adolescent memories. The youths play the sport every single day. Occasionally, the crew visits the local swimming area where it is they daydream about the female lifeguard on duty.
On one occasion, the team's ball goes over the fence. There is this perception of what is considered "The Beast" in the film. "The Beast" is a scary apparatus and merely a figment of the adolescents' imaginations. Scott saves the team from inhabiting the area of "The Beast." He subsequently runs home and attains his step-dad's baseball. The ball however is autographed by baseball legend Babe Ruth. Of course to Scotty the name Babe Ruth is not of any consequence. He is unaware of the value of the baseball. The valuable ball is, next, batted over the fence. It is during this event that the other team members explain to the naïve Scott why it is his stepfather is not going to be all too happy the prized ball has become food for "The imagined Beast." The other boys are aware of the baseball legend.
The events of the movie unfold in an inventive, kind of outside-of-the-box manner. This is obviously deliberate: that is, the exaggeration of the storytelling. (An example is the kids' imaginations of "The Beast" which is the scary creature who eats their baseballs for lunch when it is their balls travel over the fence.)
It is not a typical kid's movie. There is not even a scene where the movie's sandlot team wins the big game. They cannot win a big game because "The Big Game" is not even part of the storyline. The film is about growing up.
The director of the movie is David Mickey Evans. He co-wrote the film's script with Robert Gunter. The memories of the film are distinct; and its events: significant.
The refreshing bit about the film is it is not about winning or losing: it is simply about being a kid. It is further about what matters most to a kid; on the outside of becoming a teenager-- that imagination is more important, sometimes, than whether you win or lose a game.

Brecksville Bees escapes overtime with win over Westlake Demons
An overtime three-shot from Matt Csuhran, a key inside hoop from Mark Chrzanowski, free throws by Timmy Tupa, and tough defense sealed the win for the Bees. The three lead the team in scoring with 18, 19, and 20 points respectively.
"Brecksville is a great team, we know that," acting Westlake head coach Dave Fazeka said. "Interestingly enough, our seniors have been playing them for ten years — it's the same guys and I coached against them. Ironically with me doing this it was the same guys the last ten years. They're really good."
Westlake senior Danny Strodtbeck sank four 3-point shots and Shawn Turk two 3s to keep the Demons close to the Bees all night.
"We knew we had to bring intensity, go to the glass, get some rebounds, hit a few shots. I couldn't be any prouder of our boys," Fazeka said. "Considering the circumstances, they played amazingly well, they gave it everything they had. If we lose in overtime to what is the number one seed in our district — we played alright.
Brecksville head coach Steve Mehalik agreed.
"It's always close," Mehalik said. "They're a very good basketball team, very physical, very strong, and they know how to defend. Even without Skelly, we knew it was going to be a battle because they're winners. They are winners in the locker room, they're well coached, and we just survived."
At the end of the opening quarter, it appeared Brecksville had control of the game being up ten points early.
"We wanted to pressure them, and we did early and it worked," Mehalik said. "But they had guys step up: Strodtbeck hit some big shots, Shawn Turk just played the best game of his career tonight. Shawn's a good kid and he carried them for a long stretch. Finally down the stretch, our good players made some plays and we survived some heated tempers. It was a good win for the Bees."
"Hats off to the Brecksville coaching staff," Fazeka said. "They played tough and they throw some things at you that — it's never the same thing. From our side, we only played eight guys because we have so many injuries right now, Gavin (Skelly) was out. I was so proud of Tyler (Zack), he hasn't played much this year, but that just go to show you what happens when you work hard and you stay with it. He hit a huge 3-point shot when things could have went the wrong way. He had his head up all year and he earned his moment for sure. Again, my seniors — I've been coaching them since they were in the third grade — so this was kind of a surreal moment. I commend both teams, everyone made a difference."
The Demons will play their final game at their gym against Lorain tonight at 7:30 p.m.
"We have to think about tomorrow already," Fazeka said. "As I look around this gym, I didn't grow up in Westlake, but I've been coaching for ten years in this gym. Again, when Shawn Turk and Bryan MacKenzie were in third grade, and I can't believe tomorrow night I'm going to coach my last game here. It's really strange to think of. I know it's a special night for this community. Strangely enough, I grew up in Lorain so the fact were playing Lorain — I don't know what's going on. Tomorrow night is going to be special for everybody being that this is the last game to ever be played here by a Westlake team. We'll be ready."
Part of Bee's edge Friday came from the line; they shot 75 percent. After Turk sank a three-pointer with just seconds left in regulation, Chrzanowski dropped two free throws to take the match into overtime.
"We've been struggling from the line, so to make them here says a lot," Mehalik said. "It was a hard-fought game on both ends and you have no energy left, so to make those free throws, I think we're getting better."
"Timmy Tupa — the way he handles the ball and creates for us, we can't do anything without him. Our two big guys, Mark Chrzanowski and Matt Csuhran, at times kind of disappeared, but down the stretch they made huge plays. Our freshman that we played there at the end — Tyler Tupa — almost had a game-winning steal and bucket. He's not a freshman, he's a pretty darn goodplayer.
"Hopefully we play each other again, in the district final. It would be nice to get a team from the SWC out to the Regionals."
The win improves the Bees' record to 15-2 ovrall and 12-1 in the Southwestern Conference. Westlake drops to 12-6 with the loss.

Africa and the Middle East have driven a rise in exports of food and non-alcoholic drinks from the UK in the first half of 2012, figures show.
For the six months to the end of June, food and soft drinks exports increased by 2.2% to GBP5.9bn (US$9.6bn), the UK Food and Drink Federation (FDF) said today (28 September).
Exports to Africa and the Middle East jumped by almost 24% and 18% respectively, offsetting mixed demand across the European Union.
Chocolate was the main beneficiary of growth, with export sales up by 31% to GBP239m over the same period of 2011, said the trade body. United Arab Emirates was a strong chocolate importer and also bought more than double the amount of UK fish and seafood than in the first half of 2011.
However, fish and seafood was one of the biggest fallers over the half-year period. According to category-by-category figures, fish exports dropped by around 6% to GBP656m.
At the other end, cereals and bakery exports rose by 6% to break the GBP1bn barrier, while fruit and vegetable exports jumped by a quarter to GBP629m.
The FDF's commercial services manager, Steve Barnes, said: "Our brands have strong reputations in international markets and it is a credit to our manufacturers that despite difficulties experienced in many key EU markets, they have continued to drive forward sales by making in-roads into new markets."
uk food & drink exports stay upbeat in 2012
Friday 28 September 2012
Today, the Food and Drink Federation (FDF) has reported that UK food and non-alcoholic drink exports have continued to grow in 2012, rising to £5.9bn in the first six months of the year – an increase of 2.2% on the same period in 2011.
FDF's latest update also found that exports to all non-EU regions, apart from those surrounding the Eurozone, were in growth of over 7%. The EU fared less well with a rise of 0.7%, largely due to the Eurozone debt crisis which has resulted in sharp falls in exports to some key markets, namely France and Italy.
Outside of the EU, the strongest gains were in Africa (+23.6%) and the Middle East (+17.7%). Within the Middle East there were significant increases in exports to the United Arab Emirates, which rose 37.8% to £80m, due to strong demand for chocolate (+169%) and fish and seafood (+151%).
Categories going up:
Chocolate: +31% to £239m
Cheese: +2.5% to £200m
Sauces and condiments: +8.2% to £110m
Cakes: +11.8% to £94m
Sugar confectionery: +4.4% to £80m
Top markets:
United Arab Emirates: +37.8% to £80m
Saudi Arabia: +24.5% to £66m
Hong Kong: +20.2% to £64m
Germany: +16% to £585m
Portugal: +12.5% to £66m
FDF's Economic and Commercial Services Director, Steve Barnes, said:
"Once again, UK food and drink exports have proven themselves to be an important component of both our industry, and the country's economic growth, and an area in which we can excel. This is why we are working with Government and others to remove barriers and to strengthen support for food and drink companies looking to export."
"Our brands have strong reputations in international markets and it is a credit to our manufacturers that despite difficulties experienced in many key EU markets, they have continued to drive forward sales by making in-roads into new markets."

9 Rules For A Really Big Corgi Meetup At The Beach
Essential reading for your next corgi meetup at the beach.
1. Rule 1: Look really, really irresistibly cute.
This shouldn't be hard for you.
You're going to meet A LOT of new corgis today, so it is very important that you don't look like a bum. Wear your nicest bandanna and make sure it's clean. Ain't nobody got time for a dirty bandanna.
2. Rule 2: Bring YOUR OWN goggles.
You don't want to be that annoying corgi who's always asking to borrow other corgis' goggles. Those corgis are the worst.
4. And yes, there will be other corgis without life jackets. They are wrong. Wearing a life jacket IS cool!
5. Rule 4: Tire yourself out.
The day is yours. Your human will be super happy at the end of the day when you're looking all adorable and sleepy.
8. Rule 6: Don't be a show-off.
There's no need for a dramatic sand dive. No one wants to see that.
11. Who knows? Maybe one of these new corgis will be a lifelong friend? You'll never know unless you try.
They will make you famous. That means higher quality snacks from your humans.
Note: All of these pictures are from a corgi meetup on Fiesta Island in San Diego.

1899 time capsule to go on display
Last updated at 20:34, Thursday, 10 May 2012
Objects from 1899 which were found hidden in the wall of a youth club in Seaton have become the focal point of an exhibition to mark Local History Month.
Malcolm Harwood, 63, of Coronation Avenue, discovered a time capsule at the former reading room on Main Street when the walls were being re-plastered in 2009.
It contained objects including a copy of the West Cumberland Times, the predecessor of the Times & Star, and a poster advertising a concert on April 6, 1899.
It was put there to mark the laying of the reading room's foundation stones.
Malcolm, a volunteer at Seaton Club for Young People, donated the objects to the library, where they are now displayed.
They are the centrepiece of an exhibition running at the library throughout this month.
Other items on display include a child's dress from 1885 and a wedding dress from 1915, donated by Mary Johnson, the mother-in-law of library assistant-in-charge Teresa Johnson.
Teresa said: "The plan is to have the time capsule here permanently so that everyone in Seaton can come and view it. I hope people will come in and see the heritage of the village. They will see that there was a lot going on in Seaton in 1899."

Centennial Parade launches Oak Cliff home tour, festivalThe Dallas Morning News - Sunday, September 23, 1990Author: John Yearwood, Staff Writer of The Dallas Morning News: THEIt didn't take 7-year-old Phillip Keaton long to decide what he liked most in the Oak Cliff Centennial Parade on Saturday."I loved the army tanks and the guns,' said Phillip, waving an American flag as members of the Texas Army National Guard passed by.The parade, which traveled through downtown Oak Cliff to Kidd Springs Park, was held to celebrate the community's founding and kick off the 16th Annual Old Oak Cliff Home Tour and Fall Festival. It was sponsored by the Jefferson Area Association and the Old Oak Cliff Conservation League .About 2,000 people lined Jefferson Boulevard to watch the marchers."It was short, but it was nice,' said Pat Keaton, Phillip's mother, who had her 2-year-old daughter, Amy, and two friends in tow."It got us out of the house, and we are having fun together,' said Ms. Keaton, who lives in far southeast Dallas.Almost 40 groups took part in the parade, including neighborhood associations, school bands and the Texas Army National Guard.The National Guard contingent included an armored personnel carrier, a truck and a Tow Trak tank. The tank is similar to ones deployed in the Middle East, said Staff Sgt. Pedro Arriola."We do about 12 parades a year,' Sgt. Arriola said.

Journalist and historian Boris Kagarlitsky is an adviser to the Russian
Duma and Senior Research Fellow, Institute for Comparative Political Studies,
Russian Academy of Sciences. He is a prominent figure in the Russian New
Left, and his works include The Dialectic of Change and The Thinking
Reed. He traveled to Washington and addressed the House Banking
Subcommittee on September 10, 1998. His remarks went unreported in the U.S.
press, and will be reprinted here in two parts, in today's and Friday's
First of all I want to stress that it would be highly inappropriate to characterize
IMF credits to Russia as "aid." These are credits for which Russia
has to pay. Though these credits seem cheaper than those taken on the financial
markets, the Russian government has to accept the conditions formulated
by IMF ideologues and policy-makers.
So far Russia has in general followed the instructions of the IMF and
other international financial institutions. There have been minor disagreements,
but basically the IMF has accepted and supported the economic policies of
the Russian government, while the Russian government has accepted the basic
principles and advice of the IMF decision-makers. These decisions resulted
in the current chaos, which has not only led to the total collapse of the
Russian economy, something unprecedented in peacetime, but also is bringing
the whole world economy closer to recession.
The collapse of the debt market in the first half of August came even though
the International Monetary Fund had just begun payments to Russia from one
of the largest economic "rescue" packages in history. Along with
the devaluation that followed, the crash marked the definitive failure of
the key strategies that the IMF and major world governments had urged on
Moscow throughout much of the 1990s.
The Russian government never discussed its economic programs with its own people or parliament. It was always the IMF to which all the basic documents were addressed. It was the IMF that systematically worked with the Russian elites, advised them and publicly supported them. The leaders of the Russian Central Bank who are personally responsible for the financial catastrophe in today's Russia have always enjoyed political support from the IMF experts, who have stressed the "professionalism" of their Russian colleagues.
The policies of the IMF were based on the assumption that a stronger
currency automatically leads to a stronger economy. The currency should
be strengthened at whatever price, including the decline of production,
the impoverishment of the population and even the disappearance of most
basic services in the spheres of healthcare, education and social security.
The IMF ideologues were sure that the emission of paper money by the national
government was the only source of inflation. At the same time they did not
see government borrowing as a potential source of inflation. The Russian
government even registered borrowed money in 1997 as "budget revenues."
The IMF theorists also insisted that privatization would lead automatically
to better management of industries and lower government spending.
As early as 1992--93 these measures had disastrous
consequences. As was recognised in a report issued in 1994 by former privatization
agency head Viktor Polivanov, the quality of management in practice either
remained the same or declined. No big company had shown any visible improvement
in performance. At the same time the government lost the revenues from profitable
public companies, which had earlier been the main source of its income.
The new owners were incompetent, often lacked capital for necessary investment,
and turned the companies into semifeudal personal domains. In many cases
the old Soviet bureaucracy remained in charge, but the old Soviet system
of external control disappeared. Of course there were also success stories,
but mainly in small companies that were not capital-intensive.
While the performance of privatized companies generally deteriorated, the
state faced a permanent budget crisis. Totally in agreement with IMF instructions,
the government saw taxes as the only legitimate source of income, but the
taxes never came. In order to cover the budget deficit, the government had
to cut services and increase taxes. That inevitably led to an even greater
decline of business activity. The purchasing power of the population remained
low, private investment was almost non-existent, and public investment constantly
declined. The paradox, however, is that given the lack of private investment,
the state, no matter how it reduced its spending, remained the main investor
in the economy.
In the years between 1994 and 1998, however, the government managed to stabilize
the ruble. The methods used were government borrowing on the international
and domestic financial markets, and non-payment of wages. By August 1, 1998,
there were 75.84 billion rubles of unpaid wages in the country (that is
approximately $12.5 billion). Today the administration in Russia pretends
that enterprise managers are the only ones to blame for the wage arrears.
While it is clear that the non-payment of wages played a decisive role in
the supposedly successful fight against inflation, it is simply not true
that the blame for non-payments lies exclusively with the managers of private
companies; 19.6 percent of this money should have come from the budget.
The non-payment of wages lowered the purchasing power of the population and reduced the quantity of money in circulation. That helped to stabilize prices. Even if we abstain from discussing the moral side of these practices, it is clear that they also led to the gradual disintegration of the internal market and to a further decline in production (the data concerning wage arrears in Russia are provided as a supplement to this text). Though the Russian government and international financial institutions proclaimed the beginning of economic growth in 1997, the reality was quite different. The growth last year was supposed to have been 0.5 percent, but the government statisticians themselves admitted that their figures were only accurate to within plus or minus 2 percent! The best interpretation you could put on things was that during 1997 decline was replaced by stagnation. Then in the spring of 1998 the economy again started to contract. According to information provided by the trade unions, the real incomes of working people declined by 9 percent in the first half of 1998 alone. Wage arrears increased as well, with the state's wage debt growing at more than twice the rate of arrears as a whole (the state's wage debt in August was up by 14.6 percent over the July figure, compared with an overall rise of 6.5 percent).
Worst hit were services such as health care (a 33 percent increase in
non-payments), culture and arts (28 percent), education (17 percent), housing
(10 percent), science and research programs (7 percent) and communal services
(3.8 percent). The living conditions of the people deteriorated, and at
the same time public services were cut. That meant that where the state
stopped providing services no private investor moved in, because people
simply had no money with which to pay. The schools do not have enough textbooks,
school buildings are falling apart, and in many villages local schools are
simply closing down. The number of high school students has also declined.
Government borrowing became a sort of drug to which the ruling elites became
addicted. At the urging of its foreign advisers, the government created
a market in short-term state bonds. Sales of these bonds would allow the
government to lower its deficits and dampen price rises. Lower inflation,
the economic ministers gambled, would encourage investment and lead to economic
growth, and as the tax system improved, to steadily increasing state revenues.
These, it was hoped, would allow the government to service the additional
In fact, this diagram turned out to be full of short circuits.
The lenders --- at first exclusively Russian financial
institutions, but later including many foreigners ---
understood from the first that lending to the Russian government was a risky
proposition. If they were to play an increasingly hazardous game of financial
roulette, they demanded big returns. Real annual rates of interest in the
Russian bond market at times exceeded 100 percent.
If the state was prepared to give lenders high returns on loans for three
or six months, why would they invest in long-term projects, where they would
have to leave their money for years, endure risks that were just as hair-raising,
and have much lower returns at the end of it? So private investment in the
real economy was virtually wiped out. Economic decline continued, halting
only for a period from mid-1997. The government was hooked on short-term
debt. The only way it could meet the payments on its bonds was to borrow
ever more money. Like every drug addict, the administration was not only
incapable of imagining life without borrowing, but also needed ever-greater
doses of loan funds. The state's financial operations came to resemble the
notorious "pyramid scheme" investment funds of the early 1990s,
through which Russia's gullible and reckless were stripped of their cash.
Inevitably, the point finally came where there was simply no money in the
budget to continue servicing the debt. In mid-1998 it was announced that
no less than 30 percent of the budget was being used for that purpose. Economists
calculated that if this trend continued, by the year 2000 more than 60 percent
of the budget would go there.
Now, the Russian government's economic ministers in the early 1990s had
watched the growth and collapse of the pyramid schemes with as much horror
as anyone else. Why did they then go and blunder their way into the same
kind of mess? A great deal of the blame lies with the IMF. Not only did
the IMF encourage the Russian leaders in the illusion that squashing inflation
would automatically lead to growth, but IMF spokespeople also fed the misconception
that if things went wrong, there'd be plenty of money in the world financial
system to bail the Russians out.
The Russian government, of course, didn't rely only on borrowed money to
lower its deficits. The screws went on government spending, including public
investment. But meanwhile, the spending of financial institutions both private
and public was a bacchanalia of waste. Huge skyscrapers were built by the
Russian Central Bank and the publicly owned State Savings Bank. Staff numbers
mushroomed, and salaries increased. The Russian press now tells us that
money borrowed from the IMF was used to pay for all these luxuries. However
the IMF and its experts in Russia never questioned the expenses of the banking
institutions. They only stressed the need to spend less on education, social
welfare, healthcare etc.
It is important to note that the finance ministry was one of the most
corrupt institutions of the Russian regime, which is anyway famous for corruption.
Officials of the ministry are now being investigated, and some arrests have
already been made (for example, Deputy Minister of Finance Vladimir Petrov).
No doubt more will follow.
Misuse of the funds provided by international financial institutions is
well known; it has been reported in the Russian press and discussed in the
parliament. Perhaps the most impressive example was when $5 billion provided
by the World Bank for the restructuring of the coal industry simply disappeared.
The Chechen war didn't stop IMF and other international lenders either.
It is very clear that credits given to the Yeltsin regime were used to guarantee
the government's political survival in a context of growing resistance.

by Boris Kagarlitsky
The following selection concludes the testimony given by Russian journalist and historian Boris Kagarlitsky to the House Banking Subcommittee on September 10, 1998.
The conditions that the IMF, the World Bank or other Western financial institutions have placed on their Russian counterparts have never meant very much. How can you talk about due safeguards when it is a notorious fact that capital flight from Russia has far exceeded the sums provided as credits by international financial institutions and world financial markets? To a large extent, this is the same money which immediately leaves the country through private banks working with government agencies. It is impossible to imagine that IMF experts are not aware of these facts, which every shopkeeper in Moscow knows about. On the contrary, Western experts always insisted on open markets and liberal regulations of international financial transactions. In Russian conditions, open markets and liberal regulations on international financial transactions mean not only a green light for capital flight, but also excellent prospects for the Mafia. It is no accident that Russian financial markets have become one of the main centers of money laundering for international drug dealers. But none of this has stopped the IMF and similar institutions from insisting that controls be kept loose.
Foreign credits did not save Russia. They did not prevent the current crisis. On the contrary they provoked it. At the same time, the conditions imposed on Russia by the IMF and other international financial institutions prevented Russian decision-makers from seeking realistic solutions to the country's problems using domestic resources, which even now are impressive. The IMF created the situation in which banks and trade grew at the expense of industry, in which the enormous possibilities of the public sector were wasted, and in which Russia developed an entrepreneurial community totally uninterested in long-term domestic economic projects.
It is quite possible that the chief concern of the IMF decision-makers
was not the success of Russia but the prosperity of the Western financial
community, which made a lot of money out of our crisis. But if the IMF chiefs
take this attitude, they are extremely shortsighted. Today's collapse of
the ruble shows that the compradora economy which emerged in our country
is a problem not only for us, but for others as well. American companies
are not making money in Russia any more, but are losing it.
In 1994--97 the ruble was strengthened against Western
currencies. Inflation fell, to about 14 percent in 1997. Commentators wrote
glowingly of "stabilization." But the crunch was approaching.
In May of this year, as investment analysts weighed the Russian government's
real chances, the stock market collapsed.
Foreign investors began a stampede to get their money out of the country. The government's financial position was now dire. "Each week we were paying 6 to 7 billion rubles [a little over US$1 billion] in state short-term bonds, or 35 billion a month," former prime minister Sergey Kiriyenko recalled after his ouster. "But our entire budget receipts in May were only 20--21 billion." Wage arrears spiraled upward, as funds needed for state payrolls were diverted to debt servicing; workers' protests multiplied as a result.
Efforts to improve tax collection yielded only mediocre results.
Meanwhile, potential lenders were losing their nerve. Even at astronomical
interest rates, offerings of state bonds began to be ignored.
To pay off maturing bonds and prevent a collapse of the ruble, the state authorities began massive sales of foreign currency. This, however, was a desperate resort that could not be sustained for more than a few months. To restore confidence and allow bond sales to resume, the government began seeking a huge loan from international financial agencies. Lengthy petitioning resulted in a pledge of US$22.6 billion, mostly from the International Monetary Fund, in mid-July.
Towards the end of July the IMF delivered the first tranche of its money. In the weeks that followed a reported US$3.8 billion in IMF loan funds was handed over to the bondholders. Then the debt pyramid shattered.
Although this collapse was a mathematical certainty, various factors helped decide the timing. The one cited most often was a sharp dip, in early August, in already weak world prices for the crude oil that is Russia's largest export earner. But even before this, the broader Russian economy had begun to sag. According to official figures, Russian GDP in July slumped to a level 4.5 percent below that of the same month a year earlier. Industrial output was down by 9.4 percent on July 1997, and agricultural production by a catastrophic 16.7 percent. The steepening decline in the real economy increased pressures on the banking sector at the same time that state short-term bonds were becoming near-worthless as a source of liquidity. So long as bankers had felt reasonably certain that the state would pay out on the bonds, a standard way for banks to raise cash had been to sell bonds or to use them as collateral for loans. But as the bankers analyzed the government's financial position early in August, their jitters turned to panic. Suddenly, many Russian banks were in acute financial trouble.
Further efforts to prop up the ruble were now doomed. The government could devalue the currency immediately, and keep its remaining reserves of gold and foreign currency intact, or put the devaluation off for perhaps four or five months, by which time the country would have lost its reserves for good.
The pyramid of Russian state debt, built up on the same principles as the private pyramids in Russia and Albania, finally crumbled.
Dumbfounded bankers learned that the government would not pay out on its bonds. Instead of money, it would give the banks new state securities that were supposed to be even more valuable. Payments on the private foreign debts of Russian firms were frozen for 90 days.
Today a crisis of the elites is unfolding in Russia. Neither the collapse of the economy, nor the impoverishment of the population, nor the drawn-out slide in production has posed serious problems for this layer of Russians. They have been preoccupied with other matters.
However bad things have become in the country, their aims have been fulfilled. The richest resources have been seized and divided up, and the demands of Western financial institutions have been satisfied. But it has finally proven impossible to continue along this path. The banking system is quickly becoming ungovernable, demonstrating the truth of the well-known Marxist thesis that the state of production determines the state of finances, and not the other way round. Seized with foreboding, Western investors are rushing to scoop up their money and quit the country. Yeltsin is hastily reorganizing the security forces, which are bearing more and more of a resemblance to the Soviet KGB.
Market mechanisms are paralyzed, and the Russian capitalist class (if there ever was such a thing) is bankrupt both politically and economically. The dominant mood is anger. No one has any trust in the official institutions. Most of support for Yeltsin is now external. This means that the International Monetary Fund and G7, which supported him, gave him money, and dictated his economic policies, are in crisis as well.
The IMF gave its money in the form of loans, and these still have to be paid back. But the way things are turning out, the repayment of the loans could be in question. It is worth reminding the Western bankers that after the fall of the Romanov dynasty, there was no one to pay back the debts of the tsar.
The IMF, however, only recently gave Russia a new credit, in order to stave off devaluation. And even after the crash of the ruble, it seems, the IMF will continue to hand over money. The fund simply has no other choice. But in order to lend money, it first of all has to get it from somewhere else. The directors of the fund have already passed the hat around, seeking additional contributions from donor countries, above all the US. The directors of the IMF are in the same trap as the Russian government. They are the hostages of earlier decisions, and above all, the hostages of neoliberalism. The US government is in the trap as well. The cost of maintaining "stability" in Russia is rising all the time. The "taxi principle" that operates here was familiar to Soviet citizens as far back as the time of Brezhnev --- the longer the ride, the higher the fare. And the financial resources of the US are not limitless.
During the 1990s the neoliberal economic model has been implemented on a global scale. As a result, the IMF and the World Bank have begun to play approximately the same role on a global scale that the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union once played for the "communist bloc." IMF and World Bank experts decide what to do with the coal industry in Russia, how to reorganize companies in South Korea, and how to manage enterprises in Mexico. Despite all that is said about the "free market," world practice has never before known such centralization. Even Western governments are forced to reckon with this parallel authority. But this spectacular success has given birth to no less spectacular problems of the type that are inherent to any hyper-centralized system. The point is not that the neoliberal model of capitalism dooms most of humanity to hopeless poverty, and the countries of the "periphery" to dependency on those of the "center." Such "moral" and "ideological" issues cannot disturb "serious people." The trouble is that the price of mistakes is becoming unbelievably high. The huge resources at the disposal of the IMF make it possible to "stabilize" the situation and the Soviet Union collapsed.
In Russia, the international financial institutions are not passive onlookers. They bear full responsibility for what is done in our country. All the major decisions that led to the present crisis were cleared with them. The policies of the present day are being agreed with them, too. This is why they will do their utmost to maintain the present state of play. It may be a comfort to our national pride to know that the IMF is more interested in Russia than in some African country impoverished under the fund's wise guidance. Russian patriots sincerely think that the West sets out deliberately to play foul tricks on us. "Westernizers," who think that the countries of the West want to help us, scarcely exist any more. Meanwhile Russia, as in the early years of the century, has again become "the weak link of world capitalism." The Russian soul, mystical "collectivism" and other national peculiarities count for nothing here. Our country has come to occupy a particular place in the world system, and the economic collapse here could serve as the prelude to global shocks.
This is also the result of the policies implemented under the guidance of the IMF. The fund set out to incorporate Russia, with its corrupt authorities and debauched lumpen bourgeoisie, into the world system --- at any price. The international banks got what they were looking for.
In the late spring and early summer, when the inevitability of devaluation was already obvious to any street trader in Moscow, official spokespeople and international financial bureaucrats spoke of a victory over the crisis. In a country on the verge of hunger, millions of dollars were thrown into "supporting the national currency." The outcome was a humiliating failure. The ruble fell.
The stable ruble was proof that the course that had been followed was correct no matter what. About a year ago the Western press was full of prophesies of future success for Russia. One economist even published a book entitled The Coming Russian Boom. In fact, not even the authors of these predictions believed them. Such forecasts are like aspirins: they are not good for any long-term effect, but are meant for immediate pain relief. When used persistently, pain-relieving drugs often become less and less effective. With the devaluation of the ruble, such methods of collective psychotherapy will have to be taken out of use for a time.
The available financial resources will become less, and the demand by the fund's clients for rescue credits will increase. The resources of international financial institutions are not unlimited. It may be that defending "weak positions" on the periphery results in the loss of something important in the "center." Europe has its own potential for social explosion; it is enough to look at the eastern border of Germany. How things will proceed with the unified European currency is not clear either.
The growing difficulties of the IMF inevitably arouse a certain malicious joy among Russians. But the situation will not make things easier for us. In order to escape from the present dead-end, we have to recognise our position in the modern world, our possibilities and our global responsibility. And we have to learn finally to take decisions independently. Even if these decisions are very painful.
There is one thing we need from the West now --- for it to leave us in peace. We need it to stop imposing economic policies that are ruinous for us, while using the pretext of giving us aid. The money that has been sent to support Yeltsin could have been used far better --- for creating jobs in Europe and America, for helping the poorest countries, and for solving environmental problems. But you will never get money from the international bankers for these purposes.

If present plans of power managers are to fructify
Electricity consumers in many parts of the State may get substantial relief if the present plans of power managers are to fructify.
At present, the duration of load shedding is in the range of 8 to 10 hours except in Chennai where it is two hours. Till recently, it was as high as 12 hours. On Sunday morning (about 8 a.m.), the generation was nearly 7,340 megawatt (MW) with the quantum of load shedding of around2,680 MW.
A few days ago, one unit of 500 MW of the Vallur thermal power project achieved the critical stage – commercial operation date (COD). Though there are reports of teething troubles, the State authorities are optimistic that it is a matter of time and Tamil Nadu will get about 345 MW from the unit. The authorities have been seeking at least the entire quantum of unallocated power, which is 75 MW.
Jointly implemented by the NTPC and the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco), the Vallur project has three units of 500 MW each. Another unit too is likely to achieve COD in a few months. The share of Tamil Nadu is about 69 per cent.
As for the additional unit of 600 MW at the Mettur Thermal Power Station [which is run by the Tangedco], the power managers are hopeful of achieving COD by the end of this month. At times, it is generating as high as 500 MW. As per a plan, the managers want to ensure that the additional unit generates 300 MW on a sustained basis from January.
With the authorities securing environmental clearance for Stage II (two units of 600 MW each) of the North Chennai Thermal Power Plant, they are planning to synchronise one unit with the State grid this week. It will take a few more months for reaching the COD stage. The bottom line is that next year's summer will not be as severe as it was this year because the State will have about 1,200 MW more power at its disposal. This does not include the expected commissioning of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project in the coming months. Once the first unit of 1,000 MW starts generation on a sustained basis, the State is to get about 460 MW, though the State government has been demanding allocation of full power. The State's position will be even better in the event of the second unit at the Vallur project also commencing generation.

Badminton: Kashyap and Sindhu move into the semifinals
Losing steam near the finish line, Tommy Sugiarto used every trick in the book to frustrate R.M.V. Gurusaidutt. The third-seeded Indonesian summoned medical help, opted delaying tactics and earned a red card before being docked a point.
Eventually, these unusual on-court happenings combined to break Gurusaidutt's rhythm and paved the way for Sugiarto's entry into the semifinals of the $120,000 Syed Modi Grand Prix gold badminton championship here on Friday.
After posting a 19-21, 22-20, 21-16 triumph in 92 minutes, Sugiarto planted himself on the forecourt and offered to shake Gurusaidutt's hand from under the net. The 22-year-old Indian, understandably done in by Sugiarto's gamesmanship, almost rapped the Indonesian's hand after the painful defeat.
Strangely, Sugiarto needed a helping hand from Australian referee Jane Wheatley to get up and leave the court, with a smile, after his second victory in as many meetings with Gurusaidutt since 2009.
A day after India's challenge ended in doubles, second seeds P. Kashyap and P.V. Sindhu marked the host's presence in the singles semifinals with contrasting victories. Youngsters H.S. Prannoy and K. Srikanth lost to higher-ranked rivals before Gurusaidutt, ranked 39th in the world, suffered an agonising defeat.
Gurusaidutt, who won the Tata Open title in Mumbai before arriving here, admitted to being unaware of the rules. "I don't know how much time is allowed for a player between points.
"After being on the court for around 80 minutes, both of us were tired. But, he started wasting time and I did not know what to do. I wanted to prolong the rallies but could not. He wanted to finish the rally quickly and hurried me up.
"Since the shuttles are very fast (in this arena), I had to play to his pace. I could not find my rhythm again and lost.
Staying positive
"This kind of defeat surely hurts. But I am going to look at the positives from this tournament." said Gurusaidutt, aiming to break into the top-20 of the world and represent the country in the world championship in August.
Sindhu produced yet another dominating performance in getting past Indonesia's Febby Angguni, ranked 144. Considered the country's biggest hope after Saina Nehwal, the world No. 24 Sindhu needed just 37 minutes to pack off the recent Tata Open finalist 21-13, 21-17.
Kashyap, performing far below the level expected from a player ranked 20th in the world, set up a meeting with Sugiarto after battling to a 23-21, 8-21, 21-16 victory against world No. 90 Malaysia's Soon Huat Goh.
The conqueror of former National champion Saurabh Verma in the first round, Goh levelled the match and was leading 14-13 in the decider before Kashyap got his act together.
The results (quarterfinals):
Men: Alamsyah Yunus (Ina) bt H.S. Prannoy 18-21, 21-10, 21-12; Tanongsak Saensomboonsuk (Tha) bt K. Srikanth 21-16, 21-12; Tommy Sugiarto (Ina) bt R.M.V. Gurusaidutt 19-21, 22-20, 21-16; P. Kashyap bt Soon Huat Goh (Mas) 23-21, 8-21, 21-16.
Women: Nozomi Okuhara (Jpn) bt Sannatasah Saniru (Mas) 21-17, 21-12; Lindaweni Fanetri (Ina) bt Nichaon Jindapon (Tha) 21-15, 10-21, 21-12; Sapsiree Taerattanachai (Tha) bt Aprilla Yuswandari (Ina) 21-16, 21-11; P.V. Sindhu bt Febby Angguni (Ina) 21-13, 21-17.

The FOIs' job entails regular monitoring whether airlines are following the safety procedures prescribed by the DGCA that includes cockpit en-route inspection, aircraft cabin inspection and evaluating simulator checks by aircrew.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) had appointed these senior pilots on deputation to make up for its shortage of full time FOIs. As a result, the pre-condition for the job was serving the regulator's office for at least four days a week.
But an attendance sheet for the month of September produced by CASAC shows that none of the 21 pilots selected for the job reported to work for 16 days. In fact, 12 of them were present for less than 10 days.
"The CASAC has pointed out this violation several times but the nobody is willing to take action," said Captain Mohan Ranganathan, member CASAC.Considering the time-consuming nature of the job and its bearing on passenger safety, the DGCA has asked airlines to nominate pilots who do not hold senior managerial positions.
But the report states that even that parameter was violated. Of the 21 FOIs, 19 hold crucial managerial positions in domestic airlines. "Three of FOIs worked with Kingfisher Airlines which is bigger violation because the airline's license is currently suspended," said Captain Ranganathan.
The report gains importance as its findings have come to light a week before the International Civil Aviation Organisation's (ICAO) audit on flight safety standards in the country.
Incidentally, the global policy maker for air safety norms had slammed the DGCA over shortage of FOIs and lack of surveillance during its audit in 2006.
"I hope the DGCA is able to explain such serious safety violations to the ICAO," added Captain Ranganathan.

COLUMBIA — If you look at the Missouri gymnastics roster, you will notice that every Tigers gymnast is listed as an all-around performer.
This is not entirely the case, but it is something the coaching staff stresses to its athletes. Each Missouri gymnast, aside from senior Brooke Boehmer, trains on every event. It's something coach Rob Drass said he thinks makes the team more competitive.
"It's actually a good thing," freshman Lauren Swankoski said. "You never know when they're going to need you on that event. It's not going to come as a surprise if they tell you that you need to have your routine. All of us have a routine on every event."
Boehmer, who trains solely on balance beam, is a former walk-on who became a scholarship athlete. She injured her ACL during her freshman season but has since become one of the team's most reliable balance beam competitors. Drass calls her "a staple" on beam.
"Before I go," Boehmer said, "I always tell myself, 'One thing at a time. You know how to do this. You've done this before.' I just go out there and hit it."
While senior Sarah Shire is one of the country's top beam performers, she credits Boehmer for setting her up during competition.
"She's consistent and confident," Shire said. "She's someone we can really rely on."
Boehmer has a specific role on the team, but the other gymnasts are expected to train in every event, and they are recruited to do so.
Swankoski is one of three gymnasts that perform in every event during meets. It's a large role to assume for a freshman, but her teammates say she's doing a good job.
"Doing the all-around as a freshman is a really big deal," Shire said. "I don't think people realize how hard that is. Starting off as a freshman doing the all-around really sets her up for a great junior and senior year as well."
Swankoski is the No. 88 all-around gymnast in the country, a lower rank than Shire and sophomore Mary Burke. Drass hopes Swankoski will fill the role of top all-around performer in the future. Gaining experience in the all-around as a freshman certainly should help her do that.
"It's an honor as a freshman to get in there and contribute on all four events," Drass said. "We have confidence in Lauren and we believe she's got the right kind of mental attitude as well as physical attributes to come in and contribute at each and every meet. We think she can continue to get better, so we're going to continue to push her.
"Hopefully next year, as we lose Sarah, Mary steps into Sarah's spot, and Lauren steps into Mary's spot, and we have someone else that can step into Lauren's spot."
Missouri competes next against Centenary College at 4 p.m. Sunday in Shreveport, La. The meet, the first of two the Tigers have scheduled against Centenary this season, was moved from Friday because of bad weather. Missouri is 4-1 this season, while Centenary has yet to win and is 0-3.

Holbein's opaque matte gouache is Japan's foremost designers' color medium. These paints deliver a brilliant, rich matte finish using naturally opaque pigments - no opaquing agents added. This creates vibrant, exciting color that won't muddy when mixed.
Color Swatch created using full strength/50/50 and was applied on cold press Bristol board (2 ply) material.
organic, monoazo
This Hansa yellow is a transparent yellow. It has great brightness and tinting strength and its drying time ranges from average to slow.
Hansa Yellow makes more intense tints and cleaner secondaries than Cadmium Yellows, especially when mixed with other organic or modern colors like Phthalo Blue and Green. Because they are more transparent, they have great value as glazing colors.
Hansa Yellow G has good permanence and lightfastness, particularly in the lighter shades.
Hansa Yellow pigments have no significant acute hazards, though chronic hazards have not been well studied.
Hansa Yellows were first made in Germany just before World War I from a series of synthetic dyestuffs called Pigment Yellow. Hansa Yellow G, introduced in 1910, was the first of these products to be commercialized. Hansa Yellow G was the standard yellow for printing inks until late in the 20th century, when stronger diarylide yellows began to replace it. It is still used a great deal in packaging, and for air drying paints.
Light Fast Yellow G, Pigment Yellow G, Arylide, Arylide Yellow, Azo Yellow, Brilliant Yellow, Monoazo Yellow, Monolite Yellow, Permanent Yellow.
mix of organic pigments
Hooker's Green is a bright olive-green often sold in a yellowish shade and a bluish shade. Its transparency can range from dull and dark to bright and light because lightness and chroma vary based on manufacturer. Modern varieties have a rich, dark tone that provides a great range when mixing. Hooker's Green is particularly good for landscape painting when a larger range of foliage is required. Dioxazine Violet is the best mixing compliment in watercolor form.
The permanence and lightfastness of Hooker's Green varies by brand. As a composite pigment historically mixed from Prussian Blue and Gamboge, its permanence is only fair. Modern replacements for Hooker's Green tend to be mixed with components that have more permanence, such as Phthalocyanine Green, Burnt Umber, and sometimes Hansa or Cobalt Yellow.
Hooker's Green can be hazardous, but the toxicity level depends on the specific pigments used by each individual manufacturer or brand.
This pigment was originally an unreliable mix of Prussian or Iron Blue and Gamboge. Later, it became a more reliable mix of Cadmium Yellow and Phthalo Blue or Green. It was a staple green for 19th century landscape and botanical painters. Most modern Hooker's Green paints are yellow greens with a hue angle around 140, or a mix of Phthalo Green and Burnt Umber.

"Clay animation"
There are 6 comments about this creation.
He he! Thats excellent!! Did you make some stop-motion animation and lay that over the photographic background? Or is there some CG animation in there too?!
There is a little of everything in there! I used a plain box, and covered it with green paper to make a greenscreen. Then, I did some stop-motion and then my brother helped me with CG.
Fantastic. I like it.
Wow, what a cool idea! You should check out the Animate It site if you're into animation and would like to share your animations or get tips from animation experts - take a look here: http://www.animate-it.com/Well done!

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is keen on Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill.
The Daily Star says Mancini hopes to off-load Carlos Tevez, Wayne Bridge and Nedum Onuoha this month.
He wants Roma midfielder Daniele de Rossi and Newcastle's Cheick Tiote, and aims to hijack Cahill's proposed move from Bolton to Chelsea.
He is under pressure to meet UEFA's Financial Fair Play regulations, but insists he must keep on spending if City are to become a major European force like Real Madrid and Barcelona.
He said: "Real and Barca have been the best teams in Europe for a long time and they still buy players – so that is what we want to do as well."

Colchicum autumnale
Colchicum autumnale | |
Scientific classification | |
Kingdom: | Plantae |
(unranked): | Angiosperms |
(unranked): | Monocots |
Order: | Liliales |
Family: | Colchicaceae |
Genus: | Colchicum |
Species: | C. autumnale |
Binomial name | |
Colchicum autumnale L.[1] |
Synonyms[2] | |
Colchicum autumnale, commonly known as autumn crocus, meadow saffron[3] or naked lady, is a flower that resembles the true crocuses, but blooms in autumn. (This is not a reliable distinction, however, since many true crocuses flower in autumn.) The name "naked lady" comes from the fact that the flowers emerge from the ground long after the leaves have died back.[4]
The species is commonly cultivated as an ornamental in temperate areas, in spite of its toxicity.
Colchicum autumnale is the only species of its genus native to the United Kingdom, with notable populations under the stewardship of the County Wildlife Trusts. It also occurs across mainland Europe from Portugal to Ukraine, and is reportedly naturalized in Denmark, Sweden, European Russia, the Baltic States and New Zealand.[2]
Pharmaceutical uses[edit]
The bulb-like corms of Colchicum autumnale contain colchicine, a useful drug with a narrow therapeutic index. Colchicine is approved by the US FDA for the treatment of gout and familial Mediterranean fever. Colchicine is also used in plant breeding to produce polyploid strains. A synthetic chemical compound, called ICT2588, which is similar to one from the autumn crocus, is in the early stages of drug development for the treatment of some types of cancer. In experimental testing it was successfully used to treat breast, bowel, lung and prostate cancers in mice when used in combination with the drug doxorubicin.[5][6]
Colchicum plants have been mistaken by foragers for ramsons, which they vaguely resemble, but are deadly poisonous due to their colchicine content. The symptoms of colchicine poisoning resemble those of arsenic, and no antidote is known.
